Wish I could hear all of Frank's music again for the first time
Same
Same bruh
Every time I hear Frank’s music it’s like hearing it for the first time.
Same man
That feeling or when it finally clicks and makes sense is better than any drug could give you
This wasn't a reaction, this was watching a man feel inner peace
My wife and I had our first dance to this song
Dalton Steede that’s truly beautiful bruh
That’s tight
Dalton Steede thats awesome dude
Honestly I aspire to have a moment/memory that romantic
Awh that's cute
Honestly sometimes I forget to listen to what Frank Ocean is saying, he manages to cause so much emotion in me with just his voice. If I take the lyrics into account too it just gets overwhelmingly beautiful. What an artist.
he didn't write this song, Moon River has been around for decades now.
@@stella9056 I didn't say he wrote it? Also, my statement wasn't specific to this song
Jack Gregory you don’t listen to Frank oceans lyrics, you feel them.
Gaming Piggiez Oompa Loompa lookin bitch relax
its not really just his voice, it's the production, the musical structure etc. there's more to being an artist than just voice and lyrics, frank takes quite a large role in these other things
If someone put a gun to my head and said "pick a song and if you can cry within 5 seconds you live", I would choose this song.
It would have to be "Good Guy" for me from blond. I can't even relate to the song but it still gets me in tears every time.
Then that person starts crying with you
Jon you look like you're gonna cry 4 seconds into the song, I love it
When this came out, my cat was dying and moon river honestly helped me get through that.. “wherever you’re going, I’m going”.. tears.
OFWG KTA Dude idk how, but every Frank Ocean song sounds like it’s a friend having a convo with you, being like “I know what you’re going through and I’m here for you”. Whenever I’m down, I turn on his music late at night and it’s like having a friend to talk you through things. It’s truly amazing.
Ive had my cat since i was 4 and she sleeps by my bed every night i left for college 4 weeks ago and shes stopped eating shes gotten really skinny my family are putting her down this friday
Its the final piece of my childhood i feel i have left and its going
Im an adult now
Life is crazy right
@@z3rker bro Blonde has helped me so much i had a hard HARDDD breakuo this summer and Blonde was like therapy
Gavin Danaher Yeah man I didn’t have a breakup, but I still had some weird relationship issue shit (very complicated) over the summer and Blonde is incredibly important in helping me through it. I can’t possibly describe how much that album, and Frank in general means to me.
@@z3rker yeah the album has everything like it reay delves into the intricacies of a modern love
I actually avoid listening to this for long periods of time, so when I come back to it, it feels like I'm listening for the first time again. I have such a strong connection to Frank's version and it reminds of a time in my life that I long to return
I do the same. I just “rediscovered” Cayendo, Dear April, and now this 🙌
This song came out on Valentine's Day of 2018, the same day as the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting, one of the kids who died, Joaquin Oliver, was a huge Frank Ocean fan, dyed his hair blonde, and the whole package. I remember scrolling through r/frankocean that morning to hear news about the song, and I then found out about Joaquin. So we all kind of decided this song was for Joaquin, it was such a beautiful moment of solidarity, I was so proud to be apart of that community. I just wanted to share a little insight about what the song means for me, it has a very special place in my heart, and genuinely makes me feel a way no other song ever has and probably ever will.
Wow that's so sad.
Frank Ocean is the best artist of this generation.
Realest thing I’ve read
Leonardo da vinci was better
On GOD
Isaac Gil I would call DiCaprio an actor, not an artist
@@lanik4072 ehh ehh wrong
Hey, Jon, There is actually one more song on Channel ORANGE. Called "Golden Girl" It was only available on the CD version. Would be great to see your reaction to it. Cheers.
inst golden girl on nostalgia, ultra album?
@@angelinaguifarro680 i dont think so? My CO CD has it too
My great grandmother Emma Kelly helped Johnny Mercer write this original song! Frank Ocean absolutely killed it.
Frank Ocean's Wiseman is a MUST, one of his most emotional songs
Alex Collins especially the Paris performance fr
Wiseman is beautiful. It makes me wonder just how Frank learned so much and had the life lessons he did. He tells stories of love, how people act, how nature works and it's all from 28 years (when blond dropped) of life.
It’s such a underrated song, and for some reason I feel like not many people actually even know about that song. I stopped telling people about it and kinda just keep it for myself, makes it feel even more special of a song haha
First heard this at the end of Episode 4 of “When They See Us”. Couldn’t have chose a more perfect song.
I'm a Stoneman Douglas student and this song hits home in so many ways. It was released the day of the shooting, and one of the victims was a massive Frank Ocean fan. I sometimes wonder if he ever got to hear it. I can clearly see that many people are touched in their own ways from the song, which goes to show just how powerful an artist like Frank is.
Wow… Thank you for sharing that 😭
goddamn. all love and thought going to you caitlin, I hope you’re doing well and the people in your life as well.
After watching "When they see us" this song starts to have a whole new meaning🤞🏽😭
on god, burst into tears hearing this when they showed the real central park 5 and the end
This cry makes me cry literally every time I listen to it.
On another note, we need Isaiah Rashad SZN... Keep you the good work
Bobby Palermo bring on the Isaiah season. I’m fucking ready!
@@mexicandemon1996 same
“There Will Be Tears” is another Frank Song you gotta hear.
Timoteo De Springpatch he reacted to nostalgia ultra, skip to 13:10 on it.
and Wise Men
@@maxorcism I doubt he will do an unreleased misc reaction, it's too hot on the copyright list. I tried uploading the full album (I would have been the first person to do it) but every song got banned in all countries lol. UA-cam cucking us out here...
this song hits even harder when you’ve watched the When They See Us series and this is the outro song. so powerful
My experience with this song is really weird, I've avoided this song since it came out (came out at a point in my life where I could avoid it very easily) until a new Frank song came about, I did the same with the blonded singles and eventually listened to all as if they were and album and the experience was amazing; eventually it became very clear that no song would come out for a while so I decided that I would save it for when I really needed new Frank. Very recently I had some personal psych issues so I popped the Moon River and I have to say, this could very easily be my favorite piece of music ever.
Please can we have a Trilogy, The Weeknd reaction
Ben Dunster Bruh that shit 3 hours long tho
Do each mixtape one by one instead
Kayde Howard Much better idea. While I loved Trilogy, it was tough to sit through 3 hours all at once. I think splitting it up into the 3 different mixtapes would be great.
To wrap up Frank Ocean season, react to Golden Girl ft Tyler, voodoo, and wiseman (a song that was suppose to be on Django, but Tarantino changed his mind because he said, it is too beautiful).
Who wants to bet he'll cry to Wiseman? 😂
Wiseman ended up on southpaw. Way better fit and slept on movie
Frank Ocean season shall never end.
It ended up at the end of south paw, the boxing movie. Wrapped up the movie beautifully in my opinion
so happy that you've become a fellow obsessive frank ocean fan. i didn't quite catch him during his lonny breaux days, but i was fortunate enough to download "nostalgia, ultra" the day it was released on the ofwgkta tumblr. that feels like a lifetime ago and i've been hanging on frank's every word ever since. i'm around your age, and i also have an eclectic music taste like yourself, and it's amazing to see you discovering frank for the first time, and reacting in the same way i do every time i hear new material from him. although not brave in the typical sense, i still think it takes a certain amount of bravery and vulnerability to allow yourself to cry on camera and then share it with the world. i watch all your reactions. keep it up, man. we need a new frank album! ps. ivy made me cry too - still does. super elliott smith vibes. how could you not?
i think you should react to this. or at least the first track. i think you'll dig it. in fact, there's no way you won't cry. the firsttrack hit me like a ton of bricks. ua-cam.com/video/n6oSeODGmoQ/v-deo.html
Frank Ocean makes me feel so many ways, only artist that has this power over me
Watching this reaction felt as if I was looking at a mirror. When listening to the song I was paralysed with a calmness, rendered still in awe of the harmonies, tone and soulfulness. I was transferred to a place of life reflection and contemplation, where will I end up, what will I do, what has got me to where I am now? Those feelings are both daunting and rare - to face such existential questions all the time would be unhealthy; nonetheless it does that to me. Few songs have that power and yet it is so brilliant I constantly press the replay button. Emotionally timeless.
Loved the reaction mate !
Hey I know I'm kinda late on this one, but I just wanted to mention that Frank released this track on valentine's day, I feel like knowing this adds to the experience
I love seeing how thoroughly you enjoy this, wish I could listen to this for the first time again
I get goosebumps at the end every time
Bro we love you! Thanks for making my day!
I was just listening to this song today. It was the first time I had done so in months. Also, I absolutely love the backdrop in this video. I'm so glad you continue to do these reactions. Your reactions are so genuine and your analyses are very down to earth.
I totally agree with you Jon mate!
He's a genius of this generation 👏🏾... stirring up all that we have and hold within us emotionally...
I was introduced to it by my youngest daughter and when my oldest daughter finally flew from the family nest... I listened to this rendition by Frank Ocean and cried til my heart's content 😢 accompanying me with comfort, sorrow, mournful and very beautiful... all at the same time in the same breath... 🙏🏾... ✌🏾
There is a song by another genius by the name of Bobby Mcferrin.
It is called Peace... which is on his very first album at the age of 29!
This song was the last song played at my beloved Father's funeral 😢... People left calmly and silently whilst remaining very respectful as he was a community man who cared enough about people and their well-being.
A song that has an old beautiful touch whilst remaining anew with its simplicity and clarity.
Sung beautifully with depth, poise and calm being humble throughout its duration.
That is my suggestion brother!
Smiles... 🔑o 🙏🏾...✌🏾
Someone already said this but process by sampha is an amazing album
When this song first drop, I listened to it and was completely moved and in love
Thank you for this video, living your experience vicariously has reminded me just how beautiful it is to discover this symphony.
First time I hear this song. I will always remember today, how I start cried as soon as he started singing.
Also as a man with severe mental health problems this son makes me drift away to the times, I fell good. But also sad, awesome reaction I could feel that, been a long time follower and continuinh, good job!
" I know what frank ocean music can do to me" yea same
Thank you John! I love your Frank videos, in fact - I only discovered you and rock reacts because a few months ago I looked up "blond review". Great to watch your channel grow and your musical taste increase. I love how quick you cover the new releases (like Babushka boy, various other singles etc) but I hope you don't push too hard! Burn out is always a problem and I would hate to see you become impassionate about music. All the best, a fan.
This song came out at a time where me and my ex first starting to get know each other and falling in love, very sentimental and beautiful song, Frank is an absolute master with these types of tracks, nice reaction man!
Not the big blue waiting music 😂😂😂
Loved the reaction! Your appreciation of frank is so REAL and we love to see it
I saw the thumbnail and was like “OH GOT DAMN”
THIS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR JON
this tune is a mesmerising piece of beauty and it lets me just relax
I've been waiting weeks for this
Don't know if anyone mentioned but the cover for this track is a visual representation of asmr phenomena, which fits very nicely for this trip
I just love how he closes his eyes probably imagining the end of a story or a movie how beautiful this song can be in many ways
Love the new set up bro!
Love ya Jon, here for the long haul
I didn't think this was going to happen!!! Thanks Jon!
We stan JD the Prophet! Great music choice as always, keep walking the path!
that laugh 2:15 its a classic frank. he'll hit the notes and youre just 'hoooOOOO'
Congratulations, you just listened to my all time favorite song 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I found this song from Doom Patrol the show, and I cried my eyes and heart out when I saw the scene, and then when I listened to the song by itself it made me cry the exact same but not because of the scene but because it related so much to my personal life
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG
RIP Guac
His music gives me so much nostalgia to the point that I end up sad and at times I cry my eyes out
Bruh for a second I thought that music playing during the second listen was what moon river sounded like sped up oh my
It’s crazy that you upload this because me & my friends met frank in nyc last weekend
Kevin Bodden sureeeeeee
oliver okay lmao
I know Jon, it hits you right in the feels!
Life's just around the bend my friend. Man the imagery
I remember listening to this song so distinctly a couple years ago. I had broken up with my boyfriend and the next day got on a flight home to see my mom. As we were taking off, this song came on my playlist and we flew over his house. So hard not to start bawling on a public flight! Love this track so much ♥️
helll yeahhhhh! I love this track
You should do A$AP Rocky - Purity ft. Frank Ocean
It's great ones like this that can make a grown man cry.
Solace by Earl Sweatshirt!!! Great, short project
This is a video I didn’t know I needed
It is engagingly haunting and a Melancholy Melody at the same time yet a Musical Masterpiece in every sense, Musiq Soulchild might be the only other artist that could have done an equal to this
I walked down the aisle at my wedding to this song 💗
this song will send chills down your spine
Ayyyyyyyyyy
For some reason i keep coming back to this video
moon river is my favorite song ever
Probably the best track for you to end the season on. Looking forward to a Frank album review in 2020? 2021?🤞🏽
Jon you really need to check out wiseman aswell if you haven’t heard it already the dark undertone to the production with that voice is such an experience
I Heard this song once. I swear it’s been on repeat for the whole day…. Well so far. Crazy good! And how I’ve never heard of frank ocean. 🙈
So good.
he wasn't ready!
I remember listening to this after listening to the BLOND album one day.... When it started I literally thought "come on Frank you can't do this to me again. I'm just coming off of BLOND."
Let’s gooooo
I’m not crying, u are
Life's just around the bend, my friend.
Amazing video again. Only song I can think of as another frank Stan is his feature on ASAP rocky - purity
That’s a definite need to listen
And RAF as well
GOLDEN GIRL and WISE MAN
Honestly the mashup between this and the ending of White Ferrari is so good that I forgot this version is the original haha, but god I love Frank's music. It just comes from a place of authenticity
trilogy- The Weeknd please
Incredible song absolutely incredible
I listened to this song on Saturday night, peaking on 200 micrograms of LSD, stargazing out in my backyard. I fucking cried for 10 minutes.
Oooof, was going thru a breakup when this shit came out. Fuckin song man.
There are some other Frank Ocean features and singles that you should check out. I'll list a couple that come to mind, in no particular order:
- Wildfire (Reprise) from John Mayer's Paradise Valley
- No Church in the Wild by Jay-Z and Kanye West
- Frank's Track By Kanye West from the Life of Pablo
- Memrise - Frank Ocean
- Wise Man - Frank Ocean
- She by Tyler the Creator
- White from the OF Tapes Volume 2
- Analog 2 also from the OF Tapes Volume 2
There's also this whole other project called "The Lonny Breaux Collection", which were essentially a number of tracks Frank demoed to other artists and producers. Some of my favorites from that:
- Acura Integurl
- Miss You So
- Rocket Love
- JOB
- Orion
- No Bonnie
I'd like to reiterate, the Lonny Breaux Collection was meant to be demos for other artist, as such it's much more traditional RnB. If nothing else, do check out Acura Integurl.
There are some live performances that would be interesting to see you react to as well:
Nikes - ua-cam.com/video/5qKP32GYiks/v-deo.html
Good Guy - ua-cam.com/video/jgNjn2b1Jl0/v-deo.html
I Miss You - ua-cam.com/video/_M-haq8EFAc/v-deo.html
Wiseman - ua-cam.com/video/2WU4DaV0yUM/v-deo.html
Summer Remains - ua-cam.com/video/DqOSaSMslwc/v-deo.html
Some of the live performances (Good Guy, I Miss You, and Wiseman) have crowd voices in them. Regardless, sometimes the live version speaks to me in ways the studio version can't.
Thank for your commitment to these videos. Always look forward to them. Moon River is a tough one for me for personal reasons and I needed those emotions unlocked.
The I miss you and wiseman is so lit for sure 😍😍😍 and also the super rich kid.
I felt the same when i heard that song for the first time. .
Not a massive fan, I'm more hip hop barfor bar genre, but this track always hit me hard don't know why, first heard it on doom patrol
Wise Man was a loosie from the Django Unchained Soundtrack (or it didn't fit the theme they wanted). You should check it out.
Could you please react to DANIEL CAESAR!!!
Jose Reyes needs to happen!!!!
Wishing one day I would be able to listen to Frank Ocean and Daniel Caesar make a song together!!
PLEASE REACT TO WISEMAN BY FRANK OCEAN
Do "Thinking about you" the SNL live version, epic stuff
Man I love the fact you got into frank ocean big time. He does not get enough credit!
@nneoma Blonde not being nominated for a Grammy is proof hes under appreciated
@nneoma the general public most likely know him as that rapper that came out as bi a few years ago his music isnt mainstream or radio in anyway
Magical song performed by a magic man.
Yep this one makes the eyes sweat
YES
This at the end of when they see us saddest shit ever
Listen to Loyle Carner, finally getting some of the recognition he deserves but still such an underrated talent
