The 2k11 nostalgia is real, can't believe it was 10 years ago.

one of the most beautiful and underrated songs of all time

2024 still listening.

This was my favorite song from NBA 2K11

i was heavily depressed and after a failed attempt at suicide i listened to this song tripping on mushrooms and suddenly i realized how beautiful life really is and can be. i was just a teenager then and now as an adult this song still brings tears to my eyes. cudi always talks about wanting to be there for that lonely kid sitting at home full of sadness with his music. you were my friend when i had no one. i will never forget you cudi.

Song needs to be recognized globally. 2K11 players having chills while listening to this song. So underrated.

A decade late- for those that are curious, Dan sampled extensively in this song taking from the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra's cover of the main theme of 1984's Starman which he then mixed with his previous single "HYPNTZ" which sampled the drum beat from Rihanna's "Umbrella" and used lyrics from The Notorious B.I.G's "Hypnotize" (Though those lyrics were later changed due to copyright issues). This song is an amalgamation of several decades of music, movies and media, and I for one love it.

I remember playing nba 2k11 for hours in the afternoon and evening during the whole summer 9 years before listening to this song. I was picking Miami Heat just for Dwyane Wade. Used to make him 99 overall and dominate all the teams. Making every shot with him, passing him the ball all the time. Same thing with Jordan in Chicago Bulls. And after playing that game I'd watch some KZfaq videos of him and then go to the park and play basketball with my friends. Shooting like DWade, pretending I'm him. Sometimes impersonating MJ. I was hoping I'll grow up one day and play in the NBA like them. Maybe dunk the rim too. We then, went to live somewhere else. 9 years later and after all these somehow, I'm finding myself here in the same room during the Covid 19 listening to this song. Of course I never made it. Never touched the rim. I can't describe how I'm feeling right now. Deja Vu? Nostalgia? Sadness? I don't know...

NBA 2K11 memories.. Will always be the best 2k in my opinion.

This song reminds me of one of my old friends. We discovered this video during our freshman year of college and we used to joke that I was Cudi and he was Dan. Now we barely even talk. It's crazy how you go from spending almost all of your free time with someone to not really taking to them anymore. This video always brings back memories.

I can't believe how many people have never been blessed with this beautiful song, this era of music was too good

My mom used to play this for me when I was about 5, now I’m 18 and I graduated in a month and half and I’ve been listening to this whole album for the last 2 weeks just reliving my childhood :)

NBA 2K11 Babyyy!!

Memories when this came out RIP MY COUSIN

I always wanna cry in start but when when he start with "Gimme Gimme Symphonies" a pain filled but pleasant smile always come to my face. Dont know why

This is bringing back memories of playing NBA 2k11 all night without a care in the world. Back when everything was simple. Oh how things change... I’m 23 now and things are changing too fast. I’m wishing everyone out there the best! Much love.

Why didn't this song blow up? It's the best pop song I've heard in the last decade!

When I was 11, I used to listen it on the radios but didn't know the name is this song. I searched this for 5 years. I cried so much when finally found :( Still crying btw

This song is still a go to when I need to cry. So beautiful. August 2024 still listening

A masterpiece even 13 years later

Dan black is so good idk how any of his songs aren't more recognized

Anyone still listening to this 2k11 banger in 2024?🎉❤

Wow. 2010. I was born 2005 and I turned 6 before this song came out but, I found it now I’m 12. I remembered crying hearing this song every time it came on because it reminded me of my grandpa (who passed away) so when I heard the song today my heart broke and I started crying. It still gets to me. A few years pass and it still gets me

Most underrated song ever cuz this song brings me happiness for some reason

Favorite memory from NBA 2k11

Wow this song brings back sooo many memories. Haha

2K11 folks know how special this song was back then. 😩 good ole days of just gaming and starting college for me.

Listening while on quarantine 🙌🏼

This song is great but the music vid is a master piece

Used to smoke before school with my best friend and bump this right after it dropped. RIP.

nostalgia man....damn

This song got me through some of the hardest times of my life- around the time this song came out as well as more recently. Thank you Scott, and thank you Dan.

Easy A reminds me of this song. Which I always play whenever I play 2k11... best beat ever!

get well soon cudi , loved you since 09'

Still feelin' this song to this day. Wish more people heard it.

This song was also slept on. Man, what a time to be alive. You literally just had to be there 😩

2k11 memories, that game, man...

Its already been almost 7 years since 2k11 was released but this still sounds fresh as heck

Used to cruise to this song with my ex. Young dumb and didn’t know we’d never talk again after a couple years. Simpler times. Wish I could go back to being that ignorant teenager I used to be. Ahh I never would’ve guessed I would’ve ended up how I did and where I did. But aye! “give me give me symphonies.” Love it man. Glad I came back to this song.

The music sampled in this song is originally from a very underrated movie from the 80's called starman... give it a watch. A classic and a really good movie.

throws me back in 2011, when I'm 13 years old scoring 150 points for New York Knicks in MyPlayer mode. DAMN. God bless cheat engine Mr Big Shot was All Star.

This is one of the coolest, most creative videos I've ever seen.

Vibes are immaculate. Senior year of high school, freshman year of college, first real girlfriend, NBA 2K11, my hometown….take me back.

no matter what you're going through this music makes everything easier

Senior year in HS memories flowing like crazy when this plays. What a gem

I'm listening to this in 2020, more than 10 years after it was released, and it's still one of my favorite songs of all-time.

My favorite song back in 8th grade. This song places me back there. Oh how I wish I could go back. Good memories.

One the songs that gives me the most euphoria.. but while high it’s just unexplainable especially cruising on a sunset.

The melody give me chills!!!!! Thanks everyone who shared this song with me on 2k11 ❤❤❤❤

Just started humming symphonies all up in my mind today and here I am 🥹 I guess listening to good music through my childhood was totally worth it! 😊

I’ve been searching for this song for years now. Glad I’ve seen it The nostalgia!

NBA 2K11, freshman year of high school. The memories, damn.

I cant believe I just found this song !! After 5 darn years...

Here we are in 2022 listening to this, heard it in 2K first, and stuck with me all these years

Still one of the coolest intro’s I’ve heard to a song. The first 25sec always blows me away.

Wish I can go back to 2011. No worries, no stress. Just gaming and enjoying life.

Best 2k ever created. So many memories. This song in general... nostalgic wow

So many memories with this song from my childhood🖤

It’s 2023 and 2k11 still has the BEST soundtrack 🔥🔥

This music video was wayyy ahead of its time

This music video is creative af But look at 1:10 he falls and dies wakes up with his girl and still says "give me more than the life I see" damn thats dark

Man you guys have no idea how long I e been trying to fish this song out of my memories. About 5 years to be exact and then I woke up after having a dream about one line in this song and it all unravelled from there and now I am content with life. Everything is okay now. I can now rest

Kid cudi saved my life

loading up 2k11 and this plays in the menu, majestic scenes

The 2010 movie Easy A introduced me to this song. Brought a tear to my eye when I listen to the whole song from start to finish once I learned the name of it.

Damn, Hearing this older is wild❤️. I was 13 years old when this came out, it’s gonna be my 26th this month.
