[TheLuisoner]

We loved Eyedea very much

but God just loved him more

[ThatOneWackyKid]

@MistaB00m is a bitchmaid

[TomCatSwag]

Eyedea reminds me of Cage and Slug... combined...Lyrically and physically...

[SirTsar]

peep my songs, trying to keep the style alive!

[leshark]

EYEDEA IS DOPE! R.I.P

[Kremlin289]

what a shame.. Eyedea was such a great inspiring artist, so many people appreciate him, including myself, but yet we still have assholes in this world that would disrespect his video and his fans... shame @MistaB00m

[RippedOutOfMyMind]

Why do the top comments have nothing to do with the song?

Love this song, you will never be forgotten......

[TredHate]

I'll Still Smile.

[thecraziestofalldave]

dude understood he was on his way out...

[EvilFluffyBunny13]

<3 :D LOVE this song

[newtnewtnewtnewt]

just smile buddy (:

[newtnewtnewtnewt]

crazy how mistab00m can come to a video like this and make so many enemies...

[rianlemon]

did a tribute video for him there on my channel, the mans a god

[dtr019]

its very disheartening cuz when you listen to other E&A albums and then listen to BY THE THROAT it feels like eyedea knew this was his last, one can feel that he's is singing his few last songs ,man i a lonely guy from nowhere but you touch me man at last i would eyedea himself from his song BIG SHOT, "i,m the best thing happened to HP HOP..."

[PepperNinja0069]

"And I'm no different I live in conflict and contradiction but it can be so beautiful

when I don't reject what lies within

It's beautiful the way agony connects us to the living

I think of the world when I hurt, and keep on existing in the now"

[MadSteveo957]

In the decades since MLK's assassination, our primary weapon in the fight against hate has been pride. MLK's most powerful message to the young people of his and subsequent generations was to fight hate with love

If someone is devaluing you, the answer is not to fight to increase your value, but to destroy the conceptual framework that affords them the fallacy of superiority. We are all one. Not one people, one organism. Inseparable except in our imaginations - No Bird Sing.. Eyedea's message

[PepperNinja0069]

@MadSteveo957 well said 

[MadSteveo957]

@Skopevo swallow your pride, were all brothers and the purpose of this song is embracing new days when life aint easy.. stop judging

[daynasaur11]

Why are people so immature on here ;P There really is no need for the comments. Relax people, it's just Youtube. And a great song :)

[DaBananaHammock]

This song is a lyrical masterpiece. R.I.P. Eyedea.

[TheRickay]

if you ignore them they get madder.

so just ignore all the negative comments you guys, let them hate

just chill out ppl :)

RIP Eyedea....:)

[deadpeasantmoon]

Mikey wouldn't want all this hatred we have for each other. Chill out.

[SicksInYourAss13]

Still till this day I see people commenting on this. "I love eyedea" "Eyedea is the best" "R.EYE.P" and they only heard this song. Wow, go kill yourself. you need to listen to all his and abilities beautiful work.

[deadpeasantmoon]

@SicksInYourAss13 Really? You suggest people kill themselves if they like a song?

[KillingBySyllables]

@SicksInYourAss13

Ive listened to all of Eyedea and Abilities work and love it but if someone supports Eyedea why would u tell them to go kill themselves? I give anyone permission to say RIP to eyedea

[keattross]

@SicksInYourAss13 You clearly aren't a true E&A fan.

[MrConnorjay]

@SicksInYourAss13 lol your such a dick, let people enjoy what they want, im a huge EA fan and this is the song that got me into em'. Subjectivity man, chill out

[LegitLew]

errr i dont think you guys understand what @SicksInYourAss13 is saying.. hes saying that people have only heard one song, and pretend to be a complete fan.. although i dont agree with the negitivity, i think he sorta has a point, listen to an artist's work as a whole before you judge? dont leave loving comments cause its the coolthing to do, do it because your sincere.. because an i love you without sincerity doesn't mean anything..

[naruthenarcicist]

Beautiful music by two amazing artists. Rest in peace, Eyedea.

[kkknnn2787]

so good

[SingeSabre]

love you always, eyedea

[TheBassAndMovement]

@DarrionSaucedo That was fucked up. It made you sound like a total asshole.

[DrShakesBALLIN]

What would Mikey do?

[voiD860]

Hey guys, first of all good taste in music(: Anyways, i hate to do this,but id like some views on my music, eyedea, sage, etc are some of my inspirations. Please check it out, itd be greatly appreciated. If not, please ignore and disregard this message and carry on, don't bash me for trying to spread art lol :p. Thnks in advance! :) soundcloud dottt comm/jonlindinger

[hazyboy28]

music can't but the people that write it can if they see shit happen they write about it, the people hear it, and it helps a lot. like i said before, piss off you ignorant piece of shit, your worthless to this world, if you hate music so much why the FUCK do you have a fucking youtube account? why are you on music channels you dumb ignorant ass. fuck off leave every body in the music world ALONE. no fucking person wants to hear your sorry ass complain about how you hate music.

[MadmanMoon]

So much love for Michael.

[noentrie]

I'm lonely but we're all lonely so I'm not alone

[caca29925]

We miss u mike :(

[YoungEpic209]

RIP EYEDEA. check out my single "RIP" REST IN BEATS. A TRIBUTE TO THE FALLEN! INCLUDING YOU EYEDEA! Much love and respect. Ya boy - EPIC it is...

[LegitLew]

I think @Mistab00m doesn't know howta just smile..

[LegitLew]

eww.. people like you shouldnt be allowed to live. depression is a sign of a high iq; do the resarch you little bitch. if everyone who got depressed was dead, dumb muthafuckers like you would only be alive. so jack off to 14year olds dance to lady gaga you fuckin prick.

[NickGimacutU]

@LegitLew Its true dumb people never kill them selves they kill each other!

[LegitLew]

guys, fuck it. check out his page thingy. the guy listens to Drake. why should his opinion even matter to us? lets get this hatred off of Eyedea and Abilitie's videos.. treat em like quantum physics; if you ignore him, he dont exist. respect man. thats all its about. we miss you Micheal.. your MY savor. no matter what ANY ignorant muthfucker says.. <3

[UndividedDivision]

@MistaB00m Really, obviously you've never gone through drug withdraws or you'd be singing a different tune. It's not that the song literally "saved" someone from drugs or suicide, the song offers a strength to go on, a strength that can only be given by someone who has gone through the same or similar thing. I don't understand why you'd be so hostile toward these people... you're pathetic. I guess you must not have been breast fed. Tisk tisk.

[MistaB00m]

ok eyedea made a good song, has a good tune,

TO ALL THE FAGGOTS THAT SAID EYEDEA SAVED ME:

it's just a fucking song, don't say he saved you from killing yourself or thinking about killing yourselves or doing drugs and shit, you're just shitty enough to think/do that kind of stuff, no one can save you with just a fucking song you poser faggots. A song is a song fucking rofl, only you can save yourselves, stupid STUPID poser faggots.

[Snwbrdn3hirty2wo]

@MistaB00m dude, you are a prick. Who are you to bring down other people and what they believe?

[MistaB00m]

@Snwbrdn3hirty2wo hey shut the fuck up, why would they believe in something SO FUCKING STUPID? how would 1 song save someone from killing themselves/doing drugs? lol its so fucking stupid

[wafcake]

@MistaB00m either you're a troll or you're just a fucked up kid that probably has a terrible life so you make other people feel worse about theirs.

[DecHelmore]

@MistaB00m lol you naive mother fucker

[MistaB00m]

@DecHelmore who the fuck are you calling naive, you dumbass, you suicidal cock sucking faggot, all mom saying is that posers like the ones that say he saved them, are full of shit

[jplecas]

@MistaB00m I think you dont understand what this song is about. Michael was saying that all of us have something very important in common. We all know how it feels to hurt, and how it feels to be ALONE. But he is reminding us that EVERYONE feels this way at one point. We really arent alone at all. Because everyone hurts, in exactly the way we do.

Maybe you havent been through severe depression. But the next time you hurt, remember were all hurting with you. And it takes some away.

[MistaB00m]

@jplecas lol i love how you said micheal, you talk like your homies and know each other, motherfucker if your depressed, go kill yourself, if anyone does get depressed then they should be dead.

[iconicsaint]

@MistaB00m shut up

[hazyboy28]

@MistaB00m You sir.. are a prick who thinks they are better than everyone, but thats okay(: cause you must be somewhat retarded if you can't understand that music can be some ones escape like music is my escape. One day you'll be hurt maybe even depressed, maybe you already are and are just trying to make yourself feel better. whatever the matter... you can kill yourself you hating piece of shit, go burn. (: smile doh bro. homie, whatever else pisses you off

[MistaB00m]

@hazyboy28 you're a complete dumbass, music isn't even that good, you depressed homosexual emotional whore

[hazyboy28]

@MistaB00m you're a fucking retarded man. if music wasnt good there wouldn't be this many artists today. and you're pretty straight up stupid if you think im gay or a whore. Go fuck yourself sideways prick get the FUCK off this video. NO ONE wants you here, so you might as well just shove the shit you talk back down your throat. dick.

[MistaB00m]

@hazyboy28 you're fucking stupid, music can't do shit to save anybody, the only one with the dick down their sorry ass throat is you

[labrat420]

@MistaB00m you have lil wayne videos on your account. stop talking

[MistaB00m]

@labrat420 what the hell does that got to do with anything

[Zeuskiee]

@labrat420 Aahahaha fck yea man :)

[TBaggingSince1990]

@labrat420 Whats even worse is those Nikki Minaj videos he's liking.. Sure she's hot but your going to honestly listen to Nikki Minaj and like it? LOL

[MistaB00m]

@labrat420 The fuck does that have to do with anything? nothings wrong with him

[channyboi1191]

@MistaB00m what the fuck is wrong with you?

[MistaB00m]

@channyboi1191 these poser ass faggots, thats what

[channyboi1191]

@MistaB00m your a pretty fucked up individual

[MrBiace]

@MistaB00m WooooooW You sir is the most stupid piece of society that I've ever heard of. Congrats.

[MistaB00m]

@MrBiace most stubpid piece of society? lol what the fuck does that mean you stupid cumguzzling faggot

[MrBiace]

@MistaB00m Idk I just didnt wanna to use the word "shit" its overused, btw go back to your phonie artists and listen to Nicki Minaj while masturbating...

[MistaB00m]

@MrBiace lol? overused, you're such a faggot, omg, phone artists? hah the only phone here is this guy, his only song got 1.2mill hits, while everyone else is hitting 50m+ so idk who you think you are calling other people phonies

[MrBiace]

@MistaB00m "you ain't shit man, your story's a joke, you should package it with a last smoke and 6 feet of rope"

And I think that Aesop Rock would agree with me.

[MistaB00m]

@MrBiace what the fuck is your bitchass talking about?

[xtsoraroxastx]

everyone should be required to listen to this song

[Bozeman35]

I still :)

R.Eye.P.

Gone but never forgotten.

[bryancranstoncrand]

is he white?

[92BadBird]

@bryancranstoncrand yup

[vr4runner]

nice track.

[MyBeniscool]

how did eyedea die??

[Taellosify]

@MyBeniscool He was using sleeping medication, and it made him throw up in his sleep, and he choked because of it. = /

[BenJaming6969]

this guy is actually so good its crazy

[kylwntr]

Listen to this song every day for motivation. Rest in peace Eyedea, here's hoping I don't meet the same fate.

[TheRickay]

This song makes me forget my pain, ive had bad luck with being myself and being a gentlemen, by being myself i just find problems, and by being a gentlemen(the way i was raised) im always getting dissed, been single for 6 years, never had a high school sweetheart, wish i could feel that spark, but ima still Smile i'll still be a gentlemen when theres pricks around and i'll still be myself eventhough im always misjudged if i die tonite i die being who i am eventhough loneliness stood by my side

[vr4runner]

@TheRickay stay true to who you are, fuck all the haters. What goes around comes around, you'll get yours one day bro...

[xXgodpersonXx]

@TheRickay Im right there with ya bro

[theweberjosh]

@TheRickay smile :)

[sumblackkid92]

@TheRickay sounds like my life. amen bro. amen.

[DarrienSaucedo]

@TheRickay Quit crying pussy and enjoy the music :D

[Skopevo]

@TheRickay Take your emo shit back to your livejournal, faggot. Im trying to enjoy this song, and I see your gay horse shit in the comments below.

[Ktingles6]

@Skopevo emo? are you even listening to the music? this song is all about sadness and pushing through it and you going to call some kid an emo fag cause he expressed what this song meant to him? fuck off you judgemental cunt

[bubbadaninja]

@TheRickay we all just smile...keep on keeping on rick

[sh0ckerturb0]

listened to eyedea during some of the darkest parts of my life, i wish he was still with us

[Jayare1194]

I love this song. I hear it everyday.

[Bootel1794]

This is probably the most meaningful, uplifting song i've heard in my lifetime.

[Nonchalant1994]

The message of this song really did help me open my eyes and accept life.

[manson0303]

@Nonchalant1994  I am glad Noah.

[Nonchalant1994]

@manson0303 Manson, you stalk the shit out of me.

[TheDeathlyhallows123]

@RippedOutOfMyMind I'm not arguing with that I agree. We can't justify that's how he died though.

[JOExG219]

Self proclaimed rebels say "We must oppose the system!"

"You gotta take a stand!" "If you're not against them you're with them!"

signs read "Support the troops bring em' home!" "No more innocent victims!"

but when a homeless veteran asks for spare change you're to busy protesting to even listen

[TheDeathlyhallows123]

@jesterman1231 overdose on some kind of opiate. It was never released to the public the specifics. Some say he was addicted to heroin and his mom in an interview before the results were back said she thought it was a mix of alcohol and sleeping pills because he was having trouble sleeping the week he died. But it was never released so we will never know what's true.

[RippedOutOfMyMind]

@TheDeathlyhallows123 You can definitely see heroin symbolism in this song. I.E black running through the veins

[DrShakesBALLIN]

So if none of this makes sense, I just want you to know I'm here, as a musician, as a friend, as a teacher, as a student, to grow and realize that everything's in constant movement.

[cmpunkmartin]

I can't live without this song, because when i'm depressed, this song help.

Its hard but I know I can still smile :)

[jesterman1231]

How did he die this is new info to me....I heard a song and searched him on youtube and I found out he's dead? What the fuck? RIP Eyedea

[facemouth83]

Live Through Me

[aleXprideauX9]

This video foreshadows his death so much it's fucked up

[DonJohnnyFernando]

hey guys, listen, english is not my native language and therefore I couldn't really understand the content of this song. can anybody please try to explain it to me?! thx

[hufnpufnblow]

@DonJohnnyFernando its smiling even though life sucks

[wrongturn320]

@DonJohnnyFernando yeah staying positive and being cool and happy .even though life is not fair and often difficult .. peace 

[DonJohnnyFernando]

@wrongturn320 cool, thanks a lot :)

[alfawiskee129er]

I hate that the blood mixing and the dope cookin looks so familiar. It scares the shit out of me. Clean today, fucked tomorrow. RIP EYEDEA

[justkevin09]

i hate dope it kills my friends it ruins my relationship and kills my heros

[dahliamurder34]

everyday i wanna do heroin but i never will i know exactly where you're coming from no more said R.I.P.

[tony2006h]

I'm in my 30's and this guy is still teaching me lessons even though he has passed. Who needs to believe in god when we have saviours on this planet. R.I.P Eyedea

[lilmit16]

@tony2006h Cause God saves your life after you die

[TheDeathlyhallows123]

@BeatlesSydBarrett9 I get the same way with my mood. Then I ask questions that sound completely random to other people because I already moved on in a conversation to something else and ask about it where people can't follow my logic and I sound crazy to them until I explain it. Idk how to shut my mind off. That's why I can't sleep unless I take pills, which I HATE taking.

[SimplyxInstinct]

@BeatlesSydBarrett9 i am the same way glad i'm not alone

[TheDeathlyhallows123]

Week he died. And I can understand because after a week or even a few days without sleeping anything you start to loose your mind and you try to do anything you can to get yourself to just sleep.

[TheDeathlyhallows123]

Oh and by the way, eyedea always tried to make his lyrics open enough for different meanings so the way you interpret it might not have been how he felt when he was writing it.

I feel I can relate to eyedea though. I have insomnia and that's partially because I think too much. I loose my mind half the time and think and write about all the philosophical shit and try to figure out life. I want to know if he died off od of sleeping pills because it is said he was having difficulties sleeping the

[BeatlesSydBarrett9]

@TheDeathlyhallows123 I think too much too, I spend every waking moment thinking, as weird as this sounds, I want to get to know how it feels, I want to know how You feel being a person who thinks a lot day to day. I know I think a lot more than my best friends, I can have 10 thoughts happen within millaseconds, but that happens every moment I am awake, and maybe that's why I can have sudden changes in my mood, because I think of all kinds of random things

[TheDeathlyhallows123]

It was never released to the public what he died on so if you think it's heroin say you think it is, don't justify it as a fact when we can't be certain. I do think it should have been released to the public too though. Based on his music you can tell he has problems like everyone but an understanding of life that most people don't have.

[TheRealRhymestein]

so glad this shit has hit a million+ vieews. everybody should see this shit at least once. R.EYE.P.

[annewuwu]

RIP eyedea - Rhyme In Peace

[jakejawsmusic]

I get this tense feeling in my legs and arms, and my pulse is hightened when I listen to Eyedea's music...

[WFraserCoombe]

he's not dead, he lives on through his music :)

[NeedU2Subscribe]

this song is way too deep my mind is fucked

[TheTruthPedro]

I can't believe his mom would go to such lengths to hide his heroin addiction. He put it in his damn videos and music! He was struggling with it and crying for help, and no one could save it. Too bad his mom won't let his life be a lesson to his fans and those around him. Watch the video again closely, and listen to his later music and hear all of the heroin references.

[LegendarySpartan117]

@TheTruthPedro Can you show me proof of this?

[dcshoes222]

@TheTruthPedro In a live video from a show in 2009 it was clear he had a band aid on his arm right over his vein.

[LegendarySpartan117]

@dcshoes222 I had a band-aid over my vein a month ago on my right arm, i don't do heroin

[dcshoes222]

@LegendarySpartan117 Did you write 2 or 3 songs about heroin too?

[LegendarySpartan117]

@dcshoes222 no, who's the "too"? if you don't mind me asking, also there songs please? so how do u know he did heroin?

[dcshoes222]

@LegendarySpartan117 I dont know, i'm just thinking what everybody else is probably thinking too. Burn Fetish and Sky Diver both have really obvious heroin references. Don't get me wrong though, I fucking love Eyedea. Just read TheTruthPedro's comment.

[Jesterian]

79 people are empty shells of humanity ^_^

[wolfnight36942]

How'd he die ?

[90Randy90]

@wolfnight36942 Overdosed on H.

[LegendarySpartan117]

@90Randy90 can you prove this to me?

[LegendarySpartan117]

@wolfnight36942 search "underground poet of st paul" on google and click the first link to draw your on conclusions from cause people have there own opinions about it

[Psajo12]

Eyedea saved me.

More than once.

[airbob105]

@Psajo12 Cant even say how much I agree. I still tear up from time to time.  This motherfucker was my first concert. They opened for atmosphere. The best experience of my life. I will take it to the grave as one those back in the day stories you just cant pay for.

[meyezner]

genius.thanks man.r.EYE.p.

[cantera1]

RIP you and your music will always be

[hectorolea87]

THE EYEDEA STILL GROWS BIGGER THAN A THOUGHT BIGGER THAN A DREAM

[ezko12]

Love this song !

[dune310la]

R. . .EYE. . P....The lightbulb still shines!

[wushish]

Man i really wish i could have sat down and talked with Eyedea just once.

[Andya702]

this song is my life, when ever i get picked on i'll still smile and keep on going

[Supernova1113]

More than one million views well deserved

[SAVAGEDAWG23]

I really appreciate my mom for buying me my 1st computer 2 years ago. I was becoming a victim of that mainstream music because i only listened to the radio for music. Glad thing there's people like Eyedea that make music with meaning. Now I just listen to Eyedea and to other underground rappers.Thanks Eyedea for changing my life. :'D

[mskeishapac]

You sound like Asher Roth

[gameova85]

@mskeishapac You mean Asher Roth is trying to sound like Eyedea... R.I.P Eyedea

[cmpunkmartin]

:)

[krassyfool]

Hero :D

[Dj3xist]

R.I.P eyedea... You'll always be loved man.

[Creap0fluigi]

It's too bad how death gave Eyedea the amount of appreciation he deserved, or at least closer to that amount. But I'm glad that the word's spreading anyhow.

R.I.P. Eyedea. I mourned the day that your death was known, and I'll be mourning 'till my own. I love you.

Rhymesayers!

[BlackSN8K]

My favorite song.

[lefty7747]

[graffitiislife1994]

this song has helped me out of some bad days, by making me realize some people have it so much worse, rhyme in peace Eyedea, a true visionary

[ELSR1ER]

Honestly, how can a human dislike this?

[spardaturtle]

RIP Mike

[stonedgeorge]

my hero. you saved me from myself. thanks

[deadkennedys909]

When you've never been moved it's really hard to move on.

That line helped me out of a hard time 2 years ago
