    Mike Posner, this is why this song is so unique. A pop star singing about how he regrets things about being in the mainstream pop music culture. Many people don't realize what stardom entails... Being famous is both a blessing and a curse. Just because you're rich and famous, does not mean you won't be lonely or feel happy. Ironically, worldwide recognition can make you feel alone. Bravo sir. Genius.

    • @AnnaLVajda
      @AnnaLVajda Před 2 lety +94

      Yeah it sounds like he wishes someone had warned him about the lifestyle but he probably would not have listened either. The remix just accentuates how people don't really listen to the lyrics and meaning just the beat telling them it's positive or negative. I think the life is a bit glorified too but if you are a singer or musician than that's what you do just if you are a cobbler you fix shoes. Most don't even notice the Bob Dylan reference of the video either listen to all his sad songs but hey he's a Nobel prize winner I doubt Mike ever will be that.

      @Anton Schiko Tömming because he was a young man with ridiculous amount of talent, who got pushed beyond his limit to work harder and harder until it killed him. Worst of all, about a year or so before his death he said that this way of living is going to kill him. He eventually took a semi-break, but it was too little and too late.

I fell into a rabbit hole of his music and artistry and have been a huge fan ever since. I got to meet him after his concert, and he was so kind to everyone at the meet & greet there. I'm hoping I can see him live again soon.

      Spot on. Lyrical music has a message, remixes do not. That's all EDM music for you. Completely unauthentic, and it just plays on people's heart rate by using scientifically studied sound waves that people are bound to enjoy, then they mix it up over and over again and call it a new song. They're all the same, and while I can't lie that they're catchy, they aren't deep or authentic enough to understand the message of the author/song.

    This song is so much more meaningful when it's like this. The faster remix seems to glorify a life of risks and drugs and being rich and famous at a cost and not caring about how it affects yourself and others, but this just shows so many more emotions and regrets behind the decisions made and makes it seem like he actually cares vs the remix

    I like both versions of this song to be honest. They both make you experience a different part of the story that’s being told in this. The remix is the “star” in this song pretending to be happy for his fans and him getting intoxicated to hide and temporarily get rid of his pain, and this version shows how he really feels inside.

      Alot late but in a Logan Paul podcast. He talked about his money drying up from his work and even though he was releasing songs. They weren't hits. Kept getting lower and lower. Till he went to Sweden to record with aviicii and then attended a live concert. He felt low and alone. And took a random pill. Got high and felt like crap the next day.

    It's crazy that this man introduced himself to us nationally with the song Cooler Than Me, when I heard this, I almost laughed because I didn't realize how someone gorgeous & quickly successful would have forces at work against him with friends & family, & I genuinely thought he was singing "all I know are sad souls". I really wish he would make himself more public, at least just to give his gift more because he still does have so much left to give. I wish I could take your pain like I took my sisters morning sickness when she wasn't pregnant & we weren't talking, or like when I took the sickness my step mom felt going through chemo.

    This is a very deep and sad song with lots of messages in it, especially the last part which doesn't exist in the remix version. But as always people here seems like don't get it with the pursuit of being funny with stupid comments. We are just consuming, without thinking deep about anything. This song reminds me the quote of Jim Carrey which says:
    "I wish everyone could get rich and famous and have everything they ever dreamed of so they would know that's not the answer."
