'Meant To Stay Hid' is a personal song about loss. It’s that tangible and uncomfortable whole-body feeling that someone is gone. It’s the reality that our memory of them will fade and change. But it’s also the beautiful, yet unreasonable, hope that we will be with them again.

Your voice always makes me feel emotions that I didnt know existed

I can already see this masterpiece being used in movie

This song dropped during a moment in my life where that phrase, "I wasn't built for this", has become very prominent. I recently turned 21 and among the many, many things that haunt my soul every day, one of them is the death of my father. It happened when I was 13 but it wasn't until recently that it has truly hit me. Thank you for this, SYML. Your voice and music are my therapy during these troubling times.

I cant believe how this guy is not BIG yet.... he is soo amazing

Don't you just love this side of KZfaq?

Wait. SYML only has 64k subscribers? I thought he had at least a million. People are sleeping on this art

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

On my worst days, when I don't want to feel, you and your music always show me that it's okay to feel. This October will be five years since my mother passed, and this song was something I needed. Thank you.

One more day. A desperate call for a little more than we can ever have. One more day. As if one more day would ever be enough.

💔 The echoing melody within the chambers of heartache 💔

❤"....leaves me emptier than the room where you stayed." That's how I felt cleaning my daughter's room after she was gone.

honestly, i wish my soul was made to music and this is it IM IN LOVE WITH YOUR MUSIC THATS ALL.

My dad took his life and this song hit a spot in my heart I forgot wasn’t healed yet .

This is such a beautiful song. Yes the emergence of these feelings are restorative in their yearning. I am so grateful for your beautiful heartfelt songs. Losing someone is tragic and yet too their ongoing presence in our minds is graceful.

I relate to this so much. In the second verse, when he describes seeing notes of secret fears, I instantly thought back to my mom. My dad died a couple years ago, and one day, I had walked into the room, and read a page from my mom’s diary. It was her writing to my dad as if he was there, telling him I was being so distant and emotionless. That she was clueless and scared for me. I hope she doesn’t see that part of me any more. I went back to that room and instead looked for something that belonged to my dad. I found his binder of self-written songs, most of them about wanting to know what heaven was like, and just how beautiful my mom was. I love them both to death. I don’t think a part of me was ever able to move on from that day.

So beautiful. You manage to release music that saves my life over and over again every time I am at my lowest 💕 Thank you every day

Is am the only selfish one ? Who don't want some songs to get famous because i just want to keep some masterpiece to myself ❤️

I lost the closest person in my life recently, and the first man I ever loved a year ago. And this song just touches a part of my soul that hasn't been touched in a long time. I don't know how, but you really get it. Thank you.

I just spent the past half hour in tears listening to this over and over again. Divorce sucks, and my two daughters are no longer near me. They are not gone from this earth, but this song for some reason makes me think of them as if I lost them. it also reminded me that they are still here and that I can still be the best Dad

This song practically saved my life. I'm going through some pretty rough times right now and started thinking about taking my life. I was searching through spotify to create a "feelings playlist" and I came across this song. As I listened to it, a whole entire story formed in my head of what would happen the day after if I actually took my life. As I listened to the super-strong chorus (after the wind-chimey sounds), I imagined all of my friends and teachers gathered in the school auditorium, just being told about my loss. I imagined them bawling crying, grieving, and almost erupting in anger and grief. This song stopped any further thoughts right away and made me realize I had so many people to live for. So thank you a million times for writing such amazing songs. In fact, I took that moment I imagined and combined it with a story I had been writing (based on my current life) and I'm now inspired to write a whole movie (including a bunch more of your songs in it). So thank you for giving me inspiration, and much longer life, I can't thank you enough! And keep on songwriting, your songs are so amazing!

This is pure art. I was taking a walk at dusk when I first heard this song. And I found the peace in this cold world. Thank you for making music for us!

I feel like in sitting back in the car going to beach watching sunsets down.

it’s in the darkest of times in which you grow the most. 🌪

My heart breaks with this song! Never heard anything like this! Enchanting from all angle.

I don’t know where I found this song but I’ve been listening to it non stop and recently I just read the lyrics and figured out the true meaning of it and man I needed this so much. My grandma passed away About a month ago and I’ve been lost ever since then. I just feel numb and I’ve been holding in all my emotions because I don’t have many people to confide in but now this song has a different meaning and it’s a special one

Transcendent..thank you. ❤

Dang. This is so beautiful I just lay in bed listening to it and crying for an emotion I didn’t know could exist.

قلبي لا يمكنه أن يكون مخلصا لوقت طويل

as a 22 years old SYRIAN girl , i needed to hear this so much , so many people i know or love died before the war ended and my brother was on of them so thank you SYML for this its always good to feel that someone is feeling you

Brought me to sobbing tears. Made me think about my daughter who took off 6 months ago...with a drug addict, and has been living on the streets of Baltimore since. Actually, I don't know where she is now. Hasn't reached out in months and won't come back 😢 I'm scared to death, because I know what the outcome could be...because of the drug she's using...and I miss her so much that it feels like theres a hole inside me.

Tears rolled down my face. This hit to my core; absolutely incredible and you're not alone my friend💐💐❤❤

It's like am invisible, everyone just looks through me, like I don't even exist, like they don't even seen me.🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾

I wasn't built for this My head can't make any damn sense of this so it sings Can't remember the smell and I Can't recall the taste but I try everyday If I wasn't so afraid I'd shine a light up to space Then my soul could be Strong enough to see your face One more day One more day I found notes that you hid Sharing secrets and fears that were meant to stay hid Moving stuff out your room Leaves me emptier than the room where you stayed If I wasn't so afraid I'd shine a light up to space Then my soul could be Strong enough to see your face Give me one more day One more day And if I wasn't so afraid I'd shine a light up to space Then my soul could be Strong enough to see your face One more day

I like songs like this they dont force you into a rhythm. They have a lyrical singer over a rhythm on an instrument that's kind of holding the piece together. In the moods I get in I dont like to feel a rhythm so directly like some pop music would do or even classical music would do. But with this the rhythm aids in the beauty of the singers music so it really is good for the mood I get in some times. Songs like this that let you feel the music how you want to I like a lot. It's just a type of music that's really enjoyable bc you dont have to focus on either the melody or the rhythm of the piano or any other part and it's easy to listen to.

This song is both beautiful and sad. Not many songs make me tear up but wow. You are and amazing artist! ❤❤❤

The. Four right chords can make anyone cry

This song is beautiful and made me cry

This song makes me miss my great grandparents. I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you passed.

I just lost my Mom, and I dreamt of her Spirit behind a doorway I could not enter.. Suddenly I filled with immense peace.. When the same flowers featured in this song, about 100 of them flew passed the doorway, stems and leaves included. Last night, we were watching the movie ' Go' on Netflix.. I could hear this song.. I Google it and I was in shock... The same flowers.. A song about grief.. And loss. Co-incidence? I think not! Thank you for this amazing form release... God bless you❤️

I love really love SYML music

Was watching Virgin River S2E5, missed the lead in that identified the song. Thought it sounded like Cold Play, so googled a line and found this. Amazingly beautiful song and lyrics. Had to stop and listen to the full version more than once. Subscribing hoping to hear more.

There is hope we will see them one day, if we are saved. I can’t imagine not having that hope.

I lost my brother to suicide this past January and recently stumbled across this song last week from Pandora. It’s one of the songs I listen to during those sleepless nights. Thank you for writing this song, and now that I know the meaning behind it, I appreciate it even more ❤️ I wasn’t able to attend your concert in Columbus, but I hope I’ll be able to go to one soon. Thank you again, Brian.

Pure melancholy. And i love it so so much ❤❤❤

I have not seen my kids for 9 years now.i scream my heart out and cry a river listening to this song. I love this part if i wasnt so afraid i'd shine a light up to space then my soul could be strong enough to see your face one more day.

Expressing missing my beloved deary Darling❤ who passed away one year ago😥... Love your voice and melancholic melody though Perfect tunes🎶💕, thanks so much!

I always feel like I'm flying whenever I hear your songs/your music in general 💖.

Your voice is like my heart healing in a emotional way

it’s been a while since a song has made me feel this much. there’s something really spectacular about your music! i remember discovering ”where’s my love” in 2017 when i was in the darkest and loneliest place i’ve ever been and that song gave me so much comfort. now i’m going through change, having to leave people behind and making decisions for myself and it’s scary and i have to be brave. this song once again makes me feel a little more at home. thank you for your music and giving people what might be just what they need in a moment. excited to see all the things you make in the future ❤️

Your songs are so emotional...

Just beautiful

Your soul and heart are beautiful ...

Take me a long hour to find this song.. Go kart movie is great 🔥

My God I love you!!!
