Almost 9 years later and still her best song. The darkness, the imagery, the ambiance and poetic lines. Darkness is nothing to be afraid of. With light cones dark, embrace and find your balance, hauntingly beautiful.
Qwenton Williams You really think so? Cause trip is very deep to me. The album is about pretty heavy & important subjects. But maybe you gotta be on the same wave/frequency to understand the true depth of the album.😉 The album is basically her stance on death, the afterlife or where we go to when we we die. why we are here on earth etc. But some things you gotta experience before you will be able to recieve the message. The songs on trip are very clearly speaking to the the things Jhene philosophized on and the 'knowledge' she thinks she received during her' trips. Cause I came to the same conclusions as jhene, during a magic mushroom trip. But from an artistic viewpoint she did a great job of conveying the 'spiritual awakenings' she had during her trips.
If anyone feels connected to her music it is definitely me. Both Pisces both free spirited and artistically inclined. I feel connected to this woman as creepy as it sounds lol
For me, personally, it started here. In 2013. Sitting alone in an empty apartment, high af, wondering if i should just end it all but i decide to look up what's going on in r&b, find this song and Replay it for months and months until i could finally cry again.
Theres no such ting as selling your soul. If that was the case everyone wouldve done it. Every evil soul out there would buss and become rich. Its bullshit.
and NO, she's not a "version" of the Weeknd, she is Jhene Aiko, nothing more nothing less. There isn't a female or male version of her, besides Jhene Aiko herself.
Kween Unicorn. Personally i do not think she will get more recognition. She doesn't do everything that other artiest do when it comes to recognition (which i like). I'm not going lie, i didn't expect her older videos like this one to get over 1mil views lol.
***** i do see she is doing a tour and having more internview or live on media things. Not so many but at least when she is singing, there is some others fan who also singing along with her.
Dinh Phuc Truong What i mean is Jhene is not going to go mediocre to become more well known. Too me, Jhene is not a celebrity,but beautiful singer with a beautiful soul. I been a fan since 010, so i'm pretty confident Jhene isn't going to be well known as Beyonce and Nicki Minaj. Jhene is all about being positive and for some reason people are against that There's a reasons why Jhene says "Sailing not Selling"..
I'm glad all you tender heart and beautiful souls out there have finally found someone to relate to that is able to relay delicate and meaningful messages to you in such eloquence and grace; because as much as Beyonce epitomizes what it is to be a strong woman, as much as Nikki Minaj has character or flare, they simply don't reach down to the depths of the soul that wishes to be acknowledged like Jhene Aiko does. Appreciate her. Embrace her.
^^^^ that's exactly his point. Because she's NOT like them, she has tapped into a different part of female vulnerability and strength that Nicki and beyonce have not necessarily exposed. He's commending her for being different and sending a different message.
+Christian Meza so very true.. I love artist who reach the depths of their soul, pull out whatever that is be it happiness, sadness ..and put it on display... I appreciate the transparency, it makes them more relatble
so beautiful, a bit dark.. but I love it. I believe the sadness/negative emotions we feel, serve this purpose. To create/make/extract something beautiful out of it.... the saddest songs are always the ones that hit home.
This song is about a conversation between an angel and a demon or God and the Devil that takes place inside the mind's of people. The name Jhene is a variation of the name Jinni or Jinn which is a demon that is either malevolent or benevolent. The God within every person is unadulterated consciousness or self awareness.
This is exactly what i was thinking but more along the lines of one loving oneself and then at times deeply hating themselves and wondering where they went wrong, or where they lost their self along the way to be at such a deep dark place.
when I was younger I automatically got clingy to this music visual n song. This song should’ve been respected way more. Today I am 20 I suffer anxiety n depression this video makes me tear
If I'm your reflection Then baby you must be an angel 'Cause when the light, hits you just right One could mistake you for a star That is exactly what you are Better to consider, all, of the good things A glimpse in the mirror, to make sure you are still there Yeah But then the night takes over And you are no where to be found Your face in broken pieces Don't you look down, don't you look down Ashamed I couldn't see this, coming around You're my reflection So tell me why can't you be more clear What's up with all these tears? Can't be regretting, all that you've done And have undone, that shit don't matter here What's up with all your fears? You better consider, all of the good times A glimpse from the mirror, to tell me you're just fine, alright But then the night takes over And there is no one else around You're facing broken pieces Don't you look down
To answer those who have questions on why this is only on CZcams I can answer that. This isn't really meant to be a song because if it was she would've put it on other platforms like she did all of her other music. This is A VISUAL it is MEANT to be watched. Look closely at the video and peep the message in it: there are two different girls one in a white dress and one in a black dress. How can I tell that they are different? Because the way the differently deliver lines. The one in the white dress deliver them so angelic and sweet, the one in the black dress is more sassy with hers. If you further watch the video you can see that the black dress girl ended up switching places with the white dress girl and taking over. I love this vid and once I figured out that this was only on CZcams and meant to be seen I started to decode it a few years ago. End of story jhene is the goat.
Takamaru From studying Trip, I wonder if the girl in white represents her innocence, or “Penny,” her true self, while the black dress represents herself outside of Penny. When she’s in a negative state of mind.
I think this girl went thru alot in her life thats why when she sings she sings with her heart and her soul them words she sings is soo real.thats a real talent bravo more talents like this not some beiber shit
Love Jhene, only woman hip-hop/musical artist with any talent that makes the music good and makes sense. Fell in love with her after the Manifesto concert in toronto , i liked her before but her performances are straight up fun. Such an underrated song/artist christ..stay undiscovered please Jhene.
Braden Rikli lool bro check out Lauryn Hill u will like her. She has influenced almost every1 in Hip Hop and R&B. Im sure u have heard her too, Killing me Softly, Ready or Not.
I just started listening to Jhene Aiko a week ago when I bought Sailing Souls on a whim and have gone back to listen to all of her music. Sucks to be late to the party but being able to binge these albums has been therapy to my heart. But I tear up every time I hear this song.
I love her so much and love her style of writing and expression ,i must say shes different and apealling and although not a lot of people know her ,her music lives on and yet again Quality is better than Quantity its not about the amount of people who know you but the product of the people who know you!!!Love you Jhene Aiko♡♡♡
This song has been in rotation for 7 months straight. I was going through some tough times, and now that i am finally understanding what the lyrics mean, i know for a fact my angels sent me this song to help me cope with what i was going through. Thank you universe
My favorite artist, my favorite female, she’s so beautiful inside and out. Her music speaks to me every single time. I love Jhene and hope to one day meet her ❤
My probably 40th time listening to this song and I was struck with sudden clarity for a part of my writing when she said "You're my reflection" and I am just so stoked now. This song is obscenely beautiful and the video does it justice.
I like how twisted and dark the videos are and how different her style of music is. It's very refreshing. Sometimes I feel like R&D and hip hop artists are afraid of being different.
this song brings mad memories to my mind of this girl i loved i hate to say it but it kind of makes me wanna cry even tho im a guy im a human to and we also can get emotional her voice is just so beautiful its so crazy it really give me this weird feeling inside that i cannot explain
Ya know, I first discovered this song & fell in love with how it made me felt. I was 14 then, now turning 24 and understanding the true meaning just makes me love it even more!
I listened to this song for 1 month straight back in 2012... lol, the heartbreak was real, Where there are cracks, light can begin to shine in... The lesson was to allow myself to show up for myself when things begin to feel difficult. This is how my spiritual path was initiated... For some Love is an initiation. It’s a Human thing, not even the Angels will quite understand.
Almost 9 years later and still her best song. The darkness, the imagery, the ambiance and poetic lines. Darkness is nothing to be afraid of. With light cones dark, embrace and find your balance, hauntingly beautiful.
I can't believe it's this old
Yes bro it’s so deep I still don’t truly understand
Exactly!!!!!!
@@Chocolate-city you don’t truly understand either cuz it’s SO DEEP????
Deep as the abyss!!!!!!
Her songs are so deep and meaningful . That's why I like her, she actually tells a story in her songs .
I think she's moved away from this now. I dislike that. I still love her though.
Qwenton Williams You really think so? Cause trip is very deep to me.
The album is about pretty heavy & important subjects. But maybe you gotta be on the same wave/frequency to understand the true depth of the album.😉
The album is basically her stance on death, the afterlife or where we go to when we we die. why we are here on earth etc. But some things you gotta experience before you will be able to recieve the message.

Qwenton Williams I feel the same way. I always call her my soul sister.
Rachel Linger DONT MIND IT, THAT PERSON DOESNT KNOW WHAT THEYRE TALKING ABOUT
For me, personally, it started here. In 2013. Sitting alone in an empty apartment, high af, wondering if i should just end it all but i decide to look up what's going on in r&b, find this song and Replay it for months and months until i could finally cry again.
Hope you found peace 💙
i pray you’re in a peace of mind now 🤎
❤️
I had a similar situation, I hope all is well with you
Same tbh
I swear the ones that don't sell their soul are the best
Theres no such ting as selling your soul. If that was the case everyone wouldve done it. Every evil soul out there would buss and become rich. Its bullshit.
BUGZYIIE NINETHIRTY oh but then how comes people always say "he sold his soul" or "she sold her soul" ect
I know right
It is true. The good outweighs the bad. Many people fear God and believe in him. There are bad people out there.
Karen Charles too bad she sold out 😪 loved her. Still do just disappointed in her
I've been going through her channel, and she literally has no bad songs
i totally agree
Correct Is Right Bro
Akiralue
still stays true
Factz
To me this song is basically about learning to love your flaws and your glory. Also learning to find light in both the Yin and yang of you.
and NO, she's not a "version" of the Weeknd, she is Jhene Aiko, nothing more nothing less. There isn't a female or male version of her, besides Jhene Aiko herself.
Brionna Jones right people need to stop trying to compare her, there’s no one like her.
Tell them again hun
So true . ❤❤😭😭😭This comment is so underrated.
What Jhene does cant be copied. She has her own style and puts her heart and soul into her music
@@iMThatOnlyBeast13 Louder 📣
i remember when this had less than 50,000 views , glad she's finally getting the attention
MalachiOnline69 Exactly, Jhene needs way more recognition
Kween Unicorn. Personally i do not think she will get more recognition. She doesn't do everything that other artiest do when it comes to recognition (which i like). I'm not going lie, i didn't expect her older videos like this one to get over 1mil views lol.

+WarriorDescision She is now lol
I'm glad all you tender heart and beautiful souls out there have finally found someone to relate to that is able to relay delicate and meaningful messages to you in such eloquence and grace;
because as much as Beyonce epitomizes what it is to be a strong woman,
as much as Nikki Minaj has character or flare,

Appreciate her.
Embrace her.
Yea but what Beyoncé nicki or anybody else have to do with this she's not tryna be them their not tryna be her
^^^^ that's exactly his point. Because she's NOT like them, she has tapped into a different part of female vulnerability and strength that Nicki and beyonce have not necessarily exposed. He's commending her for being different and sending a different message.
Thank you CJohnson 😊 that was nice of you.
+Christian Meza so very true.. I love artist who reach the depths of their soul, pull out whatever that is be it happiness, sadness ..and put it on display... I appreciate the transparency, it makes them more relatble
Yes I can relate to jhene Akio and the weeknd
the smoothest track i everd heard, voice and production are phenomenal
This song goes out to all my confused beautifully broken Pisces. Who still bring the light to others even when we can’t shine for ourselves ✨
so beautiful, a bit dark.. but I love it. I believe the sadness/negative emotions we feel, serve this purpose. To create/make/extract something beautiful out of it....
the saddest songs are always the ones that hit home.
100
Yessss
111
Anyone who knows and understands music would know that Jhene is the goddess of music.. Her voice is so peaceful and always touch the soul
She's making love with my soul the song and lyrics are completely completed
I’ll never get tired of hearing her sultry, siren voice . I’m sure she’s been luring everybody w/ it growing up
Literally woke up from a dream thinking about this Melody I haven’t listened to this song in a so long and I forgot how much I loved it
This song is about a conversation between an angel and a demon or God and the Devil that takes place inside the mind's of people. The name Jhene is a variation of the name Jinni or Jinn which is a demon that is either malevolent or benevolent. The God within every person is unadulterated consciousness or self awareness.
Right comment
Isn't jinn an Islamic thing? I believe Jhene's father is a Muslim.
Tayyab Pirzada It is an Islamic thing. It's mentioned in the 72nd Sura of the Quran. This song is very deep if the mirror symbology is understood.
The Black Dahlia is my
This is exactly what i was thinking but more along the lines of one loving oneself and then at times deeply hating themselves and wondering where they went wrong, or where they lost their self along the way to be at such a deep dark place.
This video as well as the song is hauntingly beautiful.
I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE
“Your my reflection, Soooo tell me why can’t u be more clear, wassup /w all these tears😭💔”
Fefe Helfa shit deep she’s low key a lyricist
when I was younger I automatically got clingy to this music visual n song. This song should’ve been respected way more. Today I am 20 I suffer anxiety n depression this video makes me tear
sadgirl dezi ❤️🤲🏻
damn .. I thought I was the only one
If I'm your reflection
Then baby you must be an angel
'Cause when the light, hits you just right
One could mistake you for a star
That is exactly what you are
Better to consider, all, of the good things
A glimpse in the mirror, to make sure you are still there
Yeah
But then the night takes over
And you are no where to be found
Your face in broken pieces
Don't you look down, don't you look down
Ashamed I couldn't see this, coming around
You're my reflection
So tell me why can't you be more clear
What's up with all these tears?
Can't be regretting, all that you've done
And have undone, that shit don't matter here
What's up with all your fears?
You better consider, all of the good times
A glimpse from the mirror, to tell me you're just fine, alright
But then the night takes over
And there is no one else around
You're facing broken pieces
Don't you look down
Thankss
~ if im your reflection.. then baby you must be an angel~
that note sounds like taking the first hit off the blunt
She has that voice of an angel
9 years later and still one of her best song the darkness the imagery the ambiance poetic lines lovin' it
She brings chills in a good way because you can feel her pain and feelings in every word

This song hypnotize me
fr
GleijsteenXIV Me fucking too
Why is this song not more popular?
Trill Niecey jus a lil older.. I been on it lol
because the masses are blind sweety or deaf tune
It was when it came out. It got more popular though in 2013
let's make it popular
her lyrics actually speak to you and that's what I love about her
I love the black swan concept of the video....interpretation is amazing
Love Jhene, only woman hip-hop/musical artist with any talent that makes the music good and makes sense. Fell in love with her after the Manifesto concert in toronto , i liked her before but her performances are straight up fun. Such an underrated song/artist christ..stay undiscovered please Jhene.
Have you heard of Lauryn Hill???????? Bets hip hop vocalist and rapper.
No and probably for a good reason. lol.
Jealous, angry, depressed? any of those ?*****
Braden Rikli lool bro check out Lauryn Hill u will like her. She has influenced almost every1 in Hip Hop and R&B. Im sure u have heard her too, Killing me Softly, Ready or Not.
Tyrael SterlingTV Eh. The student surpassed the master? lol. Idk i just dont like anyone else except for jhene.
She's like this generations Sade, incredible
If God can be converted into music, what else could it be but this very song........
Couple days away from 2017 and this shit still HOT 5 years later!
One of my favorite songs ever!! Jhené really gets to people's souls. She takes you to another place, a better place where there is only peace.
i feel she is very original , and unlike many she has you to actually think what she means and feel her emotions ! Good job. hands down !
Music for the mind, spirit, and soul.
The lyrics make you think. I like that.
this is how music should be. not that nicki minaj bs.
💯💯💯💯
I just started listening to Jhene Aiko a week ago when I bought Sailing Souls on a whim and have gone back to listen to all of her music. Sucks to be late to the party but being able to binge these albums has been therapy to my heart.

I love Jhene Aiko, I wish she still wrote and sang from the heart and not the over sexualized stuff she does now.
I love this era of her.

Im in love with her music. I can so relate to every song.. her songs put me in a chill mood
This is a dark song...I love it.😁
Holy fuck I can't believe I forgot about this song. What a gem

I hope she makes it mainstream. All good artists deserve to be successful. Her voice is amazing to listen to.
Beautiful

This song always gives me the chills. Her voice and lyrics are a perfect combination.
She's amazing. Why is she underrated? Why don't more people know her?
Because she still has her soul
Feb 2024 still here!
her voice is so pure and mesmerizing I love it
one of the best artists of all time!
Why is this song not on fuckin itunes? This is her best piece imo.
It really is one of her best
This song carried me through dark times for a long time
I love this song.. and her as well.. beautiful songstress... cant wait for the album
This song has been in rotation for 7 months straight. I was going through some tough times, and now that i am finally understanding what the lyrics mean, i know for a fact my angels sent me this song to help me cope with what i was going through. Thank you universe
Great song to just zone out and fall asleep to. So in Love with this woman AND her music

My favorite artist, my favorite female, she’s so beautiful inside and out. Her music speaks to me every single time. I love Jhene and hope to one day meet her ❤
This is my favorite song of hers. The melody is dope and her lyrics are perfection :3
Her music speaks to my inner soul.
♥
My probably 40th time listening to this song and I was struck with sudden clarity for a part of my writing when she said "You're my reflection" and I am just so stoked now. This song is obscenely beautiful and the video does it justice.

This'll always be a CLASSIC CLASSIC Jhené joint. Easily in her top 10
I like how twisted and dark the videos are and how different her style of music is. It's very refreshing. Sometimes I feel like R&D and hip hop artists are afraid of being different.
you're amazing Jhene. Your music speaks to me and helps me..
You a real one if you know this song 💕
Its like the mirror is talking to her. Beautiful, Creative and Soulful. This is music!
Her words are so powerful, legit soul reaching, wound healing.

I love all her songs👌💁💅💅
I feel like she put a spell on me
Shin Ha Yoo Love Lana Del Rey put a spell on me, Jhene like my healer.
Love you so much jhene ❤️ and I love and support you girl! Your music has so much meaning keep it up on your 1 biggest fan babygyal I love you!!
One of the most beautifully written songs I've heard.
Why isn't this on iTunes? Also, her older stuff like Pain.
Right tf 💁
+GreenGretel I wanted to ask the same thing they need to put all of songs on iTunes
I said he same thing. Her old stuff was great & wish they were on iTunes
Jhené Aiko's voice is so timeless
Wow! I haven’t heard this song in years & listening to it still hits the same as the first time I heard it. Man she is so poetic ✨
The first Jhene Aiko song I ever heard..
I instantly fell in love.
Really makes me chill down, absolutely love her!
She knows how it feels to not want to be here.
I almost forgot how hard this shit hits me. Especially when I'm going through a tough time. I love it so much :(
This song has helped me appreciate myself a bit more. Thank you Jhene
I listened to this song for 1 month straight back in 2012... lol,
the heartbreak was real,
Where there are cracks, light can begin to shine in...
The lesson was to allow myself to show up for myself when things begin to feel difficult. This is how my spiritual path was initiated...
For some Love is an initiation.
It’s a Human thing, not even the Angels will quite understand.
