“I do believe that hip-hop can be the new jazz, and I’m helping create that”, Bruner said in an interview to Bass Player, in 2008.
He is part of the new generation of jazz literate, hip-hop loving instrumentalists who can play beyond traditional limits - a mutant jazz cat - and that’s how 'Thundercat' (a monicker he chose), suits him well (even if it’s purely the result of an unhealthy cartoon addiction dating back to childhood).
Evangelion
Thundercat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Open your ears and your mind
Just take the time to
Look a bit deeper
You'd be surprised what you find inside
We're only human
That makes it simple
But all our lines are complex
It's fine
Can you read my mind
Or can you read my heart
Cause they are one in the same
Your good intentions are paved with
Heaven and earth are one in the same
Thundercat's song Evangelion speaks about the superficiality of the way we listen to things around us. It urges us to open our ears and minds and take the time to look deeper within ourselves and others. As humans, we are complex beings who may appear to be simple, but in reality, we are complex in many ways. The song speaks about how everything is interconnected, and our good intentions pave the way to create heaven on earth.
The song's lyrics are an eye-opener for people who may take things on the surface without going into the deeper aspects. The lyrics are metaphoric, and it encourages people to look deeper into their lives and relationships to create a better world. It also touches on the oneness of the universe and creation of heaven on earth by following our good intentions.

It’s superficial
The way that you listen
Open your ears
And your mind
Just take the time to
Look at it deeper
You’d be surprised what you find
Inside
We’re only human
That makes it simple
But all our lives are complex
And it’s fine
It’s fine
Can you read my mind
Or can you read my heart
Cause they’re not one in the same
Your good intentions
They would’ve been beaten
But Heaven and Earth are all one
In the same
