    A song that points out the safe, comfortable familiarity of depression and anxiety and how it can feel easier to just deal with the bad than try to fight your way to the good - is one of the billion reasons this show is so brilliant.

    Proud of Rebecca for realizing that she still needs help. It can be a frustrating thing to admit to yourself, but so crucial if you want to keep moving forwards. It really shows how much she's grown as a character, backsliding is a real thing with mental health problems.

    While naming her darkness "Tyler" lightens the mood, I think it might also be about naming your own darkness and thereby separating yourself from it. That's a thing I've heard people talk about. It's like giving the mean thoughts in your head a name and then telling that person to shut the fuck up.

    Can we also take a second and appreciate both Nathaniel and Josh for behaving so well and not taking advantage of Rebecca? I know this should be the norm, but sadly still isn't.

    • @livingkiss
      @livingkiss ปีที่แล้ว

      This is a stretch, but what immediately came to mind for me is that the lead singer of Twenty One Pilots is named Tyler, and the concept of Blurryface (which shares the name of their biggest and very popular album, released in 2015) is giving depression and anxiety its own name and separating it from yourself.
      Of course choosing Tyler may be a total coincidence. It's beautiful that we can all come up with our own meanings.

    CXG was a vastly under rated show. The songs and comedy were great. All the actors were triple threats (singing, dancing, and acting). I'd like to see more from them, but I suppose the only place where they can fully utilize their talents is on Broadway (where a lot of them came from originally). Musical comedies are pretty rare on TV or cable.

    "For so many years I've used to darkness to feel, but now there are things in my life that are actually real."
    This line resonates so much with my experience dealing with mental illness for half my life. I'm eternally grateful for how this show deals with mental illness. It isn't just about finding treatment, it's also everything that comes after that. The grief over who you could have been. The strength to not fall back into familiar patterns and reach out again and again. It all often feels like a constant leap of faith. I am so grateful this show exists and it has genuinely gotten me through some very low points of my life.
    Not to mention, it's hilarious to boot. I'm not hyperbolizing when I say that this show is a blessing to so many people. (Goodbye Tyler Darkness...)

    • @Silkenray
      @Silkenray 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      As someone who’s been in and out of therapy for most of her life, I understand the feeling of grief over who you could have been. I’ve lost so much time to crippling anxiety.
      We’re never completed, finished, done - we’re always in the process of becoming. Until we’re dead and cold, it’s not too late to blossom and grow. Who we become may not be who we would have been without our struggles, but that doesn’t mean life can’t be full and fulfilling and at times achingly beautiful.
      I’m just an internet rando, but I sincerely hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself, because you matter and the work (as much as it sucks sometimes) is worth it.

    I can’t tell you definitively how this song made me feel, because it created a kind of indiscernible emotional casserole, and I can’t quite pick out everything that’s in it. I picked out a bit of that special anxiety reserved for someone figuring out something you’ve been trying so long to hide, though. There was definitely a little nausea in there too. Mostly, though, I recognized the relief.
    I’ve never known how to explain that my depression has been with me so long, that it felt more like a comfy companion some days, or why exactly it took eight months of therapy to admit I was in serious trouble in the first place. I still keep it to myself that, for awhile there, I’d skip my meds for a few days, just to see how it felt, because I was forgetting, and that was terrifying. I don’t dare even try anymore, because, in the past, before I even got a few words into the subject, a clearly uncomfortable look or a comment revealing a lack of comprehension of my situation in general would have me shrinking back.
    This song felt like talking to a friend that gets it so well, it’s uncomfortable. The conversation is a little unsettling, and a lot sad, but it’s also a relief, because there’s a lot to be said for not being alone, even if the thing you and your companion share is killing you both a little bit.
    I never shrink back from sharing with friends and acquaintances how good this show is, but I want to make sure that you know it, too: This show means so much to me. Some days, it means everything. Today was one of those days.

    If you look, there's a shadow following Rebecca around on the wall for the entire song here. Since this seems to be the only song of Rebecca's where she has a shadow, it's probably not a coincidence that the shadow only goes away when she's standing in front of the glass door of the outpatient clinic.

    I only watched that episode last night & when Rebecca sung that song it triggered something deep inside of me which made me tear up. And I played it over & over again. I've always felt a connection with her character but this time it's like.. hey this is ME! the "darkness" to me is that self destructive part of me that I go to when I don't want to be good or take responsibility for my actions when life gets hard or serious I let the darkness into the drivers seat & just be the passenger going along the road to total destruction of my self. I also have depression, anxiety & other "issues"& bad choices when it comes to guys. I think relationships for me are a distraction from working on healing my mental health?

      But what YOU say is more accurate
      im more likely to not brush my teeth than i am to brush them when im 'content' n stable. guess that means even during those times im still technically depressed, tho it might also be habitual. difficult to say after 3 decades XD This lockdown has been rather triggering n this tv show is helping, hope you too have managed to find support you need

    When I heard Rachel sing the title, it sent me back to my childhood when I used to watch Barbie movies with my older sister and I spent, like, 10 minutes racking my brain trying to remember the song that those 3 notes reminded me of. The song is 'Connected' (from The Diamond Castle according to Google and TH-cam- specifically when they sing _Connected._ I'd leave a link but I don't want this comment marked as spam.).
    Side note- not gay or anything but at 8 years old, the Barbie movies slapped. I'd never watch them on my own but whenever my sister started watching one on TH-cam (the good old days when movies were uploaded in 20-40 1-2 minute parts. I remember the swan one being a 12 parter or so with 5ish minutes each.), I'd watch with her.

    I've just found out about this show 2 weeks ago and I am completely obsessed (in an adorable way ofc)! I binged watched all 4 seasons and I was so sad to find out it's ending. I absolutely adore the songs and characters, you did an amazing job with this! I love that the show talks about real issues and doesn't sugarcoat or romanticize it. Many of the songs speak to me on a personal level. I already made myself a Spotify playlist so I can listen to my favorite CXG songs 24/7. Really excited to see what you're gonna do in the future! Lots of love
