I heard this song just after my mum died and it reminded me of my brother, needed help to grow up, became independent then knew she needed him at the end of her life. It means a lot to me because it brings clarity to her death... Thanks x
Such a soulful voice and yet so unrecognised on the music scene. This guy is going far! This song is just sensational and makes you remember that no matter what life throws at you...your mother will always be there for you. Thank you for uploading :)
the truth about greats artists is they always find sthg to connect with listeners. i dt know if its relevent to him but it did my night tonight. peace
My son introduced me to Aloe knowing my love for R&B & Soul, I listened to this song for the first time walking to work with tears in my eyes - my god what a beautiful song and singer, no mother can listen to this and not get upset, absolutely brilliant!!! From a 56 year old Mother but young at heart.
Amazingly Touching & Deep! The Depiction of being aChild Helped across the street a teen not wanting parents bothering you Then he describes moving away Most moving is the end Stating " Momma near her end, Shes old and grey Sometimes i call her to ask if she would like to spend the day. Momma Use to be stong, But she aint now And she cant make her way Thats why im always around when she needs help & Heres What i say Momma Hold my hand I dont think you can cross this road by yourself
I want to sing like him. Seriosuly, I would love to sing the songs that people would wnat to fall in love to while listening to them. I want to hold my girl and sing things to her as beautifully as he could.
ridiculous !!!! how can you be this good bro ..... every time i listen to this song tears trickle down ..... god given talent and a musical genius ... keep up the good work
I woke up this morning and opened the album and didnt look at any song names i just clicked and this song come on. It hit close to home and i cried. aloe blacc is a one of a kind talent. sings from the soul. The first song that i heard from him was i need a dollar, and i wake up to it every day. I would like to thank aloe blacc for providing the world with such amazing music.
So much Talent, yet he has been doing this since mid 90's...Somehow he has not blown up...just goes to show a majority of people are narrow minded and a Deaf Ear for what music should be.
So natural, so much flavor, you are too good -- love your confidence. Listening to this song takes me places... Wish I could play it for my mom right now.
@bood420 you clearly don't understand the definition of the word judging because that's all you've done in your comments. but i guess you're writing with the assumption that every mother is perfect which is ridiculous. you don't know my mother. you don't know what she's like. Wtf are you referring to by "take the knife away from ur wrists"? what kind of stupid shit is that? there's a huge difference between being annoyed and being depressed. and once again, who are you to tell me i "need help"?
@bood420 firstly, my message was to aloe blacc. secondly, you don't know anything about me or my mother. you don't know what kind of relationship we have. who are you to judge me?
this song constantly reminds me that i should be a better son, that my mother deserves so much more than my ungrateful and selfish behaviour. thank you so much aloe blacc.
this song speaks to you at 14 - 18 I didnt think i need her and thought i was grown. im 20 got an apartment and its hard i just wanna go home some times but you gotta grow up want i my mama hand hell my fathers too lol
Why am I just starting to hear about this dude?! The first time I have ever heard anything from him was the "I Need A Dollar" joint. I fucks with that song, so I chose to look him up and WOW... dude got talent. Much needed content. Im a fan now
