It's just like in that moment during which the drop occurs, you just let go briefly and temporarily abandon your fears. Then, suddenly the ride is over and you're grateful that you're still in tact. ❤

[@darlenerogers2552]

This song moves me to tears, I have played every video of you guys singing this song, and each time I have a different experience. That is not only good music but artistry at the highest level. WOW!!!!

[@marquiskuhkieslaughter6481]

Darlene Rogers I agree. My favorite is their Tiny Desk performance! Perfection! and Jelly is allowed to shine. They're magic.

[@johnhebert6242]

Best group in New Orleans & why aren't they closing Jazzfest on last Sunday yet ???

[@danielwatson7091]

I slipped up recently and drank her words.. only to have them leak out of my eyes. Afraid to listen in mixed company for fear others (*she) may feel something's wrong and need to either console or comfort me, but they wouldn't have tears in their own.. and that would make me the saddest of all. So, instead I cry alone and smile empathetically. #MenabsolutelyCry2

[@lindseytaylor9566]

[@Sol-Amar]

First time hearing this song. But upon listening I get a taste of something strawberry flavored (synesthesia, I guess). Beautiful poetry, vocals, and instrumental though. How about yourself?

[@AayeCreates]

I have always loved “RollerCoaster” but tonight I heard it. I HEARD IT!! I just want to FALL! As I get the text from whom I want to Fall With. Its an Amazing Blessing 43 years to feel safe enough to “TRUST” & fall 💞🫶🏽♾️🙏🏽 Àṣẹ

[@AayeCreates]

Last night Tank Sung at “Midnight Preserves” at Preservation Hall! Listening with the Love of My Life #KellyLoveJones whom I received the text from. (The above 👆🏽 comment) We were under the star lit sky in the courtyard of Preservation Hall. Tank knows my beloved and in her coming and going she stopped and spoke. At the end of the nite I was able to tell Tank #TankAndTheBangas how I fell in Love with #MyBeloved #KellyLoveJones and how #RollerCoaster transformed my being to receive and give LOVE!! #TRUST the Universe is listening to our hearts desires and brings them to life. As my gratitude 🙏🏽 I gifted her my #PeacockFeathered custom fan representing the wealth and love of #MyBeloved Life is GOOD GREAT & it keeps getting Better and Better EVERYDAY!!! A Dúpẹ́ Lọ́wọ́ Olódúmarè 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒀𝒐𝒖 ❣︎ Tank!!! Àṣẹ Àṣẹ Àṣẹ 🙏🏽😇♾️✨💕💞
