I'm 60 and love your music too. My dear sweet mother died recently 4 months ago at 95 of heart failure. Your music takes me back to having some joy in life. I was wanting to leave, but you music brought me back like a defibrillator. CLEAR! Petey. He's coming back. We have a pulse. Thank you Petey.
I'm a 56 year old running fanatic, Petey, and I love to listen to your music when I run. This song, in particular, has made me spontaneously burst into tears numerous times. It is beautiful and inspiring. For some reason, the line, "Go to hell, I am the Devil trying to claw my way to Heaven" really gets me every time. Please keep making music! And thank you!
Bro, I’m not even an avid listener of indie music, but I came across your album on Spotify, and I’ve listened to it start to finish about 20 times already. What a fantastic piece of work you’ve put out. I’m calling it now, you’re gonna blow up.
wtf, I didn't expect someone in the comments to describe my exact situation. Just traveled halfway cross the country for a grad program in a new city. Petey's music has been nearly on repeat
The music video really brings all my feelings together. Incredible work man. It's a mix of focus, disassociation, desire to be a part of and also run from something for me. This just ties it together so well. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
The fact this song only had 3.7k likes make me loses a little more faith in humanity smh this is simply a master piece. The world has yet to realise your greatness my guy.
I am 57 and in love with your music. It also makes me very emotional. “I am the devil trying to loss my way to heaven” I get chills when I play this song. Lean Into Life.
All seriousness. This is the anthem of me getting my life back together. Ive never heard anything like this, i took a chance on looking up your music because i love your tik toks.You are an amazing "ARTIST". This is my anthem right here. You're the best man 🤘💚
I've been on a scholarship abroad for a semester and I love the person I became here. Now I have to go back in about a week and I just hope I can maintain my new way of living my life after shaking off everything that made me stagnate and unhappy back at home. Petey, your music is phenomenal! This is a great way to end my time here. Can't stop listening to this one.
Hey Petey. Just want to let you know that you're music is literally saving my partner's life. They were having a mental health crisis moment the other day (again) and no hotline or crisis number picked up. It was frustrating to say the least. So we put on your music and sang together til they felt tired enough to sleep. My partner is probably one of your biggest fans, and I just wanna say thank you helping to keep them here and to try to keep going. Big love to ya.
Thankyou for having patience, I don't think Petey saved their life... YOU DID!!!, You sound like an amazing parter, Positive thoughts going out to both of you 💙🫡👍
at first I didn't like the song, then like 1:07 it just clicked and I felt it EDIT: listened to this like 20 more times since my comment was posted and I'm just hooked! Love this!
I just discovered Petey this week. I cant stop listening to him. Each song I discover becomes my new favorite. This one is currently in the lead. Masterpiece.
The music wasn't initially something I'm super into, but I can't pinpoint the exact moment where I loved every layer of the song. My ears got all melty by the end of it~
Damn. Ok. Yeah I’m going to have to agree with the majority on this. This song is actually really good. Like scary talent good. I found you on tiktok good sir and now I’m adding your art to my permanent collection. Well done man. Thanks very much indeed.
Some random woman I met in the woods started playing Petey at our campsite, and well, here I am. Thank you dude, helped me through a lot of shit the past year.
Petey you have blown me away with your talent, you're hilarious on tiktok and an unbelievably talented artist. So excited to see what the future holds for you my dude!
I love how this so heavily feels like a Petey video. You always seem to just make what you want and not give a shit about what anyone else may say or think. Keep being you Petey, a lot of us out here need you ❤️❤️
Petey I wanna hug ya man, I've never heard music like this, it defines me and my friends growing up, I showed em your stuff and of course they loved it, ya make beautiful music man, thank you for bein you
I had hit the like button on this song just before my trip to Russia to listen to it more as I traveled. ( first turned onto you by a recommended video for new haircut ) 2 weeks into my trip I suffered a brain aneurysm and went to and still am in a Moscow hospital where believe me, this song has become the theme song of this trip. I’ve listened to it over and over again in my hospital bed, almost like I was meant to hear this song later when it would hit harder. And man did it hit! So I’m writing this comment here so I can always go back and remind myself what I want to tell my future/ new self. Lay off the chemicals. The cigs. The sugar. Let it go man. It’s just not worth it. It even pains my eyes to write this as the operation messed with my light sensitivity but I HAD to share this story and comment and say thank you for such an amazing song to come into my life at just the right moment. Folks - read the signs life is flashing you. It can and will happen to you. Lean into life! Come on buddy!
This is a pretty good song to blast in your hearphones whilst riding your electric skateboard to and fro about a rural metropolis. Pulled me out of a dark hole.
What are some other dope artist like Petey that are underrated that I need to hear? Please, I would have gave anything to hear him sooner. I need more artist
Having trouble finding the right words, but your music feels like finding something i didnt even know i was looking for. I heard your interview on the Bennington show. Im very proud of you. Happy for you. And today, ive listened to this song 6 times, plus your entire album. Theres so many sounds in your music that strike my heart in a way i havent felt in so long. Fuck yeah Petey. Fuck yeah.
Why is your music so nostalgic. It's like im visiting somewhere I've been. It's so familiar yet so new. Your music does something but I can't put my finger on what that something is.
Got accidentally introduced to this song by my ex when it came on while listening to our Blended Spotify playlist and I kept going back to it and then decided to listen to the rest of his music and my god. Petey is legit one of my favourite artists now, just so incredible. It's been really helping through the breakup, and hilariously my ex went to see him in Toronto the day after we broke up 😂.
This song made me realise that moving to a new city and getting a great job didn't solve a single one of my fucking problems. eternally grateful for this tune
I've known you for your comedy and came into the video expecting as much, but the music, lyrics, and emotion you brought into this song were amazing. Thank you so much
2 months since I first heard you and your songs are on a whole level of their own. This one hits me in the soul. When you said "ive been training your whole life for nothin" that hit deep.
You know your funny vids are a great treat from time to time. Then I saw your last one about an album you put out. The least I could do is listen to it since you make such quality, original content. And WOW! This song kept getting better and better! Petey, you got it bud. And I'm glad I got to see it!
Thank you for sending down one of those "holy shit this song is amazing I guess I'll have to listen to every single sound that this man has recorded" kinda spirals. I really needed music like this right now. You're, like, a really cool dude
This is golden man don’t stop . Can’t thank you enough for all the laughs and happiness you have brought from tictok and now your slinging bangers like this what are you ?
Some people put into words what we all have a problem conveying clearly and I think "I feel like I've been training my whole life for nothing" is brilliant! It so accurately captures disillusionment with trying to fit into the mold of accepted society. I also love the "I just want to be a better older brother." This song, and other Petey songs, are brilliant. And holy f-in sh**. "Sounds an awful lot like you like talking about your bootstraps, go to hell, I am the devil tryna claw my way to heaven." I can't articulate how important this is to me.
Okay on the third watch I had to stop and go buy all of his music because wow 😳🤩 it’s been awhile since I stumbled upon a musician that resonated with me so much, damn!
hey man! very cool song man! seriously though i am unbelievably shook that one of the funniest and most original tiktok creators i know has just been out here making legit bangers and i had no idea. what can't this man do?? you're an even more talented creator than i thought, this song is incredible. can't wait to listen to the rest of your music
Petey it's hard to articulate your impact in a youtube comment, but you have made my life and i assume many others a lot better
Agreed. I've listened to Don't Tell the Boys, Haircut, Apple TV Remote, and Bloodoath for many many many hours this year.
I second this.
I third this.
Agreed
I concur.
This is a fucking masterpiece dude. Your music feels like something I've been searching for but no one else had the courage to make it.
Very LCD Soundsystem-esk to me, but love em both
Same
I love it
Very well said!!!!
I agree Morgan
I'm 60 and love your music too. My dear sweet mother died recently 4 months ago at 95 of heart failure. Your music takes me back to having some joy in life. I was wanting to leave, but you music brought me back like a defibrillator. CLEAR! Petey. He's coming back. We have a pulse. Thank you Petey.

Imagine if the world had that many Peteys.. it would be a utopia of sweet music and cool vids
is he gay? not being rude
@@onemoreday9453 what it gotta do with the comment
It does and it is
Dudes hilarious
On it
Bro, I’m not even an avid listener of indie music, but I came across your album on Spotify, and I’ve listened to it start to finish about 20 times already. What a fantastic piece of work you’ve put out. I’m calling it now, you’re gonna blow up.
Only laowinners can comprehend the imminent success of petey
Why? Given how borderless this music is, it is imaginable that it brings everyone from everywhere together.
Exactly not my normal genre but this has such emotion behind it.
People dont release 5.5 minute songs anymore, and I love that you did that and made a freaking banger.
It’s so good I didn’t even realize it’s 5.5 minutes and have listened to it many times
This is my first time ever commenting on a TH-cam video because that is how good your music is, Petey. Please don't stop.
Yes! Please don’t stop! Keep that shit coming
Oh shit Petey you got his virgin comment.
you should comment more.
Petey, You've created something beautiful. Keep it up
This masterpiece will forever be part of my playlist ❤❤❤
This is the song nobody asked for, but everybody needed.
If Talking Heads and Postal Service had a baby with Kyle Mooney's sense of humor. I'm pretty happy here.
This song has been helping me get through my first time being out on my own in a new city and in a new grad program. Thanks, Petey :)
Good luck on the new adventure!
wtf, I didn't expect someone in the comments to describe my exact situation. Just traveled halfway cross the country for a grad program in a new city. Petey's music has been nearly on repeat
Hope grad school is going well. You can always return to Petey!
The music video really brings all my feelings together. Incredible work man. It's a mix of focus, disassociation, desire to be a part of and also run from something for me. This just ties it together so well. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
“Sounds an awful lot to me that you like talking about your bootstraps” love this lyric and the cadence it’s sung in is just beautiful
The fact this song only had 3.7k likes make me loses a little more faith in humanity smh this is simply a master piece. The world has yet to realise your greatness my guy.
I am 57 and in love with your music. It also makes me very emotional. “I am the devil trying to loss my way to heaven” I get chills when I play this song. Lean Into Life.
My IT guy had to put his water down to listen to this one.
was it Mr. Html
@@dankiememie he probably just had some cheese in the CD gasket. Happens all the time.
I'm an IT guy, and I put my water down to listen to this.
All seriousness. This is the anthem of me getting my life back together. Ive never heard anything like this, i took a chance on looking up your music because i love your tik toks.You are an amazing "ARTIST". This is my anthem right here. You're the best man 🤘💚

So dope. Petey is the cats pajamas
Hey buddy you’re really goin through it… all this free time and no fucking idea what to do with it!!! 🕺🏻🙌🏼🕺🏻🙌🏼🕺🏻🙌🏼

YOU DID!!!,
You sound like an amazing parter,
Positive thoughts going out to both of you 💙🫡👍
Sounds like lcd sound system type stuff and I love it

the vocal styling change when he "breaks through" 2:05
The Bennington Show on SiriusXM brought me here. Good stuff, man. And great interview with Ron, Gail and Chris. Cheers.
Some random woman I met in the woods started playing Petey at our campsite, and well, here I am. Thank you dude, helped me through a lot of shit the past year.

12k subs is absurd for this level of content. Your music is so unique.
Petey I wanna hug ya man, I've never heard music like this, it defines me and my friends growing up, I showed em your stuff and of course they loved it, ya make beautiful music man, thank you for bein you
3:12 is one of my favorite things to sing along to of all time

The different versions of the office workers are so spot on, to real life co workers.

It's so familiar yet so new.
Your music does something but I can't put my finger on what that something is.
Petey how have i been listening to your song for MONTHS and not connected that you are both. This song has shaped my life.
This is a very relatable video. We all need to lean into life a little more. Looking forward to more music and kick ass music videos.
You have a knack for putting so many of my life experiences to beautiful music.
“Another Christmas and you’re still bumming out about the same shit” not this year Petey. Thank you for being a part of gettin here
Love this, a friend recommended because he knew I loved the 80s. He has an 80s vibe about him!
I heard his Haircut song first and been hooked on Petey ever since! What a unique artist. Love it!
Got accidentally introduced to this song by my ex when it came on while listening to our Blended Spotify playlist and I kept going back to it and then decided to listen to the rest of his music and my god. Petey is legit one of my favourite artists now, just so incredible. It's been really helping through the breakup, and hilariously my ex went to see him in Toronto the day after we broke up 😂.
I always stop at 3:22 on this song because you sound shockingly like Imagine Dragons on the double track when you're belting it out. I dig it!
Very LCD Soundsystem but somehow simultaneously more irreverent and emotionally serious all at the same time. Master of paradox. Keep it up.
This song made me realise that moving to a new city and getting a great job didn't solve a single one of my fucking problems. eternally grateful for this tune
Can you come to my birthday party? You rock, Petey.
Oooh, LCD soundsystem / modest mouse vibes for sure. But all in his own way. Love it
This was the song I listened to the most this summer. Thanks Petey!
I've known you for your comedy and came into the video expecting as much, but the music, lyrics, and emotion you brought into this song were amazing. Thank you so much
Just found about about this song - Mark Hoppus had it playing during his live stream before the Blink 182 show today - amazing.
same here, so happy i found this now. Thank you Mark
Same here!!
2 months since I first heard you and your songs are on a whole level of their own. This one hits me in the soul. When you said "ive been training your whole life for nothin" that hit deep.

Just finding your music now. Wow man, keep making music. Best music I’ve heard in years.
I have found my new favorite song… seriously, this is the best song I’ve heard in a while. 300 uninvited hugs… 😂 I love it.
so goooooooooooood
This was an entire JOURNEY! And I'm so glad I was able to come along for the ride! This is incredible Petey. Thanks for making it.
Thank you for sending down one of those "holy shit this song is amazing I guess I'll have to listen to every single sound that this man has recorded" kinda spirals. I really needed music like this right now. You're, like, a really cool dude
Did the same, ended up buying the album. Highly recommend. Love it.
"We go on walks" was that song for me. Just incredible
This is golden man don’t stop . Can’t thank you enough for all the laughs and happiness you have brought from tictok and now your slinging bangers like this what are you ?
I love this on a spiritual level.
It's wild how talented you are, man. You're hilarious, and you're also a genuinely great musician. You got range!
I'm here, I'm happy. Thank you Petey. Also thank you for introducing me to Miya Folick
When ADHD gives you depression, Petey gives you love.
Petey's music is something else, can't help but to fuckin love it
Great video. Amazing song. So hyped for your album release tomorrow, your stuff has been on repeat constantly for months.
Blew my mind mate. Love this song.

Delighted to be in this club....and yes it still feels like a club...moves my soul..music at its peak...oh nice
Great song! Bittersweet.
Dark knight of the soul vibe!
Okay on the third watch I had to stop and go buy all of his music because wow 😳🤩 it’s been awhile since I stumbled upon a musician that resonated with me so much, damn!
At Pete's concert tonight in Charlotte. Can't wait to see him live!
I think I got an uninvited hug, way back in the day. Very thankful.
Love this.. so glad I found this!
I may be late but the message still reaches. Thank you, Petey. ❤
Jesus christ, I wasn't expecting this! This is awesome!!
I like all the styles this incorporates. Lyrics are awesome, too. Thanks for sharing!
So good.
Holy shit is that Puff Sullivan?!?! All seriousness, I love this song and your cover of Crash is amazing so thanks.
Oh man imagine if he puts Puff Sullivan in a clip
my best friend would have loved your music so much.. RIP scotty
Nothing hits like a Petey song/video combo.
Director crane worked overtime on this video
Come to Denver!
F.... love it... Yes this is it...
I'm here because of your TikTok. I love your content there, and I love this just as much. I hope you blow up even more bro
Dude, that pony tail is a vibe! You rock it.
This song just made my year. THANK YOU
This is very niche, but this reminds me of Muscles! An Aussie electronica muso. This song reminds me of some songs on his first album. Love!
This is reeaalll niccce Petey. Real real nice.

The way this song builds...ugh it's so good! Love your funny vids and your music. Thanks for sharing Petey 😊
Well young man... this is just terrific!
