I actually met him after a show in Boston a few years back. Shook his hand and told him that his music changed my life. He didn't say much but it meant a lot that he would talk to his fans 😍✌🏻
Being young in the 80s listening to new wave and early alternative I expected this type of sound to be the NEXT evolution in the 90s and 00s and damn if it wasn't...I just turned 40 and NOW it's FINALLY happening. Better late than never. LOVE what people are putting out like Toro y Moi 💜
Hey, your comment caught my eye and it appears there's no way to directly contact users on RUclips through private message. Just wanted to ask... since you grew up in the 80s listening to new wave. Have you heard this song? ruclips.net/video/miwaMA_EbOc/видео.html All the best,
I remember when this song first came out and it was a free song that came on an Urban Outfitters promo code. I liked it so much I'd play it over and over again. Good times
This takes nostalgia and somehow takes up by a factor of 3. even though it's only some 5 years old. It gives you this feeling of reflection. Maybe about nothing specifically but just the feeling of being nostalgic, like the feeling of remembering good times from the past, but not actually thinking about the past.
This song brings me back to 5th grade when I had my dad's old leather jacket and I thought I was the shit. This was my Jam and helped carve my love for chill tunes and post ironic retroism. Yes, post ironic retroism is now a thing. Welcome to current year!
Pizaz0 this stuff was my jam since 8th grade fam. Played it while'st in Uganda, Africa to pass the time between activities. Now I'm in college and getting back into the ChazJazz
In no way is it better, because new digital footage can be made to look just like this through editing, but I wont deny that it has a cool style, especially when use in context along with this song. The closer digital footage is to real life, the more you can do with it after the fact. Real life has no DOF, and you can add it, but not get rid of it, etc... just as an example.
That point starting at 1:44, right when he then says "...alone", man, I feel like I just crossed into another dimension of musical bliss! Definitely a favorite song of mine when I'm driving home from school late at night on an empty freeway.
This song and video always had a positive feeling under the influence of psychedelics. It's so unusual to hear a sound like this. Thank you Chad and the members for creating a sound that has a universal flow in our existence for this generation and the ones that are to come. Peace for the world don't let the national barriers separate you with lies and illusions. Accept that everyone and every creature has a nature of it's own. You cannot change that but evolve and grow from the very experience you have now which is existence. Pass it along and express yourselves! 👍✌ C.Allan. NM, USA.
your kids will always become half of you/family and half of the environment they live in (school, neighborhood friends) . The tv is there only to desensitize and confuse us.
Rudi Pereira ugghh you're making me come to some self realizations. I was once defined by those things and there wasn't much great to note about either. Even though ill always be defined somewhat by those things I realize now how much control I have over life and how much I can grow out of those old things with the right decisions.
This music is somehow outside of time (and space)... When this song came out around 2010, I accidentally heard it and fell in love with it. Became my all time favourite. No one knows about this track back then... About 7-8 years ago I walked in a small pub in Budapest and the bartenders listened to it. Wow, that was a miracle for me...
I love the way that I feel included in the music video, because seeing Chaz with a genuine smile on his face makes it feel like he's smiling at me. Gosh I love Toro Y Moi
I first heard them from watching "The Wedge" here in Canada on Much Music. I'm going to listen to it again. This song is really good and speaks to me for some reason.
I almost get the feeling that the narrator is a ghost who has come back to find his family...but he's completely alone. Definitely has a "dancing at midnight in the haunted house" kind of feeling to it. Very autumnal and it has been a pleasure to listen to it all these years. :)
It was my senior year of high school, drive with Ryan gosling came out, I remember coming across this on my way home thinking how good the movie and music is. I wouldn’t stop dancing on my way home. Funny story too one of my high school teachers looked a lot like toro, he always got pissed that me and my friends would call him that lol
Time machine music. It has that take you back type of feel. Where the F... have i been? 10yr old record? I just heard this on Sirius, rushed out of my car flipped open the ol' laptop thinking this is a new release and Boom!!!! Frigging song dropped a decade ago? This man is a Genius. I wonder why this Chaz guy didn't pick up where the Neptunes left off? GD no talent searching record companies is probably why.
@@Byzantium_ The world froze after 2019, people are calling it "The longest year" because it effects are still going on. I look back at a pre-2018 world and I see a MUCH better place, these songs remind me of that time. I'm glad I can still remember as much as I can, but I think people are almost trying to forget. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but this music makes me remember a freer time and state of mind. ~ Cheers.
It's hard where you're living Adding weight to make it balanced Saying it could be too much But he's clasping to his tie There was a finer life When I was with my friends and I could always see my family That's what I still want now Even if I'm here and I know they won't be waiting Cause I don't want to be alone I don't want to be here alone While you're there give back a little more The return could make you notice That I'm thinking of a moment And know its still sound There was a finer life when you were with us here And we knew there was a next time That's what I still want now Even if I'm there and I think that you won't be waiting Cause I don't want to be alone It's hard where you're living It's hard where you're living It's hard where you're living Cause I don't want to be alone I don't want to be here alone
Yeah I think that's what the video is filmed on its an old school camera used in the 60s and 70s mostly for home footage gives an awesome sense of nostalgia
geez 10 years ago, I can't believe it. I didn't hear this song until 5 years ago, but still. To think I associated that time as like the present, like modern times and shit... (edit) I also realized, I'll never be able to listen to this song like it was "new" again. I'm so familiar with it even after extended periods of time
I remember watching this when it got less than 80k views. now more than 2mi. wow! I'm not a hipster, I'm only happy for supporting him since his early career. looking forward for a show on Brazil!
Meus Deus, essa é uma das minhas músicas favoritas desse artistas magnífico. Sou muito grato por ter descoberto ele, ele mudou minha vida. Principalmente nesse som é algo inexplicável me remete a minha infância sem preocupação nem ansiedade.
I've been listening to music like this since high school and it's so hard to not be bitter to people just now coming around to it, after shitting on it for so long.
This was the soundtrack to my college life back in 2010
i jus barely started college, the cycle continues
Amen brother driving around windows down late nights
NEVER.GETS.OLD.
Never
@@confeiteiromarxista Damn right !
never
Truth
can't believe this is 10 years ago already!
Right. Super exciting time for music. Toro was a breath of fresh air.
im only 10
11 years
HOLY SHIT 11
kill time before it kills you
crawling out of a depressive time and returning to songs that always put a smile on my face. today's gonna be a good day. 🌸✨
God bless you 🙏🌈
y e s
I understand this music always takes me to a better time
You get me 100% 💩
I hope you are feeling a little better nowadays
The feels you get when you realize this is the music you've been looking for your whole life and you've been missing out on it for 4 years
haha, word!
Indeed
+ChiquitaSpeaks You're only four years old?
this album came out in 2011 i commented in 2015
+SeattleRain ^__________^
Chaz seems like one of the most chill and down to earth dudes on the planet
+Ariel Martin also check Mac DeMarco!
Chaz is babe
Ariel Martin can confirm that Mac Demarco is chill as fuck. Goofy as hell but super nice
I actually met him after a show in Boston a few years back. Shook his hand and told him that his music changed my life. He didn't say much but it meant a lot that he would talk to his fans 😍✌🏻
@@kimh_2023 you talking bout Mac de marco or?
10 years ago i played this song as a dj for my friends in a small bar in Petersburg, it was a good time.
If you like Toro y Moi you might like a band called the Doublejumps
Dude, what a real homie, just dancing how he wants, enjoying his own vibes, doing his thing, showing us all what music is really about.
yes

Well it did kinda happen in the 90s, it was called ACID JAZZ. This is a continuation of that.

All the best,
Jack LaLanne Sooner or later it will be found, don’t worry
I’m 52 and I’m just discovering these guys. #betterlatethannever 🙂🙏🏼
Do I sense a revolution of music? It sounds very much like a rewind to the 70s and 80s, but at the same time modern.
You must be new to indie music.
Warsmith Honsou Yes I am.
If youre seriously new to indie, you've been missin out man
You'll love indie music. It's where musicians can make the music they want, not what sells to the radios
Warsmith Honsou So they don't sell their music? They just make it?
I remember when this song first came out and it was a free song that came on an Urban Outfitters promo code. I liked it so much I'd play it over and over again. Good times
It’s almost 2024 and Chaz is still the greatest artist I’ve ever listened to in my lifetime.
Yesss, I remember listening to this in 2014 late summer night with my headphones in riding my skateboard. Man I miss those times..
His dancing literally makes me happy
LOVE HIS DANCE MOVES HE MAKES THEM LOOK COOL
this stuff is so unique. its so catchy, retro, and calming. impossible not to like this.
Still listening in 2024
My favorite memories and some of the best times of my life during this time when this albycame out and I still love it so much...has aged so well ❤️🩹

So in love till today!!

i don't remember ironic retroism.. ..why was it ironic?
Pizaz0 please, stop with the futile labels.
Trey Allen Post ironic retroism was a joke made by /mu/ to describe the sound of wanting to have a retro sound.
Pizaz0 this stuff was my jam since 8th grade fam. Played it while'st in Uganda, Africa to pass the time between activities. Now I'm in college and getting back into the ChazJazz
So many places in this video that have changed in Columbia. I miss it.
This song makes me want to be friends with chill people, make beautiful music and do awesome shit with.
same here it sucks barely having close friends like that
Same here 🙌😙
Friends are overrated.
Sounds like normal life, go do it lol. checkout my content. lensoftheheartny.tumblr.com/cinema
+ORISHA PHOTOS that's all we want is a "normal life".
Chaz and Kevin Parker has changed my life.
Valee Bolaños Truly !
Yes I really like them both, I like him as much as I do tame impala he’s just more prolific with his releases
There's something about film cinematography that just looks so much better than digital. Great vibes from this song
In no way is it better, because new digital footage can be made to look just like this through editing, but I wont deny that it has a cool style, especially when use in context along with this song. The closer digital footage is to real life, the more you can do with it after the fact. Real life has no DOF, and you can add it, but not get rid of it, etc... just as an example.
Greatest Toro y moi song period. I get such a positive, calm, feel during this song!!!
Toro has the OG "WHAT ARE THOSE!!!" conveniently placed in the first second of this video lmfao
That point starting at 1:44, right when he then says "...alone", man, I feel like I just crossed into another dimension of musical bliss! Definitely a favorite song of mine when I'm driving home from school late at night on an empty freeway.
This is how the future of music should sound
Bryan Souza yeah man. tell me about it. the music they play on the radio is so annoying.
like the 70s??

+Kate, M Beautiful comment, and I fully agree!!
This whole album is going to be memorable for decades, or at least as long as I'm alive.
This makes me want to never let my kids watch tv so they can become their own person
I love your comment. :)
***** yes you can. always say you can
One of the best shortest meaningful comments i've seen on youtube.
your kids will always become half of you/family and half of the environment they live in (school, neighborhood friends) .
The tv is there only to desensitize and confuse us.
Rudi Pereira ugghh you're making me come to some self realizations. I was once defined by those things and there wasn't much great to note about either. Even though ill always be defined somewhat by those things I realize now how much control I have over life and how much I can grow out of those old things with the right decisions.
I heard this song playing in H&M at the mall when I was like 14, and ever since I couldn't stop listening to toro y moi! He may be my favorite artist
The awesome thing besides Chaz's dancing is their smiles. Always smiling and having fun making their music. Toro y Moi, keep doing what you're doing.
His dancing makes my heart so happy.
loving this song! constant replay.
me three
Me four
No doubt. I think this is his/their best song. It never gets old.
me too :D
I heard of Toro Y Moi a while ago, but I never heard any of their music. Kinda wish I did back then. This is some great stuff.
Toro y Moi is just Chaz.. He writes and produces it all himself.. His buddies support him when he tours.. Check out his dance side project Les Sins..
on loop for hours in July 2021 - thanks Chaz for being a genius
its 2019 and I still listen to this almost everyday while doing my work. Love you, Chaz
Yasss! 💯💯

Really?
I've just discovered this group and inmediately they captured my attention... and I must say that I love their music, congratulations!!!!!!
Lost this track and sitting in an airport it came on....found it back!!
178 people don't know the greatest dance moves, or good music when they hear it.
I fully agree 🙋
Mike Scan
idk but i heard him from gta and he got like a pop beatles type realmusic sound
I first heard them from watching "The Wedge" here in Canada on Much Music. I'm going to listen to it again. This song is really good and speaks to me for some reason.
Check out "New Beat" and "Rose Quartz" by Toro Y Moi. Those songs are great too.
Yeah no one has heard the dance moves Toro y moi got
2020 and me still here

Yeah, not all music is made for mass consumption. Not trying to be a dick either. Look up his other work.
Amazing description
Wasn’t to appreciated then, as compared to today. Talamak was also a good one
Chaz é um cara muito talentoso. Percorre por ritmos e grooves, passa por eletrônica e R&B de um jeito único.
Superb!
2022 still sound 🎉🎉
If you like Toro y Moi you might like a band called the Doublejumps
Life was different when this dropped wtf ...and it's still ahead of its time !

It's hard where you're living
Adding weight to make it balanced
Saying it could be too much
But he's clasping to his tie
There was a finer life
When I was with my friends and I could always see my family
That's what I still want now
Even if I'm here and I know they won't be waiting
Cause I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be here alone
While you're there give back a little more
The return could make you notice
That I'm thinking of a moment
And know its still sound
There was a finer life when you were with us here
And we knew there was a next time
That's what I still want now
Even if I'm there and I think that you won't be waiting
Cause I don't want to be alone
It's hard where you're living
It's hard where you're living
It's hard where you're living
Cause I don't want to be alone
I don't want to be here alone
The greatest bass guitar solo I’ve heard so far, got such a great 70’s vibe to it
I work at a place called potbelly, I’ve known this song for years but they’ve finally put this song on the playlist!!
Also as a veteran of this era I’m glad to see people still feel the same way I felt about him
you can have fun in life doing the simple things
I agree 100% ^-^
So glad i clicked on this song, love its feel and dreamyness, superb!
It's such a great song
This makes me want to buy a super 8 camera so bad
is that what he recording on..? whats a super 8 ??
Yeah I think that's what the video is filmed on its an old school camera used in the 60s and 70s mostly for home footage gives an awesome sense of nostalgia

Saw him live last night in Brooklyn, absolutely amazing!
Amo!!
Cheers from Brazil!

I'm not a hipster, I'm only happy for supporting him since his early career.
looking forward for a show on Brazil!

His "Feel Good" dance moves always make me smile
I can't help but dance every time I hear this song. Awesome track
I'm upset it took me this long to discover Toro y Moi :/
Best Album from him just sayin
I'm mad that I just discovered this group!
If you like Toro y Moi you might like a band called the Doublejumps
Wow it's been almost 9 years since I first listen to this track!! Still Sounds!
This dude's rad! Can't believe I just found out about him.
He's the coolest guy on earth.
making retro sounding music, and retro themed in 2012, and getting famous and liked for it. Very hard.
I've been listening to music like this since high school and it's so hard to not be bitter to people just now coming around to it, after shitting on it for so long.
aint no way this song came out 11 years ago
"because i dont want to be allooooooone" goosebumps
WILL FOREVER SLAP WITH THE DANCE MOVES 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Looks like they had alotta fun making the vid👌🏾👌🏾
Miss this era lol
this guy is so cool,
Love the vibe of this one!!!
what an unreal old school groove, When I die I want them to play this as they carry my funky casket
4:08 *Chaz is casually offered Chinese food during a jam sesh* *Chaz: Nope!*
