0:30 @HIVE "Feeling so rushed by life, getting good grades, getting a license, getting a job, all of that as fast as I possibly could without really taking much time for myself and others around me. It feels nice to stop and enjoy life, it really is. I would say that it is even essential, because it really makes you realize where you are headed, if it is something you want or not."

My late fiancé introduced me to your music. It’s been about 4 years since she died, and every time I hear one of your songs, it reminds me of her. Your music is truly a masterpiece just like she was. Thank you.

The worst part of being young is the fact we all want to grow up when in reality we were truly happy with everything as is back then

[bonjr]

1 month 11 days sober from alcohol here. Living with my alcoholic family is tough but I will prevail. Much love to everyone. ❤

When the pain has become a part of you, so when you're pain free, you feel empty.

Dear Bonjr, i think you should know that people around the whole world, even in places you have never heard about (Reunion Island here), listen to your songs to find the comfort they can't find anywhere else. There's something so true and pure, warm and cold, aching and soothing in them...
When i feel like i'm failing at life, when everything else doesn't make sense anymore, i always come back to them. And it's never enough, i never stop needing those songs. They inspire me to take the next step, to reconnect after accepting to lose myself for a moment.
So, truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you ♡.

This makes me feel so alone, but in the most comfortable way possible.

[CarrotTheParrot]

Its somehow weird, how this song and "its okay, youre okay" have a very unique way of being understood
They are not your typical songs, but they have a very powerful message, depending on how you feel or your life is going
I have listened "its okay, youre okay" for literally more than 10 hours for sure.
These are simple masterpieces and I really want to thank you mr.bonjr

[VoicesCollide]

Just realised why I feel so alone.

Not because I physically am alone but because I have alot of people around me that act like I don't exist.

[anujj]

It's like this song unlocked so many memories that I had completely forgotten about. It made me see memories that I didn't know I had...
I can listen to this for hours and hours, contemplating life, living nostalgia and fantasizing about the perfect childhood I wished I had...

Please never stop upload music, there’s no artist like you.

[FreeDom-xjxc]

The way i interpret the title is to be a reference to derealization, a wanting for death knowing that the world around you isn't real, and the reassurance of staying if it is the opposite OR a relationship that no longer feels authentic, falling apart; that only if it were real as it was, you would stay.

Now i can shut down myself in deep-root that lies in the bottom of the void.

[DNDMarcus]

This song makes me feel like I've let down not only myself but everyone around me and its too late to fix anything

[Jaguar-lrjq]

This music give me the saddest vibe, it makes me feel like i wanna isolate my self and don’t wanna be found

[Tayehl]

This is the song you hear when you think your life is going well but it's not.

[oscarknight]

I’d like to tell my story, because thanks to you I’ve been able to keep moving forward.
I’m a digital artist and I’ve been struggling with severe depression and suicidal tendencies for the past three years, I’m 20 at the moment. My life took a sour turn when I was 17 and if I’m being honest, I haven’t recover from that.
I learned to deal with all of it by myself, and became a very introspective guy, but there are times when I just feel like I can’t keep going, it feels like I’m drowning under deep and dark water and don’t really know If I’m swimming for the surface or the bottom, but when I play your songs while I’m painting, it feels as if life turns from black&white to a beautiful deep blue, cold and gentle; it’s as if I found the meaning to everything and nothing at the same time. Your songs make me feel like I’m not broken anymore, it’s soothing and comforting.
You are an amazing producer and a terrific musician; you brought peace to a tormented soul, and you have helped me to connect with myself once more in order to keep on doing what I love, thank you🖤

[azalea]

this song gives me the vibe of being caressed/comforted after a tragic event like you just lost someone you needed and cared deeply for and you dont have much hope left but the people you have left are there for you to try to calm you down and reassure you its going to be okay

[jellynightninjathe]

This song…finally made me realize she isn’t coming back. But the memories I have of her will continue to shine like diamonds. And for that I’ll wait

[danaluha]

I listened to this a lot while my son was away in the military and i was recovering from heartbreak, surgery, and isolation. Something about it was comforthing and it helped me to keep pushing forward.
