I find it hard to find any vocalist who can hit such beautiful, balanced and perfect powerful high notes as Stevie manages in this song. Warms the ears, not shrill
Lately, I have had the strangest feeling With no vivid reason here to find Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging 'Round my mind Far more frequently you're wearing perfume With you say no special place to go But when I ask, "Will you be coming back soon?" You don't know, never know Well, I'm a man of many wishes Hope my premonition misses But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide 'Cause they always start to cry 'Cause this time could mean goodbye Lately I've been starring in the mirror Very slowly picking me apart Trying to tell myself I have no reason With your heart Just the other night while you were sleeping I vaguely heard you whisper someone's name But when I ask you of the thoughts you're keeping You just say nothing's changed Well, I'm a man of many wishes I hope my premonition misses But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide 'Cause they always start to cry 'Cause this time could mean goodbye, goodbye Oh, I'm a man of many wishes I hope my premonition misses But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide 'Cause they always start to cry 'Cause this time could mean goodbye
The Mozart of Motown.... Oh how i love this man so much.... What a Modern Composer So deep....i have everything he ever recorded..... This one slays me
Taken from the superlative 'Hotter Than July' album, this brings back great memories of school days. I remember this being released as a single in February 1981 in the UK on Motown Records. I loved it then and still love it today. A definitive Stevie Wonder song - there are many but this is surely in the top 3?

You don't find many singers that sing their songs 'live' and sound exactly like they do during their recording session in the booth...that performance was exactly like you hear it on the album. Stevie is just an exceptional talent. I have it a dead-even tie between Stevie and Luther Vandross with Marvin Gaye as a runner-up.
I'm rambling around lateniight in the kitchen, and a thread of this tune's ending came to me but couldn't place it. I sang those few notes and it came up in that little selection that you get when Google isn't certain. Whew, what a clean, sparse, fabulous recording - t hat bass out front so mm mm Mm! - 'doesn't even bother me that it's prerecorded. Little Stevie Wonder, a dream. He is golden.
....one of my "all time favorite"....reminds me of those "broken hearted" days...! so sad...listening to it makes me smile,and a sigh... of relief .!...'buti nalang 'di ikaw..!
