D'Angelo - The Door Lyrics

musically and feel-wise, this is definitely D'angelo emoting his Beatles influence circa "The White Album"

Best track on the album n the whole albums 🔥🔥

sounds like new age Al Green

Man!!! The Spotify Live Version of this is the absolute Truth!!!!! He brought it back to Church on that Live Version

In pimp terms this sings means to a woman "don't get yo ass put on ice"(No contact whatsoever)

D'Angelo even manages to make me feel sexy when I'm taking a shit

Don’t let that gate be closed in your face. Real talk. Let me know if you get what he trying to tell y’all.

Just take note that this song is in the same key as Best Day Ever

groovy :)

Thanx from Germany
This is Great Soul Music&and gud Original Amerikan!
Love It.......Keep your Head up
AMERIKA HOPE YOU WILL SOWIFE TRUMP

My mama wouldve been blasting the hell out of this and the whole album if she was here fasho! The chorus alone sounds like something she would say

on some white album level of transcendant

he should have known i was ready to go when i started whistling the intro to this song unconsciously...😂😂😂😌✌

Yes Lord! 🙌 my new ringtone

Charley Patton Stylee.

Real Old Timey....

did that guitar just did the baby sound?..1:56 Dam love it..lol

Imagine cruising back home in your convertible from the car wash

don't lock yourself out that door

D'ANGELO FELL OFF👎👎👎👎👎👎

Yes, don't find yourself out that door.

I dedicate this to my ex gf. Told you...

This kind of music can be played in any era

Dang!!!

#HidenoriIshige dancer from #Japan and his #Musicality with #freestyle #dance to this amazing music brought me here ♥♥ https://www.instagram.com/p/BHaCwjGgBE_/

Come on baby, too good

this is the only song I like off the whole album.

Might I suggest hearing aids and some lemon to clear the palate because your sense of taste has been dulled if you can't find something to like about this album set.

+gilnicbobby no I meant what I said, the album was boring except for a few songs

Kelvin Daniels then u need to keep listening

+Tyrone W. James I've tried and I still didn't like it

same way i feel about solange album...but i love this album...mostly

great fucking song..lovet his jam

Love this man. My favorite male singer. AH-MAZING live show. Sounds even better in person. #RESPECT

album of the year

great stuff

This Southern Country Song is Very Amazing But it Sounds like it would have been a Perfect Match for the Movie "Idlewild" I'm loving it!

Reminds me a little of Prince in some songs...

deep rooted and futuristic

Can't believe all the love in the comments. This is not the Internet I'm familiar with

Put it on the Wall...

Charley Patton Stylee..

The Door, makes me happy :-D

Best song on the album, great to see D'angelo back

This is a funky/zydeco feeling groove.

Dis deff my new forget about it ALL jam!!

WOW...so  im here looking for my cellphone...then this track came on ... I was like @#$% that phone ..slid bak in bed took a puff ....whistling the sme time...lol

@Anthon Knowles HAHA! That's fuckin' awesome.

I can't figure one thing out... If you search lyrics of this song, it has a lot more lyrics than what he actually sings in the song... I can hear that he sing the same thing twice in the song but there is apparently two more sections with lyrics...?

@Clarence Butler ?

@Simon Vidlund He released a live EP this week on Spotify. He does the full version of this song on there

What?! Really, I need to hear this. Thanks.

@Ron Corley get outta here. Thx for the heads up

Real Old Timey

BBC CXC

Cooler than the other side of the pillow!

I hope he performs a secret gig like Prince near my hometown. Fingers crossed.

I can't stop whistling this shit!! Lol! Is that a nod to Otis Redding/Dock Of The Bay? It's so commercial but still has the same D'Angelo SOUL. Has D'Angelo been watching Sponge Bob episode intros? Cause I sure have and they are LACED with Ukulele rifts (which I replay frequently). Plus this dude is actually playing the Ukulele...I get the feeling D is just experimenting with whatever sound he wants and I LOVE IT!!!! I'm goin to my Grandmama's house to sit on her on her old wooden rocking chair on the front porch. Somebody pour me some of that Country Time Lemonade...I Do declare!! Lmao!!!!

Some left field country with a mix of soul. Only thing remotely similar to this would be "Spaced Cowboy" by Sly & The Family Stone.

Country-Soul? That's new... To me at least.

I feel like this wouldve played well in Django Unchained.

Excited for his performance on SNL tmrw!

@Intellexual Hah, true. Maybe as a song to play out the couple as they trot away on their horses.

This songs reminds me of the Dave chappelle show theme song

Did he sample this from Spongebob Squarepants? Lol

Higher track 10 '95

nothin even matters: is fire (ask j cole)

ok, but i like: send it on, feel like makin love, heaven must be like this, cruisin, your precious love, i found my smile again, can't hide love, me and those dreamin eyes of mine!!!!!!!! Va All day 24089. make a ep with real r&b fire let them know. save this ish to link up wit andre 3000 & speech!

YAAASSSSS!!!!

Best thing about this album, the executives originally had the idea to put Kanye, Prince, Busta Rhymes...on the album... so glad they decided not to. Such a great album top to bottom. This is how an album should be done, and the production is top notch even some people do not get it with the mixes.

Prince would be dope, but not on main vocals. But on instrumentation and backs.

i agree , but as prince fan it wouldn't matter if it was main vocals or background harmonies , i jus know the influence of that energy in the studio would have been extremely epic 

Those 3 peoples are all sell outs and does nothing good for the black community.

concretekos a lot of blacks don't do nothing for the black community doesn't mean you can't appreciate the art of our brothers

and besides prince did a lot for the black community he just didn't want it blasted in the media.

200% dope

"Don't lock. your shelf out. that door."

My shelf was misbehaving. Had to put it out.

@Mr. Joekzalott Shum on now.

By far my least favorite track on the album, and with that being said this an AMAZING country-blues record. Sounds like a slight Bill Withers influence hovers over this one. Its packed with organic energy and so much creativity from the whistle intro and outro solos to its acoustic arpeggios to the buried slide guitar fills to its overall plodding feel....this album is a MASTERPIECE. In a perfect world this thing would go DIAMOND!

moehammondmedia plz believe it blood respect diz man talent and hiz 4 the muzik 😎😎😎

D!!!! I love you.....I won't lock myself out that door!!! MUSIC is back!!!!! FINALLY!

This is black music

The Melanin is too strong for some. #Sunkissed

@Shafiq Husayn thank you!

@King Vic Nicholas Payton disagrees, check out this blog from him: https://nicholaspayton.wordpress.com/2014/12/17/will-the-real-black-messiah-please-stand-up/ was he a little harsh?

His voice is so soothing to me, it reminds me of the old school music that my grandfather use to listen to when I was younger. The difference is the pace of the band and his voice slowed down.

The whistle is obviously influenced by the classic "Snow White" theme sung by the 7 dwarfs, "He Ho, Hi Ho it's off to work we go..."

In other words. Baby girls once you leave, it's a wrap. No coming back

welcome home my nigga.

The melody reminds me of Arthur Lee's and LOVE "Everybody Got to Live" Slowed down 1/2 speed. 

this is a classic D'Angelo sounding song...took me back to Devil's Pie

 Has a Ma'Rainey & Dr.Thomas a Dorsey sound

D'Angelo makes his harmonies sound so easy. Crazy

His harmonies are the reason why I keep so many of his songs on repeat for hours

Saw him in concert 2 days ago at Manchester Apollo, England. His harmonies are effortless. Very under rated and the band were red hot. Brilliant accomplished musicians.

R Rog AMAZING ANALOGY!!!!

Man I've missed him

These twists and cord progressions! Yes!

D'angelo ' s music is sooooo for the conscious! He has completely evolved. I love it! Most definitely unplugged and not mainstream! Love it!

his harmonies man.

D'Angelo is the marmite figure of music. I love marmite - just not too sure on D'A.

you gotta love slide guitar

This sounds like a kind of song Neil Young could have written. That's how cold D'Angelo can get.

CBPM & Indy Greens of Fredericksburg,VA for Jesus Sharia Law (albino aryan/leper awareness)

Can't resist to play this one again and again....so groovy.

Brown Sugar I wanna get the word ryte...

It sounds like few a them guiter players from back in 1900 but the upgrade version...this is top notch ever since brown suger...

underrated he is getting his props

Finally a CD worth spending money on! D' Angelo does it again!

Im really at a loss of words... All i can do is bop my head in the most sincere groove of this track! The whistles give such life and meaning! Just absolutely amazing! #UNDERRATED   #TheReturnOfRealMusic  

this is my favorite song on the album :D

got that country feel, love it.  i wish he performs in South Africa some day 

@joy ntuli Ok, this always confused me. There must be another version to this song and I'd like to hear it.
 

@***** kunini vele

I sincerely hope that he does,for you, perform in S.Africa..

Back up Andy, I saw her first!

More bluesy then country but really the two go hand and hand!

This is blues. 

Idk what you think blues is but that's totally not blues

@ThelolOfGods idk what you understood of blues and music in general, but if you dont get why he's saying this, you didnt get blues either.

Can't stop listening to this song!👍😊

This shit, this shit... is UNDERRATED!!! Honestly, the whole album is FIRE, but this song right here... it's why D'angelo is the best musician of our generation. Think about the influences...

Haven't heard whistling on a track in a while. Only artist with true talent know how to include whistling, cow bells and tambourines in their music.

Delta blues.

I wonder if he used a stella guitar?

I bet this is gonna be used in some lighthearted commercial at some point, lol. Easily one of the most accessible tracks he ever recorded.

@ConcreteKOS lol. true 

vvbbbbxcc

+Tom Waits True. Even that suspect whistling can't ruin the catchiness.

+Tom Waits hey its Tom Waits! I see you everywhere on YT it seems. Tom Waits knows his marketing

Tom Waits well that’s up D.😉

What an amazing production
