Paul Walker Tribute from ‘Furious 7’, Music Video and Lyrics for ‘See You Again’
By
Brad Brevet
It’s only been a few hours since Furious 7 crushed box office records and left franchise and Paul Walker fans in a heep as the final scene played out before the credits rolled to the tune of “See You Again” by Wiz Khalfia and Charlie Puth.
Included in the video are scenes from the end of the film, including the above shot which is just one example of the CGI version of Walker, rotoscoped over one of his brothers, but as far as how they handled Walker’s death in the film, director James Wan talked a little about it with Slashfilm saying:
And we all felt that we wanted Paul to be sent off to be retired in the most graceful way that we could do it. And one that is befitting this franchise. And ultimately that was the main driving force that allow us to wake up every morning, to go on set, and to continue making this movie even with such heavy hearts that we had.
I’m not gonna say specifically what was what, because I think it’s very important that people go into this movie not fixated on trying to work out which is Paul, which isn’t Paul. I want them to just watch the movie and enjoy the film and be caught up in the emotion of it all. I think that’s exactly, we worked so hard so that they don’t have to do that. Right?

"See You Again" lyrics
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
I'll tell you all about it when I see you again, when I see you again
Damn, who knew, all the planes we flew, good things we been through
That I'd be standing right here, talking to you about another path
I knew we'd love to hit the road and laugh, but something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up, look at things, see the bigger picture
Those were the days, hard work forever pays
I'll see you in a better place
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I would do you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
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
I'll tell you all about it when I see you again, when I see you again
First you both go out your way and the vibe is feeling strong
And what's small turn to a friendship and friendship turn to a bond
And that bond will never be broke and that 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 reached so remember me when I'm gone
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I would do you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
So let the light guide the way
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take
Will always lead you home
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
I'll tell you all about it when I see you again, when I see you again
