[Genx4eva]

I just get lost in her music and drift away...it's soothing and mesmerising

[MoradoGurl213]

this gave me nothing but straight chills.

[ishalikes]

beautiful.... apsolutely beautiful.

[MizzPrettyPrettyGyal]

my bff from back in the day - her older sister and us 2 in the purple Suzuki drivin' around L.A.!!! I'd never heard it before they played it for me, and I used to ask her to put it on repeat for me!!!

[SongCreator71]

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SADE, GOD BLESS YOU

[foefoeB]

Love this song.. Reminds me of the hot summer in Texas last year.. It used to remind me of an ex. but I'm glad it doesn't anymore.

[katoppofu]

this is my baby tell the day i die.. i love her.. you hear the short and choppe notes.. put together to make a master piece .. perfect breath control . and her from is always solid.. i love her.. i want to marry her one day .. i lose myself in her music and i bet if you had a bad day .. she will melt you away .

[PRETTYGIRL26792711]

omg she is so amazing i love her music 

[TheDabest93]

Happy Birthday Sade!

[monikhelpful]

Muito linda, boa pra tocar quando se está abraçadinho com alguém naquele frio gostoso... Ai ai, o amor..

[interpreteurlawyer]

She sings like an angel.....

[RodaSmash]

Melissa has weird taste.

[swats21ep]

it doesnt matter where i am...im on a beach when i hear this song

[destiny66]

Said it before and I'll say the shit again... 1:50 - 2:30 is a remarkable piece of music. Almost too much for me to handle sometimes...

[AntoinetteWolf]

i cant hate you, though i have tried <3

[goldenbuddafly]

This song just.....I can't begin to describe how I feel when I listen to this ;-)

[palmtrees89]

@goldenbuddafly go on. .say it. . .just say it. .yeahhh baby. lol

[julianborabora]

:x

[TheCasu305]

This song reminds me of winter. Tons of snow and coldness from the winds far in the mountains somewhere

[AnnaNickiBarb]

This song takes you away into another world............

[ZaheedaNaheedya]

My ideal Saturday... relaxing at home, no cares or concerns, and Sade's greatest hits on rotation... glass of red... idle thoughts... this music does it for me... relaxes me... soothes me...

[destiny66]

@ZaheedaNaheedya

Sounds like a great Saturday. Word up.

[blaztradiouz666]

This gives me the feeling of faith that my goddess will happen to my life.hooking up and compromising isnt in my blood.

[essiusc]

this song is perfection....it's like walking along the shore looking at a beautiful evening sky complete with bright stars and a big orange moon............sigh..........­...

[flukediggy]

Many children were conceived to this song. Best believe that. 

[23jordanian]

Blimey!!! what a smooveee one this is...just have to replay it

[nikkidice52392]

im scared to fall in love but at the same time,hearing songs like this make me want too.If someone can make you feel this way,just by existing,than that is wonderful.That is worth having

[jussara2851]

AMAZING =)

[2xKayx10]

This song changed my life. I understood so many things about my heart. Thank you Sade for this pure moment of music.

[michaelsmorrison]

Good Love

We are proud of what we each believe

But should our love intercede

We both need a future

For all our unborn dreams

We both need good love

M.S. Morrison

[blackdarla]

@michaelsmorrison ,you sound like a selfish, greedy motherfucker. 

[trao1964]

I have that CD as well and words fail to describe how wonderful it is. Imo, no one has and no one ever will sing love like Sade. She is the ruler of my heart ;)

[n1blackman4u]

such a beautiful woman and talented artist

[TheJasmine687]

this song iz special to me :) its so beautiful n soothing n when u close ur eyes u can pic a sandy beach with a wonderufl view of the sun setting

[rhomeo1]

I love Stuart Matthewman's guitar playing on this song.

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

Sades music all sounds the same to me.

[MrChewymentos]

@ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD yup, consistently good... lol, sometimes sounding the same is everything other artists dont do, and sometimes its for the worst... Sade has plenty of variety in her music...

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

@MrChewymentos I have to admit I am not a fan, but she is talented. I think there are some artists that have the same kind of style that runs through all their music, enya,oasis,the pet shop boys are to name but a few. This music is so soothing you could play it in a middle of a thunderstorm and it would probably bring the storm to a halt.

[PoochMount18]

@ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD Stop listening to it then.

[ashleycc722]

"but i cant hate you, though i have tried"------- Sade is an angel. her lyrics are so deep. i love her

[paintbazz1]

Timeless.

[kee2luv]

I still really, really, love u.....aahhh;-) takes my breath away......

[GEOF19801]

sade tankiou for the best fantastig best of sade ever

[jovidevil]

I have this CD...its called the best of sade for a reason! Thanks for uploading :)

[TheCasu305]

I listened to this song for the first time when I was twelve and I was amazed at how much imagery I took from this song for the first time. This CD was the only CD in my book bag during middle school. Now, after all those years, I still love this song. I used to think of climbing mountains because that's the image I got when I heard this song over twelve years ago. This is an inspiring song.

[TheCasu305]

@TheCasu305 Now I'm an artist. :-)

[80spopQueen]

do you hear the drizzly rain, and the cool air brusihing againts your face? i do maybe this song only takes me there....

[mrpolaroid123]

@80spopQueen I feel a burning heat,

[80spopQueen]

@mrpolaroid123 whaT?

[mrpolaroid123]

@80spopQueen You feel the rain, I feel the desert

[80spopQueen]

@mrpolaroid123 oh gosh! =I well at least we both feel something.

[imanii09]

just saw her live yesterday man shes soooo beautiful ... love her <3

[gianca60]

This tune evokes a windy summer beach at dusk....

[lovinlifetoday33]

@gianca60

i agree, this song creates a scene all by itself. takes me away

[OmegaRed333]

@cdeeway that instrument is a special japanese flute called Shakuhachi,that also is a part of many songs..especially throughout the 80's..search for example songs from Enigma like Sadness or Mea Culpa..they strongly contain that instrument,which by the way is one of my favorites :P

[Flandesexpress]

I wish I could find somebody to love this way and that she also loves me in the same way. Does this kind of love still exist? I only see wickedness when I walk down the streets. I want to die most of the times because it's all so perverted. Somebody believes the same?

[REALSOUL4]

@Flandesexpress YES! it's all about "SEX" and being self "GRATIFIED"! There is "NO REAL LOVE" today This "GENERATION" is "NARCISSISTIC" only care about themselves,"NO EMPATHY" for "MAN KIND"! This is why we don't hear the "GOOD" Music anymore that "TALKS" about "LOVING"! It's a "SHAME"! I "AGREE" with you 100% ! "SADE,IS FOR REAL ABOUT THIS "LOVE" SHE'S TALKING ABOUT"! If you really "LOVE" someone regardless of what has "HAPPENED" your going to say,to hell with "PRIDE"! I "LOVE" HIM OR HER!

[SomethingReal1119]

@Flandesexpress I don't know if it exists anymore; everyone is too selfish, too superficial, too materialistic, etc. to be able to feel on that deep of a level. The world is surely changing, and not in a good way, imho.

[chula1065]

@Flandesexpress I do believe that there is someone out there for you and loves the way you love. True faithful and strong love is out there. Lu

[timlawray1]

@Flandesexpress  Like sade says, Keep Looking".. is all I can say.

[bl355sing5]

@Flandesexpress It's sad that you see the world this way filled with wickedness & perversion.

It is sadder that you didn't really listen to the words of the song.

The song is not about what you are trying to project upon it, the song is about the transient nature of love, and that there is no permanence in life.

If the beauty of the music & singing created a delusional world for you that is fine, but it isn't what it means.

[HammerCharlesMartel]

@Flandesexpress Yes, i understand perfectly what you mean. Today we live in a world of decadence full of egocentric people. That's why so much relationships end. There's not enough empathy between people anymore.

[WhatsAfterThisPlace]

@Flandesexpress I am 21, and its funny what women and men are in to now in days, I am the kind of guy that believes in bringing a women flowers and being nervous around her and being goofy, you know the "nice guy" but that is considered unattractive in men, women prefer guys that go up to them and smooth talk and show dominance, and men see women as simple sex objects, what ever happened to original love and being sincere? Technology happened, plain rudeness occurred.

[Flandesexpress]

@WhatsAfterThisPlace Amen.

[kryptoniteCTD]

@WhatsAfterThisPlace Man we are like the last of the Mohicans i feel the same way. Im a female and i concur most females do like that kind of bs smh. How ever i appreciate your comment.

[WhatsAfterThisPlace]

@kryptoniteCTD Glad there are still people that appreciate the little things.

[thejazzman210]

@Flandesexpress That kind of love can't be found. It will find you, when the time is right. Just don't give up on love, because it's there, even if we can't always see it my brother. Don't give up.

[ufis567]

@Flandesexpress Its out there, but that doesnt mean youll ever find it.

[ajah007]

@Flandesexpress I believe the same. It's nice to know that there actually are some men in this world that think like me :)

[Dreyfus03]

@Flandesexpress the song is soulful and dont worry about love, it will come if you keep your eyes open but i never feel like dying. as long as you live, anything is possible.

[skyiscrying53]

@Flandesexpress you want to die...you need a little bit more then just a girlfriend..A puppy gives just as much love actually...take it easy and smile

[massarofan]

this song shouldnt even have a dislike option, sade is legendary

[TheGuitar1968]

yep shes got a beautiful voice love clean heart to

[1freshjandal]

Love this song! Def in the top 3 of Sade's songs for me!

[cdeeway]

@ 0:41, is that a flute/piccolo or something? I know it's a minute part of the song, but i love the sound it makes.

[valerie16000]

This is my favorite song from Sade, so different than her other stuff.

[izreal4lyfe]

This song is one of my fav. Songs from Sade:

[kashman0219]

80s music, can't beat it!!!

[tgonzalez22081]

songs as these puts me in a very good mood and on the real noones fuckin with sade thats love makin boot knockin music and if your not feelin it then you just aint nevergonna understand awoman your boy X signin off

[diasiarobinson]

[GrimLeRogue]

this song is so sweet

[keshwil09]

this so song is truly relaxing . . . i luv this song . . . 

[THAPHUCKOUTTAHERE]

Yea, this song saved my marriage.

[TruthFan]

@THAPHUCKOUTTAHERE Yeah this song reminds me exactly of my relationship or lack there of with this guy in my life. Damn Pride is a bitch!

[MyCarlos1963]

What can you say about this song or the woman singing it that would do justice to either. This is real song writing at its best and singing beyound the fake one hit studio singers of the now.

[maurino74]

goosebumps. period.

[ashleymcdl]

if u dont listen to what she is saying u will never understand what she is talking about.

[hindmjahed1]

She is the only diva i enjoy listening to all her songs , while other singers have maybe a song or two that make them famous,

[afriqbeau]

@hindmjahed1 umm Sade is far from a Diva...not saying that there is anything wrong with being a DIVA but Sade is definitely not that....Aretha Franklin and Patti Labelle are Divas...

[hindmjahed1]

@afriqbeau i do agree with your choices , i mean Aretha Franklin is a statue , but music is about feelings first , and trust me i know some who either don't like Aretha Franklin, or worst hate Sade .So i guess my ear enjoys Sade more than other , and that's the way i see her .But i can't discuss the fact that Aretha Franklin is a diva .and i won't .

[DondiBiz]

baddest song damn near ever made.

[destiny66]

@DondiBiz

I co-sign on that.

[sk8sleepy]

timeless classic, good music for the soul

[REALSOUL4]

When you let pride get in the way, you are living a lie. Pride does harm to you,your not being real! This is a beautiful song about putting pride aside and facing the truth,sing it SADE! Even though it hurts to face the truth,you will heal,time heals all wounds! LOVE THIS SONG! When you truely love someone, love is stronger than pride, because you will say the hell with the pride I love this person.

[JayBrownAlpha]

I will always love you. We meet that first night. Went to your house drank kissed made love . The next morning I walked home feeling like the happiset man on earth. I gave you my heart. We laughed and fought. Now I don't see you any more. You came up to me with two beers in your system and said,"Do you know your sexy."I wasn't looking for a woman at that time. I miss you Denise please come back. I can't hate you I never did and never will. I will love you forever. I thought you would too.

[afriqbeau]

@JayBrownAlpha aww that so sweet...i know what you going through.....have faith....go after your prize don't let it go to someone else..

[Jimbo8137]

the ultimate etherial song...so beautiful!

[feenin4jodeci]

this should have 76 million views because i know EVERY human being can relate. no matter what age, sex, location, despite the situation EVERYONE has felt this before.

[synthiagreen1]

For when your soul is crying...

[strongcity82]

love



[DondiBiz]

one of the greatest songs of all time. 

[beowulven]

I wonder what reverb was used on the vocals? Tight.

[vHulaBula]

i fly away, to a beautiful place. this song is amazing!

[wannaknowbad]

I can see why Prince loves this song. He knows good music!!!

[celestialpathway]

@wannaknowbad Prince loves this song? Since you said that, I have always thought Prince and Sade would be good for each other!

[sergeihohlove]

sade always good

[kweencessX]

Exactly how I feel right now. But people make mistakes, no?

[terramiu]

this song helped me tremendously when I was in my own dark place about making a relationship decision. I listened to it every day on repeat, and it slowly helped me resolve my inner demons and see a clear answer: love is stronger than pride.

[hindrluvr]

To say she has a beautiful voice would be the most severe understatement.

[GauisMaximus]

wow. 

[MimiBlossoms]

I love this song....omg truly a classic...Sade

[oxxxhinatahyuugaxxxo]

This song makes you want to fukk up the guy that broke her heart.

[Nishy02]

@oxxxhinatahyuugaxxxo lol made me laugh! It sucks for us females to fall deep in love then get our hearts broken. The guy that comes after that wants to love her and prove his love for her, has to deal w/ her broken heart... I apologize for all the girls who have been here who have put the guy in love w/ us through this. But i am here right now and have given my "love" my heart and got it broken by him when he continuously promised he would never. Cant let myself be proven otherwise by another

[Nubia99]

@oxxxhinatahyuugaxxxo i'm there with you jus call me if you need help!

[tomates87]

@oxxxhinatahyuugaxxxo Yes, but as result , we have this beautiful song! People feel harder being unhappy than happy. When you are happy you are less creative!

[83bubble]

SHE IS SO DIVINE!

[Musicallover4life]

This song is so addicting, all i'm doing is listening to it over and over

[HeavilyPatterned]

didnt she once do a version singing with another dude for a concert or something?....what was his name and any1 know where i can get that version?

[strawberrybanana28]

@HeavilyPatterned she only did that live

[HeavilyPatterned]

@strawberrybanana28 and who was that with...any1 know?

[TriniKeeves27]

@HeavilyPatterned  She actually did a duet with Alicia Keys..

[coleymochada1]

@HeavilyPatterned check for Rahsaan Patterson's version of this song... She's not on it, but he did a pretty rendition... hope that helps!

[BLJackson1983]

She's beautiful. Love this album cover. One of the classics for sure. It's a shame too cause I know this album by heart. I just keep Google-ing the next track as if I were listening to a cd.

[bbn3mo]

tshe just has a way of speaking your soul.... <3

[peezycouture]

if you've ever found yourself unable to stop loving someone even after their actions have given you good reason to stop, you can relate to this song. This song is for everyone who has at least once in their life thought with their heart instead of their mind. Love really is stronger than pride sometimes.

[CXero2]

@peezycouture LOL This is word for word on about.com Best r&b Love songs

[MrVincenzo5921]

In this song there are some verses that are too close to me now ...

[TheHealthtalk]

I dedicate this song to Wayne....forever in my heart.

[jaylahjade]

[mslady827]

I'm dedicating this song to Mr. Ja'ami Mock..

[Shaolin913]

I'm glad i got to comment on this song first. To say I love this song is a MAJOR understatement. This song is just so damn smooth and soothing.I Remember spending one whole summer (2003 to be exact ) listening to this song CONSTANTLY. Good tunes.

[69RedRooster]

@Shaolin913 I agree 100%so damn smooth!!! I once played this on my way to pick up my ex -wife for our first date.i played this tune back to back all the way from new jersey to brooklyn-hell i lived on the air force base in n/j we were talking on the phone i was playing this tune in the background... she thought i had a woman with me...

[GauisMaximus]

@69RedRooster  lol.
