This album was released when Stevie Wonder was 26. I can't think of anyone who could create something this amazing at 26 or at any other age. Truly brilliant!
I've had a crap day today, so tomorrow I am going to dance my heart out to this. Love this one-so uplifting. Going to be positive although had some tears today. Thanks for this.
im fifteen years old and i love lil wayne drake and all those other rappers. my favorite genre is hiphop. i dont like old artist but i heard this song and " As Always" , i fell in love ! i LOVE this song and i LOVE stevie wonder <3
He's the best of the best. He sees more than the sighted. How can anyone say anything bad about this man. I was blessed to be able to see him twice in concert.
"Did you know that true love asks for nothing"? Steve Wonder
Every time I listen to this song, I can't help but get up ,dance and turn into a wild beast of an animal! It strikes the primal chord in all of us! How animalistic!
This song can definately stand alone, no doubt. But taken as a whole when you first listen to "As" and then this you get the full message. "As" is about a never ending cosmic love and then it's followed by "Another Star". A cosmic celebration of a love lost. The same love sung about in "As". Why is it a celebration? Because it should be. You should take all the good you felt in the everlasting love and continue it. It can only help you when you ready to love agian. The GENIUS of Stevie Wonder :)
Lyrics (part 2) Oh oh for you Love might bring a toast of wine But with each sparkle know the best of you, I pray oh for you Love might be for you divine But I will celebrate a love of yesterday So long ago my heart without demanding Informed me that no other love could do But listen did I not know understanding I fell in love with one who would break my heart in two Oh oh oh for you There might be another star But through my eyes the light of you is all I see LOVE STEVIE
Lyrics (part 1) La la la la la la la la la la (x 4) For you - there might be a brighter star But through my eyes the light of you is all I see For you - there might be another song But all my heart can hear is your melody So long ago my heart without demanding Informed me that no other love could do But listen did I not know understanding I fell in love with one who would break my heart in two cont/....
Can anybody touch Stevie Wonder? Don't think so! EVERY song off this album touches you. You either on your feet dancing or hand held to your chest from the onslaught of emotion.
This was my hidden treasure from the Songs from the Key of Life. I would not let the Album rest until I heard this and made everyone see that this was actually the 'star' of that great, great album. It is so melodic with beautiful lyrics not to mention tempo. I tell ya, Stevie is truly genius and has never done a song that I didn't like. Bless him. And thanks for posting.
Just refering to her style not comparing her as an artist like too many people do now days. Listen to early Mary and then the part on Another Star when Stevie drags "So Long ago my heart without demanding."
geweldige artiest.vind het altijd zo ontzettend knap hoe iemand zo een goed nummer kan componeren en met zoveel emotie uitvoert.krijg er kippenvel van en een brok in mijn keel.supermuziek!!!
Nearly identical bass backbone as Santana's "TOUSAINT L'OVERTURE" from Santana III LP in early '70s. Not so much in first couple minutes of the Santana song, but at the 3:42 mark of it you'll start to hear it through to the end.
Darth you type anyway you want, it's YOUR thing. Anybody that does not like it don't read it. What land of the free until it up sets you? PLAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
aw man, im bout to cry... my mom would play this whole album on road trips to go see my grandmother.... im so glad she raised me on classics like this so that now that im 19 i can appreciate real music myself...
WHO disliked this SONG? Who doesn't know true music, love, talent and undeniable originality when they hear it? You all absolutely need some sense smacked into your tiny skulls.
This song is beautiful and genius beyond description. This whole album is complete bliss to the soul. Stevie Wonder is an absolute inspiration and musical prodigy. I'll make sure my kids, grand kids and God willing, great-grand kids KNOW this man! And appreciate him.
I never heard a song that is so swinging(for lack of a better word)and at the same time brings tears to your eyes.By far the best Stevie Wonder song,as far as I am concerned.
@Garrotte123 thank you and the other people that responded in a similar way. It seems such an old fashioned word,but I really cant think of a more modern term........and you really dont want it to end! Have a lovely holiday time!
@hildaatje With all due respect, Stevie doesn't have a best song. Its impossible to single out one song as the best from his body of work. But everyone can have a favourite.
@BrittanyNBrooklyn Even Steven Wonder listens to hiphop music.There is good music in every genre of music.As well as bad.To say there is no good Hip Hop music is extremely short sighted IMHO.With that being said you obviously have the right to listen to what you want to.But what is the point in saying you don't listen to HipHop?Are you supposed to be listening to HipHop just because you're a "Black Female" in Brooklyn?You didn't say you don't listen to Blue Grass,or Punk Rock.Y diss HipHop?
@BrittanyNBrooklyn You're not alone. When I was 17 back in '98, I listened to everything Stevie ON VINYL. I was probably the only one in my class who did so. I just wish I knew a girl back then who liked Stevie.
Those was some WONDERFUL years even though I was just a kid and didnt understand the joy of this music. Now I know and dont care for the new stuff because there was nothing wrong with the old stuff and Im happy.
I was 12 years old when I was given this album as a Birthday gift. It was my first album and I was in love with Stevie Wonder! I played this album everyday after school and I knew the words to all of the songs. I dreamed of singing this song with Stevie wonder in one of his concerts! I still pray that my wish comes true!!!!!
@BrittanyNBrooklyn you are not the only one :P lots of people love this song thats your age I'm 28 and I love this song and old music will always be the best.
Stevie Wonder. What a statement, I believe the highest mentality in the entire universe listens to this genius. I wish more artists were available with talent such as Stevie Wonder. I have enjoyed Stevie since the 60's. Live long and love much, Stevie, we love you.
For a great funky latin dance version of this check out 'dimitri from paris-outro lugar' its a fantastic tribute and wont besmirch the good name of Stevie. Btw did you hear about the scarecrow who got promoted? he was outstanding in his field..boom boom !
I hated this friggin song in the fall of 1976; what a depressing joint to listen to around 8:00am on the way to school when i was a fourth grader in Garland Tx when i had to stay after school everyday for being disruptive [talking]. Go to hell miss Jones wit your fat ass!!! Lol!!!!
This songs cuts like a knife. The lyrics are so pure, honest and true. I know couse I've lived these lyrics. I know what it feels like to love someone like this. And I truly feel ya Stevie... a classic song from a classic album.
I went to a concert that was unadvertised in 1979 thanks to a dear friend and stevie performed with the 100 piece Black philarmonic orchestra. He introduced the secret life of plants album. I made the statement that before I die I wanted to see him in concert. It was the mostest, bestest concert I've ever attended. Can you imagine a 100 piece orchestra. I'm still shaking my head at Stevie Wonder blessed gift from God.
MY STEP FATHER INTROUDUCE ME TO STEVIE...WHEN I WAS LIKE 6 OR 7 (IM 30 NOW) MY MOTHER LIKED STEVIE BUT DIDNT HAVE ALOT OF HIS ALBUMS SHE LIKED PRINCE AND MICHAEL JACKSON MORE MY STEP FATHER WAS A STEVIE AND MARVIN FAN HENCE MY TOP 4 ARTIST OF ALL TIME LOL I KNEW I LIKED STEVIE BUT I ONLY KNEW THE RADIO STEVIE...MY FRESHMAN YEAR IN COLLEGE I BOUGHT "AT THE CLOSE OF A CENTURY" A BOX SET OF STEVIE'S MUSIC AND FELL IN LOVE AFTER STUDYING THAT I LEARNED WHAT REAL MUSIC IS...THIS CRAP NOW CANT COMPARE
@BrittanyNBrooklyn Right on , girl....!! it is great to see someone your age who KNOWS good music when they hear it. I am 59 years old and wish they still released stuff like this................
@drumsyeah I don't think anyone is capable to release anything like this anymore. Back then, musician were true artist, like a picasso or bethoven. Today's music......don't want to comment, would be too rude. We were just lucky to be part of this era, Peace out!
This was recorded back in the day before they could take a drum track and loop it into a repeat. The drummer had to have it together for the entire track or one mis-beat could mean having to do the whole thing over! These were REAL musicians who worked hard, unlike many "musicians" today who rely heavily on electronic loops and distortions.
How true.... Real musicians making real music instead of this "canned" crap we get today. Remember that this was a live recording session with a studio full of musicians. Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH THIS CD COST....I WILL PAY FOR IT. "SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE" IS NOT JUST A CD IT IS A UNIVERSAL MESSAGE...TAKE HEED! IT IS MANDATORY THAT I KEEP AT LEAST TWO COPIES OF IT IN MY COLLECTION
Thank you so much for uploading all these songs!!! Stevie Wonder is my favorite artist, after Michael Jackson. And as Michael said for Stevie: "To me he's a musical prophet"...
@wh1pmyha1r yes, i am aware of that, and i did not mean to intentionally disclude it from my comment. but it's his singing that has always really got too me. singing comes from within without any type of prop used to aid it. i wonder if singing comes from the heart, mind, soul, or spirit? what do you think?
I remember when this came out; didn't realize just how special it was, there was so much good music in the late 60s and 70s -- just a very creative period with many musical geniuses. Thanks Stevie for the memories!
...questa canzone sarà sempre per me ricordo di una serata bellissima, ballare sotto la pioggia all'arena di verona con la sua musica è stato FANTASTICO. Grazie Stevie per le tue canzoni....
Talk about a stress reliever, boy if I wasn't at work right now I'd be dancing all over the place-this is piece of music is out of this world.. The true Musician is really a gift from God, there has not been that many in my lifetime, Stevie Wonder(ful) has got to be at the top of the list (along with my boy Michael of course). To be able to create such masterpiece of musicianship is truly magical. This is happy , joyful music at it's finest, God Bless Stevie Wonerful- a magician of sound
It was a golden age for song writers. It's no surprise to me anymore to see present generation kids' jaws drop hearing what they thought was going to be "old people's music" and they're immediately hooked. They start saying how there's nothing like this today, and they're right.
why can't we have more music like this...i'm tired of all the crap we have these days that isn't even real music, this is the true 'heaven' of music what we have now is the 'hell' of music
@middle327 You should find a way to get the whole album then. There isn't one song in the two album set that isn't as close to perfection as one could possibly hope to get.
Sincerely, 'That Dude' [President of the anti-Ghetto Space Music Association]
Tripping in 1980. I made my pal for the night watch the ceiling light spin and listen to Songs In The Key of Life and proclaimed Stevie Wonder--God. Lol! He probably had something else in mind.
THANK GOD this song is 8 minutes long,for my mind can go on a wonderful journey that only mr.wonder can send me.by far one of the greatest performers/artists of all time!
check out jupiterism.blogspot.com for info on the chess game of the music business, bothsides the independent and those not and up and coming artist who believe in ther own creative freedom

@thezaylady Ah, but they dont do the things musicans today do. Electronic musicans mix and master their own music, and compose it too.
Electronic and acoustice music are both lovely, why fight? Stevie wouldn't

@thezaylady Not exactly true. Stevie was a pioneer in many areas, also in exploring different possibilities in the studio.

Thank you so much for uploading all these songs!!! Stevie Wonder is my favorite artist, after Michael Jackson. And as Michael said for Stevie: "To me he's a musical prophet"...

@wh1pmyha1r yes, i am aware of that, and i did not mean to intentionally disclude it from my comment. but it's his singing that has always really got too me. singing comes from within without any type of prop used to aid it. i wonder if singing comes from the heart, mind, soul, or spirit? what do you think?

I remember when this came out; didn't realize just how special it was, there was so much good music in the late 60s and 70s -- just a very creative period with many musical geniuses. Thanks Stevie for the memories!

Talk about a stress reliever, boy if I wasn't at work right now I'd be dancing all over the place-this is piece of music is out of this world.. The true Musician is really a gift from God, there has not been that many in my lifetime, Stevie Wonder(ful) has got to be at the top of the list (along with my boy Michael of course). To be able to create such masterpiece of musicianship is truly magical. This is happy , joyful music at it's finest, God Bless Stevie Wonerful- a magician of sound

It was a golden age for song writers. It's no surprise to me anymore to see present generation kids' jaws drop hearing what they thought was going to be "old people's music" and they're immediately hooked. They start saying how there's nothing like this today, and they're right.

Tripping in 1980. I made my pal for the night watch the ceiling light spin and listen to Songs In The Key of Life and proclaimed Stevie Wonder--God. Lol! He probably had something else in mind.
