    It takes a strong man to love a broken woman... This song gives hope! There is a man out there wanting to show you real love patience and make time for you. Don't chase after the ones that barely make time for you, ignore you, aren't there for you and act like you are to difficult to be loved.

    French translation:
    A love, with love
    This year I fell in love with love
    And it was neither a woman nor a man
    And we weren't you too
    And he was not gay and I was not pan
    I haven't judged the man of color in the back of tomorrow
    No matter the mixture, black, white, brown ie, paper bag sunbathing
    This love was greater than any internal religious war
    That I was lost, but not yet above, the great I am
    And as God is just what it is, is defined by Man
    Context of the poem: He fell in love with himself(found himself). Love is universal, it did not take the love of a man nor a woman for him to understand love. He has faced his past and has accepted it for what it is. He is now ready to love.

  • @queendaily3648

    Raindrops, they fall over the rooftops in Calabasas
    Somewhere in the world
    The prettiest girls trade in their beautiful to find a happiness
    Just like an only child, you never had somebody stay a while
    You're caught up in your ways, prescriptions for the pain
    But it's never too late
    To let me hold you, let me hold you for the first time
    Everybody needs love on a cold night
    When you're starin' at the wall 'cause you can't cry
    You can just hit my line
    Early phonin' just to talk about nothin'
    Favorite channel, which celebrity's your cousin?
    I'm not rushin', but when you need some lovin'
    Whenever, whenever, whenever you're ready to be loved
    Whenever, whenever, whenever you're ready to be loved
    Wanna be there, I'll be there
    Wanna be there, can I be there?
    When you're ready to be loved
    Been takin' time on it, time on it
    All of my mind on it, mind on it
    Spend my last dime on it, dime on it
    Credit card won't decline on us
    Pull up a chair, let's take a train
    Not talkin' liquor, I need your thing
    Thginkin' clearly, clearly, clearly, clearly, clearly
    Don't need your hands to feel me
    Don't need hands to touch you
    Know you got trust issues
    I won't ever rush it
    I won't ever rush you, no
    I won't ever have to rush it
    Whenever, whenever, whenever you're ready to be loved
    Whenever, whenever, whenever you're ready to be loved
    Wanna be there (I wanna be there, yeah), I'll be there
    Wanna be there (I wanna be there), can I be there?
    When you're ready to be loved
    Un amour, avec amour
    Cette année je suis tombé amoureux de l'amour
    Et ce n'était ni une femme ni un homme
    Et on étaient pas you too
    Et il n'était pas gay et je n'étais pas casserole
    Je ne l'ai pas jugé à l'homme de la couleur à l'arrière de demain
    Peu importe le mélange, noir, blanc, marron
    C'est à dire, sac de papier bronzer
    Cet amour était plus grand que toute guerre religieuse interne
    Que j'étais perdu mais pas encore au dessus, the great I am
    Et comme Dieu c'est juste ce que c'est, est défini par l'Homme

    Really love how vulnerable Elijah is to being loved on this record. The concept with the different ways one can be vulnerable to love in this new visual truly helps bring this already beautifully amazing record to life too. Also proving why Elijah is among my favorite artists now and has been for the past few years. Even that said I'm surprised I didnt know he already dropped Bijoux 23 and will have to add it to the long list of music I need to listen to, but haven't yet. Bijoux 22 was among my favorite EP's and possibly even projects ever, so if 23 is anywhere near as good I can't wait to dive into it.

    Here is what the words at the end mean
    “A love, with love
    This year I fell in love with love
    And it was neither a woman nor a man
    And we were not you too
    And he was not gay and I was not cooking
    I did not judge the man of color in the back of tomorrow
    No matter the mix, black, white, brown
    That is, tanning paper bag
    This love was greater than any internal religious war
    That I was lost but not yet at the top, the great I am
    And as God is just what it is, is defined by man”
