[notaclerk1]

when this song came out I used to request it for my girl! very cool

[Darckcloud73]

Damn!! Oletta Adams is Gorgeous!!! And FINE!! Why did I always imagine her to look like that chick who sang better days(Dianne Reeves)??

[inform4h]

She's got amazing voice with a beautiful lyric. I saw her in 1992 at Oprah's show for the first time.

Love the bass line. So clean. And of course, Oleta is just awesome.

[misscharlottesmith]

I'm fifteen and this has been my favourite song since the moment i first heard my mam listening to it a few years ago. I love it so much, that today i'm singing it for my music exam. Oleta adams is such an ispiration!

[VideoWin1]

Bob Marley says in effect music "hits" you without hurting you. This one hits the soul. Thank my dear Oleta A Adam.

[CAGED1702]

28 people have no ears & no heart..! This is one of the most amazing songs ever..!

[osurpless]

Been looking for this song for 12 years, even since I heard it in an episode of Angel from Season 2! It's a great and moving song that reminds me of Mr. Mister's Broken Wings. Thanks for the help, serpent81 from IMDB!

[NOTW481991]

I will never forget seeing her on Oprah...I was in love with her from the moment I first heard her on FM 102 Alexandria La.

[jazmondo888]

if jesus was still walking with us as in the year dot, this would be his No 1

[ladyfuschia]

@jazmondo888 I think you're probably right! And I bet He'a also like "Awaiting On You All" by George Harrison too!! And "Is It Today Lord?" by The Strawbs. And "Don't Give Up" with Michael McDonald and Mairre Brennen! I hope you can find them!

[lebrunn1]

one of the best song all time!!!!!!!!!!!

[11aekaras]

27 persons never got there..

[Treadlightlyful]

[josodoyo]

I love '89's

[mickeydogtube]

One of my all time favorites... always wanted to fall in love to this song... maybe some day.

[MrFilamjake]

wish i'd be able to sing this on a stage and give justice to it!

[krsball]

I had this on cassette single and haven't heard it in a long time. Four bars in and I have goosebumps! Still just as great as it was in the 90's!

[altheahewitt]

beautiful.... bellisima!

[Coliseum76]

Altro che Lady Gaga... questa è musica, Oleta è una vera artista!!! Fuck Lady Gaga!

[fabulousgerro66]

A Nugget of music in a music world too full with dust.

[brurain]

good oleta

[gunsnhalen]

Thank GOD Roland & Curt discovered her! not only are TFF one of my favorite bands, after discovering on Woman In Chains & Badmans song.. looked at here amazing solo stuff. She is not one of my favorites(:

[Odaliskaable]

Nel mio cuore ...... " c'è sempre qualcosa da superare __

se potessi avere una strada semplice

sicuramente tu saresti più vicino _____

ho bisogno che tu sia più vicino _______ "

[786carrera]

this song is too short, i dont want it to end

[NubianRockerChick]

my mom used to play this all the time when I was little girl <3

[mrgiovanni1946]

what a voice!

[d11i37n31]

Beautiful. I am so greatful for inventions like the MP3 and IPOD. I can have my music and go back in time anytime I want.

[vittoriabarni1]

i still love you...that's all i have to say.

[tikentiken]

I love this song and she have a very goog voice.....

[Mr6sess]

Another night sitting here thinking about You. What is your name? What is your favorite color.... food.......place to go?.... etc. Thinking of how it will feel when we touch and when we share our first laugh and kiss. My Love: I dream of you daily. I'm already working hard to be the Man you need me to be for You and Baby...... I can't wait for you to get here and stay forever.

[TheBargar]

never tired of hearing this what a voice

[MlleChloe26]

I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ove *_______________*

[DaddyTre65]

This is a PERFECT match of a voice to lyrics to music. Oleta Adams is hauntingly soulful and the musicians match that mood. This is a CLASSIC.

[mickeydogtube]

@DaddyTre65 Couldn't agree more...

[PhoenixxxStar]

For those who are accomplished piano players, could you answer me this. In terms of notes, is this a hard song to play on Piano??? I'm learning but I'm only on the Rt hand notes an' am practicing those. I can play "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star with my Rt hand but am wanting to jump ahead. Patience......

[fenderdre]

who know`s that feeling of a inpossible love wich you want so bad but seems so difficult at the same tame. that 1000 miles cant keep me away from you, ill do what ever it takes.

i love you K

[calmtides]

21 years later and this song still brings tears to my eyes. 

[emanuelabianca]

24 people are racist!!!

[rorrimage]

I saw Oleta with her band last year at a club in Hollywood. For me it was a dream come true to finally see her live right in front of me singing. Loved every minute of it. She is a class act.

[MsHearty12]

2 thumbs up!

[dianedavis36540]

Memories, bitter sweet.

[UltimateCharm]

0:43 - I'm pretty sure Arab men have other ways of transportation such as big fancy cars or limos.

[dianedavis36540]

@UltimateCharm or camels even

[TheSofoxy1]

Beautiful song & Beautifully sang..

[solentgreenispeople]

i remember i once saw a girl i was with at school dance to this, i was with my pals, and we watched leona dance to this, it took my breath away, this song will always be Leona Allum dancing like the princess she was in my heart xx

[TheBrawn]

24 people can't get there

[docrocful]

This song sends a simple but intense message. The vocals and the arrangement is outstanding. It brings me back to the last time I saw my daughter, so long ago.

[55lauriec]

A very beautiful song

[joemaldonado3]

this is my mom's fave song ...!

[NatalieTMedia]

is this the lady from M people or do i have bad eyes.

[kezie666666]

stunning song

[nooyawkfun]

There's something magical about this song that figuratively transports me across space.

[Idonteatdog]

Who said the nineties music was pure shit?

[dpick21]

I have a twin sister..many miles and many states separate us....many mountains..many lakes...perhaps not oceans...but every time I hear this....I think of her...and I long to be with her...so many things keep us apart..not mountains...not oceans ...but what are mountains..what are oceans...just excuses....they are my mountains and my oceans...just want to be with her....

[Pleaver]

I was much younger the first time I heard this song, much more emotionally exposed and vulnerable. I was stunned. I have never forgotten it. Now I am 42 with a 2 year old girl that I love more than life itself. I no longer think of lost loves when I hear this, but of my little girl who warms my heart every single day.

[MrDjsmudge]

@Pleaver ditto,nice literation,keep on keeping on

[MiyaGeorginaJoi]

im 19 and this still shakes me to my core. beautiful, powerful, & emotional, a song that should reach all ages. i only wish i could sing like her.

[lword1970]

simply one of the best songs ever !!!

[agentm6009]

always loved this song !!!!!

[rawbirbella]

Best song of the universe - ever!!

[MrTheBigwave]

The thought sometimes creates imaginary road to go, start walking on this road that is supported only by threads of hope. Cross seas, mountains and endless plains, all that you do to see if the end of your walk you will find that someone who, like yourself, is taking his road to meet you ...

[megasnoopy72]

beautiful 

[MrApolloTom]

2:03 Is that the first ever appearance of "the robot"?

[jhinx0717]

<3

[travsam767]

happiness is having someone to dance with when you hear a song as powerful as this. I fear that I will never be happy again. Until I come to you in Heanen. R.I.P. Sheila. I still Love you.

[EdwardNorth]

This song means a lot to me... a former airline pilot who is trying to piece his life back together again after a painful divorce.

This song makes me think of what many pilots have to go through just to be with their families, especially during the holidays. Always traveling, always wishing they could be back home... wishing that some way... somehow... they could get there. Reach them on an airplane. Get there, even just for a fleeting moment... if only they could.

[1784enzo1784]

i hear a real music...a real art.

[jazzycm]

I am so in love with Oleta since 1995 and the love is still there still burning

I wish there was a way I coud let her know! I know there are many rivers to cross to reach her!!

[SuperBIBLEMAN1]

OH, OLE TA,GOT ME TRYING TO GET SO CLOSE TO GOD..........CHARLES

[kris7167]

[buux1000]

this song is difinetly concerns about me because I left my wife somewhere I couldn't reach.

[esacnitsuj1]

This is so Beautiful & so is Oleta Adams. Such a talent! :-)

[genevamusiclab]

Please, does somebody have the link for Anastacia's video or recording of the interpretation of this song? thanx so much! Geneva

[Utubedabrave]

I guess 21 folks out there couldn't Get Here!!!! LOL

[FTMChocolateBearBoi]

21 dislikes.. Seriously why bother.. This is beautiful

[DelanoProfundo]

Has anyone out there heard the parody of this song. It starts off something like this...'You can f*ck me,,," then she sings of the various ways this can be done in the song? I need the song title and artist.

[DesiredStormClothing]

@DelanoProfundo It's called fuck me by Wendy Ho from the album album name

The Gospel According To Ho.

[lordcron]

This is an artist revisited after learning she was found by Roland the front singer of Tears for Fears. That guy has Amazing insight. Love it!

[krishaeD]

I'm 14 And I Love The 70's, 80's, And 90'S Music Way Better Than Our Junk Today

[Lovealways180]

I dedicate this song to my daddy who I never knew. I don't care how you get here just GET HERE if you can!!!!

[xxJulianMo1981]

When I had to leave my other half due to family, cultural reasons, and country issues,,He Cried so much, and gave me this song in a CD, and didn't tell me anything about, When I reached home I heard it, and it made me in love with him even stronger. I am happy to announce that i'v been with this person for almost 11 years, and this song Played a big part of our relationship. We travel the world just to see each other, We always say...Nothing can stop us !!!

[cosmicrider287]

one of the very best songs of the 90ies.

[markalvinr34]

This song really reminds of our love ones who are apart... "I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can..."

[TheBellgreenboy]

this song reminds me of when my dad was in the gulf war,1990-1991, he was ther for six months,i was only 10,we were based in germany,this song was released, not knowing if he was gona come home dead oor alive was hard on us and my mum,but he did,i remember going to the army barracks with my mum brother and sister,and all the coaches arriving with all the soliders on,and my dad came walking over to us,my mum sobbing,this song reminds me of you dad, my hero xxx

[brucekat53]

I'll be there quick!!!!

[fabulousvintage]

I recall when this was being used during the GULF WAR...I almost joined the Marines back then...So, I truly appreciate our nation's military!! God bless all past/present military.

[nooyawkfun]

There is something so wonderful about her voice that just suits this song beautifully!

[MyRhodes73Online]

Thank you for this upload :-)

[TheMahroe224]

I truly believe that once you love someone..you will find ways to be there w/ her.I'm still in pain, but I know it's for the better,I will surely miss that man...9

[manweller1]

Those were the days.

[alextw13jf]

One of the best songs ever made; love both Oleta and Brenda's versions. Oleta's voice and the overall arrangement in this one is so good I can hardly refrain from crying. Cherry on the cake, Pino Palladino literally makes the bass talk. Timeless classic.

PS: Dear YouTube, please erase that bloody dislike button once and for all!! There are so many brainless time-wasters around; don't give these losers the chance to smear their crap and besmirch the world. Please!!!!

[pulpsprstr]

@alextw13jf Just because someone doesn't like the same things as you do doesn't mean they are "smearing crap".

[akirako123]

My best......

[AngelAras1]

I'm so glad I read that Yahoo Article on "One Hit Wonders" because then I wouldn't have been reunited with this classic. (^_^)

[Blackhoundrise]

@AngelAras1

love you for saying that. this is beautiful music. even hardcore grumpy guys like me sleep well listening to this and knowing i gotta "get there..."

[AngelAras1]

@Blackhoundrise Haha! Exactly! For those who may look at it in the same light as I do, this song is quite inspirational in every aspect of life and regardless of age, race, or sexual orientation, we're all trying to get somewhere, I just hope that it's in comparison to the sincerity and love of this song.

[Blackhoundrise]

19 ppl gaga fans! to hell with them!

I have listened to this song for 20 years and I never ire of it. Her rendition? Unbelievable. Beautiful voice and heartfelt passion.

[Daravenlr]

This song gives me extreme impotence .

[tsmokey99]

I saw her in concert in the late 90's when she was touring and opening for Michael Bolton...Great concert!!!

[yankeedoodlecajun]

What a great song, and a great voice. In fact, this whole album was full of wonderfully soulful ballads and grooves. Can't believe she never hit it big again. One of THE best voices I have heard in the last 20 years.

[brownthunderism]

a one hit wonder but a great song.

[rievans57]
