This song means so much to me, makes me think of my beautiful sister who battled kidney failure for 14 years, she was so powerful, no matter what she faced she fought, she kept going. Some will say she lost her battle 2015 aged 35 but I think she won, we sang together on her last day on this earth. I want her here but I'm happy she's free. #AmmaRose
God bless you and your sister, I can tell what a blessing you were to her and her to you...You are not alone...she is free..even though I don't know you my heart and soul reach to you
The first time I heard it, I thumbed it up, but wasn't sure if I really liked it. It takes a time or two to listen and for sure know sometimes... our ears and moods change
This song resonates to individual listeners. and for me it touches such a deep chord. To me it represents the perseverance of character and hope through the obstacles of life. Personally struggling with addition, "taking 10 steps back but 1 step forward", but still, recovering, very hard..i don't stop, i keep on progressing until I beat this addiction, I Don't Stop. 8 years later update: In a much better place, completely transformed and addiction free! As this song says - don't stop - keep hoping, keep believing, keep praying, keep laughing. I thank the Lord☺
I pray you are free in Yahushua Messiahs name. He truly loves you. I had struggles and battles that if it wasn't for him I would of died years ago. I also struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts for many years. God brought a friend in my path that made me remember Yahushua died for me so I can be free. He loves us so much and truly wants all of us set free from our struggles. Never stop trusting in him, no matter what battles you face in earth. This is our shortest life. We won't be here forever. One day Yahushua will take away all our pain, bad memories, struggles, battles, illness, etc. Don't ever think you have to fight alone. This is why God send his son on earth to help us. I don't know you but truly care about you. I will pray for you.
I just heard this song and felt completely overwhelmed and cried,my housemates are still wondering what happened. If it happened to you too, hold strong do not stop.
"She" She walked to watch you with the head down low She wondered if there's a way out of the blue. Who's gonna take her home this time? She knew that this time wouldn't be the last time. There she waits looking for a savior, Someone to save her from her dying self. Always taking ten steps back and one step forward, She's tired, but she don't stop. She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop. She don't stop, she don't stop, she don't stop. Every day she stood, hoping for a new light She closed her eyes and she had a smile voice say You don't stop, no, you belong to me She cried, maybe it's too late. Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, don't stop? She walked to watch you with the head down low She wondered if there's a way out of the blue. Who's gonna take her home this time? She knew that this time wouldn't be the last time
Beatiful name and the same name as my sister so want to forget your name And I won't give in to life. like most days I feel like doing but, I won't give in to the existence of carrying on living ( of to do some motivation painting thanks again Laura )
This lady is just magic for me. There are so many reasons why I love this song: her vocals (I've just discovered her and I haven't stopped listening to her - she's something special for me). The choir sound that wraps itself around this song (gooseflesh kind of stuff). The visual - South Africa is a really beautiful country and it just takes a drive off the beaten path (I'm thinking the Northern Cape and the inland bits of the Western Cape) to see what I mean. The little girl represents home and growing up in this country. The emotions it invokes (sadness, gratitude and love all wrapped in one). The powerful song writing (such a powerful lyric). Watching it on UA-cam is a joy - often videos are dripping with cynical and negative comments but this one is different. And it's touching to see how others experience this song - for me, the narrative is one about prostitution but for others it's a completely different experience (an example being the first comment that you see posted by Halyeigh-joy Rose about her sister)... Instant Laura Mvula fan x
When you were a small child and something broke your soul (at least with the estimation you had at the time,) there was that first airless wail before you took that wrenching second breath and really let the cathartic tears and emotion pour out is just the emotion Laura Mvula seems to capture with this song. If you were lucky there was someone there to hold you. Imagine if there wasn't.
This song is so deep, uSisi ukufutshane kwizinyanya (she's got a direct connection to the ancestors ) her music if purely soulful, makes me wanna cry...."who cutting the onion!?"
Real music, real song, great performance, great recording!! This woman is amazing! Perfect mixture between African and European understanding of music! Keep it this way!!
This sang gave me shivers and then brought me to tears, it seems something differently each person individually. Really touched some feelings. Thank you Miss Mvula
Arthur Garwood Delahooke yeh me too.. all week. She amazing, beautiful, talented and more. I needed her in my life right now.. I'm not obsessed honest! X
She's the first artist to evoke Joni Mitchell in all her range I've ever heard - not some cheesy coffee-shop karaoke version, but the inner confessional jazz of Mitchell. And then you throw in a little Lauren Hill, Ricky Lee Jones, and, shit, even some Laurie Anderson, all textured by South African music. Amazing.
Beautiful, beautiful song. Words can hardly describe. My Heart. Also, I think the little schoolgirl forgot her bag at the 1:44 location coz at 3:16 she looks like she just realized she forgot something. Lol, so cute. Now I miss South Africa.

We’ve all done things we weren’t proud of. I understand that. I know nobody’s perfect, but how do you live with it? How do you get up every morning knowing you could have done better, that you should have done better? Is being sorry enough? Can an apology actually heal our wounds? Ease our pain? Can it undo the hurt that we’ve caused?
laureatuima You keep going because you know you are better and so much more than the worst things you've ever done. You don't stop until you've shown just that to the world and yourself. This is why you are here so you can do it. Don't stop.
Forgive yourself of all things old and new. Realize that every day you wake up is a blessing and a chance to do things differently. Put one foot in front of the other and live your best life
laureatuima - you got wonderful replies to your comment! miu enyo, "don´t stop" HITS the nail! i´m 60 now, and i´ve been through so many heights and depths, i often was confused and depressed, but i somehow managed to keep moving, and i don´t regret it at all - now i have a daughter (15) and she is my everyday sunshine, i wouldn´t want to miss one single second with her... match my slay, to forgive oneself is one of the really difficult tasks in our live, and it can be fairly painful - i think it feels like when your hands get frozen in winter and then slowly warm up again, when you´re safe home again - yes, the pain of a thawing heart is not easy to bear - but it´s one thing worhtwhile on earth... this music is pure goosebumps for me, incredible........ :-) love and greetings to you all from germany
@@friesiamans1966 I understand just what you mean. I am still learning how to forgive myself . It is a process but we can do It. We deserve to be free. It is becoming a little easier with everyday.
+ match my slay - ha! you make my day my friend! i so seldom get response, although i write fairly much on youtube... yes, you are absolutely right: it´s a never ending process, and it makes us stronger with every step we manage to do... my daughter is very much into young german hiphop and so i´m also listening to some of it - i must say, there are a lot of talented, skilled and ambitioned young musicians underway in germany - well, yesterday i got a recommendation to a young hiphopper and i listened to him - the music was well made, he was skilled and had quite witty lyrics, still i kept wondering, why i didn´t really like it.... growing thrill - - - haha - - - sorry i´m off now for dinner, my woman calls me - i´ll be back................ :-O
not only is her voice and sound beautiful, but she IS beautiful. Her eyes, her skin, her buzzed head... she's a very gorgeous lady. I hope everybody gets her cause she's brilliant.
This piece of art is wonderful, enkosi kakhulu Sisi and to your amazing team. Healing music is what people really need and I mostly speaking for my self. Stay blessed M'Africa.
Yup! Nailed it. + eyes closed, serious relationship or money issues and then this song comes on and you realise that life is truly beautiful and we should be grateful for each day.
Yes- your young girl's journey and struggle to be- come who she's meant to be- she don't stop, until she gets there- you've reached it- your new life. bravo.

+Hayleigh-joy Rose Beautiful! Your sister dances in your words. What lovely siblings!
Your sister is watching down at you. Stay beautiful baby girl..
I'm sure your sister would be holding your hand as you spoke those words and smiling
A beautiful tribute to your sister. May her spirit and her memory keep you going when times get tough. Blessings to you.
God bless you and your sister, I can tell what a blessing you were to her and her to you...You are not alone...she is free..even though I don't know you my heart and soul reach to you
positive song about 'blackness' 'poverty' 'adversity' she needs more global recognition...she's amazing xxx
This song stops me in my tracks every time. And when the spell is over I find that my eyes are moist with tears.
Exactly my experience. Thank you Laura Mvula.
Same
Same bro
Same, it's beautiful.
Who on God's green earth thumbs this down?
Someone who identified too deeply with it.
😂 Haters exist. We must remember this.
The first time I heard it, I thumbed it up, but wasn't sure if I really liked it. It takes a time or two to listen and for sure know sometimes... our ears and moods change
This song is defined by each listener... it mean so much. As each woman listen SHE will resonate accordingly. love.

I hope you're still recovering or have recovered. Keep fighting.

And I won't give in to life. like most days I feel like doing but, I won't give in to the existence of carrying on living

This moving song really expresses black female suffering in this world. Well done, Laura!
makes me cry every time

This made me cry, the message is there
When you were a small child and something broke your soul (at least with the estimation you had at the time,) there was that first airless wail before you took that wrenching second breath and really let the cathartic tears and emotion pour out is just the emotion Laura Mvula seems to capture with this song. If you were lucky there was someone there to hold you. Imagine if there wasn't.
Most of the time there wasn't someone to even talk to, let alone hold you.

OMG LAURA IS THE BEST SINGER! :3

This song is Haunting and resolutely beautiful! Laura's voice sings to a primal place within my soul. It takes me back to my purest self.
This song saved my life ❤️ ;

I wrote this 2 years ago and now I see why my soul reviled this to me
Almost there 💕
Goosebumps....
The official version she did of this song with that orchestra is mind blowing, but so is this. Just an incredible tune.
so loving this woman. sometimes, i can hear a touch of nina simone in her voice. especially in green garden.
Years later, this is still one of my favorite songs. ❤❤
this song is amazing really...
We’ve all done things we weren’t proud of. I understand that. I know nobody’s perfect, but how do you live with it? How do you get up every morning knowing you could have done better, that you should have done better? Is being sorry enough? Can an apology actually heal our wounds? Ease our pain? Can it undo the hurt that we’ve caused?

I hope every time I replay it it adds to the view count. I've listened to this song 5 times back to back
This song should be dedicated to any woman on the verge of giving up.

As a musician myself it's reassuring to know that there's still some good music out there. What's better is she's British
Yup! Nailed it. + eyes closed, serious relationship or money issues and then this song comes on and you realise that life is truly beautiful and we should be grateful for each day.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM. THIS MUSIC TAKES ME BACK TO LIVING IN SOUTH AFRICA AND IT'S WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND LANDSCAPE.
The most beautiful song i heard in 2017. It's so inspiring
Please come to brazil
stunning
Far too good for the charts
This song is wonderful. It's like an anthem for all the girls and women of the world.
The WORLD needs to blast Laura on all its speakers....
SHE REALLY BLEW ME AWAY
"She", I'm over the moon she got inspiration for the video from my home country SA. ❤️. What a beautiful song, though.... Wow!
This songs says everything...without saying a thing ~ SHE DON'T STOP!!!
This song makes me cry so much. I have been battling depression and i always come back for fuel
This is such a beautiful song. I love her voice.
Laura Mvula is flat out the most amazing female vocalist I've heard in over a DECADE!!!!
She IS that incredibly special . . .
SHE DON'T STOP! Power at it's CORE. BRAVO!
I love me some Laura Mvula for sure, for sure. I'm bout to go to Itunes and buy all her songs. I hope they're there.
In my opinion, Laura is a pleasant surprise in the music scene.
It's been a while since music has given me goosebumps. This is amazing!
one more thing to be grateful to Jamie Cullum for: helping me to discover such a wonderful artist like Laura. Amazing!
One......word.....Amazing!!
Thank you for this song, beautiful, beautiful, thank you Laura ☮🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿🙏🏼
Yes- your young girl's journey and struggle to be- come who she's meant to be- she don't stop, until she gets there- you've reached it- your new life. bravo.
Whoever disliked this doesn't know what good music sounds like! She's just so incredible, so honoured to have known her before she was famous
