what’s more creepy is that you’re in an empty mall at closing hours and music just randomly starts. if it were during the open hours then it wouldn’t be as creepy.
There’s this abandoned mall in my town that I guess, now that I think about it, is not completely abandoned. There’s a small section on the ground floor used for getting your permit and license. My family and I went one time while my brothers were getting their permit but it was taking forever so we all explored the mall. It was basically empty, most stores were chained up or just completely empty, and the only reason we could see was because there were these skyview windows, much like the ones in this picture of the video. We got to a booth and my mom said it was a hotdog shop and she worked there when she was a teenager. My dad even came by that shop every day to see my mom.She said back then, it was a super popular mall. We then went to this to this gaming room they used to go to with their friends every weekend and Friday night. The picture from this video looked so much like the mall I visited so it just reminded me of this. I’m glad to live in times now, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to actually live in the 70s and 80s.
Reminds me of the place i went to get my eyes checked once, the place was in a mall now being used for mostly doctors places for various things, it used to be an actual shopping mall at one point before it died and now the only non office thingy was a walmart attatched to the mall and i think one other store
malls were really a big thing back then, since 2015 they going down with the rising of amazon and e-shopping. such a shame, i hope the trend of going out and hang out in the mall comes back
I've really been getting into this type of stuff. I don't know why, but the eeriness of it just sucks me in. It's as if you're wandering through a place that no longer has a purpose except to simply exist, and you're constantly wondering if anyone is there, anyone at all, dangerous or not. But nobody ever comes. It just seems so morbidly enticing to enter an empty mall.

POV: You've been running from a enigmatic hooded killer. Neither you or them know where you're hiding. To taunt you, they decide to play this song on their bluetooth speaker and walk around the mall.

@@jahsantana1 Can you please discribe those dreams? It sound interesting ... I listen to this song and visualising myself walking in this empty shopping centre... so weird :D But I want to know more! So what did you dream about?
This song was playing on the radio at work one night while my Dad was turning all the lights off, and also the radio. As he turned it off, the song went "But you didn't have to cut-" Me and another guy in the office laughed at the fitting timing. Apparently, my Dad never realised at the time.
It feels strange to me because it sort of symbolizes the end of an era. Life as we know it is changing . Everyone shopping online. No one wants to be social, we're all glued to our phones at restaurants. It's very peaceful at the same time, maybe that's all the memories ❤️

Same but i got creeped out on that room thing on the right of the images feels like "Something is watching me" and i've also seen this image on my dream except with no interior design plant/trees
Ok but at more or less the start of corona I went grocery shopping in my local mall, wearing a mask, the mall was completely empty and "heaven is a place on earth" was playing over the speakers. That was the most 'dystopian movie' Ive ever felt
imagine walking through here in a zombie apocalypse, everything overgorwn. all thats left are the rusty speakers booming this song, and bodies of people.
I was homeless as a teenager when this song was popular and I stayed in this weird partially outdoor mall thing that should've been locked lol. Some memories go away forever but sometimes the right imagery and song bring back a memory you thought would never come back
POV: You are a ghost who had been killed recently due to your Ex’s inability to get over you and you eventually getting cut out abruptly and they was the only who could have saved you since they was the security.You were filled with vengeance and wanted to get to pay, even if you were in the after life. One day your ex comes after 4. It was your chance. As they walked through the mall, you started to sing the song as well as having lightbulbs blowing up as the song continued. Your Ex was terrified, and started to sing back to you, but to no avail. You were too far gone. As the song continued, pieces of the roof started crashing down. At the last line, one final pillar hit them.
**Song name** but it's in the room next door **Song name** but your under water **Song name** but your at a party bathroom **Song name** but your at a abandoned mall **Song name** but sad **Song name** but your in a empty room **Song name** but it's in a empty parking lot
This video is so satisfying. The eerie vibes and the picture of the mall matches the energy so well. It’s giving me the feeling of nostalgia that I’ve never experienced. I’m a person who loves the vibes of empty/abandoned restaurants and malls. This song is such a masterpiece, if it starts playing and I’m at a place like that alone,I feel like that’d be the best moment ever. It’s all so strangely calming, yet the anxiety never leaves that someone else is there. And the strange feeling of the mall looking so familiar.. can’t stop playing this video on loop.
Now here I'll definitely have an overnight party by myself, cook my own fries, burger and get a drink at the vending machine. Right after, I look for the furniture store, find a bed or couch, move it to the tv section, and enjoy my life while listening to the music in loop.
@@Ali1u585 Sure. I worked at a Hot Topic in Junior and Sophomore years for extra money in the 2010's. At the time I was working weekend morning shifts and on the specific day that this event happened I had gotten high off pot and was browsing the /mu/ board on 4chan super late the day before. During the whole shift I was just out of it like crazy. When I had finally gotten off work I went to the storage area in the back which my coworkers and I treated as a break room kinda thing. I sat on the metal folding chair just doing whatever on my phone when I decided to rest my eyes and accidentally fell asleep. When I was awoken by the guy on the later shift it was 9 or something and just left. While I was walking out of the mall it was dead silent except for radios quietly playing Somebody that I Used to Know. Nothing too exciting but it won't be forgotten.
Well this is a mood. Ever just zone out and look blankly forward at nothing, you see everything in font of you but you're not really taking any of it in maybe you hear a song on the radio if you're on an car trip or something but don't think about it as it softly plays, all other sounds blocked out as you gaze into what might as well be the void of space til someone rudely snaps you out of your peaceful daze.
There are two realistic reactions I could give 1. Yes finally a place to call my own hangout where no one can bother me 2. Who on earth started playing this music and what are they planning to do to me
As if the song wasn't creepy sounding enough. This is perfect for a psychological thriller as the protagonist is walking around and the antagonist is right after them, hiding and waiting to be in their sight.
I was graduating high school a couple days after in 2017 and i was in a small mall like this but it was closing and the sound quality of the music and me walking alone in a mall made it so special and I’ll never forget it. It was the INTRO to “kiss me” by sixpence none the the richer. Those 10 seconds replay in my head forever now. 😢
I absolutely adore these kind of videos and the feeling that they give, it’s not..the surrealism but something else entirely I can’t quite pin down. Either way they always keep me calm, even staring at the still image and listening intently
imagine going in a deserted mall, hearing something play out music while moving, you find the music player and realize it's just a roomba on which a musicplayer has been ducktaped
grew up in a town where a lot of stuff was just starting to really hit its “dying” phase at the time. the mall that looked basically dead like this had my karate class in it and was one of the last few things in there. I could hear the quiet music still playing in the hall if I focused on it enough. The smell of gym mats in my nose… used to go to this Kmart which was in a building with a long pointless empty hallway. Liked this dollar theatre that was always empty and had no working heater so mom always had me bring a soft blanket. It was condemned years later. It always smelt like an unfinished wet basement. The laundromat we went to had a kids area, a living room, a pool table and plain metal chairs/tables next to snack machines. Always weirdly vacant despite looking like it should’ve been occupied. I was about 7-8 having no idea what nostalgia was yet I felt that “chill” ALL the time. My parents and I used to have fables about mysterious creatures living in the “back” and out of sight in some of these places. I had a mild fixation on the idea of friendly ghosts, and I’ve loved the scent of wet basements and empty spaces ever since.
Imagine Im running away from a group of bandits in a post apocalyptic world. I run into an abandoned mall, then this song starts playing. I dont have anything but a knife...😭
It's an apocalyptic world. You are struggling through the wreckage of the earth. And you hear this. "BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CUT ME OFFFFFF" is the only sound heard for miles.
Imagine you the last person in a shopping mall, and as the doors lock, the guards forget you. All the sudden, this song starts playing, and you see your crazy ex girlfriend/boyfriend in the corner of your eye, and they star screaming and chasing you!
In a beginning I thought this was kinda funny but by the end I started crying idk why, it made me so nostalgic. A lot of things have happened these years, I'm a little older now and my youth is not like it used to be, there's so much behind now, so many things I can't take back, so many people I used to love and I never got to see them again. I became really lonely these years and many of those friends probably don't even remember me anymore. So many moments that will be forgoten. I was so happy back then, I was smiling and making friends all the time. I can't understand why everything had to change so much. Now I can't stop crying. I was never a fan of this song really but certainly was part of an era, an era that I truly lived. I existed then, way more then I do now. How crazy it is to come up with these thoughts as I'm working my night shift rn. Good night people. See you in 10 years.
Fun fact: when I was younger I was terrified of the music video for this song. The reason? I thought the guy would get in trouble for drawing on the walls.
i love this kind of place because ur all alone but u dont know if someone is actually there. if they was you'd end up chatting about the place and being friends.
Imagine you're a broken hearted lover And you're working at the mall At 2:46 am You dance with that one mannequin that reminds you of her/him Then the mannequin sings along with you and you dance yourselves through the day as the sun rises And you end up turning into the mannequin but on a kneeling hugging position And just for you to end up seeing that you arranged them all in your head as you keep working.
just imagine you and your crush are walking through the mall on a saturday night... then you ask your crush if they like anyone. your crush responds with nothing... you ask them again, this time, they kiss you
That's so sweet! But the lyrics of the song don't really fit with the situation since it's about losing touch with a lover after a seemingly friendly break-up
Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die Told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love, and it's an ache I still remember You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end, always the end So when we found that we could not make sense Well, you said that we would still be friends But I'll admit that I was glad it was over But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough No, you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records and then change your number I guess that I don't need that, though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over But had me believing it was always something that I'd done And I don't wanna live that way Reading into every word you say You said that you could let it go And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (aah-ooh) And I don't even need your love (ooh) But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (aah) No, you didn't have to stoop so low (ooh) Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (aah) I guess that I don't need that, though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Somebody (I used to know) Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know) Somebody (I used to know) Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know) I used to know That I used to know I used to know Somebody
I guess I'm pretty lucky to live near a shopping center that has a mall there that's been built in the 60's. This shopping area is very popular and growing, ever since I've been going to this mall, there's just been a few empty stores, and in a year or two all these empty stores in the mall are filled in with modern businesses and stores, makes me happy to see a mall that's still alive that I can go to instead of shopping online or going to Walmart
This one hits me hard especially because the mall I used to go to a lot, it’s still open now, they always used to play this whenever most people would leave at night, and I always stayed there with my parents for ages to where they would just play this exact same song on repeat.
Imagine walking through a mall during a post-apocaliptic time and this starts playing
pretty much now....
We actually would be like somebody that I used to know before they wore a zombie
Then after, you wake up and a voice says: finally, you’re awake
“The gods have finally answered my prayers I get to listen to music one last time”

imagine walking through here in a zombie apocalypse, everything overgorwn. all thats left are the rusty speakers booming this song, and bodies of people.
For some reason I'm imagining myself roaming through the empty mall in roller skates and singing along
cool
So do I!
I was homeless as a teenager when this song was popular and I stayed in this weird partially outdoor mall thing that should've been locked lol. Some memories go away forever but sometimes the right imagery and song bring back a memory you thought would never come back
Ok but this is actually aesthetic
This reminds me of something, not a show, not a movie, but something I felt years ago, and I felt it again
POV: You are a ghost who had been killed recently due to your Ex’s inability to get over you and you eventually getting cut out abruptly and they was the only who could have saved you since they was the security.You were filled with vengeance and wanted to get to pay, even if you were in the after life. One day your ex comes after 4. It was your chance. As they walked through the mall, you started to sing the song as well as having lightbulbs blowing up as the song continued. Your Ex was terrified, and started to sing back to you, but to no avail. You were too far gone. As the song continued, pieces of the roof started crashing down. At the last line, one final pillar hit them.
Sammy Werbenjagermanjesen YES
This could be a series! The tune in different locations...Under water...In a bathroom....in the forest....DO IT!
**Song name** but it's in the room next door
**Song name** but your under water
**Song name** but your at a party bathroom
**Song name** but your at a abandoned mall
**Song name** but sad
**Song name** but your in a empty room
**Song name** but it's in a empty parking lot
This song is so strong it's not even creepy, it's just mood
If there's a ghost playing it you should ask who hurt it
This video is so satisfying. The eerie vibes and the picture of the mall matches the energy so well. It’s giving me the feeling of nostalgia that I’ve never experienced. I’m a person who loves the vibes of empty/abandoned restaurants and malls. This song is such a masterpiece, if it starts playing and I’m at a place like that alone,I feel like that’d be the best moment ever. It’s all so strangely calming, yet the anxiety never leaves that someone else is there. And the strange feeling of the mall looking so familiar.. can’t stop playing this video on loop.
Now here I'll definitely have an overnight party by myself, cook my own fries, burger and get a drink at the vending machine. Right after, I look for the furniture store, find a bed or couch, move it to the tv section, and enjoy my life while listening to the music in loop.
when the youtubers "overnight challenge" starts to get creepy
Just dance since no one is watching
Cameras are filming
I literally had this happen to me when I fell asleep on break in the back room of the Hot Topic. I woke up to this and the amount of vibes was unholy.
Can u please elaborate more
@@Ali1u585 Sure. I worked at a Hot Topic in Junior and Sophomore years for extra money in the 2010's. At the time I was working weekend morning shifts and on the specific day that this event happened I had gotten high off pot and was browsing the /mu/ board on 4chan super late the day before. During the whole shift I was just out of it like crazy. When I had finally gotten off work I went to the storage area in the back which my coworkers and I treated as a break room kinda thing. I sat on the metal folding chair just doing whatever on my phone when I decided to rest my eyes and accidentally fell asleep. When I was awoken by the guy on the later shift it was 9 or something and just left. While I was walking out of the mall it was dead silent except for radios quietly playing Somebody that I Used to Know. Nothing too exciting but it won't be forgotten.
@@Grass-seedling sounds wierd ... So how did it gave you unholy vibes what made feel that way
@@Ali1u585 it's just an expression it's not that deep.
@@Grass-seedling oh okay 🤣🤣 i actually take things seriously , so it was deep for me ..
Why does this make my heart hurt? Idk why but It just gives off this strange but lonely vibe qwq
Jessi Cartoons oof same
Hiding from the Corona Virus.....feels nice
Is there a playlist for these "Song X, but it is playing over the speakers of a large empty building" videos? I'm obsessed with them
You can easily do this with all music. Just look up ways to add "reverb" to audio.
That's not scary, that's a vibe 🔥
This is so soothing omg, childhood songs are the best. but in different situations, this would help calm me down if i were being chased by someone
Well this is a mood. Ever just zone out and look blankly forward at nothing, you see everything in font of you but you're not really taking any of it in maybe you hear a song on the radio if you're on an car trip or something but don't think about it as it softly plays, all other sounds blocked out as you gaze into what might as well be the void of space til someone rudely snaps you out of your peaceful daze.
There are two realistic reactions I could give
1. Yes finally a place to call my own hangout where no one can bother me
2. Who on earth started playing this music and what are they planning to do to me
As if the song wasn't creepy sounding enough. This is perfect for a psychological thriller as the protagonist is walking around and the antagonist is right after them, hiding and waiting to be in their sight.
supermarket lore:
I was graduating high school a couple days after in 2017 and i was in a small mall like this but it was closing and the sound quality of the music and me walking alone in a mall made it so special and I’ll never forget it. It was the INTRO to “kiss me” by sixpence none the the richer. Those 10 seconds replay in my head forever now. 😢
Finally...a place I can sing this song loudly and no one will hear me!
I can still remember how life was when this song first was popular
Something about a popular song playing in a liminal space makes it less scary
I absolutely adore these kind of videos and the feeling that they give, it’s not..the surrealism but something else entirely I can’t quite pin down. Either way they always keep me calm, even staring at the still image and listening intently
I love the chills and vibe it gives me
imagine going in a deserted mall, hearing something play out music while moving, you find the music player and realize it's just a roomba on which a musicplayer has been ducktaped
grew up in a town where a lot of stuff was just starting to really hit its “dying” phase at the time. the mall that looked basically dead like this had my karate class in it and was one of the last few things in there. I could hear the quiet music still playing in the hall if I focused on it enough. The smell of gym mats in my nose… used to go to this Kmart which was in a building with a long pointless empty hallway. Liked this dollar theatre that was always empty and had no working heater so mom always had me bring a soft blanket. It was condemned years later. It always smelt like an unfinished wet basement. The laundromat we went to had a kids area, a living room, a pool table and plain metal chairs/tables next to snack machines. Always weirdly vacant despite looking like it should’ve been occupied. I was about 7-8 having no idea what nostalgia was yet I felt that “chill” ALL the time. My parents and I used to have fables about mysterious creatures living in the “back” and out of sight in some of these places. I had a mild fixation on the idea of friendly ghosts, and I’ve loved the scent of wet basements and empty spaces ever since.
Imagine Im running away from a group of bandits in a post apocalyptic world. I run into an abandoned mall, then this song starts playing. I dont have anything but a knife...😭
U have my cousins name wtf
Somehow every time I hear this song it feels like I'm back to 1950-1960. And it made me feel like I was living in that time
It's an apocalyptic world. You are struggling through the wreckage of the earth. And you hear this. "BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CUT ME OFFFFFF" is the only sound heard for miles.
Ive heard this song blasted in a half dead mall, thanks for finding the vibe for me.
Imagine you the last person in a shopping mall, and as the doors lock, the guards forget you. All the sudden, this song starts playing, and you see your crazy ex girlfriend/boyfriend in the corner of your eye, and they star screaming and chasing you!
In a beginning I thought this was kinda funny but by the end I started crying idk why, it made me so nostalgic. A lot of things have happened these years, I'm a little older now and my youth is not like it used to be, there's so much behind now, so many things I can't take back, so many people I used to love and I never got to see them again. I became really lonely these years and many of those friends probably don't even remember me anymore. So many moments that will be forgoten. I was so happy back then, I was smiling and making friends all the time. I can't understand why everything had to change so much. Now I can't stop crying. I was never a fan of this song really but certainly was part of an era, an era that I truly lived. I existed then, way more then I do now. How crazy it is to come up with these thoughts as I'm working my night shift rn. Good night people. See you in 10 years.
"Now you're just somebody that l used to know"
*Damn that hits hard in this vid*
Fun fact: when I was younger I was terrified of the music video for this song. The reason? I thought the guy would get in trouble for drawing on the walls.
Hahah that’s cute
Worked at a movie theater for my first job. This reminds me of working late, dead weeknights while movie trailers played in the lobby.
This would be terrifying for me, the instrumental of this gives me chills sometimes, especially 2:18
I’m just imagining myself singing this with the ghosts that reside in the mall
Not sure why this was recommended but I’m glad it was! 😂
Imagine playing hide and seek in an empty mall with the love of your life, then this song suddenly plays
I feel like I’m in a mall and all of my imaginations just come alive
That’s a lot of sun coming through those skylights for 4:13am
i love this kind of place because ur all alone but u dont know if someone is actually there. if they was you'd end up chatting about the place and being friends.
Making the time 4:13 brought up intense flashbacks
sharpie bath
@@realorganizationxiii 😨
I just came from the video where someone suggested that
Haha thanks for checking me out
I love the specific time "4:13 am".
This song and THAT room is like my worst nightmare
Imagine you're a broken hearted lover
And you're working at the mall
At 2:46 am
You dance with that one mannequin that reminds you of her/him
Then the mannequin sings along with you and you dance yourselves through the day as the sun rises
And you end up turning into the mannequin but on a kneeling hugging position
And just for you to end up seeing that you arranged them all in your head as you keep working.
smiling while crying
just imagine you and your crush are walking through the mall on a saturday night...
then you ask your crush if they like anyone. your crush responds with nothing...
you ask them again, this time, they kiss you
That's so sweet! But the lyrics of the song don't really fit with the situation since it's about losing touch with a lover after a seemingly friendly break-up
Imagine hearing this song while you're getting chased by a nextbot in gmod. Probably the most terrifying shit to ever happen
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS, THIS WAS THE MOST COMFORTING YET SAD EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE.
I know we are all making jokes and everything but can we also talk about how good this song is so relaxing in the beginning
Respect to those who enjoy this song for what it is and did as kids 10+ years ago, WAY before the meme became a thing.
@TheCandyMan nah

WHEN I WAS SCROLLING I SAW THIS VIDEO EXACTLY AT 4:13 AM
2010s malls were like being in something that was about to die but didn't show it
Imagine that you were locked in a shopping center and put this song at full volume, an incredible show 💜💜😄
Scary
I FUVKING FEEL THIS. I loved this song as a kid. And just listening to it while it echos is just sooo damn nostalgic. 😭😭😭 damn I’m old
this song is like 4 years old..
@@ZeranZeran it was made like almost 9 years ago.
nah it's still 2009
yeah fucking hell I remember this playing when I was 7
Came here for the title, recieved exactly what I was promised. 10/10 narration, amazing storyline and I loved the character development
This is the sunniest 4:13am in history
I think he meant "4:13pm" in the afternoon.
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love, and it's an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well, you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that, though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing (aah-ooh)
And I don't even need your love (ooh)
But you treat me like a stranger, and that feels so rough (aah)
No, you didn't have to stoop so low (ooh)
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number (aah)
I guess that I don't need that, though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know)
Somebody (I used to know)
Somebody (now you're just somebody that I used to know)
I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
Somebody
YES THANK YOU
I guess I'm pretty lucky to live near a shopping center that has a mall there that's been built in the 60's. This shopping area is very popular and growing, ever since I've been going to this mall, there's just been a few empty stores, and in a year or two all these empty stores in the mall are filled in with modern businesses and stores, makes me happy to see a mall that's still alive that I can go to instead of shopping online or going to Walmart
Same I love malls
This one hits me hard especially because the mall I used to go to a lot, it’s still open now, they always used to play this whenever most people would leave at night, and I always stayed there with my parents for ages to where they would just play this exact same song on repeat.
Reminds me of going to a mall at 5-6-7am with friends or family that just opened. Its eerie to some extent, but nostalgic and freeing
