This man was behind the Harlem Shake craze. He has done some of the most outlandish things UA-cam has to offer as "Filthy Frank". He went from silly, but absolutely talented tracks as "Pink Guy" to tracks like what you just heard. He can jump from style to style. He wrote a book as well. A multitalented artist for sure.
Here's some mythology for you. Kinda necessary for someone to get the video. I'll mix Roman and Greek names, as some of them sound better in one tradition, some in the other, and they're basically the same gods and creatures, just named differently. A Satyr is a half man, half goat. A servant of the god of winemaking, fertility, and insanity, Dionysus(Bacchus, in the other tradition). They are known for being really obsessed with... Adult fun times... Now... Cupid is a nasty one. He shoots golden tipped arrows at people and makes them fall for each other. Or, if he's feeling especially cruel, only shoots a gold tipped arrow at one of them(or even shoots the other one with a lead ball tipped arrow that makes them repulsed with the other person, but that's just a trivia side note). Now... Imagine being a Satyr, with an arrow of Cupid stuck in his back... But the partner wasn't shot. Your urges... your... desires... are now fighting with your new found devotion for the person. And you know they don't feel the same. You would rather bleed out from the wound than fulfill your desires and thus hurt the person you love. The song itself is about a failing relationship, if I get the lyrics right, but the video gives it that special added depth if you're familiar enough with mythology to get what it's trying to say. As an ending note, "You should be with him. I can't compete." might just be one of my favorite lines in recent years.
He’s a satyr which has the lower half of a goat and upper body of a human. These creatures were known in mythology as very lustful, since he has been hit by the arrow (believing that this cupid’s arrow) he is only used to being lustful so the love from the arrow is killing him.
The stuff with 88rising like Midsummer Madness is nice if you want decent "vibe out" music that you dont really feel like paying attention to lyrical content. But Joji has that heart ripped out of chest aspect and it's a beautiful thing
I'm going to be honest. First Vid I've seen and i already love this channel. Good sound and visual quality, open minded, very polite guy, doesn't talk 4 out of 6 minutes and actually listens to the entire song. Great job.
Yellow- rich Brian, it’s a song with amazing vocals, but if you dig in his past music you will see that it’s no where near what he is now as far as genre goes
I can't say anything that hasn't already been said a thousand times by Millennials who've grown up watching Filthy Frank shit. The dude has gone through a metamorphosis like nothing I've ever seen (as a Gen X dude). It's so amazing to see this level of artistry.
Honestly, I clicked on this because the song title reminded me of Whispers in the Dark by Skillet. Warning, if you use this song, Skillet is actually a Christain Rock band, but their songs can be used for a variety of circumstances
Hmm. No comment, on the song that is the subject of this video. However, speaking of Slow Dancing, I have to offer a high energy and intense suggestion that you check out a song called (Slow Dancing) Swayin' to the Music, by Johnny Rivers. It is one of those songs that sounds, in its arrangement, exactly like the subject of the song. If that seems confusing, just listen to it for twenty or thirty seconds and you'll understand what I mean.
Possibbly because I'm Not American I find him hard to understand in the first minutes and when he is singing softly. Voice otherwise smooth and relaxing. Can't understand all the lyrics
REALY NOT NECESARU TO LOOK AT THE LYRIC , WHEN YOU WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO . totaly understand every single word, why the reason of read the lyrics ? worst decision if the video are insteresting and the voice sounds clean , WHY NEED TO READ THE LYRIC between watching the music vidoe >:( ???
I must be too old to understand lyrics but I do recognize he has great voice (enunciation!!!) Captions needed to read along with the Iyrics. Like I said.. I might be too old to appreciate. I VOTE NO TO HEAR MORE.
That’s UA-cam Royalty right there “Filthy Frank” or Pink Guy! He is so talented all around, definitely go down Joji rabbit hole 🔥
Ay boss...
@@LongandWeirdName I have a canc… yeah let’s not say that here actually
You can habada thumbs up boss.

@@SsaiyanDorge I habada cancel culture on my back.

some of the pink guy songs are some of the best rap/hip hop tracks ive ever heard tbh

Thanks! This was educational
@@evervillalobos3971 congrats on saying the same thing as the other comment
Run - Joji its another interesting video that i think you would enjoy, greetings from Chile :)
I had to be educated by a friend of mine.
I didn’t know who Filthy Frank was when I heard this the first time.
Wtf how old are you
Joji is the only man that has made me cry just from vibes
The stuff with 88rising like Midsummer Madness is nice if you want decent "vibe out" music that you dont really feel like paying attention to lyrical content. But Joji has that heart ripped out of chest aspect and it's a beautiful thing
The diversity of my playlist is awesome since ive found your channel.
This, and his song Run are two of my personal favorite Joji tracks. Videos are dope as well.
I'm going to be honest. First Vid I've seen and i already love this channel. Good sound and visual quality, open minded, very polite guy, doesn't talk 4 out of 6 minutes and actually listens to the entire song. Great job.
Run by Joji for sure such a great song
Joji is SO VERY underrated. It's a shame....
His ballads are good 👍 it's ben a minute since I've heard a good one
Human cake, by Filthy Frank.
Do it.
Yellow- rich Brian, it’s a song with amazing vocals, but if you dig in his past music you will see that it’s no where near what he is now as far as genre goes
Love this song
I love this song. You should listen to more Joji, whether or not you do a reaction. Thanks for the video!
it’s basically saying he doesn’t want a relationship with someone he doesn’t know or like someone who won’t open up and be forthcoming.
“Winter” By Benee. So clutch. Great song
love u
more joji would be great! This song only scratches the surface of what this man can do
This song hits even though I'm in a good marriage .
I think it's something like, he is part animal to show he was hunted like game and maybe shot by cupid and abandoned to die.
I never really got the point of the visuals but this song tho… god dayum
I can't say anything that hasn't already been said a thousand times by Millennials who've grown up watching Filthy Frank shit. The dude has gone through a metamorphosis like nothing I've ever seen (as a Gen X dude). It's so amazing to see this level of artistry.
I would love to see you react to more Joji.
You gotta do more joji dude, check out "yeah right"
Joji gives me an excuse to listen to beautiful music like this, I couldn't do it if it wasn't him
I also like 777 by Joji. It's an interesting song too.
same guy that taught Japanese 101
You have to listen to Yeah right by Joji
when he paused on the beat drop I got so unsatisfied
React to more joji!!! He's a dope artist, want ya to hear somd bangers :)
You gotta hear Nicklodeon girls next
Greek Tragedy
Honestly, I clicked on this because the song title reminded me of Whispers in the Dark by Skillet. Warning, if you use this song, Skillet is actually a Christain Rock band, but their songs can be used for a variety of circumstances
Please react to more Joji “daylight “ feat diplo
