Just read an article on CNN about the loss of great R&B music nowadays and saw this... "There you'll find singers like Jesse Boykins III, a 26-year-old with a supple, soulful voice that would've fit right in during the classic soul era." Its not really lost.... it just manifested itself in new singers like Jesse.... Great voice!
@@neutralsnoir2509 i know right. I remember in 2012 he came to DC and performed and i went to see him with my best friend and my mom and it was on my birthday! One of the best birthday celebrations i ever had.
Fell IN LOVE with this song years ago & keep coming back for more! Literally been a fan for a decade! I remember when this song/video barely had any views and to make it to over 1million is beyond amazing! So glad people see what I’ve been seeing! Need more Artist like you! One of my favorite Artist! Still on repeat in 2020! 🖤💋🔥♥️
Can we please concentrate on telling Mr Boykins III how his definition of love has touched our heart strings? Can we please concentrate on thanking him for reminding us that there still are some beautiful things in this world? Thank you very much
One of my favorite NEO-soul artist and he still kills it to this day. I remember seeing him in DC at the U Street Music Hall and he sounded just like this song. Love from DC.
I remember hearing this over 10 years ago and it's heavy on my playlist now. This dude should be on heavy rotation but our radio station rather listen to... y'all know
Imagine... a fine ass man🥰✨ can’t believe how well the song and video aged. Classic, heard the audio years ago, today is the first time viewing the music video🤯❤️❤️❤️
This song could play forever. I love it. Bless up, Jesse. My big brother went the New School with you and Chrisette Michelle. That's how I heard about you. Every play is worth it.
RemixedBeauty i was reading the comments yo remixed it with walrus maybe its the Hennessey but your the first who gave a opinion on this beautiful song without making it out to be a joke i love good music hard to come by anymore so decided to write to u to me a favor and listen to Jessie Boykin earth girls this brother has lyrics as well as soul i personally love it
I had made a joke to a buddy recently singing 'she was a walrus' to this melody, endless rhyming jokes ensued... ps am not a big dude but like big girls
Jesse, I am so grateful to bask in the warm glow of your radiant light! Your gift of music and overflowing love is refreshing and inspiring. Thank you for being you :) Love & light, G
Just peeped this on 106and Park! And here I thought BET didn't play REAL music! Needless to say, I copped both albums from iTunes (no bootlegging here)! I WILL SUPPORT REAAAAL MUSIC!
Frank Berthet un de mes contact "you tube" a partagé les vidéos de cet artiste que je ne connaissais absolument pas et j'en suis totalement ravie!!!!! heureuse que cela t' ai plu aussi ;) bonne fin de soirée a toi Frank, bises
i went to high school with him in miami florida, such a Blessing to see him doing what he loves to do. Been doing this since school. Keep up the good work over love your music
She was a walrus???!! He's saying "She was amorous, I tried to give her the more of me, more than gorgeous, more than I've ever seen". The definition of Amorous is, "being in love or enamored, inclined or disposed to love". Just thought I'd mention it if it helps to make more light of the story that Jesse is telling in the song.
The word is pronounced "AM-orous," not "a-MOR-ous." So, Jesse's ass is shot out on this one. It's his own fault errybody hears "she was a walrus." LMAO!
phfff, ha, ha, HA - Damn! - its been too long since I've had a good laugh like that! Thanks, seriously, I needed it. I know the feeling Jessie describes in this song. After feeling that way, and, after trying to give the more of me, and being left to the cold and lonely wayside, laughter can be hard to summon. She was just too far away, and more than gorgeous. I appreciate that I had the opportunity to feel that way - but, it's gone, and we only live once, and we have too little time for shitty feelings pertaining that void. Find your smile, and find yourself. The way you came in is not the way out, difficult to find, yet perhaps the only task worthy.
@@aliceIMF Well thanks, you sure make feel good about myself - really. In fact, I feel we have a need to love ourselves, and not so selfishly. How can one love anything or anyone else before they love themselves? Same is true of respect, and to respect oneself, you must first be respectable. To love yourself, you must first be lovable, right? I just don't think I could love myself if I could not respect the chose of a soul I love, even if the chose is not in my favor. I chose appreciation over entitlement, and by that chose, I love myself, and respect what's given, even after it's gone. So, no hard feelings toward me ol' walrus - ha Haaa!. Seriously good laugh - again, and again, thank you. I was trying to figure out what the IMF in your username meant, and as I'm drawing a blank, I'm now intrigued - please indulge me if you will, or not. Que tanga una buean dia, con mas amore dentro.
@@lesvion3815 fun story. i'm longtime friends with funkadelic and i would hang out whenever they played nearby. my BFF was their stage manager before he and his family were killed in a car wreck :-( and one time he took me on european tour with them back in the early '90s. while on that tour, the trombone player and i fell deep in like and started seeing each other. my favorite song they'd play every night was "alice in my fantasies" so he started calling me alice because he said i was in his. so after i came back to the states and they continued the tour, he started sending me postcards from all the cities they visited, and they were always addressed to "AliceIMF." ... and that is the story of my username and what IMF stands for. :-)

This song transports me to a place where "love" lives.

Why can't they make more music like this. You just can't get enough!
Can we please concentrate on telling Mr Boykins III how his definition of love has touched our heart strings? Can we please concentrate on thanking him for reminding us that there still are some beautiful things in this world? Thank you very much
This Jamaican is loving this fellow Jamaican's music 🎶
One of my favorite NEO-soul artist and he still kills it to this day. I remember seeing him in DC at the U Street Music Hall and he sounded just like this song. Love from DC.
Reminds me a lot of Dwele.
Yessss Dwele
DWELE is my MAN!!!!!!!!!!
This brother got better chops
similar but not really
dwele has a better catalog
I remember hearing this over 10 years ago and it's heavy on my playlist now. This dude should be on heavy rotation but our radio station rather listen to... y'all know
This Jamaican loves Jesse music!!!!
didn't know this was 10 years old 😳 Playing nonstop right now! 🔥
beautiful music is ageless
Still my favorite JB song and one of my favorite songs period. I'm forever a fan.
nothing like the jazzy hip-hop
neo soul
Hip hop?
This is not hip-hop lol
I'm On Your Roof hip hop is the ground foundation of soul music
@@FreeFlow__ soul is the foundation of hiphop *
Imagine... a fine ass man🥰✨ can’t believe how well the song and video aged. Classic, heard the audio years ago, today is the first time viewing the music video🤯❤️❤️❤️
The first time I heard this song was on Pandora and I saved it on my Play list I think he is very talented and he has beautiful hair.😀
Same... Avery Sunshine Station.
the amount of love and intimacy in this song makes me sad
Exactly!
Felt the same way...
indeed, christian...it's haunting... but a beautiful song, nonetheless
It's 2023 and this song is still giving like the first time I heard it 2014 ✨💗🥰
Jesse Boykins III Way Of A Wayfarer EP Out Now! Thanks For The Love & Support

puttinGod1st will
THIS is music...REAL music..REAL DEAL R&B right here!!!!! This is what music is missing!
Its cool seeing a black man just naturally grow his hair out. Im inspired. and this track is fire!
Thank you for bringing the romance back. We and the future generations are in desperate need of romantic love. Take care my friend. And stay blessed!
My life is not complete until I see this man in concert.
Its 2am...doing an assignment, was feeling kind of stressed. Then I remembered this song, seems like everything will be alright now.
I remember, the feelings I had when I first heard this track years ago... Classic Shyt!!!
This song could play forever. I love it. Bless up, Jesse. My big brother went the New School with you and Chrisette Michelle. That's how I heard about you. Every play is worth it.
Nothing but positive vibes

This song is made for me
Man, this is where it's at. Play this over and over.
Gorgeous.
This song stirs a passion in my soul... And his voice😍 Damn JB3!!!! 😍

Smooth as butter on a stainless steel surface separated by 🔥🔥🔥
I need a Raheem Devaughn and Jesse Boykins collaboration....
Wow. I didn't know there was a video😮❤
underrated
True
Very 😞
It’s like listening to Jesus serenading you 😍
Why am I just hearing this song on Pandora for the 1st time. This is incredible neo soul. It's going immediately on my playlist.
Yessssssss! I just heard it on Pandora for the first time 3 days ago, I'm so ashamed! His voice is heaven sent!
nitekraawler What station did you hear it on?
Keven Ulrich This song played on a station I'd customized called Dwele radio, named after another artist who has an incredible voice I love.
Keven Ulrich Music it played on my station foreign exchange too ♡
I diggs Dwele and Foreign exchange all day. Listen a guy named MNDSGN as well
This tune is proof that Originality is still quite possible within the realm of modern day music. Simply beauty-filled. Thank you.
I had made a joke to a buddy recently singing 'she was a walrus' to this melody, endless rhyming jokes ensued... ps am not a big dude but like big girls
❤❤❤ Jesse Boykins iii ❤❤❤
This reminds me of Musiq Soulchild. Dope
DOPE...indeed - i was thinking more so "eric roberson," than "musiq soulchild," but i feel you on the neo soul tip.
yyyy Never heard of him, I need 2 do some research
man this should have more views... this is how r&b should sound like..
The she's out of my league song. Very cute :-)
This song is EVERYTHING......🥰
Love that hair!!!!😍
I also love the fact that it is filmed in black and white.....classic!
My heart melts when I hear this song!!! 😍 ❤
Even as a hermit this song makes me want to fall in love.
Jesse,
I am so grateful to bask in the warm glow of your radiant light! Your gift of music and overflowing love is refreshing and inspiring. Thank you for being you :)
Love & light,
G
take away the pain music. music that you can feel.
His voice is so smooth. Video complements the lyrics perfectly.
MINUTE 2:03-2:11 ...BEST PART OF THE VIDEO.. kind gesture for a older couple who personify the meaning of the song...
this song is so melodic, so hypnotic, so smooth.
You Da truth Jesse carrying the torch of Curtis, Donnie, Marvin and Stevie, a real natural progression.
Why doesn't this have more views?
I know right... pure sound
People are still sleep
Kiana Terry still not enough views in 2018 tbh
NO BS THIS IS THE BEST RnB,SOULFUL SONG IN A LONGGGGG TIME
This song is amazing! It's been on my rotation for a few years now
Thank God for RUclips.......I just found out about Jesse yesterday and now he has a place in my heart!!!!
I can't get enough of this song! ❤
Not going to lie.. i sometimes miss this Jesse...so swaggy and that hair...
It was this song that made me fall in love with his music. His vocalism is phenomenal.
Dope Vibe reminds me of Dwele
Everything you never knew you needed with a beautiful melody an a beat 💕
Jesse is an artist you're glad you stumbled upon and now you're hooked
