Jill Scott - "Insomnia" - Music Video

[@1NeoSoulChild]

"After being chased. I've been dismissed as just an object. Something to play with. " DAMN! One of the worst feelings is not knowing how he feels after he made it clear in the beginning that he wanted you... making you open your heart... wide... to let him in. Then he decides for some reason... not a good reason... that he's done. Oooh weee. I love Jill.

[@Kountrygyrl99]

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, listening for cars, engines, horns, noticing every sound hoping it's him..........but it's not. Never ever want to experience a foolish love like that again!!! Yes, Sweetcherry4282, I have served my time and I'm soooo glad it's over!!!

[@TrainWreQ]

As a man, Jill has helped me understand my actions as a young boy/man and how they affect the women in my past. She does a great job at illustrating and explaining the hurt. This is one of those songs that makes a brotha who has matured go back and say "I'm sorry..." and truly mean it. Love Jill!

[@duvaulljohnson3071]

Likewise.

[@mirabario]

The part about going to work....hoping no one will know... I feel that today. And I live with the man!

[@himlyfe2093]

I hope things have gotten better..

[@smoton2]

THIS SONG IS EVERYTHING!!

[@nubianlegalmind]

This is my favorite cut on the whole album, this is what you call grown folks music!!!

[@Katlady001]

It's after 5am and I just wanted to hear this song. Thankfully, it's not because of a broken heart (this time) I just can't sleep but this album is by far, one of my favorites by Jill. This song has actually come full circle for me. It use to remind me of my failed marriage but now it makes me grateful that I now have a wonderful husband...never settle for a man who doesn't have your back ladies, if your patient, he will find you.

[@Babyrocko1908]

LOVE IT! Who on here hasn't experienced a taste of a bit of Jill Scott's Insomnia! Lord has there been a better cd at all this year? This is MUSIC!

[@SEFYH]

I honestly can't say enough great things about this woman's talent! She is such a blessing to the music industry!

[@EntrepreneurialMind247]

I know exactly what she's saying, been there... Love you Jill, I can honestly say I relate to your music in many ways. Men can be so horrible.

[@VLP_123]

This is also my very favorite song. I can listen to it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. I don't know why I love it so much...perhaps it's because I and so many others can relate to her pain in a very real way as it's happened to us.

[@broncofangj]

gone Jill you know u one bad sista, thanks for never frontin on the real music I luv it.

[@haret0n]

there won't be many women who don't know that feeling! she describes it so eloquently and so beautifully.

[@sweetcherry4282]

Everyone has been this woman some point in their lives and it's takes a lot of strength and resolve to move and grow beyond this

[@Josina.E]

TUUUUNE... The production on this tune is tooooo BIG!! and the emotion in jill's voice!! gosh this woman has soul, spirit evrything! Just amazing!..

[@tiana1017]

DAMN!!!! this song transends. I can just FEEL the emotion in her voice...this song is so relatable...I love it! It is one of the best on the album...if not THE best...raw emotion...I feel it in my SOUL!!!! I can sO relate...

[@Dyamanti22]

[@canweallgetalong]

"At work no one will feel my pain" DAMN! I feel her pain in this song

[@cmcbeath]

This song is Hotttttt! Jill Scott at her best. Brilliant.

[@tlife35]

yes we all have been there sista! yet still we rise.. and live, learn and love the journey we have walked

[@mindfulone26]

I can truly relate to this song bc I was living it all when this cd dropped.

[@desojandoxmargaritas]

Damn... You spoke some beautiful words.

[@redhawkfire]

"Time To Wakeup and Put On My StrongFace...." That's the line that got me. I feel that big time.

[@MrsTruthTeller]

WOW WOW Jill is healing some not so completely closed wounds of mine with this song! Just called off an engagement because I was going thru this so much. She is doing wonders on my mind and soul right now. *** finally exhales*** Shocking how you can look in the mirror one day oblivious to how u turned from a woman of strength and substance to a crazy woman full of rage and hurt. I will never be her again!

[@emilg89]

yeah you're right she can convey her emotions through her voice very effectively.

[@gcsugirl]

I dunno why I always skipped this song! I was missing out!!!

[@dhartwellbasicfit]

Simply, a God sent voice---Blow Jill Blow!!

[@mecca777]

[@ShishaMina]

[@alwayfaithful71]

Forever a fan! This woman is the TRUTH!

[@Crystallight129]

I am so happy for you, Miss Jill Scott.. You look fabulous. You have always been so pretty when you were a little heavier but now your so extra gorgeouos.. Your voice is lovely just like you are.. I'm glad that you lost the weight.. Not only should you do it for your health but also to feel good about yourself.. I'm sure you felt good about yourself before but now you can feel EXTRA better about , YOU.. God bless you and keep singing with that beautiful voice.. You go girl....

[@cmcbeath]

I'm in that place right now. Thanks for the visual.

[@pams9690]

you dont even think about the way I feel...............sigh

[@nodlew1943]

Jill Scott just expresses raw emotions on her songs. Especially on this CD. She was going through sooo much.. Based on the lastes CD "Light of the Sun" She is in a much healthier emotional space. I am trying to get back good emotional space. I am so tired of being emotionally tired.

[@JusticeLoveandPeace]

True to life song ... spectacular.

[@msraymond]

So soothing,soulful,makes you feel tranquil,serene

[@1UNVME]

Jill says EVERYTHING Some women are Afraid to say, 'Tha Truth' She BAD!!

[@EntrepreneurialMind247]

@BerryBearParis Yes, they do it to us all the time but we have to be stronger than that, much stronger. It's really funny bcuz I only recently came across Jill Scott while listening to music on KZbin and by someone posting a comment on the best women singers, of course her name was mentioned. I'm so glad I found her. Nuff Respect Jill...

[@deboraross6289]

I watched For Colored Girls tonight. Wow!!!!! I laughed! I cried!! I got mad! I got Happy!! I wanted to turn it off at times, but I didn’t!! It was an emotional roller coaster!!! But one of the best Movies I had ever seen. Once it was over I started looking up the soundtrack and have been listening to it for a couple of hours!, Such an amazing movie !!!! AGAIN *** WOW***

It is 4 a.m. I'm waiting in our bed alone, Dreaming of your embrace Wishing you would come back home But you don't call, And you don't come, And you don't say, That you miss me And you don't stop To say hi On your way by I'm feeling crazy It is 5 a.m. And I'm waiting by the phone again This is not how it's 'sposed to be You're 'sposed to be here with me But you're go'n now You're just go'n now You don't even think about the way I feel You're just go'n now You're just go'n now When I know you should be right here It's 6 o'clock in the morning And I'm so tired of yawning I am miserable and feeling blue Cause all I really want is you But you don't call, And you don't come, And you don't say, That you miss me And you don't stop To say hi On your way by I'm feeling crazy It's 7 o'clock in the a.m. In 15 minutes this alarm will be ringing At work,no one will feel my pain It's a shame the way this whole thing changed But you're go'n now You're just go'n now You don't think about the way I feel You're just go'n now You're just go'n now When you know that you should be right here But you don't call, And you don't come, And you don't say, That you miss me No,no,no,no And you don't stop To say hi On your way by This is crazy Brrring... Time to wake up, And put on my strong face And hope that no one will know
