The Oh Hellos - Passerine (Lyrics)

- Lyrics:
like carillon bells, the house of Augustus rings
with the echoing hymn of my fellow passerine, they took to it
like a fox to a burrow, like an eagle to an aerie
and my god, it's getting hard to even hum a single thing
you were the song that I'd always sing
you were the light that the fire would bring
but I can't shake this feeling that I was only
pushing the spear into your side again
see, my birds of a kind, they more and more are looking like
centurions than any little messiah
and as I prune my feathers like leaves from a vine
I find that we have fewer and fewer in kind, but
my palms and fingers still reek of gasoline
from throwing fuel to the fire of that Greco-Roman dream
purifying the holy rock to melt the gilded seams
it don't bring me relief, no it don't bring me nothing that
when he comes a knocking at my door
what am I to do, oh lord
when the cold wind rolls in from the north
what am I to do, oh lord
ok but can we actually talk about the song itself and not the fic /srs
because this song is amazing! we get it, passerine (the fic) was amazing, but this song doesn’t exist just to be the base of a fanfiction :) the oh hellos did a splendid job with the lyrics and music!!
I agree! I was a little bit exasperated when I saw all of the comments just referencing fan fictions.
@@rainywainy8 yeah! like i love passerine too but like... you are promoting a work on someone else's hard work :/ it's like if you went up to rebecca sugar and started talking about how she-ra was the world's greatest example of lgbtq rep without a single compliment on steven universe's writing
@@Cawdaver Yeah, It's frustrating when things become popular not because their actually really good but because it reminds people of other things that are popular
no fr i love this song and soldier poet king sm
the fic comments are definitely overwhelming, but i think its nice to see a whole new wave of people enjoying the oh hellos music, as its much deserved! wherever the attention comes from (especially if its from another creative work) i think its good that more people are flocking to oh hellos songs
POV: you're confused on what people are talking about, but happy because they're happy and you like the song
Edit: are y'all okay, should I call the therapists??
oh no we are not happy, we are heart broken as hell
Thank for being happy for other people’s happiness! All too often people complain when a fandom “ruins” a song so it’s really refreshing to see someone so kind about it!
we are not happy.
im sobbing my fucking ass off im so fucking sad for the same reason everyone else is but i appreciate this comment thank you
I thought i was the only one, thank god
Thank you so much for these lyric videos! There aren’t many lyric videos for the oh hellos so I really appreciate it! I can tell a lot of effort went into making these videos. Keep up the great work :)
Thank you!

May I join you
I too am experienced feelings of very strong negative elements due to an unhealthy affection for fictional characters that are real because they live in like a million people’s heads

**softly** stop.
cries. stop it
Meme-y passerine references aside,
This song is absolutely gorgeous. You can’t not tell me that you wish you were in a fantasy world after listening to the Oh Hellos songs. Whether it be riding a dragon into the sunset with your friends, or guiding two young boys to the path of diligence for the sake of their kingdom, or even sitting in a cottage in the middle of a tundra, this is absolutely beautiful.
I see what you did there-
literally. the own vibe of the song has me sitting writing a story about fantasy. fantasy writing is my favorite
I wouldn't want to be in a fantasy setting. After all, the most popular type, medieval settings, won't let me hear this song on demand

@@sadlittlesnail6424 passerine deserves it baby, passerine deserves it all
As someone who isn't apart of the dream smp fandom (longtime follower of the oh hellos tho), I did not expect y'all to claim a folk band out of everything
what can I say, on behalf of most of the community (cough, m o s t) we do have good taste in music, alternative i hope the oh hellos don't get treated like glass animals did, although I don't think thats happening :]
I’m in both boats, and from what I’ve seen of the dream smp community (particularly the part that loves the fanfic everyone’s talking about), I’m actually not too surprised about the music taste. It makes me really happy to see two of my favorite things collide like this, especially because so far everyone seems to be fairly polite/welcoming!
@@PS-vr1uv what happened with glass animals?
Same here, kinda surprised

You didn't have to call me out like this :
*PLEASE*

_“I’m not done yet!”_ Tommy said, and produced one more flower-a single yellow rose. _“This one’s my favorite,”_ he added as he gently tucked the flower behind Technoblade’s ear, the one that had the emerald earring that Wilbur had found so familiar, _“because it means friendship.”_
Technoblade stiffened. His mouth opened and closed, like he was trying to breathe but forgot how, before he finally said, _"Are we friends, then?"_
Tommy stood and brushed grass from his pants. _“Well, obviously.”_

Half-sobbing, half-laughing, he fell against his chair and closed his eyes against the sudden sting of tears. He could see, in his mind, a field of flowers under an open sky-a place made for waiting, where all the finished stories went, where he would go someday, too.

The Oh Hellos are finally gaining the respect they deserve because of the DSMP fandom yielding great animatics and great fanfics based on their music.
Edit: To people discovering this song through the fanfiction, please check out the Oh Hellos' other music!! It's very good and I guarantee if you like this song regardless of the fanfiction, you'll like their other music.
I'm a huge fan of the fanfiction, don't get me wrong, and I am not without fault when it comes to discovering a song or band/group via a media source and wanting to comment about it, but I now know how people feel when they have been fans of the song and suddenly people from a popular source (be it a movie, fanfic, whatever) flood the comments. Please respect the original artist. The fanfic author should get respect for writing a beautiful piece, but express your love for it elsewhere. You don't need to flood the comments of a song that, in it's original right, has nothing to do with the fanfiction. Just like the pinned comment says: the Oh Hellos did not write Passerine for a fanfiction.
@tai the tea guy Yeah same. Like the thing I enjoy from their songs was the open interpretation of it and how you can make your own stories from these songs. I enjoyed reading everyone’s story/opinion of what songs meant, but it’s kinda hard to do that now since it’s mainly about the SMP. No hate to the SMP, I like the writing and characters a lot, but reading the comments of some songs are kinda sad since they are filled with DSMP
like heatwaves lmao. I finally heard it on the radio and was thrilled
@tai the tea guy agreed. Idk DSMP, I just like this band
Bullshit, The Oh Hello's were already Well known well before the DSMP fandies came.
@@miwiarts are you seriously offended? Lol
Here are the biblical references the song makes makes.
"like a fox to a burrow, like an eagle to an aerie" Matthew 8:20
"pushing the spear into your side again" John 19:34
"and as I prune my feathers like leaves from a vine" John 15
"when he comes a knocking at my door" Revelation 3:20
I’m glad your fandom likes the song. And I don’t want to be a gate keeping tool, but it really feels like some of you aren’t listening to the song. This narrative of recognizing religious violence and your part in it than ultimately losing that faith while fearing what a faithless world means is something that deeply speaks to me and many people. Than to see it only talked about in the context of “ooh fantasy vibes” or fan fiction just feels icky
I agree completely
i understand why that would upset you, and that's completely valid
but, music is something that means a lot of different things to different people
i'm not denying the original purpose of the song, because i can tell that means a lot to you and i'm guessing it meant a lot to the band themselves considering their origins and what a lot of their songs tend to be about, but two things
1. you have to understand that not everyone's gonna, y'know, understand that from listening to the song, i didn't even get that message until you pointed it out
2. just because they think this and that about the song while you think about it in a very personal light doesn't *invalidate* the original intent of the song and the way you feel about it
music means different things to different people, and that's valid
As someone who did find this song a bit before the fix got popular, I understand how you feel. I do wish people would pay more respect to the original intention behind the song’s meaning. But as the person above me mentioned, art is inherently subjective, and can be consumed and interpreted in any and all ways.
I would also like to give an opinion about this. I agree with y'all, and to enhance @fours1524 comment above,
people with different mental states and outlook often pay more attention to a song's aspect that they resonate most with. The fandom came through the fan fiction and discovered the song through it, meaning they already have a base idea of what this song means to them.
And for those that didn't, they listen more closely to their feelings and mentality that resonates weirdly with the song. Through that, they get different opinions and views that may or may not be contrary to the song. Not to be shallow but the song does have that upbeat that's Decievingly a feel-good.
And to you who experienced events that left a deep imprint, you can read the hidden message of the song meant for you and those like you, because you understand more deeply and resonate with it more than most people. But for those who found this song while completely ignorant of their meaning may feel shallow, but the fact that they enjoy the song itself and support it is still valid.
Some songs didn't even come as religious to me until the lyrics explicitly mentioned key words. Like the song Creature (it's been a while so I forgot who made the song and I also found it through the Philza Minecraft fandom) , which was also a sort of religious song that I never expected to be religious until I heard keywords from the lyrics. It was an unexpected happiness to because I loved that song and can still share it with my family without being nitpicked for listening to songs with bad influence. (Which, for them, is basically just any song that is not religious or local)
For me, Passerine came as a happy reminder that despite people's differences and outlook in life, we can still share happy things and become United for simply having a common liking of one thing. And while we may have different opinions, we can still act cohesively for one goal without invalidating each other's opinions. It was through passerine that I saw all sorts of people that I feel I can relate with. And while it somewhat hit a little close to home when you said that, I can't find it in myself to resonate with you as deeply as I would have a decade ago.
(So despite how religious my family is, they can be chill and understanding due to multiple religions and cultures compressed in our community. Right now, no one can force others to change religions there, and converting is completely one's choice. But that's without the factor of parents in play. Then again, they can't be blamed. However, some senior citizens who are widely respected in our country may have traditional thinking due to our history of clashing religions and cultures, so some families who blindly respect our elderly may come across to harsh on children especially when they won't adapt to the times (I felt this on childhood back when most people weren't so inclusive of other c communities.) It just makes me glad and grateful that my family can be understanding and is willing to open themselves to the opinions of others as time goes by.)
It's 4 am and I started typing this rant at 3 am something. I might forget this later but if you feel offended, just take it as some one's half asleep and don't know what to do with their life.
I don't like going through the trouble of offending and fighting people cuz of opinions but hey, that's exactly why I'd rather go to the internet.
This comment is old but I just wanna say thank you for being kinda the only comment ( towards the top for me at least) to go into the actual meaning of the song. I'm kinda dense when it comes to lyric deciphering so I often look to the comments but they're not very useful here.
Also, I agree with you completely. I understand that lots of people find lots of media "second hand", that is, they don't find it from the people who made it, but that fanfic, or song cover, or remix, etc wouldn't even EXIST if the original didn't inspire it, and I feel like people don't recognize and respect that enough. Its very disheartening to see fans be so completely blinded by their love for one thing that they are unable to open themselves up to both loving their fandom, AND discovering the meaning, depth, and care put into the original work. Or at the very least not flood the comment sections entirely only about "their thing".
I didn't even read passerine, yet here i am ugly crying.
Please do, it will be worth it
read it so we can cry together
mate, suffer with us, have your heart broken with us
Read it NOW
You won't regret it but you'll cry
Suffer with us
Here it was, at last. Catharsis, or something close to it. “I would have hunted them down with you, Philza, the people who did that to your town, I would have given you your vengeance on a silver platter. I would have given you the world!”
great as usual :) . i found your music just maybe a year ago as it came up on pandora randomly from other music , so so happy to have it , then on youtube , i`m not your average 67 yr. old but i know music is so important and universal , may yours last forever . and toasty thank you for putting them on :)
“Tommy?” Tommy had no idea who had said his name. It all sounded so very far away.
“Don’t leave me,” Tommy begged. “Please. I’m so scared.”
“We’re here, Tommy.” A kiss on his forehead. Someone holding his hand. Strong arms around him. Wilbur, humming his old lullaby. Warmth, even in the dark. “We’ll always be here.”
-too late.
“Thank you,” Tommy breathed. “Thank you. I…” He had so much left to say, so much left to offer. Love. Forgiveness. Cheer. But he would leave it there, until he woke up again.
Tommy’s eyes drifted shut.
His mother’s laughter had never sounded clearer.
IT SERIOUSLY BROKE ME WHEN TOMMY SAID HE WAS SCARED IT REMINDS THAT TOMMY WAS IN FACT JUST A KID WHO HAD NO BUISNESS BEING IN WAR. HE WAS SCARED AND DYING BECAUSE OF SOMETHING OUT OF HIS CONTROL AHHHHHHH

Pov: you're a fan of both fhe oh hellos and dsmp and you're having fun reading the comments
Edit: i read the fic at last and wow, that was painful
Also, the vibes of the song are the complete opposite of the fic, medievalish theme but more like happy adventure, while the fic is a journey of death and depression haha
“I don’t play the violin.”
“No, you don’t.”
Wilbur glanced at his mother’s painting, the one with soft colors and old lines. “And Tommy will never live past fifteen.”
“No,” Mother replied, regret and sorrow-two of Wilbur’s own restless shadows-gleaming in her eyes, “he won’t.”
ahahaha sobs
i just finished reading the fic like five minutes ago and i came to listen to this to sob my eyes out, and this comment just made me sob more

“For my kingdom,” she whispered to the empty cave, and let the fire fall.

I just wanted to listen to Passerine so I clicked this and I found all the dsmp comments (hello fellow people :) and I think this'll be the next heatwaves-

Someone sent me this on Tumblr this morning because I'm writing a work in progress about the CIA's Project BLUEBIRD called Passerine. I only know a couple songs by these folx, mostly the ones everyone knows, thanks to Spotify, so I immediately interested. It much better fits something else I'm working on (#toomanyWIPs club?) but I'm so happy to have found it. ♡ Thanks for this!
I stopped caring at tumblr
that's an interesting way to get here, but I'm glad you like the video! you should listen to the rest of their songs, they're all amazing

dsmp fic (?) aside, it's very funny seeing everyone in the comments talking about this song giving off happy medieval vibes when it's about coming to terms with the utterly terrifying realization that for years you've been perpetuating a corrupt system and hurting others in the name of faith
yeah the oh hellos tend to do that lmao
dear wormwood (the album) is about an abusive relationship and yet bitter water makes me feel so happy and warm
"I love you, forever. I love you, forever. I love you, forever. I love you, forever. I love you, forever."
"Tommy’s eyes drifted shut.
His mother’s laughter had never sounded clearer."
Damn...... I wish my parents would have played THESE kinds of songs instead of the overtly worship song ones (because those make me feel like I’m being forcefully indoctrinated rather than being inspired or find peace in religion)
Never knew they were a Christian Folk band but, damn if I heard half alive and the Oh Hellos instead maybe I’d be in church events more often
Also:
Thank you for the lyric vid (I always have difficulty understanding song lyrics so this is almost a god send) and
Please stop spamming fanfic paragraphs here, not gatekeeping or anything but its just too much
Find time to appreciate both the song(and band), and the fic if you want, but not like this. Edit: I ain’t part of any fandom and don’t know what the fic is besides from reading a lot of comments I thought were poetic interpretations of the song

My greatest accomplishment was knowing this song before the smp.
Same
In all seriousness, Passerine is a beautiful song about coming to terms with the fact that your kinfolk are flawed, sometimes deeply, and the decision to make yourself a better person despite it, through practice and introspection.
It's a song about coming to terms with religious violence and how you find a way to seperate yourself from those committing it to maintain your faith in its truest form
Hence "my birds of a kind are starting to look more like centurions than any little messiah"

and yet, by mentioning the block people, you have become the very thing you swore to destroy
@@cadenceolivia6304 I'm playing the best of both worlds! I acknowledge both sides to *come out on top*
“They call you the Angel of Death.” Techno dug his heels in as Philza resumed an onslaught of blows with his dulled sword. “They said you leave a path of destruction in your wake that nothing-ha!” Techno parried and went on the offensive. “-that nothing is sacred to you.”
Their blades met. They pushed against each other, trying to gain an upper hand, and it was only because they were standing so close that Techno noticed the shift in Philza’s eyes: a momentary coldness that was as brutal as the blizzard raging outside. It was there and gone in an instant. Light returned, and Philza laughed as he pushed back against Techno’s sword.
“Stories are curious things,” Philza said as he swung again, barely giving Techno time to dodge. “Some of them are true…”
A man who has lived through it all, a king brought into reign too young, two boys destined to be best friends but will never meet, a boy who will never live past the age of 15.
the things I'd do for the top comments to be again for theories about the song and "oh wow this is sooo cottagecore omg" or the "this gives me dnd vibes" comments and not about a fucking fic about the dreamsmp. you never know how much you miss something until it's gone. I guess :(
maybe youtube taking away the comments in the topic versions of music was better anyway
I've never read the fic, but can we please talk about the song? Genuinely, it's really pretty and although it shares the name of a Dream SMP AU, it's its own thing! :D
edit: Currently reading the fic; on chapter three! It's good so far and I'm already starting to see why everyone loves this story so much. It's really unique! But again, what I said in my original comment still stands! :D
yes! the oh hellos really need some recognition for their work cause even tho some of their songs get much recognition half of the time its not for their work
Oh God, the dangerous chapters..
@@Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal Yeah, hearing "That's a dream smp song right?" Is a little dissapointing as far as publicity goes
So let's talk about the song. What do you like about it? What do you think it means?
Look, I don't know much about the DreamSMP or what people are quoting but this is coming from an outsider and I just wanna say this song SLAPS. This song makes me so happy and the instruments sounds sooooo good! Fantastic work and I am gonna be looking forward to more songs you make!
The Oh Hellos is truly fucking amazing! I've heard from them even before I've read what they were quoting (a fanfiction that goes by the same name and has the lyrics from this song as its chapter titles). Theseus is also really good and so is, Bitter Water. I love The Oh Hellos so much oh my.
@sachsoup this song isn't written based on a fanfic, the band has made a million references to the Bible and Faith and struggles with religion in their music up to this point. The Fanfic you're referring to was written based on this song it seems like, but saying that this song is based on a fanfiction is SERIOUSLY undervaluing the message.
The song is about someone's struggles with faith after discovering those that use faith for their own gain, trying to overcome their shock and anger at the other members of the church because they believe they are truly good despite witnessing horrific acts and inherently evil deeds being carried out by them. "My birds of a kind more and more are looking like, centurions than any little messiah" is a perfect line to illustrate that. It's actually kind of fucked up to reduce it to "OmG FaNfIcTiOn ReAdErs mAdE a SoNg AbOuT iT!!!!1!1" because it really isn't about that at all.
I can't express the amount of joy the oh hellos has brought me since I discovered their music a few years ago. I'm so happy that other people are now discovering it if they hadn't before.
same! their music is just so good
I dunno what Dream smp is, but i just like how the don't mentions the blowing winds of the north while the album you're supposed to listen to next is Boreas, which is the name of the god of the north winds
hey fan of the oh hellos since 2015 here !! while i do wish there were more comments solely about the meaning and beauty of this song, it’s truly incredible that the minecraft fandom has given the oh hellos such a strong platform ! so yes, please refrain from making this song only about the book but my god i’m forever thankful for everyone who has come here for really appreciating our beloved artists :)
This song is honestly so pretty and it is just very enjoyable overall. This is in my destress playlist and I can't be happier to hear it. Really sounds like a fun adventure song, maybe a little emotional one too, but an overall amazing journey.
I can't even begin to say the amount of times I have listened to this song. Oh Hellos music just hits different.
A god with yellow flowers entwined into his pink braid, A king forced to grow up too young, A boy who will never live past the age of 15..
STOP PLS I CANT KEEP CRYING
"God. What a big word for such a small thing."
Not small thing >:0

@@اكتشفمعشوشو it’s from a fanfic
Im not I to Dream SMP so I’m confused abt the whole passerine thing that’s related to it. I just really like The Oh Hellos and this song. Can someone explain how this song got into this fandom though?
yeah someone wrote a fanfiction titled "Passerine" and it was about the SBI (sleepy bois inc., which is Ph1LzA, Wilbur Soot, Technoblade and Tommyinnit) and it was really sad and since the fic and this song share a name everyone's here lol
_"I want to stay"_
Tommy blinked, his expression crumbling with anger and disappointment. And then, clarity, as the first of Philza’s tears began to drop,
_"But you won't"_
_“But I won’t,”_ Philza confirmed.
Tommy grinned, triumphant. *"That's my Dad"*
----------------
“Come with me?” he asked, “You can lie. Lie and say you’ll be coming with me.”
“I’m always with you, Wil,” she said, smiling a wavering smile.
_“I am in every note you play and every song you sing. I fight your every battle and feel your every pain. And I feel your joy, and your compassion, and your regret, and your bravery. Whatever you do, Wil, I am with you.”_
---------------
_“I want to be more than someone else’s backstory. I want to be the hero. I’m going to be the hero next time, just you watch.”_
*“I already am,”* Techno said softly.
---------------
_“Will you forgive me,” Wilbur asked, his voice rough and small, “if I still want to live without you?”_
---------------
_“Do you trust me, Wil?”_
_“I just jumped out a tower for you.”_
Father’s laughter was a strained sound, but it was almost like music. _“What if I asked you to let go of my hand?”_
*Wilbur didn’t think. He just let go.*
---------------
_“I wish we could have had more time,”_ Philza whispered, his tears coming on more quickly, so warm they might burn right to the bone. _“I wish I could have watched you grow up. I wish I had loved you like you deserved. I wish I could have made it all up to you. I wish a universe’s worth of wishes for you, my boy.”_
*"I know"*
When Philza let go, Tommy was gone. He was alone.
And the sky was awaiting far above him.
honestly this chapter broke me more than anything in the fix, especially techno’s little sister. she was definitely the main character of her own story in some other timeline and I hope she knew that
@@rivolai6271 YES THAT WAS THE SADDEST CHAPTER
@@cadenceolivia6304 I LITERALLY HAD TO STOP READING TO CRY FOR LIKE 15 MINS BEFORE COMING BACK TO IT ONLY TO CRY HARDER
@@rivolai6271 I couldn't even see at times I felt so pathetic
Can someone explain why everyone is talking about yellow roses? Something about dream smp?
There's a fanfic on ao3 called Passerine that blew up recently
It's an sbi royalty au with lots of angst and I would definitely recommend it
@@Andromeda_at_Sea oh thank you I may read it 😊
Yay! Just...read the tags ya hear
They are not to be taken lightly
@@Andromeda_at_Sea lmao k
Yes it is an amazing fanfic and you will then understand everything ;)
"Philza turned to look at Tommy, but he was not looking at Tommy-or, more accurately, he was looking at all of Tommy, brief images of all the Tommys that had come before. Here, a tall man with a golden crown of laurels. Here, a young boy with a broken compass strung around his neck. Here, a feathered creature with wide blue eyes. Here, a weathered warrior with alliums tucked into the pockets of his ruin."
that paragraph is so beautiful
This song means a lot to me. I was raised as a JW and it is very evangelical in that group, a literal cult. It ruined my metal health as a child because of how much death was glorified. I am older and much better now. It's great to see that there are actually songs about leaving toxic religious communities
fr me too. they are all old too and try bonding with you only to pass away again and again. i really didnt like them. i was genuinely scared of dying because i didnt really understand why i could go but all my friends had to stay behind.
screw 'em. they shouldn't have forced that onto you so young. wait til people are older and can make decisions and not as prone to religious traumas.
all the oh hellos songs are bangers
i want to talk more about this song, because it brought me such chills, "again and again and again" omg loved that line for some reason, their songs are always so good
This song means so much to me as an LGBTQIA+ person who is Christian and came from a traumatic past. Finding out that I was wrong about so many things and that I had hurt so many people broke me, and even to this day, I struggle to fix and heal both the damage I caused to myself and others. I really don't know what will happen when the end comes, and this song strikes a chord deep within me about those fears and worries.
pov: you have no idea who "tommy" is or any other references people are making
this is kind of late but there is a fanfiction on ao3 called passerine (im pretty sure it was inspired by this song) and its about the dream smp fandom (minecraft youtube) but it was really good and would definitely recommend it
Had this in my "Listen Later" playlist, it's so pretty, I'm glad I'm listening now
All the quotes in the comments be making me cry-
Me, being a fan of The Oh Hellos for a while and coming back to the vids to see lesbian cottage core comments only to see they've been overtaken by a fandom: 👁👄👁
I find it funny that I'm in the dsmp fandom but I didn't come here from,, yellow roses?, I just found the song
"I'm done begging the stars for answers. I've brought the stars down low, and they will do my bidding for me."
“Wilby, please, don’t hurt me.”
-
“I’ll see you all in hell,” she said bitterly, and struck the flint into flame.
-
“For my kingdom,” she whispered to the empty cave, and let the fire fall.
-
Niki hoped, at the very least, that they would plant the prettiest flowers over her grave.
-
“My baby,” she’d cried, “my little fighter. Be brave, Tommy, be strong.”
Wilbur’s earth-brown curls hid his expression as he bent over the baby, murmuring something Phil almost didn’t catch.
And the baby began to cry.
-
“I will love you forever, I will love you forever, I will love you forever.”
But this time, Tommy did not wake up.
And Philza was still made of stone.
-
And through a blur of tears, Tubbo saw what the general had left behind, tucked gently behind the prince’s ear, like a final offering: a single yellow rose.
okay but writing high fantasy with this in the background really hits different ngl
Not a clue what Passerine Fanfic is but hey Happy that all of these people start enjoying the Oh Hellos!
YOU should start streaming them everywhere cs they're magic :D
(I do know what the SMP is, just not the fanfic)
Passerine was a good fanfic, (I would recommend reading) but the song is AMAZING. Honestly I am glad I read Passerine because I found The Oh Hellos. But the fanfic is about Tommy, Wilbur, Techno, Philza, and a couple other side characters that are people on the smp. Basically the Dreamsmp main plot but in a different universe :)
Y’all as a oh hellos fan, can we stop talking about the fic and talk about how amazing the band and the song is
Yeah this song has such great symbolism and is just a great song overall but it gets overshadowed by all the dsmp fanfic refrences
@@Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal for real! Though I don't blame them really, seeing as they're from the DSMP they've probably only ever really read that fanfic and so have no clue what good writing is
as someone who has not read the fanfic i am very confused about these comments
READ IT (do read the tags before tho)
if you care at all about dsmp then you should totally read it
_read it_ (its extremely heartbreaking but a good experience. you wont regret it lol)
Glad we’re all here for the same reason
*cough* sooooooo… how y’all tommy stans doing?
Fffff i love how we all showed up here, rip people here just for the music
I knew the dsmp fandom was gonna be here (mostly bc I'm a dsmp fan), guys please be respectful and just remember that this is it's own song. No this doesn't mean it's not okay to talk about the fic but still remain respectful and just keep it in mind this is it's own song.
pov: you're here because you genuinely enjoy the song and you're not going to let this song become a repeat of heat waves
What happened with Heat Waves, what is heatwaves. I live under a rock
@@birbl8156 Heatwaves is a song by Glass animals, it's a awesome song but the mcyt fandom 'adopted' it because it has the same name as a popular dreamXGeorge fan fic
This makes me miss someone I've never met. Or haven't yet. Who that is, I'm not sure, but I think it's my soul mate
Ah yes, the theme of the only fanfic to ever make me openly sob in my bed at 4 in the am.
POV: I’ve known abt the oh hellos for like forever and I don’t know how to feel abt the passerine fanfic stuff
All I feel is pain rn and peoPLE IN THE COMMENTS QUOTING THE STORY ARE NOT HELPING
I actually came here from soldier poet king and omg I love their music! Honestly I could listen for hours, you could close your eyes and see nothing but green and open space and fantastic dreams
