    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!

    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.

    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

    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..

    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.

    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"
