I know this will just be a random comment on this video, but I just wanted to put it out there. This era of mike Posner saved me, as cheesy as that sounds.. I was addicted to drugs living in shelters and peoples houses who I would pay in drugs , I was listening to mike on shuffle one night , and this song came on then live before I die , and I burst into an uncontrollable panic that I was wasting my life , for the next 4 years I have hustled my way up to running a business and helping others with recovery. Last month marked my 3.5 half years sober , and I still attribute all my positive changes to these songs.

Virginia Woolf and poetry No one seemed to notice me Being young was getting so old Cheap beer and cigarettes Life was like a movie set And I seemed to be given no role But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon' understand So at age 18 I cried to my mother And she told me, "young man" "There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are now You don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as you are Life is not always a comfortable ride Everybody's got scars that they hide And everybody plays the fool sometimes, yeah Just be as you are" They played me on the radio And everything was changing, so I thought I was all the way grown But I can still remember in that cold November When I realized I'm all alone But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon' understand So at age 22 I cried to my mother And she told me, "young man" "There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are now You don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as you are It doesn't matter if you become some star Life is better when you open your heart You don't always have to act so hard, no Just be as you are (Just be as you are)" Be as you are (Whoa) Be as, be as you are (Be as you are) Be as you are (Be as you are) Be as, be as you are If I'm speaking truthfully I'm not who I used to be And I know some people might laugh 'Cause my music doesn't sound the same And my head's no longer shaved I'm worried if I'm on the right path But in times of trouble I can turn to my mother And I know that she gon' understand So at age 26 I spoke to my mother And she told me, "young man" "There are moments when you fall to the ground But you are stronger than you feel you are now You don't always have to speak so loud, no Just be as you are It doesn't matter if you become some star Life is better when you open your heart You don't always have to act so hard, no Just be as you are (Be as you are)" Be as you are (Be as you are) Be as, be as you are (Be as you are) Be as you are (Be as you are) Be as, be as you are Be as you are

I lost my Mom when I was 11. I always wonder how different me and my life would be if I would of had her throughout my lifetime. It makes a difference when you truly have love and support in your life. I will never knkw what that is like but I hope those who have that kind of connection, appreciate and cherish it.

I love my Mother and always will. It's funny how since I have a late birthday, with the victory lap, I graduated at 18 and eventually dropped out of college ang got hooked on drugs, making 22 the lowest point in my life. And as I am currently 26 and finally and long overdue; Making a plan for myself.

Found this at 1:17am Saturday morning at 40 years old and couldnt need to hear this more than i do right now. My kids are going to hear this song played regularly for the rest of their lives.

🌟 Staying happy is a must 🌟 Praying is a must 🌟 Ignoring negativity is a must 🌟 Staying focused is a must 🌟 Remaining Humble & grateful is a must......

'Life is like a movie set, and I seem to have been given no role' Heavy.

Why this song do not ve billion views? I cant understand KZread's algorithm It deserves more views.

It's been five years, and this song is still fantastic. It touches the darkness that surrounds my bleeding heart.

This song and “I took a pill in Ibiza “ made me cry like a hormonal pregnant woman for nearly three hours, the first day I discovered those 2 songs. I listened to them over and over and over... Until my husband came home from work and I put on a happy face again. Lol. Those 2 songs and his song “Move On” are my top 3 favorite of his so far, and probably will be top 3 all time favorites of his. He’s sooooo amazing it’s crazy.

"you don't have to act so hard. Just be as you are" I need to listen to this everyday. So much pain caused by this, thinking that I need to do it in order just to survive. All you do is survive and not live.

Open your heart and be as you are and when I’m thinking back the past of years I’ve been through damn I’m going through at all with so much pain and so much loves without people around me right now I’m turning 40’s in December god bless y’all and enjoy the rest of your day cheers 🥂

Its because the audience do really want funky background music , they didn't even try to read the lyrics , Lyrics are what that gives a song a meaning but today's generation is all cares about being badass , sadly I am from this generation tooo , but I don't like funky music , that's why I love Artists such as Mike Posner , Coldplay , Julia Michaels , twenty One Pilots , etc

I deal with a lot of anxiety and always in my head overthinking everything. This song reminds me to just be me at the end of the day I am who I am.

Enjoyed every bit of it. This song needs more recognition....😍😍😍

chills

This song is so original. Pure. Beautiful. Nastalgic. Sad. Happy. Like... It made my soul connect to the music and I *couldn't stop myself from dancing it out* Mike. I bet you hardly never got a comment like that under any of your party songs. Just see it as a sign because I know I'm not the only one. THIS is so much greater than getting all those views, so... yes, you are on the right path (just, a less glorified one- a more beautiful and true one).

Who needs a motivational video or something else, when you got this Music. 😆
