This song is so powerful. Just listen to the words and the message behind it. And he is so right about people and society. The way things go. Makes me cry when I hear, "you're my brother, but your eyes are cold. You're my sister but your womb is bare." I do bet my mother would be proud of me but what does that really matter if I'm part of the problem.
This song was actually made for Tarantino's Django Unchained, and this one was talking about the sufferings his black brothers and sisters had to endure. It would make a lot of sense reading again the lyrics. It could also be interpreted as you did, and that diversity of perspective makes this song better.
but music can be interpreted however the listener wants... That's the whole reason it exist, well it plays a major part. Bazazam's interpretation does have something to do with it, or could.
This song was written for Django Unchained but was rejected by Quentin Tarantino because none of the scenes in the movie could carry such a powerful tune without being overpowering over the scene itself.
Wiseman closes mouth Madman closes fist Young man shows his age Judge man named it sin Bad man don' exist no No evil man exists Good man don't exist no No righteous man exists Sad man cannot cry in place where man can see Never witnessed father weep This old man thought it weak But strong man don't exist No undying man exists Weak man don't exist no Just flesh and blood exists But your mother would be proud of you I bet your mother would be proud of you The beast will crawl this earth Then fall in the dirt to feed the crows They'll rip apart his flesh 'Til all that's left is glorious bone So you'll bury your own Too vain You saw it unfold What you know And you claimed all you could hold Until death did you part from the mess you made I bet your mother would be proud of you I bet your mother would be proud of you Primate sharpens tool To survive and thrive in the jungle Maybe hearts were made to pump blood Maybe lungs were made for flood I won't blunt my blade for cut these chains Rather let my limbs be dragged through mud You're my brother but your eyes are cold You're my sister but your womb is bare I bet our mother would be proud of you I bet our mother would be proud of you Bad man don't exist No evil man exists I know good man don't exist No righteous man exists Strong man don't exist No undying man exists Weak man don't exist No just flesh and blood exists
my mom passed away when I was 9. im 15 right now. this song is my fav song of all time. Frank ocean is my fav artist but this songs makes me cry every time.
I'm crying too ..I follow him around..once in a while I come back to RUclips and play all his lives again while searching for new ones..he doesn't just release songs or albums anyhow😣😣😆
I revisit this video regularly and hope it never gets taken down or deleted.. Saw Frank live back in 2013, he ended all his shows with this track I'm guessing(saw him in Amsterdam). Seeing Frank live performing Channel Orange was magical enough on its own, but I did not know this song back then. I was just in awe for five minutes straight, the beauty of it reached my core. Best concert I've ever been to, and I am so incredibly sad that he never did a Chanel tour through Europe. What I would give to see this man live again
I don’t know why but this song has always made me feel like he was talking about his little brother. So now, hearing it after Ryan’s death hits really different for me.
Just found this song finally watching Southpaw about a month ago. Haven't been able to get it out of my head since. Thank you for this live performance, even more moving than the studio recording. You've made a 55-yr-old guy cry, and it feels healing.
Here 9 years later still crying for the beauty of this performance a once in a lifetime artist I get to witness during my trip on this rock, forever grateful
Frank always has the most beautiful instrumentals- not that his voice needs any accompaniment but Frank is the most talented singer of our generation. 💕
It’s my dream to see Frank Ocean perform live.. I’d have to bring boxes of tissues tho.. Cuz if watching this already gets me emotional af, I can’t imagine what it would be like if I were there in person 😭😭😭
Saw him in LA at Fyf fest and it’ll always be one of the best concerts I’ve witnessed. Frank is unreal live. Sad Coachella went the way it did, they missed out.

+bazazam you mean Django right? lmfao
+Danea Ford i think he is talking that the mother nature,that is the earth will be grateful that we existed even tho...whatever whatever...
+bazazam has nothing to do with that. He wrote it for Django but not because of black suffrage but for his views on life.

I wish so badly I would’ve gotten to see him in concert … Frank is such a beautiful talent it’s unreal
All I want is to c him in concert one time.. that’s it
his vocals alone have me in tears. this song has hit me in ways...just wow.
right
Those vocals... insane
The 🐐…always so on point live
Bro from the future

Nah fr?
Wiseman closes mouth
Madman closes fist
Young man shows his age
Judge man named it sin
Bad man don' exist no
No evil man exists
Good man don't exist no
No righteous man exists
Sad man cannot cry in place where man can see
Never witnessed father weep
This old man thought it weak
But strong man don't exist
No undying man exists
Weak man don't exist no
Just flesh and blood exists
But your mother would be proud of you
I bet your mother would be proud of you
The beast will crawl this earth
Then fall in the dirt to feed the crows
They'll rip apart his flesh
'Til all that's left is glorious bone
So you'll bury your own
Too vain
You saw it unfold
What you know
And you claimed all you could hold
Until death did you part from the mess you made
I bet your mother would be proud of you
I bet your mother would be proud of you
Primate sharpens tool
To survive and thrive in the jungle
Maybe hearts were made to pump blood
Maybe lungs were made for flood
I won't blunt my blade for cut these chains
Rather let my limbs be dragged through mud
You're my brother but your eyes are cold
You're my sister but your womb is bare
I bet our mother would be proud of you
I bet our mother would be proud of you
Bad man don't exist
No evil man exists
I know good man don't exist
No righteous man exists
Strong man don't exist
No undying man exists
Weak man don't exist
No just flesh and blood exists
Love people like you 💪🏾
My girlfriend loved frank ocean. The first night we hung out she played me this song. Rest easy baby
May she rest in peace ❤️ I’m so sorry for your loss
“Never witness father weep, his old man thought it weak” that part hits so hard for me
my mom passed away when I was 9. im 15 right now. this song is my fav song of all time. Frank ocean is my fav artist but this songs makes me cry every time.
i love u i hope ur doing okay today, grief is forever but she’s looking right over to make sure ur okay, ur not alone shes there with you
This HAS to be one of the top 3 most beautifully written songs of ALL TIME 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why do I find a new masterpiece of Frank Ocean each year around the same time
Last year it was Rushes, Higgs and Cayendo
@@noahnoah7360Rushes is fucking beautiful favourite song ever
it’s like a pulse check… brings me back in when monotony subtly takes over
I’m really late... but music never expires right? This song is just so beautiful. What a performance, brought a tear to my eye.
Never too late. Lotta people still coming here for the first time.
@@aplai-hokkharshandi1613 i have to thank drake for presenting me this masterpiece
0.31 seconds and all the cheers and screams respectfully stop to let one of the most phenomenal artists of our generation share a masterpiece.
Frankly amazing
This comment wins
i havent heard this song in like 7 years, why am i crying
I'm crying too ..I follow him around..once in a while I come back to RUclips and play all his lives again while searching for new ones..he doesn't just release songs or albums anyhow😣😣😆
best live performance hands down
Its right next to J.Cole - Be Free and Kanyes - Pinocchio Story all amazing live performances. So much emotion.
Dustin Hansen you cant compare this magic to Kanyes fakeass robot voice ..
LikelyLeikin lol but I did tho.
maybe j.cole not kanye
i envy the people who got to see this man live.
Incredibly sad song, man.
opposite
@@Novaxtheartiste bittersweet song so both
I love him. I just love him. That voice moves me.
Anyone else cry watching him perform? I literally do every time. I feel a soul connection with him it’s crazy. No one will ever top this man

Screen record just in case ❤
@@cryolockdown forever sickeningly jealous of you. And those that saw him live.
I love this man in a way that isn’t human
Me too, not to mention the song is the end of the world
Damn, i did not know that frank could make this such a beautiful poem, hes literally a true lyricist
I Just heard Frank Ocean sing part of this song Wiseman @end of a fantastic movie, "SOUTHPAW" starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
T'was beautiful.
je découvre Frank Ocean et j'adoooore. je trouve qu'avec les effets il a un peu la voix de Prince.
진짜 진짜 좋아하는 라이브...
so much raw emotion in his voice
Its even better live. even now this song affects me so much. I love him. He writes beautifully
Makes me cry...especially with the things that happened in Paris. Thanks Frank
This version is much better than the studio version
Agreed!
Naaaaaah
True thing
Cap
No way.
I’m balling my eyes out right now listening from a screen, I can only imagine how I would’ve acted if I was actually there.
I don’t know why but this song has always made me feel like he was talking about his little brother. So now, hearing it after Ryan’s death hits really different for me.
One of my favorite Frank Ocean classics 🫶🏻
Still extremely powerful very underrated frank track
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Thank you Frank Ocean for your amazing music. One of the best musicians of this generation.

Only a few can sound exactly like their albums and not be just a product but actually have talent. Miguel, frank, Bruno, Abel to name a few fr
omg what a talent, what a blessing he has. he must feel so happy to make this kind of music. the lyrics are incredible
It doesn’t matter how much time has passed I’m still in the same place looking for comfort in this song and the past..
I listen to this almost daily I can't thank you enough for the upload. Frank is someone special. More people need to hear this.
It’s my dream to see Frank Ocean perform live.. I’d have to bring boxes of tissues tho.. Cuz if watching this already gets me emotional af, I can’t imagine what it would be like if I were there in person 😭😭😭

Nunca me cansare de escucharlo, su canto es tan poderoso que no necesita autotune, para perfeccionarlo, porque ya de por si es perfecto
This is just beautiful. Simply beautiful.
Frank built different with that voice, need that new album 🤣

Kudos to the crowd for giving him space to sing his heart out, instead of them screaming the lyrics.
