    to anyone scrolling through the comments while listening, i want you to know you are more than just a body. if someone doesn’t like you for you then they definitely don’t deserve all that come with you, including your body. be kind to yourself.

      I feel you. This version does the song justice in a different way. I’m always bumping the original by Jermaine Stewart because I love it, and my daughters are always asking me to play it. Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking when they hear it as I’m driving by and it’s only me in the car. lol!

      @@deanogemini6082I’ve tried describing the original in words, but to me it’s indescribable. Just the mood it puts me in does it for me. 10 times out of 10 the lyrics in the hook would guarantee that a song would flop, but it just works. I like the innocence of it.

    I was looking for the original by Jermaine Stewart and I spotted this. The original was sung in the 80's when AIDS was ravaging a lot of communities, and there was such a stigma around sex/sexuality. The singer passed away from HIV at a young age... So sad- he was such a star- such a light for the world. So glad this song is getting out there again! It's kind of joyous and playful.

      MinxLaura123 yes in 1997 of AIDS, a month before Ellen came out and in a totally different time it feels. I was hoping this song would bring more attention to him. His grave wasn't marked for 17 years until I found it and brought attention to it. I got to bring his brother and friend to the grave to see the new stone last year. I made a UA-cam documentary series called 'Jermaine Stewart Experience'. He really was a great artist and I just hope that one of these people covering him will just mention him already and that they will give his catalog a chance and do him justice. :)

      The amount of nonsense you just spews are just fucking hilarious. Just because her Music seems to be more depressive and emotional doesn't that makes it better than the original.

      Sierra Runion Typical respons coming from morons who chooses to play the innocent card. It's very clear that you were trying to imply your opinion to be objective fact that this version is better than the original because you Think this version makes the message easier to understand than Jermaines version. You clearly implies that Jermaines version is worse just because he didn't get the message clearer or put any Deep emotion in to the song. The problem is that the song wasn't meant to be depressive ballad song in the first Place. It was written to be a funk song which is clearly why it fits.
      You seems to not be aware of the fact that there are no such thing called crappy or good Music and that people Thinks different but it seems that it won't get it trough your head since you still trying to wrong other peoples opinion and impose your own on them.
      Im so fucking tired of idiots who tries to make their opinion sounds like facts and tries to compare covers with originials and other covers.
      It's like comparing rock with jazz while they are different genres with different type of people who likes it. the same goes with Jermaine and Ella Eyres.

    just heard this song for the first time 2 days ago during a veryyyy deep and dark depression. it helped me. it helped me understand my actions before were not pure and acceptable. it literally made me reach out to women who I had or had tried to use in the past. I even sent it to women I know with teenage daughters. I never want another person to feel like they were used or a piece of meat again! life long effects. Gents talk to your sons. Ladies talk to your girls. let's make a new and positive norm!

    I absolutely adore this song! It has so much meaning, love is more than just sex, you can enjoy eachother’s company in many ways. I would always prefer walking along the beach..or sitting on grass in locked arms, and having good conversations..I have not yet found a person who wanted to be with my soul and not just my body, and that is why I stay single at 19 and have never had a relationship..love is not the same as it used to be but I refuse to settle, and this song speaks on how I truly feel about it all. ❤

    The first time I heard this song, my girlfriend played it to me before we headed out to an LGBT Prom in August this year (2018). The second time she played it to me, we were in an apartment we were renting for holiday. She took my hand we slow danced to it in the living room with this song playing loudly. She held me tightly and I cried into her shoulder. I’ve never felt so loved in my whole life.
    We’d both been badly mistreated by previous relationships, and this song means a lot to us both.
    We’ve been friends for 9 years and in a relationship for 1. I look forward to our future where we can slow dance to this again, and one day when we can dance to it at our wedding.
    She saves me every day, and I try my best to do the same for her. I love you, Gee ♥️🏳️‍🌈♥️
    -Elias
    Edit: hello everyone! Thank you so much for so many wonderful comments and likes, me and Gee are both very touched by your kindness and love. Blessed be everyone ♥️🧿♥️
    Edit 2: Hello again! I’m pleased to announce that Gee proposed to me on May 4th ‘19, and of course I said yes! We’re one step closer to dancing to this song on our wedding day. Thank you all again for the likes and the lovely messages. May you all have peace and love all your lives ♥️🧿♥️
    Edit 3: Hello everyone! Thank you so much for all of your adorable and lovely comments and all the likes, me and Gee are so thankful for each and every one of them. We’re planning on making our own vlog together sometime soon, which’ll be fun! Sending you all lots of love and happiness too ♥️♥️♥️ - haha that didn’t happen, but hopefully one day it might!
    Edit 4: Hello to all you lovely people! Okay so, Gee will be going to university at the end of next year, so that’ll mean she’ll be moving away from out home town. Gee’ll be away studying for the best part of 4 years, and as we’ve known each other for 10 years, it’s not gonna be very easy. We’ve agreed that after she’s graduated, we’ll get married. Keep tuned in folks! Lots of love! ♥️♥️♥️
    Edit 5: Hello folks! ♥️ Due to a fair few peeps wanting to know how we’re doing, we’re doing alright thank you! We’re currently getting her ready to go to uni next month. Can’t believe how fast it’s crept up.
    Thoroughly relieved to be back together after the social distancing measures. We’re so used to seeing each other every week, that when we didn’t get to meet up for several months, we really struggled. But we’re still going strong and still annoyingly lovey dovey. We hope you all are staying safe and well during these tough times. Much love. I’ll update again soon when more things happen!
    Take care and all the hugs 🤗 ♥️♥️
    Edit 6:
    Friday 18th September 2020 was our last day together before Gee leaves for university, which would be tomorrow. We’ve spent nearly all week together. We went to Thorpe Park on Wednesday, saw some of our best friends on Thursday and spent Friday together getting the last bits she needed to take with her. We’ve had a good cry and many hugs, but now she’s off on her way. She’ll be back in a month’s time. I miss her already. It’s not going to be easy, but we’ll get through this.
    Thank you all for your lovely messages, your well wishes and your interest in the updates. I can’t believe it’s been two years since I posted the first message. We’re both so touched by your words of encouragement, interest and kindness. I’ll still post updates on how we get on with a long distance relationship.
    Love you all,
    Elias ♥️♥️♥️
    P.S. my Instagram is crystal_chameleon if any of you are interested.
    Hey there folks! (Edit 7: 25th April ‘21)
    It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Both of us have really loved seeing all of your wonderful, kind and supportive messages. Please keep them up, we always love seeing them.
    Okay so lots of you have requested an update, bless you all haha.
    Gee’s recently returned to uni last weekend and she’s doing so well. She’s settled in well, made lots of lovely good friends. I’m really proud of her with all her hard work she’s put into her classes.
    I’ve still been struggling with my mental health but I’m getting better. I’m getting some help for my anxiety and depression and Gee has been my rock and refuge in my times of distress. Lockdown is slowly being lifted, but I’m still struggling with how it’s affected my life.
    Me and Gee are still going strong though, we’re still full of lots of love and we’ve always got each other’s backs.
    I’ve not updated for a while as there’s not been much to write, but I always love coming back to see what you’ve said and to let you know how things are with us.
    Take care you lovely lot, I’ll post again sometime soon again I’m sure.
    Lots of love,
    Elias ♥️♥️♥️
    Edit 8: January 17th 2022
    Hello darlings. I’m sorry I’ve not written anything for so long. I hope you’re all well!
    Gee and I spent Christmas together, which was an absolute treat. She couldn’t stay for very long back home, as she needed to go back to university. She went back a couple of weeks ago and we won’t probably see each other until Easter. Gee’s got a week of exams this week, so she’s a busy bee.
    I’m currently in the process of changing my name to Elias, so yeah that’s a thing.
    I got a new job, I’m pleased to say. My mental heath is getting better too. Spent most of last year studying too, I hope one day to become a counsellor for LGBT+ youths.
    I’ll try to remember to post another update again soon.
    Lots of love,
    Elias ♥️♥️♥️♥️
    Edit 9: 15th June 2021
    Hello everyone! I hope you all are well!
    I think that it’s this is overdue an update.
    I’ve successfully change my name legally now, which has made me feel much happier in myself and my identity.
    Gee’s doing really well at university I’m very pleased to say. Always knew she could do amazingly and she is. She’s had her final exam for her second year and will be coming back to our home town for the summer in the next month or so.
    I’ve been reading through the edits I’ve written and time has gone by so incredibly fast. I can’t believe I first wrote the original post back in 2018?? So much has happened since then, but our love only continues to grow.
    I come back every now and then to read and re-read all of your lovely comments and I’m stunned at the positive and kind responses we’ve had, and we’re always so thankful for the love you’ve shown us. We feel very special. I feel sharing our love story with you all has been an honour. Myself and Gee have been making plans about her moving in with me when she graduates, which isn’t as far away as I once had felt.
    If you want to follow us and keep updates with how we are, feel free to follow my Instagram crystal_chameleon. I don’t use it very much but it’s there if you want it.
    I hope you all are safe and well. Much love and I’ll be back again soon!
    So much love to you all,
    Elias 🌸
    Edit 10: January 14th 2023
    Hello everyone, long time no talk!
    I’m so sorry it’s taken so long to update, I would’ve done it sooner but the video kept crashing every time I went to the comments.
    Me and Gee are still very much together I’m pleased to say!
    Had a magical surprise last night. I’d come home from a long shift at work, went to crash in my room and my Dad called for me to come downstairs. I came into the living room, not entirely sure what was going on and there she was! Gee had come home and surprised me! She and I live across the country, it’s about a 6 hour drive between us and drove back to our home town to surprise me. I screamed for joy!
    Just thought you’d like to hear that. I hope you all are well, I’ll try to update things again soon!
    Much love,
    Elias ♥️♥️♥️
    Edit 11: 11th December 2023
    Wow, I had no idea it had been this long since I last updated this.
    It’s been quite the year, that’s for sure.
    We are still together and still very much in love, don’t you worry!
    One majorly significant event this year was that Gee finally got to have the restorative and major spinal surgery she’d been needing for many years. Finally had it done a few months ago and it’s improved her quality of life tenfold. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster but she’s recovered from it and continues to improve every day.
    She’ll be coming back home this coming weekend for Christmas and I can’t wait to see her again. Gee’s nearing the end of her uni studies now and we’re talking about finding a place together when she graduates.
    Thank you all for the wonderful comments and interactions we’ve received either here or on my instagram, it really means a lot to us.
    Take care of yourselves and sending you so all much love.
    Elias and Gee
    🥰🥰🥰
    Saturday 20th July 2024
    Howdy howdy everyone.
    Best news ever, Gee is back home from university, for good!! I can’t believe how fast the 4 years have gone, but Gee is back and I’ve never known joy like it.
    Hope you all are well, we’re both so pleased to be back together and we try to spend every spare moment we can get together.
    Much love,
    Elias ❤❤❤
