Magnetic North - So Long

[theluckywilliam]

Just saying no offense (title) That's what she said!! lol

[BlackStringedWolf]

Akeboshi + Magnetic North = WIN

[japanese7monkey]

This song is lovely

[killboi2008]

whats the song called? the naruto song

[armakid]

@killboi2008 That would be Wind by Akeboshi

[killboi2008]

@armakid Thanks! much appreciated

[bosniankid801]

damn! magnetic north. i still cannot believe that other then the people i told. im the only one of my friends who actually listens to them

[zzomgitsme]

this song is so deep.

[rockleevsgai]

y cant i find them on wikipedia o.o

[therealnaruto100]

Yes, people who are FANS OF NARUTO!!!!!

[battlecow1]

Meh.

It's a nice beat, a nice sound, but the lyrics are (obviously) the most important part of the song; they lack something. The message is repetitive and cliched, there are only one or two clever bits.

[hotwheel360]

@battlecow1 its make's sense if your smart

[battlecow1]

@hotwheel360 I didn't say "its" didn't "make's sense." I implied that it was unoriginal and lacking in lyrical profundity. If you spoke English, you might come to the same conclusion.

[hotwheel360]

@battlecow1 No. it has lots if lyrical profundity you just have to get it

[sakura135795]

About three years after I first heard this song. It still gets me every time.

[Countrobula]

probably one of the only rap songs written in 6/8

[hotwheel360]

This song makes me feel sad but good at the same time

[shockwave764]

Im guessing magnetic north are a fan of naruto..

[LittleMrRandom]

The piano tune to this song is just the opening to the song wind by akeboshi -.-

[vietiscool]

@LittleMrRandom yea it's called SAMPLING

[Kiffner1]

I saw Magnetic North last night.

Amazing, no joke.

Best one out of the rest playing

[Beybladers090]

@Kiffner1 at home for the holla days 2 right

[Kiffner1]

@Beybladers090 Yup yup

[MrKengxiong]

this is garbage

[Elfisty7]

@MrKengxiong you are garbage.

[sam17simba]

@MrKengxiong Shut up, Troll.

[jeffshi1345]

@MrKengxiong Shut up u retard!!!

[DragonsRule02]

This song is amazing <3

[Pochako]

Thats interesting they used the tune from Akeboshi, Wind.

[runefire261]

[yangoholic]

They just G6 far east!

[HeyAnAsain]

this song is sicker than hitlers K/D ratio...

[sithhhhhh]

@HeyAnAsain HAHAHAHAHA good comment xD

[Elfisty7]

@HeyAnAsain Lol good one man! Many millions/1 right?

[shichan]

why aren't these guys better known? instead we got some generic-ass shit that go on about booties and getting shitfaced. what the fuck does that say about our future? nothing good i'll tell you that.

[AznMcchunky]

this brings back memories of when i had a friend in 1st we hung out till 8th grade and now we graduated and we never talk anymore....

[aznracerboi2k5]

sick song!!

[prototype844]

i cried

[GianneDaSamurai]

Oh my god... i've listened to this song many times before, but i never felt the lyrics so much as i do now... im visitin my hometown for the summer and im leavin in two days, and i never bothered to get in touch with my old friends this entire time. And i always write letters that i never send, i never return calls, etc etc. Damn. :'(

[2142ordbok]

love the slideshow! nice work

[slarer345]

9 people are deaf O-O

[SmileB4uDie]

@slarer345 lol

[Datahazard64]

Very touching song

[jiffy973]

these guys have talent.. theyve learned formthe best ( mwa)

[lolwarriordps]

Damn that was awesome

[2Kh2Random]

Hey the instrument is Wind- Naurto o-o

[the0noob0eater]

I love the piano

[Ruzz45]

[slarer345]

@Ruzz45 they are an asain band who think the world is wrong and shiz so yea listen to we will not be moved and ull get what im saying its a good song :D

[YouVRay]

facebook them. Theresa Vu & Derek Kan. You can google their website too

[Kratos725]

@Ruzz45 they're underground so they aren't very popular but what ya see is what ya get they are a good group so just like their songs :D

[Winbond]

I love their songs

[cjpinoy12]

magnetic north is way to good to go unnoticed. you dont see artists now a days with a true message behind their music that applies to so many people in the world.

[OhhRhiannon]

this song is beautiful.

Simply amazing<3

[rockjaw147]

anyone know where i can find piano sheet music for this? been looking but can't find it

[kichianime5]

If you type up Wind- Akeboshi piano sheet. You should get it and its the intro.. It keeps on replaying btw. :p enjoy~ ^.^

[irenethekorean]

man, copying Wind by Akeboshi! great song, but too similar.

[Azndeity]

Wrong it's call sampling. often used as tribute or to add another layer of story to a song.

It's a paid sample as well.

[JustFlowWithTheWind]

magnetic north = skillz

[SoFr3shAzn]

they should be famous.i mean all over the world famous

[XxDJHyperxX]

You are so right!!

[SoFr3shAzn]

yep xD

[heygals]

agreed

[aznassacin]

i love T VU! i got some videos of one of their shows and from kickin it with them on my page!

[ignition07]

very nice. my favorite song from magnetic north

[EmoLove339]

one good thing is theyre on tour right now... check their myspace... i thought the group was done or broke up or at least taking a break but i was wrong w00t!

[549333]

Naruto soundtrack - Wind - don't cry

is the beat hahahaha

[shoeman415]

they're hella good. do they have second album yet?

[ProDjo777]

i like the wind song more, but this one is cool as well

[o0MUzzIC0o]

i love the quote at 0:27 ..

[o0MUzzIC0o]

this song is so deep :'(

[123emyeuanh]

I like this song a lot.(:

[jessiicka08]

i truly get lost in their music.

but i like it.

[kamarionizuka]

i mean "wind" a naruto theme

[chrismatic82]

Damn. I just discovered this song and they know how to write lyric.

[ROSEMARiiaznprd]

loves it ..

[chiptrix]

Derek is a huge fan of naruto and has said over and over again that he did sample from that song. Maybe he meant that he produced the beat, which is true. Producing and sample are two different things.

[zenin2]

Akeboshi is an amazing japanese folk artist for a rap group to use it as a sample is truely amazing.

[xminibuix]

I like to compare them to Blues Scholars, but so far i'm digging magnet north alot, sadly i dind't know they were around when they were still going strong

[BboyPerpetual]

Jealous? It's ok. We get that a lot.

[gamingfan94]

You know, two things here, a) why do you bother looking up a band you don't like just to comment on it rather then saving yourself the torture of listening...

b) Get some background information before commenting because honestly, they're not both Chinese...

[indiekid558]

me and my friend wrote sheet music for the piano part. We posted it on face book, you can add us and find it if you want xP. My user name is Alex FitzRawr, but that doesnt matter if you dot read music or dont play piano.

[phudao41]

i want the instrumental

[phudao41]

r they viet or chinese

[BboyPerpetual]

One is viet (Theresa), the other is Chinese (Derek).

[AsashiSakai]

whats their relationship?

[asiankid1986]

damn magnetic north r really good. are there any other artists like them around now

[HoyEstoyPinoy]

well theres still a few artists keepin it real, em's making a comeback, always loved his stuff, or immortal tech.

but i think what really gives north their unique sound is how they record their instrumentals and such. like keeping electronics to the minimum, keeping a genuine sound. they're so. fucking. talented. its crazy, their lyrics are raw and their beats are so musical

[Arielleyy]

they're good.

best i've heard since real hop hop died and popular sound came to life.

love them.

love naruto. haa

[nnttmm]

gotta give props to anybody that samples a naruto theme !

[monkeygunSD7]

where can i get this song?

[persiancutie1682]

listened to this song so much its stuk in my head

[sinistercharlie]

pretty good

[frozenarthas]

I heard this song from some JDM EK EG video and damn they are good!

[XXTifaGainsboroughXX]

can someone please send me this song??? PLEAAAASE!!

[nightcrowred]

Magnetic North is one of the greatest artists that I've heard in a long time. I love all there songs. I have there Debut album and there newest remakes. Please promote these guys to your local radio stations. Thats what I'm doing. There are very little Asian hip hop artists that are actually good. most other just talk about things that dont matter. and dont talke about friendship, the pains and joys of life. This is what I would call Intelligent rap.

[okcorgi]

totally, totally agree with you.

it's also really hard to find a solid female rapper.

magnetic north are a perfect duo; and i agree with you. i love every song of theirs.

their lyrics are powerful and easy to relate to.

hip hop for respect.

[RealChinese]

where do i cop there album?

[LUVINDRAMA2012]

I hadn't heard of them before today but I must say they are AMAZING!

[jthree68]

damn, me too! I just learned about them today too, I gotta say theyre talking about my life.

[CwalkDrupi]

So long since I been without you

Remember me and you were like family?

No song could ever amount to

The memories that we had, can we

Hold on though this time is borrowed?

I'm away where you cant always stay

Go on though I cannot follow

But I swear youll never hear me say

"So long."

[jordanjohson]

I'm sort of new to magnetic north but i think i can say love at first sight from their lyrics, interviews and aspirations. words truly don't express how much i love their music

keep it up

[davance4]

nice song to play when its raining, reminisce old times

[DistinctEcho]

I saw this in a naruto music vid, and thought that the naruto song was there because the editor put it there.

[AmatsuRyu]

Everyone who says these guys stole the background obviously hasn't heard of sampling.

Sampling is a common technique in hip-hop, they didn't do antything wrong here.

[ComaYT]

it´s Akeboshi - Wind The first ending of Naruto ...

[AmatsuRyu]

So what's your point?

[ComaYT]

thats the name of the sampled song

[AmatsuRyu]

Oh, yeah I knew that.

I was just explaining the concept of Sampling. I knew the song already.

[BabyTheSkyIsBlue]

this is a tribute to naruto and sasuke's friendship. they did not steal it.. lmao I read some where that their producer or sumthing was a narutard ^^''

[duartistickimchee]

anyone know how to get mp3 for this song? THIS SONG ROX :]

[yuiisuki]

I love Magnetic North's songs. The lyrics they write are kept true and real. I like how they target issues some of us are facing today. :]

[aznkorean22]

lmao, these people got sued for stealing Akeboshi song :O

[xXRoxasKH2Xx]

they didn't steal it they sampled. Otherwise Daft Punk and Kanye West and them should get sued too

[Shinji91]

Badass comeback! X3. Its true too. Soooo many prominent artists use samples. Sometimes, they dont even pay for them.

[Samusangu]

Search "Wind - Akeboshi", Akeboshi got ripped. =\

[xXRoxasKH2Xx]

sampled foo

[TheLovelyCara]

yeah... stolen? sure sure sure. here, watch me steal some shit from Paris Hilton:

That's Hot!

Oh gosh, I hope I don't get sued and have to take this comment down.

People that hate on Magnetic North are stupid.

[Samusangu]

Wow, how conceded, =\

Thing is, Akeboshi copyrights his songs... and that bg music, is part of his song... fkn idiot.

[sartotheruhh]

magnetic north paid for the rights to use the hook in this song.

their album was taken off the market because of the lyrics in "drift away".

[xXRoxasKH2Xx]

wow listen to yourself do your research you "fkn idiot" you can't bye their album because of drift away as stated by sartotheruhh. Ever heard of sampling?

[RedGrobo]

yah i found a bunch of them on limewire.

[darkidd1]

does anyone know where i can get an mp3 of this song?

[AznX916Dragon]

limewire?

[truluv8706]

that where i got the song.

[keysle]

nice way to get yoru self out there. you know people are getting racked for that

[shinoto]

Holy fucking shit. This is that song Wind by Akeboshi or something like that I don't really remember. Yo that is SICK! Haha gotta love it.

[seswick]

anyone know if they have an album out?

[doulassureno]

they DID. a song on it got the album pushed outta production cuz there was a single lic that they didn't know about. they got all the others, but that one screwed them. awesome songs tho

[Samusangu]

You can't buy their albums anymore, because they got sued by some other artist, because they ripped their BG music.

[xXRoxasKH2Xx]

no on their myspace it was cause the notes in their song drift away were the same as this other song. Only 4 measures

[xanxnguyenx]

obv ppl, if they took the song from naruto, they got permission

[misstiffk]

I love magnetic north. but SO THE NARUTO BACKROUND THEME. i was watching it and i was like..i'm watching a naruto amv? but it's an awesome song

[polibito]

!!!!!!!!!!!111si este video es lo maximo....

y no xq sea de naruto si no q es brabazo!!!1

no pdo dejar de ezcuxarlo

[azndude127]

fuck naruto...

bleach for the win and magnetic north FTW :)

[bmflsasnaru]

fuk u naruto allll da wa laa !!!

[esykillll]

lol iunno if she stole the naruto background and dunno if its copyrighted.. if it is.. they're dead.

[bmflsasnaru]

naaaaaaaaaa they never naruto used the backround music thats all ^_^

[BIueMonkey]

hhey..isnt that background piano from like naruto or something?

[SkylinesTheLimit]

yup

[harlequinsCrest]

anyone got the lyrics for this song

[lyricachansoundbite]

oh my god... they've stolen the Wind background!! everybody, look for "Akeboshi- Wind"!!

[jadeof1004s]

They borrow alot of other tunes from songs.

Like, try watching "Magnetic North- Drift Away". You'll notice it.

[lyricachansoundbite]

really? i'll check up right now!! O.o

[sara12sara]

"borrow" is a pretty word but "stole" is the proper(sp?) word... the original is better...

[jadeof1004s]

I didn't want to use 'steal'. I have no knowledge of how they use this music or why so *shrug*.

And also, because they take the tunes and rework it in an entirely different way -so stealing didn't seem to fit quite right.

Though others may have a different opinion. (Don't you dare flame me for anything.) -.-;

[jadeof1004s]

OH WAIT. So i looked around a bit -they get the right cleared to use the music samples.

Once, they thought all the rights were cleared for, i believe, "Drift Away", but they missed one and when they asked, they got rejected. They made a 'fixed' one called "Within the Rhythm".

So no, it's not stolenn. They used naruto because 1-they're Naruto fans and the riff is great, 2-"as asian american artists, we thought it would be a great platform for representin an aspect of asian culture." 3-CHALLENGE

[ccpimps]

thats pretty ignorant for one they remixed it and to they are in a completely different language...this song is really good actually

[tehbignoob]

stolen? lol

[xxaznpriderxx]

i luv this song

it will b number 1 and the guy derick is hot

[ayo2yayo]

I love this group! Too bad they decided to go their separate ways for a minute.

[gacayana]

i love this song. it just tells a part of life. i love magnetic north :D

[kikyohatake]

[badchser550i]

[emtep]
