When I was homeless and sleeping on a bench in front of a library 📚... this made me feel safe and gave me hope. Im warm and home and in bed now listening to this in my room. Happy holidays to all 💝 💕 I pray you all make it. Keep fighting, keep dreaming ♾
Moon River is about two lovers, slowly drifting apart as they take on different paths in life, but, however sad that may be for both of them, they know it’s the best thing to do, and as they move on, memories, wether good or bad will still remain. There is still a sense of attachment, felt by the two, “wherever you’re going, I’m going the same”, but they know they’ll have to keep going. This really brings back memories.
I’m in that phase of life rn. But pretty sure I’m the only one left with dealing with the feeling of sense of attachment while the other person probably already happily moved on with someone new. This song hits hard specially after reading your comment and leaves a bittersweet feeling. What’s funny is that he was the same person who introduced me to Frank’s songs.
@@lizzz5267 I don't think that they should be ranked, while I personally enjoy listening to Frank Ocean's better, I think they're all really good, but if I had to make a choice, I'd want Frank's played at my funeral.
For anyone who wants to play this on guitar, here's how :) The whole song is based on this one, long chord progression with a single down strum per chord! It repeats about 4 times through the whole song. C, Am, F, C, F, C, Bm7, E7 Am, G, F, Fm, C, Am, F, G The only part that is different is after Frank stops singing at the very end, that part just repeats this: C, Am, F, G Hope that helps out! If you get stuck or need any extra help, I just uploaded a video lesson for this on my channel :)
Moon river wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style someday A dream maker My heartbreaker Wherever you're going I'm going that way Two drifters off to see the world There's such a crazy world to see We're all chasing after all the same Chasing after our rainbow's end Moon river wider than a mile Crossing in style someday My dream maker Heartbreaker Wherever you're going I'm going the same Two drifters off to see the world It's such a crazy world you'll see We're all chasing after our end Chasing after our ends Life just around the bend my friend Moon river and me
My brother passed away last month, and this song takes on a meaning for me that represents crossing to the other side when my time comes to see him again one day. When he died a part of me died too, and this song makes me think of him every time I listen to it as a reminder that he is in a better place.
Something about knowing that young man was a Frank fan made me feel like I understood a little piece of his soul, making the tragedy of his loss that more profound and real. RIP.
i always keep frank's music and vocals very close to my heart. i feel like it hurts and heals me at the same time, brings me closure. listening to this right after watching moonlight.. feeling some type of way rn
Moon River, White ferrari and Nights really are songs that make you tear up and feel the moment. I hope whoever reads this comment will be ok, stay strong ❤️
This song hurts once you’ve gone separate ways with that special someone you’ve dedicated this to. Either way, If some of you find yourself heart broken right, trust the process, embrace the pain & always fall FORWARD! love yourself first :)
its insane how this song would have me bawling while i was going through my breakup but now it just holds a bittersweet feeling. to anyone going through it, trust me it gets better, with time, it'll just feel like another lifetime ago
@@LuthandoDlomo how you doing now? It took me 2 months to get over my first heartbreak. Now I found peace and I’m able too see the past and no longer be hurt
Lost my mother in law to Covid 19 this morning. None of this is real.. .. ETA-- We lost her last April and is been a tough year, but it's been tough on us all, hasn't it? I want to thank you for each and every blessing that you all are and have been for me. Daisy would be smiling down knowing how beautiful strangers can be to one another. Thank you so much and, of course, my deepest sorrows for the losses in your lives this year. God bless you. Each one. ❤
Me and my boyfriend first got together the day this was released. I remember listening to it with him and thinking it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard and blubbing like a baby. This song is a reminder that some of the most wonderful things in life are finite (we are no longer together) but that's okay! We're all following our moon rivers and often that means parting ways with those we love. I keep on scrolling through these comments hoping he'll be here too commenting , reminiscing ... So far I've had no luck ... (As cliche as this is) Brandon I love you I hope our paths cross again.
Moon river is actually the river styx, she is talking about living and dying, loving someone in such a way that death would be of little consequence as long as you got to swim in their wake.
L Malachi that’s crazy! Thank u for sharing that .... stay strong! I think it’s sometimes hard to accept that you can’t just automatically turn off your feelings for someone but that’s partly the magic of it too ... it’s what makes relationships and friendships worthwhile
dedicating frank ocean’s songs to my girlfriend, she is struggling rn with her plate and she is scared but tough. i love my girlfriend so much she is all i ever needed in my whole life, i’d choose her from all of frank ocean’s song bcuz she looks like one. if ure seeing this brianna, i love you baby you can do it, i’m here always for you.
Remind her that she’s beautiful no matter what. I also struggle those kind words might not mean a lot of others but it means a lot to us. Tell her she can stick to sugar free stuff if she needs no. Your comment is so sweet by the way. It’s so important to see people like you exist. Frank ocean is 🩷🩷🩷

This song just means so much to me. It made me go from thinking about that I may be chasing someone that I think I may be falling in love with, to realizing that I mostly am chasing and longing for my own self love and freedom. It made me ponder what I love the most at the core.. expression. I still do feel that this song reminds me of the person I care for.. but it mainly reminds me that I should be chasing my dreams and higher purpose as an individual. Thanks for this dope version Frank, it really spoke to me 🙏🏾
the outro kills me, the intstrumental is beautiful, makes me feel like im going through my memories when i close my eyes, i feel it all, the good and the bad, a really beautiful feeling
Two700 J i sweaaar i loved this song but it was such a chill one the first time after i listened to it after watching it i was sobbing and i still tear up every time now
So many viewers here don't realize this is a cover of a Henry Mancini song (the guy who created the pink panther theme). It's from the 1960s and the key song for Brekfast at Tiffany with Audrey Hepburn. Moon river is a river in Georgia (USA), where the lyricist Johnny Mercer grew up. The song is actually about a person reliving his fond childhood memories and chasing happiness and impossible goals. Despite the somber tone, it's actually a positive song about realizing that the narrator may never actually achieve their dream/goals, but they enjoy the journey.
I like to think that this is a gift to all of those out there on Valentine's without someone to share it with. Thank you for being that someone who's always there for us, Frank.
Rest In Peace Joaquin, whenever I listen to this song I think of you. I didn't get the honor of knowing you, but I hope you know that you'll never be forgotten. Fly high with the angels Guac.
Cali Girl He was one of the 17 people murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last February.. He was a really big Frank Ocean fan, and this song was released the same day he passed away. 💔
To all the ex's that coulda, woulda, shoulda. It is truly better to have loved than to never have loved at all. We still miss you. We miss what we had. Always
@@BruteDux I've personally been through a similar situation discussed in the show and I just wont bring myself to relive through that again. But it probably is good, so koodoes to yall🤟🏽
I'm here from Jacob Collier's new cover of this same song. I'm just listening to the original and other covers. I know Frank Ocean, but didn't know he did this song!
This one of the most talented and creative artists of my lifetime, and I've witnessed music's evolution since the 1960s. He amplified the emotion and beauty of already beautiful classic, and the layering of harmonies is next level magnificence.
I guess they hacked into my DVD player, told Frank Ocean that I watched the movie, and then had him pump the song out as quickly as possible? This is a conspiracy I can get behind.
This song feels like making a deep connection with someone you like but barely know with the hope that both of you are heading towards the same things in life.
Moon river wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style someday (someday, day) A dream maker (maker, maker) My heartbreaker (you heartbreaker) Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' that way (the same, the same) Two drifters off to see the world There's such a crazy world to see We're all chasin' after all the same Chasing after our rainbow's end Moon river wider than a mile Crossin' in style someday My dream maker Heartbreaker Wherever you're going I'm going the same Two drifters off to see the world It's such a crazy world you'll see (What I see, who I become) What I see, who I become We're all chasin' after our end Chasin' after our ends Life's just around the bend, my friend Moon river and me
Listening to this it's all so clear. I'm out here freezing my ass off running mile after mile, never felt so lonely; feeling like I'm on a emotional treadmill to no where, all my life, all of my love unrequited but that's just not the truth... or it doesnt have to be. I'm running (well I'm walking now because i'm typing this) away from the loneliness. Running away from all that and running too....someone else. Someone out there, cuz your out there somewhere, girl, I know you are, you have to be....right? You feel me CZcams? I'm on to something right? Thanks for listening CZcams.
I had a best friend of like 5 years till a couple months ago she basically started making weird reasons we couldn’t be friends no more. This song always reminded me of our friendship. I aint even upset no more I hope you doin well my friend. Miss ya Marcel.
I literally discovered this song a few days ago from watching Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Frank Ocean just decides to drop a cover of it. Holy fuck I'm so happy.
Used to use this song to put my daughter to sleep when she was a newborn... now when I hear it, I can't help but tear up. I was in love with the song before but now its even more.
song makes me remember long lost past loves and relationships, hits you with nostalgia of being young and in love, and for a brief moment you feel what you felt back then all those years ago…
Notice the director of the new movie Swan Song used this song which was used in movie Moonlight also, ie water scene ending... Moon river, Swan Song, and Frank Ocean, all water references. Frank Oceans voice Flows like Water. From a River to an Ocean. As a Moon sets over an Ocean, so does a Swan sit on a River
Frank ocean could sing me the dictionary and i would cry
ikr
This is the tea ☕️
You commented this on self control right?
Right, as soon as I heard his voice my chest got tight like. 💔

Many blessings to you. Wish you safe and sound in your journey onwards.

this is her fav frank song
I've never been this early to a new Frank ocean song but I can already tell it's great! ❤️
ITS A FRANK SINATRA COVER
correction it's from Breakfast at Tiffany's , Audrey Hepburn performed it and then Andy Williams used it as his theme song.
Good to know, it's a lovely song
Tomer Yosef I think it's safe to say that Frank gave this song justice. This is such beautiful cover.
rapidbeta me neither but it's amazing
Me: sad
Also me: listens to sad music to make it 100x worse
Jazmine Imani Me rn 🥺😭😭
How is even possible this cover to bring dark melancholy and real hopefulness, both at the same time! Emotional chemistry of Frank Ocean! ❤️

To all the ex's that coulda, woulda, shoulda. It is truly better to have loved than to never have loved at all. We still miss you. We miss what we had. Always
Ok ,that was rude to single people.
How exactly?
@@harigovind2222 what lmao
people be getting mad over anything smh
I was joking
Frank Ocean covering Moon River is everything I didn't know I needed.
Who isn't here from that show everyone is talking bout?🙋🏽♀️
I listen to this song every week at least, but I also watched the show and you really should.
@@BruteDux I've personally been through a similar situation discussed in the show and I just wont bring myself to relive through that again. But it probably is good, so koodoes to yall🤟🏽
I'm here from Jacob Collier's new cover of this same song. I'm just listening to the original and other covers. I know Frank Ocean, but didn't know he did this song!
Never watched the show. Here because I love this song :)
@@taylorh5328 Im sorry that you have went through a similar situation as the young men in the movie. My love and prayers are directed your way baby.
This one of the most talented and creative artists of my lifetime, and I've witnessed music's evolution since the 1960s. He amplified the emotion and beauty of already beautiful classic, and the layering of harmonies is next level magnificence.
One of the most moving covers ever
Why does everything frank ocean put out I like it? He could literally burp in to a mic straight and I would replay 50 times a day.
Alex Smith its a cover dumbass
Karl Whithers Never said it wasnt a cover, just said he liked it, dumbass ;0
Yeah no need for a pretentious douche thinking hes hot for reading a comment about it being a cover. Foh
Frank really not playing. He snatched all our wigs before we could even finish the day
i miss him
Ray's Tavern scene - A Murder At the End of the World 😭
yeahh i was running from there
This is so weird. I just got done watching Breakfast At Tiffany's and this was the first thing I saw when I opened CZcams. Thanks, Frank.
Me too. Uncanny.
Because corporate America stalks you to know what kind of videos you will click on
I guess they hacked into my DVD player, told Frank Ocean that I watched the movie, and then had him pump the song out as quickly as possible? This is a conspiracy I can get behind.
Magnus Prophecy I've told you too much
Sheeeeeeeiiiiit mayn. I guess we'll be sharing bunks in the super illuminati prison.

This song feels like making a deep connection with someone you like but barely know with the hope that both of you are heading towards the same things in life.

Exactly this 😢
"two drifters, off to see the world."💜✨
Moon river wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday (someday, day)
A dream maker (maker, maker)
My heartbreaker (you heartbreaker)
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' that way (the same, the same)
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a crazy world to see
We're all chasin' after all the same
Chasing after our rainbow's end
Moon river wider than a mile
Crossin' in style someday
My dream maker
Heartbreaker
Wherever you're going I'm going the same
Two drifters off to see the world
It's such a crazy world you'll see (What I see, who I become)
What I see, who I become
We're all chasin' after our end
Chasin' after our ends
Life's just around the bend, my friend
Moon river and me
Samantha Rocha luv u
Thank you💛
Thanks bro bro

We are chasing after our ends...meaning we’re chasing after our deaths
Out for a midnight run contemplating love and loneliness...then this comes on
Listening to this it's all so clear. I'm out here freezing my ass off running mile after mile, never felt so lonely; feeling like I'm on a emotional treadmill to no where, all my life, all of my love unrequited but that's just not the truth... or it doesnt have to be. I'm running (well I'm walking now because i'm typing this) away from the loneliness. Running away from all that and running too....someone else. Someone out there, cuz your out there somewhere, girl, I know you are, you have to be....right?
You feel me CZcams? I'm on to something right? Thanks for listening CZcams.
😔
Michael Just Michael 😢😢😢😢
Ayeee we all lonely
Michael Just Michael you should song write that had me in my feels 💣💯😯
I had a best friend of like 5 years till a couple months ago she basically started making weird reasons we couldn’t be friends no more. This song always reminded me of our friendship. I aint even upset no more I hope you doin well my friend. Miss ya Marcel.
Thank you Big Mouth for allowing me to find this gem
I literally discovered this song a few days ago from watching Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Frank Ocean just decides to drop a cover of it. Holy fuck I'm so happy.
WHATS THE SONG ?
Look up "Moon River Supergirl" here and prepare to have your socks blown off with Melissa Benoist's cover.
Same!!!
Dan Trigona I listened to it, it is very good !!!
I did too as well. Amazing! Thanks Dan.
PSA This is a song from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany`s (1961) Originally sung by actress Audrey Hepburn
Thought Frank Sinatra was the original artist
Filip v. Zagora-Gripuli no it was written for Audrey Hepburn to sing in Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Henry Mancini.
"Moon River" is a song composed by Henry Mancini with lyrics by Johnny Mercer and Originally performed by Audrey Hepburn.
It was most famously sang by Andy Williams though
Used to use this song to put my daughter to sleep when she was a newborn... now when I hear it, I can't help but tear up. I was in love with the song before but now its even more.
Still listening in 2024. Beautiful song.
I can’t help but to think of the victims of the shooting today while listening to this, may they rest in peace.
MarTin ShorLux oh man same 😢💔💔
🖤🖤
I thought the same.
🙏🏻💔
"Moon River" is one of my favourite songs...and this rendition does not disappoint. There's a beautiful sadness about it. Well done, F. Ocean!
Human rescources brought me here to remember this master piece 💯💯

and here I am...
Missing you in Christmas.
I just hope you're doing well and being happy.
I'll never forget you.

I came here after watching When They See Us and this is just such a beautiful song.
Jess_ Jessica same
🙋♀️
So this is gonna be mentioned in every comment I see. What is "they are us" about? Never heard of if.
Very beautiful song
Omari Pierre do you know the original movie tho?
Aw shit here we go again😢
mood
Me too
I feel u bra... Damn
song makes me remember long lost past loves and relationships, hits you with nostalgia of being young and in love, and for a brief moment you feel what you felt back then all those years ago…
Notice the director of the new movie Swan Song used this song which was used in movie Moonlight also, ie water scene ending... Moon river, Swan Song, and Frank Ocean, all water references. Frank Oceans voice Flows like Water. From a River to an Ocean. As a Moon sets over an Ocean, so does a Swan sit on a River
Frank’s voice just captures you when you hear it. God I love Frank so much
