This song was written for Django Unchained but was rejected by Quentin Tarantino because none of the scenes in the movie could carry such a powerful tune without being overpowering over the scene itself.
This song is so powerful. Just listen to the words and the message behind it. And he is so right about people and society. The way things go. Makes me cry when I hear, "you're my brother, but your eyes are cold. You're my sister but your womb is bare." I do bet my mother would be proud of me but what does that really matter if I'm part of the problem.
This song was actually made for Tarantino's Django Unchained, and this one was talking about the sufferings his black brothers and sisters had to endure. It would make a lot of sense reading again the lyrics. It could also be interpreted as you did, and that diversity of perspective makes this song better.
but music can be interpreted however the listener wants... That's the whole reason it exist, well it plays a major part. Bazazam's interpretation does have something to do with it, or could.
my mom passed away when I was 9. im 15 right now. this song is my fav song of all time. Frank ocean is my fav artist but this songs makes me cry every time.
Wiseman closes mouth Madman closes fist Young man shows his age Judge man named it sin Bad man don' exist no No evil man exists Good man don't exist no No righteous man exists Sad man cannot cry in place where man can see Never witnessed father weep This old man thought it weak But strong man don't exist No undying man exists Weak man don't exist no Just flesh and blood exists But your mother would be proud of you I bet your mother would be proud of you The beast will crawl this earth Then fall in the dirt to feed the crows They'll rip apart his flesh 'Til all that's left is glorious bone So you'll bury your own Too vain You saw it unfold What you know And you claimed all you could hold Until death did you part from the mess you made I bet your mother would be proud of you I bet your mother would be proud of you Primate sharpens tool To survive and thrive in the jungle Maybe hearts were made to pump blood Maybe lungs were made for flood I won't blunt my blade for cut these chains Rather let my limbs be dragged through mud You're my brother but your eyes are cold You're my sister but your womb is bare I bet our mother would be proud of you I bet our mother would be proud of you Bad man don't exist No evil man exists I know good man don't exist No righteous man exists Strong man don't exist No undying man exists Weak man don't exist No just flesh and blood exists
I'm crying too ..I follow him around..once in a while I come back to UA-cam and play all his lives again while searching for new ones..he doesn't just release songs or albums anyhow😣😣😆
I don’t know why but this song has always made me feel like he was talking about his little brother. So now, hearing it after Ryan’s death hits really different for me.
I revisit this video regularly and hope it never gets taken down or deleted.. Saw Frank live back in 2013, he ended all his shows with this track I'm guessing(saw him in Amsterdam). Seeing Frank live performing Channel Orange was magical enough on its own, but I did not know this song back then. I was just in awe for five minutes straight, the beauty of it reached my core. Best concert I've ever been to, and I am so incredibly sad that he never did a Chanel tour through Europe. What I would give to see this man live again
It’s my dream to see Frank Ocean perform live.. I’d have to bring boxes of tissues tho.. Cuz if watching this already gets me emotional af, I can’t imagine what it would be like if I were there in person 😭😭😭
Just found this song finally watching Southpaw about a month ago. Haven't been able to get it out of my head since. Thank you for this live performance, even more moving than the studio recording. You've made a 55-yr-old guy cry, and it feels healing.
Here 9 years later still crying for the beauty of this performance a once in a lifetime artist I get to witness during my trip on this rock, forever grateful
Saw him in LA at Fyf fest and it’ll always be one of the best concerts I’ve witnessed. Frank is unreal live. Sad Coachella went the way it did, they missed out.
Frank always has the most beautiful instrumentals- not that his voice needs any accompaniment but Frank is the most talented singer of our generation. 💕
for some reason his voice has always reminded me of something in alice in wonderland and the mad hatter...I guess just the magical, mystical vibe his voice carries...it seems to permeate one on a spiritual level.
Bro wtf he sound exactly the same in the actual song like hella no autotune the vocals are fuckng amazing
Facts; you got to love it as there really ain’t too many others out here that can do the same sadly enough.
Real music that can be enjoyed live.

+bazazam you mean Django right? lmfao
+Danea Ford i think he is talking that the mother nature,that is the earth will be grateful that we existed even tho...whatever whatever...
+bazazam has nothing to do with that. He wrote it for Django but not because of black suffrage but for his views on life.
but music can be interpreted however the listener wants... That's the whole reason it exist, well it plays a major part. Bazazam's interpretation does have something to do with it, or could.
This HAS to be one of the top 3 most beautifully written songs of ALL TIME 🔥🔥🔥🔥
my mom passed away when I was 9. im 15 right now. this song is my fav song of all time. Frank ocean is my fav artist but this songs makes me cry every time.
i love u i hope ur doing okay today, grief is forever but she’s looking right over to make sure ur okay, ur not alone shes there with you
i envy the people who got to see this man live.
Frankly amazing
This comment wins
“Never witness father weep, his old man thought it weak” that part hits so hard for me
0.31 seconds and all the cheers and screams respectfully stop to let one of the most phenomenal artists of our generation share a masterpiece.
I’m really late... but music never expires right? This song is just so beautiful. What a performance, brought a tear to my eye.
Never too late. Lotta people still coming here for the first time.
@@aplai-hokkharshandi1613 i have to thank drake for presenting me this masterpiece
Incredibly sad song, man.
opposite
@@Novaxtheartiste bittersweet song so both
Why do I find a new masterpiece of Frank Ocean each year around the same time
Last year it was Rushes, Higgs and Cayendo
@@noahnoah7360Rushes is fucking beautiful favourite song ever
Wiseman closes mouth
Madman closes fist
Young man shows his age
Judge man named it sin
Bad man don' exist no
No evil man exists
Good man don't exist no
No righteous man exists
Sad man cannot cry in place where man can see
Never witnessed father weep
This old man thought it weak
But strong man don't exist
No undying man exists
Weak man don't exist no
Just flesh and blood exists
But your mother would be proud of you
I bet your mother would be proud of you
The beast will crawl this earth
Then fall in the dirt to feed the crows
They'll rip apart his flesh
'Til all that's left is glorious bone
So you'll bury your own
Too vain
You saw it unfold
What you know
And you claimed all you could hold
Until death did you part from the mess you made
I bet your mother would be proud of you
I bet your mother would be proud of you
Primate sharpens tool
To survive and thrive in the jungle
Maybe hearts were made to pump blood
Maybe lungs were made for flood
I won't blunt my blade for cut these chains
Rather let my limbs be dragged through mud
You're my brother but your eyes are cold
You're my sister but your womb is bare
I bet our mother would be proud of you
I bet our mother would be proud of you
Bad man don't exist
No evil man exists
I know good man don't exist
No righteous man exists
Strong man don't exist
No undying man exists
Weak man don't exist
No just flesh and blood exists
Love people like you 💪🏾

Damn, i did not know that frank could make this such a beautiful poem, hes literally a true lyricist
진짜 진짜 좋아하는 라이브...
Whos still here at August 2024 this is fucking masterpiece my inspiration my roman empire❤️🔥
I Just heard Frank Ocean sing part of this song Wiseman @end of a fantastic movie, "SOUTHPAW" starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
T'was beautiful.
je découvre Frank Ocean et j'adoooore. je trouve qu'avec les effets il a un peu la voix de Prince.
Its even better live. even now this song affects me so much. I love him. He writes beautifully
best live performance hands down
Its right next to J.Cole - Be Free and Kanyes - Pinocchio Story all amazing live performances. So much emotion.
Dustin Hansen you cant compare this magic to Kanyes fakeass robot voice ..
LikelyLeikin lol but I did tho.
maybe j.cole not kanye
so much raw emotion in his voice
Still extremely powerful very underrated frank track
I thought the record was in some sort of way produced.. but this actually sounds like the recorded version. Insanely talented
I’m balling my eyes out right now listening from a screen, I can only imagine how I would’ve acted if I was actually there.
I’D KILL TO SEE THIS LIVE OMG
Makes me cry...especially with the things that happened in Paris. Thanks Frank
This version is much better than the studio version
Agreed!
Naaaaaah
True thing
Cap
No way.
One of my favorite Frank Ocean classics 🫶🏻
Only a few can sound exactly like their albums and not be just a product but actually have talent. Miguel, frank, Bruno, Abel to name a few fr
Un moment gravé a jamais dans ma mémoire ce soir de juillet 2013 au Zenith
I love this man in a way that isn’t human
Me too, not to mention the song is the end of the world
i miss him
It’s my dream to see Frank Ocean perform live.. I’d have to bring boxes of tissues tho.. Cuz if watching this already gets me emotional af, I can’t imagine what it would be like if I were there in person 😭😭😭
