Imagine this, you had an accident, when you're riding your bicycle. In the accident you suffered serious head and spinal injuries. Then an attending physician who believed music would help your brain injury drastically improve, you began writing music after your accident... And then give this gift for the world, a perfect song like this... This is who Melody Gardot is... I can't be sure what the feel about this, really. If I have to be mad to the driver of the SUV who caused your accident or be greatful to him to give you as a gift, like your songs to the whole world... Thank you Melody, for perfection... Keep on! 'Cause I believe in a world, where we all belong... Love from Turkey!
Ali Gökhan Dilek wow. That’s powerful. It’s a tragedy with a silver lining as you didn’t let it beat you or define you. So inspiring. One of my fave novels is ‘The Diving Bell and the Butterfly’ by Jean Dominique Bauby. about suffering then courage and triumph. You should write your story...take care and stay positive. ❤️ yes music heals the mind body and soul. 💪
Just push the pause button enywhere in the video. You will see a masterpiece photography. And every case the pictures will show an another very strong emotion. Pride, hate, pity, sorry, contempt, symphaty..... etc. Magnificent.
Even the poor old pittie in its cage, trained all his life to be aggressive towards everything... Startled like a curious, happy puppy by the first droplets of rain, but too tired and too beaten to feel much joy. Such strong symbolism captured in a couple of seconds. This is art, from the beginning to the end. The song has been one of my favorites for a long time but somehow didn't check the video until now. Luckily I did.
Lest we forget and err in our ways and let evil cloud or judgement and prejudice poison our hearts; God has given us Artists/sages of our times to keep us on the straight and narrow ...All I could do was weep.Truth is powerful in itself.Thank God for Melody Gardot and the pure hearted preacher-men left in this world.
There shouldn’t be any doubt about that Melody Gardot is one of the best artist (musician) of the last decade. And this song and video is one of the most Impressive and strongest since many years and still will remain it for a long long time. No words can describe it.
I'm in literal tears watching this. Considering what happened in my country with the mosque shootings, this has struck me anew... The video and singer should have been given all the awards.
Draga osoba Melody, uvod, sve mi je jasno pročitavši ono ludilo, vožnja biciklom i post festum, ta činjenica daje sve moguće Epitete osoba nad čovjek, i gitara na oporavku, jednostavno sto puta napisah kao da ste moja kći, a moja kći je Vaše godište tu smo svijet prostor i sve
I was so captivated, immersed into this chronicle of a story that has been much too real, that I didn't hear the song! No words needed to capture the anguish, the torment, the hate. Filming in black and white was spot on for therein lies the gray matter. Had the mother passed her child's killer in the darkest faces in the field or was it those seemingly transparent smirks? Intended or not, the irony was not lost that the mother was of both races, facing prejudices on both sides. Not ONE person came to her aid in such a tragedy, carrying the unimaginable burden of finding her son in such a manner, mentally and emotionally and to also bear the physical pain carrying her child's lifeless body all that way. The caged dog seemed to show more empathy than any other being other than the Preacherman.
Wow, so moving and thought provoking. I love the vocals, almost haunting. The main actors are my cousins & 'grandma' (my 1st cousin) truly told the story with her expressions.
Yes! The through, the sorry and pain come trough this absolutely great song ❤ Strong, and thanks for showing a unbelively peace of art at the same time.🙏
Amazing video, song, voice and message. The description is well stated, and thought out. Commuovere. But reading some of the comments was disturbing. It is clear no matter what, some people never learn. They say one thing, yet behave just the opposite; emulating the very behavior they criticize. Reading through those hateful words, I kept hearing Melody's quote..."Race and racism do not go hand in hand. We are only one race: human." Melody Gardot Keep hope alive.
It's all too relevant today. Emmett Till was accused of grabbing and physically threatening Carolyn Donham, who recently admitted that she lied in her testimony. Now, Betsy DeVos is lying to us about a massacre committed by Muslims at Bowling Green to frighten white people into acting against non-whites. Have we really learned nothing?
It’s got everything! It’s ART. Whole experience. You feel her pain. This world has real evil in it. She’s got such strength and dignity! It’s so hard to watch.
Именно такой должна быть музыка и вокал, чтобы вызывала чувства. Ну а видео выше всех похвал, режиссёр актёры, несколько раз пересматриваю ком у горла и слёзы наворачиваются и это тот случаи, когда всё понятно без знания языка, Melody Gardot однозначно мой фаворит в вокале!!! Ещё раз спасибо всем за данный шедевр. Отдельный маленький фильм, точнее кусок из жизни.
If I live to the age of 150 I will never see a video better than this. It’s not a video, it’s a movie and tells a story. Major kudos all round - astounding
Melody by name melody by nature Beautiful notes of music. Creating mood and emotion and a tune so catching and lyrics so meaningful and powerful. Preacherman. Could have been a female murderer?? It's a theory. Or another kid??
Melody Gardot, music to my ears. This song and video are haunting in the truth that was and still is. Why can't we fix us all? Question i don't expect an answer to.
skladba nadherna,,a jej hlas ku tomu extaza!!! milujem ju roky!!!pri kazdej jednej skladbe mam neskutocne zimomriavky.Melody si nekonecns pre mna,,,🎉🎈🎆🎄🌪🌧🌞☕🍸umieram!!!💞
Melody Gardot really reminds me of Morgan, from The Voice. That Deep South sound. Felt like Morgan connected the most through her singing, out of any of the remaining four. Anyway, this song is so incredible! Gardot is a legend beyond her years--Wow!! Would be incredible to see both on a song together. Even more incredible if someone with this style would have won The Voice, instead of the same 'ol.
I think she's more than a talented artist and musician. I think she's an Angel (many centuries over again) that landed here for those of us that need her. When I have a crappy day, I turn her on and she always puts me back in my place where I am meant to be. She's a reckoning to be dealt with, that's for sure. There's nothing like her, I'm so fortunate to have run across her music.
I really don't know what to say. There's fantastic & then there's this - there are no words to describe just how good this is & I've been a bass player all my life.
Chciałabym ściągnąć sobie tą piosenkę na telefon, ale nie potrafię wyobrazić sobie, że mogłabym słuchać jej bez teledysku. Niesamowity. Tak samo jak i piosenka.
Enrique tebar carretero De acaurdo. He sido fan de Melody desde "Worrysome Heart" y su musica a tomado difrentes direcciones en cada album. Siempre con un poco de miedo de mi parte que no me va a gustar y simpre quedo convencido que fue una gran decision!
Melody Gardot - Preacherman lyrics: Ooh Ooh Preacher man, go tell me Where his body lies Sitting down by the river, now, child Left him there to die One by one we tumble One by one we fall If I had a solution, now, honey I would fix us all 'Cause I believe in a world Where we all belong And I'm so tired of seein' Every good man gone Take me to that river Lay me by his side Let the water wash me clean, now, honey Man, don't stole my pride I have seen the darkness Lord knows… Light & Love...
A beautiful song, a sad story ... a man who believes in a good and almighty god, watch this clip and listen to the words ... and then tell me that there is someone like a good and almighty god ...
Preacher man, go tell me Where his body lies Sitting down by the river, now, child Left him there to die One by one we tumble One by one we fall If I had a solution, now, honey I would fix us all 'Cause I believe in a world Where we all belong And I'm so tired of seein' Every good man gone Take me to that river Lay me by his side Let the water wash me clean, now, honey Man, don't stole my pride I have seen the darkness Lord knows I've seen the light Don't recall the Lord Sayin' there's a difference If you're black or white 'Cause I believe in a world Where we all belong And I'm so tired of seein' Every good man gone

I am from Russia and listen to Melody Gardot for 8 years. She is an amazing singer, I can not live without her music in some periods of my life!
Она потрясающая.. Но эта песня и клип просто за горло схватили.. ( Как здорово, что есть такие глубокие песни.
The woman in this video needs an award of some kind. Such as simple, underrated and yet powerful performance.
god gave him some talent but forgot to give humility
j. hegarty, I totally agree with you.
Yes sir
Agree with you ....
She wouldn't give a fuck about phony awards . Give her money to cloth and bread on the table ...
Everything is good. The music, the singer, the lyrics, the acting, the photography. This is Art!!!

This song is a class of it's own.....nothing else can reach it, no matter how hard they all try.....
How did this NOT get any Grammy nominations????
HOW????
Check out a lady named Rachel Price, Lake Street Dive. You'll ask yourself the same question.
I gave up on the Grammies a long time ago.
I’m the one who did it
Because the Grammys are shit.
I guess, because it is NOT shitty.
Hats off to ALL involved in this hauntingly gorgeous video

Fuck damn! That acting deserves an Academy Award. Melody is a goddess!
Wow what a haunting melody and video. This had me in tears, such a powerful song and message. Melody Gardot is a true artist.

God that sax solo at 5:50. It all fits so well. Great clip, great performance and above all, the moral of the story.
I agree :)

There's not too many songs has perfection like this one.
I swear I've been searching for this song for at least 3-4 years. This is as good as I remembered!
Bir türk daha. Hehehe :D
The most perfect of the masterpieces! the whole world needs to listen/watch this!
Chills all over my body. Just wow.
It's just amazing to find a song like this that resonates down to the deepest layers of your heart
Her masterpiece...
If you get a chance....must see her in concert! Breathtaking....raised the hairs on every part of my body!
If I live to the age of 150 I will never see a video better than this. It’s not a video, it’s a movie and tells a story. Major kudos all round - astounding
Incredibly powerful, music, voice, lyrics, video. THANKS
Unbelievable. How much talent and beauty can there be in one woman? Melody blows my mind every single time.
Never seen a music video so influential.........salute to the lyrics written.
Melody Gardot is my all time favourite musician.
Sometimes you come across a song by chance...and you realize you were meant to hear it.
Eso me pasó a mi la escuche en una pelicula
Yep, and I’m fortunate enough to have found this singer/song/video.
Melody by name melody by nature
Beautiful notes of music. Creating mood and emotion and a tune so catching and lyrics so meaningful and powerful. Preacherman. Could have been a female murderer?? It's a theory. Or another kid??
So true
Incredible... Incredible...
Just Wow! In a class of its own. So deeply moving.
Melody Gardot, music to my ears. This song and video are haunting in the truth that was and still is.
Why can't we fix us all? Question i don't expect an answer to.

Absolutely love the guitar!
Perfect. Everything about this is perfect.

I really don't know what to say. There's fantastic & then there's this - there are no words to describe just how good this is & I've been a bass player all my life.
One of the most amazing video/ song combinations ever. Gives me chills every time, just love her.
Love how in every album she does the style changes! LOVE!!!
Melody you are definitely my best female singer in the world.
I hope to meet you at your next concert in Vienne (France)

Une voix incroyable. Une femme magnifique. Une soul comme elles se font rares... C'est magique.
Tout à fait d'accord👌🏻
I am hating myself for not being able to see her in Oakland 9/18-19. One of the most amazing voices I've heard singing. And what a great video !!
'Cause I believe in a world where we all belong... thank you Melody for thinking like so many of us. ;)
love this song! Love Melody Gardot. She is truly amazing and inspirational.
Amazing woman! Amazing artist! Amazing voice!
Incredibly powerful...
Super tema
Another fantastic song from Melody Gardot. I enjoyed this one immensely. Video started off kind of slow for me but it picked up for sure.
Awesome ! Her voice is just ... I can't wait anymore to listen at the rest of her album
Magnifica cancion, Magnifico video
MAGNIFICA MELODY
Enrique tebar carretero De acaurdo. He sido fan de Melody desde "Worrysome Heart" y su musica a tomado difrentes direcciones en cada album. Siempre con un poco de miedo de mi parte que no me va a gustar y simpre quedo convencido que fue una gran decision!

Been listening to this song about a year.Real masterpiece.
So glad she's back with this wonderful song. A meaningful one, at that
Such a powerful powerful message. Beautiful video
That saxophone at 5:50... love it
Ipak zarobljeni idealima ogrnuti dobrotom nemamo strah, pjesme su famozne... ❤
Melody Margot is a legend and only 37, this video is a masterpiece too
Melody Gardot - Preacherman lyrics:
Ooh
Ooh
Preacher man, go tell me
Where his body lies
Sitting down by the river, now, child
Left him there to die
One by one we tumble
One by one we fall
If I had a solution, now, honey
I would fix us all
'Cause I believe in a world
Where we all belong
And I'm so tired of seein'
Every good man gone
Take me to that river
Lay me by his side
Let the water wash me clean, now, honey
Man, don't stole my pride
I have seen the darkness
Lord knows… Light & Love...
Stunning, great video, the beats are awesome, voice is timeless, love ....love❤️😍😘
Melody is the Style! Great singer and composer !
I really wish the album track had this intro with the vocals and the guitar. it makes it soooooo much better.
I love it. Great voice, great video, great history.
шикарный клип, шикарное исполнение
I love my polish teacher for showing this on lesson.. Amazing.
A beautiful song, a sad story ... a man who believes in a good and almighty god, watch this clip and listen to the words ... and then tell me that there is someone like a good and almighty god ...
So very intense and moving...
This is a MASTERPIECE!
Jumped in the car at the right time to hear this amazing artist and song. Wow! Why isn't her name out there more? Amazing vocals!!
Thank you so much for your music and for the video! So much!
So beatifull music .... its wondefull 🖤
Preacher man, go tell me
Where his body lies
Sitting down by the river, now, child
Left him there to die
One by one we tumble
One by one we fall
If I had a solution, now, honey
I would fix us all
'Cause I believe in a world
Where we all belong
And I'm so tired of seein'
Every good man gone
Take me to that river
Lay me by his side
Let the water wash me clean, now, honey
Man, don't stole my pride
I have seen the darkness
Lord knows I've seen the light
Don't recall the Lord
Sayin' there's a difference
If you're black or white
'Cause I believe in a world
Where we all belong
And I'm so tired of seein'
Every good man gone
Incredible voice & talent! From france
Great tribute to Emmett Till
