2024 anyone?
Yes
What's up??
Here I am
Yup
Yesss😊😊
You know what's amazing.....being alive while chance is
Chance the Best I know right
Amen
Lol 4 chance icons. Well done boys
And hoping one day you will be able to be in his presence.
Chance is the best thing happening in music right now.
Found this song yesterday. My wife’s water broke at 4 pm. We listened to it during labour. All three of us listened to it together once he was born. Then when I came home the clip pretty much sums how I wish I could dance right now. Been watching it non stop. Thanks for making it.
Congratulations 💖💖💖 God bless you and your family
CONGRATS... The complexity of Love is Huge but Love is Bigger than the complexity and No better affirmation than a child who will only benefit from this clarity ..
Congrats bro I hope this remain y’all song forever
Wow- what an amazing time to be in - listening to a euphorically tuned song and the feeling of everything being in slow motion. You and your wife smiling and crying and your baby in your arms, while you fall in love with your newborn. Congratulations Joshua. I wish you nothing but the best for your family and yourself. Bless!! 💐
What did it feel like to look at your child when they were just born?
Dancing to this at my wedding on Saturday!!! ❤️
Succesful wedding? I hope you enjoyed your wedding
Congrats 🎉🍾
Rozanna Barqawi congrats, wishing the wedding went great
Damn that is really the dream you lived
He’ll yah
This the purest song I have listened to in a while.
listen more chance every song from him is pure ^^
Yela Wolf depending on your interpretation of your pure
totally pure
Dee Sullivan k milo. JustMy
I b
Sounds like Peter Gabriel
"1, 2, 1, 2 always on beat. You must have been born with two right feet"
I love that part so much
Kaylee Hernandez me too bro
Kaylee Hernandez he was talking about his daughter
Nebula I know lol
Nkosinathi Mngomezulu When you say a person has "two left feet" you are calling someone a bad dancer so in this line Chance is saying "1, 2, 1, 2" signifying the step timing you use while dancing "always on beat" and then "you must have been born with two right feet" meaning his daughter is a natural born good dancer who has good rhythm.
Owh thanks for that!!
I'm embarrassed to say that I just found this song today...I'm equally embarrassed about how many times I've played it on repeat. 💙💙💙
Music is timeless. You are not late. You just found it at the right moment. Enjoy 😉
Don't be, every and each one has an excuse for tonight.
I kinda wish I can find this song for the first time again
Glad you found it now rather than never though, I remember when this song first came out, 😅
Be embarrassed about none of that
"You got your mother's eyes"
It touched something, I have no idea why I'm crying
you know the feeling you get in your chest when your crush likes you back??? thats how i feel right now watching this
Marvin Sabillon Ohhhh brought back sum memories bruhh.
Holy shit this is the perfect description of how I'm feeling after this.
Marvin Sabillon My crush has a bf but she broke up with him so she can have me as a fuck buddy 😈
Marvin Sabillon
Nobody likes me back so I dont know how it feels
I know what you mean... I'm graduating highschool soon and it makes me nervous for the ceremony because its a whole new chapter of life after that night
Never a bad chance feature
chance the rapper and bad can't be in the same sentence unless in the meaning of bad when you're on a plane and you're like: 'first class, yo this is bad'
Greg Nuttall nobody ever says that on a plane
huncho huncho I was on a plane in first class and some guy a few seats behind me said 'first class, yo this is bad' so i can't say i agree with you.
Eric Cartman yeah, i'm sure that happened
huncho huncho Would i lie to someone on the internet man?
I'm so sorry that I just learned today that this masterpiece existed.
What? You are not forgiven😢😊
There is alot you havent discovered my friend, i wish i was you. hearing this for the first time must be a bliss.
Is never too late, my friend.
me too !!!!
Unforgivable
It’s 2023 and this songs still hits more than ever
Real 🥹
It just popped into my head after about 4-5 years, getting loads of nostalgia listening to it again
When these two artists work together, they can do no wrong.
True
Nick Janaskie Facts.
Update: The Big Day was ass 😂😂😂😂
Nigga got divorced 😂😂
Chance the Dancer
Dance the Rapper
Rumble105 you can find the song without him in it. This is a remix
Alex Eastland I’m wheezing dance the rapper 😂💀💀
I feel so sorry for people who don’t know this song
Same
6 years ago, I heard this song for the first time and I told myself that, I'm gonna play it on my wedding day. As I wait for my big day, I'll keep coming here to enjoy this masterpiece.
This song just feels like pure magic
"Give me one more Chance..." ahhhh I gotchu
Sorry, there can never be another Chance.
Sorry, there can never be another Chance.
Jacob Richards It's a play on words you fool
Jacob Richards chance the rapper has a brother who also raps and sings....
Check out broad shoulders by Taylor bennet ft chance the rapper.
J F cheers for the song recommendation mate it's class
This song feels like the "In Your Eyes" of the new generation. Love the Peter Gabriel overtones and sound.
Yeah !!!
BIG SHADES of Peter Gabriel. Love this song.
YES. Feels so so much like that.
And Phil Collins, like a cross between the two.
I caught that too. And the opening kinda sounds like "Lady In Red" while other parts remind me of some "All Night Long" Caribbean type worldbeat
How am I only discovering this song today? It's perfect, I am busy on my dissertation and I can't help but think I need to listen to more songs like this one
if you in zambia we need to get married to this banger 😂
I'm only discovering it today
czcams.com/video/UfQHEpf2q8k/video.html try this track
Childish gambino, covering I’m so into you by Tamiya
Hit me up if you're around Durban I got something for you
Chance always kills it, shoutout Francis though. Getting a strong Phil Collins type of vibe
Mr. Master more like a Peter Gabriel type of vibe, listen to Peter Gabriel's "the veil" then listen to this beautiful piece again
I feel more of a Peter Gabriel vibe.
Yeeesss, I feel more of Genesis
I get that vibe as well as Peter Gabriel. This does remind me more of "In Your Eyes".
I thought it was Phil collins until I read your comment
"I love you more than your mother" is such a dangerous lyric.
Tanner Dionne Glad i’m not the only one that thought this
he's talking about his daughter
Gomotso Mphatswe I didn’t know that
Gomotso Mphatswe I don’t think that is true, how do know that?
@@matthewpepper9164 atwoodmagazine.com/may-have-dance-francis-lights-chance/
[...]Chance continues these lines again, only adding to the tension that is building behind him as he raps straight to his daughter - straight to the listener. [...]
August 2021 and still cherishing this master piece.
Wholesome masterpiece 🔥
It's just so lovely, and it sits with a few other songs i adore and only ever crave when im happy.
same
Doesnt seem that old still. Great song
indeed, very good tune. very Peter Gabriel-esque and I also find it quite moving, for some reason.
I'm upset at this song only because I didn't know it existed till 3 days ago. Now I can't stop listening to it and I want to dance with my Girlfriend and let her know how much I love her :D
That's great man 👍🙏
Wish that was my bf... ur gurl lucky 🤗
That is the cutest thing ever! I love love
Imagining finding out about an hour ago...like me lol
How is every new song I hear from Chance or with Chance better then the one before. Im shooketh!!!!!!!
oneandonlysamu shooketh
oneandonlysamu this and Show Me Love are everything!
i guess its a good thing that "im the one" isn't FROM chance its WITH chance. sounds like you need to be a little more risky with your CHANCES.
what the fuck is shooketh?
same i totally agree.
Chances dress sense is phenomenal
Graphicci simple but nice
Graphicci he reminds me of Napoleon dynamite
yesss, that hat is brilliant
‘I love you more than I love your mother. More than you love yourself’ - is exactly how much dad loved me
I really like that it says "both hands" because I read that receiving a gift with both hands is a gesture indicating you are fully present in that moment and giving your full attention and this song is sooooo like that 💚
I love how versatile Chance and Francis are together
in need of an hour version of this song
Aw I remember being up at 3 am years ago wrapped in my blankets in the dark, when I heard this song for the 1st time. 🎶 It was so emotive, I just cried & was imagining the day when I met the man who would make me feel all these things. 🥲🥰 I didn’t really think it was possible to meet someone checked all my boxes.
Happy to say I met him & he’s greater than I could ever imagine and every time I hear this song I think about him. 🥰💖 also, the dancing 😍🔥🎶 let me spin & excite you.
Omg so happy for you. I hope I find him one day
i just love when i get to listen to a song for the first time and wonder how i've gone so long without carrying it with me through life, nothing like it :,)
It's like phil collins and all of his amazing tarzan songs got reincarnated for 3 minutes and then chance comes in and just makes it even more amazing. Why am i just now finding out about Francis and the lights?!
Chris Davis same I saw this video then looked up all his music 👌
Yeahhh
He helped write/contribute to all this too (thanks to Wikipedia):
*"Karaoke" (Drake, Thank Me Later) (2010)
*"Something Better" (Lyrics Born, As U Were) (2010)
*"Celebration" (Das Racist, Relax) (2011)
*"I'll Never Forget You" (Birdy, Birdy) (2011)
*"Wonderful Everyday: Arthur" (Chance the Rapper with The Social Experiment) (2014)
Surf (Nico Segal & The Social Experiment) (2015)

*"Wild Love" (Cashmere Cat featuring The Weeknd, 9) (2016)

In general his music has hints of Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Prince, Sade, Mike & The Mechanics all thrown together in the 21st century.
Check out friends ft. Bon Iver and Kanye
bman12688 Dude Wonderful Everyday is one of my favorite Chance songs; didn't know he helped write it.
honestly such genius this genuinely took my breath away
There's something special about the message in the song. I've gotten the sense that it's about two people, probably very young, who have been through a lot of individual hardship and they are trying to come together and be a couple despite all the things that make each other complicated. There may even be some shared pain between them, since one speaker is asking for forgiveness and to dance again. It underscores how hard relationships are, because two very different and complex people are trying to share their lives together while being weighed down by the problems their own genetic histories and families give them, the hardships and pressures put on them by the universe/world around them, and the issues that can arise by trying to bind two souls together. But they are trying their best to make it work, because the love feels real. There is something very inspiring about that.
Dancing with my daughter to this song on her wedding day. Can’t wait.🖤
Awww 😊 Congratulations for your daughter, may her marriage be full of passion, joy, and laughter.
I love that most of this is Chance basically "practicing " for his dance with Francis then during his verse he does his chance thing and was ready to kill it with Starlite
Yes
Really reminds me of Phil Collins, so much so that I thought that it was a sample.
I truly don't understand that this isn't Phil Collins.
bruh he's spot on sounds like Phil so much I searched my ass thinking it was a sample too, lmaoooo
This is definitely Genesis-inspired... I think he sounds more like Peter Gabriel
Feels a bit like Colin Hays too.
listen....I was blown to Mars when I looked and was like wait....not phil???? so pleasantly loving this sweet tune
I'm definitely playing this on my wedding day.. first dance with my future husband 😊😊😍
yeah this song gave me wedding vibes too ! :)))
Yeah it's will be a great dance my future wife
Wow ❤❤❤💯
I’m dancing to this song at my wedding!!!! I mean..I’m 17, but It’s good to plan ahead right? 🤷🏽♀️😂
😂😂😂😂 yeah it is hun
You 18 now? Just trying to figure out something ❤️😍
You should be 18 by now right. How you doing girl 😏
Right!😂
sheesh and i thought i was the only one who stalked
In the ground we've buried, the seeds of our pear tree.
All the things we've carried, now we're down to our bare feet.
May I have this dance?
Can I say something crazy? I love you.
Give me both your hands, let me stay and excite you.
We're about to inherit the sins of our parents.
And all the people we've passed through, now we're down to the last two.
May I have this dance?
Can I say something crazy? I love you.
Give me both your hands, let me stay and excite you.
You've got your.. Your mother's eyes.
You've got your grandmother's ring.
You've got your daddy's discernment.
Girl, you've did your thing.
Oh. Give me one more.
One two one two always on beat, you must've been born with two right feet.
I know you been looking for something concrete, you must've been born with two right feet.
Said one two one two always on beat, I know you been looking for something concrete.
you must've been born with two right feet, you must've been born with two right feet.
Said I love you more than your mother, more than you love yourself.
May I have this dance?
Can I say something crazy? I love you.
Give me one more chance, give me one more chance, give me one more.
Let me stay and excite you.
Can I say something crazy? I love you.
Give me one more chance, give me one more chance, give me one more.
Let me stay and excite you.
RawLike RollingPapers I'm pretty sure it's stand beside you, not stay and excite you
You're right. Thanks for pointing that out.
RawLike RollingPapers I think it's spin and excite u because he does a spinning motion with his hand
I think it might be "let me sway here beside you" or "stay here beside you".
Crazy to see how far Chance has come, he went from 14,400 minutes and being suspended, to being addicted to acid and xanax, to being the greatest father ever and making gospel music and to making music like this. He's come such a far way, can't wait to see what's next.
greatest father what?
c a m d o l e t h d o l I'm aware but the tag of greatest father ever, is what I was curious about
@c a m d o l e t h d o l, it's Kensley, but close enough I guess lol
He featured in the song, it’s not his...
Francis and the Lights make great music.
Such a beautiful song
wtf why am i crying
Because you are a daughter and maybe have a daughter. And you were made to receive love and give love.
PL Falconero holy shit...
PL Falconero 💜
Philia Eta I was too this song is so touching ❤
Holy shit... me too!
Francis this is absolutely amazing, I'm so glad to see a music video for this song.
This song is a master piece . It's makes me so happy I'm living In a whole other planet playing this video. I swear music is my therapy
Yesssss!!❣️
So I have found My wedding song... now to find my husband 👀
My thoughts exactly lmao
You'll find one
👁👄👁 same sis
Hopefully he ain' far
I'm here lol
Look, it's Dance The Rapper
canonogic Chance the Dancer*
Dance the dancer
Your smile betrays you Francis, much love
Major Phil Collins or even Peter Gabriel vibes from this song I love it
Such a modern Phil Collins vibe you have...would love to collab as a first ever song... have so much to give and say on a track like this....much love and respect for your work ❤️✌️😁
Phil Collins, I can see that. My first thought was Peter Gabriel.
Peter Gabriel
@@jacobslagel8108 Peter Gabriel is like Luigi to Phil's Mario... A bit less famous but much taller and wayyyyyyy cooler.
What a brilliant comparision! Phil Collins....or Peter Gabriel
Ok not gonna lie had to search Peter Gabriel as don't know who he is 😅don't judge me lol ...but now I see it....however I'd say Peters vibe all over music style etc but the voice is more Phil Collins sounding I'd say
This sounds like a childhood memory
Dante McCormick I’ve been struggling to find the words to describe this song.This was perfect 👌🏾
I wish Francis and Chance would put out an entire album together.
Elgin Coates that was basically coloring book
This
Someday, my lifelong partner and I will listen to this song, and dance together, fully enthralled by each other and entirely grateful to have each other as partners.
Me too 🙏🏼
Me too💎❤
me threeee
This is the gorgeousness of the human soul right here. This man is a genius. How did it take me so long to discover his music, his movement?
This song reminds me of the Tarzan animated movie... idek why
Victory Obot Because his voice sounds like Phill Collins, who had multiple songs in the film. :)
explains it, because everytime I listen to this, my mind just goes to Tarzan and Jane just swinging through trees
Victory Obot let me swing and excite you!
YESSSSS
Victory Obot I guess his voice does sound a tiny bit like Phil Collins 😄 and the drum beat yeah I get it lol
2:07 The fact that Chance is dancing like some 6 year old dancing in the rain gives me so much satisfaction... i love this video!
Anyone in 2024❤❤❤
This song is much more than a song
I oddly feel like crying... but not in a negative way. It just speaks to me. Wonderful song!
SAME! It's just so wholesome and peaceful and emoshhh in a kind of way. Like you've finally settled with the love of your life after going through trials and tribulations together
i feel u
same
bro facts, same
This song is very strong indeed. Hope all is well! I thought i'd comment to bring you back to this song enjoy!
Been With you since The Top. Finally people are seeing how badass Francis Farewell Starlite(Abraham) is.
I feel like they don't really know how iconic this was
Where has this song been my whole life?? 😍 flawless.
absolutely no shame in replaying this song 10 times and having your friends nearly murder you for the aux cord
Yes.
Mike 😂😂😂 same lol
Mike aux cord?, does your phone not have Bluetooth you fucking philistine, fuck! It's the 2017 moron.
My sentiments exactly..😂
who was here for chance but got more than they expected?✋
SuicideTrippy 🙋🏾
SuicideTrippy 🙋🏼♂️
I dont know who this other guys is but he is a really good singer
SuicideTrippy dude preach
SuicideTrippy not me, I was here for Francis and the Lights, but it was pretty dark, but at least Chance was a pleasant surprise.
Danced to this track for our wedding - took five weeks to learn a choreographed number by a local dance studio. And now it’s our 5 year anniversary.
The song will forever be a metaphor for her.
Nice work, YT algorithm! 😂
Anybody else getting strong Peter Gabriel vibes from this? Not sure why I hadn't learned about Francis and the Lights until yesterday, but I can't stop listening. Such a unique, musical sound, it's amazing
I thought the same thing first time I heard it
Perfectly explained
Yes! I heard Peter Gabriel (In Your Eyes) vibes also! Beautiful song!!! ❤
Hey Chance and Francis... Can I say something crazy? I love you.. :3 beautiful music.
L for using ":3" in 2017
Filip Stojanovski if you wanna play like that, L for judging in 2017...
L for being so soft
if this does not win video of the year on some of the awards... then there is no such thing as justice in this world
no viedeo/song this good wins anything except for a spot in our hearts. I am honestly mad thati just just found it... but thats a true gem. burried withing the dirt of the ground everyone is forced to step on. sometimes you gotta dig. i hope you haven't stopped listening/watching, this is forever music.
Chances voice puts a smile on my face.
Dazzle us!
Amazing video ain't it? Love that it's one shot and just focused on simple, yet compelling choreography. And with having such a recogniseable "character" such as Chance without showing too much of his face is true genius. As a social media addicted humans, we've become so accustomed seeing filtered celeb like "faces". This proves that it's what you don't see, that is most compelling.
*🔥If Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins vocal cords could do the dirty they would have given birth to this guy!🔥*
Yes I agree!
Yes! The minute I heard the vocals I instantly thought - peter Gabriel
armyofava7 So do I!! I've been looking for it since the first time I listen the song, in the thought that it was new music from Peter Gabriel.
I just saw him live this past weekend and said the same thing. Kind of uncanny.
I thought it was one of those dudes 1st time I heard the song.
This little gem slipped into my autoplay and I love it so much. First time ever hearing it and I cant get over it! It's a vibe.
damn u been missing out on this for years then . its so good
Speechless.😢 This is a masterpiece of a song.🙇🏽♀️
My wife is 12 weeks pregnant with our first child and I'm PRAYING that I have a baby girl so I can play this song
Yung Royalty let us know when u find out bro :D
Best of luck and congrats as a father, dude!
Jonathan Reyes Will do!
I love me some Dead People Thanks man!
Yung Royalty me too 14 weeks tomorrow. Hoping for a girl
If u don't like Chance I'm convinced there's something wrong with u. This man is going to be legendary.
Semajj Philly I'm so excited that he's only 24. We have a lifetime of awesome music ahead of us
what album Kanye released at 38?
Demetera Johns its u LOL
Jk
already is
Still one of my faves ❤🥹
This is giving me Phil Collins vibes and im here for it 🙌
I saw Chance and Francis in concert together and they both did the dance perfectly in sync from this video and it was lowkey the best thing I've ever seen
seen it on youtube, that's such a hard performance even though it looks so easy somehow...
Sania Hussain low-key oh nooooo this is highest key ever
I hate all the keys you mentioned like...nothing is a secret
Chance looking/dancing like Napoleon Dynamite. I like.
haha the first thing i saw
Beautiful....thank you both.
This song is heart worming and forgivable , that's why I love it
Never clicked so fast
Carlo Sarmiento yes you have you know your lying
Carlo Sarmiento stop right now
Marshall Adams How would he even know what the dance was like before he clicked :')
purley incredible
"1,2 1,2 always on beat
yuh must've been born with 2 right feet"
2 left feet means you can't dance. I think he means that they can dance by saying 2 right feet.
Slouch no shit
It's been 4 years since I discovered this song and it doesn't get old 🤍
'i love you more than ur mother..more than u love urself' thats how much my dad loves me. thanks dad
I can literally watch him for hours
Sophia M. SAME HERE✊😭😭💙💙💙
Most def
This song is honestly beautiful and there's a perfect simplicity to your videos that is absolutely mesmerising. I Haven't stopped listening to this since it came out. You've got a new fan for life my dude!!
It's so bittersweet how this song always reminds me of my ex, since it was one of her favorite songs from her artists and how we noth bonded in it. Just can't help but think of her when this plays despite the unfortunate way that we ended but I still look fondly at all the good memories that were made from that relationship - the crazy moments where we said I love you.
This song gives me that feeling in my gut. You know the feeling of something so good it makes you feel Alive!!!!!!
first time these guys do this song together live is going to be LEGENDARY
I saw them do it live this weekend. And yes. It was very awesome.
Firefly ?? It was AWESOME!!
William Primm please gimme a link
William Primm Did Chance actually perform? When I saw them in Boston Francis came out and did the whole song including Chance's verse then Chance just danced with him at the end.
Pidward99 It was during Chance's set, so he performed his part and they did all the same dancing and stuff like that. Unfortunately, I was unable to take a video of it.
I just can't get over this song, holy shit.
I just discovered this, it's awesome. Much love from South Africa.
Wow.
Listening to this song with my first love in a car, singing it to each other, holding the hands of each other.
So happy I've been alive to experience that.
Every time I listen to this, my heart races!
Why is this one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life thus far?
You'd love Genesis!
Probably because you haven't heard "the big day" by chance the rapper
@@issiah4101 correct my brother
Well the meadowarlk cover was the best
Listen to this one too, maybe you might like itczcams.com/video/eCjNM0Sm0Ek/video.html
I have no problem saying this is quickly going to become one of my favorite songs ever. First heard the original on chicken boy's channel, and adding chance in with a beautiful video is... perfect. bravo.
mallaire mmmmm. Chicken boy. You ever realize Jame always has a Chance 3 hat on?
yes and it makes me happy that everything is coming full circle
mallaire what if they're in on it? Like chance and Francis will be on the alternative lifestyle video.
Which part helped you to decide it was your fave song ever? The autotune Phil Collins impression or that cool dance?
Sounds more like Peter Gabriel
Francis and the Lights, is one of a kind.
It blows my mind this song was never a “hit”. Still one of the best songs (and videos) of the last 6 years.
