He put his soul into it and it makes you feel for SpongeBob and honestly a s a 29 year old man who watched not only this show but also this episode live the song still gets to me. It doesn't specifically have to be a pet but someone who you truly fell in love with and then them walk out of your life. Thank you for this beautiful song and the memories that came with that episode

[@Mrnut69]

That why spongebob was so good, they put everything over 100%, stills, music, animation, colors. Everything on that show directly influences animation today. Those guys were literal geniuses and knew the best way to make a master piece was to genuine, honest comedy, great music thats original, and concepts that meant something like characters from the ocean, a world we are so afraid of because of its pure sublime wonder. People broke those fears cause of these concepts. People have creers as marine biologists and zoos because of there influences from childhood. Thats the greatness of spongebob

[@WhateverIsayIswrong]

There is a studio version of this on spotify

[@TwentySeventhLetter]

I love this specifically because it's such a silly premise for a song, it's such an absurd starting place that you have to go along with to get invested in, much like SpongeBob as a show in general. You have to place yourself in a more childlike, wondrous headspace to realize that it's not about the details of who's missing or what the plot of the episode was, this is a song about losing a pet, a friend, a loved one, and it is unrelentingly honest and heartfelt in every fucking note. The fact that it's so silly also let's you come up for air amid your tears with giggles at how funny it is you're crying over a lost cartoon snail, and at how wonderful it is some people were capable of writing a story so silly and yet so meaningful that it's both accessible and important to young children. This is why I will always cherish Spongebob as critical viewing for basically anyone under the age of 30.

I'm a vet tech. Unfortunately cats are very very good at hiding terminal illness. Don't beat yourself up. Your kid loved you enough to keep the pain out of your life until it was too late. Especially when it comes to cardiac cases, one minute they're with us and the next they're not and you wouldn't never know otherwise. Cats are stubborn little creatures but that's why we love them so much.

[@BIGAARON100]

I think the backstory of how it was created impacts me and cements this song in the all time impactful songs list, I just lost my cat to someone not paying attention to the road, he passed away in my arms, but I’ve been playing this song over and over because, I wish I could take back every complaint or just give you one more hug and kiss , you were more than a pet , you were my son and I’ll miss you I hope if you have a pet look them in the eyes , tell them you love them and keep that image in your head , someday that’ll be the only thing that can get you through the pain.
