Yes! Was just listening to Byrd and happened to hear the sample towards the end of 'Think Twice'. Rewind a few seconds and you will hear the sample from Tribe Called Quest's 'Footprints'. Good ear!
when this came out, this made me think of a woman in my life. i would have given her the world if possible, just couldn't stop at flowers for her :( excuse me while my heart dies again.
@drummondbass maybe you should listen to phats & smalls that'll cheer you up! or even abit of pound boys OR EVEN TROUBLE MEN! DJ SNEAK! DJ PIERE! RHYTHM MASTERS! any of that will make you feel better ;)
Realllllllllllllllllllllll hOUSEeeeeeeee sheeeaatttttt!!! i remember JP ...factory black spirit...s and m party at roxy wtf lol.....his sickkkkkkkkkkkk halloween party at avalon wow.
BORis at crobar when JP sucked at spirit...hahahaha!!
Real house is all about the event now....the residencies died out...because real house died out....itll be back though ...for now its all about reminiscing!!!!
layin' on my bed listenin' to this, with some weed, smilin' cause the groove is so infectious, and waitin' to go out to the clubs and pubs to get some chicks...whatta time!
Was at Queen and Armand put this on before the record was released, all i was thinkin when I danced my arse of was. " Is this really Armand, this is freakin epic"....
True old school soulful house feel but the amazing thing is that it's relatively recent (Armand Van Helden)comparing to the 70's 80's early house. Like like listening to Eddie Kendricks afresh!
The lyrics are simple and repetitive but you can't beat that awesome old school groove.
I absolutely love this song. I first herad this song when I was going to this club called the Shadow and NYC. I had to buy 2 Vinyls because its just that fantastic. I miss this type of music. Thank you, thank you for posting.
@TheNaFun The track is not original, as a matter of fact its sped up the original artist is Donald Byrd - "Think Twice" about the five:30 mark where it changes at!
@PTTheLastTycoon ==lol its all g as long as u got internet access you can do wut it is u gots 2 do... lol cds are obsolete any hoo lol.. download it !!!! u dig and as for sticky who nabbed u/ it scratched for whom ever else tried to listen
@99mtro I appreciate this a lot. This song makes me appreciate the little things. The things that I as a man should not take for granted. Ladies, we really are willing to get a clue. Daffodils...we should never forget that they exist. Good lookin' out 99mtro.
I've been a friend of Armand's since '89. I will make sure to thank him for this one.
heard this at the bar tonight dj did not even know the guys name, typed it in a note and here i am. One of the most beautiful songs ever. GOTTA GET THAT GIRL THEM FLOWERS. They love it.
@Abner01234 I was one of the DJ's looking hard calling all over chicago new york for cuts, they dont know how good they have it these days, but will not trade it for none of this garbage of today
The part of the lyrics that is hard to hear: "I could have saved myself so much (f 'in) money" ...hate to burst any bubbles cause this is one SOULFUL track., but that is what is mumbled there.
I love how he builds it, then brings it downduring the speaking part and than dropps it again ar 7:50 peaking, real house Jam...thats the 2000 person climax in the club
o no question i used to think this song was by sylvester.....tantalized crowdz i was in....
