This has always been my favorite Nelly Furtado song since I was 8 or 9. I'm almost 30 now, and I can still remember listening to this on the radio. The beat, the melody, the bass, the vibe...you name it. I love it
My sisters used to listen this song when i was really little. Literaly i grew up with this music. Now my musical tastes are totally different. Punk Rock. Hardcore. But i still loving all these greats songs... now that im listening to them again i realize how amazing they are and cant stop feeling like when the four of us were at home :(
I was like 7-8 when my mom bought me Whoa, Nelly! in 2000, she loves Nelly and raised me around her. Every time in the car to school or wherever she'd play Nelly, all the way up until i could drive lol. Haven't touched a radio dial since 2009, really a shame how she stopped promoting, but on the same part, only real people who follow her not only for a social status and love (or actually know about) The Spirit Indestructible.
When I was little, my mom used to play this in the car and blast it. I had no idea what the words were but I looooved it. Lol, Now that I'm older and actually understand the words I'm IN love with it!
Ahh yes....those dearest times. Nickelodeon, Spyro the Dragon, Denim, when annual passes at Disneyland still cost $199, and asking mom to play this coming home from 2nd grade. Come back 2002
Magnifico trabajo Una verdadera buena cancion destroza las barreras del idioma ,edades,etnias y religiones En los ochenta habia una cancion que eh su video musical , tenia hasta veteranos de arriba de 60 moviendose al ritmo de la musica Transciende
Remember recording this song off the radio on to a mixtape (actual cassette) in 01. Using the Walkman was still practical cause most portable CD players skipped if you moved to much lol. The good ol' days
People have underestimated me and treated me like shit my whole life!. When I hear this song it reminds me of how strong I actually am and they cant really fuck with me!
I used to looooove this song as a child...I didn’t understand the words much, but I loved the melody and her voice. Whenever I listen to this song it’s as if I’m back in the year 2002.
Once, several years ago, traveling home on backseat of friends car smashed after hardly won MMA fight, this was only song on my phone at the time. I played it like million times while half asleep full of after fight endorfins. I could not find this song for a while, despite having the feeling from the situation stuck in my head. After years now enjoying the very same awesome moment I had in that car back then.
This is one of those songs that I just heard all my life and never really paid that much attention... revisiting it now I'm realizing that it's a really really good song XD.
Back then I'd have followed Nelly down-down-down anywhere. But not everything in this magical world is quite what it seemed... Damn, she was/is GOOD! Love me some Nelly!
@@cornishchris8404 I know this was 2 years ago lol.. During commercial breaks mainly. Plus during some of the talk shows, they would play like quick clips of music videos
this was a dope album. it really expressed her versality, formidability in the time of it's creation. a candle in the end. i was a big timbaland and magoo fan too, so there was a big wound there 🤔like how a sore develops over time not like somebody put pineapple on this pizza. when i heard nelly furtado & timbaland were going to work togather i was happy. they'd been gone for too long. but every tragedy has it's roots in happiness.
I‘m really asking myself why „I‘m Like a Bird“ is played more often in the radio than „Turn off the light“, although in 2001 „Turn off the light“ had a better chart position.
For me this was a prime example of misheard lyrics at the time. In the chorus I thought Nellie was singing, "Barney Barney Barney Barney no no no." It turned out she was singing, "Follow me follow me follow me follow me down down down." Mystery solved.
Oh man! My niece was born the year this song came out! My sister was 14 when she had her and I was 13. At first, I was scared, then when she came home from the hospital after 3 months in nicu...I was excited! She was like my little baby doll at first. Then my sister became a shit mom and my niece became damn near my daughter. Here we are now, 21 years later and she's about to have her second baby and I couldn't be more proud of the woman my little girl has become! She doesn't know it but she saved my life back then more than once and I'll always be grateful for her! 🥰🥰🥰
2019 and for more years to come I'm sure. I've been listening to this song from time to time for more or less 15 years (maybe 20). I feel like there's a fair chance I will keep this up until I'm old and gray. Wow!
