HELL YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Incredibly sad story incoming:
In college, I listened to Baby Hotline as a pick me up. I knew it was a sad song, but I liked it. It's a good song. I pause in the middle of my campus hallway to find several of my fellow students crying. I'm lost, confused. I stop to ask what's going on, and they ask me if I'd seen the email.
The day before, my Sociology teacher hadn't ever shown up. It was very unlike him, he was an incredibly organized man. I was worried, so I called the campus security about it and alerted the head of the department.
Well, that email, confirmed he'd passed away. He'd taken his life the day before, and the department had called his family, who also hadn't heard from him, so the campus called the police. That's when they found him.
I remember standing there in shock, holding onto my phone, Baby Hotline playing. The song had taken a new meaning in the moment. I just couldn't stop the tears. I couldn't even take my headphones off as I broke down in the middle of the hallway.
I miss you Kyle. We all miss you. You changed our lives in wonderful ways. I will always think of you and your girls when I listen to this song.
Baby hotline please hold me close to you
@@larissascatena4111baby snack time still time to do it too (Ha-Ha-Ha)
Man im so sorry that sounds like it hurt a *lot*
@@TordParker2.0 thank you so much. He was such a brilliant man and all I can do now is share my memories of him being a wonderful teacher, father and mentor to his students and children.
When the English teacher analyzes the poem:
LMAO
this is SO true
"John ate spaghetti."
The English teacher:"Now as you can see, spaghetti is like rope. And rope is related to hanging. So John is suicidal."
@@Waltnut The line also says
John ate spaghetti, which means that John has gotten over his suicidal thoughts.
I remember learning ‘My Last Duchess’ and thinking something was up but it was probably nothing weird.
Then the teacher writes three paragraphs on how a man killed his wife in Italy.
the beat of being on hold on a suicide hotline is so real and almost got myself and many others killed.
If my English Teacher made me go deep into this instead of a random sentence in a book, I would have got good grades in English
Because you can copy off this guy
@@kabuteramongold2506 I think they meant that they can relate to this text way more easily than some random text given by a teacher, as it's way more recent and relatable
The saddest part is that that’s probably the hotline call since if someone does something annoying constantly you start to worry once they stop(such as calling). The operator expects her to call so when she doesn’t they start to worry
The “I contend that your drinking eyes never open” line could also be a reference to the fact that a person who close their eyes while drinking is in pain or discomfort

The audio for that video should be muffled to simulate a house party you’re not invited to
@@glitchingeclipse9850 what did bro do 😭
@@hammytheman1079 no it’s because that’s what pinkerton is about
@@glitchingeclipse9850 oh I thought you were just insulting people
@@hammytheman1079 what type of person would insult another person on youtube based on being invited to house parties
I also like took most of the comment from another video about the weezer cruise :skull:
Jack stauber has always intrigued me. The disturbing yet meaningful nature of his music is just so cool. And the music is good too so that's a bonus.
Also Jack stauber balls.
as a former member of the jack stauber content creator community, i really recommend you analyse fighter, such a pressing story about domestic abuse (cannibal reference???)
FIGHTER HAS A STORY??? honestly should of known
i was a willing victim of a cannibal
Fighter is such a good song, but I always struggled to find the meaning of it and its lyrics
@@whoamiatthispointShe rips out my bones
@@g3n4v1v3 like im an animal (rob is a furry???? confirmed??????)
Just before "Baby hotline, Please dail nine to get out" there is a quiet voice that says "oh uh, ill try again". just if you missed it!
I texted the emergency number once, didnt help at all. the next day my parents were mad at me and found out I had relapsed, and the angry conversation they had with me was enough to make me relapse again. I love this song, it makes me feel comforted and like im not alone. im still here, 2 months clean now. keep fighting.
As a person who listens to a lot of jack Stauber music, thank you for covering this! Baby Hotline is something some people need to look into before using it for happy TikTok’s (yes I’ve seen that happen.)
Omg it's profily
yessir
hi profily @@Not-Mikara

Ive been on antidepressants for some years now, and working on coping mechanisms, and ill tell you. Coping SUCKS because its HARD. And antidepressants feel weird when you first start them because you get so used to how depression feels that when you DONT feel those depression symptoms (at least not to the extreme you did before) it feels like youre completely numb and emotionless. Coping sucks because the bad coping mechanisms (self harm, addiction, etc) are so much easier to do than the good ones because its so much easier to 'indulge' in your dark thoughts and feelings than it is to actively fight against them

This is such a tragic and eerie song. Im rly glad you did an analysis on it and I hope you do more of Jack Stauber's songs!
HELP I LOVE TALLY HALL AND JACK STAUBER THIS IS HEAVEN
love jack stauber, and its nice seeing you covering him :3
woah, I've never seen such a thorough but concise breakdown of jack stauber's work before. this video felt like a bit like a crash course on Baby Hotline and the story that's embedded in its lyrics. I'm going to keep this lyrical dissection in mind in the future when I listen to this song again, since I really enjoyed the interpretation of it. I hadn't found any particular meaning to the lyrics before this, as I struggled finding ways to connect each of the verses together to form a coherent storyline, however watching this video changed that. Thank you, comrade ( •̀ ω •́ )✧!!
Baby hotline and miracle musical go hand and hand, both having fun tunes with darker lyrics than you can imagine
When the History Teacher almost cry after he Telling his Life story:
Damn I never expected someone like you to make an analysis on Jack Stauber!, if you're planning on making more of these I absolutely recommend songs such as "Dinner Is Not Over (the full version)" or possibly even "Those Eggs Aren't Dippy (again, the full version)", personally I'm a huge Jack Stauber and I'd love to see your perspectives on these amazing songs!
AGHHHHHHH I LOVE JACK STAUBER!!! You should analyze those eggs aren’t dippy or out the ox. They’re some of my favorite songs from Jack Stauber and I would love to see them looked over.
Oh Klahoma and Baby Hotline always manages to make me cry. Those songs perfectly describes my anxiety and depression.
Tallyball? More like jack stauber balls 🤣🤣🫵🫵
AHH yess!! jack stauber is great, occasional non-tallyhall content is always amazing
There is one little moment I noticed, the line "She's a hoarder, of quarters."
Hoar in Hoarder is dragged out in such a way that it sounds like another word, and there's a vaguely brief pause between "She's a HOARder" and "Of quarters". That along with the visuals of Baby being seemingly unclothed and surrounded by money, makes me believe she feels like a "hoarder" with how many times she's called. Even though she's the one exchanging money, she's also the one exposing herself, and being humiliated by the one she's basically doing business with as they may laugh at her and make her feel degraded. It's possible it's an insult that's been thrown at her before, maybe even by someone at the other end before because she called so much and used so much money calling.
Or it may be she's either works or use to work like that before, or had a bad experience that makes her think of herself that way, and it's part of why she's in such a bad mental state.
I love that the moment I start my Jack Stauber hyperfixation, you make a video on one of my favorite songs
This is so beautiful I started crying pills
You're going to throw me back into my Jack Stauber phase... I'm not complaining. I also never noticed the double meaning of "hung up and put on hold"!
Ive never seen what stauber looked like irl and gawdamn
3:47 Litteral shivers went down my spine at this part
thanks to this video, i serched more about Stauber cause i was like "how come i dont know him? and i realize that i already have lots of his songs to my playlists with tally hall and all. So.. thanks man for this vid, you helped me get to know Jack a lot better:)
FINALLY A JACK STAUBER ANALYSIS THANK YOUUU THIS WAS GREAT
excellent, smart yet simple and straight to the point, loved hearing your analysis
Damn, i admire your level of insight to this song. I couldnt figure it all out myself. Your explenation is amazing
The laugh could be a kind of nervous laugh
i litteraly cried when i first learned that the meanings, now i learned it was a baby and i cried while thinking about my little cousin.
No it’s that people see her as a baby bec they see her as someone who’s crying for attention
YOOOOO (this'll be depressing)
edit: oh god, it very much was. no, but genuinely great video. i had read explanations of this song when it trended, but it never really sunk it. now it did. great job!
also, more like jack stauber balls
just wow so much depth in like 100 words
Can't wait to tune into my favourite channel jackstauber balls!!
OMG A VIDEO ABOUT NOT TALLY HALL, SUCH A CRIME, but i still loved it
Honestly.
This is the best theory I’ve heard yet.
Every thing matches up and explained, unlike other videos that talks about the same thing.
But this video is on a whole other level.
Thanks, Jack Stauber balls.
I always heard this song as an eerie, even without knowing the meaning. I don't know why.
So well explained!! Thank you for sharing
You should do Dinner is Not Over.
putting a thanks for watching right after describing the most traumatic story is insane
And this is why is my favourite song
I like to imagine "Baby" is Opal from his adult swim Opal short film when she's grown up and maybe the person who's "drinking eye is never open" could be her mom, dad or grandpa from Opal
I like this analysis. Most videos like this are very long and beat around the bush a lot, but you're more direct and to the point.
Ive loved this song and known it was about a darker theme but had no idea what it was- ty for this analysis! ❤
A jack stauber video on tallyball
In short jacks neighbor attempted to call a suicide hotline and they didn’t pick up so she killed herself
wait this was 20 hrs ago? PEOPLE STILL TALK ABOUT THIS SONG YES
me trying to explain the meaning of pinkerton songs to my friends:
and now it's used in a web series about living objects competing for a thing. Awesome!
Another thing I’d like to point out (which Im sure other has too), After Babys potential boyfriend finishes his part of the chorus. You can hear the words “Au revoir”. Au revoir means “Goodbye, until we meet again.” in french. My personal theory is that Baby’s boyfriend is subconsiously aware that Baby wont stick around for much longer, but yet hopes that it when she does go, It isn’t a final goodbye. That one day he’ll see her again, in a better state. (Like the lyric beforehand implies.)
Timestamp of "au revoir"?
Jesus christ this is to much information for my gold fish brain
no way tally ball upgraded to jackballs
The “hoarder of quarters” line could also be interpreted as *she never calls the hotline and therefore she has a lot of quarters* and her first experience with the hotline sped up her suicide progreesion
This could be it! She collected quarters to call, but didn't, and kept collecting quarters for that call til she eventually did and it went poorly deeming it a waste to of collected all those quarters when she finally started using them it only made things worse
I thought you were someone else and when I heard your voice I genuinely screamed.
I fucking love how deep a 5 minute song by Jack can be... in specially micropop
IM SO GLAD SOMEONES POSTING JACK STAUBER
My theory is there is no phone operator, but just Baby and a loved one's perspectives. The hotline meaning who she's dependent on giving her all the comfort she could ask for, but even that isn't enough to calm her anymore. "drinking eyes" could mean her wanting to cry but can't, drinking more meaning wanting water/tears to flow.
The second chorus switches to her loved one realizing she actually attempted and starts calling for an ambulance (dial nine/felt the wind). Thankfully in time to give her another chance to live too (no flatline). Hung up and put on hold could mean she didn't want them to stop her and stopped talking to them. The rest of the song switches back to her view, thinking all the help she's getting is wasted on her and already planning another attempt, this time faking feeling better so no one finds out (I feel so good/I won't say anymore).
"Hehe! Baby Hotline is a story of my life! Yay!"
Honestly, I’ve seen this video like five times and it’s still good
Thank you, Jack Stauber Balls. Thank you.
I wonder if Jack stauber videos will become the New Normal for tallyball
This interpretation is kinda specific and just based on my own experiences, but I always interpreted the song about a girl who is about to commit suicide due to a loved one dying. I might edit this comment later to elaborate if anyone is interested.
i knew it was about suicide but DAMN.
Awsum vid tal
The Jack Stauber lore is intensifying
YESSSS I LOVE JACK STAUBER!!!!
Yooo Jack stauber
Cacete, this is so heavy that if a whale gets above me now I'll say that is slight!
The outro was peak tonal whiplash after the video
i feel like every jack stauber song has a dark meaning behind them
wtf this makes so much sense
No wonder i love this song
I heard it all the time for years and just now I understand what it's referring to
OMGOMGOMG MOTHER TAL DID JAUCK STAUBER FINALLY!! Also- "upbeat" lol I mean, I guess
This reminds me of my 25th birthday where I sat on hold with 988 for 2 hours before I just hung up
Still waiting for the return of jack stauber
good video stauballs
I knew it was about that topic I just didn’t realise it was THAT dark
FINALLY JACK STAUBER WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yay Jack Stauber, thank Mr. Balls
no way I was listening to this last night thats crazy
Omg hawaii part 2 album on the back!
YAY I LOVE JACK :D
bludivious really ran out of tally hall songs to rant about
As a Jack Stauber fan i can conferm that a woman(Jacks Wife)was on the Suicide Hotline(which is why its named Baby Hotline). The frase "One day i will go back outside and see your okay" means that when jack dies he will hope to see her okay. The frase "Baby flatline" ment that she did kill herself. The frase "Shes a hoarder of quarter's" means that she used quarters to call the hotline on a payphone. The frase " I can insense somebody will die and i hate hoping" means that Jack might have forced her to kill herself so he could make more creepy animations.
So jacks wife is dead or is this just a dark fantasy from Jack?
Why would he kill his wife to make weird anims? You don't need to do that to make weird stuff. Liar liar pants on fire.
He said "I INSIST somebody will die I hate COPING"
Bros trnya get jack arrested.
I agree with most of it but it being Jack and his wife, they are fictional people like in his other work
I honestly see the song in a different Pov,
I see it as in the perspective of the person who Baby called, most of the points I agree with but the main reason why I see in the perspective that baby called is from the line "I insist somebody would die" which at first doesn't sound right cause it would be insisted, but at the start of dialogue it's insist instead of insisted so I think it's kind of similar and if combining the points you make it sounds like someone just was hired by the hotline and insists to everyone someone would die and they knew it was baby so they ignored them, then she died.
Also I heard instead of "hung up and put on hold" I heard "Your life was cut too short" which could be the boyfriend possibly
