From Porter’s interview with popjustice “It’s about someone who’s stuck and trying to leave - but it’s scary trying to leave. It’s a representation of being stuck in this little studio: being creatively stuck, and the darkness outside the garden is representing the uncertainty of life outside your routines. It’s about taking a leap of faith towards a healthier and more balanced situation.”
TMW you realize this is your current relationship,, you're stuck here in the comfort zone,, but it's not the right one,, you need to leave, but it's easier not to : \ There are greener pastures, but you're kinda in what feels like one, even though it's not.
"Stuck in this little studio" is much deeper than it seems literally. Im very artistic and creative, but years ago, i stopped trying to work on and create new projects all the time because i was sort of becoming an artistic hermit. Even in some philosphical/psychological theories, being stuck in even something positive can have negative effects because youre stuck there. "Artists are slaves to their ideas". Itll work for a bit, but its gona get to a point where you have to change, whether its in your control or not.
Something Comforting it's the biggest "you'll be okay" message life has ever send to me. I'm keeping these lyrics in my heart, and also the feeling of it breaking into pieces ever single time I hear "Oh, there must be... Something wrong with me", that line, I can't help but break dome into tears, at first it was like sadness, recognition of my emptyness, but then it became subtle, less negative, like if I were saying that to myself, comforting myself exactly. I admire Porter for his ability to create such personal and powerful songs. Each one of them, since the beginning, they all feel like he's hugging us. Like he's there for us. Love you Porter, so excited for the waiting.
I agree with almost all of that except in the beginning he was producing really generic house music which doesn't feel quite as personal (just my opinion!) and it wasn't until Worlds that he really found his sound and that's the first music of his that feels more personal to me
Thank u for your suggestions, I will listen to them because I'm really interested in music sending that kind of message, that was my opinion only, but hey thank u for the likes, may Porter see this comment someday ❤️
To me, this video so accurately depicts what it feels like to stay so long in your comfort zone that it starts to lose its appeal, until you discover how scary yet liberating it feels to step outside.
You feel like you just looping in a cycle, everything feel the same, you feel not fulfilment, and changes making you anxious, and you don't know what to do.
To be honest, I have a kind of a personal attachment to this song. When this song was released, I was listening to it like crazy. A few days after it was released, my dad died in an accident. I was so sad and still is. I felt like it was the end of the world. But then I suddenly remembered this song. This song became like a tool that helped me get through the tough time I was going through. This song makes me happy and sad at the same time that I just can't explain it. That's the reason why I love it. I feel like that this song is there for me whenever I need it and I just can't stop binging it now. THANK YOU PORTER FOR HELPING ME GET THROUGH A TOUGH PART OF MY LIFE
Sorry for poor English. I'm Japanese but recently I really liked Porter Robinson's songs:-> When I heard that you liked Japan, I liked it even more. I'm rooting for Porter Robinson!! Sorry for the long sentence.
@@Nomatterwhat101 big doubts. The feminine voices on his music (that aren't guest singers) are synthesized by a self-modified Avanna. He often duets with it. Sad Machine is a prime example.
This video is a perfect representation of Porter's journey; Every day in this miniature forest of his, he woke up, did his daily routine, and even as the forest was burning day after day, he still insisted on the same daily activities. However, when he finally took the step outside the forest, a whole world opened up in his mind, which helped open his eyes about his daily routines. When he finally escaped the forest, he became immersed in a whole universe of inspiration and beauty, leading him to instead wake up in a huge world of endless possibility. Porter talked about how life was growing stale and horrible in the pursuit to make new music. He would cut out most aspects of what a "normal" life would be with the belief to have the firm identity as a "musician." However, this cycle of waking up, going onto the computer to attempt to make music for 10 hours and going back to sleep, made finding inspiration to make music even harder. What he normally considered his creation bubble of his studio quickly became a rotting forest. So, when he decided to chill out and try new things in life, that's when creation once again sparked in him, with this newfound appreciation of the world around him, and the spark from that became Nurture.
Oh wow I'm usually not the type to write stuff like "woow thanks for x likes" but this is the most likes I ever got in an YT comment. Honestly happy to see so many people got the same feeling that I do about this amazing video.
You know Porter, I doubt you'll ever see this, but I feel like I just needed to say this to someone, whoever's listening out there. The first time I ever heard this song was probably one of the most emotionally distressing days of my life. I'd spent the entire day arguing with my parents after getting dragged into some argument they were having that morning. Hours later they were telling me that they couldn't stay in the same house anymore and that me and my siblings (one of which is only 11 years old. I'd tried comforting her but she was just destroyed) had to choose who they were going to live with. I begged them not to force us to choose something like this. I just wanted them to stay together. After a while I just couldn't handle being around them anymore, so I left to my room and cried into a stuffed platypus plush while they continued arguing in the living room. After writing out my last words to my sisters so that I would know what to say to them if we weren't living together anymore, I got a notification for this video, and I've got to say, the timing couldn't have been any more perfect. I listened to this a couple of times to try to calm myself down a little, and even though I continued to cry for a long time, and I had to take multiple days off of school because I just couldn't handle being around my classmates in that state, your music was just, for lack of a better term, comforting. Luckily, my parents decided not to split up a few days later, though all of us aren't exactly on great terms right now. I just wanted you to know that. Even if you never read this. Your music has provided me some relief in a very tough time in my life. So, thanks man. You're an amazing artist. EDIT: I'm doing a lot better now than I was back when I first posted this, and I've left an update further down in the replies (well UA-cam's being weird so I actually had to add it to the end of this comment but nevermind that). I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards the now thousands of people this comment has reached (I really didn't expect that kind of response when I first posted it, maybe two or three replies at most!) I'm so grateful that Porter's community is so supportive and encouraging. Really, your kind words really helped reinforce to me early on that other people do have the capacity to care about my problems. Keep being great everyone, your words mean more than you know! I've decided to leave this comment here as a reminder to myself how far I've come, and as a reminder to others reading it that suffering is natural, but it doesn't devalue or define you like I'd first thought of myself. Your life can get better no matter where you are now. Even if it takes a while, I guarantee you it's worth it. UPDATE: I've been wondering just how to respond to all this for a while now, but now feels like a better time than never, so here I go. I wanted you all to know that, overall, my life's a lot better now than it used to be. I've reconnected with a lot people I care about and have received the kind support and encouragement I've really needed to begin healing and moving past some of the more unsavory parts of my life so far. Not to say I have no problems at all of course, there's been plenty more I've had to deal with than what you see in that original comment, but at the very least I finally feel like I can handle my own issues for the first time in my life, and for once my future's looking brighter than my past. I've moved out of my parent's house, I'll soon be graduating high school, I'm coming up on finishing a few personal writing projects that I'm very satisfied with, and without going into too much detail, I'm beginning to finally come to terms with some personal identity stuff that I'd been taught to hate and repress all my life. I'm sorry if any of you have been worried about me after all this time, but I hope you can see this now so I can let you know that your reaching out to me here wasn't in vain. Really, this is probably some of the most genuine care and concern I've ever received. I hope you all know that it's people like you who've helped to keep people like me going all this time. Without the encouragement from all of you thousands of people, I might not even be writing this update. I love all of you beautiful people, Thanks for caring :')
Oh, thanks everyone. I really wasn't expecting this many replies. I do appreciate the offers to talk and all, but you don't have to worry about me. I've got some good friends that I can vent to about this kind of stuff. You're all great people, thanks for wishing the best for me. : )
“If I send this void away, have I lost a part of me?” That line really sets this song up for me. I have BPD and I’m on the path to getting better, but giving up on my suffering, the emptiness, it feels wrong because that’s what I know. I love this song because it’s sad yet hopeful, and that’s how I feel. Thank you, Porter. I’m glad that you made this song, it helps. It’s something comforting.
Can we show you what life feels like without pain and suffering? Can we show you what happiness and joy feel like? Can we show you that you are always connected to the creator and every other soul around you, that you are never ever ever alone? Type yes and close your eyes if you want to feel these things? This technique is called thetahealing. You can check it out. ou have nothing else to do, just close your eyes,open your heart and say yes. We got you. We hear you. You're not alone.
feel like the square surrounded by nothingness resembles the time he felt stuck with his music and in the end where he’s lying in the grass he’s free of all that but idk maybe its something completely different bc this is porter we’re talking about
100% what I interpreted it as as well. He couldn't get a bite on his fishing rod (no new ideas) and he also lost his watering can so he can't *nurture* the life around him that he already got. It isn't until something goes out of the square that he experiences something new (the floating scenes), and before stepping out he looks up at the tree one last time (Worlds).
His last MV also had a box with the water. Maybe he's literally stepping out of the box on this album? Depends if this theme continues with other MV's on the Album. Maybe it's that same Porter Sound, but with a different Porter feel yeah?
The message I got from this song is that he was in a "comfort zone". The more you stay in your comfort zone, the more it actually withers you away. It is never good to stay just within the confines of whats comfortable to you. You have to take risks, face that anxiety and push through. In this case, jump out of your comfort zone. In the end, it may lead you to something much more vast and beautiful then you could possibly imagine.
I'm 33 and I'm going through a really rough time in my life, many times I just wanted to give up but I'm fighting!!! This is the second song of Porter Robinson that had me crying!!!! Your music is really amazing and it touches my heart and I really needed to get that stress out... Thank you for opening up your world to share with us !!!
Buddy Im 33 too and this world doesn't make sense to me half of the time. I understand exactly what you mean. I too get emotional to these songs like this one showing there is more than what we feel like we've beeen limited to. Alll we want to do is fill our heads of all of our past mistakes and struggles maybe even current struggles and feel like we're chained up in a cave with no other choice than to stare at the caves wall but just know there are others like me who get it and are rooting for you my friend.. take care...
I got to know your song on a channel called "有村泰志 / Arimura Taishi". I can't convey all my thoughts because I can't speak English, but I'm so happy to know it even late.
This song changed my life. It inspired me to leave my comfort zone when I was in college. Quite an adventure. Meet a lot of friends,and my girl, maybe my lifetime friend and my wife.
I'm a mid aged jobless guy who lost his career for over 3 years because of mental illnesses and diagnosing anxiety disorder......first I want to say sorry that a loser like me love this song......and secondly thank you for making this beautiful comforting song.... :)
I'm 55 and listening to Porter Robinson..go figure. Life,my friend, is a revolving door of challenges. It's up to you to decided when to break free and realize that you are unique. One of a kind yet connected with everyone and everything around you.We are brainwashed from the moment we enter society to believe we must conform and stay in line.But in reality we are born to stand out and not to fit in.stay strong,believe in the only thing that really matters.. yourself.
Loser like you? This song is about people like you, people like Porter Robinson. It's about getting stuck in a flawed comfort zone and every-time you leave try it, it gets destroyed a bit more and you end up right back in it until it all gone. You'll get through this.
I think the video is a beautiful representation of the feelings conveyed in the track. I loved the scenes where you were suspended in the air, that looked so cool!
*porter releases a new song* fans, five minutes after: *writes 100-page theory novel of porter's entire life* how many bugs crawled on you while filming this?
This must be about being creatively stuck. He couldn't get a bite on his fishing rod (no new ideas) and he also lost his watering can so he couldn't *nurture* the life around him that he already got. It isn't until something goes out of the square that he experiences something new (the floating scenes), and before stepping out he looks up at the only full grown tree one last time (Worlds).
I believe the part where he experiences something new was linked to a line in the lyrics, "So suffer the signs that you needed to change". Changing ourselves are challenging and can be scary sometimes but we have to endure it.
Just found that Porter actually talked about this in an interview. Read here if you're interested :) twitter.com/Popjustice/status/1242892390005948416?s=19
Wow, in my opinion, the beginning parts, he grows himself and his music and is trying to find himself. And during the part where he’s suspended with the sky, he feels like he’s writing the best music he could, but when it’s the dark stormy weather, it’s the depression setting in and then the screen is a blank canvas for him to restart. And then nurture happens!! Love you Porter, really needed this
This is the kind of music you can never put a label on. It's an experience. It reaches the inner depths of my own personhood, and I never had to say a word. Thank you Porter.
hey you, yeah you scrolling through the comments. crazy to think about how much we’ve been through right? just know you’re loved, you’re amazing, and i’m so glad you’re here to share this song with me 💚
I feel like the square represents the false fulfillment he has garnered from his music career. Kinda how he needed the "glory" to remain happy with his life. And that became a source of fulfillment that slowly began to fade as you can see with the vegetation burning to nothing. And to me, the ending represents the true happiness he has found, where the square only exists as a faded memory in his mind.
overananalyzing this song, the video and chord progression's relationship, 3~5 min read i think The box is a representation of the "comfort zone", the area that most people are most comfortable with working in. Although in this video it is represented as a small miniature forest... [cont.] quote from another comment: "Porter talked about how life was growing stale and horrible in the pursuit to make new music. He would cut out most aspects of what a "normal" life would be with the belief to have the firm identity as a "musician." However, this cycle of waking up, going onto the computer to attempt to make music for 10 hours and going back to sleep, made finding inspiration to make music even harder. What he normally considered his creation bubble of his studio quickly became a rotting forest. So, when he decided to chill out and try new things in life, that's when creation once again sparked in him, with this newfound appreciation of the world around him, and the spark from that became Nurture." TL;DR: this song is about stepping outside of your comfort zone and discovering something new, and reflect porter's own experience of this cycle. anyways, during the first half of the song, the song uses a main chord progression:(e flat major) IV, III, VI, II, VI. this represents the cycle, the "comfort zone", and even as the music, which initially is upbeat, the song itself goes through 4 of the 5 stages of grief: 1:54 represents denial, with the literal cry for "help" and the moaning vocal samples. Porter looks around in his area, looking for sources of inspiration inside his comfort zone, but fails to do so. This is also the first time he reaches outside his comfort zone. 2:19 represents anger, the kicks and the relatively rough sounding synth express the frustration that comes with not being able to make songs. 2:35 represents depression, which is shown by the lack of other instruments, leaving only a piano and the vocalist. In the video, we see porter lying down, and reevaluating his past decisions, just depression in general 2:47 represents acceptance, where some. of the instruments join back in, and porter in the video makes up his mind to step outside his comfort zone. This is also the segment in which Porter stand up, having made up his mind, and steps outside the box that trapped him in a fixated bubble of thought. After this segment, we are met with the second chorus, which reuses the elements of the previous chorus, but changes the chord progression to II, III, IV, V. This marks a big change in the song and can be seen as a revelation of some sorts to Porter. He then continues to expand outside his comfort zone, and the song continues to expand in depth as Porter adds more and more "layers" to the song. After he accepts that his comfort zone was not the best place to have been writing songs in, Porter embraces change and is rewarded with newfound inspiration.
The lyric “oh there must be something wrong with me” always strikes me everytime i listen. It hits very close to home. Something I always told myself growing up. Im a very ambitious person. I want to accomplish many things that it’s almost masochistic. But it gives me happiness. But it also brings in many doubts of me from my family. I just wanted to be told something like “I believe in you”
1:17 “Sorry, Amanai. I’m not even angry over you right now. I bear no grudge against anyone. It’s just that the world feels so, so wonderful right now. Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one.”
To me, this song has always been about depression. The void that opens up in your heart... after a while, it becomes a part of you. Trying to get better, to find hope in your future can feel like trying to abandon that part of yourself, like you're losing part of yourself. But years later, I can say that's not the case. That void is still sort of there... I don't think it will ever leave, but it isn't hostile anymore. It's there whenever I see someone struggling to get up in the morning, and it helps me be kind. It helps me understand I'm not alone, they're not alone and we all need help sometimes. It helps me reach out a hand and say the world really isn't as bad as you think. It helps me smile, and say something comforting :)
I lost my dog a few hours ago as of writing this. This album was the first place I went to comfort myself. Thank you Porter, and everyone who worked on these songs, for making my life a bit more bearable :')
I believe this song fills the gap that's left when I want someone's advice and encouragment, but I just can't bare the suffering that comes along with those words. It does so, perfectly.
What a song..after shelter and Avicii's Levels ,this one become my all time favorite song..marvelous melody and vibes.true music king... 👑Porter Robinson👑....
I really hope in the future he is remembered as the freaking legend he is. Absolutely 100% pure, unadulterated raw human emotion is expressed in everyone of his songs. And it's perfect every time ..
I really feel like I’m maturing along with this new album. The idea of finding comfort in this world really speaks to me. Contrary to the concept of worlds which was about escapism, which I totally felt identified with. Now we’re finding comfort in this world, without having to escape from it. The timing of the album really resonates with my life at the moment.
"And hoping made you hurt more..." Man I relate to that line, sometimes I don't want to hope for anything good to happen because I've experienced several rejections and struggles in a row. But I'm reminded that God has a great plan for all of us, better than anything we could hope for, and I begin to see how all those rejections led to the creation of something great in my life. Amen.
This video actually represents someone being in their own view of their comfort zone when they are stressed or depressed. The longer you stay in the comfort zone, the more it will start to lose its appeal. That is why the forest started to die away. As soon as your comfort zone dies away then you will have to face your stress and fear alone without anything to support. That is what 3:02 was trying to show you when you have to face stress without using your comfort zone. This is my opinion about the video.
Hi Porter, I just want to let you know that you're a brilliant musician. Your ability to mix EDM with deep and meaningful message is hard to find nowadays. Keep up the good work Porter!
Porter's music haunts me in the right way, and so many of his tracks have a special place in my heart as they connect me to my son. I really can't wait for Nurture to drop!
This song gotta be the best of ALL the songs I have ever listened. I really love Unfold and Shelter but this one gotta be higher. Shelter made me cry, Unfold made me feel something unexplainable, and Something Comforting did both. I've been listening to this song for 1 year now and I still do. I'll never get tired of it. Like really, I love this song soooo much especially the chorus. Thank so much for this song like really thank you very very much
reminds me of my situation with one of my now ex close friend. fits perfectly, the more i got hurt by him the more i wanted it, i really craved staying by his side but to him i was just a side-friend, i knew that ever since the beginning. after a while i started to realize that i would feel guilty for being asleep while he was awake, because i missed the time we could spend together while he never even cared whenever something bad happened to me, never asked me if i needed him by my side, always just told me not to be emo or things that just belittled the pain i felt. the more i hoped for it to get better, the more it hurt me to the point i'd just think about being worthy of nothing. the more i wanted him to be kind to me, the meaner he got. the more i wished for, the less i got. i finally told him a few days ago, but it hurts a lot, everyone tells me it was an online friendship but it just stings. now i know he never cared about me, i hope i can get over it soon. i always knew he never cared about me like i cared about him, but it hurts, it hurts so much to know he never cared while i always hid my pain to talk to him a little bit more, a little bit more time to spend together and i can't even stop being gloomy, i'm stuck between being angry and sad it hurts too much and it feels like he has died instead, knowing i won't be able to talk to him again hurts so bad but i didn't have any other choice, if i stayed i'd have lost my mind. there really must be something wrong with me, missing him even after he's made clear he doesn't care and ironically i had this song in the playlist i made for him a few months ago, the playlist he's never listened or commented on to, and now i'm listening to it on repeat for his sake. i still care about him nevertheless but i really hope the pain goes away
Relatable, man. I ain't got the bandwidth right now for a story, but these things happen. It ain't easy but distance helps, and once this has happened to you once it will give you a shield for the future.
porter was not joking when he decided to name this song "something comforting". i'm literally comforted by a song for the first time in a long time. how i wish i could go back to when i first heard the song minutes ago. ❤️
I never knew this song would jump start my entire love and creation of music. I saw it one day while scrolling through music to listen to while bored. I popped up in my recommended feed and I discovered an entire world of a guy devoted to making music and a passion for doing so. It inspired me in so many ways as I continued to look into Porters music. This song and Get Your Wish completely changed my life with music and how I developed my image as a person. So Porter, thanks!
I can't believe this came out over two years ago, but thank you for such a wonderful song. Out of all the phrases, these are current mood lyrics: So suffer the signs that you needed to change//heed all the ways you'd been thinking.
This song made me cry. I'm not comfortable stating why, or how. But just know, this song made me cry and I love it and you for that. Thank you so much.
I really love this song and my understanding of the video makes me appreciate it more. The title "Something comforting" refers to the main melody in the song, the virtual garden represents a small but beautiful part of the song which he is trapped in. He was working on this song for years and couldn't complete it because he was struggling with a creative burnout, falling into a loop of listening to the main melody over and over and feeling lost for inspiration for the rest of the song until the took a different approach, when he walks off the platform in a different direction and the video enters a "glitched state" and on the other side of it the full garden is produced, which represents the full completed song ♥️
he turned in the full 100% version with more songs (he's super happy about the album and the extra time from 2020 and the pandemic to really complete it) about a week or two ago, so we still have to wait a bit - but we'll get it soon! in a few months at the very most, but porter said a single or two will drop before then
I have never been this exited for an album. The first time I've heard a song from Porter Robinson was a long time ago at the same day my grandmother died (I think the song was Sea Of Voices). After that exact moment I felt in love with your music, and I just want to say thank you.
i personally think putting down other music is not a complement, its like saying "im glad pretty girls still exist" when meeting a girl you like, it doesnt seem appealing! cuz yknow, it tries to hint other girls arent pretty, and you can think it but it wont come across as a good complement! I reccomend complementing anything without putting someone/something else down!
I feel like the watering can has a lot of significance that I haven’t seen talked about. To me it acts as the inspiration and passion and drive to create, but then after it falls out of this vignette, the world begins to deteriorate because of the lack of what made things grow to begin with. I feel like the watering can falling is Porter’s feelings during the time he was afraid of never making music again. Reaching and stepping down on the exact spot the can fell is showing how stepping out of this world that you’ve grown but can’t grow anymore is scary but necessary to find that inspiration and hope again

Amazing news! Thank you so much for this 💛
From Porter’s interview with popjustice
“It’s about someone who’s stuck and trying to leave - but it’s scary trying to leave. It’s a representation of being stuck in this little studio: being creatively stuck, and the darkness outside the garden is representing the uncertainty of life outside your routines. It’s about taking a leap of faith towards a healthier and more balanced situation.”
TMW you realize this is your current relationship,, you're stuck here in the comfort zone,, but it's not the right one,, you need to leave, but it's easier not to : \
There are greener pastures, but you're kinda in what feels like one, even though it's not.
Thats cool
"Stuck in this little studio" is much deeper than it seems literally. Im very artistic and creative, but years ago, i stopped trying to work on and create new projects all the time because i was sort of becoming an artistic hermit. Even in some philosphical/psychological theories, being stuck in even something positive can have negative effects because youre stuck there. "Artists are slaves to their ideas". Itll work for a bit, but its gona get to a point where you have to change, whether its in your control or not.
@@CTSSTC that´s exactly how i feel right now, its kinda funny haha
@@CTSSTC that's kinda what im in too, i think?
Something Comforting it's the biggest "you'll be okay" message life has ever send to me. I'm keeping these lyrics in my heart, and also the feeling of it breaking into pieces ever single time I hear "Oh, there must be... Something wrong with me", that line, I can't help but break dome into tears, at first it was like sadness, recognition of my emptyness, but then it became subtle, less negative, like if I were saying that to myself, comforting myself exactly.
I admire Porter for his ability to create such personal and powerful songs. Each one of them, since the beginning, they all feel like he's hugging us. Like he's there for us.
Love you Porter, so excited for the waiting.
then listen to "u will be okay" by Gareth emery
You need to look up "You Are OK (A poem by John John O'Callaghan)
" from the band The Maine
This kids 14 and Porter is his inspiration ua-cam.com/video/qdjn4sB2qsw/v-deo.html
I agree with almost all of that except in the beginning he was producing really generic house music which doesn't feel quite as personal (just my opinion!) and it wasn't until Worlds that he really found his sound and that's the first music of his that feels more personal to me
Thank u for your suggestions, I will listen to them because I'm really interested in music sending that kind of message, that was my opinion only, but hey thank u for the likes, may Porter see this comment someday ❤️
To me, this video so accurately depicts what it feels like to stay so long in your comfort zone that it starts to lose its appeal, until you discover how scary yet liberating it feels to step outside.
Good point!
Where I'm at right now, well said.
You feel like you just looping in a cycle, everything feel the same, you feel not fulfilment, and changes making you anxious, and you don't know what to do.
Damn...
@@janusng1223 this tbh
To be honest, I have a kind of a personal attachment to this song. When this song was released, I was listening to it like crazy. A few days after it was released,
my dad died in an accident.
I was so sad and still is. I felt like it was the end of the world. But then I suddenly remembered this song. This song became like a tool that helped me get through the tough time I was going through.
This song makes me happy and sad at the same time that I just can't explain it. That's the reason why I love it. I feel like that this song is there for me whenever I need it and I just can't stop binging it now.
THANK YOU PORTER FOR HELPING ME GET THROUGH A TOUGH PART OF MY LIFE
My sincere condolences.
I'm so sorry for you dude, my deepest condolences...
My heart goes out to you ♥️ please take care of yourself. Rest in peace.
Ik your pain dude it will take a while to get over I hope you can get over faster than me tho good luck ❤️
always be honest.
Sorry for poor English.
I'm Japanese but recently I really liked Porter Robinson's songs:->
When I heard that you liked Japan,
I liked it even more.
I'm rooting for Porter Robinson!!

How famous is Porter Robinson in the United States?
I love that Porter basically collaborated with himself on the vocals😌
😂
I thought it’s a girl singing with him 🤣
@@zephyr8653 Female voice is synthesized by him.
@@ChristopherBurtraw it's not a female voice. It's his own voice pitched up like in Get Your Wish.
@@Nomatterwhat101 big doubts. The feminine voices on his music (that aren't guest singers) are synthesized by a self-modified Avanna. He often duets with it. Sad Machine is a prime example.
The immense sadness in the line "hoping made you hurt more" hits deep
False Hope
And the "Oh there must be something wrong with me "
it really do be like that😩

KJST stop spamming
This video is a perfect representation of Porter's journey; Every day in this miniature forest of his, he woke up, did his daily routine, and even as the forest was burning day after day, he still insisted on the same daily activities. However, when he finally took the step outside the forest, a whole world opened up in his mind, which helped open his eyes about his daily routines. When he finally escaped the forest, he became immersed in a whole universe of inspiration and beauty, leading him to instead wake up in a huge world of endless possibility.
Porter talked about how life was growing stale and horrible in the pursuit to make new music. He would cut out most aspects of what a "normal" life would be with the belief to have the firm identity as a "musician." However, this cycle of waking up, going onto the computer to attempt to make music for 10 hours and going back to sleep, made finding inspiration to make music even harder. What he normally considered his creation bubble of his studio quickly became a rotting forest. So, when he decided to chill out and try new things in life, that's when creation once again sparked in him, with this newfound appreciation of the world around him, and the spark from that became Nurture.
Oh shit this is good! 👍

You know Porter, I doubt you'll ever see this, but I feel like I just needed to say this to someone, whoever's listening out there. The first time I ever heard this song was probably one of the most emotionally distressing days of my life. I'd spent the entire day arguing with my parents after getting dragged into some argument they were having that morning. Hours later they were telling me that they couldn't stay in the same house anymore and that me and my siblings (one of which is only 11 years old. I'd tried comforting her but she was just destroyed) had to choose who they were going to live with. I begged them not to force us to choose something like this. I just wanted them to stay together. After a while I just couldn't handle being around them anymore, so I left to my room and cried into a stuffed platypus plush while they continued arguing in the living room. After writing out my last words to my sisters so that I would know what to say to them if we weren't living together anymore, I got a notification for this video, and I've got to say, the timing couldn't have been any more perfect. I listened to this a couple of times to try to calm myself down a little, and even though I continued to cry for a long time, and I had to take multiple days off of school because I just couldn't handle being around my classmates in that state, your music was just, for lack of a better term, comforting. Luckily, my parents decided not to split up a few days later, though all of us aren't exactly on great terms right now. I just wanted you to know that. Even if you never read this. Your music has provided me some relief in a very tough time in my life. So, thanks man. You're an amazing artist.
EDIT: I'm doing a lot better now than I was back when I first posted this, and I've left an update further down in the replies (well UA-cam's being weird so I actually had to add it to the end of this comment but nevermind that). I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards the now thousands of people this comment has reached (I really didn't expect that kind of response when I first posted it, maybe two or three replies at most!) I'm so grateful that Porter's community is so supportive and encouraging. Really, your kind words really helped reinforce to me early on that other people do have the capacity to care about my problems. Keep being great everyone, your words mean more than you know! I've decided to leave this comment here as a reminder to myself how far I've come, and as a reminder to others reading it that suffering is natural, but it doesn't devalue or define you like I'd first thought of myself. Your life can get better no matter where you are now. Even if it takes a while, I guarantee you it's worth it.
UPDATE: I've been wondering just how to respond to all this for a while now, but now feels like a better time than never, so here I go. I wanted you all to know that, overall, my life's a lot better now than it used to be. I've reconnected with a lot people I care about and have received the kind support and encouragement I've really needed to begin healing and moving past some of the more unsavory parts of my life so far. Not to say I have no problems at all of course, there's been plenty more I've had to deal with than what you see in that original comment, but at the very least I finally feel like I can handle my own issues for the first time in my life, and for once my future's looking brighter than my past. I've moved out of my parent's house, I'll soon be graduating high school, I'm coming up on finishing a few personal writing projects that I'm very satisfied with, and without going into too much detail, I'm beginning to finally come to terms with some personal identity stuff that I'd been taught to hate and repress all my life. I'm sorry if any of you have been worried about me after all this time, but I hope you can see this now so I can let you know that your reaching out to me here wasn't in vain. Really, this is probably some of the most genuine care and concern I've ever received. I hope you all know that it's people like you who've helped to keep people like me going all this time. Without the encouragement from all of you thousands of people, I might not even be writing this update. I love all of you beautiful people,
Thanks for caring :')

If you ever need someone to talk to, give me a shout.
I'm always here if you ever need a talk :) you're a strong person! Sending my best wishes!!!!!

“If I send this void away, have I lost a part of me?”
That line really sets this song up for me. I have BPD and I’m on the path to getting better, but giving up on my suffering, the emptiness, it feels wrong because that’s what I know. I love this song because it’s sad yet hopeful, and that’s how I feel. Thank you, Porter. I’m glad that you made this song, it helps. It’s something comforting.
you got this,
you're healing,
you're safe,
the darkness isnt who you are.
you are more than a pessimistic perspective. You are loved and valued .
Can we show you what life feels like without pain and suffering? Can we show you what happiness and joy feel like? Can we show you that you are always connected to the creator and every other soul around you, that you are never ever ever alone? Type yes and close your eyes if you want to feel these things? This technique is called thetahealing. You can check it out. ou have nothing else to do, just close your eyes,open your heart and say yes. We got you. We hear you. You're not alone.

100% what I interpreted it as as well. He couldn't get a bite on his fishing rod (no new ideas) and he also lost his watering can so he can't *nurture* the life around him that he already got. It isn't until something goes out of the square that he experiences something new (the floating scenes), and before stepping out he looks up at the tree one last time (Worlds).

The message I got from this song is that he was in a "comfort zone". The more you stay in your comfort zone, the more it actually withers you away. It is never good to stay just within the confines of whats comfortable to you. You have to take risks, face that anxiety and push through. In this case, jump out of your comfort zone. In the end, it may lead you to something much more vast and beautiful then you could possibly imagine.
A youtube channel that explores escaping the comfort zone is called "Yes Theory," I suggest you check them out!

This must be about being creatively stuck. He couldn't get a bite on his fishing rod (no new ideas) and he also lost his watering can so he couldn't *nurture* the life around him that he already got. It isn't until something goes out of the square that he experiences something new (the floating scenes), and before stepping out he looks up at the only full grown tree one last time (Worlds).
I believe the part where he experiences something new was linked to a line in the lyrics, "So suffer the signs that you needed to change". Changing ourselves are challenging and can be scary sometimes but we have to endure it.

Wow, in my opinion, the beginning parts, he grows himself and his music and is trying to find himself. And during the part where he’s suspended with the sky, he feels like he’s writing the best music he could, but when it’s the dark stormy weather, it’s the depression setting in and then the screen is a blank canvas for him to restart. And then nurture happens!! Love you Porter, really needed this

I feel like the square represents the false fulfillment he has garnered from his music career. Kinda how he needed the "glory" to remain happy with his life. And that became a source of fulfillment that slowly began to fade as you can see with the vegetation burning to nothing. And to me, the ending represents the true happiness he has found, where the square only exists as a faded memory in his mind.
Nailed it.
Or porter just likes playing in the dirt
Pinworthy.
I think (as many people do) that the square is basically his zone of comfort ig
Dats deep bro..
I really love that en 2:47 the chords in the background get detuned just before the next verse enters. Really awesome detail Porter :)
overananalyzing this song, the video and chord progression's relationship, 3~5 min read i think
The box is a representation of the "comfort zone", the area that most people are most comfortable with working in. Although in this video it is represented as a small miniature forest... [cont.]
quote from another comment: "Porter talked about how life was growing stale and horrible in the pursuit to make new music. He would cut out most aspects of what a "normal" life would be with the belief to have the firm identity as a "musician." However, this cycle of waking up, going onto the computer to attempt to make music for 10 hours and going back to sleep, made finding inspiration to make music even harder. What he normally considered his creation bubble of his studio quickly became a rotting forest. So, when he decided to chill out and try new things in life, that's when creation once again sparked in him, with this newfound appreciation of the world around him, and the spark from that became Nurture."
TL;DR: this song is about stepping outside of your comfort zone and discovering something new, and reflect porter's own experience of this cycle.
anyways, during the first half of the song, the song uses a main chord progression:(e flat major) IV, III, VI, II, VI. this represents the cycle, the "comfort zone", and even as the music, which initially is upbeat, the song itself goes through 4 of the 5 stages of grief:
1:54 represents denial, with the literal cry for "help" and the moaning vocal samples. Porter looks around in his area, looking for sources of inspiration inside his comfort zone, but fails to do so. This is also the first time he reaches outside his comfort zone.
2:19 represents anger, the kicks and the relatively rough sounding synth express the frustration that comes with not being able to make songs.
2:35 represents depression, which is shown by the lack of other instruments, leaving only a piano and the vocalist. In the video, we see porter lying down, and reevaluating his past decisions, just depression in general
2:47 represents acceptance, where some. of the instruments join back in, and porter in the video makes up his mind to step outside his comfort zone. This is also the segment in which Porter stand up, having made up his mind, and steps outside the box that trapped him in a fixated bubble of thought.
After this segment, we are met with the second chorus, which reuses the elements of the previous chorus, but changes the chord progression to II, III, IV, V. This marks a big change in the song and can be seen as a revelation of some sorts to Porter. He then continues to expand outside his comfort zone, and the song continues to expand in depth as Porter adds more and more "layers" to the song. After he accepts that his comfort zone was not the best place to have been writing songs in, Porter embraces change and is rewarded with newfound inspiration.
Thank you
Nice analysis

Porterさんの曲はどれも、暖かい気持ちになります！
The lyric “oh there must be something wrong with me” always strikes me everytime i listen. It hits very close to home. Something I always told myself growing up. Im a very ambitious person. I want to accomplish many things that it’s almost masochistic. But it gives me happiness. But it also brings in many doubts of me from my family. I just wanted to be told something like “I believe in you”
I believe in you.

@@magik97 i remember that profile picture, do you by any chance know me
To me, this song has always been about depression. The void that opens up in your heart... after a while, it becomes a part of you. Trying to get better, to find hope in your future can feel like trying to abandon that part of yourself, like you're losing part of yourself.
But years later, I can say that's not the case. That void is still sort of there... I don't think it will ever leave, but it isn't hostile anymore. It's there whenever I see someone struggling to get up in the morning, and it helps me be kind. It helps me understand I'm not alone, they're not alone and we all need help sometimes.
It helps me reach out a hand and say the world really isn't as bad as you think.
It helps me smile, and say something comforting :)
This song is perfect to listen to in self isolation 💙💙💙

Larga vida al rey Porter.
I really hope in the future he is remembered as the freaking legend he is. Absolutely 100% pure, unadulterated raw human emotion is expressed in everyone of his songs. And it's perfect every time ..
this song,
it's meaning, it's story, it's sound
is something comforting
I really feel like I’m maturing along with this new album. The idea of finding comfort in this world really speaks to me. Contrary to the concept of worlds which was about escapism, which I totally felt identified with. Now we’re finding comfort in this world, without having to escape from it. The timing of the album really resonates with my life at the moment.
"Getting made you want more and hoping made you hurt more" is one of the best and most profound lyrics I have ever heard. Its poetry. Amazing.
"And hoping made you hurt more..."
Man I relate to that line, sometimes I don't want to hope for anything good to happen because I've experienced several rejections and struggles in a row. But I'm reminded that God has a great plan for all of us, better than anything we could hope for, and I begin to see how all those rejections led to the creation of something great in my life. Amen.
This video actually represents someone being in their own view of their comfort zone when they are stressed or depressed. The longer you stay in the comfort zone, the more it will start to lose its appeal. That is why the forest started to die away. As soon as your comfort zone dies away then you will have to face your stress and fear alone without anything to support. That is what 3:02 was trying to show you when you have to face stress without using your comfort zone. This is my opinion about the video.
thanks for it
idk man maybe not
Went over my head for years. Thank you
I think this is accurate.
Another give away is that the song is literally called, "Something Comforting"

This song gotta be the best of ALL the songs I have ever listened. I really love Unfold and Shelter but this one gotta be higher. Shelter made me cry, Unfold made me feel something unexplainable, and Something Comforting did both. I've been listening to this song for 1 year now and I still do. I'll never get tired of it. Like really, I love this song soooo much especially the chorus. Thank so much for this song like really thank you very very much

Throughout heaven and earth, he alone is the honored one.
That's the She Heals Everything pose!!
Liam York The alternate name for Something Comforting should be He Heals Everything, and no one can change my mind.
reminds me of my situation with one of my now ex close friend. fits perfectly, the more i got hurt by him the more i wanted it, i really craved staying by his side but to him i was just a side-friend, i knew that ever since the beginning. after a while i started to realize that i would feel guilty for being asleep while he was awake, because i missed the time we could spend together while he never even cared whenever something bad happened to me, never asked me if i needed him by my side, always just told me not to be emo or things that just belittled the pain i felt. the more i hoped for it to get better, the more it hurt me to the point i'd just think about being worthy of nothing. the more i wanted him to be kind to me, the meaner he got. the more i wished for, the less i got. i finally told him a few days ago, but it hurts a lot, everyone tells me it was an online friendship but it just stings. now i know he never cared about me, i hope i can get over it soon. i always knew he never cared about me like i cared about him, but it hurts, it hurts so much to know he never cared while i always hid my pain to talk to him a little bit more, a little bit more time to spend together and i can't even stop being gloomy, i'm stuck between being angry and sad it hurts too much and it feels like he has died instead, knowing i won't be able to talk to him again hurts so bad but i didn't have any other choice, if i stayed i'd have lost my mind. there really must be something wrong with me, missing him even after he's made clear he doesn't care and ironically i had this song in the playlist i made for him a few months ago, the playlist he's never listened or commented on to, and now i'm listening to it on repeat for his sake. i still care about him nevertheless but i really hope the pain goes away
Relatable, man. I ain't got the bandwidth right now for a story, but these things happen. It ain't easy but distance helps, and once this has happened to you once it will give you a shield for the future.
porter was not joking when he decided to name this song "something comforting". i'm literally comforted by a song for the first time in a long time. how i wish i could go back to when i first heard the song minutes ago. ❤️
日本に来てくれて、本当にありがとう。
I never knew this song would jump start my entire love and creation of music. I saw it one day while scrolling through music to listen to while bored. I popped up in my recommended feed and I discovered an entire world of a guy devoted to making music and a passion for doing so. It inspired me in so many ways as I continued to look into Porters music. This song and Get Your Wish completely changed my life with music and how I developed my image as a person.
So Porter, thanks!
I can't believe this came out over two years ago, but thank you for such a wonderful song.
Out of all the phrases, these are current mood lyrics: So suffer the signs that you needed to change//heed all the ways you'd been thinking.
there's just something about the last few chords that always pull tears out of me.... it's like the formula to connect to the soul
i cannot wait to hear this live in London!!!
This song made me cry. I'm not comfortable stating why, or how. But just know, this song made me cry and I love it and you for that. Thank you so much.

結婚なんかな。諦めてでもその場所が大切で。でも心地いいのは、というか心地よくないのは大事に大切にしないといけない人との時間。
心地いいのは一人の時間。
みんなすげーな頑張ってんな。
I really love this song and my understanding of the video makes me appreciate it more. The title "Something comforting" refers to the main melody in the song, the virtual garden represents a small but beautiful part of the song which he is trapped in. He was working on this song for years and couldn't complete it because he was struggling with a creative burnout, falling into a loop of listening to the main melody over and over and feeling lost for inspiration for the rest of the song until the took a different approach, when he walks off the platform in a different direction and the video enters a "glitched state" and on the other side of it the full garden is produced, which represents the full completed song ♥️
Thanks Jack!
Okay let’s get that album now yeah it’s been long enough
he turned in the full 100% version with more songs (he's super happy about the album and the extra time from 2020 and the pandemic to really complete it) about a week or two ago, so we still have to wait a bit - but we'll get it soon! in a few months at the very most, but porter said a single or two will drop before then
Just have patience so he can di as much as he wants.
albums finished, just gotta wait now :-)
@@ky4230 i mean theres another single bfore this. Im guessing its gonna be like sad machine with it dropping at the same time tho
Lmfao what a mood
I have never been this exited for an album.
The first time I've heard a song from Porter Robinson was a long time ago at the same day my grandmother died (I think the song was Sea Of Voices). After that exact moment I felt in love with your music, and I just want to say thank you.
una vez que entras y entiendes su universo, no puedes salir...
PD: paz para tu abuelita 🙏
@@dR0L0b no hacía falta, ya supere esa etapa. Pero igualmente gracias!
@@dR0L0b y sobre lo del universo de Porter: estoy completamente de acuerdo.
Porter you have single handedly made one of the most beautiful albums I've ever listened to. The ending of this song alone just about cracked my egg.
凄い爽快な音楽…！
私はあなたが作る曲が大好きです。応援してます。
Checking this out for the first time. I’m glad people are still writing real music.
This is so accurate.
Welcome!
i personally think putting down other music is not a complement, its like saying "im glad pretty girls still exist" when meeting a girl you like, it doesnt seem appealing! cuz yknow, it tries to hint other girls arent pretty, and you can think it but it wont come across as a good complement!
I reccomend complementing anything without putting someone/something else down!
@@SandreyTooniez touch grass
@@llkurofoxll1013 no you♡
This song never fails to make me tear up.
I feel like the watering can has a lot of significance that I haven’t seen talked about. To me it acts as the inspiration and passion and drive to create, but then after it falls out of this vignette, the world begins to deteriorate because of the lack of what made things grow to begin with. I feel like the watering can falling is Porter’s feelings during the time he was afraid of never making music again. Reaching and stepping down on the exact spot the can fell is showing how stepping out of this world that you’ve grown but can’t grow anymore is scary but necessary to find that inspiration and hope again
