FIRST TIME LISTENING TO "PRINCESS OF RUINS" | ANGELINA JORDAN | LAS VEGAS CONCERT 2024

[@kristena9285]

The book is "Mellom to Hjerter", "Between two Hearts".. (2015). 🙂

[@pjg58x]

The book (with English translation) is available digitally on her website.

[@robertsilva631]

Angelina has been writing songs since she was 10 years 0ld - So far 12 have been released: Oslo, What is Life?, Shield, Million Miles, 7th Heaven, Love Don't Let Me Go, Now I'm The Fool, Fire and Rain, All My Fault, Good in Goodbyes, Diamond, and Our Time. If Angelina officially releases Princess of Ruins - that will make 13. Angelina has stated that she has written about 100 songs that have yet to be released. Her songs are taken from her Journal writings. When she was 10/11 she rewrote the Lyrics to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Rehab to make them more age-appropriate at that time.

[@johnroache32]

For those who have the ability read along: The Lyrics: 😇🌸‼️ PRINCESS OF RUINS ‼️ A heart of gold, A spirit in the soul, the people didn't care about her. It's changing to gold, the stories that she told, a goddess with no one to help her. They say it's true, when you're left with nothing, anything is everything. So I took off my shoes for her 'cause that's something, it's always coming back to me. It's like I'm standing in the street, in the cold with bare feet, when I told my wildest dreams to you. So I keep moving to the beat, of the words that you speak, to the beauty in your point of view. I keep moving, I'll push through it, I'll carry the crown for you. I keep moving, I push through it, for the Princess of Ruins. Her hands are cold. And life would push and go, that's all she'd ever known, the feeling. Her highs and hopes, she keeps them in the dark, a broken telescope for dreaming. They say it's true, when you're left with nothing, anything is everything. So I took off my shoes for her 'cause that's something, it's always coming back to me. Like I'm standing in the street, in the cold with bare feet, when I told my wildest dreams to you. So I keep moving to the beat of the words that you speak, to the beauty in your point of view. I keep moving, I push through it, I'll carry the crown for you. I keep moving, I push through it, for the Princess of Ruins. Sing it, louder, sing it louder, sing it louder for you, ooh ooh ooh. Louder, sing it louder, sing it louder for you, ooh ooh ooh. It's like standing in the street, in the cold with bare feet, when I told my wildest dreams to you. So I keep moving to the beat, of the words that you speak, to the beauty in your point of view. I keep moving, I'll push through it, I'll carry the crown for you. I keep moving, I'll push through it, for the Princess of Ruins. For the princess, the princess, for the Princess of Ruins. The princess, the princess, for the Princess of Ruins. And all the broken hearted, I sing for you.

awesome song. so look forward to official release and. video of concert

[@ClaudioMarcucci7756]

Wonderful reaction Debbie, this song is very sweet and she is absolutely natural and humble in remembering what commitments are mandatory for her, it's such a personal and emotional narrative! A 6 year old girl makes a promise and that same girl after 12 years reiterates and confirms that promise for the future ... She is incredibly tender, human and coherent, it's all truly part of her and her stupendous development, also thanks to respect and the love she receives from her wonderful family.💛🧡❤

[@charlespeterson7502]

I can't wait to hear the recorded version of this. I was lucky and went to both shows. This version doesn't do her justice. There are better videos out there of this song.

[@daleschiissler8525]

YUP! This is your first original. Let's go Deb!!

[@austindermody302]

Great reaction Debbie! We all love our barefoot princess, Angelina Jordan! She's the kind of role model that so many young people need nowadays. #Angels

[@LonghopeBro-ju6jl]

The significance of the title "Princess of Ruins". From her book, Between Two Hearts: I say to the girl: "Yes, I know what your name is. You are called princess." "Yeah, I'm princess" She stands there, a little uncertain. "I'm not a princess living in a castle. We live in ruins; we have no castle."

[@patrickchauharjasingh7164]

If, for some inexplicable reason, there was anyone who was still unaware of the massive, universe-sized, golden, BEAUTIFUL heart of our Angel, Angelina Jordan, this song brings it into crystal clarity. These are some of the most poignant, heart-searing, beautiful lyrics I have ever heard, performed so magnificently by Angelina, a tribute to a little girl whom the rest of the world ignored, her Princess of Ruins. "When you're left with nothing, anything is everything" OMG. OMG. The lyrics of the song, and the reason for the name, are explained here both by our lovely host (thank you, Debbie!) as well as by other Angels among the comments, and I fervently implore anyone who views the video of this performance to take the time to explore the background, in order to appreciate its full emotional impact, as well as the golden heart and the musi😂cal genius of our precious Angelina.

[@aryachow]

This is going to be her anthem. There has been many originals. Million Miles, the whole EP Old Enough. There is a better version of this song by James Thiel...spelling might be wrong. The book is called Between Two Hearts. You can get a digital version in English on line .I just got one.❤❤❤❤❤. There is another single called Its our time, and one call Oslo, and What is Life.

[@TheBlaster54]

Debbie, IMO, This song is now Angelina’s anthem. I can’t wait for the studio version to come out and be available for downloading.

[@peterhormell1511]

Actually, a handful of superfans have been working to “clean up” and provide better versions of all of the THIRTY NINE songs she performed on February 29, 2024. Here’s possibly the best version of “Princess of Ruins” AND it has the lyrics in the “closed captions” part of KZbin. Debbie, you should seriously think about reacting to this version (despite it being the same song). I guarantee you’ll get just as big of an audience as you will for THIS version. And by all means, check out other fan videos. Here’s a link to James Theil’s masterpiece of *Angelina’s* masterpiece “Princess of Ruins.” *Make sure you turn ON the captions!* [James was in the front row!! 😳] m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJPNq3uPf9p3oLM&pp=iAQB8AUB

Angelina recorded several songs on her album or whatever it's called these days it came out in 2023. I think you will be impressed with them too. She's so talented.❤

[@poolhallshark]

[@ronraskind]

This song in my mind was a very long time coming and worth waiting for! I felt that at some point in time she would write about this and it is even better than I expected. I think this will become Angelina's anthem that she will sing at every performance. She has approximately a dozen original songs including this one and every one of them is as good as the next. But this holds a special place in my heart because of the background story. Peace and love.

[@deniseperryman2814]

This is such a heartwarming song from Angelina. This is based on her true story. She wrote a book about her and the little girl she met both 6 years old at the time. The book is called Between Two Hearts 💕. This made Angelina the youngest selling author in Norway. I do feel that the band was drowning Angelina’s voice out. They were far too loud . The song is so Beautiful though. Angelina has written many songs now and she’s amazing at that too. Great Reaction Love 🥰 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👼👼🦶🦶🫅🫅🥰🥰😘👍

[@kentovewagenes1141]

And all the broken hearted, i'll sing for you ❤️ Hit hard ❤️

[@tomwhite4736]

This is the vocal style / inflections i prefer over over some others at this concert , wish Angelina would continue in this style , imo she sounds miles better . joey farr 1 has a brilliant video of this performance .

[@MichaelGroves777]

There is a video on TikTok of Sara, Juliette and Michael's wife dancing in the aisle of the theater to this song while she sang it.

[@elmarwinkler6335]

It was winter in the Middle East and icy rain came down. AJ saw this girl in rags with bare feet and AJ imagined herself into this girl (AJ is an Empath). After understanding the situation, she walked over and asked: " I heard you are named Princess????" And the girl answered something like this: "Yes I am called Princess. I am without court and castle. I am a princess of ruins!!!" Please remember Princess did not speak English. They talked in Persian Farsi. Grandma Mery is from Iran and had to flee the regime there. Dear, I wish you all the best, get well and happy, bless you. Elmar from Germany

[@robertanderson6494]

Both concerts were amazing. This video was from the second performance. She explained a little more about her experience at age 6 that inspired the book published at age 9 and has lead to performing this song at 18 on the same stage where Elvis performed. Elvis was 34 when he started performing in Las Vegas. AJ’s growth has been phenomenal. Her comfort level from Portsmouth to Las Vegas was was remarkable and even 30 minutes in between shows was enough to make improvements from the band, production staff and Angelina’s interactions with the audience better. Really impressed because the first concert that night was FANTASTIC!

[@CarlosCastillo-ue9cz]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@TheBlaster54]

Debbie, The title of Angelina’s book is, “Between Two Hearts”. She wrote it when she was nine years old. AS a result of that accomplishment, Angelina became the youngest Norwegian citizen to have written a book and the have it published.

[@jwichman9]

I was so excited to see you reacting to her identity song!

[@mposton6007]

I'm 71 and was privileged to grow up hearing all the great music of the '60-70's . . . BUT no artist has drawn me in and lifted my spirits like Angelina does. Behind her amazing talent, lies a pure soul filled with goodness, which amplifies the frequency of everything she sings! She's such an inspiration of how high humans can evolve, which is such a needed light in these dark days when we're bombarded with media displaying how low humans can devolve.

[@brianreilly8661]

[@PhilipBruno-tr3mt]

I hope that young girls life turned out every bit as successful as Angelina’s, what she did for that young girl always brings me to tears, this song should be on the radio and be given a Grammy, Angelina always sings from the heart unlike the junk out there these days.

Great reaction I was sure that you must have already reacted to some of Angelina’s originals. I checked your playlist and as you said, I don’t see any originals. Angelina has said that she has written over 100 songs and has been writing since she was about 10. Songs recorded and released to date are the following: From her album “It’s Magic”, recorded at age 11 and released at age 12: 1. Oslo 2. What Is Life 3. Shield (single released at age 12) 4. Million Miles (single released at age 14. Written about the passing of her maternal grandfather) 5. 7th Heaven From her “Old Enough” EP released last summer at age 17: 6. Love Don’t Let Me Go 7. Now I’m The Fool 8. Fire And Rain 9. All My Fault 10. Good And Goodbye 11. Diamond 12. Our Time (single released at age 17. This song is being used by the financial company SoFi for a national television ad.

Old Enough album is all her original songs

[@dsgp7835]

Joan Osborne had a song titled, WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US. Since hearing that song, I've often wondered if God appears to us as less fortunate to test our hearts. Angelina, at six years old giving her favorite shoes to one of Gods children was a true test of her precious little heart. Not many people, let alone a child has the degree of empathy Angelina showed that day. After giving the little street girl her shoes, Angelina had to go barefoot herself, sharing the hardship. The little girl said she would pray for Angelina, her prayers and our were answered by touching not only our ears with Angelina's beautiful voice but our souls with her beautiful heart.

[@LonghopeBro-ju6jl]

Others have mentioned that there is a better version from BigAngieFan and have provided links. Others collaborated on it, including James Thiel. There are several videos by them, and I would recommend that if you see a version by James, you should react to it for superior quality. So far those include Diamonds Are Forever, Hero, Mercy and When We Were Young.

Princess of Ruins (unofficial) Revised lyrics A heart of gold, A spirit in the soul, people didn't care about her. It's age of old, the stories that she told, goddess with no one to help her. They say it's true, when you're left with nothing, anything is everything. So I took off my shoes for her 'cause that's something, it's always coming back to me. It's like I'm standing in the street, in the cold with bare feet, when I told my wildest dreams to you. So I keep moving to the beat, of the words that you speak,to the beauty in your point of view. I keep moving, I'll push through it, I'll carry the crown for you. I keep moving, I push through it, for the Princess of Ruins. Her hands are cold. And life would push and go, that's all she'd ever known, the feeling. Her hearts and hopes, she keeps them in the know, broken telescope for dreaming. They say it's true, when you're left with nothing, anything is everything. So I took off my shoes for her 'cause that's something, it's always coming back to me. It's Like I'm standing in the street, in the cold with bare feet, when I told my wildest dreams to you. So I keep moving to the beat of the words that you speak,to the beauty in your point of view. I keep moving, I push through it, I'll carry the crown for you. I keep moving, I push through it, for the Princess of Ruins. Sing it, louder, sing it louder, sing it louder for you, ooh ooh ooh. Louder, sing it louder, oh ya, sing it louder for you, ooh ooh ooh. It's like standing in the street, in the cold with bare feet, when I told my wildest dreams to you. So I keep moving to the beat, of the words that you speak,to the beauty in your point of view. I keep moving, I'll push through it, I'll carry the crown for you. I keep moving, I'll push through it, for the Princess of Ruins. For the princess (louder), the princess (sing it louder), for the Princess (sing it louder) of Ruins. The princess (louder), for the princess (sing it louder), for the Princess (sing it louder) of Ruins. And all the brokenhearted, I sing for you.

[@rogerandrus1806]

In her book Angelina relates that the little girl is called Princess, and she tells Angelina that she is not a princess in a castle but a princess in ruins. Sob!

[@roddiener1235]

Look for other recordings of this, unfortunately this is not the best audio....but it's AJ, any recordings a good recording.

[@kjellneset919]

Try Big Angie Fan video of this song. It is cleaned up and for me the lyrics fit with what i hear 100%. Highly recommend you to do that one. And your reaction is so good. I hope you feel better soon.

She gave her shoes to the poor girl in the street. She appreciates our attention to that, but the real focus should be for 'the princess of ruins' . . . . . the girl in the street. She is giving the 'gimmick' some validity. take care, rh

[@ridgemanron]

People have to understand that at 6 years of age this girl displayed the same creed that 'Mother Teresa' lived by for her complete adult life. When Angelina took the beautiful sneaker/shoes she was wearing at 6 while traveling in a war torn Mid East village, off her feet and gave them to a poor, orphaned girl of 6 that she met in the street it was truly a remarkable look into the depths of this girl. I had met a nun who served under Mother Teresa in the slums of Calcutta, and when I expressed how much I had admired her, the nun gave me a small photo card of 'Mother' with the following words on the back. 'God hath no greater love than for those who come to the aid of a stranger in desperate need'. That describes our 'princess' to a 'T'. The nun went on to tell me that 'Mother' told her that God knows we help family and friends without a second thought but what really impresses him is when that 'giving' is directed to a stranger in need. Was it a coincidence that Angelina's career skyrocketed a year later when she was 7, or could it be that God had something to do with it? I'm not even sure that 'Mother Teresa' would have had the foresight to do at 6 years of age what Angelina did. One thing I am sure of is, if she had ever met Angelina she would have been supremely impressed by her actions.

[@JaapFilius]

What a song this is, but it is not Angelinas first orginal song: Shield, Oslo, Million Miles are three other songs she wrote and they are all awesome. As a judge from Norway Got Talent said when Angelina performed "Gloomy Sunday" as a 7 year old: "Angelina, you ARE music". And time after time Angelina proves that to be true. And Angelina's own words are proving that too: "Singing is like breathing to me. By the way: recently a new 16 minutes long documentary about Angelina is released on KZbin: "Angelina Jordan, 10 years in the making". It is produced by Angelina's mother, Sara Astar. You really have to watch that: privately or as a reactionvideo (just what you prefer).
