[babe11383]

@redunicorn How awesome! glad to meet you. Any recent videos u've directed?

[cleogirl75]

So very 90's and I miss it so much! Before everything was vocalized and before all the women went crazy with their clothing. I love the simple message put into the song and how the video reciprocates that message in a simple fashion as well.

[ALCV117]

Des'ree, you are number one! :)

[JasonBrazen]

@DaveDude571

"You gotta get drunk"- "You wanna feel good" - "Drink, Budweiiiiseeer!" LOL

Just kidding. I remember this song from back in the day when I was a naive child. Now I'm older and I'm living in the REAL world. What I wouldn't give to feel like a young, innocent, stupid baby with unrealistic goals again. HA!

[enesfra]

@JasonBrazen i luv ur remix

[enesfra]

@JasonBrazen i luv ur remix

[hyunthesosarian]

@Wanthy Basically, Des'ree uses "herald" in a "pay attention to" kind of sense.

[Wanthy]

English is not my native language, can anyone explain to me the meaning of "Herald what your mother said"

[KnockSquared]

[monaloz88]

[trojanluck88]

@monaloz88 She's still doing her thang! Its just a shame that the record industry has no integrity to real music, or talented artists with deep things to say! But I'm truly in love with her, and if she ever tour the ATL, I'm there..

[RushAndQueenFan]

[woodskendrick1]

[ZBClark1]

I love this song so much. A lot of the youth today need to listen to this song to know that there is brighter light beyond the darkness that they are in. Be more and you shall receive more. AND SO IT IS.

[MissiahR2]

Such a great song:)

[GoodLuckMel]

[LonleyRocker103]

I've official raped the replay button way too many times.

[adoleythedison]

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Onwukaeb1]

You gotta be...kidding me if you dont like this song .

[GlassFlowers19]

i would listen to this song when i was a kid, u guys r right soooo many memories, remember Good Music like this and pass it down to your kids or share it with anyone who likes what music USED to be---GOOD!

[WhtGaiGhettoBoi]

i love this song. it is linked with some good memories. Oh, and the word bad in this song is not in refrence to hate, negitivity, or spite, but rather a metaphor to be confident in yourself :)

[RachelJ1231]

It dosen't matter if she says good or bad it's a great song okay

[omarlives]

The first thing she says, is u gotta be bad? why? lol i wass just having a long convo about how i hate girls that talk about they bad bitches. i dont want a bad, hateful, spiteful, full of negativity bitch!

[GrenGoddess]

@omarlives good and bad dont exist in the first place. I think she meant "do not conform" ^_~ but bad just fit in with the song easier ^_~

[omarlives]

@GrenGoddess good n bad don't exist? so killing a child or killing anyone, that's not bad?

[MrJunyor84]

@omarlives Bad used to be a much more common slang term for very good. She's not saying you have to be a bitch, she's saying you have to be HARDCORE AWESOME. My dad used to say, 'Oh, you're BAD, aren't you?' when I did everything from learn to ride my bike to making a good score on a test.

[omarlives]

@MrJunyor84 yea, i'm aware of the slang. lol i guess it musta just slipped my mind. i'm sure she meant it in the most positive way.

[AbeLinguista]

M'encanta esta canción y su letra igual! me hace recordar muy buenos tiempos además.

[Moonshine3991]

For some reason, this is such a nostalgic song...!

I love it! =)

[beeker66usa]
