I first listened to this song in 2007, when it was used on KZread as the background music to a video where some guy explored cell phone stores in Japan. Since then, I've had this song on my rotation and it's one of the few absolute continuities in my life. I was of course devastated when it happened but I still consider myself lucky to have been at the Nujabes Memorial Event in 2015 (Shibuya Liquidroom), where this song was performed live by Cise Starr. Seriously one of the greatest moments of my life.

Rest in peace Nujabes, your music really did change the world and turned it into a better place! Feathers is a masterpiece that has helped me countless times when I was sad, so I can't thank it enough... (Amazing work from Cise Starr and Akin too :D)

LYRICS: Light as a feather when I'm floatin' through Readin' through the daily news Measuring the hurt within the golden rule Centimetres of ether I'm heatin' the speaker Motivational teacher with words that burn people Seeing the headlines lined with discord It's either genocide, all the planet in uproar Never good but rules of paradise are never nice The best laid plan of mice and men are never right I'm just a vagabond with flowers for Algernon The average Joe who knows what the fuck is goin' on It's the hope of my thoughts that I travelled upon Fly like an arrow of god until I'm gone So I'm driftin' away like a feather in air Lettin' my words take me away from the hurt and despair So I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator Ridin' the escalator to the somethin' that is greater So I'm driftin' away like a feather in air Lettin' my words take me away from the hurt and despair So I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator Ridin' the escalator to the somethin' that is greater Taking chances, word tap dancing with wolves In an ice arena out there, deep in the woods of Arizona The sun be high, life's ironic Ain't tryin' to be Talib when I write Surreal life I paint it vivid habitat crazy insane Watch the propaganda six o'clock news that are saying Cultures clash for black folk and white trash They revel in the cyberspace that might crash Dash to millineum a million miles of runnin' At the speed of now back don't return gunnin' Rambo style gunho child gunnin' Ammo blao two times loud stunnin' Stunnin' when I hit ya lift you off the earth like Ayo, take you right back to birth And niggaz wonder why they might wonder why This shit might happen but it does, they go Driftin' away like a feather in air Lettin' my words take me away from the hurt and despair So I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator Ridin' the escalator to the somethin' that is greater So I'm driftin' away like a feather in air Lettin' my words take me away from the hurt and despair So I'm keepin' it vertical forever elevator Ridin' the escalator to the somethin' that is greater Treat you better than me because that's the heavenly key To unlock the inner strength where my essence will be It's the knowledge of self understanding of the things around me That becomes the wisdom that I need Living this life to the best of my ability Channelling energy to my thoughts into your symmetry Remember me, because my prose remain gold I got the gift of gab like them pimps in Kangols It never ends I keep it rulin' like a cypher The first caveman bringin' fire Innovating and higher to blast mistakes I raise the stakes It's double or nothing in this vacuumless space I will survive, divine the time to cry Fuck a hold or hide I'm alive with pride And I drove the Chevy to the levy But the levy was dry singin', "This will be the day that I die"

Correction: "Remember me, because my prose remain gold" from: "Remember me, because my clothes remain gold" Prose is a word that means basically "writing style", when used colloquially. The formal usage means "Written as spoken."

Probably my favorite track from Nujabes. Cise Star flows perfectly over the beat, and it ends just as smoothly as it begins. Beautiful.
