Had to come back and rewatch this after hearing of Shaun’s passing. His solo on this song is what hooked me on this band from the jump. RIP

Shaun: this video and your work here were what roped me into Snarky Puppy. You touched my heart, you touched my life, you will always live on in the people you reached.
Thank you.

Rest in peace.

This is the first song I let my son hear of snarky puppy. He was 4 at the time and Shaun’s part in this song brought him so much happiness. so much so, it brought him to tears of joy. My son is 12 now, an incredible drummer and loves playing synthesizers. Snarky Puppy has been one of our favorite bands ever since we discovered this song years ago. The power of music is amazing. We were so saddened by the news of his passing but we want to Thank you Shaun for your gift and influence. Rest in Heaven sir. 🤍

[wallace]

RIP Shaun, just had to come here today and remind myself of the best solo ever recorded

[strandsofrope]

A gospel praise team is what brought me here. Absolutely fantastic!!

[Crz_YT]

Just knew today (like 15 mins ago) that Shaun has passed away and this song was mentioned by many although I knew him most for "The Yellow Jacket".

What a loss... 💔

[demya]

That solo is a thing of gold!! RIP Shaun Martin

[makgotladiontlou]

RIP to Shaun Martin, this jam is a Thing of Gold indeed

[EoMarcos]

my favorite song from Snarky Puppy and one of the best solos of Mr. Shaun Martin. Rest in peace, Shaun. 😭

I've seen this video a million times, but for some reason today, I started crying when I got to the end. I can't explain how or why music touches me the way it does, but I'm always incredibly moved by how musicians pour their souls into their craft. They give their all just to give us 6 minutes of auditory pleasure. It's incredible to me!

[benmelancon]

Shaun Martin’s music will live on forever. What a blessing this performance is

I swear these guys have a God-like understanding of music theory and composition.
