I'm not lonely. I just work for the government. If I interfere with the people, they would cheat with their wives or he will and there will be less murdering and women getting their drinks spiked and getting assaulted no Child Trafficking or adults praying on small children
Really captures how our loneliness and anxiety takes control of us but we don't want that, yet we try and capture those moments of joy that other people have
I get what you mean... there's value in art that tells a story without a clean bookend which promises a happy ending. Which is to say I'm kind of sorry for the continuations I've made to this story in my other videos 😅
@@nitonoh I think they mean as in this isolated animation! It conveys a specific feeling and tone here, even if further animations progress the story away from it, this still exists as it is and in a beautiful way. It's like life, things progress and change, in this video there is loneliness and it's not a quick or easy fix, but in future videos, well. Things happen, and change, and progress. There's no easy bow tie to happiness, and this animation doesn't try to make it appear as so, but most people don't stay trapped in that rut either.
This video really makes me feel better. It feels and sounds happy yet the lyrics are slightly depressing, its like the perfect mix of satisfaction and yearning. Like not knowing what exactly you want but knowing you want something and even if your happy in the moment there’s always that moment when it ends and your back to that missing feeling. This is a really nice video that feels like getting a long awaited hug, Thank you 🥩
As the sort of aromantic introvert that can go weeks without face-to-face human contact, this kinda defines my dilemma. Honestly, my greatest fear is that I AM capable of love, I just haven't found that Special Someone to awaken it.
The song also hits hard for me as an aroace introvert. I am able to survive multiple days with minimal face-to-face human contact. I feel generally satisfied with my life besides the butt load of work I have, but something severely missing is friends. I stay awake at night and sleep in during the day as an attempt to prolong my relaxing, peaceful night.
I love the image at 0:18, the positioning of the mime, and direction the camera is coming in towards them with the empty watercolor bright background and the dark full of life foreground works so well
RUclips recommended me this song a couple of months ago. I’m so glad to have found this in my recommended; the lineless style reminiscent of old French landscape artists and the subtle animation are just SUBLIME. The music and visuals just fit so damn well together to present self isolation and loneliness in a way words can’t describe. I can’t imagine how long this must have taken; AMAZING WORK!! 🫶💕
The comfort and certainty from intentionally isolating myself is too strong to even feel like doing the opposite, its even worse if you do actually find happiness in loneliness
Not really. Finding happines in loneliness is better than being angry, sad an frustrated because you are in a horrible relationship, or being sad and lonely. Being happy, if you are not hurting anyone, is what matters. Well, at least is what this new generation says all the time.
Solitude isn't harmful in itself, it can even heal you in a way. It helps you to discover yourself, your flaws, your strengths and a great time for some self-reflection. Prolonged isolation in the other hand, is harmful along with anti-social tendencies. However, if you're ASOCIAL in nature, then it's fine. You'll naturally find yourself wanting social interaction eventually which is a good thing.
I love the art on this piece. Like at 2:03, how even though it's heavily stylized, you can tell exactly what it's meant to depict - the out of focus lights of a city skyline at night.
I'm amazed by this hitting 100,000. I'm not going to take a large amount of credit for the attention, because this video would never have existed without the music behind it. Thank you sincerely though for liking my work. I'll start by saying that I don't really deserve this. The only thing I've ever been somewhat good at has been art. Even then I'm not very good, specifically in my productivity, and I always intended this channel to simply be a place to archive my projects. I suppose I should be glad that the things I create can bring some good to people's lives, even if I didn't intend for it.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for sharing your incredible work. It has deeply touched me (I've felt like this before, so I can relate to both the song and the art) and I'm sure it also had an impact on others. I really like your artstyle btw. It can be hard to see the value in your own work and to struggle with feelings of self-worth, I've been there too. But know that what you create is meaningful. Your art has a unique beauty that goes beyond technical skill, it carries emotion and authenticity, which is something truly special. I recognize that it takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable and honest about your struggles. If ever you feel overwhelmed, please consider reaching out to someone you trust or a professional. You deserve support and kindness, just as much as anyone else. Your message at the end is touching and I hope you can extend that same compassion to yourself. I hope only the best for you, even if I don't know you personally. Take care!
Hey, dont be harsh on yourself, i know the struggle to a imaculate person today is real, but thats just not real, none of this is real, is created by your experiences and people around you, but dont let them take your soul away, doing your best is all that it takes, and if someone doesent believe in you, find people who do, is hard today, but not impossible. Anyway, your work is amazing, you can feel every bit of emotion you put into this, and thats more than majority of artist do this days, be proud of yourself, you are wonderfull
From someone that's down the same road, you're doing fine. The whole thing is difficult, for some more than others, but you're talented, and you keep in touch with your emotional self. That's worth a lot, I think. Idk, I'm just giving advices I don't follow myself. I have this (probably harmful) thought that to be a good artist you have to be fuc*ed up somehow, tortured artist and all that. It's likely just something I say to feel better about my shortcomings, but, being the way that you are is what led you to make the art that you make. I have a hard time being proud of myself, but I try to be proud of the art I make at least. I hope you're proud of the art you make as well because it's really nice.
Thank you very much mate. And to you as well. You shouldn't be so harsh on yourself y'know. You are a much better person than you think you are and are deserving of love. There are people out there in your life that love you lots and don't think you let them down in the slightest. And you will most likely meet new people who would care lots about you too. At the very least you got all of us down here in the comments cheering you on. 😁😁 Anyways take care of yourself.
I've been through this pseudo-depression. In the end I realized life is about doing what you want, and in reality while I desired for friendships and love I never actually wanted to put in the effort to get any of those things. My feeling of desire was not one of actual desire, it was a feeling of jealousy and envy and a feeling of missing out. In truth I never desired to be in those friendships, I was just scared of missing out on things I felt everyone else were experiencing, and so jealous that they had the lives and friendships and experiences that I wanted, while in reality if I were them and if I were given all those things I thought I desired, in the end it wouldn't work out and I would give up on all of it, because it wasn't what I really wanted, it was what I thought I wanted, because I was scared. I'm not scared anymore. I'm happy and alone. And maybe someday I'll talk, and it won't be so silent anymore.
Thank you for this comment. I relate to this so much! When people try to talk to me, I am just so tired or just can't be bothered to respond. I very much relate to feeling that I might be missing out on those things in life, but then again there are endless things that we don't even know that we are missing out on. Hence, I am going to just be who I am currently am without necessarily forcing myself to change or conform to something that I don't really necessarily need in my life. ❤
I wish it could happen to me too. Seeing a bunch of people have fun while having no good friends by your side makes the feeling of loneliness so much stronger. I wish everyone had friends they can count on and have fun with
I haven't been able to get this out of my head since I saw it. The song is really haunting in its accuracy. Seeing all the human connection you're missing out on can make it tempting to "close the door", IE to shut out reality and cocoon yourself in coping mechanisms, hoping that eventually you will adjust to permanent night and become blissfully ignorant of what you're missing. The animation goes well with it, particularly the idea of a mime - surrounded by people but unable to speak, separated from them by an invisible box. I hope things get better for all of us.
This goes right into my “favorites” playlist. I love your art style - it’s simplicity and nice colors and character design make it cute and sad at the same time which perfectly fits the song
I'm an introvert, but I'm really good at socializing. Many people have this odd assumption that being good at socializing means that you're an extrovert, and if you're an introvert, you're automatically shy. But, shyness is fear of others, introversion is merely getting socially exhausted after a while. I am a great conversationalist, and I can be very animated and be the center of the party, but after that, I need to basically vegetate in my bed for a good week before I can come out and do it again lol
yes i hate this stereotype sm. I’d say i’m an ambivert more extroverted (this can obviously differ) but I’m severely anxious when around other people for completely separate reasons. As I do think shyness comes into whether someone is introvert, extroverted or both into some sense it isn’t as black and white as it seems.
I've been feeling a bit... out of my mind recently. This describes what I've been feeling a bit well, though not precisely. I do not feel like I can relate to anyone in my life, and I'm scared that all it takes is to try to open up to others because I have tried and failed so many times to open up to everyone in my life. Now all I do is wait for people to open up themselves and then go around their sense instead of having to burden them with my specific sense of self. It is not like I have anything interesting to personally share with others anyway, especially considering the type of person I am inside and how I need to hide that person anyway or risk being sent off to an insane asylum. At least I'm slowly starting to forget about what my less-healthy side is like, that will be a temporary good riddance even though I know it will come back like it always does.
I feel ya. I don't really have any advice besides trying to open yourself a little bit each time you have the chance, and maybe you'll find out that other people are willing to listen, or maybe not. I still bottle all my feelings to an unhealthy degree, but since i started doing this, each time i do it the weight on my chest gets just that little bit lighter.
idk what this is really about. But to me it resonates with my fear of relationships, I spent like a year or more closing the door to everyone that got close, often self-destructing the few relationships I did have because I was so comfortable being lonely. It took a while for me to realize the kind of jail I had entrapped myself in and I never figured out what exactly made me this way but I think it might been that I felt abandoned by everyone I met and liked after the year 2020, everyone just stopped talking to me, even online friends.
what a cool artstyle! also it makes me feel a bit more at peace, knowing someone out there also knows the feeling of loneliness. Ironically, it makes me feel like I'm not alone. Thank you for making this
one of the most comforting videos ive come across as of late, this perfectly describes so many feelings of anxiety and monotony its insane absolutely lovely, i really needed this, thank you so much
@@necrotafeio idk, i just feel alone and like im confused if im the only person who feels that way, cause others make social interaction look so easy :(
Heart wrenching. It's honestly relatable and beautiful at the same time. I try bringing myself out there yet it feels like no one likes me while I have so many friends. I shouldn't feel lonely but everything just seems so fake, I wish I wasn't lonely. I wish it could happen to me.
When I discovered this song in 2021 around the early days of enjoying music, the most surprising part about this entire song is that it sounds so modern, yet was made in 1969
This song sounds like it could've been made in 2010s or even 2020s. The fact that it's actually from the time when my grandparents were still teenagers is so bizzare
thank you for reminding me that im not alone struggling in this darkness sad not knowing why not knowing what's missing the void in my soul was filled for a second
Always nice to see people remember this song. One of my favourites of theirs. Helps that this accompanying animation is extremely charming and fitting as well.
For someone who has difficulty in expressing themselves and hard to tell what's to wrong (not that i have anyone to tell what's wrong), I must confess, I don't know who you are but you've captured exactly what I've been trying so hard to convey but never hit the mark. Thanks.
WAAAGH your artstyle is so pretty 🥹🥹 i love how you composed this storyboard!! it's so lovely!! i can't wait for what's in your works bc this is so good!! you're an inspiration because this style is definitely my cup of tea 😭
this is genuinely the most pleasing animation to watch ive ever seen. the colours, composition and artstyle look so fucking good its insane i really do hope that things better for you, you are VERY talented!
I felt this many times over. I wish everyone the best and push for not making a bunch of friends, but for the few who'll get you, and the you Who'll get them, and everything happening in the middle. this little animation really portrayed your feelings well. really used the song as an instrument for the melody of your feelings. No clue what I said ^ but we got this people
I listened to this song the other day in the radio but I never expected to exist an animatic using it and I never knew the meaning was that sad. You just gained a new sub! The style’s super cute~ By the way, the song’s called “After Hours” by The Velvet Underground!
I feel bad for saying this, but im glad im not the only one who feels this way/whos life is going like this. I wish we all together could just accept that we will never be the people who dance, and move on. Would be so much happier if I could just accept that im not made to be liked
I thank the algorithm for bringing me this video. And even more, I thank you for making it. This combination of song and animation perfectly expresses how I've felt the past year. It's sad but also comforting to see others in a similar boat. ❤
Took me about a month to gather the courage to watch this masterpiece!! I thought it'd hit too close too home and get me crying. Heh, glad it didn't, brought a happysad smile instead. Thank you
I love this vid so much. Not only is the animation awesome but it brings me comfort to know that I’m not the only one that has this feeling of being lost in this hard to understand world. Thanks so much for making it!!!!
I've closed that door for an eternity, and it might as well stay that way. Thank you, a truly beautiful animation and song. Love it. 120/10. Couldn't have done it better.
As a dumb NEET with anxiety this animation is really relatable and makes me feel better, thank you. Also good job with the animation in general i have been wanting to get into drawing recently so it’s inspiring.
This might genuinely be the coolest thing I've seen all year, the music choice is spot on, but much more than that, your way of storytelling is so unique and I really hope you continue posting your work
gosh i know you wont see this, but i love your art style so so so much, the final shot of the animation is so well done and the atmosphere is unironically exactly what i look for when i think of something artistic that makes me feel emotional.
absolutely love the way the art encapsulates the whole feeling of the darkness inside the closed door blotting out everything. can't begin to explain how this made me feel, but amazing work nonetheless.
this is so well made and it hits vary close to home, but i think now it should be seen more as a cautionary tale, at least as someone who vary unexpectedly met one of the best people ever :) you dont always gotta shut people out
This came along, and it helped me feel seen. I'm quite introverted and enjoy most of my time alone in peace, but this week I've been lonely. My only friends all live far away, and I'm stuck living in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do. Thank you for making this animation. I feel a little less lonely now. Maybe it's time to pay my Animal Crossing villagers another visit.
Just happy that someone else (and a huge handful of others) share my experience and pain of loneliness. I hope things like this reach and touch the hearts of a wider audience so that the next generation will never feel as lonely.
it really hit me as if this song AND the animation expressed everything I wanted to express my entire life but I couldn’t because I couldn’t understand these feelings myself and this "birthday" shot (one w cake) with a lonely girl OH GOD it hit me even harder and then kicked me back
Great song and I love your art style, despite it's simplicity you are able to convey some deep emotions. Ngl actually teared up a lil bit watching this.
Aww, I feel like giving this little mime a hug. I can be her friend if she wants QuQ I also just love her design, the lil symbols on both her eyes, her green colored eyes and the small detail of her make-up smearing in the rain. I just love her and I hope she'll find happiness one way or another
this video hit incredibly close to home for me, it's been on the back of my mind for the past few days or so and every time it gets me really emotional thank you so much for your beautiful artwork
Beautiful art, reminds me if myself but with how ever out of place i feel and reminds me of how soft i am. I reminded how lonely asf i feel at times being/feeling like an involuntary social outcast.True art 10/10
wow... i found this video 2 days ago but left it on a tab and never really watched it until now, i must say you definitely will grow into a big channel, like you know how when you are feeling spicy, drinking too much water sometimes just make it worse, but if you give it time then when you are completely fine with the heat, you start to enjoy the taste instead. just like life, cant take the shortcut, you gotta take it slow, and surely you will achieve the dream. keep it up!!! and focus only on the qualities of your vids you'll grow in no time edits: i must say you got a talent on storytelling, you were lonely while making the vid and that feeling popped right into your art, your viewers are gonna feel the same way! honestly thats incredible
This definitely captures how ive been feeling last week perfectly. I had the worst stomachache for 2 days straight and it was really painful. Now that i think about it, i dont think this song actually captures the feeling. I would say "The ghost song" that plays in the game "It moves" captures the feeling more.
the subject matter of this video really, really stings for me, because i relate to this a lot. not in the romantic sense, since i’m aromantic, but love is still super important to me. thank you for making this video.
what a specific recommendation for a specific time while i'm sobbing and murmuring to my cats about a specific thing where are the spy cameras, big google
Wow, this made my day! "After Hours" has always been one of my very favorite songs, VU or otherwise, and it's amazing to see it so beautifully animated. Your sweetly melancholy illustrations and artstyle perfectly capture the vibe. Now do "I'm Sticking With You"! 😉😛🥰
I’ve been through this. The lyric “I wish it would happen to me” is very resonant, as you see it happening to people and dont know that they actually had to go out and make it happen, you just see the results. I’ve had to learn that the hard way, and it only gets more difficult to do as time passes.
I love this artstyle and it's just so beautiful that it feels like it would be perfect in an indie game with a small cult following and is somehow both comforting and a little disturbing at the same time
For 2 years I’ve just been feeling weird, or just lonely idk, like I had a friend who was probably my favorite person to talk to, but then I messed it all up, and it’s hard to even look at her without not feeling weird because she seemed to be my only friend who actually cared about me because of how similar we were, but now all my friends are extroverts, and it’s hard trying to fit in
Thanks for the new artist on my playlist. As someone who spent ~5 years in severe depression (and successfully came out of it), I think I can understand these feelings. All will pass. Life is like a falling dominoes. The most terrible things pass over time, the main thing is to push the smallest and first domino
Ok but I like how the use of a mime protagonist creates a metaphor of social problems being like being stuck in an invisible box.
I never even really thought about that... that's so apt
@@nitonoh sorry, what is apt?
@@figmilk Akin to being smart (in this case)
@@figmilk appropriate
@@nitonoh apt apt apt
this song captures the feeling of loneliness so accurately... great animation!
True. At some point you're just actively avoiding it and isolating yourself. Once you close those doors its quite hard to open them up again..
@@Kyumifunomg so real
I agree, as someone who chronically experiences this
@@Kyumifun Correct!
I'm not lonely. I just work for the government. If I interfere with the people, they would cheat with their wives or he will and there will be less murdering and women getting their drinks spiked and getting assaulted no Child Trafficking or adults praying on small children

Have you looked into demi-romanticism?

it basically is for a lot of these people
Don't matter who you are ain't nobody born into this world to be alone.

Sounds like copium
I'm a sucker for this art style.
I'm a sucker for cute mime girls
I wish it could happen to me too. Seeing a bunch of people have fun while having no good friends by your side makes the feeling of loneliness so much stronger. I wish everyone had friends they can count on and have fun with

I do not feel like I can relate to anyone in my life, and I'm scared that all it takes is to try to open up to others because I have tried and failed so many times to open up to everyone in my life. Now all I do is wait for people to open up themselves and then go around their sense instead of having to burden them with my specific sense of self. It is not like I have anything interesting to personally share with others anyway, especially considering the type of person I am inside and how I need to hide that person anyway or risk being sent off to an insane asylum. At least I'm slowly starting to forget about what my less-healthy side is like, that will be a temporary good riddance even though I know it will come back like it always does.
hey man I can relate to this comment a lot 🫂 we can get through this together
I feel ya. I don't really have any advice besides trying to open yourself a little bit each time you have the chance, and maybe you'll find out that other people are willing to listen, or maybe not. I still bottle all my feelings to an unhealthy degree, but since i started doing this, each time i do it the weight on my chest gets just that little bit lighter.

I pooped my pants :(
Lovely art style and all the shots are very beautiful, great job! Can't wait for the next one!
BRO MANU YOU HERE WTF??? LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN!!!
idk what this is really about. But to me it resonates with my fear of relationships, I spent like a year or more closing the door to everyone that got close, often self-destructing the few relationships I did have because I was so comfortable being lonely. It took a while for me to realize the kind of jail I had entrapped myself in and I never figured out what exactly made me this way but I think it might been that I felt abandoned by everyone I met and liked after the year 2020, everyone just stopped talking to me, even online friends.
@@SlurSlander I made this video with a specific message in mind, but it's always fascinating to see other people pull their own views from it
what a cool artstyle! also it makes me feel a bit more at peace, knowing someone out there also knows the feeling of loneliness. Ironically, it makes me feel like I'm not alone. Thank you for making this
It looks absolutly gogreous. I love it ❤
i searched for HOURS to find this in my history after i first watched it a couple months ago. this left that big of an impact on me.
one of the most comforting videos ive come across as of late, this perfectly describes so many feelings of anxiety and monotony its insane
absolutely lovely, i really needed this, thank you so much
this song is so comforting and i love your lineless art :0
how the hell is a song about keeping to yourself and avoiding social interaction comforting ????
@@necrotafeioKnowing that others feel the same way is pretty comforting
@@necrotafeio idk, i just feel alone and like im confused if im the only person who feels that way, cause others make social interaction look so easy :(
Heart wrenching. It's honestly relatable and beautiful at the same time. I try bringing myself out there yet it feels like no one likes me while I have so many friends. I shouldn't feel lonely but everything just seems so fake, I wish I wasn't lonely. I wish it could happen to me.
When I discovered this song in 2021 around the early days of enjoying music, the most surprising part about this entire song is that it sounds so modern, yet was made in 1969
This song sounds like it could've been made in 2010s or even 2020s. The fact that it's actually from the time when my grandparents were still teenagers is so bizzare
Glad and sad to see that loneliness is not a generational problem.
thank you for reminding me that im not alone struggling in this darkness sad not knowing why not knowing what's missing the void in my soul was filled for a second
It's the subtle change from "but" to "cause" at the end that totally sold it for me
ahh..i relate to these lyrics a whole whole lot. this animation was beautiful :)
Always nice to see people remember this song. One of my favourites of theirs. Helps that this accompanying animation is extremely charming and fitting as well.
LINELESS CHARACTER STYLES ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. Thank you for this amazing video 🫶
For someone who has difficulty in expressing themselves and hard to tell what's to wrong (not that i have anyone to tell what's wrong), I must confess, I don't know who you are but you've captured exactly what I've been trying so hard to convey but never hit the mark. Thanks.
WAAAGH your artstyle is so pretty 🥹🥹
i love how you composed this storyboard!! it's so lovely!! i can't wait for what's in your works bc this is so good!!
you're an inspiration because this style is definitely my cup of tea 😭
You say..... waaaaagh?...
ORKS IZ MADE FAR A FIGHT AN' WINNIN'
¡WAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA
this is genuinely the most pleasing animation to watch ive ever seen. the colours, composition and artstyle look so fucking good its insane
i really do hope that things better for you, you are VERY talented!
I felt this many times over. I wish everyone the best and push for not making a bunch of friends, but for the few who'll get you, and the you Who'll get them, and everything happening in the middle.
this little animation really portrayed your feelings well. really used the song as an instrument for the melody of your feelings.
No clue what I said ^ but we got this people
I listened to this song the other day in the radio but I never expected to exist an animatic using it and I never knew the meaning was that sad. You just gained a new sub! The style’s super cute~
By the way, the song’s called “After Hours” by The Velvet Underground!
Sorry.. it’s actually called after hours
There's another animatic of it by DeadlyComics
As someone else said, it’s actually titled “After Hours”.
@@knifebillion edited!
it's amazing that TVU made a song that would only fit in over 50 years in the future
I feel bad for saying this, but im glad im not the only one who feels this way/whos life is going like this.
I wish we all together could just accept that we will never be the people who dance, and move on.
Would be so much happier if I could just accept that im not made to be liked
found this video at a very relatable time. the kinda video that really hits when you know EXACTLY the feeling it's portraying
Reading through these comments while im alone feels so relaxing, like a nice quiet stroll in the park after a stressful day.
The music,art style and the message are just perfect, continue with the great work!
This is incredible, I'm sitting here after sobbing for a while, watching the sunrise and feeling more than I have in weeks. Thank you for making this.
Thank you! I'm so glad it made you cry. Actually that sounds kind of weird to say.
That enhanced "hello" really stands out, you know. Like a wake up call, it cuts you, if only for a moment. Speaking as a certified door closer here.
I thank the algorithm for bringing me this video. And even more, I thank you for making it. This combination of song and animation perfectly expresses how I've felt the past year. It's sad but also comforting to see others in a similar boat. ❤
Took me about a month to gather the courage to watch this masterpiece!! I thought it'd hit too close too home and get me crying. Heh, glad it didn't, brought a happysad smile instead. Thank you
I love this vid so much. Not only is the animation awesome but it brings me comfort to know that I’m not the only one that has this feeling of being lost in this hard to understand world. Thanks so much for making it!!!!
I've closed that door for an eternity, and it might as well stay that way. Thank you, a truly beautiful animation and song. Love it. 120/10. Couldn't have done it better.
As a dumb NEET with anxiety this animation is really relatable and makes me feel better, thank you. Also good job with the animation in general i have been wanting to get into drawing recently so it’s inspiring.
this -is literally the plot of omori- such a haunting rendition. Love the character design. Very nice us of textures.
This might genuinely be the coolest thing I've seen all year, the music choice is spot on, but much more than that, your way of storytelling is so unique and I really hope you continue posting your work
gosh i know you wont see this, but i love your art style so so so much, the final shot of the animation is so well done and the atmosphere is unironically exactly what i look for when i think of something artistic that makes me feel emotional.
@@wystren4952 thank you :) I try to read every comment, but I've slowed down lately because some have been rather scathing or accusatory
May all the Amelias find their Claires one day.
absolutely love the way the art encapsulates the whole feeling of the darkness inside the closed door blotting out everything. can't begin to explain how this made me feel, but amazing work nonetheless.
it feels like this video has to be watched in the dark and it really sets the mood right
0:55 she's a literal goddess
This is the best animation i have seen in my life
and it scares me
The colours are so incredible,, I love this sm
this is so well made and it hits vary close to home, but i think now it should be seen more as a cautionary tale, at least as someone who vary unexpectedly met one of the best people ever :) you dont always gotta shut people out
i really like your art style!! and the music plus the art give me a really warm yet sad feeling, i love it
This came along, and it helped me feel seen. I'm quite introverted and enjoy most of my time alone in peace, but this week I've been lonely. My only friends all live far away, and I'm stuck living in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do. Thank you for making this animation. I feel a little less lonely now. Maybe it's time to pay my Animal Crossing villagers another visit.
Your animation and style is so cool! Keep going!
Just happy that someone else (and a huge handful of others) share my experience and pain of loneliness. I hope things like this reach and touch the hearts of a wider audience so that the next generation will never feel as lonely.
i used to listen to this song on repeat for hours, this is such a beautiful animation for it and i love the character designs :D
it really hit me
as if this song AND the animation expressed everything I wanted to express my entire life but I couldn’t because I couldn’t understand these feelings myself
and this "birthday" shot (one w cake) with a lonely girl OH GOD it hit me even harder and then kicked me back
Me too, my monochromatic buddy...
Me too...

Sigh~
out of any velvet underground song, this has to be my favorite. it fits with whatever mood im in.
Finally, youtube recommends me something that ISN'T fandom drama! Great work, this cuts directly into my spinal chord and into my heart.
This song hits really close to home dear god
Amazing work on the animation, its super pretty
Oh, to be loved...
Great song and I love your art style, despite it's simplicity you are able to convey some deep emotions.
Ngl actually teared up a lil bit watching this.
YOUR ART-STYLE IS SOOO GOOD???
Aww, I feel like giving this little mime a hug. I can be her friend if she wants QuQ
I also just love her design, the lil symbols on both her eyes, her green colored eyes and the small detail of her make-up smearing in the rain. I just love her and I hope she'll find happiness one way or another
The Velvet Underground were really ahead to their time to the point that this song could be some recent indie release.
this video hit incredibly close to home for me,
it's been on the back of my mind for the past few days or so and every time it gets me really emotional
thank you so much for your beautiful artwork
This video is so relatable! You want love and connection, but you're too scared or too deprived to come into the light. It's deeply touching.
Beautiful art, reminds me if myself but with how ever out of place i feel and reminds me of how soft i am. I reminded how lonely asf i feel at times being/feeling like an involuntary social outcast.True art 10/10
I know right? Absolutely beautiful song and art.
Goddamnit not another channel being criminally ignored by the algorithm this is too underrated and amazing
Its poppin in feeds, numbers will go BRRR soon :3
im glad i got recommended this :) your art is super pretty and the song is very good
wow... i found this video 2 days ago but left it on a tab and never really watched it until now, i must say you definitely will grow into a big channel, like you know how when you are feeling spicy, drinking too much water sometimes just make it worse, but if you give it time then when you are completely fine with the heat, you start to enjoy the taste instead. just like life, cant take the shortcut, you gotta take it slow, and surely you will achieve the dream. keep it up!!! and focus only on the qualities of your vids you'll grow in no time
edits: i must say you got a talent on storytelling, you were lonely while making the vid and that feeling popped right into your art, your viewers are gonna feel the same way! honestly thats incredible
woah thats a really nice analogy
This definitely captures how ive been feeling last week perfectly.
I had the worst stomachache for 2 days straight and it was really painful. Now that i think about it, i dont think this song actually captures the feeling. I would say "The ghost song" that plays in the game "It moves" captures the feeling more.
great animation! super underated
the subject matter of this video really, really stings for me, because i relate to this a lot. not in the romantic sense, since i’m aromantic, but love is still super important to me. thank you for making this video.
As an introvert I'm happier closing the door...
I’m so glad I found this video, it really resonates with me in a weird way! Thank you for making this
what a specific recommendation for a specific time while i'm sobbing and murmuring to my cats about a specific thing
where are the spy cameras, big google
love your art style, its so unique!
Wow, this made my day! "After Hours" has always been one of my very favorite songs, VU or otherwise, and it's amazing to see it so beautifully animated. Your sweetly melancholy illustrations and artstyle perfectly capture the vibe. Now do "I'm Sticking With You"! 😉😛🥰
I’ve been through this. The lyric “I wish it would happen to me” is very resonant, as you see it happening to people and dont know that they actually had to go out and make it happen, you just see the results. I’ve had to learn that the hard way, and it only gets more difficult to do as time passes.
I love this song so much, what a beautiful video to go with it
Your stroke economy is incredible. You express so much information with so few brush strokes.
I love this artstyle and it's just so beautiful that it feels like it would be perfect in an indie game with a small cult following and is somehow both comforting and a little disturbing at the same time
Can’t relate. Whenever I get lonely I just visit the liquor store.
Can't relate. Whenever I get lonely I just sleep.
@@Stardust_Fox this is the plot to Omori (real)
Same. At this point, they know my booze choice and what brand of cigarettes I smoke
Nah bro now your wallet lonely too
@@officialpoppyperson omri
For 2 years I’ve just been feeling weird, or just lonely idk, like I had a friend who was probably my favorite person to talk to, but then I messed it all up, and it’s hard to even look at her without not feeling weird because she seemed to be my only friend who actually cared about me because of how similar we were, but now all my friends are extroverts, and it’s hard trying to fit in
Poor gal... did she have no one show up at her bday party? thats so depressing somebody give her a big present 😭
Thanks for the new artist on my playlist.
As someone who spent ~5 years in severe depression (and successfully came out of it), I think I can understand these feelings. All will pass. Life is like a falling dominoes. The most terrible things pass over time, the main thing is to push the smallest and first domino
