I Heard It Through the Grapevine Lyrics
does anyone else remember the california raisins singing this in the 80s?
What - no comments. Are y'all crazy!!! This is a wikid song - pure classic.
This is sad, no comments on this awesome song? Well, I just have to say Marvin Gaye is a lyrical genious. His voice is near perfect. It's sad we, the world, had too loose such a talented person.
A truely awesome song. It's a shame the world had to loose Mr. Gaye, he was absolutley wonderful, and had an awesome voice.
Yeah, I remember the California Raisins singing this song.
I agree with the previous statements on how amazing this song is, and how amazing Marvin Gaye was.
As to what the song means? Well, Mr. Gaye has heard rumors that his girlfriend/ woman/ significant other is cheating on him with her ex-boyfriend and is seriously considering leaving Marvin Gaye. Marvin Gaye is asking her how it's possible that he heard the rumors first before she decided to tell him vis-a-vis.
Marvin Gaye R.I.P, great song.Who can help but start dancing when this song starts playing. As depressing as the song may actually be, the song is just awesome. One of Motowns best.
great song.......
but what does it mean???????????????
'Hearing something through the grapevine', means when you hear about something indirectly, people gossiping and stuff like that. He is asking her, why she didn't have the guts to tell him, herself, instead of letting him find out about her, cheating on him, from someone else.
Of couse the song wasn't actually written by Marvin Gaye - he just sang it better than anyone before or since - but by Whitfield/Strong, one of Motown's great songwriting teams.
Out of this world.
