Flying Lotus - More (feat. Anderson .Paak) [Official Video]

Hey Flylo, I really hope you'll get a chance to collaborate with Watanabe on the scale that Nujabes did on Samurai Champloo. Give us some Flylo/Watanabe Horror please.

Here's hoping you find your way, man. Just take it once step at a time, and you'll make it. FlyLo's last album came at a complicated moment in my life. Mourning a loss while looking ahead to plenty of big changes in the future. At the moment, I felt the timing of that release couldn't have been more perfect. It really helped me sort through what was on my mind. And I suppose it's hard not to put that amount of weight on this next project. But great art will always speak to you when you need it.

[@warprecords]

Flying Lotus and Shinichiro Watanabe’s creative kinship was cultivated while working on BLADE RUNNER: BLACK OUT 2020, the mutual respect led to them collaborating on this video. Watanabe had this to say about their connection - “Flying Lotus’ sound and Anderson Paak’s rap on this track are just incredible. Their work greatly inspired me to direct this music video for them with some of the finest anime talents in Japan. Flying Lotus is such an amazing talent, so it is a great honor to work with Flying Lotus again after our first collaboration on BLADE RUNNER: BLACK OUT 2022. We like working with each other so much that we are already collaborating on another series project of mine called CAROLE & TUESDAY. Our creative team worked really hard to create this video for Lotus and we hope we did justice to this wonderful new track. Please enjoy!”

"Your Ego is your seed" The more times I watch & listen to it, the more I'm understanding. 1. The bird can sense your ego, the more it got close, the more your ego sprouts, & it's burning/purifying it. 2. If you let your ego control you, you'll never see the light of day. "Gotta be more to life than myself", "That's when I caught light of myself. The entire hook explains itself. 3. This video & song is DOPE!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

[@Griimnak]

Not to mention, the ego is the literal seed. At the end, all of the people turned into trees. Imagery of ego death

[@tysonjohnson7913]

It almost looks like he confronts the robot to test himself but his ego was his seed. And since his ego was so strong his tree was sprouted and along with many other “seeds” he burned with their egos, tearing himself apart unknowingly.

[@O3FILMS.toronto]

@@tysonjohnson7913 It does seem like he was standing there ready to be tested, I never noticed that before!

From the looks of the video, the robot is giving out free advice. Great track and very thought provoking. Paak was right on time with, "That's when I caught light of myself (My God). Gotta be somethin' more that I can't tell. Breakin' you down to size. There's gotta be more to life than myself. That's when I caught light of myself.

Only one other part to add now that I listened to the full album: In Final Fantasy , a dark mage can cast Firaga. Any magic spell with aga in the end is the strongest of that series (or ija ending too) so Flamaga is the strongest flame spell.(Even one of the songs is FF4, a final fantasy 4). Important? Yes! You nailed the ego is a seed. And the theme of this whole album is burning. Passion, sorrow, fear, desire, just the strongest flames. Why when the bird landed he caught on fire. To burn the ego potentially? To finally have the flames of his spirit freed? Flames of love? Not sure. But a whole slew of flames on this album. At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about it, but now putting your understanding of the ego quote, I think I’m amassing a better idea of what this album is about. Maybe FlyLo sees himself a dark mage setting ablaze the strongest flames.

[@SurrealiamPrime]

[@hellermerc7085]

While I listen to this on repeat I feel that I can't "happily" praise this work. While the beat is inviting and the colors are warm I find intense uneasiness when watching this and I think that's because of this song's theme of "ego death". The animation greatly portrays the ugliness that resides in myself and I'm sure all of us. As hard as it was to see the idea of an ego's physical manifestation, I found it harder to swallow the fact that this ugliness resides in me and if brought out, I couldn't begin to understand how to deal with its fruition just like the countless others shown at the end. It's a helplessness that I personally dread and instead of leaving me empty I'm overflowing with anxiety. So.... well... good job on making me feel these feelings... sick beat too.

[Verse 1: Anderson .Paak] Yes, lawd Someone hit me the other day for a rendezvous "Long time no see" was the time she used Bright eyes like the lights at the carnival Held convos, but never held accountable How's your Mama Duke? How ya papa doin'? Oh, me? I been freer than the sample food But like a sample loop, around and 'round I move Until it's clear, then I'm back to baggin' bags of loot Spent years tryna steer both hands on you 'Til I finally understood that I was spinnin' my hoop Rather spinnin' my wheels, gettin' up in my years But still I feel like a kid when I'm fuckin' with you Young nigga gotta live, that's the motto they use But all them niggas still live in they mama's backroom So I'm back in my stu', lookin' up at the stars When they reminisce over you, my God [Chorus] That's when I caught light of myself (My God) Gotta be somethin' more that I can't tell Breakin' you down to size There's gotta be more to life than myself That's when I caught light of myself Gotta be somethin' more that I can't tell Breakin' you down to size There's gotta be more to life than myself That's when I caught light of myself Gotta be somethin' more that I can't tell Breakin' you down to size There's gotta be more to life than myself That's when I caught light of myself Gotta be somethin' more that I can't tell Breakin' you down to size There's gotta be more to life than myself❤❤❤

[@weirdough12]

@@greatpower6063 it doesn't even say marmaduke-_- yeah I understand what you possibly hear but fyi, I saw these lyrics on genius.com as is. Maybe it says "mama duke" maybe it says "mama do", but if you understand the msg, theres no need for correction....smh.

[@gairmcculloch67]

@@weirdough12 Mama Duke is like a hood mother figure or community mother figure also said as Ma'Dukes. Not Marmaduke the dog smh lol silly human. There is one part though that i hear differently, always thought it said "Thats when I come out of myself" which is kinda shown in the video with the guy literally coming out of himself but it's hard to hear exactly what it is but I do hear "thats when I caught light of myself". Thanks for posting the lyrics, cool to read through.
