[Music]
or you fall in love and being forced to
get back up again manages to be both
poetic and tragic and who can’t relate
to that
well Manama madra number 9 Forrest Gump
for Vista I’m the father Frank loves
movies so it’s no surprise that he used
the titular 1994 oscar-winning film as
the basis for a love song unfortunately
for Frank life isn’t exactly a box of
chocolates he knows exactly what he’ll
get and it isn’t who he wants the songs
heart stick lyrics contrast the poppy
upbeat instrumentation which almost
makes you feel bad for wanting to dance
to it as channel oranges final song the
forest and Jenny inspired track leaves
listeners with a sweet taste in their
mouth
[Music]
mine on the road good number eight
white Ferrari watch the clouds so white
Ferrari it song will make you want to
drive around the suburbs in the middle
of night with someone who’s more than a
friend it starts right away with it’s
worse with no time for an intro you
think Frank is all business here however
its serene relaxed atmosphere is
complemented by Frank’s soothing vocals
a careful you still hear these things
about a desire to escape from a routine
and a failed love interestingly enough
John Lennon and Paul McCartney are
credited as songwriters here that’s
because Frank repurposes alive from the
Beatles is here there and everywhere
everywhere while paying tribute to the
iconic band this way may have been risky
it definitely pays off
[Music]
[Applause]
number seven bad religion sex did you
have ins you must shrink to the hour
leave the meter running getting over a
broken heart isn’t exactly easy on this
deeply personal song Frank draws on
gospel music and religious references to
express his pain this brings me to Manny
song features some of rank strongest
most powerful vocal works and is the
stark change from as usual more
restrained style of singing Oh
demonstrates Frank’s gift for making you
feel which he feels the song gradually
grows more Intendant goes on reflecting
on Frank’s emotional struggles as it
builds to a crescendo when it finally
lets up you may find yourself clutching
a tear-soaked pillow case it’s a bad
religion number 6 swim good pretty big
concern on this solemn serious but still
catchy song Frank showcases his ability
to turn the darkest of subjects into a
hit there’s talk of wearing his best
suit and a Lincoln Town Car but at the
end of the day the song is actually
about Frank’s desire to drive that car
into the ocean
songs organ and hip-hop drums are a
distraction from how dark and sad it
actually is it’s subtly auto-tuned vocal
shows shades of kanye west with album
808s and heartbreak is referent we
encourage listening to the song in the
car just to maybe not around any large
bodies of water
[Music]
number five night
furgus city round the clock everybody
needs you only Franken make success
sounds lonely and introspective
well maybe not only playing dirty got me
tired got stressed up but he just does
it so well
you don’t even gotta watch being honest
with you Frank seems to be singing to
himself here he discusses the trials and
tribulations that same brings along with
it as well as some of the less desirable
lifestyle choices that come with money
and influence
about halfway through the psalm the feet
switches up it becomes slower and more
sparse as Frank reminisces about the
past so the song is about the monotony
of everyday and everynight business
Frank manages to turn it into a
certified banger number four
novocaine I say the status comes in a
cab when I’ve owned it although Frank
might be best known for his songs about
heartbreak this song shows off a more
fun playful side of his personality
it describes Frank’s ill-fated
short-lived romance with a girl he meets
at Coachella matter reckless Ella a
one-state shiksa she was deceived
Dietrich while Frank talks of not being
able to feel anything at all
thanks to the effect of the titular drug
always listeners can feel is the urge to
get up and move around to one of his
most sensible song no okay

most philosophical contemplating the
nature of love the universe and pleasure
he wears his soul and R&B influences on
his sleeve here creating the perfect
song for cuddling up with her
significant other that you’ve been going
up and control he was such a having to
come the song features a rare guest

number two thinking about you a tornado
flew around my room before you came
excuse the mess and made you ever love
someone who didn’t love you back if so
Frank can relate this mellow ballads

creativity and originality as the second
single from channel orange West’s minds
were blown when they heard this wild
song she’s work in pyramid to name it
tells a sprawling story that spans
thousands of years and moves from
ancient Egypt to the present day the
