  • Loving her and the music she is true artist in every way.

  • Sadly we are walking dead now. The few of us that are the awake daydreamers can't work fast enough to revive them.

  • This dong really got my attention. she has a very unique style. I wish we had more music out there like this! Ali Supreme

  • @toyalynn2supreme i have a great dong too.

  • i've heard her songs before but i never knew she sang them until a while ago

  • i love her sound but i cant understand a lot of what she says. is it supposed to be like that?

  • Wonderfull

  • This Song Reminds Me Of The James Bond Movie GoldFinger

  • Comment removed

  • She should be the next music artist to sing for the next James Bond theme song and it should sound just like this song if not better!

  • Thank you,Janelle!!! I thought their was no more creativity left in music. You have given me hope!!!

  • i haven't hear some like this in a long time! 

  • man, those lyrics speak to me so much.

    just fucking beautiful, full of talent. She made such a serious topic whimsical in a way. God, love this woman.

  • I would like to see a video of this song!

  • I'd say we're walking dead now

  • Listening to this I just imagined the coolest James Bond movie intro.

  • @bac0nisforlovers I was about to post the same kind of thing hahaha!!:)

  • This should have WAY more views.

  • @RainbowEater56 YES. This is an incredible song, with a mere 127,300 views? Crazy. Love this thing, esp the the way we live, the way we die, what a tragedy, I'm so terrified. Daydreamers please wake up, we can't sleep no more.

  • @jalehtri Late response, I apologise!

    Definitely. There's a lot of substance in her work, unlike a lot of the offensive material being dished out lately.

  • This is so calming... it should be in one of those spy movies.

  • Soul...

  • love this song omg

  • LITERALLY OBSESSED. That orchestra in the background....

  • OMG This is my first time listening to this song and I am truly amazed... I love it so much! Janelle Monae should be promoted more!

  • the first time i heard this song was January 23rd 2010. I listened to nothing else for the like a week. Then spent the rest of the year listening to her music and not much else. It's like sunshine peaking through dense grey clouds.

  • its so soulful man i love dis song

  • "Teacher, teacher please reach those girls in them videos

    The little girls just broken Queen, confusing bling for soul."

  • I love this song (: I heard it a long time ago but never got the name of it.It has a deep meaning to it. <3

  • Somebody get this girl on SNL!

  • are we really living or just walking down

  • Wow! Amazing artist! Why have I heard so much of Lady "gag-a" but haven't heard of Janelle Monae?? She's a true artist; classical yet modern, original and creative.  Using her music to stand out and be different, without having to resort to pathetic gimicks like wearing a meat dress. Lady gaga neds to have a seat, take a class, and learn from a real musical artist.

  • Lawd have mercy on em

  • Wow, dope

  • I love Janelle

  • I swear i'm not gonna let anyone sleep on her no more! I'm gonna request her new songs on the radio, watch and share her videos regiously, tell all my friends bout her, and play her music 24/7! like fareal talent like this only comes once in a decade! the music industry needs her!

  • @TheZoRetro That's the same way I feel! :D omg I'm not alone she really is amazing!

  • @TheZoRetro I think her look is what makes people sleep on her to be honest. Don't get me wrong, I love her. But the industry is used to pretty artists just being pretty - long straight or wavy hair, SKY HIGH heels, etc. Sex sells. So until you're getting everyone's dick hard, people sleep on you. Gaga said it best - "I finally just stood up and took my clothes off and everyone shut the hell up...and they listened"

  • @jazzycassadine I understand that but If anyone can make it with class and dignity it's gonna be janelle monae.

  • @TheZoRetro They won't play her cause she is too conscious and that is dangerous. The masses have to stay dumb deaf and blind.....

  • @wisdom1224 True.

  • @wisdom1224 You got it. If you want to be big you gotta be prepared to swallow endless amounts of Illuminati d!ck.

  • I dance to this song. It has an awesome beat! :)

  • This commentary on black poverty/violence is normally portrayed by rap artists very well. Janelle tells the same story using a Jazz background. This song is classic in the sense that you really cant tell in which decade this style of music came out of.....

  • i just love this song

  • @kendlepie same here

  • wow!!!

  • been a fan of hers since 06 when hardly no1 knew of her

  • she is a genius her and her entire team they are all genius the music they make is ridiculous and the live show they produce is amazing! #TeamMonae yall better stop sleeping on my girl!!

  • What's the song at the end of the video?

  • What's the song at the end of the video?

  • janelle is by far a true pioneer of musical composition! everything in every song of hers is under HER direction, not to mention she is also a orchestratic conductor!........everything about her is catchy! rite down to her choice in hairstyle which is called the (MONAE) that hairstyle alone is a signature of the working class era!................FOREVER JANELLE MONAE

  • The new Bond soundtrack is here.

  • Social commentary set to music. Unbelievably dope. Go Janelle Monae. So encouraging to hear an artist sing about something other than how many cars they have or their "bling"...of which nobody gives a crap about. She's singing about real life and the tragedy of it when it's focus is on the WRONG things. Bravo Janelle!!!

  • This song is perfect for a James Bond Movie ! Amazing song

  • She should do an opening song for a Bond film.

  • She is so awesome live.

  • I so wishh i could meet her !

  • she kinda sound lyk whitney housten

  • @SuperSpiderjam You type kinda lyk a retard, spider.

  • This sistah is on a whole different plane! She is a voice we need to heed.

  • I really enjoy her music !!!

  • She has the most amazing name and the most amazing voice

  • Best song she's made to date, in my opinion.

  • OMG..... JANELLE U R SO SPEAKN DAH TRUTH ON DIS SONG ........LUV UR STYLE MA KEEP IT REAL :)

  • not only is it full of real lyrics , but the instrumentation is perfect and dynamic.the way it should be.

  • Wonderful!

  • This is a nice song. She's better than most singers today. :)

  • gorgeous voice....beautiful face.... and a sexxy figure...the best artist around the world today.....pure perfection!!!!!!!!!

  • I remember when i sampled this. Still one of the hardest beats ive ever made

  • i love her ?

    i went to a camp and we used this song everyday for morning warmups

  • Her music is not played on the mainstream because she speaks the truth in almost all her songs!!!

  • @breezcules yep and people hate to hear the truth #sad

  • @breezcules Kmart commercial is Pretty mainstream. Now everyone is gonna complain she's selling out.

  • i like this one but Oh Maker has to be my fav. : )

  • This is real music!

  • I LOVE HER... SHES SOOO REAL... AND NOT A SALE OUT... LIKE OTHER FAME MONEY HUNGRY HOES.,... THAT SALE THERE SOULS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE WE REALLY LIVING, ARE WALKING DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @ShorthandOfEmotion Penguin of Awesomeness if right!

  • She is the truth!!!!!

  • @ShorthandOfEmotion Penguin of Awesomeness. LOL hahahaha that's a cool analogy for one of the best out there now, Janelle Monae's great.

  • this song is absolute perfection.

  • You are SO awesome!

  • She's going to be huge, and deservedly so.

  • 2 people are 'walking dead now'

  • do yall hear these lyrics!

  • idk why Gaga is so popular, when we have miss Janelle!

  • someone PLEASE PUT HER ON THE NEXT JAMES BOND SOUND TRACK!

  • she was the open act for bruno mars she was so awesome!

  • i like this. yes and this is a fresh sound. she needs more radio play.

  • i wish this song were longer

  • i can relate to this song

  • wow

  • @dance2damusic1 you should spend more time on youtube discovering legit music! :)

  • @meleebeats So, are you going to judge me too? I discovered her thanks to NPR's All Songs Considered, and I will forever love them for it. You're going all nose-in-the-air on dance2damusic, but I could do the same at you.

    I used to listen to the crappiest music there was, then decided to educate myself, and have been led to good music through the strangest things. As long as people can recognize good music when they hear it and make the effort to chase it down, you have no right to judge.

  • @j3558a if you've ever heard a bruno mars song then you know what I'm talking about.

  • @meleebeats I agree that his music is not the best. (But there is A LOT worse out there.)

    The way I see it, (sorry this analogy is religious, but it was the best comparison I could think of and some people treat music like a religion so it works) it's like if someone was once a 'sinner', but then 'repented' and are now 'righteous,' then what their life was before is not important.

    So think of it like Bruno Mars was their sin, but Janelle Monae is their repentance. I'm just glad they found her.

  • If you went to see Bruno Mars and discovered Janelle Monae, something is wrong with you.

  • @meleebeats then i guess theres something wrong with me.what matters is that i discovered her.

  • @meleebeats I apologize that I have better things to do than search for new music on youtube all day and had to rely on a concert to introduce me. -__-

  • @meleebeats This is how it's going to work now.people are gonna go to a concert,and they will like the opening act better than the featured artist!Acts like Bruno Mars,Kesha,and Katy Perry better be careful who they pick to go on tour with.

  • saw her sing this last night in Portland Oregon at the Rose Garden! She was amazing! :)

  • My new favourite song. And it's SO much better live! I'd never heard of her until the Bruno Mars concert last night. She's amazing.

  • @Ovatime she REALLY is! How often do you hear about her compared outkast, beyonce, lady gaga, bruno mars (<3 of my life) or any of these others mainstream artists?

  • i love u monae!

  • I agree that she should be commissioned to do the next Bond song.

  • 2 people suck.

  • wow. I love her! she is awesome!

  • 2:20 - WOW

  • She so underrated!!!!!!

  • @ShorthandOfEmotion penguin? lmao

  • Download!

  • This song sounds very Shirley Bassey-- I agree with @twippo. Janelle Monae SHOULD do the next James Bond song!

  • love this < 3 went to a bruno mars concert she did the openeing and now im buying her cd :)

  • I could see the setup for this song in a bond movie. Bond and a female villin are in the middle of a ballroom, durring a famous person's party. As they dance, they try concealed tactics to kill eachother, all while tryin not to draw attention to themselves. Sounds like somethin he'd do!

  • Comment removed

  • the two people who disliked this must have had a very, very bad day!

  • There's hope for popular music yet. Go Janelle go!!!!!

  • After the song, a beautiful guitar shows up for a few seconds. Does it come from some other song or something? BECAUSE I NEED TO LISTEN TO IT FOR A LONG TIME.

  • @xdddre hahaha reminds me of a begining of a cranberry's song.

  • @artisticagi any idea of which one...?

  • @xdddre for sure ridiculous thoughts, and kinda zombie

  • @xdddre I KNOW! THATS WHAT IM LOOKIN FOR!

  • So we're all in agreement: Janelle Monae should write the next 007 Theme :)

  • @ mbithiz Exactly the same thought occurred to me a while back. Janelle Monae would be an inspired choice for the next Bond theme. I have faith in Sam Mendes to make the right decision...

  • Based on this, I think Janelle Monae should be given the chance to write and perform the next Bond theme.

  • the ending sounds like something i can't put my finger on. i love this ..so much.

  • delicious

  • Oh, I love this song. The beat, her voice, the lyrics...just so, so good. She earned that Grammy twice over. Suck it, Beiber!

  • the true meaning of this is sooo deep. Yo, she put everyone on blast. I haven't been able to my fist down After hearing this song.

  • 2 people came back after there momma's said don't

  • YO she's a beast. All of her music is dope.

  • @DetectiveTuesday she is my role model.

  • @arielle90 Truly inspirational.

  • awesome beat..........and deep lyrics! :)

  • This song means the world to me

    No I'm not talking like its my favorite song but that it just hits home with me.

    My family is in a horrible situation and shit is going down and I just wish people would just wake up from their sweet dreams and realize what's happening. I wish the daydreamers would wake up or else I have no hope.

    Thanks Janelle you write real music and I wish more people could see your talent.

  • i wish it was on itunes....:(

  • @chazricardos15 This has been on iTunes I think since this album came out. Pay attention lol

  • @chazricardos15 Look up Metropolis: The Chase Suite

  • Why do talented singers like her note get noticed enough she is real she doesn't have her voice tampered with and she is classy and dresses sensibly a lot of singers these days depend on having there voices tampered with along with dressing in something revealing to take the thought off their tampered voices people should look up to Janelle Monae she's real and has worked hard to get where she is now she is passionate abt music she doesnt jst do it for the fame

    :D xxxx

  • deep lyrics.I like!

    

  • i just found this song by mistake and now im in love with janelle monae's music for life i can feel it wich makes me believe there was not mistake when i found this 

  • damn Monae is such a talented singer, why the hell doesn't the whole world see that?!?!?!

  • Janelle Monae should do the next James Bond song

  • @twippo

    Let the church say "Amen."

  • @twippo Absolutely!

  • This is the baddest song ever. Horns are so good, really completed the song :D

  • she is soooo under rated!!! I love her

  • she is soooo under rated!!!

  • This song made me fall in love with her music! "Daydreamers,please wake up. We can't sleep no more"

  • FUCKING YES!!!!!!!!!

  • awesome message
