- Little Person by Jon Brion
I'm just a little person.
One person in a sea.
Of many little people.
Who are not aware of me.
I do my little job.
And live my little life.
Eat my little meals.
Miss my little kid and wife.
And somewhere maybe someday.
Maybe somewhere far away.
I'll find a second little person.
Who will look at me and say.
I know you.
You're the one I've waited for.
Let's have some fun.
Life is precious.
Every minute.
And more precious with you in it.
So let's have some fun.
We'll take a road trip.
Way out West.
You're the one.
I like the best.
I'm glad I found you.
Like hanging round you.
You're the one.
I like the best.
Somewhere maybe someday.
Maybe somewhere far away.
Somewhere maybe someday.
Maybe somewhere far away.
Somewhere maybe someday.
Maybe somewhere far away.
I'll meet a second little person.
And we'll go out and play.

I once read an opinion as to why this movie didn't succeed in Hollywood, the user claimed that it was because this movie symbolizes everything people are trying to avoid BY going to the movies.
This was probably the most influential piece of cinema I've ever had the pleasure of wintessing, and I watched it, most likely, at the most pivotal period of my life.
Thats most likely the case, but also because it was only in 100 theaters,
Everytime you see it, it is the most pivotal period of your life, isnt it?
fish'nchipz productions well that’s probably why it didn’t make a lot of money but critically and buzz about the film was apparently very poor, and I think this is exactly why it doesn’t get the proper attention it deserves
RonMD the fact that list with the best Phillip Seymour Hoffman performances never include this movie is a testament to how underrated this film is
You know for a while I felt like I was alone, and I’m so grateful for your comment. I needed to know other people also saw that this was the kind of film that comes around once a generation. I don’t even know why or how, but this movie has impacted my life in ways I’m still piecing together. Thank you all so much. Thank you!
"An actor is only pretending to be at the end of a life full of despair. The tragedy is that we know that the young actor will also end up in this very place of desolation" - Caden Cotard / Philip Seymour Hoffman.
/Charlie Kaufman
The actor playing Willie Loman in Death of A Salesman.
That line stung 100x harder when I watched the film right after PSH passed away
That line hit me pretty hard, knowing how Phillip Seymours Life ended. And being someone who struggled with serious substance abuse for over a decade.
@@westcoastogee585 Sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing ok now.
This movie completely wrecked me. You will never ever forget this film after seeing it. RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman.
At least he was really high when he died. Hopefully he didn't know that he was dying. But regardless he would have to die some day or another. He would be forced to go through the final stages of the human experience.

"I'm not afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens."
Now, what's this tasteful postmodern tune doing inside a tasteful postmodern drama inside my tasteful postmodern drama?
oh
This is a highly underrated comment.
@@Brandon-tj5sk so tru. Literally the defining characteristics of postmodernism is being 'meta' and self awareness. This joke basically makes a farce of that
Why, it's just like a turducken!
And you may tell yourself: this is not my postmodern house, this is not my postmodern wife!
my mind didn't completely understand the movie but something inside me did,am I the only person that feels this way
No you are not
Excellent way of putting it. I feel the same.
I think that no one is going ro completely understand the movie. It's simply impossible. What makes this movie so great is that it changes everytime you watch it, because you're a different person, which is what charlie kaufman was going for when he made the film. But I think the main theme is about missing opportunities and the truth about life itself.
@@Honkstonksuperstoker Yes, I agree. I think a lot of the movie is also about being obsessed with how you're losing all the finite moments of your life and obsessing over this, ironically losing a lot of the precious time that you're worried about losing by worrying about losing that same time. It's a feedback loop, it's meta, it's recursive, whatever. But that's just my opinion, my 2 cents.
its like he pulled out a truth from within all of us
The way she says "I know you" kills me
She waited, right when you need the surprise of what she is going to say next, she says it...."i know you"
and in the movie as well! It gives me chills everytime
Yeah
totaly. it hits me so hard. that's what all we truly want
I love how Charlie Kaufman just makes film that he wants. The studio KNEW it wasn't gonna be this mainstream money bringing thing but it was Charlie Kaufman, and they knew they were helping him create something incredible. He did.
Hiring Hoffman didn’t hurt either.
For an art film this is very well known honestly
@@olzhas1one755 not really no
I think the meaning of the film is simple - an intelligent person, after a deep destructive trauma, goes into the construction of his deep, complex inner world, and tries to establish peace and order in it. but in the end it dies without reaching it, that if psychotherapy is an empty lie, and something should stay with you forever.
Absolutely Love this movie, I’m 31
What is this movie about? i like this song very much
Knowing that you don't know is the first and most essential step to knowing, you know?
Jakob Kolness I don't know
I like to describe this movie as an existential horror film. All of your deep-seated fears and insecurities about life come crashing on you through Caden. There's obviously more going on here, but it's usually what I tell people when recommending, so as to not spoil any of the interpretable content
thats what jonze and kaufman originally set out to write, until charlie took the script more into his own hands and developed it more around his own life. jonze left the production to work on where the wild things are, and charlie made the best film of the decade
Existential horror movie, huh? Interesting. My guess is that the primary emotion the film evokes in the viewer ends up being the interpreted genre- if it depresses you, you’ll see it as a drama, if it scares you to your core you’ll see it as existential horror, or (like me) if your takeaway is that we have a chance to learn from Caden’s folly you might see it (as I do) as absurdist black comedy.
I watched this film seven times in the theatre and almost two dozen times in the last decade. The second time I watched it was in the showing immediately after my first viewing- the only time I’ve ever felt compelled to buy another ticket and walk right back into a movie. I tend to describe it to people as a poignant, absurdist black comedy.
I think the burning house scene is some pure existential Horror!
I thought it was a positive film in a weird way, although it brings up a lot of insecurities, I got the feeling especially at the end that though you may feel alone in your insecurities you are not. Everyone's in a different boat but dealing with the same storm
i am thinking on the ending things could fit in that description too
About 2/3rds way through this movie, I said to myself, "This film is really unenjoyable. I don't get why it's so critically acclaimed."
At the end of the movie, I listened to this entire song, cried for about fifteen minutes, and then gave it a 10/10 on Imdb.
❤
💀
Sounds about right. This movie breaks my heart open every time
I watched it last night because of this song that I been listening to for so long, I promised myself I'll complete the movie no matter what, at the end I was just broken.
❤
None of us have much time.
Maestro Gee So spend every moment doing 360 noscopes and drinking mountain dew.
Blahcub i fucking hate you people
matthew baker It's a joke man. :) "Us People" satirize it and over exaggerate it. I'm sorry that you don't get the joke, I guess only a community of people find it funny. :(
If it's anything to you, Synecdouche Newyork is my favorite film and really want to play this song, so it's not like I'm just an idiot, just another person like you.
Blahcub it's not that "i don't get it". it wasn't funny! you don't joke about a movie like this!
matthew baker Different strokes for different folks.
Y'know... I still need to see Synecdoche, New York... but this song strikes a huge chord with me for one reason alone.
My girlfriend, she's a huge cinephile like myself, and has seen this film. We're on opposite sides of the country, so to say, as she lives in california and I live in Texas. That's right, one of THOSE relationships. And we've still never met each other in the flesh, but we love each other all the same. One day, she sent me this song, and I fell in love with it on the spot. And, it constantly lurked with us. I remember clearly, when she sent me a letter (which I accidentally lost... cause I'm a genius like that...), at the very top, she wrote "Live is precious, every minute, and more precious with you in it, so let's have some fun".
Cut to last week, and unfortunately we have lost contact with each other due to a snafu with internet providers, and she and I shared one last video call with each other after what seemed to me to be a very stressful day full of many defeats and problems. We looked at each other, and we were both at a loss for words. What could we say, in only a few minutes left before she had to leave for god knows how long? So... I started singing this song. After a few verses, she joined in, and we spent the last 3 minutes together singing "Little Person" together. Her eyes were flowing, as she said with her voice cracking "I love you..." and the feed cut out.
I know it seems pointless, and hell, maybe her internet will come back soon, but when I hear this song, I don't see Philip Seymour Hoffman, I see my girlfriend, and the tears in her eyes on that call, the last time I saw her, and just keep holding out hope that I get to see her again. The fact that one song can evoke such an emotional reaction to me, and can bring me to tears every time (hell, I started crying as I was writing this), I have to give my thanks to Jon Brion.
I apologize for the long comment, but I wanted to share my personal experience with this lovely tune.
I have some bad news for you about this song and the connotation behind it within the film, if you haven't seen Synedoche yet by now.
I can strongly relate. I've been in those type of relationships before. I hope you and your girlfriend can find happiness. If not with each other due to distance and finances, then with your own little people who can make you feel the desire to go out, play, and have fun.
+joshboy64 Don't forget her. If you have her address, send letters back. Because if you lose that relationship, there'll be an emptiness you couldn't fill.
joshboy64 alright now i want an update on this relationship! How is it going????
oh shit man she probably cheated on you
Nick Nack now thats not the attitude
The first time I watched this movie I felt sad because it reminded me I'm going to die. The second time I watched it, I felt uplifted because I know I'm going to die. It's like lifting a weight off yourself.
Gelatinous Joe what film?
@@danielhaumer2819 Synecdoche, New York. A Charlie Kaufman movie. It's really good, it has Philip Seymour Hoffman in it, before he passed away, of course. I highly recommend it, a really cool movie!
Don't forget guys- "most of your time is spent being dead, or not yet born!"
What makes this movie so powerful is that at the end of the day, there's no concrete message as to what it's all about. So many books and movies and TV shows approach the big topics like mortality, religion, or politics, and confidently put forward their answer as if it were a simple question. Synecdoche reminds us of the truth: we don't have any answers. 7 Billion people and not one person can definitively tell you who you are or why you're here, merely giving their best guess and hoping that can satisfy you. This movie lays bare the deepest fears and regrets that people don't want to think about, that each and every one of us will be dead before we understand our purpose in this world, if there is one. Can you accept that or not? Does it matter?
I love your comment. Yes I totally agree. That's what makes this movie such a rare masterpiece. It's deeply existential, yet also realistic and not afraid to show the harsh truth & reality about our finite mortal life & existence.
- from Indonesia -
amen!
Perfectly, and so poetically well put.
There is purpose, obviously. Better to find it now than wait, cause you'll die eventually.
Rest in peace Phillip.
Rest in peace Marcelo.
This movie saved me again today
Joey, are you okay?
@@TheAncientColossus is anybody?
But more or less, yeah. I’m coasting across a plateau of brain and heart activity with a hailstorm in the sails.
How about you?
Hey, its been a while. You alright?
I just recently came across this song 2 days after my 13 year old dog died. I asked Spotify to play me happy music. Damn Spotify. I bawled my eyes out.
This song reminded me of the day I first met my dog at the SPCA, that furry second "little person" who seemed to say:
I know you,
You're the one
I've waited for.
This song breaks my heart...
One of the best films I've seen.
dreamy dripping !!
I didn't honestly know how much the movie had affected me until I listen to this track when the credits rolled. I didn't cry during the film, but on the credits.
In a way, it feels like what they wanted to convey. I got so into it the final minutes that I forgot that it had to have an end. Just like life. And maybe in life, you too get the hang of it when it's already too late. The realization that it "had" indeed ended was the gut punch. It brought every theme full circle. And it made me realize that we might never be ready for death.
That is, in its own way, reassuring. I don't know why. Maybe because I know everyone is scared of it too. I'm everyone, and everyone is me. That's the big takeaway. Or maybe not. This movie is obviously about a ton of different things at the same time. And about one thing: Everything.
Synecdoche. They actually got the name right, Goddamnit
Of all the things this movie is about, it stroke me the most that it is about how some connections we waste, and they never come back, so we try to find replacements. Substitutes. We look for people who remind us of those transient connections we once had. And in doing so we waste the present we still have. And the cycle repeats. Endlessly. Why do we never learn?
I had the same exact experience
So many parallels between this movie and the novel IAN NEMEVARY. I wonder if the former influenced the latter. In any event, I highly recommend that book to all Charlie Kaufman fans, and hope that one day he makes a movie based on it.
@@stevenconifer2676aren’t you the author?
Such a Chet Baker feel.
Not wrong Charles ;)
This makes me cry a little. Maybe it's because I spend endless hours by myself on a computer feeling that I am always going to be alone from here on end and my stoic behavior keeps me from having close friends. I do know at the end, none of them are truly someone who fully understood why I act the way I do because everyone moves on with their lives and I am left with mine. But I guess that's just the harsh part of living.
Indeed. Friendships are rarely eternal, they evolve, and usually fades away.
+Rasheed Thomas Oh man...you had to go there.
+Marius Periwinkle Most, yes, but not all. Some people do remain friends for the rest of their lives.
+Rasheed Thomas Right there with you.
+Rasheed Thomas All you can do is work on yourself.
This song is actually sadder than it appears to be in surface. Everything is small to him, INCLUDING his feelings towards the family. That means the only way he could find an island of happiness in the entire world would be through an affair.
you spell "happiness" with a y on purpose? because of the other movie with PSH?
***** Genuine mistake, already corrected. Haven't watch Happiness yet, is it good?
abreufortaleza The movie is spelled "Happyness", but I haven't seen it. I know PSH is in it as a creepy pervert that has very aggressive phone sex.
Ah, I see, my bad.
***** I know that, chap. Just trying to show people who haven't watched the film yet that this song is not that "cute", as someone said down here. I know that everything turns smaller and smaller because of so many horrors and the proximity of death, I know the "little persons", feelings, etc., are fought with the gigantic works of Caden. Is just that this is too much for those that still don't know! Also, I believe that a piece of art, when experienced separately, should also be criticized separately! That's why I didn't comment much about the plot.
i want this at both my wedding and funeral.
This song shows how much work Charlie puts into his films, he not just made a song but made a REALLY freakin good song.
to give credit to jon brion i think charlie only really wrote the lyrics. they are good though.
If I ever get married im going to play this, I'm going to look in his eyes and say "I know you, you're the one I waited for"
This is the most hauntingly beautiful song.
My sentiments exactly.
It's that inexpressible, poignant moment of knowing an unobtainable love is all you wish, surprisingly expressed. In a tune. Harmonic heartbreak.
This movie was probably the only one that ever made me feel anything.
I've just watched this movie again. I can see why people praise it as a masterpiece, which it is. It's beautifully tragic, and feels deeply existential. It's sad that we don't have this type of movie anymore today.
- from Indonesia -
gentle reminder; we are all hurtling towards death, no one will ever "make you whole", everyone you love or care about will die or slowly grow apart from you until you become strangers
As my own special person heads into strangeness, I will follow and be strange to this world, myself. Not only hurtling towards death are we, but carrying it within us. This way, death is strange only for those who fail to know that it is already part of who we are.
Absolutely fantastic nobodady1, thank you.
Well that's cheery
This is a movie everyone should see, just to get an idea of how not to go about living your life, in perpetual sadness and an endless search for what you think will make you happy. Nothing life offers you is promised, so don't throw all your chips onto one number. Live for tomorrow, but don't double down on the woman you love still loving you in 20 years, or still being alive, or wanting to even see your face again. Be fearless, but don't micro-manage and delay your dreams until you're "ready" and whole, otherwise, you'll accomplish nothing.
R
It may sound stupid but this movie helped me see who I was. A sad loser waiting for things that would make me happy. I thought when I got where I wanted. I would be happy but I could never get there. So I decided to pretend to be happy. Fake it for my kids, and my wife. One day I woke up and was actually happy. Really happy for the first time since I was a kid. As far a I'm concerned. This movie is the best therapy I've ever had.
Thank you Charlie Kaufman, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, and everybody else that made this movie
I saw this three times in the theater. Each time it was so haunting and damaging… I was 24. I thought I understood aging and disappointment then. It’s been over ten years and I understand it a lot more…. But this movie will become more and more enduring with each viewing. It is the human condition. Being and nothingness.
Not gonna lie, the movie, along with this song left a feeling in me that I've never experienced with any other movie.
life is precious, every minute; and more precious with you, innit?
+zer o I'm a Blackstar!
Just watched the movie.
Never cried harder in my life.
This is a beautiful piece of art.
Thank You.
His death still hurts, guys
God, I still haven't watched the movie... You ruined it all dammit ! :(
MofoesTeamPresents you do wrong in searching any sort of content of a movie before watching it, let alone the section where people comment about it.
MofoesTeamPresents Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Not Caden Cotard.
John Upton I'm sure this dude was trolling
Daniel Rauch it is tragically ironic that the last movie he stared in was about having to cope with your own death
I love this song so much, and it breaks my heart to listen to it now.
This song was used as a place holder the credits of a friends game (the beginners guide - it's a fantastic game), which was very special. I lived in sweden for 2 months in the remote swedish woods with 20 other games developers, found a simmilar soul, showed him this game, that ended with this song. I felt like that little person who found the second little person, and I believe he did too. An intense relationship. The song, with the exception of missing little kid and wife, and, replace the west in road trip with north, aligns our time together perfectly . We used to sing it together by the lake.
What I love about the movie is that it gives perspective on life. There's so much in there, so much of things that I'm struggling with now (validation, love, acceptance), coming and going. He fell out of love as quickly as he fell in, while my love for him only grew. I haven't fell harder for someone then him. Never has a movie described perfectly such uneven love - which is I guess is what I'm experiencing now. I guess I can only hope to be like Hazel rather then Caden, and maybe one day people will come back into your life for whatever reason. It's a sobering thought.
I don't really know why I'm writing this on such a public site. Maybe I secretly hope that he'll think of me, and look at this song. And see this comment. I think he's moved on, but, he'll always have a place in my heart. I hope we can one day meet again when we're both emotionally ready to give it a better go.
If do read this: I hope you have a good life, find someone who makes you as happy as you made me. Find another second little person. I'll try and do the same. Call me one time if you see this. But if ever you want me, my door is always open to you, no matter how much you think you hurt me. Thank you for what we had.
... You genuinely made me cry. Thank you.
+Izzy Gramp I feel you on a whole different level right now. This makes me feel better strangely. Thank you.
PS Also, I've been waiting to get The Beginners Guide since I played The Stanley Parable - amazing game.
that's a beautiful story
I feel like that about right now with a girl I know but she doesnt seem interested in me anymore
Hi, I am that guy. Thanks.
Just kidding.
Jon brion is amazing composer!!!!
I just saw this film, I've always loved Charlie Kaufman. Eternal Sunshine is my favourite film of all time, ever.
When this song came on, I cried my eyes out. I cried probably the hardest I've cried in years. This film really meant something to me and I can't explain why,
I'm a 21 year old male and this song broke my heart.
It inspires me to work to create myself. I feel stupid writing this, but it doesn't matter, because i'm noone willl know who i am here,
just another little person..
Same here 🤗 im 23 now
And now you're 35. How are you? Are you living a good life? :)
⭐
@@johnzee1724 yeah great! Had a great career on tv and behind the lens, now I'm a director in media with a wife to be. 😎👍 Still a nice song, haha
Theme song for the girl in your dreams you can't stop remembering
You too, huh?
watch Your Name
lament isn't simple, but sometimes it's all there is. this movie is legendary.
The setting in the movie, perfect. The song and the vocals like in a perfect place. Very beautiful song. Perfect song.
The movie... strange, but watchable.
Oh god Jon, you really outdid yourself here.
I love how this film shows a different meaning as you grow older and watch it again.
It weights more and more each time. You see details you didn't understand before. You see yourself more deeply each time you watch it.
It's my favorite movie hands down
One of the most ambitious fictional tales ever told.
I hope things get better.
I hope that things have gotten better for you after this comment.🌻 But I just wanted to say that your comment, in my opinion, is summing up the entire movie. :] because life is spent waiting and hoping for changes. Searching for better and getting lost while searching, so that we can't appreciate what is happening around us. And once we acknowledge that the better is already floating around-then we stop wishing for things and just experience it as is. And then we die. Thank you for making me think of these thoughts once again, and I truly wish you a wonderful day⭐
RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman. You will always be remembered as someone who was more then just a little person
The lyrics in this make me tear up. I can't help it.
The whole film is beautiful beyond comparison, and heartbreaking all at the same time.
I'm just a little comment.
A comment in a sea.
Of many little commenters.
Who are not aware of me.
Lol
Cheers
...and someday maybe somewhere on a channel I will see
...another little comment that is saying hi to me.
♥️♥️♥️
This song really does a good job at describing life, I wish more songs were like this
too perfect. g*dd*mn. crying bawling uncontrollably on floor.
love-love-love. PERFECT chords. PERFECT voice. PERFECT piano.
my GOD.
gets me. GETS me right in the heart.
k
i saw this film yesterday. it was intresting but i didnt get it. i watched it again today and now i can honestly say its my favorite movie at the moment. Beautofil film
what film please tell me the name i have forgott it
Synecdoche, New York
Kaufman es realmente un genio. Me toco muy adentro esta pelicula. Sin olvidar al otro genio de jon brion y su musica que nunca falla.
This is such a beautiful song that goes with an outstanding movie. Charlie Kaufman is the most amazing person ever.
I want this song to be in my wedding
I think it's interesting a female is singing the song, while the lyrics are representative of a male. Just an observation on Kaden's slight gender dilemma .
forlexer It's because everyone is everyone. It's the bitter second half of "I think therefore I am."
forlexer why did you spell caden with a k??
JamesofThames - Because I love spelling things wrong.
lies
+forlexer Never considered that aspect. Good on you.
So many parallels between this movie and the novel IAN NEMEVARY. I wonder if the former influenced the latter. In any event, I highly recommend that book to all Charlie Kaufman fans, and hope that one day he makes a movie based on it. Both are straight masterpieces.
Kaufman is a genius.
Just bought your book :) very excited to give it a read!!
My best friend die today, by the morning.
So... I must to heard this.
jon brion is a GOD. His lyrics are powerful and moving.He manages to capture the theme and characters motivations in whatever film he works on.This song is beautiful.
The lyrics are written by Charlie Kaufman (the writer/director of the movie)
This song brings me great comfort and satisfaction in being a little person. I even enjoy the sense of dignity in the tragedy of it all. Very good.
Bags of stories...each of us. Little Islands in a huge universe that's unending. . .the precious nature is that seemingly it doesn't last that long...and then we fade away.
Like fireflies.
Am I the only one that felt physically sick from watching this film? One of the most depressing, but also one of the most beautiful.
Am I the only one who thought this song was slightly hopeful? Sure, it dwells a lot on the insignificant subject of a human being in a vast, indifferent planet.
Yet, it then introduces a "second little person" - the wonder of human connection.
Albeit that, it is definitely a heartwrenching song. Especially in the context of the film.
Fun fact: this is sung by Caden's therapist :)
That's not true is it?
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and recorded. The breathy vocal full of soul, the delicate touch on the piano. Charlie Kaufman found his peak as a writer with this film, and Jon found his peak as a composer right there with him. Its heartache and longing wrapped up in wistful and affecting melancholy and it is about as perfect as it gets.
This song is too beautiful
This song takes on special meaning for me today, the day of Philip Seymour Hoffman's death. Rest in peace.
This song makes me feel nostalgic for the time I spent with the one I loved, who loved me back. The quiet moments when everything else fell away and I could see so clearly that, even though I am just one little person, I didn't need to be anything else. My love for her and her love for me was all that I needed, and I would be happy forever. Only those moments never happened. That time never existed in my life. And yet nostalgia is the most appropriate name for the feeling I get. I don't think I believe in past lives, but I don't know. Maybe there was or is another me, somewhere in time, in another universe, who had that love, those moments of clarity, where happiness and fulfillment were so present and so real. And somehow, this song, the music, other music like it, bridges the gap and I so briefly remember the happy life that another me lived. What it's like to love fully and be loved back, and want for nothing else.
WHOA lol I'm here all eyes tearing up thinking to myself 'jeez I dont remember this song being so sad and beautiful'.
This goddamned movie and song are so unbelievably life affirming for art that is so crushingly depressing. I’m so grateful.
one of the truly great songs.
One of the truly great Marcelos.
Thanks for this little gift Jon and Charlie. Beautiful.
As someone who's been criticized for writing songs that are too slow-paced, I'd say wow....that sure is one lazy river of a song. Fortunately it's really a beautiful melody, and very well sung with an arrangement that sounds just right. Now I have to listen again to find out if the lyrics are any good! Thx for sharing it JT.
Mark Brendan Hussey no hope for you
Which means what, Curby? As a Mets fan, I agree, there's no hope. But I don't think that's what you're referring to.
I'd say there's a lot more hope for me than you Curby. Because I'm not hiding, but you are. And you really don't have much that's original to say, do you? You merely make short cryptic comments randomly here and there, for what purpose nobody knows. But, I guess it's interesting in a way. Maybe there's a method to your madness--but only you can see the hidden agenda, if there is any at all. And if there is, I guess it gives you a feeling of power and superiority, in some weird way? And really.....if you really need to resort to that kind of character assassination crap, then--I guess there's really not a lot of hope for you, is there? I'd recommend you read Josh Ferris's new novel > TO ARISE AGAIN AT A DECENT HOUR. Good luck sir, or whatever you are.
This is the only song i'd wholeheartedly call haunting. What scares me the most is the aversion to the word love.
I have only seen this movie once. But the atmosphere of it is so massive, it returns vividly when I hear this song.
Oh, the blues, the blues...
It took me some time but when i got around to finally give it a go, I was electrified so much i watched it twice in a row. Of course its depressive. But it is so eloquent about life Vs creation and the space Philip Seymour Hoffman finally took with this blew me away. On my top ten short list of what contemporary cinema is about. I'm glad I am not the only one finding this "world" so attractive in its weirdness and difference. I felt both smart and a human being watching this. It is irritating at times but man the first watch was a rare thing.
PS : it is a "film monde". Something that echoes powerfully and brings its own life, its own version of our world. Not a lot of films achieve that. Shining does, The Godfather does, 2001 does, John Carpenter does. Films that you can watch and watch again and they still retain some mystery, some beauty : it is a fresh experience each time because it was so carefully done.
+Sylvain Thuret I feel the same way about it, and something to note is when you watch an interview of Charlie Kauffman (you may already know this) talking about the movie, he says one goal with it was to have the viewer have a different experience with each watch. It's almost intimidating how well he is able to do exactly what he set out to do.
i know the film is awesome... but i really just wanted the comments about this actual song..... me an my sister would get together and just cry and cry... i played this at her funeral.... i stll cant listen to it without crying. Just wanted to share......oh yeah this is Marilayne Millwood... lol hell would freezed over before Bruce would post something like this... he wouldnt even know how lol
I love this song. It always felt like she reached a certain level of awareness and became aware of how small she really is. How small we all our. Like she realized that her life was just a grain of sand on a endless beach compared to the vastness of not only other peoples stories but of Everything! So what does that make us as indiviuals? "Just a little person in a sea of many litte people who are not aware of me"
This movie was so depressing.
But honest.
XxRestlessGamerxX I don't consider things to be depressing if they aren't honest, so for me that goes without saying, yes.
WheresWallace4883 It's interesting because Charlie Kaufman has said many times that he didn't set out to make a depressing movie, but so many people, myself included, feel the same way. I think that's amazing/ horrifying. He was just trying to show people the lives they were living, and it ended up being so sad.
"Goodness, that's... harsh, isn't it?"
"Well, perhaps. But truthful."
Fun fact: this film was the product of someone asking Charlie Kaufman to make a horror film. I'd say he succeeded, as this movie scared me much more than any monster movie I've ever seen.
Xiao Andy rather foreboding that Charlie Kaufman's credit stay's on screen for the exact duration of that line
Such a beautiful voice. Masterpiece!
I cannot wait for Anomalisa.
Movie Man thoughts?
Milksteak / Friendly reminder that the person who wrote this comment could very well be dead.
Movie Man ah shit. hope you're still alive my guy
Are you alive??
Yes, is dead... i guess
these lyrics are so darn appealing, in a sentimental kinda way; and there's certainly nothing wrong with that
Still very sad to think one of the greatest actors to ever grace the screen is now gone.
R.I.P. Mr. Hoffman.
Im surprised this song isnt more popular I guess ppl choose to ignore the real issues sometimes
The exact same thing can be said about the movie it's from,Synecdoche ,New York.
+Cameron West I have yet to see the movie and it seems interesting I might check it out
Yea, I see what you're saying.
yupitellwhut I think they sort of saw that coming. It's poetry and not everyone is inclined to be moved by poetry or dreamlogic.
@@yupitellwhut Have you seen it yet?
I wish UA-cam had a repeat button. I could listen to this all day long. Beautiful.
Now it's invented!
I couldn't agree more. 21 year old male who had his heart broken, first with the final message of the film, and then with this song. It's so inspiring and emotional, but it sheds so much light on the sad life of an artist that it hurts.
RIP Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
this one song is better than the entire Pixar SOUL soundtrack
I've tried to tell people how big this movie is, but no luck. You have to Feel it to understand! it's not just a movie...
Ryan Nogueira you get it. some people just 'get it' and you're one of them
Ryan Nogueira good boy
i watched this movie a few years ago and loved it but for some reason never watched it again maybe because of how intense it is. just watched it again and god it's so good to see the human experience expressed so perfectly in a film.
waited too long to see this film, what an incredible poetic journey into the mind of not fully knowing but also knowing it all.
Every time I hear this song, it leaves me a sad yet kind feeling inside. It makes me think I am preparing to the day I die.
This song breaks me into pieces
This film always breaks me and reminds me how fragile human life is, how infinite is the inner desire of being truly loved
Hearing this song brings tears to my eyes.
If only words could explain the impact this film had on my life....
Hear this song when you go to goodnight sleep hey creative introverts

Just watched this, and I have not felt like watching a movie over again instantly since I was a child, im 18 now. My favourite film, as a film student I find this genius. Only the most creative minds could think of such a concept. Oscar worthy performance from Philip Seymour Hoffman.
I don't have a favourite film... but this is without a doubt the most affecting film I've ever seen. The theme songs perfectly captures a lot of what I find so moving about the movie. Job well done to Charlie Kaufman, Jon Brion, and everyone else involved in the making of this film.
It changed me to the core.
