    This song reminds me of my emotional vulnerable times when I was in the hospital for suicide threats. That was the most depressing day with the most beautiful night. I saw the prettiest view from the top floor.
    Nothing lasts forever, not even pain.
    Keep your head up, whoever is reading this.

    Amazing. He's going places, that's for sure. Brought me mix feelings between cudi, gambino, frank ocean, 808's kanye and tyler.

    I saw him open for The Neighbourhood last night and this song caught my attention, along with the stage set up. I felt like I was in a dream or a music video and I would see him again live just to experience that again. It was something else, he seems like a real artist

  • @someup7786

    A core memory of mine is my best friend showing me this 7-8 years ago and talking about his love life and worries. He now has a very happy healthy strong relationship of over 4+ years. I'm so happy for him everyday. I hope to have the same. Thank you Caden.

    @HideousDisfigurement Před 6 lety +28

    Everyday I wake up and play this song, every night I lay down and play this song. When I'm experiencing this type of depression that I'm currently going through, the smallest things can trigger me to break down. This song is what picks me back up every time I get hit hard on the ground. I can't even fuck with most of the music I like when I feel this way, but your solo music and Brockhampton help me focus on the better days ahead. I love you and all of Brockhampton for being yourselves, which inspires me to be the best I can be and always look forward to much bigger and better things to come. Thank you for being you.

    @SoularAspectTLD Před 6 lety +197

    I love BH, but am I the only one who wishes Kevin would focus more on solo projects like this with visuals etc, I rank Kevin in the same class as a Kanye or Cudi, it'd be interesting to see him in more solo ventures.

  • @bobbyb7357
    @bobbyb7357 Před 7 lety +16

    I recently dug all of this up off a random 4chan post that I was intrigued by. I have to say, its my happiest find all year. I've been in a bad place thanks to college and some bad relationships these past few years, but this music has made my last few days this week a thoroughly cathartic experience. I don't know if Ian or anyone will ever read this, but I want to make my opinion known. Its amazing. All of this music you make, and the experiences I will remember from it. Thank you for doing what you do

  • @maskedslapper801
    @maskedslapper801 Před 8 lety +70

    So proud. I remember when this first came out, Ian said that this song was inspired by iris by the goo goo dolls and he said he wanted people to feel the same thing he felt while listening to that. So beautiful to see someone exactly where they deserve to be, even if that means they become unreachable. ❤️❤️

      SurvivalSheep I feel mainly happy about him receiving help in rehab (4th time now), but i still miss the brother i once knew. Addiction is capable of destroying relationships, and i feel that many people have felt the effect of this. Thank you for the reply, reminds me that I’m not alone.

    This music video was so close of greatness. Tight the concept, sharp the editing, lose the fillers. Greatness.
