[@FKAkingsley]

[@LetsTalkTea]

way to contradict yourself instantly

[@ACONNECTIONTV]

You know bro, I am listening to this album every day. I love your talent.

[@Liberti_Deveraux]

I can’t put into words how many times I have had this song on repeat, while I am in my creative moments and cried endlessly. Simply because I was facing my fears. It’s the only song I would listen to for hours, sometimes days at a time nonstop. Idk It just spoke to me. It Reminded me of my worth, even if no one else sees it, or believes in me God does. Thank you for sharing pieces of you with me 💕✝️

[@camij9371]

Sending you love and light through your journey ❤️ keep creating and flowing. I’ve been feeling the same. I believe in you!!!

[@xkhalilthebossxx9986]

all day for the last three days

[@HekimaAshe]

It's the growth. Attention to detail. Vulnerability. I "Stan" very little people. You are one of 3. Never disappoint.

[@cierra7119]

I’ve cried so much to this so on repeat!!! And it hits home Everytime! Being an outcast for so long then finally coming into your own is such a beautiful feeling. Having the courage to just be unapologetically you and their problems with you are just that theirs! Such a wonderful place to be in. Thank you for giving us this beautiful piece of you. 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@sherryjellison]

Tell me your story without telling me your story! You better vogue out of that cocoon, Durrand!!! Another beautiful piece of art that you've created! Love it!

[@Nordic_E.T.]

Durand grew up around legendary artist like Earth, Wind and Fire because his Father is in the industry. This is part of why the harmonies are emaculent!!

[@BrotherEDEN]

This is so deep, Durand. So glad to be a witness to your evolution, your growth and your depth. The music was always flawless ... and now, your intention and vision matches your vocal prowess.

[@person15526]

It's very seldom that art touches the heart like this. You divested yourself of the stagnant cocoon of doubt and inhibition to evolve into the dazzling beauty that is embracing yourself and the purest truth. As a a fellow black gay man I have looked up to you for many years and with this as always you showcased the divine femininity & masculinity we all possess. Durand you are to be respected and applauded, the magic you create is sooo deeply appreciated and refreshing to many spirits I assure you. Quite frankly that range just don't quit and I will stan forever for that alone. I saw God in this. I of course saw You in this. And I saw Me in this. Thank you for the gift of melodious encouragement 💞🤎🙂

[@reginanickens3565]

[@kmona111]

[Chorus] (They'll comprehend once you find the right melody) What does that mean? Can you explain please? (We’ll understand once you find your identity) That's whatcha mean, it's like (1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah!) [VERSE I] You must really hate me and I don't know why Knowing I'm here but won't look me in the eye First you run me ragged up and down the scale Then later can’t figure out why you’re out of breath [Chorus] (They'll comprehend once you find the right melody) What does that mean? Can you explain please? (We’ll understand once you find your identity) That's whatcha mean, it's like (1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah!) [VERSE II] I was all alone in my cocoon I had gotten (so comfy in my solitude) Until one day I opened up in a way (way) That changed my shit and I'll never be the same... Thank you, Bravery (Running for president and going nowhere Sending out a search Party to find you Give me the quality, spare the dramatic) Or we won't know if it's really there [Chorus] (They'll comprehend once you find the right melody) What does that mean? Can you explain please? (We’ll understand once you find your identity) That's whatcha mean, it's like (1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah!) Like 1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah! Like 1, 2, 3 aww Yeah Yeah Yeah! (and another muthafuckin' thang... don't forget it... mmm Oh, another muthafuckin' thang... Hatecho asssssssss...)

[@mclyteone]

You absolutely slayed this video!! The vulnerability you displayed in this visual just makes the lyrics mean that much more. Thank you for the transparency you always give us. Thank you for serving us a piece of you throughout your journey. Most importantly Thank you for being UNAPOLOGETICALLY you!!!!

[@CD-yp5tz]

Your comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing grows there”. Aṣẹ. We all have our own cocoons that we need to break out of to experience true liberation. A word! This was beautiful, love you, the outfits & I loved the dance breakdown.

It’s the end for me 😍 I just luv this song.

[@daniellewilson9453]

Watching this with the knowledge provided from the behind the scenes video makes this a completely different experience. Understanding that the song is from the melody's perspective..👏 An amazing job!!

[@lFrenzied]

Is it about his personal experience?

[@daniellewilson9453]

@@lFrenzied Yes, no doubt, the entire song is personal. However, In the behind the scenes video he said that the 1st verse is being song from the perspective of the melody. Which is genius. Here's the link just you haven't had the opportunity to watch. Plus, he explains it 💯 time better :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3q1ZHZ_lNZ3qpo
