Saul Williams - "Explain My Heart"

[@SteffenRaknes]

I'm glad that there are artists like Saul Williams out there.

[@christopherkuhl1537]

Dude is freaking amazing, isn't he? I like his interviews too. The way he carries himself and his ideas about the world is truly refreshing in a world that seems so divided on so many things.

[@JimCorrigan777]

The world would be a better place with more people like this...

[@natashaf416]

The high jumps he’s doing and the turn in his neck are African ritualistic dances, this song has deep symbolism and Saul is an incredibly spiritual man.

[@stannabis]

exactly ! his work is deeply spiritual and he seems to understand our world in a more accurate way

[@christopherkuhl1537]

@@stannabis - I'm curious though. If you don't mind me asking for research purposes, what country, tribe, or part of Africa performs these ritual dances? Is there more than one? The closest thing I found to that dance was from the Maasai.

[@stannabis]

@@christopherkuhl1537 Sorry, I don't have any knowledge in african culture. If you find something, please keep me in touch.

[@ritt12thplanet]

saul is a deity in my heart he has taught more than any single ancient text or otherwise worldly studies. i feel more one with my true self when i listen to his stuff.

[@rihannafentyfan4life]

I LOVE HIM!! Amazing!!

[@trupavilion]

the world is filled with things we cant explain but people like saul make us think about more than just the world but existence itself, please keep it going my brother

[@pinksmoke5638]

I wish i found this man sooner....

[@wickedsandbox]

[@curtissterling4886]

I enjoy how the sound and rate of this songs expression goes, and also it is an altogether outstanding song.

[@dtigers024]

Brilliant musician. Amazing lyrics. I miss real music.

[@pinksmoke5638]

M Cabrera Detroit has some wonderful hidden talents around our streets.... just got to know where to look 😊

[@CherryRadish1414]

ahh!! I love his poetry and his videos are incredible. A true artist! From hearing Amethyst Rock Star to this he only gets better I love it!!! Keep it going Saul!

[@lemaat666]

Brillant movie clip too ! Thank you for all parisian french like I, who deeply appreciate your work ! Welcome home in Paris next time you're in !

[@JasonBRhoades]

Am I the only one who thinks this guy has terrific style. Like...He looks SO COOL IN THIS VIDEO.

[@GaaraSama1983]

"style is the only constant in life"

[@mister5357]

Yes

[@genesismccloud4200]

My goodness...this man is a freaking genius.

[@Theflowoflove]

Saul is a Unviverse within a Universe within a Universe at the heart of love.

[@KB-mk9lv]

Ugh...Never stop Saul . I’ve been lucky to feel your influence since SLAM. Suffice to say you have what it takes to facilitate my strength and my purpose into something more proactive. I say “something” because I still feel a long road ahead.

[@Mammasitta]

Explain my heart? He said it all ......unexplainable 💫

[@esperthebard]

passion and poetry, transcending the boundaries of genre in search of something great

[@thehashishin7118]

Thank you for explaining mine. 🖖😉✌️⚡️♾️🎶🍀❤️🏴‍☠️♾️🎶❤️

[@curtissterling4886]

I think the sound of this song is extremely fun to hear, focused on the very understandable lyrics, quite a song that catches my mind state.

[@sugarlovedreadlock]

Thank You Saul!

[@curtissterling4886]

I like how this song has a real sense of amusement to me, and it is shown in a very appealing way for the sound and the ideas through the music, real good.

[@lmfmTV]

Awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@curtissterling4886]

This is a real thought moving song, it is easy to understand and think about yet, real plus complex and relevant to my listening interest I think.

[@nonchalant1985]

great great track. packs a punch.

[@blackbirdnow]

BRILLIANT..

[@ealvarezz10]

What is the price of a free soul? Deep, worthy of a list.

I was born on 4/20 so this is for me obviously 🙄😁😂💯💪🏾 Saul is the illest..... show us the way sensei 🙏🏾

[@stefer5979]

love the video and music. inspiring. war is inside.

[@joscelynwyntermusic]

WOAH How did I only just discover this!!!?!?!?!??!?!

[@jodiecridlebaugh5971]

Thanks

[@mathamri]

STUPENDOUS!

[@jogrady900]

What. A. Badass.

[@xhachiparmentierx]

He's magic.

[@bradychance8522]

Slam Nation was my inspiration for what has become my only way to clear the noise and that virtuoso and the mistro can't explain how to direct from the metamorphosis of my psyche the alchemy left to the metastatic space between dreams and intuitions become conscious. Explain my heart, all science is just art of you can rhyme...

[@testgodnewbillboardsforgib1422]

Love this speaks

[@DocFaust]

GREAT TRACK!

[@theoriginalsinbad3648]

Been following Saul Since I was like 14 and now im 21. Make more music homie get off that broadway stuff! You already made your mark but like I love that amethyst rock flow.. like that stream of consciousness flow its so dope. Godbless

[@lionintu]

Damn Saul U really didnthold back on this one. U Went INNN!!! I gotta listen to the lyrics by itself now...

[@despies2]

2:50 ... glimmer of light ... Saul SMILES :)

[@MM55M5M]

uff great stuff

[@oidni1]

I love the percussion!

[@JasonChamberlain]

still so powerful.

[@srenjakobsen986]

Like Kirkegaard, Saul Williams lyrics touches my heart.

[@Nowhy]

Try two filmmakers: Kim Ki-Duk and Sion Sono

[@JabberwockySupafly]

Wow! Uhh... I think its safe to say that I need time to digest this a little. Which is but per the norm with most of Saul's stuff though, so this is a good sign, I think. I'm not gonna lie though, Amethyst Rock Star still resonates with me on a much deeper level than anything he's ever put out since. I do enthusiastically applaud his unbridled creative spirit though. He simply will not be contained.

[@katrinatall]

I'm in love. Again.

[@funkazoid2511]

LOVE!

[@Xeniod]

this video inspired me to cut up a pair of red h&m jeans. was gonna throw em out anyway but now they're awesome again!

[@jdoyll1]

Ahah fun, that filmed in Paris. We can see a cemetary at a moment, that's the "Père lachaise" cemetary. Cool cool song from a french guy

[@koko93150]

He will be at the Shakespeare & Compagny bookstore in Paris this week. youhou

[@ealvarezz10]

I can't explain my heart either, but the attempt can be made.

[@Memale2009]

A Paris on peut très bien vivre et parfaitement mourir. Pensez au tombeau de Jim Morrison sur le cimetière Père Lachaise. C'est là qu'on a tourné cette vidéo!

[@emmandemmeteeee]

Yeaaaaaaaa!

[@LucidDreamOfficial]

I take that exact subway treadmill every morning. Feels weird ^^

[@krooklyn77]

Amen!!

[@metalsaw666]

I think I understand. This song seems to be about how illogical our emotions and seemingly random actions prompted by them are compared to the predictable actions that we take on a logical basis and calling into question the historical/biological genesis of our species' mutual cooperation and inherent empathy. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@ciceroalmeida7479]

That's exactly what I think the song is about too. Nonetheless it's beat and overall feel sound amazing to me. Saul is great.

[@pinksmoke5638]

Not going to lie..... i like the fact the song ends exactly at 4:20 😅

[@nikita_soloviev]

super duper

[@71popins]

Amazing video , the mesages is clear :(

[@austinv785]

alright the album comes out on my birthday!! :D

[@MadbencoFS]

Can't believe all these racist comments?! Frigging idiots say anything they want on youtube. Love the track and love the sound! Keep em Coming Saul Williams. SCREW THE HATERS!

[@jamesdillaman]

The heart is actually a muscle that works like a pump in distributing blood throughout the body. The heart has four chambers. The two at the top are the left and right atria and the two at the bottom are the left and right ventricles. Blood vessels lead in and out of these chambers. #ExplainedYourHeart

[@peterbriers]

Sounds promising!

[@jessicaquestica]

awww wow

[@Twoplusfouris7]

sick triangle bro

[@ealvarezz10]

@JabberwockySupafly With this much depth digestion is a must.

[@Namewastakendamn]

@JabberwockySupafly Fully agreed on everything! All of his stuff is nice, and is deep and complex. But Amethyst Rock Star is imo by far his best work.

[@Xeniod]

@jdoyll1 Saul is an American but he has been living in Paris lately I believe.

[@Empre55]

i am addicted to your work where can i buy?

[@romisana]

May you please site your references for the information you just provided? Also, I highly doubt he's just rambling. This is Saul we're talking about...there's always more to the surface when it comes to his writing.

[@tammywalls4297]

Stupid ad asking me questions it already knows my answer to SS spending spree? Why?

[@blondelillily]

@SweatyPirateHookers Are you sepher?

[@sycastells1212]

I am right fucking pissed that Saul Williams has been doing things like this for over a decade and I'm only just now finding out about it (thanks to Neptune Frost.) Although I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Ignorance seems to be infinite. Gotta keep chipping it away.

[@domenico.dimarco]

Trent Reznor did not produced or worked at all with Saul in this album. The record was produced by Renaud Létang under Columbia Records and most Songs, both music and lyrics, where composed by Saul. Get your facts straight

[@deadpeasantmoon]

around 1:55 "bap bay yee bap bay yah" (or, at least, roughly what it sounds like to me) are those nonsense words or simply words of another language?

[@nonchalant1985]

SAUL WILLIAMS has this raw/earth/voodoo theme about him

[@sigra4867]

The Bible does explain the heart and I agree with it.

[@sereda008]

So does biology, which is two thousand years more modern.

[@rixubishi]

Severus, just because it's modern doesn't give it more validation. We are far from being the pinnacle of civilisation. We could learn a thing or two from the ancients and the way they viewed the world. This reductionist materialist bullshit is deception of the highest order. But do carry on, if that's your bag. You'll see the Truth one day. And I'm not religious, just in case you were wondering. I walk with the ineffable mystery. That's enough for me.

[@sereda008]

I'll refrain from deluding myself with improbably mystery :P I know it's fun and part of human nature, but I really prefer to find it in fiction instead of pretending there's lots of weird voodoo magic going around. The status of modernity does put biology above ancient knowledge though. That's why I don't think you personally would prefer your wounds healed with boiling oil ^^ Some knowledge was lost for sure, but when it comes to knowledge of the world, I doubt we're missing out on much.

[@Nowhy]

@@sereda008 if you explain a mystery, the mystery gets lost and becomes a poetic representation or phantom. A god and God is not the same...

[@Kikoeca1]

What is a bible?

[@BartBania]

the song itself is great. the lyrics magic. but... the video? is it purposefully meant to be a piece of kitsch?

[@christiank.7505]

Earnest and left sin!

Poetry comes from the heart, if it does not, it comes our sounding similar to a fart. TM

Not bad

Uh oh, occult symbolism, he sold out to the illuminato.

[@autoscopy]

I am very disappointed by this album. It's a little too sunshine for me. Not much rapping on this record either. :(
