Watch the visualizer for ‘Look At The Sky’ on YouTube below.
Porter Robinson says,
ββLook at the Sky is fundamentally a song about hope. Thereβs no shortage of fuel for despair, but you canβt take meaningful action to improve things if you donβt have some belief that things might get better. Thatβs what hope is, and I think itβs an emotion worth nourishing. I wrote this song at my lowest point emotionally, when I thought I couldnβt make music anymore, and I wasnβt sure if my existence would have any meaning if I couldnβt make music. In the lyrics, Iβm sort of imagining what life would be like once I was on the other side of all that fear and anxiety and sadness. Iβm happy to report that itβs amazing on the other side of all this, and Iβm so glad I had hope and persisted.β
‘Look At the Sky’ first debuted during Porter Robinson’s Secret Sky livestream event last May, following the first three singles from Nurture – ‘Mirror’, Get Your Wish’, and ‘Something Comforting’.

NurtureΒ spans a highly challenging period in Porterβs life. Following his 2014 debutΒ Worlds, which found Porter headlining festivals worldwide and being heralded as a wunderkind of a burgeoning new style of electronic music, Porter began to experience severe anxiety under the pressure of his success to a degree that was creatively crippling, smothered by his own self-criticism and high expectations.

Through much personal work, the artist began to experiment with a completely new sound which eventually became the critically acclaimed side project Virtual Self. After some time, he finally returned to the piano and his own voice as the basis for the next evolution in his sound. NurtureΒ is the resulting document of this period, a testament to hope and persistence in the face of the negative voices in oneβs own head.
‘Nurture”s physical orders are available in standard vinyl, standard retail vinyl, and deluxe vinyl box set. The standard vinyl comes in opaque white vinyl discs whereas the standard retail vinyl comes in clear vinyl discs. Both feature a matte finish gatefold jacket as well as the NurtureΒ lyric booklet.
