I remember a few days after my Boyfriend passed this song came on. I was laying on my bed crying. This song always reminds me of him. I can now listen to this song without crying.. But I feel he is speaking to me through your beautiful words. Beautiful song Common. ❤️💃🥺

WHEN YOU FIND THE ONE THAT MAKES YOUR HEART SMILE!!!!💐💐💐 LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!🤎🤎🤎 I'M TIRED OF THE FAST LANE,,,I WANT YOU TO HAVE MY LAST NAME!!!!💍💍💍 TIMELESS CLASSIC BY COMMON W/MARY J.!!!! C
@@makaveliuk86 I love your comment, it's true Common raising everything awareness. His music video's "The Light" with Erykah Badu and "The People" shows his real empathy for the others.
This video not only shows a strong representation of love but a strong and encouraging community. This is rare in today's time but I'm sure we'll get there.
Creativity and originality has gone this was the last era of greatness after the incredible 90’s. Humanity is on a steady decline and it will reflect in every department including music. These are the end times!
On sum real shit this song still brings tears to my eyes because im sole believer of love. I have yet to find my true love but i will never lose faith she's on her way. This song is definition of love trust and commitment....
Back around this time, this song would be on the mainstream radio stations. Nowadays. the industry would be like "Naw.....doesn't have enough sexual innuendos and explicitness".
I was 22 years old when I first saw this video. I cried happy tears because Common went out of his way to serenade her with sweet words and pictures. Love should always be like that.
this song is what we need today to show love, in this world, common hit big with this song, but its very true, let us love people, jesus is love lets love one another.
+perry austin jr jesus is the answer to life! i got saved and commited to christ in 1998 peace and god bless PSWIF ONE since 1999... Common is the best!
jnefitema yep read John 3:16 please. Its really sad when they reject Jesus and His Love. I want everybody to go to Heaven but it ain't going to happen. I wouldn't wish hell on no one not even my enemies no matter what they done. But God is the only Judge!
I’ve always admired this song. I’ve always wanted a love like this. Now I have it!😊 Wait on God people. Work on yourself before God sends the ONE He has for you. I’m a witness. God bless.❤️
Siiiiii I agree sisters. Their are men that stand up to the principles and precepts of love our mothers taught us as young men especially our exemplar Christ. Please walk and reflect the endearing light which is in the incorruptible spirit of the heart. Men keep your integrity too the one's you take as compliments in life. Love and cherish them as they truly are our loving life partners. Admire, adore and assign them honor.
It's 2023....what type of animals have we turned into?? No love... No relationships.... No fidelity.... No families... No respect for one another.... Man....
These type of songs hit a certain generation even more than just sounding good. It may have looked corny back when it came out, but listening to it now, and watching the video its really heart-gripping. still in a hood, but one where respect for grownups is present in how nice its kept up
They are one of the greatest and most influential of all time .. some of the best producers and grammy winners like Tyler the Creator dedicate their career to them. Some of the most creative producers of now would not be here without The Neptunes or A Tribe Called Quest. 🙏🏽
I can't believe it's been 14 years since this came out I was in highschool when this was out. I didn't like it back then but I love it now, that I've gotten older.
It gets me every time! This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my life. Mary J's and Pharell's vocals give me goose bumps and bring tears to my eyes every time I play this song. And the video is also beautiful. The colors, the story, the performance. Congratulations Common, Mary J., producers, songwriters, director, actors, for a beautiful piece of art!
Wow that's how fucking old I officially am now...some young kid thinks this was made in the God damned 80's bhahaha. I wasn't even born until the late 80's yet my first love used to always sing this to me...but apparently to the young people 31 and 58 are essentially the same in terms of oldness lmao

This literally what you call a PERFECT song. I get the same FEELING every single time I listen to it. It touches the SOUL! And EVERYone on the song delivered from the Neptunes production, Common flow and cadence and Mary J Blige beautifully laid vocals. Definitely in my top 10 songs of all time!
Not gonna lie but on the right day the beauty of this song can make you cry.. my guy Common and Mary j did their thing right here!.. we need more poetic music like this # Mad Props💪🏾
Nobody gone give props to Mary with that dope ass melody??!!?
And that jumpsuit ❤️

Yup! She definitely added the cherry on top!!!! This whole song is just beautiful! “Cuz I’m da best when I’m with you!” Who says that now a days?! 😍

Hey, dont ignore Pharrell williams in those vocals with mary j!!!!
I been on this for years now, Pharrell really delivers music for the soul
Wow! I didn’t even know that...
@patience271 me too
Oh yes!!! I didn't notice that
This song is a Neptunes prod
Chad Hugo and Pharrell Williams ...
Almost of Neptune's prods had Pharrell Williams on the vocals
This song brings tears till today. The world has changed. We need more music like this
Everyone wanna talk about getting over on someone, or making it clap or WAP…
True That, peace!
nah dead this my first time hearing this and im crying
Creativity and originality has gone this was the last era of greatness after the incredible 90’s. Humanity is on a steady decline and it will reflect in every department including music. These are the end times!
They still have music like this its not on t.v. or radio. (Search hip hop neo soul playlist.)
"I wanna build a tribe with you, protect and provide for you...."
Damn, you don't hear ish like this anymore.....
word up, that part made me blush
for me its "the pimp in me, may have to die with you"
real stuff there
songs with words, meaning, love and smiles, this song is so perfect!
Sho don't
KG DA common is a beast.. respected lyrically and still remains true to the conscious rap.
" I wanna build a tribe with you, protect and provide for you" That line hits differently

"Come Close"
(feat. Mary J. Blige)
[Intro]
[Common:] It's just a fly love song, what
[Mary J:] Mmmmm
[Common:] It's just a fly love song, what
[Verse: Common]
Are we living in a dream world?
Are your eyes still green girl?
I know your sick and tired of arguing
But you can't keep it bottled in
Jealousy, we got to swallow it
Your heart and mind baby follow it
Smile, happiness you could model it
And when you feel opposite
I just want you to know
Your whole being is beautiful
I'ma do the best I can do
Cause I'm my best when I'm with you
[Chorus: Mary J. Blige and Pharrell]
Come close to me baby
Let your love hold you
I know this world is crazy
What's it without you
[Verse: Common]
Put down your bags love
I know in the past love
Has been sort of hard in you
But I see the God in you
I just want to nurture it
Though this love may hurt a bit
We dealing wit this water love
You even give my daughter love
I want to build a tribe wit you
Protect and provide for you
Truth is I can't hide from you
The pimp in me
May have to die with you
[Chorus]
[Bridge Mary J Blige and Pharrell]
I know what you're thinking, you're on my mind
You're right, you're right, you're right
You promise so fast you just might take flight
Hope your not tired, tonight, tonight
[Verse: Common]
You help me to discover me
I just want you to put trust in me
I kind of laugh when you cuss at me
The aftermath is you touching me

You will find the king you want
Fun fact. This song was a marriage proposition to Erykah ❤🧡💛
Nonjabulo Noluthando Maseko REALLY
erykah was that chick
@@HXXDIEBOY excuse me.... Erykah IS that chick STILL!
Nonjabulo Maseko Erykah and Pharrell wrote it though
Is that a fact? 🤔
This literally what you call a PERFECT song. I get the same FEELING every single time I listen to it. It touches the SOUL! And EVERYone on the song delivered from the Neptunes production, Common flow and cadence and Mary J Blige beautifully laid vocals.
Definitely in my top 10 songs of all time!
Yessssssssssss ❤❤❤❤❤
when I get married this song is being played at my wedding
mrdemare777 that's a great idea! until now I didn't realize this would be a great wedding song!!

Right here
OF🌹💥🏆☀🌴COURSE.....
Bridget Alias I do.
I always come back at least a few times every year
2021 with it
I like how Common's clothes are matching nature, as if he is saying that he is one with the earth. All natural. Nothing artificial.
Not gonna lie but on the right day the beauty of this song can make you cry.. my guy Common and Mary j did their thing right here!.. we need more poetic music like this
# Mad Props💪🏾
When I was a little girl this song made me cry. It's so beautiful
It still makes me cry :‘)
The way RAP should have always been - spreading love and peace, not b%tches and vices and stupid minded crisis...
Everything about this track just blends together 💯 Neptunes banger, Mary J Blige on the vocals, and Common with his poetry 🔥🔥
We need more men to show this type of respect for women. It's good to hear good, clean love songs. Mary Jane Blige is always one of my favorites.
I meant to type Mary J. Blige not mary Jane Blige.
