I Cried... | Porter Robinson - Russian Roulette (REACTION)

[@sysofficial]

"the album that I was TRYING to write was this nonstop party - NO sincerity, ALL fun, [...] until I accidentally started confessing how I was really feeling, and … you’ll hear the rest"

[@Psicough]

It's fascinating how porter releases music when we need it most. I can't wait to hear this song live chanting with the crowd "I want to live, I don't want to die!"

[@TheNemesis656]

Same 😭 ❤

[@alejandroflores7565]

Nurture actually saved me, 2021-2022 was a pretty bad time for me and it really helped me go through all of it.

[@mzizHatake]

I cried too. I’m not even depressed or going through things right now. But it made me fkn cry and feel things.

[@okluminous566]

fr man I was with my older brother chilling in the couch and we both ended up tearing up to it by the end. this next album is about to leave me in shambles 🥲

[@sysofficial]

Yes, he did actually tease this. "Don't know my schedule on the 5th" in Knock yourself out XD - proceeds to release this beautiful, emotionally stirring ear candy on the 5th.

[@no0T16]

stressing about how you’re going to react to this live is so real, that’s instantly what i thought about too😭😭

[@nikitarommel]

yea i was having fun with the song and smiling until like 3:40 (3:59 in this video), then i started crying the hell out of me for like 10 minutes next really hits when you think about what had happened in the past and put it with the lyrics, then remember that a lot is about to happen in the future as well: you will lose your parents to time, you might marry your significant other, you might lose your phone etc. etc. we just don't really think about it in the moment. but that is so beautiful. you'll end listening, you'll go on with your life, but there will be more moments when you just sit like this, listen to the song, listen to yourself and start to value things and thinking about how you've changed from what have happened to you lately.

[@ulightronx4259]

Bro I cried too bro FINALLY SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTANDS PORTERS A FUCKING GENIUS MATE

[@derontanzil6939]

when the song came out, i was on an overseas trip amd even though i desperately wanted to listen to it, i held back as all i had was shitty earbuds. So i waited, and waited, and waited for 20 days. The day i first listened to it on my pc with my headphones made me feel that the wait was so well worth. The final lines of i wanna live i dont wanna die resonated with me so much that i couldnt stop crying. TLDR : This song slaps harder than a nuke

[@BowtiedMedia]

What an incredible track! Love how openingly emotional you were here. Hope you're doing well man.

[@TruthIs943]

What the hell are you doing here

[@thelolmighty]

I saw the Outer Wilds sticker on your laptop and, honestly, while they are two completely different media, both that game and Porter's music -- particularly this track -- hit that soft spot that is whatever home is to us, and simultaneously bring so much peace. I just got off a really long shift so I'll come back later and make sure this makes sense haha

[@Blue_Brawler]

There’s two pieces of media I wish I could relive for the first time again. Playing Outer wilds with my brother and listening to Worlds. Just like you, both the game and porter’s music are extremely close to me. I know how you feel man, hope the shift wasn’t too bad. Cheers from florida brother 🙏🏼

[@777goodgirl]

I ended up cry to this my first time hearing it as well for the same reason you gave about your cat. My cat is the sweetest little girl ever and she is 12 years old right now so I know I'm almost out of time with her... That's why I ended up crying at "I wanna kiss my cat one more time" I'm just not ready!!!😭

[@mollyhudelson9860]

I just saw this video today. Yeah - this song wrecked me live. The computer voice at the end makes the final line such an unexpected twist that just hits in the gut.

[@atticus_ng]

I can relate to you that Porter drops the right songs we need to hear in that certain chapter of our lives. I just went through a really difficult heartbreak and both "Cheerleader" and "Knock yourself out XD" came out and I cannot explain how many times those songs pulled me out of the dark place i was in. Suddenly when my life started to pick up its pace and I was able to reflect and smile again. Porter drops this and it really sets so much meaning and emotion to me. We love you Porter Robinson! ❤

[@hauntedkrab]

Damn bro this hit me in the feels. I felt the same way hearing this the first time and I love the track too. Hope you and Isaac will be ok 🫶

[@sysofficial]

5th time I've cried to this. My face is red at the moment from just.. sobbing :')

[@elitettelbach4247]

Yes omg I found this song extremely emotionally resonant, especially with some recent circumstances. Porter really has a knack for tapping into my psyche and putting out exactly the song I need at the time ❤️ Needless to say, this song has already been on repeat since I saw it was released. I loved the Sad Machine references too. The beat is catchy and it’s wild how varied the lyrics are. There’s some really heartfelt and poignant lyrics in here but we also have the fun and silly funny monkey pissing into his own mouth 😂 Life is truly multifaceted! I for one really appreciated your honest and emotional reaction and analysis. And yes there’s a lot of things I take for granted that Porter highlighted in this song 🥺 my mom passed recently, so I won’t be able to see her one more time. But I definitely did say thank you to my dad. You kissing your cat was so sweet 🥰 Yes I’m very excited for Smile!

[@tydpool]

I really resonate with what you said about how timely his music is. It makes me feel like I'm not alone. He has this uncanny ability to tap into our collective experience. Every album upon release has been a perfect backdrop for whatever stage in life I've been at.

[@timimilitante]

As a fellow person whose fave artist is also Porter robinson, this was a really great reaction video! Keep this up sir and I’m sure you’ll do great things. You’ve just got yourself a new subscriber.

[@s-upper]

this whole song was just like that one Pedro Pascal meme gif

[@Brandonv1103]

What you said about how it seems porter releases music at the same time you're going through something that relates to one another is so real. I was in a rough spot in college during quarantine and I was feeling bad about myself and what I was doing and then he released nurture and it could not have come at a better time. Funny enough the same thing happened with blink-182 and One More Time. That album seemed to release when I was feeling a certain way and it hit me hard. They're both my favorite band/musicians so it really all came together beautifully. It's so crazy how much music moves us emotionally

[@ikr.......____.465]

porter is just so precise with whatever he's doing

[@haveacalmheart3010]

When I first listened to the song I thought the final "I want to live!" was a little too quiet, but with time I've realized it's as loud as it needs to be. Not too bombastic and over the top, really natural, it's pretty good. Though I do appreciate a loud glass shattering declaration to keep on living

[@Hellxvixlett]

I feel like lowkey this should’ve been released with the album instead of a single , but I feel like from what I’ve heard this is the best song of the album ( haven’t listened to all of it yet ) the drops after the chorus makes so much more fun & the last was so impactful 9.5/10

[@sewnshut1]

this track specifically really blew me away, does exactly what it’s supposed to. i wasnt super hyped for smile up until now

[@urbuddyoliver]

looking forward to bawling my eyes out in concert

[@davidvela2383]

My exact same thought was how I am going to fumble when he plays it live. Nice review man 🌟

[@forsakengravity1738]

Thanks for opening up, this is the beauty of music! Excited to hear this one live and cry and dance and sing along each one of you fellow Porter fans

[@teesnotlistening]

listening to this song for the first time while being in public was a mistake
