[Filmed 7/28/2022] OK, OK, hear me out. Four and a half hours?! That’s way too long, even for me. No, I am not trying to set a record for longest ASMR ramble on YouTube (though a Liv Tyler fan can dream). My plan was to do a first pass to cut out all the loud noises (and have an extended version saved in case I ever wanted it), then edit down to a quasi-defensible 2.5–3 hours. But my editing app keeps crashing (unsurprisingly), and I’ve been stuck with nearly the same very rough cut since the beginning of May. It would take me weeks to edit from scratch—and I don’t want to keep you all waiting any longer—so here we are. Maybe I’ll still put out an abridged version at some point. Then again, maybe there’s no use, as you’re free to skip around as it is, to adjust your playback settings to a higher speed, to do whatever you like. That said, no one is under any obligation to watch to the end (or at all!), and I did work very hard on this video, and allowing myself to talk so deeply on this subject was very cathartic. All this is to say that excessive moaning and groaning in the comments will be blocked!! IF YOU’VE NEVER FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOUR SNEAKY LINK AND THEN NEARLY GOTTEN THEM KILLED, THEN FRANKLY I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT! Ahem. Anyway, thank you all very much for your patience with this series! More & shorter videos to come. And I’ll be back soon with time stamps for this one (as interested as I am to see what chapter titles YouTube auto-generates). Oh, and lastly— I know, I know… the Florence + the Machine song is called ‘Bedroom Hymns’; and the universe is (probably) expanding, not our solar system; and the mongoose wins against the snake 80% of the time. Have a heart and don’t tell Liv.
To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
