The first time I saw a real human skeleton I felt a very peculiar sadness and shock inside of myself. It wasn't a reaction to the bones themselves, but to what had once covered them; the strength, beauty, and complexity they had once supported. An entire world had once rested in that skull. How much love, pain, happiness and grief had that frame lived underneath?
As an artist sometimes you write about presence, and other times, absence. You use lyrics and music to run your finger around the shape left by something lost. This EP is negative space. It's the frame supporting something that should be there, but simply isn't. A harsh reminder of what once was; of an unchangeable breach in the order of things. Biting, but necessary.
This is my sackcloth and ashes. This is my 7 stages all wrapped up into one. I didn't want to put most of these songs out. They all feel excruciatingly vulnerable. However, I decided I'd rather end my life pinned down, splayed out on a dissecting table than be stored away in formaldehyde, buried with my secrets.
So here I am. Here's the knife. Be gentle with me, please.

I want to see Crywolf live but I'd probably cry the WHOLE TIME.

[@Zero-hd5sz]

It's worth it. Saw him in Boston last October. It changed my life.

[@smol5601]

I’d be a Happywolf if I ever got the chance.

[@RicardoSanchez-jo4yo]

I sure did for each of the four times I saw him. Met him twice, he's so fan oriented he always takes pictures with fans after a show.

[@marthashanabooker3042]

And I'll be right behind you

[@Zelus_ii]

Lyrics~ I know you've seen this all before. I'm feeble, calling though the floor Oh, I'm just a waste of skin But love is seeping through my pores Oh dear, I long to be your warmth Again Again Again Again Oh dear, I long to be your warmth Some day When I'm gone away We'll be all okay Alleluh Someday (I once was blind) When we're all awake (But now I see) We'll be all okay (Your pain lives deep inside of me) Alleluh Are you found here in the silence? (I'm standing here) Am I sleeping or awake? (I call your name) Like a song beneath the violence (You cut right through) You are asking me to stay

[@staraptor9959]

Sliv Zelus Your pain lives deep inside of me*

[@evanturner3206]

Your descriptions are the deepest things when you write them... Thank you for sharing the incredible intricacies of your soul in such a beautiful and relatable way for the rest of us to hear

[@Scrapsofdaisy]

Evan Turner Yes, indeed!

[@latenightcashews]

Evan Turner im so grateful that he shares them with us tirelessly

[@sophiethreeonefive]

DUDE I cannot describe what your music makes me feel. It's like my brain being taken on a journey up and down through a billion universes, exploring every emotion I've ever felt at the same time all while being taken apart in a thousand pieces and then being put together again in a different, weird, yet fascinating new way. It's not knowing where up and down is but knowing that it doesn't matter anyways because what I'm feeling goes way beyond all that is physically real. Like, "I might as well just fly away, because who cares about gravity if every other physical law has already been broken?" Seriously, I needed this song in my life. Thank you.

[@hellmaster2259]

Am I the only one who thinks that 5:35 beyond is just so sad but honestly good?

[@piotrripper7789]

💪💪👏👏👏👌🙌😢😢

[@justinwilley5024]

It’s hitting home very hard

[@Thiiago520]

5:35 this part deserve a full song :(

[@mr.steallyogirl9615]

[@piotrripper7789]

Mee tooo

[@lexplosia]

It never fails that I listen to Crywolf and I feel a little closer to myself.. my energy.. my existence.. and reminded of the fragile nature of humanity. Thank you for sharing what is raw and beautiful in the most delicate yet powerful way possible. I have huge admiration and adoration for you.

[@524Lissa]

It's such an honour that you have decided to be vulnerable with the rest of the world, and open yourself up... being vulnerable is one of the most difficult and terrifying things... but being vulnerable also generally creates the best moments. And, by the way, the EP is gorgeous.

[@philtommygino1]

I feel like the deeper you reach into your soul to open up, the more beautiful music you make.

[@Ivraiiyn]

This description is so powerful, so deep, you're much more than a singer, you're a true poet, words and lyrics are your strength and I'm glad that I can listen to it, there is so much meaning in it, thank you.

[@yuberzuri123]

Please never stop doing music. The beauty and imagery you display with each song is like lavishing within an art gallery with nothing but priceless work around you.

[@ramen3484]

You're such a fucking artist. Your lyrics, your melodies, your titles, your photography/album art/cinematography-hell, even your descriptions are pure art. I aspire to impact people the way you've impacted me. Much love and much respect

[@renangelo419]

Every time I hear a new Crywolf song my heartbeat jumps and my skin crawls and it is the most amazing feeling on earth.

[@ethanford9678]

That description is so deep, thank you for uploading all these amazing songs, they connect with my soul

[@Scrapsofdaisy]

Ethan F. Same, and yes it is very deep (:

[@Zelus_ii]

Crywolf always seems to amaze me. Every time a new release is out I already know I will enjoy it and it will always bring out emotions no matter what. I cannot wait until the secret song from the Facebook live stream gets released!!!

[@quentinisbell869]

What I appreciate is the genuineness of your music. It's not the fake crap that gets people famous, your music is from your heart. As a listener I can see that. And for that I appreciate your work, your art. You are truly inspirational and a pure artist. Thank you

[@federico9550]

this fucking song is so beautiful

[@simo9245]

I'm so utterly in love with the piano at the beginning.

[@contemtus]

It's so beautiful how you make people cry and smile at the same time because you make them feel like there's someone who understands them. To me, this is the most beautiful gift you can give to someone. I am truly thankfull for you existence . (please forgive weird english - greetings from Germany)

[@Subject0798]

This added 20 years to my life. Thank you Justin.

[@Jess-nz7be]

Catriona LaDue Sangwoo!!!

[@AbsoluteDiscGolf]

Hit play and immediately felt shivers The catharsis felt after the song ends is immense (catharsis: release of pent up emotion, from Greek theatre) Also 4:55 is one of the greatest things i've ever heard

[@yuribelmock]

Art and Literature is a form of contacting other people's experiences and feelings, and this is one of the most amazing features that we have as an species. Thank you so much for sharing this with humanity.

[@eltiodennis23]

Wow... I don't think I have ever commented on any of your songs or on your channel in general. So, here is me telling you what I think of your music: It is absolutely stunning. It has so much depth and feeling put into it, and the amazing electronic elements your songs have gives them such a powerful edge. Some of your work has helped me more than a few times to get through hard times, or simply to relax for a few hours

[@lovethatconsumesme]

if you didn't start crying till 3:07, then you will...this is so beautiful

[@anirudhmishra6460]

I swear this guy has the most beautiful and soul touching voice ever !! I'm crying right now. And that description is so deeeep

[@tommyvercetti891]

An Indian Crywolf fan? A rare breed huh.

[@miriamkapelaortega267]

All your music is pure art. I feel so lucky cause I had the chance to discover you. Thank you for inspiring us with your music, for reviving emotions that we can't put in words. It's one of the most amazing feelings that a human being can experiment, and it has no price

[@CreamiiTV]

The description of this song is so...eye opening. I love the feeling and the strength given through the song. The vulnerability in the cords, in the voice pitch. I love it.

[@livthelemon]

AHHH IM CRYING. Crywolf.. your songs are so special. Thanks for existing. Edit: That's probably why he's called Crywolf, ha..ha..

[@bpaulyz11]

congratulations brother you have managed to progressively get marginally better as an artist. im just in awe man. please never stop

[@ZanRih]

Your music always blows me away, but especially this EP was amazing. I LOVE THIS SONG.

[@yellowstar9875]

I love music specially yours, I listen to it whenever I get the chance like in long car rides or even to a store. I have come to the realization that every song has its own story to tell even if it’s the same topic, like a story. The song is the book and the album is the series. Your music gives me this certain aura that I look for in things and it’s best when I listen at night. I just listened to these for the first time even if I’m a year late I still love these songs with all may heart. I click on one of your sings and listen to the first 5 seconds of it and automatically fall in love with them. I read the description before listening to your songs and when I finished the description I focused of the words and the intensity of the music. All the songs related to each other, the description, and what you felt. I can’t explain how much I love your songs and how you connect them to the way you feel. That’s how I feel artists should be but not all of them are. They write about sex and shit bc that’s what people listen these days but not you. You write about what you want and work a lot harder than those people. I would never stab you with that knife I would give u a hug instead.💜💙🖤 you have a supporter here in the shadows sitting here in her home waiting until the she can do something great. For now she listens to her idol ( and will forever)and go through the hell that 8th grade is.💜💜💜 I love you and your music.

[@lanfrey]

I'm speechless from the concept of your EP. Such thought provoking material in a musical format. You're such an amazing individual Crywolf.

[@imaginestardust]

best moment, seeing an update popping up on the phone. Thanks Crywolf.

[@silentscreamproductions]

this is all coming together so beautifully

[@CMDonovann]

HOLY SHIT MY DUDE. every time you release something new i expect to hit that point where i think, "oh, this is just the same as everything before, i'm bored now," but i NEVER reach that point and i'm always blown away. this is fucking amazing.

[@bradiearchbold8401]

If any of you guys have a chance to see him live, do it!! He is an amazing performer and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to!

[@childofmaka]

your descriptions are always so deep and I love them. Not only that your ambient and somewhat ephemeral vocals always speak to my soul. Your art speaks to mine and its a beautiful, wonderful thing. Thank you for being honest. And thank you for being vulnerable.

[@fyrefleilove6961]

I'm so glad you're releasing this ep... this song especially is exactly what i needed today... 💖

[@AphixSky]

You're too pure for this world

[@limzx8627]

I was supposed to have camp today and I'm glad I'm sick just so I could listen to this masterpiece. yes, it's extremely vulnerable of you, justin, but it's what makes you special from other artists and your music makes me feel warm inside and makes me think from other people's perspective and I love that about you. ❤❤❤

[@julielaflamme7728]

Crywolf is my favorite artist he portrays so much emotion through his music and he gives feelings a voice all of his music is gold and I just can't thank him enough for creating these master pieces. Thank you from so many fans. I will forever be a huge fan. His music speaks volumes and when I listen I feel so much. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Ringo-Was-His-Namo]

Absolute beauty in the form of sound waves. Just relistened to the Ghosts EP not too long ago, and the difference in style between this song and most of that album is a little shocking. Keep up the good work and keep evolving, dude, I can't wait to see what you come up with.

[@kawaiiouran1055]

Crywolf can I just say, your music is absolutely beautiful and moving in so many different ways. Your music shows true emotion, and it has opened my eyes to what love, sadness, and many other emotions can reach. Your music touches the depths of emotions and feelings and thoughts. Your music is so much different than anyone's music out there because it's your emotions and feelings and thoughts put into notes and lyrics. I love your music so much and I love the description, not as a judge, but as another soul who appreciates these poetic words to go along with the album. I love your music and your writing and you. Thank you so much

[@embur4]

the description..... speechless.

[@ololusername]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you for the escape, crywolf. Your music is seriously ethereal.

[@Krolshi]

It's great that you're putting yourself out there more, I respect that. It's hard, it takes a lot of courage because you never know what kind of reaction you'll get. You'll inevitably get discouragement but of course and always, love and support. Basically, keep doing what you're doing, Justin. Keep creating the magic that is your music, we'll be here to support you :)

[@remonhidding]

Broken mirror, sharp pieces of glass in my tender hold. Envision clearer, rip apart your silk withered blindfold. Growing nearer, a twisted fairy tale of passion foretold. Feeling dearer, yet so far from my soul, simply old gold. Justin, you truly are an inspiration to my poetry..- Thanks for being the talented beautiful soul that you're if you ever come to the Netherlands I'll be certain to visit you. Lots of love. -Remon ♡

[@Bustical]

chills everytime

[@Lina-pp6gu]

Your descriptions are as hauntingly beautiful as your music, wow

[@dusk5121]

[@JonawiNg]

Your description is just amazing, and the music is simply beautiful in many ways

[@rkm8192]

[@gabrieldavidmusic7935]

Really Love The Way You Mix Your Vocals With The Beat , Thats what counts most

[@DavidRamirez-zr1jg]

Absolutely glorious song! That description hits you in the feels!!

[@emerly8565]

I would leave double likes if possible...for the beauty of that song, and the beauty of its artist's description of it. +Ethan F. my sincere thanks for pointing that out, or i'd have missed it.

[@adelinep5192]

All of your music is so incredibly beautiful. I feel a full range of emotions when listening. You’ve worked so hard and it shows. Keep creating. Thank you for sharing.

[@courtney4751]

Thank you so much. I can't describe how much all your songs mean for me. They soothe and elicit emotion in a way that is so rare but so beautiful and powerful. You are so wonderfully talented and just ahhh. Please don't stop making music

[@katefan7496]

I feel so much pain from this song's melody. Just a few seconds in and i already in tears.

[@LordChick]

I bought this album yesterday and I swear I've listened to the whole album 100 times

[@yamamani1484]

I have literally been waiting by my computer all day to see this video pop up on my feed

[@BenjaminPfohl]

Thank you for sharing your soul with us Justin

[@kevinlim2049]

You are such an amazing artist and you lyrics has the best meaning behind it. Love your work.

[@saiviontrigg3080]

Have yall actually tried to like be in between sleep and being awake with this song on. I literally felt like I was on the ocean alone floating. Crywolf is the goat😎

[@litagalindo1794]

I'm not going to lie when this song hits home. I'm very much back and forth in a toxic relationship and this song is exactly what it feels like.The longing and then the opening up again. The man I'm in love with suffers from clinical depression and his low self esteem is a bad mixture. He's been going to therapy an is on meds and seeing Doctors for it and he constantly feels like he's not making progress. I try so hard to be there and be supportive but he constantly pushes me away and then the longing and the missing gets the better of us.

[@tragiciann0853]

i used to listen to crywolf alot a while ago.. he always made me feel better and made me feel like i mattered. now, i’m back and i love how much he has changed. thank you crywolf 💕

[@johnnieslaughter953]

[@jezielvinicius7532]

Can't stop listening 😍❤️

[@grimyceilingtile]

This is absolutely breath taking. Thank you for this.

[@AmandeepSingh-xk4yv]

Why does your music feel supernatural, man?I always close my eyes whenever I'm listening to any one of your compositions, and it's not because I want to enjoy it better; but because it doesn't relate to any damn thing in this pathetic world. It makes me think of an existence that once was, or rather could have been; but ceased to exist due to it's purity. Please never stop making music. I thank you for making my life less pathetic. :))

[@jamieanastacia]

every day is a dreamy day of daydreaming when you're listening to crywolf :3

[@ryu_no_me257]

Another one creating goose bumps all over my body Nice one as always

[@sarah57920]

I'm so in love with this

[@ranzo8135]

Since this was uploaded... I feel like the music starts in a sunny forest full of birds and deers. Then out of a sudden, the music changes and with it my imagination also changes into a dark forest. I just noticed the picture yesterday and saw that I think he really wanted the song to sound like this

[@MrDasTeil]

this whole EP is an absolute masterpiece!

[@remiabrahams8623]

Been working on a graphic novel and this music has been inspiring the artwork so much. The emotional strength behind the sound and lyrics are amazing :)
