I only just realised it is "please stop thinking, this is happy" and not "please stop thinking this is happy". That one comma completely vhanges the meaning of that sentence and a big pivotal point in the song
people constantly talk about Joe’s metaphors and poetry, yet Andrew casually has a line where a single comma changes the entire meaning of the song. Lyrical genius.
Observation: the "please stop thinking" line ties directly into Misery Fell's theme of how people who don't think about deep religious and philosophical concepts are happier than those who do
as someone who read all of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy books, when it said listening to painted whispers light on top forgotten hill, I thought of the part where they find God’s last message to humans written in fire on a hill, where Marvin dies
Nice video and an interesting take on the song! I always interpreted it as being a sad song about chasing that feeling of happiness doing many things like becoming the president of the USA as the most clear example from the song, and still not ever able to reach the happiness he is chasing till he finally is at the end of his life where he is about to find something but he is already gone. It’s always interesting to see how different people interpret the same song :D.
Great analysis!! There was one part of the video that really caught my attention: At the end when you say "Marvin, if you're watching this, I wish you all the best." Marvin Yagoda is dead, so I think Tal might be speaking to anyone who's going through the same thing as the Marvin in the song. That's how I interpreted that at least ^^ Keep up the great work, I love your videos as always!!
not to toot my own horn, but here’s a fun fact: i’m the pinned comment on the most popular upload of the taken for a ride music video but anyways, nice analysis as always, tal! i always love it when you upload because your interpretations of these songs are always so great. :)
What this song is vasucally: “Don’t focus too much on things. You may not be in the best state but it’s ok to always do things that spark of feeling a form of happiness. You don’t have to do something world changing to make yourself feel content and satisfied. The simplest things like doing chores can liy up that spark. It takes time but soon you will get out of the state. The number one thing to you is doing what makes you happy 😊
There was always something so... emotional to this song that i couldn't quite put my finger on, it felt hopeless the first time i heard it, it made me think of a world were happiness was nothing more than a mirage, a world where everyone followed the footsteps left by man, not even knowing how they were left there in the first place, it made me think of earth. This is a song about the world we live in. But then, i began to think more about it, somehow, despite what i had thought about it, it made me... happy, it seemed so irrational, being happy listening to a song about how happiness is a mirage, but that idea felt wrong as well, happiness isn't a mirage, of that i was certain, and this is a song about the world we live in. So I kept thinking about the lyrics, I kept living my life as well, doing my chores, and feeling happy doing them, this period of my life has definitely taken me for a ride, I have grown, I have helped others grow, I realized that it's those little moments of effort which make life happy, and I realized something I knew, but didn't comprehend from the very beggining: This is a song about the world we live in.
i think there is a meaning to crazy food, its about making music. Especially on the joe hawley joe hawley album due to its use of illegal samples. the food is representing all of these different samples, which is why the style of music varies. i get this theory from the line “handing ample-samples out to non-customers.” stuff after that tells how the musician is a “punk” and “thinks hes superman”. thinking he has created a masterpiece thats stolen. the reason in the music video why the musician is poor and has a finger girlfriend is because that person is poor, and a critic. instead of enjoying the music and going with the flow. He complains and nobody will hire him because they think he’s annoying and ignorant. which tells a lot about life on how you should deal with others, share your thoughts, and leave a like!
I interpreted Marvin as a machine who wasn’t sure if he was happy cause he wasn’t sure if he had the capacity to feel. I don’t really know why I thought that, maybe cause an elevator talks to him but I don’t know
you should do spring and a storm next it was really fun for me to try and put together my theory for that song and i wanna see if you come to the same conclusion ill put my theories on the song under just incase you dont want outside opinion or whtv my interpretation is that its a story of a band making it in the music industry and their humble beginnings i also think this because i think mr moon is a version of the trope of getting mentored by someone who knows about the industry, most of the things he talks abt in his section can replace the sky with the industry and still make sense, like people losing themselves slowly (/dying) for whatevr the fans want. again just my interpretation but i think it fits quite well in a couple places of the song
I really want you to cover the album "They're Going To Take Me Away Ha-Haa" by Napoleon XIV. I haven't been hearing anyone talk about it and I would love you hear your take the the album's message
I am very happy
Ok sir
this is happy
i am too ❤
That makes one of us
Same.

wait it’s not that??? my entire viewpoint on that song has changed holy moly
And with that comma, it changes from "Please stop thinking this is happy" to "Please stop thinking, this IS happy."
omg hitchhikers guide to the galaxy holy heck that's like a Taken For a Ride reference because they're looking for life's purpose 🤯🤯

0:31 I FIRST THOUGHT THE SONG WAS ABOUT MARVIN FROM HITCHHIKERS GUIDE BECAUSE OF THE ROBOT VOICE LOL
i also thought that but it was more about the idea of lack of happiness
very happeh, maybe even more happeh
this makes more since, but i originally thought it was about these 2 things
1: a relationship ending with a lover
2: andrew kidnapping someone
hitchhikers guide to the galaxy mention 🔥
Most threatening thumbnail I've ever seen, Tal
are you happy !?!? YOU SHOULD BE…🤬 grrrrr
BE HAPPY BE HAPPY GRRRRRRRRGRRGRGRRR BE HAPP
ikr I was like “is this a threat”
YOU *NEED* TO BE FREAKING HAPPY, *_NOW_*
As someone who did an anaylsis of this song like two years ago
Yeah this is like ten times better
Tally Hall and Hitchhikers Guide in one video!?!?
I LOVE HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY!!!!

oh, my gosh your fussing right, dang
I love these videos because it gives me an entirely new perspective and experience when I'm listening to the song

wowzers!!! :3 taken for a ride actually always makes me so happy!!!!
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
Random fact my mom’s friend (wife) accidentally removed someone’s taillight with her car while listening to the song
She’s fine, her car’s fine
Joe, famous Curb-Hopper, would probably be proud that a Tally Hall song soundtracked a moment like that

Especially on the joe hawley joe hawley album due to its use of illegal samples. the food is representing all of these different samples, which is why the style of music varies. i get this theory from the line “handing ample-samples out to non-customers.” stuff after that tells how the musician is a “punk” and “thinks hes superman”. thinking he has created a masterpiece thats stolen. the reason in the music video why the musician is poor and has a finger girlfriend is because that person is poor, and a critic. instead of enjoying the music and going with the flow.

"this is the happiness and peace of mind committee" sounding ahh title and thumbnail
Marvin is the embodiment of the meme with the guy who’s crying behind a mask
I am very happy when I see a new Tally Ball video
Dang, I love your style and explanations. Thanks for great videos, they really make some feel understood and normal👌
I interpreted Marvin as a machine who wasn’t sure if he was happy cause he wasn’t sure if he had the capacity to feel. I don’t really know why I thought that, maybe cause an elevator talks to him but I don’t know
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
BABE WAKE UP TAL POSTED!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
BUT HEY , THATS JUSTS A THEORY , A TALLY THEORY
Thanks for watching
Finally, he did my fav tally hall song
the robot is also an inspiration for another song made by a different and arguably more popular band.
Dang… I always thought it was always about depression. So many people say that Marvin is just depressed, and isn’t trying to be happy.
ALRIGHT WHO'S READY FOR THE MIND ELECTRIC?
Whenever Tal uploads, I'm always happy!
I always saw the chemistry is gone as a lack of loving something that you used to but not anymore, but i like this interpretation better.
0:28 RADIOHEAD REFERENCE?
MARVIN THE PARANOID ANDROID?
he’s a not ok computer 😔
i just woke up this is probably the most threatening youtube recommendation ive ever gotten what the freak

BAE WAKE UP TALKY BALL UPLOADED A NEW VIDEOO
you should do spring and a storm next it was really fun for me to try and put together my theory for that song and i wanna see if you come to the same conclusion ill put my theories on the song under just incase you dont want outside opinion or whtv
my interpretation is that its a story of a band making it in the music industry and their humble beginnings i also think this because i think mr moon is a version of the trope of getting mentored by someone who knows about the industry, most of the things he talks abt in his section can replace the sky with the industry and still make sense, like people losing themselves slowly (/dying) for whatevr the fans want.
again just my interpretation but i think it fits quite well in a couple places of the song
CHONNY CHARMING CHAO-
