frank is one of the most sensitive and talented male artists in recent years, the way he transforms his songs into poetry is special and rare, he needs to get back into the music scene urgently!
Believe me or don’t but my friend works on movies and has been at places where jimmy fallon has been and he is genuinely always super excited about everything
I remember having this song on repeat in high school bc I couldn’t relate to anyone & I was suppressing my sexuality in fear of condemnation. 10 years later, & I’ve definitely come a long way. I came out & I’m so much more comfortable & secure with who I am. This masterpiece of a song holds a special place in my heart.
“this unrequited love” frank loves a man, but others hate for the love, the love is unrequited i didn’t think about it like that until this live version
"Perfect live performances don't exist" Well, guess some people still not found this diamond. Frank is one of the most talented musicians over the recent years. Hope he drops some music in the future. Miss him so much.
since the other person didnt explain, this song is about how religion makes people who like the same sex feel icky/wrong. "If it brings me to my knees" is a double entendre, one for prayer, one for oral sex@@beowulf_bateman
It’s so funny how people say “this is disrespecting religion” did your religion ever attempt to validate homosexuality once? No, that’s why he wrote this. Stop acting like your religion actually respects him for what he is
Taxi driver Be my shrink for the hour Leave the meter running It's rush hour So take the streets if you wanna Just outrun the demons, could you? He said, "Allahu akbar" I told him, "Don't curse me" "Bo Bo, you need prayer" I guess it couldn't hurt me If it brings me to my knees It's a bad religion (ooh-ooh) This unrequited love To me, it's nothing but a one-man cult And cyanide in my styrofoam cup I can never make him love me Never make him love me Love me Love me Love me Love me Love me Love me Love me Love me Love me Love Taxi driver, I swear I've got three lives Balanced on my head like steak knives I can't tell you the truth about my disguise I can't trust no one And you say, "Allahu akbar" I told him, "Don't curse me" "Bo Bo, you need prayer" I guess it couldn't hurt me If it brings me to my knees It's a bad religion, oh-oh Unrequited love To me, it's nothing but a one-man cult And cyanide in my styrofoam cup I can never make him love me Never make him love me No, no, ah It's a, it's a bad religion To be in love with someone who could never love you Oh-oh-oh, only bad, only bad religion Could have me feeling the way I do
People really aren't truly listening to the song the song is him telling a story to a cab driver who is of Islamic faith and the Cab driver offering prayer to him... But it is song about love and the religion of love itself.... The pain of loving someone who you love so much and the other person doesn't or can't.... It hurts more than anything it is painful
I genuinely love frank ocean so much his music literally is so beautiful and his voice his just so raw and beautiful and filled with genuine emotion. He truly inspires me so much
@@deafbabyz_he didn’t, he talked about how he saw it, everyone is different & have different experiences. You donlt know why he song this song, so you can’t juge just bc for you it’s something incredible …
Kids before you hire a vocal coach to perfect your singing tone, consider this, your wrong pitch can become super unique in your music let time perfect your craft you’ll obviously learn and become better but your sound staying as true and authentic original makes music sound so amazing sometimes
Frank is one of my most favorite artists! Plz bring us more of your genius works of art. We been waiting and will continue to do so. If you're not in awe of this musician you don't know about Frank !!!
Frank is an exceptional and perceptive male artist of recent times, his ability to weave songs into poetic masterpieces is unique and precious. His absence from the music scene is deeply felt, and he ought to make a swift comeback.
Lol you Muslim? I don't think so they done well sell the new Islam and Islamic phobias . I'm sure u never read the Quran im not telling you do it i just don't feel sad anymore about who says i was Muslim but bla bla bla and im sure he never read or know about Islam
I am only gay for one man
lol. same
I don’t believe you lol jk I feel that
Ayye yoo lol

no same
It’s not. It’s creepy….seek help
nah bc id die for him w no hesitation
One of my favorite songs ...
That's a bad religion for sure.
man frank sounds the same as his studio recording what a talented man he is!!!
They are still mixing him live. You can hear it but almost just as good as the studio version.

Not a fan of Jimmy fallons fake attitude towards everyone but I genuinely feel like he likes frank a lot…
He goes for that handshake lik "dude wtf was that, i heard you were good, but i didn't though you were that good"
i mean he's a showhost he's obliged to put on a fit because he can't straight up go and be blunt to a guest
@@wellmorza3467 read the first part ffs

@@tuskisatti5003 grape vine mangos peaches and limes
wow, that string section sent me into hysterical tears. so fucking beautiful.
Better than the album version imo. Honestly props to the sound person, they killed it.
“this unrequited love” frank loves a man, but others hate for the love, the love is unrequited
i didn’t think about it like that until this live version
It can also meant your love for religion but religion doesn’t love you back because you’re gay
The latter in part explains the former - we’ve all been colonized
Man Frank had everybody in their feelings during his run lol
His tone is perfection, his vibrato, art; the emotion is spine tingling and the lyrics read like a poem. Others artists pale before this man
i come back to this video atleast three times a month and i cry everytime
omg finally an HD version!
Thanks for bringing this back on HD.
I have a deep crush on Frank Ocean, and this song is everything.
I have a crush too lol

@@Carlover19538 of course he does.
"Bad Religion" talks about a faiied relationship with another man. It says
"I can't make him love me"

Agreed, one of the best
lmao this comment made me laugh so much
This is the stupidest song this great planet had ever to suffer.
What a cringe comment lmaoo
I'm here for 2:42 - 3:23 ... Always hits differently.
his voice is so beautiful i can’t even describe it
Jimmy Fallon is the only person in the world to have a channel orange vinyl😔
I have one I didn’t know it was rare till recently and it was like the same price as any other vinyl so it’s pretty cool
Holy fuck what a vinyl to have
@@gracerobinson1109 you have a fake one, there was never any official release
those are usually just printed album covers that he displays before performances not vinyls

Talent, sensibility and honesty.
Thank you so damn much for posting this in HD

10 years ago today, Frank Ocean gave us this iconic debut album🍊 with the mesmerizing song Bad Religion
????
This is my favorite thing in the whole entire world its so beautiful
never have i ever had goosebumps for 5 mins straight
this guy sounds just like he does on the record
Nah, he sounds better
It’s so funny how people say “this is disrespecting religion” did your religion ever attempt to validate homosexuality once? No, that’s why he wrote this. Stop acting like your religion actually respects him for what he is
I cannot listen to a single song of his without crying
even lost?
still one of his best peformances ever imo
I remember watching this when it aired as a kid. Had never even heard of him at the time, and 12 years later he’s one of my favorite artists
A Frank ocean tiny desk concert would bring world peace fr
We need a tour from this man, with a full band and orchestra
his voice makes me feel some type of way
I always end up right back here. Sad or joyous or indifferent. I LOVE THIS SONG AND PERFORMANCE 🧡🧡🧡
i just shed a couple thousand tears
2:41 IF IT BRINGS ME TO MY KNEEEEEEESSSSSSSS ITS A BAD RELIGION AHHHOWWWHAWWW
I loved that he watched the violinists have a solo, love Frank Ocean
i LOVE this version! i need this on spotify and new frank music !!
Still here after Coachella when shit hit the fan im still a fan
