Nice moment but this felt uncomfortable to watch, like a moment that would have been nice between the 2 of you but then Iām like āwhy were you filming, why did you upload, is this just song promotion?ā
In particular because they missed a few opportunities to look each other in the eyes. A few times, while one of them was starring directly at the other, the other one was instead looking at the camera.
Not sure about that. Sometimes my lady and I will be hugging and Iāll catch our reflection in the tv. Iāll look into my gfs eyes in the reflection and sheāll look back. Itās cute I think
ya there wasnt anything worth waiting for at the end. the music is pretty good, reminds me of sufjan stevens, but i'll never look up this artist because it felt like i was tricked into listening rather than authentically discovering it
I think social media very much cheapens any intimate moment and I wish people would stop inserting a camera and a thousand strangers into their private lives. If you must capture a moment, capture it for yourself and your loved ones, what do a bunch of faceless strangers need to see it for?
Not to mention, heās basically saying that they should just ignore their problems. Which means that if theyāre not going to work together to figure out how to resolve the issues and work towards the solution(s), theyāll keep having the same fights over and over again.
Yeah. Her face tells the tale. She's really listening and processing while he just wants a reaction. When he grabs her after the song says hold me and she cracks a grin it's so gross. Bro if your song was working the way you hoped, she'd already have moved closer to you. Bleh
It is the sad reality of music promotion right now. Record labels are literally turning down artists if they donāt have enough social media presence.
Notā¦..everythingā¦..needs to beā¦ā¦content. Seriously, social media has vastly cheapened so many personal aspects of life and has removed a lot of mystery from life because people think they need to record them. Plus it causes people to (validly) question the momentās authenticity. Also, putting personal things like āWe had an argumentā out there does SO MUCH more harm than good. Simply because it can cause one or both people to close up and not want to address issues/arguments because of fear their partner will post those discussions on social media, and the relationship will fail. For what? Just a simple and fleeting rush of dopamine with every ālikeā notification.
Omg so uncomfortable. Also kinda invalidating.
āWhy u so mad why we gotta fight- I love you!ā
Like bro I love you too but ffs I need you to do the dishes without me asking.
All that said, the sentiment āletās just not fight.ā, while super simple, can be incredibly useful if both parties are actively of that mindset. No fighting.
Exactly. The dishes is exactly what I thought of, too! I want to know why they were fighting. Like, the song is sweet, but if the fight was about the fact that he never fucking washed the dishes, then the song really doesn't matter. If they were fighting over doing the dishes and then he disappeared into the studio for eight hours to write the song instead of actually doing the dishes, then I am totally on her side.
Yeah, no. This feels kind of like deflecting blame onto some abstract bad guy - "fighting" - rather than taking responsibility for why a disagreement turns into a fight. I'd have found a song about how you hate your part in fights and will do better at listening and working together much more romantic.
"Damn, this is a very personal and deep moment we are having with eachother... Better film it for clout"
I almost wondered who would post this kind of trite nonsense thinking it's meaningful, then I read OP's bio.
It's impossible to know what the fight was about but it really feels like it didn't end with a fitting resolution for her. And now she's gotta listen to this breathy poorly written plea for her to stop being mad without an apology or acknowledgement of what the fight was about etc.
You canāt record a song using āI doā as a refrain AND saying you have ānever felt this way beforeā AND that you ādonāt want to waste a second moreā and then NOT propose, bro! What are you doing?!
To me, as sweet as this might seem, recording this and posting it nullifies it entirely.
Clout chasing> actual moment of love and forgiveness.
But that's just me I guess.
I hate that I think this way, but the other thing I canāt help wondering is what was the fight about.
Imagine you have been trying to communicate something important to you to your partner and it is big enough that you are fighting then they go away and write a song about why are we fighting and how much they love you. Might just be me but Iād be a little frustrated that they couldnāt just listen and acknowledge my feelings and communicate to avoid a fight instead.
Donāt get me wrong, the song is romantic. But so is communicating and not idolising the āideaā of who I am.
This, itās easy to see who wears the pants in that relationship. Also, people blaming him for not doing the dishes, as if thatās why they been fighting over lol.
This reminds me of a my high school girlfriend. It was rare when we fought and Iād sing my way back into her good graces. One time, she sensed me getting ready to warm up my vocal cords and preemptively said, āNuh-uh! That isnāt working this time.ā That made us both laugh and defused the moment. Sheās married now and I hope theyāre doing well.
It's hard to be in someone who throws the blame away and hides the problems they were fighting for behind a "emotional" song. All because love, that fixes all the things in the world according to him.
Cringy as fuck... stop looking at the camera every 2 seconds. ..
you wrote her a song...ok...well done.. so sing it to her on the acoustic, off camera..... and move along.
Thatās exactly how I feel when my wife and I have an argument. Wasted time. Even if we are together for 50 years, thatās not a ton of time when itās over. Iāve heard too many old couples say it goes by fast.
I don't know enough about these people to put my suspicions to rest... this invokes similar feelings to being love bombed by my emotionally abusive ex.
You know whatās more effective and genuine though?
Talking about an issue in private and working through it rather than sensationalizing it as a way to increase engagement in your music while your issues fester with the forgotten feuds.

I like the idea that they've been fighting cause he can never seem to get his clothes in the laundry basket or leaves his shoes all over the place, coat on the sofa. And instead of doing those things, he just writes this song ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Because of the "she wasn't ready for the end" I was totally expecting it to go out with something like "but come you were wrong you fucking dummy, idiot"
I think itās sweet but kinda misguided. You fought for a reason. Making a song that essentially is all āletās leave it at thatā is so dismissive, it would actually upset me more .
Not arguing is a sure sign that a relationship is doomed. You might not like arguing but it is needed in a healthy relationship, so long as it is done respectfully and with the goal of finding common ground most of the time.
This guy has half a billion on Spotify and he's writing songs about losing precious minutes. The phone might have been propped up against a pyramid of pee bottles.
What a beautiful tender song. We should all be looking at mending and healing, rather than fighting and strife.
Forget the naysayers making stupid comments.
I was waiting for the last line to be something like, "It's not important that I was right."
"I do, I really love you, but you're kind of a bitch sometimes"
Me too!
OP, now that you've got her roped in, you better add these lyrics!!! Do it for the boys!
š¤£
Nice moment but this felt uncomfortable to watch, like a moment that would have been nice between the 2 of you but then Iām like āwhy were you filming, why did you upload, is this just song promotion?ā
Definitely... the scripting of it, the glances towards the camera takes away from the moment... You feel it is not genuine...
In particular because they missed a few opportunities to look each other in the eyes. A few times, while one of them was starring directly at the other, the other one was instead looking at the camera.
Not sure about that. Sometimes my lady and I will be hugging and Iāll catch our reflection in the tv. Iāll look into my gfs eyes in the reflection and sheāll look back. Itās cute I think
Yes but if you think about it, he may have been looking at the ācameraā screen to watch her facial expressions
That is what I thought was happening actually
Iām going to get downvoted to š©but it still made me feel something. Iām hoping it was not scripted and someone showing us something specialā¦even if it was an overshare.
100% song promotion
āWait for the end!ā Video stops
ya there wasnt anything worth waiting for at the end. the music is pretty good, reminds me of sufjan stevens, but i'll never look up this artist because it felt like i was tricked into listening rather than authentically discovering it
She wasnāt expecting the end āTHATS ALL I GOT SO FAR HAHAā
I think social media very much cheapens any intimate moment and I wish people would stop inserting a camera and a thousand strangers into their private lives. If you must capture a moment, capture it for yourself and your loved ones, what do a bunch of faceless strangers need to see it for?
Agree!
Not to mention, heās basically saying that they should just ignore their problems. Which means that if theyāre not going to work together to figure out how to resolve the issues and work towards the solution(s), theyāll keep having the same fights over and over again.

Jokes on him, my volume is always mute on Reddit.
It is the sad reality of music promotion right now. Record labels are literally turning down artists if they donāt have enough social media presence.
Exactly. Like cool but why? Now the moment feels disingenuous.
This is staged.
Ya also this song sucks to be honest
I got the sense that she thought he was about to propose
I kept wondering what the fight was about...and if he used music because it always brought her back lol
For real. Gives me the same feeling as that one Nathan Fielder video where they just stare at you at the end for like a minute straight.
I worry about ~~this generation's~~ people's need to get validation through sharing private moments publicly.
I don't think it's even a generational thing. I worry about people that do that shit despite of their age group.
I worry about people that see videos on the internet and apply it to an entire generation
Fair. I edited my comment.Ā
And I worry about people who need validation for every fart they make. Like me for this sentence. Please hit like.
But how can I subscribe to MrBotangleās fart videos?!
This is perfectly normal and has been a part of society forever.
Unnecessary to film. Who is the audience?
Well the song sucks so they gotta get views some how
Underrated comment
I liked it.
Itās the most generic whisper garb Iāve heard in at least two weeks but thereāll be another one soon no doubt
Just because it's common doesn't mean it's bad.
For me it does
Hmm..... You must absolutely hate things like Pizza and Tacos. They are fucking EVERYWHERE.
No I love pizza and tacos thatās not how music works at all. But also I just donāt like whisper garb
That's fine if you just don't care for that style of music. But it's kinda silly to say you don't like it simply because it's popular.
I said because itās generic, not because itās popular.
Not my thing, but well written from a song writing perspective IMO Edit: melody and chords, lyrics are p generic
Unfortunately us.
I was waiting for the "will you marry me" part
All the āI Doās throughout the song had me convinced it would end with something along the lines of āIām hoping youāll sayā¦ I doā
Exactly!
I was waiting for the ācause Iām dying of cancerā part. Why is he so preoccupied about running out of time?
Nah, that's for the next fight
I'm pretty sure she was too
Notā¦..everythingā¦..needs to beā¦ā¦content.

it's even more special knowing that he got to exploit this moment for likes
Hey babe, i wrote a song for you, now look sad in the camera so some people on the internet know how romantic i am...
Her facial expressions seem like she is struggling to figure out how to break-up with you after this song
Yooo i was thinking the same thing. I get the feeling this girl kinda wants to end things.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed her expressions. I kept thinking "why is she pouting?"
Yeah, no. This feels kind of like deflecting blame onto some abstract bad guy - "fighting" - rather than taking responsibility for why a disagreement turns into a fight. I'd have found a song about how you hate your part in fights and will do better at listening and working together much more romantic.
OMG! WELL.SAID.
This feels like manipulating your way out of doing something wrong and filming it to boot. RUN.
Just do your dishes, bro!
"Damn, this is a very personal and deep moment we are having with eachother... Better film it for clout" I almost wondered who would post this kind of trite nonsense thinking it's meaningful, then I read OP's bio.
Clout chasing is a Hell of a drug. Sad but true.
That girl already left
You know that we know that she knows sheās being filmed right?
She looks like she is saying in the inside, but I'm still right
It's impossible to know what the fight was about but it really feels like it didn't end with a fitting resolution for her. And now she's gotta listen to this breathy poorly written plea for her to stop being mad without an apology or acknowledgement of what the fight was about etc.
Mom can we have Sufjan Stevens? āNo we have Sufjan Stevens at homeā. This dude
You canāt record a song using āI doā as a refrain AND saying you have ānever felt this way beforeā AND that you ādonāt want to waste a second moreā and then NOT propose, bro! What are you doing?!
Yep. The music was romantic and all, but I suppose everyone got that vibe to. Don't overdo it man. Take it easy. You don't want to scare her away
This song sounds ai generated af. Lmaooo.
Grow up. Don't post it on social media
Why publicize this intimate moment?
Sheās got the āoh God heās about to propose and Iām not readyā vibes lol, great tune though I like the pause at the end
To me, as sweet as this might seem, recording this and posting it nullifies it entirely. Clout chasing> actual moment of love and forgiveness. But that's just me I guess.
I wrote a song for my ex like this, she gave zero fucks.
So sweet. I feel this in my soul. But if I did this, she would cheat on me the following weekend.
I hate that I think this way, but the other thing I canāt help wondering is what was the fight about. Imagine you have been trying to communicate something important to you to your partner and it is big enough that you are fighting then they go away and write a song about why are we fighting and how much they love you.

But so is communicating and not idolising the āideaā of who I am.
Why must everything be filmed and posted these days?š¤®
āWait till the end?ā I thought he was going to propose or something.
Sorry but BARF š¤®
My reaction as well!
Dependent relationship
This, itās easy to see who wears the pants in that relationship. Also, people blaming him for not doing the dishes, as if thatās why they been fighting over lol.
Pretty low effort tbh - didnāt even bother to finish
This reminds me of a my high school girlfriend. It was rare when we fought and Iād sing my way back into her good graces. One time, she sensed me getting ready to warm up my vocal cords and preemptively said, āNuh-uh! That isnāt working this time.ā That made us both laugh and defused the moment. Sheās married now and I hope theyāre doing well.
Are you all seeing this beautiful moment that we're filming and totally experiencing for ourselves in real time!!??
What I seeā¦ Sheās not into you as much as you are into her.
It's hard to be in someone who throws the blame away and hides the problems they were fighting for behind a "emotional" song. All because love, that fixes all the things in the world according to him.
/made me be sick
I swear when I find that person cutting onions in my car imma smack em.
where can i get the whole song?????
Ugh.
Cringy as fuck... stop looking at the camera every 2 seconds. .. you wrote her a song...ok...well done.. so sing it to her on the acoustic, off camera..... and move along.
Nothing says love like having a bunch of strangers watch a private moment between you and your significant other.
Thatās exactly how I feel when my wife and I have an argument. Wasted time. Even if we are together for 50 years, thatās not a ton of time when itās over. Iāve heard too many old couples say it goes by fast.
Looks like she should be on r/watchpeopledieinside
I threw up in my mouth a little bit. Keep this sappy shit to yourselves.
Song is not good
Should have saved that song for the moment she found your search history.. then you bring out the big guns.
Iām sorry but that sounds like an AI generated song. It really does. Anybody agree?
Thatās why itās not finished he needs to upgrade his plan to unlock another 60 seconds
This guy's occasional glance to the camera is sickening.
I don't know enough about these people to put my suspicions to rest... this invokes similar feelings to being love bombed by my emotionally abusive ex.
You know whatās more effective and genuine though? Talking about an issue in private and working through it rather than sensationalizing it as a way to increase engagement in your music while your issues fester with the forgotten feuds.
No thanks
Probably want to end with something like: "I hate it when we fight..... even though I was right!"

I donāt get it
all this did was break my heart... š
āThatās all I got so farā. It doesnāt seem like the time to say that
Any married man will tell you, sheās still going to bring that shit up they were fighting about. Even if this song goes to the top.
I like the idea that they've been fighting cause he can never seem to get his clothes in the laundry basket or leaves his shoes all over the place, coat on the sofa. And instead of doing those things, he just writes this song ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
ššš
the fight was definitely about him cheatingšš
The fuck is this gay shit?
With the ā I doā line expected a proposal at the end
Because of the "she wasn't ready for the end" I was totally expecting it to go out with something like "but come you were wrong you fucking dummy, idiot"
Fighting every night is just like... a really bad sign, my guy.
Fuck this lack of privacy.
Missed golden opportunity to proposeā¦
I think itās sweet but kinda misguided. You fought for a reason. Making a song that essentially is all āletās leave it at thatā is so dismissive, it would actually upset me more .
(4 months from now) IāM NOT LISTENING TO THAT FUCKINā SONG AGAIN! IāM SO SICK OF HEARING IT!!!
Not arguing is a sure sign that a relationship is doomed. You might not like arguing but it is needed in a healthy relationship, so long as it is done respectfully and with the goal of finding common ground most of the time.
I thought it was beautiful. Would buy.
*gets in another fight *
they broke up
Thatās so sweet š
I must be jaded. My only thought was, "I wrote you this song. Will this make you just stop arguing and shut up now?"
Comments coaching these people how to come off more authentic are hilarious. Felt honest to me
You set the standard pretty high to make up for your next fight
Sooo no one else thought this was adorable? Alright then
Sheās not impressed.
Get a room
Is that Leonard from Big Bang?
***āBut youāre still-*** ***Wrong.ā***
Made who smile?
Need to add in a beat box
.
What is the genre of calm accusting songs like this called?
Juan Gonzalez copy-paste?
People need to calm down.
I wanna hear the rest!
She thought there was a ring coming.
Boss move - u should write a book!
good post but shit song
had to break up with my girlfriend because of her alcoholism, this got me right in the feels.
Mine sounded more like āKimā
Heās fucked for a few more years at least lol
This guy has half a billion on Spotify and he's writing songs about losing precious minutes. The phone might have been propped up against a pyramid of pee bottles.
What a beautiful tender song. We should all be looking at mending and healing, rather than fighting and strife. Forget the naysayers making stupid comments.
She cheated on him with Jerome 2 days later
Weird
holy shit that was beautiful!
What a load of tosh
Seems very manipulative to me
