    This video and song had me in tears. I have limited use of the left side of my body, limbs are pretty much useless. You can become so bitter, you struggle and ask yourself why. You can become so poisonous and toxic to yourself and those around you. The samurai shows me its possible to heal, for that I am grateful.
    Grateful for this wonderful work of art.

      "Even if one's head were to be suddenly cut off, he should be able to do one more action with certainty. With martial valor, if one becomes like a revengeful ghost and shows great determination, though his head is cut off, he should not die" thus is the way of the samurai.

      I will always carry my love for her and my memories of her, for they bring me comfort and are indelible.

    [Chorus: Thundercat]
    Let me show you, show you the way
    On the edge of dark there's the brightest light
    A burning light on the edge of dark
    Where no-one can tell they’re worlds apart
    We'll live with dark, just take the ride
    [Break: Thundercat]
    It's your boy, Thundercat
    [Verse 1: Thundercat]
    Heavy-hearted, but my burden's light
    I just wanna live, and learn how to fly
    When it's all over, breathe into the light
    Sink or swim, I'm not scared to die
    [Break: Thundercat]
    Tell 'em how you feel, Kenny
    Kenny Loggins
    [Verse 2: Kenny Loggins]
    Your heart is struggling, baby
    Trying to believe
    That there might be something you just couldn't see
    But what if I told you babe
    It’s all so easy
    [Chorus: Thundercat]
    Let me show you, show you the way
    On the edge of dark there's the brightest light
    A burning light, on the edge of dark
    Where no-one can tell they’re worlds apart
    We'll live with dark, just take the ride
    [Break: Thundercat]
    Ladies and gentlemen: Michael McDonald
    [Verse 3: Michael McDonald]
    Wake up and dream, tear down the wall
    Of all you believe that might not be true
    Long as love lies waiting there
    Just hold your face into the light
    Though right now you might not know why
    Long as love lies waiting
    They ain’t know our way, baby
    [Chorus: Thundercat]
    Let me show you, show you the way
    On the edge of dark there's the brightest light
    A burning one, on the edge of dark
    Where no-one can tell they’re worlds apart
    We'll live with dark, just take the ride

    3:30 - You can hear the extra life / continue chime from the Genesis Sonic The Hedgehog games. It's the sound you hear when you earn a continue on the game to keep playing after you've lost your lives, and both fits in metaphorically with the song and video's themes about "continuing" and not giving up during hard times.
    Pretty crafty, genius-level shit right there.

      So many rock stars of that era got old and bitter, and spend their time suing bandmates over royalties, but this guy just keeps on moving making awesome music. I was so lucky to see him live with Steely Dan circa 2006.

    A few months ago, when I was at home starting the day, I passed out. It was a horrible situation, I hit my face and ended up in a hospital. It was a stress spike. I spent the night there and in a conversation during a checkup, a doctor asked me what music I liked to listen to. They had let me keep my cell phone. I told him that I really liked Thundercat. He didn't know him. (he did know the TV series). I put this song and we listened to it. Today I am very well, fully recovered, and that episode is just a memory. This song reminds me to value what is really important in life. And that it is important to take care of yourself and give yourself the necessary time whenever you can. Greetings from Argentina friends.

    I love this collaboration Thundercat has with the legends Michael McDonald & Kenny Loggins. They both got heavy rotation on the R&B radio stations back in the days. So in other words alot of black folks (like myself) LOVE their music and are so thankful a new generation artist has come along and captured that sound and brought it back to life.

He's so unbelievably moving, and special. Not to mention look at this comment section. It's also very moving. Like literally so many of us were brought to tears. Or used this song as a way to get through very painful situations. This song is the embodiment of the feeling of going through the worst scenarios in life and coming out the other side with your sanity. A sense of peace, love & gratitude. Man, protect Thundercat at all cost.

    It’s the way you come out of your personalised hell and the look you give to the loved one in front of you. In that moment something comedic clicks. The demons become the robbers that you can see in the cctv. You know at that moment that you’re in a situation. It’s important to look up, it’s valuable to realise that you’re a character in this, it’s vital to know that it’s your fight and then you have to show yourself the way. Who knows maybe the next time you look up you were still in that same hell, but at least you have an experience now.

    At 2:45 my brain starts singing "I keep forgetting" by Mr. McDonald every time. I love this song.

      It's 3am, and I was feeling burnt out.. this just motivated me to push a little harder and keep studying to pass this PMP test. Thank you.

    This song is on F-I-R-E! It's a lovely nod back to the wonderful yacht rock of the late 70s and early 80s. I can't love this track enough!
