so proud to share this song and video with you guys... i've been away, working to get better and come back with something worthy of your time. if you want it, there's more on the way. thank you all! welcome to the family.
Its that the scales are continually lowering while the keys themselves jump back and forth. The rhythm and tones take you places while reminding you of where you were.
Can't believe I've been following Watsky since 2012. He's grown and evolved as an artist over the years yet still maintains his appeal that drew me in all those years ago
“So tell me what you witnessed, if the price of life is hell, well you never had to sell me on how nice a fire smelled” - THE BEST LINE IN ANY SONG EVER
Honestly no matter how hard I try to be negative, I can't help but notice things that give me hope and make me find enjoyment in this hell. This song is one of those things.
This is not the first teacher comment I’ve read here, and I’m just wondering what kind of school you all went to?! I didn’t have a single teacher nearly looking this cool back in my day.
You know George, I remember the days of White Boy Raps Fast, and holy shit you've come a long way since then. I'm glad that I've been able to be there every step of the way. This is art, and amazing art at that. I can't wait to see what you come out with next!
I'm utterly shocked that you aren't incredibly popular by now. Your music was a big part of what got me through my formative years. All my high school bus rides and adolescent memories have a soundtrack in common, and you created it. Thank you, for all you've made as well as specifically this song. It warms my heart to know that you're still killing it just as much as you were in 2013 when I first learned of your work, and that you are still growing and changing as an artist both stylistically and thematically. You'll always be a legend, George. We love you.
I mean same though to be honest, and now he's wearing triangular pendant and inducting us into the illuminati, but I still love his music! Personally, I find this song charming yet creepy, and that's what an up and coming cult leader should aspire to be! Love ya B!
YourPalHDee lol when?? I have a friend that when to a concert of his and he went crowd surfing and she said he touched his hair and everyone was fine? I’m pretty sure he would’ve made sure everyone was ok I’m confused
@@isabellefernandez2518 just RU-vid search it, my friend was there when it happened. It was a stupidly irresponsible thing to do and he broke some poor girl's arm.

A+ 10/10, love everything about this, would be honored to be a 2nd cousin-once-removed-in-this family (also, from music nerd point of view, your flow + those piano chords are magic, shoutout to all the diminished 2s our there)
Not going to lie, at release, I wasn't a huge fan of this song. Now that it's been a few years and I've lost most of my blood family and had to start building one out of the few friends I have that stayed by me, I can honestly say, I love this song. It just hits so close to home.
Watsky has never done anything that sucks. In my opinion one of the most technically and artistically creative artists of all time. Watsky, you deserve all the respect and more. Don't ever stop doing what you do.
I mean, you have a reasonably high like count on the comment so you must not be the only one thinking it but the replies are pretty shit. I'm just here to say I agree with you and that Watsky is definitely vastly underrated.
Makes me cry every time I listen to carefully to the lyrics. Sometimes I can just jam out to this one but if I sing and rap along the tears just stream.
If I weren't dead tired from packing the last 4 days, I'd be crying right now. While packing tonight, I stumbled across my scrapbook I was putting together with my ex from 4.5 years ago and little cards and letters she wrote me. She's long since moved on and so have I but I do miss her and then got a bit depressed at the fact that things were perfect with her and somehow things went wrong somewhere and I've been alone ever since. So yeah, thank you for this song/video Watsky. Hearing "You deserve love" kinda choked me up a bit.
And there's so much I've been silent on But I'll whisper every secret to you when this mic is gone And I know you'll listen And I know it's different But it brings me peace, our missing pieces could be siblings

I gotta say I kinda liked Watsky before, but when xInfinity hit the stores, it blew me away and became one of my all time favourite albums... I still listen to Talking to Myself daily, that's one of these songs that somehow give you more than most. So hyped for the new songs!
WerewolfofEpicness I god damn love the flair Watsky developed when he started to earn enough on the music. Phenomenal production values and great feats show the money went to right places, not to mention he got much more courageus with his ideas. High budget Watsky is best Watsky.
Just discovered this guy. My mind feels like it's on drugs listening to him. His music is so immaculate and different from anything I've heard....I'm happy I found this artist
When my daughter was 7, she said she wanted to play this for the child she adopts. She wants them to know they deserve love and they are welcome in her family🥰😭
I've been a fan since 2013. I just gotta say, no one does music like you man. Your style, your creativity, your emotion. They make you unique. And I love them. I finally have enough extra money to go to a concert so next time you're in town look for me in the crowd. -Vancouver Chance-
Hello, hello, hello, hello (hello, hello, hello, hello) It's a motherfucking pleasure (it's a motherfucking pleasure) No pressure, but would you like to blow my mind And move too fast and plan our perfect lives together? (Plan our perfect lives together) Holy, holy, holy, holy (holy shit), you mean to tell me, tell me, tell You're tough to love when you don't love yourself, well Welcome to the family Welcome to the family Welcome to the family My less exciting features are packed inside my body They're crammed into the balcony, they're jamming up the lobby They're falling out the window You can see them crashing through the glass When I don't keep my lids closed as the director flicks his wrist The stagehand in the wing has got a silver chain he grips And when he lifts it opens up the velvet curtains of my lips And I say Welcome to the family Welcome to the family Welcome to the family We're not looking to wish on a star We're no good at receiving the help Who the hell do you think that you are? Trying to make me believe in myself You're like the sun in the summertime I know you are but what am I? I don't really wanna sound like a lullaby But I think every family is a butterfly You know, pretty from afar, pretty gross up close Don't pity what we are, it's mostly unhideous And I'm sitting at the bar with a beer So cheers, come toast me Get cozy since we're both lonely Why don't we leap and then go see What we become when it's done, it's dumb But I'm not looking below, so don't ghost me And it's seeming like we're in agreement That the demon that we're fighting isn't the exact same But if we're teaming up and carrying the weight together We can miss a bit of back pain And if you're into it then we can get up out the city In a minute in the fast lane Get hitched in a chapel in Vegas Maybe get rich, life is a craps game And I take my cue, from you On what you wanna do 'bout a last name It's not so bad to be a Watsky Welcome to the family Welcome to the family Welcome to the family Those fires in your attic that rage without permission Some days invade your living room or break out in the kitchen They breeze right through the building They just show up as they please And then retreat like grown up children Well how'd you like to split this l and Tell me what you've witnessed If the price of life is hell Well no one ever had to sell me on how nice a fire smells Welcome to the family Welcome to the family Welcome to the family And there's so much I've been silent on But I'll whisper every secret to you when this mic is gone And I know you'll listen (listen) And I know it's different (different) But it gives me peace our missing pieces could be siblings The rough nights ain't leaving, so why the hell should we? And I say Welcome to the family Welcome to the family Welcome to the family You deserve love (welcome to the family) You deserve love (welcome to the family) You deserve love (welcome to the family) You deserve love You deserve love (welcome to the family) You deserve love (welcome to the family) You deserve love (welcome to the family)
The eye contact on the greatest lines is so telling and honest... And tell me what you witnessed if the price of life is hell, well no one ever had to sell me on how nice a fire smells.
No, it was "Who is that boy? How does he rap so good? I don't, know, how, that, pale boy raps so fast, how does he do, that, do that? Meow, meow meow, meow, meow"
I know your budget has never been massive, but you make music and music videos that absolutely blow me away every time regardless and I think as an artist you should be really proud of everything that you have put out there. Your music has made me think, it's made me feel top of the world, it's changed my world view and I owe you a lot of thanks for making content like this. I'd say you were the greatest musician or the GOAT or something but You're a Watsky and that's the greatest compliment I could give you.
"Holy holy holy holy, you mean to tell me tell me tell you're tough to love when you don't love yourself?" ... Watsky, haven't you've been in my head lately? ...in the last liftime or so?
So glad to know there is more on the way, Its nice to see you posting more on twitter hyping up stuff like this, always worth the wait I am yet to dislike any of your music (been a fan for many years now). The same can't be said for 99% of artists who fall into the trap of making something people 'want' to hear and not what the artist believes in.
Same! I remember being so so excited when this was released!! I'm 20 so I'm barely too old for tik tok and I got one just because and when I heard this song used I got so excited lmaooo
X infinity was an incredible project, i love the work you did with your band, and now songs like this, you`re incredible and unbelievably slept on, keep up the hard work, always put out what you make, we love it.
I’ve never had a song connect with me so deeply until I heard this, I’ve been going through a very difficult time mentally for the past year and listening to this makes me feel like I’m not alone. Some of the lines almost exactly describe what I’ve been going through to the point where I’d skip the song when it would come up on my playlist because it’d upset me when I heard it. Now I realize it’s meant to address the listener, about how you need to grow up and accept help from others even when you don’t want to, and that you should let yourself be loved. Watsky has a way of making you feel like you’re in his shoes but like he’s a more knowledgeable (although still fucked up) version of yourself at the same time. I wish I could’ve met him and Feed the Biirds backstage.
This is such a beautiful song. It's about two people learning to love each other not in in spite of their demons, but in an effort to fight them together. So much of love is working on yourself, trying to be better. And it's scary going into a relationship when it looks like you're a mess and they're perfect. Her Watsky is telling his lover that it's ok, they're not so different after all, and they both deserve to be loved through their hardships.
This song gives me chills every time I listen to it. I adore the poetic imagery this song evokes and the flow of the fourth verse. I live for the line "If the price of life is hell-Well no one ever had to sell me on how nice a fire smells." UGH, so good!
Watsky. I'm so sorry I JUST NOW found you.You're such a GENIUS! And it looks like everything you've done is just as amazing. Thanks for the new and the old.
This song made me feel so good. God I would love to meet you in person. I appreciate your work as an artist, a poet, and a rapper. Honestly your music is so lyrically fucking gorgeous. I don't know how to put my love for your work into words. You are an artist that I find myself really connecting with. Honestly I look forward to every little song and every video you make. You are a talented artist and I really hope you continue making music for all of us.
Saw Watsky in Milwaukee less than a week ago... got brought along by my brother but ended up having such an amazing time and totally fell in love with his music. And here we are, listening to song after song and loving it all! Thanks for existing, George. You rock.
Back here again four years later. This is my husband and I's song. Played it right when we got together, when we got engaged, at our wedding reception and now in the first moments in our first house with a baby on the way. No other song means quite as much to me. In so many ways if anyone ever reads this, welcome to the family. You deserve love ❤️
Not gonna lie, a guy I thought was good for me introduced me to you and your music. Well it’s safe to say, at least one good thing came from that shit-show 😜 Here’s hoping you somehow make it over here to Ireland!
George, every album you create provides at least one song that helps further me on my path to deal with my past and become a better version of myself. Thank you. I owe you more than I could ever repay you.
Listen one: Aesthetic Listen two: Learn key lines Listen three: Listening to meaning Mind blown - try to learn all and get mad when no one wants to hear your mumble rapping skills.
This is the kind of song I want to re-like every time I listen to it, and I have to remind myself not to make that mistake and take credit away from this songs brilliance.
You're my fave lyricist besides Aesop Rock and I've only listened to your shit this year. Im bad about my back catalogue of things I should be hearing, and I'm so grateful you exist. And I'm a stubborn metal head delving into new territory, and you have made it worthwhile. Props to you smart mofukka. You probably won't see this, but if you do, know you reached me. That's important. Cheers mate.
