Thank you everyone so much for sharing the joy of FKJ. My 28 year old son lost his "10-year" battle with opiate addiction on Easter. My heart has been so broken ... so broken. Took awhile before I could even listen to music. Now, seven months later I begin my days with "10 Years Ago," and allow for the tiniest, still invisible hope that maybe some day I will find a reason to smile again. Hope you all have a blessed day.
Beverly, i cant say i know exactly what you're going thru... But I put my mom thru the same shit. I've been clean for 4 months now and things are looking up. I dont know you but I love you. I can't imagine how soul-shattering it is for you, but just know there's nothing you did wrong or could've done better. Opiate addiction is a struggle unlike anything else in the world. It takes it's grip on us and there's nothing ANYONE can do to help us til we're ready. I know it might sound dumb now but you can look up meeting locations near you for families of addicts/ NA meetings and you'll be shown more love and support there than you could ever imagine. Sometimes it helps to connect with people who actually understand what we're going through and have been there themselves. Its one of those things you can't really grasp unless you've experienced it yourself. Stay strong girl.
I normally don't respond to comments but all I will say is, you can do it. You are capable of much more than you think, even if it's just a simple smile. I believe in you
My brother was a pianist. He died last year at 42. As I listen to this I imagine us together again...being brothers...disagreeing on everything from the color of sand to the visibility of wind. But we always agreed on music. Sleep well big bro. I miss and love you man.
I've said it many times and i'll say it again, he isn't just the music. He is an entire aesthetic. His house, his outfits, his hair, all of it. He simply music that perfectly fits it all and its fuckin beautiful. Same with his wife.
@@felixmartinartifex8406 Amen mate. We should all try to achieve this in life in some way. Create an identity that's uniquely you. Your own sound, own voice, own culture, own identity.
This reminds me of last November. Taiwan, Noodle Bar, calm people and rainy weather. Suddenly I hear Ylang Ylang in the background. One of the best memories
This is beyond gorgeous in every way. This is a very significant EP for me - I listened to it at the end of a tough pregnancy, then gave birth to my second son in my bed listening to this on repeat, and now my elder son is saying, "Brother song?" while pointing at the now 7-month old baby who was born into this beauty. Just the best and most meaningful EP EVER.
That’s beautiful. My GF loves FKJ, we listen to this EP like 500 times, I picture her doing the same thing that you did. Hope your family and sons grow up happy
congratulations!! & what a lovely way to bring a 'new' soul into this crazy and beautiful world! your boys are very lucky to have you as their mother.🐣👶🍼🐤👼
Sun is shining right now. I’m alone with my doggo and vibing to this playlist in the garden. No clothes, no nothing. Only this masterpiece in the background. Life is good y’all. Life is good!
On call at the hospital and my phone isn't ringing for patients. So I'm sitting in the tea room on the first floor, by the window with the view of the parking lot, ear phones in. Sun just set in South Africa. And FKJ just made my evening
Every one knows it yet rarely expresses the nature, mannerisms, and or instances of there beautiful moments in which a Lovely vibe helps their mind, body, and soul! Put that together with an talented artist (on many fronts) like FKJ will have you wondering... when his ballets end... where did the time go or what happened to my anxiety!
When the intro for "risk" started, i was like.... Well, Bas aint here so..... Wait.... Ahhhhhhhh bloodclaat! FKJ yuh a di real general!!!! Nuff love from yaad!!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I posted back 3 yrs ago. It's 2025 now, and I still love FKJ's music. 3 yrs ago, I almost passed away as previously mentioned. My perspective hasn't changed after that journey with covid. My daughter is about to be 20. We are all so much better as a family. I hope all you find peace, love, and purpose. Don't be afraid to take a "RISK". God bless those who come across these words.
I remember listening to Ylang Ylang and 10 years later when they first released, I was beginning to talk to a girl I really liked. The songs made me think of her, a life with her, and it seemed ridiculous. A couple of weeks ago, I celebrated my one year anniversary with her. These songs will take me back to that time for years to come. A masterpiece.
Congrats bro, happy for you truly. Continue to love and cherish her for the Queen she is and reflect on this exact moment when times aren't always the easiest. Much love and success to you all.
FKJ is one of very few artist EVER to sound better Live than his Album versions. And I mean this with love and amazement. Dude is a genius musical creator.
It's hard to believe that my existence of stress, insecurity, frustration and depression exists in the same reality as the simple peace I feel when listening to this music. It really is transcendental, this music. It helps me see beyond the current state of my existence and to a place where I am genuinely in love with myself and life.
i deal with those things too. music is one of the only pure forms of expression we have that can help resolve those feelings ; even if only temporarily
To anyone reading this, I hope you find a quiet moment to breathe and let this music wash away your worries. Wishing you peace and joy, wherever you are 😍
The vibration of depth intriguing the melody to play along. A true enlightening and quite captivating pieces of art you've created. Blessings, Love, light, abundance and wellness
there's something so spiritual and ancient about FKJ's music, the beats and arrangements are modern but the vibe feels like something a lot older...like there's a spirit communicating with you directly through your soul and suddenly you are healed
to everyone who is doing homework, leave the chat, breathe slowly, take a sip of water, and focus to everyone who is trying to sleep, leave the chat, grab a blanket, and get the rest you deserve. to everyone who is feeling sad, grab a snack, get some water, get a blanket, and write down your thoughts. when you're done, lay down, and get some rest, no matter the time. to everyone who is drawing, you got this. you're art is amazing. keep your head up (or down, depends on where your paper is) and remember that you matter. i love you all
My wife and I got married on the beach (12/21/2020), just the two of us, we meditated together and then listened to this LP (our favorite), hugging, while we cried. Then we exchanged rings and declared ourselves to each other. Now whenever I hear any song from this LP I cry hahaha
His Live performance makes you feel like you've left the planet. Vibes truly unreal. My wife isn't much into music but even she felt out of this world during FKJs show. Anyone who listens to this adds at least a Year to their life. Magical!
Does anyone else have this incredibly comforting and nostalgic feeling and that you already know the melody of Ylang Ylang? It sounds so familiar like a distant memory of a past life. There's something seriously timeless about it. Absolutely Mint!
There has to be something it is reminding us of though I wonder where he took inspiration from to make it, if it's completely original that's insane the feelings it envokes
Words can’t express how happy I am to live in the same age than you. Watching you is without doubt, inspirational and I don’t know how you reach that level of creativity but I’m glad you did. Most people say you were born with that talent and as musician myself, I know, play the instruments is one thing but what to do with them is something totally different and then let your thoughts flow through them is one the most beautiful things on earth, it’s just art and that’s you, FKJ, brother you’re ART. Hope you can live many years doing music this great, you’re son’s God talking through music. MUCH LOVE!
FKJ. You are literally one of the most gifted musicians of our time. Of all time. I'm literally in awe of what you do. You got two scoops when God was handing out inspiration.
When this video was released, I was more than 3000km away home with my sicky mom in a little city called Barretos, in the state of São Paulo. I was there with mom, dad and brother to take care of her, since she has a rare type of cancer. These songs were and are every season a medicine for me. It remembers me my long bycicle journeys inside the city, which has extraordinary landscapes... Everytime I listen to it, my pace becomes slower and my heart emotional! Your music is just divine for us humans
Mano, não sei por quê, mas senti no coração que cê é um ser de luz e positividade, posso sentir os sentimentos por trás dessas palavras. Fica na paz irmão, aproveita o tempo com os seus e consigo mesmo. Que Jah te dê luz hoje e sempre!!!!
Anyone hanging out with me this lovely 21st of Dec '24 Saturday morn'? Mellow rain in NorCal, vibing on the covered deck, watching the woodland bird filled yard, FKJ gracing us with his genius...yes.🤘💙💚💙
To everyone reading this and listening. Close your eyes, inhale and feel the air in your lungs give life to your beautiful soul. and as you exhale, release the tension in your shoulders, ease the tension in your neck and the back of your head. Allow peace to flow inside of every fiber and vein in your body. You are doing great. No matter what you are going through. You will be just fine. Hugs to you all..
This happens when a person is authentic to him/herself and creates/does what his/her instinct tells them. Beauty is created. So many of us are afraid to be ourselves and follow artistic path...He is a proof you can be successful if you follow your heart ❤️
Foreigners: I apologise for my lack of linguistics skills, I also acknowledge that I must improve my English and I will put a large amount of effort into this task Native Speakers: *can't spell their, there, they're right
LOL the only thing you spelled wrong was "alot" and "Litterally". It should be "a lot" and "literally", but many English speakers mess that up too anyway.
When my mom passed, I listened to FKJ every night to sleep - the just piano album. Thank you FKJ for your comforting music that helped me in my dark moments!
The meaning of the last song: "The reason we were staying in the Ylang Ylang room at first was because we were expecting Ayla. She was a surprise and we embraced her. But life decided differently and she left us before she could take a breath in our world. We watched her gain life and we watched her lose it. We created a space for her physical body to leave her mother, a transparent yellow cloth surrounded by trees and candles. We would add rose petals around the space every evening until we reached 100 roses as a way for us to let go and say goodbye. It was a powerful moment, sad and beautiful at the same time" - FKJ I am sorry for your loss. You are grieving through your 100 hundred roses too.
I've introduced Fkj to people ranging from teens to 60s and nobody has ever said it was anything less than beautiful. This man has a gift, you can feel/hear it. Its a straight blessing to listen to a passion of this magnitude
@@pnonem666 yeahhh lmao just like thats what they said about Dance Gavin Dance when 'Whatever I Say..' came out. 10+ years later, still jamming. Music doesn't go away, goes into library for future pleasures, silly goose. So chill~~ (♡~♡)
Just found this dude and I love the energy he puts into his music. I can instantly tell he thoroughly enjoys creating it. I've been looking for another artist who does such a thing. Reminds me of Mac Miller, a true musician. Those are hard to come by nowadays. Much love
I always come back to re-watch this video to remind myself that life is far more important than sticking to a schedule. It's about being self expressive on everything you do and FKJ captures this beautifully and divinely. I hope some day to reach this level of musicianship.
My partner and I saw him live on Coachella 2023. We knew his music but never expericned his live music. Seeing him live blew our minds. We got transport to another dimension and only came back to the planet when the show was done. One of the best music experiences of my life. He knows who really is and is in touch with his soul utterly and entirely.
Last night I got the opportunity to see FKJ live at the Greek Theater with my wife, Surrounded by the beautiful pine trees. It was such a great vibe. Cheers to all of you listening to great music 🍻
I was there too, it was an absolutely amazing performance and I'm glad I didn't miss out, I just wish I brought my camera so I could have taken a couple of photos of him.
I've recently lost my mum, and have found myself immersed in your music more than ever. It provides a comfort and serenity that I simply cannot find anymore. Your music touches my soul and I cannot thankyou enough!
Hope this music provides you with the love needed to get to a better space I cant say sorry for your lost because she in a better place but i am sorry you had to experience that but it will get better bless
This version of ylang ylang (the song specifically) is a master class. It’s like being on the ocean floor and higher than the clouds at the same time. It’s simply beautiful.
I saw him this year, or wait... it could have been last year 🤔 times been a blur recently 😂 any-who, he was AMAZING, you should definitely see him live 💞
Im playing 20 years music and the key is 10000 hours of Training with realy love and focus and no force, just open your mind and Improvisation is also important and Brainttraining....and then you Feels like almost God....its incredible...yes....
I remember when this dropped last year. I was counting down the seconds, the anticipation was real. I still look forward to this every single time it starts playing.
Literally crying....I introduced my son to this video about a week ago because his dad and I are going to enroll him in piano lessons. He's my little music head ❤️
I can’t describe how much comfort I feel listening to this. It’s been such a terrible year for me especially my mental health and I’ve finally slowly felt like being myself again then I found ‘10 years ago’. I listen before going to sleep and when I wake up. The feeling I get while listening is like I’m being hugged by someone. So much comfort 💜
Thank you for sharing. 2020 has definitely been difficult for my mental health as well. It's wonderful how music can evoke so much emotions and being able to tune out to it is comforting. Wishing you well on your journey!

I was there with mom, dad and brother to take care of her, since she has a rare type of cancer.
These songs were and are every season a medicine for me. It remembers me my long bycicle journeys inside the city, which has extraordinary landscapes...
Everytime I listen to it, my pace becomes slower and my heart emotional!
Your music is just divine for us humans
Mano, não sei por quê, mas senti no coração que cê é um ser de luz e positividade, posso sentir os sentimentos por trás dessas palavras.
Fica na paz irmão, aproveita o tempo com os seus e consigo mesmo. Que Jah te dê luz hoje e sempre!!!!

@@cadumrqs7052 todos somos iluminados irmão, é saber deixar brilhar
He is in another level, shaping the future of (quality) music.
Yess He is 🔥
This man is healing the world and I’m not exaggerating. Much love
I wanna play with your hair 😁
Escucharlo , Llena todos mis sentidos
You are not exaggerating! Because I second this
Anyone hanging out with me this lovely 21st of Dec '24 Saturday morn'? Mellow rain in NorCal, vibing on the covered deck, watching the woodland bird filled yard, FKJ gracing us with his genius...yes.🤘💙💚💙
😊
To everyone reading this and listening. Close your eyes, inhale and feel the air in your lungs give life to your beautiful soul. and as you exhale, release the tension in your shoulders, ease the tension in your neck and the back of your head. Allow peace to flow inside of every fiber and vein in your body. You are doing great. No matter what you are going through. You will be just fine. Hugs to you all..
I'm trying but the slightly off beat clap at the end of the loop is killing me
very nice said, you speak from my lungs
so true, this is exactly how I feel when listening it
Yes! 🙏🕉️🌈
🫂
This happens when a person is authentic to him/herself and creates/does what his/her instinct tells them. Beauty is created.
So many of us are afraid to be ourselves and follow artistic path...He is a proof you can be successful if you follow your heart ❤️
This guy can litteraly play any instrument! Surely this will be nothing short of amazing...i think I spelled alot of that wrong.
*No spoken for truth*
Perfect! Well said :)
Foreigners: I apologise for my lack of linguistics skills, I also acknowledge that I must improve my English and I will put a large amount of effort into this task
Native Speakers: *can't spell their, there, they're right
LOL the only thing you spelled wrong was "alot" and "Litterally". It should be "a lot" and "literally", but many English speakers mess that up too anyway.
Literally.
But you were originally correct
love your music man
When my mom passed, I listened to FKJ every night to sleep - the just piano album. Thank you FKJ for your comforting music that helped me in my dark moments!
I'm sorry for your loss 🙏 May her soul rest in peace 🕊️
The meaning of the last song: "The reason we were staying in the Ylang Ylang room at first was because we were expecting Ayla. She was a surprise and we embraced her. But life decided differently and she left us before she could take a breath in our world. We watched her gain life and we watched her lose it. We created a space for her physical body to leave her mother, a transparent yellow cloth surrounded by trees and candles. We would add rose petals around the space every evening until we reached 100 roses as a way for us to let go and say goodbye. It was a powerful moment, sad and beautiful at the same time" - FKJ
I am sorry for your loss. You are grieving through your 100 hundred roses too.
I love this guy. He’s somewhat of a genius
*Agreed*
Somewhat... Ok ...
Agreeeeeee 😍👌🏼
He is, period! 😂
Yeah just somewhat😂
I've introduced Fkj to people ranging from teens to 60s and nobody has ever said it was anything less than beautiful. This man has a gift, you can feel/hear it. Its a straight blessing to listen to a passion of this magnitude
I'm saying
You won’t be listening to him in 2 years, chill
@@pnonem666 chill out hipster mc hipster pants lol, I see misery still loves company, good luck with that
@@pnonem666 yeahhh lmao just like thats what they said about Dance Gavin Dance when 'Whatever I Say..' came out. 10+ years later, still jamming.
Music doesn't go away, goes into library for future pleasures, silly goose. So chill~~
(♡~♡)
Just found this dude and I love the energy he puts into his music. I can instantly tell he thoroughly enjoys creating it. I've been looking for another artist who does such a thing. Reminds me of Mac Miller, a true musician. Those are hard to come by nowadays. Much love
Just survived hurricane Helene.
You don't know what a pleasure this is. Fabulous. Thank you.
Dreaming about laying in this room and get surrounded by nature and Fkj music filled in the soul!
Such a dream!
I always come back to re-watch this video to remind myself that life is far more important than sticking to a schedule. It's about being self expressive on everything you do and FKJ captures this beautifully and divinely. I hope some day to reach this level of musicianship.
Can we talk about how aesthetic the place is like wow
i look the same...
@@Veritassimplex good for u. Pop off 🖤
yeah its really graceful. calming, the sort of place you would go alone to just clear your mind. real therapeutic
Where is this place though? so beautiful, looks like a south asian island village. I heard a rooster sound before the music starts.
I don't understand why it's not a first comment on top.
listning to FKJ’s music makes me feel like the precious human being that i am. i feel so soft i often cry
He is the Bob Ross of music
Yessssss a painting 🎨 of 🎶!
I'm gonna play this happy little instrument over here and it'll just be our little secret.
@@aaronloftin7663 here's another friend for this happy little tree
Everybody needs a friend
Such a brilliant comment.
I concur
My partner and I saw him live on Coachella 2023. We knew his music but never expericned his live music. Seeing him live blew our minds. We got transport to another dimension and only came back to the planet when the show was done. One of the best music experiences of my life. He knows who really is and is in touch with his soul utterly and entirely.
I was there !! Exact same feeling. Forever changed. One of the best I’ve seen. You put it perfectly into words.
Last night I got the opportunity to see FKJ live at the Greek Theater with my wife, Surrounded by the beautiful pine trees. It was such a great vibe. Cheers to all of you listening to great music 🍻
I was at that same concert
It must have been beautiful, especially at Greek Theatre.👍💯
I just got tix to see him in Portland, can't wait :')
@@Bigbadpandaa Lucky! I've always wanted to feel the vibe out there. Enjoy! 🙂 🥂
I was there too, it was an absolutely amazing performance and I'm glad I didn't miss out, I just wish I brought my camera so I could have taken a couple of photos of him.
This sounds so divine and tranquil, it feels like days off from long hours of working..
This guy always surprising everyone... He is just the best
P.S. BAS was killin it as well
Can’t believe I get to watch this for free
that part
The best things in life are free!
your times is precious man! you have good taste.
I've recently lost my mum, and have found myself immersed in your music more than ever. It provides a comfort and serenity that I simply cannot find anymore. Your music touches my soul and I cannot thankyou enough!
💞💞💞💞
Sorry for your lost ...so much love from here
Hope this music provides you with the love needed to get to a better space I cant say sorry for your lost because she in a better place but i am sorry you had to experience that but it will get better bless
@@FiyahB8959
Reading your words this morning ..just made my day
God is love 🧚🏻♂️🤍🌷
Brother, this isn't an EP.... This is art in music form.... Blown away....
When I saw Bas I immediately smiled. I was like, "YES IT'S HAPPENING!" Absolutely beautiful stuff gentlemen.
This version of ylang ylang (the song specifically) is a master class. It’s like being on the ocean floor and higher than the clouds at the same time. It’s simply beautiful.
Well said. Most under rated comment on TH-cam.
Dejala marijuana 😂
How about this version of 100 Roses with that crazy solo on the keys?
true, his fingers were more playful than in the original.
お風呂に入っている時に聞くととても贅沢な気分になります。シンプルなメロディなのに緑の感じも心地よさも伝わって幸せになる曲たち。
Talent, execution, soul, perfection, a true story teller
I swear I could cry from this feeling of joy , peace and happiness your music brings
FKJ has some of the most impressive live performance videos around. It's more than music and transcends art, they each become their own vibe.
The day I can see this guy perform live, will be the day everything is ok
Just a croud vibin out and living for the moment wow looking foward to see him live if I get the chance
Same here 🙏🏽
I can’t wait
I saw him live last year. Everyone was jamming out and vibing the entire time. Best live performance I've ever seen.
Kyle Hustead I agree with you! I saw him two years ago, it still give me goosebumps to remember it. High vibes.
I saw him this year, or wait... it could
have been last year 🤔 times been a blur recently 😂 any-who, he was AMAZING, you should definitely see him live 💞
My new favorite artist ❤. I'm enamored with his talent. #vibe
finding these melodies made me feel something that I had never felt before. Supernatural and magical. 🌿
1000% true
He does do a excellent job grabbed me from the get go
You’re high
Might be but still have a ear for excellence
amen
Still can’t understand how you can be this talented
Its called hard work
Tillmann Cook it’s called passion
@@orlando_98 yes hard work and passion
Im playing 20 years music and the key is 10000 hours of Training with realy love and focus and no force, just open your mind and Improvisation is also important and Brainttraining....and then you Feels like almost God....its incredible...yes....
@@arthurerx3194 cant agree more !
These plants are having the time of their lives!!
Ha! I agree.☺️
😍😍😍😍😍😍
The quality of the sound of your music is divine 🥰 the small Bluetooth speaker that we have feels every bit of the bass, treble and tone 😎👍🏽🔊💜
I remember when this dropped last year.
I was counting down the seconds, the anticipation was real.
I still look forward to this every single time it starts playing.
I played this youtube in my pocket and took a walk behind my daughter in the light rain. It was a special time.
I feel grateful to live in this generation where I could listen to FKJ's beautiful masterpiece by myself.
I keep coming back to this because of the CALMNESS it brings to my conciousness... Thank you so much FKJ ❤❤❤
I’m so grateful my son will one day grow up and say. “This is what me and Dad listened too when I was young.” Thank you so much.
Literally crying....I introduced my son to this video about a week ago because his dad and I are going to enroll him in piano lessons. He's my little music head ❤️
Fax same here brother🖤
@@marissamorrison5875how the classes going?
or maybe "I was conceived to this song." ?
I can’t describe how much comfort I feel listening to this. It’s been such a terrible year for me especially my mental health and I’ve finally slowly felt like being myself again then I found ‘10 years ago’. I listen before going to sleep and when I wake up. The feeling I get while listening is like I’m being hugged by someone. So much comfort 💜
Haha wow well said
Hope the rest of the year is better to you 💪🏼💜
Isaac Ezac aww thank u. I hope it’ll be better for u too 🥰
Thank you for sharing. 2020 has definitely been difficult for my mental health as well. It's wonderful how music can evoke so much emotions and being able to tune out to it is comforting. Wishing you well on your journey!
WhosIggy thank you, I wish you’d do well too 😊
this place is like the perfect mix between cozy, clean, and calming
godly
heavenly
No me canso de oirlo...
It's not too often you see an artist who EMANATES creativity and expression directly from their soul
Fkj You already kno💯 thank you
th-cam.com/video/DUDHtH1iV6I/w-d-xo.html
Today ... Smile😄
A random guy was walking in the forest... He found a room filled with instruments, luckily he was a musician.
Serendipity in the full sense of the word🥰👌🏾
then a random black guy appeared
Love you dude
And so lucky for us, there was electricity and recording equipment in that forest discovery, too!
I love after the first minute of vocals he adds that sax, it was the perfect follow up
Absolutely talented 💯🎼🎛️🎹
This is the fist video I’ve played on repeat since high school. FKJ is the soundtrack of my life.
Fkj's music to me also feels like drinking a hot cup of chamomile tea. So soothing🍵
tes musiques sont plus légères qu'une plume et autant claires qu'une rivière, elles nous transportent dans ton univers, j'adore juste
