This is precisely what Christopher Mccandless experienced in the early 90s. Congrats Mr Posner, you've reached a level of self-love that most will never experience in a lifetime. You are making a difference in more lives than you can imagine. Cheers
Mike Posner’s growth over the years reminds me why I’m a fan during every phase of my life. High school, College, Adulthood, always jamming to Mike. ✌🏻
This kind of honest songwriting won't hit the charts but it will hit hearts. We need this honesty driven to the youth not those of us that relate years on. This guys is wholly authentic and inspiring. More power to him!
Yeah. Wanted to let you know I really like your comment there. More than just a upvote. So, yeah. You just said something very real and I appreciate it.
"people scared to look at their dreams so they look at mine.." and "ships are safe in the harbor but that ain't what ships are made for.." OMG so deep and beautiful 😭
"I say I'm not my haircut, not my body, not my clothes, I'm something much more beautiful deeper than even I know" I cry every time I hear that its threapy even when I feel hopeless ✌
“To love is very different than to own” really hit me. Being in love with someone, sometimes is kind of like wanting to own that person, like you want them to be a part of your life. But those things aren’t the same. :) that’s the way I took it
It's also kind of freeing, I loved someone a lot but I never owned them or was responsible for their actions, when they decided to leave, it was sad but it was out of reach
I think it can be applied to all things in life. I got it in a way that when you don't attach yourself to smth, it's much different, be it someone, something you want, anything. It's freeing.
I consider myself lucky to have watched Mike grow. I went through a lot this year and I listened to him and followed his socials and it helped me to feel better. It's so great to see him helping himself, even as a grown man he's still figuring it out, but every day he's getting better. Beautiful.
A lot of people can't even come close to understanding where Mike is coming from, the walls fell away, the concepts of society broken, he's saw whats beyond the veil and for what life really is. Its in this moment, there is no future that you imagine in your head that you keep thinking of how it'll be or what you'll do, there is only now, focus on it and take the ride, cos it'll end and its shorter than you think. Everything you see on social media and you keep having replays and imaginations in your head, it all ain't real, put the phone down, and realise how slow, peaceful and enjoyable life really is. That there is nothing at all you're meant to or suppose to do, there is no where to go, no "place" to reach in your own head that'll bring you that happiness, its always been in front of you, the current moment, go with the flow and enjoy the ride. This place is just a passage of time that we are passing through.
That’s the whole point of his transition. You’re missing the vibe. He’s walking away from the fame, partying, drugs, social media, toxicity that this world is endlessly supplying. Everybody on social media comparing their life to others, faking a lifestyle to make yourself feel better, taking drugs to try to mask depression. It’s all a trap. You’re creating a prison around your mind. Just love yourself, love your family, stay close to your friends, enjoy life, it’s short and realize nothing is really wrong.
Most people go their entire lives never learning this truth. “I am something much more beautiful, deeper than even I know” This MESSAGE IN YOUR ART CHANGES LIVES. Powerful.
“Old friends never tell me that I seem different. Ashamed at the way I used to treat women. Objectified. Embarassed but i’ll never lie. Mac is dead, many more are dead inside. Hideous thoughts in this head of mine. I’ll choose different ones. Life hit me in the face but I didn’t run.”
0:48 "J Dilla Vibe" Hopefully many more people will now discover one of the greatest producers of all time from that line!!!! Respect. p.s. - Long Live Malcolm. Keep swimming ya'll!
When someone just past away, and you needed to hear something soothing, to listen to, before you tried to go to sleep and get yourself together. Thank you.
We mature in different time, i think emotinally mature will like this song.. When i turned 30 i dont know i appreciate all of Mike Posners songs, and some of the other 80s and 90s songs. I feel so old, i feel like im running out of time, have so mamy regrets, oh God i want to go back to my childhood.
These came out at such a perfect time.. In 2015 I was heartbroken over my first true breakup. 9 Months later I'm pregnant with a guy I just started seeing, and it didn't take long at all before he became emotionally, and eventually physically abusive. 3 years he spent destroying everything I ever knew about myself. DHS took custody of our daughter because of his drug use and my failure to provide a safe environment. We got evicted twice. Spent a winter (in Colorado I might add) in our broken down car. Eventually fell into drug use as well because I didn't think things were ever going to get better. And my drug use ultimately ended up leading to everyone i ever knew hating me. Christmas Eve 2017 DHS was able to move me back in with my parents and my daughter, on the pretense that her father has 0 contact unless through them. A lot happened after that and leading up to today, but here I am 2 years later. My 3 year old daughter laying in bed with me. Still struggling to find my place in this world.. to feel worthy again, and to love myself. But these songs gave me a new perspective on things. It's time I stop making excuses, shit wont change unless I change it. Happy New Year 2020 Everyone!
Kailey Mac We all make mistakes, we all fall down, it's what you do from there that matters. I know you can be the person and mother you want to be. Best wishes to you and your daughter!
No judgement for anyone brave and strong enough to put it all on the line and testify so that others may be inspired. Praying you maintain that strength through everything that comes. Being your perfect self doesn't mean having a perfect life. Things happen to get us where we need to be. I'm working on being a better me daily. Blessings and peace. ☮️ You are infinitely more than your past mistakes!
My guy recently lost his dad, friend Avicii, Ronnie. He really going through it right now. But, this is what happens when a real true talented artist goes through a really rough patch in their life. Something beautiful comes out of it. When you fill an artist up with depression, sorrow, confusion, expect some great art to be created.
"I'm something much more beautiful, deeper than even i know" this line made my mind blank for a minute. Welcome back mike, you are awaked! Edit : Today i realised this song was released on my birthday! haha xD
"Beginnings always hide themselves in ends"made me quit smoking weed after 13 years straight... being sober is my less familiar state and thank you for making me realize this
I’m a week sober from marijuana. I struggle with a lot of bad thoughts and depression. Really struggling. Your music is keeping me strong. Thank you. Here’s to a clear visioned future
[Intro] Yeah, uh [Verse 1] I can worry, I can overthink things That's exactly when I tend to wanna drink things Tend to wanna smoke things 'Til I realized there's no thing outside of me That kinda helped me grow wings Listen up, I think this is dope To love's very different than to own Let that sink in [Verse 2] I grew my hair, but never lost my J Dilla vibe Airplane mode, don't kill the vibe I had to remind people I was still alive I had to remind people of what's real inside Yeah, yeah, I'm the "I Took a Pill in" guy But even more beautiful with no pill inside Feel the vibe?

Thank you for being a channel for people to wake themselves up and see.. I lost my dad almost 11 months ago.. living pay check to pay check.. lost in lifee.. but through self healing and expression and connection.. I realized this is my path.. our path.. Everyone feels the same pain in different ways.. we just need to express them and see its ok.. thank you for helping me see and allowing me to continue this movement,feeling,vibration of life.. During this time more than ever we need to be human and share compassion where there is little to be found.. be safe friends.
This is my hometown of Russell, Kansas. So cool to finally see it! I thought he was just shooting a piece of it here, not the whole thing. And such beautiful lyrics as well!
Just heard your interview with Adam Carolla, Mike and decided to take the time to listen to the first of your albums that appealed to me (all the way through, of course) 😁 i haven't listened to you in years, man, high school. i just want to say thank you from my heart for this, my friend. i thoroughly enjoyed this album. you've gained a lifetime fan. stay up!
I really hope he makes all these "walking singles" into an album. Also, this is my favorite one on his walk so far and all of his songs have been good on this walk.
It's only now I realize how much this song, along with your other recent music, helped me get through some really hard times last year. Thanks Mike. I feel like I'm growing alongside you as your music releases. I've felt this way for years, but now more than ever.
I just want you to know that this song made me get goosebumps... listening to your songs have helped me for the past couple of months. I lost my dad from cancer as well and it just warms my heart to see where your at today. your a true inspiration eventhough you probably wont see this i dont care because your a legend and i just felt the need to comment. much love keep doin cool shit
Mike I love these songs and videos more than anything.. You're transition has truly been a blissful journey and like everyone else here, we are grateful to be a part of it. Like you, I don't wanna be hamster on wheel, there is so much to life and I will try living. Simple yet rich in experiences and connections made with fellow people. All love and peace n pray we meet one day.
Bruh Mikes music shook me so hard at my foundation. truly touched me came across the video on accident didn't know, i found the song (live before i die) so far hes the only artist Ive found that has the exact way of thinking as i do, dealing with cancer in my family losing my friends to drug overdoses losing myself at times going from making 100k a year to $9.30hr it all means absolutely nothing if you cant find peace. helped me get my groove back god bless you Mike Posner life truly is now. please keep making stuff like this. your a good dude.
We hear songs either on material stuff (cars, drugs, alcohol) or on romantic stuff or on temporary state of life (heartbreak), etc . Very few people can write songs on the inner self which is relevant to all times. This requires enlightenment. Proud of you and Thank you Ram Das for enlightening a life.
Thank You Mike Posner for going through the dark and finding your Light! Thank You for reminding people that they are this same Light! Ram Dass is a great teacher 🙌 Keep shining Dear Ones
Just bought an ounce of good kush and mike is convincing me its not that important! Damn bro youre actually making good life choices seem cool! Never thought I'd say that
Thank you Mike, this song is so refreshing to hear! Almost every song nowadays is about sex, getting money, doing drugs and achieving as many materialistic things as possible. Constantly hearing those messages might give people the illusion that doing or having those things are the only things that count. That only by achieving that sort of lifestyle, you can be happy. The truth is, it is not. And with this song I can hear that you've figured that out. Hopefully this song touches the hearts and minds of other people too.❤
I never suffered from depression. Or anxiety. I just suffer from myself and i always come back to this song to understand that even the bigger people in the media feel shit too. I feel pain and you help me sort it. I know you wont see this but i met you. And mac. I dapped you both up in Cancun. I got pics too. At that moment i realized i miss myself. And you always anchor me to the good thoughts. Thanks Mike. Really.. Thankyou
Amazing, I remember him back from his college days of "drug dealer girl"! I'm telling anyone who reads this that this is pure happiness and pure love! Go Mike man you inspired me!! Darik DDUBB Wolf
*when you walk across America and have a spiritual awakening and then you express your growth, struggles, strength, thoughts, emotions, truth, positivity to millions of other beings... This is how you create change. Lemme say it again for the people in the back💣🔥👀 THIS IS HOW YOU CREATE CHANGE! Be the change you wish to see in the world. Keep on, keeping on my Brother. We are one. I am walking as you walk. As are you breathing like I am. I thank you for this. The Work you are putting in right now is contagious and you are creating so much momentum for the Shift. God is good. Bless you. Stay safe. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Christ is with you in every step. The universe loves you and thanks you for what you are doing- for being you. Xoxo
Thank you for creating such a beautiful message with this song. Thank you for inspiring me with it. I'm 34 and I just recently found I'm happy with myself, I've been all along. I just didn't realize it until a few months ago. This song just made me feel that much better knowing others can find themselves if they just look past all the nonsense. ❤️
I have followed you from the beginning I loved you then and I love you now. You are an amazing person and you speak to my soul. Much love and respect on your journey ❤️❤️❤️
You're fortunate, being 30 before knowing, I'm also "lucky", by knowing after my 45th birthday, that "there's nothing wrong"! Thank you! Thank me! Youre opening a new door, that more may come to know! Thank you!!
been watching all your new videos today, nothing makes me happier than seeing someone overcome the pains they have had to endure, God has given this man perseverance like no other. I love you Mike, you’re changing the world just by being who you were meant to be, which so many of us are scared to be.
“Mac is dead, many more are dead inside.” Hit me hard. Rip Mac Miller. Love this song.
I thought the comments would be flooded with this
I guess I just miss our boy too much

This kind of honest songwriting won't hit the charts but it will hit hearts. We need this honesty driven to the youth not those of us that relate years on. This guys is wholly authentic and inspiring. More power to him!
100%, im crying!
You are great. at least it took you 30 years, It took me 50 years.
Some people die at the age of 25 and get buried at the age of 75 :(

“I am not my haircut, I am not my body, not my clothes. I am something much more beautiful, deeper than I even know.”

And the "nothing is wrong" in the end just stole my heart

Edit : Today i realised this song was released on my birthday! haha xD
This song helped me get sober. I can never thank you enough Mike Posner
"Beginnings always hide themselves in ends"made me quit smoking weed after 13 years straight... being sober is my less familiar state and thank you for making me realize this
Yay, Im so happy for you. 😊
I’m a week sober from marijuana. I struggle with a lot of bad thoughts and depression. Really struggling. Your music is keeping me strong.
Thank you.
Here’s to a clear visioned future
I quit smoking this week. Your vibe has been what I need instead of drugs
[Intro]
Yeah, uh
[Verse 1]
I can worry, I can overthink things
That's exactly when I tend to wanna drink things
Tend to wanna smoke things
'Til I realized there's no thing outside of me
That kinda helped me grow wings
Listen up, I think this is dope
To love's very different than to own
Let that sink in
[Verse 2]
I grew my hair, but never lost my J Dilla vibe
Airplane mode, don't kill the vibe
I had to remind people I was still alive
I had to remind people of what's real inside
Yeah, yeah, I'm the "I Took a Pill in" guy
But even more beautiful with no pill inside
Feel the vibe?
[Verse 3]
I wanted to be Deion, I was more Wojciechowski
My friends gon' hit the club, I tell 'em go without me
There's a lot that these people don't know about me
I always been that dude though, no Lebowski (Stupid)
Old friends never tell me that I seem different
Ashamed of the way that I used to treat women
Objectifying
Embarrassed, but I'll never lie
Mac is dead; many more are dead inside
Hideous thoughts in this head of mine
I'll choose different ones
Life hit me in the face, but I didn't run
Perhaps Michigan'll be the place my kids are from
Ram Dass is the man I got the vision from
[Interlude]
It's alright, yeah, uh
It's alright, yeah
Uh, ayy
[Verse 4]
I donated all my Jordans, didn't do a post
They were taking up the space that I needed to grow
That was a Sage Francis line; I stole it
But there was no better way to say that
There is no future, no time
Look at yourself; don't be so bovine
Courage used to be something that I couldn't find
People scared to look at their dreams so they look at mine, yeah
Whatever makes you feel good inside (It's alright)
[Outro]
I was in the gym the other day in Los Angeles
And I saw all of the beautiful bodies
Running on the treadmills, staring at the screens
And it reminded me of hamsters running on the wheel
And that's when I really decided right then and there
I'm not gon' be a hamster on a wheel
I'm gon' do it
Twitter is apoplectic
Squirrels with acorns
I said it before
Ships are safe in the harbor, but that ain't what ships are made for
I say I am not my haircut, I'm not my body
Not my clothes; I'm something much more beautiful
Deeper than even I know
Took me 30 years to wake up and write this song
Took me 30 years to realize nothing is wrong.

Nice
Hey guys ,
Could anyone please suggest more songs like this ?
The writing , beats , verses this is the real stuff !!🔥

To love is very different than to own......... that did sink in
I just want you to know that this song made me get goosebumps... listening to your songs have helped me for the past couple of months. I lost my dad from cancer as well and it just warms my heart to see where your at today. your a true inspiration eventhough you probably wont see this i dont care because your a legend and i just felt the need to comment. much love keep doin cool shit
Ram das is the man I got the vision from.. be here now 🙏🌍♥️

I actually feel like i'm growing with Mike Posner along side
Same bro been with him since cooler than me
I said the same thing.. we are all one. We are all growing, and everything will be alright. 🫶🏼
W So he becomes wrong and always lies? Then theyd be able to win, someone else would know this ❤
Mike I love these songs and videos more than anything.. You're transition has truly been a blissful journey and like everyone else here, we are grateful to be a part of it. Like you, I don't wanna be hamster on wheel, there is so much to life and I will try living. Simple yet rich in experiences and connections made with fellow people.
All love and peace n pray we meet one day.
Congratulations Mike. You've figured out what most of the world never will, and you're still young enough to do something with that knowledge.
This is very spontaneous like I was bouta go to sleep and hear this deep ass song
Elias Ortega bro this was hella me
Love you posner... Don't know but your videos are filled with Positivity......
Bruh Mikes music shook me so hard at my foundation. truly touched me came across the video on accident didn't know, i found the song (live before i die) so far hes the only artist Ive found that has the exact way of thinking as i do, dealing with cancer in my family losing my friends to drug overdoses losing myself at times going from making 100k a year to $9.30hr it all means absolutely nothing if you cant find peace. helped me get my groove back god bless you Mike Posner life truly is now. please keep making stuff like this. your a good dude.
We hear songs either on material stuff (cars, drugs, alcohol) or on romantic stuff or on temporary state of life (heartbreak), etc .
Very few people can write songs on the inner self which is relevant to all times. This requires enlightenment.
Proud of you and Thank you Ram Das for enlightening a life.
These lyrics are a matter of realization
It ll be relevant to everyone when its time
😇
Here in 2020... Mike. You deserve everything in the world ! What. A. Guy.!
“Donated all my Jordan’s didn’t take a post, they were taking up the space I needed to grow”
Mike has helped me realize it is okay to be yourself, to be different. Mike, you are my hero.
DAMN!!! YOU ARE THE ENLIGHTENED ONE MIKE!!!! I GOTTA ADMIT THAT I RESPECT YOU MORE THAN ANY OTHER ARTIST! ♥️
Thank You Mike Posner for going through the dark and finding your Light! Thank You for reminding people that they are this same Light! Ram Dass is a great teacher 🙌 Keep shining Dear Ones
Mike Posner - Keep going. He should win Album of the year. All the lyrics hit hard.
I shed tears to this song, thank you for the beautiful vibes! god bless🙏🏻
I freaking love Mike Posner😭❤
He's such a chill person
Just bought an ounce of good kush and mike is convincing me its not that important! Damn bro youre actually making good life choices seem cool! Never thought I'd say that
Thank you Mike, this song is so refreshing to hear! Almost every song nowadays is about sex, getting money, doing drugs and achieving as many materialistic things as possible. Constantly hearing those messages might give people the illusion that doing or having those things are the only things that count. That only by achieving that sort of lifestyle, you can be happy. The truth is, it is not. And with this song I can hear that you've figured that out. Hopefully this song touches the hearts and minds of other people too.❤
You can feel the vibration of Love through the screen in this tune. So beautiful brother! ✌️👁🙏🏻👣
Thank god. I hope this song can make someone can wake up too.
Especially “me” 💚💚
I never suffered from depression. Or anxiety. I just suffer from myself and i always come back to this song to understand that even the bigger people in the media feel shit too. I feel pain and you help me sort it. I know you wont see this but i met you. And mac. I dapped you both up in Cancun. I got pics too. At that moment i realized i miss myself. And you always anchor me to the good thoughts. Thanks Mike. Really.. Thankyou
Don’t let anyone say Kansas isn’t beautiful. It brings peace to the soul being in the country
Just imagine MP singing about his true love. His forever. No heartbreak or life lessons. Just happiness. GOLD.
Amazing, I remember him back from his college days of "drug dealer girl"! I'm telling anyone who reads this that this is pure happiness and pure love! Go Mike man you inspired me!! Darik DDUBB Wolf
I’m legit crying right now. I needed this song so much, I love you mike. Keep making amazing music and spreading positivity and love
Your an inspiration and your journey has helped me in some tough times. You have have changed my outlook on life. Thank you.
You gotta relax Mike! Slow down and this , you're out here murdering. I've listened to this 50x at work today, bare minimum.
Curtis Walters me to got this shit on repeat no joker bare minimum
*when you walk across America and have a spiritual awakening and then you express your growth, struggles, strength, thoughts, emotions, truth, positivity to millions of other beings...
This is how you create change.
Lemme say it again for the people in the back💣🔥👀

We are one. I am walking as you walk. As are you breathing like I am.

Very well said. Reminds me of MC Yogi's song - Be the change - ua-cam.com/video/n_gQxVOmod0/v-deo.html
Thank you for creating such a beautiful message with this song. Thank you for inspiring me with it. I'm 34 and I just recently found I'm happy with myself, I've been all along. I just didn't realize it until a few months ago. This song just made me feel that much better knowing others can find themselves if they just look past all the nonsense. ❤️
I really enjoy this Mike. He seems to be such a great dude.
This song still motivates me and it's year 2022
We need that mental health becomes a cool topic of songs, go for hep, find your self.
Dear Mike,
You carry on with the things that make you feel content and in touch with your inner peace.
All the very best Mike!
I would love to see a conversation between Mike Posner and YesTheory!
it's so inspiring loving and real to see how Mike and more people are waking up. And the comments here so positiveeee. I really love this
Filmed in Russell Kansas, that's pretty cool man. Great song!
How do you know
I have followed you from the beginning I loved you then and I love you now. You are an amazing person and you speak to my soul. Much love and respect on your journey ❤️❤️❤️
I can’t stop listening to this. Damn it’s beautiful in every way. The lyrics, the beat, the visual.
You're fortunate, being 30 before knowing, I'm also "lucky", by knowing after my 45th birthday, that "there's nothing wrong"! Thank you! Thank me! Youre opening a new door, that more may come to know! Thank you!!
Such powerful lyrics he’s incredible and so underrated
been watching all your new videos today, nothing makes me happier than seeing someone overcome the pains they have had to endure, God has given this man perseverance like no other. I love you Mike, you’re changing the world just by being who you were meant to be, which so many of us are scared to be.
"I'm the guy 'I TOOK A PILL IN' guy
But even more beautiful with no pill inside"
I felt that.
So proud to see MP living his life these days. Much love and respect. Come to the Atlanta burbs and enjoy a cup of coffee with me sometime!
