It's not random at all, it's probably a thought she has all the time when she feels low. When you feel down on yourself, you get all sorts of "random" negative thoughts. Honestly, my thoughts are even darker and worse than this. Though I suspect Rebecca's would be more intense if they weren't on network TV. There's only so much you can get away with on the CW. The show honestly really pushed the boundaries a lot.
this song is genius. it has the over-the-top drama of a broadway song which is comedic but also sort of rings true to just how devastating and blown out of proportion things can feel when you’re in a bad place. i think a lot of us can relate to making these sort of self-loathing generalizations when anything goes wrong, and so there’s comedy but there’s also truth to it. and the last chorus kills me because it’s like she finally breaks and it’s not actually comedic, it’s completely serious and you can feel how hard it is. oof i love this show
It's even worse with the later plot point of Rebecca being diagnosed with BPD, a personality disorder that often manifests as impulsivity, abandonment issues, and emotional instability. If she wandered into self-loathing over her undiagnosed issues and made the assumption that she's struggling because of something intrinsic to her existence rather than a serious mental health issue caused by copious amounts of trauma in her childhood, it would be like someone else's experience but cranked all the way up to 11.
"Self indulgent self loathing" is a phrase i identify so much with. That feeling of Knowing that this thought process is awful for your mental health in the long run but you just want to keep insulting yourself like your picking at a scab.
"but you just _want_ to keep insulting yourself" I feel bad there are other people who feel this way, but at the same time I'm relieved. I always thought it was weird how not only do I hate myself, but that I want to keep hating myself. I want to keep making myself feel bad. I want to keep hurting myself. Ig it's because I feel I deserve it. And I think that's why I don't tell anyone or get help.
@@thebelen2359 Why should you hate yourself? If there's anyone in this world that you should be rooting for, it's YOU. Be kind to others but be your own best friend FIRST. Friends and acquaintances will come and go in this life but the only person you will ever have for your entire life is YOU. You have just as much right to be a friend to yourself as anyone else does. So stop hating yourself!!!
I cry every time I hear this because the self-hate talk is way too familiar. And then I start laughing because of the broken glass decorations in the back, lol.
I saw one of the lives shows and Rachel did this as the encore and I cannot imagine what it feels like to have an entire theatre yell sing this at you.
Mike W That was an anomaly. Let's forget it. Let's instead celebrate the brilliant acting, singing, and songwriting she does on this show consistently.
this is seriously how i used to feel a few years back. i was in a really bad mental health state and i just hated everything about myself and kept degrading myself. i also remember when i watched this episode back then and this song came out and i could relate completely. back then i made jokes about it like "lol its totally me" but i also felt really bad and hated myself. i think crazy ex girlfriend is such a funny and fun show, but it also depicts mental health very realistically. i am so glad to be doing much better now and i am so thankful for this show for being there for me when it was so difficult. i dont know if anyones gonna read this but if you are, and youre having mental health problems, please seek professional help, and i know it sounds like a cliche but i promise it does get better. but its important to get help.
sorry for you and its good that rebeccas mental health development helped yours just love yourself how much is possible for you invisible people are back on you :)
@@111ohno i understand how you feel, at least to some extent.. i can tell you a few things- first of all, youre definitely not a lost cause. there will never be a scenario like that. there is always a chance. second, i doubt that youre a terrible person, because actual terrible people never notice how terrible they are, and they dont shame themselves. unfortunately from both my own experience and seeing many other people deal with the same thing, there is (i guess) symptom of mental health issues that causes you to just despise yourself. ive seen this so many times especially with people who are seriously so pure and caring, so i know that its never an indication that the person is actually secretly evil. i truly hope that you manage to get help and become healthier as soon as possible (tho it does take time). you deserve to feel well. please stay strong.
Hey, thank you so much for this comment. Especially through this lockdown its so easy to feel alone and you made me feel less alone. I sometimes think its unneccessary and that I can go by(mental health help and treatment). Kinda hard to admit it in the first place and even connect to new people because Im so in my head. I dont even know why I wrote this to you here but thanks. And also thanks to Rachel Bloom who is my queen.
"That Text Was Not Meant for Josh" was such a fantastic episode musically. This and Textmergency (... and Where is the Rock) it was by far one of the most solid entries.
Only Rachel could make an ironic song about self-loathing to show how destructive it is, and the song would still be perfect to lie on the floor and cry from self-hate while unironically listening to it.
“Now he know i’m not an innocent lamb... he sees me for what I am” i love that part. When your lies just show what you tried to hide! Rachel bloom gets me with this song!!!
Am I the only who this song makes cry? It is relatable, but that is exactly what makes it heartbreaking. Feeling this way about yourself isn't quirky or relatable, it's incredibly sad.
"Won't stop the self pity cause I'm on a roll" We've all been there, purposefully telling ourselves awful things and making ourselves feel worse, but fuck it we're on a roll
I read somewhere that they were aiming for a "Bernadette Peters in concert" vibe with this, and I have to say they nailed it. Literally the exact thing I thought when I saw her was "She looks like Bernadette Peters about to win Steven Sondheim another lifetime achievement award. Assuming there's one of those he doesn't already have."
It's really good! Yeah! I like that show Malcom in middle for the same reason. A lot of their jokes are based on old school timing and facial expressions and I'm all for it.
that‘s exactly what made me fall in love with this show. as soon as I saw this performance I was like „Shit, I‘m not the only one who thinks like this?“ and it kinda made me happy (:
One thing I love about this song is the fact that whenever she sings it live she actually says "You guys know this one." and "Sing with me! Yes, I deserve this!" And the audience joins in every time she says "Sing with me".
I still think it’s amazing that this show was on TV. This song helped me put my own self-deprecating tendencies in perspective and literally improved my mental health. A song on a random TV show! Thank you Rebecca Bloom!
this song always makes me cry....as weird as that might sound......because I can relate to it so much, that self loathing, that self hate.......even though it's played off as a "ha ha" moment, it really shows the lack of self esteem Rebecca has and how low in regard she holds herself.......I hope she does learn to fully love herself and see how amazing she is
I just had to opportunity to see Rachel Bloom live last night and I have to say it is a hell of an experience being in the audience during this song and getting to sing it back to her with everyone else!
N Enixel I’m also completely in love with this show! He helped me go through a tough break up it is so genius! Brilliantly written, funny, touching. It’s a shame I live in Switzerland and nobody loves this kind of humour and people don’t really know this amazing show...
N Enixel Only 4 seasons. After that, we're all responsible for our own internal show. 4 seasons is a good amount of time for self-reflection, more than that is self-indulgence and escapism. We're all going to miss this show, but that's OK. We'll somehow find a way to go on.
I fricking love the musical numbers where Rebecca just belts, like this one, A Diagnosis, and Tell Me I'm OK Patrick. When is Rebecca gonna be on Broadway already???
It makes me so happy to see a main character in tv show that shares my body type. Rachel seems so proud of body and it gives me hope for my own self image.
Same. It always gets me when I rewatch how small she was in the first season, and then immediately thickened up as the show went on. My body would have done the exact same thing. I always wonder how long she had to live off baby carrots to be as small as she was in the first episode.
I came back here after the show ended and I gotta say that what Rachel did here (and of course the entire team) is incredible. All the songs they came up with and the perfect reprises. This is by far one of my favorite shows and I’ll keep watching it for a long time.
Possibly the most brilliant, genius, and least funny songs from all of CXG because it's so sad and relatable. Over the top and completely accurate for any of us who have ever fallen into a pit of low self esteem when all you want to do is beat yourself up for mistakes you've made. Brilliant.
Monohina I think “you guys know this one” is more a nod to the fact that we all have thought these kind of things about ourselves in more or less intense ways, at one point or another.
@@m0m055 I agree with Monohina, it goes along with when she says she sings there "a lot". You might relate to the line as a watcher but in the show it's directed at the imaginary concert audience in her own head, and the idea is that this imaginary audience is very familiar with the song, since the song = her feelings and she keeps circling back to feeling this way.
This song cracks me the fuck up. The classic ballad feel, the "and lose some weight" and the emphatic and curt "Bitch"...Lmfao. I find myself singing this song aloud even though I don't usually talk to myself like this. It really is brilliant.
I know she's acting (and very good at it) but it still has to take an emotional toll singing this song with that much passion. It's just so raw and relatable. No matter how good your self-esteem and mental health are, I think we've all felt this way at least one point in our lives.
This song perfectly expresses that feeling when you realize you messed up and have only yourself to blame. I wish more people were familiar with this amazing show and specifically this song, because I do burst out singing it on occasion and if the other person doesn't get the reference, it's kinda crazy. Well, it's kinda crazy even if you do, but just so relatable at those times. We've all been there. Miss you, Rachel Bloom.
Not enough thumbs up in the world for this song. It manages to perfectly encapsulate the feeling of depression and self-loathing (as someone who’s far more familiar with that feeling than I’d like to be, it’s spot-on) while demonstrating how ridiculous and over-exaggerated it can get. This is just a great representation of a really awful mental illness. Thanks a bunch.
This song is the most conflicting piece of art I have ever encountered in my life. It's musically beautiful, and then I'm thinking that it's just a joke song and that I'm in on the joke, but then at the end of it I am still somehow crying. It's just something else, it does so many things at once
Exactly how I feel at the moment. Thanks to this awesome show for telling us that it's ok to feel this way sometimes but that in the end, this is not what we deserve.
This show is truely a gift that keeps giving . Not only an amazing funny, upbeat, deep, relatable, sad, insightful (I could go on....) that is unique to each audience member but also connects people, we are left with so many amazing songs we can listen to anytime & for any mood. I definitely have many on my list for when I need a pick me up, to feel more lighthearted and that remind me I am not alone and that my thoughts are shared by others 'Take Me To Where The Normal People Are'....no, no, no, no, no, nope.... take me to Rachel Bloom & Rebecca Bunch world. I know Rebecca is a character but rightly or wrongly I feel I am watching Rachel, that they are one in the same, yet Rebecca gets to play out life in a way you reallywish you were able, (like breaking into song randomly & often in the work place 😂)and screw to social constraint and decency. I still don't quite understand why this show is so impactful and why I can gush about it (it's been a very long time since I've felt like this about a TV show) but I am reminded when reading the comment sections for CExGF related videos & songs that many feel this way also. It is bang up to speed with life, yet with none of the fakey agenda pushing done badly & obviously, it is just real & doesn't need to talk about such things every 2 minutes. One other amazing thing is the actors, I've not watched anything, maybe ever where each actor is perfectly cast & 100% believable, owning the person.they play. Even children including when in extra roles (one example being the children back ups in the video of the song Face Your Fears). Young Rebecca was incredible, she played her role with understanding that usually would come with being an adult, but clearly she wasn't! And the girl playing Darrels daughter, was also highly commendable! They both had so much insight! How did they do this!? Casting deserve a gold medal 🥉 I sound like a crazy, 'crazy ex girlfriend' fanatic don't I!? 😂

This series could be summed up as
“Emotional Trauma: The Musical: The Series”
I’m the one who brought the beans lol
I’m the one who brought the beans ok but like actually tho lmao
Yes
I MEAN YOU'RE NOT WRONG
The spin off should be called Ice cream and Red Wine
"And lose some weight" is so random and perfect at the same time
She just had to add some more to the hatred just for fun!
It's not random at all, it's probably a thought she has all the time when she feels low. When you feel down on yourself, you get all sorts of "random" negative thoughts. Honestly, my thoughts are even darker and worse than this. Though I suspect Rebecca's would be more intense if they weren't on network TV. There's only so much you can get away with on the CW. The show honestly really pushed the boundaries a lot.
That's what women do. When get down on ourselves about whatever and throw in too fat on top if it.
LMFAOOOOOOO its like i wrote it
That’s Rebecca
I die every time she says "yeah you guys know this one"
Because honestly...I fucking do
Ramonerdna it’s the “yes! I deserve this!!!” That gets me.
and me on the "he sees me for what i am"
Omg same!!! hahaha
HAHAHAHA
i keep falling into these crazy ex girlfriend video rabbit holes.
Same. Help.
same innit
Today I wake up with "fuckton of cats" in my head, two hours later I'm trapped watching the music videos
Same sister, same.
Lmao just embrace it
my mum doesn't speak English so she has commented a couple of times how beautiful this song is lol
I dont speak, Lol
The great thing is it's sung like a triumphant song, so if you don't know English you probably think it's about a woman winning love and acceptance.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It really IS!! I get stuck to it all the time and start singing it under my breath around my family and then realize and have to reign it in. 😬
She's not wrong.
this song is genius. it has the over-the-top drama of a broadway song which is comedic but also sort of rings true to just how devastating and blown out of proportion things can feel when you’re in a bad place. i think a lot of us can relate to making these sort of self-loathing generalizations when anything goes wrong, and so there’s comedy but there’s also truth to it. and the last chorus kills me because it’s like she finally breaks and it’s not actually comedic, it’s completely serious and you can feel how hard it is. oof i love this show
100%. You’ve basically deconstructed why this song and sequence hits so hard and is so memorable.
Yup
It's even worse with the later plot point of Rebecca being diagnosed with BPD, a personality disorder that often manifests as impulsivity, abandonment issues, and emotional instability. If she wandered into self-loathing over her undiagnosed issues and made the assumption that she's struggling because of something intrinsic to her existence rather than a serious mental health issue caused by copious amounts of trauma in her childhood, it would be like someone else's experience but cranked all the way up to 11.
Yeah I listen to this song so much when I feel bad lol. It helps
It 100% reminds me of Funny Hunny from Chicago.
The pain in her eyes when she shouted "Sing with me!" this song just gets through me
Hezekiah Pabico the acting is phenomenal!
Hezekiah Pabico “YES, I DESERVE THIS”
oH nO-
"Self indulgent self loathing" is a phrase i identify so much with. That feeling of Knowing that this thought process is awful for your mental health in the long run but you just want to keep insulting yourself like your picking at a scab.
“The Darkness” is another amazing song from this show in a similar vein. Super hard hitting.
"but you just _want_ to keep insulting yourself"
I feel bad there are other people who feel this way, but at the same time I'm relieved. I always thought it was weird how not only do I hate myself, but that I want to keep hating myself. I want to keep making myself feel bad. I want to keep hurting myself. Ig it's because I feel I deserve it. And I think that's why I don't tell anyone or get help.
@@thebelen2359 Maybe get some help?

When I first heard this while watching the show I literally almost cried in front of everyone becaus of how relatable it was
Same, btw I love phan, the beans and melanie too (going by the username and profile pic XD)
+MrsSweetheart102 yup. I would put more that's too difficult
i'd say it has to be one of the most painfully relatable songs on the show.
I cry every time I hear this because the self-hate talk is way too familiar. And then I start laughing because of the broken glass decorations in the back, lol.
Yep- she knew she had to put something there to redeem it. It's a heartbreaking song.
I saw one of the lives shows and Rachel did this as the encore and I cannot imagine what it feels like to have an entire theatre yell sing this at you.
Isn't it nice to take the power out of that feeling?
one thing i saw on the youtube relive, is that the cast and crew did a cover for rachel of this song that made it really sweet
My name is Rebecca and I wouldn’t mind lol
well, she's not wrong. I do know this one :-(
+ThisIsNot AnAlias yup
@Masticatious - I feel ya. My version is at LEAST two verses longer. :( (Of course, the chorus is exactly the same.)
this song does represent a lot then...
*hug

Just finished the show two days ago and already miss it so much that it hurts. It was a perfect work.
watch it again and cry more this time
I'm going to finnish it today, I'm on episode 17 like 20 minutes in!!!
She just stared into my eyes and said wow Rebecca you've done it now, yes I have, thank you for noticing!
I just finished it today in the morning and I'm having withdrawals already lol
It was an artistic masterpiece and is so underrated. EVERYBODY LOVE THIS SHOW MORE. NOW!

OMG
You stupid b…
No, they're a metaphor for her soul
Same here bro/sis, after the 50th rewatch I noticed....
Before the mention of Josh, I legitimatelly thought I fell asleep and was dreaming that Rebecca was singing about me specifically.
The “yes I deserve this!” Is so sad but how she says it just makes me giggle.
"That Text Was Not Meant for Josh" was such a fantastic episode musically. This and Textmergency (... and Where is the Rock) it was by far one of the most solid entries.
Daniel Dang there are two types of people
Hm I thought textmergency was one of the weakest songs of the series. This one is great tho
*Textastrophe
Literally, even years after the fact “Where is the rock?! (ROCK!)” gets stuck in my head regularly.
Only Rachel could make an ironic song about self-loathing to show how destructive it is, and the song would still be perfect to lie on the floor and cry from self-hate while unironically listening to it.
this is my theme song
Stevie V huggles..from a random stranger
Big Fucking Mood.
Same
same here

She needs Patrick to tell her she's okay
Sinovuyo Matiwana cause she’s only, like, 43 percent sure
Forget telling her she's okay, she needs him to hand her the fucking manual he's hiding in his truck!
We know he has the manuel. And also is secretly a werewolf
@@oosakasan well if not the manual, even just “K” would suffice
“Now he know i’m not an innocent lamb... he sees me for what I am” i love that part. When your lies just show what you tried to hide! Rachel bloom gets me with this song!!!
Well said!
Am I the only who this song makes cry? It is relatable, but that is exactly what makes it heartbreaking. Feeling this way about yourself isn't quirky or relatable, it's incredibly sad.
It’s a parody of the idea that people are usually their own worst critics.
Nope, not the only one, every time I hear this song I feel even worse
Idk I’d rather laugh about it when I can.
i think most of us cried to this song at least once
well... it is relatable if you do feel that way, that's the point. but yeah me too i cried myself to sleep to this song on repeat yesterday LMAO
I honestly just love how aggresively she says "bitch" every time.
For me its you ruined everything
"Won't stop the self pity cause I'm on a roll" We've all been there, purposefully telling ourselves awful things and making ourselves feel worse, but fuck it we're on a roll
X'D Lost it at "Yes, I deserve this!" The enthusiasm is wonderful.
I read somewhere that they were aiming for a "Bernadette Peters in concert" vibe with this, and I have to say they nailed it. Literally the exact thing I thought when I saw her was "She looks like Bernadette Peters about to win Steven Sondheim another lifetime achievement award. Assuming there's one of those he doesn't already have."
The dress is perfect for it. I think I've seen her wearing one that looks very similar, but in purple.
Her inflection on "sing with me" and "yes, I deserve this", so theatrical it borders on a Transatlantic accent, is pure Bernadette.
Not only do I relate to this song on every level, My name is also Rebecca.
I think you missed the point of the song my dude
do you have good hair?
I hope the "breaking and entering" isn't all that familiar :O
VioletxPurple I think you missed the point of the comment dude
I'm Rebecca also
"yes Josh completes me but how can that be, when there's no me left to complete" damn that line hits way too close to home 😳
1:16 the comedic timing and emphasis when she says “bitch” there just has me laughing my ass off.
It's really good! Yeah! I like that show Malcom in middle for the same reason. A lot of their jokes are based on old school timing and facial expressions and I'm all for it.
@@Random_Fanaticreally?
I love the fact that the subtitles are in caps lock. It's like the person who wrote them was singing along while writing and enjoying it like crazy
It is awesome! Hahahaha I noticed that too. Makes it even better and I didn't think that was possible.
It's so wonderful to be back at this video, even though I'm here watching this video... alot.
This song should be depressing but it’s actually super comforting to know I’m not the only one who thinks like this from time to time 😂
that‘s exactly what made me fall in love with this show. as soon as I saw this performance I was like „Shit, I‘m not the only one who thinks like this?“ and it kinda made me happy (:
..which is of course incredibly sad to know that so many people feel this way but anyways
😂😂 true
Sometimes other folks ARE singing your song. You are not alone.
For real lol!
One thing I love about this song is the fact that whenever she sings it live she actually says "You guys know this one." and "Sing with me! Yes, I deserve this!" And the audience joins in every time she says "Sing with me".
ysa :P when she sang this at the crazy ex gf concert episode 4x18 it was so emotional I had to immediately rewatch the whole series
When showed this to my family, they pointed out that the audience is all only her voice loool
I still think it’s amazing that this show was on TV. This song helped me put my own self-deprecating tendencies in perspective and literally improved my mental health. A song on a random TV show! Thank you Rebecca Bloom!
This is my inner thoughts even when I make the tiniest mistake.
THIS IS STILL THE BEST SONG EVER HAHAHAHA!! Who's still here in 2020?!

I came back here after the show ended and I gotta say that what Rachel did here (and of course the entire team) is incredible. All the songs they came up with and the perfect reprises. This is by far one of my favorite shows and I’ll keep watching it for a long time.
Possibly the most brilliant, genius, and least funny songs from all of CXG because it's so sad and relatable. Over the top and completely accurate for any of us who have ever fallen into a pit of low self esteem when all you want to do is beat yourself up for mistakes you've made. Brilliant.
Honestly, I get this kind of commentary in my head so damn often. At least now I have a song to put to the self-hatred haha.
Lmao it hit extra hard when she said “you guys know this one” hinting to her always singing it
Monohina
I think “you guys know this one” is more a nod to the fact that we all have thought these kind of things about ourselves in more or less intense ways, at one point or another.
@@m0m055 I agree with Monohina, it goes along with when she says she sings there "a lot". You might relate to the line as a watcher but in the show it's directed at the imaginary concert audience in her own head, and the idea is that this imaginary audience is very familiar with the song, since the song = her feelings and she keeps circling back to feeling this way.
This song cracks me the fuck up. The classic ballad feel, the "and lose some weight" and the emphatic and curt "Bitch"...Lmfao. I find myself singing this song aloud even though I don't usually talk to myself like this. It really is brilliant.
"Poopy little slut" lmfao....
I loved this song and the episode was one of the best.
Agreed.
This is still one of my favorite songs from the series, absolutely perfect
1:00 🥲 I cried when she said that. It was so emotional
I know she's acting (and very good at it) but it still has to take an emotional toll singing this song with that much passion. It's just so raw and relatable. No matter how good your self-esteem and mental health are, I think we've all felt this way at least one point in our lives.
Greatest song of all time
Gosh. The performance is brilliant.
2:05 gave chills till the end ❄
she's actually got a really good voice!
"Won't stop the self pity, because I'm on a roll."
This song perfectly expresses that feeling when you realize you messed up and have only yourself to blame. I wish more people were familiar with this amazing show and specifically this song, because I do burst out singing it on occasion and if the other person doesn't get the reference, it's kinda crazy. Well, it's kinda crazy even if you do, but just so relatable at those times. We've all been there. Miss you, Rachel Bloom.
I love this show
I loved loved loved this show!!!! Rachel was a perfect cast for this. Ugh. I know what im bingeing this weekend.
The line “Yes Josh completes me but how can that be when there’s no me left to complete” is so meaningful to me. It’s almost comforting?
I wanna hear her sing “it’s over isn’t it?” From Steven Universe.
AH YES IMMA DIE
But explicit
add in a couple shits and bitches and absolutely
"It's fucking over... isn't it?" @@paladin_2164
God, I can't believe I can't find anybody who likes this show. It's so good! When I first heard this song, I was dying. So funny. 🤣
Ikrrr no one knows it but it’s too good
Not enough thumbs up in the world for this song. It manages to perfectly encapsulate the feeling of depression and self-loathing (as someone who’s far more familiar with that feeling than I’d like to be, it’s spot-on) while demonstrating how ridiculous and over-exaggerated it can get. This is just a great representation of a really awful mental illness. Thanks a bunch.
You mean “thanks, Bunch” ?
She needs a reprise of this, right now
She gets it with Santa Ana Winds
the shattered glass chandelier, i love it
God, every time I hear this song it reminds me that I'm not alone in my self hate
2021 and this song is still truly hitting.
2:26 I just realized she calls herself stupid twice 😂
I love the broken glass imagery
2021 - and this is still my anthem
2024 and it is still my anthem :D
the chandelier of breaken glass is a nice touch
I swear she turned out to be more relatable than I ever thought she would be
Me when the waiter says "enjoy your meal" and I answer with you too
This scratches that ITCH when you're breaking down
This song is the most conflicting piece of art I have ever encountered in my life. It's musically beautiful, and then I'm thinking that it's just a joke song and that I'm in on the joke, but then at the end of it I am still somehow crying. It's just something else, it does so many things at once
Am I watching Becca Bunch or Celine Dion ????
Rachel Bloom
It's obviously a sendup of Celine and Barbra and other divas.
Tara Sellers Bette Midler.
Bernadette Peters!!!!!!!!!
It reminds me musically of “The Winner Takes it All” by ABBA too
This song is my shard of glass..I keep coming back here
This song is only my playlist for those days I want to sing my self-loathing thoughts. Love this show!!!
Not gonna lie, this is that one song that legitimately makes me cry
Exactly how I feel at the moment. Thanks to this awesome show for telling us that it's ok to feel this way sometimes but that in the end, this is not what we deserve.
"Yes, Josh completes me
But how can that be when there's no 'me' left to complete?" cut deeper than it should've
This is the first time ever I find a video of my inner voice signing on TH-cam. This is too relatable.
Almost 8 years after my episode, and this song still gets tears every time. The grief is real.
The way she sings "sing with me" always makes me lose it
YES
DYING AT THIS PART
DYING AT THIS PART
Oh my god finally a song I can relate to
Side note: Rachel looks AMAZING in that dress! Slay Queen!!
This show is truely a gift that keeps giving . Not only an amazing funny, upbeat, deep, relatable, sad, insightful (I could go on....) that is unique to each audience member but also connects people, we are left with so many amazing songs we can listen to anytime & for any mood. I definitely have many on my list for when I need a pick me up, to feel more lighthearted and that remind me I am not alone and that my thoughts are shared by others
'Take Me To Where The Normal People Are'....no, no, no, no, no, nope.... take me to Rachel Bloom & Rebecca Bunch world. I know Rebecca is a character but rightly or wrongly I feel I am watching Rachel, that they are one in the same, yet Rebecca gets to play out life in a way you reallywish you were able, (like breaking into song randomly & often in the work place 😂)and screw to social constraint and decency. I still don't quite understand why this show is so impactful and why I can gush about it (it's been a very long time since I've felt like this about a TV show) but I am reminded when reading the comment sections for CExGF related videos & songs that many feel this way also.
It is bang up to speed with life, yet with none of the fakey agenda pushing done badly & obviously, it is just real & doesn't need to talk about such things every 2 minutes.
One other amazing thing is the actors, I've not watched anything, maybe ever where each actor is perfectly cast & 100% believable, owning the person.they play. Even children including when in extra roles (one example being the children back ups in the video of the song Face Your Fears). Young Rebecca was incredible, she played her role with understanding that usually would come with being an adult, but clearly she wasn't! And the girl playing Darrels daughter, was also highly commendable! They both had so much insight! How did they do this!? Casting deserve a gold medal 🥉
I sound like a crazy, 'crazy ex girlfriend' fanatic don't I!? 😂
You made the best comments!! I am 74 and just finished cxg and my favorite of all time...
