This song reminds me of my emotional vulnerable times when I was in the hospital for suicide threats. That was the most depressing day with the most beautiful night. I saw the prettiest view from the top floor. Nothing lasts forever, not even pain. Keep your head up, whoever is reading this.
I saw him open for The Neighbourhood last night and this song caught my attention, along with the stage set up. I felt like I was in a dream or a music video and I would see him again live just to experience that again. It was something else, he seems like a real artist
+WindSweptGirl611 I was at the same concert and was blown away by this guy's performance (not so much by Amir Obe). Now I'm just waiting for 'They Shoot Horses' to drop...
it's crazy that it's been a over a year since i found kevin abstract, he hadnt even released american boyfriend, now he's on tour with his best friends again, making brockhamptons name go across the world and is about to go on his 3rd tour and drop their 3rd album, im so proud.
Everyday I wake up and play this song, every night I lay down and play this song. When I'm experiencing this type of depression that I'm currently going through, the smallest things can trigger me to break down. This song is what picks me back up every time I get hit hard on the ground. I can't even fuck with most of the music I like when I feel this way, but your solo music and Brockhampton help me focus on the better days ahead. I love you and all of Brockhampton for being yourselves, which inspires me to be the best I can be and always look forward to much bigger and better things to come. Thank you for being you.
+Matt H he doesn't mean to go back in time, in the lines he's asking god to please tell him when his story ends, since he doesn't have access to the DeLorean to go see when his story ends himself.
Duhpression Might not have been his intention but music is up for interpretation. If you find meaning in a lyric, whatever that might be then so be it.
It’s crazy that everything’s over already, feels just like yesterday I found this song and was introduced into brockhampton and you. Appreciate the boys thank y’all for having that impact apon me
I love BH, but am I the only one who wishes Kevin would focus more on solo projects like this with visuals etc, I rank Kevin in the same class as a Kanye or Cudi, it'd be interesting to see him in more solo ventures.
I recently dug all of this up off a random 4chan post that I was intrigued by. I have to say, its my happiest find all year. I've been in a bad place thanks to college and some bad relationships these past few years, but this music has made my last few days this week a thoroughly cathartic experience. I don't know if Ian or anyone will ever read this, but I want to make my opinion known. Its amazing. All of this music you make, and the experiences I will remember from it. Thank you for doing what you do
I've listened to this probably about 100 times in the past week. I know every lyric and tone. This song is like something that's been playing in my head for years and it's crazy that somebody actually expressed it this well. 💯/💯
this is the song that put me onto kevin and everyone in brockhampton It came out at such a crucial time in my life and helped me a lot so happy for their success and happy this song exists
A core memory of mine is my best friend showing me this 7-8 years ago and talking about his love life and worries. He now has a very happy healthy strong relationship of over 4+ years. I'm so happy for him everyday. I hope to have the same. Thank you Caden.
Ghoosebumps, when the backing vocal and sub kicked in. Proud to be OG kevin abstract cause when he's huge Imma still be an OG fan. kevin if you read this, this is absaloutley unreal. Not many songs can transfer so much emotion at once.
This song reminds me of when I got kicked out of the house. Scariest time of my life. Now I’ve got a beautiful 6 week old son and a fiancé of 5 years. It gets better.
Angels touched this mans soul after he was hurt so bad to make this beautiful song may his soul never be fix but make him stronger to make more music like this
So proud. I remember when this first came out, Ian said that this song was inspired by iris by the goo goo dolls and he said he wanted people to feel the same thing he felt while listening to that. So beautiful to see someone exactly where they deserve to be, even if that means they become unreachable. ❤️❤️
I saw him live, it was amazing. I love the bass. He played a song that I can't find all I know is that he repeats "I love my mom" over and over but I don't know the name.
Every year I put together a playlist of artist nominated for XXL's 10th spot and listen to a few songs by each of them. Every single year it presents me with artists who I grow to love. Some of my favorite artists come from that playlist. And every year get such amazing artists like Kevin. I'm glad I found him.
today is my 18th birthday and this is the song i choose to be the first song i year when i turn 18. my life has been really hard and filled with a lot of dumb shit and this song has always been super important to me. i love it and i always will thank you kevin
JD hey I don't even know you but my brother went through rehab and it'll hurt now but it's the best thing for him, I know I don't know you but I know exactly how you feel
SurvivalSheep I feel mainly happy about him receiving help in rehab (4th time now), but i still miss the brother i once knew. Addiction is capable of destroying relationships, and i feel that many people have felt the effect of this. Thank you for the reply, reminds me that I’m not alone.
you're so fucking talented man. and i think the best part about that is, is that as a fan i feel like i can relate to you in so many ways and i feel a connection to your music. and that's fucking important. thanks for coming through yet again with a beautiful track.
You heard it hear on this day Kevin abstract will be one of the most impactful artists we have EVER seen
SoularAspectTLD good prediction so far
You....weren't wrong
you right
Bro it’s crazy how you were not wrong at all
:’)
This song reminds me of my emotional vulnerable times when I was in the hospital for suicide threats. That was the most depressing day with the most beautiful night. I saw the prettiest view from the top floor.
Nothing lasts forever, not even pain.
Keep your head up, whoever is reading this.
found this 2 years later but I hope you're doin well ♥
Hope ur doing good
Quite possibly the world's most underrated song atm
I saw him open for The Neighbourhood last night and this song caught my attention, along with the stage set up. I felt like I was in a dream or a music video and I would see him again live just to experience that again. It was something else, he seems like a real artist
+WindSweptGirl611 I was at the same concert and was blown away by this guy's performance (not so much by Amir Obe). Now I'm just waiting for 'They Shoot Horses' to drop...
Same the others songs he sang were also good
+Vegan Skater same! I've never liked an opening act so much
same!!
OMG SAME
Amazing. He's going places, that's for sure. Brought me mix feelings between cudi, gambino, frank ocean, 808's kanye and tyler.
Lmao all the guys you listed exist because of Kanye
cudi inspired that whole 808s sound tho
nah gambinos inspiration was lil wayne wasnt it
+suicidal man yah old Wayne, not the new cancerous one
he has his own style and flow its sick
it's crazy that it's been a over a year since i found kevin abstract, he hadnt even released american boyfriend, now he's on tour with his best friends again, making brockhamptons name go across the world and is about to go on his 3rd tour and drop their 3rd album, im so proud.
I'm smiling cheek to cheek right now. Watching Kevin's progression from early on till this point has been a crazy ride - and I don't want off.
Arshia Monshi how do you feel 2 years later lol
Bran PRed wat
jaidsalgado autocorrect errors 😒😒😒😒 I was trying to say that it's amazing that he blossomed from this ennui to the confidence he has now.
Bran PRed ohh lmao 😅 yeah bruh
this means so much to me right now

Still waitin
I don't even know how I found out about Kevin abstract last year, but I'm glad I did!
goddamn u everywhere nice music taste lol
+Beto Trapizomba swear him and sickest rap everywhere
i see him even in jazz albuns, i see him more than my mother smh
Beto Trapizomba LMAO
I was at the Logic concert in Dallas last year and DJ Rhetorik played his song Drugs and ever since then I've been listening to abstract
locked outside of the DeLorean :(
+Nia can't go back in time. damn...
+Matt H he doesn't mean to go back in time, in the lines he's asking god to please tell him when his story ends, since he doesn't have access to the DeLorean to go see when his story ends himself.
Duhpression Might not have been his intention but music is up for interpretation. If you find meaning in a lyric, whatever that might be then so be it.
He obviously just regrets killing summer
cameron phillips love the way you explained it
7 years later and this is still one of the most emotional masterpieces ive ever heard
It’s crazy that everything’s over already, feels just like yesterday I found this song and was introduced into brockhampton and you. Appreciate the boys thank y’all for having that impact apon me
A lot of shit happened this year, and I realized that the only thing I really wanted to do was to share it with people who aren’t with me anymore.
bro i feel you
Thankyou for making this Kevin
I love BH, but am I the only one who wishes Kevin would focus more on solo projects like this with visuals etc, I rank Kevin in the same class as a Kanye or Cudi, it'd be interesting to see him in more solo ventures.
now we got arizona baby :D
Morgana if everything stays consistent we might get top 5 albums from both projects every so often
i still feel this
eu também

Cudi inspiring once again. He laid down the blueprint for so many artists today to make music. This is dope.
This is just extraordinary
The sound
The beat
The video
The feel
The person
*kevin abstract*
TYLER KILLED THIS VIDEO GOT DAMN
I've listened to this probably about 100 times in the past week. I know every lyric and tone. This song is like something that's been playing in my head for years and it's crazy that somebody actually expressed it this well. 💯/💯
saw this guy as an opening act for the nbhd last year and I've been obsessed with his music ever since
They played echo at the Kanye west Pablo pop up in San Francisco yesterday it was crazy
The music + music video touched my soul
Rachel Kim wish I could touch your soul Rach ;)
@@clippacaddy1605 .
this is the song that put me onto kevin and everyone in brockhampton
It came out at such a crucial time in my life and helped me a lot
so happy for their success and happy this song exists
2:38 This song will make me feel things I have never felt elsewhere. Please always leave this song uploaded.
A core memory of mine is my best friend showing me this 7-8 years ago and talking about his love life and worries. He now has a very happy healthy strong relationship of over 4+ years. I'm so happy for him everyday. I hope to have the same. Thank you Caden.
Ghoosebumps, when the backing vocal and sub kicked in. Proud to be OG kevin abstract cause when he's huge Imma still be an OG fan. kevin if you read this, this is absaloutley unreal. Not many songs can transfer so much emotion at once.
I’m so proud of Kevin honestly it makes me cry how far he’s grown.
IAN I LOVE U SO MUCH BRO THIS IS AMAZING
+Tommy Scafidi 100k
150
Serious 808's & Heartbreaks vibes
+noah perry I get some CuDi vibes from this. I really feel like Kevin combines the best of his influences (CuDi, Kanye, Childish, Frank)
+kewlkids94 I'd throw some Toro y Moi in there too
+kewlkids94 pretty much
YEESSS
It's great tho
So awesome to say that we were all here in the beginning to see Kevin abstract become successful!!!
I love it. this has to be made into a movie
I saw Kevin Abstract open for The Neighbourhood in 2016 and he opened with this song and I knew right then he was something special
19 years old.. crazy. Love you kev
kevin is so under-appreciated, he deserves the world.
Kevin Abstract, you are the future.
This song reminds me of when I got kicked out of the house. Scariest time of my life. Now I’ve got a beautiful 6 week old son and a fiancé of 5 years. It gets better.
love that bridge with the elctronic bass and reverse brass
Brockhampton as a whole is a creative genius that no one can touch
Keerah Sims Man this was back when Kevin was doing his solo shit
I like his solo shit, but his ideas meshing with all the members of brockhampton is something so different, and amazing.
Angels touched this mans soul after he was hurt so bad to make this beautiful song may his soul never be fix but make him stronger to make more music like this
Chris Torres i get what you're saying but he deserves happiness too
very pretty
failwhale34 Eyyy!!!
this music kinds of makes me cry.every.fcking.time.
KidCudi Vibes tho.
This tune cuts pretty close to home. Dope track
absolutely amazing.
@1:56 I got goosebumps and my eyes got watery. This is amazing. I love your music. I feel it.
Kevin is amazing. he literally motivates me to wake up
I get goosebumps at 1:56
i got goosebumps at 0:00
so thankful that i have good taste in music. that might make me sound cocky but i’m glad i was born in a generation with kevin abstract in it
heard this song for the first time in summer 2019 and now in 2020 so much has changed for this group. i'm so happy to have seen how far they've come
omg same
This is so much better than the version on spotify it's annoying
So proud. I remember when this first came out, Ian said that this song was inspired by iris by the goo goo dolls and he said he wanted people to feel the same thing he felt while listening to that. So beautiful to see someone exactly where they deserve to be, even if that means they become unreachable. ❤️❤️
this is the greatest song you have ever released. you are a fucking inspiration kevin.
And it echoes every day...
We need this Kevin abstract back
Props to Jesse from the nbhd for letting us see how great your music is 💕
I feel the same. This is another caliber of genius and I'm obsessed now
kid cudis influence is everywhere... shout outs to abstract for the heat
i'm in love with the vibe of this song.
this makes me want to cry in the best way possible. thank you so much ian
I saw him live, it was amazing. I love the bass. He played a song that I can't find all I know is that he repeats "I love my mom" over and over but I don't know the name.
That's his next single called EMPTY
do you know when empty is being released?
+Liminal Giant damn you was just on it huh lol
kevin abstract - empty i think
Dre Eason that song came out a week ago. This post is 3 months old

It made me feel a mixture of emotions thank you
Thank You So Much

i wasnt feeling kevin abstract all that much, but now i understand his appeal
Great video, brilliant production by Rome. Stay on the lookout for these guys.
so happy I found him, amazing music he's definitely got talent and dedication
Damn I'm deep in my feelings after this.....thank you so much Kevin
This music video was so close of greatness. Tight the concept, sharp the editing, lose the fillers. Greatness.
This finally finna hit a milly!!!!
Man has pure talent and this beat is heavenly.
I saw him last night, alongside the nbhd. He was amazing, when he gets big I'll be going to his concerts x
INCREDIBLE. Everyone's about to be on you. Can't wait.
i love it kevin. wow man cant wait for 2016
Quite possibly the best song I've ever heard
Damn almost three years. I’m happy he’s happier now.
50k views? seriously? what's wrong with this world? one of the best songs in 2015. nice video too.
Amazing Visuals Tyler did really well and Kevin did excellent on the song as well
This is crazy

My brother just entered another rehab program and this makes me miss him even more
JD hey I don't even know you but my brother went through rehab and it'll hurt now but it's the best thing for him, I know I don't know you but I know exactly how you feel
SurvivalSheep I feel mainly happy about him receiving help in rehab (4th time now), but i still miss the brother i once knew. Addiction is capable of destroying relationships, and i feel that many people have felt the effect of this. Thank you for the reply, reminds me that I’m not alone.
JD no problem
I love this video so much, everytime I pause it, it's a dope picture
you're so fucking talented man. and i think the best part about that is, is that as a fan i feel like i can relate to you in so many ways and i feel a connection to your music. and that's fucking important. thanks for coming through yet again with a beautiful track.
everything about this was done so beautifully/perfectly. can't wait for the album
The neighbourhood brought me here saw them last night and KEVIN killed it. Never seen him or heard his music until last night
he reminds me a bit of frank ocean
i agree
he is frank oceans #1 stan
my name is my name who has a name with my name wow shows
Frank Ocean stole the idea for wearing a helmet though
Matt Ponder no he didn't wtf😂
the song and the vid is amazing thank Kevin and Tyler
Fam, this hit me harder then it should've. Really like thiss
Song makes me sad and yearn for the past.
this song and music video go so well together
Wish I heard this dude when I was in highschool. I can relate to a lot of it. Props man, keep up the amazing work!
been listening to this non stop last few days
This made me shed a tear.
rewatching this at 2:03am got me thinking about shit and brought me to tears.
thank you kev
This isn't your first time here ,,, welcome back
Speaks to my heart.
you and brockhampton deserve so much more recognition tbh
