[Melkhyn]

Cowboy bebop fan here!!

[MrBluewatson]

i love this song!!!! thank u 4 posting!

[Nilex1337]

i used to be as awesome as spike but then i took an arrow to the knee

[TeAngel87]

I tried opening that door but only you can try a little harder to open it cuz no one else will.....

[jdmejia2009]

are you living in the real world?

[jaymayhoi]

what type of music would you specifically call this? like i don't know if this is jazz but lets use jazz as an example, i know there's different types of jazz, such as smooth jazz and etc. Anyone know the specific genre for this, or close as possible anyways? It just that this is so awesome i want more!

[LordBrauner]

@jaymayhoi It's a blues ballad, my man.

[jaymayhoi]

@LordBrauner thanks! keep knocking ;)

[LordBrauner]

@jaymayhoi Likewise, sir!

[mogofraligato]

@LordBrauner actually I believe it's called awesome sauce, but i can see how you would get mixed up :D

[tat00ine]

@jaymayhoi First of all, there is no such thing as smooth jazz, its not jazz, it's...pop faux jazz, kinda like tofurky. Types of jazz include bebop, hard bop, fusion (jazz mixed with rock), etc... This would probably be considered more gospel/soul, primarily due to the use of a gospel chord progression, based on the blues progression. Not exactly jazz, but very similar, often crossing boundaries (listen to some Mingus and you will see how close they are). 

[VanguardZen]

This video's been up since 2007 and it still JUST has 100k+ views while Rebecca Black has more than a million? What is wrong with music these days?

[Javierm0n0]

first time i heard this song i almost cried. It rings so true.

[adertunyr]

я люблю смотреть это анимэ попивая бутылку водки закусывая красной икрой это самое лучшее аниме которое я видел!

[Bepo2000]

Story of my life an im 27 ;)

[ramir3sxd]

esse anime e um dos 3 melhores que eu ja vi, se nao o primeiro,e incrivel,so isso a dise

[gredrable]

@BloodyPierce love the way you didnt keep on puting the same lyric down near the end.

[boethiah12]

the song of my life. i love it.

[peyloh123]

Five people didn't knock hard enough.

[SirVladDracula]

One out of 135.6 people didn't like this video.

I think that's a pretty good turnout for the books.

[LuckySevenSamson]

That guitar tore it in HALF.

Amen. Just, amen.

[TheBlindItem]

at 1:31 i suddenly got goosebumps 'cause i have finally found the song i was looking for for over a year! gosh i just can't explain what im feeling right now! i know it's just a song for others but to me it isn't! it's inspiration!

oh yeah and you guys were saying a lot that the cowboy bebop series and movie were really awesome so im gonna try to watch them too! :D

thanks SO much for posting this! xoxo

[gmren14]

@TheBlindItem Likewise mate. I felt the same when I saw the movie (first time I've ever watched Cowboy Bebop) and searched for the soundtrack. The songs, the characters, the story, Spike Spiegel's personality that reminded me of mine definitely had an impact on me to see the series. I highly recommend it.

[Murkrig]

@TheBlindItem Me too i was looking for this song like you, and somebody find this song for me, i can die in peace :)

[Xagzan]

@TheBlindItem If you hadn't seen the show, where did you first hear this song?

[TheBlindItem]

@Xagzan On the Soundtrack Channel :D but i wasnt able to catch the title of the song because the font was too small, but i knew it was from this anime

[GrimmTheReaper]

Seriously that movie was amazing!

just gotta find the actual series itself now >.<

Awesome song though!

[commaqwat]

music is my anti-depressant

[SirVladDracula]

@commaqwat Amen to that.

[BobThePatriot]

where can I download this?

[Aliquantisper]

@BobThePatriot Try heaven.

[MrCheckersmcgee]

@BobThePatriot 4shared.com

[GodComplexX]

I am going to dance to this in the rain.

[05ltonkinm]

I can't find a bass tab for this :(

[tat00ine]

@05ltonkinm That's because this is jazz/blues/gospel. The bass is just walking through the the chord changes, all inprov.

[Aliquantisper]

I want to see Cowboy Bebop for a second time.

[BobThePatriot]

@Aliquantisper Its on netflix

[hiphoplivesthrume]

@Aliquantisper animeultima. tv has it there. ive watched it through maybe 4 or 5 times now

[dewi981]

@Kamilion87 The intro has the same rythum as Knocking on heavens door slowed down

[vladickification]

It is GODDAMN AWESOME. I just can't stop listening

[Pllowery40]

Most people never realize they are in the fire or going into the fire and other poor souls like me realize it and there's nothing that can be done

[MelonchonyMel]

Are you living in the real world ?

[ramosneftali]

This is my favorite song of the whole series. :-)

[JckJessica]

~Must go watch Cowboy Bebop over again now~

[Tekwerk]

The quintessential anime. Everyone knows it, and everyone loves it. And if they don't something is fundamentally wrong with them.

[TeQuiiLaSHoTZz]

@Tekwerk I have no idea what is being talked about. I was watching a SC2 stream and a gamer was playing this tune which I really liked. Now to investigate what you guys are all talking about

[balidr]

@TeQuiiLaSHoTZz

its a OST.... Cowboy Bebop... best anime whit the most avesom song ever

[samewish]

I 'm into the fire

[sonicspeedx13]

as Spike had said about how he fights. it flows :P this show just knows how to flow along perfectly with everything around it.

[przyklad12]

Przepiękna Nuta :)

Film Również :-)

[Momentum139]

Gotta knock a little harder...

Gotta knock a little harder...

Break doooown... the dooooooooorrrrrrr....

[demonslife]

[pahlawan00]

@demonslife dude, the singer is a chick!!!

[demonslife]

@pahlawan00 lol well sorry lol i didnt sleep for 3 days when i wrote that lol i am surprised i didnt just type nonsense instead of actual words

[hammerfacejr]

Without fail this song has the power to turn a bad day into a good one. Every time.

[Hellghast1109]

@dchris1990

At the end of the movie

[dchris1990]

Wonderful song--love the message

[skoty9999n]

[snackpeelskin]

[snackpeelskin]

Thank you sir.

[ellis900]

[camhadqr666]

@EverlastingRain55 thank you :)

[BluePIanet]

I'm knocking on heavens doors and heavens knocking back

[Zombifaction]

[AwesomeHaHaAnime]

@Zombifaction dude, i plan to list down a bunch of my favorite songs when i die as well LOL. respect man. respect.

[jluzin]

@Zombifaction Right there with you, man.

[Enormymous]

@Zombifaction i keel you my friend!!

[LiraelRyelle]

This song is amazing, as is Cowboy Bebop <3 Best Anime ever

[KaldeaX]

This is and probably always will be my favorite series. It still gets me right there.

[jbee125]

This song is spiritually epic.

[nAtespOOny]

Best song in CB, better than Call me, Call me or blue

[soldierinthesand]

this is a great song!

[Mrlutsfer]

If you want the creator, the creator of all of this beautiful simply beautiful music that I listen to on a daily basis (for my birthday on August 15th I'm gonna have a door tattooed on my back) you want to look at anything by Yakko Kanno or the band she performed with, The Seatbelts. I would go straight to the composer though. I would go straight to Yakko Kanno.

[MrShinsengumi09]

Dude, this is a great song lol

[qu3ter]

Cowboy Bebop is without thought the very essence of what anime is capable of.

I can honestly say that this series made me laugh, made me cry, made me contemplate, made me dream and keept me on the edge of my seat more than any series or movie that I've seen over the course of 20 years, animated or otherwise.

Maybe with a few exceptions and Lost or Avatar are not among them.

This show had a little bit of everything and you can see how much soul the producers put into it.

[SadGoUnlucky]

@qu3ter James Cameron's Avatar or the cartoon Avatar?

[jopax666]

@qu3ter

I got the same from both Bebop and Firefly, both shows had that "something" that made them truly unique and special.Something that instantly hooks you and keeps you watching on no matter what.I wish they made shows like that today

[BluePIanet]

@qu3ter "This show had a little bit of everything and you can see how much soul the producers put into it."

Literally :)

[Stiglitz51]

@qu3ter Well said man. Nothing compares to it it's definetely by far the best series I've ever seen becuase it just offered so much to the viewers. I'm glad it ended on 26 episodes because it had a solid story and characters you could really feel emotion towards and if they continued it then it'd just become overused and turn crap.

[albatrosses]

@qu3ter You didn't watch Lost did you?

[TheOnlyCloud]

@albatrosses

He said that Lost and Avatar are not among the ones he was talking about, lol. I can agree with that, shows these days don't really hold a candle to the influence a good anime can have on a person's psyche. Animes have only two things to go on, and that's plot and dialog. Modern shows have to balance in actors, location, ect. and in balancing, lose a lot of what makes a show so damn good.

[gyrrakavian]

@qu3ter Damn skippy!!!

[Vacerous]

@qu3ter the movie was truly a testament to the animators and storyboard imop

[armydude102]

@qu3ter I agree, except for the Avatar part. The production team spent an entire weekend watching the entire series, so they know what they're doing.

[qu3ter]

@armydude102 I mean't avatar the movie, made by Cameron.

[armydude102]

@qu3ter Oh okay.

[NessDark]

@armydude102 Knowing you're talking about The Last Airbender... in the end they didn't.

[armydude102]

@NessDark He was talking about the Cameron movie.

[NessDark]

@armydude102 Mr. qu3ter did, but you were talking bout Last Airbender ("watching the entire series"), amirite?

[armydude102]

@NessDark I was talking about Avatar (TV), the production team of that series watched the entire Cowboy Bebop series in one weekend. He was talking about Avatar (Film).

[NessDark]

@armydude102 k, so we are at the same page.

[kaikou1098]

@qu3ter It pains me to see how anime has devolved after this "golden age" of anime as I like to refer to it.

I'd say it's just my age playing tricks on me, but somewhere along the line the generic sex appeal harem genre that focuses on merciless merchandising gained traction and just took off, destroying most of my respect for something I once loved.

It's series like Cowboy Bebop that help me cope with what anime has become today.

[qu3ter]

@kaikou1098 You took the words right out of my mouth, It really saddens me that todays generation degrades itself by watching that overly sexualized crap and actually have the guts to call it anime. I've honestly grown to despise the word harem, even though I'm a guy and don't even get me started on fan fictions, if you are familiar with that. I really wonder what great anime directors like Shinichiro Watanabe, Katsuhiro Otomo and Mamoru Oshii have to say about the state of today's anime.

[vandel90210]

Some people think this songs called Knocken on Heaven's Door and i'm like you obviously never read the credits at the end of the movie.

[super88cloud]

@vandel90210 :shhh, i was searching for this song with this title right about now even though i have it on my ipod XD

[vandel90210]

@super88cloud ok . .. ill shh

[Kysen100]

Shit this song is deep.

[DocFrogger]

Are you living in the real world?

[ajkrunch94]

@DocFrogger MOVIE QUOTE!!!!!!!!!!

[donteffwitme]

fake

[MrCheckersmcgee]

@donteffwitme whats fake?

[Namemytoon]

makes me think of the walls i have put up around myself to keep me from getting emotionally hurt.

[Badjokemaker]

@Namemytoon Uhhh...thats sad

[ShikabamDesertWolf]

:) See ya Space Cowboy...

[Mrlutsfer]

Carry the weight...feel the soul

[Mrlutsfer]

I think this is one of the most powerful and soulful songs I have ever heard. Cowboy Bebop was good because of the story AND the music.

[Auquis]

you're gonna carry that weight...

[yellowtaiwanman]

This is a soulful piece of work. The lyric's transcending; set's shredding, bass's funky, choir's soulful, and Yamane's rocking.

I would love this song even without watchiung Bebop. Just have to listen to the bass line in the from the second verse on. What an amazing bassline that funk this song to the end. Love it. And saying love it ain't enough.

[Kelfyrn]

wow it almost seems like it could be gospel music

[heidilovezyouu13]

i just want more cowboy bebop. i dont care if its live action or not!!!!!!

[Kelfyrn]

@heidilovezyouu13 it would be better if it wasnt, cause they cant do all that they can in anime if it was in live action

[tifa2030]

@heidilovezyouu13 yeaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! but we have to considerate that the movie can sucks too, x_x but i hope with all my soul that not

[ENTERTHEWEBBOFKALEB]

ok can some one tell me who sings this song, i have this feeling its kd lang.

[JuggaloNuggs]

I'd like to see an oav of after the series. I want to know for sure Spike is dead. :p

[ENTERTHEWEBBOFKALEB]

no he isnt actually the maker of the series said in a interview that he wasnt dead after all. hmm

[hellraiza81]

LOL caved in to the fans demands. Everybody sad because spike died. So he went back and said oh well spike never died. But in the series, the indian psychic predicted that spike would die, that his star would fall. I wonder how he'll explain that.

[ENTERTHEWEBBOFKALEB]

lol that is true, yea i actually would prefer the story if he had died. i think it just fits better!

[merritttheferret]

I would cast Brad Pitt as Spike.

This is pretty much the best song ever.

[SirVladDracula]

The live-action movie'll blow. X.x; You can't capture the same soul of Cowboy Bebop with real characters...

The Cowboy Bebop movie was kick-ass though. xP I'm glad it was based between the episodes, otherwise Fay'd be off soul-searching, Eddy would have walked off and Ein'd have followed. D: Wouldn't be the same without the full gang.

[in1pieces]

@tzouvani1 SAMURAI CHAMPLOO?

[stphtn12]

My favorite episode is Sympathy for the devil. The movie was the bomb!

[Sicckmaster]

Cowboy Bebop is the KING of Anime to me because it reflects a lot of realism in a lot of non-realistic elements and it has had so much impact on entertainment that even non-anime fans, unlike myself, like it. Bebop is a complete breakthrough and for as many anime there are, I don't really think there is or will ever be another one quite like it.

[ShadyOne21]

best song ever

[AstralMelody]

I agree with ceberuskid, this song kind of makes you feel like your on Mars. And I also agree with IzzaBunny, I totally wouldn't mind if this song was played on my funeral. Cowboy Bebop is a very unique, emotional and powerful anime, COWBOY BEBOP FOR LIFE!!!!

[Drumroll418]

@AstralMelody I like this song a lot, but the funeral song from Bebop, if you were to have one played is DEFINITELY "Blue."

[knoxvilleguy2]

@Drumroll418

Gotta Knock A Little Harder is bluesy but uplifting, " Blue " - I agree with you about having it as a funeral song.Or maybe " In the Rain ". W / Yoko Kanno & Mai Yamane, there are too many choices to pick just one.

[super88cloud]

@knoxvilleguy2 i dont think is uplifting at all,we never know if he/she did open the door,we just know he/she tried

[knoxvilleguy2]

@super88cloud What about ( In the ) " Rain " & " Green bird " ?

[super88cloud]

@knoxvilleguy2 :well those are pretty sad,but this one is still pretty heavy,maybe even sadder

[knoxvilleguy2]

@super88cloud - Soulful. CB is to anime what MacBeth or " A Tale of Two Cities " is to most of contemporary culture.

Maybe I exaggerate, maybe not.

[super88cloud]

@knoxvilleguy2 i think you are misundertstanding me,im talking about the song that it is heavy,that is not uplifting at all,not about the anime,and i dont think it is macbeth to anime,because its influence has been clearly rejected,sadly,,thats why you see so much moe and "handsome" stick man, if animes were more like bebop,the way they treat theire characters i would definetely see more anime,but i dont,thhough if bebop is one thing,its Great

[knoxvilleguy2]

@super88cloud - OK, I got it now, & maybe comparing it to MacBeth was a LITTLE over the top. Maybe Les Miserables ?

[super88cloud]

@knoxvilleguy2 :well not exactly,bebop is great but it is underrated, dont know if theres a popular great book like that,but if it was a film itd be like Leon

[knoxvilleguy2]

@super88cloud - It may be a better thing to compare it to Kurosawa's " Seven Samurai " / W / is what the movie " The Magnificent Seven " was based on.

[super88cloud]

@knoxvilleguy2 well,yeah it is

[Ellizion]

I love Mai Yamane so much *_* she has so amazing voice...

[romagen]

masterpiece

[TwinUzis]

Cowboy Bebop was pretty much the only anime I could stomach. Too bad it had so few episodes.

[in1pieces]

The thing i like is there every episode depicts a certain feeling. The directer based it on an event or flim. And the ending... It just makes u think how pathetic mordern humans are now, only thinking about money and stuffs, they shown u love and adventure ~_~ Love cowboy bebop! :D

[omfgthinkofaname]

right on my friend, right on!!

[punkwasher]

This anime probably has the most soul of all anime.

[nightcrusher90]

@punkwasher

cried a tear @ the end of the anime! But only one star is faling down.....

[DRAGON244818]

@punkwasher did you see the movie was it good the anime was fuc*** good

[punkwasher]

@DRAGON244818 Saw it all. It's all really good.

[wakkanda]

@punkwasher define ''soul''

[whateverni]

@wakkanda If you have to ask you'll never know.

[wakkanda]

@whateverni what a shit thing to say it means you dont know it either or you would give me a resonable answer

[VerdantDog]

@wakkanda you know whateverni is right. Soul is a feeling, its more than just emotion. Its deep, its powerful, its moving, and if you don't get it its really impossible for anyone to explain.

[SirVladDracula]

@VerdantDog Some people are incapable of feeling it; soul.

Some people just lack a soul to start with. These are the kind of people who fill their lives with material goods, desperately trying to fill the void where their soul should be; but no matter how much they throw into their lives, they can never fill the crevice where their soul should be.

I'm just thankful I actually possess the soul so many people these days lack...

Get the pop-music off the airwaves - fill the radios with this!

[xxjpatxx]

@SirVladDracula

I think you're looking into this too much.

[SirVladDracula]

@xxjpatxx Its youtube, not the G-13 meeting. :S I can look into something too much if I like. XD

Heck, I ain't the only one doing it ;)

;D Chillax with all the hatin'. Find a nice hobby or something. There's more things to life than trolling youtube.

*troll troll*

[xxjpatxx]

@SirVladDracula

I'm not hating. I didn't insult u at all. Sorry if u were offended, I just thought ur comment was a little... heavy, I guess is a good word for it.

[SirVladDracula]

@xxjpatxx Maybe, Maybe.

=P And nah, don't sweat it.

;) Maybe I'll watch what I type next time? XD

[soldierinthesand]

@punkwasher you are so right! I record Cowboy Bebop every saturday night and it's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Noddist88]

@punkwasher So true...

[Noddist88]

@punkwasher So true...
