Who’s listening in 2024?😍

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

Who’s listening in July 2024?

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 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.

we need these vibes back in 2021.

If you are destined to come to this world with a mission, Macy Gray’s I TRY has accomplished it.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

One of the most underrated artists, ever.

I love how Macy Gray embraced her natural beauty

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

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. ❤

Its now 2020, who else loves this beautiful classic?

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❤.

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

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 ❤

Here for Andy's solo in The Office

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! 💞

Great to see Macy on the Masked Singer US. I knew it was her from the first song. Such an incredible and distinctive voice and hearing this again has brought back fond memories of the best year of my life, 1999.

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

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 😭

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

And with that song, i said goodbye to the most beautiful years 90-2000🎉🎉😢

i remember being maybe 6/7 years old and i was at the grocery store with my mom and this song was on. i danced up and down the aisles making up the choreography to match the lyrics 😂🥺 i loved this song so much, and still do. thank you macy 🙏🏼 ❤ core memory

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

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

Oh I just rediscovered this song. I love her voice. She was badass in Training Day.

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!

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.

O% twerking 0% nudity 0% insults 0% drugs 100% talent

Like if you just randomly thought of this song 🥴

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 .

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

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.

I was born in the 60's great tunes and still listening. So many great memories in the 80'S and 90's. Still here August 2024!!!

"Try to say to say goodbye and I choke. Try to walk away and i stumbled. Tho i try to hide it, it's clear, my world crumbles when you are not here." ❤❤❤

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

Just came to listen to this after seeing her with Piers Morgan great voice and common sense !

Who’s listening on 1st June 2024?

Thank you Jesus😊❤😂🎉

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

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

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

This brings back tears about a certain someone in my past, it will always be with me, this Memories of our love of each other. she will always have a place in my heart.

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

This song was in my head this morning

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

When I awoke this morning, this song played in my mind even between the USA Olympic competitions that I watched. Therefore, I had to find it on KZfaq and play it. 👍🏽🇺🇸

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

I just saw Macy on Piers Morgan, which brought me here. Lol. Great song and she was a nice guest on the show too. Her thoughts are how many others are thinking.

Macy Gray forever 🙌🏻

"I used to listen to this song in the afternoons while doing my homework back in 1999, at my parents' house. good memories!

'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.

"it could be a love song, but it's really a heartbreaker with a very personal story behind it. Macy Gray was signed to Atlantic Records in the mid-'90s as part of a rock band, but the album they made never got released. With her music career kaput, Gray became a secretary and married her boyfriend, a mortgage broker named Tracy Hinds. They had three children together but split up just as Gray got a solo deal with Epic Records. Many of the songs Gray wrote for her first album were about Hinds, including "I Try," where she explains that she wants to be strong and leave his memory behind, but can't bring herself to do so"

Started watching surreal life and forgot how I really like her music from back in the day😊

excited for my girl to be on the real world this season!!! love u macy!!!!

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

Women power, we are behind you 100%.

I miss the hippie/alternative neo-soul of the 90s

Still can't believe she never won that Grammy.

I always loved listened to Macy but now I love her even more for speaking truth and standing strong against the insanity of the leftist clowns.

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

Her voice is iconic! Who wouldn't listen to her in 2024?

Voice of a angel that has stood the test of time

A time when music was good

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

Love this song. This and blame it on the rain. My 2 guilty pleasures

This voice is so relaxing Macy leaves no sound unturned, her concerts are so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤July 4 2024 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

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

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

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

It is crystal beautiful now as when I heard it first. Only now it is a rare gem, an aged wine.... pure love. She was really underrated. Sometimes the sweetest should are stamped on... Love you Macy. You remind me of myself too..

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 alright 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 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) 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 I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not near Goodbye and I choke (yeah, yeah, yeah) Try to walk away and I stumble (hey, hey, yeah) Though I try to hide it, it's clear (sick of love) My world crumbles when you are not near (love, your love, kisses ends) Goodbye and I choke (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

God bless you, ma’am ♥️

We need more of Macy; she brings the best out of everyone.

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

You can't cancel a legend!!!

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.

Her beauty and incredible voice is intoxicating

Macy Gray was very underrated. 🔥🔥🔥

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, ....... 😔😔😔

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!

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.

I'm came here after her recent interview 💖💖💖 thank you Macy!😘😘😘

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.

I remember where i was in 1999 when this came out. 12 yrs old. Now im 38.. KEFE!!! 😂

Good for you having the courage to speak your mind about woman Dont apologize for that

I love this lady!

Africa's best export, come back home Macy!

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.

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
