Tom Rosenthal - Albert Camus (Lyric Video)

[@ekinx5316]

i think Albert Camus would love the absurdity of bittersweet lyrics combined with happy instrumental

[@khatialomtadze4960]

I wonder if Tom can tell how deep our love towards him has been rooted in our hearts. Every new song he writes gives me this warm feeling. How is it we have never met , yet something they sing about relates to us on a level that can't be expressed by the words in an ordinary conversation. (I have got a riddled mind, I know)

“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.” ― Albert Camus

[@megadk93]

That, beside Toms lyrics,, pretty sums up things I've learned in this tough past half year :)

[@Verrixa]

Can we appreciate that this video is an one long shot?

[@Tom-ys3oy]

“Tomorrow you could be a big hole and the next day you could be a king”. I’ve never actually been a big hole or a king or a stone but I don’t know I related to that so much. Thank you Tom.

I owe my life to Albert Camus, him leading me from nihilism to absurdism saved me from ending myself and for that I will always hold him aloft

[@meenakshi2212]

Hey, can you suggest some of Albert Camus' book?

Dude, but nihilism is nothing like the absurdist philosophy. I love Camus too and he also saved my life in so many ways that I ended up getting a Sisyphus tattoo.

albert camus and tom rosenthal? a combination I didn't know I would ever need as much

[@GlowingAprilSky]

Tom does it yet again, leaving me with feelings i can't even express. The title threw me back to high school, and my at the time favorite book. I still don't understand how each song Tom does, comes at such a perfect time for me. I suppose they are just timeless.

[@faisaa.i15]

What the title of the book?

genuinely my favourite song of yours, and i love many of them. the lyrics the instrumentals the summer it came out and i listened to it on loop for days and weeks. and it made me pick up and albert camus book :)

[@anickamarie7145]

No other words to explain it, but somehow, each and every one of your songs makes me feel truly human in the best way possible

[@ndelvalle4]

I wonder if the man walking behind was planned or not. I like to think he was just lucky enough to appear in this lovely video. In that case, the day before he was probably a hole.

I'm French and I didn't know that Albert Camus was known abroad. I'm proud that Tom represents a bit of French litterature through this song. Thank you and cheers from France !

Dear Tom, it's been almost five years from the moment I've found your magical music. I'm so much in love with everything you create, and a lot of your songs stay in my little heart. This is one of them. Thanks for create an amazing music and through them a magical atmosphere. A huge hug to you and your sweet wife and daughters. ♡

Hi Tom, if you ever see this - thanks. Just, thanks for everything you do. When you played Big Pot Of Hummus during your show in Warsaw last year something switched in me and I'm on a self-acceptance journey since then. I also recently re-read my favourite book from highschool, which just happens to be Camus' The Plague. Seeing and hearing the crossover between one of my favourite authors ever and my absolutely top 1 songwriter ever is an experience I can't even describe. So thanks for everything Tom.

Thank you for this Tom, your songs always make me feel better x

[@the_luna_lily6234]

after having a very quick search about albert, i found that his philosophy about once you realise how weird and confusing life is, you can never get back, but then that made me realise, will toms music get weirder? if so, them i’m actually scared, as tom’s music is already weird, wonderful and confusing, also, i’m unsure if this is an insult or a compliment to tom

[@darthgandalf9485]

camus philosophy is not based on confusion, etc. he wrote of the clarity to see the complexity of life whilst knowing you are not this complex, feeling that you cannot grasp life in its true form and thus the absurdity of life becomes evident to us absurdism is quite a simplistic thought so i think well be safe from his music to become even greater ;p

[@the_luna_lily6234]

DarthGandalf, ‘confusing’ may not be a good word, but hopefully you understand what i tried to say
