I want him to get bigger but not to big because then there is going to be the bandwagons and it's going to be like bitch get the fuck away you are only here because other people like him.
The transition between the simple part and then goes into the ending was perfect, i think it's safe to say that we all agree here that Jon is a true god at music making. Beautiful!
"Simple And Sweet" [Verse 1:] Way before you came I was hollow, hollow, hollow Used to complicate now I'm alright, alright, I'm fine All I gotta do now is follow, follow, follow Used to complicate now I'm alright, alright, I'm fine [Chorus:] You don't need no big production The synth and just my voice is fine... Yeah You don't need to wear your makeup Oh na na No need to mess with God's design, you're just so simple and sweet You're just so simple and sweet You're just so simple and sweet You're just so simple and sweet, yeah, yeah, yeah Let's keep this simple and sweet [Verse 2:] Way before you came I was empty, empty, empty Used to complicate now I'm alright, alright, I'm fine All you gotta do now is tell me, tell me, tell me Used to complicate now I'm alright, alright, I'm fine [Chorus] [Verse 3/Outro:] But if things get complicated Don't worry we gonna take it slow But if things get complicated Don't worry we gonna take it slow We keep it simple and sweet Sing it out like...
Whoever disliked this video seriously does not realize how talented jon bellion is and is making a big mistake walking away from this extremely talented guy
Sonically, one THE best songs I've heard! Production is fun to listen to and vocals are on point. Everything is exactly where it should be. And holy crap that break!!
i used to listen to jon all the time like 5 years ago and just now remembered him and i couldn’t be more happy like this made my day when i found him again
I don't understand how this voice isn't bigger! It's so incredible! I want him to blow up but I enjoy listening to an underdog artist! Love this music!
His song All Time Low just hit the radio charts last week. its number 54 on top 100 atm and I heard him on Pandora today. Give the man a year he's gonna be blown up af.
If u listen to his documentary he talks how he likes making the music but still wants to keep it the fame part "simple and sweet" ha.... in a manner of speaking... right now I think he's fine sharing his music, doing shows, and making good money from it
Legit. I have so much respect for this guy. I am such a huge fan. I've seen all his making of videos and boy does it give you such a bigger appreciation. This man speaks music and has perfected his craft. I've never heard a song of his that I didn't like. And I also never hear of anyone who dislikes him. Anyone who doesn't like him, probably have never heard of him. Currently my favorite artist right now. Keep doing what you love Jon
People still calling him underrated? Guess y’all never heard his “Adult Swim” song bc it said: *”I never wanted to be famous, stop calling me underrated”*
I think there is much to be said for the simplicity of this fella's lyrics. First and foremost, it is congruent with the actual title of the track. Secondly, it conveys a raw, stream of consciousness. Finally, I think the production is as important in depicting this narrative as the lyrics are. Diggin' this. I'd pay money for The Definition. Hell, I'd go back and buy The Separation, too.
This man verifies my life. You can be a Christian and lead a different life. This you can only serve 2 masters is bs. I can walk in the dark and carry MY light. Thank you Jon.
Whe I want him to be successful and popular, I don’t want him to be corrupted. He’s perfectly underrated. Not too much to where we don’t know him, but enough to where his music feels special and like real art. Not commercialized
While I love this song and it's one of my favorites by Jon I still find it ironic how he's talking about how she doesn't have to wear no make-up but still, in the video, both girls that appear have an insane amount of make-up on them
I think he isn't speaking about a girl as he is using her more as a metaphor for his music. "simple and sweet, no make up, no big production" the first part doesn't really have that much production to it and it's mainly the same melody whereas the second part "get's complicated" and punches u in the face with that one of a kind beat (metaphorically speaking) :)
I think he's addressing the fact that a lot of people put on makeup and are guarded (like the girls in the video wearing heavy make up and having weapons), when in reality they don't need to be hide behind all of the theatrics. They can put themselves out there and still be ok. But if things get complicated because then they think they're vulnerable, he's saying not to panic and put up those walls again, but rather be calm, take it slow, and then you'll be able to get through it.
Seb I always like to think its about the beat he made through out the song because the beat was simple and nice and slow and when he says u don't need to wear your make up don't need to mess with Gods design I think he means we don't need to mess with the beat its already perfect
I love this so much. Especially that switch up towards the end, when that hit I'm like "now this is the Jon Bellion I know!" And had the biggest smile on my face / bobbing my head lol. This entire video is perfect.
this was one of the first jon bellion songs i heard almost a year ago, and it's still one of the best songs i've ever heard. every time i hear the breakdown, i get chills. every single time.
He is mesmerizing. He pulls you in with the way he sings so softly and then the ending is fun :) Love his style and the modern hipster style direction a lot of music is going today, don't know what genre it is called exactly but it is very nice
Music for the pure joy of music and art. The true conveyance of emotion. This song may be in my top 5 of all time. Gets me every time. Absolute fire Mr. Bellion!
So happy for you, Jon. Your talent and drive are paying huge dividends. Behind the scenes songwriting for talented artists seems to suit you well. I miss your solo work (it's all incredible, seriously) but it's so lovely to listen to the radio and just know by the sound that you had your hand in a song (Bieber's "Ghosts" comes to mind).
Thank you for helping those that may not have the strength to find the words that they want to sing, while dancing in the kitchen! Or having helping hands in prayer! Both are necessities in life. But could be combined. Lol thank you For so many of your songs/ words that have spoken to me and I’ve shared with others that needed or Rather wanted to head them. I am thankful for your artistry. God bless you!
Still my favorite song by him, it's so soothing in the first part and the second part punches you in the face. Great mixture of feelings and emotions, that's why I love music and especially Jon's music, he understands how rhythm and the pacing expresses different powerful meanings. What an incredible, under-rated artist Jon is. The only complaint about this song is that it's too short, could somebody extend it by a minute or two?
I was waiting and I knew he'd do a switch up. I think I listen to too much Jon Bellion.. Called that ending before it happened :3 That transition was amazing
Back in 2014, when you released Munny Right you were smaller and under rated, over these past years I'm so happy that you finally blew up all over I hear you on the radio with your songs now as well. "Don't drown in luxury" no matter what, your music is amazing and original and so creative Jon. Keep this up man I love you and your music, been listening to you for a long time now and plan on staying ❤️ honestly bless your heart bro thank you so much for this
I'm always looking forward to new songs from you. You make the sickest beats and melodies that I have ever heard! Keep doing what you do and one day everyone will see that you are one of the greats.
Such an underrated artist. He deserves more
IKR
+Corey Thomas He likes being small
yeah he said he was fine with how life was now
Well that's good then ^
I want him to get bigger but not to big because then there is going to be the bandwagons and it's going to be like bitch get the fuck away you are only here because other people like him.
The transition between the simple part and then goes into the ending was perfect, i think it's safe to say that we all agree here that Jon is a true god at music making. Beautiful!
And i forgot to say, the video production was INCREDIBLE.
Jon Bellion went from simple, to sweet.
I think you are banq on with that :D
music is good so cool make more songs please
ayy yo wagwan piffting let me get your bbm
I love how so many of his songs have this major switch in the overall sound like midway through
DirtyDishes Same here pal😏
Im not gay wtf XD
yeah that key change is killer
jus like JT right?
DirtyDishes Has
I represent the millions of Nigerians who don't even talk about how much we enjoy and love @JonBellion
This is facts my bro. I still keep coming back'
"Simple And Sweet"
[Verse 1:]
Way before you came I was hollow, hollow, hollow
Used to complicate now I'm alright, alright, I'm fine
All I gotta do now is follow, follow, follow
Used to complicate now I'm alright, alright, I'm fine
[Chorus:]
You don't need no big production
The synth and just my voice is fine... Yeah
You don't need to wear your makeup
Oh na na
No need to mess with God's design, you're just so simple and sweet
You're just so simple and sweet
You're just so simple and sweet
You're just so simple and sweet, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's keep this simple and sweet
[Verse 2:]
Way before you came I was empty, empty, empty
Used to complicate now I'm alright, alright, I'm fine
All you gotta do now is tell me, tell me, tell me
Used to complicate now I'm alright, alright, I'm fine
[Chorus]
[Verse 3/Outro:]
But if things get complicated
Don't worry we gonna take it slow
But if things get complicated
Don't worry we gonna take it slow
We keep it simple and sweet
Sing it out like...
❤❤❤
If this song was even 2 minutes longer, life would be incredible
But then it wouldn't be simple then xD
+Maria Chirokova amazing response!! lol love it
+Maria Chirokova lol😂😂😂
I guess it really is simple and sweet...
eddievangraham the ending needs to be longer
Whoever disliked this video seriously does not realize how talented jon bellion is and is making a big mistake walking away from this extremely talented guy
where has he been?
+Obito IIV making the beautiful mind album
Blake Sanders it drops this summer I cannot wait
+Richie Mathew you probably one of em, jkjkjk😂i getchu thoe
Preach!! ♥♥
I love the symbolism. SIMPLE and sweet, is voice and only synths. Then, he says, “if things get COMPLICATED,” and he adds drums and all.
One of my favorite Jon songs. Underrated for sure.
WHEN THAT BEAT DROPS FUCKING SLAY ME
+Micah Mclemore get em getemmm

The beat change made my head turn.....Like What?!

Sonically, one THE best songs I've heard! Production is fun to listen to and vocals are on point. Everything is exactly where it should be. And holy crap that break!!
so inspiring for all the other artists out there. we all definitely gotta step up game to reach these standards
i agree 100%

This will hit 8 years this August, there is no way. One of the best songs this man has created.
10 years now
i used to listen to jon all the time like 5 years ago and just now remembered him and i couldn’t be more happy like this made my day when i found him again
Just went through exact same thing. I'm finding so many new favorite songs this time around. Loving it
Same
the breakdown at the end of this song is dope
I don't understand how this voice isn't bigger! It's so incredible! I want him to blow up but I enjoy listening to an underdog artist! Love this music!

Darth Puma his song all time low is actually blowing up finally!
Darth Puma Jon himself and a lot of fans don't want him to become really famous. He'll keep it simple and sweet
me too
i love this song
***** no
Why so many of you gaming boys listen to Jon?
Amy Price jaja FaZe members and clans
Obey Woke can you explain why you spin in that game on your video haha so confused 😃
Amy Price because it's cool and fun doing it while we in a group of friends we like Jon bellion he's an awesome artist

Tootdaddy17 I agree I couldn't have put it better myself
Jacob Foster I know this. And he only wrote the hook to my knowledge
I heard he also wrote Trumpets by Jayson Durlo.
Pappa Stalin ... I heard (and also know) about that too. That song is just too good!
Joel Misasa also made the beat... produced
People still calling him underrated? Guess y’all never heard his “Adult Swim” song bc it said:
*”I never wanted to be famous, stop calling me underrated”*
Finally someone who says it!
👏🏽👏🏽
most of the comments however are from before Adult Swim came out
I love how soft your voice is, but the music video shows you yelling it. That's awesome.
I think there is much to be said for the simplicity of this fella's lyrics. First and foremost, it is congruent with the actual title of the track. Secondly, it conveys a raw, stream of consciousness. Finally, I think the production is as important in depicting this narrative as the lyrics are. Diggin' this.
I'd pay money for The Definition. Hell, I'd go back and buy The Separation, too.
So would I. For an artist like him I'd actually pay more than 30$.

HOLY SHIT HOW DO YOU PRODUCE SO DAMN GODLY
This man verifies my life. You can be a Christian and lead a different life. This you can only serve 2 masters is bs. I can walk in the dark and carry MY light. Thank you Jon.
Whe I want him to be successful and popular, I don’t want him to be corrupted. He’s perfectly underrated. Not too much to where we don’t know him, but enough to where his music feels special and like real art. Not commercialized
his music is just like a massage to my ears. hnggggggg sooo good!

I wasn't ready to the last part. That was just... amazing!
I smile so much when I listen to his music because everything is just so unexpected it's ugh I can't explain the chills
Gosh, he is just too awesome. A duet with Johnny Drille from Nigeria will be amazing!
Gawd he is just SOOOOO--- amazing. I'm straight obsessed with this man!!
The talent this guy has is so unbelievable. such an inspiration to myself personally and I'm sure many others out there. Absolutely Amazing.
time to Rome
I love this so much. Especially that switch up towards the end, when that hit I'm like "now this is the Jon Bellion I know!" And had the biggest smile on my face / bobbing my head lol. This entire video is perfect.
That tribal sound "nay yay yay" in between each "You're just so simple and sweet" is heavenly and soooo creative!!!
9 years and I still vibe to this
man when that last part hit its like hitting the blunt and saying i dont feel shit and then...... BOOM!

Jon is one of the greatest artists today... and a god on the production tip!
That ending man! Goes from 0 to 100 real quick! His songs are so good!

He is mesmerizing. He pulls you in with the way he sings so softly and then the ending is fun :) Love his style and the modern hipster style direction a lot of music is going today, don't know what genre it is called exactly but it is very nice
In case any of you were wondering what a “musical genius “ looks like , this is it!🔥
RUclips, what the hell. I have been listening to Jon Bellion for the last 4 years, and only NOW do you inform me of this masterpiece!?!?!?!?!?
This guy wrote songs for 3 "big artists". Lyrically he is amazing.
Only lyrics???
Monster from eminem and rihanna is written by him
Gijs Van Esch eeuuyy...als hij naar NL komt laat t me weten!! :D
Haha is goed doe ik zeker :)
Gijs Van Esch beter hij komt
Logic and Bellion, The future of music
Fuck you
Ur soo right!
Hell yes
I have yet to see a negative/rude comment on any of Jon's videos and that honestly makes me so happy because he doesn't deserve any hate :)
i always cry listening to his songs that when the f i will make songs like pure from heart, like how he feels inside he put it out, its unexplainable
Music for the pure joy of music and art. The true conveyance of emotion. This song may be in my top 5 of all time. Gets me every time. Absolute fire Mr. Bellion!
Best Artist in the game right now. And I'm not just saying that. Jon Bellion is the future. Number one fan right here!
"But if things get complicateeeeeeeeed!" ♥
Oh yessss best part

I just love the way he plays with the sounds_the beats_the vocal_the touch_passionate
Musical genius. We will look back on his songs and think of him as one of the greats.
you are the definition of an artist man....never stop. keep creating.

Bellion and Logic need to collab!!!

FINALLY. i was stuck with a bunch of old music for about a month now and i finally found new music!
Jesus fucking Christ "But if things get complicated" is the best part!!!!!
Back in 2014, when you released Munny Right you were smaller and under rated, over these past years I'm so happy that you finally blew up all over I hear you on the radio with your songs now as well.

Because it was showing the difference between dark and light
yup yup
What a version!!! From African oriental in your live session to this outstanding boom!! You are a talent.

+Jake Miller Oh I love hipsters.
One day, I shall grow a beard like the one of the great, Jon Bellion
I love the switch at the end.
I love the change in the music
Liked and saved b4 I heard the whole song. When the beat dropped, I was like NO REGRETS THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!
This gets better every time I listen to it. Amazing.
unlike other artists songs his make since like he should be wayyyyyy more famous then some of the people out there who sing about drugs and stuff

Tbh Jon does sing about drugs and sex but in a much more subtle way than other artists.

Jon Bellion is a God who ever clicked dislike missed out on a upcoming artist man. He's so lit
Draco He is no god but he is a extremly good musician
Toxic Gaming He is a God though
I'm always looking forward to new songs from you. You make the sickest beats and melodies that I have ever heard! Keep doing what you do and one day everyone will see that you are one of the greats.
Just got my phone so happy my first artist to sub to was Jon Bellion. This man doesn't even deserve to be called a human. He's a gift
The metaphors and symbols in this music video are beautiful. I notice more with every time I watch.
