I had reservations when Avi left Pentatonix. Now, over time, I see this is where he should be.

[@TearfulShadows]

I mean I'm sad he's gone as he was my favorite part, despite not having many chances to shine and star. But I'm very happy with what he's done on his own and I hope he's so proud.

[@Alan-cz4gn]

He could be doing this and PTX, like Scott and Mitch did, in the documentary he said that he would never leave all the fans of PTX and that he will keep working for PTX to be better but he didn’t keep his promise, soooooo.....

[@brainiac2005]

@@Alan-cz4gn, actually the fans of PTX are here, so he hasn't left us. :-) We're here seeing what else he can do besides amazingly sing pop hits--seeing what his music sounds like, what he's about. When he was leaving PTX he explained why to a certain extent, and he wouldn't have been able to keep up with the performance pace and been able to be a healthy individual. Him leaving, although hard for us fans, was actually what WAS best for the group--if he tried to keep up and crashed, that would have been much worse than the pre-announced retirement from the group. So, good job, Avi, keep the music coming!

[@brianmanherz936]

One of the reasons he gave for leaving Pentatonix was their intense tour schedule left him no time to get out and enjoy nature. It's no accident that much of this video is shot out in the woods, or that finding the beautiful waterfall scene allows him to set down his burden. Beautiful Video Avi. I hope we see more from you in future..... At your own comfortable pace, of course! ;)

Exactly! When Avi was still in PTX I listened to songs looking for Avi portions but am constantly disappointed by the role he had to take. He was barely given lines, just humms and bass support.

[@charlotteelenore1399]

burgerpatty it’s the same with kevin. they don’t give him many singing roles, because that’s not what his job is. his job, (the same as avi’s was,) is to be the foundation of the group. the low end and percussion. so you can’t be mad that ptx didn’t give them many chances to sing. they don’t have many opportunities to sing, because it’s not their job. the only time that they can shine with their singing voices, is when there is a section of the song with no bass or no percussion.

Lol, he really, really wanted to leave pentatonix. What makes you think he is sad about that?

[@TheMusicPinkLover91]

That is the beauty of true art. It is open to interpretation. Avi is a true artist and just created a masterpiece, being this song. It could be about leaving Pentatonix, it could be a breakup from a serious relationship, it could be something he wanted so badly to succeed but he couldn't, it could be depression, it could be anxiety, it could be giving up on life but there is still hope because he has other people who understand him and/or care about him. I have mentioned a lot of things that could be or could not be. Just appreciate the song the way you want to appreciate it. If others have a different interpretation, so be it; let them be.

[@jessicapeyton5444]

I definitely interpreted it as being in quarrentine. Then he found some friends but they were still practicing social distancing 😂.

So many of us are just out there trying to get through each day with the usual burdens we bare. Some of us struggle with great anxiety and depression, and some people are near or at that breaking point. Such an uplifting song! And a great reminder that none of us are alone in our troubles. To all of those carrying their heavy loads daily, I wish you safe travels, and the encouragement to never give up or "throw in the towel". We will all get by, just don't stop believing and taking it one day at a time. And if playing this song on an endless loop helps, so be it. Thanks Avi, for helping to buoy our spirits through these tedious times. Bless you always, and your gorgeous music.

[@davidfrance2915]

I felt every line in this song. I absolutely know that anxiety first thing in the morning, chest heavy, heart already racing, and the day hasn't even started. Just knowing how much work is already waiting, the daily stresses, it's a real, physical feeling. Stones upon my chest perfectly describes that. Tired of growing weary of these clouds that follow me. Swallowed by these shadows when it's sunshine that I need. I so get that. I get tired from being tired some times. I get tired of being down, and feeling depressed, and just sometimes feeling flat out run over. Literally, today, before hearing this song for the first time, I just came back from getting lunch, and the sun was shining for the first time in a while. I was soaking it up. I almost felt like a plant because I hadn't realized how much I missed it, and that holds true in life to. Sometimes it's just like, c'mon life. Give me just a bit of sunshine. This is really the title track of the album because it feels like the summation of Avi's journey the past two years. I've been following on the horizon for a while since you left PTX, and it's clear the anxiety, the pace, all of it was just weighing on you. There's nothing wrong with getting back to who you are, and it's so good to see you're doing far more than just getting by now. You're thriving. What an unbelievalby inspiring, relatable, and uplifting track.

[@crazynana1947]

Having been affected by depression and anxiety for many years, this song describes the struggle . At the end of the day, you look back and realize that you get by. Nothing gained but just getting by. The symbolism is on point with this song. Thank you Avi Kaplan. Someone who understands.

[@Evija3000]

I live in a pretty northern place and I'm completely starving for sunshine. My mood lifts every time I get a bit of sun, which is maybe twice a week lately. It's probably part of why I get depressed by the end of winter almost every year. This year we didn't even get real snow. Just cold rain, mud and wind for five months straight. Can't wait for spring, which should start within the next few weeks. I just hope we don't have some sort of Corona lockdown by then. Anyway, feeling particularly bad lately, but this song is really beautiful.

Just an inch from a prayer. Powerful. Perseverance in carrying life's burdens.

Why can’t there be more music like this. Avi you’re a Johnny cash genre. I love it.

Anyone else getting a Pilgrim's Progress vibe from that journey? Glorious - thank you for an image to go with the beautiful song - thank you for sharing with us

[@thompsonlengels2337]

@Jan Uzzell, buddy, you have read the classic? I love John Bunyan! This song reminds me how, Faithful, and Hopeful, joined Christian on their way to Celestial City. Have a great day! :)

@@thompsonlengels2337 Indeed :D Inspiring and very clever story and this really reminded me of it, especially where they are looking at the waterfall

[@thompsonlengels2337]

@@januzzell8631 sure, brother. I grew up reading Bunyan's work & the Puritan writers at ages 6. Till now, I read the classic weekly, if not some parts daily. I'm intrigued that there are some folks here (like you!) who have read the book, and know how actually Bunyan's allegory describes our daily pilgrimage. Nice to meet ya!

I’ve been struggling with depression for a long time. I’ve dealt with suicidal thoughts and tendencies. For me music has always been one of the best things for me to lean on. Avi you are one of my idols as far as people who I look up to anytime I feel the need to be inspired. You make such beautiful soul shaking music that makes me just want to go be in the wild. This is such a beautiful song and it honestly moved me to tears. It’s so simple and calming but amazing. You’re the only person I have all notifications on for and it’s because your music is amazing. Please keep being this good and please keep being you.

[@annapaul7314]

Same. I dealt with depression since I was 15 and at 20 when I tried to take my own life. I was forced to get help at a behavioral hospital and after I got out I started to pick myself up again piece by piece. I finally got through it and didn't have a single ideation for 3 years until my dad passed away suddenly. Now I feel like I'm back at square one, but I think this song was just what I needed. Hayley Williams of Paramore recently released some solo work and she has a song called "Leave It Alone" it's a bit darker than Avi's, but it still hits me right in the feels. 💔

[@annapaul7314]

Thank you, Susan. Honestly, if I didn’t have music I don’t think I would have made it this far. 😔

[@cassiepetty7666]

Praying for you! I understand this well. You are needed and loved! Dont forget to find joy in the tiniest of things- those things will become.huge in the blink of an eye!

[@norinehughes9845]

In The Name of JESUS CHRIST I plead The Powerful BLOOD of JESUS CHRIST into your soul spirit conscious and SUBCONSCIOUS. " And JESUS CHRIST our LORD was shown to be The Son of GOD when GOD powerfully Raised HIM from the dead by means of THE HOLY SPIRIT." ( ROMANS 1:4) "GOD CREATED YOU IN HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS" (GENESIS 1) THIS means that you CAN think and talk and operate like GOD. Tell GOD that you accept these Promises from HIM to you in JESUS NAME.

[@ifoifo1]

Dear Chris Roberts, think of one person who is beautiful...You... Remember all you have worked for, no matter how small or inconsequential this may be, don't loose it all just because of the negative projections from some few inconsequential persons... There are over 6 billion people on this earth (I think there is way more), and among this crowd of people there is more than enough that are far more wonderful, positive. Now count yourself as one. You never know who is looking up to you.... Psalm 91, the Lord is your strength, Shepard and guide and may you be granted the grace and wisdom to eat at the table of plenty and mercy He has prepared for you in the presence of your enemies, which includes depression and self doubt...You will succeed in Jesus name. Amen. Patience is the key (this is coming from an impatient person who is seeing all the benefits come through by learning to be patient and Trusting the Greatness of God whose timing is always perfect even if it is not when we want it..So don't cheat yourself out of receiving that blessing before it matures to come to pass

[@ruthannbishop9325]

Great song it is that inst it when rain stop and SAD syndrome drags down in there is support around u. and peace of nature that restores how grateful we for our environment to find solitude.

[@glazedandinblue8875]

What a lot of people don't realize is that depression and anxiety can quite literally feel like stones that you're carrying around. It's exhausting and every time you get out of bed, every time you go out in public, every time you literally do anything, even just simple acts like brushing your teeth or putting shoes on, you add another stone. Physically, emotionally, and mentally it makes it harder and harder to actually function instead of just laying in bed all day from the weight that LITERALLY feels like it's crushing you. I've never been able to put the feelings into words, and every day I JUST get by is a victory. Its amazing that Avi has been able to put this into something so wonderful that everyone can understand.

[@nh5264]

Avi you won't see this but this music has helped me get through my deployment and has made me long to return to nature. I can't even tell you adequately the peace I felt listening to it. Thank you man

My lows are very low but somehow I still have hope that better days will come. Thank you so much for doing music that resonates with so many of us and reminds us that we are not alone. Your God given talent is a blessing to so many. Thank you for sharing with us.
