"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."
All right, it's a Fast and Furious song. That's all I have to say.
It seems like a life choice sort of song.
I think it's probably a romantic relationship.
This is probably about a couple.
Maybe they haven't broken up yet, but they're like,
"I think we need to do something here."
When you talk to someone, you don't think it's going to be anything,
but who'd know we'd be here?
Wait a second...
Is this Wiz Khalifa?
It's See You Again.
I know this song. It was by Wiz Khalifa.
I know it's about Paul Walker passing away.
"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."
This song is so dope.
They've traveled a lot, they've had a lot of fun.
What they have is temporary.
What they have, while it's good, it isn't going to last.
The bigger picture, to me, is that fun isn't always the correct thing.
It needs to be more solid.
"Those were the days, hard work forever pays.
Now I see you in a better place."
Oh, no, that sounds sad.
Oh, okay, for a second I was like,
"Wait, is she dead?" But I don't think so.
It seems kind of reminiscent and nostalgic.
Now he's in Heaven. He's in a great place.
You are like my angel.
"Forever paying" kind of means they left a legacy.
It doesn't have to be really a monetary type of payment.
It's more of like a legacy that they've left behind.
"How can we not talk about family when family's all we that we got?"
That still could be a romantic relationship
or it could be a family member, like a sibling or a parent.
The person they might be talking about doesn't have to be
a brother or sister.
You can consider a good friend family.
"Everything I went through, you were standing there by my side,
and now you gonna be with me for the last ride."
(gasping) Wait.
This is, um, the Wiz Khalifa song, I think.
He's saying everything I went through, you were standing
right there by my side, so they were obviously very close.
When I hear "last ride", I think somebody's dying.
"It's been a long day without you my friend,
and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again."
"It's a long day", probably, is referring to life,
not just a specific day.
That's a hard, hard lyric I know he had to sing right there.
It's like friendship that turned into family.
When he goes to Heaven, he'll see his friend
and he'll talk to him again.
He could be talking about both the movie
and the real-life incident that happened with Paul Walker's passing.
"We've come a long way from where we began.
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again."
"From where we began"-- he's starting to remember
the first moment I met you, I just knew we were best friends.
How their journey had so many hardships and how far they've came,
you know, from the first movie to the last one.
It's a crazy difference.
It's like when we're re-united one day, whether it's in the afterlife
or not, we'll talk about it.
"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."
That friendship can turn into a super close bond
that eventually becomes like a family member.
It's a friendship, not a relationship.
He's saying we were friends and our bond got stronger
and it was more than a friendship.
"And that bond will never be broken,
and the love will never get lost.
And when brotherhood comes first
then the line will never be crossed."
Even though that you're not next to my side,
I'm still gonna have that special bond with you.
Bros before hoes.
That's what they're pretty much saying.
Even though they're not from the same blood,
they could call each other brothers. They love each other.
When you have this close bond,
the other person isn't going to do something
that would really, really piss you off.
Once you have an inseparable bond, not even death can break it.
"Established it on our own when that line had to be drawn.
And that line is what we reached so remember me when I'm gone."
(heavy sigh) Oh, man.
The feels, man. The feels.
This special bond and friendship, don't forget about it,
don't try to move on, always remember me.
That line will forever always be there in remembrance
of all the things they've done.
Yes, they stopped at a certain point,
but they stopped at a good point with each other.
They've done a lot together.
"So let the light guide your way, yeah.
Hold every memory as you go and every road you take
will always lead you home."
That could either mean "the light", as into a different path in the movie,
when in real life it was obviously 'cause he passed away.
"The light" in this context is actually a good thing.
It's more of an encouragement.
He's always had to hold onto the memory of what they had, no matter what.
And just thinking about that will always lead you to a better place.
"When I see you again, when I see you again."
When I see you again, that's when we'll relive all our memories.
So that could either be, obviously, a Heaven sort of situation,
or their paths were to cross.
Obviously, this person's looking forward to that.
The bigger picture is when I die, I will see you again.
Reiterating everything the narrator just said.
This is what I want to tell you when I see you again.
(Finebros) So what do you think this song is about?
I think the main thing about this song is brotherhood.
Brotherhood and departure.
Ride-or-die relationship with these two people.
I feel like one of them died.
That's the kind of vibe I'm getting.
It was a tribute to Paul Walker
and his work on The Fast and the Furious movies
and just him as a human being.
If one dies, you can't think of it as a loss.
When I see you again,
it will be like a stronger bond that will come together.
(Finebros) Do you know this artist's song and title?
I have no idea.
I feel like it's probably called When I See You Again.
When I'm Gone, I think that's the song, by Yelawolf.
Wiz Khalifa's See You Again.
I know Wiz Khalifa sings a bit of it,
but I'm not sure who sings that other part of it
and it's When I See You Again?
See You Again, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Ruth?
Wiz Khalifa-- I don't know if there's anyone featured also,
and I think it's called See You Again.
See You Again-- I forgot the other guy's name
who sings the chorus, but then I know Wiz Khalifa raps in it.
(Finebros) It's called See You Again by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth.
Wiz Khalifa? Who's Charlie Puth?
Is he a new artist?
Oh, dang it.
Completely different song was playing in my head.
Ah, I was off by one letter, but it's good enough.
(Finebros) This song was on the soundtrack of Furious 7
and is written partially as a memorial for Paul Walker,
who passed away during production of the movie.
Oh, okay, so it was about Paul Walker.
So doesn't really talk about death, but more of a departure,
so it's respectful to the family, the franchises, and the fans.
Definitely a good way to make a memorial to someone is through a song
and to put that in the movie that was his last effort
as an actor, it's a very appropriate thing to do.
Everyone goes through something and I feel like this song
could relate to anything.
I'm gonna be really straight-up with you guys.
About a year ago-- I don't know, I'm not gonna [bleep] around,
I was dying too
and that whole experience that I had
just really made me prioritize what I thought was important
in life and what wasn't.
So in a way it's just a healthy reminder
of don't lose sight of what's important.
