Ky, I don't know how someone as young as you has such a deep insight to the battles we face & the pain we suffer when we feel alone & hopeless. You've always been this way; you must be an old soul, as they say. I love that your songs are beautiful & meaningful & not just a lot of fluff like so many others out there & not just from the younger artists. Thank you for the messages you send through your songs & the hope you give people talking directly to your audience. God bless you & keep you safe & healthy. You were born for this & you are amazing! ❤🤍💙👍👏🙏
Yes, I get that I have known people who were depressed young in life and still deal with it. It is not a great companion that is for sure I only have boughts of it now and then it is not fun. I feel for those who have it with them always and I always try to encourage the ones I know that have it.
This got me crying. If anyone who is reading this is struggling keep on fighting. Live to see the next day, even if you feel you can't. There is always someone who cares for you. In the real world and on the internet there are people that will miss you. You are enough, keep on fighting. ❤️❤️
Oh this hit me so unexpectedly... That's exactly how being depressed feels like, wearing masks, feeling lonely and misunderstood even when surrounded by so many people, nobody outside understands the depth of the situation. I'm 27 and I've been living in this condition the past 10 years and I'm still trying to get out of it. Very touching to see a young artist speaking so clearly and sensitively about that.
Deseo tu recuperación, no dejes de intentar ,busca ayuda ,siempre hay otras almas generosas que pueden acompañarte en este difícil camino.Un abrazo con mucha energía positiva
As someone who suffers with anxiety, depression, and other mental health struggles...thanks for doing this song. These conditions can take everything from a person and often does... personality, will to be productive, friends, the list goes on. Society needs to continue to work on ending stigma if those of us who need help ever hope to be truly accepted in the world ❤🙏
As a person with mental health issues I can say that this video (and the song) is on point. It's so relatable. Thank you for sharing such an important message! #itcouldbeanyone
This honestly brought tears to my eyes, especially towards the end. I've repeatedly suffered depression throughout my life, ever since I was a kid. I've lost friends to suicide and depression through the years and regularly hear from others suffering through depression too. So, I want to applaud you for making a song and video raising awareness of it, as well as how important it is to get help if you find yourself going through it. I'm definitely going to share this on my social media and hope others do too.
I am 67 years old and i love Ky , he has a wonderful smile and a message for everyone. This Depression is a Monster, made me sob at the end. Keep doing what you're doing Ky and thank you.xx
Hace apenas unos meses que te he descubierto,he visto videos de niño y ya tenias alma artistica y has evolucionado en positivo,has madurado y tus canciones sobrelos problemas reales de hoy dia con tu sensibilidad los haces más fáciles de llevar.Enhorabuena por tu talento.Sigue asi Ky llegas a muchos corazones jóvenes y mayores que te siguen.Yo con 68 años me alegro de haberte descubierto y te sigo.Enhorabiena por lo mucho que das.Bendiciones.
I almost lost my brother to depression 2 months ago. He’s recovering now but it’s gonna be a long way until he is fully recovered. If you are struggling speak up there are people who care about you.
My tears are still running down my cheeks. Ky, you [erformed very well. Message is strong. The the writer(s) of the lyrics you did a masterful job. I am sixty-four and have been on meds for depression since my twenties. If I knew then what I know now I could have sought help as a teen. A fifteen year old student of mine took his own life sfter school one day. I saw he was on his phone so simply waved good bye. Less than an hour later he was gone. I regret to this day not walking the thirty or so feet to him just to say hello. Take nothing for granted. God's Blessings to ALL involved with this project. Thank you.
Es maravilloso 👏 💕 éste joven. Tiene una voz preciosa 💕 y además comprometido con la salud mental. Hay muchas personas de toda edad padeciendo depresión. Gracias Ky Baldwin ❤.
The video by Ky is truly amazing on how he highlights the seriousness of depression and mental health issues in general. Many of us hide behind fake smiles or hide our true feelings. It's time to ask for help, it's time to talk mental health. Your an amazing person, remember that. Stay strong everyone. Great video Ky! ❤️
Thank you ky for raising awareness for such an important cause. I lost my cousin three weeks ago and I've never felt pain like it, I hope he's at peace now. It's so important that people reach out if they need it
Deep meaning in a powerful, magnificently given song and an emotionally ravaging video. You, Mr. Ky Baldwin, are a gift to us all. You have a 50-year-old's wisdom in a twenty-something body.
My your talent is endless. Even we older people enjoy to watch you grow into a young man with so much potential. Your lyrics are simply unbelievably original and deep. Your Aussie brothers and sisters probably feel they have lost one of their best.
Depression is so extremely hard to live with and even harder when you try and do it on your own, people cant see Depression and we have learnt to put on that fake smile and laugh so how are they meant to know its not like we have a plaster cast on our arm everyone can see we have broken our arm so its up to us to take the second hardest step forward the first one is to addmit to yourself your have Depression the second and most importantly is to tell someone, ask for help, go to your gp, go to your school counselor or even your parents if you can but 100% reach out some way some how ❤❤❤❤ to all who reads this
I am so very sorry for your loss. Not something any parent should go through. Sometimes the signs just aren't there - that is what this video is about. To show the signs so people can help.
I waited two months for this video, and every time I am surprised by the creativity and love you have for this work, I am proud to hear and see your professional progress during these 6 years, keep it up and I am sure you will go far❤.
Que importante es hablar de salud mental. Sufrí años de depresión y realmente fue un monstruo. Pero hay luz al final del camino, vayan al psiquiatra aunque sea caro. Les dará terapia y medicamentos. Un fuerte abrazo a los que sufren de depresión, no están solos. Somos una comunidad ❤❤
You also, with a girl depressed and a guy reacting, show a fearless example of boy/man crying as okay - still, in our time, a vital issue to face. How many ways can we shout BRAVO 👏 to you!?🙏❣️
This is one of the ABSOLUTE BEST videos I have seen from you. When I saw Dear Mom, Stranger's Silence etc. I thought you were amazing! Now I know you are far beyond amazing and words cannot even describe what this means to me!! Being 17, seeing the word flip upside down from one day to another and trying to keep myself from mentally breaking down while having to deal with so much (mainly personal problems) at the same time plus having a friend who is suffering from depression and has attempted two suicides isn't easy at all! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video!!! I wish you the best this world has to offer!!!! 💯💯💯💯
Ky, I love your song and most of all l love your final words. I am a psychiatry, and very few times Ive heard such honest and thoughtfull words about depression and how to reach for help. THANK YOU!!!
Baldwin you are great to have noticed there's a realm known as depression, which is really destroying to anyone who is not actually as worse as they think of themselves. Actually they are tenderly loved and cared by God, worth to be alive
¡Fabulosa tu canción!, como madre aún sigo luchando con la depresión de mi hija, llevamos muchos años cuidándonos, juntas... , es duro Sé que lo conseguiremos, la venceremos. Gracias Ky.
Tantos jovens como adulto estão passando por depressão , ansiedade, conflitos espiritual mas infelizmente poucas pessoas acreditam, acha que é charme,drama. Vamos 🙏 ajudar esta pessoa. Sua musica declara que precisamos de ajuda .
THIS SONG REALLY HIT HOME!!! I am 62, and have fought depression my entire life! I still struggle on a daily basis. I have a very understanding and supportive husband. I am the mother of 5 adult children....4 of them judge me, and won't speak to me because of my moods. But my youngest daughter, 30, is just like me.And I always have that feer in the back of my mind, that one day she will be gone. I just sent her your song to watch and listen to. THANK YOU !!!!!!
idk if you read the comments but i just want to THANK YOU. this songs means a lot to me. i been struggling with depression for over 20 yrs. few times i been hospitalized due to suicide ideation. i got the help i needed and doing better. it was not my time to go. i am here for a reason. Thank u once again
First time hearing this song... Today... September 28, 2023 I am your fan. Me, a Mother of 5, and Grandmother of 3. This song is ABSOLUTE THRUTH. I have suffered from depression for forty-five years, and many times I wanted to end it. But years ago I made a promise to myself that I would not hurt my loved ones, and PROMISES I keep. Thank you for being such a beautiful Soul. I just learned of your existence, and now watch your progress everyday. GRACIAS ❤️ KY POR FAVOR CONTINÚA CANTANDO EN ESPAÑOL 🙌 TE MANDO MI BENDICIÓN
damnn this just reminds us that it could be anyone... always check in with your friends family and reach out if you need help... we never know who is suffering or how much people can help us... i recently had a chat with some of my happy friends and found that everyone hid so much sadness... It's easier together
My brother thought everyone would be better off, happier without him. It ruined my mom, she was never the same. None of us were. Seek help, and keep seeking. If you hit on some meds that balance you , please don’t stop taking them. You’re feeling better because of the meds, it’s not that you don’t need them anymore.
Todo lo que puedo decir de tí es que eres una buena persona que le da importancia a lo que lo tiene y has empezado pronto a dar tu talento y dichoso quien te acompañe . Me alegro de conocerte. 🤗
I survived three years of a bipolar breakdown after my fathers death from cancer out of the blue. I grew boxing gloves in the process and would not wish it on anyone especially as it nearly killed me. All who cared stood by me so I was very lucky as I was extremely challenging. We all have mood changes but some are much more dynamic and for me caused by the emotional shock/grief. Ky you are a very talented wise compassionate human being. ❤ I’m a survivor who is very strong now but still suffers emotional anxiety where as practical challenges do not bother me at all. We are all different ❤ Thanks and yes I cried too. ❤ Excellent to all concerned in this production.
Beautiful. Such an artistic way of showing there is a mask that people wear in the world and that we need to be there for them. Remarkable Ky, Love it.
When your own soul eats you up inside, but your outer facade always shows a smile, when life freezes and no more warmth penetrates you ... only someone can take away this pain who gives you love and understanding. Let yourself be helped ... you are not alone. ❤️
Wow, this is truly remarkable! Such a great song with such an important topic. The video is really well done, you did a great job directing. The song, the actors - everything. All of you involved should be so so super proud. It's just so beautiful!
Listened to this song for a while off and on, first time watching the video and I'm not afraid to say i shed a few tears. This song speaks so true, depression is a monster. Even for us as adults. It has been a battle of my own for 7 years now. I have my moments, my struggles, but i do my best to push through it all. Even though many times its extremely difficult 😞
I added a comment last year, but I’m going to add another one. This song has taken on more meaning to me since I posted my comment. A few short months after I posted, I lost my mom suddenly with no warning. Then a few months later I had a change in duty at work, and now I struggle. I struggle more than I ever felt like I could. The one part about this video that resonates with me so much, the mask. Most days I paint a smile on my face and try to push forward, but then when I’m alone in the quiet…the mask falls off and I find myself asking “what am I doing? How do I keep going?” It truly is a struggle, I’ve always said I have inner demons that I’ve battled against, except now it feels like a full on war. But I continue to push myself forward, even when I stumble
Dammit Ky, there's no words to describe how much I love your writing and your message to the world. I've been following you for a few years now and I've tuned into some of your lives (albeit silently haha) and you're honestly one of the most brilliant artists I've had the pleasure of following the journey of. Thank you so much for all that you do!
Fantástico, choreiii😢😢 Te achei hoje no facebook passei para conhecer o video! Maravilhoa mensagem e linguagem para nossos jovens que estão sendo levados arrancados de nós pela depressão e suicídio. Por mais jovens como você neste planeta. Vou levar seu video para uma palestra sobre saúde mental! Gratidão!❤
Thanks! I won't say anymore but I'm depressed for so many years that's when my mother died which I am a caregiver. The only medicine I take is music and your songs. Thanks for your warm messages about depression. You're so great! ❤❤❤
Beautiful song, that's really deep for someone so young to understand those emotions. Just discovered this young singer a few weeks back when I was really low and "Dear mom" moved me to my core, because even at 37 years old sometimes I feel like letting go and leaving this world. Of course as he says teenage years are probably the hardest in life, but depression can it at anytime, you just have to find your moral support be it a friend, family member or doctor, don't be afraid to ask for help.
Wow! congratulations for your sensitivity in approaching these very important topics! The story told in the video is so deep and real... I'm crying now! You are an amazing artist Ky!
627 p.m. your songs have helped me so much I know there are so many people out there suffering if they listen to your songs they'll feel better knowing that they're not allowed alone especially liked your song Down Under it makes me sing and dance and forget my problems may God watch over you because you have so much to give you are so talented don't ever throw that away away I love you guy Kai sorry about the misspelling KY
I absolutely love this video so much. From someone who has dealt with depression and grief in my life, this is such an important subject and it makes me so proud when the younger generation like yourself are taking on this subject too. Ky Well done as always 👏
I just came upon this song. It's beautiful. I've been dealing with depression m anxiety for yrs but on medication n have a therapist. It's nothing to be ashamed of. We can't help how we feel. I'm no kid. Depression can hit anyone at any age. I think your song will help especially young people. Tha k you again Ky.
This hit me hard. Ive hit my lowest and felt like i had to put a front on so this hit me as im sure it did others. Thank you so much for sharing this ky the words the video and your reaction in end of video is a huge message and i got very emotional by this beautiful song and video. Ky your amazing positivity and stunning voice is what makes my day brighter 'a bit of ky' can do everyone a world of good. Thank you for sharing a important message ky and dont ever change. We all need someone like you around x
Ky, YOU ARE A WONDER AND A BEAUTIFUL ONE AT THAT...I have felt SO MANY EMOTIONS through your GRACE MOSTLY JOY!!!! THANK YOU for helping to HEAL THE WORLD! BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS...
Con questi video e questo genere di canzoni mi fai sempre commuovere. Bravissimo! La depressione è una cosa che accomuna molte persone e solo l'amore di chi ti ama e non ti abbandona mai può essere sconfitta! I love that song ❤️❤️❤️
The more I listened and watched your video, the more I come to admire you. For such a 😮age you show wisdom and is so profound in understanding life. You are truly one of a kind and a blessing to us viewers.
Depression is so evil I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy. I've suffered from it for many many years but as long as I wake up every day then I've kicked Depression in the arse. 1 day at a time is all we need to do and I'm 56
Ky, your soul is so amazing. I’m speechless 😢. I’m sure you are going to touch the heart of many people. God bless your soul and your life. I thankful to find an amazing human being like you ♥️🥰🙏🙏
You are so amazing Ky 😊 A beautiful voice that touch our hearts. Young man you are truly blessed with a beautiful heart and soul⭐️❤️ You are a super-star in my eyes! 🌟🌟👍🏻 Definitely an old soul..🧡🧡⭐️ I hope only for happy amazing things to be always on your path 🙏 Always stay true to yourself no matter what!! 👍🏻🧡 You go super-star!! ⭐️⭐️ You deserve the best of the best and to always be happy in your life. 🙏👍🏻👏👏🧡⭐️⭐️❤️😀😀⭐️❤️
I'm 30 years old I've been dealing with PTSD and anxiety since I was 19 and have been through 2 years of therapy in 2012 and 2019 and it helped me immensely if anyone who reads this is thinking about therapy but pushes the thoughts away because you're ashamed you need it from the bottom of my heart please do it don't be ashamed to admit you need help acceptance is only the first step to recovery and I won't sugar coat it the road through therapy will be tough and emotional but at the end of the road however long that road may be you will be extremely thankful you went through with it
@@iamkybaldwin i am too Ky the first time in 2012 i needed help to accept therapy was the best thing for me thanks to my friends who i'm very thankful to have in my life i went through with it came out a better person fast forward 7 years i went through that same negative spiral again but this time i recognized what was happening so got on the phone and requested therapy myself which i'm very proud of that i did
The message of this song is very powerful. I have to deal with this condition myself, it is really hard to see any kind of hope when you are in a hole you don't think you can get out of. This song gave me some hope to see the light, I really need someone to talk to but I can't find someone to tell all this that I'm going through. Several times (about 5) I self-injured, but I didn't want to leave the people I love "with broken wings", although the pain sometimes consumed me, I knew I was here for something. People, get help if you need it, it's not bad to talk about how you feel and it can help you get trauma out of your system. Stay strong, y'all:)
Ky, I have no idea why I have never come across your videos and postings before now, but I just want to say you are amazing with not only your voice, but with your insights of life issues and making depression awareness through your videos and music. Please keep up the good work.❤❤❤❤
Ha Sido un garbanzo de a libra encontrarte, tienes una voz hermosa, cantas con pasión. Me dedico a la psicoterapia y agradezco el mensaje que das al final de la canción y obvio, también la canción. Hay tantas personas lidiando con depresión y ansiedad que lamentablemente no buscan ayuda y calman cómo se sienten suicidándose al no encontrar otra salida al sufrimiento que tienen. Cuando acompaño a alguna persona que se siente tan mal, es grato observar que poco a poco se siente mejor al trabajar con las vivencias que dejaron marcas dolorosas. Gran mensaje, sigue siendo un chico que hace diferencia con su voz. .
You have the sweetest, most beautiful voice I have ever heard. This song is from the Peter Allen movie where you act. Ky, you are a great artist, an athletic singer, you have many talents. Keep going my favorite star.
Ky I'm going to say this song made me ugly cry as some one that got bulled in school but also as someone that talked people off the cliff this song and dear mom can change people lives
Your kindness, light, and talents continue to amaze me, Ky. Just watched this video for the first time. SO well written, performed, directed, and edited. Really good stuff here. The epilogue is perfect. Keep on being you.
i have been dealing with depression since i was 9 years old and im now 37 and it has been really hard at 75 percent of the time, 25 percent of the time is easy and i am getting help every week for it, this song makes me realize that its not so hard just need more to connect with and to communicate with. This song did make me cry.
I haven't cried this much since i saw the Dear Mom video. You have done it again Ky. This is a very heart felt video that makes people open their eyes to depression and the things that many people go through every day to hide it from others. May god bless you Ky in everything you do. Much love bro ❤💙
WOW KY. Ever since I found you by accident that day with ' Dear Mum '. I have followed you. Even when you appeared in Neighbours. This has to be another one of your best songs that gets you, right in the heart. I know, you do a lot of your own work on your music videos. This is brilliant.
Wow! So we'll done! This will help so many to understand a little how Clynical Depression feels, and will help young people identify what they are going through and know they are not alone!
This song hits deep every time I hear it. I'm only 16 and have lost 4 people I knew to suice and seen many friends suffer with depression and self harm.
Ky, voz abencoada por Deus, me encanta te ouvir, é uma alegria lembrar seus vídeos dançando e cantando. Hoje sou deficiente visual, mas agradeco por ter talento novo como você. Parabéns , menino lindo.
KY TENHO 62 ANOS E 18 VIVENDO EM DEPRESSÃO, NÃO DÊ IMPORTANCIAS ÀS COISAS QUE NÃO TE LEVAM PRA FRENTE ELA A DEPRESSÃO CHEGA SUTILMENTE E QUANDO VC SE DA CONTA JA INVADIU TODO TEU SER .VC TEM UM TALENTE GENUINO,NATO,JOVEM LINDO ,CANTA COM A ALMA E NOS TRÁS A TODOS QUE TE OUVE UMA IMENSA FELICIDADE MAIS EU NÃO QUERO QUE PENSE EM NÓS DESEJO DO FUNDO DO CORAÇÃO ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ QUE DEUS E O ESPÍRITO SANTO ALCANCE TUA ALMA E ENCHA DE CONTENTAMENTO E FELICIDADE TE AMO DESDE O PRIMEIRO MOMENTO QUE ASSISTIR SEU VIDEO VIVA A VIDA COM FELICIDADE CONTINUE ESTE TRABALHO LINDO QUE VCS FAZEM E QUE ESTE TRABALHO SEJA RECONHECIDO E VCS SE TORNEM FAMOSOS PELOS SEUS PRÓPRIOS MÉRITOS VCS MERECEM VC MERECE FAÇA ISSO POR VC CONTINUE NOS ALEGRANDO COM O TALENTO DE VCS BJS NO TEU CORAÇÃO 💓❤️💋❤️ CONTO COM ISSO EU SOU DE SALVADOR-BAHIA-BRASIL
Wow KY! You are really awake & all kinds of beautiful inside. Thank you for giving of yourself to people your age. It's a rough time in the world. It was much easier when I was a teen over 50 yrs ago. Maybe we'll see it get better soon. God bless you.
Your song really touched me. So many people feel that depression means that you are just depressed over a certain situation. That couldn't be farther from the truth. I know. I live with depression every single day of my life. And depression is a monster. I'm not able to reach out for the help that I need because I don't have any insurance that will pay for it. So I go to my priest. I don't think he gets it so I continue to look for someone who could identify with me and help me please pray for me I believe in the power of Prayer
Mann i used to watch you when you were a kid,I saw your uptown funk music video and I just checked to see if your still posting,your amazinggg keep on goingg lots of love😙😙😙😙
Such a good song please sing again. It really has lots of meaning and reminders that we can't always feel happy at all times. And that we all have worries. 💕❣️💕
I’m so sad because I can’t reach out because people will say I’m faking it (it happened before) now I’m struggling even more because of people.. this song omg I live it it’s sad but it has a deep meaning
This is a beautiful song I overlooked this song depression is around the world a lot and it's real I've never suffered with it but it's nice to see a song about this mental health condition 👏👏 this song would of took a lot of creation ❤
Ky, my heart is heavy again. Bringing me to tears. The video and music together is so perfectly executed in terms of real, raw emotions and what it's like for someone with depression and the people around them, who see them every day. This hits close to home because I've nearly lost my closest friends to depression and although I've never had depression, I have had been in similar situations that made me believe I would never make it to 18. Adding onto that, someone from my school took their own life on campus during school hours and we all had to walk around the scene after school, and although it's been more than half a year, I still think about it a lot. During the scenes where the friends of the main character in this MV go to school without her, that really brought me to become teary because the day after it happened at school, everyone wore black to school the next day, and there was a lot unease in the air, and teachers and students crying. Although we had talks at school, a memorial and councelling etc, we had to continue our studies at school knowing that person isn't with us anymore and that their life literally ended near us, and it was just really hard. And I remember, everyone at the school environment was just not the same again. It's never an easy subject to talk about, but it's always important to check in and care for the people around us before it's too late. The music video captures the emotions really well, especially the more emotional parts of the song + your acting, Ky. Thank you
This song is so profound... I can see your beautiful heart as you sing this song. You are a Great Composer of songs and you have a Big Compassionate heart too as you use your songs to reach out to people. You have great inspiring message and empathy which I truly appreciate ! I am so happy to have come across your channel and to know you through YT. I Love all your original songs and cover songs and your beautiful personality.. God bless you always, Ky.. May God grant you the desires of your heart and every success in your music journey...especially your coming concerts in LA. All the BEST to You, KY !!! Sending you lots of ❤❤💕
Ky, I don't know how someone as young as you has such a deep insight to the battles we face & the pain we suffer when we feel alone & hopeless. You've always been this way; you must be an old soul, as they say. I love that your songs are beautiful & meaningful & not just a lot of fluff like so many others out there & not just from the younger artists. Thank you for the messages you send through your songs & the hope you give people talking directly to your audience. God bless you & keep you safe & healthy. You were born for this & you are amazing! ❤🤍💙👍👏🙏
Terrible realidad, la humanidad ignorando a los humanos. 😢
Me hizo llorar el video, es un gran cantante.
I agree he is an old soul so good
It's not an age thing. Depression hit me at 14. It's been my constant companion through life. I'm 60 now and I still deal with it.
Yes, I get that I have known people who were depressed young in life and still deal with it. It is not a great companion that is for sure I only have boughts of it now and then it is not fun. I feel for those who have it with them always and I always try to encourage the ones I know that have it.
@@barbarabrown1491 no it's not fun. I'm 60 now and it comes and goes but the older I get, the more I struggle
This got me crying. If anyone who is reading this is struggling keep on fighting. Live to see the next day, even if you feel you can't. There is always someone who cares for you. In the real world and on the internet there are people that will miss you. You are enough, keep on fighting. ❤️❤️
You're exactly right. Thank you for this
Love this Comment
Knowing that someone cares for me or they will miss me doesn't really make me feel any better. But I really don't want to spread negativity
@@user-zp1xp7kq2s I’m sorry
@@leahlazenby6544 Don't worry, some people just have to go through a pathetic existence
Oh this hit me so unexpectedly...
That's exactly how being depressed feels like, wearing masks, feeling lonely and misunderstood even when surrounded by so many people, nobody outside understands the depth of the situation.
I'm 27 and I've been living in this condition the past 10 years and I'm still trying to get out of it.
Very touching to see a young artist speaking so clearly and sensitively about that.
Never give up...Reach Out

As someone who suffers with anxiety, depression, and other mental health struggles...thanks for doing this song. These conditions can take everything from a person and often does... personality, will to be productive, friends, the list goes on. Society needs to continue to work on ending stigma if those of us who need help ever hope to be truly accepted in the world ❤🙏
As a person with mental health issues I can say that this video (and the song) is on point. It's so relatable. Thank you for sharing such an important message! #itcouldbeanyone
This honestly brought tears to my eyes, especially towards the end. I've repeatedly suffered depression throughout my life, ever since I was a kid. I've lost friends to suicide and depression through the years and regularly hear from others suffering through depression too. So, I want to applaud you for making a song and video raising awareness of it, as well as how important it is to get help if you find yourself going through it. I'm definitely going to share this on my social media and hope others do too.
I am 67 years old and i love Ky , he has a wonderful smile and a message for everyone. This Depression is a Monster, made me sob at the end. Keep doing what you're doing Ky and thank you.xx

I almost lost my brother to depression 2 months ago. He’s recovering now but it’s gonna be a long way until he is fully recovered. If you are struggling speak up there are people who care about you.

Wow I’m speechless such a good video,together we can get this
Thank you Domsel!
Es maravilloso 👏 💕 éste joven. Tiene una voz preciosa 💕 y además comprometido con la salud mental. Hay muchas personas de toda edad padeciendo depresión. Gracias Ky Baldwin ❤.
The video by Ky is truly amazing on how he highlights the seriousness of depression and mental health issues in general. Many of us hide behind fake smiles or hide our true feelings. It's time to ask for help, it's time to talk mental health. Your an amazing person, remember that. Stay strong everyone. Great video Ky! ❤️
Thank you ky for raising awareness for such an important cause. I lost my cousin three weeks ago and I've never felt pain like it, I hope he's at peace now. It's so important that people reach out if they need it
Deep meaning in a powerful, magnificently given song and an emotionally ravaging video. You, Mr. Ky Baldwin, are a gift to us all. You have a 50-year-old's wisdom in a twenty-something body.
My your talent is endless. Even we older people enjoy to watch you grow into a young man with so much potential. Your lyrics are simply unbelievably original and deep. Your Aussie brothers and sisters probably feel they have lost one of their best.
Me too. I am 77.
Thank you for this beautiful song and message. My best friend of 50 yrs died from from alcoholism and depression. I miss her every day!❤
Depression is so extremely hard to live with and even harder when you try and do it on your own, people cant see Depression and we have learnt to put on that fake smile and laugh so how are they meant to know its not like we have a plaster cast on our arm everyone can see we have broken our arm so its up to us to take the second hardest step forward the first one is to addmit to yourself your have Depression the second and most importantly is to tell someone, ask for help, go to your gp, go to your school counselor or even your parents if you can but 100% reach out some way some how ❤❤❤❤ to all who reads this
I lost my son 2 years ago...We didn't see the signs and his amazing life is gone. Thanks for sharing this story..God Bless You
I am so very sorry for your loss. Not something any parent should go through. Sometimes the signs just aren't there - that is what this video is about. To show the signs so people can help.
I waited two months for this video, and every time I am surprised by the creativity and love you have for this work, I am proud to hear and see your professional progress during these 6 years, keep it up and I am sure you will go far❤.
Que importante es hablar de salud mental. Sufrí años de depresión y realmente fue un monstruo. Pero hay luz al final del camino, vayan al psiquiatra aunque sea caro. Les dará terapia y medicamentos. Un fuerte abrazo a los que sufren de depresión, no están solos. Somos una comunidad ❤❤
You also, with a girl depressed and a guy reacting, show a fearless example of boy/man crying as okay - still, in our time, a vital issue to face. How many ways can we shout BRAVO 👏 to you!?🙏❣️
Yes
This is one of the ABSOLUTE BEST videos I have seen from you. When I saw Dear Mom, Stranger's Silence etc. I thought you were amazing! Now I know you are far beyond amazing and words cannot even describe what this means to me!! Being 17, seeing the word flip upside down from one day to another and trying to keep myself from mentally breaking down while having to deal with so much (mainly personal problems) at the same time plus having a friend who is suffering from depression and has attempted two suicides isn't easy at all! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video!!! I wish you the best this world has to offer!!!! 💯💯💯💯
It's never too late to fight for one's life and especially mental health.
Ky, I love your song and most of all l love your final words. I am a psychiatry, and very few times Ive heard such honest and thoughtfull words about depression and how to reach for help. THANK YOU!!!
This made me so emotional because it’s just too relatable. Thank you for showing reality!
Baldwin you are great to have noticed there's a realm known as depression, which is really destroying to anyone who is not actually as worse as they think of themselves. Actually they are tenderly loved and cared by God, worth to be alive
¡Fabulosa tu canción!, como madre aún sigo luchando con la depresión de mi hija, llevamos muchos años cuidándonos, juntas... , es duro Sé que lo conseguiremos, la venceremos. Gracias Ky.
Tantos jovens como adulto estão passando por depressão , ansiedade, conflitos espiritual mas infelizmente poucas pessoas acreditam, acha que é charme,drama. Vamos 🙏 ajudar esta pessoa. Sua musica declara que precisamos de ajuda .
Soy una abuela de 82 años y... También te sigo... Eres un hermoso niño. Dios bendiga tu voz y tu presencia, te cuide y te guíe por buen camino...❤❤❤❤❤
THIS SONG REALLY HIT HOME!!! I am 62, and have fought depression my entire life! I still struggle on a daily basis. I have a very understanding and supportive husband. I am the mother of 5 adult children....4 of them judge me, and won't speak to me because of my moods. But my youngest daughter, 30, is just like me.And I always have that feer in the back of my mind, that one day she will be gone. I just sent her your song to watch and listen to. THANK YOU !!!!!!
idk if you read the comments but i just want to THANK YOU. this songs means a lot to me. i been struggling with depression for over 20 yrs. few times i been hospitalized due to suicide ideation. i got the help i needed and doing better. it was not my time to go. i am here for a reason. Thank u once again
First time hearing this song...
Today... September 28, 2023
I am your fan. Me, a Mother of 5, and Grandmother of 3.
This song is ABSOLUTE THRUTH.
I have suffered from depression for forty-five years, and many times I wanted to end it. But years ago I made a promise to myself that I would not hurt my loved ones, and PROMISES I keep. Thank you for being such a beautiful Soul. I just learned of your existence, and now watch your progress everyday.
GRACIAS ❤️ KY
POR FAVOR CONTINÚA CANTANDO EN ESPAÑOL
🙌 TE MANDO MI BENDICIÓN
Awesome video for this beautiful and touching song!
Well done Ky. You really came back strong after Dear Mom!
damnn this just reminds us that it could be anyone... always check in with your friends family and reach out if you need help... we never know who is suffering or how much people can help us... i recently had a chat with some of my happy friends and found that everyone hid so much sadness... It's easier together
My brother thought everyone would be better off, happier without him. It ruined my mom, she was never the same. None of us were. Seek help, and keep seeking. If you hit on some meds that balance you , please don’t stop taking them. You’re feeling better because of the meds, it’s not that you don’t need them anymore.
Todo lo que puedo decir de tí es que eres una buena persona que le da importancia a lo que lo tiene y has empezado pronto a dar tu talento y dichoso quien te acompañe . Me alegro de conocerte. 🤗
I survived three years of a bipolar breakdown after my fathers death from cancer out of the blue. I grew boxing gloves in the process and would not wish it on anyone especially as it nearly killed me.
All who cared stood by me so I was very lucky as I was extremely challenging.
We all have mood changes but some are much more dynamic and for me caused by the emotional shock/grief.
Ky you are a very talented wise compassionate human being. ❤
I’m a survivor who is very strong now but still suffers emotional anxiety where as practical challenges do not bother me at all.
We are all different ❤
Thanks and yes I cried too. ❤
Excellent to all concerned in this production.
Amazing song and music video was very personal to me and a lot of people on here and thank you for everything Ky Baldwin.
Beautiful. Such an artistic way of showing there is a mask that people wear in the world and that we need to be there for them. Remarkable Ky, Love it.
When your own soul eats you up inside, but your outer facade always shows a smile, when life freezes and no more warmth penetrates you ... only someone can take away this pain who gives you love and understanding. Let yourself be helped ... you are not alone. ❤️
Wow, this is truly remarkable! Such a great song with such an important topic. The video is really well done, you did a great job directing. The song, the actors - everything. All of you involved should be so so super proud. It's just so beautiful!
Listened to this song for a while off and on, first time watching the video and I'm not afraid to say i shed a few tears. This song speaks so true, depression is a monster. Even for us as adults. It has been a battle of my own for 7 years now. I have my moments, my struggles, but i do my best to push through it all. Even though many times its extremely difficult 😞
My eyes are sweating. Who turned on the heat ?
Your clips are masterpieces ♥
I added a comment last year, but I’m going to add another one. This song has taken on more meaning to me since I posted my comment. A few short months after I posted, I lost my mom suddenly with no warning. Then a few months later I had a change in duty at work, and now I struggle. I struggle more than I ever felt like I could. The one part about this video that resonates with me so much, the mask. Most days I paint a smile on my face and try to push forward, but then when I’m alone in the quiet…the mask falls off and I find myself asking “what am I doing? How do I keep going?” It truly is a struggle, I’ve always said I have inner demons that I’ve battled against, except now it feels like a full on war. But I continue to push myself forward, even when I stumble
Never give up. Life is worth the fight.
Dammit Ky, there's no words to describe how much I love your writing and your message to the world. I've been following you for a few years now and I've tuned into some of your lives (albeit silently haha) and you're honestly one of the most brilliant artists I've had the pleasure of following the journey of.
Thank you so much for all that you do!
Fantástico, choreiii😢😢 Te achei hoje no facebook passei para conhecer o video! Maravilhoa mensagem e linguagem para nossos jovens que estão sendo levados arrancados de nós pela depressão e suicídio. Por mais jovens como você neste planeta. Vou levar seu video para uma palestra sobre saúde mental! Gratidão!❤
Ok this time brought tears. Depression itself is heartbreaking. But I can't imagine what the people left behind feel like.😢
Thanks! I won't say anymore but I'm depressed for so many years that's when my mother died which I am a caregiver. The only medicine I take is music and your songs. Thanks for your warm messages about depression. You're so great! ❤❤❤
Beautiful song, that's really deep for someone so young to understand those emotions. Just discovered this young singer a few weeks back when I was really low and "Dear mom" moved me to my core, because even at 37 years old sometimes I feel like letting go and leaving this world. Of course as he says teenage years are probably the hardest in life, but depression can it at anytime, you just have to find your moral support be it a friend, family member or doctor, don't be afraid to ask for help.
Wow! congratulations for your sensitivity in approaching these very important topics! The story told in the video is so deep and real... I'm crying now! You are an amazing artist Ky!
627 p.m. your songs have helped me so much I know there are so many people out there suffering if they listen to your songs they'll feel better knowing that they're not allowed alone especially liked your song Down Under it makes me sing and dance and forget my problems may God watch over you because you have so much to give you are so talented don't ever throw that away away I love you guy Kai sorry about the misspelling KY
I absolutely love this video so much. From someone who has dealt with depression and grief in my life, this is such an important subject and it makes me so proud when the younger generation like yourself are taking on this subject too. Ky Well done as always 👏
I just came upon this song. It's beautiful. I've been dealing with depression m anxiety for yrs but on medication n have a therapist. It's nothing to be ashamed of. We can't help how we feel. I'm no kid. Depression can hit anyone at any age. I think your song will help especially young people. Tha k you again Ky.
This hit me hard. Ive hit my lowest and felt like i had to put a front on so this hit me as im sure it did others. Thank you so much for sharing this ky the words the video and your reaction in end of video is a huge message and i got very emotional by this beautiful song and video. Ky your amazing positivity and stunning voice is what makes my day brighter 'a bit of ky' can do everyone a world of good. Thank you for sharing a important message ky and dont ever change. We all need someone like you around x
Ky, YOU ARE A WONDER AND A BEAUTIFUL ONE AT THAT...I have felt SO MANY EMOTIONS through your GRACE MOSTLY JOY!!!! THANK YOU for helping to HEAL THE WORLD! BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS...
Con questi video e questo genere di canzoni mi fai sempre commuovere. Bravissimo! La depressione è una cosa che accomuna molte persone e solo l'amore di chi ti ama e non ti abbandona mai può essere sconfitta! I love that song ❤️❤️❤️
The more I listened and watched your video, the more I come to admire you. For such a 😮age you show wisdom and is so profound in understanding life. You are truly one of a kind and a blessing to us viewers.
Fantastic video Ky and such an important message - everybody counts.
Depression is so evil I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy. I've suffered from it for many many years but as long as I wake up every day then I've kicked Depression in the arse. 1 day at a time is all we need to do and I'm 56
Ky, your soul is so amazing. I’m speechless 😢. I’m sure you are going to touch the heart of many people. God bless your soul and your life. I thankful to find an amazing human being like you ♥️🥰🙏🙏
You are so amazing Ky 😊 A beautiful voice that touch our hearts. Young man you are truly blessed with a beautiful heart and soul⭐️❤️ You are a super-star in my eyes! 🌟🌟👍🏻

You deserve the best of the best and to always be happy in your life.
🙏👍🏻👏👏🧡⭐️⭐️❤️😀😀⭐️❤️
U have the best music ability and the sweetest singing voice ❤️
I'm 30 years old I've been dealing with PTSD and anxiety since I was 19 and have been through 2 years of therapy in 2012 and 2019 and it helped me immensely if anyone who reads this is thinking about therapy but pushes the thoughts away because you're ashamed you need it from the bottom of my heart please do it don't be ashamed to admit you need help acceptance is only the first step to recovery and I won't sugar coat it the road through therapy will be tough and emotional but at the end of the road however long that road may be you will be extremely thankful you went through with it
Seeking solutions is brave not shameful. So glad you took the journey.
@@iamkybaldwin i am too Ky the first time in 2012 i needed help to accept therapy was the best thing for me thanks to my friends who i'm very thankful to have in my life i went through with it came out a better person fast forward 7 years i went through that same negative spiral again but this time i recognized what was happening so got on the phone and requested therapy myself which i'm very proud of that i did
Poignant ending with a twist Ky. Loved this video. Great job to everyone, but especially you.
Depression is never ending but if right meds it can become easier to cope.
Awesome Ky!! Great song and video!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The message of this song is very powerful. I have to deal with this condition myself, it is really hard to see any kind of hope when you are in a hole you don't think you can get out of. This song gave me some hope to see the light, I really need someone to talk to but I can't find someone to tell all this that I'm going through. Several times (about 5) I self-injured, but I didn't want to leave the people I love "with broken wings", although the pain sometimes consumed me, I knew I was here for something.
People, get help if you need it, it's not bad to talk about how you feel and it can help you get trauma out of your system. Stay strong, y'all:)
Ky, I have no idea why I have never come across your videos and postings before now, but I just want to say you are amazing with not only your voice, but with your insights of life issues and making depression awareness through your videos and music. Please keep up the good work.❤❤❤❤
That this powerful creation has not hit mainstream is sin.
Ha Sido un garbanzo de a libra encontrarte, tienes una voz hermosa, cantas con pasión. Me dedico a la psicoterapia y agradezco el mensaje que das al final de la canción y obvio, también la canción. Hay tantas personas lidiando con depresión y ansiedad que lamentablemente no buscan ayuda y calman cómo se sienten suicidándose al no encontrar otra salida al sufrimiento que tienen. Cuando acompaño a alguna persona que se siente tan mal, es grato observar que poco a poco se siente mejor al trabajar con las vivencias que dejaron marcas dolorosas. Gran mensaje, sigue siendo un chico que hace diferencia con su voz. .
You have the sweetest, most beautiful voice I have ever heard. This song is from the Peter Allen movie where you act. Ky, you are a great artist, an athletic singer, you have many talents. Keep going my favorite star.
Ky I'm going to say this song made me ugly cry as some one that got bulled in school but also as someone that talked people off the cliff this song and dear mom can change people lives
Your kindness, light, and talents continue to amaze me, Ky. Just watched this video for the first time. SO well written, performed, directed, and edited. Really good stuff here. The epilogue is perfect. Keep on being you.
i have been dealing with depression since i was 9 years old and im now 37 and it has been really hard at 75 percent of the time, 25 percent of the time is easy and i am getting help every week for it, this song makes me realize that its not so hard just need more to connect with and to communicate with. This song did make me cry.
I haven't cried this much since i saw the Dear Mom video. You have done it again Ky. This is a very heart felt video that makes people open their eyes to depression and the things that many people go through every day to hide it from others. May god bless you Ky in everything you do. Much love bro ❤💙
WOW KY. Ever since I found you by accident that day with ' Dear Mum '. I have followed you. Even when you appeared in Neighbours. This has to be another one of your best songs that gets you, right in the heart.
I know, you do a lot of your own work on your music videos.
This is brilliant.
Thanks so very much - I never appeared on Neighbours though
Wow! So we'll done! This will help so many to understand a little how Clynical Depression feels, and will help young people identify what they are going through and know they are not alone!
This song hits deep every time I hear it. I'm only 16 and have lost 4 people I knew to suice and seen many friends suffer with depression and self harm.
Ky, voz abencoada por Deus, me encanta te ouvir, é uma alegria lembrar seus vídeos dançando e cantando. Hoje sou deficiente visual, mas agradeco por ter talento novo como você. Parabéns , menino lindo.
KY TENHO 62 ANOS E 18 VIVENDO EM DEPRESSÃO, NÃO DÊ IMPORTANCIAS ÀS COISAS QUE NÃO TE LEVAM PRA FRENTE ELA A DEPRESSÃO CHEGA SUTILMENTE E QUANDO VC SE DA CONTA JA INVADIU TODO TEU SER .VC TEM UM TALENTE GENUINO,NATO,JOVEM LINDO ,CANTA COM A ALMA E NOS TRÁS A TODOS QUE TE OUVE UMA IMENSA FELICIDADE MAIS EU NÃO QUERO QUE PENSE EM NÓS DESEJO DO FUNDO DO CORAÇÃO ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ QUE DEUS E O ESPÍRITO SANTO ALCANCE TUA ALMA E ENCHA DE CONTENTAMENTO E FELICIDADE TE AMO DESDE O PRIMEIRO MOMENTO QUE ASSISTIR SEU VIDEO VIVA A VIDA COM FELICIDADE CONTINUE ESTE TRABALHO LINDO QUE VCS FAZEM E QUE ESTE TRABALHO SEJA RECONHECIDO E VCS SE TORNEM FAMOSOS PELOS SEUS PRÓPRIOS MÉRITOS VCS MERECEM VC MERECE FAÇA ISSO POR VC CONTINUE NOS ALEGRANDO COM O TALENTO DE VCS BJS NO TEU CORAÇÃO 💓❤️💋❤️ CONTO COM ISSO EU SOU DE SALVADOR-BAHIA-BRASIL
That is amazing. Yes, there are many people all over the world suffering from depression. Exspecially younger ones. Keep on talking about! ❤❤❤👍💯💯💯
Surround yourself with positive light.
you never fail to amaze me Ky. thank you so much for this.
You are wise beyond, way beyond your years. This is a profound message for anyone. Thank you.
Wow KY! You are really awake & all kinds of beautiful inside. Thank you for giving of yourself to people your age. It's a rough time in the world. It was much easier when I was a teen over 50 yrs ago.
Maybe we'll see it get better soon. God bless you.
Your song really touched me. So many people feel that depression means that you are just depressed over a certain situation. That couldn't be farther from the truth. I know. I live with depression every single day of my life. And depression is a monster. I'm not able to reach out for the help that I need because I don't have any insurance that will pay for it. So I go to my priest. I don't think he gets it so I continue to look for someone who could identify with me and help me please pray for me I believe in the power of Prayer
Mann i used to watch you when you were a kid,I saw your uptown funk music video and I just checked to see if your still posting,your amazinggg keep on goingg lots of love😙😙😙😙
Still going strong - thanks for checking back in.
Such a good song please sing again. It really has lots of meaning and reminders that we can't always feel happy at all times. And that we all have worries. 💕❣️💕
I’m so sad because I can’t reach out because people will say I’m faking it (it happened before) now I’m struggling even more because of people.. this song omg I live it it’s sad but it has a deep meaning
Beautiful!!!!! Sad, but true.
E muito triste e lindo o que o amor faz 💖 especial Ky baldwin parabéns pela linda canção ❤️
This is a great video to help get the word about depression it is truly a monster. Everyone battling this illness let's ALL keep fighting. I Care ❣️
This is a beautiful song I overlooked this song depression is around the world a lot and it's real I've never suffered with it but it's nice to see a song about this mental health condition 👏👏 this song would of took a lot of creation ❤
Hi Ky I wish there were more young people like you in the world awesome work dude
Very relatable... great song, spot on video, very important message. Thank you, Ky.
Ky, my heart is heavy again. Bringing me to tears. The video and music together is so perfectly executed in terms of real, raw emotions and what it's like for someone with depression and the people around them, who see them every day. This hits close to home because I've nearly lost my closest friends to depression and although I've never had depression, I have had been in similar situations that made me believe I would never make it to 18. Adding onto that, someone from my school took their own life on campus during school hours and we all had to walk around the scene after school, and although it's been more than half a year, I still think about it a lot. During the scenes where the friends of the main character in this MV go to school without her, that really brought me to become teary because the day after it happened at school, everyone wore black to school the next day, and there was a lot unease in the air, and teachers and students crying. Although we had talks at school, a memorial and councelling etc, we had to continue our studies at school knowing that person isn't with us anymore and that their life literally ended near us, and it was just really hard. And I remember, everyone at the school environment was just not the same again.
It's never an easy subject to talk about, but it's always important to check in and care for the people around us before it's too late. The music video captures the emotions really well, especially the more emotional parts of the song + your acting, Ky. Thank you
This song is so profound...
I can see your beautiful heart as you sing this song. You are a Great Composer of songs and you have a Big Compassionate heart too as you use your songs to reach out to people. You have great inspiring message and empathy which I truly appreciate !
I am so happy to have come across your channel and to know you through YT.
I Love all your original songs and cover songs and your beautiful personality..
God bless you always, Ky..
May God grant you the desires of your heart and every success in your music journey...especially your coming concerts in LA.
All the BEST to You, KY !!!
Sending you lots of ❤❤💕
Just finding you tonight in your love for me year 12-31-23. What an amazing song. It broke my heart b but the message is beautiful!
