I really like these visuals because they show nostalgia for the past, but at the same time, all of these scenes could have been filmed recently. It's just day to day life captured with an old camera. There's magic in today, too
One of the greatest instrumentals. Wanted to ask what I should search up and what genre this would fit into if I wanted more songs like this one. Overall eargasmic
Dear Buddy Ross! It's been five years since Blonde has been available! Thank you again for creating such light, magic, psychedelic, and mellow tunes! Without it we'll never meet a better Blonde album! I've been lovin' "Be yourself" for 5 years out of its instrumental, it's also the song I regard as recourse when feeling confused about life, plights and choices.It always cures, softens and melts my heart...thank you Buddy, thank you.
Funny how a song can bring me to such a sad and happy place all at once. I guess it’s just remembering parts of my own life and people I’ve loved, lost and will never forget.
Everytime i listen to this song i feel like coming home after a long night with friends you havent seen in a while something oddly familiar and very important
I don't know why but this song just brings all the good memories that where hidden away and forget back, such a beautiful melody that brings out the beauty hidden within.
Hey Buddy Ross finding this video accompanying the song has made my day. Something about this is just so pristine to me that it makes me well up a little bit. Makes me feel a certain type of way. Looking forward to hearing any future projects you may have. Thank you
This is the musical embodiment of nostalgia. Every time I listen it reminds me of simpler times and everything almost seemed more beautiful in life. People nowadays don’t have much to smile about but listening to this is like a trip to a happier time in peoples lives. So beautiful.
Many college students have gone to college And gotten hooked on drugs, marijuana, and alcohol Listen, stop trying to be somebody else Don't try to be someone else Be yourself and know that that's good enough Don't try to be someone else Don't try to be like someone else Don't try to act like someone else, be yourself Be secure with yourself Rely and trust upon your own decisions On your own beliefs You understand the things that I've taught you Not to drink alcohol, not to use drugs Don't use that cocaine or marijuana because that stuff is highly addictive When people become weed-heads they become sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned Sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned That's all marijuana does to you, okay? This is mom Unless you're taking it under doctor's umm control Then it's regulated. Do not smoke marijuana, do not consume alcohol Do not get in the car with someone who is inebriated This is mom, call me, bye
you're the reason that i love blond buddy so soulful and pure sample makes me cry and go to the past where i was teenager & free i hope your beautiful grandma in a good place rn thankyou
This makes me think about love ones of mine who have passed away or have left my family. I makes me think of the good memories I had with them. It also makes me think about taking a nice drive by the ocean and getting out and waking along the soft sand. Love this music, great job 💗.
I know!! Blonde's almost two years old but I still listen to it on a regular basis, and this Buddy Ross sample has been the soundtrack to my existential ennui
My friend has been going through so much lately from recovering of an addiction to losing her mom. This song makes me remember of all the good times we shared in a short amount of time. Please cherish every moment you share with someone because you’ll never know if it’ll be their last. To A, I hope I see you again.
I sorta like how this feels like it all happened as it did on the video, one family moment after another, nothing in between. To quote Joe Pera, "It was great until saw the sun come up and I saw there’s nothing separating days but sleep. And though days have cycles, and seasons have cycles, time is not a cycle for us. Just a straight line "
Thank you for making this! A beautiful meeting of images and music, and its cool to see your family, and where you come from. Why are there all of the newspapers at the end?
My family all delivered the local newspaper in their Datsuns. I used to ride with my mom on her route when I was out of school for the summer or sick. And sometimes would go on my grandma or aunts route. Or my grandpas or uncles.

this comment ;_;
Ever since Blonde dropped i'd wanted to hear the whole thing. Beautiful song.
If Nostalgia was a sound, it would be this song. Idk but I think of my past everytime I hear this
Me too.
Nostalgia Ultra reference?
Mikey: What's your first memory?
Ryan:The first word i learnt to say or ever said
Legitimately one of the only songs to make me tear up. Thanks Buddy for this gift and Frank Ocean for hooking me onto this wonderful song

love this comment
Blonde is a 10/10 album.
One of the greatest instrumentals. Wanted to ask what I should search up and what genre this would fit into if I wanted more songs like this one. Overall eargasmic
Abbas Hasan Try Dirty Beaches
Check out Boards of Canada
Some vaporwave tracks induce the same feelings in me
Boards of Canada like pigammon said; Aphex Twin and Caribou aren't 1000 miles off
hypnagogic pop my dude!
This makes me feel nostalgia, my brother went to college a month ago and this is one of the things that makes me remember our childhood

what a beautiful film. Your grandma is an artist.
We don't deserve you Buddy Ross. But we certainly need one of these hits again.
I'm from Portland and this song reminds of the northwest. Really captures the beauty of the gray and gloom.
Everytime i listen to this song i feel like coming home after a long night with friends you havent seen in a while
something oddly familiar and very important
Woah. Wasn't expecting to cry when i clicked on this
beautiful man. this instrumental always reminds me of my mom
what's the most amazing thing you've ever whitnessed?
Buddy, thanks to your song and Frank's work I'm being myself, thank you so much
This is such a comforting melody and captures the feeling of nostalgia perfectly. Thank you
Be yourself and know that that's good enough ❤
Thank you buddy for blessing us with the greatest background music to ever be on an album
A perfect encapsulation of nostalgia in music form.
I don't know why but this song just brings all the good memories that where hidden away and forget back, such a beautiful melody that brings out the beauty hidden within.
happy you took time to make this -- its beautiful
The video adds so much to it
How does it feel to be on a record as influential as blonde
Buddy Ross is Frank Oceans keyboard player.
@@colourfultrash7695 Is that true?
@@ianbulos1041 yes.
Gives Blonde so much nostalgia. This video fits perfectly. It feels like a memory 🥰 thank you Buddy
i’ve never smoked weed but i will for sure listen to this song while getting high for the first time
It’s a mood for sure. Total vibe.
lmao i see you everywhere bro
Do not smoke marijuana
@@paulordrg too late buddy 😅
@@isaac2560 do not get in the car with someone who is inebriated
Never thought I'd miss being in high school til now
Same man :(
Hows life been since?
damn, this is beautiful. someone just told me to look up the full song bc i loved the instrumental on Blonde, I didn't know it was a sample
Hey Buddy Ross finding this video accompanying the song has made my day. Something about this is just so pristine to me that it makes me well up a little bit. Makes me feel a certain type of way. Looking forward to hearing any future projects you may have. Thank you
This song by itself is so incredibly beautiful. Legit one of my favorite songs EVER. Period
this has to be a top 10 song of all time.
This is the musical embodiment of nostalgia. Every time I listen it reminds me of simpler times and everything almost seemed more beautiful in life. People nowadays don’t have much to smile about but listening to this is like a trip to a happier time in peoples lives. So beautiful.
might be the first piano song i learn this shit too good
Many college students have gone to college
And gotten hooked on drugs, marijuana, and alcohol
Listen, stop trying to be somebody else
Don't try to be someone else
Be yourself and know that that's good enough
Don't try to be someone else
Don't try to be like someone else
Don't try to act like someone else, be yourself
Be secure with yourself
Rely and trust upon your own decisions
On your own beliefs
You understand the things that I've taught you
Not to drink alcohol, not to use drugs
Don't use that cocaine or marijuana because that stuff is highly addictive
When people become weed-heads they become sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned
Sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned
That's all marijuana does to you, okay? This is mom
Unless you're taking it under doctor's umm control
Then it's regulated. Do not smoke marijuana, do not consume alcohol
Do not get in the car with someone who is inebriated
This is mom, call me, bye
coming back to this because it’s one of the best things ever
This just shows me how precious memories are and how we never know when one is being made
Still here in 2020, and this is amazing
everytime i listen to this song, i always feel like a kid.
i want to cry
you're the reason that i love blond buddy
so soulful and pure sample
makes me cry and go to the past where i was teenager & free
i hope your beautiful grandma in a good place rn
thankyou
from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for this song
i’ve been listening to a 45 second clip of this- i’m very glad i found this:>
Wow man something about this makes me feel things that I have never felt and maybe will feel in future and later feel nostalgic about them
This makes me think about love ones of mine who have passed away or have left my family. I makes me think of the good memories I had with them. It also makes me think about taking a nice drive by the ocean and getting out and waking along the soft sand. Love this music, great job 💗.
frank and buddy ross turn this to the greatest sample in this decade
my question is where did mr ocean learn about this fire
one of the best melodies out there
I can’t stop playing this it just makes me feel so nostalgic and happy but too happy we’re i start to cry
thanks to frank this song means a lot to me. it's simple yet so warm and nostalgic idk
The soundtrack to our lives. laughs and tears transformed into instruments.
Hey I live in oregon! Ig this song has more meaning for me now
datsuns gang
Yessss
Just one word for it, "GOOSEBUMPS"
this is what I want to be played in the video at my funeral
i’m glad you found this song
Favorite beat of all time
one of the greatest sampled ambient track of all time
This deserves a billion views... damn
I love this dude🎉
First time I saw him he was playing a keyboard in church in longview.
Nostalgic by the way what synths were used to create this?
Lowkey sounds like a prophet-v for the synths, reverb machines article on frank ocean synths talks about recreating the electric piano sound you hear.
@@user-yf3yc1ps9i This sounds like a Mellotron to me, and I believe there's a clip of Buddy playing the mellotron.
buddy ross said somewhere online he used a rhodes and a juno 106
th-cam.com/video/HemIatG0W6A/w-d-xo.html
Milobyte its absolutely not a mellotron lol
when the BLond mixing hits you with Be yourself + good guys + Facebook story
And Futura Free
Hearing your past from another room
This makes me feel sluggish lazy and unconcerned
Gonna tell my kids this is the music of the universe
But now I don’t care ‘bout bitched like that, my nigga. That shit... Jasmine fucking wrecked my heart; I don’t even know how to feel about bitches.
love
don't act like someone else be yourself
Nostalgia, Ultra
anybody here because of frank ocean?
Me!!!
Alexia Adizon 😂 were such nosey fans
I know!! Blonde's almost two years old but I still listen to it on a regular basis, and this Buddy Ross sample has been the soundtrack to my existential ennui
Alexia Adizon yes exactly!
Fam we all here coz of Frank
don’t try to act like someone else don’t try to be like someone else be yourself and know that’s good enough
very big fan of this track mr ross
Love the tune. Release more.
My friend has been going through so much lately from recovering of an addiction to losing her mom. This song makes me remember of all the good times we shared in a short amount of time.

What a warm melody
rest in peace Ryan Breaux
Life seemed more wholesome back then
The true best music.
just think of what rock n roll worship circus could be today with where the "big four" are at rn....so good.
a little research of who produced blonde for these amazing beats
who got a 10 hour loop of this
I think I can make it
