Frank Ocean - Blonde Tribute 

the transition from seigfried to pink + white cleared my skin

I wish I could erase this album from my mind and re-listen to it for the first time again.

When black and asian culture meet, great things happen. We need cultural fusion more often in our world

This is the greatest RU-vid video of all time.

2:06 *sex is great but that transition tho.*

3 years of Blonde. Thanks Frank. Take all the time you need.

Been here multiple times almost every month for 3 years now, still get teary eyed every time whilst listening to this.

Seigfried- 0:01 Pink+White- 2:05 Nights- 3:55 Nikes- 5:33 Skyline To- 7:14 Be Yourself- 7:26 Pretty Sweet- 8:15 ✨ Your Welcome ✨

Seigfried honestly feels like coming home, it's so nostalgic to me

I am sad all I can give is a like

i lost my v-card, playing frank ocean's orange album..

For those who are curious for the anime titles here ; 00:07 Akira 2:05 Castle in the Sky 5:33 Spirited Away I believe that's all the anime

The first time I listened to Siegfried I was on the subway in Chicago. I had just moved there. I was staring out the window at the city skyline and the sparks from the metal wheels flickered on all the brick buildings. The lyric "I've been living in an idea from another man's mind" always gives me chills. That song transported me to another world. I love how powerful this album is.

Everybody talking about the transition of Siegfried to Pink+White but the transition from Nikes to Skyline to is also amazing.

I used to fall asleep to this every night during a rough part of my life. It's no longer just an incredible and calming AMV to me, it's fully engrained into the story of my life and no matter how long I go without watching/listening to it, the Toho Scope visual with the opening chords to Seigfried will ALWAYS send chills down my spine. Not to mention the life changing effect Castle in the Sky had on my childhood, I wish I could have this video play constantly in my mind.

That transition from Seigfried to Pink+White is out of this world

Had my first kiss while this video was playing..

it’s 2020, here I am at 3 am

It’s been 6 years since this album was released. I’ve listened to this a countless amount, with each listen slightly altered from the last. When this masterpiece was originally released, I used to listen to it as a 17 year old, often in tears, to direct my thoughts through a hard breakup, to clear my mind, to take me away from the noise of life around me. The whole experience I get when listening to the album has slowly morphed from a place of seclusion a depression through to a place of contemplation and, now I’m in a great place in life, it’s an opportunity for reflection and appreciation of just how much has changed since I was that struggling 17 year old. I think the subjectivity of the whole album is what so many people resonate with, it has turned into a soundtrack for a chapter in so many peoples lives because Frank has created this experience that has just enough vagueness and mystery for you to fill the gaps with your own experiences, and I think that’s why when I listen to the album now, it’s such a contrasting experience for me from when I first listened to it as an adolescent.

2021, and I’m still listening to this all alone in my room

My English bad but this song fucking!

I watched the clock going from 23:59 to 00:00. It's my first birthday living on my own in another city. This video felt like the proper thing have on.

this video has gotten me through a lot of stuff throughout all of highschool. i’m now 22 and this STILL has a major impact on me.

Every morning I wake up and listen to this so I can fight my depression

i don't know why i started tearing up

Thank God this has no ads

A friend showed me this almost 4 years ago, we are no longer friends but I am forever grateful for her showing me this.

You almost put this together better than Frank did. True artists the both of you.

this song (siegfred) sound so nostalgic,but i dont know why

i watch this shit every single day every single day

July 2022… who would’ve thought I’d be back here after all these years. What a wonderful masterpiece this video and album really are. Truly a top record of my lifetime if not ever.

This is my comfort video, I always come back to it. It's so beautifully made everything about it just makes me so happy. thank you

Wow. I was honestly only going to skim thru this. But that transition with pink and white to the title totally hooked me. Ended up watching it twice. Amazing job mate!

This video just took me back to the most magical memory, it's like I'm reliving it. About a year ago, when I was 16, I was going through one of those weird parts in youth where you just feel lost, but looking back it's as if every day had incredible significance. It's weird. But I had discovered Frank recently and was absolutely addicted to blonde. It was summer, and I was looking at cinemaclock trying to find a movie me and my best friend could see for a night I had off work. We had been watching some of the classic studio Ghiblis recently, and I was shocked to see Akira playing at a theatre in downtown, at 11 or 12 at night. I was hyped, and my friend was in. However, the night of the movie, he cancelled on me for whatever reason. I was disappointed, but on a whim I decided to still go. I convince my parents to let me go despite the pouring rain, and I drive there. It's a really weird new indie theatre, and there's pretty few people there. Anyway the movie was a blur but I remember watching it and coming out almost in a daze, back into the rain very late at night. I took a very long way home under the city lights, and I listened to blonde and another album, then layed awake in bed for most of the rest of the night thinking existential thoughts, trying to figure the point of Akira out. I don't know why this felt so significant, but I just felt the weight of the world and the joy of life and the blessing of youth and idk, I felt like I had experienced something special. Everything was so perfect it was like cliche. Thinking back it's something more than nostalgia, I can't say what it is but this video perfectly captures it and brings the memory back to me. Thankyou

This is such a ridiculously good aesthetic, even years later.

Blonde is the soundtrack to my late teens, early adulthood and will always feel liberating. This video is fantastic

that transition from siegfried to pink+white NEVER fails to give me chills😭

I don't usually comment but I think this may just be my favorite video to ever exist, I really can't put into words how much I love this. The crossover we never knew we needed

Once in a while, for the last 10 years or so, İ just need to come listen to this mixed masterpiece

this video feels like a comfort character in any type of movies or shows

The idea to bring together these colorful visuals with Frank's other worldy sound is fucking remarkable. Thank you for combining these two. It's amazing how many people could identify with everything with these sounds and visuals.

0:05 Seigfried 2:07 Pink + White 3:55 Nights 5:33 Nikes 7:14 Skyline To 8:15 Pretty Sweet

I come back to this video every 2-3 months . Frank Ocean's works of music helped me clear my mind during a very dark turn of my life . It still helps .

This is one of the few videos on RU-vid that I constantly come back to.

Siegfried acting as an intro to Pink + White is perfect!

I was super late to this album until last summer when my best friend played nights while we were cruising one night and every time I hear it now I think about him he passed last August I miss you bro

I’m going to let her go. My friend told me why love someone when they dont appreciate you. That shit hit diff frfr

One of my favorite videos on the internet.

I’ve realized that some people get it and others don’t get the feeling for this album. If you get it it’s the ultimate nostalgia soundtrack and a whole different vibe, it’s one of the few albums that the more you live the better it sounds.

What a superb transition from "Pink + White" to the outro of "Nights" is SOOOO beautiful. That song is a hypnotizing and memorizing masterpiece. Frank is such a talented musical genius. Cannot love this enough.

This might be my favorite RU-vid video ever

4 years later and I still watch this almost every other day.

"This might be cool" *watches video* "Akira and Siegfried ... ok i feel this" *Pink+White/Castle In The Sky starts* "wow.... " *Ending* *calls my EX in tears*

This is music that makes you feel like you’re soaring through an endless sky. This is what freedom sounds like.

Welcome back, this wont be the last time you will be here :)

Geez the Japanese 80s sci-fi films really takes my breath away

If you made one for endless it would be sick, but I fucking love this you blended the songs together perfectly.

5 yrs has passed and I still want this video played at my funeral

I got an ad between the pink+white and nights transition and that killed the whole mood 😢

I really connected with this on an emotional level. This album and these movies are my most favorite things. As I keep going back to them. Thank you.

frank ocean & studio ghilbi is the best mashup ever created

I was hospitalized for two days due to surgery on my knee, I am terrified of injections and this mix helps me a lot to calm down and find peace of mind. From Argentina 🙌

I remember years ago when this video dropped specifically, because its the only song I actually go out of my way to search every so often. I love this mashup, with the beautiful visuals. Truly a masterpiece on making you feel something that you dont feel on an everyday basis

i love Channel Orange but how can one say it's better than the masterpiece that is Blonde

When that pink kite pops up on my screen during the Siegfried to Pink + White transition all my life’s woes just seem to fade, that’s some real powerful shit…and that’s on goddd

I’ve been crying for an hour now just listening to this beautiful video over and over again. This album makes me experience all my emotions and feelings at once. Thank you for this wonderful masterpiece, truly appreciate it very much

Can't belive I've only just found this. This is so perfect, it honestly made me cry. The first time I listened to this album, I was on a coach journey in Japan. This video encapsulates that memory so well. Takes me back to a simpler time... before I had any experience with all the things teenage life brings with it. Sometimes I think blond was a warning to my younger self, Frank was trying to caution me. I can no longer listen to blond casually, it's a once a month experience. I brew tea, sit at the end of my bed, and listen to it start to finish. I find it hard not to shed a tear at certain points (cough cough seigfried cough) thank you Frank and thank you to whoever created this masterpiece

Who else was scared this was taken down! 😭

Obrigado pela recomendação RU-vid, esse é um dos melhores vídeos que já vi na plataforma.

I love how at 08:15, it ends so magical. The fact I can listen to a song, with you guys on this app, and share the same meaningful experience with you. Makes me feel so honored to live in this time period.

This Album literally carried me through my teenage years and something would be missing if it didn’t exist. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING.

listening to frank ocean just makes me feel some sort of way, unlike any other artist I've ever listened to like I wanna cry but also like makes me oddly calm and relaxed and content idk lol i probably just need to go to bed.

I love how chill everybody is in this comment section

That Pink + White transition made my heart skip a beat.

Akira is a sick movie

Nikes + Spirited Away = 10/10

It has been years since I watched this daily and I always cry listening to this

The feeling of falling off into the rabbit whole and at the bottom, GOLD.

nights is no doubt the most honest and beautiful song from this album

the transition from seigfried to pink + white took the breath out of my body i swear

It’s December 28th 2020. 3 more days til December 31st, the last day of 2020. This year has been challenging for sure. but despite all the negative things that happened, this year definitely showed us some light too. just grateful to make it through this year and to be typing this comment right now. I love you guys. You did great. Everything’s going to be okay and I am So proud of you. Keep pushing. We’re almost there. I promise we will make it. We will make it. We will make it. All love. Godspeed ❤️ - kayla nord 12/28/2020

Spirited away and Castle in the Sky are two movies from my childhood, that great music of frank and the scenes of that movies it's amazing.

this is absolutely, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful collaborative pieces of art to ever exist in our time.

The transition from nikes to skyline to is one of the most beautiful things I have heard. Legit made me cry

This is one of my favourite videos on youtube, its sensory overload for everything i appreciate in art and media

this is my favourite video ever. not an exaggeration.

i wish u could meet everyone in the comments. Y'all share the same passion and love I have for Frank. Sending my positive vibes to everyone here ✌

SO GOD DAMN WELL MADE DUDE HOLY SHIT

Back 6 years later, 2023 is nice. Thanks again for making something so beautiful. I hope you’re doing well and experiencing joy.

This album feels like a lifetime

I still can't get over the fact that a human made music like this in my life time. You have to be a special type to jerk that type of emotion out of this amount of people.

These transitions give chills

2022 and still hit different

“i thought that i was dreaming when you said you loved me”🤍❣️

THE. BEST. ALBUM. EVER!

AKIRA with Frank Ocean. I didn't knew i wanted this.

yall dont understand how much im inlove with this video.

I have to watch this every time it pops up in the background when I'm listening
