    what does the dog feel? is it just an empty shell unable to communicate with the outside world? the vocals reflect its pointless existence, full of melancholy, oh if it could just be like the countless generations of people it has seen throughout the many christmas it spent hanging off a branch or standing over the fireplace. actually cared about, not just a small part of something wich would be completely complete without it and put away to dust for the rest of the year. it fantasizes about experiencing the world even if it's just a walk in the city at night, its nature tells it to accept its fate but it just cannot restrain the urge to be alive, to try and reach the thing it wishes for the most: happiness. one christmas evening the dog wondered if there really is no escaping its existence of loneliness and a glimpse of hope spread across its mind like the stars spread across the sky, what if after it is no longer of use to the humans and it's atoms finally break the chains of this cursed life it will become something else, maybe, just maybe, it will become a human and experience what it longed for all this time, it'll just have to wait. the dog devised a plan so the humans will consider it ugly and throw it away. for years the visual aspects of the dog were degraded by itself, you could say he just looked pathetic with the greyish white color and that lifeless smile. then something unexpected happened, the unusual look of the dog atracted the attention of one of the humans, the human decided to name a song after it, he even took the dog around the city. after a while the human died and his occasional smile upon seeing the dog was gone, of course the dog was sad but after the human gave it attention nothing was the same, the dog realized how unique it was, how although there were many other dogs like it, it had it's own story and even got to experience a walk around the city at night. it accepted that it is just that, a pathetic dog christmas ornament, yet each time it has seen the stars through the window it remembered the idea from half a ceuntry before and that only through it a change can be made. so it's work continiued, eventually it got thrown out, another eternity of waiting was upon it but the dog didn't mind.
    and after a millenium or two the last atoms separated, it was finally time.
    and it didn't reincarnate into a human because that shit does not happen.
    and the dog didn't mind, it's had his joys and sorrows when observing the humans and the plants and soil and the animals and the clouds and the stars
    and the dog realized that it did live
    and it didnt matter that it wasn't like the humans or the plants or the soil or the animals or the clouds or the stars
    and it didn't matter what would happen , it was ready for everything the universe wanted to do
    there was nothing it could do to alter such a power
    and it was alright
    after all it was just a pathetic dog christmas ornament
    and it was alright

    This ornament reminds me of a stuffed dog I got from the dollar store as a kid, that I can only describe as also being incredibly pathetic looking. Pathetic, in an endearing sort of way. It's limbs are too long and thin, it's head is big, it's black beady eyes are close together, and its ears flop around with no stuffing in them.
    I loved that dog. I had to give it away, but this video made me think of him. I hope he's okay.

    Found this track before a fifty mile drive home along rural roads. Streetlights are a rare sight, and even then, they're obscured somewhat by the misty rain. There was nobody behind me, no one in front, and I saw few people going the other way. I left from a once-bustling household, a late holiday at my dad's home, to the quiet and empty road. It's just my thoughts, myself, and this music.
    Presently, I'm waiting for fuel to finish pumping, then I'm back on the road. I know I'll enjoy the drive home, but I cannot wait to be curled up in bed and dozing off.

    liminal, cold, dark pavement

    Why does the ornament look so good though? I think the dog looks pretty sweet...
    Also the song is really nice :)

    this is probably one of my favorite videos on youtube byfar, like genuinely. it gives off such a cozy, old-timey feel, very reminiscent of old, classic youtube. this dog is amazing and anything but pathetic 💜

    This actually makes me feel so relaxed and at peace, that little dog is me, just sitting alone and listening to the music, calm content smile on their little face.

    Over the last 4 Christmas I've felt like this dog... Glad to know someone manage to put my feelings into a 3 minutes 50 seconds video. It's cheesy and pathetic to say that but I'm not lying, life feels a lot like this these days ...

    when the dog realizes it's scale,
    when held against the uncaring world,
    when held against monoliths of man,
    when held against all the other months,
    and at most - when held against the dark,
    it realizes it's scale -
    a pathetic dog Christmas ornament.
