i turned 19 this year, i remember when this video came out and i think i’ll keep coming back to it forever. you are a genius and i hope i never forget the way your music has made me feel while i grow up
ahh shite, here he is again. back with it with the consecutive and relatively entertaining hot, fresh content. keep it up, you procrastinating mug. (p.s. 'preciate the recent uploads, keep the short videos up, mate.)
I like this song it has this nostalgic feeling to it like you're in a dream, a never ending dream where you're a kid again and the day just keeps resting when you go to sleep you live that day all over again - dan
The lyric "I'm so tired of being my mother's broken boy" really speaks with me. I worked as a fire fighter and EMT at a very young age for 5 years. It threw me into depression, suicidal thoughts, and the will to be a better person. It killed my mother to see myself working so much and being miserable. I went back to school and am working on my PhD. I feel like I am not longer my mother's broken boy. But for about 10 years I really was her broken boy. Thank you for that specific lyric. But This is an amazing song. I wish it was on iTunes. Thanks again Ollie.
I remember the first time I saw this, little ollie's face faded into view and I started crying so hard. He's such a sweet and kind person and I'm so glad that he's doing okay
I just started my last semester of pre-university and I'm going to be headed to uni soon so I'm starting to feel real nostalgic about all the people I love who I'm going to leave or not see often. So this song really hit me hard Ollie thanks
i can't sympathise with you since I have no close friends besides a couple of replaceable acquaintances and also due to the fact that I have no intention of having any close friends, but what I can say to you is: good luck with your uni life, you non-procrastinating mug goblin.
I want to thank you for making your music, I've had a real hard time recently, my brother is suicidal, I have very few people in my life and feel like giving up myself at times. you inspired me to keep playing piano cause it's a therapeutic thing for me. I'm hoping to someday post my own Music and see if anyone likes it. you're the best
i'm really sorry to hear that - if piano is an escape for you then definitely keep on playing. i hope things get better soon, look after yourself my friend
Ollie we miss you..i hope you're okay.. I've been listening for around a year and I have all the content memorized. I just hope everything is alright. :)
Ollie, you have no idea how much your honesty means to me. Thank you for baring your soul to the world. It makes countless others(including me) feel a little less alone. Sending you lots of love from India
since I am below the age of being able to work in a cafe and selling a lung on ebay, i dearly apologise for not giving you any of that deserved hot fresh pounds, but as I live and breathe, I will pledge my remaining buttons and paperclips to help you out. anyways, I'd recommend allowing patrons to get access to free downloads and exclusive songs just like how Eva Dawson pointed it out, but I'd assume that everyone would be genuinely satisfied with a little bit of that livestreaming action. oh, and make sure to have your feline companion with you.
I've been crying to this song for the past few hours. "I'm so tired of being my mother's broken boy" has to be my favourite line, close to "why can't now be more like then". Thank you for creating
nice tiara, m8 On a more serious note: if you start this thing on Patreon I'll have to find a job and stop being broke all the time so I can enjoy hot n fresh content. On an even more serious note: please do it but also please avoid the pressure that might come with it and just do your thing also I've been commenting too much and feel like a creep I've contributed enough bye
I still watch these videos because I still support you so much and I understand where you come from. You seem so loved by your family and depression just takes over so aggressively. I love your music.
Ollie's this kind of person that you hang with when the world becomes too much and you want to be with someone who won't question anything and you two just kinda sit together enjoying the company but there is no pressure to talk or interact. Like honestly person goals need me a freak like that
I'm in class right now listening to this so feel special that I'm risking getting in trouble to listen to your beautiful voice. as always a wonderful doodad and I've been waiting on it ever since you posted little snippets on your snap and such. lovely as ever and love you
ALSO Patreon would be so nice!! I'm broke as shiiiiiite but I'll still send over a little bit every month bc you're worth it! your songs are great so any thing you give back to us will be received wonderfully(at least from me)!
BUT BUT BUT if you want an idea for what to give back with the Patreon, a full version of your promiscuous remix would be AMAZING (I need to stop I'm talking too much lo siento)
I don't understand how you can just come up with such meaningful lyrics in one night. This song sounds like it was perfected over at least a few weeks man
hi. i really love your songs. i havent been in a good mood lately but i am doing better an your music has helped me get through it. thank you for your time to make such great music.❤
I feel kind of bad enjoying songs of yours that seem to (more or less) focus on your own sadness and stuff, but I also love seeing you upload more and venture into new creative areas. keep up the good work!
+Kristina Barksdale don't feel bad my friend, i want them to be enjoyed! might as well get something positive out of feeling down eh? thank you for the kind words
I would support your patreon, I don't know a reward I'd want besides you being you and being able to make hot fresh content for all of us :) keep up the amazing work mate!
My dad converted all of our old tapes into video files and put em on google drive, and it put me in such a messed up state for weeks. This song captures that feeling so beautifully and accurately, so thank you Ollie!
always come back to your music when its getting bad again (that does not sound like a compliment but it is regardless) i appreciate you an your music ollie, always will
ollie!! this was so beautiful! question tho - is there any chance you could put up the tab or chords to your lil ditties because i'd love to learn how to play them! i know this might be a little tedious or someone else may have already tabbed them somewhere so if anyone knows where i can find em please let me know!! thank you :~)
I can't be the only one who listens to Ollie late at night and daydream if of the hasbeens and the future. If only I could be with her to show her this wonderful world I've made
Is it too much to ask to have you position yourself ever so slightly to have your entire guitar in frame? As a musician I'd love to learn how to play your beautiful compositions. Cheers!
I don't think you'd believe me saying your music is more beautiful than most I've listened to before tonight, but like nostalgia it's seductive, sad and cuts right through
this is 2021. im just lost, trying to find a will to live. but i stumbled across your account and it made me feel alright somehow. thanks for being you. thanks for creating music. i hope you're doing well ollie
Ollie MN okay fair enough. but yeah tutorials sound awesome. idk dude just do things that make you feel even remotely okay and I'll be ecstatic that you're posting
You're such a sweet guy for going through all these comments and listening to your fans, trying to accommodate everybody. Getting a small comment back probably makes every one feel so loved by the creator we choose to listen to, so thanks for being a good guy :) we love ya!! Also I'd be interested in some exclusive content and being able to help you out as a human, I look forward to it.
I'm quite new to your channel but found out you've been MIA for quite a while now. I've been dealing with some stuff and your music has definitely made me feel alot better. Got your music on repeat! anyways thank you for making such beautiful music my friend and hope you're okay.
"i'm so tired of being my mother's broken boy" ollie this line broke ME!! how dare you!!! this song gives me so many emotions it's hard to portray in words. thank you for this. i love u so much
dude...i found your channel like twenty minutes ago and you made me cry by the combo of this song + your birthday + (especially) the clip of you and your dad(?) giving you a piggyback ride into the sunset.
your songs have a certain aesthetic that i really really love they're all like late night watching cities move around you and I can't quite put it into words but yeah
This is 10/10 and you've sent the nostalgia down the line. It's midnight here in Melbourne and I'm sat here in the dark just thinking about time. Honestly, job well done ❤️
It's hard being someone that is stuck in a certain time. Feeling it will never be the same. Wanting to go back. Feeling like I took it for granted when times were better. Great song! I love it:)
i legit cried. my g o d ollie this is too good. the little video of you warmed my fragile heart. thank you for always lighting up my late night drawing binges. love you dude, keep creating.
Why am I crying? Well, because i feel the same. That's kind of wonderful and sad that people like you express these complex feelings into creative and beautiful songs. I'll go back to drowning in my own childhood memories. Thank you.
This is definitely one of my favorites of Ollie's and it is solely because of the last line in the song plus the video of small goblin Ollie talking about hamburgers.
"I am a fun person! I'm very fun to be around!" Said by Ollie right after talking about depressing shit. I have never related more to a set of sentences in my life
been a huge fan of yours since the vine days, & I remember consantly listening to your 7 second loops always wishing they were longer. never stop doing what you're doing. you'll always have my support, ollie
Thank you. This is the music I have been searching for. Something to feel, something to understand life, someone to relate to. This music is beautiful and helps fill the void. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
I've always been a nostalgic guy, especially living in a country like Venezuela where the best moments that every citizen had were in the past. Watching that lil' swamp boi made me remember when times were so easy and everyone was happy. Now everything is so fucked up and confusing
"I am a fun person, I want to make that clear" me pouring out all my sadness onto a stranger
Jess De Medeiros saaaaaammmmmmmmeeeeeee
Jess De Medeiros YES SAME
SHIT SAME
effective self promotion 👌👌👌
Jess De Medeiros, 😂😂😂😂SO TRUE ON MY PART
the coolest swamp boi in the swamp
+Jasmine Hunt shrek is gonna be pissed when he reads this
Ollie now you have to say, "GET OUT OF MY SWAMP!"
that clip where ollie was celebrating his 3rd anniversary of being alive soothed my soul. what a cute little goblin.
HE'S SO TINY AND CUTE I WANTED TO CRY😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔
INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE SELF PROMOTION
agreed!
It's super effective!
EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE SELF PROMOTION!!!!!
Could you please do a full cover of god only knows by the beach boys? I remember your vine of it and it was beat.

+Yasmine Schafer thanks yasmine! i'm proud of you too
Ollie MN how the hell did u make it awkward on the internet? still luv u
my name's Yasmine Schaeffer Lloyd what the heck this is the first time ive seen someone with a name similar to mine lmao

A nice message from a pretty girl means more than you realise. Trust me it hasn't happened to me but it'd feel great.
Please warn me before I click on your content. I almost burned myself it was so hot and fresh.
+nicsta1000 in the future please equip yourself with protective clothing before handling my content
ollie your lyrics are magical
+itsonlyemily i sorta hate them but i'm glad you do not. thanks!
Ollie MN :))
Yes please!
Going to sound so cliche, but your voice soothes my soul
I've been violently ill all morning and this has healed me. Okay, that's not true, but it's still great.
+Rachel Smith i'm sorry i couldn't fully heal you but get well soon pal
Rachel Smith I'm really sick today
i should not be coming back to this right now
you're the reason I'm actually alive, I hope you're okay
you're great and i love all of your songs. i do hope you're okay.
i turned 19 this year, i remember when this video came out and i think i’ll keep coming back to it forever. you are a genius and i hope i never forget the way your music has made me feel while i grow up
ahh shite, here he is again. back with it with the consecutive and relatively entertaining hot, fresh content. keep it up, you procrastinating mug.
(p.s. 'preciate the recent uploads, keep the short videos up, mate.)
I like this song it has this nostalgic feeling to it like you're in a dream, a never ending dream where you're a kid again and the day just keeps resting when you go to sleep you live that day all over again - dan
The ironic happiness these videos bring me is unfathomable.
i've seen you smile more than i've seen my father's face
kgabe is it because he was always hugging you?
same man, same
The lyric "I'm so tired of being my mother's broken boy" really speaks with me. I worked as a fire fighter and EMT at a very young age for 5 years. It threw me into depression, suicidal thoughts, and the will to be a better person. It killed my mother to see myself working so much and being miserable. I went back to school and am working on my PhD. I feel like I am not longer my mother's broken boy. But for about 10 years I really was her broken boy. Thank you for that specific lyric. But This is an amazing song. I wish it was on iTunes. Thanks again Ollie.
good luck at what youre doing now man
I remember the first time I saw this, little ollie's face faded into view and I started crying so hard. He's such a sweet and kind person and I'm so glad that he's doing okay
He has such a calming voice, it's truly beautiful
This song just hits different when u urself are in a nostalgic fragile mood
thank you for existing, Ollie
"I'm so tired of being my mother's broken boy"- oh no why are my eyes sweating
I honestly love you very much.
he's so pure it hurts ahhhhh
I just started my last semester of pre-university and I'm going to be headed to uni soon so I'm starting to feel real nostalgic about all the people I love who I'm going to leave or not see often. So this song really hit me hard Ollie thanks

YA DINGUS thank you very much!!!
p.s. mug goblin is probably the best thing I have ever been called
no probs pal.
YA DINGUS i can relate
I want to thank you for making your music, I've had a real hard time recently, my brother is suicidal, I have very few people in my life and feel like giving up myself at times. you inspired me to keep playing piano cause it's a therapeutic thing for me.

Ollie, you have no idea how much your honesty means to me. Thank you for baring your soul to the world. It makes countless others(including me) feel a little less alone. Sending you lots of love from India
Did you forget us? How are we going to survive without hearing your perfect voice again? Please come back!
When I saw Ollie celebrating his 3rd birthday my heart just melted. Ollie is growing up to be an amazing man and singer ❤️
yes yes yes to the Patreon!! Would love to get free downloads and exclusive songs as rewards and maybe some tutorials how you go about making a song?
+Eva Dawson that sounds good to me! thanks for the feedback, i'm just trying to set it all up at the moment so i appreciate it
since I am below the age of being able to work in a cafe and selling a lung on ebay, i dearly apologise for not giving you any of that deserved hot fresh pounds, but as I live and breathe, I will pledge my remaining buttons and paperclips to help you out.

"If you are someone with a fragile emotional state" OH THATS ME
Is it weird that I cried a little bit listening to this? It's not even sad, it's just so extremely relatable and beautiful at the same time.
EFFECTIVE SELF PROMOTION is scientifically proven the effectivest self promotion technique
experts agree
Ollie's this kind of person that you hang with when the world becomes too much and you want to be with someone who won't question anything and you two just kinda sit together enjoying the company but there is no pressure to talk or interact. Like honestly person goals need me a freak like that

+Paige B sort of insulted you didn't stand up in the middle of class and force your teacher hand over the aux cord but fine whatever
Ollie MN you know what I would have but I feel my class wouldn't have appreciated your majestic ways too bad so sad I'm in a class full of uncultureds
ALSO Patreon would be so nice!! I'm broke as shiiiiiite but I'll still send over a little bit every month bc you're worth it! your songs are great so any thing you give back to us will be received wonderfully(at least from me)!

EFFECTIVE SELF PROMOTION
His songs somehow make me feel both sad and safe.
HOT AND FRESH CONTENT
always come back to your music when its getting bad again (that does not sound like a compliment but it is regardless) i appreciate you an your music ollie, always will
I miss ollie :(
For almost a year now this song, without fail, has made me emotional every time I’ve come back to listen to it
ollie!! this was so beautiful! question tho - is there any chance you could put up the tab or chords to your lil ditties because i'd love to learn how to play them! i know this might be a little tedious or someone else may have already tabbed them somewhere so if anyone knows where i can find em please let me know!! thank you :~)
+caroline i'll try to get this done! sorry, it just takes a lil while but lots of people have asked so i'll get round to it
dont give it away for free business man ollie, make tabs and all available for the lower payments on patreon maybe
I can't be the only one who listens to Ollie late at night and daydream if of the hasbeens and the future. If only I could be with her to show her this wonderful world I've made
Is it too much to ask to have you position yourself ever so slightly to have your entire guitar in frame? As a musician I'd love to learn how to play your beautiful compositions. Cheers!
+whatupmyasian yes of course, sorry i'll try to remember next time!
I don't think you'd believe me saying your music is more beautiful than most I've listened to before tonight, but like nostalgia it's seductive, sad and cuts right through
vintage vibes ✨
Every time I listen to this song and it fades into the video of his birthday I start crying and idk why.
you are my aesthetic
I wanna cry every time he says “I’m tired of being my mother’s broken boy”
wow im early and youre still amazing!!
this is 2021. im just lost, trying to find a will to live. but i stumbled across your account and it made me feel alright somehow. thanks for being you. thanks for creating music. i hope you're doing well ollie
0:49 :)
It's 6:30 in the morning and your voice makes me want to cry.
what a beaut!
"I'm so tired of being my mother's broken boy". God i feel that
that's an ovation, right? how much did it run ya? i've a celebrity & it was €1,000-ish when i got it.. its basic af and yours is beautiful
+Noah Barrett i must confess it's actually my girlfriend's but i've pretty much stolen it
I'd be pissed
Ollie MN you have a girlfriend? That's wonderful
songs don't normally make me tear up or cry but this one did....
I'll be a Patreon ollie omg and livestreams and tutorials sound really nice. But can I just pay you for being alive???
+Erin Crooks haha i think it's only fair to give you some hot n fresh content in return
Ollie MN okay fair enough. but yeah tutorials sound awesome. idk dude just do things that make you feel even remotely okay and I'll be ecstatic that you're posting
You're such a sweet guy for going through all these comments and listening to your fans, trying to accommodate everybody. Getting a small comment back probably makes every one feel so loved by the creator we choose to listen to, so thanks for being a good guy :) we love ya!!

This song takes me back to when everything was easy and simple
i started crying when i saw those little vids of Ollie. So much Nostalgia, too much feels
"i'm so tired of being my mother's broken boy" ollie this line broke ME!! how dare you!!! this song gives me so many emotions it's hard to portray in words. thank you for this. i love u so much
dude...i found your channel like twenty minutes ago and you made me cry by the combo of this song + your birthday + (especially) the clip of you and your dad(?) giving you a piggyback ride into the sunset.

+Fatima M thank you!
It's hard being someone that is stuck in a certain time. Feeling it will never be the same. Wanting to go back. Feeling like I took it for granted when times were better. Great song! I love it:)
man this got recommended to me right when i'm knee deep in nostalgia, this is such a gorgeous song
3 years and still no songs or voice better than his ever existed.
i legit cried. my g o d ollie this is too good. the little video of you warmed my fragile heart. thank you for always lighting up my late night drawing binges. love you dude, keep creating.
Looks like he just got done crying, but that might be me. He is my favorite sad British swamp boye
Why am I crying? Well, because i feel the same. That's kind of wonderful and sad that people like you express these complex feelings into creative and beautiful songs. I'll go back to drowning in my own childhood memories. Thank you.
Seeing a tiny hooman version of Ollie made my heart almost die from the cuteness
those faces llive in old cassetes and they fade like smoke from cigarettes
This is definitely one of my favorites of Ollie's and it is solely because of the last line in the song plus the video of small goblin Ollie talking about hamburgers.
also I was on lunch at work and just so happened to be listening to sad boy with a guitar when I got the notification. good work.
there's something really unsettling, yet also extremely soothing about your music.
I am in a really bad place right now and this made me cry
I really do appreciate your humour, not to mention the talent you have musically and lyrically
EFFECTIVE SELF PROMOTION (and also lots of love. this one really hits home. thank you)
"I am a fun person! I'm very fun to be around!" Said by Ollie right after talking about depressing shit. I have never related more to a set of sentences in my life
I don’t know why I feel like I know you personally but I love it.
EVERY INTRO IS DIFFERENT AND BEAUTIFUL I LOVE THEM
been a huge fan of yours since the vine days, & I remember consantly listening to your 7 second loops always wishing they were longer. never stop doing what you're doing. you'll always have my support, ollie
"I AM A FUN PERSON!" says Ollie, the british sad boy who manages to make everyone around the world enjoy him and his music and his emo soul.
Thank you. This is the music I have been searching for. Something to feel, something to understand life, someone to relate to. This music is beautiful and helps fill the void. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
I've always been a nostalgic guy, especially living in a country like Venezuela where the best moments that every citizen had were in the past. Watching that lil' swamp boi made me remember when times were so easy and everyone was happy. Now everything is so fucked up and confusing
