Phyllis Hyman living in Confusion(video)

[garystiles1]

This song Ms Phylis sang from her hear! She was torn apart looking for true love. All of her Music told a story that she had experienced. She expressed her self thru her music! She was a great singer! She was loved by a lot of people, if only she realized it, we would still be blessed with her live singing!

[carmeltee504]

she lives in me i love you phyllis

[BiPolarBS]

The song is o.k. It says much. But I don't care if she sang about toilet paper, I'd still listen. However, 2:40 in this video. Nobody on earth could pull that off. NOBODY.

[celestialpathway]

I am proud and true Phyllisian!!

[ILLSLAPAHO]

What a tragic loss this was/is !!!!!

[charristanks]

1 of the greatest to ever hit a note. A rare jewel she'll always be remembered. Anthony Bean Theatre - ABT in New Orleans did a great reenactment of her life a couple of years ago..

[dvs1ne]

the night she died my husband was afraid to tell me. he knew she was my hero. she did her own thing with all the talent which came so deep within her. never getting the applause in which she so much deserved. i dont think there will ever be another singer who sang so much heart break and meant it. a true inspiration to all singers who will not give in to the marketing deal. one of lifes best singers of all time. God bless her and her true heart.

[off10imit8ted]

Upon hearing about the loss of Vesta Williams I immediately felt like hearing Phyllis sing. They were both so talented and deserved much more recognition

[jrudrow9]

i can relate to this song, but i let go an let god

[kim24may]

i hope they do a movie about Phyllis life story,They should get Keke Wyatt to play her because they have a sriking resemblence,and they both have beautiful voices.

[mslusty05]

Phyliss, Sang about really life situations! Lots of confusion in the world still as in 2011 ! Never will be forgotten.. rip..

[marnita826]

Personally I would love to see Ms Hyman's Biography made into a movie. However, I don't think they should get a current singer to play the lead. They need a real actress with beauty and grace to play the lead. For the vocals they should use Ms Hyman's Voice only. NO ONE and I do mean NO ONE can do her voice justice. But that is just my opinion.

[cupid4040]

I use to like this song. Reminds me of working @ Famous Barr, warehouse.

[kendra3136]

RIGHT NOW I AM LIVING THIS SONG

[detriotman]

@kendra3136 How so?

[mtesha]

@kendra3136 I know exactly what you mean. I moved from Seattle to be with my mate and this has been the most miserable 4 months of my life. So i have decide to move on.

[daradiant1]

She was cryin over Red!

[TheArthur0912]

Phyllis, Phyllis I'm so saddened that she never knew "true" love or, inner peace! She was greater than she ever knew she was..........

[UPTBlockObama]

i LOVE THIS WOMAN! I WAS ONLY 14 WHEN SHE LEFT US AND I WAS CRUSHED...i CRIED FOR THAT WHOLE DAY.....SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN..I PRAY YOU HAVE FOUND PEACE QUEEN

[SWEETRENEEB]

SHE LOOKS SOOOOO SAD!

[inky20111]

she tells a sad story felt by so many...told me you loved me and i was the only one...says alot!!!!

[Cochice2]

Omg Phyliss, every time I hear this song it gives me chills for real. Her voice is so powerful and touching the way she expresses her self. Mann she loved for real and so deep.

[beye1holy]

The only thing left of her is her beautiful voice. She was physically attractive but she looks so sad. I hate it. She looks like life beat her witta aluminum bat. I wish I coulda helped her. Such a sad story that coulda been so great.

[teddi4441]

I identify this song with a love i once knew and that's a shame he can't come back no more he look bad know that's a shame he wanted a drug addict and he got just what he deserved drugs he didn't want to be with me.

[AmbrosiusVanllin60]

really miss her.rip phyllis!

[calypsoqueen52]

Aww! Her tears in this video break my heart. So beautiful and tragic. RIP.

[mtlbear69]

Such a shame this talented and beautiful lady cried out and it seems as if noone heard her pleas for help. We are a much sadder society for losing this talent at such an early age. God bless you Phyllis, RIP and i am so glad I have discovered her music.

[40mbooh]

thanx for postn her vidz.. i miss her deeply.. super beautiful and talentd.. R.I.P. Phyllis Hyman..

[SingingSlaveBabii]

this mii aunt im misandra hyman

but i barely saw her caus she only came to 3 family qet toqethers

[Timmy2827]

she was so talented , but she had some serious issues, i watched a show on her called UNSONG ,  Clive Davies didnt know how to market her, he wanted her to sound more Pop, but when whitney got signed she was dropped from the record label, which already had , Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, and Whitney houston, they told her to find some other record label..RIP Phyliss

[marcussatterwhite]

She trusted mankind to much, you put tht kind of faith in GOD!

[iwantMJ1]

i KNOW how she feels ..... lonliness and being around people you dont trust ... is a PAIN IN THE ASS ...smh ... sing it phyllis !!... i love phyllis hyman .. there arent too many artists TODAY that share this kinda pain in music ....

[KLYMAXX444]

She was gifted and very talented and she was someone to listen to and she could help other to heal from a broken heart, we all miss you,

[tyroniusmaximus]

she passed waaaaay before her time!!! She had a very pretty voice---but a sad story in all of her songs.

[vixerdancin]

Thank you for posting this. Such Talent!!!!!

[lea71863]

this is class

[denisethornton919]

She was living through her music and all of us missed the underlying cries for help...Gone too soon, but her legacy lives on....

[amchnyc]

Philly misses Her! Gone to soon R.I.P.

[chaci1]

A typical "teenage" theme song

- i adore this song !

[VJDJ1965]

My God, she was feeling this song! What a beautiful voice. Rest on Sister....

[budacrous]

We will never hear a voice like this again.

[lyric520]

THIS SONG IS THE REAL DEAL IT SPEAKS FOR US LADIES.....AND BOY DO WE GO THROUGH IT SOMETIMES,BUT WE STILL STAY STRONG,AND GATHER OUR THOUGHTS,AND KEEP IT MOVING....THANK YOU FOR THE POST...

[waytoohappy1]

Miss Ya.........

[bigsexy2891]

HER AND DONNY HATHAWAY HAD THE SAME ILLNES

[ChastenLouise]

@bigsexy2891 no he was schizophrenic!

[MultiScoffer]

I had been thinking about Phyllis lately and that's why I am on youtube now. Looking at all the comments, I that she is still missed a lot by her fans. When heard on the radio many years ago that she had died, I was completely devastated. She is what we call a "Once in a blue moon singer." So far, to my knowledge, I have not heard anyone sing like Phyllis Hyman. IMO, the closest would probably be Mesa Leak of Incognito. Other than that, I don't know. LOL to all my Phyllis Hyman Fans.

[moejazzie]

I miss you so much Phyllis that I'm at a loss of words... 

[pattifan]

OMG that tear at 1:53....i'm done..Gosh this video is sooo her life..and sooo sad..she was one of the best and It breaks my heart that she died of a broken heart (affiliated with her illness) so sad smh..i miss her so much she was gorgeous and talented..I will look for her in heaven to sing with :)!

[blackkatt100]

She could deliver a song,man I tell you. She sang with so much emotion. It's written all over her face.

[SkinnyBrandonOHS]

@ thegangstabitch88 she did not kill herself over Clive. She was just a victim of the chronic disease Bi-polar Depression. In her last days on this earth she didnt even realize who she was anymore more or less thinking about Clive Davis. BiPolar Depression is a very misunderstood Disease. And so many people are So ill informed that people are walking around with it and dont even realize it.

[TheGangstabitch88]

actually she was talking about relationship she killed herself bc of a man

[tariqamazin]

i love this song!!

[muffyifill]

@ brownboykd So true of what you've stated. But there was another issue in which Ms. Phyllis dealt with which was the 'source' of her depression...she is a beautiful person besides...

[SuperRazzberry]

I love this song.. but if only we had known what she was going through.. Man..

[BOSSYBARBIE87]

KEKE WYATT WOULD BE A GREAT PERSON TO PLAY HER IN A ROLE..

[Abomb110285]

She Was So Beutiful! And her Voice Was Unforgetable! Its Such a Shame...

[moejazzie]

Signature voice!!!  Beautiful!

[hotmama8408]

I grew up listening to Phyllis via my mom. Its weird hearing the songs now because I actually understand the meaning and how she felt because i've lived through some of this craziness!! R.I.P. Phyllis I love u!!

[ILOVEMUSIC2MSV]

You can see pain and depression on her face while singing this song. WE LOVED THE QUEEN - R.I.P.

[dlong100]

Damnn when I hear Phyllis sing, this shit makes me feel so sorry for her. She was such a passionate person anf loyal to whom she was with. I used to listen to her when i was litle boy, anound 10. Now 38 and still listening to her. I luv her music , so real man.,...

[iphonejag]

I'm living in confusion right now. Thanks Phyllis for this beautiful well sung song. You nailed it with the lyrics. Seems like I'm always going through changes. RIP

[LivinWitness]

@iphonejag Just know your not alone I am finally ending 25 years of the madness I have listened to this song years ago and I still could not make myself just leave him and the time I decided to leave himin 1995 I believe this was the year she died but what year is it now and I am in the courts with a divorce pending as I write this ...depression is so real it causes so many other issues and I waited until It caused me a nervous break down..CONTORL IS BACK IN MY HANDS NOW WHEN IT COMES TO ME..

[moejazzie]

BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!!!

[trinaleigh2003]

MEN WHAT A LOST. T LOVE'S U PHYLLIS. I WISH I COULD HAVE KNOWN U SO I COULD HELP U MOVE FORWARD. LOVE TRACEY

[trinaleigh2003]

[TheHighway2]

[SugareeMoments]

trust is a very hard thing to come by these days...

I'm feeling these changes, the confusion the late Ms. Hyman has...

[zheahra]

How could I have forgotten about this song? I'm glad I got a chance to see her live. She was beautiful and lively. No one can dress like Phyllis.

[msvybe916]

Wanna thank my Mom 4 turnin me onto her...That was a really sad and emotional cd. It's weird how we love feelin some1's pain...

[uniqueman1981]

we can see her pain in this video , she was a remarkable woman !

[vegacutie]

A true Diva!

[BobChippewa]

She is one of the most underrated singers of our time. We miss you!

[OlSkoolRulz]

It breaks my heart to see her crying in this video. RIP, Phyllis.

[poetonaga]

[ddaqueen]

Does anyone know how I see unsung with Phyllis or when it is coming on again ...i always miss it

[BobChippewa]

This woman was so talented, classy, sexy and so underrated. She never really achieved stardom she deserved!

[btinsley1]

Happy Birthday Phyllis !!  Miss you

( 7/6/49 )

[Iransaver]

The sound of an angel! The God sent beautiful soul from heaven. R.I.P

[mhoussel]

The unsung diva RIP Ms. Hyman! This is the epitomy of "grown folk" music! Let us not forget Phyllis, listen to the strength in that magnificent voice! Again, the forgotton diva in every sense!

[nekinono]

This song is so beautiful and those background vocals are sick.

[ddaqueen]

I LOVE THIS WOMAN&i love this song! I can more than relate 2 this song.. im in tears knowing where the confusion &illusion of these dumb men drove her too..

[WarriorSmurf]

I hear what you're saying. As a smart male, I get pissed off thinking about how she was mistreated and disrespected. If I were twenty years older......

[mscarmenjones]

every woman has felt that way

[monreaux123]

i think everyone has felt that way one in a while

[johnstaceykeithadams]

forgot about this song. thanks for the post.

[1MISTRESSKAJUN]

I love Ms.Hyman. All her lyrics are somehow a reflection of my own feelings..Its amazing how people don't realize how they hurt us as if it were nothing. R.I P Phyliss.

[ddaqueen]

SOO TRUE!

[BettyB313]

wow amazing

[bj4569]

Phyllis Hyman had a voice that would put you in another time and place. I saw her in concert in Richmond, VA and it was a wonderful event. Miss her talent alot. RIP

[darrenandbutterfly]

Phyllis was soooooo deep and spiritual. A lot of people have a habit of calling her "sick" as if she wasn't right in the head... she was tuned in at a higher frequency and had a lot of knowledge and deep understanding of things beyond "normal" people's comprehension. She was misunderstood which pained her greatly, She was a loving person who needed some 1 who could love her unconditionally and understand her feelings. I know that she is in a much happier place feeling much love. Luv Phyllis!

[lawjd961]

RIP Phyllis Hyman. Thank for posting brownboykb.

[sophiacat30]

Ahh, the writer hit the nail on the head, and the voice drove it deeper....

[MsPinoke]

Love this song!

[cageylady1]

I love the music of Phyllis Hyman. This is an awesome song and she performs it unbelievably. She signifies a true singer. One who can make any song truly theirs. Not many artist ,especially of today ,can make that claim. Those of us who appreciate Phyllis' music are blessed that she happened our way musically.

[Monstah64]

I met her at concert in Va I still remmember the day I herd she had died I play Meet me on the moon over and over she was in pain I heard it Rest now baby I will miss your soulful voice.

[SexxiSassiSistha]

Unsung is great ffor the Black community bringing Mental Sickness in the community to the fore front.She suffered from Bypolar dis order.Donny Hataway was paroid skit.Diane Ross did the movie out of darkness and it is still put on the back burner and it need to be up front and dealt with. Lookin at Bobby Brown and he doesn't take his med's.

[1975tooto]

Yes when I looked back at my childhood in the inner city it helps me now that I know these things because I used to always wonder why certain kids had certain types of behavoir.We can only imagine how many Children in the inner cities may have had some type of disorder of some sorts ,only to go by undiagnosed .We still need healing!

[getmegot18]

love her!!!!!!so beautiful!! thanks for posting!!

[landy321961]

She was talking about her life. I wish someone had listened more closely. We miss you Phyllis!

[jahnique9]

@landy321961 she talked about her life in all her songs dear. she needed help that only God and a phychiatrist could give her. she is gone but never forgotten. i miss her as well. LOVE YOU Phyllis.

[jaylin40]

@landy321961 So true, so true.

[lindsey2021]

she was telling the world about her struggles. No one seemed to listen.

[nekinono]

Anyone who listened to the album could here her struggles. There is so much pain and sadness that it's almost hard to listen to.

[libraonly]

keke wyatt would do her life story justice...a beautiful soul gone

[chizzy76]

I LOVED THIS SONG WHEN I WAS SMALLER AND NOW THAT I'M OLDER, I CAN RELATE. r.i.p

[OT456]

beautiful song r.i.p live forever

[jln195399]

Love Phyllis! Gone but not forgotten!

[verdipeach]

This song is the TRUTH!!!

[TV5Alive]

This lady looks soo much like Evangelist Dorinda Clark-Cole!!!!!

[MAISEN101]

your right this look just like dorinda

[camillion4]

this is one of them nights when you get a bottle of merlot, and a bubble bath, with candles lit, and mopping around the house over a hard breakup... i've witness my mama before she got married!lol

[jmalyka]

I have not heard this sings in decades(literally) My how times pass and how good music can stand the test of time......

[irvinbean123]

Oh how I can very much relate to this song in so many ways. Phyllis really put her heart into this song just as she does in all of her songs. Phyllis you really hit home in a personal kind of a way and I love it. God bless you Phyllis. irvinbean123

[themaltesebippy]

An amazing track!

[deejaygrl]

Thanks brownboykb.I was going through some hard times when I heard this song. I love phyllis hyman songs.deejaygrl

[BigBenLBC]

Yes job well done!

[namcintosh]

So THAT's who sing this song. She sings so beautifilly. It's so sad that she committed suicide. :-(

[jblaze411]

i love this song

[BigLLomas]

Brother this is a beautiful video, the comments are a bit sad, especially coming from our people. In today's world kids are raised in dysfunctional families were drugs and alcohol are abused. It's hard to believe that some even suffer physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hand's of their parents. With little if any spiritual teaching's it's sad to see that some of these children are hurting so much that they would take their own life. Man do we need God more that ever. God's Love to all.

[brownboykb]

There's alot of focus on phyllis and men, or lack of a man. but most are forgeting her stuggle with being bipolar or manic depressive illness,the disease of emotional highs and lows, We forget this is a Stong illness and wont just go away,Many cover it up with drugs,alcohol, food, many lovers,no lovers

Actress jennifer lewis talks about her battle with this disease meds has helped her.

Depression is serious in the african american community We need to talk about it

thanks

[manyara02]

@brownboykb U're absolutely right! With all of the struggles, disappointments & setbacks we've endured, as blacks, it should b no surprise that many blacks suffer from depression & other forms of mental illness. I look forward to the day when we can b honest about our feelings.

[soymiguelalejandro23]

@brownboykb thanks for that comment. I deal with those issues a lot on my page. stop by sometimes.

I'm glad to know that you love Phyllis as do I.

[silky1700]

MEN RUN WOMEN TO WOMEN SOMETIMES, SAD.

[churchNallDway]

Sometimes we speak thing within in our lives not knowing it, she sung how/what she felt. She was a very emotional singer, but weak N her soul. She put too much trust in man & often got hurt behind relationships, if only she had put that same trust N God, this woman would still B singing & moving upon D hearts of many. My heart goes out to her family, they are the ones left with hurtful memories you and I never will know. Fame never surpasses happiness, it only mask it...

[Grammy2Be]

I'm glad you picked your name as it's phrased, you judgemental SOB! One of Jesus' disciples committed suicide, you friggin pharisee...so check your stees before you go judging an artist who is more of a real person than your fake ass!

[antiann52]

I don't know about anybody else, but I can hear the pain in her voice, the sense of hopelessness. I hate so badly that she killed herself. I thank God for my relationship with him. Nothing is ever completely hopeless if you have Jesus on your side.

[barshara007]

wow! every time i come to your blog to watch her videos..i get so emotional! big fan,,i can relate to her..

[Rsulu]

Thank you for posting. Huge P.H. fan....

[noteworthysista]

another legend gone too soon... Thanks for the memories...

[educatorpoet]

Thank you for posting this video I had been looking for it for so long. Another icon lost to tragedy. She was so beautiful, young and so underrated. Her vocals were phenomenal.

KeKe Wyatt sort of favors her in looks not in voacals although she is a great sanger as well. Just never know what someone is going through. Her eyes in her later career just look so sad but she always sung with compassion. You literally could feel what she was sanging about.

RIP Phyliss! You are missed much.

[noirpoetix]

you guys really need to read her biography. it'll go deeper into her life and how she felt she wasn't as successful as she should have been

[groundcinnamon]

kuntroversy's right...seeing her cry is hard to watch...I felt my throat tighten bc it's so real...she didn't just sing lyrics, she gave you the very lining of her heart...

[Grammy2Be]

It was New Year's Day of 2004 when I heard "This Too Shall Pass" for the first time. When my 'godmom' informed me who Phyllis was and that she killed herself, I was SO SAD. I was so shocked. I wish I could have known her, and I would write a whole album to encourage her to keep on keeping on!

[kuntroversy]

thank you so much for posting this video! it's one of my favorites, even though it's sad--like the majority of Ms. Hyman's songs. I'm always moved by this video because you can actually see her cry (1:57) and I have no doubt that those tears were real. She's long gone but I hope that wherever she is she has some sense of peace and happiness. (btw, you have awesome taste in music)

[BMWman79]

From 1991-92... Phyllis enjoyed HUGE success... with this track, Don't wanna change the world,and when you get right down to it. and, she does go deep into relationship drama here in the video.

[goldeneye00756]

It's true, I believe that was actually the peak of her career, and she didn't even get to ride it out. "Don't Wanna Change the World" could've broken her into a whole new generation and she could've extended into hip-hop and house music from there. What a shame... Speaking of shameful things, I always hated how heavily they edited this song for video and radio play.
