same we were blinded by the world sometimes its okay not to be "woke" I just miss the long hot summer days outside playing on the playground hanging with friends wishing i was grown lool
This song sounds like the end of summer and the beginning of fall. That weird feeling of melancholy that hits you out of nowhere when things were going just fine.
I don't take it as sadness, I embrace the future of more beautiful music like this to come. Congrats on your career and keep it up. looking forward to hearing a colab with you and Frank one day.
always strive and prosper this isn’t very underrated. just that people don’t take the time to listen to the rest of frank’s songs because they’ll only listen to such songs that are overplayed. fake fans man.
This album took a while for people to settle on and to devour and break down including me and when I listened to channel orange after blonde you understand why people didn’t fully go into this album but blonde was still good n full of underrated songs
Ed gAr are you saying you think orange is better? Just curious, because that album was magic to me when I listened straight thru when it released. This one feels like a good reminder of how great that one was, but not as strong.
This song (like much of the album) has a curiously warm and intimate, yet bleak, lonely and distant feel to it all at the same time. Like that feeling when the sun comes up on a winters' morning and despite the fact there's a clear blue sky, you still need to rug up because the breeze is blowing and there's nobody around to keep warm with... Frank's voice has this deep, soulful and often intimate feel to it, yet the music and lyrics have a loneliness and a bleakness to them. This song and 'Solo' are two great examples from this particular record. Yet where a band like The Smiths (another group I'd describe as 'bleak') bring to mind dark, overcast skies and rain-soaked streets in some grimy northern English town, a lot of Franks' stuff brings to mind the blue, open skies of California, Miami or the Gold Coast and that sense of being 'lost in the crowd', those times where you're not alone physically, but it feels like you might as well be... Best way I can describe it if I stop to do so, and probably the best I can explain why I keep coming back to listen again...
Start playing this song at 11:59:31 on New Years Eve, so he says "That's a pretty fucking fast year flew by" at exactly midnight. Start your year properly Edit: Set your alarms boys, we're going in. Edit 2: Fuck I forgot
"That's a pretty fucking fast year flew by" Blonde is already 1 year old today. Time flies. Edit: Damn it’s already been 6 years. Still my favorite album ever. Hope y’all have a great day. Edit 2: franklin i swear to god if you go an entire decade without releasing an album i will break into homer hq and steal every single cock ring
That’s a pretty fuckin fast year flew by… damn man 2022. A lot changed for me this year. I’ve lost weight, I’ve gained muscle. I’ve grown as a person. I’ve lost people, I’ve made friends, I’ve learned so much and I’m glad I’m here rn in my car, sober and home and safe after coming from a friends New Years party. It’s 12:20 am on January 1st, 2022. I’m 19. Corbin, if you read this somehow, I hope you continue to develop and grow. Keep your head up and never give up. No matter what happens.
This album reminds me sometime in my life when i was deep in this romantic melodramatic feeling, i dont think i will ever fall in love with someone like i felt for this girl
I’m in the same spot in my life rn. It’s been one week since I learned my friend(crush) already has a bf. I genuinely thought we could have been more than friends but no point in orbiting around someone who’s taken. It just hurts a little having to accept that I can’t protect her smile and laughter. I listened to this album when I started to catch feelings for her. I was so stressed cause the last time I caught feelings it didn’t end very well I was depressed for months and it was dangerous. But thankfully she’s a better person and the feelings aren’t as painful. I’m glad she is part of my life even though her stay won’t be permanent. Thank you Viky for being an amazing friend in my lonely life.
This album is just a magnificent piece of art that is too visual and always fresh to listen to. 2:46 - 2:53 That's Kendrick Lamar btw ! and this has been produced by Tyler the creator , I can even hear those synths 1:55 :P it's his style .
The first time I listened to this song I was in science class and I put my hand on my friends shoulder, told her that frank ocean is an absolute genius and cried.
i remembered the first time listening to the album...i decided to have a listen while biking in the evening...it was dim but sunny evening and as this song came i still could picture the situation that i was in at the time...cuz this song really captures that moment so well with the sunset and nature, birds and everything..and as i dove deeper in the lyrics i found out that it was exactly that.. on comes the evening, gold seeking ends, piece in my hands worth twice than a friend,
My best friend and I had a chorus competition an hour and a half away on Monday, on the way back, him and I drove down I4 (we live in Florida) and listened to this whole album because he’d never heard it before, beautiful sunset, nothing but the road ahead and this album playing, one of the best drives ever, I implore anyone who sees this to do a long drive around sundown with your friend and just listen to the album, life changing
I really love that change in the song around 0:57. It’s not particularly loud or abrupt, but the sparseness of those drums from the beginning of the song makes it feel all the more impactful. It even fits the lyrics too, with the whole idea of the “morning haunting us with the beams” being reflected in how the strings (I think?) come flooding through. They’re beautiful in their own way, but sudden and slightly disorienting.
today’s my birthday. no one remembered. not even my family, not even my close friends. literally no one. to whoever reads this - call your loved ones. please take care of them. i hope you have a great day.
i have bben listening to frank for 2 years and i just discovered this song. it feels like im stuck in a dream walking though a beatiful garden alone with his angelic music, im happy
I'll never forget running to my my ex's dorm while this song was playing over and over after hearing her tell me she might be pregnant. That feeling of wanting to move on, but at the same time wanting to run to their arms to give your love one last chance. Life is too crazy somedays.
I always liked this album a lot when it first came out, but I was not mature enough to understand what Frank was signing about. Last summer I started revisiting the album, and at the same time I met a guy that I really liked. We met each other every day and did everything together for two weeks, and even though it went by so fast it felt like we had known each other forever. I got to meet his friends and he got to meet my friends, and that is something that means a lot to Me. To be fair, I still feel like he is and was the love of my life. I have never had this strong connection with anyone. But What seperated us, was the fact that we were both going home for the summer to our parents, and he was going to study abroad for 6 years. I still miss him a lot, and I struggle to talk with other boys. The night before we went home, we were hiking and slept outside in the woods. We listened to both skyline to and self control, while watching the sunset and sunrise. I remember the exact feeling I got when I realised what these songs actually were saying (At least what They meant to me). For him it was just chill songs, but for me They Are special. I still cant listen to them without crying. I hope it hets better and I can be stronger. I just want to thank Frank Ocean for making Me feel so much. I have always been a boy who was afraid to cry. So thank Frank.
Just to let you guys know the reason why you feel so floaty and warm during the synths @ 1:43 it’s because it’s actually the heart frequency 🤍 I forgot the Hz though 🥺
It’s been one week since I learned my friend(crush) already has a bf. I genuinely thought we could have been more than friends but no point in orbiting around someone who’s taken. It just hurts a little having to accept that I can’t protect her smile and laughter. I listened to this album when I started to catch feelings for her.

Thank you Viky for being an amazing friend in my lonely life. 10:54pm Dec,19,23 Tuesday
the best song on the album, i literally cried to this song, its so warm and sad at the same time, and it helps me through some moments in my life, it feels like summer was gonna end
This is joy, this is summer Keep alive, stay alive Got your medal on, we're alone Making sweet love, takin' time "Look guys, Jacksons!" That's a pretty fucking fast year flew by That's a pretty long third gear in this car Glidin' on the five The deer run across, kill the headlights Pretty fucking Underneath moon light now Pretty fucking Sunrising, sand, comes a morning, haunting us with the beams So it ain't as far as it used to be It begins to blur, we get older (Blur!) Summer's not as long as it used to be Everyday counts like crazy (Smoke, hazy) Wanna get soaked? Wanna film a tape on the speed boat? We smell of Californication, strike a pose Everything grows in the Congo Everything grows Can you call when I call again? On comes the evening Both seeking ends Peace in my hands worth twice than a friend And two limbs over shoulder, carry the way Because I'm stronger, congo is damned (smoke) In comes the morning (smoke) In comes the morning (haze)
This song progressively gets a magical feeling. The way instruments (the voice became an instrument too) are used and put together in this album is really fantastic. 😭💯
Its been too long since i listened to this and I found it at the perfect time. Really been feeling confused lately about what/who i am and what Im doing. I remember I the one of the first time I listened to this i was on break from community college taking a walk at my grandparents house on the Westbank outside of New Orleans. Now its been a decade since I graduated HS. My grandparents are both alot older and this saddens me. Ive grown alot since 2017 but seemingly picked up a lot of unneeded baggage that I feel weighed down by now. This is only a song and an album, but its so much more. it's so timeless. It really makes me check in w my self and my heart like no other album can
I love you all. 2024 baby. I remember listening to this whole album off 3 geltabs with my girlfriend in high school senior year summer. Miss being an innocent little boy.
one of the best on the album by far and it’s so underrated. i love how the song starts calm and slowly develops and the harmonies towards the end god damn 😩
The thing I love about this song, Siegfried, and Pretty Sweet is that they are the 3 underdogs of the album, but that’s what somebody would think listening to the album for the first time. If you keep listening at some point each song at different times in your life will click and it will be the most amazing feeling and melody you will ever hear. That’s why Frank is so masterful at what he does
This is joy, this is summer Keep alive, stay alive Got your metal on, we're alone Making sweet love, takin' time 'Til God strikes us That's a pretty fucking fast year flew by That's a pretty long third gear in this car Glidin' on the five The deer run across, kill the headlights Pretty fucking, underneath moonlight now Pretty fucking, sunrise in sight In comes the morning, haunting us with the beams Solstice ain't as far as it used to be It begins to blur, we get older (Blur!) Summer's not as long as it used to be Everyday counts like crazy (Smoke, haze) Wanna get soaked? Wanna film a tape on the speed boat? We smell of Californication Strike a pose Everything grows in the Congo Everything grows Can you come when I call again? On comes the evening, gold seeking ends Piece in my hands worth twice than a friend And two limbs over shoulder, carried away Because I'm stronger and the Congo is dim (smoke) In comes the morning (smoke) In comes the morning (haze)
God I cant believe I slept on this one for so long. Was listening to the album all the way through while playing Minecraft and 2:11 made me completely stop what I was doing and just listen
“Summers not long as it used to be” That line really hits me in the gut every time #nostalgia
Who the fook are you same because summer isn’t as long as it used to be as like for me when I was younger
ikr it used to feel so long and now everyday go's by so quick cause we all grow older dang i miss back then
same we were blinded by the world sometimes its okay not to be "woke" I just miss the long hot summer days outside playing on the playground hanging with friends wishing i was grown lool
Global warming

This song sounds like the end of summer and the beginning of fall. That weird feeling of melancholy that hits you out of nowhere when things were going just fine.
omg this is literally me right now 😭 and it’s the end of summer and beginning of fall soon too
sup durk
I don't take it as sadness, I embrace the future of more beautiful music like this to come. Congrats on your career and keep it up. looking forward to hearing a colab with you and Frank one day.
Last day of summer...
exactly!!!
Since you decided to read the comments... Welcome to the most underrated song on the album
always strive and prosper this isn’t very underrated. just that people don’t take the time to listen to the rest of frank’s songs because they’ll only listen to such songs that are overplayed. fake fans man.

this one is so good too.
@@p1ckleluvr You just said it not underrated and then went on to say the exact definition of something being underrated... no hate I'm just confused
the last half of this track cannot be described by words
Uuuuuuuiiiiiiuuuuuuuu uuuuuuiiiiiuuuuuu iiiiuuuu
Done.

ever been to the beach early in the morning? like 7 am? that feeling but it’s summer and the water is cold
Amen to that Captain Haddock
You goat for this
This is such a good description of it
I really liked your Smiths description
I just wanna find someone to drive with and vibe tf out to this album
same i wish i could drive.
I want to find someone in general.
@@deanmarshallshalabi It be like that :(
Facts gets me in my bag😭😭
Lets all meet each other and vibe with this song
This song is so underrated in the album, it's one of my favorites

Idk why but I’m pretty sure that this what a dream sounds like
Simon cowell tRu
Yes!
Lmao
Exactly. I was thinking the same thing too.
Omg yesss
I wish the instrumental at 1:43 lasted longer, feels like im floating through space every time I play it in my car.
Yessss omg
It makes me melt, i love it so much. I get so sad when I hear it though :(
i wish i have a car
Seems like a Plantasia reference... listen it
listen to Brian Eno
Start playing this song at 11:59:31 on New Years Eve, so he says "That's a pretty fucking fast year flew by" at exactly midnight. Start your year properly
Edit: Set your alarms boys, we're going in.
Edit 2: Fuck I forgot
someone pls remind me
Remind me in 5-6 months
i love you
2020...
Lol
2:43 is just heaven.
ayah I get chills when I hear it. It’s so beautiful
This is where my soul left my body
When people say “who do you wanna run over with a toyota?” I say Ice Age Baby, fuck that ugly nigga
Skipper agreed
"That's a pretty fucking fast year flew by"
Blonde is already 1 year old today. Time flies.
Edit: Damn it’s already been 6 years. Still my favorite album ever. Hope y’all have a great day.
Edit 2: franklin i swear to god if you go an entire decade without releasing an album i will break into homer hq and steal every single cock ring

I am mesmerized by the last half of this song.
Ethan F. Same
This man will always be known as ahead of his time, this and the album is beyond anything I’ve ever heard
ara is sleepy Listen to Dark side of the moon by pink floyd. The instrumentals and visuals on that album are the best all time.

Frank Tyler Kendrick. Hidden gem here.
BuckMarley BLUR, SMOKE, HAZE... not really a feature lol
What did kendrick do here?
dont forget A$AP Rocky
@@skre5567 BLUR,SMOKE,HAZE is kendricks vocal
@PCP mixed w Ice tea yes it is. the ascap notes reveal that kendrick had additional vocals as well as writer credits on the song
This song is ssssooo underrated
the best and the most underrated song on the album.
Seriously bro..
I think self control is the only song that can top this
This song feels like the end of an endless summer
Favorites are Nights, Self Control, Sigfreid, and Solo. Hell, all of them are good!!
this song makes me feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud
This is one of the best songs of all time and I am amazed how underrated this is!!!
So metro, emotional and classy simultaneously
never heard of anyone describing music as metro. but it makes so much sense to me
@@leonivanka6656 feel what I mean
@@prathamnaik8501 yuh
summer 16 :( i miss it so much
me too :(
right?
It's never coming back :(
It might be time to move on. This fucking sucks.
That year was trash
ItsEli Everything exept for the music was trash
HOW is this song being brushed past by everyone? It is SO good it’ll be my top song on Spotify wrapped this year for sure
What did your wrap look like?
it was my top song 2023 lol
1:44 . DUDE THE FEELS AND VIBE
produced by ty 🤩
hannah ‘ ima be honest i saved that time just so i could get to it faster.
Why is this song so amazingly HAUNTING??? omg
the rising synth at 1:41 is everything.
No, increasing the volume too high won't hurt my ears, they'll hurt my heart.
That’s a pretty fuckin fast year flew by… damn man 2022. A lot changed for me this year. I’ve lost weight, I’ve gained muscle. I’ve grown as a person. I’ve lost people, I’ve made friends, I’ve learned so much and I’m glad I’m here rn in my car, sober and home and safe after coming from a friends New Years party. It’s 12:20 am on January 1st, 2022. I’m 19. Corbin, if you read this somehow, I hope you continue to develop and grow. Keep your head up and never give up. No matter what happens.
Hope you're doing well homie 🫂
Fun fact: Tyler the Creator did the drum programming for this track.
FruckFilms there aren’t any though haha
there are some drums in the song, they are like some minuscules kicks, it feels like some heartbeats on the second verse.
you must listen to dissect!!
there is a low filtered drum break and I love them a lot, a lot of character, so don't play yourself
and helped write
This album reminds me sometime in my life when i was deep in this romantic melodramatic feeling, i dont think i will ever fall in love with someone like i felt for this girl
😔😔
thank you i hate you i hate you 0:47
I’m in the same spot in my life rn. It’s been one week since I learned my friend(crush) already has a bf.

@@caiolucas683 yes. Thank you I hope you find peace
This album is just a magnificent piece of art that is too visual and always fresh to listen to. 2:46 - 2:53 That's Kendrick Lamar btw ! and this has been produced by Tyler the creator , I can even hear those synths 1:55 :P it's his style .
Shon riddick Kendrick was harmonizing with Frank? Or was it the smoke and haze part?
Incognito Life yea he is harmonising with Frank, the haze part.
Shon riddick wow, I didn't think Kendrick could harmonize like that, that's crazy
I knew it was Tyler with those catchy ass synths
Its not kendrick lol
The first time I listened to this song I was in science class and I put my hand on my friends shoulder, told her that frank ocean is an absolute genius and cried.
Probably my favorite song out of Pink + White, Nights, Ivy, and White Ferrari. My favorite part is the harmony and the end. Very well done!
YES ♡♡♡
i remembered the first time listening to the album...i decided to have a listen while biking in the evening...it was dim but sunny evening and as this song came i still could picture the situation that i was in at the time...cuz this song really captures that moment so well with the sunset and nature, birds and everything..and as i dove deeper in the lyrics i found out that it was exactly that..
on comes the evening,
gold seeking ends,
piece in my hands worth twice than a friend,
Such a beautiful masterpiece. This song belongs in a museum.
0:55 i come back for this part all the time
came here for the whole song
RIGHT
this is my favourite song in the whole entire world. i can’t believe it exists.
okay but 1:41 tho i wish they extended that part a bit longer 🥺 i felt like my soul was transported to another life it took my breath away
This song makes me cry. The lyrics, the music; everything is so beautiful.
My best friend and I had a chorus competition an hour and a half away on Monday, on the way back, him and I drove down I4 (we live in Florida) and listened to this whole album because he’d never heard it before, beautiful sunset, nothing but the road ahead and this album playing, one of the best drives ever, I implore anyone who sees this to do a long drive around sundown with your friend and just listen to the album, life changing
the love i have for this song alone is unworldly
one of my fav tracks
1:41 is so chill..
I really love that change in the song around 0:57. It’s not particularly loud or abrupt, but the sparseness of those drums from the beginning of the song makes it feel all the more impactful.

This songs gives me goosebumps
i have bben listening to frank for 2 years and i just discovered this song. it feels like im stuck in a dream walking though a beatiful garden alone with his angelic music, im happy
Ok but that drowned out drums at 0:26 is amazing imo
I'll never forget running to my my ex's dorm while this song was playing over and over after hearing her tell me she might be pregnant. That feeling of wanting to move on, but at the same time wanting to run to their arms to give your love one last chance. Life is too crazy somedays.
Listening to this song with headphones for the first time was like hearing it for the first time all over again…
The first song I played to my first love.
Cherie Amaro thats so sweet
I played this song when bashing Ice Age Baby with a shovel. Good times
Why is this song so underrated? the vocals are amazing and the melody sounds so angelics
Frank is literally a person God uses to speak to humanity. Saying bitches ain't shit, love isn't worth it if you are gonna be depressed after.
During times of sadness or in general, it’s great to reflect on the past and this song does exactly that.
Summer of 2015. This song wasn’t out then but I think about that summer when I listen to this song. And fuck dude.. time flies .
fucking hell this song is all about summer of ‘15 for me too ☹️
hannah ‘ 1:43-2:11 just has that really nostalgic feel and it’s saddening
brooooo shit makes me cry
hannah ‘ bro 😭
Lyrics are so good in this song damn

Man i know exactly what you mean
Just to let you guys know the reason why you feel so floaty and warm during the synths @ 1:43 it’s because it’s actually the heart frequency 🤍 I forgot the Hz though 🥺
1bpm average? Tf
2:40 chills man
Listening to this still on 2020 and I can clearly remind the dark nights back on 2017...

"Here comes the morning aaaaah" literally the most beautiful thing i've ever heard
“That’s a pretty fucking fast year flew by” hits different now days since we are so close to 2024
the best song on the album, i literally cried to this song, its so warm and sad at the same time, and it helps me through some moments in my life, it feels like summer was gonna end
why am I crying
SirDushon same
The real question is:
Why WOULDN’T you be crying?
I Love You Frank You're A Legend Thanks For Blessing Us With Your Creativity And Art Over These Years God Bless You Man🙏🏾💖🪐✨🦋🌍
This is joy, this is summer
Keep alive, stay alive
Got your medal on, we're alone
Making sweet love, takin' time
"Look guys, Jacksons!"
That's a pretty fucking fast year flew by
That's a pretty long third gear in this car
Glidin' on the five
The deer run across, kill the headlights
Pretty fucking
Underneath moon light now
Pretty fucking
Sunrising, sand, comes a morning, haunting us with the beams
So it ain't as far as it used to be
It begins to blur, we get older (Blur!)
Summer's not as long as it used to be
Everyday counts like crazy (Smoke, hazy)
Wanna get soaked?
Wanna film a tape on the speed boat?
We smell of Californication, strike a pose
Everything grows in the Congo
Everything grows
Can you call when I call again?
On comes the evening
Both seeking ends
Peace in my hands worth twice than a friend
And two limbs over shoulder, carry the way
Because I'm stronger, congo is damned (smoke)
In comes the morning (smoke)
In comes the morning (haze)
the seamless transition into self control is one of the best things i’ve ever heard
This song progressively gets a magical feeling. The way instruments (the voice became an instrument too) are used and put together in this album is really fantastic. 😭💯
This song is so slept on
Every second of this song gives me goosebumps
Just did it y’all. Went into 2021 with “that’s a pretty fuckin fast year flew by” right at midnight. Let’s make 2021 FUCKING GREAT!!!!
the most underrated song on this album facts 💿🛸⚡️
Its been too long since i listened to this and I found it at the perfect time. Really been feeling confused lately about what/who i am and what Im doing. I remember I the one of the first time I listened to this i was on break from community college taking a walk at my grandparents house on the Westbank outside of New Orleans. Now its been a decade since I graduated HS. My grandparents are both alot older and this saddens me. Ive grown alot since 2017 but seemingly picked up a lot of unneeded baggage that I feel weighed down by now. This is only a song and an album, but its so much more. it's so timeless. It really makes me check in w my self and my heart like no other album can
I love you all. 2024 baby. I remember listening to this whole album off 3 geltabs with my girlfriend in high school senior year summer. Miss being an innocent little boy.
Hands down the most beautiful song ever
oh my god. IM CRYING THIS IS PERFECT
1:33 Ooooo can you come when i call again HITS EVERYTIME
My favourite song of all the album
one of the best on the album by far and it’s so underrated. i love how the song starts calm and slowly develops and the harmonies towards the end god damn 😩
this song is criminally underrated
The thing I love about this song, Siegfried, and Pretty Sweet is that they are the 3 underdogs of the album, but that’s what somebody would think listening to the album for the first time. If you keep listening at some point each song at different times in your life will click and it will be the most amazing feeling and melody you will ever hear. That’s why Frank is so masterful at what he does
The ending has the biggest eargasm
I’ve cried in this songs arms so many times.
Thank you Frank Ocean For Helping me Through with Life.
1:43 is just unmatched. The production transcends me 🌞this is joy this is summer
1:31 OOOHHHOOOHHH SOUNDS SOOO GOOD
Oh my gosh, still to this day this song just fills my body with goosebumps. such an amazing song.
This is joy, this is summer
Keep alive, stay alive
Got your metal on, we're alone
Making sweet love, takin' time
'Til God strikes us
That's a pretty fucking fast year flew by
That's a pretty long third gear in this car
Glidin' on the five
The deer run across, kill the headlights
Pretty fucking, underneath moonlight now
Pretty fucking, sunrise in sight
In comes the morning, haunting us with the beams
Solstice ain't as far as it used to be
It begins to blur, we get older (Blur!)
Summer's not as long as it used to be
Everyday counts like crazy (Smoke, haze)
Wanna get soaked?
Wanna film a tape on the speed boat?
We smell of Californication
Strike a pose
Everything grows in the Congo
Everything grows
Can you come when I call again?
On comes the evening, gold seeking ends
Piece in my hands worth twice than a friend
And two limbs over shoulder, carried away
Because I'm stronger and the Congo is dim (smoke)
In comes the morning (smoke)
In comes the morning (haze)
This album is way ahead of its time
Whole album 💿 is incredible 🔥
“This is joy this is summer.”
Gets me every time.
Favorite track on the album
God I cant believe I slept on this one for so long. Was listening to the album all the way through while playing Minecraft and 2:11 made me completely stop what I was doing and just listen
God bless this album!!!
