It's crazy how ahead of his time Nujabes was. Already had the lofi hiphop game locked down in the 2000s. The jazz, hiphop and chill influences are just too great. Ever since I heard his music in Samurai Champloo, I have loved Nujabes' work. Thank you sir, your work will go on to influence future generations.
both him and Dilla died before "lo-fi hip hop" or whatever it's referred to as became part of mainstream culture. heads knew, back in the day, but damn... life is fucking short, man. shoot your shot.
@TheStormfall I think science could have farsight if our culture wasn't so petty and focused on only what they can see in front of them. We're too conflicted to go there... too many self-interested parties sacrificing the many for their selfish gains.
I used to listen to Nujabes walking down the street when I was homeless so many of his tracks are relative to the journey I have travel all these years
Part 1: great start Part 2: Sooo relaxing Part 3: genius! Part 4: Is.. Literally my favourite song ever made. It never gets old, it's honestly a flawless song. Part 5: it's alright, my least favourite. Not to say that it's bad. Part 6: a great way to finish!
And revelation is itself a genesis, like an evolution in perpetual restarting, a reflection eternal. Like a tree, starting from the roots, to the trunk, through the branches, to the fruit which, themselves, may produce another tree. A cyclical advance, from nothingness to infinity, from one to all, to unity....
finally, i arrived at a moment in my life that, i can say, i can relate to this song, and foremost, sharing it with someone i love, crazy times that we live in.
All lyrics for whole album, continues in replies: 1. Luv(sic) Part 1 00:00 I told you that story to tell you this one Check this out, this goes out to my G [Verse 1: Shing02] Lovesick like a dog with canine sensitivity Developing this new theory of relativity Connecting our souls resting in captivity Positive life sacrifice what it is to me Our history, only a quarter of a century Reality, sitting on the shoulders of our chemistry See ain't no mystery, the colors that we mix will set the mind free Let the blind see beyond harmony! Breathe life into dead space blow away your clouds of doubt New territory we determine to be Everything a safe haven it's supposed to be Now it might seem distant but the time is near When our thoughts take off and split the atmosphere Pure sound wave travel semi-infinitely Plus I'll see you there utmost definitely [Hook: Shing02 (Richard Pryor)] Cause the beat plus the melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently (I mean that from my heart cause you make me feel good as a person) Cause the beat plus the melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently [Verse 2: Shing02] Good gracious, every process has a genesis and ends with a revelation God bless this opportunity for me to find a voice For some words that have waited for way too long Low wages, small tips on the avenue Never wasted, all hits for a revenue Haven't you heard the news lately? Seems we've been living for some time in a purgatory But yo, I thought I knew what a love song sound like But I felt a warmer tune in the sunlight I could still hear it in my room past midnight Gotta move, take a solo cruise in the moon light Sometimes I do forget, oh how much we could ease the lives we lead If we learn to let go, the reins that we hold Return to our souls, and the spirit let flow So you see, upon everyday faced there's a million shades to Express definition of grace But the method I choose my prerogative There's so much love in me I got to give [Hook] 'Cause the beat plus the melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently (I mean that from my heart 'cause you make me feel good as a person) 'Cause the beat plus the melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently (I hope that you listen) [Verse 3: Shing02] Oh how I could write a book on how you make me feel But how about this song that I wrote for you? What I feel like, I wanna put my trusts in these simple words For you to feel what I'm saying, what you feel like? Reminisce about the little episodes that we shared together Remember the time that you told me In the cold night, to relax when all I knew was to hold tight Remember the time that I spoke to the crowd in a full house and Realizes that you was my ace? I was the joker on the stage singing the blues All eyes on me and had nothing to prove But yo, I thought I knew what a diamond shine like But I felt a sharper love in the limelight From the queen of hearts watching me quietly from the upper deck balcony Sometimes I do suspect, I'm an actor in a well-scripted live divine comedy When I look back, that frozen slice of time and try to defrost the senses lost Now enough with the metaphors, the motivation that I wrote this letter for For you to know that the music helps carry on Like you say a new day will bring us tomorrow... [Hook: Shing02 (Richard Pryor)] 'Cause my beat plus your melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently 'Cause your beat plus my melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently 'Cause my beat plus your melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently (I mean that from my heart 'cause you make me feel good as a person) 'Cause your beat plus my melody Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently (I mean that from my heart 'cause you make me feel good as a person) (You know what I mean? Makes me say ‘Well, that shit wasn’t THAT bad)
2. Luv(sic) Part 2 04:44 [Intro] Relax Here we go, part two, check me out [Verse 1: Shing02] Once again, now where do I start, dear love Dumb struck with the pure luck to find you here Every morn' I awake from a cavernous night Sometimes still pondering the previous plight Seems life done changed long time no speak Nowadays I often forget the day of the week Taking it by stride if you know what I mean No harm done, no offense taken by me So let's rap, we'll catch up to par, what's the haps? Perhaps we're even closer Now after, all things considered on this side of the planet Couldn't pick a better time even if we planned it To come clean and candid if I have to Oh what I wouldn't trade for your laughter Sweet and sour spice in my poetry pot melting Even better than the real thing It's like the God in me saw the devil in you I wanted to break myself in the worst way when I met you Who would have thought, conversate by the river, celebrate birth Sit and delivered the lines that would prove to be the seeds of trust Unsigned, yeah but destined to grow with sunshine Self-assigned task piled on the desk of good works Knowing hardship appreciate the best of both worlds [Hook 1: Shing02] C'est la vie, as they say L-O-V-E evidently, see every song has a sequel Never same, everything but the name, all fresh just like back then, how we do everyday C'est la vie, as they say L-O-V-E eloquently, see every dream has a part two Never same, you got to keep it tight, always just like back then, now hear me out [Verse 2: Shing02] Once together, now where do we go, dear divine I pray that you keep watching over us From the heavens where light is the nucleus To this space filled with darkness and negative matter Anti-gravity pull is what I would rather, feel when I leave this shell eventually Ties to the mother earth ground me mentally Real vibes will keep me alive spiritually Imagination brings bliss at no cost, when I blink blink I receive at no loss Victory comes in small packages like a leaf of an olive tree brought back by a dove From above, then I'm gonna rhyme love Well you saw that one coming ever since the beginning of the end Well anyways, I am not a perfect being, yes I am, a man full of S-I-N It's like the devil in me saw the God in you You epitomize the etymology of enthusiasm Look it up, there lies the clouds that form the rain That came from the ocean that flowed from the river I'm a believer, firm with the first words, lyrical transceiver of our ancient roots Science plus arts multiplied by faith then divided by the number of our ethnic race Let me mention what I've been thinking How to save the children, when the ship is sinking So I'm singing, no lip syncing to slogans Political hooligans with tanks, missiles and guns Everything is relative when it's all in the family of man Understand the time has finally come to realize the great power of one All formulas equalize under the sun, amen [Hook 2: Shing 02] The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music In times of need I won't be leaving you sick The beat plus the melody's the recipe Your vibe surely brings out the best in me The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music In times of need I won't be leaving you sick The beat plus the melody's the recipe All good souls lost may they rest in peace [Hook 2: Shing 02] The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music In times of need I won't be leaving you sick The beat plus the melody's the recipe Your vibe surely brings out the best in me The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music In times of need I won't be leaving you sick The beat plus the melody's the recipe Hip-hop world wide we got to live in peace, like that
3. Luv(sic) Part 3 09:16 [Intro] And now we have a wonderful surprise for you [Chorus: Shing02] It's funny how the music put times in perspective Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far Wherever you are It's funny how the music put times in perspective Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far Wherever you are [Verse 1: Shing02] Like a movie that you can't predict Like a book that you can't resist I sing along a song that's oh so sensual Bring along a sip to make it all so sexual Verbally that is, making love to the music means vibing to the beat at night With the whole city fast asleep, out cold True words seem to rise to the lips, take hold Of a poet in me, most powerfully I feel free when the world doesn't owe it to me It's so hard to find a gig that lives up to the billing Trying to find a reason to work, god willing I admit, my thinking is wishful Like a star upon a child gazing up to the ceiling How far do we have to stretch the truth To fit the lifestyles borrowed and overdue? We can take it all back to the register And start all over from the canister Let's break it all down into pieces of bright Moments that pass by like a meteorite Throw on your favorite reel that's good to go On the analog player watch the people glow Sit back to the breeze let the memories flow Comedy tragedy all the highs and lows [Chorus: Shing02] It's funny how the music put times in perspective Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far Wherever you are It's funny how the music put times in perspective Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far Wherever you are [Verse 2: Shing02] Like your moves that I can't predict Like your look that I can't resist The ting-a-ling feeling was oh so mutual The lingering appeal was so unusual Herbally what is, medicine to a lone soul can become poison to some With the whole body fast asleep, out cold True vision seem to come to the eye, take hold Of a prophet in me most visibly I see clear when the world doesn't show it to me It's so hard to make sense in a cycle of billing Trying to find a reason to quit and make a killing I admit, our dealing is painful Like a star upon a child staring down from the ceiling How far do we have to stretch the picture Before pixelating the human texture? We can take it all back to the register And start all over from the canister Let's save it all up for an ultimate prize Homecoming gathering with a big surprise Throw on your favorite record that's good to go On the analog table and it's hooked to blow Sit back with ease and hear the emcee flow Hi hat kick drum all the highs and lows [Chorus: Shing02] It's funny how the music put times in perspective Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far Wherever you are It's funny how the music put times in perspective Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far Wherever you are [Verse 3: Shing02] Um, third time's the charm, hopefully When I chime on your door you'd still let me in After all these years The room that you caved in my heart is exactly the same as you left it I realize that you have moved on New styles and cliques like them silent flicks I'm speechless in this golden occasion The beautiful expression on the silver creation This time I'd like to keep in touch I'm a little bit wiser, a whole lot tougher If I suffer through another nightmare tonight We'll chalk it up as another chapter to write, all right? Or wrong or somewhere down the middle of the road I wanna see you again in a scene with the backdrop a perfect ten And the music can take us back to the spot right then From black and white to a sepia tone Some dreams come with a tint or in monochrome From black and white to my skin tone Some dreams have a stint on the microphone [Chorus: Shing02] It's funny how the music put times in perspective Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far Wherever you are It's funny how the music put times in perspective Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far Wherever you are [Verse 4: Shing02] Okay we can take it all back to the register And start all over from the canister Let's break it all down into pieces of bright Moments that pass by like a meteorite Throw on your favorite jacket and you're good to roll On the analog trail and you look the role Just stroll through the trees and let your miseries go Sunshine hurricane all the highs and lows [Outro] We can take it all back to the register And start all over from the canister Let's break it all down into pieces of bright Moments that pass by like a meteorite

Luv(sic) Part 4 15:25 [Hook] Snow flakes in January Heart warm like February I wouldn't ordinarily March to the drum, play a fool like April May the best dance in a Juno bridal Power of the will, Julius and Augustus Aw you know, it's just us In a new semester, back in September Boy, I wonder if you still remember [Verse 1: shing02] Meet me half way from mars to venus Beep beep, the chase is on between us Retweet the sweetest piece of confection Hand made device for remote connection Ask a question Wait for an answer and make a suggestion A time and a place for a first impression Second and third to a fourth dimension Rise above the weights that hold us captive To a square, swear that I, I the captain to Cruise in sci-fi, red sky burn like sapphire A moth to a fire, but we can fly higher Till we reach an apex We fit tight like a glove with the latex Bring it down to earth for a cooling session Laying sideways and glazed in essence Gazed each other in the eye to find galaxies of Uncharted nebulas Heard joy over spilled milk on a quilt, of lavender Woven in the fabric of our calendar Dress up at the end of October Give thanks to the fam in November A cold but cozy December And we're back to the origin, so let me begin [Hook] Snow flakes in January Heart warm like February I wouldn't ordinarily March to the drum, play a fool like April May the best dance in a Juno bridal Power of the will, Julius and Augustus Aw you know, it's just us In a new semester, back in September Boy, I wonder if you still remember [Verse 2: shing02] When you took my hand, I couldn't hide it Way too delighted Tried to ride it cool but obliged to write it Wouldn't fight it, how my watch paused When I put my lips on your eyelids The lost second, deposit in a memory bank Every chance I pocketed a cent A blank check with ya signature Font sans serif, the curvature, a lone harbinger With toys play coy like fish in a pond Fond words serve poems like dish Life is short like a doggone leash Or a fuse in an open circuitry That got struck by lightning Hang a painting on the wall over the writing Brighten up the room for a private dining Increase the peace and cease the anxiety Spread love and cc: the whole society You got me shooting off on a tangent Like I always do when I'm on the fringe And the tally of the letters will reach The valley where the wings will seek A series so classic at the top of October Give thanks to the fam in November A cold but cozy December And we're back to the origin, so let me begin [Hook] Snow flakes in January Heart warm like February I wouldn't ordinarily March to the drum, play a fool like April May the best dance in a Juno bridal Power of the will, Julius and Augustus Aw you know, it's just us In a new semester, back in September Boy, I wonder if you still remember
5. Luv(sic) Part 5 20:33 Till death do us apart, and it did Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead On our lives we nourished And the days we cherished as kids We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines In your last breath you told me, that you had to go Cause it pained you so Oh I loved you so much so Was I selfish to hold on And cling on to your body that hosts a soul That wanted to set free the eagle in a cage And you became eagerly what I wanted to be You the person to leave, I the person To see off another best friend to land's end I watched grown men moan, and women weep As you quietly descended six feet deep But the spirit ascended before our wet eyes A gift from god, returned to sender Though I like to pretend that this never happened I can turn around and see you laughing But the fact is you could never practice Getting blind-sided and eating the wind shield Endless field of shards of glass This too shall pass, but reality bites, it says not so fast First you must climb a calvary of shattered hopes And then a mountain of prayers unheard 'till you reach that peak where you can see the dark abyss below Then you let me know if you have what it takes for a leap of faith I had to say, hell no, heaven yes, but not yet Please bless a forehead, cold in a bed Or alone on the road with nobody to hold When the pouring rain is too much to bear It's a reason to live for a seed that needs care Till death do us apart and it did Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead On our lives we nourished And the days we cherished as kids We let it whizz on by, but when I rewind Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines Now I hit this stage in honor of you How's the other side, I bet it's a splendid view No more stress for rent, or to make ends Collide in a cocktail, shame with envy I can hide behind lens that block the UV Looking in from the outside the bowl is murky The toll for the bridge is rising Weatherman says storm, city hall is burning Same ol' chaos, gotta shut my cell like I'm waiting to take off On the runway, scoping out the window The moisture covers the sight though Telling myself it's just another day in the life of a starving artist Trying to paint a dream you woke from Chasing the departed We used to hang by the banks to see who can skip a stone the farthest What I thought was a stream is now an ocean No such thing as an extreme to show devotion To your craft, which I didn't know the half Tried to knock down your door and caught the backdraft And a whiplash, all in reverse Then I finally stood up and said, we reserve the right to serve anyone And on the same note you deserve the best of the most fun By the way I got your letter, you said you were fed up Well I second that and I reckon that you tried So I don't place a blame that you took the fifth And the first flight out of town, into the mist Till death do us apart and it did Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead On our lives we nourished And the days we cherished as kids We let 'em whizz on by, but when I rewind Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries Or a random hand picks it instantly Life is art, a miracle for all to see I must tell you that you lived beautifully
6. Luv(sic) Grand Finale 26:20 I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world Now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl Her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup Whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth But the stones turned precious when they all came out On a string of deep thought that could never be bought Body rock don’t stop, be bop to hip hop Cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor What was left a shoestring budget on call Then these new styles came along Some on to the next on some other hit, their own trip Colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds, dated Make you feel old and jaded The point was to make it and we made it but We didn’t know how to keep it Like nice kicks. that wouldn’t fit Only way was to box it up and duct tape it up Store it underneath the bed and open it up Once in a blue moon Think about a cool ending To a story that ended too soon Gotta bring back the feeling I’ll do anything not to be stuck on fiending A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient To an open heart, it’s a daily operation After six come seven and eight Access code to the pearly gates They say heaven can wait And you speak of fate A finale to a play for my mate I see the angels draw the drapes Over the earthscape Where the wine is the spirit of grapes Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape As our records will stay on rotate You say a circle is a flawless shape Every part equi-distance from the center On the arc without a start or a finish A line on a loop carries weight A freight train runs unabated Views vanish from my point vantage Passages come in and out The way I recall your antics (how I remember your antics) Still alive ’cause I said it A life of its own unless we dead it Till they see our name in credits A labor of love you mean slavery Surely, it’s been quite savory Crepe on the balcony, verbal alchemy Pure magic when she touches me I read that love is kind but it’s also blind of any style You profess, would you be my guest (you could be my guest) Happiness is a hot potato that you can’t possess for long Just pass it on like asong And I might look calm and collected at a glance But I taste the void when I’m not connected To the world kinetic, as opposed to static Idle hands a workshop of a digital addict (a modern-day addict) On a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed The mind in need of stimulation Elevator music to the space station Penthouse of stars a-blazing After six come seven and eight Access code to the pearly gates They say heaven can wait And you speak of fate A finale to a play for my mate I see the angels draw the drapes Over the earthscape Where the wine is the spirit of grapes Gotta finish what we started, so I cut this tape As our records will stay on rotate

this japanese text translates to: For the first time in a long time, I feel like I've discovered a new entrance to sound. Crossover, Fusion, Asit - this sound is definitely the entrance to HIPHOP as it has become the bible of each genre of music by 64 years old
@@set7618 its rap to the bones. straight boom bap rythm over aesthetic piano and strings, paired with great flows and rhyme schemes, this is hip hop/rap to the core it embodies the rawness of sampling music and being a dj/producer.
I found Nujabes then Shing02 after watching Samurai Champloo and ever since he has become an inspiration and part of my deisgn process and when I listen and work on my projects/assignments, and now that I am doing my fashion design degree, it's like the beats, the lyrics, the overal atmosphere allows my hands to swiftly move on its own and create work I did not expect nor a new ideation. Much love
Necesitaba escribir una retrospectiva desde el fondo de mi corazon. No puede crer que pedazo de soundtrack me fue a acompañar. Descanza en paz viejo. Hiciste lo que tenias que hacer y te amamos por eso
I throwback to listening to the Samurai Champloo soundtrack while doing HW. Shit, senior year fuckin sucked with Covid but Nujabes was a highlight of those nights at the kitchen table working on a iPad. Rest up bro. You're stuff is loved by millions.
Part 2 always hits me with the feels, always reminds me to take life a little slower and appreciate having fam and friends nearby and to spend more time with them. I know 2020 and 2021 have been pretty depressing years but don't let the negatives seep through the seems y'all. Hope y'all have a great new years and keep fam and friends close! Life too short to let the negativity take over.
This is the first time I discover this guy's music while I just let my youtube play anything. Turns out, my dad knew about this music artist and has a few of his songs! Great rapper, reminds me of home! Thank you, RUclips and Shing02 for existing.
its funny i've heard them all one day, but sticked to pt1, then after a period of time, i heard pt 2 again, and LOVED it so much more than before, same with 3 and 4 in different periods... if you hear them at different times of your life, it strikes different, each one, and just proves how great these songs are. i love them all Nujabes not only started a music style, he still is in my opinion the best in it
Thinking of you, I will just live believing in fate and destiny. If they do not lead you to me, then I will just continue keeping you in my heart as a proof that all this wasn't just a dream.
@Victor Zamora I tried to post an answer 4 times, hope this reaches you finally now ! The Unstoppable Power of Letting Go | Jill Sherer Murray | TEDxWilmingtonWomen, and How to fix a broken heart | Guy Winch (both on RUclips) helped me so much from the very beginning. Meditation 10min everyday, you have free guided meditation on Insight Timer app.
@Victor Zamora + Yoga and / or fitness to get self-esteem, let go of negativity, get strong and resilient. No activities reminding me of my ex, stopping all sad songs, listening to uplifting songs like Tuxedo to help shift my mood. I hope this can help you, take good care of you, forgive yourself, forgive the other, now you know what you can and cannot accept in your life, it is a big lesson
Antes de morir, necesito escuchar esto caminando tranquilamente por la calles de Tokio. Debe ser un espectáculo increíble 🤍 Before I die, I need to hear this walking quietly through the streets of Tokyo. It must be an incredible show 🤍
Literally the only songs I have never ever gotten tired of listening since 2006 when my friend in high school introduced me. If 'most-listened' existed since those eyars, at least one or two luv sic song would show in the top 5 every year consecutively, alongside other genres.
I remember when I was 16 and I started getting into Shing02, this was the 2nd song I ever heard by him...knew the lyrics within a week...RIP NUJABES JUN SEBA!
when i first heard part 5 i thought it was the weakest song of the bunch. i liked it but it really didn't feel on the level of the rest. then I found out that he was referring to the death of nujabes and oooof, the song hits me harder then anything now.
Эта музыка переполненна любовью. Слушая этот альбом я плакал, не из-за того что грустно, а из-за того, что счаслив это слушать и чувствовать. Nujabes, спасибо.
@@сергейсипин-и8р я о нём узнал случайно, через обзор jazz hip-hop(а). Ну и теперь сам учусь писать музыку в этом жанре. Знаю, что жанр не популярный, но с такой музыкой можно достичь сердец хороших людей.
This album has helped me lift my spirits up in my recent gloomy days. The girl that I love so much who I would protect her smile and laughter, has a boyfriend already and it feels like I hit a dead end. Nujabes has been soothing my soul. Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind Your smile is the only thing that shines Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries Or a random hand picks it instantly Life is art, a miracle for all to see I must tell you that you lived beautifully”. Thank you Nujabes and Shing. 5:46pm Jan 9 24 Tuesday
Man every time I am going through some shit in life, either I come back to this or it comes back to me, and it really gets me through. It's funny how music puts times in perspective...
Anyone else not know who Nujabes was till recent and also feeling sad hes gone? ❤ Samurai Champloo has a special place in my heart. Didnt even realise I was a huge fan of you. Rest in peace and thank you for the music ❤❤❤
Quelles perles ces sons, ça fait presque 10 ans que j'écoute du nujabes à balle et je ne m'en lasse pas... Only good vibes, peace love and stay strong brothers
Thank you very much, the upload has no cuts in any frequency, true 320 kbps, i confirmed this with Izotope RX7 and Spek (very useful softwares) . I´ve been spending 5 hours searching many pages but everything is gone. I even did silly trivias and silly things in many fu**ing pages for nothing. This one was my last resource and i found it was 320, all i have to do is cut every song in a DAW. I can listen to this album without problems because I pay youtube premium but nothing comes better than having your own 320 mp3 files, hopefully one day i make my music library to WAV but this is all i can do for now, can´t afford many things yet. Again Thank you for the quality and time for uploading. You know how grateful is someone when you help them get/listen for music they cant find in a certain way.
this playlist came on as i realized that some people in my life were bringing me stress and anxiety. after realizing this i was able to let them go, and i feel so much lighter :) im finally happy again
Jun - Seba (Nujabes) was an awesome man, the beat of part 3 reminded me of him. Love it or not he's in lofi hip-hop heaven, I just wish Nujabes continued on without him but some songs are still based on him. The person who crashed into him probably should've looked who he was gonna crash to. Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it, that's what this man kinda did. Cya later my dude. Goes out to Nujabes and the person who reads this. I hope you have a great life and. Good luck!
this was a such a sentimental album and even more sentimental for me, I was listening to this so much when I first moved to LA and things changed so much. People that were such a big part of my life at that point I don't even know what happened to them now.
I can't even express how happy this made me! I knew Nujabes was good. I heard some of his songs but never heard these. Now he's my favorite artist. Really thank you!

As Shing02 said, part 7 is in heaven with the man himself.
dang i'll only be able to listen to lit when i die ;-;
@@mayabartolabac *when you pass unto the next life 😌
Happiness spiritual beat love this .
Looking forward to that when the time comes..
which is part 7?
I love rappers like Shing02 that complement and don't overpower beats
yes omg
I love tuhttles.
Dude, I don't think I've ever thought of that and it's blown my mind. It's completely spot on. Especially when paired with an artist like Nujabes.
Yes@@vibedaily777
marbles in my mouth
It's crazy how ahead of his time Nujabes was. Already had the lofi hiphop game locked down in the 2000s. The jazz, hiphop and chill influences are just too great. Ever since I heard his music in Samurai Champloo, I have loved Nujabes' work. Thank you sir, your work will go on to influence future generations.
I also wonder if he hasn't created that
god takes good ones way too soon, always. we all get to meet again, im sure of it.
both him and Dilla died before "lo-fi hip hop" or whatever it's referred to as became part of mainstream culture. heads knew, back in the day, but damn... life is fucking short, man. shoot your shot.
@Stephen O'Connell Replace DOOM with Pete Rock
@TheStormfall I think science could have farsight if our culture wasn't so petty and focused on only what they can see in front of them. We're too conflicted to go there... too many self-interested parties sacrificing the many for their selfish gains.
Part 2, makes me cry so hard when Shing says "All good souls may rest in peace". Rest in beats, Nujabes, thank you for everything.
And then he makes the Part 2 Acoustica Remix and the beat and lyrics hit even harder 😔🙏
This music helps me stay grounded a lot when dealing with depression and loneliness
It stirs my depression and loneliness, but in a healing sort of way. It's hard to listen to yet medicine at the same time.

Much love from Canada to Japan. Rap has no boundaries.
カナダから日本への多くの愛。ラップには境界がありません
Yep👍 Rap has no boundaries.
Thanks Canada. Love from Japan!!!
I pretty much agree but your view differs somewhat from mine. I think "Music" has no boundaries.
ok weeb
@@gorizumi there are language barriers
@@ice-xk2uv nah, language barriers means nothing in music, the only one with barriers here are you, hijacking a comment with your shitty attitude
My favourite part is when there's someone rapping on nujabes' sick beats
yes
Damn rigth
I prefer instrumental but yeah i got you.
If no one is rapping over his beats you get to rap over his beats yourself though.
my favorite part 0:00 - 2:11:18
I used to listen to Nujabes walking down the street when I was homeless so many of his tracks are relative to the journey I have travel all these years
godspeed bro
❤ much love
Part 1: great start
Part 2: Sooo relaxing
Part 3: genius!
Part 4: Is.. Literally my favourite song ever made. It never gets old, it's honestly a flawless song.
Part 5: it's alright, my least favourite. Not to say that it's bad.
Part 6: a great way to finish!
yoooooo I feel the same way!!! I am always switching 3 & 4 up! But I think that Id have to agree with you!
Lol i love 5
Part 5 Hits hard on the feels my man
@@Kyo_ufu I do think part 5 is a good song, just not as strong as the rest of the series.
@@KhariShootYourShot92 I just noticed you have the same name as my brother, what are the odds!?
Dude, its been 4 hours, i've been playing bass along this for four hours and i cant be more grateful. RIP Nujabes, you'll always be remembered :)
every process has a genesis and ends with a revelation
And revelation is itself a genesis, like an evolution in perpetual restarting, a reflection eternal. Like a tree, starting from the roots, to the trunk, through the branches, to the fruit which, themselves, may produce another tree. A cyclical advance, from nothingness to infinity, from one to all, to unity....
god bless this

1. Luv(sic) Part 1 00:00
I told you that story to tell you this one
Check this out, this goes out to my G
[Verse 1: Shing02]
Lovesick like a dog with canine sensitivity
Developing this new theory of relativity
Connecting our souls resting in captivity
Positive life sacrifice what it is to me
Our history, only a quarter of a century
Reality, sitting on the shoulders of our chemistry
See ain't no mystery, the colors that we mix will set the mind free
Let the blind see beyond harmony!
Breathe life into dead space blow away your clouds of doubt
New territory we determine to be
Everything a safe haven it's supposed to be
Now it might seem distant but the time is near
When our thoughts take off and split the atmosphere
Pure sound wave travel semi-infinitely
Plus I'll see you there utmost definitely
[Hook: Shing02 (Richard Pryor)]
Cause the beat plus the melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
(I mean that from my heart cause you make me feel good as a person)
Cause the beat plus the melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
[Verse 2: Shing02]
Good gracious, every process has a genesis and ends with a revelation
God bless this opportunity for me to find a voice
For some words that have waited for way too long
Low wages, small tips on the avenue
Never wasted, all hits for a revenue
Haven't you heard the news lately?
Seems we've been living for some time in a purgatory
But yo, I thought I knew what a love song sound like
But I felt a warmer tune in the sunlight
I could still hear it in my room past midnight
Gotta move, take a solo cruise in the moon light
Sometimes I do forget, oh how much we could ease the lives we lead
If we learn to let go, the reins that we hold
Return to our souls, and the spirit let flow
So you see, upon everyday faced there's a million shades to
Express definition of grace
But the method I choose my prerogative
There's so much love in me I got to give
[Hook]
'Cause the beat plus the melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
(I mean that from my heart 'cause you make me feel good as a person)
'Cause the beat plus the melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
(I hope that you listen)
[Verse 3: Shing02]
Oh how I could write a book on how you make me feel
But how about this song that I wrote for you?
What I feel like, I wanna put my trusts in these simple words
For you to feel what I'm saying, what you feel like?
Reminisce about the little episodes that we shared together
Remember the time that you told me
In the cold night, to relax when all I knew was to hold tight
Remember the time that I spoke to the crowd in a full house and
Realizes that you was my ace?
I was the joker on the stage singing the blues
All eyes on me and had nothing to prove
But yo, I thought I knew what a diamond shine like
But I felt a sharper love in the limelight
From the queen of hearts watching me quietly from the upper deck balcony
Sometimes I do suspect, I'm an actor in a well-scripted live divine comedy
When I look back, that frozen slice of time and try to defrost the senses lost
Now enough with the metaphors, the motivation that I wrote this letter for
For you to know that the music helps carry on
Like you say a new day will bring us tomorrow...
[Hook: Shing02 (Richard Pryor)]
'Cause my beat plus your melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
'Cause your beat plus my melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
'Cause my beat plus your melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
(I mean that from my heart 'cause you make me feel good as a person)
'Cause your beat plus my melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
(I mean that from my heart 'cause you make me feel good as a person)
(You know what I mean? Makes me say ‘Well, that shit wasn’t THAT bad)
2. Luv(sic) Part 2 04:44
[Intro]
Relax
Here we go, part two, check me out
[Verse 1: Shing02]
Once again, now where do I start, dear love
Dumb struck with the pure luck to find you here
Every morn' I awake from a cavernous night
Sometimes still pondering the previous plight
Seems life done changed long time no speak
Nowadays I often forget the day of the week
Taking it by stride if you know what I mean
No harm done, no offense taken by me
So let's rap, we'll catch up to par, what's the haps? Perhaps we're even closer
Now after, all things considered on this side of the planet
Couldn't pick a better time even if we planned it
To come clean and candid if I have to
Oh what I wouldn't trade for your laughter
Sweet and sour spice in my poetry pot melting
Even better than the real thing
It's like the God in me saw the devil in you
I wanted to break myself in the worst way when I met you
Who would have thought, conversate by the river, celebrate birth
Sit and delivered the lines that would prove to be the seeds of trust
Unsigned, yeah but destined to grow with sunshine
Self-assigned task piled on the desk of good works
Knowing hardship appreciate the best of both worlds
[Hook 1: Shing02]
C'est la vie, as they say L-O-V-E evidently, see every song has a sequel
Never same, everything but the name, all fresh just like back then, how we do everyday
C'est la vie, as they say L-O-V-E eloquently, see every dream has a part two
Never same, you got to keep it tight, always just like back then, now hear me out
[Verse 2: Shing02]
Once together, now where do we go, dear divine
I pray that you keep watching over us
From the heavens where light is the nucleus
To this space filled with darkness and negative matter
Anti-gravity pull is what I would rather, feel when I leave this shell eventually
Ties to the mother earth ground me mentally
Real vibes will keep me alive spiritually
Imagination brings bliss at no cost, when I blink blink I receive at no loss
Victory comes in small packages like a leaf of an olive tree brought back by a dove
From above, then I'm gonna rhyme love
Well you saw that one coming ever since the beginning of the end
Well anyways, I am not a perfect being, yes I am, a man full of S-I-N
It's like the devil in me saw the God in you
You epitomize the etymology of enthusiasm
Look it up, there lies the clouds that form the rain
That came from the ocean that flowed from the river
I'm a believer, firm with the first words, lyrical transceiver of our ancient roots
Science plus arts multiplied by faith then divided by the number of our ethnic race
Let me mention what I've been thinking
How to save the children, when the ship is sinking
So I'm singing, no lip syncing to slogans
Political hooligans with tanks, missiles and guns
Everything is relative when it's all in the family of man
Understand the time has finally come to realize the great power of one
All formulas equalize under the sun, amen
[Hook 2: Shing 02]
The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music
In times of need I won't be leaving you sick
The beat plus the melody's the recipe
Your vibe surely brings out the best in me
The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music
In times of need I won't be leaving you sick
The beat plus the melody's the recipe
All good souls lost may they rest in peace
[Hook 2: Shing 02]
The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music
In times of need I won't be leaving you sick
The beat plus the melody's the recipe
Your vibe surely brings out the best in me
The rhymes will heal cause I believe in music
In times of need I won't be leaving you sick
The beat plus the melody's the recipe
Hip-hop world wide we got to live in peace, like that
3. Luv(sic) Part 3 09:16
[Intro]
And now we have a wonderful surprise for you
[Chorus: Shing02]
It's funny how the music put times in perspective
Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it
Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far
Wherever you are
It's funny how the music put times in perspective
Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it
Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far
Wherever you are
[Verse 1: Shing02]
Like a movie that you can't predict
Like a book that you can't resist
I sing along a song that's oh so sensual
Bring along a sip to make it all so sexual
Verbally that is, making love to the music means vibing to the beat at night
With the whole city fast asleep, out cold
True words seem to rise to the lips, take hold
Of a poet in me, most powerfully
I feel free when the world doesn't owe it to me
It's so hard to find a gig that lives up to the billing
Trying to find a reason to work, god willing
I admit, my thinking is wishful
Like a star upon a child gazing up to the ceiling
How far do we have to stretch the truth
To fit the lifestyles borrowed and overdue?
We can take it all back to the register
And start all over from the canister
Let's break it all down into pieces of bright
Moments that pass by like a meteorite
Throw on your favorite reel that's good to go
On the analog player watch the people glow
Sit back to the breeze let the memories flow
Comedy tragedy all the highs and lows
[Chorus: Shing02]
It's funny how the music put times in perspective
Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it
Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far
Wherever you are
It's funny how the music put times in perspective
Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it
Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far
Wherever you are
[Verse 2: Shing02]
Like your moves that I can't predict
Like your look that I can't resist
The ting-a-ling feeling was oh so mutual
The lingering appeal was so unusual
Herbally what is, medicine to a lone soul can become poison to some
With the whole body fast asleep, out cold
True vision seem to come to the eye, take hold
Of a prophet in me most visibly
I see clear when the world doesn't show it to me
It's so hard to make sense in a cycle of billing
Trying to find a reason to quit and make a killing
I admit, our dealing is painful
Like a star upon a child staring down from the ceiling
How far do we have to stretch the picture
Before pixelating the human texture?
We can take it all back to the register
And start all over from the canister
Let's save it all up for an ultimate prize
Homecoming gathering with a big surprise
Throw on your favorite record that's good to go
On the analog table and it's hooked to blow
Sit back with ease and hear the emcee flow
Hi hat kick drum all the highs and lows
[Chorus: Shing02]
It's funny how the music put times in perspective
Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it
Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far
Wherever you are
It's funny how the music put times in perspective
Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it
Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far
Wherever you are
[Verse 3: Shing02]
Um, third time's the charm, hopefully
When I chime on your door you'd still let me in
After all these years
The room that you caved in my heart is exactly the same as you left it
I realize that you have moved on
New styles and cliques like them silent flicks
I'm speechless in this golden occasion
The beautiful expression on the silver creation
This time I'd like to keep in touch
I'm a little bit wiser, a whole lot tougher
If I suffer through another nightmare tonight
We'll chalk it up as another chapter to write, all right?
Or wrong or somewhere down the middle of the road
I wanna see you again in a scene with the backdrop a perfect ten
And the music can take us back to the spot right then
From black and white to a sepia tone
Some dreams come with a tint or in monochrome
From black and white to my skin tone
Some dreams have a stint on the microphone
[Chorus: Shing02]
It's funny how the music put times in perspective
Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it
Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far
Wherever you are
It's funny how the music put times in perspective
Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it
Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far
Wherever you are
[Verse 4: Shing02]
Okay we can take it all back to the register
And start all over from the canister
Let's break it all down into pieces of bright
Moments that pass by like a meteorite
Throw on your favorite jacket and you're good to roll
On the analog trail and you look the role
Just stroll through the trees and let your miseries go
Sunshine hurricane all the highs and lows
[Outro]
We can take it all back to the register
And start all over from the canister
Let's break it all down into pieces of bright
Moments that pass by like a meteorite
4. Luv(sic) Part 4 15:25
[Hook]
Snow flakes in January
Heart warm like February
I wouldn't ordinarily
March to the drum, play a fool like April
May the best dance in a Juno bridal
Power of the will, Julius and Augustus
Aw you know, it's just us
In a new semester, back in September
Boy, I wonder if you still remember
[Verse 1: shing02]
Meet me half way from mars to venus
Beep beep, the chase is on between us
Retweet the sweetest piece of confection
Hand made device for remote connection
Ask a question
Wait for an answer and make a suggestion
A time and a place for a first impression
Second and third to a fourth dimension
Rise above the weights that hold us captive
To a square, swear that I, I the captain to
Cruise in sci-fi, red sky burn like sapphire
A moth to a fire, but we can fly higher
Till we reach an apex
We fit tight like a glove with the latex
Bring it down to earth for a cooling session
Laying sideways and glazed in essence
Gazed each other in the eye to find galaxies of
Uncharted nebulas
Heard joy over spilled milk on a quilt, of lavender
Woven in the fabric of our calendar
Dress up at the end of October
Give thanks to the fam in November
A cold but cozy December
And we're back to the origin, so let me begin
[Hook]
Snow flakes in January
Heart warm like February

May the best dance in a Juno bridal
Power of the will, Julius and Augustus
Aw you know, it's just us
In a new semester, back in September
Boy, I wonder if you still remember
[Verse 2: shing02]
When you took my hand, I couldn't hide it
Way too delighted
Tried to ride it cool but obliged to write it
Wouldn't fight it, how my watch paused
When I put my lips on your eyelids
The lost second, deposit in a memory bank
Every chance I pocketed a cent
A blank check with ya signature
Font sans serif, the curvature, a lone harbinger
With toys play coy like fish in a pond
Fond words serve poems like dish
Life is short like a doggone leash
Or a fuse in an open circuitry
That got struck by lightning
Hang a painting on the wall over the writing
Brighten up the room for a private dining
Increase the peace and cease the anxiety
Spread love and cc: the whole society
You got me shooting off on a tangent
Like I always do when I'm on the fringe
And the tally of the letters will reach
The valley where the wings will seek
A series so classic at the top of October
Give thanks to the fam in November
A cold but cozy December
And we're back to the origin, so let me begin
[Hook]
Snow flakes in January

5. Luv(sic) Part 5 20:33
Till death do us apart, and it did
Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun
My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead
On our lives we nourished
And the days we cherished as kids
We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
Your smile is the only thing that shines
In your last breath you told me, that you had to go
Cause it pained you so
Oh I loved you so much so
Was I selfish to hold on
And cling on to your body that hosts a soul
That wanted to set free the eagle in a cage
And you became eagerly what I wanted to be
You the person to leave, I the person
To see off another best friend to land's end
I watched grown men moan, and women weep
As you quietly descended six feet deep
But the spirit ascended before our wet eyes
A gift from god, returned to sender
Though I like to pretend that this never happened
I can turn around and see you laughing
But the fact is you could never practice
Getting blind-sided and eating the wind shield
Endless field of shards of glass
This too shall pass, but reality bites, it says not so fast
First you must climb a calvary of shattered hopes
And then a mountain of prayers unheard
'till you reach that peak where you can see the dark abyss below
Then you let me know if you have what it takes for a leap of faith
I had to say, hell no, heaven yes, but not yet
Please bless a forehead, cold in a bed
Or alone on the road with nobody to hold
When the pouring rain is too much to bear
It's a reason to live for a seed that needs care
Till death do us apart and it did
Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun
My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead
On our lives we nourished
And the days we cherished as kids
We let it whizz on by, but when I rewind
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
Your smile is the only thing that shines
Now I hit this stage in honor of you
How's the other side, I bet it's a splendid view
No more stress for rent, or to make ends
Collide in a cocktail, shame with envy
I can hide behind lens that block the UV
Looking in from the outside the bowl is murky
The toll for the bridge is rising
Weatherman says storm, city hall is burning
Same ol' chaos, gotta shut my cell like I'm waiting to take off
On the runway, scoping out the window
The moisture covers the sight though
Telling myself it's just another day in the life of a starving artist
Trying to paint a dream you woke from
Chasing the departed
We used to hang by the banks to see who can skip a stone the farthest
What I thought was a stream is now an ocean
No such thing as an extreme to show devotion
To your craft, which I didn't know the half
Tried to knock down your door and caught the backdraft
And a whiplash, all in reverse
Then I finally stood up and said, we reserve the right to serve anyone
And on the same note you deserve the best of the most fun
By the way I got your letter, you said you were fed up
Well I second that and I reckon that you tried
So I don't place a blame that you took the fifth
And the first flight out of town, into the mist
Till death do us apart and it did
Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun
Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead
On our lives we nourished
And the days we cherished as kids
We let 'em whizz on by, but when I rewind
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
Your smile is the only thing that shines
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
Your smile is the only thing that shines
Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries
Or a random hand picks it instantly
Life is art, a miracle for all to see
I must tell you that you lived beautifully
6. Luv(sic) Grand Finale 26:20
I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world
Now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl
Her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup
Whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone
I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth
But the stones turned precious when they all came out
On a string of deep thought that could never be bought
Body rock don’t stop, be bop to hip hop
Cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor
What was left a shoestring budget on call
Then these new styles came along
Some on to the next on some other hit, their own trip
Colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds, dated
Make you feel old and jaded
The point was to make it and we made it but
We didn’t know how to keep it
Like nice kicks. that wouldn’t fit
Only way was to box it up and duct tape it up
Store it underneath the bed and open it up
Once in a blue moon
Think about a cool ending
To a story that ended too soon
Gotta bring back the feeling
I’ll do anything not to be stuck on fiending
A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient
To an open heart, it’s a daily operation
After six come seven and eight
Access code to the pearly gates
They say heaven can wait
And you speak of fate
A finale to a play for my mate
I see the angels draw the drapes
Over the earthscape
Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape
As our records will stay on rotate
You say a circle is a flawless shape
Every part equi-distance from the center
On the arc without a start or a finish
A line on a loop carries weight
A freight train runs unabated
Views vanish from my point vantage
Passages come in and out
The way I recall your antics (how I remember your antics)
Still alive ’cause I said it
A life of its own unless we dead it
Till they see our name in credits
A labor of love you mean slavery
Surely, it’s been quite savory
Crepe on the balcony, verbal alchemy
Pure magic when she touches me
I read that love is kind but it’s also blind of any style
You profess, would you be my guest (you could be my guest)
Happiness is a hot potato that you can’t possess for long
Just pass it on like asong
And I might look calm and collected at a glance
But I taste the void when I’m not connected
To the world kinetic, as opposed to static
Idle hands a workshop of a digital addict (a modern-day addict)
On a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed
The mind in need of stimulation
Elevator music to the space station
Penthouse of stars a-blazing
After six come seven and eight
Access code to the pearly gates
They say heaven can wait
And you speak of fate
A finale to a play for my mate
I see the angels draw the drapes
Over the earthscape
Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
Gotta finish what we started, so I cut this tape
As our records will stay on rotate
[Verse 1: Shing02]
Lovesick like a dog with canine sensitivity

Low wages, small tips on the avenue
Never wasted, all hits for a revenue
Haven't you heard the news lately?
Seems we've been living for some time in a purgatory
But yo, I thought I knew what a love song sound like
But I felt a warmer tune in the sunlight
I could still hear it in my room past midnight
Gotta move, take a solo cruise in the moon light
Sometimes I do forget, oh how much we could ease the lives we lead
If we learn to let go, the reins that we hold
Return to our souls, and the spirit let flow
So you see, upon everyday faced there's a million shades to
Express definition of grace
But the method I choose my prerogative
There's so much love in me I got to give
[Hook]
Cause the beat plus the melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
(I mean that from my heart cause you make me feel good as a person)
Cause the beat plus the melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
[Verse 3: Shing02]
Oh how I could write a book on how you make me feel
But how about this song that I wrote for you?
What I feel like, I wanna put my trusts in these simple words
For you to feel what I'm saying, what you feel like?
Reminisce about the little episodes that we shared together
Remember the time that you told me
In the cold night, to relax when all I knew was to hold tight
Remember the time that I spoke to the crowd in a full house and
Realizes that you was my ace?
I was the joker on the stage singing the blues
All eyes on me and had nothing to prove
But yo, I thought I knew what a diamond shine like
But I felt a sharper love in the limelight
From the queen of hearts watching me quietly from the upper deck balcony
Sometimes I do suspect, I'm an actor in a well-scripted live divine comedy
When I look back, that frozen slice of time and try to defrost the senses lost
Now enough with the metaphors, the motivation that I wrote this letter for
For you to know that the music helps carry on
Like you say a new day will bring us tomorrow...
[Hook: Shing02 (Richard Pryor)]
Cause my beat plus your melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
Cause your beat plus my melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
Cause my beat plus your melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
(I mean that from my heart cause you make me feel good as a person)
Cause your beat plus my melody
Makes me speak of L.O.V.E eloquently so evidently
(I mean that from my heart cause you make me feel good as a person)
(You know what I mean? Makes me say ‘Well, that shit wasn’t THAT bad)
Thankyou brother
RIP Seba Jun aka Nujabes, wish we had more time with you on Earth. Your music is simply sublime.
作業用にしようと思ったけど曲が良すぎて集中できない。nujabesの曲は永遠に私たちの中で生きていく…
最高ですね🙃
ハハハ、黙ってろよ 😂

this japanese text translates to: I tried to use it for work, but the song was too good to concentrate. Nujabes songs will live on in us forever...
Nujabesに出会ってもう4年か。泣いちゃうね
36:29 My heart hurts. It's not a song. It feels like a prayer for his soul. My tears won't stop. Rest in peace. 心が痛くなりますね。涙が止まらない。
Sometimes I get caught up in myself, I get too focused on myself. I listen to this and I remember that I'm not just one. Love to you all.
久々に、新しい音の入り口を発見した気がします。
クロスオバー、フィュージョン、アシット-各音楽のジャンル前の入るバイブルに成った様にこの音はHIPHOPの入り口に間違いなくなる音です by 64才オヤジ
nujabes最高！
五年間ぐらいずっと聴いています。

this japanese text translates to: For the first time in a long time, I feel like I've discovered a new entrance to sound. Crossover, Fusion, Asit - this sound is definitely the entrance to HIPHOP as it has become the bible of each genre of music by 64 years old
I'm not really into rap music in general, but this is truly a masterpiece, period.
This is beyond ordinary rap music tbh. It blends well with the soft jazz in the background. It's a unique music rather than just 'rap'.
Check out orpheus vs the sirens, it also has very good beats and flow imo
Edit: also found clouddead s/t recently, a great one also
If you already like this, you have a whole new world to discover. there are so many chill rap albums
@@set7618 its rap to the bones. straight boom bap rythm over aesthetic piano and strings, paired with great flows and rhyme schemes, this is hip hop/rap to the core it embodies the rawness of sampling music and being a dj/producer.
same as I
I found Nujabes then Shing02 after watching Samurai Champloo and ever since he has become an inspiration and part of my deisgn process and when I listen and work on my projects/assignments, and now that I am doing my fashion design degree, it's like the beats, the lyrics, the overal atmosphere allows my hands to swiftly move on its own and create work I did not expect nor a new ideation. Much love
Necesitaba escribir una retrospectiva desde el fondo de mi corazon. No puede crer que pedazo de soundtrack me fue a acompañar. Descanza en paz viejo. Hiciste lo que tenias que hacer y te amamos por eso
Nujabes siempre.
Saludos! Nujabes me cambió la forma de sentir y vivir el aislamiento social y de estudiarme a mi mismo.
Un abrazo Jorge, espero estes muy bien
Nunca te olvidaremos Jun Seba!!!
amen bro, RIP nujabes
Part 2 Acoustica feels so emotional and heartfelt. It’s so obvious that Shing02 was more than just a collaborator but a dear friend to Nujabes
In an interview shing mentioned they had a deep musical connection but otherwise didn’t know each other very well
Starting your day with Nujabes feels like you can make it through the day without any problems.
facts
I throwback to listening to the Samurai Champloo soundtrack while doing HW. Shit, senior year fuckin sucked with Covid but Nujabes was a highlight of those nights at the kitchen table working on a iPad. Rest up bro. You're stuff is loved by millions.
Part 2 always hits me with the feels, always reminds me to take life a little slower and appreciate having fam and friends nearby and to spend more time with them.
I know 2020 and 2021 have been pretty depressing years but don't let the negatives seep through the seems y'all. Hope y'all have a great new years and keep fam and friends close! Life too short to let the negativity take over.
Thanks for the positive vibes man, God bless. He loves us all
@@joelpandess2346 amen
all love my brother

捻挫をしてしまい偶然通い始めた家から近くの整体師さんが教えてくれた。これを奇跡というのか。この音楽に出逢わしてくれて本当にありがとう。
Please, all of you.. lets make a world in peace and without divisions :,(
words cant even express my gratitude for the existence of this album. happy birthday seba jun, rest in beats
I'm in love with part3
man, I feel it when sings "it's funny how music put times in perspective"
This is the first time I discover this guy's music while I just let my youtube play anything. Turns out, my dad knew about this music artist and has a few of his songs!
Great rapper, reminds me of home! Thank you, RUclips and Shing02 for existing.
Cute comment, thanks ❤️
Takes me back to my teenage years laying back playing kingdom hearts n nights to dreams good times
For sure, memories 💙
I think this is my favorite album now.
First time I have ever heard this album and I am absolutely falling in love. How have I not heard this before?!?!?
Kled?
@@harrysachz5408 itsyaboi
Never too late :)
Never too late to get into nujabes and shing 02
This beats and rhymes are of a quality you'll not find anywhere else. Pure art and feeling.
I wouldn't say anywhere but it's very rare.
its funny i've heard them all one day, but sticked to pt1, then after a period of time, i heard pt 2 again, and LOVED it so much more than before, same with 3 and 4 in different periods... if you hear them at different times of your life, it strikes different, each one, and just proves how great these songs are. i love them all
Nujabes not only started a music style, he still is in my opinion the best in it
“I mean that from my heart ‘cause you make me feel good as a person you know what I mean? Makes me say ‘Well, that shit wasn’t THAT bad.’”
随時で心を治せるアルバム。
イギリスで毎日聴いています。
Rest in Peace Nujabes!
私の人生における音楽感の基軸を構成するヌジャベスの音楽。尊敬以外なにものでもない。
まったく同感です

Oh i didnt know it was mostly remixes...ty
yeomans work,,,
Grand Finale is heartbreaking yet the most beautiful one
Oh where on Earth would I be without Nujabes and Shing02.
Part 3 is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard
Thinking of you, I will just live believing in fate and destiny. If they do not lead you to me, then I will just continue keeping you in my heart as a proof that all this wasn't just a dream.
@ice ice I wish it was so, it was just from a broken heart
@Victor Zamora I tried to post an answer 4 times, hope this reaches you finally now ! The Unstoppable Power of Letting Go | Jill Sherer Murray | TEDxWilmingtonWomen, and How to fix a broken heart | Guy Winch (both on RUclips) helped me so much from the very beginning. Meditation 10min everyday, you have free guided meditation on Insight Timer app.
@Victor Zamora + Yoga and / or fitness to get self-esteem, let go of negativity, get strong and resilient. No activities reminding me of my ex, stopping all sad songs, listening to uplifting songs like Tuxedo to help shift my mood. I hope this can help you, take good care of you, forgive yourself, forgive the other, now you know what you can and cannot accept in your life, it is a big lesson
Antes de morir, necesito escuchar esto caminando tranquilamente por la calles de Tokio. Debe ser un espectáculo increíble 🤍
Before I die, I need to hear this walking quietly through the streets of Tokyo. It must be an incredible show 🤍
Yo he soñado de irme a japon tambien. I also always dreamed of going to Japan.
Não precisa ser em Tokyo
Literally the only songs I have never ever gotten tired of listening since 2006 when my friend in high school introduced me. If 'most-listened' existed since those eyars, at least one or two luv sic song would show in the top 5 every year consecutively, alongside other genres.
I'm sad we lost Nujabes. It's not fair. But I am so, so happy we ever had him. This upload is a gift
Luv(sic) Part 3 is my fav one! It gives me a certain vibe I can't explain
I remember when I was 16 and I started getting into Shing02, this was the 2nd song I ever heard by him...knew the lyrics within a week...RIP NUJABES JUN SEBA!
This is an album, what song was your 2nd song?
@@frankyboi4488 luvsic part 1
@@frankyboi4488 also sucks this video is blocked now
@@PKSkyler Blokced? Where u at?
@@smimon4461 i live in usa. its blocked here for some reason. luckily i already have the album downloaded
when i first heard part 5 i thought it was the weakest song of the bunch. i liked it but it really didn't feel on the level of the rest. then I found out that he was referring to the death of nujabes and oooof, the song hits me harder then anything now.
Эта музыка переполненна любовью. Слушая этот альбом я плакал, не из-за того что грустно, а из-за того, что счаслив это слушать и чувствовать.
Nujabes, спасибо.
Приятно, что русское комьюнити знает о таком гении и ценит его творчество! RIP jun seba
@@сергейсипин-и8р я о нём узнал случайно, через обзор jazz hip-hop(а). Ну и теперь сам учусь писать музыку в этом жанре. Знаю, что жанр не популярный, но с такой музыкой можно достичь сердец хороших людей.
@@andreygubin7160 Вы большой молодец! Удачи Вам! Обязательно отпишите, как появится первый трек) Буду рад стать вашим слушателем!
Парт 3 просто божественное искусство. Жаль что гения нет рядом с нами
Whatever this feeling that you get from part 4-6 is....i want it.....I feel that this feeling should be a life goal
毎日聴いてるわガチで。
まだ歌えないなぁ。
まだ聴いてる
This album has helped me lift my spirits up in my recent gloomy days. The girl that I love so much who I would protect her smile and laughter, has a boyfriend already and it feels like I hit a dead end. Nujabes has been soothing my soul.
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
Your smile is the only thing that shines
Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries
Or a random hand picks it instantly
Life is art, a miracle for all to see I must tell you that you lived beautifully”.
Thank you Nujabes and Shing.

もう何年も何年も前になる。その時はCDが主流でタワレコでジャケ買いしてた。その一つ。ハマりました。R.I.P
Here after finished watching Samurai Champloo. This guy is a fucking legend and a whole vibes.
Nujabes and Shing saved me from a deeply hole i found myself in. Im forever grateful. ❤
Luv (sic) part 5 is the only thing on this planet that still can make me cry.
Man every time I am going through some shit in life, either I come back to this or it comes back to me, and it really gets me through. It's funny how music puts times in perspective...
The luv(sic) project makes me feel great. It's like the music is telling me that even when you are gone people will continue to think about you
Anyone else not know who Nujabes was till recent and also feeling sad hes gone? ❤
Samurai Champloo has a special place in my heart. Didnt even realise I was a huge fan of you. Rest in peace and thank you for the music ❤❤❤
Our respect to Japan..from Iran with love
much love to you, from canada
I dont think anyone can really articulate how much this type of music really hits the spot, its literally puts my mind at ease. RIP Nujabes
i´m in tears... its so deep and relaxing . i got the Courage to following my dreams threw this album. i hope you will too.
Quelles perles ces sons, ça fait presque 10 ans que j'écoute du nujabes à balle et je ne m'en lasse pas... Only good vibes, peace love and stay strong brothers
Luv Sic Part 2 Acoustica legit got me to tear up with the instrumentals alone wtf. Beautiful.
Thank you very much, the upload has no cuts in any frequency, true 320 kbps, i confirmed this with Izotope RX7 and Spek (very useful softwares) . I´ve been spending 5 hours searching many pages but everything is gone. I even did silly trivias and silly things in many fu**ing pages for nothing. This one was my last resource and i found it was 320, all i have to do is cut every song in a DAW. I can listen to this album without problems because I pay youtube premium but nothing comes better than having your own 320 mp3 files, hopefully one day i make my music library to WAV but this is all i can do for now, can´t afford many things yet. Again Thank you for the quality and time for uploading. You know how grateful is someone when you help them get/listen for music they cant find in a certain way.
Lol i have most of his art in .flac
This album can be found in .flac, via torrent.
This is my time stone that i have listened to this 100 times. Still as fresh as the first time
Most of this is post mortem. respect to Nujabes and Shing02
this came back in my recommended after a few years...its just as good as i remembered...
Te ❤❤ jun seba...nujabes gracias por todo su legado...aquí estamos siempre escuchándolos ,recordandolos con mucho amor.
❤️Gracias
The Uyama Hiroto remix is gold 57:04
never tired to enjoy nujabes+shing's Luv(sic)
this playlist came on as i realized that some people in my life were bringing me stress and anxiety. after realizing this i was able to let them go, and i feel so much lighter :) im finally happy again
やっぱりnujabesなんだよなあ……
even though i can't understand almost nothing that he says, that's fire
same but that doesn't change the fact that it rhymes pretty well and his beats somehow touch your soul.
Jun - Seba (Nujabes) was an awesome man, the beat of part 3 reminded me of him. Love it or not he's in lofi hip-hop heaven,
I just wish Nujabes continued on without him but some songs are still based on him. The person who crashed into him probably should've looked who he was gonna crash to. Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it, that's what this man kinda did. Cya later my dude. Goes out to Nujabes and the person who reads this. I hope you have a great life and. Good luck!
色褪せ知らず
Really helped me during the lowest point in my life, thank you Nujabes!!
R.I.P. nujabes.
Thank you world🙏
from JPN.
Blessings for this "I mean this form my heart"
I vibe with this so hard
最初に聞いた時衝撃やったなー
十数年前の大学生の音楽感変えるのには十分すぎた
Happy birthday legend. Would have turned 49 today (Feb 7th) . Always in our hearts- and ears.
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. I especially love part 3 ❤❤❤
Part 3 is really nice 💚
Jun Seba is still alive in my headphones
i'm feeling this a lot, nostalgia is a beautiful thing bro
Long live Nujabes, this music history
part4が好きすぎて毎日聴いてる
スノーフォルクジェニアリー！
this was a such a sentimental album and even more sentimental for me, I was listening to this so much when I first moved to LA and things changed so much. People that were such a big part of my life at that point I don't even know what happened to them now.
Damn, I know some of of these tracks but I listen to the whole album for the first time... Stunning ! RIP Nujabes
昔、Luvsic part2がNHKのみんなの歌で流れたんだよなぁ。とても良くて感動したわ。
rest in peace, its been 14 years
Rest in beats legend!
Why does it makes me feel so good. So good man!
I can't even express how happy this made me! I knew Nujabes was good. I heard some of his songs but never heard these. Now he's my favorite artist. Really thank you!
This feels good in my brain.
Wow. First time I've actually saved an album recommended for me by youtube. So glad I found this.
