Rest in peace bro, you're music has gotten me through a lot. You were truly taken too early 😞

[@healtheworld817yogamovemen2]

His music has gotten me through a lot too. I use a lot of his music in my massage practice now I am gonna be crying everytime I hear him especially this album 🌙💕

[@anthonydunn458]

He brought so much light into this world. he brought so many beautiful people together through his art. his music cultivated a community with so much love and support. nothing but endless love to you fam

[@nickzoeckler1879]

CTF passing fucked me up. More so than any other artist who passed. I know i'm not alone on that.

[@LUUUUTHEWAY]

He is dead?!?!

[@HNTHub]

@@LUUUUTHEWAY well that is a little insensitive, maybe do a google search or read the above posts? ffs....

[@megustalasopadetomate]

I can't believe he is gone.

[@jeremyconlon6774]

Everybody with ears and a soul NEEDS to hear this.

[@Uvvibes]

Hes going to be at Forest this year! :)

[@igniii3348]

Too bad some people have less than a soul..

[@dkhowimalivev3633]

So you’re saying I have a chance? :)

[@LuHHKeY]

I’m heart broken. I will never stop listening to your music.

[@iTipZy]

RIP to a legend

[@dub-bn3rb]

Rip Legend, you’ll live on through your family and music. Thank you for blessing everyone.

[@joerichardcycles69]

❤ long live Charles The First. He's with me this second and forever.

[@diceblock]

This comment is for everyone who loves this artist. I would like you all to consider buying this album. You can buy it on any platform. We lads gotta support him and show him that he's gotta continue in this career path. I bet that in a near future, charlesthefirst could be up ahead with big artists like flume, justice, deadmau5 and you know them :). Thing is, this album kicked something in me. It is inspiring. Like it's something else I've never heard before. Keep up the good work. 💓

[@Vasy2310]

Yep! I have purchased this and 3 more albums: _Roots EP, The Reach_ and _No Dimmer EP._ And every song is still in my playlist 🎧 I still looking for new artists like: *CharlestheFirst, KOAN Sound, Sorrow, Ekcle, Hudson Lee, Vorso* They are my favorites right now and everyone in their own way making beautiful music! ❤

[@mikegollihugh7992]

I agree he is connected to something, his music is such an inspiration. It literally burns like fire inside my soul

[@skelicles]

Dude I will buy two as vinyl, how can we assist?

[@diceblock]

@@skelicles Not sure, I'm thinking there should be a limited edition of them, if there is. Google would be a better friend than me 🤠

[@360binauralbeats]

better than all of those artists let's be honest. I know Flume is like the godfather of this shit but this guy went to the next level

[@khaven777]

You and your music will be missed 😢

[@paigeclarke5786]

This guy has to either be an alien or influenced by something outworldy forces. Freaking love it

[@999homesickboii3]

i swear their these star childs sent down here to give their gift to the universe then their quickly called back for some reason as soon as they do. Some people have different names for them.

[@krb4420]

Fucking amazing. This guy needs some serious exposure. Anyone who makes music this complex and deep needs to be a goddamn public figure. The world needs to hear this!

[@byrondannyer7267]

fed

[@innavision1920]

The guy was god tier producer, I’ve been producing over ten years and the level of detail and complexity in his music blows my mind

[@ChoyiaCatlett]

R. I.P my son loved your music and now he is jamming with you I miss my only son so much and I love him and I love your music much love Tennessee mom 😊

[@salenasalinas704]

Rest In Paradise 🙏 A True King Gone Too Soon!

[@tcripper]

Charles is the mozart of our time! His legacy will live on forever, I'll be bumpin this until I die. All love , rest easy King Charles!!!

[@Mttlevine7]

RIP man. I can’t believe you’re gone 💔

[@TheMrCRho]

Came here as soon as I found out....was trying to see him at Forest this year..... Keep flying bubba

[@deafshok4503]

Me too truly heart breaking I was pumped when he was on the line up

[@nicks7393]

We love you Charles, Rest in Peace :'(

[@belikemike06]

I first got into Charlesthefirst after a couple bookings in STL and immediately was drawn to the rubberband thuds and cruds. I love his style and rhythm and creative flow throughout his music especially the natural sounds harvested from mother nature. A friend and I listened to his tunes for about 10 hours straight on the roadtrip through Yellowstone and it was f* perfect. I highly recommend you continue to make music Charles and can't wait to catch you live again!

[@URone2]

Listening to his last album in Yellowstone National Park with one of my best friends literally had me crying through my sun glasses. Just peering out onto the landscape of Yellowstone, and coming up onto the Tetons is something I will never forget. God damn it hurts typing this knowing Ill never get to see him in person again. But as I stated up there, this mans is back amongst the cosmos aiding in the infinite dance they do with passing times. They have a whole new soundtrack now.

[@missykaiyay]

RIP the king 👑 devastated to hear of his passing

[@asylumental]

You were on another level... too good. Discovered you too late, i wish i could have got to experience one of your sets in person. ❤ Seriously your musis makes me feel things i cant even put into words... i truly feel like you were sent here to bless us and help us unlock deeper layers within ourself... Youre music is profound. RIP Legend.

[@sundog6820]

it's a trip I'm older most of y'all for sure and lived in Tahoe/East side and grew up in Nashville and was magnetically attracted to this brothers vibe and then see and hear why, dirty south on a mountaintop contemplating universal shit. RIP CharlestheFirst wish I could have caught one of your sets in the vill

[@lovestorysound222]

Rest in Peace baby boy. I love you.

[@miahendrickson3704]

i swear people that do psychedelics hear this typa music differently than regular people.

[@morganjeffries5963]

I have never loved an album in its entirety till now!!

[@nolarainfatally201]

I love that in pieces is at the end. Concludes the album perfectly 👌🏻. I wish concerts could be a thing again lol. I bought this album on Apple Music and I came here to read the comments and love :) a little pick me up. Super glad it’s on KZbin

[@maddygeorge8362]

My favorite album to ever be a created. Charles you helped me out of the darkest times of my life and I’ll forever be grateful for it. It’s not gonna be the same without seeing your live sets. This hurts so bad. Forever thankful to experience a life where I could see you perform. Thank you

[@Health_Vibe]

Glad to be named Charles with this dude out there making such sweet tunes. Way to make our name more awesome

[@kevindclimbing]

So glad I got to see you live at Red rocks . Rest well brother .

[@xSWlMx]

Will always remember this album. The first time I heard it and all the memories that came with it there after. Truly one of a kind and a genre of its own.

[@Gnarcia]

RIP Charles. I was lucky enough to see him at Project Z less than two weeks before he passed. Miss you bro

[@JohnnySacc]

Such a fluid and distinct sound. There will never be one like you again. rest in peace 🙏

[@Musicallyalchemical]

Im so sad you're gone 😢 may your wubs vibrate on forever, RIP King 🤴🕉💖🔥🥁📿🪔🎹🎻💜💎

[@uberanmino]

I cant believe how much attention to detail he put in this whole project.

[@tylerkadle2833]

The only album that is on this level i can think of (specifically more downtempo) is Tipper's Forward Escape. Both incredible Albums with incredible attention to detail of both the music and theme of the albums.

[@kchart8563]

got to catch CTF in LA at 1720 on I believe the last stop of The Ascent tour. This album is an eternal masterpiece along with the rest of his art. RIP Charles

[@moltenguava9418]

Your music not only helped me through dark times but you've seriously inspired me as a producer and musician. I hope you're still making incredible sounds up in heaven or wherever we go. Rest in peace. Even though you're gone the vibes will never die!
