[@dragonflame024]

I like how at the end they all start yelling together

[@lilymontgomery199]

same

[@clintdona4586]

it kinda reminds me of The Oh Hellos, I love it lol

[@plkachuzzz]

i'm a year late but it really adds to the theme of the song

[@quinnuntold1755]

I interpreted The last lyrics 'The farmer stands and say "what happened to the land? It used to be fertile, it used to be good. When I was a lad." As someone looking back on their old self and reminiscing about a better time.

[@birdbeak36]

I would always sing this to my cat... i sang her this while she was put down...

[@alastor_radio]

oh no

[@KM-pd8vq]

Aw I’m so sorry- :(

[@SkiggsMoDiggs]

well that esculated quickly

[@HarvestPeiskos2209]

6:10 she says "I love you guys!!"

[@banbannedxd]

My two cats are named goose and wren and this then got recommended to me, the world works in mysterious ways.

[@stormofdogz]

those r adorable cat names!

[@smugscribbles6667]

I... where do I begin? My very close friend Cody showed this to me about a year ago, he's been out of my life for a long while now and Im so afraid I'll never know why. This song holds close every memory of him I'll ever have. I can't listen to it without bawling my eyes out. The lyricism reminds me so, so terribly much of him. Mister Bucket, if you're reading this sappy garbage, I really wish the best for you. I do. I mean that. Thank you for the memories.

[@beckel3593]

Call him

[@SirPunkie]

It sounds like they had a lot of fun recording this (like close to the end when they all join in) and I like that, it made me smile :)

[@ranae8609]

shoutout to whoever screamed “I love you guys!” at 6:14

[@AerisRising]

This is one of my favorite songs, and honestly helps me calm down from anxiety attacks. It’s weird to think that yelling can help- but its distracting and easy to focus on

[@clintdona4586]

mood, I listen to stuff like this when I’m very stressed or angry for whatever reason and it helps me vent it out somehow lol

[@nefelibataa_lillies986]

Anyone know any other songs that have the same old adventuring vibe as this one? They really help create inspiration for some stories I’m working on

[@alastor_radio]

Dude mountain by cavetown Or nostalgia in my bedroom by cavetown

[@Goat.parade]

For Sebastian From A Friend by Hop Along is a good one!

[@JabiAll]

Search anything from the oh hellos

[@fallingupstairs996]

I reccomend Bruno is Orange if you liked this song. Im a comic creator/animator and this band is one of my favorites. another really cool band is AJR . hope you try those out

[@fallingupstairs996]

I forgot, Dear Wormwood is an amazing song..

[@icarusisfalling9418]

I really liked the ending but where they all yell out the song together, having a good time

[@rowanheart8122]

I don't know why, but today this song is making me cry. I just imagine all the characters in the song are birds, like the old man with the book is an owl, the boy with the kite is a chicken, and maybe the narrator is a guinea fowl or some other kind of goose

[@rowanheart8122]

On second thought, I feel like the narrator is a rabbit, and the kid is some kind of snake. Because he wants to fly, but snakes rather notably, don't have wings

[@fallingupstairs996]

Everybody who likes this video has a good taste in music what, its true? (why did you scroll?)

I don't care what some people say I love this song

[@mariahpadgett770]

I like the background you used, it fits the song :)

[@clintdona4586]

I love songs like this for some reason, where it has a folk tone to it and it isn’t exactly ordered and everyone starts yelling. Songs like that make me so happy for some reason. I love the part where she yells “I love you guys!” :D

[@so1arsystem866]

I can't describe exactly why, but I really love this song. It just has that kind of authentic sound to it, and as another commenter said, it just seems like the artists had fun making this!

[@notagoat691]

This name of the song really makes sense hop along means you can sing in any time have a good voice or bad voice you can hop along any time I don't really understand why other people hate the yelling in the end but that's the purpose of the song you can hop along any time you want this song is really good and always a legend Please for the future generations... don't let this song fade away and be forgotten

[@clawcakes]

this song sounds like the final cutscene before the credits roll, with the protagonist singing and playing guitar with their friends on a field as the sun sets in front of them (when everyone starts singing together, the credits start rolling)

[@_finalboy_]

The end where they all yell and laigh makes me think of friends around a campfire

[@wtrfrt]

This cleared a lot of things up for me lmao

[@mariahpadgett770]

honestly lol

[@_fizzyoctopop]

This song makes me so emotional bc I'm a traveler in a sense and I miss my friends, especially since one of the lyrics is "write back to me, wren" And I miss the places I've been to but I can't go back except for home

[@rhymeswith9032]

It sounds like someone drunkenly singing a mourning song with the friends they still have left

[@mataschmata]

the ending legit made me cry. i yearn for that kind of feeling

[@juno9058]

I've rewatched this for like the 900th time now

[@MaggotfilledFlesh]

The best way I could interpret what the song is about is by assumptions. I think this song talks about toxic masculinity and back then how young men where forced into war. I feel like the last bit with the farmer also touched on pollution or someone looking back at the past for a longing for the past to come back. I love this song a lot but it's tough to figure out the main topic, themes and meanings.

[@vinrulz]

2:46 ignore this :)

[@heckyheckle]

To be honest, this song kinda calms me down, so i think some good art could come from this

[@Atlasworld2005]

Theory: the whole song is a letter to the singer's Father, the Wren, who is overseas, and in the war, hence the reference "Write back to me, Wren", and " here lie 100 men, fighters every one of them, they went into battle, oh no, they won't be home tonight". I think the whole song talks about how the singers Dad is going to war and is assuring the singer that he will be back. "I'll certainly be sure to stay above the ground" and about how he's going to miss the author of this song, and will be thinking of her while he fights.

Hi just saw this! How about musical chairs by lemon demon?

[@stormofdogz]

sure! ill do that next

Lemon Demon yay

[@rowanheart8122]

I like this song because you don't have to be good at singing to sing along. The vocals are loud, and scratchy, but it just adds to to the songs charm. You could honestly get the impression that a goose is singing it

[@thecattking]

Absolutely love this song.

[@juno9058]

This is a good song, I like it. Thank you very much 🙌🏼

[@Lokis_Tea]

Awww at the end when everyone came together that was amazing *and thank you friend for sending this*

[@kyankyan3177]

for some cause, every time I listen to these kinds of songs, I start to feel sad

[@komisapire1365]

I always find these songs oddly calming, dunno why I just do

[@GraveyardShiba]

Much thank for making the lyrics. Perfect for future animatic ÙwÚ

Just another great 3AM find

I absolutely love this song! Does anyone know where to find the guitar chords for it? I couldn't find them anywhere :')

Yee! There's a page on Ultimate Guitar tabs. :) It's basically F, Bb, and C power chords repeating

[@beckel3593]

4:00 3:42 - 5:03

[@rowanheart8122]

Ive come up with a new theory about this song. It's told from the perspective of a God wandering the land in the guise of a mortal(form of an ant). Goose and Wren dont write back because the God doesn't realize how much time really has passed.

[@honeycomb690]

My brain decided this song follows the story of a woman who had to flee her home because of a war while pregnant, raising her children alone. One of her kids runs away and gets caught up in a life of drugs and crime, the other trying to live a simple life but quickly falls down the same path as their sibling. The story ends w/ the twins getting arrested and their mother, not having seen either one in years, bails them out. Edit: The one who ran first is trans (ftm), and the woman's husband went to fight in the war before she had to flee.
