Wish I could remarry my wife and sing this entering the room and walking up to her!! She is so everything to me!! So worth it a thousand times over!! Claiming 80 years of marriage!!! Gods Will!!
This is what we need, more soul music!...Im tired of Pop R&B....I mean R&B is fine and all but todays R&B doesn't have any kind of soul in it...This music right here has soul and you can feel the music...
She is so underrated. I wish Neo-Soul artists got more air time on radio stations. I'm sick of the Beyonce/Rihanna's of the world with that cookie cutter crap that all sounds the same. More Goapele, Jill Scott, India Arie, Amel Larruiex, Angie Stone, Chrisette Michelle and Erykah Badu please.
That's because with her, it's all about the music, the vibe. It's not about selling a dream, selling an image, selling sex, selling out, or selling her soul.
I don’t think people really don’t understand what is going on here. She even says but I was waiting for some magical moment that would prove to me. This is it. Between Errols Cooney guitar and Eric Smith’s bass aka bass cello this is f’n magic. When you can make shit sound better live than the studio production you know you’ve WON.
NICE!!! First time ever really LISTENING to her ... and the band is KICKIN'!!! Another REAL singer who doesn't seem to be getting the recognition she deserves.
I swear every song that I've heard from this wonderful woman has literally been music to my ears. I am so glad that I got into her music and I feel that other people who don't know about her are missing out. Underrated!
As summer was ending, you were walking in It seemed my life was falling But in this season we were friends Six days into spring is where our story begins You didn't rush a thing But you knew you would win I never thought you'd be the only one I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun But I was waiting for some magical moment That would prove to me, forever would be fine Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line One of the first times I didn't feel alone Is when I was in your arms, you always made me feel at home We watched the sunrise 'cause the night had slipped away And from then until now, we've been through some different phases But you love the winter, love the challenge Always managed to think that we would make it I never thought you'd be the only one I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun But I was waiting for some magical moment That would prove to me, forever would be fine Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line So let me get used to things 'cause Gradual's my name I don't dive into the cold, I get in slow but every day I'm making peace with loving you, peace with being me Any, any pieces of us, I claim them all today I never thought you'd be the only one I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun But I was waiting for some magical moment That would prove to me, forever would be fine Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line Standing first in line Standing, standing
This woman gives me an Amel Larrieux and Vivian Green type of feel. I haven't heard this woman in a long time. I remember hearing this song when I was little but didn't really pay much attention to the lyrics. But that GUITAR BRIDGE PART??? OH MY GOD I was lured in IMMEDIATELY. It was one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard in my life and I've been introduced to some pretty deep R&B songs when I was little. It's shit like this that made me want to do music. It took me years to look for this song. I'm so glad I found it, for real
if she keeps on singing i'am gonna put a ring on her heart as well as her finger!!! lnteligent, gorgeous, beautiful moms!!! i have watched her career in the early beginning her voice is smoothing but she can rock out!! how the mainstream misses alot of artist is. beyond me! peace and blessing to you lady!! plus i neeed double vinyl of all your records!! ha. the tagman out.
.....Antony Johnson, he was my first LOVE.....we been throu alot and ul awlays have a place in my heart...glad we can jus chill and talk about life now......my first Love.. standing first in line.. i dedicate this to u....event tho its been like 3 yrs now....God bless.
Goapele is wonderful a lady and sweet as she can be.I knew she was special the very first time I heard her sing 'Closer will always remind me of the city of Sacramento where I first heard this songbird.
This is what is called REAL MUSIC. Unfortunately there are very few Neo Soul Artists out there who are keeping the SOUL of R&B alive. I ♥ this woman's vibe and groove. She is such a beautiful soul who is helping to lead the way for young sisters of ALL NATIONALITIES by showing that you DON'T have to sell out your looks and body just to appease the music industry and the masses who are so used to that sort of useless rubbish. She works very hard to promote herself the right way. Goapele is epic!
I really always loved her hair like this! She is Soo Soo beautiful aswell! Looks like a Queen!!! Love her features. Truly a beautiful modern day sophisticated Cleopatra!!!
I have been around for a very long time and I know great music and "so, so" music. The first time I heard this voice and this song I played about a thousand times and I wanted to play even more. This is (without a doubt ) GREAT MUSIC!!This artist is gifted beyond my own imagination. I saw her pay tribute to Anita Baker and her smile told us how much she enjoyed honoring Anita Baker.YES GOAPELE!!!!!
To the guitar player - I'm still chewing on them tasty chords. And thanks for not stepping all over the vocals with a bunch of runs. I love love love this live version. Wish it was in HD. Edit Sept 2018 after not hearing this for years, I come back here and I'm floored at Errol playing at 2:59. That was some nice phrasing!! Bass man is mos def playing some sticky bass. I'll take this over the studio version ALL DAY.
I was sick near to death in 2006 and this song used to be played on the radio - I'd be half asleep due to the medication - I never knew the artist who sang it - thanks TH-cam & GOAPELE 👍
I my goodness that was awesome! And I usually don't like Neo Soul or R&B at all! And she looks so beautiful and so happy as she's singing that song! If more 21st Century R&B was like this, there probably would be fewer R&B haters out there!!
@prutyladyd07 you said a mouthful.. Thank you I am in agreement with you and the world would be a better place if we did hear the artists more on air. So I'll giv emy props to youtube
She has a strong beautiful voice. She has a telent that is raw. I like her because she has the pure talent that is so much desired of artists today. I think so anyway. I hope she go places and not be passed over like so many other good talents. Blessings to all.
My sister introduced me to her music and I've been a fan ever since. She has such an amazing aura and her lyrics are pure truth wrapped in harmonious colors :-)
The group Fame or Juliet is opening up for her on August 6th at the Boston Urban Music Festival! Look them up...I added their video to the video response on this video.
Wish I could remarry my wife and sing this entering the room and walking up to her!! She is so everything to me!! So worth it a thousand times over!! Claiming 80 years of marriage!!! Gods Will!!
Is that a typo....80 years?
That was beautifully said 😍😍
You could sing it to her when you renew your vouls
Best wishes!!So sweet
😭😭😭❤❤❤ beautiful sentiment
Thats my Daddy Playing that funky Bass!!
Angel Smith0 Annnd he straight up killed it!!!!! I always brag about how dope the bass is on this song!!! Great job pops!!!🙏
THAT'S RIGHT TELL EVERYONE HONEY!
He baaad!!!
Your dad added volume to this song!
Valyn Spottsville - Great bass on this!
I love the way she smiles as she performs. She exudes pure joy.
This is what we need, more soul music!...Im tired of Pop R&B....I mean R&B is fine and all but todays R&B doesn't have any kind of soul in it...This music right here has soul and you can feel the music...
1000, million percent.
She is so underrated. I wish Neo-Soul artists got more air time on radio stations. I'm sick of the Beyonce/Rihanna's of the world with that cookie cutter crap that all sounds the same. More Goapele, Jill Scott, India Arie, Amel Larruiex, Angie Stone, Chrisette Michelle and Erykah Badu please.
That's because with her, it's all about the music, the vibe. It's not about selling a dream, selling an image, selling sex, selling out, or selling her soul.
she gives me the sade vibe..i mean no1 can ever replace sade but she jus has tht positive, soulfull, beautiful ora like she does
I hope and pray GOD could let me have this kind of love
The Bass Player held this song together nicely!
My Daddy Did that Right!!
I don’t think people really don’t understand what is going on here. She even says but I was waiting for some magical moment that would prove to me. This is it.

Still listening 2019!!!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The 2 people that "disliked" this song are smoking something. She is amazing. I've seen her in person she's a really nice person.
Watch on 8/28/23. ❤ Still here. Tryna to change the world and love life.😇
She's so underrated.
This beautiful black sista slays.
I think she would sound great singing over some reggae beats. Come to Jamaica Goapele.
NICE!!! First time ever really LISTENING to her ... and the band is KICKIN'!!! Another REAL singer who doesn't seem to be getting the recognition she deserves.
I dedicate this song to my love, Brenda...if you are listening
I swear every song that I've heard from this wonderful woman has literally been music to my ears. I am so glad that I got into her music and I feel that other people who don't know about her are missing out. Underrated!
Beautiful woman with a beautiful voice.
How is this video doesn't have like a billion views.🎶💯
She’s an angel she’s the last female talent we got rn
She's underrated because she make good real music, and dresses like a queen.
As summer was ending, you were walking in
It seemed my life was falling
But in this season we were friends
Six days into spring is where our story begins
You didn't rush a thing
But you knew you would win
I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line
One of the first times I didn't feel alone
Is when I was in your arms, you always made me feel at home
We watched the sunrise 'cause the night had slipped away
And from then until now, we've been through some different phases
But you love the winter, love the challenge
Always managed to think that we would make it
I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line
So let me get used to things 'cause Gradual's my name
I don't dive into the cold, I get in slow but every day
I'm making peace with loving you, peace with being me
Any, any pieces of us, I claim them all today
I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in line
Standing first in line
Standing, standing
She is so underrated. She is amazing. Just like most really talented people she's not getting the recognition she deserves.
Goapele and Errol Cooney were truly heaven sent to us. We’re not worthy! ❤️
OMG THIS IS THE SONG I PLAY BEFORE AND AFTER .MY FIRST BABY Was born ..........I love you woman 😘
Goapele, Goapele, Goapele! Real music! Real music! Real music!
28 and looking for that first love
She has a beautiful voice. She also reminds me of my wife.
Bass straight nasty, funky, killing!
That bass line?!..Holy ish!!!...This song is soooo sensual!!!
This woman gives me an Amel Larrieux and Vivian Green type of feel. I haven't heard this woman in a long time.

It took me years to look for this song. I'm so glad I found it, for real
Why and how in the world, am I just now finding out about this amazing talent!!!!!
We have to get back to true love music and high frequency vibes. Cancel industry music and entertainers that poison our souls.
Goepele a true hidden gem. LAWD I love this song.
I'm just gonna put this out there, but listening her makes me wish she was singin about me. I love how she shows her appreciation through her music.
if she keeps on singing i'am gonna put a ring on her heart as well as her finger!!! lnteligent, gorgeous, beautiful moms!!! i have watched her career in the early beginning her voice is smoothing but she can rock out!! how the mainstream misses alot of artist is. beyond me! peace and blessing to you lady!! plus i neeed double vinyl of all your records!! ha. the tagman out.

She's beautiful & talented. I love this song. This is real music. Some of today''s music, EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!!! No pun intended.
Goapele is wonderful a lady and sweet as she can be.I knew she was special the very first time I heard her sing 'Closer will always remind me of the city of Sacramento where I first heard this songbird.

I swear she's singing from my journal. Love her as an artist she speaks to my soul
Love the song. But the singer, Goapele, is stunningly beautiful. This woman is saturated with beauty. Her husband must me a very happy man.
This sista's voice is fire , she can sang not sing ,sang

Your voice is perfect , to say the least.
Loved this song forever! Too underrated.
LUv her and her music you could just feel her soul

I went to a Jam’n 94.5 concert in middle school and they had this song on a cd along with Chris Brown & Lyfe Jennings
One of my all time favourites. Is anyone hearing that bass guitar? Sick
To the guitar player - I'm still chewing on them tasty chords. And thanks for not stepping all over the vocals with a bunch of runs. I love love love this live version. Wish it was in HD.

I was sick near to death in 2006 and this song used to be played on the radio - I'd be half asleep due to the medication - I never knew the artist who sang it - thanks TH-cam & GOAPELE 👍

Why is she still slept on.I've seen her live and she sounds just as amazing.
...Awesome lady!!...and a great song, bravaaa
Give this amazing some songs and we’ll be all right
Just saw her live. I was hoping she’d play this jam, but no such luck. I’m broken hearted 💔 This song is EVERYTHING & my favorite from her.
The guitar player is killing it,
She's beautiful and so are her backup singers, especially the one closer in frame @ 1:10. Mamma Mia!
You're welcome. The brother is most certainly talented.
she's perfect to me!
love from Illinois! ♥
I see Her every saturday with her daughter at the destiny art studio in oakland CA
This song has been stuck in my head for the past 4 months and it was soooo hard finding it because I though it was an Alicia Keys song.
She has a strong beautiful voice. She has a telent that is raw. I like her because she has the pure talent that is so much desired of artists today. I think so anyway. I hope she go places and not be passed over like so many other good talents. Blessings to all.
this song is a perfect Traffic Stress releaver .. o-ya
My sister introduced me to her music and I've been a fan ever since. She has such an amazing aura and her lyrics are pure truth wrapped in harmonious colors :-)
This girl is like pure medicine! Love, light and beauty!
The group Fame or Juliet is opening up for her on August 6th at the Boston Urban Music Festival! Look them up...I added their video to the video response on this video.
Love her songs. play "First Love" for my man all the time

This song is almost 5 years old and I still love it!!
