I remember listening to this in 7th grade. I’m 26 now. I remember skating late nights blasting Nujabes thinking life doesn’t get better than this. It never did. 🤣
@@cashruf yeah man just the act of riding something and nujabes just soothes the soul. I dropped manual boards a while back and into electric skateboards right now and it’s still the same haha
Ok, hear me out I randomly came across the album "Classical Current" and I discovered that one of the pieces, "The Lamp is Low", is actually the one sampled and used here, but it doesn't stop here, since I also discovered that "The Lamp is Low" itself took its melody from Ravel's "Pavane pour une infante défunte" So, this is literally more than 100 years of music combined It's a bit random, but I thought I'd share it because I found it really beautiful
@@giuseppeagresta1425 Just goes to show that there isn't really any original ideas, BUT the listeners have the potential to learn the history if some of us want.
Listening to this after the end of a 3 year long relationship. She fell in love with another man and ended up leaving me for him, and to make matters worse, I was already dealing with severe depression. This was only yesterday, but I’ve decided that I am tired of crying and feeling empty. I want to better myself and treasure life for what it truly is, I want to become a better, healthier, and happier person.
Hey man, I just wanna let you know that I believe in you, and that there's many guys just like you who do not feel content with their lives because of all the messed up stuff that's happened to them. The fact that you've made your mind to get on the path of self-improvement rather than spiraling into an even worse state shows that you've got a great mindset, and I'm proud of you for that. Heck, you should be proud of yourself! So many guys feel beat down by life, and unfortunately some never get back up. *You've* got the feeling inside of you to keep moving forward, and I pray that you carve your path and build a life that you're happy with - trust me when I say millions of guys would be able to see themselves in you and relate to your plight. So, if YOU win in life, then its almost like a win for guys all over the world, because every time a guy pulls themselves out of the gutter, its almost like an inspirational wakeup call for everyone else! I hope that made sense. Anyways bro, never forget that there are always people that love and care about you unconditionally, and never EVER stop being an optimist. The world makes a lot of people jaded, but I find that an almost extreme level of cheeriness is the perfect remedy for the harshness of the world. I wish you the best of luck my friend.
I'm 23 and still yet to get a girlfriend... Meeting girls through work, talking to them is easy, but starting something is a whole other story... I want it but don't know if and how badly I'll get hurt, still want it regardless. It's hard to relate to your situation, but I sympathize. I hope you're doing good now, lots of us have ups and downs, but there will always be another way up and to a brighter tomorrow.
Cheering and rooting for you my friend, be happy with yourself first and work on yourself..heartbreak is really painful..but trust me,its more painful to let yourself down..i wish you all luck of the world!!!
This song makes me want to go outside again and explore places Update: since I posted this comment over 2 years ago my mental health has increasingly gotten better and I have a new job. Now all I need to do Is work towards my dreams of being an emt someday. I can do it I know I can.
As a musician I’m so happy you said this because this is what music is for us on the daily. Sometimes we lose track but the music always comes back to us.
I’m in my sixties, a stroke survivor living with congestive heart failure, and I don’t have much time left on this earth. Aaah, how when I was a young one once, no cares in the world, and now I’m getting older. This tune is a reminder to appreciate just the simple things in life no money or any assets materially can give one such things, and enjoy what’s left while you still can. You only grow once , you only live once. Amen!🙏🏾To God be the power and the glory!🙏🏾😊
the video was deleted again, this time the whole channel was taken down so I'm gonna repost this story On the last video, the person mentioned how on the origonal video there was this comment that he always remembered, but the video was deleted, and now.. well here we are again. The story is: The guy who commented would go on drives with his brother who would always play this song, but never asked the name because he didn't want to disrupt his brothers focus on the road. Later, his brother passed away, and one day he found this song on youtube and commented about how happy it made him to be reunited with it, and that it was like being with his brother again
@@user-ub8vx8zd1d Little brother is on PC. I played since PS3 and moved to PS4. At one point, you could plug in a USB, and then listen to music on it, but I think they took that function out…
@@istandout2725 literally 💀💀 imagine depending on a shitass platform like spotify and literally PAYING money for digital music. What an L LOL. Mp3 and soundcloud is the way to go bruh
You know what? You inspired me. Tomorrow i'll do exactly that, my stroll will be to school instead of taking the bus or the bike. Will be chilling to this on the way. Thank you, you have motivated someone and made their day end in a positive note when it was otherwise trash. Love🫶
Another beautiful comment on the previous video: Imagine meeting someone who makes you feel the way this music makes you feel!! Just wanted to keep these alive
I don't get why the original video get removed, I will always remember the top comment posted on the original one, it's very dear to me and it will always stay in my heart until the day I die.
@@layekk It was about someone who said that when he used to listen to music like this in the car, his brother was focusing on the driving and would always not talk with him that much when asked the name of the music, so one day his brother died, and he discovered the name of the song that his brother was playing a lot in the car, and it's name was "Aruarian Dance" as shown above, it's really a beautiful story man, unfortunately I can't remember the exact details of the story, but this story will always stay in my heart from the moment I discovered this song to the moment I die.
Back in college I had a radio show called “City Sounds” and this song was the intro song to the show. I would talk about every genere of rock, hip-hop and anything in between. I didn’t had a really big audience but for 1 hour I would be in total musical bliss.
@Sebax he sampled Lamp is low just like the creator of Lamp is low sampled the original composition Pavene for a dead princess. 🤷♀️ all of them have a different vibe and a different sound.
Nujabes got me though so much in life, failed relationships, hating school, not knowing what my future was gonna look like, throughout it all his music made me push through and now I’m gonna be going to med school. There is light at the end of the tunnel no matter how long and dark that tunnel is keep pushing through guys ❤️
@@xnosmokenoknivesx keep going don't till your there there's gonna be walls tho do jump over wall and if you can't jump dig under the wall if you can't do that then make your own path
my favourite part of songs like this is seeing ppl in the comments talking about their lives in the comments. I truly wish joy, fulfilment and love to you all. from someone who’s been su*cidal since age 11 lemme tell u that things can always get better and life is a beautiful thing once you start living it for yourself
@treyway Please don't put others down for voicing their thoughts and emotions. It's a bit rude and insensitive, it might make them feel like they don't belong. Please be more considerate next time. (Sorry if I came across as rude, that wasn't my intention. I wasn't sure how to word this.)
The twister evils of the world aren't evil what do you know about this world no one is good neither evil but the world will turn you into anything it wants my life is so miserable that I cant even speak to anyone about it...... I never chose this path......
Just seeing how many people talk about the song being taken down over and over again in the recent comments, am glad that people actually still recognize and keep coming back to this song although it been more than over a decade
its a real shame, i wish i could of seen the original vid with apparently over 16 million views and see the community and everyone's stories that was impacted by Nujabes music just like i was. But oh well we still got this community right here which is better than nothing.
Listened to this when i was 14 years old in high school full of anxiety and fear for the future, now im sat here 7 years later in my navy mess quarters listening to it chilling. Time flies
my two brothers closest to my age would never hang out with me too much when i was little, but my older brother who would spent time with me used to jam in the corner of his dirty room playing this song. to me, it’s a song about comfort and unconditional care. rest in peace nujabes
If you spend your time chasing butterflies, they'll fly away, If you spend your time making a beautiful garden, the butterflies will come to you. And if they don't come, you still have your garden. This isn't about butterflies....
Don’t know who put this song, and that anime together, but they certainly nailed it in the meme department. As long as more people listen to it, it’s fine by me. World’s gonna heal a bit quicker now for it.
It's currently 3:52AM as I am composing this comment. It's downpouring in Los Angeles right now and having this on while watching the rain fall outside my window is truly a blissful experience in itself. Thank you Nujabes 💙
Living in Phoenix, it’s maybe once or twice a year I get the privilege of happening to be vibing at home when the rain does come, but when it hits, it hits.
I feel the same. For me this song represents those special times when you get to spend time with loved ones. Often when a fun trip or visit is coming to an end this song will play in my head and I try to savor the moment but there is sadness over the impermanence of it as well.
Samurai Champloo will forever be Immortal, best soundtracks, best opening, best ending, one of the best individual episodes in all of anime, SImply a masterpiece
maybe thats because the melody of this song is over a 100 years old😭pretty wild to know that someone over a 100 years ago listen to htis exact same song
"If You Had $86,400 In You Bank Account And Somebody Stole $10 Would You Be So Upset And Throw Away The Remaining $86,390 Away? If Not Then Don't Let 10 Seconds Of Your Life Ruin The Rest Of Your Day."
ill always remember the time i was at the beach with the girl i liked. i started listening to this song as she walked away towards the sea. it was a magical, bittersweet moment. bitter because she was going away but at the same time the beauty of the moment, the peace, the happiness of getting to be with her under the sun and by the sea made it one of the sweetest moments of my life. ill always remember it.
this was the first song that i listened to when i got my license. driving down the highway, the rain clouds were parting away to reveal the sun rising over the beautiful tennessee mountains. i absolutely love this song with all my heart and i hope that i can pass on the way that i feel about this song to others.
Do not be anxious, be courageous Do not be lazy, be industrious Do not be negative, be positive Do not be what you shouldn't be, be what you SHOULD be.
This song will always mean so much to me…RIP to my Riri, you’re the first person I thought of when this came on, I miss you dearly…RIP Nujabes and thank you for the music!
pirate it, the money is only going to his production label since he passed, and there are alot of licensing issues with his work. I dont think these tracks will be here in the next few years.
To everyone doing their homework, 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 sad, grab a snack, have 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 creating, you got this. Your creation looks terrific. Remain in your flow and get stuff done! Your are special.
Yknow, it's been like a year at this point, and I find myself struggling with negative thoughts. But there's just something about this song that really makes me feel more at peace.
I’m so happy there’s new people coming in and spreading peace, never thought this song would blow up this big! I still remember listening to this when I’d bike home from school long ago.
I tell myself that i have no enemies, it's a really good cope for me for some reason. I could be stressed mad or scared and i tell myself that i have no enemies, i start to feel better afterwards
Whenever I hear this song, it reminds me that I need to be kind even when life is hard. The will to keep on going can be difficult to find sometimes, but I realized that if even the smallest glimmer of hope still remains, there is a goal worth chasing. When I lived for my own selfish desires, I became broken. Even though right now there’s not much that I can offer people, I can give them my smile and compassion in hopes that when my hard work pays off, I can give them unmerited joy out of an unconditional love for others. Keep chasing, work for the future that is yet unseen, achieve your goals no matter how lofty they may seem. In all of this be kind :)
"Do not regret being part of someone's life for a short period of time for that helps you grow and think of them as a lesson." -a friend i love you so much Kyle thank you
I can’t believe it got deleted AGAIN. At this point I’m just gonna screen record it and if it gets taken down for a THIRD TIME I’m just gonna reupload it and post it as a private video and add it to my playlist :)
Wow, I'm blown away. This song is sampled in a random instagram video I came across and led me on this rabbit hole to find out who the artist was. Reading all these comments is almost as good as the song itself! It's crazy how we've all been touched by this music. I literally just discovered it and some of you have listened to this guy for years but damn, I feel connected to all of you. It's undeniable music is magical.
It is a very reminiscing melody. I dunno much about music and theory but it gives that tone and there is some nostalgia, sorrow, and calm. It takes me to the time, growing up in the old neighborhood, and like someone said in the comments, you think there won't be a better time than that time.
I distinctly remember listening to this on a summer vacation night at a beach. Alone, staring contentedly at the pale white moon as its light reflected off the rippling waves. Nujabe's music has this possessing effect on me during late hours of the night, forcing me to stare blankly out of window or any open space for an unhealthy amount of time.
It took 4 tries for this song to load, but now I understand it was worth it to rehear this song once more before it fades in and out of my memory. Maybe this is the last time I'll ever hear the song, maybe not. Someone could comment here and I'd get reminded, maybe not. This song really reminds me of the mundane beauty of forgetting, and continuing down a path we call life
As a freshman in 2020, this hit hard during those Covid months man. I’m ab to graduate hs, got a month left and this just floods back all those memories.
Dude same this shit hit hard during freshman year and although a lot of shit happened in 2020 for some reason it felt goated to live during that time...
Having no enemies isn’t about yourself but others, having no enemies means to truly accept, understand, and forgive no matter the circumstances even if the opposition is still upset or enraged. Living like this is hard and requires faith but that’s why we live, because if everything was easy there’d be no point, but understanding that there is a purpose is the first step in truly living.
Got the impression that people who usually listen to this and comment like us make big part of a group who feel the hapiness trough calm and kindness. Love u guys, think that we would all be friends in real life ;)
This track makes me feel like you're still here, man. It's hard to believe it's been over a year since that accident, I'm still shaken up about it. I'll see you again someday, and we'll just kick back like we used to and forget about everything. Truly at peace, just like this song.
I’m only commenting now because I grew up watching and loving Samuraii Champloo, but loved Nujabes even more. I glad that he’s getting recognition now from youtube and Tik Tok, but now everyone’s flocking to his music now. Listened to him back then when he was still alive, and still to this day to see everyone discovering him based on the song he sampled here. Rip Nujabes.
Shes the most beautiful soul that i have seen, peace at heart but i knew she loved someone else, acceptance is the only possible move now, but even so it hurts to see her go
Why did this actually make me think about what i want my future to look like, who i want to be when i get older, give me hope for the future and realize the endless amount of potential I have? Music is amazing
One of the most magical things about music is the way it can transport you to a time and place. More than nostalgia, it’s a chilling effect that puts your mind into the same frame as it was when you first connected to the sounds hitting your ears. For me, my first exposure to Samurai Champloo was freshman year of college in 2014, watching this in my dorm with friends, experimenting with drugs and possibly the last year of my life without very real stresses of adulthood. I’ll never forget samurai Champloo for the atmosphere it cultivated and the connection to these characters through amazing music, storytelling, and voice acting. Makes me tear up thinking about who I was and who I became since that time. RIP Nujabes, truly an unforgettable artist who took samples and hip-hop and refined it all into a vibration outside of time and space - filled with bliss and adventure and wonder. The hair on my arms is standing straight up as I write this.
I’ve been looking for this song for at least 15 years, and I finally found it. I heard it in high school and forgot the name. Most beautiful track ever.
Reminds me of my life in San Francisco, being in my mid 20s, and hanging out with a mostly chill group of friends that smoked, made art, and played music. Hard to believe that was almost 15 years ago. It's all gone now but I'm glad music can take me back to that place.
@@animeminians7451 They were pretty great overall, but half of them ended up being really massive phonies. Some artistic types tend to come with big egos, a lot of pretentiousness, and surprisingly small minds sometimes.
When I finish college and start my business, I’ll sit on a rock for hours thinking how life is so diverse in everything and that anything is achievable. Having to go through pain makes a realization that it was worth the life experience.
im almost turning 20, but I feel as if I’ve found peace in my life already. It’s not a great one, but I feel with this new found peace i can accomplish anything i set my mind too and can make my life just a bit better :) Peace is what this song reminds me of…
One month ago, I was listening this in car, and it catched my grandpa's attention. He said that it was familiar, so I said that is an arrangment of The lamp is low, by Almeida. We searched and we discovered that Almeida did a cover, so we listened the original. My grandpa was an hornist, and he was really happy, 'cause it realised that The lamp is low has the theme of "Pavane pour une infante défunte", one of his favourite piece for horn. All of this for say one thing: Great music has no time and, of course, no enemies. (Sorry for the english, I'm Italian)
you're english is fine! I went ahead and listened to the piece you mentioned. It was excellent. You're grandfather had great wisdom with his sentiment about music.
I had this on a CD 20 years ago and would fall asleep nightly to it on repeat, it was such a calming and relaxing song for me to listen to, man. So excellent to hear it again 20 years later and bring back all those positive memories.
had a terrible past couple of weeks and need to get back into the zone and the first thing that came to my mind was listening to this. i hope it can do the job.
Getting this album cover tattood on me this month. This song is so special to me and I wouldn’t want my first tat to be anything other than a tribute to one of my favorite artists OAT. RIP Nujabes. Your music has saved my life and countless others and it will continue to do so. Do not gatekeep Nujabes! His music is powerful and it must be shared
I love the comment section for all videos of this song because it universally shows how much Nujabes music was appreciated and that people will preserve the best stories that others tell associated with it in the event the videos are taken down. _That_ is the power of Nujabes.
This song to me is my “you’re doing a good job” song. Thinking about recent events, I realize I found this song when I was recovering from a tragic moment. This song helped me out of that. RIP and thank you Nujabes!
