"I was reborn when I was broken"...Brokeness helped me to create a beautiful life after leaving a 33-year-old marriage. I listened to this song every day for six years and I refused to let life pass me by. This song saved me.
Criminally underated! Even with his all his albumns going double platinum , Then being a force for over 25 years. Also being the recepient of the coveted lifetime achievement award.You say he is criminally underated? You sir, have spoken the truth!Can you imagine a concert with Stevie Wonder, Erika Badu, Sade, and Maxwell?
Sonyah Ferris thank you so much, it’s the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my life especially being an only child. My thoughts and prayers are with you also, thank you again.🙏🏽😇
I'm going to get help. Give myself a chance before I winds up in the wrong hands again. Jesus watch over me and my loving mother and family. Bless me with your strength ❤️
Too late for me. Medical issues and rxs destroyed me. Barely helped. Now being taken away. But yet I’m in worse condition. Problem after problem. I used to be the help now there is no help.
This one goes out to my wife. When she came into my life i was broken. I was depressed. But then i was reborn when i looked at her. Everyime. Everytime.
This is one of my favorite songs I was in a coma in 2001 and my kids used to play this song for me, that and my 2 yr old grand baby saying umma I love you, she is now 22 !!!GOD is the greatest thing in my life where would I be without his love and mercy? Dead.........😍🙏
Omg, your story just made me break out into tears. I thank God for your life being spared dear sister. ❤ I have an 18 month old granddaughter. I know I would walk the circumference of the planet for her.
I started listening to this song 6mos before the hardest 💔 break up of my life...not realizing that the words were actually sent to minister to me before the healing was needed. And needless to say, I took my life back.....doing phenomenally well now. Thanks Maxwell 💪
It’s 2021 & all I can say is, this song is still touching my soul even more than it did each year. Been through a hell of a lot & even though I’m still struggling with certain things I can honestly say I’m happy, content & at peace ❤️
I was lost my aunt pass my mother I felt like a man was there for me but I had to learn it wasn't am going fly my wings for me my daughter and my tatertot
This song saved my life and I was ready to give up it gave me cold chills when I first heard it thank God for old school music that actually has a meaning behind it
Aint nothing wrong with a man and woman falling in love with one another and want to be together for lifetime of marriage until death due them part. If you have that type of love through ups and downs, you are both blessed by the Heavenly Father 🔱 in the mighty name of JESUS 👑! !
Sometimes you can smell a scent and it brings you into an exact moment in your lifetime (no pun intended), but this song brings back nostalgia from when I was kid, riding in the car with my mom.. staring out the window, and this playing on the radio in the background. Everytime I hear this song, it brings me back to those childhood moments & memories. Growing up is bittersweet, but a privilege denied to many.
This song was played at my Aunties funeral. It was a beautiful ceremony for her and I miss her dearly. This song let's u know that despite all the losses you take, you can try and make it work.
I remembered this song randomly after my fiancé left the family for his new coworker and left us facing homelessness. It’s helping me remember to actually try, not just let my life pass me by. Signing a lease on a new place I can afford after many prayers and so many tears.
This song got me through so many tough times in my life & Iknow I’m young but I get depressed alot of time & just go into my shell & shut everybody out.. “ I can let my life pass me by or I can get down & try” .. I pray to god everynight thanking him for getting me through heart breaks , depression times and all.❤️ To anyone who is going through depression or a tough time or even a heart break or even a family member loss I pray for your strength & hope you heal ❤️
I'm dealing with depression..I feel like life has passed me by..damn near 50 but I don't have everything I want..like traveling, making good money, meeting good women instead of snub faced demons I encounter🤢🤮🤮🤮, imma make it I'm a FIGHTER!!! DEVIL GO LEARN TODAY!!!
In 2002 I didn't know where my life was headed I was going thru a divorce, I lost my job I felt like my whole world was coming to a end and one day I listened to this song and just the pure meaning gave me hope again..especially when I heard "I can let my life pass me by Or I can get down and try" and because of those words it taught me not to give up on life and til this day it always remains one of my favorite songs.
So glad you refuse to allow Life to Pass you by...Nobody But God..❤ This Song continues to Reach the Broken Hearted. Just a few days ago I heard it for the 1st Time. 5-3-2024 and it Moved me. Husband passed year ago but I refuse to allow Life to pass me by!
2020. Trapped inside due to coronavirus. Maxwell bringing comfort and peace to my soul. "I can move to the light one day at a time. Everything will be alright" ..His voice is SO beautiful.
Lyrics: I was reborn when I was broken I wouldn't believe I wouldn't believe (No) Been through a storm, with no use in hopin' That you would come rescue me Somehow your love set me free Now I, I can let my life pass me by Or I can get down and try Work it all out this lifetime Work it on out this time I can let it all pass me by Or I can get down and try Work it all out this lifetime, lifetime There was a time when love wasn't chosen And now I'm just gonna beg for more Now I'm just reachin' out for somethin' Better than I had before, girl That aint about a "mine or your" world Now I, I can let my life pass me by Or I can get down and try Work it all out this lifetime Work it on out this time I can let it all pass me by Or I can just try and try I could move to the light Oh, if I take one day at a time Oh, spread my love out and fly (Oh, i could move to the light) Ooh, if Icould just make you understand That love is not a fairytale anymore with me If you want it you can have it girl, maybe you will see Maybe you will see Oh, wah-wah-wah, oww Lifetime, lifetime Now I, I can let my life pass me by Or I can just try and try Work it all out this lifetime, lifetime I can let it all pass me by Or I can just, alright now (Lifetime, lifetime) (I can let my life pass me by) Work it all, oooh (I can let my life pass me by) There's no way, there's no way, I won't leave, I won't leave (Lifetime, lifetime) (I can let my life pass me by) Listen up, baby (Lifetime, lifetime)
I loved this song when it came out back in the day. I was in high school.. now on the verge of 40 the lyrics have an entirely differant meaning. Cant believe how fast 21 years have flown by.
I usually listen to Punk, Rock music and I have to say I haven't felt so moved until I heard this song. It speaks to everyone who once was down but decide to rise up and overcome life's obstacles. Much respect MAXWELL!
+Storm Not to mention what the song might mean when you're in your 50s, 60's, and older. Definitely gives me a reason to take a step back and reflect on the important things.
Wow I listen to this stage 4 cancer.i would love to see you sing your abc.thank you maxwell for everything from your heart..I got everything in my heart forever.
Thank GOD, I Can move on I've been so lost trying to get pass all this pain through out a lifetime 👑 I'm reborn tears are soaring down my face now ❤️❤️❤️
I truly wish love today had reciprocity, and men really valued women as their life partners. I wish women today had more self respect, and wanted to be life partners. This song makes me want to reflect and work on myself and love harder.
I agree. I hope he never goes the way of those who climbs that success ladder because they are agreeing with evil to get ahead. There are people who never are on the charts who have fans and make good money but are not mainstream.

Absolutely OUTSTANDING and still powerful. I was in the darkest place when this song hit....played it nonstop. I lived through it and I still play it every day. His cds are the only ones in my car. He's a lyrical genius, I adore him ❤💋
This cut is actually very "deep" and serves a multitude of purposes....One is of Encouragement. It's food for thought that I've shared with others more times than I can count. A true "Maxwell" fan has no problem hearing this one time and time again ...for many, many reasons. His voice is so ethereal...so full of emotion ! I have always "Loved me some Maxwell".
"I was reborn, when i was broken ." Has inspired me to tap back into my creavity side of writing. You see my aim is to only captivate hearts while, moving forward in this lifetime. So, I must rescue myself out the rubbish of depression,agony and or defeat. God is not done with me yet, this journey in which I shall have to walk through alone is realizing I'm never alone God is with me every step of the way. If God is love and love is key I want to surround myself of all aspects of it to ensure my faith,positivity and love peace- Robert A.Dodd-Rockingham
Honestly back then the quality in everything was better... thought out music for the soul... even the video did something to you ... the hues it's shot in the lighting angles... the action it was all art... I really appreciate the song and video
Awesome singer. Just saw him last month at The Kennedy Center. Very nice and humble person. Kept thanking us for coming out to see him. Will definitely go back to see him again. One love ❤️

Thanks for the love and support. I can tell that you are surprised to receive a reply from me on here. Well, I don't often reply to comments on TH-cam due to my busy schedules so I think it'd be great keep In touch with you.
Fun memory. I remember slow dancing for the first time ever at a house party with a blue bulb in the lamp and inscents burning, listening this song I can actually smell the room right now. Best time to be a young wide eyed college freshmen.
Nicole Thomas I did once for eight straight hours at work on a day when the rain was coming down and the sky was dark...surprised I even got anything done that day!
No matter how many times I've heard it. No matter how long it has been....this touches me the same way, in the same place. "If I could just make you understand that love is not a fairy tale in a melody, maybe then you will see...."
@@Realmaxwell001 doing well thank you for asking. Keep sharing your amazing gift. And Thank You for working so hard to share music that touches our souls!!! You are a gift!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@cherlondalofton5459 I'm so glad to hear that, I know you're suprise to see my response here because I don't often reply to comments due to my busy schedule but I dedicated myself to check up on few of my fans and I'II like to keep in touch with you.
2001 this song came out. I was deployed in Kuwait. Chill deployment too. Didn’t even expect 9/11 to happen. His and Usher’s CD were hot at the time. Damn time flew by
No more rap music and trap music holding me down. This is the song that will be the song for my life. As I sit here a broken man, I will be reborn and I’m not broken beyond repair. I will change things and do something with myself and my life.
Max said, "there's no way I won't leave you, I'm going to leave you" ....Gemini, at least he knows himself. String of broken hearts in dust, Max. You can't help it baby. It's you..Roll with it. Stay strong!
This song inspired me to NOT give up on myself. Life has knocked me all kind of ways but I keep going like NOTHING has never happen. ❤❤🎉 I love it. Thank you Maxwell. GOD IS GOOD
My favorite R&B singer. His voice alone gets to me every time ; but this song here… lord this song here has save me, rebirth me, help me understand life.. can pass you bye reaching out to something better than I had before🙏🏾🥹❤️❤️❤️I lost myself but when I got it back I promise to never go there again this song has helped me get through it all.

Lyrics:
I was reborn when I was broken
I wouldn't believe
I wouldn't believe
(No)
Been through a storm, with no use in hopin'
That you would come rescue me
Somehow your love set me free
Now I, I can let my life pass me by
Or I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime
Work it on out this time
I can let it all pass me by
Or I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime, lifetime
There was a time when love wasn't chosen
And now I'm just gonna beg for more
Now I'm just reachin' out for somethin'
Better than I had before, girl
That aint about a "mine or your" world
Now I, I can let my life pass me by
Or I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime
Work it on out this time
I can let it all pass me by
Or I can just try and try
I could move to the light
Oh, if I take one day at a time
Oh, spread my love out and fly
(Oh, i could move to the light)
Ooh, if Icould just make you understand
That love is not a fairytale anymore with me
If you want it you can have it girl, maybe you will see
Maybe you will see
Oh, wah-wah-wah, oww
Lifetime, lifetime
Now I, I can let my life pass me by
Or I can just try and try
Work it all out this lifetime, lifetime
I can let it all pass me by
Or I can just, alright now
(Lifetime, lifetime)
(I can let my life pass me by)
Work it all, oooh
(I can let my life pass me by)
There's no way, there's no way,
I won't leave, I won't leave
(Lifetime, lifetime)
(I can let my life pass me by)
Listen up, baby
(Lifetime, lifetime)
Thank you so much for the lyrics 😊

I truly wish love today had reciprocity, and men really valued women as their life partners. I wish women today had more self respect, and wanted to be life partners. This song makes me want to reflect and work on myself and love harder.
Amen my friend. We're out here...in the World. A people far away from home. Praise be to God.
True
I've heard this song a thousand times. Then one day it hit me. I actually listened. Wow.
✝️🌄. Me too. Hit me differently after I was Saved
Haha same here I turn 30 next week and this made me realize that I missed all the good music coming out
Lol.i can relate.i started listening to this song back in the early 2000s.only made sense (lyrically) 20 years later.
❤
The words is a message
2024❤! Still waiting for a chance to see you live🙏🏾💯🇿🇦
I'm in South Africa, we must have lunch sometime. 😅😅😅
Great taste,you must be an 80's kid.
@pontshotsenasi He does very intimate shoes by himself. Had me stuck every time I saw him.
As we wait together, please.
All time favorite song. Maxwell is truly underrated.
The Bookish Penbabe , yes he is wonderful voice
That's alright, sometimes its good to fly under the radar
I agree. I hope he never goes the way of those who climbs that success ladder because they are agreeing with evil to get ahead.
There are people who never are on the charts who have fans and make good money but are not mainstream.

@@cocovernon8394 Lolz you're a true OG Maxwell fan. I see you everywhere!!
Walking-MY-Path yasssssss hunty! Maxwell is heart throb ..... my everyday crush❤️
@@cocovernon8394 :)
This song has so much meaning. It makes you really think❤ what's important and what's not❤
BETWEEN MAXWELL AND MUSIQ SOULDCHILD AND ANTHONY HAMILTON, THERE'S NO ARTISTS OF THIS ERA CAN EVEN COME CLOSE TO THERE ART OF SINGING!
Absolutely,... Enough said
So true!! Speak on it!
Yes, talent personafied!
Dru hill made some pretty good one jahiam Lyfe jennings I'm just saying dont sleep on them
Please don't leave D'angelo from that list of legends!
The song inspired me to reconcile with my husband💕
bgdp3 Nice
Native .. good for you
Native that's what's up
Congratulations sister. Reconciliation and repair is always awesome. Be encouraged sister
And now, 2 years later?
This cut is actually very "deep" and serves a multitude of purposes....One is of Encouragement. It's food for thought that I've shared with others more times than I can count. A true "Maxwell" fan has no problem hearing this one time and time again ...for many, many reasons. His voice is so ethereal...so full of emotion ! I have always "Loved me some Maxwell".
"I was reborn, when i was broken ." Has inspired me to tap back into my creavity side of writing. You see my aim is to only captivate hearts while, moving forward in this lifetime. So, I must rescue myself out the rubbish of depression,agony and or defeat. God is not done with me yet, this journey in which I shall have to walk through alone is realizing I'm never alone God is with me every step of the way. If God is love and love is key I want to surround myself of all aspects of it to ensure my faith,positivity and love peace- Robert A.Dodd-Rockingham
Honestly back then the quality in everything was better... thought out music for the soul... even the video did something to you ... the hues it's shot in the lighting angles... the action it was all art... I really appreciate the song and video
The perfect song to play anytime of the day, Maxwell is a legend
Awesome singer. Just saw him last month at The Kennedy Center. Very nice and humble person. Kept thanking us for coming out to see him. Will definitely go back to see him again. One love ❤️
The lyrics are beautiful and spiritual 💕 so comforting, just an amazing song. Love you Maxwell 💕
Thanks for your love and support and I hope you won’t stop listening to me?
Thanks to MAXWELL we got this song! Stay up yal! we gon be aiight!!
I was reborn when I was broken
I wouldn't believe
I wouldn't believe
(No)
Been through a storm, with no use in hopin'
That you would come rescue me
Somehow your love set me free
Now I, I can let my life pass me by
Or I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime
Work it on out this time
I can let it all pass me by
Or I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime, lifetime
There was a time when love wasn't chosen
And now I'm just gonna beg for more
Now I'm just reachin' out for somethin'
Better than I had before, girl
That aint about a "mine or your" world
Now I, I can let my life pass me by
Or I can get down and try
Work it all out this lifetime
Work it on out this time
I can let it all pass me by
Or I can just try and try
I could move to the light
Oh, if I take one day at a time
Oh, spread my love out and fly
(Oh, i could move to the light)
Ooh, if Icould just make you understand
That love is not a fairytale anymore with me
If you want it you can have it girl, maybe you will see
Maybe you will see
Oh, wah-wah-wah, oww
Lifetime, lifetime
Now I, I can let my life pass me by
Or I can just try and try
Work it all out this lifetime, lifetime
I can let it all pass me by
Or I can just, alright now
(Lifetime, lifetime)
(I can let my life pass me by)
Work it all, oooh
(I can let my life pass me by)
There's no way, there's no way,
I won't leave, I won't leave
(Lifetime, lifetime)
(I can let my life pass me by)
Listen up, baby
(Lifetime, lifetime)
Tnk u so much 4 sharing the lyrics, i needed it.
This song feeds my soul😭 I'm almost always in tears every time I hear this song....
Me too😕
My fave♥️♥️♥️
Maxwell, we both will find the light and wind to interchange to more radiant balance of beautiful colors.
I thank you for singing about this truth.
this man is too beautiful i just wanna hug him...BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, BEAUTIFUL VOICE, BEAUTIFUL MAN
I love this song. Maxwell period is a very talented artist. Very underrated. The best usually are.
The beat, the chorus, the writing = Lifetime
Storm Is something truly special.
Storm yes
Yes it is indeed truly special it’s each of our (everyone’s) unique yet All most precious Lifetimes!
Best old classic
This song brings me so much peace. Maxwell's voice is so healing through this melody.
Thanks for the love and support.
I can tell that you are surprised to receive a reply from me on here. Well, I don't often reply to comments on TH-cam due to my busy schedules so I think it'd be great keep In touch with you.
Fun memory. I remember slow dancing for the first time ever at a house party with a blue bulb in the lamp and inscents burning, listening this song I can actually smell the room right now. Best time to be a young wide eyed college freshmen.
My favorite Maxwell song. I can leave this on repeat. lol
My favorite song period.
Nicole and Secretary, this equals womens work
Nicole Thomas I did once for eight straight hours at work on a day when the rain was coming down and the sky was dark...surprised I even got anything done that day!
No jokes
Its on my repeat also. Motivation.
No matter how many times I've heard it. No matter how long it has been....this touches me the same way, in the same place. "If I could just make you understand that love is not a fairy tale in a melody, maybe then you will see...."
G shit 💯
Thanks for the love and support, it’s nice to meet you on here. How are you?
@@Realmaxwell001 doing well thank you for asking. Keep sharing your amazing gift. And Thank You for working so hard to share music that touches our souls!!! You are a gift!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@cherlondalofton5459 I'm so glad to hear that, I know you're suprise to see my response here because I don't often reply to comments due to my busy schedule but I dedicated myself to check up on few of my fans and I'II like to keep in touch with you.
@@cherlondalofton5459 Would you like to hold a conversation with me?
2001 this song came out. I was deployed in Kuwait. Chill deployment too. Didn’t even expect 9/11 to happen. His and Usher’s CD were hot at the time.
Damn time flew by
I miss that bohemian maxwell with the afro....His music is still very very good these days, but his look back then seemed to suit him so well....
yes so handsome
+MyOpinion_FukYourThoughts _ Handsome and Sexy.
ikr
Nerdbama Rich. he don't want a woman
Malcolm Woods I believe he's bisexual & very artsy it's all about who he loves in the moment.
No more rap music and trap music holding me down. This is the song that will be the song for my life. As I sit here a broken man, I will be reborn and I’m not broken beyond repair. I will change things and do something with myself and my life.
MOVE FORWARD IN FAITH KING!!!!!💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏
I hope things turned around for you and you're doing great...
Exactly God bless you ❤
God's love is sufficient ❤ I honestly hear this as a gospel song , not a breakup. Perspective
Max said, "there's no way I won't leave you, I'm going to leave you" ....Gemini, at least he knows himself. String of broken hearts in dust, Max. You can't help it baby. It's you..Roll with it. Stay strong!
I love this beautiful black man...his music never gets old...will last a lifetime!!
This song makes you reflect on all the BS you went through to get to your happy place!
This song means so much to me you can change the love and respect
This song inspired me to NOT give up on myself. Life has knocked me all kind of ways but I keep going like NOTHING has never happen. ❤❤🎉 I love it. Thank you Maxwell. GOD IS GOOD
I don't think there's any r&b singer right now who can top Maxwell.
This is neo-soul, not rnb, and D'Angelo is the King of Neo-Soul!! But Maxwell is a clear number two. The two are in a class of their own!
You truly right.. what do you think about eric benet; jaheim, donell jones? Maxwell is truly the king
Storm You're crazy! He's better at Soul Music.. But R&B is no doubt belong to R. Kelly!!
omar williams maybe back in the day that crap R KELLY dropping as of late has been TRASH
Bilal is kinda dope too.... but screw the competition, they're all good.
Just one of those nights I need a little maxwell in my life....😍
Dude...Maxwell's style transforms as he ages, but it stays the same. He's still Maxwell. He's still the same artist with similar themes...I love it.
Agreed. He stayed true to his roots and his original sound and genre. That's why I respect the hell out of this man!
My favorite R&B singer. His voice alone gets to me every time ; but this song here… lord this song here has save me, rebirth me, help me understand life.. can pass you bye reaching out to something better than I had before🙏🏾🥹❤️❤️❤️I lost myself but when I got it back I promise to never go there again this song has helped me get through it all. Love, friendships etc…❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹love you Maxwell
This song and Maxwell's Angelic voice will never get old !!!!
Soulful .. Nothing but relaxing while listening

Maxwells voice just makes me want to light all my candles and slip into the bathtub filled with bubbles and contemplate my lifes decisions
Thanks so much for supporting my music, I’m so grateful ❤️ and I hope you forever being my fan, I would like to honor you by giving you my personal information if that’s ok by you?
Weirdo
😀😀😀😀😀
Listening to this at 3am. His voice and music are like a therapy after a long hard day and night!
You know a record is good when it came out how many years ago and it is still the freakin' bomb! The world needs more wonderful love songs like this one.
Maxwell, your music is my Therapy. It healed my broken heart. Thank you handsome💖

My all time favorite song by Maxwell. I remember hearing this all the time on the radio back in 2001. This song is incredible. Maxwell deserves more recognition
This song is so therapeutic 💜

"There's no way, there's no way, I'm gon' leave you, I'm gon' leave you."💕
Life has been rough, lately. This song came to mind. Thank you, Maxwell.
