Reacting to More Than Anything Sing-Along | Hazbin Hotel

[@lugard]

He saw her smile when he showed her a duck. He's spent the rest of his life trying to make the perfect one for her.

[@gl0wing_end3rman95]

This song hit people with daddy issues and father's with daughters hard I swear 😭

[@yastery8715]

I don't have daddy issues, but my parents are divorsed and when I watched it with my sister we both teared up

[@chrysakuracainoy4049]

I cried so hard, and this is my favourite song in par to insane

[@ShiroRiya]

This song makes me cry every single time. My father spent years blaming me for not reaching out to him and never taking responsibility for trying to see me. I was a child. And as an adult, the few times I did see him he just pushed me towards careers/schooling that I didn't want. I was happy at my job and making decent money, but it was never enough for him. Now our relationship is one text on my birthday and one at Christmas sometimes. Every time they get to that "I'm grateful you're my father/daughter" line, I become a blubbering mess 🥲

[@whatitdodave]

Well, as a father to a daughter. Facts!

[@adriankuban2904]

​@@whatitdodave "More than anything" This Song by Lucifer and his daughter Charlie brought me and my sister to tears from yesterday until now. And lover duet is breaking my heart. It's possible that Eve is character named Roo = Root of Evil in hell. Vivziepop has mention that she will in story.

[@somethingsinister...8035]

My theory for the ducks is him being fixated on the moment Charlie first laid eyes on one of his creations, the part where she sneaks in while he was working, and so he holds on to that memory of her smile despite being estranged for a long while. There's also that line he sings, "I've missed that smile."

[@baddicusauraelius1728]

That's honestly a very good inference, and I hadn't thought about that before. Good observation!

[@cyberwolf_1013]

I thought that too. It was a happy memory for him and Charlie and that's what he latched onto in the midst of his depression.

[@luvcannoli]

Oh wow I like that! One other interpretation for his fixation that I’ve heard is Lucifer sees himself as the “ugly duckling” story, the one duck who gets ostracized or separated from his family/pact. He also shows Charlie the duck turning into a swan, which is reminiscent of the ugly duckling story!

[@OutOfPocket-h9e]

The sad part was that both of them avoided each other thinking neither of them want to see each other.

[@tatsumisakamai5372]

Love the symbolism at 1:30 Lucifer’s face just says “ok here we go again” but the next scene, when the spears are aimed at Charlie, that’s fear. He’s fine with himself being the target because, as Adam points out, most hated being in all of creation Lucifer, he’s used to it.

[@ukihakasmikaze8778]

T3T

[@takeshiair]

i feel like for lucifer he feels like charlie will fail because he didnt have that support to fall back on when he went to heaven about his dreams and doesnt want charlie to fail like him not realizing that she doesnt just have vaggie but the rest of the hotel even freaking alastor (in his own alastor way) are there for her to fall on as her support and he doesnt really realize this until this song until the climax of this song where we see that spark come back into his eyes with hope something that he didnt really have for so long and that even if it fails he'll be there to support her when they reconnect at the end

[@AndragonLea]

I'm pretty sure the reason he's so obsessed with ducks is in that very flashback scene they show during the song: it's one of his last memories where all three of them were together and where he saw his creativity spark joy in the eyes of his beloved daughter. His experience with the damned souls caused him to be bitter and withdrawn, but something in him still yearned for those better days and he kind of got obsessed with it, I guess.

[@G128_cz]

the duck thing most people think is because before Lilith took Charlie from Lucifer, Charlie was smiling at the duck Lucifer made with magic so I guess coping with his depression through reminder of a happy memory

[@ReelPodcasts]

I love that the sin of pride is prideful of his daughter. Another VivziePop twist on beneficial perspectives of the sins.

[@robando2922]

You can be prideful of things but it's when you pride yourself over other things, that's the sin right there. Lucifier thought himself better than God and everything else. So I don't see the beneficial twist 😅

[@edwardburnett8718]

@@robando2922well, perspectives are like butts….. not everyone’s the same.

[@robando2922]

@edwardburnett8718 Well sure, but there's also object reality 🤔 🤷‍♂️

[@Solitudevv]

@@robando2922 You're talking about mythology and religion though, can't call that object reality. You can twist it in any way you want, especially with creative writing.

[@robando2922]

@Solitudevv What I mean is there is what is stated in the source material and then there is an artistic interpretation. No one should be going into this show thinking it's the gospel lol

[@yastery8715]

In fact, Lucifer is obsessed with ducks because he sees himself as an ugly duckling who could become a swan (the video showed how a duck turns into a six-winged swan)

[@LilyLawrence-c9z]

Nah this brought back memories of me and my dad. I actually teared up HELP- ✋

[@seikochan677]

This song makes me miss my dad, hes been gone for almost 2 years in august. I love this song

[@mikleman996]

i put off watching Hazbin, watched it a few days ago and shit i wish i watched it sooner... so much fun and the music is amazing.

[@SasuNaruL0vR80]

this one hit hard for me. I was 22 when I had my first real relationship and, unfortunately, I was too naïve to realize I was being brainwashed by my partner. I was telling off my parents (especially my dad), I moved in with my partner against my parents' wishes, my dad and I would shout and scream at each other (each of us having a time where we restrained ourselves from coming to blows just seconds before one was thrown!), and the relationship between us was ripped away. we had been very close up until then (ironically, just like Charlie, my dad would read me stories that completely enthralled me with imagination). it was 6 YEARS until I realized that I had been nothing but a cash register to my partner and was back in touch with my parents. so hearing "all that I am hopin' now that my eyes are open is that we can start again not be pulled apart again" brought me to tears. then when I showed it to my dad, we were both in tears but we both love it, so much so that we made the song each other's ringtones lol ❤ I'm even starting to play acoustic guitar with him to cover it sometime ❤

[@soviettoaster_9323]

Who left this bowl on onions bro..? 😭

[@ravenhurst96]

This song got me when I first heard it. My parents divorced when I was 3, and my brother and I were raised by our mom in California while Dad stayed in Minnesota. We only ever got to see him during the summer, but whenever we did, he treated us more like friends than his actual kids. He didn't really know how to parent us and, while we absolutely love both of our parents, Dad kinda felt like a stranger to us. That's not to say he didn't try or that there was any lack of effort on his part. He used to take us camping all the time and we were always going on little trips with him throughout the Twin Cities to places we had never been. He always made those special trips feel like little adventures, but he would always stand back and watch us. He would only engage with us whenever we approached him like he wasn't sure how to talk to us. Eventually, a few years after I graduated, I moved in with Dad and lived in Minnesota for a few years and we were able to get to know each other a little better. My dad suffers from depression as a result of the divorce as well as my brother and I being taken from him. He felt like he missed out on being a father to us, but he was grateful that I was more than willing to give him that chance again. For almost four years, we spent time together, even after I got my own place. We would go on bike trails, he would visit me at work, I would spend weekends with him sharing a couple beers and talking about our day while listening to Led Zeppelin or othe music my dad enjoyed. So, yeah, this song made me think of him and cry the first time I heard it. It's been over a year since I moved back to California. I miss him so much, but I'm hoping to see him again soon.

[@MCRxfan20]

I had a similar situation, except my parents were never married. Dad was always a long car ride away so my sister and I only saw him in the summer and every other Christmas, and I remember like 2 birthdays. We both also moved in with him in NY for a while, though my sister stayed longer. Anyway it's nice to know that someone else had this experience and also got emotional from this song. Just goes to show how much feeling they put in it.

[@ravenhurst96]

@@MCRxfan20 Growing up in a situation where your parents are separated for whatever reason can really have an impact on the child or children involved. But, it is important to remember that there are others who can relate to you about similar situations. It makes it seem less lonely, in my opinion.

[@neolithiumproduction]

For me relating to Lucifer, its cause I went through depression myself. I know what that was like...pushing away the people you love because you believe your a burden not worth their time and love. So seeing the struggle Lucifer was dealing with while still holding so much raw love for his daughter...Just endeared me to him instantly.

[@pyrodoll7137]

parents feel this song so hard (especially our generation of parents who have all the trauma from OUR parents.) the love, the gratitude, the quality of the song, the openness, the vulnerability.... THIS HITS SO HARD for us

[@pyrodoll7137]

I'm a parent with a challenged child, my son has spent the last few years struggling with his mental health and I've had to fight whole systems to keep him safe. He's faltered, we've faltered, it's been a dark struggle. We're now FINALLY working towards him moving home and so when I hear "i've beed dying to find out who you are" that's where and who I am as a mom right now. "in the end you are part of who I am" is such an impactful line, hell, the whole song is so impactful.

[@Golden_Pawz]

Lucifer is a great dad, he just doesn't know how.

[@voydcat8089]

“Loser Baby” is my favorite, but this is a VERY close second.

[@Astrocritical]

This song is my favorite and it touches me in a way that I cannot relate to; I don't have a good relationship with my father, he isn't around, and doesn't care unless it benefits him. So I love media like this because it brings me feelings of joy I wish I could have myself. I love father figures and I love the reconcilement here. It touches me and makes me feel good.

[@torchhead1643]

This is one of those songs for me that I started with feeling mixed about it, just to end up loving it.

[@matiascarvajal7367]

I read a theory relate it to that, It seems that Lucifer see itself as the ugly duck of the heaven, cuz the other angel made it feel like that.

[@catislife2368]

2:20 Ducks because depression

[@kclovelypinky8561]

I cried to this song because it reminds me how close I am with my dad and how lucky I was to have that bond despite my parents divorcing each other when i was in 4th grade and experiencing traumatizing situations they both were in with concent fighting and eventual separation

[@Capybarainahumansuit]

I love this song

[@nathanculjak1842]

When I listened to this song, I was literally struck with awe, and I start bursting into tears. It's songs like this that helps us connect with those who we can relate to and make us feel human.

[@TheKnightPatriot]

Lucifer is Heaven’s “ugly duckling,” hence the rubber ducks.

[@ratboycolter3172]

As someone with shitty parents, this song hits so hard

[@toddlacroix8992]

This one actually hurt me, and im not that type of person who gets emotional at a song but i can relate sort of to this song a little but in a different way, instead of a father and daughter way, a son and father way and i felt the same exact way cuz for my 18 years of living I barely knew my father and i never lived with my parents just my aunt and uncle from 2005 and still living with them now in 2024 as we speak With knowing who he is and hearing this, yk it brought difficult times in my life with struggling to even find out who my father really is. And ngl i thought the people who i been living with all this time were my parents but they weren't...

[@Brook_8115]

nah frfr, it brought me back to me and my dad's relationship lmao

[@casinman8730]

Gah, love this song so much. Its so good, from the harmonies to the message. Definitely get hit with those feels with every listen too, especially in the part where Lucifer hugs Charlie or when they say they're grateful for each other. Very cathartic

[@Nick.11]

I wonder if that flashback we see is Lucifer dreaming about animals making it into heaven just like humans? 'cause we see a regular duck go from swimming around to flying with beautiful wings amongst the stars

[@cyberwolf_1013]

Maybe. A lot of people are thinking it's the story of the Ugly Duckling and Lucifer is the duck who will turn into a swan.

[@Piriguin_aweoneke]

I cried big time as someone who never let herself cry at the fact my dad abandoned my mom when she got pregnant. Everything was silent at my room when the song ended and my sister looks at me like "that was such a nice song-- WHAT HAPPENED?", My face was literally drowned in tears 😂

[@tattedsithgaming]

So, it for me as a song furthers that sense of protection for those I love. I relate to Lucifer on different levels, including having everyone turn their back on me at a point in my life that I gave almost. But now I have certain people in my life that I could not bare to see those things happen them. So, this song hits hard. Love your videos man, dont ever apologize for taking the time to stop the video to tell us how you relate to the lyrics. Keep it up

[@pluviasalutor1290]

I recently just got around to watching all of Hazbin Hotel. And this song made me tear up when I heard it.

[@pie1o1morris46]

Jeremy Jordan (the VA for Lucifer) has /such/ a beautiful voice ❤ He also voices a character named Varian in Tangled the series, which, if you haven't yet I highly recommend checking out some of the songs from it. Favorite ones that specifically have Jeremy Jordan are "Let Me Make You Proud," "Ready as I'll Ever Be" and "Nothing Left to Lose"

[@endearmentthedoe1191]

Your face was literally mine every time I heard this song. It hits the feels so hard 😭

[@OfPeaceMind]

This song hits me so hard. I never had a stable father figure in my life. All of them; dad, stepdad, grandfather; basically abandoned me. A father’s love was all I wanted. I cry every time I hear this because I know it’s something that I never got to experience. I also cry because I know that the man I’m marrying will be the most amazing father. He holds and shelters my heart and is the light in my life that I needed when I couldn’t see through all the darkness. He’s my lighthouse and I know that one day he will be the same to our children.

[@leonthedane4467]

What i understand: the swan he showed her was a picture of a normal swan and thenhis vision for life, cosmic beautifall creatures flying through the cosmos. Also in 37 year old man, vi kids, but I could feel it all, for a moment i was a father, sounds crazy.

[@DrenoshGaming]

I love this song so much, can't stop singing it XD.

[@shaunwilson-fu6hy]

I have daughters myself. There has been time when there mother has tried to make me out to be a monster and they are now older and they see me for me and we spend more happy times together then we could because of there mother. This song my daughter shown this song for the first time and I had tears for it because my daughter sang it to me. I spent hours learning it so when she started singing in the living room I could sing it with her and for her and her sisters with my arms around them🥺

[@drow_Lilith9940]

this song hit me so hard beacuse me and my dad was never close he was not bad dad or anything but we jus never clicked but aftrer i come out as trans woman so far he only persin my famliy to even care to use my new name even if just when we are alone on drives

[@autisticgummybear]

I cant see my daughter, my ex keeps me on a leash and dangles her over mh head. This song is my song to her. Hoping she understands daddy loves her more than anything. Hoping she understands her daddy wants her more than anything, needs her, loves her, adores her more than anything. I cry, scream, and yet i cant stop listening. I see her grow through images. Wanting her in my arms more than anything. I miss my baby girl, ive missed her potty training, her first pageant, her third birthday. The pain knowing that the one thing on this planet keeping me alive is being dangled over my head just out of reach is a pain i hope none of you ever feel.

[@justincrotts]

This song is so good and beautiful that every time I hear it it makes feel like I want nothing but the best for my children and hope they succeed in everything they do and I don’t even have any children

[@denyasandovalcampbell8603]

Idk if this was cannon but a theory about the ducks that i liked was. When luci was still in heaven they didnt let him touch earth while it was being created. However, because he was so insistent they finally let him make 1 thing and the thing he made were ducks. Now he just makes them so he can feel happy like back when he first made them. 2:17

[@Devonshirejackdaw]

I think ducks represent happiness. Merternal instincts. Connections and trust 😊

[@Fallen69-69]

A famous theory is that he loves ducks because he sees himself as the ugly duckling

[@ArdyceOliver]

[@cyberwolf_1013]

I bawled for a week after hearing this song. Literally, I couldn't listen to it without crying. On my bad days, even now, I will start tearing up. Most people I've heard react or talk about this song have come at it from Charlie's side, the child reconnecting with a parent. I'm opposite. I look at it from Lucifer's side. It's why I connect so hard with him in this show. A parent, who tried to do something great, failed miserably, and is punished for eternity. Sunk into depression and doesn't want to place that burden on anyone else to deal with and so self isolates. Yeah, me.
