I nearly forgot abouth this song until I heard TimH’s version of it, now I can’t stop listening to it again. Great song 🙂
The feels I’ve no idea why I teared up. Great song nonetheless Q.Q
fantastic lyrics!
I love this song so much. It would mean the world to me if you guys would take the time to listen to my cover. (:
A song to truly make me tear up and smile at the same time. 🙂 i miss you grandpa
He’s released multiple albums since ’07. Check them out!
this song brings a tear to my eye everytime the lyrics have so much meaning . Puts me in one of them modes where im think about my life . LOVE IT
Seeing the effects of aging beginning to take their toll on my own father, even as he continues to work himself harder and harder still than he had even worked before…this song makes me recognize that looking at what’s happening to him and around him…it frightens me. Mortality is scary to think about.
=3D thanks for da truth Lol im his momma! Lolz

I feel like almost everything he does is serious … he just doesn’t make it feel so serious. There’s an interview of him basically explaining how his master plan is to use humor and impressive rap to trick people into listening to his existential poetry. It’s called “Watsky One on One Rap Battle Edition”
I <3 Watsky he’s a hottie
actually such a good song, release an album!
So he is capable of being serious…Makes him that much more awesome. <3
I feel like this song is based off of something in his life
holy shit watsky…fucking onions man
Playing Halo with your dad? That sounds like the best idea ever!
That’s deep shit. So many feelings
@REP0manian It’s a sample of another song. Name is in the description. Look up the tabs for that one.
TO MANY FEELS, I LOVE THIS SONG, BUT JUST SO MANY FEES .________.
Because It’s a good song and feeling sad reminds us all that we’re only human.
Even though I know that was a rhetorical question, thought I should answer :)
I never understood that about that response….How would one figure out whether or not they liked something without watching it?
I tear up every time. Why do I keep listening!?
ummm, what?
