#JanetJackson #TogetherAgain - Hudba
Fun fact: This was Janet’s ode to those lost to AIDS. It became an anthem for celebrating LIFE. So beautiful 😭
I am actually watching this after seeing that they are starting trial for HIV vaccine . I hope it works and we will not lose anyone else.
There is PrEP as well. It's been on the market for a while but it's a preventive pill that you can take to prevent getting hiv.

She lost a friend with Aids … This song is over him
Yes and it affected the way that I heard it. I lost countless friends to AIDS. I worked in a hospice. Each one shines on me.
This is how all funerals should be! A celebration of their life, legacy and essence. Remembering their presence by recreating it.
M a t s u i
I wish, I would die when my dreams and successes and missions are become reality.
If that would be real, and when I die, I would love a celebration instead of grief.
My very first thought
What a laugh
I had this played my husband's funeral.
facts
my mother would play this blasting through the speakers every saturday morning. I would wake up to this song and the smell of breakfast. we would clean the house together then do family things. my mother passed away almost 2 years ago. I miss her so much and love to be reminded of her love. this song does that for me.
I feel the same way! My mom introduced me to some of the best music and movies and it really helped me become the person that I’m today. Now I realize that she wanted me to realize how bitter sweet life is and to enjoy each moment. I’m very sorry for your loss my mom pasted almost 3 years ago. The only advice I can offer is to look beyond this life and to believe you will be United with her someday. That’s what I believe
❤❤
She’s a star shining down on you ❤️
@@viciousLUA :) this put a smile on my face. thanks for that
@@paradice6470 thanks for the kind words. im sorry for your loss as well. i believe ill see her again also, but not yet...not yet...
I really love this song so much. Rest In Peace to all the loved ones we’ve all lost. One day we will be together again.
If you didn't get goosebumps when that beat dropped, were you even apart of this era?
I lost my daughter march 2020 she was 39, I play this when I am paralyzed with grief. Thank you, Janet, This video has helped me so much knowing "we'll be together again"
❤️
My condolences
🙏🏾
I'm so sorry..... Please read this, I pray this brings peace and of course, hope : www.jw.org/en/library/books/dead-live-again-tract/dead-live-again/
I am so sorry for your loss. 🧡
I lost my twins in 2015 (stillborns), and then I lost their dad in 2021. This song just helps. Can't say it makes it better or easier.. it just helps. Thank you, Janet.
I'm so sorry. May the lord shower you with love.
I m so sorry you suffered such tremendous losses. This song is one of my favorites - always lifts my mood🦋💜🦋💜
I am so sorry. None of us who have lost loved ones can say we know what others feel when they lose those they love. Every loss is unique and yours is so profoundly sad. God Bless you. always.
So sorry dear Marie! Sending hugs for you.
Thank you all for your kind words 💖💖💖
I listened to this song for the first time in 1997. It's 2022 and it still gives me chills as if it were the first time. Masterpiece!
Heard it a few minutes ago on XM Radio... Instantly took me back down memory lane 💕
Same here
Yup ‼️‼️‼️💕💕💕🤗
Junior high here I come...again haha!
Same here, but I never heard this song for years. Then few day ago, I found Facebook video using this song as background, bring back those 90's memories. I dont even remember the title, I just googled "everywhere I go 90's song".
There are times
When I look above
And beyond

There are times when I look above and beyond
There are times when I feel your love around me, baby

Hey, it's about you, baby
Look deeper inside you, baby
Dream about us together again
What I want, us together again, baby
I know we'll be together again, 'cause
Everywhere I go

Always been a true angel to me, now above
I can't wait for you to wrap your wings around me, baby
(Wrap them around me, baby)
Ooh, wrap them around me, baby
(Wrap them around me, baby)
Sometimes hear you whisperin'
No more pain
No worries will you ever see now, baby

Thank you, I was looking for this comment

She wrote this for a friend that died from aids and some of the $ made from the song went to aids reserch

Awesome research 💕

@@fadeline Same!

This song makes me cry. My cousin and I grew up listening to Janet. This year I lost her to cancer. This song reminds me of her and the lyrics just make me cry. It has a deeper meaning to me now. I miss you Melissa but we'll be together again.
My condolences to you. I lost my mom to cancer back in May 2021 She was 52. Listening of the lyrics now it makes me miss her even more.
sending love
my condolences i am so sorry to hear👂 that😔🙏🏾♥️
How an upbeat song can make me burst in to tears.
novamente assustando gente
Dear god I miss the 90's.
Me too. I use to miss the 80s a lot but now the feeling is just as strong for the 90s
Truly, it aches when thinking back of how awesome and easy life was in hindsight.
I truly miss 90's👍🏽
@Anabolic Camel I'm workin' on it! Until then, Yootoob is your time machine!
I miss the 80s 😁
I lost my cousin on 9/29/20 due to gun violence, we buried her yesterday and today this song came to mind when I thought of her. I feel that she is ok and at peace, this song was definitely heaven sent. ❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss! ❤
Its only after several years that I realized this was a song about our departed love ones. Made me cry disecting every word. "i can't wait for you to wrap your wings around me" ...best line.
I only knew it today
I realized in this moment because of the comments. I listened the song in a program I was watching and came to find it again.

Here again after watching her documentary. I've always loved Janet but had no idea how much she had truly been through in her life but despite all the downs she's took on in her past she was still able to say "I don't regret any of it. It got me where I am today and God is just so good." Hearing this song while the credits rolled and remembering she lost her brother and her father had me in tears. I know they are so, so proud of her. As many of us are!
She comes across as very thankful and down to earth which is really quite amazing after such success which turns so many others into divas
She lost Michael in 2009. Janet released this song in 1997
vai valer a pena mano
I just lost my partner of 34 years to cancer and I will use this song at the end of his services. It was our dance song, we used to always make sure we danced to this song when played in clubs to remember the many friends we lost to AIDS. I love you and will miss you deeply Paul 💔
Dream about us together again
What I want, us together again, baby
I know we'll be together again.
Awwwwww, so sad and heartbreaking sending lots of love to you.
@@minawright4091 p0⁰⁰0⁰⁰
My darling, love to you both.
I lost my brother to AIDS and when I hear this, I think of him...and smile💕
So sorry for your loss. The pain is terrible I bet... but I'm glad you had that kind of love in your life! ❤
That smile though...she has the prettiest smile ever. She makes you feel like she gets you when she smiles.
I just lost my mom the day after Christmas and I heard this song and broke down. I miss her terribly but know I will see her again.
My angel was born May 15.2019. She shedded her earth suit on June 8th 2021. I don’t know how I’m still pushing thru but I can feel my daughter pushing me up and I know one day we will be together again ❤️

@Huhmongus now it's pranks and teen reality shows all day. ☹
@Huhmongus 😮
Yeah! I remember I used to love it. I'm from Spain and we could get the channel only via satellite. So for me was massive when my parents got it. All day long music videos , I could spend hours watching music videos, I remember Madonna videos and Janet and Michael Jackson videos ...we didn't have that in Spain and internet wasn't still commonly use. Mtv replaced cartoons for me after school :D

Thank you
You know Janet is just as talent as her late brother Michael! She fought really hard for people to see that! This song and other songs just show the talent.
This song is so special to me and it holds more than a few different meanings for me... The first is I didn't have a very good relationship with my biological mother and definitely was not a loving relationship with maternal energy and I never honestly got that from her no matter how much I wanted it and no matter how much I wanted my mom to love me, I really don't know if she ever did. I ended up saving her life at age 7 from a premonition I got while I was spending the night at my grandmother's down the street. You see when I was born she was diagnosed with lupus and immediately prescribed lortab and soma. I did not realize this sadly until I was 7:00 after I had saved her life so I had absolutely no reason to have the feeling I had that night as I had never seen her take a pill I did not know anything else. A feeling of there's something wrong with Mom just watched over me and would not leave me alone and I begged my grandmother for about 3 minutes to drive me to her because there's something wrong with her and I was having difficulty breathing along with the panic. So we get there and the door is locked and had to get a key from the landlord next door we get the key and we get in and find my mother new to aside from panties laying on the pull out in the living room motionless. So me and my grandma dragged her to the ground and immediately began CPR while I run to get the portable phone and call 911 they ended up pumping her stomach and giving her epinephrine to bring her back because we were unable to get her breathing again before she entered the ambulance. The doctor said that had I been much longer by a few minutes she could have been brain dead and even if she were able to be brought back she'd be a vegetable mentally. From that night on my life was never the same again our roles in our relationship have permanently reversed and I was now the parent and she the child. Overnight I had become an adult and was expected to have the responsibilities in adult has I was expected to cook clean and do everything and anything that she asked me to. I would wake up early at 5:00 do the quiet chores then go to school come home immediately clean up whatever mess she made that day n start dinner. Then at the end of the day if I had any energy or time I would do homework. I survived on little more than Adderall and juggled it all for years till I collapsed at school when I was 13 and admitted for the first of eight times to an inpatient facility for the treatment of depression anxiety and suicidal thoughts. There was no true mental institution where I live that accepted minors so I was put into a behavioral health hospital with a lot of bad kids who were there mainly because they were either violent or didn't listen to their parents or for some other reason like that. Trouble in school etc, it was something I felt shame over for many years, you tell someone you were placed an institution 8 times before your 16th birthday n now all of a sudden they look at you like you just told them you had murdered someone n start looking at you all crazy. In my personal opinion I think every single person on this planet has the ability to be crazy, to varying degrees. just some are crazier than others. We're are all just a little bit cray cray... But back to the point for this comment, whenever I was 12 I started seeing my dad on the weekends and the first time I spent the weekend I met a beautiful kind compassionate loving person named Tracye. It wasn't long till I asked to call her mom, n she said how bout Mama Tracye? So we hit it off so well. She was caring maternal loving warm sweet and treated me as if I was her biological child. She treated me like I mattered like somebody actually loves me unconditionally for once. I did not have to do anything to get her to love me, I never experienced that before. The only time my bio mom wanted anything to do with me was when she wanted something, n even then it was just till she got what she wanted. Another thing Tracy introduced me to was the concept of boundaries she loved me like I was her own son and made such a strong and positive impact in my life. Even if it was only for 3 years, she made the biggest impact on my life. She loved me and I loved her. She made me feel important, that somebody actually loved me. Because for years up to then I just thought it must be me, maybe I truly am unlovable. I use to think There was a reason why she abandoned me emotionally and that I must've done something to warrant such emotional n physical neglect. But there wasn't I can see n realize now. I watch back home movie's n I was the sweetest little boy. so nice, n polite. All I wanted was her love, n she didn't start giving it to me till after I met Tracye out of jealousy I suspect. Flash forward I'm 14 and something inappropriate happened between me and a family member while Tracye was asleep, *which at the time I felt was consentual however I was 14 n they were in their 40s so I couldn't possibly give consent* and was unaware in the house, n I told a counselor. But nothing happened, he didn't get in trouble because there was not enough evidence. That was the last time I ever saw her was that visit. About 6 months later I turned 15 and I got a call from Mama Tracye on march 19th wishing me happy birthday, n at some point in the call she asks me, is it true? N I said yes Mama its true, then I asked her when can I see you again? She said soon, but that that person was still coming around some and didn't think it was a good idea. So I told her I loved her and missed her and couldn't wait to hug her, she was big on hugs... That was the last time I ever spoke to her. Exactly 1 month later I was inpatient in oyc in Norman ok cuz southwestern behavioral health center was full in Lawton. SWBHC is where I was put 8 times for anxiety depression n suicidal thoughts. The time I was in OYC I had actually attempted suicide n had been hospitalized for it. While I was there I received a voicemail my family listened to informing me that Tracye was dead. She had been found on the floor nude and had been there for 5days. I was told by Tracye's 3 daughters step mother Rhonda. That it was an overdose. but the only drugs that were found in her system were ones that she had been taking for years and had built up a tolerance too there wasn't anything in her system that shouldn't have been there. n because I wasn't adopted by her n not related to her I couldn't go n get any records or any information. so after this conversation I never received any more information regarding her death. She showed me love when she didn't have to, she took an interest in me and always made me feel loved and wanted. if I hadn't had experienced those few years of unconditional love I know my life would have been much much darker than it is today. I am not saying she was a saint she had her issues. When she was a child of about 12 she got either ran over or in a tragic car accident that forced her to have over 30 surgeries to rebuild her legs and for pain they prescribed her Tylenol 3 with codeine and throughout the years she has had her bouts with addiction. As have I unfortunately.*when I was 13 and living with my grandparents I had been having terrible headaches, because my grandpa was a mean drunk when he would drink on the weekends and he would come in and terrorize us n wake everyone up at 2 or 3or 4to bitch at everyone and would do it for hours upon hours n it didn't matter if it were a school night or not, he didn't care. So at this point all three of them are prescribed some form of hydrocodone n soma, n I too was put on lortab 7.5 at age 13 by the same doctor for my migraines. I had already been taking Adderall since 7 n Ambien since 12 by then. After the first pill I was hooked the very next day I would wake up in withdrawal n was game over for me having any chance at not becoming an addict. To this day I am an addict however I can honestly say I have been sober since Dec 2015 by the grace of God, drag, my partner, n methadone. * Once she died I felt like It was my fault because had I just kept quiet and dealt with what happened by myself, then I could have been over there and prevented whatever it is that killed her. I miss er so much, I know she's at least in a better place n not hurting anymore
I love how she made it a fast tempo song. It's takes the sadness away from the song. Beautiful and brilliant! ♥️
I was just saying that also takes the pain away makes you it so much better
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis knew how to write and produce for her. Match made in heaven...
exactly. it's not a song of mourning, it's a celebration of life and legacy.
This sounds weird but it reminds a little of hillbilly banjo music is like that sometimes... Actually if anyone had a blue grass group... Tell me this wouldn't be just amazing... If you cover it put it up!
My thoughts exactly. Turning sadness into happiness. ♥️🎶
I don't care how up beat this song is...it still makes me cry from my soul!
Is there anything more beautiful than Janet Jackson's smile?
Sonic the Hedgehog for Master System and Game Gear, Bridge Zone.
Man of culture.
Plus Full House so someone needs to remix all three together.
OMG Full House can be one chorus and Together Again another than they are mashed together for the final one.

My boyfriend and I started out friends. I was 12 and he was 15. He became my boyfriend when I was 16 and he 19. We've been together for 11 years. 4 days ago I married him on his deathbed. 3 days ago I lost him to cancer.
It's very painful and I miss him so much. But this song gives me so much hope. I promised him I'll live my life to the fullest for him and for myself. So that when we meet each other again, I'll have so much to share to him. ❤❤❤
I love you Sen, this one's for you.
This was one of my favorite Janet songs as a kid. Tonight I asked Siri to play a Janet Jackson’s playlist and this comes on. I end up in full blown tears. It’s been 2 months since my grandma (as I call her my baby 🥺) I never truly understood the words until now. My heart is broken💔 but hearing this song makes me feel hopeful and somewhat joyful knowing that one day we will be together again 🌷Rest in paradise Sheila 💕🥺

Mine too! 🙌🏽
Happy Belated Birthday Miss J.J ❤️my dad was playing your songs whole day yesterday to celebrate your birthday 😘
2021 and still listening to this song. 🤗🎶 Who's with me? 😊
Janet was inspired to write this song by her own private discovery of losing a friend to AIDS, as well as by a piece of fan mail she received from a young boy in England who had lost his father.
Long before: Madonna's In This Life song in the honor of 2 of her gay friends - Martin Burgoyne and Christopher Flynn - she lost to AIDS
@@ginasousabranco5637 Well, both of them helped the LGBTQ community to get rid of the stigma of the society regarding AIDS. It doesn't matter who did first or so. Both Madonna and Janet has two different stories on how they experienced losing people because of HIV/AIDS.
@@ginasousabranco5637 never heard of it
@@ginasousabranco5637 no way you’re happy, leaving comments like this. try to meditate sometime.

Same 👍
Hell yeah
The opening of this video is epic, simply flawless,her big brother loved animals so much, it's like he died, came back an eagle, and is watching over her.
I Truly Appreciate how Janet expressed so eloquently her Love & Grief w/dance. A "Celebration of Life" is just That. There were So many that spoke ill of Michael: it broke my heart. He, along with The Jackson family contributed So much to the music industry. People have forgotten that... No matter what issues or Struggles one has in Life, you should Never Forget the Good they gave. Much Love Still and Prayers to the Jackson family and All who Loved them. Peace
I love how Janet & Michael’s songs encouraged love with positive energy !! ❤️😍🤩❣️
Janet, Thank GOD for You...I have always dedicated this song to my Brother " Warren Pooh Bear", who passed in 1999 ( My Best Friend) but I just lost my other and older Bro' last year 2019 " DJ T-Quest, who was literally THE GREATEST DJ EVER!!! This song is For My Bros, I miss and LOVE Them like I can't explain...This song is for anyone who has loss a love-one @nd can't wait till that Heavenly reunion!!!! Thanks Janet, I just love You and all You do!!!!!
It's the craziest thing.... 🥺💔🤍
Late 90s... When this song was popular on the radio, my childhood and life long best friend, who was basically like my sister, and I rented a VHS camcorder from RadioShack or somewhere similar and would tape/record ourselves singing and just being silly.. We were around 13 years old at the time.. Well, on our way to return the video camera, my BFF, Amanda, was riding in the backseat, I was in the front seat recording her (my mom was driving) and *THIS* song was playing.. The very last thing I recorded on my VHS tape (that I actually still have to this day, thankfully!! 🙏💕) is Amanda singing this song, looking at me and into the camcorder, with a big, beautiful smile on her face. And then.. that was the end of our VHS video tape together.
Fast forward a decade. We're now 23. Thanksgiving 2007. Of course we're still BFF's. Sisters forever. 🤍 But on that dark and cold night out in the country on back roads, my sister was traveling to her boyfriends house and just barely shy of a couple of short miles left to go, her car hit black ice and it spun wildly out of control.. If that wasn't scary enough for her, there just so happened to be an oncoming car in which literally came out of nowhere also on that lonely stretch of country road late at night at the absolute worst possible moment...
What were the odds..
Seriously.
If anyone who may ever read this (which most likely won't be anyone), if you only knew how much of a freak accident this truly was.. My incredible, priceless, most amazing best friend and sister.. After hitting that invisible black ice and losing control of her car, I know for a fact that, despite her absolute best efforts as well as trying as she might to quickly, yet as safely as possible, get her grip back on her car in hopes to get it under control once again....
But heartbreakingly, there was just too much black ice covering her side of the road in which she unfortunately just couldn't see and very sadly... Tragically, slammed head on with the only other sole vehicle on the road that night.
She was so close to her boyfriends house. So close, in fact, that he heard the wreck when it happened. Of course he had no idea Amanda was the one who was involved in it.. Not until the time kept ticking by and he just got that gut feeling, especially because he *knew* Amanda should have already made it to his house by then.
The driver of the other car was killed instantly. His 3 passengers survived, but not without critical injuries.
And well....
Amanda. 🤍
My sweet, most cherished and priceless friend that, to this very day, try as they might, no one could ever compare. Amanda was miraculously still alive when the paramedics, EMTs, police, ambulances, firetrucks, etc. all arrived. But that wasn't going to cut it. Amanda had multiple head injuries. Both of her legs were crushed and shattered and one of her arms was broken. There really was no telling what kind of damage may have been done to her insides/vital organs, but they knew one thing for sure... Amanda wasn't getting any oxygen. She ended up being lifeflighted to a larger, very well known trauma center hospital an hour away. The doctors, surgeons, nurses, anyone and everyone who worked there that could help try and save her, did so nonstop throughout the night. But there was just far too much trauma and damage for Amanda's tiny, petite body to be able to handle. She didn't survive the long, grueling night of surgery. 😔💔
Fast forward several years....
While going through things one day in the process of moving,, I came across some really old VHS tapes. I thought, eh what the heck. I'll look through them real quick. I enjoy memory lane now and then of course. 🙂 And to my surprise, I find Amanda's and my super old VHS tape that we made way back in the late 90s! I was so stoked! Yet it also felt so bitter sweet. Though by now, I didn't have anything to play it on. I searched high and low for a VHS player to no avail. Crazy enough, the video ended up sitting idle in a special place for another year or so until finally I was gifted a VHS player. I was so happy to finally be able to watch this video! And oh boy, what CRINGE!! What the heck were we thinking?! 😂🤣
And then it came.
Here we are, nearing the end of the video. In the car, on our way to go return our camcorder rental. Amanda sitting in the back seat, I'm in the front passengers seat, and my mom's the chauffeur. We're jamming out to music as per usual and then...
This beautiful, uplifting song starts playing on the radio. We start singing. I focus the camcorder on my BFF. She has the most brightest and biggest smile...
Oh Amanda. Who would have ever thought that recording those very *final* moments with you literally looking directly at me while singing this beautiful song about loved ones in Heaven and that being the very last I thing that I would ever recorded on that VHS tape before the song slowly faded out and the VHS tape going dark.
God knew. We didn't. This has always brought so much comfort to me. I still find it unbelievable at times that that's how the video ended. It's just like... Idk. God knew I'd need that come the time decades later.
Anyways. That's my story of my angel sister and how special this song is to me and why and how much it means to me. Always and forever. 🎵 🤍😇
Everywhere I go, every smile I see
I know you are there, smilin' back at me
Dancin' in moonlight, I know you are free
'Cause I can see your star, shinin' down on me..
🙏👭 BFF's/Sisters.. Always and forever.
To be able to make a song that would otherwise be sad, upbeat & joyous is brilliance. Love the video!!!This song will always make me cry with joy from the bottom of my soul!!❤❤❤
When l see Janet l always miss Michael Jackson
I don't see Janet standing in MJ's shadow since she had her own spotlight. The Jackson family is really a talented family.
And I miss michael jackson too.......
I miss him to😭😢😥
We missed him so much too! A fan here from the Philippines.
@@zackzallie8735 I think we all agree with that. I think he means physically, they looked a looot alike, which makes us remember Michael and miss him. 🥺❤️❤️👑
This video always makes me happy. Very colorful, the dance is contagious
The first opening song on the first ever “NOW! That’s What I Call Music!” compilation CD’s. 💿
In 4K plz
Ugh I just love this video the choreo, cinematography, AFRICA just so beautiful
Yes
I can’t imagine anyone disliking this. Apparently they don’t understand the song.
The dislikes are from the BTS, Justin fckng bieber And mumble rap fans.
This song embodies everything I love about music in one song. My favorite song ever. ♥️🙏🏼🎶
I listen to this pretty much all day on my brothers birthday, he was killed in 2017. I finally found a song that doesn’t put me in a bad mood but allows me to remember him
God bless you & your brother ❤️
A r m
I'm so sorry for your loss!
i hope your brother is happy in heaven...
Bless
This video never gets old...Rest in peace Dad, Michael Jackson, George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland & Ahmaud Arbery
Michael Jackson I can agree with, but all the other people aren't even worth a mention.🤦♀️
@@keelyleilani1326 why?
@@larax6116 they have nothing to do with Janet Jackson or any of her friends or family therefore the song pretty much has nothing to do with them. They weren't necessarily great people either. I mean should I dedicate this video to people like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Chairman Mao just because they happen to be dead?Well certainly not I would think.....🤦♀️
@@keelyleilani1326 uhm but they got murdered just because they were black. Do you think that's OK?
black lives matter, my friend
@@larax6116 I'm Brazilian and have African blood in my DNA so I have nothing against blacks, but these people were not good, upstanding citizens. George Floyd had a history of beating women and other unsavory things. Sure the media brushes all that conveniently under the rug, but it is true. Do some research on the background of these individuals before you exalt them to such a high status please.
Lost my mom to cancer May 2019 this song is a constant reminder, hug your Children/Parents let them know you love and appreciate them before it's too late. Forever wish I could meet my mother again so I could tell her what she meant to me.
Yes every moment counts that is true! Life is so fragile and precious. I’m forever changed after my mom pasted in April 2018 I just won’t be the same. Life will always be bitter sweet for me. I’ll cry when I get married I’ll cry when I give birth to my first child and see that child grow up. I’m fortunate though I have a incredible father still and he found someone awesome. So she’s like a second mom to Me. I just live in the moment a lot more then I ever did. It does make you think it really does.
Blessings to you
Lost my Mum to cancer too in 2018. I Never took time to read the lyrics but once I did, I shed a tear thinking this song made hier lost easier to cope. Stay strong mate 👍
How can a dance masterpiece like together again about death and loss but sung with hope and rejoice not be seen by more people. Her voice is pure angelic bliss and the world needs to catch up. This is real music ....it makes me dance and it brings tears to my eyes. That is music that transcends. It hits your heart and uplifts your spirit. Thank you Janet. 💜🙏🫂
thanks for this 😊 Janet's team should amplify her presence in CZcams by uploading all her music videos. I know it is tedious with all the copyrights and legalities, but I guess it is possible. Gosh, This music video is a work of art and doesn't get the praises it deserves 💔
Thank you Janet for your love of Africa.
@Angel Johnson are you implying that there was no Africa in 1999?
@Tiisetso Phahlang this made me chuckle 🙈
Elin Wa lol. The crazy things we are subjected to just for the mere mention of Africa appreciation by a celebrity, it is like we are not supposed to appreciate ourselves
@@titi5664 Yea it's scary to be honest.
The video was shot in the Serengeti area of Tanzania in 1997.
This song got me through some my hardest days. I was 10 when I lost my best friend/cousin in a drowning. I’ve lost many since then and this song always makes me smile.
I love everything about this song and all that it stands for. My personal favorite Janet tune. 🔊🎶♥️
This SONG is so emotional and beautiful, one of her best....💖
I just thought this was a glamorous and an elegant song. I had no idea that this was a sad song. 😢
Not really sad, but a soothing remembrance song
@@paolopasaol9700 okay
It's only sad if you make it that way. When I first saw this video in 1997 it never came off as anything sad or depressing. The second single off the Velvet Rope album called I Get Lonely is a much sadder sounding song.
@@keelyleilani1326 okay
I was obsessed with her outfits and jewelry in this video (especially the septum ring) when I was little . I would make sure to watch it whenever it was on TV!
Today is the two-year anniversary of my dear old friend Jackie’s passing.
I have this very strong memory from 1997. I just bought the cassette single of Together Again earlier that day. I picked her up to go out and she was so happy when I handed her this tape. She ripped it open and popped it into the tape player. We blasted that song so loud and sang it with all of our hearts. I will literally never forget that moment. Love you Jackie. ❤️
This song just makes me think of my King Michael Jackson. "I know you are free, cos I can see your star, shining down on me!" 👑🙏😇💗😍
Deep
Yes
I immediately think of MJ ❤
@@theweaselplays beautiful 😍
"Dancing in Moonlight" Yeah that sounds like MJ
Brings tears to my eyes this song is so beautiful and her voice, I love Janet!!!!
Oh Janet your an angle you make my soul sing god blesss you.
I lost my Best friend my Mom in the beginning of the year on January 6th.....I needed a song to play for her...and Janets song Together Again came to me and I'm so happy that she made this for Everyone who lost a Loved ones at least We all can relate together with this song.....I miss you Mom we will be home together
Quem está aqui por causa do Now United???
Uniters?
Kkk
Euzinha aqui ✋
Oi eu
Euuu aqui
I get emotional and think of all my loved ones and angels looking over me when I hear this song💙💙Much love to the QUEEN
I saw her in concert in 2011 in Los Angeles, she played this as a tribute to Michael. I glanced over to her family in the audience. Katherine and Jermaine were watching. It was a beautiful moment to share this tribute with them.
😘↗Another TOP FAVORITE'S of mine by Janet Jackson's that I use to play on repeat playing importance in my life.😚↗ I sooo 💘 loved 💘 dancing 💃 to the listed as oldies; but, still a goodies years later to choose to enjoy to sing and or 💃 💃💃 dance to.👌↗ Word 🆙 ; I sooo love😘😘😘 love the words of sign language coming from out of Janet Jackson sooo beautiful, by her beautiful heartfelt singing voice.↗Together Again's definitely a favorite's of mine by Janet Jackson.😘↗Love & Respect to a top singer/singing queen/Janet Jackson for sharing her BEAUTIFULNESS that plays importance in my life.
The look. The dancing. The backtrack. 👌
She's got a gorgeous smile 😍
Don’t think that Janet isn’t one of greatest artist of all time. She didn’t have the vocals of Whitney but her catalog is absolutely incredible. She popped in 86 with Control and had hits into 2000s. Think about how many artists came and went during that time. Plus she was the hottest woman on earth for about a decade too
Buenos recuerdos, una buena etapa de mi vida, estamos en otra época y no regresará jamás, me quedo con el recuerdo....
One of the greatest video/song of all times. PERIOD.
There Is One Janet Jackson The Real Talent In The Jackson Family,
This song is such a great gift to those we've loved and lost. When we meet again, this is what we'll sing and dance to.
Truly Beautiful Song. Thanks Ms Jackson.
id vote her in as prettiest women in the world with a angelic voice shows gods handy work including the animals hope you make it to heaven would love to see you there
I remember being little and obsessed with this. Then 20 years passed and here I am again. Life is beautiful 😊
same
You're so right
Very over shadowed by Michael. Very talented family. Love 💘 ❤ Janet and this is my favourite video of hers. You go Janet. Lots of love xx
I had to think about this but I don't really believe she was overshadowed by her brother insomuch as everyone else was at the same period. I think she would've had the same level of acclaim with or without her brother being their which is appropriate to her level of talent.
When I think of being overshadowed, I think of Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant. Tim arguably had better stats but Kobe is way more famous and loved than Tim.
This song and album shaped my life
Thats amazing
How so?
Keita Alston there’s too much too talk about
Keita Alston please dm me
Coming out, I knew the story of her hiv friend
If it weren't for this damn coronavirus, we'd be together again literally right now in concert! I had my heart set on this damm thing since February. It was a b day present to myself. I'm trying really hard not to be depressed about this.
This album is one of her best
found this randomly on my Spotify today. i totally forgot about this song up until now but i love it!
The Velvet Rope is so overlooked within the greatest albums of ALL TIME, yet it influenced many modern rnb artists today. One of my favorite albums ever. ^^
The Velvet Rope was itself inspired by Madonna's Erotica
That's false.
Janet Jackson was inspired by events going on in her life and her own personal depression.
Also this album influenced beyond R&B but like every sphere of music that played on the radio post 98.
@@ginasousabranco5637 nope
Janet Jackson's biggest hit! Sold 6 million copies worldwide
And now it is sung to only Michael.
Janet's most beautiful song is THAT'S THE WAY LOVE GOES!!!
i lost my friend due to cancer back in 2020 and i couldn’t say goodbye to him for the very last time but this song brings me happiness as i always feel his presence next to me :)
Everytime i hear this song, i cry. I miss my grandma and grandpa...
I remember when this song debuted and it still is like "wow". I always liked Janet's artistic musical contribution to our era 😉
Has anyone ever noticed the similarities between this and Rihanna's - Where have you been?
Im literally crying listen to this, is so Beautiful, can’t imagine the pain of loosing friends in such a young age
I bet we use to run with Wild cats once upon a time in Africa like The Natives were connected communicating with Eagles and Deer..
*Smiling down on me*
JANET JACKSON🖤GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS..❤️
I love that what JJ sung it reminds me of my Mother I love her so much
