    Lyrics:
    well, do you feel better now?
    i thought i’d run until the sky came out
    and with the sunlight on my face,
    something changed
    and just trying to feel alive,
    you climbed a mountain -
    are you satisfied?
    as you stand at the top,
    you already want to do this one more time
    maybe it’s a gift that i couldn’t recognize
    maybe i don’t really need to feel satisfied
    maybe it’s a gift that i spend all this time
    just trying to feel alive
    maybe i don’t really wanna be satisfied
    maybe it’s a gift that i couldn’t recognize
    maybe this all -
    maybe this was all …
    and then somebody, somewhere finds the warmth of summer in the songs you write
    maybe it’s a gift that i couldn’t recognize:
    trying to feel alive

    Trying to feel alive, feels like the end credits to a movie, where the protagonist is finally at peace with themselves, after overcoming their personal struggles.

    This is easily Porter Robinson’s magnum opus, the epitome and autonomy of his music is in this song. This song is what Porter Robinson means to me. Simple, cute, beautiful, rugged, and worthwhile arrangements and melodies. Harmonicas, kalimbas, Microsoft synthesizers, and the simplicity of all of that is in this masterwork.

I haven't listen to any of the past albums but u HAVE heard the singles from most of them, so this is my first ever listen, and oh my fucking goodness
    .. I am not exaggerating when I cried the whole way through... this is probably the first I have ever felt so... "happy"... this is.... i just have no words for this. Yes i do... Dreamy. euphoric. Fantastical. I have been feeling so...... dead for the past decade.... and this album is what did it for me... the "digital world" feel.

    this album means so fucking much to me. even the wait itself was kind of a spiritual journey because a lot of the singles dropped around the same time as some of my personal breakthroughs. i didn't make music when this album dropped, but i've struggled a lot with this sort of self-destructive type-A behavior and so i'm intimately familiar with a lot of the themes in this album. whenever i slip into old habits, this album reminds me what the spark i live for feels like.
    from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much, porter. i don't know where i'd be without this album

    This song came at the PERFECT time. I'm finally starting to find purpose in my life and live for the things I want to do. It's taken me years of struggle, depression and bouts with suicidal ideations. But maybe all that was worth it, maybe all of that was to mold me into the person I'm meant to be. Maybe it's okay I'm never satisfied with experiencing something and have to keep doing more and more until I've seen all I can. Maybe it's a gift that I'm still trying to feel alive. This song shows me that my pain, my struggles, were always gifts to me. They showed me how strong I am and gave me purpose in my life. Fuck, this song is the one that resonates with me the most at this current moment in my life. Thank you, Porter.

    I don’t think I can state with words just how much my life has been impacted by the incredible music you create. I first heard your music back when I was still in freshman year of high school, it filled me with a feeling I can’t really describe, it had so much soul in it. I continued to listen to it throughout high school, I don’t think I went a single day without at least one of your songs playing in my crappy knock off earbuds from the dollar store. Even today I still listen to each of your songs constantly. The music you make has given me so much comfort and joy over the years that I couldn’t possibly in my life hope to repay you for what you have done for me. I’m completely serious when I say that I cannot imagine where I would be without it. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you have done, both for me and for others. Thank you, Porter Robinson.

    Side note: I remember one night where I decided to try out a new burger place that was about a 30min drive for me, so I got in the car and turned the radio way up and played this song over and over again. It was so great driving at night with the windows down, feeling the nice cool breeze, looking at the night sky while having this song was blasting through the radio, driving to a new area and seeing new places, while also being very excited for my burger. Both the drive there and back was so much fun! Despite the fact that my life is very rocky at the moment, this little adventure made me so happy. Ah, good times. It really is the simple things that make life great

    Lyrics:
    well, do you feel better now?
    i thought i'd run until the sky came out
    and with the sunlight on my face,
    something changed
    and just trying to feel alive,
    you climbed a mountain - are you satisfied? as you stand at the top,
    you already want to do this one more time
    maybe it's a gift that i couldn't recognize maybe i don't really need to feel satisfied maybe it's a gift that i spend all this time just trying to feel alive
    maybe i don't really wanna be satisfied maybe it's a gift that i couldn't recognize maybe this all - maybe this was all ...
    and then somebody, somewhere finds the warmth of summer in the songs you write
    Maybe it's a gift that I couldn't recognize:
    trying to be feel alive

    Did not expect a song titled so melancholically to slap this hard. The way it builds kind of reminds me of a Pogo or Liltommyj mix. Lyrically, that last verse calls back to Get Your Wish, thematically; maybe all the struggle of trying to create something is worth it if someone else can get something out of it, maybe it's okay that neither the process nor the praise that accompany it can REALLY leave you satisfied because maybe they're not supposed to. I dunno. That's just my interpretation.
    What an album. Sat out on my porch and looked at the moon and sketched a bit and had some chocolate pudding while I listened to it. Not quite the drive to the sunny field that Porter recommended, but the album released at nighttime in my time zone.

  • @Butterbean32

    It took a while for me to think so, but I think this is genuinely the best song on the album. It's so warm and fuzzy feeling, and you can truly feel that Porter found closure in his struggle. Can't thank Fantano enough for pivoting my view on this song from the album ending to the album "end credits rolling" song

    Life shouldn’t always be about completing some task or quest to achieve something. Usually, in the smallest things, we act as if we want to get something over with, to feel *fulfilled* when we finish it. but sometimes we don’t feel fulfilled, we don’t feel satisfied. The happiness sometimes comes from the chore itself, to mindlessly do something that we think will make us happy, when it was all just a trick, or rather, a feeling we give ourselves to feel like we are living.
    A blissful ignorance.

    Oh man ... I really found the warmth in your songs, and the inspiration, we are all trying to find something more, to feel something that we think could give us fulfillment, but in trying this, we ignore everything we can bring to others. In the end, we shouldn't try to feel alive ... We just had to try to live, doing and being what we want to be. 💜 Thank you for your music, I find it very comforting in rare moments of my life.

  • @user-yt9ok5sw8v
    @user-yt9ok5sw8v Před 3 měsíci +2

    my definition of music, and how i'd describe it is - trying to convey feelings and hope into those who are hurt. music isn't about you, it's about trying to help those who are hurt. music is always about healing those who can't help themselves. music is about love and emotion, not profit. maybe you need a different way of looking at music porter, maybe then you can understand the feelings and trust you need. something i do, when feeling intense feelings of emotions is to sit still. listen to the music in your head, sometimes it may feel chaotic, but even then. if your having trouble with your music, sit with someone you love, do something you like doing. you'll eventually hear the song that correlates with your scenario, music comes to me when i feel intense. kinda like spider mans 6th sense. love you porter, always on your side.

    Porter, this song means more to me than a lot of people will ever know. I've just came out as trans and for the first time in my life I'm starting to feel alive. Despite still struggling a lot, I'm happy that I'm here.
    I've spent 23 years trying to exist but knowing something wasn't right and I'm still trying to climb that mountain again. I'm gunna keep slipping and falling but I'm not doing it because I "should" anymore, I'm doing it because it makes me feel more and more alive the further I get.
    So, thankyou for your music, the gifts you give us 💖

    @ZeranZeran Před 3 lety +13

    the very hardest vocal on the whole album to 'get right' was Trying to Feel Alive.
    that was the very last song written for the album, and because i was kind of stuck on it, i became very worried that i hadn't progressed at all, that I hadn't actually improved, and that the premise of the album would then be a lie. (You can see the sheer distortion of the OCD / Anxious thinking there, but that's where I was).
    of course, the reality is much more complicated: i had, of course, improved in so so so many fucking ways in relation to my own creativity, life balance, overall level of happiness, level of productivity, mindfulness, ability to sing, ability to write lyrics. but in that 'fight or flight' state, all of that was invisible to me.
    the big error there was the perfectionism. demanding that, in order for me to consider myself 'better', that i can never fail or get stuck. that's obviously not right.
    it's helpful for me to think of recovery as an "upwards spiral"! you won't ever be perfect, but it's okay as long as you're broadly moving in the right direction.
    so anyway, back to the lyrics: i really wanted to write something for Trying to Feel Alive that felt truthful but also helpful. Something that expressed how I was still kind of scared, but that didn't contradict the central meaning of the album. And that took weeks.
    I remember this breakthrough, when I thought: "Wait -- do I actually want to be happy happy? Like, completely satisfied, now that the album is done? Do I actually want to be DONE?" and the answer was a resounding fuck no. I realized that it's actually a precious gift to be dissatisfied, because that keeps you moving forward. I always want there to be another mountain to climb -- I feel purposeful when moving forward, even if I know no destination will ever truly satisfy.
    So the final lyrics of the album:
    "Well, do you feel better now?
    I thought I'd run until the sky came out
    But with the sunlight on my face
    Something changed
    And just trying to feel alive
    You climbed a mountain, are you satisfied?
    As you stand at the top
    You already wanna do this
    One more time
    Maybe it's the a that I couldn't recognize
    Maybe I don't really need to feel satisfied
    Maybe it's a gift that I spent all this time
    Just trying to feel alive
    Maybe I don't really want to be satisfied
    Maybe it's the gift that I couldn't recognize
    Maybe this all -
    Maybe this was all- ...
    Then somebody somewhere finds
    The warmth of summer in the songs you write
    Maybe it's a gift that I couldn't recognize:
    Trying to feel alive"
