Dear (Live at Hoxton Hall)

[@hannaheve33]

Robbie’s voice is like a warm hug after a rough day :’)

[@bakednuggets8745]

I've had da touph day and his voice makes it all better all the time.

[@adrianaraque6597]

Ye, I know right

[@viagahi4058]

From the all the “Live at Hoxton Hall” videos, this is the one where (i think) I feel the most pain. I hear it. I feel it. I can picture it. I literally have been replaying this video many times. It feels so raw. I love the pauses, the slowness; it’s gradual yet there is great intensity, a controlled intensity. It’s a beautiful pain. But not the romanticized kind. It’s like (for every time I replay the vid) it’s a song I haven’t heard. It seems like a new song yet so familiar and an old song, nostalgic, and reminiscent. It’s relatable and the case may be that what robbie was referring to and what i and you guys feels when listening to this are different but yet we know that we’re not alone and that we’re suffering together and that’s the best assurance and first step to healing. It’s so bittersweet. It’s a truth about many things, not only about love. It’s just so beautiful. Ughh i fucking love this song, this performance, and robbieeee

the cavetown community is the most wholesome community out there. prove me wrong.

[@citrusgem]

U too!

[@samuelwithers2221]

Robbie, how much wholesome do you want in this community? Robbie: *yes*

[@irljellywyrm]

That was a really wholesome interaction I'm gonna go cry ;-;

[@lazuriidkwhattoputhere8719]

The Lofi community reading this: 👁👄👁 but yeah, you're right its one of the most wholesome communities out there :)

[@theomnipotentcreator1109]

I know a few a lill more wholesome but this up there. Like way up there

[@jansabana]

Cant believe a live version can be this clean

[@calradz]

dear really hits different live

[@alliefiscus9222]

My other aesthetic other than being a helpless pile of waste as I cry at two am to Robbins music. "Maybe they won't cry" my fricking ass. He's beautiful.

Lyrics :) . [Chorus 1] Everyone's got a thing, a thing they don't like A thing that makes them stand in front of the sink With tears in their eyes Everyone's got a thing, maybe they won't cry Maybe they can't even bear to utter the words The doctor prescribed I won't even lie, I'm screaming inside all the time It seems like a breeze, it feels like a dream But I don't wanna die [Verse] She can't stop hurting herself and He won't look in your eyes Friend, I knew every time you were lying And he got himself messed up with the wrong guys [Chorus 2] Everyone's got a thing, a thing they don't like A thing that makes them double-think when They're standing at the railway crossing lights Gotta stop forgetting the fact It's not just me in this goddamn world My brain is a child, I will love him for that But don't lose sight of your baby girl [Outro] I don't wanna wake up sometimes And I don't wanna sing And I don't care what happens tonight As long as I feel something I don't wanna wake up sometimes And I don't wanna sing And I don't care what happens tonight As long as I feel something

Posted 45 seconds ago, wow, I'm early. Unrelated, but this song makes me cry. Pretty sure 99.9% of your songs make everyone cry (including me) Robbie, and that's a good thing. Thanks man, for making me feel emotions and pain I've been hiding for awhile.

[@kennasweet3797]

Facts. I just started learning Talk to Me and I can't manage to sing/play it straight without crying while doing so. Robbie's words touch more than he can count, and that's a beautiful thing.

[@tabcat8288]

@@kennasweet3797 I've been trying to learn his songs on my guitar for a while, but what stops me is my lack of confidence and ability to sing and do barre chords, lol. Even when I do manage to get them right, like you, I start crying.

[@lindon5949]

i love this song so, so much. it holds a deep meaning in my heart, especially after the concert i went to in june, where i met some of the best friends i'd have ever have. throughout this song we were all crying and hugging, just the entire group. even before then, this song has always meant so much to me. i cry every time i hear it. hearing it live, in person, was the best thing i've ever experienced. this song practically saved my life, more than once. thank you, robbie. i love you. i miss meeting you

[@samuelwithers2221]

This is one of his most underrated songs and that's a shame because personally, I think it's absolutely beautiful and hits really hard

[@orion_in_the_stars]

I listen to this song after panic attacks. I don't know whether it is the lyrics, Robbie's voice, or the bass, but it calms me down.

"1 minute ago" I have never clicked so fast.

[@RoseAc3]

This all came so suddenly, but now the Instagram story makes sense. Also these are the videos that nobody had asked for, but the videos we needed.

So far, no one has accidentally pressed the dislike button

[@R0VGEE]

Yea hopefully nobody crys too much to the point where they click the wrong button

Yeah, for once it's uploaded at a time that's not 4am for my poor Australian tried eyes where I don't accidentally dislike it.
