This is still one of my favorite songs of all time. It complements each season, all weather, and every emotion. This song has seen me through a lot in the past 3 years. Thanks George.

My bro Watsky deserves so much more than the entertainment industry will ever allow him. Bro stands for what he stands for, and has a flow you can't groom. Loved him since 2016. Haven't ever stopped being strong like an OAK, and hearing the sad sound of a guitar string snapping. ❤
SeedlessPro everyone please stop wishing for eminem to get back on drugs. the man cleaned up his life for himself and for his family and its really sick that you would wish something so bad on the guy. this video was made years ago and he's in a different place in his life right now.....he's 42 for christ sake!!! he grew up and so should you....damn
As a medium this song makes makes me smile so much, I honestly don't doubt that you (George) are also a . medium feeling what spirits are feeling Thank you for letting me to feel like I'm not alone in my experiences
Why is everyone getting defensive? Yes this is a poem, and yes this is a song, and yes we're all going to die, and no, nobody knows what's going to happen afterwards. What is there to argue about? Just scroll up and watch/listen to the genius.
Watsky's work came into my life at a time when I wanted to take my own life, it entered the stage and always helps to brighten things up for me. Your one of the best.
Absolutely wonderful. Wonderful lyrics, great delivery, the singer managed to express as well as sing the words, and the drawings were incredible. The video was well done too... I guess talent attracts talent.
I love the artwork and the way it's got more of a poetic vibe but the chorus is sang I love the combination of the poetry singing and drawing and the artwork it creates all put together
I don't know what's drawing me to you right now, but I think I'm gonna listen to all your music in the next couple days. I think I've grown a lot in the last years and I need to reconnect with the stuff I used to love. Hopin you come out with 'Intention' soon, but, more importantly, I hope you're doing well
I think watsky is a talented artist and I applaud him for being unconventional. If given the opportunity I would love to sit down with him and find what makes him tick, what compels him to pen lyrics. I do have to say though, his ambiguous thoughts for a track like this are loose and a jumbled mess at best. I do think he is a better artist when he raps fast ( a phenomenal one at that, much better than I) but I think there is a lot of development he could experience if he really analyzed his lyrics and tried to have his words coincide with the emotion of the chorus. It didn't match up to me, but I will say that suicide line about cowards are the only ones brave enough to do was pure genius. The rest was forgettable. Keep up the hard work man and hats off to Mieka Pauley for the awesome chorus and the artist. From one creative writer with similar ambitions to another, I hope to hear more from you watsky
Love it when my favorite artists come together. Weird how you guys live on the opposite coast but I'm driving around pumping watsky on my stereo, get home and catch some ERB, laughing to Monday shows and wishing I could buy every one of mary's definitive doodles, and you guys are all hanging out over there making more awesome stuff.
Watsky, never change. For fuck sake please never change your ways of making music, it is possibly the most original shit I have ever heard. I didn't know that music this down to earth could come out at clear as it does. There's no beating around the bush in this music and honestly that's exactly how it should be. I'll always be a fan as long as the music stays true. Good work man
I just remembered that this is the clip that made me know both Watsky and Mary Doodles. I still love them both more than 10 years later, their work is incredible.
God damn Watsky you just keep getting better and better. This is why I share everyone one of your videos with everyone one I know. Because if they don't like you, I don't like them.
I love watsky have for years and have never heard this till I threw on a wounded healer playlist as I'm losing it from my little brother passing about 5 years after my dad. Watsky, Ren, nf all have been help to get some stuff out... I love you all.
Some music you simply hear, some music pulls on your heart strings, gets your head banging and your fist pumping. Watsky's music? Watsky's music kicks your soul out of your body and into the world. Off to create more awesome in the world.
Dear Mr. Watsky, This song new how to pull all the the strings in my emotions. It really hit hard. I loved it. More like this please. You're the best. SIncerely, Your loyal fan.
George Watsky is just...he...hm. He always just, knows what to do to make himself better. That is, he knows that he just has to keep doing what he's been doing, and it'll get progressively more awesome.
The only chart and equation I see is the linear progression of how more awesome your art has gotten over the last year. Long time listener, here, rarely put in awe enough to comment. This song is powerful, man.
Every time i hear this song... the first not instantly calms me. if im pissed this song is helpful. if im happy this makes me dance. if im tired this relaxes me. George you have made magic in my life and i thankyou for that, I cant tel you how inspiring you are. you're my hero, role model, big brother i never had you know what i mean...... ~~Shelby
Today was the first time I listened to this song. Then, I checked out NicePeter's channel, which led me to JustDoArt. After watching that video, I decided to watch more Watsky, but I accidentally clicked an annotation. Which led me to Watsky. Awesome.
This song is beautiful. I can't believe how expertise Watsky has become. Seeing a poem that means so much, that has such feeling and yet has humor at the same time. Thank you sir. You've made me feel something astonishing.
@gwatsky Keep it up watsky, Me and many of your viewers will always be here to view the pieces of gold you seem to put out every time. I can't speak for everyone else, but I love an artist who has the ability and love of music to keep making it in the styles he so wishes, regardless of what others think. -One of your biggest fans
@gwatsky This is an amazing song! I listed it right away as one of my favorites, and that's kinda rare. The text is amazing, your two voices make a very good combination. Please just keep making music (or art), you're really good at it. Thank you!

Fun fact: I asked Watsky tonight at his poetry show what his favorite poem of his is and he said it was this one
Michaela Rubinfeld , you're a filthy liar
@@BobisKool why is it so difficult to believe that she asked Watsky a question at his show?
Same though
why isnt this on spotify tho
Ikr!!!!
ok so im not the only one
Likely licencing issues.
It's on bandcamp with a bunch more unlisted tracks!
Only see outside make it
This is still one of my favorite songs of all time. It complements each season, all weather, and every emotion. This song has seen me through a lot in the past 3 years. Thanks George.
"god's a bully, and he's making it rain dodgeballs"- George Watsky
God bless.
I recognized Mary Doodles the second her pen touched the paper. Her drawings are brilliant!
[Verse 1: Mieka]
Minding my own business
Knock at the door, who is it?
Be right there, one minute
Gotta get up and go get it
Got white hair, eyes all crazy
Now most madmen don't faze me
But these guys, I'll admit it, got me scared we're finished
Chorus
The scientists proved we're all gonna die
They got charts and equations, the how and the why
You did not invite em and neither did I
But they're here, drink up, we're all gonna die
Poetry section 1
Ghosts must always feel like they're visiting their old high school
They don't recognize any of these new kids
The halls, they twist the same, but there are all these odd new posters on the walls
When I'm trying to get to get bed
I start thinking about endings
And instead of simply counting trying to sleep
I'm counting down
I'm sacrificing sheep
At parties
I wander from room to room not sure what I'm looking for
I think I'm supposed to find another person here
When I smoke too much weed
And I get paranoid that every pair of eyes is glued to me
And maybe they are
And I'm not crazy
And the spirit of every bastard who ever had a drink in this place is back for old times' sake
Maybe there's a million of them
Having their own party beside us
And they're staring
Thinking, "Look at all those lonely, solid people
Pretending to check their cell phones
Grandma lived 99 years and never learned to drive
At the end of her life
She didn't know one person left in her own age
God's a bully and he makes it rain dodgeballs
You can stand off in the corner and you might last a little longer
But you'll never win that way
Verse 2: Mieka]
I go do my laundry
Those dogs are right behind me
Get lost in some party
Those creeps will always find me
Who are they? What is this?
I mind my own damn business
Always there to remind me all about their findings
The scientists proved we're all gonna die
They got charts and equations, the how and the why
You did not invite em and neither did I
But they're here, drink up, we're all gonna die
The scientists proved we're all gonna die
They got charts and equations, the how and the why
You did not invite em and neither did I
But they're here, drink up, we're all we're all gonna die
Poetry 2
You're telling me a little vodka could kill me?
How do you even know it's there?
It's so still you can see right through it
Well you can see through me too
Said the ghost
And I'm here
You know because you can feel me
And that makes sense
Because I'm too fucked up to be skeptical right now
You get drunk and start believing in things
Like that shapes and even better shapes
Like that a night with some stranger's gonna make you happy
The only people brave enough for suicide are the cowards
We're all looking out of the corner of our eyes
For where to go next
Like "this party sucks, there must be someplace better"
The ghosts, they know we're thinking like chumps. they know it's not important who we go home with tonight
Partly cause they can't generate friction, so they can't have sex
But mostly because party is right here
And it's the best party ever
I mean look bro, ben franklin is making out with marie curie
Fucking classic, Reagan's doing his falling out the window bit again
Casper can't even hold his liquor
It goes right through him
You never seen smoke rings until you've seen a Ghengis Khan hit the hookah
Chris Farley'll even let you use him as a vaporizer bag if you ask real nice
Our eyes are little projectors
Life's a drive-in movie theater and my grandma needs a ride
Thank you
i don t wanna go the way they say but i got to let it be my way
I have to come back every so often for a listen. 9 years ago already? Damn Watsky- it’s been a journey- thanks man
My bro Watsky deserves so much more than the entertainment industry will ever allow him. Bro stands for what he stands for, and has a flow you can't groom. Loved him since 2016. Haven't ever stopped being strong like an OAK, and hearing the sad sound of a guitar string snapping. ❤
4 years later and I still love it.
"The only people brave enough for suicide are the cowards."
-George Watsky, Ghost Party
This has always held close to me, but certainly more so lately with my mental health at complete rock bottom.
@@ITFNBiteBayKonyou got this my friend
Why doesn't this have more hits?
SeedlessPro everyone please stop wishing for eminem to get back on drugs. the man cleaned up his life for himself and for his family and its really sick that you would wish something so bad on the guy. this video was made years ago and he's in a different place in his life right now.....he's 42 for christ sake!!! he grew up and so should you....damn
WeAreDaydreamin wut xD
TheIndieGamesNL Thanx :-)
+SeedlessPro because people have shitty taste in music
people don't like rappers who don't sound like they're on drugs.
"you could stand off in the corner and you might last a little longer, but you'll never win that way." oh, beautiful
I got this on repeat for more than 4 hours, its my new favouite song. thanks Watsky
George Watsky, Mieka Pauley and Mary Doodles together...pure magic. Doing even one routine thing today will be near impossible.
"Life is like dodgeball. You can stand in the corner and last a little longer. But you'll never win that way."
That's my new motto.
It’s been 12 years since you said this. I hope that truly happened for you and continues to happen for you. Best wishes:)
This Is not a poem. This is not a song. This is a masterpiece
A sermon
:)
As a medium this song makes makes me smile so much, I honestly don't doubt that you (George) are also a . medium feeling what spirits are feeling
Thank you for letting me to feel like I'm not alone in my experiences
Why is everyone getting defensive? Yes this is a poem, and yes this is a song, and yes we're all going to die, and no, nobody knows what's going to happen afterwards. What is there to argue about? Just scroll up and watch/listen to the genius.
Watsky's work came into my life at a time when I wanted to take my own life, it entered the stage and always helps to brighten things up for me. Your one of the best.
he was planning the stick to your guns video at the beginning
Absolutely wonderful. Wonderful lyrics, great delivery, the singer managed to express as well as sing the words, and the drawings were incredible. The video was well done too...
I guess talent attracts talent.
Meanwhile, Zach Sherwin is using his Sharpie to write the letter C to change "Defeated" to "Defecated"
Watsky's music is a real moving force in my life. i feel afraid sometimes but when i listen, it all goes away.
I forgot how much i fucking LOVE this song.
Why is still at 500k? This is one of the best songs ever, so much flow, passion and good mood with some deep message. Cmon guys!
That must be a hell of a party... Marie Curie was married... no ones surprised by Ben Franklin though...
Yeah, but they were married "until death do us part."
wow, i am just blown away by the quality of this song and music video. thank you for making this.
I love the artwork and the way it's got more of a poetic vibe but the chorus is sang I love the combination of the poetry singing and drawing and the artwork it creates all put together

Whoever reads this I want you to know you are wonderful and you matter! You are appreciated. I believe in you.
Sanity Lanes same to you!!! Thank you. I needed this.
I'm not wonderful and I don't matter.
hmm hmm E d g y
Be like the guy above you ^
I have listened to this so many times since it came out. The album needs to come out now. Seriously, this will be your best album to date.
You guys made mary pay for her own drinks after she did all that art for you?
Your words are just amazing... and it inspires me.

shut the fuck up
ihategoo glepolicies I wish that I could meet him too!
poem first, music second, is the nature of this song
Everything was great. She's got a great voice. I just enjoyed the whole thing. Thank you Watsky.
i really like the singing in this song but when watsky talks over the music it kind of ruins it for me
Why?
***** because it ruins the whole vibe its annoying and doesn't sound good at all
Classic Bass I think the opposite, I like Watsky's bit but the womans voice ruins the "vibe"
***** well i think her voice is the song i love watsky but this is one song i could do without him if he rapped it would have been good
Classic Bass It was meant to be poetry in this song not rap its to serious of a topic to be rap.
I Cannot WAIT for February 1st!
Dude every line of watsky's is so great, he mixes his humor and his serious tones so well.
absolutley the best in a while! Looking forward to this CD!
Amazing editing, and love the drawings. Love your work Watsky.
Love it when my favorite artists come together.

deserves some internet video award. for direction, music, lyrics, poetry, art and that feeling it gave you in your midsection.
Absolutely breathtaking. A pleasure to watch and listen to,. Thank you x
I can't stop listening to this... it is just too beautiful and is plain genius.
Watsky, never change. For fuck sake please never change your ways of making music, it is possibly the most original shit I have ever heard.

wow holy, unbelievable..... the creative artistery in this video is astounding. on repeat, just incredibly mastered. WOW
Great song and beautiful video. Nice work Mr. Watsky.
this is not only the best piece of poetry i have ever heard, but this is an absolutely brilliant music video
Love the music, love the singing, love the lyrics and love the drawing. Adding to favorites.
The poetry is awesome, and the song is catchy. Great!
This is so comforting to someone that had fear problems with death as a child....and well.....I still fear!!!!
Thank's Watsky!!
I love watsky have for years and have never heard this till I threw on a wounded healer playlist as I'm losing it from my little brother passing about 5 years after my dad. Watsky, Ren, nf all have been help to get some stuff out... I love you all.
I think I'll just listen to this over and over and over again, cheers
We need more poetry songs like this from Watsky!
That was so moving, thank you so much for posting this.
Some music you simply hear, some music pulls on your heart strings, gets your head banging and your fist pumping. Watsky's music? Watsky's music kicks your soul out of your body and into the world. Off to create more awesome in the world.
The poetry is awesome, Mieka Pauley is awesome. I absolutely love the sound and the lyrics in this song. Great job Watsky :3
What's better than an amazing artist? Amazing artists.
This is my favorite Watsky song. It's chorus is an incredible earworm.
So amazing!!! Just... Simply wow
Dear Mr. Watsky,
This song new how to pull all the the strings in my emotions. It really hit hard. I loved it. More like this please. You're the best.
SIncerely,
Your loyal fan.
I'm in love with all aspects of the collab
Can't wait for the album George!!
So much talent just pouring out of this video
i'm a huge rap fan, not of just your work but almost all rap. but for some odd reason im finding myself more in love with your poetry than anything.
love your artwork marydoodles
this is my fave of your new stuff thus fsr. thanks watsky
How haven't I seen this song on his channel before
George Watsky is just...he...hm. He always just, knows what to do to make himself better. That is, he knows that he just has to keep doing what he's been doing, and it'll get progressively more awesome.
Amazing tune, simply incredible video
This stuff needs to be on iTunes man. Seriously I love this.
Mieka's voice just tugs on my heartstrings... Hard.
That was beautiful. The video, the song, the message, everything! Watsky's a genius.
I am totally in love with this collab!!
i cant stop watching this, both the video and the song are increadable!
An awesome song. Very interesting, and I loved the art as well!
Mary Doodles is...wow good. Another fantastic piece of work
Music, poetry, art and cinematography, with a bit of humor. This is brilliant.
The only chart and equation I see is the linear progression of how more awesome your art has gotten over the last year.
Long time listener, here, rarely put in awe enough to comment. This song is powerful, man.
Every time i hear this song... the first not instantly calms me. if im pissed this song is helpful. if im happy this makes me dance. if im tired this relaxes me. George you have made magic in my life and i thankyou for that, I cant tel you how inspiring you are. you're my hero, role model, big brother i never had you know what i mean......

I'm obsessed with this EP its my soundtrack!!! you cna feel the passion and the love that went into it
I can't stop listening to this. Must have gone through it a dozen times now at least.
I cannot wait for this album, it's gonna be amazing.

I'd love to hear an EP or something just full of tracks/poems like this!
Simply amazing!
In love with this entire album
Can't wait until Feb. 1st! :D
Amazing. Best thing I've heard from Watsky. Ever.
