Atmosphere and Aesop Rock were there for the darkest times of my adult life. Through the big break up, the loss of my job and my home. You guys helped me stand back up, thank you.
This song helped me out a lot at the beginning of my recovery. It always reminds me of how terrible I would feel the next morning after heavy drinking. Hangovers, I don't miss them a bit. To think about how many days I lost recovering from the night before or plans, I screwed up letting down family and friends. Just for a night of temporary happiness to be led by dreadful days that led to depression and miserable recovery. Being able to wake up now feeling good, not worrying about where I left the car keys or wallet, wondering what the hell happened last night, or where I am, is terrific. When you trapped in a cycle, dependent on alcohol or other substances, you forget what true happiness is. You stop doing activities you once enjoyed, or don't do as often because you're recovering or too worried about that next drink or use to make you feel better. You forget about the little things in life that matter and make every day worth getting up. There's more to life than a bottle and a bag. It is not easy at first to reconnect with activities you once enjoyed doing, because we forget what they were. When you have to drink or get high to have fun, you forget how to live. It's kinda sad when you think about it, 'I need to alter my brain with substances to enjoy myself.' But we get to that point and don't even realize it. Its never too late, once you can catch yourself, you can change yourself. Not only does this song remind me of the bad but also the good. It sings about that seriously who wants to be stuck in a bed all day when it's beautiful out. To get outside and take everything in that nature has to offer is a special kind of internal high. It sings about those little things in life that make us happy, " It fills you with good energy to get up, out, and have some fun. Spend a day sober means you'll wake up the next day energized, fresh, and ready to go all over again. My favorite part of this song is, Sometimes you have to give in and accept the fact what your doing is not working, and alcohol or drugs are the problems. Accept defeat, surrender, give in, so you can turn yourself around and take back that life you once had and deserve. Learn to enjoy yourself without the substances so you can love the days ahead in the
LEGIT HANDS DOWN YOU ARE RIGHT. BRO THAT WOULD OF BIN THE BEST IDEA FOR THIS SONG. JUST SLUG AND ANT CRUISIN ON SOME BIKES TO A NICE SCENERY BEHIND ONE OF THEIR BEST SONGS.
15 years listening to this song, and it never gets old. It somehow manages to reach a different place within me every time I listen to it. Priceless, ageless, timeless. I love you, Slug, and I love you, Ant. Thank you for helping me stay alive.
Approach it like everything after the second fall is a hallucination because he hit his head and is unconscious. A few of his songs explore the moments leading up to death or mortality, so it's not a stretch and would explain the jarring sudden shift if what's happening.
Been listening to this song on my bad days for years and have never commented... I love this song. I love the flow. The perfect song after a long night.
Maybe not this song but shit man I was finding atmosphere on lime wire and bear share. But once I got older bought all his shit. Support the things you love
This song is also apart of my life. Born n raised in southern california. just turned 30 yesterday. Ive had quite a hard yet easy and great life. This song is just something that is so special on a sunny day here in cali. we are so blessed to be americas.... and those of us in cali were blessed to live in such a beautiful place.
Lyrics: There ain't no way, to explain or say How painful the hangover was today In front of the toilet, hands and knees Tryin' to breathe in-between the dry-heaves My baby made me some coffee Afraid that if I drink some It's probably comin' right back out me Couple of Advil, relax and chill At a standstill with how bad I feel I think I need to smell fresh air So I stepped out the back door and fell down the stairs The sunlight hit me dead in the eye like It's mad that I gave half the day to last night My bad sight made me trip on my ass right Into that patch of grass like "That's life" All of a sudden, I realized somethin' The weather is amazin', even the birds are bumpin' Stood up and took a look and a breath And there's that bike that I forgot that I possessed Never really seen exercise as friendly But I think something's tellin' me to ride that 10 speed The brakes are broken, that's alright The tires got air and the chain seems tight, huh Hopped on, and felt the summertime It reminds me of one of them Musab lines Like Sunshine sunshine, it's fine I feel it in my skin, warmin' up my mind Sometimes you gotta give in, to win I love the days when it shines Whoa, let it shine Sunshine sunshine, it's fine I feel it in my skin, warmin' up my mind Sometimes you gotta give in, to win I love the days when it shines Whoa, let it shine Whoa, let it shine Whoa, let it shine Whoa, let it shine Whoa let it If I could I would keep this feelin' in a plastic jar Bust it out whenever someone's actin' hard Settle down, barbecue in the backyard The kids get treats and old folks get classic cars Everyday that gets to pass is a success And every woman looks better in a sundress The sunshine's an excuse to shoot hoops, get juice Show improve them moves and let loose I hear voices, I see smiles to match 'em Good times, and you can feel it in the fashion Even though the heat cooks up the action The street's still got butterflies, enough kids to catch 'em Ridin' my bike around these lakes, man Feelin' like I finally figured out my escape plan Take it all in the day, started off all wrong But somehow now that hangover is all gone Ain't nothin' like the sound of the leaves When the breeze penetrates these Southside trees Leanin' up against one, watchin' the vibe Forgettin' all about the stress, thankin' God I'm alive It's so simple, I had to keep the song simple And when I get home, I'm gonna open all the windows Feelin' alright, stopped at a stop-sign A car pulled up, bumpin' Fresh Prince at Summertime Summer summer, time I feel it in my skin, warmin' up my mind Sometimes you gotta give in, to win I love the days when it shines Whoa, let it shine Sunshine, sunshine it's fine I feel it in my skin, warmin' up my mind Sometimes you gotta give in, to win I love the days when it shines Whoa, let it shine Whoa, let it shine Whoa, let it shine Whoa, let it shine Whoa let it
Man, this song gets me every time. I’m a recovering alcoholic (9 1/2 years sober today) & any time I’m struggling with my sobriety, this song comes on. It’s helped me out through some pretty crappy times.
I'm listening to this while riding my bike for the first time since my hip surgery, after being locked up inside my house for 3 months of healing in the summer, and I have tears in my eyes!
I used to love this song as a teen, at 21 I sold my car to pay a debt, but now that I'm on my feet, I'm still biking everywhere and back, and still living this jam!
everybody had their own vision for how a video for this song would be but not one of those visions had a girl in a warehouse, so bravo to you and your creativity to think outside of the box that is already outside of a box.
Deltal0l thats the exsact reason this video dam near tainted the view i had to the very first atmosphere song i first ever heard; Sunshine.......and then I have to find out that this half ass music video was created for my favorite all time song.............i dont want to hate but they made it easy to do so
Just saw you in Seattle.. I've battled addiction and depression my entire life. Your concert was one of the few things that have made me genuinely smile. Couple times in my life I've stood there and listened to the trees.. tripped me tf out. You're a great group. I met ant and I hope I get to meet you next time. Much love
Respect for this. Classic song. There ain't nothing wrong with the video, the ideia itself is pretty original... but after a decade, it's like I already had a totally different "video" in my mind and it was much more simple and relaxed than this. I couldn't ever imagine it like this in a studio. But that's the directors interpretation and the risks of making a video for a song so long after it's released... music has already painted pictures and videos in everyone minds, and sometimes its hard to beat that ;)
+Sebastião Santana See, now you are the viewer I can respect. I just got done telling someone the video isn't what the song is about, it's just there for those who want it to be there. I just got done telling somebody that the music is REALLY where it's at so thank you man! I can respect you, and I appreciate the fact that people in the youtube comment section aren't always prepubescent children that want to put things down to make themselves feel better. It's silly, mainly because I shouldn't even be ABLE To say these things, considering I'm only sixteen myself. Grown ass men getting lectured by a teen is silly, so I'm just glad some people know whats up around here.~ Re: The aforementioned post "But does it matter? Isn't the whole point of this song to appreciate life? Who cares if the lip syncing is a bit off! Just let the music flow into you and radiate the good vibes man! That's what it's all about, the music video isn't even hardly a mention able aspect of this song. I know it's there, but it's just there for those who want it! So if you don't want it, just bump it to the music man! Keep it real, and have a nice day man."
This song. I remember playing in high school telling myself it’ll get easier. Now a little into life I listen to this in a similar but different way. It’s after you hit those genuinely hard times that you’ll appreciate the message in this record. I wonder if even they know what they created
I'm trying not to cry listening to this song. Atmosphere's albums defined my childhood and adolescence and I'm so grateful for all the memories, the songs, the shows. Thank you Sean and Anthony for giving my life a soundtrack
, ERC bizzieooooooop BIPOLAR depression depression dropping weight on head like Tony tiger's shredded cheese is melted and butterflies knives don't forget wash you're hand's before touching my food and stamp duty free minded.
Hope I meet you one day as I am from Shakopee. I have spent over 17 years in the Military and your music has gotten me thru the hardest time in my life. Most of all this song!!! Love ya'll keep the great work up!!!! Thank you!!!
I heard this song when it came out and motivated me to find a bike to ride. I found and purchased a really old beach cruiser in a swapmeet in Costa Mesa and had it painted and fixed up. I ended up riding around the following years having some if the better times of my teens with new friends riding all around orange county from the ghettos of Santa Ana to the the beaches of Newport.
i agree, that's usually the thing with atmospheres music, its supposed to remind you of something, but with certain music videos it just doesn't match up
+Chief Squatcho Completely agree. The video was nice, but not at all like I would have preferred it. I always imagine this as some dude on a bike around Fort Greene, NY
I picture slug getting out of bed, having trouble with wanting to get up, then he goes outside and sees amazing views of the lakes / city / world and its all good
I’m 30yrs now 2022… this song has been with me since I first heard it in 2007 and dead ass Sean dude, this song got me through so many dark days.. even now I’m gonna record my first song and this the first song I had to sample! Dude.. I pray you get my mixtape because I’m dedicating the LP to you homie
Man.... I wish I could shake these guys hands for all the bs they've gotten me thru in life. I hope they know how many people they've helped just thru their music
This song motivated me to go smoke a cigarette and see some sunshine... and then i remember its middle of the fucking winter in scandinavia. God fucking dammit
I've heard this songs so many times in my life..I dont know why, but always when I'm sad it brings me peace, and when I'm happy brings me joy, thanks atmosphere!
I’ve been listening to this since 6th grade in the bus and always had a good day. Looking at the video it just makes me smile even more because even as the camera pans away people are still vibing and enjoying themselves
Everyday that gets a pass is a success and every women looks better in a sundress.. how true.. Thanks Rhymesayers! Such great memories and feelings your music brings. I'll never forget you guys..
I used to work in landscaping, and one of my coworkers (who was like an older brother to me) used to bump this song in the truck when he was feelin the weather. He's been in a coma for a couple months now, but this song reminds me of the good times we had. I really miss him
That the point. It the third eye perspective of 4th wall breaking. We all stuck indoors to our false reality but never outside liveing life to the fullest being just like our idols but never like our leaders.
I love you guys! Your songs have literally made me smile, laugh, cry, grow, and stopped me from multiple suicide attempts when I was young. Just wanna say Thank Youz! Mad love from Seattle. I’m from Marquette, MI- Upper Peninsula. Been a fan for 20+ years. Keep doing what you love because I love it all!
***** Considering the hangover I had the first time I had listened to this song in '09, I'd love to have seen Sean and Anthony in this video. I might have had food poisoning, but the fact of the matter is... I was fucked up the first time I heard this song, and would love to have seen Atmosphere. Good job though UofM(?) folks!
I remember in January last year they played in Deep Ellum,Tx. I went with my dad and my brother's, I met Ant! I couldn't have made it this far without their music.
Anytime I was depressed I listened to your music and somehow you cured it. I don’t think you got the best flow but your words are what change the perception of depression for another.
I'm his Tooki Pook, he's my only TookiPook, and I cant really put it into words, but Robin Grice aka Took... yin to yang daydream believer...I love the way he stands , the way he always serenades me , and the two of us are the only ones who know, and that's enough
Still here, August 2024, this is the song that got it all started for me. Heard it on an old navy ship next to the Intepid air craft carrier in nyc. Dudes in the kitchen were bumping this making dinner cause they were leaving that night and i shazamd the song 😂😂 much love from Buffalo NY 🙏💯 the other "land of the cold air ❄️🌫
This song makes me want to go buy a bike. I've been a fan of atmosphere for years. I've been pretty depressed lately, but this song has got me thinking about the good ol' days when working off a hangover was the biggest challenge in life. Thanks atmosphere, much appreciated
Holy cannoli!!! Who could NOT like this( if they understand this dim of music). Fabulously intelligent and qwerky - just like Slug and his transcendental lyrics.
First time hearing the actual song! I've only ever heard the instrumental and been listening to it for years...one of my favourite instrumentals ever and to write too! 👏
Sunshine, sunshine, it's fine I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind, Sometimes you gotta give in to win, I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shin
This just one of those songs that will be apart of my life for life.
10 years later
What this guy said ^ pandoras cafe shop.
do they have any other chill songs besides sunshine and yesterday?
this song been 10 years in my playlist rn lol.
15 + years listening to atmosphere, still great!
Atmosphere and Aesop Rock were there for the darkest times of my adult life. Through the big break up, the loss of my job and my home. You guys helped me stand back up, thank you.
Exactly. When people ask me why I prefer such lyrical rappers over those that are "catchy," I explain exactly that to them. You're not alone!
Amen to that!
god bless you !
That's damn right, brother
@tavis Pergentile hope you still good, fam. Bent life always gets me out of dark places.
Nostalgia man. What a beautiful nightmare life is.
3 years later, still hits
Amen brother, F'ing Amen
Bipolar depression has riddled me but this song makes it easier to accept mistakes and feel happy. I love it
The only ppl that never made mistakes, never did anything …just saying 😉

Glad you made the choice to get sober. All the best to you.
I would have been happy with Ant and Slug just riding around on bikes on a sunny day.
All time favourite track !

Lyrics:
There ain't no way, to explain or say
How painful the hangover was today
In front of the toilet, hands and knees
Tryin' to breathe in-between the dry-heaves
My baby made me some coffee
Afraid that if I drink some
It's probably comin' right back out me
Couple of Advil, relax and chill
At a standstill with how bad I feel
I think I need to smell fresh air
So I stepped out the back door and fell down the stairs
The sunlight hit me dead in the eye like
It's mad that I gave half the day to last night
My bad sight made me trip on my ass right
Into that patch of grass like "That's life"
All of a sudden, I realized somethin'
The weather is amazin', even the birds are bumpin'
Stood up and took a look and a breath
And there's that bike that I forgot that I possessed
Never really seen exercise as friendly
But I think something's tellin' me to ride that 10 speed
The brakes are broken, that's alright
The tires got air and the chain seems tight, huh
Hopped on, and felt the summertime
It reminds me of one of them Musab lines
Like
Sunshine sunshine, it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warmin' up my mind
Sometimes you gotta give in, to win
I love the days when it shines
Whoa, let it shine
Sunshine sunshine, it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warmin' up my mind
Sometimes you gotta give in, to win
I love the days when it shines
Whoa, let it shine
Whoa, let it shine
Whoa, let it shine
Whoa, let it shine
Whoa let it
If I could I would keep this feelin' in a plastic jar
Bust it out whenever someone's actin' hard
Settle down, barbecue in the backyard
The kids get treats and old folks get classic cars
Everyday that gets to pass is a success
And every woman looks better in a sundress
The sunshine's an excuse to shoot hoops, get juice
Show improve them moves and let loose
I hear voices, I see smiles to match 'em
Good times, and you can feel it in the fashion
Even though the heat cooks up the action
The street's still got butterflies, enough kids to catch 'em
Ridin' my bike around these lakes, man
Feelin' like I finally figured out my escape plan
Take it all in the day, started off all wrong
But somehow now that hangover is all gone
Ain't nothin' like the sound of the leaves
When the breeze penetrates these Southside trees
Leanin' up against one, watchin' the vibe
Forgettin' all about the stress, thankin' God I'm alive
It's so simple, I had to keep the song simple
And when I get home, I'm gonna open all the windows
Feelin' alright, stopped at a stop-sign
A car pulled up, bumpin' Fresh Prince at Summertime
Summer summer, time
I feel it in my skin, warmin' up my mind
Sometimes you gotta give in, to win
I love the days when it shines
Whoa, let it shine
Sunshine, sunshine it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warmin' up my mind
Sometimes you gotta give in, to win
I love the days when it shines
Whoa, let it shine
Whoa, let it shine
Whoa, let it shine
Whoa, let it shine
Whoa let it
Man, this song gets me every time. I’m a recovering alcoholic (9 1/2 years sober today) & any time I’m struggling with my sobriety, this song comes on. It’s helped me out through some pretty crappy times.

Sorry for your loss.

Seeing them in concert last summer brought me to tears. So much emotion thinking about my youth and growing up to these guys. (36 male here)
I know how you feel
Been listening to this song since I was maybe 14, thanks to my oldest brother (RIP Steve) and it seems to show up when I need it the most.
I'm so happy this exists. This has been my favorite song since May of 2014. It makes me so happy. I love this music video.

This song and it’s sentiment are so important. No matter how broken we are, we’ve still gotta just breathe sometimes, trynuh look on the bright side.
Man, I used to listen to this stuff back in the early 2000’s. Glad I’m back in the Armosphere, this takes me back to the good old days!
Love the zoom out aerial view at the end
Rlly good song
I'm glad this music video isn't an acted out story, because I know that everyone that has heard this song has their own story in their own head
this is one of those songs that never gets old. I wish atmosphere made more songs like this. I wish artists made more songs like this.
Beautiful song......my dad use to listen to atmosphere.... he would sing atmosphere when he drove me to school....and while he cooked.
DimeOnceAlive Carry on the tradition
Sounds like a great man. Better believe my kids listen to Atmosphere with me all the time!
Your dad cooks AND listens to Atmosphere. He single???
Hope I meet you one day as I am from Shakopee. I have spent over 17 years in the Military and your music has gotten me thru the hardest time in my life. Most of all this song!!! Love ya'll keep the great work up!!!! Thank you!!!
I heard this song when it came out and motivated me to find a bike to ride. I found and purchased a really old beach cruiser in a swapmeet in Costa Mesa and had it painted and fixed up. I ended up riding around the following years having some if the better times of my teens with new friends riding all around orange county from the ghettos of Santa Ana to the the beaches of Newport.
I like the video but I still prefer what I imagine in my head every time I hear it.

I’m 30yrs now 2022… this song has been with me since I first heard it in 2007 and dead ass Sean dude, this song got me through so many dark days.. even now I’m gonna record my first song and this the first song I had to sample! Dude.. I pray you get my mixtape because I’m dedicating the LP to you homie
Should put it up let us listen homie
This song is gorgeous. I love listening to it.
Man.... I wish I could shake these guys hands for all the bs they've gotten me thru in life. I hope they know how many people they've helped just thru their music
This is the beat song for those who lost they're dad's before they're time. Losing you was the best thing you ever taught me.
This song motivated me to go smoke a cigarette and see some sunshine... and then i remember its middle of the fucking winter in scandinavia. God fucking dammit
Lol
+Aa3n1 :D
That's funny, because I would bet money this song was written in the dead cold of a Minnesota winter(surrounded by Scandinavians)
ha!
+Aa3n1 Laughed out loud
I'm amazed at the power of music sometimes. Every time I listen to this song, I feel happy.
I've heard this songs so many times in my life..I dont know why, but always when I'm sad it brings me peace, and when I'm happy brings me joy, thanks atmosphere!
I’ve been listening to this since 6th grade in the bus and always had a good day. Looking at the video it just makes me smile even more because even as the camera pans away people are still vibing and enjoying themselves
Everyday that gets a pass is a success and every women looks better in a sundress.. how true.. Thanks Rhymesayers! Such great memories and feelings your music brings. I'll never forget you guys..
This is my all time favorite song, it just makes me smile and sing along overy time I hear it play its just so amazing and uplifting
Can't listen to this without getting a little teary eyed. Atmosphere got me through mad tough times in life. Love this jawn.
Sunshine drops a long time ago, im so happy to see the video drop years later
I used to work in landscaping, and one of my coworkers (who was like an older brother to me) used to bump this song in the truck when he was feelin the weather. He's been in a coma for a couple months now, but this song reminds me of the good times we had. I really miss him
Superfire
The irony is that this is all being filmed inside
That the point. It the third eye perspective of 4th wall breaking. We all stuck indoors to our false reality but never outside liveing life to the fullest being just like our idols but never like our leaders.
Except that ending 😁
The irony.
It would be irony if we were all made of iron!
The sunshine is fake how much time did I waste 😅
Minnesota represent.
Fuck yeah
Slug went to my school. He's also native too :)
I love you guys! Your songs have literally made me smile, laugh, cry, grow, and stopped me from multiple suicide attempts when I was young. Just wanna say Thank Youz! Mad love from Seattle. I’m from Marquette, MI- Upper Peninsula. Been a fan for 20+ years. Keep doing what you love because I love it all!
This one always seems to bring me a little bit of peace
When im 55 (2056) ill tell my kids "this song is called an oldie, and its a classic song us old people use to relax go"
I just wish this music video had more ant and slug in it / I definitely still adore this tho
Agreed. I think it would be been better with slug as the main person and Ant as the sun. Cool video nonetheless
ILLiant that would've been dope, but I still enjoyed the video
***** Considering the hangover I had the first time I had listened to this song in '09, I'd love to have seen Sean and Anthony in this video. I might have had food poisoning, but the fact of the matter is... I was fucked up the first time I heard this song, and would love to have seen Atmosphere. Good job though UofM(?) folks!
Heyim18bro definitely, I feel that brother
This is for those still here in 2024
I see you playa
Only a few
Right here dawg and that find my balance track 😭
His music really is timeless.
WE STILL STUCK IN TIME 😂❤🎉
Being an alcoholic this song gives me hope man. Haha. I've had these days more than once. Slug will always be a real one.
I remember in January last year they played in Deep Ellum,Tx. I went with my dad and my brother's, I met Ant! I couldn't have made it this far without their music.
This is one of the best songs ever made. Expresses the feeling so beautifully
Loving them visuals feel good music
Man...this is hip hop! Been listening to atmosphere for years and this song always seems to amaze me
The girl the showed me the song has passed 🙏 I’ll forever love this song cause of her & the Memories 💔
❤❤good energy ✨️
Anytime I was depressed I listened to your music and somehow you cured it. I don’t think you got the best flow but your words are what change the perception of depression for another.
I'm his Tooki Pook, he's my only TookiPook, and I cant really put it into words, but Robin Grice aka Took... yin to yang daydream believer...I love the way he stands , the way he always serenades me , and the two of us are the only ones who know, and that's enough
FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG
She's so beautiful and did a great job on the acting. I almost thought she was for real riding around lol her tats an piercings are awesome too!
Slug is unique as fuck, just pissed at how not a lot of people know about atmosphere
ParaPara Kachak since the nineties, so yes, in the eighties they rapped about happiness
I hope you are kidding haha...
Trevor Hampton He raps about pussy and drugs, he just does it in a unique way.

@Atmosphere your the man
Still here, August 2024, this is the song that got it all started for me. Heard it on an old navy ship next to the Intepid air craft carrier in nyc. Dudes in the kitchen were bumping this making dinner cause they were leaving that night and i shazamd the song 😂😂 much love from Buffalo NY 🙏💯 the other "land of the cold air ❄️🌫
This song makes me want to go buy a bike. I've been a fan of atmosphere for years. I've been pretty depressed lately, but this song has got me thinking about the good ol' days when working off a hangover was the biggest challenge in life. Thanks atmosphere, much appreciated
thanks for playing this one last at the show
Like this comment so I can come back and listen to this classic again
Nostalgia kick.. I wish I could remember all the music on my playlist from 2009.. this was one of em.
Slug thank you. For giving us minnesotans some good tunes to look back and reminisce.
Holy cannoli!!! Who could NOT like this( if they understand this dim of music). Fabulously intelligent and qwerky - just like Slug and his transcendental lyrics.
I’ve heard this song a hundred times but never watched the video. The video is PERFECT.
Me too. Just watching it the first time😄
I use to listen to this song back in 2012 longboarding through Northern Michigan University and Marquette to clear my mind on the weekends.
First time hearing the actual song! I've only ever heard the instrumental and been listening to it for years...one of my favourite instrumentals ever and to write too! 👏
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO MAKE A MODERN MAN'S HUSTLE MUSIC VIDEO
Damn straight. I also love how positive atmospheres comments are. Special breed.
This needs to be played every morning at rehabs across the world.
Favorite rhymesayer video so far. Love it Slug. It captures the song well!
On day 2 of a horrendous hangover, still feeling this song.
First time seeing the music vid. Dope! Would love to see slug dressed up as Santa and do a music vid to “if I was Santa Claus” much love.
The sun is shining and this is the first track of the day ☀️❤️✌️
Obnoxious sun guy represent!

Andy Young Obnoxious Sun Guy for President 2020. Slogan: Anything is possible.
Thanks broholla
-obnoxious sun guy

Obnoxious sun guy represent! Years later :) Best video ever
Great tune, great video, great vibe, just...great. Thank you!
I can’t can’t the times this song has saved my day. Thank you atmosphere, you’re still greatly appreciated.
Just perfect!
my dude Sun, keep rockin' them waves bro
Sunshine, sunshine, it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind,
Sometimes you gotta give in to win,
I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shin
These rhymes I expect from a Rapper. Beautiful.
This turned out SO dope! Kept it simple, cute concept, and of COURSE my girl Niya looked beautiful! Nice job guys! ✌
Yoga With Cortni she killed it. She got an IG seem like she would post dope stuff
@@timdawg7720 what's her IG id ?
What a beautiful song and video
Be listening to this on the roof watching the stars often, love it
Very nice loving this
Man I used to bump this walking to high school. It was like 2009/2010 ish. Damn it doesn’t seem that long ago.
Yeah trust me... dont blink
one of the best videos ive seen in a long time
I think a lot of people expected the video to be what they had in their minds. I'm happy with this piece of art though. Thanks guys !!!
LOVE
This song was how it was in my young me days. Used to jam this song then to. Miss them days for sure!
Thanks man no way I just remembered this. It’s a whole new life. Song slaps way harder now. Love it
Damn I've had this song on my playlist for years but never seen the video
That has to be one of the coolest music videos I've ever seen in my life.
