  • One of the few songs from this Steve era that I truly like.

  • genius

  • I don't know enough about music to really identify genius, but Stevie Wonder is a serious badass.

  • This is his best and when I get down I listen to it.

  • stevie wonder in my opinion is the greatest american musician ever. n im only 28yrs old

    

  • Stevie is out there in a whole new universe! He brings us music from far away places & times! This one takes you away to a very peaceful time & a place! THANK U STEVIE!

  • I can not find the words to describe how much of a genius this man is. I love Stevie Wonder so much.

  • Love this song!!

  • these instrumentals are so soulful. the words are touching. Stevie is underrated. Think he should come out with some new material , to show these young ones what music is supposed to do ; inspire.

  • @jhemar925 I agree that Stevie Wonder is an astonishing talent, but underrated? Every rock critic on Earth uses the word "genius" whenever even casually mentioning him. He and the Beatles are like royalty and the Founding Fathers in the world of pop music discourse.

  • crying.

  • The greatest American singer/songwriter ever. Perhaps in the world. A true artist and a national treasure. God bless you Stevie. Your music has been a huge part of my life.

  • Seamless, tmeless, and leaves a person breathless as they look for a way to NOT be drawn into his story as he sings it.

    Stevie is a true genius, not becasue he's blind and a musician, but because he masterfully creates a reason for a person to NEED to hear what he is saying.

  • The very love, the very life, and the very wisdom of God has poured his heart out for us. When we are in despair, he feels it because he's been through it for us. When we cry, he wipes away our tears because he has already cried for us. And when we seek him, he smiles because he knows there is no other way to find true happiness except throgh him. And his name is Jesus Christ

  • Many years ago a dear friend of mine was killed in the city of Detroit, Michigan, and it was this song that helped me through that trajedy. Now I know! Thank you Lord for Stevie Wonder.

  • A Musical GIANT, NUFF SAID..

  • Comment removed

  • It's amazing how Stevie Wonder had been recording music for 25 years when this album came out---and he hadn't even turned 40 yet. He'd been a bona fide legend for a decade, even!

  • Incredible in sight-This song is lthe launguage of God for those who can not help themselves

    Shabazz

  • I love this song.

  • Stevie é incrível...sempre!

  • The lyrics, the Voice, the Music, is Timeless Stevie Wonder is my idol!!!

    Checkout my cover of Good Morning by India Arie.

  • This song is really helping me right now, i've been so down and depressed,but this song is giving me so much hope. i love it loved it since i was a kid. back then it was the arangment yes i'm a musician, but as i evolved into an adult now i know what it really means.

  • 27 years young, but my father played this song all the time when I was little. Timeless classic.

  • For my grandma! Because I know she's gonna die soon and I don't know what to do. She's not eating, drinking, or talking...I know she'll be gone soon. I'm very sad cause I'm lost on what to do!!!

  • @regester75 pray that she has peace and comfort. Be there for her and make her last days happy.

  • @regester75 I

    hope she is well I know she was a beautiful woman,now utilize the wisdom she gave you

    Shabazz

  • @SuperLogic21

    Thank you for your comment. She died September 18, 2011. The funeral was wonderful. It definitely celebrated her life.

  • Man...this song has been there through every heart break, heartache, and every hard time that I have ever had. It's beautiful...It's timeless...It's nameless...it's raceless... It's just what the weary needs. It tells you that there is something else to give your heart and soul to. It says to strive and cry and keep going on. It tells you to be strong and keep going. It says that one day that everything will be alright.I love you Stevie!!

  • Inspiration defined.

  • I would not have had my youngest son if it had not been for this song. This song is so beautiful and spiritual.

    "Every life has reason for I made it so..."

    I feel as if God spoke to me through this song.

  • Mary Mary stole this song for their incredible album

  • @darktemplar05

    What's the name of their song they sampled this from?

    

  • @NJNupe1911 They didn't steal the song. They paid homage to him by recording it. His songs have been remade by so many others such as RHCP and Luther Vandross because he is such an influence.

  • OMG!!!!! Simply Beautiful........

  • I agree we must take responsibilty for our short comings God bless you.

  • STEVIE IS SUCH A GIFT TO US ALL-HIS MUSIC AND HIS HUMANITARIAN CONTRIBUTIONS ARE SPECIAL AND UNIQUE...

  • THE LYRICS SAY IT ALL !!!!

  • 1 idiot won't know....

  • @ThunderWalker238 LOL hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahah­ahhahahahahahahahahahahhaahaha­hahahahahahahaha. LOL

  • @ThunderWalker238 LOL make that two!

  • @ThunderWalker238 another idiot has joined their ranks...so sad...lmmfao

  • @ThunderWalker238 Try 2 idiots.. :-)

  • this man is the 8th Wonder of the world. when you listen to the words from this song you will know that we all have a Lord and Savior in Jesus Chrisi, all we have to do is call on Him and Listen to what He says that we should do. May the Peace of Christ be with us all.

  • @GGS06SM Amen! Jesus is the way the truth and the life...he is the very love and wisdom of the Father revealed to us all...our only way of salvation, and our only way to know who God truly is! Praise be to the Father in the name of his living Word! His very Son!

  • ONE OF THE MOST LEGENDARY ARTISTS OF OUR TIME!

  • I don't know what it is, but it's like Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson know exactly what kind of music and sounds to make just to move me to tears....I love them so much!

  • who is the one idiot crazy enough to dislike this song??!!..smh

  • @zella10ify I don't know who disliked this song, but they really suck!

  • @MonumentalKB Agreed. They better have hit it by accident

  • I'm very used to feeling like I would melt while listening to Stevie's music...but for some reason, I felt like I wanted to cry, slap someone, and throw up at the same time listening to this song...(That's my normal reaction when i see/ hear something so awesome I can't handle it) I had like... a super flash back...God I love Stevie Wonder...

  • A wonderful song

  • How do you know? YOU will know.

  • So Good

  • absolountely inspational.The man its truely gifted and is a musical genius..May god bless you throughout the years .

  • goooooooooood

  • the beat... <3

  • Wow. This perfectly describes my parents. The first part my mom, the second part my dad. :(

  • people that constantly hate on the biggest entertainers are completely absent minded. if you make world HIStory and still is today even though your music stands in the past then you're kind of all that. but for people that have no accomplishments in life for some reason love bashing on these wonderful people. yeahh..there's a lesson to be learned.

  • "LONELY ONE OF YOUNG SO BROKENHEARTED TRAVELING DOWN THE RIGID ROAD OF LIFE".........................­HANG IN THERE FOLKS "YOU WILL KNOW TROUBLE LORD YOU KNOW, PROBLEMS HAVE SOLUTIONS TRUST AND I WILL SHOW EVERY LIFE HAS REASON FOR I MADE IT SO"

  • Stevie - all i can say is THANK YOU!

  • Fantastic song with powerful melody and lyrics...It is a resolution in Faith at every level...Peace&Love.......

  • The epitome of greatness. The lyrics and chord progression are top shelf. This is just great. I hope Mr. Wonder performs this at his shows and understands that this song is socially significant and very profound. It lags (or stalls) sonically to the masses but it's so great to those who can appreciate it.

  • i first heard this song like 10yrs ago it touched m so much that i cried being a single parent really takes alot wish i did have a life pertnr but life is what it is

    partner

  • i first heard this song like 10yrs ago it touched m so much that i cried being a single parent really takes alot wish i did have a life pertnr but life is what it is

  • This songs speaks to my past and beyond.

  • This is the kinda L.P. you listen from the 1rst to the last song, and then you listen all the L.P. again and again..and then each song of it stays in your head forever...Splendid....

  • ok, the talking ads on YT.... totally annoying

  • "Problems have solutions. Trust and [the Most High] will show... Every life has reason." Amen.

  • Go Stevie!

  • The Besttttttttt !!!!!!!!! ;)

  • I love me some Stevie Wonder

  • this is the music that tells how people in the world really are

  • this reminds me of my ex- who broke my heart we are good friends now.

  • Stevie is one of my favorite artist place checkout my version of this song and leave a comment

  • beautiful love ballad stevie is a musical genuis.

  • This song should be played by every psycho therapist, pastor, parent, military chaplain whoever ends up counseling folks in trouble to said persons.

    When the crying stops, you'll likely see people coming to better conclusions in life.

  • Stevie's words nicely sum things: "Problems have solutions; trust, and I will show," and "Every life has a reason, for I made it so." Rather than look to such means as drugs, alcohol, and death to ease our pain and suffering, we should look to God for the wisdom and strength to reason and see things through and understand that He purposely put us in the world (albeit immediately unknown). Personally, I think that Stevie himself had a heartfelt talk with God and was prompted to record this song.

  • @wizzenheimer absolutely! This is a powerful message every single person needs to hear

  • Excelente musica, uma das melhores que ja ouvi na mina vida....

  • i think im going to start my mornings off with this song from now on, it calms me

  • Stevie transcends color, race, and age. His music touches all, and actually makes you think! This whole world should be so thankful that God has given us such an amazingly beautiful, musical, and spiritual soul. Someone like Stevie only comes around once, and I intend to meet him the next chance I get. Stevie defines music! For someone who can not see visually, he certainly can hear our minds and hearts. And to put that into song is absolutely mindblowing and, if anything, wonderful.

  • Stevie's the man=)

  • I remember as a little girl listening to this song,and it touch me so deep.I'm 31 now and looking over my life and every subject he has hit in this song I have either been through it, am going through it now or know someone who is! I Thank God for this mans spirit! I think everyone can relate to his music in some shape, form or fasion!I love you Stevie!

  • ppl how can I find Stevies song that goes like this:LET ME FEEL LIKE PARADISE...GIVE ME WHAT AM MISSING

  • @xxxlady77 Hi! Yes, the name of that song is Love Light in Flight from the Woman In Red soundtrack. There are several good versions of it on YouTube. I LOVE that song - it is the absolute jam! Ironic that I read your post this morning, because I thought of that song while driving with the intention to play it for my brother. Stevie rules on all fronts (: Happy listening and be well.

  • @xxxlady77 I think it's called "Love light in flight"

  • I just heard of this song on Friday May 7th 2010, and to me this is another one of Stevie's greatest songs. All of us have to keep pressing on know matter how hard life gets. We can make it and we will know when something is wrong and something is right.

    Keep Living!

  • Problems have solutions. Trust & I will show.

    Luv u still R T D, we're # 9

  • Beautiful. Thought provoking. Timeless. Love. Stevie. Wonder. Always.

  • A true Legend.

  • I love this song. One day I heard it on Music Choice channel on Cablevision.

  • booo

  • I was happy to hear this album! knowing that he had made a big comeback with this one!

  • the words to this... wow. He was ahead of the game.

  • Heard tha Mary Mary version first, and noticed that Stevie Wonder wrote it. Had 2 listen 2 tha original! Stevie Wonder is amazing!

  • i heard mary mary singing this and found out that this song originally came from Stevie :3 i Love this song now and it helps a bit cause right now im having a hard time at home my parents tell me i cant tell my business wat happens at home and u all know what goes on the internet stays and cant be removed it stays on the internet forever so yall please pray for me v.v and God bless u all Amen

  • @lilmamaakamisscutie, Hope things are going fine for you, Mr Stevie Wonder will ease your soul, better than Medicine, my prayers are with you misscutie Take care, Hugs2U

  • well good luck and I wish you all the best..things are gonna happen sometimes that are not in your control and you just gotta learn from them and make the best out of every sittuation

  • Just listen to what he's saying in this song!!

  • :( i kinda feel bad cause im 12 and i read ur comments saying things like "i remeber listening 2 this song when i was 11 and 4"(i guessing not alot of children now days listen 2 music like this .I guess im a weird child cause i like good old music like this i dont really like jay-Z beyonce ,rihanna ( i recently did research on them and found out that they were devil worshipers its sad v.v) I believe that there is hope were god is

  • @lilmamaakamisscutie dont worry, music can only get better, because i dont see how it can get much worse. i was fortunate enough to grow up in the 70s and 80s w/ the good stuff was on the radio constantly and i do feel for the young people who have to hear these songs as oldies. these new chumps dont even TRY to be creative, case in point: "genius" kanye remixed "billie jean" and removed the bassline-the key ingredient in that classic song. mike came up with that bassline

  • They are not devil worshipers. The net fanatics have taken that nonsense too far.

  • 最高!!

  • Genius. This song is unexplainable!

  • Thank you, I saw him in concert and he is magic!

  • Pure and simple also sheer Genius that describes the talents of Stevie Wonder .. what a great song from 1987

  • i was born in 1987 special year i see

  • Yes, it was..:)

  • To choose between a God who loves and created me, to me being a descendant of a monkey, with no origin apart from popping out of the sky in a big bang from nowhere. I think I will be happy to accept a loving creator who gives me hope and cares for me and watches over me thanks for this post. No wonder there is so much crime, violence hate, antisocial behavior because people don't think anything valuable of their existence

  • I LOVE this song!!! One of my many, many favorite Stevie Wonder songs!! He IS a musical genius!!!

  • one of my all time favorite songs. Laid back and cool. Long live stevie

  • God give us choices whether it's Good or Bad we need to take responsibilty for ourselves.We blame

    God for our own Fuck ups .

  • @DrinkinMonkey09 don't be so hard on yourself, remember we need to learn how to forgive!

  • @ethicalbro Thank you

  • This song is what music should be like.

    Magical, Beautiful and Wonderful Music:)

    Why can musician stop coping and make their own music instead of coping from LEGENDARY PEOPLE LIKE STEVIE WONDER?

    PEACE to ALL STEVIE WONDER FANS!!!!:D

  • Stevie helps me cope! I think you mean "copying"!

    ; P

    You are correct, this is beautiful music!

    : )

  • This Song is one Stevie Wonder best song, i have that cd, I bought it on my 18 birhtday, i love Stevie Wonder, im 20 now but I listen to this a least 4 times a day, when I feel like giving up this is song reminds me to keep fighting no matter what happens.

  • This is beautiful- MaryMary did a grat cover, but the original is so pretty....I remember this at 4 years old, now at 26, it gives me chills!!!!

  • co-sign with truthofjuly - the truth of this song gives me chills.

    "Every life has reason...........Trust and I will show...............For I made it so"

  • Music like this is missing in today's time,and we get is this Hip Hop Soul bull shit,damn what happen to true R&B music.

  • Right. It's a shame.

  • As an alone single mom, this song really hits home.....wow....

  • Stevie Wonder is a visionary. Its amazing to say that its as though he really can see.

  • makes a grown man wana cry

  • stevie is too much for me

  • I feel what ur saying. It's so hard to believe one man can create sooo much beautiful music, it can overwhelm u! And on top of that, he's blind! Truly amazing, this guy.

  • my son told me that this song reminds him of me, when they were young i was a single parent raising them.

  • it felt like this song was made for me when i discovered it in the late 90's

  • It's so weird. I was 2 in '87, but i remember every song on this album. I can remember my dad playing the cassette like every day. The crazy part is if someone like Neyo came out with this song today I would probally hate it. Music just sucks that bad today. Inspirational song tho. Love it.

  • this song helped me get through when my aunt passed away last year...it really is sad and inspirational.

  • Hey,

    I'm sorry to hear your aunt died bro. You did so much for her.

    Take care

  • Thank You so much. I was blessed to be able to help her.

  • I am sorry for you loss.  I hope life is going well for you.

  • Thanks. This is life, we have to make the most of it while we are here. Living and loving. It is through love that we find the strength to continue.

  • this song is very touching i rember when it came out i was a little young boy and i liked it back then now im a man and i love it

  • U Know!  Much Luv Magic1

  • I was only 8 when i got his LP in my hands... and it's still one of my favorites! Always....

  • 1987 was a crazy year.

  • this song makes me cry too cause in this year my 10 yr old brother was hit by a car and killed. i miss him so much and this was a veeeery hard time for my family.

  • Hello ursula504, I just wanted to express my sympathy to you for your loss of your young brother. I hope and pray that over time you and your family will heal. May God Bless you and your family forever.....

  • i am so sorry to hear that; but think again you have all the memories and family that still loves him and you Im sure he is truly missed and he will always be in your heart and the familys too I send my hugs and love to you ....KC

  • Stevie wonder may be blind, but he can see far better than ANYONE if you know what I mean!

  • He's wise & sees the whole world far better than anyone, as you say....

    God bless him!

  • This song makes me think of childhood. Great song

  • Its hard to listen to this song without crying. When the video for this song came out, my parents had just gotten divorced. My brother,who is 3 years older, saw my mother cry and struggle to take care of us ; the same way the video went.

  • Sorry, about the experience. It's still a great song

  • no doubt. Thanx sweety !

  • No doubt, Love

  • This song was the song I feel in love with almost atfer i first heard it on the way to work. Thanks for the post

  • I used to play the hell out that CD. Where is it now?
