I Couldn't Help Myself

[wolfman73174]

I can listen to this song over & over without ever getting tired of it! Heard it when it came out in the early 90's on WNUA in Chicago, & never heard it again until recently on internet radio. I'm so glad it's here. Wow! - her beauty matches her voice too! Gerald Albright sax - nice touch! Now that 'cwfrmroc' mentioned it, I can hear the match of his sound compared to his CD's. Cool!

[gspendlove]

Sara Hickman should be a much bigger star.

[cwfrmroc]

She has a great voice, and Gerald Albright, who played the sax grooves was as tremendous as usual!.

[Preki12]

Ahh the days of avoiding studying in the dorm room in '91 while this was on heavy rotation on VH1. All the while not being able to keep your eyes and ears from this video as we watched the years go by.....and here we are back again 20 years later. Looks like things have changed a bit, but we still get that same feeling that we had deep down while this is playing........feels good doesn't it.

[yorkpatties]

some songs you never forget.

[DBrofi]

Wow, what a beautiful video that I never saw before! Really appeals to my photographic eye. I was maybe 5 when this first came out, and even though that was not a particular happy time in my life I am glad to have found this song again (never knew what it was till yesterday!). I guess I can appreciate it now lol. Lovely-

[ureverafter]

ouch ouch ouch!!! being in the "best friend zone" with someone you've fallen inlove with feels like being hit by a big ass bus! have loved this song for many years... and i know i'll keep singin' this to someone i wish knew how i feel about him....

[tonyf734atl]

This is a great song...it will always have a special place in my memories ... especially for one "very special" person...whom i will always love!

[capndavey1]

Shortstop was one of the best CD's ever made its sonically perfect from Sara's songs to all the musicians on the record to the 100% digital master its perfect the funny thing is Sara apologizes for any imperfections in the liner notes ... there are none dear!!

[FunkInDaPocket47]

pretty song...pretty lady!

[kayetraye]

this song brings back alot memories. its so touching that it just gets to me because i think back to when i first moved to san diego. i saw this video on vh1 about the spring of 92 the first time and i fell in love with it instantly. i am sure it had been around for awhile but i remember it during that time.

[funlovelyt]

Used to love this song

[DaftSwank]

Sara!! It's killing me that you've taken this off iTunes U.S.!!?!?!! Please put it back up!!!!

[apadilla014]

Heard this in '91 as bagboy in grocery countless times. girl dumped me ,I went with girl who was study partner inone of classes,dated her ,lost contact with her after high school saw her 2 years after school was friends never saw again but remember this song always . ended on friendly,happy terms.

[Tavekira]

beautiful song.

[andyman58]

Great song from the "Dollop of Daisy" gal.....

[MrTeatreeoil]

sara hickman you just didn't get the reconition and credit that you should have got for your BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!!! "I LOVE YOUR VOICE"

[moofushu]

This song and "fade into you" by Mazzy Star are the two songs I over played back in the day. Both have a special place in my heart.

[Preki12]

Sooo smooth, many memories in college dorms studying while VH1 had this on daily rotation in 1991. Thanks for the memories!! Those were the days.

[seewoowoo]

Gerald Albright lent his talented saxaphone to this wonderful song. Check out Sara's other works and you'll be impressed. She's a singer, songwriter, musician and storyteller.

[12alive]

this sucks

[Rheaume100]

Yes I Agree,,,Check out,,INQUISITION--Rituals of Human Sacrifice for for LORD Baal)

[nugentrocks1]

You are the one that broke the rules Melanie

[malistar75]

I really love this song

Sara Hickman Has a good strong voice!!

[gmcolvins]

I only heard this song once in 1990. But I never forgot it. When I got my iPod, this was one of the first songs I got...

[Garlandfan]

One of my favorite songs EVER. I discovered this on a jazz radio station!

[BetamaxBabe]

Wow, I haven't seen or heard this since I was 13 back when VH1 was good. Brings back memories....

[edencrash10]

A very beautiful song!

[stellav45]

Love it! Thanks for uploading this most awesome song! What a wonderful year for this song....Stella

[tiana1017]

i can see how she was influenced by the great phoebe snow, check out poetry man from phoebe

I love sara , i have this cassette tape, i fell in love with this song

[Preki12]

What a shame that no one has posted on this beautiful song in 2 months....more people should be listening.

[MonieMusic]

Wow, I didn't even know there was a video to this song. It definitely is the single version, because the album version is a bit longer. What the cut out of the song on this version is so organic... I wish they would have left it in. This whole CD is nice!

[kayetraye]

What a wonderful song. Her voice is quite beautiful.

[aprilgloom]

Great song! Too bad the video doesn't include the song's full version with the sax fadeout towards the end.

[Preki12]

This song is perfectly arranged and well written....please tell me why so much crap these days. Music like this is so far from us these days.

[johnnyb1975]

I remember this song from way back when.This expresses exactly how I feel about a special woman in my life right now.Hopefully I will get the courage to tell her,or maybe just send this to her.

[stellav45]

So did you tell her? If you haven't you could be missing out on the love of your life! I told my Best Friend after 3 years of hangin' out with him, he was so happy to know I felt...we got married eventually and have a wonderful life together...Tell Her If You Haven't!!!

[Adrain30]

saw Sara in Concert way back when in LA...Amazing show..Shortstop has to be one of the best CD in the last 30 years

[cobyliki]

i looooove this song..beautiful video too! amazing voice! thanks for posting!

[Preki12]

Sooo smooth, many memories in college dorms studying while VH1 had this on daily rotation in 1991. Thanks for the memories!! Those were the days.

[denrockshard]

One of those lost crossover adult comtemporary songs from 1990 - and a beautiful song it was indeed.

[PC1976]

I remember when this song came out, I was in love with Sara and this song. It's become a song I know I've played over and over throughout the years.

[kathleenmacarthur]

Love to see that people know this girl and this song!

[doranda777]

I love this song!

[sigonsally]

it ok

[asiansual]

She is so underrated. She deserves more credit for her songs and her voice. This woman has talent, and when you hear her sing, your stresses and worries fade away. She is an excellent musician.

[asiansual]

This is a shorter version of the song. Is there a longer version to this? I'm just curious.

[lectrovoice]

Smooth Jazz baby! I love it from Sara.

[zizzerz]

The only things I like about this video are Sarah's luscious looks and voice...the rest of the video detracts from Sarah's beautiful voice. Great song, one of my favorites.

[asiansual]

Great album and this is my most favorite from the album "Shortstop."

[bassdws888]

I would get up and do the early morning feedings of my newborn daughter and I would turn on VH1 and more often than not in 1991, I would see this video of Sara Hickman

The memories just came flooding back of the days I held my little girl in my arms and rocked her back and forth. Thank you so much for posting this and I wish I could fully express to you how much it meant for to me to see this again after 16 years.

"Thank You" just doesn't seem enough.......

I could never

[Preki12]

@bassdws888 Truly one of the best comments a person will ever read......this is what music does to us.Thank you.

[Preki12]

@Preki12 Your very welcome.

[Preki12]

What a beautiful song and a classic early 90's video! Ahhh the memories of those days!!

Thanks for the video!

[lectrovoice]

Yeah, smooth jazzy stuff; this was a big hit for Sarah, its one of the few songs by her I can remember hearing on the radio... sad but what can you do accept by the album and enjoy

[perspicaciouscritic]

Decent video, but, Matt, dude, Art Center College of Design rebel, what were you thinking when you chose this MOR song?

[rugshort]

Yeah!

[runnyd5]

I will never understand why this wasn't a big hit. Thank you for posting this!

[Pasquerel]

Thank you very much for this video, I never knew it existed!
