Same here. Im 35 and everytime i hear this song or watch Love Jones and the beginning starts with this song, i get this amazing nostalgic feeling that makes me feel good but sometimes hurts because those times are not coming back (and you realize time flies so fast sometimes).
I know. Every time I hear this soundtrack or other songs that remind of the time I want to cry. I can't put my finger on it, but it's like missing an old lover that you will never see again. It just hurts.
agreee it was oka...to me i loved tha movie love jones.....i was in h.s too than in tha 90's but i appreciate this deep song now by dionne ...she look 's tha same betta wit nice cut shaved all around her head and all at tha top is up wit curl's lil blonde brown and red 💄💋on afbb perform this iconic 90's song she like a beautiful woman in these 2000's toda 20+year's lata
Same. This is one of many songs. It's a natural progression of taste I guess. Same thing with food. There's food that I hated as a kid, but over time as one matures the senses mature too. You discover a new appreciation for sound, taste and smell.
I am a middle age white male who is a radio announcer, producer engineer, musicologist etc... Out of all the music that came out in the 90's it is my opinion that Dionne Farris' major hit is a timeless, classic, all out blitz of what I consider "The perfect song" That goes for the band on that track as well. That song has it all going on. Dionnes powerful fluid voice going in and out of different vocal patterns over dubbing it at points.The band is in the jam throwing in tight twists and turns that keep you in the "ROCK". The guitar player rippn' it up, changn' it up, fast as a hurricane, stop on a dime, then back in the rythym. Yup folks, this is as good as it gets. Why nothing grammy signifigant since? I don't know. But I do know that record companies do choose the winners and loosers many times. Unfair but true. Nothing not good enough comes from Dionne! It' only the best, timeless and classic. Maybe that's not been "IN" to record companies all these years. Maybe Dionne has to strip naked on stage, worship satan or be caught up in scandal. Dionne is pure beautiful music, and the public has been robbed of it. I've always hoped that she has been able to successfully work and live in music despite the lack of hits.
Such a beautiful comment! Even though you wrote this years ago, I am 59 and I remember Ms. Dionne, and how beautiful her music and her voice made me feel inside whenever I listened to her. It's now 2020 and I just felt an overwhelming desire to hear her again. 11th Hour is the story of my life! I too wish she had had more limelight. But I am glad to be able to pull her up on my computer,and simply drift.....💖
My mom loved this song. Momma I miss you so much. Your grandchildren didn't get to know the beautiful, strong woman who loved without fault. I hope your proud of me momma.
My mom played this song all the time and I thought "this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard". Now I'm 25 and I had to track it down on youtube and I have a completely new appreciation for it.
I wish I was an adult in the 90s, but I’ll settle for being the kid that I was. Such a wonderful era for music. Everything about the 90s is so nostalgic. This song takes me back to better times.
This song takes me back to the 90s it just puts you in that moment, the feeling is Fabolous, Comforting, Happiness Nostalgic, her voice is Very Touching
Y’all me and husband listen to this everyday when I’m dropping him off to work, we just fall silent and start shaking our heads to the song. I love her for making this beauty, it makes my spirit feel good.
Magnificent song...I'm inspired...they said I was HOPELESS.....coming from Jamaica 🇯🇲.......proved them wrong, didn't i?....still listening in March 2023
When Love Jones cane on yesterday, I heard this song and was taken waayy back. We need artists like her again. Well scratch that, we got em but they gets no props. But this song was everything, along with others....timeless! Couldn't see myself singing Partition 20 Yrs From now. Ijs!!
Man this song gives me so many memories being raised by a 16 yr old single mom. She would always play this album.. I didn’t understand shit about what they were saying, but I would love hearing these songs on my way to preschool.
Robin Ryan Why did you call him that? There's a guy playing an instrument in the background who looks like Randy Jackson and might well be him. So calm down and stop insulting people for no reason.
The industry slept on her... she is an excellent singer...and this song in particular should of won all kinds of awards and recognition.. she is an beautiful person.
Her voice gives me chills! This song always makes my heart happy! I truly needed to hear this today 💛 The 90s were a phenomenal time! Wish I could go back in time!!
Man, I can’t believe that I never put a face to this amazing song. I had no idea that the amazing voice from Arrested Development was the same one that performed this work of art.❤❤❤
Its quite rare to hear instant classic songs today...most of the classics are out of the old days of r&b and hip-hop, however this song is an exception..it will be one of those classics for all times!
I have so many warm memories listening to this song...singing in the car... listening to it in a courtyard of a cafe...as it started to rain. :) such a great song
Love jones....memories they can make you drop to your knees.,while asking yourself 1000 questions of yourself.....when, how and why....memories some so long ago and some just yesterday....LIFE
Thanks for posting. I was introduced to music like this and artists like Dionne by WEAA, Morgan State University radio, 88.9 FM, Baltimore, MD. I grew up there, and even though I don't fit Morgan's demographic ( they are a predominantly black college ), I am forever grateful for Morgan expanding my musical vocabulary. Ahmad Jamal, Vanessa Rubin, Regina Carter, Oscar Brown Jr, and work from Al Jarreau's early years. I miss Morgan and working / commuting in Baltimore....that whole 1990s time when Mom was alive, and I was a young man who was happy- and didn't know I was. Thank you again.
Song reminds me of the summer of my junior year going into my senior year of high school. 1997 unfortunately the same year my grandmother Elizabeth Nelson died😭. I'll never get over her death
As much as nostalgia hurts it heals as well. I feel that hurt, is a reminder to go and create more wonder, more delight and more beauty. The kind that is timeless.
Love Jones was my best friend’s and my favorite movie years ago. Naturally this song resonated with us; love, breakup and still unbreakable friendship. When she passed away in 2020 at 36 year old, I played this song driving to her burial site and cried tears of pain and fun memories, thank you for what this song became to us through our many journeys. Thank you for the peace it brings me now.
Thank you, Ms. Farris, for giving us such a wonderful voice to listen to on the radio during our 90s childhood. Again, thank you, my good sister. With much respect and love.
I had forgotten about this song until I was walking in home Depot earlier today and hear the first few notes and it all came back lol great song.. Randy Jackson I see you DAWG lol
She should have won a Grammy for this!
And Oscar too
This artistry is beyond those accolades.
90s 🎶 got me so emotional right now
She didn't??? Oh wow 🤬🤬
Hell yeah!!!
Anyone with a time machine. Take me back to the sweet 90's. Lovely jam
I miss the 90's so much. Nostalgia really does hurt sometimes.

PR Frequency I'm 35 as well and wow you just described how songs and movies from the past make me feel as well. It's such a bittersweet feeling.
I know. Every time I hear this soundtrack or other songs that remind of the time I want to cry. I can't put my finger on it, but it's like missing an old lover that you will never see again. It just hurts.
blkazn77 I totally feel you on that love..It's a very bittersweet feeling for sure...
blkazn77
what great description. I feel that same exact way. We'll never see those days again but we have great memories. 💔
This song is timeless... the power of words and music!
Van Hunt has written and recorded many timeless, poetic songs.
I AM A PROFESSIONAL DJ AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE LOVE JONES SOUNDTRACK IS ONE OF MY TOP 5 SOUNDTRACKS OF ALL TIME!!
The boomerang sound track is🔥 also
Don't forget Waiting to Exhale
Set it off? Soul food?
I didn't appreciate this song back then, cause I was 15, but at 37 I understand!!!!

I was JUST thinking that and that’s why I had to find the song and listen! I didn’t know squat as a kid
Same!

The fact that Mr. Shakur said, Mr. Shakur himself said that Dionne Farris got him through some days that says and means a lot

iconic song. should bring chill bumps to your skin if you totally get it. the movie, the time, the beauty of black life and culture in the 90's
Saw Dionne Farris perform in Cleveland this past Friday! She was great! Beautiful and powerful performance.
Definitely a high point of Gen X’s musical contributions.
