Lyrics:
There's only so many songs that I can sing to pass the time.
And I'm running out of things to do to get you off my mind (oh whoa).
All I have is this picture in a frame (oh ah),
that I hold close to see your face everyday.
With you is where I'd rather be,
but we're stuck where we are.
It's so hard, you're so far..
This 5 Miles To Empty is killing me.
I wish that you are here with me,
but we're stuck where we are
it's so hard, you're so far..
This 5 Miles To Empty is killing me.
It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are, you're so far.
This 5 Miles To Empty is killing me.
It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are, you're so far
(so hard, so hard, where we are, where we are, your so far).
This 5 Miles To Empty is killing me. - Hudba
❤❤ 2024 Who's listening?
Right now !
Right now,Milano Italy 😉
Me honty❤
Yep, here in the UK
Right now, Nairobi, Kenya.
They sounded like a whole choir !!! 🔥
Damn skippy
I was literally just about to type that and I see that as the first comment 😄
Michael knew vocalists when he heard them!! 🫡
Indeed 😅❤❤❤❤
It's nothing like the 90s R&B! Those were the days! Who's still listening in 2024!
The only girl group with only three (3) members that sounds like the entire Brooklyn Tabernacle choir damn!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is exactly why I love this song 🤣
For me, personally, when it comes to vocals -- it goes:
#1 *En Vogue*
#2 *Brownstone*
#3 *Jade*
@@iampauseI’d put brownstone over en vogue in the vocals section
I miss the 90s.
Me too #Everyday
me 2
only people who don't are these new young clowns
Kupidzheart careful now I am a 90s baby and some us "young clowns" love this type of music and understand it clearly I know I do I have a old soul and I listen to stuff mostly from the 60s to like 2007 or 08 music
Chris Sullins i feel you my dude i miss the 90's every day i wake. These kids today don't have any idea what living free is with the way technology changed everything and it's sad to see it knowing our generation grew up in a better time
Surpasses “if you love me” as their best song
One of the best songs done by a 90s female outfit.Brownstone nailed it here.The whole arrangement of this song is insane.
They nailed that entire album. I still play it…

MICHAEL’S GIRL GROUP!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was Micheal Jackson's Group .They were signed to his label
When Michael Jackson brought these ladies together, chile he know what he was doing!
+lilanie p. Yes he did I wish MJ held on to his record company for a little while longer the man knew how to pick some talent.
Michael Jackson brought them together?
+Christopher Shannon NO! They were just signed to his MJJ record label. They were already a group.
+Lateshia Childs right. if MJ couldn't pick talent, nobody could.
lilanie p. didn't know Micheal Jackson brought Dem together. oh my..great job!
These girls could bring a dead man back to life with those voices...
True
I know they brought a lot of broken hearts back to life!
Voices are Awesome!
Yes RIP to Maxee
I thought i was the only one
Seriously
That “ hurry, hurry, quick, quick” takes me all the way there!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Me too!!!!!!!!!
You think this gives you chills? Go search : Quiet Storm 1997 WBLS , this is the fourth or third track, it’s playing while you see arises views of NYC in 1997 (with Twin Towers) ..chillls bro
Everytime
Yes!!!❤❤❤❤
It's the fiiiiive-miiiles till eeeeempty for me
After all of these years, this song still hits hard.
They sound like whole damn choir 🙌🏼
I want to sound like that😍
ikr
Word!
Jay'Rell 4Real
That's what I've been saying for years. They sound like more than three women.
Jay'Rell 4Real Lol
I used to love the way they sounded on that chorus. They sound like a full choir. R.I.P. Charmayne.
Isnt that something how it always sounded like more than 3 people. Wow.
Yes
I used to say the same thing I was like here is that choir group again, lol
Hi.LaCheleWallace...which one of these women died & the cause? I saw them a long time ago & they were the TRUTH! Thanks.
rickames Hi. Maxee.
This whole album was fire. They got overlooked, there was a lot of talented R&B female singer/groups in the 90’s
The harmony on this track is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽. Still rocking in 2022😍.
Well said fabulous song
You took the words from my heart 💓. Timeless song and outstanding singing. Real RnB
Total respect to the old time singers who didn't have to expose there private parts like the ones of today who call themselves singers
Facts
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Sounding like a darn choir!!! Absolutely beautiful.
All them damnn vocals so on. Point yess so beautiful, powerful.
The vocals are stacked
Yessss
I was thinking the exact same! Lol. Lovely song 🎵
Yes. The song is heavily produced. It sounds like they put Nicci in the back of the room and she yelling her part of the harmony and is the loudest. And that's a compliment. She was really the standout. Her voice was strong, powerful and heavy.
Them vocals are insane. Talent like this don't exist anymore, these girls actually opens their mouths and sing.
Yes lol.
It does exist they just don't get chose. The mainstream be on that bs
don't you mean "SANG" LoL
Phyllis Dee. fgf
The way they recorded their background vocals were INSANE!
R&B missed the boat with this one. Phenomenal artistry.
My Gawd ...they vocals are flawless... That hook doe..
This group sound is off the hook.
YASSSSSSS !
Yesss , one of my favorites 🥰♥️🙏🏾
Hurry hurry quick quick
R.I.P Charmayne Maxena "Maxee" Maxwell died on February 27, 2015 at age 46
Founded in Los Angeles, the singers met each other after attending various auditions around the city. They formed the group and were signed to Michael Jackson's MJJ Music record label less than a year later.
She died by falling on a drinking glass that shattered and cut her throat? WTF?
Wow. RIP.
@@finisher3x very sad.. 1 in a 10000

Yes I miss this, I'm so glad we can come to CZcams for some lyfe ☺
You can feel that passion 🔥
Still don't understand how did this album didn't do well in the market. You can't skip a track from this album
the album wasnt promoted right.
Poor management
at the time there were too many black girl groups in the market. They couldnt compete w EnVogue, SWV, Xscape and TLC
Marketing failed them...
@@umamizaddy
Their voices KNOCK em all out the box !
Growing up I heard my mum play this song loads and only realised the lyrics when I was grown....now I'm here in my 40s healing from love and listening to it❤️🩹 RIP MUM
Bless up.
🙏🏽
Yesssss!!!
She's in a better place. Plz keep your heads up. GOD BLESS YOU 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 ✨️
May Her Soul Rest In Peace!

Ain't it now!!!...Seems like the last era in Black music where real musical knowledge and TALENT were a requirement!

Sadly, we have probably seen the end.
Max’s voice was so unique. Beautiful. Rest easy angel.
There voices are so strong and powerful like, how does a trio sound like a 20+ choir? Harmonies are tight af. RIP to Charmayne "Maxee" Maxwell
Her death was so sad and tragic! May she continue to R.I.P. 🙏🏾
It's called echo effect... but they didn't really need it ... studio magic
@@ahulin49I don't think it's an audio plugin by itself. They sound like this on multiple tracks.
Michael Jackson said that’s why he signed them too
I say the same thing. They sound like a Gospel choir singing. My favorite Female R&B Group.
WHO'S GOING INTO 2020 LISTENING TO THIS INSANE TRACK? SOUNDS JUST AS GOOD AS IT DID IN '97...DAMN...
💕
I am 👌🏾👌🏾
Yes in deed!
For some reason I thought this song came out in the early 90s.
Just realizing that SHIT , IM GETTING OLD!!!!! 90s were so so sweet!!! Love it!!
2:00- Nicci come THROUGH with that attitude, that swagger, and dem vocals!
I want the 90's to come back.
Hell yeah me too
na
80s too.
Both
Unfortunately we can not buy time...
But we can invest in it...
Brownstone can out sing Destiny's Child all day everyday.......
This is not up for debate.........
Destiny's Child.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂...those jokers....
I 2ND THAT EM0TION
The 90's were so talent rich. Destinys Child would've gotten swallowed up.
And that’s not even mentioning evoke, swv and kut close
No. It’s not. Not even DC would question it.
they need an unsung episode!!!
carolki13 I agree Unsung need to get on this!!!
Most Definitely and long overdue!
Yes, you said it. TV One should have had that episode long time ago. If they have that episode, I hope they dig deeper into Charmayne's death and do a better job than the police did.
@@pansysgarden a blood sacrifice. Her husband knows.
It would not be the same without Charmayne input
I'm impressed about how Michael Jackson always had his ear to the streets. He loved hip hop and he discovered great R&B talent like Brownstone.
MJ always kept it real
Period Mike is a true king !
Question: did he discover anyone else? I only knew of Brownstone he discovered. Were there any other groups or solo artists?
@@MelaninCosplay Quo. But the less said about them the better. One half of this duo is currently in a legal fight with the Jackson estate due to those sexual abuse allegations he was facing since the 90s.
@@3boodae749 Oh woooow. Okay, I didn't know that. I hate to hear that. Thank you for letting me know.
RIP Maxee! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I can’t believe how much time has passed. This song stirs emotions and these women were so in tune melodically. Jesus!!!! I love people that can sing like this.🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
rip Maxi singin first lead
Andrea Eubanks yes beautiful soul
Speechless ....one of the best single heard eva!!!!
Godspeed.
She blows like no other
Michael Jackson discovered this group... 💞
Nikki Dawkins right I never knew that awwwwww that's amazing
Didn't know Michael Jackson discovered them
R u sure !?
Nikki Dawkins. I can see that . Mike had that ear.
Nikki Dawkins Signed them. Discovered by someone else.Just after meeting and 👂 them from the jump.. MJ knows RIP to both CM & MJ..
R.I.P. Charmayne Maxwell
Ms. Maxee, rest in Heaven ❤️❤️ Who was that fine man loving up on her in this video?
This song makes me wanna worship. They got that good church sound.
This is my favorite brownstone song! Glad I grew up on this kind of music!
Its a close second for me. I can't tell you why is my stuff.
Me too!
me too. i don't hear music like this anymore.
Marie Chanel chigomnoe.adpackpro-international.com
Lookingoodat38 Agreed..these ladies could blow
Sisters voices were on point... back grounds behind that lead...feeding off each other..that sounds great 👍👍👍😃
LAWWD! This song still gives me goosebumps!! Please come back 1990s😢
❤😢 right
Right 😢
Still pain my heart hearing this song and reminiscing on the love my ex and i shared in and around this time of the 90"s😢😢😢
Agree those were the days before social media and it was better because we were cool with people and put the music on and we came together with food and alcohol and we got along. We could not go wrong when we put on song after song!
No fake bodies just actual amazing vocals and all of them are attractive 👍🏾🙌🏾
And that how it was in the 90s. No era can touch it
2020, So, so, True!!
The curly head one has a very tragic story..a very tremendous loss 😢 💔
Preach
Fake noses
Michael Jackson signed this group, which proves the talent they have..RIP..Maxine
Did she pass before this video? She was a beautiful soul
@@cyrillewis9606 This video was done in 1997. She passed away in 2015. May she R.I.P
@@cyrillewis9606 that's a dumbass question...if she passed before the video, she wouldn't have been in it...😒😒😒
@@kevinlee3572
Damn chill bruh
@@kevinlee3572 😂😂😂😂😂! Hey now. Be nice.
These queens can BLOW!
Jon B orginally wrote and co produced this. This song was orginally for Destiny Child 1997 debut album. However Beyonce dad Mr knowles and dark child passed on it. Brownstone took it and Jon B produced the hell out of this!
They did it justice. D.child could never have pulled it off like these ladies did
Originally, as in someone else took the credit right?
I don't see how that is possible as Nicci wrote the lyrics and Big Yam with Victor Merritt produced it.
Maybe a similar song, but not this song.
No Jon B I heard the story on vhi behind the music.
I think Nicci re co wrote with Jon B however he was producing this for destiny child 97 debut album.
These ladies sound like a choir!!!! Love them!!! RIP Maxee, whom I share a birthday with (along with Mary J Blige and Kim Coles). Your vocals were off the charts!!!
Aww which one is maxee
@@mskweenie860 The lovely lady who sing the 1st verse
Yeah, MJ too...
Such a great song. I get chills every time I hear this banger.
How the hell does two backup singers sound like a damn choir ? Their vocals are crazy lol
ATMX17 Right! When I first heard this song and I didn't know who it was and could barely make out the words I was typing up "choir that sings miles to empty" I didn't know the name or that Brownstone sung it. Lol
🤣🤣🤣💀
I Kno that's right!!
ATMX17 It's the richness in the voice..
Natisha Kamara pure talent
You can, spare me all your sorry details, had enough of all you lies and my silent cries ....good God ❤
Every time I hear this song I just smile. Because music like this just takes me back to a time where everything was okay. Thank you Michael Jackson for this amazing group. RIP king of Pop music.
Still can't believe Charmayne “Maxee” is gone. Terrible way to go :(
+tazem81 Especially given that it was her THROAT, her greatest instrument. RIP&Honor.
+tazem81 check out zeebo89 maxee tribute
tazem81 how she die
Aminah A Her husband murdered her. Tried to pass it off as an accident. Nobody falls on glass and cuts their throat. They had a history of domestic violence. He literally got away with murder. Nothing in this world will ever make me believe that was accidental. I'm still heartbroken...
Increased Standards she didn't deserve to die like that. She was one of the nicest persons ever
NICCI'S VOICE IS AMAZING..SHE KILLS HER HIGH NOTES...
I’m a 97 baby…& still to this day…goodness..grateful I grew up in this era…real music..real r&b…❤️🫶🏽
Rest in peace Maxi. She was my favorite member of Brownstone. In my opinion, she quietly had the most beautiful voice in the group.
5miles to empty....and no twreking involved..luv this music.
Amen. I miss those days when it about the music and not about shaking their butts. The 90s at its best right here.
Scadaeshus Yells it’ll be hard to twerk to this slow song lol
That's because it's real singing!!all the way live!!
The real deal always
😊⁰😊⁰😊😊😊😊😊⁰@@pansysgarden
RIP CHARMAYNE. GONE BUT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. 😘😘😘😘
Beautiful R.I.P Charmayne Maxee Maxwell🙏🏾🤎
Flawless beauties with angelic voices. One of the best female R&B groups of the 90's. I believe SWV is great also.
RIP Charmayne Maxwell, she always possessed a unique alto voice in Brownstone & "5 Miles To Empty" definitely showcased her talent!!! What a terrible way to leave this earth! This is one of my favorites from the 90s
Michael Jackson struck platinum with this group DAMN
the best vocals of any female group
Brownstone slowed their beats down, and sung to us!
People don't know this Nikki, them vocals could take out a choir!
A beautiful soul RIP , Ms. Charmayne! 🙏
wait, WHO is singing background?????
Damn I feel old... I feel like my parents felt when they talked about the 70s, when I talk about the 90s. But R&B today really does suck. It's not just us being nostalgic. This music had real emotion behind it. Today's R&B is flat and too explicit. Anyone can make a song about straight up sex romps, but can you harmonize well enough to invoke real feelings in the listener? Today's music will never make my hair stand up like this music.
Amen.........I remember when too! I miss the 90's.
i DEFINITELY AGREE!!!!!
100% agree. Is what it is I guess.
2015 and still sounds good.
***** Ha ha!!! I agree!!!! I wish they would all disappear into oblivion.
r&b at its finest!
Agreed.
Dear God YES!
yasss!!!!!
3:27 starts my favorite part of this song. It brings me back to the choir as a young girl. When the Altos and Sopranos were singing at the same time but different lines. Maaaan I miss authentic music
Soothes the soul, relaxes the mind, & takes me back to a better time when music like this was life.
Their best song. Always feels like im at church when i hear these sistas sing.
the same feeling!!! hello from russia)
for sure!
carlton31174 IKR THEY SOUND LIKE A CHOIR
Lol
That’s when R&B artists and groups had soul and passion in their voices and music in today’s R&B music there is none of that no soul , no passion, self expression. Now it’s more misogyny, sexist to each opposite sex , selfish, violent, disrespectful, promotional of drug use and too many thing I don’t like to list . Take me back to the 90’s
I wish music was like this today -_-
Denessa Smith YEAH ME TOO
And today
Y'all say that. I litsen to this on my way to school

This music got me through some tough times I guess all of us were there...sooo sad to hear about Charmayne's untimely death,...they were so gifted, and beautiful...so sad....R.I.P.
JoJo ModSquad which one is Charmaine? Oh sad news indeed. This is and was my favourite Brownstone song.
It's like a heart cry.

***** Me too! so terrible
***** They said she slipped on a broken glass bottle, lots of it and a piece of glass cut her neck and punctured a main artery. So bizzare!!

Who you telling baby
No need to explain. Me too❤
I feel you ❤
Rest in eternal peace, Maxi.
Your vocal magic, and your incomparable, exquisite beauty will never be rivalled.
This track was MINT! One of their finest - lyrically, melodically and vocally.
These women had an ethereal, combined vocal quality that was so packed and penetrative, that delivered a sound evocative of a whole room full of singers; their harmonies echoing back against their own to create five times the ambience! You could just never put your finger on how they did this, but it was so natural.
Nicci, Mimi, Kina, Trisha, Arin, Alexis - all of these fine ladies who have been the evolving line-up...
And, of course, Maxi -
Thank-you all for the gifts you have given the world for so long.
RIP Maxine ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The harmony they have is amazing. Love this song
23yrs later, this song STILL gives me CHILLS the SAME way it did when it came out.... as if it were BRAND NEW! ❤
Haven’t heard this in years had no idea they made all these hits
