    Yotam, your animations were some of the first things me and my brother found when we started browsing for content online, and we still enjoy them tremendously.
    I love how this one is a little bit sad, a little bit happy, but 100% something we will watch when we are older and remember it fondly.
    Hope you always feel you have a reason for putting out your stuff!

  • @MrDanINSANE

  • @Pandsu
    @Pandsu 10 років тому +111

    I'm starting to feel kinda bad about enjoying these so much and having them be a thing I legitimately am looking forward to more than I have ever been to my own birthday. Every year around New Years, when I think about what kinda stuff I'm looking forward to that upcoming year, your birthday song comes to mind and listen to all of them again, wondering what the next one's gonna be like, because they tend to really hit me on a deep, personal level.
    It's weird, actually. Because I too hate reflecting on my own life because I'm moving forward in life much less, despite being 2,5 years older than you. Pretty much any topic, aside from the Army one, but I had a similar thing where I thought I had to go to prison for nothing, or when I had to live a few years in orphanages and similar places, are problems I have too, but I feel like I'm much worse off. So when I listen to these less-than-cheery songs, seeing how you seem to be much farther in life, how you actually seem like much more of an adult than me, fitting his life and his roles at least a little more than I do (just judging from these songs and your videos, of course), but still you have similar feelings as I do about your life, it makes me despair even more, losing hope more and more that I will ever feel happy because I don't expect to even reach your level, let alone surpass it. So if you're not happy with where you are, then how am I ever supposed to be?
    Yet, I enjoy these so much. Yet, they are so important to me. Yet they make me feel less alone, find a way to put it into words in ways I never could. They give me hope in the sense that I just see how much I respect you as an artist and that these things, these depressing thoughts of yours have translated into beautiful art resonating with thousands of people, entertaining them, so, for what it's worth, there's some good that came from it.
    And they make me hope that maybe, one day, I can turn my despair into something good, too, even if that hope dwindles with every year because at the age of 25 it's about time to at least START finding something of my own, something that I am good at, that I can use as an outlet. Though maybe there already is some good in all of it for me too and I just haven't realized it yet.
    Now I don't know if this comment helped at all, since I'm being a huge part of "the problem" here, but I just wanted to let you know that all of it goes somewhere important and definitely didn't go to waste. And I wanted to thank you for that.
    "Happy" Birthday, Yotam!
    Now where's my paycheck?

    Keeping up with the tradition of listening to the appropriate song when I turn the titular age. Thanks for doing all of these, Yotam.

  • @Jraddy
    @Jraddy 9 років тому +65

    What I find so fascinating about these songs is how life starts to change as you get older. Not in a good or bad way, but just how we look at things one year at a time, until we finally stop and just look at it as one big life. And although, I was always kind of told that, it never seemed to make as much sense as it does with these videos. As a teen, you focus on the dumber aspects like, "Ugh, I'm older so I just don't care anymore." But once you reach your 20s, things get heavy. "Do I need a big job now?" "Can I still work at a grocery store or is that pathetic?" "Are my parents mad at me for still living with them?" But once you get over those fears at first, it becomes less of a huge deal and more a long process you either get over someday or live with because it's not *that* bad. Some years we'll have the same trouble as we did the year before and maybe we'll just live with them, like a dirty, old jacket.
    God... your videos are a rare breed where I really feel something out of them. I dunno what, but I like it a lot!

    • @aarongtr180
      @aarongtr180 10 років тому

      That wasn't a mistake, it was just an extra strum. It happens again a little later into the song.

    • @SpaceBreakdown
      @SpaceBreakdown 10 років тому

      Well, I don't know anything about playing the guitar and yeah I did notice it happened later too. And it wasn't an actual mistake, it was of course a purposeful mistake. But he did animate him looking down at the guitar and playing the extra strum, so I like to think of it as a "purposeful mistake".

  • @thomasolsen9864

    I get a Daft feel outta your songs. The more I listen to them the more I feel them and the more I realize how freaking awesome they are. You may not know it yet, but you're a musical genius and if you ever stop making animations you should make music.

    Yotam, if you're sick of doing these, please don't feel like you're forced to. I greatly enjoy them every year, but I'd be just fine if you stopped them until you feel you have something to say. In any case, happy birthday! I hope you have a lot of fun and get awesome gifts! :)

    This was the first birthday video I saw from you as soon as it came out. I love these, they're catchy and honest to us. Even a 14 year old turning 15 in a few days like me can relate to this. Through these I get a understanding of how you're feeling and what you're like deep down inside. It's some of your best work. I hope you figure out what to do with these birthday videos and good luck in the future. :)

    Happy birthday Yotam, even though everything sounds depressing(as years passed by). Since you're 3 years older than I am, it feels kind of nice playing the older ones whenever I hit that age cause they somehow kinda like maybe sum-up-my-life-until-that-point-ish-maybe? Anywho, take your time in the animation and keep up whatever you're doing buddy~

  • @inkdulce
    @inkdulce 10 років тому

    I love these Birthday Videos because we are the same age and each year they perfectly seem to summarize how I feel about getting older and reflecting on the past.

    Oh man another one, Just a month before my own 23th birthday and a day after I got out of the army.
    Just like last year and the year before it.
    Three years ago I watched it on my cellphone outside of my boot camp tent a day or two after I got drafted.
    The last few years I felt like my life was completely different than yours but this year's video hits close to home.
    To be honest I'm surprised I'm still alive.

    Been watching since the Newground days of yore.
    I just want to say that I've grown up with your videos, and each birthday I tend to feel the same way as what you write about going through these stages of life. It's kind of nice to know I'm not too far from other people.
    That being said, if it's a chore, don't worry about making them. I think we'll like whatever you decide to make.The fans stick around because of you and your big ol' brain. Happy Belated Birthday anyways!

    As someone who also creates things, i know how you feel about having to just keep doing something just because it's expected of you. It really takes all the fun out of it. On the other hand, as a viewer i enjoy that your lyrics are very sincere and give us a glimpse into that darker side of a project like this.
    As a fellow creative type, i say take a break from it and pursue something your excited about.
    As a fan, i desperately want to see me more nameless.

      the fact that *literally* the only reason i had to learn this shit is because it *might* be in the exams... or the fact that i had to learn this in art school...

      If you're old enough to be taking math tests you should definitely know by now that life is just the slow, inexorable march towards unescapable death. Your life is merely a novel, and your birth and death are the front and back covers. Do the characters in a novel fear the end of the novel, and the back cover being closed? I think not. Death is merely the sunset of our lives, the closing of the cover of the novel that is our lives and that we will not experience, because it will be over. You must learn to accept the sad inevitability of all human fate if you expect to find peace within your own life. We will all die and the only solace we have is the few bright moments of happiness in the long, boring, inexorable slog of life.
      Cherish those moments, for the fleeting, eternity-denying, existential bastardized misunderstandings that they are. There is no hope. There is no love. There is no joy.
      There is only death. Just as Yotam marches day by day and year by year towards death, so do we all; one day closer to death, every day.

    This may be weird, but my favorite birthday of yours is probably the 21st... then I saw this video and it's even better, but I love this song on 1.5 speed even more. Either way, thank you for the content and thanks for mark I look forward to ever year to look back on stuff. You are my yearly calender Yotam. Enjoy that.
