Laurindo Almeida - The Lamp Is Low 

been listening to aruarian dance for years and never found the original until now. nujabes versions hits different but this is also a masterpiece.

"The first to apologize, is the bravest." "The first to forgive, is the strongest." "And the first to forget, is the happiest." "Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness." "But because you... Deserve peace."

My gran-dad went to Brazil and met Laurindo in person! He told that he heard this song in the 50s or 60s I forgot but he told it wasn’t that famous back then he heard it on a radio along brazilliance 1 & 2.he was so interested to find who the artist was so asked the driver “who is he?”The driver answered “our laurindo almeida” and the funny thing was when he stepped out the vehicle he saw laurindo!he still remembers that day and I managed to by all of laurindo records and gave it to my gran-dad as a gift.His favorite song was”the lamp is low”.

During my last semester of high school, I remember I’d wake up at 05:30 every morning to study before going to school. I’d make myself a cup of coffee, open my curtains and just sit in my room and study while listening to this song. I didn’t do this because I cared about getting the best grades or anything like that, but there was just something about feeling the sunrise on my back, that warm coffee, that special nicotine buzz you get in the morning, and of course this song, that made it all so special. I know I’ll never forget that feeling, or this song

2:02 hits like a breezy night

“Regret won’t change yesterday Anxiety won’t change tomorrow Focus or fixing the imperfect present”

"You wish to be kind, so you are tested with negativity. You wish to be strong, so you are tested with weakness, You wish to love, so you are tested with loneliness." "You have to realize..." "What comes easy won't last." "And what lasts won't come easy." Edit: Thanks for 700 likes brothers.

As a brazilian, I never knew that the original song from Nujabe's Aruarian Dance was a song from my country. I'm amazed.

thought it would be fun to share my personal experience in discovering this song: I was in a TF2 server on the map nucleus with some friends and someone was micspamming music; we begged the guy behind said micspamming to tell us the name of the current song he was playing. it turned out to be Lady Brown by Nujabes. this was my first exposure to the legend, and I'll never forget listening to his music for the rest of that night. fast forward a few years, I eventually learned that Nujabes actually had sampled many artists for his songs (was literally not into hip-hop at all before this) and looked into said samples. I discovered the lamp is low right away as aruarian dance was my favorite Nujabes song. I was surprised that it wasn't uploaded to youtube and quickly remedied this problem. all in all, I'm pretty glad I happened to be in that TF2 server at that time. thanks, TF2 micspammer.

The compression on the guitar is silky smooth, always thought nujabes compressed the sample but now I hear the original and it's a true beauty

Took me 9 years to find this masterpiece. To anyone seeing this comment,wether 1 day or 1 year after it was posted,please dont let this masterpiece die out.

2:02 Is so perfect 👌

2:02 this melody is what got me to start practicing playing the guitar.

Aurarian dance has been my ringtone for like 4 years now I love this song 🥺

A message to the future generations: Don't let this song die.

This melody reminds me of my dead dog. He died last monday. He was a labrador, he was black, he was a king, he was my best friend. This is now our favourite song, we usually listen to this masterpiece in front of his tombstone, and every single time we listen to this I hear the grass all around his tombstone prance like his hearth. Can't believe he died so young, rest in piece, Zeus. ❤

This song made me realize how happy I'm without enemies

Never delete this video or your channel, we must preserve this gem of a song that continues to grow amongst others enjoying this piece of art.

_"Life is too hard man, I wish it was easier..."_ *"Brother."* *"You want to be kind, so you are tested with negativity."* *"You want to be strong, so you are tested with weakness."* *"You want to love, so you are tested with loneliness."* *"You have to realize..."* *"What comes easy won't last."* *"And what lasts won't come easy."*

This song makes me feel a warm feeling inside as if this song were made of love and care. It’s an overall masterpiece

From 1:38 you can imagine your whole year, recap your bad and good moments. Then at 2:02, think about the present, where you are, how you are in peace, listening to this song. It gives me goosebumps, just beautiful.

Remember, Dead people only receive more flowers than the living... Because regret is more common than gratitude. Accept what is. Let go of what was. And have faith in what will be. As long as you feel pain... you're still alive. As long as you make mistakes... you're still human. As long as you keep trying... there's still hope.

This song saved me from being depressed and I believe I could make my life better for the rest of my life and can feel there is a hope in bad situations. Thanks for creating this song.

This really hits hard when your on a late night drive and the moon is just there in the sky (Im not good at phrasing stuff but ill try my best, what i mean is when your on a late night drive and the moon is just out while listening to it) Ex: like a full moon is out and your listening to this

1:59 "Escute com atenção, Thorfin, você não tem inimigos..ninguém tem, ninguem nesse mundo merece ser machucado"

“If a man knows not which port he sails, no wind is favorable.” - Seneca

I always see people hold onto nostalga, wishing "Oh I wish I wish I could go back!" Back when life was simple, back when you were a child, carefree. But you can't go back, and you shouldn't. You still have to live, you still have to learn, you will learn pain, grief, depression, and you will learn healing, hope and wisdom. Keep growing, its hard as hell, but you have to. Keep your head held high, you have to.

This song encourages me to romanticize my life. Even during the lazy days when I’m reading on my balcony for hours or cleaning my house.

Nujabes always give us good music from the most outstanding artist... R.I.P Seba Jun.

“You don’t need to be forgived if you feel sad or bad for what you did, regretting will not change the future or the past so just continue with no worries you’ll be fine.”

“It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.” - Marcus Aurelius

I have no enemies

goddamn this is getting a lot of views lately. not sure why, but I'm happy people are discovering this damn masterpiece.

“External things are not the problem. It’s your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.” - Marcus Aurelius

This song is reminding me of my mother R.I.P Mother❤

I absolutely love this song, i hope it never dies, and as always " I have no enemies "

"forget about the past, leave it all behind, dont stress over the future it hasn't arrived yet, live in the present and make it beautiful"

This song always makes me feel at peace

'i need friends i cant do it alone" "You wanted to be strong so life gave you challenges" "You wanted to be brave so life gave you monsters" "You wanted to be independent so life gave you loneliness" "You recieved everything you wished for but life also gave you things that you didnt want."

I came from Nujabes, and I knew this was, somehow, a version of Pavane. Great comment section, and great piece!!

saber que foi um brasileiro que compôs essa obra de arte, me faz ter orgulho do meu país novamente.

It really is amazing how this music takes me to exactly where I want to be.

Coming here after listening to Aruarian Dance is like seeing episodes of an old show you didn’t know existed.

1:57 is so gooooood

2:00 feels like a good weekend without having to fight anyone, no disgraces, everyone having fun, just peace, with everyone you love; aesthetic.

A moment of silence for those who still can't find this masterpiece......

Listen to me carefully, you have no enemies, no one has enemies, no one in this world has enemies, you make enemies.

Back in the days I lost my girlfriend in a car accident, and during that time, I found solace and equanimity in this song. It took on a new meaning for me as I navigated the difficult path of forgiveness. Letting go of anger and resentment wasn't easy, but I realized it was essential for my own healing and surely she would want me to forgive him. I can honestly say that forgiving this man has brought me peace and allowed me to remember my girlfriend in a more positive light. This song will always remind me of her and all the time we've spent together. Truly, the "I have no enemies" song. We will meet once again one day, Noela 🖤

I never knew, but im a saxophone player and my instructor at the time was friends with a man who gave us a peice he was working on the play, it was just titled lullaby #3 but I loved it so much, and he was a very kind man, he died a few years later though sadly in Los Angeles, and my instructor kept the peice as a memory of his friend, one of the most beautiful pieces I had ever seen. Years upon years later I find this song, and it sounds hauntingly familiar... it was lullaby #3 exactly, and his name is posted right there on the title, I never knew he published it since I only met him the one time but finding this years later brought me to tears, I don't know why, the world is small, I only met you once but your songs carry life Laurindo, I hope your happy where you are

Time comes, time goes..

"The first to apologise is the bravest, the one who apologises last, is the one who reflected deeply upon the actions, an open minded easy spirit, and a spirit that thinks deeply, these two seem like polar oposites, yet they balance eachother out perfectly, Yin and Yang."

I love the fact that it took almost a century and like 4 to 6 different writers and artists to get to the end result of Aurarian dance. The guitar is just played so smooth, music truly is amazing

Do not be sad its over, be happy it happend The memories you made, the laughter you had. They will always be with you. For when a butterfly lands on you, its an angel. They love you forever. Remember that, whoever it is, they love you.

Sit down traveller, you have been running for too long. Now it's time to rest peacefully and let this tear finally come across your cheek. Don't hide you feelings, there is no need for this, at least now, with all of us. Take off your armour, take a seat with us and have a nice cup of tea. You're at home, finally❤

Bro idk why but this is giving me nostalgic vibes

This song prolly gon make me cry the second im not in public. It makes me feel so nostalgic for no reason. I remember back to when life was easy asf and me and my friend went out every day. I remember back to that train we found in the woods. I remember not feeling like shit everyday. Yup, I was right, im crying now.

2:01 the part before the main sample, oh my god it feels like finding a missing piece to your life you never knew you left out

"I Have No Enemies."

That’s what we call art not the painting of the Mona Lisa I’m not any other art but this song is what we call the overlord of art The song can have multiple meanings if you’re sad if makes you feel like your truly happy and if you’re angry this can just take a piece of your mind to another world and if you’re happy this song is gonna make you happier❤

2:08 "Nobody in this entire world deserves to get hurt"

i actually cried to this song. this is truly a masterpiece.

No tienes enemigos Nadie tiene enemigos Nadie merece ser herido

Life is harder when you believe it can’t be worse, but, if you believe everything can get better, it will

"I have no enemies"

This is the most peaceful song ive ever heard. Its so calm and... Relaxing. Hearing to it makes me kinda comfortable and ready for a change. I feel more alive somehow This is a masterpiece, idk who did it but that guy deserves props

For instagram/tiktok people discovering this song the sample is at 2:02. I remember discovering this song when I watched samurai champloo and Nujabes sampled this song into aruarian dance, but funny enough this isnt the original song, this was sampled by the same name from 1939.

Today, january 24th, 2024, 1:35 AM is the exact minute, hour, day month and year I am turning 13. A few days ago, for fun, I felt like making a python calculator using tkinter. Idk why, just one of those little projects I do to teach myself and test my knowledge. Today, I finished it. I feel like ive made my first actually useful python program that I actually feel like im going to use. I feel like a part of me is complete now, because of both that, and my 13th birthday, and my bar mitzva coming up in 3 days. If you read until here, thank you very much for taking your time to. I wish you nothing but happiness and laughter

I’ve heard this song in many RU-vid shorts, I just now decided to listen to the whole song. I don’t know why but I started crying about halfway through, what a beautiful song.

Laurindo's Classical Current is truly breathtaking. One of the things I love the most about my country, regardless of its numerous geopolitical and economical problems, is its cultural and musical richness. Artists like Caetano Veloso, Tom Jobim, Adoniran Barbosa and many others bring so much joy to my ears.

"I have no enemies" -a wise person

“No person has the power to have everything they want, but it is in their power not to want what they don’t have, and to cheerfully put to good use what they do have.” - Seneca

“There is no point in constantly regretting your past. You can’t change your past, but you can learn from it to make the present a better time and shape your future”

Never regret a day in your life. Good days gives happiness, Bad days gives experience, Worst days gives lessons and the best days gives memories.

You remember in the summer 2023

Don’t EVER let your short term sadness ruin your long time happiness

You deserve peace. You deserve happiness. *you deserve no enemies*

This song just tells me everything is gonna be okay.

I’m a rock music type of guy but i love listening to these type of music every once in a while.

As a guitarist, the only thing I need is learn how to play this song. It reminds me that I should don't have enemies. Life is one, be happy.

Belgian shepherd was here and left message. This butterfly is still on me.

“Choose not to be harmed - and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed - and you haven’t been.” - Marcus Aurelius

Even if I’ve struggled to put up with my past relationships with everyone I ever met and even struggle to feel happy or safe with my own mother, sometimes I forget that the real way to enjoy this random life is to stop thinking. And songs like this further solidify it.

this song makes me feel an emotion i have never felt before

“If it is not right, do not do it, if it is not true, do not say it.” - Marcus Aurelius

"You have no enemies at all... Friend"

It is amazing how this song led to so much inspiration later down the line. Art truly is a synthesis

This recent year has been such a learning experience for me, I’ve gone from depressed and too shy to look up when outside, I am now comfortable with talking to strangers and have made new friends and lost old friends, became less stressed with school and I’m starting to practice for volleyball again but recently I feel as if i have lost a part of me, I can’t hold conversations anymore and I feel like I’m not myself along with losing energy to exercise and train, and I don’t know why it happened, but this song has allowed me to take a breather and ignore the problems and just go over and think about my life this is truly a masterpiece

If im waking up to this, im gonna get up happy and energetic. No getting up late, just getting up straight away.

no matter how happy i am this song will always make me cry

I could literally listen to this song all day and not get sick of it😭

Its funny that I searched this song through a Roblox game about fighting Kaijus. This song is the game's lobby music and everytime it plays after a really intense match, it just hits you like a breezy day. When I listen to this alone, I feel like crying.

Pov : you have no enemies

"Ouvistes que foi dito: Amarás o teu próximo, e odiarás o teu inimigo. Eu, porém, vos digo: Amai a vossos inimigos, bendizei os que vos maldizem, fazei bem aos que vos odeiam, e orai pelos que vos maltratam e vos perseguem." -Palavras do Senhor.

tomorrow is a mystery, yesterday is history and today is a gift that is why it is called the present - master oogway

Your probably not going to see this but if you do or don’t just know that your worth it, your efforts are not in vain, your life is not worthless, and you are loved by me❤️❤️❤️

This reminds me of my grandmother that passed away 2 years ago. I miss her🤎😞

These melody are just feeling like it’s bringing my dogs back to life, sadly that’s not gonna happen but let’s be proud that this songs just brings our memories back as always when we listens to this, thanks to the artist who made this song for us❤

It's funny. the whole "no enemies" meme is just another joke, but it actually changed the way i see some things. In the end, the message is fully true. Nobody is your enemy. Violence is never the answer. This saying truly made me realize that hating things for no reason is just wrong. I dont want enemies, and i dont need enemies.

"When you look in the mirror, you see yourself and not an enemy, so don't hate the person you see on that side."

Songs like this should never be forgotten
