LYRICS
Oh walk on the water -- for me
Just for me baby o.k.
Oh, there’s always gon’ be pressure o.k.
“Pressure”
Nothing’s ever worse than work unnoticed
Freelance now, yeah I guess you earned it
Life is only wishing we could load it
Level up you got to make a bonus
Mystic staring at his phone for oneness
Silver or black mirror, what’s the difference?
Imitation always gets a bad rep man
Witches Brew had me on on the first sip, man
Smells like Autumn, smells like leaves
You don’t know that you’re rust and not belong
So much
And then you get left alone
Cloud hidden and my whereabouts unknown
Cazedero got me wearing all camo
Decked in Patagonia head to toe
Down for whatever, I think I let go
No more shoes and socks, I only rock sandals
I can’t tell if I’m hip or getting old
I can’t hear you, maybe you could change your tone
People tend to listen when they see your soul
Oh walk on water -- for me
Just for me baby
Sometimes I think we are from the same place
Now I don’t
What just happened?

I get Of Montreal, with the obvious nod to Ugly Cassanova/Isaac Brock's lyrics.

[@rachaelkp]

Yes. Like Daft Punk, ATB, Hedcandy label. Very SoBe & Tel Aviv. Yummy.

[@rodrigonahuelgomezromero4733]

This song have same chords that ''Something About Us'', just half-step up

[@fernandovilla3956]

Vanessa Bernal my friend says the same thing. At first I didn’t see it. I saw more of thundercat vibes with EDM elements and some funk as well. Now I see it as well and it makes sense since daft punk makes edm and French house music. Song is similar to Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger and Something About Us. Either way they both rock.

[@cadenchicoine2985]

Every song Chaz makes is just astounding. Each one is like an individual painting that comes together to make an even bigger piece of art: his albums. And then the culmination of all of his albums results in the masterpiece we know of as "Toro Y Moi". I can't wait to see what shades and colors this new album will contribute to his handiwork! Let the Hyping begin!

[@ezazveelogs2478]

Hes honestly one of the best musicians/artists of this decade

[@cadenchicoine2985]

Totally

[@zachhilleary166]

Not bad, but he took some lyrics from an Ugly Casanova song, "Hotcha Girls".

[@frankyjoy222]

Its one of my favorite Toro y Moi songs! Its got flow and makes you move. But the best part is the song showing you that he's just having fun making a song.

[@arletteniragira511]

He that nonchalant demeanor even excudes through the thumbnail; you assume the song is gonna be just as chill at him. Nope. This is a certified bop. Its funky as hell. But it still retains, maintains, holds that effortless nonchalant flair to it.
