White-Odd Future(Feat. Frank Ocean)

White from the album OF Tape, Vol. 2

[arekusu.]

Sometimes I think this song was Frank's prediction that OF was gonna end one day. It kind of sounds like someone thinking of nostalgic memories.

[RDowney]

Man, I'm 23 now, and was 17 when I first heard this song. Back then I never thought it would ever be possible to forget those times, but they were simply a collection of memories I was making. A lot of them are lost - I really do forget a lot of 17; the twilight of my childhood spent mostly with the first girl I ever loved. I know I'll forget 23 pretty soon, too. Frank really just oozes wisdom and perspective. This is an incredible - though melancholic - piece of timeless music.

[YungZaraki]

The outro has Tyler written all over it

[wallysparkz]

This song is so haunting. Feels like it ended too soon, like there was more to tell.

[kennedyrockets]

Man, this song reminds me of high school wishing I was grown. Getting faded with my friends after school. Depressed and young .

[ssimplydeliriouss]

Ngl this sounds like Frank being scared about OF ending. Like how he says "What if all my wild friends, and the times I've had with them-will all fade to grey soon, on the TV station" OF was pretty wild and I think Frank was the most calm out of the group. Also they had a show on Adult Swim called Loiter Squad so Frank might've been referencing that. I do know that Frank loved/loves all his friends and I'd assume this song was him sort of predicting or thinking about the day OF would end/break up

[ogjonx]

This is basically just a frank ocean song

[nugg]

This song sounds like frank was having a peaceful yet emotional existential crisis about aging and future

[helmzmen]

"And what of all my wild friends, and the times I've had with them
We'll all fade to grey soon, on the TV station"


That shit hurted

[JulianLovesAll]

Could this be Earth? Could this be light?
Does this mean everything is going to be alright?
One look out my window, there's trees talking like people
I've dreamt of storms, I've dreamt of sound
I've dreamt of gravity, keeping us around
I've slept in the darkness, it was lonely, and it was silent
What is this love? I don't feel the same
Don't believe what this is, could be given a name
I woke, you were there, tracing planets on my forehead
But I'll forget 23 like I forget 17
And I forget my first love, like you forget a daydream
And what of all my wild friends, and the times I've had with them
We'll all fade to grey soon, on the TV station

[randomness]

The line “what of all my wild friends and the times I’ve had with them… we’ll all fade to grey soon” shiit hit harder than cement… to my old highschool buddies I wish y’all good 💯

[Wedgecorpslave]

I'm 26, this was highschool for me. Beautiful time. Glad I experienced it

[antisobriety]

This song came out when I was in a children's home, it got me through lots of dark times...now I'm 24 and coming across this song brought genuine tears to my eyes.

[capalot]

honestly might be my favorite frank song all time. between this, pyramids, self control. a million more, ivy, lost. but this one sticks out heavy. was probably 13 when this shi came out. 25 now. honestly happy social media (tik tok) didnt blow up songs like this. its a personal piece i have for myself 🤣❤️ selfish ik 🤷‍♂️

[americanmystic]

turning 28 tomorrow. i remember the first time i heard this at 17. hits deep

[anthonybugg]

I think the song means he's transitioning into Falling in Love and he's not mad about it he's accepting but at the same time on the verge of crossing over so he's just saying the things he will miss but he's willing to sacrifice because that feeling he has for that person I believe is love.

[starlightspeaks]

When I was suicidal, odd future helped me not want to kill myself, this song, I remember a special moment when I was 13, having my headphones in ready to jump off a bridge, but when this song came on, I thought, “this isn't right I should stay. Where some people care.” this song brought me to tears, whipping away my tears, I walked back home, throwing away my suicide note, it felt new, it's incredible how just a single song can make you feel.

This was literally when I was like 16 and I think I'm about to cry.

[Abhayjeet]

I heard it back in 2012 man. Good times :)

[vmpvilez]

This song really just hurts, mostly the part about friends. Makes me cry every time I hear it.
