Jamila Woods - SULA (paperback) (Official Audio)

[@justinekim4102]

I love that Jamilia Woods made this musical embodiment of Toni Morrison's Sula. It touches me on another level. I love that book, and I love this song even more.

[@cheezeburger100]

Steven colbert brought me here 1.7.21..what a lovely song and artist!!

[@badbn405]

Me too!

[@chanelshion9034]

This song makes me feel how the book did. Bravo Jamila and all involved in making this masterpiece.

[@amandacanny]

Jamila can do no wrong. this is gorgeous. and I really appreciate that the name of the guitarist is featured because this guitar really completes the song. 💖

[@maglinebaker9273]

Beautiful beautiful music. I love the calming force of her voice

[@VENUS.SE7EN]

I listen to this song just about every morning as the sun rises. Jamila is my favorite artist in today's music. She gives me hope that there's still quality out there.

[@JasonTMays]

My soul needed this.

[@nayafitzgerald]

I know that Toni Morrison is smiling down upon you Jamila. Thank you for this gift. Thank you.

[@solomiabutler-smith2066]

This is music that you can feel. It makes my heart sing...."I'm better, I'm better, I'm better, I'm better,I'm better, I'm better!!"

[@mterrell604]

Beautiful tribute to Sula and all us Sulas from the Bottoms that didn't follow the path laid out for us, but forged our own 🙏🏾❤️

[@janicemadrecki1661]

Jamila stunningly performed this on Colbert's Late Show this evening, following the siege that took place upon our nation's U.S. Capitol. Her performance was deeply moving and provided hope in the midst of chaos. Thank you for those moments of beauty.

[@ThoughtGaze]

"on our nation's capitol" oh get the fuck outta here. pearl clutching nonsense. neighborhoods have been destroyed and people killed in riots well before that.

[@crying2emoji5]

I almost didn't watch that performance but I'm so glad I did. It made me cry so hard. It was so good of her to do that for us.

[@NewAlternative40Chart]

Jamila Woods' "SULA (paperback)" debuted at #28 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!

[@maglinebaker9273]

Yes, absolutely...thank you!!

[@laurenk.alleyne3293]

This is gorgeous, Jamila! Thank you for your incredible work!

[@nolwazinzama902]

wholesome art. To live in a time where such artists exist is a blessing I dont take lightly.

[@paradoxcoice7638]

Jamila, thank you for blessing us with your gift. the entire song is a whole mood. It's melting pot of raw emotions, melancholy, sadness, hope, gratitude, breakthrough, continuously pushing through, love, light, healing, unexpected mercy, grace and rainbow moments the universe grants us 💣🔥🙌🏾

[@iron8515]

Down here in the bottom there ain't no room for me I don't wanna make no babies I don't need a man to save me Secondhand loneliness pass on over me I might wanna make some babies Runnin outta time for waiting Freedom and triumph, they weren't meant for me Girls of my color, find somethin' else to be I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better Ooh I'm better Ooh I'm better Ooh I'm better Ooh I'm better Up here in the bottom you linger over me I got all this space to fill Somethin only bodies heal Promiscuous holiness slope is slippery I got all this time to kill Somethin' like a prayer to kneel to Lay on my pillow you think I'm so weak Soft as my skin is my power's discreet I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better I'm better Ooh I'm better Ooh I'm better Ooh I'm better Ooh I'm better Thick with birds, I met you in the dirt (I met you in the dirt) We get burns, you left me so hurt (You left me so hurt) Thick with birds, you met me in the dirt (You met me in the dirt) Sick at first, but havin' our love I'm not sorry that I cut you out I'm not sorry Can't be sorry that I cut you out What's done is done No crying over you I'm not sorry that I cut you out I'm not sorry Can't be sorry that I cut you out What's done is done No crying over you

[@kennjones3196]

Wow 🌹

[@chriseliecom]

I was pointed your way by Adia Victoria.. I feel fortunate to have been introduced to both, your song Jamila and Adia's words, all in one day through FAI!

[@stevieterp]

this is gorgeous - but, as a person with hearing loss, I cannot make out the lyrics with the music... please CAPTION!!!!

[@gustavoroman2214]

The lyrics are on the description! :))

[@stevieterp]

@@gustavoroman2214 a transcript is somewhat useful OR they can close caption the video so I know where the music matches the emphasis of a line... with a transcript I am guessing, with captioning, I know... AND thank you for pointing out the lyrics - at least now I can guess!
