Word I always thought how clever that lyric is after talking about one's ego the whole time in the song. Oh baby Spread the news Only here to deepen my soul No it ain't about money Turn the fear into energy 'Cause the toot and the smoke Won't fulfill the need Only one way, only one way Feel the feeling, energy of a kiss
"Uncle Marvin " encompassed ALL there was to the game he mastered. The "one way" was a clear reference to God Amighty. Marvin had to leave so early as he had lived double his lifespan and some.
I came looking for this after I read Jan Gaye’s book (9/2023). Knowing why he wrote this and when and what was happening in their life at the time, this makes me a little sad. But he’s still the GOAT!
Nice B-side track from his last Motown LP. Marvin was always on the "cutting edge" of music. Fitting the new phenomenon of Rap music introducing rhyme into this track.
Marvin Gaye - the best! That was when real talent made you feel good, no one else can make you feel as cool as Marvin! That's why I cannot listen to this song one time, talk about a loop, same way with The Anthology Album, "What's Goin' On" no words to express the genius of Marvin Gaye. RIP All the good music is definitely gone, but always remembered.
Just listening to In our lifetime? album for the first time. To be honest I wasn't expecting too much. I should've known better as I went into Here my dear, with the same low expectations and that's now probably my favourite Marvin Gaye album! First impressions are that I need to get In our lifetime?, and fast!
Same here. Knowing the history of "Here, My Dear" - that it was just to fulfill his contractual obligations to his ex-wife - I never even listen to it until perhaps five years ago. Was very pleasantly surprised.
“In Our Lifetime?” [purposely written with the “?“ to honor Marvin’s original wishes] is one of, if not the most, underrated MPG albums. Even the obviously unfinished “Far Cry” ain’t a bad song. 🤷🏾♀️
Back in the ‘90’s in the Olney section of Philly, I always had this playing when I used to pick up my young “baughs” in my Plymouth Voyager minivan to go play b-ball. Franco would always say “here comes Ben Brown playing his pimp music”😂😂. Schooled those youngins on running ball and real music. They also knew we weren’t going anywhere whitout a dollar from each person for gas😂😂. Miss those guys and those days 😢
Life With Marvin Gaye, Jan Gaye said this song was about Teddy Pendergrass. (Marvin was upset with Teddy's rising star & Jan's attraction to him) but also about Marvin himself.
Possibly Marvin also had heard rumors about Teddy being behind the murder of his manager and girlfriend Taaz Lang. Other 'rumors' suggest that the 1982 car accident in which Teddy became a paraplegic was the result of someone tampering with the brakes on his car in retribution for his suspected involvement in that 1977 homicide. The latter seems plausible because he was involved in at least one other similar accident before the one that paralyzed him and brake lines had been found to be cut on a number of his vehicles.
Marvin was way ahead of his time with this one. RS. Cocaine may have contributed to this. and I can understand y he was heavy into it but he was hurt. Had to give her everything and move back with his parents But nevertheless. It's a classic
Whenever I play this song in my car, I go from driving the speed limit 2 flirting with a ticket. Here, Marvin will forever be alive @ the TH-cam Juke Joint.. [posted March 28, 2021]

I heard this song was actually Marvin Gaye satirizing himself and other famous artists (like Teddy Pendergrass and Prince) of their flashy lifestyle and egoistical nature.
This was a single, part 1 and 2 on A and B side, for an album that never came together. Cocaine is a hell of a drug. This was Marvin Gaye hitting rock bottom.
since then, it finally surfaced as bonus tracks on the deluxe edition of "In Our Lifetime" 2CD. Originally called "Love Man" it consisted of basically the same instrumental tracks that were released as "in our lifetime" with different lyrics.
Y’all do know that this was created at his most weakest and insecure point? He was talking about Teddy Pendergrass this was all to shade Teddy. Y’all have to understand the back story to how and why this song was created! His wife’s book Jan Gaye sheds light on some of the craziest shit! Marvin was a fool but he was talented
This song very well may have intended to be about TP or shading TP but it becomes pretty obvious by the end that MG is indeed referring to himself. “Turn the fear into energy ‘cause the toot and the smoke, it won’t fulfill the need. Only one way, only one way.” 💡
"Turn the fear into energy, cause the toot and the smoke won't fulfill the need"...Marvin snuck in a spiritual message at the end
He Did 💯
He sure did sneak that in there and don’t forget the “Hey, hey, only _one_ way. Only _one_ way” line that is cut out of the 7 minute version.

Oh baby
Spread the news
Only here to deepen my soul
No it ain't about money
Turn the fear into energy
'Cause the toot and the smoke
Won't fulfill the need
Only one way, only one way
Feel the feeling, energy of a kiss

Most underrated Marvin track, could listen to this all night baby.
G.O.A.T One Of The Greatest Of All Time

I came looking for this after I read Jan Gaye’s book (9/2023). Knowing why he wrote this and when and what was happening in their life at the time, this makes me a little sad. But he’s still the GOAT!
I love Marvin Gaye Jr. so much.
marvin will and forever will be my biggest inspiration

Marvin Gaye could sing the alphabet, and make them panties fly at the stage.. ultra smooth, his legendary r&b and soul skills are pure magic ✨!
😂Right !
I LOVE U MARVIN GAYE....ALWAYS 4-EVA MY HEART!!!! R.I.P. SWEET SOUL PRINCE.
Marvin Gaye - the best! That was when real talent made you feel good, no one else can make you feel as cool as Marvin!

no words to express the genius of Marvin Gaye. RIP All the good music is definitely gone, but always remembered.
No doubt. The “What’s Goin On” album is a spiritual and sonic masterpiece. It is timeless, just like Marvin. We miss you Marvin
This man set the tone for hip hop with his rap in this song.
whoooo whooo ego trippin out super smooth
Can't wait for the movie.
ULTIMATE SWAG!!!
Marvin was so cool..

One of his funkiest albums! I had the LP for years and was afraid to listen to it until I read something on it and put it on and it was the bomb!
song called Praise
I’m currently reading his second wife’s book and I had to come and hear this, lol.
i got the moves like Marvin! :D
One of the greatest american singers and front man, im glad to see him while his famous and alive
“Check out this here 450 SE” only a Benz guy would get it! Marvin was a Suoer ⭐️

That time Marvin Gaye invented rap.
He was ahead of time there, for sure... th-cam.com/video/xxXNSEOZHAI/w-d-xo.html
Except that this actually has music in it. It's much better than rap.
The best
Flying high

What show is this from? Peace!
I'll bet it was Solid Gold.
Good Looking Out! Peace!
Yes..

Sounds like the first rap song created.
Apparently this was written about teddy pendergrass after hie wife ran off with him
Marvin wrote this in reference to teddy pendergrass.
In 1981 Rappin was Huge. It was new still
Jamelle Scott, not true, Marvin didn't die at age 40.
Is it true this about teddy pendagrass , don’t seem like it to me
"My name is Mok, thanks a lot."
Hilarious

I love you, Marvin. But this was NOT your finest hour, to say the least.
In your opinion only. smh
It was his last single when he was 40 years old and had hours to live
not. Sexual healing came out next in 1982
Marvin was a terrible at lip singing...I don't know if this is good or bad
Amazing musician, worst mimer in musical history 😅
Hey, this sounds like PPAP.
