This is and has always been my favorite Robin Thicke song. So beautifully written and performed with so much meaning. This song can be interpreted in many different ways but to me this song has always pointed to the power of God and what He can and will do for us. Everytime I hear this it brings tears to my eyes because Robin sings this song with such conviction that is rarely heard in music today. Thank you Robin for creating such beautiful music! And PLEASE go on tour soon!
This song took me out of depression and suicidal thoughts so many times. Something about it acknowledges pain, and then gives it 2 The Sky. Thank you Mr Robin Thicke & the entire band.
Was going through depression and anxiety 10 years ago, and this song was on repeat for me. Definitely help me let that pain go and give it up 2 the sky!
Amazing falsetto. Nice range. Phenomenal artist. Love his vocal interpretations. Nice chemistry with his band. Music blends and comes together as a very tight unit. Great music!
wicked tune!!!! love me some Robin Thicke the old, new and brokenhearted, his words are real that's why he writes so well!!!! look how many times I've listen to this song and its about GOD, prayer and his struggle!!!
Yes exactly you get it too. This is why I love it so much. Many people struggle everyday but don't realize that they can look "to the sky" for help and relief.
His falsetto is just exceptional. He seems like a more experienced Tyler James. I've lived this song for some year now, and it never sound old, but will always be a classic. He's so blessed.
The first time I heard this song Robin played it during a CD signing at the Hollywood Grove. I became an instant fan and have been listening to him ever since. 2 The Sky Robin!!
Man, I feel this song deeply. When I first listened to it I was blown away. Dude killed it on this one. I loved the way the emotion of the track built its way up to an incredible climax and all that. Listen to the lyrics and feel it.
This song mean so much to me, every line & every note in it speaks to me. Spells my emotions to a floating river of pain through the space absorbed by an unknown black-hole. This song along with and other song titled "U center me" are the only sedative to my souls wounds. Every now and then I feel so down, unsatisfied with my existence and luck, Not really asking for a bigger house or a faster car, nor success nor fortune nor fame, I listen to it/them to comfort me. I know where happiness lies, I know what I want, I know what I need; but too bad I still don't have it, and through 35 years on this earth I barley had it. *Sigh Mr. Thicke got it JUST RIGHT. Muchas Gracias Sinior / Shukran
2 The Sky Robin Thicke Produced by Robin Thicke & Pro-Jay Album: The Evolution of Robin Thicke It's amazing the way the darkness falls And the truth out there is cold And nothing to keep you warm Jealousy and lies within me I got a feeling the sun won't shine today And I gotta to know right now Will I be rich, have everything I want I stop myself and look to the sky Oh, I got to give myself up to the sky The only truth is in the sky Nobody else can tell 'cause I'm stuck in a spell Of greed and anger and hate Oh, I tried, I tried, I tried to rise above it But it comes right back Creeps up on me and it hits me Double time This can't be my fate It's never too late I wake up holding on to this pain And there's nothing else I can do But to give myself up to the sky When you ask yourself Hey why me and why not me? When you're down on your knees Look to the sky Just look to the sky You don't need no faster car Or no bigger house All you really need is friends and love Hey come on home Just throw up your hands Throw up your heart All you really need is love I'm comin' home So come on home
I LOVE THIS ROBIN THICKE.....HE MADE MUSIC MEANINGFUL!! I DON'T LOVE THE STUFF HE'S MAKING NOW, I WISH HE WOULD REVERT BACK TO GREAT R&B LIKE HE STARTED OUT WITH....THIS ALBUM WAS ALL THAT & THEN SOME...LOVE THE INSTRUMENTALS ALSO, IT HAD A GOSPEL/JAZZ FEEL TO IT! SUPERB ROBIN
You are definitely talking about me there. I'd never heard of him, now this afternoon I've been over dosing on him. He is the bridge between black and white r n b singers as far as I can see !
One of my favorite Robin songs. First time I heard it was back when he did this very performance live for AOL. One of his best. Soul music is exactly where he belongs.
God above and the devil below this song is quite simply a sheer singularity of emotion and thought....as close to perfection as one artist can hope for. My new favorite song.
" i got a feeling the sun wont shine today." that part always tears me up. Cause sometimes it's like that. This song always reminds me of things × in my life i try to forget... But the end always revived me " You dont need no faster car or no bigger house all you really need is friends & love" i always break down lol... I wish i could thank this man personally for this song.
Robin's music is still good. People grow up and their music changes. He is still awesome and sexy and always will be. I thin his music has gotten better.
Man they jammed this song!! It made me wish I was in the room with them while they played this live!! I watch this video repeatedly, each time focusing on a different instrument. Love love love!! 😍😍
Robin Thicke and Marsha Ambrosious have to be the TWO MOST UNDER RATED artists out today. They have some amazing voices. Also, Daley if you haven't heard of him.
You don't see Robin Thicke and his band get their worship on do you!?!?! I missed it the first twenty times myself. "Lord we love you, Lord we love you, take me to the sky." "faith and love" "down on your knees" "why me? why not me" the keyboard player raising his hand in praise. Amen, they're praising our Lord!
I heard the song the same way, Joshua. I never deciphered the words, "Lord we love you." As a result, I always imagined Robin left the lyrics purposely vague on who/what was in "the sky," so people of almost ANY faith could appreciate the song by projecting their own faith into it. Pretty inclusive, really.
This song is one of the best songs wrote Robin rocks . This man makes is so talented he should have racked up tons of awards by now . I feel bless to have all of his CD'S and truly know his amazing talent.
this song makes me cry. tell me this song doesnt make you feel something. to the 4 ppl who disliked this song.. I dont care if you don't even like his voice. the lyrics alone are great!
This song, man...I have the album, loved out from then. But the experience of watching out be performed, seeing the band getting forest list in this peformance has me in tears-the beautiful simplicity of it all-no protools, just making music the way it's supposed to be done & performing w/in the moment.
this is a live performance!!!!!! fucking great, no one (alive) is like Robin Thicke, great voice, Great Performance, great Lyrics, Greatest male RnB singer alive, in my opinion
Classic album 💙 from a multi talented artist. Shame about the ending of his marriage. Loving his new material. I hope he is given another chance 💙from The Poetess - Cesca💙Jazz!
The Evolution of Robin Thick is by far one of THE BEST albums that came out in 2006. I still love the whole album to this day.
Dora Jenkins Very true. So do I!
Indeed
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Yes Honey!!!
I have this album on iPod. Never go a day without listening to it.
💯
This is one of the most pure and honest songs I have ever heard.
one of the most underrated songs.
Robin's most underrated song by a mile. The groove from 3:42 to the end is infectious!
So True i kept putting that on repeat over and over
It brings tears to My Eyes every time I hear it.
schonkable you are so right! Fav part
I was going to say up to this point in time the end of this song is like butter!!! oh MY GOSH!
Yes, you are right....it is almost like three songs in one!
This is and has always been my favorite Robin Thicke song. So beautifully written and performed with so much meaning. This song can be interpreted in many different ways but to me this song has always pointed to the power of God and what He can and will do for us.

A testament of how powerful this song is. I love love love this song. Gets me out of a depressive mood whenever I need it
Was going through depression and anxiety 10 years ago, and this song was on repeat for me. Definitely help me let that pain go and give it up 2 the sky!
Sending you Love, Light, Complete Healing, Compassion Hope, Happiness, Prosperity & Abundance 🙏💖✨💖✨
I just do not understand why he is rarely judged by his talent but other rumours and issues. He really deserves far more fame and success.
Consider the norms of values of those making the accusations 😐
3:42 is R&B gold. So good that its makes you wanna cry. I'm 54 and this sounds like something Donnie Hathaway used to do.
AGREED!
Same here
thank you for remembering Donnie.
The evolution of Robin Thicke is an album full of little jewels. Thi song is the brightest.
Will I be rich ..?.. Have everything I want ..?.. I stop myself, and look to the sky. This whole album is Awesome !! I love singing this Song !!
Why there's not a million views?? Such a beautiful song!
This song bring tears and touches your soul with such intensity.The range this man has,the soul,the spirit.I love it.Still listening in 2021
Amazing falsetto. Nice range. Phenomenal artist. Love his vocal interpretations. Nice chemistry with his band. Music blends and comes together as a very tight unit. Great music!
I keep coming back to this song...this is real music that never gets old #soulful
One of my FAVORITE ALBUMS. Robin still get coins from me playing this damn near everyday. ❤️❤️❤️
wicked tune!!!! love me some Robin Thicke the old, new and brokenhearted, his words are real that's why he writes so well!!!! look how many times I've listen to this song and its about GOD, prayer and his struggle!!!
Yes exactly you get it too. This is why I love it so much. Many people struggle everyday but don't realize that they can look "to the sky" for help and relief.
Damn this song rocks!!!! WAY better than blurred lines.
love this song...
Isn't there room for both?
Robin Thicke Sounds Exactly like the album live !! This Whole Album Go's from intro to outro !! #2 The Sky !!
IT'S 2020 AND I STILL LOVE THIS SONG! BRING THIS MUSIC BACK!!!!!
His falsetto is just exceptional. He seems like a more experienced Tyler James. I've lived this song for some year now, and it never sound old, but will always be a classic. He's so blessed.
no matter how many times i hear this song. it moves me to tears. good tears. Amazing !🥲
One of the most "slept-on" songs and artists of all time.
This album came out 18 years ago and this song, this song continues to be my favorite RT song!!!! He doesn’t get talked about enough for his talent!!!
Who's still listening in January 2021?
What?!?!
Still groving!💖💖💖
2024!!!!
The first time I heard this song Robin played it during a CD signing at the Hollywood Grove. I became an instant fan and have been listening to him ever since. 2 The Sky Robin!!
😍😍😍😍 this robin was everything
You are phenomenal Robin and still to this day. So sad people don't appreciate your dedication and artistry.
This is my go to song when I am super depressed - Thank you Robin
I was REAL young when this song came out, but this man’s voice was undeniable. IS undeniable.
Can't stop watching/ listening to you and your musicians on this one.....beautiful, elegant, graceful.
I remember watching this performance on tv n still I'm blown away n 2018!
I really forgot how great this entire CD was.
Classic record. Only song I don't care for is "Shooter".
@@himoverthere6716 Good point. We'll give him a pass for that song.
Same! It just popped in my head now (May 2020)
I love how you can tell everyone can just feel it. Love this song
Man, I feel this song deeply. When I first listened to it I was blown away. Dude killed it on this one. I loved the way the emotion of the track built its way up to an incredible climax and all that. Listen to the lyrics and feel it.

2 The Sky
Robin Thicke
Produced by Robin Thicke & Pro-Jay
Album: The Evolution of Robin Thicke
It's amazing the way the darkness falls
And the truth out there is cold
And nothing to keep you warm
Jealousy and lies within me
I got a feeling the sun won't shine today
And I gotta to know right now
Will I be rich, have everything I want
I stop myself and look to the sky
Oh, I got to give myself up to the sky
The only truth is in the sky
Nobody else can tell 'cause I'm stuck in a spell
Of greed and anger and hate
Oh, I tried, I tried, I tried to rise above it
But it comes right back
Creeps up on me and it hits me
Double time
This can't be my fate
It's never too late
I wake up holding on to this pain
And there's nothing else I can do
But to give myself up to the sky
When you ask yourself
Hey why me and why not me?
When you're down on your knees
Look to the sky
Just look to the sky
You don't need no faster car
Or no bigger house
All you really need is friends and love
Hey come on home
Just throw up your hands
Throw up your heart
All you really need is love
I'm comin' home
So come on home
I LOVE THIS ROBIN THICKE.....HE MADE MUSIC MEANINGFUL!! I DON'T LOVE THE STUFF HE'S MAKING NOW, I WISH HE WOULD REVERT BACK TO GREAT R&B LIKE HE STARTED OUT WITH....THIS ALBUM WAS ALL THAT & THEN SOME...LOVE THE INSTRUMENTALS ALSO, IT HAD A GOSPEL/JAZZ FEEL TO IT! SUPERB ROBIN
Bridgette Cooper I agree with you
100%
Amen sista
I remember seeing this on his tour
Still gives me a huge smile thinking about it and hearing them jam to this live
You are definitely talking about me there. I'd never heard of him, now this afternoon I've been over dosing on him. He is the bridge between black and white r n b singers as far as I can see !
Absolutely LOVE this song. The lyrics are so profound and real. ❤❤💯The Evolution of Robin Thicke got me through alot of days working overnight!
Freshman year at Bowie State University. Great times! This song is by far the best of his work. Music just isn't the same anymore. :(
I love this live jam session!😙
Beautiful song, instrumentals are awesome.
Pure musical genius.
One of my favorite Robin songs. First time I heard it was back when he did this very performance live for AOL. One of his best. Soul music is exactly where he belongs.
God above and the devil below this song is quite simply a sheer singularity of emotion and thought....as close to perfection as one artist can hope for. My new favorite song.
Get down on your knees and bring it 2 the sky!! Love it
Awsome! At 3:26 I'm thinking song is going to end and it just takes another sweet beat. Smooth, I like it.
" i got a feeling the sun wont shine today." that part always tears me up. Cause sometimes it's like that. This song always reminds me of things × in my life i try to forget... But the end always revived me " You dont need no faster car or no bigger house all you really need is friends & love" i always break down lol... I wish i could thank this man personally for this song.
Robin's music is still good. People grow up and their music changes. He is still awesome and sexy and always will be. I thin his music has gotten better.
What a soul-ful Brother!!
Still listening July 23,,2019
1980GradyBaby Atlanta Ga loves it.

You can tell the musicians had too much fun playing this song
This song is so spiritual
Robin Thicke for the love of God Please Go back to this music Fuck the Money its about the Music !

Man they jammed this song!! It made me wish I was in the room with them while they played this live!! I watch this video repeatedly, each time focusing on a different instrument. Love love love!! 😍😍
One of the greatest some ever written
Robin Thicke and Marsha Ambrosious have to be the TWO MOST UNDER RATED artists out today. They have some amazing voices. Also, Daley if you haven't heard of him.

you just ruined the song for me

Pretty inclusive, really.
+Ed C how bout you find some faith and you won't be so offended.
Never mentions Jesus. So one can't assume which "lord" he's talking about... it is a great song nonetheless.
@@himoverthere6716 True brother man.
I played this song over and over. I love everything about it!
This song is ageless in my opinion
MY LIFE RIGHT NOW!!!! IM THROWING MYSELF TO THE SKY!!!
This song is one of the best songs wrote Robin rocks . This man makes is so talented he should have racked up tons of awards by now . I feel bless to have all of his CD'S and truly know his amazing talent.

This song, man...I have the album, loved out from then.
