This song brings me to tears with comfort. It's like I have been looking for a way to express facts of life, and be able to tell everyone it's alright to be scared. But that it isn't necessary to be scared at all. That, we are all figuring it out. But then he articulates in such a way that I never could, and then shows me the rest of the way home. A home I never been to before but have always wanted. I will hug Reggie if I ever am lucky enough to have the opportunity.
I'm finally at the point where I can hold back tears to this song. The first time I heard it on his Spatial special it was essentially everything I needed to hear at that exact point and time. I can never truly express the happiness that this man creates within me and the utterly brilliant messages he slips into his acts. He's made me laugh, love, cry and think deeply. I don't know what else is more important in our existence than those thing, let alone another single person whom of which can simultaneously provoke them all in a mere few minutes. I love you Reggie, and thank you sincerely for being who you are.
One of my all time favorite Reggie Watts performances. "Because otherwise you're living under systems that don't match who you are and you'll be fighting that all of the rest of your life"
I too, like many of you, often come back here to cheer myself up. Today is my birthday and I'm going to see Reggie live for the first time. Thank you @PrettzL ❤
every time I get confused with the ideas and concepts that society lays upon me I come back and play this song.. .. I come back and play this song a lot
God i fucking love Reggie Watts. I'd honestly have this song played at my funeral, it's that good. The way he expresses the absurdity of the human condition in relationships and passing on the ultimate message, all while bopping our head and singing the most beautiful melodies. Soo goooooood
The song has legitimately made me think deeply about the way relationships and love is portrayed in the modern era. He talks about the way humans can be so possessive over another person and it makes me disgusted that I ever felt like that. The person I loved broke up with me and moved on to somebody else who she does love and it fucks me up to think about but since I found this special on Netflix I've realize that no one knows what love is. Since it ended I've resented her very much and grew a large amount of hate in my heart but I realize that happiness is complicated and so is love. This song is so cheery in it really brightens my day, the song doesn't have any answers and neither do I but that's why I love it so much.
"Don't use those things against another person, remember every person is an opportunity to learn more about yourself. because you are listening to where they are coming from and they represent a reflection of yourself" words that changed my life at one point
I love this. I've tried to show this to some of my therapists, but none have been able to recognise why I'm drawn to this type of music/comedy. The relevance of musical satire cannot be underestimated. It helps us to realise just how we mask our issues in comedy or music, rather than confront. It takes something like this to realise just how much we cover or mask with "humour". Good on you for being one of the few to recognise this
I am so so so inspired by this human. The degree of self-acceptance, self-love, self permission to just be who he is, is profoundly inspiring. I makes me not want to imitate him but rather find my own version of that genius in myself. WOW...Thank you Reggie Watts you are an INSPIRATION
I rediscover this song on accident every few years and every few years I've grown a few more years and this song has a few more years of meaning. The last few years have been finally going to therapy and allowing myself to recognize that I've been hurt and that I've hurt other people and that I've done awful things that I never got caught for and that none of those things is a condemnation of the rest of my life. To quote Watts from this video, it's not about being good. It's about knowing why you're being good in the first place. Do it all in love.
Reggie Watts is insanely, insanely talented. But him pulling off this song off the dome is absolutely insane. He describes it in an interview: “This is a song about apples.” That’s it. That’s about the extent of it. Then I just laid down something. It was like, Oh, that’s a really nice baseline and it definitely evokes a certain type of melody. Then, I just got lucky that the words were just being very fluid at that point. So, ideas that I had been thinking about relationships and what does that mean to be human beings and where we’re at in this modern day and what is a relationship? All those types of things just kind of came out. Stream of consciousness revelation on another plane, even for Reggie.
@@a.chataignier some article online that interviewed reggie and put up the questions with answers, forgot the name of the site, but just letting you know there may not be video of it
Years later, this song will never cease to amaze me. Anyone can make something up on the spot, but for it to have real substance, humour, emotion and musicality is something to behold.
I have been coming back to this song (whenever I feel I'm losing my center) for years and years. Forgot about it and I'm back again. Still hits just as hard.
When i was tripping heavy on acid i saw this at the end of his special middle row live, and thought Reggie Watts was god or some diety in human form, i know now sober that he of course isn't... but now i think i was on the right track...
This irrevocably altered the way I saw the world 7 years ago and I am only brave enough now to even say it. The only thing I can ask of anyone who sees this is to keep creating. I promise someone will see it. I promise you will change that person’s life
I don’t know if anybody noticed that.. but he used the same chord progressions that you can find in any chart/commercial “LOVE” song, but he used that in a sort of a funny up-tempo key. And then he started talking about love and personal relationships in the opposite way that those superificial and indifferent chart songs do. And he did it with his unique humor represented also by the up-tempo beat. He talks about real shit which usually is difficult to talk about, but through humor he makes us also understand that there’s no reason not to face ourselves, our demons, our issues, and our insecurities with love and serenity. Big up Reggie.
S S He doesn't fit the mold that they've come to perceive as intelligent. He looks like a hippie to people that don't already accept him, so they disregard the substance of the message. Judging a book by it's cover in simpler terms.
Again and again I come back to this. When I'm down, I come back to this to help me come back to myself; when I'm happy I come back to this to laugh about the ridiculousness of everything; when a friend is sad I send them this to show them how to laugh again; when I'm in love I show them this as it's the most amazing meaningful talented thing and I wanna share Reggie with them. It's always this!
"Don't use those things against another person, remember every person is an opportunity to learn more about yourself. because you are listening to where they are coming from and they represent a reflection of yourself" Words that changed my life at one point and still brings tears to my eyes for how profound and powerful the lyrics are. It's surreal how infinitely precise this song explains my early relationships and my youthful ignorance. I wasn't doing it consciously or intentionally but looking back now I can see clear as day I was not treating the relationships and partners with the value and respect they deserved... I think a large % of relationships directly based out of your insecurities. This brand new thing called love that blows your mind/heart/soul out of the water... and it's so beautiful and powerful and unique that you don't want to ever lose it. It does feel amazing to feel partially addicted to your partner, in more than just an emotional or sexual way. Learning about a person your genuinely interested in can be addicting. Then there is that honeymoon phase where both of you are compromising and doing everything for each-other just to try and out satisfy the other, it overtakes all sensibility. Especially when its your first true love.
I share this with everyone I find who could have a heart or a mind capable of finding the same type of comfort in his very deliberate and wonderful words. this is a diamond in the rough of a universal truth in such a grand scale I have yet to find another even close. And every single time I share this with someone new or reshare it with someone who I feel might get more out of it than they did prior, I have yet to not have every intention of rewatching it. TL;DR: Me too.
Reggie needs to make his own podcast. I’d definitely be listening to every episode. He seems very wise and he has a great way of putting feelings into words.
Thank you Reggie Watts for making this song a giving me reason to live when I was in the darkest place in my life. My entire outlook on humanity as a now functioning adult is based on this. It's helped me become who I want to be. That's the greatest gift someone can ever give.
"Every person is an opportunity to learn more about yourself" really changed the way I look at life, I mean I'm sure he didn't come up with this, but it really hit home. Much appreciated!
"It's not always about being good. It's understanding why you're being good in the first place" there's so many quite profound quotes in this improv performance. It's one of my favourites from Reggie.
I heard this song randomly for the first time when I was in high school while scrolling through TH-cam. It still amazes me as much as it did the first listen. I often come back to this song because it really help to put life into perspective and remember to focus and love the little things in life. It’s just an amazing song. And Reggie Watts’ voice send shivers down my spine it’s so good.
It’s so nice to take a quick break from the bullshit board game of society for a while and just enjoy being alive, without all the extra rules and objectives.
I've watched this like 15 times in the last 2 weeks. This song puts words to the lessons I've learned up until now in my life. It's crazy how I found this video and how it nicely summarizes my growth. lol :)
Every now and then, when live unloads shit on me, I come back to this song and let Reggie save my live. I guess he was sent here by the big magnet to balance out all the senseless pain we have to go through in live.
This is something everybody should know. He actually created a song that describes how we are, and how we could be. Not taking things for granted, appreciate and comprehend people and the volatile environment we live in. Be happy, pursue that specific way that makes you happy. And not using this knowledge to take a leverage on other people who are just like you... trying to make sense on all of this. Just do everything with good spirit and heart.
This song changed my life forever. This is undeniably channeling. He enters a channeling state, "in the zone", and let's the words come out, NOTHING written. You have to listen to this, like many of Reggie's work, many times before you can grasp everything he speaks on. Absolute GOLD. 420th comment! Where's my bong!!!!
I love this song so much. I've memorized it and sing it to myself at work. There are so many great lines, but I think my favorite is "Remember every person is an opportunity...they represent a reflection of yourself." 'Cause we are one, and empathy really is a bitch
Reggie Watts is one of the 9's.... pure creative genius code-breakers of the matrix. Thank you for being here , for lifting our spirits in this hour of darkness! One Love.
watching this is a lesson in how to turn cynicism and apathy into something positively uplifting and inspiringly realistic. My go to track for tough times in life as a reminder to smile and do everything with love and everything will be a-a-a-okay. Feel them feels at 5:02
Every single time I get this song in my head I have to play it. And every single time I cannot stop singing it out loud beginning to end even if I intend not to from the get go. Every. Single. Time.
Yea !! Reg is on a whole other level indeed. I'm so in love with his mind and talent to entertain , and I never met the guy hehehe. He was born awake on a metaphysical level that's for sure.
Ideal Hoxha when I was younger. I use to think he was the funny musical gibberish man. Now I see I just wasn’t ready to hear the facts he was spitting. He uses some gibberish to keep you amused. But mean while and in between he’s giving you the secrets to the universe 🤩😁.
It's standing the test of my time. It's quite possible this is a universal truth that this goofy and wonderful human managed to stumble upon. So he shared it with us. I swore to myself and to anyone I love that should I come to understand something that would change their life and make them better... I would tell everyone. And so... I tell everyone about this.
Yep, been listening to Reggie for years, and every now and then a new realization comes forth. He's definitely for me, one like Nine Inch Nails for example, in that I can come back to a song, and it is totally relevant in new layers and meanings that I didn't recognize before. Thats how you know you're listening to some truth, imo.
I come back every few months/years to check how much I've matured based on how much I understand form this song. Had no idea what he was talking about a few years ago but I fell in love real heavy for the first time a few months ago and I'm starting to understand
Everytime I stumble upon a new (for me) Reggie performance I'm always left feeling the same thing. How is this guy not celebrated more? Hes funny, interesting, and above all he is a legitimate musical genius. A complete prodigy. The only other person I can think of who had so much raw musical power going on in their head was Frank Zappa.
There is a german comedian and genius musician named helge schneider. he focus mainly on jazz. the shows are quite similar. but reggie has way better "mouth-art" :D
The way he sings at 5:02 it’s just SOO DAMN GOOD!!!! I’d LOVE to hear him sing like that more!! He has ‘that’ singing talent and dosen’t show it off much (he does way more though)
I’d call it talking shit. Even if it makes sense. If anyone goes on a philosophical rant, I call it ‘talking shit’. But I also think talking shit Is fine.
Realicious maybe it’s an Aussie thing. “Talking shit” could mean a different thing to you than it does me. And I think what he does is very high quality. Don’t get the wrong idea.
The lyrics to this are amazing, I relate to them so much it's unreal. I never liked Reggie Watts when I was younger, but now that I have experienced more in life, and I have played so much more music myself, I get his lyrics so much more, and appreciate his skill as a musician, especially as a vocalist.
A true lyrical genius .. this song is so deep .. this song helped me to understand not to posses people’ am to learn that people can love other people and still love you .. this song taught me so much about myself love and relationships how the fuck does a 5 min musical teach someone that much .. truly amazing
I feel like every human needs to hear this
We do! Share the wealth and share the love.
This song brings me to tears with comfort. It's like I have been looking for a way to express facts of life, and be able to tell everyone it's alright to be scared. But that it isn't necessary to be scared at all. That, we are all figuring it out. But then he articulates in such a way that I never could, and then shows me the rest of the way home. A home I never been to before but have always wanted. I will hug Reggie if I ever am lucky enough to have the opportunity.
Here here
100%
Just discovered this and I’m running it into the ground over and over 🥰💃🏼
THIS!!!
"It's not always about being good, it's understanding why you're being good in the first place."
I just keep coming back for more. Sometimes it's yearly, sometimes monthly. But I always come back.
@davidrenklint4434 You can always take it with you my dude.
I don't care what anyone says Reggie watts is a legend in music
Not gonna lie- totally made me cry. Reggie is like a wise magical forest creature or something.
I was wondering how the audience was laughing. Shit's deep.
I want to hug him and for him to tell me everything will be alright
i know rite?!!!
i know rite?!!!

I love you Reggie, and thank you sincerely for being who you are.
thought it was just me..
bruh you should try: are you happy- bo burnham, that shit will take your heart and just fucking curbstomp the shit out of it
This song feels like a secret that everyone should know
Which is both sad and awesome at the same time?
I must have listened to this 40 times in the last 3 days
The part about understanding the darkness in yourself to know why it's important to be a good person is legitimately powerful.
It’s not always about being good, it’s understanding why you’re being good in the first place
One of my all time favorite Reggie Watts performances.
"Because otherwise you're living under systems that don't match who you are and you'll be fighting that all of the rest of your life"

Happy Birthday! What a gift getting to see him in concert.
Say hi to Reggie for me if you get the chance. :D
Hope you had a great day!
Whenever I'm feeling lost, I always return back here for a little reminder.
Thanks Reggie.
every time I get confused with the ideas and concepts that society lays upon me I come back and play this song..

I listen to this track everyday, it touches my soul!

Did you listen today yet?

Seriously. I started genuinely treating and talking and listening to people differently after seeing this the first time on Netflix when it came out.
@@westonforced-last-name-dis3560 3 year checkup :) Hows life now brother?
As a therapist, I play this song for client's sometimes. Great social commentary and relevant to improving mental health.
Excellent idea 😅

The relevance of musical satire cannot be underestimated. It helps us to realise just how we mask our issues in comedy or music, rather than confront.

The ultimate icebreaker (this topic, not this song specifically) in the context of mental health
If you listen carefully to the lyrics, you might learn a thing or two about apples.
It’s such a weirdly simple song. But goddamn does it make a massive impact to its listeners. Reggie Watts is a god of musical existentialism ❤️
I am so so so inspired by this human. The degree of self-acceptance, self-love, self permission to just be who he is, is profoundly inspiring. I makes me not want to imitate him but rather find my own version of that genius in myself. WOW...Thank you Reggie Watts you are an INSPIRATION
this song reminds/shows me to appreciate life.
The entirety of life's lessons in 6 minutes. The man is a genius.
I come back to this every year.
I rediscover this song on accident every few years and every few years I've grown a few more years and this song has a few more years of meaning. The last few years have been finally going to therapy and allowing myself to recognize that I've been hurt and that I've hurt other people and that I've done awful things that I never got caught for and that none of those things is a condemnation of the rest of my life.

Yes to all of this.
Everything Reggie Watts is improv based. In films, he only signs up with directors that allow him to improvise his character.

This is it chief.
Omg I watched his special on Netflix the first time I tripped on acid. Must've been even crazier in person.
Reggie would tell you we are all incarnations of god. You were right about Reggie but it applies to you just as much.
we all are
3 or 4 years since I last listened to this and it still makes me wanna cry tears of joy
shit.. it make made me cry!! i love it
Literally the best song ever made
"understand there is no order, we're all improving. And any way that makes you happy is truly the way that you should survive"
I felt that.
Improvising*
I come back to this song at least once a month
Heard.
This irrevocably altered the way I saw the world 7 years ago and I am only brave enough now to even say it. The only thing I can ask of anyone who sees this is to keep creating. I promise someone will see it. I promise you will change that person’s life

This is the most helpful thing I’ve ever heard. Sincerely.
I love this song so much. I've memorized it and sing it to myself at work. There are so many great lines, but I think my favorite is "Remember every person is an opportunity...they represent a reflection of yourself."
'Cause we are one, and empathy really is a bitch
Reggie is a space alien explaining us to ourselves. Cheers reg
love this comment
Philosophy in the guise of music. Or the other way around? Whichever way it goes it's a masterpiece!
Reggie Watts is one of the 9's.... pure creative genius code-breakers of the matrix. Thank you for being here , for lifting our spirits in this hour of darkness! One Love.
watching this is a lesson in how to turn cynicism and apathy into something positively uplifting and inspiringly realistic. My go to track for tough times in life as a reminder to smile and do everything with love and everything will be a-a-a-okay. Feel them feels at 5:02
Every single time I get this song in my head I have to play it. And every single time I cannot stop singing it out loud beginning to end even if I intend not to from the get go. Every. Single. Time.
Just it three in a row xD
"It's understanding why you're being good in the first place..."
Wow, this is amazing. Really helped me through a rough time.
I just got a mk2 loop station and this is my first cover, absolutely love this song.
there's so much truth in this and its presented in such a funny way. i love you reggie
As an anthropologist, I can't even explain how many things are happening in this video. Mind-blowing.
Yea !! Reg is on a whole other level indeed. I'm so in love with his mind and talent to entertain , and I never met the guy hehehe. He was born awake on a metaphysical level that's for sure.
This might be the most insightful song of all time and I'm a rage against the machine fan
Ideal Hoxha when I was younger. I use to think he was the funny musical gibberish man. Now I see I just wasn’t ready to hear the facts he was spitting. He uses some gibberish to keep you amused. But mean while and in between he’s giving you the secrets to the universe 🤩😁.
This song sums up the current human condition beautifully.
Whenever I listen to this, periodically as the years go by, I realise more and more that it's quite profound.
It's standing the test of my time. It's quite possible this is a universal truth that this goofy and wonderful human managed to stumble upon. So he shared it with us. I swore to myself and to anyone I love that should I come to understand something that would change their life and make them better... I would tell everyone. And so... I tell everyone about this.
Yep, been listening to Reggie for years, and every now and then a new realization comes forth. He's definitely for me, one like Nine Inch Nails for example, in that I can come back to a song, and it is totally relevant in new layers and meanings that I didn't recognize before.
Thats how you know you're listening to some truth, imo.
I come back every few months/years to check how much I've matured based on how much I understand form this song.
Had no idea what he was talking about a few years ago but I fell in love real heavy for the first time a few months ago and I'm starting to understand
Everytime I stumble upon a new (for me) Reggie performance I'm always left feeling the same thing. How is this guy not celebrated more? Hes funny, interesting, and above all he is a legitimate musical genius. A complete prodigy. The only other person I can think of who had so much raw musical power going on in their head was Frank Zappa.
There is a german comedian and genius musician named helge schneider. he focus mainly on jazz.
the shows are quite similar.
but reggie has way better "mouth-art" :D
It's a crime that this video cuts before what I'm sure was a thunderous applause. Pure Genius.
You can see what happened afterward on Netflix my dude!
@@PrettzL Good to know! Thanks big shoots!
@@KS-xk2so Heck yeah :3
Check out 'Spatial'- This song was uploaded with permission from Reggie from his improv special exclusive to Netflix!
Needed this. Thank you
You are welcome.
We all need this.
i cried
Me too
The way he sings at 5:02 it’s just SOO DAMN GOOD!!!!
I’d LOVE to hear him sing like that more!!
He has ‘that’ singing talent and dosen’t show it off much (he does way more though)
did you see his performance on Conan O'Brian? Incredible and ridiculous, just like Reggie.

It reminds me of this song in his Rifflandia show from 2012, in which he shows insane vocal control imo :)

This is such an intelligent, creative and well-constructed song. This guy is a fucking legend.
i'm pretty sure he was just talking shit and improvising it to a song. but yeah, really entertaining.
this is very far from "talking shit", if u mean that he improvises his general topics then yes.
I’d call it talking shit. Even if it makes sense. If anyone goes on a philosophical rant, I call it ‘talking shit’. But I also think talking shit Is fine.
but it kninda lowers the feeling of quality that is in his content if u call it talking shit. He is "talking life" !
Realicious maybe it’s an Aussie thing. “Talking shit” could mean a different thing to you than it does me.
And I think what he does is very high quality. Don’t get the wrong idea.
The lyrics to this are amazing, I relate to them so much it's unreal. I never liked Reggie Watts when I was younger, but now that I have experienced more in life, and I have played so much more music myself, I get his lyrics so much more, and appreciate his skill as a musician, especially as a vocalist.
I've grown to love him more and more as I get older
This song helps me with life so much.
🤗
A true lyrical genius .. this song is so deep .. this song helped me to understand not to posses people’ am to learn that people can love other people and still love you .. this song taught me so much about myself love and relationships how the fuck does a 5 min musical teach someone that much .. truly amazing
You know he is a genuinely positive person to improvise these stories and words of wisdom :D
your profile pic looks cool
I think I’ve come to the conclusion that this is my favorite song
This is an accurate conclusion
I heard this years ago but recently I've had it playing in my head over and over for about a week and a half. Not complaining.
