I was on a casual movie date with someone I worked with and was super nervous. This song was playing before the previews in the theater. It brings back such a good memory! I remember how handsome he looked and the smell of the cologne he was wearing that night. He's now been my husband for almost 18 years and this song still gives me all the butterflies from that night.
That piano is insane, its like a drug. I liked this song when I was 12. Im 32 now and I just absolutely can't get enough of it. Every year that passes, I love it more and more. Its honestly one of my favorite songs of all time. Call me crazy but sometimes it makes me cry.
This is a rare example of a well acted music video where the song, premise in the video and overall storyline coincide brilliantly. You never get to see it.
3:30, back when they used to have the vocals and harmonies in the background lingering like falling asleep while still talking on the phone to your lover and waking up to each other the next morning. They don't make deep sounds in music like this anymore. This is amazing
She rieled him in like a fishing rod. Women forgot how to pull guys now they shy and never make the first move because some think it make them look desperate.
I LOVED this part of her career, she was this quiet looking, introverted beauty who has this soulful, gut punching voice that you just feel; that unassuming smile is such a vibe.
My mom passed away in 2003. This was one of the songs that she blasted in the car. I come and listen to it to get a piece of those moments. Wonderful song!
It sucks to have a crush on someone and I can’t do anything about it. Time to find someone. I’m sure someone is crushing on you gorgeous he just hasn’t said anything. Some men respect women. Hope you find what your looking for
There is something magical in this song... It makes me feel like I do something beautiful for the first time in my life, doesn't matter how many times I listen to it. I MEAN the song, the chorus, the softness of her voice, the style, the piano,the phone call, THE SOULNESS is at 100%
I just came to post the same thing... I mean dude, you are not paying attention to Alicia just because you have that crazy diet, Fried Fish on special, and a Hot Chocolate... that is a laxative!
Everything about this song was everything from the melody to the harmony and of course the video actually related to the song. I will still be rocking this when I'm 80 on my front porch. This song is exactly how a crush feels, no matter how young or old.
It's Christmas Eve 2024 and I'm still listening to this incredible tune. From 3:40 on it becomes an epic piece of art. They don't make that kind of songs any more and that sort of classy woman is definitely too rare in today's life. Alicia's interpretation and Kanye's production make this a unique masterpiece.
This songs hold a really special part of my heart for me. Every single time I play this song, it gets me emotional! From the beautiful production to the amazing voice Alicia has!
@@sjpatrik2 me too, Im not sure what it is about this tune, the melody? her voice? the arrangement? I think it reminds me of a tune from the late 70s that probably doesnt even exist ... If you get me
@@bobjary9382 i get what you mean haha I love this song for similar reasons And i‘m not an alicia keys fan at all, this is the only song i like actually
@@Aristocat-123 Yeah. Her other stuff is OK and she's very handsome in the video but it's the combination of everything that makes this tune so complete. (In fact my least favourite bits if I had to have one are the over fussy piano runs... Sorry Alicia)
Kanye, Alicia, John, and Mos Def, all a part of this Classic. Kanye has since lost his mom and is not the same. Mos Def got stuck in South Africa, changed his name to Yasiin Bey, and he still has that Swag. And Alicia and John Legend seem happy with their spouses and children.
one detail about this song/video that always stuck out to me was the way Mos Def orders the hot chocolate. There's something so pure about a grown man routinely ordering a hot chocolate but the way he hesitates because he's embarrassed to be ordering it but Alicia just sees it as his little trademark with no judgment because she's enamored with him is really cute.
She's one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. And you can't say it's the makeup cuz when she choose to go natural I felt like that even more. Swizz is one lucky dude.
Alicia always had the best videos of her era. This one was probably her most memorable ones from her early days. She definitely could do acting...she plays all of her characters well..and she always had the best love interest playing opposite her. This song still hits.
This song is one of my favorites by Alicia Keys. Her "speech" at the end calling the guy is classic. I was single years ago and that as a man, I appreciate how vulnerable she is when she makes the call to ask him out. That is real stuff that guys who like someone often feel. I wish I had understood then that women are just as nervous as men when it comes to relationships. Even though I am married now, I look back and appreciate how hard it must be to be single today and how hard it can be to express romantic interest to someone without fully knowing what the response will be. Kudos to Alicia Keys for such a great song and for communicating that feeling.
Man idgaf how hard life get, I will neverrrrrrr chase after and pursue any man . 🥴🤨 HE should be chasing me if he’s THAT interested. Even if he is shy & nervous.
What I love about this song and video is how believable the story is. Like Alicia is so in the moment and her smile as she is singing the words and how much she Really wants him to know her name! Love everything about this!!! I love that she took matters into her own hands and went after what she wanted!!!
For sure. As a guy, I appreciated her honesty and willingness to "go for it". He might not have known of her interest or may have just been respectful from seeing her at the diner. It is ok for a woman to ask him out sometimes (or at least give obvious hints of her interest)...lol...
@@morrismaxwell9621 it’s definitely ok my guy… not many women will agree to this but it’s ok for a woman to go after a man every once in a while especially if they had some sort of genuine connection
@@dp3220girl go for it cause I told this man I have a crush at him at work and now we have lunch together and cuddle from time to time . He don’t even try to do anything with me he respects me . I’m the one being toxic cause I want him so bad but he said he not in a rush . So I love that 😊 get what u want boo . Manifest that shit ! Cause I swear I did before telling him.
I love this part with a passion : “Doin' more than I've ever done for anyone's attention Take notice of what's in front of you 'Cause did I mention, you're 'bout to miss a good thing And you'll never know how good it feels to have all of my affection And you'll never get a chance to experience my lovin' ow 'Cause my lovin' feels like oooo” So timeless 🪄 🤩
Since this song fist came out, I would blast it in my car. Such a freaking dope song and the fact that Mos Def is in this video shows you the sheer talent between these two!
Alicia Keys did not have the courage to call Michael (Mos Def) in the song and tell him about her feelings, and Kanye encouraged her to do it. Just watched Alicia Keys & John Legend's Verzuz, , and heard them talk about it.
Beautiful song. This is very similar to how my wife and I met each other. I was a security guard at the place where she worked. At first, I worked on the opposite end of the plant. Then situations happened that put me on the main entrance where she drove in. When she saw me, she would slow down and say, "cheer up,why you looking so depressed?" Little did I know, she was digging me then. But then, about a few weeks later, I was placed to work inside the very building she worked in. She didn't know that until she returned from vacation. But before she started talking to me, several of her coworkers told her things about me, because when she was still on vacation they each asked me different questions, you know, "gathering intel" then relayed that all that to her. So, she began stopping at my station to talk to me during her breaks. We went on our first date to see a movie. This was back in 1989. Then we went out the next night, I took her to a nice restaurant on the beach, we had our first kiss, the sparks flew from there and we were married the next year. We were married 32 years. She passed away August 2023. I miss her very much.
"This is the server from the Mcdonalds, You come in every Wednesday on your lunch break I think? and you always order the McNuggets, with the Mcflurry, and my manager be trippin and stuff, talking bout we gotta say the machine is broken, but I always got the machine working for you, cause I think you're kinda sweet."
One of the many, many, MANY things I love about Alicia Keys is that she can always create an air of intimacy, passion, desire, and sensuality without stripping her clothes and twerking everywhere. Not saying the latter is bad it's just nice to be reminded that sensuality and sexuality take many forms.
I was in my teens, and I had a crush on Alicia Keyz. When this song played on the radio, I'd close my eyes and imagine she's talking to me. Funny enough, weeks ago I was thinking about this song and the good times, and today it got recommended to me.
I love it when a woman takes the initiative and makes the first move sometimes it doesn't mean she is fast to me, it just means she know what she wants. Most women don't.
@BADAZZTHANG Nah, women and men don't know what they want, they just know how the feel. If you're smart enough you can manipulate how people feel and get what you want.
@@kesavvzD The Main Ingredient - Let Me Prove My Love To You (1975)…. Kanye sampled the mid-end sections of that to create this master piece. Kanye’s productions from 2002-2005 were all just 🔥🔥

that's my favorite part
This, whenever I hear that part I do the claps she used to do in live performances and everything lmao
Most Def
Love this lyrics
I think she looks AMAZING in this video!! Gives me butterflies in my tummy 💕❤!!!
This is exactly how it feels when you have a crush
isatou sinera hi
That’s facts
Literally 😫
Never Swear, says JESUS CHRIST.
Facts!!!!! Having a crush makes you feel like a teenager all over again 😂
Mos Def very underrated, magnificent actor!
I #AGREE!😇🙏💯💕
Be kind rewind is a good movie with him
I like him a lot as an actor. Brown Sugar, The Italian Job, 16 Blocs are my movies. He stole the scenes every time he appears in those movies
Feels brand new everytime💫
Since this song fist came out, I would blast it in my car. Such a freaking dope song and the fact that Mos Def is in this video shows you the sheer talent between these two!
@Mellissa the Boomer & Dark Side of the Tune oh mod definitely (no pun intended) he’s great.
Yasiin is such a legend as is Alicia. Amazing song and video! Shoutout Yeezy on the prod
Thank you Kanye West for producing this beat and thank you Alicia Keys for blessing this beat with beautiful vocals
And thank you Mos Def for blessing this video with your fine self.
Kayvelli lmfao
John Legend in the back vocals too ^.^
Junior Leon yes, i can't believe i forgot about him lol
Kanye and Alicia producing this together is just golden. People can say what they want about the man but he was such a musical genius during this era.
Wait Kanye produced this? Now that’s gold.
E
....Still
@@huntrrams yes he did
Alicia Keys did not have the courage to call Michael (Mos Def) in the song and tell him about her feelings, and Kanye encouraged her to do it. Just watched Alicia Keys & John Legend's Verzuz, , and heard them talk about it.
😂😂. The "hold on, my phone is breaking up" part is insane😅😅... man that ole skool R&B was everything and the videos were lit❤
This is her GREATEST SONG IN MY OPINION.
Without question
Thanks to Kanye west who wrote the song
I get goosebumps every time I hear this masterpiece
OH yes Jonathan.
Francine Mitchell It’s one of those songs you can listen to on repeat and never get tired of. Perfect from top to bottom ❤️
ME TOO! I LOVE THIS SONG!!! YESSSS ALICIA!!!
I see hearts in the atmosphere 😌
I do too, what a wonderful song ♥️♥️
This is when she did her best music.
Yes
Beautiful song. This is very similar to how my wife and I met each other. I was a security guard at the place where she worked. At first, I worked on the opposite end of the plant. Then situations happened that put me on the main entrance where she drove in. When she saw me, she would slow down and say, "cheer up,why you looking so depressed?" Little did I know, she was digging me then. But then, about a few weeks later, I was placed to work inside the very building she worked in. She didn't know that until she returned from vacation. But before she started talking to me, several of her coworkers told her things about me, because when she was still on vacation they each asked me different questions, you know, "gathering intel" then relayed that all that to her. So, she began stopping at my station to talk to me during her breaks. We went on our first date to see a movie. This was back in 1989. Then we went out the next night, I took her to a nice restaurant on the beach, we had our first kiss, the sparks flew from there and we were married the next year. We were married 32 years. She passed away August 2023. I miss her very much.
What a beautiful story, may she rest in peace.
@Jimi_jumbo Thank you

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I can't
This comment is underrated lol
Urban Habesha I had to subscribe to you after this 😂😂😂
Love it!
Urban Habesha 😂
How.... How.... HOW does she look flawless in a hair net and a apron?
.......like that...... 😉
Vanessa Shantae ong
It’s custom made to look flawless
She is alycia keys...😏 what else do you need to know..
And a great make up artist probably.
That's what made her so damn special when I was a teenager.
One of the many, many, MANY things I love about Alicia Keys is that she can always create an air of intimacy, passion, desire, and sensuality without stripping her clothes and twerking everywhere. Not saying the latter is bad it's just nice to be reminded that sensuality and sexuality take many forms.
Syryu Right...
Yes
Yes! Bang on!!! True beauty right therrr
soooo trueeee
Well said. Nice to know someone else can see modesty is respectful.
I was in my teens, and I had a crush on Alicia Keyz. When this song played on the radio, I'd close my eyes and imagine she's talking to me.
Funny enough, weeks ago I was thinking about this song and the good times, and today it got recommended to me.
She’s genuinely so beautiful
Really 😍😍😍😍
Not your stuff.
Hands.
I love it when a woman takes the initiative and makes the first move sometimes it doesn't mean she is fast to me, it just means she know what she wants. Most women don't.
Good to know
@BADAZZTHANG Nah, women and men don't know what they want, they just know how the feel. If you're smart enough you can manipulate how people feel and get what you want.
We know what we want but we chill until what we want wants us.
That's the thing. It's a gamble. Not every guy likes that.
When you remember a song because of the video... then that was a well done video. The story, setting, costuming all works very well and is relatable.
It’s actually the beginning of my real story with an unmatched relationship that started in 2012 and still valid to this day🥰
Most Def making a appearance was a huge deal back then
Still hits the soul every key 🔥🔥🔥
This was the absolute best song she ever recorded. Classic.
Video: 10
Vocals:10
Sample song: 10
Just an overall Perfect record
What’s the sample song
@@kesavvzD The Main Ingredient - Let Me Prove My Love To You (1975)…. Kanye sampled the mid-end sections of that to create this master piece.
Kanye’s productions from 2002-2005 were all just 🔥🔥
Without a doubt, just a beautiful song.
@@maryland77 Thanks for the info. Just listened to the original.
Alicia is an all-time beauty
Who the hell could not like this song? Alicia is so sensual and on fire in this song...
I'll tell ya, someone who's life is a mess
