Lyrics:
Hello, how have you been today?
The same question for the fifth time this week
How forgetful was that chatty cliche?
Everything seems ordinary to me
Should I tell you I've been feeling down?
'Cause, well that's not really new
Oh well, I'll say something somehow
Though you want to hear me ramble
There's not much that I can say
'Cause everything seems normal
There's nothing to it, though
And how I feel, the face I show the world
They all seem so slow
Everything seems normal
No need to be upset
Don't concern yourself with my unhappiness
'Cause I'm sure it's normal
So, how was the party last week?
I'm sorry that I couldn't make it
Don't worry, it's not anything deep
I was feeling kinda reckless in the nights I couldn't sleep
'Cause everything seems normal
There's nothing to it, though
And how I feel, the face I show the world
They all seem so slow
Everything seems normal
No need to be upset
Don't concern yourself with my unhappiness
'Cause I'm sure it's normal...
...to lose interest in life
And to wish you never tried
Isn't that what you call normal?
There is nothing I want
The only reason I went on
Is 'Cause you'll feel regretful if I died
I've written three set-aside notes
Eight attempts without any results
But why should my stories be told?
They all seem too ordinary to me
'Cause everything seems normal
There's nothing to it, though
And how I feel, the face I show the world
They all seem so slow
Everything seems normal
No need to be upset
Don't concern yourself with my unhappiness
'Cause I'm sure it's normal
Don't concern yourself with my unhappiness
Hi, I turned the comments section back on, but will be filtering them manually because the UA-cam comment section is not the best place to discuss these topics.
I hope you understand, thank you !
This is so relaxing
I love how each chorus is sort of an inverse of Circus Hop. In each Circus Hop, the character falls more and more into insanity with each portrait of them growing more insane and crazed, while in this one, they seem to grow just a little bit happier. It goes from a frown, to an open mouth, to a bit of a smirk, and finally in the last seconds of the video, a smile. It's really a heartwarming thing.
The use of water, that feeling of drowning, it’s used perfectly, your work keeps amazing me
I've been playing this on repeat
It's really a beautiful song, thank you so much for putting it out.
I'm so glad a song was put out like this. I feel like this song puts depression in a way that is much more realistic than most songs I hear about it, even hitting close to home. Thank you. My feelings aren't as invalidated anymore.
I thought the same, but when I saw that everyone was happy except me I was like '' oh wow I'm depressed '' and I just can't open myself up, I just feel like a burden to my loved ones, but slowly, I'm getting rid of that feeling, it's exhausting battling everyday with my own thoughts but people are here to help me now :')
(sry for my bad English)
Your english is perfect! Hope you feel better soon!
Thats good. I hope you feel better soon!
I LOVE the song, although it hits a bit too close to home...
It's really nice to hear someone touch upon this topic, it really helps feeling like I'm not alone here.
The choice in the instrumental track for this song is just perfect in conveying how "normal" this kind of thing can feel. Wonderful work as "normal"
this is so beautiful, it just relates me a whole lot with my current state and situation. you're amazing Jonkagor
No joke, this almost made me cry. I've never found a song I relate to so much until this.
the "set-aside notes" was very clever and relatable. stay safe everyone! i love this song
The theme of toxic positivity is something I really relate to, honestly. I think sometimes we all need to remember that it's okay to be sad, and that it's okay to lean on our people. Thank you for giving us a song that reminds us that we're not alone in this. And, to whoever's reading this- your value is immeasurable. You are loved, and people miss you when you're not around. Take care of yourself, you deserve it
Aww.. I love the pastel color scheme, the way the hair blows in the wind, the character's outfit and shorts, the lyrics, your voice, and the very soft, calming feeling of this song. You did an amazing job, as always. I hope you're okay!
I really love the character in this video, their design is so cute
I know this isn’t a cry for help, but I really enjoy it. I hope everyone is doing ok, including you JonKaGor.
I’ve always adored how beautifully you’ve been able to handle these topics within your music. Your work astounds me each time I see it and I just have to say how thankful I am that you end up sharing these songs. Thank you Jon, you’ve knocked it out of the park again with this one.
When struggling with depression, I couldn't tell if what I was feeling was normal and I was just over reacting. It took me months to tell a friend how I felt, and another month to get therapy. Fortunately I'm now better, but I want anyone reading this to know that it is not normal to feel sad, unmotivated, alone, trapped, etc. on the daily. Please get help. Trust me, no one will judge you. Please, just talk to someone.
Nobody is "normal", just brainwashed with the image of "normal"
This song is delightful, so smooth and soothing
It's lovely.
This one...this one really hits. The lyrics really take you the mind of someone who's depressed. The music give a hopeful atmosphere, especially at the end. I see it as the opposite of Circus Hop, where as that song was a slow decent into madness ending with suicide, this one is slowly ascending away from madness, with a hopeful end.
A month or so ago, I was in the worst mental state of my entire life, and in complete denial of it. Every single day, I felt absolutely miserable, and wanted everything to end. I convinced myself that my feelings and problems weren’t worth bringing up, and at the same time I felt like it was the only thing I ever talked about, and had a hard time thinking of anything to talk about that didn’t have to do with me being miserable.
This song was what finally got me to cry, and reach out to my mom and tell her everything I was feeling. I’ve gotten a lot of help since then, and I’m so, so much happier.
Thank you so much for this song, I genuinely don’t know where I’d be without it
I've been feeling this way for a while and I hadn't really thought of a good way to put that feeling into words...previously all I could say is "I just wish I could have you feel it for a second so you could know." Because there is no way to truly ever put feelings into words. Even this song probably isn't 100% accurate to the topic because feelings can never be truly explained through words alone. It needs something more, like a song for example. Thank you for this ♡
i kind of heavily relate to this song, honestly the first time i listened to it i cried
this is my favourite song right now, and probably for a very, very long time
thank you jonkagor
To anybody who needs it;
It’ll be alright in the end,
And if it’s not alright, it’s not the end.
I'm listening to the lyrics closely because I have a friend who's in a bad spot. Thanks for making this.
i love how it's pastel and seems normal, though it has a dark theme to it. this isn't something many people can pull off well, and im impressed!! overall it's a really good song and video :D
The smile at the end made me cry
This was beautiful.. i relate so much to this, it feels good to know my feelings aren't invalid.
i like how you are doing energy and soft music at the same time! both of these nice to listen, thank you a lot
This one is truly what I call a bittersweet song, because the Circus Hop is more forceful and delirious at portraying isolation with its ironically happy undertone; whereas this one is more of an honest “It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about me...” saudade undertone.
If anyone is feeling depressed, anxious, or anything else, don't forget that people are here for you and that there's help available to you (like therapy)
Alright everyone take care, and I love you •3•
first time i got actual relatable goose bumps from a vid
ngl might be my new favourite song ty for making this
Definitely one of those songs needed especially with many peoples mental health unfortunately worsening because of the global issue.
Thank you very much and I hope yourself, friends and family are well and safe !
:D This song is so good! It really seems well...normal. The tune and everything makes me think of a normal day. Its conveyed so well! I love it!
Cirus hop: chill edition
To be honest, this has been be for the better part of last year and the first half of this year. I didn't get help because I never reached out. I resonate with this song to an insane degree, and I think it puts the subject matter into the most real way of putting it, as if you're stepping into the shoes of depression itself.
God, such a great song! You really make me feel better with some of your songs. Keep it up! And keep going strong.
its beautiful, ive listened to this for 3 hours now
this song is adorable, and I just want to give the video kitty a big hug they're so precious. Kudo's on such a lovely piece
Woah, even though the meaning is dark, this is really good! I love the colour palette used, and your singing is so clear ! 💗💗💗
It's hard for me to genuinely express my feelings. Music has always been a source for me to convey my emotions and thoughts and this song gave me a way to express how I've felt most my life (minus the attempts, I'm too stubborn for that).
So in a sad, but happy way, thank you.
Even though it has some deep messages, It's a wonderful song to hear every day.
Not only because the current situation makes you feel bored of your life, but because makes you think on the things that you can still do, the people you can meet, the places you can be and all thanks to the fact that you're still healthy.
These songs are great emotional support.
Guys please read the desc
This touch me on so many levels, some songs express my feelings or situations and this is one of them.
This really helped me understand my friend who's told me the line "don't concern yourself with my unhappiness" I hope I'll be able to better be there for him now
This song just hits different
I love the way you sing, it's beautiful, your songs are the best, keep it up, Jon!
You conveyed the feeling so well. I could never put the feeling into words but you did. We love you and please keep going your voice is amazing.
This is a really beautiful song and video, it really touched me
The whole idea of just brushing stuff as "normal" is really well expressed in this song, (and might I add hit wayyyyy too close to home) of course how complex stuff like this cant really be expressed in words but this is as close as anyone will probably get, songs are able to express things easier sometimes rather than just talking.
I just found you on Spotify and I must say, you are incredibly underrated. Thanks for making your music! It's awesome!
You're art style has become really refined, it looks amazing
Yess i love your music videos so much, the song is really good too
I really enjoy this song qwq
I can relate to it a lot. Im not going to say anything about whats been happening, cuz i do want this to be pure and positive ówò
Your songs are honestly amazing and theyve companied me to this very day. Your art and animation is awesome goes really well with the songs youve created!
Ik im pretty bad with words, but ye qwq
I send everyone love and lotsa hearts owo
jon this is so good..... ur so talented wtf
All of your work has such an innate beauty to it.This one in particular I felt on a deeply personal level
Illustration is so cute
very nice and melodic song, the theme fits very well with everything and makes a perfect little song!
I have never related to a song like I do this one. Also for anyone who reads this, you're amazing!
yet another masterpiece well done Jon! I love your music and animation good job my guy!
oof this song hits close lol, thank you for all the amazing music/animation you've been putting out! Even if you say everything's alright in the description anyway, I hope you have a really good day/week!
Makes me smile cause I haven’t seen ur videos in a while just knowing you still upload is nice UwU
Just ran across your channel and thought you were just an animator but I checked the description to find the song and? You wrote it??? Holy crap???? This is amazing! Love the song and animation!
This song is literally about someone being depressed for so long they’ve grown used to and numb to it
I really really like the instrumental of this, it's so soothing somehow. There's something to it that feels so simple and humble, which relates to what is said too in some way, I'm sure of it, but even like this, there's a tad bit of empathy that seems to resonate from the way it sounds, like you know that this is definitely a song that's trying to reassure you that everything's... Well, Normal ?
this song makes me feel very content, it’s almost like my thoughts were really put into words here.. finally something i can relate to and understand, yk? i love it a lot, your songs always make me feel at least a little bit less stressed haha
This is so calming...
This is a perfect song to listen while being lazy. Thank you youtube algorithm.
I realate to this so much. Also great job Jon. I love the song.
I like how the background trumpet (or flute, idk instruments sadly tbh) sounds like water or noise rushing by. Kinda furthers the floating in water vibe and shows how immersed in depression a person can be.
ive never really listened to your music before, this is a first for me. but wow, you are a very talented songwriter and musician! what a lovely music video as well. thank you for sharing your work!
Song is great! I couldn’t recommend it highly enough to friends!
Omg I love this!!!!
This is incredible 👏
I love how subtle these themes are.
UA-cam didnt give me a notification, but this is sooo good!
this song is beautiful. thank you so much
I LOVE this.
such beautiful 😣
Amazing song as always, touching on some serious themes that are portrayed in very realistic way, in lyrics, and the art is always beautiful. Just a question, is this song going to be on spotify like the other ones?
This is really good, nice job!
This is tooo goooood
I needed this song
Thanks for making another great song!
Nice song!
After working quite a bit to pull myself out of this place, this song has a weird feeling to it. Kind of bittersweet, glad I'm not quite so "down" (haha hard to refer to it any other way huh?) anymore, but just imagining the feeling again makes me feel lightheaded. Great work man, love your stuff
I really love your songs and videos, they're a little too close to home, but as someone very immersed in psychology I find them very enjoyable and accurate, it's a first for me to see such well made pieces of art, cheers to you, and I hope things get better for you soon.
This song is lovely
Tysm for this 💖
3:49 circus hop leitmotif?

This song kinda made me realize something about myself
