The best songwriter and performer in years or decades. If La Havas is the future of popular music, we are doing fine. Halfway through my life and I finally find the golden ticket.
Did the world get a little bit colder Not wiser just a little bit older So slow that we're bound to fall over, oh Did the heart grow a little bit harder Too much, too late, too far, too gone But wasn't it kind of wonderful Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby Wasn't it kind of wonderful, wonderful You can trip, flick a switch negative Break the circuit between us But electricity lingers In our fingers Oh you can burn every fuse and refuse Turn your positive minus Electricity lingers In our fingers From here there's nothing but horizon Near dawn, I'm searching for the sunrise Remember when you put the stars into my eyes, oh Wasn't it kind of wonderful Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby Wasn't it kind of wonderful, wonderful You can trip, flick a switch negative Break the circuit between us But electricity lingers In our fingers Oh you can burn every fuse and refuse Turn your positive minus Electricity lingers In our fingers Wasn't it kind of wonderful Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby Wasn't it kind of wonderful, wonderful Wasn't it kind of wonderful Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby Wasn't it kind of wonderful, wonderf
i've got a slightly different point of view, although i don't think it contradicts what you're so honestly saying. i think none of them treated each other very well, and that it became too late to keep trying. he is leaving her, thinking that it is "wise" to do it ("i've got to get on with my life, baby", etc.), and i think that, in some sense, she is ok with. however, she doesn't think it is matter of wisdom but of coldness, not a matter of being growing up but of getting older and colder. she can't help it though, and she understands. and now she's just reminding him that is was, some times, maybe not always, but eternally, wonderful. i think they are both right.
Damn! The beauty of this song is so raw that it breaks my heart. It's PAINFUL. I can't handle it. Yet, somehow, the only thing that can comfort me and ease my pain - is listening to it again. And again. And again.
How dare she make an already perfect song even more perfect??? There is no way anybody can sound purer or more honest/exposed or even more vulnerable. Im in love.
She makes everyone feel so lucky to have found her music, that’s so lovely but it makes me ache at the same time that I didn’t find her sooner so I could’ve leaned on this song during a hard time
One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. OMG.

this performance made me cry so hard. the song has been the soundtrack of my life these last three months, everywhere i go in my headphones. now i'm in bed with a fever, this was just too much to handle right now. so. exquisitely. well. done.
Put some Lianne La Havas music to make work easier, but it turned out that I can't focus on working because I cant stop looking at her performing. ... She's just amazing. Same in every video...
in the cold night, after a long day of work, i play this song in my car as the heat caresses my face, like the hands of lovers gone yet somehow present. lianne & frida's voice with james on keys cradle me into a peaceful longing.
4 full minutes of pure magic. It's really hard to find such a perfect live piece, where everything is in its place, where everything is simple yet wonderful. Lianne interprets this piece with a great pain in her soul: the pain of an ecstasy (perhaps) lost, and of which (perhaps) it was not realized, while it was lived. Something that we have tried in many, and that affects our hearts. Sublime. (but only for chosen souls).
In this beautiful and rounded world, where sad stories are repeated, where the museums of memory are filled with dust, where we shout loudly when they trample our rights, but we stand proud to point the other with our prejudices. A wonderful world...
I am in love... with this magical song and with Lianne for creating something so angelic. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. My four year old girl is getting a bit fed up of hearing this now. But too bad... cause Mamma is in love and made happy by... Wonderful
Yesterday in Rainy Lille (N. France), at the Aéronef concert hall, 400 incredibly lucky people including me watched Lianne play her entire set live and it was simply WONDERFUL. Her voice in real life is clear and extremely powerful, but never overpowering. Some new innovations in the Green & Gold with micro pauses to funk it all up. BTW I bought the album of Roseau the opening act. Another "talent" that Lianne has to warm the stage. If Lianne played 10 x in town (Paris) I would show up to all 10 ! Yes, I'm hooked on her music, her quality rhythms and lyrics. Bossa nova, soul, funk, Jamaican, a bag full of goodness. Thank you for giving it 100%, it was worth the trip Paris-Lille-Paris, the hotel, the rain & wind up those metal stairs (if you went you would understand). Merci
The Turner Classic Movie Channel.....brought me here.....Such a Hauntingly Beautiful Song....Lovely,Raspy...Vocals💫💫 The Lyrics....So heartfelt 💔 My ears have been/ are truly grateful and ....Blessed Thank you 😔🍃 9/ 19/2020
Lianne ... you’re a precious, precious soul. 🧡 If the angels sound like you, I’m making sure I get to Heaven! You’re an Earth Angel! I’m thankful for your parents creating you❣️
I don't usually comment on youtube videos but,,words fail to describe this song, from the chord progression to her tonality and lyrics, this song takes you to a place where True Love truly exists
Guys!! this is the kind of things that doesn't have words to explain How WONDERFUL is life when we have people so gifted of Pure talent like her...She just make me put all my worries, sorrows, pains, madness so away from me...this song takes me so Far away from here...I just wanna say THANKS SO MUCH Lianne La Havas for your music...And i Hope one day I can have the pleasure to meet you in person...I am your fan #1 you are amazing!!
I can't.. I just don't have the words.. the talent that exudes this young lady... 😭😭💪💪💪👌I love your vocal style "no wiser just a little bit older.".. it was wonderful.. A beautiful song.. love it!!😘💪💪👏👏👏👏👍👍
It's insane how beautiful this song, and especially this version of this song is. (and her music in general!! :) I downloaded this and put it on as the alarm-clock-song on my cellphone. It's just perfect, no other words needed. Try it now, thank me later! Lianne has done the impossible and created a song that will let you wake up with joy
This song is about God and our soul being incarnated into this human body and how we forget the divine spirit in all of us because of this messed up world. But when you leave this earth and realize life is kinda wonderful. And the electricity that lingers is knowing deep down inside you still have that God part in you but the connection from before is cut off. I love her so much
Ah, this song is so ethereal on so many levels I cannot even describe! I had the opportunity to see her live and she sounds way better in person. Her album music are already great but to hear her live....it's breathtaking & stunning. Go see her live if you get the chance!
I can't find words to express what this song makes me feel.
+Neo Music Wonderful? lol
+Icarus 😂😂😂😂😂
+Neo Music That's what music's for.
I cried tbh
João Vitor Ferreira :')
This live version is even better than the studio one...bravo
eliz zz Thats whats up
every time
She Told the hell outta that story.. The lyrics; I literally pictured every word and turned it into a mini movie in my mind
The best songwriter and performer in years or decades. If La Havas is the future of popular music, we are doing fine. Halfway through my life and I finally find the golden ticket.
+dcQ23 DECADES!
+dcQ23 alana davis
+dcQ23 She's too beautiful!
*I LOVE ALANA DAVIS!*
Try listen to a guy called Alex Vargas, hes an amazing singer-songwriter. Found Lianne trough an interview with him 😊
She's an angel. I never get tired of her voice.
makes the two of us
Sharon C I agree
Did the world get a little bit colder
Not wiser just a little bit older
So slow that we're bound to fall over, oh
Did the heart grow a little bit harder
Too much, too late, too far, too gone
But wasn't it kind of wonderful
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, wonderful
You can trip, flick a switch negative
Break the circuit between us
But electricity lingers
In our fingers
Oh you can burn every fuse and refuse
Turn your positive minus
Electricity lingers
In our fingers
From here there's nothing but horizon
Near dawn, I'm searching for the sunrise
Remember when you put the stars into my eyes, oh
Wasn't it kind of wonderful
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, wonderful
You can trip, flick a switch negative
Break the circuit between us
But electricity lingers
In our fingers
Oh you can burn every fuse and refuse
Turn your positive minus
Electricity lingers
In our fingers
Wasn't it kind of wonderful
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, wonderful
Wasn't it kind of wonderful
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, wonderf
Malu Chrisostomo anyone knows what this song is about?? Didn't get it
i'd think she's being left by her couple
i've got a slightly different point of view, although i don't think it contradicts what you're so honestly saying. i think none of them treated each other very well, and that it became too late to keep trying. he is leaving her, thinking that it is "wise" to do it ("i've got to get on with my life, baby", etc.), and i think that, in some sense, she is ok with. however, she doesn't think it is matter of wisdom but of coldness, not a matter of being growing up but of getting older and colder. she can't help it though, and she understands. and now she's just reminding him that is was, some times, maybe not always, but eternally, wonderful. i think they are both right.
wow! thats beautiful but also sad, I can relate to it tho
@@leomedicidosreis it's about love
one of the most hypnotic songs I've heard
...when you've met your twin flame and couldn't find a way to work it out...and then u meet him/her years later. Oh the pain...
Damn! The beauty of this song is so raw that it breaks my heart. It's PAINFUL. I can't handle it.
Yet, somehow, the only thing that can comfort me and ease my pain - is listening to it again.
And again.
And again.
...thought it was just me....so absolutely beautiful and telling and more than a bit melancholy...
❤️.
How dare she make an already perfect song even more perfect??? There is no way anybody can sound purer or more honest/exposed or even more vulnerable. Im in love.
. 🤎.
She makes everyone feel so lucky to have found her music, that’s so lovely but it makes me ache at the same time that I didn’t find her sooner so I could’ve leaned on this song during a hard time
❤️💜💜💜
I dissolve into a puddle of incoherent humanity every time I see/hear this.
Couldn't have said it better!!!!!
I honestly want to kiss her voice, she made me feel like I was floating in the universe
One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. OMG.
this performance made me cry so hard. the song has been the soundtrack of my life these last three months, everywhere i go in my headphones. now i'm in bed with a fever, this was just too much to handle right now. so. exquisitely. well. done.
omg.. I was literally in bed sick with a fever listening to this song and crying my eyes out!!
three months???? id say mean three lifetimes...
❤️
A lot of great artists not getting Grammy's. Real musicians too.
Liked the vid 6 years later... so sorry. Still listen every week. Just beautiful..
This woman's voice has gotten me through some dark, *dark* moments in my life. I'm so thankful she exists honestly.
Those harmonies in the middle. MELT ME
Her voice is an experience! As light as air and as sweet as honey. Takes u on a journey from start to finish!
❤️
Oh....to experience a soul connection like that... wow..
Man, just outstanding. Lianne is awesome, but we can not sleep on Frida, background vocals!
Frida Mariama Touray, she deserves some recognition ;) love her voice
hear, hear!
All of them are wonderful
Yes Frida she deserved to go Solo!!
Put some Lianne La Havas music to make work easier, but it turned out that I can't focus on working because I cant stop looking at her performing. ... She's just amazing. Same in every video...
this is just too pure and serene. beautiful and wonderful
She is giving more to us than we are giving back... Support this artists work. She’s phenomenal
I hope she knows what this song means to us ... it’s breathtakingly beautiful x
in the cold night, after a long day of work, i play this song in my car as the heat caresses my face, like the hands of lovers gone yet somehow present. lianne & frida's voice with james on keys cradle me into a peaceful longing.
Beautiful.
Great writing 👌🏽
8 years later & still wonderful
Wow wow, why isn't this young lady mainstream famous? I've never heard a young artist sound so refined and legendary.
Jessica Trentwood .I have been asking the same question .She is on my top list of underrated singers/artists!
That chorus digs deep into my soul! I miss having that electric connection with someone. 💔
❤️
one of the most precious songs Ive heard in a long, long time. Lianne can reach souls with her talent. And that is hard to find
This song hurts me deep its so meaningful, Love you girl x
Wow. I finally spontaneously cried listening to her live performance. Thinking about my amazing husband of almost two years. I love you!
I'll never get over this performance it just belongs to that moment, thank you for capturing such perfection

Came back again to listen and watch Lianne le Havas ! This. Song. 🌺
Lianne la Havas🌺
I'm absolutely smitten.
Absolutely lovely. So deep into the vibe and chords.
Excellence.
The chills this melody gives me is kinda wonderful
This song is kinda wonderful
Some people achieve to define grace, it seems
Luc ky What does that even mean? Doesn't make sense grammatically speaking what's so ever
Username Makes perfect sense to me. Don't worry about grammar - read it again without that bias and you'll get it.
In this beautiful and rounded world, where sad stories are repeated, where the museums of memory are filled with dust, where we shout loudly when they trample our rights, but we stand proud to point the other with our prejudices. A wonderful world...
so in love.
I am in love... with this magical song and with Lianne for creating something so angelic. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. My four year old girl is getting a bit fed up of hearing this now. But too bad... cause Mamma is in love and made happy by... Wonderful

+Julien Porisse Yeah totally agree, just seen her in Glasgow a couple of days ago. WOW! So beautiful!
I had to stop everything to listen to this song... Tearssss by the end, and now on repeat for days.
this the 14th time I listen this piece of lyrics from the Gods. love it
My favorite three instruments, the voice, guitar, and piano. Amazing!
I am hooked, mesmerized by your intoxicating, melodic voice, Ms. Lianne. Take me away! I'm ready!
just listened to this song in mode repeat so many times i can not count any more....thank you
yep...that was wonderful
i cant remember the last time i stumbled upon a song so good.... 😍

Isn't it funny how sometimes you feel a bit lost, then somehow a musical artist finds you? And you can just exist there seemingly forever...

Dance alone in this music is like go to heaven for a while.

When you hear something so beautiful it moves you to tears.
This is so many kinds of wonderful. My favorite popular music artist right now.
I loved Frida smiling while singing her part ... really delicate moments were there.
brilliant, haunting, stunning in every sense of the word
First time hearing this song and I'm crying because I'm so in love with it and how it makes me feel. Music now and days cant do that...
C'est tellement beau.. la chanson porte bien son titre.. en l'écoutant on a la sensation de flotter..
