    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.

    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

    • @Aegeus42
      @Aegeus42 7 років тому +679

      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).

    And now that it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    And now that it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    But now I'm so high
    But now I'm so high
    But now I'm so high
    Girl, what's your problem?
    'Cause I know it's hard sometimes, baby, just give it some time
    Oh, honey, now, girl, we can solve them
    If you just give me some time I can open up your mind
    If you le-le-let it shine, you can free-ee-ee your mind
    'Cause I know
    And now that it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    And now that it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    But now I'm so high
    But now I'm so high
    But now I'm so high
    Girl, if it's done right
    Well you know it's got to be, something wonderful to me
    Oh, honey, now, girl, give it one night
    If you just give it a chance, loving you is not my plan
    'Cause I know one day you'll see
    All the things that we can be
    And I know, no
    And now that it's over, I'll never be sober (I want to be the only one)
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    And now that it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so (yeah) high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    And now that it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high

    My interpretation of this video is he has a crush on a woman who is out of his league and he is doing everything to impress her and he’s coming on too strong and scaring her off. (Been there done that) 4:14 that’s how it feels to break up with someone, you gotta start all over and repeat the process over and over again and it takes a toll on your heart. Every break up hurts, some more than others depending on how vulnerable you allow yourself to be or how closed off you were. The worst break ups are the ones when you finally figure out how to open up in a relationship and you get your heart broken and it makes you want to go back to being closed off again.

    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

    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.

    If I had to point at one person when asked to define 'talent', I'd be pointing at Donald Glover. The guy can do it all - and not just do it, but convincingly. Whether its acting (anyone watching Mr. and Mrs. Smith? Or seen his turn as Lando Calrissian in the Han Solo origin story?), dancing, singing, directing - the guy's talent is off the charts. Natural comedic timing, too.

    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Girl, what's your problem
    'Cause I know it's hard sometimes, baby just give it some time
    Oh honey now girl, we can solve them
    If you just give me some time I can open up your mind
    If you le-le-let it shine, you can free-ee-ee your mind
    'Cause I know
    And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Girl, if it's done right
    Well you know it's got to be, something wonderful to me
    Oh honey now girl, give it one night
    If you just give it a chance, loving you is not my plan
    'Cause I know one day you'll see
    All the things that we can be
    And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober (I want to be the only one)
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober
    And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high

    I see this video as not just a typical story of a guy trying to win over a girl, but also relating to him in real life in the music industry, how Gambino always puts in 200%, grinds so hard, the eventually people will crack a smile for him, when the girl finally dances with Gambino (start to like songs like Heartbeat or 3005) but then leaves him in the cafe (moves onto the next artist, listens to Kanye, Drake, or Kendrick etc, and forgets about Gambino),
    I'm not saying that is the actual correct meaning of the video, it is just something I have noticed that applies to the video
    I'm sure there are many different ways you could decode this video, and to me that is the beauty of this Childish Gambino's art, he really is an artist on a another level to everyone right now !!!

It's back to the melancholy quiet of being alone with your thoughts, which is why he will never be sober.

    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.

    You know how Donald blacked out his social media accounts and everything?
    I think this is showing how people think he was crazy to do so and now no one is paying attention to him / giving him the attention he deserves. But he's still on his grind, releasing a free mixtape and everything. I don't understand that freaking bird, but it's probably something to do with being locked up in a cage / trying to break free. And by the note saying "I'm so high" trying to give some reason to his madness? Also playing some homage to his Instagram notes a while ago. I don't know. Also the clock stays the same time definitely sticking to the theme BTI expressed of life being continuous and monotonous. That's what I got.
    This is probably my favorite video he's put out so far. It's simple, but the dancing is spot on.

      AbstractRule If he didn't want to use twitter, he would stop using twitter, simple as that. I doubt he would go through the trouble of deleting all of his shit and changing the profile picture and all that. He could've written a tweet saying "Bye." and people would get that he didn't wanna use it no more. There is something to it, there's always something to Donald's shenanigans.

    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.

    Oh...um...yeah. I hear a question with this video. I have no idea if that is the intent of the video. "Thriller" is doing "Love Is A Battlefield" By Pat Benatar. It's very tricky. One has to loop "Love Is A Battlefield." 5:18 is the stop point. Michael tells you this. Thusly 5:21 in "Thriller" should be 00:03 in "Love Is A Battlefield." His zombie dance will begin when her dance with the girls begins. Then, if you loop it a third time...5:18 + 5:18 = 10:36...at 1:19 a guy turns his head to glance at Pat Benatar. Michael's head begins that classic turn at 11:55. Yep.

  • @imtompopins932
    @imtompopins932 8 років тому +60

    I've noticed after watching this music video that he uses the theme of the same thing happening over and over in multiple videos. Bonfire, this song, and Sweatpants to name few. I'm not too sure if there are anymore. That's gotta have a deeper meaning. Maybe it's the fact that hes trapped in his own mind and just cant get out so hes reliving the same stuff over and over? I don't know. All I know is that this guy is a musical genius. I've been listening since Camp came out and I've never stopped.

    • @KoiPuff
      @KoiPuff 8 років тому

      Imtompopins He does mention in the monologue at the end of "That Power" how he still feels trapped on that bus home from camp. Maybe in his own way he's saying it hasn't changed, even with the fame he's still in a loop.

    • @imtompopins932
      @imtompopins932 8 років тому +3

      OnigiriPuff He's got such a creative mind and the people with the most creative minds have a hard time getting out of them so I can totally see this being a viable reason behind this theme in the videos. The part on the monologue you are talking about is at the very end when he says "But that's not true. The truth is I never got off the bus. I still haven't." Right? I love the quote. Because in a lot of ways I feel like I'm still stuck in a certain spot. I'm not trying to be that type of person but I feel like Gambino and I think very much alike. He's very metaphorical and I can be the same way a lot. I feel like I understand why he keeps changing his style in music. He's trying to find a way off that bus maybe. I just thought of that. What I've always thought is that he doesn't want t be #1 at what he's doing. He gets popular and changes. Pre Camp album and the album it's self were very in your face. Much like the Stn Mtn mixtape was. But he got famous off of Camp and made Because The Internet which was completely unlike what he was doing before. Some people didn't like it and left. He got popular again after Kauai/Stn Mtn and made a show and made his style very soulful and New Orleans style. Jazzy and energetic. Incredibly different. Something only the original people that listened to him from the beginning, through all the changes could like. Keep the original fans. But maybe now that you've mentioned the bus, it might not be what I've thought for so long. Maybe he's trying to find what fits him. So he keeps changing. I think I'm starting to move up the rows on the bus. Starting to find my way off. This past year has been a life changing year. My girlfriend of a year and 4 months broke u with me out of the blue for virtually no reason or for a reason that she just didn't want to tell me. I got incredibly depressed, I stopped listening to music completely for a good 2 or 3 months and really found myself. I stopped trying to be someone and started trying to be myself. I put my passions ahead of myself and worked towards them. I'm almost off the bus. I can feel it. Wow... I really went in deep... this was pretty long. Sorry for all the reading.

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.

      He has alot of great music. He didnt get the exposure back then like he does now. Most talented artist to date. He can act, direct, sing, rap. Comedian. He does it all.

    *Lyrics:*
    And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Girl, what's your problem
    'Cause I know it's hard sometimes, baby just give it some time
    Oh honey now girl, we can solve them
    If you just give me some time I can open up your mind
    If you le-le-let it shine, you can free-ee-ee your mind
    'Cause I know
    And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Girl, if it's done right
    Well you know it's got to be, something wonderful to me
    Oh honey now girl, give it one night
    If you just give it a chance, loving you is not my plan
    'Cause I know one day you'll see
    All the things that we can be
    And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober (I want to be the only one)
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober
    And now that's it's over, I'll never be sober
    I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high
    Now I'm so high

    Be the Childish Gambino of you. Pour yourself into whatever you love, and keep exploring, you might end up loving something else even more.
    Dude used to write for 30 Rock and liked it, but he kept exploring. Kept learning, kept growing. Now he's an icon forever.

      Umm not sure how sarcastic this comment was. But if you were serious here is others theory.
      Clock isnt broken. Its just him not moving forward from his past (addiction/high/love). When new girl comes in he gets his high/love again for brief moment and loses it whenever they leave. But he never leaves with them and just stays at same situation and not getting over it.
      A) not getting over his past love/ex
      B) Actual addiction.
      C) Gambino's inferno. some kinda limbo which ties with his other weird but awesome MV's lol
