This may be one of my Top 10 Compliments of All Time. Thank you for fostering such a wonderful community that encourages creativity with unparalleled enthusiasm and positivity, and thank you for creating and sharing such meaningful content with all of us for so many years. I always look forward to every book, video, podcast and sock :)
Julia if you ever want to make a longer version or you want a clean version of the audio of the essay without the background music, just let me know. I can send it to you. sparksflyup -at- gmail. Thanks again. -John
We're here, because we're here, because we're here, because we're here We're here, because we're here, because we're here, because we're here RIP Amy, you are and will be to us the pink flower in the sidewalk daring us to believe in radical hope
Hey, thank you for making this. Ever since I heard John discuss Auld Lang Syne at the end of 2020, it stuck with me. I've been following Vlogbrothers for years, but his words about proclaiming *that* we are here stuck with me more than usual. They inspired me to write a short story for my husband, and I repeat them when my mental illness threatens to beat me. I repeated them today. Having a piece of music I can put on repeat while I go about my day, filled with the same bittersweet beauty as John's words, is just wonderful. This video is what I imagine would happen if someone were to convert the signals in my brain into sound. This is an absolute joy to hear, and it has elevated my day, and it has been the rope from which I have pulled myself out of a depressive spiral. So, thank you. You, and all of Nerdfighteria, are wonderful.
You put into words exactly what the Auld Lang Syne piece & this music mean to me as well (they also inspired me to write, too). Thank you for this comment -- I feel so similarly. The music is an absolute joy, indeed.
“This video is what I imagine would happen if someone were to convert the signals in my brain into sound.” What a beautiful sentence, and one that reflects my experience so absolutely as well.
Thank you for all the support and positivity on this video, it is overwhelming and I don't know how to express my gratitude. I'm happy to say that I WILL be making a longer version, but I would love for you to participate! I'm hoping to make a big choir of people singing "we're here because we're here" together to drift in and out of the background.

I love how positive Nerd Fighters are. This video currently has 6.2k views in a week with 1.4K likes and not a single dislike. Thanks so much for this masterpiece, Julia.
um oh my GOODNESS thank you for MAKING THIS. my partner introduced me to lofi and now there's a specifically NERFIGHTERIA lo-fi and i'm so EXCITED i've resorted to mostly-lowercase-with-emphasized-CAPS. thank you, thank you!
This is AMAZING. I had a really shitty New Years Eve, and listened to John's video, crying, across the threshold of midnight, and his essay made me feel less horrible. And this riff on it is just ... like... I have no words. The best parts of the internet and the community all wrapped up into a perfect little video that 100% needs to be an hour loop. Thank you so much for making this.
Thanks to Mathew Thompson in the comments teaching me how to loop a youtube video, I have been listening to this song for 4 hours and I regret nothing.
This makes me ridiculously joyful!! Thank you!! I was in that stream, and with how everyone was saying that John's soothing signing rhythm would make a great lo-fi beats or ASMR, I thought "There's a talented Nerdfighter who's gonna make one". But you went way beyond my/our wildest dreams on this. This is beautiful. Thank you for decreasing world suck.
auld lang syne has long been one of my favourite songs. it's always held emotional resonance for me. john's essay about it, and seeing the "we're here because we're here because" comments in the signing livestreams, has deepened that. I love this. thank you for this ❤️
We're here because we're here because we're here because we're here We're here because we're here because we're here because we're here We're here because we're here because we're here because we're here We're here because we're here because we're here because we're here
This is absolutely wonderful. It reminds me of some of my best New Year's Eve memories. Thank you for this! I'll be listening to it on repeat throughout the day. DFTBA
Omg I'm in love with this. If you ever want to make a longer version, I too would have it on a loop. I'm making* a video on my journey to find joy that prominently features the version of this episode that John posted on vlogbrothers. I think I might go finish and upload that today because of this. Thank you, for being here and making great art because you're here because you're here

@@JuliaGarbe1 I love your attention to detail in the animation! The cowlick and the awesome socks xD Amazing work!!!
You mean "just... perfect". There shouldn't be a space before the ellipsis.
@@jamesreads4713 not necessarily. I mean, technically, sure, but with the space it’s a different sort of pause.

The unclear voice does make it sound subtle but omnipotent and amazing and awesome and soothing and
@@JuliaGarbe1 So excited to seeing this happening!
This is an amazing development!
I gotta say I just noticed the extra long signature for adding a dftba/spiral towards the end and I really appreciate that extra little detail
O.O

Did not expect to tear up. But here we are.

Okay *sometimes* I love the internet. I'm going to need this on at least an hour long loop.
This video made me figure out how to loop a RUclips video.
Could I have a hand with that? :D
@@mueggsy just right click the video and select loop!
God bless
Thank you my man
I hope you're having a nice day :)

Have you thought about sharing your writing? If so, I'd like to read that story if it's not too personal.
Amazing!

I had an intense job interview the other day and I played this in the moments before. It calmed me down and reminded me I wasn't alone. thanks!
Glad to know it helped :)

Top tip to those who need it. If you right click the video you can set it to loop
I’ve been hiting ‘repeat’ so much... would love a longer version!
(and also maybe a version on spotify? 👀)

Right click on the video and press "loop" to automatically replay!
@@TropicalPhysics doesn’t work on mobile :/
@@chloeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I made a separate playlist with only this vid and put the playlist on loop. Hope it helps

This is so cute! All it needs is that pseudo drum beat john does while signing. The _swishawish thump pop_ .
Thank you for the idea! I added it to the hour-long version in some sections :)
I'm very happy this exists
Continuously tearing up.
This ‘bout to blow up
we're here because
...we're here because...
we're here because we're here because..
we're here because-
We're here because...

Thanks to whomever (Allison) dropped this in Thursday’s livestream chat. I heart it.
Just what I needed for some calm vibes on an anxious morning.
I cannot explain why this makes me weepy but here I am
I'm so glad John saw this! Super exciting

This is literally how I would imagine anime John. The tiny details are so great!
Right click and loop = infinite john lofi. Love this! only critique is that it's distracting me with its emotional perfection
Wow! This has brought a huuuge smile to my face! Thank you! :)
This makes me ridiculously joyful!! Thank you!!
