My dad and I listened to all of watskys music together when I was a preteen. I'm now 21, dad sadly passed a few months ago but the memories of listening to watsky with him will never fade.
Mid thirties. My 7 year old son and I both love listening to watsky together. He loves Cardboard Castles . I'm glad you had that. Thank you for reminding me life's short.
My wife died in Sept. last year. I have never known anyone as incredible as her. Life without her just feels meaningless. This song always makes me remember every moment we shared, good and bad. Thank you @WATSKY for always finding a way express exactly how I feel.
I've heard a lot of songs that say "you still matter no matter what you've been through" but this is the first time I've really FELT it... this is so uplifting and I love it
This is one of those songs that I end up listening to at 3:00 o'clock in the morning with the feeling of crippling loneliness. That's why I love it so much...
I grew up. Got married. Got divorced. Repeat. This song still strikes as deep as it did the 1st time I heard it so many years ago... Jan 10th 2025 and is still one of my favourites ❤
Watsky is not a rapper. He is a true poet. He speaks purely from the heart. Watsky inspires me when I am down. He encourages me to work and live. I don't think he realizes the affect he makes on normal peoples lives. Thank you Watsky for giving me that "extra push" during the day with your music. From one of your true fans.
anyone else agree that the reason this is such a good song is because you can listen to it when your at your highest moment, and your lowest. At 5 Pm, and 3 am, with or without friends, while depressed, or in love! Its such an amazing song, but the girl who showed it to me was even better :( Still the best song I own
My childhood man. I come back to these songs every few months or once a year. Never forget your roots but continue growing. Trees don’t stay with grass even though they start at same place.
This song always punches me square in the gut. It reminds me that I am worthy, I *am* capable of loving and being loved. For all the miles and scars I've gotten in 25 years, I am not less. Thank you, Watsky, for reminding me of that.
Im gonna dump a little here, I don't think anyone will actually read this all the way through but I want to write it. I found this song a long time ago, my dad showed it to me. Ever since then I told myself the person id love would be able to be just like this song describes. I have gone through many heartaches thinking I finally found them up till recently. I was single for over a year and then he walked in, the thing is I didn't realize how accurate this song would end up being. He had been in a car wreck in September, and even though it wasn't his arm injured the most, he broke his femur. I've been able to have the honor of watching him heal, to take his first steps since the accident. Its amazing to finally see him getting off the crutches. So I suppose I was waiting for somebody to fit the whole song, not just the aesthetic. He cried the first time I sent him it. Its been our song, ill fall asleep on call to him singing it, and we share the same favorite line "im fucked up just like you are, and you're fucked up just like me". This song hits us hard, especially as a long distance couple. I love him so much, and hope he never let's go, cause im not going to.
@Lex I saw and I read your entire comment. I do hope your friend has completely recovered from his accident. My son showed me this song years ago. I just now watched the video tho. It’s such a great song! There is so much truth to every verse. My favorite line in the song is the same as y’all’s... “I’m fucked up like you are and you’re fucked up just like me.” Lex I’m wishing y’all good health and happiness. 😘
@@63brennan still going strong. I moved in with him a few months ago. In a couple of months will be our anniversary. I moved in pretty soon with him, but when he came to visit me I decided I couldn't let him leave without me
i dont think anyone will read this either but here i go respect to you, hope you two are still together. hope your friend recovered well, and blessings be with you.
@damri_notfound We're engaged and live together now. He's made a full recovery and only has a slight limp now. We're fully expecting to spend the rest of our lives together
The best people I know are the wounded, the seemingly strange, the outside the box folks, the ones with the raw nerve endings to the world, the ones that feel the deepest, that think the clearest, that have compassion because they have been to the depths of despair at the hands of others yet still reach out to others and love fiercely. Give them here, we can be broken together chillin comfortably with all the skeletons and elephants.
I’m completely broken, in fact my GF says that I’m “beautifully broken”. I survived 5 tours overseas, 2 in Iraq and 3 in Afghanistan with the 75th, was hit by an IED and now have epilepsy, TBI, and PTSD. Watsky and his music helps me get through some of my tougher times.
@@mortarhound78thank you for sharing that, I hope you still have support. Know that the worst of us are actually exactly what someone else might need to heal or at least not feel alone.
@@CameronGoodsellTime do be funny like that. I'm the same age as thread OP. And I first heard the song like a week ago. Picked up the thread with an old best friend after a 5year relationship totally drained my social life. And boy did it hit just at the right time.
As a french man I do not understand allthe lyrics, but the music, your voice, the movie, that's all kind of expressive things that really touch me. I never fought I could love rap music, maybe because I never heard this kind of music enough (I preffer Brutal metal music by the way) But, how you did that was totally great, and in every clips you've done I can feel that expressive sound I love so much. Guy, you're doing a good job!
@@DesertDweller1776 depending on how you look at it it can be not all rap music is trap. Like occasionally when twenty one pilots breaks into fast verses it counts as rap but then goes back into vocals. ** Alternative Rap
"I don't care where you been how many miles I still love you"...like this is so beautiful it just expresses how there will be someone out there who will appreciate and love you and all the past doesn't matter.... Watsky is just a good soul... I wish more people were like him
Your welcome and I didn't appreciate your friend talking stuff about me if u do need to talk I'm here I'm a good person and I'm true and loyal and stuff
First Watsky song I ever bought. I wish I had found him sooner. But I really love him because he's genuine and his lyrics are so filled with meaning and they're so intelligent.
My tour guide in Hawaii had this song on her playlist today during sunset and it was one of the most beautiful moments in my life. Much love Watsky from a long time fan
Стамбул, утро 17 декабря, шум города за окном, вой сирен вдали. День ещё толком не начался, хотя уже ощущается его дыхание. Решил переслушать песню и это такой кайф, отлично слова подобраны, метко)
Thank you so much for writing and sharing this. I've been through a lot of very bad life experiences and ended up with several mental illnesses as a result. I've always thought of myself as a broken burden that no one would ever love, but that changed the day I found this song. The first time I listened to it, I couldn't help crying and listening to it on repeat. Thank you for telling me that I am still worthy of love.
10 years ago, I was completely lost. i was divorced, with a 1 year old. I felt like no one would ever be interested in me. The guy that I started dating later dedicated this song to me. We aren't together anymore. But I'm still so grateful for him showing me this song and making me feel like i was worth something❤
lol "the first time i listened to watsky" me and my 2 buddies where driving to go blaze listening to sirius sat radio and it just kinda come on and by the end of the song we had park and all looked at each other and were like wow who was that, i need to find more songs by this guy named watsky, and so we did and since then he's been one of my favourites, lol i'll probably never forget it, just cuz the song is like one of a kind
This is song is so beautifully powerful. I'm stilling reeling from the ending of an incredible relationship, and listening to this song makes me feel so warm inside. Watsky is such a fantastic songwriter.
Watsky, i'm so glad i finally gave you a chance, your music has truly changed my everyday view on life. Especially this song. You're amazing, man. TRULY.
I'm really glad this song exists. It's a nice reminder that it's okay to be broken, it's okay to be sad, it's okay to be not okay. No matter how alone you feel, there are people out there for you, and being fucked up doesn't mean you're worth less than you were at the start.
I love this song so much, because of the irony that I associate with this song, this was my ex-girlfriends favourite song because of how it described our relationship, we are long distance so this song related to us, we were both very broken people, but we helped each other fix ourselves, this was our favourite song because of this. But after a year and a half, she changed, songs like this didn't matter to her, she started not to miss me, I still loved this song but she had changed, long story short, she broke my heart and now I am broken again, yet I still love this song, it makes me sad because it reminds me of how we both felt years ago, but makes me happy because I know I am still me and she is just lost on the wrong path, but I also love the irony, she used to say this song will always describe us, now she's sleeping with everyone and I am yet to find someone that will help me rebuild, but I am happy, I am contempt because I'd rather be alone and sad, than be what she has turned into, thank you Watsky, this song alone has made me feel every emotion possible, that is rare
In 2018, I had a traumatic car accident that fortunately didn't kill anyone, but threw my life into shit. I still haven't fully recovered from the financial, mental, and emotional effects, but this song helps me cry it out, even if that's not the message of the song. Thanks, Watsky. We love you.
I'm so sorry for your loss. This song made me cry when I first heard it. I was working at a crappy pizza place in the hood. Missing my best friend who passed away terribly. She had worked at a pizza shop too. This song makes me think of her. 💜💓❤️🩹🙏😇
this was my friend Alyssa Cardona’s favourite song. found out at her candlelight, & i recognize sooo many lyrics from her tweets haha. love this. cant stop listening. love you alyssa
You saying that reminds me of those who loved Gary’s Song from B182, they didn’t last long on this earth. I was able to save a few by having them STOP listening to it.
I was just thinking that I was listening to this. His flow, rhyming, story telling, composition of beats is like years of hard work. Not just 3 years...
first time hearing this guy and this song makes me happy. I like when people don't limit rap to struggling in a ghetto or how tough the person is, it can be positive and still be real.
I had a friend that would always play this song. I forgot about it until I just now stumbled upon it. Bless the TH-cam algorithm for letting my find this song again
Watsky, your music really touches close to home, this song in particular. You are a breath of fresh air in an industry full of stale musty watered-down copycats. Thank you.
This song gives me hope because I haven't had the best experience with relationships and I'm not skinny. Its nice to know there are still some decent guys out there. Thanks Watsky.
This song reminds me of one of the most amazing people i have ever met. He helped me thru my divorce from my abusive ex. He was a lot younger than I am. There were so many nights that we would drive around and talk and hike in the dark just cuz. He introduced me to so much music i had never heard of. Told me he didn't care about my past. That i was an amazing person that deserved the best. I sit and listen to this now and think of him and cry tears of longing as well as laughter. The adventures were ones ill never forget.
This song helps me with my isolation issues and the hatred I carry around toward myself for the things I've done. Watsky your music has saved my life so many times. Keep it real.
This was the first song i heard from him in 2019. Finally got the chance to see him live in Portland Oregon May 2,2023. I know I'm not a long time fan, ie for over 10plus years, but I'm definitely a hardcore fan of him. He's just such a special human. He is like everyone's best friend who finds him. He speaks to our hearts so much. This song live made my life. He's so incredible. Doesn't matter when you find George Watsky, it just matters that you have found him.❤ He's a gem 💎
I showed this to a girl I started dating recently, after the song finished she was crying and hugged me and told me that this video reminded her of what she wants from our relationship....It was truly an amazing feeling, thank you WATSKY!
I just got out of a very abusive relationship. It was a year of verbal and emotional abuse until he snapped and put hands on me in front of my daughter. I've been so lost trying to get it together because mothers don't get a day off to break down. I was on my way to the police station when this came on my Amazon music suggestion list. I pulled over to listen to it. I wanted to hear it because I felt it on a molecular level. It was the first thing to make me smile and feel normal. Like maybe this bad patch is a bad patch and that's all. I didn't hurt or feel numb. It was feeling the sun for the first time. I kept playing it. I found the video on TH-cam and I kept sending it to anyone who was sad and hurt or going through some dark shit. This is the first thing I've found that helps. I couldn't eat. I felt suffocated. And then along comes Watsky making me feel like I'm not alone. I can't say thank you enough. It's strange to think that I might not have had it in me to seek help if I didn't hear it. I might not have gone back to my mother. I might have gone back until he put me in the hospital. But I didn't. All because of some 3 minute and change long song promoting the love that you can find in the smallest things we take for granted. I know that big picture its just a song but when everything is dark and you get so desperate that you consider some real bad ideas this kind of art turns in to the difference between life and death. And I'm choosing life.
Keep your head up girl. Keep listening to watsky. He and Grieves saved my life when I felt I had no way out. This song "Sloppy Seconds" means so much to me I got it tattooed on my chest. Keep on smiling. It all gets better 🤘
Study after study shows the one constant in abusive relationships are the women. The men seem to never have repeats while the woman hop from one supposedly "abusive" relationship to the next.. You may be addicted to the victimhood sympathy you get from people in your life and from strangers on the internet
I'm 14 and this dude is my total inspiration right now, I'm in the media center skipping lunch like I always do trying to find some hope...and Watsky's always there when i need him.
When people leave high school, they only really stay friends with those who stay living near them, and even then half of those friendships end. So realistically it's better to spend your time in high school working towards your life goals than making friends that could be bad influences. I say go ahead and keep skipping lunch, find your rock elsewhere, especially if it's right here with music, because music will never betray you.
I just read my old tweets and saw I tweeted the lyrics of this song, so many old memories of my ex. Kinda hurt and simultaneously thinking of the greatest times i've ever had 7 years ago, wish it all went different and I changed with you. You still have a place in my heart maureen
Way better than most of the shit on the radio right now. Can't wait to see the day when he gets his awesome messages and crazy talent on there, to show 'em what real art is.
Tommy Tran Who the fuck tries to hit on someone in a youtube video's comments section, damn. And by _negging_ no less, like, c'mon man. There's class, there's a lack of it, and then there's throwing your streaky underwear at the wall and clapping like a seal at the zoo when it sticks. Your comment falls into the last category.
Watsky keeps it real, no fluff or trash - just straight talk. You can tell he's ridiculously intelligent and he brings the content with the catchiest delivery. P.S.- the feature artist is the spitting image of Amy Winehouse and I'm in love. #Watsky #Sold
I don't know why but this old song just sort of speaks to me. I love how you explain the positive aspects of time passage. That you are like pizza that you find in the fridge, someone will be happy to see it. Everyone is worth something no matter what has happened to them or what kind of life they have lived.
zSc0pe I wasn't trying to be a "dipshit" the way that he worded it sounded like he was being sarcastic. To the person that replied to my comment: I'm sorry I misinterpreted you. I apologize. You can never tell on TH-cam, especially with sarcasm because a lot of people act like assholes and I'm very sorry that I came off that way and didn't understand what you were trying to say. I'm really sorry. *insert sad face of your choice here* And to the person I'm replying to now: I'm glad you clarified what he was saying, but I will also say fuck you for being as rude as most of the assholes on here. But other than that. Thanks again for letting me know I that misunderstood. (:
Scounger01 Look dude, I already apologized for what I said. There's no reason to comment about it any further. I admitted I was wrong and said I was sorry.
Yep. I stalked up to an exhausted sickly deer sleeping leaning against a tree and this song came to mind. Don't ask me why. I do kind of wanna bring that deer home and deworm him, get him back on his feet.
Man this song takes me back. Granted it ain't that old but to me it's a classic that I'll be bumping for as long as I live. Thanks for the great music, Watsky(:
Parked my truck due to issues with the registration with this CD in the player. 6 weeks later after having driven my suburban around i started my truck to move it, and the stereo came in perfectly on this song, on the line "i dont care where you've been, i still love you". My truck was talking to me through a watsky CD
The last song I listened to with my aunt before she passed, I was homeless and left hundreds of miles away, this song jus remind me not to let go or give up.. fr a hood classic
My dad and I used to listen to this song. This is an absolute classic song, thank you so much Watsky + Myrtle Gunderson for all the memories. In May, it’ll be two years of his passing, and I will probably bump this song on that day, May 13.
This was the first song I heard of his. The song I had in my head when I fell in love, the song I heard when I lost her, and still my favourite song. Bitter sweet man.
I completely get that feeling man, not the first song of his I heard, but definitely the one that cuts the deepest, brings up those bitter sweet memories of the girl that once loved me but has since moved on
This song illustrates the positive side of second hand or otherwise re-used items, showing that an old object with a bit of character and a story is often more valuable than a brand new, pristine one which has no depth to it - and the same goes for people, too.
your music has had such a effect on my whole life and in a way formed me into the person I am today and I'm thankful for that. I've been listening to your music since I was about 11 and I've always loved your music and the vibe you give. I've just been waiting & waiting for you to blow up and get really popular but that never really happened. That's ok, I think it's better this way anyways. You really inspired me to do whatever the fck I want in life while still caring about myself and important things. Your music makes me think deeper about life and provides me a sense of comfort and I love knowing that it's here and I can come back to it whenever I need it. I hope you see this and even if you don't, that's fine. I just wanted to say thank you :)
Caught his show in Vans Warped Tour 2017, in Shakopee, MN. He was so good to his fans! The show was off the hook and he seemed to love his fans as much as they loved him. Amazing performer! Nothing Gory Means No Glory.
"And there's not a single place that I would rather be, I'm fucked just like you are and you're fucked up just like me." ♥️ That line always hits me hard
This song always makes me think of my brother. We both found watsky when we were young (back when cardboard castles first came out) and saw him live in 2017, in the worst of my drug addiction. Always gives me strength to keep going when I feel like giving up.
Amazing song, a very much needed addition to my playlist, and to be honest, probably relevant to everyone at some point in their lifetime. I remember the scene with Jay and Silent Bob in Chasing Amy, where silent Bob goes on about pushing this girl he loved away because of his own insecurities, because she was 'experienced' and had previous lovers, and that made him feel small, inexperienced, and he lashed out at her for doing all these things in her past. She kept saying it was all in the past, and didn't apologize because she didn't think she had done anything wrong, but silent Bob kept pushing her away and tearing her down, and said 'it's over' and walked away. He went on to say how he always regretted that moment, he realized it was his own insecurities, and spent every moment since then "Chasing Amy". I felt the same way. I felt inexperienced when I met one of my girlfriends, and I would lash out as well. Felt like I was getting someone's 'sloppy seconds' or that they were a promiscuous, or a slut, whatever. And I pushed those girls away. Not realizing they liked me for who I was, and I was not loving them for who they were, but only seeing them for who they were in their past. Similar to silent Bob, and similar to how I interpret this song. This song is more emotionally mature than I am. I guess I was just too immature to see past my own insecurities and love someone for who they were. Then I heard this song, watched Chasing Amy, and it gave me some perspective at a much needed time in my life. And I'll forever be grateful for that, for Watsky and Smith. Like the lyrics say, "I don't care, where you've been, how many miles, I still love you."
My daughter is going through her first break up. Dumped by a Chrisrian for questioning Christianity. I'm sending her this song as an example of what love *SHOULD* look like

I thought it was adolescence, but I'm 24 now and this song is still a masterpiece. Tugging at the heart strings...

Damn you old now and I’m the same age group as when you made this comment. 👀 oh fuck
@@CameronGoodsellTime do be funny like that.
I'm the same age as thread OP. And I first heard the song like a week ago.
Picked up the thread with an old best friend after a 5year relationship totally drained my social life.
And boy did it hit just at the right time.

As a french man I do not understand allthe lyrics, but the music, your voice, the movie, that's all kind of expressive things that really touch me. I never fought I could love rap music, maybe because I never heard this kind of music enough (I preffer Brutal metal music by the way)
But, how you did that was totally great, and in every clips you've done I can feel that expressive sound I love so much. Guy, you're doing a good job!
^ The real power of music. And the reason I love it so much; it's a universal language
Oui C’est une musique de qualitè
Sorry if that doesn’t make sense I’m only 13 and only just learn French
This is NOT rap
@@DesertDweller1776 depending on how you look at it it can be not all rap music is trap. Like occasionally when twenty one pilots breaks into fast verses it counts as rap but then goes back into vocals.
** Alternative Rap
@@DesertDweller1776 Yes it is
"I don't care where you been how many miles I still love you"...like this is so beautiful it just expresses how there will be someone out there who will appreciate and love you and all the past doesn't matter.... Watsky is just a good soul... I wish more people were like him
I remember the first time hearing this song, it was truly magical. It just has that warm feeling every time you hear it.
Dave Byrne That's how I feel every time I hear this song. My happy place has a new theme song.
Friday Ford
Even though its a love song, I'm picked up when I'm down about my love life, somehow, and it does it wonderfully
It's def not a sad song for me at all. I love it. we are all leftovers and sloppy seconds.
Years on and this has never gotten old. It’s such a fantastic song.
When you played this. That was when my heart started beating again.
Yep at least u happy
Jesus who are you? I mean there isn't anything I can do...
Don't give up OK he's always there for you and I am to if you need someone to talk to I'm here
Oh okay, Thank you.
Your welcome and I didn't appreciate your friend talking stuff about me if u do need to talk I'm here I'm a good person and I'm true and loyal and stuff
First Watsky song I ever bought. I wish I had found him sooner. But I really love him because he's genuine and his lyrics are so filled with meaning and they're so intelligent.
My tour guide in Hawaii had this song on her playlist today during sunset and it was one of the most beautiful moments in my life. Much love Watsky from a long time fan
Стамбул, утро 17 декабря, шум города за окном, вой сирен вдали. День ещё толком не начался, хотя уже ощущается его дыхание. Решил переслушать песню и это такой кайф, отлично слова подобраны, метко)
This is one of the most romantic things I've ever seen/heard. Thank you for the reassurance that people like you are still out there.
Thank you so much for writing and sharing this. I've been through a lot of very bad life experiences and ended up with several mental illnesses as a result. I've always thought of myself as a broken burden that no one would ever love, but that changed the day I found this song. The first time I listened to it, I couldn't help crying and listening to it on repeat. Thank you for telling me that I am still worthy of love.
10 years ago, I was completely lost. i was divorced, with a 1 year old. I felt like no one would ever be interested in me. The guy that I started dating later dedicated this song to me. We aren't together anymore. But I'm still so grateful for him showing me this song and making me feel like i was worth something❤
Years later I still come back to watsky.
He might not be going anywhere right now, but he definitely went straight into my heart.
From 22 to 32 and this song still great!
same from 18 to 26 it still feels good
this was the first song i ever heard by watsky and i still remember how magical it was lol
That happened to me too.
Same, never looked back since
Same :> My ex sent it to me
lol "the first time i listened to watsky" me and my 2 buddies where driving to go blaze listening to sirius sat radio and it just kinda come on and by the end of the song we had park and all looked at each other and were like wow who was that, i need to find more songs by this guy named watsky, and so we did and since then he's been one of my favourites, lol i'll probably never forget it, just cuz the song is like one of a kind
Tony Cuneo either this or cardboard castles
Accidentally clicked on this song the other day trying to find new music . Best mistake I’ve ever made . So underrated
This is song is so beautifully powerful.
I'm stilling reeling from the ending of an incredible relationship, and listening to this song makes me feel so warm inside. Watsky is such a fantastic songwriter.
terefgerth
Watsky, i'm so glad i finally gave you a chance, your music has truly changed my everyday view on life. Especially this song. You're amazing, man. TRULY.
Not every musician is an artist. The majority of people on the radio I would never consider an artist. But George Watsky is a true artist.
Reminds me of skipping school with my best friend and driving around the countryside while smoking a blunt. Miss those days
I'm really glad this song exists. It's a nice reminder that it's okay to be broken, it's okay to be sad, it's okay to be not okay. No matter how alone you feel, there are people out there for you, and being fucked up doesn't mean you're worth less than you were at the start.
I love this song so much, because of the irony that I associate with this song, this was my ex-girlfriends favourite song because of how it described our relationship, we are long distance so this song related to us, we were both very broken people, but we helped each other fix ourselves, this was our favourite song because of this. But after a year and a half, she changed, songs like this didn't matter to her, she started not to miss me, I still loved this song but she had changed, long story short, she broke my heart and now I am broken again, yet I still love this song, it makes me sad because it reminds me of how we both felt years ago, but makes me happy because I know I am still me and she is just lost on the wrong path, but I also love the irony, she used to say this song will always describe us, now she's sleeping with everyone and I am yet to find someone that will help me rebuild, but I am happy, I am contempt because I'd rather be alone and sad, than be what she has turned into, thank you Watsky, this song alone has made me feel every emotion possible, that is rare
+Samuel Thomas Shaw Beautiful
+Samuel Thomas Shaw People change - you say she "changed" like it's a bad thing.
+Samuel Thomas Shaw Legit me
+irishkk99 +Alex Abitrario
+Samuel Thomas Shaw All respect! This is happening to me right now!
In 2018, I had a traumatic car accident that fortunately didn't kill anyone, but threw my life into shit. I still haven't fully recovered from the financial, mental, and emotional effects, but this song helps me cry it out, even if that's not the message of the song. Thanks, Watsky. We love you.
Sounds like the settlers anthem. I guess you will do - sloppy seconds- like I can't have anything good, so oh well
Love you too. Good luck.
I'm so sorry for your loss. This song made me cry when I first heard it. I was working at a crappy pizza place in the hood. Missing my best friend who passed away terribly. She had worked at a pizza shop too. This song makes me think of her. 💜💓❤️🩹🙏😇
this was my friend Alyssa Cardona’s favourite song. found out at her candlelight, & i recognize sooo many lyrics from her tweets haha. love this. cant stop listening. love you alyssa
rip, Alyssa
Literally making my eye water. RIP
My condolences, mate. Hope you're doing okay.
You saying that reminds me of those who loved Gary’s Song from B182, they didn’t last long on this earth. I was able to save a few by having them STOP listening to it.
Are you saying you blame blink for suicide it’s Adams song actually it’s the opposite
Honestly, Watsky has improved so much, so quick
I was just thinking that I was listening to this. His flow, rhyming, story telling, composition of beats is like years of hard work. Not just 3 years...
that's so true
Check out X Infinity, then you can say it again
first time hearing this guy and this song makes me happy. I like when people don't limit rap to struggling in a ghetto or how tough the person is, it can be positive and still be real.
Why isn't this song all over the place?! This song get's me right in the feels. Broken hearts, give 'em here, give 'em here.
Because is nearly 6 years old
I had a friend that would always play this song. I forgot about it until I just now stumbled upon it. Bless the TH-cam algorithm for letting my find this song again
Watsky, your music really touches close to home, this song in particular. You are a breath of fresh air in an industry full of stale musty watered-down copycats. Thank you.
You worded it perfectly..
true
This song gives me hope because I haven't had the best experience with relationships and I'm not skinny. Its nice to know there are still some decent guys out there. Thanks Watsky.
The energy in the room when he plays this live is incredible, like in a flash of light we all suddenly understand each other.
And the award to the best chorus of any song goes to…
Who
TheTVGM tell us already!
sometime this year would be cool. -.-
FUCKING TELL US ALLREADY
lol 3 years later u still wanna know
This song reminds me of one of the most amazing people i have ever met. He helped me thru my divorce from my abusive ex. He was a lot younger than I am. There were so many nights that we would drive around and talk and hike in the dark just cuz. He introduced me to so much music i had never heard of. Told me he didn't care about my past. That i was an amazing person that deserved the best. I sit and listen to this now and think of him and cry tears of longing as well as laughter. The adventures were ones ill never forget.
He could have my broken heart any day.
SAME!
Same. & I'm a straight dude. xd
xD
seth cawley and she can have mine
Watsky is having a Meet and Greet Tour in December! I'm gonna meet him in December!! Woo!
You deserve to be successful with a song like this. Don't ever lose who you are bud.
I think Cardboard Castles is the most important album to ever help me when I needed it. Thanks man.
This song helps me with my isolation issues and the hatred I carry around toward myself for the things I've done. Watsky your music has saved my life so many times. Keep it real.
This was the first song i heard from him in 2019. Finally got the chance to see him live in Portland Oregon May 2,2023. I know I'm not a long time fan, ie for over 10plus years, but I'm definitely a hardcore fan of him. He's just such a special human. He is like everyone's best friend who finds him. He speaks to our hearts so much. This song live made my life. He's so incredible. Doesn't matter when you find George Watsky, it just matters that you have found him.❤ He's a gem 💎
I showed this to a girl I started dating recently, after the song finished she was crying and hugged me and told me that this video reminded her of what she wants from our relationship....It was truly an amazing feeling, thank you WATSKY!
I just got out of a very abusive relationship. It was a year of verbal and emotional abuse until he snapped and put hands on me in front of my daughter. I've been so lost trying to get it together because mothers don't get a day off to break down. I was on my way to the police station when this came on my Amazon music suggestion list. I pulled over to listen to it. I wanted to hear it because I felt it on a molecular level. It was the first thing to make me smile and feel normal. Like maybe this bad patch is a bad patch and that's all. I didn't hurt or feel numb. It was feeling the sun for the first time. I kept playing it. I found the video on TH-cam and I kept sending it to anyone who was sad and hurt or going through some dark shit. This is the first thing I've found that helps. I couldn't eat. I felt suffocated. And then along comes Watsky making me feel like I'm not alone. I can't say thank you enough. It's strange to think that I might not have had it in me to seek help if I didn't hear it. I might not have gone back to my mother. I might have gone back until he put me in the hospital. But I didn't. All because of some 3 minute and change long song promoting the love that you can find in the smallest things we take for granted. I know that big picture its just a song but when everything is dark and you get so desperate that you consider some real bad ideas this kind of art turns in to the difference between life and death. And I'm choosing life.
Jacqueline Lewis
I believe that everything will be better for you soon. It takes a strong person to go through that❤
Keep your head up girl. Keep listening to watsky. He and Grieves saved my life when I felt I had no way out. This song "Sloppy Seconds" means so much to me I got it tattooed on my chest. Keep on smiling. It all gets better 🤘
Jacqueline Lewis
Stay strong, we support you all the way ❤️🤟🏾🙏🏾
Study after study shows the one constant in abusive relationships are the women. The men seem to never have repeats while the woman hop from one supposedly "abusive" relationship to the next.. You may be addicted to the victimhood sympathy you get from people in your life and from strangers on the internet
@@mikeborrelli193 wtf??? stop fucking victim blaming
I'm 14 and this dude is my total inspiration right now, I'm in the media center skipping lunch like I always do trying to find some hope...and Watsky's always there when i need him.
When people leave high school, they only really stay friends with those who stay living near them, and even then half of those friendships end. So realistically it's better to spend your time in high school working towards your life goals than making friends that could be bad influences. I say go ahead and keep skipping lunch, find your rock elsewhere, especially if it's right here with music, because music will never betray you.
I just read my old tweets and saw I tweeted the lyrics of this song, so many old memories of my ex. Kinda hurt and simultaneously thinking of the greatest times i've ever had 7 years ago, wish it all went different and I changed with you. You still have a place in my heart maureen
Way better than most of the shit on the radio right now. Can't wait to see the day when he gets his awesome messages and crazy talent on there, to show 'em what real art is.
Super thirsty status, but I like your face. Just throwing that out there.
Tommy Tran Super thirsty reply.
Havent listened to the radio in a really long time, but I dont think its any better
Jordan B Opinions, in skill, he's much better than artists on the radio, you can't deny that, but if it's not something you like, than no
Tommy Tran Who the fuck tries to hit on someone in a youtube video's comments section, damn.
And by _negging_ no less, like, c'mon man. There's class, there's a lack of it, and then there's throwing your streaky underwear at the wall and clapping like a seal at the zoo when it sticks. Your comment falls into the last category.
Watsky keeps it real, no fluff or trash - just straight talk. You can tell he's ridiculously intelligent and he brings the content with the catchiest delivery. P.S.- the feature artist is the spitting image of Amy Winehouse and I'm in love. #Watsky #Sold
I don't know why but this old song just sort of speaks to me. I love how you explain the positive aspects of time passage. That you are like pizza that you find in the fridge, someone will be happy to see it. Everyone is worth something no matter what has happened to them or what kind of life they have lived.
Honestly, not only is this one of my favourite songs from George, but this is damn near perfection and one of my all-time favourites.
I am absolutely obsessed with this song.
Me too. I love second hand books with the previous owner's notes and highlights.
ZeLoudGoddess I hope I missed a comment in between. I don't see how that could be misconstrued.
zSc0pe I wasn't trying to be a "dipshit" the way that he worded it sounded like he was being sarcastic.
To the person that replied to my comment: I'm sorry I misinterpreted you. I apologize. You can never tell on TH-cam, especially with sarcasm because a lot of people act like assholes and I'm very sorry that I came off that way and didn't understand what you were trying to say. I'm really sorry. *insert sad face of your choice here*
And to the person I'm replying to now: I'm glad you clarified what he was saying, but I will also say fuck you for being as rude as most of the assholes on here. But other than that. Thanks again for letting me know I that misunderstood. (:
ZeLoudGoddess Watsky fans so deep do
Scounger01 Look dude, I already apologized for what I said. There's no reason to comment about it any further. I admitted I was wrong and said I was sorry.
Watsky: the only person who could make sloppy seconds sound deep and appealing
Anyone here in 2020? This song is still a beautiful piece of art too this day.
Yeah its underrated
I am
Yup
Yep. I stalked up to an exhausted sickly deer sleeping leaning against a tree and this song came to mind. Don't ask me why. I do kind of wanna bring that deer home and deworm him, get him back on his feet.
nope here in 2021 lol
I heard a music critic once say "George Watsky is The Mozart of Rap music 🎶!" ❤❤❤❤❤ #mozartofrap
Man this song takes me back. Granted it ain't that old but to me it's a classic that I'll be bumping for as long as I live. Thanks for the great music, Watsky(:
Dustin Louie it doesn't have to be super old to take you back. This song definitely gives me nostalgia too
Parked my truck due to issues with the registration with this CD in the player.
6 weeks later after having driven my suburban around i started my truck to move it, and the stereo came in perfectly on this song, on the line "i dont care where you've been, i still love you". My truck was talking to me through a watsky CD
Holy shit night rider much ? XD
+Texassince1836 Hahah, that just made my night.
Darksword008 t CT udtu I 8hyt3tuhu
You bought the CD bless your heart
Texassince1836 I wish I could triple like
As a 30 year old millennial this song should be elected the voice of our generation. Anyone who disagrees likes cars for their paint job.
This has been my all time favorite songs for years
this is a certified hood classic
….. literally can’t say that’s not true 😂 your so right!! I totally agree lol
When your hood is a cul de sac
it kinda is really

The last song I listened to with my aunt before she passed, I was homeless and left hundreds of miles away, this song jus remind me not to let go or give up.. fr a hood classic
My kids father played this song around me. Loved this song since the first time I ever heard it. Thanks
You really have to listen to this song 10 time to understand everything he means. Its really quite remarkable.
My dad and I used to listen to this song. This is an absolute classic song, thank you so much Watsky + Myrtle Gunderson for all the memories. In May, it’ll be two years of his passing, and I will probably bump this song on that day, May 13.
this is my favorite driving song.....
Ikr
да... песня класная
Yesss
Killerzero same. Just got introduced to this song
me and my dad sing along while driving it's one of our favorite songs
This video fuels my inner hopeless romantic like no other.
You too, huh.
Wow, you guys feel the same.
I feel y'all
3:44 I think you just might be the first person ever to do a match cut from arm hair to windmills. Well done.
Watsky forever and always. Thank you for cheering me up man. I really appreciate it, more than you know.
This was the first song I heard of his. The song I had in my head when I fell in love, the song I heard when I lost her, and still my favourite song. Bitter sweet man.
I completely get that feeling man, not the first song of his I heard, but definitely the one that cuts the deepest, brings up those bitter sweet memories of the girl that once loved me but has since moved on
i would do anything to hear this song for the first time again. if this is you, enjoy it.
This song illustrates the positive side of second hand or otherwise re-used items, showing that an old object with a bit of character and a story is often more valuable than a brand new, pristine one which has no depth to it - and the same goes for people, too.
10 years later still my favorite song
your music has had such a effect on my whole life and in a way formed me into the person I am today and I'm thankful for that. I've been listening to your music since I was about 11 and I've always loved your music and the vibe you give. I've just been waiting & waiting for you to blow up and get really popular but that never really happened. That's ok, I think it's better this way anyways. You really inspired me to do whatever the fck I want in life while still caring about myself and important things. Your music makes me think deeper about life and provides me a sense of comfort and I love knowing that it's here and I can come back to it whenever I need it. I hope you see this and even if you don't, that's fine. I just wanted to say thank you :)
Keep an eye on this guy, he's going places!
This is the only love song that sounds like it was actually written by a specific person as a tribute of genuine love to another specific person.
Caught his show in Vans Warped Tour 2017, in Shakopee, MN. He was so good to his fans! The show was off the hook and he seemed to love his fans as much as they loved him. Amazing performer! Nothing Gory Means No Glory.
"And there's not a single place that I would rather be, I'm fucked just like you are and you're fucked up just like me." ♥️ That line always hits me hard
I feel in love with this song the first time i heard it when it first was put up nd i am still in love with it great making man
Am I the only one who likes the song even more because he edited the video by himself..
+Robin Wassink No
Sorry, what?
yes
+Robin Wassink No
yes, that's great!
This song always makes me think of my brother. We both found watsky when we were young (back when cardboard castles first came out) and saw him live in 2017, in the worst of my drug addiction. Always gives me strength to keep going when I feel like giving up.
Amazing song, a very much needed addition to my playlist, and to be honest, probably relevant to everyone at some point in their lifetime. I remember the scene with Jay and Silent Bob in Chasing Amy, where silent Bob goes on about pushing this girl he loved away because of his own insecurities, because she was 'experienced' and had previous lovers, and that made him feel small, inexperienced, and he lashed out at her for doing all these things in her past. She kept saying it was all in the past, and didn't apologize because she didn't think she had done anything wrong, but silent Bob kept pushing her away and tearing her down, and said 'it's over' and walked away. He went on to say how he always regretted that moment, he realized it was his own insecurities, and spent every moment since then "Chasing Amy". I felt the same way. I felt inexperienced when I met one of my girlfriends, and I would lash out as well. Felt like I was getting someone's 'sloppy seconds' or that they were a promiscuous, or a slut, whatever. And I pushed those girls away. Not realizing they liked me for who I was, and I was not loving them for who they were, but only seeing them for who they were in their past. Similar to silent Bob, and similar to how I interpret this song. This song is more emotionally mature than I am. I guess I was just too immature to see past my own insecurities and love someone for who they were. Then I heard this song, watched Chasing Amy, and it gave me some perspective at a much needed time in my life. And I'll forever be grateful for that, for Watsky and Smith. Like the lyrics say, "I don't care, where you've been, how many miles, I still love you."
6 years later and I'm still listening to the song
My daughter is going through her first break up. Dumped by a Chrisrian for questioning Christianity.
I'm sending her this song as an example of what love *SHOULD* look like
So are you saying questioning christianity is a bad thing or a good thing ?
10 years and it never gets old
