Lyrics:
Faraway from that life so young
that's when you used to know
Many dreams since then you've had,
have come and gone that might show
But stress don't you let it
Don't you forget,
trust you'll find your way to love
hope is what your heart is made of
And don't you forget it
don't you forget your way home
For that little girl
Hold on to your world
you're worlds apart
From first where life would start
understanding what it means to have got
nothing but your heavy broken heart
the memory of what used to be
with change comes responsibility

You can hear Stevie Wonder’s influence all throughout this song. I love it so much
Yes!
Facts🥰
I remember he was on the Today show and that YT lady introduced him I thought she was going to jump his bones right there. All she could talk about was how handsome he was and how beautiful smile he had. I was like lady can you please let this man sing?
I was telling people this for years about that element. The cadence of Stevie is infused and lyrical arrangement. Glenn Lewis 1st album is a Neo Soul classic and must have.
@@TheSolution4Kickz Yes but we can talk about how fine he is though? Can we please do that?
Glad to see a lot of 2024s here. Keep great music alive. ❤
Of course sister.......

Still a jam....

This is classic.
@@martinsnwadigo4344 you van say that again
Im a sucker for Neo -Soul music❤
It's amazing isn't it ?
YES...
Can you recommend me some neo-soul artists - I'm new to the genre and love it
@@freerights6695 fkj,sade,musiq,d angelo,,rafael saadiqq just a taste thank me later!!
Amen i thought it was just me.
This was the Neo-Soul era of the late 90s-early 2000’s. Glen Lewis, Dwele, and others. So smooth and melodic. And the love songs had a deeper meaning. Loved this type of music and shame that these artists didn’t get more shine. You can listen to this 20 years later and it still sounds fresh and better than anything they play on the radio today. Growing up being able to experience the music of the late 80’s-early 2000’s was a gift from God. They don’t make music like they used to back then.
Can't forget Maxwell too
@@yellowbill Yup. Maxwell was great!
Gordan Chambers, Donnie, Omar, Musiq Soulchild Valvin, Raheem Davughn, Eric Roberson. So many more.
They dont
But it didn’t get the credit that it deserved when it dropped. Too busy ” in da club,” etc
Here in 2024. I was just a little girl when this song came out but now in my 20’s I need this song more than ever. ❤
I'm now 28 😂😂😂 my mom played this song religiously
Those tears in her eyes at the end always gets me ❤
@@stoneyhighhigh3677Do you all know the model's name in the video? I've been trying to.do light research to see what she is currently doing. I stopped seeing her & thought she had so much potential.
The models name is Kent Masters King she was an actress/model at the time and when she was younger @ThatGirl551
@@robb_rose What got me that they both was hurt he put his sunglasses on to hide the tears
I never realized how much I grew up taking this kind of musical art for granted. I truly miss the late 90's/early 2000's sound and feel so much.
Absolutely 💯
Completely agree ..just heard this song ata bar and totally forgot about it. I had to look it up youtube and play it in my ride . This is when artists sang from the soul and th lyrics were impactful
There were a lot of really good RnB artists and songs during the 90's and early 2k's. I think autotune came along and a lot of less gifted singers over used it. It was hot for a while, but when it faded it exposed the not so talented. By then guys like Glenn, Musiq and others got older and RnB was less popular to the younger generation. If you're as old as me (48) 70's and 80's kids grew up on RnB and made 90's and early 2k's RnB. We heard RnB in the clubs in that era. Kids these days aren't hearing that now in clubs. There used to be a wide range of black music on your favorite radio station then. Now it's mainly all hip hop. A genre I also grew up on but I appreciated both. I got a little long winded but that's only my opinion. I was young, in the air force, in Georgia 93-2000. It was a beautiful time to be in and see Atlanta becoming what it is. I got to this song through Jimmy Cozier She's all I Got mix. Great RnB RUclips mix.
I definitely agree
Girl YOU & ME both! ❤❤
Who’s still listening in 2019!!! Good music never gets old!!!
Yesss
Right here... bought this album when it came out in Spring of 2002... every song on that album is a classic
Yep! This never gets old
REAL MUSIC LIVES FOREVER!!!!!!!!
OMG classic! I can't stop coming back to it.
This song goes to all the young women, especially nowadays.Never forget your way home, no matter what you've done. There's always someone who loves you. Especially God
❤
This made tears come to my eyes. Having some hard times with my parents, I miss them nonetheless and hope that we can make things right.

Same

Yesss
The soul awakening period (1999-2007) was one hell of an era man.
Facts! The world heard great soul music on a mainstream level. No 808s no autotune.
Tell em bro 👊
@Indigogoddess1111 Stevens The TR808 is a drum machine with a very distinct sound often associated with Southern Hip-Hop.
@Indigogoddess1111 Stevens No problem. ❤
@@b.b.1989 THIS type of Era was called Neo-Soul & R&B. You can make one hit and be great. It was like during that time they just wanted to be heard. It was like poetry. I would do anything for this type of music to come back. The only one we have left is NEYO!!!
The Melody, The Harmonies, The Lyrics!!!! He was channeling Stevie with this joint.
I remember playing this in the car and my moms saying, "don't think I've ever heard this Stevie song before." Yeah... thought the same think when I first heard it.
the encouragement a man gives to woman... I miss songs like these....

@@@@
Been saying this for over a decade
Mikeal Laws is rebirthed.
WHEN WE STOP MAKING SOUL MUSIC LIKE THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE END & WE ARE EXPERIENCING IT NOW!!!!!!🎤🎤🎤🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Auto-tuned Drake and Future took over... unfortunately.
The record companies and execs at top are only interested in the quantity of green and not quality or the artist. It truly sucks. I’m glad we have RUclips to reminisce.
Musiq Soulchild, D’Angelo, Glenn Lewis, Jill Scott, Erica Badu, The Roots, Lauryn Hill, Amel Larrieux. The Neo Soul music era was full of talented artist/writers who sang with such raw emotion and I miss it!! Today’s R&B is definitely not the same. H.E.R, Jazmine Sullivan, Coco Jones, Ari Lennox and Sza is the closest thing we got right now. 😔
Facts
India Arie
The Stevie Wonder is strong in this one
+Ben Erban and musiq soulchild
+Ben Erban That's one of his biggest influences.
Most def
Yes sri!!! i was listening without viewing the video and I was thinking that the tone of the voice sounds familiar... Stevie we love you!!!!. (The Force)
Ben Erban that's part of what made me love his voice and this song. Real talk he look a dark version of Ginuwine and sing like Stevie wonder
Whatever happened to the Neo-Soul of the 00s (circa 00 - 02)? Such ambient, relaxing music just disappeared over the years.
unfortunately it didn't sell (not like winehouse or adele, lol smh) but it never disappeared! i'm here, you're here and countless others still listen to it. at that time, r&b needed an injection of soul. tony rich & d'angelo kicked it off in 1995-96. and the music was the best of the past & present, minus the stupidity & misogyny. and it was NEW music!!!! keyboards, REAL... bass, REAL playing!!! neo-soul will never die!!!!!!
*side note: musiq's album, soulstar, was one of the best of the last! if you haven't listened to it, do..., it's a banger!!!**
Actually Maxwell kicked it off.... but yeah. Agreed on all other counts.
thanks! but do a google search at very least.
Trap Music.
Yeah muzik and a lot of good music from 00-02

Glenn Lewis was so underrated. World Outside My Window was the shit .
It really was, then again it still is!
One of the most slept on R&B albums of all time.
That’s facts!
Beautiful Eyes was the jam!
Yup my jam,i have this cd
This video was on constant rotation on the VH1 Soul channel.
Memories
yeaaaaaaaaaa omg i kept my tv on that
2002 was a dope year. 💯
I agree fam damn time is flying
It really was, especially for R&B
Still a hit, even in 2020. Can't ever Forget good music.
Still gives me the chills
I still remember seeing him at Essence Fest in New Orleans. It was magical❣️
He has a very beautiful smile ☺

Why can't R&B sound like this anymore?
1One2standout1 I agree honey
It does. Listen to The Internet. You won't be disappointed.
Blacks own their own labels..... Then they sold out to the majors
Because black people stopped supporting our culture
Because of Rappers
I come back every now and then just hear the unity in this song 🔥
This song motivated me to move out of my home state with my son. I was beyond miserable but afraid of the unknown. My dad used to play this song a lot when I was younger. I had a dream he was whistling this song and I knew it was time for me to stop being afraid and take a risk. I absolutely love Florida besides the traffic lol.
Thanks for this. I’ve been saying I’m moving for 7 months to Florida.. time to move on . I appreciate you sharing your story
God bless. When you do the same, you get the same. Time is precious. Be proud of the power within you to move on.
God bless you. I wish I had that much strength and took that leap to relocate. My younger brother was not too pleased with me because he implored to leave because of the very limited opportunities in my state and he thought I was really smart as I had just finished my MBA within 1 and 1/2 yrs as opposed to the traditional 2 years it normally takes. I wished I had taken his heed. He was really smart himself. He was an Engineer.(R.I.H.).
🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽
I almost cry every time I hear this. It still hits in 2022
Me too 🥹
Truth
I feel you. All his songs have me like that
Yes, me too💗
Absolutely
This song, never gets old. A true masterpiece..
Closest to Stevie that I've heard...... and I've heard him live. 👊🏾
I agree!
Check him out on Slakah the Beatchild's song Number 1
Wow!! This song would grab a hold on me, especially back in the day. I was 30 yrs old, divorced with 2 girls. Decades later and everything is just fine 😊
Underrated singer.
Whoever the 104 people that didn't like this song doesn't know nor understand good music. I'm just saying your IPad, computer, and phone is full of junk music.
Damn right!!!
Word!
Fuck yeah!!
I know right... The generation is missing out on some good music...smh

Nahhh he sound more like musiq child
You’re right!!!

This song means so much to me…this was a real comfort to me during a trying time in my life. I’m in tears listening to this….music is so powerful
I agree 👍 🙆♂️ 💯 awesomeness.

Back when love existed.

Mcgyver B & 25-30 YRS. PRIOR!
What man now days its so hard to even really get to know a person
Mcgyver B. Right on! ...back when that was a word.😎
As a bassist/keyboardist, this era, especially since this was considered the new Philly sound, Neo Soul, this was my prime era. Philly was Poppin. Had the luxury of playing in backing bands for Glenn Lewis, Jill Scott, Floetry, Bilal, Donnie (not Donnie Hathaway for those who don't know), Kindred The Family Soul, Jimmy Cozier, and a few others.
For a young black man who was a musician that loved chord progressions and theory, this era was pinnacle.
As a 215-er, I feel u! So PROUD of my city's music and musicians during that time!
Congrats man. I actually met the two members of Kindred (Fatin and Aja) at the Fairmont Southampton hotel in Bermuda where they did a concert back in about 2005 or so. After watching them perform as the main event as I went back to the room, my wife and I saw them at the elevator and complimented them on their music. I miss Neo Soul and real soul and R&B too. Classy music. Mint Condition, Musiq Soulchild, Donell Jones. Much better than that crap like Future, Lil Pump, Lil Baby, Migos, Quavo, Lil Wayne and Drake that dominate African-American charts nowadays.
This type of music will never die...this is my go to stuff if Im not playing Stevie or Michael Henderson, Norman Connors etc.
FIRE ERA
Donnie is one of the Greatest, Res from Philly is also!!!
Anyone else in awe of that record collection. I have around 750 and this collection makes me want to quit buying records lol
Dude didn't get enough time to shine. This song carried me in undergrad. Listening to this just takes me back, walking the snow covered streets of Boston.

I still lesten to this song when times get hard. It reminds me of where i am and where i came from...then i make a trip back home to remind me not to look back and to keep moving forward. This song remind me that everything is going to be okay.
It's going to be okay, somehow
That's beautiful.

Yessss it really sucks that EVERYONE ALIVE didn’t know this song…. Now this is what you call a MASTERPIECE!
#FACTS LOVE ME SOME GLENN
It got into the top ten back when music was making money. It was a hit🎉 Would of like more albums Glen I know it hurts (the 🎵 industry).
He had that look like he could have easily been a Morehouse College or Howard University Grad. That intellectually sexy look.
Put him, Musiq SoulChild and Stevie Wonder on a song. Fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Glen Lewis kind of sound like Stevie Wonder

That's a mean combo!!!
@Eric Lee you know your shit just add Donnell Jones 👌
The days of “Midnight Love.” ❤
2000 r&b is just different. Easy to fall in a daze.
This song has so much nostalgia back to my inner child, teenager, and adult. All the things we go through while navigating through life.
I just said the same. Born 94 so this takes me back to when I had no care in the world & my mom, my everything, would have these classics on from hiphop to r&b . Her love for music went right to me. I hear songs like Mary j blidge “everything” & biggie “mo money” & I’m taking back to nearly my toddler days & vividly remember the days when these songs played.
Peace & blessings to you Queen
Well said.. real shit....
And the best comment award goes too LOL ...Damn well put tho 👍🏾
Yes we go through so much it's like a reflection back in time.
Nostalgia in the real world.
After 20 years, two masters degrees, and looking up the lyrics, I think I just might finally understand the theme, to not let go of the dreams of our youth. The rhythm of the lyrics is next level.
nedaari1 YES!!!
Lol I looked up the meaning on google and your explanation was much clearer then what's online. Thanks
Lol..yep!
Degrees don’t mean shit you still working at McDonald’s 😂😂
That's what I was thinking 20 years
I remember when this joint came out I thought it was a new Stevie Wonder song lol....
Glenn Lewis hit us over the head with this one👏🏾🙌🏾
I am James F Jr... Today musical taste of young people is really bad. This song sounds very much like Stevie Wonder. This song is so very good. His voice is so smooth. This is the music you play when you want to assure your lady you will be there for her. This is music !
I've always appreciated the scene of Glenn lying on the floor with headphones on & the classic records beside him. ❤🎧
That part !!

agreed . also a little of pj morton
ON point!!! Best comment ever!!! Stevie/Musiq fusion!!!
GABRIELA DAWSON agreed Cherub!! My cousin who dealt with the music biz in an indirect way, told me Glenn wouldn’t play * Their games!🤨 (* meaning those shady and perverts in the music industry! Seemed like they always want to turn an Asiatic Brother into a homosexual. Glenn wasn’t hear that!!😂😂) I loved this song! 😍 I brought the cd when this song hit the radio . Man, come to think of it!🤔 I haven’t listen to the radio for a couple of years now. Patty Jackson from WDAS fm got a RUclips channel now! Shoot I ain’t gotta listen to those corny formats anymore! 😂 Peace Cherub from the Magi Hypnotist in the East. 🇲🇦🇺🇸✡️🙏🏿
GABRIELA DAWSON plus he’s very good looking so he has the appeal of talent and looks. The music business is all jacked up.
I Miss This Kind Of Neo Soul Music
It was just called R&B back in my day . but yeah I here yeah .
This is not Neo soul.
2022 and this song is still a masterpiece👏🏾
I just zoned out and started performing this. Looked up and a group of people was staring at me. Damn you headphones, damn you masterpiece of a song. 🔥
I heard this song when I was with my ex. We was riding in the car together. It was an emotionally abusive relationship. I was so hurt and broken. The lyrics moved me. They really speak to me today. God knows I needed to hear this. That's why I love Him so much. He never gives up on us, and He is always trying to show Himself to us. Even when we are so far away from Him.

Real Music 🎶 2024 still rocking this classic
Still love this song on April 19, 2024.
I noticed something about some of the comments about him saying he should of been more famous. Which is true, I agree. However, I'm now seeing that if guys like Glen Lewis truly musically talented with a gift like music, you honestly wouldn't want to be famous like most of the mainstream artist who came, saw and got conquered by the music industry. I rather see him be more happy with his gift then him being famous.
TRUTH
Well said.
Well stated 💯💯💯💯
Facts those commentaries were based upon those who are into idolatry.
Well constructed comment
He was so underrated. Beautiful voice that is reminiscent of Stevie Wonder. Still jammin' in 2020!
If anybody has kids that just graduated high school I sent this to my son to song that that is the perfect song to dedicate to your kids when they're going out in the world and finding out. just listene to the lyrics
I hear the Stevie Wonder influence on this bad brother. 👊
So much r&b was lost during this decade.
Yes Indeed It Was
“Don’t forget where you are ain’t where you been, life’s lessons then made you into woman” My favorite part of the song to this day
Sabrina Avent I play this song every morning. While I get my daughters ready for school. Love this song

This gem was shot in Harlem NYC. Just a beautiful video & timeless video!
How did Epic drop the ball with this guy. They didn't even try to market the man.

#adulting 101 right there! 💯
So true
This man never got the recognition he deserved.... But we fans know who he is....
Just remember all those that had limited success or one hit wonders with a hit, didn’t sell their SOULS. We must respect them for that
I love this video so much, I wanna cry, this is when everything was genuine and real. No cell phones so they missed each other aww
D Henny we had cells phones lmao just was free after 7pm 🤣 two way pagers and Nextel were extremely popular then.
Tell em

Believe it or not Glen Lewis was project. He was amazing and should've gotten a signing deal with the record company. But, NEO SOUL wasn't the main focus in the music industry. So he was a project. Just like a lot of those one hit wonders in the NEO SOUL AND R&B category. Names like Tony Rich, Craig David, Mystic, Jerzee Monet the list goes on. But all them artists was projects for record companies. That means they give them $800,000 to do they thang and put out a album. Your one hit strikes the billboard you get a million to atlease 3 million. But they also release you with YOUR MASTER COPY and when your song gets played on radios and feature on soundtrack you get 25% while the label gets 75% or it depends on how much they agree with you on. PRIME EXAMPLE LOOK AT BAD BOY RECORDS. That's what happened to DA BAND, DIRTY MONEY, CARL THOMAS, LOON, CRAIG MAC, DIANTY KANE, YOUNG JOC ESPECIALLY. YOUNG JOC was a project for the SOUTH. Remember at one time the DIRTY SOUTH was taking over in the rap and JOC was DIDDY'S new project for the south. BAD BOY SOUTH. JOC got screwed so bad that he stooped to LOVE AND HIP HOP.
This song became my life anchor when I was on my way to the hospital to give birth to my daughter. I was anxious and afraid, and the lyrics took me to a place of peace. Years later, I met Glenn Lewis at The Apollo, and I got to share my story with him. He was touched, and he autographed a pic for my little girl. This song continues to speak to me to this day.
I just want to document how special I think this song is. Many blessings to all. Listening in 2024 here.
Congratulations on this hit. Thank you for your patience. Thank you. Love always, Patricia ❤🎉😊
He's vibing Stevie hard on this song ... Continue on young brother . Can't go wrong with Stevie .
You're absolutely right. This is One of my Favorite Songs.
This ENTIRE album (World outside My Window) still stands up 12 yrs later...every single track
....& don't you forget it ;-)
You are so rite lady !!
Where in this world would you still get some1 with this much soul ?
where can you find this album now do you know?
creativewritings247 yes 😊😊😊😊 love this whole album 💕💕
This entire album is fire
creativewritings247 I still play this album. Classic all around.
When I first heard this song, I thought it was Stevie Wonder (as many others likely also did). When I realized it was by this young, up-and -coming Canadian R&B singer, I ran out and bought the CD. I was not disappointed, as all of the tracks on the album are well written and inspired. I wonder why Glenn Lewis didn’t make it even bigger, as he seems to have fallen off the fast track.
These are the ones that didn’t sell their souls!!! No way he’s not making music no more
I was 12 when this came out on. Watched it/heard it on BET Jazz...It introduced me to NeoSoul and it changed my life. Through this I found hip-hop (Kweli, Mos Def, Nas, etc)...Miss these days. I'm turning 31 next month and I'm married with a 2 year old. Bumping this with her all the time. Good times, life is strange and moves fast, enjoy it!
When this came out i was about 15 and was living on my own. This song gave me so much strength to keep going . I never missed a day of school( except cut days) I had a after school job and had my first apartment. This use to make me cry because my uncle use to tell me the same thing but he passed aways about 6 years b4 this came out. I havent heard it in years but i needed it now To remember because now I have a 14 year old .
You are amazing. So so strong. Well done and I hope u realise how fantastic u are!
@@yehehe98 thank u
Stay strong
And don't you forget it
Keep winning, and remember god never gives you anything that you can’t handle.
This song always reminds me of the strength that I was born with. It makes me want to cry feeling and remembering the wisdom, strength and courage that it takes to be in my skin every day that I awake! Thanks Glenn for helping me to remember!

This is when they was playing real music from their heart . True music. I miss them good music.

Yep 🎶🎶🎶
Seems like '03 was the last year of good music and fun...
RnB died after that generation.
actually was 04 with the Mario winans - i don't wanna know song....but u can still find some good music nowadays.just not on radio..
+Frank Fenixx Mgtow Producer's and money Has killed beautiful music & musicians. Tevin Campbell, Black Street, SWV. All gone because of producers
Yeah it was around 2004/05, with a couple of good tracks trickling into 06. Afterwards RnB became 'urban pop' , then EDM. You know things were bad when Lady Gaga, Bieber and Lil Wayne took over urban music.
+Vuyisile Juqula I know right?!.... Smh 🙁😢
I feel alone and exhausted. At 31, I understand this song now I never thought I would become the woman he's talking about. Lifes a trip.
Neo soul days was golden.
