That's that one. Also the preganant "pause" picturing a time interval by then mentioning "damn your baby tall" . "So maybe no moon sky" which is what she hoped for "yet a beautiful Sun"( but she got a child out of it). Very clever that guy
This is the greatest Jay Z verse I've ever heard and in a long time fan of jay. There's been rumors about him having an illegitimate son with some island girl back in the day especially around the time this song came out. if listen with that in mind his verse makes sense and gives it so much more meaning. Straight chills.
What are some of ya'll talking about, jay killed this. Its a remix. Sade was asking the question and jay gave a deep ass answer. This is a great combination
sherisa little I can tell you, someone took a great Sade song, listened to it while they looked at a picture of jay-z, and then had a bowel movement, and this is what was produced.
I agree with you both. Jay-Z, in my opinion, is a talented lyricist because he knows how to layer his verses well. Some "lyrical" artist sometimes go straight for the fences so to speak. Jay is a master at the entendre and creating the easy to get metaphor, but behind that metaphor is a deeper meaning, then something else hidden behind that. Not many rappers do that very well. They either are very simple, or ultra-deep. Each one is fine, but to tie the two together I think is more impressive.
Jay-Z's verse was definitely on point! And to have him on the record brings more ears to her music who hadn't heard her before. Both versions of the song are amazing, but Jay's feature was executed perfectly.
Honestly i don't get how people can say that Jay's verse wasn't fitting? if you love Sade so much, you would get why she picked him. Jay's ability to make a verse sound so simple while being complex is his strength. Reason why he is known as the master of double entendre. I'm not a fan of R&B much but with Jay on there, it sounds like a masterpiece of lyrics. I'm thinking people who just don't like Jay on it should listen to Sade's only version and leave this version to those who can truly appreciate the mashing of both artist's intellectual and lyrical abilities.
Damn.. Sade is so soulful.. I love her message.. it's so deep and poetic. This is the kind of music Nicki Minaj Fans hate.... Jay did his thing.. Im a big Jay-Z fan. and this just hits the heart. Im going through some sh!t wit da baby momma.. and this is what im talking bout right here..... Perfect Song..
I met Sade at a party in the 90's such a beautiful graceful lady. I never knew this song would hol such resonance, I was crazy in love 💞 with a man I could never be with, living I Ibiza watching sunset's. My endless sky xx
This song makes me cry EVERYTIME i hear it. It brings back memories when i was very hurt from my past relationship. I loved him to much. He hurt me so bad.. Even though he hurt me; i wanted to be with him no matter what happend, i was always there. And i gave so much into that relationship.. I lost myself. I gave everything to him.. and he just would always push me away.. I hope one day he realizes what a great girl he once had.. :/ I love & miss you
Lol Don’t know we people have a problem with a REMIX with JAY ! The other song is still there . People been doing REMIXES for years . If you don’t like it LISTEN TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION . As for me and my house WE LIKE BOTH ! 😂😂
This guy just said; "My door is always open but, our window is closed." So fitting, and perfect for this song. I would have never thought that this song could be layered with some rap verses but, Jay never fails.
Just appreciate that the greatest rapper ever is gracing his presence on Sade's track..listen to his lines and how clever the dude is...very versatile lyrics..he can bang and he can tone it down like he did here...if someone has the most #1 solo albums of any solo artist in the history of music (Jay-Z, 12 #1 albums), wouldnt you want to sing with 'em? Apparently they're doing something right. Yes???
i have a wicked visual for this song. i would love to make it one day just to give it out to the world so they can all get their own message from the visual. for now tho it just looks great in my head.
THIS SONG GIVES ME LIFE I CAN'T HELP BUT TO LISTEN TO IT DOZENS OF TIMES DAILY B4 I GET MY FIX!!!! EVEN THOUGH THIS SONG IS OLD I JUST DISCOVERED IT A WEEK AGO AND EVER SINCE I JUST HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT AT LEAST A COUPLE DOZEN TIMES ON REPEAT THE BEAT IS MESMERIZING AND THE LYRICAL FLOW IS SYK!!!! NOW I'M MAD I AINT BEEN KNOWN ABOUT THIS SONG
Anybody that knows good music especially someone who knows hip hop is going to listen to Jay Z's lyrics and know that he did an outstanding job he is a legend to.
Great collaboration! True artist never loose their identity or greatness when trying to give the listeners something different .. its important for music to stay relevant to the consumers that are buying albums and going to concerts. I am proud of Sade and Jay-Z for putting the fans first and their ego's aside to entertain true fans of great music wit what I believe will be a hit! Great Job !!!
"...As God as my witness, timin’ was my mistress I guess it’s in the stars for me to love you from a distance..." "...Was it somethin’ I done? Somethin’ I could do better although nothin’ could be done Sometimes you get what you need Now what you think you want? So baby no moon and sky, got a beautiful sun" Sade + Jigga man = Beautiful Music!
This is the essence of what musicians do, features and collaborations are a big part of the business. Kanye west and Katie parry have a song. “ET” at the time was his biggest song to date. Collaborations are usually the introduction to listening to an artist you have never see or listened to before. A cross over of fans makes for many song break with a bigger push released
There's a legion of people who r definitely "not knowing" or basically "unaware" of sublime artistry & the magnitude in which it is conveyed, & accepted. When an artist possesses the ability 2 put u n a state of awe with every song & the stroke of a pen 4 over 2 decades.. u have 2 think "Unsurpassed". These songs might I add don't just put u n a state of awe; most of them are "TIMELESS". When I c a comment that says Sade should b grateful, it's the other way around; Jay asked Sade 4 this duet.
Haven’t heard this song in years.. I remembered why I loved it so much! I think 40 killed the beat and JayZ lyrics were very fitting with the best. Anyone hating doesn’t appreciate beautiful music. Sade OK’d this!
How are you people going to say her music shouldn't be tampered with, uhm if Sade didn't want this to happen then she wouldn't have Jay feature on it, y'all crack me up telling her what to do with HER music, if you don't like it....why did you click on it, move on please instead of having pointless arguments
Sade has class and so has all of her band too, that is rare to see today many doesn't even know what that is. But Sade and her band is real proffessional musicians and they are humble about it. Long live Sade!
Why is everyone bashing Jay? Chances are Sade personally approached him about a feature, and unless your ear drums aren't working right, there's no way you can honestly say his verse didn't make this song better....
Your comment so on point and now with all the new information about his daughter someone mentioned this song about him referencing a child being as tho an alleged son came forth a while ago. Smh I believe he has a few seeds.
I love how people hate jay-z, because most of those people cant comprehend his lyrics.......its like they fly over their heads. Poor people :( theyre missin out!
Haven't u ever wondered how & why an artist from the early 80's can still have a world tour & sell out concerts in 2011? It's because of "PURE UNADULTERATED TALENT" & admiration that would allow this type of respect of peers, media, consumers & fans. The old school already know about the phenomenal band called "SADE". Before making premature comments, I urge the new schoolers 2 listen 2 Sade & really explore their music 2 discover y so many think their better unassisted by other artists'. 1 Luv
Im so happy i can cry my life is complete Sade is back i can die happy now i missed her so much she was my best friend for over 15 years no one can replace her ever
'I Guess it's in the stars for me to love you from a distance' Jay Z nailed it. Sade and Jay can never go wrong. One of them night time joint #classic
love that also
That's that one. Also the preganant "pause" picturing a time interval by then mentioning "damn your baby tall" . "So maybe no moon sky" which is what she hoped for "yet a beautiful Sun"( but she got a child out of it). Very clever that guy
I'll never get enough of this. Thank you for releasing this. You'll forever be a legend Sade.

Gives me chills everytime! It's amazing to me. Speaks to my soul.

Sade is a wonderful artist. She doesn't need a hip hop beat behind any of her music, even if it is Jay-Z.
Nobody is above Jay-Z. Sade has a beautiful voice(: This song is amazing(:
I am the moon and you are the endless sky 🧡💚
What are some of ya'll talking about, jay killed this. Its a remix. Sade was asking the question and jay gave a deep ass answer. This is a great combination
Jaz absolutely killed this!
Agreed👍🏾
Yeah, he killed it, alright - with infantile lyrics. What an abomination.
this song makes me cry. has such a tragic feel to it
I’m so interested in HOW this came to be.
Genius
sherisa little I can tell you, someone took a great Sade song, listened to it while they looked at a picture of jay-z, and then had a bowel movement, and this is what was produced.
@@drewjeers3301 lmfao😭

When 40's synth and strings chime in at 3:34 that's some moving shit.
Shit how did you pick that up?
can't tell if being sarcastic lol, but a lot of 40's stuff is on the low end or just really quiet
I guess life really does have a way of showing very valuable lessons
Jay-Z's verse was definitely on point!
And to have him on the record brings more ears to her music who hadn't heard her before.
Both versions of the song are amazing, but Jay's feature was executed perfectly.

I agree! I love the original..and Im not a huge fan of Jayz, but his verse perfect in this track! This remix is just as good as the original. Classy.
not to mention Noah 40 Shebibs amazing production...
marinas2003 He's a classic that guy
True
kva5004 she picked Jay because it would get her name out there more. More publicity.
Damn.. Sade is so soulful.. I love her message..
it's so deep and poetic. This is the kind of music
Nicki Minaj Fans hate....
Jay did his thing.. Im a big Jay-Z fan. and this just hits the heart.
Im going through some sh!t wit da baby momma..
and this is what im talking bout right here.....
Perfect Song..
Awesome production and Jay Z's brilliant guest verse gives the song even more depth... Not to mention Sade's timeless voice!
jz sucked wtf. listen to cashmere thoughts. thats a hit
Ian Jackson you gay as hell. This is a different vibe song
+Ian Jackson and a different Jay
Still listening to this in 2019!!!
Meh, the original was better. JayZ doesn't add anything to this.
Kai 2020
@Sade you really laid it down on this!!!
I met Sade at a party in the 90's such a beautiful graceful lady. I never knew this song would hol such resonance, I was crazy in love 💞 with a man I could never be with, living I Ibiza watching sunset's. My endless sky xx

Going through something similar...
Does it get easier? Do they ever return to give closure?
Jay's verse is awesommmmme
Love u soooo much Sade the Queen of soul 👑🇬🇧💯
Classic even in 2020 Sade as a person is a musical blessing!

I swear Jay is reading my diary right now! Two of my favorite people on this beautiful track. LOVE IT!
He simply complexly ate this song alive
This song is so legit I love love love this song

Greatest of all time jay z
"...As God as my witness, timin’ was my mistress
I guess it’s in the stars for me to love you from a distance..."
"...Was it somethin’ I done?
Somethin’ I could do better although nothin’ could be done
Sometimes you get what you need
Now what you think you want?
So baby no moon and sky, got a beautiful sun"
Sade + Jigga man = Beautiful Music!
*NOT* what you think you want
I'm so glad that she could articulate my exact feelings... Wow I needed this song!!
Sometimes you get what you need/ not what you think you want/so maybe no moon and sky/ yet a beautiful sun (son) - JAY-Z
nice ending
best song ever !!!

I can’t believe she collaborated with him. 😎
sade and jay z music gives me chills this is like two of my favourite arstists on one jam two different genres!!! thats like a double shot!!!
This Song Means: I Love You ~
Timeless
This song is clearly under-rated and not celebrated enough.... come on
Nice, and Jay Z's verse was on point...Bravo!!!
this song is deep, glad i truly get it..
Haven’t heard this song in years.. I remembered why I loved it so much! I think 40 killed the beat and JayZ lyrics were very fitting with the best. Anyone hating doesn’t appreciate beautiful music. Sade OK’d this!
i'm still listening too in december 2019....we miss you sade
How are you people going to say her music shouldn't be tampered with, uhm if Sade didn't want this to happen then she wouldn't have Jay feature on it, y'all crack me up telling her what to do with HER music, if you don't like it....why did you click on it, move on please instead of having pointless arguments
So maybe no Moon&Sky... got a beautiful sun... or son double intrigue
This song is so deep full of raw emotion touching every inch of my soul!!!
iLOVE Sade && this song!!! JayZ was a nice addition to it! Good Do!!!
jay-z verse was wicked
It sucked. Ruined a Sade song.
For the wicked lol
That persona ask for to much lol the hate reduced pls
On God
I agree it made this song even better, loved it!!!

A great song
Beautiful song. Nice collabo.
Damn jay verse hit home 😢
2 of the greatest team up for a classic, this is ill, this made me go and pre order Sade's Ultimate Collection, its available on may 5
This is such an underrated song. Jayz verse was poetic.
I love this song ❤
59,937 people are F**KING awesome !!!!!!!!
Sade has class and so has all of her band too, that is rare to see today many doesn't even know what that is. But Sade and her band is real proffessional musicians and they are humble about it. Long live Sade!
Masterpiece
love you aunty sade, we're all soo proud of you xxxxxxxxxxxx
i am hooked...oh wait...it's sade....everyone is.
Original and remix.. both are amazing !!! 💖
Why is everyone bashing Jay? Chances are Sade personally approached him about a feature, and unless your ear drums aren't working right, there's no way you can honestly say his verse didn't make this song better....
Jay Z killed that shit! He was referencing his relationship with his 1st baby mama who gave birth to a son. Guess he had to get that off his chest.
Your comment so on point and now with all the new information about his daughter someone mentioned this song about him referencing a child being as tho an alleged son came forth a while ago. Smh I believe he has a few seeds.
At first I was apprehensive, but I'm feeling it. Love Sade!!
love this song! such amazing lyric's!
Epic Remix .. and jay z part fits really gooooood :))) .. keep up the good work ..
This is why Jay-Z is the Goat
Noah "40" shebib killed it with this beat!
Wow! I always thought this song had a Drake and 40 vibe to it! I was right on point and didn’t even know it
As a matter of fact it transcends many levels across many social societies & it is what it is...
Such a beautifully grim real reflection of unconditional lost love😔
this song makes me cry. describes my last relationship perfectly #8years *sigh*
I love how people hate jay-z, because most of those people cant comprehend his lyrics.......its like they fly over their heads. Poor people :( theyre missin out!
THERE'S A REASON WHY ONLY 45 PPL HATED THIS ...AND ALMOST A THOUSAND PPL LIKE IT...EVERYBODY HAS A ROLE TO PLAY AND THE HATERS GOTTA DO THEY JOB
Im in love! =)
This was sumthin quick.
SADE. .A lot of rappers wanted 2 do sumthin wit her. She declined them all. That song is Truth
oh Sade.....oh Sade....You are wonderful
Very nice remix
love this song

I know I personally know the real SUPER PRODUCER OF THE TRACK

SADE R.U.L.E.S. NEVER FORGET.
