shout out to my bear 🐻

and now im crying

this song changed my life. I was put on a too high dose of ADHD medication and hospitalised for psychotic symptoms about 4 weeks ago. That first night, I listened to this song and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I've never cried that much inmy life. And then I listened again And Again and then I watched the video And I didn't even notice the details. I just connected and FELT his pain. It was the same pain I was in. The same. Pain. 2 days later, I spent the last of my money (I was still in hospital) on concert tickets to his show (its coming up at the end of July). It was the happiest I'd ever felt in my life at this point. Someone who has GENUINELY, through the power of music, SAVED MY LIFE, and now I had spent the last of my savings on these tickets - and its the first time in a long time I genuinely appreciated a purchase, something to look forward to. A week later, I *trigger warning* Tried to kill myself, even when I was in the hospital. I ran out. LAte at night. I was just like the scene at the start, with the plan, the note to mum and dad. I was ready to go. I didn't do it And 3 weeks later, here today, rewatching this video, I cry even fucking more and I just feel SO FUCKING HAPPY I DIDNT GIVE IN, IM SO GLAD I DIDNTKILL MYSELF AND IM SO GLAD IM 'FOOKIN ALIVE (AS HE WOULD SAY) And I genuinely have this video to thank for that. I watched it a hundred times in the last month. I played the song on repeat more than most. I used to write songs myself and I used to never complete them out of fear of how they may influence others negatively. As a writer, I know that that is a common fear. YOUR MUSIC SAVED MY LIFE, WHEN I WAS SITTING IN MY ROOM WITH MY HEAD IN MY HANDS AND REALITY DIDNT MATCH UP, WHEN 8 YEARS OF RITALIN AND AMPHETAMINE DEPENDENCE FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH ME. WHEN EVERYTHING HIT ME LIKE A TON OF BRICKS AND I COULDNT TAKE IT AND I NEVER WANTED TO DIE MORE THAN THIS MOMENT. YOUR SONG SAVED MY LIFE.

This song reminds me of my son. He's 13. He's starting to go out with friends but it's hard for him. I love him and hope he'll find a reason to smile out there....I try my best but when I was his age it was the same for me... depression and insomnia run deep in our family. Stay strong drakko....you'll find a reason to smile if you look hard enough....

Just the bear with that sign: "r u ok?" made me cry.

"I won't let my insecurities define who I am". I really wanna feel that, bro.

I'm in my 40s and I'm grateful for this new wave of rock. This kid is so f'n talented. I'm blown away more and more by him every song I hear / video I see. Bravo to him for being himself. May he inspire many to live as their true selves. Love you Dom!!

Words can’t even describe how much this song still means to me

*WE ARE MORE THAN OUR INSECURITIES, WE WON'T LET OUR INSECURITIES GET US*

Really felt this. Love you ❤️

This song made me sad for my son, while I don't understand what he is thinking, I get mad, I yell, I feel bad, I repeat. It's the cycle itself that is creating his problems. Maybe I am the problem. Maybe I am a bad father, for wanting the best and not knowing how to get through to him. Thank you for this song Yungblod!

I NEED to see this man live, and I NEED to hear this song sung live.

This song is honestly like the biggest hug ever like it just makes me feel better. You know...

The dad: "LOOK AT HIM. WHAT IS HE WEARING? HE COMES TO DINNER WEARING THAT?" Dom: *is wearing the most casual thing I think I have ever seen him in*

This is my fav YUNGBLUD music video because the story line is incredible, I love everything from the plot to the clothes and of course the song's meaning. I discovered this talented artist last week and I need to say that I am obsessed because he talks about what we young people suffer everyday in this society through his awesome songs.

Seeing how the dad character reacted when Dom flips the table showed he was one of those people who would smack someone around and then act like the victim if the person retaliated. Same for the teacher who acted indignant when he go a reaction other than silent cowering.

“I won’t let my insecurities define who I am” That line hit me so hard 🥺

Imagine how safe you would feel at one of his concerts

ADHD with psychosis: The Music Video

I found Dom during lockdown and I can say for certain that he got me through a lot of difficult, lonely moments where I questioned my own self worth more than I'd like to admit. I was lucky enough to be able to see his concert recently in Cardiff and as usual, he was incredibly warm, kind and welcoming. I could not be more thankful to be a part of this family. Long live The Black Hearts! 🖤🖤🖤

Can we please start selling these teddy bears holding signs 'R U OK?' and 'WANNA PLAY OUT?'.

it feels like he's the only one who understands, but then you see how many other people in these comments feel the same way and it feels like a home here

Ok but this song hits different when it just so happens to be 4 am and you can’t sleep thinking of all the reasons you feel you aren’t good enough and thinking everyone else is better off without you it’s nice to know I’m not alone in this feeling

This hit home so hard 🤐 my parents didn't say it out loud, but I could tell that they gave up on me and started trying to better the siblings. I raised myself and I'm proud of who I am. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Dom 😔❤️

2020: *a mess* Emo era: perfect time to comeback!

do parents not understand that every kid goes through something, and they deal with it in different ways.

As a former foster youth and a mom of a 35 and 27 year old and grandson🙏🏽💜🥳I love this!!! The bear as a positive bold light inside is fuckning. Brilliant!!! I still have a little punk in me and I’ll always have love for anyone speaking truth and saving lives💜💜🖤🖤🍀well done!

yungblud's lips have more emotional range than most actors

i can already tell i’m going to cry

this song is like dom giving you a hug telling you it’s going to be okay

to my dad who says I don’t understand mental health this is for you:

数週間前にUKpostsで貴方を見つけました！毎日貴方の歌を聴いてます！ 和訳を見て貴方の考え方や生き方が大好きです！ 僕も何にも囚われたくない、差別なんかあって欲しくない。 自分は自分！ 自由にありのままでいたい！！！

It’s not like I started crying at the beginning

The bear was my favorite. He was like “let’s let you live man” he was trying to really open him up and help him enjoy life it seems 🖤🖤🖤 a literal spirit animal

I just know I'm gonna cry at his concerts. His voice is so beautiful and the lyrics are so relatable

This song also helped me when I was in a very dark place…. Bro…. You I hope you catch just a glimpse of the lives you are helping.

It's amazing how Yungblud has built a community of people that relate so much to him, that sometimes it feels like what he makes is specifically meant for you. It's hard to explain, but it just feels like a personal letter for you and suddenly you're not carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders anymore.

sounds weird but this feels like a hug to me

This song touches my heart.I think whoever goes through this will,get better and be happier.🙏🏽🤟🏼

Lyrics Calm me down before I sleep 'Cause I don't know where I've just been And the morning seems so far away And the drugs just hit, so I'm wide awake Not gonna waste my life 'cause I've been fucked up 'Cause it doesn't matter So waste my time, and God save all of us And the walls, they'll shatter And I won't let my insecurities define who I am, I am Not gonna waste my life 'cause I've been fucked up 'Cause it doesn't matter Take a breath and try to think straight 'Cause therе's so much pressure on my fuckin' brain And my blood runs thin 'cause I'm off my facе And my shoulders weigh more than I can take (I can't fucking take it) Remove ads Not gonna waste my life 'cause I've been fucked up 'Cause it doesn't matter So waste my time, and God save all of us And the walls, they'll shatter And I won't let my insecurities define who I am, I am Not gonna waste my life 'cause I've been fucked up 'Cause it doesn't matter God save, God save all of us God save, God save all of us God save, God save all of us God save, God save all of us God save, God save all of us God save, God save all of us (and finally I know) God save, God save all of us (finally I know) God save, God save all of us (somehow finally I do) God save, God save all of us (finally I know) Not gonna waste my life 'cause I've been fucked up 'Cause it doesn't matter So waste my time, and God save all of us And the walls, they'll shatter And I won't let my insecurities define who I am, I am Not gonna waste my life 'cause I've been fucked up 'Cause it doesn't matter Goodnight, everybody See you tomorrow I think we might be alright, you know

“for anyone lying in their bedroom at 4am wondering why they aren’t good enough” I felt that

humans : hey can you please explain what you're feeling me : hold on lemme just *plays this song* there ya go

Thank you for this it really helps me with not being accepted by my own parents bc of being something that they don't accept in my family and this also helps when you're only a 13 year old girl that already has depression and has ended up in the hospital multiple times bc of a family that you know will never accept you. Thank you YUNGBLUD for being the best artist in the world please never stop making beautiful music

This video has seen us all through so many difficult moments. It doesn't matter how long it's been since this came out or how many songs he's written since, this will always be the one song that will do that for us. Just look at the view count. But ultimately, it's not the numbers that matter. The important thing is that we matter. And I think we're going to be alright.

do parents not understand that every kid goes through shit? their perfect little child has gone forever.

when he throws away the meds, it means A LOT to me because I just stopped using it IT GETS MUCH BETTER, I PROMISE

1:41 is song start!

Thank you so much yungblud. I’m a person who bottles up their struggles, people pleases and masks. This song gives me a sense of purpose and i can relate on such a deep level. Ur amazing, never stop doing what you’re doing!

DON'T LET UR INSECURITIES DEFINE WHO YOU ARE

YUNGBLUD for prime minster, we need more Dom’s in this world

This is the first song i heard of Yungbluds. It is still my favorite!♡

Yo había escuchado la canción antes, pero nunca había visto el video. La verdad... Algo se removió en mi al comenzar a verlo. Ví las primeras escenas con lágrimas bajando por mis mejillas. Es realmente increíble la forma en la que nosotros los fans amamos a nuestros ídolos. Porque para mi, YUNGBLUD es un ídolo. Y nunca, nunca jamás, quisiera verlo triste o sufriendo. Me di cuenta hoy de lo mucho que amo a este chico aunque no lo conozca. De verdad te deseo lo mejor y no quiero verte triste nunca, Dom, aunque no leas ni entiendas este comentario, porque dudo que sepas español. Aun así, me gustaría mucho conocerte algún día. You're the reason of my smiles ♡

This song is what I needed right now, it just feels like he cares about all of us when his singing this

The bear was an imaginary friend.... Hits me pretty hard..

Can we just talk about his beautiful makeup is?

2 years ago, I was at my lowest, trying atleast every two weeks, causing long term effects, the first time i heard this song I was just zoning out, the second time I found a small amount of motivation, thankyou for this song, even 3 years later, your music has changed me forever but to anyone who reads this, you can find that motivation.

The “For Anyone Lying in Their Bed at 4 am Wondering Why They Aren’t Good Enough...” that made me cry. I’ve been so depressed lately and I always go back to Dom, I’ve been listening to him for a few years now and seen him grow and I can always relate to him.

"i won't let my insecurities define who i am" this always brings up my tears ahh 😭

The day the child in you dies is the day a part of your soul dies. The part this world needs so much. Keep it alive forever! ❤️‍🔥

The bear represents your inner feelings, hypersexuality, violence, while taking meds fixes this, *playing out* isn't taking your meds and finding solutions to your problems on your own, ive been through this shit and finally got the idea of the music video, its to say even if you dont take your meds, if you can pass your problems, you can solve them and find better, for the most part true

the intro reminds me of my mother, forcing me to wear long sleeves in summer because she was ashamed of my scars. if anyone reads this - your scars are not shameful. nobody gets to say they are.

I'm 38 years old and I still needed to hear this. All you kids listening to this, please take it on board now, and don't waste 20 years of your life suffering. Trust me

This video reminds of my kid sister who has passed. They told her no more dolls and I stood up and said well then stuffed animals it is then. When she died she was surrounded in stuffed animals. God bless Yungblud!

Listening to this in 2023 😊

"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know." Ernest Hemingway

im crying...

These are the things that make us who we are.

Parents:time to go to bed(at 11pm) **me: listening to yungblud to have comfort at almost 2am**

"For anyone lying in their bedroom at 4 am wondering why they aren´t good enough" Me: I...wasn't expecting that... Bear: R U OK?? Me: *starts crying*

I want to say to every single person commenting that it truly does get better. I sought out therapy and the proper medications, and it changed my life! I created routine and structure in my life, and sometimes that in itself gives you a sense of purpose. I’ve been there, I’ve been “fucked up.” I’m not going to let that hold me back as my journey continues, and you shouldn’t either. Love and black hearts to you all!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

You have no idea how much of a force for good you could be and have already been. I hope God finds you. He will not give up on you. For all of those hurting, don't give up. Things can get better.

To all those that "get" this on a personal level, it gets better. This was me, I'm 54 now. There is a future and hope. Sending love 💖

"Do you hear me"?- 'yeah'. "Are you even listening to me"?-'I hear everything'. "Your always just sitting in your bed"!-I hate my life, and you don't want to hear what I have to say, the truth hurts, and I don't want to hurt you, I'm sorry. This is an incredible song

He just topped himself off..... Hope For The Underrated Youth music video finally has a competition 🥺🖤🖤🖤

This is me all the time and the song represents me

this is not a song, this is a fucking feeling i just can´t explain how much i fucking love this fucking song

yungblud: For anyone lying in their bedroom at 4am wondering why they aren't good enough me: yASSS finally someone dedicated a song to me

Dom is literally one of the most inspiring artists out there!! Anyone agree?

nun but love for him he saved my life so many times

sees yungblud with red hair: oh my god danger days

Just thinking about how many kids this'll help the way bands like mcr helped me

this song reminds me it’s gonna be alright 😔🤘🏼🖤

It’s 2am rn for me and I’m in tears watching this 😭

I'm crying because this is so accurate, i feel every single word.

'I wont let my insecurities, define who I am' ...... I wish it were that simple

I just found this song. Thank u. Im.51 and your music makes me so happy.

i think yungblud should make a movie like melanie martinez’s “k-12” and use the songs from this album:).

ik I'm not the only one who's experiencing this, but *hey heads up little dreamer. We'll conquer everything.*

Yes I agree we are very lucky to have him

Thankyou so much for making this song, it has helped me so much🙃💙

This could not have come at a better time

This guy is really sensitive, listening to his songs is like listening to yourself, and it's just so amazing coz that's what being a real person, and a real artist... it's reaching the people who listen to your lyrics, and Dom does it so naturally and so well. Love u so so much cutie, you're the best... really 🖤🖤

It comes in all ages not the only one that feels this way

this song lift me up, when I'm sad or feel alone, reminds me that there's God that always there for me, to give me hope and strength to solve my problems. 4:23

He’s really out here playing the music of my generation

I just love how his music brings me back to the 2010-2014 atm

This guy is SUPER Talented. WHat a voice!!!

He helps ppl of ALL ages, genres, skin colours, etc etc etc! THAT is WHAT sets him above and apart from other artists and HOW he connects with ALL OF US!!! 🖤🖤🖤

*everyone:* _dom's an angel! i'm going to cry._ *me:* *_that's what MCR wore in the music video for 'I'm Not Okay'._*

I feel this...
