See you again


“See You Again” is a song by US rapper Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth, published in 2015. The song is the final soundtrack of the movie “Fast & Furious 7”.

Fast & Furious 7 was published in 2015 and is the penultimate of a series of action movies produced in USA, in which the most important elements are racing cars.
The author of the song, Cameron Jibril Thomaz (stage name Wiz Khalifa), was born on 8 September 1987 in Minot (North Dakota) and he is specialized in pop/rap songs.
The song holds the record for the highest rating, exceeding three billions views. It received some awards as the best song in 2015 at the “Hollywood Film Festival” and in 2016 at the “Golden Globe”.
It was written as a tribute to the actor Paul Walker, who died in a car accident in November 2013.
The song is played in the final scene of the film, in which the protagonists Brian (Paul Walker) and Toretto (Vin Diesel) run on two different streets on their own cars representing Brian’s farewell.
The lyrics of the song is about the death of a dear friend, and it gives strength to face the problems of life, giving hope to meet again ...

"It was a long day without you my friend, and I'll tell you everything when I see you again"

We have chosen this phrase, taken from the lyrics of the song, because it makes us realize that we need to give importance to close people because they could leave us at any time.
