[@DeeMan96]

Still an absolute banger all these years later

[@Jackoffs]

I've been battering the Quest remix for so long I slept on the original

[@Ns-gq9no]

I remember listening this song over 7 years ago and yet here i am again. I know everyone is probably gone but i am here. I was just a depressed kid at the time and listening this made me calm. I always thought it will be always better when you grow up. It didn't. Lot of things passed, lot of terrible lessons learned and now i'm listening this after all these years while smoking. Like you say , it's just underrated. Hope we can survive

[@MegaLakeStar]

same. remembered how much i vibed to this when i was younger. gives me the same warmth to this day.

[@akashsareen1526]

This reminds me of a quote from the last episode of Bojack Horseman (great show if you’ve never seen it) - “sometimes life’s a bitch and then you keep living”. Some things (often music) reminds you of the rough patches you went through in the past. Things maybe never really get better permanently, but the point is you kept on living, and maybe there’s some comfort in knowing that whatever you’re feeling now will one day just be a memory - sometimes it’s enough just to want to be alive and survive to see the story unfold.

[@olivercook3295]

We can survive it! True words, I feel ya! It'll all turn out great :)

[@Hannie.Schaft]

Dude I'm right here with you! ...just a year after you. The lost bois will always come back here I guess Happy he found a little success tho

[@nealesmith3700]

Oi man don't think life can be better. Of course it can. Message me you need a friend.

[@nickysnaith943]

After 10 years this tune is still just as good

[@mistymang321]

I come back every so often when I’m in a rough spot, makes it a little easier. Thanks for this piece of art.

[@PUDDICOMBE1992]

Ten years on still gives me goosebumps. Thank you GP

[@shortpegs]

The lyrics to this song represent the truths in our society. A society that is blind to the real world, and a society thriving on image and the need to be wanted. People don't understand the simplicity of happiness and what it takes to lead a full life. I thank ghostpoet for making me reflect on the past and regret nothing. We can learn from this man.

[@antisystemicparadise1202]

My son was born when this was released

[@kevinmcneill7056]

This beautiful poetry/music came on Radio 6 today and I just stopped what I was doing and listened. This really touched me Thank you so much .

[@daBjoerrn]

Kevin McNeill me too

[@musicsoups]

Björn Jacobi and me!!!

[@Outcastedshadow]

dear lord man same here

[@peterdickinson4599]

This is a song I could never find the time to like enough. A definitive tune.

[@cameronwilliamboyle2688]

Seeing you directly respond to your fans with dedication and care is possibly the most magical thing I have seen all week. You're not just a fantastic musician, but a wonderful human being.

[@ormanite]

This song gives me hope.

[@Weeklywalkabout]

The song that kept my terminal ill uncle (soon to pass) going. Thank you ghost poet, I don't know you, but thank you

[@Weeklywalkabout]

I see my comment got quiet a lot of attention off of the community, and would like to say that my uncle died a few days after the posting of that comment. He died a painless death in hospital by the side of his mother. Not sure why anyone would be dying to know, it just seemed fitting

[@margaretalvis9824]

Weeklywalkabout Thank you for sharing

[@ghostpoet2391]

Weeklywalkabout No... thank you, thank you so much. My heart goes out to you and your family.

[@krzeselko]

Omg, The "My so-and-so was terminal and your (insert item) kept his spirits up" story. I see this shit every once a month or so. No one really gives a shit. We all have uncles who died. Put a different bait on the pitty hook.

[@nanot.1984]

@@krzeselko who hurt you? Don't be so callous, the world's hard enough mate

[@ghostpoet2391]

Thank you all so much for continuing to listen to my nonsense. Really means a lot. New stuff...soonish x

[@marto1971]

Looking forward to the gig in Manchester early next year :)

[@jameskeane1990]

That gig in the rain at Glastonbury back in day was legendary broski

[@joshualane1716]

+Ghostpoet "Nonsense." Pff, okay. Keep up the nonsense, please.

[@Outcastedshadow]

dude you just spoke to my heart and fixed my inspiration.. to keep going when in doubt

[@havoc2361988]

You really 44 ?

[@roryking1]

little bro put me on to this years ago. now its buried somewhere in my mind n i have to come back every once in a while n give it a listen

[@ARakaLordBrilliant]

I just stumbled upon this. As an American I don't know why some Americans say UK hiphop is not good because of the accent. That to me is a bullshit lie. This is dope. As long as someone has lyrics, can flow on beat, metaphors, mic presence then it is dope to me.

[@GevorgGasparyangegaspar]

You wanted to say American accent of English language i guess 😁😂

[@petedineley4393]

Its not hip hop its unique

[@johndev9286]

No one gives af what Americans think... respectfully

[@syd502]

The song has been a constant for last 10 years.

[@ellebelle2507]

Yes saw a great performance at Shambala 2011 in Chai Wallahs, good times! :-)

[@richelleb67]

I just came across this beautiful voice on Triple J, here in Australia. I grew up in London (Highbury) and emigrated here 13 years ago ... not a day goes by I don't miss my roots, but I made a life here for my kids. Ghostpoet (great name btw) your soulful social commentary makes my heart happy * * "

[@jamespolitano1992]

i watched him live in nottingham last tuesday, he was incredible, i also got the chance to meet Obaro (Ghostpoet) and the band members. can't say I've ever met a more humble and appreciative artist. Thank god musicians like this exist!

[@OgSamurai133]

2019 and I'm still chilling with this song!

[@4Saleee]

2021 here :)

[@rotmgpumcake]

@@4Saleee 2022

[@imjusteagle8973]

Still listening to this song it’s a masterpiece

[@assortedpov9722]

I remember when this came out and it was on 6 Music frequently for quite a while. My head was in a terrible place and then I'd hear this and remember to keep things in perspective.

[@Jbordner]

Yo man.... This just hit me on a random Spotify playlist...I never really listen to music but I put some on today to clean my place while symbolically cleaning out old memories.... I'm not gonna get too into detail but this shit is saving me right now man. Thank you. Please keep doing what you're doing. I'll listen to every track from here on out.

[@christostiger5425]

I actually now am 44, and life definitely ain’t golden! :)

[@adriansams365]

Tell me about it

[@RocksLondon09]

i really really love you man! Saw you in germany at dockville festival in 2012, still listing to you!

[@jasonjay81]

Man ghost poet is a legend! Wish I’d seen him Live

[@joshatfield1380]

Still hits the same as it did 11yesrs ago. Most underrated artist out there. Keep it up bro

[@braingnawer]

This song still gets me through hard times

[@BigBadBalti]

Thanks to Radio 6 for introducing me to Ghostpoet, 2 weeks later bought 3 albums and just can stop listening. Top stuff

[@somerandy500]

You deserve way more credit dude, lyrics are so on point

[@0ihatetrolls01]

At 6am, waiting for the bus for the gym before work, this keeps me going, big vibes

[@Outcastedshadow]

I JUST replayed this song 3 times.....

[@joethekelly335]

You don't speak nonsense man. You echo what is happening in a beautiful way

[@lonelyspade]

wow just heard this on radio 6. love it.

[@williesmith7604]

How can you dislike this man ~_~

[@88sCYTHe]

My "youtuberepeat" counter is now at 24. And that's just for today. This song has helped me through one of the toughest periods of my life. Thanks, Ghostpoet.

[@daneput]

Its moments when you find an artist like this that you feel re-inspired about life.

[@MrEthanAndres]

I just discovered you and hands down one of my favorites! Thank you for sharing your craft with the world.

[@Attaxas]

Add this man, Ghostpoet, to the list of UK artists that have taken an American art form and improved it, and then OWNED it. This man and Roots Manuva - well 'ard.

[@askdhuwuw]

Thanks Spotify!

[@_bobanovic]

askdhuwuw me too :)

[@CommercialRapKiller]

Thank you from the heart and soul for helping me get through hard times with your music. Peace brother -'The Eidolon'

[@PEGreezyTV]

just too DEEP this is REAL life. no more no less. and for this guy to explain it so beautifully, well makes you wanna live on, fight on through the toughest battles that life delivers on a daily basis. wisdom & heart, the things great music is made from..

[@Murdock47]

So amazing. Summed up my year from hell. So amazing.

[@idoidoism]

ghostpoet your like a breath of fresh air.....go forth with those words in your hand...peace..

[@gothbabe0491]

I may not be into rap and stuff any more but I like this purely because of the lyrics. They seem perfect for today's times. Plus, the female vocal part is something I say to myself every day: "I just wanna live life and survive it."

[@1Showgun1]

This song is so deep its almost impossible to comprehend he has to much wisdom for me to understand every line as i haven't experience everything yet but this song is true were just trying to survive life thanks Ghostpoet for this man really needed it with current issues pal

[@mrloverman82]

This sounding real good in 2021. ☀️

[@RoopsUK]

Heard this recently at the Alt-J gig in Manchester, really enjoyed your music Ghostpoet, thank you :)

[@SnDatw]

No no no no no no I ain't got the license to kill like double 'O I just wanna live life and survive it love it

[@GoldenScorpKid]

That tea must be getting cold by now.

[@antisystemicparadise1202]

Not really 😕 😒.

[@saultyotter]

This is still my 'pull your socks up' tune when I'm down in the dumps. Thankyou x

[@MetamorphosisUK]

"'Ain't got a license to kill like double O, I just wanna live life and survive it"

[@2k10deanomac]

its just pure... it makes me feel so small but yet makes me feel so big because i share his feelings and im not alone

[@HippoSnr]

GhostPoet is big...and only going to get bigger. His sound is eclectic and raw, let's hope it stays that way. Peace

[@galaxylucia1898]

This song has seriously grown on me...not that i didn't like it at first..but for some reason it's been playing in my head on its own.

[@michaelburton9560]

Really loving this song at the moment.. Keep the good stuff coming! Ghostpoet

[@KitFireburn]

So much talent condensed into 3 minutes it's unbelievable. A great listen, i enjoyed it very much. Listened to this song so many times i can't even count it in fingers and toes.

[@lotidenative]

soooooo gooood!! wonderful music, wonderful message

[@00pturnerj]

such a sick tune. i love ghostpoets style.

[@quietseagull2857]

Brilliant song, It really resonates with how I feel some of the time, it's a song of the times I think.

[@getthoseskills4451]

So good. One of the best poets from UK. Love him and other Brit alt rappers/poets like Tricky, Scroobius Pip, Maxi Jazz, Sleafod Mods, Allflaws

[@MetamorphosisUK]

My interpretation is that he doesn't need any 'excitement' in his life, or rather all the things associated with James Bond like women, cars, money etc. He just wants to live his life right.

[@desktopshorts7411]

This song got me through so many tough fuckin' times man. I heard it one night walking round London and it just changed my mood. Still does. Thank you GP, seriously.

[@seabass3367]

I so desperately want to give this man a hug ❤️

[@Sejlersoren1]

Fantastic and been there and share his feelings, love the lyrics and tha pictures which they make drifting through my head

[@pw4444]

I hope this guy gets the credit he rightfully deserves,by far one of the UK best talents,

[@TheJuris1973]

I remember when this song came out. Was rough tines. I know what its like to feel the monster follow you.

[@kevinateague]

[@BongoBandito]

Awesome. need this album.

[@leapoffaith20]

Allow me to translate: "I believe this poetical expression to be of high quality. The rhythm allows me to fall into a relaxed frame of mind."

[@albertineno2443]

[@Benzzoop]

Can't stop replaying this song...

[@pikeycowboylover]

Wow ! Love this !

[@MultiSamster1234]

Saw him last weekend, AMAZINGG.. But.. couldn't understand everything he was saying, I was just caught up in the emotion, uniqueness and sound. When I got home and checked out the lyrics this song was... I don't think I've ever been kicked so hard in the balls by a song before. What a wake-up call for this 32 year old drifting fool.

[@BioDieselEstate]

Ghostpoet . . . . Yeah

[@Sudstah]

I heard this guy around xmas 2010, the guy needs to keep pushing his material out!

[@deakniro]

epic song, relaxing just listening to it. ghostpoet is so underrated.
