This remains one of my all time favorite songs, and one of the rare cases where the video truly does the song justice. It was well thought out, I loved how when they did the futuristic sequence, instead of going all flying cars and ray guns and other futuristic tropes, they showed a hearkening back to ancient ways as well as futuristic flourishes. This is just all around good, and it makes me smile every time I see it. ^.^
Erykah makes me feel so proud to be black with this vid. I've learned so much from her music such as: what an ankh and a vortex are. What ye yo means and some more I'm sure I'm leaving out. She teaches what we never get taught in school. She's such a beautiful, inspiring, talented, and intellectual artist.
I <3 this song. its my "go to" song choice whenever someone asks me to sing. Her voice & mine work well together. Love her voice. Love the lyrics... however, "next lifetime"....I dont know about being a butterfly; I plan on being in heaven! lol. IJS.
@suemalle them feelings/vibes will never go away you can try to forget about them but they will always be there in this life time and even in the next Iife time
We just aint meant to be maybe in the next life time and we met just like we did but before you met ol boy and your smile is brand new with out your heart ever being broke
This song fits me right now so well. After reading all these comments, I know I am not alone. But the question is how do you make the feelings for the one you let go go away???
This video just gives me chills. I know exactly what she's talking about. To "Jetuy2", honey love is 100 percent because then it would make it perfect. Nothing is perfect or fair. It's speaks volumes on our human nature.
@jethuy2 It'scool. I think you should be committed to who you are with if that is what you agreed to but I have run into people and know guys that have shot bolts thru their eyes so hard my eyes physically felt the shock. It's an unexplainable feeling.
This is reminds me of my mid/high school boyfriend. I had to move out of town and went to live within a few hours. I never told him i was leaving. Then about 15 years later we got in touch and of course we are both married. But he still know how much i love him and all i can tell him is how i would do things over in our next life time..
I fell in love with this song the 1st time I heard it and the video follows the concept of the song perfectly. It's something we can all to relate to on some level: Meeting that special someone and the vibe between each other is strong but you can't be together for whatever reason.
Erykah Badu will always be one of my favorite singers! I like to hear this song all the time. Her songs are always so good. Some people may not understand her, but she definitely has a talent that nobody else has now-a-days.
oh and by the way mindipreciosa im Italian and I along with many other italians are educated and not ignorant or racist so do me a favor take your foot outa your mouth..."I am italian but that kind of violent discrimination..." as if u were saying oh well i kno italians are racist but that kind of violence and racism is wrong...let me set it straight im italian an I love all people an so does my family who are italian so youre an ass
I hate the part of the video where they are in the house speaking to the older couple, and a car comes up and the door is knocked down, meaning they were killed. I am Italian, but that kind of violent, (or any) discrimination against any race makes me sick!
At the end she got the guy first before anyone could scoop her up. The guys were running to the girls but she wasn't in the running - she had already pinned her man! - Get it!
@dhopegirlz each "life time" she falls in love with the man of the last life time that she couldnt get with. in the first one she's with andre and saw the other brother across the river. in the next life time she met the brother from across the river. but then saw method man. since her and river dude the was togther, her and meth couldn't be. then in the last lifetime she got with meth, but andre wanted to pick her, which is where the story began. and also eludes to life movin in 360 degrees.
I was going through the same thing when this song came out. To this day, I think of him whenever I hear this song. I guess I'll see him next lifetime.
Loving two people isn't wrong. Think about how many a people one person can love over the course of a lifetime. It only makes sense that loving two people at the same time would happen.
I'm in this situation right now. The only good thing, one of the guy's is in love with someone else as well. And while we have feelings for each other, we also have our respective others.
This song still made me cry, knowing what can never be in this lifetime.
I never said the other man was my past. I met him after I met my significant other. He and I, to this day, still love each other very much. We live in different parts of the country and each have our own lives that will never intertwine. Caring about another man in no way diminishes my love for my S.O. Love is not divided; it only grows. I am no less devoted and loving because I care for another person.
@shugabuns man this shit made me into a man some how.lol realy tho i had all her cds i could just let her cdsplay with out skipping a track i just wanna make love to my wife now that i heard this
i have to say that this vid has made alot of memories for me just cause it has that mello sound and the vid is perfect just for chillin you know what i maen ladies!
urgh! i cant actually express how much i like this song! You could listen to it all day, everyday and still not get bored of it :]. Now thats what i call good music ;) x
