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!!

Still listening to this magnificent & beautiful rare gem 💎 of a song in 2024. Is anyone with me?

Still loving this in 2024!

This reminds me of a relationship with God. Because he is love ❤

When you ready for Love but born in a generation where lust only exist😓

Who's still listen too this song in love this song in 2020 beside me?

This is one of those songs that make you cry every time you hear it. So deep and so beautiful. Anyone still listening in 2022 you're absolutely amazing!!🥰🤗

When you heal from your pain, and you’re truly ready for love…this song hits you different. It’s no longer just a song.

That moment you realize KZfaq needs a REPEAT button.

11 years ago, My wife walked down the isle while this song played and I just began to weep realizing just how much YAHAWA had blessed me💘 Love u babygirl!

Listening in 2024 ❤

It’s currently 2023, Im almost 32 years old and I have been listening to this song since I was a teenager. Nothing could ever separate me from India Arie! This is music for the soul. ❤❤❤

Why do this song make cry . i can't wait for God to send me my husband

One of the most beautiful songs ever composed. A true representation of yearning for love, not desperate, just.....ready.

The Fact That This Queen Wrote This, We first must acknowledge her mental placement😢. This song is Incredibly Beautiful & Important. She doesn't get the recognition she deserves for this song alone ❤️💞💐.

STILL TOUCHES ME IN 2022!! GETTING MARRIED IN AUGUST! SHE IS A GENIUS

Who is still listening in 2021. One of the most beautiful songs ever made with an awesome voice.....

He finally came into my life.....Thank you God.....

When I get married, I will be walking down the aisle to this 💜🥺 always been a favorite of mine 🤞🏾

❤ best love song ever... It's 2023 and it still touches soooooo deep 😢

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.

"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

I love this song!!! She did not receive the accolades and respect she deserved as a true singer/songwriter. I honestly believe that because the industry deemed her unmarketable she didn't reach her full potential in the recording industry.

I love my black people..we are so talented..and have endured so much pain...just to release it in epic fashion...my black people I love you all..in 2021/2022

..."To a man who loves music...a man who loves art...Respects the spirit world...and think with his heart..."🙌🏽🎯💯

It’s 2022. Who knows Christ lives within❤️❤️

One of the best ballads ever!!

My goodness. No fancy production, no autotune. Just a voice and a guitar....and what a voice she has been blessed with!

If you're listening in 2019 you have so much soul !!!! X I love it.

After spending the past 10 years intentionally healing from when I was not the best version of myself, I can truly say that I’m READY for❤. I just turned 53 years old and I’m free to be me: love and be loved explicitly ☝🏾🤲🏽

2024 still here ❤

"to a man who loves music, a man who loves art, respect the spirit world and thinks with his heart" Man, i wish i could find someone like that.

Who still listening in 20 19

❤❤❤ She is beautiful inside and out. Her voice nurtures and helps to heal my spirit.

Rip my Love we never got that chance to make it to the altar. I always imagined me singing this to you at our reception. Till we meet again my Love 🕊️ 🕊️ 🕊️

I was 22 when this first came out. I used to dream of having an actual lover, a person, in my life. Now at 41 it's more like prayer to have Gods Love & guidance in my Life over everything else.

If you're heart hasn't ever yearned for love you won't understand this song

2023 and this song touched me so deeply. I pray and ask GOD to send me someone who will truly Love Me... I am ready! ❤

In 2022 I am being prepared for love again! I loss my spouse, but he is gone to his reward with the Lord! God holds my heart for that new man! ❤ 💞 💯

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 a 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

she went from being ready for love to having "Steady love".

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.

They don't make music like this anymore

The first time I heard this song, I knew it was the most sacred prayer. Can't believe it's been 20 years...where did the time go? Where did music like this go?

This song is so beautiful. You sing it out loud, and you are literally telling the universe you are ready for love. She's says watch what you ask for cause you might receive❤❤ after healing." This is the best song when you're ready to share the love you have for yourself with another soul that is worthy . I know if you listen to this, you're most likely a healer, and I pray you find peace knowing that you are loved more then you know, and so needed .your love is Extraordinarily unmatched . They just never learned how to love like you . Embrace that light you carry it's the best part of you because it's something special ❤ sending love an light to all ✨️✨️never give up 🤘🏽✨️🙌🏽🧿🥰

This one of the greatest videos of all time. I remember being in a hotel room with friends, and when this video came on, everyone went silent and watched it as if we were all in a trance.

When she said "Why are you hiding from me" I felt that😩😩

I sang this song for 2 weeks until I met my now partner,it's been nothing but happiness. We struggle financially but we're happy. God is good,such a lovely song💕💕💕💕💕

For some reason I was led to this song today , heard it for the first time and it brought me to tears. Truly beautiful, every word I felt ❤

This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time for me! The ways she sings it and her voice is like an angel.

"To a man who loves music, a man who loves art, respects the spirit world and thinks with his heart" Bingo !

My God.. 16-17 yrs later at 28, I still can't listen to this song without CRYING!! My soul just does something when I hear this!! So much peace & happiness it's almost overwhelming! 💖💖💖 Music is LOVE and this song is the epitome of what love is!! Thank you India!!

I’m not sure if there will ever be another a song sung with so much soul, power and yet delicacy

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever had the privilege to listen to. It amazes me how the song is melancholy and hopeful at the same time. It's hauntingly beautiful to the point where it lingers in your soul.

"a man who loves music, a man who loves art ... respects the spirit world and thinks with his heart" ... WHEA DEY AT THO ?!

2020 anyone😔😔❤️

To a man who loves music a man who loves art💫💍

one of the greatest love songs ever

The most beautiful song I have ever heard in my life.

Cant believe music went from this to what we now have :-( substance and talent... to an image

It’s the way she sang it for me! Every time gives me chills!

10:54pm 9-22-22 N STILL listening with tears going down my face. Finally recently found real love after 10plus yrs of getting it wrong. 🤦🏽‍♀️ smh And now EVERY song I listen to n have dreamed of that can fnally have meaning for a lonely hopeless romantic like me has FINALLY now come true. Especially this one. I listen deeper now with more of a passion that i didn't hear b4, but now with a whole different appreciation. Now...it's pure excitement like, "ouuu...listen to this!! Lemme send it to him". 🤭🥰 Not, "aww mannn listen to this ish". 🙄 singing it with desperation n hurt. Feel me?? I swear i want this MAN, this KING, this SON, this FATHER, this FINE CHOCOLATE BLK BROTHER to be my FINAL one n only true love of my life. I'm soooo ready to love him fully n unconditionally. Just hung up with him n said it. "I'm ready to love you now. Soooo like, wassup mannn can we move this along. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Chop Chop"!! Lol That's why I'm even here rt now. So you know it's real...im listening n wanting to tell him that i love him soooo bad already rn. 😩🤷🏽‍♀️ So MOTS...to all that's listening right now with hope in their hearts...just take it from me @43yrs old...real love is STILL possible. It's never too late. So don't EVER give up on love. That's when they show up. Your soulmate, tie, twin flame n best friend still exists. He/she is waiting on you like you are waiting on them. Let God lead you to them. Be patient. Don't force it. N when they do...just embrace it, enjoy it, n let it happen naturally. Ull know when it's them. Trust me. But anyway...imma stop preaching now. Keep enjoying real music ya'll. We are the ones that keep all of them still alive!! For us to continue to love, reminisce, dream, fantasize, dance, n cry to. Cheers to US!! 🥳🥂✌🏽

“A man that loves music, a man that loves art, respects the spirit world and thinks with his heart” 😍🙌🏾 ... lawwwddd the lyrics in this song! Where he at thoooo? 😩👀

“I am ready for love.. why are you hiding from me? I’d quickly give my freedom to be held in your captivity” #ThatFirstLine #Deep

2024 and still bumping this angelic song!

I remember going to a wedding when I was young and the bride walked down the aisle to this song. I thought it was so odd cuz the song did not sound wedding like at all lol but today this song popped in my head so decided to listen. MAN, as a 31 year old that has been through some things and currently healing from a relationship /marriage that all but broke me, it hits different! I have a lot of healing and self loving to do. However, If I’m ever blessed with a pure love and given the chance to marry again this will be my wedding song 🤍✨. I promise myself to do it right next time. I owe it to myself. Thank you India for your beautiful voice 🥹

she could make such a powerful statement without cussing and vulgar sexual language. amazing

I swear words can't describe how much I love this song , she's singing this from the soul 🙌🏻 You can feel it

2023 travelling to heavens with that song.

I know I'm NOT the ONLY one listening to this beautiful song in "2021"

Don't matter what kinda life you live ...if you have a heart this shit will get you

THIS WILL BE my song walking down the aisle....😍😍😍😍😍 when God feels "I am ready"......

Am listening to this song in 2022. It's so beautifully put together the lyrics, instruments and vocals! Breathtaking!

“I will be patient, kind, faithful, and true, to a man who loves music, a man who loves art, respects the spirit world, and thinks with his heart” powerful words 🔥

An intelligient mature gorgeous lovesong one of the best ever written

It's so sentimental and beautiful ❤️❤️ soft and direct.Ooooh chile!!!!!!

Respects the SPIRIT WORLD and thinks with his HEART

so authentic, so natural, so feminine, so real....respect and hands down ma'am Arie.

This was my wedding song in 2003 and now 2021 I still listen and it still gives me the same chills. India Arie has such an angelic voice.

I miss this era of music.....i miss you Miss India

I love this song! I danced a solo for my senior year 19 years ago! ❤❤❤

This song always made me cry but unlike what the song is intended to mean, I translated it as self love. It's been hard to love myself due to trauma. I do love the song; it's beautiful.

I still think this is one of the most beautiful music videos I've ever experienced.

When God finally gives me my Kindom Spouse ❤

Wow if you just listen to the lyrics.. a yearning for more than just the physical..so deep

one of the best songs of all time

I'm 22 years old i never been in love with anyone who loves me back i wanna know how that feels to be loved unconditionally

This song is when you go all in put your cards on the table Straight from the Heart!!!!

This song makes me weep 😪 so spiritual so deep she’s royal 👑

This song is so intimate. it speaks to the part of me I don't let people see 😍

*"lately I been thinkin maybe you're not ready for me. maybe you think I need to learn maturity."* My heart aches every time she sings that part. it resonates with me the most.

When you been through so much relationship trauma and mental damage your not sure if Love really exists or if you might go down the same path these days due to the generation we now live in..

THIS SONG IS STILL GOING STRONG IN 2022 !!!! - ICONIC INDIE IRIE - I GOT TO MEET HER 7 YEARS AGO IN NEW YORK CITY !!! - A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT - LOVE HER - A BEAUTIFUL MUSICAL ARTIST 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Holy Mother of God - Im on my knees - pure art ....

2019 and still listening

In an age where real love is non existent. More songs like this in this age are more needed now than ever

A true modern classic.💜

If you're feeling down and out this song will touch your soul. I listen to this and get drunk.

She was always so real, so classy and beautiful.
