Solange - "Cranes in the Sky" | Live at Sydney Opera House

The slow realization that Solange is one of the most important performance artists alive.

[lebokgangthomo]

The backup vocalists are killing it too. I would never memorize all those moves and sing at the same time. Amazing!

[Dvyne]

Solange shines in her own light. I love how artistic she is.

[yelol]

The Knowles sisters are SO creative.

Just like her sister she has created her own genre of music that no one can recreate. Let’s not compare the sisters but rather recognise how creative and smart they are by creating their own genre of music.

[Jay.Armani]

Solange exudes yoga, pilates, stones & crystals vibes.

[dreamergirlbaby]

All we ask lastly is to please upload “Don’t Touch My Hair” by Solange

[Domino]

universal song about depression and dealing with sadness/loss

[EShavonRichardson]

Her high note at the end... super proud of Solange. And is it just me, or does she get more beautiful with time?

[bbygyal]

I love how her concerts are literally works of visual art as well. 😍

[jesusisapisces]

My favourite song of hers if not my favourite song ever. It just speaks to my soul in a way that no song has ever.

[sharonfreeman]

Her Aura is just so Spiritual, calming, soulful. She is just as talent as Beyonce but in a Trans Neo Funk with Angelic undertones. Sumthing very different!

[deniseday]

I do believe she won a grammy for this song! I love it!!

[VivianFlowers]

I think she's just on another level from her sister. Her soul seems old and real. Idk what it really is, the sound, the visuals, the vibe, I'm not sure but her music is different and real.

[Jerusalem_]

This Song got me thru a Spiritual Battle.

[MechakittenX]

This whole album changed my life. It's been a source of comfort, introspection, and an exploration into parts of the black experience I couldn't put words to. I meditated to it, I tripped to it, I listened to it while I was in another country and needed some familiar comfort. I'm very happy to have the ability to experience it. Honestly, the musicality of every single track is gorgeous. They're a rich tapestry of sound and some of the nuances only stand out with good headphones or good sound systems. Shes so intensely skilled and I hope she makes more music someday.

That said.

It is annoying as hell Solange's officiant YT channel has comments turned off. We cant even have a good discussion about the music there. I understand wanting the art to speak for itself, but YouTube is more about a communal experience, imo. It ain't like the artist has to read the comments or anything. Sheesh.

[KenyonClemonsNY]

When you realize Solange is one of the best! So much Diana Ross in her performances. So much old black talent in those veins!

[wii]

I tried to drink it away
I tried to put one in the air
I tried to dance it away
I tried to change it with my hair
I ran my credit card bill up
Thought a new dress make it better
I tried to work it away
But that just made me even sadder
I tried to keep myself busy
I ran around circles
Think I made myself dizzy
I slept it away, I sexed it away
I read it away
Away, away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, away
Well it's like cranes in the sky
Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
Yeah it's like cranes in the sky
Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
I tried to run it away
Thought then my head be feeling clearer
I traveled 70 states
Thought moving around [would] make me feel better
I tried to let go my lover
Thought if I was alone then maybe I could recover
To write it away or cry it away (don't you cry baby)
Away, away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, away
Well it's like cranes in the sky
Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
Yeah it's like cranes in the sky
Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
Away, away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, away

I am thousands of feet in the air on a flight from New York to Minneapolis, and this version just took me out!!! I landed before the plane.

[damoriousmurphy]

[montychambliss]
