We Grew Up So Well is a VideoSong, a new medium with 2 rules:
1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).
We Grew Up So Well, by Jack Conte
Lyrics:
Staring at a trash can, thinking about the things you've thrown away. You love our pretty planet, yeah, but not enough to stay. No, please don't go! You always took care of your hands. How could you break them like you did? Like a bug on a window. Is that what you wanted to be? A moment's pause? All you see is madness. Nobody can show you the method. No please, wait, no! So I remember you in lyric, recycled soul reborn as ink from a desperate pen. Is that what you wanted to be? Just a topic of mine? Oh, I dream of your soul, I wish you could know that we grew up so well. Oh, you didn't know. You didn't know that soon you'd be okay. Echoing bellows, so slow like gallows. Is that what you wanted to be? A still life's pose? A photograph? A story told? A friend I had?
haha, no neighbors! the studio is on a forest hill, the nearest house is 200 feet away! haha, otherwise i couldn't get away with this....
Blast from the past. I follow your Scary Pockets and other recent stuff and YT fed me this one. Fantastic! I have a question. Are these from live takes or did you record the audio then shoot. I’ve tried and it’s hard enough being artist and engineer at once but then synching video from multiple takes,… wow!
@@halperez2643 the shots you see are the actual music takes
@@JoshuaKimbrough that is amazing because it must have been multiple takes for each song.
Bro was ahead of his time. It's kinda unbelievable that this song is 15 years old
right??? why arent people talking about this right now? this is awesome
Me parece una maravilla la locura que representan sus trabajos
WHAT I WAS LISTENING TO THIS AND I FOUND OUT HES THE CEO OF PATREON??? WHAT???!!!?!!? I DIDNT KNOW
WAIT WHAT???!!!
OH MY GOSH YOU'RE RIGHT THIS IS THE BIGGEST PLOT TWIST EVER
WHAAAAAAAAAAT
😰😰😰😰😰😰😰
WHAT??
"I remember you in lyric, recycled soul reborn as ink from a desperate pen." outstanding.....
god i love how jacks songs all have that weird mix of slightly off-putting tones but also.. idk it's almost like a hint of nostalgia? no idea how he does it but they all have such a unique powerful feel to them and im hooked
I feel like Jack isn't talked about enough. His songs are underrated and the views are so low considering all of his vids are from decades ago. Most vids would've had at least 10M views if the vid's at least a decade old. Yet even his best song imo, Kitchen Fork, is still at 836K views. Unbelievable.
But then I remember that he co-founded Patreon and is the CEO and he started Pomplamoose with his lovely and equally as talented wife Nataly. He's successful, yet still underrated.
I never had a close friend commit suicide, but this song almost makes me feel like I did. Or at least give me an idea of how it would feel. That's how powerful these lyrics are, that's how great Jack is.
After I found out the lyrics, they powerfully resonate with me too
I love how aggressive you are at times
BITING THIS SONG AND SHAKING IT IN MY MOUTH LIKE A DOG TOY
THIS IS LIKE. ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS. EVER
I WANT TO FUCKING SCREAM THE LYRICS AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS
My best friend that I known since kindergarten hung himself 2 years ago I was in another province with my dad at the time when I got back my mom told me about it I felt broken like I could’ve did something to help him this song helped me and made me feel a lil better about the situation. Thanks Jack.
Damn, 9 months ago, feeling better?
This song/video makes me cry every time. I can't even imagine what it feels like to lose a friend to suicide. :'(
It is terrible beyond words trust me my friend killed herself when she was just 12...
My friend killed themself when they were 15. They were too young.
It's horrible.-
One of my friends is suicidal, and it’s really scary even thinking of them going through with it.. I’m trying my best to help them, though.
This masterpiece takes you by choke hold and doesn't let go until there is no more sound. It hurts losing someone by their own hands, and every word Jack put into this shows it all. Can't stop listening to all his work. Him and Nat.
What terrible emotion so deftly recorded! My heart goes out to those who grieve suicides and other untimely losses. Thank you for sharing these images.
5 years later and still only 150k views, goes to show you how much of a rare gem this so is. Now I never have known a person who committed suicide but I'm sure it is terrible for the ones that love ones who take their own lives. Thanks, Jack for this very touching song
well, mate, 165k now 4 years later
@@maccasmar 2 years after you, 191k views.
195k
@@pedrorego940 2021 and only 5k more views. Jack top 10 underated of the 2000's-2010's
@@JoshuaKimbrough 2022 and it has 12k more, so sad that his beautiful works are heard by so few people.
UGH gave me chills I wonder where Jack is now.. Hope your well man I love all your music and I been telling everyone about it! You deserve it!
he's the co ceo of patreon!! i think
@@feebkeeper2695 CEO and co-founder of Patreon. Part of the band Pomplamoose too. If you know the song "Bust Your Knee Caps", its by him and his wife.
@@criidawg yep! he's also apart of scary pockets too, along with his wife every once and a whole. they do funk covers
@@feebkeeper2695 I was wondering how he was doing, that makes me so happy to hear!
Whaaaaaat!? CEO? so happy for him bro
Been listening on spotify, did not realise jack did everything himself. Phenomenal
Fr
I THOUGHT THOSE WERE DIFFERENT PEOPLE???!
Years later I still listen to this song and it still evokes a strong emotion reaction from when at the part "you didn't know that soon you'd be ok"
I think this might be my favorite song. Not just of yours, either.
+Saturninefilms No kidding right? So much raw emotion.
Don't you wish he would've kept up his solo work? Pomplamoose is good, but can't compare to this...
@@forgottenpygmy I’ve been thinking this a lot. I think he was ahead of his time and he would definitely have gotten bigger now with his music I think, if he kept going solo. I miss the videosongs
"So I remember you in lyric, recycled soul reborn as ink from a desperate pen ...
... Oh, I dream of your soul, I wish you could know that we grew up so well.
Oh, you didn't know. You didn't know that soon you'd be okay. "
this song reminds me of my late cousin. i wish he could know we grew up so well.
this song has a chokehold on me
7 years old and I still love this song
David Shepherd h e c c
15 now. How time flies
2020 and i still find these lyrics moving me like no other lyrics have
This is the greatest solo Artist I've ever heard......RESPECT!
It's probably impossible to recapture the raw emotion displayed in this song.
Which is a shame because the video really could use a do-over :)
But what a great vocal performance. Such raw untamed power and emotion.
Jack, reconcider at least re-uploading it in these 720p times of UA-cam,
I bet the footage looks better on your harddrive.
this song is so good oml HOW IS IT 15 YEARS OLD 0o0
It's phenomenal how many sounds he can fit into a mix and have it still sound good. He must have amazing mastering skills.
Glad this is becoming famous on the animation community. A sad topic but touching lyrics with a beautiful beat
Almost 15 years later and this song still holds up
still so many years later and my drunk old ass now thinks this is one of the best songs ive ever heard. jack, im glad youre doing well. i was so surprised to see youre the ceo of patreon, and man, im proud of you, really, really proud of you.
I really wish if you made more music Jack, thank you for sharing this, over a decade late, but I really love this so much.
Man this song is f#cking amazing it's kinda sad a masterpiece like this is so underrated,thanks "TWISTED DOCTOR" for letting me see this work of art
Me too, but i think that Skrill said for us to not say that we know this song because of the MAP- oh well
Almost 15 years later and this literally hits different
Такая обалденная песня оказывается выпущена 13 лет назад😦 почему Ютуб раньше мне её не показывал?!
This song is amazing.
"Oh, I dream of your soul, I wish you could know that we grew up so well."
That line just hits me deep every time I hear it.
I just discovered this a month ago, August 2022! And I really like this song :^)
The Mixing was done so perfectly, but not just in the professional sense. I don't know if it was intentional, but that small xylophone manages to cut right through all the other instruments at the end, almost reminiscive of a younger time... amazing.
Every single time I think too much, i come back here by some strange law of fate. It’s strangely comforting, knowing people who don’t even know me might have cried for me upon hearing about it, makes it a little easier to keep living /gen
I still wish so badly for these record labels to stop sh*tting all over the music industry, so that we can get to hear more of this kind of music.
so much emotion
i love this song. ive listened to it for a while and it never gets old,, i dont understand how he pulls off staying so underground
Anybody else have to decompress after this song?
this song is about man destroying it self. and eventually being portrayed as a still life pose, a brief species that died out to its inability to change its ways. A museum stand for a different species on this universe that is looking back unto us.
Sombrero Thief, nice theory. And nice username.
Mmm it's probably about losing somebody to suicide.
This song is great art,I would pay to get into a museum to see it.Also Conte's songs last,a rare musician indeed that can pass the test of time.Period.
I love the meanings of this song and I just love seeing the expression he makes while singing this..
Amazing. I feel guilty for watching this, like someone watching a stranger cry without them knowing.
How is this a full decade old now?
I remember watching these videos when they came out, you were the first "youtube channel" I always checked from time to time (as there was no subscriptions yet). I remember you had a button on your website to buy all songs. Sadly I had no money back then, but I still enjoy these!
I'm not into celebrities or the such, could care less for people I didn't know in person, yet you were the first one I cheerd on seeing the progress! I don't know why but I'm really so proud of you! Thanks to you I got to know a lot more independent artists.
So that's it, just wanted to say those 2 things: I'm proud of you and thanks for everything.
My cousin Brady did a podcast interview with you and wanted me to check it out, so I did, and the answers you gave about creativity made me want to check out your stuff, and I think you are an amazing musician, my favorite at this time, and this song is sooo intense and fitting for the subject matter, the desparation in your voice... like the person below me, that was just amazing! keep it up Jack :D
this song reminds me of good omens (especially after the last episode of season 2..)
Ur so right actually omg I need to add it to my crowley playlist 😭
I LOVE this music
it sad that most of the comments are about someone offing theirselves, and a person inside a certain multi animator project had done the same. goodbye inai.
Rest in peace, Inai. We miss you.
I can't distinguish between this song and the great art that preceeded it through the centuries that adorns museum walls.This is biblical insomuch that it is just as relevant to world art as the great master composers,painters,and poets.
mannnnnnn this brings me back. can't say how many times i played his videosongs in high school. almost feel like he was ahead of his time with youtube...
The thing that always amazes me about Jack Conte (I mean, other than the ridiculous mix of sounds and the brilliance and realness of his lyrics) is how much he puts into his songs. The segment from 1:40 to 2:03 really just shows what I mean.
this song just like me fr
As much as i dont want to be 'that guy in youtube music video comments,' but for real... Who's here in 2024?
✋️
What's up?
Here! How are you guys? :)
Welcome welcome!
Hi!!
Was in my Discover Weekly in December, so glad I found this
Can't believe it's been 12 years already! Still one of my favourite songs!
The vocals are always stellar on these Jack. I would love to be able to always have your range and tone..unfortunately I only get it when the stars are aligned just right (and of course the record button is furthest away most times).
Still using this song to grieve a loss of someone close to me. It's so powerful at capturing the raw, desperate emotion of mourning someone you hadn't realized how much they meant to you, or how soon they'd exit your life. I try to see the positives, but I get so choked up imagining a life where they're not there to be proud of me. All I'm left with is the regret.
Still one of my favorite songs in 2013
David Shepherd, still one of my favorite songs in 2017
it would be an understatement to say you put your all into the vocals
I cannot BELIEVE this song is 5 years old! It still gives me goosebumps every single time.
I have never heard Jck conte without Natalie Dawn, It sound amazing!
fav song fr
Jack Conte I don't care what I'm gonna have to do to make you famous. I will make a bunch o money and people will feel this. Love you cutie
Love love love this song for all seven year
I am sitting here in my entertainment room just goofing off on my Macbook while watching the Football game the night before the election. I was on digg and some how I ended up on this excellent song. It actually moved me. I honestly looked it up on Google to see what CD it would be on. I would give my left nut to have the talent that you have. Thank you for an experience that was not intended.
No words to describe it... D= "Awesome" does not give you justice..
That's Jack Conte,learned so well
You are totally not afraid to show who you are when making your music!!! I totally love that!!!
1:32 sent genuine shivers down my spine. I'm always astounded by your voice and musical ability.
how dare you be so talented jack conte
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD ITS TOO GOOD
0:59 caught me off guard 😂
I was supposed to open for this guy when he came here, and then he cancelled last minute. worst moment of my life. I wanted to meet him more than ANYONE. amazing.
If today's commercial music industry was based on talent, Jack would be a fucking legend. Thanks for not selling out and for providing quality music.
12 years later and i still come back to this song
2018.
Still my favorite.
I love how animated you are. Seriously...Watching all your videos, with Natalie too, has totally made my last couple of days. You two are the perfect people to watch/listen to to get me out of this bad mood. =)
Thanks for the awesome!
If everyone could express themselves as well and as effectively as you do, there'd be so much less discontent in the world. You rock, man. I plan on doing music with you at some point in my life. I hope it'll happen.
Ich habe selten einen Mann so geil singen gehört!
your music is like beautified chaos. it's like standing in a rainbow. me likey. thank you!
i can beieve how much i watch your tunes
same studio! wish I could afford two, though, that'd be awesome!
yeah for sure, there's a lot going on at the end, so it is a little thick, but UA-cam plays the audio file in mono which clutters the sounds, and the compression adds to the muffling. I wish I could get the the audio to play in stereo!
wow... that's all i can say... wow.... i haven't felt that from a song in a long time
I can't count all the clever in that song,He puts out what every musician wishes they would of put out.I'm fine with that.Rock On Jack.
I listened to this song more than two years ago. I still think it is one of the greatest songs ever written.
I hope you can always maintain your allegiance to pure music. You know it when you hear it.
Hahaha thats so funny you say that, because the exact same thing happened to me the night i came across one of his videos. Sat up throughout the duration of the night and watched every single one.
I love this song. It's so powerful.
God, the raw emotion in this is palpable.
I really love your music Jack.
Plus you carry my future son's name.
how i LOVE your falsetto.
jack conte. you are brilliant.
10 stars.
x, kai
Still playing this 13 years strong
you are in the music.
that is awesome.
i love the watching you sing.
this one's my favorite I think
Very few things blow my mind. but this song succeeded in doing so. The video aspect of it complimented the song very well in its originality and in portraying the singer's emotion. On the other hand, I can't think of anything visual that would truly do this song justice (I'm not an artist).
