Laura Mvula - She (In South Africa)

[@hayjoyjoy3277]

This song means so much to me, makes me think of my beautiful sister who battled kidney failure for 14 years, she was so powerful, no matter what she faced she fought, she kept going. Some will say she lost her battle 2015 aged 35 but I think she won, we sang together on her last day on this earth. I want her here but I'm happy she's free. #AmmaRose

[@xxivy_dabestxx9615]

+Hayleigh-joy Rose Beautiful! Your sister dances in your words. What lovely siblings!

[@Harris665]

Your sister is watching down at you. Stay beautiful baby girl..

[@charliesoteriou9870]

I'm sure your sister would be holding your hand as you spoke those words and smiling

[@Mechum22]

A beautiful tribute to your sister. May her spirit and her memory keep you going when times get tough. Blessings to you.

[@panjea2427]

God bless you and your sister, I can tell what a blessing you were to her and her to you...You are not alone...she is free..even though I don't know you my heart and soul reach to you

[@davidlukeskywalker1900]

positive song about 'blackness' 'poverty' 'adversity' she needs more global recognition...she's amazing xxx

[@rr7firefly]

This song stops me in my tracks every time. And when the spell is over I find that my eyes are moist with tears.

[@joesheehan4529]

Exactly my experience. Thank you Laura Mvula.

[@Elizabeth-hq7ym]

Same

[@CarxV_one]

Same bro

[@adamblack2301]

Same, it's beautiful.

[@SighDown]

This moving song really expresses black female suffering in this world. Well done, Laura!

[@californyaeh]

"She" She walked to watch you with the head down low She wondered if there's a way out of the blue. Who's gonna take her home this time? She knew that this time wouldn't be the last time. There she waits looking for a savior, Someone to save her from her dying self. Always taking ten steps back and one step forward, She's tired, but she don't stop. She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop. She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop. Every day she stood, hoping for a new light She closed her eyes and she had a smile voice say You don't stop, no, you belong to me She cried, maybe it's too late. Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop? She walked to watch you with the head down low She wondered if there's a way out of the blue. Who's gonna take her home this time? She knew that this time wouldn't be the last time

[@Thejdreamerzful]

This song resonates to individual listeners. and for me it touches such a deep chord. To me it represents the perseverance of character and hope through the obstacles of life. Personally struggling with addition, "taking 10 steps back but 1 step forward", but still, recovering, very hard..i don't stop, i keep on progressing until I beat this addiction, I Don't Stop. 8 years later update: In a much better place, completely transformed and addiction free! As this song says - don't stop - keep hoping, keep believing, keep praying, keep laughing. I thank the Lord☺

[@LincolnFalana]

Thejdreamerzful Put our hope in Christ ✊

[@chakiraadam5608]

Thejdreamerzful fuck the Christ ✌🏿

[@TheDiande]

I hope you're still recovering or have recovered. Keep fighting.

[@Zarasha1]

I pray you are free in Yahushua Messiahs name. He truly loves you. I had struggles and battles that if it wasn't for him I would of died years ago. I also struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts for many years. God brought a friend in my path that made me remember Yahushua died for me so I can be free. He loves us so much and truly wants all of us set free from our struggles. Never stop trusting in him, no matter what battles you face in earth. This is our shortest life. We won't be here forever. One day Yahushua will take away all our pain, bad memories, struggles, battles, illness, etc. Don't ever think you have to fight alone. This is why God send his son on earth to help us. I don't know you but truly care about you. I will pray for you.

[@GhanaMamba]

Dang, I thought you were struggling with math at first. God bless you 🙏🏾

[@NgoziBanks]

This song is defined by each listener... it mean so much. As each woman listen SHE will resonate accordingly. love.

[@ItssKyairra]

Touchè

[@ndiekwere6027]

I just heard this song and felt completely overwhelmed and cried,my housemates are still wondering what happened. If it happened to you too, hold strong do not stop.

[@bibi2440]

we love your art MaMvula ... umculo wakho sisi uyandiphilisa qhubeka uye pambili... From Sunny Cape Town South Africa ...We Won't Stop !

[@lorettadizio9151]

This lady is just magic for me. There are so many reasons why I love this song: her vocals (I've just discovered her and I haven't stopped listening to her - she's something special for me). The choir sound that wraps itself around this song (gooseflesh kind of stuff). The visual - South Africa is a really beautiful country and it just takes a drive off the beaten path (I'm thinking the Northern Cape and the inland bits of the Western Cape) to see what I mean. The little girl represents home and growing up in this country. The emotions it invokes (sadness, gratitude and love all wrapped in one). The powerful song writing (such a powerful lyric). Watching it on KZbin is a joy - often videos are dripping with cynical and negative comments but this one is different. And it's touching to see how others experience this song - for me, the narrative is one about prostitution but for others it's a completely different experience (an example being the first comment that you see posted by Halyeigh-joy Rose about her sister)... Instant Laura Mvula fan x

[@karenmccants1439]

Laura is pure magic.

[@lisascamponi3713]

Beatiful name and the same name as my sister so want to forget your name And I won't give in to life. like most days I feel like doing but, I won't give in to the existence of carrying on living ( of to do some motivation painting thanks again Laura )

[@suzanneholmes7073]

Go Laura ...you're annointed by angels

[@allowmi]

When you were a small child and something broke your soul (at least with the estimation you had at the time,) there was that first airless wail before you took that wrenching second breath and really let the cathartic tears and emotion pour out is just the emotion Laura Mvula seems to capture with this song. If you were lucky there was someone there to hold you. Imagine if there wasn't.

[@Isaiahone18]

Most of the time there wasn't someone to even talk to, let alone hold you.

[@JayGamelin]

Who on God's green earth thumbs this down?

[@kerryannwaithe9245]

Someone who identified too deeply with it.

[@dorothy14purple]

😂 Haters exist. We must remember this.

[@dorothy14purple]

The first time I heard it, I thumbed it up, but wasn't sure if I really liked it. It takes a time or two to listen and for sure know sometimes... our ears and moods change

[@a4monek]

Real music, real song, great performance, great recording!! This woman is amazing! Perfect mixture between African and European understanding of music! Keep it this way!!

[@nikaledavis8670]

This song is Haunting and resolutely beautiful! Laura's voice sings to a primal place within my soul. It takes me back to my purest self.

[@GreenIeaf]

This made me cry, the message is there

[@lusi215]

This song is so deep, uSisi ukufutshane kwizinyanya (she's got a direct connection to the ancestors ) her music if purely soulful, makes me wanna cry...."who cutting the onion!?"

[@TheNewyork95]

lusindiso mbolekwa hahaha you made me smile :)

[@lusi215]

TheNewyork95 I'm glad you did :) have great day.

[@vanessay4]

This sang gave me shivers and then brought me to tears, it seems something differently each person individually. Really touched some feelings. Thank you Miss Mvula

[@angelathomas4933]

I can so feel the deepness of Laura Mvula...

[@Mankafy]

[@himalayanpilots6830]

Tears man, suchcharisma,beauty and emotion,out of this world.

[@g.k.6807]

Can't stop crying. Thank you for this song. Beautiful. I felt like you were singing about my mother or maybe me.

[@VitaKrastina]

Same here. Third life crisis? :)

[@Elizabeth-hq7ym]

So much same

[@Narukashi666]

This song has helped me out of two anxiety attacks now and I will never not be grateful.

[@shirleyware6637]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Reminds me of my Mom, she was a fighter to her very end, God the strength that woman had not just for herself but those around her!!!!!!

[@danielalmir6378]

This is art

[@handofwhat]

She's the first artist to evoke Joni Mitchell in all her range I've ever heard - not some cheesy coffee-shop karaoke version, but the inner confessional jazz of Mitchell. And then you throw in a little Lauren Hill, Ricky Lee Jones, and, shit, even some Laurie Anderson, all textured by South African music. Amazing.

[@Mynameisnumber5]

Holy smokes! I keep going from song to song and all of them are sooo amazing!!

[@gunturnugroho3656]

Top

[@MARYANNE269]

Arthur Garwood Delahooke yeh me too.. all week. She amazing, beautiful, talented and more. I needed her in my life right now.. I'm not obsessed honest! X

[@mauriciobraz5476]

Laura is a giant singer, so beautiful and so dynamic!

[@ck675]

The official version she did of this song with that orchestra is mind blowing, but so is this. Just an incredible tune.

[@LPSCoolBird]

OMG LAURA IS THE BEST SINGER! :3

[@oliviarose2292]

I cry every time I listen to this :( Such a touching song , yet so beautiful

[@dwnight2012]

As a musician myself it's reassuring to know that there's still some good music out there. What's better is she's British

[@xeechet6290]

Why is Laura not a mega super star? The world should belong to this woman!

[@emilianapianura]

I hope your songs listen by mlillions people, because your music is peace. LOVE

[@YoungFrankenstein]

not only is her voice and sound beautiful, but she IS beautiful. Her eyes, her skin, her buzzed head... she's a very gorgeous lady. I hope everybody gets her cause she's brilliant.

[@theswiftschoolofselfhealing]

Thank you Laura. I am seriously moved, tears gently rolling down my cheeks. Love your music. Inspirational.

[@marapmelo1]

Stupendous... she and her sound!!!!!

[@antoinettelasha4317]

[@yuckitupyo]

Nothing less than a Divine transmission! An Ancestor reborn singing! Such a blessing!

[@Kinhos25000]

So much love with this marterpiece!

[@poppysfit]

This song should be dedicated to any woman on the verge of giving up. Bless you Laura Mvula! Beautiful!

[@djpete2009]

Yup! Nailed it. + eyes closed, serious relationship or money issues and then this song comes on and you realise that life is truly beautiful and we should be grateful for each day.

[@RockRocketShip]

The lyrics, and even down to the visuals, Ms Mvula has captured depression perfectly..

[@Japhala_Aether_Gwangwa]

Beautiful, beautiful song. Words can hardly describe. My Heart. Also, I think the little schoolgirl forgot her bag at the 1:44 location coz at 3:16 she looks like she just realized she forgot something. Lol, so cute. Now I miss South Africa.

[@mlevy5834]

so loving this woman. sometimes, i can hear a touch of nina simone in her voice. especially in green garden.

[@SunGathersDust]

This song saved my life ❤️ ;

[@Kurtisaej]

Laura Mvula has some serious talent, I'm literately obsessed with her songs.

[@lovetyra3667]

[@sabaideemai1]

The WORLD needs to blast Laura on all its speakers....

[@soundcav7458]

This piece of art is wonderful, enkosi kakhulu Sisi and to your amazing team. Healing music is what people really need and I mostly speaking for my self. Stay blessed M'Africa.

[@sherlockmindset3268]

This songs says everything...without saying a thing ~ SHE DON'T STOP!!!

[@mojamediaworks7056]

What an absolutely deep expression of crystal clarity. The pathos is rich, the meaning heavy, but so liberating in the same moment and we are not left with a shallow statement of an automatically bright future. We given the responsibility of feeling and facing our necessary sense of compassion to put ourselves into the dynamics of creating freedom and justice out of oppression. Thank you for this fluid and statuesque piece of heart and soul work.

[@ceeceeshine]

She's beauty inside out! Seen her live outstanding!

[@superduperjoi6800]

This song makes me cry so much. I have been battling depression and i always come back for fuel

[@ZeeLEDGEmaQHAWE]

I love her chilled yet vivacious music style. A literal breath of fresh air in the midst of repetitive pop. Even more so, that this song is shot in S.A jst makes me love her even more! Cha, umuhle sisi. Xxx

[@tamaraRable]

Goosebumps....

[@RogerRFontaine]

Yes- your young girl's journey and struggle to be- come who she's meant to be- she don't stop, until she gets there- you've reached it- your new life. bravo.

[@claudiafoedde]

Wow, what a beautiful song! Love to you all, my strong sisters!

[@spacevalyrian]

I just came back from her performance in Amsterdam. It was so damn beautiful. If she's in your area, you have to go see her perform. She's even better live! And the band is also great.

[@mikesinclair7135]

Far too good for the charts

[@anniebacon1635]

Whoever disliked this doesn't know what good music sounds like! She's just so incredible, so honoured to have known her before she was famous

[@vincegreen4782]

"She", I'm over the moon she got inspiration for the video from my home country SA. ❤️. What a beautiful song, though.... Wow!

[@mariosabalic1166]

Music is powerful,especially when you are trying to escape from a season in your life where you are mentally and emotionally exhausted. Great song highlighting the pain, hopes and dreams in one's life. Hopefully Mvula's songs will resonate in our spirits for many decades to come.

[@laoemusic]

[@68AmericanMuscle]

I just heard this voice for the first time on the morning drive during "morning becomes eclectic" and I haven't felt chills from an artist like I did this morning in quite a while. This emotion in her voice brings this song to life.

[@bluckamey]

I love this. It's so, how music is supposed to be.

[@Star-Mac10]

SHE DON'T STOP! Power at it's CORE. BRAVO!
