This man can literally do whatever he wants to do. Sing, dance, act, write songs, do comedy, drama, disappear for a long time and just come back to drop hits, upload a whole damn album on your UA-cam for free. A personification of the word artist.
Fr he inspired me to make new beats !!
People always forget how great of a rapper he was when he actually rapped
Him and Tyler are the best..
We all can just belive in your self my guy
Now Im just waiting for him to fly or swing from webs
Can we take a minute to appreciate this man's artistic range.
Black people can do anything
@@unyieldingpanda, why'd you have to make it into a race thing?
Houdini Weenie Because black people can do anything
@@isaiah_w anyone can do anything not dependent on race
Yes, it's really generic. He's trying to emulate old school songs, but fails miserably. People seem to like it though, but that's not a surprise during an era where Trump is the president.
So then she was his drug. He was weak, looked sick before he came over to her. His face and energy changes as soon as he's near her. He reaches the height of his fix when he starts dancing and the lights start flickering. When she leaves the high is over and he's back to his lonely sober state. This man is a genius. I love his art form.
*I LOVE the Peacock Dance he did for her. I need my next mate to do this exact dance to get my attention or I don't even want him. 😂😂😂
i gotchu... hold up.. just let me get these feathers right real quick gurl
rs tho i didnt even understand that at first, thanks 4 pointing it out :]
this expanded my entire perspective of the video. 🤩 thank youuu
When he he hit that sick slide without moving damn he had my heart fr
Is it bad that this is my life right now?
This is my ultimate feel-good song, no matter where I am or what situation I’m in, I always feel so much better after listening to this song.
Can you give us some love over here ?

gotta admit it, this comment right here 🤭 i stand for 🙋♀️
god was having a good day when he created donald glover
O lil bit weird day, but good
@@uncleiroh7910 and he also loves some butstuff x|D
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Tyler Wofford idk it's like he's ON DRUGS? it might've said he was high somewhere in the song and video
gods was having an acid trip
His face, his movements are so expressive. He is a gifted artist.
he's also a actor, that would explain the good acting from him
@@sam-hb5zo not all actors are good actors, also theres good acting and theres this where its almost too real to be an act if you get what i mean anyways amazing artist
i love this man so much. like just everything about him. his artistic range is so amazing. the way he can handle songs and the hidden messages behind his songs. it’s beautiful
He's like the more talented version of Drake
If I look at this as a metaphor for a relationship developing but going nowhere it hits deep. It's a dance. You act a certain way to try and seduce the other person, they don't show interest initially but they eventually see good qualities in you, give you a chance, but ultimately it you're not made for eachother and the attraction is gone
...and all in a few seconds...clock said 9:30 when he started, end of song...9:30
@@edredd19 ooh nice catch. it’s like he has regressed back to where he was in the beginning of the video. he’s back to his lonely, sober state.
I feel like it's as if he has good qualities but he has problems that prevent the relationship from going anywhere.
You just perfectly described the most recent relationship I was in. Felt like she led me on and pushed me off a cliff😔
Orrrrr she was only interested in the performance version of himself. Maybe it was saying we do all this peacocking to entice someone but it’s a waste of time to not lead with anything but your authentic self
the ending gives me chills every single time! Something about the way he sits back in the same spot he was sitting in the beginning.
cause his high wore off when she left

Wait, there are other timelines?
this is what troy was doing in the darkest timeline while everyone was being evil

Are people just discovering community now? That comment is on every song lately xd
@@ruipeneda9917 it was recently added on netflix so maybe that has something to do with it

This man deserves way more attention. Props to him
I love how he just sits back down again, like he's doing this to everyone there.
It’s like after all the efforts he exerted to please people/lover/s, at the end of he’s always the one being left.
look at the clock before and after the song. it stays there. it was all in his head
@@SpiderElm it was all a dream
if someone handed me a perfectly intact egg out their pocket and it had a note in it that said "im so high" i would 110% believe them
u probably high too
Yeah if that happened to me I'd be like, "shit I guess I am too dude"
#shitmath
I never laughed so hard at a comment 😂😂😂
her reaction was on point
I finally realized what this music video means!
In the beginning Donald looks ill, he is pale and has bags under his eyes,
He basically looks like an addict that is going through Drug withdrawal.
then he meets a Girl and he starts to feel his high again, he looks healthy & happy again.
Him and the Girl have some fun, but eventually she leaves the restaurant,
As soon as she leaves Donald starts to lose his high again.
He then sits down at the table he was sitting at before he met the girl,
implying that there is a continuous cycle of him finding a girl and being lonely after the girl leaves.
the whole ("Ill never be sober, now i'm so high") hook implies that he will never be normal (emotionally), he will either be NOT High (Sad) or High (In Love)
*the clock not moving represents that nothing has changed, he keeps going through the same cycle without anything changing
or the clock shows that what happens in the video was all of his imagination (ie the over-the-top dance move at the table) if he ever met a girl and have the courage to approach her even with his condition but ultimately realizing at the end that with his addiction no girl would accept him or even the slightest interest like the girl in the video which she almost dance to him ( accepts him).

The audio quality is awe-inspiring and you can really sense it with the mixing of the tracks. They tenderly made every song with heavy emphasis on the audio being superb. The album follows the theme of a young man figuring out his way in life weather it be friends or heartbreak to a tee. You can really feel the album come in one big melting pot focusing on the highs and lows of a teenager growing into the man he desperately wants to become. The flow of the album starts off with a low somber tone song to set the tone and crescendo's all the way to the high point of the album when the first track of side B comes on (The Palisades) and then slowly falls down. There are a variety of song messages. In some it talks about friendship growing up and having to let go of those. Others it talks about a somber heartache that never leaves. This all takes place on a sunset of Kauai, Hawaii, which is shown on the artwork. For the young adults, this album will surely resonate with you and leaves you peaceful knowing that everything will pass and come together.

I just noticed when she moves away the music fades away because she was the music to him, him not being sober, the drug.

Reading the comments, everyone is putting the song together with how the song resonates with them. And i just think its so beautiful a song can do that.
This song got me through a rough time in my life. I listen to it every so often thinking of how far I've come since then.
Employees: don't worry bout that guy he does that with all our customers, we pay him a few cents to give them a little show while they wait.

The thing that I like about Childish Gambino is that he is so unpredictable! You never know what he may come with! Usually it is something strange and different but has a deeper meaning. He really is a innovative artist in so many ways. His videos make you think and are really something to talk about! I really try to understand how this dude thinks. I don’t really understand him completely. Honestly, I don’t think that we are supposed to. He is the epitome’ of a true artist! Peace.
Its January 2022, lets see how many legends are listening to this masterpiece💚

2024 we still listening
I’ve recently developed a Childish Gambino/Donald Glover obsession. This man is crazy talented and weirdly wonderful. Hence, the obsession.
I have a massive crush on Donald
The beat drop is so lit
Right? He’s a great actor, comedian, and singer. He’s truly an inspiration to a lot of people
Welcome to the club.
Atlanta is incredible
honestly one of the most talented people i have ever heard of
Dream Theater is the most talented. Tool close but they are second.
Lea Oversteegen Since MJ
He's super hit or miss imo, but yeah. When he isn't doing trappy fuckboy shit he knows how to make some seriously grooving rhythms. His new album is great for that reason
He's an actor, a writer, a rapper, an RnB artist, a great producer, an author FRICK MAN IS THERE ANYTHING DONALD GLOVER CANT DO?
he cant be god
i wish donald glover and frank ocean makes a music.
Manifesting😢❤
It will be too powerful collaboration to have.
I still love this song so much and the video...the choreography is insane and Danny Glover just makes it all work!

I like how the clock has not moved at all , it almost feels like all of this was just in his head.
My Nigga how did you even notice that😭
cool thing the reason why it doesnt move is because childish the boi stopped time
check out the story its insane for how he planned and made the songs
0:58 “baby just give me some time... if u just give me some time, i can open up ur mind”
good thinking,we thought i was were the only one to notice it, it's like he meant to refer to that moment when someone sometimes fantasize about the moment in which they think like they will meet someone special in the loneliest place ever, ...
Man, this song is so good it makes me forget the ending to the music video every time.
just heard for the first time and i love the whole concept and sound, fantastic!!!!!

A day in the life of Krieg The Psycho
is this not how to do it. I thought this was an instructional video. This could explain some of my recent police charges.
At least he didnt forget to put the letter in unlike Chang
I love all the MJ allusions in this. From the vocals, to the ad-libs, to the subtleties in his dance moves. Hell, the keyboard throughout is reminiscent of MJ’s “The Way You Love Me”
Do you mean "The Way You Make Me Feel"? Because I get those same vibes from this video.
@@jhetgrabis6137 This is the song I mean, it’s more of an obscure one: ua-cam.com/video/qWr8M7zwkME/v-deo.html
It’s been 7 years and still such a good song.
This is probably one my favorite music videos of all time.
all his music videos are good
I'd put it right up there with Drop from Pharcyde, You Got Me from the Roots, 2 of my other favorites
same lol
Look up haste el amanecer by Nicky Jam. It's in Spanish, but it looks very similar.
mine too
Donald Glover: Singer, Actor, Writer, Dancer, Rapper, Comedian... is there anything this man CAN'T do?
Yes, he can't run up the Twin Towers while drinking Iced Tea and then fly afterwards.
Produce
+michael coughlin He actually can. He's done some of his own stuff
He can't be spiderman. Jk😂😂 lol
+Ian Maser He's a voice actor for regular show and Adventure Time too :c he's perfect
What can this guy not do, like seriously, such an inspiration
This song will forever have a special place in my heart
Legend has it he is still sitting in that restaurant singing to strangers. Day. And. Night.
+Alex Marshall Is the restaurant in Atlanta?
It should have been filmed at the varsity search it up if you dont where that is
Was this a reference to Days Go By by Dirty Vegas?
Alex Marshall 💀💀💀💀
Alex Marshall wish he'd sing to me
I'm sorry but this man may be the greatest celebrity there is . He can sing, act, rap, do stand up, dance like a fish outta water
he got it all
And all at the young age of 29 lol
He's 31
MrLazyLatino my god
Haha that reaction made me laugh more than I should've
I don’t know why when you see him start dancing in the background it just hits that part of my heart and speaks to me. Truly a masterpiece
This is quite possibly one of the greatest music videos ever.
I agree. The message of this video can be taken many different ways but for meI feel as if everything that happens is in the mans imagination. Imagine a scenario where you are drunk at a resturant and your ex comes in. Would you realistically do all of that dancing, etc.. to get their attention all to watch them walk away like it never happened? It almost feels as if the interaction between the two are fake and the only thing that wasn't in the mans head was was him stairing as she walks away.
I aint never has a girlfriend but this shit so deep i miss my ex now
Oh my fuck.
Anthony Cassidy let me pull out marvins room
Some Guy
I hope you are trolling lol
Breh that's like that saying when people say,
Drake's songs got you missing people you don't even know.
Oliver Thomas Glad you got the joke bro!!!!
I'm in love with the song, music video, and the amount of meme or scenarios based on him sliding or him dancing etc
I find myself repeatedly coming back to this video because of how much I relate. I oftentimes too need other people to fill the void of me not wanting to be alone. I constantly need the attention of the opposite sex just to feel validated. It puts me at an ultimate high when I'm around the person that validates me just like when Donald was close to his source of happiness. And when the person leaves the high is gone and I inevitably crash.
You're not alone, buddy. Going through the exact same vicious cycle. A suspicion has aroused in me that the world is trying, through this dysfunctional experience, to signal us to start loving ourselves, to start thinking that self-validation overrules every validation given to us by another person, whoever that may be. stay strong, one day the validation you'll value the most will be yours towards yourself.
yall should just do the letting go technique by david hawkins or the sedona method. problem solved
Honestly, Bright ig's story bring me here. And I love this song after I listen over and over 🥰
His head: she love me.

Jesus the cinematography in these music videos
Right? The composition of these videos is amazing.
jeez maybe sandy can get get me a dictionary so i can undestand what your saying
lol jk
Sean Heavenmount its because he is also an actor in multiple movies so he has great cinematographers
Its dedication man, he has a lot of it.
he probably directed then himself
Slightly high gambino
Hmmm
He's got It! Talent, depth, and more talent.
Wow this is pure Nostalgia for me. Wish Gambino released more stuff like this like he did back in the day.
How great would it be if every Gambino video took place in the same 24 hour diner with consistent characters and weird supernatural shit happening?
Sweatpants took place in a dinner with super natural shit happening too.
It would have to only include the ones in a diner, but yeah, that would be pretty neat. I mean, he's had plenty where he's not in diners.
Some shit D.respect would say.
Trippy
>> True. The lesson would be, "don't hit the loud without money for food while waiting for the trip to 'Kauai.'"

Best comment ever!
dead XD
this is art
Is there anything this genius cannot do?!? Acting, writing, singing, producing, directing, stylish as well. And he's very easy on my eyes. Thank God he's a 70's baby.
i keep coming back to dis mind blowing every single time i watch it
Ian... super fucking impressed with this. Congrats on the amazing choreography!!!!!
I swear it's like watching Ian! Like he took his soul and just moved. It's so dope.
KYLE HANAGAMI who is Ian?
Michael Moscrop Ian Eastwood
Yen, i am Yang who is Ian Westwood?
Michael Moscrop he's a choreographer/dancer and is quite famous. He choreographed Childish Gambino's dance in this video.
Did that nigga just croak like a frog at 1:28?
Hahaha
He's an alien that's why lol apparently if you watch all his videos it shows it
Living Like Edwin I've seen all of them several times. I was hoping this one was somewhat normal but Gambino vids always have something in it lol
So what exactly is the alien theory going on and in what music video does it start and what's going on with it??
It starts on The Worst Guys,and I believe it continues with Sweatpants, 3005, Telegraph Ave, and now Sober. Basically, Gambino becomes an alien, infects other people with it, then overtime destroys the world. That's my take on it anyway.
Still one of the most detailed music video. Out there! Director was on point, the videography and cinematography.. choreography! This is still my one of my favorite song to this day!
Anyone else notice in the first verse he didn’t speak and when the woman walked away and bino was sitting alone, something happed to his throat like a frog like he got he voice back and second verse he was able to talk.
This song is a classic, and the video for it is perfect
the amount of times I've seen this would confuse the government
you don't even know
It's the type of vid you gotta hit every time you're on UA-cam
1:29 look at his throat...
+Christian Khoury WHAT THE HELL IS THAT
for real tho. what was that? lol
I just love how Childish Gambino dances
The part where he is spinning on the table is unbelievable! Great song 🎵.
this song gave me goose bumps of how good it is :D
For me, this video represents a guy who never expresses himself because he's too afraid to be looked at as different. He creates a fantasy where he's charismatic, and weird, and unafraid to dance and be himself. Y'all know that feeling when you want to do you own thing, but you don't want everyone thinking you're the weirdo? When Gambino says, "And now that's it's over/ Ill never be sober/ I couldn't believe/ But now Im so high," what I think he's saying is that he didn't believe he could truly express himself, but now he doesn't care if you think he's weird. He's just going be himself no matter what.
Edit: I should add that this is just my interpretation of this video. Maybe for Donald this video means something else, idk. For me, the really cool thing about art is that we can all interpret it in different ways based on our life experiences. So, when you discuss art with someone, you're not just sharing opinions on that specific thing, but you're also sharing life experiences in a certain way.
Read his reply again. He says he creates a fantasy where he is everything he wants to be.
Hlokir you told him bro
Matt Forsythe
Jeremy Hebert no you told daniel wills
man its about a break up and the fact that he cant stand it so he gets high. both the lyrics and the video are self explanatory.
almost all of gambinos music videos have this ominous almost scary feeling to them
Shannon R well his albums tell a story about a boy look up childish gambino theory and you can find the story its pretty interesting
the color and feel is kinda realistic, which is also how his show Atlanta looks and feels, I think it's his style.
Shannon Richnak The ending of 3005 had me tripped
