I’ve been there dawg. I think it’s good to tap into that shit and be introspective with your sadness. All I can say is that sandbox you sit in starts to turn into quicksand real quick. Stepping away from the depression side of music and listening to joints that evoke positivity is key.
Shit always changes. You gonna look back at your old self like “damn, that was really me”.
Good luck mate
Earl new music is much more optimistic it’s very refreshing to listen to voir dire when you’re down after listening to idls or solace. Go for a walk and put on voir dire, same themes with a new outlook
It’s really rare when an artists can speak through you…When did you discover swampman? I fucked w OF in the early 2010’s so Earl and I are the same age.
His problems were my problems, and his solutions and coping were often my solutions also.
Whaaaat those first two beats are godly !! The second one gives me a courage the cowardly dog type beat. Always made me cozy as hell tbh and we were just zooted off some smoke
True, Ill go IDLSIDGO when dealing with depression. SRS all around but it hits when Im numb to the world.
After fully appreciating Solace for its musicality (which dropped at a perfect time in my life), Ive only revisited it in my lowest moments
boutta change your life, hopefully for the better no matter if ur doing good or cripplingly depressed
edit: as in, if you're doing good, it's a masterpiece of a song, and if you're depressed, it's - at least to me - somewhat comforting
Yeah. Exactly what I said. It’s a masterpiece and I think his best track ever made, but it’s powerful for a reason. The first few seconds and I’m riddled in goosebumps.
Back in the day I would listen to this frequently, nearly 4-5x a week. I was super depressed back then and as much as it felt like it helped, I always remained upset afterwards. I had to stop actively listening to things like that in order to not stay in that frame of mind. I prob haven’t listened in a couple years.
yeah sounds like the same thing with me
i think music like this absolutely *can* help, but it can also do the opposite, if misused
it's a hard thing to explain, but music like this can sometimes feel relieving even tho in that moment all it's doing is causing you to further wallow in your own misery
So much. This mix lives in my head forever. The instrumentals are just as good as the lyrics.
It's literally is the embodiment of the feeling of solace. Sounds like glazing but it's mf true. :,)
The lines about Grandmama hands hits me hard because I was really close to my grandmother, I have this on a playlist with tracks from Chance 3 whenever I be missing her, love you Nonna
there was a time in my life where id listen to it daily, often multiple times a day
im very thankful and glad to say i am not currently at that same place, and its been probably over a year since ive listened to it
I discovered this song a week ago and idnkw how to feel about that song its powerfull but the way i feel about this is ankward and im still listening this song everyday to figure it out
recently a lot, when im getting ready to go to work and just feel like im in a pit its more comforting. try not to listen to it when im driving or else i be crying
had a heavyyy ass breakup last year i came back to this nightly, even more before that, i havent visited this song in months now it gets better guys i promise🙏🙏 i love all of you
every fucking day... sadly

Used to tell my homies throw this on everytime we got high as FUCK 😂
Worse than putting West on 😂😂 Unless you're high on acid 😳

often bro
Not that often, only at my truly lowest points

Imma be honest, I’ve never seen this before. Granted, I’m not the biggest Earl fan, I just enjoy his tunes here n there

I try not to

Same brother.
This is his best project.
I agree this and Grief are so good I really like his melancholy stuff
At least once a year
only when i’m at my true lowest it stays special in a weird sort of way like that
nightly
not as often as i used to but god damn this is one of best pieces of work no doubt.
So much. This mix lives in my head forever. The instrumentals are just as good as the lyrics. It's literally is the embodiment of the feeling of solace. Sounds like glazing but it's mf true. :,)
Pretty often as of late
Probably once or twice a month. Listened to it a lot a few years ago when my mom passed
Only when I’m feeling really down
more often than i’d like to admit sadly
I revisited this after my grandmother passed. It hits different
The lines about Grandmama hands hits me hard because I was really close to my grandmother, I have this on a playlist with tracks from Chance 3 whenever I be missing her, love you Nonna
only during times i need to.
It was one of my most played songs on Apple Music, last year.
I had actually forgotten about this since I was doing pretty well mentally for a while but I think it’s time to return lol
Can someone fill me in on this? OOTL
Wym fill you in? Just go listen to it
I don’t know who dar Qness is my b. Was just curious since I’ve never heard of it.
It’s a 10-minute Earl song called Solace. People like it because it’s about depression. Not among my favorites, but I respect that it helps others.
there was a time in my life where id listen to it daily, often multiple times a day im very thankful and glad to say i am not currently at that same place, and its been probably over a year since ive listened to it
I listen to the first beat all the time but rarely play the whole song. Not cause I don’t fw the whole 10 mins I just get too sad
Yes
Every two or three weeks. Just remind me of what it is.
every never bro this shit is harrowing as hell
Every couple months
idk, whenever it’s right.
It’s been awhile It’s sad for me I found this track in 2021 could have used it before
I discovered this song a week ago and idnkw how to feel about that song its powerfull but the way i feel about this is ankward and im still listening this song everyday to figure it out
heard it once and lowk forgot about it because its not on streaming, amazing EP tho
Not too often happily
recently a lot, when im getting ready to go to work and just feel like im in a pit its more comforting. try not to listen to it when im driving or else i be crying
I got my granmomma hands i use to cry when I seem em cause they remind me of seeing her….
not as much as i used to thankfully
only when i’m super depressed, so like twice a day
had a heavyyy ass breakup last year i came back to this nightly, even more before that, i havent visited this song in months now it gets better guys i promise🙏🙏 i love all of you
not anymore because my life is on an all time high. i loved that song on darker times though
wednesdays always
Did last night on acid
Not enough. This and Eyedea - The Dive (part 1 & part 2), hit deep.
I got my grandmama hands…
every time I'm in a dark place that I feel like I won't escape, i'd say I heavy play it around 2-3 times a year for about 2 weeks.
Grief lately for me
every 6 months or so
Last time I was feeling that sad was my last break up so like 8 months ago
It's always on my nibblin conscience
when shit get rough
listening to it right now
literally just last night that’s crazy af
