I hate when people say negative things about artist going mainstream. Try to be happy an artist is becoming more successful instead trying to be some underground hipster. Have faith in an artist to make songs they like and not play to the crowd. This song is awesome, but change is unstoppable.
+Group Think that's a very eloquent and intelligent way of putting it :) especially the part on having faith in an artist not playing to the crowd, and how "change is unstoppable". I agree; I think experimentation should be encouraged.
Literally was just sitting in my college dorm, and this song suddenly came back to me. I could only hum the melody, but finally I could piece together some words. So glad I remembered this song. Haven’t heard it since freshmen year.
Taylor Benson exactly!! I spent my entire day listening to it and I'm amazed by this masterpiece! so many emotions in the same music! I'm litteraly in love of this song!
I will never ever stop listening to this song. Lo-Fang, you are a very talented man and I hope more people appreciate your music. I love your music! Especially '#88' and 'When we're fire, cello version'. Thank you for making my life happier. You are my go to music artist. : )
Can't look away, oh Give it up If nothing matters Give it up If nothing matters Give it up It will get better Turn and run This time I'm certain Turn and run Nothing's working Turn and run I know it's hurting Can't run away Oh I won't turn back I need to know Will it ever change? Will it ever grow? The thing that I felt before This paradise has disappeared Now it's crystal clear Wow it's crystal clear Burn it up Cause nothing matters Burn it When nothing matters Break it up The glass will shatter Tear it down If nothing matters Tear it down If nothing matters Wear it down If nothing matters Will it ever change Will it always feel the same It always feels the same Does it ever change Or does it always feel the same It always feels the same Can't run away Oh I won't turn back I need to know Will it ever change? Will it ever grow? The thing that I felt before This paradise has disappeared Now it's crystal clear Wow it's crystal clear And I know that the phantoms on the edge of my dreams Are shapes I created but they still just disrupt my sleep An idea growing quietly from something within Spreads quicker than the cancer that destroyed your mother’s skin And it feels like a shadow at about 5am When the streets are so empty and the fragile can’t pretend Can we all rush in Get me back into the trees If this dream wasn't happening Would it still feel as real? Will it ever change Or will it always stay the same It always stays the same Does it ever change Or does it always feel the same It always feels the same
I can't believe it's been 2 years since my comment. However, I come and listen every day. It takes me to other lands every time I listen to it. I listen when I'm happy, I listen when I'm sad, I listen when I'm angry, but I always listen. Non-stop. A very special piece. I hope he will have a concert in Turkey and I will run away from home and go to that special concert.❤❤❤
Be me, in college. Stressed as hell, desperately making a list minute attempt at some homework I had put off, which there was really zero hope of me finishing in time, not that I was going to let that stop me from feverishly working on it as procrastinators do. It's 12 am, and I'm sitting in my college town's blessed 24 hr coffee shop. A place that is exactly as you imagine - kind of grungy, but warm and cozy, with enough nooks and crannies to sit in - the altered upper floor of an old house, with two other restaurants on the bottom floor. I'm sitting next to a wall of windows, looking over the sleeping city. Restless college students looking for a place to work, a place to meet up for some good natured socialization. As the hours pass by, fewer and fewer people are left inside, with even fewer patrons coming in. Now it's 2 am. Inside the shop are the leftover insomniacs. Night owls, misfits, maybe a person or two down on their luck and just looking for a warm and quiet enough place for a few hours of some sleep. Maybe a fellow procrastinator or two. The cafe is largely empty except for this small number of us, leaving a soft feeling of solidarity, but also, maybe some melancholy loneliness, exacerbated for me by the mounting pressure of my impossible task. It's important to me, but apparently not important enough for me to have gotten it done like my reasonable classmates did. 2 am. The barista has been there - they're one of us. Tonight, as on all the overnights, they are the sage. There with us, and also facilitating our liminal, in between sleepless overnight. No longer the feverish 11pm-12am mood of frenetic and happy college students, the music changes. And they chose Lo Fang. This music was the perfect atmosphere to pull me out of my head, get me to take a breath. A glance out the window to the sleeping city. An appreciative glance at the barista, calmly busying himself with something or another as the hours of his unbusied shift tick by. And I'm back at my work. Lo Fang will forever more take me back to that moment. There's something special in this music. While I have to say that it unfortunately is always combined with the melancholy and stress of that moment for me now, it still feels like it has inescapable relatability, and sense of distant but known otherworldliness that characterizes liminal moments like those 2 am all nighters.
So, I asked him why was it called "#88"? Here's his answer: "i called it 88 because it was the 88th song in my rc50 loop station -also for 88 keys on the piano and something about the infinity symbolism as well" Y'all thank me later.

same here, haven't heard this song in years because I couldn't remember the name. I just found it again and it's just the same I always felt about it. 🖤
I feel this song so hard. I try to fix everything and change everything, I'm pretty much every kind of activist you can think of. I haven't cried in months because tears wouldn't come, I don't feel empathy unless I force myself and everything is just boring and wrong and unjust. Illogical. I hate it all so much and I want to fucking die, but this song made me cry. I feel more listening to it than I have in months.
As a black transwoman, this song got me thru some tough emotional times. Now that I am more emotionally and psychologically sound in my growth--hearing this song makes me love and appreciate my growth mentally... 🤗💓
Es increíble pensar que artistas como este no tienen el reconocimiento que merecen, su música es tan hermosa y original... pero bueno, lo comercial hoy en día es el trap :p y por cierto creo que soy el único comentario en español eso también dice mucho.
Huge fan of ratata but always felt like it lacked some vocals, thanks to lo-fang for adding those vocals. Remember we are the people of good music taste lets appreciate this gift shall we?
Todavía siento el frío de la mañana saliendo del apartamento en Harlem, veo ese letrero HAVE A GOOD DAY AT SCHOOL LOVE YOU. Mi cabello recién cepillado con amor vuela con el aire casi congelado. Y desayuno un café con cremme Brule y una copa de vino tinto. Ese fue unos de los momentos mas felices de mi vida.

Was literally going through this yesterday....
this is probably my favorite song now because when I listen I feel so many emotions at once like how
Taylor Benson exactly!! I spent my entire day listening to it and I'm amazed by this masterpiece! so many emotions in the same music! I'm litteraly in love of this song!
Taylor Benson remember....from your perspective..... but yeah... I love it more because it relaxes me
It's a rollercoaster. And the orchestral parts are beautiful.

Can't look away, oh
Give it up
If nothing matters
Give it up
If nothing matters
Give it up
It will get better
Turn and run
This time I'm certain
Turn and run
Nothing's working
Turn and run
I know it's hurting
Can't run away
Oh I won't turn back
I need to know
Will it ever change?
Will it ever grow?
The thing that I felt before
This paradise has disappeared
Now it's crystal clear
Wow it's crystal clear
Burn it up
Cause nothing matters
Burn it
When nothing matters
Break it up
The glass will shatter
Tear it down
If nothing matters
Tear it down
If nothing matters
Wear it down
If nothing matters
Will it ever change
Will it always feel the same
It always feels the same
Does it ever change
Or does it always feel the same
It always feels the same
Can't run away
Oh I won't turn back
I need to know
Will it ever change?
Will it ever grow?
The thing that I felt before
This paradise has disappeared
Now it's crystal clear
Wow it's crystal clear
And I know that the phantoms on the edge of my dreams
Are shapes I created but they still just disrupt my sleep
An idea growing quietly from something within
Spreads quicker than the cancer that destroyed your mother’s skin
And it feels like a shadow at about 5am
When the streets are so empty and the fragile can’t pretend
Can we all rush in
Get me back into the trees
If this dream wasn't happening
Would it still feel as real?
Will it ever change
Or will it always stay the same
It always stays the same
Does it ever change
Or does it always feel the same
It always feels the same
Foxerrr you forgot the *mad solo with violin*
Thanks!
Chorus is wrong
Foxerrr Japanese message and acupuncture
Foxerrr I
this song makes me cry for some reason
still really nice tho
Following Lorde brought me here.She is the gift that keeps on giving, this is beautiful.
This is the type of music I listen to while making odd finger gestures before I tackle cake orders. It helps gets me lost
Le transport est immédiat cette légèreté du son et d'une autre contrée ..c'est magnifique ...
This is such a grower... just gets better and better
I love his music, so different and beautiful
Monique
my friend and i love this song because of its upbeat music, yet sad lyrics. We're giant sad music nerds, and this song is absolutely gorgeous.
Tillie Amen :'v
I have no idea who Hannah is but i'm happy she made a lot of you know this great artist...

hey thank you for sharing this beautifully worded moment *_* i really appreciate you listening
The production on this track...indescribable

No matter how big, small, strong or weak you are. The franchise will double it!
Hahahhahahaha
Why would I thank you later, when I will have forgotten about this song, instead of right now that I'm listening to it? I mean, thanks tho
Had an incredible opportunity to watch them live at Bardot in Hollywood. Gaaaah I loved it.

I love this song. Divorced. Single dad. For the past 6 years. And I love it. This song sums it all up for me.

I met him and he have me a hug ;D yay it was amazing I bought a shirt right after that and now I LOVE him
Ahh, heard this live when he opened for lorde at the Cosmo in Vegas on the 16th. I immediately loved it. Sounded awesome live.
Listening to this, especially the vocals on the chorus, reminded me of earlier Sufjan Stevens. I recommend his album Illinoise.
Honestly this song is a fr vibe I love it!
This song creates so much nostalgia.
All of your comments put a soft smile on my face. So glad you all enjoy this too :)
Perfect song to do interpretive dance! Lots of emotion :)
I know what im doing for the next 6 minutes and 48 seconds!
Abselutely love this song!
You rocked last night in Dallas !!!!!!
Dallas show was awesome
There is no reason why I should’ve been listening to this album in 6th grade, but Lord do I miss it. Pure nostalgia
you're an emotional genious... so in love with your words, music, universe. Thank you !
This song is like that moment when you fall forever right before falling asleep and you don't know whether you are scared or relieved
I thank Chanel for introducing me to Lo-Fang. Love his voice.
Heard this from a songza playlist, unbelievable.

I used to listen to this song in grade 11. I remember it feeling perfect and like it knew what I felt. 5 years later and it still feels the same.
