Duration: 5 min 53 s
Description: In the summer of 2016, The Legendary Mike Posner Band played 66 shows in three months, on three continents. While on tour, Mike performed a new poem each night. The Legendary Mike Posner Band had never heard these poems until they were on stage. In other words, they were totally unrehearsed. ‘The Soldier & The Boy’ is a moving story that touches on the difference perception has on reality.

Open up the window to your soul and let the breeze in while asking yourself: what does it mean to live a fulfilling life? What does this all mean?

Mike Posner visits his father’s gravesite in a riveting, impassioned excerpt on what life has entailed since losing him.

Happy Father's Day (E01)

An encounter with a trainer in a North Hollywood gym leads Mike to observe despair from a different vantage point. When tragedy strikes in life, it's simple to forget the sun's rays are still beaming behind the gloomy cloud looming over. A dark cloud obscuring the light isn't the end, it's merely another opportunity to close your eyes and remind yourself, behind the clouds the sun is always shining. Piano by Super Matt Chatigny. Written and Produced by Mike Posner.

A humbling experience with Kanye West in a New York elevator steers Mike to embark on an unforeseen adventure with his friend Big Sean. With 'Cooler Than Me' making its waves through college dorms, Mike stares blankly at a sociology paper in Duke's library while contemplating his ambitions as a singer. The daunting feeling of rejection can be crippling, especially when it comes from one of the biggest artists in the world, but maybe rejection is the first step into getting to where we want to be.
