This should've been a worldwide hit. This is the type of music we need mainstream. Her voice reminds so much of T-Boz from TLC.

[@paab024]

No we certainly don't want this music to get mainstream. The quality of the music will be lowered when in goes mainstream

[@FlyKidFlaco]

Agreed..but the good stuff you gotta look for it..I'm just glad i got here..

[@urilevi9575]

Yeah it should have. Agreed. Or at least a lot more recognition.

[@maliaschacht8999]

Agreed!!

[@rastaman1873]

Dj shadow been round since mid nineties, underground King

[@captnkozmar1669]

I love this song-I keep coming back over and over. It should be ten minutes longer. It's one of my all time favorites!

[@rogertaylor5328]

Same.... what a tune❤

[@jakewell8069]

This song is just perfect for a summer night, when you go out on the balcony, you have a cigarette, everything is calm and you just watch the city fall asleep. Instant vibes

[@muttakinc2281]

Yeeee

[@RCaIabraro]

What would a summer night be without lungs filled with Polonium

[@accuwrist]

Love your version. In mine, it’s been a big night with stimulants, we’re back home dawn is just breaking and we’re still awake Still feeling buzzed , this song makes us cuddle and touch each other’s pink bits

[@urbykanters1525]

Like me now 😂

[@sandygreen2707]

Ugh this song is so fucking beautiful

[@user-bj2lu9qt3o]

I swear I saw blue light My feet followed it outside And I thought I heard someone say Fly far away And when you reach up the sky is there This clueless weather know We swing the waves, and let it go Until I heard someone say Over the rise and beyond Oh, where you’re reach and knocked over stars Like light I came from pocket finesse Every moment I see with eye closed Take me to places where we can start Like light I came from pocket finesse, every Nothing can steal this treasure from us, babe I’m still in luck- now Fighting the sounds Take chances and come closer to me babe I’m fallin’ out - now

[@TerriTangela]

You can never have enough Little Dragon

[@polreamonn]

Or DJ Shadow.

[@rhinocerosegg6349]

i fockn can't believe this video has under 10k views. it makes me sad. for me as a DJ myself, shadow is a living legend. he's one of the reasons I started making music in the first place. there is so much soulless but famous music out there and this masterpiece didn't got the attention it deserved. heck, the music industry is such a heartless place...

[@MegaDRKSTR]

thats likes. it has 1.1 million views. still low though

[@dylanisco0l]

is this a perfect song?

[@tylervespa6182]

yes

[@Radiobaang]

Still

[@agamarief4602]

dylanisco0l always

[@mo000on]

no. Old DJ Shadow is better.

[@LetThereBeTripHop]

One of them, at least

[@NextUpSounds]

Still bumping in 2020 🔥

[@xddrfg4605]

This song cures my depression.

[@silverman824]

same

[@orig3109]

same over here

[@janjones1027]

It’s beautiful

[@kasteman1]

The video is a dream in which, when you wake up, you can only remember about 4-5 still frames from it. Sometimes that's all you ever remember, sometimes details come back randomly for days, months, even years afterward.

[@omar1s1]

So true

[@richardparker1384]

actually the video is a story that the man in the beggining created in order to memorize a pack of cards. it's called Mnemonics

[@lorielopez6548]

Is that Barbara Kean from Gotham coming down the stairs?

[@nickdistefanocomedy]

The melody and notes in this song are so top tier. Just invokes emotion and immense ear pleasure

[@blackleggingsfluffysocks640]

Ben Pridmore is awesome, the video is awesome and the song is awesome. Drifters brought me here!

[@jonathancompression9501]

Agree blackleggings. Pridmore is immense, the song immenser.

[@wmorrell6345]

how do people not like the video, this video is fuckin awesome

[@emilyhardy96]

it's my favorite music video ever

[@Lia-hd7rh]

the video is impressive. it looks like its all a continuous shot which is really hard to pull off

[@Krezmick]

Yeah it's low budget, but anyone notice it was all one shot and original.

[@donnienxrco]

Ok go type beat

[@SettingSun77]

This song is just bloody brilliant. I know it's not exactly a Pitchforkian analysis of its merits but it's just wonderful, isn't it?

[@johnebags]

Its nice to listen to something other than the shit that's on mainstream radio.

[@dan32113]

BBC6 is mainstream radio, they have a festival. There is more music than ever!

[@drewramey5095]

Mainstream radio is trash but there's much to be found underground

[@lucasjamesmusic]

OMG I was on set to this music video!! It was filmed in Cardiff in an old store it was part of my work experience!! I also met the lady who came down the escalator! I've been wondering who the DJ was and I finally found him!!!! Nice song 😁

[@PoPPiNT]

because you don't know what he actually did. the man in the beginning created those images in his mind to memorize a deck of cards(52 cards) in 20~40 seconds. they just reenacted what went on in his mind.

[@johnreypagaling8128]

V

[@lovehand9531]

oooooooooooooh... i am not a smart man Whereas it kinda bothered me before, I can actually appreciate it, now that it makes sense

[@JoseSanchez-yo2co]

Incredible song, and incredible Ben Pridmore memory!! he memorized a pack of cards in 24 seconds when he was Record Guinness 👍👍👍

[@fhoplist]

So a few months ago when I picked this album up I was cruising around with my windows down. The leafs were falling, the weather was just perfect with a crisp blue sky as the Sun was getting ready to start setting. All the feelings and emotions seemed to be captured effortlessly as I played this track. One of those songs that when you get older will make you reminisce and take you right back to that moment.

[@TheDJkarsy]

I love the very few last seconds when the 'cake' moves a little and you can just about see some of the people in the background smiling haha. Amazing song and very interesting video :)

[@ricbob9651]

Little dragon is always phenomenal

[@enthusiasticamatuer]

It's such a good pairing, little dragon and Dj shadow have produced some of the most interesting music over the last 10 years

[@circa1021]

Thank you for this masterpiece.

[@vanessavagas5580]

This song os my head and heart since Forever and ever

[@strawberryfieldsforever1280]

My heart beats stronger when I hear it !

[@cgsussed9749]

Bloody beautiful song...

[@SuperAdamMan64]

THIS is how you do a music video.

[@axelsantos5000]

Rolón 💙🇲🇽

[@doyrayburn2668]

God I love her voice.

[@sapient110]

shes got such a great voice more ppl need to have her for vocals for tracks even tho there are so many

[@JC-bf9zm]

I didn't realize until now just how much I wanted a DJ Shadow & Yukimi Nagano collab album. Her voice sounds sooooo good over a simple breakbeat. Don't get me wrong, I love her band but her voice really shines over slower tempo, sampled beats. This one gave me shivers.

[@blueblade455]

Her voice reminds me of T-Boz from TLC

[@lilyc.g.5567]

This is definitely one of my favorite David Lynch films

[@RoninAgain]

This cures all my pains from 80's movie remakes....almost t h e r e . . .

[@RichardHannay]

This song is so damn good... One of my most played songs in my iPod...

[@faaipdeoiad9470]

Shadow is an under rated talent .....

[@adamkane9340]

Beautiful tune. Just gorgeous.

[@bobbyrocks338]

Thank you DJ shadow for all the inspiration and quality art that you bring to the world. Check out DJ shadow on the Crate Diggers series to really get a quick in depth insight.

[@AGBEBAKU]

my favorite new song and video! simply amazing

[@kristel0073]

this makes me feel high

[@soyruska]

Esta cancion sin lugar a dudas me recuerda una epoca hermosa de mi vida

[@finalfanta15]

DJ Shadow never dissapoints. Great song.

[@partrobot]

my favorite song/video. a shame it isnt more popular

[@natashashefras1788]

Definitely isn't a shame, if the song was more popular then it would be played everywhere and it would lose its uniqueness.

[@Gorfvan]

The part where the 50s gangster shows the clock to the Asian viking and he starts breakdancing for the owl totally makes sense to me.

[@EuphoricEugene]

It's breakdance time

[@muttakinc2281]

This is so heart tuggingly beautiful.

[@yosikmolo]

impresionante!!!!!!! TEMAZO

[@SHIREDRIFT]

Sounds like a Prince song to me. Love it though!

[@Trigoska]

Amo a Dj Shadow

[@captainkenno]

Awesome track with beautiful vocals well worth a place in any music collection! PS if you read this and do not know about the remix comp which inspired some amazing tracks as well? You do now! thank you DJ shadow.

[@waynerizzo8648]

extremely cool

[@vtownkid44]

this video is so dense with with random imagery that it's hard not to pass each bit off as meaningless.. a little overdone but this video does carry a unique beauty when coupled with this song.

[@leebeyer3]

This song is too beautiful to be described by words.

[@perlarodriguez6107]

Maravillosa canción!!!

[@phil9617]

omg! i like this girls voice..

[@Thyrion07]

phil uk That ain’t no girl. THAT’S A WOMAN!

[@user-oq1tr7ys5i]

@@Thyrion07 and shes a dragon. A little one. That is of course in addition to being a woman.

[@Reawer]

Beautiful song, love the little smirk at the end when the cake bends xD

[@martioli]

I always hear More Love by Kim Carnes when I listen to this song...not a bad thing

[@Temparnillo69]

Thanks Tommy. Always will think of you when I hear this. 😃❤️

[@RCaIabraro]

Such a beautiful song and cool art project music video

[@maryangela965]

I swear I’ve heard this so long ago... I just can’t remember

[@michaelsix6075]

In a past life?

[@jara7804]

Me encanta la canción

[@mrlee7662]

Just shizam'd. Never knew this was dj shadow

[@PASTILLARCKO1]

Esta canción cada que suena me traslada a grandes momentos!!!!! Disfrutenla!!!!

[@mattd9977]

Love the song and the video! Can't get enough of it

[@dangallix76]

De Toute Bôté, Merciciciciciciciciciciciccicicci

[@brownayy]

NME TV helped me to find this song when I was watching it at 2am in December. Such a shame that that tv channel is no more.

[@JoseSanchez-yo2co]

BLUE GIRL WAS VERY SERIOUS IN THE ENTIRE VIDEO BUT IN 4:18 SHE SMILE!!!, I LOVE THAT!! (also the viking)

[@guns4toilets]

This video reminds me of Birdman: Virtue Of Ignorance especially when I saw that owl @ 2:50. That was like a confirmation, kind of. The ending was perfect to top it all off with the cake about to rip completely.

[@thnkvoid16]

So many Little Dragon collabs- someone should make a mix

[@disclose_beauty]

Little dragon&DjShadow insieme

[@tratamentu10]

Every single beat feels so relieving. This sounds better than Jesus playing harp or something like that.

[@changabodega6400]

There are few aproaching the epic mastery in turntablisimness

[@originofnoise]

OMG, the ending of this video is epic!

[@reimufumo4465]

this song needs more attention tbh undoubtedly one of the most underrated songs of the 2010-2020 decade

[@urbykanters1525]

I think it is never to late but... WOWWW! ❤

[@AstandsforAlex]

This video is so abstract, i love it.

[@fandifrahman5220]

TIMELESS

[@RicoBanani]

peace and love

[@andrewhte9304]

“Thank justice and come closer to me, babe I’m falling out Nooooow”

[@awesomeady]

So sad that this is the first time I've heard this song! I've been in love with little dragon since day one ❤️

[@kevinmccann6326]

Wasnt sure at first for a shadow track, but im hooked now, nice and mellow.

[@x30n0n]

worth a million views

[@luciagreppi739]

I.love.this.song.

[@MrChrisalvarez2009]

Beautiful

[@joshprendiz71]

All good things will always be good things and everything not will be Not!..that's it..and love will find it's way...Kisses.....

[@kevinpriest2668]

This was played on @BBC6MUSIC when it was released. Loved it then, still love it.

[@CalLady79]

Such an interesting song. Has a quirky calm to it. And I am a Little Dragon fan... Totally chill out mode music.

[@GilekFromOldField]

Boże! Jakie to piękne..

[@tahmkruz3016]

[@yourmother8577]

Unique vid.

[@janap8541]

[@paulblenkiron478]

Fantastic TRACK thanks for the music 🎶. Stunning

[@DAoCShadowblade]

[@gchamon]
