Mike Posner - I Took A Pill In Ibiza

[@josh_mart]

The power in honesty is what makes his music so good.

[@jimjones8812]

Very well said.

[@OikoEco]

"...until then, I'm gonna live, live, live.. . . and I hope you do too..." That hits deep. Mad respect, Mike.

​@shanemillott5229 hope you are thiving because I can not seem to make it work for me.

[@tabithagarland2095]

I come back to this song at least once a year. I still cry every time. The "remix" is nothing but pure irony. It highlights everything he's singing about. ...honest and depressing lyrics hidden behind a happy beat.

[@DirectionlessStudent]

He said pretty much the same thing in an interview I saw. How ironic he found that all when the song is supposed to be sad and depressing -- he even talks about the events around it which prompted him to write it and how badly he was feeling at the time. 😢 Just to goes to show you how clueless most people are about music and lyrics.

[@alqmiztviper]

I belive electronic music is going in the same path that it was before. The catch is exactly what you said, the happy beat and the sad lyrics make the equilibium. The same person can feel happy and depressed at the same time on the club, reflecting the will to express that depression while dancing "happy". You need to feel sad to recognize happiness.

[@environmentalnews6040]

I always think it's a feel-good, party song.

[@carolynsanders5157]

I really enjoy the acoustic versions of his music. He is so good that it translates even better, lyrically. He's an excellent poet / lyricist.

[@ptiger7177]

Definitely

[@michaelcastellanos1979]

Love the message Mike, live your life how you want to. That goes for everybody that sees this, make sure you live for yourself and not for anybody else.

[@MagWasTaken]

Every single live version of this song just gets better and better, I absolutely love the emotion behind his performances.

[@bukqueiroz]

Your Father, Mac, Tim... We will never forget Mike, thank you so much

[@soldadodecristo8037]

[@Sarith_sagae]

Haha

[@robertwilson9588]

This is one of my favourite songs now, especially this version you can hear the emotion in his voice. The line "I can't keep a girl... And the truth is I can't open up" shows vurnrability rarely shown to others. This man has felt pain.

[@caprisun9530]

this version is so wonderful, to a 22 year old who has been massively impacted by mac’s words and artistry. To now somehow already have made a connection with someone who used to call him a friend is seriously one of the inspiring moments I’ve had in years. I see great things for myself through artistic expression and i’m getting there partly through the amazing work artist such as mike has already put out into the universe. Sometimes tuning out to what you specifically are trying to create and tuning into another person’s story really can dig the perfect hole to fill no pun intended

[@jaypowellvlogs2930]

Song made me cry a little I can’t lie. I felt that in my soul...

[@dazzfire]

Just... wow. I loved the dance remix of this song but this acoustic version takes it to a whole higher emotional level I wasn't expecting. I cried. 😭

[@trapwebs23]

ikr.. i liked this song that's why i tried singing it in my acoustic guitar, and that's when i realized that this is a sad song 😢

[@Atxsmokinace420]

The applause he got doesn’t reciprocate how good this version is. I’ve shed more tears to this song than people clapping.

[@MrAaronbill]

❤

[@HauntingSpectre]

Hard to clap when you're wiping away tears.

[@domgbrett]

You might get various songs in your lifetime that touch you but in reality they only scratch the surface. Then there’s a song that vibrates the very fabric of your being and it’s usually no more than 2 or 3 throughout a lifetime. Without doubt this is one of them

[@babydoe7504]

[@fardeen2466]

whenever I feel low, I visualize myself getting a hug from you. It really helps me. Thank you Mike for inspiring us with every inch of your living.

[@GodParti]

Ive been so proud to follow your journey. Ive wanted to take a walk similar to yours... But through Appalachia. That sould searching journey. Im envious but not in a disrespectful way. Keep being you. Those thumbs down are from people who are afraid of themselves when they are in complete silence.

[@_S0urR0ses_]

Mike, u are so AWESOME!! I’ve went through loosing many friends from suicide, drugs, and cancer!! They don’t lie when they say the good die young!! You are good too and I’m so glad you took a moment and decided you want to live!! Not all of my friends wanted to die but that’s how it goes. No rhythm or reason!! Thank you for taking the gifts that God has blessed you with to show others another path! Those of us that are still here have An obligation to help others along the way!! I became a mom 9 years ago and I know being a mom is one thing I’m supposed to do. once my daughter is grown and while she is still growing I have work to do on this earth too..I’m still searching how to do both and I just hope I’m doing enough!!

[@novinovoson]

This is what happens when someone with talent, who has found success and financial security realizes that fame is superficial and their personal happiness is more important than continuing to be a puppet for the sake of status and carrying on that façade. Hope he/you are able to find that sense of fulfillment and do something you believe in for the people you shouted out. When I first heard the club remix, I just loved it as a friday night banger then I saw some interviews and realized it was hijacked from his statement as wanting out to being recycled as the very thing he was singing against. For real, hope you find a happy path in life, once I chose happiness over money and status, life got better.
