    "i found her" that hit so hard omg
    he sounded so happy when he said that its genuinely heartwarming 😭

    Sweet video! The only other thing I’d have added is that at second sky 2021 he actually closes Blossom by playing the “you’d fit perfectly to me…” melody from Fresh Static Snow, which was basically a more subtle version of the “I found her!” that he did the following year.

      Ah yes, just went back to that and saw he played it, definitely a subtle thing I should have added

    I'm so glad someone made a video on this song. One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs in his entire discography. The "you'd fit perfectly to me and we'd end our loneliness line" is so powerful and has stuck with me for years. and then to hear the callback to that melody in second sky 2022 was just sheer triumph.

    Just saw Porter last night in my cityyyy this track brought back so many memories T__T even though he only played that dirty part for a couple of seconds it was sooo satisfying. Thanks for the lore on this track

    The live edit of this song is still my favorite part of the worlds live set, i'm so thankful to have been able to experience worlds live, it's the best live show ive ever seen.

  • @BrokenBeats94
    @BrokenBeats94 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Initially I loved Fresh Static Snow because of the Justice/Ed Banger style ripping bass and then I heard the live edit in 2015 and now I know the story behind it and how he met his perfect partner, it’s a really wholesome but simple story ♥️

    When I went to the Worlds concert, I went in pretty blank, not really knowing what was waiting for me (I knew him only from before Worlds (when's Electro House coming back?)).
    When Fresh Static Snow dropped, he ripped my heart out and he is still one of my favourite artists. It was so awesome to be able to experience that without obsessing about the artist beforehand (like I usually do now).
    I did not know the story behind it, so thanks!

    I love that someone made this video, and I'm sure more time could be spent analyzing Fresh Static Snow (FFS) even deeper.
    The Second Sky 2019 Version of FSS (which people memed as Worlds 2 Confirmed) is actually Porters version of a Mashup/Transition that he used to do in his DJ sets between FSS & Outer Space (Lycii & Declan James Remix), seen here:
    th-cam.com/video/jjWQqyGswJg/w-d-xo.html&si=2Xy7dxannlROhf2X
    I'm sure a lot more people know this by now, but I wanted to post this comment here in case anyone else isn't aware yet. That transition is one of my favorites of all time, and experiencing it live was pure bliss. Hopefully I get to experience the Second Sky version someday.

    Great video! These songs have always been some of my favorites by him. It makes me sad I’ll likely never get to see fresh static snow played live as I just discovered him right towards the end of the worlds era.

    I discovered Fresh Static Snow at a very low time in my life. Yes the meaning of the song is very sad, but it made me realize that I'm not the only one who feels this way. Life has its highs and lows. I now live life for the highs and try to remember that the lows will pass.

    • @modera.torrent_

      If I may offer a bit of potential insight that might allow you to put that into an even more optimistic perspective; Everything we experience as humans, is related to activity in the mind (or soul, depending on your perspective) but we are somehow awarded in life a conscience, that allows freedom of thought, expression( and experience. And all of those events are thanks to our senses, which exist thanks to our nervous system. We see, feel, hear, smell etc etc. But the single point of significance in us having any sensation at all is due to our ability to notice contrasting stimuli. We notice pleasure due to how different is feels compared to pain. And likewise, we experience happiness and content, due to how it contrasts with the low depression memories we have. Its all relative to the polar opposites of our experience. You cannot have joy and happiness your entire life, or it would be meaningless, cause you wouldnt be able to even recognize why its so special to feel happy. Just though for food. 🤷‍♂️

  • @TeddSkylight
    @TeddSkylight ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The song about somebody not able to meet their love partner just foreshadowed his later love life, which is pretty contradicting. Heck I bet ya ass if I make a song about me finding the one I'll just foreshadowing myself not still getting bitches lol.
    And also those two reindeer head dudes in the live visuals looks cool tho, it's like they have their own story to tell other besides the lyrics.

    Isn't the live version of Fresh Static Snow regarded as the first midtempo track?

    • @cultfigureclub1
      @cultfigureclub1  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I mean, it really depends what you mean by midtempo. If you mean its the first track in the style that Rezz, 1788-L pursued, then most likely, yeah

  • @jub9295
    @jub9295 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Likely a hot take, but I feel that, by saying 'i found her' Porter has kind of missed the point of his own song. He's found someone that makes him happy, and of course I wish him and Riku all the best, but statistically it is a lot more likely his best partner is still out there. He will never know, none of us ever will, and that melancholy is at the heart of this track.
    That said, of course our partner is the most amazing person to us, so it's a very cute thing to say. (^-^ )
