“Our daughters and our sons are just candles in the sun…”
Frank Ocean took to his Tumblr earlier this evening to drop a highly poetic short ballad entitled “Voodoo.” It’s not a tome on the African religion but a reflection on love being the main tool in recognizing the deceptions (voodoo) of the world. Ocean uses excellent imagery in describing the insatiable vigor of youthful sensuality (“He’s got the whole wide world in his pants…”) maturing into the lifelong commitment of marriage (“He wrapped the whole wide world in a wedding band…”). You’re left wanting more which is exactly the feeling Ocean wants heading into his spring debut.
FRANK OCEAN “VOODOO”
darker times
they’re telling boulder heavy lies
looks like all we’ve got is each other
the truth is obsolete
remember when all i had was my mother
she didn’t compromise
she could recognize
voodoo
our daughters and our sons
are just candles in the sun
voodoo
don’t let him see divide
don’t you let her see divide
voodoo
she’s got the whole wide world in her juicy fruit
he’s got the whole wide world in his pants
he wrapped the whole wide world in a wedding band
then put the whole wide world on her hands
she’s got the whole wide world in her hands
he’s got the whole wide world in his hands.
