Porter Robinson - Look at the Sky (Official Music Video)

ANNOUNCING THE "SMILE! :D WORLD TOUR" — MY FIRST EVER WORLD TOUR !! presale starts tuesday, signup: porterrobinson.com/

my new album "nurture" is out now: porterrobinson.co/nurture

sometimes when making music or art, we can think of ourselves as working alone. But that isn't ever really the case -- if I think about it, if I was raised in total isolation without exposure to culture, I would never have come up with any of the concepts of harmony, rhythm, twelve notes in a scale, the idea of chords, the idea of melody, the concept of a 'chorus' or 'verse' or 'drum' -- much less would I be able to physically build an instrument, build a computer, or write music production software. Everything we create is, in essence, a collaboration with millions of strangers. And by creating and sharing our ideas, we're afforded the gift of being able to contribute to this legacy. I think of the story of human creativity as this beautiful tapestry that each of us is given the very very brief opportunity to sew our own patch onto.

the "Look at the Sky" video is about the beauty I find in this cycle. where the meaning of the song is more directly about the value of hope and resilience in the face of despair, with the video, i wanted to extend the idea of 'being alive next year' from being literal into being a metaphor about the things we can contribute to this world that will outlast us.

Lyrics:

Verse:
Is it fate?
if it’s not easy, it must not be
At that age
I cherished the flowers beneath my feet
But then something must have changed in me,
I used to feel so light
Now I’ll try,
I just want time

Pre-Chorus:
Wait again,
I will be much better then
Holding on, I said:
“I will be much better, then”

Chorus:
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good

Verse:
Are you close?
Shouldn’t it come to you naturally?
And everyone knows:
You’re losing your gift, and it’s plain to see
But then something must have changed in me,
I don’t fear it anymore
Now I’m sure
I’m sure

Bridge:
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good

Pre-Chorus:
Wait again, I will be much better then
And suddenly, I’ve restored your faith in me

Chorus:
Look at the sky
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good

Outro:
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good
Something good

    The term "ghost producers" now makes sense to me...
  • @SouLAnimation
    I love how every single video defeats what I was expecting, in the best possible way.
  • My mom died when I was a teenager and I’ve had survivor’s guilt ever since. Sometimes it’s hard to see the good in things. Sometimes the responsibility of having to live for those who couldn’t can be crushing. This song is the opposite of that feeling. Thank you for making it.

    I listened to this song last year at the lowest point of my life, and you're right I am alive this year And i'll be alive next year ✨ (Edit 11/15/23: I completely forgot that I wrote this comment last year, but, yeah, I'm still alive this year! :D )

    “I’ll be alive next year” that single line gave me hope in times where hope is becoming more and more hard to come by
