Hi

[@bakerfritz4681]

This version is stunning, but the pop version is, as far as I’m concerned, one of the loneliest things I’ve ever heard. The only way to miss it is to actively not want to hear it.

[@kenbrunet6120]

@@bakerfritz4681 I disagree. A lot of ppl don't pay attention to lyrics. They sing along but they're not thinking about the words. They're bouncing with the music. I've heard that song many times and never realized what it was about until I stopped and only paid attention to the lyrics.

Because now days, people only pay attention to the repetitive upbeat melodies of top-40 music. No one actually listens to the lyrics of "radio music". That's why Top-40 does so well. Listen to any radio hit. It's all repetitive beats and catchy melodic hooks! In the official version of this song, the catchy synth-sounding chords grab you. It's a proven, tried and true method in popular music! I'm not hating on Mike Posner, though. Also one of the reason why shitty mumble rap does so well. Horrible ass lyrics, but catchy beat and hooks.

So sorry to hear that. He wouldn’t have wanted you to stay back from school. No parent wants to see their child stay home. If you’re raised right, you spread your wings and fly. Don’t blame yourself. There is peace and understanding in Jesus. I said a prayer for you and really hope you’ll grab a Bible and spend some time reading the story of Jesus in the books Mathew through John.
