if anyone's wondering, the binary code at the end says "Sorry for the negativity" it's okay, honestly it's a pretty great song, specially the vocals, amazing stuff
Hey LFO. It's surely been awhile since last time we've seen you. It's good to know you are still with us, and it good to know what's been causing some of, if not most, problems for you. It was the right choice to get this video out, and let your voice be heard. Many of us can understand that it's scared to let other know what happening, and hurts when you no able to do the things you are passionate to do. I believe a day will come when you can doing the things you love. You did a good thing today LFO, and wish you nothing but good things ahead. And if you need someone to talk to, I'll be happy to listen and do my best to help. Take care man ^^
I feel this on way too deep of a level. I spend all the time lifting up friends, never taking a second to think about myself, but every once in a while, it's okay to let your friends show that they appreciate you and cry the entire time. It's something that I've done quite a bit recently
It’s always a joy to see your videos pop in my inbox. On to what I wanted to say. I hope you’re doing better now, don’t ever be scared to reach out to my dms if you just wanna talk. Im more than happy to talk to a friend. As recently I lost a friend to suicide and had gone to her funeral. My greatest regret was not being able to say goodbye one last time or just hear there voice. It breaks me every time. The sadness I feel, will always be with me. You mean so much to a lot of people. I want you to know your work is always valued, even your old videos. I still remember when you had a video that was unlisted and I told you sprout should make it public. The reason I gave was to show growth. Because as an artist the biggest thing you can show is your growth of where you were to where you are now currently. As much as you might cringe and I cringe at our own past work. It’s not what video is about. It’s the mere existence of the video which is what is important. The fact that it is there and was the starting point to what you’ve become and the skills and knowledge you’ve gained from just making that old video really is important. Because it was the one of many things that created your passion, desire and dedication to making high class videos today. This video was super high quality, as I knew it would be coming from you. As I know your dedication to your craft is always 1000% . When I grew up I started to loose my passion for sfm and mlp. I knew it wasn’t feeling that creative void for me. So I moved on. I knew it wasn’t making me happy and I knew I had to come to grips with that. Find what makes you the most happy in this world and go for it. The world might seem bad now. But one bad moment will never outshine the hundreds of good and positive moments yet to come. I know I’ve been absent from the whole world as I’ve taken myself offline for a long time now. But I’ll send my discord if you ever want to catch up, just talk or reach out as I know we haven’t talked in a while. Just wanted to finish off by saying. You are important in this world and I hope you know that. ❤️
Damn dude this means so much to me. I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your friend. It's been awhile since i've talked to you since you've been off the radar for the most part (and so have I). Maybe we can talk again someday if we're both free.
The animation, scenebuild, lighting, lipsync, ... damn you did well man! I'd really love to see more content with this kind of quality and detail put in :) On the other topic, know where you're coming from... can't really say I feel better either. But, don't... even if it's "for others". As much as life sucks, there will be better times. As much as your friends at times have to endure even your bad side, the true ones stick around and will have your back even if you pushed them away multiple times. I didn't think this was possible either, but for a few years now I think I finally found the kind of friend group that, while not fully compatible with each other, stick through everything. Can't even say how many times I've accidentally "tested" this by now... but it seems those are the ones. And I can only tell you the same, please don't give up and stick around, you will end up with the right people eventually, be it sooner or later in life. Nothing is going to be bad forever.
You are a very strong person. Not everyone is given the ability to realize, understand and accept the negative side of their existence. You will save people like me. It took me a year to find the strength to write this. I really want to see the adventures of Flower.
It's taken me an entire month to comment on this, because in perfect honesty, this is one of the most emotionally impactful videos I've experienced on this website. For you to create something so incredibly personal and thought provoking, I know it can't be easy. The music is very well made. The attention to detail in the animation is unmatched. This proof of your life shall not go unheard, nor unseen. So, with all sincerity, thank you for creating, and thank you for living. Wishing you the absolute best.
I found this through The Top 10 Pony Videos of April and... man... Dude, the song is good, your singing is good, the animation is good! Don't be ashamed of the fact that you needed to let your emotions out. I may not know what you are going through, nor really know who you are, but I say, do not give up. There is still so much to live for and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I don't know if you are still going through that tunnel right now or if the problem's been resolved by now, but keep going. You can get through whatever is going on. You got this far, right? Keep moving. Persevere. Keep on doing what ya love to do.
Found your channel from my boyfriend sending me a link to your Flower animation released earlier. I know this video is older but I wanted to say how impressive your animation styling is. It’s like if a big music studio used a pony as a mascot, this seriously could’ve had a big VEVO slapped to it. I got a lot of NF vibes from the animation itself and the song is super catchy, I know with depression it’s easier to focus on the downs and ignore whatever ups you may have, but I mean it when I say your singing voice is absolutely amazing. This is a genre of animation/ song I didn’t really know I needed. I hope all is well, I wish you greater success and thanks for the animations you’ve given us, they’re truly a treat.
I feel this one. I hope everything works out for you and you'll get some time to do the things you're passionate about. Great animation and song. Take care of yourself in the meantime, LFØ
LittleShyFiM's "Top 10 Pony Videos" brought me here. I loaded this video in my browser, but I didn't play it right away. I'd see it in my browser every day, sometimes multiple times a day, and just couldn't bring myself to click "play". I had to watch it, but at the same time, I didn't want to. I already knew it would connect with and touch me in a place I know very well and try to stay away from. I would think of suicide, and there was always that one voice that would think back and tell me how stupid it would be to follow through. It would give me reasons why not to and discourage me and convince me to go another day and stop thinking about it as an option. Then one day, something in my life happened and that voice just went away. Nothing mattered anymore. It was scary. I was so hurt at the thought that I had reached a point that I just didn't care anymore. I wanted to care. I wanted to be "happy and healthy", and "normal", but the toxic poison of my own thoughts and situation was a potent one. I know realistically, there is no normal, but I know I've seen happy and healthy. On my worst day, there was a youtube video, a pony one that I wasn't even interested in clicking on, but for some reason, decided to. It was content like this that gave me the distraction I so desperately needed. It showed me that I wasn't alone, and that if someone else was out there, somehow surviving their own internal prisons of torment, maybe I could too. I won't say I'm all better now; far from it. I found "that voice" once again, though it's a struggle to hear it speak, and often frighteningly easy to ignore. That said, I'm glad this video exists. I'm glad I took the time to watch it. Thank you. I hope it does for someone else what that one video did for me. Even if you may never hear about it, just know that you and your efforts are appreciated.
Everything about this is beautiful. A dark topic, but the visuals and music just pair well together. Not to mention the animation. You have so much potential and I look forward to seeing more from you. Please keep up the great work.
This is an extremely well done video. The lighting, editing, animation, music, just, excellent job. On the subject matter. I fully understand. things have been hard for awhile. I found it helps to find things you love, find your passions, find distractions, even if its dumb. Ways to keep your mind occupied. give yourself things to push for. doesn't have to be big. can just be small steps. little things to look forward to. and know you aren't alone. I wish you all the best.
this shit hits different. it really does. im glad this exists, i only wish you didnt have to go through the pain it took to make it. ive been there. a lot of the time im still there. amazing video, amazing song.
Of all the pony sfm animators (and even overall sfm animators) I've ever seen, your work has always been the most visually beautiful and stunning I've ever seen by such an insanely large margin >
I feel this, too. Pretty often, actually. That same fear of hurting others, than confusion wondering if that's my only reason anymore. And that scares me a lot more. Thank you. I needed this.
The thought of suicide are very dangerous terrible things happen to all of us but we shouldn't go for the short route it just leads to even more pain, We all have our fair share but never go down the wrong path friends and family will be by your side.
true artwork from the heart, this really made me cry and hit me hard made me think about my life and how much I appreciate my friends and family and calling you my friend
i was scared to watch this cuz i was worried id get triggered im not gonna lie to you, I did indeed get triggered but it was worth it and i have now added this to my playlist of music honestly? thank you
So I decided to delete my original comment due to me thinking I went too much into details about myself but- I just want to say I really enjoyed this video. It was very well made, and so is the song. I've gone back to look at this animation several times. It's very good, and it hits my emotions hard. Thank you for making this.
Im glad to see your artwork in my feed again. Addressing your mental health can be overwhelming, I hope you find the time and happiness youre looking for
Bro this is actually so relatable and the animation is amazing so is the song like I actually relate to this so much. I also love that it’s mlp that’s so random I love it. KEEP GOING.
How could you possibly think you're not good at singing? This is just... amazing. Thank you for sharing. Here's a subscribe and a like. Please keep doin' what you're doin' - you deserve to be the wonderful creator I know you are.
"am I just living for other people?" I want to ask, would that be a bad thing? To live to make the world better because of you? To create and talk and laugh to better yourself so you can better others? If you care more about others than you do yourself, be the best self you can. Make yourself someone that others can go to, so that others can get their best life as well. Create a world, where fear is banished, sad is but a word that doesn't last long, and joy abounds! If you will only live for others, I say help them live their best life! And in turn live yours through the joy they have because of you. Have a good day, and remember: there are always those that will help you, if you are helping others.
Damn, you signed this and do this whole animation, writing- everything. Wow. Hard work talent, man. Good for you. Congrats on your success with more to come. So, I guess lore-wise Flower is a persona of you... or your song even though personal, is incorporated in Flower the character.
Just found your channel and gotta say that you really do make amazing things!Trust me when I say I know how it feels to lose that spark to continue to create. Just remember that these feelings will come and go just like a rollercoaster. We will have days where we smile and days where we want the suffering to stop. You got serious talent, this song hits better than most “professional” artists. Keep up the good work.
As someone who's been in a similar place, I know the struggle Stay strong, cherish the ones you love, and never let go of your passions Peace be with you, my dude
Damn , this song really describe excactly the emotion when people sad or dissapointed about something or someone in life . You really know how to tell your stories through your song LFO . This song have an interesting atmosphere in there , kinda like sad mix with happy
Hey, I hope you're working through all the dark situations you found yourself in. It's never wrong to open up about what hurts you. In fact, if more people did it, more of us could find help. I know it may not mean much when an internet stranger says this, but every life matters. It really does. None of know when one of our insignificant actions might change another's life. You wonder if you live for others...? I'd say life's worth living just for yourself. I've dealt with depression, I still do, from time to time. What helped me is just realizing the simplest fact of how unlikely a person's 'life' truly is. I mean, many things may have gone wrong, but how many things had to go right for me to exist the way I am? Isn't it the same for you? Rest when you need to, laugh when you need to, cry when you need to. Life is a journey with an ending none of us are sure about. It's worth living for the people who care about us, but it's also worth living for ourselves. Once it's over, it's over. We wouldn't get to see what more we could've done, what more there was to be discovered. Life's worth isn't defined by others, it's whatever we want it to be. Remember that.♥
This is the type of song that could be lucky enough to worm it's way into society's collective background, and that's because it sounds good. Whatever you think of it, it feels like Fireflies felt in the olden days when it git society like a weighted blanket. I also really, really enjoy the video: it looks good in a way I can't quite quantify. Animations often fall short of looking real, this one has an enviable amount of life to it. I don't know you and you don't know me, but good luck, genuine well wishes are the only meager thing I can offer; so there they are.
hey, I am really thankful that you created and published this song for us. You may not be proud of it, but it resonates with me immensely while being soothing. Been listening over and over. Thank you.
i know all of these feelings, and i just can say - no, it's not that we live for others; it's either that others care for us, they want that we're happy. it's easier said as done, i know - but maybe they do more than just "care" about us; maybe some love us - for the way how we are. the video's really well made, and even when it's a sad song - it shows something: you're not useless, you just don't know at that moment in wich direction you should go. i might not know what hell you had passed, but be sure: you're not the only one, and adressing your feelings so openly just will show the effect, that others, who might have remain silent, will even speak up to you.
this video is really... relatable for me. I've been going through some of that myself with regards to my own work. but I'm glad your here cus your stuff rocks, and it would be a sad world without such creative minds in it
growing up my family wasn't good at expressing feelings usually if you were having problems it was because you were weak and there always was a completion when it came to pain and tragedy so I learned early on just to bottle it up it felt like it was easier then being berated for being a "pussy", through my life I've struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts frankly the best thing that ever happened to me was when I finally started seeing a therapist when I was at my lowest once a week for a while until I finally confronted my family and released all those bottled up feelings
Welcome back LFO, it's always so good to see animation from you and as usual this one is positively fabulous and excellent you did such a spectacular job putting this together make no mistake about it both the animation and the song were done ever so splendidly, major kudos to you my friend!!!
I went through this a few years back. I went into a bit of a downwards spiral, thinking everything I did wasn't good enough. My grades started slipping and eventually I convinced myself that this is who I was always meant to be. A failure. And so I stopped trying. At the time, all I could think of was that while my future may not hold value, my past certainly did. If not to me then to the people I cared about. Looking back at it all, I realize that you can't put a value on human life. A human's value can change from day to day, and even if you're not worth much today, you are the product of an investment of thousands before you. I turned my life around, and to be perfectly honest I never told anyone what I was struggling with until after I had healed. So glad you told people about this, I think it will speed up the process a lot.
Just caught this for the first time, and everything about this is perfect. Video is great, music is great, vocals are great. An amazing song on those merits alone. But the story behind it is visceral, beautiful, and haunting... As someone who has, and sometimes still does, live only to not hurt those I love. Who had given up their dreams and passions, struggled to swim in the deep end of depression and self doubt. Who still hasn't found the ladder out, nor given in and drifted to the bottom. This speaks to me, this hurts me, this strikes hope, and melancholy, gives rise thousand conflicting feelings. Simply, it makes me feel. Thank you
Dude, you did geat work!! This animation, this music, it's all at a hight level!!! So don't you dare think what you're bad person or anything. As a guy who has tried to do something like this, I can honestly say that doing a job like you is really hard...
Damn, I’m proud of ya man it takes a lot of guts to open up and in a large scale especially. This song puts everything into perspective and the song is really damn good but it’s a true way to let everything out of the bottle. If you ever need anything and you already know this but know I’m always here to help you out and you already know I support everything you do not even I can do what you did today. I know you won’t give up but keep your head high!
Well done. I am, without a doubt, older than you. I may then... have some gentle wisdom to offer. Let me tell you that, old as I am, your struggles have motivated me. You see friend, the time of labor... fades as you age. While I worked in the tech industry, it was labor nonetheless. I thought it was more than that, but in the end I was no different that a plumber or a welder or a lumber jack, just a man with a skill to share. But as I age... well I am of less and less value to that economy. It seems that older people have this annoying habit of getting sick and using insurance more than younger folk... That makes the cost go up- pesky old people. Two years now unemployed, watching the rank and file I was once part of swell with younger and younger people. But I see the beauty in your work. It makes me think, "Why can't I do something innovative here? Why can't I create?" But the same old fears find me. "What if I suck? What if people think my creativity is stupid? Worse yet, what if no one watches at all?" I think anonymity is the worst hurt of all- for any creative person. The only thing that keeps me going, is the knowledge of God, that He or It or whatever- is out there... That and I would hurt those that at least say they love me... And I guess they do. But people so easily fall by the wayside in the memories of others. I am guilty of the same offense. We say at funerals what we had better said in person. So I say this to you now, while I still live, while you can still hear. You have been an inspiration to me and I suspect, countless others. I finally decided to get off my a$$, old as I am, and get started, one more time, with something creative. I don't have the same kind of talents as you friend... but I do have my own. Maybe this time... Maybe this once... Maybe is magic... and the world will be entertained... if only for a moment.
Please! Anyone going through this know that there really is someone out there they truly does love you, and know that what you're going through is temporary. It may feel crushing now, but with time and help you can overcome this. I've been there, moments away from the end. A trigger pull away. That end is a farce. The only way for the pain to end is to face it and overcome it. Seek out the help that you need and take care of yourself. Please! Someone loves you. Find them.
A small, personal story that resonated in my heart. I am glad that everything ended well with you. More precisely, it did not even end well, but continues well, because your life goes on. Many of us go through dark episodes in our lives, and if you have overcome it and now it's easier for you, then that's good, isn't it? I really feel warm in my soul from the realization that someone has become better. The world is so full of suffering, so let's at least try to reduce their number))
This is very well made! I really like the song you have a great voice! You said that you don’t think what you made was good enough but that’s not true at all! I can sing but I can’t even imagine myself ever being able to animate anything that well! I will subscribe. If you ever feel sad just look at the comments, everyone thinks you’re awesome. ❤❤❤
This hit to much to home and honestly im so sorry this happend to you. Every live you wrote I’ve fealt that exact same. And no one deserves to feel like that. Its great you havent done anything like that. God sometimes that does feel like the best solution. But im glad your still trying
Keep chasing ur passions man, I am in the same boat in my own way. This song is very well put together and the scenebuilding and animation is very well put together.
Something else I want to say as well.. U used music as an outlet and let ur voice be heard, and that alone can be a start to healing, bcuz it acts almost like closure or rather like releasing whats held inside. Its hard to talk about stuff like this let alone write a song about it, and i commend u for being able to do both as well as making this animation. And even tho you dont know me, and I dont know you, im glad you made the choice to stay, and im glad u let ur voice be heard. Time is one hekk of an obstacle, but with time youll get closer and closer to ur dreams. Slowly but surely. Keep chasing those dreams.
This is seriously well done. The scene composition, character animation, the singing, the music, it's all very well executed. It also speaks to me, like I think it does for many, on a very personal level. The most important person with my life struggles daily with suicide, and I can't imagine what I'd do if they ever took that step. Don't compare yourself to others, or the things you make to others. Compare yourself and them to who you were, and what you made, yesterday. I know I'm a stranger in a sea of other voices, but if you need someone to talk to, you can send me an email. My email address is on my channel.
welp i'm glad when i find a vid i like i check the channel to what what else they got. definitely didn't expect to find something like this, but i'm happy i did. tbh i could probably type up a wall of text just babbling on about a bunch of stuff but i doubt anyone would want that, so i'll just say keep doing what your doing, hold those you care about close, and trust in yourself and with what you make and have yet to make. side note: dawg you got nothing to be sorry for, your not being negative, just honest and open and there ain't anything wrong with that :3 SIDE side note: i know i'm hella late to this but i don't care, i'ma say what i would have said as if i had watched it on the day of release X3
It's been a long time since I've had to pause a video, stop, and reflect on it midway through. I've dealt with a lot of these same issues. I still do, to this day. I suffer with these same thoughts, and battle these demons regularly. It's good to let that pain out, and embrace it. You aren't alone, LFO.
omg this is among the best pony sfm ive ever seen i cant believe i hadnt heard of it sooner. also very relatable both song for anyone going through shit, it takes alotta bravery to admit to others. fucking amazing work overall only complaint is as ive said earlier i hadnt heard of it sooner dont ever doubt your talent.
Such soft colors, very cool animation, I like the emotions of this character and the face is cute, and the music is also nice, it's a pleasure to listen to it :D
mate I know this is almost a year old, but damn you are really good with these animations, you can really see the effort put into every expression and movement of that batpony oc. I mean that single segment from 1:00 to 1:09, it just says so damn much, and the only two things that happened in that scene are a zoom into the pony and a subtle movement of the eyes, and it just says so much without a single word. You have a ton of talent man, seriously. I have just seen the Flower video, and it is amazing, the quality of the fur, and the fluid movements it really looks like the work of a whole studio. So don't give in man, you may not be satisfied with your work, because you know you can do better, that should drive you to greatness, not pull you down because you have not achieved it yet. Rock on man, rock the hell on, you are awesome. Also Batponies for the win! eeeeeee Cheers /)
For some reason the sea of hands moving back and forth was terrifying. Like an ocean that is grasping for anything and that will smother you to death if it gets a hold of you. I like building things with my hands but I often talk myself out of my hobbies because they'll take too much time and effort and besides I'll never finish them anyways. So what's the point of starting? I say all this because on some level I understand your feelings and I hope that you and I will get the help we need. The night doesn't last forever.
Song hits different than what I'm used to listening. Made me think of my life. Asked questions. I had many negative thoughts but i don't let them take over. I don't want to fail myself. Or fail the one ill one day help. Maybe even change their life.
I found this video after the Flower one, and.. hell... Recently I lost my best friend, after which big problems began with the rest of people around me. And this music... excruciatingly anxious, sad... and at the same time inspiring. Really the Masterpice. And I would never have thought that the person who created flower had such problems before. I really hope that "had". . Thank you.
this hit home.... i ve gone through all this myself... the part of i wont off myself because i dont want to hurt others.... then am i living for others and not myself? that... that is me as well
That ... wow ... It was utterly beautiful It's painful ... but sharing such emotions, like this ... it touched me strongly. I can't know what you're going through, but I hope it turns out okay. Because despite it all, you still made something really special. And it is inspirational. And your singing is beautiful
I never came across you before until now but I am taken away by your talent and skill of what you can create. It is not often times when one is brave enough to express how they feel and openly talk about their emotions. I know it can be a tough subject to be open about but as a famous quote I once heard before: "Better to have a friend cry on your shoulder than to cry at their funeral". Anyways, enough mushy emotions, I am glad you are doing better, if not, better than how you felt before. If you feel like life got no purpose, then it is up to you to give that life purpose. Whatever that keeps you going, cherish it, pal. ❤😊
i kinda hate how much of those words related to myself not gonna lie depression self doubt and all that shit is certainly a terrible thing and an immense drain on someone. i especially related to the am i only living for others bit cayse i have felt that way a long time and it led to this feeling of being trapped cause im in so much pain but i dont wanna end it cause of what itll do to others. it can be worse when someone says hey it could be worse or just do this or that itll make ya feel better cause its just that easy. people who dont think this way strugglre to comprehend the thought process and it sucks at times but at the end of the day the fact that you recognise you have people that care about you and that you care enough of em to genuinely go through hell so they dont is one thing that you do have that not everyone has and thats a true friendship. ill stop rambling now though thyis vid is amazing and very relatable and in a odd way comforting cause its very nice to feel understood and kniow you arent alone feeling like this. plz take care.

Thank you so much for all of your support
You deserve it :3 we love to return the favor
No problem everyone or someone has had these thoughts and we just need to be loved to know(see) we mean more then we now.
I've been there myself, and while I worked through my issues, I know it can be hard.
P.S. your singing voice is better than you think.
Thank you for helping me know I'm normal and not alone. Take care, and do the things that make you happy.
I'll give you huggsss
Hey LFO. It's surely been awhile since last time we've seen you. It's good to know you are still with us, and it good to know what's been causing some of, if not most, problems for you. It was the right choice to get this video out, and let your voice be heard. Many of us can understand that it's scared to let other know what happening, and hurts when you no able to do the things you are passionate to do. I believe a day will come when you can doing the things you love. You did a good thing today LFO, and wish you nothing but good things ahead. And if you need someone to talk to, I'll be happy to listen and do my best to help. Take care man ^^
Thank you so much for this. I love seeing your comments on my videos, you always have a lot to say which I appreciate.
I feel this on way too deep of a level. I spend all the time lifting up friends, never taking a second to think about myself, but every once in a while, it's okay to let your friends show that they appreciate you and cry the entire time. It's something that I've done quite a bit recently
It’s always a joy to see your videos pop in my inbox.
On to what I wanted to say. I hope you’re doing better now, don’t ever be scared to reach out to my dms if you just wanna talk. Im more than happy to talk to a friend. As recently I lost a friend to suicide and had gone to her funeral. My greatest regret was not being able to say goodbye one last time or just hear there voice. It breaks me every time. The sadness I feel, will always be with me. You mean so much to a lot of people.
I want you to know your work is always valued, even your old videos. I still remember when you had a video that was unlisted and I told you sprout should make it public. The reason I gave was to show growth. Because as an artist the biggest thing you can show is your growth of where you were to where you are now currently. As much as you might cringe and I cringe at our own past work. It’s not what video is about. It’s the mere existence of the video which is what is important. The fact that it is there and was the starting point to what you’ve become and the skills and knowledge you’ve gained from just making that old video really is important. Because it was the one of many things that created your passion, desire and dedication to making high class videos today.
This video was super high quality, as I knew it would be coming from you. As I know your dedication to your craft is always 1000% . When I grew up I started to loose my passion for sfm and mlp. I knew it wasn’t feeling that creative void for me. So I moved on. I knew it wasn’t making me happy and I knew I had to come to grips with that. Find what makes you the most happy in this world and go for it. The world might seem bad now. But one bad moment will never outshine the hundreds of good and positive moments yet to come. I know I’ve been absent from the whole world as I’ve taken myself offline for a long time now. But I’ll send my discord if you ever want to catch up, just talk or reach out as I know we haven’t talked in a while.
Just wanted to finish off by saying. You are important in this world and I hope you know that. ❤️
Damn dude this means so much to me. I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your friend. It's been awhile since i've talked to you since you've been off the radar for the most part (and so have I). Maybe we can talk again someday if we're both free.
@@THE1LFOHEY GIRL ❤❤
The animation, scenebuild, lighting, lipsync, ... damn you did well man! I'd really love to see more content with this kind of quality and detail put in :)
On the other topic, know where you're coming from... can't really say I feel better either. But, don't... even if it's "for others". As much as life sucks, there will be better times. As much as your friends at times have to endure even your bad side, the true ones stick around and will have your back even if you pushed them away multiple times. I didn't think this was possible either, but for a few years now I think I finally found the kind of friend group that, while not fully compatible with each other, stick through everything. Can't even say how many times I've accidentally "tested" this by now... but it seems those are the ones. And I can only tell you the same, please don't give up and stick around, you will end up with the right people eventually, be it sooner or later in life. Nothing is going to be bad forever.
I appreciate this so much man, thank you.
This song talks about depression and suicidal thoughts
@@tannergrinzel1719 No way how did you figure this out
@@EpicLPer the lyrics tells you
You are a very strong person. Not everyone is given the ability to realize, understand and accept the negative side of their existence. You will save people like me. It took me a year to find the strength to write this. I really want to see the adventures of Flower.
It's taken me an entire month to comment on this, because in perfect honesty, this is one of the most emotionally impactful videos I've experienced on this website. For you to create something so incredibly personal and thought provoking, I know it can't be easy. The music is very well made. The attention to detail in the animation is unmatched. This proof of your life shall not go unheard, nor unseen. So, with all sincerity, thank you for creating, and thank you for living. Wishing you the absolute best.
I found this through The Top 10 Pony Videos of April and... man...
Dude, the song is good, your singing is good, the animation is good! Don't be ashamed of the fact that you needed to let your emotions out.
I may not know what you are going through, nor really know who you are, but I say, do not give up. There is still so much to live for and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I don't know if you are still going through that tunnel right now or if the problem's been resolved by now, but keep going. You can get through whatever is going on. You got this far, right? Keep moving. Persevere. Keep on doing what ya love to do.
I'm happy to see your still with us LFO, never forget about your friends that you have in life.
Found your channel from my boyfriend sending me a link to your Flower animation released earlier. I know this video is older but I wanted to say how impressive your animation styling is. It’s like if a big music studio used a pony as a mascot, this seriously could’ve had a big VEVO slapped to it.
I got a lot of NF vibes from the animation itself and the song is super catchy, I know with depression it’s easier to focus on the downs and ignore whatever ups you may have, but I mean it when I say your singing voice is absolutely amazing.
This is a genre of animation/ song I didn’t really know I needed. I hope all is well, I wish you greater success and thanks for the animations you’ve given us, they’re truly a treat.
I feel this one. I hope everything works out for you and you'll get some time to do the things you're passionate about. Great animation and song. Take care of yourself in the meantime, LFØ
LittleShyFiM's "Top 10 Pony Videos" brought me here. I loaded this video in my browser, but I didn't play it right away. I'd see it in my browser every day, sometimes multiple times a day, and just couldn't bring myself to click "play". I had to watch it, but at the same time, I didn't want to. I already knew it would connect with and touch me in a place I know very well and try to stay away from.
I would think of suicide, and there was always that one voice that would think back and tell me how stupid it would be to follow through. It would give me reasons why not to and discourage me and convince me to go another day and stop thinking about it as an option. Then one day, something in my life happened and that voice just went away. Nothing mattered anymore. It was scary. I was so hurt at the thought that I had reached a point that I just didn't care anymore. I wanted to care. I wanted to be "happy and healthy", and "normal", but the toxic poison of my own thoughts and situation was a potent one. I know realistically, there is no normal, but I know I've seen happy and healthy.
On my worst day, there was a youtube video, a pony one that I wasn't even interested in clicking on, but for some reason, decided to. It was content like this that gave me the distraction I so desperately needed. It showed me that I wasn't alone, and that if someone else was out there, somehow surviving their own internal prisons of torment, maybe I could too.
I won't say I'm all better now; far from it. I found "that voice" once again, though it's a struggle to hear it speak, and often frighteningly easy to ignore.
That said, I'm glad this video exists. I'm glad I took the time to watch it. Thank you. I hope it does for someone else what that one video did for me. Even if you may never hear about it, just know that you and your efforts are appreciated.
This is amazing :'') I love it my dude 💕
Btw. Nice riddle. The binary code at the end of the video is the ASCII code of "Sorry for the negativity"
Everything about this is beautiful. A dark topic, but the visuals and music just pair well together. Not to mention the animation. You have so much potential and I look forward to seeing more from you. Please keep up the great work.
Thank you so much man, love your work too!
This is an extremely well done video. The lighting, editing, animation, music, just, excellent job.
On the subject matter. I fully understand. things have been hard for awhile. I found it helps to find things you love, find your passions, find distractions, even if its dumb. Ways to keep your mind occupied. give yourself things to push for. doesn't have to be big. can just be small steps. little things to look forward to. and know you aren't alone. I wish you all the best.
this shit hits different. it really does. im glad this exists, i only wish you didnt have to go through the pain it took to make it. ive been there. a lot of the time im still there. amazing video, amazing song.
Its ok to take time for yourself and to take time to slow down. Brilliant music as always
Of all the pony sfm animators (and even overall sfm animators) I've ever seen, your work has always been the most visually beautiful and stunning I've ever seen by such an insanely large margin >
Such a beautiful and inspirational song. It's honesty is what inspires me. I'm tired of pretending I'm okay, cause it only hurts more.
That song hits hard with the way society is nowadays. The song was amazing you're vocals are clear as crystal.
oh wow, this was right in the feels man. I just wanted to wrap my hooves around him and give him a good big hug and tell it's all okay
I feel this, too. Pretty often, actually. That same fear of hurting others, than confusion wondering if that's my only reason anymore. And that scares me a lot more. Thank you. I needed this.
Fuuuck this was good! Can relate to so much of it!
The thought of suicide are very dangerous terrible things happen to all of us but we shouldn't go for the short route it just leads to even more pain, We all have our fair share but never go down the wrong path friends and family will be by your side.
true artwork from the heart, this really made me cry and hit me hard made me think about my life and how much I appreciate my friends and family and calling you my friend
Aww, I'm glad this video touched you man. I hope it inspires you.
I knew this song would talk about depression
You honestly have no reason to self depricate, this is great!❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
You deserve more views. This is so professional! Great work!
i was scared to watch this cuz i was worried id get triggered
im not gonna lie to you, I did indeed get triggered
but it was worth it and i have now added this to my playlist of music
honestly? thank you
So I decided to delete my original comment due to me thinking I went too much into details about myself but- I just want to say I really enjoyed this video. It was very well made, and so is the song. I've gone back to look at this animation several times. It's very good, and it hits my emotions hard. Thank you for making this.
"I know this song isn't very good"
*listens to long on loop*
I have never related to something so hard before, god I'm so glad I found your channel
Dude.. that last part about it makes me wonder... am i just living, for other people? That hit so hard..
Im glad to see your artwork in my feed again. Addressing your mental health can be overwhelming, I hope you find the time and happiness youre looking for
Bro this is actually so relatable and the animation is amazing so is the song like I actually relate to this so much. I also love that it’s mlp that’s so random I love it. KEEP GOING.
For some reason I just keep rewatching this video. Your animation is so good. I wish you could teach me.
How could you possibly think you're not good at singing? This is just... amazing.
Thank you for sharing. Here's a subscribe and a like. Please keep doin' what you're doin' - you deserve to be the wonderful creator I know you are.
"am I just living for other people?" I want to ask, would that be a bad thing? To live to make the world better because of you? To create and talk and laugh to better yourself so you can better others? If you care more about others than you do yourself, be the best self you can. Make yourself someone that others can go to, so that others can get their best life as well. Create a world, where fear is banished, sad is but a word that doesn't last long, and joy abounds! If you will only live for others, I say help them live their best life! And in turn live yours through the joy they have because of you. Have a good day, and remember: there are always those that will help you, if you are helping others.
I love this song!! It fits me emotions perfectly well ❤
Damn, you signed this and do this whole animation, writing- everything. Wow.
Hard work talent, man. Good for you. Congrats on your success with more to come.
So, I guess lore-wise Flower is a persona of you... or your song even though personal, is incorporated in Flower the character.
Just found your channel and gotta say that you really do make amazing things!Trust me when I say I know how it feels to lose that spark to continue to create. Just remember that these feelings will come and go just like a rollercoaster. We will have days where we smile and days where we want the suffering to stop.
You got serious talent, this song hits better than most “professional” artists. Keep up the good work.
Sings everything perfect pitch a key.
"I know my singing isn't very good"
🤓
it's beautiful and heartbreaking
MLP + sucide + comforting music = crying brony and damned soul soothed
this resonates with my brain waves; hits in a place not many songs do. Thank you for making this
As someone who's been in a similar place, I know the struggle
Stay strong, cherish the ones you love, and never let go of your passions
Peace be with you, my dude
Damn , this song really describe excactly the emotion when people sad or dissapointed about something or someone in life . You really know how to tell your stories through your song LFO . This song have an interesting atmosphere in there , kinda like sad mix with happy
Hey, I hope you're working through all the dark situations you found yourself in. It's never wrong to open up about what hurts you. In fact, if more people did it, more of us could find help. I know it may not mean much when an internet stranger says this, but every life matters. It really does. None of know when one of our insignificant actions might change another's life.
You wonder if you live for others...? I'd say life's worth living just for yourself. I've dealt with depression, I still do, from time to time. What helped me is just realizing the simplest fact of how unlikely a person's 'life' truly is. I mean, many things may have gone wrong, but how many things had to go right for me to exist the way I am? Isn't it the same for you? Rest when you need to, laugh when you need to, cry when you need to. Life is a journey with an ending none of us are sure about. It's worth living for the people who care about us, but it's also worth living for ourselves. Once it's over, it's over. We wouldn't get to see what more we could've done, what more there was to be discovered. Life's worth isn't defined by others, it's whatever we want it to be. Remember that.♥
Stumbled apon your video and just wanted to say that its a very good, honestly speakings very well animated
This is the type of song that could be lucky enough to worm it's way into society's collective background, and that's because it sounds good. Whatever you think of it, it feels like Fireflies felt in the olden days when it git society like a weighted blanket. I also really, really enjoy the video: it looks good in a way I can't quite quantify. Animations often fall short of looking real, this one has an enviable amount of life to it.
I don't know you and you don't know me, but good luck, genuine well wishes are the only meager thing I can offer; so there they are.
hey, I am really thankful that you created and published this song for us. You may not be proud of it, but it resonates with me immensely while being soothing. Been listening over and over. Thank you.
i know all of these feelings, and i just can say - no, it's not that we live for others; it's either that others care for us, they want that we're happy. it's easier said as done, i know - but maybe they do more than just "care" about us; maybe some love us - for the way how we are. the video's really well made, and even when it's a sad song - it shows something: you're not useless, you just don't know at that moment in wich direction you should go. i might not know what hell you had passed, but be sure: you're not the only one, and adressing your feelings so openly just will show the effect, that others, who might have remain silent, will even speak up to you.
Well... I like the song, and I'm happy I was able to hear it.
I still keep coming back to listen to this.
Just love it.
this video is really... relatable for me. I've been going through some of that myself with regards to my own work. but I'm glad your here cus your stuff rocks, and it would be a sad world without such creative minds in it
growing up my family wasn't good at expressing feelings usually if you were having problems it was because you were weak and there always was a completion when it came to pain and tragedy so I learned early on just to bottle it up it felt like it was easier then being berated for being a "pussy", through my life I've struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts frankly the best thing that ever happened to me was when I finally started seeing a therapist when I was at my lowest once a week for a while until I finally confronted my family and released all those bottled up feelings
Welcome back LFO, it's always so good to see animation from you and as usual this one is positively fabulous and excellent you did such a spectacular job putting this together make no mistake about it both the animation and the song were done ever so splendidly, major kudos to you my friend!!!
I went through this a few years back. I went into a bit of a downwards spiral, thinking everything I did wasn't good enough. My grades started slipping and eventually I convinced myself that this is who I was always meant to be. A failure. And so I stopped trying. At the time, all I could think of was that while my future may not hold value, my past certainly did. If not to me then to the people I cared about. Looking back at it all, I realize that you can't put a value on human life. A human's value can change from day to day, and even if you're not worth much today, you are the product of an investment of thousands before you. I turned my life around, and to be perfectly honest I never told anyone what I was struggling with until after I had healed. So glad you told people about this, I think it will speed up the process a lot.
Came here from Flower
Stayed for your talents, like your animation & voice
This... really hits home with me. And put a different perspective on the way i think about my issues.
Just caught this for the first time, and everything about this is perfect. Video is great, music is great, vocals are great. An amazing song on those merits alone.
But the story behind it is visceral, beautiful, and haunting... As someone who has, and sometimes still does, live only to not hurt those I love. Who had given up their dreams and passions, struggled to swim in the deep end of depression and self doubt. Who still hasn't found the ladder out, nor given in and drifted to the bottom. This speaks to me, this hurts me, this strikes hope, and melancholy, gives rise thousand conflicting feelings. Simply, it makes me feel.
Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Dude, you did geat work!! This animation, this music, it's all at a hight level!!! So don't you dare think what you're bad person or anything. As a guy who has tried to do something like this, I can honestly say that doing a job like you is really hard...
Your music leaves me wanting more. More music. It soothes my soul.
Damn, I’m proud of ya man it takes a lot of guts to open up and in a large scale especially. This song puts everything into perspective and the song is really damn good but it’s a true way to let everything out of the bottle. If you ever need anything and you already know this but know I’m always here to help you out and you already know I support everything you do not even I can do what you did today. I know you won’t give up but keep your head high!
Thanks so much man. It means a lot.
@@THE1LFO nah no need to thank me it’s what friends are for
Hey. This video is amazing! I’m glad you’re still here!
Well done. I am, without a doubt, older than you. I may then... have some gentle wisdom to offer. Let me tell you that, old as I am, your struggles have motivated me. You see friend, the time of labor... fades as you age. While I worked in the tech industry, it was labor nonetheless. I thought it was more than that, but in the end I was no different that a plumber or a welder or a lumber jack, just a man with a skill to share. But as I age... well I am of less and less value to that economy.
It seems that older people have this annoying habit of getting sick and using insurance more than younger folk... That makes the cost go up- pesky old people.
Two years now unemployed, watching the rank and file I was once part of swell with younger and younger people.
But I see the beauty in your work. It makes me think, "Why can't I do something innovative here? Why can't I create?"
But the same old fears find me. "What if I suck? What if people think my creativity is stupid? Worse yet, what if no one watches at all?" I think anonymity is the worst hurt of all- for any creative person.
The only thing that keeps me going, is the knowledge of God, that He or It or whatever- is out there... That and I would hurt those that at least say they love me... And I guess they do. But people so easily fall by the wayside in the memories of others. I am guilty of the same offense. We say at funerals what we had better said in person.
So I say this to you now, while I still live, while you can still hear. You have been an inspiration to me and I suspect, countless others. I finally decided to get off my a$$, old as I am, and get started, one more time, with something creative. I don't have the same kind of talents as you friend... but I do have my own.
Maybe this time... Maybe this once... Maybe is magic... and the world will be entertained... if only for a moment.
Please! Anyone going through this know that there really is someone out there they truly does love you, and know that what you're going through is temporary. It may feel crushing now, but with time and help you can overcome this. I've been there, moments away from the end. A trigger pull away. That end is a farce. The only way for the pain to end is to face it and overcome it. Seek out the help that you need and take care of yourself. Please! Someone loves you. Find them.
This was beautiful, Suicide is the wrong way to go, let God decide for you and all of us, when the time comes you'll understand that life gets better
A small, personal story that resonated in my heart. I am glad that everything ended well with you. More precisely, it did not even end well, but continues well, because your life goes on. Many of us go through dark episodes in our lives, and if you have overcome it and now it's easier for you, then that's good, isn't it? I really feel warm in my soul from the realization that someone has become better. The world is so full of suffering, so let's at least try to reduce their number))
amazing! very good animation very good song i liked everything definitely one of my favorites songs
very touches and related, hope your life getting better mate.
This is very well made! I really like the song you have a great voice! You said that you don’t think what you made was good enough but that’s not true at all! I can sing but I can’t even imagine myself ever being able to animate anything that well! I will subscribe.
If you ever feel sad just look at the comments, everyone thinks you’re awesome. ❤❤❤
This hit to much to home and honestly im so sorry this happend to you. Every live you wrote I’ve fealt that exact same. And no one deserves to feel like that. Its great you havent done anything like that. God sometimes that does feel like the best solution. But im glad your still trying
Keep chasing ur passions man, I am in the same boat in my own way. This song is very well put together and the scenebuilding and animation is very well put together.
Something else I want to say as well..
U used music as an outlet and let ur voice be heard, and that alone can be a start to healing, bcuz it acts almost like closure or rather like releasing whats held inside.
Its hard to talk about stuff like this let alone write a song about it, and i commend u for being able to do both as well as making this animation. And even tho you dont know me, and I dont know you, im glad you made the choice to stay, and im glad u let ur voice be heard.
Time is one hekk of an obstacle, but with time youll get closer and closer to ur dreams. Slowly but surely.
Keep chasing those dreams.
This is seriously well done. The scene composition, character animation, the singing, the music, it's all very well executed.
It also speaks to me, like I think it does for many, on a very personal level. The most important person with my life struggles daily with suicide, and I can't imagine what I'd do if they ever took that step.
Don't compare yourself to others, or the things you make to others. Compare yourself and them to who you were, and what you made, yesterday.
I know I'm a stranger in a sea of other voices, but if you need someone to talk to, you can send me an email. My email address is on my channel.
welp i'm glad when i find a vid i like i check the channel to what what else they got. definitely didn't expect to find something like this, but i'm happy i did. tbh i could probably type up a wall of text just babbling on about a bunch of stuff but i doubt anyone would want that, so i'll just say keep doing what your doing, hold those you care about close, and trust in yourself and with what you make and have yet to make.
side note: dawg you got nothing to be sorry for, your not being negative, just honest and open and there ain't anything wrong with that :3
SIDE side note: i know i'm hella late to this but i don't care, i'ma say what i would have said as if i had watched it on the day of release X3
I love everything about this! Ironically, I didn't realize i was watching it in black and white with bedtime mode on but it kinda fit.
It's been a long time since I've had to pause a video, stop, and reflect on it midway through. I've dealt with a lot of these same issues. I still do, to this day. I suffer with these same thoughts, and battle these demons regularly. It's good to let that pain out, and embrace it. You aren't alone, LFO.
omg this is among the best pony sfm ive ever seen i cant believe i hadnt heard of it sooner. also very relatable both song for anyone going through shit, it takes alotta bravery to admit to others. fucking amazing work overall only complaint is as ive said earlier i hadnt heard of it sooner dont ever doubt your talent.
.
Wow.
This is beautiful work.
Thanks for sharing it with the world.
This one really moved me.
This is so good. Everything about this is amazing
great animation, music, and mixing! The text on the screen is a little bit too relatable though... oh well.
Such soft colors, very cool animation, I like the emotions of this character and the face is cute, and the music is also nice, it's a pleasure to listen to it :D
mate I know this is almost a year old, but damn you are really good with these animations, you can really see the effort put into every expression and movement of that batpony oc. I mean that single segment from 1:00 to 1:09, it just says so damn much, and the only two things that happened in that scene are a zoom into the pony and a subtle movement of the eyes, and it just says so much without a single word. You have a ton of talent man, seriously. I have just seen the Flower video, and it is amazing, the quality of the fur, and the fluid movements it really looks like the work of a whole studio. So don't give in man, you may not be satisfied with your work, because you know you can do better, that should drive you to greatness, not pull you down because you have not achieved it yet. Rock on man, rock the hell on, you are awesome.
Also Batponies for the win! eeeeeee
Cheers /)
For some reason the sea of hands moving back and forth was terrifying.
Like an ocean that is grasping for anything and that will smother you to death if it gets a hold of you.
I like building things with my hands but I often talk myself out of my hobbies because they'll take too much time and effort and besides I'll never finish them anyways. So what's the point of starting?
I say all this because on some level I understand your feelings and I hope that you and I will get the help we need.
The night doesn't last forever.
Song hits different than what I'm used to listening. Made me think of my life. Asked questions. I had many negative thoughts but i don't let them take over. I don't want to fail myself. Or fail the one ill one day help. Maybe even change their life.
I found this video after the Flower one, and.. hell...
Recently I lost my best friend, after which big problems began with the rest of people around me. And this music... excruciatingly anxious, sad... and at the same time inspiring. Really the Masterpice. And I would never have thought that the person who created flower had such problems before. I really hope that "had". .
Thank you.
holy crap this is so good!
this hit home.... i ve gone through all this myself... the part of i wont off myself because i dont want to hurt others.... then am i living for others and not myself? that... that is me as well
Awww, what an adorable looking pone. XD Nice video man.
This helps me a lot, I felt so alone but I know others that probably want me to stay alive, and I think the same for them. What if I lost them?
Great work! Your animation, singing, framing, color palette, and composition are all excellent.
btw, there is no harsher critic than yourself
That ... wow ...
It was utterly beautiful
It's painful ... but sharing such emotions, like this ... it touched me strongly.
I can't know what you're going through, but I hope it turns out okay.
Because despite it all, you still made something really special. And it is inspirational.
And your singing is beautiful
I never came across you before until now but I am taken away by your talent and skill of what you can create. It is not often times when one is brave enough to express how they feel and openly talk about their emotions. I know it can be a tough subject to be open about but as a famous quote I once heard before: "Better to have a friend cry on your shoulder than to cry at their funeral".
Anyways, enough mushy emotions, I am glad you are doing better, if not, better than how you felt before. If you feel like life got no purpose, then it is up to you to give that life purpose. Whatever that keeps you going, cherish it, pal. ❤😊
this channel is an absolute GEM i seriously love your content man im so happy i found you
Dude, this is amazing. And, I can relate at least a bit, hope you feel better soon
i kinda hate how much of those words related to myself not gonna lie depression self doubt and all that shit is certainly a terrible thing and an immense drain on someone. i especially related to the am i only living for others bit cayse i have felt that way a long time and it led to this feeling of being trapped cause im in so much pain but i dont wanna end it cause of what itll do to others. it can be worse when someone says hey it could be worse or just do this or that itll make ya feel better cause its just that easy. people who dont think this way strugglre to comprehend the thought process and it sucks at times but at the end of the day the fact that you recognise you have people that care about you and that you care enough of em to genuinely go through hell so they dont is one thing that you do have that not everyone has and thats a true friendship. ill stop rambling now though thyis vid is amazing and very relatable and in a odd way comforting cause its very nice to feel understood and kniow you arent alone feeling like this. plz take care.
Fitting that the first time I see this is on June 22. Beautiful.
