BET thought so, since they refused to play this sing on their channel cuz it didn't fit into popular black music at the timel, I remember her mentioning that in an interview
@@rodonis88 I agree. The timing was just right. She was just poorly promoted & supported by her own community & unfortunately, I feel that she would not be supported if she had debuted during this period of time in 2019. I'm so joyful to have grown up listening to real music like this.
That bridge at 2:10 will be a riff that is forever burned in my memory core. Goosebumps every time. The vocal harmonies are immaculate. Dionne is one of my favorite 90’s artists.
Agree completely - when they hit that bridge it's like the best physical therapy with goosebumps up and down my spine. This record was done old school with alot of work perfecting those harmonies and layering in the studio. An absolute masterpiece. One of my 10 favorite records of the 90s-easily.
I need you to understand the absolute chokehold this song had on me-a 16 year old white girl in Kentucky. This was such an absolute banger masterpiece. It still gives me chills listening to it 30 years later. That slide guitar is 🤌🏻✨✨✨✨✨ and her voice is so powerful.
Same here! Same age when it came out. I think I first heard it on the radio at basically my first job. Heard it today at a Fred Meyer while shopping and it took me right back. I hadn’t heard it in sooo long!
Seriously?! This one?! Not Even 2 Princes by Spin Doctors ?? That's gotta make your top 5 at least. They STILL play that damn song on all the adult cont. on the radio lolol at least 3-4 times a week. But not this one fortunately
Zap Brannigan ; I believe that this type of music could be brought back but you have to have the right push in music. Plus more poetry needs to be pushed
Na man. 90s kid here and at the time never thought much of the song. FF 20 years later started humming this the other day and thought, I should listen to it since I cant get it out of my head. Its been on repeat for the last 3 days...
I love plenty of current music but this song is like a breeze from the past that just takes your breath away. So beautiful. I played it for my 3 year-old daughter today and she loved it.
Heard this in Walmart yesterday. It immediately put me in a better mood. Later when I was driving home, I got sad because I realized how old I'm getting when a song from earlier in my adulthood is now old enought to be played in stores.😂
On the classic hits music station in Walmart no less! I'm right there with you. I'll hear a jam from my early twenties and think "damn, am I really that old for this song to be considered classic?"
@@JohnWayne-ou1wv they play Foolish by Ashanti at the stores now 😔😭😂 I’m only 27 and I swear like 4 weeks ago, that song JUST dropped and I was wearing khaki capri pants with a cami.
I fucking luv nostalgia!!!!!! Im 36 and this is one of the hundreds of songs that gives me that good nostalgia feeling that i cant explain to people sometimes.
Absolutely--I’m 36 as well the- air-the atmosphere changes when the harmony starts at 2:20--it takes you to a different place...a place of unreal memories and just...that amazing 90’s feeling-that sadly can never be replicated-and you’re right-can’t be described-we are fortunate to have been there-long live the 90’s !❤️
Where have all the great black pop artists gone today? There were so many incredibly talented black artists that contributed to pop music culture in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Pop music is dominated today by hip hop and a few pop artists. I feel strongly that pop music from the 60's through the 90's brought us together of all ages and races and created a common connection. I see this video and think, is the lack of pop music part of the reason we are so divided today?
Forgot about this great song until I heard it on New York Undercover(aka best cop drama aka most underrated cop tv show of all times!) reruns the other day. If you’ve forgotten all the 90’s hits just watch that show, and sit back and relaaaaaaaax.......
Wiki says 10 weeks and was the billboards most successful song of 1995. Who knew? I remember the melody and sound but didn’t remember the artist or title
African American ax-men never really used slide guitar much for their rock, funk, dance/club tunes, but Dionne's session guys sure knew how to leverage that kind of guitar. It was twangy, angry, distorted/overdriven treble, and mellow at the same time. Kudos.... to those dudes.
This is such a great song. I was 11 when this came out, and I remember making my parents BLAST this on the radio whenever it came on. The bridge she sings with Leesa Richards (starts at 2:10) was kind of a mind-blowing musical moment for me when I was a kid, the whole major/minor harmony key changes and all of that, plus the slide guitar, killer bass hook, great drumming...the whole thing still hits hard even in 2023. A timeless song from a great artist.
the harmony starting at 2.20-2.45 , I always go into a daydream state remembering being 15 years old. watching this video on mtv almost everyday, I get this same sensation every time to this day, I LOVE THIS SONG

Ugh, not so much. Bad decade for movies, music, art....Madonna era long over by this time...and too many one-hit-wonders. Too many millennial population borne....etc.
Season 2 Episode 8 of New York Undercover on Prime brought me here...can't believe I forgot about this!!! As soon as I heard it, it brought me right back to my childhood.
A sensational talent has emerged from Arrested Development and her name is Dionne Farris. This song came out when I was in Germany around January 1995.
I was standing outside a store today, and they had this song pumping out to the masses, and my mind exploded as I realized I hadn't heard it in quite a few years. I'm in my 50s and I loved this song when it came out. Great song, beautiful voice. Dionne, come back!
Make that times 3... I was in home depot and heard this, and it made me stop in my tracks. I was as floored now as I was then. Thats the power timeless music has.Wish she did more.
I have loved Dionne Farris since her Arrested Development days! She always was a stand out to me! Her vocal prowess is absolutely incredible! The sister can sing her ass off! Please record Dionne, we miss you! 😄😃😃
There was a time when music took a break from violence, sex and despair. And during this time these bands emerged to brings us GREAT MEMORIES. Salut to all my 80s and 90s brothers and sisters. GOOD EVENING PASADENA!!!!!
Indeed. During the early to mid 90s there was a surge of quasi-independent and very talented acid-jazz and nu-soul artists that were releasing high quality and memorable music. 🎧
Same thing just happened to me with Would I Lie to You by Charles and Eddie. My effing 18 year old self came flying up from the past to sing it full force in the Rowe's IGA supermarket like I was possessed.
@shelliereumann2617 oh maaan that is so funny!! I have the most hilarious scenes playing in my head now....would you do the piano runs over boxes of croutons or packages of blueberries?! 😅
Dionne Farris is one of those ones who fall in the category of underrrated - someone mentioned she was before her time and I agree. If she debuted right now, she'd be near the top but as it stands, I'm glad she came out when she did. Some of her songs bring back some really great memories, especially Hopeless.
Who was having more fun than these guys during this jam session? :) Dionne, Alanis and Sophie B. Hawkins were the gorgeous, natural, boot-rocking idols for us girls who were tomboys back in the day when their music was released. Such good memories.
I was married to my now ex husband and pregnant with my daughter when this song came out. First time I saw the video I remember thinking what am I doing...Im gay. 😂😂
I can remember herring Dionne Farris “I Know” on radio and seeing this music video on VH1 and MTV back in 1995 I grew up just on the Baltimore City line in Baltimore County Pikesville MD and I was in my jr year college when Dionne Farris came out with this hit, I was either 20 or going on 21 in 95 I just don’t remember what time of year this was released, a lot of r&b, love songs came out around the same time, (Boys II Men, All4one, Toni Braxton, Ace of Base) all good singers and bands back then, I still listen to a lot of love songs, 80s & early 90s r&b, even back to the mid 1970’s when I was a kid growing up theses songs and artists were apart of my life, got me through many long nights and lonely days back then, between B102.7 and Mix106.5 in Baltimore were my go to station back then, my kids and even my granddaughters today look at me funny when theses hits come on radio or any of the music video stations on tv thanks to whoever put this one up a lot of us still listen to this day this was when music was real at lease in my opinion 🥰 🫡 🙏
They looked like they were having so much fun in this video this song is a Classic it warms the soul. You could blast this in your car a dance like a fool Lol
Listening to this song as a 40yr old, this song has a whole different meaning. I was 15 when this came out and didn't understand the weight of it. I love you Dionne!
this is THE 90S song for me. Whenever I think back to that overall feeling of back then when I was a kid, living in my hometown - it's THIS song that brings back that entire feeling immediately.
I have always had MAD RESPECT for any black FEMALE music artists like this who think OUTSIDE the box and SHOW the black community we CAN do MORE than just the typical R & B and rap! The sad thing....these record companies act like they DON'T know what genre to put us in AND the promotion for artists like your Dionnes', your Corinne R. Baileys', your Ledisis', your Andra Days, etc... are SEVERELY lacking and if you think about it, doesn't make sense! The interest IS there....the support is NOT! We need to somehow start bombarding these companies with comments like ''hey, how come this person isn't promoted on THIS radio station?''
Blues: Bobby Johnson Rock & Roll: Sister Rosetta Thorpe Country music derived from Afican slaves. We MUST Gate Keep unapologetically. Becaus We're being erased. Culture Vultures benefit more than we do
When this song hit, I was a manager at The Gap. We had to listen to that damned "Muzak", customized, trendy music for marketing, playing over and over and over...even great songs would wind up making everyone sick of hearing them. But THIS SONG we never got tired of- ever! It always lifted everyone up, we'd sing along, sneak a little dance in between the racks of clothing. I still love it! What a voice! What a band! Dionne is just fierce ❤

🔥❤️🔥Yes indeed✊🏾
This sounds more like dance mixed with country rock and a little hint of Stewart Copland then alternative rock after all she is from Tennessee
Yep she carved her own path.. her own rules.. knocked em all down
This song is so cool. An all black rock band is pretty awesome as well.
I have always loved her and Tracy Chapman and thought if they ever collaborated it would be epic! Probably be the genesis of a new genre
From arrested development to being a great solo artist. 2 different genres and killed both. She deserved more.
Fun fact. Dionne and arrested development were signed to the same management company that's how she ended up being apart of the group.
More to come ❤🎉
It's 2023 , timeless music🥰 🎶 ❤️

She finally hit a mill on youtube. Go Dionne. Well deserved. This song is still fire 25 years later. And people finally realized it.
I've listen to it practically every day in 2022. I was thinking of Hopeless one day and wondered what she's been doing...

we always knew it what you mean finally realized lol
What do you expect? This is awesome music!!

There was a time when music took a break from violence, sex and despair. And during this time these bands emerged to brings us GREAT MEMORIES. Salut to all my 80s and 90s brothers and sisters.
GOOD EVENING PASADENA!!!!!
Indeed. During the early to mid 90s there was a surge of quasi-independent and very talented acid-jazz and nu-soul artists that were releasing high quality and memorable music. 🎧
@@andrewilson7538 thank you for your comment
so well said … oh those rich chords, transitions, bridge, fine piece of magic.
Yes this was a great time in the 90s my childhood right here
This made my heart smile 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
I just heard this in a grocery store and remembered this was my favourite song for a long time as a kid!! LOVE this!! ❤
I heard this in Walmart just now, and here I am 😅
Same thing just happened to me with Would I Lie to You by Charles and Eddie. My effing 18 year old self came flying up from the past to sing it full force in the Rowe's IGA supermarket like I was possessed.
@shelliereumann2617 oh maaan that is so funny!! I have the most hilarious scenes playing in my head now....would you do the piano runs over boxes of croutons or packages of blueberries?! 😅
@@marvanbee lol!! It would have been Oreo cookies for the black and white keys! 😋...and they're delicious for a post concert snack. 😂
So did I!
Dionne Farris is one of those ones who fall in the category of underrrated - someone mentioned she was before her time and I agree. If she debuted right now, she'd be near the top but as it stands, I'm glad she came out when she did. Some of her songs bring back some really great memories, especially Hopeless.
That bridge showed the industry that she was seriously slept on. Her vocal range? Solid as hell!! Loved her since Arrested Development!
Such a cool song. Great voice and talent!!!
Who was having more fun than these guys during this jam session? :) Dionne, Alanis and Sophie B. Hawkins were the gorgeous, natural, boot-rocking idols for us girls who were tomboys back in the day when their music was released. Such good memories.
Who would have thought that violins and her singing could sound so beautiful together?!
She a very good singer.... And so underrated. And now her daughter sings rap. Her daughter is now on Hip hop Atlanta. Amazing voices 😍
She has an adult kid? If that doesn't make me old Idk what does.
@@KarlaHolland right 😆
i agree
Fun fact: Alice in Chain's current frontman, William DuVall, co-wrote this song.
I was married to my now ex husband and pregnant with my daughter when this song came out. First time I saw the video I remember thinking what am I doing...Im gay. 😂😂
Right there with you right now. Sometimes you just gotta be brave. You were.I am. ❤ I am inspired.
The harmonizing at the end always gives me goosebumps
The moment all the vocals n instruments rest for a good beat in unison then starts up is definition of a solid band.
I can remember herring Dionne Farris “I Know” on radio and seeing this music video on VH1 and MTV back in 1995 I grew up just on the Baltimore City line in Baltimore County Pikesville MD and I was in my jr year college when Dionne Farris came out with this hit, I was either 20 or going on 21 in 95 I just don’t remember what time of year this was released, a lot of r&b, love songs came out around the same time, (Boys II Men, All4one, Toni Braxton, Ace of Base) all good singers and bands back then, I still listen to a lot of love songs, 80s & early 90s r&b, even back to the mid 1970’s when I was a kid growing up theses songs and artists were apart of my life, got me through many long nights and lonely days back then, between B102.7 and Mix106.5 in Baltimore were my go to station back then, my kids and even my granddaughters today look at me funny when theses hits come on radio or any of the music video stations on tv thanks to whoever put this one up a lot of us still listen to this day this was when music was real at lease in my opinion 🥰 🫡 🙏
Always loved you dear Dionne Faris❤❤❤
I'm surprised she wasn't a big star this girl had it all
They looked like they were having so much fun in this video this song is a Classic it warms the soul. You could blast this in your car a dance like a fool Lol
Dionne took this gem all the way to #4 in May 1995. Thanks for postin!!
And it went to #1 on Radio 'n Records in '95
Yes I remember that! Video was always playing on vh1 and mtv
It came out in my senior year of high school
Should have been no. 1
Her biggest hit
Listening to this song as a 40yr old, this song has a whole different meaning. I was 15 when this came out and didn't understand the weight of it. I love you Dionne!
Yes! Same!! It blew my mind back then and does even more so now 😮
I remember when they used to play this on MTV
She shouldve been a much bigger star! Great voice, great look, great sound. Love it!
That funky drum beat, that slide guitar and that warm toned bass! So amazing!!!
I went rollerblading rocking this track on my Bluetooth speaker. Blading like it’s 1994.
I loved this song in the 90’s. I thought she was/is gorgeous. I think I even had a little crush on her.
I STILL have a crush on her!
Absolute classic!
I woke up with this song in my head after not hearing for years and years! I’m glad I️ did because I️ really forgot what a killer song this is.
Same. I didn't know who it was but I remember it being a jam!
Same here! Weird
me too!
Jeff Panetta heyyy same 😂
Same thing happened to me today!
She gives me Life! Thank you, Lord, for the blessing of her voice. She comforts.❤
the bridge still gives me chills like it did when I was a little girl
Totally agree.
The way her voice SOARS...
...golden.
this is THE 90S song for me. Whenever I think back to that overall feeling of back then when I was a kid, living in my hometown - it's THIS song that brings back that entire feeling immediately.
I have always had MAD RESPECT for any black FEMALE music artists like this who think OUTSIDE the box and SHOW the black community we CAN do MORE than just the typical R & B and rap!
The sad thing....these record companies act like they DON'T know what genre to put us in AND the promotion for artists like your Dionnes', your Corinne R. Baileys', your Ledisis', your Andra Days, etc... are SEVERELY lacking and if you think about it, doesn't make sense!
The interest IS there....the support is NOT! We need to somehow start bombarding these companies with comments like ''hey, how come this person isn't promoted on THIS radio station?''
Well we did create every popular music genere, it's more like we forgot❤🎉 🎶 😊
Blues: Bobby Johnson
Rock & Roll: Sister Rosetta Thorpe
Country music derived from Afican slaves. We MUST Gate Keep unapologetically. Becaus We're being erased. Culture Vultures benefit more than we do
When this song hit, I was a manager at The Gap. We had to listen to that damned "Muzak", customized, trendy music for marketing, playing over and over and over...even great songs would wind up making everyone sick of hearing them. But THIS SONG we never got tired of- ever! It always lifted everyone up, we'd sing along, sneak a little dance in between the racks of clothing. I still love it! What a voice! What a band! Dionne is just fierce ❤
❤️❤️❤️
The Gap? What's that!!😅
Once again, thanks New York Undercover for reminding me of another classic 👍🏾
This song still kicks ass in 2020. So uncatagorizable, fresh, and so 90s! I miss the 90s. This song still gives me great feels all these years later.
Does using Generation Clueless terminology make you feel relevant?
@@josephkingsford8480 does leaving snarky comments on UA-cam make you feel empowered?
Top 5 artist in my Spotify wrapped in 2024. 😊
Apple Music popped this up randomly on my Saturday morning. Absolute BANGER smash hit!!! I miss the 90's!
Brings back memories of the 90’s… Just heard this song watching NY Undercover… lol
