all of illeniums music takes me to another place that makes me feel like "shit. life is awful. and im loosing my mind. but despite that it's ok. im fine. everything will be okay"
What I like about Illenium is that on the rare occasion his songs are about drugs and partying (actually I think only has one song about addiction) he doesn't talk about how fun it is, it's about the struggle and consequences that come with it and not all artists can admit to their fans their problems and that's what I like about him #Respect
You helped me do away with my depression. I've loved your music ever since I watched a Destiny montage with Crawl Outta Love. 4 out of 5 of my most listened to songs on Spotify are from you! You're amazing. I love you and everything you do!
I cannot relate to this more. I am a current alcoholic and struggle everyday. Instead of looking at everything in the past as a failure, instead look at it as a step in the right direction. Thank you illenium.
4 years ago I used to promote music on YT and SoundCloud, and I remember asking illenium for the permission to use and promote his work, and he said yes, I was stuned..Now I see why, you are a grounded and a very good person. Love your music, I have ton of friends who love it aswell, and thank you for making it! Would love to see you live here in europe!
Illenium healed me from Drug addiction during my university life and music came over this and a Rehab was making EDM Music for the depressed and addicted ones!
wow i just woke up to this. im an addict for 13 years. i never knew my favorite producer had addiction issues. i love how he found creativity opposed to drugs. this is beautiful! wow im blown away. illenium you have helped me sooo much through my addiction. i have 1 year and 5 months clean off hard drugs. thank you for your music you inspire me you have held my hand through the toughest times in my life lots of love 💜❤💙crystal
One night I had so many terrible thoughts in my head I was youtubing music to make me feel better. When I finished a song called Reverie from Illenium it hit me so hard in the feels that I once the song finished I simply thought "I want to make other people feel like this" now thanks to illenium I am trying to learn music production and in turn make other people feel something like I did because of this amazing artist.
Sebz that’s so awesome! His music is so powerful. The first time I ever heard his music was the song “It’s All On U” and I literally had to pull my car over cause I had so many emotions going through me I couldn’t focus on driving it was so powerful. Good luck on your musical journey! If you ever need music production/life advice hit me up at SLFLSS music on SoundCloud or any of my socials I’d love to hear your music!
I love you Illenium. I've been listening to your music since 2016 and I've struggled with depression and addiction and your music is pure therapy. I saw you perform at Lost Lands 2017 and I literally cried. I'm currently 17 days clean from opiates and you're truly an inspiration.
music has saved so many lives it's bonkers. imagine a world without music. there would be no one to relate to in your darkest times that you can't speak out about. there would be no tropical island to escape to when your house has a bad atmosphere. & no way of finding musical related love (at festivals and events). music is life.
Paton Malley o nick miller/Illenium is one of those rare artists that doesn't make songs about partying and it's about love and life 💖and that's what I like about his music
I love you Nick, you saved my fucking life and I’m beyond proud of you for reaching this point. If it wasn’t for you, then. God knows where I’d be right now. 🖤🖤
This guy gave me the strength to overcome a very difficult road I was on, it was like his songs put everything in the right perspective. Literally the final piece of the puzzle that I needed, i can proudly say it saved my life in so many ways
Thank you Nick for staying strong and getting past this you truly are an inspiration for people to get past their dark times and your music especially 💕👏🏽
I have heared a lot of stories about addiction and now I can really fell how it is felling through your music. I have searched on Internet about your story to understand better. I can only say that I have a belief in God. I know not all people belive in God but for me, He helps me to get out of problems or even addictions . So, I can say: The belief in any God (depend on belief, there are different Gods) can help you make through it (like in my situation) in the easiest way possible or better than you thought. I love your music and I respect you even you have a belief or not!
I f#$@ing love you, Nick! I can relate to this on every level imaginable. I’ve seen the darkest days in my early 20’s and I almost never got a second chance to turn my life around. You have a platform now and you’re choosing to use it for good to help others. You’re a hero to many. Infinite love for you.
I'm so glad you made it through that brother... so that you could later come and do what you do to help countless others. The earth is blessed to have you on it. Thank you man ✊💙🌌
I wish there was no such thing as addiction. High props to you man for beating your battle n’ sticking through it. That takes so much commitment and “want” to wanna change yourself n’ get outa whatever the case is. Unfortunately my 19 y/o sister has been using Heroin since she was 16 & I found her about 3 weeks ago on the kitchen floor freezing cold and blue in the face. Her body temp was 70 degrees and I thought that was the last image of her I was gonna see in person. Of course I’ll never get that picture out of my head nor will my rents, but luckily we had 3 Narcans left and the 3rd one brought her back. As of now she’s in rehab but this isn’t the first time. She’s taking this all out on my rents like it’s their fault n’ it’s just not fair. I wish addicts were able to see the other side of people’s feelings for them, meaning getting help and how we obviously don’t wanna lose them in any way. I truly hope my sister can defeat this like u did. You’re an inspiration to many and I highly appreciate that💙
thank you for your music illenium i was an addict for almost 4 years and as soon as started listening to your music first song was beautiful creatures and something about just gave me some kind of hope ive been clean for 2 years and making my own music now
The first time I heard take you down, I immediately thought of the days when I was in the throws of my own addiction, despite having no clue that's what the song was about. And then I learn that he overcame addiction too, and it only nave me appreciate his music even more
I care about you, you 100% deserve happiness and recovery. I’ll always be here for you and cheering you on from the sidelines, even if you don’t know me personally
I've been struggling with my own addictions and the first part of this video resonates with me so hard. The only time I feel at peace is while I'm at a rave or festival. It's honestly one of the only things that keeps me from wanting to not exist anymore. I wish I had a 10th of the talent it takes to make this music. EDM is my passion and one of the only things keeping me alive, I will not submit to my addictions!!
Nick, thank you for sharing your story. I'm so happy that you were able to channel your struggles into creating beautiful music that makes the world a better place.
This is the only person on earth that still looks God-like when wearing that ny cap. Love illenium! When mss releases any illenium song, i dont even bother pressing and check out if the song is good i instantly put it on top of my playlist. :)
So happy your life was spared that night you got kicked out rehab. I've been there dude and it's in those times we find our mission to help others. Can't wait to see you perform again!
I m happy that you got out of addiction,your music is realistic and there is a lot to learn from it you are a true inspiration to yourself and to your fans,love you
For some reason... U song literally makes me cry... Like everytime I listen to any of ur songs... I just feel lonely, alone, wanna cry... But still those feelings makes me happy😭😭... Thanks bro thanks a lot
Every time I open Spotify or youtube Illenium will be the first playlist or his channel that I check, hoping to see some energy pill to continue the day.
Those are some very true and meaningful words, but you also speak words as strong as those through your music as well. I'm extremely happy that you were able to overcome that challenge and are able to continue to make some amazing songs and bring light to people's darkest days. Much love Illenium.
Growing up I was never able to love myself and be happy for the last 3 years musics been my way of coping, listening to the lyrics and feeling what you felt but in a different way. To me musics everything now it helps with everything and we can't thank the artists enough. But for you illenium I'll see you at bass ships in a couple weeks
Im so proud you can speak about it and show people that you made it, maybe its an inspiration for many people. You helped many people with your music (me too) and thats what im thankful for since day one.😁
Your music has positively influenced my own growth as a person; like life, it is such an emotional experience and I truly admire your character 😭 Thank you Nick🙏🏼
Your song❣ Take You Down ❣ always makes me cry genuine tears of joy and sadness because it reminds me of the darkest time of life but at the same time ended being the eye opener that saved my life. The worst part about addiction is the lives you hurt and effect with your problems and selfishness that comes from addiction, especially when its your family and people you could never live without. I smile now knowing I can atone for my wrongs and those people who really mattered and understand are still here with me on this journey of recovery. One day at a time 🙏 16 months sober of narcotics and still going ❤ 🙌
It's okay dude, I'm 13 year old fan and im inspired to become a DJ myself because if you, your a legend who made me change my life and my future and I respect that.I went to your ascend tour at red rocks and it was extremely incredible, your the first concert I have ever been to in my whole life ever.
@illenium i hope you realise ..I am one of your biggest fan... i personally believe there is no another artist that can bring music to life the way you do.. when i get high.. your music is the only calmn i need..
Illenium's music has saved my life. A hero and an inspiration for all his fans.
honestly mine too❤
If you love him check out "Divite" his music is magical bro
What's divite?
all of illeniums music takes me to another place that makes me feel like "shit. life is awful. and im loosing my mind. but despite that it's ok. im fine. everything will be okay"
love you!!
Chill Nation hi chill nation! I love Illenium too!
You got great taste
What I like about Illenium is that on the rare occasion his songs are about drugs and partying (actually I think only has one song about addiction) he doesn't talk about how fun it is, it's about the struggle and consequences that come with it and not all artists can admit to their fans their problems and that's what I like about him #Respect
“Addiction is fucked. It makes you fall in love with something that can’t love you back” damn that hit hard
*What if I’m addicted to illenium's music?*
Shit..
We are
Sunyaan I shouldn't have laughed but I did 😂
It’s a healthy addiction 😁😁😁 Illenium is a drug for our souls
It's something that loves you back ^.^
Simply the best artist out there in our generation!
@WolfX Okay cool..Totally respect that :)
Don't forget Seven Lions and Droeloe
@WolfX Respect your opinion, but i love literally all of his songs, old and new
@WolfX Shit ? what do you mean by shit ? His songs may not be the incredible or out of the world but they definitely aren't shit.
@WolfX I can do nothing to change your mind but to respect your opinion, good sir...
You helped me do away with my depression. I've loved your music ever since I watched a Destiny montage with Crawl Outta Love. 4 out of 5 of my most listened to songs on Spotify are from you! You're amazing. I love you and everything you do!
Artimus-25 I can’t remember who made that but that was sick
I cannot relate to this more. I am a current alcoholic and struggle everyday. Instead of looking at everything in the past as a failure, instead look at it as a step in the right direction. Thank you illenium.
Illenium ❤️

you are lucky you talked to him.
After I broke my addiction, i bought ableton the next day...
Freestyle Ash not many ppl have money left over after breaking their addiction to buy ableton lol but alrighty.
@@LUImusic856 it was in reference to an illenium meme, but money is tight with alot of people including me.
Freestyle Ash oh im dumb lol sorry
Freestyle Ash 😂😂😂 LOVE THAT MEME!
What's Illenium's blood type?
Illenium healed me from Drug addiction during my university life and music came over this and a Rehab was making EDM Music for the depressed and addicted ones!

His music has helped me through some of the darkest days of my life, and helps me fight depression every single day.

Go find out, you won't regret it
One of the best edm artist
One of the best edm producer
I love you Illenium. I've been listening to your music since 2016 and I've struggled with depression and addiction and your music is pure therapy. I saw you perform at Lost Lands 2017 and I literally cried. I'm currently 17 days clean from opiates and you're truly an inspiration.
I have all Illenium songs he is a great producer and DJ. His songs really talk to me.
Thanks for sharing your story Nick !
We are very proud of you,much love ILLENIUM ❤❤
It’s crazy how nick describes music , it’s like a thing you can hold onto when you feel all is lost ... it’s so similar to way I describe music
music has saved so many lives it's bonkers. imagine a world without music. there would be no one to relate to in your darkest times that you can't speak out about. there would be no tropical island to escape to when your house has a bad atmosphere. & no way of finding musical related love (at festivals and events). music is life.
Keep them beats coming man 😌😍 Love from India 🇮🇳
Nick is a super intelligent guy. I love rewatching his interviews. Love him. So much!
I started to produce music because of Illenium, he's the best and my favorite music producer, keep doing what you do best!
Keep doing your thing man you're fans got a lot of love for you and your music including me. I'm honestly happy you became so successful.
ILLENIUM!!!!! You are the best!!!
Your music got me THROUGH my addiction.
This is why Nick will always be my favorite
Paton Malley o nick miller/Illenium is one of those rare artists that doesn't make songs about partying and it's about love and life 💖and that's what I like about his music
your music makes me high as hell, takes us out of depression,makes us happy. so i really don't need drugs.. Thanks for that nick.
Love from india❤
@those who somehow doesn't know the name of the song playing in the background :
song : Illenium - Take You Down
Everytime i feel sad, down or depressed, your music always healed me, Thank You Very Much for making such a beautiful song
Illenium came thru and shared his experience. Bless!
I bought Ableton the next day.
ps. Illenium is tha BEST
I love you Nick, you saved my fucking life and I’m beyond proud of you for reaching this point. If it wasn’t for you, then. God knows where I’d be right now. 🖤🖤
Code 1 Media and why is that ??
This guy gave me the strength to overcome a very difficult road I was on, it was like his songs put everything in the right perspective. Literally the final piece of the puzzle that I needed, i can proudly say it saved my life in so many ways
beyond happy you're doing better. You're music has touched the hearts of millions and we cant wait to see what's in store!
Thank you Nick for staying strong and getting past this you truly are an inspiration for people to get past their dark times and your music especially 💕👏🏽

Thank you illenium and thank you excision for having me discover this dude
Yo you literally have saved my life. Everyday in rehab i would put on your ultra set and it would just take me. I love you thank you so much.
I wish there was no such thing as addiction. High props to you man for beating your battle n’ sticking through it.

Yep, heroin is fucked. Anyone who can live sober after taking that shit is incredible. Hopefully I'll be done with it one day
I care about you, you 100% deserve happiness and recovery. I’ll always be here for you and cheering you on from the sidelines, even if you don’t know me personally
