Lyrics
We came forward
Running backwards
No one mans a island
Shotgun riding for ya
Somehow we made it
Although jaded
Was it worth it all?
Could it be more?
Overdosing
At least I’m with my baby
We can’t get any higher
We can’t get past messiah
But we’re still chasing
For that feeling
Was it worth it all?
Could it be more?
And oh
What a way to die
Standing to eye to eye
Pretending we’re alive
As we grow colder
And oh
The devil that I know
Is better than the devil that I don’t
So we came forward
Running backwards
No one mans a island
Shotgun riding for ya
Somehow we made it
Although jaded
Was it worth it all?
Could it be more?

It's criminal just how short this song is 😔
Forealssss:(
I am genuinely mad!
@@mulugetakejela6126 me too...I want more.
@@cherrytina2847 You can blame the prevalence of streaming for that. The average length of the running time of songs has decreased as artists appeal to algorithms:

@@merlinmediagroup ookay, I get it now.. thanks 😊
His voice has a perfect mixture of soul and pain.. Impressed
are pain and soul not related somehow
Its more then that, goes to a whole new dimension
His voice speaks to my soul. I can't get enough of his music
NO CAUSE IM LITERALLY SO PROUD THAT THIS SONG BECAME A SOUNDTRACK FOR THE MOVIE CALLED MONSTER FROM NETFLIX, IM SO HAPPPYYYY, THIS SONG DESERVE A LOT OF RECOGNITION HONESTLY
It is such a brilliant song. Fell in love with instantly.
SERIOUSLY. So glad i have netflix and saw the trailer and fell in love with this song
I ALSO RECOGNISED THAT I PUT MONSTER IN MY LIST
Bro, when I saw the trailer for that movie with this song, I immediately put it on, it got me, man this song it's in another level
Yea me too
This song speaks to Settling in a relationship. Getting married and plateauing. Slowing dying over the years, growing apart. Forever chasing the feeling of the honeymoon stage when infatuation led the way. Looking back at the years wondering if all of this was worth the wasted miserable years. But "Devil the I know" and comfortable with is "better than the Devil that I dont". Might as well stick what what I know, scared of the unpredictable and unknown. Saying to yourself, "It could always be worst, right?"
I love your breakdown of the meaning. Makes me sad that it's what many people end up doing. As much as it makes sense for stabilities sake. I want soooo much more.
That’s what’s sad about today. Everyone thinks marriage is about feeling and emotions instead of commitment and love. Love isn’t a feeling it’s an act, when you make that commitment until death it don’t matter how bad you feel, how bored, how uninspired or not willing... it’s a constant COMMITMENT to put your spouse as high as yourself, seeing it from a perspective not of personal gain. When you get bored or tired of raising a child do you just leave the child? Do you tell the child they aren’t giving you enough? No, because you made a commitment. Marriage isn’t a right, it’s a privilege. It isn’t temporary, it’s forever...
@@iblameabel Best comment thus far👏🏽👏🏽
@@iblameabel fr..
yes and might I add, the guy on the horse who almost made the crash...that seemed to represent everything one would have to give up or maybe its temptation. Either way, it almost made them have an accident but they avoided it. But it all ends the same...ok now I am sad. 😀
To everyone listening to this song you’ve got a great taste in music. This is therapeutic in times like these. One of the most underrated musicians at this point
🙋♀️🇨🇵 Agree with you. If you don't know them I invite you to discover SKALD and WOODKID. French band and singers. Their new CD are now avaliable. It's not the same kind of music but they are so good. In these terrible times they help us. Be safe😷
Dadwethu... it hits the spot. Jacob Banks is the best.. listen to Hostage
Really underrated
Ditto
I found him today. Saw him on telly being interviewed and performing at the end of the show. Beautiful voice and song.
Here for the trailer of “Monster”...just magic.
👍🏾
me too ✋🥥
same broo
Samee
Yo name 🥴 did y’all see the way he looked at her after they passed that sign 🥴🥴🥴👹
This made me cry. It's been years since I felt such a strong bond to piece of art. I can't explain it. Thank you Jacob. This is special.
Exactly
this man knows how to give you goosebumps
You can say that again ♥️
This man is goosebumps irl
He needs to work something with giveon
Ennnit thooo
This ain’t no lie💖
I recently lost a friend to suicide, and this song has helped me through the pain.
She passed away, while our relationship wasn't in a good place.
I learned a lot from her, she meant a lot to me. We could not have been any more different, and we often argued, but I always wished the best for her. I experienced the highest and lowest period of my life with her. We strived to understand each other, and chased emotional connection, we went through a lot together, especially her struggles with depression.
We helped each other, and overcame a lot, but in the end, we became jaded. Even though it was destined to end, it was worth it all, I wouldn't take anything back. she was worth it all.
wow you just described me and my friends relationship exactly and I mean exactly, only she's still here but I don't know if that will last
❤
My heart goes out to you
jacob meditates on the concept of love and loss that runs through his songwriting. He forewarns of the cost of love, remarking how love is expensive and that it all comes to an end regardless of how you feel or what you want… particularly in relation to marginalised groups and conversations around oppression, he highlights that even though everything ends, something will always take its place.
That was longer than the song! But thanks for explaining it to me as I couldn’t work the meaning out for myself!
South Africa 🇿🇦 truly appreciate and approve 🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We do!!!🙂
Nostalgic 😭 all we need is an album my good sir.
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Imma need longer versions, cause this don't make no damn sense how your voice makes me feel ♥
South Africa approves ❤❤❤😍😍
Always ♥️🇿🇦
You're right❤
When is he coming this side vele?

@@thandolwethumpungose7040 A concert I would call in sick from work for 😂😂❤❤❤
I've never heard a singer that sings with so much emotion before. this is just amazing.
cannot stop listening to this magic. and cannot stop crying.
"Devil That I Know"
We came forward
Running backwards
No one man's a island
Shotgun riding for ya
Somehow we made it
Although jaded
Was it worth it all?
Could it be more?
Overdosing
At least I'm with my baby
We can't get any higher
We can't get past messiah
But we're still chasing
For that feeling
Was it worth it all?
Could it be more?
And oh
What a way to die
Standing eye to eye
Pretending we're alive
As we grow colder
And oh
The devil that I know
Is better than the devil that I don't
So we came forward
Running backwards
No one man's a island
Shotgun riding for ya
Somehow we made it
Although jaded
Was it worth it all?
Could it be more?
Jacob banks how did this come here
Thank you for posting these lyrics ❤🙏
What a beautiful song. Questioning the meaning of marriage, of taking risks in intimacy and setting goals for a mutual future , especially at a time of a wide world crisis.
How dare u... Only 2:44? We deserve more of this 🔥🔥🔥🔥
😂 I feel your pain
I know right? Same thing as "Like you never know me" way too short!
It’s always the shortest songs that are the best. Thank god for the replay button
Banks to the world❤️
rest easy spooky and abuelita 🕊
Show brought me here as well
“The devil that I know, is better than the devil that I don’t.”
I Really like that line.
This song sums up my past relationship, I had strong feelings to end it, but I just couldn't let go. All the years we have spent together, there's no way on earth i'd let that slide. Even though I could feel our values and goals drifting apart, i still stayed, until we couldn't stay no more. Is it more painful to let go when you're suppose to, or when you've invested so much time and letting go hurts deep inside. Well, it's been a year, and I'm glad we did. I only feel better now, i don't think the pain was worth it!
simple lyrics, yet packed with so much messages and interpretations.
Who are the relevant people that can make the SA 🇿🇦 concert a reality?? I personally am ready to be the promo guy please CONSIDER us 🙏(after the covid nonsense that is)..

This song brings me to the best form of tears. I’m proud of Jacob for moving the world with that Blues Anointed voice
Any South African fan here? 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I'm here honey
@@kgomotsoramabu5565 Oh Yes...
This song is exactly what I need right now. My heart is broken, we tried, but it wasn't enough. We tried and were too different. This song makes is what we felt, we were jaded, tired...we wondered if it would be worth it all. But sometimes letting is more loving than holding on.
Same. Keep your head up
I know this feeling all to well
The emotions I went through after listening to this song 💔
Same
"Welcome to the end. Don't drown"
Wow. Why does this make so much sense to me? 🥺🥺
oh ,what a beautiful song about falling out of love and regret .
Jacob banks criminally underrated
OMFG. The apocalyptic event at the end is .... perfect.
I'm ugly crying now..such a beautiful song
Pls just drop an album already😣😣🤤😩
This is the trailer bro lol
Came across this track from a trailer for monster .... cant stop playing on repeat, thank you Jacob Banks ... just beautiful ❤
For real. What a movie
The actor is in a masterpiece of a film called Waves, please watch it if u haven’t seen it yet 🙏🙌
@@coreycasciano3255 thank you just found it on netflix 👍
this is truly a masterpiece nothing else i can say especially if it makes a tear come down my face and give me chills 🙏
The tears just flow naturally😔❤
What would my life be without Jacob, so thankful❤
Ouuuuuuu this with headphones is a blessing. THIS VIBE IS ✨✨✨✨✨✨IMMACULATE✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
I don't know how your voice makes me wanna cry, I always have this big lump up in my throat whenever I listen to your music 😩😩❤
Literally crying. Sad & happy tears at the same time 🙃
"So we came forward, riding backwards." Life. ❤️
His voice, this song has my soul dancing back and forward like its battling love with a higher power.
I don't want this song to end.......Perfection 💯
this was on on my block at such a perfect time. I’m so happy they noticed talent
it was in which episode?
@@redmooninvenus_ ep 9 i think when oscar died
@@iCrazyRaise oh yeaaa tysm !!
Fun fact your the first to mention it :)
@@redmooninvenus_ episode 7 1:29
Man…Jacob Banks 💯 Seriously one of my favorite songs ever written.
Everything from the audio to the video. I love.
Here before the "who's here because of Monster on Netflix" comments.
His voice is amazing.
I swear I've loved every song you've ever sang and I couldn't help myself when I saw this new release, so lovely ❤️😍
As the world ended around them the one thing they seem to be sure of is the love they feel. In a time where our lives have become a mirror of their world the emotions in this video have shown me that even standing in the face of death, even with the devil riding down on you, as long as you are together you’ll find a way.
That is not what this song is about
@@r0nnie actually it is, as you see the two in the end were still with one another regardless of the death that came their way.
One million plus views isn't enough, the entire world needs to listen to this.
That moment when the music connects to your life eternally
This brother's voice is everything. I ❤your music.
For real doe
First heard this song in “On My Block”. My heart ❤️
"The devil that I know is better than the devil that I don't".. damn Jacob. I really hope that there will be a longer version of this.
I first heard this song in a PSA for the Reform Alliance. It is so beautiful..sad, and haunting. Makes me cry.
I don't understand the video, but I love it. The tension is wild. Shout out to Jacobs Banks and the actress in this video. Makes me want to see a feature length version.
Most slept on artist.
The devil that I know is better than the devil that I don't 🍻🍻
Am zambia a big hearted country in africa. This song gives me peace in my heart ache. A darkness that has been covered by different things to the point that I do not remember the start.
Gifted. This type comes around every few decades.. the word usage and meaning is out of planet. The subliminal subduction touches the fiber of one spirit.. I am thankful to have encountered this body of work...
Listening on repeat...This song is heartbreaking & so beautiful. Thanks Mr. Banks
Already tearing up and the song has barely started. Saving this for after work 😭
This is one of the greatest songs ever, I come back to it so often.
Yet MOST PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT
..Just know ill be forever playing this
One Love x
my god, nina Simone would be immensely proud to hear a song like this❤️ my god ... i can't stop crying ...
First person I thought of this harkening to was Ray Charles with the naked piano and minimalist synths.
Just wanted to say how unique and incredible yr voice is, WOW
If you here, congratulations 👏 you have a great taste in music ❤
Yes I do and so do you!👏🏽
I know, right?
I know right 😁 thanks and bless ya 🙏🏽☮️
You can say that again
How is it possible that every song he sings is perfect?
No words, just perfect.
Goosebumps when the song builds up to these lines
And oh, what a way to die/
Standing eye to eye/
Pretending we're alive as we grow colder/
And oh, the devil that I know/
Is better than the devil that I don't
Thanks “on my block”
overdosing with my "baby" cheers to ms bc. saved this life.
The haunting poetry😭😭
Your voice always make me feel nostalgic, embrace, safe and push me to think about life.
Your voice always make me feel nostalgic, embrace, safe and push me to think about life. love you so much
I think this song is simply living life... eye to eye with your soulmate... through it all... good and bad.

Ma chanson préférée dans l'univers....

Jesus is the way the truth and the life, No one gets to the Father but by him. Jesus died so that you can have everlasting life. Place your faith on Jesus. Trust Jesus.
God bless you all
Jesus pbuh is no more than a prophet of God .
@@haris6621 Jesus is your Eternal, Uncreated God:
Allah say seek refuge in only God:
If a provocation from the devil incites you, then seek refuge with God. He is the Hearer, the Knower. S. 7:200
And in his Word:
He said: Oh, had you said in the evening: "I take refuge IN THE PERFECT WORDS OF ALLAH from the evil of what He created," nothing would have harmed you, Allah willing. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 28, Number 3889; *)
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:
The Apostle of Allah used to teach them the following words in the case of alarm: I seek refuge IN ALLAH'S PERFECT WORDS from His anger, the evil of His servants, the evil suggestions of the devils and their presence. Abdullah ibn Amr used to teach them to those of his children who had reached puberty, and he wrote them down (on some material) and hung on the child who had not reached puberty. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 28, Number 3884; *)
And Jesus is the Word of God:
Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a WORD from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to God; S. 3:45
And the angels called to him, standing in the Sanctuary at worship, ‘Lo, God gives thee good tidings of John, who shall confirm a WORD of God (bi-kalimatin mina Allahi), a chief, and chaste, a Prophet, righteous.’ S. 3:39
O ye who have received the scriptures, exceed not the just bounds in your religion, neither say of God [any other] than the truth. Verily Christ Jesus the son of Mary [is] the apostle of God, and his WORD (wa-kalimatuhu), which he conveyed into Mary, and a spirit [proceeding] FROM him (wa-roohun minhu). Believe therefore in God, and his apostles, and say not, [there are] three [Gods]; forbear [this]; it will be better for you. God is but one God. Far be it from him that he should have a son. Q. 4:171
Because:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John1:1
Seek refuge in the Eternal, Uncreated Word of God Jesus Christ and you will not perish.
May God be with you
Jesus is Lord.
God bless you too💖
and oh
What a way to die
Standing eye to eye
Pretending we're alive
As we grow colder
😓
Jacob usually hits a soft spot
This is the kind of soul you can't find on the Radio🙌🤧😭😭❤️
ON MY BLOCK BROUGHT ME HERE
Que Hermosa canción y artista he descubierto 😯 saludos desde argentina 🇦🇷
let's talk about how this felt like a horror movie for a moment. You had a feeling that something bad is going to happen but they made it instead.♥️ May your love be like that too, all discouraging signs around but move forward and be the one to make it.🇿🇦
MR Jacob Banks, 2 minutes and 44 seconds touched my heart. Thank you sir.
Why is he soo underrated? Its 2022 and I only found this song because of "Monster" trailer that I watched yesterday- not fare. From the very first chords I could not watch, I could only hear his perfect, yet melancholic voice. Song blended with the movie trailer perfectly and I said to myself its not the movie I wanna watch, its the song I want to have on repeat. I will always remember "Monster" because of THIS song. Jacob, you made my day, I found you today and thank you for being YOU
"What a way to die....
Standing eye to eye.....
...Somehow we made it"💙
although jaded
The video looks like a weird dream...kuddos to the director❤
This song touches my entire soul, so beautiful..........
Saw notification and picked up the phone with shaking hands lmao
This man is everything
You dont even know how much youre misic has helped me thru the years man, you’re an inspiration
This song is so perfect. Wish it was longer but I feel like the length of the song is perfect
Love, love, love this.
He's about to drop an album y'all. 😍😭
I'll defintely be buying it.. and I don't buy albums.. but I'll buy his!!!
I jsut saved this song to my playlist last night. I haven't be able to stop playing it on repeat. I dont know any of his songs but like right now he's my favorite artist ive found recently
Came across this as I searched for something else, I'm not in a great place so I'm a little emotional but this was a beautifully melancholy surprise. Great song and video.
So beautiful this song and video, thank you for sharing and creating this period the love between us couple is absolute precious
