Childish Gambino - Sober 

Can we take a minute to appreciate this man's artistic range.

This man can literally do whatever he wants to do. Sing, dance, act, write songs, do comedy, drama, disappear for a long time and just come back to drop hits, upload a whole damn album on your RU-vid for free. A personification of the word artist.

I just noticed when she moves away the music fades away because she was the music to him, him not being sober, the drug.

So then she was his drug. He was weak, looked sick before he came over to her. His face and energy changes as soon as he's near her. He reaches the height of his fix when he starts dancing and the lights start flickering. When she leaves the high is over and he's back to his lonely sober state. This man is a genius. I love his art form. *I LOVE the Peacock Dance he did for her. I need my next mate to do this exact dance to get my attention or I don't even want him. 😂😂😂

god was having a good day when he created donald glover

“I wonder what happened in those other timelines”- Abed

This is one of those music videos you just never forget.

If I look at this as a metaphor for a relationship developing but going nowhere it hits deep. It's a dance. You act a certain way to try and seduce the other person, they don't show interest initially but they eventually see good qualities in you, give you a chance, but ultimately it you're not made for eachother and the attraction is gone

if someone handed me a perfectly intact egg out their pocket and it had a note in it that said "im so high" i would 110% believe them

I finally realized what this music video means! In the beginning Donald looks ill, he is pale and has bags under his eyes, He basically looks like an addict that is going through Drug withdrawal. then he meets a Girl and he starts to feel his high again, he looks healthy & happy again. Him and the Girl have some fun, but eventually she leaves the restaurant, As soon as she leaves Donald starts to lose his high again. He then sits down at the table he was sitting at before he met the girl, implying that there is a continuous cycle of him finding a girl and being lonely after the girl leaves. the whole ("Ill never be sober, now i'm so high") hook implies that he will never be normal (emotionally), he will either be NOT High (Sad) or High (In Love) *the clock not moving represents that nothing has changed, he keeps going through the same cycle without anything changing

This man deserves way more attention. Props to him

I love how he just sits back down again, like he's doing this to everyone there.

His face, his movements are so expressive. He is a gifted artist.

Worker 1:what’s going on with the lights. Worker2:Oh it’s just Donald with another girl again

the ending gives me chills every single time! Something about the way he sits back in the same spot he was sitting in the beginning.

2023 this still hits. Immaculate talent

Dat finger moon walk doe.

I’ve recently developed a Childish Gambino/Donald Glover obsession. This man is crazy talented and weirdly wonderful. Hence, the obsession.

Its January 2022, lets see how many legends are listening to this masterpiece💚

The definition of timeless music

GAMBINO IS A MASTERMIND

“Aye man you finna order sum?”

The audio quality is awe-inspiring and you can really sense it with the mixing of the tracks. They tenderly made every song with heavy emphasis on the audio being superb. The album follows the theme of a young man figuring out his way in life weather it be friends or heartbreak to a tee. You can really feel the album come in one big melting pot focusing on the highs and lows of a teenager growing into the man he desperately wants to become. The flow of the album starts off with a low somber tone song to set the tone and crescendo's all the way to the high point of the album when the first track of side B comes on (The Palisades) and then slowly falls down. There are a variety of song messages. In some it talks about friendship growing up and having to let go of those. Others it talks about a somber heartache that never leaves. This all takes place on a sunset of Kauai, Hawaii, which is shown on the artwork. For the young adults, this album will surely resonate with you and leaves you peaceful knowing that everything will pass and come together.

Reading the comments, everyone is putting the song together with how the song resonates with them. And i just think its so beautiful a song can do that.

I tried this and got arrested. Had the egg and everything.

If only he dropped more music. Such a talented individual.

I pray whoever reads this becomes successful.

This is quite possibly one of the greatest music videos ever.

honestly one of the most talented people i have ever heard of

Gambino is a mastermind

Who here in 2024❤❤

The thing that I like about Childish Gambino is that he is so unpredictable! You never know what he may come with! Usually it is something strange and different but has a deeper meaning. He really is a innovative artist in so many ways. His videos make you think and are really something to talk about! I really try to understand how this dude thinks. I don’t really understand him completely. Honestly, I don’t think that we are supposed to. He is the epitome’ of a true artist! Peace.

Employees: don't worry bout that guy he does that with all our customers, we pay him a few cents to give them a little show while they wait.

I like how the clock has not moved at all , it almost feels like all of this was just in his head.

It’s been 7 years and still such a good song.

this man is outrageously underrated and he is a true artistic genius and above that.. no words can truly define this man's work...

I'm sorry but this man may be the greatest celebrity there is . He can sing, act, rap, do stand up, dance like a fish outta water

Jesus the cinematography in these music videos

Letra pra cantar juntinho: And now that it's over, I'll never be sober I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high And now that it's over, I'll never be sober I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high But now I'm so high But now I'm so high But now I'm so high Girl, what's your problem? 'Cause I know it's hard sometimes, baby, just give it some time Oh, honey, now, girl, we can solve them If you just give me some time I can open up your mind If you le-le-let it shine, you can free-ee-ee your mind 'Cause I know And now that it's over, I'll never be sober I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high And now that it's over, I'll never be sober I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high But now I'm so high But now I'm so high But now I'm so high Girl, if it's done right Well you know it's got to be, something wonderful to me Oh, honey, now, girl, give it one night If you just give it a chance, loving you is not my plan 'Cause I know one day you'll see All the things that we can be And I know, no And now that it's over, I'll never be sober (I want to be the only one) I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high And now that it's over, I'll never be sober I couldn't believe, but now I'm so (yeah) high Now I'm so high Now I'm so high Now I'm so high Now I'm so high Now I'm so high Now I'm so high And now that it's over, I'll never be sober I couldn't believe, but now I'm so high Now I'm so high Now I'm so high Now I'm so high fonte: letras.mus.br

I love all the MJ allusions in this. From the vocals, to the ad-libs, to the subtleties in his dance moves. Hell, the keyboard throughout is reminiscent of MJ’s “The Way You Love Me”

Slightly high gambino

1:54 i love it when i just slides out of frame

i wish donald glover and frank ocean makes a music.

This song got me through a rough time in my life. I listen to it every so often thinking of how far I've come since then.

Donald Glover: Singer, Actor, Writer, Dancer, Rapper, Comedian... is there anything this man CAN'T do?

the amount of times I've seen this would confuse the government

Be the Childish Gambino of you. Pour yourself into whatever you love, and keep exploring, you might end up loving something else even more. Dude used to write for 30 Rock and liked it, but he kept exploring. Kept learning, kept growing. Now he's an icon forever.

Dude is SO talented. God did make him special.

That short part where she´s laughing and then dances with him always makes me smile. Just for a few seconds he existed in her world.

Employees at the store be like "Nigga are you eatin' tho"

So we’re all just still coming back to this song?

Troy and Abed in the morning

4:27 Legend Has It That Bino Still Sits In that Chair 'Till This Very Day.

Legend has it he is still sitting in that restaurant singing to strangers. Day. And. Night.

Wow this is pure Nostalgia for me. Wish Gambino released more stuff like this like he did back in the day.

7 years ago I found this song along with wife. Every-time I play this song it takes me to the first night I met her. And for that I’ll never be sober

I aint never has a girlfriend but this shit so deep i miss my ex now

Plot twist: The clock is broken. Gambino sits in the restaurant all day and sings and dances for random women in the place.

This music video is like a short film. Has me confused, enthused, and in awe.

How stellar would it have been to get a collab between this man & Prince?

Did anyone told childish gambino that he looks just like Donald glover like the resemblance is un fucking believable

I wish I was this talented...

I find myself repeatedly coming back to this video because of how much I relate. I oftentimes too need other people to fill the void of me not wanting to be alone. I constantly need the attention of the opposite sex just to feel validated. It puts me at an ultimate high when I'm around the person that validates me just like when Donald was close to his source of happiness. And when the person leaves the high is gone and I inevitably crash.

Was so weird seeing Troy from Community turn into this musical genius... man has some talents. Hope he starts releasing more in the future again.

clock doesnt move, he imagined it all

A wild Gambino doing his mating dance.

love this dudes music

Can’t wait til he puts out more hits

almost all of gambinos music videos have this ominous almost scary feeling to them

this man is pure art

Man, this song is so good it makes me forget the ending to the music video every time.

When he was dancing in the background 😭😭😂 I just love this man-

How great would it be if every Gambino video took place in the same 24 hour diner with consistent characters and weird supernatural shit happening?

This entire song is actually a deleted scene for Joker movie

he is art. i love him and the things he do. nothing but admiration for this man

3:35 can never get enough of this part

I can feel the loneliness at the end.

He spends a lot of time in diners and restaurants it seems.

A dancer, actor, singer, musician and an artist. What a Legend, great song overall.

Donald Glover dances how you dance in the mirror in your house to this song.. spot on man

Frank Ocean + Childish Gambino = Yes, please

Clone Troy is doing really well for himself

THIS IS PURE ART, CHILDISH GAMBINO NEVER DELIVERS LESS.

His movements matches the lyrics! So artistic & poetic☮ Love the electrical lights flashing in response to energy from the woman. And...when she smiled for the first time, so sweet 😇

This is probably one my favorite music videos of all time.

3:00 She is way too unimpressed. If I saw someone do that I'd probably run away in terror.

It upsets me that I didn't listen to this man when he started. Been listening for 2 months now and can't stop.

Can't believe Donald Glover got Childish Gambino to sing and Troy Barnes to feature in his music video.

For me, this video represents a guy who never expresses himself because he's too afraid to be looked at as different. He creates a fantasy where he's charismatic, and weird, and unafraid to dance and be himself. Y'all know that feeling when you want to do you own thing, but you don't want everyone thinking you're the weirdo? When Gambino says, "And now that's it's over/ Ill never be sober/ I couldn't believe/ But now Im so high," what I think he's saying is that he didn't believe he could truly express himself, but now he doesn't care if you think he's weird. He's just going be himself no matter what. Edit: I should add that this is just my interpretation of this video. Maybe for Donald this video means something else, idk. For me, the really cool thing about art is that we can all interpret it in different ways based on our life experiences. So, when you discuss art with someone, you're not just sharing opinions on that specific thing, but you're also sharing life experiences in a certain way.

Imagine donald glover comes to your table then does sign language while hearing music telepathically

His vulnerability is ultimately what makes his music pure art

9 years later and i find myself coming back to this

who is donald glover and why is he posting childish gambino's music

My mom: gives birth to me My dad: 1:55

1 year sober yall jammin this May 2024! One love ❤️

this is a certified hood classic
