Whew.....had to hold back a lot of tears for this one. First of all, this is such a haunting and dope song. Second, you sampled my fathers music and hearing his voice like this, after his passing (2018) feels like he communicating with me. Thank you. (I Gotta Change My Ways)
MIKE your music is truly moving, it inspires me not quite like other music, inspires me to carry on and persevere because “agony is truth it’s our connection to the living”. everyone feels pain the same and despite how low I might feel I am always gonna be above someone else’s situation, when I hear your songs it makes me so grateful to be alive and to have ears that perceive sound in this way and I am grateful that I am not deaf and I am grateful that out of all the billions of people in the world I am among the thousands that listen to MIKE and artists of the like who truly bleed passion and truth into their work because they are in it for more than just money and manipulation of the people, they are in it for liberation of thought for all and reassurance of what are lives are meant to be: enjoyed as much as possible. Peace to you MIKE and sorry for your loss
Thank you for this bro. Sums up how I feel about MIKE exactly. May MIKE & Adé / s[LU]ms. reconnect, reconcile & reunite! May God bless him, you and y'alls hustle! 🙏🏽
The tree next to him in the last shot lives in resemblance of his mom, in the way that she kept him grounded/rooted as well as being a source of life for him on his path to new perspectives.
@@BenDover-vg9ep maybe he just means some people arent gonna appreciate it no matter how hard you try so no point in tryna force it? idk thats how i read it
Just now seeing the visuals for this song, watching Makeda’s video and now this I see you have a timeless aesthetic eye as well as ear, it’s amazing to watch you as an artist bro😮💨🙏🏾
Hey Mike. Tears of Joy is an absolutely beautiful piece of art man. All of your work is seriously so great and introspective. Will forever be a fan. Blessings to you and your family.
This music video has a lot of meanings to it🤔I come back to it all the time trying to figure it out because it's.....amazing P.s listening to this outside ;-)
Rest in Peace to your mom bro, praying for you all
rest in power to your mother mike
