Later on, they wanted us to write a bridge which became (singing) ‘So let the light guide your way, hold every memory as you go,’ so I actually went to see a rough cut of the movie with the song and, oh, you know what I just realized? When I went to that rough cut I still didn’t know they were going to use my vocals on it. We were like, ‘How did we just do this so quickly? We sent it to them and they loved it, they got Wiz Khalifa on it, and the rest is history. When we wrote the song it was so powerful, just crazy human interaction.

I wrote it with my co-writer, Justin (DJ Frank E), who I just met at the time. I thought, ‘Who am I?’ But I took a whack at writing it. My first day I wrote my other single “Marvin Gaye, my second day I heard a message from the Fast and Furious franchise that they wanted a song to honor Paul Walker’s legacy for a three minute scene at the end of the movie, the most significant part of the movie. Though, between you and me, in the back of my mind I also secretly wanted to be an artist, but I thought the best way to go about that was to write songs first. He talked to American Songwriter about writing this song, saying that: “I had come out here by myself just to go to LA and be a songwriter, because that’s what I originally intended to do. When talking to MTV News about the ‘Furious 7’ movie soundtrack and tribute to the actor Paul Walker, Wiz Khalifa explained: “To have the responsibility to do the Paul Walker record was really dope, I basically thought about what the movie stands for as far as family and the brotherhood, and of course, using the metaphor of the last ride and the last race because of that last scene.” Wiz Khalifa recorded his verses in Snoop Dogg’s home studio in L.A.Īs for Charlie Puth, he penned the song in July 2014 during his second day of writing in LA. RIP Paul Walker.Inspired by the death of actor Paul Walker. So let us share a moment of silence for the death of Paul Walker. So it really is a great loss for them because not only did they lose a great actor, they also loss a great friend. In the latest movie, "FF7", Dom said "No matter where you are whether a quarter mile away or halfway across the world, you will always be my brother, and you will always be with me." The whole cast became really great friends after all these seven movies. And as the song says, "Every road you take will always lead you home.", even if these two friends had to part, they will always be together no matter what because they share a home together in their friendship. You will always have a home in people you love. When you make new friendships, it's like opening a new passageway to a successful life. If I was Vin I would also feel like this. I am guessing that the person talking here is none other than Vin Diesel who plays the role of Dominic Torreto in the same movie. So may people died in that storm and so many houses were destroyed. He was in a fund raising for the victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan. I just want to tell you that he died a heroic death. Walker plays Bryan and halfway between filming the "FF7", he died because of a car crash. This song is a tribute for the death of Paul Walker one of the main actors for "The Fast and the Furious" movies. Those were the days, hard work forever paysĪnd now you gon' be with me for the last rideįirst, you both go out your way and the vibe is feeling strongĪnd what's small turned to a friendship, a friendship turned to a bondĪnd that bond will never be broken, the love will never get lostĪnd when brotherhood come first, then the line will never be crossedĮstablished it on our own when that line had to be drawnĪnd that line is what we reached, so remember me when I'm gone Had to switch up, look at things different, see the bigger picture

'Bout another path, I know we loved to hit the road and laughīut something told me that it wouldn't last That I'd be standing right here talking to you Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you againĪll the planes we flew, good things we been through We've come a long way from where we began It's been a long day without you, my friendĪnd I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
