Polecam.

[MickeySerbia1991]

Sax + Sade = Something better than perfection...

[papolucky]

lovely song!!, so tender, so brilliant!! love it!!

[skrzypol123]

Jezebel became associated with false prophets and fallen women. In some interpretations, her dressing in finery and putting on makeup before her execution led to the association of use of cosmetics with "painted women" or prostitutes.

[mynameisdady]

brilliant song. My mum used to play it in the car.

[DWaq32]

I love you Sade, forever and ever!

[euroszkeptikus]

Jezebel, you don't have to put on the red light

[queenray1]

This song is not talkin bout Jezebel from the bible, its talkin bout a women who is either a stripper or prostitute or both, Listen to the lyrics

[HazelSmurf]

@queenray1 she's not talking about anyone specifically but everyone specifically.

[apatriotone]

@queenray1 OMG. You could appreciate the song better if you listened to the lyrics AND understood them. Nobody would think she is LITERALLY speaking of the woman in the bible. The reason the name "Jezabel" has come to be associated with women who are jaded is PRECISELY from the biblical context. I can't believe there are so many people who don't know the context of words and expressions they hear all the time. It's the same Delilah, though used less often, or if someone called you Judas.

[BonafydeMusic]

@ jezebel/jezzy is modern term slag for a hoe/slut

[TiffyBear]

@BonafydeMusic No I meant the actually etymology. Nevermind I'll look it up.

[BonafydeMusic]

im buyin this on itunes now!!

[TiffyBear]

@BonafydeMusic What does the name mean?

[mryankeeh]

amazing voice.....

[cat8919]

Very interesting song...

[viego215]

only sade can take a story of a prostitute and make it a beautiful song thats why she is the best!

[cat8919]

@viego215 the girl this song is about is a prostitute? How did you know that?

[viego215]

@cat8919 (jazebel...wat a bell.. looks like a princess in her new dress..how did get that?.. do you really wanna really to no she said it would seem thats shes on her way... its more more then just a dream she put on her stalking and shoes.. she had nothing to lose.. she said it was worth it..) its all hidden in the lirics thats why she the best! :-) it starts at 1:25 if you wanna hear it

[cat8919]

@viego215 yeah, I guess it makes sense if you think about it.

[Ndure13]

@cat8919 like viego said, plus the word jezebel is a slang term for a prostitute.

[cat8919]

@Ndure13 that's true... although the name Jezebel actually has a positive meaning.

[TiffyBear]

@viego215 Jezebel wasn't a prostitue, why does everyone keep saying that? She was a queen who was seen as evil in the eyes of god's prophets so they killed her eventually. Her society was matriarchal so of course they killed her.

[viego215]

@TiffyBear really? didnt know that, thanks for the info!!! :-)

[LaTainaIndia]

@viego215 - She's talking about the effects of poverty on a female child.

[Mr813Fla]

@TiffyBear Wow u r so right.... I guess when i was young, people use to associate the name Jezebel and loose women or prostitutes; but I just looked it up and she was indeed a Queen. More so a Queen that manipulated and had a role in the killing several prophets in Israel. Great correction.

[TiffyBear]

@Mr813Fla No problem! :-)

[apatriotone]

@TiffyBear Wikipedia does a decent job of explaining why a Jezebel is generally considered a fallen woman (i.e., immoral or promiscuous) and that includes prostitution ; right or wrong, that's the modern Western interpretation of the name.

[omnisphera]

@apatriotone plus the name sounds jewelish, and women+jewels makes men think of "wrong" kind of woman.

[TiffyBear]

@apatriotone Oh because Wikipedia is never wrong.

[apatriotone]

@TiffyBear - hey Tiff, baby, Wikipedia is wrong all the time, just less wrong than the random thoughts of the odd poster. My advise: stay in school.

[NacodaLupine]

@TiffyBear In this song, it's widely believed that the woman Sade is talking about is called Jezebel.

[strawberrybanana28]

@NacodaLupine or maybe it cud be a pun

[TiffyBear]

@NacodaLupine But the woman's name is still in refrence to the bibical queen. How many women name Jezebel do you know? She's a wayward woman thats why her name is Jezebel in the song.

[2twixangel2]

@TiffyBear that's where the meaning comes from... So I suppose she could have been promiscuous... Either that or promiscuity was seen as wrong, so the meaning of jezebel being a promiscuous woman/prostitute was probably derived from that.

[huehnerfickers]

@TiffyBear Sorry Tiffy but Jezebel WAS a prostitute. She used to hang out with Roxanne...

[freestylethemag]

@TiffyBear but she says "Jezebel wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth" and "How did you get that, 'do you really want to know' she said", "Try and show her a better way she'll say you don't know what you've been missing and she won't be listening", ...

I know of your reference to the Bible but I think this is a diff Jezebel Sade is talking about but I guess only Sade would know lol I'd rather think of it your way anywho

[kaitousana]

amazing!!!

[fairytale3100]

i love that song....its amazing....perfect!!!!

[Zarodishka]

what a beatyfull song

[alekstash]

who d f. can not to like this !?? i think these 7 ppl are retarded !!!

[The2502killbill]

I'm feeling like Jezbel :)) I love this song REALLY

[alekstash]

do u think they really know that jezebel !??? is she a real person ??

[busysignal2006]

@alekstash the name jezebel is a metaphor for a promiscuous woman.

[alekstash]

@busysignal2006  i really didn't know that, so now i know !!! :DD ty

[jkiss35]

Love her

[EXCLUSIVENEXOTIC]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE

[L0vvveMM12]

[catchtwentytw022tube]

this song played during the most romantic evening of my whole entire life...and that's hard to do at a ten men cum-slam.

[DOKt00n]

@catchtwentytw022tube dude LOL

[WonderWomanFan4life]

I love SADE... her music is timeless. Like whether I am listening to Is It a crime, this one or As Never As Good as the First one.. They seem like they are in a STYLE or Genre all of their own. I love this song. Very haunting, sexy, and interesting story.

[LaceyBellissimo]

Absolutely timeless. <3

[Babybonitademas]

GREAT!!!

[msOctober12]

Only Sade could make a song about prostitution sound so elegant....

[RyGil91]

@msOctober12

This song is about prostitution? I thought it was about the evil princess in the Bible. King Ahab's wife.

[smrfox99]

4:45-4:57 <---The sax playing by Stuart Colin Matthewman I believe...is AMAZING...shivers..

[allmotork]

damm brings back memories.. my mom lovessss sade me and my brother use to be forced to listen to the cd in the car when we were little lol.. now i love sade

[damnatiodesign]

@allmotork THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME! HAHAHAHA, i love her now! thanks parents!

[LaceyBellissimo]

@allmotork Jaja my dad used to put on Sade when we had to clean the house and I hated her, but now I love her. <3

[WonderWomanFan4life]

@LaceyBellissimo

Thats funny. My dad used to play songs too when he cleaned. He was a GREAT cleaner too. Better cleaner than my mom. But he was EX Military. I mean he took cleaning so serious. Everything was in order. OMG.

[mrdk216]

owwwwwwww

[slyrahh2k7]

Sade's voice is like a hot cup of Caf'e "Ole,

[slyrahh2k7]

[NaturallyCandi]

[f2thes]

@NaturallyCandi

[19flavia75]

Love this song.

[hittzthagreat]

@johnex3303 it sounds like she's singing about a prostitute...nice song to have sex too..not lol

[VegetaAFH]

@hittzthagreat most of sade's music can love be made to

[deefirst]

HER VOICE IS SO SENSUAL AND SOFT. IT FORCES YOU TO LISTEN.

[UKTIPZMUSIC]

[avi15150]

Sings to my soul

[Laurajaramago]

increible cancion

[ariboo94]

i love this song i listen to it every night wen i go to sleep.

[sevenfoekaotik]

reach for the stars she said and the sun is going to shine ..damn

[johnex3303]

This song is my number 1 love making song of all time. Back in 1986 when this first came out, I was 24 and single. When I picked up my dates, I had a Sade cassette playing in my car. When we got back to my place later that night, I had Jezebel playing in the bedroom when it was time. Can you say "deep hot kissing and clothes peeling off" LOL. Jezebel set the mood like no other. Thank You Sade for a wonderful love making song.

[angieluna42]

@johnex3303 i feel you on that one. lol

[Ladydaay24]

love Sade. Amazing singer and beautiful woman!!! extraordinairy!

[Wisniowousta]

Pokochałam.........

[bigjeprivate]

I know a few Jezebels myself..lol

[naturalmztik]

Saxophone!

[jmelanie91]

he is blowing that horn!!! damn

[chicagoconnoisseur]

Classic blues cut here! for some reason, my favorite part starts right here 2:43

[kiramouse]

@chicagoconnoisseur Sounds like a Rhodes 88 key keyboard playing with that sax.

[idalina09]

this is my favorite Sade song. its so beautiful and sad.

[vitarablu1]

Jezebel was a wicked Queen dat wuld do anything to get what she wanted...Love to control and manipulate and full of perversion...She couldnt stand anyone who was stronger than her and would even kill if anyone stood in her way and has a hate for all men even tho she was married to a King!!! Now u read the rest... this is all in the bible, so its very unlikely dat Sade was even thinkin' about the Jezebel in da bible!!! :)

[angieluna42]

@vitarablu1 wow, way to kill a song and the mood.

[TheKeyToLifeIsPeace]

@vitarablu1 C-C-C-C-C-Combo Combo breaker

[whizzle209]

she is speaking of? jezebel? from the bible?

[HiTiLLiDiE602]

@whizzle209 kna shes singing about a prostitute, beautiful song tho

[suthernroyalty]

@whizzle209 She talkin about a woman or women that are using ppl through sex. for gains...

[whizzle209]

@suthernroyalty in the bible, her name is jezebel, and she is an evil sprit.

[suthernroyalty]

@whizzle209 Well in the song it doesn't sound like a biblical reference. So, which Bible, Hebrew, Muslim or Christian. Then what is the Etymology of the word or name? In one text Yeshua translates to Jesus.

[doulos737]

@suthernroyalty In the OT books of 1 and 2 Kings of the Bible, Jezebel was the evil wife of King Ahab. Her ambition was to convert all in the kingdom to worship the false god of Baal. She had many Believers in the True God murdered. She was eventually thrown out a window and eaten by dogs to the bone like the Prophet Elijah prophesied. I believe the name is cursed as a result of her evil.

[HisNameIsJay]

this song just goes through you..makes you hear music in a way you never knew existed...i don't even know how else to describe it...it's just surreal..

[masterlalo18]

ich liebe das sax

[smbrox]

Sade's voice is like a warm blanket on a cold day...you can wrap it around you

[smbrox]

nahhh!...not gay...was prolly shitfaced....

[LaTainaIndia]

@smbrox - Beautoful analogy.

[smbrox]

@LaTainaIndia thank you..8 )

[margaritoula]

amazing

[HipHop226]

i need a jezebel

[funkateerkitty]

By the time she blinks,

you'll know,

she won't be listenin'

"Every winter was a war she said, I want to get what's mine."

There is nothing like the freezing cold when you have NOTHING. Take it from a veteran. The kind of cold that slices straight through your bones, like fire and icy-hot blades being driven into you, no shelter, no one to save you, no where to hide from it.

[funkateerkitty]

Screaming to an empty world and fearing that God won't listen to your cries for help and provide any type of shelter from that AWFUL COLD. Got so cold, people in their 20's and 30's were being found dead in their freezing apartments...pneumonia, and/or the elements. That's being poor, that's being homeless. Thank you Jesus for helping me when I couldn't help myself.

[bellelives99]

god the saxophone who plays should be making billions... its so beautiful in this song

[rastony4]

Sade is the name of the band mother chickens!!! Just so you know.....
