  • didnt know about him until yesterday and i like this song its amazing. im about to look out some of his other stuff

  • Even just the lyrics can make you shed a tear, then factor in the vocal delivery from bilal and the brilliant back drop of Robert Glasper and you have one of the most beautiful songs

  • Ok this song is about as close as you can get to PERFECTION!!!

  • Simply brilliant!

  • Thsi is my shiiitttttt "All Matters".

  • I went to the Robert Glasper Experiment show in Tokyo the other week, excellent. I just love how he breaks off at a tangent and kinda "does his own thing" in a completely different key and tempo. Then comes back 5 mins later to join the rest of the group.

  • REAL MUSIC

    

  • Beautiful song!!!!!

  • I truly love this song!!!....Great job Glasper & Experiment, & Bilal!!!

  • Ill be putting out a cd soon everyone stay tuned...

  • @wisething62...yes, this man would be a contemporary to Monk if he were alive...I should know...my uncle is the last of the living legends (aka Rollins).

  • This song is so lovely in any form, but this!! Glasper makes it so rich and adds a different, enhancing layer to it.

  • Is this jazz?

  • I found this song for the first time about a year ago... Rediscoveries are so wonderful.

  • I love this song!!!!

  • who was the retard that disliked this???

  • @Mccritical80 Probably a freakin' Justin Bieber fan (lol) what a prick huh?

  • So I definitely played this four times back to back and have no intentions on stopping anytime soon.....Robert Glasper and Bilal are excellent musicians who have created a tremendous jazzy-yet-soulful piece of life shortened into 6:38 ....

  • Chicago....I will be in the building for The Experience on lift status.

  • well done, thought provoking... 

  • some freak pushed the dislike button by accident. wrong.

  • I am really interested in the lyrics and song..I love the word and it is so meaningful to me...Yeah, exactly..inspirational to me~ Can somebody tell me what is the time signature in this songs?

  • @Jazzyjune06 Honestly...it's in 4:4....it just has Chris Daddy Dave on set....so he hears (and plays) in all time signatures...at the same time...lmao

  • @Jazzyjune06 i think it's in 8/12...its pretty confusing though haha

  • BILAL OLIVER on vocals...hello.

  • I'm in love with this song! True beauty comes from the heart, as you can hear. =o)

  • This piece of music is wonderful with Bilal on vocals it's amazing. i can't stop myself from listening to it. I wish I could hear this version live. The piano blows you away. Then the lyrics put you back together again...

  • Goodness...

  • love it (such an understatement)

  • been on repeat for about a year *__*

  • Commercial,pop,varitées KILLER.

    Excelent !

  • This is so smooth and funky and relaxing. Bilal and Robert beckon me to sing along each time I hear this song...this is simply amazing music.

  • bilal you are respected and LOVED

  • Love this song

  • This is pure passion, strictly grown folks music!!!

  • I sang this song Sunday night with my band and almost cried, this shit is hot

  • this is toooo aweesome... love it.

  • What are the lyrics after the line: What is love, what is it? I can't quite make them out. Thanks.

  • @jazzerkris cool on the outside, hot in the middle, cool on the outside, hot in the middle, you ain't even gotta try, all you gotta do is realize

  • @jazzerkris "cool on the outside, hot in the middle....you aint even gotta try"

  • Wonderful tribute...love the music, the artist, my fav genre, and love JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT at 6:29!

  • beautiful shit

  • savršeno!!! <3

  • wow, this song is soooooooo grown up chilled it's unreal....

    what a sublime piece of harmonic elegance...I feel automatically richer from listerning to it once, let alone for the rest of my days...

    danke

  • So where would one candidly hear 'the experiment (glasper)' in NY? nyc radio needs to step it's game up ...

  • WHERE CAN I PICK UP HIS MUSIC FROM??? I'M IN PHILLY SO...PLS ADVISE///

  • one of the best songs i'Ve ever heard..this is fucked progress...love.

  • Is this Bilal?

  • @iqeman23 Yes, it's said in the booklet that he wrote the song

  • now this is what i call music. Not too much music on the mainstream that makes you feel like you just had an experience when you listen to it. It says something when a song makes you get a funny, but good feeling one the inside. This is one of those songs for me. Great musicianship!!

  • Yes! Very strong/beautiful collection of images to complement this magical music.

  • yes

  • Robert Glasper Graduated from my high school!! HSPVA in Houston Tx... Love him to death, I've see him live a few times and he was insane each time

  • sighs! soulchalista posted this on her site last year...Bilal performed this during a sound check for a show he was doing and she just so happened to have a blurry video recording, but I watched everyday just to hear this so. I have no words for this...its just brilliant! beautiful

  • *to hear this song*

  • I hope an instrumental duet with Stevie Wonder on harmonica

  • Just wanted to thank Goylesk for sharing this with me. I find this music profoundly compelling to say the least.

  • Amazing!!!! Thank You for posting this. This is JUST SO SPECIAL IT BOGGLES THE MIND WHY POPULAR RADIO SOUNDS THE WAY IT DOES

  • Fans of this album be sure to delve into Glasper's back log of albums on Blue Note his 1st Canvas & In My Element are great. Also the Bonnaroo live set is awesome! The trio are God like. Glasper is a Jazz GOD.

    Chris Dave is sheer Brilliant and an innovative drummer with a original sound & feel. Vicente Archer is a soild groove meister offering rock soild support. Check out these fantastic young jazzers.

  • omg!!! I heard Bilal sing this at the Blue note and I wanted it so bad. I didn't know it was actually recorded. At the time he was singing it out of his song notebook. uhh Love it!

  • I hear a kinda "Umi Says" Drum pattern ,.but mostly I'm hearing Modern ass Chris Dave Drumming!!

    this!

    and it's nominated for a grammy! go robert & bilal!!!

  • No words... just beautiful

  • if you like this please support and buy these artists records and songs. the singer, bilal, a genius musician in his own right is stuck in a record industry that doesn't know how to market him properly. his last album, an r&b masterpiece was shelved. this is a blight on humanity where 95% of commercial music is fit for the garbage dump. keep it coming bilal!!!!

  • @SoundOfGoldRecords Could anyone write the lyrics... I really love this song, can't help it, but have listened it over and over again...and again and again....

  • @tasoul mee too, I am in a trance, its so realistic yet surreal

  • @SoundOfGoldRecords everything you said is genius.

  • @SoundOfGoldRecords word up!!!

  • wow this is my first time hearing this song. Very impressive. so glad it's nominated for a grammy this year.

  • beautifu tribute...nicely paced. glasper and chris dave are the truth!!!

  • PHENOMENAL!!!

  • This was the last song that was played at a party in LA that I attended...oh wow! EVERYONE, including myself was on the dancefloor cutting up, LOL! I love the message...very spiritual and moving (my opinion).

    We were all one that night :)

  • nice..

  • Song of 2009 for sure!

  • unlikely to comment usually i gotta say one time, youtube got richer through ur upload. this is my song of the year. thanks.
