Lyrics
We came forward
Running backwards
No one mans a island
Shotgun riding for ya
Somehow we made it
Although jaded
Was it worth it all?
Could it be more?
Overdosing
At least I’m with my baby
We can’t get any higher
We can’t get past messiah
But we’re still chasing
For that feeling
Was it worth it all?
Could it be more?
And oh
What a way to die
Standing to eye to eye
Pretending we’re alive
As we grow colder
And oh
The devil that I know
Is better than the devil that I don’t
So we came forward
Running backwards
No one mans a island
Shotgun riding for ya
Somehow we made it
Although jaded
Was it worth it all?
Could it be more?

It's criminal just how short this song is 😔
Forealssss:(
I am genuinely mad!
@@mulugetakejela6126 me too...I want more.
@@cherrytina2847 You can blame the prevalence of streaming for that. The average length of the running time of songs has decreased as artists appeal to algorithms:

@@merlinmediagroup ookay, I get it now.. thanks 😊
His voice has a perfect mixture of soul and pain.. Impressed
are pain and soul not related somehow
Its more then that, goes to a whole new dimension
His voice speaks to my soul. I can't get enough of his music
This song speaks to Settling in a relationship. Getting married and plateauing. Slowing dying over the years, growing apart. Forever chasing the feeling of the honeymoon stage when infatuation led the way. Looking back at the years wondering if all of this was worth the wasted miserable years. But "Devil the I know" and comfortable with is "better than the Devil that I dont". Might as well stick what what I know, scared of the unpredictable and unknown. Saying to yourself, "It could always be worst, right?"
I love your breakdown of the meaning. Makes me sad that it's what many people end up doing. As much as it makes sense for stabilities sake. I want soooo much more.
That’s what’s sad about today. Everyone thinks marriage is about feeling and emotions instead of commitment and love. Love isn’t a feeling it’s an act, when you make that commitment until death it don’t matter how bad you feel, how bored, how uninspired or not willing... it’s a constant COMMITMENT to put your spouse as high as yourself, seeing it from a perspective not of personal gain. When you get bored or tired of raising a child do you just leave the child? Do you tell the child they aren’t giving you enough? No, because you made a commitment. Marriage isn’t a right, it’s a privilege. It isn’t temporary, it’s forever...
@@iblameabel Best comment thus far👏🏽👏🏽
@@iblameabel fr..
yes and might I add, the guy on the horse who almost made the crash...that seemed to represent everything one would have to give up or maybe its temptation. Either way, it almost made them have an accident but they avoided it. But it all ends the same...ok now I am sad. 😀
To everyone listening to this song you’ve got a great taste in music. This is therapeutic in times like these. One of the most underrated musicians at this point
🙋♀️🇨🇵 Agree with you. If you don't know them I invite you to discover SKALD and WOODKID. French band and singers. Their new CD are now avaliable. It's not the same kind of music but they are so good. In these terrible times they help us. Be safe😷
Dadwethu... it hits the spot. Jacob Banks is the best.. listen to Hostage
Really underrated
Ditto
I found him today. Saw him on telly being interviewed and performing at the end of the show. Beautiful voice and song.
Here for the trailer of “Monster”...just magic.
👍🏾
me too ✋🥥
same broo
Samee
Yo name 🥴 did y’all see the way he looked at her after they passed that sign 🥴🥴🥴👹
NO CAUSE IM LITERALLY SO PROUD THAT THIS SONG BECAME A SOUNDTRACK FOR THE MOVIE CALLED MONSTER FROM NETFLIX, IM SO HAPPPYYYY, THIS SONG DESERVE A LOT OF RECOGNITION HONESTLY
It is such a brilliant song. Fell in love with instantly.
SERIOUSLY. So glad i have netflix and saw the trailer and fell in love with this song
I ALSO RECOGNISED THAT I PUT MONSTER IN MY LIST
Bro, when I saw the trailer for that movie with this song, I immediately put it on, it got me, man this song it's in another level
Yea me too
This made me cry. It's been years since I felt such a strong bond to piece of art. I can't explain it. Thank you Jacob. This is special.
Exactly
this man knows how to give you goosebumps
You can say that again ♥️
This man is goosebumps irl
He needs to work something with giveon
Ennnit thooo
This ain’t no lie💖
I recently lost a friend to suicide, and this song has helped me through the pain.
She passed away, while our relationship wasn't in a good place.
I learned a lot from her, she meant a lot to me. We could not have been any more different, and we often argued, but I always wished the best for her. I experienced the highest and lowest period of my life with her. We strived to understand each other, and chased emotional connection, we went through a lot together, especially her struggles with depression.
We helped each other, and overcame a lot, but in the end, we became jaded. Even though it was destined to end, it was worth it all, I wouldn't take anything back. she was worth it all.
wow you just described me and my friends relationship exactly and I mean exactly, only she's still here but I don't know if that will last
❤
My heart goes out to you
Banks to the world❤️
"Devil That I Know"
We came forward
Running backwards
No one man's a island
Shotgun riding for ya
Somehow we made it
Although jaded
Was it worth it all?
Could it be more?
Overdosing
At least I'm with my baby
We can't get any higher
We can't get past messiah
But we're still chasing
For that feeling
Was it worth it all?
Could it be more?
And oh
What a way to die
Standing eye to eye
Pretending we're alive
As we grow colder
And oh
The devil that I know
Is better than the devil that I don't
So we came forward
Running backwards
No one man's a island
Shotgun riding for ya
Somehow we made it
Although jaded
Was it worth it all?
Could it be more?

@@likhobayabongamosana3824 You could say that again, we need to see him live
Plz
Right front and centre. I will be there by the robots handing out flyers.
jacob meditates on the concept of love and loss that runs through his songwriting. He forewarns of the cost of love, remarking how love is expensive and that it all comes to an end regardless of how you feel or what you want… particularly in relation to marginalised groups and conversations around oppression, he highlights that even though everything ends, something will always take its place.
That was longer than the song! But thanks for explaining it to me as I couldn’t work the meaning out for myself!
South Africa 🇿🇦 where are you?
Hey
present.
Yoh
We are within!
Zambia butah 🇿🇲
Imma need longer versions, cause this don't make no damn sense how your voice makes me feel ♥
rest easy spooky and abuelita 🕊
Show brought me here as well
South Africa approves ❤❤❤😍😍
Always ♥️🇿🇦
You're right❤
When is he coming this side vele?
If he ever comes to South Africa sicela ukungaphazamiswa we want to enjoy the music😭😭😭🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥
@@thandolwethumpungose7040 A concert I would call in sick from work for 😂😂❤❤❤
What a beautiful song. Questioning the meaning of marriage, of taking risks in intimacy and setting goals for a mutual future , especially at a time of a wide world crisis.
This song sums up my past relationship, I had strong feelings to end it, but I just couldn't let go. All the years we have spent together, there's no way on earth i'd let that slide. Even though I could feel our values and goals drifting apart, i still stayed, until we couldn't stay no more. Is it more painful to let go when you're suppose to, or when you've invested so much time and letting go hurts deep inside. Well, it's been a year, and I'm glad we did. I only feel better now, i don't think the pain was worth it!
cannot stop listening to this magic. and cannot stop crying.
Here before the "who's here because of Monster on Netflix" comments.
His voice is amazing.
How dare u... Only 2:44? We deserve more of this 🔥🔥🔥🔥
😂 I feel your pain
I know right? Same thing as "Like you never know me" way too short!
It’s always the shortest songs that are the best. Thank god for the replay button
I've never heard a singer that sings with so much emotion before. this is just amazing.
Jacob banks criminally underrated
“The devil that I know, is better than the devil that I don’t.”
I Really like that line.
This song is exactly what I need right now. My heart is broken, we tried, but it wasn't enough. We tried and were too different. This song makes is what we felt, we were jaded, tired...we wondered if it would be worth it all. But sometimes letting is more loving than holding on.
Same. Keep your head up
I know this feeling all to well
The emotions I went through after listening to this song 💔
Same
simple lyrics, yet packed with so much messages and interpretations.
This song brings me to the best form of tears. I’m proud of Jacob for moving the world with that Blues Anointed voice
If you here, congratulations 👏 you have a great taste in music ❤
Yes I do and so do you!👏🏽
I know, right?
I know right 😁 thanks and bless ya 🙏🏽☮️
You can say that again
I'm ugly crying now..such a beautiful song
Ma chanson préférée dans l'univers....
This is one of the greatest songs ever, I come back to it so often.
Yet MOST PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT
..Just know ill be forever playing this
One Love x
"Welcome to the end. Don't drown"
Wow. Why does this make so much sense to me? 🥺🥺
this was on on my block at such a perfect time. I’m so happy they noticed talent
it was in which episode?
@@redmooninvenus_ ep 9 i think when oscar died
@@iCrazyRaise oh yeaaa tysm !!
Fun fact your the first to mention it :)
@@redmooninvenus_ episode 7 1:29
Pls just drop an album already😣😣🤤😩
This is the trailer bro lol
That moment when the music connects to your life eternally
I don't understand the video, but I love it. The tension is wild. Shout out to Jacobs Banks and the actress in this video. Makes me want to see a feature length version.
OMFG. The apocalyptic event at the end is .... perfect.
Ouuuuuuu this with headphones is a blessing. THIS VIBE IS ✨✨✨✨✨✨IMMACULATE✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
let's talk about how this felt like a horror movie for a moment. You had a feeling that something bad is going to happen but they made it instead.♥️ May your love be like that too, all discouraging signs around but move forward and be the one to make it.🇿🇦
oh ,what a beautiful song about falling out of love and regret .
Thanks “on my block”
"So we came forward, riding backwards." Life. ❤️
Most slept on artist.
Came across this track from a trailer for monster .... cant stop playing on repeat, thank you Jacob Banks ... just beautiful ❤
For real. What a movie
The actor is in a masterpiece of a film called Waves, please watch it if u haven’t seen it yet 🙏🙌
@@coreycasciano3255 thank you just found it on netflix 👍
One million plus views isn't enough, the entire world needs to listen to this.
I swear I've loved every song you've ever sang and I couldn't help myself when I saw this new release, so lovely ❤️😍
No words, just perfect.
this is truly a masterpiece nothing else i can say especially if it makes a tear come down my face and give me chills 🙏
my god, nina Simone would be immensely proud to hear a song like this❤️ my god ... i can't stop crying ...
First person I thought of this harkening to was Ray Charles with the naked piano and minimalist synths.
I don't want this song to end.......Perfection 💯
Am zambia a big hearted country in africa. This song gives me peace in my heart ache. A darkness that has been covered by different things to the point that I do not remember the start.
OMB brought me here and I ain’t mad about it 👂🏾
Everything from the audio to the video. I love.
ON MY BLOCK BROUGHT ME HERE
overdosing with my "baby" cheers to ms bc. saved this life.
The tears just flow naturally😔❤
What would my life be without Jacob, so thankful❤
First heard this song in “On My Block”. My heart ❤️
As the world ended around them the one thing they seem to be sure of is the love they feel. In a time where our lives have become a mirror of their world the emotions in this video have shown me that even standing in the face of death, even with the devil riding down on you, as long as you are together you’ll find a way.
That is not what this song is about
@@r0nnie actually it is, as you see the two in the end were still with one another regardless of the death that came their way.
This brother's voice is everything. I ❤your music.
For real doe
I don't know how your voice makes me wanna cry, I always have this big lump up in my throat whenever I listen to your music 😩😩❤
Literally crying. Sad & happy tears at the same time 🙃
Dude......why am I crying 😔
His voice, this song has my soul dancing back and forward like its battling love with a higher power.
Gifted. This type comes around every few decades.. the word usage and meaning is out of planet. The subliminal subduction touches the fiber of one spirit.. I am thankful to have encountered this body of work...
On my Block brought me here 💪🏾❤️R.I.P Spooky
Man…Jacob Banks 💯 Seriously one of my favorite songs ever written.
The devil that I know is better than the devil that I don't 🍻🍻
The video looks like a weird dream...kuddos to the director❤
I first heard this song in a PSA for the Reform Alliance. It is so beautiful..sad, and haunting. Makes me cry.
Jesus is the way the truth and the life, No one gets to the Father but by him. Jesus died so that you can have everlasting life. Place your faith on Jesus. Trust Jesus.
God bless you all
Jesus pbuh is no more than a prophet of God .
@@haris6621 Jesus is your Eternal, Uncreated God:
Allah say seek refuge in only God:
If a provocation from the devil incites you, then seek refuge with God. He is the Hearer, the Knower. S. 7:200
And in his Word:
He said: Oh, had you said in the evening: "I take refuge IN THE PERFECT WORDS OF ALLAH from the evil of what He created," nothing would have harmed you, Allah willing. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 28, Number 3889; *)
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:
The Apostle of Allah used to teach them the following words in the case of alarm: I seek refuge IN ALLAH'S PERFECT WORDS from His anger, the evil of His servants, the evil suggestions of the devils and their presence. Abdullah ibn Amr used to teach them to those of his children who had reached puberty, and he wrote them down (on some material) and hung on the child who had not reached puberty. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 28, Number 3884; *)
And Jesus is the Word of God:
Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a WORD from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to God; S. 3:45
And the angels called to him, standing in the Sanctuary at worship, ‘Lo, God gives thee good tidings of John, who shall confirm a WORD of God (bi-kalimatin mina Allahi), a chief, and chaste, a Prophet, righteous.’ S. 3:39
O ye who have received the scriptures, exceed not the just bounds in your religion, neither say of God [any other] than the truth. Verily Christ Jesus the son of Mary [is] the apostle of God, and his WORD (wa-kalimatuhu), which he conveyed into Mary, and a spirit [proceeding] FROM him (wa-roohun minhu). Believe therefore in God, and his apostles, and say not, [there are] three [Gods]; forbear [this]; it will be better for you. God is but one God. Far be it from him that he should have a son. Q. 4:171
Because:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John1:1
Seek refuge in the Eternal, Uncreated Word of God Jesus Christ and you will not perish.
May God be with you
Jesus is Lord.
God bless you too💖
"The devil that I know is better than the devil that I don't".. damn Jacob. I really hope that there will be a longer version of this.
Came across this as I searched for something else, I'm not in a great place so I'm a little emotional but this was a beautifully melancholy surprise. Great song and video.
Love, love, love this.
heard this from an ad, left the video, and IMMEDIATELY came to search this song up
Goosebumps when the song builds up to these lines
And oh, what a way to die/
Standing eye to eye/
Pretending we're alive as we grow colder/
And oh, the devil that I know/
Is better than the devil that I don't
The haunting poetry😭😭
Saw notification and picked up the phone with shaking hands lmao
This man is everything
How is it possible that every song he sings is perfect?
Already tearing up and the song has barely started. Saving this for after work 😭
This Bros music is so symbolic👍👍💯
So beautiful this song and video, thank you for sharing and creating this period the love between us couple is absolute precious
and oh
What a way to die
Standing eye to eye
Pretending we're alive
As we grow colder
😓
Jacob usually hits a soft spot
Very underrated this guy's voice is amazing.
Listening on repeat...This song is heartbreaking & so beautiful. Thanks Mr. Banks
I think this song is simply living life... eye to eye with your soulmate... through it all... good and bad.
Your voice always make me feel nostalgic, embrace, safe and push me to think about life.
Imagine Jacob Banks x Giveon
Imagine
shit we need that
Omg that thought is always on my mind
Ohhhh yesss!!! 🥰
x frank ocean x brent faiyaz
That’ll be 🔥🔥🔥
This guy is something else...
*MUSIC IS THE ONLY TIME MACHINE*
Your voice always make me feel nostalgic, embrace, safe and push me to think about life. love you so much
omg......this man's music makes my heart and soul pound like crazy!
I hope Spotify recognizes this is my most played track of the year regardless of restarting the track before it finished
Why is he soo underrated? Its 2022 and I only found this song because of "Monster" trailer that I watched yesterday- not fare. From the very first chords I could not watch, I could only hear his perfect, yet melancholic voice. Song blended with the movie trailer perfectly and I said to myself its not the movie I wanna watch, its the song I want to have on repeat. I will always remember "Monster" because of THIS song. Jacob, you made my day, I found you today and thank you for being YOU
Just wanted to say how unique and incredible yr voice is, WOW
He's about to drop an album y'all. 😍😭
I'll defintely be buying it.. and I don't buy albums.. but I'll buy his!!!
Don't know the reason but once you hear it. It makes you hear it again and again
This song is so perfect. Wish it was longer but I feel like the length of the song is perfect
