Today my daughter would’ve turned 45. She passed of a long battle with brain cancer. She picked her music for her funeral. And this was the first song on her track. I saw this today on my TH-cam. And had to listen to it. I know what the song means, but she used it as a way to say how said she was to die.
This song is officially a quarter century (25) years old. Let that sink in. 1999 doesn’t feel like it was that long ago. This & TLC’s “No Scrubs” got so much airplay back then.
The real reason guys dig this song very much. Modern women tends to be stronger than the men, to what end I can't really tell, doesn't really work with guys, but what do I know
This is the last song my father let me listen to the night before his massive heart attack in 2000. He lived another 12 years, despite doctors expectations. Always will have a place in my heart.
My dad loved this song way back when. I remember him playing it on CD in his truck when we'd drive around. It hits that nostalgia for me and takes me back to the good ole days. He's been gone since August 2021. Love and miss him so much.
Haha my dad's ''favorite song'' ((despite having made a good living in a 60's R&B band)) was a comparable 90's song. He died a few years ago. My sister played Amazing Grace on her Ipod instead of his favorite song, when he died. That's gonna haunt me forever. I hope you honor your father! I hope you receive all the lessons he taught you from now until the day you die! I hope that one day you rock out and feel at peace at the sound of his name.
I don't think she was. If anything she was overrated. She was everywhere and just ...meh. She was okay but people started comparing her to Aretha and Etta. Nah! Plus its good she vanished. Seemed like fame diodn't suit her, she was off her nut at the Brits and no one from her label seemed to be doing anything about it. Maybe it was a blessing that saved her from being another discarded victim of the music business
When my son was 2 we listened to this in the car and he loved it! He would ask to hear it often and we would both sing to it as loud as we could. October 2020 we will be dancing to this song at his wedding because of our beautiful memories together while singing this beautiful song...together. Thank you Macy! 💞
Lo vorrei anche io....purtroppo non esiste più l amore per la musica e per le parole esiste solo il business..i giovani non sanno più cosa sia la vera musica😢
This song used to play on the radio when my mum used to travel together as a child, haven’t seen her in 5 years. Lord please heal our pain and reunite us, because this pain is heavy.
Its 2019 and I'm at work. Macy gray walks in and tries to conceal her identity when asked for ID for a pack of smokes. she calls a friend over and immediately when she spoke it was a dead give away. I then sing a line from this song and she burst out laughing. Beautiful woman. My night has been made 5/5/2019❤.
My mom loves macy gray and this song takes me right back to being a little kid. It’s 2024 and I’m a 31 year old grown up now. Crazy how a song can place you right back to a place and time all while bringing you to happy tears. Cheers to music for being so great ❤
Sometimes I hate my generation. We were in high school/college when this came out and many of us mocked her voice and unusual style, too stupid and immature to understand and appreciate excellence. It’s just now, with experiences in the world and wisdoms, that we revert back to this golden time and capture the brilliance of Macy Gray that we should’ve captured back then. ❤
@@zaidamaganda You're 💯 % correct in thinking that because it's true. The world(and life in general) changed and began a downward spiral in 2001. The mid 90s and the year 2000 were such fun, optimistic times. When Al Gore lost to George W. Bush in the 2000 election everything went sour and it's never recovered.
This song reminds me of my 22 year old son who died in 2007. I thank Macy for this. Some say we just need to cry and those days are farther and farther apart..
@@maleisac4727 Here I am back listening again 2 years later. Thank you for your reply, I hope you get this. I do know where my son is because he believed in Jesus. This has comforted me more than I can ever say.
My mom and I used to sing this song together when I was younger, she took her own life last month and I just started going through home movies & found a clip of us singing this 😭
😯😢😭 I extend my sincerest heartfelt condolences to you and your family, I've lost my mom as well( heart attack in her sleep) and I know how deep and painful the void is...
Anyone else listening to this sweet song in 2022? I love this clip, I love this girl's voice. Is beautiful. Alguém mais ouvindo essa doce canção em 2022? Eu adoro esse vídeo, a voz de Marcy, tudo é muito lindo nela --------------- ❤🔥💖💥🐝🐝🐞
"it could be a love song, but it's really a heartbreaker with a very personal story behind it. Macy Gray was signed to Atlantic Records in the mid-'90s as part of a rock band, but the album they made never got released. With her music career kaput, Gray became a secretary and married her boyfriend, a mortgage broker named Tracy Hinds. They had three children together but split up just as Gray got a solo deal with Epic Records. Many of the songs Gray wrote for her first album were about Hinds, including "I Try," where she explains that she wants to be strong and leave his memory behind, but can't bring herself to do so"
Real emotions too complicated to fake. It shows. Bittersweet no doubt. Leaving behind everything you've loved for everything you've ever wanted. This isn't my kinda music, but it's one of my favourite songs. Realness transcends taste.
This song reminds me of a girl I used to work with in a supermarket deli dept back in 1999. It was always on the radio we had out the back. We had some great fun as 17/18 year olds, a lot of laughs and memories, youth, not a care in the world, our first ever job and living life. All the full time staff always went home at 5pm and us ''young ones'' (most of us had been there since age 16 from highschool) used to start at 4pm til closing. I remember the day she left, the supermarket closed at 9pm and her and I had to clean down and do everything we needed to do and try and get out as soon as possible - usually 9.15pm. Just before we were about to turn the lights off and walk to go get changed and go home...this came on the radio, and I vividly remember her singing and miming to this song in front of me. Was almost as if she was saying goodbye through this song. Like, it was her way of saying it. I stood there and said ''So.....'' We hugged and she said ''Will see ya round one day, but just in case we don't..... remember me by that song''. I remember walking out through the aisles with her and I said ''Hey, do you want a ride home?'' as knew she didn't have a car, and she said ''No, it's cool'' By the time I got in my car and drove out of the parking lot, she had vanished. I've never ever seen her again. Over the years I've tried looking her up on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, nothing. Maybe one day.
that happened to me with my really good friend Leonora! like... one day she just disappears on me somewhere around... back in 05/06 n haven't heard from her ever since. even went to the bakery she owned once, they said all they know is she moved to Houston Texas. n the two times I went to Houston I'd even be driving around with eyes wide open to see if maybe I can spot her somewhere out there with no luck. but hey! who knows... this is a small world really! maybe one day we'll bump into our friends again. ps: i know it has nothing to do with this song, just thought ur story was cute!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. You made me cry and will add to my memory of this song 🤗 Life would be meaningless without such songs and stories - I sincerely hope you'll find her one day
@@pwelti Thank you. I hope so too one day. I sometimes think she knew we never would see each other again, but couldn't actually say ''goodbye''. Almost like it was planned or she had thought about it. It's still very vivid to me now, almost 22 years later (will be in October). I hope she has had a happy life.
Ya know, it’s been probably 20 years since I’ve heard this song (or even thought about it). For some reason today, totally out of the blue, I started singing the chorus as I unloaded the dishwasher. An hour later I’m sitting in my living room watching this and crying like a baby and I have NO CLUE WHY
Sometimes you don’t realize how great a song is until you hear it years later & it hits you in a different way. I don’t even necessarily like this type of music or this genre, but this song really speaks to me. That’s the true mark of any great art. Love & peace 💚✌️
I was born in 98 so I was 2 when this song came out but somehow I remember it, I listened to it for the first time earlier this year and it hit different, beautiful track
Same, I brushed it off when I was young, thought it sounded funny. Now when I hear the lyrics I'm thinkin' "Dayum this song speaks to me. It's sung but it speaks!" Suddenly all the stuff from that era is all making sense to me. Huh.
100%. Tbh I'm not even sure what this genre would be, but this song speaks to every, i think. It's written in the same format as standards from the early 20th century & even classic hits from the 1950s & 60s etc.
So true man. So much of the music from this era I hated as a teen because it was "mainstream trash" and I was an edgelord. Coming back and comparing to current music, one realizes there was a lot of good shit from back then.
WOW. I'm f***kin' blown away right now. I've never heard this woman before. Thank you Macy. I'm sorry, I am from a tiny pacific island... this is just too much. Macy, you have such a unique voice that's beyond explanation. whew!!
**LYRICS** Games, changes and fears When will they go from here When will they stop I believe that fate has brought us here And we should be together babe But we're not I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin' I try to say goodbye and I choke Try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not here Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not here I may appear to be free But I'm just a prisoner of your love And I may seem all right and smile when you leave But my smiles are just a front Just a front, hey I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you And I'll try to keep my cool, but I'm fiendin' I try to say goodbye and I choke Try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not here Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not here Here is my confession May I be your possession Boy, I need your touch Your love, kisses and such With all my might I try But this I can't deny Deny I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you (but I'm dreaming of you babe) And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin' I try to say goodbye and I choke Try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not here Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not here
Here after the All Star National Anthem! Loved it, love your unique voice & style!!! And after listening this song came to mind & now I can’t stop listening to it!!!!!!!
Crying like hell listening to this right now after a very long time, .................. oooooooooh this nostalgia!!!!! 😭😭💔😭💔💔😭 Please take me back to these times when there was no war, no pandemic and don`t know what else, ....... 😔😔😔
I thought it was me just boo hoo crying … I sing this song to my dog and I had to check him into day care cus I am a truck driver and I am missing my baby
Man memories. I was addicted to this song for many many years. I always thought it would have been epic if Macy Gray and Cee Lo Green would have did a duet.
BadAssSykO I used to play this on repeat in my car and my grandson would whinge and moan all the way to school about it...lol he loathes this song but I still love it...and yep the dude in it is a babe..
@nanofox3725 Please tell me why you would need strangers to bring you back to what you call an "amazing song"? If you love it that much, I would think that it would always be with you, at least on a playlist. So what's up? 😒
Definitely a song you listen to when you feel like you’re in love or crushing or feeling like you want somebody but just don’t know how to get them. Definitely the vibe in 2021.
this is happening to me rn. i’ve been thinking about it all day. i didn’t know who macy gray was, i found her through ariana grande’s album. i looked her up and that’s the first comment on her first song that comes up:)
I think "love" is just a mass phycosis created by "the man"... Wake up to yourself nobody cares about you for too long! PS. Sorry to sound So negative I'm sure you'll find somebody..
Games, changes and fears When will they go from here When will they stop?

Juegos, cambios y miedos ¿Cuándo se irán de aquí? ¿Cuándo se detendrán? Yo creo que el destino nos ha traído aquí Y deberíamos estar juntos nena pero no estamos Lo juego, pero estoy soñando contigo Y mantendré la calma, pero soy diabólico Intento despedirme y me ahogo Trato de alejarme y tropiezo Aunque trato de ocultarlo, está claro Mi mundo se derrumba cuando no estás cerca Adiós y me ahogo Intento alejarme y tropiezo Aunque trato de ocultarlo, está claro Mi mundo se derrumba cuando no estás cerca Puedo parecer libre Pero solo soy un prisionero de tu amor Y puedo parecer bien y sonreír cuando te vayas Pero mis sonrisas son solo un frente Solo un frente, hey Y lo juego, pero estoy soñando contigo Y trataré de mantener la calma, pero estoy loco Intento despedirme y me ahogo (yeah) Trato de alejarme y tropiezo Aunque trato de ocultarlo, está claro Mi mundo se derrumba cuando no estás cerca Adiós y me ahogo (yeah) Intento alejarme y tropiezo Aunque trato de ocultarlo, está claro Mi mundo se derrumba cuando no estás cerca Aquí está mi confesión ¿Puedo ser tu posesión? Chico, necesito tu toque Tu amor, besos y tal Con todas mis fuerzas lo intento Pero esto no lo puedo negar Negar Lo juego, pero estoy soñando contigo (pero estoy soñando contigo nena) Y mantendré la calma, pero soy diabólico Intento despedirme y me ahogo (yeah) Trato de alejarme y (oh) tropiezo Aunque trato de ocultarlo, está claro Mi mundo se derrumba cuando no estás cerca Adiós y me ahogo Intento alejarme y tropiezo Aunque trato de ocultarlo, está claro Mi mundo se derrumba cuando no estás cerca
"My world crumbles while you are not there". I'll be honest, I've heard this song so much, and this is the first time it actually dawned on me that that's how the lyrics go in the chorus.
I probably heard this song for the first time about 13+ years ago and it wasn't until just today that I came to the same realization. Crazy how we can go our entire lives absentmindedly filling in the blanks like this.
I was in a cab earlier with a friend and this came on BBC radio 2. Couldn't help but sing along. The elderly cab driver was singing along too. Great moment.
"I Try" - lyrics Games, changes, and fears When will they go from here? When will they stop? I believe that fate has brought us here And we should be together, babe But we're not I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near I may appear to be free But I'm just a prisoner of your love I may seem alright and smile when you leave But my smiles are just a front, just a front I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Here is my confession May I be your possession Boy, I need your touch Your love kisses, and such With all my might I try But this I can't deny, deny I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near
Okay, looking at these great lyrics from this great song, I just have a question...what the heck does "fiendin" mean ? ? If someone can please explain. It must be a word to cool for me to be familiar with ! But I really want to know !
My first CD was this album and I'll forever be grateful for the lessons it taught me and the hard times it helped me survive. Thank you for existing Madam Macy Gray. ❤
I have always heard this song growing up but have never truly understood it until my very first girlfriend left. It makes me remember that sort of love that seemed as if it would outlast time. Everyday with her was like a daydream. I am truly greatful to have had these experiences with her.
I was 9. Woke up at 6:30-7ish that morning to an unexpected TV alarm blaring this song with no remote in sight. And I mean blaring. I tried to manually turn off the 23 inch wide Macy Gray that was pretending to sniff flowers on my living room. We had no choice but to listen to the rest before unplugging the damn thing. Three of us in the room. One slept through it.
I discovered this song when Andy sang this on The Office. Such a lovely song.
Same
me too!!
Sameee ! Just finished watching the episode
Liked Andy's more lol
me too

Can take a vent if you need to x
This song is officially a quarter century (25) years old. Let that sink in. 1999 doesn’t feel like it was that long ago. This & TLC’s “No Scrubs” got so much airplay back then.

Macy gray being on of the most underrated musicians of this century, LOVE HER.
Unique voice
I agree brother!!
Underrated - I always believed she was GREAT!
yes
I love her too!!!!
Macy Gray was ahead of her time. The world wasn’t ready for her, and yet her jams are timeless.
AMEN
You say that like she wasn't hugely famous

@@ionaramsay525 she's in several movies for instance Spiderman. She wasn't under the radar unless you were under a rock.

Not a movie buff - so glad t hear it!
we need these vibes back in 2021.
Yes, please! :D
I concur gallant. Stay safe.
Dude i woke up and this song was playing in my head for some reason. It's probably been over 10 years since i last heard it too it's amazing...
I think so too (ciao dall'Italia)
Yessss, please.
There is a refreshing honesty and humility in this song
The real reason guys dig this song very much. Modern women tends to be stronger than the men, to what end I can't really tell, doesn't really work with guys, but what do I know
Maybe what you meant is that she was humble enough to show a man effort. Women are so strong these days that they’re too proud to meet us halfway.
@@kitoTacWard1521 What a stupid comment.
@@elvisnegron1410 I am not proud, I can meet halfway.

May he RIP...God bless 🙏

Music is the key to the soul my friend. I've been by myself for 5 years and music always pulls me through everything even if it takes some time.
My mom and I used to sing this song together when I was younger, she took her own life last month and I just started going through home movies & found a clip of us singing this 😭
😯😢😭 I extend my sincerest heartfelt condolences to you and your family, I've lost my mom as well( heart attack in her sleep) and I know how deep and painful the void is...
Sorry
Sorry to hear that
I'm so so sorry.
So sorry. Those memories are going to keep her close the rest of your life. Like something Noone can steal. Love is eternal
Never have I ever heard a voice like her. She is truly unique in the music industry. Love her!
This song is 20 years old, we getting old 90s kids
Look at us though. Still living. Kids now days will never have what we had, a life 😎

Tim Cleall what? A lot of gen z like me had a life. It was amazing. Your comment made no sense.
Very similar voice to the one & only Tina Turner!!!
Am i the only one who thinks she has a lovely voice
I do think she has a lovely voice..:-)
Sure! She has!
So do I, you're not alone.
Amo
me too!!
I am also 57, in April of this year. Happy birthday Macy. Great voice!
There's something so emotional about this song. I can't really explain why. It sounds very sincere, I guess.
Library
Agreed
I think it's the tune, the chords are beautiful omg
Gui Porto melody sounds like what lyrics are saying. The best songs do that. Melody has regret and longing in it.
Ikr? That park scene gets me every time!😍
this song is 16 years old in now in 2015, and it's not dated at all, still fresh
+Tal Mamatov Is it really that old? Jeez where has the time gone?
Me Too
yah great things never date

Anyone else listening to this sweet song in 2022? I love this clip, I love this girl's voice. Is beautiful. Alguém mais ouvindo essa doce canção em 2022? Eu adoro esse vídeo, a voz de Marcy, tudo é muito lindo nela --------------- ❤🔥💖💥🐝🐝🐞
22 years later, and still a great song‼️
22 años después, y aún Sigue siento una buena canción ‼️😍
Love her and this song!
Girl, I try to say goodbye and not choke, try to walk away and not stumble. Heeyyy
Yep this song puts you in a good place
Listening 22'
One of the most unique, beautiful voices I've ever heard
This song takes me back to a time when the world just seemed so simple and easy
That is just because we were too young to know any better
Sense when was the world easy? We were just all innocent and didn’t know much about the world.
Obama ruined america. This was the beginning of the end times
@@timweedon2785 you had to make it political?
It never was, you just were young and naive
"it could be a love song, but it's really a heartbreaker with a very personal story behind it. Macy Gray was signed to Atlantic Records in the mid-'90s as part of a rock band, but the album they made never got released. With her music career kaput, Gray became a secretary and married her boyfriend, a mortgage broker named Tracy Hinds. They had three children together but split up just as Gray got a solo deal with Epic Records. Many of the songs Gray wrote for her first album were about Hinds, including "I Try," where she explains that she wants to be strong and leave his memory behind, but can't bring herself to do so"
Real emotions too complicated to fake. It shows.
Bittersweet no doubt. Leaving behind everything you've loved for everything you've ever wanted.
This isn't my kinda music, but it's one of my favourite songs. Realness transcends taste.
@@gourmetwaters6916 well said.
thank you
Truth --- my guy produced it -- true -- what a sad mess people can make of something. Sad. :(
Sadly then OMG for album 2 -- so horrible 9-11 happened and ya know -- our poor world and the music biz just went who knows where. :(
Just came to listen to this after seeing her with Piers Morgan great voice and common sense !
Me too! 😅 A true woman
Me too! Respect from 🇧🇷 Brazil!
Boooom
Unfortunately she recently retracted her statements.
Same! ☺️👍🏻
Happy Birthday Queen☀️🌍
this song makes me want to go back to the early 2000's
Yes
favorite part is 1:06
Yes, yes and yes the good ole days
Me Too!!
@@EuwellPerriCLlido I blow bubbles when ur not near
This song reminds me of a girl I used to work with in a supermarket deli dept back in 1999. It was always on the radio we had out the back. We had some great fun as 17/18 year olds, a lot of laughs and memories, youth, not a care in the world, our first ever job and living life. All the full time staff always went home at 5pm and us ''young ones'' (most of us had been there since age 16 from highschool) used to start at 4pm til closing. I remember the day she left, the supermarket closed at 9pm and her and I had to clean down and do everything we needed to do and try and get out as soon as possible - usually 9.15pm. Just before we were about to turn the lights off and walk to go get changed and go home...this came on the radio, and I vividly remember her singing and miming to this song in front of me. Was almost as if she was saying goodbye through this song. Like, it was her way of saying it. I stood there and said ''So.....'' We hugged and she said ''Will see ya round one day, but just in case we don't..... remember me by that song''. I remember walking out through the aisles with her and I said ''Hey, do you want a ride home?'' as knew she didn't have a car, and she said ''No, it's cool'' By the time I got in my car and drove out of the parking lot, she had vanished. I've never ever seen her again. Over the years I've tried looking her up on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, nothing. Maybe one day.
that happened to me with my really good friend Leonora! like... one day she just disappears on me somewhere around... back in 05/06 n haven't heard from her ever since. even went to the bakery she owned once, they said all they know is she moved to Houston Texas. n the two times I went to Houston I'd even be driving around with eyes wide open to see if maybe I can spot her somewhere out there with no luck. but hey! who knows... this is a small world really! maybe one day we'll bump into our friends again.
ps: i know it has nothing to do with this song, just thought ur story was cute!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. You made me cry and will add to my memory of this song 🤗 Life would be meaningless without such songs and stories - I sincerely hope you'll find her one day
@@pwelti Thank you. I hope so too one day. I sometimes think she knew we never would see each other again, but couldn't actually say ''goodbye''. Almost like it was planned or she had thought about it. It's still very vivid to me now, almost 22 years later (will be in October). I hope she has had a happy life.
@@chloedemalmanche6021 good luck 👍🏻
WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST IN FINDING HER ,MAYBE SHE'S ALSO LOOKING 4 YOU
Ya know, it’s been probably 20 years since I’ve heard this song (or even thought about it). For some reason today, totally out of the blue, I started singing the chorus as I unloaded the dishwasher. An hour later I’m sitting in my living room watching this and crying like a baby and I have NO CLUE WHY
Lol
Maybe because you remember 20 years ago like it was yesterday and it makes you feel like time is flying by and you all have left are distant memories
Wow… that’s very …. encouraging (?) of you…
Actually same thing happened to me
You're tapped in babes! its a message from the universe..although their voice mails can be confusing. 💙 BE WELL. 🕯️
There is no one who has that voice, AMAZING she is funny, caring, giving and loving
Sometimes you don’t realize how great a song is until you hear it years later & it hits you in a different way. I don’t even necessarily like this type of music or this genre, but this song really speaks to me. That’s the true mark of any great art. Love & peace 💚✌️
I was born in 98 so I was 2 when this song came out but somehow I remember it, I listened to it for the first time earlier this year and it hit different, beautiful track
Same, I brushed it off when I was young, thought it sounded funny. Now when I hear the lyrics I'm thinkin' "Dayum this song speaks to me. It's sung but it speaks!" Suddenly all the stuff from that era is all making sense to me. Huh.
100%. Tbh I'm not even sure what this genre would be, but this song speaks to every, i think. It's written in the same format as standards from the early 20th century & even classic hits from the 1950s & 60s etc.
Sooo true
So true man. So much of the music from this era I hated as a teen because it was "mainstream trash" and I was an edgelord. Coming back and comparing to current music, one realizes there was a lot of good shit from back then.
WOW. I'm f***kin' blown away right now. I've never heard this woman before. Thank you Macy. I'm sorry, I am from a tiny pacific island... this is just too much. Macy, you have such a unique voice that's beyond explanation. whew!!
SURE; Macy has MAGIC running to her fingertips. You may be from a tiny Pacific island but you have brought this woman to your island!
Many people
Haven’t heard of her , so you not alone!
Welcome to the time of great music there were lots of good songs win this one was made but this is one of the greats
Check out her song "Still". Powerful!
Then "Sugar Daddy"! What range!
I've been a Macy Gray fan since the beginning, can't believe it's been 25 years 😳 this song still hits in 2023 ♥️
Y aun suena .02/2024
Macy Gray has a unique singing voice, I love it. She is also a very good actress (Training Day!).
**LYRICS**
Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together babe
But we're not
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'
I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
And I may seem all right and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front
Just a front, hey
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
And I'll try to keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'
I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Here is my confession
May I be your possession
Boy, I need your touch
Your love, kisses and such
With all my might I try
But this I can't deny
Deny
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
(but I'm dreaming of you babe)
And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'
I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here

No body needed your lyrics, why you making yourself busy for?
Here after the All Star National Anthem! Loved it, love your unique voice & style!!! And after listening this song came to mind & now I can’t stop listening to it!!!!!!!
Nah. It ain't Macy's fault, but the NBA needs to stop trying to chase unique voices for the all star game national anthem.

Song touched my soul. First heard it driving from Onsite (therapy) in Tennessee to Illinois. Cleansed and open. Thank you Macy for the music.

Man memories. I was addicted to this song for many many years. I always thought it would have been epic if Macy Gray and Cee Lo Green would have did a duet.
BadAssSykO Yes, that needs to happen
Sia
BadAssSykO yes a duet oh my epic thought!!!
BadAssSykO I used to play this on repeat in my car and my grandson would whinge and moan all the way to school about it...lol he loathes this song but I still love it...and yep the dude in it is a babe..
What happened to cee lo
Just going to leave this comment here, that way when someone likes it in a few years I'll be reminded of this amazing song.
@nanofox3725 Please tell me why you would need strangers to bring you back to what you call an "amazing song"? If you love it that much, I would think that it would always be with you, at least on a playlist. So what's up? 😒

This song has been stuck in my head for YEARS!!!
Yooo! I just 'found' this song in 2024 😮🤯
I’m here. Just so mesmerizing!
Meeeeeee
Everybody with good taste... Duh
Definitely a song you listen to when you feel like you’re in love or crushing or feeling like you want somebody but just don’t know how to get them. Definitely the vibe in 2021.
this is happening to me rn. i’ve been thinking about it all day. i didn’t know who macy gray was, i found her through ariana grande’s album. i looked her up and that’s the first comment on her first song that comes up:)
exactly, your opinion couldn't be more accurate
Cause no other year have people experienced such a feeling? Lol TH-cam comments be like,
Just be gentle with yourself and be kind as well, that feeling will pass.
I think "love" is just a mass phycosis created by "the man"... Wake up to yourself nobody cares about you for too long!
PS. Sorry to sound So negative I'm sure you'll find somebody..

It's like the sun bursting through the clouds after a storm...

Amo esta canción 💖
This is in description.
Juegos, cambios y miedos
¿Cuándo se irán de aquí?
¿Cuándo se detendrán?
Yo creo que el destino nos ha traído aquí
Y deberíamos estar juntos nena
pero no estamos
Lo juego, pero estoy soñando contigo
Y mantendré la calma, pero soy diabólico
Intento despedirme y me ahogo
Trato de alejarme y tropiezo
Aunque trato de ocultarlo, está claro
Mi mundo se derrumba cuando no estás cerca
Adiós y me ahogo
Intento alejarme y tropiezo
Aunque trato de ocultarlo, está claro
Mi mundo se derrumba cuando no estás cerca
Puedo parecer libre
Pero solo soy un prisionero de tu amor
Y puedo parecer bien y sonreír cuando te vayas
Pero mis sonrisas son solo un frente
Solo un frente, hey
Y lo juego, pero estoy soñando contigo
Y trataré de mantener la calma, pero estoy loco
Intento despedirme y me ahogo (yeah)

¿Puedo ser tu posesión?
Chico, necesito tu toque
Tu amor, besos y tal
Con todas mis fuerzas lo intento
Pero esto no lo puedo negar
Negar
Lo juego, pero estoy soñando contigo
(pero estoy soñando contigo nena)
Y mantendré la calma, pero soy diabólico
Intento despedirme y me ahogo (yeah)
Trato de alejarme y (oh) tropiezo

Would you happen to be able to tell me?
I thank the answer.
Hey macy! How are you doing today? Love your song!
"My world crumbles while you are not there". I'll be honest, I've heard this song so much, and this is the first time it actually dawned on me that that's how the lyrics go in the chorus.
It’s one of the famous misheard lyrics, the same line is, “I wore goggles when you’re not there”🥹😯, give it a listen again.
“I blow bubbles when you are not there” what the fuck?

I probably heard this song for the first time about 13+ years ago and it wasn't until just today that I came to the same realization. Crazy how we can go our entire lives absentmindedly filling in the blanks like this.
This song will never get old or go out of style. It's beautiful, just like she is.

Okay, looking at these great lyrics from this great song, I just have a question...what the heck does "fiendin" mean ? ? If someone can please explain. It must be a word to cool for me to be familiar with ! But I really want to know !
@@PatriciaMoreno-ff8pr fiending could mean craving or wanting. So she "plays it cool" but really, she wants the said person bad.
Either your the fiender or you're the supplier

You are right. She's extremely authentic. No fakeness at all what's not common in this dirty superficial music industry.
I totally agree. She is very beautiful.
Great cheekbones, great face.
I'm so glad I hear her name for the first time recently... That voice!! I've been missing out (and plan to make up for it ❤️)

Have always been a huge fan but saw all the drama and hope you know women stand by you. !!
Can’t wait for your new album
I have always heard this song growing up but have never truly understood it until my very first girlfriend left. It makes me remember that sort of love that seemed as if it would outlast time. Everyday with her was like a daydream. I am truly greatful to have had these experiences with her.

Hard to believe this song turns 21 years old this year and has aged so well.
Andrew Alcombright wow

No way I must have been in a time capsule .
I thought this sing was at least 7 years old .
Time waits for no man .
Her voice is so beautiful and unique
Actually, check out Miles Davis' wife bro, and then tell me if Macy Gray is the original
She can't even sing
...compared to what?
Macy Gray if you don’t like it in the United States or 🇺🇸🇺🇸US flag 🇺🇸🇺🇸get the hell out of the country.
@@frontsquats 😅😅thats so true just so accurate
Wonderful voice, amazing strong woman!
She sounds weird what the hell are u talking
@@ajboss924 You have to get use to her voice to see the beauty in it!
Magnifique 😊😊!! P'tit souvenir quand je l'entendait passer à la radio..
IF YOU'RE LISTENING IN 24 LEMME GET A LIKE! SUCH A FEEL GOOD VIBE! Dancing around my house while cooking rn! Bring back another banger Macy!
I never give likes to people who beg for them. What's so important about likes anyway?🤷♂
