i think the whole, "why do i feel so empty" has two meanings. there's a deeper meaning like yall are describing now - but there's a more obvious physical one as well...
"Why Do I Feel So Empty..." Boy I have had a few encounters that were HOT during the inception but once the sweat dried I'm like "Damn". I guess I've matured to the point where although I love, LOVE sex it is just not enough - I want more! You can't have more with everybody though, some people are just for sex - no coversation, dates or dinner & a movie - just FUCKING!! But those are the people you should really avoid because they're the ones that give you the "Damn" moment afterwards.
@liacashmere58 when it came it she said it wasnt for the kids. thas for sure. i luv jill on anytrack she do. i still say her and maxwell needa collab on sumn that be hott as hell
I love how Jill draws the listener in,appealing to the carnal,decadent,erotic,voyueristic(did i spell that right?...lol)nature then confronts us with the conscience! Soul music(not to be confused with R&B) at it's best!
I Must Remember To Thank Him Later Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah I Take Charge Of da Ship Moving With My Back And Hips Like My Ancestors Did Speaking The Bantu, Ranga And Tonga What About A Stop All That To Make Love But It's Tooooo Late I Put Him To Sleep Curled All Up Spasm All In His Feet Feeling All Proud Like I Did Something Deep Ain't Really Nothing It's The Way That It Be For a North Philly Sista Reppin' Hard Like Me But Why Do I Feel So Empty?
You know its art when the artist writes their own lyrics with such skill that the imagery is so great it's as if their pen paints a picture in your mind (as another might do with a paintbrush). Oh, & this is TRULY TRULY grown folks' music.
yooooooOOOOOOOoooo this song is so dope....i miss stuff like this...word up...yo
people its this video that i seen with these dude and woman singin and rapping and its really new too...type "2/6 of good vo" i think and it should show...CHECK IT OUT LOLZ
This song basically meant dt the guy had sum gud lovin, but she wnts LOVE ! Hello?? She sez dt later on in the album in the song "Wanna Be Loved"... I agree, sex isnt everything.. U not only want tht physical connection, but the MENTAL ! Realness...
i'm telling you i smiled throughout this whole song! Then I googled the lyrics & screamed, "are you freakin kiddin' me???!!!" when it was over! lmboooo! THIS WOMAN IS THE TRUTH!!!! her lyrics have so much meaning & their REAL!!! I LOVE HER!
That could be.... I think its more of what cookie1176 said. Its having sex without the connection. It was great and felt like something more but at the end she still felt empty inside.
these words are so poetic, you need to able old enough to understand the lyrics and when yo do......dayym it just opend a whole new side of emoticans. Thanks jill xxxxx
@crabslayer85 Why not drop the porn? Just sayin'....Jill is erotic, but definitely not pornographic. The truly erotic is indeed "fulfilling" just as you so well said. Porn empties because it's all about stimulation without communion. It's empty because the whole scene behind it is foul. The whole scene behind Jill's music has so much love that we, the hearers, feel that when we hear her and that's why we feel her so much. Peace and love to you.
"Flip side, stomach meets sheets. He plows inside as if he's making beats. As if this year's harvest depended on it. Bendin' on it" DAAAAMN! STILL blows me away. "But why do I feel so empty?" NO WORDS!
@ninababy97 lol that's what I said when I heard The Real Thing, I hadn't heard this Epiphany and this came out before her album The Real Thing, so she's been a freak lol. Jill Scott is the truth all day and night. When I hear All I, I fell out.
@jazzmac03 i know wat the last line said and the song meant that the sex was good but the love wasnt there.. im talkin about her goin into detail about her lil sex episodes.... i listen to this song often.. i know wat it means...
@ninababy97 Oooooh cool. It just seemed like you were saying the song was about how freaky she is. I hate when people don't really LISTEN...but you probably already know what I mean.
@ninababy97 Oooooh cool. It just seemed like you were saying the song was about how freaky she is. I hate when people don't really LISTEN...but you probably already know what I mean.
I think that she felt empty is because it was nothing more than just sex. That's all she really wanted from him anyway. When you get more mature sometimes sex alone isn't enough and I know how she feels. You need a connection. Makes the sex better.
@cookie1176 and in the beginning, in innocence, you need it to be more; if that's not met, if the need is bludgeoned out of you, you grow insensitive and what held so much meaning loses meaning; happens to many girls, who have different relational tendencies than many boys... they shouldn't have to sacrifice their depth of feeling, because their partners just want sex.
this woman is absolutely amazing. she performed here in barbados at our Jazz festival and brought tears to my eyes and And i'm not even the type to cry. she can really move ppl!
