On The Date Frank Discovers His Partner’s Libertine Character And Realizes The Intimacy Shared Between Them Is Meaningless When Frank Was Likely Hoping For Something More. The Outro Of The Song Briefly Touches On Homosexuality And How Difficult And Uncomfortable It Can Be To Come Out To People And To Fit In With Straight Friends A Thoughtful Look At Two Opposing Facets Of Modern Masculinity. Ocean’s Vocals Are Accompanied Only By A Piano The Rawness Of The Track Allows Frank’s Emotions To Stand Front And Center.
