    My husband was abused physically and had cancer as a child, when i met him he stuttered so bad he could barely state his name. Today he speaks clearly, is cancer free, and a great father to both our children. The victory belongs to Jesus!!

      I just cried my eyes out bc at 15 being hurt by my own mother and father not knowing love that's all I wanted. Over the years I have been through cheating them leaving me with our kid's then losing my other Child's father to Death. At 36 I just listened to this song while my Husband of 6 year's slept beside me touching my leg. I cried because I'm so blessed from the last time I listened to this song so many years ago I got so emotional and cried so hard. I have a man who loves me more than life itself and show's me that everyday. I also have 7 children 4 bio and 3 bonus, that love me Unconditionally ❤️ I have my love that I needed back then plus much more!

    "Respects the spirit world and thinks with his heart" is my favorite line. Being an empath and experincing spiritual warfare from family and hateful men who will cross all spiritual boundaries to control...has me fully innerstanding this line. Cause one who will disrespect the spiritual world has no soul or regards to anything. And will stop at nothing and is a very selfish individual

    This song bring about a lot of painful memories. My now husband and I were dating at the time and my family was against it. I called him and told him I didn't think it was going to work between us. It was too hard and I hated the pain my family was putting him through. We spent hours on the phone, with him begging me not to give up on us. 15 years later, we are married and I am so glad I didn't give up.

    this woman was cheated out of her talent by her label... or it seems so. India belongs with the list of musical legends for her depth of soulful expression. Her ability to relay her emotional energy on a track and bring tangibility to something we are otherwise impossible to bear credential to is not fully appreciated.

      That line really made a huge impact on me too. It seems to be an impossible mixture of atributes to find , ;-) I have a good man , but he still isnt the ideal this song makes me yearn for. Perhaps I am not really ready for love yet again. I believe she sings about being ready to give and accept consequences , love often means great pain ...and how many of us are truly ready for it? I wonder. So beautiful and thought provoking, I am definitely ready to love this song! ;-p

      chowder125 you missed the other 90% of the song, where she was questioning herself, if she was fit and ready for him first. But, that's how women work, from my experience. Never look inward, blame others, and expect twice as much from a man when she's only bringing half to the table.

    I will learn what you teach
    And do the best that I can

I have something to teach as well; mostly aesthetic stuff: these are show towels, Please put on slippers before stepping on bedroom rug, donnt leave ties on doorknob, as well as more real life stuff like I'll write this paper for your speech or laying out complete outfits so this depiction is not as realistic as love is: it's truly a meeting of the mind/souls but she couldn't encapsulate all that in a song and this is an exquisite ode to love itself.

    I was doing extra work on some show she was performing on and she was INCREDIBLE. Even the crew came out to watch her sing. During a break I told her how much I loved this song (I’m a black haired goth girl) and she said “really?” And then she Freaking HUGGED me. She’s amazing in every single way.

    • @scarletlane5396
      @scarletlane5396 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I think us goth girls can relate to passionate music. And I think that is shocking to other people because we are deemed "scary". We are actually very in touch with our emotions and can appreciate when someone expresses it so genuinely. ❤

    Ready for Love
    I am ready for love
    Why are you hiding from me
    I'd quickly give my freedom
    To be held in your captivity
    I am ready for love
    All of the joy and the pain
    And all the time that it takes
    Just to stay in your good grace
    Lately I've been thinking
    Maybe you're not ready for me
    Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
    They say watch what you ask for
    Cause you might receive
    But if you ask me tomorrow
    I'll say the same thing
    I am ready for love
    Would you please lend me your ear?
    I promise I won't complain
    I just need you to acknowledge I am here
    If you give me half a chance
    I'll prove this to you
    I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
    To a man who loves music
    A man who loves art
    Respect's the spirit world
    And thinks with his heart
    I am ready for love
    If you'll take me in your hands
    I will learn what you teach
    And do the best that I can
    I am ready for love
    Here with an offering of
    My voice
    My Eyes
    My soul
    My mind
    Tell me what is enough
    To prove I am ready for love
    I am ready
