    LYRICS :
    [Verse 1:]
    Light As A Feather
    When I'm Floatin Through
    Readin Through The Daily News
    Measuring The Hurt Within The Golden Rule,
    Centimetres Of Ether I'm Heatin The Speaker
    Motivational Teacher With Words That Burn People
    Seeing The Headlines Lined With Discord
    It's Either Genocide, All The Planet In Uproar
    Never Good But Rules Of Paradise Are Never Nice
    The Best Laid Plan Of Mice And Men Are Never Right
    I'm Just A Vagabond With Flowers For Algernon
    The Average Joe Who Knows What The Fuck Is Goin On
    It's The Hope Of My Thoughts That I Travelled Upon
    Fly Like An Arrow Of God Until I'm Gone
    [Chorus:]
    So I'm Driftin Away Like A Feather In Air
    Lettin My Words Take Me Away From The Hurt And Despair
    So I'm Keepin It Vertical Forever Elevator
    Ridin The Escalator To The Somethin That Is Greater
    So I'm Driftin Away Like A Feather In Air
    Lettin My Soul Take Me Away From The Hurt And Despair
    So I'm Keepin It Vertical Forever Elevator
    Ridin The Escalator To The Somethin That Is Greater
    [Verse 2:]
    Taking Chances
    Word Tap Dancing With Wolves
    In An Ice Arena Out There, Deep In The Woods Of Arizona
    The Sun Be High, Life's Ironic
    Aint Tryin To Be Talib When I Write
    Surreal Life I Paint It Vivid Habitat Crazy Insane
    Watch The Propaganda 6 O'clock News That Are Saying
    Cultures Clash For Black Folk And White Trash
    They Revel In The Cyberspace That Might Crash
    Dash To Millineum A Million Miles Of Runnin
    At The Speed Of Now Back Don't Return Gunnin
    Rambo Style Gunho Child Gunnin
    Ammo Blao Two Times Loud Stunnin
    Stunnin When I Hit Ya Lift You Off The Earth Like
    Ayo Take You Right Back To Birth
    And Niggaz Wonder Why They Might Wonder Why
    This Shit Might Happen But It Does, They Go
    [Chorus:]
    Driftin Away Like A Feather In Air
    Lettin My Words Take Me Away From The Hurt And Despair
    So I'm Keepin It Vertical Forever Elevator
    Ridin The Escalator To The Somethin That Is Greater
    So I'm Driftin Away Like A Feather In Air
    Lettin My Soul Take Me Away From The Hurt And Despair
    So I'm Keepin It Vertical Forever Elevator
    Ridin The Escalator To The Somethin That Is Greater
    [Verse 3:]
    Treat You Better Than Me
    Because That's The Heavenly Key
    To Unlock The Inner Strength
    Where My Essence Will Be
    It's The Knowledge Of Self
    Understanding Of The Things Around Me
    That Becomes The Wisdom That I Need
    Living This Life To The Best Of My Ability
    Channelling Energy To My Thoughts Into Your Symmetry
    Remember Me Because My Clothes Remain Gold
    I Got The Gift Of Gab Like Them Pimps In Kangols
    It Never Ends I Keep It Rulin Like A Cypher
    The First Caveman Bringin Fire
    Innovating And Higher To Blast Mistakes I Raise The Stakes
    It's Double Or Nothing In This Vaccuum-Less Space
    I Will Survive,Divine The Time To Cry Fuck A Hold Or Hide I'm Alive With Pride
    And I Drove The Chevy To The Levy
    But The Levy Was Dry Singin "This Will Be The Day That I Die"

    The title and the lyrics of this song always remind me of my grandad. He died in 2019. When I was a kid of about 8 or 9, I used to sit on a stool by the window in my grandparents' home, while my granddad stood beside me with binoculars, spotting birds for me to look at by the baths he'd put out to attract them. He and I would just sit there for awhile, and bond while we'd watch the birds make nests, take baths, and play together. I live far from where he grew up, but to this day I keep little birdfeeders on my apartment windows, and when I see them take flight, I always think about him, and this song hits me because the lyrics are about taking flight and ascending higher, just like he did, and just like I one day will. At least he didn't have to watch Covid happen in his twilight years.

    Love that reference to "Of Mice & Men" and the comparison to how our best plans never work out. Just like George and Lenny were going to get a little place, live off the fat of the land and feed the rabbits. It all went south pretty quickly for them. The reference to "Flowers for Algernon" is another great one. The word play and lyrical content is masterful.

Thank God i listen to these artists that encourage me to become a better character instead of Mainstream bullshit.

    I'm honestly surprised that Nujabes didn't become a household name. His music was (and still is) catchy and memorable I know that many youtubers and musicians such as The Super Best Friends, Maxmoefoe, Joji (aka filthy frank) Sky (the league player) Dunkey (I think) and MMOxMXR ( I think that's how you spell it, that one mod review guy) use and like his work. But I would love for someone to make more music like this and pick up where he left off and popularize the style. Joji used to make the same kinda rainy day beat feel that I associated with Nujabes but he's sorta left that behind in order to focus on what his fans want (which is something I can respect) but I just really think that this style and feel could have a lot of untapped potential.

    I never realized how profound the effect of music could be on the human soul til I listened to Nujabes starting several years ago and in particular this song, which was my first. There were other factors, and as corny as it may sound, I credit his music as part of the reason I am alive today. His works helped bring me peace at difficult times. I wish he was alive today so I could thank him in some way, but I guess the least we can do now to honor his memory is listening to his music and telling others about it, which is why I am happy about jhope introducing new listeners, and I hope others feel the same as well.

Five years later, during Covid-19 quarantine, I watched Samurai Champloo for the first time and was reintroduced to Nujabes. I felt as if it was my first time discovering his music all over again. This time, in a different context. I will always be thankful that Nujabes' music has been such a key part of my journey into adulthood. Rest in peace, brother!
