  • lalalalalalalalalalalalalalaal <3 cute song..

  • This is too short! I WANT MORE! i feel ripped off

  • I could see how people think that this is elevator-ish, but it really is so well-writtem, very interesting chord progressions, and the notes he sings are so unusual. Very unique and original sound that is totally uncommon today. Thank you Thundercat.

  • @andrewthaggard the progressions are magical! Steely Dan meets George Duke!

  • Kinda reminds me of Toro U Moi a bit :D

  • this is the kind of music you hear playing over the intercom in TJ Maxx

  • I wish the all songs on his album were longer

  • 0:36-0:44 whhhhOOOoooooooooo

  • @sk19100 M'kay

  • this song was written for his daughter. such a beautiful tune.

  • sexy

  • Reminds me of george duke

  • This is the type of song you'd bump while cruising around in your AMC Pacer..

  • This is the song that plays when you enter Heaven!!

  • Thank you Thundercat

  • Sounds analog...thick...vibrant...del­ish.

  • Tight groove. It's like Earth Wind and Fire had sex with an astronaut that plays bass - - then had Chaka Khan deliver the baby on a synthesizer with rainbow colored keys. 

  • @jgalloga Stevie Wonder on synth....dawg

  • :)

  • Mumm-Ra disliked this vid

  • Elevator music!?? U people don't know shot...one of the best songs on the project...it sounds like mid 80s Donald Fagan(which never existed) like if he would've made somethin a few years after The nightfly! Classic and futuristic at the same time! GENIUS!

  • Elevator music is awesome though :D Light drums and some smooth vibes plinking along makes my day :D

  • I played the hell out of this song all day.

  • I think I'm in love.

  • You assholes have been calling this shit "elevator music" up until recently. So.. all it takes is subtle hints of synthesizer for people to appreciate smooth jazz?

  • @amphoteres it is very jazzy yes, but you gotta admit, this sounds like elevator music. whys that negative? fucking love this, fusion jazz FTW

  • @amphoteres This is like elevator music at the headquarters of moog lol

  • @amphoteres smooth jazz? well i listend to this and thought hmm....steely dan ripoff

  • @amphoteres

    uh i think it's pretty clear that this is no where near being elevator music...most people would stay in the elevator if they heard this down an elevator down from work...

  • @amphoteres where is this building with an elevator that has thundercat playing in it?

  • @amphoteres

    If THIS was elevator music, security would have to literally kick me out of the building.

    Imagine ThunderCat paving the way for all future "elevator" musicians.

  • @amphoteres lol i was just bout to type i love the synth

  • @amphoteres Perhaps all smooth jazz needed was subtle hints of synthesizer to take it to the next level, so to speak.

  • @amphoteres and a lack of saxophone, and a singer. Plus a bassline that rides more to the beat. Smooth jazz has a more loong drawn out feel to it, while this has a more 4 on 4 dance music feel to it. I could dance to this at a club, I couldn't dance to smooth jazz. And did I mention there was no saxophone?

  • His voice reminds me of Steely Dan

  • @ericmsandoval

    The main bass line is def part of some Steely jam, can't put my finger on it though... Any thoughts?

  • @travman1984 This sounds a lot like some Donald Fagen stuff.

  • reminds me of one of reggie watts' songs haha

  • Sounds like it should be playing in a club Tony Montana walks into. Has that 80's Miami club vibe.

  • Is it me or the beat sounds like Face To Face by Daft Punk?

    If yes, it confirms that Thundercat like Daft Punk, and it's awesome.

  • @RoasterBlack lrn 2 logic

  • Comment removed

  • @199385369 NO U!!!!!!!1!1!

  • la la la la...

  • Epic.
