I know it sounds stupid to base your hope on a song and that many people don’t get it, but I’ve been in a downward slump for nearly 2 years. I dropped out of university, have severe anxiety and depression, gave up on all my hobbies and just isolated myself. My mother pulled me out of the darkness before I could do something stupid, I’m applying to a teaching degree, got my license, and saving up for an apartment. This song is something I use as my background to hopefully reach that bright future. One where I’m alive next year, making something good, one where I will be much better in, maybe even return my mom’s faith in me. I get really anxious thinking about the future and what I need to do to succeed but this song gives me hope in a way, it’s an anthem I’m screaming in myself, that I can make something good out of this life. My goal is to be off the antidepressants by the next two years, and with this music I’m gonna fast track it.

[@berrycoolcat]

[@liamcarmody4217]

Imagine what the liveshow is gonna be like though with this aesthetic though. Cannot wait for April 23rd

[@Aadams2424]

For me, It's a comment on how something (an emotion, a revelation, empathy) can be produced from artifical means and still have as much meaning as something that was produced organically. Just think of how electronic music is often considered "unnatural" or "less than" because it's not made with physical instruments and yet so many people feel seen and understood by the genre.

[@Shosui]

@@Aadams2424 Spot-on. Just because something is artificially produced doesn't it make it any less organic. There is still an element of the creator's soul poured into the process and outcome. With EDM, since so many sounds are produced and tweaked to such detail I believe it's one of the most revealing genres. April can't come fast enough to listen through all of Nurture.

[@Aadams2424]

@@Shosui 😊🙏🏻❤

[@EtanChamare]

@@Shosui Absolutely. Electronic music has so much potential for conveying emotion. Owl City was one of the first artists I know of that took advantage of that. His music would often convey complex human emotion in a very artificial genre, and it captivated me. Porter is taking this concept to new levels by actively clashing nature and artificiality together to evoke strong emotions and convey meaningful messages about life. I don’t think a single artist has made me feel anywhere near this much in just 4 songs. I am so not ready for all 14 songs, but boy do I look forward to them.

Tbh, if you look at it on a universal scale, the chances of us being alive were almost none but here we are as humans, in a universe that's basically a void of silence, we have emotions in this world. With life being such a rare occurance itself, Porter is able to bring more soul into it with the music, imagine how many people would have their day made by this song. People say how we're too small and insignificant to the universe but if you change your perspective, is anyone else in the universe able to look at the sky? None that we know of. It's beautiful how Porter can inspire so many lives, something so rare and special. Thank you for everything Porter.

[@marshallschurtz]

You've spoken so much about how you feel you could never create anything as good as Worlds and how Nurture has been your journey to discovering you can. That this song is about accepting you can make something good. Only a small number of us are artistic creators like you, but I think most of us are creators in something - creating content for work, creating a new day, creating a new life with someone. Whatever it is we're creating, it's so easy to fall into "this isn't good enough, why even bother." You have such a gift for taking such a simple sentiment "I can make something good," adding only a few repetitive lyrics, and making music that matches that feeling. The sadness wrapped in optimism. I don't think I've ever heard an artist who so clearly captures that feeling again and again. I feel like I'm going to need to block out a week for the Nurture release.

Porter's song just feels so nostalgic

[@沈む瀬あれば浮かぶ瀬あり]

I think this song reminds us of the cheerfulness, optimisim and forward-orientation of our younger, more innocent selves. And how (since let's be honest, none of us leave life without at least a couple of scars) the struggles of life that we endure through living cause us to grow with this mindset of captivation - we can feel much less hopeful, much less optomistic, much less that playful, adventurous spirit that once had bright visions for the world. For those of us who are in a state of little to no hope, where we feel like our lives don't have meaning and that something is wrong with us and therefore think we can't be better, this song tries to be a "mantra", as Porter Robinson wrote in the description, that there is good reason to hope, and that you are still that beautiful vessel of creation and are capable of more things than you deem yourself to be capable of. Thank you for the beautiful song, Porter :)

I’ll be here next year, and eventually maybe I’ll make something good in that time - but I won’t know if I don’t try, so I decided to hold on. thank you again Porter and best of luck in your music career. can’t wait to blast nurture in my house when it comes out!!🕊💚

i love how the last bit is like, porter's desperately trying to type out the lyrics as fast as they're being sung, but inevitably starts losing ground, until eventually he just settles on "something good." very symbolic. crying.

[@harrisonwhyte8099]

This song is a masterpiece. He teases us with hints of the instrumental melody at the end of each chorus. Then in the final chorus he gives us the full melody, but it's over a driving beat that begs for stability. It's not until 4:19 after the final chorus that we FINALLY get what we want musically: the full melody, with full supporting instrumentation, over the stable familiar beat. And the rapid, beautiful visuals enhance the feeling of finally reaching that place of wonder and opportunity - "I can make something good". I cried. This song is a masterpiece. It's just so rare to see this type of delayed gratification executed so masterfully.

[@lamhoman]

In a weird way, the delayed gratification kind of reminds me of the second drop on Fellow Feeling when we finally get the full everything :)

[@XxdemonicfrogxX]

He does this quite a lot actually, really love when he did it in divinity. great technique!

[@randyzhou3577]

I think you've hit on precisely what I felt like was missing from Porter's original secret sky preview-- the variation and buildup really help cement the melody as something special, whereas in the preview version it feels like the gratification was almost given to us too easily because the first and second halves of the song used to be a lot more similar. And as you said, Porter handles this back-and-forth teasing with absolute mastery.

this could be the most important album ever produced in electronic music. it has so many important lessons for artists from an an artist who fought and defeated failure. the muses didn't leave, you are not worthless, your ideas are worth time, you deserve rest, food, love and friends even tho you didn't write a masterpiece today. and most importantly, you'll be alive next year too.

[@vicgermain4179]

[@EtanChamare]

This is the direction I would love to see electronic music head in. The popular electronic music of the EDM era is good, but this is on another level. It has a renewed, raw, honest feeling to it. It’s rough around the edges, but not in an unfinished sort of sense, but rather a very intentional, stylistic sense that really evokes deep emotion. This album is set to be massively influential with its very meaningful lyrics, brilliant melodies, and perfect balance between perfection and imperfection.

Partly as an escape from your own world, but also as a way to help you feel like life is full of endless possibilities that are yet to come. As an adult, it’s more rare for us to feel these sensations, so am super grateful to you Porter, for being able to capture these emotions through your music. Can’t wait for the album :)

And my anxiety was so bad that I wanted my suffering to end, I didn't want to live my days in fear, I wanted to kill myself, but my waifu saved my life. I live my life for her. Whatever you're going through, stay in there and people love you. Just remember nobody is stopping you from killing yourself, do it if you have to, but remember that there are people in heaven and people like me that will always be there to support you.

It’s a duet with himself - he’s got two inner monologues, one that’s original porter and one that’s a girl. This is them singing together.

I had a very bad trauma in my memories that I don't want to speak but it's the reasons that I'm been so depress for like five years now. Since then I can't even cry anymore even how sad the situation is. My other emotions are gone and it's replace by sadness, It's look like I'm happy but deep down a smiley mask is only sadness that I can't explain to anyone. But what can I do, I always smile with my friends and my family but no one know how I am inside of the one who smile all the time to hide how broken he was. I told you I'm just a smiling walking corpse. When in front of other I always be lively but when I'm alone I always depress af. But you man, I can't thank you enough. You didn't know me in person neither I but you already cheers me up a lot and you patch me up again. Thank you dude.

The meaning of this song really hits hard, when you are gifted with something they will expect you to make something even better than the last thing you made, the pressure of their expectations really weights you down to the point that everything you make is not good enough... As an Artist this has been a thing i been struggling to overcome. You'd someday lose your gift because you yourself thinks its gone but in reality there was no gift at all the one you are losing is yourself. This is why i love Porter Robinson and his Music, its perfect every way. It gives me hope that he himself still keeps moving forward even all those things that weights him. If he can do it we all can, so be strong people.

This might get lost in the flood of comments, but I have to say that this song just made me heal a massive part of my childhood trauma and connect with it on a whole different level. I used to live out in the country, in a tiny house on a wheat field that grew flowers. It had an unhindered view of the sky and I walked that field every single day. I was home schooled, and a Jehovah's Witness (grew up in the religion) so I had no outside friends my age, and the ones I did have were turning into assholes quickly. We were below the poverty line, so we never went out anywhere asides from essentials and the meetings. I was a single child, and my mother had clinical depression, and my dad had bipolar. My whole home life was shaky, and I had nowhere to go. But outside. I looked up to the sky every day of my life under that roof, the blooming fields in front of me and the vast sky above. I would listen to music and draw in the sun. It was my home, my safe place, and in a sense, my friend. Watching the sky every single day, seeing a never ending pallet and vibrancy. Looking to the sky means so much more to me than I think he realized when he wrote this song. Thank you for this, from the bottom of my heart.

Recently my mom and dad had a divorce and I didn't feel a single thing nor was I worried. I was emotionally numb Listening to this suddenly made me cry. I felt nostalgic even though I havent heard this song or anything about the guy who made it. As I listen to this song I imagine a bunch of kids playing in the fields chasing butterflies under the sun and blue sky. And in the same place, there was a lone tree in a large hilly grass field where you like to rest often and admire the view of the european countryside. As the song progresses the day passes and as the song ends you and your friends departs away from each other to have a dinner in a humble home built of wood from the forest next to a clean river.
