After listening to this, now I can move forward in my life after being used, lied on, lied to, and verbal abused as a child and an as a young adult man. Thank You Lalah for this song for inspiration and healing my mind, body, and soul.
I've been listing to Lalah Hathaway since her first album release in 1990.she truly is blessed with a voice from heaven. Her music is superior and takes you to a differnt place
Tears and Joy, at the same dam time... Letting Go is hard, Moving On is Fearful , Starting Over is Scary...A bad breakup can fill you with all types of emotions. This song is healing my soul. I gotta move on, " THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW'
Finally! Ms Lalah received her just due at the Grammy Awards 2017! Best R & B Album (Lalah Hathaway Live) and Best Traditional R & B Performance (Angel).
BEAUTIFUL......... Ms. Hathaway........🙏🌹 This song is a message for someone, by someone. Words are loud and clear. So much you truly didn't know back then, but now growing in Christ, confidence and self-love. now you know. and that's amazing. 2-20-24.
What an on time song for me. After 25 years of life's obstacles and toxic relationships I still never gave up on black men. Reminds me of the feeling I feel when he calls and texts....he makes time for me not call when he can. Finally he found me but it was only after I discovered my self worth and beauty. #lessons
I'm so glad you didn't give up on us because there is nothing like black love . The struggles that we go through in life if we can find the way to come together makes it well worth it.
Felecia Eddins I think I’m having the same experience I just have to keep waiting until god says so but the wait is so hard praying I get through this!!
@@lacscybolesplayerthebeast8806 you will and blessings are always in the waiting process. It builds something wonderful in you. Beautiful things take time. Be encouraged
Thanks to your mom. I have done the same to my daughter. She is into old school and feels sorry for her 3 year old son and how she won't be able to relate to his songs.
"It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers (through my fingers . . . umm) So long ago so much that I didnt know (so much that I didnt know) Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how How to move on that was then and this is now " AMEN

Her voice carries peace with it a calm one gives who is in a position to make things better in ur life or at least make u feel like it gonna b ok just breath and let time take its course to ur betterment Gotten me through a time or 2 love her.
I could listen to this angel sing and cry all my troubles out. This song is good for all of us, from the inside out. Keep listening until you believe ...
This song is REAL relevant in my life right now. So very much that I didn't know. Trusting God for patience and direction. Haven't given up, eyes forward and toward the prize!
This great tune brings me back to a time when i was caught in a woman's rapture. I been on this earth for a while so i thought i knew a thang or two about a thang or two. Family let me tell you i got played and schooled and her listens was hard.... Any man who tells you he's never been played is lying. We all been there. Stevie Wonder sung about her [ Rocket love ] Rick James wrote about her [ Super freak] and my man Prince had a blissful moment [ Darlin Nikki ] but that was then this is now....
Love's rapture....it's so bittersweet. One thing is for certain: if you haven't heard the different beats that your heart makes, then you have never felt true love. Unfortunately, if your heart is genuine and the one whom you desire isn't the same, that rapture will surely carry you away. 😉
At every stage of life I come back to this song... it's part of my life's theme music. ❤ still so thankful for all it's helped bring me through ... my inner gps.
Crazy how true this song is. When my ex and I broke up and I felt my whole world was crashing down. Now I've moved on and SOOOO much happier. Its only been a few months but it seems like a lifetime ago.
PuRe QuaLity Lalah Hathaway, this cuT just touches the parts, rewind and hit the Charts 👠 🎤🎶🎵🎧🔉🔊👍💽📈 YoU done it then and can sure do it Now!! Wow!! Your a GeM, Meaningful Voice 10/10 knuff respect Craig Seymour for uPLoading DisC one's not to mis$.
It so many things I know now at the age of 25 that I wish I knew at 22. Makes me sad I'm just now learning it but somethings I know now people don't even learn at the age of 50
+justin scott As someone a little older I can tell you Life is about Learning, and Rebounding. If you're fortunate you can make the same comment for the next 30, 40, & 50 years - I just lost my Dad at 93. There's so much we don't know in this life...
I am over 50 and you are ON It! Some of us won't learn until it's time to leave this Earth. I just want to do right by my loved ones and be good to the people I meet on the way. I've got to be good. I hear you!
I first heard this song about three years ago on a quiet storm segment on the radio . I loved it instantly but would not hear it again until now. I didn't get the name of it so had some difficulty in tracking it down even though i knew it was the unmistakable voice of Lalah Hathaway. Finally I've found it and its just an absolute beautiful piece of music. I feel the same way i did that first night on hearing it .
Such a…heavenly voice. I am a 72yo sax player out of Huntsville,Al. One of dreams/goals is to perform with Layla. The World is big but it is small. Watch this space. Art Tysen
Just seen her in concert at the Queen City Jazz Festival in Charlotte last week. She is just beautiful, soulful and soultry. I been a fan of her since day one. The 70 people that voted thumbs down must have a hearing problem

A Soul-Angel is what you are, Lalah. What a gorgeous gift you have. You got it from your pops.
This song calms my soul and allows me to think about the good things happening in my life.

Love's rapture....it's so bittersweet. One thing is for certain: if you haven't heard the different beats that your heart makes, then you have never felt true love. Unfortunately, if your heart is genuine and the one whom you desire isn't the same, that rapture will surely carry you away. 😉

+Sequonda Wright Sweet wisdom.
Amazing voice so warm….. her music lifts me up, still need to see you live in concert!!!!
