This is so beautiful because we all know it's about him meeting the love of his life, but there are no lyrics, so instead we are left to interpret everything ourselves, so we each think about how we met the loved one in our life, imagining the smiles, laughs, even singing to this song as if there were lyrics, this is all for love, we can decide how he met your momma or " our momma " in the perspective of the child
TheTinyTimmyTimTim That ain't reaching, music can speak for itself without a singer. Sure it isnt as immediate to your mind as lyrics might be, but music does communicate ideas if you sit and listen to it rather than you place it in the background while doing other such this as daily chores and activities. Try actively listening to something that doesn't have lyrics. You might find your enjoyment of the music is elevated.
This actually sounds like a song that would play to a montage of two people falling in love. Thats why i fuck with this song so much. The choir, the guitar, the little xylophone melody, the solo how it gets more intense as it goes on? Great instrumental track
Maybe the solo represents the intensity (maybe like some arguments based on how it growls in the middle) but eventually it fades back into the same sweet melody.
Parliament and Funkadelic, though made up of the same core members and George at the helm, made diversely different albums. track right here, with that dripping wet, sexy guitar is very, very Funkadelic.
This song reminds me when I met this girl, we spent all night talking and talking. It was something, she is special. We broke up about 7 month ago, and this song makes me think things like "what if". Oh boy, I miss her.
The Night Me and Your Mama Met - Live Lyrics [Verse] I used to play the fool all by myself It used to make me feel real good I used to eat my food all by myself I used to do the dishes too I used to break your heart all by myself I used to be the only one around [Hook 1] Be yourself, there's no understanding something that happened that night Be yourself, there's no understanding, no no no There is no understanding, no [Guitar Solo] [Hook 2] Be yourself, there's no understanding something that happened that night Be yourself, there's no understanding, no There is no understanding Be yourself, there's no understanding, no No understanding what happened that night, baby Be yourself, there's no understanding, no Oh, there is no With you, with you
Thinking about his son getting older and listening to this song makes me want to cry😭😭and plus it being called "the night me and your mama met" is even better
This song really takes you through all his emotions he was feeling when he met the love of his life and it translates it through music. Beautiful, beautiful music.
I'm so glad someone is channeling this vibe in this age. This guy is proper. This feels real, it's not image, it's not imitation it's doesn't feel forced or put on, his vocals on this album are on point and does justice to the energy. This is fucking gold.
One of the best tributes to Funkadelic ever. That and John Frusciante's "Before the beginning". Donald Glover, I'm falling in love with you more every second.
Amongst the best of this year most def. Might even be growing towards one of my favorite records of the century already, I'm digging it so much, nothing but moving vibrations
Damn, I fell in love with someone back in 2016 the same time this record came out. We listened to the whole thing while enjoying ourselves on psychs and here I am five years later without him missing what I felt back then. The feeling of home, how I could perfectly fit next to his neck when we hugged, and just simply everything we experienced during those five years. I thought he was the one, but in retrospect I am better off without him. Sad to see all that time "wasted" (even tho I know it wasn't) and have beautiful records like these remind of those times. Time heals all.
Jesus, tina This really has me reminiscing our three years together, up and downs to smiles and frowns, to nothing now… I love you… wish you the best and may we cross paths again in the future life ahead of us.
Childish Gambino enlisted Gary Clark Jr to bring this moment in time to life because he knew he was the only one that could give it that raw, unadulterated funk that it needed. This is what being a selfless musician is all about. The vision, baby.
This song just makes me want to have a child so we can run around in fields of flowers and happy shit, just to make a video with this song in the background.
If you’ve not heard Maggot Brain by Funkadelic (the song that originally inspired this awesome song) check it out. You will hear how heavily influenced by Eddie Hazels guitar and George Clinton’s production he is.
Godbino is truly an artist, y'all don't realize that not only did he drop a song or album but he dropped a vibe, a new wave. You're not listening to music you're listening to feeling! And anyone whos ever felt affection and love can vibe to this because if I had to describe love then this is my go to. This is what love sounds like. God damn. This man channeled gods when creating this album. The true GOAT. Putting people on music that they didn't even know they liked.
Gary Clark Jr, is a beast on the guitar. He basically played this like Eddie Hazel on Maggot Brain by Funkadelic and draws the curtain on this album with pure perfection. Stand tall is an encore track in my eyes
This song reminds me of finding that special someone and for me that's a little upsetting. I remember feeling all of the emotions that this song reminds me of and I remember us slowly falling more and more in love and when it ended I couldn't help but think back to how i felt and even still feel now and I see the love that we shared. And I just sit there and wonder what happened
Their will NEVER be a song that hits this hard. It gives us all our own story. Our own meeting, heartbreak, feeling free, letting go all in every single persons own head. This song forces us to remember everything and it’s the fucking BEST.
I'm so happy Dan recommended Childish Gambino in his live show. Thanks to him I've found this and I absolutely love this unique style of music. It's definitely art.
The PBS documentary on Muhammad Ali used the song “The night me and your mama met”. It was played in the background as it showed his funeral procession. So ethereal … what a wonderful backdrop to the outpouring of love that was displayed on screen during this sequence. Brad
He's dropped like 4-5 rap albums, more than enough rap material to jam to. This man has came a long way in his music career. Also check out So Fly by Gambino, he's had this music in him for a long time.
NO ONE I've ever heard and I mean NO ONE has feel like Gary Clark Jr. he makes the guitar fucking scream in a way NOBODY has ever been able to do. I mean it. Only matched by Hendrix. Absolute god.
My heart… I felt every emotion. How can a song say so much but have no words ? This represents love at every stage. Love at first sight, the complications in between, the frustration and pain and then finally the resolution and peace
Donald Glover where ever you are, I need to thank you for this song because it's how I know my type of love is real. I wish the best and then some for you and they mama.
this whole album has cleared my skin, payed my rent, cleaned my kitchen and shown me the light of god
lmbo
✋✋✋testify
All in one night lol
Has it watered your crops?
lassy grd so sege😂
This is so beautiful because we all know it's about him meeting the love of his life, but there are no lyrics, so instead we are left to interpret everything ourselves, so we each think about how we met the loved one in our life, imagining the smiles, laughs, even singing to this song as if there were lyrics, this is all for love, we can decide how he met your momma or " our momma " in the perspective of the child
I am Kazzam don't dislocate your shoulder reaching that far.
TheTinyTimmyTimTim That ain't reaching, music can speak for itself without a singer.

Try actively listening to something that doesn't have lyrics. You might find your enjoyment of the music is elevated.
Well, Glover is expecting his first child, so this could be dedicated to him/her.
DatsBoCrapp His girlfriend had the baby already. Earlier this year.
Oh cool
These songs are 10x better when I think about them being for his son, and imagining him growing up listening to these.
chef is that you ?
I like to believe he is just dissing someone's mama
It's like he reached into his heart and dropped this album on a plate for us all and said "bone apple teeth."
Sick Sad World this comment🍖🍎👄 ............ love.
Sick Sad World That's Exactly What Happened
wha? how's that offensive? just shut up and enjoy the vibes man.
but that's offensive actually there's a lot of variations to that like "blonde amputee," or "bone anvil cheek."
Sick Sad World Alonzo Lerone!!!!
This is the sweetest Yo Mamma joke ever.
Take 900 ayyy I saw your comment on the other songs 😂 we so early
Ikr but I like him as my dad so no worries
Take 900 that's not what the albums about.
No shit^^
Darru Won1 *[something something] bino daddy [mutter mutter]*
This actually sounds like a song that would play to a montage of two people falling in love. Thats why i fuck with this song so much. The choir, the guitar, the little xylophone melody, the solo how it gets more intense as it goes on? Great instrumental track
Say it then!
It's called a Glockenspiel
Amen to that, this song goes just perfectly
Maybe the solo represents the intensity (maybe like some arguments based on how it growls in the middle) but eventually it fades back into the same sweet melody.
The solo still gets me after all this time lol
he said nothing, but spoke volumes...
bro its 3:30 in the morning for me, niggas trying to sleep and you go ahead and drop an album
Francisco Olivera you are not alone
It was dropped at 12 on Spotify.
Francisco Olivera "they gon find you, gon catch you sleepin"
Francisco Olivera 3:30 am? Your ass shoulda been sleep
CallMeINFiNiTi i know bro, but how could i with a new ablum out
So cool of him to put his whole album on UA-cam. Makes me want show support and buy it.
Tony Osha do it
most artist do that. UA-cam still makes them money like any streaming service.
Tony Osha I pre ordered on iTunes
Cop it fam
he did that because he didnt make a lot of album sales this is the last straw to earn money of this somewhat bad album.
bad? why do you think this album is bad?
I need this album on vinyl
Yes.
agreed
i have buy that is awesome
I just got it today
Best decision to get it
The Funkadelic influence is ALL over this.
Man O'Neal Along with Sly....
enoielaiei I think the Sly influence shows itself on "Baby Boy".
Man O'Neal definitely funkadelic
Man O'Neal Don't forget about Parliament...! ✊🏽
Parliament and Funkadelic, though made up of the same core members and George at the helm, made diversely different albums. track right here, with that dripping wet, sexy guitar is very, very Funkadelic.
Crying. This song makes me feel like I'm falling in love
Gaby
I fell in love with my first and this was our song
This song reminds me when I met this girl, we spent all night talking and talking. It was something, she is special. We broke up about 7 month ago, and this song makes me think things like "what if". Oh boy, I miss her.
It's not too late jimmy go out there and hit her with the "Hey .. bighead ;)" anyways hope y'all talk at least b
If you don't mind me asking, why did y'all break up?
Call her boy!! Just do it and don't think about what will happen next!
Hit her up, and tell her how you feel.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe she wasn’t the one
The Night Me and Your Mama Met - Live Lyrics
[Verse]
I used to play the fool all by myself
It used to make me feel real good
I used to eat my food all by myself
I used to do the dishes too
I used to break your heart all by myself
I used to be the only one around
[Hook 1]
Be yourself, there's no understanding something that happened that night
Be yourself, there's no understanding, no no no
There is no understanding, no
[Guitar Solo]
[Hook 2]
Be yourself, there's no understanding something that happened that night
Be yourself, there's no understanding, no
There is no understanding
Be yourself, there's no understanding, no
No understanding what happened that night, baby
Be yourself, there's no understanding, no
Oh, there is no
With you, with you
That's amazing
Thank you for this!!!
Wtf .. I felt you I felt your pain I felt you … thank you

Ya'll better recognize gary clark jr on that guitar solo
Jarod Quimson yess :))
dont know him but I appreciate him
This is a gospel choir meets western cowboys meets sci fi epic blues riff solo, FUCK YEAH, THIS MAKE MY LIFE GOOD
Thinking about his son getting older and listening to this song makes me want to cry😭😭and plus it being called "the night me and your mama met" is even better
I didn't think about that, that's a good way of looking at the song
I was just vibing towards the music and I didn't even notice that I was 3 minutes into the song with no words
Tanner love it when that happens
Was very happy to hear an instrumental on here
Dom's Sketch Cast
Why everytime I click on a song I see that handsome, beautiful face in the comment section?
Vanessa Oquendo ifkr
probably my fave track tbh
This song really takes you through all his emotions he was feeling when he met the love of his life and it translates it through music. Beautiful, beautiful music.
This song just reminds me of the phrase “I love you more than words can describe”
I swear this album is the musical embodiment of chill.
this is one of my fave tracks on the album ! so damn good .
gary clark jr. on his guitar was *U* *N* *R* *E* *A* *L* .
I'm so glad someone is channeling this vibe in this age. This guy is proper. This feels real, it's not image, it's not imitation it's doesn't feel forced or put on, his vocals on this album are on point and does justice to the energy. This is fucking gold.
I can imagine this being a beautiful music video
Son.
Let me tell you the story of...
_The Night Me and Your Mama Met_
*(Music Plays)*
Before the music cuts on tho, there'd be that old record sound when you start it up
When i read this it literally happend lmao
cringe
@@gratuitousinbliss HAHAHHA
Son, this, is how I met your' mother
9 videos in one day!!!...I wasn't ready
Jashade LoL yeah
Joe Naphtali I was too ready! lol
too ready? what happened?
This has got to be one of the most iconic albums ever, this track in particular. It reaches me to my soul.
Never listened to anything by Childish Gambino in my life until I heard this album. I am now realizing how much I have been missing out....
Connor Raabe he's a artist in it's truest sense.
Kids, in the fall of 2016, Gambino had just dropped the album of the year
more like of the decade bro ;)
Simon Rsf its winter m8
its winter where i am but i agree that it is aoty
winter starts on 21th december where i am
*21st, god did I really make that mistake
One of the best tributes to Funkadelic ever. That and John Frusciante's "Before the beginning".
Donald Glover, I'm falling in love with you more every second.
and nobody knows this!
Gary clark jr
Maggot Brain vibes in that song, i felle you @shmaef
I was looking for this comment!
I think we can all agree this album is legendary
Amongst the best of this year most def. Might even be growing towards one of my favorite records of the century already, I'm digging it so much, nothing but moving vibrations
It all makes perfect sense now..he made this album for his son, not us. Fucking genius
we just have to hope his sons understand how much of a musical genius there dad is
The lyrics in this song are so deep
no but for real tho
This song is too beautiful. My emotions are all over the place....
Damn, I fell in love with someone back in 2016 the same time this record came out. We listened to the whole thing while enjoying ourselves on psychs and here I am five years later without him missing what I felt back then. The feeling of home, how I could perfectly fit next to his neck when we hugged, and just simply everything we experienced during those five years. I thought he was the one, but in retrospect I am better off without him. Sad to see all that time "wasted" (even tho I know it wasn't) and have beautiful records like these remind of those times. Time heals all.
It’s ridiculous how good this album is all together like omg 😩🔥 but this particular song just does it for me 😩😩
Jesus, tina This really has me reminiscing our three years together, up and downs to smiles and frowns, to nothing now… I love you… wish you the best and may we cross paths again in the future life ahead of us.
I Really Just Started Crying When That Base Guitar Came In. It's Just Sounds To Good. Got Emotional. Best Album Ever!!
booy this man did his damn thing on this album, blessed my ears
I wanna cry, Gambino the goat
Childish Gambino enlisted Gary Clark Jr to bring this moment in time to life because he knew he was the only one that could give it that raw, unadulterated funk that it needed. This is what being a selfless musician is all about. The vision, baby.
This is my favorite off the album it's like going through the phases of love with the transition of sounds
The very fact that you know exactly how he feels about this woman with out words shows just how deep and beautiful this song is
Life soundtrack: have this playing when I meet my soulmate
This song just makes me want to have a child so we can run around in fields of flowers and happy shit, just to make a video with this song in the background.
This reminds me of Pink Floyd's "great gig in the sky". Thought the whole vocalizing over a track couldn't be done. This is magical
If you’ve not heard Maggot Brain by Funkadelic (the song that originally inspired this awesome song) check it out. You will hear how heavily influenced by Eddie Hazels guitar and George Clinton’s production he is.

Gary Clark Jr, is a beast on the guitar. He basically played this like Eddie Hazel on Maggot Brain by Funkadelic and draws the curtain on this album with pure perfection. Stand tall is an encore track in my eyes
It's hard to encapsulate what this song does for me.
This entire album is gonna be one of those albums that’s gonna have future generations wishing they were born in this generation
This album makes 2016 so worth it
really big Funkadelic vibe coming out of this whole album . I dig it .
This song reminds me of finding that special someone and for me that's a little upsetting. I remember feeling all of the emotions that this song reminds me of and I remember us slowly falling more and more in love and when it ended I couldn't help but think back to how i felt and even still feel now and I see the love that we shared. And I just sit there and wonder what happened
What's up with Gambino talking about my Mama in his album?
I was thinking the same thing LoL
His son's mother since he addresses it to his son.
SwimmingInSauce his new kids mama
Im not Gambinos son?????
gambino got a kid? wwwwhhaaaaaa
genuinely the most underrated song on this album. no words yet it tells a story
This song is something special. The melody reminds me of one of Red Hot Chili Peppers songs as well....
Their will NEVER be a song that hits this hard. It gives us all our own story. Our own meeting, heartbreak, feeling free, letting go all in every single persons own head. This song forces us to remember everything and it’s the fucking BEST.
Wtf man! How does this man keep making music that resonates so eloquently with my soul?
listened to this on headphones,I've found peace
9 vids?!! What. Thank you gambino.
his album is released today that's why !
Gary Clark's solo stole the show.
Perfect music for a day in the life video...
I'm so happy Dan recommended Childish Gambino in his live show. Thanks to him I've found this and I absolutely love this unique style of music. It's definitely art.
7 AM WAKING UP IN THE MORNING GOTTA GET DRE- OH SHIT NEW GAMBINO TRACKS FUCK SCHOOL!!!!!
PickleMage same.
PickleMage I literally skipped today
PickleMage I'm listening to this in school
:3
Tonybassist123 I did the same thing all day :D
This song deserves to be heard nowhere else but a chill nd relaxing place with some blunts (keep it natural ppl) don't do drugs
the guitar speaks, you don't need words...
There is something about this song, idk what it is but I just feel the emotions all over it
Anybody getting a Maggotbrain-Funkadelic vibe or a Before the beginning-John Frusciante vibe?
that's definitely what inspire the album cover too
man im seeing a ton of influence from Funkadelic on this new album
John Frusciante?
lol no but definitely some funkdelic shit going on.
Listen to Before the beginning, it's actually a tribute to Maggotbrain
Kyle Wolfreys
That's exactly what I was thinking!
I'm literally listening to all 9 of these in the dentist office lobby. That's how much this means to me. 😩
Disfigured Batman Painting and the doctors still haven't assist you?!?
When I listen to this song and close my eyes, I feel like I'm somewhere else. I love this album!
God damn I can't get over this new album. Way to reinvent yourself, Glover. Keep up the amazing work.
If this song is playing when I'm near you, I'm probably going to love you for a little bit. it makes me all warm inside
This song makes me wish there was more love like this in the world...
No lyrics were needed. This is something it burns deep down my soul, Im craying
Listening to this with my daughter in my daughter in my arms is something else...
I can’t even imagine that feeling Omg 😩I bet it was so beautiful
this brings so many memories back to me about my past. I hope one day I can have beautiful pieces of work like this for my child to cherish.
So glad I pre-ordered the exclusive shit!!! GAMBINO you gonna kill em with this one. Get ready for award season my dude!!
This album is a classic. One of the best of the decade might I say. The way the guitar bounces off the background is interstellar
this song says so much without saying anything at all.
The PBS documentary on Muhammad Ali used the song “The night me and your mama met”. It was played in the background as it showed his funeral procession. So ethereal … what a wonderful backdrop to the outpouring of love that was displayed on screen during this sequence.
Brad
I was expecting another dope rap album from CG, I'm pleasantly** ( since some people "misinterpreted it) surprised by this.
youngsoldier93 same, I was really excited, and now I am very dissapointed
G JD same
youngsoldier93 I prefer soulful gambino than rap gambino honestly. He's bringing back genres that have been forgotten
I'm disappointed. I wanted some hardcore rapping like his mixtape even though this stuff is laid back.
He's dropped like 4-5 rap albums, more than enough rap material to jam to. This man has came a long way in his music career. Also check out So Fly by Gambino, he's had this music in him for a long time.
NO ONE I've ever heard and I mean NO ONE has feel like Gary Clark Jr. he makes the guitar fucking scream in a way NOBODY has ever been able to do. I mean it. Only matched by Hendrix. Absolute god.
Ehh I'm ready for the live show.. I've to see him perform this album live ASAP 😍💕
Gary Clark Jr. will always be the man
And I'm crying! I love you Don! 😭💖
its cool that this album is for his kid when he grows up :)
R.I.P. Eddie Hazel ❤
Eddie Hazel never got the recognition he deserved :(
My heart… I felt every emotion. How can a song say so much but have no words ? This represents love at every stage. Love at first sight, the complications in between, the frustration and pain and then finally the resolution and peace
Gambino is the future of our race
yeah he is.. what do you think of this is america?
This instrumental is so fulfilled with love, beauty, soul, passion and some kind of mystery...
I don't hear words
I can only assume my mother is pregnant
Donald Glover where ever you are, I need to thank you for this song because it's how I know my type of love is real. I wish the best and then some for you and they mama.
God Bless you Gambino this is beautiful, Thank you.
I'm so used to hearing his voice through rap, but this whole album and the way it goes out of the traditional rap he does has just blown my mind
16,000 view!
THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL
this is it... the song that perfectly captures what i want to feel inside when i meet the woman of my dreams
The Gary Clark Jr guitar playing all over it!!!!
Man, I'm so glad this album was made.
