I stumbled across this song a couple days and literally felt an overwhelming sense of connection. This song speaks to how I feel in my toxic household. I don’t go my my birth name and I hate being home, but the minute I have to go back, I am reminded of “my place” and that even after having my friends refer to me as a person, my parents will always only know me as the sweet and quiet little girl. I can’t leave, can’t have an opinion, but I’ll know that when the truth reveals itself, I’ll finally be free.
omfg me too. so like i’m a closeted trans and this song just reminds me of how much i suffered with my identity and how my family probably won’t even accept me and how i’ll disappoint them bc i won’t be their “princess” anymore so it kinda just stabs me in the heart. also reminds me of shifting cause i can be who i want and be in a different reality where i’m happy LMAO
@@lucan_nn brooo the “princess” thing hits sooo hard :( I don’t shift, but I do dissociate a lot, esp with weird core music. One day we’ll get to leave it behind

I had a friend who was extremely toxic. She used to be so sweet, kind, thoughtful, and caring. Then she changed. She would threaten me with her killing herself. I used to have a crush on her. The old her. We aren’t friends anymore. We haven’t spoken in nearly a year. I hope she’s doing okay, wherever she is.
literally me with my ex-crush. he used to be quiet but funny and he had the cutest, nerdiest glasses until he got contact lenses. he used to be so sweet, so friendly. until being the center of attention suddenly became his biggest priority and he only cared about me and my feelings if it was convenient for him.
This sort of feels like the last day ever in school, where all your friends and the people you met go their own paths and you probably will never see them again.
this song creates an imagine in my head of me, maybe 10-11, putting down the controller for good, after so many years, and as im doing so, all the memories of the fun i had playing the games with my friends come flooding back at once, and then my older self standing the corner watching in tears. like if you can relate
The song is based on real events. This was the story of Phil and Ronnie Spector. Phil worked with a bunch of famous artists one of them was named Ronnie they had a very abusive relationship. The song is called "Christmas Kids" because Phil adopted children as a Christmas "Gift" to try to fix their relationship. However he did not care about them in the slightest and left in 1 bucket to act as a toilet for the kids. He primarily got them to stop Ronnie from leaving him. This didn’t fix things so he locked her inside, put barbed wire around their mansion, and bars on the windows. The line "You can change your name or change your mind" meant that she couldn't change her name, because everyone knew her as Ronnie and the last name gave her so much legitimacy that she couldn’t be successful without it. She tried to drink herself to death, but she ended up in Alcoholics Anonymous, they helped give her the courage to try to escape. He threatened Ronnie with a gold coffin that he would display her corpse in. He then took her shoes so she couldn't escape as easily. Luckily one of the windows broke and she managed to squeeze herself through the broken window and escape. Unfortunately she lost everything in the divorce including the children, however luckily she managed to sue him for a lot of money. Phil ended up getting caught on other charges and he went to prison. Phil died in 2021 of Covid. And Ronnette died in 2022 at the age of 78 of cancer. TLDR: Ronnie was in a very abusive relationship, Phil threatened her and that’s what the song is about.
I feel I can't escape my father. I look like him so I can run. He follows me,my face is just the female version of his,I'm twelve, yet I want to get away from reality. My reality is my father. All the yelling, my ears hurt. I can't run I will always be his daughter. This song reminds me that no matter what I do, I will always know that I am him. I hurts, but I can't stop listening to it.
This might seem weird of me to say, but I get it, I feel the same. In 2020 my parents got divorced, and I finally realized my father had been abusing my mom, my siblings and I. I won't sugar-coat things, I hate him and in proxy kind of fear myself because of it, every day I see him in the mirror a little, in my nose and the pit of anger in my stomach that I know he gave me. These past three years he's met another woman with two boys, and now they're engaged. No matter how much times passes or how much he pretends, I'll know what he is, and I'll never forgive him for what he did. I'm cutting him out of my life in two months, once I turn 18. I think what I'm trying to say is no, I can't escape my DNA, but it isn't game over. It's not always going to be this way, look at me- if you had told nine-year old me that someday this is where I would be, I wouldn't have believed you. (I'm sorry for the rant, I just hope this helps you a little, ly)
I feel the same, my face is like a print of my father's, he has done some things that I'm not proud of and I would never have the guts to do. Sometimes I think if I will be like him in the future, I'm scared to think about that because I don't want to be like him...
im in the same boat, planning on changing my last name when I'm 18 and getting adopted to my moms side of the family so I don't have to be associated with his name, also I plan on completely changing at 18 and moving far away so I'll never have to see him ever again, and yes I still look into the mirror and see his eyes and feel fear because it's like looking into my abuser of so many years, and looking at the hair color he gave me that will forever grow from my head. It's rough, but I guess the best way to cope is to practice self love, journaling, talking to friends or family.

I know, I'm not proud of what my father has done to,and I'm scared. I'll turn into him. But if men we make a effort, we can be nothing like them, but I guess we can just try not remember that we(sorry if "we" is a odd term for this) are hour on person and what you look like doesn't detrimen that. Have a nice day/night
This song reminds me of my childhood. My house was super toxic and everyone was yelling even at eachother. My ears hurt so bad. (There’s a lot of other stuff that I’m leaving out for personal reasons) Once I turned 18 I left. And I swore to myself that I’d never talk to them. I was so ashamed of myself I changed my name. I changed who I was completely. I would never see myself the same. I was somebody different. One day I looked in the mirror and realized even though I’m a different person. I’m still that child who was abused. Even though no one knows and I look fine. I’ll always know what happened. I’m still that kid and I always will. I have my parents DNA. Even though I’m someone different I’m still the same scared kid. I’ll know who I was and who I am. So glad I stumbled across this song because it really describes me in a toxic and abusive household. My heart goes out to anyone who has also gone through this
@@Water_down_the_stream I’m okay man. Sometimes people don’t have a good childhood and get abused. It hurts mentally right now but I’ll live. I’m so much happier now I don’t live with them.
this part of the song reminds me of the SA i experienced when i was only a child.. it makes me feel angry, but also a sense of calm, because though i have to live with the memory of it, i know he does too, and he’ll have to live with the horrible thing HE did for the rest of his life.
this is my favorite song its sad, but it feels comforting, im just sitting there melting, i can’t cry anymore but im sad beyond even trying to. like somebody pulling you into a different world
I found this song today, it remembered me that whenever I felt overwhelmed and hopeless I wanted to leave this fucked up place behind and start a new and a new identity and live peacefully...but I know It won't happen
I’ve been struggling with Bipolar 1 and Schizophrenia for years and just in the past week I’ve stopped taking my meds. I’m hearing and seeing that things that aren’t there, getting aggressive and not being able to control myself in any aspect. I’ve lost my friends and my partner, there’s no one or thing left for me. This song though somehow feels sympathetic for me and makes me feel less alone.
This song reminds me off how someone can change but they will also be the person they were before even if they change they will still be that same person.
This song (especially this part) reminds me so badly of my estranged best friend before he completely changed and just listening to this makes me realise that I will always remember him for being such a caring and funny dork before he went into a snarky, selfish asshole and that despite his new persona I know who he used to be once
I had the best little ragtag group of friends in 6th grade. 2 moved, and 1 doesn’t talk to me much anymore. But I still really care for them. I saw both kids who moved recently. Within the last few months or so. One at a party, and the other at an audition. We talked as if the other had never left. I could tell I wasn’t the only one wishing we were all still together. Those 3 people made age 11 the best year of my life. Now, I have tons of friends. Most of them are pretty good people, too. But it’s not the same, somehow. Everyone says romance is true love, but I’ve never loved anyone more than my 6th grade friends. Perhaps I never will.
This is so good. I'm moving out of a pretty toxic place soon and basically my one friend is one of the only things I'm going to miss. This song makes me feel like, ill "leave this fucked up place behind." But they will still know how great friends we are and everything we've been through together and so will I ❤. "You'll change your name, you'll change your mind and leave this fucked up place behind. But I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know."
Reminds me of leaving my old toxic home situation where I dealt with so much mental and emotional abuse I felt so much relief but I had to leave my sister behind.. I'll see her again.. it's been over 2 years but soon...
Every time I listen to this song, It reminds me of hundreds of little animals leaving a polluted wasteland left by a power hungry ceo making scarves and that very same ceo taking his hat off when a short orange dwarf pinches his rear end and starts levitating up to the heavens above while the ceo gestures him to come back
2038 views and 2000 of them are from me :) (in all seriousness tho ive had this video on loop for a few days and im OBSESSED with this clean looped version of it, its addicting tbh)
when i hear this. i always remember about my family so happy and always going to the shopping and eat on the resturant. and my dad's sister loves me so much she always buying me a slice of cake ,donut, my grandfather loves me he buys me a nerf when i got high grades and always taking care of me. now its nothing my life is destroyed. i cant bring my happiness again...
and it getting worse than worse. my dad's sister leave at the house because my dad personality. and my dad almost commited suicide. because he got many problems at family and about his life. my mom dont wants him anymore because of his personality. my dad's brother ignore him because his personality. my grandfather dont wants him anymore because of my dad's personality. but me i dont care how much bad my dad's personality i always take care of him even he use to drink alcohol. because if i leave him alone he cant live good. and my grandfather got broke up on his gf and wants to get his gf back. i dont care if u hate me guys i just want to live peace and rest. i love my family...
I often think about the way it used to be . Our family was far from ideal ,none of us were happy . It was for the better. So why is it that I can’t help but to miss it all .people always say how difficult it must be for me.I pretend it’s not ,but it is .
Little background to this song- It's about the lead singer of the band, The Ronnettes. Her name was Ronnie Ronnette. Her husband, Phil, was extremely abusive. His perspective is the first part of the song, hence the lyric, "Ronnette my dear, don't ever disappear. do what you want as long as you stay here." After the do do dodo do do do do doo we hear it change to Ronnies perspective. "I'm leaving Phil, I'm leaving now. I'm going the escape but you wont know how." Ronnie was Phil's wife, and he was abusive towards her. He wouldn't let her leave him or the house without him. He would hide her shoes and threaten her, he even had a casket he kept to scare her. On Christmas he adopted 2 children..the Christmas kids. He used them as a method to guilt her so she wouldn't leave. Eventually she did escape him. The kids were taken from him. Phil and Ronnie are the people on the cover of the album.
The part "and leave this F*cked up place behind" reminds me when I was in the fandom and then realized how toxic it was (but now I found myself non-toxic fandom)
This song reminds me of my friends who turned into different, ruder , brattier people.. it’s hurts seeing how much they changed personalities. But I will know that they’re amazing people on the inside. Stay safe and happy out there it’s a interesting world out there.
Je repense à tous les moments passés étant petite,la naïveté, la gaieté, quand la seule chose à laquelle je me préoccupais était de m’amuser, ça me manque. Puis je me rappelle dans la réalité dans laquelle je suis aujourd’hui, tellement triste, je me sens enfermée, j’aimerai pourvoir m’évader.
I dont know if this song cheers me up or makes me think about it but thank you for making this :) my bird died about an hour ago so im kinda just here now🕊️❤️
I know you commented this 2 weeks ago but im sorry i know how it feels like to lose something or someone you love i hope your bird now rests in peace :)
I try not to listen to this song too much. It makes me feel a way I cant describe. The first time I heard it I had to turn it off because of how it made me feel but once I learned the backstory of it I was disgusted, not only by the terrible things Ronnie went through but how it confirmed that exact initial sense of the song relating to me. I went through a lot of similar things and all I wish is that Ronnie and her children would have never had to experience even an ounce of what they did. I would never wish something like that on anyone else. It still torments me. I have nightmares about My Ex. I still have scars. I was told I'd never be able to leave him. I had a legal name change and still I fear that I haven't escaped that past. I have to move on but god knowing what happened I wish I'd forget it all completely. Leaving him was terrifying but pure freedom. Still not yet feeling free. Its numbing.
This song actually has a dark backstory to it. for people who don’t know Ronnie Spector married to someone named Phil, who was a music producer for a few bands, and from the money they made they bought a mansion, but Phil barricaded the mansion so Ronnie couldn’t escape. He also hid Ronnie’s shoes to make sure. But the last straw was when Phil adopted 2 kids for her as a Christmas gift without permission. She eventually escaped and when Phil k***ed somebody else in his mansion, he got put in jail in 2003 for 19 years. Phil died in 2021 and Ronnie died in 2022.
I hope this song gets the respect and care it deserves. It’s an a amazing song about a horrible real world story. And one that still happens today indeed. I wish anyone experienced something like this the best.. Explanation: The story that this song is about: Ronnie Spector, who is a 60s Pop star who was abused and locked up by her husband Phil Spector, a songwriter, who used her for fame. In an attempt to keep her with him he adopted two twins as “Gifts “ On christmas. dubbed the Christmas Kids- the name of this song. Ronnie eventually escaped, but was unable to change her name due to being known under the name, Ronnie Spector. This is shown in the lyric “Change your name or change your mind” this was done so she could continue in the music industry. This song is supposed to be for awareness. (This is sort of a repost, just to spread the info.)
You walk into your new apartment, this is your home, you're an adult now, you're not a kid anymore, you moved out of your childhood, and into your adulthood Idk i wanted to do sum deep like the other ppl in these comments 😅
Reminds me about how my past best friend remembers a trio or a duo with another girl and me or just them , I remember being the little girl running after them in primary school after they ran away from me . I would never catch up to them and sit in the corner of the play ground reading a book by myself in the corner of the playground . I found comfort in the characters I read about and their relationships with others , in year six the days would blur together into a mess of the same routine and wanted to desperately wanting to be in book stories . The last day of year 6 she ignored me , I tried to connect to her after I had a really problematic friendship, she told me she would be friends with me if I decided to stop being friends with her , she ignores me and I just follow them around in the group , safe to say the best friendships I’ve had weren’t even real , I think what happened makes me have a bad grasp on reality as the stories I read and what I did that say merged together for my younger self.
This reminds me of my past abusive relationship. He saw me go through all sorts of trauma, and probably caused even more. He saw me move on and become almost a different person when I started dating a friend of his. A better person.
I came from a GTA 5 Michael and Trevor angst edit lmao. Music makes me wanna cry for some reason, great video I was looking for someone to make a 10 minute one even though you can loop the video.
when life destroyed you, you must change your identity forever. Everyone will know who were and what you did, and no one will forget no matter what you do to change yourself. no sin can ever be appeased by the minds you warped.
i only understand the leave the f****** place behind but ill know part so for me that just hits hard because my crush has depression, but shes only online but the bad thing is i will only know if she disappears. ill know. ill only know. no one notices her but me. i want her to notice shes not alone :( i want her to know shes important but i cant :( edit: she said she would commit.. she said I love you and I haven't heard from her in like a week.
I was picked on extremely growing up. All because of how I looked and acted, and at one point I wanted to change who I was completely. I wanted to stay home, I wanted to just cover my whole body. I was picked on about the stupidest things, like having an abnormal amount of hair on me. But it was so constant that I felt like something was wrong with me. Luckily I moved away from there, but I still have anxiety going to school because of the fake friends and the amount I was bullied mentally and physically. I wasn’t abused at home, which is why I’m still doing well.
This gives a weird feeling because I just found this song when I went depressed because my gf broke up with me. I get made fun of this at school and I keep coming home telling my mom and dad that every thing is ok and school was great and I don’t think it’s time for me to tell what I been through in school I just quited so many games my life keeps getting worse my mom is starting to feel a lot of worse and she’s even starting to say she’s gone die and I just go to my room lock the door lay in my bed and start crying I’m a young boy trying to be the best for my family life for me has gone a lot worse so many things happing to me then all the sudden my grandmother dies now my mom is depressed because my grandmother was my moms mom she loved her so much including myself I just can’t let go of my mom hands I just want to protect her in all cost and my dad and my sister i just been thinking I want to leave this fucked up world and just die but I always tell god to help my but all I can do is to protect my life just tells me to leave this fucked up life behind but I just can’t there’s so many things I love and it’s fucked up my life feels like it will Never get better this song makes me think about my fucked up life it even makes me cry I have changed my life 4 Times and still won’t get better I think it’s time to tell my parents I think it’s for us to leave and leave fucked shit behind in my mind I don’t know what to do. I just think about being a failure I think it’s time for me to grow up for this fucked up life change my mind and change my life again and restart everyone to a new start. finally I been feeling better and now all is left in my mind is “leave this fucked up plane behind.”
Love it Edit: This Song Helps Me Alot When I Am Crying. I Always Calm Down From This Video, Rn I Am Crying People People Never Allow Me To Cent About My Problems , I Always Have A Burden On My Back. I Always Cry And Vent To Myself, I Am Never Allowed To Speak. Always Cutted Ofdf, My Channel Failing, Everybody Scolding Me. Scars From Bullying. Depression. Nobody cares for me but this video, means alot.thznk you for creating this.
I’ve been listening to this song and had it stuck in my head. 6 months ago my ex and I broke up. I’ve been heartbroken ever since but sorta moving on but would be sad about her sometimes. Thing is she hide so many things and I feel like she cheated. She also went MIA on me even though I was trying to get answers from her so I could have the whole story but nope she didn’t want to answer so I only had my Version. I thought we got somewhere when I asked her for closure in person and she said sure and so we both opened up to each other. Yesterday though she text me from another number saying that I told the whole social work program at our school about our breakup and kept bringing up people that I didn’t even talk to. She even brought up a friend of mine and I got so mad at the friend and my ex. Now I kinda think my friend and I arent on good terms. I don’t get what’s up with my ex and her lying and manipulation, but it’s crushing me. It got so bad I thought that I don’t even want to go to class on Friday since most of the people she named are in that class. I don’t know who to trust anymore. Plus I’m going to be working with my ex for six hours next Saturday and honestly if she tries and talks to me I’m going to ignore because my life has been hell since our breakup all thanks to her.
I’m glad this song is popular the song is actually based on a real world story which is why on of the lyrics is “if you ever try to leave me i’ll find you Ronnie”
I remember when i used to be so happy and energetic, I’ve changed I find nothing fun and I stay silent wear a mask of happiness like everything is okay it’s not nothing is ok it never really has been I just hide it because they won’t understand

The saddest part is that sometimes they never did change they just shows their true colors and the kind person you loved was nothing more then a mask.

But if men we make a effort, we can be nothing like them, but I guess we can just try not remember that we(sorry if "we" is a odd term for this) are hour on person and what you look like doesn't detrimen that. Have a nice day/night
This song reminds me of my childhood. My house was super toxic and everyone was yelling even at eachother. My ears hurt so bad. (There’s a lot of other stuff that I’m leaving out for personal reasons) Once I turned 18 I left. And I swore to myself that I’d never talk to them. I was so ashamed of myself I changed my name. I changed who I was completely. I would never see myself the same. I was somebody different. One day I looked in the mirror and realized even though I’m a different person. I’m still that child who was abused. Even though no one knows and I look fine. I’ll always know what happened. I’m still that kid and I always will. I have my parents DNA. Even though I’m someone different I’m still the same scared kid. I’ll know who I was and who I am. So glad I stumbled across this song because it really describes me in a toxic and abusive household. My heart goes out to anyone who has also gone through this
Are you okay...
@@Water_down_the_stream I’m okay man. Sometimes people don’t have a good childhood and get abused. It hurts mentally right now but I’ll live. I’m so much happier now I don’t live with them.
@@waffles3312 what was your old name?
@@OSCSHITPOST wdym
you said you changed your name
this part of the song reminds me of the SA i experienced when i was only a child.. it makes me feel angry, but also a sense of calm, because though i have to live with the memory of it, i know he does too, and he’ll have to live with the horrible thing HE did for the rest of his life.
@alhaitham.117 i’m living with it, trying to better myself with the 5 people who mean the world to me, thank you for asking
Man stfu i dont care LoL
Did he get arrested
@@duecevenue8525 it was child on child SA, so no..
honestly this reminds me of the SA I had as well
this is my favorite song
its sad, but it feels comforting, im just sitting there melting, i can’t cry anymore but im sad beyond even trying to.
like somebody pulling you into a different world
I found this song today, it remembered me that whenever I felt overwhelmed and hopeless I wanted to leave this fucked up place behind and start a new and a new identity and live peacefully...but I know It won't happen
I’ve been struggling with Bipolar 1 and Schizophrenia for years and just in the past week I’ve stopped taking my meds. I’m hearing and seeing that things that aren’t there, getting aggressive and not being able to control myself in any aspect. I’ve lost my friends and my partner, there’s no one or thing left for me. This song though somehow feels sympathetic for me and makes me feel less alone.
i want to leave everything behind and just go man. im so tired.
This song reminds me off how someone can change but they will also be the person they were before even if they change they will still be that same person.
This song (especially this part) reminds me so badly of my estranged best friend before he completely changed and just listening to this makes me realise that I will always remember him for being such a caring and funny dork before he went into a snarky, selfish asshole and that despite his new persona I know who he used to be once
Sudden i feel like my Disappointment is so big that i grabbed my butt and fly away
I had the best little ragtag group of friends in 6th grade. 2 moved, and 1 doesn’t talk to me much anymore. But I still really care for them. I saw both kids who moved recently. Within the last few months or so. One at a party, and the other at an audition. We talked as if the other had never left. I could tell I wasn’t the only one wishing we were all still together. Those 3 people made age 11 the best year of my life. Now, I have tons of friends. Most of them are pretty good people, too. But it’s not the same, somehow. Everyone says romance is true love, but I’ve never loved anyone more than my 6th grade friends. Perhaps I never will.
BRO, WE HAD THE SAME 6TH GRADE????, I moved from my friends in February
bro this comment got me crying
This is so good. I'm moving out of a pretty toxic place soon and basically my one friend is one of the only things I'm going to miss. This song makes me feel like, ill "leave this fucked up place behind." But they will still know how great friends we are and everything we've been through together and so will I ❤. "You'll change your name, you'll change your mind and leave this fucked up place behind. But I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know I'll know."
why did this make me tear up. i'm so happy for you & hope you stay close with your friend
Reminds me of leaving my old toxic home situation where I dealt with so much mental and emotional abuse I felt so much relief but I had to leave my sister behind.. I'll see her again.. it's been over 2 years but soon...
This song gives me this odd feeling. Kinda lightheaded. It gives me imagines and just de ja vu. I get chills up my spine. This iso soooo good
Every time I listen to this song, It reminds me of hundreds of little animals leaving a polluted wasteland left by a power hungry ceo making scarves and that very same ceo taking his hat off when a short orange dwarf pinches his rear end and starts levitating up to the heavens above while the ceo gestures him to come back
I can't stop thinking of Stan and Kyle
Just stop then 🗿
Bet u werent even thinking abt them before reading my reply

This reminds me of the lorax leaving me...
"Im going to escape and you wont know how" is the best for me 😍🤞
Conversely i like the opening section much more than this part, that whole tells a sad story of obsession in itself
Man i miss my buddy lorax
I often think about the way it used to be . Our family was far from ideal ,none of us were happy . It was for the better. So why is it that I can’t help but to miss it all .people always say how difficult it must be for me.I pretend it’s not ,but it is .
Little background to this song-
It's about the lead singer of the band, The Ronnettes. Her name was Ronnie Ronnette. Her husband, Phil, was extremely abusive. His perspective is the first part of the song, hence the lyric, "Ronnette my dear, don't ever disappear. do what you want as long as you stay here." After the do do dodo do do do do doo we hear it change to Ronnies perspective. "I'm leaving Phil, I'm leaving now. I'm going the escape but you wont know how."
Ronnie was Phil's wife, and he was abusive towards her. He wouldn't let her leave him or the house without him. He would hide her shoes and threaten her, he even had a casket he kept to scare her. On Christmas he adopted 2 children..the Christmas kids. He used them as a method to guilt her so she wouldn't leave. Eventually she did escape him. The kids were taken from him.
Phil and Ronnie are the people on the cover of the album.
People on RUclips who post smooth loops of the best parts of some songs deserve the world
Unbelievably smooth transition. Perfect for today, thank you.
WE WATCHING THE LORAX LEAVING US WITH THIS ONE🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥😭😭😭😭💯💯💯💯💯💯
My friend had to move cuz his family had all of the stuff there, and i still remember the last day i was with him for a long time.
Finally i found this looping vid i need the most. Feel Like i have connection with this song even i dont know why. Maybe i been through alot
The part "and leave this F*cked up place behind" reminds me when I was in the fandom and then realized how toxic it was (but now I found myself non-toxic fandom)
Thanks for making such a great loop it's so good you can't really tell that it loops but thank you I love this song.
This song reminds me of my friends who turned into different, ruder , brattier people.. it’s hurts seeing how much they changed personalities. But I will know that they’re amazing people on the inside. Stay safe and happy out there it’s a interesting world out there.
I feel like I am one of those changed friends, and I feel really ashamed about it, and many other things. I feel like I can never please anyone.
Je repense à tous les moments passés étant petite,la naïveté, la gaieté, quand la seule chose à laquelle je me préoccupais était de m’amuser, ça me manque.
Puis je me rappelle dans la réalité dans laquelle je suis aujourd’hui, tellement triste, je me sens enfermée, j’aimerai pourvoir m’évader.
oh mon dieu ça me manque. je veux à être plus comme ce
Exactly how I feel.
The feeling of leaving your home country to migrate on another country and leaving your only Real Friend that's been there for you ever since you met.
I dont know if this song cheers me up or makes me think about it but thank you for making this :) my bird died about an hour ago so im kinda just here now🕊️❤️
rest in peace
😔💔
@@ilove3amwater Thank you, I hope you had a good week!🫶❤️❤️
@@wolfshards765 Thank you :) have a good rest of your day❤️
I know you commented this 2 weeks ago but im sorry i know how it feels like to lose something or someone you love i hope your bird now rests in peace :)
sometimes, I hear this and usually i have ptsd due to past childhood. I just cannot forget everything it is simple too much
I was literally looking for this thank you so much
I fucking hate myself sm
lmao same
i do too but i hope we’ll be okay
same bro
Here's to it getting better .-.
real i even wanna kms
this gives me nostalgia
I try not to listen to this song too much. It makes me feel a way I cant describe. The first time I heard it I had to turn it off because of how it made me feel but once I learned the backstory of it I was disgusted, not only by the terrible things Ronnie went through but how it confirmed that exact initial sense of the song relating to me. I went through a lot of similar things and all I wish is that Ronnie and her children would have never had to experience even an ounce of what they did. I would never wish something like that on anyone else. It still torments me. I have nightmares about My Ex. I still have scars. I was told I'd never be able to leave him. I had a legal name change and still I fear that I haven't escaped that past. I have to move on but god knowing what happened I wish I'd forget it all completely. Leaving him was terrifying but pure freedom. Still not yet feeling free. Its numbing.
It’s fucking my favourite song.I replay the video again and again 💔
THIS IS PURE PERFECTION WTH
thank you so so much for making this, that part speaks to me somehow and I really needed it today
this hits diff when its a south park edit
This song actually has a dark backstory to it.
for people who don’t know Ronnie Spector married to someone named Phil, who was a music producer for a few bands, and from the money they made they bought a mansion, but Phil barricaded the mansion so Ronnie couldn’t escape.
He also hid Ronnie’s shoes to make sure.
But the last straw was when Phil adopted 2 kids for her as a Christmas gift without permission.
She eventually escaped and when Phil k***ed somebody else in his mansion, he got put in jail in 2003 for 19 years.
Phil died in 2021 and Ronnie died in 2022.
this reminds me of 2021-2022- and like early 2023/summer 2023... And how im gonna miss being young when i get older. ;-;
I honestly can't hear this song the same way again now that i know what it means
I hope this song gets the respect and care it deserves. It’s an a amazing song about a horrible real world story. And one that still happens today indeed. I wish anyone experienced something like this the best..
Explanation:
The story that this song is about: Ronnie Spector, who is a 60s Pop star who was abused and locked up by her husband Phil Spector, a songwriter, who used her for fame. In an attempt to keep her with him he adopted two twins as “Gifts “ On christmas. dubbed the Christmas Kids- the name of this song.
Ronnie eventually escaped, but was unable to change her name due to being known under the name, Ronnie Spector. This is shown in the lyric “Change your name or change your mind” this was done so she could continue in the music industry.
This song is supposed to be for awareness. (This is sort of a repost, just to spread the info.)
When you realise the Lorax was your best friend after all
I’ve been singing this only part in my head for so long so now I can listen to this thank you so much for this type❤
You walk into your new apartment, this is your home, you're an adult now, you're not a kid anymore, you moved out of your childhood, and into your adulthood
Idk i wanted to do sum deep like the other ppl in these comments 😅
Omg thank you! I've been looking for something like this for awhile now!!
Reminds me about how my past best friend remembers a trio or a duo with another girl and me or just them , I remember being the little girl running after them in primary school after they ran away from me . I would never catch up to them and sit in the corner of the play ground reading a book by myself in the corner of the playground . I found comfort in the characters I read about and their relationships with others , in year six the days would blur together into a mess of the same routine and wanted to desperately wanting to be in book stories . The last day of year 6 she ignored me , I tried to connect to her after I had a really problematic friendship, she told me she would be friends with me if I decided to stop being friends with her , she ignores me and I just follow them around in the group , safe to say the best friendships I’ve had weren’t even real , I think what happened makes me have a bad grasp on reality as the stories I read and what I did that say merged together for my younger self.
Thank you so much for this :)
Everytime i listen to this song i feel like im not alone
This band needs a rediscovery.
Ong
This reminds me of my past abusive relationship. He saw me go through all sorts of trauma, and probably caused even more. He saw me move on and become almost a different person when I started dating a friend of his. A better person.
I came from a GTA 5 Michael and Trevor angst edit lmao.
Music makes me wanna cry for some reason, great video I was looking for someone to make a 10 minute one even though you can loop the video.
wait how do you loop a yt vid idk how man 😭😭
@@squeebkat ok so when u click on the video, you’ll see a setting icon on the top right corner then press that, you will see a loop option
POV: You want to make a "The Lorax leaving" meme.
Me: tries to give marshmallow to bear
**the fucking lorax floating to heaven as the bear mauls me to death**
this remembers me of my best friend leaving me locked up in the bathroom for 2 weeks
when life destroyed you, you must change your identity forever. Everyone will know who were and what you did, and no one will forget no matter what you do to change yourself. no sin can ever be appeased by the minds you warped.
i only understand the leave the f****** place behind but ill know part so for me that just hits hard because my crush has depression, but shes only online but the bad thing is i will only know if she disappears. ill know. ill only know. no one notices her but me. i want her to notice shes not alone :( i want her to know shes important but i cant :(
edit: she said she would commit.. she said I love you and I haven't heard from her in like a week.
"this song gives me an overwhelming feeling of pure gri-"
Christmas Kids - Roar enjoyers:
Ik 💀
3:30 am soul crushing realization that I will never be the one for her, I was just one to her.
I have to give credit to this song, it has helped me though some rough times.
can’t think of this song without the Lorax flying
When I listen to this, I feel the lorax coming inside me 😢😢😢
best transition
Nah, the best part is "if you ever try to leave me..."
I was picked on extremely growing up. All because of how I looked and acted, and at one point I wanted to change who I was completely. I wanted to stay home, I wanted to just cover my whole body. I was picked on about the stupidest things, like having an abnormal amount of hair on me. But it was so constant that I felt like something was wrong with me. Luckily I moved away from there, but I still have anxiety going to school because of the fake friends and the amount I was bullied mentally and physically. I wasn’t abused at home, which is why I’m still doing well.
I SOUND LIKE AN ATTENTION SEEKER NGL -
Thank you so much
This gives a weird feeling because I just found this song when I went depressed because my gf broke up with me. I get made fun of this at school and I keep coming home telling my mom and dad that every thing is ok and school was great and
I don’t think it’s time for me to tell what I been through in school I just quited so many games my life keeps getting worse my mom is starting to feel a lot of worse and she’s even starting to say she’s gone die and
I just go to my room lock the door lay in my bed and start crying I’m a young boy trying to be the best for my family life for me has gone a lot worse so many things happing to me then all the sudden my grandmother dies now my mom is depressed because my grandmother was my moms mom she loved her so much including myself I just can’t let go of my mom hands I just want to protect her in all cost and my dad and my sister i just been thinking I want to leave this fucked up world and just die but I always tell god to help my but all I can do is to protect my life just tells me to leave this fucked up life behind but I just can’t there’s so many things I love and it’s fucked up my life feels like it will
Never get better this song makes me think about my fucked up life it even makes me cry I have changed my life 4
Times and still won’t get better I think it’s time to tell my parents I think it’s for us to leave and leave fucked shit behind in my mind I don’t know what to do. I just think about being a failure I think it’s time for me to grow up for this fucked up life change my mind and change my life again and restart everyone to a new start. finally I been feeling better and now all is left in my mind is “leave this fucked up plane behind.”
I woke up just now & listening this continuously......
Time flies-
ngl, that hit hard
I listen to this song after i cried or when im sad and it really warm my heart
Love it
Edit: This Song Helps Me Alot When I Am Crying. I Always Calm Down From This Video, Rn I Am Crying People People Never Allow Me To Cent About My Problems , I Always Have A Burden On My Back. I Always Cry And Vent To Myself, I Am Never Allowed To Speak. Always Cutted Ofdf, My Channel Failing, Everybody Scolding Me. Scars From Bullying. Depression. Nobody cares for me but this video, means alot.thznk you for creating this.
So good
The Lorax leaving me:
I’ve been listening to this song and had it stuck in my head. 6 months ago my ex and I broke up. I’ve been heartbroken ever since but sorta moving on but would be sad about her sometimes. Thing is she hide so many things and I feel like she cheated. She also went MIA on me even though I was trying to get answers from her so I could have the whole story but nope she didn’t want to answer so I only had my Version. I thought we got somewhere when I asked her for closure in person and she said sure and so we both opened up to each other. Yesterday though she text me from another number saying that I told the whole social work program at our school about our breakup and kept bringing up people that I didn’t even talk to. She even brought up a friend of mine and I got so mad at the friend and my ex. Now I kinda think my friend and I arent on good terms. I don’t get what’s up with my ex and her lying and manipulation, but it’s crushing me. It got so bad I thought that I don’t even want to go to class on Friday since most of the people she named are in that class. I don’t know who to trust anymore. Plus I’m going to be working with my ex for six hours next Saturday and honestly if she tries and talks to me I’m going to ignore because my life has been hell since our breakup all thanks to her.
I’ll know, I’ll know. I’ll know, I’ll know.
ill love to leave this place behind but her...sike there is no her and there will never be ill be alone for ever and ive exceted it
WE MAKIN IT OUT OF KNEES FACTORY WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
I’m glad this song is popular the song is actually based on a real world story which is why on of the lyrics is “if you ever try to leave me i’ll find you Ronnie”
I remember when i used to be so happy and energetic, I’ve changed I find nothing fun and I stay silent wear a mask of happiness like everything is okay it’s not nothing is ok it never really has been I just hide it because they won’t understand
"I have 3 months left for my birthday..."
