Wow... I love how sensitive you are to little things in the music.. you are so unapologetically empathetic and its beautiful to see. Your words are just so sweet and touching. Thank you for taking the time to listen. Truly warmed my heart :,)
Thank you so much! You have no idea how much that truly means to me! Thank you for making such open and beautiful work to share with the world! I wouldn't have much to say without so much passion and vulnerability, so all the thanks is reflected back to you! :')
He saw this! :D Hi Robbie!! 💕
This entire vid is so wholesome and it just got 100x more wholesome
I can't believe he saw this
cavetown ROB
3:07 fun fact: that tree was never supposed to fall, it had fallen during recording and almost hit Robbie:-(
But he kept it in because it looked pretty neat.

@@ethaan1854 I believe it was in the behind the scenes lemon boy music video?
Yeah that’s what it’s from
I said the exact same thing omg-
i was gonna say that :(
Just add water = introvert anthem
Lemon boy = depression is our friend
Devil town = the best song ever
Janine Biondo talk to me= my feelings to my friends
Devil town: parent divorce but I don’t care
devil town is colder in the summer time
jessdelrey3 I’ll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Yesss
*this is home starts playing*
*me, holding back tears:* good luck soldier
SaMe ThO
charlie I identify with that song. I love it
This was me
When this is home came on I just saved my arms and mouthed the lyrics cos everyone else is asleep cos I don't sleep
*This is home brought me to Robbies music u^u*
the sad boi anthem
Lemon boy is supposed to symbolize any sort of negative mental illness. Basically in the beginning when people develop depression or anxiety it can affect how their social life is and how they think and everything is negative but as time goes on, you learn to just exist with these illnesses and learn to cope and handle them
Edit: WOAH thanks for the likes!
Interesting. I actually really like that, and this was the first time ive seen this. It makes sense when I think about it lmao
Yeah, also that tree falling was not intentional. He got out of the way just in time.
@@kwilson24 oh shit lmao
say it louder for the people in the back
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Boys will be bugs was such a feeling about toxic masculinity, and how people always think men have no emotion, or that they need to be strong, which is why I appreciate my dad for showing his emotions and even explaining how he wasnt allowed to show them though he himself was suppressing emotions, though I dont Identify as a male I still appreciate the good masculinity
Absolutely!
As a trans guy it's definitely been a weird thing to get used to. Like, I spent the first 20 years of my life being allowed to show emotions but now that I'm out it's less acceptable? Gender norms will never make sense to me.
@@theviewer6889 As someone going the other way, I can definitely say that it impacted me. It's the only part of male socialization that actually got to me, even leading me to have an emotionless, monotone voice. I let all my emotions build up behind a facade. Only recently have I actually shown emotion outwardly, ive had several breakdowns to make up for the years of nothing and it feels soo much better.
Even though I'm a girl i try to understand boy's point of view. I like "what it's like in a female world? I bet it's just so much better". It shows how both of the sides, boys and girls, think that the others have better but actually our problems are equally important
@@marjoram5833 Another meaning of that part is about how different the world would be if everybody was the same gender, same race, same sexuality
Him: cries
Me: yeah, cavetown does that to you.

i feel like bill would be the only person to say "i dont need ads right now- but thank you though"
that's just poetic- one hell of a way to skip ad
Cavetown is just that artist who makes music every can relate to, trans people, ace people, literally anyone can listen to him and relate to him and feel comfortable, his music was like a hug when no one would give me one, it helped me come out as trans after I listened to Lemon Boy on loop for hours
EDIT: OMG I HAVE SO MANY LIKES I FEEL LIKE I COULD PUNCH GOD IN THE FACE!!!!! THANKS FRIENDOS
Exactly, as an ace person, This Is Home really helped so freaking much like god.
Yess I'm trans and Home has definitely made me cry more than once
The og "This is Home" Is something that has helped me process my transition in amazing ways. Sometimes I get so caught up in fear of being wrong about gender, coming out, never passing, ect. "This is Home" was the first piece of content that helped me realise that I can take it slow, and that I don't need to know everything right now. :') Glad Im not the only one who is obsessed with this specific song.
songs like Boys Will Be Bugs, Lemon Boy, Rocket Ships, all of that, they all help me confront my feelings, I always attach one of his songs to how I'm feeling and whenever I listen to them I feel happier than before and all this happened because I was a animatic of Gravity Falls with This Is Home playing
" Hug All Your Friends " gives me big warm hug vibes everytime I'm listening to it
Cavetown is the artist I listen to when I feel very anxious or sad because it makes me feel at peace in a way, it has a very soothing sound and the lyrics are still deep as hell, it makes me feel safe and I love his voice so much I can't really express how much I love him
Exactly
So true but I just listen to him whenever
He made a song to listen to when you are having an anxiety attack I think it's called candle or candles or something
basically, we feel at home at Robbies place
I agree, I feel like a lot of his music is admittedly very sad but in a way that when you're sad, it doesn't make it worse but instead makes you feel at peace and very understood. Personally though the sadder sounds do tend to bring me down when I'm happy but that might just be because I associate it with sadder times now
Him: *Beautifully analyzes lemon boy*
Me: mmmm lemon preeety sooounds
Both ways of taking in music and art is valid :')
@thethirdbill
Holy crap that’s so wholesome
@@Theoncestsystem Is this youtuber just a giant fluffy ball of wholesomeness or what?- TwT
Fun fact: when I saw Robin in concert I started crying because I was having a panic attack (I have trouble in big crowds and holy shit his music is so touching) but then he made eye contact with me during almost all of this is home and i stopped and just stared at him because well it's Robin
Yeah a couple months ago my friend collapsed in the concert in dublin and he was near the front and it was like in between songs so robbie like bent down to the edge of the stage to check up that he was okay and stuff and my friend like stopped breathing from it.
I had a similar thing in the same concert of SPD, I cant do super loud things and super bright flashy things at the same time without my brain breaking, so I had to cover my eyes during the concert, but theres a bit where everyone looked up and gasped cos the light hit a disco ball and when I looked back to the stage robbie looked at me as though to be sure I'm good and it's just,, ,,,,,hes a gud boye
thats so sweet,,

I really recommend you the new version of this is home, his voice is much better and mature and there's a sweet new arrangement ♥ also its music video is really nice too!
edit: devil town also has a new version with his current voice (yeah I'm commenting while watching the video)
agree!!! i love that picture book I'd love to own one it's so beautiful and awesome
Omg yesh
Yes i really hope hes does a part 2 with the new versions
that version made me c r y
Agreed! The new version of Devil Town is one of my favorite songs so I'd totally recommend that too
You got it right with the “this is home” review, cavetown is aromantic
I actually didn't know he was Aroace until today! I knew he was trans, but that's really neat!
@ASHLYN CARRILLO Lmao, it's fine. I'm not exactly sure when he said it, but I've seen a lot of stuff about it. I recommend you look it up yourself
@ASHLYN CARRILLO it was during him apologizing for the slurs and the stuff he did on twitter
@ASHLYN CARRILLO he said it in his twitter while addressing things he’s done
he said the t-slur (tr@nny) a while ago and said that he can say it because he’s trans! :)
Oh I thought it was about him being trans because of the line "ill cover up my chest and figure out a way to get us out of here"
Him: I thought they were gonna attack that kid
Me: Little did he know he was a 21 year old man
tf i thought he was like 17
Thats the trans experience babey
@@CoRLex-jh5vx wait is he trans+
@@youcallmelavender3864 idk, I'm just referencing the very typical trans masc experience of people thinking you're 12 during early transition
@@youcallmelavender3864 yup!
Cavetown has actually remastered this is home (now called Home), and Devil Town. You should listen to those. Hug all ur friends is an old one but was never released until recently. Also please please PLEASE listen to Fool thanks
Hug All Ur Friends was released but it was differently structured than the one most people know. It was released in one of his old bandcamp albums. I can't remember which one sadly. It was also released on his channel. You just have to look in the right places.
@@Rainn420 I just remember the one he recorded with him and the ukulele
@@carterulery That's the one I'm talking about lmao.
@@Rainn420 that's not really released its more like a demo but yeah
I like the original devil town much more
Bill said "this is home" and I immediately went "oh no! Here come the tears."
Liara Zap same -_-
Same
here comes the tears doo doo doo
I completely understand your reaction to “This is Home”, that was the first Cavetown song I ever heard and finally got to see him preform
it live a couple months back. It cuts deep, and helped me through many dark moments in my life. That carries throughout all his music, and one of the reasons why I became such a big fan. I’m glad you liked him!
Aylin Ixchel I found this is home on a UA-cam playlist so that was the first song I heard too 🥺 I went to two concerts, he certainly is amazing
This is home is stuck a powerful song for trans people or everyone going through a identity crisis.
Omg I got a like from thethirdbill thanks!!!
You dont understand how much this mean being a transgender youth thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤
How about dysphoria? The song, I mean.
As someone who's both trans and ace it's the ultimate comfort song! God Cavetwon is so good
@@sotired2245 I'm not sure if you're asking how the song is about dysphoria or what, but if you are... the song has lyrics like: "I'll hide my chest, cut my hair..." and "his hair's a mess and he doesn't know who he is yet." Trans guys and girls too often go through struggles expressing themselves, especially changing their physical appearance and hair. The hide my chest thing is probably one of the things most pointing towards dysphoria though.
“I only kind of cried” is a powerful statement
Maybe trying to stan Mother Mother? They're a really cool band
Yessssss totally agree
god PLEASE
Yes!!!!!!
Absolutely!
Hell yeah! Mother Mother is great!
"my tummy hurts" sums up the confusing feels that cavetown gives me.
Same
i love how This Is Home, which was created by a 13 year old, makes even grown men cry
HE WAS 13 WHEN HE WROTE THAT??
@@just_a_jester420 I think so he’s voice change a lot not going to lie but he’s still sounds beautiful and he’s cute to ☺️
Hello my fellow stay
13???? WHAT
WAIT HE WAS 13?????
in the song "home", the verse:
"often, I'm upset
that i cannot fall in love
but I guess
this avoids the stress of falling out of it"
is about the singer's being aromantic and sometimes wanting to have that happines that involves being in a relationship.
also I love cavetown and his songs thank u for doing this video c:
mipitch jen Wait is cavetown trans?
@@hana-77 I remember the trans flag one. That picture was posted when he was dating his boyfriend at the time who was trans. also about his voice, its normal to go through puberty and your voice changes a lot then. My brothers voice changed drastically twice around that age. I personally dont believe hes trans, but if he is it wouldnt matter.
@@hana-77 Yeah I can see that, but I also take his songs about feeling dysphoric in a way that references feeling lost about sexuality since hes ace and i THINK bi. That's just my take on it as I relate to the ace part. That's why i love music, it means something different for everyone. I guess the main reason I'm unsure is because he said something about "Just cause i had long hair it doesn't mean I'm a girl", but that could also go the other way ( hes always been a trans man and having long hair before he transitioned didn't make him a girl). In the end if he is transgender he hasn't come out so i don't want to say he is because it might be touchy for him. If he isn't trans that's cool too. Its all about each individuals way of interpreting music. :)
Ellie Paige he’s not
mipitch jen he has said that he’s cis ! :)
Surprised youre listening to this is home and not Home (the 2019 version) I fricking love this is home but Home gave me goosebumps when I listened to it for the first time!
The violin sent me
Especially accompanied with the visuals- that face puppet with the movable eyes changed my life lmao
I s o b b e d when I watched it the first time
I saw it as an ad on UA-cam. I immediately stopped watching the video I was on to see the actual video.
Also like, the music video for Home is fucking amazing!!!
please try to Stan dodie Clark and/or Conan Gray!! they’re both wonderful artist that i grew up with :)
YESSSSS
both absolute icons
Yes Dodie lets make it happen
Yes yes yes
Dodie Clark for sure
Please do a part 2 (of course only if you want to)! If you do, I suggest these songs:
- green (music video)
- feb 14
- things that make it warm (this is a very sweet song)
-jacks song (this is a song about his friend who died of cancer)
YES
Pidgeon, the new versions of devil town and Home, hug all your friends...
And more importantly POISON
And if we want him to cry again "I promise I'm trying"
Dude yes yes yes
Oh yes green that damn music video. We gon make him cry again with it
who else here is utterly obsessed with Cavetown and knows every word to all of his songs? got my subscription
Dude yeah
Same!!!
Yes
I even went to his concert last year
And this year in March
And he is coming to rock werchter !
@@tivianengel7789 LUCKY he needs to come back to NC
If you were to do a part two of this, I recommend “Green,” “Pigeon,” “Talk to Me,” “I’ll Make Cereal,” and “Fool.” All of them make me cry lmao
Mr. Maxibillion omg fool and green are two of the best ones to me, even though they’re all the best aha
Pigeon is my favourite
I'll male cereal is such a masterpiece
Another one of those days and 16/04/16 never fail to make me emotional
Mr. Maxibillion fool is great. I cry so often at that one.
okay so lemon boy is a metaphor both for the singer’s negative thoughts and anxiety, so you were very close with your interpretation :))! i find it heartbreaking to listen to knowing what it means especially after the bridge when the music builds up on”lemon boy and I, we’re gonna live forever” meaning he thinks he is going to cope with it the rest of his life...
I found it super nice actually, like folks with mental illnesses can get really fixated on completely fixing our brains and it's usually really unrealistic to try that way. I'm not sure if that's ever truly worked for anyone, and it's much healthier to accept those parts of your brain and learn to live with them, instead of fighting yourself every day. That's really the only way to heal at all.
CAN WE GET A TRYING TO STAN GIRL IN RED? HONESTLY SHES AN ICON!
HELL YEA
I RECOMMEND WE FELL IN LOVE IN OCTOBER ITS MY FAVOURITE BY HER
YESSSS WE STAN GIRL IN RED
OMFG YES!!!!
YESSSSSSS
YESSIR
I'm not sure if he's done this yet, but trying to Stan
1. Hobo Johnson
2. The front bottoms
3. Pup (especially the morbid stuff album)
OH MY GOD HOBO JOHNSON YES
hobo johnson would be great
Hobo Johnson yesss
pup is awesome
@@iwillruletheworldyay ikr!!! And don't you think he'd really appreciate like Scorpion Hill, closure, morbid stuff, city, bare hands and kids???
I literally said “Don’t cry!” out loud and my sister looked at me weird lmao
This is Home is a really important song to me as a Trans person, "hide my chest, cut my hair" like bro this hits hard
same
Could you do a "trying to stan Daughter?" She's a really underrated artist who makes absolutely beautiful music and I'd think you'd like her :) Some song recommendations: Candles, Youth, Medicine, Burn It Down, Numbers, Landfill, and No Care
YES I AGREE
Yes yes yes!!!!! 100% agree
Home would also be great!!! :,))
Great idea! 👍
Omg yes, I'd love to see him react to run, smoke (I think that's what the song is called but I could be wrong), shallows and smother
PLEASE DO A TRYING TO STAN ALEC BENJAMIN, his stuff is so good and I love him and all his music is very deep and I think you’d love him
OMG YES PLEASE
Yesss
YES YES!!
Yes, we need this video
DUDE YES
Devil town- Cavetown is super deep
It talks about: Divorce, anxiety, love and more. It is my favorite song and there is 3 versions of it. Each meaning a different meaning. Its very fascinating and crazy good.
Limitd Orbitz one of my favourite songs :)
Okay I feel like this is the kind of subject that many UA-cam would try to milk just for views by pulling in people feom different fandoms but I like how you actually try to analyze and give your thoughts on all the things you see, it shows genuine interest and I like that a lot, I can definitely see the way you actually care for new music and just have a deep love for music in general
i appreciate that, and encourage you to see my favorite thing about making these videos (beyond the discussions, and my love of music/art) my hope is people who like something will watch my video about it, enjoy the video (ideally), then later watches a video i do about something they don't know, something different, and check them out as well and it gets added to both of our music libraries. :')
@@thethirdbill That's actually so cool! And actually really interesting and I should do that because discovering new things with someone is really fun even if it's just over a video
Lmao the tree falling down in lemon boy was an accident. He said so in the bts

@@sieyes8738 no *sprays with water* bad
If you're going to do a part 2 I recommend Fool, Juliet, Advice, Night Knuckles, Jack's Song, Hug All Ur Friends, Talk to Me, Feb 14, Pigeon and Poison. I also would recommend doing a trying to stan for Conan Gray, his songs are really good, I'd recommend Comfort Crowd, Checkmate, I Know a Place and the Other Side
Edit: woah thanks for the likes
And Conan gray is coming out with a new album soon, so I'd probably wait til after kid krow is released, but should definitely do a trying to Stan
i would also recommend banana bread by cavetown
i’d for sure recommend telescope too
YES
Meteor shower as well!
Songs that Cavetown has remade: This Is Home (cover) (2018
Home (2019)
Hug all ur friends (2019)
Devil Town v2 (2018)
Devil Town v3 (2019)
Banana Bread (2018)
Dysphoric (2017)
Juliet (live)(2018)
I'm sure they're are others but these are the one's that changed the most.
Duxxy Boi Just add water too!
jacks song would hit him hard honestly
@@the-treviathan oh yea, well he doesn't know the context of the song so as long as he doesn't know that Jack had cancer he shouldn't be sobbing...
Hopefully
Duxxy Boi ididnt know jack had cancer but i knew he died and that still hit me hard... i’m not nearly as empathetic with music as him so...
Dux Ghost and as of today he remade “I Promise I’m Trying” with the song “Trying”, which you can find on the new Sleepyhead album! :D
Devil Town for me is what best describes summer depression especially for me, just like that blur that's moving past you as you're standing still and wondering what's going on and why aren't you having fun
I love cavetown. He is honestly just a wholesome boyo that makes music everyone can relate to and has such a pure heart. Honestly he is just an amazing person that so many people look up to including me so thank you Robbie for being so nice and making music to inspire (:
I really hope Robin sees this video
He saw this video!! :)
Once my friend told me that whenever he heard the song Talk to Me by Cavetown he thought of me because of all the things I’ve helped him get through, and really that was the biggest honor I’ve ever felt.
that's beautiful :')
My god i would cry if someone would have told me something like that, thats so sweet
Me with my best friend! We've been through so much together
Yayy!!
For some songs like Home, and Devil Town he's recently re-done them cause he was real young when he recorded those, so u can really see how he found his own style and how his voice has matured and stuff :)
Fun fact: the tree falling in lemon boy was an accident but it looked cool so they kept it in
Damn, I never knew that!!
Man, that's kinda cool!
This is actually proven by the behind the scenes of the music video.
it almost fell on robin!
I think lemon boy is a metaphor for mental illness and how it effects your life and friendships/relationships with other people as (speaking from a personal experience) after my depression started getting worse it was more comfortable for me to be alone with my "lemon boy" than it was for me to be with my actual friends
If you ever decide to re-listen to him, whether on your own time or on UA-cam, here’s some songs I love:
Green
Talk to Me
Telescope
Fool
16/04/16 (Jack’s Song)
Things That Make it Warm
Juliet
Pigeon
Big Bowl in the Sky
I’ll Make Cereal
Hug All Ur Friends
Sweet tooth
Big bowl in the sky made me cry
Hug all your friends hurts me to the core
Oh! oh! oh! Also Pyjama Pants and Snail.
So basically all of his songs lmao
seeing a grown man nearly cry to a song written by a 15 year old is everything i could've hoped for in this video
isnt he like in his 20s- or are you talking about the songs he wrote when he was younger
@@hauntinqdream9935 yeah, I'm pretty sure they were talking about "This is home" :)
@frogchamp07 oH??
When it comes to Just Add Water, that’s my absolute favorite Cavetown song. (Or maybe Talk To Me? Or This is Home? Or Hands? Oh gosh now I can’t decide). But anyway, Robbie (Cavetown’s name) has anxiety, specifically Social Anxiety, and I think this song is talking about that. He doesn’t want to do things, he’s scared to do things, but somehow at the same time he’s lonely and feels misunderstood. I relate to this song a lot, there were lots of times when I was younger that I insisted I didn’t want to do things because of anxiety/depression - hang out with friends, do stuff with family, even just going outside - but at the same time, being left alone all the time, not being able to do anything, was absolutely crushing and I felt so alone. But I’m lucky to have found friends who understand me, who know that even when I say “please don’t worry, I’ll be fine on my own”, I need to know that they love me and are still there for me.
Yesss just add water is so underrated
I’ve never seen him clarify what anxiety he had, this is interesting to know thank u
its about leaving home and leaving his mam behind
I definitely suggest ten feet tall, everything is temporary, trenchh, big bowl in the sky, telescope, or snake and the prairie dogs if you make a part two!!!
Also Feb 14 would be good since it's nearly valentine's and Juliet cause it's a nice song
watch bill just fucking melt in to tears over big bowl in the sky (and me too)
And let's not forget about candle and hug all your friends, and the cover of I know a place is also really amazing
Everything Is Temporary is a w o n d e r f u l bOp but also Hug All Your Friends is so damn reassuring
Matty Spratt I would love a hug all your friends review from him so muCh
please do a part 2! he’s redone This Is Home recently (now just ‘Home’) as well as devil town so you get to hear how his voice has grown. and for new songs to listen to: Green, Things that make it warm, Feb 14, Night Knuckles, Everything is temporary (sticks and stones), and meteor shower!
he redid devil town? when?
EchoAlexander he actually redid it twice! Look up deviltown v2 and v3
@@tia2237 and the Hoxton hall live version can even be considered v4 I think
And Hug all your friends!!
I took Just Add Water to be a song about spiralling. It's anxiety and depression fighting against you reaching out and feeling the need to shut everyone out, then watching your social life fade away and falling deeper into that hole. It's acknowledging that it's a problem, but not knowing how to come out of it just yet.
"oh f*ck- (crying sound)" is the cavetown listening mood
When you started crying to This Is Home...
I felt that-
It’s my favourite song ever 🥺😣
I JUST GOT THE NOTIFICATION AND YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW EXCITED I GOT
SAME
OMG I WAS SCREAMING
S a m e
SAME LMAO
oh boy do i feel that man
Him crying at This Is Home is such a mood.
Also “This Belongs In A Museum” FACTS
First looked at the title, passed it, saw it again, clicked it.
This man isn't afraid to show emotion, and is so wholesome!!! I love this!!
*he must be protected*
Omg same no regrets-
I REALLY Stan cavetown and this guy made me REALLY think about the lyrics
Thanks UA-cam recommended
Me: crys to cavetown on a semi-regular basis
Also me: He is not crying to this right now...
You should do a trying to stan tally hall, they're not really new but really cool!
Ooh! And Hawaii part II
ya boi yessss!! would love to see this !
Yesss
Hell yes dude. Tally Hall is great
Yeaaas
I would recommend to listening to Waterparks. Listen to High Definition, 21 Questions, Rare, New Wave, Silver, 11:11, and War Crimes. All of songs are so good though.☺️
This was the weirdest comment to look at because my name's also Kate and I was about to comment the exact same thing 😂 my girlfriend's gonna find this hilarious
Also turbulent, dizzy, never bloom again, powerless, gloom boys, royal and little violence (and literally any of their songs)
I love waterparks! Definently
OH MY GOSH YESS
When he started crying during This Is Home? I felt that.
The song "Just add water" reminds me of a lot of the feelings I have where, I want people like to be around them, but I also want to be alone. Like that confused feeling of being insecure needing confrontation from people when I just want to be alone
Emmalemalo Love hi do we have the same brain? i get the exact same way. like i push people away because i think i need alone time but at the same time i want to be around people and be loved to the point where i'm kinda just ¯\_(ಠ_ಠ)_/¯
please listen to green, hug all your friends and home as well by him please!!
oh and also pls listen to anson seabra he’s extremely underrated and soo good
It'sonlyNiamhx and juliet, pigeon, snakes and the prairie dogs
You should try to stan Alec Benjamin he's amazing and not enough people are talking about him
Oh my god hes gonna sob three seconds in if he does this I NEED IT
Boy in the Bubble and Mind is a Prison
Really? I hear a lot of his songs on he radio honestly

These videos tend to be really emotional and interesting and I appreciate the open, honest discussion of music and how it relates to our humanity. And I love Cavetown's music. Great content!!!
Fun fact: Lemon Boy is actually about Robin's anxiety, the lyrics "I pulled him out by his hair like a weed" is saying he just ignored the anxiety thinking nothing of it. "Like weeds do he only came and grew back again" is the anxiety coming back and "So I figured this time I might is well let him be" is saying, he just has to deal with it and live with it. ("Lemon boy" is Robin's anxiety") "Lemon boy and me have to get along together, I'll help him plant his seeds and mow the lawn in bad weather" is Cave trying to help the anxiety and over pass it. "It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter sweat boy like him, so I got myself a citrus friend" is him figuring it out and knowing he has to deal with it, it can be tough but sometimes it's easy (Bitter sweat) "Soon his bitter sweat started to rub off on me" as he didn't treat it enough the anxiety started to take over him leading him to losing some friends. "What if I run out of fertilizer? What if the clouds run out of rain? What if Lemon Boy won't grow any longer? What if beaches dry of sugar cane?" Is Robin showing fear, he doesn't want the anxiety to leave because he is too scared he will change too much if it does and doesn't want to be different.
Did not expect him to cry that was a surprise, get sad yes cry no.
Cavetown is absolutely one of my favorite artists, his music is what I go to when I’m sad or anxious because its so soothing and meaningful. It’s not loud, it’s simple enough to not have to think about it, but at the same time the lyrics are so meaningful and relatable, that you want to think about them and understand. I’m so glad you were able to experience and appreciate his music.
if you do a part two I would suggest:
- meteor shower
- another one of those days
- Juliet
- jacks song
This man makes me emotional, ive listened to cavetown for ages, I've never cried to it, in fact I haven't cried in a few years, but watching someone else's reaction had illicted some tearing up from me for the first time in a long time
If you’re going to do a part two here are some suggestions:
•Green (music video)
•Hug all ur friends
•Pigeon
•Banana bread (remake)
•Telescope
•10 feet tall (underrated but I like it a lot)
•Talk to me
(Feel free to add more)
Dude 10 Feet Tall is so underrated and it sucks, the song is amazing!!
It’s U
Juliet
Advice
Meteor Shower
Another One Of Those Days
Taking Care Of Things
We're Alive
Its Okay
I'll Make Cereal
Poison? I like love that song xd
so happy you did this video on Cavetown. I got to understand Deviltown on a deeper level now which is awesome.
when it comes to other songs I'd recomend Green, Poison, Pigeon, Advice and Talk to me.
Me: blah blah blah "CAVETOWN!"
Also me: I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD!!!
Was that an Hamilton reference??
@@myownsunshine3570 indeed, it was
All the way from London? DAMN!
Angelica? Thank god someone understands what im here to do
YA GOTTA LISTEN TO METEOR SHOWER, FOOLS, TALK TO ME, And revision of this is home 2019 version as well as telescope and Juliet. VERY great songs also I don't know why half of this is auto corrected into all caps
I know you’ll probably never see this but I’d recommend listening to all three versions of devil town sequentially because that hits so differently and I feel like you would have a lot to say about them
I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure "this is home" is about cavetown's journey to realising his sexuality, "I cannot fall in love" meaning he's asexual
edit: to clear up confusion, I meant aromantic I just forgot what it was called and asexual was the closest thing I could remember. I'm not saying they're the same thing, I'm just saying they have similar aspects
@UC6eg_WyvdNDQsVuMY-pNU3g yess I forgot what it was called and that was the closest thing to it I could remember. thank you for correcting me :)
Aromantic
Sam A Is he trans, I thought maybe he hinted at it in his music and tried to research it but found nothing.
@@manyfrogs He's asexual and on the aromantic spectrum. He has mentioned that he rarely feels romantic attraction (typical for grayromantic people). He has a boyfriend at the moment afaik, but said explicitly that he still identifies as being on both the asexual and aromantic spectrum. I really like seeing him be successful in the indie scene because it's so rare that a musician is out as a-spec.
@@TheSnowBallet I was just saying that "I cannot fall in love" doesn't make you asexual, more likely aromantic but it's cool to know I suppose :)
suggestion! you should do a “trying to stan” with Zach Callisons album A Picture Perfect Hollywood Heartbreak its really good!
YEEEES
Aw yesss Zach is amazing
YES!!! I love it so much
Yaass omg I just listened to that it's so good, I'm so proud of Zack for going his own way and making music, not letting steven tie him down to some clean good boy vibe
Yess!
And then he realizes, "oh crap, this is Steven"
I really love cavetown .Robbie’s voice is great and the songs are always so meaningful. I know I’ve said it before but I think you should try to stan Dodie. Her songs are also a lot like this they have a deep meaning which definitely trigger emotions happy or sad. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Can you try to Stan: Chloe Moriondo? Cavetown produces her, and their music style is quite similar and has some of the same messages!
Whenever I hear boys will be bugs I cry, as soon as I found out about that song I told my friend and we spent hours or maybe days singing it. Hearing it brings those memories back. Thank god we are still buddies.
YES OML I LOVE CAVETOWN.
YOU SHOULD ALSO TRY TO STAN PALAYE ROYALE AND WATERPARKS
I second Palaye Royale, especially Mr. Doctor Man, that song is so good and has so many layers
Yes, Waterparks !
Palaye Royale yesssss
Please do trying to stan Chloe Moriondo or doodie Clark
robbie is one of the nicest people ive ever met.
not only is he an amazing musician, but
hes super sweet in real life
I saw cavetown in February and let me tell you; they have such a homely, safe atmosphere and their music is only part of that. Robbie is such a genuine person and talented songwriter 🥺🥺 definitely one of the best live performances I’ve seen
At the end of boys will be bugs when he raises the pitch of his voice, and he said that it shows the immaturity and how he’s still just a kid... yeah all I could think about is at the end of nightmare before christmas when oogie boogie dies and it switches from his voice to all the bugs and it’s super high pitched so it sounds like multiple things talking. That’s what the end of boys will be bugs reminds me of. Since oogie boogie is made of bugs and that audio and the end of the song sound similar.
Me: relates a friendship i've been battling over whether its toxic or not to the song lemon boy
Bill: hm this lemon boy sounds not nice
Me: w ha aaa t ?
If you see some red flags that the Friendship is toxic talk to them. If they dont understand and maybe try to get you down take a break. If after the break they are the same and maybe worse, then please think about leaving them. If they realise they're mistakes or anything like that then you can both figure it out together
Try to stan Chloe Moriondo !
Oh! She's lovely
If he does her, he'll HAVE to do waves, kindergarten crush, and kalmia kid
@@nobodyimportantt341 and also her music vid to kindergarten!
yes yes yes omg THANK YOU!!
i LOVE cavetown I've been listening to robbie for years his music has helped me through a lot of tough times and i just. love his sound and lyrics. and i got to see him a few months back with some friends and it was such a chill concert i loved it sm would absolutely see him again!! he's such a genuinely good and nice person. also he is Very cute haha
congrats on 70k man you deserve it ♡
also big love for the moomins ref in lemon boy lmao
this is home was the song i found him through and it means a looott to me
there's so many versions of devil town which is awesome. robbie has said that his songs are never finished he wants to/likes to come back to them.
AW YEAH okay boys will be bugs might be one of my favorites just bc it is so so catchy and fun (and kind of delves into issues of boys having to be strong and tough n all)
when he played it at the concert.. that's the song people went hardest to. thats the dance and yell song. bc a lot of his songs are like chill songs to just sway to
i have a boys will be bugs hoodie from that concert and i love it so much its my favorite hoodie i own
bill i already want a pt 2 pls give us more cavetown (eventually! you still have countless other artists to listen to i get that!! but i would very much love more cavetown haha)
more cavetown songs bc i love..
juliet
I'll make cereal
hug all ur friends
talk to me
taking care of things
To me Lemon Boy is a song about depression or anxiety. That might not be it but it's a comforting song to me for that sense. I'll explain why:
The lyric "he was playing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair, like a weed, and like weeds do he only came and grew back again" symbolises the time I realised I was falling back into my dark times (as I refer to them) and my initial fight to get rid of that, but the fact is that I can't escape it because it only ever keeps coming back- like a weed that I can't get rid of.
Then the line "and soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me" resembles the fact that I find it so hard to look for the positive things anymore, and that the joy and sweetness I used to have when I was littler is being swapped with a negative view on everything that's been caused by my depression. The ending can also be related to that. No longer seeing the beauty in our world, since to me it just isn't worth living in it if my mind is in a state like this, and if it will just die off anyway.
Then about the friends who "don't like compromising with a nice lemon pie", in my head this relates to the time periods where I isolate myself from my friends because I don't want things to be even harder on them when I leave. Also, the feeling that they don't care about you because none of them ever check if you're ok anymore, no one wants to spend time with you because of the fact your depression takes such a firm grasp on you that you find it hard to be happy and energetic (like the friend you once were). They don't want to spend any time with someone who's so miserable.
Then when it starts saying about "help him plant his seeds" and "we've just got to get along together" it reminds me a lot of when I keep things to myself which causes me to in some way 'accept' what's happening and therefore help the illness root itself even further. Henceforth helping the weed plant it's seeds.
The line "but what if I run out of fertiliser" makes me think of all the times I've been teetering on the edge of kms but then stopped because of the little things keeping me alive, and the fear I have of if one day those aren't enough, or if I run out of the things that keep me going. So running out of my own fertiliser.
Then the end, like I said earlier might be about the negative view of everything.
This video has been in my recommended for a while now and boy I’m glad I finally clicked on it
Me too! :') thanks for clicking!!!
I definitely recommend the band:
Studio Killers
I absolutely love them and some songs i’d say some of their best songs would be Jenny, Eros and Apolo, Ode to the bouncer, Friday night gurus, All men are pigs and Party like it’s your birthday.
Amy sanT I love that band
I would really recommend “Another One Of Those Days” by Cavetown. It’s my go to :)
Sadie that’s like one of my favorite songs
I love all his songs so much and that one is so good
I listen to Robbie's songs regularly and whenever I listen to hard I always breaking the tears so I tend to just listen on outside level but I always listen regularly sometimes I just listen to it to wake up sometimes it's just what I need to do to get moving for the day honestly I've been listening to CaveTown since 2015 if he ever comes to the U.S. again i will cry and go so fast my own head will spin.
