This video and song had me in tears. I have limited use of the left side of my body, limbs are pretty much useless. You can become so bitter, you struggle and ask yourself why. You can become so poisonous and toxic to yourself and those around you. The samurai shows me its possible to heal, for that I am grateful. Grateful for this wonderful work of art.
"Even if one's head were to be suddenly cut off, he should be able to do one more action with certainty. With martial valor, if one becomes like a revengeful ghost and shows great determination, though his head is cut off, he should not die" thus is the way of the samurai.
Mike McDonald has had the same singing voice for 40 years. He sounds exactly the same live now than in his recordings from the mid70's. Very impressive.
Nah, his voice has gotten deeper and he can't those high notes you can hear on songs such as "I Gotta Try" or "What Fool Believes, but I don't think it is a problem. Mike is a legend!
My Wife lost her battle with cancer in January of this year. I happened across this video a few days later and cried like a baby, watching it numerous times over the next few weeks. I feel a little better now and I owe it in part to this song.
I've VERY sorry for your loss my friend... Saying a prayer for your healing and just remember the wonderful times you spent together. This is always light at the end of darkness. May the universe heal your heart and feel you with happy memories...
I lost my mother January of this year. She was elderly, lead a very good life. I was able to take care of her the last few years of her life and was with her to the very end. I'm at peace. I know your situation is very different. But I am wishing peace for you. I am hoping that the rain that you feel in your heart will leave behind a beautiful rainbow of memories soon.
@@marsournexthome I have come a long way in the last few weeks. I finally accepted the reality that she will not be here in the physical world anymore and that it is a blessing that she suffers no more. I still cry daily, but I have also been able to laugh and I am rebuilding my life without her. I will always carry my love for her and my memories of her, for they bring me comfort and are indelible. I prayed to God that he would lift my heart and he did, so I owe this to him, her presence which I feel often and music, which has been a saving grace throughout my life Thank you for your kinds words.
@@adc2327 So sorry, for your loss. I lost my Mother and my Father within two months of one another in 2016. We only get one of each and losing either is devastating. being a caregiver makes this even harder to get past. I know this from both my Mother and my Wife. I will say a prayer for you and know that it gets better with time.
Too bad they couldn't give him a song that wasn't a piece of shit! How can you people pretend this is even remotely a good song? Damn are we listening to the same piece of shit?
I started to cry when I realized I was the man with no arms. I recently lost a loved one and thinking of the loss of them and me trying to love life without without them made me feel like the guy trying to learn how to live/love life after losing his arms. I needed to get that one out as I feel like I've been holding on to it for a while. Thank you thundercat.
@@willisb17 I sincerely hope you have found the peace that the samurai did, but if you haven't, I hope you do someday. Be well, take care of yourself, and take care of those around you.
Yatch Rock documentary brought me here and I'm loving it never knew the music I've loved so long was call Yatch Rock I couldn't believe all the songs that I almost forgot about thank you to the makers of that documentary ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I enjoyed it from beginning to end
@@Remyredbone01 I'm aware of the rebranding, but this was simply called Soft Rock or Light Rock back in the days. The radio station in NYC was called Lite FM.
Bruh when the ppl in white hugged him tears started.. this was well put together and I'm ashamed I'm just now coming across this artist but so glad I did..
I have a feeling that this story is only 2/3 of the way finished. Now that he's overcome his depression about his missing limbs I want to see him become the warrior he was born to be!
I'm a psychologist and sometimes after a painful day I look at this. It helps. They're not gonna run out of human suffering but this really helps. Thundercat helps.
Haha! And if you'll notice, they are actually the mentors on all the videos the samurai is watching. The kids in white are just the facilitators. I can't believe I missed that!!
Imagine being at the top of the game with Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers in the 1970's, and then staying on top of it, and blending with the times long enough to make fresh music with Thundercat. So many rock stars of that era got old and bitter, and spend their time suing bandmates over royalties, but this guy just keeps on moving making awesome music. I was so lucky to see him live with Steely Dan circa 2006.
3:35 This song was one of my life lines when I lost my dad, then my brother then my sister then my mom so now it's just ...me, but I'm alright now I have a memory of the love they all gave me, I hear their words in my head so often I feel them in my heart, I know they want me to live in the. Happiness they wrapped around my soul and I honor them by my living ❤️🙌🏽🙏🏽
I'm in tears. Dealing with losing my mom, my kidneys failing, and possibly losing my wife. So damn hard to put on a brave face and try to remain strong. I just keep pushing
hard times my brother. real hard times. don't be afraid to reach out though. and don't feel like you gotta put on a brave face. cry, weep, mourn. real strength is being strong enough to cry, to ask for help. we got you bro!
The moment the staff hugged him, I was just about to start crying. I love stories like these that start off incredibly dark and hopeless, but build up into telling the viewer that yes, yes you can get better. Hits a lot harder when you see that journey than to just be told "you'll be fine!"
A few months ago, when I was at home starting the day, I passed out. It was a horrible situation, I hit my face and ended up in a hospital. It was a stress spike. I spent the night there and in a conversation during a checkup, a doctor asked me what music I liked to listen to. They had let me keep my cell phone. I told him that I really liked Thundercat. He didn't know him. (he did know the TV series). I put this song and we listened to it. Today I am very well, fully recovered, and that episode is just a memory. This song reminds me to value what is really important in life. And that it is important to take care of yourself and give yourself the necessary time whenever you can. Greetings from Argentina friends.
I’m so happy… Kenny Loggins and Michael McDowell were voices that were soothing in an era of when life was much less complicated. And I love ThunderCats music! For him to bring these two artists into the present with this sound means more to me than anyone can imagine. Thank you🙏🏾💯💞
This video and song means so much.. shows me it’s ok to get help, actually accept it and not lose focus on what’s important life goes on and I’m loved and needed just as I am I am loved unconditionally
[Chorus: Thundercat] Let me show you, show you the way On the edge of dark there's the brightest light A burning light on the edge of dark Where no-one can tell they’re worlds apart We'll live with dark, just take the ride [Break: Thundercat] It's your boy, Thundercat [Verse 1: Thundercat] Heavy-hearted, but my burden's light I just wanna live, and learn how to fly When it's all over, breathe into the light Sink or swim, I'm not scared to die [Break: Thundercat] Tell 'em how you feel, Kenny Kenny Loggins [Verse 2: Kenny Loggins] Your heart is struggling, baby Trying to believe That there might be something you just couldn't see But what if I told you babe It’s all so easy [Chorus: Thundercat] Let me show you, show you the way On the edge of dark there's the brightest light A burning light, on the edge of dark Where no-one can tell they’re worlds apart We'll live with dark, just take the ride [Break: Thundercat] Ladies and gentlemen: Michael McDonald [Verse 3: Michael McDonald] Wake up and dream, tear down the wall Of all you believe that might not be true Long as love lies waiting there Just hold your face into the light Though right now you might not know why Long as love lies waiting They ain’t know our way, baby [Chorus: Thundercat] Let me show you, show you the way On the edge of dark there's the brightest light A burning one, on the edge of dark Where no-one can tell they’re worlds apart We'll live with dark, just take the ride [Outro: Thundercat] Hey, how's it going? This is your boy, Thundercat. If you're going to fill your water bottle with vodka, always make sure you have a friend with a bottle that actually has water in it
As a recovered alcoholic who just made 4 years, this song speaks heavily to me. A solution exists for everyone out there struggling…Just hold your face into the light… on the edge of dark there’s the brightest light 💜
Very positive video. I like seeing videos like this. I was curious after seeing "Dragonball Durag" and started looking for more music from Thundercat. I am glad that I did.
I can't believe I cried watching this. Dope video. I just know so many people that need that type of peace even when surrounded by those who love them so much. Thundercat out here letting everybody know mental illness is real and getting help is a good thing. I'm a year late, but I'm glad i saw this.
I know the video is metaphor, but as someone with a degenerative muscle disease i need to be reminded sometimes that theres still a life to live despite losing the ability to do certain things i used to enjoy. Love u thundercat!
I love this collaboration Thundercat has with the legends Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins. They both got heavy rotation on the R&B radio stations back in the days. So in other words alot of black folks (like myself) LOVE their music and are so thankful a new generation artist has come along and captured that sound and brought it back to life.
Everytime I watch this I'm in tears. This song takes me back to R&B from back in the day. Thundercat is bringing music back in the right direction.💜💜💜💜
Jordan Dines their live performance on Jimmy Fallon is amazing. It's a little ragged but so heartfelt plus it has a short sick bass solo. I prefer it to the album version.
Damn I didn’t want this video to end. Ive been on dialysis for only two months and I’m so discouraged but this reminds me to stay focused to have a little hope. 💜
Wow, I came to rewatch this video and listen to the song for some much needed positive boosting and saw my comment here. I’m still doing dialysis and starting the strenuous requirements so I can hopefully be placed on the kidney transplant list. A few obstacles have popped up but I’m still fighting in every way. I can’t give up even when it feels like I don’t have any fight left. If you’re wondering “who the hell is she talking to?” It’s myself. Cause I’m sure I’ll be back to listen to this wonderful song again.
Carolyn Stone, Yes!!🤩 I love 70s, very early 80s sound/music. I notice Thundercats, Tuxedo and Silk Sonic, Daft Punk and some others music is capturing that sound from this Era (70s & 80s).
sincerely, i cried watching this video. but then when he started dancing i thought there would be a sick twist where he danced and fell into the pool. so glad i was so wrong.
DAMN, how did I miss this?! My son just turned me on to this artist on the last day of 2018. You can hear the heavy influences of the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan...
I've loved this song since it came out and to this day, I get chills whenever Kenny Loggins comes in and when Michael McDonald hits that high note before his verse is up. So damn good.
There's so much to unpack with this song, and Thundercat artistic genuis as a whole. This is a collab no one knew they wanted or even expected, but everyone NEEDED. He's so unbelievably moving, and special. Not to mention look at this comment section. It's also very moving. Like literally so many of us were brought to tears. Or used this song as a way to get through very painful situations. This song is the embodiment of the feeling of going through the worst scenarios in life and coming out the other side with your sanity. A sense of peace, love & gratitude. Man, protect Thundercat at all cost.
i may be drunk and emotional, but still: the part where he starts dancing made me tear up. thundercat is my favorite working artist; he pours so much soul into everything he does, i think only john darnielle comes close to making music that affects your being like this
It’s the way you come out of your personalised hell and the look you give to the loved one in front of you. In that moment something comedic clicks. The demons become the robbers that you can see in the cctv. You know at that moment that you’re in a situation. It’s important to look up, it’s valuable to realise that you’re a character in this, it’s vital to know that it’s your fight and then you have to show yourself the way. Who knows maybe the next time you look up you were still in that same hell, but at least you have an experience now.
Thundercat is an amazing composer, producer, and musician. This song he wrote with Kenny and McD is incredible. I first heard it being done in a Kenny Loggins live concert on Soundstage back in 2018, and it blew me away! This man is a true artist, and his musical gifts need to be heard by a lot more people. (The video is a trip too).
3:30 - You can hear the extra life / continue chime from the Genesis Sonic The Hedgehog games. It's the sound you hear when you earn a continue on the game to keep playing after you've lost your lives, and both fits in metaphorically with the song and video's themes about "continuing" and not giving up during hard times. Pretty crafty, genius-level shit right there. Right from the Genesis / Mega Drive: th-cam.com/video/qfsyyeQO8cI/w-d-xo.html
This song blew me away when I first heard it. Had to listen like 5x in a row. My dream is that Thundercat Kenny and Michael make an entire record together. It would be amazing.
Art like this keeps me hanging on. My curiosity, and the possibility of the next beautiful discovery are all I have sometimes. I'm so glad Thundercat wasn't scared to share his gifts with the world.
This video really gets me. Im 36 and my brother was 24 he just killed himself after our mom passed from cancer. He was obsessed with samurai stuff. I wish i could have showed him this and them changes
Michael's voice is like butter
I GUESS EVERYTHINGS BACK TO NORRRRMALLLL. FAAAARRRRRTTTT.....
This video and song had me in tears. I have limited use of the left side of my body, limbs are pretty much useless. You can become so bitter, you struggle and ask yourself why. You can become so poisonous and toxic to yourself and those around you. The samurai shows me its possible to heal, for that I am grateful.
Grateful for this wonderful work of art.

A. Swann God bless you brother : )
Keep your head up brotha, god aint done with you yet, peace to you and yours fam
Awww...you are still an amazing person!!!
Keep strong
"Them Changes/Show You the Way" are very powerful and can provide a pathway for all of us lost samurai.
I love this comment so much
"Even if one's head were to be suddenly cut off, he should be able to do one more action with certainty. With martial valor, if one becomes like a revengeful ghost and shows great determination, though his head is cut off, he should not die" thus is the way of the samurai.
@@dest_druid3830 Well said, fellow practitioner.
🤣🤣🤣
Weird vibe
A song with Kenny Loggin’s that has Sonic The Hedgehog samples used on it. What a time we live in.
Wait. What!? Sonic the hedgehog?? I played part 1 and 2 but I don't hear it.
XTRABIG at the end of it
At the beginning of the choruses it seems like a "ring" sound too, but there's definitely the sample at the end
@@rafaelsoto3232 Yeah its the end of stage sound very appropriate, it means you succeeded, that's actually making me emotional
The ending too has the sonic bonus theme win.

@@JoseRamirez-rq2gj I think it actually sounds smoother on a low part like in this song. But yes his range isn’t as high as it used to be
Mr. Blue eyed soul......
Teenage me would be shocked at how much I'm grooving to this.
I'm glad the Them Changes warrior got a happier ending
Joe Walker I know them changes was so sad
I guess a lot of people commented on the original video, so he decided to make a happier sequel.
I’m also glad hopsin got a happy ending too
Joe Walker Me too. I wanted something good to happen to him eventually
Joe Walker right.

Go on and dig deeper, you'll lose yourself on his discography
You'd feel like floaaatiiiing
@@DUntDUDrUgs I have been. Its amazing. Interestingly my kids have become fans as well
For me, it's the moment right after that when he's remembering his family doing the same that starts the tears for me.
TH-cam algorithm got it right for once! Never found this w/out it, lol
Yep that was the part that got me too
TKM = Thundercat Kenny Michael (MIND BLOWN!)
This song & video literally brought me to tears. Because depression ain't no joke.
Why am I late!!!
Same here broskie.
🙏🏼
Such a powerful & beautiful song! 💯🙏🏾💪🏾
wow i bawled
I have a feeling that this story is only 2/3 of the way finished. Now that he's overcome his depression about his missing limbs I want to see him become the warrior he was born to be!
Ian Boelts which song would you like it to be set to?
tasha777 it lowkey may be on the next album because them changes was a recycled song
IvyFilms yes maybe!!
good question, i was thinking about that! I might have to agree with IvyFilms though... could be a song that's still like a sperm in the nut lol
Ian Boelts lol nut!! I mean we did get a Tron sequel in the Drunk album so..
Thundercat, Kenny Loggins, and Michael McDonald? What god did I please?!?
I believe with all my heart and soul that Thundercat is easily among the greatest bassists of the 21st century.
I'm a psychologist and sometimes after a painful day I look at this. It helps. They're not gonna run out of human suffering but this really helps. Thundercat helps.
Therapist here. I've shown this video to my patients, sparks a conversation about setbacks and the healing process. Great song, even better message.
Holy shit Thundercat is the bridge between the last generation and this, thank you for having these legends grace the track !
Details: the brochure in the opening says TKM Wellness. Could that be (T)hundercat (K)enny and (M)icheal ?
Genius
Haha! And if you'll notice, they are actually the mentors on all the videos the samurai is watching. The kids in white are just the facilitators. I can't believe I missed that!!
GOOD CATCH!
wow
I thought the same but can't figure out why it's changed to TKC in the ending photo montage
Whenever Michael McDonald’s part comes on I just feel different. Such a soothing voice.
Imagine being at the top of the game with Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers in the 1970's, and then staying on top of it, and blending with the times long enough to make fresh music with Thundercat.
So many rock stars of that era got old and bitter, and spend their time suing bandmates over royalties, but this guy just keeps on moving making awesome music. I was so lucky to see him live with Steely Dan circa 2006.

Happiness they wrapped around my soul and I honor them by my living ❤️🙌🏽🙏🏽
god bless you
The look on Thundercat's face when his verse enters is so cheerfully hilarious.
“It’s your boy, Thundercat”
“😀…”
LOL
he's so goofy 😭
Michael tickling the air ivories was pretty good as well
I love how this is a continuation of them changes. Glad he made a video to this. Michael and Kenny are legends thus was needed!
I'm in tears. Dealing with losing my mom, my kidneys failing, and possibly losing my wife. So damn hard to put on a brave face and try to remain strong. I just keep pushing
🤗🙏🏽❤️
Sending prayers your way brother ❤
Wishing you all love xx
hard times my brother. real hard times. don't be afraid to reach out though. and don't feel like you gotta put on a brave face. cry, weep, mourn. real strength is being strong enough to cry, to ask for help. we got you bro!
for real though, i know i'm late to this, but i'm worried about you. hope you are well
The moment the staff hugged him, I was just about to start crying. I love stories like these that start off incredibly dark and hopeless, but build up into telling the viewer that yes, yes you can get better. Hits a lot harder when you see that journey than to just be told "you'll be fine!"
Not one... not two... but three certified soul brothers in one awesome song?! Am I worthy?!

I will never get tired of this song, it’s refreshing, touching and just sound good
[Chorus: Thundercat]
Let me show you, show you the way
On the edge of dark there's the brightest light
A burning light on the edge of dark
Where no-one can tell they’re worlds apart
We'll live with dark, just take the ride
[Break: Thundercat]
It's your boy, Thundercat
[Verse 1: Thundercat]
Heavy-hearted, but my burden's light
I just wanna live, and learn how to fly
When it's all over, breathe into the light
Sink or swim, I'm not scared to die
[Break: Thundercat]
Tell 'em how you feel, Kenny
Kenny Loggins
[Verse 2: Kenny Loggins]
Your heart is struggling, baby
Trying to believe
That there might be something you just couldn't see
But what if I told you babe
It’s all so easy
[Chorus: Thundercat]
Let me show you, show you the way
On the edge of dark there's the brightest light
A burning light, on the edge of dark
Where no-one can tell they’re worlds apart
We'll live with dark, just take the ride
[Break: Thundercat]
Ladies and gentlemen: Michael McDonald
[Verse 3: Michael McDonald]
Wake up and dream, tear down the wall
Of all you believe that might not be true
Long as love lies waiting there
Just hold your face into the light
Though right now you might not know why
Long as love lies waiting
They ain’t know our way, baby
[Chorus: Thundercat]
Let me show you, show you the way
On the edge of dark there's the brightest light
A burning one, on the edge of dark
Where no-one can tell they’re worlds apart
We'll live with dark, just take the ride
[Outro: Thundercat]
Hey, how's it going? This is your boy, Thundercat. If you're going to fill your water bottle with vodka, always make sure you have a friend with a bottle that actually has water in it
Thank you. I was wondering what Thundercat said in the Outro. :)
Gotta love that little pro tip at the end there.
Thank you I had given up trying to get the outro but I knew it had to be good.
I don't drink so I guess I need to make sure I bring enough water for everyone
THANKS STEEZE
2:41 is where I teared up; this video is one of the most powerful ones I've seen in almost my entire life.
As a recovered alcoholic who just made 4 years, this song speaks heavily to me. A solution exists for everyone out there struggling…Just hold your face into the light… on the edge of dark there’s the brightest light 💜
Amen. Proud of you and keep on living it.

The collab I didn't know I needed!
Nice to see Toro y Moi help the samurai get back in his groove.
bmwx3turbo lol !! That’s exactly what I was thinking!! Hahaha! I was like that dude looks like Chaz!!
idem
Maybe it actually is toro y moi haha
Lmao!
tasha777 LOL
Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins are so legendary, so nice with Thundercat.
Get the depression slapped out of you.
Alien Vs McDouble Am depressed, needed that laugh. Thank you.
😂😂😂😂😂
Alien Vs McDouble More like when moma said,"I'll knock the black off you!"
My mans literally had the toxicity slapped out of him...
...I could definitely use that treatment.
Wish it were that easy...
I know the video is metaphor, but as someone with a degenerative muscle disease i need to be reminded sometimes that theres still a life to live despite losing the ability to do certain things i used to enjoy. Love u thundercat!
💪 ❤
keep fighting bro...much love to you
Jesus christ, this jewel came out of nowhere on my feed. Im a simple man, i see mikey mcdonald, i click. I didnt think music like this was still made
I love this collaboration Thundercat has with the legends Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins. They both got heavy rotation on the R&B radio stations back in the days. So in other words alot of black folks (like myself) LOVE their music and are so thankful a new generation artist has come along and captured that sound and brought it back to life.
Everytime I watch this I'm in tears. This song takes me back to R&B from back in the day. Thundercat is bringing music back in the right direction.💜💜💜💜
It would be great if they released an alternative video which is just Thundercat, Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins performing in the clouds
Jordan Dines their live performance on Jimmy Fallon is amazing. It's a little ragged but so heartfelt plus it has a short sick bass solo. I prefer it to the album version.
He has 2 legends on this!!!! 💯💯💯
Omg...why am I just now finding this? 3 musical geniuses. Great song!
What an amazing song! We need more music like this these days! Also, Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald still sound as good as they did 30 years ago!
Damn I didn’t want this video to end. Ive been on dialysis for only two months and I’m so discouraged but this reminds me to stay focused to have a little hope. 💜
Wow, I came to rewatch this video and listen to the song for some much needed positive boosting and saw my comment here. I’m still doing dialysis and starting the strenuous requirements so I can hopefully be placed on the kidney transplant list. A few obstacles have popped up but I’m still fighting in every way. I can’t give up even when it feels like I don’t have any fight left. If you’re wondering “who the hell is she talking to?” It’s myself. Cause I’m sure I’ll be back to listen to this wonderful song again.
Wishing you strength and hope in your darkest days! You got this.
Melissa Lee Nilles Thanks Melissa👍🏾
I’m keeping hope alive.
Glad you're still flying high Ellie. Peace and Love
RAnny Smith Thanks and same to you!
Another Thundercat music video to cry over? My day has just gotten better ❤
I feel you:-)!
Jeez, I thought I was the only one
oh god I'm glad its not just me
The bassline on this track is phenomenal
maaaaan, that imagery of slapping the darkness out of the man's head... that was powerful, simple, but powerful
This sounds late 70s early 80s, amazing!!!!!
That's a linndrum, so at least 82 lol
Carolyn Stone,
Yes!!🤩 I love 70s, very early 80s sound/music. I notice Thundercats, Tuxedo and Silk Sonic, Daft Punk and some others music is capturing that sound from this Era (70s & 80s).
One of the best albums this year
AQGOAT24 Damn, I've been listening to it so much I forgot it was this year!
Joshua LaMere SAME feels like a year since it dropped
KING GEEDRA there's too much music being released at once it seems like
AQGOAT24 absolutely man.
Nah not really. Far too much filler.
sincerely, i cried watching this video. but then when he started dancing i thought there would be a sick twist where he danced and fell into the pool.
so glad i was so wrong.
I felt EXACTLY the same. The tears welling up AND I thought he was gonna fall into the pool.
ROTL!!!! Me too
😂😂😂
Me too....
All it would of took was just one slip...them Splash!!
Damn im so glad this song exists. Where has it been for my whole existance.
I don't why but I'm 26 and i like all of thundercat songs, my minds at peace when I listen to this guy
DAMN, how did I miss this?! My son just turned me on to this artist on the last day of 2018. You can hear the heavy influences of the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan...
Doobie Brothers! Michael McDonald indeed 😌🥰
🚨🚨
Don't forget the Isley Brothers
Preach....
I've loved this song since it came out and to this day, I get chills whenever Kenny Loggins comes in and when Michael McDonald hits that high note before his verse is up. So damn good.
IT'S YO BOI, THUNDERCAT
Emilio Guardado *applause*
Uhhh Skinny penis
...if you gonna fill your water bottle with vodka, always make sure you have a friend with you that actually has water in a bottle.
Emilio Mind reviewing our recent LO-FI rhymes if you have a moment ;)
There's so much to unpack with this song, and Thundercat artistic genuis as a whole. This is a collab no one knew they wanted or even expected, but everyone NEEDED. He's so unbelievably moving, and special. Not to mention look at this comment section. It's also very moving. Like literally so many of us were brought to tears. Or used this song as a way to get through very painful situations. This song is the embodiment of the feeling of going through the worst scenarios in life and coming out the other side with your sanity. A sense of peace, love & gratitude. Man, protect Thundercat at all cost.
This is literally like honey for the ears. Thundercat doesn't miss.
i may be drunk and emotional, but still: the part where he starts dancing made me tear up. thundercat is my favorite working artist; he pours so much soul into everything he does, i think only john darnielle comes close to making music that affects your being like this
It’s that Native American sounding Tom beat that kills me every time!
The part where he admires the beauty of the birds flying away is when I started crying. It can legit be hard to love life sometimes. Never give up.
"when you fill a water bottle with vodka, make sure you have a friend who actually yknow, has water" at the end lmao
Bojack
@@jessicavalentin8371 What is a bojack?
@@romo2674 Bojack Horseman... cartoon character (literally half horse/half man)
My little brother loved this song he herd this song the first time and was i.pressed 12/ 21/21 RIP Bro
First time seeing the video and hearing this song.... WOW!!!!
That fire right here 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
They still got it man
Love the sonic stage clear sound at the end
Beautiful story, beautifully shot, beautiful expressions. I wish this was a feature length movie.
This song is therapy
This is why I totally respect thundercat. Who would of thought to make a record with Kenny and Mike.
It took 2 goddamn years... But gosh, I'm so happy for this man ♥
what took 2 years?
Jens9807 watch his video for them changes, this video is a sequel to that one
oh okay I do love that song
LemKuuja the best things always take some time! Love this song and video. Very well done.
Healing takes time...let that man heal even if it took 2+ years
It’s the way you come out of your personalised hell and the look you give to the loved one in front of you. In that moment something comedic clicks. The demons become the robbers that you can see in the cctv. You know at that moment that you’re in a situation. It’s important to look up, it’s valuable to realise that you’re a character in this, it’s vital to know that it’s your fight and then you have to show yourself the way. Who knows maybe the next time you look up you were still in that same hell, but at least you have an experience now.
I was reading the comments and I was like huh I’m NOT gonna cry.
I still cried
Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins in the same song will have this affect..
@M Dee it gives you that 1984 groove to it
Having 'This Is It' flashbacks over here. Kudos to Thundercat...he knows good music.
@@Cevensities any song with the bith of them is a classic
@@bigstunna2049 "I Gotta Try" too!
FACTS ON FACTS
Thundercat is an amazing composer, producer, and musician. This song he wrote with Kenny and McD is incredible. I first heard it being done in a Kenny Loggins live concert on Soundstage back in 2018, and it blew me away! This man is a true artist, and his musical gifts need to be heard by a lot more people. (The video is a trip too).
So proud for the samurai
Im sorry but I cried. Healing the wounds of this brother the metaphors are overwelming- thanks T. Wellness = Healing.
3:30 - You can hear the extra life / continue chime from the Genesis Sonic The Hedgehog games. It's the sound you hear when you earn a continue on the game to keep playing after you've lost your lives, and both fits in metaphorically with the song and video's themes about "continuing" and not giving up during hard times.
Pretty crafty, genius-level shit right there.
Right from the Genesis / Mega Drive:

You can also hear it he's saying "Let me show you, Show you the way" I believe it's a sample of the bonus level
Did this imagery make anyone else cry cuz I'm crying
impossible not to cry
The amount of legendary prowess in this feature is ridiculously amazing.
Finding peace with your situation and moving on...very inspirational!
This song blew me away when I first heard it. Had to listen like 5x in a row. My dream is that Thundercat Kenny and Michael make an entire record together. It would be amazing.
TKM..... the album "We Are Here To Help You".... that would be dope
Art like this keeps me hanging on. My curiosity, and the possibility of the next beautiful discovery are all I have sometimes. I'm so glad Thundercat wasn't scared to share his gifts with the world.
perfect marriage of three great falsetto mystros
This song is on F-I-R-E! It's a lovely nod back to the wonderful yacht rock of the late 70s and early 80s. I can't love this track enough!
The collaboration of Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins is dope AF
At 2:45 my brain starts singing "I keep forgetting" by Mr. McDonald every time. I love this song.
This video really gets me. Im 36 and my brother was 24 he just killed himself after our mom passed from cancer. He was obsessed with samurai stuff. I wish i could have showed him this and them changes
❤
This gentle song is everything!
I'm so glad this has helped so many people. thank you Thundercat/Kenny Loggins/ Micheal McDonald!
