My sister put this song on a playlist she made for me before she passed away earlier this year. This has been my gift from her and I’ll always cherish this song💗
God bless your broken heart may you heal in His timing, there is a beauty and knowledge in processing pain. We must seek growth, humility, gratitude or whatever we were meant to gain from these losses we experience. We are to find the lesson in our sorrows to find the blessing, so you take the time you need to grieve her, blessings dear
Jhene uses a homophone here, as although it sounds like “waiting”, she says “wading”, which means to drown in water until “I will turn blue”. This implies that Jhene would do anything for his love, and if he keeps her waiting she could go as far as ending her own life.
If a man tells you that he doesn't want to be with you, take him seriously. No waiting will ever change his mind about you. They always know what you're good for, the minute they lay their eyes on you for the first time.
Literally on a monthly basis I still listen to this song. Jhen Aiko is so damn talented! This music always reminds me of when I first graduated college 🤩🙌
FENTY it was that "Eat the Booty like groceries" line. No one knew her until that song && now people have grouped her into a shit category cuz of it 😂 lol that's what I think happened sadly
Lyrical Myracle No, actually people knew who she was before the Omarion song. She had a nice buzz going a few years ago. She was featured on Drake's 2013 album(which is how I discovered her) and J Cole's album a few years back which helped her buzz also. Her song "The Worst" got major radio play and was Grammy nominated. MTV even had her as an Artist To Watch. This was all before the infamous line lol. The problem is her overall style of music doesn't fit in with what's considered hot at the moment. 10 or 15 years ago this song would have been a major hit. She would have to change her style to get more attention like how the Weeknd did. 4 or 5 years ago no one knew who he was. He recently changed his style now he's one of the hottest singers out. Dude is everywhere.
I really don't know what you guys are complaining about. Jhene is one of the few artists that makes good videos with a story nowadays. I loved this and The Pressure. Keep it up Efuru! I love you!
So i was watching this video and reading the comments and thinking to myself i like this song too i wonder what the contention is about , and then shes caressing a snake 😟 and my african self was like huh why 🤷🏿♀️
A woman had my heart, and I was longing for her to love me as much as I loved her. I listened to this song all the time, and she never understood what I was really saying. 6 years of pain and loneliness. Never got closure, and it haunts me that I can never close that door because she wouldn't let me. Over the years I've realized she never wanted me to get over her, because she wouldn't be able to get over me either. I think we'll always love one another from far away, and with no words ever spoken since that last time we saw each other years ago. This song still speaks to every ounce of my soul, and the pain of waiting for something that will never happen again (and we both know it). Better to love than not at all though is how I chose to live my life. Being a hopeless romantic though is what helped me find the right woman, and she loves me and all the flaws that come with me. Much love everybody watching this. If you feel alone, I hope you smile when you read that I love you. You deserve to smile and be happy. Don't deny yourself the feeling of love. It'll lead you to the right one in time.
Omg. This is so beautiful!!!! We all deserve to be loved wholly. I can't seem to let myself fall completely for someone because I can't take the pain of a heartbreak :'-( I hope one day I will be able to do this so I can find my person
@@shelmithmwendwa5356 You're stronger than you know. I hope you can find a way to open up if the right one comes along. Don't let the other person control your future. They're your past for a reason. Don't fear the future. There are always brighter days in the future if you decide for yourself you deserve to be happy. 🙂❤️ Stay strong
I'm 21 and I've been through the exact experience and I mean exact you know but of course he didn't love me as much as I loved him. I fell in love with this song for the same reason, it speaks with my soul and what pisses me off is that it would randomly play during sex but never when we just chilling lol. But I found closure, I told him all the things I couldn't when we were together and right after I sent that text he called me to tell me he loves me, under that crying voice he told me he loved me and hadn't found nobody like me. I have someone that loves every piece of me now, I can't even keep up lol but Im young and anything can happen. Its 9:40pm where Im at, paused netflix to come listen to this song and for some reason I checked the comments lol. Im glad I came across this come and that there's people like you out there that give out uplifting comments like this. Thank you so much for making me smile😂. I hope you're in good health wherever you are and tell your lady I said she found a gem ❤, much love. @K
I love how she uses real music to make R and B. the sound is beautiful. it actually enhances her voice. I love artists who use real instruments. her voice tells the story of her soul. breath taking
Love her style. I like her MORE than EVERY BODY that got grammys (females) lately (except Beyoncé, MJ Blige, Adele.).Is it R&B?.. cause they sure don't give her enuf play.!
Idk why but this song reminds me of my ex, I think I still have feelings for his cheating ass, I don't know what's wrong with me. That piece of shit broke my heart.
the fight did it for me.. 💕 most of us are not fought for. im not talking about physical but just the spiritual fight it takes to stay and ride it out. that's the best part. thats when we grow and learn more about eachother..
This is Jhené’s long lost b-side best song ever. I’m OBSESSED with this dark, epic vibe. And the song builds and she gets so into it and that weird alien sound at the end ugh I love it!! I wanna hear this live so baddddd (wading till I turn blue)
Her and The Weeknd would be an absolutely amazing duo. No matter if it's the "new" or "old" Abel, true fans appreciate the music he has and is continuing to make and also understand that he is making it BIG in the music industry! Wait til he drops a new album, guarantee it won't disappoint! #XO #wasafanwaybeforeOften
Victoria_91 absolutely agree to you.People are so hypocritial sometimes,they just cannot enjoy an artist's growth,besides i personally enjoy the new and the old weeknd equally.
I tried to explain how her music is basically what my soul sounds like but no one understands! I sing and write my own songs but her music is somethign I can't explain! It's so peaceful. Its stoner soul music for sure! She's a wonderful artist and I've been on her since she sang on bonus tracks on B2K albums! She's goreous and talented as hell!
Sitting in my dark room bathroom in a warm hot bath with a few candles lit .. This song playing on the background incense burning, sipping on some red wine .. And just injoying the moment in these crazy times.
This video would've been perfect for "Brave" only because he's brave to love a woman who is a sex slave in the video but definitely not for "Wading". I expected her to be a mermaid or just waiting by the shore for someone she loves. I still love her though.
I agree. I like the video, it's sexy, but I definitely thought she'd be floating in an ocean waiting (or wading) for some sexy thing to show up and get his act together. Still love you Jhene!
I love this song so much, I've felt the same way and wondered the same question: should I be waiting? Talking to other dudes but deep down still hopeful for the one that mattered but really shouldnt matter. I love jhene.
my favorite part: I am not perfect I would never let you think I was more than this as good as it gets I have one regret your something I can not miss... Real spit!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Picture me rolling Out in the open, baby I know That you would notice You have been hoping I wouldn't go Should I be wading? Should I be wading for you? Don't keep me waiting I will turn blue Picture me rolling Out in the open With some other man I know That you would notice And you were hoping Feelings wouldn't start to grow All of the wading All I was, wading Wading for you I have been waiting I will be waiting Till I turn blue I am not perfect I would never let You think I was more than this As good as it gets I'll have one regret You're something I cannot miss I will be wading I will be wading For you I will be waiting I will be waiting Till I turn blue I am not perfect I would never let You think I was more than this As good as it gets I'll have one regret You're something I cannot miss I will be wading I will be wading For you I will be waiting I will be waiting Till I turn blue
Her boyfriend Dot Da Genius produced the video. . .that's why. Childish Gambino did her last video too. But agreed...I wish it had a beach scene at least. I do like how the slow motion of the video matches the flow of the song. Good job if this was his first video.
Lots of comments here about how "she's a female version of..." Do yall ever think that it's THIS type of "need to compare" mentality, that keeps UNIQUE artists like her from getting the proper NOTORIETY that SHE deserves? 🤔 ijs
omg I love her lyrics. I love the imagery she uses in them. So creative. "Should I be waiting? Should I be waiting for you? Don't keep me wading I will turn blue" Her character was willing to risk everything for her ex's love smh
Bow Down to the Pisces Queen!! Jhene Aiko is one of the most Creative, Introspective, Beautiful, Untouchable, and Spiritual artists of this Generation!!👑🌊👑
