Nelly Furtado - Try
All I know
Is everything is not as it's sold
But the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try, try
I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn the more I learn
The more I cry the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Oh, try, try, try
All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be, we never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
We are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love

I remember waking up in my highschool years, turning the TV on and this song was playing!! This happened almost everyday :') I miss MTV in those days, when they actually played MUSIC videos.

I'm on a "I liked those songs, but had no idea what they were saying" marathon.

This song is like wine: it gets better by aging. Btw I find it amazing how a song can be interpreted in so many ways and change meaning when you get older. I personally think we won't ever understand completely this song, because every time we listen to it we automatically learn something new from it. The power of music.

2023 and still in love with this song 🎵👌

This song clearly includes two different layers.
At the beginning, the first 2 stanzas, Nelly is talking about how she has become wiser than when she was a kid and dreamed about how great life is in general.
She now realizes that people can be fake and mean and "really not real at all". This knowledge confuses her ("the more I grow, the less I know"), she slowly loses the ability to deal with life ("the more I see, the less I grow").
As a conclusion she burries all the images she created as a kid ("say goodbye to the way of life...") for they are now useless to her.
The chorus tells us another layer:
The song has slowly turned into a description of a relationship. The first time she sings about him "wanting more" from her, we get the feeling she is sad about the situation, as she is unable to fulfill his wishes, she feels she is not enough for him.
During the rest of the song, the mood clearly changes:
The last part shows how she realizes she can try and try and she will never achieve whatever he wants from her, but this knowledge does not destroy her.
In fact, it helps her recognize who she is and that they both are imperfect. During the climax of the music she finds relief, as she now knows they both will never be perfect, and that makes them beautiful together. In their relationship they can both be who they truly are:
"All of the things we want each other to be, we never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby,This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
Free In our love"
Amazing how wise Nelly sounds at such a young age.
This song is ingenious.

this song was a safe place for me to go as a child and I’ll always be so grateful for that. I cannot properly describe how much I love this song or how much it means to me

Nelly I hope you see this!
I saw an interview of her saying that after hours of performing she would sit alone in her hotel room and look at the floor, feeling like a fraud thinking that people liked her more for her image, rather than her music.
I grew up in a very religious home and was only allowed to watch the music videos where people were dressed modestly and not talking about sex and drugs.
I remember watching “I’m like a bird” and beaming with happiness that someone famous looked like me, all because you had a long modest skirt.
You made me feel less out of the club by showing ur voice, not your body. So I hope you read this one day and see that it’s exactly the opposite. Your music has soul that creates its own image. It was never about your looks or how your label tried to sell you, it was always about you nelly, not your labels perception of you.
Ps. This song had 10 year old me letting her emotion out (grew up in a war and lost many close people). I couldn’t connect to kids songs or “adult” songs, but you felt like peace.

This will forever be her best song and probably her most underrated one.

All I know
Is everything is not as it's sold
but the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Try
All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love

Are you watching this in 2023? It's okay, you're not the only one.

Nunca olvidaré cuando vi este video en Los Diez Mas Pedidos de MTV en el 2004, esa era la hora mas sagrada del día cuando venía del colegio a prender la tele.

Now I'm 37, and this song sounds so much different from how it sounded when i was 22....

Folklore was and remains Nelly Furtado’s best album and body of work ever!

Masterpiece. The 'Folklore' album was so underrated it hurts.

I've been listening to this song for 10 years, it's my favourite song of all time. I was a loner as a child. I suffered and recovered from depression, and I'm dealing with loneliness. I'm still alive. All I can do is try.

It was and is one of my favorites songs, but now I am 34 years old I can understand and feel the lyric. Life can be so different as we dreamed one day and that reality is so hard. But if you have a good partner you have to fight and live life as good as possible.
Love you Nelly!!!!!
