This song healed my life. I thought I had to forgive others for what they did to me. Turns out, I had to forgive myself for what I 'allowed' others to do to me. Peace.
This song came along at a very critical point in my life and it helped me to get past the hurt. I can only credit the timing to God and His divine intervention.
the 1st time I heard this song I was going through a tough time. When she sings "I no longer want to hold on...to that which doesn't make me strong" It sent chills up and down my spine and I can honestly say, I don't hold onto anything that doesn't empower and inspire me from that day. I can just let it go and move on. I forgive for me I want to be free, want to be me, tired of being in pain I want to heal. Thank you to the author that penned those awesome words.
This song, sung by this amazing artist has penetrated a place in my heart allowing me to unleash unforgiveness which remained following my breakup. Although I told him I forgave him and really meant it the questions, memories and pain remained. Actually none of the questions actually matter. The words of this song are very strong. I listen to all sorts of music but this one did it. I plan to play this daily and listen until all that pain is gone. Thank You Rachelle :)
You will get there, if you havent already arrived, because you desire to. Because you will to. I hope all is well with you. Stay encouraged, and Peace and Happiness to you inside your journey....😊
I can truly relate to this song. I've been in that place where hatred and anger was all I had for someone until Rachelle put it in perspective for me. Powerfully executed and delivered. I love this woman's spirit and art completely!
@@stevecrumpton9643 Thank you for your heartfelt compassion, Steve. After 13 years of posting this, I find it amazing that my fellow travelers in this life still reach out to connect with me on it. May many blessings keep you well my friend. Peace.
This lady's voice is so amazing. She is definitely one of the best contemporary vocalists. Her voice is like warm sunshine on a winter's day; it just warms you up all over.
Rochelle will never release an album of new material. Which recording company would publish it? The lady can sing, very well, no two ways about it, but she probably has zero commercial value.
I know good singing and this woman is a beast in the best sense of the word. I love the way she uses her instrument (voice). She just sings with warm human passion that's heartfelt. She's a healer for the hurt💞
AND...you gotta do it "from your heart"... "So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye *from your hearts* forgive not every one their trespasses." --[Matthew 18:35]
This song is awesome. True forgiveness is the only thing that sets us free. This song truly makes you release forgiveness and feel that release throughout your entire being and by the time you get to the end of the song all you can do is sigh gently, smile and move forward with your life.
Words cannot describe how beautiful this woman's voice is. Ive loved her since I was a kid in the 90s. I used to play her and Chante Moore's 1st CD CONSTANTLY! Had the pleasure of seeing them both in concert! Rachelle is the only artist that has moved me to tears. She is truly anointed ❤
This song is one of my few "all-time" favorites. I love the words, the melody and music so much, not to mention Rachelle's exceptional vocals. She is incredible on anything she touches but here she gives all of herself! So beautiful and says so much! This one I gladly put on repeat (along with my own music). Thanks for posting. A serious fan!
Truly one of the most beautiful, touching and life-affirming songs ever written. Individuality is one of my favorite albums - The song writing, vocals and arrangments are second to none. All of the songs have a profroundly deep meaning in them. She is a hidden gem of the music world, I wish she would come back and gift us with more material because the world really needs it right now!
Rachelle Ferrell is an Black American. Black people of awareness is connected to their African roots. Clearly fromm the various pics in the video she is one who comfortable expressing a her free spirit with class and finese. She is a SOULFUL SISTER!
I was just listening to this song on my i Tunes again. The lyrics of this song go beyond beautiful. They are wisdom. They embody the pure essence of Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, and Christian Mysticism combined. Forgive and Release to Heal from the Past. Let go of the past. It is what causes the pain of life. Let the past go and live in the Present. What a beautiful and lovely song. This song should be the number one song of all time. I can't think of a song that has a deeper message than this 1.
I Love Rachelle...I Love This Song...However, when I heard the CD recording of "I Can Explain" and those notes she holds forever, and then that last note at the very end of the song...OMG, I nearly passed out from holding my breath and then screaming...You must You must hear that song...It use to be loaded on youtube but, of course, they made the person take it down and it was a beautiful video as well with painted Jazz scenes in the background..it was, well, just BRILLIANT....
She is singing my heart! It's been said that "to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you!" Even if you never see the one that hurt you ever again, forgive them in your heart,in your mind, it is freedom,it is soul cleansing,the lightness of being yourself free of the weight of living in pain that the other person may not even feel or care about. Forgive and free yourself!
I really love this song and it's meaning!! Sometimes in order to be free, or simply move past something or someone you have TO FORGIVE. When you hold on to the past, often times you tend to block your blessings and your growth..When you let it go, your releasing the shackles that held you bound, and your taking your power back!! FORGIVING is releasing!!(I believe that)
this song is my Anthem. i4givu is my licence plate....I didn't intend on giving this the thumbs down. it kept defulting back to it. sorry, Forgive Me.lol
I would love to see you live at: The City of Country Club Hills Theatre this summer 2013. Praise God for Rachelle Ferrell. I FORGIVE YOU, because I no God will not allow me to move forward.
This song was beneficial to me as it pertained to me forgiving myself. As a Cancer, I recognized the notion that we tend to respond and react to past decisions. The helpful thing is to recognize the behavior, allow for the moment to pass, and then to forgive oneself. It does not matter what the transgression. In order to regain wholeness that she sings of, one must forgive. Bravo Rachelle! Bravo!
Lord, where have I been? I just discovered this woman a few days ago. I must have been under a very big rock for the past 20 years to not know such a voice as this existed under the sun. The way she sings-- she massages each word and doesn't let it go until it's been properly seasoned. She toys with notes as if in the middle she's still deciding what to do with it. Not because she has no where else to go but because there are so many directions she can take. She has a truly God-given gift.
This song healed my life. I thought I had to forgive others for what they did to me. Turns out, I had to forgive myself for what I 'allowed' others to do to me. Peace.
Yeah. beautiful. thank you that helped me.
Thanks
Deep!!!
@@azza7487 AMEN ❣️

"Superbly soulful & jazzy ballad. I love her voice".
This song is so real and the words is so powerful. Anyone that had to forgive knows exactly what this means.
A song for the ages!!! Love it!
Thank you for such a wonderful & powerful song and the power of forgiveness !
So underrated as a singer. With such a powerful, healing song.
This lady's voice is so amazing. She is definitely one of the best contemporary vocalists. Her voice is like warm sunshine on a winter's day; it just warms you up all over.
If someone can listen to this song and give it a thumbs down you don't deserve the gift of music
Rachelle, please put out another album!
Rochelle will never release an album of new material. Which recording company would publish it? The lady can sing, very well, no two ways about it, but she probably has zero commercial value.
God is Wonderful just a blessing! Bueatiful ❤❤❤❤
FROM THE CRITIC CORNER: Totally and Completely, this girl without a doubt has a range making her a one person vocal orchestra!......
my true healing song...
Mine too
I know good singing and this woman is a beast in the best sense of the word. I love the way she uses her instrument (voice). She just sings with warm human passion that's heartfelt. She's a healer for the hurt💞
kdivatube sho u right.... FOR REAL

Mr E hilarious!
Me too and my voice sucks !😂
I am and will always be a fan of hers, I truly love the way she puts her all in this song and all of her stuff
AND...you gotta do it "from your heart"...
"So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye *from your hearts* forgive not every one their trespasses." --[Matthew 18:35]

QUEEN RACHELLE FERRELL (THANK YOU)
Rachelle is one of the best vocalist in the world.
This song is awesome. True forgiveness is the only thing that sets us free. This song truly makes you release forgiveness and feel that release throughout your entire being and by the time you get to the end of the song all you can do is sigh gently, smile and move forward with your life.
I love her singing this song
She's singing my heart tonight.
Same here
She destroyed this omg ! God , I love her so much
for me.... one of the best pieces of art ever produced. It's spiritually holistic on top of the music and vocals being amazing
I truly love this song and I truly have become healed and whole from simply forgiving. "I forgive you and I love you."
Her voice touches your very soul

foregiveness is freedom for both parties

For years one of the hardest challenges I had to overcome was the ability to forgive others and most importantly myself.
Untouchable, the best..this song just did it all for me, especially the one thing I could never do n that's forgive..my goodness..
This song speaks to my soul
love her!
Classic Rachelle Ferrell!...Beautifully poignant.
