people don't understand how much grief a person can walk around with, and still breathe.
I strongly felt this.... That's so true... Sad but true fact.. and no one knows except... YOU..... :(
@Nareynah Hey! You are a great singer!
Crazy isn't it?
Sometimes I sit in my room at night and play Keaton through my headphones at an unhealthy volume. It's what I need.
It’s something I’m guilty of. Definitely the saddest guilty pleasure I have.
It’s so strange cause it makes you feel tragic, but great? So difficult to explain.
spoke my mind there
Es solo el escape del alma a las emociones que no brotan!
right there with u
I understand why Keaton doesn't do interviews. Everything he sings is a beautiful insight to his heart.
But I really do wish his fans would not pressure him into anything. Like the rest of us, he's human. If this is a message of the end, allow this to be the end. We've had a beautiful few years and everything comes to a close.
aidan james couldn't have agreed more.
You're not human keaton, you're angel.. I'm speechless as always, your music makes me feel better, helps me in my depression. God bless you man
HforHany he is one of those artist that communicate every single emotion he have only singing, it's like magic
Diego León yessssss!!!
omg dont get me wrong, i love his music but it makes me even more depressed? idk but its still rly good
UglySweaterEnthusiast I get a mix of both. While it can make me so sad at times, when I'm really depressed it helps me feel. It helps me cry and understand and...be.

If you play the song in reverse you can hear "I'm just going outside and may be some time" repeated at the end (beginning when you reverse it). These are the final words of the antarctic explorer Capt Lawrence Oates as he left the tent. His death was seen as a self sacrifice because his ill health was compromising his three companions' chances of survival. I'm not sure what this means but, it's certainly interesting.
Couch Potato Thank you! I was really wondering what those cryptic lines were but don't know what that means here either. Maybe a break?
Yes thank you! I needed to know what that was saying.
There's a poem written about the line, which it's repeated four times. (I'm not sure how many times it's repeated in the song) But the poem writes of Capt Lawrence Oates' very English-gentlemanly goodbye (forever in that case). Which I suppose Keaton might be doing...
There's also a painting by John Charles Dollman titled A Very Gallant Gentleman which refers to Oates. I'm wondering if the line "The cold deep in my bones" is another nod to Oates in the song. Oates walking out into the cold was an act of self sacrifice, but in Keaton's case making music has been the act of self-sacrifice. Having to open up so many wounds and share them with the world, not to mention the anxiety of performing.
Here is the poem.
‘I am just going outside and may be some time.’
The others nod, pretending not to know.
At the heart of the ridiculous, the sublime.
He leaves them reading and begins to climb,
Goading his ghost into the howling snow;
He is just going outside and may be some time.
The tent recedes beneath its crust of rime
And frostbite is replaced by vertigo:
At the heart of the ridiculous, the sublime.
Need we consider it some sort of crime,
This numb self-sacrifice of the weakest? No,
He is just going outside and may be some time
In fact, for ever. Solitary enzyme,
Though the night yield no glimmer there will glow,
At the heart of the ridiculous, the sublime.
He takes leave of the earthly pantomime
Quietly, knowing it is time to go.
‘I am just going outside and may be some time.’
At the heart of the ridiculous, the sublime.
- Derek Mahon
This is what I think:
He sacrificed his life (creating music and now possibly stopping) so that we may have a better chance of surviving through life. I think having to pull along with him the weight of his depression and anxiety to give us music has come to a point where he can't do it anymore.
He needs a chance to breathe, and maybe, "In fact, forever."
(I use "possibly" and "maybe" in hopes that I am wrong.)
I love his music and will miss him greatly.
if this ends up being the end, i'm proud to say you'll be remembered for being one in a million. thank you. for all.
His songs peel back a layer of the most fragile corners of ones soul and rubs salt directly into the wounds, yet I come back everytime because it burns so good. He is something else.
that was truly beautiful
Keatones music is not for everyone it is for those who truly deeply hurt... His lyrics are not just random words that don't fit and they don't make any sense they are poems that speak to your soul and body he is voice is not just a voice it is a voice of a man who has more passion than all of the big pop "singers" combaing
Here's to you Keaton. You helped all of us try to breathe with your music.
you know keaton henson must have an amazing soul when he is that sad but still chooses to live. an army of problems point their guns against him but his beautiful eyes that he sees with are still just too much to let go of. i hope those soldiers march away for you one by one bro, i really do, and that you are left staring at a sunset over the empty battlefield.
Keaton,
You have inspired me to write. You have verbalized my thoughts before I had them. You have forced me to think. Forced me to feel, in the best way.
Thank you for everything, you are so important.
Violist99... you're the best comments
If he ends now I will cry knowing I will never get to see him live. But If it is the case then thank you soooo much, Keaton, for producing unparalleled masterpieces which will forever have a special place within me. Thank you!
Missing out on his concerts this year is probably one of the biggest regrets I've ever had. I should have driven out 6 hours to find him. It would have been so worth it
i remember i had alerts for his concerts. missed one by one day, and all the tickets were gone. heartbroken.
I agree 👍
""Epilogue"" is the end of a book in french. Please, don't let the end come, Keaton.
Hucyss I did get a kind of 'finale' feeling to this. Let's just hope it isn't :(
Hucyss it's not just that, the first song in Dear was "Prologue", it's like finally closing the circle...
Paula Robles López omg 😱😨😭
Ariana Kimball I hope so, but it doesn't feel as neat and fitting, you know what I mean?
I took this as meaning it's the Epilogue of Kindly Now.
If Keaton doesn't make any more music i'll be crushed!
I'm going to miss your music, your art, the way your lyrics touched my heart, the way you got into my soul, you have always made me cry, it's too bad that I never had the chance to see you live but it's ok I guess, cause your songs will remain in my memory.
I will always, always, love you.
Thanks for everything, you are one of a kind.
The man himself stirs up the pot of emotions again. Beautiful Keaton
This guy sings exactly what my soul is trying to scream.
Here's to me
I'm on the edge of my seat
Bound to fall
But I'm hoping you fall into me
Here's to us
Here's to the ties that I've cut
Along the way
Here's to the eyes that I've shut
Here's to my soul
Here's to the weight of my gold
Here's to the words that I've sold
Here's to the cold deep in my bones
Here's to my door
Here's to records that no one would pay for
Songs that I wrote and got laid for
Here's to the floor
Here's to the floor
Here's to my rent
Here's to the money I've spent on
Trying to do what I'm bent on
Trying to breathe
(inaudible)
Almost 6am here so if I got some of the lyrics wrong, please forgive me. Another sleepless night yet this made it all worth it
thank you so much!
Thank you 🖤✌🏽
Matt Helton thank you❤️
Matt Helton 💗
If this is the last song I hear from yours, i'm glad its one that brings me back to the beginning. It's beautiful and resonates as deeply as the first songs I heard so many years ago and I still constantly come back and listen to when i'm having a rough time. Your music has filled my mind in my darkest times and danced with me during my downfalls. I hope this isnt the last of you, but if it is I loved everything you have done.
KatieRoesch agreed if he leaves...truly that'll be an emotional day for me
KatieRoesch agreed if he leaves...truly that'll be an emotional day for me
KatieRoesch agreed if he leaves...truly that'll be an emotional day for me
KatieRoesch agreed! if he leaves...truly then that'll be an emotional day for me
but has he actually talked about no longer making music or are people just assuming he might quit music because of this song?
Oh god..... i hadnt understood the song as a goodbye... I'm feeling so sad all of a sudden... I saw him live in february and i can say his concert was one of the most beautiful and trully felt experience of my life, he is an amazing artist but i can see how much this affects him. It is like a curse, loving what you do cuz it keeps you going and gives a meaning to your existence but at the same time kills you slowly. The beauty about art is that it is about feelings and meanings and human nature and trying to express in other ways what it is so hard to express with simple words, but how to do it in this empty and capitalistic world when the only important things are the rankings and the sellings... the meaning get lost half way and i'm sure he knows this... We are all cowards hiding behind his music, because he is not afraid to scream what we are so scared to whisper... Why are we so afraid of feelings? of being vulnerable? of being weak? of asking and giving love? of being sad? what are we so scared of?......
Keaton, you are a beautiful soul, so deep as to drown in yourself, but you know we are not, we are the surface. so you sing it to us in raw words, just to see if maybe, just maybe it will get to us... so we don't have to guess or read between lines...
This is my cry to you, stay... stay a little longer, keep on singing all our feelings with your simple words so we wont feel alone, so we wont feel like we are the only ones. keep on filling our hearts with your "and's" and "the's".
Grow up with us Keaton.
I listened to the song and it felt sad but I didn't cry. Then I made my mother listen and told her the best part of the whole video were the comments left on it. I made the mistake of translating your comment to her and it was so good it made her cry which, in turn, made me cry. You managed to put into words everything that Mr Henson's music makes me feel. The sadness, the hope, the love...it was all in your comment so thank you for leaving it and allowing me to have such a moment with my mother.
It is kind of funny, you know? cuz when i left the comment i didnt feel like it explained at all what i feel about his music or mostly what he express with it... it is too deep as to be confusing, it reach the core of every feeling and therefore arrives to the core of yours , where everything is too dark to be understood, not dark because it is bad, but because it is so deep, the distillation of everythig: sadness, anxiety, fear, hope, love, loneliness, anger, everything hidden behind a little smile or a joke just to make it look like it is nothing. The less you feel, the more human you are, but shouldn't it be the other way around? what characterize humans are the feelings. So, I think listening to his music sometimes is hard, because he is so direct about showing his heart and thoughts that I get confused. Do other people really feel like that? I'm so used of pretending that i dont have feelings and other people neather.
Im glad the comment reach you and your mother, and hopefully it will also reach keaton as all the other comments, just so he knows that he is not alone. I hope he doesnt feel alone.
It would be sad, wouldn't it ? For him to feel alone when his music makes us feel so understood. Like someone is there to share all the feelings with us. I understand what you mean about how hard listening to his music can be. Because it touches feelings we don't really want to touch, I think it's the reason why his music makes me cry even though I don't really understand every nuance. In a world here being sensitive is not a good thing, it's hard to admit that something as abstract as music can hurt. I think that if anything, his music should teach us to be braver about feelings because there's nothing wrong with feeling, it's what makes us human. And that should be celebrated.
It is hard to be human in a world full of corpses... or is it the other way around? I'm not so sure anymore
Sillage You know...I keep coming back to this. To this song, this video, this comment. When you tie all of it together, you're swept with this overwhelming feeling of sadness and...fulfilment. I don't know if that makes sense but thank you. To you, and to Keaton.
Thank you, for all these years. For making me feel less alone in this world. Wherever you go, take care of yourself. I won't forget you, I promise.
They say you must be HAPPY and always think positive but I say you can be happy listening to SAD songs too. It's just another way of releasing the sorrow, the pain, the grief...the tears.When I listen to his music I feel sad , happy and relieved in the same time.
I hope you will never stop making music.
Keaton seems like such an interesting guy, he has so many thoughts and feelings, and he puts them into songs and poetry and art and makes some kind of mishmash story, and it's a story I never want to stop reading. I think I care about this guy, he's honest with what he does and what he created is always beautiful, he may have made mistakes or done things he shouldn't have but he's a great guy really, I think his honesty is extremely brave
So, this is the Epilogue. Be Kind.
I'm afraid of what I'm thinking about. Take my lungs, break my heart. Just don't leave us. Let me cite one of your lyrics
yeah I'm afraid what I'm thinking about too.
I swear to god this man is an angel. One of my all time favorite artists.
Keaton henson,how you can have such beautiful soul?

Anna Dalakishvili უგულო ხარ :დ
keaton has helped me in my life in so many ways that I could never repay him. the line about writhing songs and getting laid for them is what's happened to me. writhing songs for loves in my life then losing them in different ways then being left with just the art iv made at the end of the day. keaton understands so much. he feels love and emotions on a deep level like alot of us do. I love him for that.
And yes finally we realized that this song wasn’t the end of your music.. but the end of your old self.. something in you changed Keaton and you just impressed us with both of your old and new self.. please stay safe and keep making music, you’re the reason of keeping some us alive.
Your existence in this world is a gift, Keaton. Thank you. Thank you for making me feel. Thank you for touching my soul with your music.
Thank you.
another secret message at the end. you sly guy. what ever you are to bring out next -please release it on vinyl. its just so perfect.
Amy Loosley BE KIND 🖤
Is there another message in another video?
Ines Khiari yeah he's had a few secret messages. He has one in his 5 year book as well. You have to hold the book up to a mirror and read it.
+ a secret message in the backwards spoken part.
Keaton, please don't leave us.
I love his music videos, because they are not extravagant, they are real life. There isn't crazy edits and transitions in life, it's just stillness with briefs moments of living.
Artists like you make me want to listen to music forever and ever. This song and this whole entire universe is so beautiful. I hope i can make music as amazing as you can, Keaton.
Why does this feel like a goodbye? Please don't leave us Keaton!
I'm glad you are still showing us the music you make, Keaton. I will love you and your songs to the end. You are forever in my heart.
You are out of this world.
KEATON, once again. THANK YOU!!! 🙏🏽❤please don't ever stop making art & music. The world is a better place for having your artistry in it. Humbly thank you.
I discovered Keaton just yesterday and I binged all his songs and music videos and I instantly fell in love with his artistic poetic phrases and beautiful melodies and harmonies , he is unbelievably talented and his music resonates so much of my life, his music sonically made me feel.
Also , I read comments and they say since this is his Epilogue this could be the end. ✨ I really wish Keaton makes more music in future but for now I'd love for him to live. 💜
Here's to you, a living masterpiece... Your music never fails to move my soul
and here i am completely paralyzed for 6 minutes and 15 seconds. So beautiful
I'll always love his music. everything he writes is so beatiful, I can relate to every song and It feels like every song could have been write about my life.
Robert mullener Same here bro. His music is always with me on those lonely nights
liked it before I even saw it, because I know everything Keaton creates is a masterpiece.
Can't wait to be the person who gives this song 75% of it's views.
lol, will be a competition :v
That's cute, you think you're gonna win. Aww.
Fancy giving my video 75% of its views :P?
I got you, fam.
Zoe Alexandra much love
This is a piece of pure art.
In case you ever get to see this: Thank you for everything, our very dear Keaton Henson.
please don't go, Keaton.. :( Amongst all ur fans u no how much ur music means to us. However...if u're unhappy, if this is what you truly desire then I wish you well...we love you and wish you the best :) thank you Keaton
sincerely always will be, a fan
Amazing piece of art. The deepness of this is really beyond comprehension. Thank you.
What a treasure you are. Music today is blessed for such a talented person as you. I wish you could get more attention so more people could see you and find that peace you can provide. My best wishes for you. Thanks, Keaton.
This man's storytelling is pure genius.
Keaton is such an incredibly underrated artist
Dude, you describe every and each part of people's path. You're simply amazing and I'm so thankful to hear so many great songs, your art will take a lifetime to be understood, thank you, deeply!
thank you for existing. my existence feels better with yours.
So happy to see him and here this song. He is a gifted man, but his pain registers loudly through his art. I pray he knows how beautiful he his and continues to touch many. I can listen to his songs all day. He's so much more than his artwork.❤
Every song I hear from Keaton Henson I love soo much and I can listen to them all day... I like the little alterations to "trying to breathe", it gives a nice effect. Good job Keaton Henson :)
It's 7am and I wasn't prepared for this
I hate to see dislikes in this video
so beautiful!! ♥ I saw the notification and I freaked out! amazing work, and at the end "be kind"... just beautiful
But Keaton we are just getting started, please don't let it end here.
absolutely amazing, such a good artist, he never dissapoints
Keaton, you've been my favorite musician since I first discovered Birthdays on Spotify. Your music is the realest and rawest thing I've ever heard and you articulate emotions that exist but we don't have one perfect name for them. Thank you for all of the work you've put out into the world. You've demonstrated that songs don't have to be straightforward or commonly relatable to be beautiful and understood. You are an incredible artist. That being said, do whats best for you, because you've helped so many of us be happier people and you certainly deserve to finally be happy yourself. Much love.
Thank you for the music, for the art, for the emotion, for you.
His voice resonates through my ears and squeezes the pieces of my already broken heart. I am truly amazed by every single piece of art Keaton Henson creates. Breakups suck, but something about Keaton's Henson's perfectly sung lyrics give me a sense of..hope, in a tragic way.
if this is your goodbye keaeton, thank you for your openness and poetry. it would be impossible to forget you.
hey, is it only me wondering if Keaton will ever read some of our comments? If he will I would love to say him that we love him! ❤ and his music can change something in our lives and that's the real power of his sensibility.
During this shoot, its simplicity makes me feel very sentimentally excited about what happens during my life.
Keaton has been a massive part of my road to recovery from trauma and mental illness. His art has moved me since the day I started listening. I want to thank him and all of his followers, thank you for being kind. Thank you for creating, you have inspired me to create endless universes I never cease to expand on. Your music continues to inspire me, even years later. Be kind, everyone.
i just recently got into keaton henson's music and it has changed me.. he has brought change to my life. in an incredible way. beautiful language and messages in your music as well as an amazing voice. thank you for the music and feelings you have brought to us all.
I identify with your music because it's full of emotions really difficult to express, in my particular case I have a broken heart since a few months waiting that all the love that I know I can give someday it will be received and accept again and, maybe those days where the life was more beautiful come back to me and finally I can leave behind all this sadness and emptiness that I feel in this present. When I listen your music is like if someone understand this tortuous path and translate it in each musical note. Keep going, this is not a goodbye, all of us need you, your music is very special.
Tus demonios internos son tu fortaleza we are on the same boat.
Hopefully someday the sun shines again and we can get out of this shipwreck, far, far away from the storm ;)
I love you, Keaton.
YOU ARE MY FAV ARTIST. I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO KEATON ❤
god bless you Keaton ur so amazing
I love you keaton!!!!!!!
This is my first time hearing Keaton and I got that strange (but good) heart feeling
"I'm just going outside. I may be some time"
This is what he says in reverse around 5:10. From what I can discern these are the last words of someone named "Lawrence Oates". He was on an expedition on the Ross ice shelf in Antarctica with several other people. Fate had deemed that many of them died, Lawrence being one of the more unfortunate. Finding himself riddled with gangreen and frost bite he realized that in his state he was a liability and detriment to his friends and their chances of survival. He made a final decision to walk out of his tent to certain death in the icy winds. "I'm just going outside. I may be some time."
Lawrence knew his chances of survival were low. He also understood that leaving would raise the odds, if even slightly, for those he cared for. So he left, and to make sure no one worried he lied.
Goodbye Keaton
We love you
We forgive you
We won't forget you
Here's to Keaton, thank you so much for your art. ♡
no matter what,keaton henson never fails to make me cry
thank you, keaton, for sharing your masterpieces with us
xx
today is my birthday, what a wonderful gift! I really appreciated your art, Keaton. Please, continue. 💌
Katty Bo happy birthday and god bless you! :)
Gaby Echavarria Oh so sweet, you're the first person saying that 😂❤. Thank you, God bless you too.
Haha, thank you and have a wonderful day dear. ♥
happy birthdayyy
or should i say birthdayS
Keaton, you have no idea who I am, nor will you ever probably know.. However you have honestly helped me through some of the toughest times in my life so far.. Your music resonates with something inside me not even science can fathom. On the days I cant get out of bed, where I can barely breathe.. your music is a breath of fresh air, almost like an asthma inhaler, somewhat like these pills doctors force down your throat to keep living in this seemingly meaningless world. Expect the feelings your music provokes in me are true, unlike all these other masks we are forced to wear.. I hope you know, the impact your music and you as a whole have on so many of us who are struggling with so many diverse issues.. Honestly, whenever I see something new from you, it makes me jump up a little, feel a bit more alive in this sadistic world we live in. You are a voice for so many that have no voice, or are to afraid to express it. I hope you continue to make music, to express yourself with us all, but I understand if you cannot.
Moments in silence speak louder than the words we can form.
Keaton’s music makes me feel really independent when I’m sad or angry and feel like I need someone to help me. After listening to him I feel like I can carry on alone.
Eu estou me apaixonando gradativamente por tudo que esse homem produz, e é inacreditável pensar que é possível se identificar tanto com as palavras de outra pessoa. Eu me vejo em cada uma dessas músicas, me sinto grata por elas existirem, fico feliz só por ele existir.
Que coisa linda! 😍
Before I knew of Olafur Arnalds I listened to Keaton Henson to help channel the more somber and graceful aspects of my musical soul. I would love to see these 2 men collaborate. They live on similar musical planes IMO.
I'm crying rn and I don't even know what about. He makes me feel things so strongly. No words for this beauty.
Keaton Henson makes the music more beatiful. 🌸
I really hope this isn't the end of him making music...I'll buy his music
I hear from Paraguay and I can say that what you do goes beyond art, hopefully do not leave us, we love you
Yes.. ♡
so beautiful already
Pressed like before watching because i know keaton always makes good music
Usually new Keaton tracks take a while to grow on me, and they typically do so much that I listen to frequently. This track clicked immediately. It is very powerful on all fronts. The best component is how it seems to mix compositional and production elements from much of his past works. So soothing and melancholy. I don't see how this could be the end, he stills needs to come back to NYC :)
Keaton your music is beautiful! I love every song I will listen and take in every lyric. Please if you could make more music that'd be wonderful! But if you can't or do not have time I'd still always love your music. You're music is the most beautiful thing I've seen or listened to , music wise. Thank you for allowing me and a whole bunch of lovely people experience your music and listen to the lyrics that tell of your personal life.
Love Keaton's work. Very talented!
thank you keaton, just thank you
I cant help but notice the first song in his first album Dear is called 'Prologue' and this one is called 'Epilogue'... I hope you don't leave forever Keaton, but If you choose to do so, your music has helps me through difficult times, and will continue to do so ♥
So happy to hear him again 😌💕
I don't know what emotion this song made me feel, but I like it.
I listen to KH whenever I need to cry, and it works, and I need that. Nothing but love to a beautiful and old soul. Thank you for everything you've written.
Omg, your eyes says everything... I hope this doesn't mean the end of your career. Your music is sublime Keaton, don´t leave.
your music makes me so.. so at peace, ya know? im so happy. i love you!
