This arrangement is from a musical galaxy still yet undiscovered. The level of genius and skill exhibited here from the vocal to the musicality, to the timing and background harmonies are utterly incomprehensible. To say this is mind blowing is a massive understatement.
"Betray My Heart" LYRICS As the day must have it's sun And the night must have it's moon Sure as both must rise and fall I'll be there to see you through Just as long as there is time I will never leave your side And if ever that you feel That my love is not sincere [Chorus:] I will never betray my heart I will never betray my heart I will never betray my heart Like the breeze that blows in June I will steady keep you cool This I swear with all that's true I'll take nothing in place of you When you're feeling down, down, down You, my soul, can depend on me You don't ever have to fear That my love is not sincere [Chorus:] I will never betray my heart I will never betray my heart I will never betray my heart [Bridge:] Through the storm, through the rain I'll come running to ease your pain Like the rails that cross the trains Like the blood in your veins [Chorus:] I will never betray my heart I will never betray my heart I will never betray my heart
This song is a movie, a painting, a poem a movement. When something is a real as this......it's more than physical, more than spiritual, it's a peek into other dimension we can't comprehend the energies at force here
Hear hear! People sleeping on the depth of this masterpiece. The Charade is my fave, for reasons, but this one is a musical gem of the rarest quality. It's overflowing with artful, tasteful excellence. Just lovely. 💙
I still don't think D'Angelo realizes how big of an impact he is, dude is an icon....... and I'm from Virginia lol so we were all excited for him when he first stepped on the scene..... wish another album was on the way.......
Boy, I live in Europe and D'Angelo was a legend for me ( us) in the 90's already. I love his music, I love his amazing timing.. I don't know if more success would do him a favor, although he deserves it in every way..I mean, I like the life instruments and the realness that he could maintain in his music over the years. A huge label would maybe screw up his sensitive and unique sound, you know what I mean? Just guessing.
Its amazing how Motown and Black Soul still sounds good in this era..if anything, Black Soul is a breath of fresh air with all this new music coming out!
This album is making me feel grown...I'm in my 40's and I have not felt this way in a very long time about music...yasss..D'Angelo is giving me life right now.. can't wait to rock this for my hubby!
3:53 - 4:46 is my favorite part of the song, ESPECIALLY 4:28 - 4:46...I find myself crying tears of joy...listening to the music climax just FEELS so damn good to my soul.
Amazing. We have lost touch w real instruments. No shade to the levels of production these days, but sonething other worldly comes thru the real vibrations of string instruments.. the banging of the snare. Beautiful
I had this whole album on while I was on my laptop working. Caught myself smiling HARD as this track played. Lord I miss this man's music. I don't know what this nonsense is they play on the radio these days.
It's about to be really sad for some of these "producers" out here who thought they could ride that ratchet @** music forever! Real music is like real love, and it always wins. So happy to see D'Angelo back.
Hands down my favorite song on the album!! I have already made it my ringtone. Yes I am that corny! If I could make it my theme music as I walk into a room -- I would do it too! God I love this song!!!
It's sad, that a lot of people have been forced to listen to garbage music for so long, that they're not going to appreciate this album. This album is on another level. And some people, just haven't reached that level yet.
You are so so right, I'm a guitarist, getting on a bit haha, I just love great playing, live playing (not always) but most importantly artistry, any genre of music..this album is breathtaking
Oh....my.....WOW! D'ANGELO please do not keep me waiting for you and your musical genius this long EVER again!!! I need this music therapy in my life like I need water. This gift is what God gave to you to move through you & keep the world spinning. Thank you for this!
The lyric "I would never betray my heart", along with the melody, is one that sticks with you. D'Angelo hit a monster home run with this new "Black Messiah" LP & this track is one of many highlights.
This is reminiscent of 70's soul music. You can even visualize the bell bottom slacks and afro hair style. Hopefully its a trend back to good music by real talented musicians.
I'm not one for favourites..However...'Root' from Voodoo would have to be up there on my most loved list...Now, this track!!!....It finishes and I can't stop replaying.....GOLDEN
There are a few in music who have had an impact on me such as D'Angelo. His releases always leave you in deep thought and anticipating for more. Pity that genius such as this cannot come annually. It has to take time to be brewed in perfectly.
The best way to listen to this album is through stereo headphones. Even if cheap ones are used... to get the full effect of this genius, use stereo headphones!
This and Mary J Blige's "The London Sessions" are the first two albums that I will purchase in 5 years. Music is love, I believe that music and food can remind us of our common ground.
Simple the man a is genius in his own right. no need for comparisons to any one. He is awesome, awesome, awesome. Did I say Awesome God Damn awesome. I love you Michael Eugene Archer.
Evan Redmon That's an interesting concept because technically, this is not quite today's music in a sense because D'Angelo is an established artist who busted on the scene about 20 years ago so he really wouldn't quite be "today's music". I would like to see music of this caliber come from the actual new artists who are truly architects of "today's music". There is no new artist even close to D'Angelo's musical standard, which is sad actually.
Well the mainstream music industry is certainly not interested in this. The traditions from which D'Angelo emerged are going extinct like a species of fish swimming in a sea of toxic waste. Apprenticeship and creative genius has given way to The Voice and video game musicians. The powers that be like it that way. Makes people easier to control. Why waste all that effort being clever when you can just make millions by regurgitating the same robotic pop slop every year? D'Angelo just bought real music back. The man is a hero as far as I am concerned. It's far too complex and introspective, and the lyrical themes are too controversial and nuanced, for most people. The industry's favorite puppets - white teenage girls - wouldn't even begin to comprehend what this is (the vast majority anyway - imagine a 17 year old Snooki clone, adrift in the emptiness of One Direction and Taylor Swift, and this hits her? Please.) Yes, it's based in the R&B traditions going way back, but this is a explosive layer cake of creative genre bending. Heck I'm 45, and a musician, and I'm just coming to terms with I have heard. I hear as much Parliament as I do Prince here, but then Spanish guitar drops? Why the heck not. And accessible pop sensibilities? Just because he can. And Marvin Gaye, and Hendrix, and bebop, and acid jazz, and progressive rock...give me a few days and I'm sure more will be revealed. I mean, just listen to "Prayer". Do you hear those subtle off-time signatures? I don't even know what to call that. Plus there's a very intentional, spiritually-based response to the cesspool of gratuitous occult shock pop out there. It's also a firm, confident bitch slap across the face of our culture's hypocritical morals and industrialized lies. This EXACTLY what the industry does not want, and EXACTLY what we all need. It's new alright.
Como el día debe tener su sol As the day must have its sun Y la noche debe tener su luna And the night must have its moon Claro que ambos deben subir y bajar Sure as both must rise and fall Estaré allí para verte I'll be there to see you through Siempre y cuando haya tiempo Just as long as there is time Nunca me iré de tu lado I will never leave your side Y si alguna vez te sientes And if ever that you feel Que mi amor no es sincero That my love is not sincere Nunca traicionaré mi corazón I will never betray my heart Como la brisa que sopla en junio Like the breeze that blows in June Te mantendré estable I will steady keep you cool Esto lo juro con todo lo que es verdad This I swear with all that's true No tomaré nada en tu lugar I'll take nothing in place of you Cuando te sientes deprimido, deprimido, deprimido When you're feeling down, down, down Tú, alma mía, puedes depender de mí You, my soul, can depend on me Nunca tienes que temer You don't ever have to fear Que mi amor no es sincero That my love is not sincere Nunca traicionaré mi corazón I will never betray my heart A través de la tormenta, a través de la lluvia Through the storm, through the rain Vendré corriendo para aliviar tu dolor I'll come running to ease your pain Como los rieles que cruzan los trenes Like the rails that cross the trains Como la sangre en tus venas Like the blood in your veins Nunca traicionaré mi corazón I will never betray my heart
I LOVE this cd, there's elements of spiritually good & wickedly bad overtures, the rhythm of the drums, his voice, all meshed together for a great listening experience...
This arrangement is from a musical galaxy still yet undiscovered. The level of genius and skill exhibited here from the vocal to the musicality, to the timing and background harmonies are utterly incomprehensible. To say this is mind blowing is a massive understatement.
Bro...
Its Wes Montgomery in 3D Imax
Those bass lines are truly a killer
Word!
Heart Filling ❤️
Everytime I listen to D'Angelo it's a spiritual experience. The bridge is heavenly.
"Betray My Heart" LYRICS
As the day must have it's sun
And the night must have it's moon
Sure as both must rise and fall
I'll be there to see you through
Just as long as there is time
I will never leave your side
And if ever that you feel
That my love is not sincere
[Chorus:]
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart
Like the breeze that blows in June
I will steady keep you cool
This I swear with all that's true
I'll take nothing in place of you
When you're feeling down, down, down
You, my soul, can depend on me
You don't ever have to fear
That my love is not sincere
[Chorus:]
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart
[Bridge:]
Through the storm, through the rain
I'll come running to ease your pain
Like the rails that cross the trains
Like the blood in your veins
[Chorus:]
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart
I will never betray my heart
Thank you for the lyrics....reminds me of Stevie Wonder "As".....instant vintage....LONG LIVE THE FUNK.
That song is the truth
My God....the lyrics are so beautiful!!
+Laddy Gibbons How in the world did you come up with this? However you did it, good job.
Thank you.☮1⃣💜
This generation of "artists" seriously need to take notes. The smoothest song I've heard in YEARS.
This song is a movie, a painting, a poem a movement. When something is a real as this......it's more than physical, more than spiritual, it's a peek into other dimension we can't comprehend the energies at force here
The Whole Album A movie 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This.
Hear hear!
People sleeping on the depth of this masterpiece. The Charade is my fave, for reasons, but this one is a musical gem of the rarest quality. It's overflowing with artful, tasteful excellence. Just lovely. 💙
this is the best response ever
This is so spiritual, this song talk to the spirit ✨
I still don't think D'Angelo realizes how big of an impact he is, dude is an icon....... and I'm from Virginia lol so we were all excited for him when he first stepped on the scene..... wish another album was on the way.......

@Wilson Moody and @Abena Awiti Dikeledi both of you have expressed yourselves well. I pray that D’Angelo reads both of your comments ❤😊
"Through the storm, through the rain
I'll come running to ease your pain
Like the rails that cross the trains
Like the blood in your veins"
-D'Angelo
Beautiful lines
I have never listened out his music. This is beautiful.
@@theMad_Artist hello
Oh yeah, how are you?
Peaches JAMAICA HARLEM 🍑 🇯🇲
Lovely name
This album is very sophisticated. Not for everyone. He literally raised my musical IQ.
Definitely not for everyone. And everyone doesn’t deserve good music like this lol
sameness
Ich liebe den Groove, und die Vocal-Performance!!!
You are correct
Ora
my (late) brother got me onto this . He looooooved this album! RIP Bro Kal! 5/20/16
🎼🎤🙏🏽
One of those songs that need to be recognized for generations
Well this what heaven sounds like
Damn. Pino is so deep in this pocket ... he has to look up through binoculars to see lint.
Paddy Daddy-O truly underrated comment
So glad they were awarded the grammy
5 years later, and I’m still bumping this joint like it just came out.
I heard it for the first time around five days ago.
Touch'e
Same here.......................
Its amazing how Motown and Black Soul still sounds good in this era..if anything, Black Soul is a breath of fresh air with all this new music coming out!
This album is making me feel grown...I'm in my 40's and I have not felt this way in a very long time about music...yasss..D'Angelo is giving me life right now.. can't wait to rock this for my hubby!
I always find myself coming back to this song. Always.
Me to!
it's really dope
3:53 - 4:46 is my favorite part of the song, ESPECIALLY 4:28 - 4:46...I find myself crying tears of joy...listening to the music climax just FEELS so damn good to my soul.
Just came over to listen to this classic after Masego mentioned it in his interview on R&B Money.
What an ear orgasm...I literally listened to the song on repeat ALL day! D'angelo is a music god.
Amazing. We have lost touch w real instruments. No shade to the levels of production these days, but sonething other worldly comes thru the real vibrations of string instruments.. the banging of the snare. Beautiful
i'll bang your snare.......
True indeed!
Facts
@@cianb5764 gwarn cian
analog
I refuse to steal this....I'm going to the store to cop this.
Yes!
I'm sure D'Angelo will appreciate whatever is left over after the record label picks the bones clean.
I had this whole album on while I was on my laptop working. Caught myself smiling HARD as this track played. Lord I miss this man's music. I don't know what this nonsense is they play on the radio these days.
Masego, put me on. Giving a real musician his flowers! Underrated for sure….shoutout to r&b money pod cast. ❤
This explodes my brain. Such a masterpiece of a song. Can't stop listening...
Matthew Phipps a masterpiece right?!!!
The bass guitar and them horns are just sick.
What I love about the horns is how sensitive and softly stated they are... Just adds that extra bit of tenderness and love
D' and The Vanguard killed this track, that baseline is intoxicating.
VERY VERY 'WICKED' BASSLINE!!!, UNIQUE!!!!!
D'Angelo just....gets...it
This is so reminiscent of Stevie Wonder's "As". It's not an easy task to come close to that level of poetry yet here we are with this art!!!
I never thought of that but I hear it now!
Whwn he says "stay right there" that's exactly how I feel when this track escalates..shit is crazy. Can't wait for the tour.
Personally, this is my favorite from this amazing album. If this doesn't spell love, then I don't know what does.
This sounds so good, I may have to buy my first album in 10 years
BUY IT!!!!!!!!!
Buy it.
Ste'ven -Just Cruise. Y'all should look that up.
Really dope. Only listening to that song and D'angelo
right now.
missanamarie
BOUGHT IT :-)
SoulVibez lol
One of the best songs I ever heard in my life!
Every song is love. This album reaches every depth of my soul.
an awesome album, teaches you how to love.
You have a beautiful smile. Random...but yeah this song stood out to me a few years back when it dropped. One of his best joints
i been under a rock for 5 years and you won grammys for this album toooooooo.wth fireeeeeee
I dont know i enjoy more. Listen to this phenomenal ulbum or the comments from all you genuine, old soul music lovers.
I know right!! I love the comments...
SO BEAUTIFL!!! - NO 2 WAYZ ABOUT IT!!!!
Both!
@@kitsontuli2713 yebo!
Grammy!!! Best R&B Album
It's about to be really sad for some of these "producers" out here who thought they could ride that ratchet @** music forever! Real music is like real love, and it always wins. So happy to see D'Angelo back.
Absolutely! I think D's music is right on time too. It really fits into the current social climate. I am so happy to have him back!
Agreed.
I certainly don't have a problem waiting for the follow-up to "Voodoo" for 14 years if D' Angelo continues to produce quality music like this.
Nate Jacobs exactly lol
Yes!!!
Hands down my favorite song on the album!! I have already made it my ringtone. Yes I am that corny! If I could make it my theme music as I walk into a room -- I would do it too! God I love this song!!!
It's sad, that a lot of people have been forced to listen to garbage music for so long, that they're not going to appreciate this album. This album is on another level. And some people, just haven't reached that level yet.
so, say... they can only get to enjoy it in *another life*?... ;)

lol good one
Indeed bruh... indeed

!
Dangelo is KING!
Sure is!
Dare I say this is one of the best tracks I've ever heard in any genre! I'm high AF but this song (first time hearing it) hit special.
😂😂😂❤❤
This is such a wonderful song. Exactly how D'Agelo had to sound for us real D'Angelo fans to know that he really is back. MAGIC!!!
Got to be the best track on what is a flawless album for me. Wish it was three time as long
This is music at it's finest
Nous sommes en 2024, je l'écoute et pourtant c'est comme si je découvrais une nouvelle chanson.
D'Angelo est vraiment incroyable ❤
Oh....my.....WOW! D'ANGELO please do not keep me waiting for you and your musical genius this long EVER again!!! I need this music therapy in my life like I need water.
This gift is what God gave to you to move through you & keep the world spinning.
Thank you for this!
Wow! I was sleepy but then I listened to this and now I feel like I have at least another two hours left in me!
The lyric "I would never betray my heart", along with the melody, is one that sticks with you. D'Angelo hit a monster home run with this new "Black Messiah" LP & this track is one of many highlights.
FAVORITE song on the album. Haven't stopped listening or singing since yesterday. The world NEEDS this!!!!
This song speaks to my soul...just wanna lay next to my love, look into his eyes, sing this to him and restore his faith in me x
The bridge.....stay right here !
HOW DOES THE MAN COME OUT EVERY 10 to 15 YEARS, GET SLEPT ON BY MAIN STREAM. AND STILL HAVE THE MOST EPIC SOUL MUSIC OUT. THE MAN NEEDS HIS OWN GENRE.
best album of the decade. hands down
Man I Love how he's off and on beat at the same time this is real smooth good music
He was always the master of that
The horns, the base, the guitar, the percussion, and the voice... 👌🏾
This is reminiscent of 70's soul music. You can even visualize the bell bottom slacks and afro hair style. Hopefully its a trend back to good music by real talented musicians.
I love rnb but will never neglect jazz and soul like this
What
The BASS LINE is S E R I O U S❗️🎶❗️🎶❗️
sho iz
been bumping this in my car for the past three days and today i brought up youtube to play the goat all day at my desk. love is all love!
+Hipped Rebel It's been 8 months on continuous replay ( and 18 months of just D'Angelo). Good music doesn't get played out.
Cannot stop listening to this album. Thank God for D.
oh my god when this hits 2:53 it does something to me.
Yeah, man!! Exactly 1 min later, the song goes another level....Jesus!
I'm not one for favourites..However...'Root' from Voodoo would have to be up there on my most loved list...Now, this track!!!....It finishes and I can't stop replaying.....GOLDEN
timeless music, I'll forever come back to this.
That small soft cut at 0:30 just blows my head off. Awesome tune!!!
There are a few in music who have had an impact on me such as D'Angelo. His releases always leave you in deep thought and anticipating for more. Pity that genius such as this cannot come annually. It has to take time to be brewed in perfectly.
The best way to listen to this album is through stereo headphones. Even if cheap ones are used... to get the full effect of this genius, use stereo headphones!
I don't care what anyone says, this is his best song, it's just so pure and genuine. Sweet and simple, expressing undying love
Listen to the voodoo album then get back to me
@@okmswise8349 i love voodoo but this is still my favorite man
Probably my favorite song on the album.
This and Mary J Blige's "The London Sessions" are the first two albums that I will purchase in 5 years. Music is love, I believe that music and food can remind us of our common ground.
3:50 and beyond...all other musicians take a seat.
For real!
Man O'Neal Oh....I just get goosebumps listening to this part...especially as it builds in intensity....
A beautiful record and a beautiful album, D'Angelo. Congrats on the release and thank you for sharing it with us all.
OMG! I bout to loose it! the slight tempo change WOWSERS!!! things I like!
We needed this...its been too long. The musical arrangement is high quality...he picked up where he left off. Nice.
This song was made 27 years ago Pino Pallidino said 😮
sick sick groove
The groove is crazy! Pino is the man!!
My heart iand ears are so happy right now...This is what love sounds like I swear!!
This song is freakin' beautiful!!!
Masego mentioned it on the R&B money podcast; I had to refresh my memory.🎶
This beat has so many different patterns and timing! Amazing.. I am speechless
Y'all Pino never disappoints and Roy Hargrove (RIP) on the horn * heart melts* I love this song its my Mantra. I sing this everyday to myself💜💜💜
Simple the man a is genius in his own right. no need for comparisons to any one. He is awesome, awesome, awesome. Did I say Awesome God Damn awesome. I love you Michael Eugene Archer.
This is classic right here, I think this album is a combination of everthing we've come to love about D'angelo.
Does anybody else understand that he is talking from the perspective of Jesus in this song?
I'm gonna need present day artists to take note.
The next time I hear someone say "today's music sucks", I'm going to have an answer. A very positive answer.
Evan Redmon That's an interesting concept because technically, this is not quite today's music in a sense because D'Angelo is an established artist who busted on the scene about 20 years ago so he really wouldn't quite be "today's music".

My favourite song on the album, absolutely LOVE it
He's so gifted.
Love this track. Soulfully well done.
Love this man's music, can't get enough of it. True Artist. Writes and produces his own music, they don't come like this anymore.
Como el día debe tener su sol
As the day must have its sun
Y la noche debe tener su luna
And the night must have its moon
Claro que ambos deben subir y bajar
Sure as both must rise and fall
Estaré allí para verte
I'll be there to see you through
Siempre y cuando haya tiempo
Just as long as there is time
Nunca me iré de tu lado
I will never leave your side
Y si alguna vez te sientes
And if ever that you feel
Que mi amor no es sincero
That my love is not sincere
Nunca traicionaré mi corazón
I will never betray my heart
Como la brisa que sopla en junio
Like the breeze that blows in June
Te mantendré estable
I will steady keep you cool
Esto lo juro con todo lo que es verdad
This I swear with all that's true
No tomaré nada en tu lugar
I'll take nothing in place of you
Cuando te sientes deprimido, deprimido, deprimido
When you're feeling down, down, down
Tú, alma mía, puedes depender de mí
You, my soul, can depend on me
Nunca tienes que temer
You don't ever have to fear
Que mi amor no es sincero
That my love is not sincere
Nunca traicionaré mi corazón
I will never betray my heart
A través de la tormenta, a través de la lluvia
Through the storm, through the rain
Vendré corriendo para aliviar tu dolor
I'll come running to ease your pain
Como los rieles que cruzan los trenes
Like the rails that cross the trains
Como la sangre en tus venas
Like the blood in your veins
Nunca traicionaré mi corazón
I will never betray my heart
Roy Hargove's horn line at 4:29 knocks me over
BRUH im only 14 years old and kno every D'ANGELO song from all 3 albums. my favorite singer of all time

me 2 man me 2 this album is soo good
This is greater than great piece of soulful song .Thank you Mr. DÁngelo .
This is such a hot & loving music style not everyone will understand 😍👌🏼💯🔥
I LOVE this cd, there's elements of spiritually good & wickedly bad overtures, the rhythm of the drums, his voice, all meshed together for a great listening experience...
Never betray my love for good music. 👌😁
Oh yeah, and I hope we ain't got to wait 10 years till the next
Still listening to this track January 2020
The beat is crazy but so simple
He moves my soul...
My favourite track from the album soo smooth!
