♫ Nujabes - the sign (ft. pase rock)

[U4rikmind]

when i first heard this song I was depressed as hell. I felt exactly like these lyrics. somedays I still do.

[IAmJeenyuss]

Wow.... "Time is not a nice person." Gotta love that qoute

[HipHopiz4Real]

the sample is from the Great Jazz Trio

[demonchil2009]

[CHetzler]

Thanks for the vid man, and the song of course. So profound, but so easy on the ears

R.I.P. Gil Scott Heron.

[WuBoy80]

I may be late on this, but since Gil Scott Heron just died. I just realized how much this song reminds me of "The Revolution Will Not be Televised." I get the same feeling from this song.

[meirus]

@WuBoy80 You can tell it was inspired by it. It's funny, I came to this video because of the same reason. I heard "The Revolution Will Not be Televised" and It made me think of this.

Hi everyone :)

This is V.I.B.E., we are two fifteen year old ex-international school kids, one of us lives in Japan, and the other in America, we are a hip hop duo, and we make music over Skype, with our inspirations being Fort Minor, Kanye West, and Eminem.

If you have a good knowledge of hip hop or music in general, please check out our channel and let us know what we need to do to improve on.

Thanks :)

[ttokis267]

Image if music like this was popular, if the world asked for positive messages... if we wanted this feeling of peace... we would definitely be different. I am hopeful that the day will come... keep it real though.

[oegelaaboegela]

gotta love nujabes

[1HeatWalk]

Every time i hear this song i always apply it to my personal life. Am i going the right way in life that i want? Did i fail to see the signs because of other distractions? Is it too late change the direction i am heading because i missed the signs?

Very very deep lyrics indeed.

[sinterQ]

Thanks for that comment @1HeatWalk ..There's great truth in that.

Music has helped me a lot over the years... in over-standing the seemingly insane world around me. I'm happy to say that it has helped me grow enormously and today I'm in a space where i never thought to be a few years ago... its great to hear when other you-mans find strength and/or direction through music.

Enjoy your path, brother!

[Bhatch2007]

@sinterQ Overstanding?

[sinterQ]

yeah @Bhatch2007 ..I try not to stand UNDER anything

[Bhatch2007]

@sinterQ Except your house and unfamiliar concepts, correct?

[sinterQ]

@Bhatch2007 and a nice bridge every now & then :) 

[Bhatch2007]

@sinterQ lol. of course.

[ManSmokingACigarette]

@1HeatWalk

This song is talking about humanity and the downhill road that it is going.

But I know what you mean, I feel that way too.

[kidzdownthestreet]

All I can say is... <3

[demonchil2009]

[autolitem]

@andresgualdron Same here. Same here.

[toket420]

i love nujabes

[lostintravise]

such a nice track.. damn

[warangel87]

lol stop sign said hammer time,,, anyway great vid i tell ppl that all the time it's detrimental to read the world around you

[mb433]

it's basically backing up the saying that history tends to repeat itself. That's why we got to read the signs.

[rozieez]

It is what it is...We must read the SIGNS! luv it

[sephyiroth]

"time is not a nice person..I know because the sign said it..Time Can be Generous..but it is indifferent..time Can give two damns or a fuk"

Real Shit right there.

[TAHMURI]

you dont need to medidate, you only need to THINK.

[sinterQ]

hmmm maybe, but we've all been "thinking" for a while now, and look where it got us. I believe "FEELING" is just as important, if not more-so.

It's the contrast, the absence of conscious thought vs' rationalizing everything into its little box... since all is one... and "there is no spoon", I believe the answer is neither black or white :)

[TAHMURI]

your true its not black or white, but the one thing people DONT do nowadays is think, instead they let society think for them, and tv tell them whats right and whats cool. seach for nujabes - think different. oh and by the way people do use their feelings, they are driven by fear for the unknown.

[katrastrophy]

@TAHMURI Knowledge is useless without understanding.

Thought without action is just a passing memory.

Mediation is better than dreaming , the mind is still awake enough to rest and reflect with control without real effort. Peace.

[DavidEscalante21]

Video and music are awesome. Good job!

[kaleexto]

now that ive heard Gil Scott-Heron´s " the revolution will not be televised" ... i kan see that pase rock probably had a hint of inspiration to that song... right?

[sinterQ]

not sure, but thanks for the 'twist' ... great comment

[imsoSCENExCORE]

we give them both eyes ;) amazing! This is a lyrical masterpiece.

[alexisNYK1]

lol pee limit 20

theres a sign in my old neighborhood that said pee checked by radar lol that brought back some memories

[manutdfanatics]

Nice.

[SharpStrike]

Very deep song. A shame that we don't get lyrics this meaningful in music nowadays.

[muteculture]

You do, you just have to look for it.

[sinterQ]

true :) but i think we should form a 'club' ;)

[Rorisu]

Nujabes is a great artist, and this song is awesome. Unluckly, I dont understand all the lyrics :( .

[sinterQ]

dude, what the fuck, not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to learn english, OK? chill the fuck out, son

[Rorisu]

That's right, I don't understand every lyrics because I am French, but the song is great anyway.

[BenderB3030]

whats funny is that 2min 20sec pase rock mentions about the ignorance of the american ppl...thbs35 is an example

[RythmofNature0608]

Bender u r so right man XD

[thbs35]

man, what the hell did i say that makes you people soo mad?

[thbs35]

not a good way to right a wrong, eh?

ps, im NOT AMERICAN.

[jorge1234]

hell yeah!

[thbs35]

whatever i said i appologize, i probably took it in the wrong way, rorisu.

my bad.....

[Rorisu]

No problem thbs35 ;)

[Kandermar1zijn]

this feels nice to read back ;)

"misunderstanding, apology, NO problem" :)

we CAN all get along, you know :p

[Fabrizio0o]

This is what Hip Hop really needs!

It is true i totally agree with you people. Let the idiots watch the media/mainstream hip hop while we listen to this kind of music. Man myself I'm so happy that i found the underground. It saved me from the idiotic music on television and the radio. But to be honest, if it wasn't for the radio there wouldn't be any underground music though =) . So unfortunately in order to be something, something else has to happen. That's blessing with this music for life..

[sinterQ]

word!

:) but remember... they won't be on utube forever!

[djrerun01]

I've listened to this song every day for the past month. Every time, I get something new from it. Every day now, I try to be even a little more observant than the last, try to take in a little more knowledge than the last. A shame that a song with that kind of power isn't replacing the songs on the radio now. Imagine that -- A song worth overplaying. Thank you for posting this.

[Mattgizzle19]

Thanks for posting this man, i just heard it on internet radio yesterday and it hit me pretty deep. Im inspired to write when i listen to art like this

[sinterQ]

thats beautiful, man...

I wish I had something that truly inspired ME :)

Hopefully you'll write something as nice as these vocals. go for it.

Happy to 'help'

[kaleexto]

i heard somewhere around that inspiration has to find you while you´re workin to find her... you know? ...hope i helped ...peace..

[sinterQ]

she's a fickle mistress :p 

tho I believe meditation would benefit us all in that dpt.

[kaleexto]

oh yeah! meditation always helps...

[RainyDaiyze]

man, we gotta turn this ish around. i listen to this once a day, hear something new everytime.

[sinterQ]

I really appreciate you saying that. Cuz thats how I feel about it. Even I come back to watch it on a regular basis, and I made it.

I must've seen this vid 200+ times & I still love it :)

Thx for the comment...

keep enjoying the wisdom around you; Peace

[RainyDaiyze]
