[@user-ef1uc2vw9k]

"give me all your pants" should have made the cut imo

[@TheOneWhoLoves94]

😂😂😂😂

[@Mstiananicole]

I’m glad he made a Phil Collins reference

[@Infraredx]

yeah it shows how self aware he is

[@dustinrudisill8962]

But it's really more like Peter Gabriel. But he was close

[@galtzar]

@@dustinrudisill8962 Both are accurate actually, vocal-wise it's PG, musical-wise it's more like PC, well both are Genesis though, LOL

[@buihemadu]

@@dustinrudisill8962 i thought of both those guys - Phill and Peter. It was a vocal throwback. I dig that about the song.

[@thepursefreak78]

Ms. Tiana Nicole right?!? He definitely has a Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel vibe.

[@newtongraphics_]

[@KevalPrajapatiSS]

[@elitekeys58]

I’ve been singing nonsense for months.

Elias Nurse I always hear it as more Peter Gabriel solsbury hill vibe!

[@raecharles5494]

This song makes my HEART SING. Takes me back to a lovely time in my life

[@Samy-ph4pb]

that song is amazing

[@joeybebop]

Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel's love child. With a little bit of David Byrne

[@josiahjwhitfield]

his mannerisms are exactly the way he dances

[@syckindahead]

💯

[@jonathonmaudlin2307]

Great to hear his meaning behind these lyrics. Love this song so thank you for enlightening me Genius

[@tiarnan97]

Love how he took off the glasses for the super emotional part

[@Hampeeng]

Love this dude's music

[@joep1739]

Definetly thought he was blind until he took his sunglasses off. 😎

[@lblincoe2094]

Wow. This was probably the most profound and insightful mind that I've seen in a while! I love his honest self awareness and his drive just to understand himself and really connect with who he is. A lot of people never even wonder who they are, or consider how they've grown into that person, or think about who they want to become, because most of them are too afraid of the answers to seek them. But he is so confident and sanguine about his journey, it's inspiring! I only just discovered him today, and now I can see why I had already fallen in love with him

[@ScottSaysStuff]

Wish we talked about Chance's verse

[@scottpilgrimvstheuniverse]

Scott Foltz Chance said he sang his verse for his daughter and was singing about her, my dude

[@ScottSaysStuff]

Doesn't surprise me. Thanks for the reply.

[@johnnyappleseed8366]

this is just the original chance was on the remix

[@chewfromlewnah6463]

Which verse is chances verse

[@taylorhill8435]

The chance and Francis combo impeccable 👌🏾🙌🏾😀😀

[@ivanlin6847]

He's got some big hands

[@marinagracia6218]

Sainsbury's Bag once I read this I couldn't stop noticing it

[@chewfromlewnah6463]

I’m wheezing💀

[@SkaterOrnez]

Now they look like gloves. Reminds my of sonic pr that little cloud guy on the croissant cans 😂

[@smellsfishi]

weirdly i know exactly what he means about pears n figs n shit

[@leobellevue3848]

One of the best Genius episode ever...the less views somehow. Love you Francis.

[@spencer_abrams]

I revisit this every once in a while. i hope that some day ill have this level of patience and insight. very much looking forward to that day.

[@joaonepomuceno9797]

"One of the things you cannot change about yourself, is who your parents are." Damn.

[@smizzlebeatz8428]

He is so freaking talented! Seriously influences my music as well. First artist in a loooong time to do that. Much love!

[@moose6667]

This guys sounds more like Peter Gabriel than Peter Gabriel does in the actual song. Lol

[@mc-yl9dp]

Love it!!!! Thanks for making such a meaning full and thoughtful song

[@terriebirdcumminsjamison1368]

The song is something you want to listen to again and again. The words a complex story told in brevity. His enthusiasm about creating it, contagious. AND still my favorite part of the story is the discovery of wanting to learn about “these guys” who were instrumental in forming an aspect of himself. It’s one of those truths people say that makes you just wish you could be good friends with them.

[@MadameTory]

This is literally my favorite song of life!!!

[@itsreallymech]

Spin and excite you ??? I thought it was “ Let me stand beside you”

[@clairekuenz7271]

Me too!

[@itsreallymech]

Claire Kuenz my whole life has been a lie 😭😭😭

[@elariamiranda4334]

Me too!!!😂😂😂

[@bexa4195]

😂😂

[@lennyofoz]

I also hear "Peter Gabriel"

[@rocklobstr]

lennyofoz I literally thought Peter came out with a new single when I heard this.

[@socodemon]

lennyofoz, I hear Peter Gabriel much more than Phil.

[@thebeast-pd7ve]

This is one of my favorite songs

[@ashleem63]

So I first heard a snippet of this song on the Everything Everything soundtrack and thought for sure that it was Peter Gabriel. I looked it up, and I was thinking “Who is Francis and the Lights?! So I played the full song and promptly became obsessed. This video answers some questions (Thank you, Genius), and I love the bare bones honesty of this artist!

[@dubbagedudes]

Definitely thought it was Phil Collins when I first heard it

[@Dem0n]

Andrew Cardno Yeah it sounds similar

[@kirstenmccluskey4445]

Peter Gabriel is who I first heard

[@styl_propr]

It is so textured, rich in sound this song is such a feeling, fused with some Peter Gabriel undertones, love this tune! 🎶💜🎵

[@merc7757]

Exactly… Peter Gabriel type feel.😊

[@yasir1161]

i enjoy finding these new songs

[@sanyaparikh1979]

This song really makes u feel

[@kyarak9079]

[@Vinion51]

[@katlegomhlauli8423]

This song is so consuming and just amazing

[@rikoredd]

yo i love this song and the passion he has behind it makes me real frickin happy

[@alanmaya900]

So we're all just going to ignore the fact that he looks like a young and hipster Robert de Niro on the thumbnail?

[@klonepower5512]

This guy sounds like Lin Manuel Miranda

[@cake1159]

Speaking voice? Or singing? Cuz I think he sings much better (no offense Lin, love you too! 🤣)

[@glyle2504]

1,2 1,2 always on beat... you must've been, born with two right feet

[@gamegrunt8739]

This is going to be first dance song at my wedding 💕✨

[@monster6544]

This man is going to do big things.

[@WhatWeDigtoday]

Great song but its not phil collins it's peter gabriel, he's playin hisself. You could flow this right into "in your eyes"

[@dmiksa620]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@aquinoguh]

can I say something crazy? I fucking love this man so much

[@juiicyynitaa]

long overduee

[@narutouzumaki6890]

I thought it was “seed of our parents” for the longest

[@ozsane689]

What an amazing song !

[@brentaltm]

I'm so glad he said Phil Collins. I was trying to place what this song reminds me of.

[@stonedsage111]

I see Francis, but where are the lights?

[@HoneyBadgerSAWG]

S Makhanya it's one guy

[@L_J_D23]

You are the lights, I am. We all are

[@237_4k-drone]

He's right. I thought it was Phill when I first heard the song. Thumbs up if you did too.

[@k1ddfranklin576]

I LOVE THIS SONG especially with Chance in it

[@Biglego2001fm]

[@RebornAudio]

You’re inside sunshine. Where, ironically, there isn’t any.

[@eresparami3008]

Crazy that you say 80's Phil Collins. I so heard that in that song. I actually played the song and played a Phil Collins song for my kids so they could hear what I heard! lol

[@mphomasuku754]

The real hero of G.O.O.D. Music.

[@aR0ttenBANANA]

this song and violent crimes from the new Ye album are probably the 2 best songs about daughters in the world of hip-hop and related styles.

[@mgmg116]

Sounds like a blend of Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, and Steve Winwood

[@jessicaharris5078]
