this song has got me thru some of the toughest times of my life something about it just encourages me that every thing will be all good eventually

[@Soniti1324]

How does this song not have 1mil+ views? This is absolutely some of the most contemplative and beautiful compositions of imagery and music ever created.

[@guitarguidetv4792]

This song saved me from a bad shroom trip

[@dontsettlefor500mill]

As far as I know, that's the exclusive reason for the production of PL music...

[@meganhasty8908]

Pretty Lights is so under rated.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

megan hasty It's so true. Yet not a single person I've introduced his music to has not fell in love with it instantly. I think that's saying something more special :)

[@thegearspinner5552]

Late response, I know, but I agree with you SO FREAKING MUCH.

[@mattboy5932]

Much much agreed!

[@BluntinLikeMyDaddy]

Kevin P always all ways

[@kurodamakoto2316]

Your screen name is great lmao

[@sterlingshadow2]

I still jam to this song SO HARD 💜 Sterling and I love you so much 🥰

[@pyklwheostanzan6901]

Absolutely STUNNING album, i Need more of this in my life, desperately looking forward to some live performances! Much ❤ to All!!!

[@czolg1980]

Untill death, Pretty Lights in my head

[@epiclucya]

2019 and still kicking fucking ass. Amazing tune, shame that this still isn't represented on the radio.

[@Raehahn]

Every Pretty Lights' song you hear becomes your favorite song. There are artists who change their style to bring variety but this guy delivers a brilliant album everytime and his style always remains the same. You know a Pretty Lights' song when you hear one.

[@HuracanMusic]

BEST ONE IN THE ALBUM

[@meganhasty8908]

AAAAAAAA MENNNN

[@eatmintsblowdro24]

This album is seriously incredible

[@Sean-sl3cl]

This entire album is so underrated. No one considers this was nominated for a damn grammy and he lost to daft punk

[@fancypants-dv8qw]

Most definitely my favorite track on the album along with Done Wrong. This stuff is a step above and beyond electronic music.

[@starrproduction12]

beauty from the soul right here. a soul expansion in the making

[@dakotagreybradford]

This song is probably the most heart felt song on the album.. This is perfect in everyway..

[@thamma513]

Please bring this sound back

[@iOwnzNubz1]

this may be the most beautiful thing i have ever heard....."the time has come" is really good too

[@Rajasaurus]

Man! Why has he stopped dropping new albums? What a legend!

[@Σασηα]

Drugs sadly

[@Rajasaurus]

@@Σασηα That's heartbreaking. At his peak, he was dropping the hottest tunes.

[@liamokeefe8836]

That’s also not true.

[@tinram745]

His girlfriend left him and he got into drugs really bad. Hasn't really done anything past this album.

[@paperboy-2100]

It’s a shame..

[@michaelrumps3308]

CHICAGO!

[@sandra-dx6sw]

Unconditional love to family friend and special person ❤

[@Qigongfordthefeature]

This track is so fluid, I bet live it’s goes down .

[@loptopfloppi]

This is just.....beautiful....

[@paperboy-2100]

First 40 seconds + staring at the sky = insane chills

[@jaLECKmichFETT]

the color scheme of your videos is just magnificent...and the the sound blows minds like always. Great work!!!

[@d4sh94]

the moment this album finishes. best feeling of my life.

[@chatsenperkins1198]

This is a masterpiece... I never wanna leave it.

[@msb2infinity]

just incredible visuals ...music pure from the soul!

[@AceBreakz]

Prob already commented on this track but, Goddam PL, U killed it on this one man! Makes me feel like I'm back in CO riding in the car alone, n it feels good...

[@bluebrickpro]

Awesome

[@specu90]

this is unreal..

[@ancientsv185]

We miss you Derek. ❤

[@DerekCWallace]

This track would have been perfect for a GHOSTBUSTERS movie

[@cozywinternights]

This should have more views. PL thank you for the music.

[@seanpalacios8875]

Idk which is better this version or the remix. CMOTS is underrated

[@dvegasallstar]

on the foreals that horn tip at 345 or watever it is is that real shit.shh makes the shits on a whole nother level. i cant stop replaying that. derek wat the fuck is that

[@thesandmonk]

1:41 reminded me of 23 seconds into Forever Lost from Spilling Over Every Side and I love that. Apparently I have all these songs buried in my head somewhere. I love PL music.

[@zenobibonsai]

This tune is the dogs ding dong - Thats all! :)

[@PerforatedPaperboy]

we need you derek

[@rapGameCharizardCard]

Too dope

[@Alysonmarie4]

AMAZING, AS USUAL.

[@martchits]

This is crazy

[@smithythepirate222]

color map is just a giant middle finger to the big three. besides, you know, being friggen amazing

[@killthewhore2]

What a fantastically beautiful song

[@serabarracuda2983]

i don’t know what’s real.. until i see you again..

[@luthfiaersyanad.2058]

is it only me or do synth/electronic mvs have especially the most beautiful editing

[@bepleee]

i can't get enough of this song. definitely my favorite on the album

[@iOwnzNubz1]

[@zsssolt152]

[@The_Accuser]

One of my 3 favorite songs on the album!

[@mariannesani4449]

Is one of the best synthesis i have ever heard

[@BlubyBlubster]

This album... ♥

[@guitarfrk121]

i grew up there. that's chicao. truly a beautiful city an album.

[@jaidith111]

Love this song!!!

[@0x0x0xWIP]

The editing on these videos man.....so good

[@johnlarose7268]

we must go on and this an only yesterday, and solamente, are great tracks but everyone is great.... im a hardcore metal head and just something about pretty lights gets me to take a break from metal to enjoy DVS' soul flamed bangers

[@carlit0wai]

this and yellow bird!

[@rhysdavis6525]

I find myself returning to this song again and again. I really only have hope. May god bless me.

[@DjCoyoteofficiel]

Good present for my birthday

[@danielyankov7880]

AMAZING TRACK!

[@qbst6418]

incredible

[@chads.6518]

You Biebered here

[@bobbygrewal5547]

after watching all of these "music videos" (If I can still call them that) I don't understand why this is the first i'm seeing of this, where the visual blends with the track in a way that makes the music somehow better than it already (amazingly) is.

[@jimmybob5541]

Woah

[@dyoungjr420]

Uh-May-Zing.

[@Roses_R_redeR]

....🥀🤘😔

[@chandramaggard4208]

❤️

[@iceydaywalker9198]

The music DVS makes will live forever. Pure beauty.

[@ReillyWestOfTFP]

Sailboats and Pretty Lights compliment each other well

[@guitarfrk121]

Wow, such Animosity on Such a beautifully written song as this seems strange. Always the exception to the rule, Peace.

[@Soniti1324]

Yellow Bird is like a sunny summer day was captured and recorded to vinyl. It's just shy of perfect.

[@letsshall]

The amount of people who like music doesn't affect what it sounds like. Don't be greedy.

[@chads.6518]

Really? Thought you'd be from Spellingbee, Tennessee. Quit offending my city.

[@glmoffet18]

Damn they're all so good... but for best songs, I chose this and One Day They'll Know.

[@Ezrecordings]

Awesome tune needs some major exposure - respect to the artist!

[@xYv4Nx]

I Love this traaaaaaaaack♥♥, and the combination with the video!.

[@AustinCooper]

This whole album just leaves me speechless. Great outro for the album.

[@maxmakohin5464]

what is the style of this music? trip hop?

[@SpaghettiSession]

By 2:26 it's just too ridiculously awesome.

[@dvegasallstar]

tune in at 3:45 for the best part

[@J.5.M.]

One of the better videos IMO

[@BlubyBlubster]

See you soon at Paris

[@iOwnzNubz1]

Love the visuals

[@nicknelly1]

CHICAGO!!! HOME!! =)

[@moisesvilleda9876]

I love this video !!!!!

[@menace8012]

Chicago

[@michigan102]

very amazing

[@TheSemir99]

crazy xD

[@erikolsenbrony]

:O

[@SageO6PathzGON]

💔

[@ppcLalka]

супер! :-)

[@dvegasallstar]

the horns that start @ 3:46

[@nvann34]

J. Hofman Are those horns? Think that's a synth

[@dvegasallstar]

thats crazy

[@nihalshamy]

the picture is much more interesting than the audio actually beautiful shots

[@iceydaywalker9198]

dont disrespect DVS like that. the audio is what makes this... in fact, the visuals are just added to compliment the audio. the audio has depth like nothing else. the visuals are cool but nowhere near as special as the audio.

[@nihalshamy]

+Ryan Bergen I respect your point of view.

[@solomon7478]

Is it just me or is the first 20 seconds or so of Marvel's Luke Cage opening credits song oddly similar to the rhythm and vibe of this song from like 2:20 - 2:40?
