The fact it starts off with him taking her for a ride and the lyrics are him playing her. Then it switches to her taking him for a ride after she's kissed him the symbolism in the video and the lyrics describe that emotional situation so perfectly
Damn you can hear the sheer emotion and anger in his voice....a lyrical poet/rapper, actor, writer, director, singer, producer....is there anything this man CAN'T do? He has more talent in one finger then most people in their whole body😏🤣
That’s so randomly awesome u commented this, I did a double take while watching it this time bc it’s been a while since I’ve seen it, I thought it was him for a second. On the second take I realized it wasn’t and read this maybe five secs later.
this song feels and reminds me of young love. when your sneaking off with whomever. in the back of a car, movie theater anywhere you can have a little privacy with the person you want most. this song reminds me of that feeling of excitement and a hint of adrenaline the same way those situations feel.
The representation of who has the control of the relationship by who is in the drivers seat metaphor is beautifully executed; it falls perfectly with the emotional rise and fall. From total control and manipulation, to realization of his feelings, then the lash out and anger.
Gambino driving while his girl's in the back symbolizes him taking charge and playing an active role in the first part of their relationship, while she still remains distant from him. Then after they hook up and he catches feelings, she leaves him behind (in the backseat feeling helpless) and gets behind the wheel so to speak and drives off to see another guy.
So if you're confused about the weird censoring, my friend explained it to me so if anyone's confused. It's Gambino being Gambino He's taking a jab at censorship by censoring stuff that doesn't need to be censored; they didn't censor 'sex', but censored 'artichoke' and 'inside' It's a jab at free speech
I came across this song in High school right after a break up and probably the exact moment I started to really feel the effects of depression. His real lyrics and the emotional weight resonated with me then and still resonate with me now
I had heard of Childish Gambino before....started binge watching Community a while ago and googled it, found out he left the show to pursue his music career....he is a troubled soul but extremely talented!!
He's actually said in interviews that's not why he left. He said it would be stupid to just halt his acting career to pursue his musical one and that the reason he left had nothing to do with his music.
yozypost Read it could be true it couldnt cause you didnt see it come out his mouth be he actually said though it wasnt because of alone time he just wanted to do something else for a while actually
This very day... I remember this song that was lost in time.. How did I end up here again.. by watching a show and all the actor did was wake up, hit the 6 am clock, brush teeth, do yard work, eat dinner, sleep and showing the time at 11:56 and repeats this for almost a whole min... and during that moment all i heard was a song in my head ( not even the song the show was playing which is the crazy part! ).. I google the few keywords " I am read to go my heart beat. " and here i am again. Now I have past memories and feelings and tears. The power of music. Timeless music... that is the power you have.. that power of voice and sound. Never forget that.
Anyone in December 2024 this song is 13 years old and its still soo good and so popular literally my fav song ever its soo good fr like beat drops and the emotion ate.
How tf would you hate him? Dude is the definition of likeable and loveable and is talented in so many ways lol. The only people I can see hating him is racists....like straight up
This video -- 1. He starts talking to her again after a break up, she has rebound sex with him. 2. They continue but he's unsure (doesn't speak when she is around) 3. He is sure and they get back together and have sex 4. Her sex is like a drug to him, so he stays 5. She "leaves the backseat and gets into the driver's seat" of the relationship 6. He is now trapped in her web and is now her side guy. 7. He escapes & breaks up whatever they had going. 8. Repeat
This song always made me think of my ex and...not just because of the song lyrics but the feeling of it and you kind of just blew my mind with your breakdown of it all.
Alternate Lyrics: I wanted you to know That I am ready to go, our Nerf fight, Our Nerf fight, I wanted you to know I bring my N-Strike thunder, to kick ass To kick ass [Verse 1] I know how you dress like Yellow gun and a blue vest You go and wear Velcro Count the darts on your chest doe I might just shoot you Turning the corner, see my blue thunder, No settling down, my swag all in your face Running like YOLO I come around when you least expect me I'm perchin in the tree when you’re loadin ammo You thinking that you’re safe with your squad to shoot first You need to be alone like divide and conquer You start running, low on ammo I jump over, fully loaded I will find you The prey that I now see But the rest of your team, isn't half bad The ref says "It ain’t fair" That's code for "You’re swag high" And I'mma fill up my clip now With yellow bullets and black ones So we run, till we find, a noob or two All the points that we thought we were losing I'm a ghost and you know this That's why I went pro in the first place Cause [Hook x2] [Verse 2] It's late night Friday You know that I see you But you don't want to get wrecked We’ll see about that now So I'm sniping with my LONGSTRIKE But I can’t see my target I got a scope on my gun but It ain’t that Gucci Swaying, so skilless Shoot the wrong dart and on the trees I’m commin' They paranoid cuz they know I’m a Nerf master And it's hard to make a shot go a 10 feet out And dis noob freakin' out his new hair Paint it black, so you can’t see me in the dark Cause you fear what you can’t see or hear Slipped off in the shadows, good stealthness? Pro? Noob Juke me out like he’s gonna run away With no darts on his shirt soon, but none of them do I miss the times when they fight just so they could lose Domination is the only win for me You was wrong, but my swag is just too high for you? Uh, you’re a new noob I got a dart, I’ll use it on you It’s that feeling that I get when I destroy you too [Hook x2] [Verse 3] So you're done? Pussy out that quick? You used to be a man and take the hits I'm a pro, but your skill isn’t that sick I saw you’re K/D now I’m feelin sick You ain't cool, you suck and all that I’m the one you should really be looking at LONGSTRIKE see all that’s there I'm going straight for your head for that triple kill I give a fuck about the heads that you say you capped You know that I’m the best when I’m up in the trees I'm the best that you’ve seen, face it Blow your head off with my MAVRICK, one-shot I let you run, but you too slow, like you’re a fatass I ain't a noob, but I’ll chase you down in silence I know you wondering, "Where the fuck he hiding?" That you think that I am like Bin Laden Ayo, fuck this Am I sniping? Am I shotguning? Are we fiends now? Are we something in between that? I wish we never played, and I mean that But not really, you suck so hard and it’s really funny to me
his net worth is 4.5 million which for a rapper is really impressive considering kid cudi (my personal favorite rapper donald being my second) is only at 3.5 million and big sean is at 2 million. however as an actor on community its fairly low, joel mchale(jeff), alison brie (annie), chevy chase, and ken jeong all have him beat which is very bad considering all they do is act while donald also raps. Most of them are substantially older except alison which is unfair because shes a hot brunette. sorry this is kinda pointless and i am sure full of grammer errors just felt like sharing my 5 minutes of research
brandon spitler lil wayne 135 mill . eminem 140 mill . jay z 500 mill . TI 50 mill . soulja boy 23 mill . rick ross 28 mill . kendrick lamar 10 mill . Drake 30 mill ... its not that impressive . Gambino is a good artist tho

Right? Wrong Askin' him if she wanna play games With the super smash brothers, but none of them you I miss the sex when you kiss whenever you through Sixty-nine is the only dinner for two I was wrong, but would you have listened to you?

We used to hold hands like field trips I'm a jerk, but your dude is a real dick I read his posts on your wall and I feel sick He ain't cool, he ball and all that But he just a fake nigga who blog in all caps You couldn't wait to date I'm going straight for your thighs like the cake you ate I give a fuck about the niggas that you say you hate You know that I’m the best when I’m affectionate I'm the best that you had, face it J and Keyshia are related, racist I give you money, then you burn it, like you made off She ain't a killer, but she'd fucking blow your head off I know he wondering, "What the fuck you hiding?" That we dated like raps about Bin Laden Ayo, fuck this Are we dating? Are we fucking? Are we best friends? Are we something in between that? I wish we never fucked, and I mean that But not really, you say the nastiest shit in bed and it’s fuckin’ awesome
this song means so much to me. I remember my moms old boyfriend introducing it to me back in 2016, and me thinking it was the greatest song ever. This man meant very much to me and my sister, and it hurt us a lot when they broke up, and I still get flashbacks when I hear this song.

Tbh I still before pre-2015 childish gambino over post-2015 him. I maybe over exaggerating but I preferred the angsty, edgy music as well as the flow and wordplay. All he does now is just sings.
+TheTobiFiles He kills the verses, and that bass line is dooope. Two thumbs: way up, way up. Btw check out my channel if you like; I'm a rapper, just started.
I didn't like him before but I have to say he kind of grew on me. Now I find him extremely relevant and interesting, he is of the same new breed as Kendrick. And I think he is very underrated for some reason,.
Cj Blinks hard to say, he might get enough publicity but I still see hateful comments about him here and there, while everybody loves Kendrick. that was my point
I don't normally go on emotional lines of thought on RUclips, but there's no one else to talk to right now (since my brother is sleeping and I don't have a phone temporarily) and this video really got to me. I can relate to this video emotionally because I draw a lot of parallels between the scene depicted and my last relationship. Everything about the video says that the two characters hate each other but date anyways. Even though whichever girl Donald was with at the time probably sat in the front when they drove, the idea of having her sit in the back seat is genius; it shows that even though they're physically close together, they're extremely far apart mentally and emotionally. I also thought that the "sex scene" was pretty clever and expressive. Obviously the two of them only made out in the video but to me it implies that something else could have happened. During my last relationship we had sex in the backseat all the time. It was what we would do during almost every date. I'm not saying Donald had sex in his car after every date, but where they did it is trivial. The fact of the matter is that the girl just leaves him after they're done. You can tell through his facial expressions that he still wants to be close to her, physically, sexually, emotionally, but she's done with him. I'm not portraying Donald or I as selfish but staying around a little while longer shouldn't be too hard for the other party. Sure the two of them smile at each other every now and then but it's heartbreaking for me to see that they only look at each other for brief seconds then stare somewhere else with a different line of thought. Maybe we're all villains in our relationships. What you want might be different from what the other person wants but neither of your are universally wrong in wanting something else. But when you stop taking the other person's feelings into consideration, you become the real asshole. It shouldn't matter what anyone thinks but have some fucking empathy, seriously. Everyone's an asshole in someone's perspective. PS I also like the use of hot Cheetos to illustrate that the relationship may have been during Gambino's adolescence, when he and his ex were younger and enjoyed childish foods. (me and my ex ate hot cheetos a lot too haha. just saying) PSS I heard this song freshman year (2011) and I hated it, but now that I'm a senior I can finally interpret it in a more personal way. Thank you Troy.
Donglover is actually trying to depict how far greater he is mentally from his girlfriends and how the only intimate parts of his relationships is the sex. He is also playing 'the boy' so this is during his adolescence, probably 12-18. The character 'the boy' is suppose to show a human Daedra in early stages of life in early 2000s - 2020s. He is also using a present day relationship as a metaphor for this though.
I remember watching MTV music awards when this video was nominated. I heard this song and IMMEDIATELY was obsessed with Childish. Was so good seeing him back then at Coachella 2012! Been obsessed since
This really hits hard now, broke up last month, but kept hooking up every weekend and acting like everything was fine. We blocked each other a couple days ago and there's a massive whole where the enjoyment of talking to her used to be

Gambino driving while his girl's in the back symbolizes him taking charge and playing an active role in the first part of their relationship, while she still remains distant from him. Then after they hook up and he catches feelings, she leaves him behind (in the backseat feeling helpless) and gets behind the wheel so to speak and drives off to see another guy.

He's actually said in interviews that's not why he left. He said it would be stupid to just halt his acting career to pursue his musical one and that the reason he left had nothing to do with his music.
I read in interviews he pursued music and quit acting purely because he wanted alone time.

"Wanna Play Games With Em' Super Smash Brothers"
That line was what got me into Gambino^^
what does it mean?
Leeny Lee
You know the game Super Smash Bros?
JoJoXGamer yea, who doesn't lol.
Maybe because he is a geek? And geeks like geeks? Idk imma geek and i like him.
still dont know what he meant...
I remember i used to hate this guy, then I heard this song recently, now I just love him.
hi how are you
I’m not kidding this is the first time I’ve ever heard someone say they hate Donald glover
@@qarcon3247 i didn’t think it was possible
@@chaxi155 me neither
How tf would you hate him? Dude is the definition of likeable and loveable and is talented in so many ways lol. The only people I can see hating him is racists....like straight up
timeless. sounds like it could of been released yesterday. I miss this Gambino
same.
Только досмотрел Атланту, это просто дикий сериал.От финала башка взорвалась.Гловер такой талантливый, удивительный человек конечно
Everyone knows the real him has three names, Childish Gambino, Donald Glover and Troy
Plus mcDJ
Plus lando calrissian
Plus Earn (Atlanta)
the holy trinity , the father , the son , and the holy spirit.
😃
I love how in every video you can see Donalds playful, goofy and funny personality.
Ummm lol
2:10
I swear music is truly one of the only timeless things in existence, 10 years later song still hits the same.
WE SPINNING A WHEEL WITH THIS ONE🗣🗣🗣
Winner gets + power
This video --
1. He starts talking to her again after a break up, she has rebound sex with him.
2. They continue but he's unsure (doesn't speak when she is around)
3. He is sure and they get back together and have sex
4. Her sex is like a drug to him, so he stays
5. She "leaves the backseat and gets into the driver's seat" of the relationship
6. He is now trapped in her web and is now her side guy.
7. He escapes & breaks up whatever they had going.
8. Repeat
glad u caught that too lol
Lol
Well Played!
Benjamin Matheny fuck....
This song always made me think of my ex and...not just because of the song lyrics but the feeling of it and you kind of just blew my mind with your breakdown of it all.
Alternate Lyrics:
I wanted you to know
That I am ready to go, our Nerf fight,
Our Nerf fight,
I wanted you to know
I bring my N-Strike thunder, to kick ass
To kick ass
[Verse 1]
I know how you dress like
Yellow gun and a blue vest
You go and wear Velcro
Count the darts on your chest doe
I might just shoot you
Turning the corner, see my blue thunder,
No settling down, my swag all in your face
Running like YOLO
I come around when you least expect me
I'm perchin in the tree when you’re loadin ammo
You thinking that you’re safe with your squad to shoot first
You need to be alone like divide and conquer
You start running, low on ammo
I jump over, fully loaded
I will find you
The prey that I now see
But the rest of your team, isn't half bad
The ref says "It ain’t fair"
That's code for "You’re swag high"
And I'mma fill up my clip now
With yellow bullets and black ones
So we run, till we find, a noob or two
All the points that we thought we were losing
I'm a ghost and you know this
That's why I went pro in the first place
Cause
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2]
It's late night Friday
You know that I see you
But you don't want to get wrecked
We’ll see about that now
So I'm sniping with my LONGSTRIKE
But I can’t see my target
I got a scope on my gun but
It ain’t that Gucci
Swaying, so skilless
Shoot the wrong dart and on the trees I’m commin'
They paranoid cuz they know I’m a Nerf master
And it's hard to make a shot go a 10 feet out
And dis noob freakin' out his new hair
Paint it black, so you can’t see me in the dark
Cause you fear what you can’t see or hear
Slipped off in the shadows, good stealthness?
Pro? Noob
Juke me out like he’s gonna run away
With no darts on his shirt soon, but none of them do
I miss the times when they fight just so they could lose
Domination is the only win for me
You was wrong, but my swag is just too high for you?
Uh, you’re a new noob
I got a dart, I’ll use it on you
It’s that feeling that I get when I destroy you too
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3]
So you're done? Pussy out that quick?
You used to be a man and take the hits
I'm a pro, but your skill isn’t that sick
I saw you’re K/D now I’m feelin sick
You ain't cool, you suck and all that
I’m the one you should really be looking at
LONGSTRIKE see all that’s there
I'm going straight for your head for that triple kill
I give a fuck about the heads that you say you capped
You know that I’m the best when I’m up in the trees
I'm the best that you’ve seen, face it
Blow your head off with my MAVRICK, one-shot
I let you run, but you too slow, like you’re a fatass
I ain't a noob, but I’ll chase you down in silence
I know you wondering, "Where the fuck he hiding?"
That you think that I am like Bin Laden
Ayo, fuck this
Am I sniping? Am I shotguning?
Are we fiends now? Are we something in between that?
I wish we never played, and I mean that
But not really, you suck so hard and it’s really funny to me
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL that 1st verse is tooo much
I've never been so impressed by a guy rapping about Nerf
bruh
McNugget bruh
please someone cover this with these lyrics lmao
3:54 aww I heart you too Gambino
Perfection at its greatest form
Man, words can’t describe how much this song means to me
Ok
Gambino you must be soo rich man! musician, actor, writer, comedian, you goin in!
his net worth is 4.5 million which for a rapper is really impressive considering kid cudi (my personal favorite rapper donald being my second) is only at 3.5 million and big sean is at 2 million. however as an actor on community its fairly low, joel mchale(jeff), alison brie (annie), chevy chase, and ken jeong all have him beat which is very bad considering all they do is act while donald also raps. Most of them are substantially older except alison which is unfair because shes a hot brunette. sorry this is kinda pointless and i am sure full of grammer errors just felt like sharing my 5 minutes of research
brandon spitler lil wayne 135 mill . eminem 140 mill . jay z 500 mill . TI 50 mill . soulja boy 23 mill . rick ross 28 mill . kendrick lamar 10 mill . Drake 30 mill ... its not that impressive . Gambino is a good artist tho
its not just about the money,but also expressing yourself artistically.
Zach Grammer Fuck soulja boy !
Its funny because nobody here knows who you really are.
Am I the only one who feels like a straight boss every time I watch/listen to this?
Nah
You shouldnt, this version is censored haha
Haha im done ^
Geoffrey Kidder lmao
TimeLapse54321 You're the only one. THIS SONG SUCKS DICK.
this song is so beautiful that without this song I don’t want to exist
[Hook 2x]
I wanted you to know
That I am ready to go, heartbeat
My heartbeat
I wanted you to know
Whenever you are around, can't speak
I can't speak
[Verse 1]
I know what your boy like
Skinny tie and a cuff tight
He go and make breakfast
You walk around naked
I might just text you
Turn your phone over, when it's all over
No settling down, my text go to your screen
You know better than that
I come around when you least expect me
I'm sitting at the bar when your glass is empty
You thinking that the songs coming on to tempt me
I need to be alone like the way you left me
You start calling, you start crying
I come over, I'm inside you
I can't find you
The girl that I once had
But the sex that we have, isn't half bad
Text say that "It's not fair"
That's code for "He's not here"
And I'mma flirt with this new girl
And I'mma call if it don't work
So we fuck, till we come, to conclusions
All the things that we thought we were losing
I'm a ghost and you know this
That's why we broke up in the first place
Cause
[Hook 2x]
[Verse 2]
It's late night Thursday
I know that you heard me
But you don't want the same thing
Well two can play that game
So I'm chilling with my girlfriend
But she not my real girlfriend
She got a key to my place but
She not my real girlfriend
Stupid, so dummy
Say the wrong thing and wrong girls come runnin'
I'm paranoid that these girls want something from me
And it's hard to make a dime go one hundred
And my dude freakin' out over a worse fate
She on time, but she late for their first date
Cause he went and tried out a new condom
Slipped off in a threesome, good problems?
Right? Wrong
Askin' him if she wanna play games
With the super smash brothers, but none of them you
I miss the sex when you kiss whenever you through
Sixty-nine is the only dinner for two
I was wrong, but would you have listened to you?
Uh, you were crazy
I got a heart, but the artichoke
Is only thing girls want when you in that smokin' light
[Hook 2x]
[Verse 3]
So we're done? This the real shit?
We used to hold hands like field trips
I'm a jerk, but your dude is a real dick
I read his posts on your wall and I feel sick
He ain't cool, he ball and all that
But he just a fake nigga who blog in all caps
You couldn't wait to date
I'm going straight for your thighs like the cake you ate
I give a fuck about the niggas that you say you hate
You know that I’m the best when I’m affectionate
I'm the best that you had, face it
J and Keyshia are related, racist
I give you money, then you burn it, like you made off
She ain't a killer, but she'd fucking blow your head off
I know he wondering, "What the fuck you hiding?"
That we dated like raps about Bin Laden
Ayo, fuck this
Are we dating? Are we fucking?
Are we best friends? Are we something in between that?
I wish we never fucked, and I mean that
But not really, you say the nastiest shit in bed and it’s fuckin’ awesome
Holy shit the sex references here are like a bunch of sophisticated 8th graders' English final. I love it
I like the random censoring though lol
@Max u read minds too huh? The censored and uncut parts are child's play to u
Szzzez,
To this day I still think about that little hop at 0:15
11 years and it still hits hard
Fr this song has INF ap
12 years still fresh damn
this song means so much to me. I remember my moms old boyfriend introducing it to me back in 2016, and me thinking it was the greatest song ever. This man meant very much to me and my sister, and it hurt us a lot when they broke up, and I still get flashbacks when I hear this song.

Based lyrics poster
I don’t know why these people hatin, it’s just lyrics gawd damn
This is good, but it's stunning how much he's evolved as an artist since this.
Oh boy ur in for a suprise
Tbh I still before pre-2015 childish gambino over post-2015 him. I maybe over exaggerating but I preferred the angsty, edgy music as well as the flow and wordplay. All he does now is just sings.
Mike Hank his new music is great but I definitely agree with you, I loved his wordplay heavy music that went hard
The man has more talent than anyone deserves. This song is super catchy but the lyric dont mean as much as his newer songs.
To a point at least
This guy goes trough every emotion in every sound crazy
Dante...❤❤❤
Wow this is pure Nostalgia for me. Wish Gambino released more stuff like this like he did back in the day.
He’s supposed to release a new album this year I think

12 years later and still a banger. Gambino is a genius.
I can't believe this song is almost a decade old. It's still the jam
This song gives me such a nostalgic feeling
It sounds like Somo

+Hunter Campbell whoosh
You’re on your last quarter! And this song comes on = new high score
I didn't like him before but I have to say he kind of grew on me. Now I find him extremely relevant and interesting, he is of the same new breed as Kendrick. And I think he is very underrated for some reason,.
Cj Blinks hard to say, he might get enough publicity but I still see hateful comments about him here and there, while everybody loves Kendrick. that was my point
Cj Blinks yeah but that's really only recently on this album, his old stuff, llike this, was not hyped much at all
the fact that this song was made 11 years ago and is better than most new songs just shows that music is timeless
Fr bro
Most songs from 11 to 12 years ago hit hard.
This is the dopest thing i’ve heard in like a decade

SO hard. Cannot believe I was a junior in high school when this came out.
Yeah it does. I was in 8th grade when I heard this song. Can’t believe it’s been that long.

12 year old banger still hits hard.
I don't normally go on emotional lines of thought on RUclips, but there's no one else to talk to right now (since my brother is sleeping and I don't have a phone temporarily) and this video really got to me. I can relate to this video emotionally because I draw a lot of parallels between the scene depicted and my last relationship. Everything about the video says that the two characters hate each other but date anyways. Even though whichever girl Donald was with at the time probably sat in the front when they drove, the idea of having her sit in the back seat is genius; it shows that even though they're physically close together, they're extremely far apart mentally and emotionally. I also thought that the "sex scene" was pretty clever and expressive. Obviously the two of them only made out in the video but to me it implies that something else could have happened. During my last relationship we had sex in the backseat all the time. It was what we would do during almost every date. I'm not saying Donald had sex in his car after every date, but where they did it is trivial. The fact of the matter is that the girl just leaves him after they're done. You can tell through his facial expressions that he still wants to be close to her, physically, sexually, emotionally, but she's done with him. I'm not portraying Donald or I as selfish but staying around a little while longer shouldn't be too hard for the other party. Sure the two of them smile at each other every now and then but it's heartbreaking for me to see that they only look at each other for brief seconds then stare somewhere else with a different line of thought. Maybe we're all villains in our relationships. What you want might be different from what the other person wants but neither of your are universally wrong in wanting something else. But when you stop taking the other person's feelings into consideration, you become the real asshole. It shouldn't matter what anyone thinks but have some fucking empathy, seriously. Everyone's an asshole in someone's perspective.
PS I also like the use of hot Cheetos to illustrate that the relationship may have been during Gambino's adolescence, when he and his ex were younger and enjoyed childish foods. (me and my ex ate hot cheetos a lot too haha. just saying)
PSS I heard this song freshman year (2011) and I hated it, but now that I'm a senior I can finally interpret it in a more personal way. Thank you Troy.
It doesn't matter if anyone reads this. I just needed a medium to get these feelings off of my chest haha.
I've been through this too man. Keep your head up it gets better.
Tori B thanks. it means a lot, really. it's great to know that i'm not the only person going through typa shit haha
I love how You're So open minded. And best of luck for you later on !
Donglover is actually trying to depict how far greater he is mentally from his girlfriends and how the only intimate parts of his relationships is the sex. He is also playing 'the boy' so this is during his adolescence, probably 12-18. The character 'the boy' is suppose to show a human Daedra in early stages of life in early 2000s - 2020s.
He is also using a present day relationship as a metaphor for this though.
I remember watching MTV music awards when this video was nominated. I heard this song and IMMEDIATELY was obsessed with Childish. Was so good seeing him back then at Coachella 2012! Been obsessed since
You start calling, you start crying
I come over, I'm inside you
I can't find you
Thirsty bruv?
I just discovered this song in September 2024 and I thought he did this in like the 2020s i cant believe it’s 12 years old
11 years later and this song still makes me cry.
D:
Maybe somewhere out there even a devil may cry when he loses a loved one. Don't you think?
DEVIL MAY CRY
What about the song makes you cry? How does it Invoke that emotion in you?

This really hits hard now, broke up last month, but kept hooking up every weekend and acting like everything was fine. We blocked each other a couple days ago and there's a massive whole where the enjoyment of talking to her used to be
There also seems to be a massive hole in your English. JKJK
Yo - hang in there - this was me and my former girls song for our break up - It will gets worse and then it will get better.

Same shit here but we broke up 4 months ago and stopped talking like 3 weeks ago.... so this son is kinda hitting hard
