I'd appreciate it if y'all could give feedback to my Frank Ocean Covers; Sweet Life: ruclips.net/video/OUnwBVjMu0I/видео.html Nikes: ruclips.net/video/iqM4PQGcgNE/видео.html
I discovered him with this song, and I've been researching about him for a few days. but I can't find much personal information about him. some people here wrote that he quit music or something, I hope this is not true.😢
@@Aerochalklate To be honest, the singing in studio version of the song sounds different. He has a more minimalistic approach to singing. He did not play with rhythm and tone as much in the booth as he did here. I liked the more monotonous singing in the studio version with the minimalistic beat more, but to each their own. Still a very cool rearrangement of his own song :D
@@vampirgirl41 yeah i feel you. something i notice especially with very proficient musicians is the official studio version works as a framework for how they might perform live. So like you say how it's more monotonous and minimalist is what gives his so much freedom to express it differently between performances live which is surely quite fulfilling as an artist and also gives audiences a lot of variety for different tastes which is a bonus. Love the original but this version simply takes me.
@@IyanLeol reverb, delay and autotune only help to stay in the right pitch and it's artificial, a person can't hit high notes only using those artificial tools, you need to know how to actually sing to be able to do certain vocal skills
Ignore what these other guys are saying. If you want to be like frank ocean, and surpass him, just stay dedicated and work on your craft. You can do it if you really believe. They’re just caught up in his stardom.. He’s just a guy. With a team. You can be just as awesome as him. (No disrespect to Frank’s dedication/art)
When your natural good at something and practice and are ready for the moment its really easy. You just get in a zone... you been doing this your whole life with people telling you you sound good your whole life... no pressure
What I love about John Mayer is that this dude has such a passion for music that, as big a star as he is in his own right, he doesn't mind playing backup on guitar/vocals to people like Frank Ocean, Ed Sheeran, Post Malone or any number of artists.
Flea and Chad from RHCP is the same. Flea played trumpet as part of a giant orchestra for Ms. Lauryn Hill, camera showed him only a couple of times, very humble move.
@@whitegohst33 i just watched this video in some frank doc. Then i suddenly noticed that familiar face and was like.. what? John mayor playing guitar for frank without taking any spotlight. Man so humble.
I am literally desperate for him to go on tour and finally perform all of this wonderful, beautiful, soothing, tear jerking music live. So many times I’ve found myself connecting with his music on a deeply emotional level. Just crying about something listening to this, blonde, and channel orange as a whole. What an anomaly of an artist, man.
I love that most people performing on SNL go all out trying to impress the big audience, but Frank just sits on a stool and pours his soul out. All heart and talent. 🙏
Sitting on my shitty apartment balcony, stoned, laughing out loud about how good this is. When he hits the highs, how can you not smile at the brilliance.
When you so thrilled about this rare sight of Frank Ocean singing and going deep in it, and then suddenly your favorite artists stands is the shadows playing guitar and they’re both in one frame.
Every time I hear this song I get so teary eyed, chills up and down my spine travels up to my brain like a natural vibration it’s a very touching and emotional song for me makes me think of my life with my husband and what we have done and still have plans to do in the future…WOO LAWD DA SONG POWERFUL
I think this is the best version there is of this song, and it's a bummer that the audio quality is so poor. It's 2023 and I still remember this performance. Absolutely priceless 👌
this man is a genius. eternally grateful for his music. its truly timeless and he sounds the exact same live as the studio versions! my favorite artist hands down
I listened to this song and cover for an entire year after seeing my then fiance battle an illness which ultimately led to his dismay… nothing else made sense but listening to this.
I was too young and ignorant to appreciate this song at the zenith of my youth; but listening it now, it makes up for the lost time and making it all a worthwhile at the same time 💙💙💙
Damn. Nostalgia hits like a truck. Great memories with this song. Also I remember in high-school we had a talent show and this guy tried to perform this song. It was going great until the high notes... Let's just say that scraping chalk on the black board sounded better lol.
It’s like you can feel his aura through the screen when he sings bro. You can just tell how he Chanels his emotions when he sings you can literally feel his passion for music and you can just tell by his face. I’ve always loved frank ocean for this bc a lot other singers who sing on stage don’t always seem too happy to be there, prob bc they didn’t write the song and can’t relate to it. I give props to artists who write their own songs because it’s almost like you can feel how they feel when they’re singing I think it’s so beautiful
I remember watching this on tv when it first came out. Me and my sisters already loved him and this made him one of our favorite artists ever. I still think his performance is top 5 in SNL history.
Each time I hear this song I get super emotional. And I do enjoy this Version : sometimes you watch an artist singing and playing live and it sounds like the studio version. Thank you for re-visiting and re-creating this masterpiece for your audience 😘
Wow I appreciate true artists. My daughter introduces me to this beautiful singer. Had no idea about him. I'm a metal rock guy , grow with led zep , Metallica but this dude is fucking 🔥 👌
There’s something about experienced vocalists where you can tell they could give more and are deliberately restraining their voice. Keeping it in that sweet spot.

This is so tragically, hilariously true 🥲😂😂😔😭. We gonna be ok y’all 🙂
Every few months man
Who's listen to this in may 2024?
🙋♂️
🧱
I'm here just because the slow motion reverb version of this song, when I listened for the first time
🙏
I came here because Park Jimin told me to
His vocal range is crazy. From a low note to that high pitch. Such a good singer and he has such a versatile voice
Kinda like Prince
I get chills whenever he hits those high notes live.
flawless singing
i get chills when he
not easy to transition from a lower octave to two octaves higher in a second
His falsetto is so beautiful and the way he transitions from one to the other, mmm. Flawless
we all do.
I love that John Mayer isn’t even trying to steal the spot light that’s awesome he knew it was Frank’s time and let him embrace it fully
Mate, he is always like that. John is a person so pure and natural, he is a great human being.
Lol i didn’t even see him
Whoaaa I didn’t even realize that was him
why the f is he even there. I also see him on a Daniel Cesar song. He's not stealing the spotlight from them.
@Party They didn't choose for him to be there, and he'd definitely not stealing any spotlight from them.
He captures that feeling of longing for someone you can't be with perfectly 😢
No seriously. I know that feeling so well and he captures it perfectly.😢❤
I discovered him with this song, and I've been researching about him for a few days. but I can't find much personal information about him. some people here wrote that he quit music or something, I hope this is not true.😢
he has not poste any music in a lot of time@@nesetans
@@abdullahibille2055 it's so sad😞I wonder why? there must be a logical reason for it.
@@nesetans his last album was in 2016 so I think he has “retired” but not officially
Omg he sounds so good live.
he sounds the exact same its beautiful
@@Aerochalklate Such a rare thing these days

Only Frank can sing in an arcade and still feels like heaven.
T pain too
you do know it's just a set made to look like an arcade right lol
@@barnieedison34 thx for the info i need that man
exactly what I was thinking
This comment got featured in a podcast about this song.
ruclips.net/video/L3AhFNx-jVI/видео.html
I cannot believe that a human being can sing like this in front of millions this easily. This man is one of the most talented people I've ever seen
Technology and auto tune also exists… with reverb. And delay.
It’s actually not that hard, you can do it too.
@@IyanLeol i promise to not be negative isn’t difficult at all. let’s please appreciate this mans talent and keep it stepping

I could’ve sworn it was him in the shadows lol
The fact that he even showed up 😂
This video is the definition of timeless music
timeless? seems like 4/4 to me.
It sure is!!
9 years timeless?
@@markketo Yes
@@AjBanjo channel orange stills sounds pretty recent
Frank should do an NPR live concert 🤟🤟
yesss him doing a tiny desk would be amazing
I pray every night for this
@@AHP32 me too
I was litterally thinking bout that
Absolutely
When he hits those high notes I get chills
Oh boy ,that falsetto is everything 🔥
10 years after it's released and I'm still obsessed with it
That falsetto is CRAZYYYY.. like omg it’s not just the range but his tone. It’s beautiful.
The way he conveys his emotions while singing is truly a talent on its own
Amazing. Sooooooo good, touches my soul
@@nathaliegnidine2594 yea 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥
The guitar arrangement on this is just amazing. All three of them
One of them is a bass but still
idk if you noticed, but John Mayer is playing guitar on the left
@@MongerOfStrings8222 it’s a bass “guitar”!
@@whitegohst33 i just watched this video in some frank doc. Then i suddenly noticed that familiar face and was like.. what? John mayor playing guitar for frank without taking any spotlight. Man so humble.
@@dianewest5808 please ...don't ever say that. As a bassist I'm offended that you said bass "guitar" ewww Inma cancel you now girl
Frank's voice is so beautiful and original. He can hit high notes and also sing low as well. I'm in love with this song. I first heard it in jail haha
he’s so shy it’s the cutest thing. 😫💛
worst comment of the decade. ruined my day reading this
@@skty1lmao😭
You notice🫡
There is a shyness, but he's a accomplisher. He gets the job done.
@@Riley.0610 you just made me read the comment again 😭😭
@@skty1 sorry😭
A lot of artists don't sound as good live as when recorded (obviously), but Frank sounds beautiful anywhere I see
even Frank sounds better recorded cuz it was his best take, but he stills sounds good here.
@@lordchold2316 yeah the high notes the same but the first part is a lil suspect still good though
Raw performances from frank ocean is always the best
Check out Paolo Nutini (completely different genre of music btw) but every live recording of him is better than the studio version :))
@@DemonTime08 first part was horrendous😂

Facts bro I'm tryna pull up to a concert solo and be in my feelings
Good luck I feel like the homie never going back on tour again
I’d literally pay any amount of money to go to a concert of his and sit front row
He cant sing live === thats why he doesnt do it
@@hateyouwithapassion1 literally watch the video stfu
This will be forever THAT SONG💎
His voice gives me chills
2010’s was one decade for amazing music.
Every decade has something everyone can find and enjoy...

Crying, sobbing, throwing up😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This guy got the voice of an angel. Sounds this good with no help. Amazing.
This version of the song was my wedding song ❤️❤️❤️❤️ my husband and I always come back her to visit this performance.
So cute
Beautiful
Can you Please not make me teary eyed. Beautiful. This song took on a whole new meaning reading your comment
LOL
@@UltimateSuperJohn can you go instigate sum bitches rq
Lemme me tell you.. DO YOU SEE JOHN MAYER playing the guitar?
Bro for real!
I miss those days when my mom was still alive and happy 😢
You and me both
Quite literally one of the best snl performances ever
I just started listening to Frank’s music, and I gotta say he is definitely a talented musician and he deserves way more recognition
Bruh you haven’t yet lived till you listen to Frank Ocean
If he drops another album, the world will change. He’s not underrated
He's one of the biggest artists on the planet, he just doesn't release songs that often
more recognition? he's one of the most famous artists in the world..
@@michael8815 that's Frank fans for you
frank is what kevin hart thinks he looks like when he's singing
kevin hart wouldn't be mad if u say that to him lol
i cant unsee it
.
I’m screaming
Im dead bruh XD
This live performance is one of a kind.
I love that most people performing on SNL go all out trying to impress the big audience, but Frank just sits on a stool and pours his soul out. All heart and talent. 🙏
And they LOVED it!!
Less is more
This is by far THE.BEST.PERFORMANCE.EVAAAA on SNL, John Mayer added that extra swag we needed
travis one for astrothunder was nice too
this melted my soul
He's so good!
Sitting on my shitty apartment balcony, stoned, laughing out loud about how good this is. When he hits the highs, how can you not smile at the brilliance.
I stood in front of my tv and watched this live. Taking pictures like I was there.
When you so thrilled about this rare sight of Frank Ocean singing and going deep in it, and then suddenly your favorite artists stands is the shadows playing guitar and they’re both in one frame.

Song makes me feel some type of way fr
EXACTLY
💯❤️
I get chills, tears and heavy feeling in my chest! I love it!!!!!
Indeed ☺️❤️
One of my favorite songs in the entire world
From that first falsetto I was transported to heaven. Voice and delivery so pure.
I didn't even think much of Frank's voice, but this has completely changed my view of him. John Mayer complimented each section perfectly
Yeah this is so much better than his performance on record!
Finally someone upload back this masterpiece
ik i remember watching this when it came out
I think this is the best version there is of this song, and it's a bummer that the audio quality is so poor. It's 2023 and I still remember this performance. Absolutely priceless 👌
how is the audio quality poor? you're an idiot
I remember watching this live. Frank’s energy is insane.
Everything about this video is perfect
Tekken 3 in the background tho 👀👀
tekken 2 bro
@@roneldvelasquez767 both games are actually in the background. One machine is Tekken 2 one is Tekken 3
his SNL background set is absolutely incredible
This to me is one of the most powerful live performances I’ve ever seen. The emotion in his face, the limited movement with his hands…it’s powerful
this man is a genius. eternally grateful for his music. its truly timeless and he sounds the exact same live as the studio versions! my favorite artist hands down
Well, this made me cry today. I recently went through the passing of a girl I dated for a long time. She was my first love.
Oh im so sorry. How are you handling it
Well assuming he’s listening to frank ocean…
Hope you’re good my guy! Don’t forget to play some Drake once in a while
I listened to this song and cover for an entire year after seeing my then fiance battle an illness which ultimately led to his dismay… nothing else made sense but listening to this.
Frank Ocean Amazing, we need this genre of R & B alive and pumping thru our veins, minds, souls... the love and compassion ❤️
Why does this not have 100s of millions of views? This is a phenomenal live performance!
FINALLY 😭 I’ve been waiting for this vid to be reuploaded for YEARS
ohhh mygod i got chills everywhere at that high note
this is so special it still gives me chills all over my body
Best live performance on SNL. Hands down
I was too young and ignorant to appreciate this song at the zenith of my youth; but listening it now, it makes up for the lost time and making it all a worthwhile at the same time 💙💙💙
i feel the same way! always liked his stuff just never truly appreciated it this deeply
Can’t believe this has been almost 10 years, I love this performance!

Damn. Nostalgia hits like a truck. Great memories with this song.
Also I remember in high-school we had a talent show and this guy tried to perform this song. It was going great until the high notes... Let's just say that scraping chalk on the black board sounded better lol.
Like literally nostalgic. I remember driving hearing this on the radio and I was amazed
Nobody is going to say anything about John Mayer playing guitar in the background..as Frank serenades us..☺🤯
You wouldn't seen this montage ever again, this pure gem.
2022 and this still gives me chills immediately
I come back to this performance often. It’s magical and gives me chills
That high note is iconic.
One of the best live performances I've seen. This is my favorite version
This man is a timeless materpiece - shivers when he sings ❤️
Mayer playing lead for a Frank Ocean track.... our generations in good hands (:
