Everywhere at the End of Time is the only album that has ever truly kept me from sleeping before. I am a musician who looks into this stuff, and I am truly terrified.
My boyfriend is also a musician and he likes to discover new things, and this has stayed with him ever since he heard it. I’m too scared to listen to it myself!
The song sampled in "It's just a burning memory" is called Heartaches and it appears numerous times throughout the album. Apparently it's supposed to represent the person with dementia remembering their spouse which is why the song appears so much in the album. The list below shows the songs in the album that sampled Heartaches. - A1 It's just a burning memory - C3 What does it matter how my heart breaks - E2 And heart breaks - F4 Burning despair does ache - F5 Aching cavern without lucidity - F8 Mournful cameraderie This album was terrifying and beautiful at the same time. Listening to it was truly an experience and one I will never forget. This gets an IShitMyPants/10
@@The_Lost_And_Forgotten2009 I didn't include them simply because they are in the post awareness stages where the songs are half an hour long each and heartaches only appears for a few seconds
nothing scares me more than this album. i still havent heard the whole thing. the first time i heard about i had a week long depressive state. you would think that some horror movie or game would be the thing that keeps me up at night, but its that album.
I’ve only gotten about 2 and a half hours into it (months ago) because it caused me to have a depressive episode too. I already struggle a lot with depression, but it’s just so extremely unsettling to listen to that it put me in such a depressive state. I now have to make the effort to avoid the music from it (as the first song is popular as a meme) because it’s extremely triggering for me.
@@iamnotthatguy7166 seriously!! i can get sad pretty easily with sad sounding music (and have cried like a bitch in the right moods) but this was just boring idk maybe my adhd kicked in edit: not to disrespect the artist of course, but without the connection my brain didn't make it just becomes slow music that isn't in my taste at all, I get that others may experience it differently
My biggest regret was using the album as something to sleep too, I only listened to the first chapter of the song and thought it was nice, it made me feel calm and collected. I played the album somewhere around 11 pm and started to drift off into sleep, everything was good so far. Here’s the bad part, it was a dream, well more of a nightmare actually, I was strapped down to my bed, I couldn’t move or scream, I could only hear and see. What happened next felt so damn real, I remember most of it although I try not to, my belly area started to vibrate or move like when your about to sneeze, my organs bursted out, the pain I felt was horrible, I can’t really remember the rest besides trying to move again, when I woke up my pillow was wet with sweat, and the loud distorted music I heard in the middle of the night terrified me to no end because I was still half asleep, but it gets worse, I closed my eyes again while laying down by accident trying to stretch, I couldn’t move my body, and it felt like something was pressing against my back. I could finally move after a few seconds and I immediately turned off the music, I decided to stay up and watch RUclips for the rest of the night, this was like a few weeks ago.
@@alphaomega6801 dude i didn’t even listen to it at all, and i read the comments and just KNOWING about it kept me up all night. i’m not even joking i was scared as shit all night
I listened to the whole album, and it was worth it. It was my first experience, as a 16 year old, with true art. The ending to the music project actually made me cry, and then I had a much better grasp on what my grandmother had to go through.
For some context, i was 9 when my grandmother passed. Every time i talked to her at the hospice, she was slow but lightened up when she saw me. The last time I went, she didn’t recognise me, and asked stuff like “what’s your name? Where are you from?” I didn’t think much of it at the time, I just thought it was a funny game. But later I understood what happened, and after EATEOT “ Everywhere at the end of time “ I understood much better, what my grandmother went through for all those months.
My grandmother also went through dementia and now that I did many research about it I understand I terrifying it is my grandmother passed away in ends of 2021 and I was 14 then but it was the saddest day of my life and the worst but after learning about this I am actually tearing up
I think the people who made it are genius. The way they made it with melodies degrading overtime symbolising the different stages are done so well. I haven't listened to it the full way through because I just don't feel too moved by it and don't really feel interested in investing 6 hours of my time listening to random sounds. However, I respect the details throughout the piece because it really shows the depth of how you can create imagery through music. The mere fact that people have been truly scared by this is really something to admire from a creative point of view. It shows that music really is art and can provoke feeling and real emotion from people. It reminds me of that opening scene from the movie 'Up'; they are very similar in creativity and portraying real life situations. We don't get many other really provocative art pieces that are widely recognised, and these will be cherished.
I listened to it while my grandfather was going through Dementia. This album was a beautifully dark transcendence into what one could only begin to imagine dementia is like. The intro track alone broke me because not long before listening to it, the sample it uses (‘We’ll meet again’) was played on my (other-side) grandmother’s funeral. It is agony. It is bliss. It is everything you can remember, and then nothing you can comprehend by the end. It is the sound of your brain saying farewell to your body and soul. It really has a ‘your time has come’ energy to it, and while I love that it exists... I won’t be listening to it again. I do not recommend this on any substances, sleep deprivation etc. You need to be in a good place, and it will leave you in a shit one. Just make sure you have friends and/or family to talk to afterwards. This album had got me when I was dealing with losses, upcoming losses, winter covid (2020), amongst other things. It can decimate you if you’re unprepared. Regardless, to anyone with families going through the chaos that is dementia, my heart goes out to you all. It’s a bugger of an illness that’s for sure. For GD -- Rest in Piece mate. Love every memory I was blessed to shared with you. I hope I can keep them safe, and you have some way of reliving them in your own way, wherever you are now.

I listened to the entire project over a year ago, all in one sitting. It was a haunting, insightful, and emotionally painful experience, definitely the most impactful musical piece I've experienced. From what I can remember, I dont think I ate, spoke or hardly even moved during those 6 hours so this is not something that I recommend to most people, but I personally don't regret it having reached the end. It has hugely impacted the way I view the concept of dementia, or even consciousness itself. Its interesting to see new people rediscovering the project now, though I do understand how it impacted you, Jojo, so I hope you get through the other side of the depressive crash soon x
@@donkeykongisbetterthanmari7495 Honestly I listened to the project out of curiosity and fascination of psychology..... but Donkey Kong music is cool too
I’ve never thought about dementia like this before. I’ve heard stories from my family that before my great-grandmother died, she suffered with dementia but when little 2 year old me walked in, it’s like she came back because she would remember me everytime and she would never forget anything that happened with me. This video and the album helped me to realise what dementia truly feels like and how shocking it must of been for my family members to see my great-grandmother acting completely normal when I was around. To this day, I have no idea why she could remember me so well but I feel like it was a bittersweet thing that she could, like her last gift to her family members, her remembering her great-grandson.
Oh. Yeah. I've listened to the entire album and watched every video about it. It's a perfect window into the mind of a patient with Dementia even for people who've never met someone suffering from it. I had the... experience of living with my 90 year old grandpa for a few months towards the very end of his life... due to Alzheimer's. This was a year ago. For reference some months prior my Dad and his sister both went to visit him in another state where he lived, and found his living conditions were terrible. He'd started forgetting things, he'd started becoming paranoid, he'd even been threatening people's lives. They knew then he had to come to our state so we could watch over him. Oh boy did we not know the trouble we'd receive. Immediately upon arrival we found how bad he was. My best guess is that he was at stage 5 when we took him into our home. Those few months were full of stress and worry and pain for us, but nothing for him. His mind was leaving. Then in October of last year he had to be put into an assisted living home as we just couldn't take it anymore. They kept him happy and healthy (for a 90 year old guy) up until his passing. The night before he left, we visited him. He wasn't even responding at all, just an empty shell. Then like a lit candle, he was gone. Now you may read that and think "oh I'm so sorry" but don't be. To my Dad, he was a grumpy old man for his entire life. To my Aunt, he was a happy old man for most of his later life. To my cousins, he was their grandpa, and to me... he was the guy I'd only met 6 times in my entire life. The first 3 being when I was a baby. The 4th being when I was about 6 or 7. The 5th being when I was probably 12. And the last was the months I spent with him in our house, a man I barely knew who could almost remember who I was and even say my name rarely. The man I was told was a Drunkard, a Cheater, a Womanizer. The man who fought in the Korean war and barely came back the same. My Papa. I don't really miss him, mostly because what I knew of him was like what I know of some random person I could look up online. So don't feel sorry for me. Feel sorry for everyone who has to suffer through this awful disease. Even now my grandma, also on my Dad's side, is forgetting things rapidly. Stage 4. To end this story I have one piece of advice. Love the people you know while you can, even if you don't know them.
@@youdarechallengememortal7867 who are you 😐 I legit just looked through every single comment that this video had, looked through the library of babel, and I still can’t find who asked
Everywhere at the End of Time is truly disturbing. I'm 2019, my great grandmother, who was diagnosed with dementia, died and when I heard this album I had to pause it. It was one thing, being a person who spent years with her, even in sickness, but yet still being forgotten over and over again, but this made me feel what she felt and it made me so emotional. It truly is disturbing and scary for me
Most of if not all of my grandparents, have had dementia. Odds are that when I’m older il probably end up with it too. The look your loved one gives you when they forget you is heart breaking. Sorry you had to go through it too mate.
I remember listening to the entirety of EATEOT last year rather than paying attention to my classes. I was in a voice call with my friends as well and they were genuinely concerned for my mental health and well being because as I got deeper in I began going quiet and dissociating a lot. And since I heard the whole thing in one sitting it was just. A lot. And after that day everytime i heard or saw anything having to do with it I would avoid it like the plague. This is my first time interacting with anything having to do with it since that time and i still feel unnerved. Call me sensitive but it truly is a harrowing listen. Since I saw the notification that you uploaded I was curious and had not expected you to talk about it. But it helped me feel more at ease to interact with this album again, despite still feeling a bit weary. Thank you for talking about it!.
The first time I listened to EATEOT was at 12:16 AM… I don’t know what happend to me. I just was scared of everything black and white (Treadmills especially don’t ask) and I was crying and lost control
I’m glad there are other people who had this experience, this is also my first time revisiting it since I first saw it and it sent me on a spiral. I’m hoping that confronting it again will help
i remember a little less than a year ago i discovered it for the first time. i only got through the first 30 minutes but to this day “It’s Just a Burning Memory” haunts me whenever i hear it. i’m still too scared to listen to the rest and i don’t think i ever really want to. my family also has a very long history of dementia and my dad is already showing signs of it and i’m terrified i’m gonna get it one day too. dementia i think is truly my biggest fear
My Grandad has been suffering with dementia for years, and when you’re up close, its easy to forget to emotionally tune in. Its all about getting the person dressed, fed, taken care of, we don’t have the luxury of wondering how scared grandad might be day to day. This music project made me angry when I first listened, because I always wanted to ignore how horrible this disease is. Its very, very effective, the composer got it right, I cry a lot more since I looked into it.
To be honest I have never heard of this album before literally until now, and since I’m also a musician myself I would’ve gone my own way to listen to this musical project. But by the looks of the comments and you telling us that you honestly don’t recommend anyone to listen to it, I honestly don’t know if want to listen to it anymore because there’s still that little curious musical part of me that wants to listen to it. But won’t only because I don’t want it to make me feel the same way. This was a good learning experience though honestly! My prayers for anyone with this horrible disease! ✝️🙏🏼
Wendigoon did I great video about it where he listens to it straight and gives his honest reactions to what is happening. It’s haunting even second hand
Everywhere at the end of time at the end made me cry. It was the collection of songs that for some reason made it so coherent despite it sounding so dissonant from each other. It genuinely terrifies me how it represents dementia.
I remember this album, it’s one of the most sentimental albums I’ve heard. My grandmother unfortunately had this problem (luckily it wasn’t extremely severe but still was bad). She passed away this year and the album reminds of both a scary disease and the beauty of human life. Thanks jojo for covering this :)
its 12 in the morning and i was like oh! a new jojo video how nice! and when you gave a disclaimer on how this was disturbing or something i though nothing of it. but when you played that spongebob meme i swear to god that gave me a panic attack. i found out about dementia at a very young age and i just thought that everywhere at the end of time was just horrifying. now having that aside when everywhere at the end of time started to play i just felt a wave of emotion and all the memories, all the things i knew, and this very song that kept me up at night for months took me by surprise.
This shit actually scares me to the point I shed tears when I hear it sometimes. I don’t even know why, the music and the tone and the way it changes throughout the course of listening to it just freaks me out. It’s awful to think about and it panics me so much because of the changes.
Yeah music is powerful you do know why I think you don’t know what to call it or how to describe it even I was suprised when solipsism was the word for the weirdest feelings sometimes mentally not knowing of the dangers makes them more dangerous or maybe knowing can make it worse and it’s not even the music that creeps me out the most the fact you can forget so many things when you get older it’s very scary because I get it mixed up with dreams sometimes dreams I forget weither it was a dream I usually don’t stay away from it because of all the things I can learn but it’s not always scary once you do know
I genuinely love Everywhere at the End of Time. Like, its overall just such a good album. But with the added context of dementia, it is such a terrifyingly good piece of art and I just love it so fucking much. My life would not be the same without the album and I am so thankful that it exists.
The terrifying thing to me about dementia is that I could be in post-awareness hallucinating that I'm listening to one of your videos when I'm really slowly dying and I would never be able to remember long enough to remember. I think I'm really here but I can't be sure and that scares me
This album will forever chill me too my bones it makes my stomach twist and knot up and I practically break out in a cold sweat, I was genuinely so spooked when you started playing stage five, I didn’t wanna hear it again had to lower my volume so quickly. Just hearing the stage one song fills me with dred at this point . This album is magnificent in displaying dementia and truly terrifying in every other way imaginable (Edit sorry I meant stage 6 it was late and I was typing quick)
@@poppynoble167 yeah I know, in the end it’s just about mental maturity and fortitude. Some people are just better at living with the dread that this work gives.
I'm confused. I only recall the song off of the troll face meme. I'm not scared of the songs, rather just confused how people "experience dementia" through the song. Please reply explaining what im suppose to kno. Confused
Just wanted to say thank you Jojo. I’ve been a long time fan but normally never comment and I found this video, funny enough on a late night search for sleep. I’ve dealt with Alzheimer’s and scares with memory throughout my family tree on both sides and never dug into how or what they were truly feeling beyond the surface due to how much I value thinking and memory as a whole. It’s what defines us as separate entities from each other in my eyes and hearing about what it’s like to have that ripped slowly away is truly jaw dropping yet at the same time gave me some sort of peace with the loss of those loved ones. I really didn’t mean to be effected this much and I feel better for it, thanks again :)
Dude I wanna be friends with you so bad, you're probably the RUclipsr that to me seems the most genuinely likeable, down to earth, and just have such an amazing personality. It is INSANE how great you come off as. You just feel so genuine and true.
This album is the most amazing and unique piece of art I've ever experienced. When I heard the 1st song "it's just a burning momeory", I knew it was something special. It just made me feel nostalgic over nothing. Now after hearing it so many times it gives me anxiety because it just puts me in reality and I think about everything. Listening to the full album was just a terrible roller coaster that plummets you further and further into the horror of dementia.
I've worked in LTC as a student of medical Sciences and therapeutics and... that album unleashed a horrible revelation within just the first couple songs. I had to stop. It was a true primal fear. A fear of Dementia. Not in the "oh you have Dementia I fear you", no, it was the fear of being addled with Dementia, losing myself, my memory, all my personality, and becoming an empty husk that never knows what's truly wrong, but there's something... wrong. The death of the self, of who I am, of EGO. This album is dangerous, macabre, yet strangely beautiful and dreamy. Truly haunting. I've only finished it once. Never again.
I was in a hotel room about to leave Colorado in the morning. I watched Wendigoon’s video about “Everywhere at the end of time” and I was tearing up as I watched it. Ever since then and having watched more videos about it I am fascinated by it. Dementia is now one of my biggest fears
The fact that people are still talking about Everywhere At The End Of Time, even three years after its final release, goes to show how much of a modern masterpiece it is.
Everywhere at the end of time is literally the most life changing album I’ve ever listened to. Calling it an album doesn’t do it justice either so I normally refer it as an experiment, what that album made me feel is expressed in the 2,153 letter doc I made on my phone. This album left me speechless, terrified, heart broken and In actual pain that I couldn’t breathe out my nose from how much I sobbed. I imagined losing everyone I’ve ever met or loved and it broke me to pieces when I imagined forgetting who I am, during that time I was dealing with a break up so ig that’s why I hurt sm, but it changed my perspective of how I wanted to forget she ever existed cuz of all the anger, and now I don’t ever wish to forget any moment we shared. This truly changed it all for me
I feel like almost everyone I know has listened to that album when they were already going through a rough patch (death of a family member, or someone close is very ill/definitely will die (think cancer), break up, depression spike, injured themself, having a rough time with their friends, etc). I know it seems a weird thing to pick at but it seems like a strange coincidence that people find this soul crushing piece of art when they’re already in a more vulnerable state.
this is my first time hearing about the album in its entirety but i have heard of the “main song.” and knowing what is about has really got my thinking and understand dementia more. my great grandmother had it for about 3-4 months before she past. and i will always remember the day when i walked in to visit her and she didnt know who i was, and my mom had to tell her. nearly cried. after that it kept getting a lot worse to the point she couldnt even remember what was wrong with her and why she was in the place that she was at the time. she would only live for 3 days after it start to show how bad it really was. listening to you kinda explain it helped me realize how bad and scary dementia is. an even tho this made me feel sad and other emotions i dont know how to explain, this made me also feel a bit better cause i learned some crucial information. it helped me understand what my great grandmother went through. thank you jojo
I was introduced to this “project” in 2016. It was brought back to my attention to one of musician friends (I am also a musician) in late 2018 and I ended up sacrificing a whole day one summer to listen to the whole thing. I kinda have some experience listened to long pieces of music so this wasn’t a big deal to listen to. It’s very beautiful yet haunting. It has lot of empty space which makes it extremely difficult to get the full experience of “nothingness” due to external factors. If only I was able to rent out a small, soundproof booth to listen to this… If you ever end up reading this, I highly recommend the band Dream Theater. Relating to the topic of mental health, is the song “Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence” the 40 minute song, not the album. It goes through multiple mental illnesses like schizophrenia, PTSD, autism, and more. It’s a wonderful piece by a wonderful band! This band has opened my eyes and helped me mature and understand my life a lot a better.
@@neonlights_12 Yeah, exactly. My father is the same way. I played a couple songs and he seemed to only prefer the slower ballads over the more “proggy” and heavy ones.
I feel like this gives me the same unsettling vibe as the song from Disney’s UP “Married Life” where the song, which appeared so upbeat and vibrant in the beginning, slowly fades and washes away into a loneliness and emptiness. To say music is powerful is an understatement. I believe that music has the literal ability to temporarily control our lives by putting us into a perspective other than our own individual mind.
I am so happy that Everywhere at the End of Time is getting more recognition through memes. I remember my friends introducing me to the album back in mid 2019 (month or two after release) and listening to the whole thing with them at a potluck. It's very different to other music, but I would highly suggest listening to the whole thing if you feel up to it
i really had a bad experience with that album cause i tried to listen the entire album in one night, for some reason when I was falling asleep i got sleep paralysis and I had my headphones still in my hears so i was just there, in complete darkness, scared af with the stage 5 songs constantly playing. tbh i cant even express how bad was it, it felt like being actually in hell, in some sort of void, not knowing if u will ever get out
i genuinely love ''Its just a burning memory'' as a song in its self. dont get me wrong it is a very disturbing and depressing song but something about it seems so calm, peaceful and, free? or at least i think it does. i live in a small and old town in england which, at night, is very lit up with warm lights. i used to walk around at night in winter on my own after smoking *substance* and just listen to this song and i would feel so at peace and careless, quite an inexplainable feeling. to this day i still love to come back to this album/project every now and then, no other musical piece gives me goosebumps, unlike this
Never expected to see everywhere at the end of all time on this channel but props for looking into it deffinetly something very daunting to do both musically and emotionally
People don’t get dimensia symptoms until 20+ years later than they got it please get checked if it runs in your family. It can’t be treated 20 + years after it has started
I just finished my first year as a neuroscience major and dementia/Alzheimer’s/memory have been huge topics. one of my professors actually told us about this and how the project has stuck with her. I’m a big music lover as well (classical pianist check) but gosh am I terrified of this album
As someone who is finishing my major in neuroscience, I completely agree with dementia being a huge topic. Every paper I have taken has talked about dementia at some point briefely to it being like a weeks worth of lectures. I hope you keep going and enjoying the major!
Ok, this is my first time hearing about this and stuff. When you played Stage one in the background, Sadness just overcame me instantly. People could probably tell me I am weird, not everyone is going to feel the same way or have the same reaction towards everything, but I felt pure sadness and was so close to crying. My mind went back in time to when I would seethe outbreak of diseases, Cholera...etc on tv and stuff, the music just reminds me of one of those documentaries that make the situation much more serious and sadder than it was. But I would not listen to it, how interesting it sounds, I'd love to, but I am sensitive to music, if that makes any sense, I have been suicidal in the past, past as a few months ago but getting better and it would most likely trigger me, but thank you so much for sharing! If I do feel like listening one day, I would try my best. Unfortunately, I cannot at this time, but I really thank you for sharing this. Also, yes the music does sound like that old time kind of waltz music. And when hearing music like this, it really really takes me back to those moments of all the sad, past events what were historical and devastating. Music is really like a language, we learn to read, write, explain it, perform it, Music can tell stories with actions or just by itself and for someone to make music like this for example is truly a masterpiece. It was composed in such a way, to make us feel how terrible it is to have a friend or family member that is going through this. I keep editing the comment to explain better.
Thanks for uploading on this channel way more recently, it's nice to see the non-asmr side of you. This is a tough topic, try to keep your moods up everyone, have a great day!
Art so truthful & beautiful yet terrifying is a new form of creative work I've never experienced in my life. I could not finish the album, it made me genuinely feel sad and terrified. I never would have imagined I'd feel almost depressed for a few days after listening to half of it. This album definitely unlocks a primal fear almost as if I was in "fight or flight" mode trying to get away from this 'thing' that's inevitable. This album is most definitely not for the faint of heart.
I'm terrified of dementia. My great grandfather suffered from it, his daughter, my grandmother is suffering from it, and I'm scared that my dad will suffer from it and that my brothers and I will too. It was heartbreaking as a kid, I would always recieve birthday letters from my grandma, she always made me feel special and when they suddenly stopped I felt so sad. And after almost 10 years, I was finally able to see her because we live so far, she didn't really recognize me, or which one of her kids I belonged too. And then covid happened and she lives across the country, now being taken care of in a nursing home. Before she went there she was barely hydrating, barely eating, and not even remembering how to change her clothes. Now, I've heard that she's doing better in the nursing home but she does different things than she used to, she's picked up cursing and smoking. I just know she probably doesn't even know who I am right now and I wish I could see her but I've never been across the country and can't afford it :c
I’ve studied everywhere at the end of time, the first time I heard the track I knew something was off especially the first track “It’s just a burning memory” just by the components, the slowness of the song, the way it’s been toned down, and the static (I always hated the static because I’ve had mental issues where when I’m not in a good state all I hear in my brain is static) the music isn’t the only thing the art also progressively gets more and more distorted, there’s a video on the entire project that was really helpful I wish I could link it but I’m not good with that stuff plus I barely remember it, and about how memory loss as a whole being one of the scariest thing to think about, I have a horrible time with losing people, and thinking about forgetting everyone everything I love and myself is just horrible, I wish the best to those suffering from it and anyone who knows someone close with it, everywhere at the end of time is a show case of how scary it truly is to have dementia, Stay safe out there everyone.
Everywhere at The End of Time made me feel something that I have never felt before... relaxed, calm and at peace, yet at the same time anxious and afraid it's such a weird feeling... Strangely the first few songs i find made me feel sadder, how it all sounds so good yet one day would just be gone... than the rest which were pretty much noise felt oddly relaxing, where nothing really makes sense anymore yet being able to recognize familiar melodies lifts me up, but dragged down as soon that it's gone
i’ve known about this album for about 2 years now and it crosses my mind so often. i was writing a paper for school early this year and listened to this album a lot while writing, because i’m genuinely fascinated by it. everytime i got to stage 3 i kept replaying it from the beginning though. because yeah, you know why. an extremely disturbing, scary and devastating piece of art
The fact that both of my grandparents had dementia, makes these albums feel more like reality. I am truly afraid for what comes in my forthcoming future.
Good news is its not 100% you will get it studies have shown that having someone in your family with dementia only increases the odds by. 30% which means it has like a 70% chance that you won't get it.
Listened to this album in full one night in 2020… by the end of the sleepless night I was in such a state of exhaustion thatI could hear stages five and six playing as though it were playing from speakers around my room. I could hear it all around me and it felt so real it was truly horrifying
When I first heard and listened to the album, my blood felt like it was like, evaporating or something. I cant describe it, but it felt terrifying to hear it. I haven't got into any other stages but from the looks of the comments, (especially stage 5) I'm actually kind of scared to hear it again. The music made me so paranoid that I couldn't sleep at all. My parents had to help me sleep by sleeping with me. (I'm 14, by the way. I know, sounds childish but I swear, I couldn't get out of bed whenever I listened to it.) But, from what I hear the album is extremely beautiful and amazing. I pray that I won't get dementia in the future.
On my first listen of EATEOT, I cried like a baby at the 'bliss states' of Stage 4 and 6. Stage 6 in particular made me break down completely. Even listening to it months later draws out a deep sorrow within me that I truly can't explain.
@@Poogio-m7c i haven’t listened to the full thing, only some, but even that terrified me so bad. it might just be bc dementia is something that is common in my family and it’s always scared me, but it just made me shut down for weeks. i was obsessed with it in a very bad way to the point where i couldn’t think about anything else even if i tried. it took a while to get over that, but even now i still get anxious just listening to that song that was in the meme he showed. i know to a lot of people it sounds weird to be scared of it bc it’s “just music” but when you really think about it, it’s replicating the feeling of having dementia, which is something so horrifying that it truly cannot be described in words. i hope this helped sorry if it didn’t
None of my family members has suffered from dementia. Although I've worked three summers as a care assistant in a nursing home for people with dementia, and I feel blessed and lucky that it's not something running in my family. You get used to meet those patients, you get used to them forgetting you, forgetting where they are or why they're there. Of course they're not just sitting around being miserable they can enjoy things too, and sometimes on good days they even remembered us working there, and could tell us stories from their youth. But when you really think about it it's a dark, dark thing to not remember your life, your purpose or your friends. What life is that?
Beautiful project on one hand, I even made a whole video in the Backrooms on it, cause I think they fit it. It‘s more than terrifying on the other I must say, thanks for bringing this more near to me, really thank you for this video. I never knew the real background on it, so that‘s why you helped out alot. Thumbs up!
I don't know why but when i listened to the whole 6 hour piece i didn't really feel anything, i would say 90% of the reason people find it unsettling is the typically unnatural, sort of slowed down and melancholic tone of it. Otherwise from the latter half of stage 3 it's basically white noise.
I tried to listen to this but it made me extremely nervous, I was sweating and my body had like a static effect. I felt uncomfortable and like something was watching me. Maybe it affected me this way due to my mental health being extremely bad.
Ive never hear of everything at the end of time before. When you played the spongebob meme clip i found myself wanting to skip the video because the music was scary so to find out what it was actually about freaked me out even more. Im confused if i should be horrified or impressed. The fact that someone could make music so terribly accurate that it could give me discomfort without even knowing context is just amazing. I will definitly not be watching the 6 hour piece lol because i am terrified and want to delete this from my memory, but the creator is increadibly talented and i idk i have no words
Why is this terrifeing? Its beautiful clinging to those last memorys is scary i get that but those memorys are important to you thats what makes it beautiful
I know what it's like to be in that sterile rut where you just can't seem to focus or be productive, and you feel like you're robbing yourself of quality-used time, and you find your emotions being more drawn to art of the absurd or the dark. I just want you to know that every creative mind goes through this, and you almost forget when you're in it that it's happened before and it'll happen again, but it is normal, and sooner or later some random impetus will hit you and you'll be eager about all kinds of projects. Keep truckin' JoJo, the greatest artists in the world take weeks off, know what you want to achieve and your mind will always serve you well.
As someone who lives with someone with dementia, it really is horrifying and sad. A lot of times I’ll see my grandma wander around the house wondering where she is, before forgetting what she was thinking about. The most painful thing I have experienced going through this with her, is when I brought food into her room, and she smiled and said a ‘thank you’ before she asked, ‘who are you?’. I cannot even begin to describe the heartache I felt when I processed the question. All I can say is, appreciate the loved ones you have now, so you won’t wish you did when they go, mentally or physically.
Upon hearing the music track in that 3 am video, I immediately recognized it from the "Mr. Incredible becoming uncanny" meme. Thank you for bringing this utterly dreadful project to light. It's truly a work of art.
i’ve had quite a great time recently, but this video has put me in such a horrified state that i don’t even know what to say. that song literally made me feel like i got dementia, like i was slowly decaying into history. uh, stay safe out there guys, and may god bless each and every one of you
At first I thought the 6 hour song / album changed my life for a few months, but after listening to it for what it seems like every school day. I have gotten really over it and I even made a playlist that extended it, since I saw that Kirby has more stuff that sounds just like EATEOT I felt like adding them just to give myself I guess a "challenge".
My boss's wife has dementia and Alzheimer's. I really feel my boss really empty and devastated. I really feel something everytime I listen to this song
I'm terrified of this too. I get sad listening to this, knowing it has taken family members before their time. I can only hope that technology and medicine are better before it's time for me to roll the dice.
My Pop was affected with dementia, it’s a horrible disease, one day he would wake up and not remember us, and he just became something else, this brought a tear to my eye watching and listening that they put this in a kids show such a SpongeBob
That's popped up a couple times in my recommendations. The extensive length turned me off of it (because who has 6+ hours for that?) but I'm kind of glad I haven't watched or listened to it before now. You've provided me with a "heads-up", as it were, for what I would've gotten myself into. Definitely good to know before diving headlong into possible mental and emotional terror.
My dad had cancer and I was his full time caregiver. He developed dementia from an overdose of radiation and the trauma of watching him haunts me every day. I went on to become a caregiver for others with dementia after his passing. I tried my best but didn’t last too long…. I’ve listened to this album. I have cried harder than I knew possible. It’s hard to breathe even thinking about it. It’s so rare people bring up dementia in a way that is serious showing how severe it is to those around them. From my experience most people with dementia don’t know enough to understand what is happening, but the family around them gets demolished for a lifetime. Thank you for covering this.
geniunely a horrifying song/album. dementia and alzheimer’s is horrifying and having a 6 hour sample of what it is like is just depressing, haunting, and gives me anxiety thinking of if me or my family will come upon it someday. really makes me feel so much in a small period of time. the last 2 stages are haunting, goes from absolute silence, the occasional sound here or there, then trumpets, almost peace in silence (death). horrific.
I've seen the Spongebob meme before. It was made by my favorite meme RUclipsr too. I love The Caretaker's pleasant way of portraying classical music as some mental illness.
What a coincidence. I recently learned it was an album and listened to some. I was deeply disturbed. I realized and became scared for my grandmother. She has dementia and I have no idea what she’s going through.
This kept me up at night today and i can’t even explain what happed to me to the point I had to go to therapy to fix me and I’m still haunted by this and I can’t leave my head
Dementia is really something you can’t describe properly. My Grandma actually passed away just 2 days ago, and she was also diagnosed with Dementia. She was not the same anymore, because due to the pandemic, her mental health was rapidly declining. We tried to stay with her as much as possible, but she couldn’t remember us. It’s truly a gutting thing. She died from natural causes, but I’ll never forget how sad it is to see someone you care, that she doesn’t remember you or your family.
I’ve seen this album everywhere on the internet now and I’m really curious to give it a listen but also terrified of how it’ll affect me and my mental health :(
I Always long to listen to this album again but I get extremely anxious before each listen. Then you listen and feel warm but weird impending sense of doom. But it feels comfortable. After listening I can be sleeping and be awoken by this music playing very loudly and clearly in my head, and I can't sleep again until I get really tired. And the more you listen, the more haunting it gets. And it wants you to listen again and again and again and again.
Don't listen to it, not even once. Don't click on it. Someone sent it to me, and I went down a rabbit hole, and it messed with me so bad that I had intense heart palpitations every time I even thought about it or saw it in my recommended...I literally had to install a video blocker extension to block it from ever coming into my recommended again. It is a touching work, but I severely recommend that you ignore any curiosity or urges to listen to it.
Like 2 seconds into the SpongeBob clip I just knew it was from Everywhere at The End of Time. I listened to almost the whole album, I sadly got busy and couldn't finish the last 20 mins. It's a beautifully tragic work of art. So interesting to see you talk about this 💕
From a family with dementia as a common trait in our later years, this album is horrifying. Made me miserable thinking of what my grandparents went through before they passed.
People really overreact to this, it's getting to the point of overrated. It's not that bad unless you're sitting there pushing your own thoughts into darker and darker places as you listen to it
I see what you mean, but I think for some people who have had family members who endured (and perished) from Dementia, it's more personal. Weird how one of us in these comments will one day have Dementia, and that is fucking horrendous. The idea of losing your very mind to itself is just... fucked.
I feel like this music is really haunting to people who are really into music. It's just more haunting if you're very passionate and technical about music. Listening to the original song then listening to the distorted versions of the song... The ambience of the song puts you in a box in the beginning, while the songs progress, the echoes and reverbs make it feel like the box you're in is getting bigger and the songs you heard are just disappearing from your memory until they are no more. And the beginning song will forever be a burning memory to you. The effects on the song are just super haunting especially if you suffering from some existential crisis. The way it can play in my head so loud and clear when I'm sleeping in the night is just so messed up
It's just in ppl's heads. Someone has said 'oh it represents dementia' and this just forces ppl to think in that way. If it was made and they said 'it's about 'water' then ppl would think in that way' It's just forced thoughts. I listened to it and felt nothing, it's just sad music, and if you think sad then you will be sad. Just got to get a grip
I haven’t listen to the full song, but I won’t. Even just watching the meme on this video got me on the verge of about to throw up. It took two hours before I could feel normal. Edit: it is now 11:32 pm so almost midnight. I can’t sleep at all
Dementia/Alzheimer’s runs in my family and pretty much all my older relatives eventually have got it. Somehow that comforts me, idk why, maybe the fact that I just know it’s probably gonna happen to me. The thing that makes me laugh till I cry now is in this past year I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder that’s known to effect your memory. Ever since then I’ve been a mess 😂 remembering things has never been harder, I’ll forget what I’m doing in the middle of doing it or in the middle of talking. and things like memorizing stuff for school, or my sisters bday. I’m not saying it’s in Any way its same as dementia because it’s not, I just loved the irony of my situation. And i laugh about it a lot.
recently i listened to the entire thing again with my mum and still got to me a little, but nothing will compare to the first full listen (i done on new years with my cousin) that final bit got me crying for 15 mins straight and the next cpl days afterwards i just was so fucking taken back. such a beautiful haunting masterpiece.
For anyone interested, Nexpo explained about this song explaining the different stages. It was the first time I get to learn about it. I do believe at some point of time me or my dad might get struck by this.
My grandmother has dementia and its pretty fuckin horrible watching her mental state decay. The outburst, the lulls, the aggression, lethargy... last time we talked she asked me if i was afraid. If I felt trapped. If I... "needed to escape this place". She repeated her question exactly as she spoke it the first time. And then she looked off into the distance and said "Help me." It's heartwrenching.
Everywhere at the End of Time is the only album that has ever truly kept me from sleeping before. I am a musician who looks into this stuff, and I am truly terrified.
My boyfriend is also a musician and he likes to discover new things, and this has stayed with him ever since he heard it. I’m too scared to listen to it myself!
@Raytheslay respectfully didn’t ask to your unwanted opinion + don’t care.
Everywhere at the End of Time messed me up.
Idk if you took what that person said personally, but I greatly appreciate your opinion.
@@heyitsme9378 same
The song sampled in "It's just a burning memory" is called Heartaches and it appears numerous times throughout the album. Apparently it's supposed to represent the person with dementia remembering their spouse which is why the song appears so much in the album. The list below shows the songs in the album that sampled Heartaches.
- A1 It's just a burning memory
- C3 What does it matter how my heart breaks
- E2 And heart breaks
- F4 Burning despair does ache
- F5 Aching cavern without lucidity
- F8 Mournful cameraderie

I literally listened to some of that album today and researched dementia because of it and now I’m seeing this
dude when i listened to the first one I always wanna weeeeeeee out the window
nothing scares me more than this album. i still havent heard the whole thing. the first time i heard about i had a week long depressive state. you would think that some horror movie or game would be the thing that keeps me up at night, but its that album.
@Raytheslay why are you commenting on every comment? are you ok? why are you being a keyboard warrior
All this album gave me was a sore back, people need to stop hyping this album up FR
I’ve only gotten about 2 and a half hours into it (months ago) because it caused me to have a depressive episode too. I already struggle a lot with depression, but it’s just so extremely unsettling to listen to that it put me in such a depressive state. I now have to make the effort to avoid the music from it (as the first song is popular as a meme) because it’s extremely triggering for me.
@Raytheslay how tf did a literal toddler get onto youtubd
@@iamnotthatguy7166 seriously!! i can get sad pretty easily with sad sounding music (and have cried like a bitch in the right moods) but this was just boring idk maybe my adhd kicked in
edit: not to disrespect the artist of course, but without the connection my brain didn't make it just becomes slow music that isn't in my taste at all, I get that others may experience it differently
My biggest regret was using the album as something to sleep too, I only listened to the first chapter of the song and thought it was nice, it made me feel calm and collected. I played the album somewhere around 11 pm and started to drift off into sleep, everything was good so far. Here’s the bad part, it was a dream, well more of a nightmare actually, I was strapped down to my bed, I couldn’t move or scream, I could only hear and see. What happened next felt so damn real, I remember most of it although I try not to,
my belly area started to vibrate or move like when your about to sneeze, my organs bursted out, the pain I felt was horrible, I can’t really remember the rest besides trying to move again, when I woke up my pillow was wet with sweat, and the loud distorted music I heard in the middle of the night terrified me to no end because I was still half asleep, but it gets worse, I closed my eyes again while laying down by accident trying to stretch, I couldn’t move my body, and it felt like something was pressing against my back. I could finally move after a few seconds and I immediately turned off the music, I decided to stay up and watch RUclips for the rest of the night, this was like a few weeks ago.
Dang
That genuinely sounds terrifying
that is horrifying
oh hell no, welp guess I should be glad none of my dreams are realistic...
Jesus, that sounds horrible
I remember learning about this album and I've been wary of it since. It's just something you can't forget once you know what it is, pretty spooky.
Well I’m gonna figure out what it is, wish me luck!
@@alphaomega6801 dude i didn’t even listen to it at all, and i read the comments and just KNOWING about it kept me up all night. i’m not even joking i was scared as shit all night
W pfp
“Just something you can’t forget” hmmmmmmmm…
Mehh nothing spooky about it
I listened to the whole album, and it was worth it.
It was my first experience, as a 16 year old, with true art.
The ending to the music project actually made me cry, and then I had a much better grasp on what my grandmother had to go through.
For some context, i was 9 when my grandmother passed.
Every time i talked to her at the hospice, she was slow but lightened up when she saw me.
The last time I went, she didn’t recognise me, and asked stuff like “what’s your name? Where are you from?” I didn’t think much of it at the time, I just thought it was a funny game.
But later I understood what happened, and after EATEOT “ Everywhere at the end of time “
I understood much better, what my grandmother went through for all those months.
Im so sorry for what your grandmother had to go through. Dementia is an extremely scary disease. I hope you are feeling better now
My grandmother also went through dementia and now that I did many research about it I understand I terrifying it is my grandmother passed away in ends of 2021 and I was 14 then but it was the saddest day of my life and the worst but after learning about this I am actually tearing up
I think the people who made it are genius. The way they made it with melodies degrading overtime symbolising the different stages are done so well. I haven't listened to it the full way through because I just don't feel too moved by it and don't really feel interested in investing 6 hours of my time listening to random sounds. However, I respect the details throughout the piece because it really shows the depth of how you can create imagery through music.
The mere fact that people have been truly scared by this is really something to admire from a creative point of view. It shows that music really is art and can provoke feeling and real emotion from people. It reminds me of that opening scene from the movie 'Up'; they are very similar in creativity and portraying real life situations. We don't get many other really provocative art pieces that are widely recognised, and these will be cherished.
It was only one dude, and he made it digitally! Crazy, right?
yeahh the caretaker is a legendary musician; he’s a genius for being able to depict dementia in such a fascinating way
Great speech my young son 👏
@@beatbox_battle1253 it’s good but he didn’t make it 100% since it’s sampled but still impressive shit
Leyland Kirby made it.
I listened to it while my grandfather was going through Dementia. This album was a beautifully dark transcendence into what one could only begin to imagine dementia is like. The intro track alone broke me because not long before listening to it, the sample it uses (‘We’ll meet again’) was played on my (other-side) grandmother’s funeral.
It is agony. It is bliss. It is everything you can remember, and then nothing you can comprehend by the end. It is the sound of your brain saying farewell to your body and soul. It really has a ‘your time has come’ energy to it, and while I love that it exists... I won’t be listening to it again. I do not recommend this on any substances, sleep deprivation etc. You need to be in a good place, and it will leave you in a shit one. Just make sure you have friends and/or family to talk to afterwards. This album had got me when I was dealing with losses, upcoming losses, winter covid (2020), amongst other things. It can decimate you if you’re unprepared.
Regardless, to anyone with families going through the chaos that is dementia, my heart goes out to you all. It’s a bugger of an illness that’s for sure.
For GD -- Rest in Piece mate. Love every memory I was blessed to shared with you. I hope I can keep them safe, and you have some way of reliving them in your own way, wherever you are now.

I listened to the entire project over a year ago, all in one sitting. It was a haunting, insightful, and emotionally painful experience, definitely the most impactful musical piece I've experienced.
From what I can remember, I dont think I ate, spoke or hardly even moved during those 6 hours so this is not something that I recommend to most people, but I personally don't regret it having reached the end. It has hugely impacted the way I view the concept of dementia, or even consciousness itself.
Its interesting to see new people rediscovering the project now, though I do understand how it impacted you, Jojo, so I hope you get through the other side of the depressive crash soon x

I listened to the whole album during one of the last days of high school, your description is right on par man.
I’ve never thought about dementia like this before. I’ve heard stories from my family that before my great-grandmother died, she suffered with dementia but when little 2 year old me walked in, it’s like she came back because she would remember me everytime and she would never forget anything that happened with me. This video and the album helped me to realise what dementia truly feels like and how shocking it must of been for my family members to see my great-grandmother acting completely normal when I was around.
To this day, I have no idea why she could remember me so well but I feel like it was a bittersweet thing that she could, like her last gift to her family members, her remembering her great-grandson.
Oh. Yeah. I've listened to the entire album and watched every video about it. It's a perfect window into the mind of a patient with Dementia even for people who've never met someone suffering from it. I had the... experience of living with my 90 year old grandpa for a few months towards the very end of his life... due to Alzheimer's. This was a year ago. For reference some months prior my Dad and his sister both went to visit him in another state where he lived, and found his living conditions were terrible. He'd started forgetting things, he'd started becoming paranoid, he'd even been threatening people's lives. They knew then he had to come to our state so we could watch over him. Oh boy did we not know the trouble we'd receive. Immediately upon arrival we found how bad he was. My best guess is that he was at stage 5 when we took him into our home. Those few months were full of stress and worry and pain for us, but nothing for him. His mind was leaving. Then in October of last year he had to be put into an assisted living home as we just couldn't take it anymore. They kept him happy and healthy (for a 90 year old guy) up until his passing. The night before he left, we visited him. He wasn't even responding at all, just an empty shell. Then like a lit candle, he was gone. Now you may read that and think "oh I'm so sorry" but don't be. To my Dad, he was a grumpy old man for his entire life. To my Aunt, he was a happy old man for most of his later life. To my cousins, he was their grandpa, and to me... he was the guy I'd only met 6 times in my entire life. The first 3 being when I was a baby. The 4th being when I was about 6 or 7. The 5th being when I was probably 12. And the last was the months I spent with him in our house, a man I barely knew who could almost remember who I was and even say my name rarely. The man I was told was a Drunkard, a Cheater, a Womanizer. The man who fought in the Korean war and barely came back the same. My Papa. I don't really miss him, mostly because what I knew of him was like what I know of some random person I could look up online. So don't feel sorry for me. Feel sorry for everyone who has to suffer through this awful disease. Even now my grandma, also on my Dad's side, is forgetting things rapidly. Stage 4.
To end this story I have one piece of advice. Love the people you know while you can, even if you don't know them.

Everywhere at the End of Time is truly disturbing. I'm 2019, my great grandmother, who was diagnosed with dementia, died and when I heard this album I had to pause it. It was one thing, being a person who spent years with her, even in sickness, but yet still being forgotten over and over again, but this made me feel what she felt and it made me so emotional. It truly is disturbing and scary for me

I remember listening to the entirety of EATEOT last year rather than paying attention to my classes. I was in a voice call with my friends as well and they were genuinely concerned for my mental health and well being because as I got deeper in I began going quiet and dissociating a lot. And since I heard the whole thing in one sitting it was just. A lot. And after that day everytime i heard or saw anything having to do with it I would avoid it like the plague. This is my first time interacting with anything having to do with it since that time and i still feel unnerved. Call me sensitive but it truly is a harrowing listen. Since I saw the notification that you uploaded I was curious and had not expected you to talk about it. But it helped me feel more at ease to interact with this album again, despite still feeling a bit weary. Thank you for talking about it!.
damn bro this is my first time listening to it and i’m deeply disturbed. i hope god can heal both of us from this horrible “plague”
*a lot
The first time I listened to EATEOT was at 12:16 AM… I don’t know what happend to me. I just was scared of everything black and white (Treadmills especially don’t ask) and I was crying and lost control
I’m glad there are other people who had this experience, this is also my first time revisiting it since I first saw it and it sent me on a spiral. I’m hoping that confronting it again will help
i remember a little less than a year ago i discovered it for the first time. i only got through the first 30 minutes but to this day “It’s Just a Burning Memory” haunts me whenever i hear it. i’m still too scared to listen to the rest and i don’t think i ever really want to. my family also has a very long history of dementia and my dad is already showing signs of it and i’m terrified i’m gonna get it one day too. dementia i think is truly my biggest fear
My Grandad has been suffering with dementia for years, and when you’re up close, its easy to forget to emotionally tune in. Its all about getting the person dressed, fed, taken care of, we don’t have the luxury of wondering how scared grandad might be day to day. This music project made me angry when I first listened, because I always wanted to ignore how horrible this disease is. Its very, very effective, the composer got it right, I cry a lot more since I looked into it.
who knew a silly spongebob meme could mean something so eerie, wow.
You’ll find a lot of that on r/distressingmemes
It gets genuinely existential.
@@atch300 they’re kinda hidden and normalised

To be honest I have never heard of this album before literally until now, and since I’m also a musician myself I would’ve gone my own way to listen to this musical project. But by the looks of the comments and you telling us that you honestly don’t recommend anyone to listen to it, I honestly don’t know if want to listen to it anymore because there’s still that little curious musical part of me that wants to listen to it. But won’t only because I don’t want it to make me feel the same way. This was a good learning experience though honestly! My prayers for anyone with this horrible disease! ✝️🙏🏼
i recommend it if you're okay with eerie sounds.
I love the way it sounds, I've been consuming music my whole life and there is definitely nothing else like this out there
Wendigoon did I great video about it where he listens to it straight and gives his honest reactions to what is happening. It’s haunting even second hand
Everywhere at the end of time at the end made me cry. It was the collection of songs that for some reason made it so coherent despite it sounding so dissonant from each other. It genuinely terrifies me how it represents dementia.
This song gets me scared for my life I just start crying because dementia is so scary to me. Crying right now. Thanks for shedding some light on this.
I remember this album, it’s one of the most sentimental albums I’ve heard. My grandmother unfortunately had this problem (luckily it wasn’t extremely severe but still was bad).
She passed away this year and the album reminds of both a scary disease and the beauty of human life. Thanks jojo for covering this :)
its 12 in the morning and i was like oh! a new jojo video how nice! and when you gave a disclaimer on how this was disturbing or something i though nothing of it. but when you played that spongebob meme i swear to god that gave me a panic attack. i found out about dementia at a very young age and i just thought that everywhere at the end of time was just horrifying. now having that aside when everywhere at the end of time started to play i just felt a wave of emotion and all the memories, all the things i knew, and this very song that kept me up at night for months took me by surprise.
This shit actually scares me to the point I shed tears when I hear it sometimes. I don’t even know why, the music and the tone and the way it changes throughout the course of listening to it just freaks me out. It’s awful to think about and it panics me so much because of the changes.
Yeah music is powerful you do know why I think you don’t know what to call it or how to describe it even I was suprised when solipsism was the word for the weirdest feelings sometimes mentally not knowing of the dangers makes them more dangerous or maybe knowing can make it worse and it’s not even the music that creeps me out the most the fact you can forget so many things when you get older it’s very scary because I get it mixed up with dreams sometimes dreams I forget weither it was a dream I usually don’t stay away from it because of all the things I can learn but it’s not always scary once you do know
I genuinely love Everywhere at the End of Time. Like, its overall just such a good album. But with the added context of dementia, it is such a terrifyingly good piece of art and I just love it so fucking much. My life would not be the same without the album and I am so thankful that it exists.
The terrifying thing to me about dementia is that I could be in post-awareness hallucinating that I'm listening to one of your videos when I'm really slowly dying and I would never be able to remember long enough to remember. I think I'm really here but I can't be sure and that scares me
Wow
Holy crap man, new fear unlocked +1
There's a typo in there and now that I've seen it it will haunt me forever
.
thats all i have to say "."
In a solipsistic position, a person only believes their mind or self is sure to exist. Solipsism, technically, is an extreme form of skepticism.
bro I just looked up asmr 😭😭
Same
I just wanted to watch asmr to go sleep then this pops up
This showed up probably because this youtuber has a asmr channel
This album will forever chill me too my bones it makes my stomach twist and knot up and I practically break out in a cold sweat, I was genuinely so spooked when you started playing stage five, I didn’t wanna hear it again had to lower my volume so quickly. Just hearing the stage one song fills me with dred at this point . This album is magnificent in displaying dementia and truly terrifying in every other way imaginable
(Edit sorry I meant stage 6 it was late and I was typing quick)
Bro it wasn’t that bad

@@strawman7428 It's a subjective experience. Many people will feel more moved than others especially due to the fact that it is a song.
@@poppynoble167 yeah I know, in the end it’s just about mental maturity and fortitude. Some people are just better at living with the dread that this work gives.
I'm confused. I only recall the song off of the troll face meme. I'm not scared of the songs, rather just confused how people "experience dementia" through the song. Please reply explaining what im suppose to kno. Confused
Just wanted to say thank you Jojo. I’ve been a long time fan but normally never comment and I found this video, funny enough on a late night search for sleep. I’ve dealt with Alzheimer’s and scares with memory throughout my family tree on both sides and never dug into how or what they were truly feeling beyond the surface due to how much I value thinking and memory as a whole. It’s what defines us as separate entities from each other in my eyes and hearing about what it’s like to have that ripped slowly away is truly jaw dropping yet at the same time gave me some sort of peace with the loss of those loved ones. I really didn’t mean to be effected this much and I feel better for it, thanks again :)

Dude I wanna be friends with you so bad, you're probably the RUclipsr that to me seems the most genuinely likeable, down to earth, and just have such an amazing personality. It is INSANE how great you come off as. You just feel so genuine and true.
This album is the most amazing and unique piece of art I've ever experienced. When I heard the 1st song "it's just a burning momeory", I knew it was something special. It just made me feel nostalgic over nothing. Now after hearing it so many times it gives me anxiety because it just puts me in reality and I think about everything. Listening to the full album was just a terrible roller coaster that plummets you further and further into the horror of dementia.
my grandpa had dementia when i was younger, and this album absolutely ruined me. i just saw my grandpa within the song. heartbreaking
I've worked in LTC as a student of medical Sciences and therapeutics and... that album unleashed a horrible revelation within just the first couple songs. I had to stop. It was a true primal fear.
A fear of Dementia. Not in the "oh you have Dementia I fear you", no, it was the fear of being addled with Dementia, losing myself, my memory, all my personality, and becoming an empty husk that never knows what's truly wrong, but there's something... wrong. The death of the self, of who I am, of EGO.
This album is dangerous, macabre, yet strangely beautiful and dreamy. Truly haunting.
I've only finished it once. Never again.
I was in a hotel room about to leave Colorado in the morning. I watched Wendigoon’s video about “Everywhere at the end of time” and I was tearing up as I watched it. Ever since then and having watched more videos about it I am fascinated by it. Dementia is now one of my biggest fears
The fact that people are still talking about Everywhere At The End Of Time, even three years after its final release, goes to show how much of a modern masterpiece it is.
Everywhere at the end of time is actually scary
@Raytheslay shut up
@Raytheslay your parents dont love you stop spam commenting
It sounds so sad and it feels like it would be in Captain Americas haunted dream that Scarlett Witch causes in Age if Ultron
but with that out of the way i totally agree that song is terrifying
@Raytheslay bro you are 7 what are you doing on RUclips, go play with buildings blocks or some shit.
Everywhere at the end of time is literally the most life changing album I’ve ever listened to. Calling it an album doesn’t do it justice either so I normally refer it as an experiment, what that album made me feel is expressed in the 2,153 letter doc I made on my phone. This album left me speechless, terrified, heart broken and In actual pain that I couldn’t breathe out my nose from how much I sobbed. I imagined losing everyone I’ve ever met or loved and it broke me to pieces when I imagined forgetting who I am, during that time I was dealing with a break up so ig that’s why I hurt sm, but it changed my perspective of how I wanted to forget she ever existed cuz of all the anger, and now I don’t ever wish to forget any moment we shared. This truly changed it all for me
I feel like almost everyone I know has listened to that album when they were already going through a rough patch (death of a family member, or someone close is very ill/definitely will die (think cancer), break up, depression spike, injured themself, having a rough time with their friends, etc). I know it seems a weird thing to pick at but it seems like a strange coincidence that people find this soul crushing piece of art when they’re already in a more vulnerable state.
this is my first time hearing about the album in its entirety but i have heard of the “main song.” and knowing what is about has really got my thinking and understand dementia more. my great grandmother had it for about 3-4 months before she past. and i will always remember the day when i walked in to visit her and she didnt know who i was, and my mom had to tell her. nearly cried. after that it kept getting a lot worse to the point she couldnt even remember what was wrong with her and why she was in the place that she was at the time. she would only live for 3 days after it start to show how bad it really was. listening to you kinda explain it helped me realize how bad and scary dementia is. an even tho this made me feel sad and other emotions i dont know how to explain, this made me also feel a bit better cause i learned some crucial information. it helped me understand what my great grandmother went through. thank you jojo
I was introduced to this “project” in 2016. It was brought back to my attention to one of musician friends (I am also a musician) in late 2018 and I ended up sacrificing a whole day one summer to listen to the whole thing. I kinda have some experience listened to long pieces of music so this wasn’t a big deal to listen to.
It’s very beautiful yet haunting. It has lot of empty space which makes it extremely difficult to get the full experience of “nothingness” due to external factors. If only I was able to rent out a small, soundproof booth to listen to this…
If you ever end up reading this, I highly recommend the band Dream Theater. Relating to the topic of mental health, is the song “Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence” the 40 minute song, not the album. It goes through multiple mental illnesses like schizophrenia, PTSD, autism, and more. It’s a wonderful piece by a wonderful band! This band has opened my eyes and helped me mature and understand my life a lot a better.
Dream Theater are master musicians. It's a shame they aren't more well regarded and studied because "eh it's that loud metal stuff".
@@neonlights_12 Yeah, exactly. My father is the same way. I played a couple songs and he seemed to only prefer the slower ballads over the more “proggy” and heavy ones.
I feel like this gives me the same unsettling vibe as the song from Disney’s UP “Married Life” where the song, which appeared so upbeat and vibrant in the beginning, slowly fades and washes away into a loneliness and emptiness. To say music is powerful is an understatement. I believe that music has the literal ability to temporarily control our lives by putting us into a perspective other than our own individual mind.
“Dementia is something I wouldn’t wish upon even my worst enemy”
An immaculate statement my friend
I am so happy that Everywhere at the End of Time is getting more recognition through memes. I remember my friends introducing me to the album back in mid 2019 (month or two after release) and listening to the whole thing with them at a potluck. It's very different to other music, but I would highly suggest listening to the whole thing if you feel up to it
This gave me the big chills doesn't help that I watched this at 1:00am
1:15 That cut genuinely gave me goosebumps.
same dude, lmao
Yeah after that my brain felt weird and I got goosebumps

i really had a bad experience with that album cause i tried to listen the entire album in one night, for some reason when I was falling asleep i got sleep paralysis and I had my headphones still in my hears so i was just there, in complete darkness, scared af with the stage 5 songs constantly playing. tbh i cant even express how bad was it, it felt like being actually in hell, in some sort of void, not knowing if u will ever get out
I had a state of loss of motivation, as my mind was just focused on this one horrifying song. I hated it
The end of time is actually a super weird and scary music yet creative and well made
i genuinely love ''Its just a burning memory'' as a song in its self. dont get me wrong it is a very disturbing and depressing song but something about it seems so calm, peaceful and, free? or at least i think it does. i live in a small and old town in england which, at night, is very lit up with warm lights. i used to walk around at night in winter on my own after smoking *substance* and just listen to this song and i would feel so at peace and careless, quite an inexplainable feeling. to this day i still love to come back to this album/project every now and then, no other musical piece gives me goosebumps, unlike this
Never expected to see everywhere at the end of all time on this channel but props for looking into it deffinetly something very daunting to do both musically and emotionally
People don’t get dimensia symptoms until 20+ years later than they got it please get checked if it runs in your family. It can’t be treated 20 + years after it has started
I just finished my first year as a neuroscience major and dementia/Alzheimer’s/memory have been huge topics. one of my professors actually told us about this and how the project has stuck with her. I’m a big music lover as well (classical pianist check) but gosh am I terrified of this album
As someone who is finishing my major in neuroscience, I completely agree with dementia being a huge topic. Every paper I have taken has talked about dementia at some point briefely to it being like a weeks worth of lectures. I hope you keep going and enjoying the major!
Ok, this is my first time hearing about this and stuff. When you played Stage one in the background, Sadness just overcame me instantly. People could probably tell me I am weird, not everyone is going to feel the same way or have the same reaction towards everything, but I felt pure sadness and was so close to crying. My mind went back in time to when I would seethe outbreak of diseases, Cholera...etc on tv and stuff, the music just reminds me of one of those documentaries that make the situation much more serious and sadder than it was. But I would not listen to it, how interesting it sounds, I'd love to, but I am sensitive to music, if that makes any sense, I have been suicidal in the past, past as a few months ago but getting better and it would most likely trigger me, but thank you so much for sharing! If I do feel like listening one day, I would try my best. Unfortunately, I cannot at this time, but I really thank you for sharing this. Also, yes the music does sound like that old time kind of waltz music. And when hearing music like this, it really really takes me back to those moments of all the sad, past events what were historical and devastating. Music is really like a language, we learn to read, write, explain it, perform it, Music can tell stories with actions or just by itself and for someone to make music like this for example is truly a masterpiece. It was composed in such a way, to make us feel how terrible it is to have a friend or family member that is going through this. I keep editing the comment to explain better.
Thanks for uploading on this channel way more recently, it's nice to see the non-asmr side of you. This is a tough topic, try to keep your moods up everyone, have a great day!

Art so truthful & beautiful yet terrifying is a new form of creative work I've never experienced in my life. I could not finish the album, it made me genuinely feel sad and terrified. I never would have imagined I'd feel almost depressed for a few days after listening to half of it.
This album definitely unlocks a primal fear almost as if I was in "fight or flight" mode trying to get away from this 'thing' that's inevitable.
This album is most definitely not for the faint of heart.
I'm terrified of dementia. My great grandfather suffered from it, his daughter, my grandmother is suffering from it, and I'm scared that my dad will suffer from it and that my brothers and I will too. It was heartbreaking as a kid, I would always recieve birthday letters from my grandma, she always made me feel special and when they suddenly stopped I felt so sad. And after almost 10 years, I was finally able to see her because we live so far, she didn't really recognize me, or which one of her kids I belonged too. And then covid happened and she lives across the country, now being taken care of in a nursing home. Before she went there she was barely hydrating, barely eating, and not even remembering how to change her clothes. Now, I've heard that she's doing better in the nursing home but she does different things than she used to, she's picked up cursing and smoking. I just know she probably doesn't even know who I am right now and I wish I could see her but I've never been across the country and can't afford it :c
Just focus on living a life worth remembering :)
@@TheMightySilverback_ thank you, I'll do my best :)

I’ve studied everywhere at the end of time, the first time I heard the track I knew something was off especially the first track “It’s just a burning memory” just by the components, the slowness of the song, the way it’s been toned down, and the static (I always hated the static because I’ve had mental issues where when I’m not in a good state all I hear in my brain is static) the music isn’t the only thing the art also progressively gets more and more distorted, there’s a video on the entire project that was really helpful I wish I could link it but I’m not good with that stuff plus I barely remember it, and about how memory loss as a whole being one of the scariest thing to think about, I have a horrible time with losing people, and thinking about forgetting everyone everything I love and myself is just horrible, I wish the best to those suffering from it and anyone who knows someone close with it, everywhere at the end of time is a show case of how scary it truly is to have dementia, Stay safe out there everyone.
Everywhere at The End of Time made me feel something that I have never felt before... relaxed, calm and at peace, yet at the same time anxious and afraid it's such a weird feeling...
Strangely the first few songs i find made me feel sadder, how it all sounds so good yet one day would just be gone... than the rest which were pretty much noise felt oddly relaxing, where nothing really makes sense anymore yet being able to recognize familiar melodies lifts me up, but dragged down as soon that it's gone
i’ve known about this album for about 2 years now and it crosses my mind so often. i was writing a paper for school early this year and listened to this album a lot while writing, because i’m genuinely fascinated by it. everytime i got to stage 3 i kept replaying it from the beginning though. because yeah, you know why. an extremely disturbing, scary and devastating piece of art
Its so considerate of you to put a warning at the beginning of every video with a heavier topic. We love ya jojo
The fact that both of my grandparents had dementia, makes these albums feel more like reality. I am truly afraid for what comes in my forthcoming future.
Same man... my grandma has really bad dementia and its truly scary...

Good news is its not 100% you will get it studies have shown that having someone in your family with dementia only increases the odds by. 30% which means it has like a 70% chance that you won't get it.
Listened to this album in full one night in 2020… by the end of the sleepless night I was in such a state of exhaustion thatI could hear stages five and six playing as though it were playing from speakers around my room. I could hear it all around me and it felt so real it was truly horrifying
I love Everywhere at the End of Time.
When I first heard and listened to the album, my blood felt like it was like, evaporating or something. I cant describe it, but it felt terrifying to hear it. I haven't got into any other stages but from the looks of the comments, (especially stage 5) I'm actually kind of scared to hear it again. The music made me so paranoid that I couldn't sleep at all. My parents had to help me sleep by sleeping with me. (I'm 14, by the way. I know, sounds childish but I swear, I couldn't get out of bed whenever I listened to it.) But, from what I hear the album is extremely beautiful and amazing. I pray that I won't get dementia in the future.
On my first listen of EATEOT, I cried like a baby at the 'bliss states' of Stage 4 and 6. Stage 6 in particular made me break down completely. Even listening to it months later draws out a deep sorrow within me that I truly can't explain.
I had the same reaction. I started crying and I had no idea why
Bro what explain
@@Poogio-m7c i haven’t listened to the full thing, only some, but even that terrified me so bad. it might just be bc dementia is something that is common in my family and it’s always scared me, but it just made me shut down for weeks. i was obsessed with it in a very bad way to the point where i couldn’t think about anything else even if i tried. it took a while to get over that, but even now i still get anxious just listening to that song that was in the meme he showed. i know to a lot of people it sounds weird to be scared of it bc it’s “just music” but when you really think about it, it’s replicating the feeling of having dementia, which is something so horrifying that it truly cannot be described in words. i hope this helped sorry if it didn’t
@@transgendy ah I see. I've never met anyone with dementia so I couldn't relate. And I also have photo memory with everything. Hope all is well for u
None of my family members has suffered from dementia. Although I've worked three summers as a care assistant in a nursing home for people with dementia, and I feel blessed and lucky that it's not something running in my family. You get used to meet those patients, you get used to them forgetting you, forgetting where they are or why they're there. Of course they're not just sitting around being miserable they can enjoy things too, and sometimes on good days they even remembered us working there, and could tell us stories from their youth. But when you really think about it it's a dark, dark thing to not remember your life, your purpose or your friends. What life is that?
What life, indeed.
Demintia seems worse than death.
Beautiful project on one hand, I even made a whole video in the Backrooms on it, cause I think they fit it. It‘s more than terrifying on the other I must say, thanks for bringing this more near to me, really thank you for this video.

I don't know why but when i listened to the whole 6 hour piece i didn't really feel anything, i would say 90% of the reason people find it unsettling is the typically unnatural, sort of slowed down and melancholic tone of it. Otherwise from the latter half of stage 3 it's basically white noise.
Yes it is, 1/4 is eerie and the rest is experimental. But the overall topic is sad, which is Dementia.
I tried to listen to this but it made me extremely nervous, I was sweating and my body had like a static effect. I felt uncomfortable and like something was watching me. Maybe it affected me this way due to my mental health being extremely bad.
@@idealgiant1495drama queen
Ive never hear of everything at the end of time before. When you played the spongebob meme clip i found myself wanting to skip the video because the music was scary so to find out what it was actually about freaked me out even more. Im confused if i should be horrified or impressed. The fact that someone could make music so terribly accurate that it could give me discomfort without even knowing context is just amazing. I will definitly not be watching the 6 hour piece lol because i am terrified and want to delete this from my memory, but the creator is increadibly talented and i idk i have no words
Same when he started playing the SpongeBob meme I was actually scared
I’m still scared
And I’m not easily scared
Why am I listening to this at 3am I'm shitting myself.
I put my feet under my blanket
Why is this terrifeing? Its beautiful clinging to those last memorys is scary i get that but those memorys are important to you thats what makes it beautiful
I know what it's like to be in that sterile rut where you just can't seem to focus or be productive, and you feel like you're robbing yourself of quality-used time, and you find your emotions being more drawn to art of the absurd or the dark. I just want you to know that every creative mind goes through this, and you almost forget when you're in it that it's happened before and it'll happen again, but it is normal, and sooner or later some random impetus will hit you and you'll be eager about all kinds of projects. Keep truckin' JoJo, the greatest artists in the world take weeks off, know what you want to achieve and your mind will always serve you well.
As someone who lives with someone with dementia, it really is horrifying and sad. A lot of times I’ll see my grandma wander around the house wondering where she is, before forgetting what she was thinking about. The most painful thing I have experienced going through this with her, is when I brought food into her room, and she smiled and said a ‘thank you’ before she asked, ‘who are you?’. I cannot even begin to describe the heartache I felt when I processed the question. All I can say is, appreciate the loved ones you have now, so you won’t wish you did when they go, mentally or physically.
Upon hearing the music track in that 3 am video, I immediately recognized it from the "Mr. Incredible becoming uncanny" meme. Thank you for bringing this utterly dreadful project to light. It's truly a work of art.
I loved the E1 track Back There Benjamin, idk why i just loved it
i’ve had quite a great time recently, but this video has put me in such a horrified state that i don’t even know what to say. that song literally made me feel like i got dementia, like i was slowly decaying into history. uh, stay safe out there guys, and may god bless each and every one of you
i don’t know if i’ll ever be the same after knowing this album. god help us
This video came out 3hrs ago and the musical piece is around 7hrs
Yeah I bless you bro this makes me sad
At first I thought the 6 hour song / album changed my life for a few months, but after listening to it for what it seems like every school day. I have gotten really over it and I even made a playlist that extended it, since I saw that Kirby has more stuff that sounds just like EATEOT I felt like adding them just to give myself I guess a "challenge".
My boss's wife has dementia and Alzheimer's. I really feel my boss really empty and devastated. I really feel something everytime I listen to this song
Glimpses of the album keep popping into my head and killing my vibe. I kind of wish I hadn't have listened to it honestly.
I'm terrified of this too. I get sad listening to this, knowing it has taken family members before their time. I can only hope that technology and medicine are better before it's time for me to roll the dice.
My Pop was affected with dementia, it’s a horrible disease, one day he would wake up and not remember us, and he just became something else, this brought a tear to my eye watching and listening that they put this in a kids show such a SpongeBob
That's popped up a couple times in my recommendations. The extensive length turned me off of it (because who has 6+ hours for that?) but I'm kind of glad I haven't watched or listened to it before now. You've provided me with a "heads-up", as it were, for what I would've gotten myself into. Definitely good to know before diving headlong into possible mental and emotional terror.
My dad had cancer and I was his full time caregiver. He developed dementia from an overdose of radiation and the trauma of watching him haunts me every day. I went on to become a caregiver for others with dementia after his passing. I tried my best but didn’t last too long….
I’ve listened to this album. I have cried harder than I knew possible. It’s hard to breathe even thinking about it.
It’s so rare people bring up dementia in a way that is serious showing how severe it is to those around them. From my experience most people with dementia don’t know enough to understand what is happening, but the family around them gets demolished for a lifetime.
Thank you for covering this.
geniunely a horrifying song/album. dementia and alzheimer’s is horrifying and having a 6 hour sample of what it is like is just depressing, haunting, and gives me anxiety thinking of if me or my family will come upon it someday. really makes me feel so much in a small period of time. the last 2 stages are haunting, goes from absolute silence, the occasional sound here or there, then trumpets, almost peace in silence (death). horrific.
I've seen the Spongebob meme before. It was made by my favorite meme RUclipsr too. I love The Caretaker's pleasant way of portraying classical music as some mental illness.
What a coincidence. I recently learned it was an album and listened to some. I was deeply disturbed. I realized and became scared for my grandmother. She has dementia and I have no idea what she’s going through.
This kept me up at night today and i can’t even explain what happed to me to the point I had to go to therapy to fix me and I’m still haunted by this and I can’t leave my head
what would you tell your therapist about this?
The brain is so scary.
It’s unsettling, but I’m not shivering in my boots and screaming.
Dementia is really something you can’t describe properly. My Grandma actually passed away just 2 days ago, and she was also diagnosed with Dementia. She was not the same anymore, because due to the pandemic, her mental health was rapidly declining. We tried to stay with her as much as possible, but she couldn’t remember us. It’s truly a gutting thing. She died from natural causes, but I’ll never forget how sad it is to see someone you care, that she doesn’t remember you or your family.
I’ve seen this album everywhere on the internet now and I’m really curious to give it a listen but also terrified of how it’ll affect me and my mental health :(
Me too
You'll be fine, it's insightful but I'm not too sure how people have been affected THAT badly by it.
I’ve listened to the full 6 hrs, it’s not bad it’s just made to depict a person with dementia
I Always long to listen to this album again but I get extremely anxious before each listen. Then you listen and feel warm but weird impending sense of doom. But it feels comfortable.
After listening I can be sleeping and be awoken by this music playing very loudly and clearly in my head, and I can't sleep again until I get really tired.
And the more you listen, the more haunting it gets. And it wants you to listen again and again and again and again.
Don't listen to it, not even once. Don't click on it. Someone sent it to me, and I went down a rabbit hole, and it messed with me so bad that I had intense heart palpitations every time I even thought about it or saw it in my recommended...I literally had to install a video blocker extension to block it from ever coming into my recommended again. It is a touching work, but I severely recommend that you ignore any curiosity or urges to listen to it.
Imagine
Just heard the first seconds and i now know that this is a very big sad moment
Like 2 seconds into the SpongeBob clip I just knew it was from Everywhere at The End of Time. I listened to almost the whole album, I sadly got busy and couldn't finish the last 20 mins. It's a beautifully tragic work of art. So interesting to see you talk about this 💕
From a family with dementia as a common trait in our later years, this album is horrifying.
Made me miserable thinking of what my grandparents went through before they passed.

I see what you mean, but I think for some people who have had family members who endured (and perished) from Dementia, it's more personal. Weird how one of us in these comments will one day have Dementia, and that is fucking horrendous.
The idea of losing your very mind to itself is just... fucked.
I feel like this music is really haunting to people who are really into music. It's just more haunting if you're very passionate and technical about music. Listening to the original song then listening to the distorted versions of the song... The ambience of the song puts you in a box in the beginning, while the songs progress, the echoes and reverbs make it feel like the box you're in is getting bigger and the songs you heard are just disappearing from your memory until they are no more.
And the beginning song will forever be a burning memory to you. The effects on the song are just super haunting especially if you suffering from some existential crisis.
The way it can play in my head so loud and clear when I'm sleeping in the night is just so messed up
That’s exactly why it terrifies people .-.
It's just in ppl's heads. Someone has said 'oh it represents dementia' and this just forces ppl to think in that way. If it was made and they said 'it's about 'water' then ppl would think in that way'
It's just forced thoughts.
I listened to it and felt nothing, it's just sad music, and if you think sad then you will be sad. Just got to get a grip
I never get tingles from ASMR but music always gives me tingles, I got them again with this video but in the worse way possible 💀
💀💀💀💀💀💀
I haven’t listen to the full song, but I won’t. Even just watching the meme on this video got me on the verge of about to throw up. It took two hours before I could feel normal.
Edit: it is now 11:32 pm so almost midnight. I can’t sleep at all
Dementia/Alzheimer’s runs in my family and pretty much all my older relatives eventually have got it. Somehow that comforts me, idk why, maybe the fact that I just know it’s probably gonna happen to me. The thing that makes me laugh till I cry now is in this past year I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder that’s known to effect your memory. Ever since then I’ve been a mess 😂 remembering things has never been harder, I’ll forget what I’m doing in the middle of doing it or in the middle of talking. and things like memorizing stuff for school, or my sisters bday. I’m not saying it’s in Any way its same as dementia because it’s not, I just loved the irony of my situation. And i laugh about it a lot.
recently i listened to the entire thing again with my mum and still got to me a little, but nothing will compare to the first full listen (i done on new years with my cousin) that final bit got me crying for 15 mins straight and the next cpl days afterwards i just was so fucking taken back. such a beautiful haunting masterpiece.
For anyone interested, Nexpo explained about this song explaining the different stages. It was the first time I get to learn about it. I do believe at some point of time me or my dad might get struck by this.
My grandmother has dementia and its pretty fuckin horrible watching her mental state decay. The outburst, the lulls, the aggression, lethargy... last time we talked she asked me if i was afraid. If I felt trapped. If I... "needed to escape this place". She repeated her question exactly as she spoke it the first time. And then she looked off into the distance and said "Help me." It's heartwrenching.
I love this album so much, it's honestly one of my favorite albums ever and has opened my eyes to other forms of music and media.
bro my whole body legit froze when i heard that he heard about everywhere at the end of time, i don't want to hear it and go through the pain again.
