Brings me right back to being dopesick, lost everyone and everything I cared about begging god to just let the next shot of heroin kill me. Thank god something deep inside me wasnt ready to give up. 5 years later I'm clean, have a wife and kids, decent job and I'm a man that can wake up and look at my self in mirror. For anyone stuck in addiction dont ever give up, it took me more times then I can count to get and stay clean. It's worth it even if we all fall a few times.
Thank you for that comment. It gives me hope knowing someone else was successful in getting sober. I want it bad but I get so down in myself and have no hope. Your words helped more than you know. Congratulations by the way.
@@emceedamage8604 thank for the kind words today was a hard day and I needed it. We junkies inspire each other to sobriety you cant do it alone. I went to NA meeting every single day when I got out of rehab, they arent my favorite but it was a place I could be safe and not use for another hour. Not to mention just keeping your day busy when in early sobirty is important. I did meetings everyday for like 3 months till I was feeling ok on my skin. If you ever need to vent bro I got u.
@@emmasherrard0222 it's not easy but trust me I was a hopeless junkie you just gotta start with hours, then days, then months then years. It does get easier every day.
Totally agree! Old-school Atmos was them at their best! The end of Old-school Atmosphere was after You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having in 2005, once When Life Gives You Lemons dropped it was very different, but overall it was an experimental album gone right. After that it's been pretty up and down with their later releases with some being okay and others not as good. I'd love to see an attempt or somewhat of a challenge for Slug & Ant to make something as great as their older albums. To have that Old-school Atmos feel; hell maybe even bring back Musab, DJ Stress, and Spawn even for an EP that'll be Legendary!!!
@@alfredobadillo2415 i really love When life gives u lemons, one of their best ever but a big styleswitch on some tracks of course. I agree with all the albums after that being a bit "hit and miss" sometimes. "Southsiders and" To all my friends " was fantastic though, "The Family Sign" really good and "Whenever" is criminally Underrated imo. "Mi Vida Local" had great moments but has his ups and downs. Delicate from that album is a top 5 track from them imo. Fishing Blues never really did it for me, not bad but im just not getting into it. Kinda have the same with the new "Word" now. FELT4U on the other hand was a super album 😁
Atmosphere was performing in Arizona's 2019 Roots Festival. During a transition between Atmosphere's songs I yelled out "God's Bathroom Floor" and sure enough Atmosphere played it live. Best moment in my life to be heard.
@@ejd1937 I was selling necklaces in the square (downtown Flagstaff) Slug and Ant came looking at them. Ant ended up getting a necklace and put me on the guest list +1 then had sushi at this place called Karma one year.
Sorry to hear this brother. Many of my friends & fam are struggling w this right now, and I’ve lost many in the last couple of years. Keep looking forward, and trust God.
I was a junkie for 15yrs I used to get high and listen to this song. Rap to atmosphere beats, all sorts of that. But God's Bathroom Floor..... That was the one that really hit home for me. Sleepless Nights, and Weeks I slept through, and the ungodly amount of people I've known who died from that shit. It started out fun for awhile, absolutely. Otherwise why would I have done it? It's just that the fun faded quickly but I didn't realize it til I was too deep. Waking up in strange cars in the desert, Sides of Highways, and just random places not knowing how I got there, I think the worst was the hospital, but it didn't matter as long as I had my bag. Now I'm 3yrs sober. This song still hits me just as hard as it did the first time I heard it. I'll never forget it, it was always this and then Sound is Vibration. RIP to all my dead friends.
May god have mercy on their souls as their sac religious display of stupidity must be a direct reflection of parenting or lack there of. Gods got nice tile!
Thats some sanctimonious bullshit. How about be an adult and accept the reality that tastes and preferences differ, and not be so quick to judge and condemn others. Upgrade yer graymatter.
Currently in rehab right now, meth addiction. I’ve been sober for nearly 4 months which isn’t shit compared to the 3-4 years I was using daily but for me it’s definitely a milestone I’m proud of. I haven’t been sober for this long in years. No weed no alcohol and most importantly no meth. this song takes me back to the days I would be coming down after days of no sleep laying on my bed, I felt as if I was laying on gods bathroom floor begging to get me through it and that I’d never smoke again which was bullshit at that time. Now this song helps me stay sober. One day at a time. We can do it brothers and sisters
I'm not sure why, but there's something about this song. I'm from St Paul Minnesota, and these guys are from Minneapolis. I haven't lived in St Paul or Minneapolis in about 6 years now, moved out to Colorado. I dunno, I really miss living there- I still go back there twice a year to visit family, but it's not the same. My dad listens to Atmosphere too. Being 14, I can't really remember living in our Saint Paul home (which was my parents first house they bought together back in 2008) but I remember some things, like going to all these downtown restaurants, when I was 3-4. Today, my dad's two good friends contacted him today. "Hey! Were all saying cheers to you! The guy who currently lives in your old house is great and all, but he's no Aaron, everyone still talks about you guys. :)" Everyone we knew when we lived out there, still lives there, and remembers us. This song is nostalgic, along with Puppets and The Best Day, also by Atmosphere. To whoever reading all this, I wish you a great day. ❤ 10/6/24
This was the first atmosphere song I heard , I was 14 and i knew i had found something different , something so poetic and powerful. Il never forget that feeling . It was like opening a treasure chest and God's bathroom floor led me to it . Thank you sean and ant for all the beautiful music you guys have blessed us with over the years . True legends .
@@shelbybrown8312 pretty sure I remember that mixtape . It had that alias track Devine disappointment and sole body of humans on it . There was a some dope stuff from buck 65 , dose and moodswing 9 on it too ! Good times .
Currently battling fentanyl addiction I remember this hidden gem and all atmosphere early shit and brought back so much memories, dealing with my current situation this song had brought me peace within myself and is helping change me and wanting me to be sober more and more thank you 🙏🏻
I struggle with meth addiction, right now. On paper, my Parole Officer thinks I'm the shit because I keep my fines and restitution paid, I have a job, and I pass every drug test. But I still relapse on a regular basis. A good friend of mine introduced me to Atmosphere, and these songs have helped to solidify my resolve to remain sober.
Lost my best friend to liver failure exactly three years ago, this song brings back all the talks we had, I just wish I would have done more. RIP Jesse, I love you bro.
Sean, thank you for the lyricism and messages you’ve expressed through your music. I’ve fallen in love with hip hop and the rhymesayers crew is my fixation. You all are amazing people and the things you’ve created have transcended music and have become culture, memories, lessons and artistic beauty.
its crazy how obsessed you can get into rhymesayers. for me it actually turned into an unhealthy addiction for a long time. i find it so hard trying to explain it.
a moment of silence for the ppl out their still struggling and the kids caught in the cross fire!! God is good I'm 18 months clean idk how I did it but I'm here all I gotta say is 1 day at a time and if you slip up and fall keep coming back no matter what cuz it's either you keep coming back or you die eventually... Thanks Slug
Love that you're sharing such powerful earlier work with the unimaginably large and new audience you've garnered over all these years who might not be familiar with it. Such a powerful and vulnerable piece. As catchy as it is creatively structured as well. The idea of putting a few fragments of the four bar "chorus" as its own chorus and then fleshing them out into the full lines is so brilliant (just from a creative artistic standpoint) and equal parts obscure poetry as it is raw vulnerability. Peak rap, top notch atmosphere. Art at its finest. Thank you for everything you've done.
Absolute chills. I’ve called myself an Atmosphere fan for almost 20 years, but only just discovered this yesterday. Shameful. What’s worse, I thought this was average on the first run. One day and 20-odd listens later, I’m fucking beguiled. Reading these comments has been so insightful. So much respect to Slug, Ant, and all of you. Peace and love ✌️ ♥️
When i was in highschool i listened to hiphop but never delved into underground. This was such a slap in my face of something new. The lyrics hit so deep and cut inside. At that age i didnt notice how much these words would help me heal in the future. Thank you so much Slug and Ant you guys have literally saved me from so much!
We lost a dear friend to his despair a few years ago at this writing. I knew about his brushes with alcohol and weed and even some pharmaceuticals here and there. However, I learned at his funeral that heroin was his drug of choice. Gobsmacked is an understatement. How did I not know? Was I really that naïve? Oh my goodness. We miss him terribly. He had the best smile and his laugh could fill a room. This song is helpful in a small way... RIP DJF.
This one goes out too any of us struggling going through a tough time or transition in life! Open your arms up and receive a virtual hug from me too you❤
I couldn't be more grateful for this song.. many of slugs rhymes get me through this life with a sense of understanding that keeps me driven ..keeps me going. Thank you
To my younger brother Nick, I miss you! Back in the day this song was just a banger… This will be the 3rd Christmas without you… Now this song has a much different feel… And it’s not as easy to listen to… As an older brother, I still carry guilt that is hard to let go of… I love you and miss you.
I must be gone.. I can see the two faces on the floor.. the light and dark..and me in the middle ... the fake smile like I'm ok.. but happens in the dark sparks the happiest I can be
This was my ringtone for YEARS. Damn it's always good to hear. Much love to you, Rhymesayers, and to all of these beautiful fans. I hope we can safely rejoice in some tunes together, sooner than later.
You know... Anybody listening to this shit we all going through shit. Just remember what makes us as people and what makes us happy. I been away from it for awhile because hit a hell of a wall. And this song and many othera have given me the answers to what makes life tolerable. Sometimes you just gotta not give into emotion and the immediate reaction you have to things. And that includes self observances and everything else. But I hope y'all are doing alright peeps and I hope y'all can understand what I just said. mad love.
Hey Atmosphere, remember when we had drinks at Rodders after your set and you showed me pics of your fam on your phone? Probly not. But I do. Good times. 🎶🌺✌️
Something about the Overcast days. This music is so different than everything else. Been listing to this song for many years and I just don’t see stopping.
This song helped me out a lot as a rebellious third culture kid growing up in Kuwait. I probably listened to this song with every joint I ever lit up back then.
I can’t stop drinking and waking up thinking I’m about to die. I wish I could just not desire it anymore. I want so much to not want it ever again. 💔 🙏🏻
always come back to this song when those late nights hit...after the party, after all the lights go out, after the silence is left to be enjoyed.. buzzin, high as fuck, reminiscing..puting things into perspective, having epiphanies and breaking old paradigms..music really is therapy. even to go back at songs that helped you grow like this one..weve all come so far. keep fucking goin. this songs still a vibe.
I remember this song making me an Atmosphere fan. I still remain one as this guy is a modern day poet and his words speak to me like no other's. Peace out from România!
Same!!! It's been a min. I love this shit Thanks For this..i needed it. This the third time I played it in a row. I'm in the shop all alone and im getting it. I live for this shit right Here!!!
this song got me through the beginning stages of my recovery. I love you ant. I love you too slug. thank you for being the flame that ignited the fire in my heart to live again
Brings me back to being 17 and happy. Ngl weed makes me run from my emotions especially the diffcult ones. Its a comfort drug for most. Hardest drug ive struggled with quiting
@@og4089 Relate to everyone here, I was a hardcore alcoholic for almost 2 years and it nearly destroyed me in such a short amount of time. Nowadays I just smoke weed and take Kratom, plants over pills yall.
@@thaspacegoatae3419 Opium is from poppy plants, and opioids are the most amazing and destructive drugs out there. If you're wondering f.e. morphine is natural, so I wouldn't equate psychoactive plants with positive high. Anyway, take care brother!
on repeat all day 💜 the days of drowning come creeping in instantly with this tune. 10 years ago today I lost my first friend and sister to an overdose. many more since then /: grateful every day to have put that life behind me, but I can feel all those using feels with this one. So powerful. So grateful that this was remastered into perfection 🥀
And I will never forget the homie who showed me this song randomly during junior year English class el Camino highschool in Oceanside California room f420 with mr. stelmach
Crazy how this song can make you euphoric, thinking about the endless beauty of God's tiles and everything you love in life surrounding them. The past was dark but had many beautiful things to take to the the next beginning.
This song has been there for me throughout beak ups and deaths of close relatives. I have used it for self reflection and to uplift spirits. This is truly an amazing song and one of Atmosphere’s best. Thank you Ant and Slug.
There is music, and then there are songs that are carefully crafted universes that, when listened to, transport you to their own special cosmic world that exists outside of ordinary time/space reality. This is one of those songs. Every time I listen to it, I have to listen again, bc it contains a portal to part of myself that connects with the artists vision. Words will never truly explain it, and I feel that even these words are useless, for nothing can do this song, or these types of songs, justice. I get the same feeling I got in 2006 listening to this song high in my college dorm as I do now in 2024 listening to it sober. Music like this is priceless. Slug, Ant and to everyone weaving their universes together through song, art, and creativity: Thank you

We lost a dear friend to his despair a few years ago at this writing. I knew about his brushes with alcohol and weed and even some pharmaceuticals here and there. However, I learned at his funeral that heroin was his drug of choice. Gobsmacked is an understatement. How did I not know? Was I really that naïve? Oh my goodness. We miss him terribly. He had the best smile and his laugh could fill a room. This song is helpful in a small way... RIP DJF.
Rip DJF
Sorry for your loss. Seems we all have our vices. Mines alcohol weed and pills here an there. We never know our expectation date
Real hiphop brings back good memories
Sluggo ur music straight up raised me to be the man I am today. Much love! see u in Michigan hopefully soon
This one goes out too any of us struggling going through a tough time or transition in life! Open your arms up and receive a virtual hug from me too you❤
Back at you soldier 🫡
The energy in Slugs young voice is unmatched
I couldn't be more grateful for this song.. many of slugs rhymes get me through this life with a sense of understanding that keeps me driven ..keeps me going. Thank you
One of Atmosphere's all-time classics.
To my younger brother Nick, I miss you!
Back in the day this song was just a banger…
This will be the 3rd Christmas without you…
Now this song has a much different feel…
And it’s not as easy to listen to…
As an older brother, I still carry guilt that is hard to let go of…
I love you and miss you.
heard the first 3 seconds and knew this is gonna be bomb
I must be gone.. I can see the two faces on the floor.. the light and dark..and me in the middle ... the fake smile like I'm ok.. but happens in the dark sparks the happiest I can be
This was my ringtone for YEARS.
Damn it's always good to hear.
Much love to you, Rhymesayers, and to all of these beautiful fans.
I hope we can safely rejoice in some tunes together, sooner than later.
You know... Anybody listening to this shit we all going through shit. Just remember what makes us as people and what makes us happy. I been away from it for awhile because hit a hell of a wall. And this song and many othera have given me the answers to what makes life tolerable. Sometimes you just gotta not give into emotion and the immediate reaction you have to things. And that includes self observances and everything else. But I hope y'all are doing alright peeps and I hope y'all can understand what I just said. mad love.
this song saved my life and it always brings tears to my eyes.
Thank you slug, Thank you ant 🖤
Slug sounds exactly the same on records as he does live. I was honestly impressed and im so glad i got to see them perform this!
Real ones know about this.
Yes we do
Yeah been listening to it for years already

4 months sober , this song hits when youve been through it. If you know you know .
Hope you’re still out there fighting the fight
@@tarriverblues thank you brother ! , I am ! A little over a year now
We love to hear it!
Hey Atmosphere, remember when we had drinks at Rodders after your set and you showed me pics of your fam on your phone? Probly not. But I do. Good times. 🎶🌺✌️
one of my favorite songs of all time, and the re-master sounds amazing.
Something about the Overcast days. This music is so different than everything else. Been listing to this song for many years and I just don’t see stopping.
Poetry and music married into a dope ass hip hop beat= Atmosphere
This song helped me out a lot as a rebellious third culture kid growing up in Kuwait. I probably listened to this song with every joint I ever lit up back then.
Put my phone down at 4:30am in a hard time and this started playing. Thanks for speaking out to me 💚
I can’t stop drinking and waking up thinking I’m about to die. I wish I could just not desire it anymore. I want so much to not want it ever again. 💔 🙏🏻
always come back to this song when those late nights hit...after the party, after all the lights go out, after the silence is left to be enjoyed.. buzzin, high as fuck, reminiscing..puting things into perspective, having epiphanies and breaking old paradigms..music really is therapy. even to go back at songs that helped you grow like this one..weve all come so far. keep fucking goin. this songs still a vibe.
Would listen to slug and ant for hours in my youth. With some of the best people that have since passed. Great memories 😊
I remember this song making me an Atmosphere fan. I still remain one as this guy is a modern day poet and his words speak to me like no other's. Peace out from România!
As a fan of rock, country, hip hop in that order. This is still my favorite song for a decade plus. If you need to feel something this has everything
I know I am one small fan and I am certain you’ll never see this.. but you are music helped me and shaped my early years ❤️
Same!!! It's been a min. I love this shit Thanks For this..i needed it. This the third time I played it in a row. I'm in the shop all alone and im getting it. I live for this shit right Here!!!
That last verse still gives me goosebumps
this song got me through the beginning stages of my recovery. I love you ant. I love you too slug. thank you for being the flame that ignited the fire in my heart to live again
Time and time again I find my heart chillin to this gem......glad to be alive through this time.
Thank you much for this favorite song of mine, and all of the other incredible tracks you continue to make.
This was slept on. What a great artist. Underplayed.
This song saved my life. Forever thankful
Brings me back to being 17 and happy. Ngl weed makes me run from my emotions especially the diffcult ones. Its a comfort drug for most. Hardest drug ive struggled with quiting
It is possible. Two years plus for me at this writing. I learned a lot by smoking but have learned more after quitting. Blessings to you.
This song speaks to my fucking soul, it's the anthem of my semi-sobriety.
lmao "semi sobriety". I'm not laughing at you though I'm also kinda semi sober just smoking weed and nothing harder.
@@0oidiedinatimemachineo024 Exactly what I was talking about ;)
Yep me too used to use tweak got 3 years sober off that, but still smoke bud!!!!!!!!
@@og4089 Relate to everyone here, I was a hardcore alcoholic for almost 2 years and it nearly destroyed me in such a short amount of time. Nowadays I just smoke weed and take Kratom, plants over pills yall.
@@thaspacegoatae3419 Opium is from poppy plants, and opioids are the most amazing and destructive drugs out there. If you're wondering f.e. morphine is natural, so I wouldn't equate psychoactive plants with positive high.
Anyway, take care brother!
on repeat all day 💜 the days of drowning come creeping in instantly with this tune.
10 years ago today I lost my first friend and sister to an overdose. many more since then /: grateful every day to have put that life behind me, but I can feel all those using feels with this one.
So powerful. So grateful that this was remastered into perfection 🥀
This is the song that opened my eyes to rap. Before this i was a ignorant metal head who hated rap. But this song changed everything for me, forever.
And I will never forget the homie who showed me this song randomly during junior year English class el Camino highschool in Oceanside California room f420 with mr. stelmach
2011
I would cry to this on a comedown.
Reminded me to straight myself up.
Even Slug smokes now, but I hope I'll don't have to eventually.
It was introduced to me 21 years ago. It’s still as awesome as it was then. I love the remaster
Crazy how this song can make you euphoric, thinking about the endless beauty of God's tiles and everything you love in life surrounding them. The past was dark but had many beautiful things to take to the the next beginning.
This song has been there for me throughout beak ups and deaths of close relatives. I have used it for self reflection and to uplift spirits. This is truly an amazing song and one of Atmosphere’s best. Thank you Ant and Slug.
If there were only room for one in the books to say what hip hop was, it would be this track. Just perfect hip-hop.
One of my favorites, I never get tired of hearing this song!! 🥰
This song is my comfort. From suicide attempts to being a nervous wreck. It gets me through and I say thank you for these rhymes.
All time favorite, reminds me of my dear homie who OD’d on heroin, he showed me this song, thank you for sharing. 🙏❤️
I've been addicted to this track for years.
His illest track no doubt.
Takes me back everytime!
I’ll listen to slug forever
There is music, and then there are songs that are carefully crafted universes that, when listened to, transport you to their own special cosmic world that exists outside of ordinary time/space reality. This is one of those songs.
Every time I listen to it, I have to listen again, bc it contains a portal to part of myself that connects with the artists vision. Words will never truly explain it, and I feel that even these words are useless, for nothing can do this song, or these types of songs, justice. I get the same feeling I got in 2006 listening to this song high in my college dorm as I do now in 2024 listening to it sober. Music like this is priceless.
Slug, Ant and to everyone weaving their universes together through song, art, and creativity: Thank you
Big ups to all in recovery
BRUH... Classic!! One of the things that made 90s great... just a certain sound.
One of the greatest songs they’ve ever made.. beautiful song and such a strong message. Thank you slug for all the help and love through the struggle
