    Found this song yesterday. My wife’s water broke at 4 pm. We listened to it during labour. All three of us listened to it together once he was born. Then when I came home the clip pretty much sums how I wish I could dance right now. Been watching it non stop. Thanks for making it.

      Wow- what an amazing time to be in - listening to a euphorically tuned song and the feeling of everything being in slow motion. You and your wife smiling and crying and your baby in your arms, while you fall in love with your newborn. Congratulations Joshua. I wish you nothing but the best for your family and yourself. Bless!! 💐

      Nkosinathi Mngomezulu When you say a person has "two left feet" you are calling someone a bad dancer so in this line Chance is saying "1, 2, 1, 2" signifying the step timing you use while dancing "always on beat" and then "you must have been born with two right feet" meaning his daughter is a natural born good dancer who has good rhythm.

    Aw I remember being up at 3 am years ago wrapped in my blankets in the dark, when I heard this song for the 1st time. 🎶 It was so emotive, I just cried & was imagining the day when I met the man who would make me feel all these things. 🥲🥰 I didn’t really think it was possible to meet someone checked all my boxes.
    Happy to say I met him & he’s greater than I could ever imagine and every time I hear this song I think about him. 🥰💖 also, the dancing 😍🔥🎶 let me spin & excite you.

    In the ground we've buried, the seeds of our pear tree.
    All the things we've carried, now we're down to our bare feet.
    May I have this dance?
    Can I say something crazy? I love you.
    Give me both your hands, let me stay and excite you.
    We're about to inherit the sins of our parents.
    And all the people we've passed through, now we're down to the last two.
    May I have this dance?
    Can I say something crazy? I love you.
    Give me both your hands, let me stay and excite you.
    You've got your.. Your mother's eyes.
    You've got your grandmother's ring.
    You've got your daddy's discernment.
    Girl, you've did your thing.
    Oh. Give me one more.
    One two one two always on beat, you must've been born with two right feet.
    I know you been looking for something concrete, you must've been born with two right feet.
    Said one two one two always on beat, I know you been looking for something concrete.
    you must've been born with two right feet, you must've been born with two right feet.
    Said I love you more than your mother, more than you love yourself.
    May I have this dance?
    Can I say something crazy? I love you.
    Give me one more chance, give me one more chance, give me one more.
    Let me stay and excite you.
    Can I say something crazy? I love you.
    Give me one more chance, give me one more chance, give me one more.
    Let me stay and excite you.

  • @Bad_At_Parties
    @Bad_At_Parties 2 роки тому +37

    There's something special about the message in the song. I've gotten the sense that it's about two people, probably very young, who have been through a lot of individual hardship and they are trying to come together and be a couple despite all the things that make each other complicated. There may even be some shared pain between them, since one speaker is asking for forgiveness and to dance again. It underscores how hard relationships are, because two very different and complex people are trying to share their lives together while being weighed down by the problems their own genetic histories and families give them, the hardships and pressures put on them by the universe/world around them, and the issues that can arise by trying to bind two souls together. But they are trying their best to make it work, because the love feels real. There is something very inspiring about that.

    Amazing video ain't it? Love that it's one shot and just focused on simple, yet compelling choreography. And with having such a recogniseable "character" such as Chance without showing too much of his face is true genius. As a social media addicted humans, we've become so accustomed seeing filtered celeb like "faces". This proves that it's what you don't see, that is most compelling.

    [Chorus: Francis and the Lights]
    May I have this dance to make it up to you?
    Can I say something crazy? I love you
    Give me both your hands to make it up to you
    Let me spin and excite you

    Girl, you did your thing, oh, give me one more
    One, two, one, two, always on beat
    You must have been born with two right feet
    I know you've been looking for something concrete
    You must have been born with two right feet
    Say one, two, one, two, always on beat
    I know you've been looking for something concrete
    You must have been born with two right feet
    You must have been born with two right feet
    Said I love you more than your mother
    More than you love yourself
    [Chorus: Francis and the Lights]
    May I have this dance to make it up to you?
    Can I say something crazy? I love you

      Francis prob doesn't like being compared to Phil as Francis seems so unique and doing his own thing. Don't take it negatively Francis, you are your own musician and incredibly unique in everything you do. You do happen to sound like Phil but I think that is only a strength as it is a crazy good soothing voice style. I've watched all your videos since listening to this and I'm a fan for life already.

    In the ground, we bury
    The seeds of a pear tree
    All the things, we carried
    Now we're down to our bare feet
    May I have this dance to make it up to you?
    Can I say something crazy? I love you
    Give me both your hands to make it up to you
    Let me spin and excite you
    We are bound to inherit
    The sins of our parents
    And all of the people we passed through
    Now we're down to the last two
    May I have this dance to make it up to you?
    Can I say something crazy? I love you
    Give me both your hands to make it up to you
    Let me spin and excite you
    Chance The Rapper:
    You've got your, your mother's eyes
    You've got your, your grandmother's ring
    You've got your daddy's discernment
    Girl, you did your thing, oh, give me one more
    One, two, one, two, always on beat
    You must have been born with two right feet
    I know you've been looking for something concrete
    You must have been born with two right feet
    Say one, two, one, two, always on beat
    I know you've been looking for something concrete
    You must have been born with two right feet
    You must have been born with two right feet
    Said I love you more than your mother
    More than you love yourself
    May I have this dance to make it up to you?
    Can I say something crazy? I love you
    Give me one more chance, give me one more chance
    Give me one more, let me spin and excite you
    May I have this dance to make it up to you?
    Can I say something crazy? I love you
    Give me one more chance, give me one more chance
    Give me one more, let me spin and excite you

      @Ollieisskaxxx 7 років тому +494

      Victory Obot Because his voice sounds like Phill Collins, who had multiple songs in the film. :)

      2 left feet means you can't dance. I think he means that they can dance by saying 2 right feet.
