    I discovered Nujabes in February. I'm Chilean and my family has this tradition where after you turn 15 everyone chips in to gift you a trip outside Chile with one of your respective parent (usually daughters with mothers and sons with fathers). Long story short my dad couldn't leave the country and though we weren't struggling financially, we were going through a low point at the time (now we're a lot better). So I didn't get the trip (I'm the youngest of 5 siblings so I was pretty bummed). Years passed and my dad kept going on about how he wanted to take me to San Francisco because that's where he and my mom went shortly after meeting and really fell in love, so in turn he loves the city. I turn 19 and to my surprise my gift is a trip along the west coast of the US! I could go on about the whole thing, but there was this one moment that will always stick with me. We were at Golden Gate Park (me and my dad) and this beautiful sunny day turns to the most heavy rain in the world. Seeking refuge we got into the first café we could find, just outside on of the entrances of the park. Once inside we order two BLTs (we were starving) and sit with our drinks. As I watch outside the window how it rained in the city, "Luv(sic) Part 2" kicks in, and my dad starts telling me how the whole experience this far (we were kinda at the end of the trip) was one of the best things in his life, because he did it with me. So we kept on talking, ended up having a very chill but emotional conversation while the rest of the record was playing. As we left, I ask the girl in the counter what was playing and she sends a link to the songs, songs that I have been playing non stop since I got back home.

    • @AstralMarmot
      @AstralMarmot 2 роки тому +229

      Thanks for saying this. Shing02 and Nujabes had one of those rare collaborations where you just know they were born to create together; but that sometimes means we conflate them and don't see the contributions of the individual. Not only is Shing02 still touring, he's an outspoken peace advocate and the kind of human you'd expect listening to his lyrics. If y'all love Nujabes, give love to his #1 partner in rhyme.

      Exactly, Nujabes established the hexalogy's thematic foundation through instrumental alone, and then Shing02's lyrics complemented that feeling by expressing it in a language humans can process more consciously

    @megadot said it best:
    "The first song is discovery.
    The second song is falling in love.
    The third is about taking all the bullshit out and live simple.
    The fourth song is about growing old together.
    The fifth is about loss and the hopefulness associated with it...
    And the final song is about meeting once again, in the afterlife.
    This is what life should be. Everyone is always yearning for love, luv sic. And here's hoping everyone gets theirs before the end."

      +TheTrueRoxas1 nope, it's about a beatboxer named jeff resureccion that Shing02 knew. jeff had recently passed away and shing wrote the lyrics about him. generally, the first half of the song is about Jeff, and the second half is about Nujabes because nujabes died in the middle of the writing process.

    I met this lovely guy online 2 years ago because we somehow had Nujabes as our common interest. He’s French and I’m Japanese but we both know a little English. Mainly we bonded over Nujabes, especially the Luvsic Hexalogy. When we first met, we were just listening to his songs while trying our best to communicate. It was hard but we had fun. We both learn more English and talked better. He asked me to be his girlfriend and been together ever since. It’s a LDR right now but we’re both looking forward to see each other again.

Now, I'm 20 years old, and his sound brings about this gentle and euphoric nostalgia that i can't even explain. I wake up every day thankful for the time that this man spent on earth, and his ability to create some of the most beautiful soundscapes I have ever heard.

    I wonder if Shing02 would get as much love from you guys. Like Nujabes was a master of his craft and deserves all the praise as well obviously but what keeps me coming back to these tracks are Shing02's beautiful lyrics more than anything. He is an amazing poet and is really great at painting the image which touches your heart. All the emotions I feel ranging from uplifting and carefree in first three parts to the lamenting ones in the last parts is due to how real and beautiful Shing02's lyrics are.

      I feel like shing02's lyricism is the perfect complement to nujabes' beats. Nujabes sets the mood with his masterful use of sampling and production. Shing02 then uses his lyrics to craft a story around that atmosphere. I love both nujabes and shing02 as individual artists, but luv sic wouldn't be what it is without both of them. Both of them deserve equal praise for creating this masterpiece.

    I came across pt.4 in a point in my life where i felt really hopeless, i was a senior in high school having to repeat all my math classes (i know tragic). while everyone was relaxing and getting ready for graduation i was showing up earlier and leaving later. Just when everything seemed lost i found out about Nujabes and his music along with Shing02 turned everything around for me. While everything was telling me to give up, only in music i found the words of encouragement and inspiration that i so desperately needed. By a miracle i made it, didn't go to prom or graduation but i left high school behind in 2017. The last time i rode the school bus home i played pt.4 on repeat all the way home it truly felt like a scene out of a movie. Here i am even in 2022 still going back to the music that push started the rest of my life forever grateful.

    There are so many comments about Nujabes. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Nujabes, but I come to this particular song cycle for Shing02's lyrics. There is just something about the realness of his raps- so artful and poetic. I really think that Nujabes and Shing02 were a musical match made in Heaven. Some argue that Shing02 wasn't a good enough rapper for this series, but I disagree. I really think that he felt the atmosphere Nujabes created and made it even better. Love it!

      I know I am a random Internet stranger whom you will more than likely never meet, however, your loss would be exponential. You are an individual, much like I. I myself have undergone circumstances that most would seem catastrophic, but yet I continue. We've both been at the end of the rope, but we hang on. Why? Because of love. Music. Art. Beauty. Losing you would be like losing a star that someone looks forward to seeing everyday. You can't take that away from someone. I've never met you, but I love you.

    11 years ago a schoolmate told me about Nujabes, who sadly passed away just a few months earlier... Luv(sic) was his first song I listened to and I fell in love immediately.
    I remember feeling incredibly sad that I wouldn't be able to hear new releases of Nujabes, but over the years I discovered so many more songs, remixes, pieces inspired by his work and I realized his legacy will never die!
    The same schoolmate also told me about MF DOOM, who tragically passed away recently as well....
    May those legends live forever through their music!

    I always believe that Nujabes worked with more "talented" rappers with sicker flows etc.
    But for me shing02 will always be the BEST rapper he's worked with because of his pen. I find his lyrics more relatable and some
    even stuck by me till this day.

    As a depressed person this makes me feel really peaceful, like everything's going to be alright and things aren't that bad after all. Even if most of these songs are melancholic, it's a hopeful sadness in a way. What separates Nujabes for me from other artists is that an artist's work makes you feel happy, sad, inspirational etc. but I hardly got that specific ONE feeling I always get with Nujabes, it's hard to capture into words. And it hurts to know that he had to go that early, even though we only know him through his music, he's like a 'imaginary, fictional' person in my life, but still the deep connection to him is there, I sometimes wonder how he was as a person...I don't even know what my point is, I just need to get my thoughts down as I listen to this.

    5 years ago I listened to this a couple times a day, often while daydreaming about a girl I liked. We talked here and there but nothing major. Maybe a year and a half later I finally got the courage to ask her out. I was surprised when she said yes, and we ended up meeting at a nearby park to walk and talk. I brought my guitar and sang a couple songs, which she really enjoyed. We hit it off from there, basically talking almost everyday.
    Yesterday she ended the relationship. Wasn't an argument or anything, but she felt it would be best for both of us long term if we went our separate ways. We talked it through in person and both agreed to block the other's phone so as not to try and go back on the decision when inevitably feeling low. Probably the most positive and healthy way to close the chapter. Damn if it doesn't hurt though. My mind keeps going back to all the awesome moments we shared together and all the tough times she helped me through. I feel empty knowing I won't ever see her again. It's hard for me to eat, sleep, even breathe.
    Coming back to this mix years later I can really appreciate parts 5 and 6 more than ever. I don't know how long it'll take to get through this slump but at least with friends and good music I can make it through today.

    -part 1
    [Verse 1: Shing02]
    Lovesick like a dog with canine sensitivity
    Developing this new theory of relativity
    Connecting our souls resting in captivity
    Positive life sacrifice what it is to me
    Our history, only a quarter of a century
    Reality, sitting on the shoulders of our chemistry
    See ain't no mystery, the colors that we mix will set the mind free
    Let the blind see beyond harmony!
    Breathe life into dead space blow away clouds of doubt
    New territory we determine to be
    Everything a safe haven it's supposed to be
    Now it might seem distant but the time is near
    When our thoughts take off and split the atmosphere
    Pure sound wave travel semi-infinitely
    Plus I'll see you there utmost definitely
    [Hook]
    Cause the beat plus the melody
    Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
    Cause your beat plus the melody
    Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
    [Verse 2: Shing02]
    Good gracious, every process has a genesis and ends with a revelation
    God bless this opportunity for me to find a voice
    For some words that have waited for way too long
    Low wages, Small tips on the avenue
    Never wasted, all hits for a revenue
    Haven't you heard the news lately?
    Seems we've been living for some time in a purgatory
    But yo, I thought I knew what a love song sound like
    But I felt a warmer tune in the sunlight
    I could still hear it in my room past midnight
    Gotta move, take a solo cruise in the moon light
    Sometimes I do forget, Oh how much we could ease the lives we lead
    If we learn to let go, the reins that we hold
    Return to our souls, and the spirit let flow
    So you see, upon everyday faced there's a million shades to
    Express definition of grace
    But the method I choose my prerogative
    There's so much love in me I got to give
    [Hook]
    [Verse 3: Shing02]
    Oh how I could write a book on how you make me feel
    But how about this song that I wrote for you?
    What I feel like...I wanna put my trusts in these simple words
    For you to feel what I'm saying, what you feel like?
    Reminisce about the little episodes that we shared together
    Remember the time that you told me
    In the cold night, to relax when all I knew was to hold tight
    Remember the time that I spoke to the crowd in a full house and
    Realizes that you was my ace?
    I was the joker on the stage singing the blues
    All eyes on me and had nothing to prove
    But yo, I thought I knew what a diamond shine like
    But I felt a sharper love in the limelight
    From the queen of hearts watching me quietly from the upper deck balcony
    Sometimes I do suspect, I'm an actor in a well-scripted live divine comedy
    When I look back, that frozen slice of time and try to defrost the senses lost
    Now enough with the metaphors, the motivation that I wrote this letter for
    For you to know that the music helps carry on
    Like you say a new day will bring us tomorrow...
    [Hook: x2]
    Cause my beat plus your melody
    Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
    Cause your beat plus the melody
    Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
    Cause your beat plus my melody
    Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
    Cause your beat plus the melody
    Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently

    [Verse 1: Shing02]
    Once again, now where do I start, dear love
    Dumb struck with the pure luck to find you here
    Every morn' I awake from a cavernous night
    Sometimes still pondering the previous plight
    Seems life done changed long time no speak
    Nowadays I often forget the day of the week
    Taking it by stride if you know what I mean
    No harm done, no offense taken by me
    So let's rap, we'll catch up to par, what's the haps? Perhaps we're even closer
    Now after, all things considered on this side of the planet
    Couldn't pick a better time even if we planned it
    To come clean and candid if I have to
    Oh what I wouldn't trade for your laughter
    Sweet and sour spice in my poetry pot melting
    Even better than the real thing
    It's like the God in me saw the devil in you
    I wanted to break myself in the worst way when I met you
    Who would have thought, conversate by the river, celebrate birth
    Sit and delivered the lines that would prove to be the seeds of trust
    Unsigned, yeah but destined to grow with sunshine
    Self-assigned task piled on the desk of good works
    Knowing hardship appreciate the best of both worlds
    Chorus
    C'est la vie, as they say L-O-V-E evidently, see every song has a sequel
    Never same, everything but the name, all fresh just like back then, how we do everyday
    C'est la vie, as they say L-O-V-E eloquently, see every dream has a part two
    Never same, you got to keep it tight, always just like back then, now hear me out
    [Verse 2: Shing02]
    Once together, now where do we go, dear divine
    I pray that you keep watching over us
    From the heavens where light is the nucleus
    To this space filled with darkness and negative matter
    Anti-gravity pull is what I would rather, feel when I leave this shell eventually
    Ties to the mother earth ground me mentally
    Real vibes will keep me alive spiritually
    Imagination brings bliss at no cost, when I blink blink I receive at no loss
    Victory comes in small packages like a leaf of an olive tree brought back by a dove
    From above, then I'm gonna rhyme love
    Well you saw that one coming ever since the beginning of the end
    Well anyways, I am not a perfect being, yes I am, a man full of S-I-N
    It's like the devil in me saw the God in you
    You epitomize the etymology of enthusiasm
    Look it, up there lies the clouds that form the rain
    That came from the ocean that flowed from the river
    I'm a believer, firm with the first words, lyrical transceiver of our ancient roots
    Science plus Arts multiplied by Faith then divided by the number of our ethnic race
    Let me mention what I've been thinking
    How to save the children, when the ship is sinking
    So I'm singing, no lip syncing to slogans
    Political hooligans with tanks, missiles and guns
    Everything is relative when it's all in the family of man
    Understand the time has finally come to realize the great power of one
    All formulas equalize under the Sun, amen
    [Bridge]
    The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music
    In times of need I won't be leaving you sick
    The beat plus the melody's the recipe
    Your vibe surely brings out the best in me
    The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music
    In times of need I won't be leaving you sick
    The beat plus the melody's the recipe
    All good souls lost may they rest in peace
    [Bridge]
    The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music
    In times of need I won't be leaving you sick
    The beat plus the melody's the recipe
    Your vibe surely brings out the best in me
    The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music
    In times of need I won't be leaving you sick
    The beat plus the melody's the recipe
    Hip-hop world wide we got to live in peace, like that

    [Hook: Shing02 (x2)]
    It's funny how the music put times in perspective
    Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it
    Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far
    Wherever you are
    [Verse 1: Shing02]
    Like a movie that you can't predict
    Like a book that you can't resist
    I sing along a song that's oh so sensual
    Bring along a sip to make it all so sexual
    Verbally that is, making love to the music means vibing to the beat at night
    With the whole city fast asleep, out cold
    True words seem to rise to the lips, take hold
    Of a poet in me, most powerfully
    I feel free when the world doesn't owe it to me
    It's so hard to find a gig that lives up to the billing
    Trying to find a reason to work, god willing
    I admit, my thinking is wishful
    Like a star upon a child gazing up to the ceiling
    How far do we have to stretch the truth
    To fit the lifestyles borrowed and overdue?
    We can take it all back to the register
    And start all over from the canister
    Let's break it all down into pieces of bright
    Moments that pass by like a meteorite
    Throw on your favorite reel that's good to go
    On the analog player watch the people glow
    Sit back to the breeze let the memories flow
    Comedy tragedy all the highs and lows
    [Hook]
    [Verse 2: Shing02]
    Like your moves that I can't predict
    Like your look that I can't resist
    The ting-a-ling feeling was oh so mutual
    The lingering appeal was so unusual
    Herbally what is, medicine to a lone soul can become poison to some
    With the whole body fast asleep, out cold
    True vision seem to come to the eye, take hold
    Of a prophet in me most visibly
    I see clear when the world doesn't show it to me
    It's so hard to make sense in a cycle of billing
    Trying to find a reason to quit and make a killing
    I admit, our dealing is painful
    Like a star upon a child staring down from the ceiling
    How far do we have to stretch the picture
    Before pixelating the human texture?
    We can take it all back to the register
    And start all over from the canister
    Let's save it all up for an ultimate prize
    Homecoming gathering with a big surprise
    Throw on your favorite record that's good to go
    On the analog table and it's hooked to blow
    Sit back with ease and hear the emcee flow
    Hi hat kick drum all the highs and lows
    [Hook]
    [Verse 3: Shing02]
    Um, third time's the charm, hopefully
    When I chime on your door you'd still let me in
    After all these years
    The room that you caved in my heart is exactly the same as you left it
    I realize that you have moved on
    New styles and cliques like them silent flicks
    I'm speechless in this golden occasion
    The beautiful expression on the silver creation
    This time I'd like to keep in touch
    I'm a little bit wiser, a whole lot tougher
    If I suffer through another nightmare tonight
    We'll chalk it up as another chapter to write, all right?
    Or wrong or somewhere down the middle of the road
    I wanna see you again in a scene with the backdrop a perfect ten
    And the music can take us back to the spot right then
    From black and white to a sepia tone
    Some dreams come with a tint or in monochrome
    From black and white to my skin tone
    Some dreams have a stint on the microphone
    [Hook]
    [Verse 4: Shing02]
    Okay we can take it all back to the register
    And start all over from the canister
    Let's break it all down into pieces of bright
    Moments that pass by like a meteorite
    Throw on your favorite jacket and you're good to roll
    On the analog trail and you look the role
    Just stroll through the trees and let your miseries go
    Sunshine hurricane all the highs and lows
    We can take it all back to the register
    And start all over from the canister
    Let's break it all down into pieces of bright
    Moments that pass by like a meteorite

    Snow flakes in January
    Heart warm like February
    I wouldn't ordinarily
    March to the drum, play a fool like April
    May the best dance in a Juno bridal
    Power of the will, Julius and Augustus
    Aw you know, it's just us
    In a new semester, back in September
    Boy, I wonder if you still remember
    [Verse 1: shing02]
    Meet me half way from mars to venus
    Beep beep, the chase is on between us
    Retweet the sweetest piece of confection
    Hand made device for remote connection
    Ask a question
    Wait for an answer and make a suggestion
    A time and a place for a first impression
    Second and third to a fourth dimension
    Rise above the weights that hold us captive
    To a square, swear that I, I the captain to
    Cruise in sci-fi, red sky burn like sapphire
    A moth to a fire, but we can fly higher
    Till we reach an apex
    We fit tight like a glove with the latex
    Bring it down to earth for a cooling session
    Laying sideways and glazed in essence
    Gazed each other in the eye to find galaxies of
    Uncharted nebulas
    Heard joy over spilled milk on a quilt, of lavender
    Woven in the fabric of our calendar
    Dress up at the end of October
    Give thanks to the fam in November
    A cold but cozy December
    And we're back to the origin, so let me begin
    [Hook]
    [Verse 2: shing02]
    When you took my hand, I couldn't hide it
    Way too delighted
    Tried to ride it cool but obliged to write it
    Wouldn't fight it, how my watch paused
    When I put my lips on your eyelids
    The lost second, deposit in a memory bank
    Every chance I pocketed a cent
    A blank check with ya signature
    Font sans serif, the curvature, a lone harbinger
    With toys play coy like fish in a pond
    Fond words serve poems like dish
    Life is short like a doggone leash
    Or a fuse in an open circuitry
    That got struck by lightning
    Hang a painting on the wall over the writing
    Brighten up the room for a private dining
    Increase the peace and cease the anxiety
    Spread love and cc: the whole society
    You got me shooting off on a tangent
    Like I always do when I'm on the fringe
    And the tally of the letters will reach
    The valley where the wings will seek
    A series so classic at the top of October
    Give thanks to the fam in November
    A cold but cozy December
    And we're back to the origin, so let me begin

    Till death do us apart, and it did
    Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun
    My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead
    On our lives we nourished
    And the days we cherished as kids
    We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind
    Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
    Your smile is the only thing that shines
    In your last breath you told me, that you had to go
    Cause it pained you so
    Oh I loved you so much so
    Was I selfish to hold on
    And cling on to your body that hosts a soul
    That wanted to set free the eagle in a cage
    And you became eagerly what I wanted to be
    You the person to leave, I the person
    To see off another best friend to land's end
    I watched grown men moan, and women weep
    As you quietly descended six feet deep
    But the spirit ascended before our wet eyes
    A gift from god, returned to sender
    Though I like to pretend that this never happened
    I can turn around and see you laughing
    But the fact is you could never practice
    Getting blind-sided and eating the wind shield
    Endless field of shards of glass
    This too shall pass, but reality bites, it says not so fast
    First you must climb a calvary of shattered hopes
    And then a mountain of prayers unheard
    'till you reach that peak where you can see the dark abyss below
    Then you let me know if you have what it takes for a leap of faith
    I had to say, hell no, heaven yes, but not yet
    Please bless a forehead, cold in a bed
    Or alone on the road with nobody to hold
    When the pouring rain is too much to bear
    It's a reason to live for a seed that needs care
    Till death do us apart and it did
    Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun
    My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead
    On our lives we nourished
    And the days we cherished as kids
    We let it whizz on by, but when I rewind
    Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
    Your smile is the only thing that shines
    Now I hit this stage in honor of you
    How's the other side, I bet it's a splendid view
    No more stress for rent, or to make ends
    Collide in a cocktail, shame with envy
    I can hide behind lens that block the UV
    Looking in from the outside the bowl is murky
    The toll for the bridge is rising
    Weatherman says storm, city hall is burning
    Same ol' chaos, gotta shut my cell like I'm waiting to take off
    On the runway, scoping out the window
    The moisture covers the sight though
    Telling myself it's just another day in the life of a starving artist
    Trying to paint a dream you woke from
    Chasing the departed
    We used to hang by the banks to see who can skip a stone the farthest
    What I thought was a stream is now an ocean
    No such thing as an extreme to show devotion
    To your craft, which I didn't know the half
    Tried to knock down your door and caught the backdraft
    And a whiplash, all in reverse
    Then I finally stood up and said, we reserve the right to serve anyone
    And on the same note you deserve the best of the most fun
    By the way I got your letter, you said you were fed up
    Well I second that and I reckon that you tried
    So I don't place a blame that you took the fifth
    And the first flight out of town, into the mist
    Till death do us apart and it did
    Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun
    Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead
    On our lives we nourished
    And the days we cherished as kids
    We let 'em whizz on by, but when I rewind
    Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
    Your smile is the only thing that shines
    Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
    Your smile is the only thing that shines
    Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries
    Or a random hand picks it instantly
    Life is art, a miracle for all to see
    I must tell you that you lived beautifully

    -part 6
    I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world
    Now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl
    Her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup
    Whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone
    I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth
    But the stones turned precious when they all came out
    On a string of deep thought that could never be bought
    Body rock don’t stop, be bop to hip hop
    Cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor
    What was left a shoestring budget on call
    Then these new styles came along
    Some on to the next on some other hit, their own trip
    Colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds, dated
    Make you feel old and jaded
    The point was to make it and we made it but
    We didn’t know how to keep it
    Like nice kicks. that wouldn’t fit
    Only way was to box it up and duct tape it up
    Store it underneath the bed and open it up
    Once in a blue moon
    Think about a cool ending
    To a story that ended too soon
    Gotta bring back the feeling
    I’ll do anything not to be stuck on fiending
    A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient
    To an open heart, it’s a daily operation
    After six come seven and eight
    Access code to the pearly gates
    They say heaven can wait
    And you speak of fate
    A finale to a play for my mate
    I see the angels draw the drapes
    Over the earthscape
    Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
    Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape
    As our records will stay on rotate
    You say a circle is a flawless shape
    Every part equi-distance from the center
    On the arc without a start or a finish
    A line on a loop carries weight
    A freight train runs unabated
    Views vanish from my point vantage
    Passages come in and out
    The way I recall your antics (how I remember your antics)
    Still alive ’cause I said it
    A life of its own unless we dead it
    Till they see our name in credits
    A labor of love you mean slavery
    Surely, it’s been quite savory
    Crepe on the balcony, verbal alchemy
    Pure magic when she touches me
    I read that love is kind but it’s also blind of any style
    You profess, would you be my guest (you could be my guest)
    Happiness is a hot potato that you can’t possess for long
    Just pass it on like asong
    And I might look calm and collected at a glance
    But I taste the void when I’m not connected
    To the world kinetic, as opposed to static
    Idle hands a workshop of a digital addict (a modern-day addict)
    On a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed
    The mind in need of stimulation
    Elevator music to the space station
    Penthouse of stars a-blazing
    After six come seven and eight
    Access code to the pearly gates
    They say heaven can wait
    And you speak of fate
    A finale to a play for my mate
    I see the angels draw the drapes
    Over the earthscape
    Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
    Gotta finish what we started, so I cut this tape
    As our records will stay on rotate

    Today’s my birthday and I somehow got forgotten by everyone. I almost cried realizing how shit my life is and how the past year was terrible.
    It is pretty funny that I find this video randomly. It almost feels like it’s a birthday gift and a pretty amazing one. It’s not just something that is good to listen, it helps me feeling so much better, so much lighter and really makes my vision of life a little less dire and sad.
    Thank you so much Nujabes, your arts will hopefully give me the strength to break the barriers that my fears have built with time and makes me enjoy life like I really want to.
    And big thumbs up to this community, just reading the comments show how amazing everyone is.

I saw the anime for a second time a few days ago and i can say that i felt what i had to feel. It was amazing, i needed to listen more from this artist knowing that i'll can't help but get obsessed with his music. Today i found out he's been dead for almost 12 years. So this is how it feels a broken heart.

    It's so hard reading Nujabes comments without getting choked up. There's at least once a year when I go through major Nujabes phases, and it's always comforting seeing how it's not just me impacted by his music. Such good vibes.

    *I thought I knew what a diamond shine like, but I felt a sharper love in the limelight*
    *Its like the god in me saw the devil in you, I wanted to break myself in the worst way when I met you*

I walked through my city in afternoons when the sun would start to set and listened to this music. Thinking back on these nice memories just walking around makes me wanna cry because I felt so happy back then. It makes me wanna cry of happiness in a good way. Thank you so much for making this music it will have a special place in my heart and mind and I'll remember it till I die.

      Its just a reminder that that happiness still lives inside you somewhere, maybe there's just stuff blocking or distracting you from it, I've been pretty depressed lately too but I can still remember when I used to be happier just like you do, it should be enough to keep on going since we know that that version of ourselves exists in us somewhere, It wouldn't make sense that we were somehow doomed to be unhappy forever, so that should mean that this is temporary, we'll get there eventually but stronger and more emotionally experienced after all the things that depression have taught us
      We are doing our best and thats all that matters, "keep walking and we can get far, wherever you are"

    To all of you who have returned to appreciate Shing and Seba's work, I hope whatever youre going through is resolved or in the process, and remember the line "wherever you are keep walking and you can get far".

  • @kira10xp
    @kira10xp Рік тому +20

    Luv(sic) Part 6
    I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world
    Now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl
    Her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup
    Whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone
    I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth
    But the stones turned precious when they all came out
    On a string of deep thought that could never be bought
    Body rock don't stop, be bop to hip hop
    Cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor,
    What was left a shoestring budget on call
    Then these new styles came along
    Some on to the next on some other hit, their own trip
    Colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds, dated
    Make you feel old and jaded
    The goal was to make it and we made it but
    We didn't know how to keep it
    Like nice kicks. that wouldn't fit
    Only way was to box it up and duct tape it up
    Store it underneath the bed and open it up
    Once in a blue moon,
    Think about a cool ending
    To a story that ended too soon
    Gotta bring back the feeling
    I'll do anything not to be stuck on fiending
    A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient
    To an open heart, it's a daily operation
    After six come seven and eight
    Access code to the pearly gates
    They say heaven can wait
    And you speak of fate
    A finale to a play for my mate
    I see the angels draw the drapes
    Over the earthscape
    Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
    Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape
    As our records will stay on rotate
    You say a circle is a flawless shape
    Every part equi-distance from the center
    On the arc without a start or a finish
    A line on a loop carries weight
    A freight train runs unabated
    Views vanish from my point vantage,
    Passages come in and out
    The way I recall your antics (how I remember your antics)
    Still alive cause I said it
    A life of its own unless we dead it
    Till they see our name in credits
    A labor of love you mean slavery
    Surely, it's been quite savory
    Crepe on the balcony, verbal alchemy
    Pure magic when she touches me
    I read that love is kind but it's also blind of any style
    You profess, would you be my guest (you could be my guest)
    Happiness is a hot potato that you can't possess for long
    Just pass it on like a song
    And I might look calm and collected at a glance
    But I taste the void when I'm not connected
    To the world kinetic, as opposed to static
    Idle hands a workshop of a digital addict (a modern-day addict)
    On a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed
    The mind in need of stimulation
    Elevator music to the space station
    Penthouse of stars a-blazing
    After six come seven and eight
    Access code to the pearly gates
    They say heaven can wait
    And you speak of fate
    A finale to a play for my mate
    I see the angels draw the drapes
    Over the earthscape
    Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
    Gotta finish what we started, so I cut this tape
    As our records will stay on rotate
