I get that lump in my throat, shortness of breath. Eyes well with joyous tears. I love what she does to me. No one else ever did this in my 38 years of loving music.
I love Esperanza Spaldings music so so much!! I own almost all of her cd albums. Sadly not many people know of her outside of the jazz musician community. I tell everybody about her music!
This track is therapy after a long day at the job...loop it a few times on the way home from work and you're guaranteed to feel better. Only genius can get this accomplished while singing about it!
Right now you need it, driving yourself through the hard times Traffic won't speed up, so you turn the radio on But it's the same old stuff that makes you yawn Well somehow he feels it and the DJ here at the station Sends sweet salvation, when he starts to play this song Now you can't help singin' along Even though you never heard it You keep singin' it wrong This song will keep you grooving (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) Words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Ooh, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits Words are speaking through you Ooh, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) Words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Yes, this song's the one Even though you never heard it You keep singing it wrong, this song's the one And then they start mixing it up When you're tired and scared of missing something Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better Enter that song Now that's how we know the power of song can save When you're tired and scared of missing something Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better Enter that song Now that's how we know the power of song can save That's how we know the power of song can save Well it can surely save the day and keep you grooving (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits Words are speaking through you Yes, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) Words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Yes, this song's the one Smiling and driving, sounds like soon it might be over So you pull over, and start scrambling for a pen But another comes in again Paper in hand, you, can't help movin' while you're listenin' Your skin starts bristlin', here comes the part you know And you can't help singing along, even though you never heard it And you keep singing it wrong This song will keep you grooving (Can't stop it moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) The words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Ooh, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits When the words are speaking through you Ooh, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) Words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Yes, this song's the one Yes, this song's the one Now if you want to Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart (Play it to lift your spirits) Because you like to, because you need to This song's the one Now if you want to Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart Because you like to, because you need to Now if you want to Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart Because you like to, because you need to Now if you want to Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart Because you like to, because you need to
I love this woman. She's a female version of Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Rick James, Billy Preston, Lenny Kravitz, Larry Graham, Stanley Clarke (as well as so many others whose names are too long to name). Versatility in every sense of the word defines her. Can't wait to see her in concert one of these days. BTW, they played this @ Starbucks just now. I plan to get this bad boy next pay period!
So this was written nine years ago. I hope you have learned by now that listing male performers to praise her really don’t make sense in many ways. Are you saying male performers are better but she is included as an equal? Listing so many of them to suggest she is unique? Why does she have to be a female version of anyone? You must not be alive being so badly handicapped. Rip.
I remember when she won the best new artist Grammy over the biebster with his outrageously silly baby,baby,baby song and all of the little girls were outraged that he lost to Esperanza!!😆😆😆
@@akemygoto4425 that wasn’t my intent. All I was saying was she’s right up there with the greats before her. She even surpassed some of them. It was just a compliment, no more no less. And you’re right, she IS her own version (gonna edit that in my comment, thank you).
I can see how you think that but she's definitely not selling out. If you look into her project more, you will learn that the mission statement behind this album was not to get her onto the radio necessarily, but to bring jazz more into the forefront of today's mainstream music. If you haven't already, you should check out the DVD that went along with the bonus edition of the cd, it contains 10+ music videos and some really awesome behind the scenes features that are worth seeing.
I must say that the video is fun to watch, too. I should keep this CD in my car and play it the next time I'm in a traffic jam. Maybe people will get out of their cars and start dancing.
I never saw the video before. What fun! It's every commuter's fantasy. The story is exactly how I got turned on to ES.I started bopping down the freeway and when I got off, I pulled over and started searching for a pen...
Fantasticoooooooooooo!!!!!!! Eperanza è FAntasticooooooooooo !! Bravissimi tutti , video e brano meravigliosi! ti ho visto a Lucca nel 2016 non lo scorderò mai
it like she read my mind! after work, i was tired of the radio so i downloaded this album and listened to it in my car. sadly it was rush hour, but this song came up and i was happy just groovin' and singing it wrong. haha
i 'met' Esperanza just a few day's ago at youtube, but i already bought her cd's. Swinging, musical, grooving (my style, ooh yeah) sound great and is just nice to listen too.
This song is great on many levels. The lyrics are great but listen for the point and counterpoint between the voice, rhythm section, horns, and of course the bass. The blending of styles is remarkable and worth listening to many times to appreciated what she has pulled together.
Soooo nice... I've already discovered the video today, after having your "la la la la la la la" buzzing in my head all night long. My kids are also delighted with the song and vídeo.
I'm a retired drummer who loves mathematics as much as he loves music, because they are really both one, and the same thing. My love for math led me to discover your music. Now I am in love with you. You go girl!
that makes me smile and give emotional positive energy to love life as it is...(accepation) thx for many beautiful notes Esparanza.. bless & take care :) ;) :D
Just discovered her and I'm blown away! Heard this cut on a college radio station (since it's too good for regular radio). Wow, the funky bass line, the complex melody, the beautiful vocals... sign me up! Can't wait to hear the whole record and see her live!
Esperanza ! I woke up at 5.30 am because I wanted so much to hear this song, The Song ! What a groove ! I love love love love it ! Thank you so much Esperanza !
Heard the song like 1000 times and still I want to dance. What a girl! :D Moving like Michael Jackson, a voice that makes me think she is Charlie Parkers' sax and playing bass like Mingus, Chambers and Pastorius. And it all works together. Damn!
I met Esperanza last night...she is absolutley as wonderful as her music!!
I hear Erykah Badu, Basia and Steely Dan in this one track alone. Brilliant. The world of jazz was waiting for Esperanza.
Yes, except Steely Dan sucks
@ really??
She will definitely contribute to healing America, but this country needs more than just her. We need everyone. Together. :)
Man, Radio Music Society saxophone section is just the best...
I get that lump in my throat, shortness of breath. Eyes well with joyous tears. I love what she does to me. No one else ever did this in my 38 years of loving music.
This Song needs a LOVE button!! Warm & Fuzzy good feeling listening to this!
I love Esperanza Spaldings music so so much!! I own almost all of her cd albums. Sadly not many people know of her outside of the jazz musician community. I tell everybody about her music!
The way the sound changes at 2:15 get me teary eyed. It's just such a beautiful sound.
❣
truth
Playing bass so skilled and singing so effortless is crazy difficult. She's truly brilliant and groovy hair to bootsy
This lady is pure class.
oh. my goodness. so good. sooooo good. genius status.
This track is therapy after a long day at the job...loop it a few times on the way home from work and you're guaranteed to feel better. Only genius can get this accomplished while singing about it!
Cool .Whit-It I agree with you... pure genius!
Or on the way to work this songs da1
Right now you need it, driving yourself through the hard times
Traffic won't speed up, so you turn the radio on
But it's the same old stuff that makes you yawn
Well somehow he feels it and the DJ here at the station
Sends sweet salvation, when he starts to play this song
Now you can't help singin' along
Even though you never heard it
You keep singin' it wrong
This song will keep you grooving
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Ooh, this song's the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
Words are speaking through you
Ooh, this song's the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Yes, this song's the one
Even though you never heard it
You keep singing it wrong, this song's the one
And then they start mixing it up
When you're tired and scared of missing something
Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better
Enter that song
Now that's how we know the power of song can save
When you're tired and scared of missing something
Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better
Enter that song
Now that's how we know the power of song can save
That's how we know the power of song can save
Well it can surely save the day and keep you grooving
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
Words are speaking through you
Yes, this song's the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Yes, this song's the one
Smiling and driving, sounds like soon it might be over
So you pull over, and start scrambling for a pen
But another comes in again
Paper in hand, you, can't help movin' while you're listenin'
Your skin starts bristlin', here comes the part you know
And you can't help singing along, even though you never heard it
And you keep singing it wrong
This song will keep you grooving
(Can't stop it moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
The words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Ooh, this song's the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
When the words are speaking through you
Ooh, this song's the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Yes, this song's the one
Yes, this song's the one
Now if you want to
Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart
(Play it to lift your spirits)
Because you like to, because you need to
This song's the one
Now if you want to
Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart
Because you like to, because you need to
Now if you want to
Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart
Because you like to, because you need to
Now if you want to
Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart
Because you like to, because you need to

More like Jaco meets Billie☺️
In fact, her name should be in this list. Why gender comparison? She is her own version.
@@akemygoto4425 that wasn’t my intent. All I was saying was she’s right up there with the greats before her. She even surpassed some of them. It was just a compliment, no more no less. And you’re right, she IS her own version (gonna edit that in my comment, thank you).
I was nine feet away from her last night in Charlotte. Her and her band was crucial. She funny as hell to and even more beautiful in person.
I can see how you think that but she's definitely not selling out.

The oldies are great, but I am excited that I finally have an artist from my generation I can share with my kids...
I'm in love. This song IS the one. And all your songs girl. I wish they would play this on the radio. Thank God for bluetooth.
this song's the one...beauruful song beautufully sung.
I must say that the video is fun to watch, too. I should keep this CD in my car and play it the next time I'm in a traffic jam. Maybe people will get out of their cars and start dancing.
thank you for a great time Esperenza
Generally love the groove in most of her songs !!!
Really has this repetitive feel in a lot of her tunes, snare hit on 3, bass line on 2&, 3, 4.
What a brilliant song, brilliantly sung by Esperanza.
Saw her at Yoshi's Oakland in 2008, after stumbling on either on npr or UA-cam in a search bass musicians. Whatta find! Solid Gold!
This song actually put me in a better mood. Love her.
this sooooong’s the oneeeee🗣️🗣️🗣️
2022 - I needed this today!
This is the smartest song EVER! Such intelligent song writing! If people are not listening to this there is something wrong with them! Beautiful!
I never saw the video before. What fun! It's every commuter's fantasy. The story is exactly how I got turned on to ES.I started bopping down the freeway and when I got off, I pulled over and started searching for a pen...
OH THE POWER OF SONG! What a wonderful world we live in!
I adore her. She's a breath of fresh air.
This song is definitely the one..
