The fact this song was made for his ex-girlfriend because she was moving to brooklyn is so sad. Imagine someone having this much love for you that they make a whole song??? Screaming, throwing up crying on the floor.
3:04 that part hurts me just because of joe’s voice crack. it sounds sad but sweet at the same time, like “man it sucks we can’t be together but we had a good time and I still love you”
@@soopman117 When the band was still in college Joe wrote the song "our lullabye" for his girlfriend at the time when she left to go to law school. Thier relationship eventually turned sour and they split up. Apparently that breakup still affects joe to this day
[Lyrics] You and I haven’t been before And all the love from times of yours never more now I don’t know how Lullaby only made for two I’ve waited since the start of time to sing it now for you And I love you I really do It’s all been heard before But now I need it more Hear me here Someday my voice might not be near.. Here we are floating in the dark And though we don’t know where we’re going we embark on Sail on Sail on We’ve only so much time I wish you could be mine Evermore Maybe there’s nowhere to explore I was made for you You were made for me Simply You and me We’re made to be It’s standard fair But I don’t care Right now We’re now Lullaby floating in the dark Along with all the other songs that came before ours Lost in the stars I won’t be overdue This song was made for you.. I’ll love you till you’re gone Our song goes on and on Goodnight and maybe we were sleeping after all..
(Small correction) at the start of the song, the word likely isn’t « times of “yours”» but times of “yore” which refers to a long time back or a time in the past, but isn’t a very common word to hear in casual speech (if this is actually wrong tho and I look like an idiot correcting u feel free to ignore, it’s just what I heard and felt made the most sense w the context of the rest of the song)
I think he says “now I *MEAN* it more” instead of “now I need it more” It also sounds more like “this song was *MEANT* for you” instead of “made for you”
@@lapiseqrealnot even gonna mention the placeholder lyrics from the demos (which even though written before Hawaii part two had a story (I don’t think it has a story outside of being about how Joe coped with 9/11) have names to charicters that were fully placeholder and not meant to be there in the final), no demo would relate to the final story of the album. It’s like saying a prototype of a game is part of the story (even while changed), which is nonsense. Hope you enjoyed my nonsensical rant
@@organ-dealer Sorry i don't even remember writing this comment 😭😭 I mean oka if you like it you like it i'm not gonna force you to not like it or anything
It’s because Hawaii part two is written like a musical. Joe plays Simon, Marvin, and The Machine plus a few others. Different distortion is a different character.
All the touch-starved people understand when I say that the line “And I love you, I really do” makes my heart ache so much and my skin feels empty and cold without the embrace from another person. It hurts but its so comforting at the same time to hear someone say those words with so much emotion. Its like you could sense that they were probably thinking of someone special when singing.
i just had the idea of some cocomelon ripoff but instead of classic songs its everything from tally hall, miracle musical, and everything just *around* tally hall.
"Lullaby only made for two i’ve waited since the start of time to sing it now for you and I love you I really do" "It’s all been heard before but now I need it more hear me here someday my voice might not be near" those lyrics are litteraly stuck in my head

It's all a circle. Joe connects his love with a girl who is far away from him. He takes his feelings and puts them into his music. You feel that through the music and connect it with own feelings. And then connect it to someone you're missing. So we're the listener and the singer, the intended audience, the one missing and the one being missed. You feel melancholy, and yet comforted-you may be lonely, but you're not alone. Empathy.

this song makes me want to acquire a boat and go out on the lake by my grandparents' house with my ukulele and play this song in the middle of the night
This demo will forever hold a special place in my heart, and mind. The beat, Joe’s voice. It matches together perfectly. The reason why he created this song seems so sweet, and heartwarming too. The lyrics of this whole song just sound so beautiful and sad. Bittersweet. The part that I seriously can’t get out of my head is around 1:50 and wow, again with the rhythm/background music along with joes voice seems so lovely. Now I love music, it’s like a part of me at this point. And very few songs make me wanna talk about it forever explaining why I love it, like this one. Now that I found it, I do wish they kept this version but I understand why they changed it. If I wrote a song about a past relationship, that was never fully publicly released, I wouldn’t see a reason to share it to the world. It’s like secret treasure, hidden away from the world. I find that lovely. Stranded Lullaby is still a great song, and I love it too. But I’m so glad I was introduced to this demo version aswell :)
this is like.. my favorite demo ever?? idk. i get why the lyrics were changed, the finished version def needed that change, yet i still appreciate this version so much. it’s so calming & gentle. i can’t put it into words, but i just really, really like this. thanks joe
It's good to see that people have still come here to listen to such a beautiful song. I hope everyone of you have a great day and enjoy your life. There is always going to be a point in time where you doubt yourself, but remember that things can get better- so never give up. Know that someone loves you, and if you can't think of anyone, well- I'll love you. Once again, have a beautiful life and know that I care 💕
Oh my, that truly brought a tear to my eye. Thanks bud, really needed that :) I’ve been pretty mad for no reason and I’ve been taking it out on others by accident. Thank you so much :)
i constantly thing about this song , and I've realised . he wrote this melody and these lyrics for his then girlfriend , it was a genuine emotion filled song just for her . but then he completely redid the theme of the song and repurposed the melody of the song for hp2 , changing the lyrics to fit the albums story . it went from a genuine love song by a man to his girlfriend , to a song about the story of man being apart from history girlfriend
I kissed my best friend last night. He later told me that whenever he was singing this while we were hanging out together, that was his way of letting out his feelings for me without any suspicion bc I knew he just liked to sing. His voice almost sounds exactly like this guy's voice. Man. 17 months later update: It ended smoothly, back to being friends like nothing happened. It was a very good run.
this is the first demo that i can say that i like just as much as the original, no more, no less. the lyrics are so different but it's still got the same feel, still so beautiful. edit: okay i fucking love stranded lullaby (oh yeah and i'm aware that there's not a single person alive atm that cares about what i think but i don't got anywhere better to say it) but my lord this is so much better. stranded lullaby is beautiful and amazing and so on, but this feels so much better. the album version is about missing someone, as they're gone, and now you're drifting alone at sea, hoping one day to cross paths once more, still regretting the relationship you no longer have, realizing what you did wrong. but this is more about savoring the little time you have left with them. you know you will part in the future, and you want to make them certain that you love them with all your heart. you'll love them till they're gone. sucks that it wouldn't fit with the whole story hawaii part II seems to portray, but damn this would've been so much better to have as the final version. alas, past is past. edit part ii: man this became weirdly relevant to my life
This describes my perspective VERY well of this song, using the little time you have left wanting to have a long term lasting effect that will be with them for as long as they live. Forever, the lullaby made for both of them making them for eachother
a good half a year ago i commented on the old deleted video of this song, ' one day ill sing this to my boyfriend.' that day never came because he broke up with me a few months after i posted that comment. i still love this song though
i was watching that like hour long hawaii part ii analysis at 2am and i was so braindead and half asleep in my chair lol the video started playing stranded lullaby and i felt genuinely,, upset ??almost like hopelessness or something i just felt so sad and somber during the song i felt this. like. strong feeling of "wow hawaii part ii really is beautiful the album is so deep" and at the same time like "all good things must come to an end" and thinking about it now was so confusing like why did ONE song make me feel all these things its actually insane im so confused but at the same time sometimes i feel like i would do anything to experience that again like feel the beauty of that song and i think hawaii part ii or maybe just stranded lullaby affected me in some way the addiction for tally hall stretches deeper than i can comprehend and now whenever i hear stranded lullaby (or any hawaii part ii song) its all i can think of
I’m finally going to meet my boyfriend Dec.18th. Back in Sept 2018 I found this song and wanted to play it for him. After 2 years of waiting he will finally hear this for the first time with me in his arms. Edit - We had to cancel the trip, maybe next time.. EDIT - WE MET UP TODAY AND I FINALLY GOT TO PLAY THIS FOR HIM, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH IT WAS SO WORTH WAITING 3 YEARS Edit 2024 - Hai :3 sorry for the sad update, we’re breaking up but its for the best. I deserve better
This feels like the perfect goodbye for a roleplay story me and my best friend had. The main characters were in love, the female character belonged to me, and the male character belonged to my friend. They had a really sweet relationship. I know this is something that my best friend’s character would sing to my character, and it feels so bittersweet it’s perfect. I miss the story, and I feel bad for the characters. They deserved so much more. They deserved more time.
Such a beautiful album whenever i revisit it gives such a beautiful feeling no matter if im at the lowest point or highest i will always be picked up by this album and these demos give me a new feeling to my favorite album so thank you for posting these
This demo is so lovely. It feels so emotion driven, it kinda makes me wanna fall in love. Joe really poured his heart out, maybe one day I could do the same thing. Either way, definitely hits differently when listening to it in the middle of the night.
One part i really love about this song is that, because you can hear every little sound that normally gets cut out of songs, it sounds like you're actually right there with Simon and his dead girlfriend
I love this version of the song more than the original. It made me feel a way no other song has ever made me feel, especially if you're reading the lyrics while listening to the song. It invokes this feeling of longing and grief, but also comfort and true love. It sounds really mushy, but true love is the one of the only ways it can be described. Stranded Lullaby's demo nearly drove me to tears. The lyrics, combined with the melody and all, is truly, entirely beautiful. I can't stress this enough; I love this song so much. I could listen to it for hours on end. I felt genuinely moved while listening. Some of the lyrics stab like a knife through my heart and soul and mine. "Hear me here, someday my voice may not be near." That line hurts, yet, still, I love it. Words cannot explain how much I love this song. I nearly cried listening to this song, and I haven't cried in 3 years, so that's how you know this is a truly indescribably beautiful piece of art. It's so bitter-sweet. This song makes me think of when I had only one friend I felt I could really trust. We had a bond. Sadly, she moved away. I've not thought about her for a long, long time. But, now, reminiscing over my friendship with her, I feel a knot in my stomach and as if I'd been stabbed in the heart, and it hurt and felt good at the same time. I miss her more than ever. Thank you so, so much for posting this here on this platform. I haven't like this ever before, and I'm glad I have. Edit: I did it, After 3 years of emotional numbness, I did it. I cried. I heard the song, sang along, deep in the lyrics, and quietly cried myself to sleep. It felt strange. An overwhelming sense of sadness and longing, yet, I found warmth in the embrace of Joe Hawley's somber yet sweet song. We need more songs like this. Beautifully profound, albeit sappy, lyrics to beautiful acoustic guitars behind beautiful, genuine, emotional voices. Thank you so much for letting me have this experience.
i find myself coming back to this multiple times a month since first hearing it.. and i seriously think this is one of the best pieces of music i’ve ever heard. joe’s voice is just gorgeous in this. overall, one of my favorite songs and so in love with so many small parts of it. ❤️
I'm listening to this with my dog we have to put down in the next few days, it's supposed to be more of a romantic song but I think it can be applied to this type of love as well. I'll love her till she's gone, then after that forever ❤️❤️
@@atotallyrandomperson3889 Agreed. Time machine is the protagonist attempting to go back to his youth with the lover he lost, and in the context of the other songs, likely in the form of a boat to travel the pacific. Stranded Lullaby is that protagonist lost at sea, the only thing keeping him going being his delirium. Dream Sweet in Sea Major is his final moments before death, believing he reunited with his lover, finally able to pass on.
@@dgrunklesamiii4615 That's what I thought I couldn't put it in words but could picture it like the protagonist uses a boat as he was a sailor and practiced science
Nobody cares, but this song hit me like a sledgehammer because I was forced to move away across a whole state away from my girlfriend. We have been together for 5 years and we both love miracle musical, and funnily enough the non-demo of this song is her favorite song. I miss her more than anything and barely get to talk to her often because of the fact that we both have chaotic lives and different timezones, but we’ve made it work, this song reminds me of her. This is awesome, and the song is beautiful. Goodnight, and maybe we’re sleeping after all
Ive been dealing with a really stressful situation lately, and for some reason this song is the only thing that can comfort me- joe hawley out here saving my emotions 😭💀
@@Jupiterr-w7w stranded lullaby left me traumatized and wondering if this was meant to be; but i might sing this to my lover, if i ever have one. or i might just sing it to my baby cousin next month; however if i do not survive uuhh uh theen nobody would have to hear a drug addicted raspy throated teenager try to comfort a baby
as somebody who wishes to experience love but never has, it pains me knowing that there are others who have lost their one true love. i have fallen once, and still adore this person, but i sadly cannot.
i always think about my crush when i listen to this song. now i'm afraid im never going to see them again, we never spoke that much and they dont know me but i had a crush on them for 2 years now. They're leaving school this year and i dont know what i'll do without them.
now i know im late, but you should get their number ! get to know them and just talk for a bit, one day you guys might find each other again. and one day, when the time's right, make your move ! if they dont accept, dont worry, just dont lash out at them. good luck, m8 !
Eyepatch! they left school and with this situation i still havent seen them again but this summer i literally met a girl that knows them and could arrange a match, the point is that i dont want to anymore because this is not the way i wanted it to happen (there sum stuff going on for this meeting to happen). I’m still waiting though, for a better chance of our paths crossing again
@@glassmunch oh wow, well keep enduring trying to meet up if you still have feelings ! you tenaciousness will pay off in the long run. good luck anyway ! :-D
Eyepatch! i think that i have to let it go, but wont give up of finding a partner for me! i just wanted to be their friend anyways because i had no chance
whenever i listen to this song it makes me cry really hard considering that all of my past relationships did not work out well and that ill never be able to find someone who truly loves me for just being myself purely
seeing the immense love someone can have for just a person at the point of making a song is something that feels both warming and depressing. Like, I lost most of my closest friends or they just grew out of interest of me like I was some sort of toy and seeing this feels good to hear like some sort of comfort-ish song
It’s 4:50 am in this car, and I am crying. This was the last song I sang to my grandmama before she died, and I can never finish singing it because of how much I miss her.
So I was at school listening to this demo and no joke I almost cried. There is just something about this demo that feels so real to me. I have never really experienced romantic love before but this song,man it hits hard.
this actually hit me so hard, i know the feeling the song gets u, the “and i love you, i really do” reminded me so much of someone i used to love like crazy, they sadly left me for someone else, but they were my everything
So anyway, I started crying
So true bestie so true 😩😩

If I wrote a song about a past relationship, that was never fully publicly released, I wouldn’t see a reason to share it to the world. It’s like secret treasure, hidden away from the world. I find that lovely. Stranded Lullaby is still a great song, and I love it too. But I’m so glad I was introduced to this demo version aswell :)
when it comes to calm songs like this, i always prefer the demo version. because its unfinished, it feels more raw and personal.
this is like.. my favorite demo ever?? idk. i get why the lyrics were changed, the finished version def needed that change, yet i still appreciate this version so much. it’s so calming & gentle. i can’t put it into words, but i just really, really like this. thanks joe
"i was made for you"
"you were made for me"
"thats amazing"
"i'll love you til you're gone"
"our song goes on and on"
😭😭
The other upload of this song was deleted along with lots of other miracle music tracks sadly but oh well. At least this one is still up
Crassula Thot i know it’s not really the same but, all of the deleted demos are still in this video ruclips.net/video/IX6rLyvppWU/видео.html

It's good to see that people have still come here to listen to such a beautiful song. I hope everyone of you have a great day and enjoy your life.
There is always going to be a point in time where you doubt yourself, but remember that things can get better- so never give up. Know that someone loves you, and if you can't think of anyone, well- I'll love you.
Once again, have a beautiful life and know that I care 💕
I really needed this today, thank you so much
@@tuead112 No problem buddy, that's why I'm here❤
Oh my, that truly brought a tear to my eye. Thanks bud, really needed that :) I’ve been pretty mad for no reason and I’ve been taking it out on others by accident. Thank you so much :)
take care of yourself and drink your daily water please🥺❤️
Thank you
that was the most beautiful voicecrack i've ever heard
i constantly thing about this song , and I've realised . he wrote this melody and these lyrics for his then girlfriend , it was a genuine emotion filled song just for her . but then he completely redid the theme of the song and repurposed the melody of the song for hp2 , changing the lyrics to fit the albums story .
it went from a genuine love song by a man to his girlfriend , to a song about the story of man being apart from history girlfriend
I love how the singing slowly splits into two different voices
this has me thinking and sobbing
I kissed my best friend last night.
He later told me that whenever he was singing this while we were hanging out together, that was his way of letting out his feelings for me without any suspicion bc I knew he just liked to sing. His voice almost sounds exactly like this guy's voice.
Man.
17 months later update: It ended smoothly, back to being friends like nothing happened. It was a very good run.
Congratulations!
I hope you guys stay happy forever.
I didn't intend for that to sound as ominous as it did.
@@norajit LMAO it's okay I appreciate it. still goin strongg
Congrat to both of you ^^ I wish you the best
Aw congrats
To say I sobbed my eye out at this would be an understatement anyways LULLABY ONLY MADE FOR TWO🗣🗣🗣🔥
this is the first demo that i can say that i like just as much as the original, no more, no less. the lyrics are so different but it's still got the same feel, still so beautiful.
edit: okay i fucking love stranded lullaby (oh yeah and i'm aware that there's not a single person alive atm that cares about what i think but i don't got anywhere better to say it) but my lord this is so much better. stranded lullaby is beautiful and amazing and so on, but this feels so much better. the album version is about missing someone, as they're gone, and now you're drifting alone at sea, hoping one day to cross paths once more, still regretting the relationship you no longer have, realizing what you did wrong. but this is more about savoring the little time you have left with them. you know you will part in the future, and you want to make them certain that you love them with all your heart. you'll love them till they're gone. sucks that it wouldn't fit with the whole story hawaii part II seems to portray, but damn this would've been so much better to have as the final version. alas, past is past.
edit part ii: man this became weirdly relevant to my life
if you want a real name for this song, i believe it was called "Our Lullabye", and joe wrote it for one of his previous partners
This describes my perspective VERY well of this song, using the little time you have left wanting to have a long term lasting effect that will be with them for as long as they live. Forever, the lullaby made for both of them making them for eachother

a good half a year ago i commented on the old deleted video of this song, ' one day ill sing this to my boyfriend.' that day never came because he broke up with me a few months after i posted that comment. i still love this song though
You deserve better. I hope you can find true love after this.
@@expiredpainkillers thank you :) and i hope you have a good day
I think I remember seeing that comment, I hope you do find someone to maybe sing this song to one day
I got a new boy friend you guys!! He's really sweet I'll try my best with this one. :D
@@crassinula congrats! :")
joe hawley’s voice without all the effects is so beautiful bros voice is so angelic
I love this one, even more than the final product, feels so genuine
this song actually makes me sob uncontrollably i don’t even know how to explain how i feel when i hear this song
This is the best one of the demos in my opinion, the one that was actually released doesn't compare with this masterpiece
ITS SO WELL CONSTRUCED
I disagree with the second statement, but it is a fantastic demo. I think both are masterpieces in their own right.
I like the Isle Unto Thyself Demo and 3rd Time Machine Demo more than this, but I still prefer the original over this, which is still great.
The mind electric. I rest my case
Fun Fact: Joe originally wrote this for his girlfriend at the time
why am i crying in the club rn
I’m crying on a bus
"Simply you and me were made to be
It's standard fare
But I don't care
Right now, we're now"
Beautiful.
2:47 my favorite part. I love the way one of them says "our song goes on and on!" It makes my heart flutter everytime I hear it.
i was watching that like hour long hawaii part ii analysis at 2am and i was so braindead and half asleep in my chair lol
the video started playing stranded lullaby and i felt genuinely,, upset ??almost like hopelessness or something i just felt so sad and somber
during the song i felt this. like. strong feeling of "wow hawaii part ii really is beautiful the album is so deep" and at the same time like "all good things must come to an end" and thinking about it now was so confusing like why did ONE song make me feel all these things its actually insane
im so confused but at the same time sometimes i feel like i would do anything to experience that again like feel the beauty of that song and i think hawaii part ii or maybe just stranded lullaby affected me in some way the addiction for tally hall stretches deeper than i can comprehend
and now whenever i hear stranded lullaby (or any hawaii part ii song) its all i can think of
Same
I’m finally going to meet my boyfriend Dec.18th. Back in Sept 2018 I found this song and wanted to play it for him. After 2 years of waiting he will finally hear this for the first time with me in his arms.
Edit - We had to cancel the trip, maybe next time..
EDIT - WE MET UP TODAY AND I FINALLY GOT TO PLAY THIS FOR HIM, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH IT WAS SO WORTH WAITING 3 YEARS
Edit 2024 - Hai :3 sorry for the sad update, we’re breaking up but its for the best. I deserve better
I hope you two are happy together
@@fidoandthecakes4468 thank you for the kind wishes! I can’t imagine life without him. I hope you’re doing well tho! Stay safe :D
Are you two still doing well?
updates?
@@MarissaSins ARE YOU GUYS STILL DATING??
This feels like the perfect goodbye for a roleplay story me and my best friend had. The main characters were in love, the female character belonged to me, and the male character belonged to my friend. They had a really sweet relationship. I know this is something that my best friend’s character would sing to my character, and it feels so bittersweet it’s perfect. I miss the story, and I feel bad for the characters. They deserved so much more. They deserved more time.
Such a beautiful album whenever i revisit it gives such a beautiful feeling no matter if im at the lowest point or highest i will always be picked up by this album and these demos give me a new feeling to my favorite album so thank you for posting these
Unironically one of the greatest songs ever written.
This demo is so lovely. It feels so emotion driven, it kinda makes me wanna fall in love. Joe really poured his heart out, maybe one day I could do the same thing. Either way, definitely hits differently when listening to it in the middle of the night.
it's over and over and over and over again in my head please just don't don't leave
I don't think he likes me
"Someday my voice might not be here"
My fucking goosebumps man. I just want them back together already.
One part i really love about this song is that, because you can hear every little sound that normally gets cut out of songs, it sounds like you're actually right there with Simon and his dead girlfriend
2:16 is so good
He also wrote a song about bananas
"Good night, and maybe we're sleeping after all." Hits like a fucking bus
I love this version of the song more than the original. It made me feel a way no other song has ever made me feel, especially if you're reading the lyrics while listening to the song. It invokes this feeling of longing and grief, but also comfort and true love. It sounds really mushy, but true love is the one of the only ways it can be described. Stranded Lullaby's demo nearly drove me to tears. The lyrics, combined with the melody and all, is truly, entirely beautiful. I can't stress this enough; I love this song so much. I could listen to it for hours on end. I felt genuinely moved while listening.
Some of the lyrics stab like a knife through my heart and soul and mine. "Hear me here, someday my voice may not be near." That line hurts, yet, still, I love it. Words cannot explain how much I love this song. I nearly cried listening to this song, and I haven't cried in 3 years, so that's how you know this is a truly indescribably beautiful piece of art. It's so bitter-sweet.
This song makes me think of when I had only one friend I felt I could really trust. We had a bond. Sadly, she moved away. I've not thought about her for a long, long time. But, now, reminiscing over my friendship with her, I feel a knot in my stomach and as if I'd been stabbed in the heart, and it hurt and felt good at the same time. I miss her more than ever.
Thank you so, so much for posting this here on this platform. I haven't like this ever before, and I'm glad I have.
Edit: I did it, After 3 years of emotional numbness, I did it. I cried. I heard the song, sang along, deep in the lyrics, and quietly cried myself to sleep. It felt strange. An overwhelming sense of sadness and longing, yet, I found warmth in the embrace of Joe Hawley's somber yet sweet song. We need more songs like this. Beautifully profound, albeit sappy, lyrics to beautiful acoustic guitars behind beautiful, genuine, emotional voices. Thank you so much for letting me have this experience.
i find myself coming back to this multiple times a month since first hearing it.. and i seriously think this is one of the best pieces of music i’ve ever heard. joe’s voice is just gorgeous in this. overall, one of my favorite songs and so in love with so many small parts of it. ❤️
I'm listening to this with my dog we have to put down in the next few days, it's supposed to be more of a romantic song but I think it can be applied to this type of love as well. I'll love her till she's gone, then after that forever ❤️❤️
I'm sorry. I hope you feel better.
Kinda feel like this song would take place between White Ball and Murders
I think all the songs take place chronologically
@@atotallyrandomperson3889 Agreed. Time machine is the protagonist attempting to go back to his youth with the lover he lost, and in the context of the other songs, likely in the form of a boat to travel the pacific. Stranded Lullaby is that protagonist lost at sea, the only thing keeping him going being his delirium. Dream Sweet in Sea Major is his final moments before death, believing he reunited with his lover, finally able to pass on.
@@atotallyrandomperson3889 All that is just my interpretation of the lyrics anyways.
@@dgrunklesamiii4615 That's what I thought I couldn't put it in words but could picture it like the protagonist uses a boat as he was a sailor and practiced science
this demo makes me cry every single time. it hits so much harder than the album one, even though the official makes more sense for the lore.
Nobody cares, but this song hit me like a sledgehammer because I was forced to move away across a whole state away from my girlfriend. We have been together for 5 years and we both love miracle musical, and funnily enough the non-demo of this song is her favorite song. I miss her more than anything and barely get to talk to her often because of the fact that we both have chaotic lives and different timezones, but we’ve made it work, this song reminds me of her. This is awesome, and the song is beautiful. Goodnight, and maybe we’re sleeping after all
this version makes me so much more emotional than the final one
Hawaii part II demos give off such a wildly different vibe to the finished songs, its crazy
it's been over a year and this song is the only one that never fails to make me cry
Any type of stranded lullaby will still make me sob uncontrollably in any way
Love this one the most
Same man, this song is beautiful, I listen to it every night
This is probably my favorite
Ive been dealing with a really stressful situation lately, and for some reason this song is the only thing that can comfort me- joe hawley out here saving my emotions 😭💀
joe is awesome
@@fhnpirese_animates2130real
@octangulastella maybe i will🤑
@@Jupiterr-w7w stranded lullaby left me traumatized and wondering if this was meant to be; but i might sing this to my lover, if i ever have one. or i might just sing it to my baby cousin next month; however if i do not survive uuhh uh theen nobody would have to hear a drug addicted raspy throated teenager try to comfort a baby
@@YourAvarageBeverageConsumer id wanna hear u sing :3
as somebody who wishes to experience love but never has, it pains me knowing that there are others who have lost their one true love. i have fallen once, and still adore this person, but i sadly cannot.
this song is my oxygen bro
I miss her.
i always think about my crush when i listen to this song. now i'm afraid im never going to see them again, we never spoke that much and they dont know me but i had a crush on them for 2 years now. They're leaving school this year and i dont know what i'll do without them.
If it’s meant to be your paths will cross again
now i know im late, but you should get their number ! get to know them and just talk for a bit, one day you guys might find each other again. and one day, when the time's right, make your move ! if they dont accept, dont worry, just dont lash out at them. good luck, m8 !
Eyepatch! they left school and with this situation i still havent seen them again but this summer i literally met a girl that knows them and could arrange a match, the point is that i dont want to anymore because this is not the way i wanted it to happen (there sum stuff going on for this meeting to happen). I’m still waiting though, for a better chance of our paths crossing again
@@glassmunch oh wow, well keep enduring trying to meet up if you still have feelings ! you tenaciousness will pay off in the long run. good luck anyway ! :-D
Eyepatch! i think that i have to let it go, but wont give up of finding a partner for me! i just wanted to be their friend anyways because i had no chance
It reminds me of that time when it was almost midnight, I was going back from a trip to the sea with my family, and played this song.
Fuckkkk that must have hit different
Ahhhh that must have been so cool
I may or may not be inconsolably crying
this is the first time a song has ever made me cry.
whenever i listen to this song it makes me cry really hard considering that all of my past relationships did not work out well and that ill never be able to find someone who truly loves me for just being myself purely
seeing the immense love someone can have for just a person at the point of making a song is something that feels both warming and depressing. Like, I lost most of my closest friends or they just grew out of interest of me like I was some sort of toy and seeing this feels good to hear like some sort of comfort-ish song
definitely feels more homemade and like he actually sung it while lost in the ocean. very cool
this song breaks me everytime i hear it, yet i still listen to it.
I am very glad i have found my people every one who sees this has a really great taste, i love this song so much.
It’s 4:50 am in this car, and I am crying. This was the last song I sang to my grandmama before she died, and I can never finish singing it because of how much I miss her.
So I was at school listening to this demo and no joke I almost cried. There is just something about this demo that feels so real to me. I have never really experienced romantic love before but this song,man it hits hard.
I love this voice. How sweet he was to write this song. This will be my kid's childhood lullaby. Damnit I wanna cry😭😭😭
Crying screaming throwing up.
this is one of the most beautiful songs ever made
Screaming, crying, throwing up, dying
the first time I listened to this I cried, hearing this for the millionth time still crying
it’s been years. and this song still makes me cry. thank you joe howley, you’ve comforted a lot of people :)
I love this version so much.
stranded lullaby is my favourite miracle musical song
I prefer this version. Its more quieter and its just perfect.
This song makes me mitski emotional like I was listening to it rn and I actually wanted to cry I love this song omg
this actually hit me so hard, i know the feeling the song gets u, the “and i love you, i really do” reminded me so much of someone i used to love like crazy, they sadly left me for someone else, but they were my everything
damn dude...
this feels like the events in this demo happened before the final song
Joe hawley is a fucking genius
