"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.
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.🙏🏽😇
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?
This is the song my hubby puck, it feels deep when you have something to hold on, I miss you hubby, it's been a year today since he departed from us. God is the goat. No more suffering.
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 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.
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.
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 💪
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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)
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!
"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
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!!!
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 ❤️❤️❤️
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 have found it so hard to connect with people and find warmth in them. When I heard this song I was moved to tears. It was beautiful and encouraging. This song felt like a hug for my spirit
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
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
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 👑! !
This song motivates me everyday..me an my wife listens to this refreshing song an it inspires us to not let life pass us by thanks maxwell 2023 #classicsnevergetsold
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
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 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!
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.
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.
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
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.
Born 2 be a Legend Maxwell, all his Songs, has an Inspiring story about Facing an Life of Learning & Experiences, he was Facedwith a Manies of Life obstacles and Pro- blems. I have enjoyed this Song it help me to get thru a Divorce and Bad Relationships with Aquain- tances. I appreciate Legends like Maxwell an GOD sent Angel's I do believe. I've lost many Love one's due 2 Drugs habits at an Early age Thanks again 4 all of the Comm- unity stories and 2 U all who have shared. And I thank, the Most HIGH 4 his Creation. 01/20/2024
Lost my fiancé on Christmas of 2020. Someone took his life and it changed me forever . This song gives me hope that brighter days are ahead for my children and I
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 ❤️
Wow got a Brother over here!! Thinking back & realizing, how far God has brought me! He's so amazing! He's not threw with me yet!! Looking forward!!! Loving Life!! Thank/ you❣️Father!! Love is what you are!! Wow!!🙏🌈✌️🖖🏿✌️
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
May I just say that this man is beautiful and so is his music. My sister introduced me to his music, and I've been hooked ever since. Maxwell is kust such an incredible artist. Love me some, Maxwell. God bless you, Maxwell, and thank you for your incredible music. ❤❤❤❤
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
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".
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.
One of my favorite songs !!! I love listening to Maxwell songs ❤️😘💕🤩 " Lifetime " This song has stuck with me for years. Some may say it's a love song , but to me it means are you going to give up on life , give up on things you're trying to change in life , things that you are trying to accomplish on this life's journey ? Or are you going to keep trying ? He asked the question ? Are you going to let life pass me by ? Or " I " can just try and try ? There is a message in just about every song , listen to the words.....God Bless 🙏❤️
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 ❤💋
I would try to catch this video on BET almost everyday back in the Fall of 2001 after its debut. 9/11, my cousin’s death, Aaliyah’s death…it was a kind of rough patch during that half of the year. I needed this song at that time, and then God blessed me the following year with a special person who would turn out to be my wife.
+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.
Every time I hear this song everything stops and I contemplate what I’ve done with my life and where the future will take me. My outlook on life has changed throughout the years I’ve come to realize that the things I once thought were important no longer mean that much. We grow and evolve as we age, I’m still in search of happiness whatever that may be!
Went to see him here in chicago a few weeks ago and omg he sounds AMAZING in person ❤. He had Jazmine Sullivan with him and when I tell yall both of their voices is powerful and will have you in 😢. I was blown away and will definitely go see them both again 💙🔥
Yep this is it. This is the real deal no rap no baby baby. Message music. Great artist with a great voice and message. Music about moving on from any and all obstacles and reclaiming your life and moving forward. Thanks Maxwell.
Maxwell, Every time I"m by myself I listen to all his music.. His real name is GERALD MAXWELL RIVERA.. HIS FATHER IS PUERTO RICAN AND HIS MOM IS HAITIAN... HIS MUSIC NEVER GETS OLD TO ME ... IF ANYTHING IT LIFTS MY SPIRITS !!!! BX... 183RD...
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)
While I agree with you on the premise of this is REAL soul music. please note that Maxwell's biggest CHART hit to date is "Fortunate" written and produced by none other than Kells (R. Kelly).....
"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.

This guy is an extremely intelligent talent, he is sooooo underrated. Every song he make is a hit. Man one of the top 5 easily.
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.

Yes it does I was 13 when this was released in 2001 crazy I'm 35 years old now crazy life is truly a blessing don't waste it
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)

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!
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 👑! !
Amen sis
Amen!!!💜💜💜

Love, friendships etc…❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹love you Maxwell
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
This song will never get old
Agree keep going through life
Lady Au-tumn Ra I dedicate this song to you
Lady Au-tumn Ra .

All you have to do is mess around and listen to this one song... next thing you know it's a Maxwell kinda day.

Jene Saisquoi fact
Jene Saisquoi August 2018 yep that's exactly what just happened🎼🎼💯💯💗💗
Omg been listening to Maxwell to all day because of this song
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!
Damn right man. Same here
Amen 🙌🙏🙌🙏❤️
R&B is MEDICINE when done right. Keep exploring the genre, you won't regret it. Much love! ❤️💯
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?

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.

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
Listening to this at 3am. His voice and music are like a therapy after a long hard day and night!
this man is too beautiful i just wanna hug him...BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, BEAUTIFUL VOICE, BEAUTIFUL MAN
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
i can let my life pass me by, or i can just try, work it all out this lifetime, lifetime. what a song.
Pecolia Williams ...U are beautiful sweetie u just caught my eye u gorgeous
This song brings me so much peace. Maxwell's voice is so healing through this melody.
Thanks for the love and support.

This song has so much meaning. It makes you really think❤ what's important and what's not❤

I've lost many Love one's due 2 Drugs habits at an Early age Thanks again 4 all of the Comm- unity stories and 2 U all who have shared. And I thank, the Most HIGH 4 his Creation. 01/20/2024
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?
Lost my fiancé on Christmas of 2020. Someone took his life and it changed me forever . This song gives me hope that brighter days are ahead for my children and I
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 ❤️
Some talk the game.this king made the world recognized his beautiful talent. Thank you for sharing your gifts, stay humble.
Wow got a Brother over here!! Thinking back & realizing, how far God has brought me! He's so amazing! He's not threw with me yet!! Looking forward!!! Loving Life!! Thank/ you❣️Father!! Love is what you are!! Wow!!🙏🌈✌️🖖🏿✌️
Happy 20th anniversary to this album. Still brings my soul to pure relaxation.
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
May I just say that this man is beautiful and so is his music. My sister introduced me to his music, and I've been hooked ever since. Maxwell is kust such an incredible artist. Love me some, Maxwell. God bless you, Maxwell, and thank you for your incredible music. ❤❤❤❤
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
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".
Happy 48th Birthday to Maxwell
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?
Who still bumping this 2024 ik I am
Ryt here
Facts
I just entered into the conversation. Right here in May, 2024.
Me ❤
😊😊 I do my thing
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 ❤
December 2024 I really wish they made good music like this ... 😢 I miss it so much
Maxwell, your music is my Therapy. It healed my broken heart. Thank you handsome💖
I remember when this song used to come on all the time on the radio when I came home from school. I didn't appreciate the song until I got older.
I agree. I was to young to understand.
How old are you lol
Same here lol
C Ali I had the on repeat when I got home. Me and my gf at the time loved this. Now me and my wife enjoy it.
lol. is the wife the same girl as the gf back then? :))) cus she loved it back then ..now she just enjoys it........?
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.
He has the ability to reach one’s soul thru his music ,…
Makes u feel away ya know
this song helped me thru my depression ...
One of my favorite songs !!! I love listening to Maxwell songs ❤️😘💕🤩 " Lifetime " This song has stuck with me for years. Some may say it's a love song , but to me it means are you going to give up on life , give up on things you're trying to change in life , things that you are trying to accomplish on this life's journey ? Or are you going to keep trying ? He asked the question ? Are you going to let life pass me by ? Or " I " can just try and try ? There is a message in just about every song , listen to the words.....God Bless 🙏❤️
One of his most powerful songs
Tawasha Walker amen
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 ❤💋
@@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 :)
I would try to catch this video on BET almost everyday back in the Fall of 2001 after its debut. 9/11, my cousin’s death, Aaliyah’s death…it was a kind of rough patch during that half of the year. I needed this song at that time, and then God blessed me the following year with a special person who would turn out to be my wife.
This song feeds my soul😭 I'm almost always in tears every time I hear this song....
Me too😕
My fave♥️♥️♥️
I don't know how many times I kept this song on repeat reminiscing about my own life.
my current situation
+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.
ditto..
@ STORM, #SOTRUE!!!
i love maxwell my Sister Regina Erskine Surles turned me on to Maxwell back in her Atl days she gone to heaven i love here and miss her so much
Every time I hear this song everything stops and I contemplate what I’ve done with my life and where the future will take me. My outlook on life has changed throughout the years I’ve come to realize that the things I once thought were important no longer mean that much. We grow and evolve as we age, I’m still in search of happiness whatever that may be!
Went to see him here in chicago a few weeks ago and omg he sounds AMAZING in person ❤. He had Jazmine Sullivan with him and when I tell yall both of their voices is powerful and will have you in 😢. I was blown away and will definitely go see them both again 💙🔥
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
he's an amazing artist
Rell Brooks yea he girl he great love his music
Rell Brooks by , the company uii
Got one for you to cc rider dj
He sure is.
Yep this is it. This is the real deal no rap no baby baby. Message music. Great artist with a great voice and message. Music about moving on from any and all obstacles and reclaiming your life and moving forward. Thanks Maxwell.
Maxwell, Every time I"m by myself I listen to all his music.. His real name is GERALD MAXWELL RIVERA.. HIS FATHER IS PUERTO RICAN AND HIS MOM IS HAITIAN... HIS MUSIC NEVER GETS OLD TO ME ... IF ANYTHING IT LIFTS MY SPIRITS !!!! BX... 183RD...
💯🔥
Let the world hear it dont hide it
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.
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.
People dont realize being able to do what you love and have the public receive it is the flowers to the artist
"There's no way, there's no way, I'm gon' leave you, I'm gon' leave you."💕
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
REAL soul music. Not R. Kelly, not Beyonce. This is real soul music with integrity and honesty. Really great song.
While I agree with you on the premise of this is REAL soul music. please note that Maxwell's biggest CHART hit to date is "Fortunate" written and produced by none other than Kells (R. Kelly).....
Not R. Kelly? Blasphemy.
I love R kelly tho :(
Max is the man true soul!
Ok Kells was writing his music.. Smh. Uniformed ppl! Wow!
