Gives me chills every time~

[@mik1of3]

I had the privilege of knowing the Stockers. The youngest, Madeline, was a friend of my daughters, and Makenzie, a friend my nieces at the Stocker kid's school..Lutheran South Academy. Kenzie was a treasure, and her passing was a tragedy that touched so many that her funeral attendees overflowed our church...and it is a large church. The pain in this song brings her death back home all these years later...and I can hear Nathan's pain still. It's a beautiful song. There's big things coming for Hippo Campus.

[@minorcek]

The band explain: "'Monsoon' deals with the death of a family member and the surprising lack of devastating grief. There was joy in the life that had been lived, instead of regret for what could’ve been. The monsoon itself became a metaphor for not experiencing that familiar and widely expressed "it should've been me” feeling, and trying to tackle that conflicting guilt. The guilt of not feeling guilty. Re-creating that world to exist in this song was a therapeutic and rewarding process."

[@catiecooper9734]

In case anyone didn't know, this is about nathan's sister. she died in a car accident when she was just 18.

[@adriianbacha]

Damn...

[@nippleripple1287]

Oh wow, now the line "It shouldve been me" makes a lot of sense now

[@brentwichman2840]

the cousin i was named after died when he was 18 in a car crash, i can relate to this ;(

[@absIock]

Damn that’s sad

[@lhana2001]

I listened to this with headphones late at night with the lights off and i dont think ive ever had more of an emotional reaction to a song in my life. I physically felt the part where the beat picks up just before 'chin held shut' in my heart. This song didnt just give me goosebumps or tingles, i was literally shaking and silent tears were pouring out my eyes. Thank you so much for this absolute blessing

[@helixxia9320]

i dont often cry from music but this one really hit me. exact same moment you mention, it just grabs my heart and twists it, and i cant help but have tears suddenly just streaming

[@vitorribeiro2647]

This is so good. Calm yet haunting and beautiful at the same time.

[@vitorribeiro2647]

I'm going to listen to this on rainy days with some coffee and cookies.

[@Hannyakumaa]

Vitor Ribeiro NNNNOOOIIICCEE

[@Hannyakumaa]

Vitor Ribeiro watch a sunsut would be cool too

[@vitorrr43890]

Simmm é muito perfeita

[@iansmith1561]

This is real music, the music that has the ability to draw emotion out of the listener, not just keep them entertained.

[@himbo_advocate]

i revisit this every now and again yet still feel like crying each time i do so.

[@blaise4981]

The precipitation of heart and head that I get when I listen to this song washes away the bad things in life and all that is left is the beauty of life itself.

[@sydneyshields9826]

Blaise so true

[@seeaaaannnnnnnn]

boy do I wanna hug nathan after this

[@seeaaaannnnnnnn]

you've been redeemed after simple seasons

[@jackflemons5197]

did he write this one?:)

[@SRNCrafting]

sean didn't seen anything about him writing it..

[@seeaaaannnnnnnn]

nevermind

[@seeaaaannnnnnnn]

either way he's in the video

[@Bibbitybridge]

I'm speechless. This is so beautiful, both the song and visual. Proud of you guys

[@slars22]

reminds me of when my dad died, it was sudden and tragic. he didn't even get to see me graduate from middle school. this song makes me cry every time about how it captures exactly how i felt

[@samuelestrada7810]

I cannot wait for an album. I first heard South ~6 months ago and I fell in love with it immediately. I could easily see the progression this band has taken and I love it.

[@beastinitup24711]

I want to have the opportunity to talk to them one day after a show, because their music is something I have never experienced. Their music goes beyond my ears, it isn't a quick pleasurable top 40 song, it fucking reaches my soul and it stays there. When I hear them live, I am completely lost in them. The fact that they are able to reach me in that way is absolutely magical.

[@deadsetondreams1988]

They are amazing as human beings, I had the pleasure of getting VIP and even though I was so darn nervous to talk to them what little was said will be treasured forever. I ran into Jake before the show on his way into the venue and they are all amazing, kind, and fun loving as they seem in videos on here. Literally the best concert I've ever attended easily and I've been to a bunch. I brought a giant group of friends with me who had all NEVER heard of them before and they all LOVED IT so much that they wanted to travel to see them perform in different locations. This band has my heart

[@mitzidelgado3344]

definitely, hippo campus is now one of my favourite bands

[@alyson8747]

Why aren't they famous yet? I honestly don't understand. Their music is so original and beautiful.

[@sarahm2179]

we need more music like this that just give you so much feeling and it hits you in your heart and you have so many feelings for such beautiful lyrics

[@noeliarodriguez2759]

This is absolutely one of my favorite Hippo Campus songs, so... heart-fuller

[@BenRealVsWorld]

this band is vury 10/10

[@hopen.2487]

I feel like my ears have been blessed. this is spectacular!!

[@randomalt1273]

Hope N. same

[@hesitantalien4859]

their album is amazing its impossible not to love every single song

[@annamontgomery4841]

"It should've been me" WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME? this is so beautiful

[@barofsoapy]

I cry every time I hear this song I just wanna hug Nathan every time this song plays

[@FabulousKilljoy]

I rarely come across anything that hits me this hard. This is so beautifully sad.

[@emmalouise9950]

These lyrics speak to me on levels I didn't know I had

[@IsabellaMiremadi]

Beautiful lyrics.

[@Nino244]

i have been listening to this song on repeat for 2 days straight its so beautiful

[@artistinahammock3885]

I listened to it once and was like cool vid, cool song, then I scrolled through the comments and learnt the meaning. I put on my headphones and listened to it again and teared up Just,,, damn

[@abbycap302]

im sobbing why is this so beautiful like what the hell boys

[@shannonkourajian8118]

Love you Nathan 💕💕💕💕

[@yeeyeeyeeyee4876]

i love these guys and i dont get why they are not huge theyre the definition of indie

[@nyoomi5659]

I just discovered you guys today, and with the first song I heard, I instantly fell in love. Everything that you've all created so far is so appealing and beautiful, and I hope that many can also hear this love too.

[@handsnanitizer]

one of the first times i heard this was when i was walking around school a few days after my cat went missing. i was basically failing every class, i had basically no friends, and i was on my way to fail a math test. i had my recommended music playing on amazon music as I was walking and this song came on. when it got to 1:00, i almost immediately burst into tears in the hallway! i turned around and ran to the school psychiatrist (she didn't really help lol). this song does an incredible job of capturing the emotion and buildup of sadness and grief and depression. and good memories mixed in with it

[@emmalouise9950]

I think your new album is going to be fire

[@thegavgamez]

Emma Bates It is :)

[@kanchanrana5330]

Vacation, Buttercup and this one is of my favorite! Way you go Hippocampus 🙏

[@Jo52701]

oh my heart ♥ so blessed

[@blackfrost9074]

Just found this song... omgosh can't get enough. Love the guitar towards the end

[@ian-go9kc]

this is breathtaking

[@annaivanova7908]

I have no words for how touching this one is, tears came flooding!

[@theklevens]

just beautiful. full of emotion and gorgeous song

[@Jorcatsucs]

Honestly just keep doing what ur doing guys. Amazing!

[@iDexys]

Really needed this. :)

[@maeri6040]

I sat on an important staircase outside of an important place to me on this summer day, with a summer storm thundering around me. I cried. Yesterday, I saw them live. They will never know all of the lonely days and difficulties that their music has gotten me through. The fact that this music helps me to make sense of my own pain is the mark to true art to me. I love them so much. Also, does anyone happen to know what that little distorted voice recording throughout the song is?

[@lia1740]

OMFG This is so beautiful that I wanna cry rn!! Hippocampus slaying asf!

[@Hannyakumaa]

Queen Of The Underworld yes!

[@thecloverit]

they're great but slayer is a little more kid friendly

[@Hannyakumaa]

Cloverit true, but you don't really need to hear the lyrics seriously, but true

[@thecloverit]

ohboy

[@Hannyakumaa]

Cloverit lol

[@meghanweber1941]

So happy we saw them in Pittsburgh recently. There was a festival going on that we didn't expect. What a magical surprise, now I am obsessed.

[@Morganlikescats]

This is truly real music! It’s so real and comes from the heart... I love this!!!

[@livsouza4357]

a truly beautiful, sad song

[@johnamiico]

I'm really excited for them to get big but I also want them to stay small so that I can keep them as sort of a secret 😂 anyone else feel me?

[@christiango604]

i feel you.

[@callumheard5918]

John Amico I feel exactly the same way

[@Lostracco15]

this was my exact feeling with twenty one pilots.... now everyone is asking me if i know the song Stressed Out and i want to kill myself

[@annamontgomery4841]

Lostracco15 I feel exactly the same with twenty one pilots and hippocampus. I love them, and want to keep them to myself. But also I know they will grow

[@yeet7935]

Lostracco15 omg same

[@Kjduma]

Way too excited for this album. I've used some of their songs in a few of my videos. Absolute favorites.

[@tomslade98]

This so authentically sorrowful. It reminds me so much of my two little brothers.

[@lovehatemagicmaj]

Why are their videos so awesome? I hope I can work on stuff like this in my career.

[@gunslinger4863]

I found this song in 2017, and ever since I've been trying to remember to listen to this song on the 3rd of June. Its now 2023, June 3rd, 6:49 am, I made it. Such a beautiful song

[@ShiftyWolf117]

The people I let down haunt my dreams. I hear their words in my mind all the time. I think about them all the time. It should've been me....
