This is the last song my father let me listen to the night before his massive heart attack in 2000. He lived another 12 years, despite doctors expectations. Always will have a place in my heart.
This song is officially a quarter century (25) years old. Let that sink in. 1999 doesn’t feel like it was that long ago. This & TLC’s “No Scrubs” got so much airplay back then.
When my son was 2 we listened to this in the car and he loved it! He would ask to hear it often and we would both sing to it as loud as we could. October 2020 we will be dancing to this song at his wedding because of our beautiful memories together while singing this beautiful song...together. Thank you Macy! 💞
The real reason guys dig this song very much. Modern women tends to be stronger than the men, to what end I can't really tell, doesn't really work with guys, but what do I know
My mom loves macy gray and this song takes me right back to being a little kid. It’s 2024 and I’m a 31 year old grown up now. Crazy how a song can place you right back to a place and time all while bringing you to happy tears. Cheers to music for being so great ❤
Sometimes you don’t realize how great a song is until you hear it years later & it hits you in a different way. I don’t even necessarily like this type of music or this genre, but this song really speaks to me. That’s the true mark of any great art. Love & peace 💚✌️
I was born in 98 so I was 2 when this song came out but somehow I remember it, I listened to it for the first time earlier this year and it hit different, beautiful track
Same, I brushed it off when I was young, thought it sounded funny. Now when I hear the lyrics I'm thinkin' "Dayum this song speaks to me. It's sung but it speaks!" Suddenly all the stuff from that era is all making sense to me. Huh.

I thought it was me just boo hoo crying … I sing this song to my dog and I had to check him into day care cus I am a truck driver and I am missing my baby
This song reminds me of my 22 year old son who died in 2007. I thank Macy for this. Some say we just need to cry and those days are farther and farther apart..
@@maleisac4727 Here I am back listening again 2 years later. Thank you for your reply, I hope you get this. I do know where my son is because he believed in Jesus. This has comforted me more than I can ever say.
My dad loved this song way back when. I remember him playing it on CD in his truck when we'd drive around. It hits that nostalgia for me and takes me back to the good ole days. He's been gone since August 2021. Love and miss him so much.
Haha my dad's ''favorite song'' ((despite having made a good living in a 60's R&B band)) was a comparable 90's song. He died a few years ago. My sister played Amazing Grace on her Ipod instead of his favorite song, when he died. That's gonna haunt me forever. I hope you honor your father! I hope you receive all the lessons he taught you from now until the day you die! I hope that one day you rock out and feel at peace at the sound of his name.
Sometimes I hate my generation. We were in high school/college when this came out and many of us mocked her voice and unusual style, too stupid and immature to understand and appreciate excellence. It’s just now, with experiences in the world and wisdoms, that we revert back to this golden time and capture the brilliance of Macy Gray that we should’ve captured back then. ❤
@@zaidamaganda You're 💯 % correct in thinking that because it's true. The world(and life in general) changed and began a downward spiral in 2001. The mid 90s and the year 2000 were such fun, optimistic times. When Al Gore lost to George W. Bush in the 2000 election everything went sour and it's never recovered.
Here after the All Star National Anthem! Loved it, love your unique voice & style!!! And after listening this song came to mind & now I can’t stop listening to it!!!!!!!
Today my daughter would’ve turned 45. She passed of a long battle with brain cancer. She picked her music for her funeral. And this was the first song on her track. I saw this today on my RUclips. And had to listen to it. I know what the song means, but she used it as a way to say how said she was to die.
I was in a cab earlier with a friend and this came on BBC radio 2. Couldn't help but sing along. The elderly cab driver was singing along too. Great moment.
"My world crumbles while you are not there". I'll be honest, I've heard this song so much, and this is the first time it actually dawned on me that that's how the lyrics go in the chorus.
I probably heard this song for the first time about 13+ years ago and it wasn't until just today that I came to the same realization. Crazy how we can go our entire lives absentmindedly filling in the blanks like this.
One of the best songs in the world. I loved it when it first came out and still love it now. Macy Gray has such an awesome voice and is one talented lady!
WOW. I'm f***kin' blown away right now. I've never heard this woman before. Thank you Macy. I'm sorry, I am from a tiny pacific island... this is just too much. Macy, you have such a unique voice that's beyond explanation. whew!!
I don't think she was. If anything she was overrated. She was everywhere and just ...meh. She was okay but people started comparing her to Aretha and Etta. Nah! Plus its good she vanished. Seemed like fame diodn't suit her, she was off her nut at the Brits and no one from her label seemed to be doing anything about it. Maybe it was a blessing that saved her from being another discarded victim of the music business
This song reminds me of a girl I used to work with in a supermarket deli dept back in 1999. It was always on the radio we had out the back. We had some great fun as 17/18 year olds, a lot of laughs and memories, youth, not a care in the world, our first ever job and living life. All the full time staff always went home at 5pm and us ''young ones'' (most of us had been there since age 16 from highschool) used to start at 4pm til closing. I remember the day she left, the supermarket closed at 9pm and her and I had to clean down and do everything we needed to do and try and get out as soon as possible - usually 9.15pm. Just before we were about to turn the lights off and walk to go get changed and go home...this came on the radio, and I vividly remember her singing and miming to this song in front of me. Was almost as if she was saying goodbye through this song. Like, it was her way of saying it. I stood there and said ''So.....'' We hugged and she said ''Will see ya round one day, but just in case we don't..... remember me by that song''. I remember walking out through the aisles with her and I said ''Hey, do you want a ride home?'' as knew she didn't have a car, and she said ''No, it's cool'' By the time I got in my car and drove out of the parking lot, she had vanished. I've never ever seen her again. Over the years I've tried looking her up on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, nothing. Maybe one day.
that happened to me with my really good friend Leonora! like... one day she just disappears on me somewhere around... back in 05/06 n haven't heard from her ever since. even went to the bakery she owned once, they said all they know is she moved to Houston Texas. n the two times I went to Houston I'd even be driving around with eyes wide open to see if maybe I can spot her somewhere out there with no luck. but hey! who knows... this is a small world really! maybe one day we'll bump into our friends again. ps: i know it has nothing to do with this song, just thought ur story was cute!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. You made me cry and will add to my memory of this song 🤗 Life would be meaningless without such songs and stories - I sincerely hope you'll find her one day
@@pwelti Thank you. I hope so too one day. I sometimes think she knew we never would see each other again, but couldn't actually say ''goodbye''. Almost like it was planned or she had thought about it. It's still very vivid to me now, almost 22 years later (will be in October). I hope she has had a happy life.
When I heard this song on the radio I was struggling with substance abuse and the lyrics were really hitting me when I would be craving getting high and i just couldn’t break the cycle. I hear it now as a love song and I think even though someone relationships end, I think it’s so much better to controlled by love for another person than to be addicted to a chemical high.
Ya know, it’s been probably 20 years since I’ve heard this song (or even thought about it). For some reason today, totally out of the blue, I started singing the chorus as I unloaded the dishwasher. An hour later I’m sitting in my living room watching this and crying like a baby and I have NO CLUE WHY
My first CD was this album and I'll forever be grateful for the lessons it taught me and the hard times it helped me survive. Thank you for existing Madam Macy Gray. ❤
Its 2019 and I'm at work. Macy gray walks in and tries to conceal her identity when asked for ID for a pack of smokes. she calls a friend over and immediately when she spoke it was a dead give away. I then sing a line from this song and she burst out laughing. Beautiful woman. My night has been made 5/5/2019❤.
My mom played this song again for me yesterday (im 32). We used to listen to this album when she'd drive me around when I was a kid. Over 20 years later I've taken to a career in live music performance, and looking back at this album all those years later...My god, the writing, production, instrumental arrangement, the feel, all immaculate. What an incredible artist, and what a record this was. This is the peak of pop R&B and soul working in unison, timeless stuff. The Anderson Paaks of today owe it to artists like Macy Gray.
Damn, I love me some Macy Gray ❤❤ That raspiness in her voice resonates within my soul and spirit 💜 🔥 🔥 I love love love this Song. Pure Masterpiece ❤❤❤❤ They Just don't make music 🎶 like they used to. There's no feeling in today's music. Everything is so commercial.
+Breaking Julia The voice reeled me in also. The song is great too! I heard this on the radio and thought, Who is that? Never heard who, for a long time. Finally heard the name behind this great song. Macy Gray. I'm white, She's black. Our blood is the same color. Red. Goes for all races. We all bleed red. Many read the bible. And yet do not get it. Life is in the blood it states. I know you just were talking about this great song. Sorry. Can't help it sometimes. Racism makes me sick. It's stupid. We all come from one source. I just want all to realize that and love one another. But hard times are ahead for all of us before that happens. People just don't want to hear it. Thank you. I'll go away now.
"I Try" - lyrics Games, changes, and fears When will they go from here? When will they stop? I believe that fate has brought us here And we should be together, babe But we're not I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near I may appear to be free But I'm just a prisoner of your love I may seem alright and smile when you leave But my smiles are just a front, just a front I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Here is my confession May I be your possession Boy, I need your touch Your love kisses, and such With all my might I try But this I can't deny, deny I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near
Okay, looking at these great lyrics from this great song, I just have a question...what the heck does "fiendin" mean ? ? If someone can please explain. It must be a word to cool for me to be familiar with ! But I really want to know !
i remember being maybe 6/7 years old and i was at the grocery store with my mom and this song was on. i danced up and down the aisles making up the choreography to match the lyrics 😂🥺 i loved this song so much, and still do. thank you macy 🙏🏼 ❤ core memory
Man memories. I was addicted to this song for many many years. I always thought it would have been epic if Macy Gray and Cee Lo Green would have did a duet.
BadAssSykO I used to play this on repeat in my car and my grandson would whinge and moan all the way to school about it...lol he loathes this song but I still love it...and yep the dude in it is a babe..
"it could be a love song, but it's really a heartbreaker with a very personal story behind it. Macy Gray was signed to Atlantic Records in the mid-'90s as part of a rock band, but the album they made never got released. With her music career kaput, Gray became a secretary and married her boyfriend, a mortgage broker named Tracy Hinds. They had three children together but split up just as Gray got a solo deal with Epic Records. Many of the songs Gray wrote for her first album were about Hinds, including "I Try," where she explains that she wants to be strong and leave his memory behind, but can't bring herself to do so"
Real emotions too complicated to fake. It shows. Bittersweet no doubt. Leaving behind everything you've loved for everything you've ever wanted. This isn't my kinda music, but it's one of my favourite songs. Realness transcends taste.
My god, that voice. And on top of that, it sends you right back to the 90's. I miss watching this on the TV, in the night. Now I have youtube, and my temples are gray...
I have always heard this song growing up but have never truly understood it until my very first girlfriend left. It makes me remember that sort of love that seemed as if it would outlast time. Everyday with her was like a daydream. I am truly greatful to have had these experiences with her.
**LYRICS** Games, changes and fears When will they go from here When will they stop I believe that fate has brought us here And we should be together babe But we're not I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin' I try to say goodbye and I choke Try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not here Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not here I may appear to be free But I'm just a prisoner of your love And I may seem all right and smile when you leave But my smiles are just a front Just a front, hey I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you And I'll try to keep my cool, but I'm fiendin' I try to say goodbye and I choke Try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not here Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not here Here is my confession May I be your possession Boy, I need your touch Your love, kisses and such With all my might I try But this I can't deny Deny I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you (but I'm dreaming of you babe) And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin' I try to say goodbye and I choke Try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not here Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not here
Love this song, I can just let my heart flow into it. Macy performed this so well, that it seems almost like it's personal. It probably is.... and I can feel it.
I moved to the USA in September of 1999, as a 6 year old kid and this is one of the first songs I ever heard here. I'm 25 now. This song instantly takes me back to that moment in time.
I am living in Australia and I just saw you on the Mask Singer. Your such an icon and a inspiration to me and many. This is still one of my favorite song from you. MACY YOUR AN LEGEND. Your voice is so unique and authentic 💛❤💚🖤 who listening in 2021

I was 9. Woke up at 6:30-7ish that morning to an unexpected TV alarm blaring this song with no remote in sight. And I mean blaring. I tried to manually turn off the 23 inch wide Macy Gray that was pretending to sniff flowers on my living room. We had no choice but to listen to the rest before unplugging the damn thing. Three of us in the room. One slept through it.

I was in high school when I first time listening to this song. I thought It was just a catchy song. Until I been through a toxicant relationship, somehow the lyrics just came up in my head. I just can't stop crying when I realised how much I can relate to this song.
This brings back tears about a certain someone in my past, it will always be with me, this Memories of our love of each other. she will always have a place in my heart.
Dude tell me about it about once every 2 years the song will pop my head in the only thing I can think of is she looks like the actress Wanda Sykes and that gives me nothing
99% of the time when i remember an old song that reminds me of things i come here to find it and no one has commented in like 10+ years. seeing so many recent comments for one of my favorite songs literally made my day and night. i have felt so alone lately and hearing this song and reading the comments has kind of lifted me up a lot.
My mom and I used to sing this song together when I was younger, she took her own life last month and I just started going through home movies & found a clip of us singing this 😭
😯😢😭 I extend my sincerest heartfelt condolences to you and your family, I've lost my mom as well( heart attack in her sleep) and I know how deep and painful the void is...

The real reason guys dig this song very much. Modern women tends to be stronger than the men, to what end I can't really tell, doesn't really work with guys, but what do I know

Special parents are chosen for special children. I feel your pain. Love to you xxx
There's something so emotional about this song. I can't really explain why. It sounds very sincere, I guess.
Library
Agreed
I think it's the tune, the chords are beautiful omg
Gui Porto melody sounds like what lyrics are saying. The best songs do that. Melody has regret and longing in it.
Ikr? That park scene gets me every time!😍
I am also 57, in April of this year. Happy birthday Macy. Great voice!
I was in a cab earlier with a friend and this came on BBC radio 2. Couldn't help but sing along. The elderly cab driver was singing along too. Great moment.
"My world crumbles while you are not there". I'll be honest, I've heard this song so much, and this is the first time it actually dawned on me that that's how the lyrics go in the chorus.
It’s one of the famous misheard lyrics, the same line is, “I wore goggles when you’re not there”🥹😯, give it a listen again.
“I blow bubbles when you are not there” what the fuck?
Hey guys?!
I'm looking for another singer of this song along with "the cooltrane quartet".
Would you happen to be able to tell me?
I thank the answer.
I probably heard this song for the first time about 13+ years ago and it wasn't until just today that I came to the same realization. Crazy how we can go our entire lives absentmindedly filling in the blanks like this.
0:12 “When will they go for me, when will they stop. “. My cry as a teen. Great lyrics.
😂
Macy gray being on of the most underrated musicians of this century, LOVE HER.
Unique voice
I agree brother!!
Underrated - I always believed she was GREAT!
yes
I love her too!!!!
Never have I ever heard a voice like her. She is truly unique in the music industry. Love her!
This song is 20 years old, we getting old 90s kids
Look at us though. Still living. Kids now days will never have what we had, a life 😎
@@timcleall6302 okay millennial
@@timcleall6302 that was a very boomer thing to say
boomer
Tim Cleall what? A lot of gen z like me had a life. It was amazing. Your comment made no sense.
Very similar voice to the one & only Tina Turner!!!
One of the best songs in the world. I loved it when it first came out and still love it now. Macy Gray has such an awesome voice and is one talented lady!
WOW. I'm f***kin' blown away right now. I've never heard this woman before. Thank you Macy. I'm sorry, I am from a tiny pacific island... this is just too much. Macy, you have such a unique voice that's beyond explanation. whew!!
SURE; Macy has MAGIC running to her fingertips. You may be from a tiny Pacific island but you have brought this woman to your island!
Many people
Haven’t heard of her , so you not alone!
Welcome to the time of great music there were lots of good songs win this one was made but this is one of the greats
Check out her song "Still". Powerful!
Then "Sugar Daddy"! What range!
Happy Birthday Queen☀️🌍
One of the most underrated artists, ever.
Ever. The azealia Banks of her time.
True that.
Say it with ya chest 🗣
I don't think she was. If anything she was overrated. She was everywhere and just ...meh. She was okay but people started comparing her to Aretha and Etta. Nah!
Plus its good she vanished. Seemed like fame diodn't suit her, she was off her nut at the Brits and no one from her label seemed to be doing anything about it. Maybe it was a blessing that saved her from being another discarded victim of the music business
She won a Grammy against Christina Aguilera. How could she be underrated ?
I've been a Macy Gray fan since the beginning, can't believe it's been 25 years 😳 this song still hits in 2023 ♥️
Y aun suena .02/2024
This song reminds me of a girl I used to work with in a supermarket deli dept back in 1999. It was always on the radio we had out the back. We had some great fun as 17/18 year olds, a lot of laughs and memories, youth, not a care in the world, our first ever job and living life. All the full time staff always went home at 5pm and us ''young ones'' (most of us had been there since age 16 from highschool) used to start at 4pm til closing. I remember the day she left, the supermarket closed at 9pm and her and I had to clean down and do everything we needed to do and try and get out as soon as possible - usually 9.15pm. Just before we were about to turn the lights off and walk to go get changed and go home...this came on the radio, and I vividly remember her singing and miming to this song in front of me. Was almost as if she was saying goodbye through this song. Like, it was her way of saying it. I stood there and said ''So.....'' We hugged and she said ''Will see ya round one day, but just in case we don't..... remember me by that song''. I remember walking out through the aisles with her and I said ''Hey, do you want a ride home?'' as knew she didn't have a car, and she said ''No, it's cool'' By the time I got in my car and drove out of the parking lot, she had vanished. I've never ever seen her again. Over the years I've tried looking her up on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, nothing. Maybe one day.
that happened to me with my really good friend Leonora! like... one day she just disappears on me somewhere around... back in 05/06 n haven't heard from her ever since. even went to the bakery she owned once, they said all they know is she moved to Houston Texas. n the two times I went to Houston I'd even be driving around with eyes wide open to see if maybe I can spot her somewhere out there with no luck. but hey! who knows... this is a small world really! maybe one day we'll bump into our friends again.
ps: i know it has nothing to do with this song, just thought ur story was cute!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. You made me cry and will add to my memory of this song 🤗 Life would be meaningless without such songs and stories - I sincerely hope you'll find her one day
@@pwelti Thank you. I hope so too one day. I sometimes think she knew we never would see each other again, but couldn't actually say ''goodbye''. Almost like it was planned or she had thought about it. It's still very vivid to me now, almost 22 years later (will be in October). I hope she has had a happy life.
@@chloedemalmanche6021 good luck 👍🏻
WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST IN FINDING HER ,MAYBE SHE'S ALSO LOOKING 4 YOU
When I heard this song on the radio I was struggling with substance abuse and the lyrics were really hitting me when I would be craving getting high and i just couldn’t break the cycle. I hear it now as a love song and I think even though someone relationships end, I think it’s so much better to controlled by love for another person than to be addicted to a chemical high.
we need these vibes back in 2021.
Yes, please! :D
I concur gallant. Stay safe.
Dude i woke up and this song was playing in my head for some reason. It's probably been over 10 years since i last heard it too it's amazing...
I think so too (ciao dall'Italia)
Yessss, please.
I love this woman! Her music takes me to a higher level....I turn it up and sing like I'm singing a duet with Macy...Macy music all day!!!!
Amy Winehouse reminds me of her
you rock Brent!
I did In fact rename Titan to MACY! What the fire truck?
Really! I consider her a one hit wonder unless you count the best theme song of my childhood (As Told By Ginger).
Hey guys?!
I'm looking for another singer of this song along with "the cooltrane quartet".
Would you happen to be able to tell me?
I thank the answer.
Ya know, it’s been probably 20 years since I’ve heard this song (or even thought about it). For some reason today, totally out of the blue, I started singing the chorus as I unloaded the dishwasher. An hour later I’m sitting in my living room watching this and crying like a baby and I have NO CLUE WHY
Lol
Maybe because you remember 20 years ago like it was yesterday and it makes you feel like time is flying by and you all have left are distant memories
Wow… that’s very …. encouraging (?) of you…
Actually same thing happened to me
You're tapped in babes! its a message from the universe..although their voice mails can be confusing. 💙 BE WELL. 🕯️
My first CD was this album and I'll forever be grateful for the lessons it taught me and the hard times it helped me survive. Thank you for existing Madam Macy Gray. ❤
Its 2019 and I'm at work. Macy gray walks in and tries to conceal her identity when asked for ID for a pack of smokes. she calls a friend over and immediately when she spoke it was a dead give away. I then sing a line from this song and she burst out laughing. Beautiful woman. My night has been made 5/5/2019❤.
Did you meet her bro ?
Do you have a selfie for support?
@@lukecraft5774 yes about a week ago.
@@MarioNiebles I didnt take one. I didnt wanna make her feel uncomfortable
Joeyl Lambert good thinking for not taking the photo or asking. But that’s so cool that you met her. Good luck to you in life .
Never have I ever heard a voice like her. She is truly unique in the music industry. Love her!
She does sound just a little bit like Billie Holiday.
Sounds a bit like daffy duck
jason charalambous lol not in any way.
Childish Gambino
Kayley Lindley her voice always reminded me of Ella Fitzgerald.
Love her husky voice 🤗😘🤗😘
My mom played this song again for me yesterday (im 32). We used to listen to this album when she'd drive me around when I was a kid.
Over 20 years later I've taken to a career in live music performance, and looking back at this album all those years later...My god, the writing, production, instrumental arrangement, the feel, all immaculate. What an incredible artist, and what a record this was. This is the peak of pop R&B and soul working in unison, timeless stuff. The Anderson Paaks of today owe it to artists like Macy Gray.
This song takes me back to a time when the world just seemed so simple and easy
That is just because we were too young to know any better
Sense when was the world easy? We were just all innocent and didn’t know much about the world.
Obama ruined america. This was the beginning of the end times
@@timweedon2785 you had to make it political?
It never was, you just were young and naive
This song is one of the purest classic songs ever, and brings back memories for me. God bless the queen Macy Gray!!👍🙏❤️
Damn, I love me some Macy Gray ❤❤ That raspiness in her voice resonates within my soul and spirit 💜 🔥 🔥
I love love love this Song. Pure Masterpiece ❤❤❤❤ They Just don't make music 🎶 like they used to. There's no feeling in today's music. Everything is so commercial.
You're such a underappreciated artist you have made some of the greatest music ever.
I absolutely fell in love with this song and also her unique voice!
+Breaking Julia I think that's why i like the song, because of her uniqueness of voice
+Breaking Julia I also have a unique voice.
+gemini Carolyn Love her
agreed! :)
+Breaking Julia The voice reeled me in also. The song is great too! I heard this on the radio and thought, Who is that? Never heard who, for a long time. Finally heard the name behind this great song. Macy Gray. I'm white, She's black. Our blood is the same color. Red. Goes for all races. We all bleed red. Many read the bible. And yet do not get it. Life is in the blood it states. I know you just were talking about this great song. Sorry. Can't help it sometimes. Racism makes me sick. It's stupid. We all come from one source. I just want all to realize that and love one another. But hard times are ahead for all of us before that happens. People just don't want to hear it. Thank you. I'll go away now.
"I Try" - lyrics
Games, changes, and fears
When will they go from here?
When will they stop?
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together, babe
But we're not
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front, just a front
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Here is my confession
May I be your possession
Boy, I need your touch
Your love kisses, and such
With all my might I try
But this I can't deny, deny
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
thanks!
Okay, looking at these great lyrics from this great song, I just have a question...what the heck does "fiendin" mean ? ? If someone can please explain. It must be a word to cool for me to be familiar with ! But I really want to know !
@@PatriciaMoreno-ff8pr fiending could mean craving or wanting. So she "plays it cool" but really, she wants the said person bad.
Either your the fiender or you're the supplier
i remember being maybe 6/7 years old and i was at the grocery store with my mom and this song was on. i danced up and down the aisles making up the choreography to match the lyrics 😂🥺 i loved this song so much, and still do. thank you macy 🙏🏼 ❤ core memory
Man memories. I was addicted to this song for many many years. I always thought it would have been epic if Macy Gray and Cee Lo Green would have did a duet.
BadAssSykO Yes, that needs to happen
Sia
BadAssSykO yes a duet oh my epic thought!!!
BadAssSykO I used to play this on repeat in my car and my grandson would whinge and moan all the way to school about it...lol he loathes this song but I still love it...and yep the dude in it is a babe..
What happened to cee lo
People really don’t understand how unique her voice is . Give her credit !
she has other amazing songs as well but this is my favorite.
I was just saying this! Her voice is extremely unique
🎉❤
I love her voice
Whenever I listen to this song, that image comes to mind and I cry...
she’s running to see him and he’s not there, ooooh right in the feels.

That's my girl, she has a unique voice. And was a decent actress!! Much love🌹❤️

+Tal Mamatov this was once my fave song ,... i was 12 x.x lol
This was a special time for music. So much nostalgia. Simpler times ❤
There is no one who has that voice, AMAZING she is funny, caring, giving and loving
It was around the year two thousand when this song 'I try' received grammy awards. great song.. I loved this song. Only Macy Grey can sing this song..
+DongRyul Kim Macy Gray and Andy Bernard
+Seth Kodikara Andy Bernard brought me here…

"I may appear to be free, but I'm just a prisoner. Of your love."
Literally the best and most true lyric of all time :(
Especially if the person doesn’t love you back
Sounds like a victim of domestic violence song
@@rebekah518 , listen to her song Still! That's domestic violence
Got to see her in Vancouver, opening for Bowie in 2004. She almost stole the show. Bowie didn't care. Great show IMHO
Am in here all by myself enjoying the best of tunes. it still gives me goosebumps in 2024. Thank you Macy,we love you from here
Music is the key to the soul my friend. I've been by myself for 5 years and music always pulls me through everything even if it takes some time.
"it could be a love song, but it's really a heartbreaker with a very personal story behind it. Macy Gray was signed to Atlantic Records in the mid-'90s as part of a rock band, but the album they made never got released. With her music career kaput, Gray became a secretary and married her boyfriend, a mortgage broker named Tracy Hinds. They had three children together but split up just as Gray got a solo deal with Epic Records. Many of the songs Gray wrote for her first album were about Hinds, including "I Try," where she explains that she wants to be strong and leave his memory behind, but can't bring herself to do so"
Real emotions too complicated to fake. It shows.
Bittersweet no doubt. Leaving behind everything you've loved for everything you've ever wanted.
This isn't my kinda music, but it's one of my favourite songs. Realness transcends taste.
@@gourmetwaters6916 well said.
thank you
Truth --- my guy produced it -- true -- what a sad mess people can make of something. Sad. :(
Sadly then OMG for album 2 -- so horrible 9-11 happened and ya know -- our poor world and the music biz just went who knows where. :(
This song came into my head today out of absolutly nowhere. I didnt realise how old it is, nice vibes.
My god, that voice. And on top of that, it sends you right back to the 90's. I miss watching this on the TV, in the night. Now I have youtube, and my temples are gray...
Thanks Macy! We need more artists with integrity x
I have always heard this song growing up but have never truly understood it until my very first girlfriend left. It makes me remember that sort of love that seemed as if it would outlast time. Everyday with her was like a daydream. I am truly greatful to have had these experiences with her.
^^^ Omg this is my life story lol
I do sincerely hope you find another soul who will make you feel the same way and this time never leave you.
Thanks
Yeah, thank you. I'll try.
The way you described the morning makes me feel like i was that third person sleeping it off.

Wonderful piece
Love this song, I can just let my heart flow into it. Macy performed this so well, that it seems almost like it's personal. It probably is.... and I can feel it.
Macy Gray was very underrated. 🔥🔥🔥
No, she was very popular when this song came out. Fame is fleeting.
Yeah she was real popular when this came out
40 million views now? and really famous then

Her voice is smooth as satin. So, to answer the question, "who's still listening?" the answer, who isn't?
Good description; however, I would say velvet.

I was in high school when I first time listening to this song. I thought It was just a catchy song. Until I been through a toxicant relationship, somehow the lyrics just came up in my head. I just can't stop crying when I realised how much I can relate to this song.
TOXIC
This brings back tears about a certain someone in my past, it will always be with me, this Memories of our love of each other. she will always have a place in my heart.
Its now 2020, who else loves this beautiful classic?
Always and forever
Yup it still in my playlist..love the classic

Song still gives me chills
I love this
3 years, i've been looking for this song for 3 YEARS and now i finally found it, y'all don't know how happy i am
Dude tell me about it about once every 2 years the song will pop my head in the only thing I can think of is she looks like the actress Wanda Sykes and that gives me nothing
imagine I that grew up with this artist s
🤣
I know that feeling
Her voice is simple AMAZING! She is so talented and I wish there was more genuine musical talent like hers in the world.
This song has been a favorite of mine since I bought this CD in high school, I think about 1998. My (grand)mum passed away in 2016. This song is ❤
Not only can she sing, she can act! ❤️ So talented this lady!
She's just absolutely beautiful to me. Her face is just so..... Real.... Her slightly slanted eyes, great cheek bones and wide smile....
You are right. She's extremely authentic. No fakeness at all what's not common in this dirty superficial music industry.
I totally agree. She is very beautiful.
Great cheekbones, great face.
Ive no idea why but this has just cleared my hangover.
This is one of my favourite songs ever.

99% of the time when i remember an old song that reminds me of things i come here to find it and no one has commented in like 10+ years. seeing so many recent comments for one of my favorite songs literally made my day and night.
i have felt so alone lately and hearing this song and reading the comments has kind of lifted me up a lot.
I remember when I was younger I never understood why she was wailing at 3:05.... but as an adult and living life, I get it Ms. Gray... I get it🙌🏾🙌🏾
Facts !!!!! This is a whole different Vibe listening as an Adult
When I am in deep pain. No one helps me ride through it like Macy Grays music ❤ thank you
I remember first hearing this on the radio when I was 17 back in the late 90s and was instantly hooked.
Those were good days for music.
😢
I was 15 then and didn't realise how spoilt for choice we were back then
My mom and I used to sing this song together when I was younger, she took her own life last month and I just started going through home movies & found a clip of us singing this 😭
😯😢😭 I extend my sincerest heartfelt condolences to you and your family, I've lost my mom as well( heart attack in her sleep) and I know how deep and painful the void is...
Sorry
