I had to take a break from the internet.

hello! I am back! had to get off of the Internet for a while to reset my brain and focus on my mental health & writing the best music I possibly can. thanks for being patient with me! I promise it will be worth it :) thanks for watching.

[@SiFireHasSpeed]

Don’t worry dude. Your health and safety are absolutely paramount as they should be. Just glad you’re ok!!

[@HouseOfSWARM]

thank you for understanding!

[@chazzychanz]

Swarm from the internet, I really excited for whatever coming! Happy to see you active again~ Take all the time you need, mate~

[@HouseOfSWARM]

thank you very much!

[@AliguraAethernum]

I appreciate Swarm getting his priorities right. It's good to have you back, although I don't mind you taking a longer break if you feel it's right. In any case, really looking forward to more of your work! If you release a new song next year instead of next week I would hardly complain. What you do is absolutely worth the wait!

[@HouseOfSWARM]

cannot thank you enough!

[@Liperuskaczus]

I hope you're good, mental health is important!

[@HouseOfSWARM]

feeling much better now :)

[@zerfangvoidbane2358]

Good to hear that you prioritized your health over an algorithm my dude, its often difficult to realize how much damage the internet in general can cause to someone mentally before its too late and all drive is gone. I have been off social media for years now, and while my mental health is still not the best, it has been one of the best things to happen. Hell, I don't even comment on anything really, this is probably my... 3rd comment in a decade of youtube use? A plus side, your music keeps me going during the work day when in game music just turns into a migraine activator (I work in QA for a AAA game studio). Your tunes have a vibe that directly correlates with the 'Aw yis' sectors of my brain, and I have taken every opportunity to share your music within my friend groups and coworkers, many of which share the same opinions about your work. Hope you are doing better and continue to improve on your health, and looking forward to see what you come out with I know its gonna be dope!

[@HouseOfSWARM]

the fact that this is one of the few comments you have made makes it even more special. thank you :) what dev/ game do you work with? I am always looking for new games to play!!

[@zerfangvoidbane2358]

Not a problem, its more than deserved! You are one of my absolute favorite artists :) I work with ZeniMax Media Inc and have worked on Fallout 76 and Starfield, currently on other stuff and things but those 2 I am in the credits for. And for the time I have spent working on them, your music has been ever present lol

[@verybadastronom879]

Everybody needs to take a break sometimes. Take your time. Your mental health is a priority number one! Looking forward to your next songs.

[@HouseOfSWARM]

this means alot :) thank you so much

[@Crusader2132]

Real Life always comes first. Always prioritize your own health. Love your music, can't wait to hear more of it. We'll be here supporting you.

[@HPTFan]

I do miss you, man. It’s okay you took a break. I hope you’ll feel better. Thank you for being honest, vulnerable, and transparent. Take great care of yourself, and those you love. 🐦‍⬛

[@HouseOfSWARM]

thank you so much :)

[@danielkrommenhoek7120]

Prioritizing your mental health can only help with your music production and productivity. Don't ever let yourself get burnt out to the point that your passion starts to feel like the kind of work you would rather not be doing. Thanks for the message. Lotta people probably needed to hear this.

[@tcevismetalstep9049]

I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK!!! SWARM🖤

[@HouseOfSWARM]

I am soooo back!!

[@Luvrnetic]

I feel the same pressure and I'm barely even a local DJ! I'm so glad you're taking the space and time you needed.

[@codystoltz9764]

Never feel bad about prioritizing your health. Nothing worse than burning out. Much harder to scrape your way from the bottom than just treating your mind and body right in order to stay on top. I just found you a couple weeks ago and I'm truly impressed with your work. Looking forward to hearing what you're putting out this year. 100% here for the long run :)

[@Kinda_cold_here]

Take the Time you need ^^ Like you saw (and maybe remember from Instagramm) Your Music is Iconic to me and im willing to wait and Support you on your way even if its means i gotta wait. But your Human and im Human too so no Stress and apreciate everything you got. And Dean seems pretty cute ^^ So yeah take your time glad your okay and keep going in your Pace 🩵

[@talmaru3023]

The line "I am a human and humans need breaks" sounds like a great refrain for your next track :P

[@quiddy9959]

cant wait for more songs thanks for the update vid

[@HouseOfSWARM]

thanks for watching!

[@DjSpinMaster]

I consider myself lucky to see ANY content from you. You could drop down to posting once a year and I'd still be here for it. Keep on keeping on, life's a garden... blah blah blah. But seriously never stop taking care of yourself!!! Ps: aside from your music, your "content" has helped me feel happy during times that I didn't think feeling happy was an option. And for that I thank you!

[@Draconis_Eltanin]

Glad to hear you were taking care of yourself and that now you are doing better enough to be back :D Looking forward to the new songs!

[@FuturPlanet]

Your music keeps being good, while you are not here :) Kept listing to it all the time. Take as many brakes as you can afford.

[@biankamachina3285]

Man. No one's music left a bigger mark on me than yours. In my world full of stress and overcoming myself, you created exactly the type of music I've been waiting for since childhood. Something dark, futuristic, orchestral and motivating at the same time. There isn't a day when I don't play Consumed or I'll never see the world. Your music shaped me into the personality I always dreamed of. Thank you for continuing to create and for being back. Take care of yourself, because I don't want to be without your music for a single day.

[@caZanovaofficial]

Love ya brotha, glad to hear that you're doing well enough to come back! You've been missed

[@HouseOfSWARM]

I miss u!!!

[@caZanovaofficial]

@@HouseOfSWARM Hopefully when you're in Tampa next we can come see you!

[@AlonePirate02]

No problem dude take all the time you need. We'll always be there when you get back!

[@StyleshStorm]

This is me now on all social media because the anxiety, pressure and conflict with others is gettin' a bit... Spiritually taxing. And I'm a nobody compared to SWARM. So thank you for showing even the coolest out there are still human.

[@cuuurlyfries5246]

Glad to see you’re still breathing my man. Take all the time you need dude.

[@SuperDestuction]

I'm glad your break has been refreshing! Make sure to go at a pace you're comfortable with! Time without a new upload is just time we get to go back and replay our favorite tracks, anyway!

[@tenebrax_music]

Friend, I probably understand you now more than anyone else, because I'm in a similar state myself. So do not worry, you are doing everything right, your health is a priority, because it is the only resource that can not be bought for any money, which must be protected, so do as you see fit, and we will wait as long as necessary. Live and prosper brother!

[@whdtt]

Dude, I feel you. Take your time, go slow and steady. We love ya!

[@pinnaclemainehunters5414]

I just stumbled across your music today while choring around the house. First one I heard was dope, added to library..second one that later played..(that’s it, playing the entire artist. Been going all day) also sat down to peep yt and I love it. It’s refreshing to have amazing quality music balanced with a humorous guy that seems to just have fun with what he’s doing. Anyway that was a long winded way to kiss your ass..😅 so hard for me to find the music that hits me. Well you sure hit me hard. And I liked it. Keep the head clear man. I struggle with demons on the daily. Music(like this) has been a major outlet. ❤

[@gabrielsellesty7868]

take your time !... keeep going and take a care! we will wait for your comeack. YOur music is a huge inspiration for me through drawing and my own eras. Wishing you the best!

[@code_pandorum]

Love it.

[@crimsonmoon9404]

you're not just a machine.. you're THE machine, even machines like you require maintenance , your music always gives me chills, stay strong!

[@SuperSherby]

Swarm! Thank goodness you were smart and took care of yourself in the first place! I have admired you for your music and mind you, of course your presence is missed when you are away, but I admire you so much more now to see the strength you have and deciding your health comes first! By the way, your video is as usual funny and also sincere. When I hear your music, I feel related, when I saw this video, I feel connected. Me as well as everyone who feels this same way will be here for always. Your music is awesome, your personality even more! We look forward to have you around again, and of course to hear the great music that you make. It's sad how artists like yourself are pressured like that, of course seeing new content of you is amazing, but true fans would naver want their idol to suffer from it. Take care! You are awesome, always!

[@user-et6vw4pf4f]

Ur music is awesome dude! Do as you see fit, we will support you!

[@syncringe1885]

I can't believe I didn't see this. I love ya man. Take all the time ya need. While you constantly bring a smile to my face I get ya need breaks as we all do. Also poor cat. Locked out for aiming to misbehave..

[@fireflyfox93]

I love the let shenanigans in this video lol but seriously, do what you need to. It's totally fine 👍🏻 I look forward to new music but I never expect anything, just happy to listen to whatever you release, whenever you release it.

[@ACBeatyPoetry92]

Welcome back! Glad you're okay. Your mental health is more important than anything. ❤

[@cephquepheas]

Glad to hear you're well! Consider me buckled and strapped in, ready for your next banger to drop! ❤ 🖤🔥

[@nova1134]

I’d say this for any KZbinr. You aren’t obligated to post anything, your videos are a gift, not a demand.

[@DjSpinMaster]

That's a perfect way to describe his content

[@HouseOfSWARM]

that makes me really happy! thank you

[@mama_b_7525]

Dude, YOUR mental health is a top priority, social media is not worth your sanity! I hope you are on your path to better mental health. Big love from the UK ❤

[@zebra486]

Glad to hear you're doing ok🖤 the internet will keep chugging on so it's ok to step away from it. Wish more people would recognize & stop normalizing how demanding it is to be "relevant" by algorithm standards. Whenever you post i will be seeing&resharing regardless, there is no time table. Excited for swarm's 2024🔥🔥

[@RadicalDreamerAMV]

That was totally right decision to take a break mate. I once couldnt, and now i regret it, because that leaded to completely burning out. Cant wait to hear new stuff from you!

[@FyrestarCom]

Don't stress yourself, having your focus on what you love and have the passion for without being stressed is most important, just as taking some breaks so work doesn't overload your mind, breaks clear your mind so you can see things from new perspectives. Looking forward for your new songs!

[@Ruganon]

I know making these kind videos is not easy. Keep taking care of yourself! We support you and would wait longer for anything, if it means that you are happy!

[@adamkerr1980]

It's all good dude, you take all the time you need, doesn't stop me blasting your songs out knowing that you have to take some time for yourself, self care is vital, we will wait patiently 🤟 keep being awesome dude 🤟

[@stellarvalency]

Omg I was like I know this face, happy to see you. Honestly meditation is my sweet medicine this year, sending over high vibrations for some badass creativity. From one Taurus to the next (I remember when you announced your bday on YT) Enjoy this magical February month, it is super special.

[@mention5664]

The Legend in its sphere must be pretty much strong to take a break to continue growth. You'll always be in my heart, You'll always be powerful. Stay safe, keep it up! We're all waiting for your comeback, that'll bring us innovative music. With love, yours Mention :D

[@uriel-heavensguardian8949]

Ya gotta do it!!!!!! Can’t stay on go all the time. What good is life if you can’t take a break and slow down once in a while? Your health trumps everything!!! The break will help trigger some creativity anyways.

[@remigusker6024]

Whenever you're good to release more music, I'll be patiently waiting for it. Until then, be well man and I look forward to when you're back at it!

[@GemmaMarie278]

I feel this so much dude and I just started a channel a few months ago and I needed to hear this ❤

[@hex_a_lexa]

Totally understandable. I'm the same way with Twitch. I can only hang out on Twitch so much before it gets to be too much or it feels like it's a chore. And that's not even creating content. I can only imagine what being a content creator is like. I couldn't do it. I wouldn't worry about not creating anything. If ppl don't understand and want you to create stuff to make THEM happy, those don't matter. Those are the ones that think they own you and you're here exclusively for them. Forget about those guys. Just do what you're able to do. Don't feel obligated by any means.

[@mansoorsabaag3964]

I have paused my creative writing the last four months because you stopped releasing new music. BUT THIS HELL OF A GOOD NEWZ!!!!! I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEW SONGS!!!!!! But take good care of your brain because ruining it means ruining your music too. So be careful and get well!

[@supernaturalc1d784]

Dont worry, take care of yourself. Its so important that you take breaks when you feel like you need one. Love your music and take care

[@kufuroll]

You're so talented master 🖤 Listen yourself I'll wait. We'll wait.

[@ShayTaylor-si3dp]

I hope whatever you make next, you enjoy the shit out of the process. Your passion always shines through in the end. Glad you're now well

[@Brandon47]

True fans and friends absolutely understand . You do what's good for you and your life, I 💯 % will remain a fan and enjoy what ever you share , ty for being and individual

[@figs9106]

Very true we miss your artistic style. Stay healthy we can wait. 👍

[@mandikrasowski6555]

You are quality over quantity. So excited to hear what you have coming.

[@Themasksuss]

Been here since the start and can say your consistancy were beyond appreciated but taking time for your health is priority nummer 1. In my book. So take all the time you need to heal, atleast im here for the long term.

[@EdenEditz]

🖤 Take care man, much love!

[@zee_mouse]

Glad you're taking time to take care of yourself and you have your priorities in order. Still listen to your music almost every day, it's some of my comfort jams. The sheer quality of music and content you produce has to take so much effort and I know how much of your mind and soul you sacrifice for it. Fans will still be here when you're ready and able to do more. Getting burnt out from the music/entertainment industry will absolutely crush you if you let it. None of us want to see that happen to such an awesome dude.

[@Ameriant-]

Health over everything, especially algorithm.. been here for like 3 years and I don’t intend on leaving any time soon. Take as long as you need. ❤ -probably the only girl on the planet named Theo 😂

[@theresejonsson4726]

I can only agree with everyone else. Your health will always be more important than work. Your music is amazing and you're spoiling us with the amount you're creating, so please take care of yourself.

[@endlessblack9984]

Take your time Swarm! Your health is important.

[@sylvirgiomanach1491]

Always take care of yourself first. 💖 We'll still be here.

[@joshlink2129]

Three new songs your a machine. You make ridiculously good music., I'd compare you more to like a composer of classical music, with all it's complexity and layers., love what you do fam..

[@wickedhorizoninc]

Breaks are important for a lot of reasons. Mental health, creativity, inspiration, etc. That is especially true in regard to social media which can become an incredibly chaotic distraction. Always take care of yourself first, the rest of the world can wait.

[@torbenbott6872]

Bro your recent songs have been fire, have a good rest cause you've more then earnt it!

[@stevekuchin2984]

Glad to hear that you're keeping healthy, both mentally and physically. Can't wait for the new music and hopefully you'll release these new 12 songs on vinyl and cd because I'll buy both. Fuck social media.

[@jrestik9747]

as you fans your helth is a priority with us happy to see you rise back🔥

Taking care of yourself is always super important, Brother. Real ones will always be here when you're ready to come back. Hope find some calm in the storm.

[@unfazer-v2260]

Like everyone is saying : your Health > your job. I personally really do not mind you releasing less songs per year, it might even give you more time to compose and I feel this is a good thing. I'll be looking forward to your next song though !

[@chaosofkarma8289]

Don't worry my man, we will be waiting for you

[@Alexiot0nic]

hey brother, it's alright. Take your time and charge up. Don't feel pleasured to do stuff we do as a community. if you ever need to take a break once again, don't feel bad! the community is here, and we will wait for your return; we will be just as happy when you return. we are just happy that your taking the time you need, these days its needed and I understand that lol we all do. dont say sorry for being human, and keep rocking man!

You're right- we're not machines. I know what it's like to have mental health issues, so... keep your time! We fuckin' love you anyway! 🖤

This is for You!!! a Big Black 🖤Grüße aus Germany

[@itsmeyourfriend1]

Yes bro I just started taking a break from the Internet, I had a severe Internet addiction which is using daily at least 10 hours in scrolling . The Internet inside my home letting me stay all the day in home after work .So, what I did 2 days ago I cancel internet service in my home , but keep mobile internet active , then I prevent using my mobile inside home .I am only allowed using mobile outside home which is in cafe shop or outdoor anywhere .I stay all the day outside home , when my day finish, I throw my mobile in my personal locker in my gym , then I back home 😂 . So when I went home no internet no distractions only a device to read downloaded E-Book offline . After 1 hours of reading I feel automatically want to sleep . When I reach my bed , I sleep in only 1 min with deep sleep . Yes this one makes me feel great , and now I am using internet in my local cafe shop .

[@skwal5464]

yeah don't worry dude take your time ;-)
