This song makes me cry in its sheer beauty and her NATURAL voice. I love her outfit and its simplicity because her talent does the rest. I dont feel the popluar perfomers today can match this.
RIP Nelson Mandela. Why did I mention him on this song? That's is/was his prison number on her guitar. Such a beautiful song from such a beautiful spirit.
a man who loves music,,art Respects the spirit world and thinks with his heart 2020 & Still brings solidarity for those of Us, Who know Better _ For Love
I love this song, India Arie is just an inspiring artist and soul. In another live performance she said, “This song is not bout wanting a specific person, it's not to a specific person...this song is to the energy of love to come and bless my life.” And I thought that that message was soo beautiful!!! I had to cover this song and it's up already too! Do tell me whatcha think on my take of this amazing song! I'd really appreciate it!
I just paid attention to this song and her voice ....... I HAVE BEEN AMAZED.. this is unbelievable. So raw. So passionate. So powerful. This is one of those songs that just can't be forgotten. Truly incredible talent
She is a phenomenal singer who definitely deserves more praise and accolades than she receives. I wish I'm able to see her perform in concert in the near future.
I absolutely love this song. And this artist. India.Arie has been one of my favorites since the very beginning. I remember one night when I was young, I fell asleep with the TV on, and it was on the BET network. During that time, he’s so used to come one at midnight, called midnight love. Well that particular night day premiered this song on the show, and the melody literally woke me up from my sleep. My eyes were affixed to the television as the video played. I immediately fell in love with the song, and it has been my favorite song ever Since. It is also my favorite song to sing. All of the songs are written by her are the most beautiful songs in the world, and they all have a deeper meaning, which is why I am in love with her music.
This song is a TRUE MASTERPIECE. It is on my personal top 10 list of favorite songs. Beautiful. Brings tears to my eyes. Thank you sooo very much India Arie !
INDIA POSSESSES THE QUALITY OF GREATNESS IN HER HEART & THE PASSION SHE PUTS IN HER SONGS IS GODDLY. SHE SINGS OF FEELINGS THAT ARE REAL IN OUR HEARTS, MINDS, BODY & SOUL. HER SONGS TOUCHES DEEP DOWN TO THE CORE OF A SOUL & CARESSES IT GENTLY. SHE IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE SINGER OF ALL TIMES. THROUGH HER SONGS, I'VE LEARNED TO LOVE ME, ENJOY ME & ACCEPT MY FLAWS & GIFTS FROM GOD. I'M PEACEFUL BEING ME & THAT'S A GIFT LIKE NO OTHER.
I feel robbed because I only heard this song last year for the first time and it took me a year to find out what it was called. I went straight out and bought india's acoustic soul cd. I was shocked this beautiful song has been around for so long and here in the UK I had never of heard of her. Absolute perfection in the songs lyrics and the way India sings it.
This is the best vocal India has given, whilst singing this particular song. She always sings the truth of the lyrics, without forcing the fact that she is an amazing singer down our throats. Many people have covered this song, but none of them are able to sing it with the purity and emotion that India does. Makes me cry every time I hear it.
Spectacular song,deep...and the detail in the guitar...46664 number, wow the Nelson Mandela prison number and symbol of change, strength, charity, freedom and peace (for me).
India is one of the best singers of our time! She expresses such intensity. What a blessing to us all! By the way, she was chosen to sing the theme song for Good Morning America and we can hear that voice every day! ❤😊
Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful songs in our time, this song is no doubt the hidden prefix of the word love and the hidden suffix being when you find true love... 'before & after' simply AMAZING!
Years later I'm still in love with her voice, I mean my god the way she sings is with so much emotion it gives me chill and butterfly's. Artist like her is why I love music so much and want to be one of those people that makes someone go wow did I really hear those words? Did I really witness and hear that voice?
I am ready for love Why are you hiding from me I’d quickly give my freedom To be held in your captivity I am ready for love All of the joy and the pain And all the time that it takes Just to stay in your good grace Lately I’ve been thinking Maybe you’re not ready for me Maybe you think I need to learn maturity They say watch what you ask for Cause you might receive But if you ask me tomorrow I’ll say the same thing I am ready for love Would you please lend me your ear? I promise I won’t complain I just need you to acknowledge I am here If you give me half a chance I‘ll prove this to you I will be patience, kind, faithful and true To a man who loves music A man who loves art Respect’s the spirit world And thinks with his heart I am ready for love If you’ll take me in your hands I will learn what you teach And do the best that I can I am ready for love Here with a offering of My voice My Eyes My soul My mind Tell me what is enough To prove I am ready for love I am ready…
Oh India, this is still my favorite song from your brilliant catalog! You truly are a national treasure! Thank you for sharing your many gifts and talents with the world ❤
Just one of my favorite songs ever. They dont write songs any better than this one. India Arie is one of the best female singers in any genre of music. LISTEN WORLD!! This is music!
Loves Music, Loves Art, Respects the Spirit World, and Thinks with Their Heart.......couldn't ask for much more. P after 18 years of a Womderful Marriage.... I hope that I have proven to be that Man for You. Te Amo little one.
Love has it's time and space. Love is unsustainable amongst Humans. However, Love is Possessed, and Exalted to our Majesty's Throne for 4 minutes and 53 seconds. As persevered in the Voice of the Lady - India Aire. Love.
perfection at its best.......a million thumbs up! india trully brings soul music to life with her beautiful voice. who said true rnb and soul were gone?? this is the ish........
I love this song! My heart is open....And, I cant believe the negative comments about her hair. Her hair is beautiful in its natural state. In fact, I was thinking it would be a funky look for the summer
Hands down one of the greatest love songs ever written. PERIODT.
A man who loves music a man who loves art respects the spirit world and thinks with his heart.omg that part breaks me everytime .
How can someone sound better live then they do on the CD? This women's voice really is amazing. Flawless. She deserves far more recognition.
2:53 That 10 second riff KILLED me, this is so stunning
And 3:08 was so Whitney like , amazing
come back please
Did you hear her performance of "I am Light at the 60th Grammy Awards. MUST LET YOUR SOUL be nourished by her song there.
“The part where she says, “tell me what is enough, to prove I am ready...” it gives me chills.
"My voice, my eyes, this song, my mind. Tell me what is enough to prove that I am ready for love" omg that part was everything
This song makes me cry in its sheer beauty and her NATURAL voice. I love her outfit and its simplicity because her talent does the rest. I dont feel the popluar perfomers today can match this.
RIP Nelson Mandela.

I was shocked this beautiful song has been around for so long and here in the UK I had never of heard of her. Absolute perfection in the songs lyrics and the way India sings it.
I got goosebumps the sec she said "i am ready for love". Amazing
This song has comforted me over the years. Through some very tough times. Hoping to hear it live when India comes to Singapore. Xx
Her voices touches me so powerful
This made me feel like I was on the drop of a rollercoaster in the best way I could possibly explain... 😩💖 (btw, I'm here in 2019, this is crazy)
Lord have mercy, this was just BEAUTIFUL, I sooo love you!!!!
I cannot listen to this! It is too beautiful!
Sweeeeet :)
WoW..... look what we can do when we come together as one people.....Beautiful creation of a song!!!!! Love India!!!!

This song hits a place deep in my heart, thank you India Arie and Lu Miller!
Years later I'm still in love with her voice, I mean my god the way she sings is with so much emotion it gives me chill and butterfly's. Artist like her is why I love music so much and want to be one of those people that makes someone go wow did I really hear those words? Did I really witness and hear that voice?

So proud to be South African right now - India Arie has Nelson Mandela's foundation and prison cell number on her guitar 46664
I'm crying from watching and my ears are tearing up from listening😢
I'm shookethhhhed. Chills
I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me
I’d quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity
I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace
Lately I’ve been thinking
Maybe you’re not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I’ll say the same thing
I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won’t complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here
If you give me half a chance
I‘ll prove this to you
I will be patience, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music
A man who loves art
Respect’s the spirit world
And thinks with his heart
I am ready for love
If you’ll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can
I am ready for love
Here with a offering of
My voice
My Eyes
My soul
My mind
Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love
I am ready…
