The Uncluded - Delicate Cycle (Official Video)

[@mrskimyadawson]

The "original" that you likely heard was from a Daytrotter session. Which is basically like live internet radio. It wasn't something we technically recorded for ourselves. We love that one too and are glad it exists but it was never our intention to use that as the album version. It's special, like every recording folks do for Daytrotter. You are probably just super used to that one. Maybe this one will grow on you too. :)

[@MikeHunt-jx1bf]

You da stuffs...

[@floofygod]

Thanks Kimya for all the smiles and love I've spread with your music 💜

[@pisssommelier768]

Faaaaaat

[@weeaboom]

can confirm, this grew on us. a playlist staple for nearly a decade now. 🥰

[@joeydurant6267]

Had a hippy girl hook me up with a shirt at the head shop turn me on to this yesterday

[@tonytwotries1162]

that "hi" that aesop rock and kimya dawson does just warms my heart up so much!

[@CasperInkyMagoo]

A lot of Aesop’s music comes from his struggle, and for a long time I was sure we’d lose him. That smile gives me hope for him. I don’t know what I’d do without his music.

[@portfolio641]

the first thing I remembered!

[@cheezwhiz1025]

Omg me too. This is my comfort song for hard times

[@poisonedivysaur]

It's super wholesome.

[@spencerworm6296]

[@MermaidSeaate]

Kimya, I've loved you since you chomped on my hair at a show in Durham when I was a teenager. I didn't think I could love you any more, but then I became a mom, and now I appreciate everything you stand for that much more. Thank you for being such a badass musician and mama. We love you!

[@MoarPretzels4Boiz]

How did it take me so long to find a band composed literally of my two favorite musicians

[@theserulesoflife]

I'm ashamed to admit I'm an Aesop fan and have all his albums, but didn't even know about this project. I'll turn over my card and show myself out.

[@jacksonbartlett8405]

[@vetonrecica5558]

You don't have to do that,or fell ashamed.I'm a newer aesop fan,mostly akin to none shall pass,skelethon and the impossible kid.When I found out about aesops way old carrier I told myself I will listen to anything aesop.now I'm in love with his daylight ep.I'm mostly surprised with this project.

[@Cannonhead]

This whole song just played in an ad while I was listening to a lofi hip-hop mix. I’ve never been happier to have been interrupted.

[@cocothaiskunk]

I remember in high-school seeing Kimya and Aesop Rock in concert. It was one of the best shows I've ever been to! Now as an adult I'm listening to this song for the first time in years and so much I can relate to now. I'm 26 living in my first place that has a washer in dryer in it and I just applied to be a lunch lady at my son's school lol!

[@poughkeepsieblue]

I just wanma say again, this is one of the most beautiful things ive ever had the blessing to experience. I absolutely love it, and when she talks about her dad, it hits me in a place that reminds me how much i appreciate my father. This is an absolute masterpiece. As is the entire album. Thank you both.

[@shotbyfabi]

Haven’t seen this in so long, glad it was randomly recommended.

[@thedopegod1134]

This song makes me tear up every time. Makes me miss being a kid

[@ryandemers3571]

These are some of the most talented artists.

[@rhymesayers]

Thanks for that! We shared it on The Uncluded's facebook page and our twitter. Glad you enjoy it.

[@WoojBanks2]

[@rhymesayers]

Thanks to everyone who commented and asked questions for Aesop and Kimya! Their new album as The Uncluded comes out May 7th. Pre-order today on iTunes or Fifth Element Online dot com and get "Delicate Cycle" immediately. Please "like", share, and enjoy this video!

[@ghostprotocal6278]

I wanna thank RSE for bringing us this

[@jmlindsey90]

Any time I am in pain. I listen to this song. I cry, and I heal. This song has gotten me and so many others through such difficult times. Thank you for putting a piece of yourselves on the page for all of us.

[@shelbycampos8608]

Im 14, and this song just reminds me when i was little, like i wanna run through some sprinklers in the grass in slow motion and not have the stress of what people thought or how life was going to go or how much struggles i would have. I love Kimya, and she has always made me feel happy and has been there for me when i needed it, and i love how all her songs just relate to how im feeling, she's so amazing in so many levels.

[@GathererThompson]

Never a better time for running through sprinklers than 2021.

[@crabmannyjoe2]

How do you feel at 23? I'm guessing you feel the same age but everything is way more complicated.

[@treble_yt9085]

I'm 12 I have this same feeling

[@matthewyuells7825]

Thank you so much for the awesome song, and I don't have the words for how I feel about the video but we need many more like it.

[@AmethystRemembrance]

I have been listening to this song almost every day since I first heard it though Daytrotter. I just want to say thank you to you both--I've been a fan of both of your works separately for many years and your music always got me through the darkest times. I'm an English teacher now for "at-risk" kids and we'll be using this song in our poetry class next week. I've got many students who are fans as well and want me to say hi! They're taking a mid-term right now while I post this Much love! Jamie

[@rodeofrancisco6130]

I just cried to this video. Enjoyed it thoroughly and then towards the end, I realized that all of the animals were disfigured in some way. I love you guys and your music! All humans should be as compassionate as y'all! 😊

[@mjurkiewicz78]

Pure, unbridled, raw, unvarnished genuine humanity. It screams gentleness. Gets me in the gut every time I hear it. ❤

[@ResidualGhosts]

Kimya!!! i just wanna say. i'm 34, and this song brought out that little piece of child that i still have in me. For you and Aesop to actually put out an album together is the most unexpected and perfect union in musical enlightment. I'm way to broke to be buying an album right now. But as soon as i do. THNKA YOU!!!!!

[@HotLikeButta]

This is one of those musical combos that comes once in a generation. The combination that you'd never see coming, but when they come together it's oh so right. I could listen to this song four hours straight.

[@summer2011leggo]

I can't explain why they fit together but they just do! So well! Like the muscal match up works!

[@Littus2010]

(Aesop) I can take my finger off, old dog, old trick, New twist, like actually take the finger off, Wrap it in a blanket as you would a Severed horse head, mail it to a friend you Wanna pinky swear more with, and should They need a forearm or something they Can practice drawing skulls on, cut it From the shoulder while the saw's warm, the Full appendage really make a world of Difference, included too are 30 teeth to Chew out all your critics, 32 would've Been perfect, 2 were casualties of It's-its, I always wanted radder things for Christmas, the rest work cool, I'm shipping Out a torso in the A.M., you should learn To hit the organs every time at 40 paces, It's important, I can't explain why now, by The way, legs in a crate delivery by Today, if a uniformed man knock-knock, sign His documents, you shouldn't have to walk Out to the mailbox for the other shit (Kimya) My mom was a lunch lady when i was in elementary school, She was outside during recess, she had a whistle and I thought That that was cool, she was really nice to all the kids who didn't Have a lot of friends, she would give them hugs and tell them jokes Or she'd play catch with them, and my dad worked at the laundromat Which was really cool to me, I'd get to open up the washing machines, And clean them out, and collect the money, and I'd open the soap Dispenser and put new little boxes of soap inside, I knew how it worked, And I was good at it, and helping out filled me with a sense of pride, I would meet all kinds of people there and I would look them in the eye, And I'd say "Hi, excuse me but do you mind if I shine the glass while your clothes dry?" (Both) My whole life is a delicate cycle. (Aesop) Inside a jar with a lid, a giant arm With a head, they say it used to walk Upright and like(light?) New York after 10, one Day it woke up out of order nothing more To extend, delicate cycle in the alpha Of its orbiting's end (zen?), when interpersonal Skill is already poor at its best, a Conversation can be riddled with exorbitant Debt, and you don't know it, but I know I owe you More than I've kept, so if you find a biohazard By your door on the step, maybe it couldn't Find its faculties but swore it would help, Wanted to be a larger part than his Abnormalcies let, hang on , I'm over-nighting Eyes with a headlight deer stare, one up Vin van, UPS an ear pair, wear them if you Need a new perspective on a weird year, and One day when I'm better we can square Away a fair share, the last frame silhouetted By the sun was an air mail stamp on a still- warm tongue. (Kimya) I was twenty-six years old the first time I lived in a house with a Washer and dryer in it and that's the year I bottomed out, maybe What was missing was the sense of community that comes from Hauling your big old load out in public and airing your dirty Laundry in the company of other people who also don't have the amenities at their convenience in a home that's so set up that They never have to leave, I miss the smell, the dust, the coins, the Trust, the squeaky cards, the vibrations, the bucket full of bleach, The dryer sheets, the old payphone, the giant sink, *I'd watch my Daddy mop the floor, and my heart started with a quarter.* *Repeat once (Both) My whole life is a delicate cycle. (this was found on a lyrics wikia i apologize if any of these lyrics are incorrect i placed parenthesis in a couple spaces where i was unsure. Please if any are spotted feel free to post corrections it would be greatly appreciated. i hope those of you out there have a good day.) :)

[@RIPJimmySullivan1981]

I hope Aes and Kimya do more together some day. This is one of my favorite albums, and they work really well together musically!

[@AmiaArt]

Aes and Kimya, thanks so much for putting life experiences into songs...ones we can relate to in one way or another. Delicate Cycle in particular brought me to tears seeing how both humans and animals can overcome trials and live a happy & fulfilling life. My doggie Wolfgang who is 6, is being tested right now for lymphoma cancer and we'll know by tomorrow, so it really hit home for me & the fact that my life is on Delicate Cycle. You are truly uplifting and encouraging. Thank you so much.

[@spaceurchin114]

When it comes to RSE, I am mostly into Atmosphere, Dem Atlas, Brother Ali and bump Aesop Rock every now and again, but this is the first time I ever hear the Uncluded. I had heard of them, but I finally got around to really experiencing them. And this song in itself fills me up with so much joy and inspiration, that my linguistic skills could barely hold even a smidgen of how I really feel about it. Sometimes I think things along the lines of: the human race is a disease of this planet, AND our mainstream music is a prime example of our distorted priorities - money, lust, greed and delusion - But then I hear this... and I'm like: nah man... that's only one piece of the whole pie.

[@spaceurchin114]

I read the lyrics on rap genius, but how does what I wrote have to do with me missing out parts of what Aesop talked about? I`d like it if you elaborate.
