This is how I found SZA. She was a tumblr girl and I literally thought she was one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. So cool to see how much shes grown in the industry
I'm so tired of people talking about "I miss old SZA" she is going to change, she's a human being. Expect progressiveness, she isnt gonna sound or be th he same forever.
I used to be a huge stoner last year and I listened to song everyday when I would smoke. I didn't realize until now how haunting this song is. Reminds me of how much i didn't like myself and how alone I felt. I still adore SZA, so glad she made this song. I can reflect on how far i've come as a person since last year. Thank you Solana.
@Cherie Hi friend! Well, tbh what help me stop smoking was how sick I got with myself. Instead of internalizing it and accepting as who I was. I decided that my progress was more important than getting high. I would smoke to ease my anxiety but that always meant smoking too much and getting paranoid. I operate better with a clear mind, and since im a workaholic, I knew that would be a huge driving force for me. Basically... imagine one of the biggest driving forces in your life and slowly quit it for them or it. I hope this finds you in a happy mental state. I know its hard with the corona virus, but we're going to be okay.
I love the rawness in this video. The dirty socks, clothes, fucked up iphone and the symbolism of suicide. The little details that make the whole embodiment of the video and song seem so real, like i believe everything she's saying. Very relatable.
I find it interesting because if you think about it, when people commit suicide by water they usually jump off a bridge to be killed by the impact or rocks. Or they slit their wrists and lay it in water (a tub filled). In her case, she willingly drowned herself and didn't use any other means to make her back out at the last moment. She died by suffocation of self drowning and lack of air. She held her self down underwater without any physical restraint but with only her will power or lack of there of. Many others would have re-emerged because they couldn't help but to fight against suffocation. She purified herself and peacefully crucified herself. She passed in a clean and pure way. She was meteorically crucified. Legs and arms spread except there was no need for nails restraints. That's part of what I get out of it.
Niyalaful Also think of the term Babylon . "Babylon refers to the place of captivity as well as the power structure that keeps them there" "Oh, Babylon, the whole earth has drank the madness in your wine. Now a day has come when you must pay for every crime." "praise them for bringing a new rectitude to Babylon"
Niyalaful Technically in a way. She didn't commit suicide. Purification. Death to and by purification. She freed herself from the restraints of today's society and the sins of those before her.
Cherbs turner Your point is sort of ironic. If you pass out in the sea, you'd drown due to not being aware enough to stay afloat. And I understand when you say its just a song.... but many songs are known for messages, and the most iconic can cause controversy and influence history. And even if it's "just a song" or "just" a video, if people want to have a meaningful conversation of what they believe it depicts, then let them. After all.... its "just a song" isn't it?
This is a great video. SZA herself said that this song was about rejection from her parents. So she lays objects from her life on the cardigan on the ground, calmly, systematically. (Notice how the iPhone has been smashed, from rage maybe?) The ring shows her letting go from her relationships or even giving up on the idea of love entirely. For almost the whole video she is faceless - this is how repeated bullying especially from parents makes you feel - it shrinks you and makes you anonymous. While she walks to her suicide in the lake, she looks back (the first time we see her face) is it a look of second thoughts? The suicide note at the end of the video reads "gone fishin'
When we see different expressions of ourselves, we modify our understanding of ourselves and create new concepts within our minds. To me, her music is as important as Outkast, Sade, Janelle Monae, Watch the duck, FKA twigs, In that it offers new/refreshing expressions of human nature/music. It's honest, raw, & real. I think it makes a great stride in breaking down barriers/stereotypes about (black) people & helps people rediscover themselves. And this song is dope as hell.
D. Thomas not according to the credits he didn’t. DJ Dahi did. Mac Miller produced “Ur” and “warm winds” from this project. Larry fisherman aka Mac Miller .
i wish she still made music like this. the mixtapes were top tier. my fave artist tinashe and sza both drastically changed their music once signed to big labels. sucks. used to love them sm
I honestly miss the old SZA. She’s changed so much since Z. I mean I also love where she’s gone with CTRL but there’s just something about this that just has a raw beauty without trying.
yes deffs agree with u both i love CTRL but its so much more appealed to a larger audience and like im happy for her success but i miss her back in the Z stage when like no one knew her especially all the 12vies out there lmao
PDA YESSSSSSS FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED!! I've been waiting for this for so long it's been tearing me up inside how the entire fan base has not addressed the fact that she has obviously changed tremendously since Z, and I still like Ctrl, but it's like an ENTIRE different category compared to this, if SZA had The Weeknd's fan base she would be burned at the stake lol 😂😂😂, but lucky for her she's blessed with an OVERLY loyal fan base 😂😂
@@soulremedies it's normal artists evolve change so does their art with them, she was in a diff state/phase when she did "Z" and a different one with "Ctrl" as the tone and mood of the album is different from "Z" and with her next album it would probably be different. As fans we should learn to grow with the artist. Change isn't in the music industry isn't always negative or trying to "appeal to mainstream", it is just exactly what it is change. We all want acknowledgement for all those who we feel are deserving of and she finally has it. Just because she isn't our little secret anymore doesn't mean she is any less authentic.
Jinnamonster12 Ctrl doesn't sound mainstream tho actually she set the tone for alot of the new r&b girls out after her it's just a different phase in her life you're not gonna write music similar to the year before ....not a write like sza anyways
That is almost exactly what happened to me. Except even after hearing this first, I randomly turned the playlist on to one of her songs and it shuffled to the ft with Kendrick Lamar and I loved it even more.
Wow. Just got fucked up in my thoughts imagining if that was the world we lived in. If this level of music was the popular, the norm, the record selling stadium shit.
She is amazing, this is our favourite song of hers and she is truly an inspiration for us. You MIGHT like our *Oriental & Haunting* music as well and our new Sci-Fi music video *'Hand of God'* as well x
Babylon is a depressing song once you read the lyrics. I saw a video where she explained that it's about a time when her parents paid for her to go to college, but she didn't want to; she dropped out and her patents were disappointed in her and this song is basically her response. To be honest, I think she's going through a tough time with depression because her videos, lyrics, and the way she answers interview questions (vaguely, stops midway, etc.) showcases how lonely she is. I hope I'm wrong and SZA is sincerely happy. Even the richest and most successful people can go into severe depression.
daaaamn, while everyone is jumping all over Yonce's new shit, they all sleeping on beautiful more original and authentic artists like SZA, the internet and ABRA. Love
Been rocking with SZA ever since this song 🔥. And even I was late on her back then. But these new people just catching on to her music are hella late. 😂😂😭 She's been cold asf.
Why are people so fucking obsessed with collabs ? She sounds amazing on her own, and she has a own universe. So does FKA twigs, so does Abra, so do every artists. Why anyone would want to dilute such beatiful artistic expression is beyond me.
Me: No she's just going for a dip in the pool of Intuition to become reborn without her old forms (hence the dropping of personal possessions and memorabilia so consciously placed before wading in).
Love how she takes off the ring puts its on the makeshift blanket, takes off her shoe, ring is still on her finger, puts shoe down, ring is back on the makeshift blanket. She's a magician too!
incase yall didn't know, it's not impossible to compliment SZA without bringing down another female artist:)) just because you like her more than main stream artist doesn't mean you are better/or have better music taste. lol get off ya high horse sis, just enjoy the music 👌🏾
I can't stop listening and watching this beautiful woman. I really hope that she stays true to herself by not wearing weave's and twerking. Give a positive image to young and older black women; to show that you are beautiful without having to shake your ass, wearing provocative clothing, and be proud to wear the hair that God has given you. She reminds me of like a Sade, Enya, and Erykah Badu. There's so many artist's who sound and perform the same but when you hear artist's like this, it's 1 out of a million.
terence79ulrikson Yeah... I said Sade and Enya by how mysterious and unique they are as artists, same as SZA. I'm trying to get my iPod together; do you know any artist similar to SZA? I don't know any new artists because all I listen to is 80's and 90's music due to the shitty music-culture we have today.
What? You think artists don’t evolve and grow. This was her lazy and not taking her craft seriously. If you were really a fan you would’ve caught all her interviews where she talked about it. Not showing up to record. Being high all the time. Not practicing. Only doing music when she felt like it. She’s amazing and I love this version of her, but it was half assed. It was a moment in her life before she gone herself and was rebelling against everybody. She didn’t even know who she was. As teens, 20s, and 30s you’re a completely different person.
Bring on the thorn and crown Crucify me I'm really over the cryin' thing wipin' my tears Who cries anyway spread like disease all over me We did ungodly 🏹
It's a shame that this video doesn't have over a million views her voice is just absolutely amazing but if she keeps going like this I'm pretty sure she'll have more of a bigger fan base by the end of this year or next year but shit who knows only time will tell
I feel like SZA is the manifestation of all of the souls of lonely girls who survived trauma and came out stronger in the other side.
♥
This may be one of the most beautifullest things I've ever seen written about her. Ty 💖
Yo her music description is that no lie G✨
She is in fact, my unsolved traumas and SZA as the soundtrack of the nights I allow myself to cry those traumas.... Girl.
Sza is a Free Spirited Woman and who uses her soul,speaks her words and has the Sound of an Iconic Artist
This is how I found SZA. She was a tumblr girl and I literally thought she was one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. So cool to see how much shes grown in the industry
Ugh I miss this era of her . I miss this style the hair 😓
She's almost unrecognizable now which is unfortunate because she was more beautiful with her natural features :/
They way I messaged her on tumblr asking her for the musical notes for icemoon after a life tragedy. Lol
Only steps like that
Same!
I struggled with thoughts of suicide. This song speaks to me. Music can prolong life and put off the inevitable
SIRIUS SAM 6 i hope you are doing better. i‘m praying for you
*how are you doing now?*
It's a constant battle for me to just waking and do nothing..... I always considered the possibility but I'm afraid....
I thought I was the only one who felt that with this song💞💯🖤
watching this whole thing made me see what it really was about.
I'm so tired of people talking about "I miss old SZA" she is going to change, she's a human being. Expect progressiveness, she isnt gonna sound or be th he same forever.
Exactly , I love how spiritual she is ✨is she still Muslim ?
@@Mojo-f8t Yes.
But she said she does witchcraft...
Scorpio transformative energies 💜
Thank you !
right and be grateful to be able to witness any f it !!
I used to be a huge stoner last year and I listened to song everyday when I would smoke. I didn't realize until now how haunting this song is.

@Cherie Hi friend! Well, tbh what help me stop smoking was how sick I got with myself. Instead of internalizing it and accepting as who I was. I decided that my progress was more important than getting high. I would smoke to ease my anxiety but that always meant smoking too much and getting paranoid. I operate better with a clear mind, and since im a workaholic, I knew that would be a huge driving force for me. Basically... imagine one of the biggest driving forces in your life and slowly quit it for them or it. I hope this finds you in a happy mental state.

how nice

Jordan Booth nice dude, i feel this way too
I found the right words to describe how i feel too ;w;
Jordan Booth Great observation.. Much blessings in your daily life:))))))
I find it interesting because if you think about it, when people commit suicide by water they usually jump off a bridge to be killed by the impact or rocks. Or they slit their wrists and lay it in water (a tub filled).
In her case, she willingly drowned herself and didn't use any other means to make her back out at the last moment. She died by suffocation of self drowning and lack of air. She held her self down underwater without any physical restraint but with only her will power or lack of there of. Many others would have re-emerged because they couldn't help but to fight against suffocation.
She purified herself and peacefully crucified herself. She passed in a clean and pure way. She was meteorically crucified. Legs and arms spread except there was no need for nails restraints.
That's part of what I get out of it.

Niyalaful Technically in a way. She didn't commit suicide. Purification. Death to and by purification. She freed herself from the restraints of today's society and the sins of those before her.
Love this👌🏽
I don't think it's possible to die like this though, you'd pass out before you drowned and... Oh wait, it's just a song.
Cherbs turner Your point is sort of ironic. If you pass out in the sea, you'd drown due to not being aware enough to stay afloat. And I understand when you say its just a song.... but many songs are known for messages, and the most iconic can cause controversy and influence history.

THE MOST UNDERRATED SONG OF SZA EVER
Fr
What is it about? I don’t even understand what the hell she’s saying nor do I understand the damn video
@@tetsoujoseph9128 look up the lyrics. Once you read it to the song, you'll feel what she's saying and you will definitely understand.
SZA Euphraxia
ua-cam.com/video/9ndpl6Wfzcc/v-deo.html
I say Sweet November is underrated or Sobriety
The song that got me hooked on SZA. My favourite era of hers. Wish she made more haunting vibes like these.
Listen to her earlier eps #seeszarun and #s “ very grotesque lyricism she even said it herself
Her new album SOS has a lot of songs with this vibe, its great
@@TINKERB121 no it doesn’t
@@TINKERB121 Definitely doesn’t but alright…
i feel the closest is ghost in the machine
"I called daddy, who's got one anyway? not me"
gets me everytime.
Kristina P
Damnn lol
Kristina P same
😢
shes not talking about a father but the slang word for daddy or bae listen as she says it she loves her parents mom n dad
Same 😫😥
I legit listened to this everyday in 2016. Its haunting, it beautiful
TickleMeTrish 13 i

So many quotables in this song. It's just raw poetry.

You better review her next album Z then, comes out April 8th
blackie chan
i don't like you like that.
Anthony, reply back if you're god.
SZA is so beautiful
I do agree
This is her best song
" I call daddy , who's got one anyway. Not me " - this line always gets to me 💔
My Father Passed in 14’ and I still haven’t. Set well with ME 💜💔
@@lashontafavors9645
U forever have my supplications 😔😔
I sing that part with so much passion😭😂it’s sad
Do you also feel angry at yourself for not listening to her music a whole lot earlier?
Yui right 😂😂 they new to this, we true to this 🤘🏾
Nope day 1 fan 😍✊🏾
Yui I felt like this toward the ending of 2014, when I found out her last two EPs dropped in November of 2013.

A little bit.....she has a great voice.
I love how everyone loves SZA.
literallty lmao even now
This was my introduction to SZA :). I remember listening to this and Sobriety over and over again on SoundCloud
Same
Sobriety has those vibesssssss
am I the only one that didn't discover SZA through RiRi?
I found out through FKA twigs video suggestions
i found her by watching a music video on this channel
you're not alone, gal. proud to have known her! glad she's finally getting the much awaited publicity, she's a great artist.
I didn't either my friend told me about her a few months ago
I know her since the version with Kendrick

Wow 🖤
my ocd loves the way she put everything down neatly on her sweater
right, but her socks and sweater are now filthy lol
Paris Fuller Same. lmao. I watch this video just to see that part sometimes. i love sza though
Yes I hate the fact her socks are dirty lmao
😂😂😂
Paris Fuller ikr✋😄
She's cleansing herself in the waters of Lake Minnatonka.
ONLY Prince fans will understand this !!!
I love the gone "fishing note" at the end classic.
+COCO Lve Reminds me of NBA on TNT skit that they do.
Milton Junior haha Maybe.
*"gone fishing" note
+Lil Durk thank you. that was quite the confusing one.

Fka twigs is not on the importance level of the others to be honest
Reminds me of Portishead.... and I LOVE Portishead. Very triphopish in the best way possible.
She's higher? @The EZA
Erasmus SixFiftyFour I
amen!
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've seen in music in a really long time.
Fact!
I thought she was just going for a swim.... That was a roller coaster.
Farah art my ass that's suicide
I called daddi!!, who's got one anyway.. not me..
This is how we met SZA. She is different now, but we still know her.
Such a dark message to this video but so beautiful as well.
What message
@@maryandthediamonds1 She’s giving up on life in this song.
THAT HAIR!!!
So beautiful!
Whether it's real or not, it's still pretty
lol exactly, this is most of her real hair. ppl find those old ass throwbacks of her in her early 20s and swear they know her lifestyle
yessssss
Ari B shut up
I miss this sza right here them labels will change you
_....”I called daddy. Who’s got one anyway, not meee...”_

Eu amo consideration
dont mess with the rogue Thats right, I totally forgot she was featured in it, wow and that was like one of my fav songs on that album
this is the first SZA song I ever heard and I wish I could re-live listening to it for the first time
who else came here from simply being a fan😂😂👀 I swear she needs to be bigger than what she is
me lol
This! Sza gets down on every track she does. With such elegance and she doesn't even need to flex her vocals
yesssss!!!!
no shes our little secret
She is along the lines of evolution of music- BUT BUT>>>>>>>DOING IT WELL. Seriously.
This is some next level shit. The vocals, the lyrics, the imagery... damn. So glad I discovered her music.
exactly!
Next Level, that's the shit! it's wondereful ;)
The way her voice breaks and pitches it in this song never fails to give me chills…
I NEED THIS VERSION ON SPOTIFY TOO!!! MAKE KENDRICKS AN EXTRA!!!
daaaamn, while everyone is jumping all over Yonce's new shit, they all sleeping on beautiful more original and authentic artists like SZA, the internet and ABRA.
Love

yessss omg Abra is so good!
hell yea!
And Sinead Harnett, FKA twigs
noname gypsy and sza would make a terrific calab just saying
Yes!
I swear. They just need to come threw.
i wished she put this version on the album too. The second verse is beautiful too
Josh Sims 3rd... her first and second are the same. Kendrick replaced her 3rd... I agree with u. Fire

Probably the only song I know that is actually better without Kendrick Lamar
Been rocking with her from her first album “see sza run” her music is amazing and she’s beautiful
Same this and teen spirit made me fall in love with her music
Byron C FUCKING FACTSSSS
Why are people so fucking obsessed with collabs ? She sounds amazing on her own, and she has a own universe. So does FKA twigs, so does Abra, so do every artists. Why anyone would want to dilute such beatiful artistic expression is beyond me.
Collabs can be great but this song didnt need a feature
@@TINKERB121 Agreed, Kendrick took up too much space on this record when it was perfectly fine on its own.
This is the song that got my soul………… and the intro… clarity is a state of mind….
The SZA I fell in love witj
"Was it worth it? Would you do it again?"
Me every time I eat fast food and break my diet
maybe.
Why do i feel like Andre 3000 would be so right for this.
I agree :)
because they look the same :)))couldn't help myself ! no joke, i agree with yaa, andre 3000 would be great in here .
snoopy nasosu jus terrible lol smdh
That was in my head as soon as I heard the beat..
Yes!
My first SZA song. Been hooked since.
Some of her music you can really feel her sadness
SZA: *Is about to drown herself*
Me: Wet socks?
Medara omg right... 😂 that really bothered me.
yeah was thinking that too haha but alsoo it protection from any slimy unpleasent textures on the lake bed?
Me: No she's just going for a dip in the pool of Intuition to become reborn without her old forms (hence the dropping of personal possessions and memorabilia so consciously placed before wading in).
Those are her hooves you bitch
@@HiMyNameIsCrash it's not that deep
I feel like it’s easier to understand her lyrics in her old music.
cuz she be saying anything now lol
@@nmpoynot really y'all just ain't listening
@@nathanakpe4897 im listening.
babylon is the most beautifully haunting song ever existed and it’s so beautiful
I love how she only had 6$ cuz girl, me too lol
😭 nah, for real my fav part.
U all r rich I have 0 🤣🤣
@@leylaacikel6444 right😭
The cracked phone was what hit closest to home lol
That was $7 , don’t play her🤣
Love how she takes off the ring puts its on the makeshift blanket, takes off her shoe, ring is still on her finger, puts shoe down, ring is back on the makeshift blanket. She's a magician too!
Lmao I didn't notice this until now.
Troy Fournillier glad to have opened your eyes
Or maybe.. it was intentional.
Or maybe Gollum took it.
Troy Fournillier Lmao.
I am missing this era of SZA
This girl could very well be the female frank ocean 💕💕👌👌
^^^ oh yes
Frank ocean is a girl though
+Mario Garcia You homophobic niqqa
windinhishare Fuck you
+Binary Benson bet exactly what she don't want is to be compared smh..
i used to cry to this song all the time
I love Kendrick with all my heart but i wish this solo version was on spotify
L take L human L comment L opinion L

Uhm....
This my fav SZA song
SZA's pen is undeniable. She is incredibly gifted.
2018, Sza is famous, but this song's still my favorite one. Hauntingly mesmerizing.
the first 40 seconds. i want more of that
It's from her song Ur, I'm obsessed with it
lina garay thank you!!
ngl wished this version was on spotify
SZA is so expressional
incase yall didn't know, it's not impossible to compliment SZA without bringing down another female artist:)) just because you like her more than main stream artist doesn't mean you are better/or have better music taste. lol get off ya high horse sis, just enjoy the music 👌🏾
aspirin 01 yesss! 🙌
aspirin 01 she's mainstream now and sounds completely different... I miss this sza
😂 someone is upset asf
But I like the old Sea back too
aspirin 01 so people arent allowed to compare and say sza is better than someone else? Hm.
this is shit is so deep.... DJ Dahi never disappoints
Eon Hardy swear
this song helped me overcome my "thoughts" a few years ago. SZA still killing it!!!!
Fr 2020 was so dark for me, sza old music helped me so much then
I can't stop listening and watching this beautiful woman. I really hope that she stays true to herself by not wearing weave's and twerking. Give a positive image to young and older black women; to show that you are beautiful without having to shake your ass, wearing provocative clothing, and be proud to wear the hair that God has given you.
She reminds me of like a Sade, Enya, and Erykah Badu. There's so many artist's who sound and perform the same but when you hear artist's like this, it's 1 out of a million.
erikah badu definitely! :)
terence79ulrikson Yeah... I said Sade and Enya by how mysterious and unique they are as artists, same as SZA. I'm trying to get my iPod together; do you know any artist similar to SZA? I don't know any new artists because all I listen to is 80's and 90's music due to the shitty music-culture we have today.
MickyMicky Mike Try FKA Twigs. A little "stranger" than SZA but so lovely :)
KerseyAntiques will do. Thanks :)
Shouts out to all the clueless people out there missing out on this real music.
Truth
I liked this era of SZA before people were hype about her, i feel this was always her true sound. This new era SZA i can't get with it.
What? You think artists don’t evolve and grow. This was her lazy and not taking her craft seriously. If you were really a fan you would’ve caught all her interviews where she talked about it. Not showing up to record. Being high all the time. Not practicing. Only doing music when she felt like it. She’s amazing and I love this version of her, but it was half assed. It was a moment in her life before she gone herself and was rebelling against everybody. She didn’t even know who she was. As teens, 20s, and 30s you’re a completely different person.
Bring on the thorn and crown
Crucify me
I'm really over the cryin' thing
wipin' my tears
Who cries anyway
spread like disease all over me
We did
ungodly
🏹
This was the song that made me fall for SZA
It's a shame that this video doesn't have over a million views her voice is just absolutely amazing but if she keeps going like this I'm pretty sure she'll have more of a bigger fan base by the end of this year or next year but shit who knows only time will tell
Well guess what!!
My body is so ducking ready for Z 😭
"Ducking" hold this L
Matthew Tinker The music had him excited.
Matthew Tinker Haven't you ever heard of censorship, motherflubber?
Matthew Gonzales cute!!!
These were the beginning days man look how far they actually came wow
The very first SZA song I’ve ever heard … wow 🥺 time flies .
