I watch 'em all pass by the moon and stars
Let me hold him in my arms, forevermore
These cold nights, the park is ours
Standing by the side
Let you go on
To the sea, just for me
Don't ever leave me, my love
Keep holding on, let the modest go
As my mind goes to and fro
Waking up for one more show
We see him in the night
Tell him I'm not afraid of him
I'm not afraid of 'em, 'cause I won't know
[Produced by Childish Gambino & Ludwig Göransson]
About
During his quick Q&A with fans on RG following the leak of Because The Internet Gambino was asked what his favorite track off the new album was, which he responded with this track.
The record continues to explore the albums ephemeral themes of space, loneliness and death. Gambino nailed this down in just one take.
A teaser was released ahead of the album featuring a clip of the song found here:
The “confetti” like substance falling from the sky during the teaser represents the ashes from the urn, (if you don’t understand, check out the script).
It was also featured at the end of the Sweatpants video found here:
Many fans noticed in retrospect that the title of the song was a homonym with Earn, the protagonist of Glover’s hit show Atlanta, who Bino himself portrays.
This track was added as a separate video adjoined with “Sweatpants” and is played once the video reaches the 3:03 mark.
