This song was literally an unexpected delight

[@galbeeri8360]

totally

[@paytonrohan5209]

you prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me atm then you can watch all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last couple of months xD

[@johnathanjedidiah7930]

@Payton Rohan Definitely, have been watching on kaldrostream for years myself :D

[@logann7942]

I can only play this song when I’m truly at peace. I’m playing it now. 😊

[@ModeerFehT]

My girlfriend of 14 months and I separated last week and this was the first song I went to listen to, it cheered me up and made me think things through I hadn't in the past about our relationship, and now we are back together. Thanks so much Steven Ellison AKA Flying Lotus.

This helped me through high school every time i would have a test ill slap this in the headphones so beautiful it would bring tears to my eyes randomly.. this guy is visionary..

[@ZGGuesswho]

Tito Puente is pretty underappreciated, but so is FlyLo's ear

[@CatcherLuLu]

This whole song makes me nostalgic for older times. It’s been so long since I’ve listened to it last

[@Magestrix]

I can feel tears swelling up in my eyes. This is simply a wonderful blend of voice, melody, and....I just can't say. It's simply one of the best mood setters I've ever listened to.

[@MIXMASTERRFS3]

I had a weird dream with this song playing in the background lol

[@Marcusml333]

That would have to be an interesting dream whatever it was about.

[@nomikosthegreat]

What was it about

[@MIXMASTERRFS3]

@@nomikosthegreat I was in the middle of the Sahara desert and this song was playing in the background

[@Smackmate]

made a connection on a connecting flight / a window seat had unexpected delight / business turned pleasure with a chance meeting / our encounter was epic but fleeting / a lifetime together in one night's rendezvous / we swore to keep in touch but didn't follow through / I often wonder what could have been / in another what, where and when

[@PublicEnemy04]

Perfect.

[@brocksamson9737]

I dont know why i get emotional listening to this. the mid to late 2000s seemed like a simpler time. Before the massive over flow of social media phone apps and content creators. Digging for for music in the deep abyss of KZbin felt like a transcendent experience for me much like going to a music store and digging through the CDs and vinyl's. Good times.

[@TheCheeseyPuffs]

my head exploded the first time i heard this

[@quinntoncarter202]

damn u good?

[@bearoftheinterest5987]

Hope you're feeling better

[@gedbeat15]

I love this song, i listen to it almost every night before i go to sleep. this is gonna be a lullaby for when i have kids. haha

[@junee160]

do you have them yet?

[@berkeleymorrison]

omg do you have kids now?

[@gedbeat15]

@@berkeleymorrison Nope, not yet! But this will still be the lullaby when I have em. Check back in a couple years 😊

[@MaiyaHershey]

i think this is one of his best tracks so far

[@darikai219]

This reminds of a banker I loved to talked to, however briefly. Slightly taller than me, African American goddess, THICC, most beautiful voice I ever heard and told her as much, afro-ish hair, a cyclist, I can't remember her name. I will always remember her face and voice. I shared this song with her and she enjoyed it. She knew I was into her, and I knew she had a bf, and accepted it. I respected her for being loyal and told her I wished her the very best when she told she was leaving the bank to be a stewardess for a airline. I'll probably never see her again, but getting to listen to her speak with her resplendently, luscious voice was an unexpected delight.

[@Spider_bites1]

I've been listening to this song a lot lately. Laura's voice is very pretty in this. It's a very uplifting song and I love the little bitter sweet ending. It makes me think.

[@tommyo.7876]

Tito Puente - Call of the Jungle Birds

[@nellyral2739]

Nice catch

[@gummyboots]

Guys, this song has a sequel( kind of) Its called Phantasm, its on FlyLo's new album.

[@LawrenceMcCoyTHUNDERNDEATH]

This made me shed tears

[@Me-mm8ih]

Why?

[@Jocelyn_Jade]

What a bittersweet narrative... certainly relatable, and oh so beatiful

[@skizz72]

my favorite track sampled from Tito Puente !! the homies used to clown on me for enjoying this mellow track knowone ever herd me play it b-4,,,,i have more of my private collections of many nice melodies.excellente !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PublicEnemy04]

People are strange, man.

[@CountTentacula]

This song takes me back to my summer community college days in 2015: I graduated from the University of Utah in 2015 and came back to my old community college to further develop my portfolio. My animation mentor always did have excellent taste in music, and this song often played there, if memory serves. I downloaded it off my class computer and played the crap out of it during drives home.

[@SacredMilkOG]

One of my favorites. Still a gem. 💙💎

[@knockoutguitarist087]

this is the best thing ive heard ever! reminds me of like an afternoon stroll on a sunday in the 50s or 60s AMAZING

[@bearoftheinterest5987]

Wow, an 11 year-old comment!

[@dfmitchell21]

this song makes me feel like im on a camel smokin a blunt

[@AfroPlaylist]

Years later, this song is still a vibe 🔥

[@blufaerie]

My fave Flying Lotus Song!

[@OoOSUAVEOoO]

Such a whimsical and lovely piece :) Reminds me of a Brazilian day or Havana night in the 1950's

[@2482sherman]

The most beautiful sound my ears have ever heard........were am i??

[@channelsabored]

I've gotta tell you, I've listened to this song plenty of times, and i still get goosebumps every time,...

[@RuebekampProjekt]

Can´t Handle the beauty...everytime I hear this song I am at a nice place

[@1SoldierofPeace]

3 years later and not one dislike....this is true legitness

[@beginagain6197]

When this song plays all I have to do is close my eyes and I'm there. A small seaside town on the Mediterranean, close to the Spanish/French border. A lazy October evening, quiet and warm. The gentle waves lap and wash the edge of a small shingle beach mirroring the movements of her thumb on the back of mine. Someday.

[@GregNavster]

i wish this song went on forever

[@chrisoverton8936]

something about this song is fucking hypnotic as fuck wHAT THE FUCK

[@CGW420]

@PosDma cheers man, peace from cornwall, uk.

ELECTRIC ELECTRIC

[@Bebbar]

god damn I thought I was the only one who got that vibe. Kinda like kid Link wondering about trying to make sense out of a mundane town.

[@channelsabored]

It's not even like this song is that complicated, it's just so well put together that it's amazing, all of the reverberation, loops, and tuning compliment each other perfectly

[@Martel4]

this song is full of memories

[@MartinfdeZ81]

El señor Tito Puente !!!

[@SpiderGuile]

Simply terrific!

[@josephjasonsantiagolacour]

Me and Lola Falana walking tipsy down the beach in Malibu. The summer sun sets and we laugh lovingly passing the joint. These are the daze.

[@heterosapien69]

Aspen and I dancing on the fly in Venice. The sun is a menace lighting the clouds in fire. Higher than the desire to relax, we think not of tax or worries...just love, life is blurry. These are the daze.

[@Koolkids922]

Me and my dick the summer of 09.These are the daze

[@MikeMunday222]

[@circadian_sleep]

this is a song i know i'll be listening to for the rest of my life, so chill...

[@Zunesrthebest]

Who's the singer? She sounds like the Trish from Broadcast (R.I.P.)

[@DrEru]

I don't know how to describe but listening this makes me feel like I am wondering in the desert. The sun is setting slowly and I know the cold of the night will come. But I am also knowing that sun will rise again. So I don't feel desperate, and continuing my adventure. With hope and more perseverance.

[@GoingGREEN1]

I LOVE this song!!!! Took me forever to find out who sang it but I'm glad I finally did! FL is dope!

[@GoingGREEN1]

[@NFSlegend2]

Wow....younger me meets future me. Unexpected time flying :/

[@KamKomissioner]

woah. dude. i think i actually enjoyed reading that.

[@faggottrain]

@xriraito i think the first part goes more like we made a connection on a connecting flight the window seat held unexpected delight business turned pleasure with a chance meeting our encounter (?) the rest I agree with, its so hard to understand what she's saying in that part

[@BuzZedJustNotDizzy]
