This video is really strange for me to watch. I feel like my day job is this elastic band holding me back from entering exactly the same kind of lifestyle, and I'm always pulled slightly into it (each weekend) before being pulled back. If I even become a full time TH-camr this will instantly be me.
Australian nights are even better than the uk cause we have such hot days that the cool night feels like a different world. Your probably in the eastern states in a city bigger and more lively than me but here in Perth, once you leave the very center the night becomes a quiet bliss.
Going to school at night hits differently. Dark, silent corridors that you have ever only seen lit up with loads of people walking around. Kinda spooky. Walking along roads without seeing a person or vehicle for 30 minutes, just silence under the moon light. Feels good.
that's why i always loved my extra classes that took place extra late, everyone would be gone, and it was dead quiet. School seemed more fun. Plus it was always the funniest/ more interesting class that took place at that time. fun stuff
My campus feels really like a hospital at night, some parts are too spooky. But the wifi is always on, I would sometimes stay until 10 PM to use the wifi. I am not all alone, there will be like another 4 students using the wifi.
I live in detroit and I walk at night all the time. Don't look like a victim and they leave you alone. It's not quiet like this video tho. Theres always crazy sounds, people yelling, sirens.
That's exactly what I needed. After watching "Simpler things in life"a million times, a video of you talking and walking (twalking?) is going to fill that part of me that wants to hear stories around a fire at night, when there are no campfires around.
This is amazing. When I was going around Tokoyo with a train, I looked out the window and wondered "is there actually stuff beyond these walls that I see? If I were to stop here and walk inside that building, would the insides of it be rendered, or just empty textureless void?".
it's funny how much video games actually confine you while so many people brag about a game giving you a ton of imagination and freedom, it barely gives you any at all there's nothing stopping you from entering the lobby of a hotel, walking around the halls, going up and down the elevator, and then leaving but in a game, you can't even open the doors, and if you could, then the lobby is all that is accessible, but if there is more such as walkable hallways and usable elevators, then it's not a game with a hotel, it's a game about a hotel
@@jockeyfield1954 i think what people mean when they talk about games giving freedom is social rules being absent or different in a game. One can go into a random hotel if they want to, but it would be awkward at best, and trespassing at worst (I don't know what exact situation could lead to it, but it's a possibility); if this were to happen in a game, it wouldn't be a huge problem because of the fsct that games are different from out real life, so what we do in a game has no consequences in respect to our real life. But your point is correct, the real world is objectively a lot more freedom-centric than any game can practically hope to become
@@Ethiixx if he wanted something from this video he would make it 8 minutes, views are useless and I dont think he gets massive ego from virtual number.
This is tear inducing. Just something about the loneliness of the night, walking about to see the oddities of civilisation at night, while Phillip talks about nighttime experiences, it all whells up my eyes.There's something hauntingly beautiful about this video. Thank you Phillip. You made my day.
When I was at Bangor Uni I would go to the docks at 2am, the security guard wouldn't mind, letting you wander among the boats. Hearing people return from clubs in the distance, the water lapping against the concrete, silently passing the odd dog walker. It was the perfect respite from a stressful day of studying or an argument some flatmates were having. Some of my favourite moments of reflection.
@@Martin-gh6eq Think you're right there. Wouldn't be surprised if Uncle Phil Zucc'd this comment. I wouldn't be annoyed either, this whole pantomime must have been rather taxing for him.
@@albanui6354 I take it the other way and think he's probably enjoyed being an observer of his own drama. He's not engrossed himself in it spewing garbage like the other party but has instead taken a step back documented the whole process in hilarious fashion. If the drama continues naturally by people still expressing their take I think he'd be happy to continue observing. At least I hope so, I'm not one for following drama myself but have been fascinated by how Phil has reacted to being thrown into the middle of it.
@@kliksphilip I agree completely, your content on the matter has been nothing but clear and concise summarising the events that have happened. While it has been frustrating to see those words twisted into entirely new meanings I have been very impressed with how you have kept your cool. I'm not sure how well I would have coped in your situation, though thanks to your videos, I now feel that you have set a very good example to follow. It was nice to see you poking a little fun at the matter on twitter though, after all, it is quite funny to see such an overreaction on their part.
"...a dream can paint a more beautiful picture than the reality is based upon ever can." Another entry to add to "3kliksphilip's timeless quotes" EDIT' thank you @Sandy Ross and @Parth Patel for telling me I missed a word!
I think this is my favorite video on this channel. Theres something so calming talking about an experience thats both very personal and universal. I wish I could bring myself to go to bed at 7 in the evening to wake up right when the sun is about to rise. Hopefully we get a sequel some day!
I really like how you can convey your emotions and thoughts in this short of a video. I also love how I can resonate with you more than most "internet people" as you describe your topics in such a "normal" way. You're not trying to stir up as much attention as you can. You just talk about what you like and think about and I can only appreciate this. Cheers :)
Thanks for the video, Philip. And as for the bit about sharing the moment with someone, I had once shared a similar moment with a friend. We were trekking along a canyon forest and came upon a cliffside that overlooks most of the path. And at that very moment, everything went silent. No hikers around, no birds, no insects - complete and utter silence, which washed me with a sense of serenity. We just sat there for a good few minutes. No words were shared. We didn't even have each other within out vision. We just sat there and be in the moment. Having someone else with you lets you know that what you experienced was real.
best thing is to be alone with someone else, i feel like most extroverts dont know what i mean, but most introverts would agree, being close to someone you like but for both of you to be in your own thoughts, i think that is what you meant by wanting to share the moments of the first light of the sun
It's a real form of companionship. Playing games, drinking, and talking with your friends in a group is a good sign of a friendship, but being able to just *be* around someone without open discussion is an indescribable experience. It's like being with a significant other and being able to sit in silence but still love each other's company.
I have been waiting for this type of video for SO LONG. I absolutely loved watching "The Simpler Things in Life". In fact, that video solely created my desire to try to write down, document, and record the mundane and random aspects of my life. I mostly really love the videos like the ASDA ones, stuff you posted back 6-7 years ago. Stuff like the walks with Vexxie also gives me a feel of nostalgia like any other: it doesn't feel like an old forgotten memory, more like a warm fuzzy feeling. Just like you, I remember to talk a walk around my house and look at nooks and crannies every few months to see how it is. Ever since the virus, I've had zero motivation to go outside. A few weeks ago, I finally decided to go take a walk to a park, and just filmed it. Nothing out of the ordinary, but I think that the 30 minutes of silent walking is what I'll think about. I used to go to that park constantly when I was in elementary school.
I used to do the same when I was at uni in Plymouth. You walked past my old uni house in this as well. Its so odd being able to relive it all through this video as there is something weirdly peaceful about plymouth at night.
You live in a marvelous city. I felt it's atmosphere engulf me even in a daylight lit room, through a monitor. Also the seagull's song aroused my winter-slumbering love for sea. Thank you
I don't think I've ever understood a video as deeply as this one. I think I first got this feeling playing counter strike, as I'd load up maps and play against bots. Sometimes I'd just stare at the skyboxes and wonder what it'd be like if the map extended that far, into the distant mountains or towns. Overwatch was even better, because their maps are so detailed and thought provoking. Of course, as with real life, it's never as interesting as you imagined when you actually get there, but just staring and enjoying that feeling of longing and excitement is wonderful. Even staring at areas I've been to outside village that are a significant distance distance away can make them feel completely new and captivating. I've always dreamed about meeting another weirdo that enjoys exploring during the night on one of my walks in my village or uni campus / city, just to hear them talk about their own experience. But like you said, I honestly don't think it's the same with someone else, and you lose out on the quiet time alone where you get to think. Plus I'm probably more likely to end up stabbed to death approaching someone at night before I do anyways. I don't feel like I've explained myself properly or fully, but I hope whoever is reading understands what I mean.
Now I live in a different city from when I first commented, it's not as entertaining to explore. But I do live very close to the waterfront, and it gives me a direct view of another town on the other side of the water. When I go at night, I get to look at all the lights lit up, the little car headlights moving through the darkness and disappearing every so often, and I can see the feint outline of the hills. I can literally stare at it for hours. I don't know if I ever even want to cross the bridge and explore the area because it's far more entertaining not knowing and imagining what it's like, what people are doing. Because it's probably the same as my city. Either way it's beautiful, I hope in the future when I move again I get to live somewhere that's really special to explore. If I do I'll be sure to come back to this video.
I love these videos about your walks, daily routines, CSGO stories and game making journey series. It gives me this weird nostalgic feeling about things I never even experienced.
The question "what lies around the next corner?" Is pretty much ingrained in human instinct/psyche. It is what drives us all to explore and what drove us as a species to conquer the world. Everyone will feel the "what lies around the next corner?" At least Once in their lifetime, some more than others. And I can't get enough of it! Thanks for telling an amazing story, Phillip!
sonder n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own-populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries, and inherited craziness from the dictionary of obscure words
I went to plymouth uni & seeing you walk these streets which hold so many memories has brought on a wave of emotions I wasn't expecting. I spent so much time walking those same streets with friends I haven't seen in years. A bit like thinking of being remote, I sometimes think of being back in Plymouth away from life. Away from responsiblities as back as student. Miss those days.
I feel the same way, I love walking around at night. It is almost like exploring a new but familiar world. This really reminded me about an interview from one of my favourite poets (crudely translated): “I write mostly at night. Because of the calm, because of the darkness that kind of leans in towards the window. It's almost as if the window is about to break. And one's living room is like an illuminated cell surrounded by darkness. At night, you dream. At night, you can sometimes sense some possibilities for something different. At night, you wait for the next day and what it can bring you. It is something about anticipation and hints and the dreams that are suppressed during the day. You feel more powerful or in possession of the ability to create something. You can go for a walk on the streets and there is not a human being around for several kilometers. The city is on a break, it's totally dead. And you can go for a walk and sense how the next day could be a totally new day where the world could be completely changed. It's almost like time stands still at night. - Michael Strunge”
At my hometown it's hard to walk at night without getting robbed, i remember when i traveled to beach outside of summer and could enjoy waking up before sunrise and walk in the beach just feeling the wind and enjoying the moments.
What a Beautiful Video. Sonder is the Feeling of acknowledging every Passerby have their Unique Life, as vivid, complex, and real as your own. Such Ideas, paired with Intuition and Curiosity, create the Most Fulfilling of Perspectives. This is Motive enough to flip your entire Routine and run out.. in the dark.. alone and Watch.
There was something different about this video, the atmosphere or feel or something. Then I realized that you hadn't put music in the background like usual, and that definitely added to the silent spooky yet interesting vibe I was getting from watching this.
Best part for me is seeing rooms lit up in an array of colors by a TV or monitor and seeing someone with nothing else on their mind but what they are engulfing in.
I started watching Phillip seven years ago, to learn more about CS, while learning English in the process. Seven years later, i watch these beautiful, relatable videos that have nothing to do with CS. Thank you Phillip.
I can relate to this. Recently I have found myself wandering around in the city I live in in the middle of the night, walking across empty roads, exploring old and new streets, parks and public spaces, every now and then. Always exciting, but at the same time a calm and peaceful time to reflect on things
These clips seem magical to me. Especially the one at 2:53. The distant cold light piercing through the mist is mesmerizing. I have watched most of your videos on this channel by now and the ones that have got something to do with nightly walks are my favourites. One day I'll finally go on a trip the British Isles and experience these nightly moments of peace myself. It will be amazing to finally visit a foreign country that I actually understand the language of. Sadly, the motorcylce trip that I planned to celebrate my graduation last year didn't come to fruition.
I've often walked around cities at night in a similar fashion, mostly Bristol after having enough of a party but not being tired enough to sleep. I enjoyed just walking around and watching people. Woods have their own strange attraction in the dark too. The sounds the mice make as you walk past, the sudden jumps of a dear frightened by you being near or meeting someone else and wondering if they also buried a body and whether they're thinking the same thing.
I also do this. There's such a comforting feeling walking around at night, the world doesn't seem so big and expansive, you can only see what's nearby and well-lit. It's like an art display where certain things have lights on them and that's what you're meant to focus on.
Probably one of your most beautifully shot, beautifully written, and wonderfully cozy videos on this channel yet! I feel like this will be up there with "The Simpler Things in Life," as one of the Kliksphillip I always come back to in order to find comfort and peace
Holy shit philip this video was amazing, like im not a literature type or studying english but this felt like poetry in a video. Like the way you talk about the beauty in the everyday. I really hope you post more vids like this. Also this really reminds me of the poem 'tuft of flowers' by robert frost. I recommend you give it a read
Man, the combination of your music, voice, footage, and most of all your ability to articulate your inner thoughts makes for some special videos. Personally, I never understand how people get bored. I feel completely content with myself, my thoughts, and my hobbies- constantly thinking about topics as simple as my next Minecraft build or as complicated as philosophy and religion. I feel that you are the same; you find interest in the simple things in life that others often take for granted or overlook. I hope you continue making videos like these.
I remember watching your old vlogs from probably 2013 going on night walks and you inspired me to start. It had a great impact on me almost like meditation and for that I thank you.
This video is poetry. In the summer of 2019 I used to run at night to avoid the highest temperatures. And regardless of day or night I would often run places I'd never been before, just choosing randomly what path to pick at every crossing. Even as a young man with a headlamp, the woods at night are all caps TERRIFYING. All the sounds you hear, how little you see and the occasional hyper reflective eyes of wild animals staring back at you. Combine this with the slight trance/high you get from long distance running and you'll experience a kind of primal feeling that most people probably go their entire lives without experiencing. In 2020 I stopped running because with the pandemic there were no more races to work towards. And I had TOTALLY forgotten this feeling right up until the moment I watched this video. It's not even quite the same thing as what you describe but the footage combined with your choice of words just put me right back into that place. I hope you still read comments because I want you to know that this vid had an effect on me like very few other pieces of media ever
I remember watching this video when it came our not being to do such things because of time schedules ect but now i see it again years later and realize this is some of the most comforting stuff to do
I can relate to that feeling. Leaving after 8 and going home at night is such a nice feeling. Sometimes I go to the park and exercise there and since no one is usually at the park I can use whatever equipment I want! Tho it does become mundane after walking the same route. So I pick different ones. There is one optimal path to my house but I usually take a way longer one
"I like to be alone, I like to be the observer. I like to let my imagination fill in the gaps because a dream can paint a more beautiful picture than the reality its based upon ever can." ... I'm speechless I did not know other people felt the same way as I do so often. thank you for sharing your view of the world
I used to be scared of the night, scared of what lays in the shadows. So scared I wouldn't leave my room at night unless the lights were left on. At some point I started to push myself, I'd go outside at night to put rubbish in the bins, the used to be the scariest part of the day but I grew to look forward to it. I took walks around in the evening and I'd get home right when it got dark. I love the night, the eeriness and the atmosphere isn't found anywhere else in the world. The night still scares me and that's the feeling I love. Not knowing who is out at this time, what animals I might come across. It's an amazing feeling that just can't be described with words. Yet, you described it perfectly with this video
Ever get caught in the rain while walking, but then just decide, "Fuck it, I'll just walk through the rain," and then find it surprisingly nice and peaceful? Kinda reminds me of walking at night.
I don't usually comment on videos, but like others this really struck a chord with me. Of course we all take something a bit different away from this video, but I'd like to share what it evoked in me. We really interact with the world differently at night, don't we? This reminds me of when I used to work late, and get out around midnight. I lived in a more ruralish area, so everyone drove, but it would've been nicer if I could've walk. But if I had the next day off, I'd stop at a gas station for a drink and snack, and just drive around. Didn't really matter where, just driving around with all my windows down and I'd sometimes listen to my favorite local college radio station, whatever silly program they had on at that hour, but more often than not, just the sounds of the night were enough. The crickets, the frogs, random animal sounds (the occasional spooky fox scream), the wind moving through my car. I loved driving by a creek, or an especially dense tunnel of trees, the damp and cool feeling the air had. There's not really anything that can replicate that feeling to me. Currently I live in a city where I don't feel comfortable walking around in (at least not my neighborhood), but I still walk and explore when I can. It's something that I should do more of. Like you said in your video, just let my mind and its imagination wander, no real inhibitions, no worries/anxieties about life. It's times like those where I feel the most at ease and comfortable with myself. Phil, if you do by chance read this, I want to say please and I mean please never change to appease someone else. I have an immense respect for how you approach youtube, how your videos are. Whether it's more personal experiences like this video, or discussing a CS:GO topic. I really do wish more people shared thoughts/experiences like the ones in this video. As silly/cliche as it sounds, I sincerely believe it's things like this that truly make us human. Our innate sense of curiosity, and powerful endless imagination. Connecting with the environment, world, universe that we live in.
The night will always have a special place for me. As a kid, when my dad was bringing me back from late dinners with his friends, I would always prefer to walk a bit on the fresh night, a place I could not go in normal times, where everything looked so different from usual. I think the night is kind of another world, where everything is the same but in an really apeasing way. A place where I can trully be on my own, after a long day of exhausting social interactions. I can finally stop thinking and just enjoy the calm and the fresh air. There is so much to say about night, those with friends, the sad ones, the ones during summer or with a stunning starry sky. The ones at home or miles away from it. Thanks for this amazing video Philip and please keep going :)
It wasn't until I started waking up at 4am for work that I realised just how differnt the world can be at such an early hour. There's no more beautiful time than when the first glimmer of light breaches the horison. Very few, if any, people are about. Nothing but your footsteps or the few birds tweeting to break the silence.
Everything you usually associate with day time seen at night feels weird but in a good way. Stuff like parks or as you said car parks or closed shops or idk something else I cant think of right now.
you put it into words, no one I've ever lived around or with never understood why I like being awake at night so much, its so peaceful, its not overly stimulating, its the hours that everyone seeks shelter from what I consider to be my prime time.
I had this experience back when I was in London. The comparason, between the streets full of people in daylight and the empitness of the night was far beyond words. It was a sense of freedom that I have, the city streets just for myself to enjoy, the quietness of the Tames and the smell of nothing but...well...not the most refreshing air but at least less saturated. It makes me feel a little bit of envy towards Phillip the fact that now more then ever, night-walking in Argentina is quite dangerous, even in the little city that I live. I´ve always like to walk at night, but it never felt the same as with London. Perhaps was the security I felt, the feeling of beeing in an unseen place, or something else.
I loved to wake up 7a.m. in the morning during my high school times, in winter season, and appreciate the same path to my school now bath in dim darkness instead of the morning sun. The atmosphere was completely different, like I wasn't going to school as usual, where do I need to go and why I'm up when it doesn't seem like morning... It was my imagination trying to process but still enjoying the "change" of scene. But what blew me away in combination with the dark mornings of winter at the same hour was the fog and mist or morning drizzles I encounter the moment I open the door.... This little natural phenomenons made my forget the tireness and sleepiness and full me with sense of adventure, scaning my surrondings for an unusual presence. Those were the coolest memories of my long walks to school in the morning :)
I know exactly the feeling you’re talking about when I go to a new place. Like the feeling of going into Skyrim for the first time.endless possibilities
sometimes stepping back to just appreciate small things like the stars in the sky or a street down the road youve always wnated to walk down just makes life more interesting
I've been pretty lonly the past couple of months, but I'll take advantage of this and use my liberty of being alone now to go out on an adventure in the middle of the night.
your introspection clearly touches so many people, its so validating to know other people have these dreams of a remote existence, and how that feeling is recreated at night. it's 5am now, and even just in my room it's transformed into this freeing, curious plane.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one who feels like this when walking outside at night. I mean, I knew I wasn't, the answer to "am I the only one-" is always no, but it's still nice to hear it directly. One of the reasons I have thousands of hours in Gmod is because I would download a ton of maps and explore them, because it gave me a similar feeling. The feeling of being alone, but not (too) lonely.
For me the night walk experience is not mysterious but a nostalgic trip through my home town. I come from a small country town where I have grown up my entire life. Every street has memories of my childhood, like my elementary school, or the parks me and my friends played at as kids. I've walked the same dozen streets hundreds of times but they only deepen my connection to home. (Also the stars in the night sky are 👌, city folk just won't understand) Recently I've started going for night walks with my dad and its made me realize that once I move away, the time we spend together will drastically decrease. Make sure you appreciate the good times while you are in them!
This video speaks to me on personal levels. At night, everything seems more interesting. It's empty, and I feel more wonder than I would've when just walking in the daytime. I also feel a tinge of excitement. I feel the same type of excitement, awe, and fear from space. Maybe that's why I like sci-fi. Its appeal to me is tenfold when I see pictures taken of space and I feel genuine awe of what's out there. It has the same characteristic of the feeling I get when just exploring the same places under a different set of lighting and circumstances, having new eyes for the things you glance over in less than a second. It's honestly an overwhelming and mostly indescribable feeling.
this is exatly why you're one of my favourite people on this platform, you talk about everyday things that are not talked about, discussed and appreciated enough. amazing content as always :)
I once pulled an all nighter studying for a calculus test. I decided to take a well earned break and ride my bike around my suburb as the sun was rising. There is a ambience you pick up on while being alone in public in the middle of the night. It's like the source code of everything is readable for once and everything makes sense.

He's not engrossed himself in it spewing garbage like the other party but has instead taken a step back documented the whole process in hilarious fashion. If the drama continues naturally by people still expressing their take I think he'd be happy to continue observing. At least I hope so, I'm not one for following drama myself but have been fascinated by how Phil has reacted to being thrown into the middle of it.
His twitch chat is even worse
@@kliksphilip I agree completely, your content on the matter has been nothing but clear and concise summarising the events that have happened. While it has been frustrating to see those words twisted into entirely new meanings I have been very impressed with how you have kept your cool. I'm not sure how well I would have coped in your situation, though thanks to your videos, I now feel that you have set a very good example to follow. It was nice to see you poking a little fun at the matter on twitter though, after all, it is quite funny to see such an overreaction on their part.

EDIT' thank you @Sandy Ross and @Parth Patel for telling me I missed a word!
You forgot a word
Just to complete it, * beautiful picture....
anyone wondering this is last line of the video
I think this is my favorite video on this channel. Theres something so calming talking about an experience thats both very personal and universal. I wish I could bring myself to go to bed at 7 in the evening to wake up right when the sun is about to rise. Hopefully we get a sequel some day!
I really like how you can convey your emotions and thoughts in this short of a video. I also love how I can resonate with you more than most "internet people" as you describe your topics in such a "normal" way. You're not trying to stir up as much attention as you can. You just talk about what you like and think about and I can only appreciate this. Cheers :)
Thanks for the video, Philip.
And as for the bit about sharing the moment with someone, I had once shared a similar moment with a friend. We were trekking along a canyon forest and came upon a cliffside that overlooks most of the path. And at that very moment, everything went silent. No hikers around, no birds, no insects - complete and utter silence, which washed me with a sense of serenity. We just sat there for a good few minutes. No words were shared. We didn't even have each other within out vision. We just sat there and be in the moment. Having someone else with you lets you know that what you experienced was real.
my favourite video of yours used to be The Simpler Things in Life but it i think its now this one
This one is definitely up there.
God klikshilip1 could be watching me gaming at night, that is truly horrifying experience... I will never game again.
best thing is to be alone with someone else, i feel like most extroverts dont know what i mean, but most introverts would agree, being close to someone you like but for both of you to be in your own thoughts, i think that is what you meant by wanting to share the moments of the first light of the sun
It's a real form of companionship. Playing games, drinking, and talking with your friends in a group is a good sign of a friendship, but being able to just *be* around someone without open discussion is an indescribable experience. It's like being with a significant other and being able to sit in silence but still love each other's company.
I have been waiting for this type of video for SO LONG. I absolutely loved watching "The Simpler Things in Life". In fact, that video solely created my desire to try to write down, document, and record the mundane and random aspects of my life. I mostly really love the videos like the ASDA ones, stuff you posted back 6-7 years ago. Stuff like the walks with Vexxie also gives me a feel of nostalgia like any other: it doesn't feel like an old forgotten memory, more like a warm fuzzy feeling.
Just like you, I remember to talk a walk around my house and look at nooks and crannies every few months to see how it is. Ever since the virus, I've had zero motivation to go outside. A few weeks ago, I finally decided to go take a walk to a park, and just filmed it. Nothing out of the ordinary, but I think that the 30 minutes of silent walking is what I'll think about. I used to go to that park constantly when I was in elementary school.
I used to do the same when I was at uni in Plymouth. You walked past my old uni house in this as well. Its so odd being able to relive it all through this video as there is something weirdly peaceful about plymouth at night.
You live in a marvelous city. I felt it's atmosphere engulf me even in a daylight lit room, through a monitor. Also the seagull's song aroused my winter-slumbering love for sea.
Thank you
Cry of fear recreates this feeling very well

I don't think I've ever understood a video as deeply as this one. I think I first got this feeling playing counter strike, as I'd load up maps and play against bots. Sometimes I'd just stare at the skyboxes and wonder what it'd be like if the map extended that far, into the distant mountains or towns. Overwatch was even better, because their maps are so detailed and thought provoking. Of course, as with real life, it's never as interesting as you imagined when you actually get there, but just staring and enjoying that feeling of longing and excitement is wonderful. Even staring at areas I've been to outside village that are a significant distance distance away can make them feel completely new and captivating.
I've always dreamed about meeting another weirdo that enjoys exploring during the night on one of my walks in my village or uni campus / city, just to hear them talk about their own experience. But like you said, I honestly don't think it's the same with someone else, and you lose out on the quiet time alone where you get to think. Plus I'm probably more likely to end up stabbed to death approaching someone at night before I do anyways. I don't feel like I've explained myself properly or fully, but I hope whoever is reading understands what I mean.
Update, I found somebody to walk with :--)
Also Phillip this is still your best video imo
Now I live in a different city from when I first commented, it's not as entertaining to explore. But I do live very close to the waterfront, and it gives me a direct view of another town on the other side of the water. When I go at night, I get to look at all the lights lit up, the little car headlights moving through the darkness and disappearing every so often, and I can see the feint outline of the hills. I can literally stare at it for hours. I don't know if I ever even want to cross the bridge and explore the area because it's far more entertaining not knowing and imagining what it's like, what people are doing. Because it's probably the same as my city. Either way it's beautiful, I hope in the future when I move again I get to live somewhere that's really special to explore. If I do I'll be sure to come back to this video.
I love these videos about your walks, daily routines, CSGO stories and game making journey series. It gives me this weird nostalgic feeling about things I never even experienced.
The philosophy of this gentle Brit is an absolute pleasure. This video is going in my favorites list.
Philip this video is amazing, i love your philosophic talks!
I came here for a secont watch
Unfortunately, i wouldn't dare wander my neighbourhood in the middle of the night. Way too sketchy. But hopefully i can try this one day. Great video
_YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIVE_ :DDD
Oh my god, I'm not the only one! I love walking around at night when no one is around!
The question "what lies around the next corner?" Is pretty much ingrained in human instinct/psyche. It is what drives us all to explore and what drove us as a species to conquer the world.
Everyone will feel the "what lies around the next corner?" At least Once in their lifetime, some more than others.
And I can't get enough of it!
Thanks for telling an amazing story, Phillip!
I'm glad I live somewhere where I can feel relatively safe walking around at night
living in a 3rd world country sucks

n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own-populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries, and inherited craziness
from the dictionary of obscure words
Visiting school at night for parent's evening is one of my favorite vibes
I went to plymouth uni & seeing you walk these streets which hold so many memories has brought on a wave of emotions I wasn't expecting. I spent so much time walking those same streets with friends I haven't seen in years. A bit like thinking of being remote, I sometimes think of being back in Plymouth away from life. Away from responsiblities as back as student. Miss those days.
I feel the same way, I love walking around at night. It is almost like exploring a new but familiar world. This really reminded me about an interview from one of my favourite poets (crudely translated):
“I write mostly at night. Because of the calm, because of the darkness that kind of leans in towards the window. It's almost as if the window is about to break.
And one's living room is like an illuminated cell surrounded by darkness. At night, you dream.
At night, you can sometimes sense some possibilities for something different. At night, you wait for the next day and what it can bring you.
It is something about anticipation and hints and the dreams that are suppressed during the day.
You feel more powerful or in possession of the ability to create something.
You can go for a walk on the streets and there is not a human being around for several kilometers. The city is on a break, it's totally dead.
And you can go for a walk and sense how the next day could be a totally new day where the world could be completely changed.
It's almost like time stands still at night. - Michael Strunge”
Love the storytelling of this Video... I also Love night walks 💜
At my hometown it's hard to walk at night without getting robbed, i remember when i traveled to beach outside of summer and could enjoy waking up before sunrise and walk in the beach just feeling the wind and enjoying the moments.
What a Beautiful Video.
Sonder is the Feeling of acknowledging every Passerby have their Unique Life, as vivid, complex, and real as your own.
Such Ideas, paired with Intuition and Curiosity, create the Most Fulfilling of Perspectives. This is Motive enough to flip your entire Routine and run out.. in the dark.. alone and Watch.
There was something different about this video, the atmosphere or feel or something. Then I realized that you hadn't put music in the background like usual, and that definitely added to the silent spooky yet interesting vibe I was getting from watching this.
2:55 That reminds me of looking at all the cars on the highway. I see the faces of the occupants, and it's great to wonder who they are.
This is a top tier youtube videos like the Jordan one. His videos are far better than 90% of those unlimited budget documentaries.
1:00 are these the stair you ran with the keyboard? :p
Thanks philip you really made my day, love you
Best part for me is seeing rooms lit up in an array of colors by a TV or monitor and seeing someone with nothing else on their mind but what they are engulfing in.
I started watching Phillip seven years ago, to learn more about CS, while learning English in the process. Seven years later, i watch these beautiful, relatable videos that have nothing to do with CS. Thank you Phillip.
Imagine a whole book about this!
Wow this video gave me some really warm thoughts and peacefulness...
I love these clips. The colors, lights and scenery is all lovely to look at.I hope you share more of these in the future.
These are my favourite kinds of videos on this channel. Thank you.
Philip Dyer, the Dark Knight of Plymouth.
I can relate to this.
Recently I have found myself wandering around in the city I live in in the middle of the night, walking across empty roads, exploring old and new streets, parks and public spaces, every now and then.
Always exciting, but at the same time a calm and peaceful time to reflect on things
Now i live in fear that philip will somehow find my house and photograph my window when im gaming
These clips seem magical to me. Especially the one at 2:53. The distant cold light piercing through the mist is mesmerizing.
I have watched most of your videos on this channel by now and the ones that have got something to do with nightly walks are my favourites.
One day I'll finally go on a trip the British Isles and experience these nightly moments of peace myself. It will be amazing to finally visit a foreign country that I actually understand the language of. Sadly, the motorcylce trip that I planned to celebrate my graduation last year didn't come to fruition.
Such an odd video, it gets recommended to me every other couple months. And yet I always rewatch it.
I've often walked around cities at night in a similar fashion, mostly Bristol after having enough of a party but not being tired enough to sleep. I enjoyed just walking around and watching people.
Woods have their own strange attraction in the dark too. The sounds the mice make as you walk past, the sudden jumps of a dear frightened by you being near or meeting someone else and wondering if they also buried a body and whether they're thinking the same thing.
I also do this. There's such a comforting feeling walking around at night, the world doesn't seem so big and expansive, you can only see what's nearby and well-lit. It's like an art display where certain things have lights on them and that's what you're meant to focus on.
Probably one of your most beautifully shot, beautifully written, and wonderfully cozy videos on this channel yet!
I feel like this will be up there with "The Simpler Things in Life," as one of the Kliksphillip I always come back to in order to find comfort and peace
That title sounds intense

😳
Holy shit philip this video was amazing, like im not a literature type or studying english but this felt like poetry in a video. Like the way you talk about the beauty in the everyday. I really hope you post more vids like this.
Also this really reminds me of the poem 'tuft of flowers' by robert frost. I recommend you give it a read
Man, the combination of your music, voice, footage, and most of all your ability to articulate your inner thoughts makes for some special videos. Personally, I never understand how people get bored. I feel completely content with myself, my thoughts, and my hobbies- constantly thinking about topics as simple as my next Minecraft build or as complicated as philosophy and religion. I feel that you are the same; you find interest in the simple things in life that others often take for granted or overlook. I hope you continue making videos like these.
I remember watching your old vlogs from probably 2013 going on night walks and you inspired me to start. It had a great impact on me almost like meditation and for that I thank you.
This video is poetry. In the summer of 2019 I used to run at night to avoid the highest temperatures. And regardless of day or night I would often run places I'd never been before, just choosing randomly what path to pick at every crossing. Even as a young man with a headlamp, the woods at night are all caps TERRIFYING. All the sounds you hear, how little you see and the occasional hyper reflective eyes of wild animals staring back at you. Combine this with the slight trance/high you get from long distance running and you'll experience a kind of primal feeling that most people probably go their entire lives without experiencing. In 2020 I stopped running because with the pandemic there were no more races to work towards. And I had TOTALLY forgotten this feeling right up until the moment I watched this video. It's not even quite the same thing as what you describe but the footage combined with your choice of words just put me right back into that place.
I hope you still read comments because I want you to know that this vid had an effect on me like very few other pieces of media ever
there is something peaceful in walking in an empty street and hearing no one
Surprisingly relatable sentiment
I remember watching this video when it came our not being to do such things because of time schedules ect but now i see it again years later and realize this is some of the most comforting stuff to do
I can relate to that feeling. Leaving after 8 and going home at night is such a nice feeling. Sometimes I go to the park and exercise there and since no one is usually at the park I can use whatever equipment I want! Tho it does become mundane after walking the same route. So I pick different ones. There is one optimal path to my house but I usually take a way longer one
"I like to be alone, I like to be the observer. I like to let my imagination fill in the gaps because a dream can paint a more beautiful picture than the reality its based upon ever can."

I'm speechless I did not know other people felt the same way as I do so often. thank you for sharing your view of the world
Dude I fucking love walking around at night it’s like a different world
I used to be scared of the night, scared of what lays in the shadows. So scared I wouldn't leave my room at night unless the lights were left on. At some point I started to push myself, I'd go outside at night to put rubbish in the bins, the used to be the scariest part of the day but I grew to look forward to it. I took walks around in the evening and I'd get home right when it got dark. I love the night, the eeriness and the atmosphere isn't found anywhere else in the world. The night still scares me and that's the feeling I love. Not knowing who is out at this time, what animals I might come across. It's an amazing feeling that just can't be described with words. Yet, you described it perfectly with this video
Ever get caught in the rain while walking, but then just decide, "Fuck it, I'll just walk through the rain," and then find it surprisingly nice and peaceful? Kinda reminds me of walking at night.
I come back to this video all the time
One of your finest videos Mr. Philip :) I completely agree with it. Walking around town at night is a special experience
I don't usually comment on videos, but like others this really struck a chord with me. Of course we all take something a bit different away from this video, but I'd like to share what it evoked in me. We really interact with the world differently at night, don't we? This reminds me of when I used to work late, and get out around midnight. I lived in a more ruralish area, so everyone drove, but it would've been nicer if I could've walk. But if I had the next day off, I'd stop at a gas station for a drink and snack, and just drive around. Didn't really matter where, just driving around with all my windows down and I'd sometimes listen to my favorite local college radio station, whatever silly program they had on at that hour, but more often than not, just the sounds of the night were enough. The crickets, the frogs, random animal sounds (the occasional spooky fox scream), the wind moving through my car. I loved driving by a creek, or an especially dense tunnel of trees, the damp and cool feeling the air had. There's not really anything that can replicate that feeling to me. Currently I live in a city where I don't feel comfortable walking around in (at least not my neighborhood), but I still walk and explore when I can. It's something that I should do more of. Like you said in your video, just let my mind and its imagination wander, no real inhibitions, no worries/anxieties about life. It's times like those where I feel the most at ease and comfortable with myself. Phil, if you do by chance read this, I want to say please and I mean please never change to appease someone else. I have an immense respect for how you approach youtube, how your videos are. Whether it's more personal experiences like this video, or discussing a CS:GO topic. I really do wish more people shared thoughts/experiences like the ones in this video. As silly/cliche as it sounds, I sincerely believe it's things like this that truly make us human. Our innate sense of curiosity, and powerful endless imagination. Connecting with the environment, world, universe that we live in.
The night will always have a special place for me. As a kid, when my dad was bringing me back from late dinners with his friends, I would always prefer to walk a bit on the fresh night, a place I could not go in normal times, where everything looked so different from usual. I think the night is kind of another world, where everything is the same but in an really apeasing way. A place where I can trully be on my own, after a long day of exhausting social interactions. I can finally stop thinking and just enjoy the calm and the fresh air.
There is so much to say about night, those with friends, the sad ones, the ones during summer or with a stunning starry sky. The ones at home or miles away from it. Thanks for this amazing video Philip and please keep going :)
It wasn't until I started waking up at 4am for work that I realised just how differnt the world can be at such an early hour. There's no more beautiful time than when the first glimmer of light breaches the horison. Very few, if any, people are about. Nothing but your footsteps or the few birds tweeting to break the silence.
Everything you usually associate with day time seen at night feels weird but in a good way. Stuff like parks or as you said car parks or closed shops or idk something else I cant think of right now.
you put it into words, no one I've ever lived around or with never understood why I like being awake at night so much, its so peaceful, its not overly stimulating, its the hours that everyone seeks shelter from what I consider to be my prime time.
I always love walking when is completely dark and I am the only one in the street, no cars, no people and a beautiful night sky above my head.
"I love the night. I associate it with fun and mystery."
3kluks loves dogging confirmed!!!!11!!
I had this experience back when I was in London. The comparason, between the streets full of people in daylight and the empitness of the night was far beyond words. It was a sense of freedom that I have, the city streets just for myself to enjoy, the quietness of the Tames and the smell of nothing but...well...not the most refreshing air but at least less saturated.
It makes me feel a little bit of envy towards Phillip the fact that now more then ever, night-walking in Argentina is quite dangerous, even in the little city that I live.
I´ve always like to walk at night, but it never felt the same as with London. Perhaps was the security I felt, the feeling of beeing in an unseen place, or something else.
I loved to wake up 7a.m. in the morning during my high school times, in winter season, and appreciate the same path to my school now bath in dim darkness instead of the morning sun. The atmosphere was completely different, like I wasn't going to school as usual, where do I need to go and why I'm up when it doesn't seem like morning... It was my imagination trying to process but still enjoying the "change" of scene. But what blew me away in combination with the dark mornings of winter at the same hour was the fog and mist or morning drizzles I encounter the moment I open the door.... This little natural phenomenons made my forget the tireness and sleepiness and full me with sense of adventure, scaning my surrondings for an unusual presence. Those were the coolest memories of my long walks to school in the morning :)
It's a wonderous virtue to find beauty in the dullest and ugliest of things.
I know exactly the feeling you’re talking about when I go to a new place. Like the feeling of going into Skyrim for the first time.endless possibilities
i love walking around at night too. it’s not often i can do it, also being from the countryside, but i feel so at peace in the fresh night time air.
sometimes stepping back to just appreciate small things like the stars in the sky or a street down the road youve always wnated to walk down just makes life more interesting
I've been pretty lonly the past couple of months, but I'll take advantage of this and use my liberty of being alone now to go out on an adventure in the middle of the night.
your introspection clearly touches so many people, its so validating to know other people have these dreams of a remote existence, and how that feeling is recreated at night. it's 5am now, and even just in my room it's transformed into this freeing, curious plane.
It's nice to know I'm not the only one who feels like this when walking outside at night. I mean, I knew I wasn't, the answer to "am I the only one-" is always no, but it's still nice to hear it directly.
One of the reasons I have thousands of hours in Gmod is because I would download a ton of maps and explore them, because it gave me a similar feeling. The feeling of being alone, but not (too) lonely.
For me the night walk experience is not mysterious but a nostalgic trip through my home town.
I come from a small country town where I have grown up my entire life. Every street has memories of my childhood, like my elementary school, or the parks me and my friends played at as kids.
I've walked the same dozen streets hundreds of times but they only deepen my connection to home. (Also the stars in the night sky are 👌, city folk just won't understand)
Recently I've started going for night walks with my dad and its made me realize that once I move away, the time we spend together will drastically decrease. Make sure you appreciate the good times while you are in them!
This video speaks to me on personal levels. At night, everything seems more interesting. It's empty, and I feel more wonder than I would've when just walking in the daytime. I also feel a tinge of excitement. I feel the same type of excitement, awe, and fear from space. Maybe that's why I like sci-fi. Its appeal to me is tenfold when I see pictures taken of space and I feel genuine awe of what's out there. It has the same characteristic of the feeling I get when just exploring the same places under a different set of lighting and circumstances, having new eyes for the things you glance over in less than a second. It's honestly an overwhelming and mostly indescribable feeling.
Usually, the sign of a good storyteller is keeping you engaged at every word. Here, it's keeping me engaged as if there were none.
I once bumped into Philip at 2am in Cologne, but he wasn't out walking - he was running. In timbs.
I didn't think I would ever come across a videos as relatable as this one. There's nothing like the 3 am walk. If you know, you know.
Words cannot describe how much i connect to this.
I appreciate you keeping the ambiance of your night walks in the audio rather than having music. it really adds a lot to the video.
So much more than just patch notes. Thanks for the uploads Philip. Always a good watch.
What a beautiful video. Mate it's like art at this level.
this is exatly why you're one of my favourite people on this platform, you talk about everyday things that are not talked about, discussed and appreciated enough. amazing content as always :)
To me it’s crazy that each window in an apartment block is a different story
glad to know that someone else out there also likes walking in the calm of the night and calls themselves the nightwalker.
I once pulled an all nighter studying for a calculus test. I decided to take a well earned break and ride my bike around my suburb as the sun was rising. There is a ambience you pick up on while being alone in public in the middle of the night. It's like the source code of everything is readable for once and everything makes sense.
