    I can’t put into words how many times I have had this song on repeat, while I am in my creative moments and cried endlessly. Simply because I was facing my fears. It’s the only song I would listen to for hours, sometimes days at a time nonstop. Idk It just spoke to me. It Reminded me of my worth, even if no one else sees it, or believes in me God does. Thank you for sharing pieces of you with me 💕✝️

    I’ve cried so much to this so on repeat!!! And it hits home Everytime! Being an outcast for so long then finally coming into your own is such a beautiful feeling. Having the courage to just be unapologetically you and their problems with you are just that theirs! Such a wonderful place to be in. Thank you for giving us this beautiful piece of you. 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

    It's very seldom that art touches the heart like this. You divested yourself of the stagnant cocoon of doubt and inhibition to evolve into the dazzling beauty that is embracing yourself and the purest truth. As a a fellow black gay man I have looked up to you for many years and with this as always you showcased the divine femininity & masculinity we all possess. Durand you are to be respected and applauded, the magic you create is sooo deeply appreciated and refreshing to many spirits I assure you. Quite frankly that range just don't quit and I will stan forever for that alone. I saw God in this. I of course saw You in this. And I saw Me in this. Thank you for the gift of melodious encouragement 💞🤎🙂

    [Chorus]
    (They'll comprehend once you find the right melody)
    What does that mean?
    Can you explain please?
    (We’ll understand once you find your identity)
    That's whatcha mean, it's like (1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah!)
    [VERSE I]
    You must really hate me and I don't know why
    Knowing I'm here but won't look me in the eye
    First you run me ragged up and down the scale
    Then later can’t figure out why you’re out of breath
    [Chorus]
    (They'll comprehend once you find the right melody)
    What does that mean?
    Can you explain please?
    (We’ll understand once you find your identity)
    That's whatcha mean, it's like (1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah!)
    [VERSE II]
    I was all alone in my cocoon
    I had gotten (so comfy in my solitude)
    Until one day I opened up in a way (way)
    That changed my shit and I'll never be the same...
    Thank you, Bravery
    (Running for president and going nowhere
    Sending out a search
    Party to find you
    Give me the quality, spare the dramatic)
    Or we won't know if it's really there
    [Chorus]
    (They'll comprehend once you find the right melody)
    What does that mean?
    Can you explain please?
    (We’ll understand once you find your identity)
    That's whatcha mean, it's like (1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah!)
    Like 1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah!
    Like 1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah!

    Oh, another muthafuckin' thang... Hatecho asssssssss...)

    Since having the absolute pleasure of listening to "Company" about a week ago, which led to one song after the next. I lost my mind...I fell in love that moment. Even impulsively sending him a IG msg, apologizing for sending it, 😂, but i had to. Unfortunately, I was not familiar with Durand Bernarr prior. Since I've search back 4, 5, 6 years. All I can say is Durand, your versatility in every way -voice, sound, genre, style, bad bitch/nigga- speaks to a REAL talent. You are an ARTIST ❤.
