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

Porter Robinson - Look at the Sky (Official Music Video) my new album “nurture“ is out now: 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. subscribe to the porter robinson youtube channel: stream “nurture” spotify: apple music: youtube: amazon: soundcloud: deezer: watch ’Musician’ music video: watch ‘Mirror’ music video: watch ‘Something Comforting’ music video: watch ‘Get your Wish’ music video: follow porter robinson website: ​ facebook: twitter: instagram: tiktok: youtube: spotify: Directed by Chris Muir Creative Direction: Porter Robinson & Samuel Burgess-Johnson Producer: Esteban Zuluaga Exec.

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 #porterrobinson #lookatthesky #nurture
