for me being a 17 year old male in a small town of the eastcoast in canada, these are the little things I can enjoy by myself. this album is the friend who wasn't there for me all the time. thank you all. much love
as an eighteen year-old identity crisis in a male body, i feel that. i live in a tiny east coast town as well, 400 people roughly, really just roads with houses lining them, all the people are old and the kids are all leaving. i sadly don't have any friends who listen to this sort of music due to the isolation of where i live but it still strikes a chord with me, hits me in the soul, because that's what music is good for. hitting you deep down. peace and love to you, fellow maritimer, shitty place to live in many ways but goddamn is it beautiful
@@franzibreinesberger5300 my tastes have changed a fair amount, but I come back to this album frequently. Since writing this I've written 3 or so albums and EPS in hopes to attempt to capture the feelings of not having people. But at this point things have come together and I feel much better, I have a band, so many loving relationships in my life and I feel extremely good. This album has helped me in so many ways and now it's just a reminder of old scars that have since healed :)
That's so awesome! I'm so glad to hear. I think everybody has these rough times in their lives, trying to sort things out and understanding oneselves, and I think I'm really in the middle of this right now. I've grown a fair amount and got to know myself, but I'm like almost 17 now, and I definetly still got a long way to go. Thanks!
@@franzibreinesberger5300 you've got a lot to do and a while to go but do good things and be a genuine and whole hearted person and everything will work out fine. It's been a rough past 3 years but looking back to 3 years ago, I can honestly tell myself things are better! Enjoy life my friend
Can't say how much I relate to the song "sleep". Especially "I'll go to sleep at a decent time when I find something worth waking up for". I switch sleep schedules so often and uncaringly. Makes me realize that I let my sleep get screwed, cause I don't have anything to wake up to. Anyone else have the same depression?
Nicholas Jones I used to feel that way, but I feel like it's because I didn't realize how bad things can really get. I'm sure, there must be something out there for you.
it's 3 am over here and I don't want to sleep...I'm not ready having to get up later and go do whatever everyone wants and expects me to do. I just want to lay here and listen to music forever instead...
Hey, i have the same thing. I just stay up all night, waiting for i call i'll never get, drinking wiskey, till' i eventualy fall asleep.. And i wake up.. i don't want to, because i don't have anything worth to wake up for..
It's always a struggle for me, i've been in the state you described for 2-3 years, i was at college at the time, I was staying up until 4-5 in the morning everyday, my sleep scheduled was deeply screwed. It took me a while to understand I was in a depression. Once I realised, it was too late, I felt like I was buried under the weight of the world. I just couldn't do anything. I left my apartment rarely, only when I was obligated, I never went to any courses, I just went to the exams. My grades started to drop quickly, then I finally left college. Since that, things have improved very slowly. I definitely feel better, but it feels like depression is waiting for me around the corner...
i love this comment section. when i feel lonely, i sometimes come here to read how people feel and what they think about the album. i read every comment and i liked most of them. if you listen to flatsound, i love you.
I know this is an older song with older comments, but i know someone will find this during this period of time and relate. I am just another kid who went to school one day and never went back again 3 months later. Sounded like a great plan at first. But then, everything became real. Shit wasn’t “like the flu” like people had previously claimed. The uncertainty of what would happen to my education would creep up to me and it would eventually all hut at once. My 90-something-year-old grandmother had a scare, but she was eventually tested clean. I had to start doing school online. Structure to my day from simply waking up at a set time, seeing the few people who meant the world to me, and doing work after school everyday was gone. It was the only thing that kept me sane. School became tougher and tougher. Teachers claimed they understood that we were all faced with a tough time but most of them did not show that or take that into account when assigning and grading work. School caught up to me. I had a major anxiety attack that would physically make me unable to do anything but lay in bed. Now its may. Im somehow still trudging ahead with school. I miss my friends but i understand why i cant see them (for now). But each day feels incredibly dull. Its 4am right now and i certainly cannot find a reason to go to sleep at a decent time anymore. Im in a cycle of feeling extreme anxiety and then back into depression. I can go outside, but i just cant get myself to do it. I havent been outside since march. Everything feels so optional and pointless, again giving me no reason to go to sleep at a decent time.
It is so amazing that there is something I can listen to while I lay in my bed in my messy room in my low income housing apartment on the verge of sulking. I'm not sure why I feel this way. I aspire to create something out of all these colorful thoughts in my head, but when I sit down I struggle to put the pastel colored picture in my head on the page. In this small Iowa town I feel so alienated because my mind isn't on one track. I sit here and ponder on the amazing things I feel like I'm capable of, but I can't seem to shape the pieces together. I'm so lost, but at least I find some feeling in this.
Same. No small Iowa town though; small village in a small city in a very small country. It feels like things will never fall into place. It makes me hopeless, but the hopelessness doesn't stop the ideas from flowing in my head and taking away my sleep, but nothing comes out when I try to release them. It feels like it's never gonna happen for me and it's hard to stay motivated. I guess I'm not being very encouraging, but I'm trying to say you are not alone. We must keep trying. Sending tons of love your way x
as i sip on my hot chocolate whilst feeling my laptop speakers, i can feel the vibrations of every single note you sing. i couldn't be more glad to be alive at this very moment.
dang three years old already??? i remember listening to this when you first released it like it was yesterday. jamming to it on the cassette in my best friends old car. i can still see the frost on the window sill and her hands in fists banging on the steering wheel to that opening track. great album mitch, and will always be one of my favourites. i feel like ive grown up with you, been listening to you since i was in like eighth grade, used to put you on all my mix tapes and stay up till 4 a.m. crying and junk. now i'm 21 and am happy i can smile with you a bit more....still cry a bit, but you know how it is, its flatsound.
This album'll really cut to the quick when listened to after the jarring emotional finale of a long relationship. Its like fertilizer for sadness, but you gotta have some to grow first--and as it happens I got plenty. Some of the songs seemed so relevant to me personally that at times I felt my chest would explode. And that may be the highest praise I've ever given in my 22 odd years of life.
can we talk about the last song? it’s no where on RUclips except for here, yet I think it’s one of his best songs. Mitch really knows how to break your heart with just a guitar and his voice, nothing else needed. But when you add rain ambience in the background, it makes it that much more bittersweet. . “kurtis, hunter, hemingway, please stop making sense.” fuck dude. that song is the best way to end an album. so minimalistic yet it still manages to pull on my heartstrings.
I'd like to say the same thing about I Don't Remember You at the end. I was shown this album almost 5 years ago and even though I couldn't relate to the lyrics, the atmosphere and ambience of the tracks felt very personal. Coming back after a failed relationship, many of these lyrics touched me in ways I couldn't understand before. It's a tear-jerker
i love this album so much and i love seeing that so many people love it but to love this album you have to have been through some painful fucking shit and i hate the world for having so many sad kids oh my god
Helena Bailey just be thankful that there's people out here like us who can sit and appreciate the music and understand life a little more. maybe the sad kids come for the music but end up with supporting people like us. music unites us, so just be glad for that :)
3 things to keep in mind to avoid more pain/suffering 1. Nothing is permanent 2. Since nothing is permanent, people suffer when things changed 3. No self - Since nothing is permanent there is no really a "self" cause we ourselves are changing the "self" is in changing process. Hope this helps like it did to me.
i randomly discovered flatsound when i was in 5th or 6th grade. flatsound has helped me through abuse and depression. i'm now 17 and i'm still here. tysm flatsound
these kind of albums, these albums who make me relive a new whole life in my head one where i'm happy, in my house with a coffee stress free i just cant explain how this album touches me and help me
"Well congratulations, I didn't know you two had made things so official, just don't call me when it fizzles. In fact don't call me at all." It's sad how much I relate to this.
Mostly because it's more free. They're not catering to a certain audience that they will lose if they don't act happy all the time. Indie music is a free form of art, and people are drawn to that. Especially, people wanting to be understood.
This music is one of those things that makes me feel the ground beneath my feet and honestly I’m so fucking tired of being genuine and getting nothing back. I finally feel like someone just gave me their heart to listen to and then sat and listened to mine.
Been listening to this album since eighth grade & I'm currently a senior in high school. I've yet to be tired of this album. Your music has always been able to make me feel, which isn't something I do very often. Thank you for making me comfortable with my humanity.
I've been here for like 20+ times. I literally can't get out. I have no life experience(I'm 17 y/o), I can't find anything in common between this album and my life, but it makes me so emotional. Just carry on with what you are doing. I am poet (kinda) and I dream that, one day, I could write like you do. sorry for bad english, I'm not native speaker but I hope you could understand me. bye!
I'm so fucking grateful for Flatsound's music.. It's the only thing keeping me sane when panic or despair overwhelm me.. You just get it.. Really, thank you.
Dear lord "i go to bed at a decent time when i have something worth waking up to" this is why i have not slept properly in months! you put it in to words, and thank you so much for that:)
now, here's the thing: i can't relate to these songs -- at least, not all of them. i can't feel the same emotion and pain, maybe even peace, that some people feel when they listen to this album. i can't think of a certain experience or feeling when listening to these songs and i can't precisely assign feelings to these chords, but i can tell the amount of significance they bring to other people. knowing that others, while listening to 'sleep', feel all these different emotions within them, discover answers they weren't expecting or find the strength to live on for yet another day, this is what makes this album so special for me. thank you, mitch.
Lauren Meaningfully beautiful placed words , cutting through the outer layers eventually reaching that which is hidden , in the hard-boiled , callous skinned and salty individuals , such as myself
I'm sorry for saying the following, but it's meant as a compliment, so dear flatsound, I hope you see this: Your songs make me cry everytime, and for the last weeks, none of the music I usually listen to could touch me lime yours. I actually feel like shit at the moment, but I couldn't find a way to set my emotions free and to let it all out, I felt nothing when I listened to my favorite band (which is Brand New) and I knew that must mean I'm pretty fucked up at the moment. I thank you so very very very much for your music. It helps me so much right now, I can't even find the right words. Just thank you. And keep playing this incredible music.
I reckon you should listen to "Modest Mouse" or "Mimicking Birds". I struggle being me too, but these two bands remind me im a total unique person and appreciate that im me.
This music helped my bare through an entire decade of my life and never could I express the gratitude I have for knowing someone can feel the way I do.
This music is currently one of the only things that makes me feel right now, and I’m very thankful for that. I listened to the whole thing three times tonight and I ended up falling asleep to it, and I’ve hardly slept at all in months, im thankful for this. I’ve been numb and tired for so long and something about this album sets me free. Free to feel and free to relax. I feel safe. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve heard in a long time. Also reading the comments here was touching. I know I’m not alone anymore, and I’m thankful for that. It’s one of the few things that hits close enough to make me feel safe so I can breathe, and I’m thankful for that. 🖤 I will find myself here, calmly listening to this a lot in life
I have listened to this every single night to help me fall asleep (I have chronic insomnia) for two years now, and it has never failed me once. Thank you, Mitch.
this album has been there when i needed someone. it really helped me get over some tough things. thank you for helping me and for this album, keep up the good work.
If you've ever fought for love, you know what a true fight is, every cell in your body, your psychological mind, physical pain, all because of love. It's true power, be careful with it, embrace it everyday of your lives but just remember to be careful with it.
I can't help but gather an uncanny feeling. It's as though anyone who listens to this album is forever part of a sanction that understands the experience in this whirlwind of emotion that took up 58 minutes of our lives.
I have listened to this album every night to go to sleep and my anxiety got better for about five months and I am back and Mitch I love you man and I get that you gotta pay your rent but like these ads aren’t helping me sleep man
will be visiting my ex girlfriend's grave with my fiance on the weekend. everything hurts like hell half a year after her death, but this album sure helps calm me down.
Interesting how someone from a totally different place can narrate (what feels like) your own story. In many ways you articulated my own thoughts and feelings better than I could, and for that... Thank you.
woah. such a beautifully crafted album. perfect music to listen to late at night when you can't fall asleep. There is something very sad and mellow about it. When you sit and think about the lyrics a wave of sadness hits you but by the end you breath out with a sense of relief. Sometimes we need time to over-selves to think and cry.
This album changed my life, this inspired me to be honest to myself and accept things for how they were. Sometimes I still feel like I can't accept anything and that I want to control things I know I have no control over, the only thing I can do is be honest in how I express myself to people; this album helped me accept that their response is not my fault and that if things go badly, I can take my time in finding how to forgive myself and others for the situation, not their actions. Thank you for this, I really think it saved me.
I found amazing how much people shares this taste of music. Imagine how marvelous it would be to we all make a big meeting, and talk about music, our lifes, aspirations, and mistakes. I'm sure, I would be honored just by meeting one of you guys :) sry the poor english, I cant describe my emotions with my vocabulary :(
there's something so special about you you were made for this, no doubt in my mind. definitely meant to happen, everything that led to you becoming flatsound
This album makes me tear up everytime i can't help it. My ex girlfriend played this album on her computer on the last day that we met that's why it really means a lot to me and that's the story of how I knew flatsound
"are you still there, babe? ...guess not" that hit me so hard, holy crap. this is the only album that has brought me to tears and that's why i love it so much. thank you, mitch
i always find myself coming back to this album, whether im happy or so sad i can barely get up the motivation to blink or breathe or anything, its always beautiful
my brother insulted your music in the car so when we got home i flounced around listening to your music just to spite him, which made me feel better because your music is everything to me and i felt like he insulted a close friend. ly and you changed my life
The song 'you know how to make a man feel useless' actually really scared me. If you listen with both headphones in, you'll understand what I mean. I just listened to it in the dark aswell and made me really anxious :/
Inspirational music. I tried to write some of my own poems while listening and after too. This album really makes me want to write and mess around with noises. Today is not as bad as it seems.
Was having a real hard time getting to sleep and I rediscovered this album in one of my playlists and it soothed me right to sleep and it was wonderful. I love when I can listen to what a song is saying and embrace it all, and feel at ease while doing so.
Ten years later and this album hits even harder with age. I used to fall asleep to this every night for about 6 months after it dropped. Those days are gone now
One of the last things my friend listened to before I lost him... Why do you have to be so sad >~< after listening for a while its oddly comfortable and retable...I miss my friend
"I go to sleep at a decent time when I find something worth waking up for." So true.
yes it is: (
It's sad if it is happening to me 😢
well yeah. it's also sad if it's other people too.
Dramamine...one of the best ModestMousesongs of all time.
I'm sometimes afraid to go to sleep.
The soundtrack for laying down with and achey heart and a knot in your stomach. Especially those ambient tracks, good god..
This definitely seems like the kind of thing a someone who likes Deftones would also enjoy. So much spacey, sad ambiance.
Or if you're a furry: A knot in your ass.

And some of us haven't been kids in a long time. For some of us, it doesn't get better.
'you are the coffin' and 'sleep' are works of art. This whole album means so much to me

Dear lord "i go to bed at a decent time when i have something worth waking up to" this is why i have not slept properly in months! you put it in to words, and thank you so much for that:)
"Wrote an album called Sleep and realized that it's about waking up."
now, here's the thing: i can't relate to these songs -- at least, not all of them. i can't feel the same emotion and pain, maybe even peace, that some people feel when they listen to this album. i can't think of a certain experience or feeling when listening to these songs and i can't precisely assign feelings to these chords, but i can tell the amount of significance they bring to other people. knowing that others, while listening to 'sleep', feel all these different emotions within them, discover answers they weren't expecting or find the strength to live on for yet another day, this is what makes this album so special for me. thank you, mitch.

Meaningfully beautiful placed words , cutting through the outer layers eventually reaching that which is hidden , in the hard-boiled , callous skinned and salty individuals , such as myself
This guy's voice is so beautiful, and his lyrics mean so much. I love it.
I'm in love with this album okay?
I'm sorry for saying the following, but it's meant as a compliment, so dear flatsound, I hope you see this: Your songs make me cry everytime, and for the last weeks, none of the music I usually listen to could touch me lime yours. I actually feel like shit at the moment, but I couldn't find a way to set my emotions free and to let it all out, I felt nothing when I listened to my favorite band (which is Brand New) and I knew that must mean I'm pretty fucked up at the moment. I thank you so very very very much for your music. It helps me so much right now, I can't even find the right words. Just thank you. And keep playing this incredible music.
+Jenni Faaah
please feel better
I reckon you should listen to "Modest Mouse" or "Mimicking Birds". I struggle being me too, but these two bands remind me im a total unique person and appreciate that im me.
Brand New is good stuff. I hope you can come to feel alright.
where has this been all my life
This music helped my bare through an entire decade of my life and never could I express the gratitude I have for knowing someone can feel the way I do.
your voice and the words make me feel even when i didnt want to
This music is currently one of the only things that makes me feel right now, and I’m very thankful for that. I listened to the whole thing three times tonight and I ended up falling asleep to it, and I’ve hardly slept at all in months, im thankful for this. I’ve been numb and tired for so long and something about this album sets me free. Free to feel and free to relax. I feel safe. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve heard in a long time. Also reading the comments here was touching. I know I’m not alone anymore, and I’m thankful for that. It’s one of the few things that hits close enough to make me feel safe so I can breathe, and I’m thankful for that. 🖤 I will find myself here, calmly listening to this a lot in life
I have listened to this every single night to help me fall asleep (I have chronic insomnia) for two years now, and it has never failed me once. Thank you, Mitch.
this album has been there when i needed someone. it really helped me get over some tough things.
thank you for helping me and for this album, keep up the good work.
I remember being obsessed with this album in middle school. Im here again in college this time
What's going on? RUclips actually knows how to recommend music now.
Vojife i liked this comment the first time i listened to this and now i wanna like it again like 6 months later
I'll actually never get tired of this. it makes me feel so Alive.
Discovered this during the quarantine I can say I’ve never been so happy to be sad
I just argued with my mom. This band was the only thing I could think of. It's always a good time to listen to Flatsound, thank you for the music♡
If you've ever fought for love, you know what a true fight is, every cell in your body, your psychological mind, physical pain, all because of love. It's true power, be careful with it, embrace it everyday of your lives but just remember to be careful with it.
Is someone else got a feeling of nostalgia for no reason? Btw, I love this album and I need a friend who can listen this with me. 😩
VixenSimmer we are all your friends
I can't help but gather an uncanny feeling. It's as though anyone who listens to this album is forever part of a sanction that understands the experience in this whirlwind of emotion that took up 58 minutes of our lives.
VixenSimmer
VixenSimmer I’ll be ur friend
yeah but im pretty sure theres a reason i mean damn those baby toy noises, pretty pads and familiar punky sad vocals
These songs brings lots of feelings to me at this moment...
I'm feeling so much right now i absolutely love it
something to feel... it's nice
I have listened to this album every night to go to sleep and my anxiety got better for about five months and I am back and Mitch I love you man and I get that you gotta pay your rent but like these ads aren’t helping me sleep man
i'd like to marry this album
I listen to this every night to help me sleep. So soothing, so beautiful. ♡
This brings my depression out so I can walk away from it afterwards .
That's beautiful
O_O
Yes. That's a truly and absolutely beautiful thing. Thank you for putting those words out there.
It's a gift and so are your words.
This is the truest statement I think I've ever heard.
I bought this CD and you sent me a card signed by you thanking me for buying it, I was endlessly excited. Thanks for being amazing mr Flatsounds
i miss you flatsound sleep (full album)
Now this is what I call aesthetic
dude, my sister just recomended this guy for while i am doing my hw, and i friggen love it!
i still listen to this most nights. helps me sleep
will be visiting my ex girlfriend's grave with my fiance on the weekend. everything hurts like hell half a year after her death, but this album sure helps calm me down.
Interesting how someone from a totally different place can narrate (what feels like) your own story. In many ways you articulated my own thoughts and feelings better than I could, and for that...
Thank you.
woah. such a beautifully crafted album. perfect music to listen to late at night when you can't fall asleep. There is something very sad and mellow about it. When you sit and think about the lyrics a wave of sadness hits you but by the end you breath out with a sense of relief. Sometimes we need time to over-selves to think and cry.
This album changed my life, this inspired me to be honest to myself and accept things for how they were. Sometimes I still feel like I can't accept anything and that I want to control things I know I have no control over, the only thing I can do is be honest in how I express myself to people; this album helped me accept that their response is not my fault and that if things go badly, I can take my time in finding how to forgive myself and others for the situation, not their actions. Thank you for this, I really think it saved me.
I can't get enough of this, if you get around to putting an album of yours in vinyl i'll buy like 74.
Angel Evans i'll buy 75. How about that?
Plasticnightmare // Chase i'll buy 76?
i'd probably buy 78 then!
Hayden Spence I'll buy a 100 cx
***** well i'll buy 101! :o
I found amazing how much people shares this taste of music. Imagine how marvelous it would be to we all make a big meeting, and talk about music, our lifes, aspirations, and mistakes. I'm sure, I would be honored just by meeting one of you guys :)
sry the poor english, I cant describe my emotions with my vocabulary :(
This album will always make me nostalgic for a spring i never knew of.
5 years later, I still can't help but adore this wonderful creation.
This album is one of those albums I could just listen to over and over again and not get tired of
there's something so special about you
you were made for this, no doubt in my mind.
definitely meant to happen, everything that led to you becoming flatsound
Just discovered you guys, and I just wanted to say I love your sound and look forward to listening to more in the future!
I love this entire album. So real. So raw.
Came to listen to one song, ended up listening to the entire album!
Ben Jacobs i ended up addicted.
I've been listening to this on repeat for five days straight... I'm absolutely in love with with your voice I can't get it out of my head
This album makes me tear up everytime i can't help it. My ex girlfriend played this album on her computer on the last day that we met that's why it really means a lot to me and that's the story of how I knew flatsound
I really enjoy this. It gives me a nostalgic feeling for whatever reason.
get them glasses off that pussycat!
this album became my home. i can come back to this after months and it still feels so safe. thank you mitch for creating this
this album is actually what drove me to make music
"are you still there, babe? ...guess not"
that hit me so hard, holy crap.
this is the only album that has brought me to tears and that's why i love it so much.
thank you, mitch
Beautiful. Simply completely beautiful
its been this way since the start, i need rest LMAO MY SECOND YEAR OF LISTENING TO THIS GORGEOUS LITTLE ALBUM
rarefiction Going on almost three now for me, I miss my friend so much that showed me this
so relaxing, beautiful, and relatable.
Thankyou for making this Mitch
This is so beautiful but so anxiety inducing.
Today is the 12th of January, 2019
And I’m listening to this album
Although it’s Saturday, not Thursday
i always find myself coming back to this album, whether im happy or so sad i can barely get up the motivation to blink or breathe or anything, its always beautiful
my brother insulted your music in the car so when we got home i flounced around listening to your music just to spite him, which made me feel better because your music is everything to me and i felt like he insulted a close friend. ly and you changed my life
This album gives me the chills along with painful nostalgia. Yet I still listen to it very often
Summer or Spring is my favorite thing you have ever done. EVER!
The song 'you know how to make a man feel useless' actually really scared me. If you listen with both headphones in, you'll understand what I mean. I just listened to it in the dark aswell and made me really anxious :/
same tbh i think i almost panic attacked
this is pure gold son
to see you alive reminds me so much of my experience at a hospital and it hurts so much honestly
Inspirational music. I tried to write some of my own poems while listening and after too. This album really makes me want to write and mess around with noises. Today is not as bad as it seems.
Was having a real hard time getting to sleep and I rediscovered this album in one of my playlists and it soothed me right to sleep and it was wonderful. I love when I can listen to what a song is saying and embrace it all, and feel at ease while doing so.
I love this whole album
this the perfect album to enjoy when being alone.
Ten years later and this album hits even harder with age. I used to fall asleep to this every night for about 6 months after it dropped. Those days are gone now
One of the last things my friend listened to before I lost him... Why do you have to be so sad >~< after listening for a while its oddly comfortable and retable...I miss my friend
owwwwww. Ahora tu amigo es una onda gravitacional o esta en el corazón de alguna estrella. no te apenes por él.
You're never alone. Even when you want to be
Jorge Montoya Pozada I translated this and from what I could pick out, that was beautiful, thank you :)
Sir Doctor Mister Sometimes I wish I was..But thank you Sir :)
I feel your pain. I lost a friend as well..i wish you the best
It's almost 6 years already. Still love this album! ❤
hard to believe this album is 7 years old. thank you for making this album, it always reminds me of fond memories.
10 damn
Just found you guys and i'm already obsessed
