Ok... hear me out. This song. Coming of age movie. The main character is at their lowest point. They're running through the rain in the city at night sobbing. They are filled with so much sadness and anger and disappointment. Eventually they run onto a bridge and slam their body against the railing. Then, just as the song says "I see" and the beat drops they scream into the darkness of the night, only illuminated by the hundreds of city buildings across the river.
This.
@Kate Crawford Bro you need to make a movie
wow, This!!!!
Blanks needs to make a mv with this song
holy crap.
This song should be called "stranger" so people think it's about someone else but when they listen it's about themselves it will hit hard
100% and if he does more with this song, I thing it shouldn’t say “stranger in the mirror” right from the beginning. Make the first verse seem like it’s about someone else but then the line “I’m like a stranger to me” will hit even more.
This is the best idea ever.
Yesss
It calss stranger to me
Maybe even “Stranger to Me” because that wouldn’t necessarily give away the meaning of the song
That like to dislike ratio 👀
That’s actually impressive
Dam I just looked at that
if its exactly what the viewers want its hard for them to dislike it ;)
Wow Simon is just to cool like why would you dislike? Lol love him
Now we cant see it :)
if youre an artist you know the feeling making something you didnt know possible and you blow your own mind
ok let’s stop voting for “happy” and start voting “sad”
yes hahahahha
When he asks for "Happy" and "Sad" and then "Slow and "Fast" I've always wanted him to make a sad fast song
But we depressed :(
Aviation X Central oh sorry
upvote
This is a petition for more sad songs. Anyone else??
Yeeees
ngl I would like to see an album full of sad ballad of his songs. So I can cry peacefully
Yes definitely
Yesss
nonononononono,the best thing about blanks songs is the happiness
Sorry, getting real for a second but this song hit me hard.
Ive been going through a very harsh couple of months this past year. From losing my best friend, breaking up with the girl that i was planning to marry, losing all my passions, being diagnosed with a very shitty autoimmune disease, dropping out of university and losing all hope in my future and its plans due to said disease. Life has handed me these cards and ive been doing all i can to stay afloat. I've been feeling lost and alone for a long time now and this song felt like it touched all the subjects that mean something to me. It felt very personal.. But, at the same time it gives me hope to try and turn, and imagine it into a major song. It really is a beautiful piece,and i wouldn't change a thing. But, ill change its meaning for me in my head to make it better, to get better, to look back to this song and reflect on it with the good.
Thank you for making this.
“How is this happening”
Was the most relatable thing in this video. As a songwriter randomly get that lol
simon being shocked by his talent for 12 minutes straight
thats all of his videos lmao bless him
thats like 2/3 of his whole channel lmaoo
this is one of his best songs vocally, lyrically but also instrumentally ... i really am crying i need this on spotify
agreed
Agreed!! :)
AGREEED
I agree
Yes
THE TALENT THIS MAN HAS IS INCREDIBLE
we shouldn't be allowed to listen to this masterpiece for free. like what-
Nibbi chill
Imagine how proud his parents are.
aye
I wish I was him so my parents would be proud too ://
Stop wishing to be somebody else and making excuses, work on your self and make your parents proud
@@basharmina2345 you're right.

he literally just wakes up every day and is like ayo music time and just lays down an absolute BOP howww
Does anyone else wish he did more sad ballad songs... they just hit different

we experienced global pandemic before sad song from simon
He has written sad songs about heartbreaks and stuff. For example check out pictures!
Please do something like this again, this is my favourite song and it helped me so much to develop my own knowledge in music production.
how can one dude be so talented to make something like this its unreal and in seemingly such a short time too
Simon making a sad slow song really is a 2020 miracle.

A sentence that we refuse to admit that floating in our mind
lol it sounds like something Billie eilish would say
@@beaneater8775 the song sounds heavily inspired by billies old stuff anyway
__-no-__ mehhh
I really want to like your comment but the number ends in 69 :((
The moment you tense up when a melody comes. Its like we're scared its gonna slip away if we move. 🧲
I hope you're aware that you are one of the most talentet music producers in the world. I'm so amazed!
Blanks: writing a sad ballad
My brain: sallad
LMAO U WON THE COMMENT SECTION
Bad sallad?
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s my brain on a daily basis
Haha good good funny humor haha
what makes his videos better is that even himself is surprised with his capabilities of making music on the spot
maybe khs makes his music and he just narrats it 😁
Blanks you absolutely killed this, best thing you've done so far in every way. Will you ever go over how you mix? Your vocals are so clean
I keep coming back to this, i need more songs with this vibe
I'm back again lmao help
Lol hi
Guess who's back back again
@@callhimcurly7466 COME BACKKKK
@@mouses_HK ask and you shall recieve
Gonna watch this whole thing again
Like, don't get me wrong, everything that Simon makes slaps, but this is easily some of the best stuff I've heard from him for suuure
Absolutely!
It’s SO GOOD
Honestly this is so facts

@@lavenderhazestan Its nice because you dont have to skip to the song part
THAT HIT ME HARD! The second "'i'm like a stranger to me" OUCH! Soo heartfelt, with a sudden realisation that you don't even know who you are anymore! I'm in love with this song
01:24 Stranger Things vibes are pretty strong.
This Man is better than most of the Famous Singers. He deserves recognition. Hats off Man.
yo honestly he is
@@user-hj7ww7jh5o Yaas Yaas except Charlie Puth.
the truth has been said
I love how surprised he is by his own ability. It’s like the music is written through him but he’s not the one who’s doing it.
Totally agree with you there. As a songwriter I often find myself surprised with the things I write - like “where did this come from?” I think we (humans) are the vessel that carries music xx
Sounds like a song in itself
wow, just came back after 3 years, still hella slaps
it is absolutely crazy how universal the excitement of making music is - this is amazing lol

I keep coming back to this video from time to time and this time I’ve come to say this song completely inspired an entire album I’m working on and this style is brilliant so thank you blanks for making another masterpiece 🙏
i want to hear your music. where can i find it?
"my instagram followers write a song to cry to"
me drowning in my tears: "idk what he's talking about"
Simon: *is literally a super talented musician*
Also Simon: "how does this happen?!"
😂😂😂
Also pizza knife 😂😂
That original melody he sung and how he sung it; nearly sounded just like Nothing, Nowhere. (especially with that vibe and moving chords on the guitar)
Moral: the music just 'pops' up in your head, you dont think and write a song
When he says "how does this happen?!" I'm like
CAUSE YOURE FREAKING TALENTED MU DUDE!!
this is not talent, this is hard work my brotha

Okay, picture this.
I imagined him being mainstream and this song was played to start his world tour concert.
Goosebumps, it is.
I can't wait to see you become more successful, Simon. I swear I'm going to support you all the way.
Same!! Halfway through the song i just thought "hes going to go so far"
I will definitely scream my throat out the moment he sings this in his concert!!!
stardustxflower and everyone else who participated, yall are legends
This song sounds like what it feels like to lose all your friends after you come out…thank you *adds to every playlist*
When is this going to Spotify. Going on my playlist immediately
alternative title: simon getting excited about his synth for 13 minutes
would you watch that tho???
@@MusicbyBlanks yes we would hahaha
Music by Blanks definitely!!!
Music by Blanks yes always
we would certainly like that
im so glad less people chose option 1 at the beginning
I just found these Instagram songs by you and they're amazing! This song gave me chills. Incredible work!
It's finally here. The sad song we all asked for
exactlyyyyy
As a musician, that flow state of writing is one of the best feelings ever.
wish i could find mine
Lil Fisch6 listen to your favorite artist while writing and write it physically either in a notebook or lined paper
This is just Amazing. The music. The instruments. The lyrics. The passion. Everything...

"You can't write a sad song while being happy!"
Blanks: Hold my BASS
Edit: thank you for the likes my friends.
But if u think, he wrote a song, with a lot of people together, maybe those people are sad :(
ビスポCiel WOW never thought of it that way but it might be true :(
i remember first finding this channel when he did the first style switch. i fell in love with the vibes and musical inspriation. you're the reason i've started working on making music and what a challenge it has been. i dont know if i just somehow forgot to subscribe but somewhere along the way, i forgot about this channel. and its been like 3 years since ive seen one of these videos. im so glad that youtube is recommending videos from years ago, because im reminded of the inspiration and pure joy i felt while watching these videos. im feeling inspired again and empowered by the incredible artistry and musical talent. im so excited for the present and future of the videos and music that come from this channel.
Your drive and absolute love for music is beautiful.
Imagine this in spotify,
Blanks - Stranger.
I NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY RIGHT NOW
What about 'stranger to me'? :3
I like “Stranger In The Mirror”
def stranger to me
hb 'like a stranger'
This guy is the definition of a one man band
it's awesome seeing someone so hyped and excited about their own creation. i want to feel that.
Coming back to this video after a year.. I’ve never stopped listening to the song since then. It has changed me. It’s honestly a masterpiece and one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. Such beautiful lyrics that paint such a clear picture of that feeling and so emotional. Just Thank you 🙏🏻 Never stop.
He's so talented and this song could actually hit the charts
Frrr I believe it
Make this a claim your ticket before 100 million views
Cause he deserves that
YES, I always feel like a proud mom
"Sad ballad" is everything my soul wants to write :o Instant click.
I literally can't describe how you're living my biggest dream of talent, skills, abilities and everything that comes with music. Creativity. I just love this whole video and as a musician myself I just love the whole process. I watched it more than 5 times already just dreaming i can make such a masterpiece someday. You're doing an amazing job man! And thanks for inspiring me for improving more and more.
Woah, thank you so much for the kind words!! Keep it up!!
i couldn't stop imagining seeing this live in SUCH a surreal moment. but ofc it will be a whiiiile till he comes to latam
for ages i’ve been imagining the crowd singing “oooooh hold me don’t let goooooo i want you to know” before the beet drop in higher like broooo i’m so excited to see him live
This is Hands-down the best song you have ever made
agreed
oh ye, but bittersweet is still my fav
Yeah but like
Bittersweet love
i'm not a psychologist - i know very little about how brains work but my therapist told me that it *hurts* when you go through big changes and growth. This past year we all went through a growth like no other - we are literally at the turning point of human history and it fucking hurts like a bitch feeling everyone grow this much at the same time. I hope we can all get through it with a bit of crying and a lot of picking ourselves back up. Take as much time as you need, as long as you're getting through it!
Wow, bro, you have so much talent, I have a lot of respect for you man, you are truely an inspiration for aspiring musicians. I can see this song doing a lot more good for people than you may have at first realised, I can see it helping people when they are going through anything that has had a seriously negative impact on them mentally and physically, I also have a lot of respect for the rest of the people who contributed to this song, because you didn’t just write a song, you wrote emotions. This song has much deeper meaning than it seem at first, I love talking about the sort of stuff that this song is about and about humanity and all that, I could sit and talk on a podcast for hours about it or write hundreds of words in the comments here.
this guy is the living representation of my dream job
SAME, but no one really likes my singing:(

How has he not blowed up yet?!? One of the most underrated artists out there
Because he hasn't signed to a corporation, which is how most musicians we know today got big. (some people think you have to sign off your soul as well so I guess it's a good thing he hasn't?)
Hes definitely not underrated, he has 1.2m subs and his vids get tons of support hows that underrated like
@@NeonHeadlights i think she meant cause his songs haven’t hit the charts or that he hasn’t been spoken out about like other artists . He definitely should though since the way he writes his songs are incredible unique and different in a way . one of the best artists out there
he’s not gd, watch ichika
lol 1.2 million subs that’s not enough?
i knew this song before i came here and immediately recognised it :) i love it!
it’s really interesting to see the process of how it was made
As a beat maker I love the whole creative process. This is now one of my favorite videos.
Sounds like something that can be in a Netflix show
