      bawl* Unless you want to have a ball...(If you don't know what 'having a ball' means, first off, it means having a lot of fun, second off, how do you not know?!)

    • @michaelhenderson5074

      But it'd makes no sense. Ball has different meanings, but I'm pretty sure he meant "bawl" as in to cry excessively. Either way, the song is beautiful!

  • @hesticahyayustika7680
    @hesticahyayustika7680 7 лет назад +34

    No reverb effect, it's his natural voice. You should see his mv behind the scene where he plays the piano and softly sings without microphone. Yes, his singing voice and speaking voice is totally different.

    Never heard this before until Merrick Hanna danced to this song on America got talent, and he did a perfect performance. So it brought me here to this page to say you are so talented and u created such a beautiful song, great job young man. The best part of it is that I understood every word and it made sense, comparing to most songs that we hear today, this song is like a breath of fresh air keep up the good work.

    I'm just curious with the message of the song. It's so emotional, and I like it. Is it really about his robot or it's a metaphor? Hehe

    • @bethanylanning9985
      @bethanylanning9985 7 лет назад +4

      Raleigh Ojanola its actually about a robot. but theres a video he made on how he made the song, so if you wanna check that out to understand it more?

    • @zacdavid184
      @zacdavid184 7 лет назад +16

      It is both literally about a boy building a robot for a friend, and symbolically about growing up and moving on from our childhood friends and passions.

    • @squashedchiffon236
      @squashedchiffon236 6 лет назад +13

      Raleigh Ojanola It’s about his REAL best friend, and when he goes to college his best friend feels forgotten, so he commented suicide

    • @TheCarterSlade
      @TheCarterSlade 6 лет назад +10

      He explains in a video but it’s about how he makes a friend or a robot and they spend a lot of time together doing a lot of fun things until he has to leave behind his friend to go to college and they are sad but when he is graduating he meets a girl and forgets about his friend and when he comes back to visit there’s a suicidal note and he find him dead or short circuited on the ground becuase his friend wasn’t there to help him through hard times it’s a really sad story

    • @TheRealDjOnTop
      @TheRealDjOnTop 3 года назад +1

      It’s about instability. The robot killer himself.
