Eyedea- Here For You, put to pictures
Disclaimer I DON'T OWN THIS SONG
INTRO
There is a way out of this mess and shit, you just can't think your way out of it. Thought is your enemy.
I know I know, I got to think less. I had that thought actually.
You have to let go. Let go.
Let go of what?
Let go of you. I mean, think about it, what have you done for you lately?
I'm having trouble following your philosophy.
You have to jump in.
Jump in by those scopes?
No, in the water.
In the River?
Yes, Jump in the River, Jump in the River...
We're all born into this river without knowing how to swim
And eventually we learn how to keep this water under our chins
Some times this river is so cold to be in
Freezing my soul, solidifying my skin
Regardless of how far I see, I never see my travels end
Were carried by the current, being driven by the wind
The scenery we pass, we'll never see again
So we store it up as memories and don't let go of them
We're under a spell thinking the river should go straight
We set goals and desires to control our own fate
But all the pain we experience is a result of our expectations
Because it's the rivers nature to twist and turn
The shit can burn
And I know it
I have the same conflict
But I try to sit and flow with this rivers natural process
And sometimes when I watch myself float downstream
I see the beauty of it all, and it feels like a dream
And at that time I appreciate the rivers course
Some call it God, reality, momentum, force
I stare up at the naked moon, and she stares down at me
Outside thoughts boundaries I'm all I look outward to see
The universe is not something separate from yourself
I know you feel alone, but that's why I'm here to help
I know you feel alone, but just look up at the stars
And everything that is out there is what you really are
We gotta learn to see the beauty in each moment of life
Everyone has different paths and we're seeing the light
The world is divided between peasants and kings
But the truth is everybodys looking for the same thing
Now I want you to know
The role you play is part of the whole
Without you it couldn't be, and I mean that with compassion
So if you ever need anything, I mean anything at all
I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man
I'm here for you, in the same way that you're here for me
Each person in an intricate piece of infinite
I feel like if you could see what I see
Then we as humanity could be free
I'm here for you, not for any self centered reasons
Because existence is interdependent and all's related,
Connected as different manifestations of one single mind
You ain't isolated from the world even though it feels like that sometimes
I see the hurt when I look into your eyes
How you struggle to hold it and keep it bundled inside
It drives a dull blade deep in my heart; it makes me want to cry
So I offer you a hand to help wash away the rainy skies
I'm running out of words, but I haven't yet made my message clear
So if none of this makes sense, I just want you to know I'm here
As a musician, as a friend, as a teacher, as a student
To grow and realize that everything's in constant movement
Each problem that we face is just a part of this movement
It seems helpless, but if we stick together we'll get through it
And return to the essence from which we've been uprooted
And wake humanity from these illusions
The second you can look into the sky and see your own reflection
You know your headed in the right direction
The river ride ain't always smooth, but with it I live
And everything is perfect, just the way it is
We gotta learn to see the beauty in each moment of life
Everyone has different paths and we're seeing the light
The world is divided between peasants and kings
But the truth is everybodys looking for the same thing
Now I want you to know
The role you play is part of the whole
Without you it couldn't be, and I mean that with compassion
So if you need anything, I mean anything at all
I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man
I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man
I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man
Hi fine, beautiful people of the universe. How are you all?
Hey man. I am good. How are you? Life has it's ups and downs and I have lost some faith in humanity and I am disgusted by the fake reality and system we live in. But I am still trying to push forward and save the world with the rest of the empaths and beautiful souls that are awakened or on their way. I feel bad for all the sheeple and those that just don't know. Ignorance is bliss I guess yet in some ways I like knowing what's going on. But it is maddening we may never break out of this system.....RIP Eyedea still bump your legendary words.
Im good how are you (:
In 1998 the undertaker threw mankind off of hell in a cell and plummeted 16ft through an announcers table
Doing great!
I'm doing alright, thanks for asking. Taking it one day at a time, I'm excited about a new project that I am working on. It's a greenhouse that I just bought the parts for, now I need to assemble it. I want to try and grow different lettuces in there over the winter months. I've never really gardened before, but am looking forward to learning and growing from it.
How many of you keep finding yourself back here at different chapters of your life?
Right?????????? When I find struggles in my life I always seem to revert to this song.
Weekly, it keeps me sane, and it keeps me clear enough to REALLY be there when someone asks for help : )
Me
Time & time again, mikeys talents were inevitable
I came here because i buried my grandmother yesterday...
My buddy who introduced me to you just died at the age of 30. One of the kindest and funny humans I’ve ever met. His memory lives on in me. RIP Eyedea and Tyler
Rest In Peace to your friend Tyler 🙏🏽🕊
rEYEp.
RIPF TYLER
RIP tyler u sounded like a good human. fuck man...this place is so tough some times
Rip Tyler
Its a blessing to say sorry . I wish we could of met . At least he was here !.
I met eyedea at 5th element. Went there to buy an eyedea tshirt for my son for christmas in 99. The person ringing my purchase said hes here right now if you'd like to meet him. I said of course he was a huge influence on my both of my sons and still is. He yelled to the back " hey eyedea theres a parent that wants to meet you" he peered from the ba k hesitated came out shook my hand. I asked him to sign the shirt for me. He got that huge smile on his face and said usually when a parent comes to meet me they want to kick my ass. Ignorant parenrs need to be more aware of their childrens music. If they'd just listen .anyway. What a nice guy. Had great conversation. So sad that this brilliant poet is no longer on earth. He lives on....helping the young and old 50 year olds thru his words. Thank you ! RIP
wendy LaPlant
That was beaitiful...
Thank you for sharing..
💙💜🤗🌲
It really is.
Yeah story kinda brought tears to my face, the world is a funny place
this is the best thing i've read all day
Like yoda says be happy for people who join the force
Addicts are this worlds hidden scholars . One of the most beautiful songs ever written
"99.999% of addicts are not."
Thanks, I’m a recovering addict and I went to school for biomed, chem minor, but I prefer creative writing these days... I also love philosophy but you cannot make a living off of that.
@supermeansadie6753 find something that feels good and helps others feel better, what else is there to do?
Addiction is a lie. It's a form of chemical dependency that keeps your mind in a state of dis-ease & that's why they call addiction a disease because of the chemical dependency / habit.
A drug is hard to let go because that which we posses possesses us.
no one really knows but this man saved my life
Eyedea knows. "I swear someday I'm gonna be somebody's hero, but until that day I'm just another fuckin' weirdo"
too bad we didnt save his
eyedeaosrs 1 i think he just saved mine too. Lifesavers today.. This song appearing on my youtube and a text from a friend that was random yet perfectly timed. it said "I Love you Alex😘" at 7:02. Right about the time I was starting to break down inside at my new job
Vincent Me too. This helped me get through the day.
Vincent Theres a Vincent I once knew. Hes one of my few heros and heroines. He gave me permission to cry. It was the most liberating thing Id ever heard even though I couldnt say that then.
I like this song because it is not forced positivity, it is an honest acceptance of our pain and the deep sadness of life. But embracing it and acknowledging the beauty of life is also just as valid and true as that pain and sadness. We can connect with each other and help one another while we are here. Much love to you all.
Absolutely. Thank you for giving me words for my thoughts
@@Neros_Neckbeard happy it connected with you. Your response had me come back and reread this comment I made a long time ago, and it reminded me to embrace all the different parts of life.
@@Neros_Neckbeard also thats how I feel when I listen to songs like this, that someone expressed ways I am feeling or have felt inside before, and articulated it so well it connects with you and let's you know there are others who have felt the same way. And that is a beautiful thing.
@@anthonytruman I debated replying because it was made so long ago. But it felt like a hand reaching out to me from the past. Nothing but love man
All pain and love is like one in the same 3motion to me, it's whatever makes my heart beat faster or skip a beat ya know..👁🧿👁
Still bumping and sharing this in 2023
Same here!!!!
2024 and every time I scroll past this song it’s an instant play. Such a special song. R.eye.P.
I can't NOT tear up listening to this song... This helped me through so much in my life. My sister's suicide. Break ups. Failing. Losing friends... Mikey is one of the most important people in my life, and I never even got the chance to meet the man. Damn. That's a powerful presence.
R.Eye.P.
Props for keeping the water under your chin. thats some rough shit. wish you the best.
***** You as well.
Keaton Oen HOLY SHIT MAN! I feel sorry for you.
upperclassnoobs Thanks, I think?
"The scenery we pass, we'll never see again" I felt that
very profound stuff for someone who died at 28. he was clearly wise beyond his years
World wasn't ready for him. He will be back when masses are ready.
Amante that's an understatement man.
D E
I wish the world would recognize
he wrote this when he was like 18
Whomever in this post or another said its strange to miss someone you’ve never met nailed it. I miss this man so bad sometimes.
I got to meet him once and I miss him so much today
100%
I had a bad day today. Sometimes it feels like being true to yourself and doing the best you can to promote goodwill in the universe only brings hurt back to you. Eyedea didn't get to see the reach of his goodwill towards everyone, but that didn't matter to him, and he did it because that's who he is and he wanted to touch anyone's heart that his voice could reach. Thank you Michael, you are beautiful and inspiring piece of the cosmic tapestry that binds us all to each other for eternity.
There isn’t a single song I’ve heard in almost 30 years that has touched my soul so deeply. R.Eye.P
The same time Eyedea died I woke up in ICU from aspirating (vomiting from opiates and breathing it in my lungs) I had very similar problems as he did with anxiety and insomnia as well as legit pain meds prescribed to me which makes me not think what he did was purposeful suicide. I took the same combination of drugs for pain and sleep I always had for 10 years.. but that night I vomited in my sleep and breathed in into my lungs and basically died. Im lucky someone came home found me and called 911. I woke up in the ICU so confused and it wasnt intentional. Benzo's, Opiates, and Sleep Aids all legally prescribed could have killed me too and looked like suicide but it wasnt. I was self medicating and a deep thinker. Sometimes I wish i died and he lived because I believe his contributions to the world are beautiful. When he died I realized he really was speaking about the same problems I was suffering from in metaphors from his song. He inspired me to quit all the meds and ive been in rehab sober for 6 months. Thank you Eyedea... .
Hell yeah, man. I wish you all the best!
The "Coincidences" that come along with his music and the people it touches are far more than something to brush off your shoulder and forget about. I have shed more tears in the name of Michael Larsen than that of my own father who died from a heroin overdose. Sadly I discovered him in 2010 after his physical light had been extinguished and I had undergone opiate addiction myself. Then I found out he died on the night of my 18th birthday adj later after I found this song, I called him out at the ending. When he was saying all you gotta do is ask I was in tears with my eyes closed SHUT, and told him prove it, that second there was a single white flash and then it was gone. This is more than a song.
I hope you are well now...?

Im ok... I ended up in the ICU for a second time at the start of November & I was pretty upset because once I backed off all the meds and had been taking care of myself I fell out again. :-( Nothing like waking up in the ICU with a breathing tube shoved down your throat with no memory of how or why I ended up there. Apparently it wasn't even the first hospital that I ended up in before I finally came too.
When I woke up they already had an IV line in me and were giving me IV dilaudid because they had no buprenorphine in the whole hospital. So basically they made me dry out on the Subutex.. switch to Dilaudid and then when I left I had to do the switch back to buprenorphine which was hell on my sanity. It's been a few weeks and I'm just starting to get the ability to continue on with my life.
Besides that I'm doing better and I'm still fighting the daily battle to get myself out of this mess. I'm alive and I still have a chance to change things which is alot more then I can say for my fallen friends over the last few years.
Hope your well. Thanks for sharing. Mickey left and we're here to continue in any way we can, what he inspires in us. Much love.
It's crazy that a man that I've never met, can speak such words that touch my heart so deeply and says everything I need to hear, and says everything that I can't put in words. Thank you Michael. That's what music is truly about. You were here for me, just when I needed you and nobody else was. ❤️
God bless.
Kristiana Ceballos that’s beautiful. Im having emotional morning cuz of this. Reading these posts. I listen to this song all the time and play this very selection from you tube a lot. I’m always sending the link to it to others trying to spread that love and that message and this morning I woke up needing all of this. Thank you for your input momma. “The role you play is part of the whole
Without you it couldn't be, and I mean that with compassion.”
🤍🖤❤️💜🧡💛💚💙🤎
Everythings cool as I float down stream
Saviors man, and the fallen angel(s) 🙌
Definitely feel a similar way,
Namaste 🕉
Still listening . Found him at 15 I’m 25 .
You wanna be friends?
@@hiphopslugno
Lost my dog last month.. been going thru all my introspective raps.. this is a gem amongst them all. Eyedea really had a way to help sooth the aches.. we all flowing down the river.. some just touch that finish line a little sooner than others.
this really is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, I really hope more people find this song.
Eyedea made life changing music, I would have given anything to sit down and chat with him
Saw your post on the "Smile" video, I totally agree. I feel like this dude had such a deep insight to this life. I really hope we all do return to the essence we've been uprooted from.
Can't believe his dead. I got into him because of Aesop.
Life changing music, but not enough to keep him from drug induced suicide
Dude im on the same page as you. If I could be sitting in the same room with Eyedea and Pac. That would be one hell of an epic moment. Why did death have to take away the two greatest rappers/poets ever at such an early time in their lives? Why? The world could learn a whole lot from these ppl.
Michael Smith You're so insensitive. That's not even what happened.
I was here a couple years ago. Thank you RUclips Algorithm for bringing me back 🙏

I listen to this song every time I feel that I need more faith in humanity. I listen to this song a lot. We all miss you so much Mikey.
5 years... Thank you Eyedea
+Justin Kearney R EYE P. Always and forever, my friend.
+Justin Kearney His mom is a nice person....really down to earth. I know this time of year must be hard for her.
+Justin Kearney I found out of eyedea on the day of his death and since then I have learned so much from his songs, they truly are inspirational
+Justin Kearney I found him 5 years ago as well I was 15.
+Paul Poppy I've been listening to him since I was around 13 or 14...and that was over 10 years ago now. Eyedea has got me through some tough times, even after his death.
Wow this is my first time hearing him. What a song. Beautiful
This song makes me tear up, one of my favorites from him.
R.EYE.P
This song makes me cry every time I listen to it. I am going through a really hard time right now :( So much pain. I wish eyedea was hanging out with me but this song will have to do. I am so grateful for these words. RIP I love you.
We all go through hard times and those difficult feelings are universal in one way or another. You are not alone. Don't be afraid to reach out to people when you are feeling down and let music take you to hard places to work on them. If you need someone to talk to feel free to branch out to me. We're all brother's and sisters in my book
***** I deleted his shitty comments.
+Reggie Noble ironically, the one that most applies to is yourself. look deep inside and question what went wrong that you could say something so heartlessly callous even as a "troll". or don't.
I laughed. Sometimes that's all you can do.
Thanks everyone for the kind words, three years have passed and I am doing a lot better in my life. Things will always still be difficult but thats the river we live in right? I hope all of you who are struggling keep your head up and just remember there is always someone out there who will be your friend and listen. There are so many kind people in this world you just have to reach out to them.
Eyedea made me feel like I'm not alone and as shitty as at may sound feels a lil better knowing your not the only one lost confused and struggling
Hey guys.
So I've never really taken the time to read all the comments on this video... and WOW. It's amazing how many of you have taken the time to be talk and be there for each other.
:,)
One.
Well I think we see the same as Michael in a sense. And that is why we are here and this chat is pleasant and not nasty.
LeDuckDuckGoose I love you
Fuck yes this what it’s all about thank you everyone in these threads I love y’all
Talented individual wish there was more original artists like this
I came here famished, loathsome and tired. I leave with an acute sense of wonder. Refreshed from fresh life spoken through Soundwave. Moved from desolation to gratification. The simple vernacular is spectacular knowing this feeling is fleeting but rest assured it can be heard again. I can breathe and now I can be at rest.
Much respect. R.I.P. Eyedea, Writers never die.
Best song to listen to when your feeling down R.I.P Eyedea
Always coming back to this song
Eyedea doesn't get brought up in the GOAT conversation nearly enough.
As far as historical conversations go, he already won the WHOLE ENTIRE COLLECTIVE RAP BATTLE that has been ongoing for millenia. People just don't know it yet.
He rarely ever gets brought up, and when I do, their like..
Who?
He is the Greatest of all time!
GOATs very rarely get brought up in GOAT conversations because they get drowned out by the mass appeal of the generic, which gets confused for greatness.
@@doubtfulguest5450 facts, if we are all being honest here eyedea and daylyt the ying and yang of hiphop the outspoken goats..😴
"I feel like, if you could see what I see - then we, as humanity, could be free."
I feel you, brother. ❤️
I agree it needs more views!! But I'm also really surprised it has gotten 50,000. I made it in iMovie one random night, took me 3 hours. I am grateful that 50,000 people have heard/seen Eyedea's message in this song.
Thank you all for the views and comments. The whole world can connect thru music. RIP EYEDEA
I wish I could shake Eyedea's hand.
Me too dude, me too.
thatd be weird cuz hes dead

4 years... R EYE P
hi justin. thanks for the upload! :D
He truly is amazing!!
BurnGiordano You will feel all sorts of emotions for Micheal. I've cried more tears for him than anyone else because of how influential he has been on my development as a human being in this world. Never meeting the person that inspired you is a gut buster but I appreciate the work and talent that he had and though his physical being is gone his voice and music lives on.
well said
***** He has had new stuff released that were unfinished projects and remixes so Mikey still has stuff to come that he just never got to complete. It's a shame that it will never be completed but we still have more stuff from him :') he lives on with his music and his voice! Don't cry for his death but smile for the life that he lived!
This song is an absolutely flawless masterpiece.
because existence is interdependent....micheal larsen came into my life when i was very surface level and trying to grow and enjoy life. i let those substances wash over my identity more than solidify anything. but i have such vivid memories of some of the times i shared with Eyedea. I will never stop appreciating those moments, thank you buddy. i hope you did what was right for you at the end of the day. i still miss you.
He's elevated to another place but he's still here for us. Thank you.
no other song makes me cry but this song makes me cry so hard cuz eyedea really knew how we all feel and he knew how to put it into a beautiful art
This mans philosophies are brilliant ..probably the realest most introspective, thought provoking ,and deep truthful songwriters ever ..or atleast one of
It blows my mind. His lyricism's so poetic and illustrative. Front to back, his album By The Throat with Abilities is some of the deepest music I've ever heard
its incredibly deep! this man was on another plane of thought
I wish I could ask him why he overdosed :/
Hed probably sat "too much of a substance whatcha think" haha I know what you mean if it was on purpose or not ..yet another untimely demise of a brilliant mind
Yeah :/ life is crazy. Was he atheist or what?
This song saved me again and again.
Me too
This is literally my favorite song and favorite album of all time. My uncle showed me it around 10 years ago as a kid and I grew up with it. I’m now 19 and let me tell you, this song has literally saved my life and has constantly reminded why we’re here and in existence. Truly love this guy.
Hope you still bump it up
I would not be here without you Mikey
Carrie Lemon-Blossom same
i was lucky to meet his mom kathy at the first soundset i ever went too and she gave a bracelet that says here for you and ive never taken it off she's the nicest little lady youll ever meet and looking down at this lil message on my wrist has gotten me through some shit through the years... were all born into this river without knowing how to swim but eventually we learn to keep the water under our chins. r.eye.p. mikey
This song saves me. Over and over again. I am transported back into myself as soon as I hear the first trill.
JUMP IN THE RIVER
im glad more people are starting to recognize eyedea.. back when these songs were coming out i was trying to show everyone.. and only few took note.. either way.. #TheWorldHasnoEyedea
I’m glad the river brought us together. Your music is transcendental.
What a truly beautiful song and poet. Rest in peace
first time listener, long time hip-hop nerd. this is gorgeous.
Too me
He made me realize things about myself that I never would have, a true philosopher and an inspiration to us all. A great friend and artist who will be truly missed, it's been a ride that I'll never get off of, my thanks to you Oliver Hart, R.EYE.P.
I feel like the world needs this song right now. 💖
12 years ago he died, his music helped me tremoundesly the last 8 years, I keep coming back to my favorite songs it's like meeting old friends. REYEP. We miss you Mikey.
I never cry. Maybe like twice in the last 5 years. this shit made me tear up
This song never ends.
Crying right now miss you homie! Eyedea's art got me clean off that pipe and made me turn my shit around. Three months clean now and bumping this on the daily. Love and unity to all.
Much luv to ya brother
Thanks lil gomi yh brother still clean and functional but seriously thank you for the concern its stuff like this that makes you realise that people are basically good. Peace to you and yours ✌️✌️✌️
Miss this guy and his lyrics. Most dope underrated LEGEND R.I.Paradise Eyedea
My god Mikey, you were an amazing artist and poet.
Eyedea truly was over a decade ahead,at 02:26 he’s doing the Joker film smile b4 memes made that “smile” a meme.Seriously though dude was a music genius!His Oliver Heart ‘How Eye won the right to think’(the album this track is from)was written & produced by him solo,if you’ve heard that Lp(which I had to cop on the record store2014,triple vinyl 3000copys only limited edition)then you’ll know how I’m not overstating it when I call him a genius,on the mic and on the boards aswell!R.I.P
its like his soul lives on through his music. He keeps on helping us and guiding us through his words. Hes like a shaman disguised as a musician. I fucking love this man
I want this played at my funeral
I second that
I third that
Same
5th here
All you gotta do is ask
few months ago, my cousin committed suicide, at that time I was listening to this song a lot, and Eyedea was the rapper I was talking to him about, and my regret is that I didn't show him this particular song before he did, so he'd knew I was there for him, it hurts like a bitch to see my lil brother go like that .... R.EYE.P Mehdi, and Eyedea
Things happen for a reason my friend...all we can do is trust this river an it's paths it's taking you on these paths for a reason..sorry for your loss man...
Abdou Amazigh Oubachir my condolences
I’m sorry for your loss
i comeback whenever im down, he really is here for you. R.EYE.P
Haven't listened to this song since high school. Such a dope artist. I used to go to a lot of his shows with Slug and RSE. Some of the dopest concerts I've ever been too. Met eyedea a few times. Soo humble and polite. Sad he passed. Lost a great soul.
This song is so beautiful right now I just couldn't help but burst into tears. I feel so unattached from the world sometimes but listening to this song I feel unified with the world. I also wanted to say thank you eyedea and may you rest peacefully in the stars
I had just come across this song about an hour ago & then I had a friend literally message me telling me to listen to this. So here I am, thank you Grace. Thank you Mikey ❤️ and thank you Mac.
i love how the majority of comments on ANY of Eyedeas vids are on the positive tip... big up x
I listened to Eyedea growing up, and he's modern day poetry at it's best. His music is truly timeless, lyrical and magical. Please don't be dead Michael...
this song is flawless for so many life situations. RIP to a genius. Unfortunately some of the most talented artists have the darkest inner struggles.
if more people listened to this song, and practiced the kindness that Eyedea was trying to explain to us all the world would be a much better place. Whenever i'm down and that sadly happens more than it should, i listen to this, and i don't feel so alone. RIP
Shedding light to these kids....We are all one. Thank you for trying to show everyone this Micheal. Such a fckin beautiful soul, I know you're on to bigger and better things now, finally free from this illusion filled dimension. R. EYE. P
Never die
I find myself here time and time again...just drifting away in memories! Wish I could of met him so I could just listen
You have let go...
-Let go of what?
Let go of you.

:)
does anyone know whats the title's of that movie on the beginning?!!
Jose Lopez -Someone said the beginning is from a "really good movie" (I never saw it)..but it's called "Pushing Tin" and the two ppl talking are Billy Bob Thornton and John Cusack. Makes perfect sense once I re-listened to it.
lisa karson thanks!
Hip-Hop aint my thing but when a friend of mine introduced me to Eydea it was like my mind was open to what more good Music Genre is out there=) ( i Normally Listen to 80's Metal Motley Crue so now this is actually my favorite song and the Lyrics are Mindblowing i heard this song for the 1st time 3 February 2012 16:30 pm .
There is not one comment under a song by or involing eyedea that is not wholesome at least.
I love you people.
This is the only mc that brings me to tears constantly. It's so damn beautiful.
What I don't understand is why there are so many dislikes on this. I get that everyone doesn't share the same view, or maybe they just don't like the beat, or the video, or his voice, but how does this not touch your soul? This song alone has changed my entire view on life. Everyone on this planet is here for the same thing, everyone on this planet hurts, everyone on this planet is worth something, and we're all here to be here for one another. I can't believe how much this man who was dead before I even started listening to him has shaped my life. R EYE P.
+Persona Yup some people just aren;t ready fort it man. everyone is at their own level of awareness and consciousness...one day maybe they willl
+Dick Richardson i dont like the song, i think his rapping is subpar and the beat is bad. i listen to tons of other music that "touches my soul" but this doesnt because its entirely subjective
They haven't woken up yet. Just wait bro you'll see
I love how, whenever I come back to this song and here the part “The river ride ain’t always smooth but with it I’ll live, & everything is perfect just the way it is” it’s always a different situation
Wish I could’ve been there for you Michael! I love you! there is something special about you so genuine! Word can’t even describe your beautiful soul. Thanks for being you man,we lost the realest one and a poet...You will forever be missed 💔
Rest in Peace, Eyedea. I am heartbroken I didn’t know you before your passing. I’ll create a legacy just for you❤️
Chills Bro. Chills.
bruh
Word
this song and the dive part 1 and 2, saved my life.... R EYE P. so thankful i got to tell him "thank you" at his show in baton rouge louisiana, i'll never forget that moment, he was surrounded by groupies and i just kepy my distance and told him thank you as a tear fell from my eye, he looked directly into my eyes and i saw myself in him
great eyedeas never die
Amazing! He was so conscious...his thinking. what a gem
Such an underrated song. #RIPeyedea I didn't get into his music until a few years ago, really wish he was still around making quality music like this. 7 years, gone but not forgotten.
Keep finding myself coming back to this song had to leave my little mark
I think this is literally the only song to ever make me tear up
This mans music has got me through the hardest parts of my life, and the best parts. Love you bud. EYEDEAS NEVER DIE!!
this song helped me trough depression RIP EYEDEA thank you
It's a damn shame we won't ever hear any new shit from Eyedea. He was truly one of a kind. R.I.P Mike Larson
An amazing song to calm and humble the soul. 5 minutes to catch up with yourself.
3 years later, still missing you and wishing for more songs, Mike!
Eyedea, you're amazing!!!! I can't even describe how much your music has influenced me. RIP man, RIP brother (((.
Same sentiment. I was never depressed or going through a drug addiction, but Eyedea's lyrics still have had a profound impact on me; they've taught me to see the beauty in everything.
2022... I cried when he died. He was so amazing
This song helped me through a really hard year for me in 2014. I always feel touched when I listen to this song. A beautiful soul, thank you for recording this, really.
Here for you, love you Madre ❤
A beautiful soul.🙏
