Never heard a song start out mellow, add a choir, switch the style and tempo 10 different times, take a brief pause, comes back on, and still ends up being on point to the fullest.

Sometimes I lose faith. Donald mentioned in an interview that this song was for those going through tough times. I can't say how much I appreciate this. From the depths of my body, thank you.

This album is like a funk opera

It must be an honour to be the child this album was made for

Donald is talented as hell.. Singer, comedian, writer, actor, dancer, rapper what can't this guy do? Edit: It’s 2022, totally forgot about this comment..Donald/Childish Gambino is still amazing.

It's not the Gambino we expected but it's the Gambino we needed

Anyone else notice how he alluded to his three biggest albums 3:32 - CAMP - Synth leads and gospel choir. 4:15 - Because The Internet - Spacey tech influenced electronica with a dark feeling. 4:42 - Kauai - His own singing, natural instrumentation guitar, clapping, and bongos.

Cool fact: Gambino collaborated with producer Ludwig Goransson to make this album, the same person who produced the Black Panther soundtrack.

The craziest thought ... what will these music videos look like?

i love how all of his fans are chill and dont bash him for making something other than rap 👌

This dude found his own lane and it worked. good for him

This song solidified Childish Gambino as being one of the greatest artists imo

Anybody saying this album was trash can send me your address so you can catch these hands ASAP

man im happy this comment section isn't cancer. Every other person I know who loves Gambino hates this new album. Honestly this album is so like romantic and lush in its own right like fuck man.

3:32 Still get chills when that synth drops.

idk why but im crying

I like how Glover did different voices but i wish he sang using his normal voice like this on a couple more tracks.

This isn't childish gambino this is donald glover and I mean that in a good way

i sat in the garden and listened to this whole album and now i don’t want to kill myself 🥰

Smile when you can .

this song is the best song in the album. i really enjoy this song, it gets me in the feels when you listen to the lyrics and block everything out while listening to this song.

When the sun is rising over streets so barren Since the evening, colors flash before my eyes I feel like a child, so young and new in '92, I listen To what my father said Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong you cannot fall There is a voice inside us all So smile when you can When you can How this used to feel so far and free Now these broken souls are all I see Fists have fallen to our side We may cry alone, I feel we know where all of this is headed But my mama said Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall (oh I, nah, nah, nah) If you are strong you cannot fall (if you are strong) There is a voice inside us all So smile when you can When you can If you cannot, oh! There is more to you and me There is more than they can see I'm on your side Woo, oh! There is more out there And somebody cares 'bout you I do Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong you cannot fall Keep on your dreams, keep on standing tall If you are strong you cannot fall Keep on your dreams, keep on standing tall If you are strong you cannot fall Keep on your dreams, keep on standing tall If you are strong you cannot fall There is more out there Keep on your dreams, keep on standing tall If you are strong you cannot fall Give me morning When you're gone to yourself Woo! Yeah! (Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall) If you are strong you cannot fall) (Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall) (If you are strong you cannot fall) Thanks for doing that (Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall) (If you are strong you cannot fall)

In this year of such profound loss in the music world, this album is comforting to me. Like a cup of genius being refilled.

I'm 52 and have heard a lot of great music in my time, and I have to say this is some good stuff!

Donald is a Renaissance man.

I'm really impressed with this entire album! Donald is such a talented guy, I hope he continues to do make great stuff.

Whenever that synth kicks in at 3:32 I have an out of body experience and cry astral tears of energy

Dude never having a bad day again. Just throwing this on everytime.

Getting blessed with a lot of real music .. Bino, Cudi and Cole 🙏🏽

Man, Bino is back and better than ever 💙 props to you dude

4:50 absolute chills. the way his voice is so on point and it brings in the drums so well

Verse 1] When the sun is rising over streets so barren Since the evening, colors flash before my eyes I feel like a child, so young and new in '92 I listened to what my father said [Chorus] Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong, you cannot fall There is a voice inside us all So smile when you can, when you can [Verse 2] How this used to feel so far and free Now these broken souls are all I see Fists have fallen to our side We may cry alone, I feel we know where all of this is headed But my mama said [Chorus] Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall Oh I, nah, nah, nah If you are strong, you cannot fall If you are strong, oh no There is a voice inside us all So smile when you can, when you can [Verse 3] If you cannot, oh! There is more to you and me There is more than they can see I'm on your side, woo, oh There is more out there And somebody cares 'bout you I do [Interlude] Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong, you cannot fall Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong, you cannot fall Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong, you cannot fall Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong, you cannot fall There is more out there Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong, you cannot fall [Outro] Oh! Give me a moment, oh, oh, oh When they're gone, keep to yourself Oh, oh, woo, oh, ooh, yeah! Keep all your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong, you cannot fall Oh! Oh! Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong, you cannot fall (Thanks for doing that, thank you) Oh! Oh! (Keep on your dreams, keep standing tall If you are strong, you cannot fall) Ooh! Oh!

i feel like prince would love this album lol I say that cuz Donald expresses his feelings thru music very well😌

The part when the flute comes in at 2:18 is really pretty

Literally haven't stop listening to this I'm glad Gambino is exposing his fans to this P Funk/Soul era Boosty Collins, Parliament, Funkadelic, Ohio players, Sly & The Family Stone & a little Marvin.

Nowadays, Childish Gambino and Frank Ocean are two of the greatest artist on the planet. I'm so happy to belong to this generation.

Quite the eclectic album. Sounded like 1960s Motown ballads, 1970s funk and gospel fused with hip-hop. Kid's a genius.

ALBUM OF THE FUCKING YEAR

Not gonna lie. I cried the first time I heard this

I just wanna say thank you to all of Gambino's influences

OR MAYBE HE'S NOT IN IT FOR THE MONEY. BUT THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PRODUCING MUSIC

One of the most important things about this album is adaptability. If you came to this because you are a fan of his rap, this isn't for you. It's not your genre. You must adapt to different sounds. This is really good for it's genre, but if you don't listen to music like this, this album won't sound that good to you. I like it, although I personally like his rapping more. I love his style of singing and I wish more of the Me And Your Mama voice shone through. Additionally, I wish he used his real voice more like he did here, where I can hear him clear. I'm sure Genius is hard at work decoding every last lyric of this project, and I can't wait to find out more. I would love an album from him where he mixes hip hop into this style he has now, but that's just a dream. His last album had a great story to it, and I would love that as well. I'm not a critic and can't really judge something like this, but I'd I had to give it a number score, 8.5/10. Hopefully, this isn't Gambino's last project. Until something new happens, I'm gonna continue watching Atlanta.

Idc what anyone says about this album. This is gold and 10 years from now, everyone and I mean everyone will agree w me

This man used every instrument available in the studio. love it

I wanna hear more music like this.

people should know that donald isnt JUST a rapper, he's also a singer w a great voice. let him do his thing, he's growing.

That heavy Marvin Gaye vibe at the end though. Too fire

DOPE! if you close your eyes and listen you can see colors or maybe I'm just high lol..

hes a real one for putting the whole album on youtube!

When the saxophone sexily sneaks into the song. WOW!

This album is an embodiment of artistic growth. This is what he's digging. For him to have this opportunity to share it with us is absolutely amazing. This album is gold, most of y'all are displeased bc it ain't rap.

Holy shit bruh I didn't know Donald Glover made a guest appearance in this song

STAND TALL LITTLE ONE *wipes a tear away*

Man what can I say. This Album brought me happiness to listen to. This track almost brought me to tears.

I think this one of the best albums of our time and will be forever

the last 30 seconds....

Gambino is a mastermind

What's interesting about this song's ending is at Pharos, it never went back to instruments and Gambino singing like it does here, with that groovy, warm feel. It continues the spooky space sound (without flutes this time) with cool effects and it gets even crazier and louder, ending on a trippy warping sound and fading.

I hope he makes another album like this one

STAND TALL has become my personal Anthem. It takes you on an Epic Journey of Hope-- and the Power of the Human Spirit. STAND TALL has saved me from suicide Twice. THANK YOU CHILDISH GAMBINO!!! I Love you.

This album came out right on time I REALLY needed this song

Gotta give him some credit for switching things up coming out fresh. This is definately my favorite song on the album and one I'll remember the most.

The album is so weird that you just want more. The music is just making me a better person.

this album is pure gold to my soul . lord thank you for this strong black man

This kinda reminds me of The Love Below when André really expressed himself. It's refreshing to know Gambino is making music straight from the soul.

this is the kind of singing I hoped for in most of the album

This guy can rap and sing better than most people out there. Good shit Gambino

4 years later and this album is still Childish Gambino's best album!

A collab between Frank and Bino would be perfect tbh

he brought back old franks music😌👌

This hurts my feelings, I don't know why

2:23 the fucking flute is so good 😩

this is giving me straight up frank ocean vibes and i am so happy about it.

the album is just a trance journey of a nights sleep. You start to fall into the trance at the beginning of the album and the dream starts and gets progressively more trance like as the album continues reaching a trance peak at California from which point it goes on lessening in its trance like quality in an elucidatory manner and then stand tall cuts off randomly like waking up at the end of the dream

i miss Gambino’s music, but i’m glad he left us these albums. he grew up and expressed different points in his life with his albums. he’ll always be my favorite artist. these songs are gonna be so fucking nostalgic. this is music i want my children to listen to.

4:15 His bringing together of two completely different musical devices juxtapose for emphasis on the idea he is trying to get across. The electronic sound with the flute thing sound like the togetherness of nature and technology, but in the past, maybe? "There is more out there." This line needs more attention.

This song hits me in the feels. There is something about that voice and the music. It's so relaxing, I can just fall asleep that bass guitar.

4:15 Like you've entered heaven...

This deserves MUCH appraise and recognition. If not the technological age, but the 70's or 80's, it would've gotten it.

I love how Childish Gambino and J. Cole dropped some oxygen last night/today and for 2 to 8 minutes per song we all(most of us) can forget about racism, the 2016 election, etc for a moment. Nothing exist but some hungry souls and minds. That's mindfulness and meditation at it's best. There can be so much beauty in the present moment. Now, that's love and that's peace. Peace, yall!

Has me thinking about Earth, Wind, and Fire

This is a bohemian rhapsody of this decade. Perfection.

I had my eyes closed while laying down and at 3:52 I thought my bed started falling.

This is definitely making other genres accessible to hip hop heads. If you delve into other genres, when your passed the aux chord, you will soon find out how stubborn and closed minded hip hop heads can be towards anything that ain't popular hip hop. But, happy ending: Your Gambino loving friends here his new album and suddenly start to explore a little. Also, not hating, I listen to a lot of hip hop myself, I just don't like the "if it ain't a new rap track, it's whack" mentality.

Great year for R&B/hip hop, frank ocean album, bino, A tribe called quest with their fire album. Loving every moment of this

"There is more to you and me.There is more than they can see. I'm by your side. There is more out there, and somebody cares about you...I do." That part alone, excuse me...that moment/experience alone made the album for me.

Marvin and Curtis Mayfield are are looking down smiling proud right now,

So glad he clearly sings in this song. He's got such an amazing voice. I wish he'd have used it more this album.❤

This song brought me to tears. Of happiness. I feel so lucky and grateful for having been able to listen to this and to have known and listened to Donald for 3years now. It reminded me of all the great things I had forgotten about myself recently and that can take me to unimaginable places

4:41 is the reason i wake up every morning

4:50 sounds so beautiful especially with the beat coming in like that

I really like how Glover sounds in this song. I really wish this is what he would've sounded through the whole thing. Well either this it how he sounds during me and your mama.

Take my breath away Donald... Yes please.

This album made me feel a feeling I didn’t even know I could feel

i feel alot of people fail to see is hes proving he can literally do anything! he produces music and tv. he acts. hes a comedian. he raps. he sings. he can walk into a new genre and excel amazingly.

Finally a song on the album where Gambino sounds normal and sings a lot

2:23 is it me or does this instrumental solo puts you in a deep place..

I had Redbone on repeat but little did i know this whole track was fire

*smiles for 6 minutes
