This video features an episode of the podcast "The Anthropocene Reviewed" in which John Green discusses his friendship with the writer Amy Krouse Rosenthal and the long, winding history of "Auld Lang Syne," which has become the world's New Year's Eve song.
The clip at the end is from this video about Amy's 8/8/08 gathering: • The Beckoning of Lovel...
This episode of the podcast was edited by Stan Muller, mixed by Joe Plourde, and scored by Hannis Brown. Jenny Lawton and Rosianna Halse Rojas produced.
The video is of water flowing in the White River, which flows southwest from Indianapolis into the Wabash River, and then into the Mississippi River, where it will meet with water that flowed from the Chicago River to the Des Plains River to the Illinois River and then to the Mississippi. In this way, the river that flowed near Amy's neighborhood will meet with the river that flowed through my neighborhood, which is something I think about sometimes when I feel very lonely.

John: Hello and welcome to the Anhtropocene Reviewed.
"Oh! okay, then"
I thought exactly the same thing!
I remember listening to this when the podcast came out and feeling emotional but now it feels even more poignant. This year has been so tough for everyone with the *gestures broadly*, and as a fellow OCD sufferer it was tough, I ended up getting inpatient treatment for 10 weeks. But I'm stood here in my kitchen in the UK singing along with John and it reminds me of how this community makes me feel not alone in this crazy world. Thanks John, Hank and all you lovely Nerdfighters, I hope 2021 brings more light to you all x
Glad you're here. Here's to 2021! -John
@Jen Hughes Happy New Year! I don't know you, but I love you.
We’re here.
I hope 2021 is kinder to you. Congratulations getting through 2020!
It somehow seems fitting to end this year in tears while uttering the words "We're here"
I wondered if anyone else cried - a lot - during this video. Thanks.
At least we're all crying together

This cracked me the first time i heard it. Now it has johns story attached to it emotionally.
@@Zeyev I had to pull over and stop driving because I couldn't see through the tears.
Oh my. I remember crying on a train listening to the original episode on the podcast one year ago. One. Year. Ago. Feels more life a lifetime ago now, but it hits home so much more. Happy New Year, everyone.
Happy New Year, Ceci!
All of this; same... Especially as in this last yr I lost a loved one to cancer and now so much hits more than it did before
Happy new year
I remember almost crying to this while walking on a busy street, probably slightly after New Year's. I remember trying to hum along (and not be conspicuous.) Happy New Year, may you all persevere.
i remember crying to this in an airport, waiting for the plane to board to go home from visiting my family for christmas
It’s 32 minutes into 2021 here in Australia, I can’t sleep, this video is already somehow helping. Happy new year everyone.
Well happy new year! This should be in time i think.....
Happy New Year Monique🎊🎉💜
Happy New Year. -John
I am also an Australian and I literally use this Ep of the anthropocene reviewed to fall asleep, Happy new year!
Happy new year.🎉 For me it's more then 8 hours till midnight and it's weird to think about the fact that it's already 2021 for so many people.
"The rare present tense sentence that, once it becomes true, remains true forever."
That sentence is so heart-stoppingly poignant. It makes one feel so lonely in this vast empty universe of time.
Me too! It was my favorite part
+++❤️
I loved this line so much that I recently plagiarized it in one of my journals that we read out loud in rehab. I was going to give him credit in it but I felt at the time that it would pull listeners out of the moment.
I still kind of regret it, not going to put it in my 4th step or anything, but yeah.
Hi John, in case you ever see this I just want to say that this Anthro Reviewed episode kinda changed my life when I heard it last year and I listen to it about every month. I’m sincerely, sincerely grateful to you for all of your work and especially for your celebration of humanity in this piece.
Thanks, Carter. It means a lot to know that it's something you feel like is worth revisiting. -John
I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I'm just the same. Both this episode, and also Googling Strangers. The last few lines of that episode always get me:
alive
alive
alive
I don't message him. I don't friend him. I let him be.

@@maleknecibi This episode both broke me and yet somehow fixes something deep every time I listen. To Auld Lang Syne.
@@maleknecibi that Googling Strangers episode destroyed me, i was a wreck for a good few days after listening to it haha
I listened to this as I was driving back from my shift at the hospital where I've worked on a COVID unit since what feels like time immemorial but has actually been since October. I got COVID from working on that unit, and I am this year missing my parents' astounding New Year's party where every year I sing Auld Lang Syne with the community I was raised in. But despite that, I really want to go to work tonight to ring in the end of this year with the nurses I've worked alongside for this whole of 2020. Because we're here.
Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. I am so glad you are here. Happy New Year.
God your comment hit home. Thank you for your service! My mom also got COVID from working her hospital's unit. It's been a scary month but we're still here. Here's hoping we celebrate with everyone next year!
Happy New Year! Thank you for everything!
thank you so much for the important work you do!
Thank you for everything! So many people are still here today, because you're there. ❤️
This is like the best kind of surprise.
A couple of times in any given year I become overwhelmed with joy and awe about living. Just being alive. It happened this spring on a bike ride when I saw my favorite flowers blooming for the first this season. These astonishing poppies that grow to be the size of dinner plates, their stalks average 5 ft. in height, they are wonderful. I had to pull over just to sob and sit with the idea that I got to be here, with them, another year. It usually ends in a lot of nostalgia and a kind of sadness about the people that have poured their love in to me over my lifetime and I didn't really connect those things until today, when it happened again while listening to this episode on an early beach walk. I just turned 27, I'm finishing graduate school this year, and I'm here. We're here, because we're here.
This is a lovely tribute to Amy, and to love. I'm so happy to be on the planet at the same time as you, a stranger, helping me to grow and feel and love into adulthood.
This was beautifully stated, I think I know the feeling
This was beautifully written. Thank you. -John
That's the beautiful thing about flowers. They're here.
This comment really touches me. I've been reading it over and over for the past few minutes. Thank you
Im a year late, but I still thought you should be reminded about the beautifully written comment you made. I don't know who you were when you wrote this, but I hope the person you are now still has those moments of joy and awe.
Just quietly sobbing listening to this while trying to do my NYE makeup
Just quietly sobbing as I try to make the NYE cake for the kids. Nobody wants tears in cake batter
for a zoom party i hope :p
SAME ahhhh
@@jasmeenmalhotra2225 just decrease the amount of salt you add. Happy New Year.
We are here.
(I'm also crying over this.)
John Green just out here pulling emotions out of me that I didn't even know existed.
John can do that so well, can't he?
You did not let her down. You stood there. And probably made her laugh.

I agree :)

"Don't just do something... Stand there."
This is possibly the most important advise you've shared with me. Thank you.
I heard it in a much older vlogbrorhers video in 2010 or 2011 and it hit me hard too and still is extremely important to me
This is probably my favorite Anthropocene Reviewed episode, and that's saying a lot.

On this cold, drizzly morning on the last day of a year that has kept me away from all my family and friends, and claimed the hope and lives of so many, it's wonderfully cathartic to sing "We're here because we're here... Because we're here... " With John Green. To let some of this grief, fear, and anxiety fall out of me through tears and just Be Here for a minute and be grateful for that. Thank you, John.
I thought I was going to end this last day of the worst year sobbing while thinking about losing my dad this year. Instead I'm starting the last day of another year sobbing what has been lost and found throughout human history, including my dad.
I am so sorry for your loss. I don't know you, but I am sending my love to you and your family. Happy New Year.
@@N3rdfightermom thank you. I can't adequately express how much that means to me!
“...love will survive even though we will not”
Our sons of 16 and 19 and I, have just lost our beloved father and husband
This 100% what I need right now
Miraculously, at 17:50, and old friend I’ve been missing for months called me. There is still hope, because we’re here.
My roommate just walked in to see me singing/shrieking "we're here because we're here" while sobbing uncontrollably. I regret nothing.
I had this video on in the background while prepping for supper this evening, making my late Nanny's meatball recipe (since made plant-based, but still delicious). It's been a weird year; it started with me dealing with coming to terms with my infertility, then covid was thrown in on top of that. My Nanny inspired my passion for cooking and baking, and working my hands in to her recipe is something that makes me still feel close with my grandmother, even though she's been gone for 6 years now.
I'm 2 weeks away from my due date now, and we're naming the baby Kay, after my Nanny. She was a person who deserved to be remembered, and this was the best way I knew how to do that.
To be honest, I wasn't really paying attention to your voice John. But when you started talking about how we'll never get to speak to certain people who have loved us in to our own moments I broke down crying (helped along by the pregnancy hormones I'm sure). My Nanny was a person who loved me in to this moment, and now I'm going to get to love my own child in to their moments. Cheers John, and Happy New Years!
Congrats on the incoming baby! I’m currently nursing my three-week-old. Certainly a weird time to parent, but We’re Here.
Back in 2017, I saw John and Hank on their tour for Turtles All The Way Down. My best friend had died in an accident about a month before, and when John told this story about Auld Lang Syne and has us all sing, I couldn’t get any words out bc I was crying so hard. I needed something to remind me that while she was gone, I was still here. I was still breathing. Though there was and is no rhyme or reason to life or death, we were here together. After this year, I needed to cry and hear it again. Thank you for being you, John.
Freaked my dad out because he walked in on me crying into my pillow, and he thought something was wrong. I had a lumbar puncture yesterday, to help confirm or deny if I have multiple sclerosis, and under doctors orders to lay as flat as I can to help the hole in my spine heal. I have not yet listened to any of the anthropocene reviewed, so this video hit me hard, hence the puddle of tears on my pillow. I'm here because I'm here.
I'll be getting an MRI soon to see if I may have MS. Big big hug to you wherever you are.
@@jeannelucas3132 big hug right back at you 🤗
And we are glad you are here. No matter what the results are, we will be here. Because we are here...and because we care.
Already listened to it this morning as I was driving through the night to make it home for my favorite holiday. Happy new year John. We’re here.

Thanks for the memory - and the tears. While I am living with cancers, my sister is dying with one. It is a challenge. I am reminded of the Hebrew rod "hineni" that means "I am here" in both the physical and mental arenas. A powerful concept. I think you also mean both when you sing the new lyrics.
thank you for sharing this. may your sister's passing be easy and full of love, and may life after her be warm and full of memories.
i learned the word "hineni" from Leonard Cohen's "You Want It Darker" -- it came out near the end of his life, but i didn't hear it until after he had died. i then realized that i already knew a form of the word from "Hine Ma Tov", which i had heard on a CD, long since lost, and had been stuck in my head ever since. two different singers asserting or giving thanks for their presence, even though they were absent in the obvious senses.
@@yaelmorin9017 Thank you.
It’s 1:21am of the new year for me here in Sydney. I spend New Year’s Eve driving around empty streets with my longest friend listening to bad 80s music with the windows down, picking my little brother up from his night shift at McDonald’s, then watching the socially distanced fireworks on tv and listening to This Year by The Mountain Goats. I’m getting ready for bed now, utterly exhausted from this entire torturous year, and this video is the best thing to wind down to. Thanks John. Happy new year, take care
As a Scot, ringing in their first Hogmanay alone (for obvious reasons), I can't tell you how happy it made me to see a video about that most famous of Rabbie Burns' poems. This really helped. And I did sing along with you.
Im in the UK, its 2 in the morning, this is the first video I am watching in 2022. Its profound that this was a year ago, but, time will move on and we have to keep with it. Heres to 2022, and whatever comes with it.
While I reflect on those that have loved me into my now, I will raise my glass to you. Thank you, John and Hank. From all of us.
When I got the notification for this video , I experienced a moment of complete and utter confusion . The confusion was worth it though , thank you for this video . I’m listening while I type this ... it’s beautiful.
Thank you, John. Thank you, Amy. Thank you, Nerdfighteria. Thank you to all the people who have shaped my life who I cannot speak to.
An all-time favorite AR episode! Those who haven’t heard it yet are in for a treat.
The world may be broken but hope is not crazy, thank you for reminding me of that. Happy new year and whatever comes next we'll face it together.

"The only way our is through" ~ Robert Frost
"The only way through is together" ~ John Green
Those two quotes have gotten me through so much this year. You're right, Maria. Whatever comes next we'll face it together.
This is my favorite episode of TAR. It is just another level. I sob every damn time. Thank you, john.
I remember I first found out about Amy Krouse Rosenthal from the article she wrote that came out on my birthday in 2017 called "You May Want to Marry My Husband". It was, at once, both heartwarming and also saddening. Then I heard about her from one of the past videos and since then I have been going back over and over to her UA-cam channel to watch all the amazing things Amy Krouse Rosenthal did. From the Beckoning of Lovely, to all the other charming videos she made. Anytime I hear John talk about her, I miss her somehow although I didn't even know her as such.
Ah, I remember listening to this episode while walking into the sunset somewhere along the coast of Spain. Good times.
This is my New Years video. Thank you John.
I've just gone to her foundation's website, and learned that this is the incredible person who wrote You May Want to Marry My Husband. Imagine that, that I had encountered each of you independently of the other, and that you've come together for me this way. It's like I'd been standing on the shore between the Wabash & Illinois rivers, and only today turned to see them meet in the Mississippi. I will be reading other of her works, and yours. Happy New Year, John.
OMG. That was hers? Guess I wasn't done crying after all...

I didn't know that essay, but I want to give you my sincerest gratitude for placing it in my path.
@@JacobAdriani My pleasure
I’m with someone who is suffering at the end of her life right now. This is beautifully magic. I had a good laugh out of “you do so much yoga!”
my grandma would always sing the "we're here" version whenever we got to our destination when she would take me on little day trips when I was young. it is interesting to hear the meaning behind it and I'm smiling with the happy memories.
“…I think about the many broad seas that have roared between me and the past. Seas of neglect, seas of time, seas of death. I’ll never speak again to many of the people who loved me into this moment. Just as you will never speak to many of the people who loved you into your now. And so we raise a glass to them and hope that perhaps somewhere, they are raising a glass to us.”
The consistency of the stream is so calming.
Hank's announcement video reminded me of this episode. I hope that the way that things work out will be different than Amy's experience with cancer.
It must be super scary being so aware of cancer and knowing so many people who didn't make it but I feel like Hank's gonna be okay, the most important step is catching it early on and I think that's the case here, either way, I hope this is manageable
John, this was one of the most moving things I have ever listened to. Lately, I have become fascinated with Scottish history, and have been learning Scots Gaelic for the past 68 days. Something about Rabbie Burns's capturing of the past, and knowing that humanity has historically endured so much hell, makes it appear possible that we, too, will go on. Thank you for sharing.
Latha math! I started learning Gaelic this year too!
@@okayheykae That's wonderful! The only downside is that when I try to type "I'm" on my phone, it auto-corrects to ìm. Somehow, I think Paula Deen would enjoy this. 😅🧈
This is such a special episode for me too. I might keep coming to this video every year
@@NerdWatchJinxy lol! I had to Google Translate that word (maybe I should focus on food vocab next?), but it's perfect because there have definitely been some days in 2020 where I felt like butter 😆
@@okayheykae I couldn't agree more! Ha! I'm mostly following Duolingo, and the occasional UA-cam video, so I'm just blindly learning. Not much else to do in 2020, anyway!
i watched this last year and cried. watched it again this year, in a new new year's tradition, and cried again. "we're here because we're here" is a phrase that's kept me going this past year, and it'll take me into the next. happy new year, john and nerdfighters
Hello 2022. We're here because we're here. Stay strong Nerdfightaria
Fun fact, Auld Lang Syne in cantonese sound like 我靚曬, which means I have become a lot more beautiful
In Swedish, "long ago" is "för länge sen". I've always thought about "lang syne" as a sibling idiom to that "länge sen".
I feel like I have just completed my morning meditation just by sitting and listening to this. Thank you John.
I never thought I'd be so emotional singing Auld Lang Syne with John Green. Thank you for carving out a profound moment in my life. We're here.
one more space for the genuine
I was just thinking about the Turtles tour where we all sang “we’re here because we’re here” to the tune of Auld Lang Syne and opened UA-cam to see this 👀😂
I was listening to this earlier this week. I will never not listen to this when it comes up.
Thank you John, for being here with me. With us. Thank you to everyone.
I feel as though the rippling of the creek has massaged my mind. I needed that. Thank you.
iPad propped on the toilet as I sang in my bath. An entire year of “why am I here” answered in such a way makes great sense. Thank you John. Thank you Amy. Five fucking stars!
This makes me want to believe in an afterlife so John could talk to Amy about that yoga comment.
ringing in 2022 by playing this at home with my parents as we all have covid and will always find peace in “we’re here because we’re here”
We are here, because we're here, because we're here, because we're here, because we're here,We are here, because we're here, because we're here, because we're here, because we're here.

Oh this is a great thing to find in the feed
Happy New Year to you as well, Sam! -John
I will probably be listening to this every new years eve for the rest of my life...
An anthropecene reviewed, on the vlogbrothers channel? Amazing!
As we enter the final month of 2021, I thought back to this video and watched it again.
To me, this is one of the most beautiful videos on this site. It affects me the same way that it did almost 12 months ago. I find the story, the message, and the overall delivery (strangely?) comforting. I don't often get that emotional, but something about this just gets my eyes wet. It's hard to explain why, because although there are sad points throughout, it's not really abject sadness that I'm feeling. Maybe it just feels good to just feel.
I know this will probably go unnoticed, but thank you for your words.
I remember when I first joined the trumpet line at my local college, we were asked so many times "Why are you here?" and when we'd answer something like "Because I love music" or something of the sorts, they'd smile and move on. At the end of the week, they got us rookies rookies and vets of the group together around a fire, arms around each other. When they asked the vets "WHY ARE YOU HERE?" they all shouted "BECAUSE WE'RE HERE!!!" and we all broke out into song. The stars were so bright that night. Thanks for going into detail onto why it was so important; I wasn't sure it could be put into words.
John, I have a different reaction to your note to Amy. When I heard, "You do so much yoga," It made me smile. It was such an inappropriate and silly non sequitur that I could not help myself. In the middle of this sad narration I still smiled. If your stupid reply brought a similar smile to Amy, then maybe your reply was not so stupid after all. Whether your observation was intended to be humorous or not, , I suspect asking Amy, "How can this be happening? You do so much yoga," was far better than just standing there.
I was thinking of Amy & you & this story as we sang this song just after midnight tonight. I come back to this AR episode very often. Thankyou for sharing once more
Memento mori and happy new year, friend
An old friend of mine died just before Christmas and I did not know I needed this to close out my year. But here I am trying to get ready for work and crying...but hopeful.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I just Discovere this Chanel today and now Im starting to love it and im doing a Vlog marathon.. 😑
During the spring and the summer, walking outside kept me sane. On those walks, I listened to one or two episodes of the Anthropocene Reviewed. I don't know if I discovered it through a vlogbrothers video or by scrolling through podcasts. Either way, I am glad that I did.
There are a few times in your life that you come across a truly special- an album, a band, a movie, a book. This is one of those things. Your insight and fascination with the anthropocene combined with your vulnerability in sharing moments of your life remind me that I am not alone. I am not alone in the way I experience the world. I am not alone in my fascination with it.
Thank you for creating this podcast.
This year has really really sucked. I’m in the wrong body, and my OCD is really bad right now, but hopefully next year is better for all of us.
This is a comment I could have written. I hope 2021 is better for us both. We're here, and we're not alone 🥰
Currently listening to this on the way home from my Grandmother’s funeral. Hits close to home at a tough ending for a tough year
I knew it was gonna make me cry
I clicked anyway
and yep I'm crying
But
Thank you for the tears. And the laughs. And everything.
Oh man, I listened to this podcast last year, and it utterly broke me (and I mean that in the best way possible). Fantastic storytelling as ever, John. We're here because we're here.
Its new years eve again, and here i am, again. feel like I've got a tradition going.
glad this video is here, that its makers are here, and that you are here. thanks
A whole year later I listened while walking my dog, the year got really dark and I went to therapy and it kinda got better... I'm still worried and scared but more than ever I want to believe in a future and I want to believe I am here, we are here and that can be enough
I listen to this video every time I need a good cathartic cry & it has yet to let me down.
Just posted this for my friends to wish them a Happy New Year. Again, I'm crying like a baby after watching/listening to it for the 6000th time. We're still here. And at the end of 2021, that is still enough. And, yes, I know - my comment is a year untethered from the posting. I'm a late adapter. Thanks for remembering to be awesome, Mr. Green.
I'm so glad I am not alone in this being a new years tradition. We're here because we're here. We got this, nerdfightaria. I hope you all have a beautiful year full of joy and love and laughter.
And we’ll be here every year
Man, he should really write a book like this.
Thank you, John, for the human moment of singing in the end. I rate Auld Lang Syne 5 stars, and I rate you 5 stars, as well. Happy New Year.
This is my second late december in a row watching this. It's a tradition now
John Green,
You made me cry today.
Thank you.
Happy New Year.
Singing with this video I can still put myself in the audience at the Turtles All The Way Down event in St. Louis singing we're here because with all those wonderful people in a very different time.
Both times it has made me feel less alone in very different ways.
Thank you, John.
I was there too! What a night!
Can’t believe I got this recommended on today of all days
Loving that an old podcast episode about an old song used to celebrate a new year has newly arrived in my subscription feed. And the added bonus that it has, my favourite vlogbrothers classic, 'a thought from a place' vibe (even if that place is actually a time).
+ “even if that place is a time” beautifully put my friend
watched this as the clock struck midnight. thank you john
Thank you for a new years surprise. A nice cry for the morning to acknowledge how beautiful and raw living is. No one makes me feel as hopeful and awestruck by everyday life and emotions like this channel
Edir: okay I now finished the video u underestimated how much I'd cry
the world may have been flipped upside down and almost nothing is ever certain but even when i wished i wasn’t i sure am still here
I know this isn't meant to be, but the sentence "how can this be happening? You do so much yoga" is so incredibly funny
It’s this episode and the Kaua’i O’O episode that make me weep every time I hear them
We’re here because we’re here because we’re here because we’re here because we’re here because we’re here.....
Whether you wanted it or not, you're here. Let's raise a glass in honour of auld lange syne. Let's fuckin go for another year. You might remember the good less cause it was casual, and only the negative challenged you, but also ain't that neat, hope it goes better.
It’s New Years Eve of 2021, and I am here again
Happy New Years everyone 🖤
I got really scared when I saw a 21 minute video. I got really happy when I heard Anthropocene Reviewed.
I remember singing “we’re here because we’re here” with you at the TATWD tour in DC the October after Amy had passed away. I was six weeks into my first semester of college and I was miserable. That show was so important to me for a myriad of reasons, and I remember tearing up when we sang together because it was the first time in a while I didn’t feel so crushingly alone.
We're here because we're here because we're here
Happy new year friend
thank you, algorithm, for this today.
I do not remember another time, something gave me more intense, and conflicting emotions und made me feel so human. Thank you John.
happy new year everyone. we're here because we're here
2022...we're here because wer're because we're here
Twice I've sang this with you John at the 2017 TatWD DC show, and this year's Minotour in Raleigh. I kept it together throughout the video, but then you asked to sing with you again and it broke me.
