One of the most underrated artists ever
I been wearing this song out over that last few months. My husband told me I should be tired of playing it. He might be right BUT NOT TONIGHT!!
😁😁😁
Lavonda Jacobs 🤣👏🏽👏🏽
Awesomeness
😂😂😂
I'm tickled
This is my new sober song. Been struggling with alcohol the last 8 years. Have 3 months sober now.
Great Job!!!! Keep it up 👍🏾
e. Jones awww thank you
Congratulations. It’s a hard habit to kick
You still got it
Hope you're still going strong!
Addiction is a powerful enemy 😢😢😢😢
This hits like "Footsteps in the Dark"
Raphael Saadiq has a hidden message in this song. He lost 4 siblings. 1 brother to an overdose and another committed suicide because he couldn't shake the habit and couldn't fight his demons. Sister died in a car acccident and I forget what happened to the other brother. This is one of those rare times in his music career where he released this onto his music. I've been a fan of his for a long time. This is music.
Terrell Lewis you’re right. The other brother was murdered.
Sisters boyfriend killed him
@@sugeandpopsdailyadventures7244 I hope he gets arrested
@@cherrym.rhynes368 Who murdered him?
@@cherrym.rhynes368 I’m so sorry
This whole album isnt given the respect it deserves and the underlying theme of the album is the theme tune to the New Broken AmeriKKKa
He needs a lifetime achievement award for all the classics he has.
Hell 2 the Yes 🎶👌
He sure does
Agreed 10000%!!!!💋💘💞💖😍
Absolutely!!!
Absolutely.. but if he doesn't..🌹🌷🌹🌷🌷⚘🌹because it's well deserved ❤❤
I can identify with this message. My daddy was strung out on that stuff, while I was in elementary and middle school but by the time I hit high school he quit cold turkey. He's been 20+ years clean and I am a very proud daughter, and I may just purchase this for the both of us. Thank you Raph!!
Amen
That is such a blessing!
I love your story. may god keep his arms around yall.
Nurse Rawkii Joy Yes congratulations Dad, my dad did the same, we now attend church together and he ministers to the same ppl he did drugs with and more. He is over outreach ministries now as well. Very proud Daddy’s Girl.
Blessings to you and your family for staying strong!
Can we just give an applause for music that speaks for something? Vocals spot on and the video is visually perfect.
donna broner standing ovation
well spoken
I agree. It's perfection all round.

#DewaybeHutchings Sorry for the loss of your mom and happy too hear she was recovering from her addiction. May our Heavenly Father provide you with comfort during the days ahead. I wish you peace. It's funny how music comes the right time, which can be a source of healing.
I hope my mom will quit. Over 25 years of drug and alcohol abuse. That’s great your mom had quit, before she descended.

Well said this is exactly what I felt watching the video and listening to the lyrics.
I cried
Me too💛
You might be right, I’ll listen tonight.
Loving it, that 🎸 sounding like Isley Bros. Raphael always soulful.
Right!
It's beautiful

I thought it was unreleased Prince
Footsteps in the dark Right?
This song has at least one line identifying everyone's struggle.
Lost my mom when this song dropped
Tika, sorry for your loss. Stay strong!
@@tikapatterson502 hugs
@@tikapatterson502 My the comfort of from our Heavenly Father give you strength. I wish you peace.
absolute Genius. Raphael Saadiq is one of my favorite musicians and artists. Thank you Raphael for your great contribution to music and culture. I came up in the projects and saw so many fiends. I am guilty of even serving them. But I changed my whole life around years ago. But seeing friends, and family and fiends in the hood, etc. this resonates heavy.. I can also relate on a personal level (not dealing with addiction). The feeling of desperation, of lost hope, with a heavy heavy burden that only you can feel... too deep.. ABSOLUTE GENIUS!
Praying for everyone, hope you're all okay. Fighting or recovering from any addiction or vice.....got some tough times right now, quit smoking and cut down on the alcohol. Love y'all, you can do it !
My mom was a victim of drugs and domestic violence even though she was going through the storm she loved her kids and took great care of us. We had a lot of dark days in our family but the good times we're so priceless. I hold those Joyous moments in my heart everyday. I love you so much Mom with all of my heart rest in heaven🙏❤
MAY YOUR MOM SAIL ON ACROSS THE SKY. I KNIOW YOU MISS HER, BUT YOU HAVE A LOVELY ANGEL LOOKING OVER YOU FOREVER.
❤🤍🩶🖤🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🪽🪽🪽🪽
OMG once I found out he wrote this song and the album for his brother I almost cried love this man's work since day 1 glad u back brother😎
Which brother? What happened
@@biancalewis6481 his brother Jimmie lee was on drugs
Wow. Omg I didn't know that. That's sad.
Heard this on the radio for the first time. A lot of the times, I don't feel like my universe is talking to me. But this song came on and i just had to find out what it was. So here I am, Does anyone else have a strong attatchment to this song?
You're not alone I feel the same
Yep. 2 years later and I’m still listening 💯🔥
definitely have an emotional attachment to this smooth joint. hope you are doing well. ;)
This song is for me. I’m a daughter of drug addicts and alcoholics. I didn’t realize how badly my parents’ addictions harmed me until now. I’m on a new journey towards healing. I too need to recover from their illness.
Steadfast! @P J
You can do it, im 3months sober no drinkin, and it was hard but believe me when i tell you you can do it and you will fill powerful and more fortune will come you
Nothing but love light peace and blessings as you go through your journey towards healing
@@codyco9992 blessings to you💗
@@lovespell4425 thank you
Saw Raphael in concert last night in Austin, Texas. I was in the front row and enjoying every minute of him it. One brief moment I closed my eyes and thought I was in the 80's. I hadn't been to a concert in many years so it was a complete thrill to see one of my favorite artist giving every bit of his being to deliver songs there were introspective reflections on experiences of his older brother who struggled with drug addiction. So many loyal Gen X'ers & Boomers showed up along with a new generation of fans. It was a great mix of chocolate in a vanilla city. The musicians were tight. The bass player looked like he dropped off from time capsule from a 60's Led Zeppelin concert. That man was funky. The guitarist was amazing in his own rite, kind of throwing off the Dez Dickerson vibes (from the very first Prince band). The drummer held it together as Raphael switched from singing and strumming his cool looking Telecaster. It was R&B synergy-and worth every dime of it -including sweating in that Texas heat. Oh baby you had to be a die heart to endure that kind of heat. Cheers to Raphael Saadiq, I feel a Grammy coming.
I hear you miss. I was also at the Austin show and he brought that place to it's knees!
Cara Harpole wow. What a great review. Thanks. I'll be sure to see him here in Chicago in Feb. Have ALWAYS rocked with him ; so dope!
Thanks for the review. I am going to see him in Norfolk, VA now that you gave a deep evaluation of experiencing his concert. Thanks again.
Im in love with this song. This man is a musical genius!! 😍😍
-musical- Genius.
@candice z, you have to pick ONE! Tony Toni Tone or Mint Condition?
@@lcoleman6046 thats unfair one cant pick between the two lol.
@@Candice144 Lol! No one can.
candice z FACTS🖤🖤🖤🖤
My Dad suffered from Drug addiction my early childhood. He relapsed twice before he made the choice to leave drugs for good by the time I was 13 and we are now 35 and 70. I never gave up on my Father because through it all, he was still an amazing Dad to me. This is our Song ❤️
Let’s give this man his flowers while he can still smell them. 🌹❤️ This sound like some old school Tony! Toni! Toné & I’m here for it.👌🏾😌
Am I the only one who hears traces of "Footsteps in the Dark" by the Isley Bros.? (Later became the hook for Ice Cube's "It Was A Good Day")
No you're not👍🏾👂🏾
Absolutely!!! Nothing is “new” under the Son! ❤️
I know im not tripping. But. I believe thats. Ernie. Isley. On. Guitar
I also hear Allyiah's "you are loved"
Yea it's sampled from the Isley Brothers song
Love this song and the video is perfect.Shout to anyone battling an addiction, prayers for better days. 🙏🏾
You are so right. Your message just probably touched many people that needed to hear this. 🙏
Amen 🙏❤
Amen sis
Thank you🙋♀️ Appreciate it greatly....🙏
Saddiq must of realized the need for that 90s-2000s rnb sound to be revived. The rnb music community has been on life support for a while now. Thanks for bringing us back.
Are we making a 90s comeback? I support the 90s movement back to the mainstream.
Thank you Rapheal for saying something.
So BLESSED to have experienced Raphael Saadiq over these decades. Since my middle school years to now my 40s....❤❤❤❤❤ this is a bop!
Raphael Saadiq is the truth. So talented.
One of our great R&B artists from back in the day. Bring us back to once upon a time.
Song of the year for me ..Hands down..
Song is so sad, especially knowing what inspired it, but I love it.
My grandfather been on drugs my entire life and I don’t talk to him at all. But after listening to this song over and over and over again I started to empathize with my grandad struggle. I think I’m gonna visit him when I go home for the holidays this year b4 it’s to late.
DONY WAIT FOR A HOLIDAY... GO ASAP... LIFE IS TOO SHORT FRFR.
Early recovery I was given a cassette with his group and I wore it out...it gave the feels back then...29 years off the shit.
This song reminds me of my mother and father. Both were heavy drug addicts and alcoholics. I am just starting to heal from 30 plus years of that life. I had to cut my entire family off because it was so toxic. This song makes me cry if, my mom was alive I am sure this would be her message. Thank you for this!
I am a 60 year old music lover. This song turns me out. I thank young artist for inspiring grown folk music lovers like me. Great song.
Something keeps calling ME...I can't get enough of Raphael!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My brother struggled for 20 years and this resonates with me, he passed in 2017 because it just would not let him go.
I'm so in love with this song. I have a family member who has been struggling with this devil since HIGH SCHOOL.....
And what's also sad, I'm in love with a alcoholic who I wished I could get him to slow down. Because we only have one chance in life and that's to get it right. 🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢
5 people who don't recognize great music... how could anyone dislike?
510 people who don't know what good music sounds like...
Heavy. I can feel your heart in it, gives me chills. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Those demons have affected many families....perfect message...
Just lost my brother Jimmy H.
He was in recovery for over year.
However he succumbed to liver cancer from years of using .
I encourage people to seek help from all addictions .
Love this song and thank you Raphael for using your platform to help others.
RIP to brother, I'm so sorry. Much love
I realized that addicts are not lost they just know that love is missing or being distorted and it causes them to go mad with grief. While the rest of us are still not being authentic with the divine. One psychological “ said that when he interviews an addict the first feeling they got when they tried heroin” they said it felt like a mothers embrace.
I'm a 41 year old, half mexican half irish american... This is man has talent on loan from God!!!
Raphael Saadiq always did wear his influences on his sleeve. This is the Isley Brothers through and through. Great track.
What's crazy is that he actually produced the dopest tracks on the last Isley Brothers album. ruclips.net/video/Mzo16qzxfSc/видео.html.
This song is about life it's for everyone because we all r addicted to something the verses r so well put together the beats grab a hold to your soul good song I love it
My nursery rhyme, when I still consumed milk. A Blessing from a future brother.
Rest in Power Jimmy Lee.
What we All need soulful music. Can't wait for more. Love this.
This song speaks volumes...Raphael is such a soulful genius...this song is timeless.
Jimmy Lee is free now.
Rob Bacon's riff is reminiscent of Jimi Hendrixx....saadiq is pure genius...
This is such a touching song for everyone going through this 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 even my family and friends
Timeless, authentic, soulful, beautiful, and sexy. Saadiq you can do no wrong.
I have been listening to this album all morning and still listening to it. But this video hit me real hard and I began to cry for everyone suffering from addiction and loving those that do. 🙏🏾❤️
This concert in Norfolk in February if Gods willing I won’t miss, I’m 81 yrs young but I was born in the music business into a family in the music industry over 100 yrs. I’m a real fan of this young man. He’s one of my favorite as I also love Devante DeAngelo the list goes on, I must state Marvin, lol. A few of the geniuses of music
Praying for anyone who is or have a loved one struggling with addiction
This song goes out to my mom God rest yo soul baby I love an miss u
So sorry for your LOST
Hold firm and keep her spirit alive,it resides in you...stay strong!
momony Reyes Rest in peace to your baby 🙏😢💯
I just lost my granddaughter to street violence,drug abuse and undiagnosed depression!! 21 years young,1 10 month old son and her life is Gone Forever! Something Keeps Calling Us All. Listen up and Pay Attention!
Sorry... May she sail on across the sky....
Sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.
Dayum we more music like this now more than ever we need the real . not that cookie cutter processed junk they force feed us on the radio. Thank you saadiq.True artist making you feel it.

This is one that stays with you , I find myself humming and singing it all during the day, thanks God I had a niece who was addicted,but something almost killed her got her off drug , she was raped throat cut left like trash on the city dump, left with brain damage, we were told she would make it but God blessed us, she’s Fine after being hospitalized for over a year, she’s now living on her own in an assistant living apt. Cooks cleans does everything for herself. Don’t count them out pray and love changes any and everything. Thanks to Raphael for making the world to know it’s a sickness try to help before it’s to late, only by the grace of God it could be you. Stay focused, don’t try it , once could change your life forever.
OMG..I can’t get this son out of my head. Love it and he is a musical genius!
I clicked so fast almost broke my damn nail lol I love it finally thank u Saadiq.

The guitarist needs a kiss 😘
I cannot stop playing this song, I heard it in someone else's car goin by when I was NC looked it up and it been in repeat every since. I love anything Raphael Saadiq makes anyway, he always been so talented
My husband is addicted to crack smh I've lost so much dealing with him.... he's been trying to fight this addiction for years I guess it keeps calling him!!... I dont recommend no one staying with someone that's addicted to drugs... they not going to stop until they are ready NO MATTER what you do for them!!
U are so RIGHT I was with my husband 25 yrs and he became an alcoholic. The last 2 yrs was horrible the chaos and fighting. We're no LONGER together but I can tell u I lost myself trying to help him find himself.
I know the feeling
I feel you....
Hold on my home girl was addicted for years her man stuck it out and everything lovely now. Big house pool etc
Yes! An addict has to wanna stop
I saw him perform this on 2/14/2020 in Manhattan and I waited years for him to come to New York. He performed this song and it was exactly what was going on in my family, I lost my brother the same way 6/3/20 and I thank Ralph for always making such relatable music that helps us through those times💕💕💕💕
I want to say thank you for all the great music throughout my life. I’m 53yrs old and for the passed 30+ yrs I’ve been a fan but this is probably the one jam that stays with me forever. I feel like this song saved my life. Thank you for helping me turn my life around. Thanks brother for a second chance at a real life.
The Master is back!!Salute from Mozambique
Nice to knw someone on my backyard loves such speacial music......i lv this dude back then frm ask of u...frm tz
