emerson: *flipping through pages and fanart falls out* emerson: *sCRAMBLES TO SHOVE IT BACK IN THE BOOK*

Am I the only one that finds Emerson’s voice really calming and comforting? He’s just so quiet and soft

My favorite philosopher is now Emerson

emerson is the only person ive felt ive had a real conversation with in over a year. We talked about art, we talked about music, and the connections between them. The way his eyes lit up, the way we got excited over the same concepts and ideologies, the way he saw in me what im scared to even see in myself.. he;s one of the few souls that understand who i am, and i think i understand him, too. His art means the world to me, his ideas pierce my mind and i can never thank him enough for making me think. So thank you, Emerson, for helping me realize that there's worlds outside of the one we live in, and all we have to do to get there is let it out of our minds. Thank you, for begging me to keep creating.

Okay, so I always thought that Remington seemed like the less substanced eye candy member of Palaye Royale, but the way Emerson talked about Remington made me realize that he’s probably just as deep as Sebastian and Emerson

I really wish that I was as passionate about anything as Emerson is about his art and philosophy..

As an artist that enjoys darker, existential art, Emerson is one of my favorite artists both music and art-wise. I agree with a lot of what Emerson says when it comes to art and the world and free thinking. This man is a genius.

I almost didn’t watch this video... then I saw Emerson’s name... never had more of a change in heart.

Emerson's Art is gorgeous, it's absolutely stunning.

This video has left me in tears, twice now. His words are so inspiring, he's just such a sweet soul. Not a single flaw he has. His art is incredibly beautiful, and when he said "each new page is an expression of something terrible i've been through", I lost it. I own his book, even that had me crying. His thoughts can touch someone else, creating this whole new world of thinking... He puts a new meaning into art. I love that he thinks that art should smell nice, like how religious cultures have a certain smell like incense or how churches may have a certain smell to them. Being a part of Emerson's thoughts, or just being aware of what he thinks about, and what he does to leave something for this generation is amazing. There's not a lot of people like Emerson, and him, being who he is, makes it easier to live for a lot of people. He's inspired so many people into learning about philosophy and art. He's inspired me to even get back into drawing. I isolate myself, looking at his art and I tell myself "there's no way I could do that." And if there's a will, there's a way. Sure, Emerson Barrett has gone to many places in his life, i've heard all about it, being a part of the Royal Council. And just knowing what makes him happy, and how he lives life; makes me happier as a person. I can say, Emerson has changed me, he's shown me a new part of life, of Spaceship Earth. I love Emerson. And for anyone reading this, Love The Void. - Emerson Barrett. 'Love The Void' is what Emerson says, its even written in his book, 'Avant Garde Society, Volume Two'. They also have a song called, Love The Void, I believe 100% it will be on their upcoming album, Boom Boom Room: Side B. So yeah, Emerson is a big inspiration for me, and a lot of other people. Thank you, Emerson. I love you.

It’s awesome to see and hear him talking about what he does and the things he loves, love ya Emerson!

Ah...Emerson and the boys are the reason I'M alive. And the reason I'm going to a school dedicated to the arts. Literally. I put all my Palaye Royale pieces in my portfolio, and was accepted. They commented; "we love the three men among your portfolio the most. The dedication you have for these three are miraculous". At my interview I was asked if they were my characters, like, if I created them. My response was; "in a way....they created me." These guys. These artists. Ah! I love this. Love the Void, Dylyn Von Fauste💚

This is why Emerson is my idol

emerson is such an amazing and wise soul. i’m honored to even be alive at the same time as him.

He speaks so beautifully

I feel incredibly immature after watching this..

This man is the reason I question everything 💖💖💖💖💖

I love his art and his book, it seems like he is closer to Remington than Sebastian and maybe age has to do with that because Sebastian seems to be the eldest brother. I am glad that he sharing his passion with us and I hope that Remington and Sebastian will follow suit.

He never lost the child in him... that is so cute. Those big dreams that nobody crushed. It's adorable and it makes me happy

This is why Palaye Royale is my favorite band, they inspire me so much and they're not like other bands. For instance I had to make a piece for my art finals. I only knew I was going to include saint Mont Michael in the drawing because my friend went there. After listening to Palaye Royale and 9 hours later I had finished my piece :)

Emerson is so inspiring He is also one artist/drummer that I look up to in so many ways

He is a wonderful human being and its great that they think and do this for their fans, since in many artists and songs now produced are about meaningless things such as sex, alcohol and drugs yet we need more artists like these.

I just absolutely adore Emerson’s mind. The thoughts and the mindset of his words and the meanings behind his tongue, breathtaking to me. It’s intimidating. I will forever and always be nervous around him, only for the way he thinks. It’s inspirational, but nerve racking for me personally. I will always be inspired and feel powerful from his words, but maybe one day I will tell him all I think and how he’s helped me learn and all I wish to pursue because of him...

Emerson is the most beautiful soul I've ever seen. He's so intelligent, open, and tranquil.

his hat is so iconic

What a brilliant beautiful soul. The world needs more people like Emerson

I love Emerson so much, he makes my heart melt. He's an amazingly talented artist, kind, he has his own unique style, philosophy, he's like a walking piece of art. He's not afraid to express himself and he is a huge inspiration for me to draw. The world needs more people like Emerson

9:26 minutes of pure heaven! Just listening to him talk about his art makes me immediately rethink of why I love art and music so much and why I’ll never let these two huge components of my life go ❤️

Emerson is an icon🖤 The whole band are icons🖤

I swear he’s gonna be the one person that they make you learn about in high school one day

We need more people like the boys in Palaye Royale in the world.

My vocabulary isn't large enough to describe how incredibly amazing Emerson Barrett is

Emerson is so interesting honestly, I could listen to him talk for days

Your art is amazing Emerson!

I constantly find myself coming back to this video. Emerson voice and way of thinking just constantly reminds me reality is what you make it. Thank you Emerson.

i could listen to emerson talk all day. i love how he incorporates art into palaye royale

“You feel like a stranger lost and afraid in a world you never created.”

I have cried so many times to this thank you emerson you have changed my life so much you have no idea

He says " it was the happiest ive ever been" like 4 times in this video and i envy that

You can be broken but his words are beautiful ❤️

I love and worship my child

5:41 was like: OH NO WHERE ARE YOU GOING FANARTS? BACK IN THE BOOK!

I can seriously listen to this man talk all day! 💕

I got surprised by an ad at the end. I had the volume up because Emerson speaks very quiet. My ears just died.

i'm really passionate about the same stuff and i got to meet him...20 days ago i didn't get the chance to talk a lot with him bc there were lots of fans obviously but i did tell him that he inspired me to draw again and i can't remember what he said i just remembered the "you're talented" when i gave him a drawing and honestly that's the only thing i needed to hear from him to keep drawing

All of these nice comments about Emerson and the band are making my heart happy

Am I the only who could listen to Emerson’s voice for hours

Emerson's art and ideology inspires me so much. To push my self through the self hatred and self doubt that comes with creating art. I always struggled with being confident to keep going making things and although his accomplishments often make me insecure about my abilities, his attitude makes me feel that I'm not alone and makes me comfortable to keep going, pushing myself through that negativity to purge it through my creations. I'm so incredibly happy that I stumbled upon this band

I would listen to him talk about art and philosophy and life for hours. I need someone to make a compilation video of everything he's ever said about those general topics. And I need it now!!

I stopped writing poetry to watch this and I am truly inspired

Emerson is such a powerful gentleman, with his thoughts and art. He seems so grounded and to me he is an idol, I wish to be like him some day. This video honestly had me shedding tears because of how he describes the beauty of things. Emerson is in my opinion one of the best people in the world

His mind amazes me and I’m so fascinated by everything he says. Like, the way he thinks, the way he talks the little smirk every now and again, I love it. I’m so so proud of him and the band in general and I know for a fact that I’m still gonna be here for them probably the rest of my life! Xx

emerson is a freaking genius!!

The way Emerson speaks is so beautiful and listening to him spin together his sentences is incredible

Emerson is so inspiring. I look up to him a lot. I hope to meet him one day and show him the art I created because him, Remington and Sebastian have inspired me so much.

I am so glad I watched this, I love Emerson's perspective on everything. It really does make me want to be more creative outside of my head instead of always leaving it all inside.

There is something so endearing in the way that he speaks, I could listen to him all day especially him showing his work, it's so uplifting to see someone show something they deeply care about, wish this had been longer 😊

he draws, he speaks as an angel, he's into phylosophy, he's way to speak is so unique(in a way), everything. I'd be his friend with no problem

I really like how emerson has a big part in all of our lives and has changed it for the good

The way emerson speaks/ how he uses his words gives me chills every single time

Wow. I’m blown away at how brilliant he is at his age. Love him! I also feel Remington Is just as deep... didn’t Sebastian say all of them were introverts?? I have 4 siblings and all of us are introverts as well.

He freaking just spoke words from my soul. He is amazing. I love Emerson. He is my idol. I wish I could take a walk through his mind and see how much more we have in common. 😂

EMERSON!! I love your artwork!

I love him way too much... I forgot about this video and I came in from skateboarding and started finishing a painting while listening to their music and this came up again. I literally threw everything and layed on the floor watching this... He's so inpriring... They all are and hopefully one day I can meet them in person and tell them all how much they've inspired and helped me to just be myself. (I know it's random but I thought I'd share) stay safe everyone and remember that you are beautiful and amazing. Always be yourself and express yourself through something you love 🖤

Emerson you are my inspiration you have seriously helped me be able to open up im a singer song writer im 22yrs old and i have always had a hard time being myself but ever since Ive heard your music you've helped me be more myself

Emerson and the guys and my fellow soldiers feel like the only true family i've ever had. Me and Emerson stay up all night to talk about art and music and old poetry, Sebastian gives me guitar lessons, Remington sings me to sleep when I have anxiety attacks home alone...I've never felt safer than I have in this fandom, I love you all so much...I've been having a really hard time, mentally, and Palaye has been on e of the only things keeping me alive. I love you all.

He's to cute it physically hurts

"Ships of my mind" That's called a head cannon OTP m'dude.

This man is truly amazing. A genius.

Emerson my childdddd

They all seem so close, I'm jealous in a way. The sweetest group of guys. Emerson inspires me to contuine trying to progress in art.

The thoughts in his head and the art from his hands... what an amazing artist and thinker!

why is he the most enchanting individual I've ever had the pleasure knowing of? he is so profound and unapologetically new, I adore him.

Emerson and Remington seem to really love each other. I wish I had a bond like that with my siblings

this man is a really beautiful person, great musician, incredible artist and kind of a philosopher. I love his art so much, like, i love art in general but to see these beautiful sketches with these explanations and everything really touched me, it looks so beautiful to me. I’m in love with the person he is and i think that every fan of palaye royale should gave more attention to the person he is, is thoughts and is art.

Here I am, watching this for the millionth time. They're so inspiring and just listening to Emerson talk centers me 💖

Emerson has such a like calming voice. I love Emersons style and he is amazing at drawing I wish I could become better at drawing but I'll never be as good as him. love you Emerson

I 110% owe my life to Emerson. He is my number one inspiration in life and has helped me have the will to create on my own

why am I crying this is beautifully worded.

I honestly would give so much just to be able to have a conversation with him, a proper meaningful one. There isn't many people I have found that are as passionate as him and honestly, if I could ever meet him or talk to him it'd make me so happy. His ideas and passion are so amazing and inspiring, he as a person motivates me to keep going through things. His thoughts really pierce peoples minds and I feel I would be able to benefit so much from even just a single conversation.

Emerson is my comfort person. He's so calming and kind and sweet. He and palaye royale have inspired me. His artwork is amazing. He makes me feel good about myself. Thank you Emerson

I´m crying I love him so so much he inspires me a lot *breath* I really want to gift him too many drawings

Emmerson: look i've already got the hat now give me my damn ship

i could listen to Emerson talk for hours and hours ...

This is not Chris but this is his daughter. I relate to Emerson so much. I love to sketch . I love Victorian and gysp gothic pirate themes. My mom always says I look like him. I love how different he is from his brothers. I love Emerson. I look up to him and I want to be able to as good as him with sketch.

I can definitely tell he has social anxiety like myself. I’ve performed on stage and been in pageants but I do struggle with major social anxiety that runs in my family. I’ve overcome it by my Lexapro and going out to eat alone now I don’t think twice about it but it will always be there if someone gets me anxious enough. I never thought I could live with it or manage it so major respect to him 🖤🖤

As a french person when he said ode to Mont-Saint-Michel I fr teared up. Great place I would recommend to visit if anyone looks at this comment :)

I love Em talking about Rem and him its cute🥺

Emersons voice is an asmr.

You know when people ask you "if you had one person to have a conversation with, living or dead, who would it be?" I've always known I would want to speak with an artist or a philosopher, but I never could pick one. Now I think I would want to speak to Emerson, because it seems like for everything I know about art and philosophy, he knows the same things and understands them more deeply or at least differently. I have never had a conversation with someone who understood everything I was referencing or all the conclusions I came to (and that's not to say that I'm better, just different) and I feel like Emerson would understand everything I have to say.

This made me emotional... especially the last like minute or so... i love this band and all of its members and there is nothing that makes me happier than seeing thins like this and knowing someone is out there speaking up for the importance of the arts...

Emerson is so inspiring and everything he says is so amazing. He has a beautiful mind, his art and this world is so incredible.

I don't even listen to the band that much, but this kind of art and dedication to expression, I have so much respect

Holy frick why is he so good at drawing

emersonnnnnnnnnn

I really need to stop watching Emerson's interviews and such at 1 am. they get me in such a state of raw emotion and just feel to create. last night at like 12 am I watched about 20 of his interviews and just started writing poetry for the first time in well over a year. I called the poem I wrote The Void, because that's what it's about after all. he's been onw of my idols for so long now

This was the video that made me the fan I am- I was into the band but more as a casual listener and hardly that- I just found them unique I loved that but then I found this and saw who they all were as people and- I've loved bands before but I've loved a band like this before. Thank you Palaye for improving my life as much as you do

i could listen to emerson talking about his art for hours and not ger bored

As a fellow writer and musician only a couple years younger, I feel like he's centuries ahead of me. He blows my absolute fucking mind.

I genuinely love how his mind works. Ive never had someone who really inspires me as an artist or someone who just makes me think - he has a brilliant way of viewing the world around us.
