"All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day, put the pieces back together my way."
This hits me so hard.
Respect.
The realization that you aren't in control of your life nearly as much as you would like to think. Thanks Aesop
Ironically, you are in control of your life as much as you... not would like to think, but DO think.
Stoicism
Nice
It’s our job to do the best we can for the sake of the future. We got to work towards freedom for all
i'm fairly certain this dude is the greatest lyricist alive
*****
except his vocabulary is quite a bit bigger lol
YaBoyBillson I do believe he does hold the title for most lyrical ( most words in his music vocabulary).
YaBoyBillson Best writer, not the best lyricist
I think he's roughly in the same tier as Lupe...
Mike Tensor There's a big difference between him and Lupe. Lupe uses big words to sound intellectual, he portrays himself to be better than he is. Aesop uses even more big words but they're all used for metaphors. Just listen to Atomic Misphylosphy by Lupe, Aesop uses Metaphors every sentence while Lupe is just using big words to sound better and more fascinating than he actually is.
This is literally one of the greatest rap songs ever written.
this beat is absolutely gorgeous.
BillyxRansom
Beat was used 4 years earlier by mystik journeyman, immortal souls
It's not the same beat, just the same sample.
Blockhead did the beat. Big fan of a lot of his work.
Blockhead=one of the greatest unknown beat makers besides Dj kno. I like this tune when it’s played with nightlight. Nice combo.
Your mother is absolutely goregeous
There is something so thoroughly, and yet so subtly, emotional about this song, as if Aesop wrote this song as some kind of expressive catharsis. I won't pretend to understand Aesop's lyrics entirely, but the segment about "red bricks" turning "yellow" speaks so clearly to me; we could all use an easier path, but, in the end, the harsh reality of the world will always come back to haunt you.
i think the only person that could understand aesop's lyrics entirely is aesop haha
Aesop Rock is, quite simply, one of the greatest and most detailed MC's in Hip-Hop history. His finest song, right here.
I've listened to this song for a numerous amount of years, it was the first song I heard from Aesop, and still one of my favourites. Honestly, of all the years still listening to this song, I still haven't been able to pin point exactly what he means in it, and sometimes I will randomly understand a metaphor in it. I don't really want to go on Rap Genius cause that's too easy. But damn, I have to say I appreciate this music. And the beat is just amazing. The chorous is what resonates with me the most, and I'm sure others as well. "All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day and the pieces back together my way". Don't we all sometimes....This is a piece of Art. Highly intricate and cherished.
Because lyrically this one of the illest joints ever penned.....He is a wordsmith....
Michael Novak Hell ya! Couldn't agree with you more.
Michael Novak it is actually , but with more reflexion than just that
Michael Novak great comment. Great perception
nickbagelboy you need to keep dissecting
One of the most underrated hip hop songs out there today! Yeah fight me!
Aesop Rock.
K-Rino.
Cambatta.
Nobody is touching their pens. They're truely the most powerful lyricists in Hip-Hop of all time.
Take K-Rino outta this list, and we are good.
I wasnt feeling this at the time, I was too young and dumb. Now I see this is top notch gold
I’ve been listening to this song for almost 10 years and everytime I listen I get another message. Truly a never ending genius song.
One of the songs I discovered back in 08 that made me fall in love with underground hip hop. Jedi mind trick and immortal technique to
absolute lyrical genius: "this origami dream is beautiful but man those wings will never leave the ground without a feather and a lottery ticket now settle down" :) love it :)
Those dreams will never leave the ground without a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down.
i had a room-mate who was listening to this song on a daily basis for 3 years. i never wrote down the name of the song or who the artist was. couple years ago I heard this track in a vinyl store and bought the first press on vinyl to give it to him. but when I arrived at home it was already too late, he took his life.
rip daylight
Holy shit im sorry for your loss
Still fire, and relevant, in 2021
A pure wordsmith with an unbreakable flow one of my favorites. Enjoy the song.
This makes me sad =( me and all my friends used to listen to aesop when we were in middle/high school and we were always partying and doing crazy shit. I miss not having to worry about shit I don't want to be worrying about. I miss having them around. Every one changed went there separate ways and now I'm only left with one of those friends out of like 30 people. I wish I was more appreciative of the present moment then. I didn't think things would change so much.
it's crazy because I feel the same exact way about me and friends when we were back in school and had nothing to worry about and then everyone went in different directions
Possessedbabies damn this song reminds me of my days in college before i got kicked out. best time of my life and this makes me sad as hell
30 friends is a big as group
I feel ya.
When seasons change you can only hope you don't remain the same.
This song's been on my heavy rotation for 20 yrs plus & still going
All I ever wanted was to pick apart this song, though I never thought that it would take me this long....
clever
It's hard to find good music. I'm happy I found this song.
Great job in presenting the lyrics in sync with the music - the best I've seen - thanks! Very clever solution.
edited: I hope that this comment made you proud 11 years ago.
"it's honor, and i spell it with the H i stole from heritage" genius
Chills bro
I bet that's the only line you understood from the whole track.
I dont even understand a single line
Anurag Tiwari Don't be an ass
This line has made me spontaneously break down in tears
Best of the Best right here 💥💥💥💥 !!! -and and still in 2020 !!!
my science teacher showed me this
You got a awesome science teacher
My science teacher showed me that she was a weirdo
taylor salazar He a beauty.
My science teacher sells meth with me
I am the science teacher
I have over 40 of his songs downloaded onto my phone, and listen to him spit in a state of blissful ignorance. I'm curious as to what his lyrics mean, but deciphering them in your own way is so much more satisfying and fun. Long live Aesop.
I can use big words an sound smart to... I just dont care enough to
The Stalks
Where did he use big words?
reiligha I assume he was referring to Aes, though I could be absolutely wrong.
Nik Lewis
Was a dumb comment; not yours, his.
The Stalks yet another idiot who thinks "big" words are just people "trying to sound smart". its because of dudes like you the human race is running into the ground. you dont know, and you only care enough to be a negative piece of shit. bleeeeh.
Nice lyrics! I appreciate you putting the pieces back together your way.
what an incredibly intelligent song
yh really made me tip my fedora
Anyone else watching in 2020? Keeps me coming back.
Amazing. His music for sure makes me feel something in my heart.
I remember hearing this song back in 5th grade on Pandora. I was impressed. Now, 6 years later, I am still impressed.
2016 coming we still here
THAT'S RIGHT! TELL EM
+lisa karson still strong!!
yes !!
+Channel House 2016 here we still coming
then he blesses us with a new installment... we are just heads letting the wave wash over
always been one my of my favorite lines of all time
One of the greatest albums ever made.
How come I'm just hearing bout Aesop Rock, heard this on the radio blew my mind far away, stil waitin for it to come back. On repeat. Lyrics and beat is too hot for these new rappers to grab on. Respect!
Ikr imagine someone like...idk.. Jay Z- even attempting to perform this even in his house, alone. Yeah I could too, but I can laugh at myself.. cuz unlike the "big, bad Hova" I don't claim an entire empire of REAL music, like Aesop Rock CAN.
I guess Aesop would get the last laugh on this one!
JZ-😢
me-😒
Aesop-😯😁😂
+T Weed Radio? That's a surprise, lmao.
+Foxxyownz I have no element of surprise left in my life. why yours? no sarcasm intended
lisa karson It's a surprise to hear Aesop Rock in the radio, or any underground artist for that matter. What type or radio was it I wonder? Must be an independent station.
+Foxxyownz I thought you were replying to me. That's y I was confused. Then I noticed ur comments direction-lol I had the same thought bec I was thinking, When do u hear Aesop on the radio? Apparently some ppl claim they hear this shit on the radio-I'm guessing it's when they're local or the artist is getting big. For instance, I saw Atmosphere perform "You" on Letterman. I was pretty surprised
Just saw Aesop Rock yesterday in DC. The crowd went wild when he played this song.
Aesop Rock literally is like 1000x more talented than Drake lol or most artists now days for that matter
David Camino and about 100x better than the guy who's just under him.
drake makes me laugh... thinkin hes talented enough to step to em. even aesop could turn him to space dust. but i also kinda just hate the way that nigga sound, and i dont find him to be clever at all, so i guess that just my opinion
David Camino true
David Camino Shrug. Drake purposefully makes music that's more assesible to the masses. While I like Aesop his music is very very dense. I honestly wish people would stop comparing different rappers who are attempting to do different things with their art. It's not fair to either. It's like an ex that I tried to introduce to Aesop who said he's not that great...he doesn't even have any club bangers. Well that's not the goal of his music.
In conclusion if you're going to judge an artist judge him based on the goals of his art and the quality of his art against what he was trying to do. For a sports analogy that's like comparing Randy Moss and Tom Brady and saying Brady isn't a great football player because he isn't as fast as Moss and can't catch or beat double coverage like Moss. It's aa rediculous statement and comparison....and the only thing the two have in common is they're football players. Same with comparing Aesop and Drake...the only thing they have in common is they're rappers.
drakes style is like smelly fish
The inaccuracy makes me sad....every few lines something is wrong. And with the density of Aesop that makes a HUGE difference. My guess is that there a people that now think he's crap based on poor translation from english to english. SMDH!
Dude yes. All of what you said.
They really did butcher it
no kidding lmao
They did fuck up bad sad we speak different english lmfao
hell even much simpler rap songs have lyric videos that are off so its kinda to be expected with aesop
This is the best lyric video ive ever seen such good flow no skipping or incorrect lyrics and fast.
all time favorite song got me really into rap and poetry 👌🏼
helped. read more books always.
I loved this song soo much I memorized it years ago....and I still never forgot the lyrics :3
The chorus to this joint is super deep! it really hit home for me, Thanks ARock!
2017 and this still keeps my head up high, yes yall, still picken up the pieces but we still here
A Masterpiece...
i love aesop. it's an amazing mix between poetry (which i love) and rap (which i love).
To this day never gets old
this is the most unique music style i have ever heard, most dope
Damn this is great I listen to it every morning as the sun rises and that is enough to get me through the day
A minute into this song, and I'm already wondering how in the fuck is he getting in all these odd words into his flow, and make it work smoothly.
But does it even make sense most the time?
@@thedefeatedpurpose9772yeah
i love how you lit up the lyrics, this song is sick and says alot to those who listen and lighting up the lyrics like that only makes it easier to listen to. =D
I came across this song on Pandora and I am in love with it.
had to say something again. ....love this song. ....... hits me deeply
I don't even like rap, but I've always loved this song, and No Regrets
Guys like Aesop know how to make rap a work of art, which is what music is SUPPOSED to be-art. "Gangsta" wannabe "trappers" take note.
I thank myself for introducing myself to this artist.
you did the lyrics really good thanks for doing that....if you continue posting lyrics like that to good songslike this I would follow your channel. thanks for the music..but i'm definately coming back to it to read it
Music is what you make of it, if you can't interpret your own meaning from a song then it's not for you.
As much as people like to pick apart lyricism it's something that should resonate with you as you listen and if it doesn't then no big deal. If anyone thinks less of you for your musical tastes they're the asshole because they don't understand how art works.
That goes for everyone from Aesop Rock to Lil Wayne.
Im Spanish and i have a shitty english but Aesop Rock songs just make me feel that i need to understand every verse... Maybe one day
Despite the great beat here, that gets completely overshadow by the lyrics. After 12 years I discovered this song I still consider it among the top classic
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day, put the pieces back together my way. That's exactly all I ever wanted to do
And I thought I was confused before I read the damn lyrics.
love this song still to this day. ❤
I feel really bad I judged this musician early on. Some of the most beautiful and clever lyrics I have ever heard.
this beat is perfect whether you feel up or down
I know..this poetry is unreal..Aesop will definitely be in the books of the most prestigious schools in the world..
Finally a lyric video done right
His voice kills it for me
i like when people put effort in their work . thank you for a good video of a great band ;)
His lyrics are like no other..I swear yo. 7 7 7
2021 ! And still bumpin my head to this!
Aesop Rock and Blockhead = Eargasm
Determining how many verses this song comprises is a philosophical debate and an exercise in questioning reality, but personally, for me, it really picks up in the 2nd verse starting @2:00
@callmecatalyst do you mean grammatically/spelling, or just the words of the song?
There y'all go. You know what's up here then? No further explanation needed. 🖖
props for throwing it up to common in the intro, "i used to love her" dope song!
Aesop Rock is very ambiguous. This is one of his best songs. My interpretation is that he wants people to wake up and see the light and be on the good side. This is what I like about Aesop ... he’s super abstract.
our forgetfulness is a blessing for most things but for songs like this i need a setting for “always at the forefront of my brain”
This song could make covid stop killing people if it had the ears to listen
A true hip-hop master piece Beethoven of lyrical development
both equally dope but on different levels.
i love this song so much! so smooth :)
Love this song!
This guy doesn't get the credit he deserves
ON SATAN 🙏🏻
Damn, and I thought DOOM's lyrics were complex...
It probably sounds cheesy and lame, but fuck it. I think about that line all the time if I'm feeling shitty about things in life and it honestly helps. It's such a meaningful and true line.
Looped this after a long night at 8h33
Fuck man I can NOT spit this whole song. Aes' flow is too ridiculous.. Can never get enough Aesop rock!
I'm happy to see other people here. Good artist
its about putting the pieces together his way. you may never understand it. but he does.
the best artist i ever heard
The Grand Architect listens to this at night before going to sleep
We, yes we, are getting to the 1.000.000 before 2020.
We called this "intelligent" rap back in the day.
There's something I find inspirational about this song
Aesop Rock doesn't get very much credit for how great of an artist he is, you said this song is very difficult to rap, was just adding too it lol.
Holy shit... Lyrics are absolutely on another level.
I love Aesop because even if you don't agree with him (and as a Christian, and a staunch conservative, we disagree quite often), you can still take so much from his music. Different perspectives or not, Aesop puts the words out for you to apply to your own thinking, whatever that may be. He also makes it clear that even if he doesn't agree, he respects all opinions. Raped the replay button! haha
2017 & we still here.
I have no clue what the fuck he's means with what he's saying 80% of the time but it must be amazing so I love it
@boywhogames He's saying that our dreams won't come true. In essence, we dream of material things and an easy, comfortable life. But for most people in the world, that will never happen. Life is hard and complex. We want to "pick apart the day and put the pieces back together [our] way" but we can't---it remains an unsolved puzzle. We will not have an easy escape (the lottery), so we will spend our whole lives struggling to figure out this puzzle. Our dreams will not take flight.
AESOP ROCK LONG ISLAND STAND UP
If you don't understand "I'm the odd one in the circle and do my own thing" this trail isn't for you.
