my mom saw this and texted me sorry, it really wasn't too late back then to learn violin, you sing beautifully Im cry now

Im crying 😭😭😭 this song and its message is so beautiful

“Stop thinking about the past and what could’ve been for hours and hours. It was unfair, I was there. I wish I could tell a younger me to forgive yourself for not starting, you would get there eventually.” THIS HIT ME HARD!

I really needed this. I'm in my mid twenties and I feel lost and clueless, trying to find some purpose but I feel everyone around me is moving on and finding something. My anxiety is beating me up but between talking to my parents and this, I am getting more energy to keep going. Thank you, Lily.

We were expecting to wait for Happy and then lily just drops one earlier

Oh lily I hope you're right. I cannot help but feel like it's already too late for me to find a dream to follow. A purpose to pursue. A lover to be with. I see all these people out there doing it earlier than me. It's nice to see you too believe that it's never too late to start

Always a pleasure Lily~ Everything came together beautifully 🤌

Literally how I feel being a Jack of All Trades kinda guy. I feel like I could have trained myself piano, or had dance classes, or be taught vocal lessons, or started painting early, or read more books. Now I'm just someone who can play nursery rhymes and some songs on a piano, can dance Zumba level choreos, has a "good enough" voice that comes and goes, can make "decent" unoriginal art, and can make stories in my head but doesn't know how usual books are written. I cry thinking of the multiverse and how my alternate selves are living my dream lives. But then I realize I'm 21. I'm still young. I will at least get one of my dreams someday.

Love the message that is being portrayed in this song. I think we can all agree that Lily has grown to an amazing person she is right now

The video animation, the lyrics, lily’s voice, everything is just so beautifully done

Went through cancer treatment, listened to your music the whole way through it and it made my life so much more bare-able, got through it, cancer free and in recovery now, I felt like I’d been robbed of years of my twenties where I had plans, but it meant a lot to hear that it’s not to late to do what I want. My whole life ahead of me >:)

Holy this spoke to my inner child. Literally tears down my face. Thank you Lily for making this!

Her music can really hit you deep in the heart

At the age of 26 I felt I had just started to live life. Everything before that was lived thru survival, fears, trauma response, and pleasing other people. Thanks Lily for reminding me It's not too late to cultivate the part of me that wants to create something. ❤️

The lyrics made me emotional ngl I had a dream I spent my childhood and teenage years doing it for hours and hours a day, and then I couldn’t even achieve anything bc I started a little too late… now I’ve been struggling to find a new purpose but I always feel I’m too late for everything, thanks Lily for the beautiful song

For those who want to sing along ''They say you'll never be a star That you started much too late To change your fate, I'm trying Though, I didn't start at eight I want to try something new I want to find a reason to I can still create something great And it's still not too late I wanted to play violin long ago But I wasn't four so my mom said no (said no) I could never be a child prodigy Ten years ago, I didn't plant a tree The future was something that I couldn't see If I had been a little faster I'd have a lot more skills I could master It's hard to say when you've lost the precious time of yesterday So many things you could learn You'll bloom just like a flower Stop thinking about the past and What could have been for hours and hours It was unfair, I was there I wish I could tell a younger me To forgive yourself for not starting You would get there eventually I can still create something great And it's still not too late''

"10 years ago i didn't plant a tree, the future was something that i couldn't see. If i had been a little faster, i'd have a lot more skills i could master. It's hard to say, when you've lost the precious time of yesterday". That was my favorite part of the song, it sounded so beautiful and heartwarming. Lily, i just want you to know that you are so talented and the way you sing is beautiful, your music videos on Comfi Beats are amazing and i love them. Keep up the good work, Lily ❤️

This song really hits hard, it feels like time passes so fast that there isn’t enough of it, but that’s just perception and in reality we have a lot of time. Thanks so much for all the music you’ve made, Lily, it’s really all amazing and has helping me through a lot

this got me teared up, this is exactly what I've been feeling like lately. I've been trying to pull myself up anyways thinking about the little things I like and this song did bring a smile to my face, the animation is amazing, your voice is beautiful and I hope you keep doing all the things you love, the feelings and emotions that you put in all of your songs is what makes them truly special, thank you lily we love you

I love the part on “I want find a reason too” at 0:18 cuz it’s very relatable and the way she sang this part added so much meaning and flavour 🥺💕. Also, that flow on “for hours and hours” at 1:12 adds soo much colour and flavour ❤️.

i'm so in love with this song, i think it's my favorite of lily's songs. the lyrics are written beautifully, the melody is also very pretty/nostalgic, and the animation... it also feels very personal. it's not even that relatable to myself it's just... very beautiful and touching.

"I wish I could tell a younger me" I don't know why, maybe it's because I'm going through a tough time rn but this sentence brought me to tears. I've always been thinking "I could be a better girl" ever since I was 14. If only I could tell those younger me that I was already such an amazing child, if only I could give them a hug and tell them that they're doing amazing, if only I could tell them how proud I am of them. So so much more

A second into the song and I started tearing up. The song connected to me on a level no other song has. Thank you lily so much.

As someone who is a slow learner and needed time to even understand simple things, felt this hard in my gut. I’ve always felt behind a lot of people. Even now, I think I’m not meeting the norms for people my age (even when I’m doing well). This song was a warm hug. Thanks Lily.

"10 years ago i didn't plant a tree, the future was something that i couldn't see. If i had been a little faster I'd have a lot more skills i could master" this line made me so freaking emotional even tho i am still 15 i feel like there's so much that i am missing out and i always feel the need to learn more things and have more skills and that i am never doing good enough thank you Lily for this beautiful song!!!

This hit me so hard. I've never felt like a song touched my soul before but here I am at well past midnight an autumn evening not knowing if I should cry or smile. This is so good and I love the message and how it conveys it. Thank you lily. I hope your doing well.

"I wish i could tell a younger me to forgive yourself for not starting, you will get there eventually" ... by the amount of goosebumps i understood that i needed this line way earlier. Thank you lily

The lyrics of this hit deep, I've been having thoughts like this more and more lately. "If only I had pursued (xyz) sooner, I'd be able to make something of it now" It's really de-motivating to think that way. But you're right, it's never too late, hopefully I can convince my brain of that fact. Lovely song!

MUSIC !

Yooooo she played this at the concert!! No wonder i hadn’t recognized it then lol. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL 😭👏

bruh im teary eyed. at the end when she said " i wish i could tell the younger me" i felt that.

This song hits me hard, sometimes we want life to go the way we want it ourselves. We’ve all had challenges in our lives and are even still going through it all. The line “stop thinking about the past and what could have been for hours and hours it was unfair I was there, I wish I could tell a younger me to forgive yourself for not starting you will get there eventually” is what got me the most. Back in my past, I always wanted to be perfect at everything since my family had high expectations for me growing up and even now. I learned that not everything will be perfect and that is okay because we are all human. Everyone goes at their own pace in life. This song really stood out to me and I hope that this message reaches to those that have been struggling or going through it. If you feel that you’re behind in life, you are not because everyone takes their time to achieve their own goals. I believe that you guys can do it and I am right with you guys, be yourself and don’t compare yourself to others. Once again, shout-out to Lily for leaving this beautiful message that this song brings.💜

how is such a simple song making me tear up? i couldnt choose what i was doing back then, i couldn't predict what im doing now. Right now im navigating high school with some of the best friends ive had in years, i have my 2 little sisters with me, im playing basketball for the school team and have d1 offers, and im on my way to becoming an engineering student at age 16. back then i was aspiring to become a professional basketball player as a little 10 year old kid, and i was beaten down by everyone at every corner. "You need to pick something more realistic" or "you're not good enough anyway." My parents told me that, my friends told me that, my teachers told me that, even my basketball coaches told me that. There was this one time that really stuck in my head, i was with my best friend and one of our teachers was comparing us. "Can (friend) make it to the NBA? Yes! Will (friend) make it to the NBA? Probably. Can Haroon make it to the NBA? Probably not. Will he make it to the NBA? Definitely not. that has stuck with me for 8 whole years, it hurt me that much, and look where i am now. all i want is to go back in time and tell that little kid to keep trying to make that jumpshot. thank you for reading stranger.

It's never too late. I'm learning new art skills, I'm learning to play the ukulele, I'm learning to play new kinds of games that I never thought I'd like or be good at and I'm not 4, or 8, or 20. It's never too late. Thank you for the beautiful song and the beautiful video!

I instantly cried hearing this song, cause this is what I feel right now even at this age. It reminds me of what I could have created years ago and I feel like it is sometimes too late to do what I want but this song tells me it's never too late no matter how old you are. Thank you Lily!!

YOOOO NEW SONG!?!?!?!?!?!? COULDNT BE PROUDER OF YOU LILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love when you made a song about starting what you love and you think its late but its its never to late to do the something you love

this song is exactly what I needed right now. I’m going into a new school with an art program. I’m starting color guard. I feel like everybody is ahead of me, everybody is better. I feel so much regret for the past. For not drawing more, not trying to sew more, not practicing color guard enough. In all these years I’ve wanted to do so much and yet I don’t have a single skill I’m good at. I wish I started everything earlier. It hurts so bad to know there are people younger than me who are so much better than me at everything. I feel so inspirers after listening to this. Thank you, Lily

My brother showed me this after I told him how stressed I was about wanting to study music. I really want to do it, but I always feel discouraged because I feel like I started way too late, and I'll never be good enough. Seeing people who are just better than be in not just music, but in school and everything else, it just makes me feel useless. I try, I really do, but I think like this a lot and it makes me forget how much time I really have, and that there is more than one way to achieve what I want to achieve. When my brother showed me this, it reminded me that I'm good enough. Thank you for sharing your story. This is something everyone seems to know, but something that everyone seems to forget too. Thank you for reminding us.

waaaaah I’m excited!!

This song hit so hard. I suffered some brain damage at 19 in a work accident and have been slowly become unable to care for my self because I can’t hold a regular job. I was so young, I have no secondary schooling or skills built up. I feel so much how this song describes losing time since I am turning 26 in a few months. It’s great to know others feel this way and I am not alone. Thank you for such a heartfelt and beautiful song as always Lilly!!! ❤️

This song made me realise something : we should all cherish the time we had, is not too late to start something u want to do / create something , stop thinking about the past and start thinking about the future Love the message through the song lily :)

I think one of the best thing ever to said to me is "late? you are never to late to follow what you want, it'll be late if you die without trying it, and you already did", in the art industry there is always this image of perfection, and this looming sense of preassure to be a perfectionist. I wish to to tell my younger self to never give up, that is my most common day dream, but to know that I'm where I am, not only because of luck, but also because I am capable enough... it keeps me moving. So go on, keep moving

Such a relatable song. Life is too short to complain about the past.. We really just gotta move forward and plant the seeds for our future.

I love this. I started going back to college at the age of 27 and I felt like a failure in life for not finishing sooner or on time. But this song is very comforting knowing there’s no time line when it comes to life. You can do things on your own time and that it’s never too late❤️

This is a belief that I've had a hard time putting into words. I've played clarinet for so many years now but I never took it seriously. Recently I realized how much I love music and I want to expand my horizon and learn new instruments, but it feels intimidating to try anything new. But I have come to learn that it's never too late to start trying, because the dedication you put in will make up for lost time. It doesn't matter if others have been doing it before you, this is your journey and you will learn as you go. I have also been trying my hand at violin recently, it's pretty fun.

This genuinely made me cry, I'm pretty young and I already know that things would be better if I start earlier But I can't help but feel down at times when I think about it, The questions like "What if I encounter someone better? Would they laugh? Try to destroy the thing I thought was great?" Or "Do I really have a future? Would I ever be successful? Would I be important? Have purpose?" Thinking about a role in the future still makes me break down sometimes, my classmates, friends, they all have dreams they want to fulfill and courses they want to take They all have a plan, but me? Nothing Well, not exactly.. it's just, I feel like the jobs they want to do are so beneficial to the world while I want to be something like a game programmer.. and I'm not even sure about that path because I'm not as confident in my technology skills anymore, I honestly just don't know what to do Everyone is asking me what do I want to be, yet I can't even give them an answer.. "should I just take a path that would normally be good to secure money or success?" Is also a question that rings in my head I don't want to worry anymore, I really want to be happy I hope one day, I can find what I'm looking for.. to have purpose, be something great to make my family proud, to find I was worth it Sorry for the rant, I don't usually rant anywhere but listening to this song unleashed the feels Tomorrow is another day right? Another day, to try..

LILY!! THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! YOU AND EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS DID AMAZING!! AHHHH

crying balling my eyes out right now. LILY THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL AHHHHHH

I'm crying, thank you for this message Lily, I really needed it, you are an inspiration! Thank you!

understanding that its not too late is such a huge change in life, there were times where i just sat there doing nothing complaining to myself that i lost so much time and its too late to do anything, but eventually i learned that its not to late to change and doing nothing to change and complaining is only going to waste more time, and now im happier than ever, thank you lily for making this song and i hope the people who are stuck thinking that they wasted their time, sees this video. go pick up those hobbies that you always wanted to pick up, you might be bad at it but eventually you will master it with time and practice. its never too late. edit: the thing that made me see that its not to late was seeing my dad starting to learn the guitar and seeing him slowly master it. he did not complain that its too late or anything, he said that he felt like learning the guitar, went to a music shop and bought a guitar and followed some youtube tutorials and he can play it pretty well now. that is what made me realise that i should in no way be complaining that i cant start anything now, the hobby i wanted to pick up was art, i eventually started drawing traditionally and got pretty good at it and got a drawing tablet, however i dont have much time to spend on art anymore due to university but i draw when i have off time after semesters. even if you are busy with school or university or work or any other activities you may have, you can atleast put one hour a week for this hobby. i dont know why im typing so much but i hope whoever is reading this. go do that thing that you want to do. go go go !!!

thank you, this came in the most perfect timing, this is the universe saying i should continue, and to you, thank you❤️

This has been one of my comfort songs at 3am when studying. The world revolves so fast that I had a hard time catching up and have less time for myself. This song really hit home for me. Someday i'll be able to learn piano and learn diff languages. Thanks for the song lily! :>

I have been crying everyday since I recieved my failed exam results that were so important. I've been feeling like I just don't have the potential my peers have and hating myself for months feeling like a complete failure. You can't imagine how much this song is comforting me T^T thank you Lily! I will try my best next time! It's not too late!

This song is honestly so beautiful. It makes me feel a little more inspired and a little calmer about my future. I too feel like I've wasted a lot of time in my life, but I'm starting to realize that you can actually change so much e.g. in a year and that there will always be more to life!

Thank you for this song. I'm a first year medical student and my final exam for the first year is in less than 2 weeks. Unlike my other classmates, I'm not smart or gifted at studying. I got Cs and Bs when i was in high school because I didnt want to study. Now, I'm having trouble catching up to everyone else because i dont have the habit of studying. I tend to blame myself for not trying harder when i was younger, but this song made me realise that i still have time to grow

damn I cried this hit too hard

This message should reach everyone of all ages, it’s so powerful

I'm trying to learn how to sing and I'm 26, I've always wanted to do it but because of too many reasons (and family not backing up my passions being a major one) I've never started it, and now I constantly feel like I cannot do it anymore 'cause it's too late and people starting at a young age are so naturally good at it and I'll never be even a tenth that good. This song speaks to me on so many levels. Thank you for this piece, Lily. It made me cry quicker that I've ever did in my whole life and made me feel completely understood for the first time in my life.

this made me tear up because im experiencing this right now. im currently 16, idk know my future, idk my purpose, i cant say im good at something. but i wanna do something different, something im very fond of and interested in. but i always think that im too late now, im not good at that thing because i didnt started out early nor i have the experience so. ive always discouraged myself because im not good enough. anyways yea, i love this song sm

I opened KZfaq in my car right after my shift at work today and listened to this and immediately started crying. I always am worried about the path that I've chosen and what could've been if I just did stuff sooner but this reminded me that it doesn't matter what part of life you are at. If you want to do something, do it!

thank you for this song. i'm still searching and fighting for my dreams, it's refreshing to hear someone tell you it's not too late.

AAAAAA IM SO EXCITED

I'm sure this will resonate in a lot of people's hearts

You know since I reached my 30's I'm a lot more tired these days and while I do have my own thing which is my dream it takes a lot out of me. I don't think my dream of reaching the heights I'm aiming for will ever happen, realistically people younger are just surpassing me to the point where I'm just doing what I'm doing not caring anymore if I still have a chance at my dream because I still love what I do. It's just amazing to have this song of all things, pop up on my page as the 1st thing I see when I open youtube, like a little push to tell me to keep going and I'm not just saying this at 2 in the morning but this really does speak to me. Thank you for the beautiful song Lily💕

I started tearing up at the end because I can deeply relate to this. But also because I'm trying to learn myself it's never too late to make dreams come true. I find you really inspiring through ur music and art Lily, so thank you for being my inspiration towards my own dreams 😭❤

This is great, it really hits hard to me as i always feel that my talents are lesser in comparison to people I know and how they've started at 2

Im just crying, i'm so proud of you and the way you can make us feel with the words (sometimes) we didn't know we wanted to hear thank you lily:)♡

I’ve always focused on programming because I used to love it Emphasis on *used to* I am having a hard time on choosing whether or not to continue pursuing it, but this sound really helps to make me see that if I do choose to stop programming, it’s not gonna be the Ned of the world

I’m 22 and most of my old high school friends are now graduating or have graduated from college and I’m going back as a freshman. Lily, you have no idea how much I needed this song! Thank you for being an inspiration 🤍🤍

I already know it's going to be an absolute banger 🎶🎵

lily u have once again out done urself, this is beautiful thank u ,, biTCH U GOT ME CRYINGGGG

this is the kind of thing that stays with you forever. it's so beautiful.

This hits different. For years I have grieved over missed opportunity that could’ve changed my life. Piano, art, language, I have missed all of those things when I was younger and that I regret completely. In my self sorrow, I didn’t try to change that fate. This truly does help.

Thank you, please add this to ur spotify as soon as you can! I really like your music.

The art is sooo good And this song had me in tears Keep it up lilly We proud 👏 🥲

Thank you, you were the one that inspired me to learn the Piano a few years ago and I'm pretty good now! I always thought I was too old so i got scared and never tried but you inspired me to try, so, thank you

Gosh Lily you made me cry , this song hit close to home . As someone who haven't achieve my dreams ever since I was a child I felt like there's a hope for me once again . because like you said That it's not too late . Thank you for bringing this beautiful melody in my life and make me believe in myself once again ^^

First time hearing this, wow this sounds so good and I love the message Second time: oh god this is so good, crying tears🥹

wahoo!

This video popped up just at the right moment, when I feel like a failure for not... being like everyone else. When I felt like, maybe it is too late for me... in so many different aspects. So thank you. I really needed that.

"it was unfair, I was there." this line comforted me so much, i felt seen. Most of the people around me always invalidate me whenever I say that line, tbh I don't even need them to agree with what I said, I just wanted to be comforted.

this is so beautiful and inspirational 😭 after a listen I feel like I might still be able to do something with my life 💖

AS AN ASPIRING ARTIST,, I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS SONG 😭🌸

I know you might not read this, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this song, seriously. Every single day I see all these people being passionate about something or the other that they like and seem to know what they want to do in the future. Amidst all of them, despite being constantly told that it's okay to not have your life figured out, I still feel like I'm not good enough for not having a special thing I want to excel in. I just like most things that I like, moderately. I want to do better in so many of them, yet each passing day makes me feel like more and more of a failure. This song gives me hope that I still have time, I can still do better, there is the present and future to work towards everything. That I will hopefully find a passion and a career I like. It tears me up everytime I listen to it and I always come back to it for comfort. I love all your songs and art so much, thank you for making them, and please take care of yourself. Love you

Gosh it’s my first day of college and I’m sitting in the middle of campus on a random table silently sobbing while a guy eating a pop tart across from me is looking at me like I’m da problem😭 but it’s beautiful and I hope and I will try. Thank u Lily❤️

wahooooo so proud lily :)

Lily, you truly are a huge inspiration to me. Been a fan for years and years. I remember when you first created Comfi Beats, and right off the bat you created beautiful bangers. I have been struggling lately, but no matter what, your content and music has never failed to make me smile/feel better. This new song in particular fr touched me. It is so beautiful and addresses the issues I am going through as well. Thank you for always being the kind, beautiful soul you're Lily!

I relate to this so much... Not only the overthinking about starting too late, but also the pressure asian parents put on their children because of love... 💜

this sounds like a disney animated ost 😭😭😭 LILY THIS IS SOOOOO PRETTY 💓💓💓

I relate to this song so much. I often think it’s too late for me to continue developing skills I started learning, and that it’s too late to learn something new, or that I’m too behind on finding what I want to do with my life and what career I’ll have. I feel like I’m so behind compared to everyone else I know and it hurts. Thank you for making this song Lily! I’m hoping for it to be on spotify soon too, thanks for the comfort. 💕

I know I'm just a random stranger on the internet so my words don't mean much, but I'm happy for you. This is a great song and made me cry. I feel very lost right now, and I'm stressing so much right now about my future. This song was able to give me comfort, so thank you

Im 18 and i already feel like im failing in life. Everything seems so lifeless. ALL my goals seem so far away. All I wanna do this the thing i love most art and creating content. Everybody doubts me. Nobody thinks I can make it in the real world, but I really wanna do it. I wanna go for dreams and just go for it. I want to have a purpose, but im scared if its too late. Maybe someday I can reach the stars :') thank u lily for inspiring to be true to myself

I will never understand how people could bash on Lily for, well, anything. Whether it's her voice or how open she is, something others get offended by so much, is what others love her for so deeply. They're just jealous of your amazing talent to captivate your audience's hearts. Having an aura that attracts emotionally competent people is such a beautiful sight. I purple you, Lily. Take care, drink your water and coffee forever more. Thank you for being an inspiration to so many people looking for a shred of hope and life. I am nearly crying now too. I love your work voice-acting Sayu! You're so talented, in so many things, I too wish to be like you. Thank you.

This is beautiful and so relatable omfg the lyrics hit really close to home. it just speaks really well about something every late bloomer has surely thought of at least once during the journey. NEVER TOO LATE TO START SOMETHING NEW

This song resonated with me alot. I didn't have a passion, and jumped from school to school alot. Until I finally found art, which was truly what I enjoyed doing. It's never to late to learn. Thank you

As a late creative this song touches my very soul.... i finally have bigger things on the horizon all because i started, not matter how old ive become....thank you for this lily

Ok I cried. Something I so much relate to, like I took taekwondo classes at 18 yrs old and I always get weird questions and looks coz all the trainees with me were kids or teens that started young, whilst I was already almost 20 and I still had that colorless belt. Another example too was when I first started to professionally learn how to draw at the age of 20, I was so happy and kept on posting my art in my social media accounts but then I fell inferior whenever I see other much better art on my feed from younger artists. I always felt like I'm late in doing all these and if I did it much earlier I would've been so much better at my age now. This is so beautifully made and tickled a part of my heart and I wish I could also say to my late bloomer self that I still have time and it's never too late. Thank you for the wondeful song lily

thank you for this song, I heard it for the first time today and cried all three times I let it play through. its been a bit hard and this really touched me
