Hey man. I am good. How are you? Life has it's ups and downs and I have lost some faith in humanity and I am disgusted by the fake reality and system we live in. But I am still trying to push forward and save the world with the rest of the empaths and beautiful souls that are awakened or on their way. I feel bad for all the sheeple and those that just don't know. Ignorance is bliss I guess yet in some ways I like knowing what's going on. But it is maddening we may never break out of this system.....RIP Eyedea still bump your legendary words.

Thanks, I’m a recovering addict and I went to school for biomed, chem minor, but I prefer creative writing these days... I also love philosophy but you cannot make a living off of that.

I met eyedea at 5th element. Went there to buy an eyedea tshirt for my son for christmas in 99. The person ringing my purchase said hes here right now if you'd like to meet him. I said of course he was a huge influence on my both of my sons and still is. He yelled to the back " hey eyedea theres a parent that wants to meet you" he peered from the ba k hesitated came out shook my hand. I asked him to sign the shirt for me. He got that huge smile on his face and said usually when a parent comes to meet me they want to kick my ass. Ignorant parenrs need to be more aware of their childrens music. If they'd just listen .anyway. What a nice guy. Had great conversation. So sad that this brilliant poet is no longer on earth. He lives on....helping the young and old 50 year olds thru his words. Thank you ! RIP

I like this song because it is not forced positivity, it is an honest acceptance of our pain and the deep sadness of life. But embracing it and acknowledging the beauty of life is also just as valid and true as that pain and sadness. We can connect with each other and help one another while we are here. Much love to you all.

I had a bad day today. Sometimes it feels like being true to yourself and doing the best you can to promote goodwill in the universe only brings hurt back to you. Eyedea didn't get to see the reach of his goodwill towards everyone, but that didn't matter to him, and he did it because that's who he is and he wanted to touch anyone's heart that his voice could reach. Thank you Michael, you are beautiful and inspiring piece of the cosmic tapestry that binds us all to each other for eternity.

The same time Eyedea died I woke up in ICU from aspirating (vomiting from opiates and breathing it in my lungs) I had very similar problems as he did with anxiety and insomnia as well as legit pain meds prescribed to me which makes me not think what he did was purposeful suicide. I took the same combination of drugs for pain and sleep I always had for 10 years.. but that night I vomited in my sleep and breathed in into my lungs and basically died. Im lucky someone came home found me and called 911. I woke up in the ICU so confused and it wasnt intentional. Benzo's, Opiates, and Sleep Aids all legally prescribed could have killed me too and looked like suicide but it wasnt. I was self medicating and a deep thinker. Sometimes I wish i died and he lived because I believe his contributions to the world are beautiful. When he died I realized he really was speaking about the same problems I was suffering from in metaphors from his song. He inspired me to quit all the meds and ive been in rehab sober for 6 months.

The "Coincidences" that come along with his music and the people it touches are far more than something to brush off your shoulder and forget about. I have shed more tears in the name of Michael Larsen than that of my own father who died from a heroin overdose. Sadly I discovered him in 2010 after his physical light had been extinguished and I had undergone opiate addiction myself. Then I found out he died on the night of my 18th birthday adj later after I found this song, I called him out at the ending. When he was saying all you gotta do is ask I was in tears with my eyes closed SHUT, and told him prove it, that second there was a single white flash and then it was gone. This is more than a song.

SnowStorm24 SnowStorm24 Im ok... I ended up in the ICU for a second time at the start of November & I was pretty upset because once I backed off all the meds and had been taking care of myself I fell out again. :-( Nothing like waking up in the ICU with a breathing tube shoved down your throat with no memory of how or why I ended up there. Apparently it wasn't even the first hospital that I ended up in before I finally came too. When I woke up they already had an IV line in me and were giving me IV dilaudid because they had no buprenorphine in the whole hospital. So basically they made me dry out on the Subutex.. switch to Dilaudid and then when I left I had to do the switch back to buprenorphine which was hell on my sanity. It's been a few weeks and I'm just starting to get the ability to continue on with my life. Besides that I'm doing better and I'm still fighting the daily battle to get myself out of this mess. I'm alive and I still have a chance to change things which is alot more then I can say for my fallen friends over the last few years.

Were all born into this river without knowing how to swim And eventually we learn how to keep this water under our chins Some times this rivers so cold to be in Freezing my soul, solidifying my skin Regardless of how far I see, I never see my travels end Were carried by the current, being driven by the wind The scenery we pa**, we'll never see again So we store it up as memories and don't let go of them Were under a spell thinking the river should go straight We set goals and desires to control our own fate But all the pain we experience is a result of our expectations Because it's the rivers nature to twist and turn That sh** can burn And I know it I have the same conflict But I try to sit and flow with this rivers natural process And sometimes when I watch myself float downstream I see the beauty of it all, and it feels like a dream And at that time I appreciate the rivers course Some call it God, reality, momentum, force I stare up at the naked moon, and she stares down at me Outside thoughts boundaries, I'm all I look outward to see. The universe is not something separate from yourself I know you feel alone, but that's why I'm here to help I know you feel alone, but just look up at the stars And everything that is out there is what you really are We gotta learn to see the beauty in each moment of life Everyone has different paths and we're seeking the light The world is divided between peasants and kings But the truth is everyone is looking for the same thing Now I want you to know The role you play is part of the whole Without you it couldn't be, and I mean that with compa**ion So if you ever need anything, I mean anything at all I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man I'm here for you, in the same way that you're here for me Each person in an intricate piece of infinity I feel that if you could see what I see Then we as humanity could be free I'm here for you, not for any self centered reasons But because existence is interdependent and all is related, Connected as different manifestations of one single mind You ain't isolated from the world even though it feels like that sometimes I see the hurt when I look into your eyes How you struggle to hold it and keep in bundled inside It drives a dull blade deep in my heart; it makes me want to cry So I offer you a hand to help wash away the rainy skies I'm running out of words, but I haven't yet made my message clear So if none of this makes sense, I just want you to know I'm here As a musician, as a friend, as a teacher, as a student To grow and realize that everything's in constant movement Each problem that we face is just a part of this movement It seems helpless, but if we stick together we'll get through it And return to the essence from which we've been uprooted And wake humanity from these illusions The second you can look into the sky and see your own reflection You know your headed in the right direction The river's ride ain't always smooth, but with it I live And everything is perfect, just the way it is We gotta learn to see the beauty in each moment of life Everyone has different paths and we're seeking the light The world is divided between peasants and kings But the truth is everybody's looking for the same thing Now I want you to know The role you play is part of the whole Without you it couldn't be, and I mean that with compa**ion So if you ever need anything, I mean anything at all I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man I'm here for you; all you gotta do is ask man

no other song makes me cry but this song makes me cry so hard cuz eyedea really knew how we all feel and he knew how to put it into a beautiful art

because existence is interdependent....micheal larsen came into my life when i was very surface level and trying to grow and enjoy life. i let those substances wash over my identity more than solidify anything. but i have such vivid memories of some of the times i shared with Eyedea. I will never stop appreciating those moments, thank you buddy. i hope you did what was right for you at the end of the day. i still miss you.

I never cry. Maybe like twice in the last 5 years. this shit made me tear up

its like his soul lives on through his music. He keeps on helping us and guiding us through his words. Hes like a shaman disguised as a musician. I fucking love this man

This mans philosophies are brilliant ..probably the realest most introspective, thought provoking ,and deep truthful songwriters ever ..or atleast one of

It blows my mind. His lyricism's so poetic and illustrative. Front to back, his album By The Throat with Abilities is some of the deepest music I've ever heard

I will become the man God wants me to be. Not because of me, but because of him. Everything's perfect just the way it is.

Are you sure?

Rest in Peace, Eyedea. I am heartbroken I didn’t know you before your passing. I’ll create a legacy just for you❤️

I started wild-swimming recently but something came over me over the last few days, and i stopped. Today I had this quote playing through my head as i headed to the swim spot. I jumped into the river! It was cold, but made me feel alive.

I had just come across this song about an hour ago & then I had a friend literally message me telling me to listen to this. So here I am, thank you Grace. Thank you Mikey ❤️ and thank you Mac.

I listened to Eyedea growing up, and he's modern day poetry at it's best. His music is truly timeless, lyrical and magical. Please don't be dead Michael...

This is the only mc that brings me to tears constantly. It's so damn beautiful.

Amazing! He was so conscious...his thinking. what a gem

i love how the majority of comments on ANY of Eyedeas vids are on the positive tip... big up x

Shedding light to these kids....We are all one. Thank you for trying to show everyone this Micheal. Such a fckin beautiful soul, I know you're on to bigger and better things now, finally free from this illusion filled dimension. R. EYE. P

R EYE P. so thankful i got to tell him "thank you" at his show in baton rouge louisiana, i'll never forget that moment, he was surrounded by groupies and i just kepy my distance and told him thank you as a tear fell from my eye, he looked directly into my eyes and i saw myself in him

My mom just passed away. Its the beautiful moments we had all my life that are perfect, thank you and rip

Jose Lopez -Someone said the beginning is from a "really good movie" (I never saw it)..but it's called "Pushing Tin" and the two ppl talking are Billy Bob Thornton and John Cusack. Makes perfect sense once I re-listened to it.

Keep finding myself coming back to this song had to leave my little mark

"Jump in the river!" Our best chance for survival may hide in the tremors of the cursed. Eyedea Rests in Power. Always.

What I don't understand is why there are so many dislikes on this. I get that everyone doesn't share the same view, or maybe they just don't like the beat, or the video, or his voice, but how does this not touch your soul? This song alone has changed my entire view on life. Everyone on this planet is here for the same thing, everyone on this planet hurts, everyone on this planet is worth something, and we're all here to be here for one another. I can't believe how much this man who was dead before I even started listening to him has shaped my life. R EYE P.

Wish I could’ve been there for you Michael! I love you! there is something special about you so genuine! Word can’t even describe your beautiful soul. Thanks for being you man,we lost the realest one and a poet...You will forever be missed 💔

eyedeas dont die.. they pass on from person to person. he is not gone... your thoughts and desires control your own fate and this was his fate.. to help change the lives of others. this song.. smile and the dive have completely transformed my life into something else.. i didnt know what was happening me, i thought i was losing my mind and ig i was in a way.. but you cant loose your mind if you dont believe in its existence.. so you should let go instead. this song relates to a dream i have had for a very long time.. i've made many mistakes and some of those things cant be fixed.. but i realized i can help prevent these things from happening to others and i can be here for them when things do happen because its the rivers nature to twist and turn and shit. I also write my own music and ive been trying to create something with these messages in it for a while now.. i cant always get the point across while talking.. but in a song.. i seem to be able to express things clearly.. so im gonna see what happens. who gave me this eyedea? eyedea lol. i think he must have spelt it eyedea instead of idea because he wanted us to see these eyedeas ourselves and we could do something with them. That's something im going to do.. write the contents my own book.

Same sentiment. I was never depressed or going through a drug addiction, but Eyedea's lyrics still have had a profound impact on me; they've taught me to see the beauty in everything.

few months ago, my cousin committed suicide, at that time I was listening to this song a lot, and Eyedea was the rapper I was talking to him about, and my regret is that I didn't show him this particular song before he did, so he'd knew I was there for him, it hurts like a bitch to see my lil brother go like that .... R.EYE.P Mehdi, and Eyedea

great eyedeas never die

i comeback whenever im down, he really is here for you. R.EYE.P

I don't know what I'd be or what I would do with my life if it wasn't for him!

He's so underrated & was so cute. I hate that he never got the love he properly deserved during his lifetime.

Such an underrated song. #RIPeyedea I didn't get into his music until a few years ago, really wish he was still around making quality music like this. 7 years, gone but not forgotten.

This song never ends.

I love how, whenever I come back to this song and here the part “The river ride ain’t always smooth but with it I’ll live, & everything is perfect just the way it is” it’s always a different situation

I think this is literally the only song to ever make me tear up

this is the most beautiful, uplifting thing, oh my gosh
