This is a part of Fahim Rahman's 'Revisited' series, re-envisioning a more post apocalyptic interpretation of the original 'Roosevelt Island.' It asks who will remember us when things are all done, and who wanted us to experience it all in the first place. This is an analogy connecting a parallel between climate change and our dwindling careers as musicians.
lyrics
Flawless
Glad I love my baby
...
Well if this is it, who will remember the greatest?
And if this is it, are you good with the silence? The quiet?
And who wanted you?
Said a crow staring from the other side
The other side
The other side
The other side
Peace the world that made me
Watch me ride

saw Thundercat for the first time recently - truly a GOAT of live performers. this album is him in his most honest, focused, and emotional state, and it beautifully intertwines his silly artistic voice with his stories of struggle and loss. the album is short and sweet - BUT, if you want to see him and his friends jam a little longer on these ideas, definitely see him live. the dude literally practices like Coltrane and it shows. zilla
