Yeah when I used to sit in bed and wish so hard to be 16 I thought I'd get up to all sorts of fun shenanigans but here I am writing a comment on some weird UA-cam video
*You feel someone watching you* "Hello?!" *a movement from the left, but a store gate slammed up with a loud bang* "HELLO?!?!" *A dark chuckle from behind* ... ... ... ... "I think you might want to run."
Depends. Years ago I had a job where I worked overnight in malls and shopping centers a lot. Some of them left the muzak running, others didn't. Someone's job was probably to make sure it's turned off and just forgot.
@@impinator-z4085 a lot of companies don't, because it just runs off the main power grid, I learned this because of working in Publix after closing and they open the doors to stores and the music is just on, kinda creepy if it's only like you and five other people in a massive store
Imagine is the end of the world and you’re the only person left. You’re standing inside of a mall where some of your best memories were made. You put on some music over the loudspeakers. You dance around and talk to people who aren’t there. It feels lonley but also free.
You know, this and your "Everybody Wants To Rule The World but it's in an abandoned mall" video really make me wish there was a movie about two teenagers trapped in an abandoned mall together and just when one of them is breaking down in tears because they fear they might never be able to leave the abandoned mall, the other one plays this over the loudspeaker and they start dancing to this together while imagining an entire fantasy ballroom around them and for those brief 3 and a half minuets they both feel at peace and in the moment. That would be a beautiful moment in a movie, and I really wish that movie was real
I can happily say that I had a similar moment, I was in 9th and (at that moment) my crush and I were practicing a song we were going to dance for her 15th birthday, I remember that there were 4 days left until her birthday party so we decided to practice in the ballroom where the party would be (Btw this ballroom was pretty big and it had a very beautiful reverb), our instructor was there, but then he went to the restroom while we were dancing, she was worried that she would forget the dance steps because our instructor wasn´t there, the only thing I said was "Just follow me", we replayed the song and danced while singing the song and looking at our eyes, the moment of just the two of us dancing and singing in a big ballroom at night was just of indescribable beauty, we nailed every dance step just perfect and gained confidence, and yeah, we almost kissed but we heard the instructor coming from the restroom, after that rehearsal we were prepared for that day and we did just amazing at her birthday party. We danced "Let It Be" by The Beatles Now that I´m writing this it does sound like a movie scene lol
For some reason my feet are tingling and it's so nostalgic. This makes me sad, anxious and calm at the same time. It gives me such wierd and mixed feelings.
it's giving the "you might wanna go home because it's literally 2:30 in the morning but you wanna vibe to the music and experience the ones in a lifetime moment" feeling
When I was 4-5 years old I remember this song playing when me, my mom and brother were riding in the subway train. I think my brother and I were listening to this song or something similar to it. Even to this day I like subway stations and going on the train. It is both calming and exciting. One day I might go exploring in a subway station on my own or something.
I think it is the layout of the stations and like one of those areas where there is a small store and bathrooms. Now that I think of it, it gives a backrooms vibe when it is empty at night.
I just wish we had the entire mall to ourselves, we're just dancing running, eating all we want in the food court, and driving that mini car that sells for 3M dollars in the middle of the mall. We can go anywhere we want, and we carry that nostalgic, sad, happy, exciting feeling within us. My friends, I wish you were here. I like to make myself believe...💜
i remember when my dad got really obsessed with this song. i remember swimming in my nonnas giant pool, there was just laughter, chatter and well this song. the heat was just crazy, it was so hot that the water seemed cooler than it was LOL- memories man, i wont ever get to experience moments like that again
Arstotzka has won the war. You fought hard with your brothers and a peace treaty was signed, cutting better deals for Arstotzka. You take a break from marching as your company rests in a small suburb area. You walk into an empty mall early in the morning to check out all the cool foods and shops left abandon. But the war has left the mall untouched. This song echos through the mall as tears fall from your eyes. You sit down remembering those you lost and those who have survived. You remember all the memories you made as you review your life. You spend the rest of the early hours listening to the echos of songs. Life is good.
I remember hearing this in Walmart all the time but it'd only ever be loud enough to just about make out the chorus, but even that was enough to damn near make every hair on my arm jump off
Can I imagine if there was no security guard on duty in an empty mall and u could play any music over the loudspeaker and dance wildly in a deserted building like no one's watching?
LOL most shopping centres in the United Kingdom are not even open at 2:30 in the morning and this is the perfect example although most of the shops wouldn’t be empty they would just have shutters on them Apart from the 24 hour ones if there was any
Can imagine if that same mall close by was still there as I remember as a kid going to and smell from the food court and leaving it a good memory I had. But this song really hits me in the feels now
This is so creepy but I love it:) I just wish in videos like this they would show more parts of the mall. Instead of one big part like shown in this vid
This has the vibes of ether you and your friends snuck in after close and are strapped with amazement and wonder and are going to have the night of your lives, or you got locked in and someone going to drive you insane or kill you.
@@giannibowling6725 No Life in general... Being with my friends in the mall, goofing around, enjoying each other at every moment we laughed.. or leaving the mall to go bs outside cause the carnival was in the parking lot, or to run over to the McDonald's, sit in the corner booth until we got kicked out... I miss all my bestfriends & knowing we use to be each others biggest fans at one point, just for us to only have feelings & to not being around so much :( Just wished we would've chased our dreams more then we should have cause now were almost strangers... :/
The good mall ending: you escaped the entities by going through the fire exit. You look at your watch same time you were trapped. Now leave. The song is a timer. Run.
This makes me think of what I thought being a teenager would be like when I was like 7.
So accurate
Yeah when I used to sit in bed and wish so hard to be 16 I thought I'd get up to all sorts of fun shenanigans but here I am writing a comment on some weird UA-cam video
Yeah
Now it’s just depression and sleeping
@@hannahcedar6783 lol
My mom used to manage a store at a mall and I can say this is an accurate representation of a mall at 2 in the morning lol
Comcat so true
@Baphom Hate wo wo What now Bro? bro seriously where at

Probalbly because a robber is in the store and he's also a freaking sycopath
He knows ur in therd
Its the music you hear after dying
imagine the amount of songs that actually play in malls at night
I thought they would turn of the speakers at night and the music?
@@impinator-z4085 they likely do to save on electricity

Its so weird how vividly you can imagine it

International goddamnit!
there’s just something eerie about empty malls
A mall is supposed to be full. Laughter, smalltalk. Hustle and bustle. An empty mall doesn’t feel right.
obviously what we had in a recent Covid Lockdown period.
Welcome to liminal spaces and the uncanny valley
know *that feeling* ? it’s so familiar..
I feeling the back rooms feeling

that other video you mentioned isn't from me! but thank you for this comment, it evokes some really lovely and visceral imagery
I wanna go back to 2009 so bad
And people in 2009 wanted to go back to 1989, and people in 1989 wanted to go back to 1969. Just live for now brother ❤️
1997-2010 were the best years ever
Yeah times were better back then than the shit that is happening right now
@@Sensatokiko 1997-2011 more like
@@martinlopez2816 no, just no. 2011 destroyed the patrimony of humanity, everything being to started modernized...
I love how this empty mall thing has become an entire youtube music subgenre
For some reason my feet are tingling and it's so nostalgic. This makes me sad, anxious and calm at the same time. It gives me such wierd and mixed feelings.
it's giving the "you might wanna go home because it's literally 2:30 in the morning but you wanna vibe to the music and experience the ones in a lifetime moment" feeling
this gives me a different type of sad
This needs more views
I can imagine a homeless man coming out and dancing lol idk
facts I can see the same thing
I do not believe my eyes
This is extremely creepy especially since nowadays there is little to no one in the shopping areas of anywhere
YES
im bacckkkk
im bacckkkk
I've gone to like 3 malls in the past 10 months and they where all chalked full of people.
I like to think that a janitor or a security guard is playing this through the PA system just cuz they're bored
As an Overnight Mall Security Guard, I can say that the music plays all night at my mall and it's a good time to practice your dance moves...
@@presidentmc9054 i need security cam footage of you busting a move at 2am to this in the food court.

Haha...
I don't even know you, but I'd do all this with you in a heartbeat.
Ugh... I think I'm starting to cry... haha
The mind is a powerful tool. We remember memories that never happened so vividly, you can almost taste it.
i remember when my dad got really obsessed with this song. i remember swimming in my nonnas giant pool, there was just laughter, chatter and well this song. the heat was just crazy, it was so hot that the water seemed cooler than it was LOL-

Bruh, the image is straight out of a liminal space video with sad music, but the music is just...🤣
Is it? :/

never thought I'd see a papers please reference in the wild
can they add this on spotify
I have found the good part of the depths of UA-cam.
I’d listen to this with my auntie on the way to Myrtle Beach... The nostalgia hits me hard..

I been to Myrtle Beach.

One word. Nostalgic.
Jack Hale is that you?
this genuinely feels like it's coming from outside of my headphones
Liminal space for a liminal song props
This gives a weird nostalgia
Nostalgia for a place you’ve never been and for a person you’ve never met.
Oh, this feels calming yet i feel like people are watching me-
Used to hear this song in the mall all the time when it first came out! Except the malls weren't empty.
POV: You're a hobo that lives near a mall that plays music 24/7 and you break in:
Can I imagine if there was no security guard on duty in an empty mall and u could play any music over the loudspeaker and dance wildly in a deserted building like no one's watching?
+Your favorite people are having fun along with you
Or
+You're lonely but free and happy
Edit: Or both! That works too.
This gives me chills bro
this gives me 8 am energy
valid
When he said fireflys it hit me hard
Aah man the feelings! 😭😭😭
I wanna go back to 2010 so bad
This actually exciting and feels so good in the middle of apocalypse
We are the people in the mall, so, run.
Pov: You're a security guard walking around the mall
OH MY GOSH IT'S ALMOST 2:30 RN WHEN I'M LISTENING TO THIS
LOL most shopping centres in the United Kingdom are not even open at 2:30 in the morning and this is the perfect example although most of the shops wouldn’t be empty they would just have shutters on them Apart from the 24 hour ones if there was any
This looks eerily similar to my local mall that’s almost empty now. I’m kinda freaked out now
pov ur the last person on earth straight vibing
now i want to go to an empty shopping centre
I just want to spin really fast while listening in the mall to this
Creepy, yet I kinda love it. Maybe it's because I love the song, but with that warn nostalgic glow of that mall, it's kinda... nice.
Holy shiiiit 2009 when my mall used to play these pop songs back then 😢🖤
I woke up at 2:20 then UA-cam recommended me this and I watched it
Just like airport
The airports are usually packed with people, even late at night (at least in my experience)
I can smell the mall holy shit
One of the best nostalgic song
I have no idea how i feel about this i want to scream and cry at the same time but i'm not sad (idk the notion of sadness has vanished since i'm here)
Can imagine if that same mall close by was still there as I remember as a kid going to and smell from the food court and leaving it a good memory I had. But this song really hits me in the feels now
00:00 to 0:19 is literally how I felt most of the time when I was five 🤠
This makes me want to go back to the 2000s so badly, time sure does fly.
waking up at 4AM at the Philly airport after you missed your 9PM flight the night before
i remember when i walk to cinema to watch inside out (2015) this plays when i was 7
Vegas and casinos 4am but than there’s always someone here and there
This is so creepy but I love it:) I just wish in videos like this they would show more parts of the mall. Instead of one big part like shown in this vid
This is happy, yet it makes me cry🤠
I was 12 when this song came out, still a banger 😂
Thank you
how clean it is so inviting . Genius movie is in my thoughts as if this belongs in that movie also.
This actually calms me down.. 😊
I- I don't see the fireflies anymore...
This has the vibes of ether you and your friends snuck in after close and are strapped with amazement and wonder and are going to have the night of your lives, or you got locked in and someone going to drive you insane or kill you.

you would not believe your eyes if a maniac took your spine (in a mall at 2:30am)
Deb shops closed in 2015 and if you zoom in do the yellow store in the center that used to be Victoria’s Secret
I'm getting a real "background music played on a Meridian-based phone system" vibe... And I'm 100% OK with that vibe.
I love this song so much 😭
Basically the All My Friends MV intro...
This reminds me 2020
