Yup. First real breakup I've been through happened a month ago. This is going to be my anthem. I still love her. But now I don't have her showing up anywhere I can see it easily. I refuse to mope in my own self pity. I refuse to be one stagnant. I refuse to put my entire life on hold because I'm sad. Fuck that. You will see me.
This is one of those rare songs which just flawlessly captures and expresses a significant part of the human experience, at the individual and collective level - CASUALLY.
This song was my salvation ~ 5 years ago it pushed me passed pain and into inspired negativity ~ angry success. In my rejection, dropped by a careless man, I applied to grad school in another country. 5 years later I have a Master's degree. A kind husband. A cozy home. And still I'm brimming with ambition. This song woke something in me back then. And it keeps burning today.
This is far too amazing to only have this many views and exposure. I come back to this piece of art regularly because it's so momentously powerful and inspiring. Thank you Dan and Pip, this is still one of my favorite works. Hope you are well.
This is still one of the most powerful songs made in my adult lifetime, and the video is awesome. Returning here ever so often, usually playing video a handful of times.
Also me, but probably on a different level, "I hope", But this is my healing soundtrack, and it will be yours, She lost ME, and, I honestly feel sorry for her loss, I am a beautiful person,, and so are you,, let us both never forget this, Love from Scotland x
I've interpreted in different ways too. I think of my dad, and my mental health in particular when I hear this. Fuckers are gonna see me one way or another
@@christopherfarrell-artist3557 or maybe gasp he means wiping out the perceived diffrences between races and bringing a equality nope need to be offended
I have had pain from my past that lead me to alcoholism. I had a room mate that I have told him about me problems. I asked if he could help me, and motivate me. But he didn't . He spoke with the other room mates that were there and he writen a letter saying if I don't change my ways then "there will be serious consequences" he says. I trusted him with things of my past, he always treated me like shit, never kept his promises, and used my weakness to get back at me. Called me weak,said that my father never cared for me, and that I am a coward to my face. I couldn't put up with that so I made plans to slowly get out out of that place and I spoken to the land lord about, and they were alright with it. Thank God. And now I am thriving on my own, without his help. He was a terrible friend, and I am glad I don't talk to him anymore
This is not a broken heart. This is a letter from a man to the boy he was. A promise for change. To not be what the environment created you to be, but to be the true self.
This is the most inspiring thing ive heard in a long time. I play this every time I start to feel discouraged and it ignites something in me. Thank you for this.
The depths in which this song hits, vibrating my soul, stringing together lost love, time, an meaningless things I once held dear are beyond inspiring.
+NicCole Weinberg He cleaned himself up a little, worked out more, changed his hair and updated his wardrobe. Totally can tell the difference from his earlier stuff.
He does LOOK sexier, but I think it's more the intensity and the experience and the wisdom that makes him sexier. Yeah, he's cleaning up, but he's also opening up more, I think? The sexiest moment is his eyes when he laughs with the first line, showing the experience. He's playing more to the camera now, and that's a better look into his soul.
my mate showed me this, i was having women trouble, and man did it help, pip is a genius no doubt, only just starting my musical journey, i suffered with depression but conquered my demons, thanks for helping scroobius pip!
You are my new inspiration... My muse And I mean that not as a compliment I will use you to cruise through any writer's block Any lazy daze when a glazed gaze invades my mind's cave of creativity I will think of you... and what you did to me I will take negativity and make it inspire me I was not a book from a library As I stand here alone, I declare I was not a loan To be picked up and dropped off at a later date And you barely even made my spine bend Just skimmed through some of the interesting bits then skipped to the end The notes you left in my margins turned from scribbles to scars But here's the best part: You didn't even realise you were reading the first draft of a best seller The manuscript of a future Nobel prize winner This book you discarded as a pamphlet will ignite shit I will write ten times harder than before I will create art, I will create beauty I will create so many things that you can't ignore But I will not do them in your name I will not shout you from the roof tops I will tap your name out in morse code on my outer thigh As I casually accept plaudits from on high I will not to try to win you back I do not want you back I just want to show you I just need to show you what you fucking walked away from I will achieve all my goals ten-fold I will achieve your goals too, casually I will have happiness and joy in my life I will fall in love; husband, child and wife I will shine brighter than I could ever have dreamed to be And you will see me And you will see. Me I will make rivers run red in your anonymity The screams of nations will echo our affinity My wrath will be relentless My path of destruction will be momentously momentous I will change the face of history and paint it in my likeness And I will like this I will destroy everything that you hold dear By simply destroying everything far and near My footsteps will be impossible not to hear I will watch you from afar and taste each tear I will wipe out entire races I will erase faces and displace with great haste and no graces This world will become my plaything Embracing my ways and then just breaking I will burn this entire world to the ground I will leave a mark greater than any have ever left before I will lay waste by land, air and sea And you will see me And you. Will see. Me
This song has been at my heart's drive to achieve more than OM could ever dream of. She manipulated and abused me, and this song was behind my drive to achieve whatever I could do to not only move away from her, but to make her irrelevant in my life. The scars will remain but they're diminishing, and the harm she did is becoming more and more remote.
No... This made me change my life when I first heard it... I was going through something that this almost word for word described and watched memories pass by my eyes...
It’s far too involved to be played in the background of a tv show or edited down for the radio. But mostly it isn’t shit enough to be pushed into popularity.
What amazing poetry! The words added to the powerful vignette that is the video, creates something I can't look away from. This transcends a musical genre into a fulfilling piece of art. Any outcast, broken hearted, Artistic, and/or thoughtful person will find meaning in these lyrics! ... And how can so many see this without liking it?
Erm if you have gone through so many break ups in that short period of time then the problem maybe you so take a look at yourself. This is not an insult or attack but talking from personal experience, and only after looking more closely at myself and making changes did I meet my current partner of over 20 years. It wasn't changing my core self but noticing the peripheral things and changing them that made me able to accept such a commitment.
The thing I love about this song is that it paints a portrait of an outcast or outlier being empowered to improve themselves. Then it magnifies it by a thousand and he becomes Hitler almost effortlessly.
Is wanton slaughter evil? Of course. But acting like a man that casts away the chains of rules, and possibilities isn't inherently evil but if they do decide to be evil it's catastrophic, and if good it's the greatest thing ever and marks a golden age, conquerors are dangerous, and risky because their gods among men humans with limitless potential. And to the common man that's too risky
I think the "lay waste by land air and sea" bit is more metaphorical he's saying he'll do absolutely anything that he no longer cares for repercussions simply results simply the goal like I said dangerous but not evil
Alas, the sovereign... Self, individual, confusing, trouble, the weight on the shoulders, the antagony being truly ones on agony, the irony in the mirror image, the show coming to a stand still, the pause in your speech, the smirk on my face when teased towards getting into an argument, the baseness in real, the building block that was there, is here and there before... The one plus one, the sum, what is and what's what, the beginning and the end, the only thing, the everything... ETC. P.S. Did you catch my drift. Did you see? Its what is real and the simple 'to be' portion when questioned with what is the action to be taken, thus "to be or not to be" that is tha question. Coincidentally... Sincerely and with politeness, Mr. A. L. Hudson
This is the second break up this song has gotten me through. The first was hard. This one is harder this one was my soul mate. My inspiration... My muse.... And I mean that not as a compliment
In 4 days we should celebrate 17 years from our wedding which was on 07.07.07. Now instead of celebrating, I am looking for a rent, a place to live until divorcing will be finished. Heartbroken for my two kids and this song becames more and more my personal anthem.
The anthem of all those who got a bit too sick of being misunderstood, trivialized, unappreciated and dismissed by people who "love" them or are "family"
‘Hey, we love you and all that but can you just stop doing all the things that make up your personality and pretend to be someone else so it’s easier for us please?’ ‘How about I become the most me that’s ever existed?’
This! This is it, the purest form of inspiration! I’ve listened to this for the best part of a decade. Still hits the same! Harder then anything before. Glad to have you back my friend
I do miss pips music career. I feel he never got the chance to shine that he truly deserved. I’m glad he’s found a place in acting and podcasts, but it truly is musics loss
He introduced me to this genre, Introdiction was the first one I heard of his. Then luck would have it he had a show on the radio and I nevr missed one. He is brilliant.
Try his songs "Introdiction" and "Thou Shalt Always Kill" just as leads to his other works. Though he has not released music recently as he is focused on his podcasting at the moment. I hope he returns to releasing music in the future but atleast we have the gems he has released to be going on with.
to be honest, i think there is a strong irony in the song. it's not about empowerment. it's about the vicious cycle, when the abused one turns into an abuser. it paints the psychological background of wishing to dominate others, since the own will has been broken.
Depending how you interpret it, I think it could be either... I'm not sure what he intended it to mean, although it could possibly still represent something else, I suppose, regardless of the conscious intention... Anyway, if you think about it, you do kinda get power by becoming an abuser, so it technically could still be about empowerment regardless... Although I don't think it's the type of empowerment we should want... I'd also add that wanting to or being better than someone doesn't necessarily end in the abuse of those they wish to surpass.
I find it to be more about victory through adversity about getting knocked down and saying fuck that Ima win I'm gonna do what I want when I want and idgaf bout what anyone has to say because I'm me
The way I see it, the narrator is definitely NOT the good guy. He has ambition and drive, yes, but his sole motivation as presented through the lyrics is revenge; he holds resentment toward a person from his past which he cannot let go of and that becomes his sole motivator. If he loses that resentment he has nothing to hold him in the present. But no one can build a life based on resentment alone, which is why he is doomed to either failure, misery or both. Basically, don't just do stuff. Do stuff for the right reason.
To me it speaks of pain and bitterness, but also of resilience and a determination born from that pain. It's a moment after a very hard period of time when you've been emotionally crushed when suddenly you say "y'know what.. No. I wont let this ruin me. I will recover stronger than you could ever have imagined". I think it's that very first moment of recovery, so of course the bitterness exists but will fade with time leading to a stronger person... but as all good lyrics/poetry, people can take different things from it and interpret it in different ways. It's so damned powerful.
for many people this reminds them of an ex... in my case it was a family member who tried to make me believe that I couldn't achieve anything worthwile and that her way was the only right one... in the end she decided to embrace cancer rather than live to see her children prove her wrong.
I get a Massive vibe from the Sherlock portrayed by Jonny lee miller in Elementary, pretty much the only thing I watch on tv. and it's this specific video that made me realize part of the reason i love the character he portrays so well is because it's reminiscent of you.
how does this song have so few views? It's really not the genre I would listen to on my own, but even I can tell this is a rare piece of art. i know i'm super late to this party, but thanks for making this song.
Men and women both have the same organs. It's just some of them are missing hearts. The worst and the best part is that it has nothing to do with gender, sometimes we are just cruel.
Welcome and have fun listening to more of his music. He is the one who got me into this genre. I wouldn't have bothered with it if I hadn't heard "Introdiction" on the radio. Then he had a radio show and introduced me to more. Something I will always be grateful for.
I know for most, this is a breakup song. To me, this reminds me of the hell my mind has went through getting over the abusive programming from a two faced parent. As I stand today, I can look back on the long road I've traversed, and the even longer one yet to go, and instead of crumpling under the weight, I now rise and go forward. And this song has, today and so often, reminded me not to give up, and to always get *back* up when I stumble.
It's funny how this song always seemed somewhat abstract, even though I felt like I understood it well. It wasn't until I thought of it in the context of my toxic mother that I finally connected with it. She destroyed me, my brother, and my sister as much as she could when we were young. Broke us down in every way that mattered. Tried to make us weak like her. But she will not have the rest of my life. Even if it ends in 5 minutes, I am mine for that time. And I'll use this time to inspire love and beauty. Not out of spite. It's just the right thing to do. In trying to break us down, she made us invincible. I'll thank her for that when the sun goes supernova, but I'll make the best of it every chance I get. Evil only wins when the goodness doesn't rise from the wreckage. I will create art and beauty, as well. That's my religion. Beauty for the sake of beauty. How's that for damaged goods? I hope anybody who reads this can feel my calm determination and share it with me. It's up to us to break the cycle. We can do better. We can make it right and even worth the struggle. So, let's do that.
Real poetry, and honestly real music gives the reader/listener the freedom to depict it any which way they choose. Whatever the true reason he wrote this, it's power gives it the ability to shape shift and fit every ones life. It's hard to find these days such depth and diversity.
I am leaving a comment in hope that whenever someone likes it. I will be reminded of this masterpiece.
Or you could add it to a playlist so you don't have to search it and so return to it regularly.
Come back, it’s time for Scroobious Pip.
hi :)
Here yo reminder, fam. 💚
casually...
Years later and it still hits the same.
Years later this still sounds modern
Yup. First real breakup I've been through happened a month ago. This is going to be my anthem. I still love her. But now I don't have her showing up anywhere I can see it easily. I refuse to mope in my own self pity. I refuse to be one stagnant. I refuse to put my entire life on hold because I'm sad. Fuck that. You will see me.
This is one of those rare songs which just flawlessly captures and expresses a significant part of the human experience, at the individual and collective level - CASUALLY.
Pip is one of those artists that does that on the reg.
Probably should. Have!
This song was my salvation ~
5 years ago it pushed me passed pain and into inspired negativity ~ angry success.
In my rejection, dropped by a careless man, I applied to grad school in another country.
5 years later I have a Master's degree. A kind husband. A cozy home. And still I'm brimming with ambition. This song woke something in me back then.
And it keeps burning today.
This song came out the same time I over heard my wife tell another man over the phone she loved him. This song got me through all of the divorce.
@@herberthalstead7035 I'm so glad. Keep pushing forward ~
And they will see you
It save me in the darkest of days
hell yea
Last piece of work that dropped my jaw like this was Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb, 30 years ago. Absolutely amazing!
Such a talented wordsmith.
Love Scroobius Pip and other true British poets lyricists like
Akala, Bob Vylan, Kate Tempest, Sleaford Mods, Allflaws
This is far too amazing to only have this many views and exposure. I come back to this piece of art regularly because it's so momentously powerful and inspiring. Thank you Dan and Pip, this is still one of my favorite works. Hope you are well.
Impossible song. Leaves me speechless every time I play this. 10/10
Nothing short of a rage-filled masterpiece. Slaps just as hard now as when I first heard it a decade ago.
Mr. Pip, the emotion in this makes this distinct
This is still one of the most powerful songs made in my adult lifetime, and the video is awesome. Returning here ever so often, usually playing video a handful of times.
I love how this can interpreted in abstract or real personal ways. This resonates deeply w me because of the abuse I faced from a partner
Also me, but probably on a different level, "I hope",
But this is my healing soundtrack, and it will be yours,
She lost ME, and, I honestly feel sorry for her loss,
I am a beautiful person,, and so are you,, let us both never forget this,
Love from Scotland x
I've interpreted in different ways too. I think of my dad, and my mental health in particular when I hear this. Fuckers are gonna see me one way or another
Wow yes this is totally the song I listen to when I need to get out my emotions for my emotionally manipulative ex...
I will achieve your goals too, CASUALLY.
That has to be the harshest line I've ever heard in a song.
Has to be my favorite line
'wipe out races'.......doesn't sit well today
why would it sit down less well today than to the date of release?
@@christopherfarrell-artist3557 or maybe gasp he means wiping out the perceived diffrences between races and bringing a equality nope need to be offended
Scroobius Pip has got to be the most underrated artist of the last 50-100 years. Change my mind.
I have had pain from my past that lead me to alcoholism. I had a room mate that I have told him about me problems. I asked if he could help me, and motivate me. But he didn't . He spoke with the other room mates that were there and he writen a letter saying if I don't change my ways then "there will be serious consequences" he says. I trusted him with things of my past, he always treated me like shit, never kept his promises, and used my weakness to get back at me. Called me weak,said that my father never cared for me, and that I am a coward to my face. I couldn't put up with that so I made plans to slowly get out out of that place and I spoken to the land lord about, and they were alright with it. Thank God. And now I am thriving on my own, without his help. He was a terrible friend, and I am glad I don't talk to him anymore
Little does he know that I am working through my alcoholism.
This is not a broken heart. This is a letter from a man to the boy he was. A promise for change. To not be what the environment created you to be, but to be the true self.
This is the most inspiring thing ive heard in a long time. I play this every time I start to feel discouraged and it ignites something in me. Thank you for this.
The depths in which this song hits, vibrating my soul, stringing together lost love, time, an meaningless things I once held dear are beyond inspiring.
Why do I have to keep coming back to this song.
He gets sexier with every video and every poem, I swear.
+NicCole Weinberg He cleaned himself up a little, worked out more, changed his hair and updated his wardrobe. Totally can tell the difference from his earlier stuff.
He does LOOK sexier, but I think it's more the intensity and the experience and the wisdom that makes him sexier. Yeah, he's cleaning up, but he's also opening up more, I think? The sexiest moment is his eyes when he laughs with the first line, showing the experience. He's playing more to the camera now, and that's a better look into his soul.
okay..
Don't look....just listen
Truley a great bard of our times.
Oh man. Just discovered this song. Masterpiece!
Check out Letter From God to Man
This song is so powerful. I do it every time I go to work so I can get through all the bullshit of life. You will see me! You will see me!
my mate showed me this, i was having women trouble, and man did it help, pip is a genius no doubt, only just starting my musical journey, i suffered with depression but conquered my demons, thanks for helping scroobius pip!
Love Scroobius Pip. This, like his other poetry/songs is so incredible. This moved me.
Pip is one of the best Wordsmiths of our time, and coupled with Dan's powerful beats the two of them are pretty much unbeatable
🫠, 👍sehr gut wieder zu hören nach 11Jahren❤
You are my new inspiration...
My muse
And I mean that not as a compliment
I will use you to cruise through any writer's block
Any lazy daze when a glazed gaze invades my mind's cave of creativity
I will think of you... and what you did to me
I will take negativity and make it inspire me
I was not a book from a library
As I stand here alone, I declare I was not a loan
To be picked up and dropped off at a later date
And you barely even made my spine bend
Just skimmed through some of the interesting bits then skipped to the end
The notes you left in my margins turned from scribbles to scars
But here's the best part:
You didn't even realise you were reading the first draft of a best seller
The manuscript of a future Nobel prize winner
This book you discarded as a pamphlet will ignite shit
I will write ten times harder than before
I will create art, I will create beauty
I will create so many things that you can't ignore
But I will not do them in your name
I will not shout you from the roof tops
I will tap your name out in morse code on my outer thigh
As I casually accept plaudits from on high
I will not to try to win you back
I do not want you back
I just want to show you
I just need to show you what you fucking walked away from
I will achieve all my goals ten-fold
I will achieve your goals too, casually
I will have happiness and joy in my life
I will fall in love; husband, child and wife
I will shine brighter than I could ever have dreamed to be
And you will see me
And you will see. Me
I will make rivers run red in your anonymity
The screams of nations will echo our affinity
My wrath will be relentless
My path of destruction will be momentously momentous
I will change the face of history and paint it in my likeness
And I will like this
I will destroy everything that you hold dear
By simply destroying everything far and near
My footsteps will be impossible not to hear
I will watch you from afar and taste each tear
I will wipe out entire races
I will erase faces and displace with great haste and no graces
This world will become my plaything
Embracing my ways and then just breaking
I will burn this entire world to the ground
I will leave a mark greater than any have ever left before
I will lay waste by land, air and sea
And you will see me
And you. Will see. Me
When the ex say .. speak your heart .. send a song .. let's talk and you send this ;-) the echoes of silence thereafter is liberating.
This song has been at my heart's drive to achieve more than OM could ever dream of. She manipulated and abused me, and this song was behind my drive to achieve whatever I could do to not only move away from her, but to make her irrelevant in my life. The scars will remain but they're diminishing, and the harm she did is becoming more and more remote.
this is by far my favorite i cannot understand why it sits so low in views, there cannot be a shortage of people who can feel this.
No... This made me change my life when I first heard it... I was going through something that this almost word for word described and watched memories pass by my eyes...
Love this track.
It’s far too involved to be played in the background of a tv show or edited down for the radio. But mostly it isn’t shit enough to be pushed into popularity.
Because it grabs a hold of emotions that can’t (ironic) casually be faced. It requires a strength that is lost of the masses.
Still one of the best break up songs ever written.
This song was an anthem for old wounds.
This song is a blessing to me when I feel devalued
this is such an underrated song
I feel this is my anthem. I dedicate this song to my younger self of 35 years ago. Thank you for this!
What amazing poetry! The words added to the powerful vignette that is the video, creates something I can't look away from. This transcends a musical genre into a fulfilling piece of art.
Any outcast, broken hearted, Artistic, and/or thoughtful person will find meaning in these lyrics!
... And how can so many see this without liking it?
Same. Helped me through a divorce. Now is my anthum for any other good change in my life
Flawless. Heard this 10 years ago and it got me though a break up and here I am again and it’s done it’s job once again. 👊🏻
Erm if you have gone through so many break ups in that short period of time then the problem maybe you so take a look at yourself. This is not an insult or attack but talking from personal experience, and only after looking more closely at myself and making changes did I meet my current partner of over 20 years.

This is one of my top ten songs.has lots of meaning for me and my life. Thank you pip for putting into words what I’ve felt for years.
The thing I love about this song is that it paints a portrait of an outcast or outlier being empowered to improve themselves.

A. L. Hudson
Its what happens when you break someone at their very core. They lose all love for themselves and by extension, everything else.
Art inspires perception. I agree it's more metaphorical. Being broken takes the inner to heal. Sometimes it's dark
Wow! The intensity of this just ...amazing
Truly incredible ...the world needs more people like Pip in it 👊
no, it doesn't need more of him. it needs more people who see him.
Anna Mangrum I second that, there can only be one pip
Goosebumps everytime I listen to this song. So intense, so beautifull, so great.
Your music changed my life...
still loving it!
Now _THAT_ is a Writer, Ladies and gentlemen.
I love Scroobius Pips videos, and the song always feel like its addressing you personally, really haunting.
I've been listening to you off and on ever since I was a freshman in highschool and now I'm a Sophomore in college. You never get old Pip!
This is the second break up this song has gotten me through. The first was hard. This one is harder this one was my soul mate. My inspiration... My muse.... And I mean that not as a compliment
just as powerful today as it was when I first heard it
So much emotion in this track, i just keep coming back to it over and over again
This man needs a hug

He has ambition and drive, yes, but his sole motivation as presented through the lyrics is revenge; he holds resentment toward a person from his past which he cannot let go of and that becomes his sole motivator. If he loses that resentment he has nothing to hold him in the present. But no one can build a life based on resentment alone, which is why he is doomed to either failure, misery or both.
Basically, don't just do stuff. Do stuff for the right reason.
To me it speaks of pain and bitterness, but also of resilience and a determination born from that pain. It's a moment after a very hard period of time when you've been emotionally crushed when suddenly you say "y'know what.. No. I wont let this ruin me. I will recover stronger than you could ever have imagined". I think it's that very first moment of recovery, so of course the bitterness exists but will fade with time leading to a stronger person... but as all good lyrics/poetry, people can take different things from it and interpret it in different ways.
It's so damned powerful.
for many people this reminds them of an ex... in my case it was a family member who tried to make me believe that I couldn't achieve anything worthwile and that her way was the only right one...
in the end she decided to embrace cancer rather than live to see her children prove her wrong.
Do they say ex or break up? A break up can be of an intimate relationship of familial one. To me it is one of, if not, the best break up song.
Glad a found this fantastic
Deep man you will see ME SMASHING✊✊
Holy f***! This is one of the best music videos I’ve ever seen. Powerful words too.
The rage and power behind this song
my mom showed me stunner now im obsessed with this guy
tune
The Future has been served!
I get a Massive vibe from the Sherlock portrayed by Jonny lee miller in Elementary, pretty much the only thing I watch on tv. and it's this specific video that made me realize part of the reason i love the character he portrays so well is because it's reminiscent of you.
+The Ram God
one of his best roles for sure, but, i always see sick boy)
woah, intense and hypnotising. It touched something deep
I just found out about this from reading comments on the Flowbots - Handlebars video. I’m just amazed by this.
I feel, even more, now....this is perfect. 🖤
how does this song have so few views? It's really not the genre I would listen to on my own, but even I can tell this is a rare piece of art. i know i'm super late to this party, but thanks for making this song.
"how does this song have so few views" because some of the lyrics are arrogant in a way that hasn't really aged well.
Incredible speech i really can really relate to his words. Sometimes men can be heartless. The sad thing is that women are not that much different.
Men and women both have the same organs. It's just some of them are missing hearts. The worst and the best part is that it has nothing to do with gender, sometimes we are just cruel.
Shawn Winter "Men and women both have the same organs" No they don't. Penis. Vagina. Boob. Man-boob.
+Najey Rifai prostate
nasstor24 in general, women are far more cruel
@@DaveMustang74 and men brutal
I see you Daym.
i still listen to this when i find my relationships tough. it’s great
I miss this 🔥
Love it
recently found this guy and all I can say is WOW .... AMAZING
Welcome and have fun listening to more of his music. He is the one who got me into this genre. I wouldn't have bothered with it if I hadn't heard "Introdiction" on the radio.
Then he had a radio show and introduced me to more. Something I will always be grateful for.
That beard is so majestic
I know for most, this is a breakup song. To me, this reminds me of the hell my mind has went through getting over the abusive programming from a two faced parent. As I stand today, I can look back on the long road I've traversed, and the even longer one yet to go, and instead of crumpling under the weight, I now rise and go forward. And this song has, today and so often, reminded me not to give up, and to always get *back* up when I stumble.
STILL. SO. GOOD. 2021.
It's funny how this song always seemed somewhat abstract, even though I felt like I understood it well. It wasn't until I thought of it in the context of my toxic mother that I finally connected with it.
She destroyed me, my brother, and my sister as much as she could when we were young. Broke us down in every way that mattered. Tried to make us weak like her. But she will not have the rest of my life. Even if it ends in 5 minutes, I am mine for that time. And I'll use this time to inspire love and beauty. Not out of spite. It's just the right thing to do.
In trying to break us down, she made us invincible. I'll thank her for that when the sun goes supernova, but I'll make the best of it every chance I get. Evil only wins when the goodness doesn't rise from the wreckage. I will create art and beauty, as well. That's my religion. Beauty for the sake of beauty. How's that for damaged goods?
I hope anybody who reads this can feel my calm determination and share it with me. It's up to us to break the cycle. We can do better. We can make it right and even worth the struggle. So, let's do that.
Im so glad i found you this is art and i love it take care of yourself pip
Love the lyrics, the video, everything! Pip's the best
Powerful stuff. It's just crazy intense.
Real poetry, and honestly real music gives the reader/listener the freedom to depict it any which way they choose. Whatever the true reason he wrote this, it's power gives it the ability to shape shift and fit every ones life. It's hard to find these days such depth and diversity.
Hatfield University live... cool gig, mosh pit n all.... sweeeet👍🏻🏴😂
Let’s just take a minute a let this right in!
Well hello there good lookin! How are you? I really love this! Love all of your 'pieces of ART' Smiles.
I wish I could have done anything this epic dude did, no matter land air or sea
Thank You for speaking the truth!! No sure if any of you have read scripture? This plays so true and hard!
I swear this is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Makes my poetry look shit 😁
Everything's relative. Eyedeas writing makes pips look immature, but doesn't make it any less awesome.
I love this this was recommended by a friend. It's stunning 🔥
This song is like the mind of a vulnerable narcassist.
or someone who was a victim of divorce in the depth of formative years (mid teens)
@@jtwee6590 Only to be divorced later on in life
Or someone damaged by a narcissist…
Beautiful.
