Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Thinkin Bout You () Without a doubt, ‘Dear April’ is one of Frank’s most heart-wrenching love songs. The track focuses on the rare intensity of ‘two strangers’ connecting and making each other feel safe in the world, as well as expressing the pain of losing that connection. The song seems to desperately try to offer a positive spin on the sadness with lines line, ‘what we had won’t be the same now / but you will make something new / and it’ll take you through this.’ The sparse guitar instrumentals create space for the melancholic, almost despairingly sad lyrics and vocals. One of Frank Ocean’s saddest, starkest love songs is ‘Dear April.’ It also comes from his double A-side, Dear April / Cayendo. The lyrics, as well as the instrumentals, are straightforward and spare by Frank’s standards, expressing the simple sentiment ‘I still really, really love you, like I do.’įans have suggested that the song echoes the opening line of ‘Godspeed,’ closely matching the lyrics, which is carried by a similar melody. Released in lockdown, the track comes from Frank’s mournful, acoustic double A-side record, Dear April / Cayendo.
The melancholic ‘Cayendo’ (Spanish for ‘falling’) sees Frank Ocean singing in Spanish and English. The song is unusually structured with André 3000s rap seeing the track through to the end.
