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 is here in 2024?❤
Me !!💪🏾😜
Me
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?!?
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.
The anthem of afrofuturism and solarpunk
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😭🌻
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...
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.
U.K. black excellence 👌🏽 need to bring some of this back into the industry
Kings Heaaaaath vibes
Perfect! Thanx from Russia)
На радио слышал)
Вау!
wow, can't decide what gets more under my skin: her looks or her voice. both simply beautiful.
I agree 100%
Originality is rare these days but this girl's got it. Beautiful song.
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.
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 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
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 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.
2024 and still listening- for some reason now it kinda gets me emotional just remember the memories attached to this tune🥲
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.
I Love Laura Mvula!!!!! She's so beautiful, radical and unique !!!! This is one of my favorite songs by her 😇😇😇
After all these years I still love this songggg 😍
I love this! Keep the Zambian Name up high!! Love!! The World needs to know about us!!
She makes me proud! 💚
I love this song and message. I also love the video that showcases beautiful, strong, and classy black women. 👍🏾
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
Listened to this when I was a teen and just like, heard a snippet and nostalgia during this pandemic
Still as fresh as when it was first released. Looking forward to Laura's music livestream on 24/2/21...she's back.
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 song is really. truly. amazingly. beautiful
Mama Mvula please keep on keeping on , thank you for your unique sound, they will catch up!
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.
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
Music like this, is needed in times like these, for all the reasons. Thank you, Laura Mvula, for giving it to us
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
So jubilant! I love the feel of this video, its light and happiness. I am a FOOOL for light spirited smiling Black boys. Gorgeous!
Absolutely beautiful song! This brings me so much joy. Thank you Ms. Mvula!
This song and video was AMAZING! I LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT. BEAUTIFUL AND CLASSY! THIS IS HOW YOUNG MELANATED LADIES SHOULD BE REPRESENTED.
Was everyone smoking a joint while watching this?!?
So true BEAUTY IS WHAT WE ARE
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 :)
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 😂
Ahh yes, i remember listening to this. Beautiful ❤️✨
This song makes me so happy.
No one cares
It is shameful that Sony dropped this hugely talented lady.
Why did they drop her ?
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.
I love this song so much it's on a playlist at work and rarely ever plays but whenever it's on I blast it and dance with all my customers. Shout out Laura Mvula Big up and live strong!
I forgot how good this song was 😍
How could this exist, and never heard it, until today by "accident" Beautiful song, and the performance with the metropole Orkest is just stunning
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 ..
Now this is what I am talking about: beautiful and happy music!!
No
I love how this is styled, choreographed and shot. Beautiful song!
This singer is great! This song is already one of my personal favourites!👍❤
Smooth.
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!
Fantastic song! What a talented artist a breath of fresh air in today's music scene
"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."
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.
PERFECT!!! ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS THAT I FOUND BY CHANCE!
My kids LOVE this song. Just pure happiness.
I love this song and the rest of her album.
Shameless brought me to this woman! How does she not get the exposure she deserves!
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
This whole album just never gets old! :)
Ahhh I'm so addicted to this song. So good!
A great feeling to get a song stuck in your head that you actually like!
skeptikai Hulu
I had a song stuck in my head and when trying to find it I found this garbage now I’m replying to 2.2k comments making fun of them for having a bad taste in music
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!!!
I sang this is my choir last year . I love her music and keep listening to it whenever we sing it ❤❤❤❤
This is so cute
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!💛
Takes me back to Double-Dutch jump rope days!
I’m gonna leave the undiagnosed dementia patient alone
So ahead of it's time
each video and song so far that I've seen and heard of her's is blowing my mind with absolute magnitude of magnificent I will do my research on her.
Jesus don’t ever say that again sounds like your trying to stalk/find porn on this chick
Just started listening to this wonderful woman. Am I the only person who is reminded of Imogen Heap with the texture of her voice? +
+Jake Van Ness Mmm whatcha talking about?
She deserves the success she is having, prepare ms. Mvula...much better things are coming your way ;)
Listening to this in my own green garden. Laura Mvula- POW! Delight of my ears.
Joyful and very blissful!!!!!!!!!!!! Fly like butterfly... very sweet.
SO EXCITED TO SEE HER AT AFROPUNK
yes that was an amazing set
All the beautiful melanated goddesses and gods in this video, just make my heart sing.
Love this video. Refreshing. Natural. Fun.
STOP this song has at least a 100 jump cuts was dubbed over and she uses autotune
Those harmonies are amazing
The harmonies are to DIE FOR!
Despite lies and oppression, our women now realize they have the most pretty skin tone. Now it's time for them to realize their natural hair texture's the BEST
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 absolutely made my day!!! Week. Month. Year! Together with Anthony Joseph... he also made my year...
WOW! IT'S A GREAT SONG.
THIS BETTER BE SARCASM BECAUSE THIS SONG WAS UTTER GARBAGE
Unglaublich.....cool und sau gut...hammer !!!
Glad I stumbled across the artist. Nice to see women dancing in a video without half being damn near makes. Beautiful song.
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
This looks so African and I love it.
is it because shes black
ezzy yeah which makes it so beautiful
Why have I missed this?!
Radio/Adverts in the UK but only now?
It’s beautiful ❤️👏🏻
Much love from Kenya sister Mvula.... keep Going
Total magic in this song.
I love her alto voice, I love how this video is filled with people of color. I just love everything about this song and her an the video. I need to listen to more of her music!
Lovely... It's about time, something original & fresh. Thank Gooooooooood.
"Music Forever" - Absolutely. Somehow this talented person has tapped into the heart of what makes people of African descent beautiful, and just spread it over her song, her video, her group and her self! Everything about this is beautifully 'timeless'.
Absolutely stunning track!!!!
Heard this in Old Navy today and had to Shazam it.
lml I heard it in old navy today and used sound hound
I heard this on UA-cam and deleted the app redownloaded it to make fun of comments like this
This is the most talented singer of the current generation
A gift from the gods
