Kishi Bashi - Can't Let Go, Juno Lyrics

That into drum fill at 0:15 may be my favorite fill of all time

This song and those lyrics hit hard and personal. Beautiful and sad.

This is one of those songs that after you hear it for the first time, you feel like your life changed.... Amazing song, guys! One of the best songs EVER!

oh God how I love this song!

Well it's a new day
Another full of heartbreak
And every time I check in on myself
I'm drinking my soul away

And every time my phone lights up
My heart keeps skipping enough to give up
You know the better days still remain
Can I be insane forever?
Who knew, my ingenue
That we could never be together
Unless we do a deed we can't undo?
And even if you sing that song
We could be right, or we could be so wrong
Feed the dream, does it seem that we're pushing at the sun?

And if you loved her, would you fake it?
And every letter, would you burn it?
Cause every time I hear the way she said it
I can't let go, I can't let go

I say
If I could make you fade away
I could play the game I know so well
It's a fair trade

Many of the things I said
Are made from the beautiful things I regret
From the words we made, I feel the pain
Can I know if it's worth it, never?

I knew, there's an avenue
Everybody leaves a piece of their heart on the street for us all to view
And even if I feel alone
I know I'm just a man of flesh and bone
Feed the dream, does it seem that we're staring at the sun?

And if you loved her, would you fake it?
And every letter, would you burn it?
Cause every time I hear the way she said it
I can't let go

And if you loved her, would you fake it?
And every letter, would you burn it?
Cause every time I hear the way she said it
I can't let go

MUSIC FOR THE SOUL!!!!

Kishi Bashi is the new [insert musical genius that changed the industry forever] 10x

🤯🤯🤯

Is the art an abstract form of a nuclear mushroom cloud?

That's one way of seeing it. I see a dandelion in the desert. That's the great thing about art I guess.

Something about this song is very therapeutic and meditative. When my anxiety is really getting to me, I like to put on some headphones and focus on the baseline. Very soothing :')

Stunning.

Amazing. That's all. Amazing.

Love it , even when I wanted to kill stuck in traffic jams this wee tune stop me sinning

Nothing but good vibes.

how do I like this two times!?

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Mozart in the jungle introduce me to KIshi Bashi and now I can't help falling in love with his music

Don't no how I ended up here, but I'm glad I did!! That first minute Fckn Awesum!! Played it like 7x

Man, your music is amazing!

Meaningless trivia: "kişi başı" (pronounced more or less like the artist) means "per person" in Turkish.

wastagwaga his name is Kaoru Ishibashi. K. Ishibashi

Carry on by Rainbow Rowell

Love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who else is here from Lovesick on netflix?

I like to sometimes listen to this song when I time travel. Or when I am stepping into an alternate dimension.

LOVESICK

What is this genre of music called ???

indie/alternative pop

Darude sandstorm

the tiniest dance party

Alex flight of the Conchords lol?

wow. very wow. Man that's a complete sound for this era of time

i dont normally fuck with music like this but this is really good

I just listened to the first 10 seconds and was in love.

I just found out this and I'm in love.

that's it. I'm addicted to this song.

i like listening to the first 40 seconds like 100 times a day

This is GOLDEN!!!

Starbucks brought me here!

godzGHAZI Same!😁👽☕

Ushering in the new year with some beautiful tuneage. Let's make 2017 amazing! Can you dig it

also found this via NPR. incredible lyrics, haunting melody. very nice! followed.

This is the BEST EFFING SONG! Thank you Mr. Ishibashi, you Rock Bro ;)

Please keep making amazing songs like this!

As other major Canadian artist get short shrift and recognition. Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, Arcade Fire and basically every major Canadian artist gets labelled and cherished as an American Treasure, are you Canadian Mr. Ishibashi? It's fair to ask!

If you aren't, you should be ;)

I ask because you were part of the band Of Montreal, and I heard you on Lori Brown's CBC Show.

Awesome man, Rock On!

What a fantastic song

The more I listen to this, the more I realize it is pure genius. I am captivated by the infectious thread of groove and emotion. The pair are beyond awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Just beautiful

It is true that the intro sounds familiar, The Fourth Phase family brought me here! At 3:18 I went nuts

I'm here from Fourth Phase.

Same here bro

This song is a piece of art.... good stuff.

love the visual

One of my favorite songs!! Amazing AF..

420th like... ^.^

Ole P ViBE Music 920th lol

Der Wechsel von 4/4tel auf 6/8tel is so genial!

"Many of the things I said
Are made from the beautiful things I regret
From the words we made, I feel the pain
Can I know if it's worth it, never ?"

I knew, this avenue
Where everybody has a piece of their heart on the street for us all to view

And even if feel alone
You know I'm just a man of flesh and bone

I was introduced to this by NPR's Morning Edition.

Will someone tell me what happened to Jupiter One, It has been my favorite band since I was like 15 and no one can seem to explain to me what happened. This music is the best though. KEEP IT UP MAN!

Going to see him play at the GA Theater tomorrow night! It'll be the third time I've seen him play. Feel so moved and alive every time. I'm so excited!

Ahhh I love the new album so much! I'm so excited to see him in Santa Cruz next month!

Can't wait to go to the show next month~

Fucking love the synth on this track. So good.

it's like a melody that you've known your whole life, but never heard until now.

Eric yessss

that's how i feel with all of his music~

Great comment. Almost like it connects you to a soulmate, someone you've been with since the beginning... the rest of eternity.

Logic did a track called 1-800-273-8255

YES! Nailed it Eric

LOVED IT! Reminds me of Stranger Things Intro, I don't know why. Greetings from México.

those synths man

Just saw him last night. They came on stage to the Stranger Things intro. It was epic!

i teared up a little and got goosebumps all in the 1st min.

kickliquid It's very inspiring

accurate tho

6 days is 6 days too long dammit.

Love this song kishi! Can't wait to meet and see you live at union transfer next month!

Why do I get the strong feeling that this intro is very familiar?

Weird thing is at the concert the other night at Webster Hall, when Kishi Bashi and the band he sometimes plays with came out onto the stage, the lights went red and the smoke came forth in waves.
And then the entire Stranger Things theme played.

Thing is I've never watched stranger things and it sounds familiar

Familiarity is the first sign of a song's genius. ;)

Doesn't sound much like Stranger Things to me, but it does remind me of a couple Kubbi songs

@L0LJKFilms dumbest comment ever

feel alien 👌👽

Szczepan Podlewski 👽👽👽

✨🛸👽🛸 ✨

so damn good, thanks for existing Kishi, you the best

Very relaxing song, awesome :3

Can't wait for this album/tour!
