Couple days back my wife was seriously unwell in hospital. I walked out and jumped into my car to get a few hours kip and clear my head. Turned the radio on to hear this track for the first time ..........I just had this feeling she was going to pull through. She did and this track just makes me feel good like it was a turning point for her - beautiful track

Thanks for sharing man. Been going through a similar scenario and I feel the same about this song. Thanks @mrticketmaster and thanks Loyle 👍🏼

[@VivianeBossina]

So very glad she pulled through!

[@bokchoyboi]

So I noticed that this is named after the chef Yotam Ottolenghi and found out that Loyle Carner actually has a side hobby as a chef teaching kids with ADHD (which is freaking amazing)! You can see it if you google his chef name: "Chilli Con Carner" but this made me respect him even more! Plus a Jordan Rakei feature? This man is making moves!

[@GaragebornGrey]

you mean you disagree?

[@andycosta7625]

as if he made this video on his own...

[@GaragebornGrey]

I wasn't suggesting he made it on his own, it says in the description, directed by Oscar Hudson. I expect he had input although even if none of the video was his idea, that wasn't exactly what I meant. It's just the sincerity and beauty you see of the music and how well it comes together with the video. You get people who rap incredibly well, but often people who conveying something sincere

I very rarely write comments, but this song has been with me for some time now.... This song has become like a daily driver for me, it plays sometime, somehow, somewhere during the day. This song does not describe an exact moment in my life, or a feeling in my life. I listen to this song at work, at home, in my car, I listened to this song when I met my girlfriend or when my grandparents died of covid. This song is not just a song, this song is my life and for that thank you Loyle! Whoever reads this comment, I wish you only the best!

I’m a soon to be 40 year old guy. Last night at a pizza party I met up with some childhood friends, one whom I hadn’t seen in years. Back in elementary school we all used to love rap, and we used to listen to rap every time we hung out. In honor of the good old days the host put on a mix featuring legends. You know, Wu, Nas, Outkast, Snoop, Mos Def, Skee-Lo, Lauryn, Mobb Deep, Common, Dre.. He hasn’t been listening to much new rap at all, but then suddenly he said “you guys ever heard of Loyle Carner?” I admitted that was a name I’d never heard before, and I was hesitant to let him change to some newer stuff, but he was the host so whatcha gonna do? I am so glad that he did. This music reminds me of the soulful grooves from the first time I heard ATCQ, and as a primarily beat driven guy, I found myself not only diggin the beat, but also listening to the lyrics. Absolutely beautiful. Been a long time since I’ve discovered something new that I really like, but you sir, you sir is a hidden treasure that more people need to experience. Peace and love from Norway

[@Lionn_siimbaa]

I have been depressed for 2 years as a teen from age 12 to 14. I went to a school where i would get bullied because i was different than the others on a psychological level. This song, especially where the ‘little lady’ asks her mom if the blazing sun will ever shine again, made me think. I was wondering the same back then. And now it is. It is shining brighter than ever. Thank you ben ❤

[@Matty9003]

I lost my good friend and partner in crime late last year, this song for some reason just allowed me to shed a tear for him. I told him im sorry it took so long though, rip my bro, forever my right hand. Appreciate your people please.

[@cameronjhollis5753]

I was sat up on the train, staring out the window at the rain I heard this little lady must've felt the pain, asked her mum if the blazing sun will ever shine again. I felt ashamed, felt the same, Not her mother though.. Nah, starting to laugh got her son involved, she mentioned the past like a running joke, she told her without the rain theres no stunning growth. Close, to everything or nothing, picture past the honey boo and the bluffing, where the wooden spoon is only cuffing. Shorten the discussion but the roots can't manoeuvre out of nothing. I've been suffering these dreamy days, remedy and lust don't hold any memories of us. I'd rather hold you every day until the memories are dust, Yo, we only caught the train because you know I hate the bus, Never get enough. Born and raised, Made attempts to crawl away, find a way To exist and hide your face Some relate, leave everything in yesterday. They asked about the bible I was reading, I told them that the title was misleading Labelled it Jerusalem but really it was just for cooking Middle-Eastern. I could see my mind was changing with the seasons, shaded for a reason. They will start decreasing, leaving like the orange in the evening It was creeping through the clouds but now I'm proud to see the images releasing, I just wish the little lady could've seen it.. But she was dreaming. Ah, I reckon she's standing with her mum, saying to her look; 'Mother here's the sun, rooted in the moments or the memories that are done' So i sit and start to wonder on the woman she'll become. I wonder if I'll have a son or a daughter, ones that I brought up, never strong never telling me to run. Never tryna' find a sum, tryna' get it done. Yo, I wonder if she'll ever be as clever as her mum. Born and raised, Made attempts to crawl away, find a way. To exist and hide your face Some relate, leave everything in yesterday. Born and raised, Made attempts to crawl away, find a way. To exist and hide your face Some relate, leave everything in yesterday.

To answer your question about the s ong title - I found this on a lyric site : The song’s title references Israeli chef Yotam Ottolenghi who Carner admires greatly. Whilst away, Carner has established his ‘Chili Con Carner’ cooking school for kids with ADHD which he also suffers from himself and so the theme of cooking is prevalent at this time in his life.

[@Cruzerblade22]

I remember hearing this song for the first time when I was in Melbourne in a restaurant which was an old train carriage on top of a building so the first line "I was sat up on the train, staring out the window at the rain" really made this song stand out as it was exactly what I was doing. This was in March 2020 when COVID became a thing and everyone had just lost their jobs and we were all still in shock. At the end when it says "this life can Be good one minute and next minute it can turn bad, so don't look down on nobody coz That's how life can turn for everybody" That really stuck with me because it was true. We had 3 months of work lined up and it was amazing, then all of a sudden it was gone. Thank You Loyle for creating a forever song that although it was a bad time, its a beautiful song that I can 100% resonate with, and will forever.
