U can listen to my most recent recording of this song here (best recording in my opinion): cavetown.bandc...
....,..,Or the original version here: cavetown.bandc...
Lyrics:
What's it like to be alone on a sunday
Remembering the time you saw them just yesterday
Sing me a song, tell me your thoughts
I could listen to you all night long
And I don't care about my sleeping routine
I fucked it up as it is but we've got so much time to kill
As the night rocks me to sleep
Life's too short to worry about things that we got wrong
So hug all your friends and let them know you're not letting go
No I won't let go oh-oh
Remember when we felt like animations
And didn't need A-grades for self validation
Tell me about the things that you love
The world simply needs more affection 'cus
I don't care about what people think of me
I'm fucked up as it is but we've got so much time to kill
and so many things to see
Life's too short to worry about things that we got wrong
So hug all your friends and let them know you're not letting go
No I won't let go oh-oh
You don't know what it's like to be nothing at all
When the night turns cold my thoughts feel like stone
And it's nothing I can't change
But I can't breathe anymore I forgot how to walk by myself
I could do with a little more of your help
Life's too short to worry about things that we got wrong
So hug all your friends and let them know you're not letting go
I'm not letting go
Life's too short to worry about things that we got wrong
So hug all your friends and let them know you're not letting go
No I won't let go oh-oh

Robbie's so talented, he can whistle with his mouth closed
this deserves more than seven likes
RunawayKitsune now it’s got 42. still deserves more.
lol i’m sad no now it’s 65 likes...still deserve more
69 *nice*
At first I didn't know what you were talking about and when it came to that part I just laughed so hard
"When we didn't need A grades or self-validation" That really hit me
Every line in this song hits me! But I can relate, because i have problems with perfectionism rooted in my anxiety disorder and I can relate to you
Bro I always needed to have A's and and self validation
its a grades for validation not or validation lol
oh sh- when i first listened to this i didn't understand this, but now 2 years later, i relate so much wtf
I feel you on a physical level, when I first listen to this song I didnt get it because the video speed it up so it kinda felt like fast mumbling but when I listened to the regular version I was just stunned, I felt like what he was portraying and I though he was speaking to me, it's odd isnt it?
a precious boy
Paige. e :,)
yes... boy...
Teletubby mom :’) ❤️
Anna Leigh Yes, boy. Hes a boy.
Very precious boy
I had a heart attack when I found out you were 20, I still feel like you’re the 16 year old I found when I was so depressed and hopeless. your little red hair made me happier.
Wow I didn’t know he was 20!
He’s turning 22 in December :)

Well when this song was recorded he was like 17
this song makes me cry so hard
a few days ago, I saw my favorite(and frankly only)friend walk into the bathroom after class. I actually went to quickly talk to him (he is transgender but the school makes him use the girl's bathroom, and I had to go to the bathroom too) since we don't have any classes together. I ran in after him, and when I walked in, my world crashed down. He had one leg swung out the open window, getting ready to jump. It was two stories, he wouldn't even die. I grabbed him, wrapping my arms around his torso and dragging him back. I screamed for help, while he kicked and struggled. I don't know where in my weak body that strength came from, but I guess it was adrenaline. A teacher came running, and called the police and my friend's parents. The teacher shut and locked the windows and told me to watch my friend while the she ran to get help. After she was gone, my friend cried and pushed me over. He screamed at me, "What the hell? Why did you do that? Do you not want me to be happy? Fuck you! I thought you wanted me to be happy! I hate you!"
The rest of it is kinda fuzzy. All I know is that he is in a mental hospital somewhere, and that I'm not allowed to know. I also know he will never come back to school, and that we'll probably never meet again. I was in a state of shock for a while.
The lyrics "So hug all your friends and let them know, you're not letting go. No, I won't let go." always makes me cry. In that moment, I didn't know I was crying. I didn't feel my legs and arms being hit repeatedly, all I knew in that moment was "don't let go, don't let go, don't let go..."
And now I am left with bruises, an aching heart, and the nagging feeling that I could've have done something sooner. I knew he was depressed, but I never knew what to do. And now guilt is eating away at me. I miss him a lot.
But it also brings about some kind of weird fuzzy feeling. You voice and playing go so well together, and even with a song that is kinda dark like this one, it feels so welcoming and friendly. Cavetown, this song is my home.
hey, i know your pain man. let’s be friends. if you ever needa talk ima always be here. i’m here 💗
You did the right thing. Having suicidal friends can be really hard, because you want so badly to save them when they don’t want to be saved. It’s really hard. I’m a trans guy myself, and I would’ve really appreciated if someone had done that for me. Even if he isn’t thankful now, even if you never see him again, you’ve helped someone have a chance to have a full, wonderful life.
A K this story made me cry im not even kidding
People comment "im in tears" sometimes, and yeah they might be but usually are lying
I will promise you that you did something good and you saved someone, and im sure that one day they will thank you, even if its not in real life, but of its in your heart. You are a good person. ❤
I’m literally sitting here in tears. You did the right thing and you saved their life. Don’t keep yourself down because if it wasn’t for you they might not be here. You did an amazing thing.❤️❤️
I cried reading this😭
"i'm not letting go"
this line makes me really sad.
it reminds me of someone important
is lint ur actual name?
If not...
haha lint
This line for me is something bad
It reminds me of abandonment
I didnt know that another one of my favourite youtubers would be here wow
lint ⭒ I know knows you hav 666 likes we going to die! Hug all it friends
why is he so underrated he's so talented and amazing
Edit: oh geez thanks for the likes
IKr!!
Your pfp is amazing also ik
rawr much likes thanks +i liked my own comment haha im a person congratulations you're also a person or a dog idk i dont judge
My friend is aro, and she gets really sad about it sometimes. She said she feels like she is missing out on everyone and everything. She feels like she has no love inside her anywhere, and she is often shy and secluded and I am her only friend. So I did a piano cover of this song, (I can sing pretty well) and I sent it to her when she was feeling down. Just the simple few lines ”lifes to short to worry about things we did wrong so hug all your friends, and let them know you're not letting go” meant so, so much to her. She's a happier person, and she is feeling so much better about being herself. She learned the harmony parts, so we sing together. ❤️
Okay so I cried ... bcz that’s how i felt for the longest time except non of my friends gave a shit ...
A useless potato v1.6 aro (aromantic) means that she doesn’t feel romantic attraction to other people
Kidz with Bugz thank you. Thank you for making your friend feel better. Thank you for being a good person
Kidz with Bugz hey um how do u get the tutorial on piano?
Often I, too, am upset that I cannot fall in love. It’s so cool that you did this for your friend!
SOMEONE FOR GODS SAKE MAKE THIS BOI FAMOUS
Working on it
The thing is if he BECOMES fabulous he will have a management team and maybe his original music won't stay the same. Because management people are quite cruel and once you sign contracts you can't do anythong;-; so i kinda want him to be the same as he is now and not be famous
Enigma. Agreed
I AGREE
@@inmiddleofsomewhere2455 Make him youtube famous

Have a wonderful day or night and know you are loved. ❤️

helena e thank you. My heart is melting 😭😁
Thank you kind person. I shall give you a hug as well. ☺️❤️❤️
helena e 🤗
Thanks
this song makes me cry every time I listen to it. my best friend has tried to commit suicide three times. she doesn’t realize how much she means to me, if she wasn’t here, I wouldn’t be here either. sometimes I just go up to her and give her the biggest hug because of this song because of how much I love her and how much she means to me. she’s getting better, and hasn’t committed or self harmed in a while. thank you.
livin the tøp life that’s amazing, haha it’s a hard thing to do, I hope your all doing well. You did a good thing, sticking by her. Ive has a couple friends in that situation, and I myself have and am in that situation. It’s hard, but I have my friends there for me, makes it worth living. So thank you, for sticking with her through that.
clique:):)
How is she and you guys' relationship now? (if you don't mind me asking!)
It's really hard to get out of stuff like that I'm proud of you for being there for her and km proud of her. You're not alone and she isnt either.
Ayyy new replies I hope s/he sees this
Hi, yo I'm Christine and I smell things and hear colours when I listen to music or certain things. It's called Synesthesia and it's pretty cool. Your voice is like a pale green and it smells like citrus, which is pretty cool. I like your music a lot and it's very relaxing, along with the lyrics to most of your songs being either relatable or sad or upbeat and I love that. You're pretty cool!
Lizbeth Idc ... pretty cool...
Oh my god. For you he is an actual lemon boy!
Lizbeth Idc wait you can do that too?! oh thank god i thought i was crazy 😂 but you’re right, his voice does smell like citrus
Lizbeth Idc really?i was getting a warm yellow color :/

im doin it
he is perfect to play minecraft
i have been listening to probably 5 or 8 songs of him
and didnt realise the time pass
I just wanted to let you know:
The first time I heard this song was when this video was uploaded and I was in 8th grade
I’m in 11th grade now and a lovely girl brought her ukulele to school and was playing this song (just the chords) and I had a huge flashback to when I listened to this song when I needed love
Now my best friend is hurting and I’m able to send this to him. That’s huge Robbie and that means the world to me
I know this comment is a little old, so I’m not sure how old you are now, but it’s crazy how fast time flies. This video was uploaded when I was in 6th grade and now I’m heading into senior year
I wanna hug all my friends now
A M E L I A same
Same
same tho
Same
i just need a hug
the bridge in this song is quite possibly my favorite piece of art that's ever existed.
Ugh right?? Its so emotional and accurate for everyone. Everyone can or has related to those lyrics in their life. How powerful
Your voice sounds like a pastel yellow clashing with a creamy red colour. Don't ask how, but to me it does.
I get what you're saying.
i imagined it as pastel.. citrus colors almost? (orange, yellow, green)
C0rbinIsABean I think it sounds like a pale yellow. It’s such a pretty color
It sounds like peppermint tea with something citrus-y to me.
woah
HE CHANGED THE LYRICS FROM "YOU DONT KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE" TO "I KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE" BRB IMGONNA GO CRY
you can see the pain in his eyes
wow

As a person who hasn't hugged a person in about... 3 years?? (at least willingly), this guy, Robin, has made hugging sound not so gross as it used to before, for me.
Thanks cavetown 😊
hey so here's a story. I have Bluetooth earphones and I was sitting on the tube and I decided to jam out to this song. So I got my phone out and put it on (just as I arrived at the station). i walked out right into the middle of a busy London station and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't hear the music; so I turned up the volume to full but I could only hear it really quietly. i decided I'd figure it out later and rushed off to my next train. A few minutes later, I tried to figure out what was wrong with my headphones. I soon realised that my Bluetooth was switched off, and I had played this whole song on my iPhone speaker at full volume. In the middle of a London station and on a tube. U can tell it's a damn good song, because I didn't get punched in the face.
Meik hacke it was very embarrassing afterwards! I'm glad no one confronted me. I thought it made a fun story anyway :D
jade ONE OF MY FAVORITE COMMENTS
Same thing happened to me though
same thing happened to me when i was little with adele everyone was staring at me XD
jade same thing happened to me but in class..!!!
My Chemical Romance: kill all your friends
Robin: hug all ur friends
My Chemical Romance: n- no it's
Robin: _hug all ur friends_
My Chemical romance (crying): *ok*
HA
It's really cute *.*
Is all the members of the band crying?
This makes my brain go :)
YEA
I see this song kinda differently I guess. My best friend passed away in 2016, she committed suicide. To me this song reminds me to hug my friends because you never know what could come next. It reminds me to always appreciate the people in my life and make sure they know I'm there for them. I never want what happened before to happen again.
So to everyone out there reading this remeber to give the people in your life a hug, you never know how much they need it, or what such a simple gesture can do. Maybe you'll save a life.
-Mary- I’m so so sorry for your loss, I had a friend who tried.. not too long ago. I known her for about 5 years at the time. We weren’t close but I liked her, she meant the world to me. She started texting me telling me it wasn’t worth it, all that Jazz. And then she started apologizing. I started freaking out, and it didn’t help I was in the middle of Walmart. I didn’t know what to do, it was scary. A hour later she texted me again, she tried to overdose. But her mom walked in on her and took her to the hospital. Ive has a couple of friends who have been suicidal. Heck I myself have been. So I’m really sorry for your loss, it’s hard. But I hope your doing well now,
I’m so sorry to hear about this, but it seems like you’re such a strong person. I hope you feel better💕
I'm so sorry for your loss, and your message to spread love and prevent this tragedy from happening to others is inspiring
hey i'm a year late but, i hope you're doing ok. if you need it, here's a virtual hug.
This made me sad but it all happens one day we will all pass on one day Rip to her
Thanks for this - I lost my two best friends last summer and I've spent all of this year trying to make new friends.
But as high school is, I haven't succeeded. I've been thinking lately how much I need someone next to me, someone to talk and laugh with, someone to hug.
This song feels like a hug, the kind of hug that is like a warm sweater on a cold winter's day.
I really appreciate this. I needed this. Thank you, friend.
I will listen to this when I feel the need for a hug, which is quite often. I'll memorize this and sing it when I need it. You are a truly inspirational human.
Thank you.
hug :3
I can relate
This is so cute awh.
hey u have people around u. on the internet. you have us :) we care about you. we are like ur fren
faun this hurt to read because I'm in the same situation pal, almost exactly the same actually. I sincerely hope things get better for you, friend
Cant listen without tearing up. Such a great song.
Blue Hair Animations I know it’s impossible
Same

Blue Hair Animations same I start tearing up at the part where it says”I won’t let go” .-. But my closet friend did:(
I dont have a heart but I love this song
younger Robbie was seriously something else
i let out a tear because his voice is so pretty and he’s pretty and just kskskskkskks
;dream queen; what is a ksksksksksksks
@@sirknightproductions a laugh
Awww I love young emo Robin, it reminds how far you've come and how much you've changed. It makes me kinda sentimental in a way.
I discovered this song while I was sleeping, it came on itself as I was watching dodie videos before. I’ve been in the darkest place for the past few years and I’m at my worst point right now, I somehow woke up when your song was playing and it was so soothing I didn’t felt such a calm feeling in a long long time it made me cry so much as I didn’t thought I could ever feel like that ever again. Thank you so much, you convey emotions like no others.
* hugs *
Life’s to short so worry about things we’ve done wrong so hug all your friends and let them know you won’t let them go
:)
Me in 2020: hmmmm I don’t know If I should really hug my friends......
XD
But only if your isolating with them
yes
I don’t give a fuck I’m hUGGING THOSE BITCHES
you must hug the homies. quarantine or not, you must hug the homies
I'm so happy you posted this song in particular, it made me feel comforted when I was alone at three am, fretting over why I was so depressed. "I won't let go" It was a call to arms for me. A declaration that I could keep pulling through. Every message that every line of these lyrics makes me so ready to live that i could cry. I have to say, Robin, I love you very much for helping me. Thank you so very much for this song.
stay strong c: I understand how you feel
+Joseph Silipino
+cavetown
cavetown Robin, I couldn't thank you enough. Like Joseph I tackled depression and nasty thoughts because of some kid at school who would bully me and such. One night I was scrolling through RUclips and found this video and watched it. I later subscribed. You helped me through all of the hard times with everything; you're funny, smart and amazingly talented. I know you will and already have done really well for yourself and I was here with you from the beginning. Thank you
thank.you.so.damn.much. this has already got me through a ton of SH!T and I just found out about you. so thank you for being a darn beautiful human.💞
HEY YOU PRECIOUS PERSON SCROLLING IN THE COMMENTS, if you're hurting right now, and coming to the song for a peaceful state of mind you've come to the right place. Also know if you feel you need it, don't be afraid to get help. I'll virtually hug you if you need it. I'll be your friend if you need it! I'LL HUG YOU. This song kind makes me wanna cry cause in the mind of a person who can relate as the person who needs a hug, I know how it feels so here's a hug *hug*.
Burnt Orange hi person you’re very great and you cheered me up. Message me
this made me cry. i love this and you stranger
...free friendz?????
oh my good lord i needed that so much
Ur such a sweet person if only I knew more people like this
Anybody who disliked this was just mad because their faces got soaked in tears.
Pun4fun I bet they got so much tears on their face that they accidentally tapped on the dislike rather than the like
Does anyone else notice how, when Robbie remakes an older song, he often uses his younger voice as harmonies. An example of this is in the new version of hug all ur friends (after the bridge)
Yeah he did it in fool as well
Why isn’t this song on Spotify?
Probably because it makes you cry of how beautiful it is. It’s really funny because right after I listened to this song I went to school listening to it again and, well I cried again. My friend Quinn noticed and he hugged me. Want to know why? Because when he was sitting next to me, he could hear the song in my headphones. So do what the song says and hug all your friends!
Oh my God, that's adorable ♡
@@urmum3281 IKR they need to put this on spotify
its on spotify now! he released a new version
i tried that
they all yelled at me
some boy just sang this for our talent show for 500 people
i like that boy
Give him a hug for me to, and say it’s from someone who loves him.
Even though I don’t know him, he needs love and I’m going to give it to him even if he doesn’t want it. :)
Marry him now
If you don’t I will
So during the summer, my best friend and I have a 1-week sleepover, but this time, since her parents were out of town she was allowed to stay for 2 weeks. And during those weeks, our other friends and my cousions came over. Anyways, after she left, I was lonely and sad and this song came up and I felt it perfectly described my situation.
"Whats it like to be alone on a Sunday? Remembering the times, you saw them just yesterday" She left on Saturday, and Sunday I was just overwhelmingly sad.
"Sing me a song, tell me your thoughts, I could listen to you all night long. I don't care about my sleeping routine, I fucked it up as it is, but we've got so much time to kill and so many things to see" At night we would just lie in bed talking for hours, making up stories. I threw off my sleeping schedule, going to bed at 4 a.m. and waking up at 9 a.m.
"Remember when we felt like animations, and didn't need A grades for self validation. Tell me about the things that you love, the world simply needs more affection 'cause" I remember when we met in the 4th grade, everything was about t.v shows and worrying if our crushes didn't like us back; now were are so stressed out from high school, and worried about if were going to raped and killed in the streets. Everything revolves around grades and intelligence, I want to go back to when we were younger.
"You don't know what it's like to be nothing at all. When the night turns cold my thoughts feel like stone, and it's nothing I can't change, but I can't breathe anymore I forgot how to walk by myself, I could do with a little more of your help" I have from anxiety and depression, and after years of knowing and suffering alone, I finally reached out to my best friends for help, slowly I am getting better. I am glad I have the friends I do.
This comment was stupidly long, but I just wanted to get it out there. I love your music Robbie, I think it's amazing, and it's great how much I can relate to your songs.
Our parents allowed us to have another week long sleepover for winter break and she just left a few minutes ago.
Recently I moved away and now we dont see each other ever day at school. Its sunday today and ive come back again to listen to this song.
During break i met with some other close friends and _god I miss them so much._ Things have been going wrong recently and it is so hard just to keep living, I want to end it all so much. The only thing keeping me going is my friends, their support and love is one of the only reasons im still alive.
I still relate to this song, more in fact, than i did before. My depression and anxiety is getting worse, but ill be okay as long as my friends are here.
Again, this is pointlessly long, its stupid, I know, I just wanted to get this out. Hug all your friends, and let them know youre not letting go.
I know I’m late but stay strong!! Your will to carry on has inspired me to carry on aswell. You and your friends seem so strong (mentally) and I hope life gets better soon!!
Have a wonderful day!!
Hope you're doing well at this moment :) * hugs *
Hey yall, its me again. Nobody is reading this, i know, but I just wanted to update.
Another summer, another sleepover. I am alone again, feeling pensive and a little melancholy, but its okay.
My friend stayed for a week again, and I also had a new friend sleepover, the new one is from my new school. Their sleepovers were back to back, they crossed over in fact, so one of my best friend met another best friend for the first time.
I think we had fun, I cant really tell. I had fun but I am so worried i messed up and they didnt enjoy it, but I am looking for the positives, so i am going to believe that they did
School is starting again soon, and were getting older, ive been taking college classes all summer and so have my friends. I am grateful for the opportunities but i wish we had the chance to be kids. Worried about school, worried about the future, but ive got my people with me, and theyll always be by my side.
My anxiety is getting worse, and my depression is still here, but ill be okay. Im still holding on, ive still got my friends. Im here and Ill stay here.
Thats all for now guys, im sleep deprived and lonely, but ive made so many memories, and ive had so much fun. Turns out life isnt so bad, after all.
Hug all your friends please, you never know what you might mean to them.
Gaby L hey, you’ve got at least one person still here reading this. It’s sweet, and I hope you and your friends are all doing well! Friends will always matter, and it’s good to have people in your life that make memories with you! Enjoy the sleepovers with friends, it’s tougher to make time for that in the future, and in some ways it’s easier than ever, but never forget to make the most of every second!
is it just me or this would be a perfect soundtrack to the episode of winnie the pooh saying goodbye to christopher robin...
i may be overthinking this lol
jujuba de menta ohmygod you’re so right and now i’m sad again

No your not overthinking it, but I'm pretty sure everyone reading this comment (Including myself) is bawling their eyes out because that was a sad episode
omg yes they even have the same name omg
I just had my 2nd annual Christmas party with lovely people who I see as family then just friends and I cried after the party was over because these people mean the world to me. We have anxiety,depression,confusion,family problems, and we are there for each other every step of the way. I've been playing uku for a year now and I love poetry and this summer I'm going to sit down and try to make a song out of a piece that I wrote my freshmen year which was a difficult year for me and reading it now as a sophomore I can see how I've changed since I wrote it. You are a dime lovely lovely song.
+Kaylie Noreen Im so glad u have loving people around u :)) Good luck with ur song
+cavetown can I have you
i hope your song turned out well
ayumi noreen the problem with my family is that I'm not close with ANY of my family. I only get to see some of my family once or twice even though they live near me ;-;

*"you don't know what it's like to be nothing at all"* is not a lyric I would expect to relate to this much 💔

Steele I'm very confused, what's bothering you?
Awesome for you dude!
*TRIGGER WARNING*
When I stared listening to you I was in abusive relationships where ever I went. home was a mess and at school my friends were horrible; casually homophobic, making fun of my weight, always making sure to leave me out of things, and overall just mean to me. The lyric "hug all your friends" just didn't make sense. My friends didn't even want me to touch them let alone hug them.
I was close to taking my own life. In fact, I tried. I was sent to the hospital for a week where I met my current best friend.
Listening to your older music made me remember how we met and this song in particular now makes sense to me.
Love you Oli.
LYRICS:
what’s it like to be alone on a sunday?
remembering the time, you saw them just yesterday
sing me a song, tell me your thoughts
i could listen to you all night long
and i don’t care about my sleeping routine
i fucked it up at it is,
but we’ve got so much time to kill
tonight rocks me to sleep
life’s too short, to worry about things we got wrong
so hug all your friends,
let them know you’re not letting go
no i won’t let go
remember when we felt like animation?
didn’t need A grades, for self validation
tell me about the things that you love
the world simply needs more affection cause
i don’t care about what people think of me
i’m fucked up as it is, but we’ve got so much time to kill and so many things to see
life’s too short to worry about things that we’ve got wrong
so hug all your friends, let them know you’re not letting go,
no i won’t let go
you don’t know what it’s like to be nothings at all,
when the night turns cold and my heart feels like stone
and it’s nothing i can’t change but i can’t breathe anymore
i forgot how to walk by myself
i could do with a little more of your help
life’s too short to worry about things that we got wrong
so hug all your friends
let them know you’re not letting go
i am not letting go
life’s too short to worry about things that we got wrong
so hug all your friends
let them know you’re not letting go
no i won’t let go
thx
i have a lot of online friends. when i listen to this it makes me a bit sad when i realize i can't hug all my friends. ):
I can actually relate to this a lot... I tried meeting one a few weeks ago when they visited a city near me but, they ended up not being able to come ;-; so yeah. i feel ya
gwenhasnofrens same ;-;
Same.
U relate duddee, my best friends 1,779 miles away from me :/

i cri, my crush sang this on stage for valentines day. my fav song
I though this was going to be a funny little joke song, but omG WHO HURT YOU???? Oh my gosh this song brought out so many emotions and reminded me of why I am who I am today. Dude you really need to keep up the great work! Thank you, and have a great day
I know I'm probably late to this, but my friend Jess was on the phone with me and she told me that she wouldn't be around if I hadn't met her. I asked what she had meant and she said that in the 1st grade(the year we met) she was going to hang herself cuz of her abusive dad, and then she met me and I had provided a source of light in her life.
im on my moms account and if any body says that try to help more
Please don't ever let go of her. Tell her she's loved and I'm sending you both all the hugs I can sent. I really hope you're both doing well.
@@notafailure2138 update, when school started back, we became friends again, but it didn't feel the same, we drifted apart and now we both ignore the others existence, not out of hatred, but to not get reattached. We didn't work out as friends, but while we were friends, it was nice.
im gna cry
hi so i normally don't comment on things in fear of sounding stupid, but i really really really REALLY resonate with the lyrics of this song and you sure as heck play and sing it beautifully. it's the best thing i've ever heard in my life. you're probably not going to see this, but if you do- i want you to know how much you've impacted my life despite me not knowing you personally or you not even knowing me at all. but, robin; dude, watching your videos and listening to you play your uke or guitar or talk about your adorable chameleon-- that's the highlight of my day everytime i sit down to watch your videos. like, honestly- i can't explain how much you mean to me, let alonehow much this wonderful song means to me... let alone how much ALL your songs and covers mean to me.. seriously, keep being your awesome self and i swear it: you'll continue making people like me or even people not like me or even animals like my dog luke skybarker happy beyond our ability to be happy. (seriously my dog smiles and is so calm and relaxed whenever i'm jammin out to your music and he's layin round the house) this doesn't make sense but it's almost two a.m. forgive me ha.. thank you cavetown
+zari zeppelin wowow im not cavetown obviously but pal u dont sound stupid!! im sure u've got rlly gr8 things to say n ur comment was so nice ah i dont know dont be afraid to speak ur mind its a really lovely mind
+Malea Moon jjesus thank you so much
Xari Xeppelin same
I always come back to this vid once in a while. This song always makes me cry cause I wish I had friends that I really can care about. Most of the people around me are fake but hopefully one day I'll find people who I can love. This song is a true gem, thank you c:
I just have one true friend, but I can relate to this
Same here. I've lost a lot of "friends" in the past 2 years and I only have one who I really trust, and he's leaving for college soon :/ here's to finding good friends in the hopefully not too distant future!!
I haven't had a single friend for years :( But sometimes, it's not that bad. I'm usually a pretty pessimistic person, but this is one of the things i'm optimistic about. To good friends in the future!
+awesomeface435
To good friends in the future!
Your life seems so much better than mine. All my friends usually stab me in the back or just bot talk to me for a few days, hell, maybe even a week.
then there not friends
that kiss at the end OMG 😭💚
ketchup gal almost 300 likes and no replies... how?!
That was a kiss? I thought he was clicking his tongue 😛 XD

StrawberryMint Hey mint it’s me mint
I knowwwww it was so cute aw
"You don't know what is like to be nothing at all" this line hit really close to home, everyone else has something going on in their life, while I'm here just wandering aimless through life with little to nothing holding to it
i just found this guy and hes the purest living boy ive ever seen
Listening to you, is honestly like a nice cold rainy evening hurdled up in the corner with a cozy blanket, relaxing candle scents and a nice warm mug of tea
Hurdled? Huddled? Ahh English one of the great things. I forgot how to spell so that's great
LaraisLame mood
this is such a nice song wtf????
this was me when I first listened to this song
ngl, I cried at 1 am when I was trying to go to sleep last night. I love it so much
mia I sent it to my best friend and she wouldn't stop hugging me the next day xD
My best friend is very toxic, but I got so attached to her that I can't let go. I tried, but it didn't go well. And now this is my top song to listen to when I need to be comforted. . So thank you :,)
I’m sorry that that happened to you. I’m in a similar situation, with my friend, who I absolutely love, isolatated me from my other friends, and made me feel so shitty. I can’t seem to get away from her. Could you possibly give an update?
were you able to let go? it's gonna be okay, i promise
im in a very similar situation im pretty sure she doesnt really care about me and i have valid reason to think so but i dont want to accuse her and then offend her because she might actually care about me
I have lost a friend, bc of a huge mistake i made.. by telling her we don't match and should separate...
Now i miss her and cry when u think of my old friend..
I'm not the closest to her anymore and this song hurts me a lot. Bc i wanna hug her but can't anymore
Robin has helped me through breakdowns so much. He deserves so many many more views, like, and subscribers. He's just such an amazing guy.
I've literally was listening to music on autoplay and I'm not really paying attention to what I'm listening to and I suddenly go like, "What is that beautiful sound I'm hearing?" Turns out this song came on. Very first time I've ever heard of this guy. Already subscribed.
I've gone to the same school my entire life, and my mum just told me I'm transferring next year. When I heard this song I fell on the ground, stared up at the stars, and started crying. A day later I sent this to my friends we hugged for a very long time and now we cherish every moment together.
He says hug all your friends... but I sit here crying clenching onto a tahered year book...
Kylee Johnson same here!!!
Kylee Johnson :p me except it’s my phone. It has photos of them :)
Same here ;_;
I hug a stuffed elephant
I know the feeling
Why can't I like this more than once?? Your voice is breathtaking, the soul you sing with cute and adorable and very moving. I wanna cry but I'm smiling . I appreciate this so much...It's like the gentleness of your voice slowly wraps around you in the melody and seeps through you tangling your heart and moving you in ways you've never been moved before. I only just discovered you today from your Slowtown cover and then found out you make original songs too and this was my first. Honestly, I was blown away. So blown away that I just got addicted and couldn't stop listening. I've had it on a loop for about and hour and a half now. Listening to it now actually. Thank you! Thank you for sharing your talent, your music and your great and adorable personality! Thank you!
WAIT HE COVERED SLOWTOWN I GOTTA FIND THIS
oh the harmonies in this... The harmonies, Robin they're KILLING ME. x
Yes
I wish this version was on Spotify
same
I can hear this in a poignant part of a film, a montage showing lots of different characters going about their lives, missing each other and reflecting and whatnot :3
I feel like you're going to get big someday and I honestly can't wait for that because more people should know about your music
idek what my life is hello joji fan
He’s growing :’)
This song means so much to me.
THAT LITTLE CAMERA SMOOCH AT THE END WAS EVERYTHING I-
not long ago i had a good many friends. i had gotten used to it and very dependent on it. recently, i've drifted away from most of them. i find myself only seeing three or less people that really like to be around me. i am very grateful for the people left, but i am very sad that i couldn't just keep those other people in my life. it's gotten to a point where my friends left are concerned for me because they fear i may do something bad. this song means a lot to me right now. i need to appreciate what i have while i have it.
I feel the same way. Recently as I'm writing this, I feel like I'm seeing my friends less and less, and started to miss all the friends who've been close as silly as it sounds. Sometimes I'm afriad that I'll lose my current friends and that they will drift away, and I tend to be attached. I know that it happens but the thought of it doesn't hurt any less. But I'm trying to stay positive and not to think about it too much. Well, here's a story from a stranger to go with your story in this comment chain. Anyways, well um, I think I'm gonna leave it here. Um, thanks for reading if ya do. Byee
when you want to relate to this song but you have no friend
yo i'll be your friend
lololol I'm not good at making frens and I'm super awkward but thanks I will just live under my rock heretwentyonepentatonix's
lol same:')
I'll b ur fren
March 22 i will be ur friend ok 💚
Your voice makes me want to cuddle and eat cookies :))
You said you wanna cuddle?
I'll cuddle ^-^
I heard cookies
when i found this song, i was 15 and had just been pulled out of school and cut off from everyone i loved. i wasn’t allowed to have friends, and i wish that was an exaggeration. when i found this song, i remember crying. ugly sobbing in my room that had no door, wishing i could’ve hugged my friends before i got taken away. i listened to it over and over again, always finding comfort in the idea of hugging my friends again. listening to it three years later, i’m reminded that things do get better. i hug the people i love every day, and i’m so lucky i get to do so. it reminds me to never take it for granted again. this song got me through so much, and i’m glad it has so much importance to so many other people. it gets better, guys. really. stay strong. ❤️
When I was 14 my parents found out I was trans. They took away my phone so I wasnt able to call anyone and I wasnt aloud to talk to my best friend. My mom asked my teachers to notify her if I tried to use a different name. My school counsiler outed me after I told my band director. My science teacher told me about the gsa. I went a few times but the kids there were stuck up and obbsessed with theirselves. Eventually, I got my best friend back (my phone too but thats not as important). Its getting better but i've still got a long way to go and am still only 16. I wish I were an adult so I could be completely independent.
Remy Steeves i’m sorry hun, i know how damaging that can be, but i’m proud of you. if you ever need someone to talk to, i’m more than open to being there for you :)
A really good friend of mine just left for college and I didn't think id miss her this much. This song made me tear up cuz I miss her so much. She was my world and person to turn to for the past few years and we're really close but since school started shes been too busy to talk. I understand but I just miss her. this reminded me of all the great times weve had.
Thankyou for this song
I would happily be your friend ☺
Let's just appreciate robin for a bit

This is literally my favorite song. I find myself so angry and scared so often it makes me feel sick, but the love in this song comes to me and gently reminds me that I’m not alone and things can be okay.
I always play your songs to make homework and I didn't see your videos tbh but I just notice you blow a kiss at the end and im shook.
I'm in love with a song
...
The other day my best friend of 5 years gave me a letter, it was about her liking me and wanting to be with me. I kinda liked her, so I wrote her a letter back saying I liked her too, and that she was amazing and stuff. Today she gave me 2 more notes, and told me that the letter wasn’t from her
Wolfie Christensen fuck, man, that sucks. :[
I feel so bad =(
Who ever sent that note the first time is getting a broken nose. It might seem a bit extreme, but I don't take screwing with friendships lightly.
Also that really sucks.
Yes I'm aware this is 6 months later.
....
K bai
I got a letter too, thought it was from someone... Cringy situation and I was so very embarassed when I went to talk to her. I never knew anything from the letter person afterwards and I dont think I will
Oof
This is was absolutely beautiful. I’ve been absolutely numb and empty all week and this song is the one thing that made me feel any emotion all week.
i come back to this once a year, it gives me so much nostalgia...
Does this song make anyone else feel depressed? In a good way of course.
It makes me feel that way
but like
when has feeling depressed ever been a good thing
owowowo
Boi idk about feeling sad but happy about it. 🤨
Melancholy, because it reminds me how much time we've waisted but then reminds us it doesn't matter

lmao 😂😂😂
Liam McFarland lolololololololololololololololololol
Liam McFarland. dank memes boi
fuck all your friends should be pt.2
I thought I was the only one
I was at your brighton show and before you played this, you said "if you have a friend with you, give them a hug" but i was alone and a random girl said she would hug me and that made me happy
I've just now discovered your music and I'm so happy I did. Your writing style is beautiful and your voice is so unique. I love this song so much already and I have only heard it once. Thank you for your heart for music. I hope I can overcome my fear of bad writing so that someday my songs will be as poignant as yours. Much love.
Robbie, I know you probably won't read this and it'll get lost in the vast sea of comments, but I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your music. I've lost a lot this year, I've attempted suicide more than twice, and I've been disowned by my parents for being trans non binary. I wasn't done being young. Your music feels like a warm hug after a long day of exhaustion, and I always tear up eventually. I'm only sixteen, I feel like I deserved to be a little happy. And your music kept me alive. I have some wonderful friends who held me through the darkest of days. I rarely write comments, but I felt compelled to do so because today was especially tough, and I miss my friends. This will probably be my last Christmas, and I simply wanted to thank you for your music ♡
i hope ur ok and if ur not, i hope u can get a little more ok.
I hope cavetown reads ur comment, but In case he doesen't, I just wanna let you know. I read it, and maybe I helped with this comment to not let it get drowned in the sea of comments. Im trans too and currently discovered Im Aro, I've had so many bad experiences and so many good ones. I just wanna tell you to please stay alive. Some people wont accept you. But some people will, and some will love you a lot and give you all the love you deserve. I do hope you're still here, if you arent loved now, you will be loved. Stay alive 💖
are you still here?
I always come back to this song.
this song...th this song right here yeah man this song
This is so beautiful gosh I've been waiting for a new video.
