Alicia Keys - Caged Bird

[musicalmaniaclady13]

i broke the replay button

[NoToTheYayo]

Yes Alicia x

[kayleighkiantony]

A Very Wise Man Told Me To Listen To This And He Was Right! I Was A Caged Bird But Once That Door Was Open That's It I Was Gone! Thank's Bristol! I Miss You! <3 xxx

[SW4GG3R1ST1C]

Alicia needs to start making more music like this.Now her music is not as good as it use to be. I still love her but she starting to die out and no ones listening to her, it just makes me mad when all of her fans, AND HERSELF know she could do way better

[crudewicz021]

This song was inspired by Maya Angelou, who was a great speaker. Alicia, please make more music like this!

[estebancasanova]

this song reminds me of the book "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings"

[4530NanoMio]

@estebancasanova

I think she was inspired by it!!

Have you read the poem??...Its beautiful!!



[MrJclark7]

o no thats was just one song the i have the whole album and i always skip that song lol but the rest of them i listen to and it jus takes me somewhere especially "Thats how strong my love" and "Distance and Time"

[anamneses28]

Looks like Aaliyah at 1:00. Feeling this song though. The piano sounds awesome.

[tazbeats]

Deep

[mizzladie18]

this song expresses me. Thank you so much alicia

[Wacoswim]

i like how alicia doesnt make all her songs long. just makes some of them short/simple and enough to get her point and beauty across

[QueenCoCoaMocha]

I am at this moment writing a paper on Maya Angelou. Its 4AM Mrs.Keys is keeping me awake

[TheJacobiker]

A wild and free spirit should never be caged but let free to fly

[anitabreakone]

Love this song, but I also love Alicia's new music. It's ALL good! Anything she sings or writes is magical. I love, Songs In A Minor, but TEOF is amazing also. There are some really great songs on there also. Alicia is growing as an artist and she has to change in order to do that. She still has a lot of soul, as she did in her first album. This Bed, How it Feels to Fly,Love is Blind,Pray for Forgiveness,That's How Strong My Love Is, just a few great songs from her last album. Love it!

[Bailey6547]

wow alicia keys is so beautiful and talented in every other way that she can not even be compared to others yea i heard a lot of other good R&B and pop singers like Pink or Leona Lewis but Alicia is just so... wow u cant put nothing there at the end of that sentence it just sits there unfinshed because theres too much good to be put there i could go on and on days and days weeks and weeks months and months years and years about freakin AWESOME alicia keys is

[WhyNotXoX7]

I love this song i've had it stuck in my head for the past 5 years since i broke her CD by accident..:( LOL Thank god for youtube!!!!! Now ican listen to it all the time. I can definetly relate to this song...She is so deep!!!

[thaAYCHshow]

the 1st time i heard this one, i dropped 1 1/2 tears...dont know what i was going through but i felt this shit in my soul.

[vampirekid20]

I LOVE THIS!!!!

[scorpiobabezx3]

i love love love her soo much i was so happy when i met her mi fav artist since i was like 5

[Navaughn18]

My favorite artist hands down. I love her. Thumbs up if you agree

[TheMookieboo92]

she is best

[ClickHerex17]

B E A U T I F U L : )

[7788398356]

one of my favourite songs of all time :)

[TheThutt1]

This woman is a true songbird. We have not seen many people with this much soul in a long time. Alicia Keys has given us back the songbird, and she did not have to take her clothes off, or use bad language to do it!!!!!!! Go miss lady!!!!

[KizaSoze25]

@TheThutt1 And Still people say shes sexy this woman is a real musician and a real image of a strong women straight up beautiful rare thing rarething agree?

[TheThutt1]

@KizaSoze25 Yes I do agree. She follows in the footsteps of great women on soul like Miss. Teena Marie, who was a songbird who used her talent instead of her body to get the attention of her audience. Lady Tee never got the credit she deserved for her great work, and now she is no longer with us. But to her credit, we have women like Alicia Keys, Faith Evans, and Mary J. Blige that are following her lead by being strong women who show us their true talent..............their voices!!!!!!!

[KizaSoze25]

I love this song.... Alcia needs to keep doing this dont cange because people are doing it do yourown thing its better people lve what you do!

[yokeelee]

I miss this Alicia!

[hannahjuani101]

this song speaks to me

[bklynboy114]

this is one of her best songs, if you need something relaxing to listen to listen to alicia keyscause her music is the best

[bricia56]

this song is just amazing. im getting choked up listening to it<3 you're my idol Alicia<3

[evielicious1]

Damn this song brings back so many painful memories of a 19 year old me who just got played by her first love...*sigh*.......

[CHELSEAROOM]

My favorite one, i love it!

[filipinoskater24]

did u kno this is on audioswap?

[HUNNIDIP2009]

but you have to try new shit u just cant do the same things.. i love her new album that shit was hittin and try sleeping with a broken heart was the best song on there love it :))

[AlovinofKeys]

does anyone know the newyork song by alicia keys which was writen when she was younger, NOT empire state of mind

[DaNcErWoRlDwIdE]

@AlovinofKeys Harlem Nocturne?

[AlovinofKeys]

@DaNcErWoRlDwIdE no, it has the same concept as empire, she says newyork a bunch of times in the other song, she wears a newyork tshirt, if anyone can help i would be grateful

[AliciakeysArchives]

I Love This Song So Sweet And Relaxing

[ADELEisMONEY]

so beautiful!

[PenelopeAdriane]

[Contedecadente]

[dreamtolive2008]

This song really moves me...beautiful :)

[shkupjan]

Really a pure and a wonderfull song! / Edona

[romanamic]

<3 miss Angelou, <3 miss Keys

[Girliciousalltheway]

read "I know why caged bird sings" by Maya Angelou.. youll understand this song better

[jjwill030]

i just love this whole album its just wonderful

[yellahoney]

this song makes me cry. its soo beautiful.

[TheTwinkleToes22]

ahhh. I love this song =)

[MickyMouzeInTheHouse]

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG! :-|

its so pretty...

Love.. (L)

[shyterieyez]

i love alica keys but i think her new album element of freedom is dissapointing as she is drifting away from what she is known as ...i mean a song with beyonce about being in the club....nah....i love alcia keys ...songs in a minor was really good...but i ain feeling her new songs

[pslopez7]

@shyterieyez, I totally agree.

[parchh]

@shyterieyez actually put it in a love song is about someone showing their love for her in loads of different ways...with beyonce

[DaNcErWoRlDwIdE]

@shyterieyez AMEN. It really does suck. Only one i like is "Unthinkable"

[jetsetter14]

@DaNcErWoRlDwIdE are you ppl INSANE... THAT Cd is the best cd A keys has ever done... Pssht! Ya'll gotta be kiddin me.

[DarkGloomyNights]

@shyterieyez People change her songs are changing with her. Although I see your point. Some artists sell out...

[bklynboy114]

@shyterieyez spelled alicia wrong

[tatjana1707]

@shyterieyez

very mature comment for your age :) bravooo

[EboniieBankz]

@shyterieyez I think her progression is very evident.. These songs just show when she was feeling misunderstood and sad, let down.. You can see that she was younger.. But when you listen to her newest album shes reached a different level of spirituality and she's let go of the pain.. I don't see anything wrong with that.. She always stay real, and true.. To herself.. And that's always most important..

[jetsetter14]

@EboniieBankz I HONESTLY don't know WTF he/she's talking about... Element of Freedom is BRILLIANT! <3

[KrfNYC2]

@shyterieyez Wow. I haven't head her latest album but that sounds pretty dissapointing.

[SuggaahStarr]

i can relate to this song so much, it's hard to hold back my tears whenever i listen to this, but yeah..this song is amazing.

[jayjay1015jp]

caged bird is a song about someone who is beautiful on the outside but wonders why everyone doesnt see past her beauty and see's her, why they dont just try to know her for her beauty. This is the most beautiful song i've heard!!!

[bklynchicka994]

umm who the hell are u taking about because sure ain't ALICIA KEYS!

[thedecimator980]

@delocollier Are you serious? Have you lost your mind? Alicia Keys is a great singer. You must listen to heavy metal all the time, or you must have a lot of crap in your ears. Alicia Keys can probably sing better than you. I bet a ROCK could sing better than you.

[TheChidaa]

everybody that listens to her music feels like that bird i think.

[RosalieNijsen]

It's about hoping and dreaming for the day that you can fly ... It's about life. There are sometimes in each life that you are being hold down by situations... but that's the cagebird that sings (dreams) until the day she can spread her wings and beauty ;) and become what she wants to be in life... Free, I guess

[cuhhxrayyxzeee]

I feel like that bird....

[tommy12887]

Similarto Sia - Butterflies, these songs sound vaguely the same, and a love them both.

[SelenaGuillen]

This song is supposed to be about 'i know why the caged bird sings' book..Oo..and like its not about actually singing lmfao! ...well i guess it could be about that ..but yeah. The song is good too.

[outtathisworld89]

love the song

[jessiemisty101]

This is exactly how I feel about my sister- she never lets me sing. She would do anything to make me stop. But, you know, it's hard to stop doing something you love. Singing to me is like breathing- I can't live without it. It's the only time I actually feel better about myself- no matter if I'm good or not. I'd sing softly for her account, but it was never enough. She wanted me to stop all together. But I love to sing- and she, or anyone else, can change that. I'm definitely a caged bird.

[NadiaRehmanMusic]

I kno exactly how u feel, singing is like breathing 2 me becuase life can be realli hard sometimes but i kno wen i sing i'm free, keep on singing no matta wat anyone says :) xxx

[1a1a2a3a]

wow ur sister sounds nice....

[jessiemisty101]

Yeah... she's a saint!

[sissyhomer]

i feel just like that bird. i love this song

[12345totalcutty7]

i listen to this song every time im sad it does the trick

[SETITOFF530]

me too

[claziiie]

gorgeous song! *tear*

[12345totalcutty7]

wow (softly in a good way)

[sillygall]

each and everyday i wonder why cant there be more classic artist like her she is real

and this song is is just

i cant even put it into words

[Socialbutterfly3000]

i wish thier wre more songs ike this

[TheCharleycat]

maya angelou woot!

[mazon111]

How can anyone not love this song? It's so beautiful.

[remy4life2]

this song does it for me each and every time.

[areyouhungryy]

Amazingly beautiful and left me with tears running down my face. Alicia Keys is perfection. Just hearing that flawless voice and those words makes my whole life (so far) flash before my eyes and it really touches my heart. There are so many ppl who can relate to this.

She's just simply amazing.

[Musiciswifmeh]

dis amazinly beautiful....it makes meh think bout my life && wht ive been thru but im glad i can express myself thru writen like she can tho frm time 2 time i get confused && writers block but dnt we all hav tht time or moment where we get stuck.......... :(

[123joshyy]

I can't help thinking about her in her teenage years when I listen to this song. Catching the train on her own, to school and work to the point where she got straight A's and graduated as valedictorian. Even though there were pimps, prostitutes, lunatics and crime around she kept to herself and came out as complete perfection. Truly beautiful soul.

[alexismontogomery]

i wonder why she didnt play this at michaels memorial such a touching bird i think she is the only artist who had as much emotion as michael god bless alicia keys for such a pure talented soul r.i.p michael

[Davonna101]

I sang this sung in the talent show \

[kellingtonthegreat]

my homegirl rite thur

[pussiecyatdoll]

Inspired by the movie, "I know why the caged bird sings" with Maya Angelou

[stoningking]

which was inspired by the book, by Maya

[Crazzymuse]

This song has nothing to do with him. This song is about a woman feeling objectified and imprisoned. Every woman.

[stoningking]

very well said! (:

[ivoryman996]

I dont really like alicia keys but i like this =]

[correastephanie]

this song makes me think of Michael Jackson. He was caged by his own celebrity.

[RishieSoOrijinawl]

caged by his own fame you mean!??

[KJSPianoGoddess]

i can relate to this song.

i feel like this at times.

[royalty333]

I really love alicia keys

I feel like in ways this is her best album

[joetheganjafarmer]

this song making me thinking

[slayershellman]

fuck you coon bitch

[Candi305]

"through my smile i cry"

[bekahcute]

i feel like this from time 2 time

[SpringXrain]

i don't know if this song is a reference to it but the songs reminds me of the poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar called Sympathy

[Lea6241]

its the poem by maya angelou

[SpringXrain]

[brealsoul]

ppl don t see what they have untill they lose it, it s the same with freedom as everything else. The more u got, the more used u get to it and forget how precious and unique the thing u had really was...
