  • I love this song. She is such an amazing artist. Through her tears, hurt and pain, she is still going. I love her!

  • she sounds like she was singing through tears starting at 1:36. Its heartbreaking.

  • This song makes me cry for her loss. I wish that I could give her a hug :'(

  • @whatasexygeek shes mixed and she wears her hair natural so i dont think she needs a silk wrap

  • where is her silk bonnet or pillow case... lmao...

  • @Libby113. You have to check out the Jazz stations or blues stations.

  • @Libby113 Because radio sucks! :( To discover artists and their music like this is a true joy!

  • @Libby113 its way too good for the radio thats why, mostly junky stuff is played on the radio

  • This is one of my favorite songs...This is music and how it should be...Soul soothing as God intended it to be...I listen to soothing music like this compared to the other wild minimalistic mess that comes out today...Corrinne & her god given voice are gold..

  • can't wait until monday ;D (if u can guess)

  • @Libby113 because people's ears cant handle music this good anymore apperently

  • it take something like utube to her a song like this sad

  • I could listen to Corinne, Sade, & Norah Jones all day. Hold on, I DO listen to Corinne, Sade, & Norah Jones all day.

  • @TheAlWendal Nice! Give Esthero a listen ;) Start with 'Superheroes'..

  • this is feel good music

  • You inspire me Corinne ;)

    thank you for being you.

  • i love her voice....and her hair!

  • She is brilliant

  • poor thing, I'm glad to see she's getting back on her feet, she's amazing & the love she experienced and lost was breathtaking and regretless

  • Poor baby, I feel her pain.  I just want to give her a big hug. Oh, love the music too Corrine. Talented, cute, hot, the whole package.

  • i saw her perform this live... and i was moved to tears. she is such a beautiful soul, its increduble.. watching her on stage singing with this small smile on her face (as always) was just amaziing! and this song is ridiculously moving!!! <3

  • I'll never understand why they don't play this kinda music on the radio, it's just as good if not better then anything else they have out there

  • this song always makes me wanna cry. it's like she sings it with her heart completley

  • She's beautiful

  • Comment removed

  • love this sonnnnnnnnng!!!!!

    AHHHHHH!!!

  • She is a great Talent!...I love her songs!

  • Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Kesha could learn from Corinne....she's a true artist.

  • @Libby113 I wish they would Corriene , norah, Adelle, Duffy..more and more Sade ..Ray Lamontagne!

  • The video is a great depiction of this song. I love the way the song builds.......I also love the part of the video when she takes her jacket off in the street and then runs down the alley......I love it.....

  • she for some reason reminds me of louis armstrong her voice is... different a legendary different

  • 164 people have absolutely no taste !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • can't wait till i c her again her concert is tonight her in Memphis at the New Daisy Theater im so ready i love her soulful voice and her soulful songs she is such an angel

  • @SexiReddc09 u'll be surprise!!! its better than the cd !!!!! she's sooo amaziing!!!!!

  • She is the definition of an angelic artist.her voice is like a calming river for your soul.

  • Purist voice, like honey!! and poor baby, her hubby died and still, she sings..LOVE her. this is a REAL artist folks!

  • 0:01

  • This is what real music sounds like and feels like! I agree with you all, they only play what they think will sale, but really this is the music that sound be selling and winning the awards! Peace, and I am just chilling and listening to real music and how it flows!

  • Lady GaGa weeps at night, wishing to be as classy as this chick, voice of an angel

  • i love this i just found this band type HIGHRISE SEVILLE in the search and there vid will come up so good hope this helps you thanks

  • Beautiful song

  • I love the sincerity behind this song. She wrote this 2 years ago after a fight she had with her now deceased husband. Think about it, she held onto this for 2 years, 2 years she spent in personal and professional purgatory. When you listen to 'The Sea', you don't get a sense that it's a mourning album, but just a tribute. I love her for that

  • there are 164 idiots that have no taste :P

  • i love her but i can never really understand her or what shes saying but shes a beautiful singer!!!

  • ive been burning down these candles for love , for love . .

  • agreed with the highest rated comments :)

  • She reminds me of Sade, roberta Flack and Pheobe Snow...I love what she does...it's heartfelt, honest, artistic and sexy...

  • she has a good sound but I really dont like how slow she sounds and it hard for me to really understand what she is saying bc she isnt very articulate!! But i do like her sound!

  • In my Opinion,as a Black British Female Artiste; Corinee Bailey Rae is the best this country has EVER produced.

    She is really coming from a original perspective.

    Here 2nd album has surprised many people,beause this is real classic soul.

    I have not heart great soul instrumentation from a black british soul artiste since OMAR'S 'MUSIC' ALBUM.

  • This song is beautiful pure class, You can really feel the emotions of her having lost her husband so early in their marriage life. I wish shes founds true love again

  • when i wake up...  my hair look like these

  • im not gonna click the dislike button cause i like her too much to pass judgment on her VIDEO...but this song is fucking amazing i mean wtf comon she is so pretty and her voice is like a morning shower with the water in ur face ,its nice soft then she can bring it up and drop it back down make u wanna run out the front door and kiss the 1st chick u see 

  • how can you dislike this ?

  • i love you all, wiht me you're not alone i love guys!!!

  • :'(

    she's realized that its better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

    <3

  • wonderful

  • she ALWAYS puts me a calm, mellow and peaceful mood :)

  • no. ok. jason derulo, ne-yo, flo rida! Are not R&B this is R&B!!!

  • @eddiemarriott listen to erykah badu too

  • @eddiemarriott ne- yo is ok but the rest are pop artist

  • @hokagealex i think this should represent the urban/soul genre in england. but instead its something like N-dubz........ british music has stooped low :(

  • can anyone tell me the meaning of the song plz

  • @crazyboybud So what I got from it is she went through some hard times with her husband(R.I.P.) but in the end she would have re-lived it all because she loves him that much. Basically Its better to have loved than lost than not to have ;loved at all.

  • aww she misses her husband so much

  • Corinne Bailey Rae has such a velvety sweet voice, a soft, jazzy inocence quality to it. When I first heard her I was like "who is this lady?!" Her music is spiritful and at the same time very calming and relaxing. I could listen to her constantly.....

  • shel never make it mainstream because the radio never reconizes talent

  • @Libby113 She would have more views on youtube if the radio stations played alot of her songs on the local city radios.

  • @Libby113 I don't know, the radio people only play to the same stuff over and over agian. The only song from Corinne that I hear on the radio is put you records on. She has more songs!!!

  • Billie Holliday reincarnated.... Corinne Bailey is a dope artist.... 

  • @Libby113 yeah, i would like hear such type of music everyday -w- (a little rest of so much strange songs)

  • I so enjoy her music. *so very soulful* <3, Danna

  • Thee besst !

  • amazing beautiful and even better live :)

  • I agree Corinne has a beautiful voice and real class about her. Has anyone heard of Kelly Erez? She's working with Corinne's people, think you'll love her too, she has acoustic songs on here

  • I think this song is for her husband that passed away recently

  • this is 1 of the best artists ever! she is one of my very favorates besides jennifer holluday!

  • So sweet and sad* [2] I agree

  • Real iish!!! Sounds so classic wif real musicans AWESOME

  • this is exactly how i would have done this music video. love her.

  • how in the world could anyone give this a thumbs down?? she is the epitome of beauty in every aspect.

  • i really wish this song was longer. i have to keep replaying it.

  • This song is pure and rare and it revives my soul. She is a real women and sings real music and its refreshing. I'd do it all again too Corinne:D

  • this is my first time hearing this song and it brings me to tears. I never heard something so beautiful

  • Some of the most beautiful, expressive and emotional music I have heard in years @ 1:42 - 2:14.

  • happiness is no fame, no even richess is just be you & do what u love!!

  • Man..That made me cry...

  • derrrr. ladie gaga stinks, right? little wayn stinks. everybody stinks but this bitch.

  • This is a beautiful song. It reminds me that not ALL music these days are terrible. Its just that the good artists and songs are overlooked. But it still bugs me how manufactured products like Lady Gaga & Rihanna win Grammys and all sorts of awards for being half naked in nearly all their videos, throw class out the window, and making catchy, but generic and simple pop tunes. We need to be paying more attention to real artists, like Corinne. :(

  • Honestly, this woman is so amazing....when i find out her husband died of an overdose i thought she would not be able to recover. but it is so true what they say....music can really help u thru times that u seem to b impossible to overcome. Her music gives you a peek into the struggles she was going thru. She sings from her soul....and so many can relate to each note she sings. The fact that she is not as mainstream is others is good. i dont want her to b tainted by the hype.

  • she kind of looks like Vanessa Simmons. Nice voice.

  • @ESCpart i totally agree, i thought it was her in the video for a second haha

  • she has the best bed head ive ever seen

  • très très beau! saw corinne 2 x in concert 4 yrs ago and this past spring...she always conveys so much emotion! excellent!

  • How the HELL are people like fricken Lil wayne and Kesha getting noticed, but people like Corinne aren't?! Vienna Teng, Corinne Bailey Ray, Reina Del Cid, all amazing, all unnoticed.

  • nice tune and vid

  • She gives me shivers, THIS is real music, so sweet and classy. Another UK singer-songwriter who's worked with one of Corrine's co-writers Steve Bush is Kelly Erez..look her up on here, you'll be pleasantly surprised :-)

  • aww man i usually dont get emotional like this....shes the only woman that can make me break down.

  • i fell in love with someone once. and to this day, he still has my heart. even though we'll never be togehter. every second i spent with him, id do it all again.

  • I love her. shes SO good!

  • i sooo love her!!!! <3  beautiful voice

  • i really hope that she won't turn into those artists like nelly furtado or rkelly who have amazing voices and talents but turned to fame and fortune and changed their music styles completely... :( i really hope that she will stay like this, using music to speak to people. :) this is what music should be defined by, not the kind of music people listen to nowadays where all the lyrics are only about alcohol, parties, clubbing, "sexy" girls, etc.

  • The reason she isn't well-known is because at least 90% of the world has no taste. You could say good music is subjective but I disagree.

    Personally I would prefer her being fully appreciated by that small percentage of people than her become generic, mainstream and a world-wide success; as that is what she'd have to turn into.

  • Corinne doesn't worship the devil and is not willing to sell out or sell her soul to him so thats pretty much why she isn't on the charts or as famous as others think about it mmmm.....

  • awww this song is soo sad

  • I guess i've seen this video 477,606 times. (:

  • Her Voice Is So Smooth and Genuine, U Can Just Listen 2 Her Over and Over .. She's Really An Underestimated... When She Needs 2 B Out There.

  • here's what iDon't understand:

    a qood sonq/video beinq thumbed down by 161 people.

  • @MissKittyJunkie the blind will lead the blind my dear!!!!

  • Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Kesha can learn from Corinne...she's a true artist.

  • @sylsanchez777 I don't know much about Rihanna and Kesha but do some research on Lady Gaga and I think you might change your mind on whether or not you think she is a real artist. I'm not necessarily a fan of her music but I would consider her an artist through and through.

  • @AFJudoka Yes that's true. I'm also not a big fan of Lady Gaga, but she has obviously worked hard. A telling video which I think confirms her raw talent can be found on YouTube if you look up Stefani Germanotta - which is her real name - playing Live at NYU. I believe she has chosen the direction of "shallow pop" because she is a business woman - and it's obviously working for her.

  • @sylsanchez777 Finally, people that I agree on when it comes to music. I like Lady Gaga too but I love Corinne Bailey Rae's music more.

  • @sylsanchez777 she's the artist while they are performers. you can't really compare them to her. they are talented in their way, not music though.

  • @hosuryu Yes I understand the performance and money behind these others, but the lack of recognition bothers me while we have violence and drugs blasted on our radio waves and feeding the minds of our future - we miss out on what music is really all about.

  • @sylsanchez777

    well-said.

  • @sylsanchez777 Rihanne and Kesha yea... Lady Gaga... no... she's amazing in her own right.

  • @sylsanchez777 Agreed. They all can't sing good live. Even, on a good day Lady Gaga is only "Okay". It's just the performance that's good. We have singers to hear their voices. Not to really see their outfits, or anything. Corinne gives us a voice to listen to though. :)

  • @sylsanchez777 I know, i love how shes not crazy...shes awesome

  • melting..... simply amazing

  • i cry everytime i hear this song

  • Nice song.

  • Its make me cry... Brilliant !!!

  • I just love Corrine Bailey Rae. May she pull up from her 'loss' and obtain the fame due. Awesome singer.

  • This song almost has me in tears when I hear it....beautiful beautiful beautiful: her face, her voice and the words.

  • Just amazing !! Corrine you're so beautiul !! Love your music !!

  • Love ms corine... her music is epic. :) She can do no wrong in my book.. now for a fair criticism she isn't the "best" singer... but i love her honest style and voice.. it's so great.

  • She is WAY better than Beyonce, she'd wipe the floor with her voice alone :) I love CBR!!!

  • @lilhalfback shes really good but i wouldnt go there

  • This is what I call a real woman.

    Kind, Soothing, Humble, && Beautiful in every aspect.

    This woman is worthy of calling a role model, She doesn't use her body for attention, Nor her looks which are unquestionably beautiful either way.

    But she's uses her voice, and charm. I want to be like her.

  • @mochachip276

    I love her music and this song...but how do you know she is kind and humble? Or that she makes a good role model/doesn't like to show off her body for attention?

  • Girls today need to be more beautiful like this. There are lots of pretty girls with ugly attitudes in this time of day..

  • it's like, you dnt even listen to her music, you feel it. wow..

  • This proves that you can't sing about real raw emotion and feelings if you want to get famous. She's so talented yet so humble.

  • thank you Lord for making beautiful ladies like her.

  • at least she has acting skills unlike some of these other artists. shes great at everything she does

  • Hmmm , = )

  • delightful!

  • i LOVE her hair!

    SOOOO much

  • did she sing this right after her husband died? if anybody knows go to my page and tell me!!!!

  • @09soccerchick she wrote/recorded these songs prior to her husband's death. But how canny is the timing of it's release?

  • A gem.

  • I'm in love with this girl... Her beauty & her music... Hope you never stop doing what your doing because it needs to be heard.

  • i cant belive people over lok her and her songs she sounds better than some of the people out know

  • @MissCutieKins her stuff is way tooooooo gooooood for radio, most of the stuff on radio sucks anyway

  • I love her she is soooooooooooo amazhinggg!!!!!!!!!! how anybody not like her voice and music, it speaks to ur soul and if someone doesn't like her music then i suppose their taste in music sucks, seriously.

  • isn't she best friends with Amy Winehouse?

  • i really love her music its what music should be sound that speaks to the heart

  • Beautiful sonnnnnnnnnng!!!

  • it really irritates me that singers like corinne are barely famous in the world when she produces such beautiful songs whilst stupid "singers" like kesha are over-rated...i was really sad but this song has just cheered me up...takes me to my happy place lol :)

  • @bugalooshrimp92 yes, she's over looked as an artist. she's a beautiful singer.. 

  • @bugalooshrimp92 think she's still quite popular hear tho, all the way half around the globe, in S, Korea...! to those who know her =)

  • @bugalooshrimp92 Corinne is plenty famous. You need new friends!

  • @bugalooshrimp92 , yeah and crappy phony, wannabe madonna, singers like lady gaga are so big. I guess thy can fool the masses.

  • @bugalooshrimp92 yes its called being controlled by a hollywood organization that controlls what people hear and watch and make people empty and tainted with no hope or happiness...i wish more artist would stand up and stop being brainwashed so good music can be heard loud! Life is Beautiful

  • @bugalooshrimp92 - lol i know like if anything corrine should be getting the glory that kesha recieves.

  • @bugalooshrimp92 well, thats the corporate music business! the true artisans will probably be never be discovered!... though there are many that have albums out there that have been recognised,(they are truly.blessed!) unfortunately for the rest... talented or semi talented or just fucking lucky...... there will be, soo many that will be left out! ..there is so much talent in this earth.. that the industry cannot accomodate!..all . so the rest are forgotten!.

  • @bugalooshrimp92  just like Amel Larrieux, smh

  • @bugalooshrimp92 i totally agree with you why is it that musicians can't sing worth a fuck like miley cyrus are more famous that people who can actually sing like corinne?

  • @bugalooshrimp92 but shouldn't it make you at least a little happy that some dumb ke$ha fangirl doesn't ruin the fanbase of good artists like Corinne?

  • @bugalooshrimp92 i know how you feel but i believe her time will come. Kind of like jason mraz when he got super famous but had a solid fan base that had been there for years....

  • @bugalooshrimp92 corrine will be around...kesha will fade away.  that's the difference.

  • @bugalooshrimp92 Aw, dont worry fame isn't everything. Maybe she wouldn't be the same with that kind of superstar fame. I love her, you love her... maybe she is cool with that lol.

  • @bugalooshrimp92 I agree, the others lack talent and are only famous because of the way they look.

  • she's very classic

  • Beautiful song!

  • Art* Simple As That 3]

  • I don't know, but whenever I hear this song, I am moved to tears...

  • Art* 3) Simple As That..

  • mmmm.. that's good

  • Something so sad about this song, video and the passing of her husband...she just seems so alone.

  • she's gorgeous, and her music is awesome! I need to buy her most recent cd!!

  • I don't think the society these days can slow down enough to really enjoy, or at that, even care about such a wonderful style of music. Hopefully we're just going through a phase. Beautiful song though.

  • So sad....yet so beautiful.

    Love this woman!!!

  • she is just...so awesome. and beautiful

  • <3 she's amazingg
