I was that girl, from the lower 9th ward, who had big dreams, but couldn't see the forest for the trees. One day I stopped making excuses, I believed in myself, and moved forward. Music, as yours, are a constant reminder that I am the only one who stands in the way. I even humm those words to myself, when I feel self-doubt rising, "Jamie, stop making mouuuuntains out of mooooole hiiiiiillllllssss, when they're not eeeeeven real." haha! Weird, but it works for me! =) Thank you brother, for real music, that speaks to the soul. =)
I'm from Hartsville South Carolina, this song really ministered to me!!! I joined the United States Navy and I serve God and Country!!!! I was afraid but I tried!!! I cried so hard when I heard this song!!!!! thank you God for PJ!!!!!!!!!
This is me! Wow. I am silently but definitely inspired and motivated. I AM MY OWN WORST ENEMY! No more. Gina..stop making mountains out of molehills...Sheesh. Thank you PJ Morton. Thank you!
PJ!!! The best kept secret in music today. I told him at one of his concerts here in Memphis that he is what the music industry needs. He is a breath of fresh air. He is a true and pure musical genius!
I have only played this song about 50 times today, this song...story of my life, no lie!!! i will listen 2 this every morning n b4 i know it i will quit denying my passion in life! this song could not have had better timing! dont know much about this guys gospel history, his dad comes to my church mt.zion every year, and i had no clue that there was more talent, thank u pj 4 staying true to ur heart, about a yr ago i would've said ur straddling the fence, but now i totally get it!!!!!
u took us back to the 60`s ..im begging you to stay with that style ur so original,its hard to find pure music now a days,music that makes you look back over ur life.ur sng reminds me of movies like five heartbeats ,even smokie robinson,cadilac records,ray charles things like that ;)
Can't wait to order the album. An old friend turned me onto your music a few years ago, and I have been hooked ever since. Had no idea who you were at the time, but you have a great gift. I am glad that you are getting achance to share it with the world, and hoefully one day in Philly too. (smile)
the new Stevie wonder I know you have heard the compression you are awesome not taking anything away because you sound like him , . I could listen to you allday .
PJ Morton is like the Smokie Robinson or Stevie Wonder of our time in the sense that he is a genius but under appreciated and it may take a couple albums for some to recognize his genius and develop an appreciate the emotion and power behind his music
By the second verse, I am sad that the song is almost over...brilliant execution a storytelling through song...PJ Morton has been anointed for a mighty work...Stevie Wonder, you now have permission to pass the torch!
Thanks for tweeting this PJ. Simply awesommme! I watched it a million times today. Of course your daddy can sang...how could you forget? Saw him on TBN this evening from last night's show.
This is what artistry is missing. The passion and the initiative... I 'm speechless because the fact that you took the time from your craft and did this project! AWESOME ... Plus I love the song:D
❤️❤️❤️💚❤️❤️❤️💚❤️❤️❤️ why is PJ so underrated???..this song speaks volumes!!!..gives me that "a change is gonna come" Sam Cooke vibe.. I listen to this song when I feel overwhelmed and weary, encourages me to keep trying and persevering, thanks PJ
Giiiirrrlll, he is not really underated. I used to think that. His audience is special, set apart. We thrive from real music, relatable, beautiful harmonies, therapeutic, soul stirring and motivating. We are listening. It may take the world a minute, they are hypnotized by this other madness. Once life begins to get real...lol..they will somehow find their way here..as I did.. And its been life changing. Such a blessing!
Songbird Allen That’s it! The people who need his ministry are here listening and know that he is not underrated. I feel sorry for anyone who is not listening.
I am all 4 trying. Giving up iznt within she. Doubt self. It doesn't no longer exist. She knows god gave her something special. 2 b chosen n many diffrent wayz. 2 b tested n tried. On god shes doing her best. The gift of sound of song its within n she lets it out with power n love nevertheless feeling n competition but knowing shes a definite threat. Not boast. But humble n grateful juzt 4 what god has instore 4 her. Undefeated souls. Hold power of knowing n praying thru lifes ups n downs. Love iz spread thru the gift of giving even when she never recieved. She continues 2 strive gracefully.
You can do it! We believe in you, go get'em. Help is always lurking in every corner. God speed. and Congratulations! You'll need the congrats. M sure you'll see why soon. Peace
i rarely comment on youtube videos...and i don't buy a lot of cd's, actually kirk franklin is about the only i'll buy, love him til i die! but PJ Morton (never heard of him until watching cables "Music Choice" the other day) and i'm like oh, who's the johnta austin look-alike (yes please forgive me b/c pj is far more talented) but it was a song called "the one" i think, and i started grooving instantaneously. i will buy this guys cd, and he has gained a fan for life, i NEED this music!!!
Man I heard ur new album this weekend. We listened to the whole album all the way thru (I had to repeat #7 though). I'm a fan most definitely! Love the music!

@@ginadeniseallen2919 AMEN!! ❤️
That’s common in life. People tend to overlook that which is real. But as long as you recognize it, when you see it is all that matters.

This is a dope song, I love the message and old school feel
