ANNOUNCING THE "SMILE! :D WORLD TOUR" - MY FIRST EVER WORLD TOUR !! presale starts tuesday, signup: porterrobinson.com
my new album "nurture" is out now: porterrobinson.co/nurture
sometimes when making music or art, we can think of ourselves as working alone. But that isn't ever really the case -- if I think about it, if I was raised in total isolation without exposure to culture, I would never have come up with any of the concepts of harmony, rhythm, twelve notes in a scale, the idea of chords, the idea of melody, the concept of a 'chorus' or 'verse' or 'drum' -- much less would I be able to physically build an instrument, build a computer, or write music production software. Everything we create is, in essence, a collaboration with millions of strangers. And by creating and sharing our ideas, we're afforded the gift of being able to contribute to this legacy. I think of the story of human creativity as this beautiful tapestry that each of us is given the very very brief opportunity to sew our own patch onto.
the "Look at the Sky" video is about the beauty I find in this cycle. where the meaning of the song is more directly about the value of hope and resilience in the face of despair, with the video, i wanted to extend the idea of 'being alive next year' from being literal into being a metaphor about the things we can contribute to this world that will outlast us.

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

The term "ghost producers" now makes sense to me...
Ha
He became a ghost at the end so I assume he will not be alive for the remainder of this year but he'll come back next year after all, he'll be alive next year.
Ale suche
He'll become a ghost and come back next year
@AP Carlos 10000vr long time no see
“I’ll be alive next year” that single line gave me hope in times where hope is becoming more and more hard to come by
"You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"

Porter for the win
Ok chief
@@NamaDoodoo ima keep your word mister
i wish i could say that.
I listened to this song last year at the lowest point of my life, and you're right
I am alive this year
And i'll be alive next year ✨
(Edit 11/15/23: I completely forgot that I wrote this comment last year, but, yeah, I'm still alive this year! :D )
🙏🏼
Same here bro, still here :)
Amen, we'll make something good 🙂
We will Mr.@@austinjackson7103 . We will.
Hallelujah ❤
The first thing I noticed about the "ghosts" is that they look eerily reminiscent of the entity in his "Language" video. They lean toward him while he's at the computer, always expecting something similar to a song that pretty much launched his career. And in turn, Porter put too much weight of expectation on himself to do the same. Maybe he even considered having some work ghost produced because it was a lot of pressure. Then something in him says "no, I can totally do this, people love when I connect with them and emotion is my strongest suit", so he looks back at the sky and the answer comes.
wait till we piece together what the new stuff means!
i already know this lil guy on screen gonna make me shed some tears
Man, I've been so down the last few years
Just 'cause I'm smiling doesn't mean that I'm okay
You should make some art out of it and sell it to Elon Musk
It’s mr Porter
oh hi chet 😳
Elon Musk
"I used to feel so light" i remember that, a few years ago i used to be so careless and free, and didn't feel like living was a job to me. i wanna go back
We all wish we could back to our childhood
th-cam.com/video/mgf9ClNgvGI/w-d-xo.html
you will and can get back to that, I promise
We all wish to be the clouds, to flow freely on the sky :(
@@tom8761 i dont
i'm 22, chronically ill, and have felt the weight of childhood trauma on my shoulders since i was 4. After 15 years of therapy and many nights screaming at myself i've finally given myself the compassion and grace everyone else had years ago. there are still hellish days, but on those days i wrap myself up in a weighted blanket, my dog in my lap, and scream out the chorus to this song regardless of who's home. i've been blessed to be alive even after all these horrific things happened to me. i can make something good. i'm writing a series of letters to my younger self at all the points i was angry and judgemental towards myself. I hope to fill them with all the validation and understanding my younger self needed, and publish them one day in a book. I have other ideas too, for pieces of art and for stories i want to write. Things i want to create because porter created all this beautiful music for me and others to listen to. Your impact will forever be eternal and bright Porter, i hope you know that.
I may just be a stranger on the internet, but this made me so happy to read. I hope your life only goes up from here.
This is something good. Proud of you
praying for you. I can't imagine how hard things must be for you. My heart breaks reading this. God bless you, I'm rooting for you
I hope you're in a better place now. Also, you're so pretty, you kinda look like Hailey Kiyoko
You got this
My mom died when I was a teenager and I’ve had survivor’s guilt ever since. Sometimes it’s hard to see the good in things. Sometimes the responsibility of having to live for those who couldn’t can be crushing.
This song is the opposite of that feeling. Thank you for making it.
I’m so sorry 🥺 I couldn’t imagine. Praying for you and your peace
Hey. I want to say that i hold an huge respect for you. I cannot even imagine the pain you're going true. I'm fully aware that i can't do much to help you. All i can say is that i hope you'll find peace one day. If not now, maybe tomorrow, or one month/year from now... you're stronger than you think. You're like iron: in the end, iron runs through our blood. :,)
My mom also died when I was 13, and I relate 100%. :( I was born 3 months early, she worked so hard to have me, it's not fair she needed a heart transplant when I was 3 and spent the next 10 years constantly ill. I think it really upset her that she couldn't be the kind of mother she wanted to be for me. I've always asked myself "why couldn't it be me?" But in the end, I know she loved me and despite my struggles with depression and the weight of expectation I put on myself, I think she'd want me to live my best life and find lasting happiness. I hope the same for you. Keep looking at the sky.
Bro I fell sorry for you man…….
"I'll be alive next year." my resolution in the face of emptiness
you got this 🤍

Yep
I was introduced to this song by forza horizon. I normally dont listen to this type of music but i became a fan immediately. This past week ive taken the time to listen to other Porter songs for the 1st time and im blown away on how epic some tracks are, even from the older album. I hope one day i can see him perform live, ive been missing out. To anyone reading this: i hope u all have a great year. Much love from California
same happen to me while playing Forza Horizon 5
Same with me
Definitely take a listen to Language
辛いことがあったけどこの曲のおかげで前を向こうって思えました
素敵な曲をありがとうございます

Suddenly everything makes sense
Whaaaaaa the whole video makes sense now!
scroll up to your search bar, and look up "I, pencil" and pick the first search result on youtube, its 6 minutes of beauty, it takes 1000s of people cooperating to make a single pencil

@@christian5256 It's literally in the description of the video. That being said though, I didn't see it until another comment said that.
i like how this new album is sounding and looking so far, it feels more like it focuses on facing the real world rather than trying to escape it like Worlds did, like what i mean is that Porter's work always felt kinda otherworldly and surreal while this is way more different, you can just feel it in the lyrics or the music videos, he talks about mental health, the videos are more irl and totally different from the older stuff, i don't know if someone knows what i mean but i love the turn this is taking, so excited for Nurture
I get it :) and I completely agree
you can also hear how even when everything is still very electronically powered, all his new tracks just feel organic and natural sounding in a way
yes. it hits you right in the feels. he actually sings in his songs now so...it feels even more personal
I don't remember where I saw it but I saw someone somewhere saying that that was the objective of Nurture and I totally agree with it. Worlds was Comforting because it took you to musical places that had never been seen before whereas Nurture feels like coming home after a long Journey. I love Both so much and I can't wait until Nurture Live
Couldn’t explain it better, thanks :)
Sometimes I wonder if Porter fully grasps how much impact his music has on his fanbase and even casual listeners. Worlds saved me from killing myself when I was a teenager and Nurture shows me every day how to be the person I want to be after growing from that trauma but still living with the mental illness. He's saving lives he'll never even know about and tbh that's incredible. Porter is my favorite artist and my inspiration. Thank you for all you do, Porter. Your work will live on through the lives you've impacted forever.
There’s just no way possible this video came out 2 years ago..
Time is moving too fast bruh 😭
originally shot in 2019 for a 2020 release
@@heyitzLou that’s cool but I was referring to when the video was actually uploaded on TH-cam. i distinctly remember watching it the day it dropped. feels like a few months ago.. crazy how fast 2 years will go by
did you guys hear the part from 0:00 to 5:14, that part was amazing
Yea i love that part
Thats my favorite part too
Bro same, that part was really great
Yea i love that too omg
Every note is cherished
I pay my respects to Porter Robinson fans who have passed away last year and cannot hear this song. This song isn't just for us who are alive but also for those who have passed away. Makes me love his music more and more.
i like to believe they are the ghosts in the video
@@novifart it’s a beautiful message. They live on through his music and art and are still with us alive or not.
Chris Tea exactly
Amen to that my Brother
Say what?
Everytime this song plays on forza horizon 5 i feel like i’m literally in a movie can’t wait to actually get some super fast cars and just cruising around mexico with you guys :)❤️
I almost heard it but it was just ending before Amy Simpson started talking about a classic barn find

一番好きな曲。この曲に何度救われたのだろうか
In the description he mentioned that as an artist we are never really work alone, take for an example the computer he uses and the pack, the vst ( sounds ), the daw (fruity loops) he uses made by another person so essentially it's a collaborative effort, these ghosts for me is those other people and strangers, porter doesnt necessarily know them directly but they're there to help porter craft his music, more examples shown in the acoustic guitar part where it's actually the ghost playing it for him, the actual acoustic guitar part is played by Yvette Young. This MV isnt really an visual representation of the lyric but extending his meaning to " i'll be alive next year " , in the end he beome part of the ghost and it means his work will also be a part of other people work in the future, he mentioned this cycle is like everyone crafting a tapestry together, and his work will outlast his live. So he will be alive next year through his work he put to the world.
great analysis
That's so cool, how did you find out the guitar part is played by Yvette?
@@purplegherkins198 It's all over Porter Robinson's discord :D
@@hafidhhh Oh cool, thank you!
Amazing analysis and explanation. I loved it and this music video! Well done! YAY PORTER!
This song's gonna be a huge hit, mark my words.
"you won't hear it on the radio" :(
@@noahkatt7667 no, I think we will. Porter is an influential enough artist to at least get this on the charts.
@@ulightronx4259 ofc no doubt he is an amazing artist that deserves all praise, I was just saying a familiar lyric from "hear the bells"
@@noahkatt7667 yeah maybe. Bc look at the sky has blew up a little bit on Spotify and TH-cam music. Many have listened it through weekly new releases and kept it on repeat! Even the artwork for Spotify new releases and new EDM playlists have Porter in it now!! ( Not even Alan Walker, considering he released a song on same day, and he is a popular mainstream artist
I'll leave my mark here cause you might be right
3:11 when you're the only one who knows how to make a website for school assignment
It's cool how a song can change your outlook on life, this shit is inspiring.
this man can only produce ultra-bangers it's crazy
Fancy seeing you here.
oh damn akali, you got some nice taste in music :)
Oh hi
I miss old alkali 😢
He's nurturing our souls so we can all be beaming suns spreading sunshine of peacefulness
Thank you to all the people who created porter's computer, piano, mic, midi keyboard, daw, samples he uses, vsts he uses food he eats, water he drinks, air he breathes and porter himself.
Yessss!!! Are you an Indian Porter fan though?? If yes, I'd love to know your Instagram and have a bit of chat for sometime..
Amen
Image line is definitely one of em.
When I watched this video I was just absolutely blown away from how beautiful is truly is.
I actually bawled my eyes out, for so many reasons.. One being how powerful the lyrics are, and their meaning.
Two, seeing how much work was put into forming this entire song..The vocals are wonderful, the beat created is beautiful.
I'm someone who wanted to try making music for the longest time, and it wasn't until I started trying to create it, that I ran head first into that wall of how hard it really is to make..I feel as though I am not capable of doing things like this, and that made me appreciate it even more to see someone like Porter create music so meaningful. Thank you.
agree! and about the production. but the real truth is: YOU CAN! porter has been making music for like 17 years... he faced the same challenges, and he kept going. that is the only way to get to this point, where you can produce something incredible. afterall, that's what the song itself is telling you! x
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

Now I'll try

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
Are you close?
Shouldn't it come to you naturally?
And everyone knows, oh
You're losing your gift and it's plain to see
But then something must have changed in me

my wife is currently in the hospital following suicidal ideation with an intent to carry through. i can't possibly overstate how much this song is helping me right now.
I've lived with suicidal thoughts for years now so I can understand the difficult position your in, I wish you hope and luck for the future ❤️
My wife attempted suicide a few years ago and I was the one to find her and get her to the hospital... I'm so sorry you're going through that too 😭🤗
Yall will walk through it, been there
all my best wishes to you both, my friend.
@Zenjy WRLD i'm trying! struggling to keep my head up.
"I'll be alive next year.."
Yeah. I'll be alive. I'll make it.
*CONGRATULATIONS TO ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN HERE, YOU ARE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE FOR FINDING THIS TREASURE*
@ayylmao why? I'm just saying that this song has too few views for this masterpiece :/
ok good he delete it xd
Hey Porter you probably won't see this, but my best friend passed away a month ago and this song released on the day of his funeral. This song has helped me and our friends and some of his family cope better with his passing and we like to think it was a sign that this song came out that day, thank you very much.
🥺
I’m so, so sorry for your loss. I can’t say that I understand what you’re going through, but I’m glad that this song is there to help you heal. I hope you take comfort in the knowledge that your friend will still be with you next year, and all the years after. People live on in our hearts, even if their physical presence is gone. Best wishes 💙
Sorry for your loss, stay strong and always be optimistic, life is tough 🙏🙏
Oh bless all of your souls.... I'm sorry. Best wishes for the future. I don't know your friend but I'm sure he would want you to be happy. It doesn't have to happen now or tomorrow, but eventually.
As a weeb i give you Latom but rip and condolense
He's surrounded by a bunch of no-faces. Porter is being Spirited Way. So now, I need an AMV of this.
I'm thinking more Princess Mononoke...kodama

@@doodlehobbo8697 Dude I've got that 5 times on my playlist. Thanks
僕は片目が見えない状態で生まれて辛いことが多いけど、この歌は勇気が出るからすき！😏
まだこの深さは理解出来ないけど、力を貰ったのは確か。
Ever since hearing this song for the first time, I’ve found myself looking up more often. I have a newfound love for the daytime sky.
The sky has a strange and lovely way of being beautiful, or at least fascinating to watch, regardless of the time or weather. Colorful at dawn and dusk, bright and often sprinkled with fluffballs on good weather days, a pale sleepy grey on extra cloudy days... Even bumpy roiling stormclouds make interesting patterns and shapes. And that's not even mentioning nighttime and the stars. I've made it a point to admire the sky long before this song... It keeps me going. :)
this song genuinely means so much to me. it got me through the dumpster fire that was 2020, and nurture is going to get me through this year. i cannot thank you enough porter. i'll be alive next year.
porter is our cure
Same. 💚
Porter is love
Porter is life
Oh lol, you even got that porter sniffing flowers icon
2020 was only a dumpster fire if you made it that way and wasted your time with paying attention to MSM and people who pay attention to MSM on social media... I remember people were saying the same thing for 2016 now all I hear is how they want to “go back a few years”
If “surviving 2020” is your hardest adversity you’ve had to overcome than you should consider yourself blessed and become more self aware...
Just went through the comments only to realize that I will never find the words to even remotely be able to express how much of an inspiration this man and this community is.
We all can create something good in the limited time we have in this world, inspire others and make a positive impact that lasts forever as it gets passed on...
Truly amazing to think about. Life is a gift, thank you all for existing ♥
Those cute ghosts in the video are probably the nothingness and emptiness he feels during his creative block era, and them creating and playing instruments are meant to express him still trying to create “something good” out of them.. this cheerful hopeful heartwarming anthem for all the introverts out there really moves me 🥰
" I can make somethy good" and " I'll be alive next year" gives me hope and the strong that a lot of times I need them, I think, I'm sure that Look At The Sky is that kind of song that can makes a better person, and maybe sounds silly or dumb but I feel that this song had helped a lot of time, since Sky Secret Festival when I heard it I feel something that I can explain, just is so relaxing and so beauty.
Gives hope that one day I'll be better and that I have to fight to get them
ghost is not sad anymore
YAYYYYYYY
So cool
yep he has a lot of stuff hahaha
they kinda look like amogus
It's 2022 and I'm still alive and looking at the sky..
The only thing that missing is one of my friend that passed away last year..
I don't know if anyone will see this but this song has spoke volumes to me in ways I can't explain. Thank you so much Porter Robinson for getting me through these very hard times. Best wishes to you!
"Look at the sky, I'm still here
I'll be alive next year". In my mind these words don't stop ringing
Same.
favorite video of nurture so far yo this GOES
Yep.
Lol ur comment is on porters tweet that’s sick
@@DayyFinesse shameless self promoting
:0 its u
My fav is still "Something Comforting"
This is the second.
i still remember when i first heard this song. i was at my grandma's home for my vacation. my grandparents sleep early nearly at 8 pm. i used to stay up till early morning to watch movies and vibe. it usually gets depressing and i regretted a lot my actions at that time. i used to listen songs at late night via VH1 ( a tv channel dedicated for musicc , part of mtv ) suddenly this song pops out of nowhere in vh1 nocturne. it had a bright and beautiful vibe which made me happy. i am out of words to explain that moment. whenever i get sad or depressed, i listen to this song. this song is my fav. THANKYOU PORTER ROBINSON for helping me by creating such a unique and lovely song. >333
The boys supporting their musical friend the best they can
Me and the boys making good music:
Everything is good with the boys...
worlds was personal to porter, but im getting an even stronger sense of that from nurture so far. we're hearing a lot more of his actual voice, and in the music videos, we're actually seeing him perform to us and be the center focus. while worlds made him feel distant, nurture so far has been able to make me feel connected to porter, as an artist and a person, and not just as some emoticon mascot.
I've been drowning myself in a lot of negativity recently and I don't listen to Porter Robinson all that often, but I do know that his music is fucking magical, so listening to this right now just kinda got to me a lot because nothing has told me "It'll get better" quite like this
Definitely gonna cry again to this later
Agree!! Doesnt this song sound like a theme-song to an anime!! Love it!!
Welcome to the community! I’ve seen him live for his worlds tour and again for his shelter tour and the live experience is beyond incredible highly recommend when you get a chance! Porter and I kinda have a similar timeline w our struggles and recently after battling depression I got my dream job two weeks ago, keep pushing you’ll be alive next year
Heard this on the radio on the way home, from the grocery store. Had a super bad panic attack in there lol.
This is the best song. We are still here.
The first time I heard this song was in February 2021, at that time I was preparing a surprise party for my father for his birthday.
I was decorating the backyard while I was listening to this beautiful song.
For a while I sat on the hammock while I saw the trees, the sunlight, part of the sky (ironic that the song was called what I was doing).
Who would have thought that almost 3 months later my father passed away, thinking that that was the last time I threw him a surprise party.
Until now I remember that time with this song, whenever I listen to it I go back in time and I have the same landscape. I really miss him :(
The best part for me is from 2:35 to 2:52, I feel like he somehow communicates that to me and I can feel it.
Thank you very much Porter Robinson for making this beautiful song and remembering how happy I was at that time while listening to this song.
Man ive been sleeping on porter since i last listened in the skrillex hayday. I gotta say, Porter might not be as influental as skrillex has been in the music industry. Porter is still one of the greatest musicians of our generation. His new music is truly amazing.
The fact that he actually describes what the MV is about in the description is one of the many things I like about him. He's never afraid to be straightforward with his vision, honestly I was confused seeing the music video for the first time but then I knew exactly what to do; check the description. I love and respect his confidence in showcasing emotions indulged in making the video.
yeah I got chills when I read the description
porter just has his own genre by now
he's just on another level
Honesty..
he created Complextro, Pioneered Future Bass, and now this?!
Porter, I have never commented on your videos before, but I just wanted to thank you for all the Nurture songs. They have helped me so much during the last months and I just can't thank you enough for them. Look at the Sky is my favourite from all of them and it has saved me so many times. It just feels so comforting having a song that exactly describes how you feel, so... thank you so so so much!! 💚💚
To whoever reads this: You are a strong and wonderful person and I'm sure that whatever you currently go through will get better someday. I'm just a stranger on the internet, but please feel hugged by me, you got this :') 💕
Much love stranger! I hope life is going great for you. ❤
Thanks Riot for always making top tier songs with top tier singers, didn't know i needed this kind of music so bad
Welcome to Nurture man :)
My brother passed away from cancer a week ago after fighting against it for years, beating a diagnosis by well over 12 months.
He was alive this year, and I'm so happy I got to spend more time with him before the end ❤ Thanks for making things easier with music like this, Porter.
"...will make something good..."
Am sorry for your loss, glad you could spend time with him before he went
God bless you idk if u believe but just want to share some encouragement I believe u will see him in heaven one day 🥺🙏
Just look at the sky 💕😔
That line “You’re losing your gift and it’s plain to see” hit me pretty fucking hard. I’m studying opera at school, and through December and January I just couldn’t bring myself to do anything to the point where I was considering dropping out of school because I felt like I just couldn’t do anything. However in February I’m mentally back in school and I’m singing better than ever :)
Keep on being you bro, God loves you and so do many people. Keep making magic
@@sixstringblues06 Thanks I really appreciate that bro
Dude I'm a Trumpet player and I got braces in August. I didn't touch my trumpet for like a month and a half. I feel like I'm in 6th grade again, and not in a good way
@@byroniusthegreat4300 Just keep at it. Don't let it discourage you. The more effort you put in now, the easier it will be when you get them off :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
porter will never know how much his music has helped me, thank you
Finally you make your wish come true, WELCOME TO DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION , PORTER.
When I went thru depression, I used to go out for a walk.
Looking at the sky and feeling the sunlight allover me was something that made me feel with life and energy again...
I don't really go outside, but when I do I always look at the sky
I also have depression and that line "I'll be alive next year" just really hits. This song just makes me feel so hopeful and I hope it does that to you, too.
Remember all good things come from God who gave us this day to look up and appreciate that we are still here and to have a positive impact on others, it’s only when we’re gone can we see how much of an impact we had on some else’s life and how much were needed. Stay Strong God bless
Reading this gives me nostalgic feeling, i completely dont understand why
It sucks when you have social phobia on top of the depression so you can't see the sun :(
My brother passed away on Jan 1st and when he says "i'll be alive next year" it hit's harder than a car.
I'm so sorry bro
Sorry for your loss...
I hope you will be okay! Find strength through these messages stay safe out there bro❤ sending positive thoughts your way🙏
Your love and sorrow for your brother is beautiful. May you have the support you need to navigate the windy road through grief
I'm so sorry for your loss!
Thank you for existing, dear Porter. I've been through so much lately and your music helped me to feel alive. Thank you forever. You're the only one.
Don't know if you'll see this man but this song means a lot to me. It got me through probably the roughest time in my life. Please don't stop sharing your talent with the world. You are changing lives for the better.
i have severe mental illness and had a serious episode 2 nights ago. it's no exaggeration to say this song saved my life. you don't know me, and i'm too ashamed to give details, but just know you kept me from the brink of a very bad decision. i'm still here. thank you thank you thank you.
I’m glad you’re still here ❤️
@@AirWreckerr thank you, so am i. ♥️
Hang in there ! Let this song bring you peace. You’ll be here next year ! 🙏
sending you love
❤️
自分の気持ちに正直になって、
人を信じる事を恐れないで、
普遍を求め続けていけたら、
私は私でいられる気がする。
流れ続ける川が
止まることを知らないように、
流れ続ける時代に身を任せ
強く儚く生きていたい。
👏🏻
I have one hour to enjoy this song
I know you wont see this, but my dog died today... this song is the only thing holding me together rn. thank you for all the music over the years porter.
OKAY BUT THIS VIDEO REMINDS ME OF STUDIO GHIBLI, very beautifully artistic.

Look at it! Look at iiiit!
Porter Robinson is one of the only musicians that can elicit genuine feelings and deep thought with a song outta me. I don't think he'll ever understand how much his music has impacted me, because I myself don't. All I know is, I can't believe I was born in just the right year to be able to listen to his music. If I reincarnate, I hope it's in a timeline where he's still making bangers like this. He'll probably never see this comment, but if he does, then thank you, from the deepest depths of my being
This song needs to reach 100M views for mankind.
This man make the electronic music so natural
So true..
I'm just casually watching on repeat sobbing my ass off. In trauma recovery and I don't want to kill myself for the first time in 20 years. I'll be alive next year.
You deserve to be heard. You will be alive next year. Cheers random friend.
Can’t even explain. Same boat. I hope your breathing easier now, friend. ❤️
Just hold on. We can make something good together.
Chin up my friend good times are always around the corner 😛👌
Im so fucking happy you're still here
This was the song that broke me when I heard it live. My first concert back after all of the shit we've had with the last couple of years, singing that chorus back brought me to tears, and hit harder than anything else has. Thank you, Porter.
I've never heard this song in my childhood but the melody giving me a nostalgic vibe
my first new album in 7 years, “nurture” is out now! porter.fm/nurture
AAAAAAH!!! So exciting!
Epic
Your music is always inspiring. Looking forward to this album and what's to come next :), Thanks Porter.
poggers
Yess
i got "ill be alive next year" tattooed on my after hearing this during secret sky. i didnt think i'd make it this far. i look at it now and marvel at how far i've come since last may. thank you so much for this song porter ily
This music video is so interesting. Just imagine some ghouly creatures with a mask surrounding you. Not to attack nor harm you. But to comfort you, to help you. They play music. They look at the sky. And they give us a surprising ending.
今､この曲に助けられてる。本当にありがとう､ポーター
これは曲の力です
Last year my dad passed away in the middle of the pandemic after a long illness. Porter`s music has been a companion and a source of hope. I don't really know what the lyrics or the video intended, but I feel this song as a chant for hope, for believing that although things seem shitty right now, there is gonna be a new you waiting around the corner. A new you that will finally look at the sky and feel gratefull for overcoming those rough and sad times. At least that is my experience, and I cherish it.
his music has this melancholic sound but also feels hopeful
Keep fighting homie
My dad passed in 2019... I feel you 100% brother, this music resonates... Just hang in there, find whatever/whoever it is that inspires you and keep pushing on. And if there’s something that you’ve always wanted to do, go for it... Life is too short.
My aunt died last year to cancer, and hearing these lyrics only made me think of what I'd lost; what could have been. Facing a similar loss, you still managed to find hope in this song and its message. Your resilience is inspiring, thank your for sharing and sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear that man
4:55 I love how the sky flickers at the end
damn it's gotta be so hot inside that studio when they use tole roof :<
Making this MV have to be so hard but well done Porter :>>
Hey yow Hyunsuk is promoting your song. AND hyunsuk did not wrong because your song is good in my ear
I don't want to tell some stories about what this song's mean to me because who cares, but this song gives me hope to still be happy and have happy thoughts even if all goes wrong
So, i see it this way: The ghosts are his own insecurities when making or performing music. They never leave him alone, EXCEPT when he is not in front of the microphone. They are with him even when using the computer. If you look closely, he's not producing, but just browsing (probably counting views and likes too)
As a musician i found myself in the same situation, it's actually hard
The description has the meaning of the msuic video in it
From the description I understand it that the ghosts around him are the ones who collaborate with him on his music.
From the ones, who make the instruments he is using, to those who support him along the way, the ones who play with him in shows, all the way to those who lived in the past and made the present possible. Without the work, ideas and influences of all these people we wouldn't hear the song.
At the end, the video makes us the creator and turns Porter into one of the collaborators on our journey.
In the description he mentioned that as an artist we are never really work alone, take for an example the computer he uses and the pack, the vst ( sounds ), the daw (fruity loops) he uses made by another person so essentially it's a collaborative effort, these ghosts for me is those other people and strangers, porter doesnt necessarily know them directly but they're there to help porter craft his music, more examples shown in the acoustic guitar part where it's actually the ghost playing it for him, the actual acoustic guitar part is played by Yvette Young. This MV isnt really an visual representation of the lyric but extending his meaning to " i'll be alive next year " , in the end he beome part of the ghost and it means his work will also be a part of other people work in the future, he mentioned this cycle is like everyone crafting a tapestry together, and his work will outlast his live. So he will be alive next year through his work he put to the world.
they are spirits of music
@@hafidhhh Yes exactly.. And he is already influencing lives of countless people including a lot of musicians too for years, he has contributed a lot already..
Yoo, I can't... My heart melted just seeing Porter Robinson in his Nurture world feels like we're watching him in the process of creating something eccentric yet magical.
Get Your wish with Water, Something Comforting with Earth, Mirror has some fire elements but that's me flexing >_
Water,Earth,Fire,Air combine those elements and you will meet Porter as the Avatar, Skrillex as the fire bending prince, Madeon the guy with no bending powers bruh and the Anamaguchi the dead ancestors of the last avatar.
And that's what I can think about it now bye
@@doodlehobbo8697 yeah madeon has no bending powers but he's really good at seducing people with his vocals
@@milkyproduxions HECK YEAH that's a GOOD IDEA!!! HOW BRILLIANT
@@doodlehobbo8697 I give you 10 billion cookies for this.
I personally saw Something Comforting as Fire and Mirror as Earth because something comforting has charred grass and embers flying in the air but I can see how Mirror could be Fire as well. I think Porter originally only had 4 singles in mind back when Nurture was gonna come out in 2020 so that was most likely what he was going for and I am here for it! This is currently my favorite MV of the album and probably number 2 overall
A little over a year ago I finally got the opportunity to produce my own music (my lifelong dream) when I got in an accident and lost my ability to use screens or work on music. I found this album at around the same time. Whenever I felt despair or overwhelmed or the urge to give up on music forever, or when others told me to give up, I turned on this album. I spent hours listening to this song, sometimes making me sob, being reminded that I'm still here and I'll be alive next year, and that I can still make something good. I resonate with all of this song. It's been a year now, and while I'm not totally healed yet, now I'm back at producing again!
This speaks to me and is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. I cry every time I listen to it.
God damn this is so beautiful in every way
Hey Evan
yes true
Yesss!!
hi
“I’ll be alive next year”. How can one lyric bring so much out of me and give me so much hope? Thank you Porter for being one of the greatest artists I have ever been blessed to hear.
Sincerely Thank you ❤️
this album litterally gets better every listen and thats true with so little albums
I often catch myself listening to this song multiple times a day, this whole album is so beautiful. I'll blast this song while driving and just sing along to it Everytime. Thank you so much PR, much love and respect!
PR is so good.
Everyone: *philosophy time*
Me: those ghosts are adorable
they kinda look like amogus
_oh hey hornet_

These are my personal interpretations after watching this MV:
1)The ghosts we see here are all representation of Porter's past.
2)The forest floor represents the personal sanctuary his room is, where he produces all his music.
3) We see ghosts breaking every white material possible which I believe are associated with his memories. They are found in this room of isolation as it is natural for anyone in this pandemic to constantly revisit the past, where days were more normal. The past is discovered, rematerialised, and become the source of his inspiration for his music. This represents growth(which I believe is the central theme of Nurture) by acceptance of his own past.
4) We can observe Porter constantly avoiding the ghosts from the start, not facing them even once even though they completely surround him. They are constant reminders of his traumas, his past, even though the source of his inspiration are from the same memories. They make him cry but the same ghosts also wipe his tears. Another sign of him accepting his past, and making peace with it.
5) In the end we see the sky becoming the roof of the stage, which he misses greatly, and then turns into a ghost himself, which represents how he expects this present reality(pandemic) to soon also become a part of his past and everyone else's.
P.S.- I enjoy Porter's music+music videos so much and this is probably the first time I wrote such a lengthy analysis! T_T I am soooo hyped for the album release in April.
P.P.S.- NOTICE ME PLEASE PORTER SENPAI(MY FREN SUGGESTED ME TO WRITE THIS SO HERE IT IS T____T)
nice interpretation!
I dont think the bit about the pandemic is accurate as this song was written in 2016 or something
6. no face from spirited away
@@JQ3B94 The riff was composed in 2016 but maybe the lyrics were a more recent addition.
also the description literally tells us the meaning
I'm addicted to this. I'm really fighting to stay alive in this world.
