Can't be a techno dj if your not constantly smoking during your set. Or at least seems so from hours and hours of Boiler Room.

It hurts so much to know what could have been. Thank you i_o for giving us what you gave, we won't ever forget your legacy. Fly high, dude.

One of the greatest trance songs of all time revamped by an absolute master of his craft. Rest easy i_o, may your legacy live on.

should have been the Tune of the Year 2020 truly a touching song

i've been to this page a lot, hearing this track first in ASOT 1000 only to learn the unfortunate news... i never properly said goodbye, thank you garrett, you won't be forgotten, keep raving in the Castles In The Sky

depression if unnoticed is worse than a cancer rip top bloke

Still constantly think about you i_o, especially when your tunes come on. Legend gone too soon 😢

Rest in peace, know we still respect your music

RIP bro thanks for the hits

Early 20's in early 2000's good memories

Anything is possible, you just got to believe. It's really unfortunate to have this artist passed away at such a young age. Don't give up on your dreams guys. Never give up

Made it into the top 10 asot trance songs of the year he would be so proud rip dude he’s raving in the sky for sure

Saddest song of 2020! impossible not to cry..... Rest in Peace Garrett

How has this only got 12k likes!? People don't know music. Lucky I was a 1989 kid and got to experience classics like this ❤

Heard this dude died, saw Castles in the Sky and immediately thought ian van dahl had passed away... come to find its this young man who had made his own version. Been a long time for me, my generation was 1999-2009 ian vahn dahl/bt/ferry corsten/tiesto/oceanlab (just before the deadmaus/dub step boom..) RIP "Garrett". Trance 4ever. Plur to you youngsters, stay happy and stay safe.

I can't even bring myself to wear my 444 gear. Knowing I'll never be able to get it ever again. Hell even LFG doesn't seem too be running anymore and I was so stoked for their techno inspired clothing.

The horde stays with you i_o!

The most beautiful trance track of this year! Rip Garrett ❤️

The fact that the last post on his FB before this released was a photo of him with just the caption "do you ever question ur lifer" is beautifully morbid....

What a song and I’m so sad Garrett Lockhart has passed as this was his first song I’ve ever heard from him and now no more 😢
