nostalgia, ULTRA!

For me, I think I’m gonna have to go with…

Bad Religion

HM: Crack Rock, Pyramids, Sweet Life, Electric Feel, Songs for Women

Bad Religion is my favorite Frank song since I believe its the greatest highlight of his vocal abilities. His singing on here is just downright beautiful.

Favorite lyric would be:

This unrequited love
To me it’s nothing but a one man cult
And cyanide in my Styrofoam cup
I can never make him love me

Also, if you would’ve asked me which album I liked better a couple days ago, it would be nostalgia, ULTRA, however upon giving channel, ORANGE multiple listens, I’ve changed my mind.

Favorite Frank Ocean Song

Probably “Pyramids” of “Forrest Gump.” Pyramids was the first Frank Ocean song I listened to and really enjoyed. Forrest Gump has a great message and I love the instrumental behind it.

Why?

Pyramids was the first Frank Ocean song I listened to and really enjoyed. Forrest Gump has a great message and I love the instrumental behind it.

Favorite lyric(s)

From “Pyramids” probably:

I found you laying down with Samson and his full head of hair

This line along with his voice is just all around good.

From “Forrest Gump” probably:

Forrest green
Forrest blues
I’m remembering you
If this is love
I know it’s true
I won’t forget you
It’s for you Forrest
It’s for you Forrest
If this is love
I know it’s true
I won’t
For-get-you

The outro is really nice and I like how he uses colors to describe his feelings along with the whistle at the end. The symbolism game is A1.

Channel ORANGE all the way!

Crack Rock/Golden Girl

the jimi hendrix sample coupled with the piano and the vocals jus so passionate/the lyricism on this shit is a1, paints a picture automatic

Crack Rock:

You don’t know how little you matter until you’re all alone
In the middle of Arkansas with a little rock left in that glass dick

Golden Girl:

I’m my best on this island
I’m a mess in America
My flight left last night, but I know I’m not going back home, yeah
I’m not going back home, no

Favorite lyric from that song?

Crooked cop, dead cop, how much dope can you push to me
Crooked cop, dead cop, no good for community
Fuckin' pig get shot, three hundred men will search for me
My brother get popped and don’t no one hear the sound
Don’t no one hear the rounds (Sound)
Don’t no one hear the shells (Shells)

Don’t no one hear a sound
Don’t no one disturb the peace for riot
Don’t no one disrupt nirvana
Don’t no one wanna blow the high
Crack rock, crack rock, crack rock
How you feeling girl?
How’s the gutter doing?
