Cavetown literally made a song to listen to while having an anxiety attack

[@subscribetofluffyenderpug]

or when extremely depressed

[@hurricanechild217]

If you like this song by Cavetown, may I suggest "It's Alright" by Mother Mother. Same vibes, that one is a bit more upbeat though. Both are amazing bands.

[@venskupensku]

Lupine this helped me when I was having a anxiety attack cause well I can be really anxious time to time my friends know it so they put this play while I was having it it calmed little bit

[@ponder_s]

I'm pretty late, but he has another called 'Talk to me'. It gives of a way different vibe, but its great nontheless

[@renaymontoya8234]

I’m constantly terrified that everyone hates me, even with my closest friends. I heard this song for the first time today. Not paying attention to any lyrics to the songs before. But I heard “of course your friends love you, what are you talking about?” And I swear time stopped. I instantly started crying... this song gave me some kind of hope for myself ❤️❤️

[@yourbiggestfan395]

I feel like you should work through those feelings with a professional, I had the same kind of anxiety and still do. What made the difference was their help. I wish you a lot of luck, and a lot of love!

[@renaymontoya8234]

Kenderick B. I have been thinking about seeing someone for it all. But I do want to try and solve these things by myself first (I know it doesn’t sound like a good idea but I just don’t think I’m ready to try and see therapists or anything yet.) but if that never works then I’m gonna have to go see someone y’know? But thank you so much for your love and support ♥️♥️

[@efoxkitsune9493]

@@renaymontoya8234 Hi, hope you're doing well. It's totally valid if you don't feel ready to talk to a therapist. Just know that there is absolutely no shame in seeking help, it doesn't make you in any way "weak" or anything like that, just like having a broken leg and going to the doctor with it doesn't. And also, things don't have to be like super serious for a person to go talk to a professional. Just so you know that it's okay... But obviously it's up to what you feel comfortable with. Best of luck & lots of love ❤

Anxiety can go jump off a microwave ;-;

[@wildlylucky]

Same. I want to rant about this because I'm so pissed looking back on it, so please ignore if you want Ok so I was in a shop, minding my own business, my younger siblings trying on shoes. Then a substitute teacher who worked for my old school (who caused me to develop the anxiety in the first place and has made me not trust teachers at all) walked near me and gave me a dirty look. I panicked, and remembered some bad memories, so I went to my mum and told her. She told me I was probably overreacting because the sub teachers scared me and brought back bad memories. THEN THIS BITCH GOES TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE AND DOES IT AGAIN WITH A DISGUSTED SIGH! My mum kinda looked at her like she was crazy because she had no reason to do that???? And I started having a big anxiety attack and obviously, couldn't do that in public, I was going to embarrass the hell out of myself, this was just making the attack worse. But I started listening to this song, and while it didn't stop the attack completely, it helped so so so much. My mum was beating herself up after saying she should've said something to that absolute cow, but it probably would have made the anxiety even worse. Sorry just had to get that out of my system. I have Cavetown to thank for making music because it helps me in so many different ways.

[@_inkysnow_4715]

I’m one of those people who bottles up emotions, seems pretty cold at first glance, and very rarely cries. Within this year and all of last year, I only cried three times. Two of the times having to do with suicidal friends (nobody died, don’t worry), and once because my dog was missing for days and I thought she was dead (she turned out to be stuck in a trap wire for coyotes, and she survived). This song made me cry. It made me *sob* . Specifically the line “You’re not a monster, and no one’s gonna shut you out”. I tend to think that someday everyone in my life is just going to hate me and want nothing to do with me.. but this line just made me feel wanted, cared for, loved... I just really needed to hear this and see the lyrics... so thank you ❤️ Me, now in 2021, having a metal breakdown and relating to literally every line in this song: *ugly sobbing*

[@leafash8969]

Leah Wilson Though I don't know you on a personal level, I understand your pain. Last year, people who I considered dear friends left me alone. It's been about a year and three months and I still have trust issues and such, but I am working through it, and I don't know if this will mean anything to you, but you can, too. In fact, you will. It turns out, as cheesy as it sounds, my real friends that I've found now were there the whole time in the background, and they have helped me and are helping me tremendously. There will be people, good people, good friends who won't leave you no matter how hard it gets. And I understand that it's so, so hard to get up and go and feel loved and alive again. But even if there is nobody in your life right now that you consider a real friend, there will be. And they will be so much better than your fake friends. Real friends wouldn't and will not leave you. Real friends are rare, but you will find them, or maybe just one or two of them, but they're out there, I promise you. And maybe, just maybe you already know them, and wouldn't have thought for a second that you could be such good friends with them in the future. But maybe there isn't anyone in your life like that right now, and that's okay. There will be. I promise you. And I know that I'm a stranger to you, but I want to make sure that you hear this from somebody who has experienced your pain and heartache and hopelessness. It's going to be okay. Yes, you might have some trust issues among other things, but there will be a day in the near future when you feel genuinely happy again. And I know that's hard to believe, but it's true. I wish you well, Leah. ❤️

My family is very transphobic so cavetown songs just make me feel better about everything

[@shinyhuman3441]

Cursed Spider that’s an Oof that they are transphobic ( and u should feel better cause this song is rad).

My father hates both gays and transexuals. I'm not either, but if I was, I'm not sure my father would even look at me. He's... not the best father even then.

[@Fancy-candles]

My friend wants to be a boy and I’m ok with that because I want to be a boy too and then sometimes I’m comfortable in my body so I’m confused

[@lacyparrish9389]

I needed this. I'm laying in bed, in my pitch black bedroom, still a little drunk, and having a whole mental breakdown. If you see this, it's going to be okay. Listen to what this song says. I love you. Keep pushing forward. It's okay if you messed up today. I messed up too. And tomorrow is a new day and if no one else will forgive you, I do. Take a deep breath and have a good day/night. I'm proud of you

[@a_dusty_book]

"Mom and dad love you, you can come home now" "Of course your friends love you, what are you talking about?" That almost made me cry, and I very very rarely cry at music.

[@Dead_grls]

"mum and dad love you, you can come home" "youre not a monster, and nobodies going to shut you out" SOBBING

[@theeekiwishon9214]

cavetown's songs are just free therapy.

[@JaydenCross-gf9xc]

“Of course your friends love you, what are you talking about?” I was in the middle of folding laundry when I heard that, and I just… felt something. It almost brought me to tears. I would have, but mum was in the room, and I didn’t want to cry and explain to her. I only have a few close friends (I can count them with my hands). It was a time where i didn’t get any messages from said friends. So that day, Pushing past my anxiety, I sent a message, but I got no reply. So, I numbed my emotions to avoid feeling sad, I went on my day. So hearing this, on that day… it just made me feel a wave of emotions. Relief being the strongest. I just needed to hear it. I wanted to hear someone say this. But I got no one currently to tell me what I need. Eventually when I got alone time, I listened to this again and just let myself cry.

[@windcrystal1349]

Dude, if you need an internet friend, I'd be glad to get to know you.

[@marymohr2799]

Don't mind me, just commenting so KZbin recommends this to more people because a lot of people seem to have really needed this song...

[@NxtSyncxng]

This song has been a comfort for me since 2019 and its still forever my favourite cavetown song

[@System_Spark]

“Mum and dad love you, you can come home now.” I was having a good time scrolling through KZbin and you hit me with this...

[@literallynobody1150]

this song makes me feel like someone's really there it's crazy

[@despairisdead]

I've listened to this song in my own time, but having it sent to you with the message "This is true about you, and never forget it" is an entirely different experience

[@Sniffles2010-]

Cavetown makes a lot of songs about saying you're not a monster..... And I'm glad they do. Sometimes I really feel like a monster and somebody saying I'm not a monster just makes me feel better.

[@skittlz2758]

"So what you messed up, at least it won't happen again." *That hit different.*

[@juniebugz]

this song really got to me,i've been going through a pretty rough time lately.my "friends" consistently ditch me and dont even talk to me half of the time and i just feel so alone.so thankyou,to this song.thankyou for coming up in my recomendations when i needed this message. :')

[@robin-vt2ch]

I started crying in like the first few lyrics, this hit hard. This song really gets to me bc I don't hear these things often and I believe that I am a monster or that everyone hates me, and most of the time I can't cry, it's like my body doesn't let me. And most of the time if not all the time I feel like I'm useless and ugly and not enough but what even is enough? I know nobody's going to read all of this but if you did thank you.

[@presqueviolettepotter5531]

Hey Same :/

[@Sophiaisamazingandcool]

Your an amazing person (I mean probably) from what u said. No one deserves pain or sadness live in the moment be you and dont let ANYONE stop you from being unhappy and most importantly talk to someone you trust a good friend will listen or a family member or even a pet just dont keep it in. I hope this helped and remember people care about you even if you dont think so

[@cloroxart]

Still one of THE comfort songs for me. I love this hidden gem

[@rinaizawa8546]

hits different when you're debating jumping off a tall building but seriously thank you this song just saved my life❤️

I always listen to this song when i cant control my crying, the music in it has a calming effect to me. Thank you

I love your lyric videos! Could you make a video for Just Add Water by Cavetown?

[@alexcason396]

Mayonnaise Thank you! I’d love to! I’ll try to have it done by tomorrow night!

[@wheres.jasper]

That's awesome, thank you!

[@alexcason396]

Hey, I'm really sorry it's been taking so long! I'm working on the video right now. I guess I underestimated how busy I am! I should have it up by tonight and again I'm so sorry for the wait!

I just need this on loop for hours, very helpful for staring at the ceiling from 12-6am

[@Fable637]

Cavetown takes your problems and puts them into a calming song. I love their music because it calms me no matter what. No matter what happens Cavetown’s music can always make me feel safe, calm, and ok.

[@genuinelyjustJD]

God, Robin always makes music I need to hear. This is my go-to for whenever I have my anxiety attacks, hallucinations, or panicks. Cavetown has always calmed me down.

[@froggiebug6029]

To anyone reading this I highly recommend art! Anytime i get anxious or scared, I like to splat the colours of my emotions on a canvas or scribble down my fears in a notebook. Once your feeling have physical form in the shape of art, it makes it much easier to understand your emotions. Or at least thats how it worked for me! Goodluck my cherrubs, have a great day :)

[@PonSealRove]

Last night I had the most awful nightmare in weeks. Someone hacked all my accounts and phone, then came to my house and tried to kill me. We managed to call the police but when I looked at my phone and computer there were scary pictures, awful things said and all my friends were messaged something terrible. I even found my art that I actually drew yesterday completely deleted. I started crying then I woke up. Usually I have more loud upbeat songs to wake me up but I instead came here to calm down… Thank you Robin for always having great music I can listen to when I’m having a rough time. “Nothings happened, you can calm down now” I really needed that

[@jillianjansen6501]

this summer has been the worst summer ever for me. my mental health has never been more screwed. i will literally sleep for the whole day because i’m so mental exhausted and out of energy. i have cried everyday and it’s gotten so bad to the point i’ve wanted to end my life multiple times or ask to go on meds. this song and “i promise i’m trying” have been one of the reasons i’m still here. i can cry to this and ill be okay. i’m so happy i got to be alive the same time cavetown is making music.

[@Zoe-dn2fi]

jillian cadince you’ve got this, you can keep living as one day life will be how you want it to be

[@arsonhycan]

I got a lot of mental health issues, and while it’s better than it has been, I have down days. Today was one of them, and I started playing music in the background while I tried to calm down. This song came on, but I was too out of it to listen to the words until a certain line caught my attention. “You’re not a monster and no ones going to shut you out.” I don’t know the singer personally, but something in the way it was sang had me double tapping over and over again just so I could hear that reassurance one more time. And the crazy thing is... I believe it. Thank you for this, Cavetown. For once, I believe someone who tells me it’s alright.

[@frownyian6638]

robin, thank you for your music. it really helps me get through life.

[@mochiattoart514]

2:33 always give me the feels, cause that's what I've been feeling these days, no matter how much I tell myself it isn't true.

[@fireflame413]

"Every time I screw up, I feel I've let down all my friends" This is relatable and also not relatable at the same time.

[@GreyPlaysTunes]

Thanks to my crush for letting me know this song exists, it hits on a whole new level. I needed to hear this.

To everyone who needs it, please take this virtual hug. Although today might hurt, and tomorrow might too, keep going. You got this :)

[@mnstercandeh665]

[INSTRUMENTAL] Nothing's happened, you can calm down now, You're not a monster, and no-one's gonna shut you out. Mum and Dad love you, you can come home now, Of course your friends love you, what are you talking about. Have the strength to push away All the pain of yesterday, 'Cause there's nothing worth crying about. Your heart is a candle, and I won't let you blow it out. [INSTRUMENTAL] So what, you messed up, at least it won't happen again, Every time I screw up, I feel I've let down all my friends. Stumbling through a thousand stars and neon cars break through my skull ( Stumbling through a thousand stars and neon cars break through my skull) There's so much life out here in space it's crazy that we're here at all (There's so much life out here in space it's crazy that we're here at all) [INSTRUMENTAL] For anyone who wanted the lyrics. Have a great day! ♡

“Mom and Dad love you, you can come home now” I always think about running away, but these lyrics always pop into my head, and they always manage to stop me in my tracks.

[@hannahmax233]

KZbin recommendations brought me here... This is amazing and I'm glad I listened and I love the line, " of course your friends love you, what are you talking about" this week I haven't been sleeping well and have had dreams about my friend saying they hate me and pity me and only hang out with me because they feel obligated to. They kept saying it while they thought I wasn't listening at sleepovers in my dreams. I feel so confused lately when I get up because the dream usually ends with me dying. It's different friends each night but it doesn't make it any better and they are the only people I hang out with outside my household because everyone I know is at church. Really struggling right now and I could write my whole backstory to why I have those kinds of dreams but I don't want to waste anyone's time if anyone reads this.

[@hannahmax233]

@@lilianavitullo Yeah actually, I'm doing really great! I've slept really good for the past few nights, no nightmares or anything. I'm getting better day by day and have finally reached out to a few people the other day. Thank you for reaching out to me. It means a lot! :)
