[@somedorkydude6483]

Just wanted to say here Oh klahomas isnt about one person being unsympathetic towards the other its the exact oposite. The narrator is clearly synpathetic towards the other person aka klahoma. "I get a little gray hair for every scare you share" "I hear your eyes and i see those cries i cant be the only one who hears you" The line pertaining to cloths and pictures the background lyrics being klahoma has repsonses. Klahoma isnt being forced. Its clear when you realize the narrator suggested to take a picture or two and klahoma offered to take two or three. So what does it really mean well in the context of the story klahoma is going to a party so what its really saying is "Go on and hand me your coat" " while you're there maybe get a picture or two" "I can see you" However the narrator wants to learn to be more popular on their own as they put their freind on rest so i can see you is the narrator coming to the party despite the others wishes the i can see you means the Now the seeing eachothers true selves part could be equally true but its most likely not malicous because klahkma isnt bothered by the requests. I bring it up because it misses the brilliance of what the song is about. The story is actyally about somebody wanting to be more popular and social then they actually are and they are attebding parties despite their social anxiety. The narrator feels responsible for the other person and its overwhelming for the narrator Narrators perspective: -"I hear those eyes and i see those cries i cant be the only one who hears you" -"I get a little grey hair for every scare you share" -"dont put me to rest" -"set the phasers to rot" -"what has got you distraut?" Klahomas perspective: -"its all about ascention i guess dont put me to rest" The narrator doesbt feel like klahoma is meabt for parties and would be taken advantage of. The song is about two freinds or possibly more with one feeling like they need to take care of the other to their own exhaustion and the other trying to become more popular but cant because they are to socislly anxious for parties.

[@creatortheoc2434]

I think Ballad of Hamantha is about disability. The struggles that come with it. Something that's not talked about a lot but is definitely something that comes with being physically disabled: malpractice with a corpse. Many physically disabled people's bodies have been illegally preformed on due to their disability. I think that's what the "doctor taking a bite of her" means (yes I know this part was made before the rest of the song, but with the context of the song it makes sense). There's many physically deformed skeletons that have been called "aliens" or "monsters". I think that's why Jack stuaber chose something as silly as a ham- to reflect on the strangeness abled body/mind people see in disabled people. It's also how disabled people, especially after they've passed, are glorified. Stories of how disabled people took their own lives or were brutally murdered due to discrimination- you'll have people commenting about how "strong they must've been" I'm autistic. While I think this song mostly fits physical disabilities, it has ways of fitting mental disabilities. This song hits hard for me because of that. So, I thought I'd share my perspective Thanks for reading my insane ramblings.

It's funny, we have nearly exact opposite interpretations of Oh Klahoma. I always saw it as a more supportive song, the lines about clothes and pictures being more metaphorical and about being vulnerable with each other. It opens with one friend expressing bad feelings with the set phasers to rot, then the other asking what's wrong, the bit at the beginning about "negative attention" and "call it norhing" was about the one person downplaying their own feelings, while the other tries to validate and support them telling them "Maybe it's something" essentially telling them that like, hey, maybe you *are* going through some shit, tell me about it. With the friend finally breaking and saying "It's all about ascension" (meaning death, potentially feeling suicidal). The chorus shows supportive friend encouraging them to talk about their feeling to which they respond "don't get me started", we further see supportive friend trying to be validating by telling them about the grey hairs, essentially saying their fears are valid and *are* scary, and that they see and hear them, and they can't be the only one. Other people understand what depressed friend is going through, they aren't alone. The "Those aren't meant to bend" back and forth is the supportive friend essentially pointing out directly "Things shouldn't be this way for you, you deserve better. You arent supposed to be in this much pain" and depressed friend repeating it back, taking in what supportive friend is saying, and the song ends on a hopeful note, with depressed friend finally sharing their fears. After saying "Don't get me started" again, they let go and share "I might die", they're scared they may actually hurt themself, and we see that supportive friend has at least managed to get through to them enough that they're willing to share openly and potentially get help. I will say, I do agree that the takeaway is ultimately "Get therapy"

[@SunBleachedGhost]

All in all, I really like seeing the different ways people can interpret the same piece of art, Oh Klahoma is a very meaningful song to me too, so I have a lot of thoughts on it.

[@lifetime4378]

First i love the surprise at the end, it was so cool! My view of "now and then" i kinda like my BPD. Taking parts of other people because you don't have those of your own. The pain is the emptiness and the voices remind me of someone asking me "Do you like (insert hobby)" and even though i may not like it (the "i'm anxious" part), i say that i do. Of course this is based of my personal experience, but that's what i enjoy about Jack; there are so many different interpretations that can be specific to you. btw i love your videos, keep up the amazing work

Loving your content as a whole, and I wanted to make a suggestion for an artist that would be pretty nice to see covered, their name is GHOST and they make vocaloid songs. These are some of my favourites: Hyperdontia, Novacaine, Honey I'm home, The distortionist, Spider on the wall(Newer version) All of these songs are slightly disturbing, not in the way Jack's works are, but it is there in the most subtle way that you don't really notice until you realise what the lyrics are actually saying, except for Novacaine, it is just full force in your face showing you the distrubing elements on a silver platter.

I first thought upon watching this video that I had found a portal to madness. Then I realized that IT had found a portal to ME. It was a life-changing realization, as was the realization that the transition sound between segments of the video was the sound the transporter in Star Trek makes when people materialize. I checked to see if *I* had materialized. Thankfully, I hadn't. Btw, IMHO, Daniel Profeta is now one of the prime content makers on KZbin, and one of the sharpest, funniest, most insightful people in this benighted world, a world which is nothing much more than a clown car hurtling down the Interstate at 120 within three inches of the guardrail.

[@pizzarellayt]

Yet another great video! I wanted to touch a little bit on "now and then". I've heard one theory I agree with saying that it's about the phrase "new year, new me", since the video was uploaded on new years eve. The theory states that the corpse (referred to once as "then" in the video) and the living character (presumably known as "now" due to the title) are the same character, and that Then is filled with aspects and experiences from that year, and Now is taking a few things with him that he wants to bring with him into the new year. He also remarks that the clock he's taking with him "didn't work very well", so maybe he's planning on getting it fixed, maybe to have better time management or keeping his sleep schedule on track. I also love Jack's representation of anxiety, a mass of nothing that fills your whole chest, or at least some of it.

Yeah, the anxiety representation was greatly appreciated when I first watched that video

Your little bit at the end almost made me think I was actually watching a Jack Stauber video, lol. That was awesome!

[@danielprofeta]

:) hell yes

[@pkendlers]

When I first ran across Jack Stauber's work, I thought he was someone in his 40s. That he was in his early 20s at the time. Blew me away. This creature, this Jack, has unearthly talent and wisdom for one so young. Mind blown. I hope he's around to amazes us for years to come.

[@icetailthefandomgirl]

If you do another one of these you should look into It's Alright. It's one of my favourite Jack Stauber songs and I've heard its supposed to simulate what a panic attack/mental breakdown feels like. It's so good :)

[@ghostwarriorcats]

Ive been waiting for part 2 since part one im happy you ending up making this! Gg my man also i really like your music career i hope that goes well for you to

[@danielprofeta]

If you ever want to check out more of my music, I have a bandcamp page: danielprofeta.bandcamp.com/ Specifically, I'd recommend my most recent release. It's about 25 minutes long, and it's completely free. There's a pdf of short stories and art that goes with it, and everything fits together. Anyways, now that I've self promoted my work here is done. Thanks for watching my friend, see you around:)

[@timothywisniewski5175]

Thank you, I found your channel after the first one, barely a minute in and very excited!

[@danielprofeta]

Welcome back:)

[@comradeScallion]

the production on that song is actually so good omg

[@danielprofeta]

Thanks, did it all myself. I have 3 albums of original musicyou can find here on youtube and on bandcamp if you want

[@allubys4208]

that ending bit was relatable, also very nice !

[@danielprofeta]

Thank you, I love relatability.

[@abbyrose1868]

Holy crap your video and song at the end was amazing!

[@danielprofeta]

Thank you:)

[@vinnygothika7510]

When you talked about disturbing dreams in the intro, or dreams that stick with you it literally made me remember all the dreams that have had things that stuck with me, thanks for that. 👍

[@AmelieIrwin]

I love this little series so much! Jack stauber meant a lot to me when I was younger and helped me when I was going through hard times. I feel like after watching his content after a few years helped me mature and look at the world a lot differently. I loved hearing other peoples perspectives of his work :) Thanks Daniel!

[@MadVrr]

I know you didn't mention it, but I think the song "Dinner is not Over" is about someone using drugs, so much that he sees it as a dessert. Also the person he mentioned in the song is either the man/women's loved one, or wife/husband, worries that as the song says "You have the power to go any night."

[@danielprofeta]

My personal interpretation of dinner is not over is totally different haha

[@MadVrr]

Haha. Well hey we all have different opinions. Also I recently watched the music video, and I could be wrong.

[@MadVrr]

Well hey, keep doing what your doing. And hey, maybe check out "There's something happening" by Jack himself.

[@cinnamonflavoredbees]

OUGHHH that ending bit where you replicated his style was SPOT ON! i really loved it, especially that stop motion-y stuff lmao. banger vid as always

[@danielprofeta]

I wonder what cinnamon flavored bees taste like? Think they sting or?

[@cinnamonflavoredbees]

@@danielprofeta probably! reminds me of that one time my dog was sniffing a dead bee and licked it stinger first and stung herself. she's very dumb

[@whoisshe_.]

I stumbled across your channel literally the best thing ever ! I love the topics you cover and good job with the end !!

[@heart2mila]

OML I JUST FINISHED THE VIDEO AND THE ENDING IS MAGNIFICENT

[@danielprofeta]

Hell yeah!!

[@tomisonline]

im litterally obsessed with these videos bro you don't even know

[@danielprofeta]

Well, if it's any consolation, this comment literally made my day

[@soadlivenuncut]

you did a perfect job oh my god (i’m new to your youtube channel and i love it so much, you are a genuinely very cool person)

[@UFO_MAN]

Glad I subscribed, this some premo eating. Edit: my suggestion for content is “they might be giants”, they hit every single time and have that jack stauber feel but 30 years early.

[@danielprofeta]

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch Who watches over you Make a little birdhouse in your soul Not to put too fine a point on it Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet Make a little birdhouse in your soul

[@firesnake5686]

You should try to do "Pleasentries" next! he has a lot of story there. I've known him for a couple years and i think it would be nice if someone analyzed all his hard work.

[@danielprofeta]

I love Pleasentries sm

[@experience.exe1400]

Wow this is really great! Thank you for another video about Jack, it's always interesting and I love seeing how you see this videos and songs as well. If you do another video would you mind going over Dinner? It's been one of my favorite songs as of late, and I relate to it a lot. Anyways, thank you again for the amazing video. It's obvious you put a lot of effort into it :)

[@danielprofeta]

Dinner was originally in this script along with like four other tracks, but I ended up cutting it so I could finish the video on time. Maybe in part three:)

[@DannyS177]

Still no Opal! Man, you really know how to keep making me come back for more!

[@danielprofeta]

Opal will get its own video

[@girlwithhairlikethis]

[@buggyfresa]

[@danielprofeta]
