Aesop Rock - One of Four

One of Aesop's most powerful songs. it used to be on youtube but i went looking for it recently and couldnt find it anymore. anyways, its always been a comfort song for me when i'm having a hard time and so i wanted to make it available without having to do the secret track thing, but no copyright infringement intended and i'm happy to take it down if need be.

I remember hearing this at 3:30am, and relating to it so much, and crying. I shared it with my son who was 13-14 at the time. This was way back when it came out. The cd was over and it just went on. Then, boom, this monster hidden track appeared and scared the shit out of me.
Here I am 53 yo in 5/2023, crying and still relating even more. My son, who shared the love of Aesop rock with me, is dead. My seemingly splinter-proof brain bone-scaffolding imploded. It’s so unfair the man I have become to so many because of this. I’m trying to get better. Just know this song gets me through sometimes.

Men these days -_- or what people call a man

[@patrickkelley6698]

Iv teared up to this song as well

[@parthur7036]

Yo man be strong and live in his memory. He passed on to a better life and we are stuck here listening to Ace rock. That's the brutal beauty of life. I lost my brother and sister so I can relate somewhat.

[@quickhandsmcgraw]

So sorry for your loss 🕯️RIP

"I guess it is kind of funny when you look at it from a step back. How one man can literally buckle under the same pressures other men operate normally under. I have scoped this out from all angles, multiple times. I have been over everything in my head, till I can't think anymore. But I guess some times, when you can't breathe, there are people there to breathe for you. I am lucky enough to have those people around me. Thank you for helping me to not die. Thank you for helping me to not die"
Goddamn this track

[@griffinmcelroy6598]

I was looking everywhere for this song. It definitely disappeared for awhile. I can understand it due to the personal message but his lyricism and use of metaphor.. it makes me empathasize with the pain and rage and regret in his voice.. this may be one of my favorite songs of Aesop

[@njnjnnj100]

It's on Spotify as a hidden track at the end of the Daylight EP, not separately though.
Love it as well man, a true shot to the heart.

[@chrstphrxmllr]

@@njnjnnj100yeah like 10 min after the last song. It’s really hidden lol.

THANK GOD FINNALY ITS ON ITS OWN

[@bigcountryV]

I know I'm not the first person to say this. And I don't wanna sound corny. But this song saved my life. I didn't think anyone understood. Even the ones trying to help. Wasn't till I heard this that I knew

[@kamigawamaster]

[@johnriley3335]

Imagine having a mental breakdown a month before 9/11

I think he lived in New York at the time as well, brutal.

[@ju4408]

​@@mazorprime8035"Breaker one-nine, nine-eleven O-one witness, maybe you don't get this". Plus, "I don't like to talk about the UFO crash".

[@troyhenquinet5953]

​@@ju4408 what song is that

[@ju4408]

Fist line was from "N.Y. Electric". The second was from "That is Not a Wizard".

[@MeredithAvila]

Mine was July 2001 this song really was useful to define it all as soon as I discovered it maybe 02? 03?
