@@Onigumo. I just listened to that, while i see why you say that but I disagree, the harmonies are too differents, it's mostly the rythm which is similar
What r u talking? It was 90s and even at the beginning of the 90s this wouldn't have been considered "ahead of its time". I feel like people completely and utterly pontificate when they use the phrase "ahead of its time" for eh or just okay music that blended into the ERA they originated in. Music that paves the way for a new sound, or type of music or etc... would be considered AHEAD OF ITS TIME! #CHOPBUSTIN'TUESDAYS Lol
Definitely. Even tho i had no idea what she way saying when i was a lil kid (5-6yo) i still was dancing to the beat. Im 16 now and its still an absoute hit. Not gonna lie, i wish i was born in the 90s with all these musical bangers.
@@songotsampleswell because of the simplicity of the lyrics and the repetitive chorus it was considered trash, the 90s was basically the beginning of the end of meaningful music. In comparison to music produced these days this songs a masterpiece.
I was 8, in the back seat of my dad's car, had this playing on my headphones on my Sony Walkman, looking at the black, night time coast. Listening to this, I can feel it exactly the same, aged 35. Music is a wonderful thing. This tune will forever be a time capsule for me.
I can picture a woman in the late 97 walking in an american mall outfit store, this song was playing in the store, you went to find a new dress to wear to her brothers 46th bday. A bit specific but its fine!

@@LeeDfined I think this song is an interesting mix of edm and folk music. Idk if this is what the artist was going for, this is the first time ive ever listened to them, but I think her voice sorta gives off that folk music vibe. It's an interesting sound.
two songs with similar vibes which I often confuse which is which : this one (Gypsy Woman by Crystal Waters) Underwater Love by Smoke City Thats strangeness is really similar ...
I've been trying to find this song for ages, And there is so many songs that copy the backing track and edge me by making me think I finally found the original, I'm happy to say I've found it after years of occasionally searching
A lot of underprivileged gypsies in my country do that. They go around the neighborhood singing to sell the products they have. I love their colorful skirts and the ribbons they put in their braids.
@Lilly Rickgauer ah i was replying to star girl, she wrote Gypsy on her comment. now that you also wrote it on your comment please refrain, some Romani people can have trauma connected to the word.(I am Romani myself, I am reclaiming the word.)
In Bogota, Colombia, when I was 10 years old, I listened to this music. The radio station in Bogota was 88.9 Superstereo. What memories, and more of the song Just a Freak in the Van Damme and Denis Rodman movie in 1997.

I’m really obsessed with the song. It has dark and disturbing undertones that expose the harsh realities of life, the beat introduces this concept in a playful way. The masked person in the video gives us the visuals of the artists vision. Fun and yet filled with unease, I’ve never seen that executed so well. Brilliant.
Every time I’ve heard this song since I was a youth I’ve always felt every single emotion and thing you just explain this song perfectly I don’t even know what made me go to work today that was the best description ever
@@stro3054 Art is so personal and yet universal, honestly it’s fascinating. I am glad I was able to convey her message through words & that it resonated with you!
Your statement is b.s. Every person who was born after the release of this tune can listen to it, too. I can listen to Beethoven although I was not born in the 8th century. On the contrary: The earlier you're born the bigger is your disadvantage because you might be dead when a new musical genius will be born. The later you're born on the line of eternety, the bigger is the choice of good music in your lifespan.

Crystal waters said in her live interview she remembers an older homeless lady singing . She remembers when she was a kid , that it was a homeless lady always singing while asking for change in New Jersey . That's why says constantly repeats the chorus . she remembers her everyday life in New Jersey. It's a timeless classic from.my high years back in year : 1991. Crystal water is the daughter of Legendary: jazz musician Junior waters .
"Crystal Waters grew up in a very musical family. Her great aunt, Ethel Waters, was a famous singer and actress in the 1940s. Waters' father was a jazz musician and her uncle was the lead saxophonist with MFSB. At age eleven, she began writing poetry and was inducted into the Poetry Society of America when she was 14, the youngest person ever to receive that honor." Wikipedia Talented woman. The song is about a homeless woman Crystal Waters would see on a street corner, dressed and in full make up, singing gospel songs, trying to maintain her dignity whilst raising money.
It’s inspired by a true life story, homeless lady in DC. Found this in an article “I was in Washington, D.C. and she used to stand in front of the Mayflower Hotel on Connecticut Avenue. She was dressed all in black and a full face of makeup, singing gospel songs, and I used to walk by her like once a week. I'd be like, 'There's nothing wrong with her, she needs to go get a job.' I had a really bad attitude about her. And then the local city paper did an article on her and she said she had just lost her job in retail and she feels like if she was going to ask someone for money she could at least be presentable and look presentable. The story changed my whole attitude about homelessness, how it could have been anybody. Last week she had a job, this week she didn't. She was just like you and me - like what I said in the song. So, that whole incident really changed my attitude about homelessness and that's what I wrote the song about."
@Peter Huang Even 'druggie, lazy, homeless bums' also at one point still had their dignity and decent clothes, but a long time spent living rough on the streets will be hard on anyone, even you or me. How long will it take for our spirit to be damaged, or our clothes to get disheveled and dirty, or to turn to drugs to self-medicate for pains; mental or physical? It's not always just a matter of "just get a job" but also to deal with trauma or mental health or medical reasons that put the person out of work. It's laughable to believe that a majority of people simply WANT to sleep on cardboard exposed to the elements, with the constant risk of being violently assaulted or harassed by police. Please reconsider your "lazy" / "don't care" narrative, if you actually believe we shouldn't judge others based on their current situations... you only know one story because it was reported, but talking to people who are or who have been homeless inevitably reveals a series of tough circumstances that are not a product of 'laziness'.
@Peter Huang this is very ignorant from your part. Drug addiction is a illness such as any other and needs to be treated. Unfortunately, our system doesn't provide assistance for those who don't have condition$ to afford treatment. Saying homeless people do drugs because they are lazy and don't want to work is wrong in so many ways. Do you really think they wanna be in that position?
@Peter Huang you are selfish and clearly knows nothing about what you are talking about. I live in a third world country (why do you talk like third world countries cannot be part of the western lol) and i know the reality around me. Theres a whole system that pushes poor people (especially those who live in favelas) into drugs. Some start dealing since jobs are REALLY hard to get when you're a black "favelado" ( people who live in favelas) and many times thats the only way to buy food for their family. Many end up killed by the police or other gangs. Also, saying addicted persons are weak minded is wrong, you should study more. Some don't even need to do actual drugs to become addicted.
Anche io sentii questa canzone da bambino alla fine degli anni 80..nonostante fossi molto piccolo ricordo il momento esatto e dove mi trovavo e pazzesco che in diverse persone scateni lo stesso effetto, adesso la mia seconda figlia di meno di 3 anni quando la sente cambia espressione del viso, penso faccia lo stesso effetto anche in lei, chissà perché tutto questo, vorrei tanto una spiegazione scientifica
Except it was truly appreciated - but in it's own time, especially at clubs. The fact that it's so old now (came out in 1990) means that most younger people don't know about it. Which is why later musicians like some rappers tried to take advantage of this fact and shamelessly tried to incorporate bits of the song in to their own.
My mom would play this during cleaning day on sundays. It made sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, washing cars, replacing trash/recycling and wiping windows down active and fun
L-O-O-O-V-E THIS SONG. IT IS A CLASSIC! AND....how many more people in today's world can relate to being homeless!! Bless them and give them hope and A PLACE TO STAY! 🙂🌞
I can definitely relate. I had my first taste of House Music from my mom as well, when I was younger and she would clean the house on Saturday Morning to House Music. When I’m deep doing a deep clean I put on my House Music and it makes the process go by a lot faster.
This song really defines the late 80’s/early 90’s deep house movement and its transition from back-alley, underground, Chicago-based to an internationally recognized club genre. It’s the perfect example - perhaps, maybe even - the pinnacle of its period.

Trashi b i didnt say gyspsy im sorry i dont know but thank you for asking nicely i didnt know but what do u mean i said a slur word?
@Lilly Rickgauer ah i was replying to star girl, she wrote Gypsy on her comment. now that you also wrote it on your comment please refrain, some Romani people can have trauma connected to the word.(I am Romani myself, I am reclaiming the word.)
In Bogota, Colombia, when I was 10 years old, I listened to this music. The radio station in Bogota was 88.9 Superstereo. What memories, and more of the song Just a Freak in the Van Damme and Denis Rodman movie in 1997.
If you are first time here just to warn you, you are about to witness 3 minutes and 44 seconds of pure audiovisual dance/house perfection.
Definitely it's a nice comment!👏👏👏
I know this song since it was released in 1991!👍
Brilliant comment, let us celebrate here the best house anthem!
Lol 😂
@@newtzint then this ain’t for u ?
Funny how it’s called house music when it’s about a homeless women
Últimamente esta canción está en tendencia nuevamente.
Gracias al poder de la tigresa del oriente 😅😅
Es indigente, indigenteeeeeee
Bueno por el ese pasito slip back
thanks to La Tigresa del Oriente this song is back again.
@natitito268por fin alguien que me entiende
house music is so chill but funky
Amennnn. Been a house fan since birth; I was raised on it. I'll never not like house.
+Morgan Schaeffer can u recommend any other jams like this one?
+sofia sa 3 a.m. Eternal
same.i keep diggin old house anthems!!
+sofia sa
Kerri Chandler - Rain
Ron Trent - Sometimes i feel like
Tears of velva - The way i feel
dig deeper on the names i mentioned i above, you will definitely find some quality house!
Love & Unity
i wish they still made music videos like this...
I’m really obsessed with the song. It has dark and disturbing undertones that expose the harsh realities of life, the beat introduces this concept in a playful way. The masked person in the video gives us the visuals of the artists vision. Fun and yet filled with unease, I’ve never seen that executed so well.
Brilliant.
Every time I’ve heard this song since I was a youth I’ve always felt every single emotion and thing you just explain this song perfectly I don’t even know what made me go to work today that was the best description ever
@@stro3054 Art is so personal and yet universal, honestly it’s fascinating. I am glad I was able to convey her message through words & that it resonated with you!
Glad I'm not the only one picking up on the creepy undertones here
Totally agree with you.
Innerlight... great video with meaning as well
If you grew up on this kind of music, THEN YOUR CHILDHOOD WAS AWESOME!
@cybloxx9104 we're in the same group , im 12, I hate my generation , if only we could live in the 90's
@cybloxx9104 yeah
I snuck in there 1990 😂
We are the winning generation! Those days were the best.
Your statement is b.s. Every person who was born after the release of this tune can listen to it, too. I can listen to Beethoven although I was not born in the 8th century.
On the contrary: The earlier you're born the bigger is your disadvantage because you might be dead when a new musical genius will be born. The later you're born on the line of eternety, the bigger is the choice of good music in your lifespan.
"She's just like you and me but she's homeless"
*Bold of you to assume I'm not homeless*
Made the 100th like 🙄

Lol
I love how she sing whole video with straight face 😐
😂😂

That’s bad azz
Why. Is this funny?
She’s homeless!
The most 90s song ever
This feels 2003 ish to me idk
cool vibes sounds like from around 1998-2001 to me
I'd have to disagree after just listening to Mary Mark and his version of Good Virbrations.....
Most 90s music wasn’t like this at all.
@@coolvibes8691 Nah bruh this is early 90's distilled and purified.
1990s old school by Crystal is here to stay forever
If your watching in 2019 and grew up on the 90s music, you're dope AF!
That’s me
Thank you!!
Yessss
Thx
We are cool
Billie eilish - my music vids are weird.
Crystal Waters - hold my mirror.
Typical 90 video
Atleast this isn't a music video with drugs, guns and money
This is lil kneecap honcho onna rise can you go check him out
Billie Eilish is an industry plant. Both of her parents are high up in the music industry. Also, there's probably a million other bands/musicians more edgy than she tries to be.
@@Rasmos If only Arca got the same attention as Eilish

Так мило как эти парни танцуют, вообще это милая песня с ноткой мрачного, обожаю. Визуальный стиль напоминает мне о том эффекте седативных препаратов, о которых я узнал незадолго до заслушивания до дыр этого клипа.
those rolling chord changes on keyboard are just gorgeous.

Crystal waters said in her live interview she remembers an older homeless lady singing .
She remembers when she was a kid , that it was a homeless lady always singing while asking for change in New Jersey .
That's why says constantly repeats the chorus .
she remembers her everyday life in New Jersey.
It's a timeless classic from.my high years back in year : 1991.
Crystal water is the daughter of Legendary: jazz musician Junior waters .

"Crystal Waters grew up in a very musical family. Her great aunt, Ethel Waters, was a famous singer and actress in the 1940s. Waters' father was a jazz musician and her uncle was the lead saxophonist with MFSB. At age eleven, she began writing poetry and was inducted into the Poetry Society of America when she was 14, the youngest person ever to receive that honor." Wikipedia
Talented woman. The song is about a homeless woman Crystal Waters would see on a street corner, dressed and in full make up, singing gospel songs, trying to maintain her dignity whilst raising money.

@@andreasalas1385 UH
HOW
RIGHT
IKR LOL
It’s inspired by a true life story, homeless lady in DC. Found this in an article
“I was in Washington, D.C. and she used to stand in front of the Mayflower Hotel on Connecticut Avenue. She was dressed all in black and a full face of makeup, singing gospel songs, and I used to walk by her like once a week. I'd be like, 'There's nothing wrong with her, she needs to go get a job.' I had a really bad attitude about her. And then the local city paper did an article on her and she said she had just lost her job in retail and she feels like if she was going to ask someone for money she could at least be presentable and look presentable.
The story changed my whole attitude about homelessness, how it could have been anybody. Last week she had a job, this week she didn't. She was just like you and me - like what I said in the song. So, that whole incident really changed my attitude about homelessness and that's what I wrote the song about."
@Peter Huang Even 'druggie, lazy, homeless bums' also at one point still had their dignity and decent clothes, but a long time spent living rough on the streets will be hard on anyone, even you or me. How long will it take for our spirit to be damaged, or our clothes to get disheveled and dirty, or to turn to drugs to self-medicate for pains; mental or physical? It's not always just a matter of "just get a job" but also to deal with trauma or mental health or medical reasons that put the person out of work. It's laughable to believe that a majority of people simply WANT to sleep on cardboard exposed to the elements, with the constant risk of being violently assaulted or harassed by police. Please reconsider your "lazy" / "don't care" narrative, if you actually believe we shouldn't judge others based on their current situations... you only know one story because it was reported, but talking to people who are or who have been homeless inevitably reveals a series of tough circumstances that are not a product of 'laziness'.
are you trying to say this is Crystal Waters that's standing on the street?
@Peter Huang this is very ignorant from your part. Drug addiction is a illness such as any other and needs to be treated. Unfortunately, our system doesn't provide assistance for those who don't have condition$ to afford treatment. Saying homeless people do drugs because they are lazy and don't want to work is wrong in so many ways. Do you really think they wanna be in that position?
@Peter Huang you are selfish and clearly knows nothing about what you are talking about. I live in a third world country (why do you talk like third world countries cannot be part of the western lol) and i know the reality around me. Theres a whole system that pushes poor people (especially those who live in favelas) into drugs. Some start dealing since jobs are REALLY hard to get when you're a black "favelado" ( people who live in favelas) and many times thats the only way to buy food for their family. Many end up killed by the police or other gangs.
Also, saying addicted persons are weak minded is wrong, you should study more. Some don't even need to do actual drugs to become addicted.
@Peter Huang LOL OMG DO YOU REALLY THINK WE DONT HAVE INTERNET ON THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES? WTF LMFAO
Arguably most immersive chord progression i've ever heard.

OMG KENNY II THOUGHT YOU DIED
Heard this as a kid in the 90s, when I hear this now, it's crazy how it triggers all these good memories and moments. This track is perfection.
Anche io sentii questa canzone da bambino alla fine degli anni 80..nonostante fossi molto piccolo ricordo il momento esatto e dove mi trovavo e pazzesco che in diverse persone scateni lo stesso effetto, adesso la mia seconda figlia di meno di 3 anni quando la sente cambia espressione del viso, penso faccia lo stesso effetto anche in lei, chissà perché tutto questo, vorrei tanto una spiegazione scientifica
I heard this in 2019 and it may mot give that kinda of nostalgia but it does for me 😂😅
I miss the 90's, I need a time machine.
@@mk.15you and me both I would travel back with this song on lol
I was in my early 20s when this came out in 1991 and it triggers very good memories, it was the best time of my life so far.
My dad used to play this song before he passed away bring back so much memories
:( R.I.P to your dad...
@@Reflective.Detective awwww thank u
i hope he is in heaven 💖
@@batman7004 me to
R.i.p For your dad How old He was be M
This song gives me back memories 😢
I know
Wdym ik?
This song has been sampled to death and taken apart soo many times but it's original is never truly appreciated 😔
Right, T.I sampled it in "Why you wanna"
@@1LegendaryWest I did bump that in high school I'm not going to lie. TI was killin in those days
Except it was truly appreciated - but in it's own time, especially at clubs. The fact that it's so old now (came out in 1990) means that most younger people don't know about it. Which is why later musicians like some rappers tried to take advantage of this fact and shamelessly tried to incorporate bits of the song in to their own.
Idk man I like the other one better but I give this one credit for existing
Dunno why... while I'm working this song plays everynight in Walmart at 8
I wanna have a photoshoot with this song as my background music
ong, the vibe would be so amazing .
I'll do the photoshoot and get a team to do a video if you'll sing it or mime it? email me .
Same
why
Or T.I. - why you wanna.... cause he obviously stole the beat.
almost 2025 and this song Still....Goes....HARD.
💯💯💯
Heck yeah!❤
I KNOW RIGHT !!?
Ikr! lol my kids will get so sick of this song fire!

Wish there were clubs with this type dance music again 😢
This that cool ass mix between house music and clothing store music.
that is literally just chicago house music 😐
@@deleteable. or old school UK bassline/ garage ;)
Aka house music
@@deleteable. it sounds more like New York/New Jersey garage or house
Clothing store music is either gay clubbing music or house
It's past 30 years and this beat its still fire
It's offically 30 years since this song was released in 3rd April 1991
@ Chil Strek
I am are aware of this. I posted this comment before the 30th year anniversary, Many Thanks
Even this beat is old (30 yrs this 2021), but it glistens like gold ;D
@@darrenwilson146 April 3rd!?! That's a day before my brother was born.His birthday April 4th
good pfp tho
My mom would play this during cleaning day on sundays. It made sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, washing cars, replacing trash/recycling and wiping windows down active and fun
L-O-O-O-V-E THIS SONG. IT IS A CLASSIC! AND....how many more people in today's world can relate to being homeless!! Bless them and give them hope and A PLACE TO STAY! 🙂🌞
@@marciaparrish3342 yes praises be, amen
I can definitely relate. I had my first taste of House Music from my mom as well, when I was younger and she would clean the house on Saturday Morning to House Music. When I’m deep doing a deep clean I put on my House Music and it makes the process go by a lot faster.
your mom got taste
This song really defines the late 80’s/early 90’s deep house movement and its transition from back-alley, underground, Chicago-based to an internationally recognized club genre. It’s the perfect example - perhaps, maybe even - the pinnacle of its period.
Makin Happy was my fav & then that 100 percent pure love dropped it was ova!!!!!! 🙌🏾
I still have mix tapes of Bad Boy Bill. Should’ve transferred them. Chi town reigned supreme in the 90’s!
1991 ❤
Bro this ,y fav song bro😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love it😂😂😂
well said!
This tune has been in the back of my head for 32 years now...
timeless classic !!
Use to be in mine until Kim Wayans got a hold of it!
Equal to me.. 32 years agó.. full volume in my car! Timeless
I cant believe the 90s is now 30 years ago-

A pretty nice song to have in the back of your head tbh! ;) ♡
