    Man I can’t believe this news. Came back to this one as it was my first time hearing Shaun and it was powerful. Heard him many times live since and his presence was huge musically and otherwise. Rest well Shaun ❤

      This song is the gold standard for me as a Snarky Puppy fan. Shaun's work on the Hammond is brought a little more forward in this remix which makes me very happy. May he live in the clouds and think of him when it rains as it is angels listening to him play and shedding tears of enjoyment.

    If you're here watching this music video in 2024, we all know why. I have always got chills from this song, now even more knowing I will never hear a new Shaun Martin solo like this again. At least we have these videos and albums Shaun helped create to remember him by. Don't forget to appreciate his solo music as well. My favorite tune of his is The Yellow Jacket. RIP Shaun. You will be deeply missed by so many people.

    • @blackqueen67

    Good to see this video back up again. I have a large library of Snarky Puppy music but always enjoy watching this well shot video to see the sheer enjoyment and excitement of the musicians as they feel this track builds and soars. The look on Mike League's face as everything comes together towards the end is priceless. Can't wait for more fresh tunes and your return to Toronto someday. Enjoyed all your shows here so far.

    This remix is better than the album version in my opinion. The organ solo on the album is so low in the mix that you can barely tell there's a solo happening at all. I'm sure that's one of the reasons they remixed it. Great song, and really love the guitar melodies at the beginning - so smooth and soulful!

    Highlights of the remix, where there is up-volume on the instruments: (1) 5:44 is the winner, really - that out chord is effing magic. (2) Shaun's high hold note at 5:55 was cool (missing in the original mix) and (3) boosting the sax at the end (starting 6:23) when the original mix favored the trumpet.
