There is a common thread in Luther's best songs.....loneliness, secrets, a yearning to be loved and to love. Did I get that right? He is one of the greatest singer with a unique voice. Incredible singer.
@@shellyannpace9421 I don't care about him being gay. I was just giving context to emotions that are conveyed in his songs. That is probably where those emotions generate from.
The two women holding hands at the end, Luther was out here leaving breadcrumbs. You can tell by the depth of familiar pain in his voice accompanying the lyrics. I really wish he coulve lived his life out loud the way he deserved, he was such a prcious wonderful human being. Love you always Luther baby.❤
That's because Luther Vandross was gay and couldn't come out because his career was geared to singing love songs to women. The saddest part when he took his stroke he asked the to "Call my Mam." Because he couldn't have it leaking.
When love is held in secrecy, it becomes a captive within the heart, yearning for its eventual release. And when that moment of liberation arrives, its magnetic pull draws two souls together in an entanglement of affection, binding them with an unbreakable cord of intimacy. The heart, once caged, now beats with newfound freedom and passion, as love's sweet melody echoes throughout the chambers of the soul.
This makes me sad to listen to as it means so much to me. It makes me sadder that he isnt still with us and the diamonds he left us will be the only ones we will have.
@@HellcatMadI agree. If u really strip it all down, all Mr. Vandross owed his fans was his talent. I don’t give a damn where his head was in his personal life. Thats not our business. On another note, i think this song is my favorite out of his hits.
I have seeing luther perform into Jamaica let me tell you he is not just a singer but a true performer he know when to move the crowd and when to keep the crowd still and a next time having the crowd eating out of his hand his performance will live whit me for the rest of my life
Hey ...am still playing this lovely song up till date..just wanna make me feel emotional again..am watching from US,...tell me were are you watching from....?????
If God's Son was sent to show us the way and the light. In Luther he sent his voice to envelope our very souls. What is God given in turn God receives. I just wish 'o wish he would have spared him longer in this life. If I ever make it there, my wish for all eternity is to simply sit and listen to the ends of time. RIP The Voice Divine.🙏🎙🙏
Milton Carthens let’s not forget Luther was singing background vocals on Stevie wonders Part Time Lover though, which is the ultimate side piece song🤔🤔😂😂😂
Darryl Wright Oh I hope there is. I really do. I need to hear another voice and lyrics like this in my lifetime. I didn’t enjoy LV while I was young and when I finally did and wanted to see him Live, he died soon after! 😭
I was going to write this exact thing then I just couldn't distract myself from fully immersing myself in the feelings right there. Amazing singer this one❤❤
A kiss in the dark A certain time I can call you A letter of love But no name did you sign Pretending to all That we were just friends when I saw you I didn't know that you wanted me to be I didn't know that you wanted me for your (You wanted me) To be Your secret love Why can't we tell somebody 'Cause secret loves Never last as long Your secret love Will never be your true love I can't be no secret baby It's breakin' my heart (heart, heart) You should've let me know from the first time baby That you were not, were not free to love How could you wait so long Oh, what a waste of love, baby I should've known that you wanted me to be I should've known That you wanted me for your (You wanted me) To be Your secret love Why can't we tell somebody 'Cause secret loves Never mean as much Your secret love Will never be your true love I can't be no secret baby It's breakin' my heart (heart, heart) I won't be you secret love 'Cause it's just a waste of my love I'm tellin' you from the start I won't be the one who gives you love When your other guy ain't givin' you none Don't come now, wait for a while Let's meet at the place downtown It's a shame it has to be like this But I really miss you baby Your secret love Why can't we tell somebody 'Cause secret loves Never last as long Your secret love Will never be your true love I can't be your secret baby You're breakin' my heart My heart Your secret love Why can't we tell somebody 'Cause secret loves Never last as long Your secret love Will never be your true love I can't be your secret baby
If you only good enough to be someone's secret, then they are not worthy enough to receive the most sacred part of you . . . . Everyone deserves to be loved purely, naturally and without condition or obligation. Love Is . . . . . . .
It’s sooooo freaking frustrating that NO ONE makes music like this anymore...there’s no music about love. It’s all about turning up, getting high and sex, not love
Im a late 70's guy, this is real music. No violence, real vocals, pure soul with innocence, without any trash talk. A time when guys were gents and women were ladies.
That moment when you've been feeling some type of way for a few months now, and you listen to a song by Luther that sums up everything you've been feeling perfectly.
@@yomiwilliams4368 Absolutely! Luther Vandross is the best and his songs remind us of great memories from the past and keep us ever hopeful for the future. Luther Forever

This guy was awesome. Still good in 2025 wow!
So much truth to this song, still in 2023!!
"Your secret love will never be your true love."
Such a gem.
Verdade
Sometimes love can be supressed due to external and cultural factors beyond your control
I'm listening ,it's now 2024,my 80th bday..25thjan😊
At times it turns to be .u never now.
Your secret love will never be your true love 😢😢

Probably dealing w/ concealing his homosexuality
Well said brother.sa
@@goingyard06 Leave Luther alone about his sexuality. He is still one of the greatest artists to live on this planet.
@@goingyard06 does it even matters.
@@shellyannpace9421 I don't care about him being gay. I was just giving context to emotions that are conveyed in his songs. That is probably where those emotions generate from.
Always and forever Luther❤
My father used to listen to this guy EVERYDAY when I was little. I'm 26 now and listen to him almost everyday. Thanks alot dad🤦🏿♂️🤣🤣

Ima be listening to Luther until i'm six feet under! Big and little Luther!! Know this..
I am here
me me R.I.P 😇
No! he is the GOAT. The Greatest of all times.
This is MUSIC!!!!!!
I'm not a young man by any metric so with that vast music history I will name all the vocalists that were more gifted than Luther :
END OF LIST
Llove his music lm not young but grow up with him
His background singers were so in tune with him. They were outstandingly good!!!
100% agree with you....
Lisa fletcher son
Absolutely 👍
Such a shame they don’t get the recognition they deserve
...Cissy Huston is one of the backup singers in this....he booked her a lot....
One of my favorite songs by Luther. You could actually hear the pain and not so distant frustration in his voice. He told a story with this one.
True !! my dear
That's because Luther Vandross was gay and couldn't come out because his career was geared to singing love songs to women. The saddest part when he took his stroke he asked the to "Call my Mam." Because he couldn't have it leaking.
Or the other way saint Cornell university kismet magnitudes
This song reminds me of a woman I was dating OMG it a hard thing to be never again
I noticed the pain, too. He was suffering from some kind of lost love.
Rest easy Luther Vandross 🖤❤️
… Your secret love will never be your true love
Me....big time
Yeah BUT WE are gonna find out the hard way😭💔
@@blandinevignolles846 same I miss him but ik he's still here in spirit

Meh!!!!!!!😎🙇🙏😍😋😋😙🔥💯
I wonder who is Luther's secret love ❣️?
This takes me back 20 years to 2004. Great year for Music… This was another find for me. 2024 still rocking it!
I'm 24 yrs listening to luther vandross ❤
It's 2024 and the song is still relevant

I think this is my favorite Luther Vandross song
Lady Virgo
Yup, me too!
Same 😪

The riff on 0:12 reminds me of "You make me wanna" by Usher.
He sang this from the heart. He was in the era where he couldn't live his true life openly.
My Dad loved Luther , blessed to have been introduced and raised by the master of soul no one better 🐐 thank you Dad ❤️
One of my favorite songs. This man was a genius
Yep true
Like I said before all the greats are dead and gone and Luther was an icon a legend and one of the best singers that walked this Earth

I'm currently living this. It's invigorating, but exhausting. Luther you saved me twice now.
Still here in 2021 - Timeless classic. So many emotions here.
I miss you Luther Vandross. Such, a beautiful voice.
A kiss in the dark
A certain time I can call you
A letter of love
But no name did you sign
Pretending to all
That we were just friends when I saw you
I didn't know that you wanted me to be
I didn't know that you wanted me for your
(You wanted me) To be
Your secret love
Why can't we tell somebody
'Cause secret loves
Never last as long
Your secret love
Will never be your true love
I can't be no secret baby
It's breakin' my heart (heart, heart)
You should've let me know
from the first time baby
That you were not, were not free to love
How could you wait so long
Oh, what a waste of love, baby
I should've known that you wanted me to be
I should've known
That you wanted me for your
(You wanted me) To be
Your secret love
Why can't we tell somebody
'Cause secret loves
Never mean as much
Your secret love
Will never be your true love
I can't be no secret baby
It's breakin' my heart (heart, heart)
I won't be you secret love
'Cause it's just a waste of my love
I'm tellin' you from the start
I won't be the one who gives you love
When your other guy ain't givin' you none
Don't come now, wait for a while
Let's meet at the place downtown
It's a shame it has to be like this
But I really miss you baby
Your secret love
Why can't we tell somebody
'Cause secret loves
Never last as long
Your secret love
Will never be your true love
I can't be your secret baby
You're breakin' my heart
My heart
Your secret love
Why can't we tell somebody
'Cause secret loves
Never last as long
Your secret love
Will never be your true love
I can't be your secret baby

A secret love means two things; either you’re ashamed of that person or, you shouldn’t be with that person because of prior commitments.
He was closeted at a time when homosexuality wasn’t as accepted.
Or just plain crazy
Or that person is ashamed to let people know they dealing with you in secret
