Lyrics:
I’ve been ‘normal’
I’ve been ostracized
I’ve watched through a window
As my young self dies
I’ve been popular
With all the popular guys
I gave them punchlines
They gave me warning signs
I look okay
In the magic hour
In the right light
With the right amount of power
And I’m okay
With the life of the sunflower
And I’m okay
With the life of a meteor shower
So say what you will
Go on (Say what you will)
You’re gonna do it anyway
Go on
Just (Say what you will)
You’re gonna do it anyway
Go on
Just (Say what you will)
Go on
You’re gonna do it anyway
Say what you will
I can find my way
With no superpowers
I can take my place
Without becoming sour
I might not make
All those psychopaths proud
‘Least I can see the faces
Of the smaller crowds
And I’m okay
I can drive myself
I’ve been sobered
By time on the shelf
And I’ve been ‘normal’
I’ve been ostracized
Like a comet
Blazing through an empty sky
So say what you will
Say (Say what you will)
Say what you will
Say (Say what you will)
So say what you will
Say (Say what you will)
Say what you will
Say what you will
Say what you will
Say (Say what you will)
(Say what you will)
(Say what you will)

Notice when Finneas passes James at 4:17, he doesn’t even notice all the posters and magazines promoting himself. Finneas probably has another celebrity he’s comparing himself to and isn’t grateful about his own success.

Have you noticed how they used colors to show the transition from a sad and jealous Blake to a redemptive one? Blake wears blue for almost the entire video, until the concert part (the redemption!) when he finally accepts his life the way it is, then the color palette becomes green. According to the color symbolism in western culture, blue may be associated with sadness, while green is commonly associated with healing and hope.

@poonywooon 2 года назад

@nana-iv3si 2 года назад

@@bananapie4344 And I'm okay with the life of the sunflower And I'm okay with the life of a meteor shower Compared to a meteor shower a sunflower is common and not as glamorous. He works in an industry where everybody is constantly compared to all the 'meteor showers' in the sky, the big stars, i think he is probably saying he's ok with living a more common life and is happy with being appreciated the way people would appreciate a sunflower, it's enough for him. But that doesn't mean he has something against being a 'meteor shower' like Finneas in this mv, he would appreciate whatever beauty / success he finds in life, he doesn't look down on the life of a guy like Finneas. He's not trying to be 'indie' or anything and be 'above' the mainstream. He's happy with whatever sort of beauty life gives him. The meteor shower line could also mean that he is ok with just having '15 minutes of fame'. He doesn't need to be a permanent star shining in the sky.

@nana-iv3si 2 года назад

@@Furiosa247 i think it might mean that a lot of the popular artists in the industry love his music, from what I've understood both Finneas and Billie are fans of his music and there's probably a lot of big artists who listen to his music, with warning signs maybe he means that they warn him of all the bad parts that comes with making it big in the industry.

It shows that those who we may be jealous of actually aren't as cold and they don't have anything against us, they may even like us but we choose not to see it.

I grew up your biggest fan, I found your music at age 20 and instantly felt it in my soul. Told anyone that would listen to me about you, all the way back to Air and Lack Thereof. I had a really awful childhood where everyone that was supposed to love me hurt me. I grew up with a sick, twisted definition of love. I was so depressed for years and you and Tame Impala really got me through so much. Im 30 now and I've pulled through over the last few years and I feel so much better, but everytime I hear a James Blake song it sparks so many emotions and reminds me where I came from. Last November I got married to the man of dreams, and I'll Come Too was our wedding song. Now when I hear this James Blake song I tear up like I used to with Lindisfarne or or Why don't you call me, but now I cry happy tears feeling happiness and evolution in myself. James blake finally singing love songs and Justin getting married and finally happy, what a concept.

@alligallixsee7821 2 года назад

A stunning song, James, and a fabulous video! I see you self reflecting, sending a message to your past self, and reminding us all that comparing ourselves to anyone else does nothing but keep us from our own greatness. Ps there will never be lots of tickets available for your show! I will buy tickets for everyone I know when you’re in town! 💜💜💜

@Julsies7 2 года назад

This is absolutely breathtaking and riveting. James, you make music that brings contemplative thought, depth of emotion, and a sensitive appreciation for life and it’s complicated messy but beautiful aspects, and for that…. You have given the world a gift to heal through. Don’t ever doubt that your presence on this earth has positively impacted so many lives. we love you🥰

@queerrobot6362 2 года назад

i've never seen a video that sums up my life as an artist more accurately. the comparisons and internal jealousy that we all experience can be crippling. i remember a few years back, i won album of the year at an awards show, and yet this other more successful artist took home 6 awards that night and cleaned up the international scene... i've felt exactly like the james in this film on a lower scale and it's so paralyzing at times. to compare yourself to others is to commit suicide to your artistic vision.

@sithabisonxumalo7645 2 года назад

My brain couldn't even allow me to understand why anyone would love Finneas more than they love James Blake ......like why? I mean James' transition from where he once was to where he's at now it's much more of an interesting journey to fame and fortune than Finneas'. James used to have this way about him that made him seem like this closed off timid introvert who loves to focus on his beats and/or compositions and his content/depth in his lyrics, but when he speaks to people lately as opposed to some of his earlier interviews he's shown us how much more comfortable he is and he seems to be the coolest most down to earth guy in the music industry right now. I've always loved James Blake.
