3 years ago, Porter saw my comment on "Look at the Sky" and had his team send me an Oculus VR headset after learning that my best friend passed away from cancer. The past decade of listening to Porter, his music has always came when I needed it most, and here we are again. Who would've thought a guy I've never met would leave such a positive lasting impact on me, hopefully I can express my gratitude to him one day. Dude is truly a good person... and a funny monkey.
Dude this comment is like a little light that guides others to pass on the kindness so you are doing just fine. Made me have a little more hope for tomorrow. Glad that Porter’s music can lead us all together ❤
I'm gonna be honest, the intrusive thoughts were winning when I clicked on this. I'm not where I wanted to be at 30. I've been unemployed for months. I lost my best friend. I cut contact with the girl I loved. I pretty much gave up on my dream of being an artist and writer. My self worth this year has been on a downward spiral with little hope of recovery. I don't know if this song "saved me" or whatever. But I feel like I could hang on a little longer, at least for my cat, if nothing else. Thanks.
life is beautiful because from a second to another something unexpected and beautiful comes to you and you never gonna know what it is. that's your sign, and around for it xx
Hope you're doing ok dude/dudette, there's always someone who cares even if it's just some TH-cam comments on a Porter Robinson video, hope everything starts to look up for you soon 💖
We're all here for you-don't give up. You're your own amazing person, and your life matters so much more than any of us could ever put into words, though we'll still try. Even if things aren't working out for you now-and even if they still don't work out for you in the near future-they'll still work out for you eventually, and your ability to open up and find the determination to keep living shows an unyielding strength within you that you should always hold on to.
"the album I was TRYING to write was this nonstop party - NO sincerity, ALL fun, an album that revels in absurdity for a world that rejects context. And that was the plan until I accidentally started confessing how I was really feeling ... and you'll hear the rest." I think we all know what you mean now, Porter, even if we're only 3 songs in. Thank you.
@@JasonsSongStop halfway through the song I was like "mehh I like the other ones more" and then I read ahead on the lyrics and it all clicked. Porter is too powerful to make bad songs XD
Something about this album hits me the way Nurture hit's me, except in reverse. It sort of hits that style of Bo Burnham's day ruining songs. Like, yeah my day is ruined now but in a positive way, the way he talks so earnestly about these topics really hits me in a spot I would have never guessed it would have, this is an absolute masterclass in writing
damn, the ending really snapped me out of these suicidal thoughts i've been having lately. i will try to live another day. thanks porter for everything
It’s great that this music is helping you confront your thoughts. Wishing you the best with healing mentally and overcoming your challenges. Give life the chance to show you how beautiful it can be and I hope you find what you want in life.
never thought i'd be crying over a song with "Takes a piss into his own mouth" as a lyric, but here we are. i had a really rough start to 2024 and that chorus hits me hard
I feel like I've heard about the funny monkey pees in own mouth video from someone, like the idea of it was very funny to some youtuber or podcaster who kept referencing it, but I can't remember who it was.
Ok-my two cents on the song meaning: I think here Porter is comparing his experience of being a musician and pop-culture figure to playing Russian roulette. With every album drop, Porter feels that he’s being pushed to happily play the role of a “content creator”, someone who turns real, human emotion into something manufactured and consumable. Every time he does so, he’s aware of how fragile it all is and how, any day now, he could lose either his fame and success or himself and his authenticity as he becomes more and more a part of the content-creation machine. Its a gamble with his life and "soul." He brings up this pitchfork review as a metaphor for how genuine artistic expression can be reduced to a meme that is here one moment and gone the next. Everyone is trying to out-pace each other with wit and cynicism at the expense of our humanity. This is further highlighted with the mention of how somebody bad dying became a meme-it further shows how much the internet and meme culture have made us disconnected from the reality of people’s existence. In the end, Porter decides that he wants to both find a way to exist as himself while also accepting the absurd reality we live in. At the same time that he talks about how he wants to prioritize being around those he loves and spending time connecting with nature, he also acknowledges that the inauthenticity of the culture is paradoxically, authentic to who we are as human beings. With the line about the beat at the end being a cliche while also being beautiful, I think that’s porter trying to find a synthesis between this idea of wanting to be authentic while accepting the inevitability of our participation in a seemingly insincere system. He wants to find a way to love both himself and the world that he's in.
Loveeee this analysis; great work putting all these pieces together! It's all so densely meaningful, and I hadn't thought of the correlation between someone's death, meaningful art, and monkey piss all being weighed as equally discardable to the internet mass.
I agree absolutely, with the rise of the internet the absurdity of this issue has risen a hundredfold, that being the age old insecurity of an artist feeling as though they are invalidating themselves by contributing to a world that revels in insincerity and ephemeral moments, but the truth is the world is not artistic, and I feel like everyone gets to a point where they realize that it is okay to just let yourself live rather than despair over something precious being given to people who won't value it as much as you do.
I was at the concert, [and saw recordings of it from other countries because I wanted to see Porter Robinson do the [city] tell me, something comforting bit with various cities]. They all did. Guaranteed it was at the start of the song instead, but hearing everyone boo and cheer to mimic the song was amazing. The cliche part was also replaced with "The cliche of shouting out the city's name from the stage, causing everyone to cheer: like this: [CITY NAME]" It was amazing.
The pitchfork reference about the reduction of someone’s artistic efforts to a pissing monkey video is so fire Delivered in such a witty way too Love this track so much
It seems like the common thread between the songs released so far is that Porter is wrestling with the challenge of stretching himself in new artistic directions while acknowledging the people he might fail to support by trying new things, both his fans and his team. The pop sound that he is creating is derivative, but he makes a point in the outro to express why there's value in that. Porter fans have built such a deep and emotional connection to his music, so making something that appears surface level may very well bring his machine to a halt. Creating this music is like playing Russian roulette with his career and musical legacy, but what's interesting is that the thought of this makes him want to smile. If he loses the game, he also loses his need to keep providing for his fans and his team. The fact that this thought is so cathartic to Porter is what makes this song so sad...
I have empathy for you, this is but a chapter in your life. It's touching to see what this song is providing for people. I honestly and sincerely encourage you to give reading the gospels of the Bible a chance. I truly believe it can help you. Can find it online, NIV is an easy version to read. Big love and prayers
This. Porter if you're reading this right now, you are invited to my vows being renewed (since I'm already married). Louis - we are blood brothers, that's for sure!
I don’t have suicidal ideation or anything, but I do struggle with the briefness of life and struggle with finding the “point” a lot and I keep coming back to this song lately. My anxieties have been weighing on me heavy and I need a reminder of the value of living in the moment more often and appreciating what I have, not being scared of what’s to come. Life can be so hard.
wishing you the best. i struggle with this too, constantly worrying about the future and sometimes mulling too much over the past. reminders like this song about the things that make each moment precious are so needed
Worst thing about my life is having so many words to say about something that I don't know where to start, but I see why he called this album his most heartbreaking, I picked up on the message with the lyrics of Cheerleader and KYO, but this lays it on thick. Nurture had this comfortable sadness (melancholy?) to it but this is tragic. Not to mention THE INCREDIBLE PRODUCTION AND SINGING!
I lost my mom suddenly in 2019. I never got to tell her I loved her one last time. When I heard the line "I wanna see my mom one more time", I lost it. I would give anything to see her one more time.
Oh. A 6 minute song about the strangeness of life and ideation and the struggle to live. Porter wasn't kidding when he said this would be heartbreaking, but at least it's relatable.
lost my mom about three months ago to alcohol. she was amazing and i still really miss her every day but your music really helps (been relistening to nurture like crazy). life gets hard but i can't help but cry with a smile, your music really encapsulates that bittersweet feeling. i'll keep fighting every day for her and everyone that i love. thanks
references and such aside this song is beautiful tbh? the way its so humorous while diving into shit like being suicidal and how people act about that?? bless your heart porter i actually kind of needed this
The reiteration of "I wanna" hits so damn hard. It's amazing how your music can motivate your fans to fully experience life when they feel adrift. My brother and I can't wait to see you in Seattle next weekend!! You've helped us and plenty others through moments of uncertainty, thank you.
@@JPPWB Well, we've gotten announcements for these songs for the "SMILE! :D" album, but with this song, nothing. He just dropped it randomly without any announcement.
As someone who's dealt with a lot of existentialism in the past and not wanting to be here anymore, I started bawling at the end. Thanks for making music Porter. We all depend on you 💜
The lyrical content in this one particularly during the second half hit incredibly hard for me. This is really real and I see so much of my present perspective in its themes, can't wait to see you for the first time on tour soon!
this song sounds like the latter part of the album, where he said that he unintentionally put more of his thoughts and feelings to it instead of making a fun carefree album
So many incredible things have been brought up about this song but one thing I haven't heard mentioned is how it almost feels with that last big drop porter is going "I wanna live!" and then trying to immediately invoke this sense of "These are the moments we live for" after we all get emotional thinking about the things we want to have a chance to do one more time, back to the present, living in the moment... What a truly beautiful song.
Hey man, just want you to know as cliche as it is im glad youre okay. Im sorry for whatever lead you to that and want you to know that I get it and I've been there, I hope the world after that moment for you becomes brighter and meaningful enough to press on, because you deserve to experience your life to the fullest. Stay Healthy friend
I attended his world tour in Spokane, WA. My first ever concert, and I can’t be more happy I bought that ticket. Incredible talent across the board. “Russian Roulette” and “Mona Lisa” brought tears to my eyes
The only thing I dislike about this song is that I never heard it sooner, when I most needed it. Growing up not knowing who I was or who I wanted to be while in a rough spot with my family, this song would have brought me to tears many many times.
Not gonna lie, I have been fighting my depression for a few weeks now and between listening to multiple songs old and new. This hit me the hardest. Thanks as always for the amazing music and the inspiration that it brings.
"i wanna live i dont wanna die" upon hearing these lyrics, i felt the same, like the song was speaking out to me, and understood that i want to live my life, i want to experience more things, i want to love my family more, i wanna hang out with friends more, i wanna do everything more, bad or good, i just wanna live and experience life.
Happy 10 years to Worlds. An album that undoubtedly played a huge part in making me who i am today. I’ve said it so many times but truly, Thank you Porter what you have done for me and so many others cannot be understated. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Damn as someone who contemplated suicide this year after my dad passed the week before Christmas this hits hard. Its rough dealing with those thoughts but having those around you wanting you here is what sometimes is the difference between pulling the trigger or putting it down and seeking help.

The part when Stephen Hawking says "don't kill yourself, u idiot" is just magical
cried real good to this, was not prepared for the ending lol also the verse at the 4:11 is so heart-wrenchingly beautiful and reminds me of bon iver thank you for this song
Ok, so I wrapped things up with my therapist before Nurture released, so I can’t really say you saved my life, Porter, but you damn well could have. When you have depression, there really are days where you just can’t see shit getting better. Like in your brain you can logically tell yourself things get better, but it never feels that way. You just wanna sleep, every task feels mundane and pointless, and when it gets really bad you start thinking the world would be the same without you, and that it’s not worth the pain. But oh god, are you WRONG! Even though I’m really far from where I was all those years ago, I still love so much! This world is so fucking beautiful. I feel like I can appreciate everything! I don’t even take drugs or do any shit like that, but God I’m so glad I’m still here. It’s easy to remember the messed up stuff in life, the evil that drills into your head, but there’s so much beauty, like literally everywhere, and while yes, life can be so damn painful, its also incredible. All this information has just been manifested into words by the way this song made me feel, Porter. You have a gift, and I really cant wait to see all you will do for the world, and for yourself, too, in the future. Music is healing ❤
My mothers best friend just killed her self a few days ago, she lives beside us and it's very odd to see her not here, never had a feeling like that seeing somebody I've known my entire life gone just like that.
I like how this song has Worlds elements in it and at the same time sounds like Unfold. It’s a real experimental piece for sure. Porter you da man!! Please keep making music! Love the song.
What a crazy song. The first thing that came to mind the first time I heard it was my first semester of college. I originally went to college to study computer engineering because I wanted to be a software developer. I remember where I was sitting when I got my final grades from my first semester of college, a semester filled with grief and sadness and loss, and then getting up to go hang out with some friends. There was a point during that drive where I considered ending my life, but deep down, something inside me said “don’t do it. What if life gets better? It probably won’t, but what if it does and you aren’t there to experience it?” and I kept on driving That was over 5 years ago. I eventually dropped out of college to work at a local tv station in the city I grew up in, where I now direct newscasts with automation (ironically, this requires coding), do various engineering things, have some of the most insightful conversations about life and love and humanity, and also where I met the love of my life. She and I are going to see Porter together in September I was wrong. Life got better. I hope you all give living a chance, because the world is better with you in it ❤
The nostalgia hits too strong with this. Damn. A 6 minutes song suddenly out of nowhere 😭 edit: this feels like what Bo Burnham would sing on INSIDE. edit edit: 4:13 onwards cant wait to cry while singing this live
I remember what Porter said about Smile... "...until I accidentally started confessing how I was really feeling ... and you'll hear the rest." oh oh god
hey porter ik you wont read this but ive been listening to your music for over 8 years now, and your art has meant a lot to me and played a big part in my life ive also been struggling with suicidal thoughts for a very long time now and today was particularly shitty, and this song popped into my recommended. this song made me really happy and i even teared up at the end, definetely wasnt expecting that when i clicked play thanks porter :)
Muito obrigada por isso, Porter. Essa música se tornou meu hino de resistência e motivação. Suas músicas me motivam e me deixa muito reflexivo, acho que no bom sentido. Minha música favorita até então. 💝
I'll admit that at first I was hesitant about the new direction, but you can still create the feeling of happy-sad that I love about your music, so I'm happy about it. Can't wait for the full album, and I can't wait to see you live!
my personal interpretation of the song (somewhat similar to others but could also be completely wrong): the song is essentially about insecurity/ uncertainty, and porter coming to terms with it as an artist and accepting human nature to both fear insecurity and the tendency to follow cliches/the masses. he references the pitchfork report where they reviewed an album 0/10, basically shaming and memeing artists that are genuinely trying their best in creative expression. then he says "i put the gun against the thing thats stopping me". whats stopping him is fear and insecurity of backlash from the community - he says screw it and plays russian roulette, knowing that hes gambling and theres a chance he will get screwed by the backlash and his insecurity will come true he talks about wanting to do all these things one more time, not dying, seeing his mom, playing his songs. he realizes his own fear and insecurity that all these things can be fleeting, existing one day and gone the next (his music career, his family, his own life, etc). then the generic outro he says "the format we are used to, cliches like this are beautiful" is him accepting that perhaps theres a beauty to this human nature that we love and appreciate these cliches/what we are used to. its perfectly normal to fear the uncertain and crave the cliche, and thats powerful in itself
Porter's music has touched my heart. Every time I can always find spiritual healing here. You have no idea how important your musics are....Not just 《Nurture》, but all of Porter's creations have saved my life. ❤
“Don’t kill yourself, you idiot” is so direct that it’s both hilarious and deeply meaningful to me at the same time

Oh. A 6 minute song about the strangeness of life and ideation and the struggle to live.
Porter wasn't kidding when he said this would be heartbreaking, but at least it's relatable.
I really got emotional at 2:06.. "Funne, Monke" really just hit a whole different way.
Uh oh, stinkieee
My chemical robinson really knocked it out of the park with this one
Really knocked it out of the linkin park
We need paramore songs like this tbh
he really stepped on a papa roach with this one
he's good at americ anfootball too
The insane finale made me panic at the disco
Those lyrics in the end are so powerful...
"I wanna try to change one more time"
Porter basically sharing out his whole intrusive thoughts in a single song
lost my mom about three months ago to alcohol. she was amazing and i still really miss her every day but your music really helps (been relistening to nurture like crazy). life gets hard but i can't help but cry with a smile, your music really encapsulates that bittersweet feeling. i'll keep fighting every day for her and everyone that i love. thanks
I think this song is probably my favorite from SMILE out of all the ones you've released so far Porter. I think it has my favorite message
Couldn’t agree more
"Don't kill yourself, you idiot"
Not sure why that monotone line got me crying in the club right now
references and such aside this song is beautiful tbh? the way its so humorous while diving into shit like being suicidal and how people act about that?? bless your heart porter i actually kind of needed this
I'm also pretty glad he dropped this, pretty good contrast to Adam's Song and the like.
Honestly, didn't expect something this dark coming from you.
And I'm all here for it.
Song took me by surprise. I love it
The reiteration of "I wanna" hits so damn hard. It's amazing how your music can motivate your fans to fully experience life when they feel adrift.
My brother and I can't wait to see you in Seattle next weekend!! You've helped us and plenty others through moments of uncertainty, thank you.
NO WAY ANIMEBOY DROPPED A SONG OUT OF NOWHERE
Its not out of nowhere, hes releasing a new album. He already released 2 songs from it and is on tour
He just wanted to say hi
@@monochromesoul5873Yeah but usually he lets us know days before when a video is coming out like with the other two
They would NEVER do such a thing >:C we get PLENTY OF NOTICE AND REMINDERS FOR EVERYTHING PORTER RELATED
lololololol🥰happy dayyy
DROPPED A BANGER
Goddamn, didn't think I'd hear Porter's commentary on the toxicity of social media and contemplation of suicide in this new album. Hard hitting stuff.
DUDE JUST DROPPED THIS OUT OF NOWHERE
Dude's in the middle of an album cycle, how is it out of nowhere man? 😂
@@JPPWB No teasing
@@JPPWBmake sense. maybe the fact that he always promote his upcoming songs to his social media, but not this one.
@@JPPWB Well, we've gotten announcements for these songs for the "SMILE! :D" album, but with this song, nothing. He just dropped it randomly without any announcement.
He doesn't know his schedule on the 5th that's why
As someone who's dealt with a lot of existentialism in the past and not wanting to be here anymore, I started bawling at the end. Thanks for making music Porter. We all depend on you 💜
The lyrical content in this one particularly during the second half hit incredibly hard for me. This is really real and I see so much of my present perspective in its themes, can't wait to see you for the first time on tour soon!
The last time a song made me cry on the first listen, it was "trying to feel alive". 3 years later you did it again
Same here and mirror
i was literally thinking like "when is there gonna be a new porter song" and then it came 😭
this song sounds like the latter part of the album, where he said that he unintentionally put more of his thoughts and feelings to it instead of making a fun carefree album
STILL HERE WITH THE ONES THAT I CAME WITH 🔥
nice one✨
Porter Robinson when im alone: 4:12
Porter Robinson when my mom walks in: 2:07
So many incredible things have been brought up about this song but one thing I haven't heard mentioned is how it almost feels with that last big drop porter is going "I wanna live!" and then trying to immediately invoke this sense of "These are the moments we live for" after we all get emotional thinking about the things we want to have a chance to do one more time, back to the present, living in the moment... What a truly beautiful song.
Agreed! Love your thoughts
The amount of growth Porter Robinson has had as an artist is insane.
Never thought I'd be quick enough to catch a Porter Robinson song before it has 50 views. Surprise release!
5:26 insane serotonin boost
no fucking way he dropped this less than 12 hours after i survived an attempt
Hey man, just want you to know as cliche as it is im glad youre okay. Im sorry for whatever lead you to that and want you to know that I get it and I've been there, I hope the world after that moment for you becomes brighter and meaningful enough to press on, because you deserve to experience your life to the fullest. Stay Healthy friend

@@Jiyanico2 that's the conclusion i came to last night, though it's not easy to believe coming from myself, if that makes sense. thank you very much
@@jacob3761 nice pfp :) i wasn't in a state to remember that under no circumstances should i prevent myself from seeing luffy become king
@@lin_9012 very kind of you to offer support. much love to you, and i hope you take care of yourself as well
I attended his world tour in Spokane, WA. My first ever concert, and I can’t be more happy I bought that ticket. Incredible talent across the board. “Russian Roulette” and “Mona Lisa” brought tears to my eyes
We even got a reference to Sad Machine? And a PSA? Best song ever
The only thing I dislike about this song is that I never heard it sooner, when I most needed it. Growing up not knowing who I was or who I wanted to be while in a rough spot with my family, this song would have brought me to tears many many times.
porter nurture is back on this track.
It's as if nurture, the album said, no anime boy - tell the WHOLE truth.
i dont think a song has ever evoked this kind of pure emotion out of me. i want to laugh, cry, and dance all at the same time.
incredible.
wow.
This. Truly a Goosebumps classic!
PORTERRRRRRR YOU JUST KEEP ON COOKING
We eating good 🤩
Not gonna lie, I have been fighting my depression for a few weeks now and between listening to multiple songs old and new. This hit me the hardest. Thanks as always for the amazing music and the inspiration that it brings.
"i wanna live i dont wanna die" upon hearing these lyrics, i felt the same, like the song was speaking out to me, and understood that i want to live my life, i want to experience more things, i want to love my family more, i wanna hang out with friends more, i wanna do everything more, bad or good, i just wanna live and experience life.
Happy 10 years to Worlds. An album that undoubtedly played a huge part in making me who i am today. I’ve said it so many times but truly, Thank you Porter what you have done for me and so many others cannot be understated. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Damn as someone who contemplated suicide this year after my dad passed the week before Christmas this hits hard.
Its rough dealing with those thoughts but having those around you wanting you here is what sometimes is the difference between pulling the trigger or putting it down and seeking help.
The part when Stephen Hawking says "don't kill yourself, u idiot" is just magical
cried real good to this, was not prepared for the ending lol
also the verse at the 4:11 is so heart-wrenchingly beautiful and reminds me of bon iver
thank you for this song
Ok, so I wrapped things up with my therapist before Nurture released, so I can’t really say you saved my life, Porter, but you damn well could have. When you have depression, there really are days where you just can’t see shit getting better. Like in your brain you can logically tell yourself things get better, but it never feels that way. You just wanna sleep, every task feels mundane and pointless, and when it gets really bad you start thinking the world would be the same without you, and that it’s not worth the pain. But oh god, are you WRONG! Even though I’m really far from where I was all those years ago, I still love so much! This world is so fucking beautiful. I feel like I can appreciate everything! I don’t even take drugs or do any shit like that, but God I’m so glad I’m still here. It’s easy to remember the messed up stuff in life, the evil that drills into your head, but there’s so much beauty, like literally everywhere, and while yes, life can be so damn painful, its also incredible. All this information has just been manifested into words by the way this song made me feel, Porter. You have a gift, and I really cant wait to see all you will do for the world, and for yourself, too, in the future. Music is healing ❤
New Porter Robinson Song? *Sick.*
真正面で太陽に向いて地声で歌う…
ひたすら無防備にみえて、、だけどいきなりの開放感に目が眩む！
the writing is so honest. i fucking love this guy! can't wait to see you Porter
I love getting to listen to a new Porter Robinson song for the first time all over again
"Don't kill yourself, you idiot"
- Stephen Hawking
Arthur schopenhauer
But I wanna die though
Hahahahahaah
@@PTClipsYTbro how are you going to live if you die?
@@St4nFPS That's the goal, homie
This is exactly what i needed, thanks Porter, you don't know how this meant to me and how much it helped me. Thanks for making me see beauty in life
My mothers best friend just killed her self a few days ago, she lives beside us and it's very odd to see her not here, never had a feeling like that seeing somebody I've known my entire life gone just like that.
I hope you and your mom are doing okay. I'm sorry that happened.
I'm so sorry 🫂🫂🫂
I'm not joking when I say this: This song bluescreened my dogshit ass PC. 10/10
I like how this song has Worlds elements in it and at the same time sounds like Unfold. It’s a real experimental piece for sure. Porter you da man!! Please keep making music! Love the song.
catharsis crying in the bridge and the drop hits so good im dancing with tears streaming wtf porter
What a crazy song. The first thing that came to mind the first time I heard it was my first semester of college. I originally went to college to study computer engineering because I wanted to be a software developer. I remember where I was sitting when I got my final grades from my first semester of college, a semester filled with grief and sadness and loss, and then getting up to go hang out with some friends. There was a point during that drive where I considered ending my life, but deep down, something inside me said “don’t do it. What if life gets better? It probably won’t, but what if it does and you aren’t there to experience it?” and I kept on driving
That was over 5 years ago. I eventually dropped out of college to work at a local tv station in the city I grew up in, where I now direct newscasts with automation (ironically, this requires coding), do various engineering things, have some of the most insightful conversations about life and love and humanity, and also where I met the love of my life. She and I are going to see Porter together in September
I was wrong. Life got better. I hope you all give living a chance, because the world is better with you in it ❤
This song sounds like a hot and humid summer night
The nostalgia hits too strong with this. Damn.
A 6 minutes song suddenly out of nowhere 😭
edit: this feels like what Bo Burnham would sing on INSIDE.
edit edit: 4:13 onwards cant wait to cry while singing this live
This wasn’t an emotional rollercoaster. This was an emotional dog fight
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Genius and underrated comment
Oo yeaah !!!
PORTER CURSING IN A SONG IN HIS OWN VOICE?!?!?!?!?!
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"bitch i'm taylor swift"
it's really sad :/
He did in knock yourself out xd though?
@@thesolitaryowl shut up nerd
We got porter cursing before gta 6
I remember what Porter said about Smile...
"...until I accidentally started confessing how I was really feeling ... and you'll hear the rest."
oh
oh god
I'm going to be broken into pieces for the rest of the album 😭😭 this song alone got me emotional and thinking about how I should keep going ❤️❤️❤️😭😭
WE STARRING DOWN THE BARREL WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣❗️❗️
YMIR?! :D Ain't no way two of my favorite artists in one place
that's the exact opposite of what he was saying
😂😂😂😂😂
WE PULLIN THE TRIGGER WITH THIS ONE 🗣🔥🔥
YMIR!
hey porter ik you wont read this but ive been listening to your music for over 8 years now, and your art has meant a lot to me and played a big part in my life
ive also been struggling with suicidal thoughts for a very long time now and today was particularly shitty, and this song popped into my recommended. this song made me really happy and i even teared up at the end, definetely wasnt expecting that when i clicked play
thanks porter :)
seeing this performed live last night was such a powerful experience, i cried.
Holy shit, I'm in tears and speechless. Haha this is such an amazing song! Thanks Porter.
WELL HELLO NEW SONG, thanks for making my day better Porter!! ❤
beep beep burger
Muito obrigada por isso, Porter. Essa música se tornou meu hino de resistência e motivação. Suas músicas me motivam e me deixa muito reflexivo, acho que no bom sentido. Minha música favorita até então. 💝
RAAAAAAAAH NEW FOSTER LOBINSTON SONG WHAT THE FUCK IS A HAPPY MACHINE ?! 📢📢🔊🔊🔊🔥🔥🔥
This hits hard.
Thank you for the reminder to not give up on life.
I'll admit that at first I was hesitant about the new direction, but you can still create the feeling of happy-sad that I love about your music, so I'm happy about it. Can't wait for the full album, and I can't wait to see you live!
my personal interpretation of the song (somewhat similar to others but could also be completely wrong):
the song is essentially about insecurity/ uncertainty, and porter coming to terms with it as an artist and accepting human nature to both fear insecurity and the tendency to follow cliches/the masses.
he references the pitchfork report where they reviewed an album 0/10, basically shaming and memeing artists that are genuinely trying their best in creative expression. then he says "i put the gun against the thing thats stopping me". whats stopping him is fear and insecurity of backlash from the community - he says screw it and plays russian roulette, knowing that hes gambling and theres a chance he will get screwed by the backlash and his insecurity will come true
he talks about wanting to do all these things one more time, not dying, seeing his mom, playing his songs. he realizes his own fear and insecurity that all these things can be fleeting, existing one day and gone the next (his music career, his family, his own life, etc).
then the generic outro he says "the format we are used to, cliches like this are beautiful" is him accepting that perhaps theres a beauty to this human nature that we love and appreciate these cliches/what we are used to. its perfectly normal to fear the uncertain and crave the cliche, and thats powerful in itself
BABE WAKE UP A NEW PORTER ROBINSON SONG DROPPED ON MY BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BDAY!!!!
happy birthday!

Porter's music has touched my heart. Every time I can always find spiritual healing here. You have no idea how important your musics are....Not just 《Nurture》, but all of Porter's creations have saved my life. ❤
