He's like that guy that seems to know and be friends with everybody but In reality he feels lonely cause every one of em' are just associates. They're not the type of people to be in a tight trusted circle of friends. Bruh, hits too close to home.
I watched Mid90's for the first time last summer, and since then I have realized more and more the amount of cool stuff you guys had your hands in without me realizing it. Good job y'all.
My interpretation of this video is that - we keep running from our fears, only to realize we were overreacting in the first place, and confronting our fears can actually open up new paths for us, even the path of love as the video shows how he becomes friendly with everyone later on in the song.
Even if he raped her the dude is like 30 and he wouldve only raped 5-10 minutes statistically that means less than 0.000005% has been spent rapin thats not soo bad i think is forgivable
He’s so underrated. Yes, his music does get hella views but people need to give him more street cred. He’s one of the most realest and greatest singers yet
A pure gem of a song. It has pulled me through some of the most difficult times of my life. And still does to this day. Love you Alexander. Thank you for the gift of your art.

This song saved my life once. I was literally almost crashed by a train that morning after I realised my only friend at that moment wasn't my friend at all and I wanted to die for the longest time cause I didn't have any support during my depression. So I came back home heard this song and I got inspired in learning how to play the guitar, and I learned it that night. All that happened in a day but it wouldn't have changed that drastically if it wasn't that I heard the phrase "I don't wanna see you cry. You don't have to feel this emptiness". I think music can be a greater friend than most people sometimes.
I love how this shows what the quiet friend feels like most of the time. It’s so hard to express through words and frustrating you end up crying. This visual explanation was top notch.

I love that artists like Rex Orange County and Steve Lacey are reviving the sound of early 2000s neo-soul. When I shut my eyes I think I'm back in my old dorm room.
Dwele, some music by Slum Village, Raphael Saadiq (of course, right?), Cody Chestnut Headphone Masterpiece, Kindred the Family Soul, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Angie Stone, etc.

Dorian IB I was talking to my brother about the exact same thing what a coincidence! I don’t know if it’s just me but I think the longer you don’t listen to his songs the better they sound
This song is great. But more importantly, this video is a great example of having a small budget doesn't mean a bad video. The directors used their resourced incredibly well to create an effective video. I honestly, don't know that a large budget video would've been too much better if better at all.
It's so fucking great to see how far everyone in the civ has come, nak got his own shoes, Mikey's making big moves in the film and music industry and now Rex was just on one of the biggest albums possibly of the decade. Before the civ put Rex on he was a SoundCloud artist getting a couple thousand plays and now I can easily see him being one of the biggest artists of our generation. IC all the way. bless the fuck up. never stop. chase your dreams.
Tyler thanks for introducing me to steve lacy and rex we can have a break listening to rap and listen to such art such as this too. This better than pop this days.
It’s sad that most people only know this Rex song when he has so many under rated songs that get no credit :( edit: some people wanted me to recommend some of his other songs so here’s some of my favourites: untitled (Apricot princess), waiting room (Apricot princess), pluto projector (pony), belly (bcos youll never be free) and new house :) x
I see a bunch of comments that this guy is friend with everyone but no one is his real friend and this is stuck in my head a few days now and I'm feeling like I'm that friend...
@@JackSloane333 the point was no one explicitly asked for it, and in general people who comment don't seek it, especially when it's not advice, but being told what to do. My response is just that, a response to your nagging. No need to say, I can do what ever I want. I'm not arguing over what is actually allowed lol. Kind of dumb to argue over something stupid like that. That would just prove we're here for the sake of arguing. Also why would anyone preemptively say, please do not give me advice, lol.
@@AstroSully But you shouldn’t be feeling guilty, even if he hadn’t yet been cleared. It’s innocent until proven guilty. If you felt guilty you must somehow have believed he was guilty at a subconscious level- which really shouldn’t be the case unless proven.
I feel the same! And I feel like the song could also be about this. The lyrics and the video. It's like... When there's people chasing after him, he's anxious and paranoid. And then... His face changes, like he tells himself "it's okay" and when he gets back to his bike, everything is fine, everyone is nice to him.
@@WinterandNoodlethats cute. You have an opinion. So does half the world. Ha. 90s in the sense that theirs alot of passion and originality to its sound. Yes. Being that 90s was one of the golden eras in music, it's nice to still see artists come with something new and original.
4 years ago, I didn't even know who you were or that you made this video outside my street. I've been listening to the song on Pandora for a few months now and found out there was a music video. Thanks out so much for this music video. It was great the see my dad's car again back when he was alive. This song might be a bitter sweet thing for me now but it also bring great joy seeing his car and listening to this over and over again. 🙏🙏
Meh Gusta I mean it didn’t blow up or anything and it took him like a year to get to this many and it’s not like everyone is singing it like God’s plan or something.
He reminds me a little bit of myself, I have good relationships with everybody, but not enough to FEEL part of their group. It's like I am there, but at the same time I am not.
Hmm... So not the possible brutalizing of the alleged victim? Or conversely, if falsely accused, the demolition of a demonstrable talent? Ok... Cool, cool...🤔
rex will never know how much this song has impacted my life!! when i found this song i was going through some bad times, but his music helped me get through it :)
esteban balarezo i’ve been a fan of rex since Bcos You Will Never Be Free, and i can say he’s really unconventionally attractive. if he was just a talentless basement dweller he would be ug, but he’s an amazing guy and that’s what makes him so fucking cute
smol p So basically you're shallow and rather than get to know people, you'd think they're "ug", but they're amazing if they're famous, produce music, and rich? Great morals
THE MEANING OF THE VIDEO to me is Rex trying to move on with a long serious relationship. Hear me out... At the beginning it’s a sad slow tempo at first. He is sad and depressed b/c he and his partner are slowly growing apart and says not to leave so he can tell her how crazy he is for her and how hard he fell and saying he still does and “nothing is new” meaning his love is still there. Then he asks where he can go (memorable locations) to be reminded of the “good times” when life was great between the both of them. Then It shows him trying to get his mind off her by going out riding a bike, hanging with his buds, and with girls but he wasn’t happy he kept thinking about her. Next he ran into a group of dudes while riding a bike he got intimidated and ran away. Then he ran into an awkward problem with the crackhead and ran. (By now the tempo speeds up and gets a little happier/joyful). Lastly he stops and finds himself at the end of the ally with nowhere to go and decides to face his problems and not run away and move on so he goes back to those problems get on his bike and moves on with his life. This means he final accepts it and moves on and starts to dance awkwardly showing he’s being himself again and enjoying life, hanging with his buddy’s and girls at the pool. MORAL OF THE STORY: Sunflower still grow at night. Even when it’s night, dark ,and cold. Your sunflower will grow. The sun will come to brighten your life again. But just be prepared for the next dark night.
For the most park was a great decipher but Orange running away from people and being intimidated isn't what your supposed to grasp. Image those people being his problem with his relationship then him coming back to face them
the sunflower is supposed to represent that his love for the girl still grows ( at night ) she who moved to London and hes trying to cope with the long distance relationship and hes tired of being depressed so yeah
This guy seems like he doesn’t fit in anywhere but also seems to fit in everywhere
That makes so much sense 4 some reason
david banner yeah it’s kinda just a feeling you get about him
that is just my life
He's white, his music is generic and doesn't really have anything meaningful to say.
Zidders Roofurry you probably listen to lil pump or something. And wtf is wrong with him being white
I used to be single when I first listened to this song.

Me af I always get scared for nothing 😂
69 well done.
To me it shows social anxiety how at the start he felt uncomfortable and anxious but when he got chased that was a trigger to not worry.
its about his girlfriend and when she moved away he wrote her this now i think he lives nearer
to her
I agree, it seems that it's a metaphor about fears and better understanding your demons in order to approach reality differently
No matter what this song is a gem and I don’t think people should feel like they have to forget about all the good times listening to him
dont care what the f- he did just like the song, just like MJ dont care about him and kids just vibe with the music
Even if he raped her the dude is like 30 and he wouldve only raped 5-10 minutes statistically that means less than 0.000005% has been spent rapin thats not soo bad i think is forgivable

This is more 1990s retro music
definitely not 50s music lmaoo

Lyrics (Musixmatch)
I want to know
Where I can go
When you're not around
And I'm feeling down
So won't you stay for a moment
So I can say
I, I need you so
'Cause right now you know that nothing here's new
And I'm obsessed with you
Then I fell to the ground
And you smiled at me and said
I don't wanna see you cry
You don't have to feel this emptiness
She said I love you till the day that I die
Well maybe she's right
'Cause I don't wanna feel like I'm not me
And to be honest I don't even know why
I let myself get down in the first place
Tryna keep my mind at bay
Sunflower still grows at night
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes
Make it down down, do-do-down
Diggy dig down, du du du du
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes
You know you need to get yourself to sleep and dream
A dream of you and I
There's no need to keep an open eye
I promise I'm the one for you
Just let me hold you in these arms tonight
I'm lucky to be me and you can see it in my face
Back when I fucked my shit up too many times
Why would I let myself get down in the first place
Tryna keep my mind at bay
Sunflower still grows at night
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes
Make it down down, do-do-down
Diggy dig down, du du du
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes
And so she sat me down and told me that I didn't have to cry
Said I didn't need to get down and feel empty inside
And told me that she'll love me for as long as she's alive
And well, maybe she's right, 'cause I hate it when I feel like I'm not me
See, I honestly, don't even know why
I, I honestly don't even know why
Tryna keep my mind at bay
Sunflower still grows at night
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes
Make it down down, do-do-down
Diggy dig down, du du du
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes 🎶

And so she sat me down and told me that I didn't have to cry
Said I didn't need to get down and feel empty inside
And told me that she love me for as long as she's alive
And well, maybe she's right, 'cause I hate it when I feel like I'm not me
See, I honestly, don't even know why
I, I honestly don't even know why
[Chorus]
Tryna keep my mind at bay
Sunflowers still grows at night
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes
Make it down down, do-do-down
Diggy dig down, du du du
Waiting for a minute till the sun's seen through my eyes
And you smiled at me and said
"And she smiled at me and said" is the correct :D but really nice man thanks!
Thanks for being that guy
A big respect for the people in 2022 saw this masterpiece...

I love that artists like Rex Orange County and Steve Lacey are reviving the sound of early 2000s neo-soul. When I shut my eyes I think I'm back in my old dorm room.
Guapa Grande got any recommendations from then?
Guapa Grande (early 2000s)
Dwele, some music by Slum Village, Raphael Saadiq (of course, right?), Cody Chestnut Headphone Masterpiece, Kindred the Family Soul, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Angie Stone, etc.
Anthony Hamilton, India.Arie, Goapele, Digable Planets (early 90s), D'angelo, Bilal, Lauryn Hill, Glenn Lewis, Rahsaan Patterson...
Raheem Devaughn, Van Hunt, Joss Stone, Lyfe, Lucy Pearl, Dave Hollister. There were many more but these are my favs.

Dorian IB I was talking to my brother about the exact same thing what a coincidence! I don’t know if it’s just me but I think the longer you don’t listen to his songs the better they sound
His dancing energy at 3:23 is my ultimate life goal.
This song is great. But more importantly, this video is a great example of having a small budget doesn't mean a bad video. The directors used their resourced incredibly well to create an effective video. I honestly, don't know that a large budget video would've been too much better if better at all.
3:22 literally me dancing to his music

Yeaahhhhh
Dude I feel like I keeping seeing you in the comments sections in video I watch. Love your channel btw
Oh hey dude
It's so fucking great to see how far everyone in the civ has come, nak got his own shoes, Mikey's making big moves in the film and music industry and now Rex was just on one of the biggest albums possibly of the decade. Before the civ put Rex on he was a SoundCloud artist getting a couple thousand plays and now I can easily see him being one of the biggest artists of our generation. IC all the way. bless the fuck up. never stop. chase your dreams.
Bless the IC but would hardly say that they put rex on especially in the UK.
i knew about him b4 tylers album lol and im in the US
Sorry kinda new can you clarify what the "civ" and "IC" are? And who nak is?
I salute the people who is still listening to this......

Tyler thanks for introducing me to steve lacy and rex we can have a break listening to rap and listen to such art such as this too. This better than pop this days.
oh my god finally someone said it , ikr
Fr man shout out T because he brought me to a whole new way of seeing things. I love that man.
Lmao you’re acting like this and Steve Lacy are the only good non rap artists out there, open your mind buddy
Mr. Super Fly He said introducing, fuck face. He didn't say that's all he listens to.
ahahah yes my g
It’s sad that most people only know this Rex song when he has so many under rated songs that get no credit :( edit: some people wanted me to recommend some of his other songs so here’s some of my favourites: untitled (Apricot princess), waiting room (Apricot princess), pluto projector (pony), belly (bcos youll never be free) and new house :) x
Then do something

@@JackSloane333 no one asked for obvious advice, lol
@@JackSloane333 the point was no one explicitly asked for it, and in general people who comment don't seek it, especially when it's not advice, but being told what to do. My response is just that, a response to your nagging. No need to say, I can do what ever I want. I'm not arguing over what is actually allowed lol. Kind of dumb to argue over something stupid like that. That would just prove we're here for the sake of arguing. Also why would anyone preemptively say, please do not give me advice, lol.
@@JackSloane333 your not giving advice. Your judging. Also, I'm explicitly refusing it.
I love how the whole video is so aesthetic it matches the song perfectly
I'm overwhelmed rn this is too good.

youre so pretty!

here after my boy was cleared. I hope people who were quick to accuse him are quick to forgive .
the funny thing is now people could be confused about who you're talking about
Finally I can listen to him without feeling guilty and with a peace of mind.
@@AstroSully But you shouldn’t be feeling guilty, even if he hadn’t yet been cleared. It’s innocent until proven guilty. If you felt guilty you must somehow have believed he was guilty at a subconscious level- which really shouldn’t be the case unless proven.
@@solivagant1170 Yes just didn't feeling right when the case was pending.
Somehow this song always calms down my anxiety and paranoia. Thank you Rex.
I feel the same! And I feel like the song could also be about this. The lyrics and the video. It's like... When there's people chasing after him, he's anxious and paranoid. And then... His face changes, like he tells himself "it's okay" and when he gets back to his bike, everything is fine, everyone is nice to him.
That’s what I’m sayinggg

2. reflects the past
3. run away from facing it

5. euphoria

*YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME NOW*
DAMMIT WHERE WILL I GET GOOD MUSIC FROM NOW JIM
Rex is highkey cute
Léna Bourgine no he s not cute only rich and famous
esteban balarezo i’ve been a fan of rex since Bcos You Will Never Be Free, and i can say he’s really unconventionally attractive. if he was just a talentless basement dweller he would be ug, but he’s an amazing guy and that’s what makes him so fucking cute
He isn’t famous
Type of hoe that would see this guy before getting to listen to his music and scream ew
smol p
So basically you're shallow and rather than get to know people, you'd think they're "ug", but they're amazing if they're famous, produce music, and rich? Great morals
what a friendly and generous crackhead, good on him
bruh he’s from the uk lmao
THE MEANING OF THE VIDEO to me is Rex trying to move on with a long serious relationship.
Hear me out... At the beginning it’s a sad slow tempo at first. He is sad and depressed b/c he and his partner are slowly growing apart and says not to leave so he can tell her how crazy he is for her and how hard he fell and saying he still does and “nothing is new” meaning his love is still there. Then he asks where he can go (memorable locations) to be reminded of the “good times” when life was great between the both of them.
Then It shows him trying to get his mind off her by going out riding a bike, hanging with his buds, and with girls but he wasn’t happy he kept thinking about her. Next he ran into a group of dudes while riding a bike he got intimidated and ran away. Then he ran into an awkward problem with the crackhead and ran. (By now the tempo speeds up and gets a little happier/joyful). Lastly he stops and finds himself at the end of the ally with nowhere to go and decides to face his problems and not run away and move on so he goes back to those problems get on his bike and moves on with his life.
This means he final accepts it and moves on and starts to dance awkwardly showing he’s being himself again and enjoying life, hanging with his buddy’s and girls at the pool.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Sunflower still grow at night. Even when it’s night, dark ,and cold. Your sunflower will grow. The sun will come to brighten your life again. But just be prepared for the next dark night.
nice interpretation
Josiah See wow 😃
Josiah See woahh.
For the most park was a great decipher but Orange running away from people and being intimidated isn't what your supposed to grasp. Image those people being his problem with his relationship then him coming back to face them
the sunflower is supposed to represent that his love for the girl still grows ( at night ) she who moved to London and hes trying to cope with the long distance relationship and hes tired of being depressed so yeah
