Midnight Gospel & Accepting Death • Give Up Hope To Be Happy

[@Train115]

His mom is so soft spoken, her character design in the show is amazing.

[@Omachronic8326]

So sad she passed before the show came out

[@swifty200100]

Another way im learning to take this is: so many people get complacent, they live a routine, they live life waiting for a break, a miracle, a fantasy dream to come true. I'm stuck in the same rut. But reality isn't going to do that. We get what we make in this life. It's harsh but true for most.

This channels gonna blow up and I’m so happy I’m here before it does, in a year we’re gonna be boomin

[@tallskeleton]

Thank you! The video essays are a fairly new thing on the channel too - we have a lot of music videos and other things to check out

[@stokedmtb333]

@@tallskeleton the video essays are excellent, engaging, thought provoking and most of all - authentic. Keep it up! Subbed.

Why why why I cry and get so emotional as soon as that episode comes back to my mind

[@noah-jazz]

Same dude, me eyes r wet now

[@kaaamiel1487]

i always try to find what bothers me so much about life and why i was so scared of dying and nothing having purpuse and stuff like that , but i could never find anything on the internet, but i could really relate to Midnight Gospel.

[@tallskeleton]

I hope this was helpful to you to some degree - it can be hard. but getting more comfortable with yourself, and the feeling can make things more tolerable and you can regain presence more and more with your days. headspace app is good

[@kaaamiel1487]

Tall Skeleton k thank you, i’ll try it :)

[@calringer]

I see Tyler explaining flower boy in there. One of my favorite things of in depth detail showing artistry through intention

[@calringer]

I want to see more of that. U make the best video essays man A1 quality

Im a big Jerrod Carmichael fan so I love that interview

[@pierogiwizard4276]

I found your channel from H3 and have enjoyed a bunch of your content, I was so excited to find this! My Dad passed away a week before lockdown (unrelated to COVID, he had a stroke in recovery from heart surgery). A month later, the Midnight Gospel saved me from myself. I'm an only child and the last remaining member of my family now at 32. Every single episode found a way to worm its way into a heart that didn't want to accept the world was going to keep turning without the people I love on it. It helped me to accept the gift of grief. Being able to appreciate every moment no matter how mundane, and to be grateful for the time that I get with the people I love. It taught me to be a lot less hard on myself. You've encapsulated my sentiments about this piece of work so precisely. Fantastic job as always, and thanks to anybody who read this far.

[@tallskeleton]

ah thanks for watching and sharing your story. my mom was diagnosed with cancer a month after the midnight gospel came out and she passed away like 9 months later. that last episode hurts a lot. its a really beautiful show and I hope netflix will let it free for someone else to pick it up. I hope you find fulfillment to make your life happy and meaningful

[@pierogiwizard4276]

@@tallskeleton The last episode gets me every time no matter how many times I've seen it. Losing a parent is a completely different kind of deep, lifelong grief. Watching somebody you love lose their battle with cancer or something I hope I never see again. I also hope Netflix gets their dirty little paws out of it. You can tell it was made with a lot of passion and care, and it would be a shame to see that potential (and jobs for animators) fall by the wayside.

[@fratking2494]

No cap best channel I’ve came across

[@tallskeleton]

Thanks fratking

[@yuckitsjj]

this needs more views

[@schnepps1798]

The question isn't if this channel will blow up, it is when! Seriously though, you guys are awesome and yall deserve so much more attention than you get

[@tallskeleton]

thank you! -zane

[@theodoretekkers]

This show was amazing. It really affected me deeply and I'm still trying to digest everything.

[@david3601bulls]

the last episode of midnight gospel destroyed me

[@tallskeleton]

I think its the best episode - you can find the original podcast the audio is pulled from, its ~2hrs long

[@idi0tsanswich379]

this video and generally the midnight gospel, mean alot to me. I personally think about death alot and I'm glad things like mg and subsequently video essays on it reel me back in and let me think about it a bit Even then no one is expected to fully understand and be at terms with it it's just a good thing to comprehend sometimes good video skeletal guy :)

[@tallskeleton]

Thank you!!

[@eieyntia]

the midnight gospel is easily one of the best shows ive every watched, it truely changed my world veiw

[@estebanlacrosse7847]

Yo I think this is going to be one of my favorite KZbin channel you have the same interest in KZbinrs & musicians as I do can’t wait for the next videos you release keep it up

[@tallskeleton]

Steven Munoz thank you! I make music videos, short films, music visualizers, podcasts, and video essays :) I’m hoping it’ll be a good channel for artsy people

[@joelweir9677]

Man this channel deserves sooo much love this is just a thought but you should do your own videos on some of the major sound cloud rappers like juiceWRLD xxxtentacion and lil peep idk just a thought but love your stuff keep it up !❣️

[@jazzscriv]

man this was phenomenal. You connected some dots for me that I was trying to tackle after I watched midnight gospel. Thank you for this amazing commentary

[@DieTupperDose]

Maan I teared up a bit. Amazing video keep it up! Greeting from Germany

thank you! I hope you are well -zane

[@SmokeyChipOatley]

The eternity we spent prior to when we were born combined with the eternity we will spend after we die is equal in existential importance to the brief blink-of-an-eye amount of time we will spend alive on this earth. However you may choose to interpret that, I just wanted to give context to how precious of a gift each day we spend living our lives is.

[@geekybeans]

going through all of your videos now. Youre a talented fellow, these videos are great. Keep up the good work (also praying for Jaden Album Reviews)

[@tallskeleton]

Geeky Beans thank you! I appreciate it :)

[@cassrose4444]

I just watched this for the first time while in a K hole and i never loved anything more. It really gave me such a beautiful experience.

[@tallskeleton]

It’s suuuuch a good show Be safe be well!!

[@usto_kos8894]

what a great video you have made! i adore your editing and effort you put into this 14 minutes long piece of art that made me cry

[@Sleeepehead]

I just watched the show for the first time. And it hurt so bad, In the best way. The one and only complaint I have with the show is how Clancy as a character never got to reconcile with his sister

[@tallskeleton]

I’m really hoping there’s more seasons The sister dynamic was great

[@wildwolf3938]

It's been a few years and people have quit talking about TMG. I wished there was a second season but at this rate there probably never will be. :c

[@tallskeleton]

Duncan said Netflix cancelled it and they own the rights so they can’t take it anywhere else either :((

[@joemama765]

Beautiful video so happy I found it one of my favorite shows

[@Satsui_No_Hado]

Damian Echols is my favorite one alongside Duncan's Mom which is the sublime episode. Magick in general is so interesting and it's my favorite episode.

[@FletcherDoesStuff]

This was fantastic. Great job man!

[@tallskeleton]

Thank you! Hoping for season 2

[@thirdgen377]

Amazing eye-opener of a show. Definitely not for the closed-minded, they'd just see it as nonsense. I recommend watching it on LSD too.

[@tallskeleton]

It’s nice you can go listen to the original long Duncan Trussle Family Hour podcasts too

[@Eudaletism]

Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

interstellar is my favorite movie

[@Eudaletism]

@@tallskeleton It is good, did they say that quote in the movie? People may tell you to accept death, but you don't have to if you don't want to. There is already dignity in fighting for life, right up until the end. I plan to sign up for cryonics myself.

[@tallskeleton]

@@Eudaletism yeah they say it in the movie 3 or 4 times. Michael Caine’s character. And I actually agree with you. I wanna take care of myself and have a good long time

Just stumbled upon this video, really great editing and message. Something I really needed to hear right now #Enjoyeverysandwich

[@lethal19832]

to exist on earth is what all beings are to go through to belong in the universe and have their place, your conciousness is nutting but a enigma entity that was delt into the dna of er 4 bears that achieved what it was meant to have us , everyones time will come whether its being brought here nor onto another area of realm , what it means parishing is you have to start all over deja vu until you get it

[@fish97826]

this deserves 100 times the views, truly one of the best Gospel videos i've had the pleasure of watching. Keep it up!

[@tcironbear21]

Having watched most of the series and the last episode, I have come to a conclusion. The video essays on the Midnight Gospel are considerably better than the Midnight Gospel, but the most important parts of the Midnight Gospel are not in any video essay.

[@tallskeleton]

this a smoldering hot take

[@tcironbear21]

@@tallskeleton KZbin keeps suggesting all these video essays on the Midnight Gospel. They pump me up to watch the Midnight Gospel. I watch an episode and think "Other than those one or two points this episode kind of dull." Then I stop watching until another video essay persuades me to give it another try. I think I have went through this cycle 5 times. I think that the Midnight Gospel is ultimately a conversation piece. It value is not in what it inspires directly, but in the conversations in inspires.

[@tallskeleton]

@@tcironbear21 I found the conversations the show has very personally meaningful and brought me to think a lot about life, my own life and other's at a pretty introspective and grand bigger picture scale. I like the humanity in it a lot. I never found the episodes dull but some people will - I listen to podcasts a lot in my free time too though so Im more used to that sort of content

[@justblue974]

beautiful

[@tallskeleton]

Thank you for watching!

[@nowcsp]

Great work!

[@tallskeleton]

Thank u!

[@karaking2391]

Love the video! But where'd you get the 24 year old age from??? Never says anything about that, in fact clancy (Duncan) says his real age at one point

[@tallskeleton]

No you’re totally right tbh I think it was just a Mandela effect thing where I was 24 when I made the video and for some reason I coulda swore having the memory we were the same age. And then I just was too lazy to fact check unfortunately. Thank you for watching though!!

[@SirEvilestDeath]

Way to start out not knowing what you are talking about. So you watched the final episode twice right? How do you jot know it wasn’t 20 minutes long? That was literally the only extended episode the show had and the other episodes were even over 20 minutes.

[@tallskeleton]

Im not sure what you mean since I said that the final episode was extracted from a 2 hour + podcast with his mom, and also said that the other episodes were also adapted from other longform podcasts. I think you misunderstood me to be saying the opposite of what I said. Regardless glad you like the show SirEvilestDeath
