Jon Bellion - Luxury

I was listening to this song in my family room once, and my mom heard it and asked what it was because she really liked it. I then heard her listen to it every morning in the bathroom while she was getting ready for work and I was getting ready for school. It made me really happy that she like Jon and listened to him every day. Whenever I played it, she wouldn’t stop talking about how much she liked it. She passed away at 42 last year, and it kills me to listen to this song now. She was the most amazing, caring woman on this planet. We had thousands show up to her funeral because of how influential she was. I cry every time I listen to this song. I miss her so much and this song makes me feel like she’s still here with me. I love you mom and I love you Jon ❤️

"The story is about Jon's dream of becoming famous since a little kid, he is now following his dreams and is slowly becoming a lot more famous, and there are things that come with fame and luxury, such as Woman (like the ones chasing after him in the video) Greed/Jealousy (Which represents the green goblins in the video that he's running from, (and the spider which represents all his fears and his haters that he's trying to overcome) The video ends with powerful singing by Mae when he is surrounded by his loyal fans, friends and family that he asks to help him make sure he doesnt drown in things like luxury, fame, hate and etc etc, which concludes the message of the song. Hope I helped! " - not my words

The ending of this song is one of the only things that give me goosebumps every. single. time. Just me?

Anyone coming back 2024•?

I could be way off on this, but this is how I viewed the music video. He obviously is growing up throughout the short, but during each phase a new "monster" threatens to stifle his creativity. First there is lust/fame, then greed, then fear/self-doubt. Near the end he feels that there's no way to avoid these "monsters" and that he's trapped. However during the "lay with me, conversate with me" portion of the song he realizes that he's not the only one who wants him to continue blossoming as an artist, his family, friends, and fans are all there with their own separate candle, hanging out with him, talking to him, letting him know what he means to them, and that none of them will let his soul drown in Luxury. This is just my personal take on the song though. Absolutely loved the video and look forward to seeing his progression from here.

Yup, I'm addicted to your music.

I love how he says "God" with such force, authority, and confidence. Unwavering.

This Video and Song is a Masterpiece!

i think jon bellions music is so good bc its way different than other peoples music

Such an underrated song

Haven’t heard this song in years, but still one of my favorites by Jon Bellion.

Only just found this! Absolutely addicted. His "Making of" come up recommended. The dedication and love for creating music is insane 😎

He makes the most powerful music ever😭

What do you guys think that each monster represents? My guess: 1. Crazed woman: Represents the horde of women that want to be a part of Jon's life and are crazy for it. They constantly throw themselves at him but also have detrimental motives. 2. The Green Goblin: Representation of Jealousy. "Beware my lord of jealousy, for tis the green eyed monster that doth mock the meat it feeds on." (Othello, Shakespeare). "Money the jealous type I always knew it" 3. The spider could represent a general evil that is sneaky like a spider and can trap you in its web, then consume you. This could be a representation the hidden evil that exists in the world mainly through temptation that distracts you from your goals. All of these are elements (luxuries) that can hold someone back from achieving success. Jon is asking for help. He want people to pray that he doesn't drown in these luxuries. He could be speaking to the fans and asking us for our help as he travels to the top "My plane is boarding soon and it's so plain to see, that one can lose his way so could you pray with me, that I don't lose my soul in Luxury." In the second verse I believe he is writing as if he is a fan speaking to Jon. Stating that if Jon falls of track and is consumed by the luxuries then we as fans will be his Adderall in helping him get focused and back on track. The basketball reference relates to his playing basketball with the fans which I believe he does from time to time. There are other elements in the song that I didn't touch on but these were the ones that stuck out most to me.

This guy is underrated...He's a class apart.

Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time.

Even after a full year of knowing this song, the outro still gives me chills

I know there is a real basis of the song but I think one angle of it is, ignoring the music and just focusing on the video is that, maybe the candle's flame is sanity and all the monsters are problems in life and his main goal is to keep the flame, therefore, keeping his sanity. Just a thought on the song.

My friend introduced me to Jon with this song. His name was Joseph, he died a year ago. Playing this song only bring back memories... I had no money but could at least attempt to cook. I survived a tight period in school because he provided the money to get the food stuffs and I cooked. He often encouraged me to live life to the fullest whilst I can. May you always know peace Joseph!!!

Who's still here in 1140 BC?
