You find this song comforting? My take was that it had a nasty hook and was neurotic in a trance-like way, so probably the worst thing someone could listen to when they are down. Not that I am not listening to it myself or that I wouldn't have when I was feeling down. I just think there are better influences.
Dismayed Trinket I guess I never saw it that way. I always like to see from different perspectives so thank you for sharing this with me! That’s a much more interesting take.
It so funny that people think edgy people are meant to be angry and mad all the time but bands like Mother Mother r ones making sum great songs while there are pop artists out there romanticizing illnesses.
You're right, there are a lot of musicians who treat illnesses like something """"beautiful""", and it's something terrible Also, I love your user name 😂
They used to be one of those bands. They started back-pedaling a few years ago. Listen to The Stand, Monkey Tree or I go Hungry. Regrettably, that's when their music was still good.
@@Leo-zx4ec Have you ever listened to their former music? I still listen to it often because it's great. They seem to have lost their sound in guilt though. Which sucks for a long time fan like myself.
Just... The moment that I realized, everyone in this video has felt this. All these people, all different in every way, all of them have felt this way, and all of them are saying this to each other, and to you. To me. To all of us. It's real hard to watch this now without feeling an intense love for humanity. I just... I want everyone to know it's alright, that they aren't a monster for their mistakes. I find myself singing along, directing it at the people in the video, and caring about them? I don't know them, I never will, but I feel connected to them when I watch this. Feel free to ignore my crazy ramblings.
This song is such a comfort item for me. I have bipolar, and I have went through so much in my life. Ten years of abuse, tests and pills, outbursts, manic episodes, depressive episodes, and people absolutely not understanding me and thinking I’m not actually struggling.. I’m only 16 now, but I want to hope that my life will get better. It’s really hard, but I hope it works out..
I have bipolar too, and man is it ever hard. I can't promise it'll get better but I can say that it did for me, and it's worth sticking around on the (very high) chance that it will for you. It's the best feeling in the world to look back and be glad you made it through because of how happy you are now. I hope you get there soon :)
This song 100% helped me through when I unblocked my childhood at 29 and suddenly was my younger child self and also turning 30 at the same time. I would listen to it on repeat until I stopped crying.
god i owe my life to this band. a few years ago, i was in probably shittiest spot i’ve ever been in, every single day for almost three years straight was like actual agony, i would get ticked off and lash out at the tiniest thing and start fights left and right. it was almost like the only two things i ever felt were anger and anxiety, and there were so, so many times where i wanted to give up and just pull the plug, but almost all of those times i’d come back to this song at it would give my the strength to pick myself back up and keep going. and now, like two years later i come back to this song and i remember how much i hated myself and hated living i can appreciate how much better things have gotten. of course not every day is perfect, but at least now i wake up every morning ready to get up without stressing over how shit my day will be. if you’ve actually read this far, i just want to say that if your going through a rough spot, even if everything feels like it’s crumbling around you, it will be alright. i know it doesn’t feel like it, it’s always harder to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you’re turned around in the dark, but you’ll get through eventually. there are so, so many people who love you, and even though i probably don’t know who you are, i love you, i’m rooting for you. you’re gonna get out of this alive. it’s alright.
this comment made me cry more than the song itself because i relate soo much. every day lately i am so irritable and anxious and depressed for what feels like no reason and hating myself for how i act. though ive never felt like ending it its a real struggle and it feels like its never going to end so thank you. thank you for reminding us we're not alone and that it doesnt last forever. ilyt stranger and take care of yourself
0:53 made me break and start to cry so hard, it means so much to include someone with disabilities, my little brother is in a wheelchair and it's good to know that.. It's alright, he'll do great
The representation is beautiful. I am a teaching assistant at a high school, which means I work with students that have autism or Down’s - I also am the personal assistant for a student in a wheelchair, on top of all that, I too, have cerebral palsy. It really touches my heart when media represents the forgotten!
Bramble Chaser my little brother has Cerebral Palsy aswell, it's hard, but he's a great and loving kid, and i listen to Mother Mother with him actually, he likes them too hehe, but im also greatful for what you're doing and i hope you're doing well
"You're not a demon, there's a reason you behaved in that way." I wish someone would tell me this. When I heard that line I burst into tears. edit: I just came back to this way later, and there are lots of you guys asking what I did wrong. I have had huge signs of depression and anxiety since I was little, and I was actually diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety in 6th grade. I'm only in 8th grade now, about to go into 9th, but anyways, since I have these problems it caused me to be very irritable and I would say things that upset others around me. I didn't realize how badly I affected others until about 3rd grade, and since then nobody has believed me that one of the reasons I have depressive episodes is because I think that all I am ever good for now is upsetting people in my life. My bad temper has improved a lot since then, but I can still easily be irritated sometimes. I am always confused, saddened, and aggravated because I don't know whether it's my fault things have happened certain ways or if it's my family's fault, or even both. I don't know anymore guys, it's still very hard for me, but I do appreciate all your replies, and I hope you all are doing well.
Lexie S. Well then if no one else will say it then I’ll say it for them. You’re not a demon, there’s a reason you behave in that way. We all behave in different ways because of things we have gone through that we believe no one else has. We’re all living creatures that deserve love don’t forget that.
Same here. But I can safely say that you are NOT a demon. I promise. No matter what it is you think you've done wrong, it's fine, and you will be, too. Never give up
reading all these comments and realizing that this song helped so many people to accept their feelings and stop hating on themselves for emotional outbursts really made me happy and relieved some of my inner tension absolutely adore Mother Mother and this song in particular
I wish someone had told me "you're not a monster, just human and you've made a few mistakes" "You're not a demon, there's a reason you behaved in that way"
If they won't tell you then I will. To quote the song, "You're not a monster, just a human and you've made a few mistakes." Everyone makes mistakes, forgive yourself and learn. Growing from your mistakes makes you a better person! That's the beauty of it. "You're not a demon, there's a reason you behaved in that way." Keep your head up and keep fighting friend because there will always be people to help you and fight along with you no matter how invisable they seem they are there. Best wishes and stay safe :) (lol had to write this twice cause the song switches. Worth it tho.)
"you're not a demon, there's a reason you behaved in that way" legitimately gets me everytime I listen to this song. I've done some awful things in my worst moments, and it... helps me when i'm stuck on them. i am better than my darkest hours
It’s amazing how other artists wouldn’t blink an eye at their fans having mental health issues, they don’t care. But Mother Mother genuinely cares. It’s nice to know that.
This song has been the reason I've been somewhat surviving in school. Everyone hates me and bullies me in my class,and I'm incredibly overwhelmed with tasks which doesn't go well with being mentally ill. But this song never fails to pull me back from the edge. Thank you Mother Mother
Find what helps you survive and cling to it, this is an amazing song for that :) For me it was "In the middle" by Jimmy Eat World, another good song that can get ya through. I know it doesnt feel it right now but school is a blip on the radar, you wont ever have to see the asshats that bully you again. You are above them and better than them, and 1 day you will look back at your school days and ask yourself why you cared about them so much. I know I do.
This song has quickly become my 'shit sucks but I will do better' anthem. It's comforting on nights that suck and inspiring on ones that don't, but it's never hit me quite as hard as the first time I heard it until now. Somehow this video captures that same feeling of understanding, acceptance, and hope that I felt the first time I heard this song. It's a strong message, and a lot of people need to hear it. So thank you, mother mother
SARAH love your videos! and i stayed up all night the day this album was released so i could listen to it as soon as possible. Cried my eyes out at about 4am. so happy it exists.
On release day I woke up an hour before I had to start getting ready for school. I listened to the entire album and then a few more times during school and play rehearsal .
Hey dude, just checking in! I hope your alright, and I want you to know that you don’t deserve having a homophobic mother. I hope that she comes around, but if she doesn’t you are still completely valid and not at fault. She’s your mother, she’s supposed to accept you no matter what and work to understand you. I truly do hope that she comes around.
I don’t know how to word this but, Not enough people understand that being gay is absolutely normal. And I just wanted to say I’m here to be moral support
I recently came out to all my friends that I'm trans. I'm finally starting to feel good about myself and accept who I am. In the span of 2 days, I drew 9 things, which is more than I would have drawn in a month before. It feels so nice to be truly happy again, and it's songs like this that help me out of the bad times and reinforce my happiness. Mother Mother is probably my favorite band and honestly, without their songs, I might not have made it this far. Just remember, Things might get worse before they get better, but keep going, believe in yourself. There is someone out there who will love you for you. I believe in all of you
Hello! I'm also trans. I came out to my family a few months ago and I've been going through a tough time now struggling with self viewing and anxiety. I just know that it'll be alright eventually. You are amazing and keep doing what you do
I'm also trans I came out to my family about 6 months ago my mom was "supportive" but she wouldn't use my pronouns and she would deadname me and she still does I haven't told my dad because he thinks I'm too young to know. My step brother has a bad mind set because when he was told things like "boys don't cry" "boys don't wear pink" that kind of stuff so he asks me every few months "do you want to be treated like a boy or a girl?" And I say "I want to be treated either like a human being or nothing at all" it pisses him off everyime to the point where he hit me once but soon I will move out (I'm living with my mom at his place) i made a small group of online friends and my supportive brother and best friend to get me though my hell (sorry this is so long) Edit: things are better now and I told my dad he said he already knew when I was younger. Edit 2: due to covid I won't be going anywhere away from my step brother and things have unfortunately gotten worse
Fellow trans guy here. Well done on coming out and taking the first step on the road to living authentically as "you" ❤️ I'm so proud of you. It's gonna be a long and difficult road, but you can do this. I've been out and socially transitioned for 4 years now and it's still fucking hard most of the time, but I'm coping and holding out for next year when I'm finally starting hormones. I just want to let you know that life can and will get better. Your trans brothers and sisters(/siblings) are behind you. You got this.
Oh, it's alright, oh Oh, hey I had a night I had a day I did one million stupid things I said one billion foolish things I'm not okay I got a baseball bat beside my bed The fight I fought inside my head The fight I fought behind my meds I'm lonely, lost in pain It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a monster, just a human That you made of your mistakes It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not grouse, I'm just human That you made of your mistakes It's alright, oh It's okay, oh Goddamn I've thrown a brick right through the window My life ignored the signals I am high and drunk on ego Can't see straight So I just feel my way around man I am touching, I am grabbing Everything I can't be havin' I am broken down in shame It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a demon, there's a reason You're behaving that way It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay And I believe, yes I believe That you will see a better day It's alright, oh It's okay, oh It's alright, oh I don't wanna know who I am 'Cause heaven only knows what I find I don't wanna know I'm not capable of coming out alive I don't wanna see what's inside I think that I would rather be blind I don't wanna know I'm not capable, I'm capable I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay I'm not a monster, I'm a human And I made a few mistakes I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay I'm not grouse, I'm just human And I made a few It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a demon, there's a reason You're behaving that way It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay And I believe, yes I believe That you will see a better day It's alright, oh It's okay, oh It's alright, oh And I believe, yes I believe That you will see a better day (It's alright)
i’m 15 years old. my mother and i don’t have the.. best relationship. i don’t know if i should call her emotionally abusive or what not. she’s very homophobic and transphobic, has threatened to punish me for my self harm addiction, interrogates me if my gay friends talk to me about incredibly inappropriate things, which they don’t. i was outed to her a lesbian about a year ago, and i had to pledge to her that i was straight. i’m not. whenever we argue, i’ve noticed i’ve started to immediately get angry, sad... just emotional overall. i’ve started screaming at the top of my lungs and whenever i go in my room to hide, i start crying. sobbing. i feel horrible each time. whenever we get in a fight, my mom accuses me of thinking she’s a monster, or some type of abuser. (i.e. “i don’t know *why* you think i’m some monster”), which, in return, makes me feel like a monster for making her feel that way. this song... i cant even begin to describe what it’s done for me. thank you, mother mother, for reminding me i’m not a monster.
hello dear i am completely shocked by this story I'm 13 and I understand you completely! these days my parents saw my cell phone and saw that I was completely different from what I was for them ... because of that I spent a week without a cell phone I wish you the best of luck with your mother! I hope she understands you like me and several people.
I stumbled upon this song while I was sobbing, contemplating offing myself. Every bone in my body ached, and I accidentally clicked on this. It calmed me down and put a smile on my face.. No song has ever done that. Thank you, so much.
@@makcuja You guys are so lovely. The update is I've been clean for 1 year now and found my passion in life. Everythings alright on this side of life now. I hope you lot are doing well
I love the parallels between the lyrics, the many faces and folks we see on screen, and the color grading reflecting and showing growth and acceptance with oneself. No matter who you are, what you've been through, and what folks may think of you, it's alright.
I’ve been suffering with an auto immune disease for the last 5 years and lost my colon to it last year. This song has gotten me through so many tough times. I remember just listening to it on repeat in my hospital bed for days on end.
The first time I listened to this song i had a mental breakdown. It’s honestly the only song I’ve heard that lets me put down my guard and go get help. Go cry to my friends instead of alone. Try again with my mother instead of hiding. I’ve been struggling with so many issues, I’ve been cutting and skipping meals and locking myself in my room whenever i could. I couldn’t *breath* in her house, where my mum is either not there and shutting me out or controlling me like a puppet. One day I was on my iPad again and I got recommended this. I was feeling so alone, but this song makes me feel like that each mistake I’ve made can be fixed. That I can be fixed. I now listen to this on repeat when I’m thinking about cutting or suicide again, and its the best I can get, and the best someone I dont know has ever given me.
I know that things will get bettter, my friend. No matter what, there will always be people, like me, who love you (and I don't even know you!) Stay strong and carry on!
2:10 I started to cry at that exact moment. I don't know if it is because of Ryan singing it or because it is used in first person, used a way that is not someone taking to you, but you to yourself. Some statements that you don't believe, that you think it's a complete lie, but it seems like it coming through your throat non-stop, trying to make you know something you never even thought about. Damn...
People need to use this song in more things about mental health and accepting yourself. It's so perfect! Like, it reminds people that they may have mental health struggles but are still worthy of having a life like everyone else.
Hey it’s me 2:05 . I just wanted to say that being a part of this was so much fun and I’m so grateful for the opportunity .The video looks fantastic. You guys have inspired me throughout my life and I just really want to say thank you for everything ❤️
this is my 2019 anthem, we've been self-deprecating long enough, it's time to heal and love ourselves edit: "this aged poorly!!" absolutely not. i may be living in a dystopian hellscape, but that doesn't mean i'm giving up. at the end of 2018, i made a promise to the people i love that i was gonna stop being a bastard to myself. i started therapy, i stopped hurting myself, i got medicated, i educated myself, and i'm more willing to fight than ever. the present moment sucks, but it's been that way for so long. we've been cheated, manipulated, taken advantage of, exploited, and fucking murdered in the streets for generations, by the lackeys of rich assholes who benefit most from this horrific status quo. but here's the thing: there will ALWAYS be more of us than there are billionaires and cops. loving myself is something i have to choose to do every day, and only one piece of that is forgiveness. it's almost never easy, but it's less difficult to forgive myself when i do something else you're supposed to do for someone you love: stand up for them. when you stand up for yourself, you tell someone else "i don't deserve to be treated this way," and soon you start to believe it. the people who benefit from our complacency also benefit from us hating ourselves, from us believing that the way things are is what we deserve, from our lack of demand for change. i can't tell you how much i wish i wasn't living in a time period i'll see in my grandkid's history books, life fucking sucks right now. but we RECOGNIZE how bad this is, we KNOW we can do better for ourselves and one another. look at how you talk to yourself and ask if you'd do that to anyone else. you have every bad thing you've ever done to guilt yourself with, every awful memory you replay over and over in your head, and you're using all that ammo against the one person you're stuck with for the rest of your life? the biggest thing that helped me stop hurting myself like that was the realization that my brother felt the exact same way about himself. i know he's wrong, he's a wonderful person who's earned every good thing he's got, and if he's wrong about himself, maybe i'm wrong about me. all of these things, promising others i'd change, recognizing a need for collective justice, and understanding what fucking bullies we are to ourselves; all of this fuels me, even on my worst days, to never give up. 2020 is a horrifying fucking year, but if you see how bad this is, you know that you and the people you love deserve a better world to live in. maybe you also deserve a better voice in the back of your head, one that doesn't tell you to kill yourself all the time. two years ago, i wouldn't have believed that, but two years can be a long time to spend working on you. TL;DR: stop replying to this comment and get some goddamn help.
Mother Mother has helped me in EVERY way possible... I am a lesbian and I sometimes get scared what my parents would do id they find out... I've had A LOT of fights with them and well this song reminds me I am not a monster or a bad person... THANK YOU MOTHER MOTHER YOU MAKE ME FEEL SAFE
I have really bad OCD and with it comes extreme guilt and fear. There were times where my OCD truly had me convinced I was a monster, and If I’m being honest, it still happens sometimes. I’ve heard this song before and really liked it, but hearing it after going through my trauma made me cry. The lyrics to this song are so relatable and comforting to me. I’m glad this song helps so many other people as well :)
No but Near the end, despite syncing for the entire song, Ryan closes his mouth for the vocals. He isn't singing. Hope is singing, and everyone is just singing along.
By that point I was mouthing the words to myself. When he didn't sing I was struck. It's a really powerful moment in an amazing video to accompany this beautiful song
Mother mother has to be one of the FEW artists where nearly every song is amazing! Not the pop artists with 2 or 3 good songs. Every damn album is a banger. ❤️❤️
So true. Every song is awesome. And unlike other bands MM just gets better and better. Can't wait for LP8. You know it's gonna be another epic album. 👍
Lyrics for anyone who wants them! Oh, It's alright, oh Oh hey, I had a night I had a day I did one million stupid things I said one billion foolish things I'm not okay, I got a baseball bat beside my bed To fight off what's inside my head The fight off what's behind my meds I'm lonely; lost in pain It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a monster, just a human And you made a few mistakes It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not gruesome, just human And you made a few mistakes It's alright Ooh, it's okay Ooh, it's alright Ooh Goddamn I throw a brick right through the window My life ignored the signals I'm high and drunk on ego, can't see straight So I just feel my way around man I'm touching and I'm grabbing Everything I can't be havin' I am broken down in shame It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a demon, there's a reason You're behaving that way It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay And I believe, yes I believe that you will see a better day It's alright Ooh, it's okay Ooh, it's alright Ooh Ah-ah-ah-ah I don't wanna know who I am 'Cause heaven only knows what I find I don't wanna know I'm not capable Of coming out alive I don't wanna see what's inside I think that I would rather be blind I don't wanna know I'm not capable, I'm capable I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay I'm not a monster, I'm a human And I made a few mistakes I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay I'm not gruesome, just human And I made a few It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a demon, there's a reason You're behaving that way It's alright Ooh, it's okay Ooh, it's alright Ooh I believe, yes I believe that you will see a better day It's alright
This song feels like the audio equivalent of a long hug. I've been listening to it on repeat for three days now. "Youre not a demon, theres a reason, you behaved in that way" especially hits hard
I first listened to this song within a week of finding out that I'm autistic. My parents never told me and they just let me believe that I was socially dumb or something and that everytime I failed to socialize with people and make friends it was just my fault. There were maybe only two songs in the world that could make me cry when I listened to them, but this is the first song that I _connected_ with. I just happened to hear it for the first time when I really needed it. Thank you.
Why is this band so underrated? I just don't understand. They deserve so much more recognition, I've cried at so many of their songs..they make me feel so much better. They deserve so much more 😭
As someone who has been told to my face that I was "the dark spot in someone's life" this song is beautiful. I screwed up and in doing so burned bridges. But I'm human, and I'm gonna screw up. Not that it makes what I did okay, but that I am allowed to not be that person anymore or let that person hold me down and keep me in the dark. And I refuse to be told otherwise.
In May, I found this song and then the next day my cat got ran over right in front of my house. I listened to this song everyday for months to cope. It seems strange for a grieving song, but the continuous mantra of “it’s alright, it’s ok” was a voice of reason when my mind wouldn’t stop replaying the scene in my head. Thanks for being there for me, Mother Mother ❤️
Sometimes I feel like the world just doesn't understand me and I get overwhelmed, "You're not a demon, there's reason, you behaved in that way" is enough to put tears in my eyes
Me too. Every line of this song sank deeply into my soul and helped me forgive myself for saying stupid things (which seems to be something I do way too often).
I’ve been hospitalized twice now. Just recovered again from suicidal thoughts and self-harming and now I’m back listening to this song more than I ever have listened to any other😭😍🌹🦋🖤❤️
Whoever reads this, you are important, you are smart you are talented what you feel and what you think matters you are lovable, you deserve peace and happiness
this song makes me so safe and comforted because sometimes all you need to hear is "everything is going to be okay" and hearing from someone just takes the pain away and gives you strength to fight for yourself more.
HOLD UP wait Rosie, you don't hate yourself do you? That would make me pretty sad..I don't know you but like..I don't like it when people do crazy stuff that I don't know. It's really frightening to me and I feel so sad that it happens so often. Can I maybe suggest one little thing of advice if that is actually an issue for you? Stop hating yourself. I did. For once in my life I love life. So you know. Take that into consideration, ok? I hope you have a better life soon. I think you will. OK BYE
He is a really good guy. Hes my friend. I was in the video too. But you can find his awesome photos at instagram. Hes one hell of a good guy. @bebraveimages
I've been listening to this for years, but today, it humanized me to myself. I've gone most of my life thinking I have had to be perfect and that if I wasn't special I was worthless, I've lied, I've hurt, I've been the bad guy rightfully. But This song is helping me realize that I am allowed to forgive myself and move on. So thank you Mother Mother you have helped a 16-year-old more than you could ever know.
That's so deep. I didn't push play just yet, so I'm just getting myself all hype to listen. I look forward to see the meanings you have in mind if you are willing to share anyway. If not, I hope you have a wonderful existence.
@@hongodelaluna9054 Thank you, This song has such a powerful meaning to it, for me it's about taking the mistakes you have made in your past no matter how long ago, and taking that realizing you did something wrong taking the lesson from it, and moving on and realizing you are a person and it's okay to make mistakes. As we grow older a lot of people think that at some point you have to know how to do everything and that you cant make a mistake anymore, but we are all human no matter how old we grow we will never know everything and there is always a lesson to learn and we have to make mistakes to learn anything, and the song kind of tells people that it is okay to make mistakes and that there is always a reason for every dicision anyone makes, the line "theres a reason you behaved in that way" really shows that, I bullied people in the past, I regret it deeply, but I had a reason, I hurt people because I was being hurt, that doesnt make it okay by any means but there is always a reason. I adore mother mother because they always cary an amazing lesson in there songs
The shift to actively grabbing and internalizing to the good voices is spectacular. I am a therapist and use this song with clients... and to remind myself of hope and healing.
I just got off the phone with someone who just shit talked me for sleeping with someone with no strings attached while I’m single, I kinda needed to remind myself I’m not the monster everyone thinks I am. Thank you for writing this “I’m alright, I’m okay, I’m not gruesome, just human, and I made a few mistakes.”
and it’s definitely not a mistake, you are perfectly allowed no-strings-attached sex while you’re single! as long as everybody involved is a consenting adult, as Nicole said. you didn’t make a mistake and you didn’t deserved to be shamed, i can only imagine how something like that would feel because sex can be so personal.
Don't lie, you've cried to this song multiple times. It's okay, everything's gonna get better. Maybe not tommorrow, maybe not in a week, maybe not in a year, but it will get better.
Everytime I hear this song I think of my dad. I hope he hears this someday. There's episodes when I don't hear from him in months. Then I get a call that he's in a mental hospital or in ER. At times Im so scared that he won't call me back again. I just want him to know that I don't blame him for anything. Rn it has been months since I've heard from him.
I'm in tears. Seeing everyone's face and seeing their emotions. Seeing them over come their fears and overcoming everything. I'm so proud of them. Just remember everything will be alright. It'll get better.
It's 5:30 in the morning even though i wanted to sleep in. I had an awful nightmare that made me wonder if panic attack dreams are a thing. It's a type of dream that has happened before and probably will happen again, but it's never been this bad yet. It always ends with me hopelessly sobbing on the floor trying to beg for help with no words coming out, only for me to awake in my bed, sweaty and out of breath. I drink some tea, try to cope, and see if i even want to try to go back to sleep. I remembered this song was out there, i really appreciate it. I'll probably be coping for another half an hour and decide not to go to bed again, so thank you for keeping me company with this song.
I love how much emotions this song has. The fact there is multiple person shown demonstrates how common it is to feel you are not good enough and that you are monstrous. And it also shows how people can overcome these feelings and it is alright to have these thoughts. You are not alone.
mother mother has fucking BOPS that actually have MEANING, isnt it amazing? that song is actually about toxic masculinity. i know all the lyrics, and i love that song so much!
"You're not a demon, theres a reason you behaved in that way" I wish more people would realize that sometimes anger is a response to pain. for some people, if they feel like someone close to them has betrayed them, they might be more likely to lash out and do or say things they shouldn't. sometimes people feel so much pain they have to change it into something else so they don’t fall apart.
This song always helps me whenever I'm having a panic attack, or mental breakdown. It has even helped me through a gigantic break-up. I would just like to say thanks, and I hope everyone has an amazing day.
I like how there is a kid, Its tough to realize cause its sad, but kids go through things too, Lmao im a kid going through stuff, hahaha, humans go through things
I just want to say thank you so much. You'll probably never see this comment but that's alright. I just want you to know how many lives you've touched. This song has saved lives, its my comfort song for when I'm not okay
this is probably the best song for a breakdown. no other song will comfort your thoughts like this. mother mother never disappoints.
Right
You find this song comforting? My take was that it had a nasty hook and was neurotic in a trance-like way, so probably the worst thing someone could listen to when they are down. Not that I am not listening to it myself or that I wouldn't have when I was feeling down. I just think there are better influences.
Dismayed Trinket I guess I never saw it that way. I always like to see from different perspectives so thank you for sharing this with me! That’s a much more interesting take.
@@rachmichaelis - that's a good outlook, I appreciate that. Especially coming across it on the internet.
True like I did
It so funny that people think edgy people are meant to be angry and mad all the time but bands like Mother Mother r ones making sum great songs while there are pop artists out there romanticizing illnesses.
You're right, there are a lot of musicians who treat illnesses like something """"beautiful""", and it's something terrible
Also, I love your user name 😂
They used to be one of those bands. They started back-pedaling a few years ago. Listen to The Stand, Monkey Tree or I go Hungry. Regrettably, that's when their music was still good.
Rock for me:REEEEEEEEEAAAAGHHHH this band: show that we are worth it. Still me I want more earblasting REEEEEEEEAGHHHHH
@@warmarmot1 Was it romanticizing ? You can talk about mental illnesses without glorifying it
@@Leo-zx4ec Have you ever listened to their former music? I still listen to it often because it's great. They seem to have lost their sound in guilt though. Which sucks for a long time fan like myself.
When the band called Mother Mother is more supportive than your actual mom
Big oof
Hah right
Is it bad that this is relateable
@@normanminecraftsspiderhusb2789 yes in so many ways lol but it’s true
Yep
Just... The moment that I realized, everyone in this video has felt this. All these people, all different in every way, all of them have felt this way, and all of them are saying this to each other, and to you. To me. To all of us.
It's real hard to watch this now without feeling an intense love for humanity. I just... I want everyone to know it's alright, that they aren't a monster for their mistakes. I find myself singing along, directing it at the people in the video, and caring about them? I don't know them, I never will, but I feel connected to them when I watch this.
Feel free to ignore my crazy ramblings.
I- just yes :') same herreee💚
Awh, thank you. That sure is a lovely thing to feel
Thank you
Your "crazy ramblings" are deep and beautiful
OH fu*k do I ever love you so hard for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
three minutes of therapy never hit so hard

Definitely
yes
Thearapy never worked for me so this is the closest type that will work

Some days you just need a hug and someone to say “It’s alright. It’s okay.” So if you read this, I give you e-hugs. It’s alright. It’s okay.
ty, i needed it
Why did this make me cry- thanks so much ❤️
@@skvllbody3080 it’s alright it’s okay. **hugs** I hope you have a good day/night friend.
@@icetiger-4760 thank you ❤️ I just finished my mental break down and this made it better
@@skvllbody3080 it will be okay friend.
This song is such a comfort item for me. I have bipolar, and I have went through so much in my life. Ten years of abuse, tests and pills, outbursts, manic episodes, depressive episodes, and people absolutely not understanding me and thinking I’m not actually struggling.. I’m only 16 now, but I want to hope that my life will get better. It’s really hard, but I hope it works out..
I have bipolar too, and man is it ever hard. I can't promise it'll get better but I can say that it did for me, and it's worth sticking around on the (very high) chance that it will for you. It's the best feeling in the world to look back and be glad you made it through because of how happy you are now. I hope you get there soon :)
sending love to you 🥺🖤
My english isn't the best,but i wish you can be happy and still being stronger. ❤️
I hope it gets better ❤️
im sending all my love too you trust me it will get better
goodnight to those who sob to this alone in their rooms because you know this song is giving you more comfort and closure than your mother ever will
for a second I thought I wrote this and forgot about it and questioned myself .this is so relatable
This song 100% helped me through when I unblocked my childhood at 29 and suddenly was my younger child self and also turning 30 at the same time. I would listen to it on repeat until I stopped crying.
Amen to that.
"mother" doesnt require much to get
"mom" is earned
I feel like this is the anthem for people with mental illness
It is sure as hell my person anthem now.
Spencer V it is! It calms my anxiety 💗💗💗
I think it is an anthem for all of us!!!
🤘 😊 🤘
It surely is :3
or just people in general?
Hey you
Yes you
Stop hating yourself
"You're not a monster, just human, and you made a few mistakes."
T-thank you
Thanks for the fake encouragement
😒 mistakes that can never be fixs😪
@@cheese_ninentdo_nerds_worl2545 like me 🙂
I have made a lot of mistakes, when does it end? I'm tired.
god i owe my life to this band.
a few years ago, i was in probably shittiest spot i’ve ever been in, every single day for almost three years straight was like actual agony, i would get ticked off and lash out at the tiniest thing and start fights left and right. it was almost like the only two things i ever felt were anger and anxiety, and there were so, so many times where i wanted to give up and just pull the plug, but almost all of those times i’d come back to this song at it would give my the strength to pick myself back up and keep going.
and now, like two years later i come back to this song and i remember how much i hated myself and hated living i can appreciate how much better things have gotten. of course not every day is perfect, but at least now i wake up every morning ready to get up without stressing over how shit my day will be.
if you’ve actually read this far, i just want to say that if your going through a rough spot, even if everything feels like it’s crumbling around you, it will be alright. i know it doesn’t feel like it, it’s always harder to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you’re turned around in the dark, but you’ll get through eventually. there are so, so many people who love you, and even though i probably don’t know who you are, i love you, i’m rooting for you. you’re gonna get out of this alive. it’s alright.
Thank you. I'm so glad you made it out, same goes to you.. very proud of you! :)
Thanks for sharing
Oh boy, here come the tears.
I love you.
this comment made me cry more than the song itself because i relate soo much. every day lately i am so irritable and anxious and depressed for what feels like no reason and hating myself for how i act. though ive never felt like ending it its a real struggle and it feels like its never going to end so thank you. thank you for reminding us we're not alone and that it doesnt last forever. ilyt stranger and take care of yourself
Crying my eyes out to this song because it says “it’s alright, it’s okay” and I’m not okay but hearing it be said “to me” feels so comforting
Agreed
0:53 made me break and start to cry so hard, it means so much to include someone with disabilities, my little brother is in a wheelchair and it's good to know that.. It's alright, he'll do great
I wish you the best with your brother
The representation is beautiful. I am a teaching assistant at a high school, which means I work with students that have autism or Down’s - I also am the personal assistant for a student in a wheelchair, on top of all that, I too, have cerebral palsy. It really touches my heart when media represents the forgotten!
Bramble Chaser my little brother has Cerebral Palsy aswell, it's hard, but he's a great and loving kid, and i listen to Mother Mother with him actually, he likes them too hehe, but im also greatful for what you're doing and i hope you're doing well
That's my friend Spencer, he's killing it in life, meeting so many famous musicians and working for a radio station.
Jayne Wright holy crap im so proud of him
"You're not a demon, there's a reason you behaved in that way."
I wish someone would tell me this. When I heard that line I burst into tears.
edit: I just came back to this way later, and there are lots of you guys asking what I did wrong. I have had huge signs of depression and anxiety since I was little, and I was actually diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety in 6th grade. I'm only in 8th grade now, about to go into 9th, but anyways, since I have these problems it caused me to be very irritable and I would say things that upset others around me. I didn't realize how badly I affected others until about 3rd grade, and since then nobody has believed me that one of the reasons I have depressive episodes is because I think that all I am ever good for now is upsetting people in my life. My bad temper has improved a lot since then, but I can still easily be irritated sometimes. I am always confused, saddened, and aggravated because I don't know whether it's my fault things have happened certain ways or if it's my family's fault, or even both. I don't know anymore guys, it's still very hard for me, but I do appreciate all your replies, and I hope you all are doing well.
Lexie S. Well then if no one else will say it then I’ll say it for them. You’re not a demon, there’s a reason you behave in that way. We all behave in different ways because of things we have gone through that we believe no one else has. We’re all living creatures that deserve love don’t forget that.
Same here. But I can safely say that you are NOT a demon. I promise. No matter what it is you think you've done wrong, it's fine, and you will be, too. Never give up
Lexie S. hey your doing ok your on UA-cam commenting life can’t be all bad lol, we go through shit some more then others... it’s alright it’s ok
you're not a demon, there's a reason you behaved in that way.
Yeah, I cried too. I also cried when I heard "You're not a monster, just a human and you made a few mistakes"
I'm about to go to counseling/therapy for the first time today, I feel really nauseous but this song helps so much, I love you Mother Mother
Hope it went well for you
I hope that it when okay therapy I'm going to go to therapy to 😊 this comment help me that I'm feeling this way 😊
reading all these comments and realizing that this song helped so many people to accept their feelings and stop hating on themselves for emotional outbursts really made me happy and relieved some of my inner tension
absolutely adore Mother Mother and this song in particular
Nobody:
Me listening to the band on repeat and crying my eyes out: "Its alright its okay, youre not a demon theres a reason you behaved in that way"
*tries to find replay button*
Naveed Douthitt i did this a few nights in a row, but lemme tell u bro it HITS different LMAOO
@@bigsisjazzy3 Im still listening to it on repeat because IT SLAPS
Me everytime I hear this song
that line made me tear up, which is bad because i'm supposed to be trying to write an essay
I wish someone had told me "you're not a monster, just human and you've made a few mistakes"
"You're not a demon, there's a reason you behaved in that way"
If they won't tell you then I will. To quote the song, "You're not a monster, just a human and you've made a few mistakes." Everyone makes mistakes, forgive yourself and learn. Growing from your mistakes makes you a better person! That's the beauty of it. "You're not a demon, there's a reason you behaved in that way." Keep your head up and keep fighting friend because there will always be people to help you and fight along with you no matter how invisable they seem they are there. Best wishes and stay safe :)
(lol had to write this twice cause the song switches. Worth it tho.)

"you're not a demon, there's a reason you behaved in that way"
legitimately gets me everytime I listen to this song. I've done some awful things in my worst moments, and it... helps me when i'm stuck on them. i am better than my darkest hours
In the hero's journey, the darkest hour usually comes right before the victory :)
You're not irredeemable. You can always come back. We love you.
It’s amazing how other artists wouldn’t blink an eye at their fans having mental health issues, they don’t care. But Mother Mother genuinely cares. It’s nice to know that.
periodt
This song has been the reason I've been somewhat surviving in school. Everyone hates me and bullies me in my class,and I'm incredibly overwhelmed with tasks which doesn't go well with being mentally ill. But this song never fails to pull me back from the edge. Thank you Mother Mother
Find what helps you survive and cling to it, this is an amazing song for that :) For me it was "In the middle" by Jimmy Eat World, another good song that can get ya through.
I know it doesnt feel it right now but school is a blip on the radar, you wont ever have to see the asshats that bully you again. You are above them and better than them, and 1 day you will look back at your school days and ask yourself why you cared about them so much. I know I do.
@@aylafalloon4284 ahh,thank you so much,to be honestly i teared up! Your words mean a lot 💙 I'll give that song a listen rn
not me crying right before my online class to this
Me too
I'm about to cry in class at this song- (like actual class not virtual)
This song has quickly become my 'shit sucks but I will do better' anthem. It's comforting on nights that suck and inspiring on ones that don't, but it's never hit me quite as hard as the first time I heard it until now. Somehow this video captures that same feeling of understanding, acceptance, and hope that I felt the first time I heard this song. It's a strong message, and a lot of people need to hear it. So thank you, mother mother
Aaaw. Lots of love to you Nicole. 👍
where were you when you heard this song for the first time and your life was forever changed?
Sarah Z I think I was walking home after being stood up by my friends, wbu?
SARAH love your videos! and i stayed up all night the day this album was released so i could listen to it as soon as possible. Cried my eyes out at about 4am. so happy it exists.
On release day I woke up an hour before I had to start getting ready for school. I listened to the entire album and then a few more times during school and play rehearsal .
doing homework in the middle of the night, listened to this, then crying silently to myself at 1 AM because it's alright
In bedroom about to sleep then I got notified
It's strange how a band can help you better than anyone else. Music is therapy.
I just came out to my mom and she was very homophobic so I'm now listening to this song on repeat. Thank you for making this.
Oh damn are you alright?
Hey dude, just checking in! I hope your alright, and I want you to know that you don’t deserve having a homophobic mother. I hope that she comes around, but if she doesn’t you are still completely valid and not at fault. She’s your mother, she’s supposed to accept you no matter what and work to understand you. I truly do hope that she comes around.
I don’t know how to word this but, Not enough people understand that being gay is absolutely normal. And I just wanted to say I’m here to be moral support
Please don’t listen to what she says!! You are completely valid
Checking in with you homie , hope you're doing okay 🤟
Everytime I'm suicidal I listen to this song. Usually on repeat.
Hope youre doing ok Kate. Even people who dont know you care about your well being. ❤
It's been quite some time but I hope you're doing better now ❤
Everything will get better, Ur enough, ur worth it. And really strong, I know times a tough but you will get thru it :)
Srry for my bad spelling-
Things will get better you are amazing
I recently came out to all my friends that I'm trans. I'm finally starting to feel good about myself and accept who I am. In the span of 2 days, I drew 9 things, which is more than I would have drawn in a month before. It feels so nice to be truly happy again, and it's songs like this that help me out of the bad times and reinforce my happiness. Mother Mother is probably my favorite band and honestly, without their songs, I might not have made it this far.
Just remember, Things might get worse before they get better, but keep going, believe in yourself. There is someone out there who will love you for you. I believe in all of you
so much love friend
Hello! I'm also trans. I came out to my family a few months ago and I've been going through a tough time now struggling with self viewing and anxiety. I just know that it'll be alright eventually. You are amazing and keep doing what you do
I'm also trans I came out to my family about 6 months ago my mom was "supportive" but she wouldn't use my pronouns and she would deadname me and she still does I haven't told my dad because he thinks I'm too young to know. My step brother has a bad mind set because when he was told things like "boys don't cry" "boys don't wear pink" that kind of stuff so he asks me every few months "do you want to be treated like a boy or a girl?" And I say "I want to be treated either like a human being or nothing at all" it pisses him off everyime to the point where he hit me once but soon I will move out (I'm living with my mom at his place) i made a small group of online friends and my supportive brother and best friend to get me though my hell (sorry this is so long)
Edit: things are better now and I told my dad he said he already knew when I was younger.
Edit 2: due to covid I won't be going anywhere away from my step brother and things have unfortunately gotten worse
I came out as trans to some very close friends very recently, it really does lift a weight off your shoulders 💕
Fellow trans guy here. Well done on coming out and taking the first step on the road to living authentically as "you" ❤️ I'm so proud of you. It's gonna be a long and difficult road, but you can do this. I've been out and socially transitioned for 4 years now and it's still fucking hard most of the time, but I'm coping and holding out for next year when I'm finally starting hormones. I just want to let you know that life can and will get better. Your trans brothers and sisters(/siblings) are behind you. You got this.
Oh, it's alright, oh
Oh, hey
I had a night I had a day
I did one million stupid things
I said one billion foolish things
I'm not okay
I got a baseball bat beside my bed
The fight I fought inside my head
The fight I fought behind my meds
I'm lonely, lost in pain
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a monster, just a human
That you made of your mistakes
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not grouse, I'm just human
That you made of your mistakes
It's alright, oh
It's okay, oh
Goddamn
I've thrown a brick right through the window
My life ignored the signals
I am high and drunk on ego
Can't see straight
So I just feel my way around man
I am touching, I am grabbing
Everything I can't be havin'
I am broken down in shame
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a demon, there's a reason
You're behaving that way
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
And I believe, yes I believe
That you will see a better day
It's alright, oh
It's okay, oh
It's alright, oh
I don't wanna know who I am
'Cause heaven only knows what I find
I don't wanna know I'm not capable of coming out alive
I don't wanna see what's inside
I think that I would rather be blind
I don't wanna know I'm not capable, I'm capable
I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay
I'm not a monster, I'm a human
And I made a few mistakes
I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay
I'm not grouse, I'm just human
And I made a few
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a demon, there's a reason
You're behaving that way
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
And I believe, yes I believe
That you will see a better day
It's alright, oh
It's okay, oh
It's alright, oh
And I believe, yes I believe
That you will see a better day
(It's alright)
Thanks 👍🏻
It's "gruesome" not "grouse" xD
Also thank you ❤️

I think the baseball part is wrong.
"I got a baseball beside my bed
To fight off what's inside my head
To find out what's behind my meds."
i’m 15 years old.
my mother and i don’t have the.. best relationship.
i don’t know if i should call her emotionally abusive or what not. she’s very homophobic and transphobic, has threatened to punish me for my self harm addiction, interrogates me if my gay friends talk to me about incredibly inappropriate things, which they don’t. i was outed to her a lesbian about a year ago, and i had to pledge to her that i was straight. i’m not.
whenever we argue, i’ve noticed i’ve started to immediately get angry, sad... just emotional overall. i’ve started screaming at the top of my lungs and whenever i go in my room to hide, i start crying. sobbing. i feel horrible each time.
whenever we get in a fight, my mom accuses me of thinking she’s a monster, or some type of abuser. (i.e. “i don’t know *why* you think i’m some monster”), which, in return, makes me feel like a monster for making her feel that way.
this song... i cant even begin to describe what it’s done for me. thank you, mother mother, for reminding me i’m not a monster.
I wish I could tell my mother everything but im scared to even think About what she'll do to me if she knows
stay strong 😔❤️
@@pumpkinsluut I agree with what u have to say but your name...
hello dear i am completely shocked by this story
I'm 13 and I understand you completely! these days my parents saw my cell phone and saw that I was completely different from what I was for them ... because of that I spent a week without a cell phone
I wish you the best of luck with your mother! I hope she understands you like me and several people.
Hey, uh, it’s been a month. You holding up alright?
I stumbled upon this song while I was sobbing, contemplating offing myself. Every bone in my body ached, and I accidentally clicked on this. It calmed me down and put a smile on my face.. No song has ever done that.
Thank you, so much.
i hope you’re doing okay.
Mother Mother is pretty much therapy and your ideal parents combined. It's nice!
I'm so glad that God sent this song your way. So happy for you that you decided to stay. I hope things get better for you :')

I love the parallels between the lyrics, the many faces and folks we see on screen, and the color grading reflecting and showing growth and acceptance with oneself. No matter who you are, what you've been through, and what folks may think of you, it's alright.
Juan Rubio Until I saw your post, I didn’t notice this aspect of the video. Thank you!
This song gave me the cry I so desperately needed to have.
"You're not a demon, there's a reason you behaved in that way."
Oh my god exactly! I feel you so hard rn
I’ve been suffering with an auto immune disease for the last 5 years and lost my colon to it last year. This song has gotten me through so many tough times. I remember just listening to it on repeat in my hospital bed for days on end.
How are you doing now?I hope your doing better^^
@@randomdoodlesstudios9215 you're*
The first time I listened to this song i had a mental breakdown.
It’s honestly the only song I’ve heard that lets me put down my guard and go get help. Go cry to my friends instead of alone. Try again with my mother instead of hiding. I’ve been struggling with so many issues, I’ve been cutting and skipping meals and locking myself in my room whenever i could. I couldn’t *breath* in her house, where my mum is either not there and shutting me out or controlling me like a puppet. One day I was on my iPad again and I got recommended this. I was feeling so alone, but this song makes me feel like that each mistake I’ve made can be fixed. That I can be fixed.
I now listen to this on repeat when I’m thinking about cutting or suicide again, and its the best I can get, and the best someone I dont know has ever given me.
thank you for being here, i'm proud of you. you're so strong and everything is gonna be okay. you're not alone.
@greatp4rty
thank you 😊
Really hope you're doing okay now, I know how you feel and I'm so proud of you for sticking around. It's the hardest thing you can ever do, really.
I know that things will get bettter, my friend. No matter what, there will always be people, like me, who love you (and I don't even know you!) Stay strong and carry on!
Stay strong❤. One day, this will all end. I promise. Like a ray of sunshine, happiness will come and erase all this🌻.
2:10
I started to cry at that exact moment. I don't know if it is because of Ryan singing it or because it is used in first person, used a way that is not someone taking to you, but you to yourself. Some statements that you don't believe, that you think it's a complete lie, but it seems like it coming through your throat non-stop, trying to make you know something you never even thought about. Damn...
I cried watching it too. This song really calms me down and means a lot to me. It just reminds me that its ok, to not be ok all the time.
@@mentalloner675 this made me teer and same
You said exactly how I felt.
Amen...
Indeed. That part really hits you. This is artistry on another level!
People need to use this song in more things about mental health and accepting yourself. It's so perfect! Like, it reminds people that they may have mental health struggles but are still worthy of having a life like everyone else.
As someone who struggles with several mental illnesses, this really brings me comfort.
In your own words, how is this music comforting to you?
Hey it’s me 2:05 . I just wanted to say that being a part of this was so much fun and I’m so grateful for the opportunity .The video looks fantastic. You guys have inspired me throughout my life and I just really want to say thank you for everything ❤️

I love your hair style
this is my 2019 anthem, we've been self-deprecating long enough, it's time to heal and love ourselves
edit: "this aged poorly!!" absolutely not. i may be living in a dystopian hellscape, but that doesn't mean i'm giving up. at the end of 2018, i made a promise to the people i love that i was gonna stop being a bastard to myself. i started therapy, i stopped hurting myself, i got medicated, i educated myself, and i'm more willing to fight than ever. the present moment sucks, but it's been that way for so long. we've been cheated, manipulated, taken advantage of, exploited, and fucking murdered in the streets for generations, by the lackeys of rich assholes who benefit most from this horrific status quo. but here's the thing: there will ALWAYS be more of us than there are billionaires and cops.
loving myself is something i have to choose to do every day, and only one piece of that is forgiveness. it's almost never easy, but it's less difficult to forgive myself when i do something else you're supposed to do for someone you love: stand up for them. when you stand up for yourself, you tell someone else "i don't deserve to be treated this way," and soon you start to believe it. the people who benefit from our complacency also benefit from us hating ourselves, from us believing that the way things are is what we deserve, from our lack of demand for change. i can't tell you how much i wish i wasn't living in a time period i'll see in my grandkid's history books, life fucking sucks right now. but we RECOGNIZE how bad this is, we KNOW we can do better for ourselves and one another.
look at how you talk to yourself and ask if you'd do that to anyone else. you have every bad thing you've ever done to guilt yourself with, every awful memory you replay over and over in your head, and you're using all that ammo against the one person you're stuck with for the rest of your life? the biggest thing that helped me stop hurting myself like that was the realization that my brother felt the exact same way about himself. i know he's wrong, he's a wonderful person who's earned every good thing he's got, and if he's wrong about himself, maybe i'm wrong about me.
all of these things, promising others i'd change, recognizing a need for collective justice, and understanding what fucking bullies we are to ourselves; all of this fuels me, even on my worst days, to never give up. 2020 is a horrifying fucking year, but if you see how bad this is, you know that you and the people you love deserve a better world to live in. maybe you also deserve a better voice in the back of your head, one that doesn't tell you to kill yourself all the time. two years ago, i wouldn't have believed that, but two years can be a long time to spend working on you.
TL;DR: stop replying to this comment and get some goddamn help.
Yea same, it's so good i can't help but feel positive when listening to it :)
hell yeah it is
Say it LOUDER for the people in the back. And I completely agree.
How do you stop deprecating? (Whatever that word is)
Yes just yes
Mother Mother has helped me in EVERY way possible...
I am a lesbian and I sometimes get scared what my parents would do id they find out...
I've had A LOT of fights with them and well this song reminds me I am not a monster or a bad person...
THANK YOU MOTHER MOTHER YOU MAKE ME FEEL SAFE
this is exactly how i feel but pan for me
I have really bad OCD and with it comes extreme guilt and fear. There were times where my OCD truly had me convinced I was a monster, and If I’m being honest, it still happens sometimes. I’ve heard this song before and really liked it, but hearing it after going through my trauma made me cry. The lyrics to this song are so relatable and comforting to me. I’m glad this song helps so many other people as well :)
No but
Near the end, despite syncing for the entire song, Ryan closes his mouth for the vocals.
He isn't singing.
Hope is singing, and everyone is just singing along.
This touched me especially, because it's like he's still struggling to say he's alright. Extremely powerful.
dang...
By that point I was mouthing the words to myself. When he didn't sing I was struck. It's a really powerful moment in an amazing video to accompany this beautiful song
Auunhwwwwww
Mother mother has to be one of the FEW artists where nearly every song is amazing! Not the pop artists with 2 or 3 good songs. Every damn album is a banger. ❤️❤️
For real.
Don't use bad words!
So true. Every song is awesome. And unlike other bands MM just gets better and better. Can't wait for LP8. You know it's gonna be another epic album. 👍
@@chasecarter2334 its the internet no one cares 😃
I have intrusive thoughts, depression and pure OCD and this song is so unbelievably comforting. Thankyou.
Let me say, “you’re not a demon, there’s a reason you behaved in that way” hits wayy too close every single time
Lyrics for anyone who wants them!
Oh, It's alright, oh
Oh hey, I had a night I had a day
I did one million stupid things
I said one billion foolish things
I'm not okay, I got a baseball bat beside my bed
To fight off what's inside my head
The fight off what's behind my meds
I'm lonely; lost in pain
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a monster, just a human
And you made a few mistakes
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not gruesome, just human
And you made a few mistakes
It's alright
Ooh, it's okay
Ooh, it's alright
Ooh
Goddamn
I throw a brick right through the window
My life ignored the signals
I'm high and drunk on ego, can't see straight
So I just feel my way around man
I'm touching and I'm grabbing
Everything I can't be havin'
I am broken down in shame
It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a demon, there's a reason
You're behaving that way
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
And I believe, yes I believe that you will see a better day
It's alright
Ooh, it's okay
Ooh, it's alright
Ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah
I don't wanna know who I am
'Cause heaven only knows what I find
I don't wanna know I'm not capable
Of coming out alive
I don't wanna see what's inside
I think that I would rather be blind
I don't wanna know I'm not capable, I'm capable
I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay
I'm not a monster, I'm a human
And I made a few mistakes
I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay
I'm not gruesome, just human
And I made a few
It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a demon, there's a reason
You're behaving that way
It's alright
Ooh, it's okay
Ooh, it's alright
Ooh
I believe, yes I believe that you will see a better day
It's alright
• Pasteldark • bless your soul
Thank you I actually thought they were speaking Spanish
THANK YOU
• Pasteldark • THANK YOU
Thanks but there’s captions
I just wanted to say "thank you for this song". Simply hearing "It's alright" is helping me a lot. Thank you so much.
This song feels like the audio equivalent of a long hug. I've been listening to it on repeat for three days now.
"Youre not a demon, theres a reason, you behaved in that way" especially hits hard
That seems to be a common comparison. "A warm hug"
I first listened to this song within a week of finding out that I'm autistic. My parents never told me and they just let me believe that I was socially dumb or something and that everytime I failed to socialize with people and make friends it was just my fault. There were maybe only two songs in the world that could make me cry when I listened to them, but this is the first song that I _connected_ with. I just happened to hear it for the first time when I really needed it. Thank you.
This is definitely more than alright ok? THIS IS BETTER THAN THE DRUGS I USED TO LOVE!
I dont know whether to be proud or cringe
glaze lol those are lyrics from another one of their songs
Haha amazing
*uwu intensifies*
Miruku - Chan kawaii OWO
Why is this band so underrated? I just don't understand. They deserve so much more recognition, I've cried at so many of their songs..they make me feel so much better. They deserve so much more 😭
I know! Its criminal, especially this song!
Please tell me im not the only one who's crying while listening to any of mother mother songs
Nope. Not just you. I'm welling up as I type.
You are ABSOLUTELY not alone. In that or anything else.
why pay for therapy when you can listen to this song on repeat :)
I can’t listen to this video without crying
Same doin it rn :')
As someone who has been told to my face that I was "the dark spot in someone's life" this song is beautiful. I screwed up and in doing so burned bridges. But I'm human, and I'm gonna screw up. Not that it makes what I did okay, but that I am allowed to not be that person anymore or let that person hold me down and keep me in the dark. And I refuse to be told otherwise.
In May, I found this song and then the next day my cat got ran over right in front of my house. I listened to this song everyday for months to cope. It seems strange for a grieving song, but the continuous mantra of “it’s alright, it’s ok” was a voice of reason when my mind wouldn’t stop replaying the scene in my head. Thanks for being there for me, Mother Mother ❤️
This song's feels like a hug. A big warm hug. Mother Mother is really the "Mom" to their fans. Love you guys a lot.
You have a point. It really makes you feel warm and cozy.
it's sad how underrated this song is
this feels like a hug
This is unironically the most effective coping mechanism I have ever retained in all my years worth of therapy
Sometimes I feel like the world just doesn't understand me and I get overwhelmed,
"You're not a demon, there's reason, you behaved in that way" is enough to put tears in my eyes
Me too. Every line of this song sank deeply into my soul and helped me forgive myself for saying stupid things (which seems to be something I do way too often).
I’ve never hit anything so fast in my life!
-my dad when i bring a horrible grade back home
Me neither
What about when you hit that car
besides my meat
I’ve been hospitalized twice now. Just recovered again from suicidal thoughts and self-harming and now I’m back listening to this song more than I ever have listened to any other😭😍🌹🦋🖤❤️
I love you.
Whoever reads this, you are important, you are smart you are talented what you feel and what you think matters you are lovable, you deserve peace and happiness
this song makes me so safe and comforted because sometimes all you need to hear is "everything is going to be okay" and hearing from someone just takes the pain away and gives you strength to fight for yourself more.
who's watching this in 2020. COVID-19 is killing us, it's alright.
New fav song. Stay Safe everyone
This song is truly the best medicine anyone could ask for.
im just here to hear the " its alright its ok your not a monster" makes me feel calm and being ready to smile again
songs like this hit different when you hate yourself as a person
HOLD UP
wait
Rosie, you don't hate yourself do you? That would make me pretty sad..I don't know you but like..I don't like it when people do crazy stuff that I don't know. It's really frightening to me and I feel so sad that it happens so often. Can I maybe suggest one little thing of advice if that is actually an issue for you?
Stop hating yourself. I did. For once in my life I love life. So you know. Take that into consideration, ok? I hope you have a better life soon. I think you will.
OK BYE
Oh shit..this was 3 years ago..I hope you're ok out there
The guy with the pink hair. He reminds me there is still beauty in this world...
He is a really good guy. Hes my friend. I was in the video too. But you can find his awesome photos at instagram. Hes one hell of a good guy. @bebraveimages
that's me and thanks ♡ there absolutely is.
I've been listening to this for years, but today, it humanized me to myself. I've gone most of my life thinking I have had to be perfect and that if I wasn't special I was worthless, I've lied, I've hurt, I've been the bad guy rightfully. But This song is helping me realize that I am allowed to forgive myself and move on. So thank you Mother Mother you have helped a 16-year-old more than you could ever know.
That's so deep. I didn't push play just yet, so I'm just getting myself all hype to listen. I look forward to see the meanings you have in mind if you are willing to share anyway. If not, I hope you have a wonderful existence.
@@hongodelaluna9054 Thank you, This song has such a powerful meaning to it, for me it's about taking the mistakes you have made in your past no matter how long ago, and taking that realizing you did something wrong taking the lesson from it, and moving on and realizing you are a person and it's okay to make mistakes. As we grow older a lot of people think that at some point you have to know how to do everything and that you cant make a mistake anymore, but we are all human no matter how old we grow we will never know everything and there is always a lesson to learn and we have to make mistakes to learn anything, and the song kind of tells people that it is okay to make mistakes and that there is always a reason for every dicision anyone makes, the line "theres a reason you behaved in that way" really shows that, I bullied people in the past, I regret it deeply, but I had a reason, I hurt people because I was being hurt, that doesnt make it okay by any means but there is always a reason. I adore mother mother because they always cary an amazing lesson in there songs
in the middle of a meltdown. this song is REALLY helping
The shift to actively grabbing and internalizing to the good voices is spectacular. I am a therapist and use this song with clients... and to remind myself of hope and healing.
This makes me so ashamed of my borderline personality disorder but also so comforted I'm gonna cry-
I just got off the phone with someone who just shit talked me for sleeping with someone with no strings attached while I’m single, I kinda needed to remind myself I’m not the monster everyone thinks I am. Thank you for writing this
“I’m alright, I’m okay, I’m not gruesome, just human, and I made a few mistakes.”
As long as everybody involved is a consenting adult nobody's got the right to slam you for having sex. It definitely doesn't make you a monster
Exactly. What Nicole said.
and it’s definitely not a mistake, you are perfectly allowed no-strings-attached sex while you’re single! as long as everybody involved is a consenting adult, as Nicole said. you didn’t make a mistake and you didn’t deserved to be shamed, i can only imagine how something like that would feel because sex can be so personal.
On all 14 years of my life I'm not sure anyone has ever to be "Its going to be okay". Its always "Stop crying".
It's gonna be ok. I promise.
Don't lie, you've cried to this song multiple times. It's okay, everything's gonna get better. Maybe not tommorrow, maybe not in a week, maybe not in a year, but it will get better.
Thanks 😊
Everytime I hear this song I think of my dad. I hope he hears this someday. There's episodes when I don't hear from him in months. Then I get a call that he's in a mental hospital or in ER. At times Im so scared that he won't call me back again. I just want him to know that I don't blame him for anything. Rn it has been months since I've heard from him.
I'm in tears. Seeing everyone's face and seeing their emotions. Seeing them over come their fears and overcoming everything. I'm so proud of them. Just remember everything will be alright. It'll get better.
It's 5:30 in the morning even though i wanted to sleep in. I had an awful nightmare that made me wonder if panic attack dreams are a thing. It's a type of dream that has happened before and probably will happen again, but it's never been this bad yet. It always ends with me hopelessly sobbing on the floor trying to beg for help with no words coming out, only for me to awake in my bed, sweaty and out of breath.
I drink some tea, try to cope, and see if i even want to try to go back to sleep.
I remembered this song was out there, i really appreciate it. I'll probably be coping for another half an hour and decide not to go to bed again, so thank you for keeping me company with this song.
This is very soothing for my villain complex and trauma
I love how much emotions this song has. The fact there is multiple person shown demonstrates how common it is to feel you are not good enough and that you are monstrous. And it also shows how people can overcome these feelings and it is alright to have these thoughts. You are not alone.
Meanwhile:
*_”I W e a R w O M e N ‘ S u N D E r w E a R”_*
mother mother has fucking BOPS that actually have MEANING, isnt it amazing? that song is actually about toxic masculinity. i know all the lyrics, and i love that song so much!
sob
Suppose you could say they’re mother motherfucking bops?
@@thatlemonguy1107 lmao but they are actually great and very underrated.
i loooove the fact that this song doesnt have a huge swell, its not that its soft its just calm enough to really be soothing
"You're not a demon, theres a reason you behaved in that way"
I wish more people would realize that sometimes anger is a response to pain. for some people, if they feel like someone close to them has betrayed them, they might be more likely to lash out and do or say things they shouldn't. sometimes people feel so much pain they have to change it into something else so they don’t fall apart.
I sang this in my school's talent show and I came 3rd :)
This song always helps me whenever I'm having a panic attack, or mental breakdown. It has even helped me through a gigantic break-up. I would just like to say thanks, and I hope everyone has an amazing day.
For anyone that needs to hear this... It's ok, you're ok, just like the song says, you will see a better day
This is the song I listen to while calming myself down during a ptsd episode, and it's the only thing that can soothe me. Thank you, Mother Mother.
I’m a 49 year old man ..and tears are streaming down my cheeks ....this song is like medicine , that my heart needed !
If you cry as you listen, just let it out... you need to.. scream and shout the lyrics.. its alright, its ok. Thanks mother mother.
I like how there is a kid, Its tough to realize cause its sad, but kids go through things too, Lmao im a kid going through stuff, hahaha, humans go through things
Life go through things, haha, tree came from a seed i guess
I just needed it. . . The simple " it's alright, it's ok" I'm crying, shit, and her stare at 1:25, it was so comforting that started even more crying
I just want to say thank you so much. You'll probably never see this comment but that's alright. I just want you to know how many lives you've touched. This song has saved lives, its my comfort song for when I'm not okay
i like how throughout the video the color starts showing and becomes so much saturated. a nice little feature :)
this song gives me shivers
same
not this making me cry cuz it’s so nice for someone to say this
