Snarky Puppy - Thing of Gold download

This is one of my all-time favourite tracks. So inspiring. That is such a beautiful melody on the Moog - really lyrical. Love the way they take the tune through several key changes.

For some reason the most impressive part of the song for me is at 4:05 when the horn parts seamlessly fade into the keyboard solo.

so this song is telling a story. a beautiful love story. from my perspective, guy is grooving. doing his own thing (Sax). then she walks in and his heart stops for a moment. then joy enters (keys and strings), then they're together and blissful and it's beautiful (trumpets jump in with others). then he realizes he doesn't want this to end (break down) and he has to figure how to propose and he's a nervous wreck trying to figure it out. mind and emotions all over as he's asking her to marry him (trumpet solo). then we're held in suspense as the refrain returns. Then it picks up as we realize the answer is yes. then the is the wedding celebration. He's dashing. She's beautiful. (keyboard solo) then they dance and party. then ride off into the sunset together to enjoy a life of bliss. at least that's the story I got from the song. but maybe i'm just hearing things...

if this doesnt bring tears to your eyes, listen again.

Any time I'm needing a lift I just come back to this and the Moog solo. Cryingly good. Love it.

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

"if you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends.."

Shaun Martin's line over that key change at 5:30 is honestly a better than drugs.

I unliked this, just so I could like it again. Perfect music

the percussion guy from japan is using my national musical instrumen, it's called the "angklung" and originated from West Java,Indonesia

Totally awesome, tears of joy streaming down my face at the amazing beauty of this piece, arms waving around playing imaginary everything, speakers so loud they're almost distorting!!! Thank god I'm alone or I'd look like a goose:-) For everyone's sake Snarky Puppy but especially mine, keep doing what you're doing.

If music on earth sounds like this just imagine what music heaven sounds like

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!

I've listened to this song hundreds upon hundreds of times. Shaun Martin never fails to bring joy to my face with that solo.

Watching this with my three year old daughter, when the song ended she went: I wanna make music too!

These guys talked about the writing of this song at a workshop they did near me a while back.  They said that the original groove for the chorus was a standard 4/4 beat with the snare on 2 and 4, and actually played it that way for us... crazy how something as simple as a snare on the downbeat can completely take a song from 'pretty good' to 'sweet, decadent ear candy.'

I was grinning ear to ear through 75% of this video. Real musicians

3:44 to the end is honestly one of the most beautiful grooves I have ever heard in my life.

this is pretty much the opposite of Isis
