Lady-in-Red - This was the first time hearing this song and I felt it deep in my soul and seeing your comment got the tears flowing so I had to comment how much I agree with you!! ❤️
I would say he realized after the deaths of some really true friends and family members that the superficial life he had when he was hyped isnt the Life u should live... And thats also why he didnt shaved his hair since so long i guess... Just be as u are!
Honestly, I respect all the artists immensly...the feelings, the bravery to express publicly is all great, what I hate is "adding depth" we are who we are...and as much as enjoy " I had a pill in Ibiza"... C'mon...most of Posner's fans never been or will go to Ibiza...great track, but try to take the reality check every now and then... Then maybe you will notice where most of yous fans are in life....
@@martinthorz2983 Wait what, how does it matter if most his fans will never go to Ibiza? Neil Armstrong went to the moon and shared his story to his "fans" world wide, but most of the, will never reach the moon. What im trying to convey here is that not everything has to be relatable, sure you wont go to Ibiza and take a pill, but most of us have felt in a way the same on another level, being that you do something you dont really want to do because of peer pressure etc. And with the moonlanding this was the sheer exitment of said discovery, not necesarily the actual act. Ty for reading, have a good day :D
@@blackshadow-_-c9441 point taken...:)! I wasn't trying to stir up any bad vibes... I actually like this song very much...but at the same time I (being an old fart); can't stand the way today's world works...the evening when I typed my comment most likely Mr. Posner just got in the crossfire of my bitterness and Jack Daniels:) Stay in peace, my friend:)
I like how you can tell he is actually ferling his music and it's about his life. They aren't just words, they have real emotion to them. This is super authentic
before his beard came in, i just listen to his songs as a song after his beard came in, his songs is a speritual path fr me and just realise the indepth meaning of his lyrics.
I just cannot keep away from this version of the song, it is so beautiful! The meaning in the lyrics hits hard, particularly in the last verse. This song has got me through some difficult hours, even if that means shedding a tear sometimes.
Wow... Remember when Cooler than me was in the charts?... I slept on Mike since then for many years, I just found out that he has been riding an insane spiritual journey and he's just vibed with it ☮️☯️
Greatest thing I've ever seen, that crowd control. Wvery1 was shy, or had like an anxiety, didnt want to sing with him, mikes an amazing emcee and boosted their self esteem jus by getting them to greet each other (: So much to take from this. Great work, much love mike.
He's reinventing something. Before rock swept everything away, "folk singing" was going to a tiny club next to Washington Square where Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Dave van Ronk, Phil Ochs, Judy Collins would sing for an educated hip young audience like this as if they were, really, all friends and members of a club.
I like his method of getting people connected to raise the energy in the room oh btw his tone in his voice is the best ive heared in years wot a positive man
This is the first time I have ever commented on a platform like this... I just wanted you to know that your song gets me through bad days. I lost my parents and my husband in a matter of months and the truth and words in the song are so comforting to me. Thank you for your gift Mike, I am eternally grateful! x
Please make more of this Mike. Not understanding the direction your art is going recently, kinda depressing, after being on a mountain top/spiritual journey. Loved you meditating. This is one of my favorite songs of yours. Namaste 🌱
, Big hug to u Mike, life's journey is never over, we will get to see Tim again I'm sure of it. Keep doing what your doing. 4 souls were almost recently over but are still alive today thanks to you x
Virginia Woolf and poetry No one seemed to notice me Being young was getting so old Cheap beer and cigarettes Life was like a movie set And I seemed to be given no role But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon' understand So at age 18 I cried to my mother And she told me, "young man" "There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are now You don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as you are Life is not always a comfortable ride Everybody's got scars that they hide And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah Just be as you are" They played me on the radio And everything was changing, so I thought I was all the way grown But I can still remember in that cold November When I realized I'm all alone But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon' understand So at age 22 I cried to my mother And she told me, "young man" "There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are now You don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as you are It doesn't matter if you become some star Life is better when you open your heart You don't always have to act so hard, no Just be as you are" "There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are now You don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as you are It doesn't matter if you become some star Life is better when you open your heart You don't always have to act so hard, no Just be as you are"
Death touches all of us. If it hasn't touched you yet, it will. Death is a truth serum, you become who you truly are, stay broken, give up, chase a dream or rise up better, and Mike has risen up and shown his truly special soul.
Why am I in tears right now? Listening to Mike's songs? Drunk? Am I depressed? Alone ? Feeling stressed? My heart just broken ? I honestly don't know why but his spirit and connection has me feeling connected . Mike Posner love you for being the man u become . Thank you
From Birmingham Groves high school in Michigan to LA, to I took a pill in Ibiza which was one of the biggest songs in 2016. Now it's very cool to see the maturation and journey this artist is on. Just cool to be able to witness it......Also very cool we were in tte same school district and high school.

I just love this perfermance of him!! But is it just me or he's got some depth in his voice like around 3:20 that we never hear from him. He has a very shallow style of singing but it seems he's got some secret deep voice that could just throw you off as it is so beautiful and soul touching.
Willem Dafoe bad times are actually the best days 😊🌻 we don’t notice the flowers blossoming in those times it takes few years to become the butterfly and land on the flower to notice the bad days were actually gifts in disguise to make you a better person 🎐
I like to listen to his songs simply because I have a big health problem and those songs in a way help me get through these difficult days, they just tell me think positive, fight even now when it's hardest for you 😌💪
This is so cool, especially the first part is so special and sympatic. I mean I havn´t seen any artist leading the croud like this. Also the music is sooooo good, cannot stop hearing this song.
I just realized the IRONY of taking an audience with a 4 point 2 energy level [at best] and promising to move that room (that was so timid he commented: "there's some shy people in here!") so much that "by the end well be at ten...." And then singing to them "Be as you are"!!!!
This dude is on one hell of a spiritual journey , I felt this... 🏵️
Yes he is.....I felt it too....
He’s incredible 🙌🏼
Lady-in-Red -

What an artist..he lost his father his friend avicii and his gf and trying hard to keep the smile
@JMC RSA Ya, seriously tough year, so glad to see Mike so positive.
JMC RSA Question. Do you think the “lil homie” on Drip is Mac?
and on the flipside, he makes more money in a day then you make in your lifetime; let that sink in too
@@mysteriousDSF money can't bring back the dead
@@mysteriousDSF you must have not listened to his interviews
Not saying that I didn't respect him before, but I've gained a lot more respect for him after this.
He's an extremely open person and it's awesome

Now we’re just gonna paint some happy little clouds here
Every cloud needs a friend. Maybe another cloud. You can be his friend. too.
No shit man. Yess
this is gonna be our little secret.
That tree needs a friend, so I'll put him right next to the first tree, now they can be happy
Man the way he took control of the shy crowd was absolutely incredible
The world needs more music like this... Thank you Mike.
It does. Its just harder to find.
I have found a new love for this man... been though a lot and I understand him... hope he finds happiness
Yes bro he already found happiness as u can tell if u just look at him in that video
Happiness and joy is in all of us, we just have to date to find it. GOD bless
He found himself,
But it took tragedy and i have massive respect for him....
“Everybody’s got scars that they hide...”
I hear ya ♥ ✌️
I like how you can tell he is actually ferling his music and it's about his life. They aren't just words, they have real emotion to them. This is super authentic
You can see the pain in his eyes while he cheers the crowd. And still gives a good performance. Respect!
before his beard came in, i just listen to his songs as a song
after his beard came in, his songs is a speritual path fr me
and just realise the indepth meaning of his lyrics.
Dafaq u saying lol ...
Those who can feel his pain are the only real humans alive. Like if you feel him too.
If you ain't feeling it your probably an NPC.
It’s just we’ve all been through things, rest are living it the way it is.
0:47 How he goes from his "talking" voice to his angelic singing voice when he sings "be as you are" 😍
dude, i feel like ive met this dude in another life or some shit...
ive said "i feel like hes just a friend i havent seen in a long time" since LITERALLY 2012. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
We are failing to recognise a great artist of this era
I just cannot keep away from this version of the song, it is so beautiful! The meaning in the lyrics hits hard, particularly in the last verse. This song has got me through some difficult hours, even if that means shedding a tear sometimes.

So much to take from this. Great work, much love mike.
What a great performer and artist. He’s more than just a pill in ebiza
That's a performance I would love to attend.
+1
feeling this dude so hard. So true and so vulnerable you can't help but relate to a very core level
Damn man thats real Talent and Mikes never sold out , you won't see him wearing a dress !! Think about it !
This is very strong. Thank you Mike :)

You find everything when you need too.

Virginia Woolf and poetry
No one seemed to notice me
Being young was getting so old
Cheap beer and cigarettes
Life was like a movie set
And I seemed to be given no role
But in times of trouble
I can turn to my mother
And I know that she gon' understand
So at age 18
I cried to my mother
And she told me, "young man"
"There are moments when you fall to the ground
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
Just be as you are
Life is not always a comfortable ride
Everybody's got scars that they hide
And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah
Just be as you are"
They played me on the radio
And everything was changing, so
I thought I was all the way grown
But I can still remember in that cold November
When I realized I'm all alone
But in times of trouble
I can turn to my mother
And I know that she gon' understand
So at age 22
I cried to my mother
And she told me, "young man"
"There are moments when you fall to the ground
But you are stronger than you feel you are now
You don't always have to speak so loud, no
Just be as you are
It doesn't matter if you become some star
Life is better when you open your heart
You don't always have to act so hard, no
Just be as you are"
"There are moments when you fall to the ground

You don't always have to act so hard, no
Just be as you are"
tatarka 228 Thank you
Alot of this is wrong
any depressed soul can talk to me .. i'm always available
Can i?
Are you available now?
I'm still calling M, 3 months still no response, I don't deserve it?
Yes
Ashutosh Dang That’s very nice of you, but it would be even nicer if you actually responded to the couple of people that asked if you’re available
Death touches all of us. If it hasn't touched you yet, it will. Death is a truth serum, you become who you truly are, stay broken, give up, chase a dream or rise up better, and Mike has risen up and shown his truly special soul.
Yes Jesus is that path! He is the way and truth Johon 3:16!
“That was a joke right?!”... 😂😂 effing love mike man!!!
LMFAO I love his little “whaddup doe” he is still saying this 😂
That’s that Detroit in him, he will always be from the d! Can’t change that!
I really love how he connects people,. you don't see in a lot of singers do this.
Beautiful person. Beautiful voice. Beautiful song.
Lost my mom today. This was the last song I sent to her
His lyrics and his way to sing are really special. He is so underrated.
God he’s so golden!! I love this journey!!
Why am I in tears right now?
Listening to Mike's songs?
Drunk?
Am I depressed?
Alone ?
Feeling stressed?
My heart just broken ?
I honestly don't know why but his spirit and connection has me feeling connected .
Mike Posner love you for being the man u become .
Thank you
WHY DID THIS MAKE ME CRY 😭
LISNING THIS SONG EVERYDAY ❣️..
MIKE POSNER ❣️❣️
If I had a friend I’d hope for him to be like mike.
I feel you deep within my soul.
Thank you Mikey!
😞
This song touches my soul
Damn mike, beautiful performance my friend 💝
A true artist 👌
He's evolved so much as human. He is so full of positivity now.
Nothing but love and respect
I still come back to this from time to time, such a feel good moment
If he is not one of the best artist then I don't know who is. Much much respect to this guy and his whole journey. Inspires me everyday.
Really took to Mike so open and honest on that stage ❤
I feel you mike on so many levels. You're better than ever buddy
Oh my god i I will love to watch him someday (attend his show)🌻... Am not sure if i will ever do but am happy i wish for it
Miss my mother, her advice, and our talks. 💔💔💔
I just discovered this man; what a treat!
From Birmingham Groves high school in Michigan to LA, to I took a pill in Ibiza which was one of the biggest songs in 2016. Now it's very cool to see the maturation and journey this artist is on. Just cool to be able to witness it......Also very cool we were in tte same school district and high school.
This is the example the youth needs. I have so much love for Mike in my heart ❤️

Wow ... what a song ... far better than the original ... with true , authentic emotions .. keep up the good work mike ... love from India
Wonderful soul 😭❤, gave me goosebumps, made me cry and motivated at the same time
Mike you are an inspiration for us 🖤
A friend shared this on my timeline,I've never been this emotional. I really love this song, the message conveyed really hits the heart.
I've cried listening to this in my darkest days!
This song got me trough way to much! 😊
Talented. Eloquent. Sincere. Spiritual.
Beautiful and Truth thank YOU for sharing this Beautiful Song! You are and Amazing and one of the BEST Artists Ever....
such a beautiful song from a beautiful soul …..
I feel like im on a journey through the legendary tarot and esoteric scriptures in love when i listen to your music, mike
life is not always a confortable ride
everybody got scars that they hide
and everybody plays the fool sometimes
so just be as you are
Rip Mike’s father
Rip Avicii

Massive respect for mike posner,,
Took tragedy to find himself.. 🙏
God bless.... 👌🏴
How have i only found this guy now 😮
Thank you
I just love this perfermance of him!! But is it just me or he's got some depth in his voice like around 3:20 that we never hear from him. He has a very shallow style of singing but it seems he's got some secret deep voice that could just throw you off as it is so beautiful and soul touching.
Reminds me of an old friend in heaven looking down now. Rip Nate - I’ll have the memories forever. Love you bro.
This man is a poet. Truly astounding stuff.
It feels like it took him so much let downs on a long journey to finally become the artist he was always ment to be :)
Willem Dafoe bad times are actually the best days 😊🌻 we don’t notice the flowers blossoming in those times it takes few years to become the butterfly and land on the flower to notice the bad days were actually gifts in disguise to make you a better person 🎐
This is like a worship service💛💛
one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard
I like to listen to his songs simply because I have a big health problem and those songs in a way help me get through these difficult days, they just tell me think positive, fight even now when it's hardest for you 😌💪
Thank you for making the world just a little bit better
He brings the answer to indefatigable sound married to hope and love resounding
Be as you are
Well... I am crying because his words touch me so deeply♡
This is so cool, especially the first part is so special and sympatic. I mean I havn´t seen any artist leading the croud like this. Also the music is sooooo good, cannot stop hearing this song.
Omg that was Awesome !!
This is beautiful
Still listening to this jam
Such a free spirit I love it
Effortlessly 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏
What can I say the man is talented......I live the vibe he carries
Mike is so genuine 🙂
After I met this song, it made my mental stronger than before. Thank you from japan :)
just fell in love with this guy. thank god.
Omg this dude... where have I been😭😭😭
You are such a sweet soul. Just know....you can't save the world.
I just realized the IRONY of taking an audience with a 4 point 2 energy level [at best] and promising to move that room (that was so timid he commented: "there's some shy people in here!") so much that "by the end well be at ten...."
And then singing to them "Be as you are"!!!!
Very emotional!
He gets the pain out with his music and poem's
I love Mike Posner so much
Life its better when you open your heart
Oh my gosh I love you Mike
