people don't understand how much grief a person can walk around with, and still breathe.

Sometimes I sit in my room at night and play Keaton through my headphones at an unhealthy volume. It's what I need.

I understand why Keaton doesn't do interviews. Everything he sings is a beautiful insight to his heart. But I really do wish his fans would not pressure him into anything. Like the rest of us, he's human. If this is a message of the end, allow this to be the end. We've had a beautiful few years and everything comes to a close.

If you play the song in reverse you can hear "I'm just going outside and may be some time" repeated at the end (beginning when you reverse it). These are the final words of the antarctic explorer Capt Lawrence Oates as he left the tent. His death was seen as a self sacrifice because his ill health was compromising his three companions' chances of survival. I'm not sure what this means but, it's certainly interesting.

You're not human keaton, you're angel.. I'm speechless as always, your music makes me feel better, helps me in my depression. God bless you man

if this ends up being the end, i'm proud to say you'll be remembered for being one in a million. thank you. for all.

His songs peel back a layer of the most fragile corners of ones soul and rubs salt directly into the wounds, yet I come back everytime because it burns so good. He is something else.

Keatones music is not for everyone it is for those who truly deeply hurt... His lyrics are not just random words that don't fit and they don't make any sense they are poems that speak to your soul and body he is voice is not just a voice it is a voice of a man who has more passion than all of the big pop "singers" combaing

Here's to you Keaton. You helped all of us try to breathe with your music.

you know keaton henson must have an amazing soul when he is that sad but still chooses to live. an army of problems point their guns against him but his beautiful eyes that he sees with are still just too much to let go of. i hope those soldiers march away for you one by one bro, i really do, and that you are left staring at a sunset over the empty battlefield.

Here's to me I'm on the edge of my seat Bound to fall But I'm hoping you fall into me Here's to us Here's to the ties that I've cut Along the way Here's to the eyes that I've shut Here's to my soul Here's to the weight of my gold Here's to the words that I've sold Here's to the cold deep in my bones Here's to my door Here's to records that no one would pay for Songs that I wrote and got laid for Here's to the floor Here's to the floor Here's to my rent Here's to the money I've spent on Trying to do what I'm bent on Trying to breathe (inaudible)

Keaton, You have inspired me to write. You have verbalized my thoughts before I had them. You have forced me to think. Forced me to feel, in the best way. Thank you for everything, you are so important.

This guy sings exactly what my soul is trying to scream.

If he ends now I will cry knowing I will never get to see him live. But If it is the case then thank you soooo much, Keaton, for producing unparalleled masterpieces which will forever have a special place within me. Thank you!

I'm going to miss your music, your art, the way your lyrics touched​ my heart, the way you got into my soul, you have always made me cry, it's too bad that I never had the chance to see you live but it's ok I guess, cause your songs will remain in my memory. I will always, always, love you. Thanks for everything, you are one of a kind.

""Epilogue"" is the end of a book in french. Please, don't let the end come, Keaton.

So, this is the Epilogue. Be Kind. I'm afraid of what I'm thinking about. Take my lungs, break my heart. Just don't leave us. Let me cite one of your lyrics

I hope you will never stop making music.

Oh god..... i hadnt understood the song as a goodbye... I'm feeling so sad all of a sudden... I saw him live in february and i can say his concert was one of the most beautiful and trully felt experience of my life, he is an amazing artist but i can see how much this affects him. It is like a curse, loving what you do cuz it keeps you going and gives a meaning to your existence but at the same time kills you slowly. The beauty about art is that it is about feelings and meanings and human nature and trying to express in other ways what it is so hard to express with simple words, but how to do it in this empty and capitalistic world when the only important things are the rankings and the sellings... the meaning get lost half way and i'm sure he knows this... We are all cowards hiding behind his music, because he is not afraid to scream what we are so scared to whisper... Why are we so afraid of feelings? of being vulnerable? of being weak? of asking and giving love? of being sad? what are we so scared of?...... Keaton, you are a beautiful soul, so deep as to drown in yourself, but you know we are not, we are the surface. so you sing it to us in raw words, just to see if maybe, just maybe it will get to us... so we don't have to guess or read between lines... This is my cry to you, stay... stay a little longer, keep on singing all our feelings with your simple words so we wont feel alone, so we wont feel like we are the only ones. keep on filling our hearts with your "and's" and "the's". Grow up with us Keaton.

You are out of this world.

Keaton henson,how you can have such beautiful soul?

Keaton seems like such an interesting guy, he has so many thoughts and feelings, and he puts them into songs and poetry and art and makes some kind of mishmash story, and it's a story I never want to stop reading. I think I care about this guy, he's honest with what he does and what he created is always beautiful, he may have made mistakes or done things he shouldn't have but he's a great guy really, I think his honesty is extremely brave

The man himself stirs up the pot of emotions again. Beautiful Keaton

If this is the last song I hear from yours, i'm glad its one that brings me back to the beginning. It's beautiful and resonates as deeply as the first songs I heard so many years ago and I still constantly come back and listen to when i'm having a rough time. Your music has filled my mind in my darkest times and danced with me during my downfalls. I hope this isnt the last of you, but if it is I loved everything you have done.

keaton has helped me in my life in so many ways that I could never repay him. the line about writhing songs and getting laid for them is what's happened to me. writhing songs for loves in my life then losing them in different ways then being left with just the art iv made at the end of the day. keaton understands so much. he feels love and emotions on a deep level like alot of us do. I love him for that.

Thank you, for all these years. For making me feel less alone in this world. Wherever you go, take care of yourself. I won't forget you, I promise.

Keaton, please don't leave us.

Why does this feel like a goodbye? Please don't leave us Keaton!

They say you must be HAPPY and always think positive but I say you can be happy listening to SAD songs too. It's just another way of releasing the sorrow, the pain, the grief...the tears.When I listen to his music I feel sad , happy and relieved in the same time.

liked it before I even saw it, because I know everything Keaton creates is a masterpiece.

please don't go, Keaton.. :( Amongst all ur fans u no how much ur music means to us. However...if u're unhappy, if this is what you truly desire then I wish you well...we love you and wish you the best :) thank you Keaton sincerely always will be, a fan

Keaton is such an incredibly underrated artist

This is a piece of pure art.

I love his music videos, because they are not extravagant, they are real life. There isn't crazy edits and transitions in life, it's just stillness with briefs moments of living.

Here's to you, a living masterpiece... Your music never fails to move my soul

and here i am completely paralyzed for 6 minutes and 15 seconds. So beautiful

I swear to god this man is an angel. One of my all time favorite artists.

thank you for existing. my existence feels better with yours.

I discovered Keaton just yesterday and I binged all his songs and music videos and I instantly fell in love with his artistic poetic phrases and beautiful melodies and harmonies , he is unbelievably talented and his music resonates so much of my life, his music sonically made me feel. Also , I read comments and they say since this is his Epilogue this could be the end. ✨ I really wish Keaton makes more music in future but for now I'd love for him to live. 💜

Artists like you make me want to listen to music forever and ever. This song and this whole entire universe is so beautiful. I hope i can make music as amazing as you can, Keaton.

And yes finally we realized that this song wasn’t the end of your music.. but the end of your old self.. something in you changed Keaton and you just impressed us with both of your old and new self.. please stay safe and keep making music, you’re the reason of keeping some us alive.

another secret message at the end. you sly guy. what ever you are to bring out next -please release it on vinyl. its just so perfect.

It's 7am and I wasn't prepared for this

Your existence in this world is a gift, Keaton. Thank you. Thank you for making me feel. Thank you for touching my soul with your music. Thank you.

This man's storytelling is pure genius.

KEATON, once again. THANK YOU!!! 🙏🏽❤please don't ever stop making art & music. The world is a better place for having your artistry in it. Humbly thank you.

I love you, Keaton.

I'll always love his music. everything he writes is so beatiful, I can relate to every song and It feels like every song could have been write about my life.

That sad song is dedicated to you, you & you who have been hurt for love. May you find an angel to sweep you off your feet & comfort you........

absolutely amazing, such a good artist, he never dissapoints

I'm glad you are still showing us the music you make, Keaton. I will love you and your songs to the end. You are forever in my heart.

In case you ever get to see this: Thank you for everything, our very dear Keaton Henson.

Dude, you describe every and each part of people's path. You're simply amazing and I'm so thankful to hear so many great songs, your art will take a lifetime to be understood, thank you, deeply!

YOU ARE MY FAV ARTIST. I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO KEATON ❤

Every song I hear from Keaton Henson I love soo much and I can listen to them all day... I like the little alterations to "trying to breathe", it gives a nice effect. Good job Keaton Henson :)

Here's to Keaton, thank you so much for your art. ♡

Thank you for the music, for the art, for the emotion, for you.

Keaton, you've been my favorite musician since I first discovered Birthdays on Spotify. Your music is the realest and rawest thing I've ever heard and you articulate emotions that exist but we don't have one perfect name for them. Thank you for all of the work you've put out into the world. You've demonstrated that songs don't have to be straightforward or commonly relatable to be beautiful and understood. You are an incredible artist. That being said, do whats best for you, because you've helped so many of us be happier people and you certainly deserve to finally be happy yourself. Much love.

OH MY GOD YES

I love you keaton!!!!!!!

During this shoot, its simplicity makes me feel very sentimentally excited about what happens during my life.

Eu estou me apaixonando gradativamente por tudo que esse homem produz, e é inacreditável pensar que é possível se identificar tanto com as palavras de outra pessoa. Eu me vejo em cada uma dessas músicas, me sinto grata por elas existirem, fico feliz só por ele existir.

His voice resonates through my ears and squeezes the pieces of my already broken heart. I am truly amazed by every single piece of art Keaton Henson creates. Breakups suck, but something about Keaton's Henson's perfectly sung lyrics give me a sense of..hope, in a tragic way.

I don't know what emotion this song made me feel, but I like it.

What a treasure you are. Music today is blessed for such a talented person as you. I wish you could get more attention so more people could see you and find that peace you can provide. My best wishes for you. Thanks, Keaton.

thank you keaton, just thank you

So happy to see him and here this song. He is a gifted man, but his pain registers loudly through his art. I pray he knows how beautiful he his and continues to touch many. I can listen to his songs all day. He's so much more than his artwork.❤

thank you, keaton, for sharing your masterpieces with us xx

Pressed like before watching because i know keaton always makes good music

I really hope this isn't the end of him making music...I'll buy his music

no matter what,keaton henson never fails to make me cry

Keaton, you have no idea who I am, nor will you ever probably know.. However you have honestly helped me through some of the toughest times in my life so far.. Your music resonates with something inside me not even science can fathom. On the days I cant get out of bed, where I can barely breathe.. your music is a breath of fresh air, almost like an asthma inhaler, somewhat like these pills doctors force down your throat to keep living in this seemingly meaningless world. Expect the feelings your music provokes in me are true, unlike all these other masks we are forced to wear.. I hope you know, the impact your music and you as a whole have on so many of us who are struggling with so many diverse issues.. Honestly, whenever I see something new from you, it makes me jump up a little, feel a bit more alive in this sadistic world we live in. You are a voice for so many that have no voice, or are to afraid to express it. I hope you continue to make music, to express yourself with us all, but I understand if you cannot.

I'm crying rn and I don't even know what about. He makes me feel things so strongly. No words for this beauty.

"I'm just going outside. I may be some time" This is what he says in reverse around 5:10. From what I can discern these are the last words of someone named "Lawrence Oates". He was on an expedition on the Ross ice shelf in Antarctica with several other people. Fate had deemed that many of them died, Lawrence being one of the more unfortunate. Finding himself riddled with gangreen and frost bite he realized that in his state he was a liability and detriment to his friends and their chances of survival. He made a final decision to walk out of his tent to certain death in the icy winds. "I'm just going outside. I may be some time." Lawrence knew his chances of survival were low. He also understood that leaving would raise the odds, if even slightly, for those he cared for. So he left, and to make sure no one worried he lied. Goodbye Keaton We love you We forgive you We won't forget you

Keaton’s music makes me feel really independent when I’m sad or angry and feel like I need someone to help me. After listening to him I feel like I can carry on alone.

hey, is it only me wondering if Keaton will ever read some of our comments? If he will I would love to say him that we love him! ❤ and his music can change something in our lives and that's the real power of his sensibility.

I identify with your music because it's full of emotions really difficult to express, in my particular case I have a broken heart since a few months waiting that all the love that I know I can give someday it will be received and accept again and, maybe those days where the life was more beautiful come back to me and finally I can leave behind all this sadness and emptiness that I feel in this present. When I listen your music is like if someone understand this tortuous path and translate it in each musical note. Keep going, this is not a goodbye, all of us need you, your music is very special.

Omg, your eyes says everything... I hope this doesn't mean the end of your career. Your music is sublime Keaton, don´t leave.

Moments in silence speak louder than the words we can form.

Just ended a relationship with someone I truly loved and have been trying to pick up the pieces. I've been an emotional wreck this week and this song somehow makes me feel more at peace? Thank you, Keaton.

So happy to hear him again 😌💕

This is my first time hearing Keaton and I got that strange (but good) heart feeling

god bless you Keaton ur so amazing

my goodness. words cannot explain the love I have for this man and his words. thank you for everything you've done for me

your music makes me so.. so at peace, ya know? im so happy. i love you!

Can't wait to be the person who gives this song 75% of it's views.

Usually new Keaton tracks take a while to grow on me, and they typically do so much that I listen to frequently. This track clicked immediately. It is very powerful on all fronts. The best component is how it seems to mix compositional and production elements from much of his past works. So soothing and melancholy. I don't see how this could be the end, he stills needs to come back to NYC :)

This guy deserves the world.

i just recently got into keaton henson's music and it has changed me.. he has brought change to my life. in an incredible way. beautiful language and messages in your music as well as an amazing voice. thank you for the music and feelings you have brought to us all.

today is my birthday, what a wonderful gift! I really appreciated your art, Keaton. Please, continue. 💌

But Keaton we are just getting started, please don't let it end here.

if this is your goodbye keaeton, thank you for your openness and poetry. it would be impossible to forget you.

Before I knew of Olafur Arnalds I listened to Keaton Henson to help channel the more somber and graceful aspects of my musical soul. I would love to see these 2 men collaborate. They live on similar musical planes IMO.

Amazing piece of art. The deepness of this is really beyond comprehension. Thank you.

Immensely painful, equally beautiful.

so beautiful!! ♥ I saw the notification and I freaked out! amazing work, and at the end "be kind"... just beautiful

I am blooming from the wound where I once bled.

Yes.. ♡

This is so heartbreakingly beautiful. Keaton, you are an artist.

Theres so much to say but i cant find the words. I thank you for your existence. At 3am your words your voice, they're the warmth that i will be forever grateful for. I hope the best for you. If this is the end, know that its such a beautiful one. Just like the first song i heard of you. Thank you, heres to you.
