ZombieHeadShotGaming honestly think those ‘generic’ and ‘simple’ drops are some of his best work. It’s a shame he isn’t as versatile when it comes to releasing tracks from other genres and I know he makes music from multiple genres but it would be nice to see him explore and do more.

[@demover7]

This song carries a really powerful message and it seems that everyone is missing it. Porter Robinson is trying to express that EDM is becoming very generic and has no expression of personal emotion and the standards and trends of these big mainstream songs are limiting an artist's ideas solely because of the conforming nature of production and the effect of its success. The drop in this song IS NOT meant to be desirable. Its the "Bad Guy" of the song if you will. The woman's voice in this song is Porter's own thoughts. "Ugliness" "repulsiveness" are words used to describe mainstream EDM and also more specifically the drop in this song. Porter even used EXTREMELY generic drum pad sounds for the drop mocking unoriginality. The orchestra is a symbol of beauty and expression. "I cry for all that is beautiful" someone usually cries for something if its missing or gone. "hear what i hear" Obviously the drop sounds like.. well, a bunch of random sounds. No feeling, no soul, no emotion...just empty noise. The funniest thing is that a ton of people in the comments are saying things like "boring" "stupid drop" "where is the old Porter Robinson".. It's clear that the message he is trying to convey is actually slipping right past the people he is not trying to affect and yet they are the ones making his points most valid. Pure genius.

[@InfnityInfinity]

I really don't think its a jab at the state of the edm industry, that doesn't make sense in the context of Worlds. Worlds is about escapism and different fictional worlds. To me, this song is about the balance between good/evil that exists in all worlds both real and fictional. About how good and evil must exist even in an idyllic world because good creates evil and evil creates good. Its also about the cyclical nature of good/evil throughout eternity. Its about the beauty of this inescapable reality. I guess this could be extended to the edm industry, but I don't think that is the intended message. There is no way Porter wants the most important song of his album to be trivial satire. If you listen to what Porter actually says in interviews, he is very enthusiastic about many different genres of music.

[@demover7]

I understand where you are coming from since the topic he is touching upon is rather ambiguous. That is the beauty of it. In my defense I have actually seen many of his interviews and i do know for a fact that what i have described earlier is indeed his stance on EDM. Although you may find it to be "trivial" the big picture is about expression and emotion. Where you are looking is the even bigger picture, which is purposefully encouraged.

[@Dematsa]

Aaron Fong I wanna give you 10 thumbs up for that comment. Yes, it can be related to the EDM industry, but I feel Porter had a deeper message. Whenever there's a beautiful, there's always an ugly. And when the says "all the repulsiveness will die out" it's such a powerful message as I think Porter, for the first time, is where he wants to be. He's doing what he really wants and is being adored for it. Well that's personally how I think the track relates to Porter as that's kind of how it relates to me.

No emotion, but abstract rhythm." 3:11 - 3:39 "All of the music that's orderless and emotionless will be made into something more complex and beautiful." 3:56 - 4:11 "This is what it would sound like if the two were combined." 4:40 - 5:48 "The most beautiful form of the two."

Yes! I 100% agree. All I hear from people is the "the drop this...the drop that....drop drop drop!" Its not about the drop! What about the actual freaking music? A lot of EDM tracks sound good, have very good melodies and have a lot of substance but people are just so fixated on the damn drop that they miss the actual beauty of the track.

[@erickauffmann_official]

Toni O Exactly ;)

[@duarte753]

I agree but you have to understand that electronic music is much about building up an huge amount of energy an trying to create a beautiful progression that just booooooms out ! so yeah when the drop is bad it kinda kills the vibe to it and you can't fully enjoy that part of the track. But anyways i wouldn't call that 2:38 an actual drop but hey its music its for us to enjoy and interpretate

[@GRAFFlTZ]

Well for me the first drop 'kinda killed the vibe' like Duarte Marques said and broke the beautiful melody. Rest of the track is magnificent though and i fully respect the artist for that.

[@huntersitz3430]

***** I feel like Robinson wrote this song kind of as a slap to the current status of the EDM scene. Just like Eric said Everybody is all about the drop and Robinson hates that so thats why it says "please listen to what i hear" and you have a "bad drop" with discordant unpolished drums. and then it says "Let me explain: this ugliness, this repulsiveness, will all die out. and now I cry for all that is beautiful" then the lyric melody returns.

[@TheAdvertisement]

I imagine that those electronic noises are us "hearing what she hears". The song before it is beautiful, leading us to this girl, before she shows us the "ugliness and cruelty". However, she reels us back in, explaining it, and mixing the beauty of the song in with the synths.

This was me two years ago before hearing "Goodbye to a World." Went through a devastating breakup, dealt with overwork and underpay, all while struggling with college and car/phone payments. Was heavily considering suicide one day while Pandora is playing through some songs, when i start hearing the synthesizers. I just sat there, unable to do a thing as Goodbye to a World played. I started to tear up with the first lyrics, sung during the quiet after the build up. And as the song finished, I was sat in my room, silently crying to myself for almost an hour. I don't know what Porter's goal was when he made his songs, but they succeeded in keeping me alive, so I'm grateful.

Never thought a song would bring me to tears this quickly. So beautiful.

The drop at 2:38 that is causing such a kerfuffle is harmonically barren, and the glitches are off-rhythm. It's clearly deliberate, and a powerful artistic statement; it's certainly not Porter trying to be as nasty as possible in the manner of many popular artists. I'm no huge fan of Robinson, especially given how an artist I respect more-so has been mistreated by him, but if you think the 'drop' is an amateur's attempt at heaviness you are mistaken.

[@InterEDGE]

It's a juxtaposition against the appealing sound of the rest if the song. Just before the drop, the singer says "please hear what I hear". As if saying this is the sound of all that is ugly and foul in the state of the world now.

I know the original meaning is about how EDM has started sounding repetitive n what not but regardless it still comes to me with a different meaning: I have Autism and ADHD. Both give me pretty bad anxiety, and I have a lot of trauma due to a past I will not detail. Because of this, a lot can happen. I can get ovetstimulated, hyperactive, meltdown, panic etc. It sucks, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. But in spite of that I still have this optimistic and joyus attitude towards life. My friends and family don't always understand how bad those moments can be, and even if I manage to explain it they can sometimes get confused as to how I can still be as accepting and optimistic as I am. Thats why that speech stood out so much to me: "...This repulsiveness, soon it'll all die out. And now, I cry for all that is beautiful".

[@NegaTheImpmon9508]

this this this this. This interpretation is why I love this song! Reaching out the people you love can be very hard when you're in a dark place, overstimulation, overthinking, anxiety, pain and hell- it's all a headspace.

guys, this isn't about mixing good and evil. it's about how EDM is being treated. when the singer says 'please, hear what i hear,' the music sounds "evil," and corrupted. when she says 'let me explain,' she is explaining what she heard. ugliness (how EDM looks to him), cruelty (how it's being treated), and repulsiveness (the EDM genre today sounds emotionless and angry to him). the singer says 'it will all die out,' and that she cries for all that is beautiful, which is refering to albums like 'Worlds'.

This song with its abrupt and loud distortions and intentional disconnect from what "edm" is, is so beautiful. I make electronic music, and have felt so much pressure as an artist in the genre to make everything apply strictly to the "rules" and its made things terrifying to take a chance, have fun and experiment. Like, I have a story to tell, and I feel restricted, but I just want to make art ❤ beautiful and insanely inspiring

[@anirudhmishra6460]

I found this meaning of the song on a site and I think It fits perfectly !! "It's really not there to make fun of EDM, but is there to be a part of the story. Fellow Feeling is about a world driven by hatred and other things seen as ugly. the girl in Fellow Feeling is crying for the beautiful things suppressed by the ugliness. in the build up you can hear the ugliness fighting the beauty but the beauty manages to blossom at the end with the second drop." Best Explanation yet ~

[@jjjoshiii6659]

The song is actually a statement of how EDM in porter's opinion is going bad and has no soul. The girl talking is porter's thoughts and the first drop is meant to almost make fun of EDM as a genre with simple EDM drum pads. It's porter saying that EDM is becoming soulless and just a garbled mess of sorts.

[@nenidetic]

@@jjjoshiii6659 that description was already acknowledged in this one too lmao, no need to restate it again

[@Aces00]

I find this song symbolic of the relationships between people (that's the recurring theme I've found in this whole album, actually). People work on different "wavelengths" so to speak, and sometimes they come into conflict. Hence what you hear around 2:30. However, as we make an effort to understand each other ("let me explain"), we can work together despite our differences, merging our different "Worlds." Hence the last part of the song (notice how there are still occasional distortions as we can never truly understand each other 100%, but we can get close)

[@sidhionoakbranch4871]

I agree, and as you say, since I was barely a teenager I came to the conclusion that we all live within separate, yet coexisting "worlds." You will never, ever, encounter anyone who shares the same exact experience as you; that's the sad and wonderful thing about being human. We can come close, yet no closer than 'close.' We have all been to different places, met different people with different emotional entanglements to each, most of which does not even exist in each respective world. My first experience of this song was superficial, shallow. The orchestral part was soothing, but then came the drop. I kept listening in disdain. I felt somehow that the song had become tainted and even ugly. But then she speaks that this is just what the world looks like. It's an ugly, horrible place, but, "let me explain. This ugliness, this cruelty, this repulsiveness... it will all die out. And now, I cry for all that is beautiful."

[@frozenwhitenoise9850]

its actually about porter's past music and his angst with feeling tied down to his old sound and how he is now making music much different than that. but it is just a song, it can be about anything really i guess

[@Nif-kun]

For me. I hear the world, the beauty. And how it slowly gets "eaten" by us. We slowly evolve and change beauty into a machine. A world in which we created a new, and destroyed the old. The girl talking is explaining to someone what we've done.

[@jayharr8839]

holy crap thats what i thought but i couldnt explain it as well as you did, this song is a song of humanity and the way we live and it is beautiful and tragic at the same time. It's more than just a song it's pure art

Porter Robinson AGAIN displays a beautiful ability to show the world just how powerful music can really be. This song combines both your classical these (the beginning section) then kind of switches to a heavy beat-based noise-filled section (much like dubstep these days) and closes with a LOVELY blend. Not only this, but a masterful story is woven throughout. Absolutely beautiful.

[@diazespamvalyrium8990]

that little breath sound at 4:40 just before the drop gives me goosbumps EVERY FUCKIN TIME its mental

[@jesuslovestoastyaya]

The symbolism behind this piece is referencing his past rant where he talked about how "mainstage edm" lacks the beauty of what drew him to music. The line "hear what I hear" right before the cacophonous first drop full of glitches and noise represents that Porter no longer hears any beauty in the electro house/big room style that made him famous. I agree though this song needs an edit/remix without that part. While it is beautifully jarring and artistic, I really think the chord progression is good enough to be "tune of the year", were it turned into a more melodic, continuous style of tune, like language.

[@mocdotebutuoydotwww]

Well said, I was thinking the exact same thing listening to this. Just the way and how abrupt that section came in. I feel like it had a much more symbolic purpose in the song rather than musically.

[@suburbianmusic]

Good point there mate, there IS a meaning to that "Heavy EDM drop". I give EDM two years before it gets destroyed, by its own will. People need to stop for a moment and open their ears to something else, at least try. Porter, Madeon, deadmau5, Daft Punk, etc.

[@tristanchroma9014]

Sebs Arce All four artists you just named are hugely popular. That's not to say they're bad, but I wouldn't say people need to "open their ears" when those artists are already getting millions of plays.

[@suburbianmusic]

Indeed they are, although there are some EDM-listeners that do not recognize them or haven't even heard of them, And those my friend, are just young drop-thirsty Dance music listeners

[@anjopag31]

It's Industrial, it's supposed to sound chaotic and messy. Shadient - Royalty Incorporating distortion and unusual sounds into your song isn't bad though. KOAN Sound's Movember collabs (If You Hadn't is my favorite) and Culprate's Deliverance EP are good examples of this.

[@DKPOWA]

Dont worry Porter, the message was understood, I know what you mean, blame capitalism

[@cahan7033]

Blame capitalism? Lmao

[@BruinsVictory]

DKPOWA Capitalism allows competition for profit and to please the consumer. Individuals can become quite wealthy, no matter their backgrounds. They are encouraged by profit to make a better product. It is a good balance between a free market and one completely controlled by government. Its flexible, and it works. Would you prefer communism and its economic system or should we all just barter our possessions?

[@DeathScourge]

BruinsVictory Works? Sort of, perhaps. It comes with alot of issues aswell, when people are consumed by their greed. In the short lifespan of capitalism a whole lot has gone completely shit. Furthermore, there is no point bringing communism into this as it has never existed in it's true meaning and never will, same applies to socialism, they are utopistic ideals that will never exist due to the basic human nature of being so fucking greedy and selfish.

[@CJH3D]

BruinsVictory Capitalism isn't a balance between a free market and a command economy, it's completely no-rules. Capitalism is like a race, and the one with the most gains and opportunities (and not to mention inheritance) gets farther in the race and "wins", gaining riches and power. Sounds nice, but there's two problems with it: The first is economically: once you've "won" the race, there isn't anything that says "don't keep going", and they still feel obligated to get more profits and power even though they have more money than they know what to do with, and so they feel a desire for control, and that's where things like lobbyism and corporatism happens. And people below them lose the opportunities and gains And the second is a cultural thing; the only goal is to make a profit; it doesn't matter at all what you're doing. So with something like arts and music, the craft doesn't even matter, it's just getting more money, which is the major explanation why popular music is so shallow, meaningless and identical, and our culture is so vain, superficial and materialistic. So I think that's what DKPOWA meant by "blame capitalism" ***** Communism is a more extreme and unreasonable version of Socialism, which an extreme and unreasonable version of Keynesianism, which is more or less a version of Capitalism that prevents the influence of Corporatism or Lobbyism from ever happening with minor judicial restrictions

Y’know, all symbolism aside, I consider this one of Porter’s best works production-wise.

[@kundatrix]

a message for the people who like the 2:31 part, even if it's supposed to represent the wrong in edm, it's made to be catchy a rythmic while still not holding any artistic value (much like all about that bass), so don't feel bad but try to distinguish between the shitty song all about beats and drops and the good ones that can make you feel happy and wholeheartedly smile

Sebastian Petruška Well said! But I think its also a representation on how generic and repetitive the era of EDM. Yes, it is supossed to be loud and crazy. And while some of the tracks are pretty decent. But somehow, the generic tunes are tugging the EDM society to like disgusting, meaningless and gross sounds.

[@room___]

thought it was about how the machine, the girl narrating the song, hears: ugly and constant machine sounds, contrasting with the soft strings that the human perceive's, then finally a unity of these two styles, showing a unity between human and machine its wild mass guessing but thats what i inferred.

[@immortalsector]

My views- This is how I interpret this song, from 00:00 too 00:43 there is a very nice soothing calling violin track and from 00:43 to 01;00 there is a nice subtle piano track added, from 01:00 to 01:30 you start to hear nice undertones of electronic music and from 02:00 onwards there is a very nice track of violins and soothing electronic music, the lyrics 'I cried for I didn't think it could be true, that you and I might have always known one another' I think she is talking about how classical-ish music and electronic were always meant to come together and that electronic music doesn't have to be loud and scratchy, then she says ' that we could not only evoke, but conjure a place of our own' She is talking about how classical-ish and electronic music, everyone thought they would be hideous together but she thinks otherwise and they can both conjure up a great mix, she then goes on to say 'And that every there that has ever existed was all in service of our dream' She speaks as her dream is a nice soothing edm track and not a horrible loud dub step one, she says 'Now please hear what I hear' she is asking us to listen to what people interpret dubtep as and from 02:37 to 03:11 we hear horrible loud annoying screeching music that is dubstep and from 03:11 we have nice calm music once again, she says 'Let me explain, this ugliness, this cruelty, this repulsiveness, it will all die out and now I cry for all that is beautiful' She is explaining that dubstep is ugly, repulsive and cruel to normal calm music, and how it will all disappear and how she will cry for joy when it does, there is a very nice mix of calm music which she interprets as 'beauty' from 03:27 to 04:10 where she then says 'Let me explain' This is where she shows you the comparison of ugly music to Beautiful music, from 04:17 there is ugly music to show the ugliness until 04:40 where she shows the beauty of the music and how edm should sound. I think porter did a very good job at portraying this thought!

"To me, Fellow Feeling stands for- i wanted people to feel what i felt when it came to aggressive, electronic beats. And where my head was at at that time, how that music was making me feel, I was very frustrated with heavy, heavy 128BPM stuff. And so I turned it into this ugly, evil, chugging, techno monster that doesn’t really have a danceable meter to it, and it glitches and moves in and out of quarter notes, and it’s not in the right key. To me, this song was meant to help people understand where my head was at with dance music. But one of my fears with renouncing dance music, was that people were going to take it as me renouncing all of my old music. That’s not what i ever wanted, that music stood for something to me at the time and i wrote it for a reason. To me, the second half of the song is a reference to Language and Easy, earlier songs of mine (which i still very much love), and I wanted to show that i could write this big, loud, melodic music at 128BPM that that was still who i was, and that would fit with my new vision. But this idea of writing aggressive, heavy beats for the sake of it, was- I feel like i was expressing some violence towards that idea. I think the vocal makes it pretty literal." -His Spotify Commentary

The reason he did that is to show the mistreatment of EDM (Electronic Dance Music).

edymasta first of all , neither the intro was Mozart like or the drop was Skrillex like , so I guess you don’t know much about music . And the drop was bad intentionally , You would have understood if you at least payed attention to the lyrics.
