Genius - Mike Posner on Virginia Woolf, Misunderstood Lyrics, and Being Buried in Detroit lyrics

Mike Posner may have penned hit's for some
Of the biggest pop acts around
(including Maroon 5 and Justin Bieber)
With a couple of
Chart-toppers of his own but
The singer, songwriter, and producer
Will never forget where he came
From posner writes in
An annotation on his track
"Buried in Detroit, "
"Now I feel at home when I come to my
Home in LA for a long time I
Didn’t but I know that I won’t be buried
Here when I die i’ll be In Detroit
Mother fucker" in his annotations
Posner candidly outlines the ups
And downs of success
In an annotation for "Be As
You Are" he writes

"My mom and I had this moment…she I
Think rode on the tour bus with
Me for a day and just saw how
Overwhelmed I was with my success
But also the amount of work I was
Doing i remember we just had this
Moment in the back of the tour
Bus where we both started crying
And I will never forget that
It was a tough time" of course
Posner enjoys performing for a
Reason poster annotates
On "I Took a Pill in Ibiza"

"I don’t feel alone on the stage i
Feel connected people come to the gig
And they give me silence and then give
Me an open mind they trust
And they pay money because
They are operating under
The assumption that I know how to turn
That silence and that open
Mind into something beautiful
Or elicit some sort of emotional response"
