Who’s listening in 2024?😍

I discovered this song when Andy sang this on The Office. Such a lovely song.

Macy gray being on of the most underrated musicians of this century, LOVE HER.

This song is officially a quarter century (25) years old. Let that sink in. 1999 doesn’t feel like it was that long ago. This & TLC’s “No Scrubs” got so much airplay back then.

This song is 20 years old, we getting old 90s kids

Today my daughter would’ve turned 45. She passed of a long battle with brain cancer. She picked her music for her funeral. And this was the first song on her track. I saw this today on my KZfaq. And had to listen to it. I know what the song means, but she used it as a way to say how said she was to die.

This is the last song my father let me listen to the night before his massive heart attack in 2000. He lived another 12 years, despite doctors expectations. Always will have a place in my heart.

My mom loves macy gray and this song takes me right back to being a little kid. It’s 2024 and I’m a 31 year old grown up now. Crazy how a song can place you right back to a place and time all while bringing you to happy tears. Cheers to music for being so great ❤

we need these vibes back in 2021.

There is a refreshing honesty and humility in this song

Am in here all by myself enjoying the best of tunes. it still gives me goosebumps in 2024. Thank you Macy,we love you from here

That delicious raspiness of her voice gives the lyrics a life all its own. Truly GREAT.

Its now 2020, who else loves this beautiful classic?

Macy Gray was ahead of her time. The world wasn’t ready for her, and yet her jams are timeless.

Sometimes I hate my generation. We were in high school/college when this came out and many of us mocked her voice and unusual style, too stupid and immature to understand and appreciate excellence. It’s just now, with experiences in the world and wisdoms, that we revert back to this golden time and capture the brilliance of Macy Gray that we should’ve captured back then. ❤

It's 2024 and I wish they still made music like this.

My dad loved this song way back when. I remember him playing it on CD in his truck when we'd drive around. It hits that nostalgia for me and takes me back to the good ole days. He's been gone since August 2021. Love and miss him so much.

I love how Macy Gray embraced her natural beauty

Who is here listening to this masterpiece in 2024? There is no one like Macy!

Her voice is smooth as satin. So, to answer the question, "who's still listening?" the answer, who isn't?

Its 2019 and I'm at work. Macy gray walks in and tries to conceal her identity when asked for ID for a pack of smokes. she calls a friend over and immediately when she spoke it was a dead give away. I then sing a line from this song and she burst out laughing. Beautiful woman. My night has been made 5/5/2019❤.

Am i the only one who thinks she has a lovely voice

My mom played this song again for me yesterday (im 32). We used to listen to this album when she'd drive me around when I was a kid. Over 20 years later I've taken to a career in live music performance, and looking back at this album all those years later...My god, the writing, production, instrumental arrangement, the feel, all immaculate. What an incredible artist, and what a record this was. This is the peak of pop R&B and soul working in unison, timeless stuff. The Anderson Paaks of today owe it to artists like Macy Gray.

Who’s listening on 1st June 2024?

One of the most underrated artists, ever.

I remember being bullied in middle school then coming home to this song playing on mtv and feeling so much better. Thank you Macy.

IF YOU'RE LISTENING IN 24 LEMME GET A LIKE! SUCH A FEEL GOOD VIBE! Dancing around my house while cooking rn! Bring back another banger Macy!

Like if you just randomly thought of this song 🥴

When my son was 2 we listened to this in the car and he loved it! He would ask to hear it often and we would both sing to it as loud as we could. October 2020 we will be dancing to this song at his wedding because of our beautiful memories together while singing this beautiful song...together. Thank you Macy! 💞

There's something so emotional about this song. I can't really explain why. It sounds very sincere, I guess.

One of the best songs in the world. I loved it when it first came out and still love it now. Macy Gray has such an awesome voice and is one talented lady!

my momma passed into her eternity 3 months ago. My world has crumbled because she's not here. nothing is right anymore. i miss her so much .

Never have I ever heard a voice like her. She is truly unique in the music industry. Love her!

I was 9. Woke up at 6:30-7ish that morning to an unexpected TV alarm blaring this song with no remote in sight. And I mean blaring. I tried to manually turn off the 23 inch wide Macy Gray that was pretending to sniff flowers on my living room. We had no choice but to listen to the rest before unplugging the damn thing. Three of us in the room. One slept through it.

Just going to leave this comment here, that way when someone likes it in a few years I'll be reminded of this amazing song.

I've been a Macy Gray fan since the beginning, can't believe it's been 25 years 😳 this song still hits in 2023 ♥️

Crying like hell listening to this right now after a very long time, .................. oooooooooh this nostalgia!!!!! 😭😭💔😭💔💔😭 Please take me back to these times when there was no war, no pandemic and don`t know what else, ....... 😔😔😔

this song makes me want to go back to the early 2000's

Macy Gray forever 🙌🏻

I'm so grateful to have lived. Thank you Universe for everything. The good and the bad. Its all part of the game.

Games, changes and fears When will they go from here When will they stop? I believe that fate has brought us here And we should be together babe But we're not I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin' I try to say goodbye and I choke Try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near I may appear to be free But I'm just a prisoner of your love And I may seem all right and smile when you leave But my smiles are just a front Just a front, hey And I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you And I'll try to keep my cool, but I'm fiendin' I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah) Try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke (yeah) I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Here is my confession May I be your possession? Boy, I need your touch Your love, kisses and such With all my might I try But this I can't deny Deny I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you (but I'm dreaming of you babe) And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin' I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah) Try to walk away and (oh) I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near

Man memories. I was addicted to this song for many many years. I always thought it would have been epic if Macy Gray and Cee Lo Green would have did a duet.

Her poetry for heartbreak is on point. It only took me many years to go through heartbreak to resonate with her songs... and all of her songs just hit so deep.

I can not express how lucky I feel to experience this jam.....38 now and the feeling is unexplainable when I hear it

Ya know, it’s been probably 20 years since I’ve heard this song (or even thought about it). For some reason today, totally out of the blue, I started singing the chorus as I unloaded the dishwasher. An hour later I’m sitting in my living room watching this and crying like a baby and I have NO CLUE WHY

People really don’t understand how unique her voice is . Give her credit !

Thank you Andy Bernard for introducing me to this incredible song. 🎉

Voice of a angel that has stood the test of time

Sometimes you don’t realize how great a song is until you hear it years later & it hits you in a different way. I don’t even necessarily like this type of music or this genre, but this song really speaks to me. That’s the true mark of any great art. Love & peace 💚✌️

Never have I ever heard a voice like her. She is truly unique in the music industry. Love her! This song is 20 years old, we getting old 90s kids

My crush posted this song before he ended his life. I listened to this song back in junior high when it was first released, now it has different meaning.

One of that songs,that will be forever in my head... I really Love it. Thank you, Macy Gray.

This song reminds me of a girl I used to work with in a supermarket deli dept back in 1999. It was always on the radio we had out the back. We had some great fun as 17/18 year olds, a lot of laughs and memories, youth, not a care in the world, our first ever job and living life. All the full time staff always went home at 5pm and us ''young ones'' (most of us had been there since age 16 from highschool) used to start at 4pm til closing. I remember the day she left, the supermarket closed at 9pm and her and I had to clean down and do everything we needed to do and try and get out as soon as possible - usually 9.15pm. Just before we were about to turn the lights off and walk to go get changed and go home...this came on the radio, and I vividly remember her singing and miming to this song in front of me. Was almost as if she was saying goodbye through this song. Like, it was her way of saying it. I stood there and said ''So.....'' We hugged and she said ''Will see ya round one day, but just in case we don't..... remember me by that song''. I remember walking out through the aisles with her and I said ''Hey, do you want a ride home?'' as knew she didn't have a car, and she said ''No, it's cool'' By the time I got in my car and drove out of the parking lot, she had vanished. I've never ever seen her again. Over the years I've tried looking her up on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, nothing. Maybe one day.

This song was in my head this morning

When I heard this song on the radio I was struggling with substance abuse and the lyrics were really hitting me when I would be craving getting high and i just couldn’t break the cycle. I hear it now as a love song and I think even though someone relationships end, I think it’s so much better to controlled by love for another person than to be addicted to a chemical high.

Unforguettable song!

My mom and I used to sing this song together when I was younger, she took her own life last month and I just started going through home movies & found a clip of us singing this 😭

It's 2023 and I still love her voice. This jam just hits differently ❤

This song will always have a special place in my heart. I was listening to Now 4 on my portable CD player on a long car trip and I absolutely LOVED this song, but as a 7 year old who had never heard Macy Gray before I thought she was saying, “I walk on boats when you are not here.” 😂 & I tried, for a very long time, to figure out what that meant.

Damn, I love me some Macy Gray ❤❤ That raspiness in her voice resonates within my soul and spirit 💜 🔥 🔥 I love love love this Song. Pure Masterpiece ❤❤❤❤ They Just don't make music 🎶 like they used to. There's no feeling in today's music. Everything is so commercial.

Who's still listening to this song in 2019 !!!!! 2019 anyone? Macy Gray was very underrated. 🔥🔥🔥

This song takes me back to a time when the world just seemed so simple and easy

Current sitch. This song always runs in my head. Life is a trip! It all will be what it will be.✌🏻

My god, that voice. And on top of that, it sends you right back to the 90's. I miss watching this on the TV, in the night. Now I have youtube, and my temples are gray...

Have always been a huge fan but saw all the drama and hope you know women stand by you. !! Can’t wait for your new album

Honey poured over Sand, i LOVE Macy's voice! She is a gift to the world of music and most certainly to me ♥.

too much greatness in this song. i love how she runs to the guy who is waiting for him. so beautiful.

I'm so glad I hear her name for the first time recently... That voice!! I've been missing out (and plan to make up for it ❤️)

Here after the All Star National Anthem! Loved it, love your unique voice & style!!! And after listening this song came to mind & now I can’t stop listening to it!!!!!!!

I Suffer Really Bad With ADHD And Tourette's Syndrome And Mental Health Issues I Can Barley Sleep At Night Due To Night Terrors I Often Find Myself Stay Awake A Lot To Listen To My Favorite Song And Artist

Am Allen Mpuya from East Africa … Tanzania 🇹🇿…this song is a different Vibe …. I give my flowers to you Queen Macy 1:21

Macy Gray, the original Neo-Natural hair chick!!! she was rocking her natural hair when no one was!

I love this woman! Her music takes me to a higher level....I turn it up and sing like I'm singing a duet with Macy...Macy music all day!!!!

This song is like one of those songs you not only love to sing along to, but try to sing it just like the way Macy Gray does it, with the voice and everything.

Oh, Macy… much like a diamond; timeless, ever-enduring and forever present. ❤

"I Try" - lyrics Games, changes, and fears When will they go from here? When will they stop? I believe that fate has brought us here And we should be together, babe But we're not I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near I may appear to be free But I'm just a prisoner of your love I may seem alright and smile when you leave But my smiles are just a front, just a front I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Here is my confession May I be your possession Boy, I need your touch Your love kisses, and such With all my might I try But this I can't deny, deny I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin I try to say goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke I try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near

This song is so 1999. Actually, all music that came out that year was, never mind.

What a dream it would be to have someone running that happy to see you.

She needs more credit for this amazing piece. This such a beautiful song ❤

This song will never get old or go out of style. It's beautiful, just like she is.

2:50 that's when starts one of the most beautiful moments in music videos history.

I have no idea why this song hits me the way it does. I've been single for years and I heard it as a kid. I don't listen to a lot of music like this but I absolutely love this song.

Africa's best export, come back home Macy!

Truly a real woman, with an incredibly unique and gifted voice.

Love her husky voice 🤗😘🤗😘

Saw her perform last night! She was awesome and beautiful!

When I am in deep pain. No one helps me ride through it like Macy Grays music ❤ thank you

'He slowly but firmly grabs my throat. I try to say goodbye and I choke. I try to walk away and I stumble...' ~ 50 Shades of Macy Gray.

She has one of the most unique voices in the world ❤️

An absolute classic of all time.

I was born in 1966. All great music from the 60 70 80 and 90 I listened to. I am very lucky I was born when I was born

That teal outfit with the orange underarms will forever remain a 90's staple who we all remember as being Macy Gray.

Macy Gray was very underrated. 🔥🔥🔥

One of the best and unique songs in the world. We love you Macy Gray.💞💗💕💓💞💗💕

Classic voice, her own style like Whitney Houston had. Love This! I never get tired of hearing her voice.

I'm 24 and I remember this song from my childhood. It's still just as good!💚

This song reminds me of my 22 year old son who died in 2007. I thank Macy for this. Some says we just need to cry and those days are farther and farther apart..

had this song stuck in my mind the whole day,,, finally came to listen to it.... love it!

Her voice is so mesmerizing ❤

this song is 16 years old in now in 2015, and it's not dated at all, still fresh
