this song is simply incredible.....makes you think of walking on a beach with the sun setting behind you, deep in thought about how to make yourself a better person...Bless you Stevie for giving the world such beautiful music
this is the song you put on when you turn out the lights and lay your head on the pillow, even when you drift off, you'll still hear it, as it seeps into your subconsious, where it will remain, forever........
I was expressive during the height of my career of my consciousness. We can't thank Stevie Wonder enough for helping to put into words through music the message universally. ...its still POWERFUL LOVE and PEACE
Still fucking amazing this album is almost 40 yrs. old and does not get old. And absolutly as mature as the lyrics are he was only 23 when he crafted this masterpiece of his Innervisions.
appreciate greatness while its here....stevie, prince, patty, aretha......these are the greatest entertainer/singers/artist we ever known and/or saw in most of our life times..i often feel we only show true love and respect until they are no longer here with us..
super super gift from my father when i was about 13 years old, i couldn't stop reading the words, beside there was a sunshine in my life. MR. Stevie Wonder you are Very, Very Human with such GREAT ETHICS.
As beautiful as this is,... in the sincerest flattery of it... look up Gloria Lynne's cover of this song, with no less than John Klemmer on sax/echoplex. Back to back these two will make you cry.
@Rucks90 That's where the sample came from! I'm listening to this song trying to figure out who sampled it and you're right. Ginuwine's I'll do anything. Thanks!!
@hapzap13 prince......and even though its prince......i sill feel shakey saying him and stevie toghether it all sounds crazy and is confusing to think about
@bennettdrew I can not stand people like you. You hear one good song and your first reaction is demonize something to put it on a pedistal. How about you worry about your own life and let people live the way they desire?
I read an article wherein Michael Jackson described Stevie Wonder as a Musical Prophet. I thought that was profound. And I have to agree with his assessment.
Stevie has obviously been around for a long time before my birth (im 19) but I think he is great! As a chrisitian I enjoy listening to some secular music and stevie doesnt weigh on my mind as an artist that wil tamper with my spirituallity. He expresses himself so wonderfully: he is romantic ,and deep, and real and all this from a man who is blind! HIS OTHER SENSES SURE KICKED IN CUZ IT IS AS IF HE CAN REALLY "SEE" THE WORLD! I love he music.
I was recently asked by a friend to name, "One thing Stevie Wonder was good for other than 'Superstition'..." He'd never heard of this album. I rest my case...
I keep coming back to this song. This creative, beautiful, spiritual and honest song. I think whats amazing is despite its beautifully crafted musical composition, it can mean different things to different people. Its sad yet hopeful. Confused but somehow encourageing to keep a focus on 'the light' , whatever it may be to the individual. I feel like im a prisoner of my own mind sometimes....Its nice to find that sometimes you only need to dream.......
Check out The Stevie Wonder story I posted. Basically he says that he got into writing his own stuff because his writers couldn't crank out lyrics fast enough for all his compositions. He got tired of having to wait for them to write so he just started writing them himself. Pretty ridiculous if you think about it..."eh, I don't feel like waiting, so I'm just gonna write them myself, and be one of the greatest lyricists around" lol I think he goes into the process a little in the story.
@johnniewalker23 Because he can't see its like his introspective creativity is honed to another level.....thats why its hard for others to play his music...its so complex.
@johnniewalker23 Because he can't see its like his introspective creativity is honed to another level.....thats why its hard for others to play his music...its so complex. this cat had 3 straight album of the year Grammies...If "Songs" dropped in 75 instead of 76 it woulda been 4.
@johnniewalker23 That's the same reason I started doing it myself as well. I'm a bass player who got tired of people fighting over compositions or sitting on their asses waiting for inspiration to come. Not comparing myself to Stevie though, that would be stupid. I don't think an artist like Stevie comes along every century. Maybe every other one if humans are lucky. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that it's a valid enough reason to start writing.
I know that this record came out in 1973 but the message is so positive that can be applied to today standard's. I'm 35 & I recongize good music when I here it !!! Thank You Johnnie Walker 4 uploading this beautiful music!!!
@NativeToungue77 Folks may Laugh..But I believe when Music touches us it has to do with the spiritual side of life...Anyway regardless that is how I shall be listening..till my end.
What's funny is how when you say "write, sing, compose, play all instruments" it sounds kind of nonchalant. I'm sure you don't mean it that way but really it's more along the lines of "who else can write music that gets them in the song writers hall of fame, sing with one of the greatest voices of our time, compose complex music, and play instruments at an incredibly high level". All while winning more Grammy awards than any solo artist in history.
His message is universal and meaningful and honest and true. That's what keeps me listening for more than thirty years. If I have a bad day at work, I listen to Stevie.
@johnniewalker23 Another thing should be noted. Stevie poured out hit after hit after hit song.
Frank Zappa was an incredible composer of rock jazz and classical music, along with other styles. He was incredibly innovative. He was a great lead guitarist and a film director. He also produced many of his records. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Apples and Oranges.
I much prefer Stevie Wonder, just sayin' FZ was a genious.
@johnniewalker23 Agreed. Prince is great-a genius in his own right but Stevie edges Prince in that Stevie is more than artist. I can't think of anybody more beloved than Stevie--the other one who rivals Stevie in that department died in June 25, 2009. Stevie wrote soundtracks to our lives with such vivid clarity; it's still unbelievable that he's blind. I'm always humbled by "Visions" because it's so ironic when he says I'm not one to make believe I know the leaves are green...'"
@trumusicgen well nobody on stevie's level, but we do have brian mcknight, lauryn hill, alicia keys, jamie cullum, and pretty soon we'll have karina pasian and gabi wilson. ALL influenced by stevie, will never be on his level, but there is hope for the music...
My answer is no one. I've felt for years that Stevie Wonder was arguably the most underrated artist in history. At least as far as music is concerned. And I believed that before I discovered that he did almost this entire album single-handedly. It takes a true genius to accomplish all that he's accomplished during his career as well as a great combination of determination, a strong work ethic, and showmanship. He's really one of a kind.
@trumusicgen If you have never heard of him before, type in the name "Van Hunt" in the search engine here on YouTube. He writes all his music, composes, and plays all (or most) of the instruments, and sings it. One of his inspirations is Prince.
@trumusicgen - Paul McCartney can and has - also Phil Collins - we all have special gifts, though Stevie is a gift to us all and the very definition of a truly rare gem
His talent is palpable. Have you listened to Saturn? (the bonus track on his Songs in the Key of Life c.d.) It is so timeless, that even after more than thirty years, it still speaks to the failings of our Government. He is amazing.
Knightofbay don't apologise for being a Stevie worshipper! Such is the prolific genius of the man I had almost forgotten this incredible track amongst the range of brilliant tracks on this album. If it speaks to you in a personal, meaningful way then just thank god for that.
Look not to sound like a stevie worshiper, but as a musician myself i feel like this song goes into depth in the mind of many artists. I don't want to say it definds me but wut it does do is explain what goes through my mind everyday. And it's scary because i try not to open myself to people. it might be the fact that i am still 17 and not a fully matured. But when i hear this song i feel like i told him everything about myself and told in a way that is not only musically but also profound. thx.
shut up already...go to a political video for a debate...people here want peace & SW's good music...there are good wolves and bad wolves....which one will win? the one you feed honey... love, bt
Go melt back into the night, babe, Everything inside is made of stone. Theres nothing in here moving An anyway Im not alone. You say youre looking for someone Wholl pick you up each time you fall, To gather flowers constantly An to come each time you call, A lover for your life an nothing more, But it aint me, babe, No, no, no, it aint me, babe, It aint me youre lookin for, babe.
Hey awamoriwhiskey why do you say hateful things? Obvious you are hurting inside dude. Chill out. Anyway what's up with the Obama comment, you are not even American. You don't hear us talking a about the Canadian president whoever that is.
Go lightly from the ledge, babe, Go lightly on the ground. Im not the one you want, babe, I will only let you down. You say youre lookin for someone Who will promise never to part, Someone to close his eyes for you, Someone to close his heart, Someone who will die for you an more, But it aint me, babe, No, no, no, it aint me, babe, It aint me youre lookin for, babe.
Heres The Anti-Obama Song [words The Master would never think of uttering]: Bob Dylan: It Aint Me, Babe Go way from my window, Leave at your own chosen speed. Im not the one you want, babe, Im not the one you need. You say youre lookin for someone Never weak but always strong, To protect you an defend you Whether you are right or wrong, Someone to open each and every door, But it aint me, babe, No, no, no, it aint me, babe, It aint me youre lookin for, babe.
Heres the Anti-Obama Song [meaning words The Master would never think of uttering]: Bob Dylan: It Aint Me, Babe Go way from my window, Leave at your own chosen speed.

well you don't have to worry about OUR president being at your window or doing anything affecting you. you stay in your country, and if you happen to come across any blacks, let them know how much you hate them. unless of course you're a coward, and just talk tough on the internet. and i meant why are you on stevie wonder's page if you don't like blacks so much
actually, the key components to most of the aforementioned things were created by blacks and there was democracy in ethipoia before the rest of the world could read or write. blacks also invented the toilet! lol
what does youtube have to do with anything? i could care less who created it. so who did you vote for? nobody!!!! you're not american, you're not even white. you have no say so. I understand, a black person must have done something to you, and hurt your feelings, too bad >: p
oh really? worst than george bush? i doubt that. a man who gave up a cushy corporate job offer to work improving inner city chicago really sounds as if he is motivated by the wrong things. like i said before,why are you concerned about what happens in this country? you obvious don't know much, foreigner. keep your opinions to yourself. and if most blacks are racist, why are you on a black man's page listening to his music???
words can not express..what this song meant to me..while I was growing up..

@trumusicgen If you have never heard of him before, type in the name "Van Hunt" in the search engine here on YouTube. He writes all his music, composes, and plays all (or most) of the instruments, and sings it. One of his inspirations is Prince.

@DreSoul I love Van Hunt!!! He wrote or co-wrote Dione Farris's hit single Hopeless from the Love Jones soundtrack too.

@trumusicgen - Paul McCartney can and has - also Phil Collins - we all have special gifts, though Stevie is a gift to us all and the very definition of a truly rare gem

His talent is palpable. Have you listened to Saturn? (the bonus track on his Songs in the Key of Life c.d.) It is so timeless, that even after more than thirty years, it still speaks to the failings of our Government. He is amazing.

One of the best voices in music and one of the best songwriters of the twentieth century. I listened to his music growing up.

Knightofbay don't apologise for being a Stevie worshipper! Such is the prolific genius of the man I had almost forgotten this incredible track amongst the range of brilliant tracks on this album. If it speaks to you in a personal, meaningful way then just thank god for that.

Look not to sound like a stevie worshiper, but as a musician myself i feel like this song goes into depth in the mind of many artists. I don't want to say it definds me but wut it does do is explain what goes through my mind everyday. And it's scary because i try not to open myself to people. it might be the fact that i am still 17 and not a fully matured. But when i hear this song i feel like i told him everything about myself and told in a way that is not only musically but also profound. thx.

well you don't have to worry about OUR president being at your window or doing anything affecting you. you stay in your country, and if you happen to come across any blacks, let them know how much you hate them. unless of course you're a coward, and just talk tough on the internet. and i meant why are you on stevie wonder's page if you don't like blacks so much

Re: "why are you on a black man's page"
YouTube was not created by Black people.
Neither was the internet,
or computers, or records, or tapes, or CDs, or TV, or DVDs, or democracy ...
awamoriwhiskey 3 years ago
actually, the key components to most of the aforementioned things were created by blacks and there was democracy in ethipoia before the rest of the world could read or write. blacks also invented the toilet! lol

3 reasons u r a moron:
1. Dunham-Davis-Soetero-Obama wasn't running against Bush
2. There are millions of Americans outside the US
3. YouTube was created by Black people. Neither was the internet, or computers, or records, or tapes, or CDs ...

what does youtube have to do with anything? i could care less who created it. so who did you vote for? nobody!!!! you're not american, you're not even white. you have no say so. I understand, a black person must have done something to you, and hurt your feelings, too bad >: p

i realize i's hard for you to argue that most blacks aren't racist when black vote = 97% chance of an obama vote
u have my sympathy
obama will be an american tragedy
the first and last black president
he will be such a disaster that unfortunately many people will think black politicians must be disasterous

oh really? worst than george bush? i doubt that. a man who gave up a cushy corporate job offer to work improving inner city chicago really sounds as if he is motivated by the wrong things. like i said before,why are you concerned about what happens in this country? you obvious don't know much, foreigner. keep your opinions to yourself. and if most blacks are racist, why are you on a black man's page listening to his music???
