Haven’t heard this since I was probably 13. Being 22 now I really understand the lyrics and how simple life used to be back back then. I’ve come to learn it’s hard and firm out on the curb again
My only child, Travis Robert FE 32, passed 6 months today 💔😭 He loved Watsky 💞 This album especially this song is special to me because Travis will never be on the curb again 💙🪽💜🪶 He struggled his whole life, but never gave up his dreams 🙌 I love you my Travis 💞😘😘
As a "loser", i cry to this song allways, i feel like it's my own voice sing in it to myself. I'm allways trying, and i hope someday i'll get better at something. "Because I might just cry if I don't keep it moving I focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined" Like something i repeat to myself for not to brake apart.
I remember being 15, this was the first CD I ever owned, my gma gave it to me for Christmas. We had to go to multiple stores to find it. Then finally one store said they’d help us get it, I didn’t know shit about getting music back then, I’m 23 now. The stores didn’t have the album, we had to order it. Once I got it I was in love. I remember crying and laughing with this CD, it was my favorite. And to this day, it’s still my favorite album I have EVER owned. Listening to this makes me wish times were as simple as they were then. But, it is was it is.
i dropped out of college a couple months ago and now im listening to this song and trying not to cry as i fill a digital art portfolio for a job job offer i just got doing what i wanted to go to school for in the first place. thank you so much.
Just keep looking forward and don't let anything get you down. If you reach a low point you can remember that after that things will get better. Takes a lot to say anything about your personal life, but good luck to you and stay strong. DDD
Dont be hard on yourself, im 31 and im currently putting together yet another portfolio of digital art...its never too late to work in the art industry, as long as your an expert of your craft they'll accept you...hang in there
at half a century approaching me and nearly behind me, I'm still that kid building Cardboard castles too, and I owe alot of my life, good and bad to him. thank you for the song.
Best comment. It's amazing that even someone who's lived and gained the experience and wisdom of life can still be in awe of another's message. That's when you know something has value.
I was at work this song came on and made my day. I think I've listened to it about 13 times within the last hour. Wheeler Walker junior you couldn't hit this day on the nail, any better for me? Thank you much, sir, and f*** this job.
watsky that last shot of the kids pulling out with the depth of field and the cardboard crowns would have been the most perfect album art ever. not that yours is bad, just a very beautiful shot kudos to the cinematographer
Played a bunch of watsky jams for my kids. My 14 year old teenage boy loves this one. I think it resonates with him well. It did with me when you released it. Thank you
This song speaks volumes to me. Life isn't easy... some of us have it better than others... some of us come from humble beginnings, some from extravagance... don't give up - don't ever give up. Stay true to yourself and try to do right by others.
So my son has been having trouble in school with being bullied, he is only in the first grade... every time I play this song he comes to watch the video and it truly makes him happy so thank you
No but really. This makes me almost cry. We had it too. Me and my two cousins would every summer meet, steal some empty boxes from shops and hide in attic, making cardboard models. Not exactly castles, but anyway, great times. One of that cousins got in some trouble, the other one is now traveling to all possible mountains of the world and I work for a broadcasting company not being at home pretty much all the time. Lifes went on, but I still can't refuse that kid inside. ...just hoping the other ones have it the same. This song touched me deeply. Thank you.
+Corbin Is Alive The very first time I heard this song, it felt familiar. Same with Sloppy Seconds. Like, the feeling you get when you smell something you haven't in years. Like a deja vu. I feel like I listened to it years ago. Its kind of creepy how the vivid the feeling is. But indeed, a beautiful song.
I still have the CD for this, given to me by the friend who showed me your music and this song first. I'm really not a fan of rap and this completely changed my mind. I'll never forget this song.
glad to hear a lyrical musician who has a honest and positive method to their music. Thank you for rapping about things that make me want to do better.
back when this came out I was a homeless teen runaway, after dealing with neglect, physical and mental abuse at a very young age.. cardboard castles was all I had. I listened to music like this, OAK, and Wounded Healer .. even during the suicidal thoughts/attempts Watsky got me through. Thank you & God bless you Man 🙏🏾
Thank you, Watsky, for this excellent song. You've inspired me to do some writing... It’s all the same, just rather split apart The same, wholesome beating of the single Human heart Yet, there’s divisions in it, positions in each chamber Their positions win it, possessions, each who came here Their aimers set on targets to see who’ll get the farthest But, at harvest, their carcass, it just demolishes God just polishes the souls held within them With sins, them people better see how equal they really be And what thoughts they got when they talk about Their life in which they wrought as they walk around Using SAT words or four-letter-syllables From this, they’re indivisible, all this bad habit makin’ As long as there’s no separation of them from their nation In education, they either love it or hate it Depends on how you take it Like a pencil, you shouldn’t break it Just save it for a day when you can write a better statement.
George Watsky, I know you probably won't see this, but i really love your music. Anything that I want or even NEED to listen to, I can turn to you. I didn't like this song very much at first, but then I payed more attention to the video ad lyrics. I love your music, and if I didn't know about you, my life would be a lot harder. I'm so happy when I listen to your music. Some of it is so good, i start to cry. I really just want to thank you. Keep up the good work! ☺
Sat down in my room doing some paperwork, just started listening to this guy and i'm nearly crying hes that good.(no homo) Before i began to right this comment i saw some of the previous ones giving this guy shit for apparently nothing apart from the fact that he didn't like the music. Yo if you don't like it, don't fucking listen to it, i believe George (if that's his name) is doing just fine without your fucking criticism.
Every single one of his songs have a great background to it and that's why his songs bring tears to my eyes(sometimes)because it has a meaning to it. One of few artists that do it.
I have honestly never heard a rapper like Watsky. I love how he fuses harmonies and alternative essences into his raps. Honestly one of my favorite musicians ever.
Then why are you hating those people? The irony of stupid hypocrites makes me laugh everytime again. You are more heartless you wish people you dont even know to burn for eternity.
what the hell are you talking about how am i a hypocrite when there are people that live off of givng people hell disliking a video that has meaning so dont call me a hypocrite you little dweeb
codsniper31 That resolution has been around on youtube since 2010. It's a pretty common resolution for multi-monitor setups, and has been for years. I think that's what he meant.
Comments like this aren't cool cause like if the kid playing him comes and reads the comments he's gonna feel really shitty and he could be a really cool guy in real life
This song is a glowing example of how powerful lyrics and music can be! I am moved. Heard it much before but saw it just now. You deserve more commercial success. You are no doubt an accomplished singer. A big fan of yours....
Bro, I am having a HORRIBLE day. I’ve listened to this song like ten times. For the good you do, your karma must be great. Thanks GW and I wish you continued success.
one of these days im going to make it to one of your shows, youve given me life and taught me so much i just hope you know there are some people who understand what youre doing and who appreciate it whole heartily. ive been listening to you since i was 10 maybe younger im not sure but youve shown me a light that ive seen in other artists but this light gives me the power to move forward and to do good even through all the negative and narcissistic energy , it shows me the good in people and life and its made me who i am today. thank you so much for everything George.
I first listened to this song when I was 13, now I'm 24 with one kid and another on the way. haven't stopped dreaming since. always wanted to be a music artist and now I'm about to drop my third album. time flies.
I relate to this. This song made me cry when I first heard it. I was sitting "on the curb again" not knowing my next move. Id officially like to thank my guardian angels, the king of kings, my mother, my grandmother and my TRUE friends for standing by me when I looked like a losing proposition, a stupid gamble, a useless investment. Love my neighbors and i exfoliate with the tears of my haters. Im building my Taj Mahal...out of zebra duct tape and construction paper. Special thanks to you George. Your music is an inspiration. Ive officially fallen in love with your talent and brave intelligence. Keep changing the world - one view at a time 💎💓👣
I don't know for sure, but i feel the question that you are asking here is if the boy is friends with the girl? And I was wondering the same, actually. It's a good question.

I used to listen to this on loop years back. Had forgotten about it. Came across it today and it made me well up inside.
Watsky so nostalgic always,2014 biggest year!
Same though
This takes me back to 2014. Back then i didn't realize how good life was at that moment.
Are you still dreaming after all these years?
I'm so glad you had that feeling.
I'm a new Watsky fan, housemate suggested a song and I fell in love and played him over and over.
Haven’t heard this since I was probably 13. Being 22 now I really understand the lyrics and how simple life used to be back back then. I’ve come to learn it’s hard and firm out on the curb again

I'm so sorry momma, prayers up for you and Rest in heaven Travis. ❤
@@blasfemme Thank you 💔😭
That’s what music is all about. condolences ! Sending love from Arizona❤ never give up
Does anyone else get a sense of nostalgia when listening to this? Like you've heard it long ago?
An Advocate For Manga same
especially when he was sitting on the curb at the park with the street sign in the back that says longwood
An Advocate For Manga I think what you are feeling is what we in Portugal call "Saudade"
As a "loser", i cry to this song allways, i feel like it's my own voice sing in it to myself. I'm allways trying, and i hope someday i'll get better at something.
"Because I might just cry if I don't keep it moving
I focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined"
Like something i repeat to myself for not to brake apart.
Dude its gonna be ok life gives all of us punchs in the gut trust me ik where you are or were when you wrote this we have to keep moving
As a full-grown adult, I still feel this way!
We didn't deserve this man his music is so unique you could tell it was his vision coming to life.
My favorite line of his from any song is "we've got billionaire dumbf*cks, and geniuses driving garbage trucks" guy was ahead of his time.
"Because I might just cry if I don't keep it movin', and focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined." So. Fucking. Inspirational.
❤

And if your neighbor is your hater, move.

I'm still that kid building Cardboard castles too, and I owe alot of my life, good and bad to him.
thank you for the song.
You are almost 50 years old

Best comment. It's amazing that even someone who's lived and gained the experience and wisdom of life can still be in awe of another's message. That's when you know something has value.
I was at work this song came on and made my day. I think I've listened to it about 13 times within the last hour. Wheeler Walker junior you couldn't hit this day on the nail, any better for me? Thank you much, sir, and f*** this job.
watsky that last shot of the kids pulling out with the depth of field and the cardboard crowns would have been the most perfect album art ever. not that yours is bad, just a very beautiful shot kudos to the cinematographer
I'm 15 and grew up on your music, and rediscovering you in the middle of last year has made life bearabale again. ❤
Same here
Played a bunch of watsky jams for my kids. My 14 year old teenage boy loves this one. I think it resonates with him well. It did with me when you released it. Thank you
This song speaks volumes to me. Life isn't easy... some of us have it better than others... some of us come from humble beginnings, some from extravagance... don't give up - don't ever give up. Stay true to yourself and try to do right by others.
The video and the song both were very, very obviously made with a lot of sincere heart
ooooooooooooh shitstir sit on a sticky sticker shite
So my son has been having trouble in school with being bullied, he is only in the first grade... every time I play this song he comes to watch the video and it truly makes him happy so thank you
Cardboard Castles is Watksy's best album so far. although I'm liking what I'm hearing in x infinity
SilentAssassinX cardboard castles is great, but I have to say WATSKY is my fave album
All You Can Do was great!
SilentAssassinX can we all agree that all his albums are great? Haha
you said xactly what im thinkin
COMPLAINT is pretty good though
No but really. This makes me almost cry. We had it too. Me and my two cousins would every summer meet, steal some empty boxes from shops and hide in attic, making cardboard models.

Still good 11 years later
Watsky has a way of catching a vibe on his albums that just speak so clearly to me. I love it!
I heard the song before seeing the video, but wow.. the video actually made me smile and tear-up a little bit. Great direction. Great song.
I agree
Earthbound Rebirth kid's got a point. That's how you keep livin.

someone who actually gives a fuck in this day and age in the music industry. really reignites your faith in humanity :D
A decade later and this albumn is just what I needed in my life right now
Whoever reads this I want you to know you are beautiful/handsome and you are appreciated and you can do anything you put your mind to!
Yes, keep on keeping on.
Thanks ❤️, and so are you
Im 21 and youre one of the top 10 artists of all time to me. You kill every track. Word up Watsky
Bro is 30 now
this takes me back 45 years
Dude I absolutely love your music and I love all your songs. Keep doing what you're doing I don't know how I would live without you and your music.
I think it's amazing that george will ALWAYS upload his own music.
Happy birthday song. Thank you for being 💕
This song has helped me through far to many funerals, yet I can still listen to it to get inspired, this is the magic of music
I had to come back to this 3 years later 😭😭
Is it cuz your on the curb again?
jms onesevenO at least you tried.

good luck
oh yeah
back when this came out I was a homeless teen runaway, after dealing with neglect, physical and mental abuse at a very young age.. cardboard castles was all I had. I listened to music like this, OAK, and Wounded Healer .. even during the suicidal thoughts/attempts Watsky got me through. Thank you & God bless you Man 🙏🏾
1:15 bruh don't leave the drill press on man
I always thought it was called a pillar drill, maybe different countries call it different names.
Oliver Perkins Could be. Countries can never agree on anything linguistic at all. You in the UK? Pillar Drill sounds british to me
+Ben Majora it is :)
was gonna say from the cut you can see the drill slowing down he played it safe and shut the head off before releasing the counter
this was such a lovely video..it made me feel the feelings
2021 still rocking since pale kid raps!!! Love you man Come back to us!
If I switch this to HD I see his moustache
Haven't heard this in years im back and listening in 2019 anybody else?
2020 bitch. #getrekt
I'm still dreaming after all these years
This is my final goodbye of existence. This song is memory. Well done sir. Thanks.
This song has quite literally saved my life a few times.
im still dreaming after all these years
I don’t think watsky is will ever truly know how many lives he’s touched with his music.
"I still gotta believe people are good at the core"
Not gonna lie. This made me a bit teary.
Me too I love this song!
This song feels like it's what I'm missing, but I'm also already full.
for real tho
Me too. I got goosebumps.
This is so good omg why is there not over a million views everyone needs to hear his music..I want Watsky to be in the top ten on Itunes
I've never seen the full music video but this is so sweet. I can't handle.
Thank you, Watsky, for this excellent song. You've inspired me to do some writing...
It’s all the same, just rather split apart
The same, wholesome beating of the single Human heart
Yet, there’s divisions in it, positions in each chamber
Their positions win it, possessions, each who came here
Their aimers set on targets to see who’ll get the farthest
But, at harvest, their carcass, it just demolishes
God just polishes the souls held within them
With sins, them people better see how equal they really be
And what thoughts they got when they talk about
Their life in which they wrought as they walk around
Using SAT words or four-letter-syllables
From this, they’re indivisible, all this bad habit makin’
As long as there’s no separation of them from their nation
In education, they either love it or hate it
Depends on how you take it
Like a pencil, you shouldn’t break it
Just save it for a day when you can write a better statement.
The cuteness is killing me, bless Watsky for the positive messages and his outlook on life.
Watsky you are a God. You inspired me so much
50,000 more guys, get er to a million!
George Watsky, I know you probably won't see this, but i really love your music. Anything that I want or even NEED to listen to, I can turn to you.

Alright, Watsky's officially the best artist ever. He writes real stuff.
Awww I had already heard and loved this song, but seeing the video is even cuter and sweeter
I don't know about you guys but Watsky is one of the few who always seems to sing from the heart and that's something I love and respect.
Wow, I'm impressed TH-cam has been mature enough to avoid commenting on "Hard and firm out on the curb again". Good Job! Wait... crap.
well... you did not spesifiy what that ment so,we will let it slide XD
This is the cutest love story I've seen in a long time, lol.
Derek Skinner still better than twilight
by far the most beautiful music video and song combo I've come across so far.
George Watsky , you are frucking awesome ,and I don't care what other people say about you I love you
Damn this takes me back. 🥲 We’re getting old y’all.
Thanks for sharing a little bit of joy...
watsky is so fucking amazing, im glad i saw him in concert

He's said before he likes to draw inspiration from artists he's a fan of so i wouldn't doubt if the beat was inspired by it.
