My brother would listen to Nujabes years ago late at night, just chilling at his desk with his sunglasses on. I remember this song specifically. He passed away this year at 35. This song makes me think of him. I had this song played at his funeral. Now I have such a hard time listening to it but I love it like I love him. Rest in paradise Cody Jo 🕊️
Condolences. Memories are created through music, your brother will forever live through this song, cherish the past times. This song will keep you pushing through the down times in life. Keep your head up. He’s smiling down on ya. Peace. 🕊️
@@neighborhoodturnt You compare non mainstream music from before to nowadays mainstream music. The comparison is not fair. We have amazing artists you just don't know about.
@@Kansaidorifuto_ true but the hay day of hip hop and Memphis horrorcore is long past the era I’m most fond of to each is own and yes their is still great artist but tbh I prefer my old music sorry you got so offended lol
My Nephew, ( God Rest his Soul ) made the gravely choice of taking a pill to " stay awake to do homework ". He was 19 years old. It was Fentanyl. His life was taken. This was his favorite song. It is one thing to listen to this song for yourself. It is another to listen to it from the perception of someone else's. I couldn't think of a better song to be played at his funeral as he exited this world and flew like a feather onto his next purpose. I am so grateful to this song for giving me the opportunity to listen to it knowing my nephew once listened to it and found such deep meaning and purpose for him and his life.
@@thecodegoat355 Imagine if nujabes and doom had the chance to make an album together, that might have ended up being the best thing since madvillainy.
The older I get the more I love Nujabes. I remember when us fans got news of his passing. He was just starting to blow up as an artist on the internet it felt like we had a private club on TH-cam waiting for that new Nujabes drop. We lost an acoustic genius. Rest in Peace Nujabes we miss you brother. 🙏🏼

I first listened to this song in 2007, when it was used on TH-cam as the background music to a video where some guy explored cell phone stores in Japan. Since then, I've had this song on my rotation and it's one of the few absolute continuities in my life. I was of course devastated when it happened but I still consider myself lucky to have been at the Nujabes Memorial Event in 2015 (Shibuya Liquidroom), where this song was performed live by Cise Starr. Seriously one of the greatest moments of my life.
@@kwa_nguyen The event was called Eternal Soul and featured many artists that collaborated with Nujabes during his lifetime, among them: Cise Starr, Funky DL, Pase Rock, Shing02 and Substantial. They performed many of the classics and I have nothing but fond memories of that night (although drinks were fucking expensive, lol).
@@ichi1082 oh woww. would have been such an amazing moment for everyone there. i wish i got to see nujabes live or see any of those guys perform a nujabes song live. i think i would cry!
Rest in peace Nujabes, your music really did change the world and turned it into a better place! Feathers is a masterpiece that has helped me countless times when I was sad, so I can't thank it enough... (Amazing work from Cise Starr and Akin too :D)
this song and others from Nujabes have been keeping me going throughout community college. might transfer to uni next year, if i can afford it, but who knows? gonna keep riding that escalator
Never a time that it's not just perfect or the amazing background to a morning, cruise or a conversation. Or those good times when u experience all 3. Legendary song.

Sending love from Tennessee. Hope you're doing okay, stranger 🌼
Rest in peace and power to your brother. sending love to you❤
My condolences mate. Regardless of if we are dead or alive, we are all one and heading in the same direction.
The fact that this album was made in 2005 is mind-blowing. The whole record was so ahead of its time
It wasn't we are just so out of touch we repeat the past but it was very good and still is
@@HesreynoldsI would almost argue we’re going in the wrong direction now modern music just isn’t the same sadly
Music has no time... nujabes is whenever you play his stuff
@@neighborhoodturnt You compare non mainstream music from before to nowadays mainstream music. The comparison is not fair. We have amazing artists you just don't know about.

“Treat you better than me cause it’s the heavenly key.”
Words that should be practiced more in this era of self centeredness.
One of my favorite lyrics of all time. This song is filled with gems.
Kant's ethic

i was almost your nephew last week i appreciate your words more then you know
Feather is undoubtedly one of the top 3 songs of this album. Amazing poetic song
Absolutely agree. This one always speaks to me.
My top three are definitely Luv(sic) pt3, Feather, and Eclipse
In my opinion it's one of the top 20 best chill-out hip hop tracks ever produced.
@@FukUrUsernameRules 100% every thing he made was authentic
Idk about that.
You can't measure art in such a way.
There is no top 3.
There is absolutely no top 3
Crazy, I was friends with Nujabes on Myspace. He was always online. RIP.
Lucky
@@Someone777-m8b I wish I had sent him a message, though 😔
He would’ve loved the music scene of today and honestly he would’ve DOMINATED.

"I'm just a vagabond, with flowers for Algernon" is my favorite line in all music
I don't know why this sounds so beautiful, the piano just moves me in such a perfect way
You said you don't know why then explained why 🙄
@@Alostwanderer88 maybe you're right, It's as simple as that
Listen to some Yusuf Lateef for more piano like this
That's barry harris for u
Idc who the hell you are, the moment this song comes on you instantly feel a vibe . Swear this will be in rotation until my end of time
One day when we both beat our demons, we will be in another city, we will be on a rooftop in a sunny afternoun and we will listen to this song.
I understand you, friend
I'll look forward to being there
the meat beating demons
See ya then

LYRICS:
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
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 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
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
Ain't tryin' to be Talib when I write
Surreal life I paint it vivid habitat crazy insane
Watch the propaganda six 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
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 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
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 prose 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 vacuumless 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"
Yo does anyone know if the last two lines are an American pie reference?
it definitely is@@JeremysJamz
Correction: "Remember me, because my prose remain gold"
from: "Remember me, because my clothes remain gold"
Prose is a word that means basically "writing style", when used colloquially. The formal usage means "Written as spoken."
@@rampaginwalrus thank you!
Corrected.
Fak, durísimo
Happy 50th birthday to Nujabes💓🙏
This might be my favorite song of all time
I really wish id have found him sooner cause his music is out of this world, too late to see new ones, but in time to appreciate the ones that exist
I just discovered him a few months ago. Music has no expiration date
Just like people, music never dies unless you forget it
makes me happy to see people still discovering his music for the first time :)
woah. hopefully Nujabes' entire discography can be uploaded too

2005年に作られたってのを知った時は衝撃的だった
不朽の名作だし、イントロが良すぎる
Rest in peace Nujabes, your music really did change the world and turned it into a better place!

Hopefully your doing well nowadays

How is it going bro?
Never a time that it's not just perfect or the amazing background to a morning, cruise or a conversation. Or those good times when u experience all 3. Legendary song.

Happy 50th Nujabes
행복하길.
不朽の名盤
イントロの衝撃は忘れらない
How have I never heard this. Almost 20 years later. This is proper hip hop. Absolutely love this song.
chills everytime 🤍 this song is so important to me!
I like this jazz hip-hop best, because his lyrics and accompaniment are excellent. Nujabes forever
Probably my favorite track from Nujabes. Cise Star flows perfectly over the beat, and it ends just as smoothly as it begins. Beautiful.
ほんとお洒落だ
でしょ
The sheer amount of references in this song is insane and to finish it off paired with an amazing beat
It’s like the more you listen to this song the better it gets so timeless.🔥
The tune, the lyrics, everything is just perfect.
Even he dead he still making people smile and happy
this song is so ahead of its time he talked about discord 10 years before its initial release in 2015!
Lol. Bro...
I can’t tell if this is supposed to be humorous or not but its funny
@@mrlevinielsen this is a joke :P
okay that made me laugh, but damn, it's crazy how true that lyric is
"It's either Genocide, or the planet's in uproar"
why did this make me laugh
Don't remember exactly when I came across this song, but it's always been a favorite. The sound is immediately encapsulating.
I don't know why but this song reminds me of Skate 3
The subtle horns behind the end of of the 2nd verse always gets me!
Chills.
All Nujabes Instrumentals are just magic.
im so jealous for teens in 2005 . what a golden opportunity to rock this on your times!
One of the best song STILL after 18 years 🤍
Happy birthday we all miss you
Discovered Nujabes a month ago and have listened to a couple tracks by him, this by far is my favorite. Rest in paradise Nbes
I was introduced to Nujabes through Samurai Champloo back in '05 and I still come back to listen to him in '24.
When I needed it the most...I found it..❤
🙏🏻
This album transcends time. It feels 90s and beyond
even when everything looks like it spiraling towards the end, this song always manages to keep my hope up and show me the light
Man this song makes me sad and happy at the same time I’m crying tears of joy and tears of melancholy man RIP Nujabes…damn man
light as feather.
Goated🔥 from algeria🇩🇿
When music finds you when you need it the most.
Listen The sky is tumbling 🔥
This song is criminally underrated
this is his most popular song
May this song live on!!!
The trumpets at 1:46 really top this song off gives chills 💯
So underrated and an incredible song. The feelings I get listening through this.
Lyrics:
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
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 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
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
Ain't tryin' to be Talib when I write
Surreal life I paint it vivid habitat crazy insane
Watch the propaganda six 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
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 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
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 vacuumless 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"
This Song Speaks to My Soul🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Coming back to this song every summer since I discovered it 10 years ago. Nujabes is just a legend
Yes is the father off loffypop for me
10 years ago with my spliff speaker and the sun. 10 years later, nothing changes. Rip Nujabes
Such a beautiful song
The banger that this is needs so much more recognition. Regardless if I heard this over 10 years ago it will never get old
Imagine Nujabes usin today's technology and creatin absoulute masterpieces fr
They tore this track up. Absolutely beautiful song, with vocals that can just effortlessly flow with the beat. This song always puts a smile on my face as soon as I hear that piano at the beginning 💙
Listening to this track I understand I’ll overcome all troubles in my life with a wide smile on my face
Haven’t heard this since 2007 ish…nostalgia is an understatement

Living this life to the best of my ability
Channeling energy to my thoughts, attain symmetry
Remember me, because my prose remain gold
I got the gift of gab like them pimps in Kangol
It never ends, I keep it rolling like a cypher
The first caveman bringing fire
Innovating and higher to plasma states I raise the stakes
It's double or nothing in this vacuum 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, singing "This will be the day that I die"
My comfort song fr

If it wasn't for you Nujabes, I wouldn't be here.
This is a classic
After like 15 year I found this masterpiece! Back in high school I heard it and could never remember it
Beautiful imagery and complex words I dig and got metaphysical energetic chills in my spine that feel negative yet positive.

That like idk "asian" drum sound in the beginning and background really ties it together
That American Pie reference caught me beautifully
Thank you for keeping on keeping on 👍
