Imagine fka twigs and Moses collabing and dancing together... SHOOK.
I truly don’t know how they haven’t collaborated already. It would be PERFECT
AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
And VV Brown
My edges are shook just by hearing the thought
And Bjork too and Thom Yorke...
The contrast between Moses being the virile man of the Earth and him being defeated by the swarm of tiny ladybugs is so artistically done. Absolutely beautiful!
Moses is carving out a truly original path. He must have so many diverse influences. Genre defying genius.
Just Vibing @ the Meat Processing Plant
His skin is unreal. Im jealous
Sooo smooth
Right! Damn I’m sooo jealous! My skin his horrible
That was a trip, man...i cant even process it yet. The music is so powerful and the images are overwhelming. I want to watch it again but at the same time I don't hahha
I had the same feeling when I first watched the video for "Quarrel." Already loved the song but that video took things to a weird new level I never expected.
Right I don’t really understand the meaning of the video all the way . He look like he was sculpted by God tho 😩
moses bout to inspire me to start working out goodness gracious
This video should win an award for being so creatively different too! ✌🥝💚🦹♀️
He is so Beautifully DOPE! He reminds me of Benjamin Clementine the way he crescendos to that Angelic Tone. They are both fantastically odd and wonderful, I love their styles and accept that they are not from this realm. I'm just glad they came to hang out with the rest of us mere mortals for a while 💗
And Prince!!!!
This is so disturbing and delightful, and it keeps me coming back, which is exactly what art should be and what art should do!
Oh it's disturbing alright I wonder who pays to put this in adds?
Sometimes i feel like Moses literally delivers messages from upper dimensions 🤯✨✨✨✨
(lyrics)
[Intro]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah...
[Verse 1]
On the long hike through
Blue Ridge Mountains
I can feel the earth
Overtake my skin
And I realize none
Of this matters
'Cause I will return
To dust and matter
[Pre-Chorus]
Cheers to the patriarchs
And the marble arch
Playin' their part
The gatekeeper's march
[Chorus]
Desperate for passing grades
The virility fades
You've got the wrong guy
You wanna slip right in
Amp up the masculine
You've got the wrong idea, son
Dear son
We pick our own prisons
Verse 2
To stake dominion over all that one surveys
Is the virile kind of way
Just to the course
And the noise
Played the part
That can’t keep us loved
Chorus
Just before passing graves
The virility fades
You’ve got the wrong guy
You wanna fit right in
Amp up the masculine
You’ve got the wrong eye
Too much is not enough
Too much is not enough
You’ve got the wrong eye
Post-Chorus
Tearsome death, oh
And you pick your own prison
Bridge
You want dominion to make minions of the stars
Made up of what you are
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You’re all, all, all, all
Chorus
Just before passing graves
The virility fades
You’ve got the wrong guy
You wanna fit right in
Amp up the masculine
You’ve go got the wrong eye
Outro
Tearsome
WolfGangisking thanks so much!
I'm stunned. The song, the video... Just wow
One of thee most necessary voices of our time.
First thing I've ever seen or heard from this guy. Wow. Great song and gorgeous dancing.
You need to listen to his album Aromanticism right away!!
wanna get real hyped? this - ua-cam.com/video/ysb4TjuC5GM/v-deo.html
Fr same wtf is this lol it's pretty cool !
stunned is the word for what i feel after watching/listening to this
the black Thom Yorke. Love love love love Moses.
exactly what I was thinking!
I love both of their authentic energy and melancholy!
Jolyon Cheung exactly what I thought lol
Felt the whole vibe just one second in. Liked and subscribed instantly. Strong and bound breaking energy. Everything about this. The whole symbolism the movement imagery and lyrics. "Virile" is such a powerful and necessary word. The questioning of false masculinity and courageous demonstration of true divine masculinity. We need this.
Sigh... that man is otherworldly talented, Beautiful and a trail blazer in music... ✌🏿🌙
I’m still processing FKA Twigs being back and now Moses Sumney???? Maybe November isn’t that bad after all
RIGHT!!!!
This man is the real goat out here. The art of it all my God. Thank you Mr Moses
I swear I haven't listened to a single song less than incredible by him. How is it possible? Moses stands in the highest altars of the Art.
Heard him yesterday on radio 6 . Impressed indeed and will look forward to album and I'm 62 yrs young and my wife will wonder whats got into me . :-)
This is such a banger and I love that this song is all about interrogating hyper masculinity. God, it's so good and the dancing was so powerful.
you are an all-around artist musically and visually,the video is stunning,and you direct that!
...the music...the video...i couldn't resist and i already bought your cd!
So pretty. Moses is like a swipe of paint noodling around all the time in the flowy clothes. It's awesome lol
Seriously he needs to work with Serpentwithfeet and create some magical dope ass tracks
They're friends! It's bound to happen 🥰😭
@@bagsbugs3024 YES by the way, are u from Indonesia too? BC WIG U GOT TASTE
@@AP-iq3sf 🥴🤟😩🤟 yes, awwwe thanks that means u got taste too!
They actually are working together in new music
@@mariobros3e FOR REALLL?
I NEED to see a collar with FKA Twigs and maybe even Sevdaliza!
all three would be like way too powerful I don’t think the world could handle that
the music, his dancing, the cinematography, the harmony it is overwhelming
Absolutely wonderful visual representation of the music. You never disappoint with the visuals. Keep Going sir, you've got a fan in meeee...... :)
thumbs up to all the ladybugs that didn't walk into your mouth. respectful & nice!!
Not for the lack of trying as it seems (yikes)
Definitely worth it for the visual tho!
I don't know if it's dark or bright, but it's metaphysical, sure!
Double. Album. Moses Sumney - making it into 2020's Top 5 Albums in 2019 🔥
It’s the multitalentedness for me.
This is art. I love seeing Moses's music videos. He always display an idea in a very cinematic and visual way. His Vocals are stunning to begin with and the instrumentation is great. I'm loving this. Very inspired! Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I came here after hearing RMs new album! Never heard of this man but I’m a fan!!🥰🥰🥰
552 people couldn't stand, how much, more superior Moses Sumney is to them in every possible way, and hit dislike !? Chill people, not everyone is born to be MAGNIFICENT
Oh Moses....finally some fresh air.....thank you.....
imagine being as beautiful as moses sumney .. i just
Classic from 2019! 🖤
Found this on Nowness platform. Watching over and over again. Love the unique location, the performer’s moves, and the ending also evokes emotions. Artistic and creative!!
Can u email me..? I wana learn something new from you
What is amazing about Black musicians, especially males but females count too, is that they seldom venture into independent, alt rock or electronica styles (read anything other than soul/rap/hip hop/rnb/reggae) but whenever they do, they tend to produce something really otherwordly (Massive Attack, Tricky, Billie Myers, Bloc Party...). This is another example of this. Astounding job Mr Sumney.
I’m literally obsessed with this man! He is Perfection!
Absolutely beautiful art
I'm not gay but after this, I'm starting to doubt myself
Hmm
Same, bro
You're not gay if it's Moses bro
Fuck thats what I was thinking about the whole video
Music Pills Horizons In Music bahahaha i thought the same... “i think i might be gay”
2016 me: hope james blake and moses can collaborate
2019: they did
me now: fka anyone?
Ok so I stumbled across this and I really don't know what I just watched but if anything I will give him credit for his creativity and for entertaining me
Saw him performing in Accra on New Year’s Day. He sounds so good live. Can’t wait for grae
Waiting for this track since Desert Daze. This LIVE was CHILLING.
I envy you. I made the bad decision to see something else at that time, came back and caught the last 5 minutes of Moses with a string section. I was in tears. So incredibly beautiful.
This dude living his truth! This song truly coded. Nice, artistic and very creative.😊
nobody:
the cold cuts in your fridge once youv;e closed the door:
lmaoooo i hate this
HE IS A GENIUS. PERIODT
3.00 ughhhhhhhhhhh so perferfect I need more of that sound
Deeply appreciate these lyrics Moses! Nailed the whole package. You're wonderful!
Loved this! Art is supposed to make you think, and we thank you Moses ❤️
"Your singing showed us how well you can dance." Alyssia Edwards, RuPaul's Drag Race.
Absolutely beautiful work of art. Truly. I just wish I could understand the lyrics.
I don't get it but this song is gorgeous anyway. Am glad he is able to express himself exactly the way he wants to, just living in his truth and being free. Do your thing Moses.
Mark my words the NEXT PRINCE
Jeff Buckley vibes. Love you Moses since your debut album.
I had the chance to see Moses on stage and wow his voice is unreal.
Thank you for your art.✨💫
Just got introduced to Moses Sumney. I know I’m late to the party but I’m so glad I came. Heard this song a month ago, looked up the video, now it’s later and I’m back because this song and video haunts me. In the good way of course. This song is art, the video is art, this man is art.
love you moses
The visuals and vocals are always a VISION!
Your art says so much . Its Beautiful, Deadly and Defying. Definitely a fan of such eclectic music, your frequency is Dope brother🤙🏽🙏🏽
moses sumney once again fails not to impress
my kinda music. first album in ages that i will cary with me for a very long time and return back to it over and over again after that. to me already a classic.
I need some explanation of his videos, but his Music is EVERYTHING!!!!!! It is out of this world for sure!!!!
He's music is amazing but yea the video is kinda messed up he's a strange character that's for sure 😂
The only thing wrong with all this is his album dropping in May 2020
This is. The most. Fantastic thing. I've seen. All year.

Ok so that final shot was...wow😱🤯🖤
Today I learned I need to go the gym 😭
Wow! Just wow amazing
I need to watch/listen to this like fifteen more times. Absolutely gorgeous and powerful as always, Moses, I'm so excited for your new album.
I keep coming back to this video. Legit cannot stop listening
something about this made me think of Bowie's "Sue"
PJ Totally! It's got that same sinister, percussive vibe
Couldn't place the specific track, but really feeling the Bowie element. Love it!
I agree. Well done picking it.
🔥

Sincerely.
me and the carcasses vibing in the slaughterhouse

This video made me love him more🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 other worldly vocals and a performance artist. Then on top of all that he is visually appealing. There’s a rawness about his movement ❤️❤️❤️❤️
