She looks for a resemblance of her brother in every man that she encounters - hoping that they can/will fill his shoes. Her brother was her best friend and personal compass and she’s lost without him. A bond like this is hard to let go.
That is deception, dear friend. Jesus Christ is the name of the Lord God. Do not be deceived. God is not a woman. I used to listen to Jhene when i was a teen, i was a fan but Jesus saved me. I was so deceived i even listened to taro card readings, what a deception of the devil. Alot of other things too. Jesus is coming soon receive Him as your Lord and Savior because He died on the cross for you, for your sins and my sins while we still hated Him. Now is the time to know true love. Not the love that comes from the world (which is no love at all) but love that is pure and comes from God Himself. Jesus LOVES you. Turn to Him while there is time!! As soon as you know this fact and believe in your very heart how much He loves you, you are a CHANGED person. Repent, call on Jesus and get baptized HE LOVES YOU, THE DEVIL DOESN'T ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The saddest part is being afraid that you'll forget your loved one. It's a daily feel of guilt and what if's. Not sure what our purpose is in life. Still finding myself
Ty Cox GOD. He has all the answers. The guilt is a result of the fall. We aren't supposed to experience death, but now we do. It's ok to allow yourself freedom... 🙏💞
I watched Jhene performing her whole album Trip live. I was on acid & it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. I felt her pain, joy, and trip.
I used to have a deep fear of losing an immediate family member. I've come to accept that when we have to go we have to go. I know that shit is still gonna be HELLA hard but this mini movie confirms how not letting go can cause you more pain and can even effect those that have transitioned to the other side. I really enjoyed this. I love Jhene's artistry.
Your so right my dad has stage 4 colon and liver cancer, and although he is alive and I have time, the only thing I can think about is losing him, and wanting to indulge in drugs just to get by, but seeing this let's me know I'm not alone
Cant actually stop crying. Why do I feel like i'm watching myself in her. Why can I hear me in her words. Insane. The relatability is insane. What a Queen.
I thought she was a queen. But she's more than that, she gives life, life comes from her. She is life. She is mother I know it sounds weird. But I had to put it out there.
wow me too, i never identified more with a video/short film. This is so profound and i come here every now and then when i need a good cry and then im good again
For someone who's buried her mom @ 19 and everyone else by 25...and who's grown so numb, Jhene is an angel who speaks our unknown unspoken language of lost and found. It is a journey to find your smile back and to live on.
Jhené Aikos ex husband was a cancer, her brother was a cancer sign and passed away from cancer. Cancer will spread thru u and it can kill u. She’s a Pisces a water sign, they are quite spiritual and sensitive to their surroundings like all water signs. They are the sign of rebirth and resurrection they are the last and final sign of the zodiacs. I love this video and all the symbolism she’s so amazing 💙
@@Katiepurdy87 witchcraft is a form of spiritul walk like said Religions..if u read the bible instead of letting someone such as ur grandmother n pastor givin u they false representation of it.. The u would know the Bible itself is a book of spells written in parables only those understanding of astrology n zodiacs get this.. Sadly it was used, falsely misrepresented n used to keep people in line with the fear of the Devil, Hell, n Fear of Fire. None which exist in this realm no more than time does.... If u understood n know this then u know anything in the Universe is urs for taking.. Im spiritual reader, a Wiccan n Pisces n very close to the most high, angels, n my ancestors... Don't spew negativity without understanding us or fully researching us first. Statements such as this is the reason innocent people were burned at the stake n hide in seclution. No response is needed I said my piece..
Alina Alive If you listen to her and use common sense you'd know...it's all about her dead brother and spirituality. Always is. The problem is she ignores the fact we're all one and separation is an illusion. Therefore she constantly brings up her brother instead of getting over it. She either doesn't get what she preaches about, or uses it to make $. Seems like she hasn't actually done any psychedelics, or maybe just not enough. And I don't know why she wouldn't have found a Buddhist to help her astral travel yet.
“I was a sunken ship.. a drunken sip of something thick.. and then I took a trip. There was no captain but you were my anchor.. there were poisons and demons and rhymes with no reasons.. and strangers but there was no danger.. Grampy named me penny but you taught me I was plenty.. And you taught me that to be complete that you have to be empty.. And free from all the miseries and energies that hinder me.. You brought me to my inner peace.. you taught me it was meant for me.. But it ends how it begins my friend.. until me meet again..”
I needed to see this. I have struggled with the loss of my father to brain cancer too...this helped me begin to process through my pain. Thank you for your courage to share.
have you ever heard of the phrase "there cant be a rainbow without rain"? it is not possible to reach your full potential in any aspects of your life, if you have not undergone the many struggles that come with the party that is life. as cliche as it sounds, the struggle is real, and being in denial of whatever that may be will be your biggest factor from stopping you from overcoming it; embrace the emptiness. to be complete you have to be empty. face your fears, your problems, and allow yourself to become the person you're meant to be.
"There's a black hole in my soul, that's beginning to show, through my dilated pupils behind lids half closed. I thought I'd be fine by now, but suffering doesn't die, it grows" 😢 I lost my mum 3 years ago and this hit me so fkn hard. Thank you Jhene, this is a masterpiece
I am so sorry to hear that :( Grief is the worst, and I would never wish it on my worst enemy. I wish there was something I could reply with to help you feel better, but I just hope through music, e.g. Jhene's music, that it can help bring some light in your dark days as it has for me and how it has brought us all here, people from different walks of life all experiencing different or similar struggles, grief, depression etc. u may be sick of hearing this, but please stay strong my dear, it will be hard :( but please remember to take care of yourself before anything else x
Nearly 5 years later and I'm still grateful for this project or MAP rather, It got me through the toughest times and it still doing that today.To whoever is reading this never forget the beauty in pain or grief and embrace every change knowing that it will work in the End.Thank You Jhené for putting this put and healing us through your pain.You truly are God Sent.❤️❤️❤️Too Much love for you Queen.
she motivates me to write about all of my past and present hurts... for all these years ive been trapping myself from growing.i need to start writing again. thanks girl!
I had to pause the video for a sec, because she touched me.. inspired me.. I am motivated to pick up my pen again.. let these suppressed feelings out so I can truly breathe again
A bit of a spolier, don't read if you haven't watched yet: I feel like this was therapeutic for Jhené. She and her brother were very close. I recommend this short film to anyone who's struggling with moving on with their life after the loss of someone close.
I feel like Jhené made this short film to represent all of us who have had to experience the loss of someone just as dear to us, as Ayo was to her. I know I'm wrong, but I want to believe in it, in order to help me. Loss is never easy.
My son died 26yrs ago. My wife died 5yrs later. I struggled with drugs, alcohol, and anger issues for YEARS afterwards. Eventually I had to get help. I learned in rehab that I didn;t have anger management ssues after all. I had grief and loss issues. They sat me down, and helped me write goodbye letters to both my son and my wife. That eased the pain dramatically. I still struggle. But I have found coping mechanisms that do not include self destruction. Keep your emotions purged, and you can cope. We NEVER forget those we love. But with time, we do learn how to live with loss. I am brand new to seeing this film, and listening to her music. I feel her pain in every word. Thank you sharing your heart with us.
" when you have doubt, you should get out; matter fact there's an open door.." ugh this whole visual masterpiece was amazing and such a mirror. Love you and your music. Thanks for sharing this beautiful experience..
My fiance passed away 3 months ago - a few weeks ago, I dreamt of him coming to tell he was leaving me as he smiled and handing a ring to my dad. I was so upset with him and begging him not to leave... I woke up in confusion and pain because I was so upset. Later that day as I reflected on my dream, he came to tell me he had to let me go because he was stuck here. He handed the ring to my dad because he made a promise to my dad to love and take care of me but he couldn't keep his promise because he has passed away. The part where her brother comes to tell her to let him go just touched me so deeply and I can't stop crying :(
I had a dream a week after my best friend of 17 years passed away. She was smiling and said she had to leave on a trip and I wasn't allowed to come but she loved me then hugged me and everything felt so real. I got chills immediately reading your story like our loved ones are definitely with us!
My boyfriend passed away 5 years ago. Just here to tell you that it gets better with time 💕 he still visits me in my dreams, but he’s always smiling. He’s safe.
I had dream my stepdad came to visit me … he came crying and holding flowers . He was crying, telling me how sorry he was on leaving us … . He died of COVID … I never really told anyone about this “dream”
@@anastasiajohnston6386 anastasia that wasn't a dream that really was her making sure she said goodbye ... I've had those experiences also ... sometimes right before the person has died .
I literally cried throughout this entire movie. Why? Because I relate in every single way...my brother was murdered 2years ago on August 11th. And I'm so incomplete without him. I can barely see while typing this . Eyes filled with tears . But to know someone can literally relate, is ...idk...I won't ever meet you...but it's kind of cool but sad to know someone knows how I feel. I don't wish this pain on anyone...but your truth..is beautiful...I've been a fan being that I grew up in Cali and was a huge b2k fan, which is how I found out about you in the early 2000's... and I loved your voice (your a dog, santa baby album) , and style( because I was a limited too fan, and had your posters on my wall from the wordUp! Magazines...I never stopped following...I believe it was also fate in a way. Something always drew me to you. You are beautiful, in every way ...and again, I'm so sorry you had to experience this...I hope before I leave this earth, I can go to a concert of yours. I saw you in concert once..it was either scream tour or the gobble gizzle, in Oakland... but please don't stop making music...🖤✨ - E'Lon 💕
My little brother died in July. Lost my father when I was 11. Helping my mom take care of my youngest brother who has severe autism. "How am I suppose to live with out you" my brother actually showed me Jhenes music right before he died. Played eternal sunshine at his memorial.. He rapped, wrote music, danced, painted. Literally anything you can thing of he wanted to try and be the best. 21 and about to graduate college. Cardiac arrest. He had so much to live for. I can relate to this video so much and I'm glad my brother showed me her music. I know he's up there with Pac💜
hey, I'm rly late but I just wanted to say I'm so tremendously sorry. I hope youre doing well and I know that your brother and father are in heaven with all the angels❤️❤️
Natalie ... wow I am so sorry about what happened to your brother ... keep his memory alive ... ... maybe think about creating Scholarships in his name with a video about him that you can put on UA-cam and elsewhere so that others will know who he was ; he will be able to give them the gift of money to pursue those same things that he loved .
I love and admire her vulnerability. She takes this to another. I know this was very therapeutic. I also love how she slipped in snippets from her new album in here. Musically and creatively genius. I got lost all in the movie. Damn she's good!
"Are you in the stars? Is there a God? Do you walk with him? Is he a she? Is she a me? Will we ever talk again? Is it strange that I can't wait to meet my fate just to see your face again?" 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Au NATurel Vegan I'm sorry to hear about your loss. It's been 4 years since my mom passed away. I know your pain. Stay close to God in your time in need.
This album and era pulled me thought my gramas passing and a lot of the difficult things that I’ve swept under the rug for years as a young adult. I needed this album
How crazy this sounds but this short film helped me discover myself. I feel whole again & I wanna thank you a thousand times. Im literally in tears cuz im so happy. Thank you for this powerful video I am grateful I stubbled upon. Kisses!
Denia Trujillo i wish I could discover myself . Lost myself about two years ago . Still trying to put things together but most times I cant even get up from bed . Good luck on ur beautiful journey
George R thank you so much. I’m sorry to here that but you will soon. Just have faith in yourself. Believing in yourself is very important. A good mindset takes practice and once you got it you can do more then you think.
I just lost my brother recently and the only words that I can relate to are hers. Trip has always meant something to me. I just remembered this video and it was as if I was watching it for the first time again, actually understanding what it felt like in her shoes. Her brothers words felt as if he was talking to me. This touched my soul and this album will forever be one of my favorites 🤍
Jhene's writing style & poetic verses take me on a trip to a peaceful haven. She is so underrated as an artist. Her creativity has always been phenomenal. This film showcases her many talents. Looking forward to some new music from her.
thank you for being vulnerable & showing us what it's like to deal with pain . i hope that you find peace & although it may always hurt , miyagi is so proud of you . ❤️️ ❤️️ ❤️️
Angel pooh it isn't a human and personifying and actually putting a gender on a god is just a ridiculous idea to me. The whole point of being a male or female is to have a sex organ to reproduce. It is a silly concept that the creator of all things would actually need a penis or vagina if they are the creator of all things.
"Is it strange that I can't wait to meet my faith to see your face again"? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼☝🏼. How it feels to loose someone and wonder if its it will you ever see them
I love Jhené. I feel as if though we were meant to incarnate here on this planet, at the same time. I always believed that our soulmates don't have to be close to us in physical form, they are souls who we connect on another vibrational level. I discovered her music from a cover of The Worst here on UA-cam when I was around 10 and my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Her music was so different to me ! I played those songs on my guitar and sang, because she had a voice tone similar to mine and I felt comfortable and thrilled to explore my unique voice. When I was 17 I revisited The Worst when my Cancer childhood crush broke my heart. That's when I wrote my first song, for the boy who told me first that I had an amazing voice... When I had my first dream about my true love I discovered Stay Ready and to that piece of art I wrote my first full notebook of poems and random thoughts. She taught me so much without ever knowing me. When I was 18 I started going deeper into tarot and astrology. I was ecstatic when I learned that Jhene is also a Pisces who is all about spirituality, self love and growth. For the past 2.5 years I was lost, depressed, anxious. 18-20.5 has been an intense period for me. I forgot my roots and I was swimming in unknown waters. Little by little I was approaching... 3 months ago my step - grandfather, an amazing,loving individual passed wa diagnosed with cancer. In the spun of two months I lost him and my grandmother's sister, a small fragile lady who told me that she loved me on every visit and I told her back. That's when I first listened to W.A.Y.S. Just yesterday I found out about your brother Jhene, I never knew. My faith grew stronger and in a dark and twisted way all that pain and sorrow moved me closer to peace. Now I'm getting ready for another trip, to finally get there. To anyone that may read this: Sometimes, you got to anchor yourself, but know that you are never alone. Each individual has its own struggles, but the Universe, God, Angels, Fate is always there, holding your hand. Create, sing, laugh, cry, dance, read, love, write, kiss, touch, eat, experience and most importantly swim ...
@@koshersalt951 Thank you for commenting and reminding me of this comment I made here, I needed to read it again ❤️ Happy New Year ! I wish you health, happiness and love 💕
I’m going to her concert today and I was rewatching this reading comments. I’m 17 and I’ve felt the same exact way, thank u for letting me see there’s also a glimpse of light. I feel so connected to jhene and im so glad we get to experience her in this life time, i feel a spiritual connection with her. Ur story is beautiful im glad others feel that was towards her! 💞
This is by far one of the best short films I have ever seen in my life . It’s not only relatable it’s authentic, inspirational, hopeful, soulful and powerful, I mean ..... shall I continue??? 🔥💕🔥💕🔥💕🔥
Omg! 😮i almost used all the same words to describe this! Authentic, inspirational... yeah there’s just not enough words to say how truly powerful this film was.
This is too beautiful. Too real. Too vulnerable. Too honest. Too incredible. How does Jhené continue to deliver such quality? She's Jhené. Ready to take this TRIP.
there is just something about Jhené that is so different from every other artists out here. she's so pure & talented. the best part is that she doesn't even care about the numbers she makes, she shares because she truly wants to connect with her fans. this short film was absolutely beautiful. it gives us the reality of what pain is when we lose someone we love. i lost my father to leukemia a few months ago & watching this felt every single emotion. my condolences to anyone who has ever lost someone close to them ❤️
I cry every time I watch this. I lost my brother in 2014 and we both loved Souled out and been fans of Jhené since ‘03. Never knew the same album we played over and over again together, would be the one to help me through this death. Trip really dug in deep for me and it was hard for me to still accept him being gone but I’m glad she gave me this because it helped me stop running away from the pain and focus on the path of healing. Jhené- you are an angel sent from the heavens above thank you for everything you have done for this generation. We hurt. We run. And we inflict pain. Thank you for being the voice💕
Saw this right before my grandmother pasted away this week. Ive never lost a close family member. This taught me that its okay to accept things. Not let them go. Because my grandmother will always live thru me thru my mother and my future kids. Whenever I look in the mirror I see all the beautiful woman that came before me
I have a really bad habit of constantly underestimating Jhené. I’ve been a fan of hers for a few years now and every time she creates something new I tell myself “this is her best yet” but she never ceases to amaze me. Jhené continues to outdo herself and is such an inspiration to me. She has this ability to make me relate to her like no other artist can, almost like an old friend. She’s become therapeutic to me in so many ways and I love her for that ❤️
@@isabelgutierrez3658 yes they watch over us 💙 I’m sorry for your loss he’s in a better place with my brother 💙 stay strong he wouldn’t like to see you sad…
I lost my brother on April/30/2018 and that part hits deep every single time. I’m not seeking it out but making peace with death if it means seeing him again soothes me. I refuse to believe we won’t be reunited, siblings bonds can’t be broken, through life or death. I hope you’ve been healing and though grief never truly leaves I hope you made room for peace and happiness. I think our brothers would’ve wanted that for us. ❤
"You can create your own peace. Peace comes from within... there is so much in life that is out of our control and if we sat around and waited for the perfect conditions to create some good shit we never get anything done, sometimes you got to just block out the noise..."
This was one of the most beautiful short films I have watched. So poetic and deep. Talking about how sometimes we all have things holding us back that come from within us that we create in our minds and bodies. She proves how in order to move on you must accept it and know that you must live on. I am so happy I discovered this. Jhene Aiko is one of the most beautiful humans alive. She is a true gem and one of a kind.
This made me start bawling. I coped the exact way she does in the video when I lost my brother, he was 23 I was 18. Same relationship they had (*have - that bond is eternal) her brother and mine even resemble each other so much . He would joke on me about how much I loved Tupac...I’m a cancer...(already an emotional water sign like pisces) Jhené and I have 1 daughter the same age as eachother - this hits home so hard for me 💔🥺😢😔
So I cried the whole video. From beginning to end. This vulnerability is not something you get from artists with your platform, and this is one of the many reasons you're my favorite. I love stuff like this, and I understand every aspect. I hope you're doing well Jhené, I love you
The first time I Iistened to any of Jhene’s albums / mixtapes from start to finish was recently when I smoked weed for the first time in two years and got super stizoned. I planned on watching some pokemon episodes and a couple of UA-cam videos and to work on some UA-cam videos at the peak of my high but every time I tried to pause Trip, my mind was telling me “nothing is going to be better than just having full focus on this art.” It was the first time I really found a connection and divine appreciation for Jhene and her music. Before, I’ve been following her on Spotify and knew she was one of the most beautiful people in the world from photos - but now I see that it’s like her albums tell her situations so beautifully through her positive melodies and voice, even if she’s singing about a sad or low vibe circumstance. Her art is so angelic and pure. I appreciate her lyrics and creative vision more than any artist right now. The day after I got high, my intuition decided to skip down a research rabbit hole learning about her life and personal situations to get more perspective and clarity to her music. After learning more about her daughter and the intimate relationship she has with her, it makes me cry a bit every time I hear “Sing To Me” because it’s so beautiful shows how great her alignment is as a parent. It made me reflect on the relationship that i have with my parents and see that I don’t think any of us would write something like that about each other, and reminded me that a lot of people have awesome, close, relationships with their families and I love Jhene’s songs about her brother (like For My Brother) and family because it’s so different from mine. Her stories bring me hope and joy that people connect so well, even when I’ve never felt a connection with any humans as strong as she’s had with Namiko or her brother (i love my dog like that though haha). The day after that time I got stoned, I felt like a feeling of inspiration and liberation towards working more on my own art, similar to how Jhene and other artists are always focused on creating more. I filmed a few different UA-cam videos in the same day (they aren’t out on my channel yet) and even came up with an idea to challenge myself to stay consistent on my art for 30 consecutive days (i’ve struggled with daily consistency this summer a lot after ‘burning out’ a lil bit from my hustle and passion projects / art a few months before this). A couple of days after I got stoned that night first night, I listened to her song “For My Brother” again 3 times in a row (and the first time I heard it was the night I smoked. The first night I felt like I should be crying to it and like I’ve never heard so much passion and clear delivery in any song before. Her lyrics are so easy to understand which creates a a lot of deliberate intentions through every song.) The second time I listened to it I was sober and it was 2am. I started bawling and crying harder than I have in years. Maybe even harder than I ever have, and definitely the most I have in my adult life. “For My Brother” made me feel like I wish that I was close enough to someone in the ways that Jhene was best friends and siblings with Miyagi. In the moment i didn’t want to make the song about me, so I tried to focus on her lyrics but whenever I heard this “And I know it was for a reason, I won't stop believing, I won't And if the angels call your name Baby please tell them you're staying And if the angels call your name Baby please tell them that you're staying I know that you can hear this I know that you can Don't give up, don't give up on us,” I couldn’t stop crying. In the moment I wished that I have felt the love for someone, that she has for him. It just made me appreciate her music so much and to help me see how deep love can be. It put me in her situation for a second and me me feel love in my heart for if I actually lost someone that close to me. I love some people, but my whole life i’ve been pretty alone and independent, always finding love within myself and making myself my everything, and not expecting anything from others (but internally knowing that relationships are valuable of course). She is one of the only people / artist that I’ve wanted to actually get to know through researching her. Like usually I don’t know too much about someone’s backstory unless I’m a true fan (me towards Young Thug, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Tupac, etc). I feel like I’m supposed to be living near LA just to meet the people that live there like Jhene so it inspires to create more and to get recognized so I can one day collaborate and converse with them. I remember I went to a spiritual concert type event in Downtown LA a few months back this year and Jhene visited the concert / event a couple of hours earlier than me that day (@CommunityHealing on IG - event). At the time, I didn’t really mind that I didn’t get to share presence and missed out on feeling her energy in person, but now that I am so much more aware of her wisdom, it makes me feel like I may see her at some point in LA in my life now that I am conscious and mindful of her to a deep level. I’ve seen these type of synchronicities happen to me multiple times in my life before since I grew up and live near Los Angeles. I grew up being really good friends with Warren G’s son and nephews, and have met many SoCal artists and actors etc in my life from being in the area - so I hope to one day experience a conversation with Jhene. Like just being mindful of a manifestation to meet someone definitely increases the odds of spontaneously seeing them. Jhene gives me a feeling of like I know her which feels so weird and I dont necessarily lik ethat feeling because it doesnt feel natural or like healthy to build these sort of one-way friendships with people i've never met from the internet like celebrities or whatever - but it feels okay this time because it feels real and like i have a feeling ill met her one day i guess is what it is. But Jhene, I just want to say that you are love. You are such a kind being and it shows in the authenticity within your energy and music. Thank you for existing and creating such amazing stuff, my friend 💙 - Voji
I lost my close cousin the same way, this immediately brung me to tears. The way Jhene' talks about her brother is the same exact way I feel about him.
like you really feel how much she misses her brother she really keeps him alive through her music i love you so much Jhene thank you sooo so much for being really open with your music it really touches and heals me
I miss my friend who passed away from suicide, he meant everything to me🥺my world will never ever be the same💔I miss you James and I love you to many universes here and back 1000x this helps me cope. Thank you Jhené 🥀
OMG THIS IS THE WAY I BE FEELING SINCE MY CHILD WAS MURDERED IN HIS OWN APARTMENT... I JUST FEEL SO LOST LIKE HOW COULD GOD LET THAT HAPPEN TO HIM HE WAS A GOOD LOVING YOUNG MAN... THANK JHENE I LOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC AND I HOPOE I GET TO SEE YOU PERFORM IN PERSON REAL SOON.
Love it’s so easy to Blaim god. It is not gods fault. You think our beloved father would do such a thing to us? No ma’am. You should look into more spiritual things and you’ll see god did not do this. I can’t even imagine ur pain coming from one mother to another i have a son as well. My heart breaks for you
She looks for a resemblance of her brother in every man that she encounters - hoping that they can/will fill his shoes. Her brother was her best friend and personal compass and she’s lost without him. A bond like this is hard to let go.
The Storyteller it is 😞😞😞
This the one
Why is he stuck there because of her?
@@legendlegend7777 I think his soul can’t move on bc she is in misery. As long as she is suffering..his soul can’t truly rest in peace
I hope she does not suffer too long just hope she can learn and grow.

Is what I ask my Brother every day.. it haunts me not to know..
That is deception, dear friend.
Jesus Christ is the name of the Lord God. Do not be deceived. God is not a woman. I used to listen to Jhene when i was a teen, i was a fan but Jesus saved me. I was so deceived i even listened to taro card readings, what a deception of the devil. Alot of other things too. Jesus is coming soon receive Him as your Lord and Savior because He died on the cross for you, for your sins and my sins while we still hated Him. Now is the time to know true love. Not the love that comes from the world (which is no love at all) but love that is pure and comes from God Himself.
Jesus LOVES you. Turn to Him while there is time!! As soon as you know this fact and believe in your very heart how much He loves you, you are a CHANGED person. Repent, call on Jesus and get baptized HE LOVES YOU, THE DEVIL DOESN'T ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Heaven Jane you’re so lucky you got to her perform that album. It’s the best ever.

@@Beeloved33 LSD, Jhene even has a song that talks about acid on Trip, its the first song
Aly Vega theyre essentially the same thing
Aly Vega it’s literally street for LSD
I used to have a deep fear of losing an immediate family member. I've come to accept that when we have to go we have to go. I know that shit is still gonna be HELLA hard but this mini movie confirms how not letting go can cause you more pain and can even effect those that have transitioned to the other side. I really enjoyed this. I love Jhene's artistry.
Me too chime. I love your name and all your videos I love jhene’s style she is so dope.
Chime (HairCrush) new sub to ur channel.. I love it!!
Chime (HairCrush) absolutely❤
Very true... 💔😔
Your so right my dad has stage 4 colon and liver cancer, and although he is alive and I have time, the only thing I can think about is losing him, and wanting to indulge in drugs just to get by, but seeing this let's me know I'm not alone
*who else is watching this in 2020?!*
girl.. you and I!
Me I always come to this when I am down
🖐🏾... You’re a moderator on LuLu’s House of Oshun channel. Heyyyy! 🍯
My brother died in 2016, and I’ve never been able to articulate how I truly feel. This short “movie” has helped in so many ways.
@@kimmybrooks4216 i'm sorry you're down but i'm glad you have this to come to
Cant actually stop crying. Why do I feel like i'm watching myself in her. Why can I hear me in her words. Insane. The relatability is insane. What a Queen.
hey my name is jason bernardez its nice meet you the king of all black apex x predator how going how are you how everything how been so far
I thought she was a queen.
But she's more than that,
she gives life, life comes from her.
She is life. She is mother
I know it sounds weird. But I had to put it out there.
ChynaDesveaux girl I know I’m late but I thought I was the only one that felt she was writing my story!!! 😢♥️🙏🏾
wow me too, i never identified more with a video/short film. This is so profound and i come here every now and then when i need a good cry and then im good again
I feel the same
Woow beautiful!! Can't wait to sit back relaxe and listen to the album...
Ayee!!
Majestic!!!
Majestic Casual amazing ass music!!
Majestic Casual
Majestic Casual Major Key
Such a deep beautiful mind she has. Everything she writes is soulfood ❤
yup. first fuck was hella soulful
Lisa Cartwheel lol yes everything other than first fuck and groceries haha
...and it´s a vibe, lol....
"Hop on the dick like a maniac"
Idk why I always come here to watch this when I’m going thru the most. Maybe it’s comforting in some odd way
I caught you in evil now you in hell amen from god
Same
“is it strange that i can’t wait to meet my fate, just to see your face again?” i feel this on a spiritual level. :/
hey my name is jason bernardez its nice meet you the king of all black apex x predator how are you how everything how been so far
"Where did you go? Do I really have to grow up without you? ....am I really alive without you?" This line 😔
Martina Avelia 😔
For someone who's buried her mom @ 19 and everyone else by 25...and who's grown so numb, Jhene is an angel who speaks our unknown unspoken language of lost and found. It is a journey to find your smile back and to live on.
Her momma still alive
@@NizzyNita she talking bout herself i.e. she relates to Jhené's losses, due to her own experiences
Hope you have found your smile sweetie ❤❤❤
Same sis , lost my mom at 17 and everyone else followed by the time I was 25 , I love her so much . She truly is an angel
Same but I just turned 17 with two babies..left alone😭
Jhené Aikos ex husband was a cancer, her brother was a cancer sign and passed away from cancer. Cancer will spread thru u and it can kill u. She’s a Pisces a water sign, they are quite spiritual and sensitive to their surroundings like all water signs. They are the sign of rebirth and resurrection they are the last and final sign of the zodiacs. I love this video and all the symbolism she’s so amazing 💙
hey my name.is jason bernardez its nice meet you the king of black apex x predator how everything how going how are you how been so far
The Most High is real and he will heal all our hurt and pain! Look to him, no astrological signs. That’s a form of witchcraft
Scorpio is the sign of death , rebirth and resurrection .
Definitely teampisces
@@Katiepurdy87 witchcraft is a form of spiritul walk like said Religions..if u read the bible instead of letting someone such as ur grandmother n pastor givin u they false representation of it.. The u would know the Bible itself is a book of spells written in parables only those understanding of astrology n zodiacs get this.. Sadly it was used, falsely misrepresented n used to keep people in line with the fear of the Devil, Hell, n Fear of Fire. None which exist in this realm no more than time does.... If u understood n know this then u know anything in the Universe is urs for taking.. Im spiritual reader, a Wiccan n Pisces n very close to the most high, angels, n my ancestors... Don't spew negativity without understanding us or fully researching us first. Statements such as this is the reason innocent people were burned at the stake n hide in seclution. No response is needed I said my piece..
I'd love to watch an interview with Jhené diving more into the film's inspirations and background.
Alina Alive check out her interview on vice
Alina Alive she talked about her brother and her relationships. It was very deep
its her brother's passing
Alina Alive Your so pretty 😳!!!
Alina Alive If you listen to her and use common sense you'd know...it's all about her dead brother and spirituality. Always is. The problem is she ignores the fact we're all one and separation is an illusion. Therefore she constantly brings up her brother instead of getting over it. She either doesn't get what she preaches about, or uses it to make $. Seems like she hasn't actually done any psychedelics, or maybe just not enough. And I don't know why she wouldn't have found a Buddhist to help her astral travel yet.
“I was a sunken ship.. a drunken sip of something thick.. and then I took a trip.
There was no captain but you were my anchor..
there were poisons and demons and rhymes with no reasons.. and strangers but there was no danger..
Grampy named me penny but you taught me I was plenty..
And you taught me that to be complete that you have to be empty..
And free from all the miseries and energies that hinder me..
You brought me to my inner peace.. you taught me it was meant for me..
But it ends how it begins my friend.. until me meet again..”
wow
Thanks
favorite chapter in her book!
🤗✊
jhene needs more recognition for her beautiful mind and soul, i love a queen
ianna crystal she's just breath of fresh air 💙
Still watching in 2024 🥺❤️ love you Jhene !
I cried, this is deep. Represents a loss.. a missing piece that you can't find in anything or anyone else.
Aww, this had me in tears. Especially the part where her brother came & told her to let him go. I loved this though. 😭💛
Jashey Washington Yesss.I tried so hard not to cry cause I was in public😭
Jashey Washington right I dont ever want to lose my brother BC me and him have a bond just like her and brother
man , that part right there made a real nigga's eyes water
Yes this hit home HARD!
I needed to see this. I have struggled with the loss of my father to brain cancer too...this helped me begin to process through my pain. Thank you for your courage to share.
I never get tired of this movie. she needs to drop another one
The scene between Jhene and her brother is so emotional, especially when she says she misses him 😭
"To be complete you have to be empty" I LITERALLY BURST INTO TEARS. That shit home so hard.
Deja Robinson what does that mean
can you explain?
Plz explain, I'm lost trying to figure things out . Just want to be feel comfortable complete
have you ever heard of the phrase "there cant be a rainbow without rain"? it is not possible to reach your full potential in any aspects of your life, if you have not undergone the many struggles that come with the party that is life. as cliche as it sounds, the struggle is real, and being in denial of whatever that may be will be your biggest factor from stopping you from overcoming it; embrace the emptiness. to be complete you have to be empty. face your fears, your problems, and allow yourself to become the person you're meant to be.
"There's a black hole in my soul, that's beginning to show, through my dilated pupils behind lids half closed. I thought I'd be fine by now, but suffering doesn't die, it grows" 😢 I lost my mum 3 years ago and this hit me so fkn hard. Thank you Jhene, this is a masterpiece
man, iSwear! this year will make 3 as well for my brother and I .. :'(
I'm sorry to hear that
That was the part where i lost it and cried so hard. Masterpiece is the perfect word. 👍
I lost my mom on June 25....which puts me at about 4 months and the world hurts...im just floating...
I am so sorry to hear that :( Grief is the worst, and I would never wish it on my worst enemy. I wish there was something I could reply with to help you feel better, but I just hope through music, e.g. Jhene's music, that it can help bring some light in your dark days as it has for me and how it has brought us all here, people from different walks of life all experiencing different or similar struggles, grief, depression etc. u may be sick of hearing this, but please stay strong my dear, it will be hard :( but please remember to take care of yourself before anything else x
when “while we’re young” started playing i had a complete meltdown i really felt this whole film in my soul ✨❤️
Right! 💔. I started sobbing as if I lost a true love I never met.
Nearly 5 years later and I'm still grateful for this project or MAP rather, It got me through the toughest times and it still doing that today.To whoever is reading this never forget the beauty in pain or grief and embrace every change knowing that it will work in the End.Thank You Jhené for putting this put and healing us through your pain.You truly are God Sent.❤️❤️❤️Too Much love for you Queen.
❤❤❤❤❤
she motivates me to write about all of my past and present hurts... for all these years ive been trapping myself from growing.i need to start writing again. thanks girl!
I had to pause the video for a sec, because she touched me.. inspired me.. I am motivated to pick up my pen again.. let these suppressed feelings out so I can truly breathe again
Love this.
Keep creating love it's the only outlet for our soul
legit THUG TEARS rn, anyone else?? This is so raw and beautiful.
Thank you Jhene. Thank you
Real tears!! so much feels! haven't even heard the album yet! Love her so much!
me too i cried lol
A bit of a spolier, don't read if you haven't watched yet:
I feel like this was therapeutic for Jhené. She and her brother were very close. I recommend this short film to anyone who's struggling with moving on with their life after the loss of someone close.
MysTaria87 def need this right now 🙏🏽 she always get me through
MysTaria87 it really does
+Sukaina Yasin yes very true
MysTaria87 what if I lost myself . Does that count ?
drugs aren’t therapy
The most underrated artist ever. Your artistry is everything Jhené, thank you for sharing it with the world.
I feel like Jhené made this short film to represent all of us who have had to experience the loss of someone just as dear to us, as Ayo was to her. I know I'm wrong, but I want to believe in it, in order to help me. Loss is never easy.

🍄☮️😌
My son died 26yrs ago. My wife died 5yrs later. I struggled with drugs, alcohol, and anger issues for YEARS afterwards. Eventually I had to get help. I learned in rehab that I didn;t have anger management ssues after all. I had grief and loss issues. They sat me down, and helped me write goodbye letters to both my son and my wife. That eased the pain dramatically. I still struggle. But I have found coping mechanisms that do not include self destruction. Keep your emotions purged, and you can cope. We NEVER forget those we love. But with time, we do learn how to live with loss.
I am brand new to seeing this film, and listening to her music. I feel her pain in every word. Thank you sharing your heart with us.
♥️
''pretending to be perfect is perfectly fine to all the individuals who are perfectly fine''. had me shocked.
Why is her acting better than some known actors (male or female)?....That's telling.
jabari7 because it’s based on what she really went through
Pisces are naturally gifted actors.
she's not acting, this is her truth
jabari7 natural not taught
jabari7 because she’s acting on true emotion
" when you have doubt, you should get out; matter fact there's an open door.." ugh this whole visual masterpiece was amazing and such a mirror. Love you and your music. Thanks for sharing this beautiful experience..
Aria Gore Do you know what that song is called??
No and it's not on her new album :C
My fiance passed away 3 months ago - a few weeks ago, I dreamt of him coming to tell he was leaving me as he smiled and handing a ring to my dad. I was so upset with him and begging him not to leave... I woke up in confusion and pain because I was so upset. Later that day as I reflected on my dream, he came to tell me he had to let me go because he was stuck here. He handed the ring to my dad because he made a promise to my dad to love and take care of me but he couldn't keep his promise because he has passed away. The part where her brother comes to tell her to let him go just touched me so deeply and I can't stop crying :(
I had a dream a week after my best friend of 17 years passed away. She was smiling and said she had to leave on a trip and I wasn't allowed to come but she loved me then hugged me and everything felt so real. I got chills immediately reading your story like our loved ones are definitely with us!
My boyfriend passed away 5 years ago. Just here to tell you that it gets better with time 💕 he still visits me in my dreams, but he’s always smiling. He’s safe.
I had dream my stepdad came to visit me … he came crying and holding flowers . He was crying, telling me how sorry he was on leaving us … . He died of COVID … I never really told anyone about this “dream”
@@anastasiajohnston6386 anastasia that wasn't a dream that really was her making sure she said goodbye ... I've had those experiences also ... sometimes right before the person has died .
I literally cried throughout this entire movie. Why? Because I relate in every single way...my brother was murdered 2years ago on August 11th. And I'm so incomplete without him. I can barely see while typing this . Eyes filled with tears . But to know someone can literally relate, is ...idk...I won't ever meet you...but it's kind of cool but sad to know someone knows how I feel. I don't wish this pain on anyone...but your truth..is beautiful...I've been a fan being that I grew up in Cali and was a huge b2k fan, which is how I found out about you in the early 2000's... and I loved your voice (your a dog, santa baby album) , and style( because I was a limited too fan, and had your posters on my wall from the wordUp! Magazines...I never stopped following...I believe it was also fate in a way. Something always drew me to you. You are beautiful, in every way ...and again, I'm so sorry you had to experience this...I hope before I leave this earth, I can go to a concert of yours. I saw you in concert once..it was either scream tour or the gobble gizzle, in Oakland... but please don't stop making music...🖤✨ - E'Lon 💕
Sweets Makeovers ❤️
My little brother died in July. Lost my father when I was 11. Helping my mom take care of my youngest brother who has severe autism. "How am I suppose to live with out you" my brother actually showed me Jhenes music right before he died. Played eternal sunshine at his memorial.. He rapped, wrote music, danced, painted. Literally anything you can thing of he wanted to try and be the best. 21 and about to graduate college. Cardiac arrest. He had so much to live for. I can relate to this video so much and I'm glad my brother showed me her music. I know he's up there with Pac💜
Sorry about your loss, it must be hard these but STAY STRONG YOU GOT THIS!!!
hey, I'm rly late but I just wanted to say I'm so tremendously sorry. I hope youre doing well and I know that your brother and father are in heaven with all the angels❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ you’re so strong
💙💙💙🙏🏽
Natalie ... wow I am so sorry about what happened to your brother ... keep his memory alive ...
... maybe think about creating Scholarships in his name with a video about him that you can put on UA-cam and elsewhere so that others will know who he was ; he will be able to give them the gift of money to pursue those same things that he loved .
I love and admire her vulnerability. She takes this to another. I know this was very therapeutic. I also love how she slipped in snippets from her new album in here. Musically and creatively genius. I got lost all in the movie. Damn she's good!

How crazy this sounds but this short film helped me discover myself. I feel whole again & I wanna thank you a thousand times. Im literally in tears cuz im so happy. Thank you for this powerful video I am grateful I stubbled upon. Kisses!
Denia Trujillo i wish I could discover myself . Lost myself about two years ago . Still trying to put things together but most times I cant even get up from bed . Good luck on ur beautiful journey
George R thank you so much. I’m sorry to here that but you will soon. Just have faith in yourself. Believing in yourself is very important. A good mindset takes practice and once you got it you can do more then you think.

Jazmon Deshea I'm so sorry for your loss. My dad passed away in 2010 and I still miss him. Just know he loves you and he's watching over you.
Sorry for your loss
I just lost my brother recently and the only words that I can relate to are hers. Trip has always meant something to me. I just remembered this video and it was as if I was watching it for the first time again, actually understanding what it felt like in her shoes. Her brothers words felt as if he was talking to me. This touched my soul and this album will forever be one of my favorites 🤍
this was the most raw, and beautiful visual (of any kind), since Lemonade. This increased my excitement for the album
This is such a beautiful visual. Cant wait to hear the new album Jhene.
DEVHASSOUL It's out now!!
Jhene's writing style & poetic verses take me on a trip to a peaceful haven. She is so underrated as an artist. Her creativity has always been phenomenal. This film showcases her many talents. Looking forward to some new music from her.
“I’m afraid I’m gonna forget you” “And I’m afraid you never will”
Awee her brother loves her so much she keeps him alive in her songs
thank you for being vulnerable & showing us what it's like to deal with pain .
i hope that you find peace & although it may always hurt , miyagi is so proud of you . ❤️️ ❤️️ ❤️️
You're comment made me cry💓
for those who suffer from losing someone or people-I don't want to forget you.
propper emotional this inni :) @Nicole O.
“ is there a god? Do you walk with him? Is he a she ? Is she in me?”
Charnelle T. That line got to me🙌😞😞
Its a he
Angel pooh it isn't a human and personifying and actually putting a gender on a god is just a ridiculous idea to me. The whole point of being a male or female is to have a sex organ to reproduce. It is a silly concept that the creator of all things would actually need a penis or vagina if they are the creator of all things.
Y’all she’s just thinking out loud, she’s not insinuating that god is a he/she/person.
No god is not a she male lol
"The heart has to be broken to open" I love Jhene smmmm
"Is it strange that I can't wait to meet my faith to see your face again"? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼☝🏼. How it feels to loose someone and wonder if its it will you ever see them
*fate
"Is it strange that I can't wait to meet my *fate* to see your face again"?
Beautiful, made me cry.. i actually felt that pain through your verses
i love this makes me really think about myself personally. definitely hit home and i love it. cant wait for her new album to come.
Me too
Broke the replay button button. Truly inspiring album. She DID that !
I love Jhené. I feel as if though we were meant to incarnate here on this planet, at the same time. I always believed that our soulmates don't have to be close to us in physical form, they are souls who we connect on another vibrational level. I discovered her music from a cover of The Worst here on UA-cam when I was around 10 and my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Her music was so different to me ! I played those songs on my guitar and sang, because she had a voice tone similar to mine and I felt comfortable and thrilled to explore my unique voice. When I was 17 I revisited The Worst when my Cancer childhood crush broke my heart. That's when I wrote my first song, for the boy who told me first that I had an amazing voice...
When I had my first dream about my true love I discovered Stay Ready and to that piece of art I wrote my first full notebook of poems and random thoughts. She taught me so much without ever knowing me. When I was 18 I started going deeper into tarot and astrology. I was ecstatic when I learned that Jhene is also a Pisces who is all about spirituality, self love and growth.
For the past 2.5 years I was lost, depressed, anxious. 18-20.5 has been an intense period for me. I forgot my roots and I was swimming in unknown waters. Little by little I was approaching... 3 months ago my step - grandfather, an amazing,loving individual passed wa diagnosed with cancer. In the spun of two months I lost him and my grandmother's sister, a small fragile lady who told me that she loved me on every visit and I told her back. That's when I first listened to W.A.Y.S.
Just yesterday I found out about your brother Jhene, I never knew. My faith grew stronger and in a dark and twisted way all that pain and sorrow moved me closer to peace. Now I'm getting ready for another trip, to finally get there.
To anyone that may read this: Sometimes, you got to anchor yourself, but know that you are never alone. Each individual has its own struggles, but the Universe, God, Angels, Fate is always there, holding your hand. Create, sing, laugh, cry, dance, read, love, write, kiss, touch, eat, experience and most importantly swim ...
❤ thank u 4 writing this. I Hope youre doing well
@@koshersalt951 Thank you for commenting and reminding me of this comment I made here, I needed to read it again ❤️
Happy New Year !
I wish you health, happiness and love 💕
I’m going to her concert today and I was rewatching this reading comments. I’m 17 and I’ve felt the same exact way, thank u for letting me see there’s also a glimpse of light. I feel so connected to jhene and im so glad we get to experience her in this life time, i feel a spiritual connection with her. Ur story is beautiful im glad others feel that was towards her! 💞
@@D3s0lat3 We can not see the light if there is no darkness ❤️ I hope you enjoyed her concert and wish you the best ❤️❤️❤️
This is by far one of the best short films I have ever seen in my life . It’s not only relatable it’s authentic, inspirational, hopeful, soulful and powerful, I mean ..... shall I continue??? 🔥💕🔥💕🔥💕🔥
Omg! 😮i almost used all the same words to describe this! Authentic, inspirational... yeah there’s just not enough words to say how truly powerful this film was.
Guillermo Morales Do you know where I can get her poem about her brother I want to write them down?
This is too beautiful. Too real. Too vulnerable. Too honest. Too incredible. How does Jhené continue to deliver such quality? She's Jhené. Ready to take this TRIP.
Jhené is such a beautiful soul. RIP Miyagi
2022 and i’m still obsessed with this movie 🤍✨🙌🏽 Thank you Jhene! You are truly an inspiration
there is just something about Jhené that is so different from every other artists out here. she's so pure & talented. the best part is that she doesn't even care about the numbers she makes, she shares because she truly wants to connect with her fans. this short film was absolutely beautiful. it gives us the reality of what pain is when we lose someone we love. i lost my father to leukemia a few months ago & watching this felt every single emotion. my condolences to anyone who has ever lost someone close to them ❤️
Am sorry about your dad cry
She seems like she's always at peace. 🙏 Can't wait for her album.
Absolutely beautiful. Wish more artists were like this.
Badbitch123 true
what, drug endorsers and addicts?
I cry every time I watch this. I lost my brother in 2014 and we both loved Souled out and been fans of Jhené since ‘03. Never knew the same album we played over and over again together, would be the one to help me through this death. Trip really dug in deep for me and it was hard for me to still accept him being gone but I’m glad she gave me this because it helped me stop running away from the pain and focus on the path of healing. Jhené- you are an angel sent from the heavens above thank you for everything you have done for this generation. We hurt. We run. And we inflict pain. Thank you for being the voice💕
Jhene should really go into acting. Who agrees with me🙌🏾
Educated Melanin No she wasnt
This was the most heartbreakingly beautiful piece of art I have seen in quite some time. Bravo.
Tears Instantly!! She writes and Sings from her soul!! The Love for her brother, so precious... He's always with you...
Who’s watching this and crying in 2020🥺
Saw this right before my grandmother pasted away this week. Ive never lost a close family member. This taught me that its okay to accept things. Not let them go. Because my grandmother will always live thru me thru my mother and my future kids. Whenever I look in the mirror I see all the beautiful woman that came before me
This one really struck me lost my brother 3 years ago and it hurts badly but i know hes still with me in spirit i loved this alot
I have a really bad habit of constantly underestimating Jhené. I’ve been a fan of hers for a few years now and every time she creates something new I tell myself “this is her best yet” but she never ceases to amaze me. Jhené continues to outdo herself and is such an inspiration to me. She has this ability to make me relate to her like no other artist can, almost like an old friend. She’s become therapeutic to me in so many ways and I love her for that ❤️
“Is it strange that I can’t wait to meet my fate just to see your face again”
I can 100% relate to this 😢
Love you brother 12/30/2020
sorry about your lost
I always hear that part in my mind. I lost my baby brother 03/08/2021. From leukemia.
Our brothers love us.
@@isabelgutierrez3658 yes they watch over us 💙 I’m sorry for your loss he’s in a better place with my brother 💙 stay strong he wouldn’t like to see you sad…
I lost my brother on April/30/2018 and that part hits deep every single time. I’m not seeking it out but making peace with death if it means seeing him again soothes me. I refuse to believe we won’t be reunited, siblings bonds can’t be broken, through life or death. I hope you’ve been healing and though grief never truly leaves I hope you made room for peace and happiness. I think our brothers would’ve wanted that for us. ❤
"You can create your own peace. Peace comes from within... there is so much in life that is out of our control and if we sat around and waited for the perfect conditions to create some good shit we never get anything done, sometimes you got to just block out the noise..."
You are a Light Jhene Aiko. Keep shining. #IndigoStarChild.
This woman MAKES you feel like she is your woman and all you wanna do is protect her the best way you can.
DallasBrotha for real!!!
This was one of the most beautiful short films I have watched. So poetic and deep. Talking about how sometimes we all have things holding us back that come from within us that we create in our minds and bodies. She proves how in order to move on you must accept it and know that you must live on. I am so happy I discovered this. Jhene Aiko is one of the most beautiful humans alive. She is a true gem and one of a kind.
listening to her songs like 3:16am and comfort in ending etc. they all connect this it's beautiful
I can't imagine what it must be like to be this vulnerable with the whole world . I salute her honesty and vulnerability 🙏🏼 so beautiful ❤️
seriously , to experience this and then share it with the world .. my oh my , that's strength
maya moon I’m so grateful that you got to your happy place
she's the female version of pac never felt like this towards no other artist💯.
I say the same thing
I agree
Kytelon Barksdale I wouldn't say that but jhene is absolutely incredibly talented👑
On my soul. 💜Every single song she writes has meaning
This made me start bawling. I coped the exact way she does in the video when I lost my brother, he was 23 I was 18. Same relationship they had (*have - that bond is eternal) her brother and mine even resemble each other so much . He would joke on me about how much I loved Tupac...I’m a cancer...(already an emotional water sign like pisces) Jhené and I have 1 daughter the same age as eachother - this hits home so hard for me 💔🥺😢😔
“I haven’t wrote anything good since he left” me: *literally likes every song that comes out and preformed by her*
Natalie Holland I swear 😂❤❤
Natalie Holland Same 😂
Thought I was the only one
same 😂 I was like how dare you ! that hurt to hear lmao
In the film she’s a different person and is supposed to be a poet. I think she meant that she hasn’t written any good poetry since he died.
“And fuck me for crying over spilled milk that i never planned on drinking”
THIS. GOT. ME.
what does it mean exactly? i keep wondering
This is so dope. Did anyone else cry from watching the parts about her brother?
Me. I lost my brother to suicide. And to find this last year was amazing for Me.
I watch this a million times a day.
Her story and passion as well as pain correlates with mine. Soul never tainted it just gets dark sometimes.
Your words are a savior. You say the things that most cannot say out loud. I truly appreciate you, sister, and I love you deeply. Peace and blessings
So I cried the whole video. From beginning to end. This vulnerability is not something you get from artists with your platform, and this is one of the many reasons you're my favorite. I love stuff like this, and I understand every aspect. I hope you're doing well Jhené, I love you
The first time I Iistened to any of Jhene’s albums / mixtapes from start to finish was recently when I smoked weed for the first time in two years and got super stizoned.
I planned on watching some pokemon episodes and a couple of UA-cam videos and to work on some UA-cam videos at the peak of my high but every time I tried to pause Trip, my mind was telling me “nothing is going to be better than just having full focus on this art.”
It was the first time I really found a connection and divine appreciation for Jhene and her music. Before, I’ve been following her on Spotify and knew she was one of the most beautiful people in the world from photos - but now I see that it’s like her albums tell her situations so beautifully through her positive melodies and voice, even if she’s singing about a sad or low vibe circumstance. Her art is so angelic and pure. I appreciate her lyrics and creative vision more than any artist right now.
The day after I got high, my intuition decided to skip down a research rabbit hole learning about her life and personal situations to get more perspective and clarity to her music.
After learning more about her daughter and the intimate relationship she has with her, it makes me cry a bit every time I hear “Sing To Me” because it’s so beautiful shows how great her alignment is as a parent. It made me reflect on the relationship that i have with my parents and see that I don’t think any of us would write something like that about each other, and reminded me that a lot of people have awesome, close, relationships with their families and I love Jhene’s songs about her brother (like For My Brother) and family because it’s so different from mine. Her stories bring me hope and joy that people connect so well, even when I’ve never felt a connection with any humans as strong as she’s had with Namiko or her brother (i love my dog like that though haha).
The day after that time I got stoned, I felt like a feeling of inspiration and liberation towards working more on my own art, similar to how Jhene and other artists are always focused on creating more. I filmed a few different UA-cam videos in the same day (they aren’t out on my channel yet) and even came up with an idea to challenge myself to stay consistent on my art for 30 consecutive days (i’ve struggled with daily consistency this summer a lot after ‘burning out’ a lil bit from my hustle and passion projects / art a few months before this).
A couple of days after I got stoned that night first night, I listened to her song “For My Brother” again 3 times in a row (and the first time I heard it was the night I smoked. The first night I felt like I should be crying to it and like I’ve never heard so much passion and clear delivery in any song before. Her lyrics are so easy to understand which creates a a lot of deliberate intentions through every song.) The second time I listened to it I was sober and it was 2am. I started bawling and crying harder than I have in years. Maybe even harder than I ever have, and definitely the most I have in my adult life.
“For My Brother” made me feel like I wish that I was close enough to someone in the ways that Jhene was best friends and siblings with Miyagi. In the moment i didn’t want to make the song about me, so I tried to focus on her lyrics but whenever I heard this
“And I know it was for a reason, I won't stop believing, I won't
And if the angels call your name
Baby please tell them you're staying
And if the angels call your name
Baby please tell them that you're staying
I know that you can hear this
I know that you can
Don't give up, don't give up on us,”
I couldn’t stop crying. In the moment I wished that I have felt the love for someone, that she has for him. It just made me appreciate her music so much and to help me see how deep love can be. It put me in her situation for a second and me me feel love in my heart for if I actually lost someone that close to me.
I love some people, but my whole life i’ve been pretty alone and independent, always finding love within myself and making myself my everything, and not expecting anything from others (but internally knowing that relationships are valuable of course). She is one of the only people / artist that I’ve wanted to actually get to know through researching her. Like usually I don’t know too much about someone’s backstory unless I’m a true fan (me towards Young Thug, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Tupac, etc). I feel like I’m supposed to be living near LA just to meet the people that live there like Jhene so it inspires to create more and to get recognized so I can one day collaborate and converse with them.
I remember I went to a spiritual concert type event in Downtown LA a few months back this year and Jhene visited the concert / event a couple of hours earlier than me that day (@CommunityHealing on IG - event). At the time, I didn’t really mind that I didn’t get to share presence and missed out on feeling her energy in person, but now that I am so much more aware of her wisdom, it makes me feel like I may see her at some point in LA in my life now that I am conscious and mindful of her to a deep level. I’ve seen these type of synchronicities happen to me multiple times in my life before since I grew up and live near Los Angeles. I grew up being really good friends with Warren G’s son and nephews, and have met many SoCal artists and actors etc in my life from being in the area - so I hope to one day experience a conversation with Jhene. Like just being mindful of a manifestation to meet someone definitely increases the odds of spontaneously seeing them. Jhene gives me a feeling of like I know her which feels so weird and I dont necessarily lik ethat feeling because it doesnt feel natural or like healthy to build these sort of one-way friendships with people i've never met from the internet like celebrities or whatever - but it feels okay this time because it feels real and like i have a feeling ill met her one day i guess is what it is.
But Jhene, I just want to say that you are love. You are such a kind being and it shows in the authenticity within your energy and music. Thank you for existing and creating such amazing stuff, my friend 💙

Love it’s so easy to Blaim god. It is not gods fault. You think our beloved father would do such a thing to us? No ma’am. You should look into more spiritual things and you’ll see god did not do this. I can’t even imagine ur pain coming from one mother to another i have a son as well. My heart breaks for you
Same.. my brother was killed in 2013.
Praying for you Love ❤️
That's soo sad...so sorry to hear that..may your baby boy rest easy and may your heart remain filled with love and forgiveness 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💙
