Space Lion - Cowboy Bebop

This song and anime are very important to me, so I wanted to tribute both.
“Space Lion” composed by Yoko Kanno and performed by the Seatbelts

Here in 2024, most if not all of us space cowboys are still carrying that weight. See ya'll in the stars.

[@erichzahn3926]

honestly it feels like too much to bear

[@SamuraiShampoo77]

this video pretty much encapsulates why this is very arguably the best anime that's ever been made

[@shenlanse5446]

Ed y Ein siguieron adelante en sus vidas, después de todo, nunca tuvieron ataduras (que puros son esos 2). Jet Black tal cual como alguien maduro, dejo el pasado y se centro en el presente. Faye Valentine recordó su pasado, pero no se sintió contenta por que, si bien tiene un lugar al cual considera "hogar" se dio cuenta de que es muy tarde (por eso al final se quedo en el Bebop) y empeoro cuando se dio cuenta, que la persona que le dijo "No te atormentes por el pasado, mejor disfruta el presente", desaparecería para nunca volver. Spike Spiegel.............. no es que haya descubierto que estaba vivo................ SIEMPRE ESTUVO VIVO....... al igual que las personas que le hicieron reflexionar sobre la vida (se muestra muy relajado y que solo le importa su trabajo, pero al final de día si le importa lo que pudo haber sido de esa gente si fuesen otras circunstancias).

[@domthesupa]

I can't believe the many times I came across Cowboy Bebop I didn't even consider watching it until recently. I thought the show would be some kind of comedic western. I like anime that gets dark, deep thinking, and hit serious subjects. Boy was I wrong about this show and I'm glad I experienced. Cowboy Bebop is timeless for a show that aired in the late 90s. It ages very very well. If this show was to air this year, the story line would still be considered fresh and original compared to others. How many times you watch a show or movie and you can guess what happens next because of the predictability of the writing. Cowboy Bebop is a gem and I can see why this show was one of the first few big animes to be successful in the west. From the stunning visuals, chill soundtrack, great English voice work (I realized Steve Blum the voice of T.O.M, voiced Spike), to the little sayings after each episode. This will go down as one of my favorite animes, and I'm not even a huge anime guy. See you space cowboy.

[@daystillnight]

Yeah man, absolutely share your passion for it. Not only is it great visually, but the soundtrack is also spectacular, I listen to it almost every day. The message of "You're gonna carry that weight" is something I think of a lot too, and I love the way it coveys this message. I can only be grateful for having watched this anime when I did, it is very important to me.

[@domthesupa]

@@daystillnight That is a good message, especially for the finale. How would you define that message, I know everyone decipher it in their own way. I look at it as no matter how hard things may get, it's best for us to keep on keeping on. No matter if the world feels like it's ending or the walls is crashing down, keep going. Because something out there is still worth living for, even if it's only a small percentage

[@daystillnight]

@@domthesupa I always saw it as accepting that what has happened has already happened, and its a part of you forever now, all you can do is accept its weight on your shoulders and carry on…

[@TBT707]

Sammee i heard watch cowboy bebop so many times but didnt think twice about it and just walked on in life not watching it, and then i went back and watched it and i loved it. Im scared to finish it.

I get chills from this video. The song, the mood, the shots, it's all such a specific kind of melancholy-but-beautiful vibe.

[@biglemon8019]

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

[@jacobkittipol2546]

Earlier this year (2023), I put this on as I was driving home from my last day of work at a job I had come to fully hate, knowing that in two days I was also going to be moving to a different state in pursuit of a new opportunity. It had been an incredibly difficult year to say the least. The feeling this track evoked for me as I was making my way home (which was about to NOT be my home) is one of letting go of the weight, stress, former ambitions/goals of the previous endeavor and just embracing the new journey that lay ahead. There was sadness in leaving the people I had come to know, but at last I was free to move on and pursue what I had been putting off for years. TLDR; the weight and eventual relief that is involved in moving on from a difficult time/experience is captured so well in Space Lion, something that the characters in Bebop have to do many times.

[@daystillnight]

No better song for that than this i agree. Hope you have adapted to your new home and if not may 2024 be easier on you :)

[@xiquai]

This is definitely THE best space lion edit i have seen. This song always makes me cry, and you really captured the essence of cowboy bebop: seeking where you belong, trying to find your way, trying to make your way “home”. Just beautiful, amazing work

[@daystillnight]

:) thanks

[@valerydesaintambroise]

i love how with every year that passes , this show , still brings in new people to enjoy it and its perpective on life and its eventfull stories.

[@daystillnight]

Yes. It will be forever a classic

[@ZZubZZero]

I'm a little jealous but mostly so happy for people that haven't seen this show yet.

[@korimattox8786]

This song touches me deeply..the saxophone is so dreamlike.. it's rendered so well..just love it. When the percussion comes in and blends with the throaty sax..then the children singing..just magic

[@TifffanyTaylor]

It hits so deep for me, I worry I'm attributing meaning that isn't really there. Feels like reflecting on a lifetime of feelings and memories.

This song just fills me with such emotion I cry every time I hear it. It just fills me with such melancholy and a sense of loss. Of lost friends lost lovers all the mistakes I’ve made and yet I’m still here and still moving onwards but to towards what. Nothing. I’m just watching a dream I never wake up from. See you space cowboys.

Best Anime in the world

[@TheMerrle]

Can anyone believe that this track has been a part of me and my memories for 22 years, with a special place in my heart, and I have never seen Cowboy Bebop - until today? I am serious. And today after 22 years I’ve seen the scene where it was used in the anime for the first time. We all make our own reality - and the sadness I’ve „saved“ with this song is comparable to this anime scene. Strange and amazing at the same time. Must be a great anime

[@daystillnight]

How did u find it originally? Thats interesting, u probably get a different impression from it than most of us. Now, GO WATCH IT

[@TheMerrle]

@@daystillnight In 2002 there was an anime convention in Germany where I live and a friend brought an anime soundtrack CD with us to listen to div trax on our way to the convention (hundreds of km/miles) and even though he and the girlfriend which was with me are both not part of mine anymore since decades - „space lion“ remembers me in a time, where we had great moments and fun. The sadness is, I will never get to know if they are still alive, have a family, are glad or sad. Hard to describe why this is so important to me, combined with this track but - I think everyone of us here has people in their memories in which they remember with sadness - and connect these people and moments with special tracks or kind of music. Such a song/track is space lion for me. Even though I haven’t experienced it’s initial purpose, what it’s been made for ☺️ well, anyway - it’s one of the most wonderful anime tracks I know and it always makes me looking to the clouds…. A great time to everyone here! Enjoy and feel every moment with people which are important to you and which makes you feel comfortable 🙏 @daystill - maybe you’re right it’s finally time to watch this (masterpiece?) 😺

[@daystillnight]

@@TheMerrle yeah its got its own purpose for you thats neat. 2002 so long ago, must be very nostalgic! Yeah do watch it eventually, the anime has themes of sadness in remembering people in the past and memories, maybe itll only make the song even more powerful for you
