Lyrics:
There's only so many songs that I can sing to pass the time.
And I'm running out of things to do to get you off my mind (oh whoa).
All I have is this picture in a frame (oh ah),
that I hold close to see your face everyday.
With you is where I'd rather be,
but we're stuck where we are.
It's so hard, you're so far..
This 5 Miles To Empty is killing me.
I wish that you are here with me,
but we're stuck where we are
it's so hard, you're so far..
This 5 Miles To Empty is killing me.
It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are, you're so far.
This 5 Miles To Empty is killing me.
It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are, you're so far
(so hard, so hard, where we are, where we are, your so far).
This 5 Miles To Empty is killing me.
90s rnb videos hit different 👍
This SONG!!!! How many years later, and the POWER is like 💥❤ 💥❤ 💥 ❤
Rest in peace Maxi. She was my favorite member of Brownstone. In my opinion, she quietly had the most beautiful voice in the group.
They sounded like a whole choir !!! 🔥
Damn skippy
I was literally just about to type that and I see that as the first comment 😄
Michael knew vocalists when he heard them!! 🫡
Indeed 😅❤❤❤❤
Facts... ❤
It's nothing like the 90s R&B! Those were the days! Who's still listening in 2024!
Me
Yesss I agree best music
@@Zennie371 -- yes, I’m still loving & listening to the 90s too!
Can't make em understand that Gen X just hits different.
They ain't like us, so they hate.
You know what! You can say it again.
Sound like you listening to gospel & R&B all at the same time!!!🙌🏾
After all of these years, this song still hits hard.
One of the best songs done by a 90s female outfit.Brownstone nailed it here.The whole arrangement of this song is insane.
They nailed that entire album. I still play it…
💯💯

only people who don't are these new young clowns
Kupidzheart careful now I am a 90s baby and some us "young clowns" love this type of music and understand it clearly I know I do I have a old soul and I listen to stuff mostly from the 60s to like 2007 or 08 music
Chris Sullins i feel you my dude i miss the 90's every day i wake. These kids today don't have any idea what living free is with the way technology changed everything and it's sad to see it knowing our generation grew up in a better time
Surpasses “if you love me” as their best song
This whole album was fire. They got overlooked, there was a lot of talented R&B female singer/groups in the 90’s
R&B missed the boat with this one. Phenomenal artistry.
Sounding like a darn choir!!! Absolutely beautiful.
All them damnn vocals so on. Point yess so beautiful, powerful.
The vocals are stacked
Yessss
I was thinking the exact same! Lol. Lovely song 🎵
Yes. The song is heavily produced. It sounds like they put Nicci in the back of the room and she yelling her part of the harmony and is the loudest. And that's a compliment. She was really the standout. Her voice was strong, powerful and heavy.
The only girl group with only three (3) members that sounds like the entire Brooklyn Tabernacle choir damn!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is exactly why I love this song 🤣
For me, personally, when it comes to vocals -- it goes:
#1 *En Vogue*
#2 *Brownstone*
#3 *Jade*
@@iampauseI’d put brownstone over en vogue in the vocals section
You must be out of your damn mind!!!!🙄 EVERY member of En Vogue could sing and weren't background singers like this group!!🙄@@garyjoyner1283
Facts
Them vocals are insane. Talent like this don't exist anymore, these girls actually opens their mouths and sing.
Yes lol.
It does exist they just don't get chose. The mainstream be on that bs
don't you mean "SANG" LoL
Phyllis Dee. fgf
The way they recorded their background vocals were INSANE!
RIP Maxee! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
What happened to maxee
My favorite Brownstone song
My Gawd ...they vocals are flawless... That hook doe..
This group sound is off the hook.
YASSSSSSS !
Yesss , one of my favorites 🥰♥️🙏🏾
Hurry hurry quick quick
Max’s voice was so unique. Beautiful. Rest easy angel.
Higher realm of music.
WHO'S GOING INTO 2020 LISTENING TO THIS INSANE TRACK? SOUNDS JUST AS GOOD AS IT DID IN '97...DAMN...
💕
I am 👌🏾👌🏾
Yes in deed!
For some reason I thought this song came out in the early 90s.
Just realizing that SHIT , IM GETTING OLD!!!!! 90s were so so sweet!!! Love it!!
I used to love the way they sounded on that chorus. They sound like a full choir. R.I.P. Charmayne.
Isnt that something how it always sounded like more than 3 people. Wow.
Yes
I used to say the same thing I was like here is that choir group again, lol
Hi.LaCheleWallace...which one of these women died & the cause? I saw them a long time ago & they were the TRUTH! Thanks.
rickames Hi. Maxee.
That “ hurry, hurry, quick, quick” takes me all the way there!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Me too!!!!!!!!!
You think this gives you chills? Go search : Quiet Storm 1997 WBLS , this is the fourth or third track, it’s playing while you see arises views of NYC in 1997 (with Twin Towers) ..chillls bro
Everytime
Yes!!!❤❤❤❤
It's the fiiiiive-miiiles till eeeeempty for me
Growing up I heard my mum play this song loads and only realised the lyrics when I was grown....now I'm here in my 40s healing from love and listening to it❤️🩹 RIP MUM
Bless up.
🙏🏽
Yesssss!!!
She's in a better place. Plz keep your heads up. GOD BLESS YOU 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ✨️
May Her Soul Rest In Peace!
These ladies sound like a choir!!!! Love them!!! RIP Maxee, whom I share a birthday with (along with Mary J Blige and Kim Coles). Your vocals were off the charts!!!
Aww which one is maxee
@@mskweenie860 The lovely lady who sing the 1st verse
Yeah, MJ too...
Such a great song. I get chills every time I hear this banger.
I’d like to go back to this era just to revisit for a day.
Who’s riding?
Leaving 2024 for a day.
@@tmichelle2648 - sounds great to me; I’m riding along with you!
When we leaving? 😂
I’m taking that ride .. this will never get grow old . Best era ever 💯
A wish I could go back and stay there the 90s ❤❤
@@CliveBailey-j1s me too
RIP Charmayne Maxwell, she always possessed a unique alto voice in Brownstone & "5 Miles To Empty" definitely showcased her talent!!! What a terrible way to leave this earth! This is one of my favorites from the 90s
Yesss... Real Music!
Sister's with voices!!!!❤
OMG this tune was my life back in the day 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥thank girls for the memories.listening in Aug 2023.
MICHAEL’S GIRL GROUP!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was Micheal Jackson's Group .They were signed to his label
I’m a 97 baby…& still to this day…goodness..grateful I grew up in this era…real music..real r&b…❤️🫶🏽
lol you actually didn’t grow up in it , you missed it boo.
I can’t believe how much time has passed. This song stirs emotions and these women were so in tune melodically. Jesus!!!! I love people that can sing like this.🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
NICCI'S VOICE IS AMAZING..SHE KILLS HER HIGH NOTES...
Their harmony is incredible!!!
agree
yess
Increased Standards
Unbelievable!
Ain't it now!!!...Seems like the last era in Black music where real musical knowledge and TALENT were a requirement!
ariesgirl54ify
Sadly, we have probably seen the end.
I'm impressed about how Michael Jackson always had his ear to the streets. He loved hip hop and he discovered great R&B talent like Brownstone.
MJ always kept it real
Period Mike is a true king !
Question: did he discover anyone else? I only knew of Brownstone he discovered. Were there any other groups or solo artists?
@@MelaninCosplay Quo. But the less said about them the better. One half of this duo is currently in a legal fight with the Jackson estate due to those sexual abuse allegations he was facing since the 90s.
@@YahyaDeepCuts Oh woooow. Okay, I didn't know that. I hate to hear that. Thank you for letting me know.
Every time I hear this song I just smile. Because music like this just takes me back to a time where everything was okay. Thank you Michael Jackson for this amazing group. RIP king of Pop music.
When Michael Jackson brought these ladies together, chile he know what he was doing!
+lilanie p. Yes he did I wish MJ held on to his record company for a little while longer the man knew how to pick some talent.
Michael Jackson brought them together?
+Christopher Shannon NO! They were just signed to his MJJ record label. They were already a group.
+Lateshia Childs right. if MJ couldn't pick talent, nobody could.
lilanie p. didn't know Micheal Jackson brought Dem together. oh my..great job!
This is my favorite brownstone song! Glad I grew up on this kind of music!
Its a close second for me. I can't tell you why is my stuff.
Me too!
me too. i don't hear music like this anymore.
Marie Chanel chigomnoe.adpackpro-international.com
Lookingoodat38 Agreed..these ladies could blow
This song makes me wanna worship. They got that good church sound.
No skimpy outfits, no sleeze, just pure class. (NUFF SAID) 1❤
Fr
"RESPECT "
When they hit that chorus...man, that is just ice cold! REAL music never dies, y'all!
2:00- Nicci come THROUGH with that attitude, that swagger, and dem vocals!
1000% agreed
These girls could bring a dead man back to life with those voices...
True
I know they brought a lot of broken hearts back to life!
Voices are Awesome!
Yes RIP to Maxee
I thought i was the only one
Seriously
" Ohhhhhhh Babbbyyy" always touches my soul, when this song plays.
Sisters voices were on point... back grounds behind that lead...feeding off each other..that sounds great 👍👍👍😃
These queens can BLOW!
There voices are so strong and powerful like, how does a trio sound like a 20+ choir? Harmonies are tight af. RIP to Charmayne "Maxee" Maxwell
Her death was so sad and tragic! May she continue to R.I.P. 🙏🏾
It's called echo effect... but they didn't really need it ... studio magic
@@ahulin49I don't think it's an audio plugin by itself. They sound like this on multiple tracks.
Michael Jackson said that’s why he signed them too
I say the same thing. They sound like a Gospel choir singing. My favorite Female R&B Group.
❤❤❤ so miss the 90’s
LAWWD! This song still gives me goosebumps!! Please come back 1990s😢
❤😢 right
Right 😢
Still pain my heart hearing this song and reminiscing on the love my ex and i shared in and around this time of the 90"s😢😢😢
Agree those were the days before social media and it was better because we were cool with people and put the music on and we came together with food and alcohol and we got along. We could not go wrong when we put on song after song!
Getting them now !! ❤
i will Forever be here xxxxxxxxxxxxx
No fake bodies just actual amazing vocals and all of them are attractive 👍🏾🙌🏾
And that how it was in the 90s. No era can touch it
2020, So, so, True!!
The curly head one has a very tragic story..a very tremendous loss 😢 💔
Preach
Fake noses
This was 🔥when it first came out and it’s STILL🔥!
Soothes the soul, relaxes the mind, & takes me back to a better time when music like this was life.
The harmony on this track is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽. Still rocking in 2022😍.
Well said fabulous song
You took the words from my heart 💓. Timeless song and outstanding singing. Real RnB
Total respect to the old time singers who didn't have to expose there private parts like the ones of today who call themselves singers
Facts
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Still don't understand how did this album didn't do well in the market. You can't skip a track from this album
the album wasnt promoted right.
Poor management
at the time there were too many black girl groups in the market. They couldnt compete w EnVogue, SWV, Xscape and TLC
Marketing failed them...
@@umamizaddy
Their voices KNOCK em all out the box !
Going into 2025 still loving Brownstone ❤
Ms. Maxee, rest in Heaven ❤️❤️ Who was that fine man loving up on her in this video?
Brownstone slowed their beats down, and sung to us!
People don't know this Nikki, them vocals could take out a choir!
A beautiful soul RIP , Ms. Charmayne! 🙏
wait, WHO is singing background?????
❤❤ 2024 Who's listening?
Right now !
Right now,Milano Italy 😉
Me honty❤
Yep, here in the UK
Right now, Nairobi, Kenya.
So it’s only taken me till today to find this song. I heard it once and fell in love. When it first came. But I didn’t know the words apart from I need it whoa. 😂😂😂. Made my day/night
2024 and we still going up 27 years later! RIP to the beautiful Maxee Maxwell 🥀🕊
Flawless beauties with angelic voices. One of the best female R&B groups of the 90's. I believe SWV is great also.
This album was the bomb from start to finish!!
Yesssss!
YESS LAWD 😍 I love this Song with BrownStone tha first one singing her voice just give me GooseBumps everytime hit that Vocal💯
R.I.P. Charmayne Maxwell
They sound like whole damn choir 🙌🏼
I want to sound like that😍
ikr
Word!
Jay'Rell 4Real
That's what I've been saying for years. They sound like more than three women.
Jay'Rell 4Real Lol
they need an unsung episode!!!
carolki13 I agree Unsung need to get on this!!!
Most Definitely and long overdue!
Yes, you said it. TV One should have had that episode long time ago. If they have that episode, I hope they dig deeper into Charmayne's death and do a better job than the police did.
@@pansysgarden a blood sacrifice. Her husband knows.
It would not be the same without Charmayne input
Damn I wish I was back there again
"I need a good man to fill me up, I need a good man to give me love" Love their voices...I rmbr singing this all the time. I miss music like this I can relate to. #musicforyoursoul
This song put tears in my eyes 😭 I don't even know why....
Who you telling baby
No need to explain. Me too❤
I feel you ❤
3:27 starts my favorite part of this song. It brings me back to the choir as a young girl. When the Altos and Sopranos were singing at the same time but different lines. Maaaan I miss authentic music
2:57... NIKKI came thru like "I told you I was 5 MILES TO EMPTY DAMNIT" 😮😅❤
R.I.P Charmayne Maxena "Maxee" Maxwell died on February 27, 2015 at age 46
Founded in Los Angeles, the singers met each other after attending various auditions around the city. They formed the group and were signed to Michael Jackson's MJJ Music record label less than a year later.
She died by falling on a drinking glass that shattered and cut her throat? WTF?
Wow. RIP.
@@finisher3x very sad.. 1 in a 10000
@@finisher3x what?
Sounds suspicious
WOW GREAT INFORMATION THATS THESE A SUSTAS ARE BLACK QUEEN FOREVER AND EVER
Those Harmonies!!!! I will never stop loving them. Even with Kina they still had it!!!! I love them!
Fantastic gospel vocals... beautiful as well..bands like these ladies and en Vogue.. not out there . above the rest for sure .Amen to that
u r an intelligent man
Harmony on point
These women can blow. Sistas with voices. My favorite song from Brownstone.
That's swv lol
I agree I often wonder why their career was SO SHORT
I want the 90's to come back.
Hell yeah me too
na
80s too.
Both
Unfortunately we can not buy time...
But we can invest in it...
I play this song everyday all day!! That chorus is so perfect.... yes nicci sang it baby. Maxxie Rest in peace that angelic voice will never be forgotten ❤❤❤
Ooh, this brings back memories..that jam!!
Their vocals slayed!
The harmony they have is amazing. Love this song
5miles to empty....and no twreking involved..luv this music.
Amen. I miss those days when it about the music and not about shaking their butts. The 90s at its best right here.
Scadaeshus Yells it’ll be hard to twerk to this slow song lol
That's because it's real singing!!all the way live!!
The real deal always
😊⁰😊⁰😊😊😊😊😊⁰@@pansysgarden
They was dope asf
23yrs later, this song STILL gives me CHILLS the SAME way it did when it came out.... as if it were BRAND NEW! ❤
This music got me through some tough times I guess all of us were there...sooo sad to hear about Charmayne's untimely death,...they were so gifted, and beautiful...so sad....R.I.P.
JoJo ModSquad which one is Charmaine? Oh sad news indeed. This is and was my favourite Brownstone song.
It's like a heart cry.
5 miles to empty
RIP
Jo Samuels Baby j she is the one who sang first. So sad RIP
Sad indeed
Simpler times in my life back then..really love this song it's sad about the passing of the member..but we all have to come to that journey @some point some sooner then others 😔
jojo z Her death was so sad. She fell on a broken wine glass or something like that.
The best era with music from sisters who could sing to the New Jack Swing!
I love this song so much....I had it on repeat back in the day...still do!
Rest in eternal peace, Maxi.
Your vocal magic, and your incomparable, exquisite beauty will never be rivalled.
This track was MINT! One of their finest - lyrically, melodically and vocally.
These women had an ethereal, combined vocal quality that was so packed and penetrative, that delivered a sound evocative of a whole room full of singers; their harmonies echoing back against their own to create five times the ambience! You could just never put your finger on how they did this, but it was so natural.
Nicci, Mimi, Kina, Trisha, Arin, Alexis - all of these fine ladies who have been the evolving line-up...
And, of course, Maxi -
Thank-you all for the gifts you have given the world for so long.
I'm so happy that this was my era of music!!! ❤🔥
the best vocals of any female group
BEAUTIFUL HARMONY ... SOUNDS LIKE A CHOIR LINE IN DA TEMPLE ( MY BABIES ) GIRLS... SING IT GIRL. ❤ ☆☆☆ PEACE !
Nicci was snatched yawl. She DID that!!!
My favorite Song by Brownstone!!! RIP MAXI!!!
They did they thing on this one.
LaCheleWallace
Love this!!
***** Me too! so terrible
***** They said she slipped on a broken glass bottle, lots of it and a piece of glass cut her neck and punctured a main artery. So bizzare!!
*****
Yeah for sure!
I love this song. These ladies are beautiful and they’re voices. R.I.P. Maxee🙏🏽
Fiiiiiiivvvveeee miiilllleesss to em-ppptttyyÿyy🙌🏾
The days when music was real and every member in the group could actually sing.
Highly Recommend 🖤💜🖤💜💜💜🖤🖤💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝
This song is still on replay. ❤️🔥
“Hurry, hurry! Quick, quick!” Sounding like a choir!
Heard this gem on a movie trailer & couldn't think of the name till u listened closely, and now I'm here!! 90s R&B, my guilty pleasure
