this makes me wanna cry tbh john sadden

I really liked the part where they went “buh”

This is unironically the ONLY cover of fallen down I've heard that maintains the feel of the original. Great job.

i remember a comment of an russian soldier who said that this song kept him up in the cold forest night patrol. he went on to thank the person who made this song and he apologized if he made any errors in his english. a very kind man. i hope hes well and kicking

These astronauts' voices are oddly soothing.

This isn't an AU. This is an AEIOU.

So I'd like to tell a little story if you care to read. I was in a bad place mentally after college and was bouncing between jobs. I landed a job at a papermill and was working 48-52+ hrs a week on a sort of swing shift schedule (hard to remember those details). It was rough, I had no weekends off and couldn't see my friends/family and I was just alone. I had no time to read, play games or do anything art related and it sent me into the dark. Depression hit super hard like a brick to the face and I just spiraled downwards to the point where I was just in a pit of despair. It was a rainy winters day for me and I just got done shoveling coal from under a conveyor belt and was black from head to toe in coal sludge and dust. I was cold, wet and done with life. I broke down and absolutely wept. I had been listening to KZfaq on my broken headphones and this song came on. I heard the moonbase alpha voice/fallen down and it made me do a 360 in my head. It quickly turned from me crying in the cold to laughing in a coal tunnel that echoed as I tried to hold it back. That was the moment for me, just me listening to a funny little song in a dark coal tunnel. I'm better now, so much better. I work in IT for a hospital, I have time off to spend time with family/friends and I can finally draw again, which fills my heart with joy. To anyone going through a rough patch, please hold on you can do it. Please cry, it's okay to cry and be sad but you have to be strong and keep going. Shits tough but you're tougher and that's a fact, even when the world seems against you. Remember "Despite everything, it's still you."

Did anyone else get chills while listening to this? I rarely get them but today I felt them.. this song is incredible

This makes me feel a feeling that doesn’t exist.

A lost astronaut begins to visually and auditorily hallucinate due to oxygen deprivation, this is the result.

It kills me that this version of the song has in my opinion the best bass of any version of this song, it just feels much more like its own solid voice here than any other rendition I’ve heard (specifically referring to the entrances at 0:28 and 1:26).

This song reminds me of the happier times, and unreplaceable memories of when it wasn't today. With the pandemic and all, this song is the filler of the hole inside my heart to stop it from sinking to the depths of my mind. It makes me feel happy, and sad at the same time, like it makes me happy to reminisce on the few moments where I'm actually, happy, but makes me sad because, you can't relive the same moment twice. I want to grab a time machine and go back to the more simpler times, instead of living in the scrambled mess we call now. The constant laughter ringing in my mind, shows that one small moment can stick with you for the rest of your life. This song is what keeps me going today. Its ambience, and simplicity is what makes this masterpiece a work of art. I know I will make more memories in the future, but the future isn't today. *_You never really miss a moment, until it becomes a memory_* - Someone on Reddit

POV: You're Toriel and you just adopted an astronaut quartet.

It's trying to sound funny but it still sounds so sad

this video came out 1 month after undertale's official release 💀

2 years was passed, and I come back here......

“What a terrible creature, torturing such a poor innocent youth... Ah, do not be afraid, my child. I am *JOHN MADDEN,* caretaker of the ruins.”

*"Wait, it's all Toriel?"* *"Always has been, my child.."*

This song makes me feel stuff that is so hard to put into words. The only thing that I could use to describe it is "existential". It doesn't remind me of happy memories or reminisce the past, instead it reminds me of a very strange feeling when I was a child. A feeling you get when questioning reality. The feeling of seeking a place that does not exist; a place that is neither out there or in any where. A comforting existential dread, if that makes any sense.

My reaction to that information:

This song will lead a second generation of armed forces

Probably my comment will get lost in the pile of others, but still. I’m a sergeant of Russian army. I stumbled upon this video for the first time just before I was assigned for long-range patrols. It was a cold winter. My night patrols were tough - snow, cold weather, lack of sleep. I was alone. I just had a rifle, a couple of magazines and cigarettes. And, to be honest, sometimes I was scared. Noone would want to go alone to patrol a shooting range, that’s surrounded by the forest full of wolves. However, the nights were beautiful. I could see many stars. And I don’t know why, but this song got stuck in my head somehow. It kept me awake. It warmed my heart, and maybe because of that, it kept me alive. You don’t want to become a food for a beast just because you fell asleep. And now, I stumble upon this video again two years later. That brought back feelings from the past. And I want to say - thank you, friend. P.S. Sorry for bad English. When I become emotional, I can make mistakes. Upd: I didn’t expect that my comment would be so popular, really. Thank you everyone for your kind words, I really appreciate it.

This astronaut is already dying, That is the reason why he can see Toriel, he is reunited with his most precious memory.

We may be different people with different ideals and beliefs but when this song plays it stirs a feeling deep inside of us. The world is so divided yet, such a simple combination of sound waves at different frequencies makes us feel the same. Maybe it isn’t about a single one of us but something more. It might be about all of us. All of us have forgotten but, we cannot miss what we don’t remember. So, we go on and the melody continues.

Props to the uploader for still checking the comments 5 years later

4 years ago: Smooth Mcgroove? 2020: AMONG US? AMONG US??

This was 8 years ago????? I feel old

Please release this on streaming platforms. It’s so beautiful and I can’t get enough of it!

2015: A beautiful melody that can give you tons of emotions. 2022: “Dude I just reacted to this information online and now I can’t stop dancing and smiling.”

I want to die listening to this song...the culmination of all my life's efforts meeting an excruciating end in a dark abyss, helplessly falling as I begin to fade away.

Oh. So this is why your channel has been suggested to me. I know this is an ancient video by internet standards but thank you. This is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time because it's just so soothing. I've been using it a fair bit to get through panic attacks lately

when I normally find a song that has a deeper meaning about life and death, I would normally stay awake the entire night, hoping not to die, but in this, I felt different. I slept so easily, knowing that there will be someone to take you away when you die, no matter what religion. It reminds me of the time I almost got hit by a car, and I had a flashback of my life, especially with my brother, as well as with my family. It just goes to show that life is like balancing on a thin line, and if you fall, than you fall into a pit of death, but the only way to enjoy life is to accept death, since you will never be able to enjoy anything if you were to always fear death and spend you entire life worrying about, and then when you die, you will regret never being able to enjoy anything. Moral of the story, accept death, and maybe, just maybe, SCP-4999 or Toriel will be there to take us away.

Imagine an Undertale AU in which a quartet of space astronauts falls down instead of Frisk And they perform a capella arrangements of all the songs in the game where they play instead of talking to everyone They progress through the underground by singing to their enemies until they are so dazzled they can no longer fight

I think the real strengths of this TTS is that it essentially can speak at any frequency, allowing it to do the detuned theme of Fallen Down very well. Technically, you can't properly play Fallen Down on a normal piano.

The nostalgic jams fill you with determination ❤Save Cancel

hearing this song fills you with DETERMINATION ❤🧡💛💚💜💙

There are two kinds of people who watch this video: 1) Those that watch this, say "Oh." and walk away. And 2) Those that watch this, say "Oh." and watch it 5 more times. holy shit this comment blew up lol

This song isn't a meme. It's art and it deserves WAY more attention.

The last thing he saw before dying without oxygen...

this gives me both comfort and emptiness, felt like nostalgia, like the astronauts trying to remember their past good times while a huge disaster is happening and they're left alone

Oh god.. Imagine Death by Glamour or Metal Crusher sung by this....

is it just me or does this actually sound really nice and relaxing lol

this song reminds me of the original days of undertale, no cringe fandoms, no shipping characters, no au's. just pure indie game greatness, and that lights a warmth in my heart that can only ignite if i think of the good old days.

This song has never failed to give me chills every. single. time that I listen to this, so good.

Toriel: Do you like butterscotch or cinnamon? Astronaught: *ooooaaaaah*

I remember watching it the day it was released, now seeing everyone come to it from a silly meme really warms the cochals of my heart

8 years later and I still can't get over this song

2023 .. and I still come back to this song.. for some it's just a meme .. but for me it is a memory of good times ~ times when everything was easy, fun and enjoyable without all the deadlines and burdens on your shoulder

I really can't stop smiling watching this. The astronaut reaching out kills me, I feel their longing for goatmom.

This song is only more somber through the TTS. It becomes eerie and sad. It doesn't feel like a meme anymore. It feels more emotional than just a spaceman joke. I hope our text-synth spacemen are doing well, no matter how fictional.

This song seriously makes me feel like I'm flying in a void of endless happiness but also sadness but there's no problem and it's only happy memories😊

I could listen to this for HOURS and not get bored, this video is really calming and comforting for some reason.

I saw a comment on this video a few years back, a comment from a Russian soldier who admitted this song kept him sane on those cold, starry nights on guard duty alone, hoping there were no wolves around. For some reason that story stuck with me. Dude could barely speak my language but had every bit of a human connection to music as me. You forget how similar we all are in the end.

This makes me want to cry.

8 years....

This song makes me feel like it’s the end of the world, and everything is on flame, and I see and hear people dying but I’m being comforted by my favourite people as we watch the end happen and wait for our demises.

“Wait, its all Toriel?” “Always has been”

my reaction to that information:

This music just hits different. It it the most random thing to pop up in my feed and I love it.

This hits harder when you realize it was made 4 years ago....

Why is so damn emotional, why am I feeling sad watching this

people when normal fallen down: "eh okay" people when fallen down but it goes "bababa": "This song is art. It deserves so much attention. It is literally the best thing every created."

the amount of nostalgia in this song is actually insane

This cover sounds really amazing, can't believe this is possible with a TTS engine lol, this really is the information to my reaction to

Steve the astronaut spent his whole life searching for life in the cosmos. One fateful day, Steve cable cord disconnects from the shuttle. There is nothing he can do. Steve drifts for hours. With little oxygen left in his tank, the astronaut begins to fall out. Perhaps it was a hallucination, or the thing Steve has been searching for his whole life, but he could’ve sworn he saw a figure, smiling back at him. He blacks out. Steve wonders. What happens after death? Was his life for nothing? He ponders this for an extensive amount of time in his dream state. The astronaut, exhausted, wakes up, in a yellow batch of flowers.

The background harmonization really pulls this together.

People when fallen down: eh its aight People when fallen down but the notes are ba: I can't seem to stop coming back to this video. The singing of the iconic TTS robot fills a hole in my heart that I didn't know existed, and as the chorus rings out and reverberates against the walls of the narrow corridor of our lives, we all seem to stop and stare into space. The immaculate hymn and hum that what was once sung by angels and far dead souls of our world is given a rebirth. The previously lifeless robotic voice is given a brief sentience, that sentience being this song. Now, my brothers and my sisters, even though we may not be related, we are ever more close than ever as we listen to this song. This song summons a far distant and forgotten memory within all of us. Even though we may not be given the chance to properly remember it, we remember it in spirit. The long gone angels and far forgotten peoples whose names are forgotten, they all come together one last time to sing this song. The dead and dying gods smile and sing along as this song continues to be sang out. But for those who still breath the air on our earth, we aren't forgotten. We are there too, singing song and having joyus chorus. We sing in the choir of gods creations. Even though we may not realize it, our flaws and imperfections add to the choir, they make us who we are, and what we are is perfectly imperfect. A tear is shed for those who cannot remember, and for those who won't. But for those out there, contemplating on ending their own life, think twice my long distant friend. Even though it seems like your alone, you aren't. I've had my fair share of tears shed, and I've had my fair share of biases and flaws, I've had my fair share of controversy and my fair share of fun. I've made friends and lost them, I've gained trust and lost it. But something I won't lose is my memory of this song. As we all stand, dead and alive, I start taking my final breaths. But as my terminal breath draws near, I think of this song, and suddenly, death isn't so bad. Even though I shall die, I shall also join in the broken and fractured chorus that is this song. I wish you all a happy life, I know I had mine.

no joke the base voice is sexy

Lyrics: BABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABABA

It’s eerie yet soothing. I love this song.

This song is so nostalgic yet sad The scenery is so beautiful it makes me want to cry just the yellow stars with the humming just hits different I oddly feel happy too and there's just memories flashing back and in conclusion, this Is a masterpiece

тоска [toska] is russian and its a unique word. It describes everything you can feel in between wanderlust, sadness, nostalgia, melancholy. For me, it's that peaceful feeling you might get when you look up to the stars at night. Thats what i feel here.

I loved when he said "ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba baaa baaa baa ba ba ba ba", truly inspiring and heartwarming.

my reaction to that information...

i genuinely feel at home when i hear this because of the nostalgia it brings me.

The wire the wire THE FUCKING WIRE- He's lost. He has no idea where he is anymore. The void expands into infinity. He floats. Drifts. Emptiness. His ship was hit by a stray asteroid, so he'd gone outside to repair it. Then another came. And now he's here. Lost in the vast nothingness, the universe deaf to his cries for help. Earth is an uncountable number of miles away. So he floats. Drifts. Emptiness. Then a song comes to his mind. It was a simple tune his mother would hum to him at night whenever he couldn't sleep. And, in the vast, empty cosmos, in the utterly black void, he sees her face. His mother. Humming that tune. A lullaby. Calling him to sleep. It's been hours. Oxygen is almost out. It's cold. The heat from his body is slowly sapped away. But his mother's face remains with him, humming the tune. So he hums along. No one could hear him. No one but the phantom of his mother, floating in the space between every world. Humming. Safety. Peace. Tired. Suffocating cold lost scared mom lost scared mom I don't wanna die please scared lost space void empty mom please mom anyone please mom mom I miss you I miss home I miss mom I miss bed I miss sleep mom please mom mom mom it's okay honey. It's okay. You don't need to be scared anymore. Just hum along. It's time for rest. Sleep, honey, sleep. Sleep. It's interesting coming back to this song and this story after a year. I never would've thought it'd be the way I did either, lol. A funny man's funny face and this song. Funny. Maybe today I wouldn't have written this the way I did, but I'll keep it how it is. I only write stories like this on the spot, in the moment. This was my thoughts at the time, the way I could tell the story of this video, this song. So I hope you guys are okay today.

the original hit me with the feels when i first played Undertale, glad people are coming to this awesome cover to unite under the bittersweet beauty it has

Drifting through the endless void, the astronaut’s mind began to unravel, untethered from the reality of his dire situation. The soft melody of a haunting lullaby that seemed to emanate from the stars themselves. Each note twisted and turned, morphing into visions of vibrant alien landscapes that beckoned him to explore. He saw himself wandering through fields of bioluminescent flora, their glow pulsating in rhythm with the music. Creatures of light and shadow danced around him, inviting him to join their silent waltz. The cosmos spun overhead, a tapestry of color and sound that overwhelmed his senses. But as the song reached its crescendo, the visions grew more intense and chaotic. The astronaut felt the pull of unseen forces, drawing him deeper into the hallucination. He reached out to touch the phantoms, but they slipped through his fingers like mist. In this dreamscape, he was no longer lost or alone. He was part of the universe, a note in the symphony of existence. And as his oxygen levels dwindled, he surrendered to the illusion, finding peace in the beautiful lie his mind had woven. The music faded, and the stars dimmed, leaving the astronaut adrift in the silent expanse, a serene smile etched upon his face as he fell into an eternal slumber.

So this is where it all started. The start of a legendary meme.

my reaction to the information that toriel provides

I remember seeing the comment of that Russian Military guy talking about how this song kept him awake at night during tough times. I need to read that comment again. It was so sad Edit: you may have to scroll a bit but the comment has 20k likes for anyone who's trying to find it!

"Baba, where am I, I miss you"

I just realized what the voice is from. It’s from an old game called moonbase alpha

This song...cannot be described. I heard this song once, thought, “oh hehe, that’s cool.” Then forgot about it. Now, it pops up again and I am filled with nostalgia. The song makes me remember all the good times in life, and for that, thank you. -Max

Are these astronauts Smooth McGroove?

A young man tried to get into NASA all his life, for 11 years sending applications and during those 11 years he was rejected. He did not give up after 12 years he was about to give up but his wife and children made it this time. in person to leave the application to enter NASA, he was finally able to enter with a master's degree in engineering, a pilot, he speaks Russian, German, Chinese, Spanish, and English. In his training as an astronaut, he failed several times in the penultimate test, he managed it, he finally passed In town, one day his coach went on a mission (the Columbia) he was very excited to see his friend leave planet Earth but.... Something bad happened, a part of the ship detached and Calderón went into the atmosphere. as fast as he could to see what happened...It was already too late, all the crew members had died...After 3 years he was going to go to space prepared to honor everyone, he decided he agreed to go, he was there for 12 long months when he returned. He felt so proud to honor his friend, his brother, his parents. His children were already "teenagers." End!

I never heard this song until like last year and it's already nostalgic for me

This song feels like loss. Not just the action of it, though, but the intense raw feeling of something being permanently gone and a strange, ominous, accepting essence that replaces what there was.

With this concept just imagine, you are a astronaut, whose space crashed and you are low on oxygen. You know you aren’t going to survive, so you just float around, waiting for death to do it’s part. You get memories of how you’re life was on earth, and think, “why did I even become a astronaut”. You’re oxygen is about to run out, and before you close your eyes, you see a lady with horns, and a robe. You reach out to her, and then you feel calm, and then you feel nothing at all.

Why does this feel so nostalgic to listen to?! I’m legit tearing up at 3 AM just because of “Ba ba ba ba ba ba” 😭😭😭

This video scratches a specific part of my brain and I love it

You grew up playing your father's old games from when he was a kid, and you've absolutely fallen in love with the one called Undertale. Goat mom was your favorite character, but you haven't seen her in years. Fast forward, it's 2063, you're on the first manned mission to Mars. Everything is going well, but an unexpected asteroid hits your shuttle and sucks your crew into the vacuum of space. The only reason you've been spared is that you were doing spacewalk, checking any outside damage. You drift through space unable to even get a message back to Earth. You know that you're going to die out here, but you knew the risks when you accepted the mission. As you reach the last bits of oxygen left. you start to see your dear beloved character from childhood. You reach towards her in hopes to say goodbye to one last thing you loved...

I love how undertale wasn’t even a year old when this was made just proves how legendary the game was for its time

the feeling is like a lost memory, it cant even be described

This is a work of art still today

This is funny, and simultaneously so indescribably beautiful at the same time.

Such a terrific song this would never be turned into a meme of a man with a creepy sync and satisfying movement in 5 years Edit apparently it was 7 years sorry lol

That bass is goose bump inducing

idk what it is about this, but it has stuck with me for years and it's kind of become the most nostalgic thing in my mind, whenever I'm remembering a better time, i hear this in the back of my mind.

POV:you were not impostor
