She mentions almost every action I tried to make trying to get rid of depression and anxiety, but I still have it regardless. I think that's like but theirs thing like this song and music that keeps you sane.
I hope you're doing well. Ive been there and working through it. Just remember youre in control of your own destiny. Whatever you focus on grows. If your environment is toxic then you need to gtfo. If ots the people then its time to BOUNCE.
I loved this song ..... Missing the love of my life my husband who died of cancer 16 month ago I love you Lee rest peacefully in God arm until we meet again. XoXo
I'm so proud of Solange for picking up the Grammy for Best R n B performance for this song! Whoop whoop! I knew she had one coming and it was long overdue!
I know im late but damn, hadnt realized she won it....i've had this song on when I'm drinking and it takes me on all types of mood, 1 friend I showed liked this song,its my go to,I wish i had other to enjoy this masterpiece
Maybe Solange is telling us worldly pleasures can not ease life's pains & problems... I tried to PRAY it away and I was SUCCESSFUL!!! Love you Solange!!!
People say this song is about a man but I think this song is about depression because she said "I had to let go my lover, thought if I was alone then maybe I could recover" she's not recovering from a man, she's recovering from something else and I can relate
Absolutely, she referring to depression and I can relate. I've been feeling depressed for the past couple of weeks and didn't know why, because life is good!! Sometimes you can't explain it! She did a wonderful job at expressing it!!
Exactly nvr once even if that verse werent there did I feel it was abt anything other than recovering yourself. When you just cant do it anymore and did anything but look in, pray, and recover. Addiction whatever to is much more than just a love affair.
Better than her overrated sister. She's like the black Noah Cyrus,a better singer than the overrated/talentless big sister by light years. Just doesn't get enough credit..
1 of my brother's favorite songs, only if I knew his hurt. I love you so much, he was killed by the police on 6/23. I miss you so much bro. I know your so happy though, you don't have to be in this cold world no more. But I want justice, cause they murdered you in cold blood. I will continue to fight, no matter wht. Until we meet again love you always.
I am truly sorry for your loss and I whole heartedly understand how you feel every fukin day. My brother was killed by the cops too back in 2016. If u want we can exchange emails and talk sometimes. Take care and God bless
Born2Brag Right and just problems in general. I thought depression too and fighting yourself. When you know what you should do but have a hard time doing it.
Beautiful song...speaks to me in saying you can try and distract yourself with everything around you...but you still must be face who you are...authentically. Stop running away from the person you were created and destined to be.
Those cellos, that beat, the mood, her phrasing, her idiosycratic movements, those little cracks in her voice, and the melancholia...all gather together to pull us along...and we've all been there...well, I know I have...beautiful piece of musical art.
This is nominated for a Grammy for Best R n B song and I pray to God she snags it! She's been long overdue for Grammy nods and across the board recognition. The woman is very artistic and talented! Been a fan since 2008's Sol Angel and The Hadley Street Dreams. Anybody just now catching on with ASATT is late!
Millicent Cunningham, Stay in control of your ego, whether anybody has only just caught onto Solange recently or right from the start isn’t important as everyone has their own starting point of discovery, fact is she’s talented and that’s all that matters!
God sent this song to me. I truly needed to hear this. Its time to get into ACTION! I'm not alone. I'm lovin this song. Keep GOD first. Thank you!!!!!!!!
The song is about internal trauma that we try to not acknowledge by masking it with other things. It began to pile up to a point we can’t handle it no more. Problems unresolved becomes a bigger problem when we don’t deal with it. She never said “I tried to talk it away or pray it away” . That helps but we have to acknowledge there is a problem first. Anxiety and depression is a result of underlying issues and it shows we need healing.
It’s like this song reminds me of trying to get by in this world today and everything we’re going thru and literally nothing makes me happy but this song makes it a little easier ❤️
The lyrics are authentic, Solange' s voice is melodic, harmonic, and splendid. She paints a mental opus evoking one to feel. The high priestess of soul and REALNESS! Digging this dope song. Relatable!
Im glad that Solange remained true to herself & her art. All of the accolades she has received for this song are _beyond_ due! Blessings to her. This song is timeless just as Sade's _Sweetest_ _Taboo_ or _Cherish_ _The_ _Day._ Great Job Mrs. Solange Knowles-Ferguson!
Such an incredibly sobering and yet uplifting song. Solange has captured my feelings to such a point that she may have saved my life. I exaggerate not. The tears I've cried to this immense song have somehow cleared my mind. Thank you Solange You are immense!
Metal clouds and steel waters. Sometimes you feel stuck and helpless and out of desperation you try everything you can do get through it....this songs articulates that soo well.
I LOVE her new album. The lyrics, artistry, harmonies, it's beautiful and not overrun with runs. I hate the cookie cutter pop hop crap on the radio. This is amazing.
That's been my question for thought. Its peculiar of all the things she could have anologized, she used "cranes." What do you think she's referring to when she says she don't wanna feel those "metal clouds?" Very interesting, but I love it bcuz it makes me think deeper into my soul.
Michelle Summer I think the metal clouds symbolize any burdens wearing you down, particularly emotional ones. Solange is pure genius and is finally getting her just due. My fave artist, Erykah Badu is good friends with her and loves her to death! She really admires her work. ASATT should've been nominated for Grammy Album of the Year, but it's too black.
Millicent Cunningham ok. That makes since. Funny you mention Erika Badu bcuz I was thinking how mich this has that Erica vibe going on. Thanks for responding.🙏
This song is beautifully ethereal..... the theme of convalescing over a loveless relationship touches everyone of us on a spiritual level..... but she's mastered the emotive skill of tapping into hidden complex feelings that are so hard to describe but very much relatable on a simplistic human level.
No words. Utter perfection. This describes how I felt after my break-up more accurately than anything I’ve yet read. The beat and relentless repetition of that rim and high hat. And those heavenly vocals...
A just think of my son. Lost him 2 years ago..Love this song. Yes a done it all but the pain is still there. Thank you for singing this beautiful song. Miss you so much my wonderful son. Rest easy to we meet again 🤲❤🥰
i am sooo mesmerized by her voice and her presence. she makes me feel at ease.. hearing the echoing sound that resonates within me. Her appearance is so powerfull it can Move Mountains, that's how unique Solance her artistry is. An exceptionally beautifull soul. yeah she reminded me intsantly of incomparible DIANA ROSS!!! the same sensual and sexy and alluring cualities just like the Ultimate vinatage dream... Pure magic... mmmh mmmh mmmhhh . Gots to love her!!!!
I've been with all the wrong people until now, finally met my mirror. These songs held me through those heartbreaking moments. I thank God for my person....
This song speaks for me I struggle with depression and anxiety daily and it's so hard. I just want to be happy and feel normal and not beat myself up. I also struggle with the deaths of my mother who died in 2000, grandmother who died in 2013, cousin who died in July of 2019, and my brother who died in December of 2018 it's all so hard. I've tried almost everything in the song Solange talks about and still trying all those things but none of it helps I dont wanna hurt anymore
I've been listening to this song all day. I love the melody, arrangement, and lyrics am not surprised to see Raphael had his hands on this one. Also Solange has become a beautiful woman, love the vid
So fucking raw and relatable in a spiritual way! I hate celebrities now but every now and then God pushes through and it creates brilliance. Say what you want about any genre of music but if you just let go and let your soul feed into the emotion the song its conveing it breathtaking. Raphael gave her this song so I really don't know its who I commend but it moved me every time I hear it.❤❤❤❤❤
I caught that. Brilliant! That's why I through out my comment earlier asking listeners what their interpretation was to the part when shes says I don't want to feel those metal clouds? Just interesting how she symbolically makes the analogy of "cranes" in the sky. They're are also birds called cranes, but when she sings on about metal clouds, it gives you an idea of which cranes she's speaking about. I'm still thinking about those metal clouds... I love when music goes deep in the soul like this jam. She won me over with 3 songs on this album!
It's difficult for me to say what she means bcuz my perception of what she means maybe different from hers. Like the person commented before me that she kinda leaves it to the listener to fill in the blanks of what it means to them. It may not have 1 specific meaning at all. Someone gave me their answer of what the metal clouds were and and made sense but I'm more interested in the analogy of why she chose cranes and metal clouds to compare them to love, depression, or whatever it is she's really saying in this song. I'm sure we all have our interpretation of it by reading the comments. What I will try to do is talk to someone who works in construction with cranes and all, just to see what other meaning that may be hidden beneath these lyrics. lol Sounds kind of extreme but I think thats what makes songs like this so genius...the writing!
she the "black Queen" the most powerful piece on the chess board, is running from building the kingdom, for their people... every other race thats in America, are economically, politically, and socially aware of who they are and how to unite and build except blacks...let that marinate...so she basically being selfish by running..
You know, this is one talented soul. Her artistry is truly something, I can only imagine where her thoughts whisks her away to. Even under the shadow of her uber talented sister... She shines. Sadly so bright too many have their eyes closed.
2020 has been a tough year. I just found this song finally I didn't even know who sang it. Solange you smashed it 💯% with this one 👆 I got it on repeat 🤣
Yo frfr I can literally sit down and smoke at least 4 blunts with this song on repeat and relax and breathe 😩😩I swear if it wasn't for this song I would've been lost it .
Cranes in The SKY!!!! My HeartFelt Prayers goes out to you & YOUR FAMILY🙏🏾 I too lost my MOM 12-23-16 & it's a StruGgle EVERY DAY but with "GOD"...... "PRAYER"& Those MEMORIES, Oh the Memories💔🖤❤️ will Get You Through The Pain❣️
Still listening 2024!?!! Anyone but me
This song is without a doubt playing on the soundtrack of my life!! 🙏🏿
She mentions almost every action I tried to make trying to get rid of depression and anxiety, but I still have it regardless. I think that's like but theirs thing like this song and music that keeps you sane.
I understand. It'll be alright, stay strong!
Your comment is two years old but I hope you are feeling much better!
me too. it's my 8th year suffering from PTSD. life is a bitch 😞

I hope you're doing well. Ive been there and working through it. Just remember youre in control of your own destiny. Whatever you focus on grows. If your environment is toxic then you need to gtfo. If ots the people then its time to BOUNCE.

Yes... I'm Wowed by it also. I hope Solange sees some of this. Would love for her to continue on and Hollyweird keep there hands off her.
I'm so proud of Solange for picking up the Grammy for Best R n B performance for this song! Whoop whoop! I knew she had one coming and it was long overdue!
Yay ❤️🙌🏽💯 she deserved it
I know im late but damn, hadnt realized she won it....i've had this song on when I'm drinking and it takes me on all types of mood, 1 friend I showed liked this song,its my go to,I wish i had other to enjoy this masterpiece
Yes, I felt she was going to win. The best song of the year in that category.
Maybe Solange is telling us worldly pleasures can not ease life's pains & problems... I tried to PRAY it away and I was SUCCESSFUL!!! Love you Solange!!!
I concur whole heartedly. There's no pain that HE (Jesus) can't heal and no sorrow He can't feel.
I Love This Beautiful Song Why Because It Has Slot Of Meaning To It
well said! k bey
Bingo!
I find that hard to believe
This song absolutely resonates with my soul, beautifully written, sang & arranged. Thank You
Yes God is good all the time

This song is about relationships, family, a loss, depression, and a way to overcome sorrow.
she found her sound 🎶👌
Crystal Williams nice (fabulous voice)
SHE ALWAYS KNEW HER SOUND. COME AGAIN?
Better than her overrated sister. She's like the black Noah Cyrus,a better singer than the overrated/talentless big sister by light years. Just doesn't get enough credit..
Just heard this song now. It’s Awesome !
@@mastadon3692 No need to put Beyonce down for her. They are both talented!
1 of my brother's favorite songs, only if I knew his hurt. I love you so much, he was killed by the police on 6/23. I miss you so much bro. I know your so happy though, you don't have to be in this cold world no more. But I want justice, cause they murdered you in cold blood. I will continue to fight, no matter wht.

I am truly sorry for your loss and I whole heartedly understand how you feel every fukin day. My brother was killed by the cops too back in 2016. If u want we can exchange emails and talk sometimes. Take care and God bless
🙏🏾🙏🏾
This song is an example of how many people deal with depression but yet it still goes unnoticed by many ; even love ones.😥🙏🙏🙏❤
For some reason I feel like this song is about trying to deal with depression.
Born2Brag Right and just problems in general. I thought depression too and fighting yourself. When you know what you should do but have a hard time doing it.
Born2Brag it is! That is exactly how I be feeling and the things I do when trying to cope with my depression
I feel like that too, I tried all these, don't wanna feel those metal clouds... what a poet!
no this song is about a woman telling the person
that she loss in a relationship
what she went through after
their love life was overrrr
Born2Brag As a person who has been diagnosed with depression it is exactly what I was doing. it is truly a real thing
Beautiful song...speaks to me in saying you can try and distract yourself with everything around you...but you still must be face who you are...authentically. Stop running away from the person you were created and destined to be.
adrenna1973 beautifully put, really needed that insight😘😘thx
Yesss! This is the best interpretation of the song to me! 😍
You hit it head on!
I can relate.....a crane in the sky
...
adrenna1973 you helped me on that one...
Those cellos, that beat, the mood, her phrasing, her idiosycratic movements, those little cracks in her voice, and the melancholia...all gather together to pull us along...and we've all been there...well, I know I have...beautiful piece of musical art.

I feel this song like a musical healing against depression
It really is?

Nothing makes me happy ietha not even money I realized all the fly shit we think is fun don't mean shit when u lack true love
The lyrics are authentic, Solange' s voice is melodic, harmonic, and splendid. She paints a mental opus evoking one to feel. The high priestess of soul and REALNESS! Digging this dope song. Relatable!
This song talks to my soul , anybody ever dealt with depression this explains it all ! I love it 😌

I Cry everytime i hear this song!! 💪💔💜💜💜
me too but on the inside
Me too girl but if I watch the video I don’t it’s so beautiful
I cried when I first heard it. I was going through some things. I am stronger now. The song still touches me, but in a different way.
Absolutely my favorite right mow. She straight nailed it and I feel we all can relate to the lyrics, the vibe of the beat .
for real.... soooooo relatable...
Shonte Davis what is Crain
"I tried to keep myself busy I ran around in circles think I made myself dizzy"💞💞😻
I like when she says "Eh yeh it's like" confirming cranes in the sky is what it's like, metal clouds hurt you all over
Such an incredibly sobering and yet uplifting song.
Solange has captured my feelings to such a point that she may have saved my life. I exaggerate not.
The tears I've cried to this immense song have somehow cleared my mind.
Thank you Solange
You are immense!
This song helped me thru the beginning stages of ptsd . The days I couldn't move this song helped me push myself to get up 💌
Metal clouds and steel waters. Sometimes you feel stuck and helpless and out of desperation you try everything you can do get through it....this songs articulates that soo well.
Love this song can't get enough ❤️❤️❤️❤️ reminds me of the 90s

wow how beautiful is this. The lyrics are so real and her voice is just outstanding and Raphael Saadiq is an amazing singer song writer....
she puts my mind at ease! great song

Solange voice is amazing like I don't now what to say
Litterally crying to this song. Nothing can get rid of this feeling but the truth. They say the truth will set u free
This song brought me to tears. Just understood what your song means. Im free now!
I tried to cry it away when I lost my parents, I love this song the music and the lyrics relax me in this stressful world on the repeat.
suprisingly she writes a lot of her sisters music..she preferred to stand back
I LOVE her new album. The lyrics, artistry, harmonies, it's beautiful and not overrun with runs. I hate the cookie cutter pop hop crap on the radio. This is amazing.

post partum depression is a real thing!!
Ugh tell me about it ! I'm going through it right now 😟 just glad my baby is here already though
It is! I went through myself

I get into my feelings every time when I hear this, makes me think of my mommy and how I had to deal with her death. Wow 💔
