Illenium - Three Thoughts on Addiction (Vevo Originals)
“Addiction is fucked. It makes you fall in love with something that can’t love you back.” ILLENIUM comes by his opinion the hard way. The famed producer/DJ, whose real name is Nick Miller, has struggled heavily with the impact of drug abuse. Last year’s “Feel Good” reminded listeners that we all need to rely on each other during personal crises. But fans also know that ILLENIUM is totally candid about his problems, too. “Take You Down” was inspired by a desperate moment in his life. Miller, who has lived through an OD scare, had been kicked out of rehab, and felt he had nowhere left to go before his mom’s love steered him straight. He discusses the ups and downs of his plight in our “3 Thoughts…Addiction,” powered by truth, Ad Council and the Office of National Drug Control Policy. “Every [new] song is part of a healing process,” says ILLENIUM, “and what helped me stay on the right path was a close community of friends.”

It's something that loves you back ^.^
What I like about Illenium is that on the rare occasion his songs are about drugs and partying (actually I think only has one song about addiction) he doesn't talk about how fun it is, it's about the struggle and consequences that come with it and not all artists can admit to their fans their problems and that's what I like about him #Respect

“Addiction is fucked. It makes you fall in love with something that can’t love you back” damn that hit hard
You helped me do away with my depression. I've loved your music ever since I watched a Destiny montage with Crawl Outta Love. 4 out of 5 of my most listened to songs on Spotify are from you! You're amazing. I love you and everything you do!

I cannot relate to this more. I am a current alcoholic and struggle everyday. Instead of looking at everything in the past as a failure, instead look at it as a step in the right direction. Thank you illenium.
Simply the best artist out there in our generation!

One night I had so many terrible thoughts in my head I was youtubing music to make me feel better. When I finished a song called Reverie from Illenium it hit me so hard in the feels that I once the song finished I simply thought "I want to make other people feel like this" now thanks to illenium I am trying to learn music production and in turn make other people feel something like I did because of this amazing artist.

Sebz that’s so awesome! His music is so powerful. The first time I ever heard his music was the song “It’s All On U” and I literally had to pull my car over cause I had so many emotions going through me I couldn’t focus on driving it was so powerful. Good luck on your musical journey! If you ever need music production/life advice hit me up at SLFLSS music on SoundCloud or any of my socials I’d love to hear your music!

music has saved so many lives it's bonkers. imagine a world without music. there would be no one to relate to in your darkest times that you can't speak out about. there would be no tropical island to escape to when your house has a bad atmosphere. & no way of finding musical related love (at festivals and events). music is life.
I love you Illenium. I've been listening to your music since 2016 and I've struggled with depression and addiction and your music is pure therapy. I saw you perform at Lost Lands 2017 and I literally cried. I'm currently 17 days clean from opiates and you're truly an inspiration.
His music has helped me through some of the darkest days of my life, and helps me fight depression every single day.
ILLENIUM!!!!! You are the best!!!
Illenium healed me from Drug addiction during my university life and music came over this and a Rehab was making EDM Music for the depressed and addicted ones!
Keep doing your thing man you're fans got a lot of love for you and your music including me. I'm honestly happy you became so successful.
your music makes me high as hell, takes us out of depression,makes us happy. so i really don't need drugs.. Thanks for that nick. Love from india❤
This is why Nick will always be my favorite

Those are some very true and meaningful words, but you also speak words as strong as those through your music as well. I'm extremely happy that you were able to overcome that challenge and are able to continue to make some amazing songs and bring light to people's darkest days. Much love Illenium.

I f#$@ing love you, Nick! I can relate to this on every level imaginable. I’ve seen the darkest days in my early 20’s and I almost never got a second chance to turn my life around. You have a platform now and you’re choosing to use it for good to help others. You’re a hero to many. Infinite love for you.
Not only a great talent, but a great example of overcoming and will power. Thank you so much!!
I m happy that you got out of addiction,your music is realistic and there is a lot to learn from it you are a true inspiration to yourself and to your fans,love you
Every time I open Spotify or youtube Illenium will be the first playlist or his channel that I check, hoping to see some energy pill to continue the day.
I started to produce music because of Illenium, he's the best and my favorite music producer, keep doing what you do best!

You're an amazing person and we all love you. Love to all illenials too!
We love u Illenium!
Illenials Forever!
I got goosebump just by his talking alone
I have heared a lot of stories about addiction and now I can really fell how it is felling through your music. I have searched on Internet about your story to understand better. I can only say that I have a belief in God. I know not all people belive in God but for me, He helps me to get out of problems or even addictions . So, I can say: The belief in any God (depend on belief, there are different Gods) can help you make through it (like in my situation) in the easiest way possible or better than you thought. I love your music and I respect you even you have a belief or not!
Really powerful. You certainly helped me with my depression.
Illenium, my hero
Man....you're blessed..♥️.. & Happy Birthday in advance.😘
Im addicted to ur song!!!
Much love ❤️ keep creating can’t wait to see what you do next thank you for sharing 🙏
