He was a actor before, thats why he feels and understand art and others, could be just my opinion, but yeah

So as someone who has actually really come to like Post Malone, I’m very happy Michael really gave this song a chance and really tried to understand it. I feel like in this album he is genuinely exploring the destruction of addiction and the possible salvation that God could offer him. “Threw my bottle at the sky said ‘God that’s a warning.’” This is written to sound pathetic on purpose. It’s kind of sad, but he is gaining such a self awareness. I hope it continues on to great things There’s another song on the album called “Socialite,” dealing with similar issues of addiction and feeling empty in this world of physical satisfaction, and he has this line that says “Fuck me up, it’s only a body. If God exists, it shouldn’t be a problem,” which is, again, a heartbreaking line but it shows how he really is using his music to explore a metaphysical reality to this very secular and physical reality.

I didnt used to be a fan of him during that time. Then I started to listen to some of his songs from Hollywood’s Bleeding and felt something was growing there and it’s only gotten more mature since then. This latest album is definitely exploring the culture he found himself in when he made it big, it’s destructiveness, and how there might be something bigger out there (he references God and the Bible several times throughout, usually in contrast to the negative portrayal of drugs alcohol and addiction in his lyrics) that he’s trying to figure out for himself. Which seems like it could be a very difficult thing to do when, again, the culture he has been immersed in is an active antagonist to this

*Describing how he feels when he takes pills in a song that wasn't made for kids

The only popular (modern) music I've encountered paints 2 contrasting ideas: 1. Party, greed, selfishness, indulgence, (or) 2. Sadness. 🤔 How interesting.

I luv the song MOURNING. IM NOT A YOUNG, LOST PERSON-IM 72 YRS OLD- but I am a retired public school teacher. I have a heart for our young people- music is so important for all of us- but sometimes thats the only way they can FEEL about their life. During the lockdown I had time to listen to young peoples music- I noticed that the sound of the music had a YEARNING, SEARCHING, & CONFUSION FEELING. I START LISTENING MORE. ITS JUST REACHING OUT FOR THE TRUTH. Mourning is very much like the other music Ive listened to. Its saying HELP ME!. With all the Evil that has been going on, it is even more true! As adult's who know the TRUTH, this is a perfect time to reach out to young people. We dont know how to do this cer well- we can be rejected & laughed at . As Catholics, Micheal, we have to pray to God on how we can do this- on our own personal way. 😂

love how the beat keeps playing even as he talks about the song. Made the video flow super smoothly.

Just saw him 3 weeks ago in East Troy WI…absolutely amazing experience. He thanked us after every song and brought a guy onstage who wanted to play guitar for him, and was so kind to him.

Post is extremely talented. One of the only celebrities I would ever care to meet. I hope he’s okay and he keeps building his soul.

Posty often reminds me of Mac Miller. I just feel his pains through his music, and I can 100% resonate with them. I just hope that Austin will make himself a longer, healthier life. Take care of yourselves, people!

I feel sad for Post Malone, because I've known that feeling of emptiness and hopelessness and the only answer and cure for that was Jesus. I hope and pray that Post finds Him so he can know what this life is really all about.

Michael! You should do a reaction to “By Your Grace” by Cody Johnson! I’m a struggling Christian, who loves country music. I’d love to know what this song means to you as a practicing Catholic. I love your show, and it’s a huge part of why I consider Catholicism and not just Christianity. Thanks, and God bless to the Knowles family.

Did this guy really say “SOMEONE named post Malone” like I get his older than me but I’m surprised to see someone has literally NEVER even heard of post Malone before 😂

I’m a great grandma and I love Posty. He now has a daughter and is fairly conservative for someone in his position.

Austin is the sweetest most humble human in the industry - probably the planet 🥹 love him and only want good things for him. His writing is beautiful and artistic. People think he’s a druggie or on the verge of not being here and that’s Bull and people need to stop saying that. His music is his therapy and he’s working on overcoming these things. With that being said, I enjoyed your thoughtful review of this. He has a lot more awesome songs too.

I wish you do more reaction videos on Post Malone.

This song and Knowles’ analysis perfectly describes struggling with alcoholism. I’m so glad I finally shrank that ice cube to absolutely nothing and didn’t put it back in my glass and start all over again. Becoming sober is truly great. This is probably my favorite album in a long time and I hope Posty conquers his demons and makes many many more.

I love this song…Post is one of my favorite artists. Michael did a super job unpacking this song. Great video!

I love the Sunshine insert. Excellent film.

I really like Post Malone as a person. His music isn’t my taste. He’s VERY kind. I’ve never heard him do an interview without referring to someone as “sir”, “ma’am”. He says “please”, “thank you” etc. which is wild I’m even saying this because it’s called “manners”, my point is: He’s raw, but gentle as fuck 🫶🏼

Can’t help but compare him having to move the ice cube to Sisyphus moving his rock uphill. At the end, he puts the ice cube in the glass, similar to the rock sliding back down the hill.

thanks for not ruining a song I like Michael. Good vid!

I love Michael and I love Posty, so this is awesome 💜

It would be awesome to put all my mourning/grief into a giant ice cube, take a blow torch to it & melt it all away.

I don't listen to Post Malone much other than things like this, but seeing him in videos and interviews and even on GMM, he seems like he's a big ole sweetie. I hope he finds his way to victory in whatever battles he faces

I love Post Malone idc what anyone says Stoney was a masterpiece and he is honestly just a good guy he booked a show in my small town right before he blew up and it was just awesome that he didn’t cancel it for a bigger venue.

I love Posty, just saw him in concert on Sunday and he puts on such a great show, as well as spreading love and positivity at his show

I love that you bring a different perspective on this- because I would have just taken it as it’s all about drugs/alcohol and withdrawal and trying to kick dependency. It’s a little ray of hope that not everyone does or has done this stuff (at least not to a self altering point) so their minds don’t automatically go there.

Love his music, love this song and I loved this genuine review from someone who’s not familiar with PM’s work.

Autotune is evil.

"God thats a warning" he's both trying to challenge god and warn god, but also he knows this feeling he gets is a warning from god. Its a reference to a warning both to and from god. God always wins

I am a fan of post malone, I see him as a genuine guy struggling with everyday problems

Post Malone and Justin Bieber are my favorite guys vocally speaking. They have some songs that have teleported me to some part of my soul I didn’t know needed attention. I pray for this man…especially that he stays true to himself!

Post is a genuine person

The irony of how he is trying to push the giant ice cube aside in the middle of a sunny day when the sun could melt it, might be an analogy for how God's grace, the Son of God, could help him overcome his struggles. He eventually goes for it with a flame thrower (works) and it is great that he is being proactive in trying to overcome his problem. But you can see that in that situation it is dark. The sun is gone. And he is still pushing this tiny ice cube with all his might... Because when you try to do it by yourself and without surrender to God, the weight of your sin is still heavy, and the cycle begins again...
