[@martynsoogen7464]

its a cleansing song...

[@Elchut7]

This healed my mind a few dozen times by now

[@SeanSulkaHyde]

Words cannot describe how this piece of music makes me feel..4 years later and nothings changed. "I dont lose it I kill time"

[@PeteSkins]

Nothing ever stays the same, but everything will be fine.

[@jarradtait9381]

May even be one of the best songs released aswell

[@tattoomonkie]

I’ve been playing this on a loop for days….. Life’s hard right now, it’s been hard before, I find somekind of solace in this.

[@freedomthv]

Year after year I find my way back to this track. Such a good song I got “icarus instinct” tattooed on my foot a few years back.

[@JacG59]

Massively underrated tune, absolute bliss

[@MrSmokeTheBongAlong]

In 2024, this is still one of the best songs I've ever heard. Key, you will always the best poet ive ever heard! ❤

[@Beardo1CC]

A welcome break from the usual neck snapping High Focus releases. Definitely feeling these more soulful tracks. Mr. Key is a don.

[@81eastie]

I purchased "Yesterdays Futures" after having this track on repeat for like a month. What a masterpiece the album is, absolutely breath taking and I am grateful to the artists for their time and dedication to bringing it to our ears. Its not very often that I hear albums that I know I will bump until the day that I die, but this is one of them. If the artists are reading the comments section then I would just like to say, Thank you Mr Key, thank you Greenwood Sharps and thank you HighFocus. A peach of an album.

[@spithabitz]

mr key makes the most breathtaking music. Greenwood sharps and Key goes together like .... i cant even fucking explain it. water and sound. heat and fire. air and wind. they are the fucking creators of several universes. theese guys music has taken me to places you cannot fuckin imagine, left me even cryin a couple times cus of the beauty in the lyricism and the production. every human on this earth has to listen to this album...... its a lifechanging experience. i soooo want to sit down and talk with this guy. he changed me. keep doing what your doing Mr key to the universe! peace

[@Mark-sc2ew]

This is literally perfect.

[@joefs1804]

This has just been released on Spotifys discover weekly. What an absolute banger. Beautiful.

absolute masterpiece of a track, this is humanity at its best ♥

[@georgegreenstreet4340]

This spoke to me on a thousand levels, at the same time I feel completely alone. This man is a genius..

[@TrishaTymish]

Key and Ed currently the most progressive MCs.

There like poems they come from with in

[@retiredrudeboi]

I missed this tune

[@edgedcanshufl]

Keys flow and delivery was immaculate, deep vibes fam

[@levelupmedia791]

One of the best high focus releases for me to date,the minute I stuck this album on it captured me,the production in my opinion is absolute fire and you can feel the emotion that has been put into it and Mr key absolutely kills it,my favourite high focus release to date

[@Peroxide-Mark]

i still wish these two would release a full project together

[@djdarkstuff]

can't get enough of this one.. too deep. MASSIVE shout to Mr Key, keep doing your thing man

[@DaBIONICLEFan]

'Pretend I ain't the reason your feelings are changed and disappear into the distance till you need me again'

[@llkiii3139]

I bought the album on its debut and have had it on heavy rotation ever since. Greenwood Sharps creates some amazing soundscapes for Mr. Key to flow over, and Key kills it as usual. Much respect. "If there's nothin' to remember then there's nothin' to forget I guess Fuck it It's nothin' Forget it"

[@danielsomogyi8383]

I keep coming back listening to this great track. Remarkable collaboration.

[@RegalStone]

Soulful, poweful, deep this is REAL music

It's sick to see so much skating in hip-hop nowadays.

[@bskdopeboy]

Sagging Irresponsibly Old skate vids introduced me to loads of underground hiphop... 'Shorties - Fulfill the Dream', for example... Hiphop and skating go hand in hand.

[@WillTheHoff]

Yeah of course there's always been hip-hop in skate videos, I just meant it's sick that so many hip-hop videos now have skating in them

[@joeibbetson7605]

Totally agree, two totally amazing creative things combined into one.

[@Giedrukas]

I always coming back to this

[@Initial80fficial]

[Verse 1] I wanna feel good, if I can't feel good I wanna feel nothing, feed me oblivion Eat me a million and one plus one plus one Makes a million and dumb fuck features obsidian Stone-eyed Gilligan, bone wide domino Clip-clap, stick myself up just to sit back Tinkerbell snuffed it to pitch black, it's nothing but Big chat but fuck it I did that Chameleon I feed on magnesium strips White light fade away to amnesia bliss There's no need to resist, there's no green where the kids play Snow White sleeps in a grim grey And that's a beautiful still life I don't lose it, I kill time, face fucked Dali, With flick knives the butterfly effect What's that running down my neck? A bittersweet mixture of love and disrespect Puddled up underneath the bed Must have been something that I said Well if it's nothing to remember then it's nothing to forget I guess, fuck it, it's nothing, forget it Just another nondescript manuscript I stabbed a chick with 50 acid dipped candle sticks Snitch still waiting for the wax to drip, drip But her face is still immaculate, why? Don't answer that, shh Don't answer back, time lapse heart attack Wide black eyes suck the life out of artefacts Back from the symbolised, same place different time Same day different life, same dame different guy Live in a memorial graveyard Picking at wishbones, skimmed stones sink And broken windows don't blink Speedy eyed gonzo to feast for the flies that fly poncho I do not claim what I do not know, you Do not play gung-ho with Colombo Think about it, I can see through you see I can see through you see, see who you truly be (X2) [Verse 2] Looked deep in the abyss and I said to myself What a wonderful world, what a beautiful girl What a marvellous way to escape the space age With my faith stapled straight to my face As naked as the day I was made Right here, right now In my favourite place I'm just Following the endless meanders Fjord to the source, backwards through the backwoods The words that I write are my atlas The earth in the skies I was trapped now I'm free from the madness Emerge in the light full of thanks for my personal ties And my friends and my fam cause Well, if life ain't love son then what the fuck is it? You make your own meanings and mine's divine spirits In line the spine tingling infinity's fine but try switch to the design despite limited time You're too close To the king of the skies Icarus instinct Forget where the roots run deep and get ya wings clipped Everything's fine you're hedonistic Broken homegrown messy business Magnify glass up the past like "what is this?" No I don't know no faux clever dipshit Peppa Pig mystic to primary colour mix to baby shit brown Baby don't make me sit down I'd rather stay standing and be counted if it's all the same to you If it's all the same to you Imma sing our song of sorrow As I paint my piece of paper with a sepia stain and Pretend I ain't the reason that your feelings have changed Disappear into the distance 'till you need me again Today You'll find me hyper-saturated by the seaside Spirals in the sky and oscillations in my dream time Widen them horizons watch the changes from the beach like Nothing ever stays the same but everything will be fine (X2)

[@monkeydollars]

Chill track with a great vid. Love the mix between urban and rural. Anyone who skates knows that sketchy feeling when going too fast downhill and trying to scrub speed. This vid brought back that feeling.

[@julesmichiels7213]

[@cynical_op]

For those who don't know. Icarus was a boy in Greek mythology that flew towards the sun until his feathers, that his engineer prodigy father made so they could escape prison, melt and died from the fall.

[@tomhoughton5099]

Icarus insticnt....forget where the roots run deep and get yor wings clipped.......also the name of the spaceship in sunshine

[@cynical_op]

There is a sea and an island in Greece named after him where the myth has it he fell.

[@ZwittRion]

Just adding some precisions. The feather idea came from his father to escape from the giant maze they were lost in. But once in the air, Icarus was amazed by the sun and began to flight closer and closer to it. Because of the heat the glue melted down and the feathers went off, leaving Icaruse trapped by his own curiosity.

[@MrImmortality]

Do you mean the Aegean sea? That was a different guy

[@cynical_op]

+MrImmortality, Aegeus was king of Athens. Every year Athens paid tribute to the king of Crete, Minos. They would send a few young people as sacrifice to the Minotaur, son of Minos and half human, half bull, who was trapped in the Labyrinth Icarus's father built(O:). Theseus, son of Aegeus wanted to end this and went himself to face the Minotaur. (thesseah in greek means sacrifice). He beat him and returned to Athens but he had forgotten to change from black sails. Aegeus, waiting for his son above the sea, took it as a sign that Theseus is dead and threw himself in the rocky waters. They gave his name to the sea, Aegean. South east of the Aegean is Icaria island and the Icarian sea.
