Eyedea and Abilities - Hay Fever

[masterfulmastermind1]

feelin this album

[LegitLew]

@thegonthebass nah man. ain't nothin but love. I agree with you. no offence taken. just glad to see lnot all fans aren't dicks like most vpeople. made my day.. hell.. it made my week

[LegitLew]

my mom says this song is scary and angry -___-

i told her that she's scary and angry..

[thegonthebass]

@LegitLew I think your mom needs to understand that Eyedea was one of the only artists in the history of music who put his entire soul into his music uncensored. That's why some of his songs could be described as "scary" or "angry" That's what he was feeling and he didn't hide anything to make sure people's moms approved of it.

[LegitLew]

@thegonthebass i never said i agreed with her. thats my mom's perspective and im not about to tell my mom her taste in music is "wrong". i completly dig what you're saying bro but i also respect my mother enough to leave her alone when i disagree with what she sayus. Eyedea is my god.

[thegonthebass]

@LegitLew That's my bad. I didn't mean any form of disrespect. I was only trying to give my take on the song. If you took offense to anything I said I sincerely apologize. I would never deliberately insult someone's mother, especially if I have never even met her.

[TheFuckOffMe]

i bet everey lame ass mainstream rapper is jealeous of the album

[pagodasRealm]

oh, that familiar expectation in which spin cycle is about to start playing. damn you's!!!

[LyricsBC]

@LegitLew how do you know

[risingpauler]

@ilikeeverything oh shit ur right. thought it was another bullshit rumor but regardless an overdose does not make u an addict. ive takin opiates before, i could have died. tht doesnt mean im physically or emotionally dependant to drugs.

[risingpauler]

@ilikeeverything69 his cause of death was unrevealed and just because you accidentally overdose tht doesnt make you an addict

[downtownclownybrown]

@risingpauler yeah he spoke on his addiction briefly here and there in a couple interviews in his later years...

[risingpauler]

i really dont think he was an addict. he doesnt seem like a dude obsessed wit weed or alcohol. opiates i mean like i said idk. but i know addicts and he just doesnt look like it. but as eyedea once said - dont judge a book by its cover

[ilikeeverything69]

@risingpauler he died of an opiate overdose. thinking he was probably an addict.

[pagodasRealm]

i believe his mom said this song was based on their dog that just so happened to die in october. yet, you can really make it whatever you want it to be. i say his mission was a success.

[jwright0624]

@lolman495 he was an addict, he was addicted to the feeling his music gave him. You can hear it when he feels it, and if you're lucky you can feel it when you hear it, too.

[yr06jcrawley]

First song I listened to in 2012-Tasty Choice

[Supernova1113]

theres no hell more harsh than a memory, theres no home more hell than an empty nest

[thescriven]

i really wish eyedea would have lived to make that cd with dose one.  that would have been an amazing project... RIP

[psychoactivemental]

they will be sorry once i skin them

[psychoactivemental]

CHRISTMASS vs XMASS what side u on x factors?

[OfficialMedaBoys]

you should never have to watch an add before hearing this song.

it cheapens it.

[jonboywhite13]

Take the fucking ads down. You shouldnt be making money off of this.

[fable2fan1]

@jonboywhite13 Bro, thats youtube.

Not him, youtube has decided to put ads on any video containing songs.

[seanguy47]

Can someone tell me what he means when he says "They'll be sorry once i skin them" im just really curious

[downtownclownybrown]

call me when the miracle reduces to coincidence...

[SpiderCider69]

october 5ths my birthday :O

[MrMiestro69]

he died because he was way to dope

[Astonish70]

Years ahead of his time..............

[Tankadin08]

Eyedea you took your last breath and you will be missed

[xjoshlove34]

This song is about his grandmother who died. not his dog or himself. how would he know when he was going to die He o.d.ed.

[keattross]

@xjoshlove34 His mom said this song was about his dog...

[id300129]

One year ago. Fall took Eyedea away and this season will never be the same to me again.

[Ston3d42O]

Winter takes the warm away.

Spring takes the cold away.

Summer takes the rain away.

and fall took away my favorite artist.

[dirtyknees201]

everyone say's this song is about his dog dying mainly from the lyric "I'll hold your head when the doctor sticks the needle in" and yes eyedea died from an opiate overdose , opiates are found in hard drugs such as heroin, morphine so i doubt it was a prescribed drug especially if they with held the release of what killed him, now isn't it possible its about his friends dying from a heroin due to "needle" "I can't tell if this is for me or you." . just a thought for something with no basis

[Ston3d42O]

@dirtyknees201 pull the plug or not cant tell if this is for me or you. i mean i know your sick, tired, and confused. but sometimes letting the tired go to sleep is the best thing to do." then the doctor sticks the needle in. A common way to put old/sick dogs to sleep. And his mom mentions about their dog passing away several times on her website and how mike loved the dog

[lolman495]

@dirtyknees201 not trying to be harsh so dont take this the wrong way. Michaels songs have no specific meaning. they can be put in everyones life. weather a dog, cat, or friend. i believe he intended it that way. this song to me is about a girl that i loved. and by the throat to me means kinda the same but in my journey to get over her. and he died because he took his anxiety medication and fell asleep on his face. he didnt mean to.and opiates are found in multiple drugs. such as oxy cotton.

[xjoshlove34]

@lolman495 yo kid there are not opiates in any anit anixiety medication. its all benzodiazpine. opiates are only found in painkillers/ relivers (Hydrocodone, morphine, oxyconton, heroine, opium, etc) He died of an opiate overdose lol not by falling asleep on his face after eating some xanax

[lolman495]

@xjoshlove34 yo "kid" first off, i was saying that opiates are found in drugs like the ones i listed. i didnt say opiates are in anxiety meds. and he actually did fall asleep on his face while he was drunk and on his medication. his mother had reported it.

[xjoshlove34]

@lolman495 well he died of opiate toxiciity. So you tell me how does one get an opiate overdose and die from it by taking anti anxiety meds that contain no opiates?

[lolman495]

@xjoshlove34 ...well i was saying which drugs were opiates...and his mother has already reported what has happened. so i would much rather listen to her than someone i do not know. anyways, Michael is no longer here, and i doubt he would want anyone fighting over it,

[galvin227]

@lolman495 I have a hard time believing he wasn't an addict of some kind. Just listening to his lyrics and seeing pictures and videos of him as aged. So regardless of how he died, to me it seems clear that drugs were unfortunately a part of his life. Just a thought.

[lolman495]

@Astonish70 i was disrespecting the dead. and seriously if you do do your research enough you would see. Max (Abilities) and Kathy (Michaels mother) update the "Eyedea and Abilities" Facebook page, it didnt clearly state what happened, but i found an article about his death. I also believe what was told to me by trust worthy sights or people, then strangers i dont know on the internet.

[lolman495]

@lolman495 Was not*

[AEgamesFtw]

@dirtyknees201 "pull the plug or not? I can't tell if this is good for me or you" is entirely self explanatory. it's about euthanasia and inspired by his dog.

[Jacobhshannon]

And on Sunday, October the 5th you took your last breath,

and you will be missed.

RIP You will be missed

[sixteenouncesDG]

@Jacobhshannon Why does he say October the 5th ? Google says the 17th? WTF! Just curious???

[brikfilm]

@sixteenouncesDG It's a lyric from the song.

[Ston3d42O]

@sixteenouncesDG he didnt write about the day he died... how would he know what day he died haha

[12claymore]

i would trust the song before  google

[blueearedelephant]

October the 5th

[Jono12494]

Wheye did you have to deye?  R.Eye.P.

[thescriven]

yea this cd was crazy.... eyedea did the guitar samples this album i believe. and this song gives me chills when i hear it. dont forget about eyedea

[ZaZaZoo22]

this is great i just wish someone would put up my favorite song from this album..it has a kind of industrial beat. anyone know the name? i don't i don't have it..= (

[ShitIsRad]

@ZaZaZoo22 Probably This Story

[TheSame0ne]

@ZaZaZoo22 I think you're talking about junk.

[coreyxcomatose]

this is bout his dog if u didnt know

[puhl117]

@coreyxcomatose how did you find this out?

[weirdwoogie]

Anybody know where I can get an Eyedea shirt? Fifth Element has one but only like XXL and stuff. I'm looking for a large. If anyone knows where to find one, I'd appreciate knowing. Thank you.

[brianmartel]

theres no hell more harsh than a memory

[yadamspiezer]

1 dislike? Must have been from God. He's just jealous of Eyedea's brilliance.

[twistt]

@yadamspiezer or the devil since he didn't get to keep Eyedea, god did.

[twistt]

You will be missed

<3

[iamultracoolbeans]

That's so depressing, how did I not realize this was about his dog.

[zShinyy]

@iamultracoolbeans took me a while to figure out back in the day.

[robertgmunoz]

Rest In Paradise

[phoenician76]

this song makes me cry... every time

[Monkeysonfireonpluto]

R.Eye.P. Eyedea.

[hero2342]

thanks youtube you totally read my mind... what better to follow up a heartfelt tune like this by one of the realest rappers ever than an eminem song...

[Creap0fluigi]

@butlerkeith65 lol shit, you're right.

[n4rcinsart]

It kills me that I never got a chance to tell him how amazing his music is to me.

[SocialistMovement]

@n4rcinsart

wordd gee :/

[ThyStrangeness]

Rest In Peace

[FALLTOTHEHEAVENS42O]

Eyedea...you were the strangest rapper ever but REAL as fuck

[Munge74]

Yeah its crazy how good he is with lyrics, he said in an interview that he wants his songs to have multiple meanings, you could listen to a song of his on by the throat and find 3 different meanings for it and they would go with the song perfectly. He is way ahead of his time.

[robertgmunoz]

how did he die??

[Slode420]

@robertgmunoz his mom found him face down on the couch.... drugs and shit.... sad shit forgot what article i read but it was deep shit

[nolin335]

@Slode420 duuuuuuude it wasn't drugs his doctor prescribed him the wrong pills and he overdosed beacuse his fuckin doctor

[Slode420]

@nolin335 lol duuuude it was drugs..... , what i had said was vague so people look into it. . .

[Ston3d42O]

@nolin335 regardless prescribed pills are drugs.. and considering it was an overdose it was probably some sort of K-pins, or valium type drug. i mean.. lets be real you can hear the depression in his music..

[Isosyth]

@Ston3d42O From what I've read he had chronic insomnia, not depression.

[RiseFalls]

@Isosyth from what he says in The Dive and Obsolete he had schizophrenia

[ZootsMcGoots]

@Ston3d42O It was an opiate overdose.

[Munge74]

@robertgmunoz Overdose according to wiki.

[kermit27k]

you left us in fall friend



[SelfJupiter7]

I'm pretty sure this song's about his dog that died

"I'll hold your head when the doctor sticks the needle in"

[wiparker824]

@SelfJupiter7 I think you're correct about the dog. But, I also read an interview where he was talking about this album being one that he was trying to write songs with multiple meanings, so that everyone had their own personal relation and meaning of the song, speaking in generalities but still specifics. He went on to explain how that worked on a couple tracks. I think that was the intent here, not to specifically say his dog. So, no wrong answer in what it means or any track on the album.

[SelfJupiter7]

@wiparker824 Yepp. Micheal was a genius in every sense of the word, I'm sure he knew exactly all the types of people listening to his records and how he could best speak to them.

[sunshineplurr]

rest in peace eyedea, you were too big for this world.

[TheRuneScapeDnA]

First Born changed the way I look at things, E&A changed the way i view rap, By the Throat changed my life.

[SkMaRtIsT]

loved your music since scribble jam,rip eyedea (Michael Larsen),i will always remember you son

[Baxxter101]

"But sometimes letting the tired go to sleep is the best thing to do..."

[bass109]

Jesus christ loves you 101

[CannedSausages]

"I believe there's never a place better than right where you are

although imagining an afterlife can tend to mend a broken heart"

What does he say right after heart? All I can make out is 'someone'... Little help?

[glass509]

@CannedSausages over someone that its a way of coping with loss but i dont need you out there somewhere if i have you in my thoughts.....this is eyedeas sickest song in my opinion.

[glass509]

@CannedSausages sorry, its "over someone dead"

[CannedSausages]

@glass509 Thanks!

[glass509]

in my opinion, there is music, and then there is eyedea. thats how fuckin good he was.

[Insanelyrically]

1 in every 101 people have a d*ck up their ass and can't comprehend good lyrics.

[CannedSausages]

Like number 100, just sayin'...

[PetrolDemon]

[turtlezilla7]

"call me when the miracle reduces to coincidence"-Eyedea

[caleb420K]

@420highryder the "Eyedea is dead" shirt is from another one of his band name's i think its carbon carousel? not sure though.

[420HighRyder]

i find it kinda ironic how on this song he talks about someone passing away on sunday october the 5th and he passed away on october the 16th which i know was a sat. but wasnt me found sunday moring? idk i just find it weird because i also saw interviews were he's rockin t-shirts that say "Eyedea is Dead" like a year before he passed away

[FremontMetalHead]

@420HighRyder The "Eyedea is dead" shirt was really creepy knowing what we now know, but he slapped that randomly on one of his shirts because he was well aware that his musical direction was changing (especially as far as rapping/battling were concerned) with Carbon Carousel and Face Candy, so it was mocking the people that were going to/did turn their backs on him as fans.

[rarzi11a]

I'll always remember our companionship and what it meant,

And on Sunday, October the 17th you took your last breath,

and you will be missed.

[TheQuota12]

ryme in peace.... authentic music will live forever

[PuIIHarder]

This song's got a whole different meaning now that he's gone.

[scrEYEB]

Eyedea changed my life

[facemelteruno]

I know your sick, tired, & confused.

But, sometimes letting the tired go to sleep is the best thing you can do...

-eyedea

[theonlylonelymagi]

an eyedea doesn't die

[brokensickle]

@daddyfatsaxohten no, that is not correct, go look up the lyrics, he doesnt mention weed in this song.

[daddyfatsaxohten]

@brokensickle i didnt say it was the correct lyric, did i? all i was asking is if anyone else HEARD that instead of what its meant to be bud

[travisgroeneveld]

he didnt die... legends dont die

[noahbpk]

@travisgroeneveld heros are remebered but legends never die

[daddyfatsaxohten]

am i the only one that hears "I guess the weed is almost over..." right at the end?

[MrBboyHP]

@daddyfatsaxohten I am hearing it too

[KobesDirtyParrot]

[bioLogickk]

Eyedea, probably my favorite lyricist after Aesop. Absolutely amazing.

[allSould0ubt]

arrite done

[dickdeoreo]

also, does eyedea have a fuckin heroin problem or something. WTH's up with these backround noises a.k.a. "beats"

[SoVertiginous]

@dickdeoreo Well eyedea doesn't make the beats, abilities does. I think they're pretty badass. A little too "experimental" sometimes but for the most part I think he's killin' it. But I guess I could agree that eyedea is either on "medication" or needs some. lol with all due respect of course....

[dickdeoreo]

off the bat, he says something about killing you radios, who the hell has radios now-a-days. and btw satelite radio is the shit.

[evanisredhot]
