- Gosh this took me waaay too long. This is loosely based on my own experiences and the people around me, and i found that this song portrays it very well. I tried my best to add in parts of Greek Mythos into the mix :)
Please take care of yourself, and if you are struggling with mental health, reach out to someone.
Music: Achilles Come Down by the Gang of Youths
Sorry for the hella long end card, i finished it at 5 am, and i didnt realize it oops.
You're really talented bro
I don't understand why this isn't viral c: It's awesome
I think you can cut it off with the editor on RUclips studio, you only need the desktop version :D
@@Raz3y im boutta cry you saved me
I hope you find peace with yourself and most importantly some help. I've been in that dark place.
On another note it's so breathtaking what you've created.
I MAY BE 3 YEARS LATE BUT OH MY GOD THIS IS AN UNDERRATED GORGEOUS PIECE OF ART.
I usually don't leave comments on RUclips but this is truly an amazing piece of art
Thank you!! I appreciate it
I'm sorry if this doesn't make sense, but this video feels like something you see when you blink. A dream- a glimpse into another life through the memories of someone you will never know. You close your eyes for a moment in a dark room and you see this; bit by bit, piece by piece.. memory by memory
man.
there’s something so... raw about this. i’m at a point where things about suicidal ideation don’t hit close to home anymore, so i also hope you’re doing at least better
Im working on getting help! Theres always gonna be bumps in the road, this is just inspired by some of the lowest episodes i've had. Im glad you are doing better!
This is absolutely *stunning*. The reality of it all mixed with mythological imagery and your beautiful detailed art style... bro I’m in tears over this. Hits close to home. Well done.
holy thank you so much. it really makes my day knowing how many people are enjoying my work.
I wasn't in tears until the end. I was like, "oh, someone is going to gently guide him off roof." But no.
It's... Literally so evocative. The feelings and pain are palpable. Its a work right from your heart and we as a viewer of the art are hit hard. It's both really well crafted and powerful. I have nothing else to say but thank you for creating an honest work.
❤️❤️
*Me, watching this:* ah, so I am untalented and undedicated, got it
Nah but seriously, hot damn I can't imagine how long this must have taken, especially with all of the small details and homages to ancient Greek art. I'm genuinely speechless.
ahh no dont bring yourself down! i enjoy the compliment tho thank you for enjoying it!
Not to mention how long the song is
I cried. This is so beautiful. I love the drawing of Achilles playing the liar
I know this is from three years ago but I just stumbled across it and had to comment; this is beautiful.
Coming back after reading 'the song of achilles', this has even more of a bitter aftertaste.
one of my most treasured books
i don’t know how to describe it but this feels like a centuries old painting about pain and longing that gets hung up in the louvre
This is amazing. I mean, it's honestly deeply disturbing, and I'm far too close to those types of thoughts for it to be comfortable, but it's really good. And the surreal nature of the art fits it really well.
I would be impressed with a one minute animation because this song is long this has so much sybolysim and complex imagery i can’t even comprehend how good this is
I cry every time I watch this I have myself have suffered with suicide and tried multiple times. I’m getting better bit by day and I watching this helps a lot. You are extremely talented.
If they could put animatics in museums, this would deserve its own exhibit
this is absolutely the most beautiful animatic I have ever seen and I don't think i will ever see anything like this ever again
hoy shit thank you sm!!
please please NEVER stop creating❤
@@saanjalyvaishnav695 thats the plan!
This was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever watched.
thank you so much! im truly astounded about how many people watched AND enjoyed my work!
This is amazing, how modern reality fits so well with ancient times reality without much need for any fiction. The animation fits the song as if if was made as a direct music video. The reality of different tries and trying to fix everything but not being able to and trying to just jump is always a dynamic that can only be portrayed in one way and this shows every single way that it can be shown
No, The song is based of the philosophy of Albert camus (absurdism) the French voice is actually quoting an excerpt from his book "the myth of sisyphus" where he points out the paradox in killing yourself for lacking a reason to live and yet having a reason to live i.e., a belief or cause is in itself a very good reason to die.
For as long as anyone can remember people have been people. No matter how much the world changes it’s nice to remember that people really weren’t so different from us thousands of years ago.
This is so underrated. Achilles come down is one of the most amazing hope songs ever, and this is... wow.
It’s like an alternative ending for this song, and on one hand I was, like, idk almost let down by the fact that they jumped, and by the end, seeing them lying, bleeding on the ground, I was in tears and actually a bit scared (idk why scared but yep). And on the other hand you can also see it as a different way to spread hope. don’t waste yourself, don’t let that be you”.
Either way, I saw it in the good way and I really needed this message. Thanks man, best of luck to you too.
I remember watching this a lot when I was younger. I showed a friend who and said how much I loved and related to this animation. They asked if I was ok after watching the end scenes. I didn’t quite understand what they meant until I rewatched 2 years later. I see why they asked now. This is a beautiful animation that I still relate in a way, but I won’t attempt to recreate it in real life.
This is incredible!!! The detailed lines are so expressive!!
This is beautiful, the imagery, the art style, the way it connects to the lyrics and to Greek mythology. It’s so well done I absolutely love it
Thank you for the trigger warning at the beginning and the helplines at the end - that’s important. I really identified with this, you depicted intrusive thoughts in a way that I felt understood. Especially as someone who’s battled with a lot of terrifying religious-themed ones. Anyway, thank you for this and I’m sending you lots of love. 💗
sending love back! it important to me that everyone who watches this is ok and will seek out the help they need if they need any! i know the pains that come with religion and im here for you!
i’ve seen a lot of interpretations of this song and i myself wrote something based on it but this is completely incredible. you art is crazy good and you are extremely talented !
Thank you sm! i heard it off tik tok and i loved te cosplays lol so i got really into it and decided to go for it!
This video triggers my weird paranoid tendencies for some reason but it's also like really chill and I'm here for it
we love that for you, take care of yourself tho
@@LUCIENCANTDRAW thanks!
This honestly brought me to tears, you are so talented and your creativity is astounding. Really loved the tarot card references❤️
i love to sprinkle in my practice into everything i do haha. thank you sm!!
Oh, the feelings I had when I first heard this song.....
holy sh!t this is beautiful
the song, the art, the ideas
it moved me to fvcking tears--
good job--
I’m legitimately speechless. This video is amazing and makes me want to draw more
honestly if i watch this enough ill inspire myself too lmaoo. thank you for the comment!
same!!
This is incredible art. The amount of detail and thought put into this, its just amazing. The part with the astronaut after the jump gave me chills, amazing amazing job
I wish this was a more popular animatic. You’re a truly talented artist and deserve more recognition! I’m absolutely in love with your artstyle. I really wanna just give you a hug and tell you everything’s ok
thank you sm! Sending many hugs back
This is absolutely incredible. You are such a talented artist and storyteller and this is so beautiful.
thank you!
I'm in love, sincerely thank you for this, is so beautiful. I literally have no words to say how much this animation resonates within me and I'm just... I really love this animation so much
no u. ive always wanted to impact people in some way and be able to convey what this song (and others before and yet to come) means to me since i couldn't find many online. thank you for the kind words :)
i could write a lenghty essay about how beautiful and well thought out this animatic was, but instead of doing that i'm just going to say that nothing has made me go from being basically fine to full on sobbing faster than the last few frames starting from the one at 5:31. this is truly just art.
❤️❤️❤️🥺
If you ever end up writing an essay , just know that I'd be open to read it anytime😅
WHY ARE YOU SO UNDERRATED 😭 I'm literally speechless right now. The symbolism, the visceral depictions, and especially your art style. It's magnificient.
thank you sm!
I'm not crying...
You are
im also not crying. who is crying? what is crying? I do not express such mortal emotions as sweating from eye sockets.
its an animation but its so so raw i loved every second of it. i was really hoping for a happy ending tho but alas.
LYRICS
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you
Achilles, it's not much but there's proof
You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue
Redemption lies plainly in truth
Just humor us, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
Je vois que beaucoup de gens meurent
Parce qu'ils estiment que la vie ne vaut pas la peine d'être vécue
J'en vois d'autres, qui se font paradoxalement tués pour des idées
Pour des illusions, qui leurs donnent une raison de vivre
Ce, qu'on appelle une raison de vivre est en même temps une excellente raison de mourir
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken
Remember the pact of our youth
Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping
Since there is no me without you
Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
But love the sweet air of the votives
Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone
Engage with the pain as a motive
Today, of all days, see
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
D'un gérant d'immeuble qui s'était tué on disait un jour
Qu'il avait perdu sa fille depuis cinq ans
Qu'il avait beaucoup changé depuis et que cette histoire l'avait
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now You are absent of cause or excuse
So self-indulgent and self-referential
No audience could ever want you
You crave the applause yet hate the attention
Then miss it, your act is a ruse
It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now
It's a pointless resistance for you
Ce qui déclenche la crise est presque toujours incontrôlable
Les journaux parlent souvent de chagrins intimes ou de maladie incurable
Ces explications sont valables
Mais il faudrait savoir si le jour même un ami
Du désespéré ne lui a pas parlé sur un ton indifférent
Celui-là est le
Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle
Don't listen to what you've consumed
It's chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy
Of feeding and it's wholly untrue
You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing
It's all just conjecture and gloom
And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it
Do not waste yourself on this roof
Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
Chiming away for a moment
Feel your breath course frankly below
And see life as a worthy opponent
Today, of all days, see
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Ah, it's more courageous to overcome
Les souvenirs d'une patrie perdue, l'espoir d'une terre promise
Ce divorce entre l'homme de sa vie
You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers (it's not worth it, Achilles)
More poignant than fame or the taste of another (don't listen, Achilles)
But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker (you're worth more, Achilles)
You will not be more than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat)
You want my opinion, my opinion you've got (no one asked your opinion)
You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts (no one asked for your thoughts)
Be done with this now and jump off the roof (be done with this now and get off the roof)
Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
Achilles, come down
Achilles, come down
Celle du oui et celle du non
Ce serait trop beau
Mais il faut faire la part de ceux qui, sans conclure, interrogent toujours
Ici, j'ironise à peine, il s'agit de la majorité
Je vois également que ceux qui répondent non agissent comme s'ils pensaient oui
De fait
Throw yourself into the unknown
With pace and a fury defiant
Clothe yourself in beauty untold
And see life as a means to a triumph
Today, of all days, see
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Ah, it's more courageous to overcome
i avoid any living thing while blud is drawing a whole anatomy lecture
I can't discribe what I feel, but I can show this video
This song is a haunting reminder of the darkness I thought I had escaped. This song echoes the voices in my head, the ones that tell me I'm not enough, that I'm a burden, and that I'll never be worthy. It's a painful reflection of the moments I've hit rock bottom, and the tears I've cried in silence. Gang of Youths' lyrics have a way of reaching into my soul and stirring up emotions I thought I had long buried. This song is a heartbreaking reminder that some wounds never fully heal, and that the ache of my past will always be a part of me.
I rarely cry but now I feel the tears triying to scape my eyes, this is amazing. And please if you are reading this and you are struggling trust me you matter so much to many people even if you dont know
P.D sorry for my poor english, it isnt my first language
u matter also!!
@@LUCIENCANTDRAW thanks i needed to hear that but this is a two-edged swor and the same goes to you
This is absolutely incredible. This seems very, very personal, I hope you're okay, talented stranger. If you ever were on the roof, I hope you got off of it for good.
Lots of love.
Lots of love to you too, kind stranger
this song makes me long for what I should have been, what I missed, it makes me long for a home that will potentially never exist again.
this was so detailed and well done, i could tell that you put significant time and effort into the concepts and implementation of this animatic- your skills really shine through.
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you
Achilles, it's not much but there's proof
You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue
Redemption lies plainly in truth
Just humour us, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

This is just... so beautiful. Not, like, in the sense of romanticized tragedy, but rather in how personal this feels. I almost feel like I'm intruding on your and other people's personal lives and experiences. This is an incredible work of art and the way you tell the story through each of your drawings is simply beyond anything I can describe. And all of the different moments that shine through the main storyline, the astronaut, the traveling, the quick jump references to Greek mythology... simply amazing. And minute 5 actually gave me chills and I cried... I think that it's because I was optimistic and hoping your character would actually come down, but then reality hit and he let go... it just hit me like a train, and then I actually did cry, because, in reality, people do really choose to let go, despite how much we want them to stay. Anyway, you are incredible, this is incredible, thank you for sharing it. 💙
EDIT: I'm smashing that subscribe button right now. Happy 100 subscribers, you really deserve it. 💙
thank you so much, it means alot to me when i read about the impact i made! Thanks for subbing i really appreciate it ! insert all the love
This is beautiful and harrowing. I think what cut me the deepest is seeing the words meant to fight against the sucicidal thoughts being recontextualized as yet another statement to tear the person down.
This isnt something i can imagine I'll revisit, but i certainly wont forget it either. This is a stunning work.
i knew the song before, i also know the story of achilles and patroclus and depression/suicide is a big part of my life right now.. seeing these themes in a animation is truly amazing! the artstyle, the story, the balance between mythology and our time, the drawings that give a hint to whats happening in the music... everything is on a so high level!
Thank you for this awesome animation and i look forward on seeing more of you!
yeah i cried
*evil laugh*
THIS NEEDS MORE ATTENTION.
Honestly absolutely love this, it truly captures how it feels to be alone, along with working in Greek mythology keep it up 😁
You’re able to convey the story through images alone extremely well, a lot of the shots are very striking and beautiful. Great work, thanks for posting!
every panel of this animation is a whole new piece of art altogether woahhh
This is amazing and I’m genuinely a little angry that is isn’t more popular
This art speaks in so many ways to me. The darkest times somehow feel like the most secure
literal chills and this was made years ago holy shit im on the verge of tears
Hi this is the first ever YT comment I’ll be leaving but I just felt that I had to thank you for this beautiful piece of art. It’s so raw and detailed and I m in love. It’s so so beautiful
You are amazing
thank you sm
Im crying rn. This was exquisite in every way. A real insight into the mind.
Tis is beautiful
I can't recall the last time I was so invested in the story of something. I don't even know what to say... It's incredible. So raw and touching. True art.
This. This is how I imagine this song. So beautiful,so raw and so so so well done. Literally made me sob. Thank you for this🤍
Your imagery is stunning.... the colouring in the Greek statuses, wow. The storytelling. I love it.
Edit: Oh fuck the ending, the "I'm talking to you", I've never seen this thought behind these lyrics, that an Achilles who didn't come down sings this song as a warning. Literal chills down my spine....
Why doesn't this video have more likes and views? It's just so amazing and I don't have enough words for this... I enjoy how there is shown not only the Greek Mythology but also Tarot cards... I mean - there are so many truly breathtaking moments and I paused the video few times just to look at the details so I could truly enjoy them. I've been trying to do some animatics too so I know how much time it takes - so I really look up to you and your artstyle... Do you know that it perfectly fits to the whole song? Just P E R F E C T I O N.
*Achilles? DoN’t YoU mEaN ICaRuS?*
?? the song is about achilles i get how it can sound like they're talking about Icarus but its basically about how achilles felt after Patroclus died
@@LUCIENCANTDRAW Yeah I know, it was supposed to be a joke but looking back that’s not obvious at all. Dunno why I didn’t Do ThE fOnT lIkE tHiS instead of making it *bold,* but I’ll just edit it. Thanks for pointing it out! It’s just wings stuck out like a sore thumb in the drawings (for me at least) and he had the wings while on the roof during the last scenes if I remember correctly.
@@sophiescribbles8504 lmaoo its all good
watching this nearly a year after i had first found it, espcially after a lot of things that had happened to me
jeez it just hits even harder
ngl i return to this myself and just,,, absorb sometimes
I absolutely love your art style! It's so simple, yet complex & detailed! It reminds me of something and makes me feel nostalgic, but I can't quite pin it down...
thats the goal!
The images and art you paired with the lyrics are so metal and so fitting. You've made a beautiful video. 👌 Just finished the Song of Achilles and now the algorithm led me here in the ravbit hole I fell into
This makes me want to read the book again❤️📖. And I usually never reread
this song has been my favourite ever since I first listened to it, and this adds even more emotion to the meaning of the whole thing. I’m in love with your artstyle, the composition, the colours, the way it translates it’s message is unbelievable. I struggle with depression (or well depression is the one struggling with me for now lol), so even just seeing something like this means a lot. as someone who likes to think they know something about art, music, composition and suicidal tendencies, hats off to you. please keep on marching.
This. DAMN. This is such a wonderful interpretation of the song plus the drawings omg this is peak art. Petition to make this the original music video for the song. Yes, gosh fk wow. You are a genius, take care and loads of love.
This is so beautiful. I'm in tears.
that was amazing. i'm speechless... the details- everything. love it !!
thank you!
Thinking about how each frame was crafted with so much detail so beautifully... it leaves me speechless.
God. When you've felt this way before I don't know that you ever really... Forget. It's in your bones. But I managed to get off the roof - and I hope you all do too.
This is a masterpiece!!!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!
I've been dealing with a lack of approval and dealing with unfortunately dark and devious thoughts. Constantly haunted by my past and trauma. Unfortunately, life is not kind to those who ask for goodness. So I press on. Continuing into darkness, holding my candle close, keep the flame alight. No matter how the wax burns. No matter the agony. I must keep going.
I wish you all luck on your endeavors and that you may not consider the ledges that may be obscured in darkened recesses of the places our candles cannot reach.
OMG ! This is just INCREDIBLE, the art is just beautiful. U r such an amazing artist, the pain and feel of the song is so observable. Not a single thing is missing
thank you so much!!!
i keep coming back to this
Gosh this is a work of art
Like literally the details and all
i cant even imagine how long this took you but holy god is it worth it. this is genuinely one of the most gorgeous animatics ive ever seen. thank you so much for your time and effort because this made my day
thank you so much! it usually takes me long cause i procrastinate lol . im gald it made your day!
Haven’t felt so connected to a piece of art in a while. Awesome job 👏🏾
May I just say, this is stunning
This animatic is, in all senses of the words, drop-dead stunning. Wow. For one, this song is so deep and amazing, and I didn't think that animatics would be able to do it justice, but you have created something that does this song so much justice. Your style is beautiful, and the colour-schemes, backgrounds, depth.... again, just wow. Your style and visual depiction of the song lends so well into creating deep meaning. It's wholly unforgettable.
i appreciate your comment so much! thank you for your kind words!
without a doubt one of the most beautiful vids on this site
this is so impressive I’m feeling so many emotions
WOW! This is absolutely stunning 💞 I usually aren't a fam of longer animatics but this is so wonderfully made and feels so strong
Hey this is freaking incredible. This song has been really powerful for me lately and this video is exactly what I needed. While this isn't how I personally interpret the song, I still love the way you portrayed it and put in some actual deep stuff. Nice work!
Oh wow, the illustrations are amazing ! So much details!
This is beautiful. This is art.
that’s beautiful...
I found this by accident because this is my favorite song and has been for years, The imagery in this is absolutely amazing. Wonderful wonderful job.
I have stumbled upon a beautiful diamond. THIS IS REALLY AMAZING!!
THANK YOU!!!
I was curious and this is the first animatic for this song I've found. Thank you for sharing your talent and letting us taste some of your experience, I hope you're doing better now
This gave me goosebumps
Holy....
Oh my GOODNESS????
*How?*
That was a m a z i n g.
THANK YOUUUU and HAPPY NEW YEARS!!
Wow like I can't even comprehend how you do this this is amazing like wow
i love your art style and im probably donna use these frames for references, their so good!
this is also a really accurate depction of shitty mental health
@@Evelyn-rf7ec i wouldn't call it shitty mental health. just struggles that people that have trouble with mental health experience.
@@LUCIENCANTDRAW cool, thanks for the clarification
