Fellow quiet carriage companions, ‘Man On Train, 1890’ is now available to listen to on Spotify and Apple Music! ⭐ *SPOTIFY* play.spotify.com/album/2OdHlDIYgVFWDCgLtrtDA9 ⭐ *APPLE MUSIC/ITUNES* music.apple.com/us/album/asmr-man-on-train-1890-ep/1548802139?uo=4
I found you through gibis bee movie video and I really enjoy this train video. Could we get another train one, maybe a few months later and the character is still alive?
Did anyone else notice that when he was talking about Shakespeare's "meta" qualities of being "self-referential" of his own plays within his own plays...that's EXACTLY when he put a pop-up suggestion for another one of his ASMR videos within this video?! Even made sure to look up to the exact corner of the video where the pop-ups always appear! Sorry, that was way too clever and I wanted to make sure he was appreciated for that detail. 😂
POV: You’re Death doing their nightly run tonight, he’s your final stop tonight and for the sake of boredom you decided to humor the poor man and let him finish his paper and talk to you before you send him off. You have quite the pleasant conversation as you do.
Are we the Specter of Death? I mean we kind of appeared out of nowhere. His story doesn’t match up, he said he came in here whilst we were here but it seems like we were the ones who entered, as he glances at us as if if we came in. Also he was reading the newspaper as the video started, which may suggest he’s been here for a moment. Also the fact he talks to us first suggest the same. Basically he was shot probably in the fight he was talking about, then sat down in a carriage to hide, and as he bled more and more he saw us, the Specter of Death.
So what you are saying is. We are the grim reaper speaking to him before his stop "The afterlife" and everything he says are memories, he once had a conversation like this with someone right before the match and bullet wound, this is his strongest memory he could think of also "I don't want to forget this moment" as he is in the abandoned train cart he found the photo and rethink to this moment, also why he barely feels the wound because he has lost way too much blood already.
@@Milkshake908 Just because it's an ASMR video doesn't mean the creator had no intention of artistic ideas like this. This makes sense tbh. The "I just got shot" comment he makes seems random and just for comedic effect until you consider that maybe there's more to the story than is evident at first.
Personally I think he got shot in 1890, and years later he’s talking to the modern person who is the POV as a ghost. And he’s now doing his parting. I mean come on, no one survives that long with blood gushing out of him, he’s definitely a ghost
that puts the story about the little ghost child unable to find peace after death until someone helped them in a whole new light. we're helping him by giving him company until he dies, and we shut our eyes at the end as if falling asleep to the story, which gives him some peace, either that he's helped someone relax and rest easy, or that he won't be seen actually dying. it could be us making sure he's put to rest so he won't want/need to linger
idk man somethin about being told "You are my latest memory and i do not want to forget this moment with you" just fucking pierced me in the heart. thanks man
How dare you, sir. I came here for soothing noises and relaxing conversations, Not to swiftly fall in love with Grant Worthington only to have my heart just as switfly _shattered_ over his mortally wounded state. 14:12 Him offering to share a cab since he lives so close, then checking the time and realizing it's HOURS before he can get home... and he's probably thinking _'oh dear, that's probably too long.'_ and he just *_MOVES RIGHT ALONG!_* Electing instead to take a photograph *_(that he's never going to develop)_* with a stranger he's sharing his *_last moments alive with_* because *_he's never going to make it back home._* So now I'm pushing down any negative emotion in this sad situation and choosing to enjoy and respect this charming man using his time to take my picture. This is *_SO WELL EXECUTED,_* and really gets across the point of seeing the moments of care and connection between needless tragedy.
I know I may be reading too far into this, but it's fun to make theories, so hear me out: This man is a time traveler. Allow me to explain. He says at 8:29 that he had a fight between himself and a "fellow that looked rather similar" to him. this could be him from a different time fighting him for one reason or another. As well as that, he asks about the influenza virus (9:26). Yes, the influenza virus existed before 1895, but it only hit the United Kingdom and surrounding areas in the early 1910s, about 20 years or so after this interaction. Another thing that caught my eye was how he reacted to having been shot (11:42). He seems very calm. A bit too calm for being shot in the abdomen. Usually, one would seek help of some kind. It's almost as if he's been waiting for this or at least understanding of his mortality. Considering how the man never went to get medical attention or help of any kind, one can only assume that he wanted to die. With these things in mind, I have 2 theories: 1: He is a time traveler who, for whatever reason, tried to stop himself in this time by getting into a fight, as previously mentioned. When that fails, a version of himself from a different point in time shoots him in the abdomen in an attempt to ultimately stop whatever wrongdoing the man who we see has committed. The attempt was a success and the man dies. This video is his final moments. 2: This man has had the ability to travel through time for a while. It has become more of a curse than a blessing. For one reason or another (maybe the loss of a loved one or depression or what have you), he decided it's time for him to leave this mortal plane. Before doing so, He travels to the roman era and fights with himself in the coliseum for the hell of it. He even said it himself at 8:51 that "sometimes you just need a good fight", hinting that he just did it for fun and fun alone. He also said at 8:34 that "Thousands of people watched", stating that there was a large crowd. One that a coliseum fight would bring. On the train, his future self, knowing his past self's intention to die, shoots him in the abdomen. The man sits down here and slowly dies of blood loss. That is why he never asked for help. He was ready and willing to die. Now, these are merely theories and have no bearing in the video whatsoever nor do they serve as backstory. This was just a fun experiment that I thought some of you may enjoy. Cheers!
Also in my opinion, I kind of like the second one more and hope it is that, also there is so much more that could be used for more kind of theories which is kind of crazy lul
I burst out laughing at 7:10 when he said Shakespeare is very meta then looked up to refer to his own video link. This is quality subtle humour that doesn't take away from the relaxed overall vibe. Well done, Atlas.
Right? It’s the worst! The nerve of some people that just pull out a gun for everything. I just wanna Avada kedavra there arse. Am I right or am I right?
a handsome, dying stranger takes my photo because i have a charming, intelligent-looking face and then reads ME a bedtime story? i honestly don’t have words to describe how this makes me feel.
This being unscripted definitely leads me to believe the 'I've been shot' line came from a desperate bid to fill a moment and then he had to roll with it I love it
Found myself actually answering with the goofiest smile on my face without realizing when he asked if I like the theater. YOU GOT ME. THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
I know right? I was watching him read the paper and I saw people saying the the creator couldn’t just kill him off, and I’d just reacted like it was the biggest affront to relaxation since the invention of the leaf blower.
"Oh... yes.. I do seem to be losing quite a lot of blood... but you know... can't have everything in life." xD I'm British and this far too British for me xD
" I apologize for making such a brash and unwarranted judgement". *10 seconds later.* "You have an intelligent face." Edit,8 monts later: omg thanks for the likes!
Anyone noticed that as Grant slowly starts to breathe heavily did the lighting change as well? It's such a good attention to detail that I can't help but repeat that scene but at the same time I was worried, loudly saying to myself "Are you okay Sir Grant?" until the end of the story. I almost cried, well done ;-;
POV: the man is a time traveler and got shot before traveling back to 1890. He sits with a youthful, young woman. The whole time, they have a conversation about life and stuff. By the end of it as she is drifting off to sleep and he is bleeding out. He states that he was glad to see her again and glad he had a photo of her when she was younger. When she wakes up, the man is gone, however not only does the picture that he took that night of her remain, but she sees several other photos of what looks like her in different time lines. She try’s to process how this could be. On the back of every picture it says her name and a date. On the last picture that was dated, it says her name with the word “wife” next to it. (Basically I’m saying that the man had lost his wife and decided to time travel to the different timelines with her in it. When he reaches the timeline where they were supposed to meet, he gets shot. He does not fear death though. He knew it would come after him and what better time than the moment he actually met her. He has one last conversation with her and decides to take her picture to remember the moment he saw her again, then he dies, however he is happy he got to see her one last time.)
@@JustSomeGuyForChrist I know I’ve already thanked you, but I just want to show how much this means to me. My biggest goal in life is to change lives and let my words be known so the fact that you took the time to read it and comment about it so nicely means the world to me. May you have a great day.
i’m practically begging at this point for you not to let this character die PLEASE make this a series. i became way too emotionally attached to him and when he died i STARTED CRYING so please keep him alive
I skipped ahead to see him talk cause I was impatient then he’s like: _”Oh this? It’s quite all right I’ve simply been shot”_ also his voice and face and suit and fancy newspaper are simply making me melt.
@@Nihil7781 It's this realization that makes his death sting that much more. If you can bond with a charming stranger on a train in half an hour and be sad when they die, how much worse when it's a loved one you've known for years. Bravo Atlas, you've captured the human experience in only 30 short minutes.
Same here, the last time I checked the time it was coming onto 11. So I said ‘oh, probably near 11’ and he proceeded to tell me it was 11 and I was so shocked. Threw me into the immersion totally.
I cried so much.. I just wanted so desperately to help him. It was heartbreaking when he started reading the story, and he looked like he was closer to die at each phrase he said. But at all, it's a very good and well made video, it made me feel really good. He's voice is so soothing and he's so so so nice, it's perfect. The ambience is wonderful and I would love to see a part 2🥹
This messed me up! One minute you’re having a pleasant conversation with a gentleman on a train and the next minute the situation gets dark real quick! This brought tears, man!😭😭😭
Personally I feel like the story was alluding to something: personally my belief is you aren't actually watching him die, this is his ghost, he died alone in a train car, this train car, when he actually died he died alone after being shot, he, like the child in the story was not able to move on from the grief of dying alone, his only wish was to die around someone else. Finally after a long time someone finally can see him, and it is in the story, he finally is able to fulfill his wish, as the video gets dark you fall asleep and he is finally able to move on
Not exactly. You see, back in the late 19th century these types of paragraphs were normal for newspapers and books. Smaller lettering was necessary for local newspaper companies such as the * Manchester Guardian* since there was only such a scarce amount of material for printing them
I am so impressed with the commitment of this acting. Him just looking at you through his paper for two and a half minutes was very fun and commendable
I feel like an orphan who’s stollen a train ticket to London, and now will help this gentleman solve crimes and word book puzzles with my intelligent and charming face. I got up to fetch the train doctor before he started reading; he’s a little delirious, but I think we’ll still be able to see some Shakespeare
Grant didn't bleed out to death, he just simply drifted off to sleep to the sound of his soothing voice, like the rest of us. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. :")
This is actually the greatest role play I have ever seen, my God. The acting, the setting, the lighting, the ambiance, everything. It actually makes me feel like I am there.
If you’ve ever seen the Netflix movie ballad of buster Scruggs one of the short stories is about a stage coach ride that becomes eerie and dark and you soon realize it’s a stagecoach ride to the afterlife
@@fork_salad Interesting! In my head, it looks kind of like this: Grant got shot indeed, but not on his way to the station. Simply everyone who died from unnatural causes finds himself on a train and thinks it happened of his own free will. In the end, they all realize they were killed. Grant was shot. His companion may have been poisoned.
quite fitting with the target year too ^^ according to Google there was the 3rd Plague epidemic raging in that time frame, which ironically had its outbreak in China too.
when he started to read, I felt a little sad, the train's ambiance changes a little too and everything turns a blue hue. I wish I could have helped him 🥺💔
Omg so good. I was really bonding with the character and I really wanted to help him. I love how the man dying wishes was to give what he loved to us, the younger generation. It was really good and because the character has so much you in it, I really felt like this person was real.

Me: *looks directly at camera like I’m on an episode of The Office*
XD
I do that sometimes.
i genuinely looked lkke jim looks at my imaginary camera
Could easily imagine that
I can already see the scene play out in my head 😂
I wasn't supposed to fall in love with this man

I’m scrolling through the comments while watching the video and _what do you mean he’s been shot_
I know right? I was watching him read the paper and I saw people saying the the creator couldn’t just kill him off, and I’d just reacted like it was the biggest affront to relaxation since the invention of the leaf blower.
look at 11:47
Grant: "You do know that this is the quiet carriage?"
Also Grant: **proceeds to talk for half an hour**

He talks quietly i guess
The ending literally made me cry. This man deserves an Oscar 😭
“You do have a rather intelligent face”
Me: *face smushed on pillow*
"Oh... yes.. I do seem to be losing quite a lot of blood... but you know... can't have everything in life." xD
I'm British and this far too British for me xD
Oi You got a license for dying mate?
agree
Might I ask for your bleeding licence?
@Atlas Beaumont Trenches of World War Two? World War One you mean?
@Atlas Beaumont It’s alright.
" I apologize for making such a brash and unwarranted judgement".
*10 seconds later.*
"You have an intelligent face."
Edit,8 monts later: omg thanks for the likes!
you should do January 1980 not 1890
@Sunrise Glimmer 3:17
CHILE
Anyone noticed that as Grant slowly starts to breathe heavily did the lighting change as well? It's such a good attention to detail that I can't help but repeat that scene but at the same time I was worried, loudly saying to myself "Are you okay Sir Grant?" until the end of the story. I almost cried, well done ;-;
You can't just create my husband then kill him off like that tf
Right? he was very much my type...

Me: You almost gave me a panic attack but nice.
POV: the man is a time traveler and got shot before traveling back to 1890. He sits with a youthful, young woman. The whole time, they have a conversation about life and stuff. By the end of it as she is drifting off to sleep and he is bleeding out. He states that he was glad to see her again and glad he had a photo of her when she was younger. When she wakes up, the man is gone, however not only does the picture that he took that night of her remain, but she sees several other photos of what looks like her in different time lines. She try’s to process how this could be. On the back of every picture it says her name and a date. On the last picture that was dated, it says her name with the word “wife” next to it.
(Basically I’m saying that the man had lost his wife and decided to time travel to the different timelines with her in it. When he reaches the timeline where they were supposed to meet, he gets shot. He does not fear death though. He knew it would come after him and what better time than the moment he actually met her. He has one last conversation with her and decides to take her picture to remember the moment he saw her again, then he dies, however he is happy he got to see her one last time.)

@@JustSomeGuyForChrist I know I’ve already thanked you, but I just want to show how much this means to me. My biggest goal in life is to change lives and let my words be known so the fact that you took the time to read it and comment about it so nicely means the world to me. May you have a great day.
This began as the most painfully Victorian thing I'd ever seen, but then went completely **ahem** off the rails.
I should never be left alone to freestyle
Aye... nice
@@sanstheskeleton7897 oh god sans your into this stuff to
i’m practically begging at this point for you not to let this character die PLEASE make this a series. i became way too emotionally attached to him and when he died i STARTED CRYING so please keep him alive
i think you need to get a life
cring
I literally fell in love with this character
can we pause for a moment and talk about the evolution of the lighting as the story progresses?
This is brilliant, well done!
Reminds me of that one part of Ballad of Buster Scruggs, the carriage ride at sunset 👌
I was looking for this comment
How did he do that?
I skipped ahead to see him talk cause I was impatient then he’s like: _”Oh this? It’s quite all right I’ve simply been shot”_ also his voice and face and suit and fancy newspaper are simply making me melt.
his voice is making me feel different-
The painful breathing and the hitching in his voice at the end actually made my heart hurt. beautifully done atlas please don't die ಥ_ಥ
I know it was so sad
Everyone Will die... You know
@@Nihil7781 It's this realization that makes his death sting that much more. If you can bond with a charming stranger on a train in half an hour and be sad when they die, how much worse when it's a loved one you've known for years. Bravo Atlas, you've captured the human experience in only 30 short minutes.
@@Sango23 what?
@@Nihil7781 Did I not make sense?
He puts so much detail into his videos that THE NEWSPAPER HAS THE DATE JANUARY 11 1890, THAT IS INSANE 🤯
The fact that when he asked "where I'm headed to" and I said London in my head and he said "ahh London as well"....when I tell you my eyes went WIDE
Same here, the last time I checked the time it was coming onto 11. So I said ‘oh, probably near 11’ and he proceeded to tell me it was 11 and I was so shocked. Threw me into the immersion totally.
I DID THE SAME SKDNSJ
When are you going to tell us?
Well he does have a southern accent lol so not surprised .
I skipped ahead and found this man vehemently singing in Italian and didn’t know what to think
Idk how I skipped into the video and ran into the exact part you are talking about right after reading your comment
I just let the video play and found this man vehemently singing in Italian and didn’t know what to think

Grant: **keeps casual conversation for around ten minutes**
Also Grant: oh yes I have been shot,
Shock is one hell of a drug
British. They don’t ever want to be a bother, ‘twould be ungentlemanly.
I cried so much.. I just wanted so desperately to help him. It was heartbreaking when he started reading the story, and he looked like he was closer to die at each phrase he said. But at all, it's a very good and well made video, it made me feel really good. He's voice is so soothing and he's so so so nice, it's perfect. The ambience is wonderful and I would love to see a part 2🥹
This messed me up! One minute you’re having a pleasant conversation with a gentleman on a train and the next minute the situation gets dark real quick! This brought tears, man!😭😭😭
How can I sleep after falling in love with a stranger in a train and then he dies like no.
Same
@@Seleneschild999 y
@@StJunipero they're women mate don't try to understand its like them asking us why we play around with our balls we don't know why we just do 😂
Personally I feel like the story was alluding to something: personally my belief is you aren't actually watching him die, this is his ghost, he died alone in a train car, this train car, when he actually died he died alone after being shot, he, like the child in the story was not able to move on from the grief of dying alone, his only wish was to die around someone else. Finally after a long time someone finally can see him, and it is in the story, he finally is able to fulfill his wish, as the video gets dark you fall asleep and he is finally able to move on
@@Tesseract1887 Whatever you smoke, I want too
Newspapers were so chaotic back in the day. Imagine trying to read something and losing your spot.
It was a nightmare genuinely trying to read one
Not exactly. You see, back in the late 19th century these types of paragraphs were normal for newspapers and books. Smaller lettering was necessary for local newspaper companies such as the * Manchester Guardian* since there was only such a scarce amount of material for printing them
I prefer the broad pages. You just fold them.
I am so impressed with the commitment of this acting. Him just looking at you through his paper for two and a half minutes was very fun and commendable
NAHHH, pls don't kill him. I kinda like him. He's so positive, friendly and very polite.
man, it’s Crazy Atlas went out and bought a whole Train Carriage for this.
StArmunch 64 not Irish enough lol
What do you mean he bought the company and the train line
No no no no. I need a part 2 where he gets to live and our love story continues in London.
😐
Yes yes yes still waiting
I think if he gets to london alive then we will get a part 2 in the hospital lol
@@pochida7412 pleaseeeee I need that so much!
Awww how cute
"you look young, modern, youthful"
Me just chilling in a bathrobe: thanks
I feel like an orphan who’s stollen a train ticket to London, and now will help this gentleman solve crimes and word book puzzles with my intelligent and charming face. I got up to fetch the train doctor before he started reading; he’s a little delirious, but I think we’ll still be able to see some Shakespeare

@@mrman7849 lol our brains are literally built to associate wdym
We’re my potterheads at?:)
Grant didn't bleed out to death, he just simply drifted off to sleep to the sound of his soothing voice, like the rest of us.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. :")
This is actually the greatest role play I have ever seen, my God. The acting, the setting, the lighting, the ambiance, everything. It actually makes me feel like I am there.
Those crinkly paper sounds are just... *mamma mia chef's kiss* 👌🏼

I would easily fall in love with a man like this. Not like saying I didn't.
Stop me

Well, just remember is 1890 so maybe if You marry him You might get Beaten if The dinner isn't ready
The algorithm delivered me here 2 years later but you cannot be looking at me over your paper like that. My heart cannot take it.
pov: you're both dead and the train is actually the Afterlife Express
Can i use this as a story prompt
@@trinityg.5620 absolutely
If you’ve ever seen the Netflix movie ballad of buster Scruggs one of the short stories is about a stage coach ride that becomes eerie and dark and you soon realize it’s a stagecoach ride to the afterlife
@@fork_salad Interesting! In my head, it looks kind of like this: Grant got shot indeed, but not on his way to the station. Simply everyone who died from unnatural causes finds himself on a train and thinks it happened of his own free will. In the end, they all realize they were killed.
Grant was shot. His companion may have been poisoned.
Mary mother of Jesus..Rather grim I suppose.
He actually made me blush when he kept making eye contact at the beginning before speaking. WTF? This is some next level sh*t!
I would probably fall in love with anyone who spoke to me like this in real life tbh
“Who would have thought that a random deadly virus could have taken over the world like this” I like the reference
quite fitting with the target year too ^^ according to Google there was the 3rd Plague epidemic raging in that time frame, which ironically had its outbreak in China too.
He’s so adorably awkward and I love it
hes so goodlooking oml
when he started to read, I felt a little sad, the train's ambiance changes a little too and everything turns a blue hue. I wish I could have helped him 🥺💔
Omg so good. I was really bonding with the character and I really wanted to help him. I love how the man dying wishes was to give what he loved to us, the younger generation. It was really good and because the character has so much you in it, I really felt like this person was real.
♥️♥️♥️
devastated over a man on a train. absolutely heart broken. i cannot sleep. i can only cry.
This was less of a train and more of an emotional rollercoaster
👁👄👁
I laughed way too hard at this
We did it ladies and Gentlemen, the smile turned into a laugh
Rumor has it that this man is still on the train now
This nervous, either being nice or trying to flirt gentleman has me falling in love
I’m enjoying this casual conversation and then this man is like 𝑂ℎ 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑖’𝑣𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑡 😂
I can’t tell if there’s romantic tension going on here or we’re both just very awkward-
same-
Both
I was blushing
I think the second option
Edit: Nice
Yes.
This is what time traveling must feel like.
