When he reaches the chorus it’s ridiculous how it feels inside my stomach. Like I feel instant crippling depression and euphoria at the same time? And then it goes away after a few seconds.. what a feeling. Especially the impact when he said “it’s youuuu I watch TV with” idk it’s ridiculous how some sounds can make me feel such a powerful emotion.

I love this song, but it's not within my range. Even if I go up an octave, it's still not comfortable to sing. I end up have to switch octaves several times, and it never sounds good. If only I had a wider range...

Dengerin saat lu lagi banyak masalah terus cari tempat buat sendirian kalo bisa ditempat yang menurut lu paling nyaman gunain headset terus sambil menatap ke arah langit dan sambil bilang ke diri sendiri kalo lu itu kuat menghadapi masalah sesulit apapun. Dan untuk kalian yang sedang menjalani masalah terberat dalam hidup jangan patah semangat ya.. Kamu gak sendirian kita sama kok :')

[@Neo_9000]

I think I love the audio from this recording more than the official one. Don't get me wrong the original is still great and has this amazing theatrical and impactful feel, but something about this one - the raw, unaltered power of both his playing and singing - just feels so intense and flooded with emotion. Like when you're finally alone and can destress after a long week of being dragged around to help with a million different things, you finally have the freedom to just get everything out of your system that you've been holding in and keeping you tense. It feels so natural and real, and I hadn't realized you can't find much music like this that's able to replicate such a deep connection to raw human emotion. Thank you for uploading this wonderful gem and giving Matt more exposure of his genius and creativity 💙

[@justicecruz4547]

I wrote some (I guess) short stories to help me vent to this song. (Possible tw) 1. You and someone important too you lay next to eachother in an open field. The radio starts playing this song barely loud enough to hear over the shouting. The field slowly starts to surround in flames as you and (their name) stare at the night sky as the firelight starts to form around you. You hold hands and close your eyes as the fire caves in. (Possible tw to guns, shooting, etc.) 2. (2021)You’re on your balcony watching people below you. Theirs fights, riots, shooting. The world isn’t what you remember. You just want 2016 back. The government doesn’t care, hospitals are overcrowded, people are dying and theirs nothing you can do about it. The world will collapse all because we can’t set aside our differences. You hear a final bang. Everything stops as you start to fall. The world turns black. 3. You and your best friend are slowly drifting apart. They hang out with other people, and you’re being ignored. They finally tell you they don’t want to be friends anymore. Memories flood your mind as she starts to walk away. It feels like the world is ending. If you wanna vent in the replies you can :) Oh, and tell me what story you like
