@GreenGretel There is a longer version of Green Eyes here on Youtube, around 10 minutes or so and in that, the first part of the song is a lot longer <3
I was 7 years old when this cd first came out and i listened to it everyday and knew all the words to every song.None of my friends had the attention span to listen to this song with me. I thought that since i hadn't listened to this song in a while i wouldn't know the words but i remembered every single word....im proud of myself
man, this takes me back. i used to roll myself a blunt or 2 and just cruise around town solo enjoying her music and lyrics as much, if not more, than the blunt i was smoking.
This is my all time favorite song from her. I adore her voice it reminds me of juke joints and smoky bootleg club scenes from a movie. Its this and orange moon.
erykah is truly a godess in her own right......she is brilliant in her craft and sooo peaceful.....i luv her and big shout out to dallas becuz we are both from there.....
I'm so glad I got to talk to her after Common's concert at The Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas a few years ago. She is wise beyond her years. A true old soul!!
this is such a brilliant song. Detailing all the conflicting emotions of a love thats ended. Denial, Desperation, Anger, self-pity and eventual acceptance. Bravo Erykah!
whoever disliked this! needs a serios ass whoopin! this that ILLNESS....MOST of these black female NEOSOULERS cant fuck wit her! every track she PUT OUT a HIT!
I haven't listened to this track in a very long time. i had a moment today where it popped in my mind and i remembered how brilliant it is, in fact the whole album
my eyes are most definately green at this moment.... replay
@luckybrightstar yes we can.lol..smh..and as a man it hurts my heart truthfully. Cause i know it will never be like this again. Women that strive to be more like this are a rare breed these days. they're over shadowed by barbies and bad bitches. Erykah, Lauren & Jill scott too, taught females how to have self respect and be an individual. As for nicki and others along those lines teach females how to be greedy and money hungry and only motivated by power & ignorance.
@6angelo9 Exactly!! Good comment/observation...Goes to show you the POWER of INFLUENCE and/or PERSUATION that mainstream media has. From to Positive to Irrelevancy.
check out my music channel and subscribe for more music that get played in forever21,h&m, nordstrom, express, armani exchange, plus many other amazing songs! *WE.DON'T. LISTEN.TO.THE.RADIO*
this is one of my top 3 Badu songs... Love her. Love the feeling of this song, such a story. Tells a lot of parts of my past relationship(s). Glad I'm not in that place anymore but sometimes pain has a unique beauty that we can not and should not ignore... how else would we learn right?
One of my fav lines... goose bumps everytime. So truely sad... but the raw emotion in it! "...just make love to me, just one more time and then you'll see, i cant believe i made a desperate plea..."
Saw her in concert in 2001 when this album had just been released. I brought a little hand held color tv to watch my Duke Blue Devils beat USC and Dan Gadzurick (sp) on the way to the title. All the while watching and listening to a wonderful talent like this. Not too bad, eh?
This song describes my messed up relationship to a t, not just the lyrics... but the feeling and soulfulness in her voice.. =( No one can sing like Erykah... my favorite for sure. =)
this song kills me, listening to it for the billionth time (and i dont exaggerate!) after hearing my friend has found love when such has evaded me for since the beginning and im trying not to be jealous and hate so im thinking, my are green cos i eats a lots of vegetables, eating a carrot and corriander soup as i listen to this...
she creates timeless music like maze. these new singers, and i say singers because erica is an artist, they will make a song and you will be tired of hearing it in a month. this cd will forever get sold for full price and be worth it. maxwell, timesless, ppl like them are few far and in between.!!!
this song is not good to play when you had a nasty breakup and you still love the person and just want one more chance with them to change their mind......boy i put this song on while driving through the cornfields of indiana after a baaad breakup i was bawling like a big ass baby!
I can't wait to see her in concert in August. I'm bound and determined, even if I have to go by myself. I love her! This song hits such a soft spot with me and the words are so simple, yet so profound. Mama's Gun is one of my fav albums of all time... hands down. thanks for posting this!
@funkateerkitty she's going to be at Kinahwa Plaza in Richmond, VA the first Friday in August... i think it's the 8th or 9th, and she going to be in DC the next day...
@saucy05 how dare you speak on something that u have no idea abt this is a grown woman here she is living her life in a completely different light than majority of us. This is excatly what she speaks on GROUPTHINKING letting the world decide how we should live dont be an idiot all your life. If you were a true fan you would know this. Wake up im out.
She is just so FunkyFresh! i'd love to meet her & chill i bet she is just as real & down 2 earth as her songs are. We share a birthday so i know she's cool:) I remember her on "Reading Rainbow" w/braces on her teeth. Peace babygurl!
I love this song! she goes through all the stages of a breakup- denial, regret, desperation, and acceptance... it is a brilliant song, as expected should be from her.
Does anybody have the first 2 minutes of this song posted??? This isn't the whole song and I've been trying to find the full 10 minute song!!! HELP PLEASE!
This song has such amazing musical arrangement that it shocked me at first listen when i bought the CD. Erykah Badu is one of the most Influential singers out there today (her last offering Amerykah was outstanding as well).
Hey maslusaj! can you please give more songs of Erykah Badu like the first in this video, whit that old school style(the sound of the vynil etc) please, thankx
