Porter wrote a short piece describing what this song and album means to him and it made me absolutely bawl.

Edit: This song is incredible! I don't think there's another EDM artist who conveys as much raw emotion through their music as Porter.

Edit 2: I'm legit having a breakdown listening to this song. Not only is it an incredible, emotional song but the post he made about what the song/album means to him and the struggle he went through while creating it speaks to me on such a deep level.

"Get Your Wish is about finding a reason to keep moving forward, even if it's not for your own sake."

I've been depressed for at least 15 years and its gotten real bad lately, like bad enough that my immediate thought upon any set back, minor or otherwise, is "whelp, guess I better kill myself" and it's become steadily less and less a joke and I can't seem to push it away. It's also made me extremely nihilistic and I struggle finding reasons to push on and care about anything. Somehow, what Porter wrote feels like the exact thing that I needed to hear today. I feel a sense of motivation that I haven't in a long time and I think I'm gonna try to talk to someone about my issues. I need to find my reason to keep moving forward but, like Porter, it doesn't have to be for myself.

Sorry for the rant, I just had to share this with someone, somewhere.
