Nu Deco Ensemble & Kishi Bashi - I Am the Antichrist to You 

The Rick and Morty love is very real! Thank you all for checking out our collaboration with the brilliant Kishi Bashi.

grateful that Rick and Morty introduced me to this, this is gold

i will never forget seeing kishi bashi perform in the tiniest central florida bar with a crowd of maybe 50 people a few years back, i paid $7 to hear some life-changing music and i didn't even realize it at the time. he's truly amazing live, his voice is flawless

1 MILLION VIEWS of "I Am the Antichrist to You" with Kishi Bashi and Nu Deco Ensemble! Thank You to Everyone who has watched!! We are so grateful this video has become so special for the many fans of the Rick and Morty show as well as our close collaborator Kishi Bashi!

Kishi’s music delivers dramatic punch to this amazing episode and we are beyond thankful and blessed the world has embraced this music so much! We hope you continue to enjoy all our releases on RU-vid and Bravo to Kishi for creating such beautiful music which resonates with so many!

Imagine what it was like to be in that room during this performance.

I'm very impressed by his live singing. It almost sounds like a pre-recorded track, simply because it's so spot-on.

I honestly do not know how the people that we see sitting at this venue are not crying. I think I've watched this on repeat roughly 11 times, and I still cannot hold back my tears from the absolute melancholy majesticness of this composition. This truly is the most beautiful thing that I've ever heard.

4:55 the synchronisation and passion between Bashi and his first seat is truly beautiful

Maybe this will get more views after tonight as it was just used on Rick and Morty. Such an incredible song.

Been following this guy for almost a decade, so happy he's finally getting the attention he deserves.

5:05 that transition is straight fire.

For those who are wondering why the song seems so unpredictable, (and for slight music theory nerds) the song switches between what I make out to be four different time signatures. 4/4, 3/4, 6/4 and 5/4. I think this really sells the floaty feeling of the song. What is EXTREMELY impressive, is how the entire orchestra is locked in on this like machines. Usually, it's the drummers job to keep the subdivisions in check, but since there are no drums here the violinists and flute players take that role. If even one person had started or ended a beat too soon, everyone would notice. Just goes to show that the people picked to play here are not only all very good at their own specific instruments, but also understanding the song as a whole. Band members that have an interest in this, are rare to find.

A straight 6 minutes of chills. This song gave me the flu.

this is quite literally the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

My ex and I wanted our wedding dance to be to this song. He left me three months ago, I love him still. I came here to cry.

Who are you? Who am I to you? I am the antichrist to you Fallen from the sky with grace Into your arms race Lucid lovers me and you A deal of matchless value I was always quick to admit defeat Empty statements of bones and meat And my heart it shook with fear I'm a coward behind a shield and spear Take this sword and throw it far Let it shine under the morning star Who are you? Who am I to you? I am the antichrist to you Fallen from the sky with grace Into your arms race One for my heart and two for show Three tears for all the souls below One day we turned them into figurines Burned them all with all my favorite things Who are you? Who am I to you? I am the antichrist to you Fallen from the sky with grace Into your arms race Who are you? Who am I to you? I am the antichrist to you Fallen from the sky with grace Into your arms...

"She's gone, I loved her so much"

This song has made me feel feelings that I haven’t felt in years. Thank you Rick and Morty for showing me this song and thank you Kishi Bashi and Nu Deco Ensemble for such an amazing effort in this performance.

My fiancé surprised me with tickets to see Kishi live in Asheville NC. We made the 7 hour drive just to see him last Saturday. The entire crowd was crying, I was bawling. Everything is live and Kishi’s voice really is as good as it is in his recorded tracks and in this video. This man has amazing control over his voice and is one of the most humble artists. He had the crowd dancing, he made jokes, he had conversations with us. I cannot express enough how amazing of a concert he hosts. And my god this song live…

Lyrically, for me, this resonates with love lost, how we view those we no longer have and how we view ourselves through their eyes. Heartbreakingly beautiful.

This consistently blows me away every time. That voice with the pizzicato and sound of that hall is a match made in heaven.

I find it amazing that 99% of people who commented here have heard just a glimpse of this beautiful song at the end of R&M and came searching for the source. How powerful is this song !!

"One for my heart and two for show Three tears for all the souls below One day we made them into figurines Burned them all with all my favorite things" Dear Lord the poetry. 😭

The most enjoyable episodes in Rick and Morty arent the scifi adventures but the Stories of the Characters and their development and decisions.

This song breaks your heart in all the right places. I can’t stop listening to it. And yes I’m here after hearing it in the Rick and morty episode. I love when something as ridiculous as Rick and Morty can take a left turn and just break your heart in two. Beautiful song. Just pure beauty. Ugh, my heart

Lyrics if anyone cares. Who are you? Who am I to you? I am the antichrist to you Fallen from the sky with grace Into your arms race [Verse 1] Lucid lovers me and you A deal of matchless value I was always quick to admit defeat Empty statements of bones and meat And my heart it shook with fear I'm a coward behind a shield and spear Take this sword and throw it far Let it shine under the morning star [Chorus] Who are you? Who am I to you? I am the antichrist to you Fallen from the sky with grace Into your arms race [Verse 2] One for my heart and two for show Three tears for all the souls below One day we made them into figurines Burned them all with all my favorite things [Chorus] Who are you? Who am I to you? I am the antichrist to you Fallen from the sky with grace Into your arms race Who are you? Who am I to you? I am the antichrist to you Fallen from the sky with grace Into your arms...

This is hands down the best version for this song, and it is a LIVE recording 😮

I've just found this through tiktok and I cannot put into words how I feel. This is the most incredible music performance I've ever heard. I would do anything to hear this live 😭

She’s gone, mom. I loved her so much.​😭

Holy shit I was so caught off guard to hear this in R&M

My Sister brought me here. She was brought here by Rik & Morty. 🕯️🌹

The passion and joy in his face whilst singing the last chorus

The pure joy on his face, with the orchestra doing a stunning job on his song

I think this is the song you hear while ascending to heaven

When I first heard this on Rick & Morty I thought it was a bit cheesy. Now I'm considering it the best piece of music I've heard for a very, very long time. And this brilliant live performance really is the icing on the cake. Lost for words.

"How many times have you listened to this?" Me: "Yes"

why haven't I heard about this song before.

The song itself gave me goosebumps but this is a whole new level of feeling, and the fact that rick and morty brought me here is just as strangely beautiful as the song

The part around 4 minutes in when the music starts to swell and you can feel the full embrace of the orchestra is just incredible.

Kishi Bashi is so talented and underrated, I wish people listened to his other songs as well.

whoever disliked this is willing to catch these hands

what a voice! he is one of those people who just lives and breathes music

Now I can pass on peacefully, I heard the best notes there's to hear. 😊😊

Thank God we have song ID on our cell phones. Back in the day; you'd hear a gem, then it was lost in the ether. There's a lot of good songs that i heard years ago that were obscure that I'll never hear again. Lost and nameless songs, but songs I remember.

Rick and Morty put me on. this song hit when planetina went into bloodlust mode

I have the feeling Morty is evolving towards a "Rickiest" personnality, with his own life's passions, disapointments. I like the fact the show is getting more and more complexe in his characters feelings

Sorry I'm late to the party. This just blasted out of the universe at me like a fire hydrant and completely overwhelmed me. This is officially better than the original. Incredible performance and arrangement!

It crawls up into your soul. Every measure is a gift

Holy sh-t. That was the most beautiful display of sounds and passion I have seen and heard in a long time. I feel like I needed this.

His vocals are just perfect

I can’t understand how music can make me feel so much

Even when the universe would crumble under the heaviness of time, this performance would still ring through the vastness of the cosmic dark.

Rick and Marty brought me here. We love you Morty, stay strong soldier🥲

Music does not get better than this. To have been there live.

This song has fully helped me understand myself, I'm autistic and I always feel like the antichrist to people hiding my unique view of the world and my unique personality from others, with Kishi Bashi blessing I got those exact words on me forever "I am the antichrist to you" to always realise there is a place on this world and you should always express who you are, never be scared to be yourself, never hide the real you!

Regardless how we found this can anyone just agree with me that this is some of the most beautiful music?

Gorgeously haunting. Where are the other songs like this? The mere idea that songs like this one await discovery is exhilarating.

Kishi Bashi never fails to impress, entertain, and inspire. The addition of Nu Deco Ensemble to this track elevates it greatly. Fun to get lost in this one for sure.

close your eyes..and listen

The difference between this outstanding live performance and the recording of the song is immeasurable, in my opinion. And it's not that the recording was bad, either. It's just that with the live instruments the depth of the composition is so amplified. To me it shows the physical passion that gets lost between a recording and a performance with real musicians. Such a beautiful song. Thanks!

girl on the violin behind him absolutely crushing it

Rick and Morty brought me here, People are saying poor Morty, but when you think about it, this is his journey to become a Rick.

If this doesn't give you goosebumps you have no soul

I found Kishi Bashi more than a decade ago through NPR tiny desk concert. This version is my favourite, creates so much emotions, more than sad bunny ever could. I’m also grateful to the people in this very comment section to introduce me to Rick and Morty.

bro what why is this not the official audio his real voice is so much better than the edited one, this man got real talent

Literally insane.I am shocked. Thanks Rick and morty for discovering this masterpiece for me.

I feel like this is a lullaby, a lament and a warning all wrapped up in an angelic voice trying to reach heaven and earth at once. such a beautiful piece.

Rick and Morty got me here. The beauty and emotion made me stay. Thank you for this.

i am the antichrist to you is my favorite song of all time this is SO pretty if i was in the audience i would literally be crying holy shit

Kudos to the Rick and Morty folks always digging up some true gems! Surely I was not the only one who missed out on this initially, so indeed thank you!! What a fantastic addition with the Nu Deco Ensemble

I’m going to listen to this until I can’t

I'm always blown away anew upon realizing that music and singing can so easily evoke emotions and tears in me.

This is the most spellbinding piece of music I have heard in a very long time.

Even if my life was only meant for me to hear this song once, I would be content.

This is the first peice of music I've seen from your orchestra, you have shown me something I've been missing. I've been close to no longer being on this planet but this music has shown me life can be beautiful and not just here to destroy me. I mean it, thankyou. You may have just save a life.

Sometimes you search for beauty... ...But sometimes you stumble upon it quite by accident and it's all the more wonderful for being so unexpected!

I love how he sounds better live then recorded

Here because of Rick and Morty but I’m glad cuz I discovered such a beautiful song bc of it.

Difficult to fathom how someone could be so talented... his singing is angelic

There is so much beauty and pain in this song u can tell he put his very essence into every word and note of the song

This is why we live, to experience such beauty. 6mins of bliss

This song would have been perfect for the Netflix show DARK

Rick and Morty brought me to this Beautiful masterpiece. Confusion of not knowing to crying or smile, Be happy or sad…it allows me to be in a place of existence and knowing I am here and to appreciate my experiences while float in this space

Theses are the kind of songs RU-vid recommends at 1am🥺

Normally when I hear live shows I always think they end up sounding worse than like the audio version but Dang Dang Dang this is really good

“She’s gone mom, she’s gone. I loved her so much”. ~ broken-hearted morty

4 minutes 53 seconds when Kishi and the lady violinist are both utterly in sync with one another in the frame. Such a beautiful and powerful piece of music. I can't stop listening. Thank you for this collaboration.

Coming from a Rick and Morty fan and a parent: this song became so much more powerful, not just because of Morty's heart break, but because his mom tried protecting him from it and was there for her son in the end, feeling his heart break wishing she could take it away. It is the most brutal pain you can feel.

4:45 onwards is so beautiful 🌬

This song deserved our attention. And Rick and Morty gave it just that. Thank you Kishi Bashi and Nu Deco ensemble for this song, and thank you adult swim for Rick And Morty

Imagine being there, feeling the vibrations in your very being The music enveloping you while bathed in the dim lighting

That flute was PERFECT 💯💯🤌🏼

Shoutout to everyone who's here after the third episode of Rick and Morty season 5 !! 🙌🏼

This dude's voice is amazing, Im glad I found out about this.

I must be suffering from hypothermia because I've had chills throughout this entire song

I have listened to this version and the original. This one is the better version of it. Thanks for all the musicians who participated in it to deliver this piece.

Literally can't get enough of this song

this song made me feel feelings i haven't felt before. how?

I literally just watched Rick & Morty, heard the song, paused it and came here to find this. Majestic stuff.

I'm not crying, you're crying. I can't stop listening to this song. Absolutely everything about it is amazing!
