“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).
Seasons
Thundercat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the love is just the same
Each time you go away
But the love won't let me stay
Each time you go away
But the love won't hurt today
Seasons blow away
But the love still hurts the same
But the love is just the same
Each time you go away
But the love won't let me stay
Each time you go away
But the love won't hurt today
Seasons blow away
But the love still hurts the same
Seasons blow away
But the love is just the same
Each time you go away
But the love won't let me stay
