You gon' be good, no matter what. You will get trough those challenges, yes they will effect your life and you will sadly lose people and things, but you will rise. Trust me and in yourself 🙏🏻🌅
I think Earl's nonchalant, almost lazy lyric delivery represents how it feels to have depression. The slowness of this EP and the weird mixing also creates that same feeling. Thank god for earl
This was the song that made me realize just how different Earl's music is to the rest. This isn't just sad music, this is depressing music. It's the musical equivalent of being too sad to cry, feeling so done with the world that you don't want to even die, just dissapear.
Facts this comment sum it up perfectly.I would take a screenshot of this comment but my parent might the photos and if they that they gon get mad at me
that reminds me of in breaking bad when walter says to jesse “oh ive got it, i remember now. that night, the noght of janes death, i met her dad at the bar.. yeah that night was the perfect night to just disappear- not die just leave.” something like that im always tryna find that moment
This is a song I literally cried myself to sleep to when I was in college all alone, no friends, nobody to call or be with, and loved ones were dying. Truly felt isolated and alone. This song was like a blanket and a friend giving advice all in one. Had to get this song name tattooed on me because it really got me thru
@@ski-mask-the-slump-god hey man ik im two months late but whatever youre going through is going to end eventually. Dont lose hope, you got this. Talk to people you’re comfortable with and share your problems with them. Anyways that’s all i have to say man, take care and you got this. peace
I’m 15. I don’t have an abusive family, I don’t do drugs. I never suffered like others hear. But I’m just always down. Feeling like I’m always left out. Extremely insecure. I just feel like I haven’t found myself. I try to find comfort in love, but other than my mom and my sister and father and grandmother, I don’t think I’ve been truely loved. That sometimes hurts me ngl. Idk what’s wrong with me, I have friends but I feel left out. I have a good family but I feel lonely. There’s just no pleasing me, no comforting me. The only way I do find comfort is in music. And I’ve found it very hard as an Arab to relate to lyrical artists or artists with strong messages. But with earl, it’s different. It all sinks in. He’s one of the few rappers in his lane that I can enjoy. I feel like I belong to something when I go through this comment section. One thing that does bother me is my grandma dying this year. I remember the look in her eyes when she saw me. That was the last time she was conscience in the hospital. So this just hits right home. It’s 4:am, and I’m alone, in my room, righting this meaningless comment, trying to find solace.
U seem like a intelligent kid for ur age wish I was the same.. stay true to yourself, don't follow the crowd, mourn but don't numb the pain too hard like me and treat your self as if it were someone u cared for.. also try acid or psycs wen ur a yr or 2 older might change ur perspective on life. It will get better, take care.
@@zaindixon9811 hey man sorry to hear that. I was like that when I was around your age too. The low confidence, constantly feeling left out and isolated, these things are sure to continue for many years. However, if you give in it will persist forever. So my advice to you sir is to be more open abd true to yourself, even when it feels like it isnt working. Children and teens dont value uniqueness, but the Adults who run this world do. Learning to love yourself is number one man, never forget it. Much love my man.
hey man, I just wanted to say I hope you are doing okay. And to say that this society can really isolate you for being different, and different doesn't mean standing out, but just feeling like you don't fit sometimes. But that doesn't matter - just keep loving you for you, and one day that difference will be some thing to treasure. Sorry to hear about your loss. Love yourself, and try not to let this world make you too bitter, even though sometimes it wants to do just that. There is genuine good out there, and in you, and it's worth nurturing and protecting. Peace
I was born blind in my left eye. For about 3 years everything was just a blurry mess of colors and I was basically in purgatory. Always going on long car rides to the eye doctor, stuck in offices for hours at a time, seeing nothing but a drab mess of gray, white, and black. Music was one of the only things that comforted me, and the songs my mom played in the car were always playing over in my head to keep me calm. However, there are still some melodies that I swear were practically the soundtrack of my life, that have no name, no identity, nothing. The outro to this EP is one of them. I have no idea where I could’ve heard it, but I heard it from the ages 1-3. The outro always hits me the hardest.
Woah, I went through an insanely similar journey. I’m blind in my left eye, have been since I was about 6/7 old and I’m about 30 now. All I see are blurry blotches and I have utterly no depth perception. I was born with cataracts in both eyes. I was having my first operation (on my left eye first) and 9/11 happened while I was being operated on. That obviously left me with serious complications for the rest of my life considering the staff were in a sudden panic while I was under. This was in a major city and nobody knew wtf was going to happen, if the same thing was going to happen in every major city. From that day on until I was 18 years old and could make my own medical decisions, I endured countless “corrective” surgeries against my will and understanding. I will never forget the many long long drives to and from the hospital, at times while a few very painful emergency side effects post operation were happening and my mom would be speeding us an hour away to the hospital. Being forced under anesthesia against my will as a little kid. Multiple nurses holding me down while the surgeon force fed me the gas mask while I tried my hardest to kick and scream begging them to stop. Only to wake up on tons of pain killers and nauseas from anesthesia. At six years old this started, I have endured more corrective surgeries on my left eye than I can even count. Until I was a little older they all began and ended like that, forced, and scared,feeling no control over my own fait with little understanding of what was happening to me. Even though I had family there with me to comfort me as best they could I always felt deeply like nobody truly saw what I was experiencing or understood what I was feeling. Just chalked up to being a scared kid, which I guess is all it ultimately was considering the operations were deemed necessary. Only I still have extremely limited vision in my left eye if you can even call it vision. I have never come across anyone who has come close to understanding.
This all lead me to dealing with severe opiate and amphetamine addiction for almost ten years more recently in life, and in one way or another I was always brought back to this track during my most dark lonely and disturbing moments in addictions and suicidal ideations. You are not alone.
My bestfriend and I used to listen to it, i didn't really realized in how much pain he was back in the day, should'have listen to the clue before he take his life... Please listen to your family and friends, thank you and have a good day.
been where you are, lost 2 friends to suicide. you never know what someone’s going thru in their heads despite how they present themselves RIP to your friend, sadly these are one of the few things where time can’t heal that pain
Strong words… I remember listening to this song six years ago when those suicidal thoughts were in my head and heart. My mom passed away a year before and I left home at the age of 16. I listened to this song wishing I could just go with her, I wrote several letters saying goodbye and now that I'm back I can say that life is getting harder but I know I have an angel watching over me. Thnx Earl for make me feel less alone with my mental illness.
@@Ana-kd6yu I suffered the near same exact situation last year at 15, i got back into a stable position. wish i listened to this more when life was harder
@@crives1525 It’s very heartwarming to listen this song when everything is falling apart, it was a refuge for me. I hope you get the wisdom and strength you needed in those turbulent times, you’ll never be the same person than yesterday but you are not alone! life is about learnings. :•)
mental illness is so hard to deal with, it’s not like you get one and go to a doctor and it gets treated in hours. it’s much harder then that, and the fact that you can get through that means you are very brave and strong, keep fighting because it will be worth it in the end.
@@nnkauaiajs6970 havent listened to this shit in about 7 months, come back and now it feels like a relapse lmao. grateful im happier than i was when i posted that comment, darkest time of my life. shit gets better, but nothings ever perfect. love
@@birdy6387 nice. Good for you. Crazy how music can summon emotions and memories with such clarity. I think the second verse is the closest expression of true depression I’ve ever heard
i’ve been listening to this a lot recently bc i’ve been extremely sad the past weeks, my grandma died and i’m being bullied in school. i can relate to every single word earl says on this ep and it makes me feel better. thank you earl.
I'm really sorry what happened, I hope that even though your world is so dark right now, you are soon able to see some light in the memories you've had with your grandma.
When you’re going through an extended period of depression/grief, it’s important to train yourself to look at the good in everything until it’s muscle memory. It’s not going to take the weight off your shoulders but it’ll keep you grounded, at least it has for me.
Nalaya Davis besides what I named mirror, e.coli, RATS, Robes, curse, 6 am writings, etc. his unreleased library is so massive it’s hard to think of anymore
I first listened to this when I was suicidal at the age of 13. Now I'm 22 and still suicidal, listening to the same song. Nothing changes. I've wanted to die all my life, but never found the courage to bring justice and right the wrong of my birth.
it's incredible how audio recordings capture emotions and freeze them for eternity, I saw a comment that said that this song was recorded all in one night, and i just think how that night and that ambience got froze into a track forever, this song is truly a great piece of art, deep emotions frozen for eternity
I hope Earl copes okay with Macs passing because Earls tweeting is showing that he ain’t feeling too well especially since his dad died this year too. As much as I want another Earl album I want Earl to feel good and well and just continue living. Pray for Earl before he’s gone. Rest in power to Mac as well.
"I'm the youngest old man that you know, if your soul intact, let me know" Earl is insane with it!!! Dropped a masterpiece!!! A 10 minute project that is more scenic and visualizing than most cinematography!! Earl is a National treasure from the Universe!!! And his producing skills are top notch, My God!!! One of the greatest Emcee/Producers to ever do it!!
ive cried to the point of naeusa to this song countless times, its one of the very few pieces of media that just understands me. listening to it feels like im slipping back into my favorite hot soggy blanket in a good way
man i honestly love this comment section. every month or so i listen to this and read the comments and they damn near blow my mind of sheer introspectiveness and i hope everyone is doing well.
fell asleep one night with earl playing on RUclips, literally woke up at like 3:33am and one song ended and this came on, I’d never heard it before and i was lying in the dark with the only light coming from the tv feeling freaked out by the intro and the transition from pink to black was the most comforting and freaky thing ever, whenever i listen it reminds me of that
I don’t know if im going to make it out of this dark tunnel, but if I do, I will have earl to thank. Coming here to cry makes me feel less alone, because I know he feels it too.
Listened to this song at some of the lowest moments of my life when I was 18/19. I’m 24 now and life has improved so much, I’m glad I’m not where I was anymore
@@xylan9543keep going, reach out to the ones you love and keep them as close as you can. Having support in your life and practicing gratitude have done wonders for me. It will never be ALL good, but it does get better. I promise you
@@xylan9543 im 11 months late, but if you're still struggling i advice you to talk with family and friends about your situation, they're always there for you. pray to god a lot, he knows best. ask god for guidance through your situation and ask your family and friends for advice. take care man, you're not alone
@Dante66660 hopefully your life is getting better by the days, i know its been a month but hopefully your life has been better lately, even if its just a little. take care man, just remember that people care for you
I just started college and it hasn’t been going well. I struggle to talk to people and make friends and I’m just sitting here alone on a bench listening to this hoping shit will get better
i was in the same situation but i gave up and dropped out. dont let it get to you man, take the real initiative and do everything you can. things will get better u just gotta work for it. dont let it ruin your head and control you. you control it. bless up
I feel you, it sucks to be alone specially school, a place where many interact and socialize. Unfortunately that place is full of people who are only trying to impress others. Ive been doing me for 2 years at college now and that’s something i noticed. Just stay true to yourself and keep moving forward. When the right people come along, youll notice. Keep pushing forward brother.
The one thing i really love about this ep/album is his laziness lyrics the slow most nonchalant downer loser feeling it really represents depression as a way i see it and the fact i hate is how i can relate to it and understand it but at the same time im glad that there is someone who is also there and just can feel the same things we've been feeling, thank you Earl.
@@ytedgar2454 just focus on getting thru each day one at a time fam. u always matter and are worthy of a good life and being surrounded by good people, and by continuing to fight and movng forward, u move closer to the light at the end of the tunnel. shit feels like that will never happen, but success stories are plentiful. just stick in there im proud of ya
Sensei at this point Earl is my favorite rapper I don't know if it will change. In a way I hope I come over someone better then Earl because he is one of the first rappers I have listened to and the best so far so I want to find someone better instead of thinking every time I listen to a new artist like "oh well he/she is not as good as Earl". But then agian Earl is an amazing lyrisist and will always be amazing.
This is a landmark in music. The way it can go from feeling hopeful to bringing you down in seconds is almost unlike anything I've heard. It really shows you the potential music has as an art form. This deserves to be remembered for years!
this may be my favorite song of all time, it means a ton to me and has saved me on some occasions. no one will prolly even see this comment but it felt appropriate to leave this here
Earl is going to go down as one of the Greats This song is easily a 10/10 from the incredible instrumentals to the extraordinarily deep lyrics that perfectly depict depression this might be my favorite song oat and this and Some Rap Songs has cemented Earl as a legend
In an NPR interview he said he made this project especially for his mom, he said it was the only thing he's made to date that he was proud enough of/was appropriate enough to show her
His moms a professor at UCLA, she's probably worried about his xanax problems, his eating disorder, his depression, and the lack of sleep he's getting. Even though this song is when he finds his inner peace. He's getting better now though.
Ain't drank in two days after months of drinking every day, thought it'd help. Started my meds again, just made me tired. Sick of waking up, trying to eat , trying to fake it, etc. I'm currently on lunch at my job in my car crying listening to this. This will always be my favorite Earl song, always. They say life gets better, I been waiting 10years to stop feeling like this, stop thinking like this. I been in therapy for years. I even graduated college this year and I yet I still could care less about anything. No matter what I do, what I try, it's never gotten better. I'm still at my retail job. I'm still living with my alcoholic parents. I'm still overwhelmed. I'm still so sad. So frustrated. So over this life. Happy new year, I hope the world ends in 2025 ❤ hope y'all and Earl are doing good
Hearing this after all my problems were solved and after reading earls recent tweet saying “I laugh and smile more” is an extreme relief. What an amazing and comforting feeling. Hope everyone here is okay.
I remember feeling this way in sophomore year and this song perfectly describes how it felt. Glad him and us are doing better, and hopefully someday the rest of you feel better too
"One foot stuck in the tar pit of my ways." What a god damn relatable line for anyone who's ever been stuck in their mental shit. Hope we can all get healthy someday.
i remember sitting in in-school suspension having to write a letter to my english teacher not to fail me and listening to this song over and over to cope most of the times students can’t focus because of their family situation. nobody ever cared in my case. had to pull myself up by the bootstraps. now i’m an architect
there’s no depressed state I’m in, no paranoia lingering in me. I just feel nothing. Like I’m not motivated to do anything and I know I have gifts to show this world but I just don’t feel like getting out of bed. Just feel nothing
I was the exact same way about a month ago. I didn’t get enjoyment from anything anymore, I felt no desire to do the hobbies I most enjoyed, i was even repulsed to talking to my closeted friends. Instead, I just layed in bed for almost the entire day every day doing nothing. I was never sad though, everything just felt meaningless in an emotionally absent way. I started seeing a therapist though and yes, these feelings are very much a result of depression. As the other replier said, depression doesn’t necessarily have to be emotional sadness. Anyway, sorry for rambling there, I just hope you’re doing good now.
Interestingly, he used it again in his track "Riot!" at the end of his "Some Rap Songs" album and that time around, it's the hopeful note that the album ends on.
i might get lost in the shuffle here, but if you’re reading this, i hope things get better for you soon. it’s times like these when we all need to know that everything’s a cycle, for better or worse. this, too, shall pass, as all things do.
Noah Wiedrich as a person who’s battling depression, i want to thank you for your humaneness and sincerity. you made me feel less nauseatingly about myself. i love you, have a great day. 🥺
As someone else with depression, and some other bullshit, I know it ain't bout me but my people know I'm there and I care. I just feel alone still, I know they probably there but I question the realness of their words. Nonetheless less I hold the ones that mean most closest. Why i said it? I dont know, I just meant it. But I mean this too, you keep sharing those words, it makes a difference. No matter the reactions you get, the times you make that difference is the only one you focus on. I hope the best for you, even more so for the kindness you display.
@@НаташаТюрина-ц5ы & aye I hope the best for you too, stay positive as you can. Every little bit of positivity matters, even the smallest bit of positivity matters.
Fix That man I be at work trynna be nice and help be at home trynna be nice and help and all I hope for in return is people show humanness I’m closed off ion even give people a chance to get close they think it’s because I was abandoned by my family as a black sheep when in reality all I wanted to see was care they only care about money and dreadfully it hurt cuz I care about them. You look in the mirror everybody pushing for better. Its never enough of this or that Im on the side of the few i believe in peace that warmness in your heart when you help cuz you want to, ion knw why I opened up bout this either I’m blaming you lol
@@aliwaytv1857 It really does be hard trying to be nice all the time, just remember to be kind to yourself too! I know it hurts though, most people I know are like that but I just stay closest to the ones who show me care. & aye I'll take the blame this time lmao.
Bill Anderson well that’s good mane. N maybe you didn’t find it cuz you were looking in the wrong places. And the fact that you became addicted to drugs sorta tells me that you went across the country to escape something. Perhaps if you try to lead a purposeful life rather than wandering around the country wondering when you will find what you aren’t looking for. I hope that makes sense. Basically find a passion and pour your soul into that. Everyone is blessed for a different reason don’t forget that. Good luck mane
Bill Anderson it’s okay man. i wasn’t raised with much wealth, i would consider i was maybe lower middle class if i had to guess. however it means you have awoken to what is pure in life. you realize money isn’t shit and no matter poor or rich we all dance with death once the party is over. when we pass it’s not that the party is over. it’s just our time to leave.
Used to listen to this in a freezing garage while smoking weed during my senior year of high school... I reflect on how I was then compared to now, 4 years later and I can say I’ve emotionally changed the way this song does throughout its 3 parts..I love this song and everything about it. Fav earl song next to Sunday and Quest/Power
Even though this is such a dark song it's given me a lot of comfort over the years. I hope Earl knows how many people he's touched with his music. One of the greatest of this generation in any genre if you ask me.
seeing your parents grow old and weak is a pain but it's beautiful at the same time. well, what can you do? all you can do is think that everything in life is beautiful. that's all there is to it. love your parents.
I’ve been coming back to this song since 15 years old. I’m 22 now. Things get better, then get worse for a minute. Sometimes you just stay worst though.
God bless ya bro, on the same boat. 22 years old, but been listening to this for too long. Depression is a beast we learn to live with, sometimes it gets the upper hand, but I can’t let it win. Hope you don’t let it win either, stay up king
@@erosmorales2329 Our eyes are not only viewers they’re also projectors that are running a second story over the picture that we see infront of us all the time, fear is writing that script and the working title is; I’ll never be enough.- Jim Carey. Hope you take something out of this quote bro. Goodluck to you all on your journey. Depression is a beast but meditation and therapy are the two biggest tools you have available.
I cried to this song last night. Whenever I feel like my atmosphere is dark and I feel hopeless, I always listen to this. It’s a way I can cope with my feelings. I haven’t cried in years but this time I felt weak. I’m just happy this song exists.
Lungelo That reminds me when I was younger I didn’t really understand funerals and death really well my grandfather on my dads side had passed and I asked my mom “Why is he so cold?”
This is Imo Earl's masterpiece. How he's able to encompass his emotional rut through the instrumentals, the lyrics, tone/voice. It all comes together as one of the best expressions of sadness/depression & anger in which few could ever capture authentically. I Pray everyone gets through for their solace & eventually to peace.
Solace has to be one of the deepest tracks ever created. This song is the only song i’ve ever listened to that accurately describes how it feels to be depressed. This isn’t some 2 and a half minute throwaway that he calls “deep” like so many rappers put out today. This isn’t even music, this is pure art.
This track reminds me what it feels like to be at my lowest and I come back and listen to it when I need a reminder. We’re all fighting an uphill battle, don’t call it off before you see it through.
@Rico Risken making a song talking about struggles and emotions doesn't mean he is known for it cause nas is known for his lyricism and storytelling cudi was the first in the main stream to have that as a theme of his music

he has such a simple but different flow that no one else has and the result is always amazing
i agree so much this is my first time ever listening to this and the messiness of the mixing and beats personifies depression so well
i read this in the patrick bateman voice
And on earl & idlsidgo his voice especially on idlsidgo sounds like the anger fuled by depression
i love him
This was the song that made me realize just how different Earl's music is to the rest. This isn't just sad music, this is depressing music. It's the musical equivalent of being too sad to cry, feeling so done with the world that you don't want to even die, just dissapear.

And to say that this society can really isolate you for being different, and different doesn't mean standing out, but just feeling like you don't fit sometimes. But that doesn't matter - just keep loving you for you, and one day that difference will be some thing to treasure. Sorry to hear about your loss. Love yourself, and try not to let this world make you too bitter, even though sometimes it wants to do just that. There is genuine good out there, and in you, and it's worth nurturing and protecting. Peace
These songs hit the hardest when your thoughts are clear, and completely sober.. after the withdrawals left, and you're stuck with just *you.*

Well this hit hard.
Juul withdrawals lookin ahh niggas

... yup
I was born blind in my left eye. For about 3 years everything was just a blurry mess of colors and I was basically in purgatory. Always going on long car rides to the eye doctor, stuck in offices for hours at a time, seeing nothing but a drab mess of gray, white, and black. Music was one of the only things that comforted me, and the songs my mom played in the car were always playing over in my head to keep me calm. However, there are still some melodies that I swear were practically the soundtrack of my life, that have no name, no identity, nothing. The outro to this EP is one of them. I have no idea where I could’ve heard it, but I heard it from the ages 1-3. The outro always hits me the hardest.
Your a real soldier bro
The outro feels like things are gonna get better
Woah, I went through an insanely similar journey. I’m blind in my left eye, have been since I was about 6/7 old and I’m about 30 now. All I see are blurry blotches and I have utterly no depth perception. I was born with cataracts in both eyes. I was having my first operation (on my left eye first) and 9/11 happened while I was being operated on. That obviously left me with serious complications for the rest of my life considering the staff were in a sudden panic while I was under. This was in a major city and nobody knew wtf was going to happen, if the same thing was going to happen in every major city. From that day on until I was 18 years old and could make my own medical decisions, I endured countless “corrective” surgeries against my will and understanding. I will never forget the many long long drives to and from the hospital, at times while a few very painful emergency side effects post operation were happening and my mom would be speeding us an hour away to the hospital. Being forced under anesthesia against my will as a little kid. Multiple nurses holding me down while the surgeon force fed me the gas mask while I tried my hardest to kick and scream begging them to stop. Only to wake up on tons of pain killers and nauseas from anesthesia. At six years old this started, I have endured more corrective surgeries on my left eye than I can even count. Until I was a little older they all began and ended like that, forced, and scared,feeling no control over my own fait with little understanding of what was happening to me. Even though I had family there with me to comfort me as best they could I always felt deeply like nobody truly saw what I was experiencing or understood what I was feeling. Just chalked up to being a scared kid, which I guess is all it ultimately was considering the operations were deemed necessary. Only I still have extremely limited vision in my left eye if you can even call it vision. I have never come across anyone who has come close to understanding.
This all lead me to dealing with severe opiate and amphetamine addiction for almost ten years more recently in life, and in one way or another I was always brought back to this track during my most dark lonely and disturbing moments in addictions and suicidal ideations. You are not alone.
same bro but in my right
My bestfriend and I used to listen to it, i didn't really realized in how much pain he was back in the day, should'have listen to the clue before he take his life... Please listen to your family and friends, thank you and have a good day.
Damn...
rest in peace
r.i.p. 🥺
been where you are, lost 2 friends to suicide. you never know what someone’s going thru in their heads despite how they present themselves RIP to your friend, sadly these are one of the few things where time can’t heal that pain

To actually hear my own personal thoughts effortlessly released from his tongue resonates with my soul.
Artic Raven this is beautiful! u have a way with words missus/mister :-)
his depression flow is godly and that last verse just hit right home, fam. it hit right home..
Hits home every time
Strong words…
I remember listening to this song six years ago when those suicidal thoughts were in my head and heart. My mom passed away a year before and I left home at the age of 16. I listened to this song wishing I could just go with her, I wrote several letters saying goodbye and now that I'm back I can say that life is getting harder but I know I have an angel watching over me. Thnx Earl for make me feel less alone with my mental illness.
All the best man. It's hard but keep moving and you'll get to where you need to be. Mentally and otherwise
@@beatsbybroke4611 thanks! I’m just living it and being honest with my feelings and trying to make the difference.
@@Ana-kd6yu I suffered the near same exact situation last year at 15, i got back into a stable position. wish i listened to this more when life was harder
@@crives1525 It’s very heartwarming to listen this song when everything is falling apart, it was a refuge for me. I hope you get the wisdom and strength you needed in those turbulent times, you’ll never be the same person than yesterday but you are not alone! life is about learnings. :•)
mental illness is so hard to deal with, it’s not like you get one and go to a doctor and it gets treated in hours. it’s much harder then that, and the fact that you can get through that means you are very brave and strong, keep fighting because it will be worth it in the end.
when his voice breaks when he’s saying “my hectic process of thinking” makes that part so much sadder.

i’ve been listening to this a lot recently bc i’ve been extremely sad the past weeks, my grandma died and i’m being bullied in school. i can relate to every single word earl says on this ep and it makes me feel better. thank you earl.
I'm really sorry what happened, I hope that even though your world is so dark right now, you are soon able to see some light in the memories you've had with your grandma.
When you’re going through an extended period of depression/grief, it’s important to train yourself to look at the good in everything until it’s muscle memory. It’s not going to take the weight off your shoulders but it’ll keep you grounded, at least it has for me.

This project is brutally honest and I love it. Earl is one of my favorite artist, I'm glad he exists.
Remy Carter me too bro me too
"I got my grandmama's hands, I start to cry when I see them because they remind me of seeing her" Never heard a better line
it's incredible how audio recordings capture emotions and freeze them for eternity, I saw a comment that said that this song was recorded all in one night, and i just think how that night and that ambience got froze into a track forever, this song is truly a great piece of art, deep emotions frozen for eternity
"I'm the youngest old man that you know"... stole the words right out my mouth
I hope Earl copes okay with Macs passing because Earls tweeting is showing that he ain’t feeling too well especially since his dad died this year too. As much as I want another Earl album I want Earl to feel good and well and just continue living. Pray for Earl before he’s gone. Rest in power to Mac as well.
Yeezus Piece what did he say about Mac on twitter ?
xavier bankston to some up he gave condolences to his family and made fans know he’s okay and hinted at maybe upcoming music.
I wish I could just give the dude a hug man
Goes to show how much his fans love him, when three years later comments still get to the top like this. Cheers man
To be honest though the two newest singles were straight heat no filler and amazing . :)))

fell asleep one night with earl playing on RUclips, literally woke up at like 3:33am and one song ended and this came on, I’d never heard it before and i was lying in the dark with the only light coming from the tv feeling freaked out by the intro and the transition from pink to black was the most comforting and freaky thing ever, whenever i listen it reminds me of that

i was in the same situation but i gave up and dropped out. dont let it get to you man, take the real initiative and do everything you can. things will get better u just gotta work for it. dont let it ruin your head and control you. you control it. bless up
I feel you, it sucks to be alone specially school, a place where many interact and socialize. Unfortunately that place is full of people who are only trying to impress others. Ive been doing me for 2 years at college now and that’s something i noticed. Just stay true to yourself and keep moving forward. When the right people come along, youll notice. Keep pushing forward brother.

Earl will forever be my all time favorite artist. His music just resonates with me and I feel it all on a personal level.
Sensei at this point Earl is my favorite rapper I don't know if it will change. In a way I hope I come over someone better then Earl because he is one of the first rappers I have listened to and the best so far so I want to find someone better instead of thinking every time I listen to a new artist like "oh well he/she is not as good as Earl". But then agian Earl is an amazing lyrisist and will always be amazing.
Yup
To the tee i agree with this

This is a landmark in music. The way it can go from feeling hopeful to bringing you down in seconds is almost unlike anything I've heard. It really shows you the potential music has as an art form.

I wonder how his mother responded listening to this. Hope Earl finds his inner peace.
She probably was happy that he matured, but sad that he misses his grandmother.
In an NPR interview he said he made this project especially for his mom, he said it was the only thing he's made to date that he was proud enough of/was appropriate enough to show her
His moms a professor at UCLA, she's probably worried about his xanax problems, his eating disorder, his depression, and the lack of sleep he's getting. Even though this song is when he finds his inner peace. He's getting better now though.

Ain't drank in two days after months of drinking every day, thought it'd help. Started my meds again, just made me tired. Sick of waking up, trying to eat , trying to fake it, etc. I'm currently on lunch at my job in my car crying listening to this. This will always be my favorite Earl song, always. They say life gets better, I been waiting 10years to stop feeling like this, stop thinking like this. I been in therapy for years. I even graduated college this year and I yet I still could care less about anything. No matter what I do, what I try, it's never gotten better. I'm still at my retail job.

i remember sitting in in-school suspension having to write a letter to my english teacher not to fail me and listening to this song over and over to cope
most of the times students can’t focus because of their family situation. nobody ever cared in my case. had to pull myself up by the bootstraps.

there’s no depressed state I’m in, no paranoia lingering in me. I just feel nothing. Like I’m not motivated to do anything and I know I have gifts to show this world but I just don’t feel like getting out of bed. Just feel nothing
I was the exact same way about a month ago. I didn’t get enjoyment from anything anymore, I felt no desire to do the hobbies I most enjoyed, i was even repulsed to talking to my closeted friends. Instead, I just layed in bed for almost the entire day every day doing nothing. I was never sad though, everything just felt meaningless in an emotionally absent way. I started seeing a therapist though and yes, these feelings are very much a result of depression. As the other replier said, depression doesn’t necessarily have to be emotional sadness. Anyway, sorry for rambling there, I just hope you’re doing good now.

Woke up with the piano part on my airpods on the middle of the night. Can tell it was the most uncomfortable and scary shit i have felt.
I’ve been coming back to this song since 15 years old. I’m 22 now. Things get better, then get worse for a minute. Sometimes you just stay worst though.
God damn man
Can relate
God bless ya bro, on the same boat. 22 years old, but been listening to this for too long. Depression is a beast we learn to live with, sometimes it gets the upper hand, but I can’t let it win. Hope you don’t let it win either, stay up king
@@erosmorales2329 Our eyes are not only viewers they’re also projectors that are running a second story over the picture that we see infront of us all the time, fear is writing that script and the working title is; I’ll never be enough.- Jim Carey. Hope you take something out of this quote bro. Goodluck to you all on your journey. Depression is a beast but meditation and therapy are the two biggest tools you have available.
I‘m 23 and been listening since it came out too. Kinda makes me depressed ngl
I cried to this song last night. Whenever I feel like my atmosphere is dark and I feel hopeless, I always listen to this. It’s a way I can cope with my feelings. I haven’t cried in years but this time I felt weak. I’m just happy this song exists.
" time waits for no man and death waits with cold hands "
EDIT: damn it's been 5 years!

Old hands

I'm the youngest old man
Lungelo That reminds me when I was younger I didn’t really understand funerals and death really well my grandfather on my dads side had passed and I asked my mom “Why is he so cold?”
1:40 That piano tho 🔥🔥
My grandmother just passed from covid earlier this week. Coming back here is oddly comforting. Thanks Earl.
Take care of yourself, & sorry for your loss.
My condolences
same here homie feel u
hope you're doing a little better bro. day by day. you're never alone.
All love king. Hope you’re in a good place.
This is Imo Earl's masterpiece. How he's able to encompass his emotional rut through the instrumentals, the lyrics, tone/voice. It all comes together as one of the best expressions of sadness/depression & anger in which few could ever capture authentically.
I Pray everyone gets through for their solace & eventually to peace.
Solace has to be one of the deepest tracks ever created. This song is the only song i’ve ever listened to that accurately describes how it feels to be depressed. This isn’t some 2 and a half minute throwaway that he calls “deep” like so many rappers put out today. This isn’t even music, this is pure art.
This track reminds me what it feels like to be at my lowest and I come back and listen to it when I need a reminder. We’re all fighting an uphill battle, don’t call it off before you see it through.
earl was the og mr lonely
yesterdaysnight nah cudi
CherryBomb gonna have to agree on that one
Nah, Akon.
@@shiz104 damn, that's true
@Rico Risken making a song talking about struggles and emotions doesn't mean he is known for it cause nas is known for his lyricism and storytelling cudi was the first in the main stream to have that as a theme of his music
this song is like auditory calligraphy
