I wondered if this song was about obsessive fangirl culture and the dehumanization of famous people, or just Niel admitting to stalking Bill Watterson. Glad he gave me a clear answer.
@@tacocat6509 yeah about the youmacon thing at least the front row seemed to be feeling themselves,,,, is a thing in concerts that the audience isnt picked up by the microphones
i wonder who else would be, some other nerdy, awkward, pale, introverted, frail, Tumblr, Reddit and/or neckbeard artists? Myself included No offense to the man himself (Neil)
I love that you can tell in the last verse that Neil was so focused on bringing the punchline in the verse that he forgot the regular words. The way he just smiled and continued on is amazing, it almost seemed intentional. As a performer/musician myself, that's talent.
i think it might be the mic. even when he pulled away from the mic a tiny bit it got so much quieter. i think it just wasn't picking up the audience at all, except for the very quiet clapping at the end (meaning it was loud enough to be picked up on)
i'll be completely honest i get why this doesn't get much applause.. it sounds a lot creepier with just the piano and not the other instruments from the view-monster version. still an awesome song though :D
This version definitely sounds much more unhinged, and more like a serious song written by an actual stalker. On the other hand, the version in the full view monster album sounds much less genuine. Anyways, both are amazing, this is one of my favourite songs
I don't think this song is weird, Lemon Demon just has creative ideas, a song about stalking someone and making it sound amazing just proves how awesome he is.
my dad and my aunt are both calvin and hobbes superfans. my dad has a complete collection of every comic ever. like im not even joking, my cousin is NAMED CALVIN AFTER THE COMIC. my dad really like lemon demon. you’ll never guess his favourite song
@@CasperSpencer He said it wrong, he was supposed to say "Don't you know I think that you're the cat's meow" but he accidently started to say "Where's the tiger now" lol but he corrected himself
He sounds exactly like the song oh my god this man is too good. His voice is so perfectly controlled but also sounds so cartoony which fits all of his silly satire songs perfectly. I am actually so obsessed with Lemon Demon and Neil. Bill Watterson being one of my favorite songs, this video is too good🩷
I’m from the town Neil is from, been to his house, he used to have cd’s hanging from the tree in his back yard it was pretty cool. My brother and I have always looked up to Neil, Kevin and Ryan for inspiration in short movies and random film stuff, so we have always kept contact with them. So it’s pretty cool that you live by Bill Waterson. Calvin and Hobbes is one of my favorites
That moment where he messed up a part of the lyrics towards the end 💔 Must've been awkward. Even so, he still nailed it! Shame that so little people clapped. I love this song, I've been playing it 24/7 for a week straight and was blessed to find this video. It's so fun, creepy and the rythm is so addictive! Never change, Neil 💙💜🧡❤️💛
Its just hilarious to me that he's singing about stalking a artist while people are just casually listening to him, why is that so funny to, I honestly have no idea
WOW he's great. look at him go!! his singing is GREAT here, one of his best live performances! this song gives off a different vibe on piano, yet it still retains the batshit insane stalker energy. so good
I remember listening to this song a few years ago when I didn't really understand some of the lyrics so I thought it was a really cute love song until I listened to it again recently
Where'd you go when you were done?

Criminal how little applause this gets from the audience

They took "Not clapping between the movements" too far!! Not good.
It’s possible the mic just doesn’t pick it up since it seems there’s only the one.
It should be a felony

He seems much more confident here compared to Youmacon,.
i hope he tries doing one more concert in the future.

bc of the smaller crowd?

He didn't forget the line he just accidentally skipped a line
He liked the last verse so much he forgot what he was supposed to say.
I DO THAT TOO lmao
OMG WHY IS THAT SO CUTE!
that part was just a big fat mood
losing my mind at the awkward little thumbs up and polite applause from the crowd like hes a little kid at his first piano recital
the lack of expression from the crowd is SO UNCOMFORTABLE
I know right, I think if there would be some people that really wanted to be there the crowd would be loud
while that sucks i'm glad because i really like his singing here

Really digging this camera/editing style that looks like jt was taken from an early morning just-after PBSkids pbs show from the 90s!
This was made in 2008. I'm not sure if it's editing.
I don't think this song is weird, Lemon Demon just has creative ideas, a song about stalking someone and making it sound amazing just proves how awesome he is.

This is so much better than the live concerts for early spirit phone songs.
I think he does better with a smaller audience.
he has been known to do do better preforming with smaller audiences
Because he was forced to perform them, so he was very clearly pissed off. He was also recorded without his consent I believe.
