mike posner i took a pill in ibiza seeb remix hulkshare

‘Cause my name’s a reminder of a pop song people forgotĪll my friends are all gone but there’s manicured lawns I’m just a singer who already blew his shot

You don’t wanna be stuck up on that stage singingĭarling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs You don’t ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone I’m a real big baller ’cause I made a million dollars

“I Took a Pill in Ibiza” by Mike Posner (Seeb Remix omits last verse)Īnd when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older Don’t forget to check out the full lyrics below. Please take a listen of the remix track here and the original track here. All the heavy realizations that he empties out in this one is a hard pill to swallow. While I really enjoy Seebs’ color and texture that they bring to the remix, it is Posner’s lyrics that really make it a good song. When this song is broken down, you realize that Posner is pouring out his failures, fears, and disappointments within his own popularized life (kind of strange to dance to now?). But when he is asked by others how to get to such a high spot in fame, he feeds them the chorus. He can’t have a relationship because “the truth is he can’t open up.” He already “blew his shot” and in the last verse (which Seeb actually left out likely because it can’t be masked with the club-like scene) he returns home to a world that thinks a lot of him. He does things for others “just to prove” himself. This is even more emphasized in the verses. Imagine the one thing that kept your life going-your dreams-is now something you are stuck in? With all that downward emotion playing on his life every day, he is left with only “sad songs.” When he is performing, he is “stuck” doing the act. He doesn’t know who to trust and feels alone. He implies that all the success he has had has actually made him feel low and sad. In the chorus, he endlessly repeats the phrases “You don’t wanna” followed by an action in his life. I think when most people first listen to the remix, they here the first few lines, cap if for a party song and don’t bother to hear what else Posner is saying.

While there is not nearly as much power in the original’s sound (I actually find it a little stiff on the musicality side), what will stick out is the true weight in the lyrics (which don’t really shine through on the remix). If you take a listen to the original you’ll find a slower, acoustic melody compared to the swifter, layered remix. Mike Posner put out the original I Took a Pill in Ibiza on his “At Night, Alone” album and the remix was released by the Norwegian duo Seeb. There is just something to the thrummed synthetic sound that makes me not only move but listen. While I’m sure this song has grown in popularity in clubs, bars, and on your local radio station, it has also managed to stay course and be popular with myself.
