India.Arie Lyrics

    ------ About the song Wings Of Forgiveness performed by India.Arie

I think this is about two men making love in the apart complex The Crossings at Wood Bridge in Roswell, Ga. The one is upset because the other cheated on him, I know I have been there many times. - David Morales

    ------ About the song Video performed by India.Arie

I cannot find words to thank you enough Ms Arie. I'm turning 15 this year, and struggling with bulimia and depression, but when I heard this song, it made me stop and think. Why does it matter what people say. I'm beautiful just the way I am. Because I am a queen. So I don't have the words to express my gratitude to you. This song has changed my life.

    ------ About the song Good Man performed by India.Arie

This song was given to me as a gift 5years ago after losing my other half to the cruel streets of the D. Still till this day everytime I hear it I'm in tears. It is a beautiful touching song that really hit home with me. No even after years goes by it doesn't get better its just accepted that I can't change it.

    ------ About the song I Am Not My Hair performed by India.Arie

Man... I love that line 'I am not your expectations'. Black women especially go through a lot when it comes to their hair. But this song is really about people judging you on your exterior hair, weight, skin colour etc

Anyway look within yourself and say 'I AM NOT YOUR EXPECTATIONS' heheh

    ------ About the song The Truth performed by India.Arie

Believe it or not this is my first time hearing this song...It makes me wish I had have heard it before I got married almost 2yrs ago. I wish I had the man in this song and while my husband and I contemplate divorce, Im feeling more like M.C's song Blame it On Me...as long as you say it's over. I am going to stop looking and just wait on GOD to bring me THE TRUTH.

    ------ About the song Video performed by India.Arie

It was 3 months ago (September 2011) when I fell in love with you and your music. I've known 'Brown Skin and Video' from when I was a kid but didn't know who exactly sang the songs. ... It was our Dance Practical- Rehearsals at school when a friend was using one of your songs for her choreography that I decided I am going to be your fan . Your voice sounded so familiar that I asked who the artist was. I was showed the cover of your album and I quickly googled- India Arie, the name I saw first. I read about you and your career. I was so inspired and motivated by what I read and downloaded a lot of your pictures and music. The picture that I love best is the one where you are wearing all white and carrying your Guitar. ... I love you India for who you are and for the wonderful music you are giving to the world. You are a true inspiration to most teengagers, like you are to me as I am one. You have given me a great platform which I am going to work on as a Young- Growng- Artist. ... 'Promise' has taught me to understand my self as a young, black, gifted woman. I can now face the world with courage, wisdom and confidence knowing that I am beautiful in my own, fearfully made self. ... Please do come to South Africa. It would be a great honour to go to a well , respectable and beautiful concert of an Artist like you. ... You are my daily bread. ... ''4rm Boikano Phahle Wako Mzansi''

    ------ About the song The Truth performed by India.Arie

This song reminds me of my husband.. He is the
Truth! He has been a blessing in my life since
Day 1- even those little imperfections make him
Even more tangible- I often add songs 2 my personal
'soundtrack' of my husband and this is the latest!
Halo is also one of my tracks...talking REAL love!

    ------ About the song The Truth performed by India.Arie

Everytime I think of my (future) husband I think of this song. It's almost like this song took everything I try to say to him and sums it all up to the t. I love everything about him from the way he thinks to the way that he treats his mother. This song is awesome and it hits the way I feel on the spot. I love all of your songs India irie and I thank you for your powerful songs.

    ------ About the song You Made A Fool Of Me performed by India.Arie

He made a fool of me well they...my father left my mother and I when I was little. I idolized him, even after he left. I waited for years thinking he would come back until I realized he wasn't coming back. He didn't love me and I couldn't understand that I cried so much that I promised myself as a little girl that I would never ever shed a tear for another man again. My mother and I moved on and she remarried it took me some time but I came to love him very much I even call him dad. Dad didn't stay golden for long he constantly cheats on my mother and she is still with him. I think she is so scared and tired she doesn't think she can can pick up and leave and survive again. I broke that promise I made to myself I cry even more now. Mostly for my mother. I'm old now but I have never loved and don't want to love. I've seen what love does and I do not want it. I do not want to become a mothers daughter. The most important men in my life have made a fool out of me so why should I give that chance to a complete stranger
