Top Comments of this video!! :3
I first heard this song in a YouTube short and totally thought it was from a musical. āAm I going crazy? Would I even know? Am I right back where I started fourteen years ago?ā Just sounds like such a sick line. You are truly a gift. I found and watched all of Inside recently and am in love! ā¤

So long, goodbye
I'll see you when I see you
You can pick the street
I'll meet you on the other side
So long, goodbye
Do I really have to finish?
Do returns always diminish?
Did I say that right?
Does anybody want to joke when no one's laughing in the background?
So this is how it ends
I promise to never go outside again
So long, bye!
I'm slowly losing power
Has it only been an hour?
No, that can't be right
So long, goodbye
Hey, here's a fun idea
How 'bout I sit on the couch and I watch you next time?
I wanna hear you tell a joke when no one's laughing in the background
So this is how it ends
I promise to never go outside again
Am I going crazy?
Would I even know?
Am I right back where I started fourteen years ago?
Wanna guess the ending? If it ever does
I swear to God that all I've ever wanted was
A little bit of everything, all of the time
A bit of everything, all of the time
Apathy's a tragedy, and boredom is a crime
I'm finished playing, and I'm staying inside
If I wake up in a house that's full of smoke
I'll panic, so call me up and tell me a joke
When I'm fully irrelevant and totally broken, damn it
Call me up and tell me a joke
Oh, shit, you're really joking at a time like this?
Well, well, look who's inside again
Went out to look for a reason to hide again
Well, well, buddy, you found it
Now come out with your hands up
We've got you surrounded

Art is so important. Don't let a goddamn soul tell you your art isn't worth anything just because you're not in front of a huge audience and times are tough. The hardships you are enduring as an artist are because what you are doing is POWERFUL.
To stay Inside is to accept that you'll suffer... but you'll also never be able to get enough of it. Make peace with that, and go bring comfort to this shattered world. Your work may be the last thread someone is holding onto for hope for humanity.

āIf I wake up in a house thatās full of smoke, Iāll panic,
so call me up and tell me a joke.
When Iām fully irrelevant and totally broken, damn it,
call me up and tell me a joke.
Oh shit, youāre really joking at a time like this.ā
That part hits me a little too hard each time.
The original song was about how his efforts to cheer up people would be ineffective against such great suffering (racism, class struggle, global warming, capitalism, war, covidā¦).
Now itās about him eventually being unable to handle all the tragedy and needing someone else to come cheer him up, even if itās something āineffectiveā like a joke.
In the first song the tone was:
āSomeone could extinguish the fire, but instead they decided to do something small.ā
Now the same line feels like:
āThe house has already burned down. There is no saving the house, but maybe, you could distract and comfort me from reality for a short while.ā
It just fills me with a very specific kind of sadness. The kind you might feel if youāre at the top floor of a burning building, knowing the whole thing will collapse in a few minutes.
It feels resigned but also accepting.
A small speck of relief in a sea of mourning and loss.

I put off watching this Special on Netflix for months. I watched it Early in January of 2022. It was poignant, and made me reflect on a lot of my habits, social connections (or lack thereof), and isolating depression. Then the following week my childhood friend and one of my best friends suddenly died in her sleep. A lot of the songs carry a big meaning for me even if they didn't intend to be a part of such an event. I found myself thinking of them whenever I heard songs that reflect on how I failed to repair the friendship we had before it was too late. The following month my Father told me he had terminal Cancer. 2022 was not a good year for me, and I'm doing everything I can to not use the pain as an excuse find myself inside again. Thank you Mr. Burnham for putting out such strangely meaningful music. Being critical of yourself and the world will always be painful, but it is necessary to accept and to better yourself and the world you're in. I know those I lost would want me to do that, so I will.

So GOOD!

Crazy how much changes in two years. Went from a loser with no prospects who almost died from an overdose to someone with a decent career and decent future (maybe we'll see how long it lasts). Bo is a great artist hope he comes out with something new but if he doesnt that's ok just hope he is doing ok.

What a finale. Calling back to every big song in the special was genius, but for me the best part was "look whose inside again". Literally gave me chills.
