    Incredible for Porter to make a song like this after saying this about Fresh Static Snow from Worlds in 2014:
    Robinson said, "Fresh Static Snow, to me, is about this idea that I was really obsessed with when I was at my loneliest. About this idea that there necessarily exists a best, like, romantic partner for every person in the world, somewhere out there. ... There are billions of people out there, and ... you'll only meet a fraction of them, and, to me, the-the likelihood that you'll ever meet a person that will make you that happy is just infinitesimal. ... There's a very, very small chance of that, and ... if you really consider the idea that that person is out there and exists and is walking ... and, you know, the notion that you will never know each other, that really made me really sad, I think. And this song was ... me, like, dedicating something to whoever that-that person is. Maybe they'll hear it; how fucking cool would that be?"

      NOT only is it crazy to me he is on GENIUS.
      It’s crazy to me that he SANG an acapella of ANY of his songs.
      I remember when he did his album play through stream for Worlds. He said he last second hopped on the vocals for Sad Machine. And he just basically said screw it. And was so insecure about his vocals.
      But Porter has pipes. Whether through training or not, he has pipes. And I’m glad he came out of that shell.

    I have said this in other posts about blossom but I am beyond happy this song came out when it did.
    When the album came out, my fiancee and I didn't really have a wedding song we liked for our first dance, but when we heard Blossom, we knew it was the song. We have liked Porter for years and never thought he would make a love song like this at the perfect time for us.
    Our wedding is June 19th 2021 and we can't wait to have this song as our first dance song and we are playing it on vinyl so we can frame it after!

    No matter how many times I listen to this song, it always makes me cry. Porter put into words what I always feel and think about, and it always touches my heart. Plus the guitar is very close to my hear cause my dad used to always play guitar to me when I was little, so it reminds me of him and my mom

    Porter: anyone who´s listening or watching this right now to just take a second and picture somebody who you really love and really want the best for it doesn´t need to be romantic, it doesn´t need to be family just somebody who you think is awesome
    pov: *I imagine Porter Robinson*

    I love how this song can be interpreted as being about any form of love to anyone or anything, and wanting the world for them. It makes it all the more relatable for everyone, especially those who might not have s/o's or crushes. Keep up the amazing work man 🎶📀

    Me and my ex made out under a full moon by a river that has a lot of sentimental value to me for the whole last half of Nurture. I remember us holding each other and looking down at her and she looked almost blue under the moon light, and she looked back at me and that feeling of being so in love and finally being accepted by another person. She’s gone now but I got to take my best friend to see Porter 2 days ago so life goes on.

    On most days, it is impossible for me to get through this song without sobbing.
    It makes me think of those that I've lost, and how I spent the time we had together (I was so lost in thought, but you were there living), of the irrational but desperate wish to take away their pain in passing (I'll die and I'll save your place, and you'll never suffer), and of the hopeless desperation of being willing, but unable, to force a reunion with them (If I can't stop time, I'll build a world where God cannot take us).

    Before I was considering buying tickets to see Porter on this tour he’s on, I was listening to Nurture and Blossom made me cry immediately so I bought the tickets.
    And when he played Blossom, tears streamed down my face the entire time.
    It was cathartic. The person I think of when I hear it, we aren’t together as of now, but I think about her. It’s hard. But I am so happy that this still makes me feel.
