Rostam - Wood (Lyric Video)

[@kassykatful]

I listen to this on the daily. It makes me feel like I'm in sunlight, wind at my back, like I'm so light and whole, free to go anywhere

[@andresl6256]

This is the best explanation on what I feel. Blessings for you

[@itz_youtube_user]

I know I'm being selfish but i don't want anyone to know this song, this is soooooooooo pretty that I can't describe in words...!!!💜Only people with good taste in music should know this masterpiece...!!! 💜💜💜

[@AnotherClich3]

When I first heard this song I thought it was Vampire Weekend. I have a feeling Rostam took along more than his fair share of talent and style with him.

[@akarshikasharma6490]

My boyfriend introduced me to this beautiful song and what a coincidence that I introduced him to vampire weekend. I'm in awe of this song❤️❤️❤️

[@lordmandarin7212]

Rostam is one of the legendary heroes of Persia.

[@coolcat2956]

He literally has the voice of an angel.

Sounds like a lot of Persian music that my parents and I grew up listening to .. then again, he IS Iranian/Persian.

[@TheHasham91]

Heard it first time and have become a fan of it. Highly underrated song !!!

[@zephyr84]

Just discovered this song and love it. For some strange reason I feel like this song would fit perfectly on a Wes Anderson film

[@elena7372]

YES

[@KurenaiDeyama]

+zephyr84 It's funny, I found this sound about two or three days ago & a day or so afterwards, I watched Wes' "The Darjeeling Limited" & I immediately thought of this song.

[@nickybautista3404]

Exactly my thoughts

[@henrysaxton510]

Yes

[@alamdaali8776]

a wes anderson movie just with sock snake puppets

[@RachaelPie]

Rostam. This song is beautiful. Thank you. I feel this is what going to church should feel like.

[@BlancaSegura]

This feels like a breeze in a very hot summer. It is so soothing!

[@firefliesami]

This reminds me soooooo much of Darjeeling limited a Wes Anderson film and I feel as if this song should be in it

[@paulap.8132]

Samantha Currie First thing I thought of when I heard this!

[@kemalramadana7300]

+Samantha Currie YES

[@strawberryicemint]

Samantha exactly my thoughts

[@2224johnjohn]

Yep! Even the test style design of "Wood" is like the text overlay on Wes Anderson film text, I think. Just like Zissou, Darjeeling. LOVE IT.

[@dezza.avalos3916]

I'm sad that he left VW, but it's hard to be sad when he makes wonderful music like this😩

[@menano182]

That's because he is too busy making music for others, which is kinda why he left

[@mayer8356]

Luckily he and Ezra said they would continue to collaborate on future VW releases

[@alamdaali8776]

HE'S BAAAAAACK

[@daraotl5187]

@@alamdaali8776 Some of the instrumentals in 'In Rivers' are similar to 'We Belong Together' on FOTB. Rostam's music is very VW at times, or perhaps VW was just more Rostam than we realised. He helped out on Harmony Hall too which is dope

[@faffabout936]

@@daraotl5187 Someone tell me what's VW?

[@graysonw8660]

I can't believe this is 5 years old.

[@joanabernd5141]

This is so incredibly beautiful. Discovered it in my fave set on soundcloud and it gave me shivers from second 1 on. Feeling continues. This is magic

[@ginaangelina4933]

Driving home last night, feeling tired then I heard the drums .. what a song, what ab discovery, what a creative talent.. where can I find more fusions like this.. it’s gorgeous ❤️

[@valentinapatino8215]

He is a true composer of our times, his music is pure art.

[@austinmijares]

This makes me love life.

[@excellenthannah]

Rostam, this is honestly beautiful.

[@codydaniel4902]

when it comes to adding several elements to music, Rostam never disappoints

[@retrogal96]

i love his voice its beautiful reminds me of the sun

[@teddybreihan]

He's able to sing so softly without losing his power.

[@MrDonason]

this song is the perfect song to wake up too its just so great and fills you with joy and enthusiasm to start your day..

[@Aaronbe83]

Seriously how does this have less hits than half the cat videos on here. This song is addicting... Beautiful Rostam.

[@aunthaumv3711]

WOW, this is awesome..he should make more stuff like this

[@beanladder]

This is absolutely amazing. I really hope he makes more solo music in the future.

[@SaeEDKh313]

StellaLou your wish came true

[@clumsiii]

O Rostam, I'm here. Thank you. This is so elegant and wild Please tour again - I can make it to seattle or portland. Beautiful

[@fyekhalili]

I just love your voice. The music is awesome.

[@racquellebaysa7378]

Rostam is literally so perfect I cry I love him so much wow

[@WalterNoname]

It's incredible that there are people around which don't like this song...

[@ManuNebula3000]

I once heard this at a Barnes and Noble and I fell I love with it. Glad I had Shazam

[@EliseBoulanger]

Does anybody know any songs that have similar elements with insturmentals? Yes, there is Vampire Weekend, but anything else?!! I love this too much!

[@deathpaper]

12 years late but try listen to Caroline Polachek and Ramona Lisa. I think they're kind of similar in the music genre

[@juliancisthebest]

This is perfect oh my goodness. It makes me sad that Rostam will never get as much credit in the band as he deserves but sighs what can you do

[@echolake85]

So glad I came across this with spring just around the corner!

[@mmmk1616]

Saw him on Vice News and had to hear more of his music. Just awesome!

[@wheres_wolfie]

Tears started welling in my eyes 30 seconds in, and i was only passively listening to this in the background

[@pflerg]

Absolutely beautiful! It brought a tear to my eye. Thank you.

[@TheWickedWizardOfOz1]

I loved hearing this in the end credits to Girl Walk // All Day. I'm gonna check out more of your stuff, I had never heard of you before.

[@GraceMcFadden]

this song is SO PRETTY i can't stand it i'm in love

[@speranza91986]

@Burton82190 He's a the joint songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist in Vampire Weekend. I think "backing singer" is a bit of an understatement.

[@Burton82190]

@nuckinfuts24 This is one of the backing singers from Vampire Weekend... Ezra is the lead singer of VW. Rostam does write some of the songs for VW though.

[@quicksilver4061]

this is a masterpiece! good luck with creating more music like this :D

[@savagejones]

Hot damn, this is ludicrously pleasant.

[@Musicasaurus]

this song seems so colorful and precious. Ahh wow thank you so much for this :)

I always felt that rostam got not as much recognition as he deserved in VW... I am glad he is working on his stuff so he can get the exposure he deserves. Keep up the good work my friend. Most don't know that VW's success and melody, production and other factors were all because of rostam. Hope to hear many good tunes from you. p.s sounds a bit like D Byrne. :)

[@seeingmusicLA]

What style/kind of music is this? I love it

[@miacarter2126]

fernanda sanchez Persian influenced. Hence the sitar. However, it's not just restricted to that. He goes above and beyond fusing traditional Persian melodies to more contemporary material.

if Wes Anderson knew, he would have definitely waited to shoot Darjeeling Limited until this song was composed,

[@garfreeek]

i think there isn't an interview out there where ezra hasn't also said something about rostam's awesomeness, ik was so bad i thought rostam did everything and ezra only sang the songs! So please don't act like yoko ono's here, i believe that's still uncalled for ^_^
