The Story:
Hassan is a bit of an urban prodigy when it comes to public speaking, mathematics and writing. His wife Melissa has loved him for that since high school but Hassan won't let go of his passion for poetry. Melissa has followed Hassan to every poetry-reading and coffee house for five years hoping his dream of being able to perform full time would pay off all the while holding off on her own dreams. He promised Melissa that if no opportunities came his way within five years of trying he would simply pursue a career with her in building their other business. Five years had come and gone and Hassan planned on keeping his promise to until he heard about a huge audition at the Chesapeake Arts Center. He got caught up because he had longtime hopes of sharing the stage with some of his musical heroes for one night. His material was dated so he begins writing on the train while headed to the audition but he couldn't get Melissa out his mind so he just started writing about her love for him. Hassan was a long-shot at best to be chosen and on top of that he is late and barely makes it to the audition. He rushes on stage and within seconds his words begin to freeze the judges. For the first time in his life he wins and is chosen but he declines as he thinks about his promise to his wife. He runs out the building hoping to catch up with her and the potential investors for their scheduled the business presentation. Melissa is struggling to present their business plans. These ideas were Hassan's not hers and he did all the presenting up til this moment. Melissa only handled the books and usually behind the scenes so she could not keep it together to present. Just as she was about to give up and the investors were considering leaving the meeting Hassan rushes in and shares his ideas and they love his presentation. Hassan and Melissa are given $150,000 to start their business venture. Hassan learned yet another difference between simply liking his wife and loving his wife.

Sometimes I forget what love really is so I listen as a reminder. ♡♡
Yes Geroge a dj played his music on my university radio station and I have been searching for him. Marcell is rich in voice and words. I really like the poet.. Much success and long live true music.
I honestly have not heard a man that simply makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up like Marcell. His music reduces me to tears.The US should be embarrassed that this man is not a house hold name. You have not had a talent of a singer and lyricist like him since Luther, Marvin, Al, Donnie, Gerald, or Peabo. He could likely sing a nursery rhyme and move people, simply amazing. I just realized Marcell actually writes the stories and video treatments for all his videos just brilliant. #uklovesyou #amazingtalent #havetoseeyoulive #bestmalevocalist #marcellrussell

This is one of my deep breaths
Wow, beautiful!

Nice Work!!!
Absolute fire... NECESSARY !
Thanks for the positivity
Marcell's lyrics and voice is consistently insane!. Black man you raise the bar for male vocalist and song writers period. I'm feeling the vid! The poet is ill and gorgeous and the sister is stunning. Great art.
thanks
Great video! The message is powerful and true!!!
Love it!
Beautiful!!!!
Well captured Keston, good story telling too.
This is Awesome!! Words spoken and lyric's sang ..Give them a contract
Awesome! Great lesson on the reality of love!
I remember the Chesapeake performance and how much this song rocked!!!
I would love to see a longer version that transitions the story to the full concert performance then back to the ending of the story.
Marcell, I really love your music. Beautiful video!!!
Interesting track. Must one have both (like and love) in order to truly love? To me they both seem the same, but different degrees.
