Moon River is about two lovers, slowly drifting apart as they take on different paths in life, but, however sad that may be for both of them, they know it’s the best thing to do, and as they move on, memories, wether good or bad will still remain. There is still a sense of attachment, felt by the two, “wherever you’re going, I’m going the same”, but they know they’ll have to keep going. This really brings back memories.
I’m in that phase of life rn. But pretty sure I’m the only one left with dealing with the feeling of sense of attachment while the other person probably already happily moved on with someone new. This song hits hard specially after reading your comment and leaves a bittersweet feeling. What’s funny is that he was the same person who introduced me to Frank’s songs.
When I was homeless and sleeping on a bench in front of a library 📚... this made me feel safe and gave me hope. Im warm and home and in bed now listening to this in my room. Happy holidays to all 💝 💕 I pray you all make it. Keep fighting, keep dreaming ♾
For anyone who wants to play this on guitar, here's how :) The whole song is based on this one, long chord progression with a single down strum per chord! It repeats about 4 times through the whole song. C, Am, F, C, F, C, Bm7, E7 Am, G, F, Fm, C, Am, F, G The only part that is different is after Frank stops singing at the very end, that part just repeats this: C, Am, F, G Hope that helps out! If you get stuck or need any extra help, I just uploaded a video lesson for this on my channel :)
i always keep frank's music and vocals very close to my heart. i feel like it hurts and heals me at the same time, brings me closure. listening to this right after watching moonlight.. feeling some type of way rn
This song hurts once you’ve gone separate ways with that special someone you’ve dedicated this to. Either way, If some of you find yourself heart broken right, trust the process, embrace the pain & always fall FORWARD! love yourself first :)
Something about knowing that young man was a Frank fan made me feel like I understood a little piece of his soul, making the tragedy of his loss that more profound and real. RIP.
This song just means so much to me. It made me go from thinking about that I may be chasing someone that I think I may be falling in love with, to realizing that I mostly am chasing and longing for my own self love and freedom. It made me ponder what I love the most at the core.. expression. I still do feel that this song reminds me of the person I care for.. but it mainly reminds me that I should be chasing my dreams and higher purpose as an individual. Thanks for this dope version Frank, it really spoke to me 🙏🏾
I've been scrolling while listening on repeat reading everyone's comments, I want to be a music producer and possibly an artist. Along my journey of learning I get to know how people truly feel about music and what it does for them. Music is a beautiful thing and I'm so glad it exists, and I can't wait to fulfill my dream. I've known Moon River for years. I've listened to so many versions, but I've never heard one that hurts and feels so good at the same time. I'm very grateful I found this version, it heals something in me that I didn't know needed to be healed.
Me and my boyfriend first got together the day this was released. I remember listening to it with him and thinking it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard and blubbing like a baby. This song is a reminder that some of the most wonderful things in life are finite (we are no longer together) but that's okay! We're all following our moon rivers and often that means parting ways with those we love. I keep on scrolling through these comments hoping he'll be here too commenting , reminiscing ... So far I've had no luck ... (As cliche as this is) Brandon I love you I hope our paths cross again.
Moon river is actually the river styx, she is talking about living and dying, loving someone in such a way that death would be of little consequence as long as you got to swim in their wake.
L Malachi that’s crazy! Thank u for sharing that .... stay strong! I think it’s sometimes hard to accept that you can’t just automatically turn off your feelings for someone but that’s partly the magic of it too ... it’s what makes relationships and friendships worthwhile
Moon river wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style someday A dream maker My heartbreaker Wherever you're going I'm going that way Two drifters off to see the world There's such a crazy world to see We're all chasing after all the same Chasing after our rainbow's end Moon river wider than a mile Crossing in style someday My dream maker Heartbreaker Wherever you're going I'm going the same Two drifters off to see the world It's such a crazy world you'll see We're all chasing after our end Chasing after our ends Life just around the bend my friend Moon river and me
@@Bugiddle Artists modify lyrics occasionally, & very rarely by mistake. These modest changes don't degrade the original lyric's meaning, but make the same point, but these changes make that point in a style that adds a little... starkness to the beauty of the song... it's not better, not worse, just a little variant.
I like to think that this is a gift to all of those out there on Valentine's without someone to share it with. Thank you for being that someone who's always there for us, Frank.
me and my ex broke up a little bit ago. i truly fell head over heels for her. this song takes me back to all the amazing times we had together. its sad realizing that we didn't get the ending we wanted. the future planning, trips, etc. all fell in a seconds notice. however, i wish nothing but the best for her. ally i truly wish things had worked out between us. you'll always be my forever valentine.
hey, i know how you're feeling right now. it's tough when things don't turn out the way you imagined. all those amazing times you had together, the future planning. it's like everything fell apart in a second. it's completely normal to feel sad and nostalgic about it. it's great that you still wish her the best, though. that shows a lot of maturity and kindness. sometimes, life has its own way of redirecting us, even if it doesn't make sense right away. maybe this is a step towards something new and better for both of you. it's okay to feel the way you do, and it's important to take the time to process everything. remember that you're not alone in this. things will get better with time, and you'll find new sources of happiness and meaning. stay strong, and keep your head up. you've got this brandon 🤍🤍
I’ve listened to this song my whole pregnancy, 8months now and hoping my son recognizes this song after he’s born, I love this song with everything in me

I guess they hacked into my DVD player, told Frank Ocean that I watched the movie, and then had him pump the song out as quickly as possible? This is a conspiracy I can get behind.
Lost my mother in law to Covid 19 this morning. None of this is real.. .. ETA-- We lost her last April and is been a tough year, but it's been tough on us all, hasn't it? I want to thank you for each and every blessing that you all are and have been for me. Daisy would be smiling down knowing how beautiful strangers can be to one another. Thank you so much and, of course, my deepest sorrows for the losses in your lives this year. God bless you. Each one. ❤
The use of stereo mixing in this specific song is sooooo impressive it's unbelievable. If frank mixes his songs that's such a huge talent he brings to the table
Personally I like Frank Oceans version better than Andy Williams version. But its not like it was Andy Williams song either, he was also covering the song. Audry Hepburn is the original performer, and it was written for Breakfast at TIffanys by Henry Mancini.
So many viewers here don't realize this is a cover of a Henry Mancini song (the guy who created the pink panther theme). It's from the 1960s and the key song for Brekfast at Tiffany with Audrey Hepburn. Moon river is a river in Georgia (USA), where the lyricist Johnny Mercer grew up. The song is actually about a person reliving his fond childhood memories and chasing happiness and impossible goals. Despite the somber tone, it's actually a positive song about realizing that the narrator may never actually achieve their dream/goals, but they enjoy the journey.
Rest In Peace Joaquin, whenever I listen to this song I think of you. I didn't get the honor of knowing you, but I hope you know that you'll never be forgotten. Fly high with the angels Guac.
Cali Girl He was one of the 17 people murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last February.. He was a really big Frank Ocean fan, and this song was released the same day he passed away. 💔
This one of the most talented and creative artists of my lifetime, and I've witnessed music's evolution since the 1960s. He amplified the emotion and beauty of already beautiful classic, and the layering of harmonies is next level magnificence.

Moon River, White ferrari and Nights really are songs that make you tear up and feel the moment. I hope whoever reads this comment will be ok, stay strong ❤️
the outro kills me, the intstrumental is beautiful, makes me feel like im going through my memories when i close my eyes, i feel it all, the good and the bad, a really beautiful feeling
This is one of my favorite songs of all time and to see that Frank did such a beautiful cover of this song makes my world so much better, he definitely did this beautiful song justice
I literally discovered this song a few days ago from watching Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Frank Ocean just decides to drop a cover of it. Holy fuck I'm so happy.
Who ever is responsible for putting Frank Ocean's cover of "Moon River" in the ending slo-mo sequence of "When They See Us" is a genius an effing genius!!! The song has nostalgic overtones that takes one back to a simpler youthful time, but it's ending in this movie creates a paradox with the viewer. While it causes one to reflect and feel all the warm & fuzzy feelings of being a wide eyed younger person it pulls at the heart strings when we look at each member of "The Central Park 5" in slow motion and realize that all the great young teenage memories we were pondering over they themselves were denied those very same memories. . Kudos to those that came up with the score of this film as it played extremely well with the cinematography!!! You know it's done well when every time you listen it elicits such a strong and sad emotional response!!! 😭😭💔🙏🏿👍🏿
The way i feel while listening to this song fully changed after watching the show, man i always find myself doing more and more research about them cause it just doesn't rest easy in my stomach what they went through.
This song feels like making a deep connection with someone you like but barely know with the hope that both of you are heading towards the same things in life.
i will never hear this song without thinking of my ex. i never met his maternal grandma who had passed, but he would always saw how much she loved this song. i dont think she had ever heard frank ocean's version, but it's just perfect. and as for my ex, i truly hope that i get the chance to see him again and thank him for everything he taught me and the way he so patiently loved me. it's one of those relationships where i was happy in so many ways and also so in my head overthinking and not at a point where i was comfortable asserting myself & being fully honest. covid hit about 6 months after we met so that threw us for a loop and revealed so much about our world and ourselves but instead of taking actions to better myself and get where I wanted and needed to be, I ended up taking a lot of my frustrations out on him and becoming very nit picky and just not the type of supportive partner that I was so obsessed with having him be for me. it's all still so fresh and brings me so much pain and shame to see now in hindsight how awful i was to him in so many ways. i know i cant go back and im working on accepting that and living in the present. i still have so much love for him and i hope in some way he can still feel that, even in spite of my actions. we really both are two drifters off to see the world and i love that, this song, youtube comments sections, and anyone who can relate in any way.
Tell him your sorry despite if he wants to get back or not, but don't say that in your sorry. Just focus your sorry on him, not on getting back or not. If it seems like a good welcoming forgiving response from him, you can try asking to get back with him, and that you'll bring it show it this time you've changed if you truly were in the wrong there.
Used to use this song to put my daughter to sleep when she was a newborn... now when I hear it, I can't help but tear up. I was in love with the song before but now its even more.
Me and my friends were lucky and were not near the 1200 building (Freshman building) where the shooting occurred at Stoneman Douglas. My heart is out to Aaron Feis, who I called Coach Feis. He would be up before anyone else, opening up the gates in the parking lot, and he had such a good heart. He's a fucking hero, running towards the shots and shielding students when he got shot. I love you Coach, may you rest easy and be at the gates of Heaven, just like you always were in the morning making sure everyone was safe and in school. PrayForDouglas. Edit: I chose this song to post this comment because the emotion and chills really hit me close to my heart, not because it was trending. This isn't for likes, nor popularity. You don't have to like this, or comment, this is just me speaking from the heart about someone who died. this is a tribute.
So glad you and your friends are safe. I've been thinking about what's happened since first period today when it came up in a debate. It's fucking insane how stuff like this is still happening.
dedicating frank ocean’s songs to my girlfriend, she is struggling rn with her plate and she is scared but tough. i love my girlfriend so much she is all i ever needed in my whole life, i’d choose her from all of frank ocean’s song bcuz she looks like one. if ure seeing this brianna, i love you baby you can do it, i’m here always for you.
Remind her that she’s beautiful no matter what. I also struggle those kind words might not mean a lot of others but it means a lot to us. Tell her she can stick to sugar free stuff if she needs no. Your comment is so sweet by the way. It’s so important to see people like you exist. Frank ocean is 🩷🩷🩷
ik u don't really know how much i love this song,, this is one of my top 10 frank ocean songs n i always remember u whenever i hear this song. i know y ain't ready to commit yet but always remember that i am willing to wait no matter how long is it. you made me feel so special and that's one of the hundred things i like abt u. u filled up the void inside me, my day ain't complete whenever u're not around
months n months passed, we developed this one certain connection that i can't explain. not gonna lie, there r days that i feel like i am not appreciated or sum and that's sad... i really hope that u love me to the fullest too..

Each one. ❤
YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS.Blessings to you
@@kewlkidsonlee5405 thank you. It was as sudden as lightning. She was fit as a fiddle. everything is surreal to me right now.
sending love 💔💕
i’m sorry for your loss
@@olivenickel thank you very much.
The use of stereo mixing in this specific song is sooooo impressive it's unbelievable. If frank mixes his songs that's such a huge talent he brings to the table
I remember my parents listening to Andy Williams sing this when I was a child. This versions a lot like his. Super cool!
this is amazing. He took a dope take on this
Andy Williams is an OG
T Clark it's the better version keeping this song alive for many more years.
Marty Ray Project Are you insane??? This is nowhere NEAR AW'S version!!
Personally I like Frank Oceans version better than Andy Williams version. But its not like it was Andy Williams song either, he was also covering the song. Audry Hepburn is the original performer, and it was written for Breakfast at TIffanys by Henry Mancini.
T Clark pm
So many viewers here don't realize this is a cover of a Henry Mancini song (the guy who created the pink panther theme). It's from the 1960s and the key song for Brekfast at Tiffany with Audrey Hepburn.
Moon river is a river in Georgia (USA), where the lyricist Johnny Mercer grew up. The song is actually about a person reliving his fond childhood memories and chasing happiness and impossible goals.
Despite the somber tone, it's actually a positive song about realizing that the narrator may never actually achieve their dream/goals, but they enjoy the journey.
Rest In Peace Joaquin, whenever I listen to this song I think of you. I didn't get the honor of knowing you, but I hope you know that you'll never be forgotten. Fly high with the angels Guac.
I see people speak on Joaquin. Who is Joaquin?
Cali Girl He was one of the 17 people murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last February.. He was a really big Frank Ocean fan, and this song was released the same day he passed away. 💔
this is beautiful frank, as usual. “when they see us” is the reason I’m here. 😇
From both Netflix series, Someone Great & When They See Us, this song made me cryyyyyyy. Thank you, Frank
This one of the most talented and creative artists of my lifetime, and I've witnessed music's evolution since the 1960s. He amplified the emotion and beauty of already beautiful classic, and the layering of harmonies is next level magnificence.
thank you frank. just thank you.
lexi just frank you
lexi seriously
Moon river wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday (someday, day)
A dream maker (maker, maker)
My heartbreaker (you heartbreaker)
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' that way (the same, the same)
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a crazy world to see
We're all chasin' after all the same
Chasing after our rainbow's end
Moon river wider than a mile
Crossin' in style someday

We are chasing after our ends...meaning we’re chasing after our deaths
When I die play this at my funeral
Real shit
I was thinking the same about mine. This one, and They won’t go when I go by Stevie wonder.
But isn't music is haram? 😂
this was first sung by audrey hepburn and honestly the ones by her or andy williams or frank sinatra is soo much better 😍
@@lizzz5267 I don't think that they should be ranked, while I personally enjoy listening to Frank Ocean's better, I think they're all really good, but if I had to make a choice, I'd want Frank's played at my funeral.

I've never been this early to a new Frank ocean song but I can already tell it's great! ❤️
ITS A FRANK SINATRA COVER
correction it's from Breakfast at Tiffany's , Audrey Hepburn performed it and then Andy Williams used it as his theme song.
Good to know, it's a lovely song
Tomer Yosef I think it's safe to say that Frank gave this song justice. This is such beautiful cover.
rapidbeta me neither but it's amazing
0:00 - 0:01 omg I love this song
MEEEE WHERE IS THE LIEEE
Me assfffff
I don't get it.
Yasin Mammeri one second into the song and it's already a bop
ADF 😂😂😂 saaaame
Waking up to this notification was like a Christmas to me
VentusMaster always is
I woke up in the middle of the night and saw the notification , i thought I dreamt it. Lol
VentusMaster honestly
VentusMaster hell yeah I love franks music
VentusMaster WTF TRUE
Moon River, White ferrari and Nights really are songs that make you tear up and feel the moment. I hope whoever reads this comment will be ok, stay strong ❤️
Thank you 😞❤️Hod bless your heart
Frank really not playing. He snatched all our wigs before we could even finish the day
This song hits different.
Even before “when they see us”, it hit me in my gut.
Frank ocean is such an amazing artist with such passion.
Facts yo
Fire ass movie
Why does everything frank ocean put out I like it? He could literally burp in to a mic straight and I would replay 50 times a day.
Alex Smith its a cover dumbass
Karl Whithers Never said it wasnt a cover, just said he liked it, dumbass ;0
Yeah no need for a pretentious douche thinking hes hot for reading a comment about it being a cover. Foh
the outro kills me, the intstrumental is beautiful, makes me feel like im going through my memories when i close my eyes, i feel it all, the good and the bad, a really beautiful feeling
*hears first 5 seconds*
*starts crying*
GotRings Bruh facts
SAME IVE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE OMF
Dead ass
here is a cozy moon river remix 🔥🌊soundcloud.com/atnisthecooker/moon-river-remix
A T N actually very nice my dude. The subtle drums add a really smooth breezy layer. Very well done :)
Only Valentine I need is Frankie's voice
Summerraine Same
Frank Ocean covering Moon River is everything I didn't know I needed.
Big mouth’s spin-off Human Resources brought me here. Thank you so much. This is a gem
This is one of my favorite songs of all time and to see that Frank did such a beautiful cover of this song makes my world so much better, he definitely did this beautiful song justice
listening to this after his brother passed, prayers to frank and his loved ones.
:(

You will bro ✊🏿✊🏻
1:55 the way he says “what i see who i become” makes me cry man

THIS IS DOPE FRANK! A BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC.
✨ Mind peeping my recent Lofi rhymes and dropping constructive feedback ;)
I thought that I was dreaming, when I saw this notification
IcyBrycie it started from nothaannggg
the start of nothing
I had no chance to preeeeeepare
gold.
I couldn’t see it coming
I literally discovered this song a few days ago from watching Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Frank Ocean just decides to drop a cover of it. Holy fuck I'm so happy.
WHATS THE SONG ?
Look up "Moon River Supergirl" here and prepare to have your socks blown off with Melissa Benoist's cover.
Same!!!
Dan Trigona I listened to it, it is very good !!!
I did too as well. Amazing! Thanks Dan.
How is even possible this cover to bring dark melancholy and real hopefulness, both at the same time! Emotional chemistry of Frank Ocean! ❤️
ua-cam.com/video/1jFunYwrE1o/v-deo.html
Who ever is responsible for putting Frank Ocean's cover of "Moon River" in the ending slo-mo sequence of "When They See Us" is a genius an effing genius!!!
The song has nostalgic overtones that takes one back to a simpler youthful time, but it's ending in this movie creates a paradox with the viewer. While it causes one to reflect and feel all the warm & fuzzy feelings of being a wide eyed younger person it pulls at the heart strings when we look at each member of "The Central Park 5" in slow motion and realize that all the great young teenage memories we were pondering over they themselves were denied those very same memories. .
Kudos to those that came up with the score of this film as it played extremely well with the cinematography!!! You know it's done well when every time you listen it elicits such a strong and sad emotional response!!! 😭😭💔🙏🏿👍🏿
Agreed
the guy in the prison who was singing was singing this song
@@sswifttheateri7206 really. I did not notice. Im going to watch it again tomorrow. Thanks ima lool out for it!
Great analysis. .
Couldn't have said it better!
The way i feel while listening to this song fully changed after watching the show, man i always find myself doing more and more research about them cause it just doesn't rest easy in my stomach what they went through.
I do the same
I strongly feel you so much on this, it still pains me to experience the reality of the exonerated 5 😭
Same here
Which show?
This song feels like making a deep connection with someone you like but barely know with the hope that both of you are heading towards the same things in life.
ua-cam.com/video/1jFunYwrE1o/v-deo.html
Exactly this 😢
i will never hear this song without thinking of my ex. i never met his maternal grandma who had passed, but he would always saw how much she loved this song. i dont think she had ever heard frank ocean's version, but it's just perfect. and as for my ex, i truly hope that i get the chance to see him again and thank him for everything he taught me and the way he so patiently loved me. it's one of those relationships where i was happy in so many ways and also so in my head overthinking and not at a point where i was comfortable asserting myself & being fully honest. covid hit about 6 months after we met so that threw us for a loop and revealed so much about our world and ourselves but instead of taking actions to better myself and get where I wanted and needed to be, I ended up taking a lot of my frustrations out on him and becoming very nit picky and just not the type of supportive partner that I was so obsessed with having him be for me. it's all still so fresh and brings me so much pain and shame to see now in hindsight how awful i was to him in so many ways. i know i cant go back and im working on accepting that and living in the present. i still have so much love for him and i hope in some way he can still feel that, even in spite of my actions. we really both are two drifters off to see the world and i love that, this song, youtube comments sections, and anyone who can relate in any way.
Why not hit him up? Tell him you're sorry sincerely, tell him you've changed.
Take the chance, girl.
Tell him your sorry despite if he wants to get back or not, but don't say that in your sorry.
Just focus your sorry on him, not on getting back or not.
If it seems like a good welcoming forgiving response from him, you can try asking to get back with him, and that you'll bring it show it this time you've changed if you truly were in the wrong there.
Doom Patrol episode 11. What an emotional roller-coaster and so rewarding.
Larry and John deserved so much better
@@goghballs8938 yeah they did😔💔
Fav episode
frank WE WERE NOT ready for this
I was
Frank Ocean is one of the greatest of all time don't @ me and I'm deadass
Stephen Curry I agree
nothing but the truth
you cant even @ someone on youtube
Nokitron I just @ed you bitch
Amber: *waka flocka okay*
Used to use this song to put my daughter to sleep when she was a newborn... now when I hear it, I can't help but tear up. I was in love with the song before but now its even more.
I can’t help but to think of the victims of the shooting today while listening to this, may they rest in peace.
MarTin ShorLux oh man same 😢💔💔
🖤🖤
I thought the same.
🙏🏻💔
#4 in Trending. There is faith in humanity after all.
Thelonious Vic right!! Thank you!
It was #2 earlier
No, there's not. Trust me I'm from the future.
Stfu freak
Faith in humanity due to an apps statistic???
we're doomed Jesus Christ
Frank has a way of making you feel the void thats inside while at the same time filling it whole
i pray to god she finds love inside her soul, and i pray that we don't let go of each other, i hope our love only increases further.
How you gonna make a love song sound like a break up song simultaneously this shit beautiful
that's why frank's a legend
It’s a cover to another song
and?
The original song already sounds like a break up love song.
Aryan Kumar fuck you, I was just pointing it out
Such a gorgeous rendition. The intricate vocal/harmony layerings remind me a lot of what D’angelo did on his “Voodoo” record.
Finally something on trending that's good
bill wurtz is pretty good too
Nigel Ng no
Nigel Ng
not at all
This is impeccable. Andy Williams approves. He not only liked, mentored, and promoted the newer generations, but featured many on his TV show.
Anybody just get fucking chills up their body when you listen to frank ocean??
meeeee ! even if i dont listen to the lyrics, something about just frank oceans music hits you deep
You guys really are some pussies.
I honestly can't listen to certain Blonde tracks too often because of this.
I get chills whenever I listen to him
everytime.
OH SO HE RELEASING SONGS ON A REGULAR NOW?? SURE THIS FRANK OCEAN??
Ci R. This is a covee
Well I still don't have my Endless vinyl that I ordered back in November, so yup.... it's still our Frank
Ci R. facts haha. every since he left his label, he been dropping gold constantly.

Cover all the songs.
Thanks
LANZINI bbk
I ugly cried so much. Brought here by human resources.
Yep, so ugly I could weep with mirth!
I came here after watching When They See Us and this is just such a beautiful song.
Jess_ Jessica same
🙋♀️
So this is gonna be mentioned in every comment I see. What is "they are us" about? Never heard of if.
Very beautiful song
Omari Pierre do you know the original movie tho?
Aw shit here we go again😢
mood
Me too
I feel u bra... Damn
Me and my friends were lucky and were not near the 1200 building (Freshman building) where the shooting occurred at Stoneman Douglas. My heart is out to Aaron Feis, who I called Coach Feis. He would be up before anyone else, opening up the gates in the parking lot, and he had such a good heart. He's a fucking hero, running towards the shots and shielding students when he got shot. I love you Coach, may you rest easy and be at the gates of Heaven, just like you always were in the morning making sure everyone was safe and in school. PrayForDouglas.
Edit: I chose this song to post this comment because the emotion and chills really hit me close to my heart, not because it was trending. This isn't for likes, nor popularity. You don't have to like this, or comment, this is just me speaking from the heart about someone who died. this is a tribute.
So glad you and your friends are safe. I've been thinking about what's happened since first period today when it came up in a debate. It's fucking insane how stuff like this is still happening.
hope you and your friends are safe, rest in peace to coach feis
Man was a hero. Condolences to you and your loved ones. Stay strong. The country is with you.
💔
Kevin Shanahan im so sorry
dedicating frank ocean’s songs to my girlfriend, she is struggling rn with her plate and she is scared but tough. i love my girlfriend so much she is all i ever needed in my whole life, i’d choose her from all of frank ocean’s song bcuz she looks like one. if ure seeing this brianna, i love you baby you can do it, i’m here always for you.
Remind her that she’s beautiful no matter what. I also struggle those kind words might not mean a lot of others but it means a lot to us. Tell her she can stick to sugar free stuff if she needs no. Your comment is so sweet by the way. It’s so important to see people like you exist. Frank ocean is 🩷🩷🩷
you’re an amazing bf aw
this is so sweet
0:01 *STARTS CRYING*
STOP LITERALLY ME RN
me asf
mee rnnn help😢😭😭
Frank was Joaquin Oliver’s favourite artist, this song was released upon the day he and 16 others died in the Florida shooting.
stop romanticizing false flags.
mightytaiger huh
mightytaiger stfu lmao, skeptics like you disgust me.
I heard this on the show "Doom Patrol" and holy shit was it such a perfect fit, never heard this song before but I love it.
Me too. I loved this song when it came out and it was perfect for the scene
@@izraiEL235 doom patrol is such a good show and the music is always on point
@@no22295 okay we're not talking about the original... Go listen to that one if it's better.
@@IaMSpeaks @no 22 you're allowed to like both lol but for me this version fit the scene way better than the audrey hepburn version
@@lou.geemusic I agree but saying "the original is better" is not "liking both" it's obnoxious.
ik u don't really know how much i love this song,, this is one of my top 10 frank ocean songs n i always remember u whenever i hear this song. i know y ain't ready to commit yet but always remember that i am willing to wait no matter how long is it. you made me feel so special and that's one of the hundred things i like abt u. u filled up the void inside me, my day ain't complete whenever u're not around
i really want to meet and hug you in person. i really love you and i hope that u know that.
months n months passed, we developed this one certain connection that i can't explain. not gonna lie, there r days that i feel like i am not appreciated or sum and that's sad... i really hope that u love me to the fullest too..
i love u sooooo much. mahal na mahal kita tangina naiiyak na ako
When They See Us really changed the vibe of this song for me. As soon as I hear it, my heart becomes so heavy. 😔
