What can you say about this song and video except it is so true to life. Macy Gray is so talented. Her songs hit you right at home. Still, is so exceptionally written and is so true to life. We stay in relationships that we know are toxic because we love the person. Sometimes Love is Just not enough.
Hey Macy fans, follow @MacyGraycers on Twitter. The first Macy Gray fan club, loved by the one & only Macy Gray. & we have a Facebook now, so Like us too. :D So you can become a Macy Graycer. :)
11 years my ex broke up with me, and this was my "break up song"...I hear this now and STILL I get teary-eyed. I got over him a long time ago, but I swear this is stirring up some feelings
Her expression in this video at about the mark of 1:05 yep, either she's one hell of a actress, or she gets it. Been there, seen that look in the mirror.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
We all know that love that hurts is wrong... I love her vulnerability, her honesty in this song.. because it is IN the truth that we are set free and can then LEAVE!!!!!
Actually, it is the agony of a relationship with an abusive love interest. It is partly due to poor self esteem and value of oneself, but we don't necessarily choose who we love and aren't able to turn feelings on or off like a light switch. Unfortunately, someone who is naive, young or just inexperienced in how to sucessfully deal with abusive people, ends up missing these critical junctures early on in a relationship, and the wrong tone is set for what is acceptable. Then it's difficult.
She really doesn't technically have a pretty voice, but there's something very appealing about her raspy-ness. Soul is almost too bland a word to describe it.
@Eifler121 i don't know if it's about her voice being "nice" or whatever... what it is though is unique. and it suits her style. e.g. i don't think she could sing a Mary J Blige or Whitney song.
like who'd have thought a voice like Joe Cocker's would get anywhere as a singer?? Mika?? Louis Armstrong?? etc.
@Agnelum1 I kind of disagree with you; I have no clue who Mika is, Louis Armstrong is known for his trumpet playing, and I like Joe Cocker's voice. I also don't really like Whitney or Mary J Blige.
@Eifler121 ok, the point of my msg maybe didn't get across too well but i was agreeing with you that while her voice may not have got her thru on these fake "talent" shows like idol etc, but it's unique and she uses it well. that's what i mean. like Louis Armstrong's gravely voice, Joe Cocker's whisky + cigarettes voice.
@Eifler121 ok.... if you haven't already listened to her music, i'd also recommend you give Randy Crawford a listen. i think she's an amazing soul singer. recommended tracks: "you might need somebody", "almaz", "imagine" and "one day i'll fly away".
it seems inconceivable to me that she never had a #1 hit; even in the days before mass-marketed happy plastic disposable garbage that seems prevalent of late.
@Agnelum1 Will do. There's so many artists like that out; Grace Potter, Dirty Guv'Nahs, Parlor Mob, Neko Case. Not all soul singers, but all great artists who will probably never get a hit.
@Agnelum1 Cool, I will. There are plenty of both soul, and other artists like that. There's tons of fantastic bands, Dirty Guv'nahs, Neko Case, grace Potter and the Noctournals, Parlor Mob, Earl Greyhound.

Buy "The Sellout" on iTunes, Amazon or your favorite music store!
macy for me stands in a tradition leading back to the likes of billie holiday. i love this lady, the voice, the truthfulness, the sorrow, the freedom.
I feel so bad for women who think it is okay to be beaten...and also for the men who beat them. It is all so sad and destructive to our entire society.Some people are so starved for love, that crumbs of lovin' get them by.
I love Macy Grey, this is a different video for this song though. I guess cause it's on the other CD too but she is definitely High no doubt about it and the video gives more of a high feel to it then the other one, I figured the slow moving everything and the glazed over eyes were more then enough to indicate that, great new video.
Sometimes you just love someone too much and even though you are hurt you just are too weak. You can be strong once the person is not around but as soon as they are near you get weak and it doesn't matter what the person did to you...you just melt down everytime you touch....even though you are trying to break free...you just can't
@donjay17601 I know what u're talking about coz I lived it but one day (I don't know how!) I found the courage to leave him but even after 8months now I don't know if I made the good choice
I hope for Macy that this song is not autobiographical. The character in this song cannot recognize that the things she loves are the very things that are destroying her. On first glance this sounds like a love song. The second listen it sounds like an abuser's dream come true. Finally, one can see Macy Gray's brilliance as an artist as her character's narrative perfectly identifies and exemplifies the intertwined psychic writhing of drug addiction and physical abuse.
