memento - juliana chahayed [lyrics]

this video took me a week to make... stop motion and edit by me :D

Lyrics:

What did you find in the box in the back
Of the attic that you packed all those years ago?
A 1960’s plushie frog
A crochet tapestry for walls
A closet full of oddities
A signed Imogen Heap cd

I fill my room with little things
That no one wants and no one needs
Rejected, I guess they’re just like me

I’m the queen of broken toys
The music box that don’t make noise
The friends I don’t have think it’s weird
I keep the things that disappear

I fall in love with broken glass
And wipe dust off of paperbacks
I’m afraid of letting go
So I hold on to
Mementos

The smell of old is nothing new
Locked in picture frames with glue
A tv stuck on channel 5
A vhs that’s locked in time

In my room with little things
That no one wants and no one needs,
Rejected, I guess they’re just like me

I’m the queen of broken toys
The music box that don’t make noise
The friends I don’t have think it’s weird
I keep the things that disappear

I fall in love with broken glass
And wipe dust off of
paperbacks
I’m afraid of letting go
So I hold on to
Mementos

What did you find in the box in the back
Of the attic that you packed all those years ago?

1:19 The mementos crawling away like a snake, so cute! ^^

I feel like I shouldn't relate to this song as much, if not from a feeling of anemoia ( I had to look up this term). Since I didn't grow up in, but was born early 2000.

Nontheless the modern age managed to make me feel quite older than I am with the constant way of trying to optimize everything by missing out on the individualism that made things unique. As well as the weirdly growing mentality that people wanna get rid of their past.

I still have lots of old drawings. Most of which I seem to be either the only one who does, or the only one who wants to remember the past they are connected with.

I appreciate that Youtube keeps recommending me interesting artists and musicians every now and then.

Your music/aesthetic feels to me like an appreciation for all sorts of things that used to be made in joy on creating rather than greed, which is something I'm missing.

[erzuru]

new song from her always guaranteed to be amazing

[parsec]

So great, visually and vocally! You are certainly, a multi talented artist Juliana. Cheers!

[GunSlinger]

I can relate to this song keeping old things that are lack of a better word out of date or not working cause they have some...what's the word sentimental feeling to em. Even if they are considered obsolete or out of date to the world they are special to me.

[G.r.e.g.g.l.e.s]

If you feel like a memento, I'll be your friend. I just found you yesterday and I'm your fan. In fact, you're in my top 5.

[agentmoon]

I can't get past the line "I fall in love with broken glass" without crying

Also a through the phone version would be so cool

[Evanspar]

I spy two cats, two horses, a pencil,
A hand mirror, an eating utensil;

Two fish, two watches, a watering can,
A dog, a bulb, and a gingerbread man.

[fallenangelcrimson]
