"Listening to this EP is like time traveling, for us. Suddenly we’re back in the house we grew up in, all the furniture shoved up against the walls of an old bedroom so the guitars and drum set would fit.
As we planned this ten-year anniversary vinyl release, we wanted to revisit the song that effectively started our career, but we knew that we couldn’t just sing it the same way ten years later and still feel honest. A lot of growth and change can happen in ten years, so the performance needed to change, too. New chords, new harmonies, a pared-down arrangement, and fond recollections of all the times you sang along with us on the road have made Hello My Old Heart feel new to us for the first time in a decade. We hope it brings back some good memories for you, the way it has for us.”
Lyrics:
hello my old heart
how have you been
are you still there inside my chest?
I've been so worried
you've been so still
barely beating at all
oh, don't leave me here alone
don't tell me that we've grown
for having loved a little while
oh, I don't want to be alone
I want to find a home
and I want to share it with you
hello my old heart
it's been so long
since I've given you away
and every day I add another stone
to the walls I built around you
to keep you safe
hello my old heart
how have you been?
how is it, being locked away?
well don't you worry
in there, you're safe
and it's true, you'll never beat
but you'll never break
nothing lasts forever
some things aren't meant to be
but you'll never find the answer
until you set your old heart free
until you set your old heart free
sitting here on my bed and crying tears of pure joy. your songs have been with me through the darkest times of my life. thank you for everything, The Oh Hellos.
This song also came along when I was in a dark place too, hope your in a better place today ❤️
💙💚🤍🐾🍉✨
5ive years ago my son was born while this song was playing. It blessed our birth. Ty
It's a wonderful song
ill never forget the random guy in discord who played this song to me
I introduced my grandma to you guys and she fell in love with your music. I even got to take her to a concert. Hello my Old Heart was her favorite song. I lost her last year, listening to this made me feel connected to her again. Beautiful work.
I’m glad you got to live through such a beautiful connection with your grandma. Her energy is accessible to you now at all times, she is all around you. So much love.
You will always have this song with you. Your grandma is up in Heaven now, and she now is singing with God.
May her memory be a blessing.
I'm sorry to hear that. I know it's been a year since you left this comment but I hope you find her soon
How beautiful.
The original version reminds me of the story of somebody so petrified by heartbreak, and slowly breaking out of their shell and taking a chance on love.
This version... it's almost like a wedding song, and a reminder of where this person used to be all of that time ago.
10 YEARS????? I wish I found them sooner than quarantine lmao, this is a wonderful reimagining of one of my favourites. The Oh Hellos got me through all of 2020 and 2021, considering 4 of the 5 songs in my top 5, hell 9 of 10 of my top spotify songs were of The Oh Hellos, and Constellations was consistently featured as my top song. This band is absolutely wonderful
Yoo same! I found them in quarantine and constellations is my absolute favourite song by them
Same.
Same
Constellations is great, definitely my favorite song from Notos and one of my favorites overall, it’s impossible to pick a true favorite for me though :D
Another quarantine produced oh hellos fan here! Torches is my favourite however, it is difficult to choose. They're all so good!
The original sounds like the person singing is grieving loosing someone, while this one its like the future them has come that person to tell them its ok, even if the sadness still lingers. Its much more warmer and softer then the original. Congratulations on the 10 year anniversary and astounding work!
I like that... It's a nice interpretation.
the fact that this sounds so much happier than the original, yet still so sad, it really upholds what the description says
the first time i listened to this song was with my dad when i was helping him with something, and not only do i associate it with him, i associate it with how far i've come in the last three years. im still sad, but i feel so much happier now that i've "set my own heart free".
thank you. this song really opened my eyes..
Can I ask what you mean by setting your own heart free? Like was it something you overcame?
💛
The three things that still keep us going:
1) The Oh Hellos
2) Books that make no sense yet we enjoy them maybe too much
3) Linking the group's songs to scenes from the book
Oh my god you hit the nail right on the head
So all C. S. Lewis works 😂 the man was playing 4d chess with his words and i was playing checkers
This is one of those rare songs where the intro hits for less than 15 seconds or so and you're already immediately immersed knowing you've stumbled upon a timeless masterpiece that'll stick with you for life
I play a kobold Bard in D&D, and he's been through plenty in his 19 years. He's lost his old home, he's lost the people who took him in when he had nowhere else to go. Yet he still tries to keep positive and believe in the world that betrayed him, and although he kept that positive demeanor, he still began to keep himself from opening up to others, out of fear of it all happening again.
The first time he actually performed in front of the campaign's party was him finally deciding to try opening up to people again.
Hello My Old Heart was the song of choice.
And to this day I still don't think I could have possibly picked a better song.
That must have been such a wonderfull scene, i'm proud of your bard.
this is awesome, and such a sweet crossover of two of my favorite things lol
dear wormwood is basically the theme of one of my characters, ikane. she grew up in a secluded village and is born an elf to human parents. her family and village see it as a bad omen and punishment from the gods, and believe she is set to be the vessel for the god of calamity to return to flesh (not *suuuuper* encouraging to hear as a child).eventually she runs away in the night in her late teen years.she wanders around alone for a while and sprains her ankle, leading to a young woman and mentor of the cult of the mind’s eye finding her and taking her in. from there she gets taught by a hot warrior woman and learns about the teachings of the huntress, a lioness spirit the cult follows :)
it’s very DnD inspired but it has its own lore and world building and is just written by me but it follows her through her journey of self acceptance, and has a lot of found family, dealing with grief and abuse, and themes of religious extremism and misguided faith.
her story is very personal to me because she was created to process my own feelings and work through them. dear wormwood gave me the ability to express what i needed to.
have fun with your kobold character, i have a major soft spot for little characters in ttrpgs :)

Kobolds, dumb weak blind guys when enemys, powerful amazingly and cute guys when played. 💕
I was just talking to my friend who is also a big fan of the Oh Hellos and he said his favorite song ever was Hello My Old Heart
He's currently imploding from joy after I showed him that this just dropped a few seconds ago lol
Aw, that's really sweet :)
Y'know I can't help but feel the two Hello My Old Heart songs are like two different people with the same problem.
The original one started off with them singing like a heart beat, the first words started sadder like they were mourning. The old heart felt like something that was dying. During the bridge, the strength of the way it was sang was like a great breakthrough for the person to let themselves break for their heart to beat, for that to make them stronger and not weaker.
The newer one was more peaceful, the beginning sounds like they rushed to their old heart at the start, sounding more concerned. The bridge and the later half was peaceful, perhaps they were able to find rest in realizing that they have to let their heart live.
Either way they learned to grow around their grief, and rekindle their old heart to help them form a new one.
Maggie and Tyler, I want you to know that your music has made a very real impact in my life and is so deeply appreciated. I am thankful for the way God uses you two.
amen mate
Amen.
@maria Y Don't bother trying to understand fanatics
The difference between having listened to the original while I was single and now listening to bother versions of the song when I am NOT single is amazing. Your music brings me joy and I couldn't have clicked on the video sooner!
This song came out at honestly the perfect time. I've been in a horrible mental state from a breakup for almost a year now, and I think I'm ready to try and move on. Thank you for comforting so many people with your incredible music. Here's to more music to come!
Edit: the comments are proof that The Oh Hellos fans are some of the sweetest people in existence. I love you all 😭
hello, love. It’s hard isn’t it. Heartbreak is one of the worst things a human will ever have to experience. I am so proud of you for trying, darling. I can promise you that you are not alone. You will get through this. You are cared about. You are perfect. You are kind. You are loved. I love you, dearest
I'm really glad you're starting to feel ready to move on.
I hope better days are waiting for you just around the next corner😊
congratulations on beginning to feel ready. :) i wish you luck as you move on and find the love you deserve
same I've listened to the oh hellos very casually for the past few years, but here I am after my first heartbreak at 17 absolutely sad dancing to their music like an idiot. It's fantastic and I'm glad I've started listening to them more.
I can't believe it's been 10 years I'm bawling
it kind of feels like the song has little pieces of the wind EPs in it-
I absolutely love it. thank you so much for doing what you're doing and bringing us so much joy with it
It really shows how they have evolved over the years
The first time I heard this song, I started weeping- now y'all have somehow made it even MORE gorgeous and bittersweet. Or maybe it's colored by everything I've experienced between then and now. It's terrifying to open your heart to others again when you've already had to say goodbye to so many friends, or even had your heart smashed by people who weren't who you thought they were; but it's worth it to keep trying.
If an acorn stays in its shell, it'll stay safe. But then it'll never grow into an oak. It'll never risk the possibility of fire or axe, but it'll also never have roots, never drink the sunshine or rain, never have birds in its branches.
This came out at such a perfect moment for me. It’s coming up on 9 years since my first girlfriend passed away, and in the time since I’ve consistently been terrified of healthy relationships, just running into the most toxic people I could possibly find trying to almost punish myself for feeling anything for anyone after her. And for the first time, I’m realizing I’m not the kid I was when her and I were together. I’m not the kid I was who sat next to her through chemo, through pneumonia, who helped carry her casket. I grew up, I made it through high school, graduated top of my class in physics at UW, and started the path towards graduate education in atmospheric sciences. I’ve survived multiple toxic relationships, missed out on extremely healthy ones, fallen and gotten back up, buried my father figure and grew apart from countless friends. I tried closing myself off to humanity just to realize I love people too much, started volunteering with foster kids, and leading my own research team into the public health implications of climate change. I feel closer to that kind hearted, innocent boy than ever while also feeling the weight of age, a weird sentiment for someone who’ll be 23 at the end of the year. It’s such a bittersweet feeling, but even feeling happy with a tinge of sadness is incredible because for the first time in almost 9 years I’m letting myself feel something positive, knowing it can be ripped away at a moments notice and just cherishing it while it’s here. It’s truly incredible feeling to be alive again.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful story of growth and resilience. On a side note, HOW have you managed to accomplish so much in such a short time? You're 23??
Anyways, as someone who has also come through toxic relationships and is learning to connect with who I am underneath the scars, I resonated deeply with your words. I know exactly what you mean by feeling aged and yet more childlike (in the best way-full of love) than one has been in years. It's a feeling full of hope and joy, right? I hope that your joy only continues to grow and that your life grows richer every day, as it does now. And that one day you live among loving and supportive friends.
@@ave72 I appreciate the kind words, thank you. For what I’ve done so far, a lot of it just happened naturally. Being a post-bacc research assistant leaves me a weird amount of free time, far more than I had during my major, and I got the opportunity to help at a foster center my friend works at while they were short staffed. From there it just cascaded, I adore children and realizing how much love I had to give as well as how much love these kids lacked in their lives, it just felt like a good opportunity to heal each other a bit if that makes sense? As for leading my team, I can’t talk too much about it since the paper is not out of review yet but I led a small group of undergrads over the summer in an analysis of heat waves in the greater Seattle area and the results ended up being quite novel. My advisor felt like he could give me more responsibility, and since I want to go into climate policy he set me up with an interdisciplinary team with public health, ecology, and hydrology which I’m extremely grateful for :) I guess the one upside of coping through extreme amounts of work is that it shoves you a bit ahead of the curve (though at the cost of personal relationships, working on that)
Yes, exactly! Hope and joy, and fear and excitement and everything else. It’s all tinged with sadness, but it’s a sadness that feels ok to be felt if that makes sense? Like knowing it won’t cripple you to feel the losses, but instead allows you to cherish the time you have. I appreciate the well wishes and return them fully :) it’s a process to learn how to accept and trust love again, and I don’t know if I’ll ever fully be able to, but trying and failing and trying again is infinitely better than never trying at all :) nothing changes if nothing changes
speechless, wow. this is amazing
@@SS-tu6kc I hear so much career/college advice (I'm in undergrad), and much of it centers around finding work you like and making connections. It's very reassuring to see that that approach actually works, thanks. I'm focusing on it in undergrad (English and sci comm major), but I wasn't sure how to connect it to a career path. Honestly, I'm going to consider post-bacc research in either field now. Extreme work sounds difficult, but like something one can recover from. Also, you've inspired me to pursue volunteer tutoring. I want to make a difference in kids' lives too. I have wanted to for a long time and I just need to do it.
And wow, just wow. You perfectly described that emotion, which seems to grow out of so many singular ones. Thanks for the wishes. And yes, to learn to trust and love again is absolutely a process. It's so hard, and I fail time and time again...and yet, growth is progressing way faster than I imagined possible :)
PS. Thank you so much for this conversation. It's been incredibly meaningful and I've learned so much. Thank you again for all that you've shared and the care you put into responding. I completely understand if you've moved on and don't want to reply. Have a GREAT life. :)
@@ave72 I would've gotten back to this sooner, but life picked up as it tends to. A little update on the above: I'm officially starting a fully funded PhD-tracked masters in atmospheric sciences at UW in fall 22. I actually came back to this song today to calm my nerves before having a meet and greet with the team I'll be working with. I hope you're doing great and I hope you have a great life as well :)
Nearly started crying when I heard the first verse. I found the original seven years ago during one of the happiest times of my life, and so it has a lot of nostalgia power. I was in college back then, and now am a professional in my field. Today I had to take off work because I'm sick with a fever, and I hardly ever get sick...last time was about four years ago. So I was feeling downright crummy; sweating, in pain, itchy throat, and just browsing UA-cam to find something to distract me. I saw this was posted four hours ago. And like I said, I nearly started crying upon hearing the first line sung. This was a blessing, I think God may have sent this my way. Thank you.
I only got on the bandwagon in the last 2 years, but it's still been a wonderful 2 years. Your music has been a support for me since I've first heard it - I just wish I got to it sooner.
Cheers on the 10 years! May you be blessed with 10 more!
this is what falling in love all over again sounds like
". . . it's true, you'll never beat, but you'll never break . . ."
I doubt I'll ever forget these words, for my old heart has never been broken, but what a terrible price I've paid for that privilege.
“And it’s true- you’ll never beat, but you’ll never break.”😭😭😭😭😭😭
over the past five years of my life, i have listened to a lot of different music, rock, metal, country, folk, hell, even sea shanties. But no music, no band, no group, and nothing else, keeps me coming back for more as much as you. The oh hello's, youve been there when no one else has. when I had nothing else to listen to, no one to talk to, and nothing to find comfort in, you have been there. Thank you, and may you go down in history as one of the greatest bands of all time. thank you.
the addition of Maggie's vocals definitely makes this hit different
The Oh Hellos, to me, have always felt like a fond memory of something I’ve never had. But to combine the beauty of anemoia with a true memory of simpler times? It’s a comfort far too rare in these days.
The oh hellos, the men and women who have saved and consoled us, the truth of it is they are the true saviors of the world. Their music has helped us through the darkest times of our lives, from break ups, losing someone we cared about or just feeling as if we missed something. The oh hellos are a great band, one of my favorites and our old hearts won't ever shatter fully, it will always be fixed because of them
Sorry if I went to far with it but eh
Oh Hellos: “Nothing lasts forever, some things aren’t meant to be”
Me: “But this song…”
Reading through the comments says everything you need to know about the Oh Hellos as a band. Maggie, Tyler and the rest of the crew are in touch with what it means to really be a human in a beautiful, painful and magical world.
The humming and the instrumental at the end is so soothing and gentle it feels like finally moving on, forgiving yourself, acceptance, and now healing.
The first time I ever heard a song by the Oh Hellos was in one of those Soldier, Poet, King animatics, I think it was for Fire Emblem Three Houses. It was just a couple years ago, but now I feel like I've known this band my whole life. I discovered a whole new genre and have found a love for indie music of all sorts. I love discovering new bands and sounds now. It started with a song I heard in a video a couple years back. Thank you
Nearly ten years, driving home from one of the worst nights of my life this song came on the radio. It was instrumental in the next directions my life would take. I teetered on the precipice and wrote off the thoughts of love, joy, and peace. Ten years later, as I pray my wife and our unborn son to sleep, I cry tears of joy and disbelief. The pains and aches of this world are still quite real, but I thank God for setting my heart free.
This is incredible. No other word does it justice.
When I realized that this was the 10th anniversary edition, I thought, "How long have I been listening to them?" It's been 9 years! I remember when Dear Wormwood was released!
Time really flies when you've got great music to listen to. You guys got me through some really tough times and I am forever grateful.
Again i feel like a 15 year old teenager dealing with life and my emotions. I love the way the music still feels so beautiful and soothing
I haven't been here for ten years, but it feels like I have. Your music has brought me endless joy, endless comfort. Imagining myself resting in the woods with O Sleeper, watching the coronation in Ceasar, spinning in a galaxy of stars in Constellations, going on a grand quest in Soldier Poet King, writing letters to a lover in Exuent, picking myself back up in Boreas, twirling with the Fae in Danse Macabre, screaming to the sky in Eat You Alive, and finally, and this one is real, growing and healing with Hello My Old Heart. This is beautiful. Thank you Tyler and Maggie.
Somehow I feel that your music is medicine to the soul. Cause they healed bruises I couldn't heal alone.
I had a very small group of friends, just me and other 2. They were all I had in school, all I loved thorugh that time.
But then things started to happen and well... It became a very toxic friendship. They made me feel like trash and worst.
And scince (idk how to spell this word) im a very introvert guy, I kept around then for almost a year, holding the weight alone. Afraid not to find other friends and end up alone.
And then quarentine hitted, so I took that time to myself. Far from everyone. And thats when I found your music. They really felt like medicine. Saying all I needed to hear and giving me strenght to keep going, to fight for myself and see my value, leading me through my way on self-love.
And on that path, 3 songs oppened my eyes and made me see the world in a different way: Hello my old heart, Dear Wormood and Constellations.
Hello My Old Heart showed me that love, be it for yourself or others, will make you grow in different ways. It will hurt, but its necessary. We cant hold our growth or delay our pain by surrounding our hearts with walls and pretend nothing is happening.
Dear Wormwood showed me that sometimes the signs were always there but I just couldn't see them. I was blind by what they were saying, never really wanting to see that I was the one being silenced. It showed me that I needed to step up for myself and get free from that demon in my head that agreed with everhthing they said. To be brand new.
And Constellations guided me to become a better version of myself. And showed me that I would always change (for better I hope). Things will born and die, cicles will begin and close with time. Things may feel like hell while you're in this process but in the future, you'll see that the lines you lived and drew will be completly different thanks to the light you achieved.
So... I just wanted to thank you, The Oh Hello's, for helping me when I couldn't see the light in me.
And I hope that you, who readed this to the end, will see the light in yourself too and recognize that you're a beautyfull human, cause there's no one like you out there. Dont let anyone shut this light you got.
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years, I remember when I found you guys when I was around 11 years old, and ever since I’ve always had a soft spot for every albums and song. Thank you for the warmth in your guys music
This is more important than math homework
Mood ❤️
just finished binging all of their songs in chronological order, ending pretty much where it began
i'm so in love with these guys' music, it's a huge inspiration to me already
I think this is the perfect example of why arts and music are some of the most vital things humanity has made. It connects us in a way that is not some cheesy saying, but truly brings out and express the human emotions. I wish schools would help support this idea more, other than just math and history being the most “important” subjects.
TOH are from a different universe. Nobody has ever produced sound like this. They're like Goo Goo Dolls to me (not sound wise). Just so unique and different than anything ever created before.
Your music is an oasis in the middle of this busy world. Thank you for sharing it with us! Kudos from Brazil!
Salve!
"soldier poet king" has been my favourite song for 2 years now, i love you guys :)
I love how The Oh Hello's have a poetic and christian lyrics, I was trying to found folk and christian songs, and I finally found! Happy 10 years!!!
the first time i heard you guys i was so taken aback by the sense of freedom your songs gave me. im always so happy when i listen to them. i wish i could express how much you guys have impacted my heart and mind. i bought an acoustic guitar recently and i feel extremely motivated to practice because of these songs. thank you for inspiring me!!
this.
Clicking at the speed of light
Thank you for being by my side during dark and exiting times The oh Hellos!
Happy ten years, the oh hellos.
im sitting and crying to this song right now. i dont know why, im just sad. i havent cried like this in a while. hope youre having a good day, stranger. remember me when youre famous.
The fact that both iteration of this song sums up the most of the human experience. It is truly masterful to say the least.
man im genuinely crying. i cant believe its been ten years. the original version holds a special place in my heart and i think that this is an absolutely wonderful reimagining of it
I prefer the “ba dum bum”s of the original, but this is an absolutely beautiful take on your old classic!
I do remember first time listening to the old version 8 years ago.
Was walking my way home one afternoon when heard this song, Wind was silently blowing as if whispering “you’ll be okay”. Tht song been my comfort song to my teenage self and this version gives new meaning; it was as if my 19 year old self talking to my 27 yr old self. I feel warmth and peace listening to this. Ty
This song... why does it have to make me cry every single time. I'm sorry heart you deserve so much more
I haven't been here for long, but I know I will be for a very long time. Your music has had a huge impact on me. It has healed my heart, brought me so much joy and has let me open up to and enjoy the company of the people around me, and to appreciate them more. And it has restored my trust in God, in who I've lost faith a few years ago. So here is a very genuine and grateful Thank You!!
Out here making me cry reading your comment, I don’t know maybe I’m just an emotional person but I’m very happy to hear they helped restore your faith 💕💕
@@tryingartist42 Oh sorry for making you cry! That wasn't my intention haha
I got pretty emotional when I realized what the lyrics of "In Memoriam" were. That was what gave me a little push :D
@@papercat_draws Haha it’s not your fault you said nothing bad! I was already emotional from just hearing the song, I hope you have a great day or night!
@@tryingartist42 oh okay! I understand that, the song is really beautiful. You too, have a good day or night!
It's been so long since i never heard you guys. Welcome back The Oh Hellos
i shouldn't be listening to this in the middle of class, it's too good
GOOSEBUMPS !!!... ...♪
Ur my new favorite music.🎶
Thank you so much... ...🎼💙
I can’t even explain how much I love you guys. Every single song you guys make brings me happiness in every way. But this song speaks so closely to my heart and soul. Both new and old, it helped me cope with the person I am now, and how I miss who I used to be, and the memories of my past.
From the dark came forth sweetness.....
The Oh Hellos are my medicine in my hard times, this just make me cry because of joy and sadness
Still as beautiful as ever, if not even more. Thanks for being with us, y'all. ❤
I RAN WHEN I SAW THE NOTIFICATION THIS IS BEAUTIFUL HAPPY 10 YEARS
This song always reminds my friends from childhood. They changed so much....now they arent people they was ...I am dreaming they will come back ...
Found this song my senior year of hs, late 2014. Right before i went through a break up with my girlfriend of 3.5 years. She left me for my best friend. The original song helped me get through, and still viscerally reminds me of, that time. I wound up finding another girl, after developing a drug addiction from the pain of losing the first and my best friend in one big fiasco. Was with that girl for two and a half years, even made up with the best friend. Until that girl left me for the same best friend as the first when she (understandably) couldnt deal with my addiction anymore (he actually cheated on the first one with the second, small town, crazy drama). That was in 2017, ive come a long way since then, but still have a long way to go. Thankfully off the hard drugs, and ive gotten past the breakups. I wish them all nothing but the best, and while the original will always remind me of that time and feeling, this version makes me feel like i actually made it through it all, somehow, despite not thinking i would. Gives me a bit of hope, as cheesy as it is to say. Im really glad they released this.
I don't even know how I found your music but I was very young, like 9 years old. Now everytime I hear your songs they feel nostalgic, like I grew up with them, I'm so lucky
You’ll never know truely how much your songs help peoples souls
Hello! No one would probably see this. But thank you for making this song. I'm really grateful for it. I'm sick at the moment. And my college entrance exam is near. I'm really worried but I'm just hoping and trying my best to recover so I can take the test! I've been listening to this while studying for it since December. It really helps! So I hope I can recover tomorrow so I can prepare for my test. Thank you The Oh Hellos for helping me getting through these hard times
Your music still keeps me going, despite the deep seeded sadness and doubt I am enveloped in. Thank you, especially for Constellations. Strengthening my faith in the gods, every day.
I should note I'm writing this with tears in my eyes after being broken up with by the same woman for the third time.
I can’t believe this song is 10 years old.. I can’t tell you how many times I sang this during a breakdown or during a mental instability episode. Just listening to this.. I’m sorry. Thank you, thank you for all of your songs and all of the emotion you truly put into it. I’ve listened for years and plan to listen for years more. Happy Holidays ❤️
Humming along since I'm home alone 💜 The harmonies!!!! So good!!!!
it's perfect. it feels like the song healed with me. i'm crying. this version is so perfect. thank you.
This song needs way more credit. It’s the only thing that got me through quarantine.
Oh man, the harmonies and slower pace of this version is amazing. Hello My Old Heart was the first song that I really latched onto and this version is such a nice take on the actually fairly somber narrative here. I adore this version.
Ah! Today's the day i understand this song!
Someone said it right
"You understand music when u r sad"
Always and forever my favourite band!❤️
I would travel anywhere to see The Oh Hellos. I've been listening for close to 10 years and they never stop producing magic. Their music makes me feel weightless
An absolutely wonderful reimagining. Love y'all
When I first heard the original version of this song, 11 years ago now, I was certain that I was too broken to ever have a relationship that lasts. It made me cry tears a sadness, but also ones of hopefulness. Now hearing this remake, I can say that i've just had my 2 year anniversary with my wonderful, kind, and very patient partner. This song still makes me cry my eyes out, remembering past me, but also tears of elation over how far i've come. I won't lie and say i'm not still broken, but I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel, and i'm walking towards it with purpose.
Oh i really like the harmony in this one ! You did such a great job and improvement over the years ! Thank you for everything, The Oh Hellos !
The changes from the original recording years ago... so nice! Some subtle, some not as subtle. Very crisp! Aged like a fine wine.
I've loved this song for years and this version is beautiful. The Dear Wormwood album carried me single-handedly through 2020 and a fair chunk of this year. Thank you for being here
Although this isn't exactly what I expected from this rerecording, it's still an incredibly moving piece that I think certainly adds to the story of Hello My Old Heart. In my mind, I see this song as a kind of reprise of the original, where in the original, there was so much sadness and pain and just pure emotion. In this version, however, it's like this 'character' finally has accepted that it is okay to love, and that they are at peace with their pain and are reflecting upon their old ways and how they never want to go back. There's still a sense of sadness here, but I get a sense of overcoming fear and appreciating what one has. The two songs paired together tell a beautiful story, and I'm so grateful that The Oh Hellos exist. I don't think I'd be where I am today without their music
Im never gonna forget the times The Oh Hellos did that helped me through times with their songs
Happy 10 year anniversary Oh Hellos 🥰🥰🥰
Here's to another 10 years!!
I cant explain how much this band's songs give me comfort. Honestly feel like crying, this is so beautiful! Happy 10th anniversary, The Oh Hellos!
MY HEART SBDJNKAsd SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS
The crackling fire, and the isolated vocals of 2 with some echoes at the end, the song just being a guitar compared to the original song, man it just makes me imagine of someone being proud of how far they've come but missing everyone that helped them reach where they are now.
One of my fav song ever, it feels like childhood memories. 🫶🏽
My dog of 9 years, Just was put down today, She was one of my best friends, She always was the best little runt, She always sounded like a pig whenever she barked, But No longer, She was put to rest on the 3rd of 2023, Fly high Daisy.
Thank you for the music, All the highs and lows.
My heart. This is so beautiful. I love this song so much.
This one certainly feels more nostalgic than the original version. You guys did a fantastic job!
This is such a gorgeous song, and in comparison to the original, I find this version to be so much deeper in its complexity and emotion, while the first felt of grief and longing and loss, this one rings with a melancholic sense of bitter sweet, perhaps best summed up as ‘saudade’, it’s a feeling that I rarely find but truly treasure, especially in a form as rich as song.
Your music is what I imagine magic must feel like. It always makes me think of fairies and beautiful miracles. My heart just swells with pure joy everytime
This song is gorgeous. Rewatching Parenthood landed me here. Love it.
for some reason i had never liked this anniversary recording. 10 months ago maybe i thought it was too sad or too sentimental. maybe i didn't like my harmonies sounding "off" with the new chords lol.
but listening to it again after listening to the remaster of through the deep dark valley, i love it, maybe more than the original. i don't know what's changed, but i'm deeply attached to these songs and these voices. and i think the new chords are strikingly beautiful.
I first heard this song in highschool, and it has aged and changed so beautifully.
Pure poetry. Beautiful. Stirring. Relatable.
i cant believe its been 10 years but what a beautiful way to celebrate it
Still beautiful, no matter how many times i come back to this one, nice to get old with the song
I heard this this song and instantly fell in love with it, I am now going to take guitar classes just so I can play this beautiful song ❤
I need to stop listening to this while I’m working. Each time it comes up I brace myself because I know what comes next, but every single time I find myself tearing up no matter what I’m trying to focus on otherwise. The final verse is just…
