Nujabes - Luv (sic.) pt3 Piano and Drums Cover

Hey sorry for the delay on this upload, this is a video from our performance at the Balcony Grill, where we played Luv (sic.) pt3 with Justin emceeing for Shing02's verse, and I just have to comment that that is amazing multi-tasking, but he really wanted to learn the verse and perform this song so we ended up borrowing a mic and trying it out. We only practiced for about a day for this song but I think it came out pretty good.

By the way, the gig was amazing and there were SO many people there who came out to support us and we really, really appreciate all of your support There were so many people that came out that the waitresses had to pull people off the floor to work the bar and they were complaining about how crowded it was lol, which I think is an awesome thing (though maybe not for them). We also overshot the amount we needed to become the house band so now we are playing on the first Saturday of every month, with November 6th being the next performance, thank you all again!

Also, big thanks to Erick Zuniga for editing and filming us

Here's the verse:

It's funny how the music put times in perspective
Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it
Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far
Wherever you are

Like a movie that you can't predict
Like a book that you can't resist
I sing along a song that's oh so sensual
bring along a sip to make it all so sexual
verbally that is, making love to the music means vibing to the beat at night
with the whole city fast asleep, out cold
true words seem to rise to the lips, take hold
of a poet in me, most powerfully
I feel free when the world doesn't owe it to me
It's so hard to find a gig that lives up to the billing,
trying to find a reason to work, god willing
I admit, my thinking is wishful
like a star upon a child gazing up to the ceiling
how far do we have to stretch the truth
to fit the lifestyles borrowed and overdue
we can take it all back to the register
and start all over from the canister
let's break it all down into pieces of bright
moments that pass by like a meteorite
throw on your favorite reel that's good to go
on the analog player watch the people glow
sit back to the breeze let the memories flow
comedy tragedy all the highs and lows

(chorus)

Like your moves that I can't predict
Like your look that I can't resist
The ting-a-ling feeling was oh so mutual
the lingering appeal was so unusual
herbally what is, medicine to a lone soul can become poison to some
with the whole body fast asleep, out cold
true vision seem to come to the eye, take hold
of a prophet in me most visibly
I see clear when the world doesn't show it to me
It's so hard to make sense in a cycle of billing,
trying to find a reason to quit and make a killing
I admit, our dealing is painful
like a star upon a child staring down from the ceiling
how far do we have to stretch the picture
before pixelating the human texture
we can take it all back to the register
and start all over from the canister
let's save it all up for an ultimate prize
homecoming gathering with a big surprise
throw on your favorite record that's good to go
on the analog table and it's hooked to blow
sit back with ease and hear the emcee flow
hi hat kick drum all the highs and lows
