The album dropped in late '95 but yes this wasn't released as a single until early '96. For combination of r&b/hip hop I tend to agree with you. Crazy remixes came out that year as well.
This song is practically a miracle. The message. The beautiful melody, and that freakin' beat. I have never lost interest in hearing this so. If you've clicked here, and hadn't heard the song before, I'm jealous 🎉
+gigijbijbj It all builds on the past. 90s music had strong roots in 60s, 70s, and 80s music. There are people like you and your age making great music based on 90s and 2000s. There's good black music today too!
Listening to this song just took me to a place I was not yet ready to go, tears starting flowing, my soul is cleansed & I'm thankful.....music truly is therapy thank God for it!!
Starr Styles omg yes! I was on my lunch break in the parking lot in my car listening to this and the same thing happened to me. The tears started flowing and wouldn't stop. I was wailing so loud I thought someone was gonna hear me but I felt like a weight had been lifted afterwards
Tracey Skyles it's the message in the song boo , it's sayin love your self, listen to heart, keep trying . very motivational, not to mention the smooth melody , have this on repeat ...
Omg same thing happened to me I was feeling down so I put my Pandora on and this song came on first time hearing it I cried and thank god for sending me that song
I remember buying this cd in college from sam goody in Tallahassee with my girlfriend who is now my wife. Been together 25 years married 16 ups and downs and all music always puts it all in perspective at least for me. Love the 90s for so many reasons.
What does chains or cars have to do with being fine 😂? The reason his label pushed him to be an artist (even though he wanted to stay behind the scenes as a producer and writer) is because he was so fine.
You will never convince me music or black culture has evolved to a better place than this . I love this so much. Everything I make music. I tryna get to this frequency somehow
Amel is one of the most underrated vocal talents and songwriters that ever lived. When I produce music for female artists, I go in with the mindset of HER style, but I'm still from finding anyone that even comes close to her sound.
This group is sooo underappreciated. Even at this time they stood out from a lot of other groups. There was some vulgarities then but not like 2day. '95 was DEFINITLY a gr8 year in soul music.
The words in this song describe my situation perfectly. I'm holding onto things from the past and I'm missing out on blessings. I'm doing my best to break through.
I was feeling real low and was listening to Teedra Moses radio on Pandora and this came on and the fog that was surrounding me lifted. I just had to come here to listen a couple more times.....
hi Robert, i was feeling the same. I,m going through a divorce but when you can listen to some good music and friends and family can help. Stay Strong my brother!!!
It's 2024 and I miss the 90s!!! I love this song and the video concept from Groove Theory. My goodness, I forgot that Treach from Naughty by Nature had a cameo appearance in the video too! Ha, ha!!! CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!
I can just cry man with how good this, band, this production, these two impossibility good looking people(Bryce and Amel), uhhh just everything! Feels man, feels
How we gunna bring back the entire 90s clothing style back and what we truly need back is the freaking music man! Smh my generation is screwed in every aspect hopefully dear God brings this back to save current society we need positive music!
They'll recycle the clothes somewhat but the music won't come back sadly! The younger folks have no true imagination just sing and talk about drugs and killing and devaluing each other with the N and B Hoe name calling, sad!
I kept asking God and the universe to give me a sign about what I’m struggling with.. Man have I prayed and I just stumbled upon this song. It’s definitely my sign. “Believe in you and it will take you higher” So simple yet so powerful
Know Thyself TH CREATOR of TH Universe Spoke and CREATED as u are part of His precious creation you are everything u think u need isn’t what u really need yet TH GREAT SPIRIT of OLD is always listening and sees knows exactly what we need. Salaam
Seen em when they were on showtime @ the apollo circa 96 and they backup singers held it tf down while Amel did a whole load of juicy ad libs different than recorded, all live, no pitch correction but still so 🔥
You've been missin' Out on all the chances you've been given Is it something within Holding you back instead of livin' Your day is coming though it seems far Things will be clear when you love who you are Nothin' can stop you as long as you listen to your heart Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin' Believe in you and it will take you higher Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin' Believe in you and it will take you higher You have sorrows Everywhere you turn they seem to follow If you let go Happiness will come to you tomorrow Your day is coming though it seems far Things will be clear when you love who you are Nothin' can stop you as long as you listen to your heart Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin' Believe in you and it will take you higher Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin' Believe in you and it will take you higher You can make if you try, you can make it Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin' Believe in you and it will take you higher Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin' Believe in you and it will take you higher Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin' Believe in you and it will take you higher Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin' Believe in you and it will take you higher Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin' Believe in you and it will take you higher Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin' Believe in you and it will take you higher your welcome..
Keep trying, Keep pushing, don't give up! This song makes me want to push forward. I hope Groove Theory gives us another masterpiece like their debut in the near future.
My Mother always played this album when I was younger and I never knew the name of them until early 2022 and let me tell you, when I found out, I played the whole album out(and still am)! This song in particular is absolutely one of the most beautiful musical creations I've heard throughout my musical life. The vibe, the lyrics, the passion...sets my heart on fire ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
@@mimi-qh6ci Thanks did not know that! Also, I'm an illustrator and spoken word artist; I flipped this song to do a tribute for women with drawings, called Women's Time to Shine. Snippet of the song is here if you'd like to listen to it.
She ain't lying ,I was distracted the other night and I got focused on what I knew I needed to do so quick so fast! Love this song to death,her voice and beauty is the complete combination.
I can’t believe I’m only just discovering this classic even though I’ve been a fan of Groove theory and this was in my era. Zero nudity, no foul language. This are the type of role models our community should be exposed to and not the depravity we constantly see on our screens. Great song!
Yall see treach in the background? I always listen to this song almost everyday for positive reinforcement :) especially when I have my down days. I love that I can still go back in time on youtube and tune out to my golden era jams.
I remember January 1996 when I first heard this on WHUR. 26 years later still has my heart. This was an excellent period for music but this was always a favorite . xoxo Jivon at 16 (1996)
That's how you know it's timeless; when it hits the same way years later and doesn't feel or sound the least bit dated. When I heard it in 96' at 13, I liked it for the beat. A year or two later, for the how pretty Amel Larrieux and the girl in the hallway with Brice was. Five-ten years after that, for the message and video as it hit VERY close to home for me at the time. And now as a husband and father of a pretty baby girl, for the nostalgia :) Dope track forever
Man! I just flew back in time. I loved Groove Theory back in the day. It's so refreshing to hear good music with a beautiful message. "Things will, be clear when you love who you are", so powerful!
Amel Larrieux she is more focus on singing, than the gilts and sparkles, body shaking. I have always loved this video. A real Precious Gem. Hopefully we will get more artist like this in the future.
Seems like just about all the music from this era was relatable. Every song that came out, you or someone you knew, had that situation going on. I can't get jiggy with none of this mess they call music nowadays🥴
This is the song that i think makes her one of the most underrated artist of all time. Id just put in my headphones close my eyes and go back to the 90.... mayne. in starting to sound like my parents. This new stuff is garbage with some exceptions.
![KSI - Dirty [Official Visualiser]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VoDh1h1dPUE/mqdefault.jpg)
When music had substance.. Still here in 2024❤
Amel is criminally underrated... 🙏🏾
Totally agree.
Fact
She has critical acclaim and her soul is intact. That’ll do in my eyes
@Shin-Blade Yes, she is!
You are so right
This was another 1996 classic. '96 was probably the craziest year in hip-hop and R&B history. Every joint that came out that year was bananas!!
The album dropped in late '95 but yes this wasn't released as a single until early '96. For combination of r&b/hip hop I tend to agree with you. Crazy remixes came out that year as well.
I like bananas 😂
so true
Straight facts
This song is major inspirational and was captured perfectly with the video 👍🏽
This song is practically a miracle. The message. The beautiful melody, and that freakin' beat. I have never lost interest in hearing this so. If you've clicked here, and hadn't heard the song before, I'm jealous 🎉
Going through a lot right now...this song always makes me feel like it will get better
Keep your head up
Praying for you friend
Peace and blessings to you.. Stay strong and keep movin' to greater heights. Leave dead weight folks behind Sis.
Praying everything works out gratitude for all things always helps me❤
That baseline is so cold
&Dewayne Thomas my sentiments exactly 👍🏽💯
Yes lawd
Sounds like some Death Row/West Coast bassline
A Bop
Anyone know the chords?👀
I'm currently 26 yo , and I swear to you I was born in the wrong fucking decade the 90's was truly the golden era of black music.
you werent born in the wrong decade...i just think everyone now just wsnts the money and their art is suffering. Glad you recognize good music tho
LMMFAO!!!!
Bro it was amazing and loved every bit of it!!''
The 70's, 80's also had good music and the lyrics had meaning. Check it out.
+gigijbijbj It all builds on the past. 90s music had strong roots in 60s, 70s, and 80s music. There are people like you and your age making great music based on 90s and 2000s. There's good black music today too!
This is a classic. Will NEVER get old and I’m so sad Groove theory didn’t have more hits.
So am I. Missed out on some wonderful women, now I have grown somewhat older and hope I can find someone for me, PEACE!!!❤️❤️❤️
What you mean? all of groove theory is a hit.
Thank god for youtube idk how i would be without my 90s music
July 11 2024
We need more of this music chill relax groove. Man I miss those days
It’s out there just get away from main stream .
I do too
Man, I bought this in college from Sam Goody in Tallahassee mall in 96 Famu baby!
I really miss my generation late 80's early 90's.
This type of music should still be in mainstream
+warrior1975ify You're correct!!! There would be happier people..
Man bring this music back!!
Jauron Mitchell and you know this🤙🏼
Me too😭😭😭
Listening to this song just took me to a place I was not yet ready to go, tears starting flowing, my soul is cleansed & I'm thankful.....music truly is therapy thank God for it!!
Starr Styles omg yes! I was on my lunch break in the parking lot in my car listening to this and the same thing happened to me. The tears started flowing and wouldn't stop. I was wailing so loud I thought someone was gonna hear me but I felt like a weight had been lifted afterwards

Starr Styles AMEN SISTAH✨💜👊💜✨
Agreed, peace and love.
Omg same thing happened to me I was feeling down so I put my Pandora on and this song came on first time hearing it I cried and thank god for sending me that song
This is SOUL music. We need to bring this back.
I remember buying this cd in college from sam goody in Tallahassee with my girlfriend who is now my wife. Been together 25 years married 16 ups and downs and all music always puts it all in perspective at least for me. Love the 90s for so many reasons.
Very beautiful
I remember bumping "tell me" when it first came out as a soph at UF! Played it a lot on local radio. Had a little $60-70 shelf system...
Bryce is super sexy. No crazy chains, no flashy clothes, no fancy cars and he is still 1000x sexier than artists out right now.
What does chains or cars have to do with being fine 😂? The reason his label pushed him to be an artist (even though he wanted to stay behind the scenes as a producer and writer) is because he was so fine.
September 29 , 2023 still cooling with Groove Theory, 😢😢this song will not become obsolete
Shout Out To The 90s💎💎
I'm a new car salesman and I can honestly tell you that this song is keeping me in good spirits during down time fasho
There's just something about the 90s.
Real r&b right here...miss the 90's music was so much better
Groove Theory + Lucy Pearl are two groups I wish would get back together. They made music that truly touched the soul. They didn't care about the $.
Def from the soul but no dollars no album ;)
OMG I forgot all about Lucy Pearl!!!!
Abdelmelik Farooq Alwahid Don't forget avout Koffee Brown
Zhané too
I agree
HER VOICE IS EVERYTHING ON THIS SONG
Heard u.....
💣💣💣💣💣
The voice of a goddess
Man this gets me straight up in them feelers.norhing like our time. We were lucky to have this music in our prime. They dont know
A song like this with a video shot in a late-Fall type of setting really put comfort vibes on full effect
They were truly ahead of their time! So much soul.
I bought this album back in 06 such a masterpiece truly... groove theory is underrated
How were they ahead of their time? They were right on time.
@Brandon Thom by a new generation that doesn't know wtf they are talking about.
Actually, it was perfect timing. Trailblazer!
Believe in You and It WILL take you higher..
Heard u...
Word!
Things will be clear when you love who you are!!! Music had much more inspiration in the 90's.
A very great song!!(I love the video, no more great music any more!!!!
Truth
@@johtariabillings5660 hey
If I ever make it back to the 90s, I'm never leaving....
Im so happy for youtube because timeless music will never go unheard im just hearing this im in love already
This beautiful queen has got 1 of the smoothest voices, love her whole persona!
Heard u....
💣💣💣💣💣
Neo soul can't go wrong with this classic
Of course I'd find you here lol
You will never convince me music or black culture has evolved to a better place than this . I love this so much. Everything I make music. I tryna get to this frequency somehow
What a beautiful message this song has
Amel is one of the most underrated vocal talents and songwriters that ever lived. When I produce music for female artists, I go in with the mindset of HER style, but I'm still from finding anyone that even comes close to her sound.
THIS SONG BRINGS ME BE BACK TO 95-97
Bro I was just turning 21 in 1996 . Just started going to clubs establishing my young adulthood. Music was so nice and classic during this time period
hell yeah
+warrior1975ify Music is by far the best time machine.
Was a wonderful time!
"Nothing can stop you as long as you listen to your heart"
I always liked this song more than "Tell Me", very motivational!✊
When you find your heart you find your treasure
Same here
Best song on the album 💯
@@DaPrognosis definitely agree 💖
FACTS 💪🏾💯
This group is sooo underappreciated. Even at this time they stood out from a lot of other groups. There was some vulgarities then but not like 2day. '95 was DEFINITLY a gr8 year in soul music.

✨💛✨
Teedra is my girl! Love her. 🙂
I must say … Simply wholesomely beautiful !
Very motivational song.
I'm so blessed to be raised up on to this music. I miss the 90's era of music. They had music everybody can relate to & it had class.
I couldn't have said it better myself
Excellent 😂😂😂😂
When songs had a beginning, middle and end plus a great hook. Miss those days.
It's 2024 and I miss the 90s!!! I love this song and the video concept from Groove Theory. My goodness, I forgot that Treach from Naughty by Nature had a cameo appearance in the video too! Ha, ha!!! CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!
Dont ever sleep on Groove Theory, Still a great group!
Fansie V Free: I moved from Kansas City to Maryland and this song has kept me grounded during the hard times.
LU Lion how's it going in ur new location! I hope ur enjoying
The only reason why they didn't go any further is because they weren't willing to sellout.
Heard u....
The track is crazy so graceful
I love this song it makes you think about everything you ever been through.
I can just cry man with how good this, band, this production, these two impossibility good looking people(Bryce and Amel), uhhh just everything! Feels man, feels
Kimberly Jones this is such a beautiful song

the irony of life is that I became the uncle with the endless supply of music from the 90s.
It's truly rare to have a song that can inspire you so much yet make you bop your head relentlessly. Excellent song

@Yosef Ben Yeshua Facts! You can certainly hear YAH in the chorus giving words of wisdom and encouragement.
Same!

Her voice is so smooth and sweet. Plus she's fully covered so the only thing that you could only focus on was her voice.
Heard u....
Amel is and has always been ultra-classy. I just wanna give her a big ol hug.
You've been missin'
Out on all the chances you've been given
Is it something within
Holding you back instead of livin'
Your day is coming though it seems far
Things will be clear when you love who you are
Nothin' can stop you as long as you listen to your heart
Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin'
Believe in you and it will take you higher
Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin'
Believe in you and it will take you higher
You have sorrows
Everywhere you turn they seem to follow
If you let go
Happiness will come to you tomorrow
Your day is coming though it seems far
Things will be clear when you love who you are
Nothin' can stop you as long as you listen to your heart
Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin'
Believe in you and it will take you higher
Lift your head to the sky and keep tryin'

Groove Theory has always hit me in a different way than other musicians...a feeling that never goes away no matter how many years later
This song makes me cry. After so many years, love it more today. A positive message that we need in 2021.
I'm still so in love with this song.i send this to my grands. told them LISTEN to the words
Classic songs withstand the test of time. This is real talent unlike today's music.
Ohh I was trying not to cry listening to this song ! It’s so beautiful
Same here 😢💯❗
The memories that it brings up, l can't stop crying deep in my soul ❤😢
They don't make music like this anymore
Heard u....💣💣💣💣💣
Yes they do. Amel records and tours. She is still amazing!
@Jarrel Ely Amel records great solo albums, and still tours!
no they were at there time. Music now digressed.
No thwy don't. Everything must be lit. The music is oversexed and repetitive.
Hearing this song again after so many years is a blessing . There's so many tracks you forget over the years .im so glad i found this one again
This video has been out since ‘96 & I’m just noticing Treach from Naughty By Nature opening the door at 3:06 WOW!
This is MY SONG!!! I miss these days of music so bad. 💚💚💚
Amel's voice is like "a million angels singing in my ears" 👼🙌
Keep trying, Keep pushing, don't give up! This song makes me want to push forward. I hope Groove Theory gives us another masterpiece like their debut in the near future.
STILL BANGING IN 2023
2024 now
That bass groove gets me everytime. Love this song
Talent and class. She always knew her self worth ✊🏽
This song is so smooth!
This is for all the ppl out there such as me who are chasing that dream..This is such a motivational song for us..Keep Trying....

I Remember Bryce Performing in Philadelphia That was Alot of Fun.
The 90s were so incredible. So positive and uplifting 💪🏾💪🏾❤
Man, I wish I could hear this for the first time again
She ain't lying ,I was distracted the other night and I got focused on what I knew I needed to do so quick so fast! Love this song to death,her voice and beauty is the complete combination.
Crazy how this appeared on my first page and Lord knows I needed to hear this right now. Wow!
Right. Happy new year
The 14 year old me.. remember this song and how it got me through a lot💚
I can’t believe I’m only just discovering this classic even though I’ve been a fan of Groove theory and this was in my era.
Zero nudity, no foul language. This are the type of role models our community should be exposed to and not the depravity we constantly see on our screens. Great song!
Wow this song brings me back to high school -- real music
Yall see treach in the background?
I always listen to this song almost everyday for positive reinforcement :) especially when I have my down days. I love that I can still go back in time on youtube and tune out to my golden era jams.
me too! this and Bravebird by Amel Larrieux
kelly Kahn You should go to her concert. With me.
Sure you live in NY?
In 2018 she should get an award just for this song... Damn I love this song.....

Heard u...
Right????
✊🏾
For real though
1995-96 baby Lake Taylor High School baby good times I miss the 90's
This is the song that i think makes her one of the most underrated artist of all time. Id just put in my headphones close my eyes and go back to the 90.... mayne. in starting to sound like my parents. This new stuff is garbage with some exceptions.
You said it all!
THAT Sir is a fact. I was born in '87 and I can't stomach some of this rubbish these days
The way that bass line just shoves you to the next step on the floor. Just can't stop moving and grooving !🔥🔥🔥
I wish I could live the melody she creates
That Groove Theory dude was a musician and a model. He was in every gorgeous songstress music video!
What a breath of fresh air🎶❤️
