EDEN SHOULD BE A GENRE

That drop made me rethink my life.

I think i have an explination to this video. We start off looking at the man sitting in a chair with a beer, obviously looking depressed. When the camera zooms in on him and then pans to the right, we are actually entering into his mind and seeing how he feels. He then starts stumbling around what looks like a desolate city (possibly inspired by Chernobyl) and not sure of what he is doing. As he is stumbling around, he looks around, not even sure of what he wants or what he is looking for. He then finds the same chair he was sitting in at the beginning and he begins walking towards it. We then cut back to him in his apartment now sitting up. I think that at this point he realizes that he needs to fix his life (which is the start to recovery, admitting that there is a problem). This matches up with what EDEN says in his last verse "don't feel much better but I guess it's a start". So, what do y'all think?

I think EDEN is writing about his past self. Not about someone else or an emotion. “ I grew up to be exactly what you wanted” from a very young age Jon always wanted to be the person he is today. It also connects to “ I been living out the dream that you dreamt of" so he is talking about his past self dreaming about becoming an artist and now he is living that dream. Also when he talks about when he was 16 and how he should have known, maybe he was talking about not falling in love because then it would hurt him in the future and so he is saying his younger self made choices that fucked him up.

His voice crack at the end of the line “I’ve got nothing to say to you” just hit me so hard. Eden is going through some tough shit. But instead of letting it sit inside him and rot, he makes it into this beautiful music that honestly taught me what real music is. This music really shows why music is considered an art.

its been crazy to see him grow into the artist he is today, like it used to be just a small group listening now its so much more than that. not saying he shouldn't have gotten this big, he has changed so many lives (mine included) so its a good thing, his success helps so many people. we're honestly watching the rise of tomorrow's legend. jon is gonna be everywhere in 2018, vertigo is going to be one of the better albums of the year. god im (we're all too) so proud of him.

doesn’t even feel like this came out 2 years ago Edit: still can't believe its been this long

I can't listen to an Eden song the same ever again. I can't without it hurting a little. Some used to make me smile, laugh, but they just hurt now. I won't be able to look at the stars, fireworks, or lay under a tree the same cause those were things that you always talked about. I know rock + roll was your favorite Eden song, one of them at least. You always play it on your guitar and I even have recordings of it. On the phone I knew if u got bored you'd play your guitar, and although you might've thought I wasn't listening, I was, and it was one of those things that made me really fucking happy. You asked me if I would support you if you decided to be musician, ofc I would. You would be amazing, you have so much unseen talent. I would support with almost anything.lI remember how excited you got when u first learned to play songs, you got so happy. The first Eden song you told me to listen to was circles, then end credits, cause u said it reminded u of me. But I listen to wake up cause it was the first song that popped up. I remember you telling me you didn't like the term fallen in love cause it meant they've stopped falling. You liked the term falling better cause you said you would continue falling even if I hit the ground before me. I don't think that's true and you'll find many better prettier people than me. I wrote this here mostly cause I know this song hits you pretty hard, and it does me too, it makes me cry, even when you were here and happy. It's beautiful and it always makes me think of you. All I can think about tho is you thinking about Her. Yes I'm jealous, I will admit that full of shame. I don't want to lose you but I can't be with u before you find yourself and what makes you happy I'll just hold you back. I'm not going to text you until Dec 13 and I already am obligated to go through with that. I miss you. I miss kissing you and the feeling that lingered afterwards. I miss the warmth of your hugs and the safety of your hands. I miss you laying your head on my shoulder and me playing with your hair. I love you.... More than anything... You've always know that and I don't want you to forget... I think you'll always be on my mind. I'm never gonna forget you. I couldnt forget my first love. I know you're lost, and I hope you do well Michael and everything turns out alright in the end. I love you.. I'm sorry.

*“Sometimes you can get so caught up in little things or people, like you can value someone, or your friends or something, almost more than yourself"* -EDEN

He has a song for every single emotion that I have

EDEN's comment section is the only one where I find no toxic comments.

I love EDEN's music. At first I won't really be feeling it but a feeling starts creeping in, and I feel the need to listen to the song again. Then BAM I fall in love with it

I think its gonna be one of my favorite Eden songs

I usually think EDEN songs are pretty sad, but then when I see the video I just get fucked up on the feels much love to all you EDEN fans out there

name a better duo than Jon and modified voice Jon i'll wait

I rarely comment or rate any video but man, your songs have quite literally saved my life, in every aspect. I tried to commit a couple times after I was told to go do it by my mom so I walked up the street one time a just cut 3 long lines from my palm to my elbow and I was bleeding out but I got scared and called the police, next thing I know 2 state troopers, 4 local police, 2 emt trucks and 1 ambulance were there in what seemed like 30 seconds but I know it was longer. While I was in the ambulance it was just the most numb I've ever been and at the time I wished I didn't call anyone, that I just died there but when I was in the ER and I had someone watching me at all hours because I was high risk I came to realize that people care, even if they don't know you they care and thats what I feel your music is about. I've always wanted to see him in concert but I don't have the money to travel and see him so that is only a dream, hopefully in years to come if you are still performing concerts I will be the first one there.

eden is just an underrated singer. somewhere i wish he will grow big but i also want him to be our little amazing secret

My favorite track from Vertigo so far ! This is shaping up to be one hell of an album !

I can't believe we've had five years with Vertigo now! I discovered EDEN's music twice before actually getting into it, and this song was the catalyst. I'm really glad I was here to witness the album at release - it is a memory I cherish.

You know what would be amazing? If EDEN collaborated with Lauv, man that would be sheer perfection...

"I think you fucked me up and I got nothing to say to you" Relatable.

I almost screamed in class when I saw this! thanks for making the best music out there EDEN!

“but silence is better than fake laughs or faking were always up” WHY THIS HURT ME SO BAD ???

I just saw eden's story about the building being attacked:(

i love he’s becoming so big but also sad, im going to miss him being our little secret, been a fan for two proud years and can’t wait for more

Been listening to this shit on repeat since last night and it's so fucking amazing.

I love the heavy bass at 2:02, I always wish he used it for more of the song.

im coming back after 5 years

The meteorite @ 1:19 = January 19th = Release of his album ;)

Is it safe to say eden is more than an artist?

The God of sad music, man. You can hear how broken his heart, doesn’t matter if it’s high pitch or not, you can hear the pain in both of those beautiful voices of him. I like his music so much but when it comes to sad ones, he is just so good at it. So good that makes me cry everytime.

1:20 theres that same falling star thing from the Gold video. WHAT DOES IT MEAN, I MUST KNOW

Am I the only one who noticed that the crash and gold music videos are connected? At 0:53 you can see a picture of his family (the family from gold music video) and in the gold music video around 1:03 you see her hold up a blue sweater and smell it (the blue sweater the guy is wearing in this video). I’m probably wrong but both songs are what the other person is feeling at the moment. Sweater guy is still dreading over the fact that he’s not with his family and can’t move on. Orange hair lady has moved on for the most part and is getting rid of the guys things. Idk just a theory. There’s also the meteorite flare in the both videos which we’ll have to see what it is.

LYRICS : [Intro] It's been a few years since you've been gone There's been a few tears, but that was years and years ago Yeah, I grew up to be exactly what you wanted Yeah, I been living out the dream that you dreamt up It's been a few years with more to come It's been a few years since I've felt sure of what I want And I woke up today and found that you were waiting here for me and I thought Woah, old friend it's bittersweet How could you do this to me? How could you do this to me? Yeah [Verse 1] 'Cos you are not who you think you are There's no grain on these brown eyes, but they can be green if they really want And I can bend your words so they say exactly what hurts the most But silence is better than fake laughs or faking were always up, loose grip The world bends around you And living through cracked screens We fall fold down to what we want Out of love, we talk through lines, we're made of smoke And just in time, we drift away Diffusing light, confusing times Growing up, or cascading down? Cascading down I'm hurting now [Verse 2] But change comes slow If you hate what's in your head, the fuck would you speak your mind? In search of lost time Just 21 so I'm young and I'm stupid Only 16, yeah I think you should've known I think you fucked me up I think, I think you fucked me up And I've got nothing to say to you [Outro] It's been a few years and I've moved on Couldn't make it disappear, oh I tried so hard to be strong But I grew up today and faced that I'm not just lonely Don't feel much better but I guess that it's a start

1:20 with the beat drop, star falling and the phrase "cos' you're not who you think you are" is perfection.

In gold and crash theres a shooting star the lady in gold leaves it be and doesnt care but this man does, he goes out and follows it, this indicates that they were in a relationship and the lady doesnt care anymore but the man does. And even more evidence of this is that they both have the same picture frame. Also its 1 kid 1 woman and 1 man, the kid isnt visibly a male or female could this mean its eden since he said "ive been looking for the stars but it seems that they're all gone" in start//end, idk.... This song was the mans perspective gold was the ladies and start//end was EDENS.

"I think you fucked me up"

Vertigo is gonna be all over the charts in 2018. I'm calling it....

I think it's funny how we all first thought "whoa, it's a female singer". But if you really listen closely, especially when they harmonize, it's just EDEN's voice in a higher, edited pitch. Talent at its finest.

Master piece ! you're changing so many lifes with your music you don't have a roof you're above thar

who broke my baby EDEN :(

It’s been a few years since you’ve been gone

The way he say "And I've got nothing to say to you" . Dear lord thats deep

This was the last song my dad ever got to hear. After 2 months in a hospital this song made him smile through the pain and the reality he was facing. A year later and its still just as powerful to me. Thank you Jon for making my old man smile one last time. I really hope you find many pleasures in your music career and enjoy the time you have with the people around you. You are more than talented. Thank you.

The meteorite again 1:19 that means something for sure

Reminds me of Rock N Roll tune. It’s amazing, it has this sorrow in its tune, it just melts me everytime I ‘m listening to this. I’m late to comment, sigh. But it’s out in SuicideSheep I listened to that one first. It’s beautiful. I’m falling in love yet again. Thank you, Eden ❤️

2:03 damn that bass hit hard

01:20 - 01:54 sounds so good

I wish the radio would put his music. Meanwhile, those who are here before he becomes popular. You guys are legends.

IM SO HYPED FOR THIS ALBUM 2018 couldnt arrive quicker

I feel bad for the people who don't know the meaningful, creative and chill music of EDEN. He manages to hit me right in the heart everytime and I love it.

It's been at least solid 3 years and still hits hard 😶 (since I first heard the song)

_i’m not crying_ , *yoU’RE cRyiNG*

At 0:52 I think there's a picture of the family we see in Gold. The man in this video could be the father of this family which somehow ended up seperated. It would make sense considering the song is about life crashing into small things you experience everyday and people leaving you (which is a painful process that can sometimes make you lose yourself). Can't wait to what's next for this story. Beautiful song and beautiful videos

1:19 the star comes in and it’s when vertigo was released. The camera then pans down which is the definition of vertigo. The picture is the family from gold and I assume the man is the father. This is a great video and this is my take on it c: I love this song💜 Eden saved me and my love when we were going through bad times together..it saved him, he has a lot of respect for EDEN, and how I listen to the music, I’m just in love

"And I've got nothing to say to you." It sounds like he was gonna cry and it made me cry

well has ever eden made a bad song ?

I JUST REALIZED THAT THE METEORITE MIGHT REPRESENT ICARUS FALLING OUT OF THE SKY FOR THE SONG ICARUS AHHHHHH

The beat that builds up in the middle of the song is like nothing I've ever heard before 😍

not sure how i found eden but damn am i glad for it

This is probably one of his best songs ever!

I'm back listening to this after sheepy - for the vibes again. Love your music man.

Eden, you had no business making me sad!!

*Lyrics:* It's been a few years since you been gone There's been a few tears, but that was years and years ago Yeah, I grew up to be exactly what you wanted Yeah, I've been living out the dream that you dreamt up It's been a few years with more to come It's been a few years since I've felt sure of what I want And I woke up today and found that you were waiting here for me and I thought Woah, old friend, it's bittersweet But how could you do this to me?

HOW ARE YOU ALWAYS THIS GOOD

This music is so good, shows us how much Eden developed as an artist. Congratulations man, hope you the best for your career and album.

I swear, this man is absolute GOLD. EDEN (Jonathan) your music literally touches hearts, get people through dark times, says the words we never imagined someone would say for us, and lifts us up when we don't know how to do it on our own. I can't wait to see you in concert one day! ♥♥♥

Here we are, 5 years later on the exact date. Just like my comment from 3 years ago, this is still up there with my favorite song of all time alongside new songs from "No Future" and "ICYMI". Back then, I felt more sure of what I wanted and who I was, who were my real friends etc. Now as of this year, I feel like I'm lost, more anxious and questioning if said people still "care" about me, nonsense really because I know the answer. I don't know, it's just that things are different now, I'm older, people came and went, life has happened essentially. Months before this moment, I was really emotional and somewhat broken, a friend from last year came back then left again back in August. I was left questioning myself if I had done something wrong or did they just not want to be friends anymore, they meant a lot to me before so that's why I feel like I still care now but do they feel the same? They told me that they did, said they wouldn't leave etc. so what happened? But now, I think I'm in a better place, not so worried, I got a job back in October so that's kept my mind occupied, focusing on myself a little more and being with the friends that are close to me. It was like that for a while now but I'm glad that I feel like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Anyway, that was a lot of rambling, lol, I'm just here for the 5 year anniversary of this song, played it on repeat everyday til "Vertigo" came out. Thank you for this song, EDEN, much love to you and the community that you built! :)

anyone else get a rock + roll vibe?

I was having a really bad fucking day then I got the notification for this

eden ft joji pleasEEE

theory: this song is about EDEN achieving his goals of making it. Jon’s talking to himself, his younger self. He’s gotten everything that he wanted; he’s a artist that’s got loads of fans. But it’s bittersweet because what he had to do to achieve this was to sacrifice what music he actually liked and wanted to produce. He thought he liked what music he was producing, he tried to convince himself that everything he was doing was only growing pains. However, his world goes upside down; it crashes. Everything he’s built comes crashing down when he releases his new music. He’s got to change what he’s doing in order to be not only proud, but happy to continue creating music. Everything he started when he was a teen just making music in the basement, with people picking up on his music. Towards the end of the song, this is his perspective on where he is now. He wanted The Eden Project to disappear, he wanted to be a different, new person. He doesn’t feel better becoming EDEN, but it’s the start of what he truly wants to do.

Thanks *EDEN* for saving my life with your music. What is your Favorite *EDEN* song guys? Mine : EDEN - Drugs

This is so beautiful Jon.

I don't know what this song does to me. Like , I feel like a different person every time I listen to this piece . like, I feel rejuvenated, disturbed, broken, hurt, and chilly,All at once. Does anyone else feel this way? This song totally needs more recognition. So, underrated. Love you ,EDEN.🌸💟

I'm really in love with the extra bass at 1:58. great song in general too

Eden is love Eden is life

crash is gold hahhahaahaha k thanks bye

Your music LITERALLY saved my life...

In my opinion this song isn't about a relationship gone bad, he's talking to himself. It's about loneliness and depression @1:23 that's him talking to himself bending his words into negativity

this is so relatable that im speechless " i think you fucked me up...i think...i think you fucked me up, and i have nothing to say to you" that part speaks like bullets, hearing his voice crack up reminded me exactly of all the times i held on tight trying to tell myself to stay strong while my heart was breaking bit by bit, trying to hold onto an illusion of something that wasn't even real, its funny cuz i remember singing "wake up" every night and hearing her breath as she fell asleep telling me "I love you" . and now im here years later after all the pain ,heartbreak,trying to forget, moving on, getting stronger, growing up... and I listen to this and its hard to breath. its like this song just brought back so much even tho its my first time hearing it, its a weird dark type of nostalgia. it doesn't bring back memories, it brings back feelings, the ones i forgot i had, and just gosh, on this cold winter night overwhelmed with stress, and anxiety. and feeling so little , I hear this and its like a punch in the gut with warm hug after. it reminds me that no matter how painful something is how much it changes you and fucks you up, you will get through it and keep going. no matter how cold your heart gets, you're still you. You're still breathing and you're still alive.... thank you for this beautiful piece of art eden. you're definitely more than just my favorite artist, you're songs are a part of my life , i feel so much less alone with you're music, and im thankful to have that. - 12:20 am

And here we go again, goosebumps at its finest. Your music makes my day, again got me in tears. Feels like yesterday since 'Times Like These' got released and I became your fan. The progress is unbelievable. Thank you Jon, thank you so much.

I've been listening to you since 2015, love the new stuff but i always come back to listen to Vertigo. Honestly, its my favourite album of all time. Could recite all the songs from start to end😂 ❤❤❤❤

The symbolism in this video is amazing... man do i love zhang and knight

With every song my heart warms a little more - its crazy to look back at how Eden has progressed and how each song is pure “gold” ...... (oh all the puns of the comment section) X

#UNLISTEDTEAM Love u Jon

I miss my dad. This song reminds me of him whether it be good or bad. He shot himself 10 years ago. 5-12-09

EDEN songs mean so much to me, cus they don’t only talk about love, they talk about life too

This song has just been playing on repeat in my head all day. I'm sure like many people this song hits very close to home, even though I've personally suffered from heartbreak. BTW anyone who tries beefing with my guy EDEN has something coming. I can't wait to finally see you perform live. Been waiting for 3 years! Visuals are just art. Nothing short of amazing.

There are two guesses to who the person he is singing about is. One: His emotions(most likely sadness). I say this because he says talks about it as an "Old Friend" and that it is bitter sweet. So it could be an emotion that is coming back to haunt him and that they made him who he is and fucked him up. Two: A parental figure. I say this kind of for the same reason for the last thought. Not only that, but parental figures are some of the most influential people in our lives, so they could have shaped him as well. And (to be honest), it sounds like he is talking more about a real person than him talking about a personified version of his emotions.

Eden is so underrated. An actual artist.

Make. This. Trending.

You grew up to be a legend my friend

When she speaks up to counter him, it's what got me to explore more of his music, the emotion there was just so excellent.

I guess we still are hurting, Aren't we all?

goosebumps. thanku eden, for saving my life and changing my way i look at it

Who else relates to this song/ cried to it?

Cascading down! That line, that reverb. I wont ever forget this song!

Anyone still listening to this in 2022? It feels like I’m falling in love with this one all over again.

Love you EDEN, I remember the soundcloud days when he just released his End Credits EP. Nice to see how far you’ve gone. Keep doing what you’re doing Jon. ❤️
