this song reminds me of that one song Madonna did, which people hardly metion. Something about 'I want you to want me the way that I want you'

but yeah, I agree with harlepolis, his music isnt good. I only like the mamma said album really. there after is garbage.

Love that song and video! Thank God for youtube. That video is dope!!!!!

Lenny is awesome. People hate too much on him. And to the person who only has his greatest hits, it's worth getting some of his other cd's.

"5" is the best, "Mama Said" a close second, but "Are You Gonna Go My Way" and "Circus" are really great as well. I've been listening a lot to "Circus" lately cuz I kinda slept on that one in the past but it's actually really damn good.

Never heard that song, it must be from the Lenny album (which I promptly took back to the store) yawn

That net shirt contraption was unforgiveable, but the red one was cute.

The thing about Lenny is he better come w/ some good lyrics/arrangement or he can kiss it goodbye. His voice isn't all that listenable so w/ a weak track & so so lyrics, all the models in the world can't save the video or the song.

At least he got some of his sense back on Baptism... some of it lol

The best song on a really lacklustre album. "Lenny" is his worst IMO.

I love all Lenny but I will say that Baptism is pretty weak

Back to the thread topic, there are many dark, moody songs he's done:

More Than Anything In This World
All I Ever Wanted
Be
Fields of Joy

GREAT song! Lenny is one of my fav artist's EVER. I love the dude.!
Let's go down 2 the holy river,
If we drown then we'll be delivered.
If we don't then we'll never see the light.
If U die before U try,
U'll have 2 come back and face the light.
When U believe it, U got a good reason 2 cry.

Baptism has a few good cuts on it (Minister of Rock 'N Roll, Where Are We Runnin', Storm, Sistamamalover) but the rest is whofarted

I like Baptism - at least more than "Lenny" which is weak as shit.

Sistamamalover, Baptised, Lady, The Other Side... all great songs!

I like a couple too, quite a lot

Where Are We Runnin'?
I Don't Wanna Be A Star
Sistamamalover
Flash


however, I do think the thing where Jay-Z raps is hands down the worst piece of shit he's ever done!

I'd call 5 his best "digital" album, when he started giving it up to Pro Tools

and the best "analog" one was Mama Said

but each one (even Lenny and Baptism) has at least a good chunk of songs to pore over and appreciate
