Lyrics
Please stop asking
“Do you still love me?”
Don’t have much to say
Let’s speak in the morning
Please don’t do this
I’m too far away
Don’t know what to tell you
Babe
Chorus
No more hanging around
Oh
No more hanging around
Oh
Now my suns going to down
Oh
Telling me something isn’t right
Something isn’t right
Bittersweet summer rain
I’m born again
All my broken pieces
Bittersweet summer rain
I’m born again
Chorus
No more hanging around
Oh
No more hanging around
Oh
Now my suns going to down
Oh
Telling me something isn’t right
Something isn’t right
I slept all Friday
And he couldn’t get through
If we’re good tomorrow
Does that make it true?
Not completely
We’re picking that fight everyday
This shit’s going nowhere
Baby
Bittersweet summer rain
I’m born again
All my broken pieces
Bittersweet summer rain

Please do Scarlett Fae next
I've missed her voice so much
COLORS u heard my wish XD I LOVE YOU!!! Nows only Corinne Bailey Rae left to be here :D
@@HeliusRa OMG I agree!
COLORS 🙏🏽💚
She’s incredible and CRIMINALLY underrated.
K E
Yes she is!!
She’s underrated because she doesn’t put out much music unfortunately.
CRIMINALLY!!
Should be illegal
CRIMINALLYYYYY!
I don't know why COLORS didn't get Lianne earlier. But I'm glad they did.
I can imagine they've tried before, but she's probably got some new music coming out soon.
I highly recommend listening to Blood Solo EP and her performance from A Take Away Show. You will love her music even more!
Agreed! And Kiloo Kishh stan ayy
Joaquin Bernadez That's a great project. I found it on SoundCloud a while back.
She took a break from music
Shes's the definition of a healthy voice
IKR
Yeaaaaaah
And no autotune BS
For real
fr
Never gets old.
Unbelievably good vocal and a wonderfully written song. Heard it live in the summer of 2019 and couldn't wait for the album version.
This is the best version because her vocal is so perfect here.
I revisit often!
Any chance we could get the vocal only from this session? @colors
Yeah, como el vino! 💖💜
@@thesolitaryadventurer Not at all. Lmao
Yassssssssssss
This is why you don't rush artists to make music because when it comes from the heart and soul, it sounds like THIS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
That is true
💕💕💕💕
entirely true, as an amateur artist i feel like i need to do everything now. This is a good reminder that honing your craft pays off :)
Not sure you understand how long it takes to arrange a piece of music like this. Let alone track, record, mix and master.
Period.
"Her voice sounds like a smile after an unexpected compliment."
(This descrption it's not mine... comes from another video of her music, but deserves to be here... )
💣💣💣
Tiny Desk NPR
Perfect discription
haha i remember that compliment from the tiny desk vid :) and its absolutely right!
i can repect that
She started singing and I started crying. She sounds like my mother sounded especially on those belts. I miss my mother's voice😥 This woman just gave me a marvelous gift.
How beautiful to read! I think instrumental people in our lives leave traces of themselves for us to reconnect with, and music might be the strongest mechanism for that.
Mmm....I would have loved to have heard your mother sing. Beautiful tribute and compliment to her to see and think of her here & now ✨
@@mhernandez1986
Yes...! Very much agreed ✨✨❤️
Sending peace and love your way sis.
💜💙💚🤎💛🧡❤
So I must confess, I come to this live version about six times a day. I can't get enough.
Just found her! I’m in love! Can’t get enough ♥️
I prefer this version to the one on the album ❤️
Six? I think I’m on the 2669 today and still can’t get enough. I vibrate with every sound.. perfection 🧡
Me too, shes the reality
@@Katy-sh3ru I find if I listen to live versions first I always appreciate them more than the album, her voice is just amazing
Depression - Gone
Skin - Cleared
Edges - Snatched
Life - Made
Hotel - Trivago
COLORS - LOVE
Damn. You or her?
That "Trivago" laid me to rest
Sylvia Masango totally! Lol
Y’all already startin to copy+paste this into oblivion, huh?
meu deus
If “self love” had an image, it would look like her 🙏🏼
Loved her NPR Tiny Desk concert. If you like COLORS, you should check out the Slug City Picks playlist on Spotify. Fresh playlist of new diverse tunes every two weeks. I never miss it.
This comment is a vibe but also ironic.
I've been only under her tutelage for a short time, and let me sing her praise here.....I know she speaks for so many women for so many reasons..but I have had to learn much from her...or maybe she's reminding me what so many women in my life have already blessed me with...just unbelievably deep
Please someone give this woman her flowers 💐
💐💐💐
@@COLORSxSTUDIOS I respect y'all for this platform.❤️Thank you🙏🏾
When I listen to this I always forget it isn't the studio version. It's so flawless
I think this version is better! Lianne is incredible at live performance ❤️❤️❤️
yup! this version is so much better 😭
@@Katy-sh3ru This is true! I'm kind of bias though because I almost always seem to find the live versions of her songs before I ever hear the studio recordings. I melt in my chair as soon as she starts singing. Her voice puts me into a trance.
Her descending vocal run after that last peak belt is just amazing. Chills every time. It pushes it past the studio recording for sure.
Just saying, if Lianne La Havas and Corinne Bailey Rae made a song together, the sun would shine so bright it'd burn a hole in the thermosphere, the mesophere, the stratosphere and the troposphere
So you called them "global warming"
LEE lee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?! YES!!!!!!
Hmm, gonna write it, BRB.. ✨✍🏾
Lmao. And then we'll all be dead.
@@XxQueenChristinaxX not saying it's a good thing but... It's definitely not a bad thing
Her Tiny Desk performance was outstanding. Lianne is a hell of an artist 👌
I can't count how many times I've watched that one. Sweet and powerful at the same time.
Quentin fr
One of my all time favorites!
Plin Plin Plon
I'm glad I found this comment
Those damn keys cries
lianne la havas goes plin plin plon confirmed
yes! xD
Plin plin plon brought me here
Is it me or is this just an absolute masterpiece of female vocal mastery?! It just doesn't get much more impressive than this in opinion.
Nobody is better than Lianne. She can belt her soul out while playing guitar at the same time let be honest
One of the most underrated singer songwriters end of story. I need more from her after Blood, and Is your love big enough.
Loved her NPR Tiny Desk concert. If you like COLORS, you should check out the Slug City Picks playlist on Spotify. Fresh playlist of new diverse tunes every two weeks. I never miss it.
She is SO UNDERRATED!!!
I don't think she's underrated, she's just quite unknown compared to bigger artists out there. I say not underrated because the people who actually know about her, know how amazing of a musician she is.
But yeah, she doesn't get enough recognition despite being such an amazingly talented woman, especially when you compare her to some bigger stars who don't have even half of her talent
her presence has been missed. she can SING and her music is GORGEOUS
This lady is a throwback. A throwback to when artists could actually sing. This is Soul.
Yes! She sounds like the old divas who got their training in the black church
A lot of them still can lol, you just don't listen to the right ones
Also is Dark Souls (plin plin plon)
Some singers have a voice you instantly fall in love as soon as you hear em
Love how she slowly opens up during the song, she is really feelin' it.
The maturation of her pitch..... What a blessing to witness...
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
On point. It's amazing.
She sounds like she's been training her voice for the past 5 years and it paid off!
Christian Landa
I liked this song 😌
I keep having This Dream of a forever kind of love and I wrote about it in a song called *This Dream* by ninanile. Please check it out on my channel. I’d truly appreciate it if you shared the song and subscribed ✨
Christian Landa Such a blessing to finally witness proper singing..
One of the greatest voices ever!!! Love her!!
She is what the industry is missing ❤
Her voice is as if she’s never heard another singer, as if one day she sang and discovered how good singing felt so spent the next two decades nurturing her voice just to present it to us here today.
Yes, fellow hooman.
Beautiful, thank you for that piece of insight
This comment made me teary eyed 💚
:)
Yes!
THE Lianne La Havas. Her vocals are always on point.
All the time💯
Is she from the US ?
Her voice is like honey and an assault on all my systems at the same time and I’m obsessed. What a freaking talent!!
Standing that far from the mic because her voice is too powerful! Woweeeee
Her lower register and minimal songs are magical but I ADOREEEE when she belts it out like this, my jaw literally dropped, she's like a little firecracker. So so so happy she's back!
✨🔥✨
Missed Her😫
Which one would you recommend?
@@sonyia Songs like Wonderful, Lost & Found or Elusive are just what comes to my mind first. Tokyo has got to me favorite of hers, though! But I'm a full-album kinda gal so I'd recommend listening to it all haha
Yes on all fronts. 🔥🔥
Lianne's "mmmhmm" is sooo iconic. Her voice is so musical in itself. OMG this video will be replayed so many times.
Comparable with Ari Lennox's
Omg it is!
Two female voices almost always bring me to tears. One is Aretha Franklin and this is the other one.
UGH !!!.....her ultra slow vibrato is EVERYTHING! #SUCHaMOOD
Does she have perfect pitch? She’s scary accurate for a live performance
ye she does, go for another her live gigs, ull see
you should check her NPR and la blogotheque performances too, she's unbelievable live.
It's not confirmed, but she could very well have advanced relative pitch which can be developed unlike perfect pitch which fiirst appears at a young age.
I can also confirm she is amazing live! She absolutely blew me away with her voice
I agree with everyone else. She is AMAZING live. I hope she does another US tour.
"New single taken from her forthcoming new album."
Yaaass!!
Finally! Been waiting
I played this song for first time after 3 years, in a different country, on a different continent... i almost burst into tears. Its a masterpiece.
It really is
She sounds better live than most people sound on their albums. Hitting every note effortlessly ❤
THIS IS SANGING!!! Prince knew what he was seeing in this one right here! YOU BETTER SANG YOUR ASS OFF LIANNE LA HAVAS!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭
She is such a master of her own voice- she'll take you all over the emotional roller coaster with her and its a beautiful ride-love her
Anda Szilagyi
Her voice is magical. She paints the best pictures with her voice 💜
She is the true definition of a Power House !!! Look at how far away she is from the mic.. and listen to the delivery.!!!! YAAAASSSSSS
LORD HAVE MERCY WHAT VOICE THE THE LYRICS SO RELATABLE!!
I may have screamed when I got the notification I'm ready for a new project
Lil Intro Vert clutched my pearls 😭😭
Lil Intro Vert
I know right! I clicked the video so fast I think I jammed my finger! 😂🥰
Listening to this in the midst of a Covid pandemic, a race war, a police brutality war...and I’m at peace. Her voice is unreal. Wow.
Amen! I couldn't agree more!
facts
Your words SPEAK OF SO MUCH TRUTH my SISTER!!!
Word.
Amazing comment. Deserves more likes!!
I can't even handle these vocals and this vibe.
and she plays guitar better than anyone i've seen. she is special.
She should definitely be in conversation when we talk about talented vocalists!!!! Because my GOD!!!
Remember when she walked around Paris in heels with her guitar singing No Room For Doubt live? Iconic. Glad she’s back and this song is so smooth!
Loved that so much I have loved Lianne from day dot and that Paris live no room for doubt omgosh favorite song ever
Among my favs too..!
A legendary moment
That’s how we fell in love with her
That video made me crush on her so hard gosh
An F5 belt isn't that easy to sing. I love the quality of it here. From a singer's perspective, Lianne is an example of great technique from registration to pitch to tone. Love it.
You're annoying.
Lasse Nilsson Haha, you're replying to my comment just to tell me this? You _want_ to be annoyed? I've never even talked to you before, man. Ignoring me is a better fix to your problem.
@@XxQueenChristinaxX Both responses - nice.
T Jurcic I mean what did he want me to do? Say I'm sorry for leaving comments on videos I like? Lmao.
@@XxQueenChristinaxX All good Christi XX. Your comments are well respected, keep'em coming... 🙂
That breathy, smokey tone with that vibrato is just 🤌❤
I have ALL of her albums and every ONE you can listen to back to back. She has to be the most talented artist I have in rotation.
Agreed 100%
I miss her. She was hiding a little 🖤
exactly what i was thinking, didn't hear her much since "forget"
@@menelauscaldeaja5554 she released another album after that though...
@@berrypop33 yeah, i know, what i meant was, i used to see "forget" everytime time on TV a while ago but not at all anymore after that, i live in France btw XD
She's been sharing on Instagram and Twitter! And she's performed this song live a few times already. But she has been pretty quiet lol
@@deathrattle3 Good artists usually take a two-three year break to work on their project to make a quality product. Lianne is definitely one of those artists.
can’t wait for her album!
Listening to this made my *HUMANITY RESTORED*
Her voice envelops me every single time.
truth
Lianne is out of the world, really. The music industry doesn't deserve her, but it needs her.
There's a beauty in how she seems to feel, respond to and enjoy the music even as she sings. It's like she's in the audience of her own performance. So good.
I like your brain. 😊
Well said, agreed!
Such a perfect observation
How come she's not on top charts all around the globe? Her voice is wonderful. So glad a friend sent me this video, I'm already a fan of Lianne!
$$, fear of losing $, and politics of the industry drive a lot of bad music to the charts unfortunately.
She's so good. That's why.
She not singing about wap, that's why.
This doesn’t fit into the mainstream, be grateful to see
Best song on UA-cam.
Listening to her makes me feel like sleeping in a fresh made bed
Yessss. With super crisp, cool sheets. Yummy.
Lianne is one of best female vocalists/songwriters. Her live music surpasses her studio recordings. Her songs Elusive and Green & Gold bring me to a different place. Thank you COLORS.
Watching her sing this,
I feel as if she actually SEE Melodies and Notes manifested and dances/greets them - she flowing with the entire song! Look at her hand movements and expressions 😁
Lianne definitely linked the first flame.
Oml her and Solange together would bring me to heaven.
Oh my god, I need this.
I really hope some of those vocal coach reaction channels get on this, she deserves so much more exposure than she's gotten. Even her super old live performances for In the Woods and La Blogothèque
from many years ago were incredible.
Chace Campbell who are you, we are literally thinking such similar thoughts 👀👀 lol. That Blogotheque will go down in history for me ❤️
@@SOI-wl2lo omg I used to be obsessed with all of those live performance channels. If you haven't yet, I *highly* recommend Mahalia's mohogany session for marry me, and both mohogany performances from The Intermission Project (sadly no longer active but by far one of my most cherrished finds).
I've seen this video so many times over the last couple of years and I keep coming back to it. I just love this performance. Probably my most watched video on UA-cam. I would love to see her live one day.
me 222
You will not regret it. Had the privilege of seeing her live some years back. She was fantastic!!
She feels every note
So elegant and emotional
Her moves are delicate and filled with so much feeling
I would love to know how many of the 9 million views on this video come from the same bunch of people. I'm the same 3 years later, I cannot stop thinking about this performance.
I literally can’t stop listening to this... she’s my modern day Sade. Her songs have the same effect on me that Sade’s songs always do!
Interesting comparison!
Do you see the distance between the mic and her
social distancing baby 🧸
I was just thinking the same thing. Shes even better than I thought. A true powerhouse vocalist.
sonic distancing
#1 its a video, but #2 that mic is very live. I have a very similar one and there is no need to be on top of it because of its pattern of picking up sounds
@@ronmiceli what kind of mic do you own?
I knew she was good, but this is legend level
This channel is really for real music lovers! It's amazing how much experience performers can give with this professional microphone without any other accessories, sorroundings.. Specifically, they tell the songs with their mere presence, facial expressions, movements, and bodies.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for these moments!!!!! ❤
This sounded even better than the album version.
I think this might be my favorite outfit on Colors ever. It kinda makes me want to cuddle with a bird
Hahahaha facts
I also loved tierra whack's. Maybe I just like orange 😂
The fact that it seems like she's holding back a smile all the time while singing like this is kinda crazy, so effortless
that is the most beautiful voice i've literally ever heard
She has a marvelous voice.
Couldn’t click on this fast enough. So stroked she’s back.

Lol
Bittersweet has been with me since I first saw Lianne performing it in Greece. Something about it broke me down & healed me at the same time. I cried to this plenty. Just thankful to see Lianne continue making music she loves to make.
I was there too! I feel you
Yes same! I had it on repeat from a UA-cam video after seeing her live. I've been waiting SO long for this track to drop!! 😄
She's just so classic. Will forever adore this one.
She looks like she’s having fun. Must feel incredible to be able to sing like that.
I’ve waited 2 years for this❤️
so many artists aren’t singers anymore. they sing to fit their genre of music. lianne not only does that but dammit, she’s a SINGER
And plays a mean guitar
xebio6 The guitar was what started her and then she started showing off her great vocals. Love her.
She cut my torso nearly in half with that vocal.
Totally worth it.
Wow.
This is LIVE?? …wow! Unreal how silky her voice is 🙏🏾😭👏🏾
Had no idea she was working on new music. Highlight of my week!
Even her singing the word "shit" is lovely.
I was thinking how crazy her cussin seemed so fine in this song and if I should teach my son not to cuss.

my FAVorITe VOICE in the ENTIRE world.
lahavas, lianne. you are. thank you infinitely
She is absolutely captivating omggg
Watched Lianne explain the meaning of this song. It's basically having enough, being tired of a relationship and it's never ending fighting.
It's all about wanting distance but fighting to break free to be reborn. Self love!!
This song is too good but I cannot unhear the “plin plin plon” it gives me fear on fearing just those 3 notes
SOUL MUSIC.
Listening to Lianne makes me feel calm and pumped at the same time
Yes, the time has come
this song have a feeling and power, that you can feel it from the distance
First time hearing this today. This is my new jam. This girl got vocals. She reminds me of some of the 80's singers.
SOUL music is ALIVE.
It always has been.
she said PROJECTION
Dude 🥺✨
lol
Big facts
Her technique is great.
lady havas’ vibrato always broke me & made me feel whole, all at the same time. what a celestial beauty. thank you, colors; once again, you’re acing it. ✨
Oh my - string brings me tears of joy and sadness and joy all in a Havas roll
I found out a dear friend of mine passed away from cancer while I was listening to this. He would have loved this song. Always coming back to it.
Sending love to you and him 💜💜💜
I'm sorry about your loss.
So sorry for your loss🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
i think the best word to describe her would be enchanting, probably?
she's such an inspiration aaaaa
Hands down my favorite Colors performance 🤎🙌🏽
hell yeah
