DJ Shadow - I've Been Trying

[YOsaawordup]

always some good stuff...

[MrChickenbizkit]

thumbs up if u stopped tryin!-_-

[MrGansterlord02]

scheiße

[deloreanized]

The first time I heard this song... it really reminded me to Emil Amos and his amazing body of work in HOLY SONS, his solo project. I'd say more: the chords, the structure of the song, even the arrangements fingerpointed to "I'm surrounded", from the album "Criminal's return".

Actually, you can trade the lead voices and they fit like a glove.

[5burowz]

The guitar riff sounds like some chords from Neil Young's 'Down by the River'. I wonder how Neil would feel about that? lol

[fitz303]

Its a nice song for sure, but as petergalbraith128 mentioned, check out Incubus - Drive and realise the, ahem inspiration for this song.

[EeroJames]

@ThaPacsta Umm, you are musically ignorant, that is based on what you said. Ok I am narrow mind. Lol I am not going to call you names even other then say you are a stupid motherfucker, of course, good day sir, enjoy making 0 sense and being immature/stupid/musically ignorant and a narrow minded bitch.

Again... good day sir.

[ThaMuthaphukkin]

@EeroJames hehehe your idiocy makes me laugh moron you cannot set people ignorant due to their theses on this song.

lately, i'll tell you healing sentence: get a professional help!

[EeroJames]

@ThaMuthaphukkin Musically ignorant* sigh... your probably the same retard. Now then I can call you stupid based on your comment but I won't, good day dip shit. Doh!

[OnlyTheTyrant]

@EeroJames "Musically ignorant". Thats such a snobbish phrase, boy. These bullshit comments ruin the music. I wish I hadn't read them because now I feel the duty to tell you to shut the fuck up and go insult someone in person. Doh!

[EeroJames]

@ThaPacsta Right I am the ignorant faggot that is assuming things based on nothing.

Lol...

[petergalbraith128]

Incubus - Drive

[EeroJames]

@ThaPacsta Man, how I hate musicaly ignorant people that think if it doesn't sound the way they think it should it is crap. To put things politely, take your head out of your ass and experience new things.

[skillastyla]

if there is perfect music, dj shadow is not far away...

[kelseyblood]

I've been trying to get you to love me

[vBlogmiscarrage]

Dj shadow is genuis, one of my largest insperations.

[TheApproximite]

the song reminds me of "wish you were here" when the acoustic is strumming.god i love dj shadow.

[elsupreme1]

Its definetly not a pink floyd song

[crayyawn]

paid money for this track :) nowadays that says something

[abigasm]

this is a fucking beautiful piece of music

[macara]

I'm loving it more than a burguer

[Papaconstantopoulos]

Mmmh now this is more like it. I hope his new album is more like this and less like Def Surrounds Us.

[Sobaopasiego]

can you post the lyrics of I've been tryin' please?

[gadcock11]

love that squidgy synth

[themover2017pcp]

BELLISSIMA!

[letragique909]

This son its dedicated to Fernanda...........I dont know what you've done to me.....but I think like It.

[frugward86]

this is great apart from that horrible hello kitten sample

[topiltzinitli]

2 guys have been trying, but they couldn't

[Zaaphod]

Wow, first Pink Floyd remix that is actually good. Thanks for not screwing my favourite song.

[Zaaphod]

@MissShadow871 Wish you were here....

[MissShadow871]

@Zaaphod thanx ;]

[MissShadow871]

@Zaaphod wich song of pf it is?

[TheKipKadillac]

I love when a favorite artist of mine comes out with new music and it blows my mind just like when I first heard their music. I wish their was an Ebert & Roeper 2 thumbs up button.

[RancidMilkMan]

I've listened to this song nonstop on a loop and I can't seem to wear it out. This is indeed classic Dj Shadow. I'm glad he's back doing what he does best. His genius purely shows from this work. Just be yourself and your genius will shine

[CharlieSweden]

All samples?

[threadpusher]

classic 

[Snaporaz100]

CLASSIC SHADOW!!

[juck]

Back to creating new music and off the "new rap" stylee like last lp.His last lp blew. This is very good.

[crayyawn]

this is cool man.. not the biggest fan of def surrounds us. i respect him doing something original and creative and it sounds like he really put his heart into it so i'm cool with whatever he does and that song despite it not being my style. this right here i'm feeling though

[jeianafa12547dj]

Damn Shadow crushed it with these two, I'm happy to see him still with such magic and the stuff only the true music fans can love. The stuff is class

[highroller2007]

yeah this is def more of the shadow i remember. reminds me of the last part of the diminishing returns record with all the throwback psychedelic jams

[CharlieSweden]

@highroller2007 Diminishing Returns is a briliant fucking record!

[alfredvanwessex]

[p4245173]

@mixmasternut you're joking. other way around

[nico623]

Sounds like a "How I Wish you Were Here" Rip off

[jeianafa12547dj]

@nico623 So then any DJ that samples songs is rippin off other artist...even if they allow it? Okay...

[mixmasternut]

Whelp, it's better than "Def Sorrounds Us". That song sucks

[iamfrantv]

@mixmasternut i agre

[MissShadow871]

@mixmasternut def surrounds us is great track like every track i heard from his new album !!!!!

[tfisher420]
