[Larryjn1]

Nice video and song..... This is "REAL MUSIC!!!"

[sasiomendes]

hot group...they make great music...nicolays production is on anada level yal!!

[RobaEterna]

bellissima. respect from rome, italy.

[jay4life1]

yea the person that didnt like this track really dont know music this is true music right here im from nyc but was driving in oakland when i first heard it there pretty gd

[cmeltontayns]

Im upset that I'm so late getting hipped to FE, but this song definitely puts me in a good mood, I Love it!

[alchimistable]

incredible...LEGEND-wait for it- musically

[Prinzess26]

3 years later i'm still two-stepping...

[msmakemeup]

baby makin music!!!!!

[uptash]

4 people get no S.E.X.

[stephfonjones0]

[TheRevoSupremo]

4 people accidentally missed the "Like" button.

[taross78]

This is a dope track!

[obatron1]

Classic material.

[BrizzyisTheKing]

4 people are crips

[uptash]

@BrizzyisTheKing hahaha u a fool!

[jay4life1]

i was in oakland when i first heard this driving over the g.g.b loved it ever since this song is worth playing just like the mighty underdogs

[ouiyenchaswald]

i find it really interesting that 4 people dislike this..

i would really like to hear why..

it seems interesting...

why????

[Sliminal74]

I never heard of this group before until the other day when I saw the video for this song on vh-1 soul. I went out the next day and bought all their albums. I am hooked this is Grown Folks music! This is real R&B not this foolishiness these kids are listening to these days!

[cuzitsnecessary]

@Sliminal74 R&B like this doesn't exist anymore. If so music like Badu, Sade, etc would still be getting more crossover play. If anything the music is more rhythm and has the annoying sounds of autotunes to help save records now. It's like anyone can walk themselves into the music business as long as you can dance like a sailor and have sex appeal the music industry can make you a star and real artists get shelved? It's nonsense that's why I hardly turn on my radio b/c 70% of it is crap!

[75crooklyn]

@Sliminal74 I just saw da video on VH-1 soul too! Lol! I had to add dis song to my "Crazy Sexy Cool" playlist!!! Definitely grown folk music! So sick of da nonsense played on da air waves too....UGH!!! Smh!

[revbradshaw]

Just heard this song (instrumental version) on Pandora.com and immediately fell in love with it. This is great music!! It's got to go on my iPod.

[TheSuperman215]

Pure good music. Plan and simple.

[ReddiProductions]

I LOVE this song!

[asianiis]

Love this jam...and love to rock out to the instrumental version...open your minds people and listen to something different!!

[ljcking]

Great CD--I grabbed every song from Emusic.

Why no air play?

[TheRock7Time]

Music can't get any more wonderful then this, if so then you must be from heaven

[scienz0220]

i like the beat at the end of the track, its real funky

[MrGoldfangaz49]

I likes this track.

[DanDaMan2794]

3:34-4:07 wtf? This jam was tight and then... what the hell just happened

[1803Denise]

Showwwww

[megaman0541]

Why do this sucker-dj's dont play this song in the clubs here in germany? Thats a shame! Everbody who knew the track, would go crazy!!! Awesome Track!

[danigirl562]

Come closer babe.....that's my favorite part lol

[dangelique1]

This is the ultimate jam! Love this song and never get tired of hearing it! Phonte, Nicolay and D-Brock are doing it!

[britstar2871]

this is such a sunset over the city song. :)

[superwomanjones]

Loooooove it!!!!!!

[tonygriffin70]

OMG this track is the living end. The person who gave this a thumbs down knows where that thumb is STUCK!! Do your homework, eat your dinner, and go to bed before the boogie man comes to get you!! This IS music!!

[9to5not2010]

@tonygriffin70 You will NEVER make EVERYBODY happy. Some people just like to click "dislike" for no reason. Just like idiots that start viruses for no reason. Just haters.

[badandy8888]

Who said they don't make good music anymore???

[Nerdbama]

This is classic music......

[bigwoodse874]

my favorite song on this album! love all the pieces(Phonte, Nicolay, etc) but the collective of TFE is special:) Hope they get their due!

[dzire08]

I heard this thanx to lastFM. Great track, love the teddy pendergrass sample.

[mz81babi]

love this song from the 1st time i heard it!!

[mz81babi]

love this song from the 1st time i heard it!!!

[ToTzIK]

I heard this song today while i was getting my haircut lol...sick song lol

[Blacknificent1]

I just want to thank u Ipfan091989 for posting this music!! I am a huge music fan and I haven't been this inspired in a long time by "soul stirring" melodies, lyrics, and incredible production from FE. I have always been a fan of Phonte, LB, and the Justus League. I had briefly heard of FE but didn't know that I would be this blown away!! I will support any and everything they put out. I will subscribe to your YT site. Keep up the great music posts. "ONE LOVE"

[BrownStarChick15]

Who's the freak that 'disliked' this?! And there's only ONE too. What is this.

[mystro15]

wow.. invigoration

[xTosinx]

Beautiful =) <3

[sirtaylor604]

Been down wit FE Since Connected, Both albums are must haves!

[Redninja777]

First off, I would like to thank you for uploading this wonderful piece of music to youtube to educate those out there who are wondering what real music is, and I would like to thank all the people who see this as good music...keep the good, soulful music alive!

[Marquiedee]

I love this music! Y'all need to come to Shreveport, LA but until then, I will be @ the Dallas show in september. I came across this group listenin to my pandora radio in my blackberry. This music was related to dwele so thats how I heard about FE bout a month ago and I told my band and my friends.

[london06]

@Marquiedee Is this Marquis

[danigirl562]

whoever gave this a thumbs down is on some bullshit.. this is the jam and the foreign exchange is the bomb.

[emf112]

Bad day at work. came home to find a house in chaos. was in a horrible mood. i went into my office (to escape for a sec), turned on pandora and this song popped up. i sat back closed my eyes and zoned out completely only to find my beautiful wife in the room and my two small children boppin their heads. we felt terrific and unified. we made dinner, cleaned the house read stories and then went to bed (all in our bed)... thank you foriegn exchange for rerouting us into a place of peacefulness.

[tkc22280]

Just trying to figure out who was the person who gave this a thumbs down...yeah somebody that can't appreciate REAL MUSIC.....that ish on the radio is GARBAGE! Foreign Exchange...thank you for keeping real music alive. Who gives a damn if they don't get air time...people wouldn't appreciate anyway. Thank you lpfan091989 for positing this... I truly appreciate it!

[lpfan091989]

@tkc22280 No problem. +FE is real music. The radio for the most part plays garbage, in my opinion.

[djprofyle]

@lpfan091989 Agreed. I can't even stand listening to the radio anymore. The music on the radio is horrible!

[stokelycarm]

@tkc22280 everybody is different, there will always be people that dislike a particular thing...

[rainmosq]

@tkc22280 "air time" ... that's FUNNY! Who listens to the 'radio' anymore?? I found them through soma.fm, and I've hooked a lot of friends & family since. It's the new way to spread 'the love', and anyone giving a thumbs down obvious hit the wrong button by mistake. ^^

[grolla23]

@tkc22280 I know this comment is a year old but I agree with you man.

[truewrkofart]

I adore this song..it just sends me to a new place. Simply Beautiful....

[blackmad01]

i never knew even existed till yesterday this is a good song

[kobi628]

mmm

[parentaladvisory121]

I got this album and it comes with the instrumental album.

[MsJadico]

this song is mad tight

[mcneilall]

FE music is an acquired sound..i know many that love their music and some that dont like it b/c it's not your typical r&b..just embrace the music and open your minds b/c their music is THE TRUTH!

much respect to all my fellow FE fans!

[Capricorn23Hearts]

One of my fav groups right now hands down

[markalisman]

F.E has definitely brought an instinctive type of style towards neo-soul/soul & r&b.. they've brought some of hottest soul swagg to the neo-soul game..

kill em continuously phonte!

[Tonyblue83]

I will forever love this song

[EKMensah]

ooowee arrd

[DJJohndice]

Why do I smell great samples in this song? ;)

[MaineCypherelli]

This is what R&B should sound like! I can hear someone like Dwele on this track as well.

[mthatbeme]

I might be a little late to the game b/c I recently found out abou the F.E and they are FIRE. Better late than never. I concur with ptua8

[ptua8]

i LOVED this album man!...so inspiring to see that a person doesnt have to be limited to on style of music!Phonte is the living proof of that!this beat killed me straight! F.E. is one of the best groups out there..PERIOD!!peace

[jwrightsd]

The Foreign Exchange is just one of those groups that are very diversified in music and talent. It is such a pleasure to sit back have a good session of listening pleasure. And I truly enjoy listening to them on the regular...

[MrSeablitz]

This is one of those songs that makes you forget about your trail and tribulations and just kick back and enjoy life. Pure soul music. BTW, Nicloay is a beast on the boards!!!! Great music!!!!!

[BeauFosho05]

Go Phonte!!!

[Whitwhit313]

this is real music soul run through this song the first time i heard dis song i was in love with it..it has that nice blues feel too... :-) they r way underated

[louis199754]

[lilmissebbz116]

I thought I was the only 17 year old that liked real r&b. Lalah, Ledisi, and many others. I am  feeling this joint hardbody though

[teejay4273]

I'm feeling this joint! Saw the video on VH1 Soul.

[Chalo77]

2 secs were enough to dig into this song...

[shyboy04]

D-BROCK!!!

[DaAngel0111]

[DanDaMan2794]

[ljcking]

Heard about the Grammy nod. Well deserved.

[m1sstee23]

Thanks to pandora I found out about them.

[MsLesha85]

I found them on pandora too, so glad I did, i'm hooked.

[mango4u85]

Greetings..... all The way from England....I Just had to leave a comment about the song... thanks to BET I now know great music still exists. 5*****

[mahadabdi24]

Now this is my first time hearing of these group. I am loving this song. SO chill music

[lpfan091989]

There is plenty more where that came from. How did you end up watching the foreign exchange? Did a friend tell you about them?

[mahadabdi24]

yea actually a friend told me about them yesterday sent me this link.

[lpfan091989]

Awesome. Your friend has great taste. haha. Check out my channel, I have their albums on there. Support great music, you may find this album at your local Best Buy. I find it at mine.

[lukecardiel]

@mahadabdi24 two words "Little Brother" look them up the guy singing is from that group

[tumeka1979]

I turned my mom onto them! LOL!

[YUNGONNA1]

Nicolay And Phonte best duo

[str8toff]

i love this song the instrumental goes so hard

[7dontyouknow7]

I have not taken time out to hear all of Foreign's album, but I do have this song and love it. It fits perfectly in with my cat. of mellow electronica-classics that I still love to listen to.

[WhatTheWorld]

that beat at the end is fiiii-yerrrrr...like the 80's kids incorporated theme lol...or some nintendo fight game....

[natewifi]

You still haven't told me what that bad at the end was. I'm insinuating that may you please tell me what song it's of.

[lpfan091989]

Relax, some of the comments don't show up in my inbox. To answer your question, the end is part of the song, its not part of another song or whatever. It doesn't really connect to the next track, "All or nothing / coming home to you"

[rwmaynard219]

Nicolay is off the hook!!!! I believe he is one of the top beat makers out there now! He has his own style which makes him stand out.

[natewifi]

Woah wait a dag on second. Is the foreign exchange nicolay and kay's new group name? Because your avatar is of what looks to be of the fantastic beat creator nicolay. Have you heard Dutch Masters vol.1? It's astonishing to say the least. It's old but yeah that's the last I know about them.

[lpfan091989]

What? No. That's not their name. They never had a name. The picture was a picture some fan had created for him on myspace. It had has nothing to do with a song. Yeah, I've heard of Dutch Masters Vol. 1, I do have a couple songs uploaded from it.

[natewifi]

What about the beat at the end? What does it connect to? I really wanna hear it.

[natewifi]

Woah what the heck is that beat at the end? It's so vicious I just love tell me what it is or yeah reply cuz I really wanna hear the rest of that amazing beat.

[wave0730]

ヤバいぜ

[flyhighin2009]

This gives me a natural high when I'm in my loft in Manhattan i love that shit sitting with that sexy female man thats real music its in my top 5

[Sydii1]

Stan Graham's trumpet solo just puts the cherry on top of the icing for me on this song.

[Sydii1]

it just doesnt get bigger then this. Real Music from people that keep it real. Damn.

[lebron4]

Love this song

[DV63147]

i just heard this song on the radio like an hour ago...love D Brock!!

[Marakulous43]

You heard this on radio??? WHERE???

[DV63147]

here in St. Louis, theres a show that comes on Saturdays from 7-9 pm called "Soulternative" and its all neo/progressive/alternative soul

[eperry2011]

neo-soul at it's finest...the foreign exchange - go nc! :-)

[MarcEAllen]

Oh so lovely....Thank you for this blessing of musical inspiration for the ear piece....1Love and Peace

[rtoriq]

miiiiiiighhht as wellllllll

come a lil closer

*closing eyes and jammin in my seat*

[shirzelle]

LOVE IT

[libelulaalbinadellib]

Yeeeee i love this

[changkeejazz]

real nice

[98BrownSugar]

I love this song. Now this is REAL music. I am so glad that BET J played this video Neo - Soul is so so sweet , real and relaxing it takes me to a place that I can go to in my mind when I am not able to get away physically.

[patrickmcmahon]

that's the only place you need to go

[robinsthicke22]

Some people have immature ears

[Jahkuz01]

i first heard it on BETJ

massive tune.. i swear to god

the channel plays beautiful soul music

Big ups to neo soul

[kibooluvsu]

from 2:06 to 2:27..i dig it much more

[natewifi]

That part sounds like a cooking show opening theme.

[likenumber23]

Who cares if this doesn't get air time..

..those dumbasses listening to the radio are content with what they are getting and don't bother searching for other dudes besides these fags like Wayne, Soulja Girl, Drake.. who all just talk about the same shit over and over.

So drop it, as long as we are exposed to this it's all good.

Believe me, I've tried showing my friends all these groups and individuals I listen to, but they just can't appreciate it and prefer all those other disgraces

[Sydii1]

me and you both. I have tried sharin music like this with my friends but they all would rather listen to these fake ass peoples put here.

[prospectboy]

Man I agree with you on that. Couldn't have said it better.

[records1990]

man....finally some good music. i didnt know music like this was still being made. how refreshing!! instant fan here!!

[ferrarimontana]

aw man this song is perfect they didnt even register on the soundscan thats messed up

[nicolerenee7]

Oh man this is nice.

[size15shoe]

Smoother than cake icing..

I still have no idea how music like this gets NO air play, but all of that garbage ass, asinine bullshit is being played on a regular basis. Fuck the radio son..

[NeighborhoodRockStar]

This is the smoothest song I have heard all year...

[emf112]

I feel refreshed after listening to this joint... more more more....

[TheeCentaur9]

It's like getting your thirst quenched after being dehydrated !

[virgopowers]

ME Too !!!! emf112 i love this whole album!!! it gives me joyful chills!

[KeepinItStr8Funky100]

I swear if everybody listened to this type of music, people would be a little more nice, more affectionate, there would be less battling of the sexes. This song is soooo peaceful.

[stonaboytellem03]

exactly and im a yung nigga but i still agree

[TooSlower]

there's no way u could get a gangbang on this song. so if any station local club or whatever spins tracks like these. J dilla's, mf doom stuff, Foreign exchange and stuff like jay electronica.

[blakbeauty23]

AGREED KeepitFunky!!! This is such a beautiful and peaceful song!! def. an Instant Classic for me!! I play it on my way 2 work everyday since I got it!!

[Simus1974]

i love this...a true party starter!!!

[rollituphomie]

Phonte an Nicolay are dynamic....5/5

[Kognitive]

This that shit right here, i had my mom grooving to this, she's like 60 something years old

[freerunRobinson]

These guys are on a different planet....absolute pure talent....

[sweetcherry4282]

I was at a friend's house and he played this song. I was so in awe of the beat and how mellow it was. This song just spoke to my spirit. Keep this good music coming.

[Scathe8000]

so so pure...

[jubez87]

i LOVE this song!

[Bjchilds14]

This song is the fullest!

[bigdog734]

I need this joint for my ballroomers & steppers.

[shenell9]

I FREAKIN LOVE THIS

[lpfan091989]

check out the instrumental that i recently posted.

[Lashett]

This is sooo chill!

[kofisizz22]

HOW IN THE HELL DOES 50 cent OUT SELL THIS?!?!?! WORLD HAS GONE NUTTS!!

[b1bby707]

Commercialism. FE makes music for the love of it, not for the money. Plus... 50,000 dedicated fans are a lot better than 10,000,000 dick riders.

[EJmimi]

+1. It calms me a lot.

[MakeItHotDC]

i just got home from seeing them in concert in dc tonite... and i love them even more now that i saw them live. they're official!

[AquariusDancer]

Nice

[blacktophustla]

Beautiful

[brothercool72]

YEP THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING BOUT .

[AquariusDancer]

I like this kind of music !

[QShawty45]

this song is soothing

[shtroke]

chillllllssss

[hydexxxxx]

:D

YEA~

[YouBetterRRRecognize]

Beautiful!!!

[peaceluvNnappinness]

my fav track on the album!!! smooth...MM gotta love foreign exchange. They deserve so much more love.

[tribefreak]

This track is now a free download of the week on ITunes, so hopefully the publicity will get the word around how great this group is.

[lpfan091989]

wow, i just looked it up and saw that too. I hope it helps the group become more popular, they deserve it. thanks for the spreading the word.

[VickNo3]

They dont get the attention they deserve.....this album is truely great.

[stonaboytellem03]

yes it is thats tha radio 4 ya always destroying music

[sinclair1420]

Smooth As A Sunday Morning Drive...

[timjfsu1]

Wow...speechless on this right here. It's hype but yet mellow a perfect balace!

[lilsharkhunter]

Soundtrack to the best dream you've ever had.

[Lashett]

I agree, so soothing

As much asit hurts me to say this..I dont like Phonte on this song.

When i hear Phonte sing on his songs then fine...I mean, on songs like 'Speed' and stuff... But when its Darien Brockington singing, I WANT TO HEAR HIM SING!!! Phonte kinds spoils the mood wheh the pair sing duo...like on 'Call' and 'Come Around' AND a lot other songs they have done together

IT HURT ME TO WRITE THIS!
