Monáe, Janelle - Many Moons Lyrics

Possibly her best song, pretty dreadful video though.

I wanna talk about how she was really giving us short films and songs full of world building and allegory and this specific vid out of eberything gas yet to reach 1 million views. I'm salty about that

bro she is so cool 😳

Andrew 3000 you didn't tell us you had a sister

It's still sensational - 11 years later!

I soooooo love Janelle Monae!!! ☮️❤️🖖🤘♒😘Rock on!

How Lucky i am...
😁😁

Fantastic album!

2019, anyone?

Please bring this Janelle Monae back! This is the one I fell in love with along with Archandroid. Lately I haven't been connecting as much as I did with Metropolis and Archandroid.

10 Years later and this is a Masterpiece. I'd Love to see this in High Definition!

That 1st droid pin stripe outfit.....dope af

Me: HD? It's so fuzzy-
Video: "2009"
Me: Oh right

Still my absolute favorite.

turtles & snakes.....xx

Detroit become human

2019 - EPIC

Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love. -2019

This video reminds me of Hey Ya by Outkast...amazing nonetheless!!!

The world didn't, and still doesn't deserve Janelle

When she moonwalks backwards, then forwards though..... AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I still can't believe this was 10 years ago

Like the T-bow. U An eye, Dröid

Not even a million views.. fucking joke. One of the most talented of our generation.

All of her albums deserve the full length mini movie treatment.

"Tell
Me
Are
You
Bold
Enough
To Reach
For Love.."
"I HAVE.."
"It's Your TURN"

If You
Do not
Understand
WHY
Janelle Monáe
Dances with
SUCH Rhythmic
Movement then
It is safe to say
You Are
"Lost in The Wilderness.."

"Y'all
Better
SHUT UP!!"

First song by her id ever heard I was 16

if you think about it.. this video is kinda creepy.


the Punk Prophets are the "Elite" thats why you cant see their faces
the people who are bidding are the millionaires and celebrities we see on TV
the models coming are stage are literally robots and AI that they're displaying in 2019.....




this video was made 10 years ago .... let that sink in

Jeffrey H all Luciferian imagery

Are Prince & Michael Jackson her parents????😀I mean that as the highest compliment to her. Ive never seen an artist other than her whose influences of them both are so apparent, but not imitated completely. She is sooo underrated. Im hoping that she will be like Bruno Mars in that early on you could see the amazing talent he possessed & it was just a matter of time before everyone in the world knew who he was. I realise Janelle has been doing this for awhile, but she should be clearly more relevant & known. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

We're dancing free but we're stuck here underground
And everybody trying to figure they way out
Hey hey hey, all we ever wanted to say
Was chased, erased and then thrown away
And day to day we live in a daze
We march all around til' the sun goes down night children
Broken dreams, no sunshine, endless crimes, we long for freedom (for freedom)
You're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind
Oh make it rain, ain't a thing in the sky to fall
(The silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up)
And when the truth goes bang the shouts splatter out
(Revolutionize your lives and find a way out)
And when you're growing down instead of growing up
(You gotta ooo ah ah like a panther)
Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love?
(Na na na)
He lived in sector ten
He had a friend named Benjamin
Sail away, sail away Susan
So strong for so long
All I wanna do is sing my simple song
Square or round, rich or poor
At the end of day and night all we want is more
I keep my feet on solid ground and use my wings when storms come around
I keep my feet on solid ground for freedom
You're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind
Oh make it rain, ain't a thing in the sky to fall
(The silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up)
And when the truth goes bang the shouts splatter out
(Revolutionize your lives and find a way out)
And when you're growing down instead of growing up
(You gotta ooo ah ah like a panther)
Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love?
(Na na na)
Civil rights, civil war
Hood rat, crack whore
Carefree, nightclub
Closet drunk, bathtub
Outcast, weirdo
Stepchild, freak show
Black girl, bad hair
Broad nose, cold stare
Tap shoes, Broadway
Tuxedo, holiday
Creative black, Love song
Stupid words, erased song
Gun shots, orange house
Dead man walking with a dirty mouth
Spoiled milk, stale bread
Welfare, bubonic plague
Record deal, light bulb
Keep back kid now corporate thug
Breast cancer, common cold
HIV, lost hope
Overweight, self esteem
Misfit, broken dream
Fish tank, small bowl
Closed mind, dark hold
Cybergirl, droid control
Get away now they trying to steal your soul
Microphone, one stage
Tomboy, outrage
Street fight, bloody war
Instigators, third floor
Promiscuous child, broken heart
STD, quarantine
Heroin user, coke head
Final chapter, death bed
Plastic sweat, metal skin
Metallic tears, mannequin
Carefree, night club
Closet drunk, bathtub
White house, Jim Crow
Dirty lies, my regards
When the world just treats you wrong
Just come with me and I'll take you home
No need to pack a bag
Who put your life in the danger zone?
You running dropping like a rolling stone
No time to pack a bag
You just can't stop your hurt from hanging on
The old man dies and then a baby's born
Chan, chan, chan, change your life
And when the world just treats you wrong
Just come with us and you'll take you home
Shan, shan shan shan-gri la
Na na na na na na na na na na na

Merci Couleur 3 !

Dearest Janelle,

While I understand that you no longer need Cindy Mayweather, and it is wonderful that your self confidence has soared, I fervently hope that you will not abandon the character and her story. If you plan to end it with a "Lady or the Tiger" scenario on purpose, that is certainly your choice as an artist, but I would personally love to know what happened after Bah-bop-bye-yah. I hope this message finds your eyes, and sees you in good spirits and fine health, and I bid thee good-morrow.

Sinserely,
Th(A/U)mh

P.S. Cindy should totally make a song with the Daft Punk Droids.

Shees the female Bruno mars

I remember the 1st time I saw this video😍 I thought she was unique because of her EVERYTHING!!! Then...when she moonwalked forward...she had me hooked! Wow! I'm sooo happy she has decided to walk to the beat of her own drum!!! Get em Janelle!!!!💯💕🎶💪😎

<3 my first song from her <3

DIVA QUEEN

10 years later and still one of my favs!

This is still my favorite song/video by Jane!

This is incredible. The whole performance, the moves, the voice, the aesthetics... wow!

Am I the one who's reminded of Detroit: Become Human

Metropolis Suites VI and VII when?

I think the numbers are low balled on this video. Really????This is totally awesome

There were a lot of cuts, but it looks like that woman can REALLY dance.

does charlotte dedeaux also comes with the dog?

Please, re-upload this video in actual HD. It's too good to be seen this poorly <3 :.(

3:57 Shout-out to the two dudes doing the shoulder move in the wrong direction, hehe. 😅 (jk)

A taste of things to come..... or are they already here!!!!

I don't understand how this video doesn't have as many views as some of her more popular ones. This is still my favourite song/video she's ever made. <3

There are so many element to this video.. Her music is so complex and fun. She just oooses talent! Yes I love her 😍

She said she never modeled before,so she was nervous about walking down the catwalk. She needn't have worried,because she OWNED that catwalk!!!!

Hell, she OWNS everything she does!!😀

BEYOND!!! lol Clements, how did you do it? #PodcastBeyond

This video is such a perfect metaphor for me. I claim it for all Dissociatives, even if Janelle did not know she was speaking to us. A freaking masterpiece. Masterpieces ;).

lol. Janelle shows the freak in all of us. ;)

Holy crap -- she's *so cool!!* I cannot even deal with it, it's too much!
What an artist!

Can we talk about her exceptional array of suits in this video? Fashion Queen!!

i need subtitle...

Beyond!!!

Jane 🕴

I love this music video but the video quality is hardly 720. Too pixelated.

ooh u fine

Wow, she's such an incredible talent! Finally a young female artist who represents intelligent young women without having to strip off her clothes. Another great gay artist to be proud of.....the gays are always so talented.

I always wonder, did she perhaps inspire Andre 3K with "Hey Ya" or did "Hey Ya" inspire her with the regards to the performance portions of this video.  Even the back up singers are dressed simarly in horse riding apparel.  I sometimes feel like she had been developing this idea of the visuals in her head for a while, related it to Andre during her time running with the Dungeon fam and he used it for his video.  Probably didn't happen that way but its a thought.

Before some smart guy/girl runs in and says "It doesn't matter!", yeah I know that.  I also know that ultimately it's("Hey Ya") also based on the Beatles performance on Ed Sullivan so let's kill that noise as well.  It's just something I wonder about sometimes.

+Huey Freeman Well, "Hey Ya" came out well before this vid, in 2003 — but both are are referencing 1950s and early to mid 1960s black doo-wop and barbershop quartets... even George Clinton and crew got their start as a barbershop quartet, called The Parliaments!

also they are from the same camp. i'm sure it's a them thing because both of them can rock a party!

For the last couple years I've felt that this video is one of the most amazing pieces of art ever made. It's inspired me, brought me to tears, caused me to gasp aloud, and I also have to say that Janelle needs to realize that leaving us with this blocky pixelated travesty of a video is an injustice to the whole human race!

@Zintle Mvana yes thankyou captain obvious

@Kev's Channel You're welcome, Captain lazy

@Zintle Mvana oh buzz off lol

@Kev's Channel what are we? 5 years old? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 haven't heard that since pre-school

@Zintle Mvana hey come on now I'm joking with you if I wanted to insult you I'm pretty sure this'd be very different ok.

3:42 I started feeling tears well up

Kellindo is really flipping that hair lol

you win again. why so good!?

this girl can dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This lady is NICEEE , her dance moves are crazy good.

Man! I love this sister Janelle. She puts so many baaad sisters in her videos!

What's the story behind this and queen and dance apocalyptic?!

It's based on the 1927 movie, "Metropolis", made in Germany 6 years before the National Socialists came to power

wow…..MIND BLOWN

@Candi Sugacube
 It's very cool. I'm not aware of another R&B artist doing a concept album project. The closest I've seen in terms of this sort of material would be Styx with the "Mr. Roboto" CD from the 80s.

But the deeper meaning has to do with racial injustice and the plight of being black in America. Listen to the lyrics and look at the images/scenes she overlays. Metropolis is merely a canvas for the real picture she's painting.

Love this song.

That moon walk though backwards and forwards I never get tired of this video

Oh my god why am I just now getting into her? AMAZING! Loving this whole Android concept!

3:58 is me on the bus when I hear this throwback.

This video is just like andre3000 hey ya not original 👎

Janelle Monae ft. Lady Gaga please!

please no

omg she is sooo cute... she goes hard as hell

Did she just moonwalk forwards?

yeah cos she's cool like that

It's like a walk to day! A SUNWALK!!

Brilliant Song!!...... Go Janelle Monae ...You Rock....!!!

I want to be her friend in real life.  She is awesome.

ya'll betta SHUT  UP!!!

so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 she's phenomenal

I really hope everyone catches up on her...she is phenomenal!
