I’ve cried so much to this so on repeat!!! And it hits home Everytime! Being an outcast for so long then finally coming into your own is such a beautiful feeling. Having the courage to just be unapologetically you and their problems with you are just that theirs! Such a wonderful place to be in. Thank you for giving us this beautiful piece of you. 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Durand grew up around legendary artist like Earth, Wind and Fire because his Father is in the industry. This is part of why the harmonies are emaculent!!
Tell me your story without telling me your story! You better vogue out of that cocoon, Durrand!!! Another beautiful piece of art that you've created! Love it!
This is so deep, Durand. So glad to be a witness to your evolution, your growth and your depth. The music was always flawless ... and now, your intention and vision matches your vocal prowess.
I can’t put into words how many times I have had this song on repeat, while I am in my creative moments and cried endlessly. Simply because I was facing my fears. It’s the only song I would listen to for hours, sometimes days at a time nonstop. Idk It just spoke to me. It Reminded me of my worth, even if no one else sees it, or believes in me God does. Thank you for sharing pieces of you with me 💕✝️
It's very seldom that art touches the heart like this. You divested yourself of the stagnant cocoon of doubt and inhibition to evolve into the dazzling beauty that is embracing yourself and the purest truth. As a a fellow black gay man I have looked up to you for many years and with this as always you showcased the divine femininity & masculinity we all possess. Durand you are to be respected and applauded, the magic you create is sooo deeply appreciated and refreshing to many spirits I assure you. Quite frankly that range just don't quit and I will stan forever for that alone. I saw God in this. I of course saw You in this. And I saw Me in this. Thank you for the gift of melodious encouragement 💞🤎🙂
[Chorus] (They'll comprehend once you find the right melody) What does that mean? Can you explain please? (We’ll understand once you find your identity) That's whatcha mean, it's like (1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah!) [VERSE I] You must really hate me and I don't know why Knowing I'm here but won't look me in the eye First you run me ragged up and down the scale Then later can’t figure out why you’re out of breath [Chorus] (They'll comprehend once you find the right melody) What does that mean? Can you explain please? (We’ll understand once you find your identity) That's whatcha mean, it's like (1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah!) [VERSE II] I was all alone in my cocoon I had gotten (so comfy in my solitude) Until one day I opened up in a way (way) That changed my shit and I'll never be the same... Thank you, Bravery (Running for president and going nowhere Sending out a search Party to find you Give me the quality, spare the dramatic) Or we won't know if it's really there [Chorus] (They'll comprehend once you find the right melody) What does that mean? Can you explain please? (We’ll understand once you find your identity) That's whatcha mean, it's like (1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah!) Like 1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah! Like 1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah! (and another muthafuckin' thang... don't forget it... mmm Oh, another muthafuckin' thang... Hatecho asssssssss...)
I dont know about yall…but i was in tears watching this. This visual to EVERY SINGLE WORD in the song is just pure ART! Pleaaaaase give this man his flowers🗣🤍💐
Sending this to my Son, I have UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR HIM I LOVE HIM WITH ALL OF ME, THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF HIM, I tell him YOUR IDENTITY IS WHO YOU ARE, NOT WHAT PEOPLE WANT YOU TO BE,👑❤ Thank you👑🦋💙
...Really need RUclips to stop tripping. I did not get this notification. Oh this is so beautiful. Just what I needed. This is such a treat 🥰 The musical genius strikes again.
Your comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing grows there”. Aṣẹ. We all have our own cocoons that we need to break out of to experience true liberation. A word! This was beautiful, love you, the outfits & I loved the dance breakdown.
You absolutely slayed this video!! The vulnerability you displayed in this visual just makes the lyrics mean that much more. Thank you for the transparency you always give us. Thank you for serving us a piece of you throughout your journey. Most importantly Thank you for being UNAPOLOGETICALLY you!!!! I'm hella proud to be a Patron💛💛💛 I love your existence and I'm happy you are a vessel of what is missing in the world today!
Favorite song off the album , dead ass cried the 1st time I listened. I recommend this song to everyone I meet. Keep up the great work , you ARE an absolute STAR 💙🤟🏽✨
Watching this with the knowledge provided from the behind the scenes video makes this a completely different experience. Understanding that the song is from the melody's perspective..👏 An amazing job!!
@@lFrenzied Yes, no doubt, the entire song is personal. However, In the behind the scenes video he said that the 1st verse is being song from the perspective of the melody. Which is genius. Here's the link just you haven't had the opportunity to watch. Plus, he explains it 💯 time better :) ruclips.net/video/QIR3CI_qDt8/видео.html
I just adore your ability to be vulnerable in your music yet also sing in a way that shows how much joy you get from singing. I always tell people that you sing like you’re in love with singing no matter what the subject matter is.
DB I just feel some kind of way about you leveling up so seamlessly. I remember alcoholic harmony and cell phone. They still bops. But you are unmatched. Dur& is a gift. 💨🌲 in honor of your shine. 🌻✨🖤
This was everything…. The art behind it all just did something to me. It’s as if someone was reading a poem and another painted the pic while the poet was speaking… fantastic
Yesssss to the melody video thank you boo this gives me life.. Been following since blog TV... This video reminded me of me and how one day I just said f it and lived my own life... Go best friend thats my best friend..
You know when you don’t know what’ you needed to you get it and you have given me what I needed sir.. Please continue yoh to do what your doing bring back soul and r&b to the world love you all the way from the uk 🇬🇧
Did not think I could love you any MORE than I did already! WOW! This is AMAZING Durand.. I love you and your work... an extraordinary TALENT beyond words, congrats on success and MORE success when people FINALLY catch on!... Well done sweetie!👏🏾👏🏾❤❤
So...I'm in a, "Heal My Shadows" and "Purging" chapter in my life. Durand, this song is grounding (as well as a doorway to releasing when shit gets intense for me) to my spirit for the lyrics are ridiculously resonating. I'm glad to experience the video visualizations to this song. Thank you. 💐

Playing this on subwoofers 🔊 in my brand new house when i close on it !!! MARK MY WORDS 🥰❗️ absolute MASTERPIECE Durrand 😩♥️♥️♥️
His vocals and talent is outstanding. He should be receiving many accolades. Someone please give this man his ROSES!!!
Been following since “Wasn’t no lettuce cut!!” And this is beautiful! I feel like a proud older brother!
Durand Bernarr is THE MOST underrated artist I've ever been exposed to! Name another artist. Go ahead. I'll wait.
His voice is very reminiscent of a young Eric Benet..very versatile and full of range and depth! Going to check out this album!
His vocals are EVERYTHING!

One thing about Durand he is going to deliver a visual performance.
...Really need RUclips to stop tripping. I did not get this notification. Oh this is so beautiful.
Just what I needed. This is such a treat 🥰 The musical genius strikes again.

Go head Black Butterfly, I see ya. Love this groove, it is definitely a mood. Thank you for keep real singing alive.
It’s the end for me 😍 I just luv this song.
From lettuce pray in the early days of YT to now. Pure brilliance!! U birthed a generation.
