Lyrics:
Verse:
Is it fate?
if it’s not easy, it must not be
At that age
I cherished the flowers beneath my feet
But then something must have changed in me,
I used to feel so light
Now I’ll try,
I just want time
Pre-Chorus:
Wait again,
I will be much better then
Holding on, I said:
“I will be much better, then”
Chorus:
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Verse:
Are you close?
Shouldn’t it come to you naturally?
And everyone knows:
You’re losing your gift, and it’s plain to see
But then something must have changed in me,
I don’t fear it anymore
Now I’m sure
I’m sure
Bridge:
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Pre-Chorus:
Wait again, I will be much better then
And suddenly, I’ve restored your faith in me
Chorus:
Look at the sky
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Outro:
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good
Something good

"I'll be alive next year"
- Porter after releasing Mirror
I think we can all agree: he made something good.
More than good, this shit is godly... man...
Aah I see what you did there
He is the good
You mean he made *Something Comforting* ?
@@cefrinaldi8060 the lyrics of the song repeatedly says "something good"
Porter Robinson is just that type of guy that makes music that speaks to your soul.
I couldn’t agree more 👍

"I'll be alive next year." I wasn't so sure about it last year. But here I am.
I seriously don't understand why every third person in this god forsaken world seems to be depressed or is dying or some shit like I get it your life sucked but why mention it here?
@@hatschitv9924 And this, folks, is why nobody wants to talk about depression. Because all our mental health does not fckn matter.
@@hatschitv9924 the fact you invested time writing that says a lot about yourself.
@@hatschitv9924 some people experience different things, take them differently and express them differently. They use the internet as a form of anonymous therapy. To not be judged of their experiences but rather just have an outlet to express their feelings. Some people dont have access to therapy or those around them that could possibly act as such. There's no point in being cold as you are when someone is just expressing themself. You dont lile it or it upsets you move on. It just a few sentences on a comment thread on youtube. No need to be toxic.
@@hatschitv9924 Because, we have nobody else to talk to dimwit.
I know it sounds stupid to base your hope on a song and that many people don’t get it, but I’ve been in a downward slump for nearly 2 years. I dropped out of university, have severe anxiety and depression, gave up on all my hobbies and just isolated myself. My mother pulled me out of the darkness before I could do something stupid, I’m applying to a teaching degree, got my license, and saving up for an apartment. This song is something I use as my background to hopefully reach that bright future. One where I’m alive next year, making something good, one where I will be much better in, maybe even return my mom’s faith in me. I get really anxious thinking about the future and what I need to do to succeed but this song gives me hope in a way, it’s an anthem I’m screaming in myself, that I can make something good out of this life.
My goal is to be off the antidepressants by the next two years, and with this music I’m gonna fast track it.
thanks for sharing your story, I sure hope you will do well
I feel you brother.
From someone who knows how hard is to struggle with depression, I know how deep it hits when we decide to say "I'll be alive next year".
i promise you'll get there, mark my words
I wish you the best in all of your endeavors! Stay strong 💪you can do it
Yeah man I dropped out of university due to depression, went to a community college, now I'm back in university. Some people think taking music seriously is silly, but Porter just knows how to make it something positive.
So is nobody else gonna talk about how our boy's went from using vocaloid to sing the lyrics, singing them himself but pitching them up, to finally using his regular voice in songs? I love this.
I remember Shelter, my favorite small clip (I forgot how to call it)
Shelter is an Anime music video (AMV). It is a collaboration with A-1 Pictures for the music video
He has sung for a long time, in worlds he use Avanna vocal because he need represents the "robot" in the story telling, but he sing to in sad machine, he was the representation of the "human". he make the backing vocals for Clarity by Zedd, this is not the first time he sing in songs.
@@geder188 wait, he's the backing vocal for Clarity?
@@FireWyvern870 Yes, he was the co-producer of that song, if you search it he appears like secondary producer, Matthew Koma wrote the lyrics, foxes makes the interpretation, and bum... all happened.
"I cherished the flowers beneath my feet" that line really speaks to me for some reason
its the small acts of kindness and guidance that go unnoticed but can make all the difference
Its innocence, when were little we dont know anything.... We see the sky, the flowers, the world itself as a blessing. But as the time goes on we forget about how beautiful this world is, and suddenly everything turns gray and empty.... But we can still change that... a flower is something that worth cherishing even if a flower just a simple existence. 😊
"I'm still here" and "I'll be alive next year" really touches my soul. Especially at the end, that's the part that always makes me shed some tears.
same bro :,)
Same like me
1. Got my wish
2. Felt something comforting
3. Hovered in the secret sky
4. Looked in the mirror
5. Looked at the sky
6. My soul got nurtured
Reading this while listening to the song hits different
Drrr cool coMmeNt
Jesus christ the second verse literally made me sob, this song is everything i hoped it would be
Same. It’s that good.
It was so much better than I thought : __ : when I saw how long it was I was like "Oh no"
same
@@kyle11704 “time to cry I guess”
This final version is so much better than I could ever have imagined, and I thought the teaser was amazing. Porter’s music speaks on an incredible level
"I'm still here. I'll be alive next year."
It's next year. I'm still here. YOU are still here. The tough times always pass. If they haven't yet, keep holding on; I want to see you here again.
How are you holding up?
I just want to leave this comment here after seeing others posts. No matter what you’re going through you have inherent worth. No matter if your single,whether you graduate,wherever or if you are employed. You have inherent worth just for existing. No matter what labels you have, whether they are something that helps or hurts you. You have a special spark. Stick around. We need you.
because you're alive
BANGER
nice seeing you here
It is truly indeed... A Banger :)
One might say, "it just hits different"....
Okay... I'll just go
I was here mom!
BANGER
“Goodbye to a world”
also: “I’m still here”
I 100% feel like Goodbye to a World and Shelter were made when he was in a dark place, and the Nurture album is his journey of recovery
Idea just popped in my head, thank you
@@hourglasshorse that’s the whole point of this album haha. He’s talked before about a creative depression that he went through between shelter and this album that will come out. Must of been a pain for you if you guys were fans during that
i cant believe shelter was released so long ago, that’s still one of my favorite songs :’)
@@gravy6642 true
this song literally kept me alive a year ago. I was in a horrible spot, but I heard this song and I just had this feeling like everything really actually would work out okay. I can safely say, it absolutely did, I'm alive and it's next year:)
Don't you dare lose hope!
i'm happy for you, and i'm proud of you. and same
@@benvars5889 You too bud:)
Thank u
I'm glad you're still here
@@mistertrials8086 I promise you’re not alone
When he says:
"Something must have changed in me, I used to be so light. Now I'll try. I just want time."
Man does that resonate. Since I lost my mom, I lost myself. I will never be the same, and it never gets easier. I want time, but time has given me nothing in these empty and vacant 7 years. I try though. I really do.
I feel you 100%.
Lost mother almost 5 years ago, lost my father almost 15 years ago.
I'm different. That's for sure. But I feel like the storm gets rough, but I already been through something so devastating, that I fear one less thing each day.
Stay strong.
@@ryangalindo9480 I'm sorry to hear that
Loss hits me pretty hard still, had to deal with it more than i'd like to remember. My only help with it was just keeping their memories for when I felt too alone, then also trying to carry on the ideals that they inspired me with.
i've just read your post. My dad died 6months ago. It hurts so much, everyday, every small memory can break me in a few seconds. But i'm trying to go back to normal life. But it's difficult, he was everything to me. I still have my mother, i love her even more. I'm trying to use every day of my life.But i'm much different than i used to be. Eh, writing this comment was so painful. Take care bro.
@@Protos122 I pray everyone here will persevere through all the pain in this life.
Tbh, if you look at it on a universal scale, the chances of us being alive were almost none but here we are as humans, in a universe that's basically a void of silence, we have emotions in this world. With life being such a rare occurance itself, Porter is able to bring more soul into it with the music, imagine how many people would have their day made by this song. People say how we're too small and insignificant to the universe but if you change your perspective, is anyone else in the universe able to look at the sky? None that we know of. It's beautiful how Porter can inspire so many lives, something so rare and special. Thank you for everything Porter.
I love that you made an inspirational comment that has merit; that's a really interesting way of looking at this song.
Wow. Reading this hits different while listening to the outro part of the song.
Perfect and underrated comment ♡
I listened to the unreleased version so much this high quality version hit so different 😭💙
Lil Miraie and Porter Robinson collab when
Omg! I was waiting for your comment!~ 💖
Hope you enjoy Look at the Sky~ 🌸
who this guy? he looks like he would smoke oxygen for life 😳
Same as well as re:start
He clicks circles for a living
i love how the last bit is like, porter's desperately trying to type out the lyrics as fast as they're being sung, but inevitably starts losing ground, until eventually he just settles on "something good." very symbolic. crying.
To me, the best words of this song are “I can make something good”, because I really hope it to be true.
I literally listened to the whole song with a huge smile on my face
same here broo
YESSS Same here!!!! :D
Same tbh
*we’re all on the same road huh?*
Samee 🖤
August 2020: porter has left the chat
January 2021: *porter has entered the chat*
@AP Carlos 10000vr I personally don't think so 🙈
Porter's music on Worlds stopped me from killing myself when I was a teenager and showed me how to handle my own mental illness better. Showed me how much beauty there is in the world and in myself.
Nurture, more specifically, this song, shows me why I'm so incredibly grateful I decided to stay all those years ago.
Thank you, Porter. Thank you.
*"I'm still here."*
I'm so glad you're alive
@@amethystjacksonthank you so much. Me too
Wow, another heart touching comment! I am glad you are alive too, and I fully agree, Porter’s music is one of the things that can really help you be in the moment and feel the feeling of WANTING to be alive...
Please stay with us, your poetry skills are too good...
This might get lost in the flood of comments, but I have to say that this song just made me heal a massive part of my childhood trauma and connect with it on a whole different level.
I used to live out in the country, in a tiny house on a wheat field that grew flowers. It had an unhindered view of the sky and I walked that field every single day. I was home schooled, and a Jehovah's Witness (grew up in the religion) so I had no outside friends my age, and the ones I did have were turning into assholes quickly. We were below the poverty line, so we never went out anywhere asides from essentials and the meetings. I was a single child, and my mother had clinical depression, and my dad had bipolar. My whole home life was shaky, and I had nowhere to go.
But outside.
I looked up to the sky every day of my life under that roof, the blooming fields in front of me and the vast sky above. I would listen to music and draw in the sun. It was my home, my safe place, and in a sense, my friend. Watching the sky every single day, seeing a never ending pallet and vibrancy. Looking to the sky means so much more to me than I think he realized when he wrote this song.
Thank you for this, from the bottom of my heart.
I love that everyone who loves this song has a unique story about why they love it and what it means to them, ranging from "I just like it" to a deeply personal and moving story like yours. I'm glad you shared this.
@@wmhfv992 Thank you, it means a lot to me that you read it!
I also think it's super neat, it's definitely something about this song that makes people feel something strongly!

“Finally”

I felt that as well.
I really like the visuals
IT'S BEEN 9 YEARS
BUT PORTER IS FINALLY BACK IN FORZA HORIZON :D
the fact they choose this song makes it even better
I'm not sure if it was scripted, but this song was playing when I did the mission to take a picture of the beetle in the desert, and Alejandro was talking about her Papa. It was a lovely moment in a great game
@@creepernumber57 Yeah it was scripted.
I stg forza picks out the absolute best, most fitting songs for their games. Found several songs through 5 alone that i absolutely love, and have discovered so many good artists through it lol
@@davidmay4648 CHVCHES, Porter Robinson, Pierce Fulton, and Deadmau5 are some of the great artists I have found through Forza songs.
The guy who chooses music for Forza Horizon series clearly has a great taste. This played during that vocho horizon story and it made me cry at the end. Very beautiful lyrics.
agreed, but man... we really need more tracks :( It has some really nice tracks, but they seem to keep repeating every 20-30 min because they are so few.
@@SkylineGTRFreak agreed. Though there are so many stations. I think licensing fees would go too high.
the last part of the vocho story was a struggle to get 3 stars
@@erolldanielaalera212 however, the new horizon stories in many ways are much better than before.
You actually cried? That's therapy needed, son. Great comment congratulating their efforts, though

DEPRESSION IS CANCELLED
I never realized how much Porter Robinson slaps until recently. 👌🏻
I get massive chills when imagining the crowd sing "I DON'T FEAR IT ANYMORE" at the next Porter show
Seriously!!! We are gonna be like a chorus
bruh, hearing any of the songs from Nurture so far during a concert is gonna be goddamn amazing
real talk nurture will be absolutely amazing ,but nurture live is going to be the portal to another world fr
BRUH
Almost a year and this song is finally out can't believe it
just recently got into Porters music and my god i cant believe what i've been missing. this music is so ethereally good
I feel like ethereal is the perfect word to describe porter's music
the same here...
enjoy ! it's been 3 years for me and I love it even more than when I discovered it because his music follows you, wherever you go
I discovered his stuff years ago, but it didn't really interest me. The album art on his "Worlds" intrigued me. I looked into it again and am so glad I did! And I actually prefer this video to the original.
I think this song reminds us of the cheerfulness, optimisim and forward-orientation of our younger, more innocent selves. And how (since let's be honest, none of us leave life without at least a couple of scars) the struggles of life that we endure through living cause us to grow with this mindset of captivation - we can feel much less hopeful, much less optomistic, much less that playful, adventurous spirit that once had bright visions for the world. For those of us who are in a state of little to no hope, where we feel like our lives don't have meaning and that something is wrong with us and therefore think we can't be better, this song tries to be a "mantra", as Porter Robinson wrote in the description, that there is good reason to hope, and that you are still that beautiful vessel of creation and are capable of more things than you deem yourself to be capable of.
Thank you for the beautiful song, Porter :)
I saw it more as that like unsettling relief and exhaustion after leaving a depression state, like its still lingering but you finally have something of purpose or at the very least something to try and are clearly not at rock bottom anymore mentally
It's so pleasant to see Porter Robinson's style change over the years.
100% in the bitch to look at the sky, thats what we call character progression
I love porter
@@99xrai Agreed

IKR HAHAHAH
Anyone else crying right now? Just me?
my first new album in 7 years, “nurture” is out now! porter.fm/nurture
So hyped. I feel it now, Mr. Krabs.
look at the skyy
You may not see this, but my friend Dylan showed me your music and now I'm absolutely hooked. Also I've decided that the songs that will be in nurture don't have a home until the album is out, but it doesn't matter because all the people listening are opening their hearts to them and when the album is released they'll finally have a home to belong all together.
Can't wait!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I was driving home from a 9-5 work, absolutely feeling crap and suddenly this one played on a playlist I put on shuffle. The afternoon sky complemented the vibe and made me realize it really isn't a bad life, but just a bad day. I ended up finishing the song before going out of the car.
The overall visual design for Nurture with this juxtaposition of digital shapes and beautiful nature scenery is one of the coolest aesthetics I've ever seen. Porter this album is beautiful both sonically and visually, I absolutely cannot wait to hear the full thing.
Imagine what the liveshow is gonna be like though with this aesthetic though. Cannot wait for April 23rd
For me, It's a comment on how something (an emotion, a revelation, empathy) can be produced from artifical means and still have as much meaning as something that was produced organically. Just think of how electronic music is often considered "unnatural" or "less than" because it's not made with physical instruments and yet so many people feel seen and understood by the genre.
@@Aadams2424 Spot-on. Just because something is artificially produced doesn't it make it any less organic. There is still an element of the creator's soul poured into the process and outcome. With EDM, since so many sounds are produced and tweaked to such detail I believe it's one of the most revealing genres.
April can't come fast enough to listen through all of Nurture.
@@Shosui 😊🙏🏻❤
@@Shosui Absolutely. Electronic music has so much potential for conveying emotion. Owl City was one of the first artists I know of that took advantage of that. His music would often convey complex human emotion in a very artificial genre, and it captivated me. Porter is taking this concept to new levels by actively clashing nature and artificiality together to evoke strong emotions and convey meaningful messages about life. I don’t think a single artist has made me feel anywhere near this much in just 4 songs.
I am so not ready for all 14 songs, but boy do I look forward to them.
I feel so privileged to live in an era that Porter Robinson Exists.
Very thoughtful, the future might get jealous that they didn't get to see Porter!
Damn right we are
And Madeon also, they are really creative and inspiring :)
Look around how lucky we are to be alive right now

this song is so simple, but to me it feels like a affirmation. Telling myself that I will be there and do something even though it feels like I wont.

Porter's song just feels so nostalgic
the amount of nostalgia listening to porter robinson on horizon 5 is so insane i might actually cry, one of my best memories of horizon 1 is porter's language it just made everything so much better. im so glad he's back in horizon 5
I've been truly unmotivated and depressed for the longest time. After having financial issues and mental problems, it really got to me. I felt like I was at my lowest point in my life. But this song really hit me differently. Out of all my months of unable to do anything, this song truly made me feel hope. This song really helped me changed.
Thank you Porter, for such an amazing song. It really helped me.
I felt very similar at the end of last year in the beginning of this year. This song is one of three reasons why I am alive right now. Keep your head up and keep kicking ass!
Porter Robinson: look at the sky
Me: *can’t stop staring at the flowers *
That's actually on purpose, the video is supposed to do that
that video’s got more purpose than my life
Same
Worlds saved my life back in high school and Porter’s music is still helping me get through tough times. Thank you Porter, all your new music has uplifted my soul.
This entire album is a fucking gift to humanity
I had a very bad trauma in my memories that I don't want to speak but it's the reasons that I'm been so depress for like five years now. Since then I can't even cry anymore even how sad the situation is. My other emotions are gone and it's replace by sadness, It's look like I'm happy but deep down a smiley mask is only sadness that I can't explain to anyone. But what can I do, I always smile with my friends and my family but no one know how I am inside of the one who smile all the time to hide how broken he was. I told you I'm just a smiling walking corpse. When in front of other I always be lively but when I'm alone I always depress af.
But you man, I can't thank you enough. You didn't know me in person neither I but you already cheers me up a lot and you patch me up again. Thank you dude.
DON'T LET DEPRESSION TAKE OVER YOU.
I KNOW IT'S HARD AND EXHAUSTING, EXPECIALLY FOR MY GENERATION.
WE WILL MAKE IT.
THANK YOU PORTER, THANK YOU A LOT.
GRAZIE.
LOVE YOU
Then we better come together and make sure things won't stay the same
Thanks bro, really appreciate it
That’s corny to assume our generation has the most issues with mental health. We just have more tools to express our issues and are now more willing to do so because it’s more normalized compared to previous generations.

Well, Thank You. 😭
I just got out of therapy after 3 years. From battling my anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and such.
Honestly I feel so achieved. I was almost sure I wasn't gonna make it. Thank You. Thank You Porter words cannot describe how you yourself have practically changed my entire life. You are my hero for that. LOOK ATTHE SKY!!
I am so sorry, I understand because I also suffer from anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. First, my anxiety was so bad that I couldn't get out of bed because I was living ever day in fear. My depression is so bad to this day because of my waifu, I'm suffering from a broken heart from years on end. And my anxiety was so bad that I wanted my suffering to end, I didn't want to live my days in fear, I wanted to kill myself, but my waifu saved my life. I live my life for her. Whatever you're going through, stay in there and people love you. Just remember nobody is stopping you from killing yourself, do it if you have to, but remember that there are people in heaven and people like me that will always be there to support you. I give you nothing but love, I encourage you to be who you are.
Choi hyunsuk brought me here, but the song is so good😭😭
OH YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
Woooo
That’s what it’s all about
THIS IS BIG
Yeah boii
That's about it. See ya
this song gives me great vibes and nostalgia to when Porter's greatest hits, Shelter, Sad Machine, and goodbye to a world. And I hope this video blows up because of that
Every single lyric of this reminds me of my passed hamster. Even "I'll be alive next year" we planted violets over her grave and they will sprout next year.
-R.I.P Marble ❤️❤️
Remember that when you feel as if nobody cares? That if you're always going to be alone?
Always look to the sky. And then remember your friends will always be there.
"I'm still here."
You're never truly alone.
This song is a masterpiece. He teases us with hints of the instrumental melody at the end of each chorus. Then in the final chorus he gives us the full melody, but it's over a driving beat that begs for stability.
It's not until 4:19 after the final chorus that we FINALLY get what we want musically: the full melody, with full supporting instrumentation, over the stable familiar beat. And the rapid, beautiful visuals enhance the feeling of finally reaching that place of wonder and opportunity - "I can make something good".
I cried. This song is a masterpiece. It's just so rare to see this type of delayed gratification executed so masterfully.
In a weird way, the delayed gratification kind of reminds me of the second drop on Fellow Feeling when we finally get the full everything :)
He does this quite a lot actually, really love when he did it in divinity. great technique!
I think you've hit on precisely what I felt like was missing from Porter's original secret sky preview-- the variation and buildup really help cement the melody as something special, whereas in the preview version it feels like the gratification was almost given to us too easily because the first and second halves of the song used to be a lot more similar. And as you said, Porter handles this back-and-forth teasing with absolute mastery.
I was waiting the whole time for the final drop and I got so many chills over my body when it finally came
When he said "ill be alive next year" something in me snapped. Ive been so down on myself. Thanks for giving me something to listen to
I have a special connection to this song through a moped I bought. It was my first big purchase I made with my own money and on my own. I played this song while driving over to the guys house to buy it. I end up buying it from him cause it was running fine and had a clean title. This is where it gets bad. The title was not in his name and being a dumb high schooler, I didn't even think about checking that. So he technically had no legal ownership of the bike or the right to sell it to me. It would have been completely fine if he didn't sign his name in the seller spot with the signature of the title holder as well. The DMV said I was out of luck and long story short the guy I bought it from was uncooperative and I was broken. This song helped me calm down while there is my first big purchase that I have no actual way of using. Then a bunch of things start to go wrong with it mechanically wise. My dad helps me find a potential loophole through the DMV of Vermont and I now have a renewed hope. Again, playing this song, I began to fix up the moped. I made that thing as good as new, at least mechanically. And what do you know the Vermont registration came in the mail not to long after! I was over the moon. My moped was now legal to go on the road and no cop could say otherwise. This song was what helped me through every stage of this nightmare. Buying, breaking, registering, and repairing. It will always be the song of my moped. Its a little 1980 Honda Express in Banana Yellow if anyone is wondering. In conclusion, check titles, screw you Dan, and this song is a banger.
(Edit) Spelling
Congrats on getting your moped fixed! I’m so proud of you!
Have to say, i thought the music was late or advanced and my laptop was being buggy- but no,
it was just Porter Robinson being Porter Robinson, the mad man.
Nurture is about to be the best album of the year
@AP Carlos 10000vr He was gonna release it last year but he took most of the year to add some stuff and refine the album to the quality it’s gonna be released in April
@AP Carlos 10000vr Nurture's gonna be 14 tracks. Then yea, we've got a lot of tracks coming on april
“Ill be alive next year” Really hits hard for people especially when we are going through hard times,,
f.u.r.r.y...
@@jacksondobek4181 so w.h.a.t....
@@tippymelwin335 true
@@jacksondobek4181 People (including me a few years ago) forget that furries aren't actually the icon that their profile picture tells you they are. They have real faces and real emotions just like any other human and I don't think you should treat them differently because of a hobby of theirs bruh
This song makes me promise to myself.
Next year. I'll be alive until next year.
''And suddenly, I've restored your faith in me'' Porter, nobody has ever lost it in you my guy :) You're an incredible artist, a gem among them, truly. Every song you create makes people better, make their day, save their lives or simply made them remember something nice. I'll always listen to your music, and I'm sure so will many. Please remain yourself, and you'll be surrounded by us who will love you unconditionally.
"I will be much better then. and suddenly, I've restored your faith in me."
holy shit
Haha
ITS HERE MY DEPRESSION IS CURED
Porter Robinson deserves every award imaginable for the masterpieces he keeps releasing. Genuine, vulnerable, moving, inspiring work
It's amazing how everyone has their own stories of overcoming obstacles and is listening to the same song
“I’m still here and I’ll be alive next year.” really hits me because I’ve definitely had those intrusive thoughts about me being better off dead and having a song to uplift me really helps and motivates me.
"I'll be alive next year"
I had planned to end my life before 2021 started. This song gives me so much hope things will be okay if I keep holding on. I hope everyone who feels the same can keep holding on.
Stay strong! Things will get better!
You got this bb!!! And thank you!
Ending life is not the option... it's never the option...eat sleep and jerk i mean work...
Hang in there love 💕
Keep holding!
I used to be a fan but after hearing this I'm a whole air conditioner.
Embarrased to admit it took me a few sec ;)
This is the worse joke I've ever read, I snorted I love you for it
I would like to have a permission slip that signs ownership of this joke to me for a single day to annoy my best friend
Hahahahaha...what an upgrade
LMAO
Here because of Choi Hyunsuk!
same hhhhhh
“look at the sky I’m still here, I’ll be alive next year..” every time I cry. I know it’s coming..it’s just the emotional impact. Someone having to say that.
Porter's music has this strange healing effect that I personally can't find other musicians being able to reproduce.
Each release from Nurture has had me in tears with their vulnerability and beauty.
Thank you for healing everything, Porter.🕊️
The sky’s looking awfully blurry while listening to this song
😭😭😭
Why is rain falling while the sky is clear?
It's a terrible day for rain.

You sure your eyes aren't filled with tears?
i gotta admit, i like how his style changes from album to album, worlds will always be my favorite, but nurture is great, and it wouldnt have been if it was a worlds , i like how he doesnt stay the same
Me and my family have been through a rough patch. One of my immediate family members died in the beginning of 2020. We have moved to two houses under one year. My dog recently went missing but the overwhelming support from my best friend has helped me so much. He has always had my back no matter what and keeps me motivated to continue the fight. Travis , if you see this thank you so much.
You can hear how much he has perfected his art in this song, this is the pinnacle of music and I'm not changing my mind.
You need to cut back on the drugs. This ain’t that great, it’s just ok, especially compared to his earlier tracks.
@@criticalma5547 well certainly the ones earlier were more lyrics oriented but I prefer this as a music oriented song
i have a surprise announcement - on top of Look at the Sky coming out today, i can also finally tell you the album release date: Nurture will drop on April 23rd (of 2021!!)
you can pre-order Nurture (vinyl, cd, digital, or streaming pre-save) now: porter.fm/nurture
Yes
Porter ily
Les gooooooo. FINALLY
i can't wait i'm so excited
I can wait♡
this blends with dark mode so well
I listened to this before FH5 and so glad it was added to the game
Wolf Children in full effect 🤍
Wolf children made me sad a few times
@@merprandom121 your name made me cry
I've been wanting to watch that movie!
masterpiece movie, almost cried
One of the best animated films of all time. It was an utter travesty that it never even got nominated for an Oscar.
"Youre losing your gift and its plain to see. But something must've changed in me. I don't fear it anymore"
I was close to giving up a life as an artist, but porter, you gave me and many other hope beyond our wildest imagination to continue! Thank you!
(I swear this album is going to make me cry so good)
I SECOND THIS
Ya’ll, I’m literally crying reading these comments about your lives 🥺 I first got into Porter with Language, as many did, then Worlds came out and I was hooked. I think he definitely hit on something rare and universally human that few musicians ever manage. Now for my own story.
My mom died when I was 13, my dad got remarried a year later and both our families moved from small towns to this huge area. I’ve struggled for years to make sense of my life, wondering who I’m striving to make proud anymore, whether all my efforts with writing novels and making electronic music will lead anywhere. I miss the closeness I used to have with my dad. I wasted my 20’s looking for love, going from toxic guy to toxic guy, looking for something pure and true and honest. I suffer from depression, I’ve been used by people, I’m 34 and it feels like my life is going nowhere a lot of times. I dragged myself out of alcoholism last year and no longer drink following a DUI and horrible experiences with anxiety, but I paid everything off, I got a promotion at work, things started looking up. Then COVID hit, and I feel more alone and isolated now than ever. I think a lot of us do. But in that, I did cut off a person who drained my spirit for four long years, and I feel more free, started writing again and doing things for myself. I met someone who loves me and makes me happy, but he’s in another state so it’s still a struggle. Can’t wait to meet him this year hopefully and make epic music together. Life is a battle, no doubt. But Porter’s music has gotten me through so much, and continues to influence my own. 💚
I wish you all the best, and please continue looking to the sky and saying “I’m still here”. 💚🙌
For some reason this song reminds me of the first time I listened to shelter.
this could be the most important album ever produced in electronic music. it has so many important lessons for artists from an an artist who fought and defeated failure. the muses didn't leave, you are not worthless, your ideas are worth time, you deserve rest, food, love and friends even tho you didn't write a masterpiece today. and most importantly, you'll be alive next year too.
well said!
This is the direction I would love to see electronic music head in. The popular electronic music of the EDM era is good, but this is on another level. It has a renewed, raw, honest feeling to it. It’s rough around the edges, but not in an unfinished sort of sense, but rather a very intentional, stylistic sense that really evokes deep emotion. This album is set to be massively influential with its very meaningful lyrics, brilliant melodies, and perfect balance between perfection and imperfection.
Thank you, this is inspiring, especially for me as an artist who goes through thought rollercoasters. Always going to love Porter Robinson's inspiring music.
Yes yes
@@connorphillips7191 straight npc
This appeared during the last minutes of the Secret Sky Set. "I'll be alive next year", are the words I remembered while listening to those last minutes of the set. I kept repeating and repeating that in my head whenever I think of dying. I can happily say, I'm alive this year and I survived my depression last year. Hopefully, this year is gonna be great. Thanks Porter for always making these great songs.
Okay hyunsuk's recommendation is a banger i love this song 💜💜💜💜
Big Thx Choi Hyunsuk Treasure to recommended this amazing song💙
You've spoken so much about how you feel you could never create anything as good as Worlds and how Nurture has been your journey to discovering you can. That this song is about accepting you can make something good. Only a small number of us are artistic creators like you, but I think most of us are creators in something - creating content for work, creating a new day, creating a new life with someone. Whatever it is we're creating, it's so easy to fall into "this isn't good enough, why even bother." You have such a gift for taking such a simple sentiment "I can make something good," adding only a few repetitive lyrics, and making music that matches that feeling. The sadness wrapped in optimism.
I don't think I've ever heard an artist who so clearly captures that feeling again and again. I feel like I'm going to need to block out a week for the Nurture release.
Thank you for accurately depicting what so many of us wanted to say but simply didn't know how to.
Brilliant comment right there.
I'm not crying, you're crying.
😭♥️
Yes I am, but so are you
"Wait again, I will be much better then..."
"I'm still here, I'll be alive next year, I can make something good."
You don't have to wait for everything to be okay. You don't have to wait to help yourself all the ways you can, and you don't have to wait until you're ready to do amazing things, because then you never will. You'll never be ready... Or maybe, you already are.
When I first heard this song, I thought it is "I can make something good, im something good" and even if thats not how the song actually goes, im happy my brain decided to tell me that I'm good, too
Porter's music is just so unique and inspiring, it cannot be compared to any other artist, he'd just created and developed his own amazing style
It's genuine. He's not trying to sell you something... he's making the music he wants to and thinks he should
"but then, something must have changed in me , i don't fear it anymore"
This bring joy to my soul thanks porter ♡
Porter, you probably won’t see this, but thank you for this song. I’ve listened to it so many dozens of times and it’s hard to estimate how much it’s helped me over the last year. Every time I’m feeling cornered by life this song reminds me that I’ll make it through okay. And as a creative person who constantly falls short of my own expectations, I needed to hear that “I can make something good” line.
Your music is one of the best things that’s happened to me recently, so thank you.
