This song and the Wild Rift Star Guardian event happened the day before my mom first got diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, and she passed away last night. I often played this song throughout the year-long battle, but now there is peace. This morning was a rainy mess, but there was sunshine in the afternoon. I like to think it was her. This song will always have a special place in my heart. ❤️
Probably the most beautifully crafted song I've ever heard of Porter's. The way he sings, the way he writes such beautiful melodies and lyrics and climaxing it with his unique Drum and Bass performance is something out of this world.
@@nigelthornberry5375 No? I mean yes it's in there very low, he said. The guitars your actually mostly hearing are played by a riot employee though because Porter's not that great at playing himself yet...
"We'll do the grieving while I'm by your side" is a line that really hit me. My brother has been in and out of the hospital these last couple of weeks in pretty serious condition. In other words I didn't know if he was going to die and tbh I still don't know. I have more faith now than I did but things are pretty bad still. So that said, I have been going through the grieving process while he is still "by my side". This song though is helping me with that grief. While I'll be heart broken if he does pass this song reminds me that life will continue on. *Edit: my brother is out of the hospital and well. 🙂 Honestly this song amongst other things have really helped me turn things around and life is going pretty fantastic at the moment. *
I know this isn't technically a Nurture song, but it feels so nurture aesthetically (and I fell in love with that album's feel and aesthetic) that I personally consider this a Nurture track, along with extras like Fullmoon Lullaby and Musician part 2
@@delldell6254 lots of songs in nurture were pop-like. I think Porter is slowly shifting from his EDM era (Spitfire, Worlds, etc) to a more synthpop/lofi-ish one (Nurture). And it's such a nice evolution tbh, I like his current style, it's so good! The next album might go more into it
Absolutely, Porter went from like EDM epic nostalgic Anime music to nostalgic slice of life Anime music :P with the Wolf Children soundtrack as his inspiration for it. This would fit perfectly in the Nurture album
A lot of Porter's songs are about learning how to move on in life. I really appreciate it because I'm always going through hard times but his songs are what keeping me going.
On July 18 I lost my mother to Alzheimer's disease and this song speaks to me in many ways. Thank you, Porter, for helping me get through the toughest moment in my life.
Same here, Porters Nurture is the only music that has made me cry I think! Would love to hear what else that has gotten you emotional since we might have similar taste
@@ilikewritingind7300 if you like nurture I would recommend the made in abyss soundtrack by Kevin Penkin it’s one of the most beautiful soundtracks I’ve ever heard and there are some tracks that just make me cry even if you haven’t seen the show I’m sure you’ll enjoy it all the same
My dad just passed away unexpectedly two days ago at night after our family having fun in a beach.. It was all great until he suddenly have trouble breathing at night while getting ready to bed and passed away on the way to the hospital. Now the lyrics "I wanna take you to the sea. And when I'm better we'll do everything. I gotta stop making promises I can't keep." hit very hard..
Man crossing over "Suffering" at 2:40 is such a small but strong imagery. I never realized that "you weren't anymore" could also mean "you weren't suffering anymore". The small changes to lyrics you see really gives another dimension to the song and the emotions it is trying to convey.
Porter did a stems breakdown on this and a little bit into his vocals he's talking about earlier on in the song he was imaging being in a hospital when writing the 43s to 1min ish part of the vocals and that just doubly hits home with what you brought up because it's like they passed. 0:43 - 1:03
@@Aetheric Yes I was watching that yesterday! In the star guardian lore it seems the person devoting their life to become a guardian has to leave their past life and family/friends will forget you. That is probably the passing in this song ^^
You wrote, "Will you meet me in the daylight like we did before? Then I felt you on my shoulder, and you weren't suffering anymore" for a grieving heart.. thank you. This lyric always brings me to tears
"cause when we're gone, everything goes on" I just can't imagine dying and one day everyone would forget about you.. The World would move forward without you.
No one is ever truly forgotten in death. Life itself is meant to be concluded in death, and it has many unforeseeable possibilities for it to end. Without death, life can't sustain itself. The dead don't want us to stop for them, but we take our time to bury them or burn them simply because we cared enough about them in life to make their deaths mean something to us before we work to move on. I remember how hard it was to get over my "Grandma Peg's" death, in fact... it fucking sucked because I knew her since I was little and loved her a damn lot. Seeing her on a medical bed in her own home after having fallen down the stairs..? Ate me up for weeks... She died on 1.16.2024... I still have a card with her face and DoB/DoD to help me remember her, I fully admit.
My condolences. I have ex that i love her. Our love relationship was fine before i to religion boarding school after my graduate at junior high school.
I feel that this song beautifully conveys the fear and sadness of parting with a loved one that we all inevitably face, while also reminding us how truly grateful we should be for the moments we can spend together, using an artistic approach that only he can master. When I was in college, I lost a girlfriend I dearly loved. Now, thanks to this song, I can genuinely look back on our time together with heartfelt gratitude and cherish the good memories we shared. Thank you, Porter, for always moving us with your music. From afar in Japan, I sincerely pray for even greater happiness and success to come your way.
I just love Porter Robinson music so much especially since his Nurture era. It feels both warm and sad at the same time - like a mellow kind of sadness, or a nostalgic kind of happiness. The kind of music that makes you able to connect to your hidden inner vulnerability.

Is it just me or are the videos with creation and convey art just so pretty? Like with the shelter sketches, something so magical about those unfinished feelings and emotions.
I keep coming back to this video for this exact reason. The shot of Kai'sa looking suprised and then gently holding her wrist with the friendship charm is just so magical I can't help but watch it again and again
I thinks it's evident why Porter keeps producing banger songs each release; the guy literally pours his heart and soul into his music. Keep rocking on dude!
Imma call this one of the most phenomenal song. It's just hella amazing. Edit: I just realized that this song talks about a couple and the other dies. It just suits xayah and rakan's story. 😢 I'm hella touched.
@Cyphafrost hope you're holding up alright. Life is rough remember the good times you had with your mother I'm sure she's proud. Stay strong. I'm sorry for your loss.
@@Cyphafrost I lost my furbaby before this came out, and seriously.. It hits so hard when he says "I felt you on my shoulder and you were suffering anymore" I can't even read those lyrics without tears filling up my eyes. The pain is bitter sweet. Its awful and it hurts, but it is a testament to our shared love
I lost my great-grandmother about one week after this released. It always takes me back to that times... She was everything to me. Fear, sadness and pain always comes back to suffocate me, but we all must go on :(
Someday I’ll be overcast, But you won’t have to cry - Cause we’ll do the grieving While I’m by your side 🎶 Excuse me while I just fall in love with Porter Robinson all over again ❤
i can’t stop listening to this song. your calmly voice, the way you sing the word “darling”, the instrumental, the video, the beautiful lyrics, everything in this video… words won’t enough. thank you porter for making this masterpiece.
as of sunday, i’ve been grieving the loss of one of my cats; this song has helped so much as I continue to grieve for my loved ones i’ve lost to the pandemic & now my baby. 💜💜 Thank you Porter & Riot for this collab
God damn it man, how do you keep making songs that hurt me so much? The pain of loss and acceptance, the desolation of moving on, the smile to try to keep it together. The last moments before departure. The desperate bargaining to make the future more palatable. All for naught. And the ever present, immutable consolation that their life, this pain, and all the memories that make up our time together will fade as and time continues to tick the world inevitable goes on.
I never heard this song until today when I picked up an overturned card on my bedroom floor which turned out to be a greeting card from my grandmothers funeral from earlier this year. I look down at my phone playing random music and saw the title “Everything Goes On” and began to feel overwhelmed by the synchronicity so I sat on the edge of my bed to look out the window while holding that card with her beautiful photo on it and that’s exactly when the verse “Well you were staring at the window” began and I just totally lost it. I miss you grandma ❤
it’s nice to know somebody else thinks about the same existential ideas that i do. i wonder what will happen thousands and millions of years past me. i like to listen to this song because it helps me stay in the present. i can’t believe you actually produced something this amazing, both technically and musically. you are really talented porter, thank you so much
Ngl, wasn't a huge fan of Porters at first. But my partner introduced me to his music a couple years ago and we've gone to a couple of his concerts and seen him recently as Camp Nowhere he is an amazing performer. One of the few celebrities/artist that makes you feel appreciated and realize that he's human just like the rest of us. P.s. OBSESSED with this song
I lost one of my bestfriends 3 weeks ago to suicide, and this song is helping me heal, lyrics were spot on because his last message to me was ""you strong as hell. you doubt yourself from time to time, but when you get going you go damn hard. and nobody does anything as passionate as you. now remember that, blud. you remember that more than you worry.
I haven't been so enthusiastic about a song in a long time. I FREAKING love this song! The vocals, acoustic strumming, the bass, pianic melody, energetic beat, EVERYTHING is so perfect.
Don't try to make yourself remember, darling Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told So let's pretend a little longer 'Cause when we're gone, everything goes on Well, you were staring at the window And I said, "I wanna take you to the sea And when I'm better, we'll do everything" I gotta stop makin' promises I can't keep But if I was gone tomorrow, won't the waves crash on?

This song literally never fails to make me misty eyed. It’s incredibly evocative, heartwarming, and gut wrenching. It perfectly embodies “don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
Following the release of Nurture, it was my assumption that album would be peak Porter Robinson. I was proven severely wrong... Love the music Porter 💖
porter first taught me to patiently wait for my time with the line in divinity, "we will wait for this," but then when it reversed and it felt like time was marching against me, he told me "lets pretend a little longer." Ive said this line so many times before something big and uneasy is about to happen and theres nothing i can do about it but live in the moment, and it calms me down. its been nearly two years and i need to speak on this/
This song is a true marvel, casting a spell that deepens my grasp of life's worth. We often tangle ourselves in insignificant things, forsaking what's truly vital. When I hear the song I feel as if I'm a old man nearing his last breath, yet wearing a contented smile. It weaves together clear insight, poignant sorrow, and pure joy flawlessly. Porter, you have my heartfelt thanks.
Everytime I listen to this, I must hold back my tears, this song has reached to my broken heart. Thank you Porter Robinson, thx so much for creating a fantastic artwork.
My grandma, who lives with me, has passed away of old age last night. My family and I spent years of caregiving her and it’s just so bittersweet to finally see her rest in peace. I’m really sad and I did cry, but I also know she would’ve wanted my family and I to continue to live and she would’ve wanted to be with my grandpa again.
Porter is entering they prime with this one, these vibes are just top notch and like no other. Truly amazed at how far they have come so far, can't wait to see that's next
I've been in love with this song. This time it appeared in a dream I had where a friend I had died due to something incurable. And this was the last song he composed. We all sang it with him, shooting the MV in the hospital and that night passed away. So now it's the first thing I heard this morning. 😢
Your live stream explaining the meaning of the lyrics was so appreciated to me. Life is pretty sweet sometimes, probably wouldn't get a personal perspective like that back then.
I'm not crying, you are. Thank you for making music of outstanding quality as always Porter. The sound, vision, stories and messages that each song carries is truly lovely.
Coming back to this song, a day after I had to put my dog down who's been with me since I was 1 and was with me through the ups and downs of my 21 years on this earth, makes me cherish him even more. I could never forget you, RIP Bruiser
Listening to this song again after watching Porter break it down on stream really makes me appreciate it more. I can hear more of the details I've missed, and understand what he thought while writing certain lyrics. I wish more artists openly broke down their songs
After Shelter, this is another sample of pure talent on his part, since you feel the feeling that Porter had when creating this song, and precisely all that is summarized here, thanks for create such beautiful songs
@@dan_noo I did not rule out nurture because it is an album project, instead if we see the context of singles, this is like the second best after Shelter because it's not in the album
@@AnkellSounds idk, I still think that Flicker, Sea of Voices, Goodbye to a World, Wind Tempos, Dullscythe (yea, imo at least, love this song) and Unfold are better than Shelter! Don't get me wrong though, Shelter still rocks but I just feel like it overshadows lots of other Porter's works
For those who came here because of League... Try Nurture (and Worlds and other Porter works), I'm sure y'all in for an unforgetable ride ;3 Para aqueles que vieram pelo League... Experimentem o Nurture (e Worlds e os outros trabalhos do Porter), vai ser uma experiência inesquecível ;3
My friend shared this song with me before she left for the military. She helped me repair my relationship with making friends. I miss her so much I will look on till we can meet again someday.
I can’t do anything but smile when I hear this tune. Thank you Porter for your genius peeking through so often. You make my time on this planet better son.
These visuals definitely feel like this is gonna be used as the visuals for the live performance of this song, it matches the aesthetic / design of the majority of songs' visuals for Nurture live. Hopefully he'll debut it at Second Sky for his live rendition of the song.
i just realized: "ill just bring the sea to you" mean they cant go somehow "All the vines that keep you tethered in your room" refers to an IV drip or support machine ~ OMG this is a love story between 2 cronically ill patients, porter robinson's song writing is soooo masterful wow, just wow. 😭
I knew you from some songs I played on Osu a long time ago, but never gave your songs that much attention, probably because I'm more of listening to other genres that make me feel adrenaline or powerful. But now this one song of yours touched my heart like no other and I feel like sad and nostalgic since my life is like I just run and run without thinking about the past because I have enough time with all the problems and stuff. That's why I usually listen to other type of music that make feel powerful in order to continue. But now that I finally have some time to think about my steps and how I got where I am... it's too much to process and this song just made me let it all out while I think about everything that's been going this recent years... That's why I wanted to say thank you for this beautiful song, it really helped me a lot...
i was watching Hypixel's recent tribute speech for Technoblade, and they played this song with the video of Technoblade's family receiving all the kind comments and tribute fanart, all printed into books. He may never want us to be sad over his death, but we still are, dearly. Therefore, this song's lyrics now clicks in my head. Technoblade Never Dies
I genuinely believe this is one of the greatest songs ever written. From the lyrics, to the instrumentels, to the vocals, to the VIBES. This songs vibes are unbelievable, and I haven't stopped listening to it since I first heard it. I don't care what anyone says. "It's not a big name artist," "It's for League of Legends," "It's not popular on the radio," whatever people want to say about it. I will forever firmly believe in my heart that this is one of the greatest pieces of music ever made.
i heard this song tonight from my discord friend, Champi, and I can't stop crying myself out. He played me this song with his guitar and it really hits different. I want to remember this night.
I'm a very picky and introverted person, and there isn't much music that resonates with me melodically. But your music not only captivates me with its melody, your lyrics are incredibly beautiful. Your songs fill me with a beautiful sense of despair, and it feels like no other writer in the world connects with me better than you. You may just be my favorite singer of all life.
There's this particular style of music that makes me shiver and tear up, inciting feelings of nostalgia for a life that I don't even have... this song, as well as Lay your hands on me by Boom Boom Satellites (which I think shares some similarities even within the genre) makes me feel like that for whatever reason. I'm so glad I was able to listen to this track during my life ♥

I can't get over how good Porter is at making a song feel so blissful/wishful but heartbreaking/emotional at the same time.
He’s been hugely influenced by Japanese music
The man is a genius at tugging on the heart strings
Same thought
its the chord progression. most anime music and vocaloid stuff is made in that to evoke that vibe
Probably the most beautifully crafted song I've ever heard of Porter's. The way he sings, the way he writes such beautiful melodies and lyrics and climaxing it with his unique Drum and Bass performance is something out of this world.

Imma call this one of the most phenomenal song. It's just hella amazing.
Edit: I just realized that this song talks about a couple and the other dies. It just suits xayah and rakan's story. 😢 I'm hella touched.
"I told you to forget me, but you stayed by my side."
Really felt this simple lyrics, made me cry.
When i always hear this song, i would always envision one day of the passing of my mother and oh boy, tears keep running non-stop.
My Mom passed a week before this came out, due to cancer. The song still hits pretty hard.
@@Cyphafrost sorry for your loss
@Cyphafrost hope you're holding up alright. Life is rough remember the good times you had with your mother I'm sure she's proud. Stay strong. I'm sorry for your loss.
@@Cyphafrost I lost my furbaby before this came out, and seriously.. It hits so hard when he says "I felt you on my shoulder and you were suffering anymore" I can't even read those lyrics without tears filling up my eyes.
The pain is bitter sweet. Its awful and it hurts, but it is a testament to our shared love
I lost my great-grandmother about one week after this released. It always takes me back to that times... She was everything to me. Fear, sadness and pain always comes back to suffocate me, but we all must go on :(
Porter’s voice is so beautiful
Someday I’ll be overcast,
But you won’t have to cry -
Cause we’ll do the grieving
While I’m by your side 🎶
Excuse me while I just fall in love with Porter Robinson all over again ❤
i can’t stop listening to this song. your calmly voice, the way you sing the word “darling”, the instrumental, the video, the beautiful lyrics, everything in this video… words won’t enough. thank you porter for making this masterpiece.
who animated this, it's wonderful
Probably Red Dog Culture House, they are credited for the music video
i did
@@zeekee418no, I did.
@@magicsackno, I did. Go away
No I'm Spartacus 😂
the major to minor vamp at 3:06 get me on tears everytime i hear it ♥♥♥♥
as of sunday, i’ve been grieving the loss of one of my cats; this song has helped so much as I continue to grieve for my loved ones i’ve lost to the pandemic & now my baby. 💜💜 Thank you Porter & Riot for this collab
Lost my dog around the same time this came out & it also helped me so much 🥹🥹🥹
God damn it man, how do you keep making songs that hurt me so much? The pain of loss and acceptance, the desolation of moving on, the smile to try to keep it together.
The last moments before departure. The desperate bargaining to make the future more palatable.
All for naught.
And the ever present, immutable consolation that their life, this pain, and all the memories that make up our time together will fade as and time continues to tick the world inevitable goes on.
beautiful music as always, was surprised when I saw Porter making music for League!
hmm, i think i know you from some videos.
awesome people have awesome taste in music i see! :D
Porter Robinson is "perfectly balanced"
well he does play the game, pretty good at it too
Ohh even my favorite terraria youtuber is here too! Nice!
I never heard this song until today when I picked up an overturned card on my bedroom floor which turned out to be a greeting card from my grandmothers funeral from earlier this year. I look down at my phone playing random music and saw the title “Everything Goes On” and began to feel overwhelmed by the synchronicity so I sat on the edge of my bed to look out the window while holding that card with her beautiful photo on it and that’s exactly when the verse “Well you were staring at the window” began and I just totally lost it.
I miss you grandma ❤
it’s nice to know somebody else thinks about the same existential ideas that i do. i wonder what will happen thousands and millions of years past me. i like to listen to this song because it helps me stay in the present. i can’t believe you actually produced something this amazing, both technically and musically. you are really talented porter, thank you so much
Ngl, wasn't a huge fan of Porters at first. But my partner introduced me to his music a couple years ago and we've gone to a couple of his concerts and seen him recently as Camp Nowhere he is an amazing performer. One of the few celebrities/artist that makes you feel appreciated and realize that he's human just like the rest of us.
P.s. OBSESSED with this song
This song is my new addiction! I love everything about it.
Every time I listen to something that you made I start crying for sadness or for happiness.
Thank you, Porter
I lost one of my bestfriends 3 weeks ago to suicide, and this song is helping me heal, lyrics were spot on because his last message to me was ""you strong as hell. you doubt yourself from time to time, but when you get going you go damn hard. and nobody does anything as passionate as you. now remember that, blud. you remember that more than you worry.
I'm so sorry for your words, his last words are so powerful and moving, he thinked about you so beautifully even while he was in a dark place
I haven't been so enthusiastic about a song in a long time. I FREAKING love this song! The vocals, acoustic strumming, the bass, pianic melody, energetic beat, EVERYTHING is so perfect.
Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
So let's pretend a little longer
'Cause when we're gone, everything goes on
Well, you were staring at the window
And I said, "I wanna take you to the sea
And when I'm better, we'll do everything"
I gotta stop makin' promises I can't keep
But if I was gone tomorrow, won't the waves crash on?
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
Someday I'll be overcast, but you won't have to cry
'Cause we'll do the grieving while I'm by your side, I said
"Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told"
So let's pretend a little longer
'Cause when we're gone, everything goes on
And I'm so scared of getting used to this
All the vines that keep you tethered in your room
Well, someday both of us are leaving here
But for now, I'll just bring the sea to you, oh
Will you meet me in the daylight like we did before?
Then I felt you on my shoulder and you weren't suffering anymore
You said, "I'm sorry that you worried, " but don't apologize
I told you to forget me, but you stayed by my side when I said
"Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told"
So let's pretend a little longer
And when we're gone, oh
Everything goes on
i get amazed how Porter doesn't miss, the guy just doesn't do a bad song
Why this song is so heart touching?
the chords and melody
Porter Magic
This song literally never fails to make me misty eyed. It’s incredibly evocative, heartwarming, and gut wrenching.
It perfectly embodies “don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
Following the release of Nurture, it was my assumption that album would be peak Porter Robinson. I was proven severely wrong...
Love the music Porter 💖
Omori :> (sorry)
porter first taught me to patiently wait for my time with the line in divinity, "we will wait for this," but then when it reversed and it felt like time was marching against me, he told me "lets pretend a little longer." Ive said this line so many times before something big and uneasy is about to happen and theres nothing i can do about it but live in the moment, and it calms me down. its been nearly two years and i need to speak on this/
This song is a true marvel, casting a spell that deepens my grasp of life's worth. We often tangle ourselves in insignificant things, forsaking what's truly vital. When I hear the song I feel as if I'm a old man nearing his last breath, yet wearing a contented smile. It weaves together clear insight, poignant sorrow, and pure joy flawlessly.
Porter, you have my heartfelt thanks.
Porter, I hope you know how many broken hearts you've helped save and nurture with your music
Everytime I listen to this, I must hold back my tears, this song has reached to my broken heart. Thank you Porter Robinson, thx so much for creating a fantastic artwork.
My grandma, who lives with me, has passed away of old age last night. My family and I spent years of caregiving her and it’s just so bittersweet to finally see her rest in peace. I’m really sad and I did cry, but I also know she would’ve wanted my family and I to continue to live and she would’ve wanted to be with my grandpa again.
2 years and I still come back to this song TwT
Porter is entering they prime with this one, these vibes are just top notch and like no other. Truly amazed at how far they have come so far, can't wait to see that's next
He's evolving! I made a cover with a music video of this, would mean the world to me if you check it out
I've been in love with this song. This time it appeared in a dream I had where a friend I had died due to something incurable. And this was the last song he composed. We all sang it with him, shooting the MV in the hospital and that night passed away. So now it's the first thing I heard this morning. 😢
A certain rain shaman brought me here! Wonderful music!
I was here from the guild leader, AND HIS NAME IS RAGUS!
you better get to gold my dude
why gold? he's already challenger with his music
@@shaze976 he's still a bronze on league
@@Anh2k5719 exactly my dude
Your live stream explaining the meaning of the lyrics was so appreciated to me. Life is pretty sweet sometimes, probably wouldn't get a personal perspective like that back then.
I'm not crying, you are.
Thank you for making music of outstanding quality as always Porter. The sound, vision, stories and messages that each song carries is truly lovely.
Coming back to this song, a day after I had to put my dog down who's been with me since I was 1 and was with me through the ups and downs of my 21 years on this earth, makes me cherish him even more. I could never forget you, RIP Bruiser
Listening to this song again after watching Porter break it down on stream really makes me appreciate it more. I can hear more of the details I've missed, and understand what he thought while writing certain lyrics. I wish more artists openly broke down their songs
I've heard this song so many times yet I can still feel goosebumps appearing on my arms after the song ends
I have been using this song to study for my exams now that I know the context this is making me cry.
What context?
@@chloskyskies4399 maybe the star guardian newest story
for some reason this is a move on song for grief of someone's passing, everything moves on, time is such a beautiful yet scary entity.
To me, this is one the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard
When I listen to your music, I feel alive and at peace. Thank you.
This song makes you feel happy, sad and nostalgic all at the same time and I love it.
"If you're in a good mood, enjoy the music. If you're sad, understand the lyrics"
After Shelter, this is another sample of pure talent on his part, since you feel the feeling that Porter had when creating this song, and precisely all that is summarized here, thanks for create such beautiful songs
bruh....the way you pick Shelter and skipped the whole "Nurture" album
Wrong again Porter's song always good in all the time ,and he did have lotta good and perfect song
But hey I feel ya bro
@@dan_noo I did not rule out nurture because it is an album project, instead if we see the context of singles, this is like the second best after Shelter because it's not in the album
@@minyan6214 I know that, that's why I say it's another show of talent, this guy won't get tired of creating good songs, and I'm glad for that :)
@@AnkellSounds idk, I still think that Flicker, Sea of Voices, Goodbye to a World, Wind Tempos, Dullscythe (yea, imo at least, love this song) and Unfold are better than Shelter!
Don't get me wrong though, Shelter still rocks but I just feel like it overshadows lots of other Porter's works
This song is so beautiful. Glad im alive at the same time as Porter Robinson
3:02 I've never seen a squiggly line become so iconic.
日本からのファンです！いつも素晴らしい音楽を届けてくれてありがとう!
Me too😊 I'm japanese. I like the songs you make.
No other artist has made me shed as many tears... of joy, sadness, pain and hope
I needed this
🙏
Yet again, porter brings me to tears 😂
For those who came here because of League... Try Nurture (and Worlds and other Porter works), I'm sure y'all in for an unforgetable ride ;3
Para aqueles que vieram pelo League... Experimentem o Nurture (e Worlds e os outros trabalhos do Porter), vai ser uma experiência inesquecível ;3
Don't forget Virtual self!
If you like Worlds check out all the live edits 🔥
Yeahh ive checked nurture, and ive been playing look at the sky on a loop !!!
@@chibitallin Nurture Live edits slaps as well!
@@CyberLucas100 agreed I've seen both live. Legendary nights
My friend shared this song with me before she left for the military. She helped me repair my relationship with making friends. I miss her so much I will look on till we can meet again someday.
This song makes me cry so hard 😭❤️❤️❤️✨ i still feel so blessed that i made it to your concert in Edinburgh❤️ truly a dream come true❤️
Every time i watch this i'm crying like my soul tearing me apart from within. God bless you, Porter Robinson!
This song helped me to cry out alot. Stay positive everyone.
I can’t do anything but smile when I hear this tune. Thank you Porter for your genius peeking through so often. You make my time on this planet better son.
These visuals definitely feel like this is gonna be used as the visuals for the live performance of this song, it matches the aesthetic / design of the majority of songs' visuals for Nurture live. Hopefully he'll debut it at Second Sky for his live rendition of the song.
This song truly captures the sad life of a Star Guardian :(
This song holds so many different emotions at the same time . I hope no one loses someone precious ❤️❤️❤️
Everything goes on Happy 2 year anniversary🎉🎉
i just realized:
"ill just bring the sea to you" mean they cant go somehow
"All the vines that keep you tethered in your room" refers to an IV drip or support machine
~ OMG this is a love story between 2 cronically ill patients, porter robinson's song writing is soooo masterful wow, just wow. 😭
I knew you from some songs I played on Osu a long time ago, but never gave your songs that much attention, probably because I'm more of listening to other genres that make me feel adrenaline or powerful. But now this one song of yours touched my heart like no other and I feel like sad and nostalgic since my life is like I just run and run without thinking about the past because I have enough time with all the problems and stuff. That's why I usually listen to other type of music that make feel powerful in order to continue. But now that I finally have some time to think about my steps and how I got where I am... it's too much to process and this song just made me let it all out while I think about everything that's been going this recent years...
That's why I wanted to say thank you for this beautiful song, it really helped me a lot...
i was watching Hypixel's recent tribute speech for Technoblade, and they played this song with the video of Technoblade's family receiving all the kind comments and tribute fanart, all printed into books. He may never want us to be sad over his death, but we still are, dearly. Therefore, this song's lyrics now clicks in my head.
Technoblade Never Dies
Wait, I’m here for the same reason. It was so good.
I genuinely believe this is one of the greatest songs ever written. From the lyrics, to the instrumentels, to the vocals, to the VIBES. This songs vibes are unbelievable, and I haven't stopped listening to it since I first heard it. I don't care what anyone says. "It's not a big name artist," "It's for League of Legends," "It's not popular on the radio," whatever people want to say about it. I will forever firmly believe in my heart that this is one of the greatest pieces of music ever made.
and you are absolutely correct
I want this song on my funeral
That would be a great!! Fly high Star Guardian
I gotta say I unironicly actually really want this played at my funeral this is not a joke
No one would come for it anyway
@@rejuch5136 probably? I still wouldnt give a shit, Its my funeral and my song.
@@nicola5896 i hope you wake up during cremation
i heard this song tonight from my discord friend, Champi, and I can't stop crying myself out. He played me this song with his guitar and it really hits different. I want to remember this night.
The nurture aesthetic feels like this song really belong to the album itself
yeah he did say he wanted this song to be an extension of nurture, related but not quite in.
Love each of Robinson’s songs from the bottom of my heart
Tks for healing me and saving me from my terrible life
The song is so beautiful that I have to cry each time. I don't know why it hits me so hard
porter said that the glassy sound at 1:52 is a stem from his song fellow feeling
Every song this man makes brings a tear to the eye at its beauty
Everything goes on :)
I'm a very picky and introverted person, and there isn't much music that resonates with me melodically. But your music not only captivates me with its melody, your lyrics are incredibly beautiful. Your songs fill me with a beautiful sense of despair, and it feels like no other writer in the world connects with me better than you. You may just be my favorite singer of all life.
There's this particular style of music that makes me shiver and tear up, inciting feelings of nostalgia for a life that I don't even have... this song, as well as Lay your hands on me by Boom Boom Satellites (which I think shares some similarities even within the genre) makes me feel like that for whatever reason.
I'm so glad I was able to listen to this track during my life ♥
truly. everything goes on.
