I love how back in the day, music depicted everyday moments in life as beautiful and elevated. Walking down the block, saying hi to your friends, regular people going about their lives. Its always the little things.
I remember being 13 and my uncle in Philly mailed me Who Is Jill Scott, Aijuswannasing by Music Soulchild & Mary Mary's first album. These albums literally changed my life and deepened my love of music ✨😌🎶
I told my old coworker I was gone smoke & take a walk. He said “oh you gonna go get your Jill Scott on😂” I looked so confused at first then I remembered. Now I listen to this song everyday nonstop. Miss ya Kenneth
When this album dropped I was 23 and had just gotten my first apartment in Brooklyn. This album was the soundtrack for my life back then. What a time. Bring back Neo Soul...🫶🏽
This makes me smile every time I hear this. The Essence of great music, I want to feel like this again. 23 years later and it still feels refreshing!! I'm now 42 and this came out when I was 19.
Jill Scott is a great singer, actress, and she's now the author of her own book. I like this great song and video A Long Walk. Jill Scott is beautiful, sweet as a dove, full of life with a great future ahead of her. She's a great role model and she's an inspiration to us all. 😊
What I love most about this was, music was depicting everyday moments in life as beautiful and elevated. Enjoying all of the people around you, walking down your block, saying hi to all of your friends and regular people going about their lives. Everything about this was so beautiful and innocent. It’s the little things we took for granted.
Lord, I just had a time machine moment feeling like I am back 2000-2001 listening to this. I always hum to this when I take walks for years. Thank you for this right now.
this song is so nostalgic to me and i literally just discovered it today.... i love this music video and i love how it's a walk through the hood, something im familiar with. reminds me of when my mom used to take me to the local park. i love black music and neo soul
Ur style, ur smile. Ur Peace mentality.❤ I'm 36 & Lord I miss these type of people..,. Along with peace. music is therapy. Plz bring back this type of music.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢
Try some new neo soul , but nothing is quite like the original. Im sure you’ve heard of Cleo Sol, Ledisi, S.I.R, they’re good. I’m just listening to this Jill Scott in full now. This album came out when I was maybe 7 years old and it takes me back to some good old days and I’m about to be 33. Time flies lol.
I've got good memories of riding around New Orleans with my mama bumping this song Jill Scott is one of the biggest reason I fell in love with neo soul music
I remember when I would always be getting ready to go to school in the early 2000’s and this song would come on t.v I would pause everything and watch the video. It speaks so much soul to my soul I love this type is soul food. As a collective we all deserve to hear this song in 2023. I’m 34 now I still have soul in me. bless all I love you all

The Queen first album I got hook to every track is a masterpiece. I stole this album from my brother 2004 and I still have it. My brother past off 2011 rip big bro
I so like this song, it's so soothing to the soul...everytime I hear it, brings so much inspiration and fond memories of takin that long walk in the park, with that special dude after dark...😂 U Go Jill!!❤

After all these years, Still, an amazing song to kick back and listen to ❤
Cool to see Jazzy Jeff in this vid.
In my opinion, Jill Scott is the best modern day poet. She is an amazing singer and actress as well.
Agree, she's great!
❤love her vibe .
She reminds me of Nikki Giovanni one of my many favorite poets. And her musical style definitely reminds me of legendary Nina Simone.
I secondl that!!!
Check out tank and the Bangas

Jill Scott went from performance poet to prolific and gifted singer, songtress. I love her music. 🎶 ♥ 🎹 🎤
Listening to Jill Scott is very therapeutic. Them Neo-Soul vibez hit different 💯
‘Or maybe we could just be silent’ ❤
When you’re so comfortable with someone that no words are needed. Beautiful

Music to my ears
Right same feeling
Yes very 2000-2001 feel that era was very jazzy and simple that era will be missed classic song tho
That era was gold
This is a classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥 WE LOVE YOU JILL
Remember seeing this on MTV in 2000, one of the best songs of the decade in my opinion.
this song is so nostalgic to me and i literally just discovered it today.... i love this music video and i love how it's a walk through the hood, something im familiar with. reminds me of when my mom used to take me to the local park. i love black music and neo soul
I love this song by one of my favorite singers Jill Scott!
Love this song and video. Wow, did this album play over and over in my home!
Stunning and beautiful!!!!
Ur style, ur smile. Ur Peace mentality.❤
I'm 36 & Lord I miss these type of people..,. Along with peace. music is therapy. Plz bring back this type of music.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢
Takes me back to senior year of high school. I played Jill Scott’s cd every morning getting ready for school. I wish music was still like this
Try some new neo soul , but nothing is quite like the original. Im sure you’ve heard of Cleo Sol, Ledisi, S.I.R, they’re good. I’m just listening to this Jill Scott in full now. This album came out when I was maybe 7 years old and it takes me back to some good old days and I’m about to be 33. Time flies lol.
I have been in love with Jill Scotts smile ever since I first saw this video. Her spirit is so radiant. And she is a wonderful actress as well!

Verse 1]
You're here, I'm pleased, I really dig your company
Your style, your smile, your peace mentality
Lord, have mercy on me, I was blind, now I can see
What a king's supposed to be; baby, I feel free
Come on and go with me
[Refrain]
Let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation
Share our situation, temptation, education, relaxation
Elevation, maybe we can talk about Surah 31:18
Seems like you can relate to Jill's lyrics 😊
Awesome, just love Jill Scott's music so much❤
They don't make music like this anymore 😭🤌🏾 Here in 2024

Your background it ain't squeaky clean (shit)
Sometimes we all got to swim upstream
You ain't no saint, we all are sinners
But you put your good foot down and make your soul a winner
I respect that, man you're so phat
And you're all that, plus supreme
Then you're humble man I'm numb
Yo with feeling, I can feel everything that you bring
Let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation
Share our situations, temptations, education, relaxations
Elevations, maybe we can talk about Revelation 3:17
Or maybe we can see a movie
Or maybe we can see a play on Saturday (Saturday)
Or maybe we can roll a tree and feel the breeze and listen to a symphony
Or maybe chill and just be, or maybe
Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots or maybe eat some passion fruit
Or maybe cry to the blues
Or maybe we could just be silent
Come on, Come on
Let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
