Cage town I think is trans hence the lines like "I'll cut my hair" and "I'll hide my chest" and when I saw that you reacted it made me so happy because the last song describes me pretty well. Btw if you see this I love watching your vids they help me forget that i'm stuck at home :)
“Turn off your porcelain face” means something along the lines of “stop trying to hide your feelings”. edit: 9/4/22 wtf this is two years later and im top comment 😨
That's weird, I always thought that it meant to stop hiding behind a mask that will eventually break (porcelain can break easily, right?) I love how can everyone see it in different ways! 😄❤️ Sorry if I spelled something wrong, I'm still learning English 😊
you don’t see many artists who are asexual AND aromantic because everyone is obsessed with love songs and stuff and don’t get me wrong, i really like love songs, i just think it’s cool that he doesn’t really have any :)
@@cosmic_vacancy I'm not sure if it's anything personal to him, but I'm pretty sure they openly said that it was related to the struggles of trans people
i thought it was about his struggles with asexuality because of the first line, ace ppl sometimes feel as though they have to desexualise themselves to fix their problems
“Since when have you heard a kazoo in a song?” SINCE ITS ROBBIE! You should listen to his live music as well, people will play kazoos at his concert, it’s iconic now 😅
Just for information purposes, "Home" is a song about a trans boy and his struggles with finding and accepting himself. I recommend listening to the full song for anyone watching this, because the message is amazing and is very relatable for transmasc people like myself. 👍
today on being trans and hearing cavetown: don't cry during this is home, don't cry during this is home, *don't cry during this is home* (and yeah his voice is probably different because testosterone be like that, and being a more experienced singer but also...t) edit: time to learn that he's likely cis and just,,,lose a role model. f edit number two: turns out,,,nope he is actually trans! him basically having to come out in a bad situation is kinda shitty but,,my unedited comment can be taken at face value now at least
I thought Robbie said he wasn't trans? Either way if he were and just wanted to be stealth we should respect that. I don't mean to come off rude, Robbie just stated before he doesn't like when people assume he's trans
Nerbamas he is trans, he’s posted pics on his Instagram of him pre-t / as a child, obvi we should respect if he doesn’t want to speak about it publicly but that doesn’t make him cis. saying that someone is trans isn’t an insult so it should be ok for us to just state that he is at least, without further digging into things. people should be allowed to look up to him as a trans role model. (this isn’t an attack! I’m just speaking my mind and this isn’t meant to offend anyone❤️)
@@jaehaywardkent yeah don't worry you don't sound rude! It's just obvious whether he's cis or trans he doesn't like when people say he trans. If he is, he even went as far as to have his mom say in a video "I was so excited to have a baby boy" instead of a baby girl. He is definitely a trans icon, me being trans myself, but it doesn't feel right trying to force someone out of the closet
Lemon boy is a way for cavetown to represent his anxiety and depression, like how he learnt to live with and that if 'they' were gone he wouldn't be the same , just saying in case someone was wondering what was it about xd
I read the title as “NEVER listen to CAVETOWN” and I was like coming into the video angry trying to see how many dislikes and got SO confused until halfway through the video😂
@@zeraaa OH MY GOSH! I AM SO SORRY! I DIDN'T KNOW THAT! 😢 I am newer to Cavetown's music... My boyfriend got me into his music around January and I haven't listened to every song... I just knew "Trying" was on the new album, and my boyfriend didn't say it was a like... Updated version... Or anything... I'm sorry...
It might be interesting to know that he’s trans. Therefore he has a lot of supporters from the lgbt+ community To me he was a big inspiration and so much help during my transition
I said this at one point in the chat But I don’t know if you saw it- boys will be bugs is actually Cavetown talking to a ladybug for the whole song- it doesn’t change much about the meaning or anything it’s just a cool bit of information
If you react to Cavetown again, I suggest "Devil Town", "Green", "Hug All Ur Friends" if you want to listen to some of his older songs. He also released his album, Sleepyhead this year. Some of my favorite songs from that album are "Sweet Tooth", "Trying", and "Empty Bed"!!! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO "TRYING"!!!
The “Lemon Boy” song always makes me cry because it says “Lemon boy and I,we’re gonna live forever” and it reminds me of my grandpa,he passed away and I didn’t see him ONCE when he was in the hospital,grandma just came home and told me how he was doing every day,I miss him so much I was crying while typing this out..
If you do a part two l would like to recommend: Sweet tooth I miss my mum Devil Town Green Fool Talk to me Poison His newest song Smoke signals Homesick
@@drew9003 Robbie isn't trans but I think he mentioned in one of his videos that he's aromantic, plus he posted a childhood picture a while back and stated that he just had long hair after people were commenting about it.
TH-cam is recommending only cavetown stuff. Maybe their trying to tell me “hey! You listen to cavetown *TOO* much.” Because I’ve never watched this man in my life
i love how tho gen z has a lot of problems, gen z is also really accepting and supportive of everyone (he got me thinking while he was talking about toxic masculinity)
Cavetown is one of my all time favorite artists, I think it would be interesting if you listened to deviltown if you do a part two because it has a totally different feel to it, and also fool because the lyrics are just phenomenal
Hey man I have a few comments for you! 1. This video is amazing as every video you upload ( I honestly thought cavetown wasn't going to be much your style but I'm glad you enjoyed :)) 2. I'm glad you added boys will be bugs to your playlist it's a really great song (My favorite) I feel (My opinion here) it's how they talk about how boys are put into a social construct and I really like how he tied in the phrase "boys will be boys" with "boys will be bugs" (Don't know why I needed to make this commet) 3. If no one told you this I really liked the Britney Spears video, I thought it was very informative on a topic I didn't really understand much about. I suggest you do some unsolved murder cases because those are always really interesting
I keep thinking this video says "NEVER listen to CAVETOWN" and then getting mad, only to re-read it correctly and get all happy again. Repeat cycle every single time I see this vid
Ik this came out ages ago, but at 7:55 the lyrics says turn off your porcelain face. It suppose able referring to the fake people out there or the people that wear makeup and act so differently to who they once knew and they always hide behind a mask that always stay on, but so easily broken by a few words. Turn off, basically means be who you want to be, stop acting and turn off the person you don’t want to be and be you. Sorry that I ranted, 🙂
@bath time dilara here i have a link of him saying he is aromantic th-cam.com/video/4P6tzcmia4c/w-d-xo.html you can skip to the time signature of 2:57 where he openly admits it
Hi Matthew! You should do a part 2 to reacting to cavetown. Here are some i would recommend: -Juliet -Pigeon -Ur Gonna Wish U Believed Me -Devil Town -Empty Bed -Telescope
(from the lemon boy vid) fun fact about the tree that fell, they didn't expect it to fall and it almost hit Robbie- but then they decided to add it to the video because why not lol
I saw cavetown, I clicked! this was a very good review, i love seeing other positive reactions to Robbie’s music :D *I have to recommend some other songs:* - meteor shower - juliet - snake & the prairie dogs - 888 - jack’s song - fool - hug all ur friends (there are 4 versions but his most popular are v4 (latest from animal kingdom album) and v3, the vid when he had black hair with his uke) - banana bread (v1 or v2) - another one of those days - just add water - sweet tooth - i promise i’m trying (v1) or trying (v2) - devil town (v1, v2, and v3) - talk to me - smoke signals OH also i feel like you would really like This is Home V2. (No, not "Home". Home is technically the 3rd version!) The 2nd version of This is Home is sOOOO calming!! It's found on Robbie's channel when u search up "This is Home"
@@gaygay5780 ah yeah! thank you, I do. added it at the end and forgot to mention it. same!! 3rd version is probably my favorite, but the 2nd and 1st are really beautiful too :)
Oh I love this artist! Story-telling lyrics are my go-to. Interesting, art-related MVs are also really nice! Poetic meanings and stuff and the fact that this is acoustic? Aww man Love it! Also as a side note, I want to suggest you check out The Script, especially 'If You Could See Me Now' and 'Hall of Fame', the lyrics are very deep and poetic, so I kinda want to see your take on it. Thanks!
Omg you should react to "The Story" by Conan Gray (I think that's what its called) it's a really good song, I'm not sure if you reacted to it yet though..
This is a weird song suggestion but you should react to the songs in Steven universe the movie, since first off it's a movie, and their songs in my opinion are cute, and good, but that's just my type of style.
I saw the title and, as someone who LOVES cavetown, clicked on it to see why. Not what I expected, but still love how the dinger in cavetown talks of his experiences I'm pretty sure. Also, 'turn off your porcelain face' I think means to jot hide your emotions since porcelain faces seem to always have the same expression.
I have autism and when I listen to music artists I love I start to stim and watching you love cavetowns music made me very happy because some people find cavetowns music as “odd” or “weird” but you talked about the music and instruments changing is so awsome!!
Cavetown is one of my favorite artists. And I don't know if it's just me, but I've always thought the line "little do we know the starts welcome him with open arms" was sad (and relatable tbh). I interpreted it as "no one knows he thinks of suicide". I've often looked to the stars while at my lowest, thinking of how inviting they are and how I wish I could die and become a part of them again. Most of the lyrics in the song point to the feeling of not fitting in and feeling like everyone would be better off if you were gone. If you react to him again, I suggest "Meteor Shower", "Green", and "Devil Town". "Cereal" and "10 Feet Tall" are also good ones.
One of the reasons his voice changed so much from the original this is home is because Robbie ( cavetown) is transgender so he was going through that transition. Though his practice did have a major impact
when he was talking about how cavetown doesn’t shy away from long moments of instrumentals i thought of his song “banana bread” where the intro is like over 1 minute of just straight instrumental
i don't know what i expected when i started watching mathew's videos, but i really really love it. the way he's open to so many kinds of music and the way he breaks it down is amazing. and it made me so happy the way he talked in the girl in red video and all of the melanie ones. i'm lesbian and generally scared of men, but i would trust this guy with my drink and ive never even met him. he gives me hope for people. so thank you for just being a genuinely good person who makes good content and understands and breaks down good music really well.
"Turn off your Porcelain face" means "Stop faking who you are" The song "Home" is to me about welcoming yourself and to stop listening to others, To want attention, To love yourself. "Get a load of this monster, Hes a mess and he doesn't know who he is yet" is people making fun of the singer for not knowing himself and since he was so lost he was seen as outcasted and labelled a "Monster"
In my opinion, I prefer This Is Home because there was a certain emotional sincerity in the first one that doesn't show in the second one. And I think the song just works so much better this the simplicity of the first one. When you remake a song, you don't' really harbor the same feelings about it as when you first made the song. Plus it sounded like he tried to make the remake sound more appealing. I think if he could have remade This Is Home without actually changing it, it would be absolutely perfect.
Thanks for coming along everyone! I love you all
yassss

Cage town I think is trans hence the lines like "I'll cut my hair" and "I'll hide my chest" and when I saw that you reacted it made me so happy because the last song describes me pretty well. Btw if you see this I love watching your vids they help me forget that i'm stuck at home :)

This is home is actually about the struggles that transgender men feel. Like with the lyrics 'I'll cut my hair' and 'I'll hide my chest'.
i don't think cavetown ever confirmed if he was trans tho so maybe not (but it's definitely relatable to transmasc folks)

This is home is a song about transgender people, and how it feels. It’s. So. Good.
Periodt
Yeah so is dysphoric. As a trans guy I love cavetown.
Actually the song was written about being Asexual, but I still feel like its about being trans 😅
The song (along with the song Dysphoric) wasnt actually written about being trans, but it still hits me with so many feelings as a trans guy,,
Mood
"THAT'S A DAMN KAZOO " !

•Prom dress
•Blame game
•falling for you
•feelings are fatal
(She has a similar vibe to cavetown)
Cliché is also a nice one
suffice and unspoken words are my personal favs ❤️
ted talk and late nights are my favorites :)
@georgenotfound
blame game was my introduction to her, one of my favorite songs. he should definitely react if he hasn't already
I like the older version of this is home. The simplistically of the song with the ukulele at the beginning and the end just makes the song relaxing.
me too, it makes me cry slightly less.
I don't relax I sob everytimr
I like it too because it was the version I listened to first, and it feels really nostalgic for me. it's also very relaxing
Same, it feels more nostalgic since for me it was the first song from Cavetown I heard, but I also really like the new version
Matthew: bopping to this is home
Me, in the background: *literally sobbing and mouthing the lyrics* (it's 4am so I can't actually sing them lol)

cavetown’s songs are commentary on tons of different issues with modern society or mental health, and i love them for that.
CAN YOU DO “Candle” and “trying”/“I promise I’m trying” FOR PART TWO PLEASE

these are the most popular ones, but if you want to cry on camera more you should listen to homesick or pigeon

When I saw the title of this video My mind went YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FINALLY
IM SO HAPPY YOU STARTED WITH LEMON BOY. That songs been stuck in my head all day and I’ve listened to it like 5 times today
when the neweewe wne captions showed up i was like wtf then i just burst out laughing
i knew i was going to cry as soon as i saw the thumbnail
This is Home's lyrics are relating to FtM and stuff i think.
Lemon Boy is actually about Robbie kind of like, in a way, learning to get used to/befriend his anxiety.
Can you please do MISSIO? he's really good
Yeeeeessss
Fun fact that tree that fell in the lemon boy video(2:09) was an accident
when you do a part 2 you should listen to Deviltown and Dysphoric
Don't forget green
Please please do a part two! If you do, I completely recommend Devil Town. It’s one of my favorite songs, and I listen to it all the time :)
Mat: Oh he sounds different in the older one.
testosterone be like
The subtitles got me laughing hard when it was like “new NeW nEwwwwwE”
I thought ur tittle was "never listen to cavetown" then i read it for the 3rd time then i was like "oh, listened"🤣
I have autism and when I listen to music artists I love I start to stim and watching you love cavetowns music made me very happy because some people find cavetowns music as “odd” or “weird” but you talked about the music and instruments changing is so awsome!!
you should do declan mckenna: paracetamol, the key to life on earth, listen to your friends :)
8:29 did anyone feel a little bit of “Queen” vibes when he re did this is home? That was an awesome 4 part harmony!!
OMG yeah! 🤩
Cavetown is one of my favorite artists. And I don't know if it's just me, but I've always thought the line "little do we know the starts welcome him with open arms" was sad (and relatable tbh). I interpreted it as "no one knows he thinks of suicide". I've often looked to the stars while at my lowest, thinking of how inviting they are and how I wish I could die and become a part of them again. Most of the lyrics in the song point to the feeling of not fitting in and feeling like everyone would be better off if you were gone.
If you react to him again, I suggest "Meteor Shower", "Green", and "Devil Town". "Cereal" and "10 Feet Tall" are also good ones.
damn that's so beautiful Imma definitely be thinking about that ❤
His voice sounds a lot different in Home than This Is Home because I think he was transitioning or just had transitioned at that time.
One of the reasons his voice changed so much from the original this is home is because Robbie ( cavetown) is transgender so he was going through that transition. Though his practice did have a major impact
u should totally make a part 2 on this! I recommend listening to Fool, 888, Juliet and maybe some songs from his newest album!
Me: is trans
Objective: do not cry during this is home
Sameee
Mathew: hes still got the little oos in there that’s adorable
🥺
Cavetown will always be my favourite singer
Same
when he was talking about how cavetown doesn’t shy away from long moments of instrumentals i thought of his song “banana bread” where the intro is like over 1 minute of just straight instrumental
9:20 giggles in trans
Personally for me I fell that “Turn off your Porcelain face” is like Show your true emotions don’t be fake ,sorry
“What they’re like”
Well they do use he/they
i don't know what i expected when i started watching mathew's videos, but i really really love it. the way he's open to so many kinds of music and the way he breaks it down is amazing. and it made me so happy the way he talked in the girl in red video and all of the melanie ones. i'm lesbian and generally scared of men, but i would trust this guy with my drink and ive never even met him. he gives me hope for people. so thank you for just being a genuinely good person who makes good content and understands and breaks down good music really well.
"Turn off your Porcelain face" means "Stop faking who you are"
The song "Home" is to me about welcoming yourself and to stop listening to others, To want attention, To love yourself.
"Get a load of this monster, Hes a mess and he doesn't know who he is yet" is people making fun of the singer for not knowing himself and since he was so lost he was seen as outcasted and labelled a "Monster"
"Turn off your porcelain face"
I feel like that could be an analogy for showing more emotion.
In my opinion, I prefer This Is Home because there was a certain emotional sincerity in the first one that doesn't show in the second one. And I think the song just works so much better this the simplicity of the first one. When you remake a song, you don't' really harbor the same feelings about it as when you first made the song. Plus it sounded like he tried to make the remake sound more appealing. I think if he could have remade This Is Home without actually changing it, it would be absolutely perfect.
behind the scene fact for lemon boy, the tree was not supposed to fall, it almost hit cavetown and they had to go with that take
Please do part 2!
Songs: pigeon, fool, green and juliet
I love how his first impression is that hes chill and like...hes is chill
