Cavetown - "10 Feet Tall" (Official Audio)

[@yaboi-hd8pp]

i love all the precise little things that went into the album - like *10* feet tall being the *tenth* track, *888* being the *eighth* and the fact that the final track is an acapella version of the first all give the album that more depth. sure, it would be given that an acapella version of a song on the album would be the final track would be a given, where else would it go, but the fact that it's the acapella version of the *first* track seems very fitting.

[@izzylacroix4131]

I also realized that the first beat is hit on 0:10

[@Xenonnofficial]

@@izzylacroix4131 excellent

[@zerozeroeszeroed]

Also, for 888, the first 8 is it being the 8th song in the album, the second 8 is there being 8 letters in Lemon Boy, and the third 8 is there being 8 letters in Cavetown. (And, I did not come up with this theory.)

[@oragami2558]

also this song starts at 10 seconds in

[@PeterPhantomForces]

@@zerozeroeszeroed *Also*, in 888, the verses are in 3/4 and then when it gets to the chorus it changes to 4/4 when he says thinking in figures of 8. Always thought that was neat and didn't know how many people would get that. edit: don't quote me on those time signatures, I'm not 100% on it and I'm still learning

[@novalie1151]

I wanna be tall and scary, I want to be tough and protective, I want to be hard and cold, I want to stop empathizing, I want to be mean, I want people to be afraid of hurting me. Instead I'm short and small, soft, anxious, empathetic, nice, a pushover, and the one who always needs protection. And I'm so damn tired of getting hurt. I wanna be 10 Feet Tall.

[@nothingnormal9641]

I know how that is

[@barbiebarbie9208]

U ok bro

[@claudiag.9307]

I know how that is. I really think that's what the song is about

[@EveningRose_BigRed]

I've talked before about the connection between trauma and defiance. this song reminds me of how violent I used to be in middle school, as a defense mechanism so people wouldn't notice I couldn't pay attention in class due to ADHD, I didn't want to be seen as stupid. I was also aggressive for other reasons, just other things I internalized, this song always lets me connect with those feelings. I always expect it to end with "I wanna scare everyone, so that they'll never know." cuz it'd rhyme with snow

[@Luke-zv6bb]

@@EveningRose_BigRed I remember one day watching the birds fly past the window in my 7th grade grammar class. I loved birds and was mesmerized by their flying patterns and colors, I was completely unable to hear or see anything else, completely submerged in my own little world, I remember feeling so peaceful and relaxed. the teacher decided to instruct the whole class to shout my name at once. I jumped out of my skin, ripped out of the only place I felt safe, that felt normal to me. Saying my name multiple times obviously wasn’t going to work, but it was an unpleasant reminder that my differences were a “deficit” not a peculiarity or quirk, let alone be a gift and that I should fall back in line and struggle on work that wasn’t designed for children like me

[@pearlyp9898]

Before clicking on this I thought "alright, this is gonna be amazing like all of cavetown's music, but it won't become a favorite and blow my mind away" but then the violin first came up, and I realised I was wrong :'> Tho, I shouldn' t really be surprised by this point - I know the sensation of falling in love and it's what I feel every single time I discover a new cavetown song

This song makes me so emotional. I don’t have anything to cry about, yet this song makes me let it all out. I remember sitting on the bus when I was younger, watching the other kids walk to their buses after school. I remember I got 2:00 into the song when my crush walked by. I watched as she ran to her bus, almost missing it. Ever since, this song has reminded me of her. And also ever since that day, when my crush walked by, 10 Feet Tall was always playing in my earbuds. Just makes me so happy.

I don’t know exactly what it is about this song but it always takes me back to those far off distant memories of my childhood. The good ones that made me feel warmer. Those times I’d stop for a second at the park to just feel the sun on my face. Coming home from school and finding my mom had cleaned up my room, plopping down on freshly washed sheets Birds outside my window and I’d have to tiptoe to try to look outside and find them Driving by with the car window rolled down, my hair caught in the wind I’d swing open the cabinet door to climb up on it so I could reach the top of the fridge where my mom put the cereal so we wouldn’t eat it late at night Scraped knees, ripped jeans and grassy shoes My hands didn’t shake as much then

[@savvy7146]

I would love to animate this, yet I lack any technology to be able to and currently lack time to do it traditionally. However if I could this is the story I imagine. A kid getting bullied imagining what's it's like to gain power and scare them away to stop hurting him. It goes for a while showing how they treat him, for you to feel sympathy for this kid who did nothing wrong. Through elementary and middle school this kid went through things, and to help him he imagined "growing 10 feet tall" and "scaring everyone" so he can not think about how much it hurts. Later it's revealed that he's autistic and in turn receives this pain from kids, yet he did nothing and doesnt deserve it. But I want a conclusion to this, in high school he thinks of his past self and smiles thinking about how far he has come, he has friends for the first time in his life and is happy, no one is bullying him. I have a friend who is autistic and I think some of my friend group doesnt even realise it. He has learned to make friends and inturn is very happy ♡ I dont know what his life what like before so I can only imagine. And I know he's a good kid and doesn't deserve pain so I'm very happy to see him smiling with us. He is smarter than most and can do amazing things, he does these awesome edits I couldn't imagine doing, he has so many great natural talents that he works very hard on to improve. Every autistic kid deserves to be happy, it's just a little hard for then to understand other people but they can be some of the greatest friends. ♡ Thanks Robin for alowing my mind to wander while listening to this beautiful song
