I never comment online, but I had to for this. I was so mad when my cd got destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. Luckily, I found another one months later. This song is by far one of the best songs I've heard in my life! The beat is so infectious and the flow is so chill. THANKS RES! If you never do anything else in your life. You made this song (*=*)
One of my favorite songs that's ever been made. Countless drives through Malibu Canyon with this blasting with all the windows down. Sun shining. Singing along. Soundtrack to our lives....
I own over 5000 songs and this one is my absolute favorite. I just so true: at first love is great and then there is trouble, but if you stick it out the great part comes right back again...
Its called incorporation. Companies are not concerned about hyping up artists that have true artistry behind them such as Res. However, I will continue to enjoy her music.
I remember listening to this entire album when it came out (I was 11 or 12). I would just lay around and imagine scenarios to each song. Best summer ever.
man i love this song so damn much i would play it at a gang member meeting!! i would kill cats on call of duty with this song playing in the back ground! i would play this song to get hyped before a krump battle! haha.. i cant get krump though... im to uncoordinated and it hurts! hahahaha
OMG this song is so beautiful and real and full of soul. This kind of music you dont hear everyday but when you do it reminds you of what music nowdays is missing
I LOVE her music she has an amazing voice i wish more people would know about her but then again maybe it is a good thing she isnt out there like that because the industry might turn her into a typical artist that is barely dressed with horrible lyrics but her music is great and mellow
She was the only artist that i felt truly look into my soul when her album came out man idk where i would of been without her vision and words to effect me the way she did, since Res no other artist came close she truly does not get the props but that's okay i would not want her in that fake music industry anyway. Big Ups to REAL TRU MUSIC AND ARTISTS
Well said reg the last post "So true So True" I really love RES she has a wonderful voice and an interesting and diverse style in music. This is my Fav song on the "How I DO" CD... Never stop singing RES and being YOU :) moe
Very Talented I fell in love with her music in 2002. i was going through and Res took me to a better place when I needed the comfort of Music ..GREAT SONG!!!
i think she likes her underground true followers who really appreciate her and don't want to "share" her w/ the mindless top 40 masses. I know I don't want to share.
I remember listening to this song on the USS Cleveland as I sailed to Iraq to fight in the first war. I used to listen to it FAITHFULLY every night and think about my XGF who cheated on me while I was getting shot at Fucking Bitch!!!!!
I love Res and this song. My fondest memory of this song was when I was riding downtown to my dad's apartment in a blizzard and I listen to it all the way there! RIP dad ::tear::
I Love u RES u are really the truth!!!! I play ed my cd until it brokeand then i had to get another one...lol and if this one brakes i'm getting another..lol
It's a shame she's an 'obscure' artist when she's so obviously talented. On top of being a soulful, subtle vocalist, with thoughtful lyrics, and beautiful music she is also dead gorgeous too.
One thing that might work against however her is that she's not easy to categorise. She's a nineties throw-back - a time of greater diversity for black artists both in music and image.
If you're not a Beyonce/Rhianna knock-off singing in the r n b/pop machine, there's no room for you in the industry.
@Takver U are soooo right. I actaully purchased her CD in 2001 and I still bang it today. My friends look at me funny and laugh....they could never understand her genius.
@Takver ...Well said reg the last post "So true So True" I really love RES she has a wonderful voice and an interesting and diverse style in music. This is my Fav song on the "How I DO" CD... Never stop singing RES and being YOU :) moe
@Takver Santo gold wrote most of her songs. I think res needs a good song writer. Her newer stuff doesnt have thee same flavor to it..... this was such a GREAT CD!
i been a fan of Res, this album and of this song for years, but not until tha thing with my ex did i really feel this song...tha last verse is so deep and real that its crazy how easy it is to relate to it.
It's so incredible that fucking garbage like brittany spers and american ideal contestents get played on the radio and other outlets yet Res gets no push at all.
how very very very tru...i calld a radio station to request this song....the Dj HAD NO IDEA WHO SHE WAS!!!!!!...i was like "and you calld ur self a Dj...Ha and Double Ha"
Listen to this song on her album, but when it's done, let it continue to play and you'll get a nice treat! There is another song called "Say it Anyway"!!!!
Women are harsh what do you expect , an unstable women is like a thorn in a mans side and a dagger in his heart. It enter's easily but it is very hard to take out.
My wife and I made love to this song two days after the album came out in '01. Of course we were just dating then. The "How I Do" album is damn near the soundtrack to our relationship.
This album is PURE MAGIC, everything about it. By far it is my favorite R&B album of all time, and maybe my favorite album of all time. I've burned a hole in the CD listening to it. God bless you Res!!!
This is one of my favorite songs. This and Let Love. This cd is truly one of those cds that you can just play start to finish. Just hop in the car and cruise with the window down. Feel good music I like to call it. Like Sade.
We have been conditioned to listen to crap on the radio...Our ears can't appreciate great music when we hear it. The lyrics and vocals are tight and the music is simply amazing. This song has the ability to put a person in space where one understands that it is better to have loved and lost love...than to have never loved at all.
I killed her CD during my 10th grade year... People always asked me who was I listening to. So many people dont know about her... [[smh]] This CD gave me great writings.
It is a crime that not a lot of people know about her, I still dont understand how a talent like that can just slip under radar and not get the recognition that it deserves. C R I M I N A L!
very special song.....reminds me of someone i knew in another life, another chapter. 143
