honestly, emotionally i’m not ready for that. I didnt make it to the first renaissance tour cause of my health. but i need to see her live! it’s my bucket list dream. and to hear 16 carriages live?! insane!
That sound is the sound steel on steel makes from the Gandy Dancers....they were the Black folks who built the railroads...the cadence is also them singing....Country that Black folks made were about pain and struggles.
Beyonce seems to be at a point in her life where she wants to be vulnerable, really let us in... Lemonade 2.0! And what a way to do it!! This was beautiful song writing, what an artist! Those VOCALS!!
Kakhulu bhuti. More vulnerable- that’s the word. Plus she’s done it all in RnB & her mega shows, has her successful beautiful family, she’s got nothing more to prove or be careful of. Beautiful indeed!
The Incomparable Rhiannon Giddens was on the Banjo. Please DO react to this phenomenal womans work as she is also a phenomenal vocalist along with playing the banjo and viola. An educator on Country Music's Black History roots and jow the banjo was brought to The States by Enslaved Africans... tweaked slightly by the plantation owners.
The handmade gourd instruments that would become the modern banjo originated in West Africa. 2) Enslaved Africans carried the “banjar” and its music to North America by way of the Caribbean. HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Given the details in the rest of the song it’s def Abt that. Leaving at 15, the parents part ties back to the song ring off and seeing her mom go through it, having to secure financial security for her family bc her career was part of the reason her father was so irresponsible, the part about being overworked and underpaid refers back to DC and the comment prince made Abt how the label needs to give them a bigger share of their money, the lack of a childhood. It’s a little crazy when you think of how she never got to live a normal life as a kid. She was going back and forth between dance and singing lessons, practicing with her group, pageants, competitions, she’s never really gave way for anything other than her goal. Probably why she keeps her kids lives so private and safe.
She references her Creole background and 16 carriages could also refer to the horse driven carriage hearses used in New Orleans funeral processions - especially since she says ' carrying' away and its a painful reference.
I can imagine at 15 she had dreams other than being a star. Like love and maybe educational goals etc all that kinda died as she had to grow up in this industry early and fast
Please keep mental health at the front of everything you! Great to hear you have a support system! This song made me cry so much. The story telling, the message the voice. She’s done it again!! Beyoncé can’t ever be put in a box!
Beyoncé along with Destiny’s Child debuted when she was 16. At the point Matthew, her father, quit his job as a successful salesman in 95. So at 16 she became her family’s breadwinner!
I really appreciate you being here Jesse and this track seems the perfect song to help you reflect on that vortex you’re feeling. 🤗 No one can beat Beyoncé’s runs. I get what you were saying Jesse about the whip sounds, like a commanding hand on a horses bridal, cracking the whip to highlight her work ethic and definite sense of direction. Whippin’ off the dust of the road as she journeys onward. The fact the Bey has been on the road carving out a career since she way young, firstly with Girl’s Tyme, then being signed at 15 to Destiny’s Child with their first major release when she was just 16. Now she’s reflecting back and pointing out how she was overwhelmed and because they were women, how underpaid they were for the work they were putting in. Those 16 carriages or tour buses carrying away all the fear and making her determined to make it. Making her determined to be self sufficient so, unlike her mother having to deal with an unfaithful husband, she can always have the economic means to leave, or just get on her high-horse and survey the prairie. She’s been doing her thing all these years and now she’s appearing with the mirrored glass stetson, outfit and horse projecting a ‘Rhinestone cowboy’ vibe. However, instead of shinning outward like Rhinestone’s trying to impress with false shine, she reflecting inwardly, mirroring her inner feelings and letting us see a glimpse of emotion. She’s here to point out that Country has its roots in the blues and gospel and that the white country folk element came later. She’s subtly pointing out to the likes of Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey “Hey, we were here first!” And to the Grammy’s “I’m a coming for your country” (music that is 😉).
WOW! Volumes! Well Said! I love your assessment/analysis of this song. How Brilliant and Clever. You must be in my field of work, for I wholeheartedly concur. This is on its way to become a Masterpiece 🎉🎉🎉 EDIT... your references are on point too!
What an absolutely beautiful song & I loved your reaction-it's the best & most insightful one on CZcams! I got chills & cried when I first heard this song...she's so vulnerable. Thank you for your work! 🥰🥰
Thanks for this amazing reaction and for you. Started to follow you when I saw your jazmine sullivan reactions. Wishing you and your family well! Keep pushing! I’m from the UK so your impact is travelling across the waters❤
If anything this should tell you that she lives and breathes music, she'll never stop making it. Right after Homecoming she goes on tour and films Black is King at the same time, then records The Gift album in 2019, recorded three acts in 2020...she's probably preparing future work as we speak.
I hope I am wrong, but this feels like Beyonce´s Swan Song Era....the song sounds like she has accepted the end and is free. More time for herself, children, family.
Same. I think this three part project might be her last full musical project. In a way this is the best time for her to step back considering she is at the peek of her career.
Merci Thanksss You respect the song and didn't stop it for talking and you gate all it in you mind, you sou, your cells. Oui cette chanson est absolument magnifique d'harmonie, de lyrics and of the real storytelling. Sorry if you don't understand but, with heart and God soul, you will !!! Bisous
Listen Beyonce is an entertainer she does not have to take a backseat to anyone. So for anyone who disliked what she represent as a musician a singer should just shut the hell up and go back into your home and hide
Who is more country than Dolly Parton is Dolly Parton as far as I'm concerned it's okay all you haters get in the the backseat of something and shut the fuk up
Hoops…basketball. Spurs….San Antonio Spurs. Spurs also terminology used in directing…a horse, but used in the end, it connects with directing as in a video.
@@Mya_water so there’s an acoustic guitar pressed way up forward - it would be compressed really hard and thinned out a bit so you basically just hear the pitches, and the pick across the strings. There’s also a piano, organ, slide guitar and maybe a few other string instruments that do the shot together! As well as percussion - which if I were to guess would be some sort of hand drum or box instead of a typical kick drum. When it all drops out and goes back to Beys vocal I believe it’s an acoustic guitar playing along side her - but I also thought a banjo was an acoustic once so 😂😂
@@Mya_water but I think the bulk of it comes from a big strum across that acoustic guitar and not just being so pressed and in your face! Such a moment
Really didn’t mean anything by it - I’m assuming the sound was to drive an emotion or feeling and I felt they did a good job representing that, nothing else 🙏
As much as I love Beyoncé, I really don't find anything appealing about the songs they're at best mediocre.. she is such a great entertainer and artist.. it's OK to step outside the box. But in all honesty, would I buy it? No
Maybe someone should educate you on where country music originally came from if you don't believe that ask Grandpa Jones ask Bill Monroe you may also ask Hank Williams and stop being so ignorant about black people in country music read the history
I thought there were WAY too many unnecessary notes. It’s more for show than for telling a story. Country is about storytelling. Nobody cares about melisma. It would be a more effective song with stable notes.
@@realfan3565 I grew up listening to Country from a little boy. This isn’t Country. This is R&B with instruments. I’m a Country boy from Mississippi. I can guarantee you I am not alone. I can guarantee you 1,000,000 % this won’t be played on Country radio unless it is cleaned up. Curse words removed. Topics toned down. Stories cleaned up with more left to the imagination. Country people - we are very conservative.
@@breanahayes3030 an example would be a person singing Classical songs with Blues background music. It makes no genre sense. It is a travesty. If you are going to sing Country, sing Country. I can switch between genres without corrupting the other. I was trained in Classical but I still listen to. Country, R&B, Blues, Bluegrass.

This person lives a hiphop lifestyle. This isn’t Country. This is an invention of something…
she mentions 38 summers aka she's had this song since she was 38 and she's 42 now so she's been sitting on this for years. her long game is crazyyyy
She did say she made Renaissance during the pandemic which was four years ago.
Ms Tina said this song is one of her faves...I wish I was so good that I could sit on gems like this for years.
38 summers refers to her age when she wrote the song
Prince compared
Beyoncé’s voice to a guitar, and he was (obviously) so right!
Very evident when she goes back and forth with a guitar in the song “I care”
Only a master of music such as Prince could unknowingly stamp a patent on that statement!
@@evelove1505absolutely! I love when she does it live! She blends in and adds to guitar riffs so effortlessly
Love that!!
So Miss Princey!!!
He was A Pretty Man.
Some men are Handsome,but He Was Pretty to Me.!!!!!!

16 Carriages the live version…DANGEROUS
Yes!! 👑🐝
honestly, emotionally i’m not ready for that. I didnt make it to the first renaissance tour cause of my health. but i need to see her live! it’s my bucket list dream. and to hear 16 carriages live?! insane!
That little yodel flip on the word “early” just screams Dolly Parton. Also “I may cook, clean, but I still won’t fold” is a GREAT line.
That sound is the sound steel on steel makes from the Gandy Dancers....they were the Black folks who built the railroads...the cadence is also them singing....Country that Black folks made were about pain and struggles.
I LOVE HISTORICALLY EDUCATED PEOPLE
Im trying to search for the sound but cant really find one that resembles, do you know a video of that steel on steel sound?

Also, Great reaction.... 💥😎
Where can I learn more about country's black history?
PBS has a documentary by Ken Burns. Country Music.
It shows the original roots of country music and how it became the sounds of our American Country.
@@khismet I love Ken Burns and his work.
@@robinvolpi Yes, he's good. His Jazz documentary was exceptional!
The richness in her voice, Beyonce is spoiling us! Loved your reaction 🖤
Soooo rich! What a gift lol pumped for next month!!!
She's amazing no one and I mean no one can do all genres except for beyonce
The handmade gourd instruments that would become the modern banjo originated in West Africa. 2) Enslaved Africans carried the “banjar” and its music to North America by way of the Caribbean. HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH
16 carriages may be 16 tour buses? Maybe but she is so deep I’m sure it has so many different meanings depending on who is listening.

Beautifully said 😢
@@Habxxn04 to be fair her dad was working the way he was and doing the things he did (back then atleast) to ensure her dream came true.

I can see how hard you tried not to stop it and just let it ride! This song is so beautiful and uplifting. Respect!
It couldn’t have been the hardest thing I’ve done in a minute 😂😂 thanks for noticing!!! Hope you have a great day 💛💛
Please keep mental health at the front of everything you! Great to hear you have a support system! This song made me cry so much. The story telling, the message the voice. She’s done it again!! Beyoncé can’t ever be put in a box!
Beyoncé did everything including rap on this song. it is absolutely amazing she’s it. I stand her.
I hear a little Tracy Chapman. R&B, Pop, Country…What can’t she do? Trust me, we will “Remember her Legacy!”😮😢😮
The GOAT Queen is unparalleled! She can do no wrong at this time...the epitome of excellence. Loved, love these songs. Perfecto! Amen
Can’t wait for you to experience your first full beyonce era with us!
This song is powerful as fk! The lyrics just grab you! Is she saying after the trilogy is complete that she’s done?
Otherworldly so beautiful amazed by Beyoncé can’t wait for this album
Love the new country songs. And love that she's going back to her Texas roots. Cant wait for the album March 29th❤
She’s going deeper
Centuries old black created traditional roots of country ❤
Makes sense, since country music was created by Black people anyway and Came out of the pain of slavery.
Beyoncé along with Destiny’s Child debuted when she was 16. At the point Matthew, her father, quit his job as a successful salesman in 95. So at 16 she became her family’s breadwinner!
I really appreciate you being here Jesse and this track seems the perfect song to help you reflect on that vortex you’re feeling. 🤗 No one can beat Beyoncé’s runs. I get what you were saying Jesse about the whip sounds, like a commanding hand on a horses bridal, cracking the whip to highlight her work ethic and definite sense of direction. Whippin’ off the dust of the road as she journeys onward.

I think i love these 2 songs already, cant wait 4 album drop❤❤❤
What an absolutely beautiful song & I loved your reaction-it's the best & most insightful one on CZcams!
I got chills & cried when I first heard this song...she's so vulnerable.
Thank you for your work! 🥰🥰
Beyonce is doing her thing with this one.
Love the song!
Loving the vibe!!
Thanks for this amazing reaction and for you. Started to follow you when I saw your jazmine sullivan reactions. Wishing you and your family well! Keep pushing! I’m from the UK so your impact is travelling across the waters❤
Ahh I miss reacting to Jazz! I gotta look her up again. I appreciate the love and support - I feel it all the way out here in the prairies of Canada 💛
I loved Trixie Mattel’s Two Birds and One Stone albums so this record is gonna be right up my alley. I’m so excited to hear the rest!
…. “The legacy, you will remember me” that part… so BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Great reaction 🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love your Beyoncé reactions.🤗 Thanks for this video👏👏👏
It made me cry.
"Long back road (=county road), all the tears I fight".
16 Carriages. Something is going home 🕊️ 🕊️ and it sounds like she’s ready and understands why it that way 🪦
I feel like Bey is gonna retire after Act 3. 😭
I just hope we get a DC5 reunion before she retires. 😭😭😭
Yep! Me too! And I ain't mad at her for it. It will be much deserved.
I’m hoping Act 3 is just her last SOLO then we get original DC + Michelle one more time and then she can rest for a while ( a while 😏)
If anything this should tell you that she lives and breathes music, she'll never stop making it. Right after Homecoming she goes on tour and films Black is King at the same time, then records The Gift album in 2019, recorded three acts in 2020...she's probably preparing future work as we speak.
First time viewer, love your breakdown.
Ehhh I appreciate this 🙏🙏
❤ Deep and Beautiful I hear a Prince "Purple Rain" guitar solo in the beginning 💜 Love your reaction and breakdown new sub 10/10
Welcome!!! I love that - Prince was such an icon and I could totally see her pulling some inspiration from a great 🙏 wouldn’t be the first!
Love her rich tone and beautiful message

Love your musical intelligence to break it down.
LOVE your reaction for both videos. Thank you.😊❤
Beautiful!❤
Great reaction. You got a new sub. This song is absolutely amazing. Out of this world. It makes me emotional. ❤

That whip cracking takes me back to Run the World with the two animals she has on a leash.
Listen Beyonce is an entertainer she does not have to take a backseat to anyone. So for anyone who disliked what she represent as a musician a singer should just shut the hell up and go back into your home and hide
Who is more country than Dolly Parton is Dolly Parton as far as I'm concerned it's okay all you haters get in the the backseat of something and shut the fuk up
Dolly Parton 💓 it and she also loves Beyonce
Please react to Texas Hold Em as well. Phenomenal vocals
New banjo Queen 🎉
The banjo is real country and bluegrass music without that it's like eating food with no taste
Lobed your reaction, just look at your face! Full enjoyment
Loved this reaction!

Whip cracking sound is what’s going on in the chorus when the song goes to the 16 Carriages part
Loved your reaction, do yourself a favour and get into this womans work.
I'm 98% that alternating percussion crack are paper fans. A call back to Act 1/Heated
Love the reaction 🇧🇷🇧🇷 ❤👑🐝 𐚁

Can you explain what that loud strum is?
What’s the time stamp?
@@Beldvlmnt at 1:54 I think it’s a guitar strum. It’s so beautifully intense.

Lol.. shut up. You know he didn't mean it like that.

As much as I love Beyoncé, I really don't find anything appealing about the songs they're at best mediocre.. she is such a great entertainer and artist.. it's OK to step outside the box. But in all honesty, would I buy it? No
The things it doesn't mean nothing because she didn’t write and it sounds like a sample from r kelly and other yawl must get paid to hype up shit 😒
It's not country music.
Are you an authority on country music if it's not country music what is it
Maybe someone should educate you on where country music originally came from if you don't believe that ask Grandpa Jones ask Bill Monroe you may also ask Hank Williams and stop being so ignorant about black people in country music read the history
