If you’re ever feeling down, remember this. The Earth is nearly 5 billion years old and you were lucky enough to be alive while Stevie Wonder was here too. ❤️

The sentiment is beautiful, but this will not help a single depressed person.

[@skygazer6898]

@@jimiwilson4322 Strange that! I love my music, but when I am feeling very depressed, usually when a loved one has died, I don't listen to music at all.

[@hotmessjess1849]

His voice (just speaking not even singing) is so melodic and comforting to me.

IMO The Greatest Album Ever

[@CannibalWHORE22]

What a peaceful also humble man. Wish people had this much class also made music like him.

[@kenkarapetian4905]

Stevie Wonder will never stop amazing us with his multiple talents. You think you know what to expect of him, and then he amazes you with another facet of his genius. Continually evolving; developing new forms of artistry...how it's possible is beyond my wildest imagination.

Steve Wonder is the first singer and musical memory of mine. I was 3 years old when I heard him sing “One Little Christmas Tree”, it was on an album called “A Motown Christmas”. Forty Five years later I still can’t get through the song without crying my eyes out. Stevie is just sensational. That is the power of Stevie Wonder’s music and the incredible talent he has.

[@fallsarian5371]

Danny Rumbles I had a very similar experience when I was really young, I will never forget jamming out and decorating the tree to “What Christmas Means to Me.” Ahhh Take me back.

[@mrwalker862]

I've heard various tracks from "Songs In The Key Of Life" over the years since it was first released. But it wasn't until 2004 that I heard it in its entirety from start to finish and it moved me to tears! That's what music is supposed to do! Move u! Touch u! Not just hear it, but feel it!

[@regalbeagle4306]

I listened to Songs in the Key of Life 4 times today and looked for an interview of this brilliant singer-songwriter and here he is saying this was his favorite.

[@Mpirefilms]

Stevie Wonder music should be playing in the streets. It would change everything instantly.

So many stars came out of Quincy Jones' universe; my favorite is James Ingram! @5:19 Take 6! @15:04 re Sandy Hook ... compare the facial expressions of the Aurora CO shooter James Homes to Adam Lanza's. In my opinion, you're looking at what they did with Sirhan Sirhan's mind he was a Christian Palestinian who never had an opinion on AG Robert Kennedy!

If y’all don’t kno Denzel Washington is playing the role of Stevie wonder he is wearing a mask if y’all can’t tell do your research

[@QueenAlexis556]

I'd LOVE to see that! And bet Denzel would do a great job playing Stevie Wonder

[@carloscarion1748]

Segregating the black from the white in a blind classroom is not only racist but it’s very cruel and it doesn’t really mean anything to the children being segregated, moreover who it really means something ,is the person doing the segregating because they are the ones actually experiencing the so-called “pleasure”of seeing that happened so that’s probably a good example of the most self-indulgent racist behavior

"They showed me the film..." well that explains a lot

[@ronniemoon57]

It says that there are more ways to see than just the physical eyes. That's what it says.

[@user-ne9hg1lu3g]

The one thing I never understood is how blind people can talk if they can't see.

[@vegeta1885]

Weak bait

[@deeetheqt]

张裕特质三鞭酒 if you close your eye , can you still talk? ..

You are stuck in stupidity.

Do you know someone who talks with their eye's?? Smfh

[@ronniemoon57]

Sightlessness DOES NOT affect any of the other senses.

[@xrpjr2126]

I watched the video and it shows Stevie Wonder is not really blind he caught something that only a sighted person could see 👻👻👻

[@tulayamalavenapi4028]

Hehehe! I liked how he told Larry, "good to see you again" ....

[@stuandfriends]

I wish all black people were more like Stevie not making a big deal of what happened a long time ago I understand some of them went through it but the people that are usually making a big deal about it never had to go through it!

[@haydenyoung8618]

bro what

[@stuandfriends]

Hayden young black people today make a bigger deal about racism than black people did when it was way worse

[@dontaejenkinsii8908]

Because the system that was still set up in place that not only hurt the people before us but is still in place hurting us we have lost mothers and fathers to that system that could have put or generations farther behind then they should have been thats why.

[@ronniemoon57]

@Ruben Bergqvist Haeffner And the reason for that, for the most part, is that we're are allowing it to happen.

Thus BLM but what are the odds?
