Lyrics:
well, do you feel better now?
i thought i’d run until the sky came out
and with the sunlight on my face,
something changed

and just trying to feel alive,
you climbed a mountain —
are you satisfied?
as you stand at the top,
you already want to do this one more time

maybe it’s a gift that i couldn’t recognize
maybe i don’t really need to feel satisfied
maybe it’s a gift that i spend all this time
just trying to feel alive

maybe i don’t really wanna be satisfied
maybe it’s a gift that i couldn’t recognize
maybe this all -
maybe this was all …

and then somebody, somewhere finds the warmth of summer in the songs you write
maybe it’s a gift that i couldn’t recognize:
trying to feel alive

    You’re literally saving lives you’ll never know of.

    " Here I am on the other side of this, still struggling with making music, still not necessarily feeling whole, but beginning to understand that maybe that's a good thing. Maybe that’s the point. Maybe making music is my way of trying to feel alive, over and over again.” Porters description on the song.
  • @KandiFangs
    This whole album feels like a healing ache, like old wounds closing as the sun soaks into your skin. Hurts, but in such a good way.

    "and then somebody, somewhere finds the warmth of summer in the songs you write" THIS IS US PORTER. THIS IS US. Thank you for bringing and sharing Nurture to us. We love you 💖
  • @Avossk
    "Maybe I don't really need to feel satisfied" I hope every creative person is able to embrace that sentiment bc it just goes to show that you'll always have room to grow and evolve as an artist and it's such a beautiful note to end this album off on Thank you so much Porter, this album genuinely means so much to me
  • @dessertoni
    And here is the best album of the year plus decade
  • @glencepeda9958
    My dad suddenly passed away last week. Been listening to Porter Robinson "Look at the Sky" on repeat ever since. This new song of his, "Trying to feel Alive" hits hard but in an uplifting way. Thank you Porter. ❤

    This album is emotion in the form of sound.
  • @MrHazmie
    Nurture Endings: Best Ending: Trying To Feel Alive Secret Ending: Fullmoon Lullaby Actual Ending: Goodbye To A World (Nurture Live Edit) I found this very accurate.

    When the choir thing came in I just died
  • @dIEGO-te5mw
    I want to cry... laugh... think... write... scream... jump... sing... love... walk... look... compose... recite...I just want to do it all... I have so many good feelings right now, it's like I know exactly what you are missing and give it all to you with each song.... You're not conscious of time, you don't want the last note to come, the last song, the last verse and at the same time if you want, to start the journey all over again.It was worth waiting more than a year. My soul is Nourished ❤️🌳🕊️☁️☃️🔥🌊👩
  • Listening to this on a friday morning saying to myself, 'this is going to be the best day of my life'
  • @baconhwang
    This song sounds like a caterpillar being born and exploring the world around it
  • @vex7830
    The little robot voice thing brings so much to the song
  • @colour_bloo
    Trying to feel alive, feels like the end credits to a movie, where the protagonist is finally at peace with themselves, after overcoming their personal struggles. I also like how we hear his real voice I'm this song - it's like he finally doesn't have to hide behind mask anymore.
  • @dewkiid5952
    and Porter finished this album with his own voice, without a pitch corrector, it's so beautiful, really, as if everything was going towards this, an incredible sense of completeness, and his voice sounds so warm and kind, thanks God for Porter, I seemed to have been waiting for this album all my life, I am so happy listening to this
