Just lost my boyfriend who introduced me to Frank Ocean. He was only 20 years 💔 Listening to this song reminds me of him so bad. RIP K! Edit: A year later...Thank y'all for the sweet texts! It's honestly been a rough ride but I've learned to appreciate the little things in life 💯
This song is so interesting to me. The singing off beat in the first, to the unsettling guitar riff that leads into the smooth beat drop. He put a lot of science into this song. The first makes your heart beat really fast and make you uncomfortable and then when the beat switch hits it relaxes you and makes your heart beat even slower than before. He really knows what he’s doing.
this is the definition of a perfect song. its been years and it still tickles my brain. absolutely mindblowing switch in the middle. dude needs to drop more music.
did the same thing, but that night was painful for me because I spent it alone, so now every time I hear this song, it's painful, yet I love the song..
1:46 “the suns going down, time to start your day bruh” This line just hits, when life has become so sad and nothing makes sense anymore. What we used to live. It all just changed so fast and now I feel like It will never be the same again.
Had a brief phase in early 2023 when I got laid off from my corporate job along with our entire office. Since I was fresh out of college, I didn't have savings to just stop & wait for the next job to come along. Ended up working many 12+ hr days in food service to pay rent. Now I have a great job & that experience really developed my character, but man this song really hit and got me through some shitty days at that time.
7 years later it is now 2024, it is currently 3 am and i put this masterpiece on, as soon as i hit play and got to 1:40, i felt like everything in the future was gona be okay, and i felt like i was listening to a levitating-worthy song. Thank you Frank, ill always find myself in ur Ocean 💯 (pause)

It deadass is a culmination of all emotions. I feel vibeish , chill and happy asf in the first half, then regretful ,depressed and sad in the second half wtf
A very good friend of mine died Saturday night and he loved listening to Frank Ocean. He was only 21. His birthday was going to be December 20th. I’d always see him wearing Frank Ocean merch. It breaks my heart knowing my dear friend is gone and listening to Frank Ocean makes me tear up. Evan was truly a great person. It was a pleasure having you in my life my dude ❤️
Can't describe that moment in life when u come back to this song and the lyrics are getting so much cleaner. More and more situations in your life are identify with this song. It's such a amazing thing how human being is non stop learning. I think I would be able to truly understand this track at the end of my life. Thank You Frank
The beat switch in this song is actually one of the most genius things I have ever come across in music and I'm convinced it's got a lot to do with by popular music became so obsessed with beat switches in the late 2010s.
THIS SONG IS JUST, OHHHH, THE MOST PERFECT THING IN THE WORLD IN THIS UNIVERSE, JUST PLS ,I CCANT EXPLAIN HOW I FELL BUT ITS THE BEST FEELING LOVE THIS SONG COME BACK FRANK PLS
@perla sanchez I said what I said Frank Ocean is trash, his music is bland and boring and not enjoyable to listen to at all...but the gays will say otherwise
Can’t believe Frank never made music videos for his solo songs, especially this one. Imo, this is one of the greatest songs ever written. Just always hits. Frank inspired me a lot as a rapper in the underground myself. I’m no where near as talented but I am eternally grateful for his musical influence on me. He truly is a one of a kind artist. Iconic.
Greatest song ever written? It doesn't even have a beat. It has no rhythm. He is just spouting out shit randomly and half of it is incomprehensible. This is hands down the single worst song I have ever heard in my life (and I grew up around Weird Al)...if you could even consider it music at all.
its hard to describe just how satisfying that transition is. It literally feels like a breathe of fresh air after holding it in for 2 minutes. Just pure peace and bliss.
Frank Ocean Songs cant get boring. Its not listening, its discovering. Every single listen you find something new in his songs. Thats why I adore him so much
A master piece of songwriting. Each phase of the song can be interpreted as a stage of day. We go from the bright guitar based intro( day), to the beat switch where Ocean starts his "night shift"( the evening or early night) and then finally to the last phase and stanza of the song wherein we finally receive the context for the narrator's ( Franks') situation( deep night). The song has a narrative, but the narrative is not clear until the last phase or stanza when Frank explains how he had to relocate to Houston after Katrina, and this is how he met the lover to whom the song is addressed. Because we receive the background to the narrative at end of thr song, Nights rewards multiple listens.
Whenever I listen to this song, I remember my older brother when he was struggling in a bad spot. He just got out of college. Not because he finished his degree, but because he dropped out. It was such a devastating blow for him, especially when he spent countless hours in high school to make honor roll, be part of extracurricular, yet he failed. Not to mention his girlfriend broke up with him within that same time. I still remember the night he cried out his heart and soul when she told him the news. He decided to get a job. It was at Chuck E. Cheese. Within 5 months he quit. Don't know why exactly, but I would understand if it was a shitty place like that. For the next 2 years, all he did was hangout with highschoolers, drive around a car he didn't own, get drunk and smoke with minors, and would still have the audacity to ask, or rather demand my mom for money. Later we find out he's had 2 kids with 2 different girls. His whole situation was fucked. He wasn't going to school. He wasn't working. He spent money he didn't have. He was surrounded by people who didn't give a shit about him. And on top of all that, he had children that needed child support. I was mad at him, furious. But really in my core I was just sad. Unbelievably sorry for him that sometimes I would break down and cry about my brother that I look up to. But now I couldn't be more proud of him. He stopped his reckless partying. He stopped being sorry for himself. He's making nearly 6 figures a year with a job he loves, and a proud father of 2 kids. If you see this comment, just know that I'm incredibly happy for you. I love you, bro.
I’m not joking one time I was riding my skateboard on this road and I was listening to this song and EXACTLY when the part drops at around 3:24 I fell on my face and never listened to the song since.
This has to be one of the best songs that has ever been written, them lyrics, the beat, the transition, what I feel listening to it, I’ll never be tired of it, sheesh💎
I feel you. When I was done with school, I started working full time instead of pursuing a career. I earned money, watched the numbers on my account go up, but I didn't really care about the money. Money aint worth shit, compared to some real friends. The people I work with talk to me and stuff, but they're not friends. We're just people working together. When we're done with work, we dont talk. I miss hanging out with my real friends from school. I finally decided to tell my boss I quit, and im starting in school again, pursuing a career, and hopefully finding some real friends along the way. Friends are some of the most important people in my life. Its like a second family, that accepts you for who you are.
Man I dont even have friends that got similar music taste as me. Like they all have similar taste except me I'd prefer some Frank Ocean over like dababy or Roddy rich
When you actually understand what this song is about, it's pretty sad. He's talking about a guy working the night shift depressed and the chick he's seeing being the only happiness in his life, and the "cheap vacation" as well. Most likely was his life while trying to make the music happen.
Working two jobs at 33, tryna keep my girl happy and my dogs fed, while being a brother/father figure to my 15 yo sister who’s being a “teenager” This song hits
this is my favorite song of all time. I remember driving home from Los Angeles one night (it was an hour drive) and this song came on shuffle as I was passing downtown. I cried. It pulled me apart at my seams and unraveled me into the universe and then painted the skyscrapers with my being. Frank Ocean is everything to me and this song vibrates my soul like nothing else ever has. When I saw him perform this life I swear I had died and entered heaven with this song playing at the pearly gates. It was nirvana.
In my opinion, this is the most good song of Frank Ocean, that change of rhythm it’s f*cking amazing, I hope Frank Ocean later will release another album ❤
Everyone is talking about the verse “Rollin marijuana that’s a cheap vacation” meanwhile i’m walking on air when he said “I wanna see nirvana but don’t want to die yet”
3:56 and onwards is defintley my favourite part of the song "Know them boys wanna see me broke down See me bummed out, stressed out That's just every day shit Shut the fuck up, I don't want your conversation Rollin' marijuana, that's a cheap vacation" i often find myself pondering about the lost friendships over the years and how some ended so bitterly on the other persons behalf and even in my present life it be like that. as ironic as it is, ive had and still have people in my life that want to tear me down and hate that they cant. i love it, it pushes me. I LIVE FOR THAT SHIT
Zoe Fitzsimmons I went on a few dates with this guy, and he put this song on while I was driving him back home while the sun was fading and it’s such a beautiful memory. But it didn’t end up working out between us so now this song just reminds me of him😭
I lost my brother who introduced frank ocean to me when I was little.He was a big fan of frank.my brother went to all of his concerts .he died due to suicide he would be so happy if frank ocean came back
many ppl say that the beat switch represents the switch between halves of the album. in my opinion every beat/track after the switch also has this darker nighttime feel as well
This is one of those songs that play in your head when you’re in a dream and it’s just endless horizon in front of you. Literally transcends dimensions.
THAT BEAT SWITCH GETS ME EVERY TIME
Kid Jimi I love you!!!! ❤️😄
beautiful
Sameee

*In case anybody doesn’t know, the beat switch happens at exactly the halfway point of the album, basically splitting the album into 2 parts*
the difference between blond and blonde
adds to the theme of duality throughout the album
This song is so interesting to me. The singing off beat in the first, to the unsettling guitar riff that leads into the smooth beat drop. He put a lot of science into this song. The first makes your heart beat really fast and make you uncomfortable and then when the beat switch hits it relaxes you and makes your heart beat even slower than before. He really knows what he’s doing.
Thats amazing !

1:46 “the suns going down, time to start your day bruh”
This line just hits, when life has become so sad and nothing makes sense anymore. What we used to live. It all just changed so fast and now I feel like It will never be the same again.
i have never read a comment this relatable
:(
Damn
That's just how it feels man. Like what even is this reality
@ man that couldn’t be more real. Life has not been real since 2020
"Time to start your day bruh. Can't keep being laid off, you know you need the money if you gone survive" Perfectly describes me right now.
Yung Swisha describes me everyday
Me too. Not gonna like your comment though since you at 420
Yung Swisha I have your profile picture as a poster in my room
Yung Swisha same that's why it's my favorite of the album
Tell me why i was listening to the song and i read this at the same time he said it 😭😭😭
the line “time to start your day bruh, can’t keep being late..” really hit home for me
@m3ss3njah yes, me calling somebody a "lazy fuck" for always being late to work makes me a basement dweller
It’s actually “cant keep being laid off”

Frank Bauknight gets me every time
*When he said*
"Round your city, round the clock
Everybody needs you
No, you can't make everybody equal
Although you got beaucoup family
You don't even got nobody being honest with you
Breathe 'til I evaporated
My whole body see through
Transportation, handmade (G)
And I know it better than most people
I don't trust 'em anyways
You can't break the law with them
Get some gushy, have a calm night
Shooters killing left and right
Working through your worst night
If I get my money right
You know I won't need you
And I tell you, (bitch)
I hope the sack is full up
I'm fuckin', no I'm fucked up
Spend it when I get that
I ain't tryna keep you
Can't keep up a conversation
Can't nobody reach you
Why your eyes well up?
Did you call me from a séance?
You are from my past life
Hope you're doing well bruh
I been out here head first
Always like the head first
Signal coming in and out
Hope you're doing well bruh
Everybody needs you, everybody needs you
Oooh nani nani
This feel like a quaalude
No sleep in my body
Ain't no bitch in my body
New beginnings, ahh
New beginnings, wake up akh
The sun's going down
Time to start your day bruh
Can't keep being laid off
Know you need the money if you gon' survive
The every night shit, every day shit
Dropping baby off at home before my night shift
You know I can't hear none of that spend the night shit
That kumbaya shit
Wanna see nirvana, but don't want to die yet
Wanna feel that na na though, could you come by?
Fuck with me after my shift
Know them boys wanna see me broke down and shit
Bummed out and shit, stressed out and shit
That's every day shit
Shut the fuck up I don’t want your conversation
Rolling marijuana that's a cheap vacation
My every day shit, every night shit, my every day shit
(Every night shit, night shit, night shit, night shit)
All my night, been ready for you all my night
Been waiting on you all my night
I'll buzz you in just let me know when you outside
All my night, you been missing all my night
Still got some good nights memorized
And the look back's getting me right
wet wet
Every night fucks every day up
Every day patches the night up
On God you should match it, it's that KO
No white lighters 'til I fuck my 28th up
1998 my family had that Acura
Oh, the Legend
Kept at least six discs in the changer
Back when Boswell and Percy had it active
Couple bishops in the city building mansions
All the reverends
Preaching self made millionaire status
When we could only eat at Shoney's on occasion
After 'trina hit I had to transfer campus
Your apartment out in Houston's where I waited
Stayin' with you when I didn't have a address
Fuckin' on you when I didn't own a mattress
Working on a way to make it outta Texas, every
Droppin' baby off at home before my night shift, yeah
You know I can't hear none of that spend the night shit
That kumbaya shit
Want to see nirvana, but don't want to die yet
Wanna feel that na na though, could you come by
Fuck with me after my shift
Know them boys wanna see me broke down
See me bummed out, stressed out
That's just everyday shit
Shut the fuck up, I don't want your conversation
Rolling marijuana, that's a cheap vacation
My every day shit, my every day shit
My every day shit, my every day shit
My every day shit, my every day shit
My every day shit, my every night shit"

This song is so interesting to me. The singing that reflects in between each beat at the first, to the unsettling guitar riff that leads into the smooth beat drop. He put a lot of science into this song. The first makes your heart beat really fast and make you uncomfortable and then when the beat switch hits it relaxes you and makes your heart beat even slower than before.

Frank don't sing off beat, the beats just can't keep up with Frank.

Unsettling guitar? Wth?
MEF2DEATH yeah. The solo leading up to the beat switch is very eerie
The guitar is Jimi H my dude.
1:40 is something so special man. The production, the message, it’s what makes this song so magical
this is the happiest sad song i've ever heard
It deadass is a culmination of all emotions. I feel vibeish , chill and happy asf in the first half, then regretful ,depressed and sad in the second half wtf

@@dirtyvans6612 True that! Thanks for sharing my g!!
never say you're not talented
@@montreal7901 talent is a lie bruh, good artistry is skill
@@dirtyvans6612 Talent just means that you were born with it. Just because you weren't born with it doesn't mean you can't learn it.
Greatest song ever written? It doesn't even have a beat. It has no rhythm. He is just spouting out shit randomly and half of it is incomprehensible.
This is hands down the single worst song I have ever heard in my life (and I grew up around Weird Al)...if you could even consider it music at all.
its hard to describe just how satisfying that transition is. It literally feels like a breathe of fresh air after holding it in for 2 minutes. Just pure peace and bliss.
This is the type of song that I will put on repeat and never get bored of, such a good song

Frank Ocean Songs cant get boring. Its not listening, its discovering. Every single listen you find something new in his songs. Thats why I adore him so much
A master piece of songwriting. Each phase of the song can be interpreted as a stage of day. We go from the bright guitar based intro( day), to the beat switch where Ocean starts his "night shift"( the evening or early night) and then finally to the last phase and stanza of the song wherein we finally receive the context for the narrator's ( Franks') situation( deep night). The song has a narrative, but the narrative is not clear until the last phase or stanza when Frank explains how he had to relocate to Houston after Katrina, and this is how he met the lover to whom the song is addressed. Because we receive the background to the narrative at end of thr song, Nights rewards multiple listens.
One of the best observation I've seen so far about this song. You know your feels.
jeez your smart, im good at analyzing music but not this good. I look up to you
you a WHOLE English teacher my guy and this is so sick that you observed this.
But that's just a theory
A MUSIC THEORY
Ok
from the minute 1:40 onwards is glorious, I feel like I'm in a skyscraper looking at a city at night with a lot of lights
Whenever I listen to this song, I remember my older brother when he was struggling in a bad spot. He just got out of college. Not because he finished his degree, but because he dropped out. It was such a devastating blow for him, especially when he spent countless hours in high school to make honor roll, be part of extracurricular, yet he failed. Not to mention his girlfriend broke up with him within that same time. I still remember the night he cried out his heart and soul when she told him the news. He decided to get a job. It was at Chuck E. Cheese. Within 5 months he quit. Don't know why exactly, but I would understand if it was a shitty place like that. For the next 2 years, all he did was hangout with highschoolers, drive around a car he didn't own, get drunk and smoke with minors, and would still have the audacity to ask, or rather demand my mom for money. Later we find out he's had 2 kids with 2 different girls. His whole situation was fucked. He wasn't going to school. He wasn't working. He spent money he didn't have. He was surrounded by people who didn't give a shit about him. And on top of all that, he had children that needed child support. I was mad at him, furious. But really in my core I was just sad. Unbelievably sorry for him that sometimes I would break down and cry about my brother that I look up to.
But now I couldn't be more proud of him. He stopped his reckless partying. He stopped being sorry for himself. He's making nearly 6 figures a year with a job he loves, and a proud father of 2 kids. If you see this comment, just know that I'm incredibly happy for you. I love you, bro.
I’m absolutely glad your brother got his life together. Shit isn’t precisely easy. Congrats on him!
Woah GG bro
He wanted change and it happen in hes timimg. May he keep going forward👍
This made me tear up , congrats on your bro I’m in the same boat as him minus the kids

we here bro, we all one big family
I feel you. When I was done with school, I started working full time instead of pursuing a career. I earned money, watched the numbers on my account go up, but I didn't really care about the money. Money aint worth shit, compared to some real friends. The people I work with talk to me and stuff, but they're not friends. We're just people working together. When we're done with work, we dont talk. I miss hanging out with my real friends from school. I finally decided to tell my boss I quit, and im starting in school again, pursuing a career, and hopefully finding some real friends along the way. Friends are some of the most important people in my life. Its like a second family, that accepts you for who you are.
Man I dont even have friends that got similar music taste as me. Like they all have similar taste except me I'd prefer some Frank Ocean over like dababy or Roddy rich
👑 I want you to put it back. You are precious if you listen to this masterpiece. Have good life King
I don't have friends that listen to Frank either. So lets vibe to him together 🥂

When you actually understand what this song is about, it's pretty sad. He's talking about a guy working the night shift depressed and the chick he's seeing being the only happiness in his life, and the "cheap vacation" as well. Most likely was his life while trying to make the music happen.

this is my favorite song of all time. I remember driving home from Los Angeles one night (it was an hour drive) and this song came on shuffle as I was passing downtown. I cried. It pulled me apart at my seams and unraveled me into the universe and then painted the skyscrapers with my being. Frank Ocean is everything to me and this song vibrates my soul like nothing else ever has. When I saw him perform this life I swear I had died and entered heaven with this song playing at the pearly gates. It was nirvana.
Damn that’s beautiful ❤️
i can feel this

It's a good song, calm down.

i often find myself pondering about the lost friendships over the years and how some ended so bitterly on the other persons behalf and even in my present life it be like that. as ironic as it is, ive had and still have people in my life that want to tear me down and hate that they cant. i love it, it pushes me.
