I just discovered Opal. What a devastating beautiful short to experience. I wish that I could delete it from my mind, so I can watch it again the first time. It breaks my heart to hear the end, knowing that it's someone's real nightmare.
Ok but something I thought of when the fake family said "And in our eyes you'll stay." Is that while they are saying they will be giving her the attention she hopelessly desires, it could also be hinting towards how she'll never leave her true home. The billboard is pointed directly at her window, and the people on it are "keeping her in their eyes". The only way for her to no longer be in their eyes is if she left the home. This could mean literally, as in she will simply forever live in the house, or figuratively, as in she will one day leave but will hold on to the memories she has in the house and forever long for a normal childhood she never got.
My gf at the time says Opal (Claire) looks demonic. I think she's beautiful. She has gone through some shit and I don't blame her for creating an imaginary world where everything and everyone is perfect.
Tbh really sad The house opal is told to not worry about is her real house but she just made up her perfect family and poor opal just wants to be seen as a person.
sometimes i like to imagine my grandparents singing this to me, its very weirdly comforting. my nana passed away from her alcohol addiction, and my grandad is on his way out, both very absent in my life, and i get so jealous of other people’s grandparents because they have the most beautiful relationships and i didnt get that.
He's blind, so he can hear her and know that she's in the room, and getting his cigarettes. His song is about how much he loves t.v for the distraction,that all the people want him, but can't understand why people on the t.v breathe easier than he does because he can't see the effects of sitting on the couch smoking is doing to him. Opal smells different because she isn't around her mother with alcohol, or in her fantasy. He knows something with Opal is different this time around.

no her mom drinks her dad only cares about himself and his looks and never cares about opal and her grandpa smokes i would say if your not to scared to go and watch the film :)
I have never seen my parents. To my eyes, i dont have parents. I live with my grandma, and the condition she is in right now.. she will pass away soon. After that im gonna have to go to my parents i have never meet before.
wait I don’t understand Opal (Claire) name thingy I mean I know they are the same person but Claire is opal but opal isn’t Claire or is it Opal is Claire but Claire isn’t Opal??
If I gave birth to a daughter, I'd name her Opal to have this as her lullaby. This adult swim short has taken my whole life and I showed it to my mom and I first watched six days ago. I haven't been this obsessed since discovering IT back in 2017. Why didn't we discover Opal at the same time?
Would you guys prefer if this was a bit higher in pitch? 🤔
Yeah
its perfect :]
ye
It’s perfect
Nah. I like it how it is
opal (claire) is so cute, and this song is so comfort.
IKR!!
Ikr
Its sad that opal/claire has a terrible family
I rlly feel bad for claire even tho shes just a fictional character, ngl
This song makes me tear up :(
CLAIRE IS HER ACTUAL NAME??
I just discovered Opal. What a devastating beautiful short to experience. I wish that I could delete it from my mind, so I can watch it again the first time. It breaks my heart to hear the end, knowing that it's someone's real nightmare.
Me too
is it bad that this is my comfort song?
It supposed to be. For Claire its all she has.
It's her comfort song too 💖
No, not a bit!
Edit: this is my comfort song too :)
No i can understand that Peopel relat to it
I think that as well
I love how anything Can be made into a slowed reverb and it’s always good

Well, they say “and in our arms you stay” but good theory
@@pendadenda1331 they say “eyes”
0:28 after this it sounds like movie material
Honestly would watch a movie about claire
A full length version would be so amazing but I also think the short film is absolutely perfect the way it is!
It sounds almost like a series of unfortunate events
the zoomout shot combined with that piano bit hit so fucking hard
@@commodore7331 FRR
Can we talk about that Opal looking cross eyed at her tum-tum looks adorable? She looks like an animal that just sneezed and is now confused-
This is both comforting and scary for me since I have a fear of strangers or people in general, watching me when I don’t know it
me too -
Things that i wanted my father to tell me
1.I love you
2.I care about you
3.I will stop making stupid jokes about everything
4.I see you

Her real name is Claire :]
Yep, Claire Opal
This hits even harder for me because my deadname is Opal
Wtf is a "deadname"
@@bigswanko It was my name before i changed it because i'm Non-Binary
@@jupiter8114 OHHHHH, understandable have a nice day
@@jupiter8114;-; deadass.
whats your corrected name now? no opal for you🙌
I never realized how good the piano was
i adore the piano at the end
You can hear the shift from “oh yey it’s family time” to the depression and anxiety from Claire’s real life (it’s around 0:27)
this sounds like someone is venting out their feelings..
I can imagine it
Ok I’ve seen a lot of people saying oh this song is scary and creepy but it’s really not it’s actually really comforting
this song is so beautiful
Yknow you have friend issues when you don’t cry a lot but this is the only song that makes you cry
now looking at her, opal/Claire is adorable.
Please I'm sobbing now, this is amazing
Gives off joker dancing in the bathroom vibes.
Thanks for all the songs slowed songs 😍😍😍
🤎
It hurts when you spent all your life trying to be really I guess emotionally seen by your parents
It's like I'm at a church right now.
Yeah
@@ilovemenwithlonghair Yeah
The songs at Church make me emotional for some reason
@@THETINIESTCONDUCTOR it's Jesus
we see you, 𝗼 𝗽 𝗮 𝗹...
This makes me want to hug someone.
Haven't had that in a while.
Hug me!! :3
When I first heard it, I thought I was in church
i get chills listening to this song in airpods especially at 0:28
Fun fact! When I came out as non-binary, I changed my name too Opal after the short film!
sometimes i like to imagine my grandparents singing this to me, its very weirdly comforting.
my nana passed away from her alcohol addiction, and my grandad is on his way out, both very absent in my life, and i get so jealous of other people’s grandparents because they have the most beautiful relationships and i didnt get that.
man if you see this rn this is good absolute master piece
*sobbing*
Idk why but I find it so comforting. Maybe bc I’m in a not so healthy household
Opal in the future..... This is gonna be what it looks like
it makes me cry or feel sad because i remember her crying...
i had a nightmare about this song and i woke up crying :D
Whoa.... deep. I'll just write my one-shot to this.
I wish they made a longer version of this, this songs sounds like angels singing this to you…
Put it on 1.25 speed to get just a reverb version
If you turn the video to 1.5x speed it's the normal speed of the original but still low pitch so its awesome
I LOVE THISSSS PLS MAKE AN HOUR LONG VERSION OMGG I LOVEEE
This is oddly calming
This makes me cry for some reason
me to
" H I O P A L "
This hurts even more slower 😢💔
I was the 200th subscriber
its no longer my happy song and now its spoopy ;-;
I never understood why the uncle or whatever says wait your not Claire. When she actually is Claire. Right?
He's blind, so he can hear her and know that she's in the room, and getting his cigarettes. His song is about how much he loves t.v for the distraction,that all the people want him, but can't understand why people on the t.v breathe easier than he does because he can't see the effects of sitting on the couch smoking is doing to him.

We see you, Juliet,
Your troubles are miles away.
We see you, Juliet,
And in our eyes you'll stay!
Damn why am i only coming across this now 😔
Amazing work
put it on 1.5x speed it sounds normal
Are Opal’s parents on weed?
Edit: this was a joke..
the mom is
Techinically, the mother is an alchoholic. The grandfather smokes, although whether or not it's marjuana is up for debate
*Technically
no her mom drinks her dad only cares about himself and his looks and never cares about opal and her grandpa smokes i would say if your not to scared to go and watch the film :)
@@scentlessrose3846 well actually in the intro it has pills and beer bottles everywhere
This makes me feel better about myself
love it
I liked every comment on the video to make everyone feel a bit better. 😊
I know I am ridiculously goddamn late but I love this show and this song oml
cool
I have never seen my parents. To my eyes, i dont have parents. I live with my grandma, and the condition she is in right now.. she will pass away soon. After that im gonna have to go to my parents i have never meet before.
God sees you❤ person reading this comment🧸
Is it bad that i want to change my name to Opal?
poor opal :(
wait I don’t understand Opal (Claire) name thingy
I mean I know they are the same person but
Claire is opal but opal isn’t Claire or is it
Opal is Claire but Claire isn’t Opal??
I will legally change my name to opal just to play this at my funeral.
If I gave birth to a daughter, I'd name her Opal to have this as her lullaby. This adult swim short has taken my whole life and I showed it to my mom and I first watched six days ago. I haven't been this obsessed since discovering IT back in 2017. Why didn't we discover Opal at the same time?
@@Sarahonwheels I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
this makes me sad i dont know why
also hai
Probably because the song is about a girl getting abused by her family and making up a fake family that loves her so she doesn't have to face reality
this would be better if you kept the original audio pitch
Why is it called a reprise if there’s no original version?
there is in the start of the short
sounds like an anthem
I remember the first time I listened to this song I started crying
Yes @cheese9013 but also MOM IM FAMOUS!!!
