I feel you on a physical level, when I first listen to this song I didnt get it because the video speed it up so it kinda felt like fast mumbling but when I listened to the regular version I was just stunned, I felt like what he was portraying and I though he was speaking to me, it's odd isnt it?

this song makes me cry so hard a few days ago, I saw my favorite(and frankly only)friend walk into the bathroom after class. I actually went to quickly talk to him (he is transgender but the school makes him use the girl's bathroom, and I had to go to the bathroom too) since we don't have any classes together. I ran in after him, and when I walked in, my world crashed down. He had one leg swung out the open window, getting ready to jump. It was two stories, he wouldn't even die. I grabbed him, wrapping my arms around his torso and dragging him back. I screamed for help, while he kicked and struggled. I don't know where in my weak body that strength came from, but I guess it was adrenaline. A teacher came running, and called the police and my friend's parents. The teacher shut and locked the windows and told me to watch my friend while the she ran to get help. After she was gone, my friend cried and pushed me over. He screamed at me, "What the hell? Why did you do that? Do you not want me to be happy? Fuck you! I thought you wanted me to be happy! I hate you!" The rest of it is kinda fuzzy. All I know is that he is in a mental hospital somewhere, and that I'm not allowed to know. I also know he will never come back to school, and that we'll probably never meet again. I was in a state of shock for a while. The lyrics "So hug all your friends and let them know, you're not letting go. No, I won't let go." always makes me cry. In that moment, I didn't know I was crying. I didn't feel my legs and arms being hit repeatedly, all I knew in that moment was "don't let go, don't let go, don't let go..." And now I am left with bruises, an aching heart, and the nagging feeling that I could've have done something sooner. I knew he was depressed, but I never knew what to do. And now guilt is eating away at me. I miss him a lot. But it also brings about some kind of weird fuzzy feeling. You voice and playing go so well together, and even with a song that is kinda dark like this one, it feels so welcoming and friendly. Cavetown, this song is my home.

[@kaylasibay8070]

hey, i know your pain man. let’s be friends. if you ever needa talk ima always be here. i’m here 💗

[@drewmungus5841]

You did the right thing. Having suicidal friends can be really hard, because you want so badly to save them when they don’t want to be saved. It’s really hard. I’m a trans guy myself, and I would’ve really appreciated if someone had done that for me. Even if he isn’t thankful now, even if you never see him again, you’ve helped someone have a chance to have a full, wonderful life.

[@mintiwolff]

A K this story made me cry im not even kidding People comment "im in tears" sometimes, and yeah they might be but usually are lying I will promise you that you did something good and you saved someone, and im sure that one day they will thank you, even if its not in real life, but of its in your heart. You are a good person. ❤

[@sofiasweeney59]

I’m literally sitting here in tears. You did the right thing and you saved their life. Don’t keep yourself down because if it wasn’t for you they might not be here. You did an amazing thing.❤️❤️

I just wanted to let you know: The first time I heard this song was when this video was uploaded and I was in 8th grade I’m in 11th grade now and a lovely girl brought her ukulele to school and was playing this song (just the chords) and I had a huge flashback to when I listened to this song when I needed love Now my best friend is hurting and I’m able to send this to him. That’s huge Robbie and that means the world to me

[@Zoecat101]

[@livinthetplife9795]

this song makes me cry every time I listen to it. my best friend has tried to commit suicide three times. she doesn’t realize how much she means to me, if she wasn’t here, I wouldn’t be here either. sometimes I just go up to her and give her the biggest hug because of this song because of how much I love her and how much she means to me. she’s getting better, and hasn’t committed or self harmed in a while. thank you.

[@somtimesenoughidk9104]

[@Mary-ub6hi]

I see this song kinda differently I guess. My best friend passed away in 2016, she committed suicide. To me this song reminds me to hug my friends because you never know what could come next. It reminds me to always appreciate the people in my life and make sure they know I'm there for them. I never want what happened before to happen again. So to everyone out there reading this remeber to give the people in your life a hug, you never know how much they need it, or what such a simple gesture can do. Maybe you'll save a life.

[@somtimesenoughidk9104]

-Mary- I’m so so sorry for your loss, I had a friend who tried.. not too long ago. I known her for about 5 years at the time. We weren’t close but I liked her, she meant the world to me. She started texting me telling me it wasn’t worth it, all that Jazz. And then she started apologizing. I started freaking out, and it didn’t help I was in the middle of Walmart. I didn’t know what to do, it was scary. A hour later she texted me again, she tried to overdose. But her mom walked in on her and took her to the hospital. Ive has a couple of friends who have been suicidal. Heck I myself have been. So I’m really sorry for your loss, it’s hard. But I hope your doing well now,

[@elosch9335]

I’m so sorry to hear about this, but it seems like you’re such a strong person. I hope you feel better💕

My friend is aro, and she gets really sad about it sometimes. She said she feels like she is missing out on everyone and everything. She feels like she has no love inside her anywhere, and she is often shy and secluded and I am her only friend. So I did a piano cover of this song, (I can sing pretty well) and I sent it to her when she was feeling down. Just the simple few lines ”lifes to short to worry about things we did wrong so hug all your friends, and let them know you're not letting go” meant so, so much to her. She's a happier person, and she is feeling so much better about being herself. She learned the harmony parts, so we sing together. ❤️

This song feels like a hug, the kind of hug that is like a warm sweater on a cold winter's day. I really appreciate this. I needed this. Thank you, friend. I will listen to this when I feel the need for a hug, which is quite often. I'll memorize this and sing it when I need it. You are a truly inspirational human. Thank you.

[@user-pe3kg4ju8x]

hey so here's a story. I have Bluetooth earphones and I was sitting on the tube and I decided to jam out to this song. So I got my phone out and put it on (just as I arrived at the station). i walked out right into the middle of a busy London station and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't hear the music; so I turned up the volume to full but I could only hear it really quietly. i decided I'd figure it out later and rushed off to my next train. A few minutes later, I tried to figure out what was wrong with my headphones. I soon realised that my Bluetooth was switched off, and I had played this whole song on my iPhone speaker at full volume. In the middle of a London station and on a tube. U can tell it's a damn good song, because I didn't get punched in the face.

I've been playing uku for a year now and I love poetry and this summer I'm going to sit down and try to make a song out of a piece that I wrote my freshmen year which was a difficult year for me and reading it now as a sophomore I can see how I've changed since I wrote it.

So during the summer, my best friend and I have a 1-week sleepover, but this time, since her parents were out of town she was allowed to stay for 2 weeks. And during those weeks, our other friends and my cousions came over. Anyways, after she left, I was lonely and sad and this song came up and I felt it perfectly described my situation. "Whats it like to be alone on a Sunday? Remembering the times, you saw them just yesterday" She left on Saturday, and Sunday I was just overwhelmingly sad. "Sing me a song, tell me your thoughts, I could listen to you all night long. I don't care about my sleeping routine, I fucked it up as it is, but we've got so much time to kill and so many things to see" At night we would just lie in bed talking for hours, making up stories. I threw off my sleeping schedule, going to bed at 4 a.m. and waking up at 9 a.m. "Remember when we felt like animations, and didn't need A grades for self validation. Tell me about the things that you love, the world simply needs more affection 'cause" I remember when we met in the 4th grade, everything was about t.v shows and worrying if our crushes didn't like us back; now were are so stressed out from high school, and worried about if were going to raped and killed in the streets. Everything revolves around grades and intelligence, I want to go back to when we were younger. "You don't know what it's like to be nothing at all. When the night turns cold my thoughts feel like stone, and it's nothing I can't change, but I can't breathe anymore I forgot how to walk by myself, I could do with a little more of your help" I have from anxiety and depression, and after years of knowing and suffering alone, I finally reached out to my best friends for help, slowly I am getting better. I am glad I have the friends I do. This comment was stupidly long, but I just wanted to get it out there. I love your music Robbie, I think it's amazing, and it's great how much I can relate to your songs.

[@greylazovalcarcel5394]

Our parents allowed us to have another week long sleepover for winter break and she just left a few minutes ago. Recently I moved away and now we dont see each other ever day at school. Its sunday today and ive come back again to listen to this song. During break i met with some other close friends and _god I miss them so much._ Things have been going wrong recently and it is so hard just to keep living, I want to end it all so much. The only thing keeping me going is my friends, their support and love is one of the only reasons im still alive. I still relate to this song, more in fact, than i did before. My depression and anxiety is getting worse, but ill be okay as long as my friends are here. Again, this is pointlessly long, its stupid, I know, I just wanted to get this out. Hug all your friends, and let them know youre not letting go.

Hey yall, its me again. Nobody is reading this, i know, but I just wanted to update. Another summer, another sleepover. I am alone again, feeling pensive and a little melancholy, but its okay. My friend stayed for a week again, and I also had a new friend sleepover, the new one is from my new school. Their sleepovers were back to back, they crossed over in fact, so one of my best friend met another best friend for the first time. I think we had fun, I cant really tell. I had fun but I am so worried i messed up and they didnt enjoy it, but I am looking for the positives, so i am going to believe that they did School is starting again soon, and were getting older, ive been taking college classes all summer and so have my friends. I am grateful for the opportunities but i wish we had the chance to be kids. Worried about school, worried about the future, but ive got my people with me, and theyll always be by my side. My anxiety is getting worse, and my depression is still here, but ill be okay. Im still holding on, ive still got my friends. Im here and Ill stay here. Thats all for now guys, im sleep deprived and lonely, but ive made so many memories, and ive had so much fun. Turns out life isnt so bad, after all. Hug all your friends please, you never know what you might mean to them.

[@MPHammy98]

Gaby L hey, you’ve got at least one person still here reading this. It’s sweet, and I hope you and your friends are all doing well! Friends will always matter, and it’s good to have people in your life that make memories with you!

*TRIGGER WARNING* When I stared listening to you I was in abusive relationships where ever I went. home was a mess and at school my friends were horrible; casually homophobic, making fun of my weight, always making sure to leave me out of things, and overall just mean to me. The lyric "hug all your friends" just didn't make sense. My friends didn't even want me to touch them let alone hug them. I was close to taking my own life. In fact, I tried. I was sent to the hospital for a week where I met my current best friend. Listening to your older music made me remember how we met and this song in particular now makes sense to me. Love you Oli.

[@savvyjmay8028]

Why isn’t this song on Spotify? Probably because it makes you cry of how beautiful it is. It’s really funny because right after I listened to this song I went to school listening to it again and, well I cried again. My friend Quinn noticed and he hugged me. Want to know why? Because when he was sitting next to me, he could hear the song in my headphones. So do what the song says and hug all your friends!

[@debidewt]

hi so i normally don't comment on things in fear of sounding stupid, but i really really really REALLY resonate with the lyrics of this song and you sure as heck play and sing it beautifully. it's the best thing i've ever heard in my life. you're probably not going to see this, but if you do- i want you to know how much you've impacted my life despite me not knowing you personally or you not even knowing me at all. but, robin; dude, watching your videos and listening to you play your uke or guitar or talk about your adorable chameleon-- that's the highlight of my day everytime i sit down to watch your videos. like, honestly- i can't explain how much you mean to me, let alonehow much this wonderful song means to me... let alone how much ALL your songs and covers mean to me.. seriously, keep being your awesome self and i swear it: you'll continue making people like me or even people not like me or even animals like my dog luke skybarker happy beyond our ability to be happy. (seriously my dog smiles and is so calm and relaxed whenever i'm jammin out to your music and he's layin round the house) this doesn't make sense but it's almost two a.m. forgive me ha.. thank you cavetown

I only just discovered you today from your Slowtown cover and then found out you make original songs too and this was my first. Honestly, I was blown away. So blown away that I just got addicted and couldn't stop listening. I've had it on a loop for about and hour and a half now. Listening to it now actually. Thank you!

when i found this song, i was 15 and had just been pulled out of school and cut off from everyone i loved. i wasn’t allowed to have friends, and i wish that was an exaggeration. when i found this song, i remember crying. ugly sobbing in my room that had no door, wishing i could’ve hugged my friends before i got taken away. i listened to it over and over again, always finding comfort in the idea of hugging my friends again. listening to it three years later, i’m reminded that things do get better. i hug the people i love every day, and i’m so lucky i get to do so. it reminds me to never take it for granted again. this song got me through so much, and i’m glad it has so much importance to so many other people. it gets better, guys. really. stay strong. ❤️

[@remysteeves8113]

When I was 14 my parents found out I was trans. They took away my phone so I wasnt able to call anyone and I wasnt aloud to talk to my best friend. My mom asked my teachers to notify her if I tried to use a different name. My school counsiler outed me after I told my band director. My science teacher told me about the gsa. I went a few times but the kids there were stuck up and obbsessed with theirselves. Eventually, I got my best friend back (my phone too but thats not as important). Its getting better but i've still got a long way to go and am still only 16. I wish I were an adult so I could be completely independent.

I feel the same way. Recently as I'm writing this, I feel like I'm seeing my friends less and less, and started to miss all the friends who've been close as silly as it sounds.

But I'm trying to stay positive and not to think about it too much. Well, here's a story from a stranger to go with your story in this comment chain.
