    1973 I was in 9th grade and heard "Let's get it On". I was mesmerized!
    Fast forward to 1997. I interduce my 5 yr old son to Marvin on the ride school. Like father like son. Friends and family have passed on. Marvin Gaye has always been there 4 me. God bless

    I’m 57 yrs old and Cry like a baby every time I hear this Song. My old Man! My Father, my Pops. Did H! One time as a kid, I walked in on him in the Bathroom, needle in his arm, eyes in the Heavens. Scared me to death. Nicest Man in the World. Sweetest man in the World. Always picked me up when he got out jail. Give me money and 15 mins later came back and asked for it back.(I would just hold on to it because I knew he was coming back for it) But he loved me. I miss him. Lost him at 21. Found him overdosed. One day I will be with him again. Greatest song ever for me. My Dad’s life!!

    I overlooked this song the first time I heard the album as my attention was gripped by the more lauded tracks but by the second or third listen it hit me like a truck. Here is a desperate man on the brink of despair with no way out. Heartbreaking and prophetic. I've had forty years with this album and it's poignancy never diminishes.

      @@timdecoursey287 That's a general comment about a society in failure. Marvin is talking about the helplessness of his personal situation, it's more immediate and therefore to me more affecting especially in light of how drugs led to his death. Feel free to differ.

    **The pain is real**
    Flying high in the friendly sky. Flying high without ever leaving the ground, no
    Rest of the folks are tired and weary Oh Lord, and have laid their bodies down
    I go to the place where danger awaits me
    And it's bound to forsake me
    So stupid minded I can't help it, so stupid minded
    But I go crazy when I can't find it
    In the morning, I'll be alright, my friend
    But soon the night will bring the pains The pain, awful pain
    [Verse 2]
    Flying high in the friendly sky
    Without ever leaving the ground
    And I ain't seen nothing but trouble baby Nobody really understands, no, no
    And I go to the place where the good feeling awaits me
    Self destruction's in my hand
    Oh Lord, so stupid minded
    Oh, and I go crazy when I can't find it
    Well I know I'm hooked my friends
    To the boy who makes slaves out of men
    And oh, believe me
    [Outro]
    Flying high in a friendly sky
    Flying high in a friendly sky
