My name is Nick Fraser, but you may know me from

I feel like I'm about to tell a story like from a book.

I was driving to 711 to get some donuts and gummy bears,

we shout out to 711, they got the best gummy bears,

And as I was driving, I had the Bluetooth on my iPhone

connected to the car, and then comes on "Too Close" by Next.

So when the song starts to play, you know,

- [Man Off Camera] It's not "crying" it's "grinding."

nobody told me this whole time, I'm saying "crying."

You should actually leave that in, can we put that in?

So I'm driving, I'm singing, I'm singing, I'm singing.

I just heard myself saying lying instead of anything else.

there's this kid that I went to high school where, you know,

but this is a kid I'm with the high school with that,

cars, clothes that people knew he didn't have.

Like, he just kept lying just to form conversation with us.

you don't have to lie, bro, you was cool enough.

kind of like, those memories just triggered in my head,

I did all of that in the car while I was driving.

So I'm driving as if this is a song that's already out.

So as I'm doing that, I'm like, oh yeah, it's over.

The next day I woke up early and got a haircut.

I got the part in my head, which I don't have right now,

came back home, and then I was looking through my closet

And he was never able to wear that shirt again

you know, like in those old 90s R&B videos

where it's just like a bop, it just took over my body.

and it didn't work when we installed it into the house.

So we just put it outside and left it on the side,

probably for a few months before I did what I did with it.

And then ever since it just stayed there,

I just realized this is a historical artifact,

I sat in the darkness for about two hours, maybe,

So once I put it out, I left my phone alone, you know.

The next day my notifications were going so crazy from Vine

And then everything just starts circling the news,

on Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook, Guardian,

everywhere you could possibly think of, it was on it.

And as I'm scrolling through my Instagram,

I'm just like, wait, whoa, what's going on right now?

There was a lot of people like, wow, "This is me."

They were tagging certain people, "This is you."

It didn't really hit me until somebody sent me a video of it

but I didn't think that it would hit the way that it did,

and influence people the way that it did.

I actually did meet the original creators, Next.

I was on an episode of Uncommon Sense by Charlemagne.
