    The fact you wrote a song that was funny to me as a child but extremely deep and moving to me as an adult is incredible. Even moreso is the fact you went with it when eveyone saw your song as a joke and not the deep piece of art it is, and now because of that millions have listened and heard the meaning behind Chocolate Rain.
    What an incredible artist and song.

    First heard this song when I was like 8 thinking it was famous because of his voice. watching it now all these years later hits so hard. this is a masterpiece. timeless. youtube's 18 year playlist appeared outta nowhere but I'm happy it's here because rewatching years later as an adult is special❤🍫🌧

    People commenting that he was ahead of his time. No he wasn't, we just weren't listening tell the scanners. We weren't listening tell the protests. We weren't listening tell people reminded us that people have been singing and screaming about this for years. This song is just one of the most upfront yet hidden song I can think of to say it. We all know it we all meme it. That's probably way out was chosen for the scanners. He wasn't ahead of his time we were just too naive.

      I was confused when a song about racism went viral. Now I'm just surprised that most people didn't even know it was about racism. It isn't exactly subtle.

    It's crazy how no one reads the lyrics. When I was young I thought it was about poop but holy crap it is deep. Still 10/10
