I miss you Eyedea. Thanks for what you do for me

This song is ridiculous, he wrote it when he was 16, and it's one of the most brilliant, eloquently written works of art I've ever bore witness to... it's also really relatable to my current sitch, funny how I'm in the same place as the king known as eyedea, and how his ultimate understanding would lead to his demise

[ThatsCoolJoshua]

this let alot of people know they weren't alone

[aytothakay]

There's a natural flow, that's attached to your soul/
It don't ask you to go, it just gradually pulls/
Its always now and you're never not you/
So follow yourself 'cause if nothing else, your existence is true

-Eyedea (RIP)

Wish I was friends with all these people who say they connected to this song just as much as I did

“No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you.”

Eyedea is the mentor I never had. When I discovered him, times were different but I found my self in a pot of kindred souls. We are not alone but will feel that way forever. All I can say is, thank you to everyone in this community for spreading the love and angst we all feel.
Eyedea, Michael Larsen:
A lost beautiful philosopher which inspired us.
I can't think of a stronger genuine person.
Aesop Rock is a wonder and purely once in a millennium but he is more satirical with his cleverness.

[Snow-Poff]

This song actually helped me a lot, i used to listen to it all the time a few years ago, when i felt super estranged and kept researching Buddhism, Hindu philosophy, hermetic wisdom, esotericism, and metaphysics. I also did a lot of acid and shrooms.. I was so, disconnected. I was so, cynical. (A lot of the knowledge I still keep, of course).
Now, 2 years later I feel like the second part of the song, and I haven't touched drugs in over a year. Lots of yoga and relaxation. Happiness.

[Swaebeats]

This is so relatable to my life. I’m the black sheep in my family, my mother always worries. Depression, anxiety, my father passing away two and half years ago, a lot of existential dread and hopelessness but somehow I’m still here. I’m always in the rabbit holes of conspiracy theories, philosophy and spirituality looking for answers and meaning. Trying DMT really blew me out of the waters and changed my perspective. The mind is so fragile man one can go insane and lose everything or one can let go and become free. Thank you Mikey Larson, seriously..

[Gotalighter]

Eyedea, I don't' think you realize how many of your fans miss the hell out of your interpretations of what this life is really like for a lot of us. You will be missed forever. R.EYE.P

"We become the writers, the actors, and the audience at the exact same time"

This song always finds me again when I'm at an overruminated caused low point, and helps guide me back to reset my thinking to an external observer perspective, like looking from the outside in onto my own thoughts and situation and helps recover my self in a time of losing myself within overthinking overruminating. hope you all find your way to pt2 in time <3

[Vibekilla]

Rest up Eyedea. Thank you for all you've taught me.

Way ahead of his time 3rd eye hiphop ish is what God wants us to listen 🕊️

[lomf]

These tracks can answer a lot of questions during tough times.

My sister in law and I use to talk about this "dive" all the time and how much it changed us and how terrifying it is until you just stop fighting it, then it becomes so obvious. I showed her this song a while back after I heard she had a similar experience and it blew her away. It's so good to know you're not alone so thank you all for sharing your experiences as well

[adamcook]

Nobody will ever convince me that this isn't the best song of all time. It's not close.

[JAHJAWiii]

I swear eyedea was/ is some sort of guardian angel. I havent come across an artist that has had as many people say that this person (eyedea) saved their life. Beautiful, beautiful stuff.

[Mrcoconutgun]

This is the only song ive ever heard that gives me constant chills throughout, fucking phenomenal.

[Mishikaza]

This album's been with me for half my life I related so much to this particular song. But i didnt realize 10 years later id actually experience my first terrifying episode. Thanks Eyedea! I wish you were still around!

[KireiKensho]

when you listened to this song for 7 years and finally got the message
