    this guy actually has a really cool life story. after going to duke, he released several songs that became hits such as cooler than me, bow chika wow wow, etc and then he didn't know how to handle the fame that came with it. slipped into a state of depression and after a while decided that he wanted to see if he could be happy with just music and bare necessities. he packed anything that would fit in his suitcase and gave everything else away and brought a guitar with him. After this trip he got some inspiration and found his identity in music and now hes making music he likes, not music that will be hits. Hes approving remixes too so he'll have more popular songs im sure.

      Daniel Strange Fitness because most of them are rap songs and some of the people don't quite understand, as if they simplay can't match the lyrics with the song audio.

    shits mad depressing. so many celebrities become a slave of Hollywood and wonder if the fame is really all it's cracked up to be. After stars make money and become successful it seems like they are still lonely. They don't have that solid love and happiness that many average people have. It's a game of wondering who to trust and chasing after things that will only bring temporary happiness, not life long happiness.

Maybe its becouse they're selfish and after every fight thay think " I got so many fans, i dont need you couse I can find someone else in seconds"

    "Why don't you just tell the truth?"
    Even though that question sparked such a good song, and arguably changed Mike's perspective on songwriting for the better, I do think there's also a destructive element to it. Not all songs have to be about truth and real life stories. If that was true, your artists would run out of things to write about. There has to be an element of fiction or borrowing from other peoples experiences, in my opinion.

    • @User-f1x3p
      @User-f1x3p 4 роки тому +17

      Krafty You can still tell the truth through fictional stories. Real life story or not, “i took a pill in ibiza” is truthful about fame, vanity and existential dread. i think thats the biggest takeaway from “why dont you just tell the truth?”

That was the first time I actually paid attention to the lyrics and realized how vulnerable and honest it was. What a beautiful and sad song, that's also a cautionary tale about fame and drug use. Ironically, the mega-popular remix was the very thing that was being blasted at clubs and parties as people got high.
