Be Calm
send in the clowns
If you have an anxiety attack I recommend playing this and “the middle”
Perfect for a Villbur/Evil Wilbur Animatic haha
As I walk through the streets of my new city
My back feeling much better, I suppose
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
For better or for worse, I've yet to know, but I
Always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Suddenly I'm lost
On my street
On my block
Oh why, Oh why
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
This time I think it's for real, I can see
All the tree tops turning red
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
I think they want something
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
And be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
Be calm.
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
"I always see you looking out your window."
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Now every single crack every penny that I pass,
Says I should either leave or pick it up
But with every single buck I've made
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
The moment I was baptized
Or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
If only I could find my people or my place in life
And when they came a'carolin'
So loud, so bright, the theremin
Will lead us to a chorus
Where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
And everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.
I don't remember much that night,
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
From that street corner came a song
And I can't remember the man,
The panhandler or his melody.
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.
Oh be calm, be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
Oh I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it still thinks you're alive
And everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm, be calm.
I've only heard the popular bangers like some nights and we are young. I can't believed I only recently found this, it's too good
Why is this time hearing this song
Calm
Sounds like American Venom in the background in the middle of the song
2020?
I had to listen to this song when I found out my 12 page paper got deleted off my computer the night before it was due and my whole family was telling me to stop crying
2020 anyone?
At least Beatles fans have a fucking decade of albums to listen to. Us? We have 20 some odd songs total. People say it all started with Harambe, but we know our culture’s decline truly began with
“hi guys,”
My FU Game Rip my Off Every Time I Die Song, plus some deeper BS 🙂
Anyone else here "Phantom of the Opera" during the verses?
omg i can't believe this was 10 years back, i'm 20 now and i used to play their songs all day long when i was 10..nostalgia almost has me crying
11 years to the day guys 🙁
This is what my brain sounds like.
When I have homework
And I have done only 0% of it.
And it's an hour until school starts.
And if I don't do my homework I'd get punished.
Amazing
11 years later this is still a bop
If 2020 was a song
two years later and I still dont know how I managed to submit this song as a "song that describes you" assignment to my english teacher without being send to a guidance counselor
Surely the intro is sampled from Layla by Eric Clapton
oh be mad and happy @ cookouts its all Fun!
this is better than 'Some Nights' imo
Cette musique est un pure bonheur ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ elle me rend dingue waouh….!
Bruh why does this feel like it could be a Disney song or song for Disney lmao but still good song
Bruh why does this feel like it could be a Disney song or song for Disney lmao but still good song
The E5 before the final chorus gets me every time, Nate's vocal range is genuinely so impressive
I love this song !!!!!!
i miss You guys
Thanks, Virgil.
Where are you guys now 🙁 Come back please!! You don't have idea how much I miss this amazing band <3
Finding this video actually changed my life and the direction it was headed, and I feel it's finally fitting to tell that story here almost nine years later.
I was 15 back in 2012. To give a short background on me, I had grown up under the roof of a metalhead and pretty much exclusively listened to music within that genre (being raised on Sabbath & Maiden, at the time was listening to Avenged Sevenfold and similar bands of the sort.) As well as this, I never really considered myself to be an artistic person of any sort. I was an anxious, insecure kid that suffered a lot of bullying and verbal troubles in my home, and really only coped with all of that playing CoD and doing average middle-class white kid stuff.
Anyways, I had just finished my last final of freshman year of high school, I remember it being a wonderful, carefree day. No more school, Minecraft had just come out on the 360, Dad was having friends over and made really good sandwiches, etc. Towards the end of the day, I was listening to music on Youtube, and the song White Sky by Vampire Weekend had reappeared in my head for the first time in well over a year. I never listented to music like this, but my bible teacher from a previous year used to play music of that sort, anything ranging from them, to Sufjan, and funny enough, Walking the Dog by fun. In particular, I hadn't heard Walking the Dog in a long time, and I didn't remember the name of the song, but I remembered the melody. And after scouring my brain for any lyrics, I finally found the song. Wasn't my favorite song in the world, but it did bring back wonderful memories.
I'm not sure if autoplay was a thing back in those days, but for whatever reason I ended up accidentally clicking on Be Calm, this particular video of it to be exact. I had never heard a song like it before, one that had such a wonderful story and progressed in the way it did. I remember feeling so entranced and mystified by the song, so much so that I sat on this video clicking repeat for the next four or five hours, just listening. Keep in mind, my attention span has always been trash, so sitting and listening to a song (even to this day) without doing anything else is incredibly rare for me.
But ever since that moment, life for the next year or so literally felt like a coming of age film. I found a group of wonderful friends that truly showed me what love is, and taught me so many avenues of self expression. This was 2012 going into 2013, so Some Nights was on the radio, as well as The Lumineers and all around music that fit all those moments too. I fell in love with a wonderful girl (that I never dated and still have feelings for to this day pathetically enough but still lol), started going to plays, writing and reading poetry, writing my own music, going on spontaneous adventures, you name it. Hell, even nearly all my classes in school had some form of artistic expression within them somehow. I don't think I could ever truly put into words how perfectly the world seemed to spin in my favor for that time in my life. I still experienced sadness, sure, but without that time in my life I know for a fact that I wouldn't be even a fraction of who I am today.
Fast forward to now, I'm 23, a college dropout, struggled with substance abuse and made a lot of shitty decisions in the past four years, and currently feel the most depressed, hopeless, and alone I've ever felt in my life, all from my own doing. This may seem like a drastic tone shift, and it certainly is. But I wanted to tell this story because I think about giving up on everything, everyday. I've lost every way I know how to run and mask my pain, which is all I ever really knew how to do, even during that wonderful time. But for the fucked up experiences I've had in my life, I've also had wonderful ones that have made it all worth it, this story in particular. Anytime I hear this song and anything from fun. and the Format, it reminds me of my 15 year old self, finding this video and beginning the new chapter in my life. I was showered with love and and new wonders at every turn, enough that I might write a book on it someday when I have a working memory. I was skeptical of God and fate for many years, but having lived through what I have, I believe in these new chapters and opportunities, as well as these scars telling wonderful stories when all is said and done.
I type all this (and my story) because I saw how love changed me, and as much as I get depressed and think about taking my own life, it fills me with despair and sadness thinking that anyone might feel similarly. Love is an unbound force that can change anyone and anything, and the wonders that are entailed for our personal experiences is something I believe is worth living and fighting for. I urge you to please reach out for help if you're ever feeling alone or suicidal, there is always someone out there who wants to be your crutch, no matter what the circumstance. You never know what person you might fall in love with, you never know the wonders and virtues await your future. And you never know what video you might accidentally click on. If you've read this far, thank you for reading my story, and if you need someone to reach out to, feel free to reply to this comment and I'll find a way.
FUCK this song and album was such a big part of my life in 10th grade, I can't even put it into words but somehow this song helped me so much when I would have panic attacks
my type of songs are either..
the ones that gives you the soft and pleasant feeling that feels like youre vibing with a friend or two under a starry night on top of the roof
or the ones you listen to when youre on the brink of depression and results in a breakdown any minute now and overthink everything and youre scared
either is nice
I will now listen to this when I have a panic attack yes I get panic attacks at age 10
Came back to this after 7 years and I still remember Evey single word.
Nate fucking P O P P E D O F F
people that hate this song are imo the same meh people i shoot in my FPS … love you guys , but one care about your real shit:)
this song hits different when you have generalized anxiety disorder
