Lyrics:

Hello, how have you been today?
The same question for the fifth time this week
How forgetful was that chatty cliche?
Everything seems ordinary to me

Should I tell you I've been feeling down?
'Cause, well that's not really new
Oh well, I'll say something somehow
Though you want to hear me ramble
There's not much that I can say

'Cause everything seems normal
There's nothing to it, though
And how I feel, the face I show the world
They all seem so slow

Everything seems normal
No need to be upset
Don't concern yourself with my unhappiness
'Cause I'm sure it's normal

So, how was the party last week?
I'm sorry that I couldn't make it
Don't worry, it's not anything deep
I was feeling kinda reckless in the nights I couldn't sleep

'Cause everything seems normal
There's nothing to it, though
And how I feel, the face I show the world
They all seem so slow

Everything seems normal
No need to be upset
Don't concern yourself with my unhappiness
'Cause I'm sure it's normal...

...to lose interest in life
And to wish you never tried
Isn't that what you call normal?
There is nothing I want
The only reason I went on
Is 'Cause you'll feel regretful if I died

I've written three set-aside notes
Eight attempts without any results
But why should my stories be told?
They all seem too ordinary to me

'Cause everything seems normal
There's nothing to it, though
And how I feel, the face I show the world
They all seem so slow

Everything seems normal
No need to be upset
Don't concern yourself with my unhappiness
'Cause I'm sure it's normal

Don't concern yourself with my unhappiness

Hi, I turned the comments section back on, but will be filtering them manually because the YouTube comment section is not the best place to discuss these topics.
I hope you understand, thank you !

[Novanoir]

I love how each chorus is sort of an inverse of Circus Hop. In each Circus Hop, the character falls more and more into insanity with each portrait of them growing more insane and crazed, while in this one, they seem to grow just a little bit happier. It goes from a frown, to an open mouth, to a bit of a smirk, and finally in the last seconds of the video, a smile. It's really a heartwarming thing.

The use of water, that feeling of drowning, it’s used perfectly, your work keeps amazing me

[ChichiAi]

I've been playing this on repeat
It's really a beautiful song, thank you so much for putting it out.

[cloudybunny]

I thought the same, but when I saw that everyone was happy except me I was like '' oh wow I'm depressed '' and I just can't open myself up, I just feel like a burden to my loved ones, but slowly, I'm getting rid of that feeling, it's exhausting battling everyday with my own thoughts but people are here to help me now :')
(sry for my bad English)

[Thesmithsfan]

I'm so glad a song was put out like this. I feel like this song puts depression in a way that is much more realistic than most songs I hear about it, even hitting close to home. Thank you. My feelings aren't as invalidated anymore.

[pipemax]

I LOVE the song, although it hits a bit too close to home...

It's really nice to hear someone touch upon this topic, it really helps feeling like I'm not alone here.

[giingersnaps]

To anybody who needs it;

It’ll be alright in the end,
And if it’s not alright, it’s not the end.

[princechion]

the "set-aside notes" was very clever and relatable. stay safe everyone! i love this song

[Alchristis]

The choice in the instrumental track for this song is just perfect in conveying how "normal" this kind of thing can feel. Wonderful work as "normal"

[aidalabowitch]

The theme of toxic positivity is something I really relate to, honestly. I think sometimes we all need to remember that it's okay to be sad, and that it's okay to lean on our people. Thank you for giving us a song that reminds us that we're not alone in this. And, to whoever's reading this- your value is immeasurable. You are loved, and people miss you when you're not around. Take care of yourself, you deserve it <3

[LozzieOzzzie]

No joke, this almost made me cry. I've never found a song I relate to so much until this.

[Sadlyu]

this is so beautiful, it just relates me a whole lot with my current state and situation. you're amazing Jonkagor

[xx._karii]

Aww.. I love the pastel color scheme, the way the hair blows in the wind, the character's outfit and shorts, the lyrics, your voice, and the very soft, calming feeling of this song. You did an amazing job, as always. I hope you're okay!

[phoenix]

When struggling with depression, I couldn't tell if what I was feeling was normal and I was just over reacting. It took me months to tell a friend how I felt, and another month to get therapy. Fortunately I'm now better, but I want anyone reading this to know that it is not normal to feel sad, unmotivated, alone, trapped, etc. on the daily. Please get help. Trust me, no one will judge you. Please, just talk to someone.

[marcojervoso]

I really love the character in this video, their design is so cute

[thatoneflyinghat]

I've been feeling this way for a while and I hadn't really thought of a good way to put that feeling into words...previously all I could say is "I just wish I could have you feel it for a second so you could know." Because there is no way to truly ever put feelings into words. Even this song probably isn't 100% accurate to the topic because feelings can never be truly explained through words alone. It needs something more, like a song for example. Thank you for this ♡

[runo]

If anyone is feeling depressed, anxious, or anything else, don't forget that people are here for you and that there's help available to you (like therapy)

Alright everyone take care, and I love you •3•

[Peepichi]

I’ve always adored how beautifully you’ve been able to handle these topics within your music. Your work astounds me each time I see it and I just have to say how thankful I am that you end up sharing these songs. Thank you Jon, you’ve knocked it out of the park again with this one.

[Ah-ugtf]

Nobody is "normal", just brainwashed with the image of "normal"
This song is delightful, so smooth and soothing
It's lovely.
