the fact that i didn’t know about them when they were alive is heartbreaking

[solowingpixi]

That dude’s rippin’ the bass like a god

[DaViD]

I like to be optimistic and think that these guys are still alive in an alternative universe and were able to make it. They deserved fame. There was no reason for the universe to take them away at such a young age

[Em-efcy]

I get a strange feeling when listening to this song, like an immense sense of happiness but equally an immense sense of grief for these guys. I can feel the music, deep inside of me. Like it actually touches my soul. Hope they’re resting easy.

[blakelindsay]

Rest In Peace. They left a tremendous mark on the music scene

[gersongtrz]

Sweet lord, I’m here only to discover they passed away... what a tremendous loss. Probably the best band I discovered in 2021

[crazydave]

This is such a full performance for two people and a drum loop

[kdp]

Life can be so bloody unfair. Rest in peace lads, and thank you for the music. You are loved.

[meechisminners]

It's so weird because they didn't seem to blow up the same way other passed artists have. Their death didn't turn them famous overnight. Everyone has seemed to learn about this really cool band only to find out what happened to them. Instead of one big response to tragedy in the case of a lil peep or a Juice WRLD, it's like every other day there's a new person discovering the same band and having the same immediate heartbreak for a band they only found out existed a few minutes ago, the exact same way that a lot of us did

[bridgetlouise]

this song has one of the greatest instrumentals of all time and you cannot tell me otherwise. I never ever get tired of this song.

[kovsak]

Honestly if I ever feel suicidal I listen to this and it makes me appreciate my life, they deserve to be here

[Lady_Emane]

Seeing them dance in this part breaks my heart 2:50
They're so pure

[johansd]

Discovering this band days after death is so heartbreaking.... it's like meeting a kid when you're on vacation and then they leave the next day...

[foam]

man, the bass dude is fucking WILD. jesus christ.

[josenaranjo]

It makes me sick to know that I’ll never get to hear what they were currently working on or what their future releases would be. RIP

[nickolasecker]

This is seriously one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.

[jenniferswartz]

I dont think I've ever seen two people so in sync while being so damn unique.. they had a chemistry with each other and their music that goes unrivaled...

[iona]

2:51 everytime I hear this bit I cry, idk why it just sounds like the ending credits to their lives

[scramator]

It's odd watching someone who's enjoying themselves perform and knowing that they have passed on.

[ginskimpivot]

One of the most perfectly measured and complimentary bass lines you'll ever hear.
