This song is so meaningful to me because my mom and dad died in a car crash when I was 2 years old so it's very comforting for him to say "your mother would be proud of you"
This song always resonates with me because currently my mother is battling cancer & I know she’d be proud of everything I’ve overcome and have done; all my accomplishments, accolades, everything. I love her so much & this song comforts me.
was listening to this this morning while getting ready for school and I just started crying. that "i bet your mother would be proud of you" hit hard. For her to be proud of me is all i want. also it sounds like he lost his mother and that hurts my heart.
To me the lyrics mean despite brothers eyes being cold, sisters womb being bare, etc that they are still human and he believes their mother would still be proud of them. And wether that is actually true or just something you tell yourself to make you feel better, it still beautiful.
I’m so so deeply sorry for your loss. I have also lost my uncle to suicide, and it is very hard. But you will get through it no matter what. Just let God take the wheel, and you’ll be alright. I hope your healing❤️
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 can’t believe I forgot about such a beautiful song. I remember hearing it in high school for the first time and playing it back to back until I couldn’t listen to it any longer. What such a beautiful time in my life, I miss it so very much. Haven’t been that happy since
@@alyssabrimhall1660 no it was just greyed out one day 😓 I’ve just seen people hypothesizing that it might be due to copyright/licensing issues since it wasn’t released as part of a studio album, or bc it was for Django but got cut. I heard it sampled in Drake’s new album and it reminded me how much I love it. So this will have to do for now I guess
@@alyssabrimhall1660 it’s because is technically unreleased it was supposed to be used for a Quentin Tarantino movie but it was cut because there wasn’t a good spot for it and this song is too good to be used without a good purpose
this song has literally contributed to saving my life. remember that at the end of the day we are all human. we all are deserving of love. and no matter what box people try to fit you in to, you have an alternative route. you don’t have to live a life of pride and achievement. you can live a life of love and humility. in fact that’s the best way to live. i love you. no matter who you are and what hand you were dealt, ur human. that’s what this song means to me
the way this song makes you feel so nostalgic yet so sad is insane. the only person who can make you experience these feelings is frank ocean. cant wait for the new drop, i love him.
I feel like a lot of dads going through a hard time need to hear this. no matter what kind of man you are. You’re a man. We’re men. We can’t let that die. You can’t let that die.
“Wiseman" is a reflective song that explores themes of grief, injustice, and revolution, particularly during slavery. He shares his thoughts on how slavery deeply affected people, focusing on its impact on families. Personally, I interpret this song as a reflection on grief. It evokes questions about mourning, masculinity, and your pain with helping others. The main question being: is my mother proud? The song opens with "Wiseman closed his mouth, madman closed his fist," which contrasts wisdom with violence. He suggests that wise people choose silence, while the reckless choose aggression. This sets the tone for the song, which explores the choices people make during conflict. Also a key theme in the song is that no one is inherently evil. Frank sings, "Bad man don' exist, no. No evil man exists" He questions the idea of good versus evil. People are just "flesh and blood," and society expects them to hide their pain, as shown by the line "Sad man cannot cry in the place where man can see." Sonically, the song is simple and minimal, which makes the strong lyrics stand out. The calm, basic sound fits the thoughtful mood and helps the listener focus on the message. Personally I think it's one of his best songs and I cannot stop listening to it.
This is my comfort song and I would listen to it on spotify by Ocean Ocean - Wiseman and today it got removed off of it.. I have found the same song from other people but it is still sad. This song is magical and 4 eva my favv!
This song put me in emotional state cause when u listened to the words of the song it's more to it some people that's going through it right now would understand these lyrics
For me this song hits a little bit different than most. I’m not sure what the true meaning of this art piece is but I’ve never had a good relationship with my mother despite being the first born. My siblings on the other hand always had her love and support. Listening to this song it made me think about how I didn’t have that support and love but at the same time it makes me happy that my siblings do and I know NO MATTER WHAT that even if my mother isn’t proud of them, I ALWAYS will be ❤
❤why is this song so good? Sad men cannot cry , wow frank? 😢 this is a masterpiece. Reminding me how we should appreciate our moms is something else Mr but you just know how to. I wish my brother was here😪😭😭😭
@@Dseeswhy its not but read the orignal description of the record on genius, the intial purpose for him writing it was for Tarantino hence the lyrical content and and people relegated it to being hypothetically "the scrapped end credits scene" for Django presumably because people thought if it would've been in the final cut, there wouldnt be a better place itd fit.
i come back to this song to think about the guy that i kissed at the movies, i think im in love with him, but idk if he loves me so every time i think about him i play this song! I love you frankieee thanks for helping me get through this!!!!
I still think it was a massive disservice that Quentin Tarantino didn’t allow this to be played during Django unchaineds credits. It’s been over a decade lol. I believe this song was made for the movie and he “couldn’t find a place for it”

This is the first song to show up on my UA-cam after I found out my uncle committed suicide. This song will forever be a comfort to me now.
I'm sorry.

I’m so so deeply sorry for your loss. I have also lost my uncle to suicide, and it is very hard. But you will get through it no matter what. Just let God take the wheel, and you’ll be alright. I hope your healing❤️

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
shut up
shut up 🙏
Thank uuu 🤎
Thanks :))

never met my mom till I was 16
man this song is amazing. and drake really did something with sampling it. 🙌🏼 both great artists. i am just thankful that i can hear both of them.
the original love to end all loves that ever existed in the history of love 💞
Barry White, Bryan Adams, Nat King Cole, for just starters in musical history
@@martinplatts6922 true. But Frank is a good musician for this generation
Beautiful track. Powerful and wise words in a song. Big up Frank Ocean
❤why is this song so good?
Sad men cannot cry , wow frank? 😢 this is a masterpiece.
Reminding me how we should appreciate our moms is something else Mr but you just know how to.
I wish my brother was here😪😭😭😭
Can’t believe I never sat with this song.
The hardcore punk rework of this that Frank did at Coachella 23 was so fucking sick oh my GOD.
RIGHT.
Reminded me of Joy Division in the first part.
i really like that version the same way i like this version as well. it’s amazing to see frank experimenting his old songs with different genres
3:00am listening to this for the thousandth time 🥹 absolute magiccc
The song is too good that there wasn't a scene in django for this song
i love this song to my core.
This song just kicks in there’s something about it to make it so good
This not being on Spotify should be illegal
wow how could I forget about this masterpiece 🥺🧡
It's perfect, heavenly
I remember hearing this for the first time in the ending of southpaw and got chills, what a beautiful song man
Came here after drake sampled, cant believe it’s the first time hearing this masterpiece 😭
drake did this song justice man i love both version so much
Honestly he was floating so hard it brought me here bruh 🦉🙏🏾
Naa the reason I’m listening to this is because of frank… if drake wouldn’t of sampled this
it just would have been another drake song !
no
this is such a beautiful song
masterpiece
Might be the greatest song of all time
Every time I hear Frank Ocean I just want to hear more music from him.
I just watched dead friend forever and this song ran through my mind and soul for two days this quenched the pain a little bit... I'm proud of Non
