    I don't know about y'all, but sometimes I feel the world took not just Amerie but the whole R&B genre for granted during this time. Sad we'll never get a golden era like this again. Hot beats, killer voices, dreamy settings & eye-catching wardrobe. Never be another period like the late 90s/early 2000s and it's sad...

    This video is like a time capsule of what things looked and felt like then. Everyone in their late 30s to early 40s now were just coming of age at this time. The air was sweeter, the sun was brighter, girls were more playful and innocent and boys were down to play with us… it just hit at the right time with the right generation. May our teenagers and young adults come to feel days like this… for real. ❤️

    So much LIFE and SOUL and COLOR in this video. The 90s & Early 2000s was the Golden/Silver age when the realms were touched by the Heavens(God). Life had a different Vibe to it back then and felt like you were in another Dimension like Heaven on Earth. Kids use to play outside, the Economy was good, no one hung out on social network sites, relationships were real, friends were real. People knew how to live. Now we live in the Dark Age.

    Cheer up y'all, spend time with the younger generation and show them the beauty of this era of music. Show them how to dance not like a robot and actually have freedom. Knowing now what we did not realize then should give us an incentive to share this music. Most of us are too proud to put these songs on in front of younger folks but they often get something from this as well, perhaps that feeling of butterflies or goosebumps when hearing these songs much like us. The days may be steadily getting difficult, but the Lord has it in his hands. May the Lord continue to bless us in spirit and truth.
