Iyeoka, I love your music from ten years ago...I was raised on your words - as a teenager finding herself in the world and her purpose. You gave me strength when I had none, and inspiration when I was totally empty. I hope that you continue to put forth your fiery, passionate, unchained voice in the world - with words of a higher meaning, of purpose, of fighting for the only thing that matters - overcoming hardships and becoming love.
Huh. This is brilliance. Like the love-child of Gil Scott Heron and MeShell NdegeOcello, trained by Erykah Badu and Tracy Chapman. Very cool. Seven years on, good to see her getting some major attention -- aptly deserved. Can't believe I'm the first commenter in two years, though.
She appears most willing to arrest 'arrested development', which confounds our societies on so many fronts in the western world. Voices like this can get up my grille anytime, I will feel encouraged and honoured to hear them. Genuine courage doesn't look for affirmation/back-up, it simply does. This lady has courage.
8) Trust the ways, pass the motion of the rip tight Just so we can both see the sun rise In a ribbon, in a cloud in the sky The simple things, i want to make my father proud And my mother understand because i chose right this time You see, its quieter than sleep, and This is the stuff in life that can make you believe That just one turn west wound can fast forward
It should be a Classic. She put into words what many other songs tried to represent, our life into poem, how simple is to miss the importance of our life, how easy it to forget how to simply breath.
I love this! I am a new fan of Iyeoka; youre amazing! And the technology of youtube is simply amazing...allowing us to 'discover' for ourselves amazing talents like this. Wow!
my niña simone. simply outstanding Iyeoka sings and speaks to the sounds of life's essence: Spirit, Mind, & Body. profound performer and humble human being. inspiración es gratis. paz.
3) I’ll sing you a song and teach you how to turn it around And build it back to the idea in which it came from. These are manifestations of truth Translating trouble daydreams Into effortless dramas in The perfect night vision I’ll sing you a song that says Nothing about lullabies, full of horning labels We look nothing but multiple choice We’ll sound nothing like pointless prepositions Put there for the propose of controlling you And waisting your heart and precious spending time
This is not what it seems-- do not turn off till you get to 1:55, at least. - that tingling sensation and shivers is the brilliance working its way through your thoughts, mixing nostalgia, epiphany and déjà vu, as you realize that you've had these thoughts, you remember them, it was some time ago, and they were no less of an epiphany then than now.
10) Showing you a simple way to see Through all of the colors of an unsolved rubik’s cube Reconfirming elements of light that you already know Sing me a song for the false starts, Flatt notes and brand new broken bridges And teach me how to turn it around And we will sing those songs and resuscitate the society To hard beats that justify humanity Collectively, critically cross culturally A song that teaches us, that reminds us how How to just breath, just breath Lalala... Sounds like revolution!
Hey, i just met you earlier today n i missed ur performance n after hearing this, because i had to research u, i think i missed out of a great live performance. You will hear from me soon.
6 minutes of storytelling, its really good she should be famous
eh? nah man, there is not a "no" here*
One of the best texts I've ever listened to

TRUTH ~ Her lyrics are so meaningful, Can't get enough of Iyeoka, she's beautiful.
Huh.

Very cool.
Seven years on, good to see her getting some major attention -- aptly deserved.
Can't believe I'm the first commenter in two years, though.
Oh, I see. Top comment isn't the most recent any more.
I keep forgetting that.
Duh.
She appears most willing to arrest 'arrested development', which confounds our societies on so many fronts in the western world. Voices like this can get up my grille anytime, I will feel encouraged and honoured to hear them.

indeed it is
Powerful message in her music, something that's lacking in today's music..... There is still hope 👏👏
Just came across Iyeoka. Where has she been all my life? only a half dozen songs in and I'm friggin' hooked by the gizzards.
All honor...

8) Trust the ways, pass the motion of the rip tight
Just so we can both see the sun rise
In a ribbon, in a cloud in the sky
The simple things, i want to make my father proud
And my mother understand because i chose right this time
You see, its quieter than sleep, and
This is the stuff in life that can make you believe
That just one turn west wound can fast forward
OMG! So good! Musica e poema fantasticos!
It should be a Classic. She put into words what many other songs tried to represent, our life into poem, how simple is to miss the importance of our life, how easy it to forget how to simply breath.

3) I’ll sing you a song and teach you how to turn it around
And build it back to the idea in which it came from.
These are manifestations of truth
Translating trouble daydreams
Into effortless dramas in
The perfect night vision
I’ll sing you a song that says
Nothing about lullabies, full of horning labels
We look nothing but multiple choice
We’ll sound nothing like pointless prepositions
Put there for the propose of controlling you
And waisting your heart and precious spending time
" a song powerful and fearless" you're right
MARAVILHOOOOOOOOOOOOSAAAA !!!!!! SEM PALAVRAS !!!!

10) Showing you a simple way to see
Through all of the colors of an unsolved rubik’s cube
Reconfirming elements of light that you already know
Sing me a song for the false starts,
Flatt notes and brand new broken bridges
And teach me how to turn it around
And we will sing those songs and resuscitate the society
To hard beats that justify humanity
Collectively, critically cross culturally
A song that teaches us, that reminds us how
How to just breath, just breath
Lalala...
Sounds like revolution!
