Earl Sweatshirt - Grief (Official Video) 

I don't act hard, I'm a hard act to follow

Earl Sweatshirt is a genre of music

This song feels like a cold hug

You know the year’s been a struggle when this was your most played song on Spotify

Y'all don't have to comment "Tyler got happier earl got sadder" on every earl video goddam we get it

Earl got me through some shit.

This will forever be the darkest and grimmest song until earl released Peanut

I know y’all still bumping this to the day

Earl be going hard can imagine him and flying Lotus writing together

I've been alone in my shit, for the longest...

My physics teacher showed us this video and explained to us how we all produce a glow. He showed how molten metal creates a visible light glow and how humans create this infrared light glow in the video. He told us everything has a glow and the glow's wavelength is relative to temperature (molten metal is so hot the glow seeps into visible light)

This song really hit after 8pm

earl sweat always been more artistically talented than people even realize.

this songs sounds different when ur struglin

This beat is so oppressive. Like genuinely makes me feel uncomfortable. Some Silent Hill levels

I always find myself back to this song

earl shows us that even with money and fame happiness isn't promised with it. I think our worst enemy is our own mind.

I just want my time and my mind intact When they both gone you can't buy 'em back THAT

the coronavirus has turned all of us into 2015 Earl Sweatshirt

Man I remember when I Don't Like Shit first dropped, I was 14 and life was rough especially at home. It was this song in particular though that I was genuinely scared to listen to after hearing it once, just because it opened me up to all the hatred and hopelessness I had in my heart at the time. Now I'm all grown but i still remember how deep that shit was for me

"I just want my time and my mind intact when they both gone; you can't buy'em back."

Q-Tip "Talk to Joey, Earl, Kendrick, and Cole, gatekeepers of flow They are extensions of instinctual soul"

Bagels have nice taste

This video is so poetic, during the last 30 seconds he goes through 2 stages and goes through depression when the instrumental starts, throughout most of the song he talks about the fake people of his life, most likely venting his anger, right before the instrumental he states “I just want my time and my mind intact, when they both gone, you can’t buy em back” which is bargaining, the third stage of grief, throughout the instrumental he looks more accustomed to it, AKA acceptance, meaning through only a minute and 30 seconds he showed and went through 4 stages, not to mention how there are 5 drummers, each drummer meaning a stage of grief, no one can explain how they feel like Earl can

I'm not depressed or suicidal this shit is just lyrical genius this is some real shit that alot of people won't listen to because they associate it with depression but you feel these feelings when your not having bad moments

The intro to this is so good, like a demon waking up.

Song is becoming relatable as people around me become more and more fake.

Normally beats like this are meant to make you feel uneasy and anxious. Personally they make me feel at peace, I can lay in my room in the dark with these on repeat

"Never getting out of hand, steady handling my job Time damaging my ties." This is what becoming an adult feels like when you get that 9 to 5 brah.

Best instrumental ever.

"I aint been outside in a minute i been living what I wrote" Is way too relatable for me.

“Step into the shadows we can talk about addiction where its harmful where you’re going and a part of you that knows it doesn’t give a fuck pardon me for going into details” STRAIGHT CHILLS he literally depicted a conscious addiction in a nutshell. This man is literally therapeutic and relatable.

Being an individual who has spent most of his life in loneliness and depression, with severe anxiety and panic disorders; I always seem to enjoy this 'solace' type of music more, even though all it does is rub salt to the wound in a certain way, I feel like I can easily connect and relate to it more than other kinds of music. This one song in particular has been my favorite of all year, for some reason it sort of calms me down and makes me think trough a lot of stuff happening in my life, it's a perfect song to get high to.

Lyrically, this was fucking sick.

“Lately I’ve been panicking a lot... feeling like I’m stranded in a mob, scrambling for Xanax out the canister to pop!”

I am so glad Earl is in a healthier mental space now and I am grateful he shared this part of his journey with us. This album released in my last full year of active addiction/depression during my darkest times. I felt a sense of comfort knowing there was at least one other person who felt the way I did. God speed Earl, we love you.

props to the director of this video

Earl's music is depressing in the coolest way possible.

Idlsidgo >some rap songs> Doris they are all masterpieces he is a genius, his music is my soul may God bless Earl sweatshirt

"Step into the shadows, we can talk addiction. When it's harmful where you goin, and the part of you that know it, don't give a fuck"

Sick video to accompany a dark, slow, dreamy song.

This is literally the theme song for everyone clinically depressed

this song really makes me cry like the bitterness in earl's voice on this track is pure catharsis and its fucking art and its beautiful

"Step into the shadows we can talk addiction" this line hits home. If you've never struggled with drugs or alcohol you honestly can't relate.

this is.....artistic expression in it's purest form...

his head is a circus full of depressing dark thoughts while in reality he sitting alone in the house smoking this reminds me of anxiety..

this hits different when youre dealing with shit you cant or dont want to face

#socialdistancing before it was cool. Earl was 5 years ahead of everyone else.

easily one of the most underrated rappers of this generation. hes easily a top 10 rapper of this generation and people still are sleeping on him smh

I saw a literal sweatshirt with the words EARL on it and his face and I was so confused. I looked up earl sweatshirt. And this popped up. Good stuff!!! His music is so unique and depressing in a good way. I love it

Earl created not only one of the greatest pieces of art the genre ever produced with this, but one of the most dangerous. You can easily get trapped in darkness with this on repeat. It’s terrifyingly relatable. If you’re not careful, it’ll keep you trapped in grief.

This song means a lot to me

I bump this shit even when I'm not depressed

"Feeling like I'm stranded in a mob" describes my life the for the past 3 years.

i hope never get in the mental state that Earl was in making this

This song was there when I was struggling bad with addiction. Some Rap Songs got me through recovery. His music evolves each album

This is brilliance, I feel bad for those who haven't recognized this genius.

Earl comforted me cause I knew I wasn’t alone, and I’m happy I can come back reflect on my life and realize I’m a lot stronger than ever. So if you reading this you’re not alone, We gon be alright, just hold on✊🏾

“I just want my time and my mind intact. Whey they both gone, you can’t buy em back” i love Earl so much

this song and video portrays the feeling of depression so perfectly

Just want my time and mind intact, when they both gone you can't buy em back..

I feel many of us ignored the fact that he was really expressing his feelings. We've seen too many people pass in all realms of music and this, as far as we know, could've been the end of him. Drug addiction and mental health is serious.

this song was wayy ahead of its time

I haven't listened to this song in ages, it's helped me get through some rough times and still does. Thank you Earl 🖤

This song will stick with me for the rest of my life

I'll come back to this album when I'm sad. I don't think I'll be able to enjoy this until I'm in a place similar to where he was at during the making of this. I think the main reason you see the Tyler and Earl split is because Tyler got happier, and Earl got sadder.

Way ahead of its time

Earl sounds like he is about to cry in this.

I think the video starts with him at party where he let's his mind wander. But he quickly realises that despite being surrounded by all these people and with friends, he feels entirely alone. His emptiness leads him to drugs and chasing after women. Which is why they show the ass and legs walking away but nothing else. The mice that seem to meet up and then go different ways can symbolise many things, including his enemies plotting against him (this could be why he shows two guys meet up in between the scenes with the mice and the snake) or it could be his own conflicting thoughts and paranioa of being under attack (hence the snake on the couch approaching the camera/ mice) that he needs to be distracted from with things like...you guessed it, women. But the girl dives into water that looks like an abyss and comes up looking frightening. Forever caught in a perpetual loop of drug abuse and the desire to escape, he finally realises he is a prisoner of his own mind and because of this he can't trust his own instincts as we saw what happened to the woman in the pool. Leaving us to assume he either can't pursue the things he wants for whatever reason because there will always be this abyss between him and it, or that those things are not worth persuing at all. Then he's left with guys in masks playing instruments. I think these are the walls of his mind and he drowns out his loneliness and sorrow with music as he falls deeper into lunacy since the people playing the instruments look like they may be him in different forms. No longer is the abyss just in front of him, but he becomes engulfed in it as all scenery has completely vanished at This point. This whole thing may just be commentary on how fame has affected his life both psychologicaly and socially and how music has been the only thing allowing him to keep a firm grip on reality as the walls of his mind have been relentlessly reminded him that he is all of those things he sees in the video. This is just my take and opinion though so I may be completely wrong lol.

Who is earl and why is his shirt sweaty?

I feel like earl understands depression a lot better than most rappers thanks for making dope music for us sad people

"when it's harmful where you goin, and the part of you that know it don't give a fuck" shit is haunting man..

cant believe this song is about to be 2 years old soon...feels like just yesterday i was grieving over how unfair life was and how i felt like i was living a life trapped in a prison i called my own head. depression was ass...i used to be one of those guys that made fun of people who where depressed and used to say they should man up and stop being ungrateful...oh the irony that was, but now that im normal, thx earl, for being the only artist i felt like i could actually relate to

This song is what keeps me alive. Depression is hard to get rid of.

When Earl said “I ain’t been outside in a minute” I felt that.

This hits different when you’re going through it.

This video is painfully ironic. The way I interpreted it was: he was lonely and down and out. And also surrounded by rats and snakes. He felt paranoid. He finally got the courage to break out his shell when he seen this beautiful chick. He followed her to be disappointed by her and his inner demons. In the end he was left alone again with his only sense of solace, weed. In the end he's surrounded by a band featuring his own self as the opening act to another disappointment. Dope video for a dope song!. Addiction is real

What makes this whole album so good, is that its real, honest thoughts and emotion. Not many artist today write like Earl, or Vince, or anyone else featured on the album. You can tell Earl doesn't front for his audience anymore, because its all for him. He creates music for himself, and puts it out just for the hell of it. This is a real ass rapper right here.

damn ... i was depressed fr back in the day

For a person whose been suffering from depression since last year, I listen to this song to escape this shitty world which I hate

I was in a different place last year, i didn't appreciate what earl was saying, but now, we really in our lone shit, everything been reaped from me nigga.

Tyler got happier, Earl got sadder.

I cant even listen to earl anymore because any time i do it takes me back to those dark times

The fact earls music is so much different now (still love it) just makes these certain tracks that much more special.

earl was the best of OF

ughh that whole first verse 😩😩🔥

still a classic...gonna listen to this in 2020 and forever

No one has been able to replicate this style of music earl did with this song. The first day this song dropped I knew it was going to age like wine every year after it

Listen to EARL, and then this.. Man the progress he's made is insane. Long live odd future.. But I prefer earl as an independent artists.

who else blast this when they feel a type of way

The interlude at the end is beautiful

Earl music makes me feel I can truly be myself and every time I listen to this album, I feel vulnerable and paralyzed and actually let the words dissolve me and the poet involve me in his feelings

this shit looked like its been filmed on a thermal scope from MW2

Damn... when he's sitting on the couch and that snakes staring him down at 3:12. Real shit. He can't move from the sofa cause if he does he's afraid he'll get bit. I think that image symbolizes the name of the album best. You put all your trust into someone and then they turn out to be a dishonorable, betraying serpent. After it happens you don't like shit, and don't go outside anymore. You're just stuck sitting on the sofa keeping your eyes on the snake at all times so you don't get bit again.

I now really REALLY understand the message Earl was giving us... This isnt an anthem of depression its a tactic that he's teaching us to avoid those who create depression and how to combat toxicity

6 years later and this song is still helping me through tough times. If you're reading this, things will get better. Maintain and remain you, peace and love❤

Jesus Christ this song is so fucking real. I can see why people were wondering if Earl was "Okay" after he released this track. This is probably the most authentic look at depression I've ever seen in a song.

Introvert Anthem

Can we just admit Earl is the 🐐

So you're meaning to tell me, 2015 is brining us new Kendrick, Yeezy, Frank Ocean, Earl AND Tyler albums!? God damn, what have I done in life to be this blessed!?
