Lyrics:
(Kevin Abstract)
I think it's my friend
Or is it a thief
You ain't been discreet
This ain't a new theme
Mistakes crack open the fruit
I birthed a thousand trees
(Lev)
I can’t see who’s hiding in the weeds
I think he’s my friend, he could be a thief
You ain’t being discrete
I’m out on the street again
Heaven is an island that's not far away from here
Right behind both of my eyelids, in between both of my ears
Natural forces keep on smiling, casting spells made out of tears
A charming man who goes the distance, tries to be a puppeteer
Tries to control every motion, has to always interfere
Baby let it go, let it go
Once in a lifetime, it’s radical
Sparks fly, irrational
Watch it all burn to the floor, irrational
Don't let it go if you think you have it
Don’t let it go, hold it with a passion
Smoke and mirrors got you looking at distractions
Even though it’s got you hoping that it’s magic
I'm under a spell, with tunnel visions
Nobody to help these superstitions
It's hard to tell, nobody listens
(Lev)
I can’t see who’s hiding in the weeds
I think he’s my friend, he could be a thief
You ain’t being discrete
I’m out on the street again
Park that car
Drop that phone
Sleep on the floor
Dream about me
Once in a lifetime, it’s radical
Sparks fly, irrational
Watch it all burn to the floor, irrational
Don't let it go if you think you have it
Don’t let it go, hold it with a passion
Smoke and mirrors got you looking at distractions
Even though it’s got you hoping that it's magic

[@yarisparis]

When Chaz said "park that car, drop that phone...." my jaw dropped.....

[@2wentyhertz]

i got chills ngl

[@CaptianBlackSwagger]

bruh sameeee I literally said "shut the fuck up" out loud lol

[@holyheckingheals]

that broken social scene reference

[@mokichino]

I literally started weeping. This hits so hard.

[@dylr7883]

i was like siiighh.. i cant get away guess ill buy tickets now stop being my family dude

[@sayday15]

Hitting us with that broken social scene verse moody as hell . ❤🥳

[@garrisonwortham9336]

I knew I recognized that. I just couldn’t remember where from. Thanks!

[@RuddGerrath]

That Broken Social Scene verse gave me chills

[@keeganbeegan1616]

Please never stop doing what you do

[@user-xn4xw9yv5v]

Reminds me of when I used to ride my bike alone as a kid in my neighborhood as the sun was setting. It’s a beautiful song.

[@tristankerr3655]

Hell yeah those were the days

[@GeoffGorman08]

*"So what type of music do you make? Like what style or genre?"* Chaz: _"Yes."_

[@borp6912]

Back in like 2006 Chaz was handing out cd-rs of his music for free to people outside of a Broken Social Scene show at the Music Farm in Charleston, SC. The guy knew what he wanted and never stopped ♥

[@jazzyaffi]

TORO Y MWAH😚

[@csofolo]

Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl, yes please. Nostalgia in FULL EFFECT. 🖤

[@rogerr472]

Oh yeah I didn’t recognize it at first. I remember that being in the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack.

[@bluetreacle]

i love toro y moi, but it always seems like he's on the egde of making something spectacular. he has the ability to be one of the biggest around, but never seems to cross that line fully. i think he knows he could make bangers that go around the world, but chooses to make what he wants. i respect that.

[@dudeguy7812]

glazer

[@LukePluto]

i think his music is extremely meaningful to some people and it doesn't matter if there isn't bigger mainstream appeal. I'd describe a solid portion of his catalog as spectacular too

[@zaneghiskhan]

​@dudeguy7812 comments like that are poison for free discourse of ideas, stop being jaded and lowest common denominator, and actually evaluate the comment for what it's worth

[@NotaBOTopie]

Toro y Moi is the artist that I recommend like 100% of the time. He ticks off all the boxes to all my favorite genres especially when you listen to Les Sins as well

[@ruolov1]

Toro went from chillwave to electro to disco to soul to country to soul rap. Keep doing it! Feel-good vibes as always from Chaz!

[@Guilhemax]

Insanely good, nostalgic toro will always be my favorite. It kinda evokes some boo boo and underneath the pine feeling but with the modern trap and rap sound of today

[@elianaceballos7611]

i listen to boo boo like once a week to keep sane

[@luisaortega1889]

It reminds me when I used to be happy

[@gamete4375]

There is opportunity

[@WisdomSounds-xo4ws]

🎉 PRAISE JESUS AND Aim for New Jerusalem in KJV BIBLE REVELATION 21.❤😊 JESUS inhabits the PRAISE OF HIS PEOPLE. THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH ❤😊

[@WisdomSounds-xo4ws]

🎉 PRAISE JESUS AND Aim for New Jerusalem in KJV BIBLE REVELATION 21.❤😊 JESUS inhabits the PRAISE OF HIS PEOPLE. THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH ❤ HE INHABITS THE PRAISE OF HIS PEOPLE 🎉😊❤

[@youngshin500]

yep also remind me a happy childhood

[@NNox_]

C'est fantastique. Merci. Love from France

[@Joe-MamaTheThird]

This song and video is seems like an ode to California. Thank you Chaz for making something I could never put into words

[@menzimazibuko1573]

This is what music is supposed to feel like

[@rochakgupta6116]

Possibly the closest a song you have made in such a long time that captures the same feeling as your initial hits. This is so awesome.

[@ARPorganics]

At work taking lunch break. Decided to share it with my beautiful sunflower. What a vibe.

[@minamadeit]

This tickles my brain in the best way.

[@Dasm.]

I will love this song forever

[@c4pri5un]

this song is beautiful

[@emobloomer]

Now I need to take the other Toro song off my summer playlist to add this ✨ great song

[@sum41845]

もっとたくさんの人に聴いてほしい🇯🇵

[@bobby_obvious]

5 listens deep...this could be my favorite song

[@fmcdomer]

Probably his best song. Im no expert

[@MrMorgenSonnen]

Noones ever hit home more than you. 💛

[@alfonsocontreras1761]

Love to see Toro y Moi evolving as always! Thanks for the great songs I've been listening to since I started in 2010. Crazy how this is just what I needed, there's still a hint of that artistic style you've always had, like a light and yet it's so different just like how I feel I've changed since then. Life can seem more magic at times but the reality is that feeling can always be in life if you just let simple love be there. Great video, song, and message, thank you.

[@abot6783]

Chaz has no shortage of ideas… I hope he keeps this pace up for years to come.

[@adonai3676]

The collab I've truly been waiting for all these years

[@johnlompa1998]

concord california, wow

[@benjamintryon813]

Seems like he always does his videos set in a place somewhere in California, especially the bay

[@reinaldo.elprofe]

road on a bike... its heaven for my. Great music.. thanks. a big hugh from Venezuela!

[@pinkyandthebrain99]

“ Anthems for a 17 year-old girl “ the use and timing of that in this song 👌🏾🙌🏾

[@IamINERT]

I know this gonna be on repeat for me this whole month

[@benisntokay]

This is it.

[@MZ123Z]

This absolutely crushed me

[@quantumrelay]

[@user-br6wj9gy2i]

ありがとう、日本からも愛を

[@kaleb4256]

Nice Broken Social Scene reference!

[@420kmckay]

Now I really wish I brought my bike to work today. Either way, Happy Friday!

[@slaptasstic]

No fear, no distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide. (Slide.)

This song is spanning generations in the comments right now in this common feeling that it evokes: nostalgia and now all at the same time. Love seeing this and I love that you inspired it to happen.
