Me too.

[@SaintMemphis]

Nostalgia Ultra reference?

[@nathanruinshisfuture8827]

I really like these visuals because they show nostalgia for the past, but at the same time, all of these scenes could have been filmed recently. It's just day to day life captured with an old camera. There's magic in today, too

[@sdaniel724]

Legitimately one of the only songs to make me tear up. Thanks Buddy for this gift and Frank Ocean for hooking me onto this wonderful song

[@user-dp3pj9fr2s]

Dear Buddy Ross! It's been five years since Blonde has been available! Thank you again for creating such light, magic, psychedelic, and mellow tunes! Without it we'll never meet a better Blonde album! I've been lovin' "Be yourself" for 5 years out of its instrumental, it's also the song I regard as recourse when feeling confused about life, plights and choices.It always cures, softens and melts my heart...thank you Buddy, thank you.

[@Gsantana2k]

Many college students have gone to college And gotten hooked on drugs, marijuana, and alcohol Listen, stop trying to be somebody else Don't try to be someone else Be yourself and know that that's good enough Don't try to be someone else Don't try to be like someone else Don't try to act like someone else, be yourself Be secure with yourself Rely and trust upon your own decisions On your own beliefs You understand the things that I've taught you Not to drink alcohol, not to use drugs Don't use that cocaine or marijuana because that stuff is highly addictive When people become weed-heads they become sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned Sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned That's all marijuana does to you, okay? This is mom Unless you're taking it under doctor's umm control Then it's regulated. Do not smoke marijuana, do not consume alcohol Do not get in the car with someone who is inebriated This is mom, call me, bye

[@lalo55]

I'm from Portland and this song reminds of the northwest. Really captures the beauty of the gray and gloom.

One of the greatest instrumentals. Wanted to ask what I should search up and what genre this would fit into if I wanted more songs like this one. Overall eargasmic

Just a straight line "
