AUGUSTINE
My father was a young man
my mother off the boat,
my eyes were fresh at 21,
bruised but still afloat
our heads have hit the pavement,
many times before,
you stroke his face to soothe him,
while knowing that there’s more
See, Augustine
Late have I loved and chose to see
Skin on his skin,
a warmth that I can feel with him.
And no one even told me
the way that you should feel
tell me did you lose your son? tell me did you lose your love?
Cry and burst my deafness, while Trayvon falls asleep.
The things that I would do to you
The things that I could do to you
See, Augustine
Late have I loved and chose to see
Skin on his skin,
a warmth that I can feel with him.
Nontetha,
we heard it all from you
Nontetha,
we waited here for you (x2)
Nontetha,
kushé-o aw di bodi
Nontetha,
aw di fambul dem?

@daviddolan3195 5 лет назад

not underrated at all. Hes just not marketable to the mainstream music industry which is not the same thing as The Art Industry. Art is not marketable. Real Music is not marketable anymore. In fact Mainstream Music has never been as bad as it currently is right now and it will continue to get worse.

@mollyblume1546 6 лет назад

In this video (I'm writing a school essay about his album), I've found that Dev has many small hidden things throughout the film. Such as, the hat he is wearing has the flag of Guyana (the country his mother is from), he is standing in front of the three colors of green, white and blue (Sierra Leone's flag where Dev's father is from). He also is eating inside of a Guyana style restaurant while wearing a shirt that has the royal arms of England (where Dev was raised). In the beginning it shows book/magazines that include "Saint Augustine of Hippo", a TIME magazine cover of "After Trayvon", and a "Black Queer Studies" book. One of the dancers is wearing a "Peace Corps" shirt which is a volunteer program that helps people who are not from America, learn about American culture as well as help Americans learn about other countries cultures. I'm still trying to figure out a few things, such as what the handshake means (if it means anything) that Dev did with the restaurant owner, as well as twice throughout the film (4:14 and 4:39) there is a flash and if paused at the right moment, there is a white background with a black hole. I'm sure he has a few more hidden features that I didn't catch, so if you find anything please share!

@daysrod3798 5 лет назад

That handshake (in restaurant) is a Rastafarian brethren greeting! Many live in Guayana being Carribbeans!

@Izeezus 5 лет назад

May I read the essay? Just listened to Freetown sound, still feel like I missed out on Alot :)

@Mmxxaamm 5 лет назад

The white background with the black hole it's quite interesting. At first I thought it was a normal burn film effect but when paused I realized it was this poorly cut hole through this kind of plastic pvc white texture, and if you look closely you'll notice white dust scattered through the surface. Have you manage to identify what it was?

Devonte has a lot of passion and his singing really reminds us to remember with everything going on in the world right now at least we have memories no one can take from us and our history to teach to heal and the love and connection to faith. His voice has so much soul and is so beautiful and has such a range. ❤

Nontetha Nkwenkwe was an early 20th century Xhosa spiritual leader. "Kushé-o aw di bodi" is a phrase spoken in Krio, an English-based creole language spoken throughout Sierra Leone. I believe it translates to "Lay your body down", tho I am not certain & hope that I am not misunderstanding the lyric.

llevo escuchando a dev desde hace dos años sin parar, no hay dia en mi vida en que sus canciones no sean reproducidas. acabo de pasar una situacion, vuelvo a creer en el amor, pero sobre todo vuelvo a tener fe en las personas gracias a una chica de españa que recientemente vino a mexico a visitarme, ella es tan diferente, tan unica, como esta canción. desgraciadamente me encuentro en dolor porque lo que sentí sigue a flor de piel, pero no puedo controlarlo, y mi corazon llora por la lejania y la complejidad que representa sentirla lejos de mi. escucho esta canción y veo este video y no puedo evitar pensar en ella, espero que pronto pueda bailar esta canción con ella. Si ves esto algun dia, te agradezco toda mi vida el amor que me has devuelto, tu corazón es lo mas lindo que he tenido cerca, te amo.
