Oh my God thank you so much for doing this video. We’ve been doing this for eight years and I so can relate to everything you’re saying.

I loved hearing your excitement with your day job with Northend Entertainment. The best part of a day job is exactly that. Working in a team, learning from others. Even if you move on to something else one day I've enjoyed your time here ive been here from near the beginning of the channel 😅

I love your videos, they have really opened up my eyes to deeper musical exploration. I hope you take all the time you need in your personal life and I hope you're doing well <3

Hey Harrison, I've been subscribed and watching your videos for probably 5 years now. I'm not one to leave comments but I, like the other people leaving comments, may just appear like numbers on a screen, but behind these words are real people whose lives you've impacted with your insights and recommendations.
I'm sure that I don't have to tell you the impact that music can have on people's lives, and your taste in music, more than anyone else, resonates with me the most, so I'm truly grateful for every video that you have made.
Other than the music recommendations, I always appreciated the personal tid bits that you share about your life and the stories that you connect with the music; you strike me as a guy pursuing a hobby, rather than an "influencer" trying to maintain a certain image.
I understand that you don't want to have the pressure of sharing something deeply personal that may not land with your audience or the algorithm, but i would still love it if you could share some of your finds occasionally, be it new or old songs. Perhaps even just a Spotify playlist for your fans who like your recommendations without the judgement or the stress that comes with dealing with a platform like YouTube.
Anyways, wherever life takes you, know that you are loved and cherished.
Peace and love brother ✌️

PLEASE talk about Jeanny by Falco. Its in german, but very very dark. The lyrics are not what people think

Still here, man. I've always loved your content. In fact, every so often, I come back to your Top 100 Favorite Songs series to discover new stuff. I distinctly remember finding out about Asaf Avidan from that (and my favorite band Modern Baseball! Thank you!!!). Thanks for sticking around. You're a good guy. Please never stop.

I honestly don’t mind how much you post. I mean I’m used to you posting like once every three months or maybe if I’m lucky once every two months that’s that’s good gives me something to look forward to but if you actually did a video while every like two weeks, then I quickly become overwhelmed with all of your content.

Fyi:
Second thought is a fascist who defends fascism so not sure why you feel the need to endorse his channel?

One of the things that I love about your channel is the palpable love you have for music. We’ll take that however you present it, and if it means you get more rest and more time between videos, the wait is more than worth it!

I started to get into music a couple years ago and I found your chanel around that time. Thank you for all of the art that you put me on. Absolutely by Dijon was my favorite album for a while because of you. It shaped my year in 2022. Friend, I wish you well. Again, thank you.

Hey, you were a big inspiration for me when I decided to open a music channel 3 years ago (I think I even sent you an Instagram dm back when I had less than 500 subs). Now that Youtube turned into my job as well, I related so much to what you said in this video that I am kind of scared now.
I have bigger plans in my life of course, I know the channel won't last forever; but watching this from one of my biggest idols really made me think about how much work I'm putting into this and what I could be missing.
Anyways, thank you so much for being this transparent and for everything you indirectly did for me! I wish you the best man
Always Forward.

Hey I do YouTube full time and i relate so much to your opening piece. Working your ass off not knowing how it'll be recieved is seriously a big mental hurdle that's hard to overcome. Thanks for speaking out about this it was very relatable and good luck going forward

Keep going man, love your analysis of music. Context has so been lost, I felt same about Boygenius. Should celebrate that LGBT+ perspective even more

I've been subbed to you for about a year and trust me, even though I don't make videos I get where you're coming from. Thank you for introducing me and my friend to so much good music and thank you for helping me realize how beautiful the world of music is. You're great and I know this is way easier said than done but all the mean comments, there's just as many people that love your content and appreciate you as a person <3

I listened to this video while my mom screamed at me to be patient cause I wanted to make eggs and she was cleaning, i began to get impatient but I watched this while I sat on the couch and waited for her to finish. I then proceeded to make those eggs, it made me anxious cause my mom said if i’m gon to share those eggs with my brother. I stopped the video so I could put on some music and focus on the eggs so I could relax while making said eggs. I then proceeded to serve the eggs and sat down while tortillas burned on the stove and got bored of the music I was listening to. While eating the eggs so then I thought it would be the perfect time to finish said video so I did that and it was nice and peaceful about the last 10 minutes of the video. And thought dang these eggs are mine but maybe I should share those eggs with my brother And this video encapsulated that whole thought process for me. I then saved my brother some eggs: the end. And thank u good video lol. Also the random review thrown in there made me laugh roller coaster of emotions fr thank u truly wishing u a good day 😭

that goal was an absolute banger bro what the hell upper 90 from that far off is crazy. I hope everything gets better from here on, you are an amazingly talented Youtuber and your passion for music is always evident. I feel like people who don't do Youtube (myself included) never truly know the extent as to how much work and criticism comes along with a job like this so thank you for sharing the things you've been going through.
