[@gracecostello6789]

everything this man does hits me in a place that no artist or musician has ever come close to. I am honestly breathless

[@karlcarbonell1155]

literally same

[@TedBilk]

this!

[@23CrashCrashBurn23]

I’m here after “we are who we are” 😍 can’t stop listening

[@burritogamer3984]

same, man.... the way they tied the concert into the storyline was so nice

[@Natymc99]

Saaameee

[@candela7025]

me too

[@davidsearles7330]

That end scene tho in the last episode, that was like some west side story shit, music wise that is, brilliant

[@geothings5060]

To be fuxking honest😂😬

[@Chris-vy7mn]

So underrated i swear

[@loveabundantly]

dev hynes is everything refreshing about the multidimensionality of blackness

[@SAsaiyajin]

Brooks Welch he isnt refreshing to me. But in a good way, he takes me back to 80s music.

[@currybumjenkins5428]

And the winner for most pretentious comment goes to...

[@vojo5]

brooks charis yes!

[@koredeaderele1666]

this times 10000000000

[@yaggayaggaya9918]

Currybum Jenkins it goes to you 👏🏾👏🏾😘

[@moosesnWoop]

This dudes production is flawless. That drum beat holy cow.

[@lyfeindoors]

Anyone else get chills on that intro?

[@GamesWithTheUmbart]

I laughed a bit

[@lauraguerin6038]

Yes !

[@polarbearfelly]

Next level!

[@AlexLopez-hn5ru]

ALL THE TIME

[@connoisseuroftigolbitts]

The ending to the choreography is dope

[@N2DaMusic1]

I love that deep 80's sound

[@zandraha1798]

isn't it giving so much twin peak vibes?

[@mattercreator1]

This guy blew me away when he was Lightspeed Champion, he could do so much with just a guitar. This is so good. I didn't know Blood Orange til now, I have some catching up to do.

[@djraepa]

Yes you do

[@FilmSureelist97]

I was so happy to see dev hynes be praised in “we are who we are” with composing the score. His score for Palo Alto and queen and slim are amazing too I can’t wait to hear him compose the soundtracks for Gia Coppola’s mainstream and passing too.

[@Bodega_princess]

THE MUSIC, THE CHOREOGRAPHY, THE CONCEPT-
Y'all are so sick for not hyping this up...

[@VGBNDGRL]

Can’t imagine what type of magic Dev Hynes has that he’s able to bring out so much out of other people he works with. Love this side of CRJ.

[@schormu]

I'm literally speechless... How can something this good be so so underrated!

[@24POWERS]

Underrated ?

[@jasam123]

Loving this apex twin rhythm in pop music

[@melworku2060]

I will singlehandedly bring this to a million views -- just off pure energy

[@1992s.h.i.t]

you did it buddy!! congrats

[@literallywhoareyou6203]

i will never get tired of this song

[@tonyvodden]

This track is grossly under appreciated-it’s perfection 💚

[@bamsiza2012]

I just love his authenticity ♥️love From South Africa 🇿🇦

[@MrRnbdude4]

Carly is incredible in this

[@caman2011]

We need to give this man his damn flowers rn. A true artist.

[@recordbum]

Goosh.
If this intro was in the track from Spotify I would be happy.

[@letsgetcutty786]

It's the previous track?

[@nancychavez991]

The Intro, lyrics ,dancers....everything about this is just beautiful!

[@isadoreiris]

I'm glad to see interpretive dance in music videos again!

[@twanpizzaman]

how is this possible not even 1 million views :o

[@MrRnbdude4]

carly... her range

[@alexanderlopez-guevara8357]

The entire video is a work of art, but I must say: that ending always sends me soaring into the sky. God, what a beautiful outro. 🙏🏻❤️

[@shelxp]

the drum programming on this track. my god.

[@Cj-jr7js]

Devonte and carly make beautiful music together.

[@FilmSureelist97]

Same with him and ASAP rocky. I’d love to hear him do music with Sam smith, Adele, fka twigs, disclosure, and Beyoncé

[@zeitok8]

this is great, is a breath of fresh air

[@georgepilot9939]

This is a low key gem 💫🤠

[@lephoquebleu8302]

high key even

[@sentientskittle8807]

1:23 That eyebrow raise was so sultry. Carly is amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@brianabobo4904]

The saxophone is such a superior instrument

[@je_te_laisserai]

Ninety-nine percent, I know you're not fine
Now everyone could be mistakenly kind
Niggas in the back tryna act blind
Several ways to think about your eyesight
Say what you will, what you want
Know it's not the time that you can
Receiving a gift of change with a kiss
Not too long and not too bored and can't resist or miss
The chance of being who they think, they think you are
How long before your journey?
Walls inside of me that then tell me to breathe
They shake your hand and thank the man for just letting it be
Know my worth and fake the blame
But I know she's better than me
Wait your turn and change your ways
But I know he's better than me
Why choose love when hate comes first?
And I know they're better than me
Wait your turn and change your ways
But I know he's better than me
Ninety-nine percent, I know you're not fine
Now everyone could be mistakenly kind
Say what you will, what you want
Know it's not the time that you can
Receiving a gift of change with a kiss
Not too long and not too bored and can't resist or miss
The chance of being who they think, they think you are
How long before your journey?
Walls inside of me that then tell me to breathe
They shake your hand and thank the man for just letting it be
Know my worth and fake the blame
But I know she's better than me
Wait your turn and change your ways
But I know he's better than me
Why choose love when hate comes first?
And I know they're better than me
Wait your turn and change your ways
But I know he's better than me
I know he's better than me
And I know and I know and I know
I know he's better than me

[@andreanarbot8108]

OMG! The choreography!

[@willfredjr21]

This is everything!

[@craigdavidson4845]

Who is the female singer? She got swag! That dance choreography was off the CHAIN!!!

[@pyrotechnic96]

It's Carly Rae Jepsen. Most famous for Call Me Maybe

[@TheDEATHSTARIII]

there is something so new York about this video

[@comradeelmo8923]

Look up „I know“, you will get that same vibe

[@tingma6741]

Somehow I get the new york vibe too but I haven't even been to the states before. Someone tell me why.

[@elijahdesouza8850]

His music has no ego.. his ego has no ego

[@michaelsokolis6376]

2024 baby!!

[@hueyfreeman818]

Carly should sing more often in this lower tone, very attractive.

[@MyKeeP81]

amazing

[@VGBNDGRL]

Brings out a side of her that I can’t ever find in her own work!!

[@hueyfreeman818]

@@VGBNDGRL Yes! She should definitely try it in one of her own songs.

[@EmilijaTerzic]

[@miguelguardo7694]

Dev is a musical genius... Prince would have liked this...

[@JackCook-g2r]

Wonderful song, so succinctly aloof..I feel like I've grown somehow hearing it- tho I can't remember any specifics in particular... Like when you read a really good book and you try to explain it to someone ❤️‍🔥👁️🤺
