This song is forever in my heart. Im much older mentally and physically but everytime i listen to this song (which is seldom nowadays) I still always catch that spark, that feeling of the world being in my hands, so optimistic but indifferent of the bright future because it feels so good to be in that moment that you could be stuck there forever and you wouldn't mind. Maybe thats just what happens to me but thought I'd share. Thanks for reading, peace.
Some might not see this statement as true but the place it's coming from is even if you leave it because your a travelling mannn moving through places haha one love
As a child I used to think this was the orginal song. I still rememeber like 15 years ago, I was like 16, my elder brother left for college and i was acting tough like i want miss him. And when he left for the airport i listened to this song for an hour, im not a christian but i remember praying for his safe flight that day.
cada vez que estoy triste escucho está canción, me hace recordar a cuando empecé la secundaria y era un niño feliz que pasaba tiempo con sus amigos y patinaba a toda hora aguante mos def para toda la vida guachos
I first seen Mos when I was a kid and we was watching a new episode of Chappelle's Show back in like 2003 and him and Dave were cruising in Dave's Ride and Mos comes out with this Incredible Flow.
There is "I'm leaving" and "memories don't live..." both great songs. This version is harder to find. Love this song. Mos Def is one of my favorites... This video is pretty dope too.
I know your comment is years old, but ironically I always find this version when I try to download it. The one with memories is so much harder to get. It’s not even on spotify.
Listening to this when I'm leaving my girl in two days, after 4years together because I'm leaving my country and we will be over 3000km apart, our plans of living life they split up, it was getting harder and harder from month to month but I know she will have feelings for me and I will have for her, that's the saddest part of it. We will miss each other and I hope seeing her in years with smile on her face when I will visit.
Mos letting us know on this track that being a rapper isn't just about doing it b/c you love it, but they're trying to get paid and support their families as well. Can't be mad at that. Fortunate for Mos he's able to capitalize on his acting abilities for money and never compromises his music.
Somebody in 2018? This song is gold for me ,so much memories and this songs reminds me ,the all good shit what i've done , good video love that. Thumbs up 😎
I found it again, I remember seeing your amazing footage in Berlin with this song, and my statement still stands, this is the best video anyone has made to this day
@@GenuineAltruist I know--I don't know how it got so many likes. Most people say, "who's still listening in October," or "who's still listening in 2019," but my comment: "who's listening the day this song came out," is only good for one day, and that is the day this song was originally released. And since my comment wasn't posted until long after that day, it would never actually apply to anyone who reads it, making it the worst comment ever. But with that said, this song is great, and go ahead and like my shit anyways.
Still today is one of my favourite song, I think that's for the video, with this video you made me fall in love with the song.. congrats , always in playlist, especially when I travel.. !
Anybody know why I've been listening to this on a loop for the last two weeks?...... I can't stop....lol....... Now I know why. This is the best rendition. The editing! Full stop.
I remember i first listened to Mac's old version of this song, and then i started looking for other covers and came across this! I am officially a fan :D
Gotta appreciate the B-roll for one of Mos' (Mr. Yasiin Bey's) dopest, classic samples. Shout out to John Denver. Good music is good music. We just gotta L-I-S-T-E-N. Thanks for sharing. In peace.
İ have been listening to this every time i come back from Istanbul, sayin goodbye to my grandparents, still listen to it to remind me of them through lockdown, they both passed since the last time i saw them ♥️♥️
This video, as simple as it is is so artistic. It complements the mood of the song so well. This is the version of the song I always listen to/watch on youtube. Good work man.

Perfectly worded.
Thanks for sharing. It's difficult to put these kinds of emotions into words like you did sometimes.
Peace brother

That shit made me cry so hard, I have big dreams in this life and I wish to all the good people what I wish to myself.
Zakaria Chajia good luck

Today the president block fly from Brazil to América, but my dreams not over, never
Same every time I hear this
0:51 I love how the beat quiets down and gets simpler so you can hear Mos Def, just like a solo in jazz
@@duckdown4337 Right on

He was singing Close Edge off The New Danger
Scrolled through the comments and realized that Yasiin’s fans are all so polite ✌🏽

Butters S. Fuck off, if you don’t care then don’t comment and waste your time, it doesn’t look like you don’t care what everybody has to say ;)
I’m going through a similar situation, this song makes me feel grounded like everything is going to be just fine! Good vibes brother.
Right, unless she gets killed in a car accident, or her parachute doesn't open or something. It can happen.
