Watch more of Lauv’s music videos at lauv.lnk.to/OMVplaylist

Lauv probably showing us his life as someone who's famous and having all the love from family, friends, and his fans but there will always be times that despite all of those things, you still find yourself feeling empty.

I feel like this is the most realistic music video I’ve ever watched. Idk it just made me feel real emotional. This generation just flicks from one app to another trying to find someone to talk to or something to do and we all know that that ain’t that fun but we all scared of turning off from it all just in case we miss something important. The pressure of it all is just so overwhelming and scary especially if your famous. Lauv you did such a good job at expressing it through the song and the music video I just can’t stop crying smiling 😭😭

This is the most relatable piece of art of our generation right now.

I dunno man but this guy's music gives me hope that there's more to life

So beautiful. I love how at the end he ended up facetiming his parents after ignoring them throughout the video because he realised they are the ones who at the end of the day will always be there for him even when the spotlight won't be on him. This is such a good and relatable song, Lauv. Our generation tends to hide our insecurities by jumping from one app to another and feed our loneliness by looking for validation on social media by trying to post relatable and trendy content. Anyways, congratulations on this song and the album. Absolutely loved it!

I love how he went from really depressed to actually going outside for a walk... Picking calls and texting back... There is hope for our generation.

I wanna hug him so bad. And tell him whatever hes going through everyones there for him.

moment of silence for that pillow

I think he is the best singer in the world

If this isn’t an eye opener on how social media is affecting us and our loved ones idk what is. Love this man with my whole heart.

Lauv is the one who can pen down any kind of feeling in this world. He is gifted to easily express some of the most complex emotions. He is a gem. I love him. Bye.

I wanna give him a hug. I wanna give everyone a hug. HUGS TO EVERYBODY

Lauv uses dark mode in insta? He's a man of culture as well..

This really shows how, when all those cheers left people like him are just like any average people, we all have the same concerns and desires... This song is the most relateable that i've ever heard and listening to it gives me literally so much comfort💛

The fact that you did this when you could have just left it and used quarantine as an excuse is incredible. Getting us involved and doing it all from home just shows how much you care. Thank you so much for making this and for giving us such an incredible song.

i think I understand the loneliness he's talking about. this is the 'happy' sadness. you're happy but you're not sure if you're happy on purpose and if the dark part of your heart will ever go away. you're happy but you're always afraid the darkness will return one day, plunging you into something you won't be able to return from. you are always looking for something to blow you away. but nothing excites or surprises you anymore.

I felt this so much. This is literally me on a daily basis. Ari, whatever you’re going through, allow yourself to feel through it and to process it. Even with all the isolation going on, or without it, It’s okay to feel isolated. But, remember that there’s a whole world of people who love you and are there for you. Remember that your music has helped a lot of people, including myself. I have so much respect for you as an artist, and as a person. I respect that you don’t try to hide how you feel, and that you shine a spotlight on these deep feelings everyone tries to mask in fear that they’re negative. Thank you SO much, Ari. Keep being you. We’ll get through this. ❤️

I'm just happy to see how lucky he is cause he still got a call from his dad

This just shows that celebs go through the same insecurities as we do and they’re just normal people with feelings too

The saddest thing is no matter how much you rely on the social media apps the people that will show up for you at your loneliest moments is your parents.

Holy shit I almost cried, I just feel like this is my current situation. Not living the reality but distracting myself with social media 🥺 Edit: Thanks for the likes guys ❤️

This man has created such an atmosphere for this world.

Lauv is so humble and down to earth. He really makes sure to interact with his fans and make em feel special. You're so giften lauv. We love you so much!! 😭💙💙

"Love my friends to death, but I never call, I never text." Felt that so bad. Sometimes we are so caught up in our own shit that we don't even have words to explain the problems we face. Also we don't want to burden them with our feelings but we love them so much, even the thought of them makes us smile in the hard times but expressing problems to them can be hard at times. I really loved the genuiness of this song, made me feel things at a whole diff level.💕 Lotssss of love to lauv and the people suffering from mental trauma :)))‹3

The way he watches covers,tiktoks of his songs is just incredible.That just shows how much he loves and appreciate everyone. He deserves more. Much love for Lauv.

Its absolutely heart breaking to know That the most beautiful people are sometimes the most insecure ones. That all the fans in this world fail to see the emptiness eating them. The most difficult task is to remain happy, when you're not. I wonder why people treat happiness as a goal. Its not, at least in my eyes. Its an emotion, You don't always have to look happy and beautiful to find love. In fact, how do you know they are going to love you truly if they don't know what you look, feel, sound like when you're a mess.

Shame on those 47 people who disliked this vid. PERIOD.

for anyone that is listening to this song , Sorry to disturb your scrolling, we don't know each other but i wish you all the best in life and may all things work in your favor.Your not alone.I love you all Thank you I hope you have a good day.

I don't know why but towards the end of the video I just randomly burst into tears. I don't know how Lauv does it, but he somehow manages to make the most inexplicable feelings into beautiful songs that people can relate to, and I admire him for that. So thank you Ari, for making my life and day feel a less hectic and a little more meaningful.💓🙏😊

At this moment I might think this is related to his activities during lockdown, but at the same time it shows what modern loneliness is about. Anyway, it's funny to see the pillow thrown away.. and I had no idea before he has Tinder and TikTok account. And the fact how he ignored his parents called and judging from his expression but in the end they finally did video call is nice..

"You have three new matches" Cant relate

I feel so emotional whenever I watch this! This is real. Even if we have everyone around us who loves us; cares for us and appreciates us but still sometimes we just feel so empty. Not because we are not loved; but because honestly we dont love ourselves and just doubt everything and think we dont deserve the things we have. It's just so heartbreaking that we love others but dont love our own selves. And it's not just me or him; its everyone. I just hope we all learn to love ourselves for who we are. I love him and his music so much. Every song is so beautifully written; produced and sung.

If this is just to point out that people use social media waaay too much, then I agree. People tend to forget about the ones that were always there for them from the start. To really see this in the form of this song I swear I feel more compelled to say "I love you" more. So thanks for that. 👍👍

The moment he reject his father’s call hurts me... a lot. But the ending makes it up. Love it! 😉

It's sad when you know that this is also your reality. We look through social media and we forget how it feels to be happy. We feel lonely and everything is just so hard to handle... But you're not alone and no matter what's going on, you'll get out of it better and stronger. You've got this! You're amazing and I believe in you! I'm sending lots of love to everyone ❤️

I had met Lauv outside the venue of an Ed Sheeran Mumbai concert in the November of 2017 where he performed the opening act for Ed. One of the most humble and down to earth person you'll ever meet...He wasn't so famous back then and people had barely heard of him. But never have I ever imagined that this guy's music would play such an instrumental role in my life. This song will always remain close to my heart though I've lost the pic that I had clicked with him😣 Good lord it all feels like a dream now...

Yeah, he’s a famous singer, but yet, he’s just a person who feels loneliness sometimes like us. Well yeh this is just some shit comin out from my mind, anyways WE LOVE YOU LAUV

Hi Lauv, I don’t know if you are going to see this, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for you music! For me, I’m kinda picky with the music I listen to and it’s hard to find a music artist who all of the songs I like. There’s not one song you’ve made that I don’t like! Your wonderful masterpieces always make me feel better and they got me through lots of tough times. Thank you so much once again! We Lauv you 💜💕🥺

my favorite song and my favorite artist singer and artist

I just love the way it ends. You reject their calls but at the end you find solace with them.

This man is a treasure and we probably don't deserve him

Those unread messages from your parents. Damn that felt hard. I hope everyone else who sees this gets to realize and appreciate their parents more and I hope it's not too late.

Just done watching Ashley's recent video aka "bestdressed". This song perfectly fits the mood of her video, actually.. the mood of everyone right now. I hope you all are safe. Virtual hug (>•_•>)

to everyone who are sad, depressed, empty, not knowing where you stand in life right now, i just wanna tell you how beautiful you actually are, inside and out, and i hope all of u know that you are not alone, you can make it through one day, you are strong, i believe in all of you

Lauv , Lany , Troye and Jeremy are my favourite. Imagine if they collab 😭💙

This is exactly what everyone needed to see 👌🏻 So easy to let social media let you forget about what's important

This hit so hard. We all are trying to find happiness on our phones, staying updated on our fave celebrities, looking at what's trending... not realizing that the ones that matters are just besides us, the ones that matter are actually the people waiting for us to update them with our lives.

Lauv, you’re born for a reason. Thank you for being so real, human and authentic. I love you so much and thank you for constantly inspiring the youth and spreading all the good energy you're spreading. Please keep telling more stories through your music. I love you so much!

Lauv and Jeremy zucker should colab together!!!!

who the hell are the three people who disliked this i just wanna talk

This made me tear up.. . This song honestly seems like it's coming from a very genuine place.. Loved it absolutely ❤ no words

Lucky are those people who are included in the Mv

We all carry that emptiness it can be seen in the eyes.

The 58 people that disliked this have 12 hours of screen time a day

lauv probably showing us that loniless can be in anyone, despite of being a popular artist and receiving a lots of love to his fans and friends and families u will still feel lonely, empty and prob depressed

why do i have a heavy feeling that lauv is actually depressed :( i want him to know he’s worth it!

I must admit I cried watching this.... As someone dealing with depression myself, I connected so much. I've been avoiding talking to my dad during quarentine, this made me think that maybe I should give it a try and call him :(

Why isn’t this trending?! KZbin’s broken.

Pretty lonely and depressed, but watching this definitely cheered me up quite a bit, seeing that even when someone's a big star like Lauv, they go through the same things sometimes. Thank you Ari for existing & creating this video; you're a light in so many people's lives and you don't even know it ♥.

Idk why but I'm not feeling alone watching this video, it's just that I feel like he's showing me what his life looks like -and for that I feel included. Thank you Lauv!

The last part really made me cry. I think I've been in mandatory isolation for a month now and even though we talk every day I miss my parents a lot. I want to go to lunch like I used to every Sunday, hug them and watch a soccer game. I know that their health is more important and, to all of you who read, please stay home.

Yeah everyone uses tinder. Me : depressed after using tinder

I feel this on a spiritual level. The times are getting tougher and my mental health is getting worse. But sometimes I see a little glimmer of hope in the form of a good song or a music video that I like and this song makes me feel that way. #lotsoflauv❤

This is the most relatable music video ever - also props to Lauv for dropping this right now to make us feel a little less lonely together! 🌹

Moral value: indahnya dicintai daripada berharap akan perasaan yg berbeda. Terkadang kita lupa bahwa di sekitar kita banyak yg mencintai kita. Tapi mungkin terkadang kita bosan dengan mereka. Kita berharap menemukan perasaan yg berbeda dengan orang yg berbeda dengan mengacuhkan orang2 yg selalu ada buat kita. Berpura2 menikmati hidup untuk menarik perhatian yg lain. Aslinya tidak semenikmati itu. Pada akhirnya kita merasa frustasi dengan harapan kita yg tinggi itu. Akan ada suatu masa dimana kita harus menengok ke belakang dan sadar bahwa ada banyak orang yg menunggumu di sana. Hilangkan ekspektasi yg berlebihan dalam hidupmu. Itu membunuhmu secara perlahan.. Tidak bermaksud buruk. Hanya ingin berpendapat. Karena ini adalah aku. Akan selalu ada yang mencintaimu bagaimanapun kamu. Jadilah diri kamu sendiri dan cintailah dirimu. Love yourself first. And I love you ♡

"love my friends to death but i never call and i never text" I truly understand that, and i feel like texting is not genuine, like if you say lol with a straight face it is not genuine. This is bad because i check my texts but don't reply often, and then they think as if i'm ignoring and i don't want to talk to them. This ruins the relationship and then i feel like trash. I then fall into a very sad mood, as if it was all my fault. I feel this song all because of that.

I think Lauv is the most down to earth (famous) person I ever know. I love him. ❤️

i love that lauv is so honest with his lyrics. truly a one of a kind artist💗

[Verse 1] I've been thinkin' 'bout my father lately The person that he made me The person I've become And I've been trying to fill all of this empty But, fuck, I'm still so empty Yeah, I could use some love [Pre-Chorus] And I've been trying to find a reason to get up Been trying to find a reason for this stuff In my bedroom and my closet The baggage in my heart is still so dark [Chorus] Modern loneliness We're never alone, but always depressed, yeah Love my friends to death But I never call and I never text, yeah La-di-da-di-da Yeah, you get what you give and you give what you get, so Modern loneliness We love to get high, but we don't know how to come down [Verse 2] If I could break my DNA to pieces Rid of all my demons If I could cleanse my soul Then I could fill the world with all my problems But, shit, that wouldn't solve them So, I'm left here alone [Pre-Chorus] And I've been trying to find a reason to get up I'm trying to find a reason for this stuff In my bedroom and my closet The baggage in my heart is still so dark [Chorus] Modern loneliness We're never alone, but always depressed, yeah Love my friends to death But I never call and I never text 'em La-di-da-di-da Yeah, you get what you give and you give what you get, so Modern loneliness We love to get high, but we don't know how to come down [Post-Chorus] Down, down, down, down, down We don't know how to come down Down, down, down, down, down We don't know how to come down Down, down, down, down, down We don't know how to come down Down, down, down, down, down We don't know how to come down [Chorus] Modern loneliness We're never alone, but always depressed, yeah Love my friends to death But I never call and I never text 'em La-di-da-di-da Yeah, you get what you give and you give what you get, so Modern loneliness We love to get high, but we don't know how to come down [Post-Chorus] Down, down, down, down, down We don't know how to come down Down, down, down, down, down We don't know how to come down Down, down, down, down, down (I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin') We don't know how to come down (Please don't wake me up) Down, down, down, down, down (I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin', I'm dreamin') We don't know how to come down (Please don't wake me up) [Outro] Modern loneliness We're never alone, but always depressed, yeah

I feel like this song describes the life of popular people. Popular, praised by a lot, but always feeling empty in the inside

omg i cant wait Lauv if you ever read this i just want you to know that you have inspired me so much and i just wanna say thank you for all the hard work you put into what you do i know it has to be hard all the haters all the fame all the crazy's i love you so much and i feel like you have made alot more ppl feel the exact same way so thank you

KZbin needs to make a “love” button.. this was amazing

The screen on the cell phone is so familiar that I can feel more real and empathize with it. Maybe that's why I'm crying while watching this video😭 love this one sooooo much❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

You are TRUTH bro one hundred million percent

Brilliantly executed! The way you told this story through “modern” ways of communication is so spot on. Thank you for sharing your authentic self Ari ❤️

When he ended up showing us the time he spent on his phone all day, that's when it really hits you.

*"modern loneliness,* *we're never alone* *but always depressed"* damn that hit 💔 i made a cover of this song, would love for you to check it out if you have a minute!

Bruh this and I’m so Tired hit DIFFERENT late at night

We all need this song more than ever. When we realize how lonely it can be, we feel stuck and I feel like "We don't know how to come down." embodies that feeling.

"Modern loneliness Lonely eyes" The meaning of this songs, i love it

This music video brings tears in my eyes, the music video is simple yet moving.

Why does Lauv seem like such a GOOD person.

Shit. I cried. My life is usually like that. I never tell someone how I feel because I think they have bigger problems than mine. I only express myself and look for conversation when I feel like I am going to burst. Beautiful song!

Fans: How many times you will upload Modern Loneliness? Lauv: Yes.

we're never alone but always depressed- this really hits me hard

So amazing!!! I can totally relate to this

THAT WAS AMAZING! reminder that you don’t know what’s going on inside someone’s head or behind their smile, so make a stranger happy, compliment someone you don’t know that well, and tell your friends and family that you love them. Thank you Lauv, I hope everything’s okay and that you don’t feel so lonely anymore :)) xx

I just felt like I stalked someone's phone and now *I'm guilty for it*

I love the way you put your face time with your mom and dad at the end. I've literally felt "never alone but always depressed" like a few years ago. I wasn't hanging out with my parents that much, I've got lots of things going on and surrounded by good people, but no matter how many times I've hung out with them, I always felt depressed and alone. I didn't realize till last year that my parents are the ones who truly cares about me and always there for me. Recently I've been spending more time with my parents and family and I never feel depressed and alone again.

"Modern loneliness ..we 're never alone but always depressed" :((( The lyrics are excellent

*Doesn't this video just hit a spot in everyone's hearts?* 😩❤️ *Especially now during quarantine. It's the perfect time to take a step back and appreciate every single person in your life. You may not get another chance. Give more love. Reconnect.* ❤️

LAUV's songs are for HEALING ✨💓

Digital life screwed us up even more than ever before. It has gotten so addictive that we cannot imagine to live without it anymore.

I never realized Modern Loneliness hasn't got a music video ahhh- And why are there already 11 dislikes?? Why are there even haters??

The last part his mom called him & he answered. GET ME IN THE FEELS. CRIED. :')

"we're never alone but always depressed"

It's sad when he says "I could use some love" and "And I've been trying to find a reason to get up" ); Especially when you think about all the people that are suffering at the moment due to depression. Who is still supporting Lauv and his amazing, meaningful songs in April 2021?

I would never get tired of listening to this piece of art

90% of this comment section will be filled with the people saying "we're never alone but always depressed, damn that hit me".
