I remember being high on acid, sharing a vulnerable and emotionally intimate moment with my best friend while this song played in the background. It’s a feeling I can’t quite explain, it felt like every note resonated throughout my body.
Check out these songs, but specifically the Live performances. "Iron Sky" - Paolo Nutini. "Future People" - Alabama Shakes. "Don't Wanna Fight" - Alabama Shakes.
The closest I can think of when it comes to modern day soul rock like this is Yves Tumor. Check out their songs “Gospel for a New Century”, “Kerosene”, and “Romanticist/Dream palette”
The beginning of the song threw me for a pretty damn hard loop, when the song switched gears I'm pretty sure my entire soul transcended into another plane of existence
I feel like the beginning is the “puppy love” aspect of some relationships. It feels like a dream and everything is just whimsical and you couldn’t have a care in the world. As the song goes on, you can hear and feel the bass get more louder, more invasive. Once that beat drops, I feel like it almost shows “real love.” The beat feels way more harsh and wanting. You can feel the desire in the beat and how it isn’t a fake, obsessive, “puppy love”, but so much more than that. You could say “real love.”
Redbone is good and all, but holy fucking shit. This is peak music bro. Especially when he says "I'm in love when we are smoking that lalalalala" that part is addicting.
fans who were upset with that lack of rap seem to forget Childish has never gone by the handle "rapper". he's stated in so many interviews he just wants to make music for people to listen to and even then that he has other things in his crosshairs, writing, acting, producing, etc. whatever he does I'll still think of him as an extraordinary guy. Derrick Comedy seems like it was so far away.
That's the reason why I disregard the opinions of rap fans because they always want to put the artist in a box and not give them enough room to grow creatively.
stuys69 and what about literally any single project he did outside of that such as his stand-up career writing and part-time RUclips that points to the opposite of him being just a rapper
While this whole piece of work is amazing and while i completely love the direction he went with the project, i think you're forgetting that Donald had two whole mixtapes named "I'm just a rapper" and "I'm just a rapper 2"
Jax1762 I have listened to both those albums but even during their releases he was working on things other than rapping (as previously stated). Obviously the names of two mixtapes do not directly superceed his the fact that he had and is still showing us rapping isn't all he does. He was on YT before he even began rapping.
This is my first time listening to this song, and... holy shit. I have never, and I mean NEVER, heard a song like this one. I quite literally almost cried at some point. I feel like my soul finally woke up, jesus
@@anthonyp.7721 I'm in manhattan. yeah there's good sights and stuff but everything dirty, it stinks, and its so expensive. but everyones experiences are different right?
My biggest fear about Childish was that he was gonna default back to industry-standard trap beats and an ABAB rap pattern, but boy did he prove me wrong...
This song is orgasm for your ears, gives me goosebumps everytime. It’s a musical love letter in gospel style and I love it; there’s a climax and a plateau as well as a build up to all of it…easily the best song ever made
I can't with this song. Imagine when his children grow up and they hear this. This is just on a different level of amazing. The composition, the realization, transition of emotions, the comfort of being with someone through the early stages and it being so, chill relaxed, than coming to the realization that it's getting real, and now nothing matters. You have me, this love is real and it will become something because it's like no other. Than the vibe comes back in. My god. This is more than music.
His kids will have A LOT to live up to and I’m here for it. Im sure their parents will be amazing to them considering who they are. Donald truly is an artist, glad we could see his full talent out lifetime. Truly magnificent
quillife "I'm in love when we are smoking that lalalala" great line. Even it refers too lala being weed and weed boosts your sex drive this mans a genius
The best song of all time. It's so extremely powerful and overwhelming the first time you hear it. One of the only songs that give me goosebumps. This is what you call a 10/10 song.
when the part 4:09 starts you know that the music is ending. it’s just perfect the music slows down and you have the time to prepare yourself and think “oh it’s ending already” but you know you still have a little more time to enjoy.
LYRICS [Intro] I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la [Hook 1] Do what you want I'm telling you Let me into your heart [Verse 1] Can't stand it, backhanded They wanna see us falling apart You know that I love you So let me into you [Hook 2] Let me into your heart (Do you really love me? I'ma get you, girl, ahhh!) [Verse 2] This is the end of us Sleeping with the moon and the stars I know where you've been You can see us far then near [Hook 3] Let me into your heart Oh, this ain't no bullshit I really love you, girl Oh, oh God [Bridge] Girl you really got a hold on me So this isn't just puppy love Girl you really got a hold on me So this isn't just puppy love [Outro] I'm in love when we are smokin' that Oh my God, I Let me in Girl you really got a hold, woo!
I've never read the lyrics until now. Always thought that they were saying at the beginning : "I think that we all are soul keepers" and I loved it. Never mind.
Time and time again. I remember the pure talent of any individual. This is one of those moments Donald took a moment in time and emotion and made it a song. That’s harder said than done
Istg this scratch my brain..like how can a music be breathtaking, majestic, elegant, beautiful,toe curling, addictive, attractive,and made my veins stram like guitar's strings 😩😩
This could be classified as a masterpiece judging by just the instrumental performance alone. Adding the vocals makes this a song out of this world. I'm very impressed.
Listening on my new headphones. Bought some nice beats only because i got a $100 gift card to best buy for Christmas. I like the way they look and they really do sound good. No fucking way I would have paid retail for them if not for the gift card. I was like, "this dude needs better subs". The moment I finished reading your comment the super bass kicked in. Tested these headphones to the max
I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la (x8) (Weird demonic laughs) Do what you want, whoo! I'm telling you- let me in, to your heart Can't stand it. Backhanded. They wanna see us falling apart You know that, I love you So let me into your heart! (Let me in, to your heart) (Do you really love me? ) Imma get you girl! Ahh! This is the, end of us Sleeping with the moon and the stars I kno-o-ow where you been, you can see us far then near (Let me in, to your heart!) AHH! this ain't no bullshit ((This song istg)) (Let me in, to your heart!) I really love you girl Oh, oh God Girl you really, got a hold on me So this isn't, just puppy love Girl you really, got a hold on me So this isn't, just puppy love Ohh, (pterodactyl screech) (I'm in love when we are smoking that-) (ohhh!) Oh my Go-od. Ahh, ohh Girl you really, got a hold on me ((whew okay back to calm again)) (humming ) Wow okay that was intense. Idk why I'm doing this. But hey. Sorry if I spelled anything wrong.
I love it with the beginning it's calm and it makes you sleepy, but, in the same way, you can hear something in the background as if a predator was about to arrive and catch its prey. When we barely wait and BOOM! I love this song with all my might!!!!!
If Prince, Funkadelic, and Organized Noize had an orgy and the baby was born underwater with three dollars and six dimes......this what it's cry would sound like.
Childish Gambino, the one who truly deserves the title "The Jack of All Trades". Producer, song writer, singer, actor, rapper, man's talent is boundless
It's got trap inspired beats and some kind of xylophone/charms in the background at the beginning. Then, it goes into psychedelic rock with church choir singing and Gambino preaching about a girl with a devil laugh in the background every now and again. It then moves onto a dreamy acoustic session with a tambourine chiming in. Then, this chill bass guitar fades in turning into a synth wave that fades the track out. It's weird but beautiful. It's so fucking Gambino.
This came up in my Spotify autoplay, and I didn't look down at my phone because I was just driving around. That beat dropped, and so did my jaw. I looked down at my phone and was like "THIS IS GAMBINO???" I really slept on this album man, it's fucking wonderful.
You know being an eighteen year old male I really look up to this man, and not because he is a musician, celebrity, actor, or anything, but just because he is the epitome of a genius. This man is an actor, musician, producer, director, dancer, I mean is there really anything he can't do? I look up to Donald simply because he has such an unique view on the world and every piece of art he is in and creates is so diverse and beautiful. Donald Glover or as you may know him as Childish Gambino is such an inspirational and motivational human being that we could all look up to in some sort of way. Pure genius and this album is seriously giving me "Camp" vibes mixed with some other magnificent background feelings, I love it and I can't wait to listen to more of "Awaken, My Love."
I don't think he's a genius. He's good at what he puts his time into. And us? Most of us are good at watching TV, playing video games, and drinking, because that's where we put our time. That doesn't sound useful... but don't discount yourself and others! You might be just as talented as Gambino- or even more talented! If, and only if, you allocate your time into honing your talents. Hopefully this isn't the last time we see you, one day a bright eyed kid will be telling us how you're the genius, praising your visions and ideas! You can be a fountain of inspiration to the uninspired... if you choose to be.
You must know my kids, bcuz they turned me on to him just recently and I gained a renewed faith in music...until they told me he is no longer making music.💔
@@tytustaylor8952 nope, he’s going to be making another album again. He recently drop an album last year but he’ll be back with another one under another name
2:47-2:51 I always have to rewind that part at least 10 times to get my fill. How can any man/woman be blessed with lungs and chords to that degree.. it gives me goosebumps whenever that part comes up
Donald, I don't care what anybody says, this is a masterpiece; I was really depressed for no reason, but your song gave me spirit and now I'm ok. Thank you so much for your art (btw don't feel obligated to rap, you're amazing).
phil s tbh I didn't expect to get any attention from this comment... I didn't think the famous and important "phil s" was going to see it either! Idk it was my way of saying thank you in a sea of various comments and thanks boy dxnw
I love the intro of course, it's my favorite part of the song but, can we just appreciate how beautiful it's the whole song, it's really a masterpiece, it's love for your ears!
This is what love would sound like if it was a song. From those first xylophone sounds that make you think of those cute moments of exchanged smiles and flirty interactions, you know something special is brewing. And then the lyrics kick in with "I'm in love when we are smoking that lalalaaa," taking you straight into that blissful phase of having a major crush. It's all lovey-dovey and magical, but not quite ''true love'' yet. Then as the beat drops and things get intense, the music takes on an almost animalistic quality, revealing the raw and primal aspects of love. It's all-consuming, taking over your thoughts and actions, and you just surrender to it, frantically accepting the craziness. Love becomes your main focus, and sometimes it even messes with other stuff in your life. Then comes the calm after the storm, the sweet conclusion of the song. It's like the moment when you've weathered all the ups and downs together and now you're growing old side by side.

Bino, king of transitions. Yaphet Kotto an effortless one too
when the part 4:09 starts you know that the music is ending. it’s just perfect the music slows down and you have the time to prepare yourself and think “oh it’s ending already” but you know you still have a little more time to enjoy.
What? It’s still 2 minutes from there 😂 He’s just changing dynamics

[Hook 1]
Do what you want
I'm telling you
Let me into your heart
[Verse 1]
Can't stand it, backhanded
They wanna see us falling apart
You know that I love you
So let me into you
[Hook 2]
Let me into your heart
(Do you really love me?
I'ma get you, girl, ahhh!)
[Verse 2]
This is the end of us
Sleeping with the moon and the stars
I know where you've been
You can see us far then near
[Hook 3]
Let me into your heart
Oh, this ain't no bullshit
I really love you, girl
Oh, oh God
[Bridge]
Girl you really got a hold on me
So this isn't just puppy love
Girl you really got a hold on me
So this isn't just puppy love
[Outro]
I'm in love when we are smokin' that
Oh my God, I
Let me in
Girl you really got a hold, woo!
Wow
I've never read the lyrics until now. Always thought that they were saying at the beginning : "I think that we all are soul keepers" and I loved it. Never mind.
Yes
Yes
@@MllMay lol don’t switch up this song be bomb
Time and time again. I remember the pure talent of any individual. This is one of those moments Donald took a moment in time and emotion and made it a song. That’s harder said than done
You should listen to baby boy from the same album I lost a son last year and it really hits home for me
@@f210-t1r will do fellow human 🫡 and I am very sorry for your loss. I have experienced something similar.
you are totally missing out if you aren't listening to this with either a good pair of headphones on or a sound system with a sub.
I know! ill buy the headphones before winter break morgan freeman
Grab some Sony MDR-V6 cans and thank me later.
FrogLungs Most def.
The bass came in when I was reading this. It felt amazing.
Holy shit, i was listening to this with generic speakers and i switched to my headphones. The bass is amazing.
Did youtube actually recommend me good music?
Yes bitch
Gian Daniele WHAT!!!
why do I always have to find my music
lmfao
+Trevor Phillips I know right? Why do I always have to know when my favorite artists are gonna release next album!!!???
this is what growth sounds like people

Everybody's obsessed with Redbone. Im obsessed w/ this one 😂😂
AnneaKaeOfficial video
Both. They both do something to me😩
AnneaKaeOfficial I'm obsessed with both
This is the one i got in to first
Me too, but this is the 1st time I've heard it.
Im not saying Childish Gambino and Donald Glover are the same person, but have you ever seen them in the same room together?
Jasiri Harrison broooo you're actually right...holy shit
Jasiri Harrison Aren't they the same person tho?
Danny Miller they have different names so they cant be, those are the rules
Jasiri Harrison smokes weed that is all.
you smoke weed bro?
Only Donald we need in our lives

Hold that L libtards. Democracy always wins.
Meanwhile popular vote went to Hillary. You won because it's also a Republic. So no Democracy didn't win.
Democracy is dead. I will break the social contract over your head.
Istg this scratch my brain..like how can a music be breathtaking, majestic, elegant, beautiful,toe curling, addictive, attractive,and made my veins stram like guitar's strings 😩😩
This could be classified as a masterpiece judging by just the instrumental performance alone. Adding the vocals makes this a song out of this world. I'm very impressed.
Fuck yeah man I agree. Can't wait for the album.
That bass tone is top notch
Wow. Crazy.
Listening on my new headphones. Bought some nice beats only because i got a $100 gift card to best buy for Christmas. I like the way they look and they really do sound good. No fucking way I would have paid retail for them if not for the gift card. I was like, "this dude needs better subs". The moment I finished reading your comment the super bass kicked in. Tested these headphones to the max
i have to turn down a lil bit at 1:36 hahah poor speakers
I'm in love when we are smoking that la-la-la-la-la (x8)
(Weird demonic laughs)
Do what you want, whoo!
I'm telling you-
let me in, to your heart
Can't stand it. Backhanded.
They wanna see us falling apart
You know that, I love you
So let me into your heart!
(Let me in, to your heart)
(Do you really love me? )
Imma get you girl! Ahh!
This is the, end of us
Sleeping with the moon and the stars
I kno-o-ow where you been, you can see us far then near
(Let me in, to your heart!)
AHH!
this ain't no bullshit ((This song istg))
(Let me in, to your heart!)
I really love you girl
Oh, oh God
Girl you really, got a hold on me
So this isn't, just puppy love

It has been 7 years man, still not tired of it
He can sing, rap, act and he's currently traveling the world on a boat. Is there something he can't do?
Kaiser Hieillua he can't do nothing (see what I did there)
Hieillua yes he's a pretty good comedian.
And a pretty good dancer
Hieillua can't fly 😋
he cant act
jk
I love it with the beginning it's calm and it makes you sleepy, but, in the same way, you can hear something in the background as if a predator was about to arrive and catch its prey. When we barely wait and BOOM! I love this song with all my might!!!!!
Exactly what I was thinking
Cringe
@@olpetti7412 okay
This is the most perfect song ever

If Prince, Funkadelic, and Organized Noize had an orgy and the baby was born underwater with three dollars and six dimes......this what it's cry would sound like.

Judah Bellamy first half almost sounds like it came off of samantha by Toro Y Moi, too

Childish Gambino, the one who truly deserves the title "The Jack of All Trades". Producer, song writer, singer, actor, rapper, man's talent is boundless
It's got trap inspired beats and some kind of xylophone/charms in the background at the beginning. Then, it goes into psychedelic rock with church choir singing and Gambino preaching about a girl with a devil laugh in the background every now and again. It then moves onto a dreamy acoustic session with a tambourine chiming in. Then, this chill bass guitar fades in turning into a synth wave that fades the track out.
It's weird but beautiful. It's so fucking Gambino.
DaKezzFletch sounds like gta san andreas theme song

i think this is one of the most powerful songs ever
he is just SCREAMING his heart out
This came up in my Spotify autoplay, and I didn't look down at my phone because I was just driving around. That beat dropped, and so did my jaw. I looked down at my phone and was like "THIS IS GAMBINO???" I really slept on this album man, it's fucking wonderful.
cant believe i discovered this song this late like i only heard the calming part in tiktok but i never knew this beatdrop existed
Did I smoke too much or is this, like, the greatest song I've ever heard?!??!
Benjamin Roberts no ite amazing, if i listened to this high i dont think id ever feel the same again
Benjamin Roberts haha same
Greatest song ever heard brother, toke up
Benjamin Roberts It's the greatest song. I don't even smoke and this has been on repeat for like 2 days.
Janae Eaton Have you listened to Redbone? its even better in my opinion :)
You know being an eighteen year old male I really look up to this man, and not because he is a musician, celebrity, actor, or anything, but just because he is the epitome of a genius. This man is an actor, musician, producer, director, dancer, I mean is there really anything he can't do? I look up to Donald simply because he has such an unique view on the world and every piece of art he is in and creates is so diverse and beautiful. Donald Glover or as you may know him as Childish Gambino is such an inspirational and motivational human being that we could all look up to in some sort of way. Pure genius and this album is seriously giving me "Camp" vibes mixed with some other magnificent background feelings, I love it and I can't wait to listen to more of "Awaken, My Love."
nobody gives a shit
Seb Duncan Fuck off
I don't think he's a genius. He's good at what he puts his time into. And us? Most of us are good at watching TV, playing video games, and drinking, because that's where we put our time. That doesn't sound useful... but don't discount yourself and others! You might be just as talented as Gambino- or even more talented! If, and only if, you allocate your time into honing your talents. Hopefully this isn't the last time we see you, one day a bright eyed kid will be telling us how you're the genius, praising your visions and ideas! You can be a fountain of inspiration to the uninspired... if you choose to be.
Deviate also a pretty good comedian
I wanna be like him someday.
LETTTTTTT MEEEEE INNNNN TOOOOO YOURRRR HEARTTTT!!!

Damn, this track is the lovechild of Pink Floyd and James Brown
good description
That's actually pretty freaking accurate
This album is laced with early Funkadelic riffs & samples.
aye is this his new album
Isaiah Salas Yea, and its out now
2:03 I was listening with a headphone on my ears and full volume because I thought it was calm and soothing.... I NEARLY DIED WHEN IT DROPPED
it become alive
I know I jumped because it was so sudden. I really like this part in the song though
i always turn my volume down one when that part comes cuz i feel like it’s louder so lowering the volume one levels it out
I was on the toilet when the drop came on. It was so intense I almost blew my pants off
i took a hint at 1:37 that it was going to be loud later xD
Listening to this song with headphones is the best experience in my entire life.
Faxxxxx
Truth!!!
After my dad told me he liked Feels Like Summer, I directed him to this album. He loved it! Cant't believe I got my dad onto Glover.
same with my dad!!! He downloaded the whole thing lmaoo
And look, all these years later, no Bro Rape involved. The Universe likes a happy ending!
You must know my kids, bcuz they turned me on to him just recently and I gained a renewed faith in music...until they told me he is no longer making music.💔
@@tytustaylor8952 nope, he’s going to be making another album again. He recently drop an album last year but he’ll be back with another one under another name
Your father has ELITE taste
This song is underrated af
Stupid Tutorials #ReplaceRedbone lmao! It got too overplayed
Stupid Tutorials tell me about it
EvilAlbear compared to redbone?
EvilAlbear what about Awaken my love compared to Starboy (,: iono anymore
Stupid Tutorials yeah 38 million is underrated...
2:47-2:51 I always have to rewind that part at least 10 times to get my fill. How can any man/woman be blessed with lungs and chords to that degree.. it gives me goosebumps whenever that part comes up
3:07 is the best part personally he’s so unbelievably talented

Zesty Samurai o shit
Zesty Samurai there's literally a video where Donald Glover interviews Childish Gambino
mathiastmb Yup I've seen. Definitely not the same person.
Donald, I don't care what anybody says, this is a masterpiece; I was really depressed for no reason, but your song gave me spirit and now I'm ok. Thank you so much for your art (btw don't feel obligated to rap, you're amazing).
nice picture dude, tv's Atom Kravitz
why you write this comment like he's gonna see it? plus he doesn't give a fuck about your depression
man shut the fuck up and let the dude talk. why you gotta shit on someone's happiness. go sit in the corner you miserable shit

Someone Something (it's Bruce lol)
I love the intro of course, it's my favorite part of the song but, can we just appreciate how beautiful it's the whole song, it's really a masterpiece, it's love for your ears!
i would love this song when my science teacher played it while we worked in finally found it
This is what love would sound like if it was a song. From those first xylophone sounds that make you think of those cute moments of exchanged smiles and flirty interactions, you know something special is brewing. And then the lyrics kick in with "I'm in love when we are smoking that lalalaaa," taking you straight into that blissful phase of having a major crush. It's all lovey-dovey and magical, but not quite ''true love'' yet.
Then as the beat drops and things get intense, the music takes on an almost animalistic quality, revealing the raw and primal aspects of love. It's all-consuming, taking over your thoughts and actions, and you just surrender to it, frantically accepting the craziness. Love becomes your main focus, and sometimes it even messes with other stuff in your life.
Then comes the calm after the storm, the sweet conclusion of the song. It's like the moment when you've weathered all the ups and downs together and now you're growing old side by side.
