there is a lot of pop culture aural imagery and soundbites. The undercurrent of the albums narrative is that it is like a fragmented memory, a suburban dream. I love how personal it is without losing it's narrative elements. Frank is not the many narrators of the stor(ies), he's the narrator of the narrators and the guy pulling the strings of the characters within the stories. I think part of his narrative voice is used to explore identity via pulling apart the assumptions of masculinity, personhood, class, gender, race, sex. Usually the first things I notice are musical elements, but the content and how it's woven very skillfully through the form is what I really pay attention to. I love the layers of the album, musically, but his strengths are in the narrative and concept. You know he stumbled on themes with both mystery and profoundness when he can play with styles, characters and each time produce something that can stand on its own, but also has integrity within the context of his work.įrank changes the perspective of the narrator using the chorus and verses interchangeably. He's exploring the same key themes as a person and an artist but very differently in each work. Lost to me, almost can fit into a trilogy of songs:Īll of the songs fit in between the gaps and spaces between these, but these are the keystones in his work. It's comparable to Lana Del Ray's "born to die" thematically and structure wise IMO. I'll talk about the conceptual nature of the album after, but I think there's logic to Franks song progression even tho it's not quite linear. It is indeed the song straight after pyramids. without looking at the tracklisting and just this song lyrically, I "guessed" that this would be on the album right after pyramids. My InterpretationThis album contains a lot of duality. Nothin' wrong with another short plane ride (ain't nothin' wrong) No nothin' wrong with a lie (ain't nothin' wrong) Whippin' meals up for a family of her own some day So I can weigh the work I got on your girl (too weird to live, too rare to die)Ĭan't believe I got her out here cookin' dope (cookin' dope) Silk shirt and it's Versace (one of God's own prototypes)
#Frank ocean pyramids part 2 downlaoad full
Big full breast on my baby (yo we goin' to Florida)Ĭouldn't weigh the love I've got for the girl
