My bro Watsky deserves so much more than the entertainment industry will ever allow him. Bro stands for what he stands for, and has a flow you can't groom. Loved him since 2016. Haven't ever stopped being strong like an OAK, and hearing the sad sound of a guitar string snapping. ❤
This is still one of my favorite songs of all time. It complements each season, all weather, and every emotion. This song has seen me through a lot in the past 3 years. Thanks George.
[Verse 1: Mieka] Minding my own business Knock at the door, who is it? Be right there, one minute Gotta get up and go get it Got white hair, eyes all crazy Now most madmen don't faze me But these guys, I'll admit it, got me scared we're finished Chorus The scientists proved we're all gonna die They got charts and equations, the how and the why You did not invite em and neither did I But they're here, drink up, we're all gonna die Poetry section 1 Ghosts must always feel like they're visiting their old high school They don't recognize any of these new kids The halls, they twist the same, but there are all these odd new posters on the walls When I'm trying to get to get bed I start thinking about endings And instead of simply counting trying to sleep I'm counting down I'm sacrificing sheep At parties I wander from room to room not sure what I'm looking for I think I'm supposed to find another person here When I smoke too much weed And I get paranoid that every pair of eyes is glued to me And maybe they are And I'm not crazy And the spirit of every bastard who ever had a drink in this place is back for old times' sake Maybe there's a million of them Having their own party beside us And they're staring Thinking, "Look at all those lonely, solid people Pretending to check their cell phones Grandma lived 99 years and never learned to drive At the end of her life She didn't know one person left in her own age God's a bully and he makes it rain dodgeballs You can stand off in the corner and you might last a little longer But you'll never win that way Verse 2: Mieka] I go do my laundry Those dogs are right behind me Get lost in some party Those creeps will always find me Who are they?

As a medium this song makes makes me smile so much, I honestly don't doubt that you (George) are also a . medium feeling what spirits are feeling Thank you for letting me to feel like I'm not alone in my experiences
I just remembered that this is the clip that made me know both Watsky and Mary Doodles. I still love them both more than 10 years later, their work is incredible.
Watsky, never change. For fuck sake please never change your ways of making music, it is possibly the most original shit I have ever heard. I didn't know that music this down to earth could come out at clear as it does. There's no beating around the bush in this music and honestly that's exactly how it should be. I'll always be a fan as long as the music stays true. Good work man
SeedlessPro everyone please stop wishing for eminem to get back on drugs. the man cleaned up his life for himself and for his family and its really sick that you would wish something so bad on the guy. this video was made years ago and he's in a different place in his life right now.....he's 42 for christ sake!!! he grew up and so should you....damn
Why is everyone getting defensive? Yes this is a poem, and yes this is a song, and yes we're all going to die, and no, nobody knows what's going to happen afterwards. What is there to argue about? Just scroll up and watch/listen to the genius.
I love the artwork and the way it's got more of a poetic vibe but the chorus is sang I love the combination of the poetry singing and drawing and the artwork it creates all put together
I love watsky have for years and have never heard this till I threw on a wounded healer playlist as I'm losing it from my little brother passing about 5 years after my dad. Watsky, Ren, nf all have been help to get some stuff out... I love you all.
Absolutely wonderful. Wonderful lyrics, great delivery, the singer managed to express as well as sing the words, and the drawings were incredible. The video was well done too... I guess talent attracts talent.
Some music you simply hear, some music pulls on your heart strings, gets your head banging and your fist pumping. Watsky's music? Watsky's music kicks your soul out of your body and into the world. Off to create more awesome in the world.
George Watsky is just...he...hm. He always just, knows what to do to make himself better. That is, he knows that he just has to keep doing what he's been doing, and it'll get progressively more awesome.
Watsky's work came into my life at a time when I wanted to take my own life, it entered the stage and always helps to brighten things up for me. Your one of the best.
Today was the first time I listened to this song. Then, I checked out NicePeter's channel, which led me to JustDoArt. After watching that video, I decided to watch more Watsky, but I accidentally clicked an annotation. Which led me to Watsky. Awesome.
I think watsky is a talented artist and I applaud him for being unconventional. If given the opportunity I would love to sit down with him and find what makes him tick, what compels him to pen lyrics. I do have to say though, his ambiguous thoughts for a track like this are loose and a jumbled mess at best. I do think he is a better artist when he raps fast ( a phenomenal one at that, much better than I) but I think there is a lot of development he could experience if he really analyzed his lyrics and tried to have his words coincide with the emotion of the chorus. It didn't match up to me, but I will say that suicide line about cowards are the only ones brave enough to do was pure genius. The rest was forgettable. Keep up the hard work man and hats off to Mieka Pauley for the awesome chorus and the artist. From one creative writer with similar ambitions to another, I hope to hear more from you watsky
God damn Watsky you just keep getting better and better. This is why I share everyone one of your videos with everyone one I know. Because if they don't like you, I don't like them.
Love it when my favorite artists come together. Weird how you guys live on the opposite coast but I'm driving around pumping watsky on my stereo, get home and catch some ERB, laughing to Monday shows and wishing I could buy every one of mary's definitive doodles, and you guys are all hanging out over there making more awesome stuff.
Dear Mr. Watsky, This song new how to pull all the the strings in my emotions. It really hit hard. I loved it. More like this please. You're the best. SIncerely, Your loyal fan.
The only chart and equation I see is the linear progression of how more awesome your art has gotten over the last year. Long time listener, here, rarely put in awe enough to comment. This song is powerful, man.
This song is beautiful. I can't believe how expertise Watsky has become. Seeing a poem that means so much, that has such feeling and yet has humor at the same time. Thank you sir. You've made me feel something astonishing.
Every time i hear this song... the first not instantly calms me. if im pissed this song is helpful. if im happy this makes me dance. if im tired this relaxes me. George you have made magic in my life and i thankyou for that, I cant tel you how inspiring you are. you're my hero, role model, big brother i never had you know what i mean...... ~~Shelby
His poetry is absolutely beautiful. The whole message of it thrown with this beat, this girl's voice and the humor he throws in makes this song the definition of modern fine art.
I don't know what's drawing me to you right now, but I think I'm gonna listen to all your music in the next couple days. I think I've grown a lot in the last years and I need to reconnect with the stuff I used to love. Hopin you come out with 'Intention' soon, but, more importantly, I hope you're doing well
@gwatsky we all love what you're doing gwatsky. im so excited for February 1st if not just for this song. today has been ... excuse me yesterday. whatever its 1 :P.... a great day for music. This song is beyond words for how amazing it truly is. And then there's Zombie Blues. Between that and this there hasn't been anything else on my computer in the last 4 hours. Me and every other fan here would love to claim that at least half these views are ours alone. We love you gwatsky!!!!!!!!!!
Woah! Just awesome! It hit me and I instantly needed to sit on my piano and start working on my songs.. fantastic! I love you guys! (the doodles are so awesome too!!)
I added this to my favourites and thats not something i do lightly, been on here for a year and a half and thats only the 15th video that i've favourited. Thought it was amazing. Brilliant.
Probably one of the best videos i've seen...Seriously that was just awesome....And the person drawing? Just when I thought they couldn't get any cooler...She uses a cherry to make the red on the ghosts....Thats just mad iLL!
to be honest, i was a little hesitant when i saw the watsky and mody video. I wasn't sure if I would like the music but after hearing this there is no doubt left in my mind. this is amazing

Fun fact: I asked Watsky tonight at his poetry show what his favorite poem of his is and he said it was this one
Michaela Rubinfeld , you're a filthy liar
@@BobisKool why is it so difficult to believe that she asked Watsky a question at his show?
Same though
why isnt this on spotify tho
Ikr!!!!
ok so im not the only one
Likely licencing issues.
It's on bandcamp with a bunch more unlisted tracks!
Only see outside make it
My bro Watsky deserves so much more than the entertainment industry will ever allow him. Bro stands for what he stands for, and has a flow you can't groom. Loved him since 2016. Haven't ever stopped being strong like an OAK, and hearing the sad sound of a guitar string snapping. ❤
This is still one of my favorite songs of all time. It complements each season, all weather, and every emotion. This song has seen me through a lot in the past 3 years. Thanks George.
I have to come back every so often for a listen. 9 years ago already? Damn Watsky- it’s been a journey- thanks man
Still love this! Such good old memories of when you first released this video. Thank you for your music. It was appreciated during some dark times. :)
I recognized Mary Doodles the second her pen touched the paper. Her drawings are brilliant!
"you could stand off in the corner and you might last a little longer, but you'll never win that way." oh, beautiful
"god's a bully, and he's making it rain dodgeballs"- George Watsky
God bless.
George Watsky, Mieka Pauley and Mary Doodles together...pure magic. Doing even one routine thing today will be near impossible.
4 years later and I still love it.
This Is not a poem. This is not a song. This is a masterpiece
A sermon
[Verse 1: Mieka]
Minding my own business
Knock at the door, who is it?
Be right there, one minute
Gotta get up and go get it
Got white hair, eyes all crazy
Now most madmen don't faze me
But these guys, I'll admit it, got me scared we're finished
Chorus
The scientists proved we're all gonna die
They got charts and equations, the how and the why
You did not invite em and neither did I
But they're here, drink up, we're all gonna die
Poetry section 1
Ghosts must always feel like they're visiting their old high school
They don't recognize any of these new kids
The halls, they twist the same, but there are all these odd new posters on the walls
When I'm trying to get to get bed
I start thinking about endings
And instead of simply counting trying to sleep
I'm counting down
I'm sacrificing sheep
At parties
I wander from room to room not sure what I'm looking for
I think I'm supposed to find another person here
When I smoke too much weed
And I get paranoid that every pair of eyes is glued to me
And maybe they are
And I'm not crazy
And the spirit of every bastard who ever had a drink in this place is back for old times' sake
Maybe there's a million of them
Having their own party beside us
And they're staring
Thinking, "Look at all those lonely, solid people
Pretending to check their cell phones
Grandma lived 99 years and never learned to drive
At the end of her life
She didn't know one person left in her own age
God's a bully and he makes it rain dodgeballs
You can stand off in the corner and you might last a little longer
But you'll never win that way
Verse 2: Mieka]
I go do my laundry
Those dogs are right behind me
Get lost in some party
Those creeps will always find me
Who are they? What is this?
I mind my own damn business
Always there to remind me all about their findings
The scientists proved we're all gonna die
They got charts and equations, the how and the why
You did not invite em and neither did I
But they're here, drink up, we're all gonna die
The scientists proved we're all gonna die
They got charts and equations, the how and the why
You did not invite em and neither did I
But they're here, drink up, we're all we're all gonna die
Poetry 2
You're telling me a little vodka could kill me?
How do you even know it's there?
It's so still you can see right through it
Well you can see through me too
Said the ghost
And I'm here
You know because you can feel me
And that makes sense
Because I'm too fucked up to be skeptical right now
You get drunk and start believing in things
Like that shapes and even better shapes
Like that a night with some stranger's gonna make you happy
The only people brave enough for suicide are the cowards
We're all looking out of the corner of our eyes
For where to go next
Like "this party sucks, there must be someplace better"
The ghosts, they know we're thinking like chumps. they know it's not important who we go home with tonight
Partly cause they can't generate friction, so they can't have sex
But mostly because party is right here
And it's the best party ever
I mean look bro, ben franklin is making out with marie curie
Fucking classic, Reagan's doing his falling out the window bit again
Casper can't even hold his liquor
It goes right through him
You never seen smoke rings until you've seen a Ghengis Khan hit the hookah
Chris Farley'll even let you use him as a vaporizer bag if you ask real nice
Our eyes are little projectors
Life's a drive-in movie theater and my grandma needs a ride
Thank you
i don t wanna go the way they say but i got to let it be my way
As a medium this song makes makes me smile so much, I honestly don't doubt that you (George) are also a . medium feeling what spirits are feeling
Thank you for letting me to feel like I'm not alone in my experiences
"Life is like dodgeball. You can stand in the corner and last a little longer. But you'll never win that way."
That's my new motto.
It’s been 12 years since you said this. I hope that truly happened for you and continues to happen for you. Best wishes:)
I just remembered that this is the clip that made me know both Watsky and Mary Doodles.
I still love them both more than 10 years later, their work is incredible.
I got this on repeat for more than 4 hours, its my new favouite song. thanks Watsky

I didn't know that music this down to earth could come out at clear as it does. There's no beating around the bush in this music and honestly that's exactly how it should be.

Why doesn't this have more hits?

WeAreDaydreamin wut xD
TheIndieGamesNL Thanx :-)
+SeedlessPro because people have shitty taste in music
people don't like rappers who don't sound like they're on drugs.
deserves some internet video award. for direction, music, lyrics, poetry, art and that feeling it gave you in your midsection.
Why is everyone getting defensive? Yes this is a poem, and yes this is a song, and yes we're all going to die, and no, nobody knows what's going to happen afterwards. What is there to argue about? Just scroll up and watch/listen to the genius.
Why is still at 500k? This is one of the best songs ever, so much flow, passion and good mood with some deep message. Cmon guys!
I love the artwork and the way it's got more of a poetic vibe but the chorus is sang I love the combination of the poetry singing and drawing and the artwork it creates all put together
I love watsky have for years and have never heard this till I threw on a wounded healer playlist as I'm losing it from my little brother passing about 5 years after my dad. Watsky, Ren, nf all have been help to get some stuff out... I love you all.
"The only people brave enough for suicide are the cowards."
-George Watsky, Ghost Party
This has always held close to me, but certainly more so lately with my mental health at complete rock bottom.
@@ITFNBiteBayKonyou got this my friend
Absolutely wonderful. Wonderful lyrics, great delivery, the singer managed to express as well as sing the words, and the drawings were incredible. The video was well done too...
I guess talent attracts talent.

he was planning the stick to your guns video at the beginning
Watsky's music is a real moving force in my life. i feel afraid sometimes but when i listen, it all goes away.
Meanwhile, Zach Sherwin is using his Sharpie to write the letter C to change "Defeated" to "Defecated"
Watsky's work came into my life at a time when I wanted to take my own life, it entered the stage and always helps to brighten things up for me. Your one of the best.
Whoever reads this I want you to know you are wonderful and you matter! You are appreciated. I believe in you.
Sanity Lanes same to you!!! Thank you. I needed this.
I'm not wonderful and I don't matter.
hmm hmm E d g y
Be like the guy above you ^
Everything was great. She's got a great voice. I just enjoyed the whole thing. Thank you Watsky.
That must be a hell of a party... Marie Curie was married... no ones surprised by Ben Franklin though...
Yeah, but they were married "until death do us part."

shut the fuck up
ihategoo glepolicies I wish that I could meet him too!
poem first, music second, is the nature of this song
This is so comforting to someone that had fear problems with death as a child....and well.....I still fear!!!!
Thank's Watsky!!
You guys made mary pay for her own drinks after she did all that art for you?
We need more poetry songs like this from Watsky!
i really like the singing in this song but when watsky talks over the music it kind of ruins it for me
Why?
***** because it ruins the whole vibe its annoying and doesn't sound good at all
Classic Bass I think the opposite, I like Watsky's bit but the womans voice ruins the "vibe"
***** well i think her voice is the song i love watsky but this is one song i could do without him if he rapped it would have been good
Classic Bass It was meant to be poetry in this song not rap its to serious of a topic to be rap.
Dude every line of watsky's is so great, he mixes his humor and his serious tones so well.
I have listened to this so many times since it came out. The album needs to come out now. Seriously, this will be your best album to date.
This is my favorite Watsky song. It's chorus is an incredible earworm.
Music, poetry, art and cinematography, with a bit of humor. This is brilliant.
That was beautiful. The video, the song, the message, everything! Watsky's a genius.
God damn Watsky you just keep getting better and better. This is why I share everyone one of your videos with everyone one I know. Because if they don't like you, I don't like them.
Love it when my favorite artists come together. Weird how you guys live on the opposite coast but I'm driving around pumping watsky on my stereo, get home and catch some ERB, laughing to Monday shows and wishing I could buy every one of mary's definitive doodles, and you guys are all hanging out over there making more awesome stuff.
wow holy, unbelievable..... the creative artistery in this video is astounding. on repeat, just incredibly mastered. WOW
I can't stop listening to this... it is just too beautiful and is plain genius.
Dear Mr. Watsky,
This song new how to pull all the the strings in my emotions. It really hit hard. I loved it. More like this please. You're the best.
SIncerely,
Your loyal fan.
The poetry is awesome, Mieka Pauley is awesome. I absolutely love the sound and the lyrics in this song. Great job Watsky :3
Love the music, love the singing, love the lyrics and love the drawing. Adding to favorites.
The only chart and equation I see is the linear progression of how more awesome your art has gotten over the last year.
Long time listener, here, rarely put in awe enough to comment. This song is powerful, man.
this is not only the best piece of poetry i have ever heard, but this is an absolutely brilliant music video
The second I saw those hands I knew it was Mary!
Absolutely loved this man. Never stop creating. Anything. Everything. Always. Breathe art.
wow, i am just blown away by the quality of this song and music video. thank you for making this.
Mieka's voice just tugs on my heartstrings... Hard.
Thank you Watsky! More than you will ever know.
I can't stop listening to this. Must have gone through it a dozen times now at least.
Absolutely breathtaking. A pleasure to watch and listen to,. Thank you x
Your words are just amazing... and it inspires me.
absolutley the best in a while! Looking forward to this CD!
Two words, and only those two words, can describe this:
ABSOLUTE...BRILLIANCE
This song is beautiful. I can't believe how expertise Watsky has become. Seeing a poem that means so much, that has such feeling and yet has humor at the same time. Thank you sir. You've made me feel something astonishing.
Wow kid what a fan

~~Shelby
40 years from now, when i'm an old grandpa, I will preach the hidden lessons i've learned from Watsky to my grandchildren.
Amazing editing, and love the drawings. Love your work Watsky.
Mary Doodles is...wow good. Another fantastic piece of work
That art was amazing! Matching Watsky's poetry made this an incredible video, good work Watsky.
This stuff needs to be on iTunes man. Seriously I love this.
His poetry is absolutely beautiful. The whole message of it thrown with this beat, this girl's voice and the humor he throws in makes this song the definition of modern fine art.
I'm obsessed with this EP its my soundtrack!!! you cna feel the passion and the love that went into it
I think I'll just listen to this over and over and over again, cheers
"you get dunk and start believing in things. like shapes, and even better shapes" greatest thing I've ever heard.
I don't know what's drawing me to you right now, but I think I'm gonna listen to all your music in the next couple days. I think I've grown a lot in the last years and I need to reconnect with the stuff I used to love. Hopin you come out with 'Intention' soon, but, more importantly, I hope you're doing well
What a song, what a video... "I don't wanna go the way they say, if I gotta go let it be my way"
Goddamn I love this song. Watsky, you've got no idea how much this song has healed in me.
Great song and beautiful video. Nice work Mr. Watsky.
i'm a huge rap fan, not of just your work but almost all rap. but for some odd reason im finding myself more in love with your poetry than anything.
2:11 Oh my... how did... how does that...
No matter how many times I watch this, the drawings continue to amaze me.
Amazing. Best thing I've heard from Watsky. Ever.
i cant stop watching this, both the video and the song are increadable!
@gwatsky we all love what you're doing gwatsky. im so excited for February 1st if not just for this song. today has been ... excuse me yesterday. whatever its 1 :P.... a great day for music. This song is beyond words for how amazing it truly is. And then there's Zombie Blues. Between that and this there hasn't been anything else on my computer in the last 4 hours.

That was breath taking. I want it back.
That was so moving, thank you so much for posting this.

I added this to my favourites and thats not something i do lightly, been on here for a year and a half and thats only the 15th video that i've favourited.
Thought it was amazing. Brilliant.
This guy spits out some of the most philosophical rhymes I've ever heard
this is my fave of your new stuff thus fsr. thanks watsky
Probably one of the best videos i've seen...Seriously that was just awesome....And the person drawing? Just when I thought they couldn't get any cooler...She uses a cherry to make the red on the ghosts....Thats just mad iLL!

So amazing!!! Just... Simply wow
Damn it Watsky, once again you have me thinking about things while having a goofy smile on my face.
So much talent just pouring out of this video
I am totally in love with this collab!!
Watsky, you're still amazing! And that picture she drew with the sheep...I want that as the beginning of my sleeve so badly...
Can't wait for the album George!!
