  • I was madly in love with someone that told me that whenever I hear this song...to think of him...not knowing that months later we would never hear this song together again. R.I.P John..I love you FOREVER and ALWAYS. Until we meet again.

  • THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL.......THANK YOU PETER FOR BEING MY BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE!

  • This song gives me hope. He is a beautiful surprise and encourages me to wait until he materializes.

  • This describes my situation head on!! So...there's this guy whom I considered a friends for YEARS! We attended grade school together and our parent's grew up together. I left town in the 8th grade to live with my mother and just returned about 5 years ago. He was the first person I ran into. We said our hellos and went on our ways. Not long after............to be cont...

  • we were invited to go out with a cousin of ours and she asked us to meet her at the house of her other cousin. What do you know this happens to be the girlfriend of this friend of mine. Yadiya....I ended up dating that girl's "unofficial" brother and formed a tighter bond with this friend of mine. We've both left those 2 alone and is currently moving forward with our lives. He went away for about 8mths and he's has just returned about 2 months ago. Things were normally b/t us up until about...

  • 3 or 4 weeks ago. We finally expressed our true feelings for each and what a BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE it has been!!!!! I'm still in shock at how our friendship has changed. Never in a million years would I have ever thought me and him would be connected like this. We have decided to take things REALLY slow to make sure this is the right thing to do. I'm really scared but I'm going to go with the flow! Keep us in your prayers! Thanks India for the lyrics! BEAUTIFUL!!!!

  • @BEAUTIFULL2107 SHUTUP OhMyBob, I am going thru the same thing w/ the guy I've been best friends w/ for the past 5yrs. I think of him whenever I hear this song, and sometimes he sings it to me :)

  • heard this song and immidiately thought of my boyfriend... We are best friends but who would have thought things would snowball to this "beautiful surprise"... he's everything i've asked for in my prayers :)

  • India can really, really sing!

  •  I enjoyed it!

  • @moonberrystarful that's what she said

  • I LOVE THIS SONG....IT TELLS THE STORY OF HOW I FELT WHEN I MEET MY GUY FRIEND, I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE OF THE MATTER B/C MY HEART WAS OPEN UP TOO HIM THE DAY WE LOOKED INTO EACH OTHER EYES.....

  • I SAW HER IN CONCERT AND SHE IS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL LOVE HER STYLE

  • Just remember she didn't do it for the fame. She does it for the LOVE of the MUSIC...and the art. She's truly beautiful :)

  • India...where are you? Let me say this: It is completely frustrating, at times, to be the devoted fan of India Arie that I am. I sincerely believe that there's no Female artist on today's music scene that is as intelligent, articulate, passionate, charismatic..and flat-out GIFTED as India...and yet, WHERE IS SHE? No "Award" shows, late-night talk show appearances, or magazine interviews (that I know of). India's "Gift" is a true blessing to be shared abundantly. I wish she would do JUST THAT.

  • @aliquippawill Actually.. if you were a devoted India fan you would know that she's working on releasing her most amazing album yet, Open door.. due out in the spring of 2012 and she's been touring for the last couple of months sharing her gift....

  • @vyry108 ....Being aware of the "release date" of an upcomming album does not come CLOSE to defining my respect & appreciation for the "Gifts" of India Arie, and it was foolish of you to ASSUME that it does.....almost as foolish as you ASSUMING that India's next release will be "Her most amazing album yet". ALL of Ms.Arie's compositions are beautifully provocative, introspective creations. You have missed the ENTIRE POINT of my previous comment, being; India's lack of national exposure.

  • @aliquippawill whether you meant it or not the wording of your comment suggests that India is not sharing her gift because she has not appeared on talk shows and in magazines and that is ignorant. I love all of India's CDs as well but I have heard all the songs on Open Door and it is unlike any other.. and straight from India's mouth this is the music she's always wanted to make but never has. Have a nice day.

  • @vyry108 ......You truly are in dire need of prayer.........the level of your short-sightedness & complete ignorance is practically beyond comprehension. You have now established yourself as the official "Poster-Person" for why I NORMALLY don't carry on a continuing correspondence with total strangers on the internet. That's TWICE now that you've made an asinine assessment of me based on a complete failure to comprehend the content of my comment....you're stupidity is truly inexcusable.

  • @aliquippawill Thanks your positivity is refreshing. 

  • This song describes how I feel about the man in my life perfectly!  He's exactly who I needed and wanted in my life, the answer to my prayers.... a beautiful surprise! I love it!

  • I walked down the aisle to this song. Eight years later, it still explains the affect this man's love has on me. Still thankful for the man that he is; he is the man I asked for in my prayers!

  • I LOVE HER!!

  • This lady is so beautiful and Electric India, Jill,Aja (Kindred Family Soul),Angie Stone should recieve more credit love them if you want to hear more soul music check out group 7/27 on ktrb90

  • OMG I know I may be late but this song is WONDERFUL!!!! I listened to it about 100 times back to back. It makes you feel so good and wishing you had a love just like that!! Im going to get that feeling one day soon!

  • the power of poetry

  • This is one of the greatest songs ever made... Thank you India <3

  • I am so totally in love with the immense God-Given talent of Ms.India Arie. It would be absolutely wonderful to see a young lady this passionate, intelligent, articulate & beautiful, receive the national recognition that she so richly deserves. How is it possible that someone this BLESSED continue to "fly" so far under the "radar screen " of fame? Practically no national TV exposure, no major music award shows....perhaps India's career is exactly where SHE wants it. I admire her greatly.

  • @aliquippawill I absolutely agree with you. have loved India since the day I discovered her music. Ever since I 've been telling people about her. Let's cherish her great work! Greetings from Serbia !!!

  • India Arie voice is so sweet and pure. Pure Talent (Real music) check out my friend Nicole Kerr cover to this song

  • Amazing. also check out Syn's "Introduction" off "My Soundtrack for Colored Girl" another powerful song youtube.com/watch?v=a7VvPxVFif­4

  • such a beautiful song...when I look back over the circumstances of meeting the wonderful man in my life, I can only say it was God deciding that it's time for me to finally be happy again. "Whatever it is that you came to teach me, I am here to learn it." -xoxo Phuc-

Its frustrating bcuz im giving him all of me so i want all of him 2. After a fight over the same issue he told me 2 listen to this song and said it reminded him of me....said he just couldnt find the words to say what his heart felt. *sigh* i love him <3

  • @omenfreedom seriously!

  • I used 2 play this for my ex when i first met her, i used 2 be embarrassed 2 go anywhere with her, bcuz i didnt know how to except the fact that i was a lesbian, i use 2 be scared of what people would think, in this song the part that says "WHATEVER IT IS THAT U CAME TO TEACH ME, I AM HERE TO LEARN IT" really touches me...bcuz by the end of that relationship my ex taught me to love myself, regardless of what others may think, she truly was an inspiration 2 my life....OMG I think i miss her lol

  • @elliftv music is music anyway you look @ it, despite the category. I respect rap, hip-hop, rock, country and everything else within their own genre. But I also peep garbage. And I'm just calling a spade a spade. I admit they may have a catchy hook or a dope beat, but let's be honest India is "the truth" up against any category!! I hope and pray "good music" comes back in style!!!!!!
