Thundercat was struggling to finish the verses whilst in the studio due to being so emotional, if you listen closely you can hear where Fly Lo had to clip some of the verses and echo it out; read about it in an interview he did for Apocalypse. Truly truly beautiful track.

[@mereani]

One week since my Dad passed away. This song has comforted me through many tough seasons before and now it comforts me again. Thank you Thundercat, Flylo and Ryuichi Sakamoto. I miss you, Dad and love you so much ❤️ Love your Champion xx

I'd pay to see him perform this song live with an orchestra and the conductor who put this the og song together

This sounds like music from a Haiyo Miyazaki movie. I love it. Sorry for your loss, thundercat

[@sleepnabox]

Its a Ryuchi Sakamoto sample. El Mar Mediterrani. Dope as hell.

THANK YOU!!!!

Yung Napkin ryuichi. My bad. No prob. Its da opening theme for 92 Olympics.

[@Diggy22]

+sleepnabox I love Sakamoto's work. His album 1996 is one of my favorites.

[@lagune4328]

+Will ! Ryuichi Sakamoto pretty much invented the Ghibli music sound. Joe Hisaishi, the composer for a lot of Miyazaki's work hasn't hidden the fact that he was influenced by Mr. Sakamoto

[@RazorEdge2006]

The sample is Ryuchi Sakamoto's "El Mar Mediterrani", which was used in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

[@trevorbaker1645]

I know I'll see you again In another life Thank you for sharing your love and your light Though we say goodbye We will say hello again You'll always live in our hearts and our minds Thank you for being a friend That you were to me I cherish the moments of all our good time You traveled beyond Your legacy lives on Go forward as the eagle To your endless majesty I know I will see you again In another life Thank you for sharing your light with the world Travel beyond Your legacy lives on Now enter the void Forever

Gives me chills every time I listen to it. The tremendous amount of love he has for his friend Austin is melting. True friendship, still together in spirit. RIP Austin Peralta!

Man, my eyes filled up with tears the first few seconds of this song. Then came the lyrics and 😭. As if all of a sudden I understood the meaning of life and death. Thank you, Thundercat. RIP Austin Peralta and the rest of the fallen soldiers.🙏🏽

Made me cry too, a few times. But after, that kind of view through life (lyrics) comes with an smile by his side

[@aarontaylor2808]

I recently discovered Thunder cat only a few ago during the beginning of the pandemic and I was introduced to this beautiful, heartbreaking song that strongly reflects my life and the lovely memories and the people who inspired them. God continue to bless musicians who have heart to touch others. The tears may flow, but the smile returns also.

Such a shame about Austin. I can only imagine the insane music that he would have been making with the Brainfeeder artists today. RIP.

[@knowun]

I just found out one of my friends from high school passed away yesterday. This song offers a little bit of solace. I am reminded of how he was there for me when I needed him and also of the fact that he was a genuinely good person. I regret not seeing him since our days in college. He played the guitar and the mandolin. I'd like to think that he will now get to jam with all of the musicians he admired from times past. I'd like to think that eventually I will be jamming with them too. Thank you for being my friend, Tyler. I will remember you whenever I play my guitar.

[@pierrebush662]

Definitely one of the best tributes I have ever heard from a musician.....bravo sir....we will all enter the void...it is unavoidable...the least we can do is to learn to accept this inevitability and appreciate the ones who go before us....

I love you grandpa, grandma, mom, and my homeboy Stephan. Let’s run this simulation one more, I need to know I can see you all again, I only wish I could time travel before that time I do this again, with a blank slate. I want so badly to have your warmness touch my cold heart. 23 years alive and I’m utterly miserable; only here to await suicide following the loss of my other loved ones

[@joshuakoppes3665]

❤️ we all in this . let’s live the life for our loved ones who couldn’t

[@KB-wh9bu]

Just saw this today..was sent to me by bro-in-law as we are coming up on the one year mark of losing the physical presence of his brother, my husband, my best friend, the love of my infinity, and only real safe place I ever had in this life. So I can relate to the sentiments you express. At the same time, hearing someone else express thoughts of leaving, makes me want to reach out and ask you to reconsider. You're only 25. And yes in deep grief. I'm 53 with much less life before me than you. But you know what? What kept me here at first was our dog...I can't leave her with additional pain to lose him AND me...and that's still my primary reason for staying, but i'm also afraid that if i take myself out that i'll have to repeat this lesson in the next life. And I never want to feel this completely destroying pain again. I'm still mad and don't understand how long I'm expected to go on without him, or WHY. But I wanted to let you know, even if you don't have any real friends, like myself, and can't find a reason to stay, consider that one...if we only have to "get through it" this life, maybe we should stick it out...just so we don't have to repeat it. I def don't ever want to feel this again. Hope this helps.. try talking to them too...they are still with you...this I know.❤

[@caseyroberts2058]

sounds like it should be sampled for a beat on an old Kanye record or something. Love it

For those of you who don't know, the third part of the song (Enter The Void) is a redux of Echidna's Arf by The Great George Duke.

[@bl00d5h0ck]

Just read this 😭😭: Via Flying Lotus’s Twitter commentary: "u wanna see some sad shit.. see us try to record this song about @AustinPeralta … he would try to record. then he would cry.. then he would be stronger i would hear him sing this acapella because he had headphones on. id cry … hearing him try to fight thru crying to sing this.. damn. … so.. we gave up … we said… fuck it.. make the demo vocals sound as good as possible. i couldn’t finish it so i passed this song to @daddykev to mix the vox. i remember playing this for @strangelooptv and when i heard him cry i knew we did the right thing. i was also worried that nobody would get it but people who knew us or knew austin. so many people have told me its their favorite [though]. thats how i knew it would be impossible for @Thundercatbass to fail."

According to Wikipedia, Thundercat is a Christian. I have caught a few biblical references in some of his songs. His attitude toward death in this song is a beautiful expression of that faith and eternal reassurance.
