(Lyrics):
My grandpa fought in World War Two
He was such a noble dude
I can’t even finish school
Missed my mom and left too soon
His dad was a fireman
Who fought fires so violent
I think I bored my therapist
While playing him my violin
Oh my god that‘s so insane
Oh my god that’s such a shame
Next to them, my shit don’t feel so grand
But I can’t help myself from feeling bad
I kinda feel like 2 things can be sad
The world’s smallest violin
Really needs an audience
So if I do not find somebody soon
I’ll blow up into smithereens
And spew my tiny symphony
Just let me play my violin for you
My grandpa fought in World War Two
He was such a noble dude
Man I feel like such a fool
I got so much left to prove
All my friends have vaping friends
They’re so good at making friends
I’m so scared of caving in
Is that entertaining yet?
Oh my god that‘s so insane
Oh my god that’s such a shame
Next to them, my shit don’t feel so grand
But I can’t help myself from feeling bad
I kinda feel like 2 things can be sad
The world’s smallest violin
Really needs an audience
So if I do not find somebody soon
I’ll blow up into smithereens
And spew my tiny symphony

Just let me play my violin for you
Somewhere in the universe
Somewhere someone’s got it worse
Wish that made it easier
Wish I didn’t feel the hurt
The world’s smallest violin
Really needs an audience
So if I do not find somebody soon
I’ll blow up into smithereens
And spew my tiny symphony
All up and down a city street
While tryna put my mind at ease
Like finishing this melody
This feels like a necessity
So this could be the death of me
Or maybe just a better me
Now come in with the timpanis
And take a shot of Hennessy
I know I’m not there mentally
But you could be the remedy
So let me play my violin for you

[AmyTabbyCat]

Just found this song today and am blown away by how much it resonates. This really encapsulates why the "remember other people suffer through worse" isn't always beneficial. I know the intention with those kinds of phrases is usually well-meaning and wanting to be encouraging, but often times it does the opposite and makes the receiver feel un-empathetic and self-centered for still being unhappy. This song is especially applicable for invisible chronic illnesses and disabilities. We might not have visible and immediately recognizable large issues like some other disabilities, but we still struggle just to meet the expectations of a "regular person" and the "be grateful that it isn't worse" or the "you don't seem that bad" can be really hurtful sometimes. Really beautiful song. Someone else's suffering doesn't invalidate yours!

[jadiegotshot]

I'm realty glad AJR is getting the recognition they deserve<33

[fvrenzieezz.]

For anyone who literally dies from not breathing on that last part, try taking a breath right after you sing “this feels like a necessity”. It’s helped me a lot and I think the person who sings this always breathes in at that time when he sings it live.

[cobble]

It’s sad that most people think the whole song is just the end because it’s a really good song

[Exo-Manic]

2:35 This makes me feel a way I've never felt before..

I never thought this would get this many likes, I thank everyone who like this!

[SunshineAndCharlie]

2:35 You gotta admit everyone loves this part

[HAGATANA]

With the stuff I've had to deal with the past few months, this song has been the most relatable and so empowering. AJR is truly something else ❤️

[infuriousduckyx]

Man this song hits different, my friends go through so much stuff like I never bring up my problem or always think my problems are dumb cause of what they have to deal with but after reading the comments and listening to the song it helps me realize that everyone goes through their own problems big and small and it doesn’t matter how important and small it is like you don’t have to see it as something not important by comparing it to someone else’s probelm

[ayummi_]

If this song ain't played at my funeral, I ain't dying.
Edit: hi mom I'm famous :D
tysm for all the likes :)

[therealJGaming]

OMG I GOT IT TO THE NEXT THOUSAND! HOW AMAZING BRA

[sncforever]

Why can I relate to this song is god damn much? All my friends are striving and creating amazing works of art and I feel like everything I do just doesn't matter enough

[swavii]

I work at a camp, and randomly this song played on Spotify, the kids were loving it and I guess they all knew the ending???
They all started singing the ending and God it was the most wholesome thing ever

My grandpa fought in world war 2!
He was such a noble dude,
I can't even finish school
Missed my mom and left too soon
His dad was a fireman
Who fought fires so violent
I think I bored my therapist
While playing him my violin
(Oh my god)that's so insane
(Oh my god) that's such a shame
Next to them my s*** don't feel so grand
But I can't help myself from feeling bad
I kinda feel like two things can be said
The world's smallest violin
Really needs some audience
So if i do not find somebody soon(That's right, That's right)
I will blow into smithereens
And spew my tiny symphony
Just let me play my violin for you, you, you, you

My grandpa fought in world war 2
And he was such a noble dude
Man I feel like such a fool
I got so much left to prove
All my friends are vaping friends
They are so good at making friends
I'm so scared of caving in
Is that entertaining yet?
(Oh my god)that's so insane
(Oh my god) that's such a shame
Next to them my s*** don't feel so grand
But I can't help myself from feeling bad
I kinda feel like two things can be said

Really needs some audience
So if i do not find somebody soon(That's right, That's right)
I will blow into smithereens
And spew my tiny symphony
Just let me play my violin for you, you, you, you

Somewhere in the universe
Somewhere someone got it worse
Wish that make it easier
Wish I didn't feel the hurt
The world's smallest violin
Really needs some audience
So if i do not find somebody soon(That's right, That's right)
I will blow into smithereens
All up and down a city street
While Tryna put my mind at ease
Like finishing this melody
This feels like a necessity
So this could be the death of me
Or maybe just a better me
Now come in with the timpanis
And take a shot of Hennessy
I know i am not there mentally
But you could be the remedy
So let me play my violin for you

[mantaanafm]

AJR my biggest inspiration, one day i’ll collab with them

[notkl]

i am listening from USA CALIFORNIA LETS

[mostart]

This is the one song I would play on repeat for the rest of my life.


Edit + fun fact: This one song made me love AJR and the entire OK Orchestra album.

[novasleep]

In the hospital room right now, and though to me, it’s the hardest thing I’ve experience, looking at others’ situation, mine may not look so bad. But this song really helped me in my pained times, have been playing this beautiful song on repeat ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[huntercool]

2:34 This part makes me feel an emotion that doesn’t exist

[lvio_]

skipping to the point where everyone listens to and comes here for: ❎

listening to the whole song and being patient for that part: ✅

[miles]

2:34 is where I would put this on loop for the rest of my whole
Life
