Yo i remember being like 16-17 listening to this now I’m 22 and this shit just hits different. All i can say is thank you for being apart of a group of artist that saved my life!
This is the sorta shit that 20-somethings like me need in their lives. Life's strange. I don't know what Oliver was going through at the time when he made this but if it's anything like what I'm going through then I'm glad that he managed to find a way to create something cathartic like this. I know Oliver sometimes checks the comments on his old stuff from long ago. If he notices this one; hi. I found you through Polo Socks years ago and have been listening to your stuff on the down-low over the years. New Year's Day was the soundtrack, to me at least, for the end of 2022 or 2023. Thank you for making this kind of music.
Oliver, I remember I was walking down Chicago streets at night when I was 15 years old bumping your music, I’m turning 22 this month now, and I still go back to these same old songs. I’m thankful I made it. Life has changed so much.
Man U came a long way Oli. I remember being 15-16 listening to this just absolutely going through it lol, now that I’ve grown up and had experienced life a lot more this song hits even harder and the nostalgia factor is Insane. Forever grateful for everything you do my man I hope to see you live one day, whenever you came to Vancouver in like ‘18-19 I forgot exactly when I believe there was another time not exactly sure but I wasn’t very well established financially and wasn’t able to dish out any money outta my ass to travel 16hrs to get there and then have to accommodate for hotels and food and whatnot but nowadays I have the money saved up and in a heartbeat I would go see you just to tell you that you basically single handedly guided me through some of the darkest times in my life and I very much appreciate you.
man i was on the very edge of everything in high school jamming to this on the bus going home poor af no friends it’s crazy how you never how much something can mean to someone
@@iwahm no perhaps you are, he's listening to the song LOL to sync his mouth perfectly to the audio, do you see his eyes bro hes not looking at the phone :\\
years and years later, this song will always have a place in my soul and in my heart. it resonates with my sadness and makes me think of bursting out of my depressive walls and make something out of myself and get comfortable in life again. i love this song and i appreciate you Ollie.
Listened to this song for months when I was going thorough some hard stuff, Oliver your music has changed my outlook on life man. You’ve kept me going over the years, I first listened to this song 4 years ago and it’s been on repeat off and on since now in 2022. This song specifically kept me from killing my self years ago, Ollie you’re an inspiration through your music, don’t stop what you’ve been doing
tommmyy nah, that's only if he signs to a major label that doesn't let him be independent bruh. but that's his choice. he needs to make it and be famous af. you fans always holding them back
The intro gives me chills. Speaks volumes without saying much. Ive yet to find a track from Oliver I dont like. Please keep making music. Like you say, you dont do this for the check, you do it because you love it. Keep moving forward, your music is amazing.
Been following Oliver for years, remember when this first dropped and I was bumping to Peep, still heartbroken this and Peep's The Way I See Things aren't on spotify but I always come back to this video when I'm having a bad day regardless, crazy to see how you've flourished and blown up brother, keep doing you. Thank you.
yea same - to be honest sometimes when my fav underground artists start getting big and the hypebeasts flood in I grow detached from them but Oliver is one of the only ones I'm actually really happy for - idk him in person but he seems like a humble, joyful person and he fully deserves clout after all the work he put in
I remember first listening to this song when it came out.. Been a while, thanks for all of your hard work and dedication, Oliver your music always has a special place in my heart.
I remember when this song came out riding around with my buddy Dan Thomas listening to this in his car. Dan drowned my senior year of highschool 7 years ago in a boat accident caused by a microburst of wind on the lake. I miss you Dan your life was too short. You taught me how precious life is.
What I love about you Oli is you take time of your day for your fans when you crazy busy.. In my eyes this going to a milli & your fans kno it! 💯❤ you brought us & helped us here. Issa blessing
i was waiting for ricky hil to blow up a few years ago, or at least be a bit more active and put out a focused, solid mixtape, and it didnt happen. but oliver fucking nailed his style here and did better than he possibly ever could. it seems like sometimes people have the vision but not the means to realize it into something significant or fully formed, until someone else comes along and finishes the job for them. i hope oliver has a long and successful and versatile career.
I remember chilling with my bestfriend when this song came out, enjoying life, adventuring and travelling. Now I'm working corporate and suffering lmao. I miss this era
One of the greatest, thank you for every track released but listening to this right now..I feel so lucky tonight. It’s always going to be better before it’s worst, and worse before it’s best
Olly, bro, your music is so captivating, like every song takes me to this special place that i feel protrays the reality that i should be living, and i pursue these portrayed realities like they'll make life seem so fucken good, idk man, your music is amazing, thank you so much for captivating special moments for me in life, life's too short to spend wasting it, so why not do the things you love and enjoy this short life that is given to us
This is the first Oli song I ever heard. I remember being back in my junior year going through Astaris account to find new songs. I couldn’t be happier that I stumbled across one of the most influential artist in my life. Everytime I’m feeling low I just put Oliver on and it always sets a better vibe, like I’m listening to the song for the first time. Thank you for all your contributions to the game. I’ll be coming back soon…
Idc who needs to hear this but I come to this song every month or two MAX you can comment here if you need anyone to talk to, I’m always willing to be someone’s friend even if it’s just sitting here n listening. Everyone here deserves to be heard n sometimes it’s hard but maybe we all just need a good friend to vent to. Anyone who comments on this I PROMISE I will give you my snap or my discord link bc no one deserves to be alone. We’ve all been alone for too long but really we aren’t alone, we have family, friends, and ourselves. n just knowing we have ourselves n we’re alive is enough for anything to gain meaning. I love you all n no one should hesitate to reach out. Especially in this community, We should all be here for each either. It doesn’t matter the age group or ethnicity, everyone deserves love. Unless you’re a bad person in ways iont wanna say but fr we’re all human. I’ll be here for anyone who likes this and comments n iont even care about the comments, I’m here to help. I may not be a therapist but I understand struggle n everyone deserves someone who understands what life puts us thru. I love every single one of you n I’ll never forget olli 😌
Takin a throw back to the best song ever, first time I listened to this was before I even really realized how depressed I was and how much this song helped. Thanks oliver
+Grimziey that's a pretty shit mentality. There have been at least 5 rappers better than PAC biggie eminem etc since they died. Dying at the peak of your career shouldn't immortalize you as one of the best despite how the genre changes.
+Brooklin McDonald legit! hes more positive/optimistic than bones and spookyblack though i think. but song like spooky black alone is deep just depressing at times. but sometimes what is needed. anyways ya his voice is similar... :)
This song out at lowest point of my life. Life is much easier rn. I'm here for nostalgia
Glad to hear you're doing better!:D
i am at my lowest point
@@1kaydo keep ur head up
Relatable
Other way around for me. I always think of 2016
Yo i remember being like 16-17 listening to this now I’m 22 and this shit just hits different. All i can say is thank you for being apart of a group of artist that saved my life!
I'll never forget how fire this song is
same man. oliver was so important to me when i was 17 and im almost 23 now and his music never gets old
OMG SAME listened to this at 15 / 16 now i'm 22 nostalgia kickin so hard rn
the thought that we were listening to the same songs at similar ages in our lives at completely different places jus 🤯
same bro i found oli right when i turned 15 and been listening to him ever since. my birthday was on wednesday and im 22 now!!
This is the sorta shit that 20-somethings like me need in their lives.
Life's strange. I don't know what Oliver was going through at the time when he made this but if it's anything like what I'm going through then I'm glad that he managed to find a way to create something cathartic like this.
I know Oliver sometimes checks the comments on his old stuff from long ago. If he notices this one; hi.
I found you through Polo Socks years ago and have been listening to your stuff on the down-low over the years.
New Year's Day was the soundtrack, to me at least, for the end of 2022 or 2023.
Thank you for making this kind of music.
Straight facts!
I know Oliver ain’t checking these but goddamn his music is too valid with my life. Wonder what/who gave him the fuel to make this song......
that's so dope he replied on this old video
@@Insertnameher3 oli da goat :)
What did he said? Y’all remember?
Can relate to him more then any other artist other than peep! every song he makes i fuck with
AngelIsSleepy Whatchu mean, he didn't say anything, he just favorited chris green's comment. Which was a year ago. So he "replied" in a sense.
Can’t stop coming back to this lately. proud of u oli
lcgan fax bro , our boys long grown 🥺
For real
No joke
I still remember when this song came out on Astari. This is og as hell
@@redvik2219 this was on astari?? damn rare
5 Years later and this song is still on replay. Thanks for getting me through the bullshit oliver. Much appreciated :)
5 years later and still liking comments. I love you man. Thanks for everything
6 years later now🙃💯
@@daltonengland71347 years later
Still on in my house and car love Oliver ❤
I love this song so much in a sad way. It makes me miss alot of things that are no longer in my life that were when I first heard it.
i feel the same way. ‘saudade’ is the best way i could describe the feeling
Going back through your old tracks. Times were easier.
They really were much simpler times. Good Times
I dead ass felt that
dam.... whole world feelin the same
@@Toaster___Bath ye:/
Yes.
Oliver, I remember I was walking down Chicago streets at night when I was 15 years old bumping your music, I’m turning 22 this month now, and I still go back to these same old songs. I’m thankful I made it. Life has changed so much.

Ollie loves rapping with his phone in his hand lol. Every video man. True swag.
Probably playing the song outloud on his phone and rapping to it.
Mark P I
@@iwahm no perhaps you are, he's listening to the song LOL to sync his mouth perfectly to the audio, do you see his eyes bro hes not looking at the phone :\\
This guy is so underrated, his music is pure fucking fire
+Dystopia Thought i'd see you here ;)
Who are you :O lol
+Dystopia Steve you druggo 😂
Dystopia yeah but you ai nt gonna bump this in the club like Shit this song makes me sad
Dystopia what about "purp" and "polo socks"
years and years later, this song will always have a place in my soul and in my heart. it resonates with my sadness and makes me think of bursting out of my depressive walls and make something out of myself and get comfortable in life again. i love this song and i appreciate you Ollie.
The first Oliver song I ever listened to.

Man, I discovered this guy a few days ago. Why the fuck hasn't he blown up yet?! People be sleeping on this.
Yup
agree with you bro
it's better that shit like this don't go mainstream otherwise his style would completely change and we'd lose another great music artist.
tommmyy That's means he can make better shit though, more quality, more production. He won't stay underground forever dude.
tommmyy nah, that's only if he signs to a major label that doesn't let him be independent bruh. but that's his choice. he needs to make it and be famous af. you fans always holding them back
Chill af, good shit

Oliver Francis, best rapper alive.
hes got potential and i love his work but eminem destroys almost every verse any rapper spits.
Yeah, but Eminems older songs is better. Right now i think Oliver is the best.
classics can never be beaten
+Grimziey that's a pretty shit mentality. There have been at least 5 rappers better than PAC biggie eminem etc since they died. Dying at the peak of your career shouldn't immortalize you as one of the best despite how the genre changes.
+Pale Earnhardt I know eminems not dead, I worded that poorly.
this is such a timeless song
7 years ago damn
Damn Oliver's voice got me feeling some type of way up in this song....
why is this kid not on tour? I'd pay good money to see him perform!! come to Toronto :)
you have helped me threw so much dude you dont even know ur music is a life saver
Bro can you PLEASE put this on Spotify
I will always be listening to this ♥
any chance your mixtapes are gonna land ok Spotify?
finding this made my day so much better
dude you sound like Bones and Spooky Black in one person
+Brooklin McDonald yes !
+Brooklin McDonald legit! hes more positive/optimistic than bones and spookyblack though i think. but song like spooky black alone is deep just depressing at times. but sometimes what is needed. anyways ya his voice is similar... :)
+Brooklin McDonald shut the fuck up
no probably not!!
***** no probably not!!
