Song of the Week

"Thinking About You" - Frank Ocean
No relation to Billy. Neither of their real last names is Ocean. I love this young cat though. I love falsetto, but sometimes it's too much, so I love the way he flips it back and forth. The video is a little weird. I'm just not into this whole zombie craze.

Did I just download a virus by watching that? I've never been more perplexed by anything in my life. Lyrics were odd and the video made it even harder to concentrate on the song. WTF.

Yes, the video is very weird. Don't even watch it, just listen to the song.

The lyrics are not odd, they are just very smart-alecky (blaming a tornado for his messy room). The thing that's unusual, which makes me like it, is the phrasing. The sentences don't always end with the rhyming couplet. Some lines start in the middle of the melody.

Yeah, video is just horrible, but the song is pretty good. He is like a combo of Musiq and Maxwell
