Nujabes - Luv(sic) [ft. Shing02] ALL PARTS (1-6)

[@titoaldunate]

I discovered Nujabes in February. I'm Chilean and my family has this tradition where after you turn 15 everyone chips in to gift you a trip outside Chile with one of your respective parent (usually daughters with mothers and sons with fathers). Long story short my dad couldn't leave the country and though we weren't struggling financially, we were going through a low point at the time (now we're a lot better). So I didn't get the trip (I'm the youngest of 5 siblings so I was pretty bummed). Years passed and my dad kept going on about how he wanted to take me to San Francisco because that's where he and my mom went shortly after meeting and really fell in love, so in turn he loves the city. I turn 19 and to my surprise my gift is a trip along the west coast of the US! I could go on about the whole thing, but there was this one moment that will always stick with me. We were at Golden Gate Park (me and my dad) and this beautiful sunny day turns to the most heavy rain in the world. Seeking refuge we got into the first café we could find, just outside on of the entrances of the park. Once inside we order two BLTs (we were starving) and sit with our drinks. As I watch outside the window how it rained in the city, "Luv(sic) Part 2" kicks in, and my dad starts telling me how the whole experience this far (we were kinda at the end of the trip) was one of the best things in his life, because he did it with me. So we kept on talking, ended up having a very chill but emotional conversation while the rest of the record was playing. As we left, I ask the girl in the counter what was playing and she sends a link to the songs, songs that I have been playing non stop since I got back home.

[@camn7542]

Awesome story and sounds like a beautiful moment. Props to the cafe for playing Nujabes!

[@billbill6094]

We all miss Nujabes, but Shing02 is still around and we're not really giving him his due respect. His lyrics and Nujabes beats elevated each other.

[@AstralMarmot]

Thanks for saying this. Shing02 and Nujabes had one of those rare collaborations where you just know they were born to create together; but that sometimes means we conflate them and don't see the contributions of the individual. Not only is Shing02 still touring, he's an outspoken peace advocate and the kind of human you'd expect listening to his lyrics. If y'all love Nujabes, give love to his #1 partner in rhyme.

[@fjkdfafsdzafdgafhd3916]

Exactly, Nujabes established the hexalogy's thematic foundation through instrumental alone, and then Shing02's lyrics complemented that feeling by expressing it in a language humans can process more consciously

[@fiire_stormm7279]

You cannot give up. I know I am a random Internet stranger whom you will more than likely never meet, however, your loss would be exponential. You are an individual, much like I. I myself have undergone circumstances that most would seem catastrophic, but yet I continue. We've both been at the end of the rope, but we hang on. Why? Because of love. Music. Art. Beauty. Losing you would be like losing a star that someone looks forward to seeing everyday. You can't take that away from someone. I've never met you, but I love you.

[@イチゴ甘い-c3b]

I met this lovely guy online 2 years ago because we somehow had Nujabes as our common interest. He’s French and I’m Japanese but we both know a little English. Mainly we bonded over Nujabes, especially the Luvsic Hexalogy. When we first met, we were just listening to his songs while trying our best to communicate. It was hard but we had fun. We both learn more English and talked better. He asked me to be his girlfriend and been together ever since. It’s a LDR right now but we’re both looking forward to see each other again.

I was in 5th grade when my mom bought me the first season of Samurai Champloo on DVD. It came with a Nujabes music sampler, and it changed everything I knew about music at that young age. Now, I'm 20 years old, and his sound brings about this gentle and euphoric nostalgia that i can't even explain. I wake up every day thankful for the time that this man spent on earth, and his ability to create some of the most beautiful soundscapes I have ever heard. Luv(sic) makes me laugh and cry every time I listen to it.

There are so many comments about Nujabes. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Nujabes, but I come to this particular song cycle for Shing02's lyrics. There is just something about the realness of his raps- so artful and poetic. I really think that Nujabes and Shing02 were a musical match made in Heaven. Some argue that Shing02 wasn't a good enough rapper for this series, but I disagree. I really think that he felt the atmosphere Nujabes created and made it even better. Love it!

[@PCDisciple]

Well said, shing's technique is really solid and his lyricism is really unique. Part 3 especially makes me feel major nostalgia, which is simultaneously my favorite feeling and something that can really wreck me emotionally.

[@thexyzhead]

As a depressed person this makes me feel really peaceful, like everything's going to be alright and things aren't that bad after all. Even if most of these songs are melancholic, it's a hopeful sadness in a way. What separates Nujabes for me from other artists is that an artist's work makes you feel happy, sad, inspirational etc. but I hardly got that specific ONE feeling I always get with Nujabes, it's hard to capture into words. And it hurts to know that he had to go that early, even though we only know him through his music, he's like a 'imaginary, fictional' person in my life, but still the deep connection to him is there, I sometimes wonder how he was as a person...I don't even know what my point is, I just need to get my thoughts down as I listen to this.

I came across pt.4 in a point in my life where i felt really hopeless, i was a senior in high school having to repeat all my math classes (i know tragic). while everyone was relaxing and getting ready for graduation i was showing up earlier and leaving later. Just when everything seemed lost i found out about Nujabes and his music along with Shing02 turned everything around for me. While everything was telling me to give up, only in music i found the words of encouragement and inspiration that i so desperately needed. By a miracle i made it, didn't go to prom or graduation but i left high school behind in 2017. The last time i rode the school bus home i played pt.4 on repeat all the way home it truly felt like a scene out of a movie. Here i am even in 2022 still going back to the music that push started the rest of my life forever grateful.

BTW LYRICS: -part 1 [Verse 1: Shing02] Lovesick like a dog with canine sensitivity Developing this new theory of relativity Connecting our souls resting in captivity Positive life sacrifice what it is to me Our history, only a quarter of a century Reality, sitting on the shoulders of our chemistry See ain't no mystery, the colors that we mix will set the mind free Let the blind see beyond harmony! Breathe life into dead space blow away clouds of doubt New territory we determine to be Everything a safe haven it's supposed to be Now it might seem distant but the time is near When our thoughts take off and split the atmosphere Pure sound wave travel semi-infinitely Plus I'll see you there utmost definitely [Hook] Cause the beat plus the melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently Cause your beat plus the melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently [Verse 2: Shing02] Good gracious, every process has a genesis and ends with a revelation God bless this opportunity for me to find a voice For some words that have waited for way too long Low wages, Small tips on the avenue Never wasted, all hits for a revenue Haven't you heard the news lately? Seems we've been living for some time in a purgatory But yo, I thought I knew what a love song sound like But I felt a warmer tune in the sunlight I could still hear it in my room past midnight Gotta move, take a solo cruise in the moon light Sometimes I do forget, Oh how much we could ease the lives we lead If we learn to let go, the reins that we hold Return to our souls, and the spirit let flow So you see, upon everyday faced there's a million shades to Express definition of grace But the method I choose my prerogative There's so much love in me I got to give [Hook] [Verse 3: Shing02] Oh how I could write a book on how you make me feel But how about this song that I wrote for you? What I feel like...I wanna put my trusts in these simple words For you to feel what I'm saying, what you feel like? Reminisce about the little episodes that we shared together Remember the time that you told me In the cold night, to relax when all I knew was to hold tight Remember the time that I spoke to the crowd in a full house and Realizes that you was my ace? I was the joker on the stage singing the blues All eyes on me and had nothing to prove But yo, I thought I knew what a diamond shine like But I felt a sharper love in the limelight From the queen of hearts watching me quietly from the upper deck balcony Sometimes I do suspect, I'm an actor in a well-scripted live divine comedy When I look back, that frozen slice of time and try to defrost the senses lost Now enough with the metaphors, the motivation that I wrote this letter for For you to know that the music helps carry on Like you say a new day will bring us tomorrow... [Hook: x2] Cause my beat plus your melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently Cause your beat plus the melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently Cause your beat plus my melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently Cause your beat plus the melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently / / / / / -part 2 [Verse 1: Shing02] Once again, now where do I start, dear love Dumb struck with the pure luck to find you here Every morn' I awake from a cavernous night Sometimes still pondering the previous plight Seems life done changed long time no speak Nowadays I often forget the day of the week Taking it by stride if you know what I mean No harm done, no offense taken by me So let's rap, we'll catch up to par, what's the haps? Perhaps we're even closer Now after, all things considered on this side of the planet Couldn't pick a better time even if we planned it To come clean and candid if I have to Oh what I wouldn't trade for your laughter Sweet and sour spice in my poetry pot melting Even better than the real thing It's like the God in me saw the devil in you I wanted to break myself in the worst way when I met you Who would have thought, conversate by the river, celebrate birth Sit and delivered the lines that would prove to be the seeds of trust Unsigned, yeah but destined to grow with sunshine Self-assigned task piled on the desk of good works Knowing hardship appreciate the best of both worlds Chorus C'est la vie, as they say L-O-V-E evidently, see every song has a sequel Never same, everything but the name, all fresh just like back then, how we do everyday C'est la vie, as they say L-O-V-E eloquently, see every dream has a part two Never same, you got to keep it tight, always just like back then, now hear me out [Verse 2: Shing02] Once together, now where do we go, dear divine I pray that you keep watching over us From the heavens where light is the nucleus To this space filled with darkness and negative matter Anti-gravity pull is what I would rather, feel when I leave this shell eventually Ties to the mother earth ground me mentally Real vibes will keep me alive spiritually Imagination brings bliss at no cost, when I blink blink I receive at no loss Victory comes in small packages like a leaf of an olive tree brought back by a dove From above, then I'm gonna rhyme love Well you saw that one coming ever since the beginning of the end Well anyways, I am not a perfect being, yes I am, a man full of S-I-N It's like the devil in me saw the God in you You epitomize the etymology of enthusiasm Look it, up there lies the clouds that form the rain That came from the ocean that flowed from the river I'm a believer, firm with the first words, lyrical transceiver of our ancient roots Science plus Arts multiplied by Faith then divided by the number of our ethnic race Let me mention what I've been thinking How to save the children, when the ship is sinking So I'm singing, no lip syncing to slogans Political hooligans with tanks, missiles and guns Everything is relative when it's all in the family of man Understand the time has finally come to realize the great power of one All formulas equalize under the Sun, amen [Bridge] The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music In times of need I won't be leaving you sick The beat plus the melody's the recipe Your vibe surely brings out the best in me The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music In times of need I won't be leaving you sick The beat plus the melody's the recipe All good souls lost may they rest in peace [Bridge] The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music In times of need I won't be leaving you sick The beat plus the melody's the recipe Your vibe surely brings out the best in me The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music In times of need I won't be leaving you sick The beat plus the melody's the recipe Hip-hop world wide we got to live in peace, like that / / / / / -part 3 [Hook: Shing02 (x2)] It's funny how the music put times in perspective Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far Wherever you are [Verse 1: Shing02] Like a movie that you can't predict Like a book that you can't resist I sing along a song that's oh so sensual Bring along a sip to make it all so sexual Verbally that is, making love to the music means vibing to the beat at night With the whole city fast asleep, out cold True words seem to rise to the lips, take hold Of a poet in me, most powerfully I feel free when the world doesn't owe it to me It's so hard to find a gig that lives up to the billing Trying to find a reason to work, god willing I admit, my thinking is wishful Like a star upon a child gazing up to the ceiling How far do we have to stretch the truth To fit the lifestyles borrowed and overdue? We can take it all back to the register And start all over from the canister Let's break it all down into pieces of bright Moments that pass by like a meteorite Throw on your favorite reel that's good to go On the analog player watch the people glow Sit back to the breeze let the memories flow Comedy tragedy all the highs and lows [Hook] [Verse 2: Shing02] Like your moves that I can't predict Like your look that I can't resist The ting-a-ling feeling was oh so mutual The lingering appeal was so unusual Herbally what is, medicine to a lone soul can become poison to some With the whole body fast asleep, out cold True vision seem to come to the eye, take hold Of a prophet in me most visibly I see clear when the world doesn't show it to me It's so hard to make sense in a cycle of billing Trying to find a reason to quit and make a killing I admit, our dealing is painful Like a star upon a child staring down from the ceiling How far do we have to stretch the picture Before pixelating the human texture? We can take it all back to the register And start all over from the canister Let's save it all up for an ultimate prize Homecoming gathering with a big surprise Throw on your favorite record that's good to go On the analog table and it's hooked to blow Sit back with ease and hear the emcee flow Hi hat kick drum all the highs and lows [Hook] [Verse 3: Shing02] Um, third time's the charm, hopefully When I chime on your door you'd still let me in After all these years The room that you caved in my heart is exactly the same as you left it I realize that you have moved on New styles and cliques like them silent flicks I'm speechless in this golden occasion The beautiful expression on the silver creation This time I'd like to keep in touch I'm a little bit wiser, a whole lot tougher If I suffer through another nightmare tonight We'll chalk it up as another chapter to write, all right? Or wrong or somewhere down the middle of the road I wanna see you again in a scene with the backdrop a perfect ten And the music can take us back to the spot right then From black and white to a sepia tone Some dreams come with a tint or in monochrome From black and white to my skin tone Some dreams have a stint on the microphone [Hook] [Verse 4: Shing02] Okay we can take it all back to the register And start all over from the canister Let's break it all down into pieces of bright Moments that pass by like a meteorite Throw on your favorite jacket and you're good to roll On the analog trail and you look the role Just stroll through the trees and let your miseries go Sunshine hurricane all the highs and lows We can take it all back to the register And start all over from the

drum, play a fool like April May the best dance in a Juno bridal Power of the will, Julius and Augustus Aw you know, it's just us In a new semester, back in September Boy, I wonder if you still remember [Verse 1: shing02] Meet me half way from mars to venus Beep beep, the chase is on between us Retweet the sweetest piece of confection Hand made device for remote connection Ask a question Wait for an answer and make a suggestion A time and a place for a first impression Second and third to a fourth dimension Rise above the weights that hold us captive To a square, swear that I, I the captain to Cruise in sci-fi, red sky burn like sapphire A moth to a fire, but we can fly higher Till we reach an apex We fit tight like a glove with the latex Bring it down to earth for a cooling session Laying sideways and glazed in essence Gazed each other in the eye to find galaxies of Uncharted nebulas Heard joy over spilled milk on a quilt, of lavender Woven in the fabric of our calendar Dress up at the end of October Give thanks to the fam in November A cold but cozy December And we're back to the origin, so let me begin [Hook] [Verse 2: shing02] When you took my hand, I couldn't hide it Way too delighted Tried to ride it cool but obliged to write it Wouldn't fight it, how my watch paused When I put my lips on your eyelids The lost second, deposit in a memory bank Every chance I pocketed a cent A blank check with ya signature Font sans serif, the curvature, a lone harbinger With toys play coy like fish in a pond Fond words serve poems like dish Life is short like a doggone leash Or a fuse in an open circuitry That got struck by lightning Hang a painting on the wall over the writing Brighten up the room for a private dining Increase the peace and cease the anxiety Spread love and cc: the whole society You got me shooting off on a tangent Like I always do when I'm on the fringe And the tally of the letters will reach The valley where the wings will seek A series so classic at the top of October Give thanks to the fam in November A cold but cozy December And we're back to the origin, so let me begin [Hook] / / / / / -part 5 Till death do us apart, and it did Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead On our lives we nourished And the days we cherished as kids We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines In your last breath you told me, that you had to go Cause it pained you so Oh I loved you so much so Was I selfish to hold on And cling on to your body that hosts a soul That wanted to set free the eagle in a cage And you became eagerly what I wanted to be You the person to leave, I the person To see off another best friend to land's end I watched grown men moan, and women weep As you quietly descended six feet deep But the spirit ascended before our wet eyes A gift from god, returned to sender Though I like to pretend that this never happened I can turn around and see you laughing But the fact is you could never practice Getting blind-sided and eating the wind shield Endless field of shards of glass This too shall pass, but reality bites, it says not so fast First you must climb a calvary of shattered hopes And then a mountain of prayers unheard 'till you reach that peak where you can see the dark abyss below Then you let me know if you have what it takes for a leap of faith I had to say, hell no, heaven yes, but not yet Please bless a forehead, cold in a bed Or alone on the road with nobody to hold When the pouring rain is too much to bear It's a reason to live for a seed that needs care Till death do us apart and it did Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead On our lives we nourished And the days we cherished as kids We let it whizz on by, but when I rewind Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines Now I hit this stage in honor of you How's the other side, I bet it's a splendid view No more stress for rent, or to make ends Collide in a cocktail, shame with envy I can hide behind lens that block the UV Looking in from the outside the bowl is murky The toll for the bridge is rising Weatherman says storm, city hall is burning Same ol' chaos, gotta shut my cell like I'm waiting to take off On the runway, scoping out the window The moisture covers the sight though Telling myself it's just another day in the life of a starving artist Trying to paint a dream you woke from Chasing the departed We used to hang by the banks to see who can skip a stone the farthest What I thought was a stream is now an ocean No such thing as an extreme to show devotion To your craft, which I didn't know the half Tried to knock down your door and caught the backdraft And a whiplash, all in reverse Then I finally stood up and said, we reserve the right to serve anyone And on the same note you deserve the best of the most fun By the way I got your letter, you said you were fed up Well I second that and I reckon that you tried So I don't place a blame that you took the fifth And the first flight out of town, into the mist Till death do us apart and it did Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead On our lives we nourished And the days we cherished as kids We let 'em whizz on by, but when I rewind Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries Or a random hand picks it instantly Life is art, a miracle for all to see I must tell you that you lived beautifully / / / / / -part 6 I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world Now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl Her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup Whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth But the stones turned precious when they all came out On a string of deep thought that could never be bought Body rock don’t stop, be bop to hip hop Cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor What was left a shoestring budget on call Then these new styles came along Some on to the next on some other hit, their own trip Colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds, dated Make you feel old and jaded The point was to make it and we made it but We didn’t know how to keep it Like nice kicks. that wouldn’t fit Only way was to box it up and duct tape it up Store it underneath the bed and open it up Once in a blue moon Think about a cool ending To a story that ended too soon Gotta bring back the feeling I’ll do anything not to be stuck on fiending A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient To an open heart, it’s a daily operation After six come seven and eight Access code to the pearly gates They say heaven can wait And you speak of fate A finale to a play for my mate I see the angels draw the drapes Over the earthscape Where the wine is the spirit of grapes Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape As our records will stay on rotate You say a circle is a flawless shape Every part equi-distance from the center On the arc without a start or a finish A line on a loop carries weight A freight train runs unabated Views vanish from my point vantage Passages come in and out The way I recall your antics (how I remember your antics) Still alive ’cause I said it A life of its own unless we dead it Till they see our name in credits A labor of love you mean slavery Surely, it’s been quite savory Crepe on the balcony, verbal alchemy Pure magic when she touches me I read that love is kind but it’s also blind of any style You profess, would you be my guest (you could be my guest) Happiness is a hot potato that you can’t possess for long Just pass it on like asong And I might look calm and collected at a glance But I taste the void when I’m not connected To the world kinetic, as opposed to static Idle hands a workshop of a digital addict (a modern-day addict) On a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed The mind in need of stimulation Elevator music to the space station Penthouse of stars a-blazing After six come seven and eight Access code to the pearly gates They say heaven can wait And you speak of fate A finale to a play for my mate I see the angels draw the drapes Over the earthscape Where the wine is the spirit of grapes Gotta finish what we started, so I cut this tape As our records will stay on rotate / / / / / Credits: genius.com

I wonder if Shing02 would get as much love from you guys. Like Nujabes was a master of his craft and deserves all the praise as well obviously but what keeps me coming back to these tracks are Shing02's beautiful lyrics more than anything. He is an amazing poet and is really great at painting the image which touches your heart. All the emotions I feel ranging from uplifting and carefree in first three parts to the lamenting ones in the last parts is due to how real and beautiful Shing02's lyrics are.

very true. i was about to say the exact same thing. ty for putting it much better than I could've. they lyrics are so meaningful

[@ender3882]

I feel like shing02's lyricism is the perfect complement to nujabes' beats. Nujabes sets the mood with his masterful use of sampling and production. Shing02 then uses his lyrics to craft a story around that atmosphere. I love both nujabes and shing02 as individual artists, but luv sic wouldn't be what it is without both of them. Both of them deserve equal praise for creating this masterpiece.

I first heard this on the toilet during a terrible bout of stomach flu. I never knew I could weep from both hot, painful diarrhea and the soothing sadness that is this medley.

[@flashk9419]

I was in my highschool years when i first caught glimpse of a work of art from Nujabes. Feather was the first song ive heard from him and fell in love with a lofi hip hop beat. Fast forward to 2018, didnt even realize he passed in 2010. Such a loss to the world but we still have Shing02 putting in effort for his partner in crime. We dont get a lot of musical novels but this one is probably the best one out. Fast forward to 2023, i had to pay respect to Nujabes brother ramen shop in shibuya named Usagi. Definitely a good quick eat if you guys ever go to japan to visit and pay tribute. They blast Nujabes music there 24/7 and their food is really good compared to how much we spend in the states.

I've practically made it a habit to listen to this every day. R.I.P Nujabes.

How beautiful a KZbin comment section can be... I really feel like going into a bar, those tracks playing in the background and a big group of awesome people, all telling the others about their lifes and how those songs brought them a turn for the better or just a short moment of piece. I know, a lot of people wrote it hear already but yo, shoutout to y'all, stay up there and keep pumping the awesome jams that Nujabes and Shing02 created. Lovin' all of you guys!

[@prochuba]

indeed, really amazing. at first i was struck with confusion when i came accross his music and these comments. but not a second after i just embraced it and went along. i searched so long for this. i feel more complete along with all you people and this music. i'd love to meet all of you sometime in life. enjoy, keep smiling, be kind to yourself and to each other and love and be loved my dear unknown friends

Gotta relisten to this every so often. All because I watched Samurai Champloo, I discovered Nujabes. He's since became one of my favorite artists. Him and Shing02 have made this one of the best series of tracks in all of musical history. Hope future generations can listen to this masterpiece for years to come.

I watched samurai champloo after I found nujabes in a lofi playlist in 2017, finally got around to watching it to see the parallel between yasuke and cowboy bebop

@@Beelzebotable Welcome, my friend.

[@michealdeangelo7452]

I always believe that Nujabes worked with more "talented" rappers with sicker flows etc. But for me shing02 will always be the BEST rapper he's worked with because of his pen. I find his lyrics more relatable and some even stuck by me till this day. Truly a match made in heaven.

[@fxna12]

shing is literally a poet nd it matches so well with nujabes

[@dgayle2348]

I remember back in the day I was like who tf is this garbage dude he found to rap on these beats... But when it clicked finally I was like this guy is a poet for real

11 years ago today. RIP. Thanks for everything

[@taidakun_ig]

The music, Nujabes, these songs, the community... I love you guys... all of you... My dear friend passed away from suicide a few months ago and I knew about Nujabes since I was a kid watching Samurai Champloo. My buddy used to listen to him all the time when he felt like dying... And now that I'm in a huge depressing state where I'm suicidal sometimes, I listen to Luv(sic) and all the others... My word goes out to all of you... Thank you all, even in the Nujabes community where I was welcomed with open arms... and ever since I jumped along months ago never once did I get the slightest bit of hostility. This is why I do my best to kick ny suicidal tendencies. Nujabes's music spreads love... no hate.... I just love you guys and I want you all to know that I always want to help whenever you feel like venting or want advice. And I want you all to know that you can do it if you're in a tough spot like me... If life gets the best of me and I ever commit suicide, I just hope you all can feel loved... Because love is what keeps us going and, God damn it if I can spread love like you guys did for me, I will proudly do it. Rest in Beats, Nujabes. And bless everyone in the world with happiness and prosperity in the future. 💗💗💗💗💗 Kik me at Zetayoru if you feel like you need to talk. I'll always be on standby waiting for you. I love you all

[@dnnysrock]

why feel sada cause someone dies bro? dying is a normal process. listen to this music enough and you ll find the truth one day. life is just a dream. the dream never stops! peace dude!

[@sapphirejaxxgh8639]

Cosmic Kids! It's hard to think about how your loved ones state of mind is during a suicide. We all have bad thoughts, but that's a deep suffering that most of us won't understand. I've made peace with my grandparents death, but my cousin hung herself and that's always gonna hurt me. I'm still searching for answers when it doesn't even matter anymore. It's been a long time and I'm still waiting for that internal peace.

[@sapphirejaxxgh8639]

Cosmic Kids! You're right though. Life is a dream. ;) And it goes on.

[@sapphirejaxxgh8639]

He found a hat in my shop that matched his coat and he was pumped on it, he called it kismet. He brought up the story on stage while introducing his song kismet.
