      CouldBeBlue correction, most underrated artist!! But I appreciate artists before they become super mainstream or listened to by the mass majority of ppl. There's something pure x honest ab them. Like how Miguel, x SZA, x Kehlani were before that big single made them a household name.

    because when you listen to the whole album in sequence this song is supposed to act as a "commercial" between tracks 2 and 4 as if Frank is flipping through the channels. thats why the song kind of sounds like its playing over static or some old school radio station..its such an amazing snippet though i wish he did the whole song too!!!

    [Verse 1]
    I got a garden where it never rains
I feed the flowers tears, they don't complain
    Can I get you to cry, baby (baby)
If I tell you a lie, baby? (baby)
I just need a reaction
To keep it alive baby (baby)
    'Cause I've got a garden in my heart
And I can't survive without some (kind of)
    [Chorus]
    Fertilizer I'll take bullshit if that's all you got
    Without some fertilizer, tears, and sunshine all the growing stops
Whatever I just need it from you
I just need it from you
    [Verse 2]
    Well I heard that the flowers love to hear you sing, baby girl
Put your ear to my heart, bet you won't hear anything
Can I get you to sing baby? (baby)
Give me something in E major? (major)
    Pretty darling, your silence is driving me crazy
    Girl I got a garden in the dark, and I can't survive
    Without some kind of

Now I heard Drake's new song, Girls Love Beyonce, featuring this guy."James Fauntleroy" I think Drake has a good taste in bringing most of the Talent artist up on the spot light. I am really hoping to see this guy more often. I hope he gets the public attention just as much as he got as The Weeknd when Drake brought him out.
