Top Comments of this video!! :3
My friend is aro, and she gets really sad about it sometimes. She said she feels like she is missing out on everyone and everything. She feels like she has no love inside her anywhere, and she is often shy and secluded and I am her only friend. So I did a piano cover of this song, (I can sing pretty well) and I sent it to her when she was feeling down. Just the simple few lines ”lifes to short to worry about things we did wrong so hug all your friends, and let them know you're not letting go” meant so, so much to her. She's a happier person, and she is feeling so much better about being herself. She learned the harmony parts, so we sing together. ❤️

I just wanted to let you know:
The first time I heard this song was when this video was uploaded and I was in 8th grade
I’m in 11th grade now and a lovely girl brought her ukulele to school and was playing this song (just the chords) and I had a huge flashback to when I listened to this song when I needed love
Now my best friend is hurting and I’m able to send this to him. That’s huge Robbie and that means the world to me

this song makes me cry so hard
a few days ago, I saw my favorite(and frankly only)friend walk into the bathroom after class. I actually went to quickly talk to him (he is transgender but the school makes him use the girl's bathroom, and I had to go to the bathroom too) since we don't have any classes together. I ran in after him, and when I walked in, my world crashed down. He had one leg swung out the open window, getting ready to jump. It was two stories, he wouldn't even die. I grabbed him, wrapping my arms around his torso and dragging him back. I screamed for help, while he kicked and struggled. I don't know where in my weak body that strength came from, but I guess it was adrenaline. A teacher came running, and called the police and my friend's parents. The teacher shut and locked the windows and told me to watch my friend while the she ran to get help. After she was gone, my friend cried and pushed me over. He screamed at me, "What the hell? Why did you do that? Do you not want me to be happy? Fuck you! I thought you wanted me to be happy! I hate you!"
The rest of it is kinda fuzzy. All I know is that he is in a mental hospital somewhere, and that I'm not allowed to know. I also know he will never come back to school, and that we'll probably never meet again. I was in a state of shock for a while.
The lyrics "So hug all your friends and let them know, you're not letting go. No, I won't let go." always makes me cry. In that moment, I didn't know I was crying. I didn't feel my legs and arms being hit repeatedly, all I knew in that moment was "don't let go, don't let go, don't let go..."
And now I am left with bruises, an aching heart, and the nagging feeling that I could've have done something sooner. I knew he was depressed, but I never knew what to do. And now guilt is eating away at me. I miss him a lot.
But it also brings about some kind of weird fuzzy feeling. You voice and playing go so well together, and even with a song that is kinda dark like this one, it feels so welcoming and friendly. Cavetown, this song is my home.

this song makes me cry every time I listen to it. my best friend has tried to commit suicide three times. she doesn’t realize how much she means to me, if she wasn’t here, I wouldn’t be here either. sometimes I just go up to her and give her the biggest hug because of this song because of how much I love her and how much she means to me. she’s getting better, and hasn’t committed or self harmed in a while. thank you.
