"... that we should all be unsatisfied with mimicking the popular, rather than mining the fertile veins of creativity that God placed deep inside each of us." YEEEESSSSSS!!!!
This song is my anthem - in the era social distancing. I Stand Alone... the only test is to survive, I will succeed, I will not die... I stand alone 👌🏾
My favorite rapper....and my favorite singer....on the same track...??? THIS MAKES UP FOR EVERYTHING BAD ON THE RADIO. what a find!!!! I love this song....holy crap.
ITS The EAST SIDE ANTHEM. You gotta know what common is demonstrating, Avalon park fights , Most of us East Remember those, Jackson park , THE Stones, STONY ISL profile. He's telling OUR story. ALL the WAY down..
+Charles McKinney Pretty much a BIG fan of Dr. Michael E. Dyson, I bet he did write it. But I don't know for sure and if someone besides Michael wrote it for him...it fits his style 100 ! Thanks for the reply also :)
Robert Glasper and his band are gifted innovated brothers that's giving us an alternative to redundancy in the music world. Black Radio and Black Radio 2 show's the versatility of Robert Glasper but make no mistake, his traditional jazz albums are also outstanding gems.
I love you so much man ! You play incantations, profound harmonies and rhythms that resonate with me on an existential level. Nothing but immense respect for you. Everytime I play the piano, I can find pieces of you in my improvs. And seeing you in Paris was one of my best memories ! Can't wait for you to come back once Miss Rona is done pestering us all. Much love.
Mr. Glasper, please feel free to release the instrumental version of this if possible!!!...One of the best tracks of 2013....Keep up the great work.....Thank you.
Whatever the color of our skin, "we all stand alone" ain't we ? We're so much sort of down deep alike tho'... with all our own trouble and doubts, personnalities... KEEP US feeding us with beauty Mister Glasper, please... you with your so talented and beautiful friends ! Much LOVE from Paris-France (when will you come to the New Morning or one of those basement cabarets ?) => I WANNA see and listen to you LIVE !!!
"No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of our knowledge. The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness. If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding. The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it. And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct you thither. For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man. And even as each one of you stands alone in God's knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth." --- Khalil Gibran ---
HI, MY NAME IS ISAAC, AND I STAYED ALONE, I AM A NEW MAN BY GOD THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS THE VOICE OF GOD IN MY MY MINED GOD IS GOOD 😊 THANK EVERYONE WHO MAKE THIS SONG GOD BLESS
I remembered during art class my teacher pulled out this song as well as other similar to his and it does make me think about if I was alone but nah at least I have my teacher who's passionate
Absolument SUPERB, IMPRESSIONNANT... The end of it leaves you sort of breathless, so stricking deep of meaning... Anyway it is just Robert Glasper and Co., and all of it. Exceptionnal Monsieur Glasper !... I knew this tune and its lyrics, but never fell on this graphic version. It is so strikingly full of meaning of live reality... And this incredible , unavoidable part of (afro)american culture, that we're quite a few of us, here in Europe to be rather or totally keen and found of it, beleive me ! Cheers to all from East abroad ;-)
This song forever empowers my mind, body, and spirit. Become yourself and not like others.
I stand with the Lord on my side
I feel stronger when I'm listening to this
Well we raised this bro on 87th every word is a reflection of us. Stony isl profile.. Big ups EASTSIDE!!!
What an absolute classic!!! The words at the end are legendary everybody should take heed
"... that we should all be unsatisfied with mimicking the popular, rather than mining the fertile veins of creativity that God placed deep inside each of us." YEEEESSSSSS!!!!

Common demonstrates precision of intellect and creativity. Usually known to bring food for thought.

This song is my anthem - in the era social distancing. I Stand Alone... the only test is to survive, I will succeed, I will not die... I stand alone 👌🏾

A mantra I've stood by my whole adult life
VERY PROFOUND JAM ! And Dr. Michael E. Dyson put the icing on the cake at the end...PREACH REV. & COMMON ! ❤ ❤ ❤
Lady V Ann: Did the professor write his spoken word part?
+Charles McKinney Pretty much a BIG fan of Dr. Michael E. Dyson, I bet he did write it. But I don't know for sure and if someone besides Michael wrote it for him...it fits his style 100 ! Thanks for the reply also :)
Michael Eric Dyson testifying?? Thankful this holiday season for Robert Glasper and the artists he works with -- bringing some calm to the chaos.
We are genius Mr.Glasper . I love mix rap and jazz. Its so original and beautiful . Keep it up :)
That intro though ...
This is powerful music
Needed to hear this
Such an underrated song, which everybody could here it
Love this song!

Can't fathom how anyone can dislike this
I came for Patrick, he sounds really good here. But the song is pretty encouraging, nice work
WOW !! HE UNDERSTANDS MY STANDING ALONE...THANK U
That speech at the end was so inspiring!!!!
Yea but kind of weird to focus it only on black folks. This applies to everybody. Was’t this dude some marxist or something?
Micheal Eric Dyson
So epic. Perfect for uplifting spirits.
Love this song we are dancing to it for our dance recital in my class
My life!!
Had no option but to buy the CD
Excellent choice!
One of my favorites songs on the album. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!

I love you so much man ! You play incantations, profound harmonies and rhythms that resonate with me on an existential level. Nothing but immense respect for you.

All the vocalists are magnificent though, mind you.
Powerful
Whatever the color of our skin, "we all stand alone" ain't we ? We're so much sort of down deep alike tho'... with all our own trouble and doubts, personnalities...
KEEP US feeding us with beauty Mister Glasper, please... you with your so talented and beautiful friends !
