Lyrics:
Verse:
Is it fate?
if it’s not easy, it must not be
At that age
I cherished the flowers beneath my feet
But then something must have changed in me,
I used to feel so light
Now I’ll try,
I just want time
Pre-Chorus:
Wait again,
I will be much better then
Holding on, I said:
“I will be much better, then”
Chorus:
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Verse:
Are you close?
Shouldn’t it come to you naturally?
And everyone knows:
You’re losing your gift, and it’s plain to see
But then something must have changed in me,
I don’t fear it anymore
Now I’m sure
I’m sure
Bridge:
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Pre-Chorus:
Wait again, I will be much better then
And suddenly, I’ve restored your faith in me
Chorus:
Look at the sky
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Outro:
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good
Something good

I know it sounds stupid to base your hope on a song and that many people don’t get it, but I’ve been in a downward slump for nearly 2 years. I dropped out of university, have severe anxiety and depression, gave up on all my hobbies and just isolated myself. My mother pulled me out of the darkness before I could do something stupid, I’m applying to a teaching degree, got my license, and saving up for an apartment. This song is something I use as my background to hopefully reach that bright future. One where I’m alive next year, making something good, one where I will be much better in, maybe even return my mom’s faith in me. I get really anxious thinking about the future and what I need to do to succeed but this song gives me hope in a way, it’s an anthem I’m screaming in myself, that I can make something good out of this life.
My goal is to be off the antidepressants by the next two years, and with this music I’m gonna fast track it.
thanks for sharing your story, I sure hope you will do well
I feel you brother.
From someone who knows how hard is to struggle with depression, I know how deep it hits when we decide to say "I'll be alive next year".
i promise you'll get there, mark my words
I wish you the best in all of your endeavors! Stay strong 💪you can do it
Yeah man I dropped out of university due to depression, went to a community college, now I'm back in university. Some people think taking music seriously is silly, but Porter just knows how to make it something positive.
I listened to the unreleased version so much this high quality version hit so different 😭💙
Lil Miraie and Porter Robinson collab when
Omg! I was waiting for your comment!~ 💖
Hope you enjoy Look at the Sky~ 🌸
who this guy? he looks like he would smoke oxygen for life 😳
Same as well as re:start
He clicks circles for a living
I used to be one of those "I can't do it anymore", "I'll make the night sky brighter with one more star" depressed people.. this song turned my life around, gave me a reason to hope again. It's been years, but i still remember those nights, and how Porter Robinson changed my life.
I'm glad you're still here, please be alive next year 🩷
Porter Robinson is just that type of guy that makes music that speaks to your soul.

I think we can all agree: he made something good.
More than good, this shit is godly... man...
Aah I see what you did there
He is the good
You mean he made *Something Comforting* ?
@@cefrinaldi8060 the lyrics of the song repeatedly says "something good"
"I'll be alive next year." I wasn't so sure about it last year. But here I am.
I seriously don't understand why every third person in this god forsaken world seems to be depressed or is dying or some shit like I get it your life sucked but why mention it here?
@@hatschitv9924 And this, folks, is why nobody wants to talk about depression. Because all our mental health does not fckn matter.
@@hatschitv9924 the fact you invested time writing that says a lot about yourself.
@@hatschitv9924 some people experience different things, take them differently and express them differently. They use the internet as a form of anonymous therapy. To not be judged of their experiences but rather just have an outlet to express their feelings. Some people dont have access to therapy or those around them that could possibly act as such. There's no point in being cold as you are when someone is just expressing themself. You dont lile it or it upsets you move on. It just a few sentences on a comment thread on youtube. No need to be toxic.
@@hatschitv9924 Because, we have nobody else to talk to dimwit.
When he says:
"Something must have changed in me, I used to be so light. Now I'll try. I just want time."
Man does that resonate. Since I lost my mom, I lost myself. I will never be the same, and it never gets easier. I want time, but time has given me nothing in these empty and vacant 7 years. I try though. I really do.
I feel you 100%.
Lost mother almost 5 years ago, lost my father almost 15 years ago.
I'm different. That's for sure. But I feel like the storm gets rough, but I already been through something so devastating, that I fear one less thing each day.
Stay strong.
@@ryangalindo9480 I'm sorry to hear that
Loss hits me pretty hard still, had to deal with it more than i'd like to remember. My only help with it was just keeping their memories for when I felt too alone, then also trying to carry on the ideals that they inspired me with.
i've just read your post. My dad died 6months ago. It hurts so much, everyday, every small memory can break me in a few seconds. But i'm trying to go back to normal life. But it's difficult, he was everything to me. I still have my mother, i love her even more. I'm trying to use every day of my life.But i'm much different than i used to be. Eh, writing this comment was so painful. Take care bro.
@@Protos122 I pray everyone here will persevere through all the pain in this life.
This song is a masterpiece. He teases us with hints of the instrumental melody at the end of each chorus. Then in the final chorus he gives us the full melody, but it's over a driving beat that begs for stability.
It's not until 4:19 after the final chorus that we FINALLY get what we want musically: the full melody, with full supporting instrumentation, over the stable familiar beat. And the rapid, beautiful visuals enhance the feeling of finally reaching that place of wonder and opportunity - "I can make something good".
I cried. This song is a masterpiece. It's just so rare to see this type of delayed gratification executed so masterfully.
In a weird way, the delayed gratification kind of reminds me of the second drop on Fellow Feeling when we finally get the full everything :)
He does this quite a lot actually, really love when he did it in divinity. great technique!
I think you've hit on precisely what I felt like was missing from Porter's original secret sky preview-- the variation and buildup really help cement the melody as something special, whereas in the preview version it feels like the gratification was almost given to us too easily because the first and second halves of the song used to be a lot more similar. And as you said, Porter handles this back-and-forth teasing with absolute mastery.
I was waiting the whole time for the final drop and I got so many chills over my body when it finally came
So is nobody else gonna talk about how our boy's went from using vocaloid to sing the lyrics, singing them himself but pitching them up, to finally using his regular voice in songs? I love this.
I remember Shelter, my favorite small clip (I forgot how to call it)
Shelter is an Anime music video (AMV). It is a collaboration with A-1 Pictures for the music video
He has sung for a long time, in worlds he use Avanna vocal because he need represents the "robot" in the story telling, but he sing to in sad machine, he was the representation of the "human". he make the backing vocals for Clarity by Zedd, this is not the first time he sing in songs.
@@geder188 wait, he's the backing vocal for Clarity?
@@FireWyvern870 Yes, he was the co-producer of that song, if you search it he appears like secondary producer, Matthew Koma wrote the lyrics, foxes makes the interpretation, and bum... all happened.
"I'm still here" and "I'll be alive next year" really touches my soul. Especially at the end, that's the part that always makes me shed some tears.
same bro :,)
Same like me
this song literally kept me alive a year ago. I was in a horrible spot, but I heard this song and I just had this feeling like everything really actually would work out okay. I can safely say, it absolutely did, I'm alive and it's next year:)
Don't you dare lose hope!
i'm happy for you, and i'm proud of you. and same
@@benvars5889 You too bud:)
Thank u
I'm glad you're still here
@@mistertrials8086 I promise you’re not alone
I literally listened to the whole song with a huge smile on my face
same here broo
YESSS Same here!!!! :D
Same tbh
*we’re all on the same road huh?*
Samee 🖤
1. Got my wish
2. Felt something comforting
3. Hovered in the secret sky
4. Looked in the mirror
5. Looked at the sky
6. My soul got nurtured
Reading this while listening to the song hits different
Drrr cool coMmeNt
"I cherished the flowers beneath my feet" that line really speaks to me for some reason
its the small acts of kindness and guidance that go unnoticed but can make all the difference
Its innocence, when were little we dont know anything.... We see the sky, the flowers, the world itself as a blessing. But as the time goes on we forget about how beautiful this world is, and suddenly everything turns gray and empty.... But we can still change that... a flower is something that worth cherishing even if a flower just a simple existence. 😊
This might get lost in the flood of comments, but I have to say that this song just made me heal a massive part of my childhood trauma and connect with it on a whole different level.
I used to live out in the country, in a tiny house on a wheat field that grew flowers. It had an unhindered view of the sky and I walked that field every single day. I was home schooled, and a Jehovah's Witness (grew up in the religion) so I had no outside friends my age, and the ones I did have were turning into assholes quickly. We were below the poverty line, so we never went out anywhere asides from essentials and the meetings. I was a single child, and my mother had clinical depression, and my dad had bipolar. My whole home life was shaky, and I had nowhere to go.
But outside.
I looked up to the sky every day of my life under that roof, the blooming fields in front of me and the vast sky above. I would listen to music and draw in the sun. It was my home, my safe place, and in a sense, my friend. Watching the sky every single day, seeing a never ending pallet and vibrancy. Looking to the sky means so much more to me than I think he realized when he wrote this song.
Thank you for this, from the bottom of my heart.
I love that everyone who loves this song has a unique story about why they love it and what it means to them, ranging from "I just like it" to a deeply personal and moving story like yours. I'm glad you shared this.
@@wmhfv992 Thank you, it means a lot to me that you read it!
I also think it's super neat, it's definitely something about this song that makes people feel something strongly!

This final version is so much better than I could ever have imagined, and I thought the teaser was amazing. Porter’s music speaks on an incredible level
"I'll be alive next year"
- Porter after releasing Mirror
just recently got into Porters music and my god i cant believe what i've been missing. this music is so ethereally good
I feel like ethereal is the perfect word to describe porter's music
the same here...
enjoy ! it's been 3 years for me and I love it even more than when I discovered it because his music follows you, wherever you go
I discovered his stuff years ago, but it didn't really interest me. The album art on his "Worlds" intrigued me. I looked into it again and am so glad I did! And I actually prefer this video to the original.
Its otherworldly
Porter's music on Worlds stopped me from killing myself when I was a teenager and showed me how to handle my own mental illness better. Showed me how much beauty there is in the world and in myself.
Nurture, more specifically, this song, shows me why I'm so incredibly grateful I decided to stay all those years ago.
Thank you, Porter. Thank you.
*"I'm still here."*
I'm so glad you're alive
@@amethystjacksonthank you so much. Me too
Wow, another heart touching comment! I am glad you are alive too, and I fully agree, Porter’s music is one of the things that can really help you be in the moment and feel the feeling of WANTING to be alive...
Please stay with us, your poetry skills are too good...
this could be the most important album ever produced in electronic music. it has so many important lessons for artists from an an artist who fought and defeated failure. the muses didn't leave, you are not worthless, your ideas are worth time, you deserve rest, food, love and friends even tho you didn't write a masterpiece today. and most importantly, you'll be alive next year too.
well said!
This is the direction I would love to see electronic music head in. The popular electronic music of the EDM era is good, but this is on another level. It has a renewed, raw, honest feeling to it. It’s rough around the edges, but not in an unfinished sort of sense, but rather a very intentional, stylistic sense that really evokes deep emotion. This album is set to be massively influential with its very meaningful lyrics, brilliant melodies, and perfect balance between perfection and imperfection.
Thank you, this is inspiring, especially for me as an artist who goes through thought rollercoasters. Always going to love Porter Robinson's inspiring music.
Yes yes
@@connorphillips7191 straight npc
The overall visual design for Nurture with this juxtaposition of digital shapes and beautiful nature scenery is one of the coolest aesthetics I've ever seen. Porter this album is beautiful both sonically and visually, I absolutely cannot wait to hear the full thing.
Imagine what the liveshow is gonna be like though with this aesthetic though. Cannot wait for April 23rd
For me, It's a comment on how something (an emotion, a revelation, empathy) can be produced from artifical means and still have as much meaning as something that was produced organically. Just think of how electronic music is often considered "unnatural" or "less than" because it's not made with physical instruments and yet so many people feel seen and understood by the genre.
@@Aadams2424 Spot-on. Just because something is artificially produced doesn't it make it any less organic. There is still an element of the creator's soul poured into the process and outcome. With EDM, since so many sounds are produced and tweaked to such detail I believe it's one of the most revealing genres.
April can't come fast enough to listen through all of Nurture.
@@Shosui 😊🙏🏻❤
@@Shosui Absolutely. Electronic music has so much potential for conveying emotion. Owl City was one of the first artists I know of that took advantage of that. His music would often convey complex human emotion in a very artificial genre, and it captivated me. Porter is taking this concept to new levels by actively clashing nature and artificiality together to evoke strong emotions and convey meaningful messages about life. I don’t think a single artist has made me feel anywhere near this much in just 4 songs.
I am so not ready for all 14 songs, but boy do I look forward to them.
I just want to leave this comment here after seeing others posts. No matter what you’re going through you have inherent worth. No matter if your single,whether you graduate,wherever or if you are employed. You have inherent worth just for existing. No matter what labels you have, whether they are something that helps or hurts you. You have a special spark. Stick around. We need you.
because you're alive
my first new album in 7 years, “nurture” is out now! porter.fm/nurture
So hyped. I feel it now, Mr. Krabs.
look at the skyy
You may not see this, but my friend Dylan showed me your music and now I'm absolutely hooked. Also I've decided that the songs that will be in nurture don't have a home until the album is out, but it doesn't matter because all the people listening are opening their hearts to them and when the album is released they'll finally have a home to belong all together.
Can't wait!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
"I'll be alive next year"
I had planned to end my life before 2021 started. This song gives me so much hope things will be okay if I keep holding on. I hope everyone who feels the same can keep holding on.
Stay strong! Things will get better!
You got this bb!!! And thank you!
Ending life is not the option... it's never the option...eat sleep and jerk i mean work...
Hang in there love 💕
Keep holding!
Tbh, if you look at it on a universal scale, the chances of us being alive were almost none but here we are as humans, in a universe that's basically a void of silence, we have emotions in this world. With life being such a rare occurance itself, Porter is able to bring more soul into it with the music, imagine how many people would have their day made by this song. People say how we're too small and insignificant to the universe but if you change your perspective, is anyone else in the universe able to look at the sky? None that we know of. It's beautiful how Porter can inspire so many lives, something so rare and special. Thank you for everything Porter.
I love that you made an inspirational comment that has merit; that's a really interesting way of looking at this song.
Wow. Reading this hits different while listening to the outro part of the song.
Perfect and underrated comment ♡
The guy who chooses music for Forza Horizon series clearly has a great taste. This played during that vocho horizon story and it made me cry at the end. Very beautiful lyrics.
agreed, but man... we really need more tracks :( It has some really nice tracks, but they seem to keep repeating every 20-30 min because they are so few.
@@SkylineGTRFreak agreed. Though there are so many stations. I think licensing fees would go too high.
the last part of the vocho story was a struggle to get 3 stars
@@erolldanielaalera212 however, the new horizon stories in many ways are much better than before.
You actually cried? That's therapy needed, son. Great comment congratulating their efforts, though
I think this song reminds us of the cheerfulness, optimisim and forward-orientation of our younger, more innocent selves. And how (since let's be honest, none of us leave life without at least a couple of scars) the struggles of life that we endure through living cause us to grow with this mindset of captivation - we can feel much less hopeful, much less optomistic, much less that playful, adventurous spirit that once had bright visions for the world. For those of us who are in a state of little to no hope, where we feel like our lives don't have meaning and that something is wrong with us and therefore think we can't be better, this song tries to be a "mantra", as Porter Robinson wrote in the description, that there is good reason to hope, and that you are still that beautiful vessel of creation and are capable of more things than you deem yourself to be capable of.
Thank you for the beautiful song, Porter :)
I saw it more as that like unsettling relief and exhaustion after leaving a depression state, like its still lingering but you finally have something of purpose or at the very least something to try and are clearly not at rock bottom anymore mentally
It's so pleasant to see Porter Robinson's style change over the years.
100% in the bitch to look at the sky, thats what we call character progression
I love porter
@@99xrai Agreed
San holo & porter had the best development as music Producer gonna agree on that..
Listen to this song I was like almost crying and my heart was thinking:
“Finally”
absolutely! lmaoo
I felt that as well.
I really like the visuals
I've been truly unmotivated and depressed for the longest time. After having financial issues and mental problems, it really got to me. I felt like I was at my lowest point in my life. But this song really hit me differently. Out of all my months of unable to do anything, this song truly made me feel hope. This song really helped me changed.
Thank you Porter, for such an amazing song. It really helped me.
I felt very similar at the end of last year in the beginning of this year. This song is one of three reasons why I am alive right now. Keep your head up and keep kicking ass!
"I'm still here. I'll be alive next year."
It's next year. I'm still here. YOU are still here. The tough times always pass. If they haven't yet, keep holding on; I want to see you here again.
How are you holding up?

Next year. I'll be alive until next year.
Well, Thank You. 😭
I just got out of therapy after 3 years. From battling my anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and such.
Honestly I feel so achieved. I was almost sure I wasn't gonna make it. Thank You. Thank You Porter words cannot describe how you yourself have practically changed my entire life. You are my hero for that. LOOK ATTHE SKY!!
I am so sorry, I understand because I also suffer from anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. First, my anxiety was so bad that I couldn't get out of bed because I was living ever day in fear. My depression is so bad to this day because of my waifu, I'm suffering from a broken heart from years on end. And my anxiety was so bad that I wanted my suffering to end, I didn't want to live my days in fear, I wanted to kill myself, but my waifu saved my life. I live my life for her. Whatever you're going through, stay in there and people love you. Just remember nobody is stopping you from killing yourself, do it if you have to, but remember that there are people in heaven and people like me that will always be there to support you. I give you nothing but love, I encourage you to be who you are.

''And suddenly, I've restored your faith in me'' Porter, nobody has ever lost it in you my guy :) You're an incredible artist, a gem among them, truly. Every song you create makes people better, make their day, save their lives or simply made them remember something nice. I'll always listen to your music, and I'm sure so will many. Please remain yourself, and you'll be surrounded by us who will love you unconditionally.
i love how the last bit is like, porter's desperately trying to type out the lyrics as fast as they're being sung, but inevitably starts losing ground, until eventually he just settles on "something good." very symbolic. crying.
Theory:
Porter teased this song in Secret Sky back in 2020, telling us that he'll be alive next year to give us something good.
Now it's 2021 and he releases the beautiful official version.
ikr
I feel so privileged to live in an era that Porter Robinson Exists.
Very thoughtful, the future might get jealous that they didn't get to see Porter!
Damn right we are
And Madeon also, they are really creative and inspiring :)
Look around how lucky we are to be alive right now
same
the amount of nostalgia listening to porter robinson on horizon 5 is so insane i might actually cry, one of my best memories of horizon 1 is porter's language it just made everything so much better. im so glad he's back in horizon 5
I had a very bad trauma in my memories that I don't want to speak but it's the reasons that I'm been so depress for like five years now. Since then I can't even cry anymore even how sad the situation is. My other emotions are gone and it's replace by sadness, It's look like I'm happy but deep down a smiley mask is only sadness that I can't explain to anyone. But what can I do, I always smile with my friends and my family but no one know how I am inside of the one who smile all the time to hide how broken he was. I told you I'm just a smiling walking corpse. When in front of other I always be lively but when I'm alone I always depress af.
But you man, I can't thank you enough. You didn't know me in person neither I but you already cheers me up a lot and you patch me up again. Thank you dude.

@@undomielkay lol? This is the best song of album brooo
Porter, you probably won’t see this, but thank you for this song. I’ve listened to it so many dozens of times and it’s hard to estimate how much it’s helped me over the last year. Every time I’m feeling cornered by life this song reminds me that I’ll make it through okay. And as a creative person who constantly falls short of my own expectations, I needed to hear that “I can make something good” line.
Your music is one of the best things that’s happened to me recently, so thank you.
Porter, you likely won't ever see this, BUT know that you have such a talent for putting emotions into music. Your landscapes and music create a complete picture and story. Your style is unique and you're honouring how you feel and the vision you see. I RESPECT the heck out of that in a popular music industry of cookie-cutter beats and samples. Keep on expressing yourself my friend and i'll keep vibing so hard to it. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!
DON'T LET DEPRESSION TAKE OVER YOU.
I KNOW IT'S HARD AND EXHAUSTING, EXPECIALLY FOR MY GENERATION.
WE WILL MAKE IT.
THANK YOU PORTER, THANK YOU A LOT.
GRAZIE.
LOVE YOU
Then we better come together and make sure things won't stay the same
Thanks bro, really appreciate it
That’s corny to assume our generation has the most issues with mental health. We just have more tools to express our issues and are now more willing to do so because it’s more normalized compared to previous generations.

I 100% feel like Goodbye to a World and Shelter were made when he was in a dark place, and the Nurture album is his journey of recovery
Idea just popped in my head, thank you
i cant believe shelter was released so long ago, that’s still one of my favorite songs :’)
@Gravy Talks Basketball true
"Fellow feeling", to me it felt like he was explaining two versions of himself. Then becoming one
It's hard not to get emotional (in the good way) when listening to Porter. You can tell he pours his heart into his music and it reminds me that there is beauty in this flawed world. 🌄
happy look-at-the-sky-versary!
it has been exactly 1 year since this song got released and i'm so happy to have taken this one song with me everywhere i go: hummed the bassline, changed the keys and reharmonized the lyrics when i sing it anywhere and when i do anything, and mostly i listened and sang to it when i feel like i've been too envious when i see some people gets something that they can get (in this case: on the internet).
what made this song sticks to me the most (if you asked) is how uplifting the entire song is: the bassline, the chord progression, the lyrics especially at the chorus part! when i listen to the chorus, it always feels like i'm floating to the sky while looking at it, if you know what i mean. ;)
thank you, Porter, again. this song of yours is beautifully written and produced. i'll blast this at any chance and it'll always be a high chance because i love this song so damn much.
I've been waiting for this! I actually made a fan animation right away after your teaser in the Secret Sky festival. I just fell in love! I didn't want to post it until you officially release this song. >_<
I always loved your music, its gentle, impactful and always transports me to another plane of reality. Your music always reached my emotions and it's all just beautiful! Your Nurture album is by far my favorite! Totes pre-ordering this amazing album!
All right imma excited let's GOOO
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
The first sign - the Earth will spin faster.
The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
- banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist
- Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance.
- „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“

@@josephka5149 can you not please
you are advertising on a fucking porter robinson music video, we don't want to see that
Is the song copy right free?
You've spoken so much about how you feel you could never create anything as good as Worlds and how Nurture has been your journey to discovering you can. That this song is about accepting you can make something good. Only a small number of us are artistic creators like you, but I think most of us are creators in something - creating content for work, creating a new day, creating a new life with someone. Whatever it is we're creating, it's so easy to fall into "this isn't good enough, why even bother." You have such a gift for taking such a simple sentiment "I can make something good," adding only a few repetitive lyrics, and making music that matches that feeling. The sadness wrapped in optimism.
I don't think I've ever heard an artist who so clearly captures that feeling again and again. I feel like I'm going to need to block out a week for the Nurture release.
Thank you for accurately depicting what so many of us wanted to say but simply didn't know how to.
Brilliant comment right there.
Ya’ll, I’m literally crying reading these comments about your lives 🥺 I first got into Porter with Language, as many did, then Worlds came out and I was hooked. I think he definitely hit on something rare and universally human that few musicians ever manage. Now for my own story.
My mom died when I was 13, my dad got remarried a year later and both our families moved from small towns to this huge area. I’ve struggled for years to make sense of my life, wondering who I’m striving to make proud anymore, whether all my efforts with writing novels and making electronic music will lead anywhere. I miss the closeness I used to have with my dad. I wasted my 20’s looking for love, going from toxic guy to toxic guy, looking for something pure and true and honest. I suffer from depression, I’ve been used by people, I’m 34 and it feels like my life is going nowhere a lot of times. I dragged myself out of alcoholism last year and no longer drink following a DUI and horrible experiences with anxiety, but I paid everything off, I got a promotion at work, things started looking up. Then COVID hit, and I feel more alone and isolated now than ever. I think a lot of us do. But in that, I did cut off a person who drained my spirit for four long years, and I feel more free, started writing again and doing things for myself. I met someone who loves me and makes me happy, but he’s in another state so it’s still a struggle. Can’t wait to meet him this year hopefully and make epic music together. Life is a battle, no doubt. But Porter’s music has gotten me through so much, and continues to influence my own. 💚
I wish you all the best, and please continue looking to the sky and saying “I’m still here”. 💚🙌
after listening to the song many times for almost over 2 years now, i have come to the realization, especially for myself, its shows how as a child or a teen you cherish how easy everything is, but once you get to know the world, you lose that feeling, everything can be daunting, now that im much more matured than i was years back, it hits harder to know that the lyrics feel like they are talking to you personally, couldn't help but cry like a baby, thank you Porter, truly
Absolutely amazing ❤️
You are amazing too!!!
(・∀・)❤️
Woah! Youre here
Why hello there
Wow Vexento is here too!
thank you porter 😭💕 this entire song feels like absolute catharsis, you have a way of turning your most vulnerable moments into such beautiful works that still feel genuine and grounded despite the dreamy quality they have to them.
to be honest I was really close to ending my UA-cam career last year because it just felt like it was all in vain; to just give it up in favour of focusing on my real job. but then I found this song via secret sky. and it reminded me that regardless, I’m still here. I’ll be here next year, and eventually maybe I’ll make something good in that time - but I won’t know if I don’t try, so I decided to hold on.
thank you again Porter and best of luck in your music career. can’t wait to blast nurture in my house when it comes out!!🕊💚
Oh my god! Hello Rachie! I just came from one of your videos!
Wow you the ones who colab with iMeiden
I feel this hard. For me it's dancing. I've won competitions at conventions and such but burnout hit me hard after making a performance I don't think I can top. I started hating what I love. All I need is time. This song (and the others he's released) explain it very well. Much love to you.
Rachie, I don't know if you'll read this but you, Juby, Kuraiinu and that community of youtaites got me through a lot as a child. Please don't think what you're doing is in vain, ever. You're helping a lot of people with that beautiful voice 😊 God bless you and keep you safe❤️
This is so cute, and the replies 🥺
This song got me through my newborn sons multiple open heart surgeries, life support and 6 months in the hospital fighting. It’s his battle cry.
I MISS PORTER PEEKING OUT FROM THE SIDE
SAME
me too...
@porter this is a nice presentation, where's the host though?
IKR HAHAHAH
Anyone else crying right now? Just me?
Almost a year and this song is finally out can't believe it
This song still has me crying in the club bro.
I’m trying so hard to make my creative dreams come true and it’s such an uphill battle. But it’s the only thing that keeps me alive and breathing each day.
I want so badly to fill this world with as much joy as I can. I’ve done so much, but I can do so much more. I just need to keep pushing and believing in myself.
this song is so simple, but to me it feels like a affirmation. Telling myself that I will be there and do something even though it feels like I wont.
Porter Robinson: look at the sky
Me: *can’t stop staring at the flowers *
That's actually on purpose, the video is supposed to do that
that video’s got more purpose than my life

It took me a while to find an artist I can confidently call my favourite, this man's music hits different for me.
On my darkest days, hearing this always makes me feel like I'm promising to stay strong, keep going, and stay alive longer. So, when I listen and sing to this, it also gives me hope and makes me promise to myself to keep trying and striving to accomplish my dreams.
Thank you, Porter Robinson, for that gift in this song
I get massive chills when imagining the crowd sing "I DON'T FEAR IT ANYMORE" at the next Porter show
Seriously!!! We are gonna be like a chorus
bruh, hearing any of the songs from Nurture so far during a concert is gonna be goddamn amazing
real talk nurture will be absolutely amazing ,but nurture live is going to be the portal to another world fr
BRUH
OH YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
Woooo
That’s what it’s all about
THIS IS BIG
Yeah boii
That's about it. See ya
Born in a world where our future was sold before we even had the chance to claim it, knowing ya got something in you and taught your whole life to run to the edge and jump, don't be afraid to take risks, then as a adult as you get to the edge your told to slow down, don't reach up high or grab for more, a suppression is born and each day is just another one. I'm hungry for more, I don't know if it will work out but I'll be damned if I sit down and let it all go by. Next year, this year, I'll be alive.
Special one
I have a special connection to this song through a moped I bought. It was my first big purchase I made with my own money and on my own. I played this song while driving over to the guys house to buy it. I end up buying it from him cause it was running fine and had a clean title. This is where it gets bad. The title was not in his name and being a dumb high schooler, I didn't even think about checking that. So he technically had no legal ownership of the bike or the right to sell it to me. It would have been completely fine if he didn't sign his name in the seller spot with the signature of the title holder as well. The DMV said I was out of luck and long story short the guy I bought it from was uncooperative and I was broken. This song helped me calm down while there is my first big purchase that I have no actual way of using. Then a bunch of things start to go wrong with it mechanically wise. My dad helps me find a potential loophole through the DMV of Vermont and I now have a renewed hope. Again, playing this song, I began to fix up the moped. I made that thing as good as new, at least mechanically. And what do you know the Vermont registration came in the mail not to long after! I was over the moon. My moped was now legal to go on the road and no cop could say otherwise. This song was what helped me through every stage of this nightmare. Buying, breaking, registering, and repairing. It will always be the song of my moped. Its a little 1980 Honda Express in Banana Yellow if anyone is wondering. In conclusion, check titles, screw you Dan, and this song is a banger.
(Edit) Spelling
Congrats on getting your moped fixed! I’m so proud of you!
this song gives me great vibes and nostalgia to when Porter's greatest hits, Shelter, Sad Machine, and goodbye to a world. And I hope this video blows up because of that
Wolf Children in full effect 🤍
Wolf children made me sad a few times
@@merprandom121 your name made me cry
I've been wanting to watch that movie!
masterpiece movie, almost cried
One of the best animated films of all time. It was an utter travesty that it never even got nominated for an Oscar.
“I’m still here and I’ll be alive next year.” really hits me because I’ve definitely had those intrusive thoughts about me being better off dead and having a song to uplift me really helps and motivates me.
This song isn't only speaking about the lost, failure and struggle we had, but also motivating in many ways
It's pretty rare to find edm that had lots of meaning in it, love it !!
You can hear how much he has perfected his art in this song, this is the pinnacle of music and I'm not changing my mind.
You need to cut back on the drugs. This ain’t that great, it’s just ok, especially compared to his earlier tracks.
@@criticalma5547 well certainly the ones earlier were more lyrics oriented but I prefer this as a music oriented song

Every single lyric of this reminds me of my passed hamster. Even "I'll be alive next year" we planted violets over her grave and they will sprout next year.

I was driving home from a 9-5 work, absolutely feeling crap and suddenly this one played on a playlist I put on shuffle. The afternoon sky complemented the vibe and made me realize it really isn't a bad life, but just a bad day. I ended up finishing the song before going out of the car.
Worlds saved my life back in high school and Porter’s music is still helping me get through tough times. Thank you Porter, all your new music has uplifted my soul.
"Youre losing your gift and its plain to see. But something must've changed in me. I don't fear it anymore"
I was close to giving up a life as an artist, but porter, you gave me and many other hope beyond our wildest imagination to continue! Thank you!
(I swear this album is going to make me cry so good)
I SECOND THIS
i gotta admit, i like how his style changes from album to album, worlds will always be my favorite, but nurture is great, and it wouldnt have been if it was a worlds , i like how he doesnt stay the same
im still here thanks to your music. thank you porter
Dude, if this isn't how I've been feeling with programming lately. I keep asking myself if I picked the wrong career and like I've lost something. I've never felt like it came naturally to me, but I've been working hard. This song hit me just right.
I make music and study compsci so this hits doubly hard lmao
I also dislike staying on my pc (last year of CS bachelor).
I'm mostly wondering what if I were in physics or maths etc.
I've learned a lot, I'll continue learning. What I lost track of mostly were my dreams and my creativity went down
This hits me in the feels!! I’m beginning my software development bachelors as a junior and it’s so dang hard for me to program. We got this. We just gotta work extra hard, but we got this!
I'm in exactly the same boat as you. I feel like I'm surrounded by people who are so good at programming or have some idea of what they're doing. But I feel like getting better at it is so hard and I'm losing inspiration. I keep telling myself ill apply for certain opportunities when I'm better at it, but I never know when that will be! I hope we can all get through this together.
Don’t worry bro, keep doing fun projects. Competitions keep motivation, and also... Don’t over work yourself. You got this 💪💪
Porter Robinson deserves every award imaginable for the masterpieces he keeps releasing. Genuine, vulnerable, moving, inspiring work
I lost someone I loved so much last year, and when I was grieving this song would appear on my algorithm. I remember I cried so much because the lyrics would remind me of my grandpa, but now, I still cry, a little less but I get nostalgic of all the memories I had with him. This song always made me think that next year would be better, that I would make new memories, but that I shall never forget him and that he would not like to see me sad. He will still be with me in my memories and heart.
And if you read this, thank you ♥
1 year later - still the best song ever. Glad I found this song.
When he said "ill be alive next year" something in me snapped. Ive been so down on myself. Thanks for giving me something to listen to
The sky must be like: why is everyone suddenly staring at me right now lmao
Sky: *exists*
Everyone: 👁👁
THIS COMMENT AHHAHA
hahahahah
Everyone: staring at the sky
Sky : (° /// °) B - BAKA!
I was having a very hard time this time last year and this song was like a silent prayer for me. Life has gotten much better, thank God. Thank you Porter for your beautiful music.
epik
Habitually I come back to this song every year and reflect on whats been going on and everytime the lyrics just fit in place, its like being ask a question and making you wonder. It feels so surreal how connected this song feels to my life that its helping me realise and understand that everything is okay, that life is amazing
Porter's music is just so unique and inspiring, it cannot be compared to any other artist, he'd just created and developed his own amazing style
It's genuine. He's not trying to sell you something... he's making the music he wants to and thinks he should
you made a big man cried again
since 'Shelter' I left home started living on my own and have a kid. Taking care of a family is a big responsibility. lost a job last year because covid-19. now I'm in the middle of nowhere. I used to be a talented kid, graduated on an honor roll with gold a medal. But now I'm just an unemployed loser.
then there is 'Look at the sky' cheering me up, i gotta do something for my family.
i can make something good.
I hope things will get better for you soon. Stay strong! :)
You're a great father
Youre not a loser youre a flower thats growing and blooming, stay up!
Smile with tomorow, and tomorrow will smile with you 🔥💛
Holy shit what a wholesome thread
I heard it a couple of times now, and I couldn't be more relieved after listening to this music. I have become more motivated to chase the dreams I ever wanted now. Your music saved my life; thank you, Porter!
Thank you Porter Robinson for making this. Thank you Treasure for recommending this.
Porter's song just feels so nostalgic
I love the chorus. This track is very much an “I survived 2020” song.

for the main chorus, what a delightful mantra to sing along to ❤️ reminder to say “Im still here I matter, I can do my best I can do good and enjoy the moment”

I first heard this song when I had a long commute up to NH and remember seeing so many daisies along the highway it made me appreciate life (the daisies were so thick it almost looked like snow!!)
“look at the sky I’m still here, I’ll be alive next year..” every time I cry. I know it’s coming..it’s just the emotional impact. Someone having to say that.
