“With Him,” the fifth track off Freetown Sound is a saxophone ballad inspired by Dev Hynes' friend’s experience with a cocaine overdose. The song samples the 1994 documentary “Black is… Black Ain’t” whilst introducing a motif central to the over arching theme/narrative at play in the album.
[Verse]
You chose to fade away with him
I chose to try and let you in
You chose to fade away with him
I chose to try and let you in
Hi, hello come on now
Come on, yes
[Monologue]
Black is and black ain't
Black is blue, (hoo) black is red
Black is tan (Black will get ya)
Black is light (And black will leave you alone)
Black can get you over
And black can set you down
Black can let you move forward
And black will make you stumble around (Black is so hot)
