“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).
Lone Wolf and Cub
Thundercat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where will you go?
What will you do
All on your own?
Put up a fight
Heal from your wounds
Lone wolf and cub
On your own, on your own, on your own
Where will you go? Where'll you go? Where'll you go?
What will you do? What you do? What you do?
Wolf and cub, wolf and cub, wolf and cub
On your own, on your own, on your own
Where will you go? Where'll you go? Where'll you go?
What will you do? What you do? What you do?
Wolf and cub, wolf and cub, wolf and cub
On your own, on your own, on your own
Where will you go? Where'll you go? Where'll you go?
What will you do? What you do? What you do?
Wolf and cub, wolf and cub, wolf and cub
On your own, on your own, on your own
Where will you go? Where'll you go? Where'll you go?
What will you do? What you do? What you do?
The lyrics of "Lone Wolf and Cub" by Thundercat describe the journey of two characters, a wolf and a cub, who are alone and facing a challenging situation. The song starts with a series of questions directed towards these characters, asking them where they will go and what they will do without any help. The lyrics also emphasize the importance of fighting and healing from wounds in order to survive and move forward.
The repetition of the words "wolf and cub" and "on your own" throughout the song creates a sense of solitude and isolation. This feeling is reinforced by the soft and melancholic melody that accompanies the lyrics. The song ends with the same questions that were asked in the beginning, as if there is no clear answer or resolution to the situation.
Overall, "Lone Wolf and Cub" is a poignant reflection on the struggles of being alone in a difficult time, and the need for strength and resilience in order to overcome challenges.

As a loner who has absolutly no contact with his family AT ALL residing in a state totally different from them on his own, I claim this as my anthem. Thank you Thundercat for making this song for people like me

Talk to your family. It'll eat away at you. I have been on that path before. I'm still 1000 miles away but family is your heart. I hope this reaches you.
