It's crazy to see how many views she finally getting on older songs. I remember when no one knew who she was and she had a small close knit fan base. I'm glad to see that she's finally getting recognition and people are becoming fans
i heard her before, didnt really get to feel her the best until "the worst" she is the best female out imo, she picks great beats as well like n.o. id who produced for jay and common, very underated
In an interview Jhene said that 3:16 for means many things to her. She said "I always catch 3:16 it’s crazy because its my birthday & 3:16am is the time of night when I’m in my deepest darkest thoughts". She also said "3:16 happens to be one of the most translated scriptures in the Bible which is John 3:16." She stated "3:16 is about addiction and losing something that you love. It’s not just about addiction with drugs or love or anything, I wrote it to be interpreted however the listener wants to take it. For me it was just confronting my darkest thoughts regarding losing something that I can’t live without".
Us super pisces ,born on march 16th, we are very heightened spirits... we always catch the time at 316... our souls are tied to John 3:16, for God so loved the world, he gave his son... we are here for a special purpose... spoke with a spiritual medium and he confirmed everything...
This particular song of Jhene Aiko's hits extremely close to home for me because if some of you aren't yet aware; apparently 3 16 was written as a tragic result of losing her brother Miyagi to cancer on July 19, 2012. 3:16am was allegedly the fatal, recorded time when Miyagi lost his battle and when the family was alerted. My heart just mourns for her loss every time when I hear her lyrics in this heartrending song because I simply couldn't imagine losing my own wonderful brother so suddenly and untimely as she did. Jhene also describes 3:16am as the bewitching hour when you're thrown into the demonic parallels of your own type of hell. If any of you have ever seen 'Amityville Horror' you might've noticed the precise time when the sinister madness would consistently repeat itself every night and the husband would awake to was, 3:15am. Jhene documents and identifies with almost the same, identical time of Amityville Horror with only a minute's difference - The reason being; There's a lot of superstition surrounding the belief that 3:15am is the time that you will experience your own personal hell. I'm assuming it's become the haunting hour for her as she conveys how hopeless and lost she is in her sheer desperation to once again be with her deceased brother by seriously considering taking her own life. You can just feel the raw emotion coursing through this song and the way she 'acts' out her pursuit of insanity in the video is too real to just shrug it off as dramatisation. You can clearly see and hear that she herself has lived this hell and how much of a truly tortured soul she now is from losing the light of her life, her own brother. This is why 3 16 reduces me to tears upon listening to it each time, and why I adore Jhene Aiko so terribly 💘 She has been through it all, yet continues to belt out her emotions and turmoil the only way she knows how, by the art of her music. So much respect.
So well put! And this is why I love her darker songs because I can feel her pain through the song and lyrics. This is amongst one of my favorites along with "Mirrors", and "Drinking and Driving".
BananaBoat First off; love your username ;) Secondly; thank you! And I completely agree that her darker songs can easily resonate prominently with people, there's just something about the profound composure of them and how perfectly she captures and conveys life's poignancy. I don't think I've actually heard of her other songs you mentioned..? I'll definitely be looking them up now :))
Cymopoleia Wow! I didn't expect to create goosebumps from my write up, but it's certainly a welcomed reaction ^.~ hehe. Glad I could stir some chills, means I did Jhene's song justice because 3 16 always gives me ultimate shivers ❤
Unearthed Dancing Thank you! Lol it was my nickname in high school. 😂 But I feel you. I've always found sadder songs more relatable because to me, sadness is constant. Everyone has been sad before. Plus to feel sad is because you lost something beautiful ... so I guess I appreciate it more.
Rashaiya Coleman Damn, 2002, I MUST OF BEEN UNDER A SERIOUS ROCK, SWEAR MY BLACK ASS NEVER HEARD OF HER BEFORE 6 MONTHS AGO, SHUT MY MOUTH AND CALL ME SALLY, NOW MIND YOU, I HAVE HAD A LOT OF TRAUMA, HELL I MIGHT AS WELL SING A SONG RIGHT NEXT TO HER, HER VOICE MOVES THE HEAVEN AND EARTH, putting her right up there with Aaliyah, I never ever thought I'd be able to put someone in that category, ENOUGH SAID
this is what happens when parents don't teach their kids to accept and explore diversity among cultures. personally--im blessed to have grown up mixed being black and filipino and its something I will NEVER take for granted. It's a shame some people have this mindset because of the color of someone's skin. It doesn't affect you if people are out here making mixed babies. So keep your rude comments to yourself. Being apart of different cultures is beautiful and unfortunately something you'll never be able to experience. The least you can do is show some respect to the people who have enough balls to date someone out of their culture...
Marie Benton You and me both, Let the tears flow, TRUST me, nobody's gonna beat our Asses for crying, please don't let that be the crime of the century, lol. as my 16 year old daughter says- CHEER UP BUTTER CUP
***** I get where you're coming from but like he said most of her songs aren't like that, if you listen to her lyrics they're about finding yourself... thats the kind of artist she is and another reason she titles things "Souled Out " or "Sailing Souls "
felt this entire song. it feels good to know that you're not the only one that has these type of thoughts cus people would really call you crazy for feeling this way. The fear of not dying & wanting to b gone. The pain & betrayal from someone you thought loved you. & then on top of that, you're going through worser problems..
I read up on her and I found this really interesting... "Aiko is of Japanese, Spanish, Dominican, German Jewish, French, Native American and African American descent".
I have just fallen in love with her sound and relaxed vibe. She is content in being herself. With a beautiful sound and her own style, not following the trends like most of the lemming artists that are out now. Keep making those hits and I'll keep buying them!
Lyrics Out of place, out of space and time, wide awake Out of papers I am, not okay I am out my mind Outer space, that’s where I been goin' To a place where, place where nobody knows Floating at a pace where now you see me now and now you don’t I do not feel the fear of fallin, I wanna fly If it all goes well then I will But what if I don’t? Ill be right where I was before But I’m not alone, you said take my hand And we go (and we go), and we go (and we go) And I hope that we don’t overdose Cause we don’t (cause we don’t) No we don’t (no we don't) Ever know when we have had enough Wait Now my thoughts so cloudy and my hearts so crowded with pain I am so frustrated like my souls been taken away Broken promise of everything that I thought you were Thought you said this would never hurt, that’s what it did that is all I do not feel the fear of falling Thought I could fly It didn’t go well and oh well What do you know I’m right back where I was before But I’m not alone, you said take my hand And we go (and we go), and we go (and we go) And I hope that we don’t overdose Cause we don’t ('cause we don’t) No we don’t (no we don't) Ever know when we have had enough I'm a be so cold, need some more I’ve never felt these things before I’m a feind for sure, please don't go How could you not need me no more? You're the only thing that I loved You’re the only thing that I want You’re the only reason, the only reason I do not feel the fear of fallin', I wanna fly If it all goes well, then I will But what if I don’t? Ill be right where I was before You're all that I know
Jhene's birthday is on March 16 3/16 is the day she was born I think 3:16 a.m is symbolic of her being "reborn" she says in one of her other songs "at 44 mins to 4 (3:16) an angel walked up to my door, opened the window to my soul told me he thinks that I should know there's no slowing down" that was the rebirth
Love Jhene, only woman hip-hop/musical artist with any talent that makes the music good and makes sense. Fell in love with her after the Manifesto concert in toronto , i liked her before but her performances are straight up fun. Such an underrated song/artist christ..stay undiscovered please Jhene. You feel a real strong emotion/connection to her songs, its pretty different from anyone else i've listened to.
It takes a tremendous bravery and strength to reveal yourself and your true emotions with the rawness that Jhene does on a consistent basis. She remains an awesome beauty even in her ugliest moments because she never abandons or sacrifices her authenticity, and that is the least of what separates, if not elevates, her from the heard.
All this talk about Rihanna, Lady Gaga and the rest of those fools and Jhene Aiko is right here killing shit! When I put together my first album I'll be getting at her for a feature, no doubt. She has one of the best voices out right now. Listen to "Wth" feat. Ab-Soul if y'all haven't already.
Her album is marvelous, wait no... HER ALBUM'S!!!! There we go. No matter what song she sings, they each have a diff perspective on me, but like heaven gosh! They all have a certain part in my daily life... kinda struggling with my parents arguing.. sometimes i feel im not worthy to be loved because... idk i just dont know... im prob overreacting :(
no you're not overreacting. you have every right to feel whatever emotion your feeling. but please do know you are so worthy of being loved. God loves you more than you could imagine. He's not the person people told you he is. He isn't some greater power somewhere far away judging you. He's a loving spirit who's been right by your side since the day you were born. If you ever want to vent or talk you could hmu on fb Tori Sun
The weeknd is more sexual if you out haven't noticed in most kind of all his songs. I don't think they won't make a good song unless she is the background singer. Just saying.
I bet none of you knew she a mixture of Japanese (hence the name Aiko), Spanish, African American and bunch other races like her mother who is a mix of japanese and several other races while her dad is African American (he's also mixture of a lot of other decents). Her songs are about terrible heartbreak, emotional pain it has caused, the death of her brother, and a lot of other situations that hurt her up to this point. I enjoy her music because we get to understand her and why she feels the way she does.
This somg expresses a place in my heart that no one could never understand, but Jhene. Also, this was the first song I heard from her a while back and I have been a fan ever since.
I remember finding this whole album 5 years ago. I was addicted to it. One of the only artists I went and bought her actual CD'S. She was therapeutic to me, kept me grounded. Now listening to her older stuff her awakening emotions are really relatable. She's filled with light, much love Jhene 😊
Braden Rikli I personally don't care when a person finds Jhene Aiko, just as long as they find her. I know I'm always trying to spread her name around.
God... I love this woman! She's phenomenal! She needs to consider a serious acting career as well as her singing one. She's always so convincing in her emotions, perceptions and portrayals. Damn!
This song describes my life. It makes so much sense and has such a deep meaning to me. I find so much beauty in the lyrics and her voice. This song completely describes what I'm going though and its amazing how cool it is to connect with music in that way and let it help you. The song has a different meaning to everyone one even tho its truly about the death of her brother I bet almost everyone could connect in some way. I love her she gives me hope that one day things will get better, hopefully. Much love to all the good in the world and the music that saves lives and keeps people moving forward. Just felt the need to express my thoughts
Yea, i can connect to this song too. I lost my dad last year & it still feels like a gun just shot threw my heart. But this song is sooo beautiful & gives me hope to feel happy again.
Play "3:16 Am" "3:16 AM" Out of place, out of space & time Wide awake out of papers, I am Not okay, I am out my mind Outer space, that's where I've been going To a place where Place where nobody knows Floating, at a pace where Now you see me, and now you don't I do not feel the fear of falling I wanna fly If it all goes well, then I will But what if I don't? I'll be right where I was before But I'm not alone You say "take my hand" And we go (and we go) And we go (and we go) And I hope that we don't overdose Cause we don't (cause we don't) No we don't (no we don't) Ever know when we have had enough Wait Now my thoughts so cloudy And my heart's so crowded With pain I am so frustrated Like my soul's been taken away Broken promise of everything That I thought you were Thought you said this would never hurt That's what it did That is all I do not feel the fear of falling Thought I could fly It didn't go well, but oh well What do you know? I'm right back where I was before But I'm not alone You say "take my hand" And we go (and we go) And we go (and we go) And I hope that we don't overdose Cause we don't (cause we don't) No we don't (no we don't) Ever know when we have had enough I'm a be so cold Need some more I've never felt these things before I'm a think, for sure Please don't go How could you not need me no more? I don't get it You're the only thing that I love You're the only thing that I want You're the only reason The only reason I do not feel the fear of falling I wanna fly If it all goes well, then I will But what if I don't? I'll be right where I was before You're all that I know
Can't understand why people think the fact that she hanged herself in the end was so sick or so bad or just whatever.... If you was actually in love like really in love then you should know the pain, the emptiness you feel when the person you love don't love like you thought they did and the fact they know that they did you wrong and just don't care... I have... It felt like I was dying
Kanai Jackson i know this comment is old but I experienced this for the first time recently. I was soo shocked for the longest time like genuinely confused. It was so painful I couldn’t understand it. Like how could they be so different than who they said they were. I should have left my feelings out of it like usual
@@brioche8123 I feel you! I no that comment is old. but I'm going through that now. I was with my ex for 3 years, and now he treats me like I'm nothing, and he has a new girlfriend that he claims he loves. My mind is seriously blown. But, that's life, right?
I felt like this before but he was too far in pain to love me so I moved on an learned to love myself it was a lesson that I will never forget nameste!!❤️
The way that it is 2923 and I am 33 and have been listening to Jhene since b2k days....this is and always will be the best song of hers to me. I resonate because I feel her emotion.
This girl does not get enough recognition as a female artist. She should have way more songs on the radio before the ones she features in. Her voice is amazing, her songs all have deep meanings, she tells stories in her music. She's so much better than so many people. She deserves more attention.
this song speaks to my soul. i have been and still am where she is speaking of. the pain of loving your soulmate and being abandoned by the very person who knows you on more than just the physical level is devastating.
