India Arie - The Heart of the Matter w/lyrics

[MrZastyak]

A great Don Henley song, although I like India Arie' voice and some of her songs, Don Henley's Heart of the Matter is the winner here, it's a fav.

[rhiiiiaction]

I love this lady!



[earthmother]

excellent

[sadproduction1]

I'm starting to live without you and even though it's strange, it is a time of reflection. Somewhere along the way I lost me and it was just all about you because I loved you so much. You walked away and out of my life without an explanation. I thought I knew you but I was wrong. I was "crushed" but I'm ok. It's about forgiveness. Thank you India Arie for this "Most Excellent" song. Thank you. Stay blessed.

@sadproduction1 i went through the exact same thing. everything became about my ex and i forgot about myself. he ended up leaving me and finding a new girlfriend who i knew.. but i forgive him, and we remain friends. im not angry anymore :)

it is an amazing song, hope your doing okay

[sadproduction1]

@Renayy92 Hey girl, 2 months later and I am great. I was even able to speak to him and forgive him verbally because I had done it in my heart. I am Better not Bitter. Time and Tears Heals ALL wounds.

[romelmangawahan]

your voice is so amazing, how beautiful...

[pennlouise]

I'm putting this song on loop. I just broke up with my boyfriend and this makes my mind at ease and makes me take the negativity out of my head. People makes mistakes, things doesn't work out, we get angry, we get frustrated. But we should all forgive each other... and ourselves. :)

[MsCarnations]

Beautiful and Real Song.....

first listen from OST.Sex and The City

[jlpetty85]

This version, India's version, touches my soul and is one of my favorite songs of all time by far. Brings so much emotion to the surface for me, and India always has an amazing way of putting it into perspective. If you keep carrying that anger, it will eat you up inside....ITS ABOUT FORGIVENESS.

[msscandalous06]

@jlpetty85 Beautiful words ! thank you for sharing your wise thoughts

FORGIVENESS! Such a strong word ..

[memyselfI255]

FORGIVENESS! Such a astrong word ..

[shoniwatsitsiyvonne1]

OMG!!!!DIS IS AWESOME

[unheardfaults]

India Arie did NOT write this song. A very wise man named Don Henley wrote this song way back when. Though she does sing it well, it is NOTHING like the original.

[alw1750]

@unheardfaults so what?



[memyselfI255]

The wisest song I have ever heard!

[thekendra3051]

A beautiful song from a beautiful woman= AWESOME!

Music could'nt possibly get any better than this!

Her music is needed.!

[jazzymuri]

@thekendra3051 well technically it isn't her song, it is Don Henley's...but regardless she does it so much justice. Great to hear her sing it.

[9110lulu]

[Ernegger81]

India is wonderful!

[miranda6644]

[litchic2577]

A beautiful rendition of an already beautiful song. I think she does Don Henley proud here. 

[fanfare78]

[wmc870]

omg!! is amazing song!

[rmbb10]

Nice; beautiful song.

[bryanmantle]

Wow, that's so much worse than the original. It's such a good song, though, that I can't dislike any version I've heard. If any of you get a chance, listen to a live version of this by Don Henley and/or the Eagles.

[Woodywood003]

I was looking for this song!!! This song has soul!!!

[zerickboo]

i would like to dedicate this to my greatest love of my life, her name is cherry...i used to call her mylady. After all the years has past....no one can ever replace her in my heart...but sad to say shes not mine anymore...how i wish, i would like to speak with mr. cupid and ask for another chance...:x foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­.wishful thinking..hmmmmmm

[mnsngrl8008]

@zerickboo That's really sweet. Were you good to her? Was she good to you? 

[chrissmissaert]

Right on Pierre! Don Henley to be more precise. India does a nice cover but check out Don! Truth makes everyone swoon! Chris

[pierrek13]

THE HEART OF THE MATTER IS AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER AN OLD SONG ORIGINALLY DONE BY THE EAGLES

[ZakIkich]

@pierrek13 don henley

[rfgstl]

@MidnightBlueSummit > India is covering this song, she didn't write it. It was written by Don Henley.
