Heeeeey guys! Hope you enjoy this new song! We’ve been working on this one for a while and I’m so excited to see it finally being released!
So I have this thing about the passage of time, it kinda terrifies me and so as I was writing this song I decided to create a character and make a story for her that loosely mirrors something I’ve been struggling with. It’s kinda worked out to be a cautionary tale to remind myself of what truly matters and how important it can be to slow down.
Biggest thank you to all the beautiful people that helped bring this project together! Especially to the wonderful Ben who wrote this with me. You’re all the best!
LYRICS:
She felt time move faster every day she lived
Minutes become seconds and the sands run through her fingertips
She’s just 18 and a state
Has 13 coffees a day
But they grow cold, she’s lost control as all the light fades away
Her birthdays pass in a flash
Wishing those easy days back
Imaginary friends
Bake cookies, make dens
But times in charge and everything ends
No, no no no no no no no no no no no no!
Seven seconds to breakdown
What makes you whole now
Doubled you’re age but half alive
Gum and sixpence in your purse
You’re Living in reverse
Oh babe you’ve wasted all your time
Why not take five
Four-get your mind
It’s not like we get three lives
Two overcome
With all you haven’t done
Too late 5,4,3,2,1
Last week she tried yoga, bought a scrunchie and a mat
New things help the time move slow, the internet told her that
She’d reached a 20 and 5
Blue Beaten trainers were tied
But simply couldn’t outrun the constant pacing of time
The tick-a-tok of the clock
Just take your time babe and stop
But takings a task
Cos how do you clasp
The passage of time when it’s moving so fast
No, no no no no no no no no no no no no!
Seven seconds to breakdown
What makes you whole now
Doubled you’re age but half alive
Gum and sixpence in your purse
You’re Living in reverse
Oh babe you’ve wasted all your time
Why not take five
Four-get your mind
It’s not like we get three lives
Two overcome
With all you haven’t done
Too late 5,4,3,2,1
(Instrumental)
And now she’s sat at your bed
Counting the breaths in her head
Trying hard to memorise all that you’ve said
At 35 the time stopped
A Goodbye shared at this spot
To the one who taught how to read the hands of a watch
Seven seconds to breakdown
What makes you whole now
Blinded by time when she’s half alive
Call it six writes down the nurse
No clocks can’t be reversed
Oh babe you’ve wasted all your time
Why not take 5
Four-get your mind
It’s not like we get three lives
Two overcome
With all you haven’t done
Too late
5,4,3,2
Byeeeeeeee

Well done guys, this really moved me hard ❤❤
@@LydiatheBard Could the next villain song be by Vanellope?
I imagine her watching Ralph die when he tries to save her in the Chaos race, ending up being crushed by rubble and fire, and the virus copier copies her insecurity, broadcasting her bug all over the internet, while she thinks about Ralph, blaming her herself for choosing the internet over her best friend, promising to destroy the internet world with hate in her heart!
I”, hugeher when she gets home she’s at work rn :[

This will probably be buried in replies by the next day and you’ll never see this but this song is WONDERFUL❤❤❤❤ May I use this as something?
That last part wasn't fair. Straight up. I wasn't expecting that part of time moving too fast.
@@Jonathan_Collins i think that was intended.
Getting older past your teens means you have adult responsibilities and you have to leave the comfort of home :(
@zoeypetticrew I still go and spend a day with parents occasionally and just enjoy the time with them.
I didn’t expect to cry today but here we are 😭
Same 😢
Same OMG
I'm not crying... its these damn onion choping ninjas that keep following me around.
Same
@@northstar6920lol ikr they need to leave us alone
I love how this captures the feeling we’ve all felt from kids, every time your parents told you that you’re living in the best era of your life but you didn’t believe them and couldn’t wait to grow up and go to bed when you want, earn money and watch scary movies. Now we’re here, wishing we were back there.
Cherish every single day. It’s all a gift. You’ll always look back on things fondly.
Deep
Very true words
Oh, no. I always understood I never wanted to grow up. That never stopped time though.
I didn't even have the lie that growing up would be fun, I always knew
Amen. Growing up can become hard to deal with throughout your life. This probably means that we gotta live life to the fullest with the time we have.
Nope. I've been afraid of growing up since I was 6 or 7. Now I'm 15 and can't wait to hit 18 because I'm tired of hiding who I am for the sake of my parents
"Wait WHEN was the last time you went to a movie theater?"
"To see the 'Diamond Mutant' movie on the night of its release."
"A-according to the records I've seen that came out in 2042. 43 years ago."
"...Oh my God. What have I been doing with my life?"
"Trapping yourself in a routine and only allowing yourself the cheapest entertainment forms I reckon."
"Hey, I thought you guys were supposed to help people. Not go around guilt-tripping."
"Yes, and this isn't guilt tripping. It's recognizig that this economy is designed to make even that a massive expense."
Where is this quote from? Or is it something you wrote?
@@sheersternfeld1914 It's a conversation between OCs.
@@youtubeuniversity3638 Good one. Heh. I worry about the future.
The fact that I’m 18 right now, feeling like I can barely be considered an actual “adult” just makes this song hit even harder… but the ending was really unexpected, and it makes me realize how much we should still appreciate what we have in the moment. I’m sure I’ll miss the feeling of being a young adult one day, so I should enjoy it while I can🫶💕
Same! It's so hard to STOP thinking about the passage of time! 🥲 Feels like I'm waiting time doing stuff I like.
Same like I just wanna stay at home and play games
Hey. Life's hard and it will be brutal at times but you got this. There's so much pain to come but also so much joy and love. I believe in you.
Nearing the big one eight myself,
Im 19. Just moved in with my grandparents. This hit hard for me too
The saying, “live life in the moment” is so true. If you constantly think about time, time will only move faster on you. We should be happy with the life we have.
“Oh babe you’ve wasted all your time”
Why did that make me cry 😭
fr
Oh my god this hit so hard??
I’m a fairly young person and frequently find myself with no idea what I want to do with my future. I’m rather perfectionistic and oftentimes feel smothered by my work. It’s like I’m drowning out everyone and everything with the noise in my head.
It’s videos like these that make me value what and who I have so much. I love my parents, especially my mother, so much. I’m grateful for all they’ve done for me and couldn’t imagine a world without them. Thank you, Lydia, for reminding us what it means to live in the present. Take care. 💚💚
I can relate and to be honest ,I probably have been feeling like that since I was 14y.
But already a bit younger I genuinely didn't know what to do with my future. Doesn't help that school constantly pushes you to know your future NOW.
I'm now 18y ,having a volenteer job ,still not entirely sure what to do but i do enjoy baking. Trying to get over my social anxiety but in general being more happy than I was at school. But still ,what will I do in the future ,will I be able to get a grip of my life ?
@@trixfox45 I definitely understand. I’m in early high school and the amount of pressure they put on us to know what we want to do is very high. It’s causing a lot of struggles tbh.
But I believe in you! You seem like a very kind person and I wish you nothing but the best. And baking is a cool hobby! ^^
I just turned 19 recently, and I still don't know what I'm going to do. I'm currently majoring in radiology, even though my dream was to be an artist. I find myself writing on the side, and hardly drawing. So it's safe to say that life takes you places you don't expect. I'm still trying to figure everything out and balance it all, but it's important to just stop and take a breather.
Growing up doesn't scare me like it used to. Knowing that I'll eventually have to go through life without my mom one day does. She's my rock, and she's always there for me even when I'm going through the worst times of my life.
I'm going to go give my mom a hug now....
The last part where the mom died makes me sad. Especially because the music slows down and the lyrics are really meaningful. I feel so bad for the main character. You really have to listen to the lyrics like Lydia said. Very important and so are the pictures and animation. Thank you Lydia, we all needed this.
I really needed this right now. I'm 19 trying to figure out how to live alone while doing what makes me happy, but it not working out in the slightest and the job I have to keep myself supported keeps blowing me off from shifts to the point where I can barely get enough groceries. I've already lost my family because they wanted me to let them control my entire career path, didn't care about my personal identity, and called me mentally ill for breaking down when they couldn't be the one controlling everything. I never knew the people who gave birth to me, my adopted mum never cared about my feelings, I've lost every friend I had, and have been emotionally manipulated way too much. I really relate to this because sometimes I feel like it's so much better to look back to those days where, sure, I was sheltered and couldn't do anything but follow a manipulator blindly but it was easier than this and the time keeps going by without me being able to stop it from slipping away.
Thank you for a beautifully grim and so real song, Lydia!
🫂
I truly don't know what possesses people to adopt someone just to be abusive, controlling pieces of trash. Just know that you'll likely still have good memories when any of them pass on but don't let that drag you back into their toxic grasp. I'm proud of you for doing what's best for YOU and escaping the cage.
It sounds like you might need to have a discussion with your workplace to explain that you're struggling and need the income to survive. This is assuming you haven't asked already. If they are unwilling then I'd suggest looking for a new one. This is just a suggestion though, do what you want to most.
I also suggest maybe looking online for nearby groups that are into things you are as well and try to connect. Being lonely is a heavy feeling so being around those you have common interests with and enjoy their presence really helps.
Regardless of what comes to pass, I know you'll make it through. You got this, I believe in you.
You can do it stay calm spend time with your family and loved ones
@@vincenttrigg4521 I appreciate the advice! The sad part is that I've been looking for another job and have been denied at every place but this place for the past 2 months and while I'd love to make new friends and hang out, I'm limited in transportation and the few friends I have online help a little bit but I still feel alone because I'm still sitting alone in my room. That being said, I'm not giving anything up. I'm going to keep going, hoping that my commissions and freelance work will pick up instead, eventually start streaming and make the story series I'm currently writing into a podcast. I'm going to keep pushing and I appreciate the support!
🫂🫂
This made me cry. 😭😭😭It's so true. Time moves faster as you get older. That's why freezing time is the most useful superpower ever.
Time is something that everyone try to beat, but we can never win.
I 'm so afraid of growing up, Lydia 😭
So I totally get you, girl!!!
I can't wait to hear the full song!! 😊
This is one of the few things (movies, songs, books, etc.) to actually make me feel sad. Great song
2:31 this got me crying
I'm 13. I've heard adults say that this is the golden age and I never believed them until now. A lot of lessons I learned are from various music artists, Lydia being one of them. Thank you and I will enjoy my teenage years because of this
The mom sounds like a sweet person
didnt think i would start crying over a song that's how good it was Lydia
Oh, I just know this is gonna be awesome
I think all of us are, at least someway, afraid of time passing, like when you don't realize time passed, or you don't wanna go somewhere etc...
I feel like this is gonna be relatable to a lot of people
My favorite part about any art form is how you can come across things that mirror your experience almost exactly. I'm 34 and can relate so hard to this, my parents have been in and out of the hospital for years, and I've been trying so hard to focus on the time I have with them, and taking things moment by moment, but time really doesn't slow down.
I really appreciate stuff like this; great song, great animatic, amazing work.
This song hit me. In the last three years, I lost my grandfather, I lost my favorite aunt. And then I lost myself, and am still suffering from burnout. Probably shouldn't have listened to the song, it terrified me, but at the same time, realizing how there are so many people who can relate, and the beautiful lyrics that were sung, this song is probably my new favorite mental health song. Love your songs, LydiatheBard. I'm sorry for all youve gone through, if this video is an indication. And to everyone else, you aren't alone.
One thing i don’t think people have noticed is that she doesn’t say 1 at the end, she just stops at 2. It could mean that it’s never too late to stop trying to stop time and instead use it wisely and do the most with it.
I noticed that too
I thought the d(one) was meant to be that last second.
I mean people probably noticed but just didn't comment on it
@@lila6120no, at the very end when she goes 5432 and doesn’t say one
I turned 17 a few days ago. Today's my mom's birthday. I'm gonna hug her. I hope you are well, Lydia.
Aw. I also just turned 17 recently and this video reminds me of how I feel about birthdays sometimes.
@@moonstarstories1298 yeah 😭 I'm excited for birthdays but every year also just means so much yknow? It's overwhelming sometimes.
I just know you're going to make it to 1 million some day. Ur a great songwriter. Keep going Lydia ❤
My mom is long gone, father too.... but still, excellent song for an excellent message. Time does not slow for any of us, in fact it seems to go faster as we get older... so yeah, hug your mom, spend some time with your dad, call your grandparents...make time for siblings and children, because before you know it... time has had it's way.
Yeah… I would love to be able to hug my grandparents one more time. But my only one left doesn't even remember who I am right now. I wasted so much time…
One quote I always remember is from the office, where they talk about how they didn't know about the good old days until they lost them.
I try to cherish every mundane moment, talking with my coworkers, hanging out with my family, being in the presences of those I love.
In the long run nothing truly lasts, but the bonds we make with others through our actions will
This hit way too hard, I am actually tearing up rn
I am still a teen and don't understand much about adulthood but this made me cry a lot😢
Same… 😭
that one part where she looks across the street and saw people looking happy and content with friends/family/loved ones felt so real… so many times I’d look at strangers and think about if things could be different if I lived a different life and was a different person. Maybe I’d be happier then.
I like how the 5...4...3...2... at the end without the '1' indicates that we still have time and we are living right now!
Lydia, I hope you're doing alright. I wanted to say this is a masterpiece. Every change in the tempo encapsulated how we feel the passage of time. It sucks when it feels like the best time in our lives were the first years, but I want to say you definitely haven't wasted yours.
Personally im someone who wants to grow up and be able to choose how my life goes, theres so much i want to do, but as graduation inches closer i get more scared of the passing of time, how fast it actually flies by, and the future.
But besides that, the lyrics in this are genuinely the most moving and creative lyrics ive ever head. The subtle addition of a count down in the lyrics and the fact i didnt notice it until a couple watches later, really furthers the fact that you dont notice the time ticking down while you try desperately to stop it, until your forced to realize that it never will. Absolutely beautifully written ❤❤❤
I can't wait!!!!
Who's with me?
this hits hard i miss these old times when life was easy and we had no troubles, happyness is so hard to find these days and time flies too fast, enjoy yourself while you still can its harder to get when you are my age
This... Is a very good animatic and song. It touches on a lot of my fears, the main one being time. You start with so much of it, but you can never get it back. I feel like it perfectly encompasses my fears of wasting your life while trying to do things that are meaningful. Remember everyone, enjoy every second that passes because it's another second you get back.
Wow, this brought a whole wave of memories. I wasn't fortunate to have my mom to adulthood, I lost her at 16. She was my best friend, my biggest supporter, and my nudge into the artistic world.
A beautiful song, one I know my mom would've loved to listened to with me.
I don't even need to hear this song. I already know that it will be a banger!
I am so excited lydia it's going by awesome 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I love this song, it's just so relatable!
I especially love the part "Why not take 5, 4-get your mind, it's not like we get 3 lives, 2 overcome with all you haven't d-1" it's such an amazing word play of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
It took me the very last repeat of the line to get that, just amazing,
a few lines before she even sings seven and six
@@rabbit_girl oh my god! You're right!
Lydia! Do a Q+A VIDEO! And maybe on live. We all have lots of question! Like how did you start and who's your team for animation and music because they slay!
This is the one and only song that’s actually made me cry. Dammit, Lydia! This is beautiful. It’s as if you’ve taken every painfully real fear I have, and crystallized it into a song. Well done.
100% felt this. I honestly have no words except hug your friends and loved ones. Spend as much time as you can with them because we never know how much we have left before they're gone. It's been 5 years and I still check my phone every morning for a good morning text.
Lydia that last part was evil. I was vibing and relating and you just hit me with tear inducing feels😭
THE ENDING OMFG, HEARTWRENCHING.
I love the detail of her only being 25 by the end, she has her whole life ahead of her, today she could live to 90 years old or even older, so worrying about it makes it hard to make good memories and good work of her time, enjoy the time you have and don’t live in regret of the time you’ve spent on something different that didn’t work out.
help im actually crying right now 😭
im not kidding, there are tears coming out of my eyes
this is so beautiful but at the same time fills me with so much dread
this such an amazing and meaningful song that has so much truth to it. 💖💖💖
Could the next villain song be by Vanellope?
I imagine her watching Ralph die when he tries to save her in the Chaos race, ending up being crushed by rubble and fire, and the virus copier copies her insecurity, broadcasting her bug all over the internet, while she thinks about Ralph, blaming her herself for choosing the internet over her best friend, promising to destroy the internet world with hate in her heart!
GIRLL YESS AND WENDY'S TOOO
@@DaJackydogsgreat idea 😊
I was suggested here by the song “Gandi - Yea Yea” 😅😅
I did not need this punch to the feels. I lost my mom to cancer two years ago, and it's still raw.
How’d you capture the coming dread that I always feel at the thought of growing up? Seriously, a lyrical and musical masterpiece ❤
I'm at my senior year in high school and have been dealing with a lot of stuff lately, this wasn't something that I thought I needed, thank you Lydia :)
I felt called out then teared up watching this. I Love it.
I’m sitting in my college dorm room not knowing what to do with myself in the moment. I’ve recently transferred schools but slowly coming to realize that I’m never going to enjoy where I’m at in life unless I have my family. I almost feel a little dumb for letting my degree of choice/ where I’m getting it from pulling me away from my family. I have a lot of feelings of mourning for the past and longing to go back and I feel like this song finally let me feel ok to cry about it. Thank you
This made me cry :(
I'm so excitedddd
i've been a HUGE fan since the first princess villain song!
I don't know why, but this song made me think of Soul, and it made me also feel kind of bad (bad for you, i mean) i guess that's what Joy meant in Inside Out 2 " When you grow up, you feel less joy". But anyways, no crybabies here. Have a happy saturday afternoon, Lydia, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.
i cant stop listening to this. ive played it like 50 times now
Love the song Lydia, but felt sad. I almost teared up watching the ending. 😢
I can’t help but feel like this song speaks out to Lydia herself.
Also, I really needed this.
I’m 16, going on 17 and time has been going by so fast for me 😢
Would be interesting to see "Tough to be a God", sang by Chel and Tulio, as both are outcasts, that are seeking for a way to right the wrongs of the world... In their own way. Using Tzekel's magic well/knowledge to not only 'bring peace' to El Dorado, but think on how to bring the whole world to a literal "Golden Age".
*SPOILER FOR THE VILLAIN IDEA*
~after fight with Tzekel-Kan, in their pyramid temple~
M: She's the reason we're here...
T: Exactly! She's the one who's proven that this place is not only real, but can be a paradise with the right mindset.
M: What I'm trying to say, if it was not for her, we could've as well be killed by that mad, delusional priest...
T: I say! If it was not for your mad, delusional desire on that game, we wouldn't have to cross the ocean in the first place!
M: All you really care about is gold.
T: And you wish to be a god? Look who's bought into his own con!
M: At least I'm not dating mine...
T: That... That's...
C: Low.
~both men turn and see Chel come from behind the curtain, smiling widely~
C: Miguel, I see that you're the only one who doesn't get a bigger picture here.
M: What... ~turns his eyes from Tulio to Chel and back. Tulio hunches over, furrowing his brows~
C: I want you to understand. It was foretold, that when two gods will arrive, the end of the world will come along... Unless one god rises against the other. If the vile god survives, the reality as we know it will come tumbling down. And if the righteous god wins, he will bring eternity of prosperity to this land... And the whole world. But to win and make sure that this place, and the rest of the realm, can be a paradise...
T: One must have the right mindset.
~Tulio stabs Miguel in the back. Miguel gasps and falls to his knees. He angrily stares up to Chel, as his mouth bleeds~
M: *_YOU..._*
C: ...Only wish to serve a righteous god. And you've chosen how you want this to unfold.
T: It didn't have to come to this. But in the end - there's only so much that a mortal man can do.
~Tulio steps over Miguel, who tries to grab his foot with last of his strength, as Tulio grabs his sun crown~
T: I rightly think I'm qualified
To come across all sanctified
C: To be seem holy, folk adhere his every wish
~Miguel's eye light fades, as Tulio puts on the sun crown, looking in the golden mirror~
T: The town's already on it's knees
~Tulio side-eyes in the mirror the last breath from Miguel, who looks horrified~
Being worshiped is a breeze
C: You are the sun that holds world in its' dish
~Chel comes from behind, her palm coming to cup Tulio's cheek and turn him to face her~
C: They should know, they must comply
With god's every wish and I
Know that you will bring smile to every face
~Switch to Tulio, in his godly clothes, approaching Tzekel-Kan's temple, Chel beside him, wearing similar, godly suit, with passing locals looking both scared and at awe~
T: I'm a god, the perks are great
Unearthly power on the plate
Hah, it's me whom they should have embraced
C: ~with breathy adoration~ Oh my God...
~Both make a grand entrance into the temple, as the power well blows up in a green cloud~
Together: It's great to be a god
Tread where mortals have not trod
C: ~grabs Tulio's palm~ Be deified, hold it all within your hand
Be an object of devotion
Be the subject of psalms
~Tulio pulls her close, looking longingly and lovingly in her eyes, as she does in his~
T: It's a very pleasant notion
All those prayers and those salaams
~They part, circling the well~
Any normal man would bridle
~Tulio kneels on one side of the well, with Chel coming down to her knees on the opposite side, they both look at each other, reaching for the well's filling~
If he's forced to be an idol
C: We're above it all and the rest be damned...
~Power swirls and snakes around their hands and spreads over their skin, turning them both to green glow, as their eyes glow even brighter than their bodies, the vision launches into Tulio's eye. We see him on the throne, with Chel by on another throne, both carried by the eldorados, overseeing the battlefield with spaniards. Tulio's singing is an inside voice, as his lips don't move in the vision~
T: All the same it's pretty plain
Power they cannot contain
They must bow or spill their blood for me
~Both Chel and Tulio make a hand gesture, as the ground under spaniards breaks and crumbles, with green light coming out and swallows their army~
C: But gods will that just unchains
Which breaks mountains, levels plains
~Vision swirls out of the Chel's eye, as they both float above ground, the glow dimming over their bodies, but stays in their eyes, as they reach out to each other and hold their hands together~
And it all belongs to us, you see
~Both come out of the temple, floating slightly above ground as they come through the city towards the main square, where Miguel is put down by Chieftain on a ceremonial slab, sorrowful and confused~
T: ~To Che~ Can't you see - they won't relax
C: We must show them all the facts
Prove to them you're all-powerful, sublime
~Tulio Shouts out to everyone, hand outstretched, glowing, as Miguel's body floats above ground, surrounded by the same glow~
T: From now on I'm your belief
C: ~To chieftain, her eyes aglow with a wicked smile~ You bow down, or perish Chief
Time has come for this nation's prime
~Chieftain, angry and bewildered, grabs club off his side, whispering enraged~
CT: Oh my... Ahk!
~As chieftain lunges, Tulio and Chel reach out their arms, making chieftain freeze in place, with him inaudibly screaming with glow coming out of his eyes and mouth, him withering quickly to a mummy-like husk~
Both: It's tough to be a god
When crowd can't seem to read your nod
T: ~Arrogantly looking at the crowd~ Count your blessings, keep gods sweet is my advice
C: We're nirvana, we're salvation
Both: We're all things to all men
Time to set next destination
~An explosion comes from the entrance cave, with Cortez coming in, holding the sword and at quiet, content awe of the place with his soldiers in toe, as Chel and Tulio turn towards them, at first confused, but then smile and look at each other, turning to the spaniards in full~
Tulio: The alternative is dire
~A massive green flame appears behind them, turning them in the eyes of the spaniards in two black shapes with green glowing eyes~
C: Simply frying pan to fire
~Spaniards, quite scared, ready their muskets, with Cortez defiantly raising his sword towards them, as both raise their arms and flame pulls up into a green flame pillar, rushing towards the spaniards~
Both: So sign on two new gods for paradise
~Green flame approaches the Cortez, as he flinches the last second, when it engulfs the whole spaniard group, with Tulio and Chel coming through that flame high above the city, glow of all the gold around turns green, with Tulio hugging Chel from behind around the waist, nudging face into her neck~

A masterpiece!! It makes me so happy to know I’m not alone when I imagine two different characters singing a warped version of an existing song-😂
@@gemfanclubyeah I agree 😊
Maybe not the best video to post this idea on 😓. Maybe one that is about the series
@@Fuhjcfffeewww quite possibly, but it's not like she posts often. And I get the 'aging anxiety' all too well. Turning 33 in about a month, so I have quite a bit on the plate as well
this is going to be fantastic!!! i can't wait!!!!!!!!!
this was beautiful, and normally feeling like other people know what I'm going through helps, but this was just a reminder of all the things that set off my manic depression ;_;
TOO relatable!
I love this song. I've had Gerascophobia since I have 7-8 years old and I relate to this so much. It's really a comforting song. Love you Lydia
I’m usually not that emotional over songs and videos, but today I found out my cat is sick, and I had to realize that he is already pretty old and might pass sooner then I was expecting it. So, realizing that once again while listening to this song kinda made me burst into tears. I’m sobbing right now and I am so scared of the passage of time I never wanted to pass so fast.
Thank you Lydia for taking _that_ emotion and making a piece of art out of it. It means a lot.
Replayed this at least 20 times so far I'll continue to it describes everything perfectly
I'm 21 and ever since Covid and my graduation from high school as the world reopens, time has been going too fast. I can hardly believe I'm in my fourth year of college but so few credits to prove it. I feel like I missed so much, like having a part-time job in high school so I have that experience, breaking my shell and making friends, and so much more. Growing up and looking bad is hard to see what you missed and regret, especially as you watch your younger siblings do these things. But time moves forward, and I should too.
Oh my freaking god! I love you and your voice and your songs! Like literally always so different and awesome and i just.......love you ❤❤❤❤
I'm so excited about this song
This song is so sad, but so well-written
Absolutely loved everything about this song from the lyrics,tone, and pacing just everything perfectly clicked together into one incredibly beautiful song
So true and relatable 😢❤
This was an amazing song. Fantastic job.
This hurts really bad because I was robbed of a childhood by my parents, and the song made me think of my older siblings, who had to raise me due to our parents lack of support, and how I'll likely outlive them. I'd hug my mother but with how many scars she gave me, any hug from her feels forced. I can really only hope that she changes for my younger siblings, that she'll change so I can actually mourn her when she's gone.
This video is a little relatable because most of the time im just happy- go -lucky with life but I also get afraid of what life will throw at me sometimes even when I get older I just don't think I'll be able to handle life once I get further into it but i had to tell myself that I'm powerful , and that I will get through life even my friends say that too that "you don't have to worry we'll be here with u and if you trip and fall pick yourself up" so yea❤ and also I loved this video I didn't expect this one to be animated but its still good who doesn't like animation anyway😊? ❤❤🧡🧡💚💚💚💚
My mom passed away this year when I was only 23...this song made me bawl my eyes out. Cherish your time, because you never know how much you've got left.
I agree; i've lost my grandparents a couple of years ago but i still miss them everyday but i know that they are proud of me; and i know your mum would be proud of you
oh hell yeah we're processing existential dread with this one
How dare you make me sob. I’ve lost my great-grandparent, half of my grandparents, and recently my pet bird (but not my parent), and this made me internally bawl. I hate how relatable this is.
I got to listen to this on my day off! I'm so happy! Great song!😊
This song almost had me in tears as the anniversary of my father's death is closing in. Hard to believe it's already been almost a year.
My mom: "Are you okay?"
Me: **crushing her with a hug** "I DON'T KNOW"
Omg it’s finally here I’ve been waiting 3 weeks for this
Thats the thing tho people tell me to cherish the time I have but whenever I do I just end up getting thrown into this cycle of worrying about what I might loose. And instead of cherishing it more becomes worrying about things I can't control which is pointless. So oftentimes I just try not to think about it.
Can't wait Lydia ❤
I'm so close to crying dude 😢 this song perfectly captures the feeling of having time pass too quickly while you're painfully aware of every second you're wasting.
I cried :’(
Congratulations. Your song made me cry. It's a rare thing.
Oh, my. I'm gonna go hug my mom.
Thank you. 💚
Man I can't even lie this song had me bawling like a baby. I'm 25 and and feel like time is moving way too fast and that I'm doing pretty much nothing much as it ticks down. My parents are older too (both of them in their early 60s) so the ending is a very real possibility for me currently (hopefully not anytime soon but still). Needless to say this song hit me hard, and I have to say beautiful work as always Lydia. ❤ Definitely made a song that so many people can relate to.
Lydia come on I just stopped crying from the last song but still amazing I love the end and countdown don’t take the people around you for granted
This is so true.
😭😭😭 so good but I am crying
Oh wow, just incredible
Oh okay, time to cry on a Saturday I guess!!
Beautiful 🥲
Why am I always crying when a mother is involved in a story 😢
I currently just started highschool. And this song is basically how i feel. 4 years before senior high, yet it feels like such a short time.
I feel really sad at the ending like it really hits my heart and I kinda relate to the lyrics and story of the song since I'm 23 years old now and really feeling like time is moving so fast
This hits deep for me being someone who just recently turned 24, graduated college last year, and is struggling to put her life together. 2019 doesn’t feel like it was 5 years ago. 2015 doesn’t feel like it 8-9 years ago. 2023 and 2024 feels like the same year. I can’t even tell the difference sometimes between the years 2020 and 2021. I can’t believe my niece is 11 years old. She was born when I started middle school. My Minecraft account is older than her😭
Have a wonderful day
