Thanks a lot to everyone who shared their feelings. It became a beautiful place and thanks to your comments this is one of the few things that I'm proud of. I never thought millions of people would listen to it.

the one thing ive learned while scrolling through this comment section is that there is no definition of "one of those nights". everyone has their own definition.

[kitsune_spooky]

this is like nostalgia for a place youve never been to before

[iamcrash]

Well
The internet is usually one of the most toxic places. But this place. This small insignificant comment section. It's calm and peaceful. I love it.

i remember putting this video on one night a few years ago, unhappy with the life i was living. it’s one of the reasons i decided to start releasing music publicly! thank you

Those nights when you want to cry but can’t, so you just exhale deeply and stare at the ceiling

We didn’t search for this. But we are glad we are here

We're not people that want to be at parties, but that Friday night feeling of just being alone kills us sometimes. We want to be alone sometimes, but not to feel lonely

My favorite word is the German word "sehnsucht". It refers to a specific kind of longing or yearning, something wistful and melancholic.

[oakley]

Sometimes, I wish I could just observe the world. I don't want to have to worry about life. I just want to see the trees blowing in the wind and the sun setting. Why can't everything just be peaceful?

“how rare and beautiful it is that we even exist”

I'm writing this here because this is one of those nights where I feel so very alone. I have no one else but myself to blame for this but it still hurts nonetheless. I am a 23 year old man who feels unwanted and unloved by the people and the world around him. I know I am a kind person and have a good heart and I wish people would see that. I've made mistakes just like everyone else out there but I am only human. I love and care for others deeply but that love has nowhere to go so it sits inside my heart and soul waiting. I feel like I am just a cog in a machine, a spec of dust in this expanse of darkness we call the universe. I crave human connection, I crave love, I am tired of being alone, and I hope someday I am wanted and loved by the people in my life.

Seasonal depression is hitting hard but I don't want to end my life or give up I just want nothing more than to go back in time even if just a little and start over but I can't, none of us can, life goes on for all of us. I don't know if anyone feels the same way I do but I hope I can connect with at least one person wherever you reside in the world. I cry, I feel sad, I laugh, I smile, I breathe the same air, I look at the same stars, I wake up to the same sun and sleep to the same moon, I have dreams, I have goals, I want to be happy, I want to live a life that I'm proud of at the end of it all. I am just like any other human being on this planet we call home.

I know this note will be here for as long as this video exists. I am just a stranger in some corner of the world to you all but I was here at this moment in time, I have a heart and a soul, I am real. I hope that in years from now I can come back to this note that I left here and be content with how I'm doing at that moment in time. This is just a part of my story, there's still a whole lot of pages to fill and a lot more memories to create. To the person reading this I just want to say I love you

Good anecdote: The teacher asked once what did we talk about when we talked about happiness. And then one student said that happiness is what happens when you go to bed on the hottest night of the summer, a night so hot you can’t even wear a tee-shirt and you sleep on top of the sheets instead of under them, although try to sleep is probably the most accurate. And then at some point late, late at night, say just a bit before dawn, the heat finally breaks and the night turns cool and when you briefly wake up, you notice that you’re almost chilly, and in your groggy, half-consciousness, you reach over and pull the sheet around you and just that flimsy sheet makes it warm enough and you drift back off into a deep sleep. And it’s that reaching, that gesture, that reflex we have to pull what’s warm- whether it’s something or someone- towards us, that feeling we get when we do that, that feeling of being safe in the world and ready for sleep, that’s happiness.

"I can't wait to grow up" I used to tell myself..
"I want to be young again" I now tell myself..
Oh how things change..

[mellow]

im in this weird mood where everything is going okay while falling apart at the same time

[samuelghoener]

I think what I miss the most is feeling safe. It seems the majority of the people here are posting inside of their late teens, at the teetering point of losing their youth and becoming adults. Let me tell you, do not let go of that feeling. Let it engulf you and never forget it. It won’t last forever. I’m laying in bed at nearly 28 years old next to my incredible girlfriend of 3yrs, happy and in love, yet haven’t been able to feel as safe and free and happy the way I did back then. You don’t realize the adults telling you that you’re living out the best years of your life are 350% correct until you wake up at the end of your fleeting 20s and see your parents getting old, your old friends getting married and having their own kids living their own lives, and you may be in just as good of a place but the fact is it’s SCARY if you slow down and look at it for a second. This life thing doesn’t stop until it does, and I just pray that by the time I get there I’m comfortable enough with my choices to be able to let it go and return to the void…not that I’ll have a choice. I’m rambling now, but be good to yourself because what you’re feeling now may never come again. Embrace it. All of the emotions and sensations and challenges and blessings of growing up. It’s a cold scary world out there. All of us in this comments section know this. We may never cross paths but I’ll be looking for each and every one of you in the warm smile shared with a stranger.

Be good to yourselves. Be good to eachother. We’re all we’ve got.

See you out there.

[georgiaadelaide]

I want to give everyone in the comments a hug.

[ruubiez]

do you ever just reach a point in your sadness, where you feel at peace? like nothing can hurt you more than you’ve already felt, it can’t get worse, so it has to get better. right?

[raffertygrantperry]

Damn. Really realising that there are loads of other people who have "one of those nights". Never actually felt so connected, confused and comforted in my life. Thanks guys

[DepthStrider]

It’s been one of those nights for 3 years straight
