It was a warm summer day in the year of 2019, me and one of my closest friends were driving down past my state's border line on a long car ride with the windows cracked. He was trying to cheer me up after the volatile end of a long-term relationship of mine. We were listening to a playlist comprised of his favorite songs on shuffle when this song caught me off guard. See now I was familiar with Tyler since the release of Wolf, but never paid much attention until then. After this song piqued my interest, I gave the whole album a good listen and I need to say, IGOR has helped me process the whole situation at its full emotional intensity. 'Are We Still Friends?' in particular has accompanied me in a few long nights of anguish as I had to come to grasp with the reality of the situation after a dizzying conclusion that ultimately ended in a massive loss for my heart. I have now come to fully appreciate Tyler's artistry, given his discography a full listen, and have this album to thank for helping me through a tough period in my life.
I agree that fucking Tyler's music and Tyler himself are underrated as hell, main reason being is coz these sheep niggas following trends whereas Tyler is his godamn self and always has been.
tyler did a really good job capturing the element of hiding pain in this song maybe it's just me, but in this song it sounds like the feeling of masking your pain with the illusion of being happy the part where he starts singing into the mic, and then gradually starts to scream really hits different like he just had enough of holding it all in
i’ve always liked the slowed and reverbed versions of songs because it feels like i’m listening to it for the very first time again. it feels like a warm memory of when i experienced this masterpiece when it was a fresh new thing that i could love and be moved by. not many albums like this one and these versions of the songs let me relive it like it was new.
I feel so alone and sad. I've always been here for my bestfriend and so does she. Now everything is so different. Back in time we were always together she was like my sister and I had the impression that she'll always be here for me. We were laughing so much that we were falling, and that everyday, everytime of the year. She made me feel alive. Each weekend we were going with our bikes in the city, we were riding it like it was the last time. We were running in the fields while screaming we loved each other, she was like my sister and the half of my heart she was all my life, the only reason who kept me alive. We met when I was ready to end my life, and she saved me, she was the first person who loved me for who I really was, and because of her I gain confidence and now I am who I am. One night at the skate park we were looking at the stars, and we promised to each other that we will be that close forever. I remember that time like it was yesterday, we had dust in our hair and we were running while pushing each over to remove it... We were laughing so hard... Every time it rained we were going to the park of our city, we were laying on the wet floor and talking about who shitty our life life were. But I knew inside me, my life was great because she were in it ... Now everything is so different, it isn't the same anymore. We are in different high school and she consider the persons she met 2 weeks ago like she considered me... She isn't the same person now. She isn't the one that made me laugh, she isn't the one who cared, she isn't the one who loved me. She is so distant with me. And inside my heart, I don't want to admit it but I clearly now that I love her more than she does. I could litteraly give my life for this girl, and she can't even give me a little of affection. I take my time to see her to be with her, but she don't want to be with me anymore. She didn't said that but i can read it on her face when she see me. I am not her best friend anymore, now I am like others. Maybe i am just memories. But for me she will always be the most important girl I've ever met. So no we aren't friends anymore, and a piece of my heart is gone... I hope one day I will meet someone who care of me like I care of her. I don't even now why I am exposing my life and no one will read that but i needed to !
Life is short. . . Don't waste your time because once you look back you know you wasted your time and you hate yourself one day you will find someone and that someone will love you and you'll love them for what they love and that is True Love. :)
@dwats3 fuck that nigga he wasnt shit lmaooooo iknow its hard rn and you keep thinking bout that person but i promise its gonna go away especially when you find someone better
@dwats3 happy it got better for you :) in a year you will think “what was i worrying about” lol. there are so many ppl on this earth that are so much better than that person so start loving yourself first and they will naturally attract to you.

It hurts more when ur friend is drifting apart and ignoring u bc they're in a relationship now, and u tried talking and texting them but they leave you with short replies :(
This song gives me butterflies in my back and makes my stomach tickle and also makes me think abt people who i fell in love with on accident and never saw them again, also makes me wanna quit life, from how hard it is and whats going on. Just me? Ok lol
Once this song is slow down it literally sounds like a song from the 70s that takes inspiration from songs from the 50s. But Tyler been on that.
The original song titled "dream' came out in 1944, sounded ahead of it's time to me

@bacarra kris al green:)
The Gump al green was born in 1946 tho, dream didn’t come out till ‘77

Good on you man...i hope ur still doing good👌🏾
@@djlewis3379 I appreciate it, my man. Things have been holding steady. I appreciate your kind words. :)
IGOR was quintessential in my post-breakup heartbreak recovery that anguished me for a very long time. It's a masterpiece in my mind.
This song will really hit you harder than you expect it to.
everytime
i feel like this song is stupid underrated... might just be me tho
nah most people agree that this is a classic
Nakano Yuko Jr nice
I agree that fucking Tyler's music and Tyler himself are underrated as hell, main reason being is coz these sheep niggas following trends whereas Tyler is his godamn self and always has been.
Nah you’re right. This is easily the best off of the album and I think his second best song he’s ever made
The Gobbit i agree about best on the album o.o
nah i can’t, i don’t wanna end the season on a bad episode
Announcing our things, and you don't know how to inform
this line has always stuck with me. something about it, it makes sense. it hits.
Nigga no
smell u laaatterr
Nigga nah
the way i was expecting tylers normal voice and then realised
*the original is already his normal voice*
exactly
LENSNSB YEAH
The original is slightly pitched up, but it’s impressive how little it is!
tyler did a really good job capturing the element of hiding pain in this song
maybe it's just me, but in this song it sounds like the feeling of masking your pain with the illusion of being happy
the part where he starts singing into the mic, and then gradually starts to scream really hits different
like he just had enough of holding it all in
i’ve always liked the slowed and reverbed versions of songs because it feels like i’m listening to it for the very first time again. it feels like a warm memory of when i experienced this masterpiece when it was a fresh new thing that i could love and be moved by. not many albums like this one and these versions of the songs let me relive it like it was new.
If Tyler’s voice was pitched higher this would be utter perfection
Listen to the un-slowed song and it is
@@summer2483 they mean at the slow speed but the original pitch
@@unclemonkeyy oh I def didn’t get that thank you :)
Nah, listening to it slowed at this pitch, makes it hit so much harder
2:58 just putting a personal button here, move along
the part that makes my heart burst😖
Shit thats actually a good idea haha i'm taking notes
I'm liking so you can't lose it
ㅤ
3:06 This part give me the vibes when u finally make eye contact with someone u like
"dont say goodbye
smell you later" IM CRYING SO HARD RN
LITERALLY EVERYTIME
Do one I’m gone, gone/ thank you
Wolf Haley it dropped and it’s AMAZING
What's up Wolf...I'm Tyler
Whats up Wolf, Tyler... I’m Milan Haley
whats up wolf, tyler, milan... im janel!
Sup wolf, tyler, milan, janel...I'm sherry;)...r we still friends?
4:45 i get chills in this part idk why tehe
some people hate the scream, but tbh i think there was no better way to end the album than how tyler did it.
space girl erykah exactly
Tehehe
I got chills on every second, my skin felt weird as hell after this 🤣🤣🤣
Bc you can feel pain in his voice
3:00 is the best part of this and I love this a lot
you have the truth, btw what's that green thing?
i’ve never cried because a song was just so beautiful until this
this is one of if not my favorite songs on igor and the " don't say goodbye smell you later " hits hard
Man I'm so happy he included al green in this. My parents always blast some al green when I was younger 💞
I dont love u anymore?
Kevin Rowe PLEASE
It's been 2 years how have you been?
Man two years ago that's wild

Fuck yes.🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man this couldn’t come at a better time
Kinda hits hard at this point in my life
The way they started that song with the edit hit different for some reason
Finally, I hoped someone els felt that shiii 🙂
This song has never been more relevant during lockdown ... so many friends just ghosted
So true. And I found out one was toxic so I basically lost friends.
Hits harder when you don't spend time with your best friend as much as before and they found a new best friend
Life is short. . . Don't waste your time because once you look back you know you wasted your time and you hate yourself one day you will find someone and that someone will love you and you'll love them for what they love and that is True Love. :)
I didn't know I needed this song slowed until now, amazing 🔥🔥
I played this over and over and over again and cried my self to sleep 😔
when pharrell said “long ago” i felt that 😭
please upload this on soundcloud/spotify or something omg i love it so much
I love the fact he posted this vid when IGOR was out for 1 DAY bro did not let the album breath 💀
*feels like something I'd hear in summer 2019*
igor was full of surprises and this at the ending just forced me to hit the replay button ngll
i don’t wanna end the season on a bad episode
4:35 SOMETHING ABT THIS PART TO THE ENDING THAT MAKES ME SOB 😝🎀
The beginning of the end of a longtime friendship
Indeed, 🎒
love what you did at the beginning
3:41 gets me in the feels
best friend breakups lowkey hurt more than actual breakups lol
0:00 intro on beat was wild
This song should be played at every wedding 👰🏻
Brilliant af.. 🙂

This one is hard man ☺️
Idk why people aint like the scream that shit still gives me instant spine chills TILL THIS DAY!

This song kinda makes me feel so many feeling I can’t name them all me finally being free but also being emotional and a bit of sad to go with it
Are we still friends? Can we be friends?
Are we still friends? I've got to kno-
Know
If we can still see each other
Shake your hand, say hi
Long ago, long ago, long ago
[Verse 1: Tyler, The Creator]
I can't stop you, I can't rock too
I've been back there and I can not die too
But I've got to know

Don't get green skin (Green skin), keep contact (Keep contact)
Don't say, "Goodbye, smell you later" (Later)
Nah, I can't
I don't want to end this season on a bad episode, nigga, nah
Bouncing off things and you don't know how you fall
Your power is drained, so you cannot go through walls
You're caught in this matrix, don't know where you play it
You hate it, it could be your favorite if you make it your friend
[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator]
(Friends)
Are we still friends? (This can't end)
Are we still friends? (I still wanna say hi)
Are we, are we, are we, are we still friends?
Oh woah

Can't say goodbye (Yeah, ah, ah)
Can't say goodbye, goodbye (Woo)

and say you meant nothing to me
you made me very happy in the short time. we were together
we opened our bodies to each other
we will always have that bond
but now you've gon back with that other nigga
We talked it over I promised I wasn't mad
I miss you but i can't force you to hang on

bro THE FIRST FIVE SECONDS OF THIS SONG WITH VOLUME ALL THE WAY UP HITS DIFFERENT
3:35 Savin this little number for myself
this is the type of song I would slow dance to with someone I like.
vibin to this 3am and forgetting the world around you
It being slowed down makes the climax feel more heart felt
this song lowkey makes me cry
That one friend man
It hurts more when ur friend is drifting apart and ignoring u bc they're in a relationship now, and u tried talking and texting them but they leave you with short replies :(
Are we still French ?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
No
Can we be French?
oui
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon
ayyyy
Jesus Christ that intro
the beginning tho!!!
yes
“DON’T GET GREEN SKIN, KEEP CONTACT (KEEP CONTACT) DON’T SAY GOODBYE, SMELL YOU LATERRRRRRRRRRRRR”😫😫😫😫😫😫
Damn you out here man but try upload to souncloud so I can leave the app ahaha
Cillian Thomas try the musi app
Everytime I listen to this song I think of all my bad friendships that I cut off times I got lead in and it just makes me cry
Sounds like a marvin Gaye with stevie wonder mix and beats of gospel like a ray Charles
Joseph Contreras I agree, Tyler sampled Marvin gayes song dream which is why it gives it that old school vibe
@@martindelrio7385 No its Al Green song Dream
Richard DeBoer you right my bad
this song hitting so hard right now
my relationship is fucking stuck
and it’s so awful
This song gives me butterflies in my back and makes my stomach tickle and also makes me think abt people who i fell in love with on accident and never saw them again, also makes me wanna quit life, from how hard it is and whats going on. Just me? Ok lol
My hands down favorite Tyler the creator song
2:08 - 2:50 THIS INTERLUDE EVERYTIME BRO NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT DOES TO ME.
How tf is earthquake more popular then this
ikr
3:45 best part, in my opinion
beautiful ;)
