Song

You know Furious 7, right? The street-racing movie was released last April. I haven't watched it yet, though I like street-racing movies, but I know the official soundtrack. The official soundtrack is so popular and it seems like everyone listens to it. Right now, I want to talk about it. The song title is "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth.

The song is generally about friendship. There are several main casts in Fast & Furious series and the two of them are Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) and Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel). They are close friends in the series. But, in November 2013, Paul Walker passed away in a car accident. At that time, they were in the middle of filming the series' seventh installment. It caused a great impact, especially for Fast & Furious' fans. The movie was still released though, as you know, but it was actually postponed and the director had to change the ending of the film. So, Furious 7 is like a dedication to Paul Walker, so are "See You Again" and the music video.

The sadness is clearly portrayed in the song. Here's the lyrics.

[Charlie Puth:]

It's been a long day without you, my friend

And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

We've come a long way from where we began

Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

When I see you again

(Hey)

"My friend" in the first line is referred to Paul Walker.

[Wiz Khalifa:]

Damn, who knew?

All the planes we flew

Good things we've been through

That I'll be standing right here talking to you

'Bout another path

I know we loved to hit the road and laugh

But something told me that it wouldn't last

Had to switch up

Look at things different, see the bigger picture

Those were the days

Hard work forever pays

Now I see you win the better place (see you win the better place)

It's like they are reminiscing about the old days when Paul Walker was still with them. They knew everything wouldn't last, but they didn't expect that Paul would've gone this fast. "Better place" here means heaven, I guess.

Uh

How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?

Everything I went through you were standing there by my side

And now you gon' be with me for the last ride

"Family" here is referred to their friendship. They've been together as friends for years and they've gone through many ups and downs.

[Charlie Puth:]

It's been a long day without you, my friend

And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (I see you again)

We've come a long way (yeah, we came a long way) from where we began (you know we started)

Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I'll see you again (let me tell you)

When I'll see you again

(Aah oh, aah oh

Wooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Wiz Khalifa:]

{Yeah}

First you both go out your way

And the vibe is feeling strong

And what's small turn to a friendship

A friendship turn to a bond

And that bond will never be broken

The love will never get lost (and the love will never get lost)

And when brotherhood come first

Then the line will never be crossed

Established it on our own

When that line had to be drawn

And that line is what we reach

So remember me when I'm gone (remember me when I'm gone)

How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?

Everything I went through you were standing there by my side

And now you gon' be with me for the last ride

[Charlie Puth:]

So let the light guide your way, yeah

Hold every memory as you go

And every road you take, will always lead you home, ooh ooo oh

This part above is called... Bridge, I guess? I like this part. It's emotional and portrays the feelings well. "So let the light guide your way"... I'm touched. :(

It's been a long day without you, my friend

And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

We've come a long way from where we began

Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

When I see you again

(Aah oh)

{Uh}

(Aah oh)

{Yeah}

(Wooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

{Ya, ya}

When I see you again

{Uh}

See you again

(Wooooh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

{Yeah, yeah, uha}

When I see you again

This is the type of song that you would never get bored of. You would find yourself humming to this song unconsciously when you zoned out (like I do). I really like this song. It's emotional and meaningful.
