Frank Ocean ~ Swim Good

Hello MusicHeads
This is Kai giving my thoughts on Frank Ocean-Swim Good.
Swim Good is a song written by American singer-song writer Frank Ocean and features as the second single of his mixtape Nostalgia, Ultra (2011). What I love about this song is it's simplicity in both acoustic and lyrical aspects. Instead of glorifiying the life of bitches, hoes, and smoking up bongs he talks about life that is full of existential malaise and regret. This is coloured by the metaphors of 'swimming from something bigger than me'.

The acoustic of the song complement the lyrics written by Frank. The beginning of the song starts with electric organ that gives it an ethereal feeling. This is followed by a simple drum beat that doesn't distract you from the lyrics of the song. Overall this is a great song!
