。Minty gacha 。 It is. Haven’t listened to the podcasts yet as someone had mentioned, but it’s safe to assume those “unspoken words” were “I love you.” These are unspoken either cause the grandma has passed away or they generally don’t say “I love you.” Coming form a somewhat traditional asian family, they usually never express this love verbally but more in their actions. So you’re not wrong lol
@@genevievebaske7469 I'm sorry for your loss, sending love your way 💕 but I will definitely try to put a smile on her face and hug her more often. ( My nonna lives with our family)
hi this video made me bawl. my grandma died this june. she practically raised me and i loved her so much. i would give the world to say “i love you” one last time. tell your grandmas you love them people.
When i saw “you’re so busy these days. No time to call?” I start crying because I remember my grandma texting that to me but i didn’t notice it because i was so busy and later that night she died. Damn this hurt.
Omg I’m so sorry for your loss, that made me feel so sad because my grandma died too. I almost cried. Edit: if you were wondering, I meant the *comment* almost made me cry. Of course losing my grandma that meant the world to me would make me cry. Just wanted to say that cause I reread it and my comment was kinda confusing.
Sorry for your loss. My mom didn't knew my granny passed on because she's also busy at work, but she knew she had Alzheimer's. And granny had already forgot everything and everyone, mom even said "Okay, I'm gonna go to school now! I'm gonna make you crema de fruta once I come home" she said to my granny with a crying tone. My granny nodded and said "Thats my favorite!" back to her. With a bright smile. How I miss her so much.
Not sure I really want to share this since it hurts thinking about it. But when I was around 17-18 my grandma was in the hospital. However I meant to join my parents visiting her but always seemed to have friends with plans that interfered (that I picked to do over visiting). Little did I know my selfishness would cost me the chance to talk to her forever. By the next time I was able to see her she was asleep in so much pain my parents didn't want to wake her. We left grabbed food around the corner... While my grandma had passed away I was stuffing my face. Each time I try to eat at that place I can't because I think of her. Whatever you do, just don't forget those who love you and you love back. Otherwise you'll have major regrets to live with.
Me: *calls grandma* Hi grandma! My Asian grandma: Oi don't have time now, always call for what? Me: *doesn't call in 5 minutes* My Asian grandma: ARE YOU OK?! WHY NEVER CALL HAH? I'M VERY WORRIED ABOUT YOU AH
“You weren’t allowed the same life you’ve so gracefully endowed” That line hit hard. My mom grew up in a poor family and she barely have any food but she studied hard and got good grades but she didn’t get a job because she needed to take care of me and my brothers. She always reminds me to get good grades to get a good job but I never took it seriously. I didn’t realize how much of a jerk I was to ignore her. To everyone who’s reading this, pls don’t take your family for granted. You only have one.
@@bbcboy69 Please appreciate them, at least for the time being. Please be grateful that you have someone to take care of you and love you. I'm sorry if this came out rudely in any way, I was just reminding you to love everyone you have
My brother takes advantage of my mother , she works her hardest but shes always stressed out and tired from work + with my brother messes makes her tiredness and stress worse but shes still happy.
Same. I am the child of the outcast of the family and I'm definitely treated differently because of it. So I've had to put up a wall around my grandmother. I wish I didn't have to.
Lyrics: It wasn't always easy Growing up we had our fights Though we wouldn't say it We wanted to play nice I can safely say we're friends And that I love you too But years ago that wouldn't happen Because I didn't get you Oh, it's complicated And I need to say it 'Cause time is fading away I should've said it sooner Who knows what's in the future But now I need you to know That I love you You know it's true You don't need to say it back to me Because I know you do And I get it now You weren't allowed The same life That you've so gracefully endowed I'm happy with it all now We both had to grow and learn To understand each other And with patience we took turns I'm sorry for my anger I was just too young to know That cause of your exterior And just what you wouldn't show Oh, it's complicated And I need to say it 'Cause time is fading away I should've said it sooner Who knows what's in the future But now I need you to know That I love you You know it's true You don't need to say it back to me Because I know you do And I get it now You weren't allowed The same life That you've so gracefully endowed Oh, I love you You love me too Unspoken words are preferred But it's the truth I'll shift the tide Leave windows wide We are the start, our change of heart Will be our guide Oh, I love you You know it's true You don't need to say it back to me Because I know you do I do I know you do
All of the grandma's in my family are dead and my grandpa. They were the only ppl I could talk to my feelings about, so I'm left to bottling my feelings
All my grandparents died before I was old enough to even know, or speak with them. I hear from so many people how much they love their grandparents and I see others how they interact with them. I never got that experience, please try not to take that for granted.
I can relate ti this on a personal level because even though i have grandparents i never feel like i matter to them because they live far away and my grandmother closest to me has dementia and sometimes forgets who i am, all of my friends have amazing relationships with their grandparent but, it never feels like i have grandparents. And i hate it, it doesn't feel good to the point that ill avoid skypes from them.
Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. Do your best to remember the fond memories of her. I cannot say that you will 100% get over it but it does get better. I feel for you, had my own similar situation.
Damn As someone who just lost their grandmother earlier this year... this hurts I never got the opportunity to reconnect with her before she got sick... I never even tried, and that’s one of my biggest regrets
it’s ok, your grandma is proud of you and she wouldn’t want you to live with such a regret, would she? it makes her proud knowing that you loved her so much to regret not telling her so...
You may never get 100% over it but do you think she would have wanted you to be worrying about that forever? I'm sure for those of us who didn't get that chance, that loved one would never want you burdened with sad thoughts. Do your best and just remember the fond memories (and pass them on to your kids/relatives). Keep your chin up. 🙂
This might be old, but this really inspired me on talking to my grandma, because she always sends me funny or cute videos and i respond but i never sent her stuff, so i sent her saying that i miss her so much, (because of quarantine) and i cried because she was so happy that i sent her something :")
this made me cry, this song has been my favorite on her album since it came out and it’s always so emotional, knowing it’s about her grandma makes so much more sense and makes it so much more emotional (I thought it was about like a sibling or something lmao)
this song hits me so hard when i realized it's about telling someone you love them before it's too late. my grandma died last november 2016, my parents went home to my mom's hometown to visit my grandma. i couldn't come because i was part of the school committee and we had a school fair that day, so i decided to not come with them. my grandma died at the same day, and the worst part was i didn't say i love you, the last time i visited her..... i just want to go back in time and hug her and say the words i wanted to say... but i didn't.... i had the opportunity, but i never took it.
I work in an independent/assisted living facility. Please call your grandparents/parents/ elderly relatives. They don't have a lot anymore and now they can't even see their peers too often. It would make just all the difference to hear their loved ones voices because I can't tell you how many times I've heard from residents " when can I go home?"
It’s 2am I’m listening to this and crying I’m thinking about my late nannie to this song,, She was so kind and loved me so much. She died in late 2019. I think about her a lot, and I miss her so so much I regret not visiting her often
Shes such girlfriend material I cant ♡ I'm gonna sleep to her songs for the rest of the night. I'm so lucky that I got to go to her concert in Norwich. That's Maia!
As a Chinese as well, this hits hard. "Eat all the food Ah Ma (what I call grandma) puts on your plate" is something I relate to. During Chinese New Year, relatives, including my Ah Ma would put food on my plate and tell me to eat more because I barely eat and i te to finish every single grain of rice on my plate. But if I eat too much, it would be "Aiyoyo, why eat so much? Later fat then get no boyfriend." But all these aren't because she hates you, it's because she loves you and wants you to be the best. Please tell your loved ones that you love them before it's too late, be it a text or a call, please tell them you're okay and message them, one day, you'll regret not talking to them sooner.
okay so this song it's about her grandma but when I first heard it on Spotify I thought it was about childhood friends that grew apart because they took really different life decisions... but now that I know what it is truly about it hits differently and I am now in tears. LITERALLY IN TEARS.
Level one: Lonesome and arkward dinner nights with family and just brush things off. Level two: Parents want you to be something you aren't Level three: All those comments and disappointed faces from your grandparents when your older The end: Realizing that you have to accept yourself and you can find a way to get through your family and you still be happy with them sometimes
Lvl 1: grandma's cookings Lvl 2: grandma's sweaters Lvl 3: grandma's texts/letters Lvl 4/the end: finally calling grandma This song is about telling someone that you love them before it's too late.
This video has made me cry numerous times. My grandma is alive and well, but just the thought that she will one day be gone makes me bawl. I love her so much, I can’t imagine life with her not in it. Anyway time to go make those cookies
I forgot this song existed. It’s been years since I heard it last. But recently losing my grandma unexpectedly and seeing this in my playlist brought it back. Love u grandma. I know you loved me too.
Been in a similar situation, but with a grandma. Best advice I can say is remember the fond memories... Focus on that! Do your best to spend time with those you love and those who love you. Keep your chin up, as she has said before in other videos "you are not alone". I wholeheartedly agree with that statement.
Dude I only found this song yesterday and I went thru exactly the same thing with my own grandfather just a week ago. It was really sudden. I'm glad we visited them overseas only a few weeks before. Hope you are doing okay!
@@BrendanChong lmao not really, my pet hedgehog just died I had him for like 4 years I got him when he was 2 so life's actually shit. But tll get better
@@Yoyoskilz damn seems like all the shit is coming down around you. I hope you're getting the support you need, and it WILL get better. Just not right away, and that's okay.
This song makes me so emotional. I always showered love to my grandma, but because she had a hard life it was difficult to her to show some love through words. When she was sick I was always there to help her and the last time I saw her she said “thank you so much for everything you did, I love you”. This hit me so hard! I hope she’s in a better place! Sorry for my English I’m still learning.
Thanks, mxmtoon. Right now in the year we're in (2020), this song really helps me out, also because of the lyrics in the song because the title "unspoken words" reminds me of how one of my grandma had died. I only saw her 2 or 3 times in my whole entire life, and I never got much time to talk to her and get know her. Then one night, she died in her sleep. When I got the news, I felt horrible because how I never told her about my life and she never got to tell me about hers, and how we never really talked cause of my parents not giving me enough time to. The only thing I have left from her is a purse/hand bag that she gave me. I always take it everywhere to remember her even if I didn't know much about her. So thank you again mxmtoon.
Agreed! Most of the Asians I've met would probably relate and agree with you. So if you're a Filipino, does a parent point with their nose and eyebrows? 😉 Not like my dad did 🙄
i just found this song last night and it hit hard. i’m turning 18 in a few months and my grandparents are already growing old and weak with my grandma losing bits of her memory and my grandpa in the hospital after getting attacked and robbed yesterday. they’ve been harsh on me before but i can understand where they were coming from and i hope i can tell them i love them next time i visit them. thank you for this song maia. this song is amazing as always.
I'm going to China for Winter Break to see my grandparents and this song just made me cry. I've always realized that I never really got to say "I love you" to my grandparents, and I just recently sent it to them via text. By always knowing that they loved me, and knowing that they knew I loved them, I didn't really feel the necessity of those three words. The song reminds me of all the heartbreak, all the turmoil that they had to go through in order to see me, to love me -- how happy they must have been to know that I'm here, though very far away. My heart aches so much because I just miss them a lot, I even wish that they were living with me now so I'd get to hug them and tell them I loved them every single day, satisfying the thought that they'd know how much when they pass away. 我爱你外公和外婆❤ Ahhh I'm actually sobbing right now :') Thank you, Maia for creating such a beautiful song.
i can't lie, this song hurts. a lot. i feel lucky enough to have a good relationship with my grandparents, but i struggle to talk to them now because i'm really scared to come out to them. they've been wonderful to me, and it terrifies me to think of my life without family. thank you for making this maia, it's beautiful
As someone who lost their grandmother last November, this song hits me on so many levels. We're just starting become friends despite all the pain she and my mother caused me growing up. I even wrote a poem about her to put in her obituary
this always makes me cry so much. my grandpa died around 5 years ago, and he was my best friend. i always lived far away and only visited once a year at the most. before he died i hadn't seen him for a year and i never got to say goodbye. i wasn't good at speaking german so he and i couldn't call, and i just wish i could have.
I can relate to this on so many levels because, recently, my grandmother got diagnosed with cancer for the second time. She lives a long way away from us, so we didn’t see her often, but luckily her doctor is in the same town as me, so she comes over a lot now. Even though she has cancer, I’m still glad she’s with us a lot, so we can make memories.
This is strangely sad to me. I'm trans and young...my grandpa, one of the men I looked up to, refused to acknowledge it. I started to avoid him, ignoring him every chance I could. I didn't know he was learning about gender dysphoria and what it meant to be trans..until...well...it was too late.
i'm filipino-american, not chinese, but i think you captured asian-american grandparent-grandchild relationships perfectly with this song and especially paired with this video
Lyrics It wasn't always easy Growing up we had our fights Though we wouldn't say it We wanted to play nice I can safely say we're friends And that I love you too But years ago that wouldn't happen Because I didn't get you Oh, it's complicated And I need to say it 'Cause time is fading away I should've said it sooner Who knows what's in the future But now I need you to know That I love you You know it's true You don't need to say it back to me Because I know you do And I get it now You weren't allowed The same life That you've so gracefully endowed I'm happy with it all now We both had to grow and learn To understand each other And with patience we took turns I'm sorry for my anger I was just too young to know That cause of your exterior And just what you wouldn't show Oh, it's complicated And I need to say it 'Cause time is fading away I should've said it sooner Who knows what's in the future But now I need you to know That I love you You know it's true You don't need to say it back to me Because I know you do And I get it now You weren't allowed The same life That you've so gracefully endowed Oh, I love you You love me too Unspoken words are preferred But it's the truth I'll shift the tide Leave windows wide We are the start, our change of heart Will be our guide Oh, I love you You know it's true You don't need to say it back to me Because I know you do I do I know you do
i try to spend as much time as i can with my grandparents. just a thought about them leaving the earth makes me cry. my grandparents would always tell me how lonely they felt without me and my brother at home when we were at school; and i love and appreciate them so much.
Don't wait until it's too late like myself and others here have said. You can't fix it or wonder "what-ifs" if she passes on. So if she is still available, then give it a shot. Better than having regrets
this song is so dear to me because my grandpa sadly died and i had a choice to visit him before he passed but i passed up on the opportunity because in my own words, "i can bike to his house tmr". this song reminds me of that moment in particular as everyone of my relatives got to visit him the day of his passing except for me.
I have a complicated relationship with my mother. When I was still living at home, we would fight everyday to the point I even thought that my life would be better without her. That’s s so stupid. I wouldn’t be where I am without her. I don’t remember when the last time we said It love you’ to each other and that ain’t right. This song speaks to me so much I am crying a river of tears 😭. I should say that to her before our time runs out. Thanks for the inspiration, Maia ❤️
For me, when I became friends with my mom my whole life changed (and so did hers with me). Having an honest open relationship was the best. I was actually able to tell her some dark secrets (not all of course). But enough to where as she trusted me and I her. Another key is not taking anything said personally (including insults like "you're an idiot"). In the heat of the moment we all say stupid stuff. We always came back later to discuss things. I hope you have a wonderful relaxing talk with your mom. My fingers are crossed for you.
This song hits close to home. When my grandfather passed away last year, about a month before this video was released, I was in college out of state. My parents called to break the news. I wasn’t there for his last moments. He was (and still is) my hero. I was very socially isolated at that time and felt so alone. I had to wait a week to reunite with my family and attend the memorial service. I broke down so many times. He was very weak in his last years and I could hardly understand what he was saying to me; he had a strong Korean accent and his Parkinson’s weakened the muscles in his mouth. It was hard to see him. I felt so disconnected from him. But I knew he loved me. He’d always pray for God to watch over me. I miss him dearly. Thank you so much, Maia. Your song helped me heal. It’s hard to write this, but please say “I love you” to your elders and let them know how much they mean to you. I love you, Grandappa. 사랑해요 할아버지💗
at around 1:04, you can hear a phone typing after she says a few lines and then at around 1:17 you can hear her erase it all, thinking because she's thinking about the text message a lot. This goes on for a few more seconds and then it stops. I just think it's a really cool and unique way of showing what's going on in the lines. you can also hear some phone call noises (I guess) showing that she decided to call or thought about calling. edit: This also happens at the end but the doesn't erase it because she finally knows that's what she feels and wants to say
I watched this a few months ago and soon after, my grandmother died. I'd chop off a limb to see her again, so if you're hesitating to call on your grandparent, take Maia's advice and do so! Grandparents are so precious and our time with them is fleeting. Please don't take them for granted.
coming back to this song again but now that ive lost my paternal grandfather, it hurts. just the day before he passed, it was night time and i was going to bed then i heard a voice saying hi to me. i immediately thought about my grandpa.. even though ive never heard his voice so clear.. since he had parkinson disease..
hands down my favorite music video that you’ve done. I feel like a lot of people don’t touch on subjects like these. thank you. now I wanna call my Grandmom ❤️
growing up as a Chinese Vietnamese girl, i can relate to this a lot, family related or not I honestly love how this song is portrayed and everything about it
Why is no one talking about how she sighs at the end of the song? (4:28) I loved that detail; it makes the song even more natural. I dreamt of my dead grandmother last night only to wake up sobbing and unable to get over the grief of losing her. I'm sorry for everyone who, like me finds the song relatable. If only, I could tell her for once how much I love her!
My grandmother is really like an angel, and I always think of what to do in the moment she passes away, I love her so much and I'm prepared for whatever life wants.
A few days after this was posted my grandma was rushed to the hospital. Just yesterday she passed away due to cancer, 8:53 pm, and I never got my chance to say goodbye. This song makes me remember all the times when I was younger and we had our fights but that we both still loved each other no matter what. if I’m honest, you never really know how much you truly love and care about someone until after they die. The memories of all the great times flood your head and it’s very overwhelming. I just want to say thank you for this wonderful song.
my nan has alzheimers and doesn't always remember me, i love her still. im not in contact with my other nan because of her being incredibly toxic and terrible to my mum
i lost the ability to speak my family's native language. and my grandparents can barely speak english. my grandparents lived with me when i was little so then, i could speak hmong. i was so close to them. they moved out when i was around 7 and i lost my ability to speak hmong. my grandpa doesnt understand a lick of english but my grandmother could, a little.. i never have conversations with my grandpa and my grandma passed away november 19th, 2019. my biggest life regret is not retaining my ability to speak hmong and i know that by the time i learn hmong, it'll be too late. my only hmong grandparent left will be gone. i hope everyone appreciates their relationship with their grandparent, if they have one. you dont know how much i envy those who do.
My dad thought it would be useless to learn his language. The older my grandparents got the worse their English was because they stopped using it all together as I got older. I can somewhat relate, the interesting part is my 90+ grandfather is still alive and fairly close. But he just nods all the time with a cute smile. I sigh and think, gee dad thanks. Oh if I didn't tell you, my father has already passed on so it's really hard to communicate now more than ever. On a side note, I'm glad he's lived this long. He's outlived two of his sons already, which is truly hard. I cannot imagine having to burry your own offspring. He is a very strong man.
@@ernestotejada4974 say "lolo (grandpa), mano po" when you see him and take his hand and place it on your forehead. It's a respectful greeting at the same time like a blessing given to you. I miss my lolo too. He always had kendimint or halls in his pocket to share with the grandkids. Hope you have quality time when you visit. Sometimes a smile or a hug is enough. 😀
You know after hearing this song I just became more aware of my grandparents Recently my grandpa died, but even at the funeral I didn't cry, I don't know why I didn't cry and I feel bad becuse of that then one night I had a talk with my little brother and he cried because he couldn't get to the funeral and felt bad at how he treated my grandpa before and he said that he felt so bad for not even seeing him once in a few weeks because of his sickness and he cried beside me, then a small damn broke and I shed a few tears. Ya'know he passed away so suddenly I didn't even believe it at the moment I just felt that he would always be there and seeing and realizing that 'yes he is gone' is just like a slap in the face that no one could live forever even me
This really makes me cry. I lost my grandma when i was 10 and didnt really grasp the emotion and feeling of loss, i was pretty much not affected( we live in diff countries and meet once a year). Now im 15 and in the dark of the night i look at her photo on the table and i cry and apologize over and over again for pushing her away and never being there, now i truly regret pushing her away. I also realised i was doing the same to my grandpa but i learnt my lesson and hopefully we grow closer... Thank you for this song :)
My grandparents..are always a touchy subject for me. I always feel..uncomfortable talkin' bout em. Heres the reason..I dont normally share this stuff to my friends so...here it is.. My parents and my grandparents had some drama..my grandparents always blamed my parents even though they were trying to help 'em. Few weeks.or months later my grandpa passed away..for some reason I- didnt feel any regret or..anything. I- didnt seem to care..honestly.. My parents always kept me away from my grandparents..I never understood why, now I do. I don't feel comfortable near my father..I'm just..fed up with everything at this point. Life itself, my friends sometimes ( No offense if your readin this), even..school. I cant with all these expectations, its stressful for me. I can't relax since i have to take care of the dogs (I have 6) . My parents always say:`` Get off your device and go socialize more!``, I'm not a extrovert. I'm a ambivert, I hate socializing.. My parents think I'm fine, their aware of my grades though. I dunno why i need good grades, is it just to please 'em? why do I need to please 'em in the first place? Why can't I be..me? Why do I have to be identified as a...''female'' or ''girl'' to others (I'm non binary, I use they / them / she ( Or it if you prefer to use) ) I hate it. I hate it all.. Im sorry for the rant, I just needed to get my feelings out.
FROM EGYPT 💛💛💙💙 : HOW CAN YOU DO THIS .. HOW CAN YOU GO INTO THE DEAPEST POINT IN MY HEART AND JUST SIT IN THERE ALWAYS 😍💛💛💛 YOUR FEELING AND YOUR VOICE ARE COME FROM THE SPACE 💜💜❤❤ 💚💚💚💚
If you just listened to this song without the music video you would have never guessed it’s as about grandparents but this song is super deep if you analyze it like you have to keep close your family members and be with them before it’s too late and you wasted your time in your room

It is. Haven’t listened to the podcasts yet as someone had mentioned, but it’s safe to assume those “unspoken words” were “I love you.” These are unspoken either cause the grandma has passed away or they generally don’t say “I love you.” Coming form a somewhat traditional asian family, they usually never express this love verbally but more in their actions.

Im sorry for your lost, hope you are doing better. What matters is that she loved you and you still love her.
Omg I’m so sorry for your loss, that made me feel so sad because my grandma died too. I almost cried.
Edit: if you were wondering, I meant the *comment* almost made me cry. Of course losing my grandma that meant the world to me would make me cry. Just wanted to say that cause I reread it and my comment was kinda confusing.
Sorry for your loss. My mom didn't knew my granny passed on because she's also busy at work, but she knew she had Alzheimer's. And granny had already forgot everything and everyone, mom even said "Okay, I'm gonna go to school now! I'm gonna make you crema de fruta once I come home" she said to my granny with a crying tone. My granny nodded and said "Thats my favorite!" back to her. With a bright smile. How I miss her so much.
heyits_josh I am sooo sorry for your loss 😣
Not sure I really want to share this since it hurts thinking about it. But when I was around 17-18 my grandma was in the hospital. However I meant to join my parents visiting her but always seemed to have friends with plans that interfered (that I picked to do over visiting). Little did I know my selfishness would cost me the chance to talk to her forever. By the next time I was able to see her she was asleep in so much pain my parents didn't want to wake her. We left grabbed food around the corner... While my grandma had passed away I was stuffing my face. Each time I try to eat at that place I can't because I think of her.
Whatever you do, just don't forget those who love you and you love back. Otherwise you'll have major regrets to live with.
On an unrelated note, I'm going to call my grandma
This is wholesome
Very unrelated indeed
thats so adorable!!
Call her again!!! Today! She'll love it
Me: *calls grandma* Hi grandma!
My Asian grandma: Oi don't have time now, always call for what?
Me: *doesn't call in 5 minutes*
My Asian grandma: ARE YOU OK?! WHY NEVER CALL HAH? I'M VERY WORRIED ABOUT YOU AH
this needs more likes, asian grandmas and grandparents are the bestttttttt
Sounds Filipino. Are you a Filipino?
Awwwww swwweeeet haha but yeah, sound like a Filipino thing. Didn't get to know my grandparents much sooo can't relate haha 😅✌️
Sounds more singaporean
Omigod I read that in my head in. An Asian accent lol
“You weren’t allowed the same life you’ve so gracefully endowed”
That line hit hard. My mom grew up in a poor family and she barely have any food but she studied hard and got good grades but she didn’t get a job because she needed to take care of me and my brothers. She always reminds me to get good grades to get a good job but I never took it seriously. I didn’t realize how much of a jerk I was to ignore her. To everyone who’s reading this, pls don’t take your family for granted. You only have one.
*aha. you underestimate me.*
*continues to live in a foster home*
@@bbcboy69 Please appreciate them, at least for the time being. Please be grateful that you have someone to take care of you and love you. I'm sorry if this came out rudely in any way, I was just reminding you to love everyone you have
Off topic but hello fellow Cambodian 👋
My brother takes advantage of my mother , she works her hardest but shes always stressed out and tired from work + with my brother messes makes her tiredness and stress worse but shes still happy.
@@adorifygyu 😞 brothers are jerks
Those sixteen dislikes are all the grandmas who didn’t get a phone call
That's actually sad. Those 16 grandkids/children's existance is a crime to humanity
The 184 grandmas are very angry they didn’t get a phone call.

We all have different opinions, don’t be surprised when somebody doesn’t like what you like.
I’m honestly envious of people who have good relationships with their grandparents
i have moderate ones...but I wish we are closer. Since I am in Asia I kinda feel that boundary between us that is unable to be crossed
Same. I am the child of the outcast of the family and I'm definitely treated differently because of it. So I've had to put up a wall around my grandmother. I wish I didn't have to.

Same. 😞
Lyrics:
It wasn't always easy
Growing up we had our fights
Though we wouldn't say it
We wanted to play nice
I can safely say we're friends
And that I love you too
But years ago that wouldn't happen
Because I didn't get you
Oh, it's complicated
And I need to say it
'Cause time is fading away
I should've said it sooner
Who knows what's in the future
But now I need you to know
That I love you
You know it's true
You don't need to say it back to me
Because I know you do
And I get it now
You weren't allowed
The same life
That you've so gracefully endowed
I'm happy with it all now
We both had to grow and learn
To understand each other
And with patience we took turns
I'm sorry for my anger
I was just too young to know
That cause of your exterior
And just what you wouldn't show
Oh, it's complicated
And I need to say it
'Cause time is fading away
I should've said it sooner
Who knows what's in the future
But now I need you to know
That I love you
You know it's true
You don't need to say it back to me
Because I know you do
And I get it now
You weren't allowed
The same life
That you've so gracefully endowed
Oh, I love you
You love me too
Unspoken words are preferred
But it's the truth
I'll shift the tide
Leave windows wide
We are the start, our change of heart
Will be our guide
Oh, I love you
You know it's true
You don't need to say it back to me
Because I know you do
I do
I know you do
thx
its already in the description
what i've learned from this video: call grandma more
edit: dear person reading this, please go tell someone you love them before its too late :)
Heh. I can't. Mine is dead.😔♥️
@@bajablastingmybrainsout oh im so sorry for your loss. :(( my grandpa passed away last year so i know how you feel 💔
dawg mines dead so I went to call my grampa and I was like "shit he's dead too"
All of the grandma's in my family are dead and my grandpa. They were the only ppl I could talk to my feelings about, so I'm left to bottling my feelings
@@ningningsgirlfriend nooo please dont bottle them up thats so bad for u :( u can talk to me whenever u want
All my grandparents died before I was old enough to even know, or speak with them. I hear from so many people how much they love their grandparents and I see others how they interact with them. I never got that experience, please try not to take that for granted.
I can relate ti this on a personal level because even though i have grandparents i never feel like i matter to them because they live far away and my grandmother closest to me has dementia and sometimes forgets who i am, all of my friends have amazing relationships with their grandparent but, it never feels like i have grandparents. And i hate it, it doesn't feel good to the point that ill avoid skypes from them.
Same here but my grandparents were really mean to my parents
Same... one died when I was just born
same here!
I wish with everything I have that I could have met my grandfather
EVERYONE GO CALL YOUR GRANDMA'S OR GRANDPA'S OR RELATIVES OF ANY KIND AND TELL THEM YOU LOVE THEM
melssem I would but she never was in my life anyways 🤷♀️ and my other nice one died
@@ZeroTwo-ys4jw oh im sorry for ur loss :(
Lol it’s ok don’t worry about it she was 81 already so she lived a good life :) and is always in my heart
@@ZeroTwo-ys4jw aww that's good to hear 🥺
Yeah the rest of my family doesn’t support me and part of my family, and they probably blocked me soooo, I guess I can’t...😞
This is sad because my grandma doesn't really like to spend time with me.
[03-02-20] Edit: Now she's gone, her interment is tomorrow.
i’m so sorry for your lose. you WILL get through this time in your life. I hope you and your family are coping well, just never forget her. 💕💕💕

It made me cry, I lost my grandmother recently and this perfectly reflects the situation I feel, I wish I could tell her again that I love her
Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. Do your best to remember the fond memories of her. I cannot say that you will 100% get over it but it does get better. I feel for you, had my own similar situation.
Well me to except my grandpa died and I wish I spended more time with him

Damn
As someone who just lost their grandmother earlier this year... this hurts
I never got the opportunity to reconnect with her before she got sick... I never even tried, and that’s one of my biggest regrets
Marti DaVoid I know exactly how you feel
it’s ok, your grandma is proud of you and she wouldn’t want you to live with such a regret, would she? it makes her proud knowing that you loved her so much to regret not telling her so...
You may never get 100% over it but do you think she would have wanted you to be worrying about that forever? I'm sure for those of us who didn't get that chance, that loved one would never want you burdened with sad thoughts. Do your best and just remember the fond memories (and pass them on to your kids/relatives). Keep your chin up. 🙂
Exactly the same
My grandmother just passed away
R.I.P
This might be old, but this really inspired me on talking to my grandma, because she always sends me funny or cute videos and i respond but i never sent her stuff, so i sent her saying that i miss her so much, (because of quarantine) and i cried because she was so happy that i sent her something :")
awww💕
that made me cry...i think im gonna call my grandma...
aww thats so sweet
this made me cry, this song has been my favorite on her album since it came out and it’s always so emotional, knowing it’s about her grandma makes so much more sense and makes it so much more emotional (I thought it was about like a sibling or something lmao)
this has given me a completely different look at this song. love it
I thought this was about a sibling but grandma makes it even cuter
Panic! AtMyBrain I thought it was about her mom because she said the life you so gracefully endowed
maia feeding us with her talent just like her grandma feeds maia
MusicCharts TV STOP
I've seen comments about grandparents but can relate to most, I have a really rude grandma, so it makes me happy to see people talk about good people.
IM CRYING THIS IS THE BEST MV OF THE WORLD YES.
Omg I'm literally just looking at the picture of the premiere but I can already tell this is going to be my favourite song!
yo it's already out since september
This is just a music video..lol the song already came out it's been out
Yeah I know lol
Cool beans I don’t see it
i think you meant favorite music video-
this song hits me so hard when i realized it's about telling someone you love them before it's too late. my grandma died last november 2016, my parents went home to my mom's hometown to visit my grandma. i couldn't come because i was part of the school committee and we had a school fair that day, so i decided to not come with them. my grandma died at the same day, and the worst part was i didn't say i love you, the last time i visited her..... i just want to go back in time and hug her and say the words i wanted to say... but i didn't.... i had the opportunity, but i never took it.
I work in an independent/assisted living facility. Please call your grandparents/parents/ elderly relatives. They don't have a lot anymore and now they can't even see their peers too often. It would make just all the difference to hear their loved ones voices because I can't tell you how many times I've heard from residents " when can I go home?"
It’s 2am
I’m listening to this and crying
I’m thinking about my late nannie to this song,,
She was so kind and loved me so much. She died in late 2019. I think about her a lot, and I miss her so so much
I regret not visiting her often
Shes such girlfriend material I cant ♡ I'm gonna sleep to her songs for the rest of the night. I'm so lucky that I got to go to her concert in Norwich. That's Maia!
Awe I went to the Norwich one aswell
@@coco-oe6xiOo yay!
Hey did you know she’s dating someone? Check TikTok when you see who she’s dating you’ll see that they deserve each other omg
@@arianachickenjoy2689 omg they are adorable ♡
Artemix wait who is she dating
here i was crying at this song because i was interpreting it another way and now here i am again crying EVEN HARDER 🥺
SAME BRO
It looks like hispanic grandmas are not that different from Chinese ones!
Elias J. This applies to all grandmas! 😂😅
Or all grandmas on this planet
And kroatian grandmas
All grandmas boo
and jewish grandma’s
As a Chinese as well, this hits hard. "Eat all the food Ah Ma (what I call grandma) puts on your plate" is something I relate to. During Chinese New Year, relatives, including my Ah Ma would put food on my plate and tell me to eat more because I barely eat and i te to finish every single grain of rice on my plate. But if I eat too much, it would be "Aiyoyo, why eat so much? Later fat then get no boyfriend." But all these aren't because she hates you, it's because she loves you and wants you to be the best. Please tell your loved ones that you love them before it's too late, be it a text or a call, please tell them you're okay and message them, one day, you'll regret not talking to them sooner.
Same here. That's what I call my grandma too--Anma! Spelled differently but really it's pronounced the same way.
okay so this song it's about her grandma but when I first heard it on Spotify I thought it was about childhood friends that grew apart because they took really different life decisions... but now that I know what it is truly about it hits differently and I am now in tears. LITERALLY IN TEARS.
Level one: Lonesome and arkward dinner nights with family and just brush things off.
Level two: Parents want you to be something you aren't
Level three: All those comments and disappointed faces from your grandparents when your older
The end: Realizing that you have to accept yourself and you can find a way to get through your family and you still be happy with them sometimes
@@MarcelReuling dude stop it
Actually its about telling someone(for example a family member) that you love them before its too late. Cool interpretation though!
Lvl 1: grandma's cookings
Lvl 2: grandma's sweaters
Lvl 3: grandma's texts/letters
Lvl 4/the end: finally calling grandma
This song is about telling someone that you love them before it's too late.
MusicCharts TV JUST STOP
Words can’t describe how much I freaking love this song. I’ve replayed it over and over so many times yet I’m not tired of it.
This video has made me cry numerous times. My grandma is alive and well, but just the thought that she will one day be gone makes me bawl. I love her so much, I can’t imagine life with her not in it. Anyway time to go make those cookies
I forgot this song existed. It’s been years since I heard it last. But recently losing my grandma unexpectedly and seeing this in my playlist brought it back. Love u grandma. I know you loved me too.
I think the way you express all the broad spectrum of human emotions is cool. Anger, sadness, joy, all of it should be accepted by the right person :)
Hits hard bro my grandads dying in hospital rn and this shit cuts deep
Been in a similar situation, but with a grandma. Best advice I can say is remember the fond memories... Focus on that! Do your best to spend time with those you love and those who love you. Keep your chin up, as she has said before in other videos "you are not alone". I wholeheartedly agree with that statement.
@@ernestotejada4974 thanks bro I'm actually on my way to his funeral as we speak. So that very much appreciated
Dude I only found this song yesterday and I went thru exactly the same thing with my own grandfather just a week ago. It was really sudden. I'm glad we visited them overseas only a few weeks before. Hope you are doing okay!
@@BrendanChong lmao not really, my pet hedgehog just died I had him for like 4 years I got him when he was 2 so life's actually shit. But tll get better
@@Yoyoskilz damn seems like all the shit is coming down around you. I hope you're getting the support you need, and it WILL get better. Just not right away, and that's okay.
This song makes me so emotional. I always showered love to my grandma, but because she had a hard life it was difficult to her to show some love through words. When she was sick I was always there to help her and the last time I saw her she said “thank you so much for everything you did, I love you”. This hit me so hard! I hope she’s in a better place!
Sorry for my English I’m still learning.
Thanks, mxmtoon. Right now in the year we're in (2020), this song really helps me out, also because of the lyrics in the song because the title "unspoken words" reminds me of how one of my grandma had died. I only saw her 2 or 3 times in my whole entire life, and I never got much time to talk to her and get know her. Then one night, she died in her sleep. When I got the news, I felt horrible because how I never told her about my life and she never got to tell me about hers, and how we never really talked cause of my parents not giving me enough time to. The only thing I have left from her is a purse/hand bag that she gave me. I always take it everywhere to remember her even if I didn't know much about her. So thank you again mxmtoon.
Your English is anazing and this comment is so bittersweet 💗💗
thanks Maia for making this song. I'll never stop crying especially after my grandma passing away. 🥹
looks like filipina grandmas and chinese ones aren’t that different
Agreed! Most of the Asians I've met would probably relate and agree with you.
So if you're a Filipino, does a parent point with their nose and eyebrows? 😉 Not like my dad did 🙄
Ernesto Tejada yeah they point like this:
😗 “ober dare”
@@elijahfergus 🤣 It's even more funny when the family comes together.
Don’t forget Korean ones
Me: *sees your pfp*
Also me:*crying because the shows over*
i just found this song last night and it hit hard. i’m turning 18 in a few months and my grandparents are already growing old and weak with my grandma losing bits of her memory and my grandpa in the hospital after getting attacked and robbed yesterday. they’ve been harsh on me before but i can understand where they were coming from and i hope i can tell them i love them next time i visit them. thank you for this song maia. this song is amazing as always.
I'm going to China for Winter Break to see my grandparents and this song just made me cry.
I've always realized that I never really got to say "I love you" to my grandparents, and I just recently sent it to them via text. By always knowing that they loved me, and knowing that they knew I loved them, I didn't really feel the necessity of those three words.
The song reminds me of all the heartbreak, all the turmoil that they had to go through in order to see me, to love me -- how happy they must have been to know that I'm here, though very far away. My heart aches so much because I just miss them a lot, I even wish that they were living with me now so I'd get to hug them and tell them I loved them every single day, satisfying the thought that they'd know how much when they pass away.
我爱你外公和外婆❤
Ahhh I'm actually sobbing right now :')
Thank you, Maia for creating such a beautiful song.
i can't lie, this song hurts. a lot. i feel lucky enough to have a good relationship with my grandparents, but i struggle to talk to them now because i'm really scared to come out to them. they've been wonderful to me, and it terrifies me to think of my life without family. thank you for making this maia, it's beautiful
As someone who lost their grandmother last November, this song hits me on so many levels. We're just starting become friends despite all the pain she and my mother caused me growing up. I even wrote a poem about her to put in her obituary
this always makes me cry so much. my grandpa died around 5 years ago, and he was my best friend. i always lived far away and only visited once a year at the most. before he died i hadn't seen him for a year and i never got to say goodbye. i wasn't good at speaking german so he and i couldn't call, and i just wish i could have.
I can relate to this on so many levels because, recently, my grandmother got diagnosed with cancer for the second time. She lives a long way away from us, so we didn’t see her often, but luckily her doctor is in the same town as me, so she comes over a lot now. Even though she has cancer, I’m still glad she’s with us a lot, so we can make memories.
Is she okay?
This is strangely sad to me. I'm trans and young...my grandpa, one of the men I looked up to, refused to acknowledge it. I started to avoid him, ignoring him every chance I could. I didn't know he was learning about gender dysphoria and what it meant to be trans..until...well...it was too late.
Oh dear, I'm so sorry for ur lost
this song had me crying so hard.. don't wanna talk about it but, i really miss her.
i'm filipino-american, not chinese, but i think you captured asian-american grandparent-grandchild relationships perfectly with this song and especially paired with this video
why r u so underrated guys pls stan her istg her music is so good :((

i try to spend as much time as i can with my grandparents.
just a thought about them leaving the earth makes me cry.
my grandparents would always tell me how lonely they felt without me and my brother at home when we were at school; and i love and appreciate them so much.
As someone who just cut ties with my grandmother, this song is heartwreanchinf
@@MarcelReuling bro are you a bot or something?
:( maybe call her to tell her you love her. :(
Don't wait until it's too late like myself and others here have said. You can't fix it or wonder "what-ifs" if she passes on. So if she is still available, then give it a shot. Better than having regrets
this song is so dear to me because my grandpa sadly died and i had a choice to visit him before he passed but i passed up on the opportunity because in my own words, "i can bike to his house tmr". this song reminds me of that moment in particular as everyone of my relatives got to visit him the day of his passing except for me.
This song made me cry it just made me think of my dad he died when I was 4
I only have very few memories of him but I still love him anyways
♥️
i’ve never noticed how hard this song touches me till now
I have a complicated relationship with my mother. When I was still living at home, we would fight everyday to the point I even thought that my life would be better without her. That’s s so stupid. I wouldn’t be where I am without her. I don’t remember when the last time we said It love you’ to each other and that ain’t right. This song speaks to me so much I am crying a river of tears 😭. I should say that to her before our time runs out. Thanks for the inspiration, Maia ❤️
For me, when I became friends with my mom my whole life changed (and so did hers with me). Having an honest open relationship was the best. I was actually able to tell her some dark secrets (not all of course). But enough to where as she trusted me and I her. Another key is not taking anything said personally (including insults like "you're an idiot"). In the heat of the moment we all say stupid stuff. We always came back later to discuss things. I hope you have a wonderful relaxing talk with your mom. My fingers are crossed for you.
@@ernestotejada4974 wow
This song hits close to home. When my grandfather passed away last year, about a month before this video was released, I was in college out of state. My parents called to break the news. I wasn’t there for his last moments. He was (and still is) my hero. I was very socially isolated at that time and felt so alone. I had to wait a week to reunite with my family and attend the memorial service. I broke down so many times. He was very weak in his last years and I could hardly understand what he was saying to me; he had a strong Korean accent and his Parkinson’s weakened the muscles in his mouth. It was hard to see him. I felt so disconnected from him. But I knew he loved me. He’d always pray for God to watch over me. I miss him dearly. Thank you so much, Maia. Your song helped me heal. It’s hard to write this, but please say “I love you” to your elders and let them know how much they mean to you. I love you, Grandappa. 사랑해요 할아버지💗
at around 1:04, you can hear a phone typing after she says a few lines and then at around 1:17 you can hear her erase it all, thinking because she's thinking about the text message a lot. This goes on for a few more seconds and then it stops. I just think it's a really cool and unique way of showing what's going on in the lines. you can also hear some phone call noises (I guess) showing that she decided to call or thought about calling.
edit: This also happens at the end but the doesn't erase it because she finally knows that's what she feels and wants to say
Roses are red
Violets are blue

Who the heck is Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift???!!? I only know mxmtoon.
I watched this a few months ago and soon after, my grandmother died. I'd chop off a limb to see her again, so if you're hesitating to call on your grandparent, take Maia's advice and do so! Grandparents are so precious and our time with them is fleeting. Please don't take them for granted.
coming back to this song again but now that ive lost my paternal grandfather, it hurts. just the day before he passed, it was night time and i was going to bed then i heard a voice saying hi to me. i immediately thought about my grandpa.. even though ive never heard his voice so clear.. since he had parkinson disease..
“EMBRACE ALL OF GRANDMAS CRITICISMS” oof i felt that
hands down my favorite music video that you’ve done. I feel like a lot of people don’t touch on subjects like these. thank you. now I wanna call my Grandmom ❤️
growing up as a Chinese Vietnamese girl, i can relate to this a lot, family related or not I honestly love how this song is portrayed and everything about it
Why is no one talking about how she sighs at the end of the song? (4:28) I loved that detail; it makes the song even more natural. I dreamt of my dead grandmother last night only to wake up sobbing and unable to get over the grief of losing her. I'm sorry for everyone who, like me finds the song relatable. If only, I could tell her for once how much I love her!
My grandmother is really like an angel, and I always think of what to do in the moment she passes away, I love her so much and I'm prepared for whatever life wants.
This song made me burst into tears stop being such a good writer and singer
I WAS JUST LISTENING TO THIS SONG ON MY WAY BACK HOME
this hit me because i lost both my grandmas and i was younger and never really said i love you :(
I love the little details in every scene. Its such a good song and its a piece of art.
A few days after this was posted my grandma was rushed to the hospital. Just yesterday she passed away due to cancer, 8:53 pm, and I never got my chance to say goodbye. This song makes me remember all the times when I was younger and we had our fights but that we both still loved each other no matter what. if I’m honest, you never really know how much you truly love and care about someone until after they die. The memories of all the great times flood your head and it’s very overwhelming. I just want to say thank you for this wonderful song.
my nan has alzheimers and doesn't always remember me, i love her still. im not in contact with my other nan because of her being incredibly toxic and terrible to my mum
i lost the ability to speak my family's native language. and my grandparents can barely speak english.
my grandparents lived with me when i was little so then, i could speak hmong. i was so close to them. they moved out when i was around 7 and i lost my ability to speak hmong. my grandpa doesnt understand a lick of english but my grandmother could, a little.. i never have conversations with my grandpa and my grandma passed away november 19th, 2019. my biggest life regret is not retaining my ability to speak hmong and i know that by the time i learn hmong, it'll be too late. my only hmong grandparent left will be gone. i hope everyone appreciates their relationship with their grandparent, if they have one. you dont know how much i envy those who do.
My dad thought it would be useless to learn his language. The older my grandparents got the worse their English was because they stopped using it all together as I got older. I can somewhat relate, the interesting part is my 90+ grandfather is still alive and fairly close. But he just nods all the time with a cute smile. I sigh and think, gee dad thanks. Oh if I didn't tell you, my father has already passed on so it's really hard to communicate now more than ever.
On a side note, I'm glad he's lived this long. He's outlived two of his sons already, which is truly hard. I cannot imagine having to burry your own offspring. He is a very strong man.
@@ernestotejada4974 your dad was filipino? Which part of the phils?
@@jcreynolds5006 Near Manila, it's a town outside of the city.
@@ernestotejada4974 say "lolo (grandpa), mano po" when you see him and take his hand and place it on your forehead. It's a respectful greeting at the same time like a blessing given to you. I miss my lolo too. He always had kendimint or halls in his pocket to share with the grandkids. Hope you have quality time when you visit. Sometimes a smile or a hug is enough. 😀
You know after hearing this song I just became more aware of my grandparents
Recently my grandpa died, but even at the funeral I didn't cry, I don't know why I didn't cry and I feel bad becuse of that then one night I had a talk with my little brother and he cried because he couldn't get to the funeral and felt bad at how he treated my grandpa before and he said that he felt so bad for not even seeing him once in a few weeks because of his sickness and he cried beside me, then a small damn broke and I shed a few tears.
Ya'know he passed away so suddenly I didn't even believe it at the moment I just felt that he would always be there and seeing and realizing that 'yes he is gone' is just like a slap in the face that no one could live forever even me
My grandma died almost a year ago, so the meaning of the song take me on another level of understanding. Thank you, I didn’t want to cry
This really makes me cry. I lost my grandma when i was 10 and didnt really grasp the emotion and feeling of loss, i was pretty much not affected( we live in diff countries and meet once a year). Now im 15 and in the dark of the night i look at her photo on the table and i cry and apologize over and over again for pushing her away and never being there, now i truly regret pushing her away. I also realised i was doing the same to my grandpa but i learnt my lesson and hopefully we grow closer... Thank you for this song :)
My grandparents..are always a touchy subject for me. I always feel..uncomfortable talkin' bout em.
Heres the reason..I dont normally share this stuff to my friends so...here it is..
My parents and my grandparents had some drama..my grandparents always blamed my parents even though they were trying to help 'em. Few weeks.or months later my grandpa passed away..for some reason I- didnt feel any regret or..anything. I- didnt seem to care..honestly.. My parents always kept me away from my grandparents..I never understood why, now I do. I don't feel comfortable near my father..I'm just..fed up with everything at this point. Life itself, my friends sometimes ( No offense if your readin this), even..school. I cant with all these expectations, its stressful for me. I can't relax since i have to take care of the dogs (I have 6) . My parents always say:`` Get off your device and go socialize more!``, I'm not a extrovert. I'm a ambivert, I hate socializing.. My parents think I'm fine, their aware of my grades though. I dunno why i need good grades, is it just to please 'em? why do I need to please 'em in the first place? Why can't I be..me? Why do I have to be identified as a...''female'' or ''girl'' to others (I'm non binary, I use they / them / she ( Or it if you prefer to use) )
I hate it. I hate it all..
Im sorry for the rant, I just needed to get my feelings out.
I just lost my grandfather, and yesterday was supposed to be his birthday. This makes my heart break..
FROM EGYPT 💛💛💙💙 :
HOW CAN YOU DO THIS .. HOW CAN YOU GO INTO THE DEAPEST POINT IN MY HEART AND JUST SIT IN THERE ALWAYS 😍💛💛💛
YOUR FEELING AND YOUR VOICE ARE COME FROM THE SPACE 💜💜❤❤
💚💚💚💚
I cant with her i just have to cry in every song...
If you just listened to this song without the music video you would have never guessed it’s as about grandparents but this song is super deep if you analyze it like you have to keep close your family members and be with them before it’s too late and you wasted your time in your room
