  • This is one of the best songs of all time......Lauryn where r u now?

  • Christina Aguilera brought me here :D

  • .smh , this damn song ! absolutely LOVE it !!

  • God, does anyone find the final line at about 3:25 and the ending strings and piano particularly moving? What she says "define my own destiny" and the following instruments sound like something from an old film. This song is classic sounding.

  • amazing song

  • Story of my life...can't wait until I truly find myself "/

  • @Ucitybliss Even asking the question, makes you further along than most. Define your destiny. Story of my life.

  • I remember owning this record. This was a good record for the period it was released in. It was quite diverse for it's supposed genre which was R n' B. I liked how the record was like a journey through a classroom lesson about love with songs between the classroom takes. It was a nice idea. The one thing I hated was the bad bonus tracks on the UK release. Otherwise, it had a nice flow.

  • Sweet baby Jesus this song is so emotional...it gets to me every time!

    Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­p in my heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaart!

  • nuff said.

  • I love this song Lauryn Hill is amazing everything about this song is amazing; the lyrics, the instrumental music, the vocal arrangments everything its so deep and poetic with so much passion as well I am only 16 and a guy(straight) but i look for things like this in music i kno its weird but O well i cant stop playing this song its so amazing Lauryn Hill needs to come back

  • @Romeobeyk not weird at all homie, good music is good music. RASpect.

  • Please come back

  • Please come back

  • I love her....! And im only 15. I feel that her songs will never get old. : )

  • @VoiletHearts because its truth, thank u sister

  • @VoiletHearts What does you being 15 have to do with anything? I'm sorry, but it doesn't make sense. I was 13 when this record came out and I'd listen to it everyday. So what's your point? You might as well tell us if you're right or left handed as well. It seems equally arbitrary.

  • @callmeIan what this person is getting at is the fact that there is still hope for today's youth. that not all of the kids have turned to listening to crappy modern pop music and that there are kids who still listen to artists with actual talent and not just autotuned crap. for example, i'm only 16 and i listen to jazz, funk, classic rock, etc. i actually make an effort to avoid all of the new shit that is put out in the music industry.

  • @callmeIan well i personally think he was pointing out the fact most people his age arent listening to these classic talented artists there generally listening to manufactured crap hes just letting us know theres hope and not every young persons been sucked into crap music

  • @VoiletHearts forreal...never gets old

  • @VoiletHearts nobody cares how old you are

  • @VoiletHearts ... good for you fag

  • to define my own destiny...deeeeep...

  • I love this song to death it means but what it is about i don't know just a beautiful song from beginning to end!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i listen to this because im not deaf ,

  • @AlexGiovanniE i believe the 'control' we believe to exert over any decisions in our lives is an illusion. Yes, she made the 'choice' to define her destiny, take a certain path, etc... but going by "what is meant to be will be" we can assume that she was meant to take that path all along and all her life before that point was leading up to that.

  • love love this song, one of my all time favs as it expresses my emotions perfectly

  • I cry almost everytime I hear this! You can hear the truth in her voice, the sincerity, the passion, the true spirit of a true artist! bravo Lauryn!

  • @AlexGiovanniE , Perhaps by defining her own destiny, she means that it is up to her to define or view her reality and interpret its meanings for herself. One could look the recent flooding in the South as massive destruction and upset, or a new beginning for all who will rebuild and a chance for renewed strength in community and faith. It is possible to be aware of one's destiny and make conscience choices along the path to arriving, i.e. the word destination.

  • one of the best songs ever !

  • @AlexGiovanniE One of the key lines in 'Everything is Everything' is "CHANGE WILL COME EVENTUALLY". Perhaps by definining her destiny she is taking a proactive role in that change. It raises the question of how much of a role do we play in our own destiny by the choices or lack of choices we make?

  • I love this song...she put sooooo much knowledge into this album.

  • this is powerful beautiful loving caring incomparable touching enthusiastic

    Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

  • this was my theme life song back in hs i was so confused and seacrhing for myself.

  • @poeticsuperstar im glad you found yourself, because im still confused in this crazy crazy world....and this will always be my theme song...good taste:)

  • I look at my environment...and wonder where the fire went..

  • even if u thk bout dislikn dis den u shld also thk bout killn ya self

  • #Classic.....LOVE THIS!

  • There has been speculation that Lauryn Hill is working on a new album,i really hope this is true.

  • Amen to TheMarccan!

  • You hear the spirit of an angelic voice that evokes the sweet tenderness of Love and Reflection, a deep longing, moaning out its soulful prayer which Masterfully strokes a Universal chord in all who are privelaged to be Alive to Hear.

  • you can hear the stevie wonder influence in the track, her voice and the whole mood of this song.... she is a genius and trust me she is in tha bushes about to pounce on these fake industry girls that call themselves artists....... stop playin. lol. i miss u lauryn. love u girl. need one more joint from u girl!!!!!

  • I'm feeling this song today, its so me!!!!!!!!!

  • Damn I was 11 when my mom bought this album for me. This song makes the sense for me at 21 that it didn't make when I was 11. It makes me look at my life, my former surroundings like my newly gentrified old neighborhood and while it's some sad shit to see, this song reminds me to move on with my life.

  • @bboywonder69 Yes... that documentary bet had on last night did a whole section just on her man.... she like is doin us so wrong! Music in general just isnt at the level it should be when she aint around yo.

  • U JUST DONT KNOW HOW MUCH THIS SONG CHANGED MY LIFE IN DA PAST...AND IT STILL AFFECTS ME TODAY! LUV U GAL!

  • Had to go out and buy this album just on the strength of this song alone.

  • @Vir2osity i think i have to to cuz i cant find mine!!!

  • @Vir2osity And Im pretty sure you were far from dissapointed. This a;bum is one of the HOTTEST... truest albums to have ever been born. There is no comparison to The Mis-ed. #beginning to end

  • i love this song so much, and listened to this album every day my last 2 years of h.s. when it came out. even after 12 years i still listen to the songs, especially this one, for encouragement....come back L Boogie, we miss you!
