This is the reason I go back to the classics... the "old school" if you will. That was back in the days of REAL music, with REAL singing, and REAL instruments being played in the background. No Autotune, No Dubstep. Just you, your talents and the mic. That's all you needed!
This song reminds me of when I first got CLEAN. I would ride my bike late at nite and listen to it over and over. That was 3yrs ago. THE MAGIC IS IN THE MUSIC!
I'm fourteen too, and I'm in love with oldschool music. I may be a LATE 90's baby but I love both 80's and 90's music. The best generations of music and talent.
Yes, you found a recent comment. Because people who have elite taste still exist. We are dwindling down though. Please never let these songs die.🙏 Class act!💯
I was born and raised to this kind of music. It's the only kind of music I listen to, today's music can never be compared to this kind. I'm 20 years old and this type of music makes me so happy to listen to 😍 it's so relaxing.
I'd like to take a walk on the beach while the sun is rising listening to this or listening to this on a rainy afternoon watching the rain fall down .. perfect.. I'm a sucker for the beauty in mother nature as long as it's not deadly weather lol
you're so right. I'm not just saying this cause I'm older cause I'm only 34. but even music my parents age had a message and was about love. This shit now is about nothing. No respect no love no romance, and most of them have no talent. it's sad that our kids can't look back at music like we can. think about it, we still play music from our parents Era and kids are playing R Kelly and stuff like that but what are their kids going to play? the music sucks now!
Never will we get anything that sound like these old groups again. So glad I was there to relate. Sad I remember when most of these groups were just kids!
Johnny sung this damn song in the GROUND..... His runs were nothing other than phenomenal not to mention how on point his breath control was... When he carried that note pass 20 secs.. #Ugh! Bra they just don't make rnb music as SeXi like this song anymore....
You know I think these late 80's 90's tracks made men. compassionate. To some women that really needed real men. I have a wife thats my best friend. No matter what.
Whenever I hear this song I am instantly taken back to the Fall of 1988 and I was serving in the Navy, stationed in Pensacola, FL. The days when you could turn on the radio and hear nothing but great music like this. Todays music is total garbage. Now I listen to XM radio, Heart and Soul channel. I absolutely love this song. It does something to me. In my opinion, New Edition's all time best song they have ever recorded.
+Leungo Rakola i just watched that movie again with my fiance!! lol its wierd saying fiance,, its juvenile insecurity but this type of music makes you feel confident about having a fiance and love as a man...music can really affect a generation,, i hope rnb like this makes a come back... oh and btw the movie made me really love this song..
What a song! So many different way you can interpret this song! For me it's having a woman by your side that is their for you and you for them no matter what! Because in life you will have rainy days.. The trick is to try to make it sunny and that's where the other person comes in to make it a better day by having the love you need to get you through it!
If only the world had songs like this today... relationships would last longer and cheating wouldn't be a "thing" everyone jumps to after arguing. I love me some R&B oldies
Beautiful song! This song means a lot. Too many relationships breaking apart. hard to find the one who can stand by u in good and bad times!!! Sing it RT!!!
This is real R&B music. I have been listening to these jams for over 20 years. And they never get old! Kids today don't know what real music is. The new rap they play nowadays is a joke. This kinda music is truly magical… I fell in love my first time listening to this real love music that has such meaning put into it by these amazing artists.
17 and Same here and as an artist myself it's so fucking horrible because there's no way to make real music because it gets over looked for shit like coco and bobby shmurda 😒 there's no hope for the future of music
28 people thumbs down... Must have been distracted by Lil Wayne or Ke$ha or whatever the main stream artists are today who claim they make music... As for the the rest of us, THIS IS REAL MUSIC... Wrote, performed, engineered and sang from the HEART... Man! These guys made a hit with this song. Still playing it faithfully in 2014.
This gets right to the heart of it ... can you stand the rain??? If the answer is yes, it is a true testament to your stick-to-ativeness in love and life!!! Can you dig it?
You are right frank,alot of men dont wanna be in one on one relationships cause love does make you vurnable,makes you do and say things you never thought you would do,thats why they wanna mess with different women,rather than be committed to just one.
This song is probably one on the best R&B songs ever...timeless...it takes strength in a relationship..that's what they talkin about now it's time for everybody readin this to ask themselves Can I Stand The Rain
Unfortunately the prevailing mentality, particularly in urban communities is such that love has become synonymous with weakness. It is my opinion, perhaps from personal experience, that we become anti -love, or haters of love because of feeling the emotional vulnerability that love brings. Prior negative experiences with love ranging from being cheated on to dropped for another often make people hate the entire exercise of emotionally tying oneself voluntarily to another. Men are often defined by their ability to not feel and to appear emotionless. This makes women objects to be collected, used, or otherwise pimped for money, sex, and or pieces of themselves used to make men feel good. I have taught my son that loving a woman is not weak. It is truly a strong man who can be hurt by love and use that pain to fuel himself into loving again. This person conquers the fear of the unknown and accepts the potential for future pain in exchange for the possibility of finding lasting love. He who loves nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
It is so refreshing to hear this. I often feel I'll never meet someone, that being in love doesnt...I dont know how to put it, like its out of reach for someone like me.
Shawnie every woman wants to be loved by a man. The fact that you still accept this desire is the beginning of a recipe for finding true love. Most love fails because it is misunderstood and not maintained. Being in love is like being in good physical shape, if one doesn't work to stay there, their condition/love becomes weak. Be encouraged and know that some men do want love and want to be loved. Women must stop falling in love with the wrong man. Men should be judged by the obvious, their concept of love, relationship with their mother, prior experiences with women, and most importantly "how they treat their woman." You'll find a good loving man if you use they days leading up to it to make yourself better at it. Women waste a lifetime looking for a husband and spend no time preparing to be a good wife.
+frank will I truly love your response. It is the utter truth. Many people in society no longer see love as something that should be cherished, but rather just a word that can simply be tossed around to obtain a good or service that they desire to receive from another. True love is lasting and yes we must all conquer the hurt of the past in order to receive it. However it is a gift worth waiting for.
i was DEFINITELY a new edition fan when i was growing up in the 80's. i wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world. and i STILL am. before and after bobby brown; lol
This is real R&B 💜💯🙌🏽
Damn straight it's real R&B!
This is the reason I go back to the classics... the "old school" if you will. That was back in the days of REAL music, with REAL singing, and REAL instruments being played in the background. No Autotune, No Dubstep. Just you, your talents and the mic. That's all you needed!

I am 13 and i just love 80's and 90's r&b. I have my parents to thank for showing me this wonderful music. Today's music just isn't the same.😧😧😧
Refreshing to see a young one like you, kid. :)
It's 2017 and New Edition is still relevant. Love it.
I'd like to take a walk on the beach while the sun is rising listening to this or listening to this on a rainy afternoon watching the rain fall down .. perfect.. I'm a sucker for the beauty in mother nature as long as it's not deadly weather lol
Same here
lol oh ok
Just be careful if there's lightning. Wouldn't want them to find you zapped but this song still playing :p
lovelygirldgaf 💯💦💦
Beautiful song that still speaks volumes to this day! Indeed, it's a question everyone needs to ask themselves before they commit to a relationship.
Take me back. Life was so good and the music just fit the time. unlike today's music.
I need somebody to stand by me :p
TAKE ME WITH YOU lol I would die of happiness
I really enjoyed listening to music that have a message that you can understand unlike some of the music today.
Every thing still remain tha same just people shit get rewrote a hour come people will reconcile
you're so right. I'm not just saying this cause I'm older cause I'm only 34. but even music my parents age had a message and was about love. This shit now is about nothing. No respect no love no romance, and most of them have no talent. it's sad that our kids can't look back at music like we can. think about it, we still play music from our parents Era and kids are playing R Kelly and stuff like that but what are their kids going to play? the music sucks now!
Love this. Are you in , or out, baby because it's gonna rain. The world will ALWAYS make love the true test of humanity, man , woman and true trust!!

You are very right my man
Thank you my fellow brother

Something is wrong with 599 people... who could possibly not like this song.
So sad. This song is beautiful 🔥❤️
Never will we get anything that sound like these old groups again. So glad I was there to relate. Sad I remember when most of these groups were just kids!
I wish this type of music would just make a come back, my god.

What a song! So many different way you can interpret this song!
For me it's having a woman by your side that is their for you and you for them no matter what!
Because in life you will have rainy days..
The trick is to try to make it sunny and that's where the other person comes in to make it a better day by having the love you need to get you through it!

Ms Payne I thank you for your comments. I agree wholeheartedly
