[@kidnameless]

Gotta be honest, the moment this song plays is one of my favourite moments in the series. You'd expect a chase scene to have very intense music, but this is very somber and depressing. Perfect fit for a scene where Katerina realizes she will never get to live the life she had wished for. There was nothing badass about this situation, and it's a sobering look at the morally grey world of Cowboy Bebop. This show is on another level man

[@michaelmartin1644]

The second this scene started paired with the music is when I instantly knew this would be one hell of an Anime

[@Jebus53]

The figurative devices with the combination of the soundtrack 👌 truly a piece of art.

[@igichan]

There's a similar moment in Gnaymede Elegy where the chase at the end has this sort of upbeat folk guitar with simple vocals, it's somethng that stood out to me as the last sort of thing you'd typically put in a scene like that, but it works so well because the emotion of the moment isn't suppsoed to be excitement, or simply rooting for the good guy to catch the bad guys.

Heard this masterpiece play in a short intermission in an Argentinian radio FM, I couldn't believe it at first, just one of those little things that sometimes makes me wonder if I really am living in the real world or if it's all just some kind of strange dream.

Im close to finishing cowboy bebop again and somehow I am filled with sadness. About the fact that ill never be able to see it again for the first time, that life continiously goes on with out a moment of pause, that i feel alone sometimes. This Music just supports those feelings..

[@KnockManJo]

Try not watching it for 3/4 years, that's my current state and I'm excited to watch it again almost like the first time

[@MillionBlue]

It's alright, rewatching it there is always something new to discover. That's the beauty of it and its genius.

[@Gemini053]

The way I started Cowboy Bebop was with the ending. It was by accident actually. I wanted to see what the ending was and then just diss it as another boring anime, but my curiosity got the best of me and I watched the show all the way through and I was very disappointed in the end because I couldn't experience the ending in the correct way.

[@brownkemosabe]

@@KnockManJo going through exactly that myself now. Damn. It hits even harder after a few years.

[@brothajack1993]

Possibly my favourite song off of the OST. It adds so much to (what I believe to be) the true climax of the whole series in session 25. There's a very distinct feeling to it that really is just incredible

[@juan23valdez96]

See you space cowboy....

[@prestonrcasey]

I've found my life partner, twin flame, all that jazz (no pun intended, or maybe so). We watched Bebop together which was my first time through, and hearing this tune made me realize that all the time I've spent in my 32 years was worth it. I felt the nostalgia pretty hard despite only hearing it for the first time; it's like all the shit I had to go through came to me all at once and was let loose to finally let go. Music like this is necessary to live.

[@TheCosmicHubble]

Sitting alone with this music. Beers and Dark Days. Well, whatever happen, happens.

Ik I’ll never get back those times wasted, or the times I cherish the most.. the thing is, nun of that matters to the universe, nor time. Thing progress and move forward wether u like it or not. If it’s good or bad, forever or a split sec, things move in one direction, and past is just another one of those things that have been left already event now as u read this, at sum point you’ll REMEMBER these words. It’s hard to comprehend sum times that life is actually happening, but man this track helps with soo much

How we lose ourselves following our dream... how much we change and can't even recognize ourselves until it's too late. Was the dream even worth it? That's what I saw in her face when the song started.

[@somebunny2619]

"See You Space Cowboy" answers that question. It was worth it for Spike. "Everything is already over", You say with closed ears The words only flow Towards a tomorrow without peace "There's nothing that won't change" Even if my life ends This love will not disappear It's something that will live forever Even if dreams are hidden in darkness I got a rainbow In my hands... The voice that crosses the inside of my chest Tells me that there are also things that won't change or disappear On the morning when we pray before the truth Love will return here once more Love never dies Love never fails Love never ever fades away If someday my life ends This love will not disappear It's a thing that will live forever Escaping the darkness When we've passed the illusion Frozen in time On the other side of the rainbow, love will be waiting Thousands of lights will be waiting You got a rainbow Rainbow in your hands...

[@DukeAlba]

Love Bebop. So many real human stories. Nothing about happily ever after. But about the chances, twists and turns, regrets, and tragic situations that are a part of life - romanticized and made beautiful. Our struggles are what make us beautiful as human beings. It’s about the choices we all make. Bebop is a great show because it recognizes the beauty of human existence with all of its tragic elements. Ain’t no happily ever after stories here, just heartbreak, with some love in between. See ya, Space Cowboys (and gals)…

[@omari2306]

Gentle man vibes. And not those that you might think they are, just a gentle feeling in the heart, that only true men can feel. It's hard to describes gentleness if you trully have never felt it, usually gentleness is confused with a light "soft masculine pride" this is why most "men" don't understand what gentleness is.

[@logancampos2436]

I had to be 32 yrs old to get this kind of music. Back then I was just a little snob kid 😅 but I'm glad I loved the sound of this instrument. Sad,old blues vybes, depressed nostalgia but,in a "it may not look good in these dark times but ,at least I got to experience life & I'm grateful for that" matter.

This little piece of music takes my mind back to a bitter sweet past, the mistakes, the triumphs, those opportunities taken and those lost, it makes miss the people that used to mean the world to me, now lost to the world, or fate. It brings out this deep sadness, this longing for feelings that I was completely submerged in at one point in my life. Cherish those moments , those feelings, those memories, in the end that’s all we have. 💯
