Such an under-appreciated album. Relistening now in my 30s, and damn, I didn't even realize what great stuff I was dancing to as a teenager. She was so ahead of her time in so many ways. Talking about media BS, authenticity, cultural appropriation, sexism, self-confidence, representation and all those important things way back in 2003. A true icon that will stand the test of time.
@@SDS-ee9js I didn't say this specific song touches on all of these themes, but it certainly touches on some. Literally the first line - "All I know is everything is not as it's sold". Lies being sold sounds like general social commentary to me, not just like a line about a romantic relationship. After all, why should we assume all songs are about romance only?
Nunca olvidaré cuando vi este video en Los Diez Mas Pedidos de MTV en el 2004, esa era la hora mas sagrada del día cuando venía del colegio a prender la tele.
It was and is one of my favorites songs, but now I am 34 years old I can understand and feel the lyric. Life can be so different as we dreamed one day and that reality is so hard. But if you have a good partner you have to fight and live life as good as possible. Love you Nelly!!!!!
I remember waking up in my highschool years, turning the TV on and this song was playing!! This happened almost everyday :') I miss MTV in those days, when they actually played MUSIC videos.
As a video producer whose parents happen to be immigrants from São Miguel, this video is a masterpiece in how these simple vignettes depict the immigrant experience of moving to Canada. It's just so perfect and beautiful. I cherish this song, this video, and all the feelings it gives me about my cultural heritage.
I was barely in high school when this song came out and I always thought it was very beautiful (and so was the video). Now I'm 30 and the lyrics really hot me differently after everything I've gone through growing up, I hadn't paid attention to the lyrics until now and they made me cry. Truly a great song.
this song was a safe place for me to go as a child and I’ll always be so grateful for that. I cannot properly describe how much I love this song or how much it means to me
Ayer esta melodía apareció en mi mente y no podía recordar quién la cantaba. Opté por buscar a Nelly porque me recordaba su tono de voz pero no estaba entre sus canciones más reproducidas, entonces busqué y busqué en otras cantantes pero en el fondo me seguía sonando a Nelly. Hoy me propuse a encontrar la canción y al fin!!! Es triste que tenga tan pocas reproducciones. Buenos recuerdos de la adolescencia, otras épocas, otra calidad de la música y los artistas.
At the end.. when she says this is who we are... and it's wonderful... makes all my skin shake. One of my favorites love songs of all time. Listening it since I was 13 years old and still!
Nelly Furtado - Try All I know Is everything is not as it's sold But the more I grow the less I know And I have lived so many lives Though I'm not old And the more I see, the less I grow The fewer the seeds the more I sow Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try, try I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness And all the real people are really not real at all The more I learn the more I learn The more I cry the more I cry As I say goodbye to the way of life I thought I had designed for me Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there I'm all I'll ever be But all I can do is try Oh, try, try, try All of the moments that already passed We'll try to go back and make them last All of the things we want each other to be We never will be, we never will be And that's wonderful, and that's life And that's you, baby This is me, baby And we are, we are, we are, we are We are, we are Free In our love We are free in our love Try.
I've been listening to this song for 10 years, it's my favourite song of all time. I was a loner as a child. I suffered and recovered from depression, and I'm dealing with loneliness. I'm still alive. All I can do is try.
Ah...yes I've gone through that loner period in my life. It sucks big time but it can give you something those socialites don't have, time. Use it and grow 2 brains :) By time, things get better especially if you are willingly to try from different angles.
Same here ! This song expresses how I feel many times. I hope you're better, being alone sometimes could be something good. It helps you to get to know yourself.
I am able to identify and relate to what you experienced, and my solemn advice to you is that search for God(Allah) as he is the Most Beneficient and Most Merciful- seek the divine help of the Lord of the Worlds (heavens and the earth and whatever is in between) to guide you in this transient(temporary world).... May Allah (The absolute and only God) bless you whenever you are and whatever you seek to do in this temporary life....
You need to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. He is the only One who can take away the pain. I have been through so many moments like that in my life. I was only completed when I received the Lord Jesus. Now that pain is a thing of the past. Jesus is my friend now!
Hey, I don't know you or where you live but I live in Texas and I have been depressed for years. My sister in law just did ketamine therapy for her depression and she is giving me the same gift. I will start the therapy in the next week. She said she was suicidal and now she is free. I have known her for 30 years and I never knew she was suffering like I was. I'm encouraged by her breakthrough and excited about mine. Check it out for yourself. Love ❤️
This song clearly includes two different layers. At the beginning, the first 2 stanzas, Nelly is talking about how she has become wiser than when she was a kid and dreamed about how great life is in general. She now realizes that people can be fake and mean and "really not real at all". This knowledge confuses her ("the more I grow, the less I know"), she slowly loses the ability to deal with life ("the more I see, the less I grow"). As a conclusion she burries all the images she created as a kid ("say goodbye to the way of life...") for they are now useless to her. The chorus tells us another layer: The song has slowly turned into a description of a relationship. The first time she sings about him "wanting more" from her, we get the feeling she is sad about the situation, as she is unable to fulfill his wishes, she feels she is not enough for him. During the rest of the song, the mood clearly changes: The last part shows how she realizes she can try and try and she will never achieve whatever he wants from her, but this knowledge does not destroy her. In fact, it helps her recognize who she is and that they both are imperfect. During the climax of the music she finds relief, as she now knows they both will never be perfect, and that makes them beautiful together. In their relationship they can both be who they truly are: "All of the things we want each other to be, we never will be And that's wonderful, and that's life And that's you, baby,This is me, baby And we are, we are, we are, we are Free In our love" Amazing how wise Nelly sounds at such a young age. This song is ingenious.
Great analysis. I love that you read into as much as I do, it's such an amazing meaningful song. My interpretation of the chorus, is rather than it being a relationship, it's her audience or producers or parents. And the bit about you and me is talking about her and us as humanity. But that's what is so beautiful about music, is you can take it for what it means to you as an individual. This song came out when I was 18, I'm now 34, and the sentiment of the lyrics have changed and meant so many different things to me over that time. I could really relate to feeling older than my years. And now I feel like I know less than I did back then. Funny old world.
Thank you so much for analyse/description. I wondered about the meaning of this song since I listen the first time. And now 16 years later... finally! 😆🤣 I meant, I could understand of the song in some parts. But the chorus messed me up. I try to understand what she's mean by that. But now it's clear.
Se extrañan esos tiempos, la buena música, los unplugged que sacaba MTV, los 10 más pedidos del día a la 1 de la tarde en Perú, de la semana los sábados, y el esperado top 100 de fin de año. Esos eran buenos tiempos.
Exacto!, Me recuerda ese programa, no me lo perdía todos los días, despúes de regresar del colegio mientras almorzaba, así transcurría el 2004 en Guatemala, buenos recuerdos.
Esta canción fue de mis favoritas en mi adolescencia, me encantaba verla en MTV y siempre quise un vestido con el de Nelly para sentirme como en el video
A mí me encantaba, era mi canción favorita de ella. Llevaba tiempo intentando recordar el nombre. Y ahora me ha sacado una lágrima. La letra es demasiado hermosa.
Buenos tiempos.. Buenos temas.. Buenos recuerdos .. Como van a hacer los pibes de ahora Con el regeton.. No me los imagino cantando esas letra regetoneras.. CHOCAME LA PARED.. repite esa frase 78 veces.. En un tema.. Si es que se le puede decir tema..
yo en esos años buscando el amor como un tonto envidiando a muchas parejas sin saber que el verdadero amor lo tenia en casa junto a mi madre, ahora que no la tengo me lamento de muchas cosas.
Yo también creía ciegamente en la idea que te vende el sistema sobre el amor, las presiones de tener pareja, casarte, etc la parejita ideal y con el paso de los años te das cuenta que lo único Real es el amor propio y el que te entregan los seres queridos.
Es verdad. Hoy veo el pasado como un tiempo desperdiciado, dónde día a día se me iba la oportunidad de abrazar y besar a mi mamá. Hoy no me importa nada, no quiero a nadie, solo quisiera volver a verla, decirle tantas cosas
All I know Is everything is not as it's sold but the more I grow the less I know And I have lived so many lives Though I'm not old And the more I see, the less I grow The fewer the seeds the more I sow Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness And all the real people are really not real at all The more I learn the more I cry As I say goodbye to the way of life I thought I had designed for me Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there I'm all I'll ever be But all I can do is try Try All of the moments that already passed We'll try to go back and make them last All of the things we want each other to be We never will be And that's wonderful, and that's life And that's you, baby This is me, baby And we are, we are, we are, we are Free In our love We are free in our love
LYRICS: All I know Is everything is not as it seems But the more I grow the less I know And I have lived so many lives Though I'm not old And the more I see, the less I grow The fewer the seeds the more I sow Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Try I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness And all the real people, are really not real at all The more I learn, the more I learned The more I cry the more I cried As I say goodbye to the way of life I thought I had designed for me Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there I'm all I'll ever be And all I can do is try, Try All of the moments that already passed already passed We'll try to go back and make them last All of the things we want each other to be We never will be, we never will be And that's wonderful, that's life That's you baby This is me baby We are, we are, we are, we are, we are, we are Free In our love We are free in our love Try
We will miss this generation of beautiful divas: Natalia Imbruglia, Soraya, Alanis Morissette, Mandy Moore and Nelly Furtado, and more. 0% sexual video, 0% twerking, 0% Kardashian 100% talent 100 % lyrics.
Es tan hermosa esta canción.... Pero el video... dios mio! Es muy lindo y tan logrado, va perfecto con la canción, ella luchando incluso contra el clima.
Nelly was already so wise far beyond her years at suchba young age. Yet she was also so in touch with the pulse of the moment. I loved her early work so much.
I agree with Adi, this song is so special. It's not a happy song, but a true-about-life song. Sadness is part of our lives too... It's also brings sadness to get remembered by older days when we were younger and maybe happier.
Esta cancion significa mucho para mi ,la escuche para el 2004,una madrugada mientras prestaba guardia en una base militar en colombia,habia mucha violencia en aquel tiempo y solo queria que terminara rápido mi servicio militar para estar con mi novia ,la que hoy es mi esposa,esta cancion me producia tranquilidad en medio de la guerra, nunca se borrara de mi cabeza
Except for the last part of the song, where it's quite obvious it's about love, I think the lyrics can also be interpreted as a self acceptance conversation with one's self, realizing all that he/she has been through and looking into the mirror and still not feeling good enough so that he/she has to try again and again. Probably I'm wrong but when I think about it, I can't help but love this song more.
By watching her videos, I realized I miss Nelly Furtado's music. I like making covers, and I'd love covering this. People always tell me I should cover Justin Bieber's new song, or Ariana Grande's and so on. I mean, you can like them, fine, but they just don't give me what songs like this one give me. So even if it means less views, at least the emotions are real. Isn't that what really counts, at the end of the day? Sorry, I wanted to share this with people who can probably understand me, since they're here too. :)
true , it dosen't matter if the song is new or old , what really matters is the connection you feel with it , i'd love to hear your cover of this one . even though my fav is I'm like a bird
La escuché cuando tenía 10 años, trataba de cantarla aunque no sabía que significará, marcó mi niñez - adolescencia, y la amo, más ahora que sé lo que dice... Pocos podemos apreciarla 😔
@@gilbertoaguilar5027 Desde mi punto de vista trata sobre que muchas veces las cosas y/o la vida no es como uno cree o quiere, lo único que queda es seguir intentando, seguir luchando....(para mi)
This song is like wine: it gets better by aging. Btw I find it amazing how a song can be interpreted in so many ways and change meaning when you get older. I personally think we won't ever understand completely this song, because every time we listen to it we automatically learn something new from it. The power of music.
How come anybody not know about this song before that book? I remember seen this video on Mtv the first time and it instanly became one of my favorite songs of Nelly F. I think is my favorite, the whole Cd is just sooo good. I love Nelly she's so great and she sings in spanish a lot.
Because most people who think 50 shades of gray is a great book are probably not older than 15 (because it's a big steaming turd of a book, but you don't realise that if you've never read any other book) and weren't around when this was first released. Unlike the book, this song is beautifully written (and sung).
Der Song an sich lädt schon zum träumen ein. Für mich verbunden mit melancholischer Sehnsucht. Die erste Liebe, sagt man, hinterlässt die größten Spuren. Und tatsächlich erinnere ich mich noch heute an den zerreissenden Schmerz. Und spätestens ab 2:40 wird es schwer die Tränen zurückzuhalten. Ich habe diesen Song geliebt als er erschien.
Lástima que hayan descubierto ésta canción muy tarde y solo por esa película. Yo sé que en su momento fue muy escuchada pero me refiero a las personas que no vivieron esa canción cuando recién salió. Es muy hermosa y aunque odio que la sobre valoren por la película, me da gusto que mas gente la conozca y la ame como yo
El álbum Folklore, donde aparece esta canción, es realmente bueno, cosechó muy buena crítica aunque no fue muy comercial. Si te gustó tanto esta canción deberías escuchar todo el álbum encontrarás seguro algo más que te pueda gustar.
I came here because I love this song, I was surprised when I saw it got over 10 million views in the last months (it always had around 4-5 million) and then I saw the comments about 50 shades, don't just...don't. This song means more than that excuse of a book
Why "only" 38 Million views?! This is one of the most beautiful and meaningful songs from the 2000s... The radios played it day and night back then, and that was good. I am happy to found this beautiful song back after Nellys comeback. I'm so glad she's back, because hardly any other musician reminds us of the 2000s as much as she does. And she's still got it! A wonderful woman with beautiful music that I, as a rock and metal fan, also love to listen to. Hopefully there will be more new stuff from her!
I loved this song. I was about 15 and I decided to go out and buy a guitar, so I could sing this song myself. dream to be a singer never came true, but the song's message is great to this day - we are who we are and we are beautiful.
Este hit fue nro 1 en Los Diez Mas Pedidos de MTV en el 2004 y sin embargo no estuvo en el conteo anual de los mejores videos. En fin...la hipocresía jajaja!!!!.... Lo que sí marcó mi adolescencia y amo este tema!!
here because I used to listen to this song all the time and then I just heard it on the radio today. I didn't know it was on fifty shades but like cool that more people are discovering the song. honestly who cares how they found it?? good comments fight
Quizás por escuchar este tema de joven, fracasas en relaciones de pareja por hacerte pensar qué intentar es bueno cuando no es real. Lección aprendida.
Didn't I just say that I was *deeply saddened* by the fact that people associate it with the books/movie? Meaning that I actually like the song and hate the fact that E.L. James decided to ruin it by adding it to her slush pile trash? So much so that it makes me weep for creativity?
Nelly I hope you see this! I saw an interview of her saying that after hours of performing she would sit alone in her hotel room and look at the floor, feeling like a fraud thinking that people liked her more for her image, rather than her music. I grew up in a very religious home and was only allowed to watch the music videos where people were dressed modestly and not talking about sex and drugs. I remember watching “I’m like a bird” and beaming with happiness that someone famous looked like me, all because you had a long modest skirt. You made me feel less out of the club by showing ur voice, not your body. So I hope you read this one day and see that it’s exactly the opposite. Your music has soul that creates its own image. It was never about your looks or how your label tried to sell you, it was always about you nelly, not your labels perception of you. Ps. This song had 10 year old me letting her emotion out (grew up in a war and lost many close people). I couldn’t connect to kids songs or “adult” songs, but you felt like peace.
It's really beautiful to read your words in 2023... This song and the clip really has that reject modernity, embrace tradition vibe. I'm from Portugal and from time to time I also come back to this song, feels good. Hope everything good comes to you in your life
like Bruno before me said: it's really nice to read you, 2023 still..but almost over..peace to you and everyone, let's hope we'll get there finally and soon!
this song gets me everytime.. its 2006 just finished my 6 years duty in the army and coming home from abroad. dealing with ptsd and the los of friends that i served with.. this song helped me to survive! nothing hurts you and also give you peace then songs related to your own past.
This is actually the first time I've seen the video (absolutely in love with this song and album which was and is still is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED) and from 2 seconds in I knew it was directed by Sophie Muller ("She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5 and "Cool" by Gwen Stefani"). Such a distinct style.
All I know Is everything is not as it's sold But the more I grow, the less I know And I have lived so many lives Though I'm not old And the more I see, the less I grow The fewer the seeds, the more I sow Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is Try Try I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness And all the real people Are really not real at all The more I learn, the more I learn The more I cry, the more I cry As I say goodbye to the way of life I thought I had designed for me And I see you standing there Wanting more from me And all I can do is try Then I see you standing there I'm all I'll ever be But all I can do is Try Oh-oh, try Try Try All of the moments that already passed We'll try to go back and make them last All of the things we want each other to be We never will be We never will be And that's wonderful And that's life And that's you, baby This is me, baby And we are, we are We are, we are, we are, we are Free In our love We are Free in our love Try
Folklore is my favourite Nelly Furtado album and Nelly is one of my favourite female singers and songwriters of all time. Passionate inside as she is hot on the outside. She came the closest I'll ever get to modern day commercial music, because she's super creative and knows how to pull it off with artistic credibility. We are more or less the same age and have the same childhood influences like Billy Joel's Glass Houses album and a drama teacher we miss very much. This video's spanish theme is something I instantly fell in love with. Since early childhood, I have this fascination with bulls, matadors, white arches and flamenco. Sometimes I guess a totally different single than 'the world'. I love stuff like Believers from Spirit Indestructible and Phoenix from your new album. Stay yourself and direct to your listeners. Loving you and your art. Ladies & gentlemen..Nelly Furtado.
I absolutely loved this song when it came out when I was 13, But Now 13 years later it got way more real. Starting your own life is no easy task these days.
love this song so much... its one of her best

How was this song about any of this? It’s about the reality of a relationship not working out and accepting your partner despite their imperfections.

Nelly Furtado - Try
All I know
Is everything is not as it's sold
But the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try, try
I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn the more I learn
The more I cry the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Oh, try, try, try
All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be, we never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
We are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love
Try.

At the beginning, the first 2 stanzas, Nelly is talking about how she has become wiser than when she was a kid and dreamed about how great life is in general.
She now realizes that people can be fake and mean and "really not real at all". This knowledge confuses her ("the more I grow, the less I know"), she slowly loses the ability to deal with life ("the more I see, the less I grow").
As a conclusion she burries all the images she created as a kid ("say goodbye to the way of life...") for they are now useless to her.
The chorus tells us another layer:
The song has slowly turned into a description of a relationship. The first time she sings about him "wanting more" from her, we get the feeling she is sad about the situation, as she is unable to fulfill his wishes, she feels she is not enough for him.
During the rest of the song, the mood clearly changes:
The last part shows how she realizes she can try and try and she will never achieve whatever he wants from her, but this knowledge does not destroy her.
In fact, it helps her recognize who she is and that they both are imperfect. During the climax of the music she finds relief, as she now knows they both will never be perfect, and that makes them beautiful together. In their relationship they can both be who they truly are:
"All of the things we want each other to be, we never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby,This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
Free In our love"
Amazing how wise Nelly sounds at such a young age.
This song is ingenious.
Great analysis. I love that you read into as much as I do, it's such an amazing meaningful song.
My interpretation of the chorus, is rather than it being a relationship, it's her audience or producers or parents. And the bit about you and me is talking about her and us as humanity.
But that's what is so beautiful about music, is you can take it for what it means to you as an individual.
This song came out when I was 18, I'm now 34, and the sentiment of the lyrics have changed and meant so many different things to me over that time. I could really relate to feeling older than my years. And now I feel like I know less than I did back then. Funny old world.
Thank you so much for analyse/description. I wondered about the meaning of this song since I listen the first time. And now 16 years later... finally! 😆🤣 I meant, I could understand of the song in some parts. But the chorus messed me up. I try to understand what she's mean by that. But now it's clear.
@@Living_Connectedness Lol, this is literally a copy/paste from the internet if you search the meaning of this song.
This analysis is so wrong, you are far from understanding what Nelly is talking about
Thank you for taking the time to break down the lyrics. It made me understand the song better. And yes you are right about this is an ingenious song

Se extrañan esos tiempos, la buena música, los unplugged que sacaba MTV, los 10 más pedidos del día a la 1 de la tarde en Perú, de la semana los sábados, y el esperado top 100 de fin de año. Esos eran buenos tiempos.
Exacto!, Me recuerda ese programa, no me lo perdía todos los días, despúes de regresar del colegio mientras almorzaba, así transcurría el 2004 en Guatemala, buenos recuerdos.

A mí me encantaba, era mi canción favorita de ella. Llevaba tiempo intentando recordar el nombre. Y ahora me ha sacado una lágrima. La letra es demasiado hermosa.
La escuche en mi adolescencia, desde entonces me enamoré de esta artista. Escucharla en el 2021 es recordar buenos momentos.

Comencé a escucharla hace poco, y me volvi adicto, es hermoso esta canción. Como no la escuche antes!
yo en esos años buscando el amor como un tonto envidiando a muchas parejas sin saber que el verdadero amor lo tenia en casa junto a mi madre, ahora que no la tengo me lamento de muchas cosas.
Yo también creía ciegamente en la idea que te vende el sistema sobre el amor, las presiones de tener pareja, casarte, etc la parejita ideal y con el paso de los años te das cuenta que lo único Real es el amor propio y el que te entregan los seres queridos.
Es verdad. Hoy veo el pasado como un tiempo desperdiciado, dónde día a día se me iba la oportunidad de abrazar y besar a mi mamá. Hoy no me importa nada, no quiero a nadie, solo quisiera volver a verla, decirle tantas cosas
All I know
Is everything is not as it's sold
but the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Try
All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love

she didn't need to check it cus it was striking

Folklore was such a great album.

Personally I think it was her best album ever and her most personal one.
Like @goffalboi I agree, it's my favorite album of hers, the most personal, the most musical as well, the most real.

underrated, tho

This song never gets old. No matter how much I listen to it, I never get bored and always will be one of my favourite songs!
I heard this on the radio today and finally felt all of the pain in it, and truly appreciated her vocal ability.
Nelly was already so wise far beyond her years at suchba young age. Yet she was also so in touch with the pulse of the moment. I loved her early work so much.
Llegará el 2027 y seguiré amando esta canción como la primera vez que la escuché por allá del 2007. La mejor canción de Nelly.

@@kevinheatcoat2190 me refiero a que seguirán pasando los años y amaré esta canción. Pero sí, feliz año nuevo.
Now I'm 37, and this song sounds so much different from how it sounded when i was 22....
Why?
Love has come and gone, the song might be more hopeful or depressing as each lifetime sees it...
Same here... I'm 35
I'm 37 to, welcome to the 37 club.
as a 34 year old... I feel you.
I used to listen to this like 10 or more years ago on MTV, it brings so many feelings and memories, I feel kind of sad, I don't know why.
it's not just ya mate ..there's something with this song..
I agree with Adi, this song is so special. It's not a happy song, but a true-about-life song. Sadness is part of our lives too... It's also brings sadness to get remembered by older days when we were younger and maybe happier.

Esta cancion significa mucho para mi ,la escuche para el 2004,una madrugada mientras prestaba guardia en una base militar en colombia,habia mucha violencia en aquel tiempo y solo queria que terminara rápido mi servicio militar para estar con mi novia ,la que hoy es mi esposa,esta cancion me producia tranquilidad en medio de la guerra, nunca se borrara de mi cabeza
Che bel messaggio ❤.
Except for the last part of the song, where it's quite obvious it's about love, I think the lyrics can also be interpreted as a self acceptance conversation with one's self, realizing all that he/she has been through and looking into the mirror and still not feeling good enough so that he/she has to try again and again. Probably I'm wrong but when I think about it, I can't help but love this song more.
By watching her videos, I realized I miss Nelly Furtado's music. I like making covers, and I'd love covering this. People always tell me I should cover Justin Bieber's new song, or Ariana Grande's and so on. I mean, you can like them, fine, but they just don't give me what songs like this one give me. So even if it means less views, at least the emotions are real. Isn't that what really counts, at the end of the day? Sorry, I wanted to share this with people who can probably understand me, since they're here too. :)
You go ahead and play the songs that touch your heart :)
true , it dosen't matter if the song is new or old , what really matters is the connection you feel with it , i'd love to hear your cover of this one . even though my fav is I'm like a bird
hey, go on and play the songs you really like. I love guys like you.

My favorite song of all time...so meaningful... Please come back Nelly..
La escuché cuando tenía 10 años, trataba de cantarla aunque no sabía que significará, marcó mi niñez - adolescencia, y la amo, más ahora que sé lo que dice... Pocos podemos apreciarla 😔
De que trata?
Yo también escucha en 2004 en MTV tenía 11 años:(
@@gilbertoaguilar5027 Desde mi punto de vista trata sobre que muchas veces las cosas y/o la vida no es como uno cree o quiere, lo único que queda es seguir intentando, seguir luchando....(para mi)
This song is like wine: it gets better by aging. Btw I find it amazing how a song can be interpreted in so many ways and change meaning when you get older. I personally think we won't ever understand completely this song, because every time we listen to it we automatically learn something new from it. The power of music.
How come anybody not know about this song before that book? I remember seen this video on Mtv the first time and it instanly became one of my favorite songs of Nelly F. I think is my favorite, the whole Cd is just sooo good. I love Nelly she's so great and she sings in spanish a lot.
Because most people who think 50 shades of gray is a great book are probably not older than 15 (because it's a big steaming turd of a book, but you don't realise that if you've never read any other book) and weren't around when this was first released. Unlike the book, this song is beautifully written (and sung).
This Song is as devastating After a break up as it is inspiring when you are in a new relationship
Der Song an sich lädt schon zum träumen ein. Für mich verbunden mit melancholischer Sehnsucht. Die erste Liebe, sagt man, hinterlässt die größten Spuren. Und tatsächlich erinnere ich mich noch heute an den zerreissenden Schmerz. Und spätestens ab 2:40 wird es schwer die Tränen zurückzuhalten. Ich habe diesen Song geliebt als er erschien.
Dito....
Lástima que hayan descubierto ésta canción muy tarde y solo por esa película. Yo sé que en su momento fue muy escuchada pero me refiero a las personas que no vivieron esa canción cuando recién salió. Es muy hermosa y aunque odio que la sobre valoren por la película, me da gusto que mas gente la conozca y la ame como yo
a que película te refieres?
Tienes toda la razón. Después de 10 años de su creación muchos y muchas la conocen por esa película... Lástima!
El álbum Folklore, donde aparece esta canción, es realmente bueno, cosechó muy buena crítica aunque no fue muy comercial. Si te gustó tanto esta canción deberías escuchar todo el álbum encontrarás seguro algo más que te pueda gustar.

I came here because I love this song, I was surprised when I saw it got over 10 million views in the last months (it always had around 4-5 million) and then I saw the comments about 50 shades, don't just...don't. This song means more than that excuse of a book
Are you watching this in 2023? It's okay, you're not the only one.
Why "only" 38 Million views?! This is one of the most beautiful and meaningful songs from the 2000s... The radios played it day and night back then, and that was good. I am happy to found this beautiful song back after Nellys comeback. I'm so glad she's back, because hardly any other musician reminds us of the 2000s as much as she does. And she's still got it! A wonderful woman with beautiful music that I, as a rock and metal fan, also love to listen to. Hopefully there will be more new stuff from her!
Un bellissimo commento 🥰! Anche io non mi capacito delle sole 38.000.000 visualizzazioni 😔.
I loved this song. I was about 15 and I decided to go out and buy a guitar, so I could sing this song myself. dream to be a singer never came true, but the song's message is great to this day - we are who we are and we are beautiful.

Portuguese goddess! This album Folklore really explores her roots
Quizás por escuchar este tema de joven, fracasas en relaciones de pareja por hacerte pensar qué intentar es bueno cuando no es real. Lección aprendida.
The fact that this beautiful song is now associated with 50 Shades deeply saddens me.
SHUT UP THIS IS A CLASIC SONG GET OUT YOU AND YOU R STUPID MOVIE
Didn't I just say that I was *deeply saddened* by the fact that people associate it with the books/movie? Meaning that I actually like the song and hate the fact that E.L. James decided to ruin it by adding it to her slush pile trash? So much so that it makes me weep for creativity?
Kitty Grimm sorry, i love you.
Kitty Grimm same thin with sex on fire for me its like seriously. Shitty writer had to make up for her terrible writing somehow i guess
Its not introduced till the second book
Nelly I hope you see this!
I saw an interview of her saying that after hours of performing she would sit alone in her hotel room and look at the floor, feeling like a fraud thinking that people liked her more for her image, rather than her music.
I grew up in a very religious home and was only allowed to watch the music videos where people were dressed modestly and not talking about sex and drugs.
I remember watching “I’m like a bird” and beaming with happiness that someone famous looked like me, all because you had a long modest skirt.
You made me feel less out of the club by showing ur voice, not your body. So I hope you read this one day and see that it’s exactly the opposite. Your music has soul that creates its own image. It was never about your looks or how your label tried to sell you, it was always about you nelly, not your labels perception of you.
Ps. This song had 10 year old me letting her emotion out (grew up in a war and lost many close people). I couldn’t connect to kids songs or “adult” songs, but you felt like peace.
Semper fi
It's really beautiful to read your words in 2023... This song and the clip really has that reject modernity, embrace tradition vibe. I'm from Portugal and from time to time I also come back to this song, feels good. Hope everything good comes to you in your life
like Bruno before me said: it's really nice to read you, 2023 still..but almost over..peace to you and everyone, let's hope we'll get there finally and soon!
The last minute gives me the chills, i heard this on the radio, it has been a long time but i loved this song, especially the ending
this song gets me everytime.. its 2006 just finished my 6 years duty in the army and coming home from abroad. dealing with ptsd and the los of friends that i served with.. this song helped me to survive! nothing hurts you and also give you peace then songs related to your own past.
This is actually the first time I've seen the video (absolutely in love with this song and album which was and is still is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED) and from 2 seconds in I knew it was directed by Sophie Muller ("She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5 and "Cool" by Gwen Stefani"). Such a distinct style.
"We are free in our love". This simple line won me over.

This song rises evenly in tension and feeling and has one of the best bridges, which results in a great climax. That's why I love this song so much.
is unfair this beautiful music video doesnt have 100Millions views!! Nelly Furtado deserve it!!
The nostalgia this song makes you feel is precious and painful at the same. Nelly's music is timeless.
Yesterday I was on my second year in high school, now I'm married, with one daughter. Time flies but this songs can make us still young
Esta fue la Nelly de quien me enamoré, mí amor platónico, después...
Fifty Shades Darker brought me here daayum "Does it mean Christian's going to try?"
I'm on a "I liked those songs, but had no idea what they were saying" marathon.
I still randomly find myself coming back to this song at random points in my life.
Me too😅❤

Está canción de fondo en MTV y yo llorando porque no vería a mi crush de secundaria en las vacaciones 😆
Folklore is my favourite Nelly Furtado album and Nelly is one of my favourite female singers and songwriters of all time. Passionate inside as she is hot on the outside. She came the closest I'll ever get to modern day commercial music, because she's super creative and knows how to pull it off with artistic credibility. We are more or less the same age and have the same childhood influences like Billy Joel's Glass Houses album and a drama teacher we miss very much. This video's spanish theme is something I instantly fell in love with. Since early childhood, I have this fascination with bulls, matadors, white arches and flamenco. Sometimes I guess a totally different single than 'the world'. I love stuff like Believers from Spirit Indestructible and Phoenix from your new album. Stay yourself and direct to your listeners. Loving you and your art. Ladies & gentlemen..Nelly Furtado.
I absolutely loved this song when it came out when I was 13, But Now 13 years later it got way more real. Starting your own life is no easy task these days.
