easy just play them all at once. really i wouldnt be surprised if you played them all at the same time and it made a new secret song, because they plan these things.
@@ConnorTheCloutgod you can listen how ever you want ! if you type Neotheater into youtube, the full album should pop up and you can listen to it in order :)
My mom was a talented animator and artist, but with mental health issues holding her back. She died four months ago, I struggled to make or create anything since. The start of this song sounds like the encouragement she'd always give me and reminded me to make things so darn big and expressing, that the world won't forget. This song helps me remember that she was proud of me.
I'm sorry that your mom had to bare through that, and I'm sorry for you and your family. But she has left you behind and entrusted you to make something amazing in this world. I believe your mother put that trust into the right hands. May you do amazing things my friend
I love this album so much, it feels like every song actually has a meaning to it, Next up forever: about not wanting to grow up because you miss your childhood Birthday Party: how kids think everything is gonna be ok when our country sucks 100 bad days: about how even the worst days can make you interesting Don’t throw out my legos: about how they don’t want to get rid of those memories they have Break my face: there is always good in the worst things Turning out pt ii: Maybe you don’t actually love the person you like The entertainments here: you just got to be patient because sometimes the world may seem pointless Karma: about how you can’t rely in things to make you happy, you have to do it yourself Beats: About how is it the right decision to sell out and make money Wow, I’m not crazy: even if you feel insane there is always someone there for you Dear Winter: obviously, about Ryan’s son Finale: about not wanting people to forget you when you die or retire from whatever you are doing These are just what I think, if you feel a different way about the songs tell me what you think.
I find the cover of this album so symbolic. Like in Living Room, they were sitting, just doing nothing. In The Click, they were walking on a path of piano keys, exploring. Neotheater, which may be their last album, they're sitting on (something that might be) the end of the path of piano keys, relaxing, and making their best music.
2:57 "This is my imagination. This is how it looks and sounds. I gotta go so much bigger, so they can never shut me down.... Welcome to the Neotheater! Won't everybody take their seats." I absolutely love these lines!
and my children will be saying 'ugh this music is so old' while listening to some sh*tty mainstream pop music (not saying that ALL mainstream music is bad)
As someone with social anxiety doing anything in front of a crowd (ex. presentations) scares me, so "I'm kinda scared to drop this album, let's push it back another week; I wanna be next up forever" actually kinda connects with me
It is a feeling I think almost everyone can relate to. I felt this immensely having to do a speech and step up on the stage for graduation, really wishing this could be pushed back and let my class be next up forever on the graduation line for high school. It is absolutely anxiety inducing and I feel you 1000% fam
That is an interesting take away, but I like to think that this song is about being afraid of growing up. People want to be young forever because they are afraid of changing and stepping into a world they are unfamiliar with
All of the songs AJR makes are awesome, but this truly is a masterpiece. The beginning sounding like a choir, and going into the sickest beat I’ve ever heard. Not to mention the words, and the meaning of the song, it’s perfect, and is super relatable to all ages
I feel like this is a “serialised” album, one that tells an story that is only complete with all the songs, that’s why this, & the maybe man don’t get an overture, that’s reserved for “episodic” albums.
@@TerabyteOcto Yeah like I know the whole point of critics is to well criticize music but most of their points can be easily deflected and either don't make much sense or has little research put behind them also comparing ajr to 21 pilots is unfair

This band is really, really good at calming me down. Thank you AJR, I used to mainly use the Beatles to calm down to, but somehow you guys are better at calming me down than the Beatles Let the sink in
If y’all have yet to see them, this has to be the most beautiful incredible opening to any show ever. All i could do was scream and sing. If you’ve never felt joy before for some reason, you definitely will when you see these guys in concert.
This album is a staple, seriously. Now whenever I hear that voice, I think of it being the “Neotheater voice”. Also, they really pulled out all the stops here. It’s beautiful AND it has a beat drop. That is an AJR thing.
I can't even put to words how much this album has helped me through the worst moments of my life. Everytime i feel like shit i come back to it and it's the biggest comfort ever. Thank you AJR I wouldn't be here without you. 💛
After I finished listening this entire album, no joke I was wanting to cry tears of joy right in the middle of class. This album is too good for us. Also, so this is where the singers from the original Lorax cartoon were for all these years. Huh.
Man I was about to cry tears of sadness in the middle of class. This album literally dug up years and years of suppressed sadness, fear, bad memories, and dread right as I was listening to it. I feel like I don’t matter, like nobody matters, and like anything I do won’t make any significant impact on the universe, so why bother at all. But yeah, 10/10, solid album :D
Thank you AJR. I'm graduating this year and even though I know I'm gonna do just fine, I don't feel ready, so this really hit me right in the feelers. Great song. 🔥
as a person who comes from a lot of mental scars, the end of this songs genuinely sounds like my parents trying to encourage me to keep going "your eyes are open, so never close them" they always said that I knew more that other about pain, my eyes were opened if you may say, but I don't think I'm ready yet, I feel so scared, the worlds scares me a lot, but still I get up again, just wanted to let out this, this was a masterpiece, and the ocean will get me where I should be, for anyone struggling, have a great day and I hope just the best for all of you
3:05 hit me 😢 103 days till I graduate. God knows what's next, we're all just along for the ride. Man, I'll read this comment some day and want to go back so bad, but to my future self, don't sweat it. Yeah, life's good, but keep your head up and be happy you were here ☺️☝️
Omg 2:10 is literally me. So much of my personality is linked to me being the smart shy kid at school so the thought of no longer having any of that any more is terrifying to me
I have a brother, his name is Gavin. Gavin doesn’t go to get-together’s, isn’t very outgoing, and is generally disliked by my whole family. However, I see him in a completely different light. Gavin is a very kind, thoughtful, and intelligent person despite his oddities. He’s taught me a lot. Way more than even my dad or mom could dream of. And he’s simply pushed down by circumstance. He loves AJR. And roughly four years ago, he showed me this song for the first time. I vividly remember it. And it is one of my “core memories” Every time I listen to this song I think of Gavin. And all the positive things I’ve learned from him.
"I'm kinda scared of graduation because who am I when this is done...?" That lyric just him as someone who recently graduated. It was tough, I hated the experience, was sometimes grateful for it, but needless to say, it was a major part of my life. I needed this song right now, waking up around 10 PM in the evening, staring through my open window
This is like the only channel that whenever it comes out with a new song no mater where I’m at even if it’s at school I always listen to it no matter what even with out headphones
I just heard this song for the first time today and by the end of it I was bawling like a friggin baby. For the longest time I’ve been so depressed but when people asked me what was wrong I always found it so difficult to put my feelings into words and I feel that this song describes my thoughts perfectly. Thanks AJR I wished I had heard this song much sooner..
I literally cannot express how amazing this new album is! You can tell the passion and love that went into it you guys are absolutely amazing in my favorite band of all time! Keep making music I love you guys!
"And if you’re broken You’ll make your own thing You’ll make it so big For all the world to see" Is SUCH a good description of how society wants disabled people to act- they want us to become an inspiration, so they can look at us like "Wow, if that person can go so far despite all their struggles, why couldn't I?" Which sucks because THEY ARE THE REASON WE'RE STRUGGLING IN THE FIRST PLACE, and instead of altering the world to make it more accessible, they're just pretending to cheer us on, only sit back and feel good about themselves for being a "good person" and "doing the right thing". We are NOT an inspiration for you, we are not performers putting on a show for you, and if we're too "broken" to sail on your ocean- instead of watching us struggle trying to build our own world, maybe fix your own.
my favourite uncle died few years ago on my 10th birthday which broke me, and from then everything started going down hill, the bullying from everyone in my class went worse which made me give up on almost everything, and now hearing this song it gave me inspiration and will to continue on everything i ever wanted, now i am pushing and testing my limits and i don't think il ever stop
This song really is it… I feel like I’m just at the beginning of my film career. I’m in the process of directing my second short, and the inspiration and energy this song brings, I feel like this is just the beginning for me. An excellent cast, crew, people viewing my work. It’s time to reach a bit higher in my city where I live. I am beyond excited for the dream that I am riding with. I don’t think I’m chasing my cinema dream. I’m fully living with it and enjoying riding every wave I got. Let’s go, next up forever..
Perfect timing guys, this released right after a nasty rejection from a girl that loved me back. It happened back when the album released, but I wanted to say thank you now for the music that helped me keep my head high and forget all about her, but have to admit, still kind of stings when I come back to it.
How does such a masterpiece not be so popular? It’s been how long- like 4 years of listening to this song/ album, and it’s not super popular? People don’t get absolute beauty of music. With all the instruments, vocals, and well the fact it’s ajr! This whole album is a masterpiece.
FR! So many lines I relate to as an ND/disabled person: "This is my imagination, this is how it looks and sounds", and "I know I gotta grow up sometime, but I don't think I'm ready yet".. not to mention the whole first verse is such a good metaphor for how society wants disabled people to act: "And if you’re broken / You’ll make your own thing / You’ll make it so big / For all the world to see" (sorry for the random rant btw 😅)
"And if you're broken you'll make your own thing" i can't w that line, it makes me cry. Actually on second thought almost all of neotheater perfectly captures my emotions at this point in my life. Thank you- I love it. Also, during finale jack says "I hope I made you smile, its all I ever wanted" well buddy, mission accomplished a thousand times over. AJR is my favorite band and that's coming from a kid who almost never listens to music from anywhere near this decade. You killed it and I will never let go of the emotional roller coaster this album puts me through. So, one more time: Love you guys and thank you for all your music
This is probably the best opening to any album ever. Like how do you even come up with this? And the beat AHHH don’t get me started! It makes me feel something I can’t even explain all I can imagine is just my life goals and a musical type setting, oh my gosh I can’t even explain I love this album way to much! ♫❤︎
This album really touches me. The fact that it all relates to probably every person in the world, it's just so warm. Adam, Jack, Ryan, We will miss you, now that you're gone. But one thing we will realize: your wonderful music and talents will be remembered and cherished for all to radiate joy from. -Sincerely, a depressed girl who was one about to give up, is now striving to be better and is progressing. < 3
"'Cause I don't know what's coming next I know I gotta grow up sometime But I don't think I'm ready yet I know I gotta grow up sometime But I'm not fucking ready yet" this... this part broke me. the whole song is painfully relatable, but this... I'm on the Autism Spectrum, and my mom died a month before my 18th birthday. she alone raised me since dad never wanted me. she'd spent the last two years of her life battling brain cancer, so she couldn’t teach me how to be an adult. now I'm living with my adoptive sister, who's helping me fully transition into adulthood. Thank you AJR, for getting me through this time when nothing else could. Love you guys 💛
For me it sound a lot like scenes from a Italian restaurant the change of tempo change of sound is more like it well just for me I guess,ps give the song a try it’s not that bad.
"I know I gotta grow up some time
But I’m not fucking ready yet"
God, this is exactly how I feel right now
Thats my favorite line, they should have had a drop right there imo
I think every teen thinks about this
As a senior in high school about to graduate and go to college I’ve never related to something more in my life...
Couldn't have said it better myself dude

well... it's been a year. How have u been doing?
You fucking disappointment
I love this album so much, it feels like every song actually has a meaning to it,
Next up forever: about not wanting to grow up because you miss your childhood
Birthday Party: how kids think everything is gonna be ok when our country sucks
100 bad days: about how even the worst days can make you interesting
Don’t throw out my legos: about how they don’t want to get rid of those memories they have
Break my face: there is always good in the worst things
Turning out pt ii: Maybe you don’t actually love the person you like
The entertainments here: you just got to be patient because sometimes the world may seem pointless
Karma: about how you can’t rely in things to make you happy, you have to do it yourself
Beats: About how is it the right decision to sell out and make money
Wow, I’m not crazy: even if you feel insane there is always someone there for you
Dear Winter: obviously, about Ryan’s son
Finale: about not wanting people to forget you when you die or retire from whatever you are doing
These are just what I think, if you feel a different way about the songs tell me what you think.
Well said
I think Winter is female...
Mr. Russet Potato Sorry I’m so late, I haven’t checked this comment in a while. But Ryan explained its about his son in a couple interviews.

[Intro]
Your eyes are open, so never close them
You’ll sail the ocean, finding where you should be
And if you’re broken, you’ll make your own thing
You’ll make it so big for all the world to see
You’ll make it so damn big for all the world to see
[Verse 1: Jack Met]
I’m kinda scared to drop this album
Let’s push it back another week
I wanna be next up forever
Find a way to never hit my peak
I kinda wish I was still a virgin
"Time to finally see what sex is like!"
I wanna be next up forever
Forever, I’ll be second in line
[Chorus: Jack Met]
Some day, they’ll be talking about me
Right now, they’re just walking around me
My god, are you growing without me?
Somebody help me (Somebody help me)
Some day, they’ll be talking about me
Right now, they’re just walking around me
My god, are you growing without me?
Somebody help me (Somebody help me)
[Verse 2: Jack Met]
This is my imagination
This is how it looks and sounds
But I gotta go so much bigger
So they can never shut me down
I’m kinda scared of graduation
'Cause who am I when this is done?
I wanna be next up forever
So the best is always yet to come
[Chorus: Jack Met]
Some day, they’ll be talking about me
Right now, they’re just walking around me
My god, are you growing without me?
Somebody help me (Somebody help me)
Some day, they’ll be talking about me
Right now, they’re just walking around me
My god, are you growing without me?
Somebody help me (Somebody help me)
[Bridge: Jack Met]
I gotta go so much bigger
So everybody’s proud of me
Welcome to the Neotheater
Won't everybody take their seats?
And I'll be next up forever
'Cause I don’t know what’s coming next
I know I gotta grow up sometime
But I don't think I'm ready yet
[Outro: Jack Met]
I know I gotta grow up sometime
But I’m not fucking ready yet
Your eyes are open, so never close them
You’ll sail the ocean, finding where you should be

You’ll make it so damn big for all the world to see

If y’all have yet to see them, this has to be the most beautiful incredible opening to any show ever. All i could do was scream and sing. If you’ve never felt joy before for some reason, you definitely will when you see these guys in concert.
I was going to but covid canceled the tour :(
June... already crying
This album is a staple, seriously. Now whenever I hear that voice, I think of it being the “Neotheater voice”. Also, they really pulled out all the stops here. It’s beautiful AND it has a beat drop. That is an AJR thing.
I can't even put to words how much this album has helped me through the worst moments of my life. Everytime i feel like shit i come back to it and it's the biggest comfort ever. Thank you AJR I wouldn't be here without you. 💛
After I finished listening this entire album, no joke I was wanting to cry tears of joy right in the middle of class. This album is too good for us.
Also, so this is where the singers from the original Lorax cartoon were for all these years. Huh.
Wait really abt the Lorax?
@@charsplat1212 No but the beginning style from the "Your eyes are open...youll make it so big for all the world to see." Is the same concept. :]
Man I was about to cry tears of sadness in the middle of class. This album literally dug up years and years of suppressed sadness, fear, bad memories, and dread right as I was listening to it. I feel like I don’t matter, like nobody matters, and like anything I do won’t make any significant impact on the universe, so why bother at all.
But yeah, 10/10, solid album :D
Thank you AJR. I'm graduating this year and even though I know I'm gonna do just fine, I don't feel ready, so this really hit me right in the feelers. Great song. 🔥
Where are the feelers again?
hope you see this and have had a good 4 years!! keep living your best life
Did you graduate then?
2:51 My absolute favorite part of this song.
It's crazy! I think this might be one of AJR's BEST albums yet! The fact that they released, like what.... 9 songs today! YES!
Bella Sundaram the first one was great
Bella Sundaram what are you saying all their albums are awesome and 🔥🔥🔥
I've been listening to AJR for years and I've just now given this song a chance it's way better than I first thought
SAME
as a person who comes from a lot of mental scars, the end of this songs genuinely sounds like my parents trying to encourage me to keep going "your eyes are open, so never close them" they always said that I knew more that other about pain, my eyes were opened if you may say, but I don't think I'm ready yet, I feel so scared, the worlds scares me a lot, but still I get up again, just wanted to let out this, this was a masterpiece, and the ocean will get me where I should be, for anyone struggling, have a great day and I hope just the best for all of you
3:05 hit me 😢 103 days till I graduate. God knows what's next, we're all just along for the ride. Man, I'll read this comment some day and want to go back so bad, but to my future self, don't sweat it. Yeah, life's good, but keep your head up and be happy you were here ☺️☝️
Congrats man!
Would you mind updating us?
It’s a year later how is it
@@gabrielbernal490 I'm doing great in college, and all is well. Thanks for checking in!
@@bruhifysson9005 Doing awesome, settled into college no problem, life is good.
Remember when AJR was our little secret ?
Your profile pic makes this comment 50× better
Cant possibly keep this talent hidden for too long
If you ask a group of people they still don't know who they are (At the people I'm near)
I love the way they captured the emotions of being an adult, wanting to be a kid, but not knowing how to face your fears
The Maybe Man will truly be Next Up Forever
So true man, so true.
I think it's good. Don't hear it yet but it's good
Charles Leclerc is ur name actually charles leclerc or is this a fan account of the driver?
@@ishmamchowdhury45 I'm a fan of the driver
The Warrior cats map that was made with this song goes so well with it.
AJR will always be fire. No doubts.
Omg 2:10 is literally me. So much of my personality is linked to me being the smart shy kid at school so the thought of no longer having any of that any more is terrifying to me
Same
Ajr really pulled it off with different remix and sounds. Nice, time to compare and think which the best neotheatre song.
Fralite, i think the best are Legos and next up forever
All of them.
My favorite is Finale
Endgames and now this, is it my birthday?
XxxxdabmasterxxxX There are two types of people:
1. Can I have a like for my birthday?
2. I S I T M Y B I R T H D A Y ?
Hey at least I’m not like begging
XxxxdabmasterxxxX Lol yep
Well thank them for coming to your BIRTHDAY PARTY.
There's no s on endgame
I spent all morning learning the lyrics to all your new songs I can't explain how much I love it or what it means to me❤️❤️❤️
I have a brother, his name is Gavin.
Gavin doesn’t go to get-together’s, isn’t very outgoing, and is generally disliked by my whole family.
However, I see him in a completely different light.
Gavin is a very kind, thoughtful, and intelligent person despite his oddities. He’s taught me a lot. Way more than even my dad or mom could dream of. And he’s simply pushed down by circumstance.
He loves AJR. And roughly four years ago, he showed me this song for the first time. I vividly remember it. And it is one of my “core memories”
Every time I listen to this song I think of Gavin. And all the positive things I’ve learned from him.
the beginning voice gives me chills, any song by ajr on the neotheater sends me back what feels like years
AJR: dropped 9 songs
Me: oh I’m broken
Right!?!?
So me. 😂
*actually 9*
PwatDa changed it 🙃
Well... "You'll make your own thing!"
Bro this song is so relatable
The TMM delayed announcement brought me back here 1:02
You're the first to comment this on this official audio video
I usually have one favorite in a album with the rest not as good but when AJR creates an album, all of them are so good and it’s hard to pick one
IKR
"I'm kinda scared of graduation because who am I when this is done...?"
That lyric just him as someone who recently graduated. It was tough, I hated the experience, was sometimes grateful for it, but needless to say, it was a major part of my life.
I needed this song right now, waking up around 10 PM in the evening, staring through my open window
Loving all the new music! Can't wait to see their concert!
Happy 4 years of Neotheater!!!!!🎂
Their album snapped holy
0:01 this melody brings memories
Facts
3:33 holy shit this gives me chills
Same
This is like the only channel that whenever it comes out with a new song no mater where I’m at even if it’s at school I always listen to it no matter what even with out headphones
Ikr
To be honest people who listen to music without headphones *B L A S T I N G* it is pretty annoying unless its not blasted
I just play it really softly into my ear
But I just found my headphones so I’m ok
@@wolveraine2168 ok playing softly in your ear is fine just needing to make sure
These are the kinds of songs my teacher should make us dance at our graduation. This is a kind of song I'll remember forever
"I'm 14 and this is deep"
That beat at the beginning lives in my head rent free.
2:57 WELCOME TO THE NEOTHEATER
this entire song is fucking amazing, especially after 2:41. i don't care what anybody says, this album is a masterpiece
I just heard this song for the first time today and by the end of it I was bawling like a friggin baby. For the longest time I’ve been so depressed but when people asked me what was wrong I always found it so difficult to put my feelings into words and I feel that this song describes my thoughts perfectly.
Thanks AJR I wished I had heard this song much sooner..
I literally cannot express how amazing this new album is! You can tell the passion and love that went into it you guys are absolutely amazing in my favorite band of all time! Keep making music I love you guys!
"And if you’re broken
You’ll make your own thing
You’ll make it so big
For all the world to see"
Is SUCH a good description of how society wants disabled people to act- they want us to become an inspiration, so they can look at us like "Wow, if that person can go so far despite all their struggles, why couldn't I?" Which sucks because THEY ARE THE REASON WE'RE STRUGGLING IN THE FIRST PLACE, and instead of altering the world to make it more accessible, they're just pretending to cheer us on, only sit back and feel good about themselves for being a "good person" and "doing the right thing". We are NOT an inspiration for you, we are not performers putting on a show for you, and if we're too "broken" to sail on your ocean- instead of watching us struggle trying to build our own world, maybe fix your own.
This is why I love AJR you get stuff that u don’t usually hear in songs and it’s really cool. AJR is awesome!
Did you all even notice that Adam never blinks on the Spotify app?
I think he’s a robot
mood
He took "your eyes are open so never close them" to a whole new level.
@@swordingly1983 HA
ruined 69 likes to annoy EVERYONE heheheh
1:02 "I'm kinda scared to drop this album"
Why? You guys make beautiful music! I feel like you should make more!
Genji TheGamer
Maybe cuz there's a chance this will be their last album :c
Nero Autumn
No
that last chorus after the 'im not fucking ready yet' gives me chills every time
my favourite uncle died few years ago on my 10th birthday which broke me, and from then everything started going down hill, the bullying from everyone in my class went worse which made me give up on almost everything, and now hearing this song it gave me inspiration and will to continue on everything i ever wanted, now i am pushing and testing my limits and i don't think il ever stop
This song really is it… I feel like I’m just at the beginning of my film career. I’m in the process of directing my second short, and the inspiration and energy this song brings, I feel like this is just the beginning for me. An excellent cast, crew, people viewing my work. It’s time to reach a bit higher in my city where I live. I am beyond excited for the dream that I am riding with. I don’t think I’m chasing my cinema dream. I’m fully living with it and enjoying riding every wave I got. Let’s go, next up forever..
Perfect timing guys, this released right after a nasty rejection from a girl that loved me back. It happened back when the album released, but I wanted to say thank you now for the music that helped me keep my head high and forget all about her, but have to admit, still kind of stings when I come back to it.
Game Odin Nathan Mathews Music what order should I listen to neo theatre in
@@ConnorTheCloutgod I usually listen to it order of the album, so next up forever, birthday party, and so on.
Congrats to the 3,465,296 people who listened to this song, because its just our memories 2 years ago :')
I can’t believe it’s been a year already, I love this album so much
How does such a masterpiece not be so popular? It’s been how long- like 4 years of listening to this song/ album, and it’s not super popular? People don’t get absolute beauty of music. With all the instruments, vocals, and well the fact it’s ajr! This whole album is a masterpiece.
how did i only find this AJR song now? i relate to it so much...
FR! So many lines I relate to as an ND/disabled person: "This is my imagination, this is how it looks and sounds", and "I know I gotta grow up sometime, but I don't think I'm ready yet".. not to mention the whole first verse is such a good metaphor for how society wants disabled people to act: "And if you’re broken / You’ll make your own thing / You’ll make it so big / For all the world to see" (sorry for the random rant btw 😅)
I gotta go so much bigger
So everybody's proud of me
I'm proud of you 💜💜💜
I love the song
BEST birthday present ever, this album was. Released ON my day. Thanks, AJR!
OMG WHAT AN BEAUTIFUL VOICE JACK!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!
"And if you're broken you'll make your own thing" i can't w that line, it makes me cry. Actually on second thought almost all of neotheater perfectly captures my emotions at this point in my life. Thank you- I love it. Also, during finale jack says "I hope I made you smile, its all I ever wanted" well buddy, mission accomplished a thousand times over. AJR is my favorite band and that's coming from a kid who almost never listens to music from anywhere near this decade. You killed it and I will never let go of the emotional roller coaster this album puts me through. So, one more time: Love you guys and thank you for all your music
this is my first AJR song i've ever heard, holy crap it's really good
This is probably the best opening to any album ever. Like how do you even come up with this? And the beat AHHH don’t get me started! It makes me feel something I can’t even explain all I can imagine is just my life goals and a musical type setting, oh my gosh I can’t even explain I love this album way to much! ♫❤︎
That drop puts shivers down my spine
This album really touches me.
The fact that it all relates to probably every person in the world, it's just so warm.
Adam,
Jack,
Ryan,
We will miss you, now that you're gone.
But one thing we will realize: your wonderful music and talents will be remembered and cherished for all to radiate joy from.
-Sincerely, a depressed girl who was one about to give up, is now striving to be better and is progressing. < 3
I love their music ❤ I’m a 38 year old woman I’ve introduced my 10 year to their music and she loves it
"'Cause I don't know what's coming next
I know I gotta grow up sometime
But I don't think I'm ready yet
I know I gotta grow up sometime
But I'm not fucking ready yet"
this... this part broke me. the whole song is painfully relatable, but this...
I'm on the Autism Spectrum, and my mom died a month before my 18th birthday. she alone raised me since dad never wanted me. she'd spent the last two years of her life battling brain cancer, so she couldn’t teach me how to be an adult. now I'm living with my adoptive sister, who's helping me fully transition into adulthood.
Thank you AJR, for getting me through this time when nothing else could. Love you guys 💛
The quality has improved so much with all of these songs
"Welcome to the neotheater everybody take your seats" idk why but this line just sends shockwaves through me
This song has a special bohemian rhapsody and the greatest showman vibe to it with modern effects
For me it sound a lot like scenes from a Italian restaurant the change of tempo change of sound is more like it well just for me I guess,ps give the song a try it’s not that bad.
I listed to this so much that if I had my eyes closed and it started playing, I wouldn’t notice
AJR your songs spoil me a lot, thank you
