my cat used to really love hearing this song when i would listen to it, now that she's gone the lyrics, melody, and visuals have such an effect on me now she was a gray tuxedo cat with "white gloves" too.. RIP Yoshi 2005-2024
2 years ago I was having a hard time in my life, I was heartbroken and lost, and I was listening to this sweet and soothing song all day long, which made me feel better. Now I listen to it again, I'm 16 000 kilometers from where I was back then, and I feel way better now. Never give up, it may take time but you can move on.
im sitting on my balcony watching the street life below.. .. the sun is setting ... im drinking a beer and smoking a cigarette ... just sitting and contemplating life ... most importantly .i am listening to this ... its so damn perfect !
First time I ever heard of this band was when they opened up for Chicano Batman back in 2018 in Seattle. This was the first song that I heard them play. The lights were dim and blue. I stood there with tears running down my face. I've never had that happen to me. Such a beautiful memory. I've been a fan since 💙
Song reminds me of my mom who died from luekemia... I liken the white gloves to white blood cells, and I remember isotoner driving gloves were always on her christmas list. She did so much for so many people and really was a fighter in that sense. To conquer her own demons and double her efforts for others. Beautiful song.
For me too, this song is about my mom, who died of leukemia last year. It was her third cancer, she even overcame the Covid she got in the hospital that year. She was a total fighter, of the best sort; her name means “Queen” in Latin. Doesn’t matter if the song was written about a cat, as others have pointed out (probably). It’s about the beauty of life’s will to live, and our love for those that have gone - cats, humans, living loving loved creatures. Gorgeous…makes me cry.
The first time I heard this masterpiece... I felt connected to the sound and to the lyrics... I was feeling something but I rejected to continue thinking about it... She was a Queen. She was a fighter. She died in a fight. Fighting for her health. She wanted to get better to be able to see her son again... We were separated due to the dictatorship in my country. I had to leave the country to look for my dreams and she supported every steps I made... She left yesterday... Classy lady until the end. My biggest love. My mom. Always with me. Thanks for this song Khruangbin
Wow... thank you for sharing your story. My mom died in 1994 after fighting several years with HIV. My grandmother died a year after we discovered she had multiple myeloma - cancer in her spine. My dad, my uncle... they all died from from illness so I feel your pain. May your mom's Spirit be at peace in heaven. And may your heart find peace knowing she's just a prayer away. God bless
I too am reminded of my amazing mom when listening to this beautiful song. Your comment brought me to tears... but it wasnt tears of sadness it was tears of happiness and appreciation. I am happy that you had such an awesome mom and may she rest in peace in your heart.
She was a queen. She had a house. She was a fighter. She was a queen. Had a good dude. Brought me a rabbit. She was a queen. Wearing white gloves. But she kept 'em clean. Classy Lady. But she wasn't quiet. She was a queen. One day she was gone. She died in a fight. 'Cause she was a fighter. She was a queen. She was a queen.
I think about songs to play at my funeral too! However, this song specifically, i put on a USB drive and burried it with a letter for one of my ex girlfriends. For her to find in the future.. humans are weird.
Just realize that life will never be all good times-or bad times, for that matter. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but age and experience will make that “pill” easier to take. Knowing that problems in life are inevitable can make them not as devastating when they do eventually & definitely materialize. You’ll just get better at dealing with things because you’re prepared in a way, if that makes sense. Fortunately, and this is not to glamorize struggle, but you can’t really learn much about yourself if you only had “good times”. That may sound pessimistic, but it’s the truth. And as they say “truth hurts”. But in a good way! Just trust that whatever life hands you is for a reason, even if you never figure out that reason, because who really ever gets all the answers to everything?!
My ex-girlfriend loved this song because she thought the lyrics were beautiful. When she left me I didn't think anything was real anymore and I started to hate myself a bit. This song is one of the few things that make me feel okay again and it means so damn much to me. She means so damn much to me.
It's only a few songs that made me shed tears the 1st time I heard them in all my 48 years. This song is one of them. Food for the soul. Powerful music.
Probably one of my favorite songs, besides Zionsville. This song is like taking a stroll on a cold, winter's night, as you're longing to find yourself in the midst of a crazy world. The notes of the guitar just hits so close to home in this one!
I'm trying to cover the song but every time I try I start crying... This song reminds me of my mom and everything that she is and does. This song helped me appreciate her deeper than I ever thought I could. Thanks you Khruangbin for this amazing peace of art
only been listening to khruangbin for a few months now, and with each listen I become that much more excited for the Philly show in March! I can hardly wait :)
It's nice to hear new music, that is music you have never heard before. These artists prove that music does not have to be trippy to take you places emotionally
The first time I heard this song my ex girlfriend was in the arms of mine, we were discussing the past and how we’d felt so alone without each other and we broke down crying. Now I can’t stop listening to it even though I think of her every time; such a beautiful song
This song completely ensnares me, I just lose all notion of time and space while I play it, I transport into my most inner thoughts for the duration of it.
How bittersweet... i always feel like I'm in a movie when i listen to this song... like i should have my arms wide open and stand in a rooftop car....and just feel.
I'm talking to this guy and we started off as friends with benefits. I fell hard and now he is moving away. It's unrealistic to do long distance but we both know that. I play this as we cuddle. Thanks for the memories.
This group is so good I keep listening to this song it's so good. I hopped on my bike and just cruised slow listening to this. it's great, if I had a nice classic car I'd have my shades on and be listening to this. That'd be chill.
i found this amazing song on touching bass (NTS #002 20 august 2016 ) i just wanted to thank the artists on this tune. aside from being a very Mello and affective tune, the Unison of the voices singing together so beautiful yet simple. This song reminds me so much of my grandmother she's no longer here but this song is very comforting again thank you!
I can't stop listening to this song!!! I feel transported to a place where everything is still and life for a moment takes a whole different meaning. Thank you so much for this
I cried really hard at this song while on shrooms. I just cannot describe the feeling. It is otherworldly. It reminds me of how beautiful life is, as it is, with every clumsy creature in it. All things are taken for granted.
i remember i was introduced to this song a little after my cat of 11 years unexpectedly passed away. i always felt so sad when i listened to this but i never understood why until i looked at the background of the song and learned this was about a cat. now i struggle to listen to this because it became his song. he was a special little boy.

Right now, I am sitting at my work desk and remembering, with a smile on my face and sadness in my heart, some of the most beautiful moments I had with a woman I knew. She is still out there, a fighter, a queen, going strong. Take care, dear...
Listening to this 9th November 2022 full moon tonight cant help but wonder how we can all be listening to the same amazing tune and observing the same moon pass us by in the night sky like a big white ball sailing through universe and saying hello and goodnight 😘😘
im brazilian, i like blues and jazz and rock and I have recently discovered you, you are amazing congratulations for making music so authentic and original. Long life for you
