I feel very honoured to be involved in this. I’m so so SO proud of this song. And I really truly love beautiful FKA Twigs. One of the rare humans. And of course my OG brother Headie One ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The featured sculpture is called Fons Americanus, it's a mockery of the Queen Victoria Memorial which celebrates the British Empire. It's great to see it shown here as it's a brutal depiction of slavery, with sharks circling on their journey to the USA. I'm pleased to be teaching about it in school
Hahahaha I just searched this artists from your recommendation in your Grammy video and then your comment is on the top of the first video that comes up
@@mave143 she released a lawsuit against her ex partner, I’m sure there is tons of videos about it but Emily D Baker covered very respectfully if you want to know the details
Yes unfortunately I heard about that domestic violence situation hopefully she doesn’t have ptsd after her unfortunate event hopefully it won’t happen again to her or anybody else
@@mpilombulelogrootboom177 oh wow! A positive comment in the comments comment section! I was standing outside for a min debating whether to come in. Usually it’s a trap So thanks
...Constricted by the invisible forces that constrict and crush from all sides, the black person seeks to simply live and move forward, yet the pressure is ever-present and it contorts not only the body, but the mind as well, PUSHING us back when we feel we are at the cusp of a breakthrough, meanwhile the onlookers who have never lived this think to themselves, "they are tense and sensitive for no reason", judging us for wanting to exist un-oppressed, which we have never known once in any country ran by 'others'. Noone is smiling here, and all are lost, trapped in cage they didn't choose. The way that she's able translate feelings into imagery is really beyond words. Inspires me to be a better artist.
Can u explain the ending though? My interpretation is that she made it all the way to the end against this invisible oppressor, opened the door she wanted to open all this time, only for her to just see nothingness. I just get the feeling that now as she is being returned back to her seat she wont get up and try again to reach the door.
@@kernalfleak I don't believe she saw nothing. As she opens the door, it is dark inside but you can hear voices coming through. Right after it flashes to a black man being brutalized by an invisible force, meant to be the police. Twigs would never put out content that is meant to silence or subdue black voices or hearts.
@@crystalyensko6992 ya i thought about that. I think if she saw nothing then it would be a confusion on her part maybe. But another possibility is that the blackness represented a breakthrough or uncharted territory and that the oppressive forces were holding her back from it. Then it would make sense. I guess im inserting my own biases because the video just reminded me of similar concepts that all end in a way that i interpreted this video and thought maybe fka twigs saw it the same way. maybe she has more info on it that im missing, like a continuation to my idea that changes it from a neither hopeful or hopeless thought to one of hope. So thats why im asking
and there's no one else to identify with - it forces people to pay attention to the person on screen and no one else. no giving excuses abt the cops, or whoever is hurting him
this lowkey made me sad when i think about what happened last year and whats been happening for a very long time, this song is amazing, this music video? gorgeous. i swear this woman never disappoints, she simply does not miss.
I recently lost my brother and this song opened my eyes to the pain he was feeling he didn't need judgment just love because we are fighting a war no one sees
the imagery of twigs getting pulled back to the chair by this visually invisible force is so powerful. she has completely changed the game. so glad I'm alive at the same time as her.
I’ve never been able to vibe with modern dance before this but now I’m like wow this is ART. Really speaks to you. She is so so so talented. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves.
FKA twigs, like a goft fom the Universe, You give and You give. Thank You for sharing Your beautiful and incredible art, music, perspective and magic with Us. You Move me G.
other wordly its called, but yeah i would say shes lumerian, acturian and plaed in one person. She is really other wordly, the girl from the queens gambit is another one but shes more acturian over all.
@@860rondo i do recognize that victims of police brutality vary in race, but a disproportionate number of those victims are black, which is wildly unjust. ideally, nobody should ever have to die at the hands of law enforcement, the ppl who are supposed to protect us. nobody is saying that we only care about black victims, we are simply stating that they are an overwhelming majority in this situation
This is undeniably one of the great songs of the decade. I listened to it when I passed out three nights in a row as I wrote about Killing John Dupel. This and killer will make it into the movie, I hope I make it there as well.
I know I'm not at their level yet but I am a new 16 year old rapper and would really love if you could check my song out, if you like what you hear put your friends on, I work too hard not to get noticed 😭.
[Intro: Headie one] Don't judge me Don't judge me I know that shit fuckery I was broke and I loved myself Nobody even loved me [Chorus: FKA twigs & Headie One] Don't judge me, take care for me Don't judge me, take care of my heart Don't judge me, be there for me Don't judge me, just hold me in your arms Dont' judge me, take care for me Hold me in your arms Don't judge me, be there for mе Hold me in your arms (Don't judge me) [Verse 1: FKA twigs & Headie One] Hold mе in your arms, so you won't [make it through?] (Don't judge me) I got a precious heart, [open?] for you (I know that shit fuckery) Say why you're breakin' for me every day (Didn't love me) I'll send the precious kinda love your way Don't judge me Don't judge me (I know that shit fuckery) Don't judge me (Don't judge me) I'll send the precious love I have your way [Verse 2: Headie One] You know bein' black, bein' from the hood and seventeen is powerless The only change is when you get yourself a heater I don't know why me and them oppers started beefin' Do I blame me, or do I really [?] fury? Born in the gutter, know well my choice to be here Funny how both my parents done the most to be here We can walk free, but are we really walkin' free here? How can this be home when I feel I wanna flee here? I can't trust the police force and I can't trust the media Learned more about my people from the streets than from my teachers I done a million speeches No justice, no peace, 'cause we in pieces Officer, am I allowed to breathe here? I didn't choose to be me, so why discriminate me? Paranoia got the gang'nem rolling with it lately Feelin' like they're gonna run up in my crib and take me So rest in peace mark here, forever in our prayers No more betrayal, we need permanent changes So we can move forward without turnin' back pages Almost feelin' like strangers in this world that we live in Uh, lord, forgive them No more betrayal, we need permanent changes So we can move forward without turnin' back pages [?] know that it's wrong being racist Help us feel proudly, look at our faces (Don't judge me) [Refrain: FKA twigs & Headie One] I'll send the precious love I have your way (Don't judge me) Save me, breakin' for you every day (I know that shit fuckery) I'll send the precious love I have your way (Don't judge me) I'll send the precious love I have your way [Outro: Headie One & FKA twigs] I used to pray for a change until I had dirty knees Don't judge me Don't judge me
"Do I blame me, or the 'Willie Lynch' theory?" - an important line to omit. From Wikipedia - "The William Lynch speech is an address purportedly delivered by a certain William Lynch (or Willie Lynch) to an audience on the bank of the James River in Virginia in 1712 regarding control of slaves within the colony. The letter purports to be a verbatim account of a short speech given by a slave owner, in which he tells other slave masters that he has discovered the "secret" to controlling black slaves by setting them against one another."
youd think the guy in 4:26 is spasming randomly but if you look closely hes being detained by an invisible police. peep the hands forced to go behind his back and how he's pinned to the wall
Lol I’m all for rooting for your own roots but imagine a white person saying “a stunning display of white excellence” wouldn’t sound too good would it?
@@yungmentalproblems I'm not sure if this is trying to be racist or something but I'm black and Asian and there really isn't anything wrong with saying Asian excellence??? Idk but if you could elaborate that would be nice lol
@@stephaniexoxo3879 It's literally not the same thing. I mean I can see where you're coming from with how the tables are turned when the race is switched but the thing is, the phrase you just used has negative connotations behind due to all the fucked up shit racist people did (KKK, White Power, White Supremacy et cetera) but the phrase I used does not have these connotations behind it. I was celebrating a song illustrating the struggles of POC created by talented POC and starring POC
Oh my god, it's just the synergy between the music of the song and the dance, it brings tears to my eyes. This chair is like a separate painting that everyone can interpret for themselves in their own way. This is great, thank you
It's like waiting for a flower to blossom. Your eyelids are falling and you're slowly moving in and out of worlds but you try your best to keep awake because when it blooms, all tiredness is suddenly gone and only pure joy remains
There’s already an interlude on Spotify called Judge Me feat. FKA twigs that was released April 2020. I’m not sure if this is supposed be the full song.
Such a powerful statement. If only humanity just realized that we are one unit. We need to lift people up not shove them down. Hate is a powerful thing, let’s make love more powerful!
It was the shark in the water for me. Shot out to ALL the artists involved! This is just.......man! Love this woman's mind! And her intuitive spiritual connection to herself, others and her art, music. She's the master of her craft!!
I will forever keep coming back to this. Pure talent right here. Twigs is so underrated and is so above the game and ahead of her time. I adore her and I’m so grateful to see her grow as an artist.
What, restart racism, against another color? It's already a competition of victimhood. Which, ugh, this is so stupid, color of skin will have the most victims this time? I judge nobody of a specific group, but I will judge individuals by their actions of hate to gain something with no effort to rationalize each other as individuals, but entire groups. That's The definition of bigotry and don't assume I'm calling anyone out by color, because this trend affects all colors and only increases the delusion of victimhood instead of self awareness and the freedom we all have as equals when we value effort and humility to learn from our mistakes. I love this song the very first time I heard it, especially her singing and dancing.
Watching twigs dance makes me want to cry sometimes, the way she moves, so passionately, yet subtle at times, her work in general just makes me feel so many emotions, she is a true artist ❤️
I feel like so many marginalized people can relate. I may not be black but there are some parts in this that I hear and it's just vocalising my pain and the pain and discrimination that my people face.
I have rewatched this a few times. The ending really clutches my heart. I cry. Such powerful imagery in combination with this beautiful music...FEELS 🤎✨✨
It's like she's fighting within herself but never giving up soooooo beautiful I might not be spot on but fka twigs is sooooooo deep who are we to judge love you twigs💕
I haven't watched a music video in ages. I was flicking channels early this morning and come across this. I was mesmerised, such a powerfully emotive piece. Too sad and just wrong. I don't think I will ever forget this.
Would anyone else agree with me, that fka twigs looks like she's been reborn (especially in the first visuals ) After the last album and what she has been through, personally.
the symbolism in this! the choreography, Kara Walker's sculpture, everything is so beautifully thought out and only adds to the importance of the lyrics WOW
I am out of Superlatives to describe...How is FKA Twigs not the Biggest Global Star in Music right now...no one else is even close to her Extraordinary Talent and Creativity!!!
Thank you for taking initiative. You have our attention! We are all broken. We all deserve salvation, to be lifted when we have fallen. To be taken as we are. Cherished. Darkness can not separate us. But it can shape who we are. Shadows fall from that which is we have hidden from the light. Its form projected but still unseen. No obstacles are immovable. Together we can overcome.
I feel very honoured to be involved in this.
I’m so so SO proud of this song. And I really truly love beautiful FKA Twigs. One of the rare humans.
And of course my OG brother Headie One
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is fuckin dope
HOW DARE YOU TAINT THE QUEENS SONG
I CANT BELIEVE THIS
WAIT R U THE BRITISH RAPPER

And we all know who that oppressor is,
Sometimes the invisible oppressor is the voice in our head.
@@Anne--Marie no lol she clearly stated this was about racism

Fons Americanus.
It's in the credits and everybody should go read about it.
THANK YOU. Kara Walker is extraordinary.. seeing the sculpture in video.. It came to life
These two pieces of art complement each other so well, especially given the history of the Tate. FKA Twigs is a treasure.

Wouldn't even be surprised if this was true
Backwards too!
[Intro: Headie one]
Don't judge me
Don't judge me
I know that shit fuckery
I was broke and I loved myself
Nobody even loved me
[Chorus: FKA twigs & Headie One]
Don't judge me, take care for me
Don't judge me, take care of my heart
Don't judge me, be there for me
Don't judge me, just hold me in your arms
Dont' judge me, take care for me
Hold me in your arms
Don't judge me, be there for mе
Hold me in your arms (Don't judge me)
[Verse 1: FKA twigs & Headie One]
Hold mе in your arms, so you won't [make it through?] (Don't judge me)
I got a precious heart, [open?] for you (I know that shit fuckery)
Say why you're breakin' for me every day (Didn't love me)
I'll send the precious kinda love your way
Don't judge me
Don't judge me (I know that shit fuckery)
Don't judge me (Don't judge me)
I'll send the precious love I have your way
[Verse 2: Headie One]
You know bein' black, bein' from the hood and seventeen is powerless
The only change is when you get yourself a heater
I don't know why me and them oppers started beefin'
Do I blame me, or do I really [?] fury?
Born in the gutter, know well my choice to be here
Funny how both my parents done the most to be here
We can walk free, but are we really walkin' free here?
How can this be home when I feel I wanna flee here?
I can't trust the police force and I can't trust the media
Learned more about my people from the streets than from my teachers
I done a million speeches
No justice, no peace, 'cause we in pieces
Officer, am I allowed to breathe here?
I didn't choose to be me, so why discriminate me?
Paranoia got the gang'nem rolling with it lately
Feelin' like they're gonna run up in my crib and take me
So rest in peace mark here, forever in our prayers
No more betrayal, we need permanent changes
So we can move forward without turnin' back pages
Almost feelin' like strangers in this world that we live in
Uh, lord, forgive them
No more betrayal, we need permanent changes
So we can move forward without turnin' back pages
[?] know that it's wrong being racist
Help us feel proudly, look at our faces (Don't judge me)
[Refrain: FKA twigs & Headie One]
I'll send the precious love I have your way (Don't judge me)
Save me, breakin' for you every day (I know that shit fuckery)
I'll send the precious love I have your way (Don't judge me)
I'll send the precious love I have your way
[Outro: Headie One & FKA twigs]
I used to pray for a change until I had dirty knees
Don't judge me
Don't judge me

SAMEEEEE FROM EP1 TO MAGDALENE HER DISCOGRAPHY IS PURE FIRE
I could probably give fallen alien a miss but otherwise I agree
goodbye magdalene era 😭
No way
welcome new era twigs ❣
no yet
She always make songs with rappers it's not something new
No one else is serving us this level of movement storytelling. Thank you ALL for this beautiful piece. I'm a dance fangirl for you forever FKA 🥺
Watching twigs dance makes me want to cry sometimes, the way she moves, so passionately, yet subtle at times, her work in general just makes me feel so many emotions, she is a true artist ❤️
I already love the imagery, with the Fons Americanus being on the cover that she posted. She never misses
I feel like so many marginalized people can relate. I may not be black but there are some parts in this that I hear and it's just vocalising my pain and the pain and discrimination that my people face.
Anyone can be marginalised but hopefully one day everyone gets sone peace!
she rlly is the music industry
what a powerful song for our times...an unglorified dignified classic anthem... soothing and alarming at the same time. sublime
These guys should be honoured to collaborated with her.
I have rewatched this a few times. The ending really clutches my heart. I cry. Such powerful imagery in combination with this beautiful music...FEELS 🤎✨✨
I cried I’ll admit it. I don’t like make noises when I cry but their were some tears.
even thinking about how i am going to feel watching and listening to this premiere made me emotional. that kind of emotional i forgot i had in me.
Headie is so versatile. I'd never thought I'd ever hear FKA Twigs and Headie One collab on a track, but I'm so glad that I did.
I hope her art heals her and nurtures her soul. You are so precious and so brave for sharing yourself with the world. Bless you Twigs.
"Don't Judge Me" entered the New Alternative 40 Chart this week at #1!
It's like she's fighting within herself but never giving up soooooo beautiful I might not be spot on but fka twigs is sooooooo deep who are we to judge love you twigs💕
The black history in this I almost cried 🤎🤎
Bought me to tears. Such a powerful piece of art
I haven't watched a music video in ages. I was flicking channels early this morning and come across this. I was mesmerised, such a powerfully emotive piece. Too sad and just wrong. I don't think I will ever forget this.
Would anyone else agree with me, that fka twigs looks like she's been reborn (especially in the first visuals ) After the last album and what she has been through, personally.
And just like that my January isn't so blue💙👑
Headie was a nice touch to this, wasn’t expecting this collab but I Stan 🥺❤️
oh my god i just by chance searched fka twigs wanted to listen to her old songs i didn't know she has released a song in just 20 minutes.telepathy
I keep coming back to this haunting masterpiece.
I remember seeing FKA Twigs live in 2015 at FYF in Los Angeles. She was absolutely radiant and amazing. I'm so glad that I got to see her perform.
I thought she had like 10M subs why y'all sleeping on her 😢
right
I can't believe it's a full year since she uploaded this track..
This has to be one of her best tracks 💜
Need your voice in this period of my life 🙏🏻
the symbolism in this! the choreography, Kara Walker's sculpture, everything is so beautifully thought out and only adds to the importance of the lyrics WOW
She is speaking to the soul. In every work of art she puts out. She truly deserves so much more recognition.
INCREDIBLE! The lyrics, the community, the context, the choreo, the audio (that sub bass goes oofffffff) the art of it all, fons americanus 🖤🤎
The second you start to sing, my body gets covered in goosebumps, and my eyes well up🖤🖤🖤
Miss Twigs could literally breathe and it would become art holy shit
Here because of Zero on Netflix. Finally started watching it this week. Watching that episode this song was in right now.
FKA twigs has helped me so much. What she’s doing is truly beautiful
we know twigs about to make us cry 💙 (edit: called it 😭😭😭)
fka twigs and kara walker is the artist collaboration that i never knew i needed
I am out of Superlatives to describe...How is FKA Twigs not the Biggest Global Star in Music right now...no one else is even close to her Extraordinary Talent and Creativity!!!
Just an amazing conversation through body language, music and photography to Kara Walker’s ‘Fons Americanus”. Moved me to tears.
Stunning and insanely the realist. Privilege has people judging as if they would know what to do given no opportunity to stand.
Had to read this a few times but I got it!
The queen is coming!
this literally feels like a birthday gift
omg my birthday was the 23rd - me too!
Headie one snapped on this 💯💯
Thank you for taking initiative. You have our attention!
We are all broken. We all deserve salvation, to be lifted when we have fallen.
To be taken as we are. Cherished. Darkness can not separate us. But it can shape who we are.
Shadows fall from that which is we have hidden from the light. Its form projected but still unseen.
No obstacles are immovable. Together we can overcome.
THE SYMBOLISM
THE DEPTH
THE TRUTH
WOW
