Moses Sumney - Bless Me (before you go)

Co-directed by Moses Sumney and Josh Finck.

BLESS ME

It's so predictable
To farm the parable
From every tête-à-tête
But when you see the end
In every beginning
Lessons are all you get

Bless me
Before you go
You're goin' nowhere with me

Met you in the wrestling pit
You came when I needed it
A body on top of me
To teach me
Stayed up past the witching hour
You showed me your secret powers
I wish
That mine
Could freeze time

Bless me
Before you go
You're goin' nowhere with me

Cupid has it out for me
Gave me crooked alchemy
Eros,
Oh god of flings,
Sees the beauty in all things
But stupid's as stupid does
I grasp your cloak because
Maybe you'll grant me wings
If I cling

Bless me
Before you go
You're goin' nowhere with me

You must be an angel
Your conscience is clean
Why would you soil yourself
Wit a monster like me
If the good lord sent ya
The good lord can take ya back
I hope when he comes for you
You illuminate the path

(Bless me before you go)
(Bless me before you go)

You're goin' nowhere with me
You're goin' nowhere with me
You're goin' nowhere with me
You're goin' nowhere with me

Bless me
Before you go
You're goin' nowhere with me

Bless me
Before you go

BEFORE YOU GO
The ache
The aching
A lot of creation stories begin with separation
The ache
The ache
What does it mean to be in love?
The ache
What does in love mean? What does in love mean? What does in love mean? I don't know – I don't. I'm in love everyday, I love –
The ache
The aching
The aching
When we die
The aching
We won't be together
The aching
You will never see that person again. Now go

If Frank Ocean released this they would be mailing him grammys already

[FunnnyValentine]

I will always remember sweet hug this gentleman gave me, after one of his concerts. But oh dear...his music hugs me each time too.

[loker]

OMG when he repeats "you're goin nowhere with me" HE LITERALLY RIDES THE BIKE IN CIRCLES, GOING NOWHERE

[menoriez]

funny how each new song is my favorite, no boring tune in sight in moses discography. a true artist.

[geofflock]

My wife passed away 6 months ago and whenever I hear this music I think of here and how powerful our love was. A love that does not fail. Thank you Moses for being you and thank you so much for your music.

[blaqgurl]

This is music to chew, savor, and digest. Thanks for the to eat.

This thumbnail is the vision I always wanted to have

[ConcordT]

Discovered this music at the end cut of blacklist the series and I felt alive it's 2023 and it's still rich

[themoistcactus]

Every song makes me think so much. I listen to it and hours later I just reminisce on the musicality, the bewitching lyrics, and intense visuals.

[soaribb]

Love your music
Your fashion
Your gorgeousness
Your messages
Bless me, king.

[johnespree]

There is hope in a post- prince world....moses sumney has picked up the torch

[Zenene-okel]

The poetry of him singing "you're going nowhere with me" and meanwhile he's riding a bike in circles, ughhhh

[irishkoffeee]

Still coming back here after 2 years, thank you.

[davidhazielmartinezramirez]

The lyric "bless me before you go" reminds me of the biblical story about the fight between Jacob and the angel.

[lovelyme]

the vocals, the lyrics, the background...everything is just always "right"

[opalfishsparklequasar]

I heard this for the first time the other day:
I almost died.
Of the joy,
of the excellence.
Stunned & happy
to find he is so singular
& charming
too.
Thank you, God.
☺💖💎🏆

[andreideferrer]

the sound on the end section reminds me of siamese dream era smashing pumpkins... and that is awesome!

[ScoutFinch]

The moment between Aissa and Dembe as adults, when you think they may kiss. This is such a great song from The Blacklist.

[elliebluesea]
