Jaydah S I wish those nites lastd 4eva bc 1 day u will forget that moment 2 n even tho it ain’t there no more mayb u still learned what Real Luv is b 1:45
This song, in a beautiful way, literally just feels like summer has ended, she’s/he’s moved on, and you’re just stuck here alone wondering what went wrong.
‘wish we’d grown up on the same advice’….this fucking line. It just so good. Legend. If they grew up on same advice, if their nurturing was same..it would be easier to understand each other’s thoughts, life ..they’d make similar decisions..there’d be more understanding between them. Frank, you are something. I love this song. So much.
i have a really close connection to this song, especially because my dad sounded like frank ocean. he used to love his songs and sing to them perfectly bro. i miss him
That feeling of not being on bad terms, but the eventual and inevitable circumstance of yall not talking anymore and being close. The connection is gone, leading from texting daily to not even texting at all. Now you're rereading texts and looking at old photos you guys had and even old voicemails. It hurts
Self Control and White Ferrari are one of the most beautiful songs i’ve heard. edit: i was in 6th grade when frank dropped his last album, i’m now a junior and he hasn’t dropped since 😢 edit 2: now a senior and i’m going to graduate in may.. still hasn’t dropped an album😔
jiggly puff Frank was already a quiet person that kept to him self, dealing with his own problems but now he has even more to deal with so we don’t see him for a while.
Bro. This song is how I discovered Frank Ocean. I heard it as I was walking into another room and ran back to see who it was. It was on repeat for longer than I want to admit lol. Petition for a new Frank Ocean album 😭🤌🏿
Honestly man, was just w the girl of my dreams... we’ve been in love since homecoming 2019... finally decided to talk to her the very beginning of April, things were perfect she felt the same way, and then all the sudden she’s just not happy, this song made me feel so happy and now it shows how broken I am man.... shits crazy
this song used to make me feel like something was clawing it’s way through my heart. the heartbreak i experienced with my significant other was so immense, and i cried to this song for days, and weeks, and for a long while. i hadn’t listened to it for a few years until it shuffled its way into my spotify queue. i now look back on this song like a bittersweet memory that made me who i am today. i no longer feel the pain that once engulfed my entire life when we separated from each other, even though this song reminds me of what once was. i feel like i have grown stronger and more resilient when the final part of the song plays out. if you’re reading this far…know that it all works out in the end. you’ll come back to this memory one day and understand why it made you feel the way you feel, but it will come with some good cleansing closure. you’ll be a better person too.❤️
The song is about Frank being in love with someone who already has a lover, this is why he says"keep a place for me I'll stay between yall" because he accepts this to be with them
dobhopsy kinda both. But more about him loving someone who already loves someone else, thats why the songs called “self control”. He needs to “control” his feelings
Frank is asking his past lover to remember him and their relationship, even during nights with a new person. The frequent repetition of “it’s nothing” shows that he’s trying to seem nonchalant, when in reality things aren’t that simple. Even though Frank acknowledges this relationship is a no-go, he loves them regardless and desperately wants to maintain a place in this person’s heart.
i read somewhere that if you think you’re with the right person but it’s the wrong time, they’re still the wrong person. because the right person will come at the right time. i hope you’re okay :(
I feel this, it’s a shame he’s ‘retired’ but forever hoping he’ll release something more, his music is such an escape but yet so relatable to life at this same time
@@rashreaper i thought it was a guitar too when i heard it for the first time but apparently its not, seems like its his actual voice but muffled (you can listen to it if u pay very close attention and look at the lyrics on genius too and also his performance), but he definitely used a guitar effect on it tho thats why it sounds like that
To everyone who feels this song deep in their core, just know the time you spent with them was not time wasted. We'll all get there eventually. Everything will be okay in the end.
So i was at the flowerboy tour and in between vince staple's set and tyler's there was a one hour delay where they played random ass songs that nobody knew but this started playing and the whole arena started singing and i swear this is one of the highlights of my life, truely a masterpiece.
Everybody says this song is "dangerous" when you're depressed but honestly, this song has done so much for me and my mental health I can't even thank frank enough for this. It's like he just says it all for you so you don't have to, all the feelings, the ones you can't describe, that are hard to put out there, i feel so comforted, like i'm not alone, it makes me feel so free.
This song made think about the memories I had with the person I had feelings with. With all the fun times when we had, the talks and how I felt about her. I wished I had the courage to say I love you, and now we don’t see eye to eye and I miss her...
Wish this was top comment cuz its true, this, mac and a few other artists helped me a lot and its just because they felt alone and we feel comfort knowing we aren't alone
Helped me thru a breakup in ‘17 and i still play it to this day. She’s doing great and i’m proud of her, we’ve made amends and that was the closure i needed. it gets better guys, every day a little more
I don't have any friends. I don't work or go to school. Even before COVID happened, I was never leaving the house. This past winter, I decided to go on a trip with my mom to Brazil to visit some family (keep in mind it's summer over there when it's winter in the US). Throughout my time there I was trying to find activities and distractions to get away from my depressive reality but all attempts failed and I started to question if I should have gone on the trip at all. Then I met this girl. We only talked for about an hour before she went back home but I felt this connection with her that I hadn't felt with a person in a long time. So the next day I got her number and we started talking. We ended up getting kinda close and it was obvious that we had some feelings for each other even though we had barely met. A few days later, I had to catch my flight home and she took her time to visit me at the airport just to say goodbye. When I hear the "I-I-I know you gotta leave" part in this song, I relive that moment, standing there at the airport seeing her face for what might be the last time.
Bro i'm from brazil, i loved your story, but i need to tell you something, making relationships is so fucking good, for life experience, for your soul and most important for yourself... keep your head up
Sitting on a roof, birds chirp, the wind blowing whispers, and u sit and listen to the sound of the sirens and the boom in the hood. Something about those still whispers, vibrant chirps as u embrace the thought of loosing it all and gaining who you once were back. This sounds like summer not a lose, not a sting, not an open wound, but a clear view of what nature looks like. 🤍🎧
0:58 this part just hits so hard everytime that it changes my mood immediately and reminds me of my past experiences. I get the same visuals in my head every single time I hear this part and it gets tears on my eyes.
looking back i always cried listening to this song every night before i go to sleep; now as i listen to this song, all the things i used to feel had gone. Frank is always right, nights like this don't last forever.
I hadn’t heard a perfect song, until I first heard this song. Riding with my wife, on the day it released, during the sunset....when the bridge hit....her eyes were filled with water and she told me “Don’t ever leave me, I never want to feel how he feels” Edit: Wife corrected me, she said “You better not leave me” lol … best wishes to you all
This album released at the end of my first week of middle school. At the time I didn’t realize that this album existed but when I listened to it for the first time years later and realized when it released it instantly brought back memories throughout my entire middle school and high school years starting from the week it released. This might not be my most favorite album but it is an album I’ll cherish and hold onto for years to come and will definitely show my children. It has a special place in my heart and I wish more people understood how it makes me feel. The album brings back intense nostalgia
My favorite song in the whole world. Frank Ocean simply cannot be denied. From the vocals, the lyrics, the interpretation, simply the best! I'd really love this to be played at my funeral that when people remember me, they remember that I loved this song. Simply so good!
This song gives me power and sadness at the same time. It reminds me of how powerful I can be, but at the same time, it reminds me about all the happy moments that will stay only in our memories.
I remember when I heard this song and not knowing what it meant for me. I would listen to it for hours on end and when it hit me I cried for a minute and I hated that I understood. I feel like music has a way of unraveling secrets you didn’t even know about yourself. I remember when me and a person split up and this song came into play and I wasn’t too good with my emotions hence the words self control. After hearing this song clearly I’d find myself missing someone I shouldn’t have and getting over them was the beautiful part which is why the second half of the song is my all time favorite part cause it’s kinda like letting them go finally at least for me and I’m glad that I went thru that process of healing. I’m glad frank left these songs for people it really helped me a lot
Joe Draws I would love to be positive but the whole world just seems to oddly be in such a negative especially tensions with war coming soon in Iraq that shit crazy
Most of frank Ocean's songs has made me feel calm and reflect my half-wrong decisions in my private life, but when I started to Self Control, it's getting me to a comforting experience when you listen to the outro. And I love it! 😊
I feel it, it happened to me...trust when i say eventually you will learn you wont need them and you can build on yourself and move on i hope you are doing better. Somone new always come and gives you hope it may be today..tmmr..in a month... you will be fine..
A couple years ago some of my friends and I were hanging out and smoking late at night, then played this song and sang it together. It probably sounded horrible but it didn't matter. We all know heartbreak, and some of that pain was expressed in our voices, but experiencing it together in that way was truly one of the happiest moments of my life. A memory I will cherish forever.
Frank ocean has one of the most beautiful styles of music i’ve ever listened to. My personal favorite. I can never go wrong with this album and can keep it on repeat til my grand kids come out and ask what music i fw. I will neva be ashamed to cry to a frank ocean song
This song is very special to me as I discovered it when my father passed on to the next realm. It gave me peace of mind and the reassurance that he has moved on to a better place. This was in 2016 and so joy flows through me when I hear it now instead of tears.❤
The outro is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my entire life. All jokes aside, in any situation I just play that it makes m feel good abut it all. Not to mention at 3:18 the little "ooh" he puts there gives me a mini heart attack. So much feeling there. That fraction of a second releases every emotion I have dealt with today followed by the beautiful harmonies leading me to heaven and complete content.
Frank Bauknight You summed up my thoughts, about this song, perfectly. My reaction to this song never changes no matter how many times I listen to it.❤❤❤❤ It's absolutely perfect.
This song reminds me of a great friend I had once, who introduced to Frank Ocean. We were best bros for a long and hard year, and then he had to go back to Germany. After that he disappeared, leaving me with no way to contact him. I never heard from him again, and I guess I will never know what happened to him. He's like my UFO now. Thanks for everything, bro. Wherever you are.
That feeling when you shared moments with someone, already built your dreams and where the feeling is so intense and then all of a sudden circumstance hits. She moved on and now with someone else. Youre stuck suffering silently. Its heart wrenching and you even feel the pain physically. Timing is terrible. It sucks man, it sucks.
I got bullied a lot in school and there were videos of me getting beat up and everyone in the school knew about it. This song is what kept me stable and happy. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of so many things. Even happy things like friends I made over the years. I will never forget the feeling I get when I cry happily while listening to Frank ocean. He is truly something special. Please stay positive everyone and don’t let any kind of negativity get to you. 🤍🙏
People who bully others are often bullied by others. Those kids had no right to do that too you. I hope you are forever smiling and they are changed wherever they may be.
Best song ever just reminds me of the best summers of my life. When I’m 50 and listen to this song I’m going to bawl my eyes out at all the amazing memories I made.
"Keep a place for me, for me/ I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing" is a line that continues to crush me. The way the line is delivered makes it sound like Frank concedes that he can't be with another person but (almost desperately) asks them to remember him. Frank says "it's nothing, it's no thing" nonchalantly as if to maintain a sense of pride when in reality, it's most likely him who is not able to let go and move on.
[Intro: Frank Ocean] Poolside convo about your summer last night, ooh yeah About your summer last night Ain't give you no play, mm Could I make you shive last night? Could I make you shy on the last night, last night? Could we make it in? Do we have time? [Verse 1: Frank Ocean] I'll be the boyfriend in your wet dreams tonight Noses on a rail, little virgin wears the white You cut your hair but you used to live a blonded life Wish I was there, wish we'd grown up on the same advice And our time was right [Chorus: Austin Feinstein] Keep a place for me, for me I'll sleep between y'all, it's no thing It's no thing, it's no thing Keep a place for me, for me [Verse 2: Frank Ocean] Now and then you miss it, sounds make you cry Some nights you dance with tears in your eyes I came to visit, 'cause you see me like a UFO That's like never, 'cause I made you use your self-control And you made me lose my self-control, my self-control [Chorus: Austin Feinstein & Yung Lean] Keep a place for me, for me I'll sleep between y'all, it's no thing Keep a place for me It's no thing, it's no thing It's no thing, it's no thing [Bridge] Sometimes you'll miss it And the sound will make you cry And some nights you're dancing With tears in your eyes [Outro: Frank Ocean] I, I, I know you gotta leave, leave, leave Take down some summer time Give us, just tonight, night, night I, I, I know you got someone comin' You're spittin' game, know you got it I, I, I know you gotta leave, leave, leave Take down some summer time Give us, just tonight, night, night I, I, I know you got someone comin' You're spittin' game, know you got it (Nobody else, nobody else) I, I, I know you gotta leave, leave, leave Take down some summer time Give us, just tonight, night, night I, I, I know you got someone comin' You're spittin' game, know you got it
i first started listening to frank ocean and this album only a couple of months ago, when i was in my first relationship. frank's songs helped me get through times of joy, lust, loneliness and healing. after 3 months of only talking to each other, he cut it off with me with a 'i dont see this going any further' text paragraph, and now he is with the girl that he swore he didn't kiss that night... i hate him for what he did but i can't help missing him sometimes...
reminds me of my best friend. Had to say bye to him recently, he’s off to college while i’m still in highschool. he’s impacted me in so many ways it sucks not seeing him everyday. I love him very much. This song reminds me of him and it’s such a bittersweet feeling
its an amazing feeling to come back and listen years later after I've fully healed, song doesn't make me cry anymore. Just floods me with bittersweet nostalgia. Time is a beautiful thing
This song has such a strong effect on me, still months after. I discovered this song and it made me realized my relationship wasn't going nowhere. I started feeling so bad, almost like an anxiety attack while being in the train. Especially the last part. For me, the "leave, leave, leave" repetitions made me visualize my relationship like me making CPR to someone who's already dead. It broke me from the inside. Now, when I hear this song i still got that strong anxiety kicking back in my guts. And it's kinda a shame, this song is actually amazing, with deep and well written lyrics, such an interesting vibe, and so on. But I can't listen to it anymore.
@@colesmommy2005really sorry to hear that bro, for me I lost 5 of my best friends in an argument 6 months ago, i know i caused it so it's something i can't look past
exactly, I've just slept through all my online lecturers bc i was dreaming ab saying goodbye to my ex bestfriend (from like 5yrs ago🤦🤦) with this song in the background in the dream
@@liberty7500 truth is people we once deemed special will always live in us, whether that be spiritually or traits of theirs we've adapted into our everyday lives. it's better to keep those valuable memories as just memories, and look back with fondness :)
Remember that the memories are beautiful and that you are grateful for everything. You wouldn't change a single fucking thing. Be good to the people in your life and build the best future you can. Life goes on.
