Thank you Watsky. Your poetry and music has inspired me beyond words. Your ability to stay true to yourself regardless of how many views you get is unlike what many can say. I just wanted to thank you for your artistry because you have been a big inspiration to me. As a result, I decided to pursue my dream to start my own RUclips channel and begin to give back to the world by inspiring people to chase their dreams. Thanks again Watsky, your words are profound and they have resonated with me. Peace and stay true brother.
sadly because its not about money or women or drugs. its about life and the reality we live in, an a lot of people don't like to face something like that(just my opinion)
To those who've just experienced the greatness of Watsky, welcome. However, I do need to point out a few things. This isn't 'new music' and it doesn't matter how you've found him. He's rather old for a performer (in terms of years with a stable career and fanbase who love him dearly), he's done free form poetry (check out 's is for lisp') for longer than he's made music. He's a human being who talks about his mistakes so we'll talk about our own. He's been therapy for many of us, when we just needed someone to listen to and remind us that it does get better - if you stop having so many expectations and enjoy the ride. Watsky isn't new, your experience with him is. It doesn't matter where you came from, you're here. So again, I say... welcome.
+Twiggy Morris I kind of get a little hipster "I listened to Watsky before you guys thought he was cool" vibe going on right here. Other than that, good comment.
Hunter Hughes I really dislike how, any time someone mentions they've been a fan of something for a long time, they automatically get called a hipster. Since when did being proud of the time you've devoted something become part of a subculture no one cares about?
+Twiggy Morris guess I have become jaded from people making comments like mine. I apologize. I have been a fan of watsky for a while now, myself. You've definitely given me another perspective to it, one I used to have. Thank you.
I need someone to reply to this who genuinely got effected by this in a way like a arrow through the heart so I have hope in people for taking things to heart like this. I don’t know anyone else right now aside one person that can appreciate this like the beautiful art it is. I can’t imagine living a life where you’d never be touched by this but everyone else around me IS living that life.
When you came to brisbane Australia in 2014 I think it was I saw you perform this twice once in the spoken word session and again during the concert with the band. I will forever remember your show at the sweat pool that was the Alhambra lounge. This song has helped me since I was a teenager to remember to believe that I matter even though im reminded constantly thats a lie. But your right I prefer it to the alternative ive got 2 gorgeous kids now that I need to ensure they smile more then me and not end up like the fishermen. Love your poetry watsky. Its kept me here all this time. And will continue to. Let's not even get me started on roses and conversations when my dad was having heart issues and cancer. Reapect.
Absolutely!! Don't know if it's my imagination or not, but I swear his voice breaks with emotion towards the end - "Someone please freeze time so I can run around turning everyone’s pockets inside out. And remember, you didn’t see shit."
God, when he performed this live he put so much emotion and movement into it, it was amazing. I got goosebumbs just listening to this with the memory of it.
It's like... I can listen to this a million times over an there's a new meaning each time... I wish this guy would get more credit for his work because damn.... That hit me hard...
Holy... fucking shit man... I've heard this song a thousand times, and cried my eyes out to it before, but just now... Just now, I truly felt something. Something I've never felt before. Thank you so much Watsky. You create a link between my dead brother and myself. At least in my heart, you do...
Wow, I know the feeling. Every time I sit down to program, I wonder what I can do that hasn't already been done a thousand times before. But the only thing to do is something, anything, to learn and grow and gain a better vantage point. Maybe my purpose can be seen from up there.
I've been a fan of watsky for years and his songs and poetry have never lost meaning depth or soul. I love him for all he is, mistakes and stupid actions included. he's accepted himself as imperfect that's what we should all take notes on, how to love our imperfection.
Not only is this my favorite right now from Watsky(even though everything is amazing) but the comments are great on this video too. My type of people. I saw him in New Orleans on the 24th of October and it was an amazing show, and I met him and he was pretty great. And his poetry is amazing. He did this one and part 1 of tiny glowing screens and I was amazed. So inspiring!!
I couldn't agree with you more, Mikayla. Every time I give this another listen I peruse through the comments...I'm pretty sure this is the only video on RUclips that hasn't been swarmed by trolls and the lowest denizens of the web. Would love to hit one of his shows...I envy you! :)
You'll be able to see him one day and be just as amazed as me haha. Its was absolutely great. And I can't wait wait until he writes and records new songs.
This is something I heard years ago and had almost forgotten about, but it's honestly never meant more to me than it does now. Thanks Watsky, I really needed to hear this. Keep keeping it real.
"Hey, you hear the one about the fisherman who passed? He didn't jump off that ledge he just stepped out into the air and pulled the ground up towards him really fast, like he was pitching a line and went fishing for concrete" This is by far the most influential video i have ever watched. This is insanely effective about today's world and I congratulate you Watsky!
"Man is literally split in two: he has an awareness of his own splendid uniqueness in that he sticks out of nature with a towering majesty, and yet he goes back into the ground a few feet in order to blindly and dumbly rot and disappear forever." Denial of Death by Ernest Becker
"Hey, you hear the one about the comedian who croaked? Someone stabbed him in the heart, just a little poke But he keeled over ‘cause he went into battle wearing chain mail made of jokes" Ah man. This song was the first thing that came to mind when I heard about Robin Williams. :( What a loss for this generation.
I first watched this 3 years ago and I remember liking for the way it sounded and because i thought it was deep even though I only understood 2 lines. Now I'm listening to it and I'm suddenly understanding what it all means.
+Colby Jennison we need each other. Love each other instead of manipulate and use each other because the house we live in is made of ourselves. The more anger and resentment we create with our actions, the less amount of time we, as a species, will survive. When people choose ego over each other, it starts a cause and effect chain that leads to bad things EVERY SINGLE TIME. That's pretty much what the gist is (for me). Much love fellow universe citizen.
"You wouldn’t respect me if you heard the typewriter chatter tap tap Tapping through my mind at night" I connect to this line so much. It's amazing how well this is put together.
life is one of the most profound, memorizing beautiful things our mysterious universe has created. When we adjust our perspective to the context of the universe, we see just how rare and beautiful it is to experience existence.... Just look how hard it is to find intelligent life, the odds are astronomical. Maybe life is just an random chemical reaction but hey, so is everything else in the Universe. There are 7 billion people on this earth and EVERY one of those precious lives matters.
To be honest, I watch this every time I need to fill myself with emotions and understanding, that I'm not the fucking only person in the world and I will be forgotten quite soon after a pass off. Thanks for this video, George.
Man, this song always hits me like a sonic brick between the eyes. So good! Still thanking the Epic Rap Battle guys for introducing me to this amazing artist.
tra brew i like the comedian line, but the mention of chainmail made of jokes bothers me because it's implied that the jokes are the problem. chainmail does not protect against stabbing so even if you had real chainmail and you got stabbed, you'd still get stabbed.
Josh Cummings i understand the line completely. my problem with it is the lack of understanding of terminology. most people seem to think that it will protect against ANYTHING, there are even some idiots i've known that think it's bullet proof.
ishouldplayzelda Idk about "bullet proof" but they can't make chain mail that blocks bullets, generally speaking? Call me an idiot, but that surprises me...lol
"The reason there's smog in los Angeles is because if we could see the stars, if we could see the context of the universe in which we exist, and if we could see how small each one of us is against the vastness of what we don't know, no one would ever audition for a McDonald's commercial again." Freaking best line I've ever heard in any song. It hits home because it's true and when we hear it, we all know it.
Once you take out the concept of music having to be correct the world is your instrument and you are unstoppable. music is what soothes you and makes you proud, it defines you and its a tiny part of your life that controls you. Music can be anything. So this IS music and it is one of the greatest thing I have EVER heard.
Damn, i remember when this came out... id stay up all night and listen to cardboard castles and linkin park... now im staying up all night again and reminescing on when times were harder... so glad i found watsky hes made my living hell of a life so much more... worthwhile
I thought this was going to be a actual song, and then when I heard it I was so shocked I forgot to breath. "Hey you hear about the guy that died from listeining to Watskys poetry because it was so fucking amazing"
simple? i get what your saying but most artist cant even comprehend what hes writing here. no "lean" or "laffy taffy" wheres the snap pop and lock dance? no offense to people who write that style of music but they dont have the brain capacity.
haha my favorite "don't tell em, don't tell em, don't tell em" its all they say! watsky speaks the truth! thats not a simple task, especially how society is now
Randy Loera i know this first hand, if only you could see my english class.... my teacher is a philosify teacher and if she asked what the meaning of live is most kids would say, internet, or shoes. its a sad sad generation. and here i am stuck in it, god forbid i do anthing original id be 'Weird'. weird is good, strange isnt.....
"The reason there’s smog in Los Angeles is ‘cause if we could see the stars If we could see the context of the universe in which we exist And we could see how small each one of us is Against the vastness of what we don’t know No one would ever audition for a McDonald's commercial again And then where would we be?" Why do I feel this one just glancing over the recommended page
If we could see stars, if we could see the context of the universe in which we exist, and we could see how small each one of us is against the vastness of what we don’t know...
I didn't quite get the part where he wants to stop time and turn everyone's pockets inside out... Is that just the child in him wanting out, or is there a deeper meaning?
i think it essentially represents him wanting to be a kid again. to a simpler time when life wasn't so complicated and their was so much to worry about but eventually everyone has to grow up.
I think it means he wants to expose what is inside you, inside your pocket is a metaphor. What do you keep hidden from everyone else that is making you into the person you are. That is aa Jessie we all should deal with and there is a correlation between holding things in, not being open to allowing everyone else to feel what you feel, and depression and other mental illness
This is the first video I've ever liked, shared, commented on, and saved. Watsky is my inspiration. Watsky your a hit, your the shit, your legit. I wanna rap with you one day dude, thats a dream come true. So let me know if you see this because I'm an Aspiring rapper and I used your songs to get faster at rapping. P.S. Now I can rap faster than you

trilogy camp camp
Idk I guess we'll never know what would've happened if another sperm got their first... lol
this song takes me to a place that no other song has ever taken me, its really hard to explain
I know exactly what you're talking about
***** Slam poetry.
Austin Casper spoken word
Seth Myers That's debatable
It's slam poetry, what he does best. :)
Used this as my monologue in my Theatre class. Did pretty well.
Nyce
+FallingIntoBlack lel
Thinking about using this in prose at my forensics competition.
I did the same for a Theatre show.
I did it for public presentation.

Teddy Baldassarre Thanks for starting RUclips, I really like your videos!
Your channel seems Interesting, I'm going to follow!
Wow, 6 years later and almost half a million subs lol
Hard to believe this is 10 years old... Feeling so old.
Why isn't this insanely viral.
It was popcorn that you heard.
sadly because its not about money or women or drugs. its about life and the reality we live in, an a lot of people don't like to face something like that(just my opinion)
Randy Loera Sadly true Randy :c But, things will change. I know they will.
Randy Loera said very truly, our generation would give a life opertuinity to have 14 seconds of fame
yeah, this should totally be on Upworthy or something.

bless your heart for saying what most have us have been thinking for the longest time.
this is my first time listening to him, and I just wanted to say thank you for the welcome, I'm so happy to have found this new experience
+Twiggy Morris I kind of get a little hipster "I listened to Watsky before you guys thought he was cool" vibe going on right here. Other than that, good comment.

i have the chills why couldn't i have discovered this sooner
Agreed.
In George Watsky fashion, be happy you discovered it at all :)
I wish I could rediscover Watsky for the first time, but his music gets better and better the more you grow as a person and the more you listen to him
This will always be peak George Watsky, spoken word , truly an amazing poet
I hope he knows how many lives he changed with his work. We love you Watsky
to this day i never get fed up of this. it's just so powerful and emotional that it just summarizes so much about life in general.
Watsky's magnum opus. His songs are amazing, but this one grips my heart every time.
7 years later and I've still never heard anything more beautiful and meaningful
0:07 .... There's 7 billion 46 million people on the planet.
1:41 .... There's 7 billion 47 million people on the planet.
Watsky is beyond clever.
one of the greatest songs, and at the same time... one of the greatest spoken word peoms - of ALL TIME.
I have been listening to this song 11 years and it STILL brings tears to my eyes when listening
I need someone to reply to this who genuinely got effected by this in a way like a arrow through the heart so I have hope in people for taking things to heart like this. I don’t know anyone else right now aside one person that can appreciate this like the beautiful art it is. I can’t imagine living a life where you’d never be touched by this but everyone else around me IS living that life.
I'm here.
helps me every day. I have "We live in a house made of each other and if that sounds strange, that's because it is." beside my computer.
When you came to brisbane Australia in 2014 I think it was I saw you perform this twice once in the spoken word session and again during the concert with the band.

Fuckin' goosebumps every time man..
Absolutely!! Don't know if it's my imagination or not, but I swear his voice breaks with emotion towards the end - "Someone please freeze time so I can run around turning everyone’s pockets inside out. And remember, you didn’t see shit."
This is genuinely one of the best poems I've ever heard, and im writing my own poetry now. Jesus.
Everytime I listen to this song, by the end of it, my eyes are full of tears and my heart heavy
It is pure genius, I love it.
Same. Love it!
God, when he performed this live he put so much emotion and movement into it, it was amazing. I got goosebumbs just listening to this with the memory of it.
It's like... I can listen to this a million times over an there's a new meaning each time... I wish this guy would get more credit for his work because damn.... That hit me hard...
Listened to this song at least like 7 times and I can't shake the chills. :/
I visit this poem on the nights I feel most empty and lonely and It saves my life every time...
How have only 1 million people listened to this? This is a work of art.
this is no work of art. this is a masterpiece that poets of old would become envious of.
How am I just now hearing this beautiful piece of art??
I think of these words everyday❤😢😊
One of the most powerful pieces of music I've ever heard.
Holy... fucking shit man... I've heard this song a thousand times, and cried my eyes out to it before, but just now... Just now, I truly felt something. Something I've never felt before. Thank you so much Watsky. You create a link between my dead brother and myself. At least in my heart, you do...
I sat for 9 minutes contemplating what I just heard, and the only adjective I could think of describe this is awesome. Because it inspired awe.
Feels good coming back every once in a while
Wow, I know the feeling. Every time I sit down to program, I wonder what I can do that hasn't already been done a thousand times before. But the only thing to do is something, anything, to learn and grow and gain a better vantage point. Maybe my purpose can be seen from up there.
I've been a fan of watsky for years and his songs and poetry have never lost meaning depth or soul. I love him for all he is, mistakes and stupid actions included. he's accepted himself as imperfect that's what we should all take notes on, how to love our imperfection.
One of the best pieces of poetry I've ever heard
Every single time I hear this it gets deeper and deeper and MORE amazing
Sends shivers down my spine
This trilogy of songs gets angrier for each song.
Sarah Norén I didn't like the third one, I liked it as a song but I didn't think it was good as part of this series
Not only is this my favorite right now from Watsky(even though everything is amazing) but the comments are great on this video too. My type of people. I saw him in New Orleans on the 24th of October and it was an amazing show, and I met him and he was pretty great. And his poetry is amazing. He did this one and part 1 of tiny glowing screens and I was amazed. So inspiring!!
I couldn't agree with you more, Mikayla. Every time I give this another listen I peruse through the comments...I'm pretty sure this is the only video on RUclips that hasn't been swarmed by trolls and the lowest denizens of the web. Would love to hit one of his shows...I envy you! :)
You'll be able to see him one day and be just as amazed as me haha. Its was absolutely great. And I can't wait wait until he writes and records new songs.
This is my favorite of all the tiny glowing screens.
This is something I heard years ago and had almost forgotten about, but it's honestly never meant more to me than it does now. Thanks Watsky, I really needed to hear this. Keep keeping it real.
"Hey, you hear the one about the fisherman who passed?

Watsky deserves to be so much more known.

Ah man. This song was the first thing that came to mind when I heard about Robin Williams. :(
What a loss for this generation.
I was thinking the exact same thing
***** Didn't Robin Williams hang himself?
***** ahh thanks.
Thanks, now I'm sad again
You know something that always makes me sad? He died on my birthday
"Someone please freeze time, So I can run around turning everyones pockets inside out. And remember...you didn't see shit."
Damn dude this was deep! I love how it has more of a poetic vibe to it rather than a rap song. Just a great piece dude. Much respect here!
I definitely agree with you. It's very different, i like it. Good if you need some motivation.
Real talk!
I completely agree
This is one of those songs that is so moving you just want to reach out and give the artist a hug.
I first watched this 3 years ago and I remember liking for the way it sounded and because i thought it was deep even though I only understood 2 lines. Now I'm listening to it and I'm suddenly understanding what it all means.
What's the meaning?
+Colby Jennison we need each other. Love each other instead of manipulate and use each other because the house we live in is made of ourselves. The more anger and resentment we create with our actions, the less amount of time we, as a species, will survive. When people choose ego over each other, it starts a cause and effect chain that leads to bad things EVERY SINGLE TIME. That's pretty much what the gist is (for me). Much love fellow universe citizen.
"You wouldn’t respect me if you heard the typewriter chatter tap tap
Tapping through my mind at night"
I connect to this line so much. It's amazing how well this is put together.
I find this really really deep, and like... very close to my own thoughts.
I know a fair amount of philosophy, this is deeper than most of it
This poem always fucks me up.
.... there are no words to describe the awesome
shoutout to invisible Inc, the group that George was in before he became watsky
hes always been watsky, as that is his name. george watsky.
+Josh Brucks yeah, sorry about that. i meant before he was an independent artist
wasn't Invisible Inc after cardboard castles?
+Michael Gosling nope, it was back in 2007
Benny Forman oh, TIL.
there is an art to this song i can’t fathom
life is one of the most profound, memorizing beautiful things our mysterious universe has created. When we adjust our perspective to the context of the universe, we see just how rare and beautiful it is to experience existence.... Just look how hard it is to find intelligent life, the odds are astronomical.
Maybe life is just an random chemical reaction but hey, so is everything else in the Universe.
There are 7 billion people on this earth and EVERY one of those precious lives matters.
Samantha Bohn Oh I'd be honored! It's so fulfilling to think my words are appreciated. Thank you so much :) if it becomes a card, please let me see!
+Jesse Jacobs Would you care if i quoted you my good sir? that was beautiful.
Rune Greenfield Please do! I'd be honored!
Still my favorite watsky song ever. Thank you for creating this. Really helps me think.
To be honest, I watch this every time I need to fill myself with emotions and understanding, that I'm not the fucking only person in the world and I will be forgotten quite soon after a pass off. Thanks for this video, George.
Same-
I cry every time I listen to this freaking song
The first time heard this I teared up alittle.
This is poetry at its max! dammit can't stop listening to this piece of truth!
"Oh girl this boat is sinking.. there's no sea left for me." This music is from a Macklemore song lol. I love it.
"There’s 7 billion 46 million people on the planet
And most of us have the audacity to think we matter"
period
this gives me goosebumps.
Man, this song always hits me like a sonic brick between the eyes. So good! Still thanking the Epic Rap Battle guys for introducing me to this amazing artist.
00:58 Best line in any song ever.
I like the one about the fisher man
tra brew i like the comedian line, but the mention of chainmail made of jokes bothers me because it's implied that the jokes are the problem. chainmail does not protect against stabbing so even if you had real chainmail and you got stabbed, you'd still get stabbed.
ishouldplayzelda it implies that the comedian was insecure and used his jokes as a way to combat this

Totally Not Conner when you take a punch, don't you ever forget...
This is why WATSKY is the Realist MC.... LOVE YOUR POETRY THAT COMES FROM THE HEART...
Any rappers that hear this and still wanna call themselves the realist need to sit down. Watsky speaks the truth.
This was amazing, thank you pandora
I know same
Samee
...oh..my...fucking...god... I have no words right now for the amount of truth that just poured out of this song...
Once you take out the concept of music having to be correct the world is your instrument and you are unstoppable. music is what soothes you and makes you proud, it defines you and its a tiny part of your life that controls you.

This was the first song I heard from him early this year, I love it and I have loved him since
This is so deep
"The reason there’s smog in Los Angeles is ‘cause if we could see the stars
If we could see the context of the universe in which we exist
And we could see how small each one of us is
Against the vastness of what we don’t know

And then where would we be?"
Why do I feel this one just glancing over the recommended page
this song is fucking great why havent i saw it earlier
This song just rko'd my heart to the bottom of my chest
I'm using this as a poem in speech and debate 👌
Make sure to give credit to Watsky, he worked hard and stuff... plagiarism is bad.
Lexco. skittimations oh yeah dude. Definitely giving credit
I was going to do the same thing
If we could see stars, if we could see the context of the universe in which we exist, and we could see how small each one of us is against the vastness of what we don’t know...
when your drunk friend is getting deep and tell you to look this up😂
Literally @ me for the exact thing I just did get out of my bedroom window
im the drunk friend
Your unbelievable watsky your music is always awesome man, never stop
Bro, that's deep
this. is. beyond. beautiful. ♥
I didn't quite get the part where he wants to stop time and turn everyone's pockets inside out... Is that just the child in him wanting out, or is there a deeper meaning?
i think it essentially represents him wanting to be a kid again. to a simpler time when life wasn't so complicated and their was so much to worry about but eventually everyone has to grow up.
Jack Lomas theft or snooping
I think it's saying he wants to make a difference in the world that people will notice even if its miniscule. I may be wrong however.
I think it means he wants to expose what is inside you, inside your pocket is a metaphor. What do you keep hidden from everyone else that is making you into the person you are. That is aa Jessie we all should deal with and there is a correlation between holding things in, not being open to allowing everyone else to feel what you feel, and depression and other mental illness
This is the second part of another of his works' and he wants to turn the pockets inside outside to rid the world of the tiny glowing screens
this whole song gives me goosebumps and the ending makes me tear up...
I watched this on my tiny glowing screen...
we all did buddy, well all did, and thats what hes talking about.....so deep
holy shit this just changed everything damnn
