The way I interpret this is that Daniel Ceasar’s character is ignored by his family and they wouldn’t notice if he went away. They blew a birthday cake over his dead body. Omar’s character was put under a MRI machine to try and understand the issues, and the brain scan was cool too - when he said my brain on 2CP. So that resulted in them having to isolate their romance to the loneliness of the desert and even then they’re still wearing masks in fear of being seen for who they truly are. I also thought that intro of them as little, innocent children playing with toys in the alleyway speaks to how we all come into the world - precious and perfect, which continues, until our parents or home see us differently. I love this whole concept and it’s so beautifully done. I’m a big fan!!!
This song captured something within me - I am 49 and if I hear a song that still makes me want to dream + feel ambitious then it's hitting all the right places - Thank you !
IVE BEEN LISTENING TO DANIEL CAESAR SINCE 2016 AND OMAR APOLLO SINCE 2017 (ugotme release) IM JUST HAPPY TO SEE BOTH OF THEM GET THE ATTENTION AND FAME THEY DESERVE 😭😭😭 I HOPE YOU MAKE A SONG WITH JEREMY ZUCKER TOO 😭😭😭
Jesus. Our boy is moving at warped speed. I can’t think of another artist who I’ve seen, progress in terms of talent and range so rapidly. It’s insane how much thought goes into every one of his projects. They could easily take 3x as long to execute. This is so layered and raw and nuanced. Im here for the full embrace of sexuality in this video. No hesitation, no quiet shame or suppressed feelings. & the fact that he’s conceptualizing the videos as well, demands more credit. It takes genuine artistry, depth and vulnerability to bring a visual to life that tells a story and cuts to the core of the viewer. He’ll be directing his own projects in no time. Gah i could keep going but i shan’t. So lastly- I think he’s going to be one of the most prolific queer artists of this generation & thank god I’m alive for ittt. We’re actually married now too, so congratulations are, in fact, in order. Uh thank yew. 🕺🏾
Was actually good to read this as upon hearing this I looked up some older releases and was very disappointed and write him off as a one hit wonder but might have to check back now if he has improved a lot
This made me unexpectedly emotional right out the gate. “If I were to go, tell me would you notice me.” Would he? Usually no. The beat is so good and the slew of emotions is great. Beautiful song. Can’t wait for the full album.
Chorus: Daniel Caesar] If I were to go (Go, go) Tell me, would you notice me? If I were to go (Go, go) Tell me, would you notice me?

If I'm down, would you help me out?
Omar and Daniel have such complimentary flows deliveries. They are both great in their own ways too but hearing them work together is always a treat. I think the fanbases are generally really similar too which is nice to see likeminded people collide every time they collab. I know if I put in the work, I can get as big as them but for now, I’m just happy being a supporter. Truly unmatched energy🔥
i already started crying with the flow of Omar's strumming, then Daniel's voice and i know for a fact when the entire song premiers with Omar singing - i'm gonna turn into a waterfall 😩❤️
This joint is dope as hell! I don’t make this type of music personally, yet I still find myself getting inspired by Omar’s ingenuity in his music every time I hear a new track. I’m lucky enough to have secured tickets to one of your upcoming shows on the east coast. I can’t wait to hear this song in person! Maybe some day if I blowup, I can tell you to your face what impact your music had on my own!
Ok, what the hell was that!? It’s around 2:am Saturday night/Sunday morning, and, like a good productive insomniac, I’m in the kitchen going about my business cleaning things, washing dishes with the TV on and KCRW on the radio in the background….And then this song comes on. I notice how beautiful it is, so I mute the TV and listen to it and begin to look it up on the radio station’s website playlist on my iPad. It finishes playing but I decide to look up the video on UA-cam and possibly download it to my iPad. I find the video,…. I watch it, listening to the lyrics and getting drawn into it…. the melody, the lyrics, the video…. All of it….. I can’t explain it or why, but before I knew it,…. this 56 year old man (me) starts getting emotional and sobbing helplessly. The song and video together are so moving and beautifully deep. It’s truly amazing when something can touch ones emotional core so directly addressing issues of how unpredictably fragile human life is and the priceless value of the close emotional bonds we hold with those who are irreplaceable in our short and precious lives. It’s a very haunting cathartic piece that seems to address the pain associated with the loss of loved ones in addition to celebrating the memories of time spent with them. My hearing it tonight just seemed a bit serendipitous in timing because in addition to recently reflecting on the number friends and family members lost to COVID over the past 2 years, I also just received news earlier this evening of the passing of a dear old friend who had been in a coma for the past 9 months (non COVID related). I also noticed that parts of the video had been filmed on location at RSI Studios at Cal Poly Pomona (Ambulance scene and house scenes, and more) which coincidentally is where I had worked on an Amazon film for 9 months in 2019 together with my buddy who recently died. That was the last time I had seen him in person. The Multiverse has a way of doing that. Oh, the ‘Feels’. Needless to say, I put the song on ‘Repeat’ for the next hour or so and just let it all flow…. Never forget to hold those dearest to you close and tell them often how special they are in your life. Today is all we have.
Beautiful, Omar your creative vision an collaboration has grown so much and what I see expressed in your art is so powerful and still so heartfelt. This was a great film and song!
Can someone explain to me how a song can be this good? Like I'm wracking my actual fucking brains.. 7 days have elapsed and I still cannot stop myself from blasting this song every day on recycle mode. Daniel Ceasar + Omar Apollo = Soulgasm
First time I heard this song I was blown away. I was in my car coming up on the intersection I always cross before getting to my house after work. Someone blew threw a red light and I had just enough to time to stop suddenly, with him narrowly missing me, this happening just seconds before the pre chorus where the lifeline beeps come in. I was absolutely shook, I thought how poignant that a song like this plays as I contemplate my life almost ending. This song still makes me cry sometimes. Would you notice me? Just gets me right in the chest.
last friday night was the first time that my husband and I hear him, and l have to say that we are super fans now, I just want so see him live!!! He's a star risign, luv it
Ugh i can't stop replaying... And well done Omar for putting a good word in for 2cb - if people turned to psychedelics rather than uppers the world would be such a better place
Can't wait for that NEW album!! This Boi is pretty & pretty awesome!! love mostly ALL his music. Been following his up rise since Unbothered!!! Get it Omar!!!
Concepto, talento, tecnica, pero mucha artisticidad tienes Hemoso, tu nueva admiradora, apenas ayer cruce palabras con tigo Omar senti tu hermosa luminocidsd como persona como artista. Gracias por tu abrazo me lo tengo para toda la vida, desde Roma Italia un beso.
This is something that Thom Yorke would be proud of - it's probably nearer where he's trying to hit ..a collaboration with Omar Apollo and Thom would be a welcome one IMO
BIIIITTCCCHHH AHHHHHH
Drip drip drip with the cold IV
ISTG I LOVE YOU BOTH!!!

@@rubygaming8577I’m watching the show right now why is season 2 so confusing lol
this is so insanely accurate, wow.

That's what made my ear orgasm 💙🕯

How is he married to you when he’s been married me? 🥲 But I totally agree with what you’ve said
no he is not gay, in his lyrics he is talking from the perspective of girl i think "he kissed me now i love his dopamine" show that !!
bruh shut up stop promoting lgbt its wrong
@@cosmo9238 he’s dating frank

one of the most original piece of music I've heard these days

i’ve honestly have missed daniel’s music so much and this collab was just so amazing. Wow.
I love this song
Both of them know how to do real music, I love them
I really hope Omar blows up with the release of this masterpiece and his album. He deserves it, he’s so talented
Such a GREAT collaboration 😭❤️ So proud of my Mexican Omar..he's growing so much 🙏🏼
This joint is dope as hell! I don’t make this type of music personally, yet I still find myself getting inspired by Omar’s ingenuity in his music every time I hear a new track.
