Lyrics:
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
Nobody out there, but it's okay now,
bath in the sunlight, don't mind if rain falls,
take me outside, sit in the green garden,
Uh ah, uh ah uh,
Uh ah, uh ah uh
And I'll fly on the wings of a butterfly
high as a tree top and down again
putting my bag down, taking my shoes off
walk in the carpet of green velvet
Dance in my garden like we used to,
Uh ah, uh ah uh
Dance in my garden like we used to,
Uh ah, uh ah uh
Take me outside, sit in the green garden
nobody out there, but it's okay now,
bath in the sunlight, don't mind if rain falls,
take me out, seat in the green garden
I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go
I'll go, wherever you go, wherever you take me, I'll go

Who's here in 2021
Still got mad love for this Goddess 😍😍😍
She is so talented...I noticed her first time back in 2010 with That's alright
This is talent, the voice is unbelievable. Straight 💭💯
2022 now ;)
2023 in France
I'm here in 2023. Love this song.
Music needs this woman! Young ears need to hear complex harmony, percussion, soul roots with a tribal heartbeat. This is something good.
Yes
I am going to buy her albums tomorrow when I get paid!!! 😄 She is phenomenal ✌
i was stunned by the total effect
Love 😍 this tune 🎶 👍
This song was shit just like every other song after 2002
I feel like there's power in the happiness of this song.
There is
oh there isssssssss!!
Aaron Carson this song is beautiful, when I say in my beautiful mumas sat in my dad's garden when I was young, I can never get those precious moments back.xxx
There isn’t why are you guys talking of it like it’s good
Amazing
she is BEAUTIFUL
Tshepiso Modupe really?
Dan Lord 😂😂😂
Indeed
Which country this lady from??
She? How am I supposed to tell?!?
Cheers me up in a melancholy sorta way
like 😍
Oxymoronic
Janelle monae
@@zenoplanets7868 no it isn't I know perfectly what he means. It's like when you think of a happy moment with a deceased loved one
This song popped into my head. I forgot how beautiful this was😭🌻
The anthem of afrofuturism and solarpunk
My mum and dads' song was Follow You Follow Me by Genesis, this song is mine and my wife's.
It's the spiritual successor... Passing the torch: "will you follow me, I will follow you" leads into "I go wherever you go, wherever take me, I go"
Thank-you Miss Mvula, this song was our first dance at our wedding.
Kings Heaaaaath vibes
It's those 'drinking glasses' being played *sound* at the start of this song that get's me every time.....it's a stunning sound. Combined with the unusual & lovely melody and that great *BIG* driving beat.....makes this song so good, on so many levels. This is a very sophisticated song. *Bravo Laura Mvula!*
This video and this woman is SO BEAUTIFUL! This is ORGANIC music.
Thomas Farmer Organic ? :D What exactly is Organic on this piece of... Music is electric, rythm is created by the computer and voice is adjusted in recording studio.
+Dark Floy, we know, but the feel and topic is.
Dark Floy Music is emotive. Just like perfume that consists of many ingredients and 'notes' we perceive it differently and read a story into it. I guess Mvula's video adds to my 'organic' impression of it.
Thomas Farmer it feels organic because the clapping and simple layers and riffs are reminiscent to improvised music especially from tribes
Thomas Farmer this song is about as organic as a processed fast food meal! Catchy tune and a beautiful black women coming through with the lyrics but organic it is not...
U.K. black excellence 👌🏽 need to bring some of this back into the industry
Originality is rare these days but this girl's got it. Beautiful song.
Finally a video showing us happy, healthy, beautiful, free and decently clothed. The song is incredble too so that makes it all even better. Love Laura Mvula's music forever.
2024 and still listening- for some reason now it kinda gets me emotional just remember the memories attached to this tune🥲
Perfect! Thanx from Russia)
На радио слышал)
Вау!
She is very mesmerizing! She resembles the very ancient Egyptian figures painted on tomb walls and in the museums...
You mean mesmerizing?
smiley rester
Yes-most ignored the typo and mentally filled in the blanks. I do that often 😉
Bella Lol sorry
Sheesh.
Yooo! Glad I'm not the only one who's reminded of Kemet. Can't help thinkin she'd make a great GRW Tiye.
Strange that this song makes me feel happy and sad at the same time..
You should be taking zyprexa pills then
@@R0B_WR can you spare some? Junkie boi
Me too! It's my go to happy song but brings a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat. Good music can take us anywhere x
wow, can't decide what gets more under my skin: her looks or her voice. both simply beautiful.
I agree 100%
finally found this song. i haven’t listened to it in years and i remember finding this song bc of a colorguard show i loved used this song.
I remember when this song had less than 1000 views :) Been here since the beginning Laura. And I'm so happy and proud you're growing as an artist, you totally deserve it, it's obvious you put your soul in your music
lol that's cool! I meant to watch this many months ago but forgot..... everything about it is so so beautiful!
@@R0B_WR This is fake.
It's hot as hell where I am, but my skin has got "the chills!" Go 'head, girl, do it!
thats nice
What? Why are there so many rambling people here is this a Jesus song or something is this what they play at retirement homes
I am now obsessed
This song and video are AMAZING.
It is the side of black life that you don't often get to see. The beauty of jet-blackness and Afrocentricity rather than the constant pathologizing of them.
Bravo.
Beautiful song with beautiful people in it. Nice to see black representation. Thank you Laura x
nonto mponda Black Representation?
Finn P Yes BLACK REPRESENTATION. Is there something wrong with positive Black representation?
sonyapeach Why do black people need to be represented? I don’t need representing.
Finn P I guess that's you but the negative representation they put in movies news and music is still going to effect you. I love to see people who look like me after 30 yrs of not seeing anyone who looked like me in a positive light. So I guess you are different. Go be different.
Being a black man myself I do get a bit pissed off when racism is repeatedly spoke about, it's like when I go to a football match they say 'Oh it's anti-racism day today" , I go to watch a game of football, yes It's great that the racism I experience now isn't as bad as it used to be but save this stuff for outside a football ground or any other place, I go there to unwind.
This is so cute
SHE’S SO PRETTY
Listened to this when I was a teen and just like, heard a snippet and nostalgia during this pandemic
SO EXCITED TO SEE HER AT AFROPUNK
yes that was an amazing set
I cried watching this. The most beautiful video I've ever seen!!!!!!
I'd been searching for it since it came out I finally found it life goals achived
Can you believe I did too?? Too much beauty to cope with...
I cried the first time too, goosebumps as well. The dancing outside under the Sun and trees....Soul Blackfulness.
@Michael Furlonger best be getting a better life then
4TiTude06 if you cry over this the dump will make you bawl
Mama Mvula please keep on keeping on , thank you for your unique sound, they will catch up!
A gift from the gods
I forgot how good this song was 😍
One of my teachers in primary school played this song while we did our work in Year 2. I've now finished secondary school🥲 time flies
JUST DISCOVERED HER. THIS SONG IS SO NICE!!!!!!
Best song ever
Smooth.
After all these years I still love this songggg 😍
I remember being in a phase where I would watch the musical guest of the late night talk shows even if i didn't know the artist or band. David Letterman had Laura Mvula on and of course I was immediately interested. That clip used to be on youtube but got removed :( She and her band were amazing :)
Something so refreshing about this video. Sheer simplicity and poetic spring in motion. These BEAUTIFUL MAHOGANY brothers and sisters are giving men such a refreshing vibe.
Who's Here In 2022??
I Love Laura Mvula!!!!! She's so beautiful, radical and unique !!!! This is one of my favorite songs by her 😇😇😇
Reminds me of summer every time. Love it 😻
This video is what I wish Solange had used for her "Losing You" song. This is the perfect portrayal of queens doing their thing. This was so kind to watch, I adored it.
This song is really. truly. amazingly. beautiful
This song makes me so happy.
No one cares
Bruh, you don't understand this song until you're in Tescos at like 7am on your way to school and it's dead - it's only you, this song and your oasis. I don't need to be high anymore.
This shit needs to be known .. No SHE NEEDS to be popular she is amazing man and there are alto of singers who really can't sing but are will known she has pure talent and people need to know her !
Ahh yes, i remember listening to this. Beautiful ❤️✨
Absolutely beautiful song! This brings me so much joy. Thank you Ms. Mvula!
So ahead of it's time
All the beautiful melanated goddesses and gods in this video, just make my heart sing.
Total magic in this song.
Black, Exquisite, Beautiful, Woman; Mother of all Humanity.

+chakira adam You know that if it wasn't for these 'devils' you wouldn't even be able to write this comment?
sOmebOdyrand0m this
chakira adam for me the Devil is the one who's full of hate... I feel sorry for you.
Lily Williams Why because you think white people invented writing? That's laughable. Lol 😂
So simple and joyous.
My girl Jill Scott sent me on a search for Miss Laura and Jill being the epitome of great music and all things classy here I am and glad I took the journey. New fan in the making!!!
Still as fresh as when it was first released. Looking forward to Laura's music livestream on 24/2/21...she's back.
This whole album just never gets old! :)
Forgot how awesome this was...
Well that is the happiest I've felt all day :)
It is shameful that Sony dropped this hugely talented lady.
Why did they drop her ?
This looks so African and I love it.
is it because shes black
ezzy yeah which makes it so beautiful
I really like this song. They played this song a lot on ESPN during Wimbledon this year.
New age vintage & retro 60 & Grace Jones energy.
This song is very powerful especially in a time like this where the world is slowly ending, we need more music like this, amazing talented artists like Laura Mvula and Dodie need more recognition so we can bring peace to this world and end all this terrifying chaos.
I love how this is styled, choreographed and shot. Beautiful song!
Just heard this playing in Dealz of all places and just had to stop and look it up . Now I'm walking around bloody Dealz with tears in my eyes, beautiful song
Shameless brought me to this woman! How does she not get the exposure she deserves!
Nico & Vinz should make a song with her. That'd be epic!
I was thinking that too lol
That would be amazing and John Legend
YEAH! Epic RAD SKATE BOARDS SLURPYS oh wait this bitch doesn’t seem to fit in with those things, now why’s that...
I love this song and message. I also love the video that showcases beautiful, strong, and classy black women. 👍🏾
Heard this today on NPR, American Routes, which is kind of funny because she is British, but I immediately loved the rhythm and her voice. Now I see the dancing and it's all very lovely.
So jubilant! I love the feel of this video, its light and happiness. I am a FOOOL for light spirited smiling Black boys. Gorgeous!
Music like this, is needed in times like these, for all the reasons. Thank you, Laura Mvula, for giving it to us
My kids LOVE this song. Just pure happiness.
I love this song and the rest of her album.
Unglaublich.....cool und sau gut...hammer !!!
Can’t believe this is 9 years old and I have only just heard this on BBC RADIO 6 music… From the moment it started I was mesmerised/ Beautiful sounds and beautiful lyrics !!!! ..
Now jus seen the video and I so happy 😀 👍👍… On a hot summer day this is great as I sat chilling with nature ..
if Formation didnt exist this would have been my favourite video. shes so COOL
Well Beyoncé is credited for what darker skinned female artists been doing...
Hippiegoddess142 can we not play the 'who's whiter' card here. black excellence shouldn't be a tournament. artistically speaking Formation is just right up my alley (Freedom especially).
+vivanesca I will because colorism. :)))
Hippiegoddess142 idk how that helps anyone but ok whtvr
laura mvula isnt the first black person to wear a dress in natural hair in the woods for a music video and she isnt going to be the last
would you prefer beyonce just stop utilising her large fan base to black struggles???
SO much soul... This made me SO happy. Thank you. :)
She makes me proud! 💚
She is stunning!!!
Takes me back to Double-Dutch jump rope days!
I’m gonna leave the undiagnosed dementia patient alone
WOW! IT'S A GREAT SONG.
THIS BETTER BE SARCASM BECAUSE THIS SONG WAS UTTER GARBAGE
I'm sooooo glad I found this song
THIS right here is my no. 1 morning song!!!!
Those harmonies are amazing
Absolutely stunning track!!!!
"Laura Mvula has a voice like the Queen has a house: classy, and so big she doesn't need to use all of it at once. This very good debut single is duly a masterclass of restraint. As much as Mvula could let rip in a kind of post-Amy Winehouse retro soul sort of way, Green Garden keeps something on the bench for later: the minimal, chiming repetitions of the production and Mvula's understated Nina Simone delivery are as much the key to the song's success as the eventual gospel explosion of the chorus. She's supporting Jessie Ware soon, but one suspects she might be the one who will carry the day."
gorgeous
The harmonies are to DIE FOR!
she reminds me of Nina Simone. Love her sound.
She also reminds me a little of Joan Armatrading, one of my all time favourites.
Coco Chanelleke Thank you for letting me know about Joan Armatrading. She is beautiful, very beautiful!. I'm actually upset I never knew about her.
Be glad, not upset! (I should say that to myself more often...) Armatrading simply wasn't a mainstream artist, and not even always easy on the ears for admirers of her music. I wish you the very best for 2015 Kira & greetings from the NL xxx
I was going to make a similar remark. There's something in the voice that reminds me of Nina Simone. That is meant as a huge compliment BTW. Love this!
Sandra Harriette v
Summer where are you? Hurry up!
Glad I stumbled across the artist. Nice to see women dancing in a video without half being damn near makes. Beautiful song.
Joyful and very blissful!!!!!!!!!!!! Fly like butterfly... very sweet.
i heard this when it came out then i forgot about it and for the last week the lyrics have been stuck in my head but i finaly found it . Love this song
No one cares the people who liked your comment were probably scrolling the comment section with a joint in their mouth
Ack! I just looked it up, I'm only 7 years late lol. It's so beautiful!
Much love from Kenya sister Mvula.... keep Going
This deserves more views
This song helps me in so many ways. I'm so happy when I listen to this song !
This song makes me feel so happy because listing to it makes me try to over dose on anti depressants
I remember I use to listen to this 24/7 and somehow it wriggled out of my life and I have just found her again!
I saw her on a show and though her and her voice was beautiful and I needed to hear more. Agh I’m just so happy right now!💛
damn this woman is amazing
Thank you Joe Lycett for introducing me to this song! Xx
