sadly comrade as much as I hate to admit it I think you are right about that and it still gives me flashbacks of bad childhood memories (no pun intended) (or jokes)
this song is so sad and lonely yet eerily threatening at the same time, like if every person and every animal in the world disappeared and you were just on your own, having to survive while fearing the unknown and fearing whatever made them disappear
This actually resembles a former Sears location-- sad to think that this was once a bustling place, filled with merchandise and customers browsing the aisles. A shame that this is becoming reality across the country with regards to abandoned malls and storefronts, some of which we'll never see the likes of again. Hey, but there's always memories-- thanks for the video!
I have ADHD so I my memory isn’t as well in remembering such minor things like when malls were always bustling with people, I was born in 2005 so I don’t know if things were still good with malls around that time, but even if I don’t remember I still miss the feeling of going to the mall with my mom so much the mall that’s in Lakewood is pretty much dead now.😢😭😭
“It’s been 40 years since.. the incident.. you’ve been walking through your hometown, a once busy city now empty and lost to time, you come across the mall you and your family used to shop at on weekends, you knew you we’re grateful for the things your parents got you, especially since you couldn’t afford much, but now they’re all gone, when you walk in you happen to have stumbled into your favorite store, so many happy memories cross your mind that you can’t help but break down and cry”
I see the Toy store me and my friends used to shop at as kids. I remember picking out a doctor Barbie for my friend Tammy’s 11th birthday all those years ago. she always did want to be a doctor, it’s fitting that last I saw her she was one of the first responders. The pet store I got food for my Dog Gunner, he’s on a rainbow bridge now. The dinner is now empty, it wasn’t like that when me and Ashly went on our first date their on our last year of high school. She planned on becoming a professional cheerleader and I’d be her own cheerleader. I guess fate and other ideas. We promised one day we’ll go back here. So here in this dinner is where I will sit, as an atheist I don’t believe in any afterlife’s but if there is one then this is where I know she will find me as I accept my fate here. If there is no afterlife then at least my final moments will be in this special place. And if there is an afterlife then as soon as I leave my body she will come right through those doors and we can pick where we left off
"And now folks, A music break! alot of people have recommended the speaker to play Heartache! For all those grannies out there! Be sure to relax, and let the music get ya!" - The Speaker Announcer, 40 years ago.
you find yourself in an unfamiliar place, you could've swore you were just with your mom shopping but you took a different turn from her and now you walk through this empty, desolate space. how long have you been walking? where is everyone? more importantly where is your mother? just hope that she finds you soon. before someone else does. who knows what could be wandering these empty halls?
"The world around me doesn't matter. It's all crumbling. my life. the world. it's crumbling. The virus is spreading, and i have little to no contact with my close friends. food is getting scarce, and clean water is hard to find. i can't do this anymore. all my loved ones aren't here anymore. the world is quiet and empty. i can't do this anymore."
For years while walking through my local mall, still bustling to this day, I would picture darkness, broken glass, stacked shelves everywhere, silence.
We should be afraid of dementia, having no thought or memories in your head it quite scary. Then when your reached Stage 6 of Everywhere at end of time, you ask yourself: Is there a point of living if I forgot who I was.
Take some time to imagine this following scenario: You decided to explore an abandoned mall for the sake of taking in the scenery. You’re inside it and you’re snapping photos of what you find. A few minutes in, the lights turn on without warning and this music plays. What happens next?
I recently learned that my great grandmother got dementia, it was to be expected due to her age. But ever since I listened to EATEOT, its haunting knowing what Dementia does to someone.
Not only that but also when I think about traveling back in time to uhm… idk maybe December 2021 this specific song auto plays in my head almost every single time :o 0:01
pretty cool! reminds me of my first job working at the mall. i'd go in super super early (6 AM shift) and the whole mall would be deserted. the store would be playing random pop songs and parts of the store were pitch black since only motion lights were on at that time. Super eerie experience but looking back now it was pretty cool. i think i have a video of it somewhere on my old phone.
I imagine myself as a young child during the 2000s and me and my mom are walking through the mall I go to the play area for kids and play to my heart's content I blink and suddenly the windows in the mall are gone and the lights are on No one is around except for me

Something that people forget is that the backrooms weren't scary because of "monsters" in them. As someone who's had backrooms dreams before they became "cool", the fear is just how alone and sometimes lost you are. You're searching for someone to help you but it's just often-times that no one is there, so you're stuck there until you somehow manage to find an exit. Sometimes your guide might even disappear on you and your phone refuses to work or call anybody, as it out of nowhere now has 0 signal...
I swear this was playing in the old mall where I live. Only like 3 stores in there still open. Sad, bc I remember when it first open and how packed it was at Christmas time.
I can't express how much I wish the backrooms were real. Hospitals/empty places at night with no one there make me want to explore and walk around these places. Just imagine yourself in this world, in an empty hallway and this song starts playing...pretty scary...but relaxing? Just you and this background music... alone as the mall lights dim slightly.
I gained a fascination with the decline of malls in the United States after watching videos of abandoned locations like malls here on UA-cam. They often make me think of the nearest mall to where I grew up, about a 25-minute drive away in the nearby city. It was built in the mid-1970s as part of Edward DeBartolo Sr.'s real-estate empire and renovated in the mid-late 1990s like many US malls. Visiting there in the 2000s, it was a nice enough place to go, it had a lot of options and was a convenient place for my parents to walk around with me. It was one of a number of factors that convinced my parents to settle down in what would become my hometown. It was, and in some ways is still a place for many in the city who struggle financially to be able to buy goods and services at a fair price. Sadly, the mall along with the area around got hit really hard by the 2009 recession, and it never really recovered. It was like a fiscal equivalent of someone landing several stories onto concrete and surviving with permanent damage to their body. By 2019, only one anchor store remained, and it's still there to this very day, but it has blocked off its entrance to the mall's concourse due to it being a popular escape exit for shoplifters. It doesn't seem to get much business anymore either, as that's really the only place worth visiting there now if you have access to other areas to shop in. All the big-name restaurants in the mall had packed up by that time as well, so the only stores left besides the surviving anchor are small shops run by locals trying to make enough to get by. I honestly have no idea how the mall endured the 2020 pandemic shutdown. In the present time, about half the stores are empty or have their doors locked and light off, envelopes for unpaid rent bills sitting stuffed between the crack of the doorframes. Extensive water damage is visible on the ceiling across the mall concourse. The some of the vending machines still have retro soda and candy logos on them, which I think are cool, even if they're still there for all the wrong reasons. This music makes me think back on it. The times how the mall back before the recession, to how now it continues to struggle to just keep open. The indoor playgrounds once having dozens of shouting kids climbing and running all over them, now empty save for the new odd pieces of trash. Plant holders once with trees and other greenery now vacant mounds of dirt. The small water fountains now empty, their basins long dried out. So many stores that were one popular now sealed off in the dark. A time where the concourse, once filled with friends and family hitting the town to spend some money and have a good tome together have long since passed. It feels surreal to me that to people just a few years younger than me the age of malls seems like old history, how I lived just in time to see its last years in good shape. Now, I have doubts it will survive to the end of the decade. It truly is "just a burning memory."
@@JohnBananasIsInUrWalls Well, I don't want to reveal too much since it's not far from where I live, but I'll give a few details: It's in a city in the Midwestern United States and it's not Chicago. The mall itself is rather notorious for how rundown it is across the entire city. Despite the fact that it's towards the edges of the city limits, everyone has heard of it due to its reputation, and if you mention a mall in a poor condition on that end of the city without naming it, any local will know where you are talking about, even if they don't venture out into that end of the city because of the area's reputation. It has been the site of a number of crimes and even rioting.
Is it bad that I actually really want to be trapped in an endless mall or store or anything like this?? Just an endless place? Not forever though, just for a while, Maybe by me escaping or just waking up to find myself back home. I live my life based on memories, experience, and joy. It’s a place I could think, explore, and let myself let loose, I feel like going to this place would change me for the better. Being more grateful, understanding, likeminded and nice. And Being at a place such as this, would be quite the experience.
Hi, Tennessean here. I live not too far away from the Somerset Mall in Kentucky. The mall used to be full of cars people and stores galore. Now, it’s so barren and empty. So quiet. So…..eerie. Everything is gone save for a few stores here and there, but every time I go there, this song immediately pops into my head, accompanying my thoughts the entire time. It’s so weird. If you ever visit Kentucky, check out the Somerset Mall. Crazy, man.
If there is any truth to human voices and music "imprinting" themselves within walls of structures, that should be just cause to remember these places, the people and the sounds which remain. This is a portion of Americana which; like department stores; left us all too soon for shopping in cyberspace. "Brick and mortar" memories should live on.
your walking down the hallway of this mall that you used to go to, when you were a kid, all the fun, the toys that you bought.... is now gone. now your old, you don't remember anything at all, you don't even know how old you are, all you remember is being a kid, having fun with your family members, on july, 1970. now all your family members are dead, everybody is dead in this whole world, everything is over. your not dead though you just remember all those "burning memorys" when you were younger. you leave the abandoned mall, go to your house, you notice this isn't reality anymore, this was all fake, your actaully already dead, you start to remember those bad things you did when you were a kid, so you got sent to hell instead of heaven, so now you have to live in this dark world and stay like this forever...
You're not sure why you came in here, it was a strange compulsion and you can't help but feel a little silly. You remember getting lost in here, running around and calling out for your mother. That was 80 years ago now but you remember it like it was yesterday. It sure looked different back in the day, you catch a glimpse of something. was that...?
I remember going to the Beautiful Valley View mall in Dallas all the time before it was tore down. Spencer gifts was a must see because It was like going to a different world with all their weird gifts. 🥰

It was built in the mid-1970s as part of Edward DeBartolo Sr.'s real-estate empire and renovated in the mid-late 1990s like many US malls. Visiting there in the 2000s, it was a nice enough place to go, it had a lot of options and was a convenient place for my parents to walk around with me. It was one of a number of factors that convinced my parents to settle down in what would become my hometown. It was, and in some ways is still a place for many in the city who struggle financially to be able to buy goods and services at a fair price.
Sadly, the mall along with the area around got hit really hard by the 2009 recession, and it never really recovered. It was like a fiscal equivalent of someone landing several stories onto concrete and surviving with permanent damage to their body. By 2019, only one anchor store remained, and it's still there to this very day, but it has blocked off its entrance to the mall's concourse due to it being a popular escape exit for shoplifters. It doesn't seem to get much business anymore either, as that's really the only place worth visiting there now if you have access to other areas to shop in. All the big-name restaurants in the mall had packed up by that time as well, so the only stores left besides the surviving anchor are small shops run by locals trying to make enough to get by. I honestly have no idea how the mall endured the 2020 pandemic shutdown.
In the present time, about half the stores are empty or have their doors locked and light off, envelopes for unpaid rent bills sitting stuffed between the crack of the doorframes. Extensive water damage is visible on the ceiling across the mall concourse. The some of the vending machines still have retro soda and candy logos on them, which I think are cool, even if they're still there for all the wrong reasons. This music makes me think back on it. The times how the mall back before the recession, to how now it continues to struggle to just keep open. The indoor playgrounds once having dozens of shouting kids climbing and running all over them, now empty save for the new odd pieces of trash. Plant holders once with trees and other greenery now vacant mounds of dirt. The small water fountains now empty, their basins long dried out. So many stores that were one popular now sealed off in the dark. A time where the concourse, once filled with friends and family hitting the town to spend some money and have a good tome together have long since passed.
It feels surreal to me that to people just a few years younger than me the age of malls seems like old history, how I lived just in time to see its last years in good shape. Now, I have doubts it will survive to the end of the decade. It truly is "just a burning memory."
Which mall was this? Great story
@@JohnBananasIsInUrWalls Well, I don't want to reveal too much since it's not far from where I live, but I'll give a few details:
It's in a city in the Midwestern United States and it's not Chicago. The mall itself is rather notorious for how rundown it is across the entire city. Despite the fact that it's towards the edges of the city limits, everyone has heard of it due to its reputation, and if you mention a mall in a poor condition on that end of the city without naming it, any local will know where you are talking about, even if they don't venture out into that end of the city because of the area's reputation. It has been the site of a number of crimes and even rioting.
Why is this song so god damn comforting?!!
This sounded like a wedding reception going on.
Saddest thing is malls will one day BE a burning memory. With all of these online shopping and international shipments, malls will go extinct.
You can't trust online shopping, my friend. Half of the time, online shopping can scam you.
@@cosmicentity1520 I never do. Just stating it’s a worldwide thing
Is it bad that I actually really want to be trapped in an endless mall or store or anything like this?? Just an endless place? Not forever though, just for a while, Maybe by me escaping or just waking up to find myself back home. I live my life based on memories, experience, and joy. It’s a place I could think, explore, and let myself let loose, I feel like going to this place would change me for the better. Being more grateful, understanding, likeminded and nice. And Being at a place such as this, would be quite the experience.
I just went to Walmart like 3 days ago and this exact song played on the radio bruh :0

Hi, Tennessean here. I live not too far away from the Somerset Mall in Kentucky. The mall used to be full of cars people and stores galore. Now, it’s so barren and empty. So quiet. So…..eerie. Everything is gone save for a few stores here and there, but every time I go there, this song immediately pops into my head, accompanying my thoughts the entire time. It’s so weird. If you ever visit Kentucky, check out the Somerset Mall. Crazy, man.
Is music playing my every day......
anyone else want to buy a mall, and purposely leave it abandoned and play this when someone sneaks in over the speakers? or just me ?
How it feels in public spaces even if people are around
connection terminated...
Burning memory is slowly becoming a trend
All I remember now is that she was beautiful
My memory now… is not burning because you can’t burn nothing
Why does this feel,familiar…
music and pictures like this gives me an urge to make a backrooms videogame with this kind of atmosphere
Once i was all alone in my house during a foggy midnight, it was all dark (no lights) this music was heard in my head
move out of the fucking state
me and the boys chilling in the backrooms
This location from picture is exactly same in new game called: Anemoiapolis
Caretaker: Dementia is a horrible and terrifying disease, feel it through this piece.
My Grandfather with a pen and a diary collection: NO
I used to work at an airport and there was a Starbucks that left their music on long after closing time. It became known as 'Ghost Starbucks'.
Stores after MrBeast buys everything
This is the weirdest feeling. I want to be there, but at the same time I really don’t.
why can't i escape
it's been ages since i've seen sunlight
let me out
let me out
let me out

The theme song for life's deep thoughts.
It's just a burning shopping list
Oldest view in a nutshell:
Few years ago:mall: im famous mall every shops here!:10 years ago:wha…. Wheres everyone….?
If there is any truth to human voices and music "imprinting" themselves within walls of structures, that should be just cause to remember these places, the people and the sounds which remain. This is a portion of Americana which; like department stores; left us all too soon for shopping in cyberspace. "Brick and mortar" memories should live on.
I feel like this it's how empty dementia patients feel during terminal lucidity... It's dad and depressing.
This is just a friendly reminder to ignore all noises coming from inside your walls (nothing is in there)
Now you just made me think something is inside the wall
@@L-Destro Nothing is in there (100% true)
your walking down the hallway of this mall that you used to go to, when you were a kid, all the fun, the toys that you bought.... is now gone. now your old, you don't remember anything at all, you don't even know how old you are, all you remember is being a kid, having fun with your family members, on july, 1970. now all your family members are dead, everybody is dead in this whole world, everything is over. your not dead though you just remember all those "burning memorys" when you were younger. you leave the abandoned mall, go to your house, you notice this isn't reality anymore, this was all fake, your actaully already dead, you start to remember those bad things you did when you were a kid, so you got sent to hell instead of heaven, so now you have to live in this dark world and stay like this forever...
You're not sure why you came in here, it was a strange compulsion and you can't help but feel a little silly. You remember getting lost in here, running around and calling out for your mother. That was 80 years ago now but you remember it like it was yesterday. It sure looked different back in the day, you catch a glimpse of something. was that...?
"Bro, I thought you said the speakers didn't work?"
"...They don't..."
*it’s just a burning memory starts playing*
NOPEEEEE
This song is so good and disturbing it makes me think that If I die ill just restart as a baby. Life is just a loop for me
why does this give me 2021 vibes
if I heard that in an empty mall I would've pissed my pants immediately
Legitimate backrooms.
Now I feel like this place is one of Tha Backrooms levels
I remember going to the Beautiful Valley View mall in Dallas all the time before it was tore down. Spencer gifts was a must see because It was like going to a different world with all their weird gifts. 🥰
