This guy is one of my new favorite YouTubers

idk if you knew this but the length of futura free relates to the last question of "how long is a light year?" the song is 9 minutes and 24 seconds and a light year is 9.24 trillion kilometers

Firstly I wanna say I love these videos. but also another thing I noticed in the album is the motif of "swimming pools". Every time frank mentions a swimming pool, he is referring to love, which ties into the album cover and name. He dyed his hair blond/e (symbolizing purity) and then dived into a swimming pool (his relationship with Nikea). The chlorine in this swimming pool (Nikea herself) turned his hair green and removed his purity. Genius album writing and storytelling.

"who is this girl, Tron Cat?" is so funny if you watched the wolf trilogy

Never in my life would I thought I can cry to a YouTube video. I’m 19 years old and I think I’m at the lowest point in my life, in the last 6 months I had my life turn around 180 on me, have broken up with a person I thought I could live forever for, had to come back to my country after 4 years of high school when I already built relationships and friendships with people, and overall just regretted everything I did in the past years. Now I have no clue where I’m going with my life and it’s really hard. This video made me realise how much I feel connected to the album and made the songs even better for me, the last three songs genuinely made me cry, but I felt better. And after your message at the end, I really did feel hopeful, and hopefully I can continue moving forward thanking for what had happened to me in the last several years and not regretting it

I like how when he mentions the 30 minute mark of the album, it’s at 30:30 of the video. The attention to detail is crazy

This video is amazing, just a thought:
In my perspective, white Ferrari is not about them physically riding in a Ferrari, but rather a metaphor, the car is the lover and the ride is the relationship, Frank is driving without any words, as he knows it’s the end of the “ride”.
It also shows Frank’s progress throughout the album, in “Nikes” he sings about his materialistic nature, literally talking about shoes, while in this song, he talks about a physical object but as a metaphor for love, a spiritual thing.

Best video for my personal favorite album of all time. Thank you for making this 💚

I also feel like the track Siegfried questions his masculinity and sexuality. He dissociates himself with his past lover but also what he’s attracted to. There’s many ways to perceive this track.

HE LIVES

franks first love was about a boy in his younger years. i think ivy is about that, and how frank wrote to him before he moved and the boy told frank he loved him back.

I love your analysis's cuz you don't just interpret the lyrics vaguely and give general meaning to them like everybody else. You actually try to create a story and piece everything together.

Blond has been my all time favorite album and impacted my life in such a massive way since I first heard it. While some songs took some time and replays to understand, I believe every song is still a masterpeice of storytelling. Each song has been prominent in my life no matter what emotion I was feeling at the time because each song has a perfect vibe to fit any mood, If i'm sad Seigfried or White Ferrari are my go-to's, Happy I put on Pink + White and Pretty Sweet, ect. Like you said at the end of the video this is how we'd tell others about our past relationships, that's what I think makes this album so universal for anyone. Each song speaks to a different time in everyones lives and tells of experiences that almost anyone can relate to. I've dissected Blond many times trying to understand each lyric, I've seen lots of video essays on Blond but I don't think any of them come close to this video. This video was beautifully done and went over every detail and more in this masterpiece of an album, I hope more people see the amazing work you made and can understand Blond a little more with the help of this video.

Hey! I'm making this comment to clarify a few things that have been brought to my attention by viewers in the comments :) - Frank's first love in Ivy is actually a man. The letter (I mention in the video) he wrote to him contains he/him pronouns. That wasn't done with any ill intent. I didn't notice that and just blindly assumed it was a girl (which was definitely wrong, I'm sorry about that) so thank you to the people who brought that up! - The music that's heard in the beginning is called Ambiance #003, it was used on blonded radio I think. Thank you so much for watching really means the world to me ;)
