This is my cat’s favorite song. Every time i play it, she comes strutting into the room purring really hard and begins to beg me for cuddles. Im hugging my furry friend right now, she is sleep-purring on my arm
That's adorable! One of my family dogs used to love any songs with high pitched whistle sounds. Meanwhile My little mutt dog loves any calm songs. He'll come and relax on my lap and fall asleep. I should try cavetown with him.
To anyone who doesn't have someone to hug, take this as one. I know it's not the same, but I hope I can be there, even if through a youtube comment So here, Take this a hug :)
Me: ok I have to sleep tonight My phone: cavetown posted Me: I'll watch this video and *THEN* I'll sleep Also me: I don't care about my sleeping routine
I cried each time I listened, and each time it was for a different reason. this time it was happy tears, I finally found my friends. this song will always be a part of my life.
@@brandonig4990 its on bandcamp!! i cant remember what the album is called but its the one where its a drawing of him and he's vibin with a ukulele in a forest!
Can we talk about how it gets all loud and busy in the "I forgot how to walk by myself" And then just gets super calm and quiet and the suspense breaks and it's just the wholesome clip of Robbie hugging fig and the line just whispers "I could do with a little more of your help" Cause I'm crying this part hurts me in a good way
I knowwwww, because ever since I came out to my female friends, any body contact is immediately followed by ‘No homo lol’, and it just makes me feel like crap.
i live for your username, i started laughing a little bit and ten seconds later I was almost crying I was laughing so hard, my bother came in to see what was so funny and he didn't think it was that funny (undeserving walmart lamp) he told me he only started laughing bc at the same time my mom yelled 'i swear if you touch that clam chowder again ill rip off your face' sorry for the long comment have a nice day Yeet McYeehaw
“i’d hug all my friends if they weren’t friends with you” that part always makes me feel sad cuz it always reminds me of how i’m always the person who has a best friend but my best friend doesn’t consider me their best friend, and in friend groups i have really close friends but they don’t consider me really close, and it always ends up w me being left out or them hanging out with each other but not inviting me and me feeling really alone... i just need a hug :(
Recently found this song on another artist's radio; and maybe it's the depression I've been in for the last few months, but this song just hits the spot while simultaneously tearing me up when it builds up ("...I can't breathe anymore"). When I first heard it I immediately text my best friend and she loves it too. Now tonight, when feeling like I need a cry I just felt pulled to this song for some reason. This is my first time watching the video and something about seeing hugs outside of the venue down the street from my apartment (Rebel Lounge, Phx, AZ, USA) just filled me with this immense sense of "community." Then, reading through the comments and virtual hugs it just felt that much warmer. Even though I wasn't aware of you when you would've been here filming that and didn't know any of your fans at that time, I still feel the love and positivity that echoes through hearing it now -- all the times this song has been heard and played and acted on -- along with everyone else. Thank you for your music. From what I've heard from you so far, there's so much warmth, support, and positivity. And to anyone who read this far, please accept a virtual hug from me, as well, and know that you are, have been, and will be loved.
This inspired me to say something in response (to the "community" in a similar structure) (sorry it's rough, I wrote it 15 min ago): I know you can't see me Or hear what I say But I hope you know At least in some way That you're on my mind That you are my kind And though you may not know it You're part of my life Together we listen To that song we love Transmitting through airwaves In echoes above Reverberating sound Across the shared ground That connects you to me Wherever we're found No matter when Words carry, No matter who Is there, we Are part of the Same experience, Lifting & lifted, In sorrow & laughter Before, now, & after And I won't be the same Because when you flapped your wings The cool breeze met my face Through each person we know And as I breathe, I hope My wind carries you on To wherever you're sailing... I know you can't see me Or hear what I say But I hope you know At least in some way That you are so loved And you always have been Even when you can't see it No matter what happens And sure as my breath Drifts into the air I hope your lungs take in Just how much I care And that you, in turn, With no fear or concern, Echo that love back Out into the world... (La, ladida, ladida, Oh oh, Ladida, ladida, Oh oh...)
This song hits different when u are depressed and want someone to notice your sad and for someone to give u a hug and tell u everything is gonna be alright
Hey ♡ you're beautiful! You're an amazing person! :3 sometimes it might be hard to control depression but hey I'm here for you no matter what! It's gonna be okay believe me never give up 🤍 ʕ´• ᴥ•̥`ʔ
Everything will be alright even though this will probably be the last time we ever interact know that someone in the world understands you and is going through something similar
this is why i love robin's channel. he doesnt just post songs, and content that will only fuel his channel for the only purpose of making money. he uploads things like this: things that make people happy. i really appreciate that he takes the time to do these things that other youtubers dont bother with, because this channel is special, and robin's channel will always have a special place in my heart.

The best experience I've ever had is when I went to a church camp and at the end we were encouraged to tell our friends why we appreciated them. It was so freeing and wonderful to be able to express why I appreciate my friends for sticking by me and the amazing counselors who poured into us, and then give them the best bear hugs ever. None of us cared if the hugs went on for "too long", we were too caught up in the absolute marvelousness of the other person. Being able to see everyone for the unique masterpiece that god made them and tell them that was amazing. It was still sad though, because I had to fly back to Spain and it won't be until June that I get to see them again. However their influence in my life and the wisdom and appreciation for human uniqueness they showed me has encouraged me to be a better person, and I can't wait to see them again and tell them even more ways I appreciate them and give them more hugs. That camp was amazing, and it was the first time I was able to be vulnerable with people. I miss my friends and the counselors sooo much, and I'm incredibly grateful for them. Update a year later: I got to go to that camp again and it was equally amazing, somehow with even MORE hugs. I got to meet new people, and reconnect with old friends. BY FAR the most important realization that came from this was realizing that each of my Christian friends has the holy spirit living inside of them. Being able to finally comprehend what that means and not seeing the holy spirit as an impersonal ghost was so eye-opening. I actually burst into tears at the realization of how wonderfully created each and every one of my friends is. I was finally able to see them as God does, and it completely overwhelmed me with love for them. After cleaning that nasty snot off my face I went and gave each of them massive hugs and told them how amazing they are. I got to have incredible conversations with everyone there. I miss my friends more than ever, and every day I wish i could ship them over here and give them hugs.
I had the same experience, i leave the country shortly after I attend each year so I cant really keep in touch with my friends, but the couselers are there every year
~looks at cute sanrio clock~ but I must listen to cavetown! Rilakkuma clock Vs. hooman!! Rilakkuma clock casts _attracting spell!_ _hooman takes critical hit!_ hooman casts _s l e e p_ _Rilakkuma clock dodges!_ Rilakkuma clock casts _lullaby!_ _hooman gets enchanted_ - hooman: A Sweet Tooth for you, I'm wide awake~! The sugar went straight to my brain!... Rilakkuma clock wins!!! -Rilakkuma clock: t i k t o k :")
Dude im fucking panicking i understand why you'd probably not believe this because of how absurd it is but i looked at my clock and it's exactly 3:45 AM i kid you not i live in riyadh saudi arabia and my time zone is gmt + 3 compare the time of how long i wrote this comment with the time in riyadh currently to confirm holy crap dude.
The way the kids looked at Robbie in the crowd teared me up. It's like they are literally looking up to Robbie. Robbie is like a role model to all of us lgbtq+ kids, his songs give us a sense of comfort and closure. I love you 🤧
I'm convinced that all the dislikes on this video were simply a result of people who were trying to like the video and missed due to tears obstructing their vision.
I've been stuck with the same group of toxic "friends" for the past 2 years, they always made fun of me for being gay, excluded me from things etc. etc. but the thing that effected me most was not letting me hug them, I live for hugs and I can barely function without them, but recently I found a new group of friends and they're all absolutely incredible.. and one of them is gay.. and they all love hugs! I feel like I finally have something to look forward to
humans are funny, we hug each other for comfort and to search happiness, we put our bodies together to show affection and adoration, we feel cozy and safe in someone else's embrace, and we apply that concept to animals too. We are, truly, an interesting species
the more I learn anatomically, the more I learn chemically, the more I learn psychologically about humans, everything just makes less and more sense. In a good way :)
I was listening to this song in Spanish class when I realized I was getting out of my 2-year depression hole! I've come a long way and just to think that the sun just shines so much brighter on the other side. Last January I almost took my own life, but I'm glad I didn't because it led me to this point in time. I made it because of the perfect music, the people I surrounded myself with, and the feeling that always stayed inside me that I just couldn't give up. Cavetown was a main support and after listening to this song, I can't tell you how much I just wanted to sob because I almost gave up on the people who love me so much! So, for the people who feel like giving up, DON'T! It's so much brighter and clear on the other side. I will always listen to Cavetown because the music was there for me so imma be there for it. Thank you Cavetown for helping my mental health get better! Hugs will mean so much more to me than ever before 💖
Christina if u see this: My friend (named above) hates people touching her, which I get. And there have been very few times that I’ve hugged her, but I call her a cat cuz she’s always poking me or messing with me but I can’t touch her which I think is cute and funny. I brought up the idea a bit ago to take her to a counselor because she’s been going through stuff, and the letter that she wrote to her future self, she mentioned “the next time you see Paige, go up to her and give her the biggest hug and tell her thank you because now your better or almost there.” And that made me cry because for once in my life I felt like I didn’t let someone down. And Christina if u see this, I’m thankful for u putting up with my shit and I’d be more than happy to take that hug in the future. Love u fren❤️
This hits different when you're in self isolation and miss your friends so much and you won't be able to see them for the next few weeks :(( (Especially my best friend, I miss you so much my dude) update: my best friend has been my girlfriend for 5 months now :))
i just got into a big fight with my best friend, then i herd this song. nuh uh i bolted out of my my house tears filled my eyes.i ran all the way down to her house and gave her a huge hug. im so greatful to have her i would not be me. ty for making this song to realize what i did.
This song makes me cry so hard, I've never really had that close bond with anyone that is still here to this day. I want to make memories and I want to enjoy life, but I just can't, it's scary and hard to make yourself vulnerable.
i'm missing his concert in august. i cried for a day, then it came to my mind... on that week i'll be in a camp with my classmates. we graduate in june so it's our last camp together. i love you robbie, and thank you for teaching the importance of my friends
As a person with RSD and anxiety, this helps me remember that my friends aren't leaving me. After so many toxic friendships it's weird for me to feel comfortable again....but I'm getting better.🙂 So thank you Robbie for this beautiful song.❤
I was going to sing this at a talent show. But I canceled my audition. Know why? Because instead of auditioning, I wanted to spend the day with my two best friends. It was Valentine's Day, after all.... best choice ever. Now I'm a wonderful relationship with one of my best friends in the world, and I'm finally loving life. Not a day goes by that I don't see my lover and friends, and remember learning this song. Maybe next year. At the next talent show. in the mean time, hug all ur friends ❤
the way robbie's music makes me feel is something i cannot describe. i have a lot of internet friends. people who mean the absolute world to me. i would do anything for them, anything to meet them and give them the biggest hug i possibly could. theyve saved my life more times than i could count. theyve made me feel things that i couldnt even process at first. theyve helped me grow as a person, helped me feel something. i met my first internet friend during august. his name is gage. he lived in south dakota, then moved to vegas... 5 minutes away from my dads house. he made me feel something i havent felt in years. i actually, genuinely seriously fell in love. before we met, we were so anxious. "can we hug?" "yes." "it wont be weird?" "no. never." we got together september 8th, and our 6 month anniversary just passed. i wouldnt trade him for anything else in the world. when i hugged him, i couldnt help but think of this song while we held eachother in our arms. i almost cried. thank you, robbie. thank you for giving us music that means something, and that has a good message. i may not know you personally, but i hope one day we can hug and i can personally thank you.
That’s so adorable and wholesome. I love that and I love how his music makes me feel as well :). I’m glad you were able to make friends and that you can have the happiness that you deserve
@@blueberry1557 we met on google plus, and exchanged discord tags. we talked and talked, until we eventually got into our personal issues deep into the night... i think thats when i caught feelings. when he walked through my door to see me for the first time, and we made eye contact, my first thought was "i want to spend my life with you."
"can't breath anymore, I forgot how to walk by myself" It rember me of this days were I had a panic attack at school, the teacher send me to the nurse and when I started to walk in the corridor my legs were shaking and I almost fall; the teacher ask 2 kind girls to help me to walk. the nurs wasn't here so a supervisor helped me with my panic attack and I go back to class after 20 minutes, after the lesson the 2 girls came see me and ask me if everyting was ok. thank you to the peoples who read this so here is for you *virtual hug* also, I'm sorry if I made speling errors, I'm french have a great day/night
oh gosh same I can’t be intimate or affectionate whatsoever because i’m emotionally unavailable but i’m working on it. try healing your inner child to see where this problem is rooted from. it’s kind of helping me.
sometimes I really don't want hugs, but then I sometimes do but i'm too shy to ask for one. I always get hugged when I don't want it though. I always stiffen when I'm hugged so I look like i just don't want to be touched at all-
You've done it... This is my first time crying to a song. Now that I think about it, it's really the second time crying to something besides getting hurt or something. I don't really know how to feel.
I felt my chest crunch up as I read this because I too... have lost so many friends I cared for like you. But maybe we're meant to meet them later on in life again after some space or time apart or we've got more people to call friends that we'll meet anew. Regardless, let me send you a hug.
dude so many comments are so relatable. i feel like 2020 has been the worst year i have ever experienced. 1- my grandmas dog died ( i loved him to death ) 2- got bullied by my bsf 3- lost my best friend 4- attempted suicide 5- found my happiness 6- lost another bsf that i thought i would have for forever ( we even had a yt ) 7- got bullied again 8- my grandma passed away (november 2, 2020) 9- had suicidal thoughts last night- attempted suicide but stopped myself to talk to my sister about it and she was with her boyfriend and his family. they were making ornaments and she took time out of her night to come get me and let me go over to make ornaments with them. i had the most fun i have ever had in my life. and my sisters boyfriend has a brother my age and he's so nice and respectful i think im in love. i finally have something to look forward to. 11- on November 17, i have to go to my grandmas funeral. soo yeah pretty crappy. i left out a few things but you get the overall gist of it.
@@Rileysoldchan I am so proud of you for going to your sister. I am so so so glad that your attempts at suicide were unsuccessful. I love you, keep doing your best♡
My first time listening to this song and it fucked me up. About a year and a half ago my childhood friend died from an overdose. I regret so much not making an effort to keep in touch with him. He was there in a lot of my memories and will always be important to me.
idk if i shared this story already but here it goes, this song means a lot to me so enjoy the read if you wanna so i never really was a huge fan of physical affection. it's hard to explain but to sum it up; my dad used to hug me a lot and other physical affection stuff but he turned out to me a scumbag and my mom divorced him and i kinda felt weird about hugging people because of that basically so growing up people always tried to hug me and i'd swiftly dodge or full on push them away enter 'kate' in respect to her i won't share her full story but basically her mom used to beat her for all the little things or any reason at all. her dad worked late and never saw it or her so she was starved of physical affection as a kid which made her pretty clingy i'm a hard person to be friends with i'll admit. i'm closed off and pretty cold and an overall bitch. i only made three new friends when i joined a new school. i had tons of friends growing up but after the divorce they left me because i was 'broken' no one and i mean no one expected kate to be able to befriend me. she was the new girl she is a really touchy feely unconsciously cuddly girl which does not mix with someone who will push you away if you try to touch me anyways, kate was super nice to me. this was a bit before i got my first part time job and i was still living off my single mother with four kids's money. which was't a lot so some days i wouldn't eat so i could save her money kate noticed this and bought me lunch once a week because her dad spoiled her to make up for not being there a lot here's when i had probably the first hug in at least five years everyday i take the bus to and from school, kate does too somedays but always comes to school on the bus on tuesdays i had texted her that morning and knew she was coming in, it was a tuesday so i saved her a spot on the bus she didn't get on the bus. she arrived to school ten minutes after me (i arrive 40 mins before school) and came to me crying. she didn't say much only 'mom' i didn't know what to do and there was the thought in the back of my head to do what i'd seen being done many times before i just gave her a hug hugging someone doesn't suddenly fix me and i still don't like physical affection but somehow, kate is able to lean against me and when i hold my hand out she'll put her chin on it. i just let it happen but not with anyone else i'm getting better though i gave my mom a hug a while back which came as a shock to her i gave the uncle i hadn't seen in years a hug and his wife maybe one day i'll feel comfortable enough to let someone else in and call them my boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other i do want _want_ to be able do the whole physical affection thing because i found i actually like it kate is my best friend and we've adopted all the broken kids not really we're just a circle of misfits and broken-down beyond repair outcasts but we do have good grouphugs when necessary :)
@@reyzacy6205 I haven't had a hug in 1 year and i don't like hugs unless they actually mean it.i know that sounds confusing but I know why someone is hugging me and I only do it back if I approve of the reason,I know that sounds snobby but you'd understand if I went into more detail
I keep crying whenever I watch the music video, I cry even when I listen to the song. God, I miss all of my friends and I just really need hugs. I want to hug all my friends and tell them that I love them and that they deserve the world but I'm not able to wrap it in a box for them and it just breaks my heart that school has been taking up most our time. I miss all my friends so much
Whenever I watch this video I think of my group of friends. There aren’t a lot of us but I wouldn’t trade it for a big group ever. They mean the world to me and I trust them with my life. I used to not like being touched, I used to hate hugs. But after hearing this song and thinking very hard about it, and seeing how much they wanted hugs from me. I let my walls down. And I started hugging all of them everyday. First it was just small hugs, and now it’s long hugs that can last for minutes. I love them so much that I cry when I listen to this. They make me so happy and I’m so glad to have them. So I give them as much love as I can. Thank you Robbie.
AMA i love hugs too, mainly from my best friend who is a boi, sadly we cant really hug for that long tho or else rumors will start ;-; but in gifted class, were all like family so we can hug there :3
Hey nobody needs to read this it's just a stranger on the internet ranting: From an early age I didn't have many friends because of my personality and got called a weirdo and got bullied a lot for it. I ended up moving to multiple elementary schools for it. I actually finally got accepted into a friend group at some point but they didn't like me and often hit me, laughed, teased me. Even though I cared for them and was nice, all they did was mean things. When I graduated and got to middle school I decided to try to change my personality completely and made friends. I finally had friends and I was so happy and decided from then on I would use that personality around people. But then they slowly left me and I panicked trying to search for other traits that I thought people would like and when I found that people liked sexual things on the internet I started being like that to try to please other people. But then more and more people left and I started to get bullied again and things got really physical. I didn't know who I should have been and became really mixed up with different personalities all over the place. Then I found him. I met this online guy on the internet and became friends with him. He was the only good thing in my life and helped me sort things out. The only thing wrong with this is that he's ten years older but I didn't care because he was so nice and it was the genuine relationship that I was looking for. But then I stopped messaging him because of that age difference and my life got worse. Getting into toxic relationships and people using me. I don't want to be alone and I stayed. When I got into high school, where I am now, I only had two friends which I was grateful for. Friends since 6th and 7th grade. The thing is they were getting more and more toxic and started to make fun of me and said hurtful things. We were so close but they were annoyed of me. They put ants in my hair and laughed and said that I had lice and started to slap me and say that I was annoying as hell. They said these things yet got upset when I started to hang around other people. They eventually ganged up on me and ended the friendship. I felt so fucking sad. I can't get a single good fucking relationship without being hurt. I'm alone I have nobody. Then I thought of the guy on the internet and gave him a message saying that I was sorry and praying that he would respond. And he did I was so happy I could cry. He was the only person that felt genuine and was never mean to me. We talk every couple of days even now and he's the best person despite people hating on the age difference. He has never been lewd and is always a gentleman who listens and laughs with me. I just hope he doesn't leave me in the end as well. Oof this was long not like anyone's gonna read it though, but if you did thanks for listening ^^
I hope it gets better as a pansexual female I was bullied alot since many people are homophobic they would be aggressive and mean I thought of self harm until I met someone online she was great my only friend she supported me laughed with me and cried with me so coming from a similar situation I feel your pain and I hope you meet wonderful people and have a great and happy life💜
Wow that hit me. I really feel for you and I only wish u the best. People can be real jerks sometimes but know u are the only person u need to please. Not anyone else. Much love :)
Literally exact same thing happened to me minus the internet friend one😅I try making friends on the internet but it doesn't work,people often talk to me about their problems then ignore mine but I guess it's ok bc I can rant in the comments
we can't hug you in person (for many reasons) but i hope you'll accept this virtual one! i will always be here to rant w/ you. you might not be able to find good people in reality (trust me, they will come) but on the internet there are a bunch of people who we talk with you to get everything off your chest and maybe take away some of the pain. if you ever need to rant again, just reply to my comment :>
I’m playing this on loop because this song has just been my mood lately and every time it replays I hear something new and it just makes the song even better than the last time I listened to it. Just goes to show how talented Robin is
I’m up at 6:30 watching this ( incredibly early for me) soaking my pillow with the tears that u inspired me to get up and appreciate all the people that love me
Correction, early elementary school. 5th grade was hecking horrible, because I first experienced the first friendships broken with distrust. I'm better now tho 👁👄👁
This song means so much to me. “life’s too short to worry about things that we got wrong, so hug all your friends, and let them know you’re not letting go.” That hits so much, I always think that I’m the one who’s carrying everything, all the blame, all of the mistakes. I don’t have many friends to hug or to even vent to. I don’t have many friends in general. Having friends.. can impact your life so much. It makes you less lonely, it makes you,, be you. I’ve had so many friends in my life, but I’ve left them all behind because I’ve had to move so many times. I carry all of this blame because I left them, because I won’t be in their ups and downs. I’m always the kind of friend who is the people pleaser, or the therapist. It’s hard. I’m the way I am because I don’t want to let the people I have go. I don’t want to leave them. And I don’t want them to leave me. This song, it feels like a warm embrace. I haven’t gotten affection and contact from many people for almost a year, and I think it’s also the reason why I am like this.
I've never cried listening and watching to music before, buts all the closeness this video radiates and how calm it is... There's a first for everything and everyone!
I watched over 1000 hugs to make this video and I have no regrets 💛
I love u taha

thank you taha. you're awesome.
Much appreciated sir uwu

Because it is , for most people including myself I think that people make hugging seem only okay for certain people who are ‘worth it’
It definitely is, I guess it depends on the type hug but to me anyway it always means a lot

This is my cat’s favorite song. Every time i play it, she comes strutting into the room purring really hard and begins to beg me for cuddles. Im hugging my furry friend right now, she is sleep-purring on my arm
This comment put a smile on my face so thank you to you and your cat :)
My dogs fav is oh Susannah for some reason so whenever I play it on guitar she comes walking in it’s hilarious
That's adorable! One of my family dogs used to love any songs with high pitched whistle sounds. Meanwhile My little mutt dog loves any calm songs. He'll come and relax on my lap and fall asleep. I should try cavetown with him.
The cat has good taste then
my cat likes this song too :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Can we talk about how it gets all loud and busy in the "I forgot how to walk by myself"
And then just gets super calm and quiet and the suspense breaks and it's just the wholesome clip of Robbie hugging fig and the line just whispers
"I could do with a little more of your help"
Cause I'm crying this part hurts me in a good way
im not crying i just really want a hug from Robbie

This song genuinly made me want to keep going on and see that life is worth living when I was going through a dark time. Thank you Robbie, thank you.
i live for your username, i started laughing a little bit and ten seconds later I was almost crying I was laughing so hard, my bother came in to see what was so funny and he didn't think it was that funny (undeserving walmart lamp) he told me he only started laughing bc at the same time my mom yelled 'i swear if you touch that clam chowder again ill rip off your face'
sorry for the long comment have a nice day Yeet McYeehaw
“i’d hug all my friends if they weren’t friends with you”
that part always makes me feel sad cuz it always reminds me of how i’m always the person who has a best friend but my best friend doesn’t consider me their best friend, and in friend groups i have really close friends but they don’t consider me really close, and it always ends up w me being left out or them hanging out with each other but not inviting me and me feeling really alone...

my cravings for hugs are about to burst 😢
That’s why you should hug your friends before it’s too late
I'm crying!!! Robbie is such a wonderful person and he deserves the whole wide world, we must protect this innocent amazing bean!!!!
Recently found this song on another artist's radio; and maybe it's the depression I've been in for the last few months, but this song just hits the spot while simultaneously tearing me up when it builds up ("...I can't breathe anymore"). When I first heard it I immediately text my best friend and she loves it too.
Now tonight, when feeling like I need a cry I just felt pulled to this song for some reason.
This is my first time watching the video and something about seeing hugs outside of the venue down the street from my apartment (Rebel Lounge, Phx, AZ, USA) just filled me with this immense sense of "community." Then, reading through the comments and virtual hugs it just felt that much warmer. Even though I wasn't aware of you when you would've been here filming that and didn't know any of your fans at that time, I still feel the love and positivity that echoes through hearing it now -- all the times this song has been heard and played and acted on -- along with everyone else.
Thank you for your music. From what I've heard from you so far, there's so much warmth, support, and positivity.
And to anyone who read this far, please accept a virtual hug from me, as well, and know that you are, have been, and will be loved.
This inspired me to say something in response (to the "community" in a similar structure) (sorry it's rough, I wrote it 15 min ago):
I know you can't see me
Or hear what I say
But I hope you know
At least in some way
That you're on my mind
That you are my kind
And though you may not know it
You're part of my life
Together we listen
To that song we love
Transmitting through airwaves
In echoes above
Reverberating sound
Across the shared ground
That connects you to me
Wherever we're found
No matter when
Words carry,
No matter who
Is there, we
Are part of the
Same experience,
Lifting & lifted,
In sorrow & laughter
Before, now, & after
And I won't
be the same
Because when you flapped your wings
The cool breeze met my face
Through each person we know
And as I breathe, I hope
My wind carries you on
To wherever you're sailing...
I know you can't see me
Or hear what I say
But I hope you know
At least in some way
That you are so loved
And you always have been
Even when you can't see it
No matter what happens
And sure as my breath
Drifts into the air
I hope your lungs take in
Just how much I care
And that you, in turn,
With no fear or concern,
Echo that love back
Out into the world...
(La, ladida, ladida,
Oh oh,
Ladida, ladida,
Oh oh...)

after losing a lot of my friends due to a shitty falling out, the “i’d hug all my friends if they weren’t friends with you” line HITS EVERY TIME
This song hits different when u are depressed and want someone to notice your sad and for someone to give u a hug and tell u everything is gonna be alright
How are you doing?
Hey ♡ you're beautiful! You're an amazing person! :3 sometimes it might be hard to control depression but hey I'm here for you no matter what! It's gonna be okay believe me never give up 🤍 ʕ´• ᴥ•̥`ʔ
Everything will be alright even though this will probably be the last time we ever interact know that someone in the world understands you and is going through something similar
you're**
yeah it really does and when they even catch you crying many times and still put it aside
this is why i love robin's channel. he doesnt just post songs, and content that will only fuel his channel for the only purpose of making money. he uploads things like this: things that make people happy. i really appreciate that he takes the time to do these things that other youtubers dont bother with, because this channel is special, and robin's channel will always have a special place in my heart.

me too! like I love hugs and making people happy but I never know if I should or not and I way overthink it aaaaaaaa
My social anxiety won’t let me ask if I can use the bathroom, much less give someone a hug.
It’s really hard at first, especially for people with anxiety, but you get used to it and then it’s the one of the best parts of life
I got an urge to try so I ran full speed and hugged my friends like him it was pretty cool

@@emiven9592 same here! :(
Me too 😭💖
The best experience I've ever had is when I went to a church camp and at the end we were encouraged to tell our friends why we appreciated them. It was so freeing and wonderful to be able to express why I appreciate my friends for sticking by me and the amazing counselors who poured into us, and then give them the best bear hugs ever. None of us cared if the hugs went on for "too long", we were too caught up in the absolute marvelousness of the other person. Being able to see everyone for the unique masterpiece that god made them and tell them that was amazing. It was still sad though, because I had to fly back to Spain and it won't be until June that I get to see them again. However their influence in my life and the wisdom and appreciation for human uniqueness they showed me has encouraged me to be a better person, and I can't wait to see them again and tell them even more ways I appreciate them and give them more hugs.
That camp was amazing, and it was the first time I was able to be vulnerable with people. I miss my friends and the counselors sooo much, and I'm incredibly grateful for them.
Update a year later: I got to go to that camp again and it was equally amazing, somehow with even MORE hugs. I got to meet new people, and reconnect with old friends. BY FAR the most important realization that came from this was realizing that each of my Christian friends has the holy spirit living inside of them. Being able to finally comprehend what that means and not seeing the holy spirit as an impersonal ghost was so eye-opening. I actually burst into tears at the realization of how wonderfully created each and every one of my friends is. I was finally able to see them as God does, and it completely overwhelmed me with love for them. After cleaning that nasty snot off my face I went and gave each of them massive hugs and told them how amazing they are. I got to have incredible conversations with everyone there. I miss my friends more than ever, and every day I wish i could ship them over here and give them hugs.
I had the same experience, i leave the country shortly after I attend each year so I cant really keep in touch with my friends, but the couselers are there every year
I started crying when he said that life was to short to worry about the things we got wrong 😭 😭

I've been stuck with the same group of toxic "friends" for the past 2 years, they always made fun of me for being gay, excluded me from things etc. etc. but the thing that effected me most was not letting me hug them, I live for hugs and I can barely function without them, but recently I found a new group of friends and they're all absolutely incredible.. and one of them is gay.. and they all love hugs! I feel like I finally have something to look forward to
Love yourself and be proud of it! 💛

The line 'Do you know what it's like to be nothing at all?' just makes me want to close my eyes, tip back and keep falling. Anyone else?
humans are funny, we hug each other for comfort and to search happiness, we put our bodies together to show affection and adoration, we feel cozy and safe in someone else's embrace, and we apply that concept to animals too. We are, truly, an interesting species

How? Also sorry to hear
I was listening to this song in Spanish class when I realized I was getting out of my 2-year depression hole! I've come a long way and just to think that the sun just shines so much brighter on the other side. Last January I almost took my own life, but I'm glad I didn't because it led me to this point in time. I made it because of the perfect music, the people I surrounded myself with, and the feeling that always stayed inside me that I just couldn't give up. Cavetown was a main support and after listening to this song, I can't tell you how much I just wanted to sob because I almost gave up on the people who love me so much! So, for the people who feel like giving up, DON'T! It's so much brighter and clear on the other side.
I will always listen to Cavetown because the music was there for me so imma be there for it. Thank you Cavetown for helping my mental health get better! Hugs will mean so much more to me than ever before 💖
I'm glad ur ok❤

Christina if u see this:
My friend (named above) hates people touching her, which I get. And there have been very few times that I’ve hugged her, but I call her a cat cuz she’s always poking me or messing with me but I can’t touch her which I think is cute and funny. I brought up the idea a bit ago to take her to a counselor because she’s been going through stuff, and the letter that she wrote to her future self, she mentioned “the next time you see Paige, go up to her and give her the biggest hug and tell her thank you because now your better or almost there.” And that made me cry because for once in my life I felt like I didn’t let someone down. And Christina if u see this, I’m thankful for u putting up with my shit and I’d be more than happy to take that hug in the future. Love u fren❤️
that made me cry

So glad you made it! :)
heyyy! didn't know you were a cavetown fan too
I'm proud of you :)
the way robbie's music makes me feel is something i cannot describe.
i have a lot of internet friends. people who mean the absolute world to me. i would do anything for them, anything to meet them and give them the biggest hug i possibly could.
theyve saved my life more times than i could count. theyve made me feel things that i couldnt even process at first. theyve helped me grow as a person, helped me feel something.
i met my first internet friend during august. his name is gage. he lived in south dakota, then moved to vegas... 5 minutes away from my dads house. he made me feel something i havent felt in years. i actually, genuinely seriously fell in love.
before we met, we were so anxious.
"can we hug?"
"yes."
"it wont be weird?"
"no. never."
we got together september 8th, and our 6 month anniversary just passed. i wouldnt trade him for anything else in the world.
when i hugged him, i couldnt help but think of this song while we held eachother in our arms. i almost cried.
thank you, robbie. thank you for giving us music that means something, and that has a good message. i may not know you personally, but i hope one day we can hug and i can personally thank you.
aw that's so sweet x I wish you both the best
this is precious 😍

@@blueberry1557 we met on google plus, and exchanged discord tags. we talked and talked, until we eventually got into our personal issues deep into the night... i think thats when i caught feelings. when he walked through my door to see me for the first time, and we made eye contact, my first thought was "i want to spend my life with you."
"can't breath anymore, I forgot how to walk by myself"
It rember me of this days were I had a panic attack at school, the teacher send me to the nurse and when I started to walk in the corridor my legs were shaking and I almost fall; the teacher ask 2 kind girls to help me to walk.

The fact I hate hugs makes this song even harder to not cry too. I've always hated hugging people because im horrible with emotions and communication
same like i literally cant say i love u lol
oh gosh same I can’t be intimate or affectionate whatsoever because i’m emotionally unavailable but i’m working on it. try healing your inner child to see where this problem is rooted from. it’s kind of helping me.
sometimes I really don't want hugs, but then I sometimes do but i'm too shy to ask for one. I always get hugged when I don't want it though. I always stiffen when I'm hugged so I look like i just don't want to be touched at all-

@@Rileysoldchan I am so proud of you for going to your sister. I am so so so glad that your attempts at suicide were unsuccessful. I love you, keep doing your best♡
Why am I crying. This is happy. Everyone in this community is so nice
My first time listening to this song and it fucked me up.
About a year and a half ago my childhood friend died from an overdose. I regret so much not making an effort to keep in touch with him. He was there in a lot of my memories and will always be important to me.
Wherever he may be now, im sure is somewhere better and nice. May he rest in peace. I hope you do well too, keep going.
he'll keep living in your memory. im sorry for your loss man, itll be alright
Omg im so sorry. I hope you okay
First name Last name omg i'm so sorry for you😭💔 He's in a better place now :/❤
I'm so sorry, please keep going
hug all ur friends~
*looks around*
*see the cat*
cat: no
*she hugs herself* :')
its ok dw
idk if i shared this story already but here it goes, this song means a lot to me so enjoy the read if you wanna
so i never really was a huge fan of physical affection. it's hard to explain but to sum it up; my dad used to hug me a lot and other physical affection stuff but he turned out to me a scumbag and my mom divorced him and i kinda felt weird about hugging people because of that basically
so growing up people always tried to hug me and i'd swiftly dodge or full on push them away
enter 'kate'
in respect to her i won't share her full story but basically her mom used to beat her for all the little things or any reason at all. her dad worked late and never saw it or her so she was starved of physical affection as a kid which made her pretty clingy
i'm a hard person to be friends with i'll admit. i'm closed off and pretty cold and an overall bitch. i only made three new friends when i joined a new school. i had tons of friends growing up but after the divorce they left me because i was 'broken'
no one and i mean no one expected kate to be able to befriend me. she was the new girl
she is a really touchy feely unconsciously cuddly girl which does not mix with someone who will push you away if you try to touch me
anyways, kate was super nice to me. this was a bit before i got my first part time job and i was still living off my single mother with four kids's money. which was't a lot so some days i wouldn't eat so i could save her money
kate noticed this and bought me lunch once a week because her dad spoiled her to make up for not being there a lot
here's when i had probably the first hug in at least five years
everyday i take the bus to and from school, kate does too somedays but always comes to school on the bus on tuesdays
i had texted her that morning and knew she was coming in, it was a tuesday so i saved her a spot on the bus
she didn't get on the bus.
she arrived to school ten minutes after me (i arrive 40 mins before school) and came to me crying. she didn't say much only 'mom' i didn't know what to do and there was the thought in the back of my head to do what i'd seen being done many times before
i just gave her a hug
hugging someone doesn't suddenly fix me and i still don't like physical affection but somehow, kate is able to lean against me and when i hold my hand out she'll put her chin on it.
i just let it happen but not with anyone else
i'm getting better though
i gave my mom a hug a while back which came as a shock to her
i gave the uncle i hadn't seen in years a hug
and his wife
maybe one day i'll feel comfortable enough to let someone else in and call them my boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other
i do want _want_ to be able do the whole physical affection thing because i found i actually like it
kate is my best friend and we've adopted all the broken kids
not really
we're just a circle of misfits and broken-down beyond repair outcasts
but we do have good grouphugs when necessary :)
This is such a nice story, mixed with this song it makes me want to cry. Friends really shape your world, don’t they?
At least there are some people that want to hug you-
Awh, i have the same reason to why i dont like hugging as you do wow❤
@@reyzacy6205 I haven't had a hug in 1 year and i don't like hugs unless they actually mean it.i know that sounds confusing but I know why someone is hugging me and I only do it back if I approve of the reason,I know that sounds snobby but you'd understand if I went into more detail
I have a similar reason for not liking physical affection so I’m sorry but this was such a sweet story plz stay safe and have lots of hugs
I keep crying whenever I watch the music video, I cry even when I listen to the song. God, I miss all of my friends and I just really need hugs. I want to hug all my friends and tell them that I love them and that they deserve the world but I'm not able to wrap it in a box for them and it just breaks my heart that school has been taking up most our time. I miss all my friends so much
Whenever I watch this video I think of my group of friends. There aren’t a lot of us but I wouldn’t trade it for a big group ever. They mean the world to me and I trust them with my life. I used to not like being touched, I used to hate hugs. But after hearing this song and thinking very hard about it, and seeing how much they wanted hugs from me. I let my walls down. And I started hugging all of them everyday. First it was just small hugs, and now it’s long hugs that can last for minutes. I love them so much that I cry when I listen to this. They make me so happy and I’m so glad to have them. So I give them as much love as I can. Thank you Robbie.
AMA i love hugs too, mainly from my best friend who is a boi, sadly we cant really hug for that long tho or else rumors will start ;-; but in gifted class, were all like family so we can hug there :3
I was gonna post something serious but instead I'll just
My eyes are sweating a lot please give towels.
I love your profile picture
*here, towel*
*also hug
Hey nobody needs to read this it's just a stranger on the internet ranting:
From an early age I didn't have many friends because of my personality and got called a weirdo and got bullied a lot for it. I ended up moving to multiple elementary schools for it. I actually finally got accepted into a friend group at some point but they didn't like me and often hit me, laughed, teased me. Even though I cared for them and was nice, all they did was mean things.
When I graduated and got to middle school I decided to try to change my personality completely and made friends. I finally had friends and I was so happy and decided from then on I would use that personality around people. But then they slowly left me and I panicked trying to search for other traits that I thought people would like and when I found that people liked sexual things on the internet I started being like that to try to please other people. But then more and more people left and I started to get bullied again and things got really physical. I didn't know who I should have been and became really mixed up with different personalities all over the place.
Then I found him. I met this online guy on the internet and became friends with him. He was the only good thing in my life and helped me sort things out. The only thing wrong with this is that he's ten years older but I didn't care because he was so nice and it was the genuine relationship that I was looking for. But then I stopped messaging him because of that age difference and my life got worse. Getting into toxic relationships and people using me. I don't want to be alone and I stayed.
When I got into high school, where I am now, I only had two friends which I was grateful for. Friends since 6th and 7th grade. The thing is they were getting more and more toxic and started to make fun of me and said hurtful things. We were so close but they were annoyed of me. They put ants in my hair and laughed and said that I had lice and started to slap me and say that I was annoying as hell. They said these things yet got upset when I started to hang around other people. They eventually ganged up on me and ended the friendship. I felt so fucking sad. I can't get a single good fucking relationship without being hurt. I'm alone I have nobody.
Then I thought of the guy on the internet and gave him a message saying that I was sorry and praying that he would respond. And he did I was so happy I could cry. He was the only person that felt genuine and was never mean to me. We talk every couple of days even now and he's the best person despite people hating on the age difference. He has never been lewd and is always a gentleman who listens and laughs with me. I just hope he doesn't leave me in the end as well. Oof this was long not like anyone's gonna read it though, but if you did thanks for listening ^^
That made me cry, I'm really sorry for you experiences, glad you're happy now!
I hope it gets better as a pansexual female I was bullied alot since many people are homophobic they would be aggressive and mean I thought of self harm until I met someone online she was great my only friend she supported me laughed with me and cried with me so coming from a similar situation I feel your pain and I hope you meet wonderful people and have a great and happy life💜
Wow that hit me. I really feel for you and I only wish u the best. People can be real jerks sometimes but know u are the only person u need to please. Not anyone else. Much love :)
Literally exact same thing happened to me minus the internet friend one😅I try making friends on the internet but it doesn't work,people often talk to me about their problems then ignore mine but I guess it's ok bc I can rant in the comments
we can't hug you in person (for many reasons) but i hope you'll accept this virtual one! i will always be here to rant w/ you. you might not be able to find good people in reality (trust me, they will come) but on the internet there are a bunch of people who we talk with you to get everything off your chest and maybe take away some of the pain. if you ever need to rant again, just reply to my comment :>
I’m playing this on loop because this song has just been my mood lately and every time it replays I hear something new and it just makes the song even better than the last time I listened to it. Just goes to show how talented Robin is
I wish i could just have a hug. Even if it was from a stranger. But this song did give me a little hope
here, have a virtual hug!!! :D
*virtual hug* here, hope you have a nice day/night and dont forget to love yourself, you're amazing :) 💕💖
Ugh, ikr
I'm so touch depraved it hurts 😅
*gives virtual hug* :)
Sending you virtual tight warm big huggssss. We love you. 💗💗💗💗
I’m up at 6:30 watching this ( incredibly early for me) soaking my pillow with the tears that u inspired me to get up and appreciate all the people that love me
Millie Sen it’s legit 6:30 while I’m watching this
Im watching at 6;30
Same! 😂🤦🏻♀️
5 30
I've seen this at 7:32 a. m. lol
I miss being in grade school...when everyone was your friend and you felt like you had everything you needed.
Not in my experience, lol
not for me :(
@@kaitoric same, 4 and 5th were tragic
Literally complete opposite.
Correction, early elementary school. 5th grade was hecking horrible, because I first experienced the first friendships broken with distrust. I'm better now tho 👁👄👁
4:58 the "you're not letting go" in the background gave me chills everytime
and 5:20
This song means so much to me.
“life’s too short to worry about things that we got wrong, so hug all your friends, and let them know you’re not letting go.”
That hits so much, I always think that I’m the one who’s carrying everything, all the blame, all of the mistakes. I don’t have many friends to hug or to even vent to. I don’t have many friends in general. Having friends.. can impact your life so much. It makes you less lonely, it makes you,, be you. I’ve had so many friends in my life, but I’ve left them all behind because I’ve had to move so many times. I carry all of this blame because I left them, because I won’t be in their ups and downs. I’m always the kind of friend who is the people pleaser, or the therapist. It’s hard. I’m the way I am because I don’t want to let the people I have go. I don’t want to leave them. And I don’t want them to leave me. This song, it feels like a warm embrace. I haven’t gotten affection and contact from many people for almost a year, and I think it’s also the reason why I am like this.
forgive yourself.
I would like to apologize for not being able to read all of this
I have a terrible attention span so I’m really sorry :(
@@jimibailey2015 ah, u dont need to apologize ab it, its okay !
if you would like a friend, i'm here
Here, I can’t hug you irl, but I’ll send you a virtual hug if it makes you feel better. It’ll all be okay in the end :]
cavetown : hug all your friends
everyone : *hugs their friends*
me, not having any friends : *hugs myself*
李です naw I’m glad that had a wholesome twist but here’s a hug 🤗
I'm not ALOUD to hug myself because in not friends with myself
*hugs*
李です you are my friend now.
You can be your own friend! :)
for every hug i saw my brain said “you wish that was you huh”
Yuppp
The tight ones were killing me...I need friends
See I have the friends to hug, but if I hugged them I feel like they would be confused or like uncomfortable because I don’t usually hug them
@@holay_molay_7 YEAH I FEEL YOU i’m so uncomfortable with physical contact from a lot of people but i do still soemtimes want a hug from anyone
@@jdawg9722 yesss exactly
I've never cried listening and watching to music before, buts all the closeness this video radiates and how calm it is... There's a first for everything and everyone!
I had the same exact experience with this music video, really can relate
