I'm 34 years old. I'll never ever forget the Christmas when the Simpsons debuted. My father had just lost his father that March. I was 5, him and my mother also had just split. We watched it together and never missed a episode after. I lost him one year ago. Not a day has gone by that I don't think about him. Thank you for this, it's such a great extension of the human soul and the weight we carry deep down.
What makes this edit really great, is it that highlights how despite the humor and ridiculousness of the Simpsons, the character of Homer Simpson actually does have depth. That's what made the prime era of the Simpsons so wonderful. Humor and ridiculous hilarity... with deep characters.
season 1-8 is the simpsons. it ended after season 8. this isn't to say there wasn't funny or good episodes that followed after s8, but the heart and soul of the show, the very essence of what the simpsons was and what it represented, was season 1-8.
Synthwave and vaporwave make the most excellent late driving and thinking soundtracks. Late drives with fast and upbeat songs, and thinking with songs like this. Slow and reflective. The late nights when you're the only one up, questioning everything.
It's like he realized that life is unforgiving and all his ideals and hopes have left him. He became aware of the fact that he is living an endless routine. Unable to do anything about it he is just counting out the days that slowly pass and the despair that life is slowly running out is driving him insane. A depressed man that has to put up with it all because his family is not to blame. So he just embraces his miseries and continues his endless cycle until he can finally leave his worn out body and close his eyes.
He tries to run away from it all, but then realizes nothing could change it. Not the touch of another's lips. Not the indulgence of his friendships. Not the taste of liquor. Not his insomniac rides through town. Nothing could ever change the absence of his mother, neither his loneliness and pain. So he starts searching for a purpose, something of value to keep him sedated from it all. He finds the world he cared for only existed in his past, being the present an indiferent and unforgivable landscape of loneliness and pain. But then he remembers her, who brought the most and best of his joy. She, who stood forever by his side, would give him the chance to love and be loved nonetheless. He can then let off his heart, because that of value was his family after all.
I'm slowly dying. You sir should write a novel with that description you made. In my opinion that description perfectly captures this video and think if you were to put this in a novel of some sort it would be great. Anyway have a great day!
Jebus Thank you for the compliment. Although UtopyDream had a more accurate description of the whole story in my opinion, mine was purely based on the feelings I felt while watching it. But who knows, if I start reading literature and practice more on the construction of sentences and the flow of the story, I might just shit one out.
I discovered this music when I was in a very dark period of my life. Since then, life has taken a wonderful turn for me. I defeated my depression, found the woman of my dreams, married her, bought a house in a small town, and recently, we had our first child. I found this song once again after all this time and not only has it aged like wine, it has given me such an amazing perspective on where I am and where I came from. Thank you God, you really came through for me.
Awh that's nice yeh my trajectory was the opposite was coming out on top and ended up loosing all those things over the past 7 years but carry on my son carry on
This will forever be the greatest video ever made. I come back to this one yearly and the raw emotion I feel watching this never goes away. Edit: Wow, can't believe it's already been a year since I commented this, time really does fly by.
This song makes me cry It's about a man who drowns his sorrows in alcohol. A man who can't remember how he got where he is A man who reminisces his childhood, reminisces his marriage in his early years A man who has lost communication with his daughter A man who is lost The man's wife is so, so supportive. Helping him every step of the way But the man still ponders and longs as the time drew near He almost ran away. Multiple times. That was the only escape. But he came back and rebuilt his family That's the story. Makes me cry
The editing in this video is really underappreciated. 2:23 above the trees you can see a time lapse of homer growing from a baby to an adult 2:34 Lisa, even in her depression, had a glowing radiant quality around her, kinda like barts dark aura. Homer has a dark aura too. Like maybe homer and bart are depressed, but Lisa knows she is going to make it, she's smarter than them and she'll go far. Homer and Bart are both lost, and don't know what to do next. It feels like a crisis sometimes indeed. Like father like son. 2:51 Homer is trying to search for his mother, for some love, looking everywhere. Falling asleep in chairs, listening to music, just thinking depressed thoughts. Searching desperately. 3:16 he reaches a new point in his life, where he can transition, he can grow. He opened a door to a new opportunity. He runs through that door. 3:21 his mom watches, worried and loving like only a mother can, as she knows she will never see her son again, and has just sent him off in life to be alone. As all adults must do someday. Everyone dies. Now she can rest easy knowing her son will be OK, so she drives off into the great beyond, never to be seen again. RIP. 3:24 home is scared, but knows he has to do this as he waves a final goodbye. 3:28 Homer begins to think about how he's going to make sure his daughter is prepared for her own adult life, and how one day he's going to have to say goodbye to her too before she becomes an adult and leaves on her own life journey. It scares him, and he knows it will crush him, but its part of being a parent. 3:34 he remember the passionate love he once had with his wife, and wonders where it went wrong. He realizes he wants it back. 3:39 he takes the risk of reaching out, he gets hurt, and falls deeper 3:47 just as it seems he's about to give up, perhaps take his last breathe before drifting off into a numb peaceful sleep for the last time... SUDDENLY: memories flood back to him. He remembers why he fell in love. He remembers why he's still in love. He picks himself up, sobers up, and goes to see his wife. They begin talking again. Homer goes on with his day, making sure to hug his daughter.. and then it ends. I'm probably putting a lot of my own views into this but wow, this is a gorgeous video. A lot of work was put into this series.
Holy fuck you're intensely stupid. I was taking issue with you because you're dissing the video itself. How horrible is your reading comprehension? Also, fuckery is a word.
Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto well calling people stupid just because you're butthurt doesnt solve anything i know you're following me around calling me stupid to whatever i say just because you got butthurt i commented on that guys page its pretty pathetic
+michael pichardo You're on drugs, dude. We've only interacted on this thread... But you call someone's art stupid for stupid reasons and you're going to get called stupid. Sorry man, the way it goes. Be nicer if you don't like it. Or make a legitimate critique.
Yup, same here! I am glad that Eyepatch Wolf enlightened me to this content, I would not have had the viewing pleasure - if it not for that. Well worth the watch, and a lovely discovery. Vapo-Wave is a genre I'll have to delve into deeper now, the fantastic editing coupled with the vibes and someone somber mood which emanate off of videos like this is phenomenal! And gave me a dose of the feels, for sure. Boy, what a comment section too! It is evident that many other have been touched by this, and feel the need to vocalize it also.
fuck me. why do I like his content so much? It's like having a one-sided friendship that's healthy, or getting a message in a bottle from time to time, just when I need it. And fuck this song! Why is living so beautiful, yet really really hard?
This video gives me a strange feeling that I cannot name or make sense of. It’s like melancholy and euphoria at the same time but also a hint of longing, nostalgia and regret. A complex feeling that’s so hard to describe ....
I think the closest feeling is saudade: "a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one cares for; moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never return".
Here is a universe where Bart, Maggie and Marge have all died, or left. Homer is now a single or widowed father with only his daughter. His alcohol problem worsens as he tries to distract himself with other women: the encounters are hollow and unfulfilling. His and Lisa's life are a constant struggle as Homer often finds himself lost within the threads of his memories, making him distant and unable to connect with her. He often dreams of running or floating, as if carried by an unseen current through a world he struggles to process in the wake of his C R I S I S amid all of this he then looses his mother. The heavy stone of his mothers death pulls him from the stagnant heavens of his toxic grief--grounding him back to earth where Lisa awaits the returning strength of her father. After a long look in the mirror, and difficult phone call, Homer is met with the odd parting M E M O R Y of Marge making sandwiches, looking away from him. He reaches out to grasp her hand, but hesitates, deciding instead to devote himself to his remaining life with Lisa. I love the Simpsons. Simpsons wave gives me closure
@Julio there is no 'one' thing that worked. I'm still very much wandering in my own life. I try to imagine my life as a building: the strongest parts at the bottom holding up the meaningful stuff on the top. The strong stuff that holds you up is air, water, safety/shelter and food in that order. Think of those things as your physical health and well being: to live longer than 2 minutes you must breathe, to live longer than 3 days you must drink, to live longer than a week you must rest, to live longer than a month you must eat. Once you can sustain yourself this way you must then find a way to then continue living for years, and for that you need purpose. Purpose is unique to the individual, i wish i could point you to where you might find it but its one of those ephemeral, abstract things that slips through the fingers when you try to explain it. Some people find purpose in their work/hobbies, while others find it in their children/family/relationships. Life is a tough bet and no one really prepares you for what happens. tl;dr Breathe, stay hydrated, clean your room, eat well, socialize, add to beautiful community of your choice. XD
@David Wolford there is little i can tell you other than, things get better, sometimes they get worse. depression is complicated and nuanced to the individual, and the causes are often hidden under years of suffering. Dying is easy but living is very difficult. Saying nothing is easy, talking to strangers can be hard.
Homer realizes he is in an endless loophole of being a cartoon character until the show cancels, he realized that his life is almost worthless, it's even sadder considering he knows it will all end.
It helps too that the early seasons did sort of feel grounded to reality. So there was plenty of episodes where the family would have poverty issues or struggle to make ends meet. It really paints a picture in animation of a lower middle class family.
I honestly didn't think things could get much better. I had an amazing girlfriend, her and all my friends and family got along. I had a stable good enough job, with plans of moving up in position. I was planning on moving in with my friends and her. And it truly fell apart. My mom was diagnosed with cancer, she left me for my best friend, I got fired from the job and since then I've been trying to get everything back on track
that really fuccing sucks. if youre ever feeling down, just know that God gives strength to the weak. If you have not received gods strength, then you are not weak. So keep going
The world is moving so fast nowadays that even twenty years ago, the world we lived in was radically different. Simply put, the 90's feel like a better time because they were a simpler time. Things made sense just that short time ago.
makes me sad thinking about it as well. like i know i'll never be as happy as i was then. maybe my family was better together, maybe the world was better in general, or maybe my childhood innocence makes everything look better then it was. i'll never know for sure. i'll always be in c r i s i s.
It's like he realized that life is unforgiving and all his ideals and hopes have left him. He became aware of the fact that he is living an endless routine. Unable to do anything about it he is just counting out the days that slowly pass and the despair that life is slowly running out is driving him insane.

Everyone here is listening to this shit at 4am and crying and I really wish there was like a chat sort of thing for this song so we could all cry and talk about life together rip
Being alive is allowing yourself to be vulnerable to destruction. You can't be happy forever, you can't love or be loved forever. You are only here on a accident and life happens to be this amazing gift with intricate patterns and unexplainable misteries and I feel like sometimes all we can do is grieve and dive in the melancholy of knowing we are grains of sand in the desert of time.
Holy shit I was tripping and listening to this song, then I stumble upon this comment and it made my trip go into the infinite cosmos, I was literally astral projecting because of you. Thank you so much.
Thefuck are you talking about? I mean, life is so goddamn beautiful. You can eat, meet new people, get drunk, kiss a lot girls, have sex anyway, I love my life, I don't even know what am I doing here (sorry for the bad english btw)
Well, it just hit 1 a m. The night is quiet and who even reads the comments on videos this old? It makes me sad, this is so deep and so sad, and yet I keep coming back to this channel hoping for one last simpsonwave, one last VHS overlapping a an old forgotten beginning of a later dead show. I need one more
I feel like so many people forget how much love there was in early Simpsons seasons. It wasn't always just about cheap gags at literally any opportunity.
Losing myself, and some how I found a part of me here. In these comments life is so excruciatingly beautiful. It hurts so much but I see the beauty in it. Floating by who’s still listening in 2020
Actually, life is a gift given to you by Almighty God in Heaven. You are not here by accident; Jesus created you and has a special, unique plan for your life. If you feel His call in your heart, please don’t hesitate to say yes to Him. He will forgive everything you ever did wrong in your life, and give you a beautiful life and a future.
This is definitely the best one in the "series". The other ones are pretty good, but I wish I could find another one with this melancholic, but still awaken sound, like this one. I can't describe it properly, but that's the feeling I get. The other ones are more of the relaxing kind...
This video makes me think of all the time gone by, all my memories, happy and sad, all the things I've done and haven't done, all the opportunities I've wasted, the innocence of childhood that slowly becomes nothing but a distant fading dream, and as I look to the future, I am both afraid and curious of what is to come.
it's the combination of serious, drastic sounding music(lotsa minor chords),... the nostalgia of the time you were young, when these episodes were on, and your life was different, and probably had less to worry about....and the scenes selected therein, all melancholy and repetitive mundane.....but with a slight happy tinge ... ..I like the stuff, but I have to understand why......that's why....
I think I kinda get why this makes us all so sad. And it will probably not surprise you. The Simpsons is something we grew up with. Something that takes us to that sweet time when nothing really bothered us. Look at us now. We're mostly grown up, having to face life in its true, terrifying form. The Simpsons will remain in the past. And the past is pleasant because we already know it. Yet the future... The future is one big mistery of what we know nothing about, and that is incredibly scary. But while the future comes to us, let's enjoy the memories of the past. I say, let's all warm up near the fire of our childhood. And when we're all warm and ready, let's get up and face the days as they come. For the light we left behind is the one showing us the path. Have a nice day.
... that light we left behind, those after school days of simpsons repeats on the local Fox affiliates, the small half hours we had for ourselves and all the stress and bullshit of being a kid would slide off us like vapour, at least for that half hour, and we were ok.
I watch this video _religiously._ It is nostalgic in a way that both reminds me of my past, of stargazing and wonder; as well as anticipation of the future, it's anxieties, toils, and simple things to a child that become so problematic as adults. Thank you.
Five or six years ago, this video popped up in my recommended videos on youtube. I remember it like it was yesterday. Tonight, I have once again been blessed by the youtube algorithm. It is now 4:58am and I am evaluating my life I have lived so far, as I did several years ago. I am excited for this to pop up again in another 6 or 7 years. I hope I will see myself living a happy life.
The only thing I hope you do when you watch this is deep introspection - contemplate where you've been, where you are, and most importantly, where you're going. Embrace the exquisite anguish of your failures, cherish the proud moments of your accomplishments, liberate yourself from any inhibition keeping you from your true potential. Return here when you need to remember who you are.
considering the context of the episode the first clip is from: the episode it comes from involves a plot where homer eats a fish at a restaurant that was prepared poorly, so the poison was left in it, leaving homer around 24 hours to live. during the episode, homer tries to achieve a bucket list of sorts, and for his final moments, he takes out a walkman and listens to an audiobook tape on it in what he thinks are his final moments. considering that the final clip of that episode is the first clip of this video, this video could be seen as homer reflecting back on moments throughout his life.
I really understand Homer Simpson now. He's just a child who grew old but never bothered to grow up and is now burdened with the responsibilities of life and family. Much like the most of us in this world. He lives in a constant state of sadness and worries with occasional moments of happiness and abandon...
No homer is a idiotic but hilarious character that many people loved for years. But millennials and teens like to turn him and Bart into these depressed characters that people can “relate” to but it’s honestly stupid. Stop wasting time watching this and go talk to somebody about your depression. Or if your here just for the chill music, then enjoy it.
@@werunthat Meh. I do doubt that Groening and the other creators ever intended him to have *that* much depth, but if recontextualizing it to create a new, relatable experience is helping someone out, or hell, just turns out as interesting or entertaining, who's it hurting? :P
@@werunthat I agree with you, angry dude. If you watched the show, you KNOW that Homer mostly has a comedic purpose. He's just plain stupid. There are a few episodes where he gets sad, but 95% of the time, he's just a big happy idiot.
Just crazy how I came across this entire concept of Simpsonwave when I was in highschool and now I get this surge of regrets 8 years later. I guess I will be along for the ride forever hahah...
huh? i wasn't confused about why he's like this. I was jus sayn this video really brings all that too reality, cuz in the show it's funny to see him be a dumbass and things always work out because its a cartoon. But for Homer in reality, this video depicts it well and shows how dark and depressing Homer's life really can be without the humor from televison. Idk man, I just really like this video thas all.
guy in a 15+ year marriage has a terrible fight with his wife, and goes out with his boys. gets a little too drunk and makes a stupid mistake. he half-admits his adultery to his suspecting wife, who is too scared to face the problem because she just doesnt want to be alone at her age. the husband is so over-racked with guilt, thinks about his highschool sweetheart and all the love they had, now contemplates suicide repeatedly. it wasnt until he got support from his (dead)mother (from a pill induced dream) he began to think about his daughter, and how he wanted to be there for her in times like these. he vows to be a better father and husband, unlike his father. he still lives with his family, even shared a passionate kiss recently with his estranged wife, but he still sleeps on the couch. he sat with his daughter one morning waiting to drive his to school, they both slowly began to realize that it was never going to get better, and then his wife called to him, "homie?"
Harrison Fantastic writing dude! In my interpretation the narrative follows Homer on a downward spiral. Hes hurting. And he's not sure how to put his feelings into words. The repeated shots of him running are representations of him trying to escape the negative emotions, however the cycle must continue. And he will end up at Moe's again, and he will end up in another women's room to find some relief. Another repeated shot is Homer listening to music in his chair. I think this is similar to what a lot of us do when we're having a bad day or a rough time, we isolate ourselves with our favourite music. Maybe he watches the sun come up every night One shot i find to be quite powerful is 1:43 . Homer walks through the bowling alley he used to work at. It's told in an episode (and Maggie Makes Three) that Homer gave up his dream job to support his third child. Maybe he walks through and wonders what life would be like if he had continued to do a job he loved His family know he's struggling (Marge waits up for him at 1:09 and Lisa searches for the right words at 3:29 ) but it can be very difficult to know what to say to a loved one at their time of need. You don't want to make the situation worse for them As the video continues I feel Homer's hurt can be drawn from a constant need of alcohol (seen in Moe's multiple times), a poor self image (seen looking in the mirror at 3:33 and comparing how he looks to his younger self) and his mother departing from him ( seen driving away). He reaches the point where even going outside looks scary ( at 3:12 outside is a void and he becomes a deformed digital copy of himself upon leaving) Its not untill Homer works up the courage to pick up the phone and ask for help (at 2:51) do we see things start to change. One specific session of over the phone therapy touches a nerve with Homer (possibly finding a source of his depression. Could be his mother like you suggested ) Now we finally see the Homer we grew up with as kids, able to battle his inner demons for the good of his family. Lisa gets her dad back, and Marge gets her "Homie".
Man, what makes this even deeper for a meme song. Is that sad realization that one day (if not already) we will all have to say goodbye to our mothers.
This was my introduction to HOME. I still laugh knowing it was a Simpsons synthwave edit. I don't know if nostalgia is what HOME makes me feel, but it's certainly something like that. No matter what corner of the internet I go to, HOMEs music still seems to find me, 7 years later.
shay Magleby no why he said a degenerative brain disease then called you a fuckboy. The reply to user button isnt working on the regular youtube page, idk.
I still look back at the time this video released, looking back to where I was standing at that point in my life, and honestly I'm thankful you've done this piece of art with media that I can relate to in so many ways, that I could never describe enough and point out all the details I love from it. Every now and then I still come back and think how we're all going to go through a crisis of our own, how I'm still fighting things since that point, how time waits for no one and how we try to make the most of it. I hope you're doing alright.
I see a story. I see a lonely, middle aged man who lost the love of his life. Since the death of his wife, he has constant flashbacks of their relationship; flashbacks of much happier times. Because of his depression, he whores around with women and drinks excessively, trying to fill that emptiness inside him. Because of this, he disconnects from his young daughter. One day, he encounters some sort of spiritual journey, and on this journey he manages to reconnects with his deceased wife. Only then, was he able to learn to let go and move on to live a happier life with his daughter.
+Jose A. Mendoza-Huijon I interpreted it as a divorced father, the divorce striked him really hard, that's why he seems so melancholic all the time, and also it explains why in the last minute he makes a call and he appears to be spending time with his daughter.
I'm sad too like all of you, but i need you all to realize that this video is HOPEFUL! Homer found meaning in the end, and so can you. DO. NOT. GIVE. UP.
Shouts out to the people feeling their heart strings being pulled from this beautiful song. I love you and the universe loves you! Just know that's there's art in this world that makes us feel whole
6 years ago, listening to this in my bedroom with the window open letting in a fresh summer breeze and lots of natural sunlight. The bedroom is clean and the house is calm. My life was calm back then.
Almost the emotion that accompanies nostalgia, but without actually reminiscing about anything in particular. A rare and unsettling decoupling that is quite addictive.
PixelReviver maybe the "feeling nostaligia over a time you didn't experience"-phenomenon can simply be described as a love for a time period because you, as a person, wanted to experience that time but did not get to do so. The Renaissance was created out of love and fascination for the ancient greeco-roman culture for example, because people wanted to experience what it was like. I have always adored the 80's subcultures so maybe this is an answer to why.

Beautiful story. I'm sorry for your loss. ❤❤❤

So nobody's gonna comment how great the editing is ?
A piece of art : the shooting stars, homer hugging his mom... Everything is perfectly edited.
second.
Lucien was truly a master at this art.
Charles Hamel what happened to him ? He kill himself lol?
No, he still does other stuff. He is just not focusing on music much anymore, especially not Simpsonwave.
Charles Hamel oh thats good. Tired of hearing people killing themselves like little pussies
WHY DOES THIS FEEL SO RIGHT
because it's so wrong, plus chiptune.
This vid made me feel soo good
+Slindi? how the hell?
it relax
Because it is?
Dude Simpsonwave has some fucking deep moments. This is probably number 1 for me.
ikr
WE ARE NUMBER ONE! *HEY!*
Yeah, the feels are definitely hitting me
watch bart on the road
i saw that one. That one is best simpsonwave video ever.
What makes this edit really great, is it that highlights how despite the humor and ridiculousness of the Simpsons, the character of Homer Simpson actually does have depth. That's what made the prime era of the Simpsons so wonderful. Humor and ridiculous hilarity... with deep characters.
They ruined homer...
season 1-8 is the simpsons. it ended after season 8. this isn't to say there wasn't funny or good episodes that followed after s8, but the heart and soul of the show, the very essence of what the simpsons was and what it represented, was season 1-8.
The 4 words that reflects the Simpsons at its peak: “Do it for her”
Synthwave and vaporwave make the most excellent late driving and thinking soundtracks. Late drives with fast and upbeat songs, and thinking with songs like this. Slow and reflective. The late nights when you're the only one up, questioning everything.

On god dude. The peace and serenity i had back then. Now i work a dead end job and i never have time to do the things i usually do
For real bro I felt nostalgic when this came out, now I’m nostalgic for the time when this came out
Why you acting like you're 70
Literally me, but with 17, 5 years ago
It's insane that this video is nearing on 6 years now. I still remember watching it for the first time at 3am one night
Same here. Same here
2016 was special
such a weird time
1:30 AM and still rocking
7 years now, and same
It's like he realized that life is unforgiving and all his ideals and hopes have left him. He became aware of the fact that he is living an endless routine. Unable to do anything about it he is just counting out the days that slowly pass and the despair that life is slowly running out is driving him insane. A depressed man that has to put up with it all because his family is not to blame. So he just embraces his miseries and continues his endless cycle until he can finally leave his worn out body and close his eyes.
He tries to run away from it all, but then realizes nothing could change it. Not the touch of another's lips. Not the indulgence of his friendships. Not the taste of liquor. Not his insomniac rides through town. Nothing could ever change the absence of his mother, neither his loneliness and pain. So he starts searching for a purpose, something of value to keep him sedated from it all. He finds the world he cared for only existed in his past, being the present an indiferent and unforgivable landscape of loneliness and pain. But then he remembers her, who brought the most and best of his joy. She, who stood forever by his side, would give him the chance to love and be loved nonetheless. He can then let off his heart, because that of value was his family after all.
I'm slowly dying. You sir should write a novel with that description you made. In my opinion that description perfectly captures this video and think if you were to put this in a novel of some sort it would be great. Anyway have a great day!
Jebus Thank you for the compliment. Although UtopyDream had a more accurate description of the whole story in my opinion, mine was purely based on the feelings I felt while watching it.
But who knows, if I start reading literature and practice more on the construction of sentences and the flow of the story, I might just shit one out.

SUMMER TIME
He may have been a simp but he was spitting straight fax
I discovered this music when I was in a very dark period of my life. Since then, life has taken a wonderful turn for me. I defeated my depression, found the woman of my dreams, married her, bought a house in a small town, and recently, we had our first child. I found this song once again after all this time and not only has it aged like wine, it has given me such an amazing perspective on where I am and where I came from. Thank you God, you really came through for me.
I’m happy for you bro. I can only hope time will help me find my way. I wish you and your family well my friend
I hope my future will be half as bright as yours. You gave me motivation with this comment,thank you
Awh that's nice yeh my trajectory was the opposite was coming out on top and ended up loosing all those things over the past 7 years but carry on my son carry on
God bless your family brother. Abide in the Lord and He will abide in you...
I hope she never leaves I hope you never cheat and wish your family well
This will forever be the greatest video ever made. I come back to this one yearly and the raw emotion I feel watching this never goes away.
Edit: Wow, can't believe it's already been a year since I commented this, time really does fly by.
How you holding up brother? Things better in your life now?

homer is such a sincere character
was*
Wtf he chokes his son on a daily
he said sincere, not good parent
081588101 I miss the Simpson’s from the 90s
He use to be so well meaning and tried so hard to be the best husband and father he could be... wtf happened?
This song makes me cry
It's about a man who drowns his sorrows in alcohol. A man who can't remember how he got where he is
A man who reminisces his childhood, reminisces his marriage in his early years
A man who has lost communication with his daughter
A man who is lost
The man's wife is so, so supportive. Helping him every step of the way
But the man still ponders and longs as the time drew near
He almost ran away. Multiple times. That was the only escape. But he came back and rebuilt his family
That's the story. Makes me cry
The editing in this video is really underappreciated.
2:23 above the trees you can see a time lapse of homer growing from a baby to an adult
2:34 Lisa, even in her depression, had a glowing radiant quality around her, kinda like barts dark aura. Homer has a dark aura too. Like maybe homer and bart are depressed, but Lisa knows she is going to make it, she's smarter than them and she'll go far. Homer and Bart are both lost, and don't know what to do next. It feels like a crisis sometimes indeed. Like father like son.
2:51 Homer is trying to search for his mother, for some love, looking everywhere. Falling asleep in chairs, listening to music, just thinking depressed thoughts. Searching desperately.
3:16 he reaches a new point in his life, where he can transition, he can grow. He opened a door to a new opportunity. He runs through that door.
3:21 his mom watches, worried and loving like only a mother can, as she knows she will never see her son again, and has just sent him off in life to be alone. As all adults must do someday. Everyone dies. Now she can rest easy knowing her son will be OK, so she drives off into the great beyond, never to be seen again. RIP.
3:24 home is scared, but knows he has to do this as he waves a final goodbye.
3:28 Homer begins to think about how he's going to make sure his daughter is prepared for her own adult life, and how one day he's going to have to say goodbye to her too before she becomes an adult and leaves on her own life journey. It scares him, and he knows it will crush him, but its part of being a parent.
3:34 he remember the passionate love he once had with his wife, and wonders where it went wrong. He realizes he wants it back.
3:39 he takes the risk of reaching out, he gets hurt, and falls deeper
3:47 just as it seems he's about to give up, perhaps take his last breathe before drifting off into a numb peaceful sleep for the last time... SUDDENLY: memories flood back to him. He remembers why he fell in love. He remembers why he's still in love. He picks himself up, sobers up, and goes to see his wife. They begin talking again.
Homer goes on with his day, making sure to hug his daughter.. and then it ends.
I'm probably putting a lot of my own views into this but wow, this is a gorgeous video. A lot of work was put into this series.

This video gives me a strange feeling that I cannot name or make sense of. It’s like melancholy and euphoria at the same time but also a hint of longing, nostalgia and regret. A complex feeling that’s so hard to describe ....
I feel exactly the same tbh, melancholy, longing, nostalgia and a lot of regret and just a bit of euphoria, all of that with a touch of anemoia.
I think the closest feeling is saudade: "a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one cares for; moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never return".
to me, I could only picture it with "when exactly it turned out like this?"
Here is a universe where Bart, Maggie and Marge have all died, or left. Homer is now a single or widowed father with only his daughter. His alcohol problem worsens as he tries to distract himself with other women: the encounters are hollow and unfulfilling. His and Lisa's life are a constant struggle as Homer often finds himself lost within the threads of his memories, making him distant and unable to connect with her.
He often dreams of running or floating, as if carried by an unseen current through a world he struggles to process in the wake of his C R I S I S amid all of this he then looses his mother.
The heavy stone of his mothers death pulls him from the stagnant heavens of his toxic grief--grounding him back to earth where Lisa awaits the returning strength of her father.
After a long look in the mirror, and difficult phone call, Homer is met with the odd parting M E M O R Y of Marge making sandwiches, looking away from him. He reaches out to grasp her hand, but hesitates, deciding instead to devote himself to his remaining life with Lisa.
I love the Simpsons.
Simpsons wave gives me closure
that was beautiful. very sad but quite the alternative take on describing this video.
@Julio there is no 'one' thing that worked. I'm still very much wandering in my own life. I try to imagine my life as a building: the strongest parts at the bottom holding up the meaningful stuff on the top. The strong stuff that holds you up is air, water, safety/shelter and food in that order. Think of those things as your physical health and well being: to live longer than 2 minutes you must breathe, to live longer than 3 days you must drink, to live longer than a week you must rest, to live longer than a month you must eat.
Once you can sustain yourself this way you must then find a way to then continue living for years, and for that you need purpose. Purpose is unique to the individual, i wish i could point you to where you might find it but its one of those ephemeral, abstract things that slips through the fingers when you try to explain it. Some people find purpose in their work/hobbies, while others find it in their children/family/relationships.
Life is a tough bet and no one really prepares you for what happens.
tl;dr
Breathe, stay hydrated, clean your room, eat well, socialize, add to beautiful community of your choice. XD

@David Wolford there is little i can tell you other than, things get better, sometimes they get worse. depression is complicated and nuanced to the individual, and the causes are often hidden under years of suffering. Dying is easy but living is very difficult. Saying nothing is easy, talking to strangers can be hard.

has anyone ever noticed how depressed homer really is throughout the entire show, especially in the early seasons
maybe homer is some of the producer beeing sad? what you think budddy
Homer realizes he is in an endless loophole of being a cartoon character until the show cancels, he realized that his life is almost worthless, it's even sadder considering he knows it will all end.
I M J U S T A K I D
I think that’s what gave the show character. Nowadays, the simpsons can’t have a serious or sad moment without it feeling like a joke
It helps too that the early seasons did sort of feel grounded to reality. So there was plenty of episodes where the family would have poverty issues or struggle to make ends meet. It really paints a picture in animation of a lower middle class family.
Don't know why, but the first 20 seconds hit home really hard.
I wish everything will fall in the right place somehow and someday

I honestly didn't think things could get much better. I had an amazing girlfriend, her and all my friends and family got along. I had a stable good enough job, with plans of moving up in position. I was planning on moving in with my friends and her. And it truly fell apart. My mom was diagnosed with cancer, she left me for my best friend, I got fired from the job and since then I've been trying to get everything back on track

reminds me of my childhood when shit wasn't horrible for some reason
The world is moving so fast nowadays that even twenty years ago, the world we lived in was radically different. Simply put, the 90's feel like a better time because they were a simpler time. Things made sense just that short time ago.
***** Real funny. Did you come up with that yourself?
I miss those simple times. I miss the 80s and 90s, and binge watch movies on netflix from those eras to relive the decades.
makes me sad thinking about it as well. like i know i'll never be as happy as i was then. maybe my family was better together, maybe the world was better in general, or maybe my childhood innocence makes everything look better then it was. i'll never know for sure. i'll always be in c r i s i s.
Well, there's that, but my childhood was far more depressing and dangerous than my adult life that has promise.
Is it just me or is this the most emotional Simpsonwave on TH-cam?

Mauow same...
It's like he realized that life is unforgiving and all his ideals and hopes have left him. He became aware of the fact that he is living an endless routine. Unable to do anything about it he is just counting out the days that slowly pass and the despair that life is slowly running out is driving him insane. A depressed man that has to put up with it all because his family is not to blame. So he just embraces his miseries and continues his endless cycle until he can finally leave his worn out body and close his eyes.

Fight hard enough that your tragedy’s become a parable instead of a consequence.
thank you for this
I think I kinda get why this makes us all so sad. And it will probably not surprise you. The Simpsons is something we grew up with. Something that takes us to that sweet time when nothing really bothered us. Look at us now. We're mostly grown up, having to face life in its true, terrifying form. The Simpsons will remain in the past. And the past is pleasant because we already know it. Yet the future... The future is one big mistery of what we know nothing about, and that is incredibly scary.
But while the future comes to us, let's enjoy the memories of the past. I say, let's all warm up near the fire of our childhood. And when we're all warm and ready, let's get up and face the days as they come. For the light we left behind is the one showing us the path.
Have a nice day.
True. It reminds us of our childhood when everything was so simple and beautiful.
... that light we left behind, those after school days of simpsons repeats on the local Fox affiliates, the small half hours we had for ourselves and all the stress and bullshit of being a kid would slide off us like vapour, at least for that half hour, and we were ok.

I hope I will see myself living a happy life.

Poor, pitiable Homer. Aren't we all Homer? Just a little bit? He has such a good life, and yet he struggles so much. Just like all of us.
Todd From Work this...fucking this...
The only thing I hope you do when you watch this is deep introspection - contemplate where you've been, where you are, and most importantly, where you're going. Embrace the exquisite anguish of your failures, cherish the proud moments of your accomplishments, liberate yourself from any inhibition keeping you from your true potential. Return here when you need to remember who you are.
considering the context of the episode the first clip is from:
the episode it comes from involves a plot where homer eats a fish at a restaurant that was prepared poorly, so the poison was left in it, leaving homer around 24 hours to live. during the episode, homer tries to achieve a bucket list of sorts, and for his final moments, he takes out a walkman and listens to an audiobook tape on it in what he thinks are his final moments. considering that the final clip of that episode is the first clip of this video, this video could be seen as homer reflecting back on moments throughout his life.
this video and song remind me of the past wen everything and everyone was young. how i wish we could go back🤒

I really understand Homer Simpson now. He's just a child who grew old but never bothered to grow up and is now burdened with the responsibilities of life and family. Much like the most of us in this world. He lives in a constant state of sadness and worries with occasional moments of happiness and abandon...
Cosmic Surfer that's why we gotta learn and actually grow up in some point
No homer is a idiotic but hilarious character that many people loved for years. But millennials and teens like to turn him and Bart into these depressed characters that people can “relate” to but it’s honestly stupid. Stop wasting time watching this and go talk to somebody about your depression. Or if your here just for the chill music, then enjoy it.
@@werunthat Meh. I do doubt that Groening and the other creators ever intended him to have *that* much depth, but if recontextualizing it to create a new, relatable experience is helping someone out, or hell, just turns out as interesting or entertaining, who's it hurting? :P
@@werunthat I agree with you, angry dude.
If you watched the show, you KNOW that Homer mostly has a comedic purpose. He's just plain stupid. There are a few episodes where he gets sad, but 95% of the time, he's just a big happy idiot.
This makes me sad but also joyful
Just crazy how I came across this entire concept of Simpsonwave when I was in highschool and now I get this surge of regrets 8 years later.

+Brandon Smith and yet an alcoholic overweight dumbass doesn't give you a sign about why he's like this?
huh? i wasn't confused about why he's like this. I was jus sayn this video really brings all that too reality, cuz in the show it's funny to see him be a dumbass and things always work out because its a cartoon. But for Homer in reality, this video depicts it well and shows how dark and depressing Homer's life really can be without the humor from televison. Idk man, I just really like this video thas all.
+Ya Mate James talkin to the other guy
+Defiant Kritic oh shit my bad lol
guy in a 15+ year marriage has a terrible fight with his wife, and goes out with his boys. gets a little too drunk and makes a stupid mistake. he half-admits his adultery to his suspecting wife, who is too scared to face the problem because she just doesnt want to be alone at her age. the husband is so over-racked with guilt, thinks about his highschool sweetheart and all the love they had, now contemplates suicide repeatedly. it wasnt until he got support from his (dead)mother (from a pill induced dream) he began to think about his daughter, and how he wanted to be there for her in times like these. he vows to be a better father and husband, unlike his father. he still lives with his family, even shared a passionate kiss recently with his estranged wife, but he still sleeps on the couch. he sat with his daughter one morning waiting to drive his to school, they both slowly began to realize that it was never going to get better, and then his wife called to him, "homie?"
Is this what this episode is about?
Harrison Fuck man im crying like freshly popped out newborn reading this.
Not at all what happened in the episode.
Harrison Fantastic writing dude!
In my interpretation the narrative follows Homer on a downward spiral. Hes hurting. And he's not sure how to put his feelings into words.
The repeated shots of him running are representations of him trying to escape the negative emotions, however the cycle must continue. And he will end up at Moe's again, and he will end up in another women's room to find some relief.
Another repeated shot is Homer listening to music in his chair. I think this is similar to what a lot of us do when we're having a bad day or a rough time, we isolate ourselves with our favourite music. Maybe he watches the sun come up every night
One shot i find to be quite powerful is 1:43 . Homer walks through the bowling alley he used to work at. It's told in an episode (and Maggie Makes Three) that Homer gave up his dream job to support his third child. Maybe he walks through and wonders what life would be like if he had continued to do a job he loved
His family know he's struggling (Marge waits up for him at 1:09 and Lisa searches for the right words at 3:29 ) but it can be very difficult to know what to say to a loved one at their time of need. You don't want to make the situation worse for them
As the video continues I feel Homer's hurt can be drawn from a constant need of alcohol (seen in Moe's multiple times), a poor self image (seen looking in the mirror at 3:33 and comparing how he looks to his younger self) and his mother departing from him ( seen driving away). He reaches the point where even going outside looks scary ( at 3:12 outside is a void and he becomes a deformed digital copy of himself upon leaving)
Its not untill Homer works up the courage to pick up the phone and ask for help (at 2:51) do we see things start to change. One specific session of over the phone therapy touches a nerve with Homer (possibly finding a source of his depression. Could be his mother like you suggested )
Now we finally see the Homer we grew up with as kids, able to battle his inner demons for the good of his family. Lisa gets her dad back, and Marge gets her "Homie".
Geez, now you've done it. Tears comin on.
Man, what makes this even deeper for a meme song. Is that sad realization that one day (if not already) we will all have to say goodbye to our mothers.
This was my introduction to HOME. I still laugh knowing it was a Simpsons synthwave edit. I don't know if nostalgia is what HOME makes me feel, but it's certainly something like that. No matter what corner of the internet I go to, HOMEs music still seems to find me, 7 years later.
Not gonna lie. This made me tear up.
Just seeing everyone so sad made me sad.
Especially Homer.
Great vid, man.
Beautiful... Absolutely beautiful.
neurofibromatosis, fuckboy.
thats... ok. why
+Richard Lane Why is it beautiful?
shay Magleby no why he said a degenerative brain disease then called you a fuckboy. The reply to user button isnt working on the regular youtube page, idk.
+Richard Lane Ah gotcha
I still look back at the time this video released, looking back to where I was standing at that point in my life, and honestly I'm thankful you've done this piece of art with media that I can relate to in so many ways, that I could never describe enough and point out all the details I love from it.
Every now and then I still come back and think how we're all going to go through a crisis of our own, how I'm still fighting things since that point, how time waits for no one and how we try to make the most of it.
I hope you're doing alright.
You never really think about how much Homer's been through when you're watching the show.
*I'M NOT CRYING, SOMEBODY PUT TEARS ON MY PILLOW*

+ledzeppelin711 damn you're right
The older I get, the more it feels sad.
remember watching this many, many years ago. came back to it. life hurts sometimes...
I see a story. I see a lonely, middle aged man who lost the love of his life. Since the death of his wife, he has constant flashbacks of their relationship; flashbacks of much happier times. Because of his depression, he whores around with women and drinks excessively, trying to fill that emptiness inside him. Because of this, he disconnects from his young daughter. One day, he encounters some sort of spiritual journey, and on this journey he manages to reconnects with his deceased wife. Only then, was he able to learn to let go and move on to live a happier life with his daughter.
+Jose A. Mendoza-Huijon I think you hit the nail on the head.
+Borichamo LMAO
+Jose A. Mendoza-Huijon I interpreted it as a divorced father, the divorce striked him really hard, that's why he seems so melancholic all the time, and also it explains why in the last minute he makes a call and he appears to be spending time with his daughter.
+Jose A. Mendoza-Huijon I was about to comment this jesus
And that's why the video is named "ＣＲＩＳＩＳ"
I'm sad too like all of you, but i need you all to realize that this video is HOPEFUL! Homer found meaning in the end, and so can you. DO. NOT. GIVE. UP.
That is so true
the only comment thats realized this lol
I have literally no idea why I need ed to hear this, nor why im responding to a comment of 2 years ago
But thank you
Thanks Matt, not going through anything myself, but I hope you’re doing well
Shouts out to the people feeling their heart strings being pulled from this beautiful song. I love you and the universe loves you! Just know that's there's art in this world that makes us feel whole
6 years ago, listening to this in my bedroom with the window open letting in a fresh summer breeze and lots of natural sunlight. The bedroom is clean and the house is calm. My life was calm back then.
This type of Music gives me a feeling that i cant describe , i love it.
Almost the emotion that accompanies nostalgia, but without actually reminiscing about anything in particular. A rare and unsettling decoupling that is quite addictive.
yeah
That's how you know a song is really good
Why am I feeling nostalgia for a time I wasn't even born in?
Arnar 1998
ayy lmao vapor wave has that effect I guess. I was born in 2000 but I remember VHS tapes clearly so maybe that's why i feel nostalgia.
PixelReviver maybe the "feeling nostaligia over a time you didn't experience"-phenomenon can simply be described as a love for a time period because you, as a person, wanted to experience that time but did not get to do so. The Renaissance was created out of love and fascination for the ancient greeco-roman culture for example, because people wanted to experience what it was like. I have always adored the 80's subcultures so maybe this is an answer to why.
I'm feeling it too...
PixelReviver same as you, god, i wish i had some friends who felt the same way towards vaporwave as i do, sharing this with somebody must be perfect
"Don't cry because it's over.
Smile because it happened."
I miss 2017 when i discovered these vaporwave things.
Life Is really fast and you gotta enjoy the ride while Is happening because when you look back, you'll see how far you are now
Thx for reading stranger
