    This song feels like a epiphany right before death: memories and nostalgia, realization, closure and bright and grand but also melancholic happines before resting in silence. It always makes me emotional

    At his show he said that the stacked melodies of this song are meant to represent the beauty of different cultures and nationalities living in harmony and I though that was pretty dang rad.

    I saw Kamasi Washington perform "Truth" LIVE at the Met in Philly as an opening act to Herbie Hancock. Without Question, one of the GREATEST performances I've EVER heard in my entire life. After "Truth" I was sold. Kamasi is coming back to Philly in May 2023 performing at the City Winery. Get your tickets NOW.
    Yours Truly,
    The Music Maestro♥️🎶🎙🎵🌹

    One of the few jazz composition that me, a post-rock/shoegaze listener, could relate and highly addicted to. This is not music, this is spiritual experience.

    I'm a 60 yo white guy from Europe - into your typical rock, jazz, classical - this has to be one of the best pieces ever put together. I had the fortune to live in Kenya back in the 70's - best, most beautiful place I've ever been in, with genuine people that taught me a lot as a young teenager. This reminds me of Osibisa, Santana, 70's rock, Miles Davis - music is such a powerful tool, enjoy the intensity while you can

    Truth is solitary. It is born of our individual experiences. As much as words, art, song...expression might convey meaning to others, it cannot express Truth. Yet, in spite of this, Truth can be shared. It is shared through love, compassion and kindness. It is in a shared embrace, a shared look, a shared laugh. Through sharing, my Truth, your Truth, their Truth becomes our Truth.

    Why they get rid of the music vid of this song? Because it was beautiful and the people who own UA-cam hate beauty. They're trying to destroy us but we're too strong. We trust our hearts to love and warmth.

      It's up again on Kamasi's yt channel I guess had to re edit due to copyright footage. It's still great.

    Outstanding! Jazz on the level of expertise and passion on par with the OLD SCHOOL Pioneers of the Craft! This is truly Jazz tapestry worthy of repetitive listening and sharing. I really like the cosmic notes & chords that resonate with the essence of the African Diaspora Experience Sound. Next Level art form from exceptionally talented artists. Blessings Family!
