Ocean, Frank - Close To You Lyrics

How can he be so trash 😂

Man you're post to sing at the mic not blow

Um u better leave sis

Supposed*

Wait wasn’t it a longer version of this song?

My favorite song on Blonde, beautiful song

a 'matter

Lmao who else is here because of Ariana Grande singing this in her sweetener tour

This honestly my favorite Frank song

This album should be a documentary movie

This song sounds so vaporwavy.

damn 😣😪

Tonalities stolen from carpenters - close to you. What?

Cappuccino Cup it was either sampled or a cover

this song samples a stevie wonder rendition of close to you

didn't love this song until the live performance with Brad

Can someone tell me the meaning of this song please???...srsly...i need to know.

ariana grande so copied this but made her version better.

it wasn't "copied". she did a cover of it for the interlude in her tour.

@Greedy Grande Yeah and this is not the original song anyways it's a cover

*why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near*

Oh, my bad. Wrong song.

This is actually inspire by the song close to you by the carpenters

Really, in what way?

Who is here after when ariana change interlude to adore interlude? :D

Man....such a beautiful piece of music.

I hate that my ex put me on to this but I am glad I got to experience this song.

Those 38 dislikes are going to hell

This is one of the best ever

ari sang it better bc she had more melodies, vocals, and sang it way better with her voice. aris version: https://youtu.be/rzL1vV9s5f0

Germs JB yup she has better and longer melodies . her voice doesn’t cut out like how he sings it. her voice is soft and goes so well with this song

Germs JB ok and I’m still gonna think Arianas way better lmao

i love ariana but her version is fucking garbage in comparison to franks. her voice doesn't fit with the song well at all and the autotune she uses in the performance doesn't do her justice

It still hurts really bad, thanks for this one frank.

who produced the beat?

Ariana plays this for one of her interludes at the sweetner/thank you next tour

I cant even relate to the song yet i always wanna cry every.single.time

Ariana Grande did this for her tour

Wtf is this crap?

ok me in 6th grade

And white Ferrari comes next...this album is constant build up.

slow it down to 0.75 for a different experience

I've been hurt so much lately by the people who I thought wouldn't and frank ocean has helped me so much lately get through this and I thank god for an amazing artist like him😔😞💔❤

Steve wonder inspired this

Damn, I'm crying.

Me too, he butchered the song

@Sly He really didnt

frank ocean:
me: “ah shit, here we go again”

Who came here from ari

Does anyone have the Livestream version of at your best (the one with the rising chords aka track 17 on the livestream of endless?)

Can I get an extended version tho?

ariana grande just covered this song, on her sweetener tour, so beautiful ! ❤️

i wish this song would last forever

Ariana anyone

[Verse]
I'll be honest, I wasn't devastated
But you could've held my hands through this, baby
Let my mind run underneath warm jets
I run my hands through what's left
But we're getting older, baby
Don’t have much longer baby
Why am I preaching?
To this choir, to this atheist
Just like mine, versions of these belong to you
After a while, they're keeping me close to you
(Just like me, they long to be close to you)

Why am I crying so much

Cuz you can relate to it

A lot of people don’t know this but this is actually sampled from a Stevie Wonder performance in which he uses a voice box. That’s what the last few words in the song are and what the singing in the background is.

Meme Man also sampled from the carpenters close to you

rainy days but he specifically covered Stevie’s version

fav song on the album

Most underrated song on the album!! Gosh why is it so short???

Heyyo EightyFour exactly, should gave been 10 mins at least

Moises Hernandez Lol basically. Gotta listen to this song like 7 times to be fully satisfied 😪

is a cover

Vicente Diaz Galleguillos everyone knows that lmao. we still wish it was longer cus he mastered this. so beautiful.

mon dieu le massacre ou est passé cette si belle chanson !!

best song on the album!!!

0:32 He sounds like Jacquees

jacquees sounds like him*

Sounds like hide and seek

Second best track, but it's too short

hope this was part one outta three...too short for legend

84k views... cmon people wake up :(

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You guys gotta watch the talkbox vid with Stevie Wonder with this song

They're both so beautiful!

I knew this sounded familar!

Yep definitely gotta check out the origins and samples of more modern songs. The Stevie Wonder one itself is a gem.

@Miscellaneous Mind I actually made a playlist of some quite famous samples: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2WAWdFySK3oBCjimiFDrBC?si=pFXeiYPGSC6CqDM8peWfGg

he gives me a bit of the 1975 and the japanese house vibe for his type of genre

Imagine The 1975 and Frank did a collab ToT

hearing this song is ethereal within itself, but experiencing it live was purely life-changing.

Real fans always find a way to appreciate Frank's most experimental tracks. The more R&B ones are close to 1M views. This is so underrated.

Real fans know where this song actually comes from

@BadulTheGuru yeah it's not a big secret, it's literally in the title

@BadulTheGuru Stevie Wonder's iconic interpretation 😏😏😏

who cares lol

my man he maybe underrated on youtube but you should see the amount of views and recognition he gets on other music streaming platforms

I'll be honest, I wasn't devastated
But you could've held my hands through this, baby
Let my mind run underneath warm jets

I run my hands through what's left
But we're getting older, baby
Don’t have much longer baby
Why am I preaching?
To this choir, to this atheist
Just like mine, versions of these belong to you

After a while
They're keeping me close to you

(Just like me, they long to be
Close to you)

Thank you so much noot noot

noot noot love the Melodrama profile pic

Apparently the line actually goes "to the saved kids" rather than atheist.

I always thought it was atheist aswell

Edit: Nvm the source i found that from was chatting bollocks

@Good Feeling can u read or what

noot noot nice profile pic

in my opinion I dont like this, I don't know what happened to him but he used to be way better!

Ainoor Karim this entire album is amazing. Y'all are tripping.

this album is his best in my opinion , so good !!

@Julio Ramos you're tripping as a MF
This album is beautiful

This album is beautiful idk wtf you're talking about

I feel like this was most people's initial reaction to Blonde but trust me the more you listen to the album you will grow to love it and understand what makes it so great and why people love it so much

I truly wish this song was longer, it's so good

Jordin Stephens your mom - my penis

It is, it's called close to you. It's the actual song he slaughtered.

Sly I like both versions. I’ll be honest I wasn’t devastated when I heard this version. Both are good.

Trent Greymtn no

Jordin Stephens carpenters - close to you

This is an interpolation of a song of the same name by The Carpenters, for those who don't know.

One Thou Wou the carpenters originally made the song though

Adrenal Ferris yeah but he doesn't use their version he uses stevie wonder's version

One Thou Wou Yeah

FruckFilms Paul Williams wrote the song though.

FEELINGZ

I still remember the feeling i got when i first listened to this 👏
