Hobo Johnson - Sorry, My Dear (Official Audio)

Yea this shit is weird

[@nina-xd7ol]

yodadcaleb yt that’s the point. the more auto tuned parts are representing the little glimmers off hope that people with depression feel. the more clean and easier to hear parts are the voices in your head that tell you to kill your self. he’s making art. this is art

[@DameonTheSergal]

The use of auto tune here is absolutely magical, have the moments of long screams coming across as a beautiful melody push the point of suicide feeling like the answer, while also delivering the strongest and darkest lyrics of the song that way show how sometimes those with anxiety and depression think they have everything under control, the brief moments of beautiful harmony and low dark chaos that we become numb to. While the major crescendo of the song show both the chaos of the mind and the drive of a person to keep living “have you heard the story of the man who decided not to die.” Is almost always followed by the crescendo with the exception of the beginning where one could say the manic episode is just starting.

[@DameonTheSergal]

Hell this goes deeper, the darkest lyrics are the clearest while the lyrics of drive and hope are the most garbled to show that they “hear” but maybe can’t believe it.

No one captures the sad raw emotions we all have but no one wants to talk about like you do😭❤️

[@Autismspokesperson]

I bought this album on vinyl yesterday and heard this song for the first time. It's one of two songs that have been so beautifully sad and relatable that I've cried from hearing. The other was Because by The Beatles.

[@ellieneko5961]

Hobo Johnson. Your album is literally called the fall of yourself. I know we will never meet. But your song has represented my entire existence and I can empathize. I will always connect with you and other souls like you and you’re not alone. Never have been never will be. Much love you beautiful soul

[@katelynbingaman5637]

The grit and rawness of this song really hits different

[@aadarshkhimasia]

i don't know how to describe this. it's the realest thing i've heard, possibly ever.

[@kalgrandy2101]

This song saved my life. I used to scream it in my car in high school just to get out of my own head and to stop being so depressed. It was something to actually scream to saying I’m tired of being sad. I remember listening to it when I drove home after attempting suicide. “Part of being alive is wishing that you weren’t sometimes.” That line echoed in my mind. I got a second chance at life that day. Here’s to hoping I feel better in the next 10 years.

[@justcassi9]

Really one of the best songs ever. Makes you feel.

[@Jonboy207]

This is a beautiful and real song. It's art. Frank... Hobo Johnson deserves all the success in the world.

[@itchidara]

I was instantly drawn into this song. And for the life of me I could figure out why. As the song kept repeating itself...I realized I’m so captivated by this song because my own darkness and thoughts resonates with this song. I think everyone has that raw, vulnerable darkness inside. Now whether or not they acknowledge it is a different story. That’s what art is for.

[@SuperBakaTaka]

This speaks to me deeply and specifically. Just what I needed to hear at 1am as I can't sleep.

[@idkwywfm]

From someone who has had suicidal depression since their first memories as a toddler to find out im not here for myself but that I'm here for others, I'm not as suicidally depressed as I used to be, those thoughts are more non chalant now, I jus want you to know that I believe with my soul you are here for others more than yourself, it's basic math frank, you interact with so many lives throughout your life its impossible for it not to be our purpose, to just be kind people. Love you brosofski.

[@skyumi6154]

Mr. Lopes, as much as this song is helping your hurting and emotionally tattered listeners (I myself being one), it can't be expressed how much our hearts go out to you when hearing you scream out in your own pain. It feels like you know us because of how well you have come to except and embrace your own thoughts and feelings. You don't have to write about what we want or what we think. You just tell us who you are, and that we aren't alone. And that beacon of emotional understanding feels like the life raft in my stormy oceans when I hear this song. It's grounds me in knowing everyone hurts, that's the point, and moving forward from that place is the only thing you can do besides dying.

[@rheabenner3468]

i’ve heard this probably a million times and have cried a million and one to it

[@5.3pachyderm15]

Oh my god... I've been waiting on this since I saw you live in Birmingham early in your first album cycle. You mentioned that it was a song off of the upcoming album and played it. And it was one of the best songs of the whole concert. It's been stuck in my head ever since. I'm so happy right now

[@tw2thr3tw2]

[@thisjustseemsorchestrated3033]

If you're listening to this on your phone speaker, plug in your headphones. Good headphones are an essential life item. My compliments on the production.

[@user-ik3se5kb5k]

Trigger Warning: Mentions of Depression I went to the mental hospital 2 weeks ago for suicidal thoughts. I voluntarily went because I knew I needed help. During music therapy they asked me my favorite lyric so I said, “have you heard about the guy who decided not to die.” I checked into the mental hospital because I figured that living was easier. I went to the hospital 2 times in December just 2 weeks apart. I played this whole album on the way and played this song specifically two times because I could relate to it. Don’t give up, things get better. There will be hard patches in life and that’s normal, but you can get through it. I believe in you and other people do too.

[@goofypandaperson7]

This mans music has changed my life. I feel so much less alone. I hope I get to see him live. My favorites are back yard sessions but being in a crowd that relates to this music would be incredible. Love to you all. Life is painful and beautiful.

[@gabriely2448]

Hey, just wanted to say thank you for your music. I listened to February 15th, Happiness, and Sorry My Dear and it really helped with my current depression. I'm not making this up, but, anyhow, my girlfriend broke up with me a few weeks ago, and my dog died the day after. I'm American and Japanese, and I want to go back to my family in Japan, but I cannot currently, because I am in Vienna studying, and also there are regulations for travel (due to the Corona pandemic), so I cannot travel home and/or come back. Your music just really speaks to me, and I can feel the heart and emotion that went into the lyrics and especially the singing. Been listening to the NPR live session you guys had, and the first 30 seconds always give me a smile. For real I am not making this shit up, and I highly doubt anyone will read this, but just wanted to say thank you.

[@Mentalhealthadvocate]

I’ve felt very little in the past 7 years. So I relate to the line where he says if it doesn’t get better in ten years than sorry my dear. It makes me realize I’m not the only one going through almost a decade of numbness and emptiness and suffering.

[@chagus6975]
