Just finished watching Nobody Wants This on Netflix. The first kiss scene in episode 2 was one of the most romantic I’ve seen in a long time. This song just makes it perfect.
Used to listen to this when I was at my new duty station in the navy, I was single and unsure of my future. Now I'm married, financially stable, and in my career. Thank God for this fantastic music.
This song is so inspiring. This song is saying goodbye to the past and stepping into new beginnings with excitement and hopefulness. This song embodies finally seeing yourself as the special person you are and feeling your wonderful uniqueness radiating off of you. This song makes me feel seen and my spirit heard.
So I hear Francis the first time because of his work with Chance and Cashmere Cat. I left it for a few weeks and now I'm going through and listening to everything. And I haven't even payed attention to the lyrics of this song yet, I just keep coming back for that instrumental. It is so moving to me. Nobody will probably ever read this but I had to leave a comment just in case...I see all the other comments about the video, which damn, it's cool, but this song, I love it
I was here before ''Nobody wants this'' but I'm really happy that this song was in the series, it means that Francis is still around and now has new fans! :D
"That's just love....I lived it twice." Man, that lyric hits hard. I've had two loves in my life, and I never stopped loving either of them. Had to move on from one, she wasn't right for me. Hardest thing I've ever done in my 45 years. It still hurts, but I'm lucky enough to have found someone better for me that I love deeply. Incredible song
That backflip at the end is undeniably impressive, but my favorite part is the entire lead-up to it, all the tiny movements perfectly synced and the tunnel of city buildings in perspective...man, the whole thing is just GORGEOUS 💜✨
Francis' sound is a whole lifestyle. It was such a blessing to see him performing and dancing around at the Sunday Service I took my family to. I remember yelling "that's Franciiiiis!" from the front row floor seats as he nonchalantly vibed and few people around us understood who this beautiful genius was. I couldn't dislike this music if I tried. I feel so passionately moved by his choreographies and sometimes like thereof. Haha. As I struggle through some mental health things currently, it has been a lifeline. Truly.
Jake Schreier directs a lot of his music videos and has this type of style. I find him really amazing at capturing so much in one take. Also he's their ex-keyboardist.
Lyrics Just give me information Give me information tell me everything Come see me on the phone ring Just give me the headphones turn up everything (Oh, yeah) If you see her out there Climbing a wall Trying to get away Tell her she can't escape Whole damn world is a cage Whole damn world is a cage If you see her out there Behind the wheel Driving getaway Oh god, I hope she escapes Whole damn world is a cage But that's just life I lived it twice I treat you right The way you taught me That's just life I lived it twice So I said goodnight Don't say it softly If you see her out there Behind the wheel Driving getaway Oh god, I hope she escapes Whole damn world is a cage But that's just life I lived it twice I treat you right The way you taught me That's just life I lived it twice So say goodnight Don't say it softly I lived it twice I treat you right The way you taught me That's just life I lived it twice Whole damn world is a cage Don't say it softly
My boyfriend dragged me to your set at bonnaroo a few years ago. This song came on and I immediately fell in love and transcended into a new dimension for a whole 3:36 mins +
Just watched the Netflix show that had this song...its beautiful...but a sad thing to watch I hope they get justice.....but I'm so glad that this song is real and I can now listen to all the songs..🖤 also if you have had a hard struggles and trama....I wish you healing 💚💚💚💚
Probably my favorite music video ever, if not in my top 3. The simplicity of the video lets it be interpreted in so many ways while in the city that I love and miss
I saw this song at the end of a nice RomCom on Netflix. It was their first kiss, and their last. I'm addicted. The kiss was MAGICAL! It's called, "Nobody Wants This."
reminded me of Mac’s interpretive coming out dance in that episode of it’s always sunny, it always makes me cry it’s so beautiful. Melanie’s dance and this song and the rain and her pain 💔❤️
Suzanna Eadie it’s cause of prism it’s this effect that Francis actually created Kanye uses it a lot and so does Justin Vernon (bon iver) the effect when used in low tones makes him sound like a genesis song but it does more like 22 by bon iver he uses it and it sounds like 100000 people are singing
Never heard this song until Dancing for the Devil, had to look it up immediately. Beautiful & gives me chills, a perfect song to wrap up the documentary.
so glad that I accidentally clicked on one of his songs 3days ago & now I'm confused on how I lived without this soul filling music he creates. lovin it
I used to act in shows with this guy when he was a wee baby boy. Young Actors Workshop in Richmond, CA. The level of talent then was genius levels. I am glad that is still the case.
you are a goldmine of emotion. your lyrics are so raw and yet the rest so polished. i'm compelled to listen over and over, to catch the nuances and words and differences in what you say and how you say it. thank you for this and for everything.
I can't handle this. Took me away, as soon as it began. Then he started speed walking... And then all of a sudden there was a back handspring back tuck. You're incredible.
I literally loop his videos. I have to to be romantically involved with his music, his moves and both put together.. not necessarily in that order but I'm so in love. 😭
Ok this is so damn weird , I fell asleep with my headphone watching Netflix , and this doc played and I didn’t wake up until I heard this song at 7 am , I jumped up to find it , weird
“It’s easy for me to get into that state where I feel like I’m already too old, and the touch is gone,” DUDE you don't realize how we need you to make music. Your work changed a lot of things in me.
Feels like dangling on the edge of the universe as your childhood replays in your subconscious while the big bang happens in hastened reverse infront of your eyes and everything explodes back into oblivion and all you can hear is this music in your head, because from where else can the sound travel through space rationally for this irrational concept?
Man. I'm APPLAUDING. I think you've just become my new favorite artist. I'm ASTONISHED. THIS IS MAGIC SOUND. I'm overwhelmed by these songs, man. Holy MOLY. I literally laughed and cried listening to May I Have This Dance. Dude. Let's be friends. Hahaha
I can agree, may I have this dance was the first song I listened to of his and I love it so much. Might end up doing a dance to the rest of the music 🙂
Math Davies I wish I could post the picture! He is so cool and I felt like he was as surprised as I was! I have the best picture with him. I felt like he was my brother and now I wish I would have bothered him more. Honestly.
Francis has literally changed my life! I did not have a favorite music artist until now!!! I heard he was in Minneapolis (this year) performing... unfortunately I could not go... and I literally bawled! Hope to meet him in person someday! And I hope he gets recognized for his AMAZING creations! Stay strong Francis and I promise you will Succeed -ur # 1 fan... Kat
this song gave me strength when my life got pretty dark a year back. I had just lost both my parents and was in a bad relationship, and this song pulled me back from the brink into creating art and chasing my dreams of living life as an artist and putting positivity back into the world. anyways... thank you Francis, my brother
Here because I've been a fan for 10 years and this song, and this video are absolute perfection. I don't care about the TV show, I have no idea what it is.
Just been introduced to Francis and lights via radio 1 with his song, may I have this dance!! Listening to his other songs I love how much he reminds me of Phil Collins!! Brilliant singer and I can't wait to hear more from him!!!!
Here because of that hot kiss from Nobody Wants This. Perfect scoring!
Yep!!!!! I forgot about this Jam, until I saw the scene
Same!
Yep
Just now. Very romantic 🥰
Ddue!!! Same thing
Whoever chose this song for the new show and the kissing scene needs a raise. And now this band has a new fan.
YEEEESSSS.
Same - I asked Google to tell me what song was playing and now I have my answer! Love it....
There's a striking resemblance to Phil Collins.
100%! same here!!! 🤩
Saw the kiss scene 10 seconds back
Couldn't have said it better myself! The song just added to the goosebump factor of that epic first kiss! 🥰
Who is here after "Nobody Wants This"?
Same😂
Here ❤❤❤❤👋🏾☺️
Bro.I'm here too😂
Yep! ❤
Yup. And now I hear this song as the soundtrack of my longing for a love like that.
This music will be a dopamine hit for the rest of my life after that kiss 😄❤️
Omg totally ☺️🥰
Right???
forreal!!
Totaaalll
I just basically said the EXACT same thing…every time I hear that particular part of the song I get all hot and flustered 😂😅🤤
Just finished watching Nobody Wants This on Netflix. The first kiss scene in episode 2 was one of the most romantic I’ve seen in a long time. This song just makes it perfect.
🥰😍take my breath away, make me feel a young woman, 💝for a moment.....
Yes that kiss made me realize I have no idea what a good kiss is like from personal experience. Holy sh!t.
Welcome new fans! Francis and and the Lights have been around for YEARS and so happy Netflix gave them this boost!!
Used to listen to this when I was at my new duty station in the navy, I was single and unsure of my future. Now I'm married, financially stable, and in my career. Thank God for this fantastic music.
I am now officially addicted to this song
This song is so inspiring. This song is saying goodbye to the past and stepping into new beginnings with excitement and hopefulness. This song embodies finally seeing yourself as the special person you are and feeling your wonderful uniqueness radiating off of you. This song makes me feel seen and my spirit heard.
I RELATE TO THIS DO DEEPLY!!! ❤❤❤
Word!
I feel called out
Its amazing how music is able to express this much and we all know EXACTLY the feeling you are talking about. Wild.
Pfffffff 🙄
Always come back for Francis. ❤ he sounds like a young Phil Collins
He really does!
That's so funny. My wife just said that. I thought sprinkled with a little Peter Gabriel too?
Definitely does 💯
when i heard this on Nobody Want This I thought this was a Phil Collin’s song. shocked it isn’t.
@@SonoftheAmericanRevolutionlove Peter Gabriel !
Sometimes you hear a song that makes you appreciate life, music and art so much. This is it.
Truth!
Here after watching “Nobody Wants This” on Netflix 😊
Same!
Me too I honestly LOVED the show so much
Me!! Can't wait for season 2
Same! ❤ @@Republican_barb

this is the most sonically pleasing song I've heard in years... and i haven't stopped listening since episode 2. 👀❤️
I just finished "Nobody Want This" on Netflix and this was the final song. Glad I found it here!! New fan.

I cried at the end.
It was awesome! It's based on a true story! 😊

Here after Nobody Wants This, last episode on Netflix. Great show. Love this song!!! 🙌🏻
So I hear Francis the first time because of his work with Chance and Cashmere Cat. I left it for a few weeks and now I'm going through and listening to everything. And I haven't even payed attention to the lyrics of this song yet, I just keep coming back for that instrumental. It is so moving to me.
Nobody will probably ever read this but I had to leave a comment just in case...I see all the other comments about the video, which damn, it's cool, but this song, I love it
The instrumental also speaks to me. My goodness. 😍
Sam _ u spelt paid wrong 😑🗺
It's the syncopation, man. It's perfect.
Oh man that final instrumental is like a religious experience for me. It's over way too quick
Francis is hitting a bit harder 5-6 years later. Every listen you pick up something new.
As a father and husband, his music makes me want to just be better. It's motivating in a serene and gentle way. I applaud his talent and creativity.
Couldn't of said it any better, bravo mia amica!! Music Matters!!!
Love the synthesiser parts in this track. wow!
yes i would like to know what the synthesized voice is saying!
I was here before ''Nobody wants this'' but I'm really happy that this song was in the series, it means that Francis is still around and now has new fans! :D
2024 who`s here
Songs like these have the rare potential to make moments special.
This song is having the moment you described, 5 years later
@@IDiggPattyMayonnaiseomg I just realised (after reading the second time) wow 🙌🏾🫶
SUCH Peter Gabriel Vibes!!! ❤
Yes, very much like Peter Gabriel!
Just finished 'nobody wants this'...this song hit me like a runaway train ❤
Those vocals at the beginning give me chills every time.
Hell, his vocals in general on this song are just fantastic.
"That's just love....I lived it twice."
Man, that lyric hits hard. I've had two loves in my life, and I never stopped loving either of them. Had to move on from one, she wasn't right for me. Hardest thing I've ever done in my 45 years.
It still hurts, but I'm lucky enough to have found someone better for me that I love deeply.
Incredible song
@@coda7994 you are lucky to have had two loves in your life.
@fooltosign I consider myself quite fortunate there, I don't want to downplay that at all
I think he said life but still applies ❤
@@roz0971
The lyric is for sure "life". Amazing song still.
There's something very charming about this man and his music.
``Nobody Wants This`` the perfect kiss
Love! the use of this song in the new Netflix show, Nobody Wants This..wish Francis would tour again, he's incredible in concert.
Who’s here after Nobody Wants This? The end scene 🔥
Me!✋
@@jenninscho1980and that first kiss…good freaking god that was 🤤🥵😅
That backflip at the end is undeniably impressive, but my favorite part is the entire lead-up to it, all the tiny movements perfectly synced and the tunnel of city buildings in perspective...man, the whole thing is just GORGEOUS 💜✨

As I struggle through some mental health things currently, it has been a lifeline. Truly.
I am getting all these good vibes from Francis and the lights, Great Music!!!!
I wish I would've gotten here on my own 7 years ago! Damn you Noah and Joanne and your 16 candles moment! #nobodywantsthis
the simplicity makes you pay attention to every detail. I love one take videos
Jake Schreier directs a lot of his music videos and has this type of style. I find him really amazing at capturing so much in one take. Also he's their ex-keyboardist.
I heard he's going to do a music video with low lights where he dances the whole time. Gonna be genius.
Darling It's Alright is one of my favorite music videos ever. That dance at the end, wow.
i first seen him on Jimmy Fallon as his musical guest with a little help from the Roots. Love to see him JumpAround!Wow!
Must have listened 50 times today. ❤
Whos here after Nobody wants this, such a beautiful Rom com with the best performers
I still keep coming back for this masterpiece
Your music lets you relax and escape reality for a while.
so true!!
Ian Quintanilla summarize well
Lyrics
Just give me information
Give me information tell me everything
Come see me on the phone ring
Just give me the headphones turn up everything
(Oh, yeah)
If you see her out there
Climbing a wall
Trying to get away
Tell her she can't escape
Whole damn world is a cage
Whole damn world is a cage
If you see her out there
Behind the wheel
Driving getaway
Oh god, I hope she escapes
Whole damn world is a cage
But that's just life
I lived it twice
I treat you right
The way you taught me
That's just life
I lived it twice
So I said goodnight
Don't say it softly
If you see her out there
Behind the wheel
Driving getaway
Oh god, I hope she escapes
Whole damn world is a cage
But that's just life
I lived it twice
I treat you right
The way you taught me
That's just life
I lived it twice
So say goodnight
Don't say it softly
I lived it twice
I treat you right
The way you taught me
That's just life
I lived it twice
Whole damn world is a cage
Don't say it softly
Here from "nobody wants this" September 2024. Great song!
Fell in love with Francis ever since the Chance concert
The director Jake is SO good at what he does. He makes every video reminiscent to your own experience.
I can’t believe I never heard of his songs before and now I’m obsessed
Welcome, grasshopper
Me too 😂😅
2024 and this music is still ahead of all the garbage out there. They’ll probably become famous like Picasso after we are long gone.
acting as if this ain't lumped in with the "[gbg] out there" 😂😂😂
F^*king perfection. The song and the tv series ❤
My boyfriend dragged me to your set at bonnaroo a few years ago. This song came on and I immediately fell in love and transcended into a new dimension for a whole 3:36 mins +
Started screaming when I heard this just now on the Netflix doc 😂
That’s FRANCIS!!!!
So happy, it’s way over due! *forehead kiss* 💋
Just watched the Netflix show that had this song...its beautiful...but a sad thing to watch I hope they get justice.....but I'm so glad that this song is real and I can now listen to all the songs..🖤 also if you have had a hard struggles and trama....I wish you healing 💚💚💚💚

The whole concept is so simple yet brilliant. I can't tell y'all enough how at ease this song made me feel. But I bet y'all feel it too.
What’s crazy is my sister and I used to play this song over and over on our way to work everyday in 2017 glad to see it making its come back!
I can't handle this. Took me away, as soon as it began. Then he started speed walking... And then all of a sudden there was a back handspring back tuck. You're incredible.

That walk is iconic

It's right out of Charlie Chaplin. (this is a good thing).

just when I thought you couldn't get any cooler.. that backflip is legendary
“It’s easy for me to get into that state where I feel like I’m already too old, and the touch is gone,” DUDE you don't realize how we need you to make music. Your work changed a lot of things in me.
I would take your work for 60 other years
Love how the cameraman at the end is like "...aight man, Ima head this way, see you tomorrow"
“Nobody Wants This.”
The best show is years
Funny how good music/art attracts good fans... these comments are pure positivity!
It'd be a shame if someone broke it.
gabelogan56 Agree! So good to read comments like these... We’re not alone my friend!
I agree! Great song/video. Glad I am not the only one. LOL

More of this show...and love this song
These videos make me extremely happy
Of course here after binge watching twice Nobody wants it. Obsessed!
Just discovered "Francis and the Lights". Music is wonderous. These videos are simple and mesmerizing, perfect!!
Feels like dangling on the edge of the universe as your childhood replays in your subconscious while the big bang happens in hastened reverse infront of your eyes and everything explodes back into oblivion and all you can hear is this music in your head, because from where else can the sound travel through space rationally for this irrational concept?
