Making of Everything Goes On w/Porter Robinson | Star Guardian 2022 

THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL

The fact that he is the one who reached out is so adorable.

Reminiscnet of the time I used to watch the BTS of Porter making Shelter's music and MV. I just can't believe how beautiful "Everything Goes On" turned out, be it the amazing song or the touching animation, it was absolutely perfect and the entire SG2022 event finally gave me that last push to start playing League and icl it's been a fun few days

Being a long time fan of Porter and seeing him come this far spawned tears in my eyes. He knows how to access the emotions and feelings hidden within the heart's deepest corners with his work. This theme and the song just exude radiance and comfort all over.

Beautiful. I always love hearing Porter talk about his creative process and what's going through in his mind when he is making the music I love to listen to. That was so neat to see a bit of the symphony playing the song as well! I figured he just used a synthesized sound for those beautiful strings in the song but to see that it was actually done with real instruments, well, it just makes sense why they stand out so gorgeously in the song. :)

Man… Porter is such a breath of fresh air. True artist who captures nostalgia so well

that's my most favourite lyric ever in the song "Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told." it can apply to anyone who misses someone or something in their life

Truly A Work of Art, Loved this song and all the music they created for Star Guardians.

This song is a true masterpiece. It really hits hard when I listen to it during difficult times. There’s just something so special about Porter’s music. Sometimes, it reminds me of something heartbreaking, other times, it’s full of hope. I truly admire him and his endless creativity and musical expressions. I get really emotional and start crying every single time I listen to one of his songs… but everything goes on!

It's crazy how this guy's music helped me through the lowest point of my life, no other music has touched and healed my spirit like Nurture did. Hopefully he'll compose something for the Kingdom Hearts series one day.

I ain't gonna lie after first time listening to "Everything goes on", I quickly fell in love with it, the SG story and most of all Porter's Voice. The song really gives me nostalgia like I'm reliving my childhood and it has magical vibes in it where I feel like I'm in a fantasy world! Yeah music production of riot games prove their amazing music again, they never let us down. 10/10 NO! 100/10!

I once cried reading comments, while listening to one of his songs, Goodbye to a world. I feel so privileged that Porter Robinson made an emotional song for the game I love so much since i was a kid... Thank you for this piece of work 😭

"It just gets me every time" Yeah sure, and now I've been crying 45 out of the 50 times that I listened to the song. The 5 times that I managed not to cry were only because I was fetching a new handkerchief.

I will always be enraptured by how porter is able to write songs that feel like just a glimpse into an expansive world. Songs like ‘sad machine’, ‘years of war’, ‘shelter’, ‘unfold’ and now ‘everything goes on’ all feel like snippets from stories that would take hours to understand. What’s amazing about these songs though is despite only being 3 minutes out of these larger journeys, they can somehow make you feel as though you understand all the emotional weight behind them, even with only those blissful 3 minutes.

Every time I listening to this masterpiece, my tears comes on their own.

"The best advice I feel I can give other people who are trying to do creative work is to try to make your own favorite thing." -Porter

Of all the lines in the lyrics, the "Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told" was the one who hit the hardest. What a powerful line indeed.

Porter has this gift of pulling an emotion out of a person through his music and lyrics and he just keeps getting better and better with each release. This song hit me so hard when I first heard it with the Start Guardian premiere because it helped round out this story to help you feel for the characters. Then sitting down and listening more to the lyrics, hit me harder becaue of someone close to me being in late stage dementia. "Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told." and "Then I felt you on my shoulder, and you weren't suffering anymore" just...wrecked me. Thanks Riot for bringing in such a beautiful artist for this event.

When I heard the song the first time I didn't think much of it... I guess I was also mostly focused on the beautiful animation. But I've been coming back to it every day since for some reason and get extremely emotional every time I hear it. No idea why, this song just brings out certain memories and feelings for me.

Please god and all that is holy, I wish Riot will surprise drop a Star Guardians Anime or an OVA. The chances of that is as low as the PVE happening, but please let it happen. I’m huffing dangerous and borderline lethal amounts of copium right now, so please let me at least die in peace.

I gotta check out his music. He seems really genuine. And this song still make me cry still. I love 2 paths they were going with kai'Sa and Xayah. But for me, Xayah and Rakans hits me more. Star Guardian is on the top of lore when it comes to league.

Everytime I see something new with Porter, I already know that's gonna leave me at emotional places I have never been before.

I love how everyone in the comments knew Porter Robinson before league and its amazing to see two titans which the communities already pulled together, coming together and doing something that actually exceeds our expectations and meets what we desired from these two forces together. Thank you RIOT and Porter :)

THis song just brings a tear to my eye everytime the line "When we are gone, everything goes on" comes. This is a masterpiece and I believe Riot always nails music. Love you for this Mr.Robinson and plz buff tristana. Peace

Goddamit im crying!! the music is so Beautifull!i have it on replay everyday!

Love these behind the scenes so much. Please make more of these, there's so much potential, like for future cinematics and stuff.

Porter has already captured our emotions through Shelter, that's more than enough for me to look forward to.

at 4:03, Porter's reaction was exactly mine when I heard the song, and also when I make a cool tune myself. I love that they do the behind the scenes stuff because it makes everything so real.

Thanks for that masterpiece Porter and also Riot games. This is more than just a promotional music video, this is art and every single person working on that project nailed it.

I love listening to Porter speak. He’s so well spoken and know exactly how to convey what he’s trying to explain. I believe that everything he says is truly genuine. Never stop being yourself, Porter! ❤️ Also, shoutout to Porter’s amazing fan base that has kept it positive and real for so many years. Glad to be a part of it!

I didn't really understand the lyric "All the vines that keep you tethered to your room" until I heard the full version of the song. The vines are iv tubes and other medical cables. I just recently FINALLY heard the full song and it slammed into me like crazy. I think I cried when first watching the music video and cried again at the full song a full three months later. Might be something I'd love to have played at my funeral one day. A perfect combination of sad and uplifting.

As a composer myself, I really love how Porter Robinson breaks down his thought process. It's fascinating to see how other people put together music. Building the song around a single musical motif and message is something I do with my songs, and it's quite reassuring to know it isn't a bad idea. EDIT: Also, wanting to write your new favorite song hits hard for me. I always end up obsessing over my newest piece, listening to it on repeat, singing it constantly like a madman. It's a very chaotic and beautiful process.

Thank you Porter Robinson for the explanation, you truly are a master at your work :)

its not even been a week since the song have launched yet it already gives nostalgia, absolutely amazing song, really captured the feeling of the current state of star guardians

Porter Robinson. Such a genuine and gifted person. Thank you for making the world a better place through your music.

Porter you are a phenomenal artist and I'm soo grateful I'm even able to experience ur music. My favorite lyric from this song is. "So let's pretend a little longer" something about that specific part really just hits different for me

Wow, that was a fantastic look behind the scenes. I definitely sensed everything he was talking about in his reflection. His emotions and heart totally came through in the music. Beautiful!

Absolutely love everything about this song. It’s really helping me through an incredibly hard time rn. Porter if you somehow see this, thank you for everything 🙏

I just wanna talk to him now. Wanna know what other lines had that emotional impact as he was writing the song that was akin to "I'm just a story you've been told". The line "cause when we're gone, everything goes on" is also extremely sad - makes me feel like the he's trying to put distance between them in order to comfort her, but we feel how sad it must be for her to hear that - that their love is just an inconsequential part of the universe.

The way Porters mind works has been such an inspiration for me. I always love the behind the scenes footage he does, you really get an insight into what he's doing, especially in the nurture and shelter ones! Love this

His music has always had an element of magic to it, that you could really grasp onto and feel. the fusion of the song, the lyrics, melody, with key moments in the animation really drive it to a world beyond. I really felt it for days afterwards, as it played in my head on repeat, and that just does not happen with as many songs that I've listened to. Big thank you to the team who worked with Porter Robinson. I don't think it would have been anywhere as profound if not for the blending of visuals with his song.

Porter Robinson's song never makes me disappointed. Everytimes he brings a new song to us, it's always a masterpiece

This song that you sung hit me so hard! You work is art! Been listening this song on repeat for HOURS and haven't gotten sick of it yet. Love your song. Also to have this for a song for Xayah and Rakan is beyond bettersweet. Like everyone that knows their lore knows the love they have for eachother.

What a good way to show the creative process, really made me appreciate the song even more!!!

Am I the only one who cried and cried watching this? I feel so understood. These feel like my words too. Omg what a beautiful and empathetic soul.

Porter Robinson is such an amazing artist! I've been a long time fan, but seeing him perform at EDC, watching his livestreams during lockdown, and now THIS?!? Tears EVERYWHERE!

As someone who also has a person close to me going through clinical depression and anxiety this really warms my heart. She isn't really into league but I'm happy that she is able to enjoy this through Porter's music. Much love everyone!

Man, ive been playing league for so long and ive lost the original people I played the starguardian events with. Those were some of the best memories i have and as a Xayah player i lost my Rakan. Starguardian has always held a special place in my heart and this song really hits everything i needed it to. Hearing the intentions behind the creative process really drives it home too.

this is absolutely beautiful. the passion and the love behind the art brings literal tears to my eyes. thank you for sharing your vision and emotions with everyone. it is truly appreciated

They should make an animated series like what they did with Arcane.

As an aspiring musician, I am truly inspired by Porter Robinson's music. I admire the fact that his music makes me remember certain emotions and I just reminisce the past while listening to his music.

The music was incredible and it had me in my feelings

i saw you at the gorge, man i cried so much when you were closing it out and just speaking

Chills. So awesome to see the making and behind the scenes of porters work. Such a musical genius

This song is a straight up masterpiece. I can listen to it over and over and over again. So much LOVE to you people at League of Legends and Porter Robinson for creating this insanely beautiful piece of art!!! 💖💖💖

I love how he brings his art into spaces beyond physical touch and combines reality with it its like his niche

The music hits hard like a malphite diving turret with her 3 more friends

i still cant believe porter and league did a collab never thought that day would come

I love this song so much and the story behind the lyrics and its emotional meaning

When my son who is 26 sent me this song and asked me if I'll like this song? So I listened to it once and I was hooked immediately! I'm not a kid but I acted like one every time I played this song so many countless times! IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL TO LISTEN to, I feel like a kid again 😊

Man !!! I don’t know .. I get so emocional with this !! But thank you so much Porter !! This is so magical 🪄💖

Thankyou for this masterpiece!

He made such a wonderful work. Its just PERFECT. THANK YOU SOO MUCH!! For this wonderful piece of work ❤️❤️❤️

I'M GONNA CRY this is so beautiful. I love the inspiration and the hard work the crew put into this.

On the verge of tears listening to it. It’s so sincere as he says, speaks so many volumes about the human experience, specifically ours. Thank you Porter and Riot ❤

The animation the music the lyrics its all filled to the brim with emotional meaning to the starguardian world and to us as a audience. It helps us connect with the characters and world so brillantly. The whole song just vibes with the starguardians.

I cant say that I love this event soo much but I absolutely loved the music video, this music has this sad but in the same time magical vibe, really loved it

what an incredible story to tell - thank you to everyone involved! you've brought some magic into the lives of everyone this touches.

Thank you Porter and Riot! Truly a great song and animation!!!!

U can feel the love and effort that went to making this song and the animation and I haven’t seen that in riot for quite awhile this is probably my favourite song of 2022❤️

I could listen to Porter talk about his music and passions for hours and not get tired of it. Truly a fantastic musician and an amazing song overall!

Thank you for your vulnerability about your creative process with this song! I loved learning about it. Your song is incredible, and I'm so impressed by it!

As a producer I would like to have a listen to the instrumental version just to analyze how it was made and all the details it contains. I always loved Porter Robinson and his music but this one is definitely my favorite. If you're looking for me these days, I'll be in Spotify playing this song on repeat

As a musician I relate with so many things he said in this, and I loved this whole collab, from the trailer, to the orchestral theme, to the actual song. Awesome.

Man, I'm bawling and Porter did it again. Pulling heart strings left and right, their creative process making the music video was beautiful and always left tears in our eyes.

This whole Star Guardian theme including this amazing and beautiful song by Porter Sir has really touched my heart. Thank you Porter Sir for giving us such an amazing song and thanks to Riot for creating such an amazing animation. Love is so beautiful and this video and the song both are just perfect examples.

So this is the reason why i can relate so much on this song.. It hit me when he said "what it's like when someone you love is really suffering and you're trying to help them through that"..my tears drop..because I am going through it right now..and this song helped me..gave me strength to help person I love right now..so thank you

Such a wonderful song. It really brings me back into what I love about music, and has served it's purpose very well. I love seeing these characters in a setting that is more similar to my own, the song definitely made me cry a few times. The animation is so beautiful and so is the song. :D

I really love how this song can reach out to so many people, me especially. I lost something very important to me and this song..even though it reminds me of what I lost…it also helped me to move on.

One of my fav artists, crazy to see his development and expression over the years. Couldnt really think of anyone better to work on star guardian

The entire song, lyrics and MV had me tearing up, thank you for creating this Porter 💙

this song, like all of Riot's, has made me cry 🥹​🥹​, help this song is very melancholy but even so I can't stop listening to it ♡🥹​

Absolutely adore this song, such beauty in the sadness, thank you for making this!

Fun fact: these videos makes our days better

My man, you're doing great and we're all proud of you. Thank you wholeheartedly.

I love it even more knowing he's into league of legends too. The passion behind the song resonates really well.

I've been playing this game for years and you just made me enjoy this game a LOT better since your intro music tone! It's beautiful. It makes me feel this sense of wonder, kinda calm before the storm, but the build up is kinda like I'MA FIGHT EVERYBODY HERE and then I start the adventure and my courage is higher than me :) I wish I had better words to describe a beautiful melody lol

When I 1st heard this song, it made me cry. I lost my fiance 2 years ago at COVID pandemic in Brazil and I just couldn't go through without him. I was lost, we couldn't say goodbye to each other and it was just killing me inside. The kindness and the love in this song is too close from him and helped me to breath again. The last seconds when Xayah had flashes of Rakan, I shouted together... 10x a lot for this amazing work. It meant a lot to me.

What an incredible behind the scenes video! Huge fan of Porter Robinson now, I did not expect him to be such a thoughtful open person!

OMG, that's freaking deep man! He's really tuning those great chords and amazing emotions into a miracle rhapsody. I love Porter Robinson's opus!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

This video was awesome to listen to and learn about the inspiration and culmination of the song

Porter really says it well with what he wanted the song to instill on players and listeners. I definitely got flashbacks of when I first experienced the star guardian events and league in general, very touching. Very well made song, thank you

What a beautiful outro! Very interesting and really like the song- really grows on you.

Thank you for the beautiful song.

When I heard this song for the first time I cried. This song hit so hard with me…I recently survived a very traumatic event that took friends away from me and almost took me away and seeing me this past year fighting back darkness and suffering reminded me that my husband stayed with me even when it was very difficult. After hearing the song I finally saw how i have accepted the new me, learning to be happy again and stop living with survivors guilt. I have loved the star guardians when it was only lux and even more when Ahri became one. The song you made is helping me continue to heal and accept myself, so thank you deeply.

thank you for sharing with us :)

this star guardian lore and this music... Riot has so much potential story to make into movies, into full-fledged high budget standalone games that I know people would love. I hope one day we will see a game about Pantheon's journey, Sylas and Lux, Story game of the Star Guardian lore and maybe even a Shurima-themed game that takes us through the history of the Darkins and the story of man-made gods

Love then song, love the music video (both trailer and lyrics), I heard that song over and over for almost 2 weeks now! That's how much I love it!

You defenity got your point across cuz I hadnt played the game since the first maybe peak 2nd group of star guardians came out and I just recently looked at the newer stuff, especially star guardians stuff, and your song along with the animation with it had really hit an emotional nerve for me. Its sad yet so beautiful.

I love the heart in this. I love to see videos about league. I love to see videos about songwriting. And I especially love that a fan got to be a part of something they came to love.
