I'm amazed by this hitting 100,000. I'm not going to take a large amount of credit for the attention, because this video would never have existed without the music behind it. Thank you sincerely though for liking my work. I'll start by saying that I don't really deserve this. The only thing I've ever been somewhat good at has been art. Even then I'm not very good, specifically in my productivity, and I always intended this channel to simply be a place to archive my projects. I suppose I should be glad that the things I create can bring some good to people's lives, even if I didn't intend for it. I make things that make me feel like there's something good I can strain from my emotions. I'm a coward, and my values shift constantly. I guess that is why I felt connected to this song, which swings between wanting to be alone or to be cherished. Even still, I'm glad it meant something to you. I find myself to be a troubled person who causes problems for others with my incompetence. I have disappointed those close to me and I have been punished for it before. With the amount of eyes drawn here, I will admit it's a bittersweet feeling to have something good happen for once, in spite of how awful I am. But to all those who have expressed your loneliness, your loss of hope, I don't want you to wallow too long in the bad things. I don't know who you all are personally but I want you all to be able to come back here one day and smile, knowing that things got better for you since you first commented here. The world can be scary and chaotic but I wish for a happy ending for all of you.

this song captures the feeling of loneliness so accurately... great animation!

Really captures how our loneliness and anxiety takes control of us but we don't want that, yet we try and capture those moments of joy that other people have

As the sort of aromantic introvert that can go weeks without face-to-face human contact, this kinda defines my dilemma. Honestly, my greatest fear is that I AM capable of love, I just haven't found that Special Someone to awaken it.

This video really makes me feel better. It feels and sounds happy yet the lyrics are slightly depressing, its like the perfect mix of satisfaction and yearning. Like not knowing what exactly you want but knowing you want something and even if your happy in the moment there’s always that moment when it ends and your back to that missing feeling. This is a really nice video that feels like getting a long awaited hug, Thank you 🥩

KZfaq recommended me this song a couple of months ago. I’m so glad to have found this in my recommended; the lineless style reminiscent of old French landscape artists and the subtle animation are just SUBLIME. The music and visuals just fit so damn well together to present self isolation and loneliness in a way words can’t describe. I can’t imagine how long this must have taken; AMAZING WORK!! 🫶💕

finally one of these animations doesn't end on a false positive that makes you feel 1000x worse

like i want love but my crippling fear of rejection and losing the person keeps me stagnant to the point the feelings become "if i keep all my emotions to myself maybe it will hurt less" so you basically end up a sad bubble of emotions waiting to pop and destroy itself

I'm a sucker for this art style.

This is adorable and I love it. Glad to find another smaller creator to love on. This is beautiful and saddening

I've been through this pseudo-depression. In the end I realized life is about doing what you want, and in reality while I desired for friendships and love I never actually wanted to put in the effort to get any of those things. My feeling of desire was not one of actual desire, it was a feeling of jealousy and envy and a feeling of missing out. In truth I never desired to be in those friendships, I was just scared of missing out on things I felt everyone else were experiencing, and so jealous that they had the lives and friendships and experiences that I wanted, while in reality if I were them and if I were given all those things I thought I desired, in the end it wouldn't work out and I would give up on all of it, because it wasn't what I really wanted, it was what I thought I wanted, because I was scared. I'm not scared anymore. I'm happy and alone. And maybe someday I'll talk, and it won't be so silent anymore.

It looks absolutly gogreous. I love it ❤

Lovely art style and all the shots are very beautiful, great job! Can't wait for the next one!

I still couldn’t believe this song is 55 years old. This is truly ahead of its time, like the 2010s would dig this up.

what a cool artstyle! also it makes me feel a bit more at peace, knowing someone out there also knows the feeling of loneliness. Ironically, it makes me feel like I'm not alone. Thank you for making this

The comfort and certainty from intentionally isolating myself is too strong to even feel like doing the opposite, its even worse if you do actually find happiness in loneliness

This goes right into my “favorites” playlist. I love your art style - it’s simplicity and nice colors and character design make it cute and sad at the same time which perfectly fits the song

I've been feeling a bit... out of my mind recently. This describes what I've been feeling a bit well, though not precisely. I do not feel like I can relate to anyone in my life, and I'm scared that all it takes is to try to open up to others because I have tried and failed so many times to open up to everyone in my life. Now all I do is wait for people to open up themselves and then go around their sense instead of having to burden them with my specific sense of self. It is not like I have anything interesting to personally share with others anyway, especially considering the type of person I am inside and how I need to hide that person anyway or risk being sent off to an insane asylum. At least I'm slowly starting to forget about what my less-healthy side is like, that will be a temporary good riddance even though I know it will come back like it always does.

0:55 she's a literal goddess

That enhanced "hello" really stands out, you know. Like a wake up call, it cuts you, if only for a moment. Speaking as a certified door closer here.

Finally, youtube recommends me something that ISN'T fandom drama! Great work, this cuts directly into my spinal chord and into my heart.

I listened to this song the other day in the radio but I never expected to exist an animatic using it and I never knew the meaning was that sad. You just gained a new sub! The style’s super cute~ By the way, the song’s called “After Hours” by The Velvet Underground!

one of the most comforting videos ive come across as of late, this perfectly describes so many feelings of anxiety and monotony its insane absolutely lovely, i really needed this, thank you so much

LINELESS CHARACTER STYLES ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. Thank you for this amazing video 🫶

ahh..i relate to these lyrics a whole whole lot. this animation was beautiful :)

This song sounds like it could've been made in 2010s or even 2020s. The fact that it's actually from the time when my grandparents were still teenagers is so bizzare

Always nice to see people remember this song. One of my favourites of theirs. Helps that this accompanying animation is extremely charming and fitting as well.

I love the art on this piece. Like at 2:03, how even though it's heavily stylized, you can tell exactly what it's meant to depict - the out of focus lights of a city skyline at night.

I don't like to quote cuz it seems obnoxious to me when others do it, but this quote from Tarkovsky really comes to mind whenever the topic of loneliness gets brought up "I don’t know… I think I’d like to say only that they should learn to be alone and try to spend as much time as possible by themselves. I think one of the faults of young people today is that they try to come together around events that are noisy, almost aggressive at times. This desire to be together in order to not feel alone is an unfortunate symptom, in my opinion. Every person needs to learn from childhood how to spend time with oneself. That doesn’t mean they should be lonely, but that they shouldn’t grow bored with themselves. Because people who grow bored in their own company seem to be in danger, from a self-esteem point of view."

This might genuinely be the coolest thing I've seen all year, the music choice is spot on, but much more than that, your way of storytelling is so unique and I really hope you continue posting your work

I thank the algorithm for bringing me this video. And even more, I thank you for making it. This combination of song and animation perfectly expresses how I've felt the past year. It's sad but also comforting to see others in a similar boat. ❤

WAAAGH your artstyle is so pretty 🥹🥹 i love how you composed this storyboard!! it's so lovely!! i can't wait for what's in your works bc this is so good!! you're an inspiration because this style is definitely my cup of tea 😭

I felt this many times over. I wish everyone the best and push for not making a bunch of friends, but for the few who'll get you, and the you Who'll get them, and everything happening in the middle. this little animation really portrayed your feelings well. really used the song as an instrument for the melody of your feelings. No clue what I said ^ but we got this people

Thanks for the new artist on my playlist. As someone who spent ~5 years in severe depression (and successfully came out of it), I think I can understand these feelings. All will pass. Life is like a falling dominoes. The most terrible things pass over time, the main thing is to push the smallest and first domino

Oh, to be loved...

Can’t relate. Whenever I get lonely I just visit the liquor store.

she's just like me fr also i love channels like these, underground channels that animate some pretty sad-ish stuff (literalhat for one)

That time the Velvet Underground singlehandedly invented lofi indie folk

this song is so comforting and i love your lineless art :0

absolutely love the way the art encapsulates the whole feeling of the darkness inside the closed door blotting out everything. can't begin to explain how this made me feel, but amazing work nonetheless.

I love mimes and velvet underground this is great

Your animation and style is so cool! Keep going!

im glad i got recommended this :) your art is super pretty and the song is very good

Poor gal... did she have no one show up at her bday party? thats so depressing somebody give her a big present 😭

As an introvert I'm happier closing the door...

I love this vid so much. Not only is the animation awesome but it brings me comfort to know that I’m not the only one that has this feeling of being lost in this hard to understand world. Thanks so much for making it!!!!

This is relatable to me. Great animation!

i like the song and the art style keep up the good work!!

i really like your art style!! and the music plus the art give me a really warm yet sad feeling, i love it

Oh my god, I love this. I found myself relating with this character more that I'd like to admit...? But really! Beautiful art. And the little detail of their makeup washing off in the rain? Perfection.

This is really touching and all too relatable. Really wonderful work! And I love your OC!

found this video at a very relatable time. the kinda video that really hits when you know EXACTLY the feeling it's portraying

sometimes it gets to a point where you are willingly decaying, when all you really need to do is take a step out of that room of your own accord instead of it just being out of necessity.

You’re AMAZING, this is amazing, I’m in love

Aww, I feel like giving this little mime a hug. I can be her friend if she wants QuQ I also just love her design, the lil symbols on both her eyes, her green colored eyes and the small detail of her make-up smearing in the rain. I just love her and I hope she'll find happiness one way or another

love this love your style and the colors are so calming, definitely gonna be revisiting this every now and then ❤❤❤

This definitely captures how ive been feeling last week perfectly. I had the worst stomachache for 2 days straight and it was really painful. Now that i think about it, i dont think this song actually captures the feeling. I would say "The ghost song" that plays in the game "It moves" captures the feeling more.

If I didn't close the door ableists would get me again

This is incredible, I'm sitting here after sobbing for a while, watching the sunrise and feeling more than I have in weeks. Thank you for making this.

i used to listen to this song on repeat for hours, this is such a beautiful animation for it and i love the character designs :D

I love this artstyle and it's just so beautiful that it feels like it would be perfect in an indie game with a small cult following and is somehow both comforting and a little disturbing at the same time

I’m so glad I found this video, it really resonates with me in a weird way! Thank you for making this

love your art style, its so unique!

I relate completely to this song. Amazing acoustic!! Deserves more views and likes.

this video hit incredibly close to home for me, it's been on the back of my mind for the past few days or so and every time it gets me really emotional thank you so much for your beautiful artwork

thank you for reminding me that im not alone struggling in this darkness sad not knowing why not knowing what's missing the void in my soul was filled for a second

The music,art style and the message are just perfect, continue with the great work!

Quoting MGMT "I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away"

I've closed that door for an eternity, and it might as well stay that way. Thank you, a truly beautiful animation and song. Love it. 120/10. Couldn't have done it better.

noooo this song made me think about things i dont want to think about and now im on the verge of crying

When you simply start living and stop seeking you will find it

Your artstyle is so pretty

i saw the title and i was like NO WAY THIS IS WHAT I THINK IT IS cuz I have this song on my playlist and i love it

great animation! super underated

I love the velvet Underground! Thank you for making this!!

I love the art and animation on this, its so good!

I welled up with emotion with how much i felt this song and the art portrayed Also, the character is precious i love the design so much

This was beautiful ❤

This song hits really close to home dear god Amazing work on the animation, its super pretty

This is literally so beautiful omfg

this is so well made and it hits vary close to home, but i think now it should be seen more as a cautionary tale, at least as someone who vary unexpectedly met one of the best people ever :) you dont always gotta shut people out

This is so gorgeous!! :

Gay mime, Gay mime, Gay mime. Guys laugh, why aren't you laughing? Where are you going?! No wait!

out of any velvet underground song, this has to be my favorite. it fits with whatever mood im in.

your art is truly gorgeous! i love this so much, you deserve so much more recognition!!

The colours are so incredible,, I love this sm

Reading through these comments while im alone feels so relaxing, like a nice quiet stroll in the park after a stressful day.

it feels like this video has to be watched in the dark and it really sets the mood right

this -is literally the plot of omori- such a haunting rendition. Love the character design. Very nice us of textures.

cool animation, bro, i thought about that someone will make some animation clip with it, and here we are - you are precisely put all spirit of song into all these frames, its better than original videoclip

if someone loves u even when you're wearing ur mime outfit (metaphorically speaking) then they're someone worth investing in (ps i hope ur doing okay

I like the little mime person :)

YOUR ART-STYLE IS SOOO GOOD???

this is a vibe, love it. good work 🙏

You're so talented

i love the velvet underground, and i love this animation!!!! so flippin fire

Great video and animation, I may relate to the character a lot, but they look like they could break out of it more than me, they seem to be liked to

Now way, I love this song! Fantastic work bringing it to life, never have I connected to anything so much as to a sad mime.

this is such a good animation, ur styles awesome!! i read the desc and i hope youre feeling better now, or if not, you do soon. because things do get better

Awesome! I really like the colours and your style :)]
