An unofficial remix of Solange’s “Cranes in the Sky” has surfaced! Featured on the remix? Common! The veteran lyricist opens up the track with introspective lyrics and thought-provoking themes as he raps about an array of topics that include Lauryn Hill, everlasting love, escapism and sadness. In a statement to The Fader, Common further explained the inspiration for his additional verse:

“Every once in a few years, there are certain songs that come out and have the sound of forever. Cranes in the Sky is that song for me. Every time I listened to it, i keep wanting to hear it again and again. I started mumbling some words to it and then decided I want to write a verse. This is an unofficial remix simply inspired by the love of art.”

We’re sure Solange doesn’t mind your take on her song, Common!
