I listen to this song every time I catch myself being ungrateful about my life, it reminds me that yeah life right now may not be what I want but I've had some good times too. When I sit back, reflect and look at all the good things God has given me so far I always feel better. Anybody out there feeling like your life is not what or where you want it to be right now just take 5mins to reflect on all the good things that's happened to you so far in life to get you out of that funk, more good times will be on the way soon
I cried so hard when I saw the video clips of her brother & the thought of Jhene passing and leaving her daughter behind would tear my soul apart. I hope Jhene lives a long happy life. I hope everyone lives a long happy life.
The first time I watched this, I started bawling towards the end. And now I still cant watch without sheading a tear or two. Everything about this song is so beautiful.
Just watched this for the first time. Soon as I saw her brother miyagi the tears started rolling down my face. Lord God 😢😔. She misses him and thinks of him everyday. That is her way of healing . Jhene is just so beautiful
Yeah.. Everybody knows the feeling of death so on later in life. It starts to eventually get too painful but you would start to realize that it happens to every one. Case in point.
This video was to represent that she got into a crash with her baby daddy, daughter, and older sister in the car and how they all survived with little to no injuries because miyagi, jhene’s older brother who passed away is her guardian angel protecting her and loved ones. I think it’s beautifully flimed, she’s expressing so many emotions because she’s remembering all the memories she had with her brother. Jhene probably thought “this is it.. this is how I go” but nope, she still had a mission in this world. In addition, she’s glad that everyone was okay that’s why her soul is set free throughout the video❤️ Update: 07/24/22 ummm this is the most likes I’ve gotten on a UA-cam comment😂I’m shocked… thank uuu so much!! I really didn’t think this would blow up.
@@Lashamarie22 close, I believe she made the song a few days before he died because she knew about his condition and their aunt played it for him in the hospital the day he died cause I think jhene couldn’t be there for some reason but she FaceTimed her aunt to see him, she mentioned once the song finished that’s when he passed away peacefully. Also yes, the SONG was 100% intended for only him, she mentioned in a interview long ago how she wasn’t gonna upload the song for the world it was only meant for her brother to hear, but the VIDEO was about the crash and the flashes of their moments together was her remembering him in a traumatic situation where she was close to death. Goes to show the term “my life flashed before my eyes” is valid. But yeah neither the video nor the song was released on the day he died. It was years later.
I remember hearing this song back in 2015, I just left a strip club. While I was in the strip club I realized I hated being there but I couldn’t leave because at the same time I didn’t want to. So I finally left, sat on the bus stop extremely disappointed in myself. I opened UA-cam and this song popped up. Listened to it and Took a long hard look inside myself and questioned “what the hell am I doing with my life??!” Just completely broke down into tears. Prayed to God, cried, Prayed more.... went back a few more times, but now currently I have no desire to go back, or even go back to what I used to be. The memories she shared with us in this video, I realized I wanted a healthy wholesome life with love and loved ones and not being in a place of darkness
Ryan Powell love your story but just so you know... it’s okay. To go to the strip club or take a drink or do whatever you gotta do. They say only god can judge you but I feel we are our own “god” and that god is love and we are the love when we love ourselves. Do whatever you do and know that if it makes you happy or brings you peace and doesn’t do harm to others (subjective I guess) then by all means. Live yo ur life.
I hope your doing fine man. Met a lot of friends who were in the same spot you were in. Going to those places made them lose their self-respect and made them really depressed. They got stuck in a loop and though they they wanted to be happy those things made things worse. They were "temporary" joys and not real joy. A lot of them got out of the loop and have families of their own. They have regained self respect and joy in life. I hope you have gotten the same.
Ryan I can relate... Jesus saved my soul and I've received joy ever since... Simply invite him into your life.. Just try this out as simple as it sounds.. I'm a living witness
Always be the love you never recieved or want to receive. No matter what. Being bitter is only becoming what made you bitter in the first place and perpetuating the cycle
I listen to this everyday in the morning during my makeup routine to remind myself to be grateful of being alive even if I feel like I’m just existing.
You are more than just existing, what you do affects me and what I do affects you in all ways ❤️ We are all connected in a way,. Do what you desire in your life because it is certainly a gift to mold your own world and live in it :) I hope you’ve been doing great and are found with the greatest health ❤️
Jhene is of the few artists in this world that can touch my soul so deeply to the point of bringing me to tears. Her voice and lyrics are full of so much soul and sincerity. She is a true gem among so many stones today. God bless her.
This is the seminal part of her journey on the album. Jhené finally feels a sense of clarity from earlier decisions whilst on her path, and she begins to realize the good times and positive experiences that she had along with the bad. Hence the contrast between flashing images of her good memories to the fading image of the car accident.
My daddy passed away 3 years 3 months and 3 days today. When I think back I can only remember the good times. Not one bad memory I had of him. He was my rock, my hero. I mourn for him daily.
This song literally helped me through a deep depression after a psychotic breakdown in 2020. This was the only song that could bring me peace in the midst of anxiety. She is an angel of peace and comfort. ❤️🌻
She has some songs that make it into the radio that all they do is satisfy the contemporary part of the music industry, BUT, this one and a lot of her other songs are what really allows her to shine because of her poetic, beautiful, and meaningful lyrics. This is why I like her music, she does her job and fulfills the demands of the music industry, but still makes sure to give a more humble and honest side of herself to her fans/audience.
Try Oshun (any songs) Phum's hello anxiety BTS's love yourself and magic shop The seatbeats's gotta knock a little harder Maybe ATEEZ? I know part of the lyrics are part of a plot but these guys LOVE to talk about dreams, ambitions, goals, determination, and passion The Beatles's she's leaving home Steven universe's here comes a thought Mariya takeuchi's plastic love?
I swear before when I heard this song I just thought, "Oh this is a nice" and that was it. But, honestly after visually seeing the video; the creativity and the emotion behind it I have come to appreciate the song's value. Truthfully, there is no FEMALE artist with such uniqueness as Jhené's. I will always value Jhené's craft and her presence not just as an artist, but as a person.
I listen to this song know that someday I’m going to eventually loose my parents, siblings, and dogs. I listen to this song knowing that I’ve had my time spent with them with laughing and happy memories with them. I listen to this song knowing that even though we fight often, we all still love each other. I listen to this song knowing I’ll only remember the good things. ~04/18/2020
the way her voice breaks in the last chorus kills me everytime. This song is so emotional and yet it's like understated. The way she sings like she's trying not to make a big deal of it makes it even more touching for me. Like when you talk in a really quiet voice because you're afraid you'll start to cry.
There's a beautiful personal meaning to why Jhene Aiko made this song. It was dedicated to her brother who lost his life to cancer in 2012. Rest In Peace.
I lost my little brother last year at 23 years young, he was struck by a train that failed to sound its horn, he was expecting a second child, and on his way to an interview... this song has brought me back from the dark place I've been in, and made me appreciate life for what it really is... my heart breaks for jhene, but she's made something great of herself, and that's what I hope to do as well.
I shed tears everytime I think of the two men who are no longer present in my life: my father Mduduzi Khuzwayo and my older half brother Mxolisi Khuzwayo. I cherish the memories in my head every time I think of them. Thank you Jhené for this
This video was made for my mom. Taken too soon in a car accident on Jan. 15 2016. I have played this song every morning at 4am since that tragic day. Tell your loved ones that you care because you never know if that moment shared will be your last.
So true..I lost my mother too to an unexpected brain aneurysm when I was younger. Appreciate your loved ones and life cause it's not promised tomorrow, or heck even in the next 5 min..R.I.H. Mama, 2.27.07. 😚🙏
This is the most needful song at this moment. I find my life right now in a situation in which whatever I do it doesn't full fill my soul like it used to but... The meaning of this song is so bittersweet, it reminds me of my first love and last heartbreak. Even so I can recall the good and bad in my life... Reminiscing all the memories I will never forget and how everything happens for a reason. Moments where we had such loving conversations and final moments where we began to fade apart... and will soon stop talking completely... How I wish to have one more opportunity to breath again and change the bad things... Just to remember "only the good things , the good things".
Jhené Aiko has truly impacted my life in a good way. Every song I hear and every video I see always pulls on my heart strings. I cannot truly express on what I feel from her music because every time I listen to her music I have a different feeling. I love her and admire her truly. I cannot wait for her to create more. Her music is my therapy! This video was made extremely well and had me crying an ocean. Thank you Jhené for existing and I wish everyone to live their lives long and happy! Remember the good things
Amber yeah this is amazing I can think of all the stuff that she's been through and she has all those children at the house if she were to pass today she will not be able to take care of them and have to live with somebody else
i cant help but cry every time i watch this video let alone listen to the song... her voice and lyrics speak so directly to what a lot of us are going through that it somehow unites us.....and at a time when we really need to be united what better way to do it .....through true passionate, soulful, but most of all HONEST music .... (fist in the air) one love !
This song has helped me overcome my ruminating thoughts over the resentment I hold toward my immediate family, the trauma, physical and mental abuse, and the mental health issues that my loved ones deal with, schizophrenia… Growing up and being neglected watching other kids have the opportunity to have fun with their friends and family meanwhile I was always stuck inside the a constant cycle where it felt like time never changed what would happen around me. This helped me right now in my healing stage of life, Ive been reading, praying, crying, and focusing on “all of the good things” as she mentions in the song. Im able to be more present in my own life rather than drowning in my thoughts by simply reciting that small verse in my head, I’m now happy and healing and hopped 2 states and never returned home since I was 17. I hope if someone is able to relate to my situation they know that theyre not alone and God has a plan for all of us, our difficult moments and hardships only make us stronger in order for us to bloom into the women/men we are meant to be in this life❤ sending prayers to everyone who is going through their difficult moments right now, or in the process healing from those memories. 🙏💓
My mom and I loved this song so much. She told me she wanted this song to be played at her funeral. So I did it, I cried so much when this came on at my moms funeral…. I love you so much momma😞 Rest in Paradise 💜🕊️
So much love to you 💜😭 It’s my biggest fear that I know is inevitable one day. My mum, my best friend, I have to push that fear right down cos I don’t even know what I’ll do without her. Your comment made me cry, I hope you’re doing as ok as possible 💜
@@ironjaden8335thank you🫶🏻💜I’m doing the best and strongest I can. I’m not the same person I once was when my mom was present, she was indeed my best friend. Plz hold on to your mom tight, cherish memories and make new ones, give her as much hugs possible bc one day you’ll miss those😔 Much love to you❣️
this gives me so much feels. i've heard so much about jhene aiko but it's my first time really listening to her. sometimes i just really love how k-pop ruined yet still it made my life so much better at the same time. letting me find musical pieces that would speak to me
[Verse 1] Is it strange for me to say that if I were to die today There's not a thing that I would change, I've lived well Maybe I have made mistakes and been through my fair share of pain But all in all, it's been okay, I've lived well [Pre-Hook] And the more that I see, the more that I know I don't know anything at all Like the more that I breathe and start to go slow Of all the many things, I can only recall [Hook] All of the good things, good things All of the good things, good things Only the good, the good, the good Only the good, the good, the good All of the good things, good things All of the good things, good things Only the good, the good, the good Only the good [Verse 2] Living on Sycamore Street and spending weekends on the beach We were free to be everything we dreamed Flying kites and water fights Summer nights, we'd ride our bikes On Overhill, Ladera Heights Man, I swear [Pre-Hook] The more that I see, the more that I know I don't know anything at all And the more that I breathe and start to go slow Of all the many things, I can only recall [Hook] All of the good things, good things All of the good things, good things Only the good, the good, the good Only the good, the good, the good All of the good things, good things All of the good things, good things Only the good, the good, the good Only the good, the good, the good All of the good things, good things All of the good things, good things Only the good, the good, the good Only the good P.s. The lyrics r here if u wanna cry out while karaoke just like me.
This is always going to be one of my most favourite songs ever. It really makes you stop and appreciate everything in life - the good, the bad, everything... I love Jhene so much.
I adore this song. This just reminds me to think of the Good that has happened in my life. In my 25 years, Life can get the best of all us. But there is always a blessing in the darkness. God is always with you. Trust and believe. Namaste to all.
My brother has been locked up for 11 years and this song brings back the tears all at once, I will see you again Phinehas. We have many crazy days/nights to come!
Jhene continues to be a reason for me to reflect and appreciate how far I’ve come and to keep going. To keep smiling. To keep being thankful. To know I’m worth it. She saves me every time I turn on her music. I’m so grateful to have seen her live 10+ years ago in a small theater with 4k max in San Francisco. Then traveling to Seattle in an even smaller venue and seeing her there. Then seeing her perform at Sol Blum. She’s everything I aspire to be. ❤️
When I'm going through a hard time, I listen to Jhené she is the only person who can make me feel the slightest better, and she doesn't even know it, I hope she continues to grow and gets the recognitiion she deserves.
Just like the characters of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind must give away their memories for one another, Jhené must let go of her trauma to appreciate the love she’s found
I know noone will see this being that this was out years ago but i wanna tell my story.. I am 15. When i was 12, my big brother died... It broke my heart.. It still does but me relating to jhene aiko and this song helps me meditate through what i go thru on a daily basis.. My mind is open... So are my eyes.. I now see what i need and whats needed as a prize.. To face my problems and not doubt them... I am now working as a poet to build a brand and love ppl and tell ppl about GOD and what he has done for me.. GOD IS AMAZING.. HE BLESSED ME IN SO MANY WAYS WORDS CANT DESCRIBE..... I WANT PPL TO KNOW ABOUT HIM SO I WANT TO SHARE THE WORD AND HIM WITH EVERYONE I LOVE YOU.. HAVE AN AMAZING DAY❤❤💚💚💚💚💚💚💜💜💜💜
I'm 15 too. My sister almost died in February 2019 after giving birth to my nephew. It was one of the many loneliest times of my life. I had to go to school everyday like everything was okay, meanwhile my sister was in the hospital on the verge of dying. seeing her unconscious on that hospital bed every day after school was breaking my heart. All I could do was cry and hold her hand. The most she could do was squeeze my hand back. eventually she started gaining more consciousness and I could talk to her but she wasn't making sense, and after time she could fully hold a conversation. And she could finally hold her newborn son. My sister is my best friend, my guidance, & every thing I aim to be when I'm a mother. If she had died one of the days in February, I don't know where my mental would be at. After that point in my life, I realized that every soul is so beautiful. Every soul has a purpose on this earth, to experience the bad and the good. To grow through the bad things in order to experience the good is the ways of the Universe balancing everything. Life is so bittersweet. We've all gone through our own Hell's. When you're going through hell, go through Hell.... but don't remain there. grow from it and you will prosper 🙏💕
I listen to this since My lil bro passed 01-30-2015....it break me down...i understand her pain...he was 24 and a good soul. Some days are better than others....i think about him everyday
this song still to this day sends chills through my body. it reminds me of all the people i’ve lost and how i been tryna find peace because i’ve been mad at the world for so long.. jhene you’re a blessing🥺🦋
This song always makes me cry. It softens my heart and humbles me. My father asked me today if I knew all that I knew about life before coming here would I still have wanted to be born into “this life” and I asked him did he mean my particular life or life in general. He said both and I said yes to both. With gaining love for who I am and God made me to be and the love that I’ve experienced, I can only be thankful and grateful. Even making it this far. Knowing at any time I could have just died or suffered harder losses regardless. I am who I am despite and because of my life and I choose to see the beauty even in the simplest things because nothing in this life is guaranteed except that we will all transition. Choose love, choose joy, choose to be well, choose kindness, and choose God ❤love yall
Missing my dear father who passed away 2 yrs ago after losing against a tumor in his lung...Jhené‘s songs offen transport my emotions...to anybody who lost somebody the hard way,I hope this heals your wounds as well
My Mother fighting cancer for the second time. I'm really going through it yall, listening to this song bring tears to my eyes. God bless u all. cherish your real friends and family in the present.
My uncle died three weeks ago from an overdose, he was like a brother to me because I grew up with him and he was only 5 years older than me. Nothing has been as comforting as music has, especially Jhene's and especially this song. My uncle is truly touching my heart with this song. Hes a child and my angel now. I feel his peace. Thank you Jhene. 🧡
I just learned that Miyagi, her older brother was 26 when he passed, my uncle was also 26. He taught me and introduced me to a lot and someone I dearly and consistently admire. Angels help each other out.
why does this have like 660,000 views ?!?! she needs so much props for this , it's amazing and so emotional and everything about this is touching ... this is better than some song rapping or singing about fucking bitches and smoking marijuana like omg , it makes me so mad that she doesn't have enough credit for this .
In the saddest if times, even though I cry for all the things and moments, people, that are not in my life anymore....I remember their smiles and silent laughters, as if my mind didn't record any sound. Just a progression of pictures of people and places I once knew. Such a wonder. so to find this song and this artist! Truly! I'm found.
OMG this is so beautiful, I started to cry when I listened to this. Whenever I think about suicide I just listen to this song, and then out of nowhere I just start crying out the blue. This is just so beautiful. Jhene and me went through the same thing. But my brother didn't die, my dad did. He died with heart failure and that's really hard for me. But what I think she is saying is, only think about the good things, no negatives. I will literally start listening to her every day.
😢 I miss my late dad and brother. My life has been incomplete ever since I lost them. I try everyday to get on with my life but there's this gap that no other person can ever fill.
My brother just died over an overdose April 5th, 2021. This song helps me cope. It’s so hard and today is one of those tough days 💔 I miss you so much KB! I love you 💕
i lost my little brother on 9.11 of this year. this song makes me cry and think of him. i love you tymir. i only remember the good things. come visit me please. im tired of crying....
I think song hits me in the sense that in my past relationship, I don't regret anything. Even though I wasn't the one to end it, there's absolutely nothing that I say I have done that I regret. Sure, there were ups and downs, but like the lyrics, I "can only recall only the good things" cause this relationship was my first love. First everything. This is something that will always be irreplaceable to me. Borderline fairytale-type of experience for me. He showed me a side of life that I never seen/felt before. So I'm eternally grateful for that. Jhene made this song about the death of her brother; but in my terms, this is a death of a chapter that I had the opportunity to be a part of someone else's life and must move on. Hearing this song was a detox for me, and I can relate to this song so much. I'd even label it the song for the whole duration of my relationship with my ex, lol. I really wish him well. It was great while it lasted, and it wouldn't be strange for me to say that if I were to die today, there's not a thing that I would change I've lived well.
Crazy how this was me and my brothers jam and one of our favorite artists and then in 2020 we lost him and his 2 youngest babies. They were hit by a drunk driver the day after thanksgiving. This one is for y’all 🫶🏽 ONLY THE GOOD THINGS✨ #LLTEF
I listen to this song every time I catch myself being ungrateful about my life, it reminds me that yeah life right now may not be what I want but I've had some good times too. When I sit back, reflect and look at all the good things God has given me so far I always feel better.
Anybody out there feeling like your life is not what or where you want it to be right now just take 5mins to reflect on all the good things that's happened to you so far in life to get you out of that funk, more good times will be on the way soon
Well said!!!

She has some songs that make it into the radio that all they do is satisfy the contemporary part of the music industry, BUT, this one and a lot of her other songs are what really allows her to shine because of her poetic, beautiful, and meaningful lyrics. This is why I like her music, she does her job and fulfills the demands of the music industry, but still makes sure to give a more humble and honest side of herself to her fans/audience.
+Dalia Kae dame very good analysis of her music that was well said
i love this comment
it's right on point
Try
Oshun (any songs)
Phum's hello anxiety
BTS's love yourself and magic shop
The seatbeats's gotta knock a little harder
Maybe ATEEZ? I know part of the lyrics are part of a plot but these guys LOVE to talk about dreams, ambitions, goals, determination, and passion
The Beatles's she's leaving home
Steven universe's here comes a thought
Mariya takeuchi's plastic love?
Dalia Kae honestly they need to look deeper she’s so pure 😿😿!!! Her music is literally my happyplaceee
I swear before when I heard this song I just thought, "Oh this is a nice" and that was it. But, honestly after visually seeing the video; the creativity and the emotion behind it I have come to appreciate the song's value. Truthfully, there is no FEMALE artist with such uniqueness as Jhené's. I will always value Jhené's craft and her presence not just as an artist, but as a person.
Lana del Rey
Rödnëy Apöllö I used to be a die hard fan of Lana Del Rey, but eh I moved on to different genres
Rödnëy Apöllö right? they should collab, those somber bitches. lol
Omg why you move on? Lana is still amazing to me.
West coast and Ultraviolence are incredible along with Ride and Summertime Sadness
I listen to this song know that someday I’m going to eventually loose my parents, siblings, and dogs. I listen to this song knowing that I’ve had my time spent with them with laughing and happy memories with them. I listen to this song knowing that even though we fight often, we all still love each other. I listen to this song knowing I’ll only remember the good things.

My eyes are leaking.... ur comment hit home
The bitter truth
the way her voice breaks in the last chorus kills me everytime. This song is so emotional and yet it's like understated. The way she sings like she's trying not to make a big deal of it makes it even more touching for me. Like when you talk in a really quiet voice because you're afraid you'll start to cry.
She’s healing the world through her music 💗 truly heaven sent
Agreed. We need more people like Jhene in the music industry
@@miagottfried5947 Ain't that the truth?
How could anyone dislike this ...
your pfp is everything
I know, right!?
Abel Tesfaye ikr whoever did is a fucking idiot
Abel Tesfaye idiots that have no soul and can't comprehend to the story
That pic of The Weeknd is so sexy omg
There's a beautiful personal meaning to why Jhene Aiko made this song. It was dedicated to her brother who lost his life to cancer in 2012. Rest In Peace.
Came here after watching her perform it at Nipsey Hussle’s memorial😢
RIP Nipsey Hussle 💙🕊
I lost my little brother last year at 23 years young, he was struck by a train that failed to sound its horn, he was expecting a second child, and on his way to an interview... this song has brought me back from the dark place I've been in, and made me appreciate life for what it really is... my heart breaks for jhene, but she's made something great of herself, and that's what I hope to do as well.
Sorry for your loss ❤️🩹
I shed tears everytime I think of the two men who are no longer present in my life: my father Mduduzi Khuzwayo and my older half brother Mxolisi Khuzwayo.
I cherish the memories in my head every time I think of them. Thank you Jhené for this
those are some cool name. Rest in Peace
This video was made for my mom. Taken too soon in a car accident on Jan. 15 2016. I have played this song every morning at 4am since that tragic day. Tell your loved ones that you care because you never know if that moment shared will be your last.
💙💙

So true..I lost my mother too to an unexpected brain aneurysm when I was younger. Appreciate your loved ones and life cause it's not promised tomorrow, or heck even in the next 5 min..R.I.H. Mama, 2.27.07. 😚🙏
Sherita Valree Thank you for your words. Stay in encouraged! Prayers to The Father for you in the name of Christ Jesus

This song gives me goosebumps and a kind of nervousness that I can't quite describe... This song just gives the feels
+Stoof fany I was feeling this exact feeling while reading this comment, so crazy :)
lelpau Two complete strangers from different parts of the world listen to the same song and feel the exact same feelings.. Crazy how that works!
:)
+Stoof fany beauty of music
Me too!!!!
This is the most needful song at this moment. I find my life right now in a situation in which whatever I do it doesn't full fill my soul like it used to but... The meaning of this song is so bittersweet, it reminds me of my first love and last heartbreak. Even so I can recall the good and bad in my life... Reminiscing all the memories I will never forget and how everything happens for a reason. Moments where we had such loving conversations and final moments where we began to fade apart... and will soon stop talking completely... How I wish to have one more opportunity to breath again and change the bad things... Just to remember "only the good things , the good things".
dania reyes , do you feel empty inside?
dania reyes Bless u angel
thank you !!
lia from itzy is listening to her songs HER TASTE
YESSIR
Her taste is impeccable 😭
YESSSSS I LOVE LIAAA
Her playlist is gold
the way i started crying i can’t get through singing this without shedding a tear
pls im crying too babes
Me rn

Jhene Aiko has been thought so much in her life this song is beautiful full of sparkles of loyalty it makes me cry she is a Angel.✨
Im legit crying this is so beautiful..words cant even explain👼🏽😩❤️
As macho as I am, I'm almost about to..
Remember the words "he gotta he the booty like groceries" came out of the same mouth
+TurtleGamesFTW that was a hip hop song. She was having fun on the track. This is R&B and soul.
this is about the loss of her brother ❤
Michiko Smith Kinda
there must be something in my eye...
lol same here
+Ricardo Osuna Yeah I think I have an eyelash in my eye, these are not tears!
Ricardo Osuna felt this one Jhene just touched my soul
7 years later and I now realize the beat is a beautiful interpretation of a heartbeat... I've found a new love for this song.
Thank you for sharing! What a wonderful new way to experience this song ❤️
I've been down lately ever since my grandma passed away. Jhené's music has been so therapeutic and enables me to cry when I'm bottling everything up.
xThinkinqofYou praying for you and your family x❤️
Jhené Aiko has truly impacted my life in a good way. Every song I hear and every video I see always pulls on my heart strings. I cannot truly express on what I feel from her music because every time I listen to her music I have a different feeling. I love her and admire her truly. I cannot wait for her to create more. Her music is my therapy! This video was made extremely well and had me crying an ocean. Thank you Jhené for existing and I wish everyone to live their lives long and happy! Remember the good things
This song is so beautiful and wonderful, It makes me cry.
I love to just take a nice relaxing bath and listen to her she just reaches all my feelings I can't explain it. Such spiritual and beautiful music
Amber yeah this is amazing I can think of all the stuff that she's been through and she has all those children at the house if she were to pass today she will not be able to take care of them and have to live with somebody else
R.I.P. KOBE...R.I.P. Nipsey...my heart is soooo heavy.

things could be worse, people dying in your private life for example.
Everybody say thank you Choi Beomgyu♡
Jhene you literally made me cry.... life is a beautiful thing
i cant help but cry every time i watch this video let alone listen to the song... her voice and lyrics speak so directly to what a lot of us are going through that it somehow unites us.....and at a time when we really need to be united what better way to do it .....through true passionate, soulful, but most of all HONEST music .... (fist in the air) one love !
This song has helped me overcome my ruminating thoughts over the resentment I hold toward my immediate family, the trauma, physical and mental abuse, and the mental health issues that my loved ones deal with, schizophrenia… Growing up and being neglected watching other kids have the opportunity to have fun with their friends and family meanwhile I was always stuck inside the a constant cycle where it felt like time never changed what would happen around me. This helped me right now in my healing stage of life, Ive been reading, praying, crying, and focusing on “all of the good things” as she mentions in the song. Im able to be more present in my own life rather than drowning in my thoughts by simply reciting that small verse in my head, I’m now happy and healing and hopped 2 states and never returned home since I was 17. I hope if someone is able to relate to my situation they know that theyre not alone and God has a plan for all of us, our difficult moments and hardships only make us stronger in order for us to bloom into the women/men we are meant to be in this life❤ sending prayers to everyone who is going through their difficult moments right now, or in the process healing from those memories. 🙏💓
Thank you so much ❤
My mom and I loved this song so much. She told me she wanted this song to be played at her funeral. So I did it, I cried so much when this came on at my moms funeral…. I love you so much momma😞 Rest in Paradise 💜🕊️
So much love to you 💜😭
It’s my biggest fear that I know is inevitable one day. My mum, my best friend, I have to push that fear right down cos I don’t even know what I’ll do without her. Your comment made me cry, I hope you’re doing as ok as possible 💜
@@ironjaden8335thank you🫶🏻💜I’m doing the best and strongest I can. I’m not the same person I once was when my mom was present, she was indeed my best friend. Plz hold on to your mom tight, cherish memories and make new ones, give her as much hugs possible bc one day you’ll miss those😔 Much love to you❣️
thank you lia for letting me find this song.
this gives me so much feels. i've heard so much about jhene aiko but it's my first time really listening to her. sometimes i just really love how k-pop ruined yet still it made my life so much better at the same time. letting me find musical pieces that would speak to me
i only figured out that her soul is floating to heaven thats why the camera keeps rising up lol
Your soul goes to heaven not your body
no its just a green screen
+diego santiago marinho not its not, check the bts, shes hanging off a crane, she does her own stunts lol
lmaoo
You don't have to be dead to go out of body. It's called astral travel, look it up.
this song is so sad she made this for her brother R.I.P to him 💕
Creativeness. Love!
Hey Teeks! RIP Miyagi
Ive been vibing out to this song for the past week. I♥her so much
[Verse 1]
Is it strange for me to say that if I were to die today
There's not a thing that I would change, I've lived well
Maybe I have made mistakes and been through my fair share of pain
But all in all, it's been okay, I've lived well
[Pre-Hook]
And the more that I see, the more that I know
I don't know anything at all
Like the more that I breathe and start to go slow
Of all the many things, I can only recall
[Hook]
All of the good things, good things
All of the good things, good things
Only the good, the good, the good
Only the good, the good, the good
All of the good things, good things
All of the good things, good things
Only the good, the good, the good
Only the good
[Verse 2]
Living on Sycamore Street and spending weekends on the beach
We were free to be everything we dreamed
Flying kites and water fights
Summer nights, we'd ride our bikes
On Overhill, Ladera Heights
Man, I swear
[Pre-Hook]
The more that I see, the more that I know
I don't know anything at all
And the more that I breathe and start to go slow
Of all the many things, I can only recall
[Hook]
All of the good things, good things
All of the good things, good things
Only the good, the good, the good
Only the good, the good, the good
All of the good things, good things
All of the good things, good things
Only the good, the good, the good
Only the good, the good, the good
All of the good things, good things
All of the good things, good things
Only the good, the good, the good
Only the good
P.s. The lyrics r here if u wanna cry out while karaoke just like me.
I just wanna know what y’all bitches moon sign is in because this shit funny ash LMFAOO how did you know
Only the good things. Please.

This is always going to be one of my most favourite songs ever. It really makes you stop and appreciate everything in life - the good, the bad, everything...
I love Jhene so much.
i am in love with her voice. so beautiful and pure

This is my first time listening to this song, thanks to Lia 🥰
I adore this song. This just reminds me to think of the Good that has happened in my life. In my 25 years, Life can get the best of all us. But there is always a blessing in the darkness. God is always with you. Trust and believe. Namaste to all.
My brother has been locked up for 11 years and this song brings back the tears all at once, I will see you again Phinehas. We have many crazy days/nights to come!
One of my favorite jhené song. It really lets her vocals and lyrics shine.

I can't wait to hear her and Yuna on a track together. This is gonna be great.
listen :used to love you 😉😉
And promises

Hey
I miss my mom, dad and 12 year nephew who I raised as my son. 2011, 2015, 2018 😭😭😭💜💙❤
i’m sorry luv, i pray the best for you ❤️
Jhene continues to be a reason for me to reflect and appreciate how far I’ve come and to keep going. To keep smiling. To keep being thankful. To know I’m worth it. She saves me every time I turn on her music. I’m so grateful to have seen her live 10+ years ago in a small theater with 4k max in San Francisco. Then traveling to Seattle in an even smaller venue and seeing her there. Then seeing her perform at Sol Blum. She’s everything I aspire to be. ❤️
When I'm going through a hard time, I listen to Jhené she is the only person who can make me feel the slightest better, and she doesn't even know it, I hope she continues to grow and gets the recognitiion she deserves.
thank you for recommending this masterpiece choi beomgyu .
Just like the characters of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind must give away their memories for one another, Jhené must let go of her trauma to appreciate the love she’s found
I know noone will see this being that this was out years ago but i wanna tell my story.. I am 15. When i was 12, my big brother died... It broke my heart.. It still does but me relating to jhene aiko and this song helps me meditate through what i go thru on a daily basis.. My mind is open... So are my eyes.. I now see what i need and whats needed as a prize.. To face my problems and not doubt them... I am now working as a poet to build a brand and love ppl and tell ppl about GOD and what he has done for me.. GOD IS AMAZING.. HE BLESSED ME IN SO MANY WAYS WORDS CANT DESCRIBE..... I WANT PPL TO KNOW ABOUT HIM SO I WANT TO SHARE THE WORD AND HIM WITH EVERYONE I LOVE YOU.. HAVE AN AMAZING DAY❤❤💚💚💚💚💚💚💜💜💜💜
I'm 15 too. My sister almost died in February 2019 after giving birth to my nephew. It was one of the many loneliest times of my life. I had to go to school everyday like everything was okay, meanwhile my sister was in the hospital on the verge of dying. seeing her unconscious on that hospital bed every day after school was breaking my heart. All I could do was cry and hold her hand. The most she could do was squeeze my hand back. eventually she started gaining more consciousness and I could talk to her but she wasn't making sense, and after time she could fully hold a conversation. And she could finally hold her newborn son.
My sister is my best friend, my guidance, & every thing I aim to be when I'm a mother. If she had died one of the days in February, I don't know where my mental would be at. After that point in my life, I realized that every soul is so beautiful. Every soul has a purpose on this earth, to experience the bad and the good. To grow through the bad things in order to experience the good is the ways of the Universe balancing everything. Life is so bittersweet. We've all gone through our own Hell's. When you're going through hell, go through Hell.... but don't remain there. grow from it and you will prosper 🙏💕
@@leila1705 im proud of you!! Your so strong!! 💙✨ i will pray for you and her and your family 💙💙 remember, focus on the good things queen 👑

I listen to this since My lil bro passed 01-30-2015....it break me down...i understand her pain...he was 24 and a good soul. Some days are better than others....i think about him everyday
this song still to this day sends chills through my body. it reminds me of all the people i’ve lost and how i been tryna find peace because i’ve been mad at the world for so long.. jhene you’re a blessing🥺🦋
This became my favorite song, after Choi Yeonjun from TXT told me that this was his favorite song. Now it's become a healing song for me 💙
where did he say that?
This song always makes me cry. It softens my heart and humbles me.
My father asked me today if I knew all that I knew about life before coming here would I still have wanted to be born into “this life” and I asked him did he mean my particular life or life in general. He said both and I said yes to both.
With gaining love for who I am and God made me to be and the love that I’ve experienced, I can only be thankful and grateful. Even making it this far. Knowing at any time I could have just died or suffered harder losses regardless. I am who I am despite and because of my life and I choose to see the beauty even in the simplest things because nothing in this life is guaranteed except that we will all transition. Choose love, choose joy, choose to be well, choose kindness, and choose God ❤love yall
This is the song I would want played at my funeral... From my heart I say....
When i die i want this song to play on my funeral ❤"I ve lived well" Thank you GOD ❤
aww :( ❤
Missing my dear father who passed away 2 yrs ago after losing against a tumor in his lung...Jhené‘s songs offen transport my emotions...to anybody who lost somebody the hard way,I hope this heals your wounds as well
This song just keeps playing in my head after I found out about Kobe and his daughters... RIP💔
From Lia’s Playlist 💕
My Mother fighting cancer for the second time. I'm really going through it yall, listening to this song bring tears to my eyes. God bless u all. cherish your real friends and family in the present.
My uncle died three weeks ago from an overdose, he was like a brother to me because I grew up with him and he was only 5 years older than me. Nothing has been as comforting as music has, especially Jhene's and especially this song. My uncle is truly touching my heart with this song. Hes a child and my angel now. I feel his peace. Thank you Jhene. 🧡
I just learned that Miyagi, her older brother was 26 when he passed, my uncle was also 26. He taught me and introduced me to a lot and someone I dearly and consistently admire. Angels help each other out.
why does this have like 660,000 views ?!?! she needs so much props for this , it's amazing and so emotional and everything about this is touching ... this is better than some song rapping or singing about fucking bitches and smoking marijuana like omg , it makes me so mad that she doesn't have enough credit for this .
I know right
+sammi bear its no justin bieber or one direction...... :/
+Hanane ummm are talking crap about them or ?
*are you ?
+sammi bear haha no Im not, but i think this deserves more views too
This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
I really don’t get emotional but this song just do something
Yeonjun sang this song on ASC. What a beautiful song. Truly beautiful. Thank you.
I came here because of him too, all i have to say is Yeonjun has good tastes👌
I came here for the same reason
In the saddest if times, even though I cry for all the things and moments, people, that are not in my life anymore....I remember their smiles and silent laughters, as if my mind didn't record any sound. Just a progression of pictures of people and places I once knew. Such a wonder. so to find this song and this artist! Truly! I'm found.
This doesn't have enough views... SO touching, my all time favorite.
OMG this is so beautiful, I started to cry when I listened to this. Whenever I think about suicide I just listen to this song, and then out of nowhere I just start crying out the blue. This is just so beautiful. Jhene and me went through the same thing. But my brother didn't die, my dad did. He died with heart failure and that's really hard for me. But what I think she is saying is, only think about the good things, no negatives. I will literally start listening to her every day.
😢 I miss my late dad and brother. My life has been incomplete ever since I lost them. I try everyday to get on with my life but there's this gap that no other person can ever fill.
My brother just died over an overdose April 5th, 2021. This song helps me cope. It’s so hard and today is one of those tough days 💔 I miss you so much KB! I love you 💕
this gave me chills throughout the whole video. her voice is amazing. and she's gorgeous. amazing!
I love my father yesterday morning. And I’m remembering him and listening to this at the same time. I love you dad RIP Jesse Molina 💔
I'm here bc of beomgyu recommendation
this is pure art! She's so talented!^^
I came to listen to this song after losing a father figure, and I genuinely feel a little more peace. 09/06/2020. RIP papa Nkati, I love you♥️

Man..... so much feels in this song.
Gurl this been out for a min lol I bought the album n all lol but I do love this song 👍❤️
Kika Loiseau i know lol but it's like every time i hear it, it's still is so beautiful. 😍😘
i lost my little brother on 9.11 of this year. this song makes me cry and think of him. i love you tymir. i only remember the good things. come visit me please. im tired of crying....
I think song hits me in the sense that in my past relationship, I don't regret anything. Even though I wasn't the one to end it, there's absolutely nothing that I say I have done that I regret. Sure, there were ups and downs, but like the lyrics, I "can only recall only the good things" cause this relationship was my first love. First everything. This is something that will always be irreplaceable to me. Borderline fairytale-type of experience for me. He showed me a side of life that I never seen/felt before. So I'm eternally grateful for that. Jhene made this song about the death of her brother; but in my terms, this is a death of a chapter that I had the opportunity to be a part of someone else's life and must move on. Hearing this song was a detox for me, and I can relate to this song so much. I'd even label it the song for the whole duration of my relationship with my ex, lol. I really wish him well. It was great while it lasted, and it wouldn't be strange for me to say that if I were to die today, there's not a thing that I would change I've lived well.
This song always makes me think of my brother who passed away last year from a car accident and tear up. RIP Mongezi Mbokazi. Never forgotten!
Crazy how this was me and my brothers jam and one of our favorite artists and then in 2020 we lost him and his 2 youngest babies. They were hit by a drunk driver the day after thanksgiving. This one is for y’all 🫶🏽 ONLY THE GOOD THINGS✨ #LLTEF
This song makes me think of my grandma. Sometimes I imagine she sang it to me before she died. I love you Grammy💕
