TLC - Waterfalls (Official HD Video) 

I remember when this video came out I must have been 10 (I’m now 33) and it was a shock that I needed. ❤️

Yuhp

Im 28 so i must have been 5 wow, i miss being 5 my mom played them all the time, i miss my mom

I'm a metalhead but grew up with this song, and yes, I searched it and headbanging to it LOL :P

rightt😅😭

Me

Yo

love this song

Her

you post in every song i guess?

Yeah me I love there songs I been trying to find people in 2024

I can here just after watching them on netflix

There's already 100+ comments asking whose listening in 2024 so you came a little late

Yes April 30, 2024

Nope that’s why we’re still all listening to fierce music from 30 years ago!

What purpose was served by you mentioning that YOU’RE WHITE? That was super WEIRD. Are you ok? 😩

He’s basically saying how powerful music is by expressing how far he is from the culture. Like when someone from Africa say “love from Kenya 🇰🇪” under an American artist post. Just say you racist 💀

@@SaulTeeBallsare you okay? That really got your panties in a bunch.

I am a 60 year old woman and still love this song,i love all theirmusic,keeps me young

One of my favorites also

Actually the girl has a "natural obsession for temptation". She is the one who slept with so many guys and she had HIV and the boy got sick by HIV thanks to her.

Sex. Schmex. What difference does THAT make?

@@brianjude6789 This guy made a wrong interpretation of the second verse. It's not the boy who had HIV, it's the girl who had slept with so many men, the scene where it shows the pictures of all guys she had slept with describes it. And because of her being infected, he got HIV and both die.

No kidding about THAT one, @@miloseviczarko45. I believe you.

​@@miloseviczarko45 That was their point 🙄

sheesh

I actually do follow God and have a great faith in Jesus. I justify nothing. I was only translating the song into simple terminology. Ps 32:8

I didn't understand the lyrics until you broke it down. Thanks

Actually, not so much gang life, as it was referring to drug dealing.

Gangs are sexy like black magic is to a black cat

I am impressed with your insight. You seem like someone that really rode the roller coaster of life and survived. I respect you for being honest you are truly blessed.

P.s I am 55 and survived a lot of abuse in my life too.

@@leslieosman363 I appreciate that 🙏

HIV can be healed by taking shitake, reishi, kombucha or maitake tea for 3 months, plus eating healthy non sugared food (nothing processed), taking Sea Salt Baths w/ a handful of lemon or lime to neurtralize the water and eating non sugared yogurt that is Organic...to balance out the energy in your body as well as your stomach acids - flora and fauna...

I believe she was not perfect but her soul was too kind and too sensitive for this world.

She also named all their albums

Not the whole song, she was helped by Brandon Bennett and Marqueze Etheridge. It shows it in RU-vid Music, correct me if I’m wrong, though.

​@@euricequeen842she burnt down her man's mansion bro 😂😂 she was insane fr but it happens fuck it

With help from Paul McCartney.

I hate when they cut out left eyes part on some radio stations! Pisses me off! 😂

Me too. She was special. On Ain't To Proud To Beg she is so goofy and so sexy at the same time. And so dear.

bless him.

Hope TLC came to see him out

I heard he's back now though.

Sometimes I just feel like typing something offensive just to piss someone off and attract hate to me

@@buggs6608 why's that? Do you hate yourself and the world? Life is shit a lot of the time.

Woke

nice

Unfortunately I understood this at a young age. It was myself though.

@@tracypounders2358 I've always been a very sensitive person. I, personally, heard those words and knew what they meant. I got emotional for the mother referenced in the video. Such a sad situation that I'm sure so many have and will have to go through. A beautiful song for grief and reality.

True that! I have tears in my eyes now as I just sent shared this with my son of 35 years. Deep.. Show ME that you know me ME

Perfection

Fear ,lust temptation,risk

I definitely agree do safe things instead of risky things in life

Wonder Women That is a wonderful flow from Left Eye. 😘 #LeftEye4Eva

No other female rapper can flow like this. None!

Wonder Women my favorite verse from the song. Thanks for the post

sad

Wonder Women thanks

So many yars later and i wanted to hear her voice. And here I am..

She overdosed or what?

Thoed Essay813 She died in a car accident on April 25, 2002. She lost control of her car, was thrown from it, and died instantly from severe head and neck trauma.

@@nathanfarmer4632 That's tragic.. Thanks for the info

@@gookawild5543 No problem. You're welcome.

Same!

I'm 1984. I miss this music style

86

84 here and I remember there songs on MTV and BET.

🙌🏼 1986 here! this brings back so many nostalgia memories.

Finally

Hey listen to the song "In Jesus Name by Katy hill" you feel something when you hear it, I really hope everyone who reads this does listen to that song.

the true message of the song is that waterfalls may be beautiful, but they also end in a crash. so dont be chasing something beautiful but deadly.

+1

Every era had an important message of people choose to listen.

I once did a facebook test about what was popular when my i was conceived, and this song came up. So i guess i could say this song is deeper than my dad was in my mom that day.

i know right!

Yep!

Joni Velat lmao

It’s deeper than 23 year old me realized. Yep, just found out 5 minutes ago.

Even worse when you watch the video where they talk about being one of the best selling girl groups but being broke af because of their greedy managers.

Yes it is

Its about HIV/AIDS

solamente the person is not wrong, you are neither its also about drugs. It has multiple meanings.

@@solotm2259 no it's not just about HIV. It's about how taking risks (such as having unprotected sex or dealing drugs) could cost you your life.

Look at you guys being all analytical...I like it ❤

Be yourself. Don't try to be someone you're not. Don't fall for peer pressure! Just because others do it, don't mean you should. There's only 1 life!

Lol. Love that show.

Hey hey

Lisa Left Eye one of the prettiest girls I've ever layed eyes on.....omg ! My heart was so broken when she passed. I only wished she had lived long enough to claim her throne as Queen of R&B.

The saddest part is I'm not sure Lisa knew how special she was, and influential.

Unreleased/Underrated R&B Grooves Lisa left eye Lopez had the best voice in my opinion she was the greatest women rapper ever and she was so so hot what a sexy girl she had it all the full package RIP ANGEL

TLC just made us all happy to be women. God Bless

Her delivery n charisma too. Rip to an amazing talent

Well, it is a lot darker today.

Realized...have to use a zed when speaking about American stuff. Sorry...I don't make the rules.

I think its real, not dark, on the other hand I guess life in general is pretty dark.

whats this song about?

@@DeezHairyYteNutz I’m not American 😂

Actually if Lisa was still alive she would your same age, she was also born in 71, you have more in common than you thought.

im a white american man and like the song and left eye lopez

A Canadian woman, I'm in the same boat as you, @funkyfreya71. Except I'm older.

Gawd, stop apologizing for being white. Either you like the song or you don't. Enough of the DEI BS that white libs feel they have to subscribe to.

I was 12 when i got my TLC album. I knew what this song meant, its pretty clear in its verbage. I think what hits harder now is fully understanding the implications(side effects) of the stories and everyone it effects and how. Wisdom over knowledge in this situation, its pretty clear the subjects they are talking about, the actual impacts on life around the stories is something you have to actually live to understand. I grew up a bad kid, got into a lot of trouble and saw my parents frustration and sadness. Two people i knew got shot and killed at that time, one died in jail. Later on two more got dead living the game... that i had left by that point. Its just fucking sad. Then you have AIDS and it was something that even 12 year old me knew about, from school and the news. The AIDS epidemic was brutal back then, i met someone years back that got it from being drugged and raped. Luckily hes still around thanks to advancements in medicine but... fuck man. So many people died. Of course, another big factor in knowing about the AIDS part was that Forest Gump also came out in the same year.

Too hard

Hey

I always knew what it meant, but agreed!!

Ok

I felt a need to pop the guy with the gun

Yeah, so sad. :( :( :(

What a testimony

Me too ❤❤❤❤❤

There isn’t a thing in life this song doesn’t cover that’s why it’s so wonderful

Amen to that! 🙏❤

This music brings a lot of memories back to me this song goes way back and it has a lot of meaning to it's lyric's

So awesome. So true

Wow did u remember that 🤩😍👍

Some people can’t handle the truth and Left-Eye dropped bombs in all her raps 💣🔥 I would love to hear what she thinks of our current situation

+ordinarydannyboy i was lowkey waiting for the rap

+ordinarydannyboy it is a song about getting AID and HIV

"she gives him loveing his body can't handle" to a derict reference to her son getting AIDS

Emily Savrin I think it's deeper than aids and HIV... its about him prioritsing the wrong things in life and he should have stuck to the safer things 'the things hes used to'. so because he went chasing waterfalls he died

That'S Cold

+Kyle Jenner Exactly! I don't wanna call racist, but to me it's like saying, 'This part is too ghetto for this station, so we're just gonna cut it'. I mean she's not swearing or anything so why cut it? BTW, same thing happens with the song Scrubs, they cut Lisa's rap part too.

dat f**ked up

Why do they do that

What the hell is wrong with them. Left Eye's lyrics is the much awaited part in this song

Just as that scene appeared I was reading over this comment

Yup, also the way the girl takes away the condom from his hand

top music

Back in the 16th century no matter what happened people always blamed god for it and they prayed every day, the beliefs in god back then were really strong/I was just trying to give people a different perspective on the belie very in god

Tee Mee was thinking this after just watching. haven't seen this since it was on MTV. there's really nothing anymore like this in the rap and rnb genres. it's like they really did this song for the people/fans, not for themselves so fans just buy their music. on a side note, I really think after 9/11 all this went away. we became scared as a nation and focus is more on ourselves. making sure we're secure at the price of dismissing our community and surroundings. the 90's weren't perfect, but it was on a decent track for community until it was completely derailed in 2001. lots of things changed, and even though it's not a sharp line, there's a major split from music pre and post 9/11. more than the usual contemporary progression. genuine useful messages in a song are a sad rarity these days. damn.

Tee Mee this was a great song as a young kid I didn't appreciate how good this song was it had a great message and also displayed great musicianship with the band in the background this song touched so.many people's lives and so many people could relate to this song my mom is another generation obviously but u know when this song comes on she jams to it any song from my Era that my parents jam too I know is good music

Tee Mee facts 💯💯💯

Tee Mee true

Alexandria Victoria This really caught me not a lot of music does that these days only some

@Astuteous Maximus agreed. Lyrics that had a message.

@Astuteous Maximus yes!! I click on and it's more of the same repetitive sh1t.... So l click out again 😔. As l kid l loves the lyrics and listened to the message. Chasing water falls was chilling yo me "three letters took him to his final resting place". Phil Collins did the same thing a strong message or real talk..

I guess you never heard of J cole.

@@youngwar1335 or Kendrick or xxxtentacion

Laurie Smith I thought it was STD since HIV is a virus that can be treated before AIDS

It could be treated, but not if the person didn't know/refused to admit they had it, and in the '90s, it was still kind of taboo to admit to having it, especially if you were a straight male (ie, it was the 'homosexual disease'). None of the other diseases were an immediate death sentence like AIDS was back when this song came out. Back in the '90s, especially '95 when the song came out, HIV itself was a death sentence. I found a small article from the CDC back from 2003, that mentions they're talking about AIDS: "TLC's 1995 hit "Waterfalls" also addressed the danger of HIV." www.thebody.com/content/art28606.html

It could go both ways HIV or STD any STD can kill you

Yup
