It could convey the darkness and depressive period Tyler was going through during Goblin. He was made out to be punky and rebellious, hence why he eat the roach and it was in black and white. It's to represent the sadness. Cherry Bomb has lots of positive vibes, lots of soul and R&B influences which reflect on Tyler's music tastes. He's in a better place now: mentally, financially and musically. He's furthered his career and he's happy.
It’s so weird how this vibe wasn’t even really a thing in 2016 and now this is considered “aesthetic” he’s really always been ahead of time and done his own thing
I fucking love this song. I feel like it’s an inflection point on Tyler’s music. It stands out from the rest of Cherry Bomb and almost foreshadows Flower Boy and Igor and the aesthetic those two albums would take. I’m in awe, this is one of the best songs Tyler has made.
@@smooooth_ or maybe people are just getting more and more soft as the generations go on (c'mon, everyone knows it's true they just don't wanna except it) and Tyler's fanbase is WAAAY more different then it was back then, it used to be skaters and edgy people who just so happened to be into fashion, now it's AeStHeTiC people and people who think their deep and oh so smart and woke lmao Edit: ok, almost a year later and people are still butt hurt at this comment. If you can't tell, I'm talking about the fans in a generalized way, not as a whole. If your seriously getting mad at something that's lowkey somewhat true, your one of the people I'm talking about or get pressed to easy over things lol. I get it, artists change and people change (kinda like Filthy Frank when he turned into Joji) If you don't get that, then you probably won't understand what this comment really means. I'm not coming for your whole personality/interests dude. (btw, skating and being edgy or being soft and aesthetic really shouldn't be your main personality traits lmao). Now, let's all listen to Wolf and Igor and street skate and penny board around the world, you idiot's 💖
Cherry Bomb was in many ways a metamorphosis of Tyler's music. Bastard and Goblin were offensive, disgusting, disrespectful. Wolf had the same energy, but was calmer and less offensive. These were the early stages where tyler was just a caterpillar. In Cherry Bomb, it was just experimentation and Tyler finding his sound,and in Flowerboy, he finally turned into a butterfly.
I really wish they would just release this one specifically as an individual EP or just a regular single because it is the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my whole life
2017-18 I'd listen to this song on repeat and I just felt so alone. For some reason though I correlate this song with being able to find acceptance and that it was okay if things felt weird in that moment, I had to just embrace that. Ironically I wish I could go back to that time before things actually got bad. So many things can change in literally 5 years, rest in peace Owen, Katherine, and Michael may you forever be my best friends.
[Intro: Kali Uchis] Boy, I know That we could be more Than just friends But you're scared Boy, I know That we could be more Than just friends But you're scared [Verse: Kali Uchis (Tyler the Creator)] I know that there could be Something for you and me What's your philosophy? You're scared, scared Oh darlin', it's in the way you want me (Just say the word, girl) You can see the answers are all there (But I'm just too blind to see) You and I are cut from different fabric (I wonder why, I wonder why with you, girl) Don't be too material to see (But I'm just too blind to see) Some how this world is such a struggle just to be Fuck em' all, baby, it's just you and me [Pre-Hook: Tyler, Kali & Austin] You make me better And I know this don't make sense But you make me better [Hook: Austin Feinstein & Kali Uchis] Alone, alone, alone Ah-lone, alone, at home, alone Yeah, oh Alone Ah-lone Lone (Oo-oh)
@@trashboat8032 rose colored cheeks was going to be on flower boy, but i disagree with the other two. they don't have the "glistening" sound that flower boy has, and perfect still has those really messy drums, that sound good but don't sound like flower boy.
I like how Tyler isn’t your casual “rapper” where he just talks about money and getting girls. Tyler really likes to stand out. I wish more people start listening to him. Best Artist Of All Time.
i remember being 8 when this came out and my brother was obsessed w Tyler and OF 8 years later and he just passed last week i don't know how to handle it and the only way i really can right now is going back and listening to his music taste bc it makes me feel comfort for some reason
May his soul rest in peace. I pray that you and your family have a blessed day and know that he is in a better and peaceful place where he can find eternal rest with the Lord in the Highest Heaven❤️

15 year old me had this song on repeat when I met my bf, I couldn’t even put in words what I felt but this song did. Eventually I sent to him as a confession. 2016 was one of the best years.
Idk why people are complaining about the butterflies, I thought they made for great symbolism of the nervousness you get when trying to start a relationship with someone else.
In contrast, she has sunflowers surrounding her to show why they need each other. Also some "pollination" imagery going on. The colors of their clothes and the background also look good. I like what he did with this.
its kinda shitty that tyler is literally a self made artist, with his own ideas but he doesn't get as much recognition for it. i know the grammys are fucked but ill seize the day where he wins for his own video/song that he directed
+See Note The grammys wouldn't know good music if it dick slapped them in the face. This is why Taylor Swift and Bieber win every year on some bullshit.
Tyler basically Launched Kali and Frank Ocean , No one can tell me that Tyler has giving a MASSIVE contribution to the music, He managed to bring Kali Uchis and Sir Roy Fucking Ayers in the same track making probably one of the best songs of the last decade perfectly giving the same vibe of Everybody loves the sunshine , somehow behind my Musical choice Tyler is always been a massive inspo and influence to me. What a genius what a Human being. And just yesterday i've been to Roy Ayers Farewell concert not a single time thought Tyler could've chosen someone else to that track.
I forgot about this song, 7 years it still hits different idk why the vibe and the video are immaculate. I remember having a big crush on Kali Uchis, she is still gorgeous today. OFWGKTA
Timmy The God hahah funny. For me it's the opposite. Good times that are now gone. Thoughts and memories of people that are now gone. Bitter sweet I guess
This song couldn’t be titled any better Everything about it is perfect and we need more of this and it’s so good to see how well Tyler has progressed as an artist from how he started to the masterpieces he now releases This point in Tyler’s music career is where he reaches a turning point and his taste change from what it was and demonic to beautiful like this and since then he has got better and better and produces music that makes me feel like myself and that really reflects me as a person and I thank him for that
Went from biting roaches to flying with butterflies, it’s symbolic to where he is in his life now, us Goblin fans gotta grow outta the phase and move on with him smh
you can love Goblin and still love Igor. Ive been listening to all different genres of music since I was a kid. Started on classic rock and country, moved on to grunge, death metal, and gangster rap, and then just fell in love with all music from jazz, psychedelic, funk, pop, to industrial, noise, ambience, and more. I just love music and anyone can love any music. its whatever connects with your FEELY FEELERS
I love Austin’s deep voice. It’s thicker than a peanut butter sandwich that was left in the fridge for an hour. Like a thick Blizzard milkshake with a skinny straw.
The bass direction impulsing this awesome song is spectacular. It drives the context musically so much. This is badass artistry, this whole musical project.

I have a tumor in my brain, and it cannot be removed. So, the doctor is calling it terminal cancer. I'm only 13, but thank you for this video, Tyler. I'll be getting admitted into my sick bed this week, and I will be listening to this song until my very last breath. And when I die, Tyler. I will be watching you grow in the after life. God bless you, Tyler. :)
Waiting for Death Your name scares me even more, but thank you. I realized that death is just an illusion, and my mother is only 27, so she's losing sleep over my condition.
And guys, I REALLY do hope God visits Tyler one day. I know I might get bashed, but my sickness has made realized I will live eternally through him. God bless you all...
Hi, guys my name is Kathy. I just wanted to let you all know my son Josh passed away this past midnight. He was in so much pain that he just asked me to unplug the machine that was keeping him pretty much alive, I myself was an atheist until this past midnight, I seen something spiritual leave from his body. I have it recorded, but I don't know how to upload the video. I myself was very shocked, and all of the nurses and doctors seen what I saw, but thank you all, and he asked me to go on this channel to tell you guys that he loves you all, even the people that said mean things, he still loves you.
This song and "Find Your Wings" are like modern day masterpieces, I swear to god, this is just such quality music, people are going to be listening to this 50, 60, 90 years in the future and beyond god damn it Tyler
can’t believe it’s already been 6 years since cherry bomb...ill always love this time in my life and how obsessed I was with this CD...special and perfect are the words ill always use to describe this album!!!
Trapsy Towns when I said hanging around f frank I meant that he might have been influenced by him or frank might have been influenced by Tyler it's nothing wrong with saying u'r influenced by somebody and Tyler has taken music seriously he just doesn't wanna rap right now which is fine just like frank going off for four years he's not entitled to make music for his fans he just does it cuz he wants 2
man i remember when this came out my sophomore year of high school. everyone was posting it everywhere. back when kali was getting discovered and tyler was going thru a vibe change.
Honestly I love Kali Uchi's style in songs like this and ones like "See You Again" and especially "After The Storm". It really has this sorta "oldies 1950s-esque" sort of vibe to it, really dreamy. I hope she makes more tracks like this and hopefully brings back a resurgence of something along the lines of "doo-wop/Neo-Oldies", ugh it's just too dreamy.
