It's artists & music like this we "need" to have in the music industry making & writing music that touches/reaches the mind, body,& soul!! God Bless Mr. Shannon Sanders GOD BLESS
I love this song. This is how it should have been sung. Heather Headley was okay, but this is infinitely better. IMAGINE if Mary J Blige would have sung this instead of HH????!!!!
Thats a baddddddd cut! And so , so , so true. Reminds me of my college sweetheart. We had our future all mapped out , but she allowed herself to be convinced that the grass was greener on the other side , and is still paying for it to this very day. I've done well for myself and by now , she would have been a housewife instead of a worker bee. Oh well baby girl, some mistakes you cant take back.
This dude is definitely putting his all into this song!! He's singing it with so much passion, pain, feeling!!! Never heard of this gentleman until a couple of days ago. He truly deserves more exposure.
This dude has been around for a long time and gets very little exposure. His album, "Out of Nowhere" is one of the best complete albums of the neo era. Shannon Sanders is simply "Great".
Of course, someone who never heard the original version is going to like Heather Headley's version better. Young people always do this. My only beef with Heather is changing the words at the end. She changed the whole meaning of the song with that politically correct garbage.
His version gives me goosebumps and shakes my soul!! Everyone has one of those "In my mind" people in their lives. Shannons' version makes me wanna pick up the phone and call him.
I first heard this song on Sirus XM radio I was on my way to work at 4am and this song made me cry my soul out because it seemed as if this man was singing directly to me and it touched my soul, not to mention I was in a very bad relationship and I did not know how to leave but after this song it was very clear and easy how to leave!!! Ladies if u are in a situation like mine its always a way out!!! Trust me.....
Shannon Sanders is one of the most talented songwriters (acknowledged) and singers in the entertainment world. Sad thing is, his bad business decisions when he made this album stunted his true potential. This album "Outta Nowhere" is still a classic and would give any album out now a run for its money. This brother covered every topic in society and did it all from the heart as he was just a brother given the chance to spit his work. Much respect to Southern Way Records as a unit!!!!!!!
Heard this song 9 years ago with him. He kills it, hands down....He actually produced Heather's version, played keys on it and sang background vocals... original is always best. all from the heart...
I remember going to and India.Arie performance at the House of Blues in New Orleans with a friend back in 2003 (I believe). Shannon opened for India and we received a CD called "The Bootleg" with various songs from India's band, Shannon, and even India herself. This song was on that album. VERY Powerful!!!!
@phybroptyx1999 Correction: Shannon was there performing with India, but he did not open... I remember now... It was Anthony David. He performed "Cold Turkey" amongst others.
No disrespect to Heather Headley. Her version of this song was great. BUT... Shannon vocally, soulfully, literally... totally owns this sing! She was only borrowing it. This has been my jam since I first heard it years ago on 'Outta Nowhere'. And it doesn't matter who covers it after Shannon, in my mind, this will always be HIS song. Thanks for posting this!
wow! i would love to hear him sing this Live!!! heather did a great job too, but it's somethin about a man singing about a love lost. what is he doing now? Truly a SOUL SINGER!
Wow i must admit i never heard of Shannon Sanders over here in germany b4- but GOD DAMMMMN he was killin it!!! He and Heather should sing that joint together! I also give him *****stars
@Meanshots22 Although I love the way Heather sings this song, and I originally heard her sing it before I heard Shannon's version, but it is just something about the sultry singing voice of a man.
man look im from da ville an i remember back in like 99 98 when shannon was popn on 92q lol wit his 1st single an i got dat on tape but man dude is talented nashville really needs to support thre talent artist like keanthony aka cruna lil rossi G.H.O. d one an the whole diys fam all star an many others coz they got talent to make it
hi this is my cousin he wrote the song along time ago! He sold the song to her and now he is producing India Arie! I love this song because it really is part of his life just like the song on his album about our grandad.
Sorry but Heathers is way better. Hers is very heartfelt, his is too but the cursing & this just had a touch of country to it. Great songs from both artist
r u mad (just my opinion) Shannon dropped this around 1999 or thereabouts at around the same time as Maxwell was really doing his Neo - thing and people were searching for more soul. As they say Taste is in the Eye of the Beholder. My vote is for the original.... Big-up Shannon...
It makes perferct sense, Only a MAN WOULD THINK NO MATTER WHO THE OTHER PERSON IS WITH THAT SHE WILL ALWAYS BE HIS,LOL... Awsome song man!!! There is so much soul in your voice
.as for the second parts of your comment I respect your thinking and somewhat agree, but as you stated, you believing that slang equates to an appearance of ignorance Yes, I do and it doesnt matter if you are white, black, blue of green. Its ignorant and it draws negative and un-wanted attention to ones self. Now, with that being said God Bless and this conversation is O V E R!
slang is not ignorant, it is a form of communication. someone using slang can be a completely rational thinker who is capable of expressing a coherent thought. them appearing ignorant to you shows your inability to see the functionality in language.
You tried to put word in my mouth and I didnt let you, so you come back with a second attempt. WOW! Ill say it again I never said he was black, white, blue or green. I simply stated the following: Like my grand mother said, do not show your color You automatically assumed I though he was black and related that to bad English so, shame on YOU!
you relayed to Youcantseedre what your grandmother said to you, Do not show your color. you said that because of the language he used. you essentially told him not to show his color. white parents and grandparents do not warn their children not to show their color. nobody associates slang with being white. i admitted that you did say he was black outright, but you sure did insinuate that he was. if you thought he wasn't black, your grandmother comment would not have made sense.
lastly, the purpose of language is to communicate. the purpose is not to prove that one can write or speak properly. someone is better served being comfortable proper english as well as slang. you believing that slang equates to an appearance of ignorance is a testament to the narrow mindedness of those who teach english(whether you teach it or not ;since you have a problem with insinuation).
this version has so much more emotion. when i listen to this i feel as though i'm listening to a friend vent their emotions! i almost teared up...my punk sister was feeling this song so tough SHE DID cry...lil punk
I love this version. This is the original they say. Heather's version I thought was brilliant, but this is a good version as well. Nice to hear it sung from a male perspective. Thanks for the post.
Calm down.. and please work on representing yourself better when typing on the internet. Words like dat,dey,wit & aint only make you sound foolish and uneducated. Like my grandmother said, "Do not show your color" and I'll add my 2 cents by saying, "especially on the internet.
why is it necessary for him to do that, and how do u know he's black? the internet is not an academic forum or an english paper. him typing "dey" is not sufficient to indicate his level of intelligence or how he represents himself in academic circles. maybe he is relaxed while on youtube
I never said he was black, white, blue or green and you should also take my advice when it comes to grammar. If you display yourself as ignorant on the internet.....chances are you probably display the same action in public. God bless.
now on to the ignorance argument, i do not treat youtube as if it were one of my english papers. i feel sorry for the person that does. generally speaking, i dont like writing proper english on youtube because it takes too long. if i wanted to write "dey" as opposed to "they" or "u" as opposed to "you", it is usually to save time.
Sweetheart, you must be smoking crack if you actually think Heather can't sing. Heather got her start on Broadway, where strong vocals are must. Her version is more polished and sung from a mature woman's perspective. Shannon is a damn good artist and a wonderful writer. His version was song from a soulful mans perspective. Both artist can sing their behinds off. So there is no need to bash Heather just to praise shannon. They're both talented.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow dats what i hate about songwriters wit a voice, dey jus give dey music away like it aint shit bt dude obivously provin dat heathers weak ass cnt sing worth shit compare 2 him lol
Shannon is a very cool brother and incredible artist. I can't wait to his album drops this year. I shot a DVD feature of a day in his life. You can see the video on my page.
Thanks for posting this - first heard this version on XM and loved it immediately. He and Heather both do proper justice to the song with their respective versions. Love them both.
I started out not wanting to like Shannon's version of this song (yes, I know he sang this song first ;), but I like it. I think it's more emotional than Heathers; the lyrics are different which in a way make both songs unique. I can't say one is better than the other, I think it depends on the listeners mood when they hear it, too bad theres no video for this one. Thanks for sharing/posting.
Shannon Sanders A True R & B Artist from the heart, If you listen closely " He's crying to this woman HE's sing about" The actual pain in voice" Is His soul singing out this song.... Music with a passion, has the tendency....To touch us, the listeners...So we can feel the Realness of his soul, Pure { Unfiltered} R & B Does the Body Good!
1snkyfrk, I don't claim to know the answers to everything, but the vibe i get from your question is, that this guy friend of yours has deep feelings for you, because he's trying to tell you no matter what you do in your life, inside of his mind you will always be his #1, Understand this when people {guys or girls} have something to relay to the other person but are either afraid to say it or just don't know how, the use songs like these to get the message, because music like this is ginuine.
thank u so much, da one thing dat's botherin is "he's married and so am i" and no im not a homewrecker, so i know dat it's over between us, we were involved years ago. i just kinda needed a male point of veiw. i don't know if dis changes wat u think he is sayin or not....
1snkyfrk, When you mentioned about a certain gentleman was giving you the vibe that he may still had feelings for you from the past.Then You mentioned He was Married, Again I don't claim to have all the answers.However Marriage is a union created by God...And with you being married yourself " You know exactly what i mean. So with that said, He may still have or had thoughts of you both from the past.But You both have to let the past be the past.any feelings that was there, let it go no further
I love Heather's version, but this here, the original....you can hear the pain in his voice. This is true r & b music. This should have gotten pushed just like Heather's version...
I want to thank Heart & Soul - Sirius radio for turning me on to this song
Heather Sings This Well With that New School R & B Feel, However if you LIke The Old School R & B Feel, this is the joint!...Enjoy it...let it take you back to the True times of Real R&B!
I like to song, it take you back to the old days, It make you want to rember when you were young and Happy, It also sound a little like Wild flowers by: New Birth
Hey Hey Hey...that is where I got turned on to this cat...I was cleaning house and stopped in my tracks I was like I have to know who this brother is...gripping as hell...big ups to Sirius 6051 on Dish Network...Love those guys!
Another example of a brother with a nice voice who did'nt get his props like SAM SALTER and MARC NELSON but no singing chris brown is all in the damn spotlight.
I love Heather's too, but this guy has a lot of feeling in his voice. He really put soul into it. I love this song it really makes nostalgic for an old friend.
I definitely like his version better. Her's has more power in the vocals, I guess, but this one MEANS more to me, I guess. =)Thx for putting this song up.
I heard this on XM radio a couple times and had to look you up. Very nice. Love the strings and the background singers. Love the live band sound too! Does he have a cd out I need to read the info about this song?
Beautiful! I wish tihs was as promoted as Heather Headley's version. I like this, def great for guys. I love it. And this kat's voice has a lot of character. I love it, espescially the twist where you are talking and everything, like the Oldheads from back in the day would do, Harold Melvin and the Blue notes kind of flavor. This is truly off the hook. :)
I Took A Greyhound From Tenn. To GA About 2 Or 3 Years Ago & I Sat Next To This Cat.We Got To Talkin' Bout Music & We Exchanged A Few Discs Throughout The Trip & He Let Me Listen To This Guy's CD/Mixtape "Hustler 4 Life" & It Was Great.This Was The Stand Out Track For Me.He Let Me Keep The CD & I Kept Replaying This Track Everyday
The minute I heard this version I had to know who sang it amazing they way things were added to it and made it even deeper than the original fantastic!!! you go boy with your bad self
this is the first time that i've heard this version...well i never knew it existed! i must say that i absolutely prefer this version than Heather Headley's version...don't get me wrong its great too. i came about this version when my ex emailed this video to me and in my mind as his...i will always be his lady....
Simply Beautiful.....What a soulful voice, a beautiful voice.......LUV IT, LUV IT......

1snkyfrk, I don't claim to know the answers to everything, but the vibe i get from your question is, that this guy friend of yours has deep feelings for you, because he's trying to tell you no matter what you do in your life, inside of his mind you will always be his #1, Understand this when people {guys or girls} have something to relay to the other person but are either afraid to say it or just don't know how, the use songs like these to get the message, because music like this is ginuine.

thank u so much, da one thing dat's botherin is "he's married and so am i" and no im not a homewrecker, so i know dat it's over between us, we were involved years ago. i just kinda needed a male point of veiw. i don't know if dis changes wat u think he is sayin or not....

1snkyfrk, When you mentioned about a certain gentleman was giving you the vibe that he may still had feelings for you from the past.Then You mentioned He was Married, Again I don't claim to have all the answers.However Marriage is a union created by God...And with you being married yourself " You know exactly what i mean. So with that said, He may still have or had thoughts of you both from the past.But You both have to let the past be the past.any feelings that was there, let it go no further

Anthoni8 turned me onto this song. It's great. I like it way better than Ms. Headley's (even though hers is pretty good too).

I love Heather's version, but this here, the original....you can hear the pain in his voice. This is true r & b music. This should have gotten pushed just like Heather's version...
I want to thank Heart & Soul - Sirius radio for turning me on to this song

He has a new album in the works. It isn't out yet. He has been producing so much and on a number of projects but his album should come this year.

Beautiful! I wish tihs was as promoted as Heather Headley's version. I like this, def great for guys. I love it. And this kat's voice has a lot of character. I love it, espescially the twist where you are talking and everything, like the Oldheads from back in the day would do, Harold Melvin and the Blue notes kind of flavor. This is truly off the hook. :)
