    I discovered this song when Andy sang this on The Office. Such a lovely song.

    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.

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.

      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

    "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"

    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.

    **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

      @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? 😒

      Y mantendré la calma, pero soy diabólico

      Y puedo parecer bien y sonreír cuando te vayas
      Pero mis sonrisas son solo un frente

    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.
