    His stuff is so humble, pure, and earthy. So bare bones, but so complex in its simplicity. I just found out about him recently through my mom, and I’ve been listening all day. Beautiful.

    I have been breaking down lately a lot of times spending hours and hours and years and years on all my art and having it go nowhere, it’s like your heart and soul are rejected and you’re just left to be a rag doll dragged around in the mud – stitches ripped out – this song makes me happy, I think this is the best song ever written, thank you God for making this so beautiful – we should run around outside now – it’s true, we aren’t alone – thank you so much

    this is so pure. there are no filters or anything like that. most ppl will not take the time you need to understand the beauty of his song. like HST said: …some kind of high powered mutant (music) never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. all the best to DJ

    This is more than a story of an artist. this is a story of a man in todays society that is socially outcast because he mentally is incapable of conforming… i only wish i could be inside of that beautiful mind that makes such eye opening and aweinspiring words come together to express the depth of the lonliness anyone in this state of mind has.

    fuck social outcasting. everyone deserves the life they’re given, and everyone deserves to be happy.
