PrettyLights - We Must Go On - HD Music Video (official)

[@masopaso3073]

My brother died about 6 years ago. Honestly impossible to describe the griefs I feel as his younger sibling as he was my idol for all intensive purposes. He and I had not much in common at the time but a love for music which bonded us. I will never forget when he showed me Pretty lights. And I fell in love forever.and that we share forever ❤

[@MadisonRidgley]

my brother died 12/24/2016 his love for PL got me into it at 16-17 and that’s one thing we shared. i will forever thank Derek V Smith for making his healing music

[@L33tSkE3t]

It’s for all intents and purposes. Sorry about your brother man.

[@andrewjohnson2108]

Sorry to hear man, your brother was a good guy just telling by his choice of music. I've never met a weirdo or a bad guy that listened to Derek 😂

[@salochinnotlimah2406]

We Must Go On! Especially during a time like this..

[@bassmenxxx]

Yesss

[@analogfuturemusic]

very accurate depiction of the world right now and we must!

[@MrRigdon97]

To this day!

[@jackhill1825]

Just wait until what’s coming...

[@salochinnotlimah2406]

@@jackhill1825 what u think?? 👀🤔

[@trevtay91]

whenever i hear a Pretty Lights song i get the feeling that this world is so much bigger than we can imagine. Together the people, places, and all the little things all find a way to coexist and create the "Pretty Lights" that surround us all.

[@Kyli-j6g]

In the day and age we're in, young ass dults, this is the vibe i know everyone yurns for. This feeling of just pure bliss, in a world full of hurt.

[@kyrylonaumko]

I’ve been in filmmaking for almost 10 years and never seen anything more beautiful than this

[@krystleblackburn6025]

thank you

[@victoriaurso9816]

Truly a work of art

[@d-Rich34]

Yellowbird is pretty amazing too

[@thomas_lee_harvey]

That’s the acid talking man 😮😂 Nah I’m playing. It is a piece of art visually and for the soul.

[@MarceloLopez-tl9wy]

Sooooo many people don''t know they're in a dope ass video.

[@danmele1]

Couldn't be more stoked on this. For all the people out there listening to this who have been jamming PL since the "Taking Up Your Precious Time" days, you know how good it is to see him keep his roots and keep the soul/hip hop feel that leads to uncontrollable head nods. Can't wait to hear this song live!!

[@PDaley27]

any time im feeling down. i turn to derek.... this song is timeless for me. and has really gotten me thru some dark times.

Needed this at such a time. Much love!

[@calvinbrockington5974]

amen

[@cris53dodd]

Who gave this a thumbs down?! Do you just not like music in general? This song is dope, this vid is dope, and Pretty Lights is Dope. Thank you, Derek, for giving us awesome music and great shows.

[@delorianecameron5250]

This song moves me. Makes me want too endure and thrive to be a better person. Despite whatever the world may throw our way.

[@FalconXtreme1]

I feel you

[@tharbs123]

Pretty lights is a true musician and creates real music touches your soul. We must go on sings of the plights of humanity. The radio is BS, this is true music.

[@jacobl8042]

This is most definitely the greatest music project of our time and I don't really give a damn who disagrees. so much energy behind Derek's music.

[@slaytanic34]

This just shows what Pretty Lights is capable of. He can go from the heaviness of I Know the Truth, and then go back to the old style. I love everything PL has done and he never disappoints.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

This video is edited so well. Along with the music it just hits a deep spot inside me. Brings a tear to my eye and it's just life...

[@justinmuncy217]

right there with ya.

[@StokedPhilosophy]

Me too.... I saw some of the people and I knew their stories were long ones. Sometimes I can only hope to god that we find a way to go on. Any one of these people have their own set of struggles and there is a high chance that at least one of them doesn't want to go on anymore but I have a feeling they do it anyway. Life's greater purpose is not death but those who are not afraid of death are afraid of life or otherwise they are afraid of their greater purpose which is being alive in itself.

[@dereksmith3933]

This song has pulled me through the absolute darkest times in my life. This song transcends to a whole new level.

[@justinmuncy217]

you ever have a song just take you away? yeah, that's this for me.

[@apcometri1919]

+Justin Muncy this is the one

[@Tryler_]

When I first found this it was the best song in the world and an amazing feeling

[@FalconXtreme1]

Times will get bad, and the whole wide world, will come down on you.... You must go on I wish that I could tell you how I feel. It's so real, it's so real

[@Hockey933]

LOVE this old school track and i love that hes bringing it back seeing a festival set from PL when the sun is rising and him spinning his old chill beats would be the sickest thing ever...i feel like most PL fans dont really appreciate his old sound as much as they shud

[@ColoradoSoundboy]

Got to hear this live in CO 2023! 🎉

[@93Wesleyar]

I miss you Derek, thank you for shifting my perspective of what music can be.

[@yureispirit7634]

Epitome of perfection in videography, excellent song life goes on with or without us.

[@frezurmind]

I learned of this music by a homeless guy named Whiter ... call him whitey ... smooth vibez... caught it had to ask for the name of the tunes... he hooked it up... im here... and there he went on his bike (blastin this tune)rainbow antenna pulling 2 dogs on a cart attached to his bike down the highway he went .... bye whitey... thanks man ✌🏻❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Mikoo2119]

Guys. That music has no typical genre. It has hip-hop, electronic, soul (and blues?) inside. And I think that's the best thing ever invented ;D

[@wes7715]

10 years .. that doesn't even seem possible.

[@Teddybearinjungle]

Hey Derek, thank you for creating this beautiful piece of art and sharing it with us! Peace from Czech Republic :)

[@noneyabusiness6601]

Cleanses my soul!

[@Jamiethaking]

anyone who loves this song as dearly as I MUST see DVS live someday in their life. This song will literally compel you in an indescribable fashion.

[@tuukkybear7373]

Probly the most impactful music video i've seen. Thank you for providing me with this masterpiece of art.

[@mdp.33]

Pretty Lights is a vibe

[@williamswillkill]

Man, wow words can't begin to evoke the emotions and feelings you feel when a true artists is at work! thank you pretty lights for bringing true talent into a main stream focus it really is beautiful!

[@masterofbombs2]

There is literally nothing wrong with this song and video. This is the most perfect song I have ever heard. It nearly brings me to tears

[@Tgifreitag5]

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

[@Sunshine_of_love25]

I can listen to this song on repeat and it never gets old. Helps me remember no matter what happens in life you have to keep moving on. ❤

[@ArsenPatron]

Me and only another few million poeple love this. Keep it up.

[@1313Travis1313]

WOW, just WOW, this video compliments this soulful song perfectly. The exposure of the variety of people from all walks of life in this video is just astounding, sooo beautiful. It showed the happy, sad, and everything in between moments of different peoples experiences and it's just amazing to see all that, not mind edited like a freaking boss and the song itself...speachless.

[@Sunshine_of_love25]

I watched his whole tour live on twitch and I have listened to some of his music because of my boyfriend. I never knew who they were before but damn! Pretty lights is amazing! I love this song as I’m listening to it I can just picture watching it live. That was so amazing to see. I want to see him live! 💞 love this song. Especially for the new year. Times will get bad but we must keep moving! Much love ❤

[@CuzOfLove]

NOW! That's HARSH big city life! Know all to well the city of Chicago & it's just like that!!! Pretty Lights is an EXCELLENT Receiver & Musical translator for vibrations from the different parts/sections of our world ! He must be an expert listener !! Very Skillful & WELL DONE!

[@Walls_of_Sound]

Thank you Pretty Lights. You make me believe the beauty in this world...even if its for 6 minutes.

[@PorcupinePower]

Looking out the window and watching the mountains on a train from Italy to Germany on the way back to the love of my life. I've listened to this song hundreds of times and that's still what it reminds me of.

[@Dubarco]

Nothing like some pretty lights.. anywhere anytime PL never fails. see you at ultra derek!!

[@SonicGeometry]

I hope Derek stays on this tip this is the music that's in his soul, this is true art. Bravo Derek for doing what you truly believe in!

[@ioulios12]

Really nice video! Beautiful pictures!

[@pjmacone]

the emotion evoked is just unreal. I'll never get tired of this video.

[@uncledvs]

the lyrics are what the video is all about. that, and the whole concept of the name 'pretty lights' it's about what inspires us. it's about beauty. it's about life. it's about standing strong in the face of struggle and and opening ourselves up and letting the awesomeness and pure beauty and soul of the world and the people around us help us keep moving...keep evolving...keep learning. well, to me anyway.

[@djstephenpp99]

Pretty Lights Is so talented, so very inspirational keep up the great work your music is just so chill and amazing!

[@scotteberline5458]

Nice! I spot Detroit footage

[@chrisbabyt]

One word captures the whole beauty behind the concept of this video and that is, sonder.

[@MusicJunkyFunky]

Man I think I fell in Love with Pretty Lights all over again...

[@fabinou]

So much soul in this one, directly from ears to the heart. What is supposed to do music, before it was only here to make money

[@TheNickmercier]

This video encompasses what i find myself looking at, as i aimlessly walk around with PL on headphones.

[@grapeapril19]

Pretty Lights on XM/Sirius channel 51 Electric Area Wed nights from 6pm Eastern to 7pm Eastern. By the time I get home, I don't want to get out of the car......just keep on driving to hear the whole hour....It evokes the style of music we listened to at home like Cross-Collateral Passport...I just can't explain it, fantastic for the ears and soul.

[@masterofbombs2]

I love this video. it shows and somewhat emphasizes the lives of complete strangers and the small windows of the world. ones that we only get brief glimpses of. lives of people we will never see except for a matter of seconds in this video , while also incorporating the flow and relentlessness of day to day routines. the simplicity of the video simply showing us how things are compare to a linear path showing us something fabricated. it seems so natural and that's what makes it a piece of art.

[@CimplyComplex]

The last 3 minutes of this video were so beautiful and worked so well with this amazing song.

[@EuroNiniLa]

Love this song but the video is absolutely beautiful :D

[@EuroNiniLa]

Lol k *****

[@mattgable4525]

***** Cant be both?

[@JpassTheTime]

you mean "and" the video is absolutely beautiful.

[@EuroNiniLa]

JpassTheTime ...OH and did you mean You instead of you**? Lmao

[@nikkygtv]

One of my favorite music videos ever

[@xXxMETALISFOREVERxXx]

There's beauty in the lost man. It's a whole culture of it's own living and breathing, just trying to get by, just trying to go on. This video and song are an excellent way to show this

[@trumble5rgiii]

times will get bad, and the whole wide world will come down on you, we must go on

[@viprex]

So chill. Gotta love PL's chill tracks.

[@madelinelsmith]

This is what bliss sounds like.

[@NothinHoldTheFalling]

He cried a little bit, and I just saw him... and we both understood thar moment was just for us, with this lovely music surrounding us :) this melody was the witness

[@christopherbarnett2961]

Such beautiful and inspiring music 🎶

[@SynesthesiaeFilms]

Simply put,nothing but beautiful things here...

[@djustplcMario_Djust]

Magnifique mon ami !!! Bravo !!!

[@poppiflowerz]

Needed this today. #neverforget911 Thanks Derek! I miss you!

[@bradledj1]

FINALLY a song that sounds like his first two albums. In my opinion they contain the best pretty lights tunes there are. signed- old school PL fan.

[@LuciaRosselotValdes]

is amazing how something so common and ordinary is so beautiful .... great video and great song. thanks for sharing

[@jaiedormi]

1:08am on a friday N theres nothing Id rather be looking at and hearing then this. Much love! Stay strong everybody!

[@djbigeye]

True artists working together - superb

[@arjunaadjinna]

It's people like Derek Smith that gives me hope and faith that music is not dead. He changed my life, for the good. That's a bold statement, but I will stand by it. Artistic creativity by this man is unparalleled.

[@TheSSPeaceLove]

Faw.King.Dope. Let that soul shine through PL, beautiful...

[@texn333]

hope 2022 is the year derek hops back on the deck

[@DeePollyJane]

Incredible. My mind is blown by the song and the music video. Woo I see Vancouver!

[@JCFathom]

I could listen to this forever.

[@andresalejandro9991]

word

[@msch7620]

I see some images of Paris in there. I moved from Paris to a remote town in the middle of Canada. I stumbled upon your video. Part of it makes me nostalgic, part of it doesn't I miss the constant motion, the rhythm, I miss being anonymous sometimes... I don't miss the commute and the hardness.

[@ronnelparham2886]

Classic stuff, Heard this in South Carolina on the campus of university of South Carolina. This is the vibe they were on back in 2012-2013. I’m from Philly, was great to visit there and feel their vibes. This song did that for me.

[@ChilleDINJerseY]

I LOVEEEEEEEE THE OLDER TYPE STUFF PL KEEP IT UP.

[@Roche687]

Thank you Derek 👍🤗😍😘🙏

[@mindkeyper]

I'm melting in my seat right now. Thanks Pretty Lights. :)

[@bambrendo]

This video is truly a magnificent piece of art. I'm new to the genre, but seeing this song and video compiled together really blew my mind. I started watching and couldn't move until the song was over.

[@masonwoods8534]

The video you put together is incredible we must go on indeed

[@josephjohnson1456]

We must go on? Where must we go if something is holding and pushing us back? If times will get better in the whole wide world then this song deserves credit. coupled with smooth crunchy base lines this song can help to end hunger, poverty, and injustice. PL for life

[@hugboat808]

PRETTY LIGHTS PERFECTION!

[@blywhy2012]

this is one of the best pieces of film and music that I have ever seen in my life.

[@0619b]

Beautiful song and a beautiful video from a beautiful mind. You are one of the few reasons the soul in hip-hop still clings to life. Keep up the good work man, you're an inspiration to us all

[@247alps]

Derek & Krystle, this is a dope video, really has meaning to it!!! Very appreciated...

[@caliform]

Can we have top comments be about how awesome the music is? Because it is. This is great.

[@XKUNXEntertainment]

Pretty Lights with the Coronavirus playlist! Ty!!!

[@Oxycodone1]

Derek you are my favorite musician of the modern day, you and all the people that helped you make your vinyls have helped me create some of my best art work through your music, you are an inspiration to all of us! Keep it fresh D!

[@shrimpinspace779]

Still amazing 🥰

[@kiddswift927]

RIP to this song..... So beautiful

[@steamedyam]

Pretty lights has been killing it for years he gives away all his music on his website.

[@sarahariel7351]

Times will get better... (praying for our world) 🌎🙏🕊

[@FatMax420]

I wouldn't hold my breath lol. This world is shit and only going to get worse.

[@sarahariel7351]

Pessimistic

[@kmchico]

I enjoy the street performers that permeate through the video. Great stuff

[@nickpeezy42]

Brilliant.. just.. brilliant!

[@woos188]

this helps with paper so much, the flow of the beat goes with the flow of the essay, and my papers always turn out great.

[@TheMusicDeli]

can't get enough of this gorgeous piece of art. thank you, PL.

[@grwagz]

Funky beats that set your head to bobbin' like some dashboard idol. I close my eyes and take a trip on the smooth groove highway...

[@loungester]

I don't know if I should purge any penned up emotions I may have, pray for humanity or celebrate life! The track and video hit me on all levels!

[@GodlikeNL]

I really think this could be my perfect song. I was always looking for perfect songs, with no weak points. This song just massages me when I close my eyes, It's just amazing.
