Porter looking back at this past is the vibe i get while listening to this. He remembers is past self, using it to improve and be the best he can be in the present. Worlds was an album about escaping to other worlds, while this feels like a returning to reality. I feel that Porter with this song is looking at worlds and realizing how much it helped him becoming what he is today

I've spent the past year hoping that things would turn around for us (hoping made you hurt more), and I felt like something has been wrong with me, like this had all been my fault, like I'm a fraud. I still battle with that, but the pain has also brought the most growth I've been able to experience in a long time, in my life. So anyone who is also struggling, know that there is comfort in the greatest of pains... This is so beautiful. Thank you Porter, for all you do.

@@bobcat_named_bob 1. Piano? Any song that has piano sounds like Virtual Self? Lol 2. Tempo on Virtual Self songs vary quite widely from 91 BPM to 166 BPM, so that's a tough sell...and 3. Samples? Which samples? The piano and some of the drums breaks are about the only things relatively reminiscent of Virtual Self, but the vibes and context are so diatomically opposed between this and Virtual Self, it feels like a massive reach to say they were similar bc they both used a piano/had a similar drum break in one section.

[@austinbethel6244]

@Boyo See response to Julia, tempo is not really similar/related to Virtual Self at all & drum breaks != drum 'n' bass lol

[@bobcat_named_bob]

Austin Bethel I’m not sure you took into account what the he said, but he said that it is porter’s style. That’s why they vary. The piano is not the only sound that is carried over, there are many other sounds. The tempo in Eon Break and Particle arts are actually fast.The breakbeats are sped up to that tempo and the chords are at that tempo too. Drum breaks do not equal drum and bass, virtual self was based off of breakbeat hardcore and trance, not drum and bass. It had nothing to do with drum and bass

[@hullbreaker]

這是我在KZbin第一次留言，我決定要將它獻給這首歌和Porter。Porter的歌從以前就充滿層次，不管是結構、不同的聲音、意義、意象，甚至是不同時間軸上的他。在這首歌裡，包含了Porter的Worlds和Virtual Self，也增加了新的東西。最令人敬佩之處是，這首歌並沒有跳離他自己，但也包含了他跳出自己的努力，從Worlds到nurture，他試著處理更微小巧妙的東西，美麗而充滿光芒。Porter和他的歌會一起成長，當越多歌從他誕生，他們會越來越完整，越來越接近一種哲學。如果這世界的音樂逐漸消失，我會希望這首是最後一首，謝謝你Porter，為這個世界帶來真實的音樂。

[@Kttamaaa]

Translation: This is my first message on KZbin and I decided to dedicate it to this song and Porter. Porter's songs have been full of layers from the past, whether it is structure, different sounds, meanings, images, or even him on different timelines. In this song, Porter's Worlds and Virtual Self are included, and new things are added. The most admirable thing is that this song did not jump away from himself, but also included his efforts to jump out of himself. From Worlds to nursery, he tried to deal with smaller and clever things, beautiful and full of light. Porter and his songs will grow together. As more songs are born from him, they will become more complete and closer to a philosophy. If the music of this world is gradually disappearing, I would like this one to be the last one, thank you Porter for bringing real music to this world.

at the end, when porter's original vocals switch back and forth between the filtered one but eventually settles on the filtered vocals, it makes me think that might be a metaphor for how porter's afraid to show himself so he "hides" behind an altered version for "comfort" (y'know... *Something Comforting* )

But he probably doesn't know that we all still love Porter so so so much, and we're happy for the arrival of Nurture..

[@amzp08]

At first time, I was afraid that "nurture" couldn't live up to our expectation, because the coverage of "Worlds" is way too big with exciting fictional inspiration. Obviously, 'nature theme' seems to be less attractive than 'fantasy theme', but why this 2nd product is better than the debut one? How incredible. The truth is, it's all about Porter's talent, not themes of the albums. He's never afraid to try new styles, and getting better and better

[@wierdgamer3067]

I think the key is that porter works his butt off in expressing and telling a story or sending a message, but in a way where it flows with the overall feeling of the message he wants to send, and he has a special talent to touch the hearts and minds of millions of different individual people in a very similar fashion and express that message so perfectly and harmoniously.

[@surmaster4618]

I think this song signifies Porter’s past discography all meshed in one compilation (Spitfire, Worlds, Shelter, Virtual Self & Nurture). He’s reminiscing down all his greatest musical achievements which brings him so much comfort to revisit and look back at. Hence, calling it “Something Comforting”. It’s a masterpiece which is something comforting for the fans & himself to listen to‼️

[@neutronicsha]

I totally agree with you! I think it may also resemble how Porter felt a bit suffocated by the fact that he couldn't create anything hence "oh there must be something wrong with me". Also, in the beginning when he said something like losing a part of himself, that may resemble what he felt like when he considered stopping making music. In addition to that, he may be revisiting his old music by changing his voice, which also may resemble how open he feels to his audience and himself. And, by something comforting it may resemble that he wants to feel some comfort on what he feels. (Sorry if this is really confusing, I just have a lot of thoughts and I don't know how to express it!)

[@March641]

And then the part where his voice was switching out back and forth was most likely alluding to the idea that despite how much he's changed over the years, no matter what, it never can change the fact that he's good at what he does regardless.

[@surmaster4618]

I met her 8 years ago. She is the most amazing, unique, compassionate, funny person I know. She quickly became my best friend. I cherished every moment I had with her and every day with her was a new adventure. She gave me some of the best moments of my life. One day, out of nowhere, I looked into her eyes and realized I had feelings for her. I wanted her but I couldn’t bear losing our friendship. I buried these feelings deep inside me for the sake of our friendship. 5 years later, I finally confessed. It didn’t go well. She wanted to still be friends but I felt her distancing herself from me. Every time I saw her, it felt like there was a wall between us. The following year, I did my absolute best to pretend like everything was okay and things can be just as it was before. I would do anything for her if it made her smile. There was also a part of me that held onto the hope that she would one day see me in a different light. I kept overthinking things. I was already very stressed out from school and issues with my family. I became so depressed. I wanted to give up on everything. The frustration I had with myself and her made me become toxic. Everything hurt so much. I finally broke. I couldn’t keep pretending. I couldn’t look into her eyes and laugh with her, knowing that every part of me is being torn into pieces. I couldn’t see her sad without the urge to embrace her while I am holding in so much pain. I couldn’t keep latching onto the idea that maybe someday there will be hope. Being in her presence made me want more. Hoping made me hurt more. As hard as it was, I knew it was time to cut ties with her. She insisted that we could remain as friends and she would try her best to not be so distant. But after pouring out my emotions, she understood and I walked away. I wish her nothing but happiness, but I know I can’t be around for it. More than a year has passed and I still feel so selfish for ruining our friendship. I still miss her so much and there hasn’t been a day where she didn’t cross my mind. She used to be my source of comfort, telling me that everything is going to be okay. -I just need someone to tell me that everything will be okay...- I believe this song is a wake up call. It’s time for me to trust that I can find comfort in myself. Thank you Porter, your music has helped me so much through the years. It has given me something comforting and a reason to try my best to move forward with my life. (Edit: Thank you to everyone who took the time to read this.

"if i send this void away, have i lost a part of me? when you wake you’re bargaining for the promise to come back" What a beautifully sad way to describe depression; I can tell Porter has lived this. I remember a time when the endless void in me felt like it was an integral part of who I was. During that time, I would wake up every morning and think "At least at the end of today I can come back here and sleep." The only thing that would get me out of bed each day was the bargained promise that I could come back and sleep if I did what I needed to do. Every day I'd tell myself I was "defective." "Oh there must be something wrong with me..." Porter understands this sort of suffering and I think it's incredible that he can convey it through his music to comfort those who are struggling. To those of you living those feelings right now, I'll confidently say that it does get easier. Every day that you're getting up, making yourself breakfast, getting yourself to therapy...whatever it is; that's a day you're moving forward toward something brighter. These are undoubtedly difficult times and being forced to stay inside is going to be especially difficult for those with mental health issues. Reach out to your friends/family if you need it; it's always okay to ask for help. And if you know someone who struggles with depression, anxiety, etc, be sure to look out for them. You never know how much a simple check-in could drastically impact someone's day for the better. Stay strong, everyone.

I'm glad I am in a better place that I can do that as well. Thank you.

[@OneEyed8135]

You literally just explained my feelings, Everyday i feel defective cause all i do is go to school, come back and lay in my bed. But there is a happy feeling i get from knowing that ill get to come back to this place and sleep everynight. Its a place i can go to when i need comfort.

[@Tam3]

Thank you for addressing this

[@stichesdog18]

I know this comment is 3 years old, but I wanted to say thank you for saying it. This stuff hits super close to home and listening to the song it made me feel like there was hope but looking at the lyrics, it made me feel like I was wrong and that I was hurting those around me because of my actions. But seeing your perspective on it made me think that maybe I'm in my head too much and I need to look at these from a different angle. I hope you're doing well :)

[@keh8336]

There is so much I should be proud of. There is so much in life worth living for. Yet I am not satisfied with myself. The overwhelming anxiety and depression are “the signs that you needed to change. Heed all the ways you’d been thinking.” For everyone feeling this way, I hope you will wake up one day with no expectations of what comes next in life and find clarity from simply being you.

[@Bear_420__]

I have tears weeling up in my eyes from reading this....... thank you..........

[@fouldockhag]

Thanks. I'm 28, will be 29 this year. I recently lost my job and I have this overwhelming dread about where I'm going in life, or rather not going. I plan to move very soon, and have been feeling like I'm on to more of the same, dead end job to job, living my slow meaningless existence. But I honestly don't know what life will bring me and remembering that thrill keeps me going. Some days are harder than others, and reading stuff like this is an excellent reminder that tomorrow can be different. Sorry for the novel in response, just wanted to show my appreciation. Thanks again

this song is everything i needed to hear. the vocals switching back and forth at the end was so emotional for me... for so many reasons. thank you porter

[@SpiralSpeed]

It feels miserable, terrible. This despair of having failed endlessly and barely succeeding enough to scrape by. But this song represents that struggle in such a beautiful symphony, shamelessly echoing vulnerable feelings in a mix of sorrowful and uplifting melodies. Pure genius, and in effect a comfort to those past memories.

[@MoriPika]

I like how all these songs are so relaxing, truly comforting. This is the song I would scream to the top of my lungs to on a mountain. Let all my sins be gone, let the pain go away, pull the stress out my heart, cry until I can't anymore, and finally feel like me, even if it's just for a second. Thank you Porter Robinson.

[@timothybelen722]

I always shed a tear every time I listen to this song. It has always given more hope even when I feel hopeless, whenever I feel sad, overwhelmed by adulthood and alike. This song has saved me a lot of times, from my own despair of being too much, the sorrow and the fear of not being enough. Thank you Porter, this song is a heritage. Thank you for saying something comforting.

When I listen to Porter's song I always have that strange feeling like " how can we have individuals who are so good at something like music, transmitting soothing energy and peaceful vibes, and at the same time as a group fail at so many things and self-destruct?" I makes me so sad that as humans we simply are unable to seize the simplicity of love and spread it...

[@TommyPhani]

I found this song in late 2021 when I was at my worst: unemployed, poor, soul-broken... It helped me to get some beliefs in 2022. In 2022, I had a new job and improved my finances. Met my GF in late 2022. Now, although we are to face some issues and challenges, we always find "something comforting" inside each other. Just want to say thank you for the song. Other listeners, you may be fine, if it is not today then we will have a better day tomorrow. Don't fall!

[@legoboy-ox2kx]

Dang, the opening line "If I send this void away, have I lost a part of me.", that just hit me like a ton of bricks. Totally realte to that. If I try and fix my issues, I might lose something I like about who I am.

@@Keepmovingson I'd agree it's better to work on bettering yourself, but my point mostly applies to personality and mental health, which is more complicated.

this entire album is releasing at the perfect time for me. I'm shifting from dark, minimal DnB to more diverse, melodic music, and the whole message of trying to regain a passion you've lost is something I'm really fucking feeling with my life right now.

Yes! I asked myself "when new song from Nurture is coming out?" I'm looking at Porter's channel... and I see new song! Nice how Porter put his normal voice (sounds a bit like Madeon) and with Get Your Wish effect... and DROP! I see how whole "Nurture" will be awesome!

[@davidliu4608]

I love how real Porter and digital Porter are mixed into the same person near the end. To have Virtual Self and real self mixed like that felt very symbolic somehow. Thank you for writing this. To tell you something comforting Porter: even if you’ve achieved tremendous success, it’s normal for people to feel unhappy. We feel incredible when we achieve them, but then we’re always looking towards the next thing and come to chase more, exactly as you’ve described. You’re not at all alone in this feeling. It’s kind of nature’s way to compel us to keep doing more, for ourselves and for humanity in general. But we’re always chasing happiness. A quote from Sam Harris’ book Waking Up: “I’m not denying the importance of achieving one’s goals, maintaining one’s health, or keeping one’s children clothed and fed-but most of us spend our time seeking happiness and security without acknowledging the underlying purpose of our search. Each of us is looking for a path back to the present: We are trying to find good enough reasons to be satisfied now.” I recommend that book, but for the timebeing, know that you’re not at all alone in this feeling.

[@CarlMakesVideos]

I like this, I feel like I can hear a synthesis of different influences and peers Porter has talked about in the past. I would like to see how it plays live, both from the position of "I wonder if there's an extended version, because parts of this SLAP and feel like they end too soon", as well as "would porter legitimately sing the vocals into a mic, and manually plug in and unplug the filter/processor during the parts where the voices switch back and forth".
