This song fitted perfectly when I found out the girl I had a crush had moved and it was a cold, November evening and the wind was blowing the leaves out of the trees. The silence and emptiness of the house was on time! But it was a sad experience.........
I have a weakness for this song, always have, this and another by these guys called "I Wanna Get Next to You". The stuff of 3am big city FM Radio. Cool sophistication, romantic warmth, and a smooth sexy late-at-night groove. It's part of a certain strain of mid to late 70s pop/soul/funk that impressed this kid as being what good-taste and adult sophistication sounded like, and in that sense there was something aspirational about it too. A heady mix that retains its intoxicating effects even now.
If you watch unsung you would realllyyyyyy appreciate this song even more. I might be 12 but I KNOW real music when I hear it. Im not your average 12 year old. I love this song. Jackie wilson lonely tear drops is on my playlist... OLD SCHOOL!
look at the faces on these people....loving it. Why do all these idiot's nowadays have to be all angry to show how bad ass they are?? A joke. Cant wait until angry rappers burn out and it comes full circle
wow, so I've learned this song, played it tons of times on my guitar, and have apparently never heard the original. The City and Colour cover is fucking amazing.
What you know about Rose Royce? Damn, you can't even sang this song if you have never experienced this. I was all of 6 yrs old when this song came out. Yet, you can relate and understand it when you experience some things. Music will never be the same like back in the 70's, 80's and 90's. I'm glad youtube exist and I'm glad I have my collection of great music and Rose Royce is in the collection. This song is real talk.
This song brings back so a particular memory when I was dumped and I was in my 20's boy I sure did cry allot because that is what happened and not by the opposite sex either
So glad Kerli was inspired by things like this, or at least knows this. You guys should check out Love Is Dead by Kerli which is a song where credit is given to Rose Royce for that famous line! Love Don’t Live Here Anymore! It seems like such a sweet yet heartbreaking song. Rose is great.
@Kalibur9 This woman never got the recognition she deserve, what's her name? See what I mean? If she were to get her recognition, then maybe she'll come out and sing us another Hit. (No disrespect Mary J. Blige, we all know what you were singing to when you got on the map). What ever your true name is, come on back a rise the bar again...
@lecurtismoooy11 I'll check it out this weekend;) btw, I don't know that 'entourage" show but I liked this song since 4th grade coz my mom listens to it..:)
My life in time past was just like the words in the song. The pain of a bad relationship is a deep pain that never goes away because you once loved that person so much and they took you for granted. I like the video because it is so full of color. I love the afro hair style. To me a beautiful afro hairdo is never out of style with me. The music is on point. Where is that awesome band today . I would love to go to their concert. Love it.
@texangirl1964 LOL..this song is about someone getting dumped..If you find that romantic then you're every guys woman! Jump on jump off and get dressed while heading to the door..lol
i guess if it take a show like entourage to remind people this is a good classic song still. This generation to discover how good music used to be then kudos to the show because music like this is forgotten.
To say this song still resonates with this generation today speaks volumes. I remember dancing with a girl to this song when it first came out. And I never wanted to let her go. When the song finished... I wish I had!!!! hahaha. Priceless. Thanks frtz51302
I wish all women were this smooth about being dumped by their guy..Usually they start with the insults like "fucking asshole", "you're fake and led me on all this time", "you didn't make me cum anyways",..etc. Then they throw a huge tantrum and/or start smashing stuff..They should take notes from rose royce..!
@carrolcoulter well yes, quick like a rocket. The best place to let them go is at resturants. They tend to hold themselves together better..in front of the public type thing. Then they usually walk away from the table and order a cab. So you dont have to even worry about giving them a ride home..Unless you live with them then you are so screwed going back home.
I'm 22 yo and a up and coming rapper, but I need your help, I need more fans to mymusic so I can get people honest opinions... Please give my comment thumbs up so that it can be see, and also come to my page and check out my music. I currently have 5 songs.
This song is sooooooooo amazing. Rose Royce you still rock! What an extraordinary singer and a truly wonderful song. 19 year old, keep believing in you, this is how its meant to be. You will come through and find love again :)
When I broke up with my boyfriend this song was out and it fit the situation perfectly. I cried many many nights listening to this song. Damn brings back those old memories.
@kbwade13 :( life would not be, as we know without lessons bestowed upon us for growth. learn to listen to your intuition . trust should be earned & matters of the heart are never to be played with. Remember the love you are capable of , learn the lesson & let the ship sail... just let it go.
dont limit yourself for next time or the time after that , but chose wisely... Smile! in time.. this too shall pass....
You can feel her pain as she is singing the song...love love love this song
