[@Cragmortis]

@@owl3650 The grandfather is trying to make her stop trying to help him by stating that all people not just him do not help. Knowing that someone is in need is subjective and usually a child learns to distinguish this depending on their surroundings and upbringing by parents. This sort of statement will make her believe for the rest of her life that she shouldn't bother helping others because there is a possibility they don't need it. So she won't commit an "Evil" like the grandfather is implying.

[@GageFilms]

The grandfather has been my favorite family member, ever since opal was released. His song and his personality felt the most genuine out of all of them. He's still awful for neglecting Claire but atleast he's not lying about his vices.

[@harcheryyt1662]

Mirror man stan here, sup!

[@vincetravis8701]

@Pristine Artifact I feel that it's not just smoking when it comes to the grandfather. Yes, the smoking is sad, but more of the outright neglect of Claire comes from the fact that he is also addicted to the television. He doesn't spend enough time with Claire because he values watching his shows over paying enough attention to her. To Claire she is only seen as the cigarette go-getter because that's the only time the grandfather diverts his attention away from the television.

[@Audiodump]

Everyone in that house is broken and all of them have addictions that help them escape from reality. This includes Claire. This is how the cycle continues.

[@37Dayzzz]

I can imagine what he means by "they fight over me like dogs!" Commercials are much easier to understand without a visual stimuli than tv shows are, same with singing. So that's probably why the only thing he can remember is the commercials and the singing, and that's eating away at his soul.

[@clostridiumtetani9947]

Yeah. No other explanation for it given commercials tend to be as "gentle" in getting information across as possible, for somebody to describe commercials like that either they're annoyed by having to deal with the commercial or, they don't understand what the hell it is.

[@Reagan1984]

I always interpreted it as him using the TV as a coping mechanism, hence the "I'm popular here" and "They all sing to me" He essentially thinks the TV is talking to him and him personally

[@ladybirdg5658]

The second "I'm popular here" hits like a train IT IS SO SMOOTH.

[@hahaha_0NE]

this may be an incorrect interpretation, but i like to think this is less about his smoking habits and more about underlying mental illness, and how the old man uses television as a coping mechanism. the entire section of the song where he's singing about what's happening on the tv is very revealing to me about his feelings. like with how claire imagines she's part of the bill board family, the old man listens to the tv and imagines he's part of their fun- "i'm popular here, they all sing to me" is a very good line to show this, and is further emphasised when the girls sing in response. "the girls dance too, i presume," "yeah we do," is also a good line. he imagines that he's able to be there and do everything that everyone else can do, and then when he's brought back to reality, he wonders why it's so easy for them to do what they do. he wonders why it's so easy for them to dance, laugh, and enjoy themselves. i don't think it's a stretch to say that the old man may be suffering from depression. it can be an utterly soul-crushing experience, and it can prevent you from doing even the most basic things. the old man's depression prevents him from going out and having fun like the people on tv, ("why does it sound so easy to breathe on tv",) he smokes as a coping mechanism for his depression, which in turn only makes him more depressed because of his addiction. it's a vicious cycle for him, only made worse by his subpar living conditions. i've tried re-writing this 3 times to better convey my point and compress it, sorry if it's still lacking.

[@Kawn0]

I actually really like this interpretation, each family member imagining themselves in their own world, each of them sick and tired of each other and focusing on their own needs and wants in their little world

[@bakrobertjohnston4889]

i think this has some truth to this his presumed blindness could also be fueling some of his habits cause losing one of your 5 senses is super depressing

Same I feel because its such a sad topic in a catchy tune and althpugh its unco fortable to think about you know there are countless people who can relate to this song on ome way or anouther weather being the old man or knowinh someone like him so you cant stop thinkng about it. And lisening to a catchy songs easier then thinking anout people who are so depressed they are smoking themselves to death and waisting away

[@SidneyRees]

I still hear this song and keep trying go understand this feeling that makes me feel. Amazing

[@lolmenx4]

​@@SidneyRees2 years later too, that just proves how good is it

[@mojo_joju]

Yeah, I can relate to being stuck in a life in which you have no control over anything, not even your own body. So he's lost in fantasy because reality is a grim, harsh place

[@gamerlou754]

We getting out of our smoking addiction with this one🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

[@lourivera8449]

am I the only one who felt bad for him he reminds me of my own grandpa

[@greekgodapollosfarts7823]

I felt bad for him too.

[@saferabies]

I think that's the point. a sad comforting nostalgia that reminds you of someone you loved and spent time with, even though they were in poor heatlth. you don't want to leave their side regeardless.

[@saferabies]

@@greekgodapollosfarts7823 He was pretty normal compared to the rest

[@anomolouscow3761]

The grandpa is a bit more multifaceted than the other characters. The other characters are just selfish and mean, and even though there is apparently implied to be some trauma that caused them to act like that, it isn't an excuse. The grandpa, however, seems to be less aware of his effects on Claire. I don't think he really realizes how traumatizing it is for her that he's having her fetch him cigarettes, literally forcing her to let him slowly kill himself. He definitely isn't a good person, but there's a tragic layer to him that really doesn't resonate in the other characters like it does him.

[@gingerkid-mk4ku]

He reminds me of my grandpas friend a lot he was a drug addict and had some health problems he just lays in bed watching tv he can see but he can’t walk he doesn’t try to help himself at all

[@ilovetweek000]

For a guy who apparently can't breathe very well, he is a really good singer.

[@SuperKangarooBros]

This song is sad but I just can’t get over the dance the lip girl does at 1:25 It’s too funny

[@mr.dr.cansoup1629]

Listening to this in a hospital with a collasped lung...... I can relate :D

[@Acariiakaaaarii]

Hope ur ok

Why does the guy who can barely breathe have the best song?💀💀💀💀

[@ZeusMakesDoodles]

Girl is FUCKING IT UP

Bro this dancing is gravity💀

[@37Dayzzz]

Jack Stauber really hit a good middle ground in entertainment. Just enough to entertain and interesr you but not too edgy to a point where it makes you feel like shit.

[@alannacussons9680]

Just had a random panic attack out of nowhere and couldn't breathe... After I recovered it was my immediate reaction to put this on and jam tf out, seemed fitting

[@ashleyoswald7836]

The distortion in this old man’s voice is so unsettling and creepy..I love it I can’t stop watching/listening

[@Iisratty]

He’s so fucking scary but man… his song is such a banger

[@sillysillycar]

Clarie is probably just watching him waiting to give him his cigarettes as he sings like ◒_◒

[@m3ri_sa66h]

Idk why but this ONE song just makes my brain go brrrrrrrrr. Gramps was dropping bars with his dying lungs istg

[@Zero-lt7zu]

the loop is so clean i can see my reflection in it

[@ethanjones4932]

Jack Stauber is crazy talented. Some of his animations are borderline creepy, but somehow so easy to fall in love with.

[@GrimTEAM]

Nice

disturbing banger

[@plainwhiterice8725]

This song has been stuck in my head for I don’t even know how long.

[@AoiUsagiOtoko]

i might've commented on this already but like...fuck a really close of me and my wife recently went off to join the military. i asked him once offhandedly if he knew of jack stauber and it ended up in him and me singing this together, lol. this song's always had a very bittersweet vibe to me, and that memory just makes it even moreso. we heard from him recently but still, we miss him.

[@nazallion]

That was really clean, nice loop

[@TGtornadoe]

Why is this such an unapologetically catchy bop!

[@Illumin666]

0:42 Struggle To Breath 1 0:46 Struggle To Breath 2 0:52 just struggles

[@baeniebabie2819]

this would be really good for a horror/phycological game ad

It seems easy to breathe on TV because it's on air😂

[@Em_Cee669]

I hate you. Take my like

[@kleinesschreckgespenst319]

Oh wow our special boy stole a top comment. How creative

[@MindOverMood]

I like how the singers are only mouths with stick figure bodies, because he has no idea what they actually look like. Just what he hears.

[@tiana2325]

Why am I obsessed with this?

[@Brob3rt]

As a man who's fond of cigarettes and escapism, this song hits me like a fucking bullet

[@hamfallowis3610]

The Asthma Anthem.

[@JasmineNorman2007]

LMAOO

[@tylertalsma7794]

I love this song so much simple lyrics but have a complicated meaning. Plus it's catchy.

[@fiercefox4446]

Like most of you, I don’t even see this as referring to literal health problems. Thinking about the lyrics really puts it into a different perspective. TV makes life in general seem so easy. You watch it to live vicariously for the impossible things, you escape, pass time, etc. On the screen living the life you wants seems as easy as breathing.

[@justaintfeelinit8742]

For someone with severe lung issues this grandpa sure can sing

[@mondrider9138]

I didn't notice that this is looped, just when I came for see at the comments, nice work dude

[@veneratlazulum2033]

The song is really about escapism (not just smoking), its shallowness, and its purpose, and how sad/lonely people will drown their entire potential in escapism just to feel a short release from crippling pain. It's a little bit similar to "House of the Rising Sun."
