im addicted with this song!!!!!its very nice,,and i think black singers are the best singers!!no offend guys to all whites its just my own opinion!!!!
The only lady now to match Oleta's class is Leona, she is a lovely girl and says she will never pose naked...now that is class...Lady GaGa et al. is a good singer but disgrace as regards influencing young girls....
For all my 3rd MDSC guys still in the sandbox.......all my love and I miss all of you and pray everyday you get back to your families safe and sound...from Dr. Bogger
It is a beautifully composed piece, sung perfectly by a lovely woman. This song is hauntiing and sometimes difficult to listen to. 20 years ago I heard it while skiing in Vermont. I was instantly overwhelmed by longing for a young woman I'd begun dating weeks prior. She wasn't on the ski trip with me and my brother, I called her that evening and talked her into flying up. We had a great time and continued the relationship for a couple of months. Soon thereafter she died in a car accident.
This is what's wrong with popular music.. it's so "popular" in the juvenile junior high school sense. Adams never pranced on stage half-naked, never had a "wardrobe malfunction". She sings -- beautifully. And still doesn't seem to have the huge audience her talent merits.
Minha MÁRCIA, essa música tocou no dia 29/10/2009, em um dos momentos felizes que só você sabe me proporcionar. Acredite, TE AMO do fundo do meu coração...
ravenluc, you know a benosay, rhiainta, and keyshia out in cole songs deserve those kinds of comments! This is real music and real music deserves a real comment!
Yes, I agree with you BruSHyourselfOFF, tbh someone like today's Alex Burke could probably sing this well, but she would more than likely be dressed like a hooker to sing it. Shame..... back then women were taken for their talents, not bodies....
Ok, so essentially she is saying that short of being in ICU or in jail, you have no excuse for being separated from the one you love. However comma, doesn't it work both ways? Instead of sitting there dictating all of the voluminous ways in which he can arrive, why won't she take some initiative???
I'm not sorry about it. My opinion is that moving mountains and having a sense of urgency to be with someone theoretically ought to not be a one way street. This song is speaking from a singular point of view, and it leaves a an otherwise analytical person wondering. End of discussion on my end...
Doesn' t this video remind you of the musical era when women were still portrayed as respectable human beings instead of sex toys that should be objectified 24/7?
ocasionally, when everything in my life seems out of control and nothing makes sense,I always come back to this video, and there follows a perfect peace.Thankyou Oeta for blessing us with your wonderful talent.
This is me and my dads song<3 [comment on page 2--arthurahernandez] i love you dad. your my hero, best friend, and mostly the greatest dad. i love you very much. ill always be here.
Thank you sooo much for your comment...it meant alot to me...This Sunday will be eight years that my beautiful mother passed on...she is now dancing, and smiling in heaven...
when this song first came out with, my wife and I split up, my daughter was just a year old, when i was and wasn't with my daughter. when I heard this song I teared to be with my daughter, my confidence to be with her was done. Thanks Oleta. This has always been my song to Cassandra now 17yrs. I LOVE YOU< GET HERE IF CAN!!!! LOVE DAD.
they don't make 'em like oleta anymore. her voice is like no other; and 've never heard any voice like hers since the first i heard this classic over a decade ago. it is on of my top 10 of all times, no kidding!
No one today has the voices of Oleta, Phyllis and Stephanie. I turned top 40 off 10 years ago and have never looked back. I haven't out grown cartoons yet, just an industry that is cartoonish. Thanks for the video. I'm off to look for some other singers,maybe Freddy Jackson and Johnny Gill.
Brenda Russell. She's worked with Earth, Wind and Fire, Sting and other artists. The song itself has been used in Broadway productions and has been sung by various other artists.
I just saw her in concert in L.A. Wow what an amazingly talented singer and musician. She did songs from her new CD as well as the favorites. I love real singers.....
...Timeless, beautious & endearing. Do you suppose that Miss Oleta knew beforehand, How amazing this song would be or think it's effect would be so everlasting? Perhaps one of the tokens of greatness, even perhaps that of 'Legend.' No other could sing this great piece any better, undoubtedly. In a level of unsurpassed class...Miss Oleta is without dispute; Beautious, Spot-On & Adorable...I can only hope it's rewards has touched her as it has so many of us...
Awesome singing! Beautiful song! It makes me cry whenever I listen to it, because it reminds me of a friend who lives across the country and I wish he was closer to me. Beautiful singing!
It's haunting-but it should be the Army (Military) spouse Anthem. I remember hearing it while my husband was deployed to Iraq for the 2nd time-I sang it ALL the time. Tears just rolled-and they do now-3 years after his return. Beautiful-and it just says how we feel while they are gone. GET HERE if you can (safely, of course)!
my dance teacher renee did a lyrical dance in our recital in june 2008
it was awesome and this is a really good song only renee danced to a different version. a male singer sang the version that she danced to and frankly, it was better than this
The first time I heard this song I cried like someone swiped the last oreo and I still had a glass of milk. It still effects me the same way. This is one of the most beautiful and touching songs ever... anyone who has a love separated by miles knows this song hits the nail on the head. I don't care how you get here, but get here if you can.
Oleta's eyes are incomparably beautiful, this song has the best video of her especially the scene in the blue room. The entire "Circle of One" album is very underrated - buy it and listen to the songs on some lonely ole night - you'll know what I mean.
When I first heard this song I went crazy. I just love this song and this woman, you can tell she feels passionate about this song she seems to sore with each chord
