Music video by D'Angelo, The Vanguard performing Back to the Future (Part I). (C) 2014 RCA Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment
"Everybody's wondering what kind of shape I'm in. I hope it aint my abdomen." These lyrics were shared in a 2012 GQ interview he did. After reading that article I understood the demons he battled from being a sex symbol. That's not D, that's not what he's about. He's all about his music, I don't believe he's too focused on his image. So I respect his hiatus, and I am thankful for the quality he has blessed our ears and hearts with again.
Well said. Now I wish Lauren Hill would get it together and follow his lead.
MuzikGuru1 ASAP!
Agreed! I know he regret doing the untitled video because after that video came out alot women wanted to see him with his shirt off. He is a great artist! This album is such much fresh air to music right now.
A artist cannot be held to their past, or what is "expected" of said artist to do. We must do what we feel. Ms. Hill is free to do whatever she wants to do!
I agree but at the same time I don't. People can say what they want. Yes. Voodoo is a classic album, but the visuals of seeing him as a perfectly fit black man played a part into why it was classic. It's no different than Michael and his penny loafers and unique leather jackets when Thriller was out. Or Prince with his lace outfits. Visuals play just as much a part as the music. Without visuals it doesn't become a movement or anything special.That's exactly why he put out this album out with no pictures of his current out of shape self. Even though it's the best album of the year.
The soul of j dilla is all over this song. RIP Jay dee.
This track is the ultimate triple-threat. Lyrics, production and performance -- they're all flawless. Absolute perfection.
"Used to get real high, now I'm just gettin' buzzed. I just wanna go back baby, back to the way it was"
- that's the chorus of the year folks.
Agreed, Man. This is "Absolute Perfection"
Co sign
No doubt, a masterpiece !
I feel so sad for all the music lovers that have just passed away to have missed this . RIP to all , sounds not to be missed
Yea but in heaven doe.. ?
deano9110 yez amen
i think this all the time! i thought it was just me.
This cut was sung with a Newport in his mouth. Cab Calloway, Sly Stone, JB, and Sammy Davis and all the legends would give him the nod and brim grab of approval
...And THAT!...Bet Prince DIGGIN' it TOO!
JAHzJaJa
'Another life' would have been loved by Isaac Hayes.
Yassssss!
if that's supposed to be a list of deceased legends I think you should be aware Sly Stone is still alive and I'm pretty sure he's met D'Angelo, so I'm pretty sure he already got the nod of approval
Living and gone. The funk is immortal.
It's not fair to pick a favorite on this album.
Damn near impossible.
NOT FAIR BROCK!
Tyrone W. James
DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TY
That's why we should never choose, we should just keep enjoying his progression musically man!
Haneef Rasheed straight up.
My favourite one so far. Best "oooooh's" ever. He's indeed back to the way it was with another instant classic.
I see your comments beneath all of the songs I look up on youtube. I think you and I are musical twins.
Man O'Neal hes quite the singer i hear.very distinctive
The real Tom Waits???
2cita05 I like the way he sang in his younger days. But after that...not so much.
This song (especially that bridge) gives me chills. This album is saving today's music.
I mean folks will be listening to this 10, 20, 30's years from now, no doubt
Brilliant work D' Angelo
listening on 11.16.2022 Joey you're right indeed!!!
I feel like doing the Charleston dance….1920s style
@@LUVINEMBRACE 🎯💯🙏🏼
I hope it's not my abdomen, you're referring to.
D'Angelo never been out of shape these years. His musicianly fitness has always been there. You just can't see it if you're not a music lover.
I found out about D'Angelo about 1 year ago via watching Questlove's Red Bull Music Academy Lecture. I listened to Voodoo hundreds of times since then... I was really sad to learn that D' never followed it up with anything. Figured it'd never happen, then I was browsing the HHH subreddit and saw someone had posted a teaser trailer. This excited me so much! A few laters day it dropped, and I was floored. I really thought that Run The Jewels 2 would be my favorite release of 2014, but this trumped it for me (I'm in a funk/jazz/soul phase right now). I've been listening to this track, 1000 deaths, TuTu, Betray My Heart, Sugah Daddy, and Real Love like crazy. Everyday multiple times a day. So good. Damn bruh. You outdid yourself, D'! :D
You picked the right time to discover this genius (don't know if you're a Maxwell fan, but he's equally frustrating). 15 years is a long effing wait for anything, but this masterpiece was well worth it.
So you didn't really wait for anything? Screw you!!!
I wish Qtip would release another solo album.
Hope you realised RTJ is ass lmao
This whole album is what I've been missing about Prince's output for so long. It's got all the familiarity of his best sound, with a freshness all its own. Love all the layered vocals, chicken scratch guitar, Clare Fischer sounding strings and jazzy horns. There's even something about the drumming on these tracks that sounds a cut above.
I'm sure D'Angelo draws from many other influences, but you can tell he's listened hard to Prince, perfected parts of that sound and taken it in a new direction. Now I wait in hope that Prince makes a D'Angelo sounding album...
R.I.P Prince :(
The first time I ever heard about Dangelo, I was in New York in a yellow cab, dude was playing the full brown sugar album, from’JKF TO MANHATTEN. It was a trip! I ask the cab driver who that was. That’s how I got aquinted and stuck to his music. He is a genius
Who's disliking these great songs? Show yourselves you cowards!!
People who dont know music. This is real!
D kept his originality and integrity. great song and album.
🥇
Damn D'Angelo!! We missed you homie! This shit is a banger!! Quality music as always
Far and away the finest track on the album imho. Back to the Future (I) brings together intelligible lyrics (!), an infectious groove and a compelling narrative of nostalgia for more innocent hedonistic days that can only resonate with fans who have lived the pain of D'Angelo's rocky 14-year hiatus!
2:32 to 2:52 'that bridge' just keep playin it' proper deep shit' a groove played with such intensity by
great musicians that are just fixed in it' then the string section on top' boy honestly just can't have
myself enough of that' love it' love it'
I know this chord progression from somewhere. Is it the Charleston?
I like how he's addressed his comeback and how he feels about it.
The absolute diz-ertiest of the crunchness-ness. Futurenow funk to bang that trunk, yet slinkin' my brain got my body slunk. The tune to take you from the moon to neptune. Thanks for the jam D, once was lost, now I can see.
its them strings.......tears....tingles...just absolutely beautiful
Too good and sweet..#cavities
YES!
that bridge is soooo sick cant stop playing along with it on guitar
2022 still bumping 🔥🔥
D' is on some dixieland blues type stuff on this joint. The second part is even more infectious.
I love the sly stone vibe of this track.Brilliant.
LYRICS
Traveling at the speed of light and then
At the same time I'm in the same spot too
The room was kept in
'Bout the same way you left it
With about the threats you mess in attitude
Where ya' been with all your grin
Until all your friends turn their backs on you
Reminiscing over what you've been missing
Could be just like cousins kissing
That's taboo
I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was
I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was
I used to get real high, now I
But now I'm just gettin' a buzz
I wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was
If you win, no matter if you lose
You got to come back again
Pay some dues
Back in Richmond, shit ain't changed a bit in
Niggas with a little piss in got some attitudes
I been wondering if I can love again
So if you're wondering about the shape I'm in
I hope it ain't my abdomen that you're referring to
Seasons may come and your luck just may run out
And all that you'll have is some memories, oh
Seasons may come and your luck just may run out
And all that you'll have is some memories, oh
Seasons may come and your luck just may run out
And all that you'll have is some memories, oh
Seasons may come and your luck just may run out
And all that you'll have is some memories, oh
Said I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
I used to get real high
Now I'm just getting' a buzz, now, now, now
I said back to the way it was, now, now, now
I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
I used to get real high
Now I'm just getting' a buzz, now, now, now
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
Drinking rum on my birthday, listening to this and crying. This whole album is so powerful. Thank you D'Angelo for giving me a soundtrack to my life for almost 30 years.
Need a neck-brace after listening to this song! Damn!
+AnkhGirl2 by song you mean album right lol

hahahaha
Yo, SERIOUSLY!
@@FKA_URBANLOGIC Seriously.
Just passing through Richmond,Va. Now! coming from NYC I miss home bad newz, va #virginia #jamesriverniggaz #804 #757
This is my favorite song on this entire album! That constant bass riff line is sickening.. d’angelo is 🔥
Masterpiece.
Song's been ringing in my head for a couple of hours; simply had to come satisfy the itch.
Thanks Dee.
NEO-SOUL gtta new one y'all and its about DAMN TIME! TIRED of the shit" they call music, This is truly GROWN FOLKS MUSIQ!! Ya did it AGAIN De'Angelo, Real Grown People needed this BADLY!! MANY MORE TO COME, but we gnna MARINATE ON THIS FOR A MINUTE, YA HEARD ME. Keep on Pimpin PIMPIN.
NOT neo-soul....just SOUL. This album makes me excited about music again!!! :)
This song has a ragtime feel to it. Back to the way it was
02:32 my my feet just instantly took on a mind of their own. The funk is just too much to handle. Slap that bass Pino
Almost a decade later, I'm still discovering details that surprise me. The beat is so playful and immaculate.
this the kinda album that you wanna listen to and be in the middle of a huge-ass art project!
The changes and elements to this song is INSAIN !!!!!!!!!!
Well, it's been well over a month since the release date and I'm still listening to this album with a mix of songs from voodoo on my playlist, mostly while commuting. I even try switching to mainstream radio to give it a rest but i find myself switching immediately back to d'angelo with a spice of Badu's songs. They get me through the day
Prince would Love this ISH!
Funky as hell. Play on D'angelo.
Creative freedom is powerful thing!
If D'angelo can release an album can we finally get Mayweather vs Pacquiao? Or how about a new Outkast album?
Unfortunately Andre 3000 has admitted he is no longer into music
cute cat by the way
May 2 I think..lol
joy ntuli
He did? =/ Aw, man..
Dont Know yeap, he said he felt like a sellout during their last tour
This is one of those albums that stay with you. In your heart,mind,spirit and memory. You just can't wait to get back to hearing it.No matter what I'm doing, one of these songs from this album will pop up in my head. I sometimes try to listen to other albums completely like I do on this album and it feels forced.I always come right back to"Black Messiah".
"I use to get reall high (on life) now I just get a buzz"
Makes me smile. My favorite song on the cd so far.
"R.I.P to that blunt... He dead"
rest in rhyme R.i.P
Action Bronson!
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ancient aliens
Already LOVING this! He took long enough. But...EXCELLENCE takes time. Worth the wait!
From Brown Sugar to Voodoo to THIS!
REAL MUSIC!!
Great CD, ALBUM...Very well done.
James Davis YEP! Been enjoying this for weeks!
Dont never forget the Questlove genius poured onto this and all other Soulquarian related artists and musicians 🏆
I dont think ive ever loved a song as much as this one here
Thank you for Giving US what we've been missing for the longest time! Peace & Blessings!
This gives me that George Clinton Parliament Funkadelic vibe!!!!!!!!!
Thank you MR. D'Angelo . Heart , Soul, Spirit, Free your Mind music is back. You are a Top Class Act. Finally I can listen to a cd front to back. Much love and respect to you. The tongue is a two edged... it can speak void, however it can speak words of wisdom and calm a soul. I will not say welcome back. You never left. Everything has a time and place. Your time is now. Best wishes. Hope R&B gets it right and recognizes your talent. This is REAL SOUL TRAIN!!!!!!
this album reminds me of Prince sign of the times
I still bump this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm Feeling that P-Funk Bridge
Best nu-soul album experience!
shabada shabada doo!
This neo-soul is really growing on me
Just what I've been MISSING in my life!!!
I remember getting Brown Sugar when i was 12. D'angelo's still putting it down all these years later
This was an album I'd listen when I was driving for Uber.
Back to the way it was... Playing with your friends till the street lights came on, just chillin, before you had to become for real deal grown.
Whole album is 🔥
You could not have said it any better! He's so true to his music, very hard to find artists like that!
Oh okay🕺🏽
Congrats on such a great album!
I can't stop listening to this.
This is a masterpiece!
I used to get real high.
Now I just get a buzz.
...I fucking FEEL that D'Angelo.
Fire. Guitar layering, Bass, Vocals

This is everything!
2020 anybody?!

Real Music again…… been waiting.
I'm feeling the tunes but I don't understand a word he is saying it's like a jazz album to me I'm still a fan tho
5th 22gg2 5gggwgwbwbeygdhsbdhnkxixuuhbfdhdhdhduxhduxuzbdbhe*i
Yeah I don't understand what he is saying unless I have words in front of me. Since he does not clearly enunciate, I have to search for the lyrics, so I can really understand his message.He mumbles. No enunciation.
Sounds like his inspiration is from Prince during the Paisley Park era.
Def
I LOVE YOU FOREVERRRRRR D'ANGELO!
I love this song
D'Angelo, could you please go back in time and tell everyone that the music industry is grave danger?
I been going through all my like videos play list on UA-cam and this comes on and I get lost in it like it was my 1st time again...
