Moses Sumney - Bystanders

[@phbzrs]

"Honesty is the most moral way but morality is grey" holy shit

[@d.kravtsov8885]

Song of the year already, idc what anyone says. Either this song or Me in 20 years. Incredible Album

[@chrisd.7473]

No no! Two Dogs is the song of the year, fight me

[@susanhuynh]

I disagree with Chris. Song of the year goes to this song. Not a fighter. ✌️

[@theconversationswithmuvend9047]

Me in 20 years, yes

[@bitchimgayasfuck171]

literally every line of this song is poetry holy shit???

[@kpacubo.]

truly 😩

[@skycaesar2016]

Sweet child of the light, remember who you are this too, shall become the light guiding you to transmute all this pain

[@KShabazzMusic]

This is life saving music. The entire message and delivery. THANK YOU MOSES!! After so many paradoxical social struggles and cyclical conversations, I'd basically gone numb, but at least I dont feel alone anymore. I'm paying it forward and I will thank you face to face one day. ♾💜

[@jacovawernett3077]

Amen and blessings from Jacova born March 11...in Bethlehem...😍☝️☝️😍

[@jacovawernett3077]

God's light shines from you..

[@vickymappas3454]

I have had found it hard to listen to music lately as my father passed on my birthday not long ago but not before promising me we shall meet again and your essence somehow feels as if my father is speaking through your humble grace

[@swaggghili6568]

catch me in the abandonded K-Mart parking lot vibing

[@saadmars961]

Græ was truly an experience. Every single track is excellence 🔥. But lyrically bystandards is the song I relate to the most. It tells a message most of us wish we'd learned from a bit earlier than we did; however early we may have.

[@aidanvela]

Very well put I agree with every word

[@breauna3988]

The artistry expressed in his music and videos never fails to pulls me into his space. I can't wait for touring to begin again 😣 I just know going to one of his concerts will be an experience

[@noxmagubane]

"A bystander of bygone standards..."😭😭😭😭😭❤❤

[@obianietherealchocolategod2192]

His vocals are from the heavenly ancestral realm. 🙏🏿♥️✨

[@lemonmart7793]

I’m not even done crying over Part 2 and more videos are coming I’ll brace for emotional impact 💛

[@dianejordan6549]

The voice of an angel ❤️💯every time it’s different & beautiful...

[@pianilocs]

Did you guys realize that the stores that he’s in front of have all gone out of business and now are dilapidated? Where I am, those businesses have shut down and he’s bent over backwards in front of them literally giving his all!!! it really speaks to the artist in him. He left no stone unturned. We’re going to understand this message in every way. He’s a genius!! I needed these messages, straight from Spirit😭

[@TheNaiveJohn]

This is divine. Just divine.

[@jordanwilkie]

Congrats on the new album! As someone who grew up in a-ville, it's weirdly beautiful and emotional to see these familiar locations highlighted by an artist of your stature. Thank you! Love you!

[@grilla4464]

Goodness gracious this is beautiful. The vocal performance and the ethereal production alone evokes so much emotion it brings you to tears. But then the poetry.. Incredible song.

[@fatimanaciri9490]

I love you Moses. This is your day, I hope you have a good one. You definitely made mine. Thank you!!

[@kajcenkars]

brilliance, poetry, magic. im truly speechless, body covered in goosebumps, mind racing.

[@danielarazo1747]

His voice is everything 😭❤️

[@kevinolivierngoka1238]

I’m wondering if someone else could have put these words together as good as Moses did. I truly love all the poetry in your music and your Art. Regardless your overwhelming voice. Thank you for all that. Really inspiring.

[@-cloudsaboveuscrying-6805]

Brilliant and touching... absolutely beautiful as always!!

[@Jojo-js7un]

So eerie and beautiful.

[@owenkjartanson7476]

This song. Wow I am just overwhelmed. True art has amazing power.

[@naivacc]

This is heaven 💚

[@Undefinedcreature394]

this song is legendary, defo my favourite song!

[@bambitucker7108]

I love your words as usual😏 always a message🌹... Love that your voice is a gift, and you usually deliver a word... The words remind me of someone on trial, and hardly able to convey the story through which not knowing to trust to tell from the gut-truth or to lie... Or are they already doomed before a word leaves their lips? Are the plans for this person already in motion before they sit before a jury of their peers??? Also could be relative to any form of social media being judged by ppl as well... That's my perception... Love the respectful artistry due to this pandemic... You have always been enough on the screen for my eyes to devour the essence you portray...

[@МарияМокрякова]

this poetry is truly a masterpiece. great song

[@Vinsomer]

This sound is too good to be this unappreciated.

[@anjajune6747]

You Sir are amazing. Thank you for the touching beauty you are creating. Keep dreaming, we hear you...

[@speakyourgalaxy4609]

This song makes me feel things I can’t describe. I want to go back in time and hug the younger me

[@Mariuk]

Highly underrated. The simplicity but profound beauty of this video (and song) are otherworldy

Hat trick of the year goes to: Two Dogs, Bystanders and Me in 20 Years

[@bailey2632]

you make me cry everytime

[@khary9]

I really hope this video was shot in an all-white area of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi or somewhere like that... I would love to be a fly on the wall in the Dollar General or Kmart manager's office as they review the tape and attempt to decipher the meaning of Sumney's demonstration. Can't stop laughing at the thought. Thank you. "Go down Moses, way over in Egypt's land. Tell ol Pharoah. 'Let my people go!'"

[@reneenoway6619]

[@sologrey1288]

101st comment June 19th, 2021 at 2:53am, I was here. This is proof that I lived and I onced walked this earth and I loved and laughed and cried. I existed, so before I'm gone I don't want to be a bystander in the background. This is proof I lived.

[@mazemame]

pisses me off how good this is

[@vickymappas3454]

Fight the good fight!

[@vickymappas3454]

I grew up as a Jehovah's witnesses the black sheep within my congregation aka cult now I have my own intimate relationship with the light your voice and message is what each soul needs

[@MsDeongi]

[@toastyveat4179]

Wish I listened this song 20 years ago

[@MITVIZ]

genious!

[@CloudGamingTheOriginal]

Moses: how many circles are you gonna do around me? Director: Yes.

[@toastyveat4179]

I have wasted away while standing in line at many a dollar general in my day. No seriously I totally get this forgetting who we truly are who we really want to be. Why should we apologize for just being.

[@mirandat6350]

Yuhhhhh

[@random_shit_online6104]

Hey Moses! The vinyl pre-order link isn't working ("Page Not Found" on Secretly Store). Would love to add this album to my vinyl collection. Hope you/they can get the link working again soon!

[@mosessumney]

thanks for the heads up. I've fixed the vinyl pre-order link. - M

[@arnevanstiphout5015]

@@mosessumney thanks, ordered! And thank you for the stories you share, in lyrics, music, and video. Listened to Aromanticism every day for almost a year when I found it. Looking forward to doing that with this album too. If you ever wanna come vibe in Myanmar, you have a place to stay!
