Still one of the best songs produced during the COVID pandemic. Remember telling my friend about Lauv’s lyrics being so relatable. We’re in different places now, saw her at my graduation, smiled and waved back. Miss you Subaiba. Those calls are still very close to my heart. ❤
I never really tell my friends my dark thoughts anymore. When I see them, I only share my happy experiences and funny encounters with other people. I only share those things that I think are worth-sharing and not those which are kinda sad and depressing because i’m super afraid that they won’t want my company anymore if i get too sad and emotional, if i show my other true self. I also don’t want to be a burden to them. So basically, i fake my happiness whenever i’m around them. But seriously, i’m very grateful to have people who I can call friends.
Share your dark moments too! Not all of them but few that you are comfortable to talk about. I swear it'll make you feel a lot better,lighter and idk what to say... Just try it once
Take off pieces of your "mask" gradually and when you're comfortable with yourself, and when you do if they stay you'll know they are a real friend. Don't waste your time with fake people I made that mistake. Don't make the mistake to think your the only one feeling like that, everyone wears a "mask" weather if its to hide the truth from themselves or others, but you should at least have that one person who you don't have to be fake around. *mask* - Metaphorical word I'm using for the person your faking to be
He may be underrated until now, but I see him rising. When I saw Lizzo do the same i just shared her stuff on my social media. I am going to do the same for him.
17 millions only on RUclips... man.. this is good popular song :/ mu japanese friends love that song and its pretty mainstream? many people know Lauv (gladly) so dont gatekeep
Man, this song is really an important marker for the progression of music- how the topics music covers is really diversifying, how people are becoming more open to talking about their personal mental well being, how unique our generations experience of depression is (surrounded by so much, with so many open opportunities, but at the same time so lonely and how individualistic we are all expected to be- not sharing our struggles, always striving to reach out "full potential", selfishly ambitious, shamelessly achievement oriented, fiercely independent and not to mention mind bogglingly "successful"). The lyrics are so simple but they speak to so many people on a personal level. This song really gives me hope, hope for the normalization of not fitting into the world's expectations of successful, happy etc.,hope that we realize vulnerability is okay, that we're all as insecure, as lonely as the other person and ultimately hope for people to realize that EVERYONE has their own struggles whether or not they're open about it. Man Lauv really deserves a big thank you from us, because he's really out there speaking about things we can't be open about, he's really out there speaking for us and speaking to us and all the others who feel they're in it alone. Love this song so much for everything it stands for ♥️.
That’s everything, you stated this message so beautifully and undeniably. I feel every single line of it.♥️ also love you Lauv and this song’s just amazing!
Lauv's recent posts on instagram stories were always about his self doubts and questions about his purpose.. I just wanted to tell Ari, this is your purpose.. To say and sing the words we can't say. To express the feelings we can't normally express. Through your music we find comfort and that means you're doing a great job on what you do. Please keep being the artist and the person that you are. You are blessed. Keep being weird, brother.. And dont forget to drink yo' watah!
This song is so apt for today's times when everyone is busy on their phones and there's no one to 'talk' to. I'm so inspired right now. As a singer-songwriter and music producer, there's so much to learn from you, Lauv! You're awesome!
This is a song that everyone needs to hear. This is what is going on in someone's, almost everyone's life. People are trying to show other side of them, they're trying to keep everything with themselves and it's super sad. We have a lot of people around with who we can talk. And that's super sad that people are feeling like that, that they're struggling with something. But everyone needs to know that YOU'RE NOT ALONE! You're alive, you can find a reason to get up, you can find a reason to fight, to live happy life, all problems will fade. You're strong, yes, you who are reading it! And don't let modern things to make your life empty, don't let them change your free, your beautiful thinking. Find a reason to be yourself and be happy, please just be happy ❤️
I love Lauv and his honesty, his recognition is definitely well deserved, however... If you're reading this and you want to be an influence one day, never stop giving and you'll receive something special in the long run. Spread love.
i used to feel bad for calling or texting my friend when i first got to know her i felt like i was not important enough to be calling her, because i would only be a burden anyway i felt like she wouldn’t want to meet up anyway, because she has other more important friends why would she hang out with me ? but how am i supposed to get close to people then instead ? then one day i just realized i gotta change, if i want to have friends i have to call and text them first as well, it can’t just be one sided, just because i feel like i’m a burden so i started to text and call her and ask wether we want to meet up and that’s i got to know my first ever best friend in life, although we are not friends anymore now through her i learned that although i might feel like i’m a burden to everyone, i’m actually not ❤️ EDIT: thank you for 1.6K likes, i didn’t expect so many people to relate to this ❤️ i hope how through this i’m feeling better but also other people who ever felt or are feeling that way feel a little bit better about themselves as well. I love you so love yourself as well, you’re not a burden, you’re precious and appreciated ❤️☁️
I'm from japan. Your lyrics make a deep impression on me. I empathize with "modern loneliness" from japan. Probably everybody is feeling all over the world. thx lauv.
"Love my friends to death but I never call them, I never text them" That struck so deep. I have recently shut myself out on social media even on text messages. My friends don't know what the hell is going on with me. Only to find out that one of my friends is going to another country the next day. I felt bad.
Damn that's sad but he could have called and told you it's not as if you blocked the person... or did you? I struggle a lot with interacting with people and I do this a lot as well as far as removing profile pics and logging off... The lonelier I feel, the more I tend to push people off
i understand, but you cant always expect them to talk first, always. there are things that they might be going thru as well, but just put on a happy face for the sake.
@@christianguerrier1887 even I feel sometimes if someone was there to call me and taken some care.. This loneliness never goes away. When I m alone I also tend to move people away. I lost my dad 2 years back. Now I feel there is no one to help my feelings. Even my friends don't care about me. In collage I wonder whether I do exist or not🙄...
“I love my friends to death, but I never call and I never text” These words hit me in my core, thank you Lauv for speaking to all of us who needed it 💛
@@ericgregory438 It happens to all of us...we get real jobs with real lives. Sadly life is a rat race unless you're really lucky to the point you can afford it, and even then, your friends most likely cant.
We all surrounded by many people, having a lot of followers or likes, yet in the end we all depressed and deny to accept the fact. I hope everybody can establish their small circle+girlfriend/boyfriend and understand it's not quantity its quality that matters.
That's why I only have one or two friends that I meet from time to time, and I spend time with my family. I had lots of friends but only two of them stood by me when I'm at my worst.
This is one of THOSE songs man. The ones that make my rough, tiring and the shittiest days where I feel the lowest, a little more better; which is all that matters.
“Love my friends to death, but I never call them I never text them” I relate to this so much... it’s something that comes with depression but no one really talks about. It makes you isolate and distance yourself from everyone you love, it makes you feel like a shitty friend/person then you end up losing everyone..
For real!! That’s something people who don’t have depression don’t understand. This depression makes me feel like no wants me so I stay out of their lives to make them happy, but that’s not true. It’s just lies your telling yourself because of the depression. You can’t really understand unless you’ve experienced it, and I wouldn’t wish depression on my worst enemy.
i mean like this generation be saying "i'm so depressed" and wonder why they are, but say stuff like "push everyone away"....? You're partly to blame. Be part of the solution
This reminds me of the time i had to leave my friends, they said "dont worry, now we have the Internet, we can always talk whenever we want" but actually, it's the belief that we can always talk whenever that we dont even bother to talk anymore. And that's how we drifted apart. "Modern loneliness, never alone but always depressed" - aint no truer stories.
Agreed, I feel that. You intend on trying to stay in touch but in reality life can get so busy that you somehow slip up in that connection. Until it dissolves unintentionally.
I don't know why but being an introvert really sucks for me. I wish I was an extrovert, instead. Whenever I try to start a conversation with my friends, it always end up being a small talk. I want to deepen my relationships and support them through problems but I just can't. Maybe I'm scared that I might say something wrong because my socializing skills are so level -9000 and I really bore them in long conversations. I suck at expressing myself, the only thing I can give them are inspirational quotes, memes and normal tips but I don't think its enough. Hell, I'm sorry if you guys didn't understand my story, I'm just not good at describing my situation.
You express the concept perfectly. I am also an introvert person. We are special, we are deeper than others. You just need to find the right persons that will acknowledge you and listen to you. And it's not easy. So if you find the right friend, even if is one, hold on onto it.
You're not alone in this world. We are special , bt we need someone who would understand us the way we understand our friends, families n try to help them. We need someone who would never get bored of us, someone who would never shut on us. #BeingAnIntrovertIsABlessing
This song... It reminds me of when a girl told me once that she never texts first, but she's lonely and wants to talk to people... But what if everyone is waiting for everyone else to text first? Nobody is going to communicate that way. So talk to people! Call them, even though most people don't do that anymore, text them first, even if it starts off awkward, it will get better! If you want to be around people, a lot of them are too afraid of awkward silences or odd beginnings to initiate it, but especially if you're a teenager, we're all lonely! We might act like we're fine but if you're thinking about someone, leave them a message saying that you were! Chances are it will make their day. If you're lonely, I totally get it. I have very few friends, cuz im homeschooled and just don't get around people that often. Just be brave and text someone! I promise to everyone who has "modern loneliness" (including myself) that it's gonna get better. I love you so incredibly much and God does too. You are blessed, you are a blessing and I pray you have a fantastic day
Being the one that always texts first, is kinda make me feel I am unwanted lately, if they care they will texts first, even it’s just once or twice,it shows that they care. Im sorry but I just know how it feels to be always the one that do the texting
Layahima you’re not the only one hun. 🥺 my crush always texted first but then when i’ve been texting my crush first, he stopped talking to me ever since.
If you're always feeling lonely, but never reach out, you can't expect someone else to swoop in and save you. Stop playing the martyr, and make the first move. You don't change your life by staring at the wall and feeling bad for yourself.
Made me send texts to friends haven’t communicated with for months to years with the link to the song! And to Ari of course to let him know how much I love him...
My image of Modern loneliness. It's like when you don't really have someone to spill your heart out to because you're scared, you end up holding so much trouble even when there are already so many people willing to hear you out.
I'm cryingggg. I have been dealing with a lot of pressure since last year and everyday I try to find motivation and drowm myself with positive thoughts, but I don't think it's working. And today I got the news that somebody I know jumped in front of a train ... I don't know why life is so hard on us, but I hope one day, I won't resonate with your songs that much. Or that I'll continue to resonate, but you will be singing light-hearted, happy, silly songs
Wow I feel so bad, I wish for the best for u in life. I hope u can find someone u trust to talk with (if ur not already). Just know ppl care, and that everything will get better. I’m sorry you had to go through so much. It’ll only make u stronger♥️hope u’ll b okay
Dude, it's fine..... Everyone faces hard times in their own way..... I dont know you and I don't want you to think that even though I don't know your problems so I can't understand it and don't have a right to give you suggestions or advice...... But I have 1 thing to say.. Life chooses you only because it knows that no one else can handle these problems and play your character better than you do. There is a higher energy that's working towards something big for you.... "Things always work out in the end, and if it hasn't, it's not the end" ~ Unknown
@@aashutosh9285 ~ Well said, my friend. We all need to understand there are tons of possibilities life holds for each of us and know we will get through everything in our way to get to something more beautiful as well as more beautiful versions of ourselves each time. The journey is difficult, but it's beautiful and necessary, so have faith. We all have our own path and things to overcome, but never should we ever give up. And I just saw that quote the other day...maybe it's a sign that I, and many others, need to know and understand that message.
Mei Chi In my opinion I don’t think that’s what that lyric means. Well for me at least it means that we just can’t build up the courage to talk to others about our problems and the “we never know how to come down,” part helps. It tells how we don’t know how to open up and be “down” for others and how we ride this fake “high” to show that we’re happy when in reality we want talk. Not to mention, the line about not calling/texting friends reinforces my opinion.
@@paulk.221 yeah that could be the point. 😊 we could have many interpretations of the lyrics. I hope people who are now going through something find the courage to talk. ^^
"modern loneliness,we're never alone but always depressed" i felt that line so much i'm part of a class with almost 50 people who i'm all with for five days a week and i live with my family of 10 and i feel like i don't have a single deep relationship.
"We're never alone but always depressed" "I love my friends to death but I never call them, I never text them" Lauv is literally saying E. V. E. R. Y. T. H. I. N. G!!!!!!
i’m in a public transpo at the moment, on my way to work.. and just, this is making me cry so hard. this hits a different spot. and i feel like i’m always transported to why I stanned Ari in the first place because of the messages he try to send out and how he does this. it’s breathtaking. i love you and your art, Ari. thank you for this
Don't you just love how, despite the toxicity, RUclips can sometimes be a great place to make things better. Like these little exchanges from people who don't know each other and because we felt similarly about the song here we are sending hugs to people who we don't know and just about everyone else who needs it after listening to this.
James Theo thanks, man. i legit cried it out and perhaps the people inside the bus thought i’m crazy. good luck with your thesis! been there and it’s truly so much pressure so i hope you get all the support that you need
I'm literally crying :(( especially the part where it says "Love my friends to death, but I never call them, I never text them". Lately, I have my problems but I always find it too hard to open it up to my friends because I always think that it's just me overreacting and being dramatic. This song really hits me. Dang can't wait for the whole album!
ayyy i feel you. recently my friends have been worried that i've been lonely and depressed all the time, but i've been okay. so now when i _do_ sometimes get lonely (as everyone occasionally does), i feel like i can't text them 'cause they'll be all over me trying to get me to talk to someone about my "depression", or just say that i should go make more friends. definitely can't wait to hear the rest of the album, and hopefully there's a couple of happier songs on it lol
I felt the sincerity and genuineness of the lyrics. I feel like Lauv has always been suffering from depression and music is his way of expressing his emotions, releasing them by sharing to the world his feelings through great melody and superb vocals. Lauv has always been the most relatable artist for me because he writes not just love songs but songs for the soul that directly hit you right in the chest. Im so proud of you, Lauv! Keep going, man! 🤙🏼❤️ In the end, everything will be okay. Trust God. Have faith. ❤️
Raman New it’s in our genes. You can’t change it. During homosapiens period, humans need community to survive. If you’re alone, you’ll get killed by wild animals. Now present time, we don’t need community to survive. You can live alone and no animals will eat you. But our genes tell us we need human interaction but other humans are busy with their lives so you get lonely and depressed.
"Modern Loneliness, we're never alone but always depressed. I love my friends to death, but I never call, I never text. Modern Loneliness, we love to get high but we don't know how to come down." We all know this hits hard. Tbh, the people nowadays tends to tolerate loneliness and make depression as a design. This new song from Lauv is really an eye opener. People have people around them, we're never alone, learn to get down and conquer your surroundings to overcome modern Loneliness in yourself. P.S. to the "YOU" who is reading this. You're not alone. We were listening to this song together. I love you. ♥️
i found out YESTERDAY that i have anxiety disorder. 'Modern Loneliness' is the first song i heard after the diagnosis and it's funny how this song is the TRANSLATION OF MY SOUL right now. i'm so gratful to heard this. it felt like a huge hug. thank you, Lauv. just THANK u
This song really hits hard. Like literally. Yes i know im still a kid because im still 11 years old right now but, i understand this song and it really represents our generation. Ive had depression since i was 9 and up until now. Don't worry, im already getting some help. If you have depression, please get some help and don't harm yourself. It's not worth it. God created us to live in this wonderful world. We all have a purpose. Everyone is loved. God loves us all equally.
I'm just glad to see how much progress this artist has made since day 1. Remembered how it was like when i was still listening to The Other, Breathe, and I Like Me Better, 3 of my old faves from him. Keep making music, we're all for it! Hope to finally see you on your next PH concert...
When music makes people start thinking, that’s already a big success. Indeed, when people start resonate with their own experiences, it’s definitely a piece of art
Remember the quote "When you're happy you enjoy the music. When you're sad you understand the lyrics."? Right know, I think I understand the lyrics better.
This song hits me right in the feels. Makes me think how we've drifted apart even though it's never been easier to be together. Anyone else?! I'm gonna make a song with Lauv one day. I know it!!
I have been listening to Lauv for 3 years now... And his music always helped me get through the bad times and enjoy the great times... Thank you for everything Lauv 🖤
"We’re never alone but always depressed And I’ve been trying to find a reason to get up Been trying to find a reason for this stuff In bedroom and my closet, the baggage in my heart is still so dark" so real and still beautiful.
@@WakeUpViolet I bet you will not be able to speak better Hindi than her... English isn't her mother tongue then why is she supposed to write that correctly?? At least she understands your language where you can barely understand anything of our language! Leave that damn girl alone. She came here to express her pain but you rando pop out of nowhere and make her feel even worse! We are Indian and therefore we are not supposed to be right in this language. I pray you live and let live 🙏
@@WakeUpViolet ok then... so you know Hindi? Well then...apna kaam kar mere mu na lag, aata na jaata Bharat maata! Hahaha what else can you do apart from changing topics?
@@WakeUpViolet I never said that you told something about India, I am just trying to say that it's ok if she's not correct in her second language. I am glad to hear that btw that you love India. But you better not say that u love a country more than the person who was born in it!

@__yoonki that's gonna be fine, it takes time sometimes, just wait. Right people will always find a way to you. Or you will.
Omfg why is every single word from this song relatable????!!
Man, this song is really an important marker for the progression of music- how the topics music covers is really diversifying, how people are becoming more open to talking about their personal mental well being, how unique our generations experience of depression is (surrounded by so much, with so many open opportunities, but at the same time so lonely and how individualistic we are all expected to be- not sharing our struggles, always striving to reach out "full potential", selfishly ambitious, shamelessly achievement oriented, fiercely independent and not to mention mind bogglingly "successful"). The lyrics are so simple but they speak to so many people on a personal level. This song really gives me hope, hope for the normalization of not fitting into the world's expectations of successful, happy etc.,hope that we realize vulnerability is okay, that we're all as insecure, as lonely as the other person and ultimately hope for people to realize that EVERYONE has their own struggles whether or not they're open about it. Man Lauv really deserves a big thank you from us, because he's really out there speaking about things we can't be open about, he's really out there speaking for us and speaking to us and all the others who feel they're in it alone. Love this song so much for everything it stands for ♥️.

this part is tragically true
Btw, that profile picture is cursed af.
Yeah and that's what we call fact.
I teared a little listening to this
relatable but doesnt hit hard lol
This song is so apt for today's times when everyone is busy on their phones and there's no one to 'talk' to. I'm so inspired right now. As a singer-songwriter and music producer, there's so much to learn from you, Lauv! You're awesome!
Yeah..so true💙💙
Great lyris
That's not really what the song is a about, but you're not wrong with that fact.
Nice
We're still dreaming.........🤍💙
This is a song that everyone needs to hear. This is what is going on in someone's, almost everyone's life. People are trying to show other side of them, they're trying to keep everything with themselves and it's super sad. We have a lot of people around with who we can talk. And that's super sad that people are feeling like that, that they're struggling with something. But everyone needs to know that YOU'RE NOT ALONE! You're alive, you can find a reason to get up, you can find a reason to fight, to live happy life, all problems will fade. You're strong, yes, you who are reading it!

"I've been thinking about my Father lately" His Dad is our chem teacher! I started listening to Lauv because of him and I'm so glad I did😊
That's so cool!!
My science teacher is a tik toker
Harmeen Kang my college professor is a tik toker too
Love being your Chem teacher GN! Missing you all this week!
OMG you just got a reply from LAUV's dad!!!!!!!!!! so lucky!!!!
Or since I’m in North Carolina, I should have said all y’all!
I lost you 3 years ago dad, it hurts as much now as it did then.
Thanks Dad for making me the man I am today
I love Lauv and his honesty, his recognition is definitely well deserved, however... If you're reading this and you want to be an influence one day, never stop giving and you'll receive something special in the long run. Spread love.
Thank you 💓
i used to feel bad for calling or texting my friend when i first got to know her
i felt like i was not important enough to be calling her, because i would only be a burden anyway
i felt like she wouldn’t want to meet up anyway, because she has other more important friends
why would she hang out with me ?
but how am i supposed to get close to people then instead ?
then one day i just realized i gotta change, if i want to have friends i have to call and text them first as well, it can’t just be one sided, just because i feel like i’m a burden
so i started to text and call her and ask wether we want to meet up
and that’s i got to know my first ever best friend in life, although we are not friends anymore now
through her i learned that although i might feel like i’m a burden to everyone, i’m actually not ❤️
EDIT: thank you for 1.6K likes, i didn’t expect so many people to relate to this ❤️ i hope how through this i’m feeling better but also other people who ever felt or are feeling that way feel a little bit better about themselves as well. I love you so love yourself as well, you’re not a burden, you’re precious and appreciated ❤️☁️
Yes me too. I always feel like that whenever I want to text or call my friend 😢
Modern Loneliness by Lauv [swa lee Remix]
ruclips.net/video/S6V3kXv0XBw/видео.html
I can super relate. I always think to myself that I consider her my best friend but I don't know if I'm hers. 😥
I still struggle about this things. Thanks for sharing (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

Stuck at home alone from Self Quarantine, Listening to this song while it's raining outside, damn this feeling is so depressing...

To introverts it's nothing.
Stay safe

"Love my friends to death but I never call them, I never text them"
That struck so deep. I have recently shut myself out on social media even on text messages. My friends don't know what the hell is going on with me. Only to find out that one of my friends is going to another country the next day. I felt bad.
Hai exo-l
Damn that's sad but he could have called and told you it's not as if you blocked the person... or did you?
I struggle a lot with interacting with people and I do this a lot as well as far as removing profile pics and logging off... The lonelier I feel, the more I tend to push people off
i understand, but you cant always expect them to talk first, always. there are things that they might be going thru as well, but just put on a happy face for the sake.
theEXOaudio same damn
@@christianguerrier1887 even I feel sometimes if someone was there to call me and taken some care.. This loneliness never goes away. When I m alone I also tend to move people away.
I lost my dad 2 years back. Now I feel there is no one to help my feelings.
Even my friends don't care about me. In collage I wonder whether I do exist or not🙄...
“I love my friends to death, but I never call and I never text”
These words hit me in my core, thank you Lauv for speaking to all of us who needed it 💛

This is me. And I honestly never knew why I did it.
It happened to me too...
I think its time for us to appreciate what we have. Dont know what will happen tomorrow or day after.

I get scared sometimes when people love this music but still not a good person. Hopefully someone feels the same way :/
I think he can read my mind
LennieLosino lol meee
I agree with you so much. These lyrics are so accurate and I resonate with them so much
Lauv is so TRUE, and that’s why we truly fell in love and sense every single song of his songs 💕
We all surrounded by many people, having a lot of followers or likes, yet in the end we all depressed and deny to accept the fact. I hope everybody can establish their small circle+girlfriend/boyfriend and understand it's not quantity its quality that matters.
Mehmetcan Karakoyun well said
That's why I only have one or two friends that I meet from time to time, and I spend time with my family. I had lots of friends but only two of them stood by me when I'm at my worst.
This song should be the anthem of our generation.
amen brother

@Nóra Jánosi it’s my first time every hearing this song

Innit omggg
Yea all his songs are so good 💙
i'm doing that right now lmaooo
Same 💖
This is one of THOSE songs man. The ones that make my rough, tiring and the shittiest days where I feel the lowest, a little more better; which is all that matters.
“Love my friends to death, but I never call them I never text them” I relate to this so much... it’s something that comes with depression but no one really talks about. It makes you isolate and distance yourself from everyone you love, it makes you feel like a shitty friend/person then you end up losing everyone..
lol this generation throwing around the word depression like it's nothing
you wont lose the true ones tho, they will seek you out because they wanna know why you're distancing yourself. Someone does care
For real!! That’s something people who don’t have depression don’t understand. This depression makes me feel like no wants me so I stay out of their lives to make them happy, but that’s not true. It’s just lies your telling yourself because of the depression. You can’t really understand unless you’ve experienced it, and I wouldn’t wish depression on my worst enemy.
@@nixweldon1618 agreed lol
i mean like this generation be saying "i'm so depressed" and wonder why they are, but say stuff like "push everyone away"....? You're partly to blame. Be part of the solution
This reminds me of the time i had to leave my friends, they said "dont worry, now we have the Internet, we can always talk whenever we want" but actually, it's the belief that we can always talk whenever that we dont even bother to talk anymore. And that's how we drifted apart. "Modern loneliness, never alone but always depressed" - aint no truer stories.
Wow so true
Sooo true 😔 😔
Agreed, I feel that. You intend on trying to stay in touch but in reality life can get so busy that you somehow slip up in that connection. Until it dissolves unintentionally.
Damn this hit differently.
He's "been trying to find a reason to get up"
so he literally sang the whole song lying down :)
😥
Such a perfect oxymoron post.😉
:0 wow
1000th like
Love how Lauv create songs that speak so much about our current state of mind. This is a gem.
I don't know why but being an introvert really sucks for me. I wish I was an extrovert, instead. Whenever I try to start a conversation with my friends, it always end up being a small talk. I want to deepen my relationships and support them through problems but I just can't.
Maybe I'm scared that I might say something wrong because my socializing skills are so level -9000 and I really bore them in long conversations.
I suck at expressing myself, the only thing I can give them are inspirational quotes, memes and normal tips but I don't think its enough. Hell, I'm sorry if you guys didn't understand my story, I'm just not good at describing my situation.
You express the concept perfectly. I am also an introvert person. We are special, we are deeper than others. You just need to find the right persons that will acknowledge you and listen to you. And it's not easy. So if you find the right friend, even if is one, hold on onto it.
And hold on yourself. Believe in yourself, love yourself more ❤️
@@LennieLosino Thank you so much ❤
you're not alone dude
You're not alone in this world. We are special , bt we need someone who would understand us the way we understand our friends, families n try to help them. We need someone who would never get bored of us, someone who would never shut on us.
#BeingAnIntrovertIsABlessing
This song... It reminds me of when a girl told me once that she never texts first, but she's lonely and wants to talk to people... But what if everyone is waiting for everyone else to text first? Nobody is going to communicate that way. So talk to people! Call them, even though most people don't do that anymore, text them first, even if it starts off awkward, it will get better! If you want to be around people, a lot of them are too afraid of awkward silences or odd beginnings to initiate it, but especially if you're a teenager, we're all lonely! We might act like we're fine but if you're thinking about someone, leave them a message saying that you were! Chances are it will make their day. If you're lonely, I totally get it. I have very few friends, cuz im homeschooled and just don't get around people that often. Just be brave and text someone! I promise to everyone who has "modern loneliness" (including myself) that it's gonna get better. I love you so incredibly much and God does too. You are blessed, you are a blessing and I pray you have a fantastic day
It feels like you are writing for me😭 thank you
Being the one that always texts first, is kinda make me feel I am unwanted lately, if they care they will texts first, even it’s just once or twice,it shows that they care. Im sorry but I just know how it feels to be always the one that do the texting
Layahima you’re not the only one hun. 🥺 my crush always texted first but then when i’ve been texting my crush first, he stopped talking to me ever since.
If you're always feeling lonely, but never reach out, you can't expect someone else to swoop in and save you. Stop playing the martyr, and make the first move. You don't change your life by staring at the wall and feeling bad for yourself.
I'm exactly like that but the problem is I get tired of people easily
Lauv's audios are better than so many artists MVs
Sirf audio like whatever but lauv is lauv ❤❤❤
This record got me through a really bad time and I still come back from time to time to feel something whenever I can't feel anything.

Sadly, I don't have a core. I'm a very hollow person. :(
Made me send texts to friends haven’t communicated with for months to years with the link to the song! And to Ari of course to let him know how much I love him...
Yeah they SLAP... in every possible way
My image of Modern loneliness. It's like when you don't really have someone to spill your heart out to because you're scared, you end up holding so much trouble even when there are already so many people willing to hear you out.

Dude, it's fine..... Everyone faces hard times in their own way..... I dont know you and I don't want you to think that even though I don't know your problems so I can't understand it and don't have a right to give you suggestions or advice...... But I have 1 thing to say..
Life chooses you only because it knows that no one else can handle these problems and play your character better than you do. There is a higher energy that's working towards something big for you....

@@aashutosh9285 ~ Well said, my friend. We all need to understand there are tons of possibilities life holds for each of us and know we will get through everything in our way to get to something more beautiful as well as more beautiful versions of ourselves each time. The journey is difficult, but it's beautiful and necessary, so have faith. We all have our own path and things to overcome, but never should we ever give up. And I just saw that quote the other day...maybe it's a sign that I, and many others, need to know and understand that message.
"Modern loneliness, we're never alone but always depressed yeah"
That line hits me...
so much ...
"We're never alone but always depressed."
Yes. We end up keeping it all to our self because its so hard to find people who understand. :(

@Xcalibur Gaming thank you. yeah, we all are not alone. but sometimes we feel like we're alone even tho we're surrounded by many people. ^^
Mei Chi In my opinion I don’t think that’s what that lyric means. Well for me at least it means that we just can’t build up the courage to talk to others about our problems and the “we never know how to come down,” part helps. It tells how we don’t know how to open up and be “down” for others and how we ride this fake “high” to show that we’re happy when in reality we want talk. Not to mention, the line about not calling/texting friends reinforces my opinion.
@@paulk.221 yeah that could be the point. 😊 we could have many interpretations of the lyrics. I hope people who are now going through something find the courage to talk. ^^

When Lauv sang: " We're never alone but always depressed" It reminds me of myself in school who cant connect with other people.
"modern loneliness,we're never alone but always depressed"
i felt that line so much i'm part of a class with almost 50 people who i'm all with for five days a week and i live with my family of 10 and i feel like i don't have a single deep relationship.
Feel you.
this comment hurt me a bit, considering i'm trying hard to connect to a certain someone feeling this way too.
like, can you hear me? i'm here.
@@Geheimnis-c2e same way
Exactly how i feel. But i think that kind of connection is rare for everyone, im sure you will find yours someday, maybe just not now
kc me too :(
I sing this song as a way I share my talk with a lover. The loneliness can express sympathy to her and it leads to our caring, sharing and loving
"We're never alone but always depressed"
"I love my friends to death but I never call them, I never text them"
Lauv is literally saying E. V. E. R. Y. T. H. I. N. G!!!!!!
Ikr 😭❤👌🏽
IKR. he's just the best in producing music.
i agree! 😔🥺😭
i’m in a public transpo at the moment, on my way to work.. and just, this is making me cry so hard. this hits a different spot. and i feel like i’m always transported to why I stanned Ari in the first place because of the messages he try to send out and how he does this. it’s breathtaking. i love you and your art, Ari. thank you for this
cry it out. im doing my thesis now and im listening to this and i'm about to tear up. hugs.
Same. On a train ride to work, then saw this pop up. Damnnnn made my eyes sweat so hard. Sending virtual hugs to everyone xx
Don't you just love how, despite the toxicity, RUclips can sometimes be a great place to make things better. Like these little exchanges from people who don't know each other and because we felt similarly about the song here we are sending hugs to people who we don't know and just about everyone else who needs it after listening to this.
@@tywinlannister2208 I'll agree. Internet is indeed a toxic place. But it still manages to give us the comfort.
James Theo thanks, man. i legit cried it out and perhaps the people inside the bus thought i’m crazy. good luck with your thesis! been there and it’s truly so much pressure so i hope you get all the support that you need
I'm literally crying :(( especially the part where it says "Love my friends to death, but I never call them, I never text them". Lately, I have my problems but I always find it too hard to open it up to my friends because I always think that it's just me overreacting and being dramatic. This song really hits me. Dang can't wait for the whole album!
Carl Salanguit same I understand cause I’m in that situation too
so relatable omg
ayyy i feel you. recently my friends have been worried that i've been lonely and depressed all the time, but i've been okay. so now when i _do_ sometimes get lonely (as everyone occasionally does), i feel like i can't text them 'cause they'll be all over me trying to get me to talk to someone about my "depression", or just say that i should go make more friends. definitely can't wait to hear the rest of the album, and hopefully there's a couple of happier songs on it lol
Me too
I think I got up. Thank you Lauv, for being with me all along.
I felt the sincerity and genuineness of the lyrics. I feel like Lauv has always been suffering from depression and music is his way of expressing his emotions, releasing them by sharing to the world his feelings through great melody and superb vocals. Lauv has always been the most relatable artist for me because he writes not just love songs but songs for the soul that directly hit you right in the chest. Im so proud of you, Lauv! Keep going, man! 🤙🏼❤️ In the end, everything will be okay. Trust God. Have faith. ❤️
He was!
THAT'S IT, he is just amazing
Mathews Varughese i can feel that he is still going through it but i know he will get through it ❤️
I'm glad I live in a world where Lauv's music exists.
*"Modern Loneliness"* We're Never Alone, *but Always Depressed"*
That's me everyday
Yeah that's true. Don't know what the reason exactly
Raman New it’s in our genes. You can’t change it. During homosapiens period, humans need community to survive. If you’re alone, you’ll get killed by wild animals. Now present time, we don’t need community to survive. You can live alone and no animals will eat you. But our genes tell us we need human interaction but other humans are busy with their lives so you get lonely and depressed.
abel thomas what a nice compliment. Thank you.
Being an introvert could relate with this. Lost touch with many of friends because of this.
Lauv: Modern loneliness we're never alone but always depressed.
My mom: It's because of that damn phone!!
Haha relatable
She's right you know.
True
Well that’s somehow true. Life is a paradox
This made me laugh. I don't know...
I hope he will be nominated and win Best New Artist at Grammy next year. I can relate to all of his lyrics. What a talented man
"Modern Loneliness, we're never alone but always depressed. I love my friends to death, but I never call, I never text. Modern Loneliness, we love to get high but we don't know how to come down."
We all know this hits hard.
Tbh, the people nowadays tends to tolerate loneliness and make depression as a design.
This new song from Lauv is really an eye opener. People have people around them, we're never alone, learn to get down and conquer your surroundings to overcome modern Loneliness in yourself.
P.S. to the "YOU" who is reading this. You're not alone. We were listening to this song together. I love you. ♥️

This song really hits hard. Like literally. Yes i know im still a kid because im still 11 years old right now but, i understand this song and it really represents our generation. Ive had depression since i was 9 and up until now. Don't worry, im already getting some help. If you have depression, please get some help and don't harm yourself. It's not worth it. God created us to live in this wonderful world. We all have a purpose. Everyone is loved. God loves us all equally.
I'm just glad to see how much progress this artist has made since day 1.
Remembered how it was like when i was still listening to The Other, Breathe, and I Like Me Better, 3 of my old faves from him.
Keep making music, we're all for it!
Hope to finally see you on your next PH concert...
👌
Finally, something honest. We need more of this in a generation that celebrates outer happiness and inner hollowness.
When music makes people start thinking, that’s already a big success. Indeed, when people start resonate with their own experiences, it’s definitely a piece of art

Remember the quote "When you're happy you enjoy the music. When you're sad you understand the lyrics."? Right know, I think I understand the lyrics better.
This song hits me right in the feels. Makes me think how we've drifted apart even though it's never been easier to be together. Anyone else?!
I'm gonna make a song with Lauv one day. I know it!!

Damn he did indeed.
Do you ever hear a song that hits so close to home it feels like the artist looked inside your brain before writing the lyrics? Damn Lauv.
Just by hearing the first line "I'm been thinking about my father lately". I really miss my dad, I hope he's doing well in heaven.
