Toro Y Moi "Rose Quartz"

[@JayLeParc]

The way this song builds in the beginning always gives me chills

[@Dalis856]

Facts.. its surreal

[@moosesnWoop]

Sounds familiar, like I've heard it before

[@alonsotechno]

Have you listened to the slowed down version yet? The build-up there is really something else

[@elguapo3811]

The best

[@Daszuhorer]

I like when the snare comes in

[@MagicSwordFilms]

As an animator i have immense respect for this video, mustve taken FOREVER

[@fightindreamers]

+Henry Gonzalez anything done by hand is rare these days. the work seems more genuine and authentic. it's like a piece of your soul goes into the work. how could it not? the time, sweat and dedication that goes into making a work of art like this...the audience definitely feels it some deeper than others

[@MagicSwordFilms]

l3gitxk1m 49 Imagine the time it would've taken to re paint the oil paintings in this for every frame of this video. They looped some of it, but this is at least 12-24 moderations per second. That takes forever

[@Imnotevenapanda]

+Henry Gonzalez my thoughts exactly, they probably put a ton of effort and time into making this

[@Kai-qu5jj]

+Henry Gonzalez Could be a filter?

[@MagicSwordFilms]

Nah man you can tell from the economy of brushstrokes and just the way its all done, this was painstakingly hand crafted That Guy

Wondering impression...huuum

[@OnThatUltralightBeam]

I used to get the aux taken from me for playing Toro y Moi as it just was a little too wavy and indie for most the people I would be around about 6-7 years ago. These days if you play this or most Toro songs it’s a crowd pleaser, which is just a testament to how much Chaz has shaped the musical landscape. Thank you for the art and much love to you and anyone reading this.

[@subs4794]

This track and some other songs of his are great. But I think it's more of a testament to how crappy most popular/known music was/is than to how ahead of the times he was/is. There are many artists on his level over the years and currently.

[@darrylcannon6628]

Def have lost the aux cord over some hits that were unspoken at the time

[@thedanieljamesjeff]

aint that always the way, got a few "radioheads" in my circles, slaves to the charts...

This brings me back. Early 2010s chillwave was so dreamy.

[@aahxzen]

Chaz is basically the synthesis of everything I love about living in the contemporary world. People throw so much hate at our generation and the direction, like we suddenly shifted. Music like this just tells me we are doing just fine.

[@JPNesker]

[@tomdragon3881]

Definitely. I feel bad for people who don't see what's happening, so much amazing music has come out in the past 20 or 30 years. It had been getting incredibly stale.

[@AtlasCompleXtheProd]

@@tomdragon3881 The 80s had Great music too lol. But i agree that a lot of new stuff has been phenomenal. I felt like from 2014-15 or so all the way until just a couple of years ago maybe 2019-2020 it had been the most stale

[@armonilloyd1825]

I remember playing this song when my father passed away and my friend just hugged me and let me cry on his shoulder. I miss you dad until we meet again

[@brendaherrera8811]

im so sorry for your loss.. he will always be with you

[@LaurenOliviArt]

RIP!

[@ChaoticComedy]

Stay Strong Fam 💯

[@JenFromWebsite]

Such a good friend.

[@AutopsyMyDeath]

Your comment makes me sad... My dad is still around but I wonder how long he will be every day. Once he is gone im screwed... He's been my lifeline growing up. I feel so ashamed to think of the shit I've put him through growing up that if he went tomorrow or next year or anytime, I will always feel im to blame for him not living longer. Even if I became a better man today for him it can't replace the parental stress I've could have prevented. Humans take so much for granted.

[@cypher948]

God I’m on a toro binge tonight. My best friend showed me his music and every time I hear it I’m just taken back to all the good times we had. Getting high, playing halo, listening to Toro and laughing our asses off. Good days.

[@vincent21212]

Saw this dude last night in Seattle. Forgot "Rose Quartz" was his jam. When they busted it out in the middle of the set, the place was on fire!!!!!!!!!!! His band plays this song live with so much hype and energy it can kill you. Toro Y Moi is one of the high-priests of live music today. You don't know how good this guy is until you see him jam out on instruments.

[@cinnabonmadness]

Exactly!! I saw him at lollapalooza and he KILLED IT. Blew my expectations out of the water. It was so groovy and amazing!

[@michaelgibson3426]

I saw him in Ohio and there was the most perfect pause after a song and all I think and feel was play Rose Quartz and I shouted it, and he just jams right into and I’ll never forget it

[@brkitdwn]

And it's still amazing and so is the video

[@boy-in-stereo]

This samples Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know". The vocal "I feel weak! Oh!" Is a pitched down version of her vocals in that song.

[@ceeza314]

Thanks sir

[@alicedupont6708]

This song is the soundtrack of my life When I listen to it I feel like I’m walking in London and no one sees me, kids play football in slow motion, a smooth wind, end of the day. It’s also the song of people entering their childhood home decades after leaving it It’s the song for lonely people balancing between sadness and happiness, full of emptiness and emotion. This song

[@oddneublek4736]

Toro Y Moi may have a magnesium deficiency. Taking 250mg magnesium supplement should help with feelings of weakness.

[@wzrdgame8768]

lmao

This record has singlehandedly taught me more about music production than any teacher. I already loved the Yamaha DX7 but this album uses it in the most modern and relevant way I've heard.

Wasn't even one my favourite songs from his album before I went to see him live, after seeing him live it blew me away & I'd now rank it in my top 50 favourite songs ever across any genre. That intro :)

Toro y Moi pulls on my heart-strings in a way that when I was younger I longed to feel how and experience how these songs were supposed to feel. Now that I’m older I get why the pain/relationship was manifested into music.. because wow I did not know what I was asking for when I was asking for it. Makes the song better though!! Awesome talent being able to make what everyone is feeling into a cohesive experience
