[5595937]

sadly, music, such as this, doesn't exist anymore. A soft and beautiful melody to soul, cliche as it sounds. The music industry really needs to fix itself

[Quikster220]

Probably the best RNB cd Ive ever heard... fuckin masterpiece!!

[SUNSET988]

@Quikster220 U NEVER LIED THIS CD IS UNMATCHED EVERY SONG ON IT IS A CLASSIC BUT THIS 1 IS MY FAVORITE!

[502bjohnson]

Thank you MusicDushan, I did not know that is what it meant. My Brother-In-Law uses 143 with my Sister all the time and wondered what it meant n never asked. He's a romantic at heart. :)

[MsLife98]

Yes real musiq 143



[iamChelseaDolores]

Take that Bobby Brackins.

[MusicDushan]

LIKE if you know that "143" means "I love you" numerically! (number of letters in each word).

[ImaniTMisfit]

I love the way this song ends.... its so beautiful I love Musiq

[kagoon0709]

soul's not dead...not yet...thanks to musiq soulchild

[vyxtouch]

Sorry guys but Musiq Soulchild sent me here.

[VocabThePoet]

This is for the real Musiq fans.....

[souljha2001]

When I first heard this song I thought damn this dude is the second coming of Stevie!

He may not be Stevie but he is still a very soulful brotha, to bad the majority of people out there don't appreciate good music.

[100Percent1Love]

@souljha2001 Amen to that!!! I hear ya

[FUimbored]

sorry but i think passions version is better i just like this because there is no cutoff

[MrSoClassic]

"See sometimes words may get in the way...

So I choose to tell you how I feel in a numerical way...143" <3 My JAM!!!

[MrSoClassic]

"See sometimes words may get in the way...

So I choose to tell you how I feel in a numerical way...143" <3 My JAM!!!

[MsApril16th]

i always played this song, but one day i was caught off guard by the end of the song when he explained what 143 meant. OMG i had loved the song before, but after knowing the meaning I was IN love with the song

[100Percent1Love]

@MsApril16th I thought 143 Meant I love you ??? WTH

[getitmama27]

@100Percent1Love it does :)

[MsApril16th]

@100Percent1Love maybe i should have put a comma for people who like to read things their way... "after knowing the meaning,,,, I was IN love with the song" How it should be read for those who don't understand short hand (100percent1love)... after learning the meaning of the 143, that made me fall more in love with the song. NOT THAT 143 meant "i was IN LOVE with the song" LOSER

[MsApril16th]

yes track 7 is permanately scratched on my cd because i played it so much. Matter of fact lol the whole cd is scratched

[MsApril16th]

i bought this cd as soon as it came out because Musiq had track on the nutty professor soundtrack

[jdza11]

I loved this song on his first album. I still think his first album was the best. Every song was great you could just let it run and that is rare especially today that is why Itunes is so popular you can get the one good song from an album for a dollar and save the other 13. Musiq is the man!!!

[kekebabi28]

SO CLEVER.. TAKE NOTES MEN!!!

[Glenwood03]

man this is the jam i put this on repeat @ least a second time!!!!!

[gsogifted]

from heart to you 143! <3 ily nd i love dis song

[thejayday2121]

143 I Love You what a song

[danaise911]

i love this song!!!

[caligirlmiami]

my favorite SoulChild song 143 in beautiful 

[ayeYoPoOh]

I love this song... <3 I love the whole album!!! I love musiq period! l0l

[rob143]

even though musiq is one of my all time favorite artists & my all time favorite writer/lyricists, i'll be real & admit I came here through passion & them, but I also wanna say regardless of who showed me the song 1st, I'm just glad I didn't miss out on it, cuz that's where the real crime would be.

[ScientificPions]

Good music brought me here.

[Guitfiddlejase]

Incredible.I can't get enough.

[voices6162]

I never, never, ever, ever get tired of this jam...

[olan88]

i prefer passion/eebrahim/leejay version so much more :(...i want more of that

[filipinoDom]

@olan88 when will they give us the whole thing. that was so mean..

[thecommonname]

@antizzleness

Im sayin!!

[antizzleness]

Passions cool and all, but how are people gonna have been sleepin on an RnB legend like Musiq, and need a youtube sensation to find him? lol

[CalvinOrosaa]

Yeah well Musiq Soulchild brought Passion here.

[vyxtouch]

Thumbs up if Musiq Soulchild brought you here.

[shredcare]

[OriginalityBoi]

[TheService8]

[pansy70]

[bibleranger]

143 means "I Love You". One letter in I, Four letters in Love, and Three letters in You. Correct me if I'm wrong on this.

[oliver61125]

[ronaldartwell]

[annkrystal]

3 people obviously dont know what 143 means:/

[IsaiahMang]

@annkrystal lame

[annkrystal]

@IsaiahMang You're lamer

[BlaminicanBarbie]

Musiq Soulchild is one of those few artists that can put out an album and EVERY single song is awesome. This album is one of them for sure.

[popoola17]

how the hell can 3 people dislike this, this whole album us great . thumbs up if u agree

[sugarcane91]

@popoola17 They're probably some miley cyrus/justin bieber lovin' losers who don't know a thing about REAL music!!

[sexytrackstar2008]

i love this song ironically my dorm room number was 143 and friendship loving memories came from that room...i used to send this to my ex all the time cuz i was to ashamed and shy to tell him i loved him lol

[murkush20]

H stalking this girl....

[rcrawford10]

yes 143 are the exact numbers in the words but so is I hate you...lol. 143 comes from when we used to use pagers... if you would page someone with the code 143. i love you would come on there screen..(90's trivia.lol) .I love this song

[JStr3at97]

[FloppyMeat]

@mogando25 *Sigh*... and I was really looking forward to hearing the whole song in that video too. Boy was I really upset.

[blackman5031]

[w00t4Mee]

finally someone post this song

i love this thanks

[DDFentertainment]

Wow...this brings back memories. I remember when this CD came out. First year of college and the CD was the business !! This song was one that caught my ear first...so soulful and it makes you feel good. This is still one of my favorites from Musiq... (Man, I wish I could be 19 Yrs old again...at least for one week).

[Kjoycem]

I used to listen to this ERRday on the way to school. Love is always on my mind. This is just one of the many songs that make me smile :-)

[aprilcontessa]

i wondered what 143 means..i get it. Wow - clever

[ChanaiNinjah]

[paperorpaper]

Okay, I get that "143" means I love you, but what is the connection between the two?

[buttafli5881]

@paperorpaper 143= I love you>>> I (spelled with one letter) Love (spelled with four letters) You (spelled with three letters) 143

[paperorpaper]

@buttafli5881 Oh! It all makes sense now! Thanks. :)

[Haileymadamm]

ㅋㅋ진짜좋다..

[everybodyscupoftee]

yall made tht 637 stuff up lmao

[BrownDiva29]

143... 

[Rasberry870779]

@MsMaestro00 637 means Always(6) and(3) Forever(7)

[ImaniTMisfit]

The way this song ends is so beautiful.

[Bronxgrl1]

"I'll treat you like Valentines Day 365 a year. Make sure that everything you need will always be right here. Now I just refuse to be your typical, ordinary run of the mill garden variety lover. I'll make sure everyday you live will be like Christmas Eve. I wanna make you feel fine, just like a summer breeze. Cuz I just refuse to be your predictable average run of the mill garden variety lover" Musiq Soulchild. I been listening to a lil old school, I forgot how I loved this song. Enjoy it!

[BrownDiva29]

This is the BEST Musiq Album!!.. Love this..

[kweencessX]

My boyfriend and I have our lil saying; 143637 and the 143 it stolen from this song, lol. No one ever knows what the hell we're talking about when we say them numbers.

[Datbitchtheyluv2hate]

@kweencessX what's the 637?????.......lol, just wonderin?!!!

[31MillerTime31]

@Datbitchtheyluv2hate

Where the fuck did "637" come from?

[blkdiimondz]

@31MillerTime31 lmao

[kristenlwms]

the #1 symbolizes the number of letters in the first word "i", the #4 "l-o-v-e", and #3 "y-o-u" It's very unique!

[vintageous88]

He is such a genius. Makes me wanna cry.

[djlazyboy23]

good music makes me look forward to tomorrow...

[meanmanthehat]

i treat you like valentines day 365 a year

[Kjoycem]

I LOOOOOOOVE this song. It has a special place in my heart.

[soundstar]

1 = I

4 = Love

3 = You

[myearsaremyeyes]

Okay, I'm lost and I aint ashamed to admit it, but what exactly does 143 mean? I hear what he's saying and the song is beautiful, but I just don't know what 143 means.

[Perdecat3]

@myearsaremyeyes It means "I Love You"

[myearsaremyeyes]

@Perdecat3 Kind of figured it meant that but I didn't understand how until someone broke it down for me. 1= I 4= Love 3= You...... Don't I feel dumb.

[kennynicejeans]

@Perdecat3 Yep!!! I love you!

[itzpimp]

@Perdecat3 143 represents how many letters in each words.. the letter (word) "I" equals 1.. "love" equals 4 and finally, "you" equals 3.. hope that helps

[31MillerTime31]

@myearsaremyeyes

I=1

Love=4

you=3

ya dig??

[myearsaremyeyes]

@31MillerTime31 OOhhhhh! I get it. Guess all this new wave soda pop R&B kinda dumbs you down a lil. Thank GOD for Musiq Soulchild. Preciate the love fam, ONE.

[larryadams143]

@myearsaremyeyes It does mean I love you... But what he is trying to say is that he couldnt put it in words to how much he can tell the her how much he loves her so he says it numerically... So with that being said 143 everyone. Its been in my screen name since this song

[orangegold1]

@myearsaremyeyes Because there is 1 letter in "I" 4 in "love" and 3 in "you"

[MzCookie1226]

@myearsaremyeyes "I" - 1 letter; "Love" - 4 letters; "You" - 3 letters....sort of a code.

[CountryBoiDread]

@myearsaremyeyes it means I(1) LOVE(4) YOU(3)...

[vasi21207]

1 LETTTER IN THE WORD "I", 4 LETTERS IN THE WORD "LOVE" AND 3 LETTERS IN THE WORD "YOU'"

[vasi21207]

COUNT THE NUMBER IS EACH WORD

I (1)

LOVE (4)

YOU (3)

[MrSanQuentin703]

@myearsaremyeyes seriously 

[Datbitchtheyluv2hate]

@myearsaremyeyes Do you remember back in the day of pagers.......lol, well 143 was a form of textin back & i would put 143 in my boyfriends pager to say 1-i, 4-love, 3-you!

[Datbitchtheyluv2hate]

@myearsaremyeyes Do you remember back in the day of pagers.......lol, well 143 was a form of textin back & i would put 143 in my boyfriends pager to say 1-i, 4-love, 3-you! DAMN i feel old.......lmao!

[myearsaremyeyes]

@Datbitchtheyluv2hate Don't feel bad because I "Definately" remember those pager days like it was yesterday! See back then we were the trend setters and everybody was creative (music wise), but nowadays everybodys' like FOLLOW THE LEADER!

[TheMilitantJay]

@myearsaremyeyes

The number of characters in I (1) Love (4) You (3)

[ChocolateEarth]

@myearsaremyeyes: It's the number of letters that make up each word of "I Love You" I=1, love=4, you=3. :-)

[NCsquaredd]

@myearsaremyeyes its 143 meaning i love you because theres 1 letter in "I", 4 letters in "love" & 3 letters in "you".

[tuffgong272]

1 letter for I, 4 in love, and 3 in you

[DeLayneBrown]

@tuffgong272 Thank you for actually breaking it down! lol

[tuffgong272]

1 letter for i, 4 letters in love, 3 letters in you

[dnaveo]

When ppl used to page each other back in the day (on beepers) they would put 143 which meant I love you and several other number codes to represent something else to each other... kinda like how we write lol, ily ( I love you), imy and lmao nowadays on the web.

[SwiftKickThrowBack]

@myearsaremyeyes You shouldn't be ashamed :) it's not blatantly obvious, but coming to us geeky musicians... 143 refers to the chord progression he uses for the song. 1-4-3. So technically that's what it means, but it's also has a more transcendent meaning to him...like he says, 'it means 'i love you'' :)

[SwiftKickThrowBack]

@SwiftKickThrowBack I should caveat that with, he uses 1-4-3 in PARTS not the whole, but eh who's counting anyhow, it's just a damn good joint

[me3suns]

@myearsaremyeyes -

1 = I

4 = Love

3 = You

He says it in the song...listen again...you'll hear it.
