Amazing to read all these comments from 3 and 4 years ago! They are so touching and real - thanks to all of you for saying what I feel in my heart when I listened to her....my brother sent this song to me as a kind of birthday present - I'm 71 and I never heard anything this sweet, this beautiful - Alynda Lee is something else and I wish her a long life full of all that a human needs and keep on singing baby, you are a gift!
Proof that you don't need to play really fast or know loads of chords or use complex time-signatures or fancy shit to sound absolutely stunning. Such a simple, stripped-back performance but still compelling and pretty magical!
the power of the one clap! @4:56
When the 'mainstream' pop music is an attractively packaged s..t of Walmart quality it is amazing that some people still make this kind of music.
Or... maybe it is not that surprising.
WARNING: That voice will make you melt!
I miss New Orleans.
Such an amazing, and beautiful city.
this is a river & its coming through, it doesn't need speed, as it is deep & wide 👍💖🎤🎸😎
Still fuckin with this years later what a song bird 🕊️
This song makes me feel so nostalgic.
It takes a special kind of talent to make new music that sounds like it is a classic.
Easily in my top 3 of Hurrays
This song is one of the most beautiful slow songs out there. I can't get enough of this song, I just love it with all my heart.
Man. I am late to this wonderful world of Riff Raff and I couldn't be more sorry for it.
I came for Black Jack Davy and stayed and subscribed for St Roch Blues, big thumbs up.
I love this song
I'm 23 years old raised on classic music this is so refreshing and amazing glad I found her
I just love this song. it is simply addicting.
So glad I found this. Thanks for sharing.
Beautyfull song
Awesome video! We included it in our 2014 New Orleans Jazz Fest Artists playlist!
Phenominal! I am thankful for Hooray For the Riff Raff.
this song still gets to straight to the core of me every time I hear it
NPR Latino Usa introduced me to their music! absolutely love it
Seen live in Dublin end of August 2022. An amazing gig!
There must be somewhere in this whole world
There must be somewhere in this whole world
Cause I keep on trying, I keep on trying
I keep on trying, I keep on trying!
Bullets are flying from a young man’s hands
People are dying, no one understands
And I keep on crying, I keep on crying
I keep on crying, I keep on crying
Baby, please don't go
Down in New Orleans
Cause you don't know
The things that I've seen
Them bullets are flying
Bullets are flying
Bullets are flying
Bullets are flying
Got the St. Roch Blues
Down in my soul
I've seen so many
Of my good friends go
And it won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long
It won't be long
Till I go
Glad I stumbled upon this beautiful piece of art by a group of beautiful musicians. This reminds me of my grandmothers
Ooh I absolutely love this music. Sigh...They had me at the very first note. I can't get enough of them. I found them like I find a lot of my music, through Rolling Stone magazine. They have a music review section and I can't wait to get to that section every time I get my new issue to check out music I haven't heard before. And this is one band I immediately fell in love with. I also find music from the 'suggestions' on the side bar that comes up; I allow myself to get curious and keep digging find music I haven't heard before. Free your mind..

The voice of a strong Puerto Rican woman can change the world one ear at a time.. Pa'lante
Saw them open for City and Colour this weekend and I absolutely loved them. Her voice is so beautiful and inspiring.
This is absolutely wonderful. I keep hitting replay... and replay... and replay :)
I raise my glass to you, as long as it is in the St. Roch Tavern or Saturn Bar. I miss living and loving in New Orleans.
A thing of great beauty. Sparse, pure...Bravo!
This song and video are absolutely beautiful.
Speaks to my soul. Amazing, raw talent. Outstanding tune!!!
Beautiful music to be played outdoors on my deck in a late summer night having a glass of wine or a pint. So relaxing, low key and a different blues sound. Thank Aly :)
There is soul and then there is soul... This young lady has done a lot more than just sing a song with this video.... she gives us a glimpse of her soul and it is special.... I must see her live..... Jerry Dupas (ex St. Roch Park)
Got to see her at 2014 New Orleans Jazz Fest and was stunned. Grabbed the audience and didn't let go....better live!
Every very rare now and then, a group of musicians will sit together in a planned session just wanting to make some music, perhaps for a video or a CD, and something just clicks. This would seem to be one of those very rare now and thens. "Bet you can't do that twice" would be a winner. Thanks for sharing this very special very rare "now and then".
Watch the pianist at 5:34 ... He knows.
as sincere as music gets
Love Alynda Lee Sagara!!!
this is magic
I fell in love with this song a couple a years ago and every song that Alynda sings.Such a beautiful voice.Keep growing and expanding.Thank You for the songs.
This song is lovable and I'm loving it so much. Thank you Hurrat and thank you again.
Last time I saw them was at the always lounge in Nola I dont remember how long ago! Stoked to see them get the recognition they deserve!
When I grow up I want to be this kind of music.
Tears in my eyes the whole time... Thanks
She Has Such A Natural Sound!
beautiful, tender, life flavored
What a great sound. Hometown heroes is a great record.
Beyond beautiful!
I absolutely am in love with Hurray for the Riff Raff.
outstanding talents...simple...eloquent...all Riff Raff songs and vids. so impressive...so real.
So sublime... Can't get no better than this.
I had no idea the history behind Puerto Rico as far as America went until I listened to the Cool People who did cool stuff" podcast recently. And I have to say I'm ashamed to have been as ignorant of the crimes of my ancestors.
Absolutely enthralling piece of music by a wonderful songwriter and her outfit!
WOW. BRILLIANT ... can't stop listening. See you at Treefort in March.
Still here from first time I heard in 2017 from a itunes radio station.
Stunning..just stunning
beautiful, tender, innocence flavoured.
love their other stuff too, love them!!!!
this is wonder-full of soul!
This is one of my favorite videos ever.
I've seen so many of my good friends go, I loved them all, and I remember them when I listen to this song x
A chill goes right thru me.
oh so lovely
Perfectly beautiful voice from a perfectly beautiful young lady
I really like this band. I enjoy the mix of soul, R&B and everything. Great vocals and instruments. Transcendent. Looking forward to getting the new CD.
If you have not checked out Hurray for the Riff Raff's appearance on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert....please do!!....just wonderful!!
Lead singer Alynda Segarra released a statement via Facebook on the song's meaning:
"Hello friends, Sam Doores and I wrote this song in honor of a neighborhood called "St Roch" back in New Orleans, and for some friends who left this world too soon. But we also like to think of it as a prayer: for the city of new orleans, for those feeling desperate and down, for you and I to live together in peace. I hope it brings you comfort and strength. thank you for listening to our prayer. - Alynda"
