@@karenhamilton3115 Well, one stanza of the song may have been influenced by this very famous psalm - although not literally "taken" - but this isn't strange: "He who truly loves ever keeps in his imagination the face of his beloved, and there embraces it tenderly. Such a man can get no relief from his strong desire even in sleep, even then he holds converse with his loved one. So it is with our bodily nature; and so it is in spirit. [...] Blessed is he who has obtained such love and yearning for God as an enraptured lover has for his beloved..." (St. John Climacus) 🙂
This is definitely gospel. She doesn't mention Jesus by name, but that is who the love affair is with. The structure of the song is entirely gospel, not just Gospel influenced, it is entirely Gospel.
Lizz has the spirit of Mahalia, she's got that ability that Queen Aretha HAS to speak directly to the hidden parts of the soul and call it to the surface. What an amazing pure minister of music she is.
What more could one say? You have the words of wisdom. The power of that voice and the gentle demeanor she carries her gift - it is priceless. All in all - magnetic🤗
Father God thank you for this moment. The perfect song not only for the world but for all that’s facing difficulties and challenges in their lives. We all need you now more than ever. Cover us Lord in our going out and our coming in. Strengthen our faith. I pray for healing miracles for those who are battling health issues beyond their control. Just know that God is always on time. Hold hold on and don’t give up the fight. He’s right there with you. Amen!!
I must have listened to this song a hundred times, and every time I do, I hear something that makes the hair on my skin stand up. Lizz is good medicine.
I was there too... in Paradiso. I'm honoured to have seen her in real. What she is doing with the word "never" at 1:47... not only a great voice, but also great control. My favourite vocalist, together with the late Paul Robeson.
I love her; she goes so deep and stays clear at every level. no tricks, no vibrato...just open and controlled. i'd love to hear her with cassandra wilson. plus, gotta say it: her expression is exultant. l love her.
Girl, what a voice you have! And that's no it: you have total control of it and know how to use it for the song, without overdoing it. You feel the music and respect it. That's rare and so important! Love it!
The middle child of a minister from rural Georgia, Lizz took the music world by storm in 2003 with breakout performances at Billie Holiday tributes in Chicago and Los Angeles and with her debut album Salt (Verve), where her rich gospel-trained contralto soared amidst a soulful R&B-meets-jazz setting. The New York Times' Stephen Holden was moved to call her "a young singer and songwriter of astonishing maturity and poise" and write that "in her debut album and on the stage, Ms. Wright delivers spun gold . stir(ring) jazz, gospel, and rhythm-and-blues into a reflective, flowing style that elongates songs into prayerful meditations that never wander into vagueness. Pitch-perfect, with a smoky, full- bodied texture . impressive in its steadiness, control and rhythmic subtlety." 0:39 [Excerpt copied from All About Jazz]
There is something about this live. I find myself coming to this version rather than the recorded. Lizz, the musicians- perfection! “I’m aching for the sweet things you do”
Dear Lizz.i,ve seen you twice live in Berlin/Germany.The second time,i saw you after the concert outside on the Street,you were walking to your car.You were eating an apple and you said that you are so hungry.We both laughed and i told you, that you,re just wonderful.I will never forget this moment.I realy love you and your beautyful voice and the adorable way you are.Sooo sweet.God bless you.May you be always save,happy and be loved.💝🌺🌹
Darling, you are always needed And your tenderness is needed too And it seems I'm never tired, never tired of loving you Loving you Never was a feeling stronger See I'm aching, aching for the sweet things that you do Oh, and its seems I'm never tired, never tired of loving you Should the mountains (should the mountains) Crumble to ashes (start to crumble) And if the rain (the rain) Should cease to fall (cease to fall) And if the rivers (if the rivers) Stopped their flowing (stopped their flowing) You would still (still be) My all in all (my all) And if the clouds (if the clouds) Cover the sky (covered the sky) So that the sunlight (the sunlight) The sunlight won't come through (won't get through) Even then See I'll never (never), I'll never (never), Said I've never (never), I'd never (never), I'll never tire of loving you.
My two favorite living vocalists. Actually, Lizz is my favorite female vocalist of all time. Gregory Porter has to take a back seat to Nat "King" Cole.
Lizz, woman I know you're busy but can you come by my family reunion in Charleston, SC in Aug 2020 and sing this song to my beautiful Chiles/Child's Family???? Please, I'll make you a 5 Flavor Pound Cake.
Wow. What can I say. Where have you been all my life. God has truly blessed you with the richest of gifts that's in a unique lane all of it's own. The tone and richness of your voice is so beautiful. I celebrate you and salute God for blessing you with such a beautiful gift to bless my home and my life. I'm a front line nurse and your music could not have come at a better time. God bless you even more Lizz and keep shining x
Liz's, I've been so depressed for so long and then I heard your beautiful voice and saw your incredibly gorgeous face, and I smiled for the first time in a long while. I don't feel so lonely any more. Thank you my sweet princess.
I remember Lizz signing my CD copy of her second album at Amoeba Records Hollywood 12 years ago (Dreaming Wide Awake) and telling her she didn't need to make the Billboard charts to be successful in the music industry. When I said that, she perked right up from her table and quickly made direct eye contact with me. Then she lets out a truly enthusiastic "THANK YOU!", as if she was waiting her entire life for someone to come up and just break it to her proper. If you're reading this comment Lizz, I'm glad you took my words to heart all those years ago sista:::wink:::wink:::I'll be sure to grab your latest album release as well because you've already become one of my top music artists in terms of providing a very important piece to my life's ongoing soundtrack. And DAT VOICE, my goodness...how can someone so young possess such a powerfully moving instrument like yours!?!?!? A divine gift earned over multiple lifetimes, perhaps? ;-D
I'm so glad I found this through spotify. Her voice was just so melodious and dreamy at the same time- this blues/jazzy style of music is such a wonderful break from the trendy music playing rn😂 I think I'm in love ❤
I always have been a fan of THE VOICE ___ I wanted some young lady to do this piece. Then I heard this ----- maybe other vocalists ought to leave this alone!
If you have to convince any one they are not music people. ___ that's ok it takes all kinds. BUT. Any music person instantly recognizes her greatness. For me. She's like Ray. Her soulfulness goes directly to my bones
Love her music I never get tired of listening to this beautiful talented woman. Sing on sweet lady your songs your voice is timeless keep singing these heartfelt songs that live with us forever 💕
Lizz falls off my radar from time to time. With songs like WAP playing 20x's a day on the radio, makes you wonder why no room for the Lizz Wright's of the world
With such enchanting singing, "the mountains won't crumble to ashes", they will grow wings and gather around this angel in chorus... many thanks to all the musicians!
Ms. Wright, your performance of this song soothes my aching soul. The earthiness of your tone, the soulfulness of your sound, and the skillfulness of your vocal control, brings a joy worthy of sinking one's teeth into. And your graceful sincerity made my heart render the pure sentiment of it's lyric. 👏👏👏THANK YOU! This, and so much more, are all beautifully packaged together in you. Your music is a "must own" for me.❤U
I was just looking for a song with the title “I’ll never get tired of loving you”…and my search brought me to Lizz Wright. What an incredibly astounding voice and beautiful lady! I’ve been blessed.
Tomorrow night in Hamburg!!! :-) I can't wait to listen to her divine voice. My friends and me go to her concert whenever she's in our city. Her singing and her presence on stage mean pure bliss. I'm thankful to live in a time when such a great songstress is around. So gifted and beautiful singing from her heart and enjoying every moment of her music with her fine musicians.
Love Love LOVE!!!! Oh my goodness, I could listen to this every hour! I got the gift of seeing this beautiful lady live, and dare I say she's even more impressive live than recorded
Honestly I can Hardly Listen to Any other Singer since I listen to her She gives so much in a song straight from her heart. Maybe an opera diva comes closer to her well no surprise Lizz studied classical music for a year Her singing speaks directly to my soul
My darling Strapper, I'd like to dedicate this beautiful song to you. I'm never tired of loving you. You're an amazing man and I'm lucky you chose me as your soulmate, lover, and best friend. 118 my precious. Xxx
Liz your voice is phenomenal! Heard you first time today on a tv vocal channel and then immediately looked you up on UA-cam. Wow. What a voice with which you ve been blessed. Thank you from Nashville
She simply takes your heart ____ a magnificent vocalist ___ it's almost like you took all the great qualities of our legends and created this wonderful lady____ I can even hear Mahalia
Not that familiar with Lizz Wright. I heard her sing this song and the moment she opened her mouth I got chills and tears leaped from my face. VERY FEW singers affect me in this way. 🥺 even the ones I like.
When it is time for Me, Myself and I to get together to reach down into the core of our being, I listen to Lizz Wright. The depth of her songs and her voice are powerful , melodic and soothing. She takes me to my surface. ❤❤❤❤🎉🔥
Simply amazing and awesome! The most beautiful voice in music today, such an amazing rendition, I agree with everyone else here, Nina most certainly would be proud, and I too will never get tired of Lizz Wright’s beautiful voice!!
I heard her sing for 1st time at a Jazz festival taped on PBS. Her voice is so breathtaking. When I'm in a certain mood,She is my go to Artist. I sing alto,also. This tone is the meat.
This song has such a rich history, written by Carolyn Franklin (Aretha's baby sister) and performed by Nina Simone, Lizz honors them so well
The only singer that can turn a love song to a spiritual experience!
You have a good ear- actually it’s the other way around. Some of the lyrics are from Psalm 46:2 in the Bible

Perfect description!!!!!!!! Perfect!!!!!!
She has such a gorgeously warm voice, like being wrapped in a velvet blanket.
Susan, ditto to your description of Ms Wright❤
What more could one say? You have the words of wisdom.
The power of that voice and the gentle demeanor she carries her gift - it is priceless.
All in all - magnetic🤗
My ears have never been happier! Her tone is rich/chocolate/velvet/ soul.
Yes

Ms Wright, one of today's best and totally underrated... still treasure the album Salt
I must have listened to this song a hundred times, and every time I do, I hear something that makes the hair on my skin stand up. Lizz is good medicine.
Lizz sings from the depth of life itself
If you read this Lizz. You belong to the highest ranks of vocalists. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. Hope to see you in march in Paradiso.
Wonderful voice! Magic.
I was there too... in Paradiso. I'm honoured to have seen her in real. What she is doing with the word "never" at 1:47... not only a great voice, but also great control. My favourite vocalist, together with the late Paul Robeson.
Omg agreee
I saw Lizz at the Union Chapel, Islington (London) in 2018. Her voice is simply second to none. This song sends shivers down my spine
Me too. I took a friend for his birthday. Magical performance
I HAVE ZERO RESERVATIONS IN SAYING THIS 6 bars of music into this song my face has tears running down it!!!
My husband's godfather played this song at his holiday gathering 3 days ago. Now it has me in a chokehold.❤
LIZ VOICE IS A PRICELESS GIFT FROM GOD..MAY SHE CONTINUE TO TOUCH THE HEARTS ♥️ OF EMPTY SOULS THROUGH HER BEAUTIFUL VOICE!!♥️♥️♥️
I love her; she goes so deep and stays clear at every level. no tricks, no vibrato...just open and controlled. i'd love to hear her with cassandra wilson. plus, gotta say it: her expression is exultant. l love her.
Phenomenal vocalist and band. You don’t hear singers like her these days. I also love the subtle churchy vibe. Just overall good stuff!!
Girl, what a voice you have! And that's no it: you have total control of it and know how to use it for the song, without overdoing it. You feel the music and respect it. That's rare and so important! Love it!

How am I just learning of her? Amazing. So glad to know of another amazing female jazz and soul vocalist. Go girl
Thank the heavens and the earth and everything up above and in between for this woman, her soul, and her voice!
Found her by accident while listening to Gregory Porter. So glad I did. What a beautiful voice. We don't see singer like this anymore.
My two favorite living vocalists. Actually, Lizz is my favorite female vocalist of all time. Gregory Porter has to take a back seat to Nat "King" Cole.
No we sure don't!!! Found her from Marc Broussard station!!! THANKFUL THANKFUL!!!
This is what magic sounds like....
