      @@AsteroidB6120 ARE YOU KIDDING? He has only "Happy"? Did you know that half of the songs in radio in 2000’s were produced by him?
      Did you know that he produced Justin Timberlake's album (Justified), Britney Spears - Slave 4u, Snoop Dogg - Drop like it's hot and Beautiful, Jay Z - Excuse me miss, Madonna - Give it to me, Kendric- Alright, etc...
      He is one of the most awarded producers in the game, he has 3 grammys as producer of the year and more as artist

    One of the most underrated songs of Pharrell. Every line of the lyric brings in a lot of empathy, emotion and a thought of how captured are each one of us in our prison. Kudos to Pharrell for such an amazing lyrics and music.

    In every shot he is so small, he doesn't care about him being seen, all he cares about is the slavery, sweatshops, child labour etc. being seen and making people aware of it. The way he contrasts the flower and the whale- things which are clearly living this 'freedom' to people who are not is incredible. This is such an underrated music video and song.

      doesnt help that rich fs like these musicians suck up wealth even further, far beyond what they possibly could need for themself
      ... but always funny when common people fall for these hypocrits who to tell the common folk to fight for others, to clean up the environment and to share wealth ... all while they refuse to do so as they fly around in their private jets, horde land for themself, take every tax loophole they can find if not crimnally avoid tax in addition and party in their mansions.

    Who cares what they know?
    Your first name is Free
    Last name is Dom
    Cause you still believe in where we're from

    It's in every living thing

    Spirit use your wings

    Run antelope
    Your first name is King
    Last name is Dom
    Cause you still believe in everyone
    When a baby first breathes
    When night sees sunrise
    When the whale hops the sea
    When man recognizes

Its a great album, but critics and many fans don't place it above innerspeaker. Kevin parker is held to a much higher standard musically than Jamie xx, which is why he is always being praised for rocking the boat so to speak.

    Hold on to me
    Don't let me go
    Who cares what they see?
    Who cares what they know?
    Your first name is Free
    Last name is Dom
    We choose to believe
    In where we're from
    Man's red flower
    It's in every living thing
    Mind, use your power
    Spirit, use your wings
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Hold on to me
    Don't let me go
    Cheetahs need to eat
    Run, antelope
    Your first name is King
    Last name is Dom
    'Cause you still believe
    In everyone
    When a baby first breathes
    When night sees sunrise
    When the whale hunts in the sea
    When man recognizes
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Breathe in
    We are from heat
    The electric one
    Does it shock you to see
    He left us the sun?
    Atoms in the air
    Organisms in the sea
    The son and, yes, man
    Are made of the same things
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Freedom
    Freedom...

      Actually most music now is empty. Sure, it's starting to grow out of it again, but can you actually say there were good songwriters that came from the '00 besides Pharrell? And I don't mean good bands or good artists, I mean good songwriters. Can you? There's a song called Superfast Jellyfish by Damon Albarn's Gorillaz that talks about it. It's all packed and ready to consume, not to think about. Sure, there are a few songwriters that are trying to peek out (Kendrick Lamar comes to mind), but not that many. So those most brilliant minds that write "ass ass ass ass ass ass" should go back and start being brilliant again, because right now they aren't being shit.

      @@bizuyurken1969 You're delusional. Or maybe you're just too naive to see that your ideals are nothing more than ideals. Respect and dominance runs the life of the wild. Same goes for mankind. Not a single nation was created through peace and not a single nation is kept protected and secure through peace. Never has and never will be. Let me educate you on something: If military influence had no part in the founding of a nation, there would be no nation. A leader is born, whom leads his/her people. Many will disagree with said leader, and seek to over throne him/her. Or maybe they want that nations resources. Or just conquer the land. Your ideals would see military assistance haulted. Which will lead to many people dieing. Results and history of both wildlifw as well as mankind speaks for itself. We are capable of "world peace". But its far far far easier and profitable to just conquer and dominate on q global scale. Nation leaders know this, whichis why something like world peace will remain an ideal.
