If you start listening to “Nights” by Frank Ocean on December 31st at 11:56:30, the transition in the song will be perfectly synced with the switch from 2017 to 2018 at midnight. Which is a great way to end and start the year.
Blonde trully makes you forget the uncertainties of the future, get over the heartaches of the past, and ease the fears of both. You dance in the moment but the emotions and memories forcibly join the mix. Blonde (Nights) felt like a soundtrack for those "Summer Nights." The nights that left you waking up in the afternoon to the sun stinging your skin through your bedroom blinds. The nights that left you with memories. Those nights you wish you could experience again like it was the first time, with moments and emotions you can't replicate. *Having fun on tight budgets* All the faces and places, talking about our futures and dreams, love interests, late night restaurant sittings, getting over the one that got away, the fragrance of buttered popcorn in movie theaters, hitting up the drive-thru faded, first time tasting liquor, partying, seshes, living one day at a time, watching the smoke dissapear into the air with our miniscule worries. Frank really captured those feelings in an album.
this is exactly what I imagine when I listen to this song a busy ass city like Tokyo or new york at night, billboards/cars/lights all lit up, but yet there’s something silent and slowed down ab it it’s hard to explain
The other night I was in my back porch smoking. I was high sitting under a crecent moon and a mild cold sky thinking about life, been sorta suicidal lately and that day specially was rough, I had my headphones on playing this track when a cat jumped over the fence and sat right infront of me. He just stared at me so I decided to go inside and fetch him a can of tuna. I remember telling him as he ate, "yep, you're right! I need to stay because you need me." Yeah. This song is the perfect company for those type of nights.
summer nights.. end of the week, end of the year... exhausting day, rushing to get ready - late, again... running to the train, getting on - barely made it... getting a seat, breathing heavily - in, out. still warm outside.. watching the sky turn pink, then red, a little purple... watching people leaving their job, exhausted, ready for the weekend... watching people gather outside, in parks, welcoming the weekend... getting off the train - weekend.
@@mateusz4295 i didn't even know my comment got that popular until i saw your reply :o i hope you are alright, wishing you all the best! you got this babe!
I need to share my thoughts. In the beginning of the song, Frank mentions ''everybody needs you'' (00:06) the beat is pretty much repeating itself. It feels like a safe place. Everything goes like it should, hence (why) ''everybody needs you''. Then the beats changes to ''new beginnings'' (1:39) you try something new. Unfortunatley the new thing you try fails. It slowly falls apart (3:00) That's where the beat changes to a more chaotic beat. You dont know what to do with yourself. Emotion is all over the place and in your head. Thoughts are going fast, you don't know what to do with yourself. Then, the beat changes to a soft, quiet beat. (3:28). You don't know what to do with your own emotions and can't get a hold of yourself. Suddenly nobody needs you.
leila. You’re gonna get through everything I believe in you and I can relate to you so much about life and shit it’s kinda stressful and boring just so much going on but this song does make you think a lot about everything which is good and bad but you’re gonna get through it.🤞🏽
@@spookyjvn8829 Yess thank you so much. I really appreciate it. 💜 I have faith in myself. I'll help myself through this. Life is really just a bunch of highs and lows. It just scares me that 2020 is in a couple days. No telling what this year is going to be about.
This was one of the first songs I heard after beating my life long depression. Today this day it still reminds me of my victory!!! I pray when I meet my special lady that we can listen to this song on repeat and just enjoys each other presence
Blonde is the album I fell in love with my first love with. I was studying abroad in the location of this video, Hong Kong. We'd sing the entire album to each other until 5am day after day, skipping classes, going out, and doing it over again. Best 2 months of my life.
The sublime melancholy that a city transmits, where every character is submerged in materialistic jungle accompanied with this song brought tears to my eyes, truly beautiful. Thank you for your work.
And that was it, a decade passed. As the song progress you are encapsulated by the memories, the thing you love, and the thing you hate. It's all passed. As the beat start to switch everything become fast paced, emotions rushed. And the switch happened. You are left with a new start.
I swear on my soul that this song speaks to me on a deeper level than I can explain. I know some songs are very loose with being able to relate to, but its so direct to how things are in my life. The melody throughout is immeasurable. Blessings~
Im someone who doesn't actively listen to or search for R&B, pop, hip-hop, etc type music, but this song caught me so off guard and captivated me so hard, I was blown away at what it made me feel on first full listen. I was actually playing GTAV and stopped outside of finishing my mission just to finish this song, my jaw just half open at what FO was doing to my heart and earholes with this song. I could probably count on one hand how many artists have had that instant of an impact on me. What a cool dude, hope he never stops creating.
This song gives me a dreamy weekend kind of vibe. Like you just came back from an awesome party in the city on a Friday night and you slowly doze off while reminiscing on the wild memories.
3:28 - deserves an epic build up, like a speeding car, manal gear changes, until driver gets distracted by something like lust, and car crashes, and we see shots of sobering moments as car rolls, shaterred glass in slow motion eitherway a 9/10 - great vid
wow man, seeing the opening part of this video make me realise how much i miss travelling to hong kong, but hkg condition right now really makes me sad, sending all prayers to hkg people that fighting for their freedom
This video is beautifully shot and edited. It captures the psychedelic nature of the song and reminds me of the feelings of L$D. I spent the past two years in Hong Kong so this was highly nostalgic for me. Keep doing what you're doing.

You’re the best
Jose Lino woah pg
the 1:40 transition is better for the NY, sorry
I WILL SET AN ALARM FOR THIS YEAR! THANKS FOR THE IDEA :)
The two halves of the song sort of remind me of being at school or a party having fun and then going home and remembering how sad and alone you are...
salad man I feel that on a spiritual level. But even in that loneliness and that sadness you have strength.
or when you’re at school or a party and your social switch turns off so then u just be vibin and zone off
I hope you're ok
young acid this comment hit me so hard because this is exactly what I play otw home from school/party and I feel the same way
Holy shit
People don’t realize frank ocean ain’t from this earth... the guys music is so euphoric it’s incredible this visual is amazing btw.

Thank you! I'm so glad people liked the transition since it's one of the most important parts of the song! Glad it did justice.

In this song Frank is tryna say that night repairs the world and people for the recurring days and hassle of everyday life planet included
marcus moore beautiful, beautifully said. Love what you got out of the song. Night being a time to hide out, regenerate, reset from daily troubles
i really like this
he kinda said it exactly the opposite after the beat switch...."evry night fucks evry day up. evry day patches the night up."......
bruh the decade ends in 25 days. New Beginnings indeed.
I’m kinda sad about it but, Everything must go. Also ima play that transition during New Years so we start out at a new beginning
10 days left bruv

That transition tho 💦
For real💙
Damn I think this is my theme for 2018. Need to get my shit together, need a new beginning.
Same

It's April, shits getting serious. It's never too late to start
@Mel Makonnen i made that decission on january 2017,and believe me it made my 2017,
Say that shit again !!!
that transition gives me goosebumps
New beginninnnnnnnnnnnngsoowwaaaaaaahhh...

I can’t explain how much my heart wants to explode with joy when frank comes on.

when i first started listening to this song, the beat switch used to give me chills everytime
tbh it still does.

My god this is an incredible video....why does this not have 1 million views! lets get it there...now!
This is a beautiful video. The imagery fits the song perfectly.
Shoutout to the video maker. Best unofficial video ever created

A Nismo. Frank definitely has taste man. This music video is... just amazing.. just the right vibe.. love the tunes
I lived in Hong Kong for a year and man, this video sends shivers down my spine. The song also captures the vibe of the nights in Hong Kong.
Nights vibin with no destination with your crush or love, be the best nights😭😭👌🏾❤
this makes me miss the city at night. oh how different things used to be
Is life supossed to look this beatiful?
Huge Frank Ocean fan and just super obsessed with the vibes of the video...truly well done.
“I’ll buzz you in just let me know when you outside.”
this might be the most accurate edit for a song like Nights
I've looked at it for 20 hours. It is beautiful
Thanks! I appreciate it
This song is a work of ART!!!!!!!! 😵😵😵😭😭😭😭
Nice job on the visuals dude. Very nice!
*THIS IS LIKE A QUALUUUUUDE* 🎶🎶

This is so dope. Great job on putting this together, Emilio.
Nights后半段那种意识流一般碎碎叨叨坦白自己心路历程，所思所感的vibe
就好像这个人就坐在你的对面 同你有一句没一句地聊着，吐露着自己的心声

fucckkkk, these visuals are killer
I’m in love with this, makes me feel so many things
You captured how I envisioned the song in my head perfectly. Good job
Hong Kong nights, awesome!
It’s Japan
It's Hong Kong and tokyo
Its earth
This (i guess fan) music video is the best I’ve ever seen, it fits perfectly with the song.
Man this......this is so fucking beautiful...
I feel the meaning of the day and night thing and the stairs. That lowkey could be in a museum or show.
I love those shots from Nightcrawler and Drive!
1:40 is the best night vibe and nostalgia
This made me shed a tear. Thank you
This song hit different at night
I'm not crying you're crying
“Nightcrawler and Drive “ is a great combination for a music video such as this
Also Good Time.
This song brings me such good memories. This man is an artist.
This is fucking amazing. Best vids help you see the song in a slightly different way. Props
I appreciate it my man!
This is like the best fan video in the history of fan videos...best!!! Cheers to the editor
