8 years later at 31 years old I still come back to this song when having a depressive episode. I’ve never found a more relatable piece of work created than this song.
Can I just copy and paste the original comment? Lol dude I can't explain everything that's happened to me the last 3 years. Imagine EVERYTHING happening. Watsky is a legend tho, dude features or is featured on the dopest underground tracks ... Spose? The Palmer Squares? Dumbfoundead? WAX? The list never stops
zeke morris I made love to this song. I don't mean played it while I had sex. I mean put my actual penis inside of the sound waves the song emitted. It was magical.
Dear George, I'm a high schooler with a pretty comfortable life but sometimes it all feels so hard, and I just want to lie on the floor for two weeks and not get up. If you read this, I want to thank you for this song and the rest of Cardboard Castles for getting me through the times when I want to give up on everything. Thanks, A fan
nat hey, I’ve discovered Watsky just recently and I’m kind of in the same situation as you are. Out of curiosity, how are you doing now? You posted this comment 5 years ago so high school must probably be over for you😂 ....so how are you?
Alien Bacon I'm not the same person as the one guy you're looking for a response from, but I had a similar situation. Struggled with really bad depression throughout most of my adolescent years with it peaking during senior year of high school. Really no other reason for it other than it was just how I felt. Until eventually I started pushing out of my comfort zone, exploring new ways to combat it. A lot of times, people will make their depression worse just by focusing so much energy in to it. It's a huge pit fall and it keeps sucking you in further and further. You have to learn how to remain optimistic through the sorrows and understand you're gonna make it out of that. You may begin to out grow all of the things that make you feel depressed, and overcome it that way, or if it lies in other areas, you can learn to accept things and not let them affect your day to day life. Life feels so slow in the moment but moves so fast when we look back, which I think is one of the easiest ways to get us down. Just the feeling of not going anywhere. You just have to know, that you got this. As cliche as it is, most of the time, the only person who's stopping you, is you. Try to put out more positive thoughts than you take in, and if you can avoid negative people, do it. Even if it's a good friend that's constantly bringing you down for no reason, you don't need that negative energy put into your life. Don't be afraid to try and help other people who are struggling, but also don't feel weak for not being able to. Another piece of advice is love everyone, but love yourself first. It's not selfish to love yourself. You spend 24/7 in your own head, so perhaps you should love the person you are. It's obviously not simple, or else everyone would be happy. We also live in an age where people find sadness as social bond, which I feel is dangerous for a lot of our youth. I'm only 20 now, but these last two years I've lived much more than I have my entire life, all because I've taken steps towards being a more happy person. Go tell someone you love them, and tell them you love yourself and you're proud of who you are. Don't wait for other people to change who you are, but try your best to get where you wanna be one day. Don't be afraid to be lazy some days, you have to understand sometimes we need breaks. But also don't let yourself lose by never putting in work when you have the effort to. This is primarily me talking to myself, and the advice I'd give to me years ago. I'd probably think it was some bullshit, but then I'd tell myself to be more optimistic. I saw Watsky this Wednesday, and honestly the concert was on the worst night possible, but I knew I could work it out and make it. So I pushed myself to go and had a wonderful time. You should really see him live if you ever have the chance. If you can't afford a ticket, hit me up and I got you. Spread love, and enjoy your life while you have it.
nat, Hang in there bro. I went through a tough time after i was injured in Afghanistan. Addiction, depression, even suicide attempts........talk to someone and remember that you are worth it. If i can get through it and come out a stronger man, so can you. I know that you posted this 6 years ago, but you never know when something will come out of the past and help you in the present.
It's actually inspiring that you responded so long after. Thank you. I'm certainly going through my own struggle currently, as I think all who are here are. Best wishes to you.
This song is very meaningful to me. I know its "hey asshole" but a lot of watskys songs are very sad yet have a very hidden motivational value. Like how the color slowly comes back through the song. And just listening to the lyrics. 80% of the time after i listen to one of his songs i feel stronger happier and more emotional. I believe watsky is a very good person. To me he doesn't write songs. He writes shit that punches me in the feels and then helps me up and lets me stay the night at his house. His stuff is art.
Haile Yuen kid cudi does that for me. watsky still has some polishing to do before i put him on that level. hes got some ridiculous potential though, i wish i could pinpoint what his sound is missing, but im no expert. i just know that his delivery isnt as hardhitting for me as kid cudi or eminem.
Found this song through my highschool chorus teacher and have been listening to it for the last 10 years. I have only grown to understand it more and more throughout the years. It always hits hard
I'm sitting here, in front of my computer, tears running down my cheeks. Thank you. Thank you so much. I don't have the answers. I don't know what has been happening in my life. I've developed low self esteem, and sometimes I just can't be happy. I just don't want to get up. I thought I was broken. But then I heard this. It seemed like it was saying, "It's okay. No one has all the answers. Nobody is always happy. You'll be okay." And right now, I just needed that. I needed to be told that I wasn't broken. I needed to be reminded that I'm not alone. I needed so much, but I was too afraid to ask. Thank. You.
Same here I used to listen to this a lot back in 2014 but I didn’t cry until now that I’m 22. It reminds me of how los and lonely I felt in high school. Beautiful song.
Watching this video 2 years on and finally getting it. Had an interview for a high end company that could have put me on a fantastic path. Safe to say I royally fucked it up. Watch this to remind myself that I can't stand around doing fuck all. Just got to take that punch and keep going.
Aiden Green I had some tough times some time ago , for private reasons which i prefer not to share publicly . but this music , gave me the strength to get up . day after day I felt I had more strength inside me ... I thought about very bad things in this period , but with courage and determination I am slowly finding myself . thanks to songs like this I found the courage to record my own music , and thanks to music i'm picking myself back up . when everyone laughed at my back , I went in my basement alone with my guitar ; and in doing this i found the spark i was looking for . I didn't have the courage to publish my songs until recent months and I found this courage thanks to the words of artists like George . I love this kind of passion . Take care , a big hug , Sonz
+Aiden Green got an interview at basically the only real place to work in my town and I work there now.. :') this song makes me wanna cry when i think about how I didn't even want to get out of bed... why I keep pooting one foot in front of the next... haha...
So a quick update for anyone who gives a fuck. I gave myself that kick and now I'm at University. I'm at Newcastle University in England and I'm currently studying IT. I doubt he'll ever see this, but thanks Watsky. You gave me that kick I needed to keep going and now I'm trying to make my life better. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you've done.
This song is a perfect one to listen to while battling depression. "When you take a punch, don't you ever forget Why you get up and you put one foot in front of the next." You know a song is good when it actually inspires you to take action.
+Sara Horton I'm almost convinced this song is about clinical depression. As in, actual desperate need of medical/psychiatric help depression, not just "i'm feeling sad" depression.
I'm right there with you. Everyone I know thinks this song is depressing, but when I'm feeling like I don't want to get out of bed and the world hates me. Something about this song makes me smile.
I'm so glad I found this song. I'm going through some depression, this song made me happy. Thank you for making the music that you do, it makes a difference.
James Montgomery it does. Getting through it sucks. Just know it's alright to be sad. A very wise man told me once. If someone doesn't like you for who you are, don't change for them, find what makes you happy and do that, you don't owe them shit.
MAN it's been a minute since I listened to Watsky. shame on me for forgetting how great he is. this song right here and Sloppy Seconds are some of my favorites.
Watsky is perfection. I'll always love my second tattoo, his lyrics that saved my life. Not many artists put emotions into their music, yet he does. beautiful.
Love it, beautifully done and hard hitting song. I'm an asshole and I've been wrong before but I have been down and had to lift myself up. Lyrics like this keep my spirits shifting upwards. You gained a new fan.
So as a depression sufferer, I'm just saying this the best description of depression ever. And, oddly enough, I play it when I need motivation. It's like he takes all the punishment I can dole out on myself on him in this song.Thanks Watsky and Kate.
I have cried and yelled along with this song more times than I care to count. There have been times where I felt like I couldn't continue anymore and this song has helped me pull through. Thank you Watsky for giving voice to how I feel every day and trying to show the light at the end of the tunnel.
Prodigy Theory Lmao, the old "get a job" line. How exactly would working at Walmart make me any smarter? Also, why would i wanna move out of my parents house when i'm not 18 yet? I don't have to pay rent, buy food, wash clothes myself or any of the sort! All my friends are nearby and so on :) How am i acting like a hotshot? I am by no means saying that i am cool, just that you are the opposite
life isn't all roses and candy at any point in your life. Also, when you are 18, do you just magically turn into an adult? haha, i'm 17 and have alot of friends who are older, yet way more immature than me. You are a child just as much as me buddy, especially when you use duckfaces and hashtags...
Becoming an adult takes time and maturity. I do not comprehend what urged you to insult me for no reason. Maybe you're having a bad day? Maybe you're insecure about your physical appearance? I have no idea. The only thing I know, was that I was giving support to Mr. Watsky here, and then received caustic remarks from a literate (though oddly incompetent) stranger. Meh, I no longer care- I've grown bored over your petty conversations.
In my early 20s, this was one of the songs I would play when I was going through waves of depression. Still hits me in the feels and is aging beautifully. ❤️
I love this song so much!! I found this song in the midst of clinical depression and it describes the depression very well. It is by far my favorite Watsky song!
This song makes me so happy yet want to cry at the same time. It's so beautiful, and the video compliments it so much. :-) This song also helps me, and I sing it whenever I'm feeling down! 💙 Thank you so much to both George and Kate!
I'm probably over thinking this (A+ habit I've got), but to me this was about getting through a depressive episode. And even if it's not, I'll always think of it that way, and love it regardless.
Well what I got from wasn't from a depressing episode I thought it was for dealing with depression itself. I suffer from Depression and yeah this song does helps me when I'm feeling really down. Depression sucks and I wouldn't wish it on anyone it's horrible to deal with.
Me: I- Family: We get it. You love Watsky. You think he is a musical genius with amazing songs. You. Love. Watsky. You think he is absolutely adorable and fantastic.
Lauren Lombard Calling him a perv for thinking she is pretty is more of an insult to her imo. Although hitting on a girl on a random RUclips video is pretty sad.
Wow I'm impressed. That's actually totally not the style of music I usually listen to, but this was freakin' awesome! I don't know why you haven't made it yet I mean you're an awesome rapper. Great lyrics and you're hella cute too.
Its one of those songs you listen to get you through the next breath. shits going to get better. there is such beauty in this song PLUS that Watsky :) just gotta keep telling myself shit will get better....
Anyone notice the editing mistake at 3:40? I've watched this 100 times and just noticed it now. They messed up something and it went all funky yellow on the blinds. To be fair, the DOP on this was brilliant. The color scheme and introducing the colors in from black and white as Watsky starts realizing things about himself was just freaking brilliant.
It depicts perfection and ability passed regular human ones. The flow is impeccable, smooth and commendable.. as a song is a master piece. Technique and professional performance ufff . Awesome!
Kate Nash is so beautiful can't keep my eyes off her in this video. Also, Watsky's the fucking man. This track is great. Thank you for this. This is the type of music I need, gotta stay clean how hard it is. I'm NOT relapsing again
of all youre songs watsky this one shows you have depth and insight as some have commented it depicts depperission surprisingly well, better than any song i have yet heard from anybody. with the inherient quality of raising the human spirit instilling understanding and hope in equal measure. every time i listen to this it reinstills strength of spirit ,from me and those like me i thank you sincerely
This is my 1year old son's favorite song. If it plays he will run from wherever he is to listen to it. And if he's crying and i play it he will stop crying. He doesn't do it with other song, just this one.
It's weird to think that that kid's 6 or 7 now, he maybe doesn't even remember this song, hell you probably don't even remember this comment, but it's so weird to think he's so much older now and most people reading this don't even realize it.
@@feribaddie I'm 13 and my dad has been playing Watsky songs since as long as I can remember. Now he has kind of moved on from Watsky but I still listen to Watsky everyday. Specifically this song was on a lot.
Watsky, thank you for this song. Your my hero. And I love you and your music. Your music is beautiful. .and I love every single song. I hope to save the money to be able to come see you and meet you. .my 11 year old daughter has a signed pic from you. From my sister. .its amazing. I just don't know what I would do without your music..you've helped me through some really heavy and hard times. . . I can only repay you with my love, my faithfulness of being such a strong and absolute fan. Thank you so much💓
This song is literally what depression feels like. This song also makes you smile. That's some crazy ass magical shit right there :D I fucking love this
Watsky seems to know how depression feels. This song is so bittersweet it tears me in half. I feel like the asshole in both parts of the chorus. The one being spoken to, and the one speaking. The sun IS shining...
My girlfriend overdosed 4 days ago, and coming across this after years of not hearing it hits differently. This song is a wonderful metaphor for disassociation and the lack of motivation that comes with clinical depression, or in my case MDD. Losing the ability to feel emotions while also simultaneously feeling your nerves being pulled taunt is an extremely overwhelming feeling. The beginning sequence in greyscale resonates with the emptiness, and metaphorically I’m only about half way through. I don’t see the colors, the lights, even my own hands look alien to me. There are a lot of comments about this song saving them, but I don’t feel saved. I feel like this isn’t a promise of better days, it’s an allegory of living with a mental disorder that will never leave you, playing the song on repeat feels appropriate for the cycle of mania and the deep pits. This song gives me hope, not for me or her, but the people who can bring themselves out of it, and I can’t help but feel envious of them. Things may not always get better, but there are the moments with color, saturated with emotion and relief, and as short as they may be, they’re what we have to look forward to. The lyricism is beautiful, and gives me the same vibes as some of Chris Cornell’s work, despite the completely opposite sides of music. Worried moon, seasons, and like a stone all give me a similar feeling of hopeful sorrow, if that makes any sense. I’ll stop rambling and leave you all to your days. Stay alive and keep your heads up, no matter how hard it is. It’ll come back to you, you’ll find a place where you’ll be okay, and you’ll see how much your life changes.
This is the most emotionally beautiful thing I have read in a long time. And here it sits in a youtube comment section. I am sorry for your loss. I hope you can see through the darkness. Take care of yourself.
Thought I'd lostened to this long enough to not cry, but when that cup turned red 😔 didnt know he had a music video, this is one of my top 3 watsky songs. Bless ya George!
Amazingh0rse No it doesnt, how would you know if hes been sarcastic or not, and i wasent typing on ur post, he can reply for himself, he knows how to type,
charlotte mcmanus there's an interview somewhere on youtube where he talks about it. he basically says it makes him feel scummy for putting ads on his youtube videos and doing ads for money because he doesn't need to since he gets money from his music in other ways.

I love how through the video the colour slowly starts coming back.
Damn, I barely realized lol
"color" if you live in America. "colour" if you live mainly anywhere else.
***** That has to be the stupidest attempt at a correction I've ever seen..
It's true tho
***** Both are acceptable. Color, easily. Or, you pronounce colour with a hearable "u".

+WZRD702 oh wow how did you..
+PeepsILoveEllie I'm not following, is there a joke going over my head?
no. I just realised I couldn't swallow either. :)
PeepsILoveEllie Oh :) Alot of people don't understand what I mean, it's one of my first physical reactions to the feels. :P
same...
This song has given me the strength to deal with life for 7 years now
Can't believe it's been that long ago
I feel this
Watsky is why me for more time that I could remember...
sameee. almost 9 now for me
Watsky is perfection. I'll always love my second tattoo, his lyrics that saved my life. Not many artists put emotions into their music, yet he does. beautiful.
+Paundering Pretty May i ask what that tattoo says?
so glad you're alive
+ASilenceSoLoud It says "I'm an asshole"
+Garden. savage
Thanks... Now I have to listen to Savage Garden, damn it.
Oh. My. God. KATE NASH! Dude, just that made me wanna listen, just as much as Watsky's movement, and of course, the song is amazing!
Love it, beautifully done and hard hitting song. I'm an asshole and I've been wrong before but I have been down and had to lift myself up. Lyrics like this keep my spirits shifting upwards.
You gained a new fan.
who cares?
Ohh V1perz
As old as this comment is of mine, I think you do.

Oh I know, i was just being a passive-aggressive smartass. Can't take comments on this site seriously :P
xD
Beautifully put dear I agree 110%
So as a depression sufferer, I'm just saying this the best description of depression ever. And, oddly enough, I play it when I need motivation. It's like he takes all the punishment I can dole out on myself on him in this song.Thanks Watsky and Kate.
That first "Hey asshole" in the beginning always gives me goosebumps
I have cried and yelled along with this song more times than I care to count. There have been times where I felt like I couldn't continue anymore and this song has helped me pull through. Thank you Watsky for giving voice to how I feel every day and trying to show the light at the end of the tunnel.
When someone you've never met fits your entire life story into 4 minutes and 14 seconds...
Sara Campbell exactly
Love this song. He made his way up to my favorite hip hop artist. Keep pushing Watsky!
#YouGotThis
bet he is so proud to be a goat - bearded duckfacing 40 year old mans favourite artist....
Prodigy Theory
Lmao, the old "get a job" line. How exactly would working at Walmart make me any smarter? Also, why would i wanna move out of my parents house when i'm not 18 yet? I don't have to pay rent, buy food, wash clothes myself or any of the sort! All my friends are nearby and so on :)
How am i acting like a hotshot? I am by no means saying that i am cool, just that you are the opposite
Oh, I did not realize I was speaking to a child. Embrace your freedoms now young one, life isn't all roses and candy when you're out on your own.
life isn't all roses and candy at any point in your life. Also, when you are 18, do you just magically turn into an adult? haha, i'm 17 and have alot of friends who are older, yet way more immature than me.
You are a child just as much as me buddy, especially when you use duckfaces and hashtags...
Becoming an adult takes time and maturity. I do not comprehend what urged you to insult me for no reason. Maybe you're having a bad day? Maybe you're insecure about your physical appearance? I have no idea. The only thing I know, was that I was giving support to Mr. Watsky here, and then received caustic remarks from a literate (though oddly incompetent) stranger. Meh, I no longer care- I've grown bored over your petty conversations.
In my early 20s, this was one of the songs I would play when I was going through waves of depression. Still hits me in the feels and is aging beautifully. ❤️
Greatest song ever made. No exaggerating either... Exactly how I feel right now. This CD has pretty much changed my life. Thank you!
Kate Nash is SO gorgeous omg. This song is so pretty...I love it. Everything about it is perfect.
I love this song so much!! I found this song in the midst of clinical depression and it describes the depression very well. It is by far my favorite Watsky song!
10 years later and I still come to this song when I'm depressed and pulls me out
3:50 to the end of the video is so cute awh, watsky & kate are both adorable
I love how the video starts in Black & White, then slowly things turn to color. The symbolism in the video and lyrics are AMAZING!!
I'm glad i smile now :) coming back here 7 years later. i love my life....i hated my life at the time this song came out now i love my life
Im bummed the fuck out and its really scary how much I'm relating to this song.
MarissaMacMarissa you feeling better?
DualWield Gaming easier said than done. But that's the only way forward..
Do Subie with the Suburban Derek I'm not sure why this didn't show up in my notifications, yes I am, thanks :)
MarissaMacMarissa sweet. Me too :) apparently not listening to system of a down is a good way to become happier
MarissaMacMarissa that's just me wen I'm sick
This song makes me so happy yet want to cry at the same time. It's so beautiful, and the video compliments it so much. :-) This song also helps me, and I sing it whenever I'm feeling down! 💙 Thank you so much to both George and Kate!
Hands down one of the best songs about depression I've ever heard.
The first year I watched this I never noticed the colors slowly coming back, and now it's my favorite thing that keeps me coming back.
I'm probably over thinking this (A+ habit I've got), but to me this was about getting through a depressive episode. And even if it's not, I'll always think of it that way, and love it regardless.
That's what I got out of it.
The song is, as far as I can tell, about wanting so badly to get out of a depression but no matter how hard you try being unable to.
That's the nice thing about art, you decide for yourself what it means!
As a manic depressive person I can confirm that this song sounds like the anthem tracks to it
Well what I got from wasn't from a depressing episode I thought it was for dealing with depression itself. I suffer from Depression and yeah this song does helps me when I'm feeling really down. Depression sucks and I wouldn't wish it on anyone it's horrible to deal with.
i love how the colour slowly comes back
Thank you for making music about things that really matter.
wow two of my favorites together. How have I not seen this sooner!?
This remains one of my favorite videos. Such an important song to so many of us.
OMG! Kate looks so pretty and her voice's so sweet
It doesn't matter how bad of a mood im in that damn eyebrow thing he does at the end cracks me up every time
oherien lol same
I always come back when my mind brings back this song is like traveling in time
I loves this album. Pretty much every song has a catchy hook that get's stuck in your head. They are somehow goofy and deep all at the same time.
I don't see how talent like this couldn't go big
I've been feeling exactly like this for years, i can't believe that someone actually put it the same way i feel it in a song :') thank you Watsky!
This song is still hitting effortlessly hard over the years… I wish that it… never mind…
This video needs SO many more views. Incredible work!
I lost my wife last year suddenly. I still struggle everyday. This song hits so different now. RIP Brittany
praying for you bro
Sorry to hear that!! One foot in front of the next Brother!!
I"m sorry to hear that, brother. Stay strong and all the best to you.
You'll meet again some Sunny day
Remember, you're as strong as an O-A-K!😊
he looks like an average everyday man. but he has real kickass talent. wow.
Ten years later and I'm still not sure if George ever really realized some of the masterpieces he created
This song is so good to get back up in sad and lonely days
Me: I-
Family: We get it. You love Watsky. You think he is a musical genius with amazing songs. You. Love. Watsky. You think he is absolutely adorable and fantastic.
welcome to the family
@@IanCookUS YESSS
I'd like to know how many of these views are mine.
Jon Berry Yep, seems just about right.
Jon Berry you both spent 91 years+ listening to this? O_O
LeapingDodo Its more like 4 years each, if constant
32.1667 years
Reading this comment 4 years later is pretty surreal
Is it me or is Kate Nash GORGEOUS!
Eyebrow game is strong... Look at those things wiggle.
Weirdchick27 hey you're gorgeous you got a guy?
@@HolyAct1 perv alert. you really think youre gonna get a girl through youtube comments?
@@imprettycool8860 Not taking any sides, but as much as your right, it is technically possible. But that did make me chuckle
Lauren Lombard Calling him a perv for thinking she is pretty is more of an insult to her imo. Although hitting on a girl on a random RUclips video is pretty sad.
Wow I'm impressed. That's actually totally not the style of music I usually listen to, but this was freakin' awesome! I don't know why you haven't made it yet I mean you're an awesome rapper. Great lyrics and you're hella cute too.
He has made it.
I know that he's very famous and goes on tour all around the world but I mean being in the charts, on radio and TV
***** He was on Ellen.
I know, he was twice there
Its one of those songs you listen to get you through the next breath. shits going to get better. there is such beauty in this song PLUS that Watsky :) just gotta keep telling myself shit will get better....
Just started tearing up tears of splendor listening to this. Such a beautiful song.
This song is a miracle !
It really is. It got me through a lot man 💯
Anyone notice the editing mistake at 3:40? I've watched this 100 times and just noticed it now. They messed up something and it went all funky yellow on the blinds.
To be fair, the DOP on this was brilliant. The color scheme and introducing the colors in from black and white as Watsky starts realizing things about himself was just freaking brilliant.
Best song I've heard in a while
Needed this today/once a week since it came out. Thank you.
I wasn't expecting a lot from this song just because for the title : "Hey,Asshole" But dude wtf I love this I'm chilling so much with it o/
fucking weeb
Houlalala.
Never teared up from happines while being called an asshole until now...
Bro I’m still listening to this in 2020, anyone else?
I have never met anyone who listens to Watsky in real life
Me too. It's sad
They're tough to find lol. When I went to his concert a couple years ago, a ton of people went, and just put a smile on my face
I've met one irl, and it was awesome.
Listening in 2024 mate
Definitely my Favorite song by him along with Sloppy Seconds! Both have such powerful meanings to them and amazing lyrics
Once in a while I just come back. Soothes my soul. And I don't know why, and I don't know why, and I don't know why...
Nicee
It depicts perfection and ability passed regular human ones. The flow is impeccable, smooth and commendable.. as a song is a master piece. Technique and professional performance ufff . Awesome!
Awesome, perfect performance.. beautiful, impeccable flow.. it is a big.. WoW!!! Love it Jakei.. Glad you still around

Kate Nash is so beautiful can't keep my eyes off her in this video. Also, Watsky's the fucking man. This track is great. Thank you for this. This is the type of music I need, gotta stay clean how hard it is. I'm NOT relapsing again
+Asshat818 thank you brother, it's been hard but I'm hanging in there.

Cardboard Castles = SO MUCH FIRE, I love it all :)
I watch your vids :)

+Brighton Palmer That's great thought of you!
Please come back to dramalert
This is my 1year old son's favorite song. If it plays he will run from wherever he is to listen to it. And if he's crying and i play it he will stop crying. He doesn't do it with other song, just this one.
That is so sweet
I just imagine your kid saying "hey asshoooooooole"
It's weird to think that that kid's 6 or 7 now, he maybe doesn't even remember this song, hell you probably don't even remember this comment, but it's so weird to think he's so much older now and most people reading this don't even realize it.
@@feribaddie I'm 13 and my dad has been playing Watsky songs since as long as I can remember. Now he has kind of moved on from Watsky but I still listen to Watsky everyday. Specifically this song was on a lot.
Those eyes of yours Watsky!
Watsky, thank you for this song. Your my hero. And I love you and your music. Your music is beautiful. .and I love every single song. I hope to save the money to be able to come see you and meet you. .my 11 year old daughter has a signed pic from you. From my sister. .its amazing. I just don't know what I would do without your music..you've helped me through some really heavy and hard times. . . I can only repay you with my love, my faithfulness of being such a strong and absolute fan. Thank you so much💓
I'm fucking addicted to this song.. THANKS WATSKY!

This song is literally what depression feels like.
This song also makes you smile.
That's some crazy ass magical shit right there :D
I fucking love this
Just what I was thinking after my 5th time listening to it :)
Watsky seems to know how depression feels. This song is so bittersweet it tears me in half. I feel like the asshole in both parts of the chorus. The one being spoken to, and the one speaking. The sun IS shining...
My girlfriend overdosed 4 days ago, and coming across this after years of not hearing it hits differently. This song is a wonderful metaphor for disassociation and the lack of motivation that comes with clinical depression, or in my case MDD. Losing the ability to feel emotions while also simultaneously feeling your nerves being pulled taunt is an extremely overwhelming feeling. The beginning sequence in greyscale resonates with the emptiness, and metaphorically I’m only about half way through. I don’t see the colors, the lights, even my own hands look alien to me. There are a lot of comments about this song saving them, but I don’t feel saved. I feel like this isn’t a promise of better days, it’s an allegory of living with a mental disorder that will never leave you, playing the song on repeat feels appropriate for the cycle of mania and the deep pits. This song gives me hope, not for me or her, but the people who can bring themselves out of it, and I can’t help but feel envious of them. Things may not always get better, but there are the moments with color, saturated with emotion and relief, and as short as they may be, they’re what we have to look forward to. The lyricism is beautiful, and gives me the same vibes as some of Chris Cornell’s work, despite the completely opposite sides of music. Worried moon, seasons, and like a stone all give me a similar feeling of hopeful sorrow, if that makes any sense. I’ll stop rambling and leave you all to your days. Stay alive and keep your heads up, no matter how hard it is. It’ll come back to you, you’ll find a place where you’ll be okay, and you’ll see how much your life changes.
This is the most emotionally beautiful thing I have read in a long time. And here it sits in a youtube comment section. I am sorry for your loss. I hope you can see through the darkness. Take care of yourself.
Thought I'd lostened to this long enough to not cry, but when that cup turned red 😔 didnt know he had a music video, this is one of my top 3 watsky songs. Bless ya George!
3/21/2017, and no less AMAZING then the first time heard it! How many people still listening in 2017 whenever you have a bad day?
2021
Forget going to therapy, Watsky is my therapy!
"Hey Asshole, see the sun is shining."
Music to my ears.
It has been another year, and you both make me smile ear to ear listening to this. Thank you!
song is still better 10 times then most main stream watsky why are you not famous yet
It's because a lot of people want to fit in and listen to mainstream shit. Watsky is genuinely to good for those people who don't recognize his genius
I could listen to this song for 47 hours on loop
share this video you it deserves more views
this video has been a good video it wis good so more view it video it good. /s
Learn some English, bitch.
mynamesjudge
Learn to Spell, bitch
Amazingh0rse
No it doesnt, how would you know if hes been sarcastic or not, and i wasent typing on ur post, he can reply for himself, he knows how to type,
as the previous person stated, "/s" means sarcasm. I was making fun of the OP....bitch.
hey guys he did spell wasn't and was wrong in his messages
Coming back to reconnect with this song after many years...Watsky blessed us with this masterpiece🤗
At 3:28 I think i heard a feint "Such an asshole" voice just after "Hey, asshole" line.
do you not put ads on your videos? i never get ads. which is WEIRD, cause ads SUCK, but you're so good you should get payed by RUclips videos.
charlotte mcmanus there's an interview somewhere on youtube where he talks about it. he basically says it makes him feel scummy for putting ads on his youtube videos and doing ads for money because he doesn't need to since he gets money from his music in other ways.
Everytime someone cuts me off while riding my bike, some how this song goes right in my head....
Is it the first 2 words of the song?
LOL
Watsky is the best, his music is perfect for anything to me.
