This is one of my favorite songs from her first album. So glad I decided to listen to it all the way through. It is out of this world special. Sorry I waited so long to enjoy it. Love, love, love, this song. Alicia is the best.

[channymack]

[dementedsagittarius]

@clearwhitecrystal from alicia-keysdotnet

[imthebrother]

inspirational!

[chickabooti]

she kills it boi!!!hottsing straitout

[penoo14]

I had forgotten about this song, very relevant to me now

[YaNVme]

What is the name of the song that she sampled for this track?

[Ashanti953]

This is some good muzic, but I think those other artists like Beyonce, Kesha, Justin Beiber, need to start hooking up with Alicia's direcetor, don't get me wrong or anthing but the others are good but they need to have some oint to their muzic!

Like 95% people like Alicia and 10% don't! So really only 9 don't enjoy her but 224 do, so there.

[jankileo]

0:35-0:40, the photos of her holdng the pistol, that photo is so sexy. She looks really determined to do whatever it is that she's doing in that photo. If I had a woman that looked like this rob me at gunpoint, after I got over the shock of having a gun in my face, I would let her know how sexy I thought she was. I would just lavish her with praise for how beautiful she is. Afterwards, I would report it to police, but I think I would have to spend some quality time in the bathroom over it!

[dementedsagittarius]

@jankileo LMAO!!!  THAT IS AN AWESOME COMMENT

[jankileo]

@dementedsagittarius hahaha...

[jankileo]

@dementedsagittarius hahaha...

[dionsuave]

[dionsuave]

next to mary shes the best

[jackiefresh]

words cannot express how i feel about alicias music!

[reddogg53208]

Mac TownGaKuntryBOY that theme music is from SuperFly

[MacTownGaKuntryBOY]

Damn it....There is a song I've had on my computer for a long time by a California underground rapper named Twamp and his song is called "Baylyfe".....I could tell he sampled an R&B song...so i googled the lyrics of the singing part and now I see that this is the song he sampled....I'm sad to say that his sampling of the song has an even smoother more chill beat than this...I expected the direct opposite.....im disappointed....still a good song though.

[Feeze2]

Whoever told her to release "how come you don't call me" as her 3rd single instead of The Life, Troubles, or Goodbye, did her a disservice. She dropped her 3rd single in June '02 just a few months after the sept 11th attacks. She could've had another #1 hit with any those songs. More importantly she could've helped people who were affected by what was happening at that time to cope with songs like Troubles and the Life. Opportunity missed.

[silkdavid1123]

@Feeze2 totally agree. Those are the best songs on the album. How come you don't call is the worst.

[Lucyxxlocketxx]

songs in a minor is her best album ever

[paulipaz]

Yep, it's definitely my favorite. It's raw Alicia.

[worldwonda8]

@paulipaz i agree before she tried to get with the times now, her old school is way better.

[Gizkaa]

I absolutely agree... BEST ALBUM ever!

[Angelfully]

2:24-2:25

[Angelfully]

I keep telling people she hit a C6 at 2:24, they won't believe me.

[Scanned]

I hear it.

[7johndoe777]

that's because it's an Eb5(th).. sliding to a C5(th)

really.. listen again :)

[vibrantrose9]

just amazing.

[mlsherman1982]

Dam it man, ever since I heard this song I listen to it everyday it just helps me get thru, my life's ANthEM!

[Scorpion31rap]

I LOVE ALICIA KEYS

[nozzyb]

shes like the ultimate woman

[x109256]

love this song. Alicia always puts such a complex feeling into such simplicity. Can always relate to this

[sheka2hot]

She favors lena horn a little... Beautiful!

[fabbkmom901]

this is MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME, IT IS LIKE MY ANTHEM! A KEYS IS THE SHIT!

[SoSoSaffia]

shes so hot......well buffnessthe dark eyes n complextion i recon kayne west n alicia would make a good couple

[sercvguy]

[JanaKubalova]

I would never wish Kanye Rude West upon my worst enemy let alone the stunning, beautiful and skilled Alicia Keys

[SoSoSaffia]

[mdterp01]

Favorite song of hers. The whole arrangment is amazing!! From 4:15 to the end I am just boppin my head to that beat.

[54spiritedwill54]

alicia is a genius!!

[ellebana79]

this is my fav song from her of all time---classic

love uuu alicia

[amichaux]

This is def one of my faves off of her first album =) She is the Etta James/ Billie Holiday of our generation =)

[lovegrams19]

Yes she like Ms.James and Ms. Holiday when it comes to talent. Alica Keys is more centered on helping people than they were.

[Cherrokeetgirl]

I really wish the world knew more about her music....They really know only like...6...of her around 100 tracks....this one is absolutely touching, they should play it on the radio, especialy now...

[dabadguymaestro71]

u r so right to and i hate that about ppl, they dnt giv her as much cred as ppl like Beyonce ppl who r to me over rated n dnt even write their own music, all her albums r tight nside n out n i love alicia man n imma dude lol but hey music has no barrier right

[dskennie]

"Superfly" + "My Life"

[makado1980]

@dskennie this song or melody is not from superfly.. sorry

[dskennie]

@makado1980 the part "gotta get over" is from "superfly" sweetie

[aze8508]

Sag in da house! OOW! Thank you sooooooo much!!

[thisseximilkshake101]

I love this song, i think everybody can relate to this song in their own way.

[SK1O13]

[amandapeet19]

i'm a woman, but fact is fact: she is gergous I think:) and i love her music as well:)

[JanaKubalova]

Thank God for Alicia, our kids will be able to listen to music too, thank you Lord.

[tajmabruno]

Classic first cd with all of the elements of excellent music.

[anandauhuru]

Sonido compacto, ritmo sensual, realmente una canción que provoca volar por encima de la cruda realidad.

[dabadguymaestro71]

WHEN IT RAINS IT Pours....alicia keys is KILLNG every other R B artis by like 1,0000...BEYONCE WHO???..hahah i like B but come on now...a keys cd's have way more meaning and touch the SOUL

[DXgeneration17]

she is one of the wonder voices of female artists who aint afraid to sing what she deeply feels inside. I love her music ! That's right do yo thang girl !!!

[lexxi2006]

This song has so much depth to it. I love listening to it when I'm feeling down.

[SupaModel4Life]

She sure is beautiful.

[Plieswoman08]

Man I never understood this album when I was 11 but now that im almost 19,its like a story 2 my life..Alicia is the best,shes my Idol.

[SaniyaMamii]

this is the life..

this song describes

anybody going thru

the ''struggle''..

--dc

[yamamangiao]

u  so cute

[quantababy0]

true true

[johnduggan1]

this song reminds me of my life

[kamfella354]

Why is this song under rated there should be more comments than this. this song has alot of meaning to it and helps me get through hardtimes.

[beefyz11111]

Apparently not a lot of people like music with a lot of meaning, and listen to music that doesn't have meaning to avoid confronting their own issues. Alicia Keys is just so great at what she does she can do more than JUST SING like a lot of R&B artists. She will always be my #1 Favorite artist.

[naiproductions]

Dynamic Woman & Song! Melody Lyrics & ALL! I'm always singing along to this kind of music! This is the music I don't mind my small children listening to!

[downforcore]

sampled by curtis mayfield.

great song, the hook is incredible.

[chamelionalala]

songs in a minor is my favourite alicia album also.... as a am is a representing where she has grown... for all yall that arent feeling as i am please listen to sure looks good to me.... amazing song

[dskennie]

"Cause when it rains, it pours! Isn't life worth more?..." my favorite part, and these are some really good pictures of her especially at :40 and 1:06

[ALEXANDRISIMA]

Bellísima!

Adoro esta canción.

[raylaun]

alicia is a genius!!!!!

[tabia329]

this song is so true about life.sometimes its hard and then sometimes its easy but its apart of life.Alicia is a excellent songwriter and singer and i admire her alot.

[babygirlgotitgoinon]

omg! luk @ 0:35

[bleyi40]

dont fu@# with me today i'm on top of the world

[Pmurderinc]

Alicia Keys is the best.....Songs In A Minor is the shit

[dskennie]

Yes, it is...she seems to have lost her funk since them:(

[jcruzz4322]

Alicia Keys best music is during the songs in A minor era.

[hecallmesilk]

I love this fucking woman! no homo

[q89xu]

she is so talented author, actress, singer, other things i can't think of. She also very very very pretty.

[Anncbr]

w pierwszym albumie byla najprawdziwsza,ale i tak ma talent i to wielki

[bella2hawt]

i love this song

[LilKis21]

no but usually each of her songs talks about radically different things! Her 3rd album As I Am has nothing special in it besides Superwoman..her 1st album each song was totally different from each other and talked about many different things, same for her 2nd album...her 3rd album was just almost all about her man or significant other....

[kanishaa23]

I totally agree, I was soo disappointed with this last album, Alicia had never seemed to be a one-dimensional artist like all the others, who have mainly one thing to sing about...she's deeper than that..the whole 1st album showed that..and the second showed her deep versatility as an artists...hopefully, the fourth will pick up where the second left off!

[dskennie]

yeah, cause i am totally disappointed with her...her first album is my absolute shitt!!! i still listen to it today, as a matter of fact i listened to some of it today, the original cd

[bbdee0705]

i love this song sooooo much ! this and troubles got me through some tough times and brings a tear to my eyes evrytime i hear them ! I liked all the other songs on the album too but those 2 in particular made me love ALICIA'S creativity ..outstanding artist !

[Pmurderinc]

yes! i agree with you....listening to both of these songs when something is going on always makes me feel better...:) I love both of these songs so much

[patriciacarrasco]

da bomb

[Kimmica20]

This is hands down my favorite song from the album. Still sounds good too.

[shayeeX]

y'all are wierd! lol...waste all this space talking about her nose? Its all love tho'.

[JustShany]

I still love this song.. omg.. she's a good artist ....

her old and new album.. they just all good...

love ya keys

[LilKis21]

I used to play this song and troubles non stop during one of the most devastating times of my life....it made me feel much better cuz somebody else understood what I was going thru too....it's like she feels just like me....I still don't understand why her new album As I Am does not match the greatness and classic over her two old albums....she blew it sorta on her new one...

[JustShany]

your not right.. it just a new style that she have create...

fore some people is just to get use to it...

fore me was it too.. But know I love her new album.. I love specialy... 'I need you', wonder woman and like you'll you never see me again...

[misscstarr1988]

I love this song! It's still on my I-Pod! The rhythmical beat is phenomenal! Alicia Keys is a great artist!

[msahmayzing]

i dont think youre weird. i think she has a nice nose too =]

[elsickboy]

nothing weird about her nose - it's perfect

[buddward13]

[dagrinch05]

One of her most underrated songs on this cd! They should make this a number 1 hit forsure!

[shininjuol]

I had to buy this CD again, because I wore it out so much. This is one of my favorites of the CD. Awesome groove!

[PrincessNadu]

[dementedsagittarius]
