I don't even know how the hell I found Banks, but boy I'm glad I did. There's no other singer or band that makes me feel like she does. It just touches me so personally, in a place that I shield away from everyone (or rather shield everyone away from it), kind of in my secret personality. Hope she has a long and successful career ahead of her!
+JcGross A friend of mine just introduced me to this song and this girl...After so many years she still gets me like we've never lost touch! The parts I've hidden are now open and exposed and because of this song I am ok with that..
+sorrowsmiles13 that's beautiful i'm glad that you were able to express it out. you said it perfectly. yeah we should be okay with that, it helps us heal when we face those things we hide.
I found this song 4 years ago and I STILL listen to it all the time. It’s brand new every time. It’s timeless. A treasure. Thank you BANKS for your continuous artistry. Love, a fan- forever.
Jillian has grown so much in these years: The maturity in her voice, the quality of the lyrics and her music. But that's just the way she's been since 2014. She has been always a global treasure.
Banks, you have never left my music list. I went through so much pain, healing and strength with this album. Can’t believe it’s 8 years old. I’ve been out of that old relationship 2 years now, and I still feel this heavily. Bless you!!
I've known this song for over a year because it's fucking amazing and depicts the eventful progression of soft emotion to and explosion of frustration so well. BANKS is phenomenally talented. Whoever this "pole dancer" is that made this song all that more known, props to her.
I honestly find Banks to be one of the most beautiful humans both spiritually and physically. Like I just want to fall in love with her and love her forever. I don't even know her, and maybe we wouldn't get along, but I can just sense something magical abuot her. She's incredible.
I hope she gives a major shoutout to that chick pole dancing on facebook because I instantly picked up this album after hearing this track. Banks has my vote so far for R&B album of the year. I didnt feel the need to skip one track. Amazing album and great production.
Why would she shoutout the pole dancer plenty of people knew and loved this song before her haha who cares about how you discovered it. That's u dude. Anyways I agree about album of the year although FKA twigs and the weeknd were also really great
Gabby Port i would have never know about this artists music if it wasnt for the bad ass dancer..she is wonderfully talanted and interpreted banks beautifully and tastefully expressed.
That moment when someone you've been supporting from day one makes their dreams come true and you're just marveling at her raw talent and grace😊 she's my idol, since 2013😀 Jillian Banks, you're finally here!!!!!!😀
I found her at a time when I started to awaken to my Goddess self. It is a pleasure to sit still and hear your innerself in lyrics, but it is beautiful to see yourself in another. She is dynamic. I am dynamic, and that makes us powerful! Cheers to the Divine Feminine magical❤
Witchcraft! Man, driving into Vegas at 102 mph from L.A. with this song playing just beyond the point of too loud at 1 A.M. in the morning is fucking possessive! Seeing amidst all the blackness the city explode into view is incredible. What a magical memory. Everyone drives way too fast into Vegas. I was the slow one mind you...
I adore this song, due to the lovely and mental meaning beyond the surface. It is incredibly deep and ear-catching, the lyrics are beautiful and they have a healthy meaning, if I can call it like that. I actually find myself in all her songs, because they are life-related and they even catch my soul, I love her so much :) Her songs are pure gold and pure intelligence!
Mii?!.... sa ai un inceput de saptamana cat mai frumos , linistit si lipsit de orice griji :*.... multumesc mult! :((.... fiecare minut e o alinare pentru mine! :((.... te iubesc Mihaela :*
I started listening to her exactly 3 days ago an I've already listened to all her albums and currently watching all her music video. Can someone help me. I can't stop. I dont know what I am going to do when I've listened and and watched everything she's realised.
I remember listening to this with my first love 6 or 7 years ago. Him intruducing me to banks, was one of the first impressions. Wish him all the best.
Lyrics: But it's all the same I could have foreseen That you would act like you are Oh so cool you seem Blending with that scene Wearing what you think is hard I can see you struggling Boy, don't hurt your brain Thinking what you're gonna say Cause everything's a game Always trying to calculate Trying to look smart but not too smart To threaten anything they say But it's all the same I could have foreseen That you would act like you are Oh so cool you seem Blending with that scene Wearing what you think is hard I can see you struggling Boy, don't hurt your brain Thinking what you're gonna say Cause everything's a game Always trying to calculate Trying to look smart but not too smart To threaten everything they say
She is actually a pretty good songstress in terms of making pop that actually isn't lyrically meaningless or vapid. The only thing that holds her back from a career writing for big artists is actually a good quality: the distinctive, haunting sound of her music.
Okay when I first listened to this song, which is a couple of years ago. Maybe 2014 idk. I didn't know much about her lyrics but the melody and the singing got me this feeling --- It's just perfect for a dark fantasy world AND I would like to live in that world forever. The emotion in her voice is intense!
I have been listening to this song for years. Whenever I get new headphones this is one of the first songs I listen to because it is so dynamic and the fucking bass is incredible. Banks Brain for the win.
She reminds me similar to Lykke Li, Lorde, Marina and the Diamonds, Ellie Goulding, Florence and the Machine, Little Dragon, Phantogram kind of style; she so awesome. Love this girl.
Jordan McDonald I'm with you, all these youngster are only into these rat infected artist like Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, 1D, etc., I prefered these singers who are not well known like her.
***** I agree with both of ya'll. The generation of today has no idea what's real music. I'm in love with underground artists, they're are the best...and secretly unstoppable.
Banks is my everything. Her producers know what they are doing, and her lyrics and voice is just hauntingly beautiful. Keep it up gurl. you going places :)
Soren High sent me here years ago with her amazing pole dance routine... been hooked on her ever since. Glad to see that shows in the U.S are using her songs. Her concept of music is pure and amazing ❤️😩❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
doar treizeci de minute din programul de dimineata si am reusit sa ajung si sa ma asez pe banca (h)... ce zi extraordinara! :((... Mii?!:((... ingerul meu scump si drag :((... te iubesc! :((... ai grija de tine te rog :((...
success should not be judged by the amount of views. An artist staying true to themselves and their music is worth more than a singer with the right tactics and budget to please the masses.
Just started listening to BANKS thru her albums the altar and goddess and this song is absolutely the best song she ever created! I stumbled upon BANKS when listening to Lykke Li, Grimes, Purity Ring and Broods, any other suggestions of music like this?
!!:((... un opt martie cat mai frumos Mihaela! :((... nici un gunoi, nimic toxic sa nu te mai atinga niciodata! :((... multumesc pentru tot ceea ce esti!:((.... ingerul meu scump si drag!:((... te iubesc :((...
Best song on her debut, hands down 👏🏽👏🏽 also one of my favorite songs of all time. She sounds so passionate about what she’s singing & her voice is so soulful & eclectic & INTENSE.... UGH IM OBSESSED WITH HER!! 😍😫 I wish she did this on her ‘III’ tour tbh but her setlist was amazing nonetheless
Like fallen leaves dancing in the wind, a heart that doesn't clear up is like the devil's whisper that will come someday.
I don't even know how the hell I found Banks, but boy I'm glad I did. There's no other singer or band that makes me feel like she does. It just touches me so personally, in a place that I shield away from everyone (or rather shield everyone away from it), kind of in my secret personality.

I heard her song called Waiting Game playing in the originals and I just had to get it
I was watching the victoria secret fashion show and they played Waiting Game and i fell in love from there! ❤❤❤
Yes!! She gets me all up in my feels!!
I found this song 4 years ago and I STILL listen to it all the time. It’s brand new every time. It’s timeless. A treasure. Thank you BANKS for your continuous artistry. Love, a fan- forever.
So it’s been a year and I’m still here 😌 no surprise. 🖤
Same
I was like 15 when this came out. Crazy good song!
🧠
I gotta thank that amazing dancer for using this track in her video, this got me hooked!
Me too lol
Same here
Same here 😂
facebook.com/video.php?v=730803910325185
Same here ^^
Even after five years, Brain is still easily one of my top three favorite songs. BANKS, you're wonderful!
Whats your 1 and 2? Just curious. You have good taste
@@moonlitet I’m a big fan of Welcome Home by Radical Face and Cosmic Love by Florence&TheMachine.
Heard this song again for the first time in years. Still as great as I remember
Jillian has grown so much in these years: The maturity in her voice, the quality of the lyrics and her music. But that's just the way she's been since 2014. She has been always a global treasure.
❤🧠
Ok she needs to drop another album soon because I can't get enough of her music. I absolutely love her sound, she's great.
Yeh she getting ready to release a new album soon!
+ProMarketing! tots!
+Soccer Mad BELIEVE NEW EP CALLED LONDON DROPS WITHIN A FEW WEEKS!
Christopher CJX Joseph She already released her London EP lol
+ProMarketing! ????
Probably the most sensual song I've ever heard... The beat, the tempo, the voice... Powerful song
My wife introduced me to this song. One of the many reasons why I love her is her taste in music.
LITERALLY ALL OF HER MUSIC VIDS ARE SO GORGEOUS
totally agree!! these high quality productions and perfect editing gives me the chills
+Cooc Lidoo yessssssssssss 😝😝😝😝😝
Yaasss
❤
Like fine wine, just keeps getting better with age on it .
She's so melancholic. I love when her music hits that spot of sadness I feel. Really makes what I'm feeling valid and relayable through music
THIS
Im back 8 yrs later & rhis song WILL ALWAYS be a vibe 🥹 she need her flowers for this masterpiece 🌹🌷🪻💐
😈💀🧕🌺🌋
This is visual magic. Like I feel like I'm watching a spell being cast through the use of vague images and arm movements and it's amazing
This was the comment I was looking for, somebody tell me more about how the imagery is created.
This is the song that first introduced to Banks. ❤❤
Will forever be in my heart. I love this artist.
Banks, you have never left my music list. I went through so much pain, healing and strength with this album. Can’t believe it’s 8 years old. I’ve been out of that old relationship 2 years now, and I still feel this heavily. Bless you!!

rockwjz well put...
I hope she gives a major shoutout to that chick pole dancing on facebook because I instantly picked up this album after hearing this track. Banks has my vote so far for R&B album of the year. I didnt feel the need to skip one track. Amazing album and great production.
She's alternative not r&b but yes the album is great!
Why would she shoutout the pole dancer plenty of people knew and loved this song before her haha who cares about how you discovered it. That's u dude. Anyways I agree about album of the year although FKA twigs and the weeknd were also really great
Gabby Port Chill out if you cared to notice a lot of people have commented on the pole dancer and then begin brought to this video alot.
Gabby Port i would have never know about this artists music if it wasnt for the bad ass dancer..she is wonderfully talanted and interpreted banks beautifully and tastefully expressed.
❤👀
One of the most sensual and intense songs I've ever heard
Omg......g
Yaaaassss!!!
That's an interesting take, I wouldn't go that far but she's the bomb fo sure
I agree. Most her vids are, and I love to work out in them, and do my dance work outside puts me in a state of mind.
totally!
Lord Banks has blessed us with this iconic gospel hymn
Wow this is great to listen while you drive in a dark night!
yes, it really is, down a dark middle of nowhere road. :D
i think that will be great too!
❤
That moment when someone you've been supporting from day one makes their dreams come true and you're just marveling at her raw talent and grace😊 she's my idol, since 2013😀 Jillian Banks, you're finally here!!!!!!😀
13 verses.
That's all she needed to make this MASTERPIECE.
13.
Queen of songwriting parsimony.
This song is so comforting, yet eery, yet beautiful. I've been listening to it for awhile now. Seriously my favorite by her.
Send this song to the the radio stations worldwide,so it can destroy some musical careers! :D
👁️👤🧠🧠👄
I found her at a time when I started to awaken to my Goddess self. It is a pleasure to sit still and hear your innerself in lyrics, but it is beautiful to see yourself in another. She is dynamic. I am dynamic, and that makes us powerful! Cheers to the Divine Feminine magical❤
I saw a pole dancer on my Facebook page smoking a bong and dancing to this song and I'm obsessed with this song.
Me too. She was beautiful.
Me too for facebook!! I like this song
Her name is Soren High
I saw it too. Thats why i looked this song up. She did a good job tho.
Chosen Light Awesome! Really great job she do. Thx
The production on this track is sensational!
Witchcraft!
Man, driving into Vegas at 102 mph from L.A. with this song playing just beyond the point of too loud at 1 A.M. in the morning is fucking possessive!

Estou fazendo isso agora mesmo :)
Mii?!.... sa ai un inceput de saptamana cat mai frumos , linistit si lipsit de orice griji :*.... multumesc mult! :((.... fiecare minut e o alinare pentru mine! :((.... te iubesc Mihaela :*
probably my favorite song. I give it a lot of airplay and the sound immersion is just beautiful. And she's got a beautiful voice.
I'm loving her sound, it's gonna be a good year for her!
Banks you are a woman of true intimacy. I wish everyone would see how you can confront yourself through your music and how we can relate. Amazing
i feel so high everytime i listen to this song
ikr
I am high everytime I listen to this song, numbs the pain that would come from listening to it sober
+Notorious true that lmao
I listen to it sober because pain is life.
H.C. Regalado some handle pain better than others ma friend
I just can't stop listening to this song....just AMAZING!!! Love you my Bankss
I started listening to her exactly 3 days ago an I've already listened to all her albums and currently watching all her music video. Can someone help me. I can't stop. I dont know what I am going to do when I've listened and and watched everything she's realised.

Lyrics:
But it's all the same
I could have foreseen
That you would act like you are
Oh so cool you seem
Blending with that scene
Wearing what you think is hard
I can see you struggling
Boy, don't hurt your brain
Thinking what you're gonna say
Cause everything's a game
Always trying to calculate
Trying to look smart but not too smart
To threaten anything they say
But it's all the same
I could have foreseen
That you would act like you are
Oh so cool you seem
Blending with that scene
Wearing what you think is hard
I can see you struggling
Boy, don't hurt your brain
Thinking what you're gonna say
Cause everything's a game
Always trying to calculate
Trying to look smart but not too smart
To threaten everything they say
Olivia D. Thank you for putting the lyrics here!! (:

Beautiful fuckin' lyrics....
Øh Live E Ah, DarLinG, that's Bee U tee..
~Full
Okay sensory overload.. That music and voice together? Mercy...
This song + weed = heaven
PREACH
Emanuel Valenciano ye i found this song blazed , shazamed ut right away :D
aren't you just edgy as fuck, boi?
lmao bye
Emanuel Valenciano 🔥🔥🔥
Rediscovering her music has been the highlight of my night
Okay when I first listened to this song, which is a couple of years ago. Maybe 2014 idk. I didn't know much about her lyrics but the melody and the singing got me this feeling --- It's just perfect for a dark fantasy world AND I would like to live in that world forever. The emotion in her voice is intense!
11 months after hearing this song for the first song, it STILL gives me goosebumps and teary eyes
+Sharon Boo A sense of nostalgia, correct? or is it just me. Like listening to this, I feel like I've heard it before in another time.
That's Banks for ya. I'm getting goosebumps as I listen to her and write this...This song is just... Perfection.
Sharon Boo 2018!
I have been listening to this song for years. Whenever I get new headphones this is one of the first songs I listen to because it is so dynamic and the fucking bass is incredible. Banks Brain for the win.
Banks is so intoxicating in this video. Sometimes they nail what I think is her natural sensuality. This and Love You Better threatens my theology! 😂
When I die, this song is probably going to flash before my eyes. It's so freaking beautiful.
😂 ❤
Yes!
She reminds me similar to Lykke Li, Lorde, Marina and the Diamonds, Ellie Goulding, Florence and the Machine, Little Dragon, Phantogram kind of style; she so awesome. Love this girl.
how about Lana Del Ray?
***** I forgot to mention her too, Lana Del Rey does sound a lot like her too.
thank god im not the only person who knows about Little Dragon
Jordan McDonald I'm with you, all these youngster are only into these rat infected artist like Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, 1D, etc., I prefered these singers who are not well known like her.
***** I agree with both of ya'll. The generation of today has no idea what's real music. I'm in love with underground artists, they're are the best...and secretly unstoppable.
"wearing what you think is hard".. accurate, gorgeous song
Banks is my everything. Her producers know what they are doing, and her lyrics and voice is just hauntingly beautiful. Keep it up gurl. you going places :)
Who’s here in 2024 ❤
Here every year
I am. I love her music ❤
Just rediscovered and still as amazing as remembered 💗
Me too. After many years on repeat
She put out the original acoustic version a day ago as of today. Killing it
Soren High sent me here years ago with her amazing pole dance routine... been hooked on her ever since. Glad to see that shows in the U.S are using her songs. Her concept of music is pure and amazing ❤️😩❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
My word...Her music just connects with every part of my body. She is too good
the production on this tune is still ridiculous
doar treizeci de minute din programul de dimineata si am reusit sa ajung si sa ma asez pe banca (h)... ce zi extraordinara! :((... Mii?!:((... ingerul meu scump si drag :((... te iubesc! :((... ai grija de tine te rog :((...
I come back to this song every month. The intensity is breathtaking
I love all of her songs, but I keep coming back to this one, despite having known it for years. It's seriously so powerful.
Completely forgot about this, and amazes me how good it is sounding still after all these years. Good music really is timeless
I'm like obsessed with this!
Me too! ^O^
👍👍👍
I thought i was the only one.... Lol
Lol
Agreed.
I don't understand why this doesn't have more views! This is amazing..
Banks does something within her music, that makes you feel electric.
success should not be judged by the amount of views. An artist staying true to themselves and their music is worth more than a singer with the right tactics and budget to please the masses.
Definitely one of the best songs of 2014, so far.
@ 1:36 this visual always makes me think of some dark beautiful bird spreading its wings
Still my favorite song of hers. I listen to this when I'm in dark place. It helps me release my emotions. xx
Her sound is so interesting, the lyrics and the visuals seem to fit it so perfectly. I love it.
This woman touches the darkest side of me in a good way..... Ladies and Gentlemen This is an Artist
In my opinion, this video is the most perfect representation of the archetype of the anima, the feminine within us all. So immersive and entrancing.
My man shlohmo absolutely killed it on the production. I can't believe I almost forgot this song existed
Just started listening to BANKS thru her albums the altar and goddess and this song is absolutely the best song she ever created! I stumbled upon BANKS when listening to Lykke Li, Grimes, Purity Ring and Broods, any other suggestions of music like this?
G DL FKA twigs is like that too
Banks is everything.
Playing this on repeat because this entire song is my current mood and it helps me process my emotions.
So many of her songs I can relate too. Am going through narcissist abuse. I am thankful she has turn her pain into something so beautiful.
With headphones, it's more intense. it's amazing !
Omfg true😭
Yass!!
I totally agree in my beats it's amazing
Omfg so true 🤣💯
She's 100% a Goddess. I'm speechless
I agree.
!!:((... un opt martie cat mai frumos Mihaela! :((... nici un gunoi, nimic toxic sa nu te mai atinga niciodata! :((... multumesc pentru tot ceea ce esti!:((.... ingerul meu scump si drag!:((... te iubesc :((...

Best song on her debut, hands down 👏🏽👏🏽 also one of my favorite songs of all time. She sounds so passionate about what she’s singing & her voice is so soulful & eclectic & INTENSE.... UGH IM OBSESSED WITH HER!! 😍😫 I wish she did this on her ‘III’ tour tbh but her setlist was amazing nonetheless

Goosebumps. Although, every work she's ever done induces the chill than warm and fuzzy.
She's bomb
I love her so much
vc q é uma bomba
Yay! Another LGBT fan!
This song is my anthem. I had my first break up and wasn’t able/wanted to cry, but this song helped me let out all my emotions like it always has.
This album was a fucking production masterclass. The song making was and still is next level. What a goddamn talent this woman is.
THE WAY SHE MOVES HER BODY ...GODDESS
It's been almost two years since I found banks and her music still gives me goosebumps
Her voice is haunting.. 😍
Anybody else still listening in 2024??
