For me personally, Fallen Down is akim to finding that peaceful and happiness you have when you're a child. Everyone's there. Your dad watching TV, sibling doing their thing in the living room, mom cleaning the house, you might hear clanking noises of plate once in a while and your frandma, sitting on her chair. Everything is peaceful and relaxing.
i love how people say that fallen down makes them comfy and homey, for me fallen down is like listening to all my anxiety revolves around me, my fears; it makes me want to cry, but it’s like nothing bad will happen if i do.
Fallen Down has such an impeccably simple tune, yet the way its moved so many people (and I will easily admit, myself included) is astonishing. How it manages to create such vivid emotions in countless different minds is not something worth questioning simply because there is no answer.
I agree, but there is a simple answer. For the small, main, instantly recognisable section: In the lower part a D major chord is being played, but the melody on top implies F# minor - it goes from F# to C# downwards repeatedly. Given the D major chord, you'd expect it to go down to D instead of C#, which would sound "happy" because it would keep in the major key. But instead it unexpectedly goes down further to a C# - creating part of a minor chord in the melody. This makes it strangely melancholic - it implies a faint sadness hidden in the happy major chord. The way the melody repetitively goes downwards from F# to C#, F# to C# steadily also gives it a kind of persistent tugging, yearning feeling. Toby is a genius.
fallen down sounds like you'd die and you're in the afterlife searching for someone you love, but you cant remember what they look like. You just keep walking, looking for someone you know you'll never find
Eventually, maybe, you feel like you are getting closer, and closer to the edge of giving up, but your "determination" won't let you. *It won't let you be free.*
some people say this song is sad some people say this song is scary and some say its happy i think its all of those things... Fallen Down is a completely different emotion.....
yeah. it's... home. it probably is triggering a years-old memory and theres people who got into undertale at some of the worst points in their life, me being one of them. it's kinda like the moment you realize you can be safe. not that you are currently safe, not necessarily, but that you can be. it's some twisted mix of hope and frustration, jealousy, years of pent-up trauma, and it just sorta pops at some point into a more refined feeling. this is the song that plays when toriel saves frisk/the player from the game's main big bad. it's also titled after what happens when a monster dies. so yeah, complicated.
I think it's supposed to convey a feeling of falling into the underground, it'd a hill other world basically but your still met by this worm relaxing welcome by Torial thats supposed to make you feel at home.
Fallen Down just feels like you've lost hope in everything and slowly losing your sanity over time. But the VHS tape version just feels...different like your watching the documentary of your great great grandpa losing everything during a big war. Losing his son, his hope, his wife, and crying trying to have faith and hope but...everything is lost at that point. There is no where to go he is to sad and depressed to move on...
this song gives me a certain feeling of my childhood back, even though i have never heard it when i was younger, i still connect it to the weird dreams i had when i was a kid. those weird dreams felt exactly like this song. kind of scary but also comforting, you want to wake up but also feel safe enough to dream on. curiosity mixed with anxiety and the excitement to meet a new world. i love fallen down.
“As the dog sits he imagines he will meet his owner again…. “ “As years past by he still sit there at the same spot to keep remembering its owner…” “Soon, the dog will meet its owner…” “We hope.”
Dude as soon as i heard this i felt comforted like someone was there for me or hugging me- it so weird and stuff but i felt happy, this is the version i’ve been trying to get, tysm, have the best day :)
There are terrifying things: growing up, getting old, dying and not knowing what’s next or if you’ll have done enough to get a “good ending.” But for a moment, I can sit in my living room and I can listen to this because it makes me aware that I have a bit of time in this slow night to do so.
At the state im in, dying isnt a worry but being even more of a disappointment is.. i have never been a gifted child however i like to listen to this song while i try study in hopes someone will be proud of me
Fallen down just feels like the song that stands for waiting for and hoping for someone who has died to come back to life but deep down knowing they're never coming back Fallen down sounds like hopeless hope Edit:I see all of you in the replies and if you advice,someone to vent to,or just a friend I'm here and I'll find a way to communicate with you :] just tell me if you need someone
You turn on some music and tuck yourself into bed. You can see the moon glowing through the small gap in between your window and the curtain. You slowly close your eyes, the scent of smoke being the last thing you smell before your eyes stay glued shut for the rest of eternity.
May I continue? Eternity always seemed... Short to you.This black void of space you were in was your own thoughts, free of judgement, worries, responsibility. You were free! It wasn't quite as scary as your few "friends" had mentioned. You decided to test it, you wanted to know what the "end" everyone thought of was like. It smells like warm vanilla... Or a home fireplace... It's dark all around but warm, not too warm more like being under a blanket with the perfect temperature pillow. You can hear a faint song much like the one you turned on before this eternal sleep.You lean back settling into your surroundings. You feel something from behind you it was rather warm like sitting in front of a heater... It seemed to be... Hugging you. Every thing is so cozy maybe a nap would be okay.
@@Yamaguchi_Tadashi *You.. slowly opened your eyes, the Lights made your eyes hurt but it was.. something that you didn't felt for eternity. After blinking a few times you looked around, seeming To be some kind of hospital bed.. then you heard someone crying and yelling, it seemed like someone you knrw but.. you Just can't understand Who.. *The memories are flooding back* ((Sorry if this is bad, I wanted To continue your continotion,))
@@elifdurubarut7898 "Oh my god ### you're alive! I thought you were dead, that you were never gonna wake up. Can you breathe properly? Can you talk? Do you still see red or-", you mind wandered off and stopped paying attention, even then, you couldn't recognize what or who They were referring to, but it sounded familiar. You couldn't even recognize who They were. After all, it wouldn'tve mattered, they'd leave sooner or later, but it's surprising that they've been here for this long and is still going. You couldn't tell if that's a good or bad thing. "Right, I forgot. Stay there, let me get you some water.", that sentence made you remember a memory. You were in a field of flowers with Them, although you couldn't get a lot of details from it, you recognized those flowers were goldenrods, it was Their favorite after all. You spent a lot of time there with Them, it had an oak tree and you were laying on it with your back against it while you were hugging your knees, They were kneeling next to you with their backpack carelessly set aside. It was well-known for its forests. You were drinking some water while you were crying. "Hey, it's ok, it will get better when that fire ball rises once again! Don't forget that now Asteer Yii", you "hated" that nickname, They had to include THAT voice too when they said it. It was a dumb title you gave yourself when you were children, but even though it sounds incredibly stupid it still brings a smile to your face. After you were done and went to give Them their bottle back, They threw a paper origami bird in your face and yelled "Turkey pot pie!" and started running, you immediately went to chase them again. It's a good memory. "Hey ###, what are you looking at? Mesmerized by this holy Earth juice? Come on, do the gulps! I had to talk to people so that I could give you a drink. But, I made sure to make it extra wet, just for you!", still filled with that same clownery as before. They were holding a glass of water and sounded overjoyed to the point where they were a bit shaky, but why? Maybe you would find that out if there was ever a future for you. (sorry if this was too long or didnt fit i wanted to give them/Them some personality, i also wanted to continue your continuation)
@@bap3227 you take the water and drink it slowly. "There you go. Here - I'll take the cup." You give them the glass, and try to recount what had happened. You slouch back against the pillows, and a small shock reverberates up and down your back. The familiar feeling of pain. But with it, the glow of happiness...glimpses of more days spent in the sun with your friends, promises of chilly days and your family bringing you hot tea, all that was good in the world repeated again, and again. You remember you had a past, and emotions to fill it in. And you realize, with a past there must be a future as well. So you let go of that warmth. The comfort of eternity. Because although you have the discomfort, and the pain, and the sadness of living, you get to feel even happier than you could be if you chose 'forever'. So as you let go, and the coolness of the room around you fills in the gap where forever was, you smile. You make a promise to yourself that not everything would be OK. But some things would be. And that's enough. "Thanks."
@@spuhrinkul After drinking the water, you feel strange. You lay there staring at the ceiling. All of a sudden, the entire room starts shaking, the walls floating apart and the ceiling disintegrating into nothing. Scared, you sit up quickly. As you continue to look up, there are multiple stars twinkling like glitter in the night sky. And then, a large wrinkly pink cat flies in from the abyss. He has a golden floating crown atop his head, and he is sitting in front of you. “I am Sir Bingus, the almighty one from above. I have heard of your suffering and I have come with a message from my comrades and I; Big Floppa, Lil’ Floppa, Da Flop, Pop Cat, Hecker, Big Bingus, Old Bingus, and Baby Bingus.” As he finishes talking, you gasp. There was no water in the cup, it was the infamous lean! Bingus continues to tell you the message the godly ones had sent. “This is only a dream, mere mortal. You cannot escape the true cold grip of reality but I shall send you back to the mortal realm with the blessings of Bingus.” He bows down, and puts his head on yours. Suddenly, you are transported back to reality, but this time you have the power of Lord Bingus himself. you use his powers to make everything bad go away in your life. The pandemic comes to a stop; anyone who ever had covid or just caught it was suddenly revived and were perfectly healthy. The war going on between Russia and Ukraine had ceased, and everyone was at peace with eachother. News break out that Betty White, Stan Lee, Kobe Bryant and his daughter have come back and everyone is celebrating. Also, there’s no more “mr incredible becomes uncanny” memes in the universe. They died out. The end. 🗿
Fallen Down is a phenomenal piece of music. It manages to convey hope, but not the bombastic hope one may find at the end of (spoilers) Asriels fight. It's a hope that will never come to fruition. But it conveys a sense of safety, in the way that my entire body tingles for a moment upon listening to it. Fallen Down takes you from an artificially induced depression and wraps you up in a blanket telling you that by the end, you will rule the world. And that will never happen. But in a sense, you do. What many dont understand is that they have control over everything around them. With enough effort, you can rule YOUR world. So in a way, Fallen Down does give you the world. Your world.
The meaning is life. you’ll know what that means if you look hard enough. This isn’t cryptic just to be cryptic, there is a meaning, will it be found? Who knows?
I'm 15 now, but i remember when I was 6, growing up watching Star Wars with my family on the VCR and falling asleep on the carpet and waking up in my bed at about 8:00 in the morning on a Thursday, going downstairs, getting some toast, sitting down in front of the TV and just watching some good ol' cartoons while all my siblings were at school but I wasn't because kindergarteners only had school every other day. What happened to that life? Why can't we go back?
Life was rigged from the start, it’s starts you at your highest and ends you at your lowest. You don’t even get to know if there’s method behind the madness, that’s the cruelest part.
Life just feels like its slipping away and there is nothing you can do about it your old friends disappearing time going by family members going one by one until most things and people you were born with are gone and then you do what happened to every thing else just slip away and the only thing left is your legacy. So live life and use it to get every little thing out of it and don’t just say and think. You need to enjoy life with the people around you while you can so you can say in the end, you did it you lived your own life. Sorry it was a bit deep but i needed to get it out.
This is the feeling of logging off after that one night. You all said you'd be back tomorrow. But you couldn't, and eventually you lost interest in something you held so dearly. Your friend group starts to drift apart, and you know it will never be that way again. You will never stay up with them playing that one game or doing that one thing again. You are happy you got to experience it, but why the hell did it have to end?
I had a friend that I played with on the xbox one. We had a lot of fun, we didn't know anything about each other, but we enjoyed each other's company. I don't know where my friend went, but I still have them on my friends list, hoping they'll come online again. It's been years man. I miss you, JumpyParrot1547
Woah, I never thought I’d feel this way about a song. It feels like a hopeless hope yet a sense of home. Knowing the people who you love and care about will never turn back into that sweet person they were, they’ll never be your mother, father, sister, brother or family ever again. But, you’ll still wait for them and never let go of the slowly fading memory that you and them once were. Sweet to sour, naive to poisoned or innocent to cursed. In whichever way you put it, it reminds me of people leaving but even if they’re only a memory now you’ll sit waiting patiently for them to come back but silently knowing in your heart that they aren’t coming back. A sense of hopeless hope from home. A memory you’ll grasp onto but it’s fading away. A memory of you and them that you know isn’t real anymore but you surround your entire world around it because you’re not ready to let go. Mentally nor, physically.
watching your friend of many years drive away, knowing you will never see them again, thinking of all the fun you had, and feeling the fuzzy memories mix with the emptiness in your heart. Looking through pictures of yourself, seeing how much you’ve grown, realizing that will never experience it again, realizing that hating yours of is hating the little angel you used to be, letting the bittersweet memories wash over you.
I never thought I would say this but it feels as if the weight of my heart and mind was left for a bit. It made me feel calm, relaxed, at home. Feeling the childhood I cherished so much before knowing how cruel the world was. My inner child feels at peace.
Sometimes I wish the experiences you go through in undertale were real, as if you got to experience this outside the game and you get to meet all these great people.
I have not grown up with VHS but something about this, I guess, aesthetic... I feel weirdly nostalgic about listening to it, nostalgic and calm at the same time. It's like I came from a long day of school, and tomorrow is Saturday and I can't wait with excitement to go play pretend, that I used to in my kid-years, with my friends. It gives me the feeling of childhood tranquility, that I don't need to worry about that many things, that there's always another day, the feeling of... something less stressful and safer. I think I'm just mumbling at this point with my broken English and sleep deprived brain, but I want to add that I zoned out a couple of times while writting-listening. It felt nice.
It's interesting how Toby was able to create feelings of nostalgia in his music. Nostalgia is a very very difficult emotion to make because it tends to come from age of old memories, so making them from new ones is difficult
hey don't fall asleep there is still a lot to finish the battle but don't worry when it's over you will rest and the people who are no longer there too
This just makes me miss the old days being a kid. I remember for Fathers day, I had gotten my dad the game 'Last of Us' and I remember sitting with him, watching him play it on the Playstation 3. God man I miss those days, having a relationship with my dad and watching him play games.
This song just kinda hurts my chest in the best way possible. Like preforming a concert in front of a million people, but also hugging my grandma as a kid, and opening Christmas presents with my whole family, but also the end of summer, and when I have to leave my grandparents house after Christmas. It hurts but its a good hurt.
This song makes you look back on the good times, but knowing you'll never get that back again. A smile, as I relive those moments, yet tears that I can never go back to those days.
this song feels like its late at night and your in a car you dont where your driving to, it makes you feel like your the only person in the world,it feels like you can just in the moment and breathe.
I've read some of the comments and most say that for them fallen down feels like the comfort you get when you're finally home or how it's what it feels like waiting for someone who's definitely gone to come back . For me though, fallen down just feels like gut wrenching sadness , the type that comes with a failed attempt at getting comforted or comforting someone after a painful event . It's the failure and disappointment and the lopsided smile all at once. It's as if if you hadn't tried to comfort yourself or someone else it would've been less sad . Maybe it's the tune that's trying to be cheery but in the end just isn't.
i wish i knew how to do nostalgia covers or something just like that cuz it amazes me how you can make something new become old or make something old look older
This sounds oddly satisfying in many ways, its like you feel like when you get home after a day of hard work or school and you lay on your bed silent just looking at the roof until you've fallen down asleep and dream whatever your imagination can think of... And you feel in peace with the rest of the world
it’s 1991, you sit down in front of your small tv, slid in a vhs tape titled “undertale”, and sit back and press play. as the starting music plays, you’re filled with a sense of warmth and hope. you wonder if future generations will be able to experience this same comfort. you relax, and enjoy the movie.
This reminds me of my childhood. Sitting on the living room floor, chatting with my childhood friends. None of us cared about the future nor the past, only the present. The only worry we have was about what to play tomorrow. Now it's just me. It's not that i don't want to hang out with them now.. It's just that i couldn't. I can't emotionally connect with people, making people uncomfortable and feel awkward around me. I miss my younger self. I want to hug him and protect him from all the stuff he'd face in the future. I'll tell him "it's alright, you can talk to me." so this version of me never exists. I want to be there for him, because I know no one else was there for me. I want that little, optimistic and innocent boy to never feel what i felt.
this song always reminds me of the story of hachi for literally no reason. something about a dog sitting at a train station for as long as he could to wait for his owner that’s never coming back really feels reminiscent of this
As the school year ends, for me at least, I get REALLY nostalgic about almost my other life I didn’t know almost anyone I’m friends with and I wasn’t as happy with them as I am with my friends now. It has took me almost an entire 5 years to realize that, I saw one of them yesterday and they acted as if I didn’t know them at all, that’s when I realized that I’m better now than I used to be, I should be happy for what I have now and not what I used to have, this song feels so nostalgic and it hurts to me as I remember the past and the mistakes I made. Also today we got a shirt with the names of everyone in the school on the back, I had one that’s older I don’t keep in touch with anyone of them, it made me think I won’t know any of these people one day…
Fallen down can convey the feeling of victory after a hard battle,the feeling of going back to your childhood home, the feeling of hope and hapiness whilst making you feel hopeless, useless, it can make you feel like you want to give up, not wanting to continue. This is truly an amazingly written masterpiece which will live to be heard by the future generations. Thank you Toby
To me, Fallen Down feels like being a small child being caried up to bed after falling asleep in the car or on the couch, but still knowing everything you do now.
the moments of old memories in a gray world, where no one was happy because of how someone so special was gone. the kid didnt know what happened to the special person, they remembered small bits of memories of them, and wondered why they never came back. days later in the summer, the kid often played in the puddles in the gray world, and no one would pass by. just jumping in the puddles and even the kids yellow coat was grey, not a color was ever vibrant, it was all a grayscale. the sunrises would be pale, the sun would be white, the sky gray blue, the sunset dark. everything was dead, everyone didn't smile, even the kid didn't feel anything much, but kept smiling and playing in the rain. years later they witnessed many traumatic things, physical fights, drinking, etc. the world slowly began to gain color. the sun a little more colorful, and after something bad happened, they were sent to another place, and during that time, began to heal. they healed, and came back to their home, a little more colorful than last time. the sun was brighter, the sky a little more blue, but still a little gray. years passed by a year passed by and bad stuff happened to them again and they couldn't stop crying, and it became gray again. year after year the colors kept changing. now in 2023, the kid is no longer a kid, but a teenager, that see's things in colors, but its still slightly gray. healing takes time, and sometimes there will be setbacks, but the healing doesn't stop when things get bad. Healing will always take time.
I'm just listening to this in my chair with eyes closed, thinking about the past and everything that's led up to this moment...in a place of sheer uncertainty. Not knowing what's going to happen next. It's a really bittersweet feeling.
Man, hopeless hope as you described it hits me hard. I recently heard my dad had a heart attack from chronic dehydration and was 100 percent blocked in one of the arteries. The chances of him surviving were less than 11 percent. I didn’t really feel any emotions even though I knew I should’ve. In my heart I knew somehow he would make it, but the statistics threw me into the cold reality that he would probably die within the week. I visited him every day in the hospital and he started progressing, and here I am a month later back home. He is fully recovered with no disfunction of any kind, even though he entered the hospital without a heartbeat, DOA. (Dead on Arrival). What happened in the past week is nothing short of a miracle, and im extremely grateful that he’s still here today, and that I had that hopeless hope, and slowly but surely hopeless turned into a chance, which turned into a reality.
Every time I get anxious or upset I listen to this song. It feels like it takes away all of your troubles. It’s like a hug after a long, hard day. It feels like a home cooked meal from my mom. It’s comforting and warm. I understand why they use it for weirdcore videos. It feels like finally accepting that someone has died. It has the sadness of a funeral but the warmth and kindness of a hug. This song beautiful.
am i the only one whos reading all the comments and all of them are like "fallen down is like waiting for someone and knowing that theyre not coming back" and well, yes as a person whos had that happen to them many times, this song (at least to me) feels like the calmness after going through so much pain, so many horrible things and then happy thats its over. it gives me a sense of happiness, true happiness. to know that everything youve gone through is over. you dont need to worry about being homeless, redoing high school, getting heartbroken, or having your friends die because you were too mentally burned out to help. you can finally relax after so many years of suffering. tl;dr: basically just i think this song sounds like finally being able to relax instead of waiting for someone to come back LMFAO SORRY FOR THE TRAUMADUMP
This just feels like... Giving me old memories and what to come in life... And I used to remember playing with my old friends and my sister at home... I don't know how a simple melody has made me... You know... Think about my young ages... And I just feel so still... Like I'm home, after a tough battle... I hope this message gets through people, and I hope this video will penetrate young memories back again for others. This melody makes me feel safe... Like when my mom and dad used to cuddle me and tell me stories when I was little... (sobs irl) I feel so still...
This makes me feel like I'm in one of those vibe video covers, looking out onto a town, wile listening to music via VHS, chilling. I love the way it sounds, keep up the great work.
This gives me such a sense of safety, but yet my own demons linger beside me. I can almost picture me laying in a field on a dark starry night with the very demons that haunt my every waking moment, but yet the stars are frozen in place and so are we… The stars aren’t truly stars, but memories, faces, everything I’ve remembered in my life. Every good, every bad, and we both lay there and watch them over and feel it over again. We can lay there and take a moment to be frozen in time, to be able to sit there in the midst of space, and recollect what our life has been to this point. All the struggles, all the fears, all the losses, everything. All the things that made us me. Neither of us are very proud at the start, but by the end of remembering all we’ve gone through we are. Because we are still alive and still want to keep going, we just need a break from our crazy world to be able to watch the starry hazy memories again and remember why we do this, why we keep living, and why we can do these things. This song is what determination builds up from. Determination, courage, strength, everything comes from somewhere. This song takes us back to our cores to remember why we fight, who we are, and what we want to do. It renews our own energy to do those things. This song truly can fill you with determination.
I am now thinking about darker thoughts. I am writing this down to help distract myself from those thoughts. They are tough to think about and they may hurt and always exist, but there is also thoughts of beauty. I must never forget the beautiful things I get to see and experience. That is love. That is pain. It is an experience that each person has unique to themselves. My ups and downs, my smiles and frowns. They all make me who I am. And by the time I wake up and realize what it’s all meant to be- where it’s all going- I will be dead. A stain on an infinite canvas left to be forgotten in the void. But I am there. I cannot be forgotten because I was their. I had an impact. Each knot in the canvas I made means someone else will be affected by that knot. They will affect someone else, along with someone else, as well as someone else. The cycle repeats until the infinite void is filled. Once it is filled I will be completed. We all will. That is love, that is pain, that is life. Nothingness completed.
Have you considered doing something that requires complete attention, like your work or maybe an fps class shooter. With all these things you could completely focus on, you won't have much headspace for intrusive thoughts. Though when it ends you might crash. I have not experimented enough with this coping technique yet to prove it works. I just hope the technique makes me less lazy. One thing that does help is mixing intrusive thoughts with positive stuff. A voice in my head keeps telling me, "Remember to do good" and my response is, "Whatever that means to you." Also maybe play omori and open some doors. It helped me to learn to Calm Down and left me satisfied like I ate an awesome and satisfieing meal for a few days. Solving problems help, but so does rationalizing away the anxiety. I felt soooo much freer and the intrusive thoughts hurt less. Solving it removes the weight, though maybe temporarily. I believe rationalizing the phobia away should provide a permanent boost, but I don't know. I just want this here the song isn't comforting to me,but here I am this feels like my electronic diary now goodnight and sweet dweams.
im not sure how, but this is genuinely beautiful ive been falling on hard times recently, and this is starting to help this genuinely made me lightly smile a tear has almost fallen down my cheek thank you i want this at my funeral
Just think about it, in 10-20 more years or so, we're going to be playing this as nostalgia from our childhoods/teenagehoods, and our future children would be asking "what's that boomer song called? it actually sounds nice" _and we'd end up having the storytime of our life with the next generation_
It's crazy how people can take a sweet goat lady's theme and give it so much backstory:) Fallen down just makes me wish that there was a route in undertale that will just let you stay with Toriel, forever.
This song feels like it's the end of someone's life. I don't know why, but it just does. It's unsettling, if you think about it. I'm not scared of dying, but the fact that I will one day be forgotten. I don't know what lies ahead for me, but I'll be prepared soon enough...I hope.
this feels like sitting on the edge of an abandoned subway tube, where the ceiling has caved in and the moonlight and rain can reach the rusted rails. you're all alone. no-one can hurt you here. not anymore. you can feel the warmth of someone next to you, and you lean into it, caught by someone who isn't really there. were they ever there? were *you* ever there? the rail's not really abandoned. there is someone next to you, holding you close. you aren't underground. you're on a bench in a park during a storm, with that person's coat over your shoulders. you're safe. you cry. they comfort you. you miss the rails, you say, you miss the gentle moonlight that lit up the rubble and the empty spot next to you. 'i know,' they say, as comforting and understanding as ever, 'i know you do, but you're here now. and i'm here. you aren't alone. people can hurt you, but there's also people to help you afterwards. stay strong. i love you.' they could be a friend, a parent, a sibling, a lover, even a stranger. but they feel like home. and you are safe. nothing is wrong. just take a deep breath. step back from the edge of the rails. stare at the sky for what could've been the final time. turn around. leave. people care about you. never forget that.
Yes.. this is a safe feeling. Like it’s a rainy and foggy day, and someone is comforting you telling you everything’s gonna be all right, and that you’re safe.
This feels like remembering an old pet that died. IMA MAKE THE FEELING A WHOLE PARAGRAPH LETS GO- _Its a nice day outside . You open the curtains in your room. You start thinking about pets. "Hamsters are cute. Maybe a dog. I like cats. Oh...." You remember its name. Its your fault that ______ died. You miss it. You get teary eyes. "its just a _____ why am i crying?" You look around as if _____ were to suddenly appear again. You remember all the memories with _____. Its favorite food,its first photo,etc. You remember when you first got ____ and wish you could go back to that time. You look at all your photos of it. Goodbye,Friend.
Imagine,you've dreamt of going and discovering interstellar space and surprisingly you've passed the heliosphere and enter for an endless journey,leaving your family,friends and humankind,you're all alone,traveling to the unknown,it's been 237 years and you're still the same age unlike earth,you've been depressed,knowing there's no turning back,you've decided to enter another galaxy,finding that you had another home,another earth-like planet,you land your spaceship In the planet and you've decided to start a new life.Orbiting a star. (Interstellar Reference)
This is the same idea behind "Everywhere at the end of time" except this is less sad and more nostalgic, that's why it makes everyone fell safe and "at home"
Fallen down just gives these claming and soothing vibes as if your on a cliff, sitting down as you see the sun slowly set, soon seeing the bright shiny moon. It also gives vibes of a cold rainy afternoon, drinking hot cocoa as a warm blanket wraps around your body, and you watch your window as rain drops fall from the sky and race down the window.
Fallen down is the song without anger and sadness we all need.. Sometimes we all need to have a song like that.. It might not be now or for a while but we need that.. It isn't just linked too Undertale.. But to emotions.. A good song can be used in one media and everyone likes it.. A GREAT song can be used for MANY media and everyone likes it.. Fallen down is a great song in all :)
I don't know how to explain but fallen down gives me a feeling of home? like a warm feeling, a safe feeling as if I looked into the eyes of the one I love and finally felt okay again, feeling safe again. it's like watching the rain from inside your house in a warm and comfortable bed, in an endless hug with your loved one.
For me, "Fallen Down" gives me a feeling of emptiness. I can not improve, I try and fail every time. I just fall deeper and deeper. But... I feel like I can change. Someday.
fallen down feels like coming back to your cozy bedroom and feeling the comforting warmth of your bedsheets after the worst day you've ever had. it's welcoming, yes, but it doesn't heal your pain, you don't know if anything is gonna be able to do that right now
Its such a wonderful sound I don't know why but it makes me relaxed and I think about nothing as an overthinker it makes me feel so comfortable thank you
Edit: deleted this comment bc people were being toxic for little to no reason. Am I allowed to do anything without being pushed around? nope. be careful with what you comment bc u don't know what someones going through. I got broken up with yesterday for zero reason so i got kinda hurt by some of the replies :(
I dont know if you had the same experience but for many as a kid undertale felt like a home eating pie with toriel,joking with sans,gardening with asgore it felt safe.
This give me a feel of loneliness, alone in the dark with only campfire beside me, and anxiety of not knowing what lurkin in the dark, regret and dissapoint of what have happened, sadness, and at some point i feel comfortable and safe like im in home
I used to play Undertale with my big brother. He was a half brother but he means almost everything to me, he's a super good guy who's extremely zen. When I went to his house for the first time for a small visit, he introduced me to Undertale. in 2016, I wanted to do the all good ending and I tried my best, At that time he lived in an apartment with his friend sam, he moved out later on. We ordered food and I couldn't have had a better time ever, I miss him. Come back please Isaac.

I'm leaving a comment here so everytime someone likes I can come back to this song
It’s been a year come back 🥺🥺🥺
Comeback
Come

Come on, hop up.
For me personally, Fallen Down is akim to finding that peaceful and happiness you have when you're a child. Everyone's there. Your dad watching TV, sibling doing their thing in the living room, mom cleaning the house, you might hear clanking noises of plate once in a while and your frandma, sitting on her chair. Everything is peaceful and relaxing.
i love how people say that fallen down makes them comfy and homey, for me fallen down is like listening to all my anxiety revolves around me, my fears; it makes me want to cry, but it’s like nothing bad will happen if i do.
yeah
its the most sad melody for me n i turn it on every time i want to finish my sadest state
Sounds like something you’d hear in a backrooms video.
It's making me sad too
I guess you can say that it make you feel like you falling down huh
it is a weird sadness, I feel like if were about to die and I was remembering all my life
Fallen Down has such an impeccably simple tune, yet the way its moved so many people (and I will easily admit, myself included) is astonishing. How it manages to create such vivid emotions in countless different minds is not something worth questioning simply because there is no answer.
mf squishin all the vocab words into one sentence
@@carrotjuice8907 LMAO SO TRUE
Toby. Period.
@@carrotjuice8907 lmao
I agree, but there is a simple answer.
For the small, main, instantly recognisable section:
In the lower part a D major chord is being played, but the melody on top implies F# minor - it goes from F# to C# downwards repeatedly. Given the D major chord, you'd expect it to go down to D instead of C#, which would sound "happy" because it would keep in the major key.
But instead it unexpectedly goes down further to a C# - creating part of a minor chord in the melody.
This makes it strangely melancholic - it implies a faint sadness hidden in the happy major chord. The way the melody repetitively goes downwards from F# to C#, F# to C# steadily also gives it a kind of persistent tugging, yearning feeling.
Toby is a genius.
fallen down sounds like you'd die and you're in the afterlife searching for someone you love, but you cant remember what they look like. You just keep walking, looking for someone you know you'll never find
thank you, your description killed me
Eventually, maybe, you feel like you are getting closer, and closer to the edge of giving up, but your "determination" won't let you. *It won't let you be free.*

What kind of feeling?
some people say this song is sad some people say this song is scary and some say its happy
i think its all of those things...
Fallen Down is a completely different emotion.....
yeah. it's... home. it probably is triggering a years-old memory and theres people who got into undertale at some of the worst points in their life, me being one of them. it's kinda like the moment you realize you can be safe. not that you are currently safe, not necessarily, but that you can be. it's some twisted mix of hope and frustration, jealousy, years of pent-up trauma, and it just sorta pops at some point into a more refined feeling. this is the song that plays when toriel saves frisk/the player from the game's main big bad. it's also titled after what happens when a monster dies.
so yeah, complicated.
I think it's supposed to convey a feeling of falling into the underground, it'd a hill other world basically but your still met by this worm relaxing welcome by Torial thats supposed to make you feel at home.
To me, it’s home when you are in a place you have never been. It feels like nostalgia.
It's nostalgic.
I think the word you're looking for is 'melancholic'. Like a friend who acts like his having fun but seems sad on the inside.
Fallen Down just feels like you've lost hope in everything and slowly losing your sanity over time. But the VHS tape version just feels...different like your watching the documentary of your great great grandpa losing everything during a big war. Losing his son, his hope, his wife, and crying trying to have faith and hope but...everything is lost at that point. There is no where to go he is to sad and depressed to move on...
Or how cozy you are in a warm fuzzy blanket next to an open fire in a log cabin with all your friends are comforting one another just...being happy.

@beluga bruh its a joke it aint harsh
this song gives me a certain feeling of my childhood back, even though i have never heard it when i was younger, i still connect it to the weird dreams i had when i was a kid. those weird dreams felt exactly like this song. kind of scary but also comforting, you want to wake up but also feel safe enough to dream on. curiosity mixed with anxiety and the excitement to meet a new world.
i love fallen down.
“As the dog sits he imagines he will meet his owner again…. “
“As years past by he still sit there at the same spot to keep remembering its owner…”
“Soon, the dog will meet its owner…”
“We hope.”
Yep! That’s from my imagination!
Dude as soon as i heard this i felt comforted like someone was there for me or hugging me- it so weird and stuff but i felt happy, this is the version i’ve been trying to get, tysm, have the best day :)
There are terrifying things: growing up, getting old, dying and not knowing what’s next or if you’ll have done enough to get a “good ending.”
But for a moment, I can sit in my living room and I can listen to this because it makes me aware that I have a bit of time in this slow night to do so.
At the state im in, dying isnt a worry but being even more of a disappointment is.. i have never been a gifted child however i like to listen to this song while i try study in hopes someone will be proud of me
@@ibuki8440 hey, i'm very proud of you for working so hard!

I don’t think hearing music in the backrooms is determining, it could be a partygoer.
*You hear music, it has a feeling, a nostalgistic feeling.
*It fills you with DETERMINATION
>You hear beautiful music
>It fills you with nostalgia
You turn on some music and tuck yourself into bed. You can see the moon glowing through the small gap in between your window and the curtain. You slowly close your eyes, the scent of smoke being the last thing you smell before your eyes stay glued shut for the rest of eternity.
May I continue?
Eternity always seemed... Short to you.This black void of space you were in was your own thoughts, free of judgement, worries, responsibility. You were free! It wasn't quite as scary as your few "friends" had mentioned. You decided to test it, you wanted to know what the "end" everyone thought of was like. It smells like warm vanilla... Or a home fireplace... It's dark all around but warm, not too warm more like being under a blanket with the perfect temperature pillow. You can hear a faint song much like the one you turned on before this eternal sleep.You lean back settling into your surroundings. You feel something from behind you it was rather warm like sitting in front of a heater... It seemed to be... Hugging you. Every thing is so cozy maybe a nap would be okay.
@@Yamaguchi_Tadashi
*You.. slowly opened your eyes, the Lights made your eyes hurt but it was.. something that you didn't felt for eternity. After blinking a few times you looked around, seeming To be some kind of hospital bed.. then you heard someone crying and yelling, it seemed like someone you knrw but.. you Just can't understand Who..

"Oh my god ### you're alive! I thought you were dead, that you were never gonna wake up. Can you breathe properly? Can you talk? Do you still see red or-", you mind wandered off and stopped paying attention, even then, you couldn't recognize what or who They were referring to, but it sounded familiar. You couldn't even recognize who They were. After all, it wouldn'tve mattered, they'd leave sooner or later, but it's surprising that they've been here for this long and is still going. You couldn't tell if that's a good or bad thing. "Right, I forgot. Stay there, let me get you some water.", that sentence made you remember a memory.
You were in a field of flowers with Them, although you couldn't get a lot of details from it, you recognized those flowers were goldenrods, it was Their favorite after all. You spent a lot of time there with Them, it had an oak tree and you were laying on it with your back against it while you were hugging your knees, They were kneeling next to you with their backpack carelessly set aside. It was well-known for its forests. You were drinking some water while you were crying. "Hey, it's ok, it will get better when that fire ball rises once again! Don't forget that now Asteer Yii", you "hated" that nickname, They had to include THAT voice too when they said it. It was a dumb title you gave yourself when you were children, but even though it sounds incredibly stupid it still brings a smile to your face. After you were done and went to give Them their bottle back, They threw a paper origami bird in your face and yelled "Turkey pot pie!" and started running, you immediately went to chase them again. It's a good memory.
"Hey ###, what are you looking at? Mesmerized by this holy Earth juice? Come on, do the gulps! I had to talk to people so that I could give you a drink. But, I made sure to make it extra wet, just for you!", still filled with that same clownery as before. They were holding a glass of water and sounded overjoyed to the point where they were a bit shaky, but why? Maybe you would find that out if there was ever a future for you.
(sorry if this was too long or didnt fit i wanted to give them/Them some personality, i also wanted to continue your continuation)
@@bap3227
you take the water and drink it slowly. "There you go. Here - I'll take the cup."
You give them the glass, and try to recount what had happened. You slouch back against the pillows, and a small shock reverberates up and down your back. The familiar feeling of pain. But with it, the glow of happiness...glimpses of more days spent in the sun with your friends, promises of chilly days and your family bringing you hot tea, all that was good in the world repeated again, and again.
You remember you had a past, and emotions to fill it in. And you realize, with a past there must be a future as well.
So you let go of that warmth. The comfort of eternity. Because although you have the discomfort, and the pain, and the sadness of living, you get to feel even happier than you could be if you chose 'forever'. So as you let go, and the coolness of the room around you fills in the gap where forever was, you smile.
You make a promise to yourself that not everything would be OK. But some things would be.
And that's enough.
"Thanks."
@@spuhrinkul After drinking the water, you feel strange. You lay there staring at the ceiling. All of a sudden, the entire room starts shaking, the walls floating apart and the ceiling disintegrating into nothing.
Scared, you sit up quickly. As you continue to look up, there are multiple stars twinkling like glitter in the night sky. And then, a large wrinkly pink cat flies in from the abyss. He has a golden floating crown atop his head, and he is sitting in front of you. “I am Sir Bingus, the almighty one from above. I have heard of your suffering and I have come with a message from my comrades and I; Big Floppa, Lil’ Floppa, Da Flop, Pop Cat, Hecker, Big Bingus, Old Bingus, and Baby Bingus.”
As he finishes talking, you gasp. There was no water in the cup, it was the infamous lean! Bingus continues to tell you the message the godly ones had sent.
“This is only a dream, mere mortal. You cannot escape the true cold grip of reality but I shall send you back to the mortal realm with the blessings of Bingus.” He bows down, and puts his head on yours. Suddenly, you are transported back to reality, but this time you have the power of Lord Bingus himself. you use his powers to make everything bad go away in your life. The pandemic comes to a stop; anyone who ever had covid or just caught it was suddenly revived and were perfectly healthy. The war going on between Russia and Ukraine had ceased, and everyone was at peace with eachother. News break out that Betty White, Stan Lee, Kobe Bryant and his daughter have come back and everyone is celebrating. Also, there’s no more “mr incredible becomes uncanny” memes in the universe. They died out. The end. 🗿
Fallen Down is a phenomenal piece of music. It manages to convey hope, but not the bombastic hope one may find at the end of (spoilers)
Asriels fight. It's a hope that will never come to fruition. But it conveys a sense of safety, in the way that my entire body tingles for a moment upon listening to it. Fallen Down takes you from an artificially induced depression and wraps you up in a blanket telling you that by the end, you will rule the world. And that will never happen. But in a sense, you do. What many dont understand is that they have control over everything around them. With enough effort, you can rule YOUR world. So in a way, Fallen Down does give you the world. Your world.
that's pretty! your own world...
dude its like 11:30 pm.. im gonna cry, you should write a book
I don't care e if ur spoiling it this is still a amazing comment!!
The meaning is life. you’ll know what that means if you look hard enough. This isn’t cryptic just to be cryptic, there is a meaning, will it be found? Who knows?
The best explanation I've seen that's clicked with me.
I'm 15 now, but i remember when I was 6, growing up watching Star Wars with my family on the VCR and falling asleep on the carpet and waking up in my bed at about 8:00 in the morning on a Thursday, going downstairs, getting some toast, sitting down in front of the TV and just watching some good ol' cartoons while all my siblings were at school but I wasn't because kindergarteners only had school every other day.
What happened to that life? Why can't we go back?
Life was rigged from the start, it’s starts you at your highest and ends you at your lowest. You don’t even get to know if there’s method behind the madness, that’s the cruelest part.
Life just feels like its slipping away and there is nothing you can do about it your old friends disappearing time going by family members going one by one until most things and people you were born with are gone and then you do what happened to every thing else just slip away and the only thing left is your legacy. So live life and use it to get every little thing out of it and don’t just say and think. You need to enjoy life with the people around you while you can so you can say in the end, you did it you lived your own life.
Sorry it was a bit deep but i needed to get it out.
you're only 15, you're still in times that are simpler. cherish being a teenager it only lasts for so long. best of luck to you throughout life :)

This is the feeling of logging off after that one night. You all said you'd be back tomorrow. But you couldn't, and eventually you lost interest in something you held so dearly. Your friend group starts to drift apart, and you know it will never be that way again. You will never stay up with them playing that one game or doing that one thing again.
You are happy you got to experience it, but why the hell did it have to end?
This is so relatable but i wish it wasnt
That's what happen to me exactly lol. just wish I would enjoined it more. all good things must come to an end I guess
I had a friend that I played with on the xbox one. We had a lot of fun, we didn't know anything about each other, but we enjoyed each other's company. I don't know where my friend went, but I still have them on my friends list, hoping they'll come online again. It's been years man. I miss you, JumpyParrot1547
Woah, I never thought I’d feel this way about a song. It feels like a hopeless hope yet a sense of home. Knowing the people who you love and care about will never turn back into that sweet person they were, they’ll never be your mother, father, sister, brother or family ever again. But, you’ll still wait for them and never let go of the slowly fading memory that you and them once were. Sweet to sour, naive to poisoned or innocent to cursed. In whichever way you put it, it reminds me of people leaving but even if they’re only a memory now you’ll sit waiting patiently for them to come back but silently knowing in your heart that they aren’t coming back. A sense of hopeless hope from home. A memory you’ll grasp onto but it’s fading away. A memory of you and them that you know isn’t real anymore but you surround your entire world around it because you’re not ready to let go. Mentally nor, physically.
I cri its real
watching your friend of many years drive away, knowing you will never see them again, thinking of all the fun you had, and feeling the fuzzy memories mix with the emptiness in your heart.
Looking through pictures of yourself, seeing how much you’ve grown, realizing that will never experience it again, realizing that hating yours of is hating the little angel you used to be, letting the bittersweet memories wash over you.
It looks like a big hug from your comfort character... I can hear this whisper.. "It will be okay honey.. You're safe now.. "
I never thought I would say this but it feels as if the weight of my heart and mind was left for a bit. It made me feel calm, relaxed, at home. Feeling the childhood I cherished so much before knowing how cruel the world was. My inner child feels at peace.
i wish the world was as innocent as a child
nothing bad would ever happen
same
Sometimes I wish the experiences you go through in undertale were real, as if you got to experience this outside the game and you get to meet all these great people.
I have not grown up with VHS but something about this, I guess, aesthetic... I feel weirdly nostalgic about listening to it, nostalgic and calm at the same time. It's like I came from a long day of school, and tomorrow is Saturday and I can't wait with excitement to go play pretend, that I used to in my kid-years, with my friends.
It gives me the feeling of childhood tranquility, that I don't need to worry about that many things, that there's always another day, the feeling of... something less stressful and safer.
I think I'm just mumbling at this point with my broken English and sleep deprived brain, but I want to add that I zoned out a couple of times while writting-listening. It felt nice.
yeeaaah same...even though I pretty much have never used VHS, it gives me a kind of nostalgia as if I have experienced it in a past life...
it actually sounds like a vinyl record, VHS on the other hand will have a distinct buzzing tone to it.
It's interesting how Toby was able to create feelings of nostalgia in his music. Nostalgia is a very very difficult emotion to make because it tends to come from age of old memories, so making them from new ones is difficult
hey don't fall asleep there is still a lot to finish the battle but don't worry when it's over you will rest and the people who are no longer there too

Fallen down feels like listening to your first time seeing the person you love, and the last time.
This song just kinda hurts my chest in the best way possible. Like preforming a concert in front of a million people, but also hugging my grandma as a kid, and opening Christmas presents with my whole family, but also the end of summer, and when I have to leave my grandparents house after Christmas. It hurts but its a good hurt.
This song makes you look back on the good times, but knowing you'll never get that back again. A smile, as I relive those moments, yet tears that I can never go back to those days.
I find it fascinating that songs are able to convey such strong emotions to the listener without even using words or visuals
this song feels like its late at night and your in a car you dont where your driving to, it makes you feel like your the only person in the world,it feels like you can just in the moment and breathe.
I've read some of the comments and most say that for them fallen down feels like the comfort you get when you're finally home or how it's what it feels like waiting for someone who's definitely gone to come back .
For me though, fallen down just feels like gut wrenching sadness , the type that comes with a failed attempt at getting comforted or comforting someone after a painful event . It's the failure and disappointment and the lopsided smile all at once. It's as if if you hadn't tried to comfort yourself or someone else it would've been less sad . Maybe it's the tune that's trying to be cheery but in the end just isn't.
Listening to this while having a panic attack hits different. I feel so… comforted. And alone. All at the same time.
i wish i knew how to do nostalgia covers
or something just like that cuz it amazes me how you can make something new become old or make something old look older
This sounds oddly satisfying in many ways, its like you feel like when you get home after a day of hard work or school and you lay on your bed silent just looking at the roof until you've fallen down asleep and dream whatever your imagination can think of... And you feel in peace with the rest of the world
it’s 1991, you sit down in front of your small tv, slid in a vhs tape titled “undertale”, and sit back and press play. as the starting music plays, you’re filled with a sense of warmth and hope. you wonder if future generations will be able to experience this same comfort. you relax, and enjoy the movie.
This reminds me of my childhood. Sitting on the living room floor, chatting with my childhood friends. None of us cared about the future nor the past, only the present. The only worry we have was about what to play tomorrow. Now it's just me. It's not that i don't want to hang out with them now.. It's just that i couldn't. I can't emotionally connect with people, making people uncomfortable and feel awkward around me. I miss my younger self. I want to hug him and protect him from all the stuff he'd face in the future. I'll tell him "it's alright, you can talk to me." so this version of me never exists. I want to be there for him, because I know no one else was there for me. I want that little, optimistic and innocent boy to never feel what i felt.
Same man
this song always reminds me of the story of hachi for literally no reason. something about a dog sitting at a train station for as long as he could to wait for his owner that’s never coming back really feels reminiscent of this
As the school year ends, for me at least, I get REALLY nostalgic about almost my other life I didn’t know almost anyone I’m friends with and I wasn’t as happy with them as I am with my friends now. It has took me almost an entire 5 years to realize that, I saw one of them yesterday and they acted as if I didn’t know them at all, that’s when I realized that I’m better now than I used to be, I should be happy for what I have now and not what I used to have, this song feels so nostalgic and it hurts to me as I remember the past and the mistakes I made. Also today we got a shirt with the names of everyone in the school on the back, I had one that’s older I don’t keep in touch with anyone of them, it made me think I won’t know any of these people one day…
im p sure i have covid, so i needed a nap.
i had the most indescribable, but beautiful dream to this song on repeat. thank you.
This rendition reminds me of a friend I’ll never see again. Sad they are gone, but happy they stayed for awhile
Fallen down can convey the feeling of victory after a hard battle,the feeling of going back to your childhood home, the feeling of hope and hapiness whilst making you feel hopeless, useless, it can make you feel like you want to give up, not wanting to continue. This is truly an amazingly written masterpiece which will live to be heard by the future generations. Thank you Toby
This is so cool and comfy, loved it! It's wonderful
To me, Fallen Down feels like being a small child being caried up to bed after falling asleep in the car or on the couch, but still knowing everything you do now.
the moments of old memories in a gray world, where no one was happy because of how someone so special was gone. the kid didnt know what happened to the special person, they remembered small bits of memories of them, and wondered why they never came back. days later in the summer, the kid often played in the puddles in the gray world, and no one would pass by. just jumping in the puddles and even the kids yellow coat was grey, not a color was ever vibrant, it was all a grayscale. the sunrises would be pale, the sun would be white, the sky gray blue, the sunset dark. everything was dead, everyone didn't smile, even the kid didn't feel anything much, but kept smiling and playing in the rain. years later they witnessed many traumatic things, physical fights, drinking, etc. the world slowly began to gain color. the sun a little more colorful, and after something bad happened, they were sent to another place, and during that time, began to heal. they healed, and came back to their home, a little more colorful than last time. the sun was brighter, the sky a little more blue, but still a little gray. years passed by a year passed by and bad stuff happened to them again and they couldn't stop crying, and it became gray again. year after year the colors kept changing. now in 2023, the kid is no longer a kid, but a teenager, that see's things in colors, but its still slightly gray.
healing takes time, and sometimes there will be setbacks, but the healing doesn't stop when things get bad. Healing will always take time.
I'm just listening to this in my chair with eyes closed, thinking about the past and everything that's led up to this moment...in a place of sheer uncertainty. Not knowing what's going to happen next. It's a really bittersweet feeling.
WHY IS THIS SO AMAZING?- I fell asleep to this crying BUT I had really nice and nostalgic dreams! Ty for making this! :]
tell me about your dreams
Man, hopeless hope as you described it hits me hard.
I recently heard my dad had a heart attack from chronic dehydration and was 100 percent blocked in one of the arteries. The chances of him surviving were less than 11 percent. I didn’t really feel any emotions even though I knew I should’ve. In my heart I knew somehow he would make it, but the statistics threw me into the cold reality that he would probably die within the week. I visited him every day in the hospital and he started progressing, and here I am a month later back home. He is fully recovered with no disfunction of any kind, even though he entered the hospital without a heartbeat, DOA. (Dead on Arrival). What happened in the past week is nothing short of a miracle, and im extremely grateful that he’s still here today, and that I had that hopeless hope, and slowly but surely hopeless turned into a chance, which turned into a reality.
Music have never made me just cry like this has, words dont explain what this song makes me feel.
Thank you so much this makes me feel happy, even though I'm going to cry I still feel so happy.
Every time I get anxious or upset I listen to this song. It feels like it takes away all of your troubles. It’s like a hug after a long, hard day. It feels like a home cooked meal from my mom. It’s comforting and warm. I understand why they use it for weirdcore videos. It feels like finally accepting that someone has died. It has the sadness of a funeral but the warmth and kindness of a hug. This song beautiful.
I hear people talking about this song making them feel safe but I'm listening to it with my mam's loud snoring
am i the only one whos reading all the comments and all of them are like "fallen down is like waiting for someone and knowing that theyre not coming back" and well, yes as a person whos had that happen to them many times, this song (at least to me) feels like the calmness after going through so much pain, so many horrible things and then happy thats its over. it gives me a sense of happiness, true happiness. to know that everything youve gone through is over. you dont need to worry about being homeless, redoing high school, getting heartbroken, or having your friends die because you were too mentally burned out to help. you can finally relax after so many years of suffering.
tl;dr: basically just i think this song sounds like finally being able to relax instead of waiting for someone to come back LMFAO SORRY FOR THE TRAUMADUMP
it feels to perfect that this in in my recommended, minutes after I find about about technoblade’s passing. surreal
this song has never hit me harder😔
This just feels like... Giving me old memories and what to come in life...
And I used to remember playing with my old friends and my sister at home... I don't know how a simple melody has made me... You know... Think about my young ages... And I just feel so still...
Like I'm home, after a tough battle...
I hope this message gets through people, and I hope this video will penetrate young memories back again for others.
This melody makes me feel safe... Like when my mom and dad used to cuddle me and tell me stories when I was little...
(sobs irl)
I feel so still...
This makes me feel like I'm in one of those vibe video covers, looking out onto a town, wile listening to music via VHS, chilling. I love the way it sounds, keep up the great work.
This gives me such a sense of safety, but yet my own demons linger beside me. I can almost picture me laying in a field on a dark starry night with the very demons that haunt my every waking moment, but yet the stars are frozen in place and so are we… The stars aren’t truly stars, but memories, faces, everything I’ve remembered in my life. Every good, every bad, and we both lay there and watch them over and feel it over again.
We can lay there and take a moment to be frozen in time, to be able to sit there in the midst of space, and recollect what our life has been to this point. All the struggles, all the fears, all the losses, everything. All the things that made us me.
Neither of us are very proud at the start, but by the end of remembering all we’ve gone through we are. Because we are still alive and still want to keep going, we just need a break from our crazy world to be able to watch the starry hazy memories again and remember why we do this, why we keep living, and why we can do these things.
This song is what determination builds up from. Determination, courage, strength, everything comes from somewhere. This song takes us back to our cores to remember why we fight, who we are, and what we want to do. It renews our own energy to do those things. This song truly can fill you with determination.
Thanks for this VHS song
I am now thinking about darker thoughts. I am writing this down to help distract myself from those thoughts. They are tough to think about and they may hurt and always exist, but there is also thoughts of beauty. I must never forget the beautiful things I get to see and experience. That is love. That is pain. It is an experience that each person has unique to themselves. My ups and downs, my smiles and frowns. They all make me who I am. And by the time I wake up and realize what it’s all meant to be- where it’s all going- I will be dead. A stain on an infinite canvas left to be forgotten in the void. But I am there. I cannot be forgotten because I was their. I had an impact. Each knot in the canvas I made means someone else will be affected by that knot. They will affect someone else, along with someone else, as well as someone else. The cycle repeats until the infinite void is filled. Once it is filled I will be completed. We all will. That is love, that is pain, that is life. Nothingness completed.
Have you considered doing something that requires complete attention, like your work or maybe an fps class shooter. With all these things you could completely focus on, you won't have much headspace for intrusive thoughts. Though when it ends you might crash. I have not experimented enough with this coping technique yet to prove it works. I just hope the technique makes me less lazy. One thing that does help is mixing intrusive thoughts with positive stuff. A voice in my head keeps telling me, "Remember to do good" and my response is, "Whatever that means to you." Also maybe play omori and open some doors. It helped me to learn to Calm Down and left me satisfied like I ate an awesome and satisfieing meal for a few days. Solving problems help, but so does rationalizing away the anxiety. I felt soooo much freer and the intrusive thoughts hurt less. Solving it removes the weight, though maybe temporarily. I believe rationalizing the phobia away should provide a permanent boost, but I don't know. I just want this here the song isn't comforting to me,but here I am this feels like my electronic diary now goodnight and sweet dweams.
This thing made me truly feel comfortable, sad, happy and unlocked the hidden memories I forgot I had all at the same time
"We were just having fun, never thought we were making memories"
im not sure how, but this is genuinely beautiful
ive been falling on hard times recently, and this is starting to help
this genuinely made me lightly smile
a tear has almost fallen down my cheek
thank you
i want this at my funeral
Just think about it, in 10-20 more years or so, we're going to be playing this as nostalgia from our childhoods/teenagehoods, and our future children would be asking "what's that boomer song called? it actually sounds nice" _and we'd end up having the storytime of our life with the next generation_
that is if world war 3 doesnt happen!
*zoomer music as we werent born in a baby boom
Nah, my child would be in pain for one, calling me a boomer, and two, understand standing the emotions this song brings
This needs to be a 1 hour loop dude
It's crazy how people can take a sweet goat lady's theme and give it so much backstory:)
Fallen down just makes me wish that there was a route in undertale that will just let you stay with Toriel, forever.
This song makes me feel that it's okay to be on the edge, that it's okay to leave earth
This song feels like it's the end of someone's life. I don't know why, but it just does. It's unsettling, if you think about it. I'm not scared of dying, but the fact that I will one day be forgotten. I don't know what lies ahead for me, but I'll be prepared soon enough...I hope.
It’s sad knowing that (unless you are really famous) one day, the only person who remembers you will pass on.
this feels like sitting on the edge of an abandoned subway tube, where the ceiling has caved in and the moonlight and rain can reach the rusted rails. you're all alone. no-one can hurt you here. not anymore. you can feel the warmth of someone next to you, and you lean into it, caught by someone who isn't really there. were they ever there? were *you* ever there?
the rail's not really abandoned. there is someone next to you, holding you close. you aren't underground. you're on a bench in a park during a storm, with that person's coat over your shoulders. you're safe. you cry. they comfort you. you miss the rails, you say, you miss the gentle moonlight that lit up the rubble and the empty spot next to you. 'i know,' they say, as comforting and understanding as ever, 'i know you do, but you're here now. and i'm here. you aren't alone. people can hurt you, but there's also people to help you afterwards. stay strong. i love you.'
they could be a friend, a parent, a sibling, a lover, even a stranger. but they feel like home. and you are safe. nothing is wrong. just take a deep breath.
step back from the edge of the rails. stare at the sky for what could've been the final time. turn around. leave. people care about you. never forget that.
Yes.. this is a safe feeling. Like it’s a rainy and foggy day, and someone is comforting you telling you everything’s gonna be all right, and that you’re safe.
This music makes me feel good
It makes me think about birds
I like birds, they are pretty
-???
This feels like remembering an old pet that died. IMA MAKE THE FEELING A WHOLE PARAGRAPH LETS GO-
_Its a nice day outside . You open the curtains in your room. You start thinking about pets. "Hamsters are cute. Maybe a dog. I like cats. Oh...." You remember its name. Its your fault that ______ died. You miss it. You get teary eyes. "its just a _____ why am i crying?" You look around as if _____ were to suddenly appear again. You remember all the memories with _____. Its favorite food,its first photo,etc. You remember when you first got ____ and wish you could go back to that time. You look at all your photos of it. Goodbye,Friend.
this song reminds me of the old memories i had as a kid, truly nostalgic vibes ;)
Imagine,you've dreamt of going and discovering interstellar space and surprisingly you've passed the heliosphere and enter for an endless journey,leaving your family,friends and humankind,you're all alone,traveling to the unknown,it's been 237 years and you're still the same age unlike earth,you've been depressed,knowing there's no turning back,you've decided to enter another galaxy,finding that you had another home,another earth-like planet,you land your spaceship In the planet and you've decided to start a new life.Orbiting a star. (Interstellar Reference)
This is the same idea behind "Everywhere at the end of time" except this is less sad and more nostalgic, that's why it makes everyone fell safe and "at home"
This makes me feel safe. Safer than usual...Something i haven't felt in a long time.
well this is fake
Fallen down just gives these claming and soothing vibes as if your on a cliff, sitting down as you see the sun slowly set, soon seeing the bright shiny moon. It also gives vibes of a cold rainy afternoon, drinking hot cocoa as a warm blanket wraps around your body, and you watch your window as rain drops fall from the sky and race down the window.
This reminded me of old Minecraft videos. Those truly were the best videos to exist.
When I die, if I’m able to look back on my life, I feel like this song would play in the backround.
I think i'm in the safe place right now. it's... so nice i hope this music never stopped
What mede this more sad was the fact that I noticed the annoying dog isn't breathing but just smiling in its last moments.
This makes me feel like i came back home after a long, tiring trip.
This honestly reminds me of a memory that,to this day, I have no idea if it was real or a dream or just a good imagination...
Fallen down is the song without anger and sadness we all need.. Sometimes we all need to have a song like that.. It might not be now or for a while but we need that.. It isn't just linked too Undertale.. But to emotions.. A good song can be used in one media and everyone likes it.. A GREAT song can be used for MANY media and everyone likes it.. Fallen down is a great song in all :)
This is my forbidden sadness. This sound makes me wish for a simpler time that never existed
I don't know how to explain but fallen down gives me a feeling of home? like a warm feeling, a safe feeling as if I looked into the eyes of the one I love and finally felt okay again, feeling safe again. it's like watching the rain from inside your house in a warm and comfortable bed, in an endless hug with your loved one.
i love it, it makes me feel safe and sound like i can finally let go of all my.worries, but im scared and frightened at the same time
Thanks buddy
For me, "Fallen Down" gives me a feeling of emptiness.
I can not improve, I try and fail every time. I just fall deeper and deeper.
But... I feel like I can change.
Someday.
fallen down feels like coming back to your cozy bedroom and feeling the comforting warmth of your bedsheets after the worst day you've ever had. it's welcoming, yes, but it doesn't heal your pain, you don't know if anything is gonna be able to do that right now
Its such a wonderful sound I don't know why but it makes me relaxed and I think about nothing as an overthinker it makes me feel so comfortable thank you
Edit: deleted this comment bc people were being toxic for little to no reason. Am I allowed to do anything without being pushed around? nope. be careful with what you comment bc u don't know what someones going through. I got broken up with yesterday for zero reason so i got kinda hurt by some of the replies :(
That's*-*
Cringe fake appreciation

@@idktbh1777 how
I dont know if you had the same experience but for many as a kid undertale felt like a home eating pie with toriel,joking with sans,gardening with asgore it felt safe.
This give me a feel of loneliness, alone in the dark with only campfire beside me, and anxiety of not knowing what lurkin in the dark, regret and dissapoint of what have happened, sadness, and at some point i feel comfortable and safe like im in home
I used to play Undertale with my big brother. He was a half brother but he means almost everything to me, he's a super good guy who's extremely zen. When I went to his house for the first time for a small visit, he introduced me to Undertale. in 2016, I wanted to do the all good ending and I tried my best, At that time he lived in an apartment with his friend sam, he moved out later on. We ordered food and I couldn't have had a better time ever, I miss him.
Come back please Isaac.
