  • What can't he do?

  • I'm so Fucking happy I found this been searching for this song for years. Didn't know the proper spelling for his last name. In 2012 realized that I could utilize Google by typing in lyrics that I remembered. When this poped up in the search results my heart was over joyed! I really am a true fan. My women found it for me online were purchasing it as I type. I'm so excited to hear it. YouTube is skipping badly can't enjoy it. But hearing the 30's I did was pure melted chocolate to the heart!

  • Timeless!

  • I remember someone asking me what he's talking about when he says, I Can't Do That... and I said it's pretty much summing up his vulnerability and emotional distance, and his trust issues...he's having difficulty committing to her... He Can't Expose his feelings and heart. Anybody have a different take on this song...?

  • If you find her..Hold Her!!! I Can't Give What I Don't Have!! Love this song still..its on heavy rotation on my Ipod!

  • LOVE THIS STILL! I remember getting the Stephen Simmonds cassette tape sampler like 10 years ago and I STILL play this and "Alone" to DEATH!

    Honestly, Stephen is UP THERE on par with a Brian McKnight and Maxwell in the soul department. AWESOMENESS!

    Album this song was on was amazing too.

    I really liked the songs: Universe, Alone, tears never dry, searchin' & Let it go.

    Stephen is completely underrated.

  • been looking for this song for a while now--but couldn't remember the artist--beautiful lyrics

  • I remember when this song was played on BET Midnight Love.

  • Loved this song and that whole CD. Underrated.

  • i really want to see him in concert

  • Lmao i remember when this song first came out. It was my song. i sung it til i pissed off everyone lol.. i still thought of it from time to time...

  • My favorite song by him. He really should get more recognition here in the states.....

  • I am addicted to this song

  • LOVE this song

    .

  • mmmh, he is not called the boy with a golden voice for nothing =)

  • my question is: can't do what?

  • Can't let her go

  • Wish I could find this song on I tunes. 5 stars. I remember when this came out. Awesome. Baby making music

  • Get spotify!

  • It's nice people remember this son. A lot of times when I mention it, they don't even recognize him =(

    This is a hott song.

  • Great singer and great song WoW !!!!

  • The singer Meatloaf came out with a #1 song "I would do anything for love but I won't do that"...no one knows ...each individual person listening can interpret what they won't and can't do for love

  • What is it that he cant give? What doesnt he have? I've been nuts about this song since it first came out. But I could never figure it out. Help! anybody?!

  • Not sure...maybe she wants him to give up his singing career..he's ends up singing in the club at the end of the video.

  • this is one of my favorite all time songs! i could listen to him sing ALL DAY

  • He is working as a dj at all the clubs around Stockholm, and he is also working on his new album...it`s about time!!!

  • why is it good singers are hard to discover wow.

  • that's easy: because when they become popular they stop being good =)

  • According to his website, he is still working on his next album. :)

  • Damn what happened to this guy. Me and my friend Joy use to like this album

  • Thanks for this. Does anyone know what Stephen Simmonds is up to these days?

  • this was my shit. ive been lookin for this song for a long time thanks for postin this up. i never knew who sing this song.

  • Han är GRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYM!!!!!!!!!!

  • I've been looking for this video for 6 years!! :0 I can't believe I found it! Thank you for uploading it!

  • Comment removed

  • gosh i dont believe i found this song.... ive been searching for it 4 years... this guy is so talented.... whats up wit him these days??

  • He's still alive.

  • I noticed this video in the summer of 2000.

    I went out to buy the album in 2000 and it is great. To feel his music you should listen to the album. He has symbolic things here.

    Look at the video at 1:08/3:49 and notice the bike is chained up, but the tire is missing!

    I believe he may be talking about the dillema of maybe marrying this girl and keeping his music career alive.

    So maybe the girl represents something in his life?

  • I don't know very well.

    This song can have many meanings.

  • After all these years...it's the first time i've noticed the bike.

  • This song and man went unnoticed when he debuted... He is great and so is his music

  • this man is bajare

  • i hope someone puts up his song "4u"

  • This is still a hott song.....he was really under rated ! ! !

  • cant find the album :(. where i have to search for? thx

  • Comment removed

  • Hey do u have the album share pleasee is so rare to find it!!1

  • ye ur lucky cuz i dnt want it no more its number 1 on da track

  • love this guy so glad I found the videos on youtube...We need to hear more from him... I loooove this album so many memories!!!!

  • MEMORIES

  • yea, i love spirit tales too... this must be ground isn't bad either, but i haven't heard much from it.

  • I love Stephen Simmonds! I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. The album Spirit Tales is absolutely awesome. Sadly he doesn't receive nearly enough credit.

  • Funny story, sang this song in a talent show, and no one had heard it before.

  • I love this song, I have been researching for it for years. thanks

  • Me 2

  • he is so underrated

  • this guy is awesome. i remember him. his song alone on this album was phenomenal

    i love him and i wish to hear from him again

  • Ya this song was excellent. He had a really good voice its sad that these ppl with great talent make one great song and never heard from again. I really would like to see him come back though, but even if he did it would be kinda hard because its only a hand full who knows who he is. I'd buy his slbum though lol!!!!!!

  • I'm sorry, but what does he mean by the lyrics "I can't help the way I feel; I can't give what I don't have; Anything you want me to do I will; but I can't do that."? What is it that he can't do?

  • Sounds like a moment of Honesty and Clarity, in which he's expressing his hesitance/reluctance to fully committ emotionally. When one's been severely disenchanted in response to showing their vulnerability, it can cause a 'Too Good to Be True' paranoia that tends to sabotauge the next prospect, no matter how sincere the presentation may appear. Trust issues do that to one.

  • Thanks

  • OOOH I loved this song when it first came out!

  • I love this joint!!!!

  • Hi, can anyone upload his video "Get Down" please? I can't find it anywhere on the net. I loved that song & the video too.

  • I love this song now...When it first came out, I was like 'This is whack" by now, I love it!

  • I miss him in the states!

  • The States aren't in a sufficient 'State' of readiness for the Real. Turn on your local television channel depicting 'trendy music'. This sort of honesty and raw vulnerability would annihalate the trend of 'drama, drama, and MORE drama'---which sells right along with sex, drugs, and scandal. The whole world would change if individuals in Coupledom were to REALLY be real with each other, and the Bubble Gum which sells like Hotcakes would be out of business.

  • Dalyfrans can you pliz pliz upload "she gets down" by Stephen Simmonds if you do have. I haven't heard that track in ages.

  • It's kinda unfair this artist is not famous enough considering how talented he is. Great voice, good music !

    Please keep on singing for us.

  • CLASSICCCCC

  • He is beautiful...and this song is the best.

  • i WAS ON THIS DUDE WHEN HE CAME OUT...THE TOP OF THE TOP.

    GET BOTH ALBUMS.

    UNBELIEVABLE SONGWRITER

  • can anybody upload the video of "louder"? THANKS

  • This song brings back memories

  • Absolutely in love with this song ! Made my night watching it

  • I love how he play games with the rythm... He's smart in music and lyrics and got an increadilble feeling!!!

  • he's got a nice voice too.
