Have you ever had a moment of personal "lost media"? That song you heard once somewhere before it slipped through your grasp. So glad the algorithm brought me back here 😊
I think it's the same for me. This song sounds oddly familiar. It definitely lines up with the kind of stuff I was listening to back then. It's insane to think that 2017 was fully 7 years ago. That only just now registered with me
Yup I had this years and years ago and just kind of thought, "Hazel English why is that so familiar?" Hit play and 10 seconds in I knew it was one of my many lost gems
These images are so thoughtfully put together. On subsequent watches I keep noticing things, like how every time the synthesizer music kicks in, we are presented with a space/high tech type image. I'm pretty sure this was not accidental.
Hanging oneself on the hope and love of someone else is never, ever enough. Thank God for growth and the power of self acceptance. 🙂 Crushing and beautiful song!
The choice of images is so beautiful and melancholic. It makes me think about all those individuals in the 50/60/70/80's who lives with anxiety or depression, and how unexplained and mysterious it must have been for them.
ah, depression was described as "melancholy" before the 20th century, so while the term "depression" only became widespread in the latest part of the 20th century, people in the 50s-80s still had a word for what they were feeling and could probably find peers and books on the subject
People knew what anxiety and depression were, they just used the correct terms like stress, or like you said melancholy, instead of terms doctors and drug companies can use to keep you hooked on them.
I feel like it really supports the song considering what the lyrics point to. Gives it that nostalgic emotional feel that typically goes along with depression and anxiety: "Older times were always better times". Just constantly focused on what was, instead of the present. -Ooooor I'm just reading way to much into it and they just wanted to accompany that sweet synth wave sound.
Bashful Tendency Sorry kid but that world of your will never exist. We Arabs honor our Blacks brothers and sisters. I pray that you wake up. نحن نحب إخواننا وأخواتنا
Love this song and the images. This is so far from my normal favorite types of music (metalcore, punk, alternative etc) but this is just flat out beautiful. Thanks to Hazel and the youtube algorithms for bringing me this experience.
Yes. That feeling. When nothing really matters. Life is dull. And in worst case scenario, you feel empty. The only way I found out to sort of ignore (not fix) this feeling/state is to divert your mind away from those thoughts. Dive into life. Do whatever passes time. Keep yourself busy with things that probably don't matter (because nothing does). Embrace your existential worldview. We create our own purpose and meaning. This sort of process helped me to a bit. I get less depressed. Still think about life a lot though.
xMacdxl Same here. Really getting into Depth Psychology. Getting high and wasting time. Feels sort of like a band aid though. Another year from now, when I poke my heads out of the clouds long enough to see the sad state I’ve lead myself into, I might once again become inclined to end everything. I hope not. We’ll see.
Ignas I hope not too. Create that purpose for yourself though. You are the one in control. As sad as the world can be sometimes there are good moments. Leave a positive trace in this world (as little as that trace may be). I am going to paraphrase Aristotle: "Regardless of the individual, the ultimate purpose is to achieve ultimate happiness. To achieve it, one needs to lead a happy life. And to lead a happy life one has to actually live. Live in the present moment. Only when that moment is not means to another moment/goal/event can all of this happen. Once that happens for you, life will present itself as ultimate happiness."
The video itself is certainly a testament to late 20th Century publishing, particularly American periodicals, the power of media in print from the 60's to the 80's is soaked in artistry & technical craft. It presents an idealized yet relatable past or future that is held in a "yet to be/once was" status. This music makes the sense of longing weirdly intense.
Fascinating. Periodicals were like the modern Internet back then from the 50s to the 80s. So exciting to see how we used to feel from this technology back then, which was highly modern at that time and for so many years 😊
Hazel English, i'm terrified of everything, and i know the reason... I just can't help, but keep living. Also, for most of my life i felt a sharp uncertainty... Sometimes i simply don't know who i am anymore. It feels kinda nice to hear that someone else besides me knows those feelings too well. Thank you.
MrMonikerjay I'm happy to know that this generation of musicians can amaze "old" listeners; too many times I've heard you "older" ones criticize new generation music (you did it rightfully in my opinion) and knowing that there is something for you to listen too makes me smile :)
In March 2017 my best friend died at the age of 31. I somehow found Hazel English a a day or two before or after he passed. I listened to this song and “love is dead” over and over and over while at work. This song in particular will always remind me of those times.. but not in a bad way. This song was very soothing during this period. Thank you.
One of the best music videos I've ever seen. It works so well because it's a perfect fit for the mood of the song- the singer shows the world she's 'fine' but inside, she's not, just like the fantasy 'happy' world of advertising in the 60's and 70's. I see a lot of National Geographic magazine, Sears catalog, clothing pattern books and cigarette ad photos in the video. I was born in 1967, so I remember that imagery very well.
Dear anxious people...try not to make mountains out of mole hills. Most things at a young age are so inconsequential in the whole scheme of things. The cure of over thinking things is thinking of OTHER things, BETTER things, getting lost in projects, helping others, and sort of embracing what you just can't change. If you can't sleep...do something, make something, fix something, read something, listen to music, take a walk, look at the stars, look through your old stuff, organize your room, write something, watch comedy, listen to some Alan Watts, etc. So much of life, unfortunately, is about self help and most of you have the skills to at least distract yourself for a bit. It always amazes me that even while I'm sick and depressed all at once...a day or two goes by and a new song comes out, the sun is shining, and the future is still exciting despite all the drama. Hang in there! You CAN do it...and if you can't? You can do something else. You have the rest of your life to try. Eventually you'll succeed. It's inevitable.
I felt this way for many long years. A few months ago I had a breakdown. I'm now heavily medicated & didn't even know life could feel as it does now. Never disregard professional help & medicines. There's no shame in having help when fighting your demons.
I like the use of old stock photos in the video. They are highly edited and curated photos that show picturesque and idealized moments. It compliments the cheery melody of the song. When paired with the lyrics and the cut out fragments of the words, you get a sense that, who ever is sining, is still editing and altering themselves to be as presentable as possible even though they are talking about their anxiety and fears. I imagine many people go through this. Having to censor and edit there appearance and speech patterns to be likable and approachable, even though they are dying on the inside to tell ANYONE what they truly feel.
this song straight up tears me apart and builds me back up again. its everything I’ve ever gone through and am going through right now. thank you so much. i legit have so many memories with this song but actually looking back and searching this song up I feel so happy because it’s always the warmest hug. 🌸
The melody and the retrospective imageries somehow makes me reminisce of some random blurry moments of my childhood. The days I never thought I’d learn to cherish more and more as the years go by.
Pictures like this have always fascinated me. Complete moments stopped in time. The emotions on their faces, the state of everything locked in place. Like...that person existed right there and only there. They are different now or dead but that person smiling exists right there. I dunno its a weird mentality and concept
Not sure how a song this good - has stayed hidden , influences of the Cure, Gorillaz and Pumpkins abound, feels like a blanket of wonderfulness wrapping you up. Rarely, does a song and artist create a "moment" that the listener can get lost in. This song hits all of those marks. I am glad I stumbled upon this and will be thirsting for more!!
Do you listen to any Aurora at all? Or umm....well, Angel Olson isn't quite the same sound, but you might dig that too. Happy listening. You might also like a group called The Origin. Small early 90s band.
Aurora, went to her show in Toronto about a month ago, as she was leaving the stage i yelled Aurora and passed her a gift, she smiled. I love Aurora. Just bought tickets for Alvvays in Toronto in December, going both nights and maybe the third night. Haven't seen Hazel but i'm hoping she comes to Toronto soon.
sreesanth Sasidharan right on, man! Even though the visual art looks like it comes from a time before the music ever did. All these photos look like they’re from the late 1960s, early 70s, and synthesizers didn’t make their way into music until the late late 70s early 80s.
I’ve never heard such an earthly effervescence that shows the self so well in worldly hands, thank you for the words you sung which to me rang of inner truths
My mom died last month and I still haven't been able to get out of my funk. I know I'm not expected to grieve a certain way but I've just been so lost. This song couldn't be a better representation of how I'm feeling in this moment and what it's really like to lose yourself to your own mental, in my opinion. I hope that anyone reading this going through something similar or anything at all, remember we are never handed a situation we can't handle and we have this. We might not feel better today or tomorrow but we are doing our best to get through every day and we have each other in the end 💞🙏
The grieving process is usually around two years. It can be longer or shorter of course, but give yourself room to grieve. The pain gets less intense, and the thoughts get farther and farther apart.
_For most of my life I've felt a sharp uncertainty_ _Now it's just become a part of me_ I relate to this a lot. In fact, the only thing I am certain about is uncertainty. But from my experience, the only way to combat this is to get good at a skill and slowly build confidence in it. Then move on to the next skill and do the samd, and then the next skill, and the next skill. And just keep going. Don't think. Work. Occasionally exposing yourself to what you have a crippling fear of is the best thing you can do. Sometimes it backfires. But the key thing here is to never stop, to never let it take over you. The fear always comes back, but it's never the same and never as overwhelming because now, you _know_ things about yourself.
I usually imagine the worst likely outcome for a situation and I feel better. Example: Moving to a new city. I could end up hating my new job and being alone unable to make friends. Well I guess I can always just move back. Life isn't really that big of a deal, you're going to make mistakes and time will feel wasted. But the alternative of doing nothing is worse. I tell myself there is good stress and there is bad stress, good stress is asking that girl out or standing up for yourself against a toxic coworker, whatever the outcome, it is resolved. Bad stress is ruminating on things that will either never happen or are completely out of your control, so why bother? You don't have much time, I'm not saying you have to be this beacon of confidence but you have to keep moving and pushing the boundaries of good stress.
I come a very different generation. And was raised by an even older generation. This song though hits home though and is immaculate to my mind. Great voice and phenomenal lyrics.
The song is fantastic, but the video is just phenomenal. I'm not a very artistic person, but kudos to whoever concocted this. As a 30yr old man, I possess more feelings than I would publicly admit and this piece successfully incites all of them. It makes me look back at the life I've lived with a great degree of fondness.
why? ... oh, they play it until it runs into the ground and no one likes it anymore but its because its pretty good but they've played it a whole lotta times to make it annoying
I have Persistent Deprive Disorder, AKA Dysthymia, only recently diagnosed (I'm 54). My whole life I was judged as a dullard by most people with all the baggage that accompanies such a judgement, including the initial diagnosis by the first psychiatrist that I consulted. PDD has been known about since the early '90s when I was first misdiagnosed as just "neurotic" by a psychiatric newbie, which fucked me up even more. This song hits hard.
I just want to cry this is what how i feel this song is sad but aesthetic. Life is just like that at least i’ve found this song, someone please bless me 💛
I found it helps immensely when others ask "How are you?" to simply reply, "I'd rather not answer that question. How are you?" Go ahead, try it. You'll feel better having answered honestly and more often than not they'll feel better they won't have to fake an answer either. Credentials: Middle-aged person who's hated life since forever
I really don't understand nostalgia. This song is all about misery yet being forced to put on a show of happiness which is what the 50s and 60s were like for a lot of people especially women.
“Nostalgia is denial. Denial of the painful present. The name for this denial is Golden Age thinking - the erroneous notion that a different time period is better than the one ones living in - its a flaw in the romantic imagination of those people who find it difficult to cope with the present.” - The Pedantic One
The first time I heard this song in 2017 I'd recently fallen totally in love with the greatest girl I'd ever met. Over time I came to realize she like the girl in this song suffered from anxiety and depression. I have a vivid memory of driving home after seeing her one night and was listening to this song in the car and I had this thought that I just knew somehow it wasn't going to work between us. No matter how much I loved that girl it was never going to be enough, years later we broke up. I refused to listen to this song for years but I've finally brought myself to do it. I hope you're doing well Gen.
I KEPT WAITING FOR THE POWERFUL DRUMS AND SYMBOLS TO RUSH IN LIKE AN OCEANIC WAVE OF RHYTHM AND FORCE CARRYING THE SONG TO EPIC HEIGHTS. FELT ON THE VERGE DAMN NEAR THE WHOLE TIME.
Why has this sweet song taken 4 years to show up on my recommended videos? I feel robbed of 4 years of enjoyment. I love the 80's vibe of this song. 🎶📻
This hits me at my anxiety of everyday life, feeling like I'm not getting anywhere, just stuck, as well as the feeling of how my last relationship broke apart bc for all the love she gave, I couldn't get over my insecurities.
Great song. Lyrics are very accurate. I struggled with depression in 7th grade and this reminds me of what it felt like. It helps me to realize how far I've come. :)
thats because it's a biological nostalgia that diversity has stripped from us why do you think the jews say that indie music is overbearingly white? It's white culture.
Do you ever wonder, are songs like this helping people to cope with their feelings, or are they creating these feelings in people that did not have them before.
I think that they’re already sad but sad culture certainly is not about lifting people up. What sad culture and sad music does is help people feel comfortable while being sad. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s better to have medium lows and medium highs than very high highs and very low lows.
@@kylevernon yeah I hear you. That is the common reasoning behind sad music. I'm providing an alternative viewpoint, that perhaps living with sadness is not something that should be embraced, but processed and passed, to return to normalcy. Sadness in itself is not bad, but chronic sadness, a.k.a. depression, is damaging. I think sad culture promotes depression as a normalcy, and it's not. It's physically and psychologically harmful.
i always think about this. the daunting thing about this question is, there's not even a correct answer, makes you question the validity of your emotions
Like your blend of guitar and synth with vocals from the heart. Great mix. It sounds well produced, but now over produced, raw in some ways and warm - very human.
We all suffer this world, that anxiety you feel is ancient so instead of carrying it around with you go ahead and just drop it and focus on whats ahead. In certain circles you would be told you can only control what's three feet in front of you (unless you have freakishly long arms) because in all physical reality that is a fact. Focus on the world like that and see where it takes you and how much you actually begin to control
This music video makes me regret being born in the late 90s like its something I could have controlled. I feel like I missed so many important little moments in the past that would have been amazing to have lived through.
00:39 Hey that's in my city! It's the Römer in Frankfurt! (An old historical building where among other things the mayor has his offices.) And behind that you can see the bell tower of Paulskirche (St. Paul's Cathedral)

i wish i could give more than just one like...
This is why I like getting drunk and stoned and falling down the RUclips rabbit hole.. you find some absolute gems like this ✌️
I feel you mate, the same
Only to find a song that perfectly encapsulates the pain you didn’t know you were feeling..
Absolutely!
@@thatellipsisguy8984 No. You knew what you were feeling but you just couldn't put it into words. I guess :|
I’ve never heard such an earthly effervescence that shows the self so well in worldly hands, thank you for the words you sung
which to me rang of inner truths
completely agree, this is a revelation on so many levels. never seen this to that extent in a song. and so well delivered as well :)
If you like that maybe you’ll like some of my music too, check it out if you feel like it
Watching this in 2020 should be our anthem
First time I heard this it brought me to tears, just how I could relate to the lyrics.
Love her songs. ALL her words are wonderful. Listening to her has really helped my depression and anxiety 💜
It feels like i have watched the last 130 years, loved it.
The images of this video combined with the music produces me a feeling of nostalgia. Don't you feel the same?
My mom died last month and I still haven't been able to get out of my funk. I know I'm not expected to grieve a certain way but I've just been so lost. This song couldn't be a better representation of how I'm feeling in this moment and what it's really like to lose yourself to your own mental, in my opinion. I hope that anyone reading this going through something similar or anything at all, remember we are never handed a situation we can't handle and we have this. We might not feel better today or tomorrow but we are doing our best to get through every day and we have each other in the end 💞🙏
keep on keeping on,
The grieving process is usually around two years. It can be longer or shorter of course, but give yourself room to grieve. The pain gets less intense, and the thoughts get farther and farther apart.
_For most of my life I've felt a sharp uncertainty_
_Now it's just become a part of me_
I relate to this a lot. In fact, the only thing I am certain about is uncertainty.
But from my experience, the only way to combat this is to get good at a skill and slowly build confidence in it. Then move on to the next skill and do the samd, and then the next skill, and the next skill. And just keep going. Don't think. Work.
Occasionally exposing yourself to what you have a crippling fear of is the best thing you can do. Sometimes it backfires. But the key thing here is to never stop, to never let it take over you.
The fear always comes back, but it's never the same and never as overwhelming because now, you _know_ things about yourself.
I have saved your comment to be taken under advisement. Thank you @johnsmith
Can i talk to u
Only thing that filled the gaps and uncertainty for me was accepting Jesus.
I usually imagine the worst likely outcome for a situation and I feel better.
Example: Moving to a new city. I could end up hating my new job and being alone unable to make friends. Well I guess I can always just move back.
Life isn't really that big of a deal, you're going to make mistakes and time will feel wasted. But the alternative of doing nothing is worse.
I tell myself there is good stress and there is bad stress, good stress is asking that girl out or standing up for yourself against a toxic coworker, whatever the outcome, it is resolved. Bad stress is ruminating on things that will either never happen or are completely out of your control, so why bother?
You don't have much time, I'm not saying you have to be this beacon of confidence but you have to keep moving and pushing the boundaries of good stress.
@john smith @Jacob Johnson needed the reminder these days, thank you 💚
The audio/visual collaboration is absolutely profound...very impressive.
This song tell a big story, anxiety and low self esteem etc are not always obvious to others. Great tune that I can relate to!
I come a very different generation. And was raised by an even older generation. This song though hits home though and is immaculate to my mind. Great voice and phenomenal lyrics.
The song is fantastic, but the video is just phenomenal. I'm not a very artistic person, but kudos to whoever concocted this. As a 30yr old man, I possess more feelings than I would publicly admit and this piece successfully incites all of them. It makes me look back at the life I've lived with a great degree of fondness.
This plays at my work 5 times a day
we feel the pain together
why? ... oh, they play it until it runs into the ground and no one likes it anymore but its because its pretty good but they've played it a whole lotta times to make it annoying
ok
unknown Starbucks ?
yeah at starbucks. hard to hear the lyrics there. for me, the music does promote reflection and thinking- excellent for coffee shop musings
Sending this straight to the homes so they can listen to it alone when they feel most comfortable with their feelings.
It's a song that brings back nostalgic memories, but when I think about the current state of the world, I feel a sense of emptiness.
It's cos we where robbed.

The old look to the pictures is pretty neat. Thumbs up on the song!
I have Persistent Deprive Disorder, AKA Dysthymia, only recently diagnosed (I'm 54). My whole life I was judged as a dullard by most people with all the baggage that accompanies such a judgement, including the initial diagnosis by the first psychiatrist that I consulted. PDD has been known about since the early '90s when I was first misdiagnosed as just "neurotic" by a psychiatric newbie, which fucked me up even more. This song hits hard.
All I can say is BUY THE ALBUM! Its soooooooo good. This and Sunbeam Sound Machine have saved my life ❤
Awww loved this picture of Colleen Corby! I remember her from the cover of 17 magazine♥️🌸
I just want to cry this is what how i feel this song is sad but aesthetic. Life is just like that at least i’ve found this song, someone please bless me 💛
I found it helps immensely when others ask "How are you?" to simply reply,
"I'd rather not answer that question. How are you?"
Go ahead, try it. You'll feel better having answered honestly and more often than not they'll feel better they won't have to fake an answer either.

I love the this. The song is an assault on the lie that it superficially promotes. Amazing achievement. Wonderful melody. Love you Hazel!
A masterpiece ❤ One of my favourite songs.
This is the first time I've heard this song but for some reason it gives me nostalgia I never thought I had...
I really don't understand nostalgia. This song is all about misery yet being forced to put on a show of happiness which is what the 50s and 60s were like for a lot of people especially women.
"Anemoia" - _n._ Nostalgia for a time period that you were not alive during
Obscure sorrow?
hey thanks. I always enjoy learning new words.
“Nostalgia is denial. Denial of the painful present. The name for this denial is Golden Age thinking - the erroneous notion that a different time period is better than the one ones living in - its a flaw in the romantic imagination of those people who find it difficult to cope with the present.”
- The Pedantic One
I was born in ‘87, so I was there, but not really.
Sometimes a good memory is just a good memory.
This song is instantly a Wes Anderson classic without even needing to be featured.. It's just woven into the time fabric by being so wonderful
Genius has always been associated with at least a splash of melancholia. And you my dear are the most beautiful genius that has ever existed!💚
This song gets me everytime...
Man i am depressed today.
Tomorrow will be better.
Hope you're okay
The first time I heard this song in 2017 I'd recently fallen totally in love with the greatest girl I'd ever met. Over time I came to realize she like the girl in this song suffered from anxiety and depression. I have a vivid memory of driving home after seeing her one night and was listening to this song in the car and I had this thought that I just knew somehow it wasn't going to work between us. No matter how much I loved that girl it was never going to be enough, years later we broke up. I refused to listen to this song for years but I've finally brought myself to do it. I hope you're doing well Gen.
Very sad, but yes sometimes love just simply isn't enough.
It's so beautiful. It should have so many more views.
I KEPT WAITING FOR THE POWERFUL DRUMS AND SYMBOLS TO RUSH IN LIKE AN OCEANIC WAVE OF RHYTHM AND FORCE CARRYING THE SONG TO EPIC HEIGHTS. FELT ON THE VERGE DAMN NEAR THE WHOLE TIME.
Why has this sweet song taken 4 years to show up on my recommended videos? I feel robbed of 4 years of enjoyment. I love the 80's vibe of this song. 🎶📻
This song saved my life
I hope you're doing ok. ♥
@aikighost thank you kindly. Life has gotten better ... but Lord , I put in that work. Respect and gratitude.
Glad you're still with us, stranger. Any day you wake up warm and breathing is a good day. ❤
@svenofthejungle thank you fam. Respect.
@@sheldonbenjamin1887 Likewise, respect!
You are enough, you are never truly alone, and everything will be OK.
With that username, lol. Thumb up.

This hits me at my anxiety of everyday life, feeling like I'm not getting anywhere, just stuck, as well as the feeling of how my last relationship broke apart bc for all the love she gave, I couldn't get over my insecurities.
sometimes come across the vids like art film than just mvs, and this is it.
hazels are genuine artists.
The end breaks my heart every time, such a beautiful song.
Great song. Lyrics are very accurate. I struggled with depression in 7th grade and this reminds me of what it felt like. It helps me to realize how far I've come. :)
the vibe got me cryin in the club
Wow i love these old classy vibes
thats because it's a biological nostalgia that diversity has stripped from us
why do you think the jews say that indie music is overbearingly white?
It's white culture.
These photos are such a hit of nostalgia for a time I didn't even live in.
Songs that reduce a grown man to tears 😭 well done
Do you ever wonder, are songs like this helping people to cope with their feelings, or are they creating these feelings in people that did not have them before.
Are they even helping people cope or are they making people grow comfortable with staying at the bottom of life?
@@thetwinkiepigistwinkiebaco9555 I think sad culture is a real thing, and thats sad. Miss me with that shit.
I think that they’re already sad but sad culture certainly is not about lifting people up. What sad culture and sad music does is help people feel comfortable while being sad. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s better to have medium lows and medium highs than very high highs and very low lows.
@@kylevernon yeah I hear you. That is the common reasoning behind sad music. I'm providing an alternative viewpoint, that perhaps living with sadness is not something that should be embraced, but processed and passed, to return to normalcy. Sadness in itself is not bad, but chronic sadness, a.k.a. depression, is damaging. I think sad culture promotes depression as a normalcy, and it's not. It's physically and psychologically harmful.
i always think about this. the daunting thing about this question is, there's not even a correct answer, makes you question the validity of your emotions
real emotion, real music.
What music isn't real music?
^^^
hmmmm, let me put an example: *GUCCI GANG*
@@ProjectASkate don't gatekeep. Just bcus it's not smth u like doesn't mean it's not music.
Love the vibe but can't deal with these lyrics. This whole thing with everything being so sad but then saying wooohoo all the time. Just can't.
dear love of my life, thank you for bringing me here. 🥺
This song hits home so much. My soul aches listening to it.
This needs to be about 4-5 minutes longer so I can stay in the lovely space created by this song.
This song hits home so hard.
This song reminds me of why it's worth it to just live life.
Like your blend of guitar and synth with vocals from the heart. Great mix. It sounds well produced, but now over produced, raw in some ways and warm - very human.
We all suffer this world, that anxiety you feel is ancient so instead of carrying it around with you go ahead and just drop it and focus on whats ahead. In certain circles you would be told you can only control what's three feet in front of you (unless you have freakishly long arms) because in all physical reality that is a fact. Focus on the world like that and see where it takes you and how much you actually begin to control
Angelic voice ♡
Agreed, ruclips.net/video/XM4n9r4shSc/видео.html
This music video makes me regret being born in the late 90s like its something I could have controlled. I feel like I missed so many important little moments in the past that would have been amazing to have lived through.
If the human race ever extinct, this will be what remain . The synth that once remind us of a better future. The lyrics made us feel about ourself
This is a fabulous piece of art!
This is an anthem... thank you... I'm fine...
00:39 Hey that's in my city! It's the Römer in Frankfurt! (An old historical building where among other things the mayor has his offices.) And behind that you can see the bell tower of Paulskirche (St. Paul's Cathedral)
