Childish Gambino - Heartbeat (Last.fm Sessions)

[@abriannaleerae2280]

he seemed so nervous at first but once it got to the second part he seemed so confident. lovely lovely performance.

[@rebelc6060]

thought I was the only one

[@PureSabataj]

He probably wasn't smoking that good good. But, he kinda looked high lol

[@colmooredamian2468]

+Abrianna LeeRae it truly shows that he knows music and can control it. most artist can't play with words and emotion while on MIC but he does that simply quite well

[@TimeEndStudio]

+Sabataj He always looks high

[@michaela3891]

He's an actor so he understands the build/arch. Most likely was intentional.

[@calob3927]

How can he can just switch from hard rapping over a hard beat to softly singing in a second is crazy. He one of the most talented artists in the world, acting, singing, poetry, rapping. Can do everything

[@eastsidebop]

I can do that

[@vivi1617]

I hope that never changes haha

[@Saiyankev01]

I think that was on purpose where his singing character is holding back.. not brave enough "cant speak" then his character was done with the shit going on and burst out

[@alejandrobermudez3302]

you know the song is actually like that?

[@Sc9cvsd]

I've seen him twice. He always has so much passion when he sings live

[@rafaeltrivino1790]

It starts off very soft like most relationships but over time gets rocky and serious. Great song but a painful reminder of a person you love will never share the same feelings as you.

[@SpectreRyder]

Person you loved. Past tense. The song is about a girl he use to date but now they just mess around. Then she gets upset when he gets a girl. Ultimately it leads to the third verse and the questions: "Are we dating? Are we f*cking? Are we best friends? Are we something between that?" Confused as to what they are.

[@BruceSteever]

Bollocks. Find a better person to love.

i love the way he doesn't try to put on a performance he just gets so into the lyrics and watching his facial expressions is so intriguing he's such an incredible artist

[@halloween_skeleton]

I love how he censors himself in the beginning but doesn't give a fuck in that last verse.

[@legitcbtv1888]

And then he almost makes fun of the censorship at the end lol.."You say the nastiest stuff in bed and it's always awesome when you do it"

[@FarawayFragrance]

never seen a Gambino live performance where he remembers to keep it clean the whole time

[@209cgrant]

Gambino is one of few artists who portray their vulnerability and truth behind the lyrics. Amazing!

[@Junketsuadidas]

Not really, clearly you don't dig deep at all if you think that.

[@Thunterise]

[@beta7899]

Uhm.. I'd say most artist show vulnerability in their songs. Swing and a miss.

[@leebrown8184]

[@SkyProtonFood]

never forget that Donald Glover's go-to producer, Ludwig (guitarist), is a Grammy and Academy Award winning musician

[@cooney6172]

Yeah he does the music for the mandalorian too!

[@damn_jaz9895]

Yeah that man is a genius,like Hans Zimmer

[@SkyProtonFood]

@@damn_jaz9895 not even close, and by that i mean Hans. i hope Ludwig doesnt end up like that hack. at least Goransson actually writes all of his compositions and arranges them himself, while Zimmer hires multiple composers, arrangers and takes all the credit because its all done under his publishing brand which is named after him. for Pete's sake Hans cant even notate his own work.

[@camerynscott]

In my opinion he is one of the best performers of this time, he has soo much emotion and energy that he puts into his live performances I love them.

[@AaronJaysonS]

Still can't believe that this is the guy from Community. He & his music & Troy are sooo different, makes it hard to believe he was able to play him.

[@fighthaver2136]

Donald is a ridiculously multi-talented individual. On top of Community and other TV/Movie appearances, he is also a comedy writer (wrote on 30 Rock), stand up comedian (WEIRDO comedy special, comedy central special), producer/director (His new series Atlanta), rapper/singer (aka Childish Gambino), and he knows how to manage his image/brand better than most business majors.

[@jamie7112]

Trevor Keys amen

[@Saiyankev01]

Idk bout that.. I see Gambino in the later seasons.. especially his birthday episode. He was growing up.. childish then he was maturing.. still not smart but he was getting there.. he was understanding more and more and now... hes his own man. I hope hes not stupid in the Movie.. he had years on the boat to better himself

[@balzze1851]

@@fighthaver2136 Years late reply, but he and his friends also had a comedy channel on youtube years ago with, in my opinion, some of the greatest bits.

[@TommieDineen]

I like that to begin with he mutes over the swear words, but then by the last verse he's too into it that he says them all with aggressive content

[@Ernyfull]

I didn't notice that before, nice work and I think he's so into the last verse is cos it's the most important part of the song

[@TommieDineen]

True! It's good that he still feels the music!

[@Saiyankev01]

That's the whole point tho... thats how his character he is singing

[@gnat943]

I feel like he might’ve done it on purpose or at least I would like to believe that :)

[@yobamos2158]

this man is incredible as an actor, as a comedian, as a musician

[@Goober_Official_]

This whole live session used to be my favorite shit to watch. And I finally years later realized why. Bino is so raw and real. He starts off being nervous and ends up acting like he doesnt give a fuck anymore and just goes for it. And on top of that, he doesnt care if it sounds perfect. Hes ok being vulnerable. Raw talent and emotion

[@whyisthisrequired]

I love that drummer's transition at 3:40 and he looks very proud of himself haha. I think he adds a lot to the feeling of the song too, nice playing.

[@WobblesandBean]

supereminem000 the childish was just a Wutang name man, I guess you are right in the sense that he chose the name because he relates to it but he didn't choose childish on purpose

i really REALLY wish I could just go back in time to where community was just starting... to where it was literally the best 2 hours of television with The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Rec and Community every Thursday night.

Hook 2x] I wanted you to know That I am ready to go, heartbeat My heartbeat I wanted you to know Whenever you are around, can't speak I can't speak [Verse 1] I know what your boy like Skinny tie and a cuff tight He go and make breakfast You walk around naked I might just text you Turn your phone over, when it's all over No settling down, my text go to your screen You know better than that I come around when you least expect me I'm sitting at the bar when your glass is empty You thinking that the songs coming on to tempt me I need to be alone like the way you left me You start calling, you start crying I come over, I'm inside you I can't find you The girl that I once had But the sex that we have, isn't half bad Text say that "It's not fair" That's code for "He's not here" And I'mma flirt with this new girl And I'mma call if it don't work So we fuck, till we come, to conclusions All the things that we thought we were losing I'm a ghost and you know this That's why we broke up in the first place Cause [Hook 2x] [Verse 2] It's late night Thursday I know that you heard me But you don't want the same thing Well two can play that game So I'm chilling with my girlfriend But she not my real girlfriend She got a key to my place but She not my real girlfriend Stupid, so dummy Say the wrong thing and wrong girls come runnin' I'm paranoid that these girls want something from me And it's hard to make a dime go one hundred And my dude freakin' out over a worse fate She on time, but she late for their first date Cause he went and tried out a new condom Slipped off in a threesome, good problems? Right? Wrong Askin' him if she wanna play games With the super smash brothers, but none of them you I miss the sex when you kiss whenever you through Sixty-nine is the only dinner for two I was wrong, but would you have listened to you? Uh, you were crazy I got a heart, but the artichoke Is only thing girls want when you in that smokin' light [Hook 2x] [Verse 3] So we're done? This the real shit? We used to hold hands like field trips I'm a jerk, but your dude is a real dick I read his posts on your wall and I feel sick He ain't cool, he ball and all that But he just a fake nigga who blog in all caps You couldn't wait to date I'm going straight for your thighs like the cake you ate I give a fuck about the niggas that you say you hate You know that I’m the best when I’m affectionate I'm the best that you had, face it J and Keyshia are related, racist I give you money, then you burn it, like you made off She ain't a killer, but she'd fucking blow your head off I know he wondering, "What the fuck you hiding?" That we dated like raps about Bin Laden Ayo, fuck this Are we dating? Are we fucking? Are we best friends? Are we something in between that? I wish we never fucked, and I mean that But not really, you say the nastiest shit in bed and it’s fuckin’ awesome
