  • madlib braaath me here

  • Hey, rock music was invented by black people, I don't see the reason for all the controversy. Don't we have black punk and goth cultures too??

  • Gorgeous, talented woman. And man, I gotta say it: Get a load of those abs! How sexy can you get? (And this is coming from a predominantly heterosexual female, ha ha.)

  • Thanks. I love this video and I love this song. I would love to see more Res.

  • She may have been a one hit wonder, but I made sure I never forgot her. This song was so big when it came out. It must have been played out, cause I haven't heard in on the radio since.

  • I do not know how to spell, don't fault me.

  • Unbeliably beautiful

  • Let's start something altogether refreshing...how about NO comments on race, color or even "the machine" behind it all. Why don't we pay the artist tribute and tribute alone. Hence, " Great Song Res".

  • Great Music Res.

  • Why is she not more popular ?

  • So fine. Why is it every black girl I meet would rather imitate nikki minaj or beyonce and not res?

  • She is a beautiful woman. She is the total niceness.

  • fuckin jam

  • I am black but I just love dance/electronic and indie pop but the segregation is just horrible. I mean I am so scared to tell people what kind of music I listen to because I get made fun of it. My brother calls it annoying, and my ringtones are what I like, but it's still ridicolous.

  • man what happend to this chick ..she was smoking hott and i loved her music and voice espcially this one

  • I love this cd. And this video. I've checked out some of the Idle Warship stuff and found in very good but I do prefer this stuff more. No knock on it, but it's better in my opinion. Just wish she'd play further south than DC sometime. Follow Res on Twitter! She talks about all her upcoming appearances.

  • @Chzlog - I'm a HUGE Idle Warship fan, but there's a purity to her earlier music. It just feels nice.

  • wish there was a video for "How I do". Love Res's style and voice!

  • I love you RES. 10 years?

  • this is weird, there's no top comment making fun of the 1 disliker

  • @SandwichGuy59 - It seems like everyone is here for the right reason.  It's kind of refreshing.

  • Black Girls do ROCK!!!!! if u this song is hot u should also check out "Golden Boys" it's a bangger...but what song of her's isn't Big up to RES and all my soul sisters that keep real music alive :)

  • Watching her move...listening to her voice....is the same feelin i get....from eating chocolate cake....with a glass of milk.

  • whoever dislikes this i hope all the bad things in life happen to you and only you..............

  • @fatboydontgiveafuck Agreed/ One person has no vision

  • her album is fucking classic!!

  • I've Been lookin for this song FOREVER!!!

  • by far .. her best song, i listened to some of her others and  just wasnt feelin it, did she write this? not the lyrics, the melody over the music.. can she play an instrument.. how does she write? things i always wondered

  • she musta forgot  to screw puffy or someone, everyone missed the boat with this 1

  • @badhorsee ugh she would have ended in the same place she is now if she was signed to bad boy records....she probably refused to sell out....you know what happens when you don't sell out

  • yeah , this chick should be a star, im a  hard rocker and i like this song, fine as hell too

  • Such a great artist!

  • Much respect and knowlege hypestyle. I thought I was the only one back in 02 that thought she didn't get her props. I played this disc to pieces for years.

  • This is awesome. Why didn't urban radio play the heck out of this record? This is the infuriating thing about black radio, they only play artists who fit a certain box- if you are female, you have to be like Mary J, Beyonce, etc., content and image-wise.. if you are like janelle monae, etc., with some rock n roll edge to you, they go out of their way to ignore these artists because they are not considered "urban" enough. It's ridiculous..

  • @Hypestyle That's why as a young black person, I rebelled against the standards of the black community long time ago by listening to WHATEVER THE HELL I WANTED TO!!! lol because I got sick of the stereotypes of what it means to ''be black'' in music. Why can't we just have radio stations that celebrates ALL MUSIC instead of segregating everything where people wont be able to get exposed to stuff that they might like in the future.

  • @PopCulture20 Wow lol I'm not black but I totally feel what you're saying big time. Everyone should define themselves. White people get that transparancy, I'm hispanic and I get tired of having pre-created concepts foisted on me.

  • @PopCulture20 What are the "Standards of the Black Community?" I am black and have NEVER been told what kind of music I could or could not listen to (outside of the church environment)...People in my family listened to ALL kinds of music, which is why my tastes in music are versatile to this day. The segregation of music by color is the doing of WHITE PEOPLE as black people have never controlled the music industry of had the power to decide what music would or would not be played on radio.

  • @WONDAWOMAN Good point!!!

  • @PopCulture20 - I'm not that young (39), but in high school I was a total metalhead. I was told culturally and personally what I should identify with, and that's bullshit. Exposure is the key to enlightenment. At this point in my life, I still love music, and I love all kinds of shit that I would never listened to if I listened to what everyone told I should listen to. Public Enemy to Bach, to Stevie Wonder to Slayer...it's all good!

  • @macdaddynyc Res did a cover of fleetwood macs lies its awesome and so was your comment . Public Enemy to Bach How about Slick Rick to Jim Croce to little richard to voivod. \m/

  • I've said it before, and I'll say it again....and again.

    A masterpiece of both woman and song.

  • @duhzzzz Amen to that brother

  • @duhzzzz Speak the truth! Caught an acoustic set she did last year...so talented, so fine. (support her new work.. solo and with Idle Warship)

  • @duhzzzz

    AMEN and the song was just that good!!!

  • I'm the 600th like. :D

  • She is beautiful, and damn this is music

  • Girl Is Brilliant ~! Universal Music f+cked up - by moneyJews in NY - hands down

  • I actually discovered res back around 2002 or so when mtv actually played videos and kiss fm would play this haha

  • and to think when I was in high school I just liked the beat lol. Irony!

  • these lyrics are great. I want to take that pill that makes me forget my awareness and the burdens that come with it. I want my vision to be "They-Say Vision." I see only what they want. Like before I realized I was being manipulated, lied to, etc. And if I do that, they got me right where they want me. Inable to resist them. Very deep. love this song

  • Thanks for finally posting!!!

  • When I was little I used to play this song NON-STOP and just recently discovered it again. She's so beautiful and talented! These new trashy hoes need to sit down somewhere.

  • what a beautiful female

  • She is just gorgeous. I wish she would get more attention. I loathe how artists get left on the back burner for idiots like Kesha and Brittney.

  • It Takes You Back To Just Where You Want...Take A Back Road

  • I forgot how much I love this song! Gosh, time passed

  • Comment removed

  • RES is the truth. I still rock her album; this sista does not get the props she deserve.Anyone knows if she still tours?

  • Man I swear I have been searching for this song/video for years!! It's a beautiful song and I discovered it the same way..a late night with vh1 I love this artist!

  • Been so long and I still have my album. Some of the songs made the limelight but she should have surely done better.

  • Wow, those first couple of lyrics are so deep...

    "I wanna take that pill that people take"...."make you believe all the things that people say"

  • Think about it...

    In the same year that this song came out... Khia's "My Neck, My Back" came out.

    Khia blew Res out the water... there is something seriously wrong with this country.

  • This is my favorite video. I like to sing to.

  • She was too REAL for the industry!

  • Beauty is only skin deep.

  • She is the BOMB!!!!

  • BIG UP RES, MY FUTURE WIFE!!!!

  • This is totally unlike the generic crap that nowadays passes for music. Sexier than a dozen Beyonces..

  • this video sucks. this song is awesome. shame what they did to res.

  • love res..she deserved more recognition. and she is beautiful. love this song

  • To bad Res could never break thru, this a beatiful song. I was 16 when this came out, and I fell in love with her, lol

  • I still love this song..and video...can't believe its been 9 yrs since I've heard/seen it...

  • I actually thought this was Stevie Nicks. This Song so Rocked

  • @TheArenaOfIdeas Funny. The same thing happened to me. I discovered Res one late night half-watching the vid channels! Whatever happened to this woman? What a talent and the video is so hot! I plan on checking out some of the other trax by her on the "tube"...I hear she is supposed to be playing A-town next wkend. Have to chk out. Peace!

  • not a great voice.

  • love this song, just heard a song by garbage though sounds kinda similar

  • when i first heard this song in 02 i fell IN LOVE

  • Killer song written by Santi White (a.k.a Santigold), if you listen close enough you can hear Santigold's style come out. Would love to hear them two get back together. Where is Santigold!!

  • @lhsgirlatx oh aight, cool beans

  • She's beautiful in this video.

  • I like this video because it's real music.

  • We're conditioned to follow the masses. " They Say Vision" is the tendency to go with the flow of popular belief which is often contrary to truth. I Love This Song. And I'll take the back roads. And Damn shes beautiful.

  • @Rime247 THANK-YOU SO MUCH for posting what this song means!!!! I've been trying to find out for years what she meant!!!

  • I love this song/video my mom has the cd and I just love it.

  • Download the audio from this video at soundnabber doht cohm.

  • I want this song at my wedding and my funeral lmao I love it that much though!

  • MAn what happen to music like this? I love this. i forgot all about it.

  • @Whitwhit313 Two words: COMMERCIAL RADIO. Make that five words: COMMERCIAL RADIO and RECORD COMPANY EXECS.

  • After all these years I've found my favorite song. When I first heard this song it was back in '02, and then and she came out in the vid beautifully . The bass , drums, guitar it was like something you never heard , and her vocals fit completely with the beat, I was like wowww she's amazing , she has talent , and she's my idol. After I seen the vid and heard the lyrics I couldn't stop singing it, it was soooo catchy and vision takes me back to this song. I love Res she's truly inspired me.

  • I listened to this song everyday when it came out. I miss it so much, glad i found.

  • Res is dope. we dig her!

  • Hadn't heard this song in years! I really enjoyed listening to it again. Love it

  • What a beautiful lady :-)

  • I love this song. Thanks so much for posting it!

  • ive been looking for this!!! Finally & thank you!

  • Excellent

  • this song is hot

  • The music industry is about trends & boxes. They are corporations. Trend creation = cash. If an artist don't fit into a check-box all that is left is other. Other = 0 air-play. If it were not for the boom of FM radio & pirate radio of the 60's & 70's. That great underground music that became timeless music would never have happened. Artists try to break this cycle on the net. Sadly so few pay attention Conditioned like Pavlov's dogs People keep watching garbage like American Idol.
  • This song comes along once in a blue moon. It was 8 years when I 1st heard it. 3 years when I last heard it. And someoen finally recommended it to me. Thank you for posting. This song has been the white stag I could never catch. =)

  • Little do people know, this is actually an Anti-Illuminati song.

  • i loved this song when it came out and still love it now ugh!!

  • What a tragic waste of talent that she hasn't made 5 albums at least by now

  • I still like this CD. I tried to get people into it when it came out and it fell on deaf ears. I'll still play it occasionally and I get questions about who it is. I think she has an amazing voice and look. I'm glad to hear she's still doing shows and appearances in the Philly area. Hopefully she'll come out with some new stuff soon.

  • I missed this song so much! She was really ahead of time.

  • OMG I LOVE THIS SONG I've Been Looking For It Since I First Heard It Bac In '02!!!!

  • Gah Res your flawless.

  • what a talent, shame she never got the props she deserved

  • @Obenn1 I KNOW WITH ALL THE WACKNESS IN THE INDUSRY I LOVE HER!

  • It's such a shame that people don't know what good music is, because if they did this would a massively popular song.

  • Hey you go girl. Nice stylist, nice message. 

  • i dont even know who she is but i love that hair and she got a pretty face and sings good 2
