this song was like "Nights" before we had "Nights"
James bro u high key right
I like it more than nights.
Please don't compare pyramids to nights
James Pryramids is leagues ahead of nights
God yes omg
The adventures of Macklemore and Johnny Sins.. I see a buddy cop movie in this
Too accurate lmfao
This is perfect😂😂😂
They gotta have undercover names like Sloppy Joe & BigMac
I’m geeking at this
instead of Macklemore, Chris Martin.
Genuinely one of the best songs of all time
So damn true the whole album is wow
I personally love channel Orange really an album I would bring with me on a deserted island
Thanongrit Suriyarungka yeah his next album will be his least best.
I SHIT YOU NOT!!!! THE TRANSITIONS! I LIVE FOR THE TRANSITIONS
💯
I agree 100%!
people in 30 years will talk about franks music like they do about Bowie or Pink Floyd today. absolutely guarantee that
He is an amazing amazing artist but he’s not consistent enough with his music which doesn’t allow him to be mainstream which is also a plus I guess haha
Kira he doesn’t have to be consistent when literally anything he makes is absolute gold. He WILL be looked at as the Stevie wonder or prince type when it’s all said and done
Well he needs to stay on the radar for that to happen that can’t happen if he’s long forgotten
Kira you couldn’t be more wrong lol
talking heads were barely appreciated chart wise for many of their albums, now considered to be classics
A lot of people dont realize that Pyramids is written as a pyramid. The rise and the fall of the song.
oh shit
Leon 😳🤯
Hello listener of the Dissect Podcast 👋
I can't believe I never realized that. I'm disappointed in myself, yet excited about this new knowledge you've bestowed upon me. Thank you. :)
Lukas Norlund Sivermark Sup dude
That guitar rift at the end is John Mayer.
Mayer is underrated. His ability to seamlessly dip into a myriad of genres, alongside a variety of different artists, is something special.
@Son Goku what?
@@jonnynosnew2820 he's one of the best guitarists and artists ever, no doubt, he's just incredibly talented and his relationships give him this underrated status, it's dumb af
Also that’s Frank singing Falsetto into a distorted mic after he says “air guitar”
Gee Garcia Mike Dean the best
Frank ocean is one of the few artist who doesn’t have to drop an album to stay relevant
But we all still pray he does
And earl sweatshirt
Still waiting on that album
Travis too
He could still drop one more than every four years tho 😭
watching this lowkey jealous that i’ll never be able to experience this song for the first time again
cschaefer741 realest shit I’ve heard all day lol
Highkey Faxxx bro 🥺
tru but everytime I hear it still gives me chills like the first time; it's timeless
this is my first time 5 mins in and omg it's amazing
Legit :(
The wildest thing is that this is his debut single for his first major release album. Dude really dropped a 10 minute epic as a first single
The pure joy of u guys here had me smiling the whole time
Damn, 1k likes without a comment
Same
“Where even the flippin are we”
*the STRIP CLUB*
Hahaha
“Best voice in whatever you want to call this genre” 💀💀
tony romo ALTERNATIVE RNB
the weeknd
@@dddd-uk4vn no he's discusting
@@dddd-uk4vn The Weeknd is on an equal level overall to Frank but Franks stand out songs are literally amazing
@@juhred Nah.
the second half of this song is so amazing. My favorite Frank Ocean song ever. I have overplayed this song for years and it never gets old
Yeah, i prefer the seond part even more. Just gives me pure chills.
u cant overplay it
He's singing about Cleopatra because when she was in love with Julius Caesar she was kidnapped and taken away from him so Frank just used her as a metaphor for losing someone you love or getting them stolen from you
I just thought pyramids are in Egypt, cleopatra lived in Egypt 😂😂
Not exactly, she had an affair with Julius Caesar for a time, but after Julius Caesar was assassinated Augustus Caesar took power. Marc Antony, who had basically moved to Egypt because he loved cleopatra, also part of the Roman elite, was accused of being a traitor to Rome and trying to make Rome part of the Egyptian empire and it was Augustus who eventually kidnapped her after the Augustus army was successful against marc Antonys loyalists mixed with Egypt in the battle of actium. Cleopatra and Marc Antony fled this battle and Antony committed suicide and cleopatra was eventually captured and killed herself in captivity
Me and my dad take this song as that but also falling in love with a stripper. You can see this near the end.
@@adeahcarew4715yes In the end he changes the meaning and makes it about a dancer
@@atticuscorbett2111yes. The Roman Empire was next door to Egypt.
The working at the pyramid tonight drop is pure goosebumps
Pyramids to me is one of the best songs of the 21st Century, if not one of the best songs ever.
Everything about this song sounds so perfectly executed and the story behind the lyrics is just absolutely mindblowing
Go listen to House Of Balloons/Glass Table
@@AKATakisOfficial two of my favorite songs llol
@@AKATakisOfficial this is more lyrically dense than anything on trilogy even though I prefer trilogy
Aynen furkan abi
@@ardaxyAynen arda abi
The cheetahs line explaination via genius......It is rumored that the historical Cleopatra kept cheetahs as pets. During the hook, the implication is that a thief has taken Cleopatra. Cheetahs would be a play on bloodhounds on the trail of a runaway criminal. Imagine loyal cheetahs trying to locate their stolen master.
“Cheetah” may also serve as a near-homophone for “cheater”, which touches on the issues of sex, love, and betrayal that run throughout the song
There is also a well-known chain of strip clubs called Cheetahs, which comes into play later in the song
Nobody:
Simon: it's like prog
Louis Blenkinsop so true hahaha
Prague. Makes more sense now right?
@@livedavid2 no, it is Prog as in Progressive. Like Prog Rock. Prague is a country not a music genre
BlackFlag21 ok that makes ore sense
BlackFlag21 not a country you plum
The Transition will always make me Nut 😭😍
what the fuck
Nah i feel you I have to clean the walls every time I hear this song.
Nights transition is even better
@@ianhubbard641 fr one of the best if not the best beat switches ever
You ain’t never lieeeeee
This song is in my top 5 all time songs, its utterly perfect.
Christian Vance I whole heartedly agree
What are the other 4?
Yes , tell us
The tension is killing us just spill the beans
It’s been a year. Please just tell us 😫😫
Frank Ocean - Super Rich Kids
Luv that song so much
@Richard We are the xanny gnashin' caddy smashin... Simon sorta enjoyed IDLSIDGO as well, so I'd love to see their reaction to this one
Can you guys PLEASE react to that?! There is this vibe that album gives off that I know you too will love to hear.
I second this
Richard
Would love to see either of them react to all of Earl’s Doris
loved how much u guys enjoyed this one felt like listening to frank for the first time again
raikage88 seriously thou when ur listening to a song that you’ve heard before with different people, it’s like your first time hearing it again
Same.
@@RazeDee OMG yess
this song is literally a religious experience. i think it’s one of the best to ever exist
Frank Ocean is a true artist that has perfected his style. Hard to say about
many.
Edit: Wow I don’t think I’ve ever gotten this many likes before🤩
ASMR Green only ever got that feel from 6lack, Brent Faiyaz and some of The Weeknd
Top 5 living artists easy
Antonyo Adams bugging, none of them are on frank level you just like that genre
@@SleepyDemonMedia The Weeknd was definitely in his bag during the Trilogy era. 2 of his first 3 mixtapes are masterpieces and some of the best R&B ever. Also helped Drake make not only his best album, but yet another masterpiece. Give the man his credit.
The Fapologist exactly
*Isaiah Rashad - Heavenly Father*
I can’t wait! Next week I’m hoping👀👀👀
Something Seems Off omg please
Cilvia demo is a classic
John Ducas - 100%
It’s in my top 3 single projects this decade.
Something Seems Off every video I look for your comment
woah h - hahaha I definitely recognize your name, im so happy that they’re finally reacting to it!
PLEASE DO CHANNEL ORANGE, i can’t imagine listening to this song for the 1st time again
Honestly this is the type of song you listen to once and never get that feeling again.
Frank Ocean's writing is simply beautiful
This is my favourite song of all time, so it’s great to hear other people discover it. Random fact: the guitar solo is uncredited John Mayer.
This is why he is “frank ocean” there will be no other like him he is the only one
Pyramids and Pink Matter are probably my favorite tracks from channel.ORANGE
WhoaNellyJake Pink Matter may be one of the greatest songs of all time.
Sierra Leone and Golden Girl
Don't forget super rich kids
don't forget pilot jones!! hella underrated track.
Bad Religion, Thinkin Bout You, Sierra Leone, and Super Rich Kids are amazing as well.
I would pay to watch them listen to the DIssect Podcast breakdown of this song
then do it. they accept patreon donations for suggestions and those take priority over all of the other suggestions
I might have to do it
The Dissect Podcast to this song is truly one of my favorite things i’ve ever took the time to listen to.
@@detectiveniggachu860 someone needs to get on this pronto. Probably would be one of their biggest vids
Where can I find it
Why the dude on the Left looking like Johnny sinns 💀💀
At 5:34 Simon thinks about doin the robot and then says nahhhh😂😂
I wanna cry at Frank's artistry every time that, even years later, I see random facts I still haven't known about his albums/songs
Courtesy of Dissect (which is WELL worth the listen to) but the beat to this song sonically peaks and descends resembling the shape of a pyramid. One of the few things that blew my mind about this song.
I always thought that the "pyramid theme" notation outlined the shape of a pyramid too
Thanks for recommending the podcast. You're 100% right. It's been absolutely worth it.
the story transition of ~50 B.C. to 2012 AD reminds me very much of the famous match-cut from Stanley Kubrick‘s 2001 Space Odyssey, I can almost 100% visualize Frankie being a Kubrick fan having had that in mind.
i love this
Frank is a Kubrick fan. He's mentioned his work before on tracks, notably on Novacane
Them : (press play)
Me: they know not of the power that they're dabbling in
This song will play at the end of the world
FINALLYYYYYYYY! Frank is the king of transitions!!
God bless you men, and god bless Frank Ocean
Truly bro
Btw the guitar in the breakdown/switch up is John Mayer, he also plays on white and a few other tracks on channel orange
The transition to the second half of this track will forever be legendary !! 🔥
4:01 neck be like / - \ | - | / - \ | - | / - \ | - | / - \ | - |
Yes lads been waiting a long time for this one!!!!
Still waiting and hoping for odd future - oldie
I've never seen someone request this but it's a must
yes oldie is great
Requested it a few times on the older videos I used to see a few comments for it tbf but yeah it is great & the video makes it even better
Yeah oldie would be sweer
Jordan Hemming got a bunch of likes requesting this awhile back, still have hope out 🙏🏼
Novacane was the first Frank Ocean song I heard and it has always been my favorite
This on the level of the "drugs you should try it" reaction
That last minute of the song just hit diff
I wish I could hear this for the first time again 🥺
Kinda late lol but really love how they both just were in the SPACE as soon as the switch come in 🔥🔥🔥
Damn, this just hit my recommended. I miss these guys
"best voice in whatever you wanna call the genre" my new favorite superlative.
I can understand their reactions perfectly: hearing rock most of your life makes you a bit pigeonholed to those sounds. As soon as they hear Frank, their levels of interest perk up immediately cuz it's not a guitar riff or a drum beat. It's electronic and synth badgering them: it's different so their reaction is how I was when I went from listening to Marvin Gaye to The Weeknd back in high school
BRING BACK ROCK REACTS!!!!!!!
Listen to the Dissect Podcast episode on this song, explains a ton of deeper meanings and metaphors around the pyramid, cleopatra references, such a beautiful song
Isaiah Rashad - Wats Wrong
One of my favorite songs.
KANYE SEASON!!
Kids see ghosts - Reborn
Kanye - all of MBDTF

@@jemcraigx Yeah, John should react to MBDTF on his personal channel
Roses pls
Today you earned a subscriber. I never seen your videos before, but I was listening to Frank ocean this morning as I always do, and ran across this gem. At 9:00 minutes, you made this black woman living in diaspora proud, and a fan. You understood, even from across the pond. Thank you for saying it.
It's 2019 and this is still one of my favorite songs of all time. I actually just discovered your channel by looking this song up. Frank Ocean does such a good job with his imagery, every time I listen to this it's like watching a movie play out in my head. I'm glad you guys decided to look up the song lyrics and meaning, I think that's one of the best parts.
His silky smooth voice definitely is a plus too 🔥
That's me rn lmaooo
dope, thanks for actually reacting to this been requesting this one💯💯
Kid Cudi - GHOST!
Kanye West - Hey Mama
The Weeknd - Wicked Games
Childish Gambino - Zealots Of Stockholm
Lupe Fiasco - Madonna (And Other Mothers In The Hood) (feat. Nikki Jean)

What a terrible list. Lol all these artists have much better songs.
brandon white well kindly just fuck off mate jesuuuus man lmao, you could have said it without being a douche they're just suggestions u dumb fuck lol
brandon white but have a good one bro 💯
Yeah Brandon, you dick
i think they would really love zealots
you can see how much they really are enjoying it. nodding along with sunglasses on to frank is just about the most genuine reaction ive seen on youtube
9:07 Mindblown! Songs like this are the reason why I love music. Deep artistry.
Frank Ocean is the only modern musician I consider a genius
Did Kanye and Kendrick die? 😂
Ian Hubbard I can see what you mean but it’s also the way Frank markets himself
he barely markets himself wym?
@@jalves6494
Its ya boi Ian yeah barely promoting himself makes the wait for his new music without news more anticipated
@@jalves6494 I see what you mean, but I'm so used to not getting Frank music that I become content without new music. Kanye on the other hand is constantly teasing new music which makes me constantly excited for it. Like when tf is Yandhi gonna drop 😭😭😭
You guys should tell us some rock/metal songs we should listen to
06Csprowe love this idea
Now you need to watch Frank and John Mayor perform this on SNL
M. Lewis yo I was pissed that snl took it off UA-cam. One of the best live songs I’ve ever seen.
TheThirdErnest where can I find it now?
TheThirdErnest damn, they really did, that sucks. It’s my favorite live frank ocean performance, not that I’ve seen a lot of live performances from him, but still
The music video for the 2nd half of pyramids is on Vimeo, the snl performance is probably there too.
Venmo for snl videos including thinking bout you
Frank Ocean legit best artist out. Underrated.
pyramids is a top tier song fs
Best song of the decade
The pyramid she’s working at is the Luxor Hotel in Vegas. Plot twist, she’s a Las Vegas escort.
How do I like a video more than once?
“Why is he singing about cleopatra” the songs caked pyramids ...
The guy on the lefts facial expressions are exactly IT
I like that they're so open with their genres even though they're metal heads and can appreciate any good music
MY FAVOURITE SONG!! I can’t believe you guys haven’t heard it before ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wish I could experience listening to pyramids for the first time again
That is a fantastic track. So deep lyrically, instrument-wise, rhythmically, historically..... 🤯 Blows my mind every time.
It's one of the songs which feels even better when driving a car at night. Just pure chills. Prefer the second part even more btw.
Biggie - Ten Crack Commandments
Pusha T - Numbers On The Boards
Kanye West - I Feel Like That
Numbers on the boards is fire.
Numbers on the boards beat gives me a boner
i feel like that really hits me in the feels
When the beat drops @ 7:05 I just about turned into a KOD stripper!
Cant wait till you guys do more from channel orange or even channel orange as a whole 😩 great work guys
Been waiting for this song since the channel started! 😍
The Weeknd - WICKED GAMES
PLS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
Josh Rau they need to react to this☝🏼
Shit song
Morning is better
"That's what I'm seeing in my mind" who else but frank ocean could so perfectly create the scene exactly as it is intended in the most idiosyncratic, individual, nonconformist way. A true genius, an artist in the true sense à la Bowie.
*_“Fucking Hell!!”_*
I’ve listened to this a million times but it felt like I haven’t when I watched this. Yalls pure joy is contagious
@ 6:11 when he mentions Grandaddy.
Damn that’s rare af I fw that band, and btw Frank played Grandaddy on Blonded Radio once. It was on the fifth episode.
A person will never forget their first time experiencing Pyramids
Do frank ocean swim good
Very underrated song
ya heard because it’s one of his least best
Beep Boop no because its old asf lol
Watching you guys appreciate this reminds me of how much I appreciated this song when i first heard it.
Frank Ocean is a master of sound.
Thanks so much for reacting to this one, fam'.
Hardest working channel in the game.
the guitar is done by John Mayer
Frank Ocean Broke Johny's brain...
You neeeeed to do Kiss land full 7 minute Weeknd song
Ugh this song is such a classic to me. Used to play it out so much my mom’s parrot would sing it. Great seeing all these reactions with da new Frank singles being released
jons astonishment at 9:05 LMAO
No one:
Not a single soul:
Simon: *I’m gonna stick my head in the toilet*
I live for the whole song but that second half 🤯😍
Thinkin’ bout you!!!! The first song I heard of frank! Been no turning back.
Best Frank Ocean song, period.
Masterpiece
