"Whaler" is one of the greatest albums ever recorded . I love Sophie . (This is a different version of "Only Love" to the one that appears on the album) .
Fun fact: all the instruments shown in the video? Sophie can play! Growing up in my teenage years I had a crush on her. I remember thinking "she'd probably wreck me" lol. Thank you Sophie B for being yourself! Your caged intensity always frightened me just a little bit.
I first heard the song at the end of mrs. Winterbourne I thought it was real good so glad that I found it after all these months of watching mrs. Winterbourne . Thanks.
OMG!!! I **LOVE** This song!!! Actually it's part of the S.B.H trifecta for me.... 1.Damn! (I wish I was your lover!) 2. As I lay me down. 3. Only Love....
The album version of this track is my favourite off the Whaler album - an absolute gem of a release and still sounds great all these years later - keep singing Sophie!
Being a straight hardcore guy for almost 30 years.... i imidiately fell in love with her music when i first heard it back than.... amazing mzsic from an amazing woman
This indeed, to clarify some of the other posts, is the single release mix/edit/version. This was the one heard at the end of Mrs. Winterbourne. I had heard the album mix first and fell in love with it. They both come from the same recording elements (Same vocal tracks being the big key), but that album version-- the soaring introduction vocal, the, lush backgrounds, the "theremin"-like middle break....almost damn near perfect. When I heard this, I was like "Eh....wait...what?' I mean it's still great, but the album version does it for me every single time.
I remember this song very well from my High School Freshman Year Sophie B. Hawkins is one of the best storytellers in the music industry Back in the 90's, you had great Female Singers, Songwriters & Musicians Sophie B. Hawkins, Stevi Nicks, Melissa Etheridge, Joan Osbourne, Jewel, Paula Cole, Natalie Merchant, Patti Rothberg, Imani Coppola, Amanda Marshall, Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morrissette, Tori Amos, Liz Phair, Sarah McLaughlin, Cyndi Lauper, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, Gloria Estefan and of course, The Queen of Pop Herself Madonna This song was Top 20 Adult Radio, Top 40 on the Adult Contemporary Chart and Top 20 on Casey's Top 40 from 1996 God Bless Sophie B. Hawkins for a job well done and BTW, I use to watch the Music Video on VH1 Plus, this song was out when shows like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, California Dreams, Ghostwriter on PBS, American Gladiators, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Living Single, The Crew, Friends, ER, Martin, New York Undercover, X-Men, Party of Five, 90210, The Single Guy, Caroline in the City, Step By Step, Boy Meets World, Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, Hang Time, The Nanny, Dave's World, Murphy Brown, Home Improvement, Frasier, Seinfeld, NewsRadio, Sister Sister, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on CBS, Ellen, The Drew Carey Show, Grace Under Fire, The Naked Truth, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, TNT Saturday NITRO, WCW Monday NITRO on TNT and Sisters were still on the air Plus, Michael Jordan RULED the NBA on NBC, Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Ervin and the Dallas Cowboys once again RULED the NFL, Bret "The Hitman" Hart still RULED the WWF, ECW was the land of EXTREME, Oprah and Ricki Lake were still the QUEENS of Daytime Talk and America's Team known as the Atlanta Braves RULED the MLB back in the 90's Remember those days?
I need you more and more to break my will tonight... strikes me as getting as personal as a human can get in a song. The most honest too. It gets to me deeply and I identify with it.
This is a great song. Thanks to the movie Mrs. Winterbourne for featuring this song in the end credits. I actually one of Mrs. Hawkins albums after hearing this song.
I saw her at the Charleston Sternwheel Regatta in 1995 when "Whaler" was released. It was sort of an "Unplugged" kinda concert. She was phenomenal! This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Everytime I listen to it, it's like I'm listening to it for the first time.
***** Yes, I know she is a lesbian. I've known since she came onto the music scene in 1992. Why is that even relevant? There is nothing in my original comment that mentions, or even hints, at her being a lesbian. I was talking about her music and how it reminds me of her music and a concert she performed when I was in college. You must be one of those trolls who only post comments to start an argument...comments that have ZERO to do with what the original post, or any of the other posts, that were made. Thanks for your post, but it really has nothing to do with what I posted.
+jukodebu Sorry for the late response. I didn't get any notifications for this thread. Anyway, she has always been very open about her sexuality, even from when "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" was released in 1992. I have never thought about it whenever I listen to her music. She sings from the heart. She sings what she feels, what she thinks. I respect that. I have been a fan from the very beginning.
I like how this video really showed us something of the real person. She aged a bit, but she's still what we see here, more because she learned like more and he has more to offer
I heard this version on the Mrs Winterbourne sound track and loving it. Then bought Whaler and was really disappointed by that version. i love boh now, but prefer this one. x
Sophie b. Hawkins has always been a great singer and dancer. I always enjoyed her music and I always will. I would like to see Sophie b.Hawkins Come to the wind Creek in Bethlehem Pennsylvania. I know she would do good there
i actually found someone who could be here mother last year in November. i mean the lady could really be her mother or older sister. Its a different perspective but lets me appreciate ladies more and more specifically here. my local lady is 5 to 10 years older,but about the same ideas and lifestyle
One of the rare songs where the album version is far superior to the music video version. it is nice to watch the film Mrs Winterbourne again since seeing it in the cinema in 1996.
i love how you sang that perfect rhythm in the middle of the song.drummer perfect.
INSANE how down right to the core BEAUTIFUL this song is !!! 🥰
Revisiting my favourite artist again and again, perfect timing 💙
Great classic..!!
"Whaler" is one of the greatest albums ever recorded . I love Sophie . (This is a different version of "Only Love" to the one that appears on the album) .
Beautiful she signs
I Really like her songs
You do excellent recording .
God bless you with all my respects
And prayers to you all.
so true, I love that album!
Agreed
I think this version is better as bit fastet
This version is a bit too poppy..I'm missing those horns..
Only love can bring us peace ☮️ only love ❤️ can set us free .....hail to the 90’s 💃 🙌🏻💞🥰🤗
A great message indeed but still a stupid ass song
Some of these lyrics are lusty and others are Godly-- like the chorus could be sung in church! Great song!
Fun fact: all the instruments shown in the video? Sophie can play! Growing up in my teenage years I had a crush on her. I remember thinking "she'd probably wreck me" lol. Thank you Sophie B for being yourself! Your caged intensity always frightened me just a little bit.
I LOVE HER SONG "DAMN, I WISH I WAS YOUR LOVER". MRS. WINTERBOURNE BROUGHT ME HERE! I WAS SURPRISED THAT THE SONG WAS BY SOPHIE! 💜💜
This woman is very wise. Only love can bring us peace, only love can save me and you. Hey gringa, wake up my sleeping beauty. Thanks.
I first heard the song at the end of mrs. Winterbourne I thought it was real good so glad that I found it after all these months of watching mrs. Winterbourne . Thanks.

Remember those days?
Mrs.Winterbourne
I was just trying to remember which movie I knew this from
same
I have to say that I'm not a big Sophie fan but I must admit that she was probably one of the most underrated recording artist of the 90s.
She's here at the right time. That time most definitely is different for everyone. 😊
I respect that but I think she's amazing
Who underrated her 🤔?
Sophie, from Russia with love. Right beside you - great song, song for happily.
I need you more and more to break my will tonight... strikes me as getting as personal as a human can get in a song. The most honest too. It gets to me deeply and I identify with it.
Sophie is Brilliant. I love this woman ❤️. Very talented.
I NEVER get tired of hearing this song and it's been 20 years.
I could listen to this album over and over and over. In my opinion, this is her best.
IM TIRED of this crap after 45 seconds. P..U..!!!
@@Sykyk777 tell me about it, this song was made by someone with manic depression for people with manic depression
Beautiful 😉👍
Oh...my...gawd....THAT HAIR! Been in love with that hair since I was a teenager in 1992. Rest of her ain't bad, either!
I know right, her hair is amazing 🎉
My first girl loved Sophie,Jewel,and a few others I can't remember. that time period had its own special thing going on.
I love this song very much, and Right Besides You
this song always makes me feel alive and like myself.
I love how she is strong and week at the same time, and you still walk away saying, what a beautiful woman if not experience
"Only Love Can Make A Miracle Of Life." ❤
Smiles, hello Cynthia 🌺 😊
I Love Sophie ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Beautiful woman, beautiful voice
This is a great song. Thanks to the movie Mrs. Winterbourne for featuring this song in the end credits. I actually one of Mrs. Hawkins albums after hearing this song.
simply amazing
Love this big time oh yes 😻
I'm glad this song was a single from Whaler as well as As I Lay Me Down and Right Beside You.
😍Sempre innamorata di Sophie dalla canzone Right beside you...La sua intensità mi ha sempre eccitata😘😘
😊❤
I saw her at the Charleston Sternwheel Regatta in 1995 when "Whaler" was released. It was sort of an "Unplugged" kinda concert. She was phenomenal! This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Everytime I listen to it, it's like I'm listening to it for the first time.
Jennifer Compton she' s a lesbian

how do you know she's a lesbian? i didn't know that
+jukodebu Sophie self-identified as an "omnisexual", so yeah, women, but also men.
+jukodebu Sorry for the late response. I didn't get any notifications for this thread. Anyway, she has always been very open about her sexuality, even from when "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" was released in 1992. I have never thought about it whenever I listen to her music. She sings from the heart. She sings what she feels, what she thinks. I respect that. I have been a fan from the very beginning.
A beautiful song, beautifully sung.
Sophie is a Goddess
Both her and the song are positively lovely :-)
I like how this video really showed us something of the real person. She aged a bit, but she's still what we see here, more because she learned like more and he has more to offer
awesome!
amaizing album
This is one of my favorite songs by her :) thanks for posting this
Great voice
It's like a Psalm without being religious.
Great song...great voice ..
Wow, I keep discovering music she's done-what an amazing artist!
God, I adore this song!
What a great song.. never heard before..I like it
FASCINATING AND CAPTIVATING MUSIC, MELODY SONG AND LYRICS. TREMENDOUS VOICE. I LOVE YOU MY BUGATTI MI AMOR ETERNO.
Wow, I had forget about this song!! Lovely memories...!

This is fantastic!
Smiles, hi there 🌺 😊

Great song to listen to
Only love can conquer fear! Lady Judith 2020 !
@Scattermuffin
Sophie has class. Yes, sexy and suggestive, but clothed.
Something sadly lacking in many females today.
Great comment ♥
MadMark
Totally agree. She is soooo sexy but in such a great suggestive natural way. Never cheap an nasty
VERY TALENTED----SO UN DER RATED LIKE MOST OF ARTIST....JR
I finally realized why you do this. That full expression is just a great catharsis. And damn if that makes you more attractive at the same time
As wonderful today as the day it was released. ❤️
beauty song..
I really appreciate this song more after seeing the end of the story or at least the progression of the singer.
i always loved her. Time to meditate and do some elementary roots music with her too.
took me long enough to understand,but i love this now. I needed to find her analogue by now.
Beautiful song. 2024❤
Very good again.
Beautiful song.
It`s sooo niiiice!! - Why didn`t I know that this song is from Sophie?
Well, now I know it!!! ;-)))
I heard this version on the Mrs Winterbourne sound track and loving it. Then bought Whaler and was really disappointed by that version. i love boh now, but prefer this one. x
My teen years. I loved her music.
Nice doggie Sophie! (Nice house too!)
This is my cruisin' song.... My daughter laughs at me when I sing it.... HA Great lyrics!
interesting, they cut pieces of the original video in. Sofie played all of the instruments in this song for the album.
2020 and I'm still in love with this song :)
me too♥️
yeah she's special lady that I can't forget
Love Her
Sophie b. Hawkins has always been a great singer and dancer. I always enjoyed her music and I always will.
I would like to see Sophie b.Hawkins
Come to the wind Creek in Bethlehem Pennsylvania. I know she would do good there
i actually found someone who could be here mother last year in November. i mean the lady could really be her mother or older sister. Its a different perspective but lets me appreciate ladies more and more specifically here. my local lady is 5 to 10 years older,but about the same ideas and lifestyle
Best Version.
😍😍😍😍😍
Only love can set us free Mary Joanne!
One of the rare songs where the album version is far superior to the music video version. it is nice to watch the film Mrs Winterbourne again since seeing it in the cinema in 1996.
No it's not, the album version is way too dark and has no melody, without this remix the song NEVER sees the radio.
When the heart is willing
This song gives me warm fuzzies :)
Brett Whiteaker Her whole album Whaler will make you feel that way.
LOL i just noticed you have listened to the original and made a comment. Yes, the lead in of the original is quite special.
she appears to wander furiously around the place in all of her videos!! :D
This version is WAY better than the album version!
A less trip-hop version than the album version. A much more commercial vibe but still good 🖤
i love the barefoot enthusiasm and her total openess and honesty about things, in other words a quality 90s hippy😅
She isn't singing about earthly love.
She's the voice of us. the voice of Gomer, singing to Hosea.
I have a difficulty expressing whats the most important,yet I don't have to sing a showy song. I do appreciate the artist ar the same time too.
Holy smokes. I'm on fire from listening to her
What happened to Stranger in my Blue Jeans or Strange Thing, or No Connection. Were these videos pulled. I really like those videos when they were up.
Excelente temazo. Lo mejor de lo mejor ❤
Were I remembering?
Mrs. Winterbourne
Shame this didn't become a top 40...it's catchy
It made the Top 40, it peaked at #19 on the Mainstream Top 40 in March of 1996
