I forgot about this song and video. I did see it one time on Vh1 Soul and BET I believe. I love the tuba part that was funny. I'm missing this CD I gotta get his first one now.
what a classic f#ck!!!! I think it 3 to 4yrs back the first time this track hit my ear, and it opened up my eardrum permanently....favourite fan Mr Saddiq timeless shit u got there!!!
I got to see him perform this live right before this album was released and when he did this song I swear it was between 10 -15 minutes long for this song alone with several tuba solos and him repeating the chorus. Needless to say i was shocked when I got the cd and it was a whopping 2 minutes
So much sincerity in this song. It looks like he would be signing to me while I am at work across the street & I am looking out the window. Co workers like "Your boyfriend is outside singing again. He got a tuba player this time " Id be like dam I love that man!!!!!LMAO
not to offend anyone... but his voice reminds me of donnell jones sometimes, but it's still way unique #justsayin - he is great though - do they play this guy on the radio?
this song takes me back to my freshman year of high school... i absolutely love this song and the memories that come with it! i miss excellent and meaning ful music.
@Pretz77 Ooh. ooh. ooh. i know. i know. Toni tony tone. I bet you dont know where he's from. What high school he went to? what middle school he went to?? Let me answer it for you. Oakland , Ca, Castlemont High School, King Estates Junior High. East Oakland stand up. this is the Son of Soul from our hometown.
LOVE , LOVE Raphael Saadiq, but this video costed like $2 to make. But i guess he was trying to let the music speak for itself. Awesome song, @Now1you1Know, yes he is a Genius, and he always goes hard
this man is a genius...very underated. real musiq not synthetic rubbish mass produced garbage thats on the radio today. hahaha..he looks loaded at 1:22
One of the best love song I've heard ever actually from a mans view point speaking to a woman. This is oganic. I feel this way about someone word for word.
How can these musicians nowadays call themselves artist if they listen to things like this. Music does change but this crap lately is awful. I love this song!!!
@prettytoney09 and it was money well spent. Vocals and a tuba...I'd love to see you pull that off. Do you even know how many finger positions are on a tuba? He could have even used a trombone!! Do you know how many positions are even on a trombone?
@IMHOTEP0357 no and no.lol.man im not dissing.i like this song.if artists these days could focus on making good music instead of flashy videos,it would be proper.raphael saadiq could have at least put 1 sexy chick in the vid.
@AntuanPace but I really think the point was the simplicity of the piece. The tuba did EXACTLY what it was supposed to do (imho). AND... I'm pretty well acquainted with the tuba player... He's a BEAST of a musician. No lies. I'm sure HE could have Jazzed it up WAY more too.
I love the simplicity of this video, yet it speaks volumes. He's standing on a street corner professing his love.. Beautiful.
