The song is actually about God. Love is God. If you pay close attention to the lyrics, you will see that it’s about God. “Love some people use your name in vain”, and those who have faith in you sometimes go astray are examples.
Yeah, I heard that this song was about God and he was supposed to come out as a Christian artist but they changed the lyrics to Love because they thought he’d be more successful going another route
I was born and raised in NYC and I’ve always had the upmost respect for these Artists from Philly . Musiq Soulchild , Jill Scott , Black Thought and The Roots etc . Just to name a few . Some of the most talented artists have come from philly !
I sung this song at a talent show a few years ago, and won 1st place. What more can you say about Musiq he is a one of a kind talent. “Love” was initially written as a love song to God.
Btw...from my point of view, I see this song as a love song written to God, who is love. You can really hear it when you listen to and break down the lyrics. It is without a doubt a very special and meaningful song. ❤️
I bought tickets to his concert for Valentines Day... we had a blizzard in Philly and the concert wasn’t cancelled but we were living in Wilmington, DE at the time and couldn’t go!! #PISSED🤬🤪🤣 I forget the year but it was roughly 10yrs ago. My husband still owes me a concert!!!
This is my favorite Musiq song ❤. Lyrically and sonically its just so profound and I had it on repeat when it dropped. Can you do "Just Friends" by him?
Fun fact! This actually was a gospel song that he wrote at first and then they made him change it ! But biblically speaking “love” actually means the laws of The Most High. So technically it’s still a spiritual hymns ✨🤗
Thank you for putting your videos in order with the artist. THANKS A MILLION. I've been listening to reactors who listen to some of my favorite older songs. By far my favorite. Keep up the good work.
What I love about this song is that it can be interpreted any kind of way. It doesn't mention romantic love at all. That's why in the video you see all different types of relationships. I even heard somewhere that this song is about God and if that is true that would even fit perfectly. This is one of my favorites from him.
You hit the jackpot with this one. Saw him in concert and I teared up when he hit that high note. Went even higher than that at the concert! Fun fact: replace “love” with “Lord” and it all makes even more sense. Also, this was Grammy nominated the year it came out. And LOST to something incomparable...smh
Finally!! lol ive been requesting this song for 6 plus months thanks you for the kind of shout out too lol i knew you would feel this song i listen to this song at least once a week i feel like its something the world needs these days
I knew exactly who he was referring to. I love this song as well. Some of the best artists get overlooked like Musiq, Bilal, Angie Stone, Haitus Kayoti. These get missed by the masses.
The original song is called Lord but they switched it up for radio. Both beautiful. I sang this to my daddy while he was dying. So of course I’m bawling. Thank you for reacting to this.
This Song hits different with Adult eyes and ears. It's the epitome of True Artistry, because It can be a love song to Love Itself, a parent to a child, a child to a parent, a romantic partner, a Lifelong Friend. MS was on some Genius Ilk, with this Masterpiece.
Great reaction that’s one of Musiq Soulchild best songs really shows off his vocals. Another song of his is “Yes” it has a really great message.Take a listen to this neo-soul artist Glenn Lewis “ Don’t You Forget It” his voice sounds similar to Stevie Wonder. Also these neo-soul groups Lucy Pearl” Dance Tonight” and the group Koffee Brown “ After Party”. Thanks
What's so awesome about this song is as the saying goes "God is Love" so when you substitute the word "Love" with "God" in the lyrics it is so profound🙏🏽🙏🏽
He's not talking about a person per say...HE'S REALLY TALKING ABOUT LOVE. THE FEELING IT GIVES, THE. BEAUTY OF IT, THE JOY IT BRINGS INTO YOUR LIFE WHEN ITS REAL AND TRUE.
Jack congrats on 40K! You should react to some UK R&B artists like Elle mai and Mahalia. Here are some Ideas for songs Elle Mai: Trip & Boo’d up Mahalia: Simmer & I Wish I Missed my Ex And they have a song together called: What you did
Yeeeees!!!!☆☆♡♡♡ THIS song - this artist! Omg - so spiritual. I understand originally "Love" was supposed to be "God". When you listen again you'll realize. #goosepimples
Love the intro! Btw, I’m so happy you finally got to Musiq Soulchild. His ad libs are otherworldly. Definitely another underrated artist just like Brandy and Brian McKnight.
Other tracks to check out : Just friends, Half Crazy, Stop playin, If I would know ,L is gone, Settle for my love ( a Patrice Rushen cover).Other singers to look at : Avant and Keke Wyatt My first love, Aaron Hall and Faith Evans If you see me now.
He’s actually singing a love song to Love, not a particular person, but the emotion.
The song is actually about God. Love is God. If you pay close attention to the lyrics, you will see that it’s about God. “Love some people use your name in vain”, and those who have faith in you sometimes go astray are examples.
Yeah, I heard that this song was about God and he was supposed to come out as a Christian artist but they changed the lyrics to Love because they thought he’d be more successful going another route
Idk how true it is but I remember hearing he was originally supposed to be saying lord but then changed it to love.
@@carriel9954
Interesting. I thought he was just using a lot of wordplay.
Michelle I thought the same thing when I first heard it. God actually makes more sense if you really listen to the lyrics.
Underappreciated Neo-soul artist. Gotta react to "Halfcrazy" by Musiq.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeease!!!
Check out "Yes", "Forethenight" and so beautiful
That’s my favorite song from him
Yes, please!!
Yes please! Halfcrazy is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This beautiful song was originally written about “God”, but was changed to “Love” to appeal to the mainstream. Still a beautiful song years later
Is the same thing God is love, love is God
Wow I did not know this. It makes the lyrics make more sense now that I know.
@@oiat LOVE applies to the lyrics as well though.
Don’t forget that the Contemporary gospel group Trinitee 5:7 did the gospel version of this. They replaced the word love with Lord. 💜
@@hiddenflower862 i was about to comment this and saw your comment. Love that version.❤
I see we've got some Musiq Soulchild fans up in here! Ayeeeee! He is SUCH a treasure and very underrated 🔥🔥🔥
Ayeee. We always represent!
Y'all know it 🥰
Yes a national treasure for sure loooove his amazing music 🎵⚡️⚡️💛
Musiq 🔥 i remember my mom played this cd all the time now it’s one of my favs
I highly recommend "Just Friends (Sunny)" by him, it's a fun song to react to!
Just friends, halfcrazy, teach me & previouscats need to be reached to also by musiq!! (also can we talk about this new intro it’s a whole mood)
“Missing You” - Case!
Bruh! I see you appreciatin’ that pure 90’s soul, so you can’t go wrong with that one!
This is a a beautiful, heart warming song. Love the message it sends.
I was born and raised in NYC and I’ve always had the upmost respect for these Artists from Philly . Musiq Soulchild , Jill Scott , Black Thought and The Roots etc . Just to name a few . Some of the most talented artists have come from philly !
FACTS ✊🏾

Your level of maturity must freak your mother out and make her so proud of you. Shout out to mom from me!
"This feels like a home cooked meal....filling you up." My, man! Yes!!!
Another song by Musiq to react to is So Beautiful,
I sung this song at a talent show a few years ago, and won 1st place. What more can you say about Musiq he is a one of a kind talent. “Love” was initially written as a love song to God.
This generation doesn't have good quality artists like this
Btw...from my point of view, I see this song as a love song written to God, who is love. You can really hear it when you listen to and break down the lyrics. It is without a doubt a very special and meaningful song. ❤️
He originally had God in the lyrics. Great interpretation of the sing! ♥️♥️♥️
Clicked like before even viewing I knew you would realize how classic this song is.
my best part is when he hit that high note omg bruh.
This song highlights the MANY expressions of “Love” It’s very beautiful indeed.
Musiq Soulchild- so beautiful
Musiq Soulchild- half krazy
Musiq Soulchild- teach me
Musiq Soulchild- who knows
Definitely teach me ‼️
143 and all those you picked
Who Knows is my favorite song 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Musiq Soulchild ft. Mary J Blige ifuleave ❤️ bomtastic
Just friends by musiq is a must!!
Hey Jack! Luv the Intro
The Talented Musiq is from My Hometown Philly!
The Lyrics are Just Beautiful and Relevant!💯 FACTS😉😘💕
Thanks for the Review 👍👏
I bought tickets to his concert for Valentines Day... we had a blizzard in Philly and the concert wasn’t cancelled but we were living in Wilmington, DE at the time and couldn’t go!! #PISSED🤬🤪🤣 I forget the year but it was roughly 10yrs ago. My husband still owes me a concert!!!
I LOVE the intro!
And I LOOOOVVVE Musiq. He is one of my all time FAVORITE male singers and , songwriters
I played this song on repeat many many hours I would tell myself this is the last time it never was😂😂😂😂
This is my favorite Musiq song ❤. Lyrically and sonically its just so profound and I had it on repeat when it dropped. Can you do "Just Friends" by him?
I thought the song was about his relationship with God.
@@carriel9954 I am pretty sure you are correct but I don't know if most people know that. In my opinion it adds to the beauty of song.
If you replace the word "Love" with "Lord", this is a gospel song.
Yes it is. I also love his song Time, where he's singing to Time the same way
It originally was Lord, the label made him change it
Fun fact! This actually was a gospel song that he wrote at first and then they made him change it ! But biblically speaking “love” actually means the laws of The Most High. So technically it’s still a spiritual hymns ✨🤗
This song vibrates in my heart and soul every time I hear it! Love is love is love
I had to grow into fully understanding the meaning of this song. I always loved it - but when I finally GOT it? Whew.
Literally my fav Musiq song 🎵 🖤🖤.
My God one of thee best songs ever made period....
Musiq “Mary Go Round” ..a BOP
Perfect description: This song feels like warm, home cooked meal. So filling 🥰
Thank you for putting your videos in order with the artist. THANKS A MILLION. I've been listening to reactors who listen to some of my favorite older songs. By far my favorite. Keep up the good work.
Timeless classic, just as special as the day the album dropped! 😭 he’s needs more flowers 💐
One of my favorite artists of all time! Jack this intro is everything!!! ❤️
Music that feeds your soul! Beautiful ballad my favorite growing up! I'm so grateful to have experienced this music growing up! 🥰🥰
Musiq - So Beautiful 🥰
(great falsetto on this one)
I'm here for every last one of these musiq soul child request 💃🏽
Half Crazy is another great song too may I suggest Dru Hill Beauty, These are the Times, or Jagged Edge Promise
Ugh I loveeee this song❤️
What I love about this song is that it can be interpreted any kind of way. It doesn't mention romantic love at all. That's why in the video you see all different types of relationships. I even heard somewhere that this song is about God and if that is true that would even fit perfectly. This is one of my favorites from him.
I remember being in high school when this came out and hearing this song for the first time and absolutely melting. It still. Gah. ♥️
Check out Aaron Hall “I MissYou”💯💯💯😭
@Gigi Raven Same here!!! Idc how many times i’ve seen it... i’m ballin😢😭
Omg that's a sad song. 😭😭
Yesss yesss YESSSS
You should also react to ''143'' and ''Half Crazy'' by Musiq Soulchild
You hit the jackpot with this one. Saw him in concert and I teared up when he hit that high note. Went even higher than that at the concert!
Fun fact: replace “love” with “Lord” and it all makes even more sense. Also, this was Grammy nominated the year it came out. And LOST to something incomparable...smh
Gotta do his best song "Teach Me"🔥 Musiq made plenty fire tracks in those early 00's into the mid 00's. Good times back then🙌🏾😩
I wish I could go back to when I first heard this song....I was blown away with it when I was teen
Finally!! lol ive been requesting this song for 6 plus months thanks you for the kind of shout out too lol i knew you would feel this song i listen to this song at least once a week i feel like its something the world needs these days
I'M HAPPY FOR YOU!!! FINALLY😁😁😁!! I celebrate your patience!!!
@@cathyreed6723 lol thanks you were there early helping me not feel so crazy y for asking everyday
@@matthewgraham3330 Thank you for the nice words!
I knew exactly who he was referring to. I love this song as well. Some of the best artists get overlooked like Musiq, Bilal, Angie Stone, Haitus Kayoti. These get missed by the masses.
Love overdue is correct. I did a double take when I saw you were finally checking this out.
Great song. Underappreciated artist.
Beautiful performance of a deeply beautiful song.
I would love to see Musiq Soulchild perform live!!❤️❤️🎤 His music is sooo smooth!!
💕🌟💕LOVE THA Intro !!!💕🌟💕
I Love Musiq!!! Pls. do more Musiq.
Neo-Soul Forever!! 💞
Such a beautiful and thoughtful song. Truly 🎤 💖
Yay!!! You said near future! " Half Crazy" and " Mary Go Round" Musiq Soulchild
The original song is called Lord but they switched it up for radio. Both beautiful. I sang this to my daddy while he was dying. So of course I’m bawling. Thank you for reacting to this.
So glad you checking out Musiq. He's my favorite along with Donnell Jones and Brian McKnight.
The emotions behind this is🔥🔥🔥🔥 man this is still the jam
React to:
Goapele- "Closer"
Keyshia Cole ft Missy- "Let it go"
Color me badd- "Adore mi Amor"
Even with the lyrics changed to LOVE you can still feel the gospel vibes. That's probably why it feels like a home cooked meal ☺️
This Song hits different with Adult eyes and ears. It's the epitome of True Artistry, because It can be a love song to Love Itself, a parent to a child, a child to a parent, a romantic partner, a Lifelong Friend. MS was on some Genius Ilk, with this Masterpiece.
That intro 🤣👏🏽

Musiq Soulchild- Forthenight
Eric Benet- Spend My Life With You
🔥🔥🔥
You’ve got to bring back this intro lol. People are gonna remember you every time they see it
Your intro gets me every time it’s so cute
Such a deep song. Truly about real love; the for better or worse kind.
Jack you are So Mature For Your Age. You Must been Surrounded By Amazing people and family And the Greatest Music on earth 🌎
I remember when this one dropped, it hit so hard in Philly.
What's so awesome about this song is as the saying goes "God is Love" so when you substitute the word "Love" with "God" in the lyrics it is so profound🙏🏽🙏🏽
One of my fav songs EVER!!
He's not talking about a person per say...HE'S REALLY TALKING ABOUT LOVE. THE FEELING IT GIVES, THE. BEAUTY OF IT, THE JOY IT BRINGS INTO YOUR LIFE WHEN ITS REAL AND TRUE.
Please react to: girl next door by musiq soulchild
This is one of my favs. Nice reaction.
Jack congrats on 40K! You should react to some UK R&B artists like Elle mai and Mahalia.
Here are some Ideas for songs
Elle Mai: Trip & Boo’d up
Mahalia: Simmer & I Wish I Missed my Ex
And they have a song together called: What you did
One of my favorite songs of all time
You too smooth on that intro Jack 😂
Great reaction! Could I recommend " Giving Him Something He Can Feel" by En Vogue? The music video is cool. Thanks!
He's singing to Love as a living entity. He's got another song called Time where he's singing to Time the same way. Great song as well
Yeeeees!!!!☆☆♡♡♡ THIS song - this artist! Omg - so spiritual. I understand originally "Love" was supposed to be "God". When you listen again you'll realize. #goosepimples
Wow what a beautiful song as well as the imagery 💕 💕
One Of My Favorite Male Singer!
That Intro 🔥🔥🔥
Musiq Soulchild is a complete treasure, Who Knows, Betterman Ms. Philladelphia, are you kidding me he is a lyrical master
That intro though 🎼🔥❤️
I ADORE Musiq’s music.
You love the falsetto you gotta react to his song So Beautiful!!! 🤞🏽
Another incredible artist from Philly!
I can bet you when the original song was written it said “Lord” very obvious this is a subliminal gospel song love it
This song is one of my favourites. Very spiritual.
Love the intro! Btw, I’m so happy you finally got to Musiq Soulchild. His ad libs are otherworldly. Definitely another underrated artist just like Brandy and Brian McKnight.
Classic soul at its finest ✌🏾
🥵🥵🤪one of the first ones here Jack I love youuu I swear😭😭 keep doing what you’re doing plzzz
Speaking of being a better man like you said in the video. Soulchild has a song called better man that’s super dope.
He is a great visit for R nB. I always picked up his albums.
Yesss Musiq 🥰 I was waiting for you to react to some Musiq Jack. He's an awesome artist 😊 great reaction
This song is true poetry.
