[@musicandLYRICs141]

I'm actually sobbing I burst into tears at "just because everythings changing doesnt mean it's never been this way before" This is so amazing!!!!

[@chickenparsley2875]

omg.. thankyou so much for watching! pls dont cry ;A;

[@silverstring9928]

“Now we’re back to the beginning” AGHHHHHHH “it’s just a feeling and no one knows yet” AHSHKDKSJSNBDJD GROSS SOBBING

[@rlvids9889]

I started out like "oh I know this is an emotional song, I'm probably about to get hit with some Feelings" and then I saw Lucretia's hand on the staff at "I'll come back when you call me" and I just kind of went "ohhhh nooo" as I realized the direction you were gonna take this and the fucking enormity of how much my heart was about to be crammed into a paper sack and punted down a flight of stairs. Fucking beautiful, I'm crying.

[@mcusher2753]

why are there so many songs that match up perfectly with the balance ark's story?

[@gabwood1514]

My first time through I was sad at seeing Johann and the voidfish, then the realization of why it was matched up with the words "You'll come back when they call you" hit me like a sack of bricks how dare you (I love this so much omg)

[@ashtonlea2860]

the "back soon" litteRALLY MADE ME GASP HOW DARE YOU

[@maggiejackson2160]

Will I never be done crying about these dumb boys?!?!?!? This is so lovely. Thank you!

[@SuperAnonymouze]

Every once in a while there's a song that fits a story so well you almost can't imagine that they weren't written for each other. And then a fanvid maker makes something so perfect that it hurts. Like, god, you do such a good job with the irony of "doesn't mean that you have to forget." And how it's simulateously about the story of the Adventure Zone and also the actual fact that its a story-- which fits because that's kind of how the Adventure Zone works! And the crazy little visual representations that you just KNOW what they mean in spite of the fact that you're opperating in a visual medium and TAZ is a podcast... God, the little spider at the beginning. And the way, after the stolen century you bring it back to the beginning-- because that's the way the timeline actually WENT, even if that's not how the story's told... And so it somehow fits and at the same time is so sad because "it's just a feeling and no one knows yet" because they DON"T KNOW. You did such an amazing job of capturing everything I love about this story and these characters... Thank you.

[@earmuffstar2074]

hey? hey?? "back soon -lup" was never sadder. i loved this.

[@bethisjolly8537]

I haven’t cried at this song since I was 15 and gosh darn it I’ve got something in my eye now. (This was so stunning and I love it a lot. I’m literally on the last episode of taz right now and I love everything about this so much, so so much. I don’t think I’ll ever not watch it.)

[@chickenparsley2875]

thankyou! I hope you enjoy the finale as much as i did *v*

[@misch3095]

this is SO beautiful. i cant imagine the amount of dedication that went into this, its definitely one of my favorite taz pmvs now. the "now we're back to the beginning" at 2:10 fucked me up hard in the emotions department. incredible job on this!!!!!!!!!!

[@chickenparsley2875]

your comment means so much to me aah,,, thankyou so much for watching!!

[@madisonw.2761]

WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO MAKE ME FEEL THIS WAY

[@loudestcloud]

It's surprising how well this song fits to all my favourite things. Taz, Undertale, To the moon, Life is strange heck even Captain America if you think about it.

[@Lockfin]

Ango is truly the greatest hope for humanity.

[@bettybopeep5283]

The way you incorporate the glasses at 1:39 tho

[@anidaria]

GOD FUCK THIS SONG I HAVEN'T HEARD THIS IN SUCH A LONG TIME AND IT STILL MAKES ME SOB

[@laylahill4624]

There is an absurd amount of Regina spektor fans in the TAZ fandom, idk if it's coincidence that griffin talked abt her on "Wonderful!" Or not hmmmmm. amazing animation 👌👌 lov lov it!!! &Lov this song!!!

[@clockworkknight2677]

My heart! Well, guess I'm going to relisten to balance again!

[@auldren]

That's fine, I didn't need emotional stability or intact feelings or anything. I love crying

[@jamesamala7371]

Me: oh well guess it's finally time to listen to amnesty *sees this* Me @ past me: oH WeLl gUESs ITS FinALlY TiME TO LiSTEn To AmNEStY

[@captainswan618]

Somehow, I never thought about the line "you'll come back when it's over / no need to say goodbye" quite like THAT. Holy shit. Brb crying

[@drumblebee]

i just finished balance yesterday and im still soft about it and this song and this video and just the everything brought me very close to tears

[@willafowler5530]

[@theheartbrokenloofah]

Hey ahh, sorry I'm late to the party but this is so fantastic! I love this song and it fits so well, especially with all the losing memories part. Also I love the way you made things match up with the lovely lyrics (The 'back soon' frame made me tear up just a little.) Also dang is your art wonderful! I adore the way you drew the voidfish and junior and the brush and colours are super pretty. Just gosh, this is so, so good and I thought you should know.
