I Love This Song....unfortunately I didn't find any translation in italian...but I can understend almost every word...But What does the word "whereabouts" mean? Sorry for my english >.<
@ila20StevieWonder No worries......Adverb: Where or approximately where: "whereabouts do you come from?".
Noun: The place where someone or something is: "his whereabouts remain secret....The theme of this song is one trying to find one's self when in Love or out of Love...
I met Stevie Wonder and gave him a demo of my music. My ideas were all over this album, not even the good ones. This was around the time that he got sued for I Just Called. I love Stevie anyway.
love it. "im trying to find my whereabouts what shall i do, when nothing seems to follow through. im trying to find my whereabouts im turning blue, but wait i may have found a clue. my whereabouts are somewhere in yesterday with you". whoooooo
I think Kadeem Harrison said it best. If anybody said they have a favorite Stevie Wonder is lying. Because there's too many of them. He is a true genius.
Oh God!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG! I CRY RIGHT NOW.. I'VE LOVED THIS SONG SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL... I WOULD REWIND AND WRITE DOWN ALL THE WORDS, AND THEN SING THE SONG OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I THIOUGHT THE SONG WENT "my way of love is somewhere in yesterday with you"..lol.. but my whereabouts is just as beautiful... I love Stevie!!!
The firdt I have heard this song was back in 1987. My brother brought the album with him from the UK. I listed to this album over and over again when I needed time to myself. I am also a singer and he is one my inspiration . I know the whole album. I have never heard it played on the radio since I moved from Jamaica to the USA. Stevie is so amazing!!!!!!!!!
Serendipitously, I clicked the tab for this song, and found that it's the song that plays in my head, from time to time. I didn't know the title. Thanks! I hadn't heard this song since I was in elementary school, and now that I'm old enough to appreciate the lyrics, I love it even more than I did, then.
Who else can produce, and that within the bounds of popular song, such a bold harmonic utterance while steadfastly retaining the fundamental attributes required by the form (economy & hooks)? With childlike simplicity of line he doth groove across the landscape, attaining to and apprehending that which is seldom heard and almost never felt, the "accidental" structures of the inner-ear's longing, that we, the fortunate audience, may relish the sweet intensity thereof and dance thereabout.
@skybendu I gues that was the Albert Einstein interpretation of that song?Where i can appreciate your articulate slew of euphemisms to describe it.I thinks it's a bit of overkill.If you like it,you like it.
I posted Whereabouts back in 2007, but was asked to delete by Youtube because of copyright violation !!...How comes yours is still on for a year now !?
They never ask you to delete it, they just make it unavailable. So I just left it there. Then earlier last year Google and UMG reached a deal on creating a new site and all the sudden all the videos they previously blocked became available again. So even though I added it a year ago it hasn't been available the whole time. I recently got a bunch of other WMG videos back as well. So when something gets removed I wouldn't delete it, keep it, you never know when you'll get it back.
@BobsArtGallery these record labels be too greedy. all people doing is putting songs up to listen too thats all they act like we affecting they business if anything its helping them.
I used to jam to this with my father when I was only 5..and still til this day..This is my favorite album. Stevie set the bar so high that even artists today can't even match this. The music today is ok but back in the 60's, 70's and 80's and early 90's that was music
The square is the earth, the circle means infinity and perfection, (and we cannot "square the circle"...) this is the concept Stevie wanted to deliver to us...
its crazy how the quality of music decreases as time goes on. This song is fantastic and when I compare it to the songs that are out now, music in the 2000s sucks
Just like so many of Stevie Wonders compositions, this is a very beautiful song. So deep on many levels.

It's amazing how a song can speak your heart (but I guess that what makes Stevie-'Stevie'!) Have this album on vinyl.
