I remember being homesick as a Private Second Class in South Korea in 2004. I called my mom crying from a payphone and she sang this song to me to cheer me up. 17 years 3 deployments to Afghanistan and 6 duty stations later in 2020.....I'm still living my life like it's GOLDEN. Retiring in 2023!! THANKS MOM AND JILL!!! Edit June 2024: Thanks for the love yall and yes I did retire and Jill is still my girl! Living my retired life like it's Golden!! Thank you Lord for guiding me!
My mom passed in 2012😢 she loved this song and this was her theme song in her fight against cancer. She would be smokin a joint and dancing all around the house to this. Now I’m listening and reminiscing about her smokin me a joint with tears in my eyes on Mother’s Day 😢 love you mama thanks Jill Scott
My dad is battling brain cancer, he’s a musician and absolutely loves this song. Cancer took away his ability to play music as he became paralyzed on his right side. But we still listen to this song and remember that life is such a gift from God.
God is the Great Physician and He is a Healer ✝️🕊️👼🏾🕯️. I'm living proof of God's goodness. God is good all the time and all the time God is good. ✝️👼🏾🌞🌹
20/20 Vision on great HEALTH, confident HOPE, and most of all HEAVENLY HAPPINESS, with the help of GOD living my GOLDEN life of skills HE blessed me with to help others. Praise and Love to all.
After this virus dies down, i'm taking my own freedom, where ever i chose to go i am out of here, the east i mean. and i am going to live my life like it's golden !!!!!!!!!!!
This song is still so awesome!!! As a black man, I am so happy to see people who look like me shown in a beautiful way with love and integrity. Fantastic!
My mom and I went shopping Christmas week of Target back in 2004, and I'll never forget when this song came boomin' on KIIS-FM my moms delightfully cranked up the speakers and went, "Oh hell yea, this song is so good!" First time we both heard of Jill Scott, and one of the main reasons my bro & I tricked mom into going to Target again before the holiday wrapped up only to gift her with the "Golden" CD. Thank you for the memories Ms. Scott.
Love being black and natural. Black is beautiful, we should embrace it more. This song make me happy when I start feeling sad. Live your life to the full no matter what.
frankygirl66 bitch you wish you were a melanin golden goddess like Jill Scott. Bitch you wish you were a living breathing jewel like us. Instead your skin is raw chicken like haha
Hidden Beach had a really good thing going. The nonsense of the music industry just hit everybody hard so I understand. Anyway, this is my jam. I like the sincerity, passion and conviction she had in her voice. She sounded nice and strong too.
Aww yeah, this is my jam, this should be the anthem for every black sister out there. We are beautiful, bold, black, and golden. We definitely should live our lives like it's Golden 💖💛🧡💖✝️🕊️👼🏾🕯️🦅🇺🇸🌞🌎🎆🌻🌻🌻🌻👟🌞🦅🇺🇸🤩
How beautiful is this song 2022!!!! Had just left my Oncology doctors appointment and left with hope, joy, faith, and strength to keep fighting! I'm 4 years in and still here thank God! Got in my car and this song came on, Miss Jill Scott "Golden". Liven my life like its golden! My day was fabulous, blessed, and divinely favored. God bless all the music artist for giving us their talent and making a difference in our moments!
I never knew a song could be this UPLIFTING 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I couldn’t walk for four years needing a hip replacement surgery and I finally got it June 29th 2022! God is good and because of it I’m living my life lol it’s GOLDEN🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This song is a constant reminder to everyone that God granted us a beautiful life that is to be lived to the fullest & to take nothing & no one for granted! EVER!! Life's too short, People!!
A close friend invited me to a Mary Kay Party and at the end this awe inspiring song come through the speakers. Women of different races and skin tones got out of their seats to groove to the beat together. I remember all of us had the biggest smiles on our faces! Love and joy was in the room. Thank you Jill for this lovely song!
This song and "A Long Walk" always hit me when I'm depressed 😩💯 Living my life like its golden and hoping God is proud of me honestly keeps me going everyday. Jill just... man.....the tears I've shed to this song HAPPPY TEARS THO!! This song has truly pulled me out of some dark moments
Last song my mommie and I listened to. It been almost 2yrs I have to do what she wants me to do!!!! And that's living my life like it's Golden. Rest in Heavenly Peace. Love you later Mommie 😇😇😇😇😇
I remember listening to this song in 2004, I was working at a job I hated. This song, the lyrics inspired me to quit and travel the world. Best decision I ever made. Living my life it's golden!! ❤
I'm not a huge R&B fan, but this track was in GTA IV. And it's oddly soothing. So I'd always switch the radio station to it after a stressful mission. And, to this day, it brings me to tears.

Can't Believe It's Been 20 Years Since This Classic Song and Video. Jill Scott Is An Highly Underrated Singer/Vocalist/Actress. "Golden" Is an Underrated Dope Gem 💎💎 Love Her Vocals On Here, and Loved It On The "Beauty Shop" Soundtrack. 20 YEARS Old!!! STILL Dope 🔥 🔥
"Living My Life Like It's Golden"...I NEED to start doing that Now; instead of waiting "until I lose weight".Gaining self-confidence is in the journey,not by procrastination or putting yourself "on hold".
I love Jill her smile brightens me whole heartly. I know everybody has problems but a song like this will make me keep going and move on. Only time will heal wounds. Just endure till the end and we shall inherit heaven. Ikr
Jill Scott: This is some of her best work! The writer of this track has a special talent! This song is upbeat and has great energy! I would love to see Jill perform it " live"!
Battling a disease that is whipping my behind but I put this song on during my school drives with my kids.Whooo can say they dont feel like tackling the world while listening to this song!!! Grateful for music it heals n strengthens.🌻💜
16 years ago man...where does time go? Smh. I was in 11th grade when this came out. Absolutely amazing song man. I was a 100% hip hop head and never cared for any other genre of music but once I heard this I started really listening to a lot more neo soul. Thanks Jill.
I love this song for so many many reasons but the main reason being is that I was deep in depression when this album dropped and I was in a state of transition, closing a chapter of my life that weighed heavily on my soul and this song/album, although it didn't completely cure me of my depression, for those moments that it was in play, I was free. Thank you Queen Jill. You are my goddess.
I just told someone that I encourage younger people to grab life by the horns … after I said that I instantly thought…just because I am a certain age I still need to have the same concept.
"I'm holding onto my freedom can't take it from me I was born into it It comes naturally" This is beautifully put. I could not have portrayed it better myself.
My song 2024 healing cancer and coming along! Living my life it’s golden. Jah thank you for slowly healing and life is short care on borrowed time make the best of it!
I'm taking my freedom, pulling it off the shelf Putting it on my chain, wearing it around my neck I'm taking my freedom, putting it in my car Wherever I choose to go it will take me far I'm living my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Golden I'm taking my own freedom, putting it in my song Singing loud and strong, groovin all day long I'm taking my own freedom, putting it in my stroll I'll be high stepping y'all, letting the joy unfold I'm living my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Golden I'm holdin on to my freedom, can't take it from me I was born into it, it comes naturally I'm strumming my own freedom in the god in me Reverence in his glory, hope he proud of me I'm living my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Livin' my life like its golden Golden Livin' my life like its golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden Livin' my life like its golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden Livin' my life like its golden, golden, golden, golden, golden, golden Living my life like its golden, it really matters to me oh!

My baby girl who will be graduating this year, saw this video on VH-1 Soul when she was just a year old and her musical gift was opened up and is still blessing our family to this day. 💖 Thank you, Queen Jill Scott, Gil’s baby girl, for this amazing track. 💯
I just found this song on Pandora and it’s Brilliant 🥳🎉👏🏼🥳🎉👏🏼🎉👏🏼I’m disabled and I Blare it while I’m rolling around doing my errands for the day or just getting out into the Lords Beauty 🥰🥰🥰
The song really helped me come out of a dark place and I had to stop current so much for other people and current about myself and no song push me to do that and I love it now I'm enjoying my life and living it like it's golden and going to different beaches from Cali to Miami thank you girl
Word up; Jill Scott, living my life like it's GOLDEN, is a top favorite musical joint of mine by Jill Scott. Love peace & respect to Jill Scott for sharing such talent and beautiful natural tones of vocals of hers are 👌 awesome.
OMG. Tell me about it. 17 years ago, first time Mom to a newborn. No one to help me. Silly me chose wrong one to get me pregnant. Everytime I felt overwhelmed or like I was gonna lose it, this song would pop on the radio and ease my spirit. I would feel like I could make it another day. Now I have a smart mouth 17 year old whose taller than me. I'm not necessarily a Jill Scott fan, but I definitely owe her one. Don't know where I'd be at some of those would be breaking points, if it weren't for her and that song. Ms. Scott THANK YOU! MUCH LOVE 💓😘. You don't know what you've done.
Jill Scott's smile makes the world a better place.
Yes it does
brenda jackson her smile is everything! and over the years she is even more beautiful!
Thank you so much!

Hey, oh, hey, yeah

Singing loud and strong
Grooving all day long
I'm taking my freedom
Putting it in my stroll
I'll be high-steppin' y'all
Letting the joy unfold
I'm livin' my life like it's golden
Livin' my life like it's golden
Livin' my life like it's golden
Livin' my life like it's golden
Livin' my life like it's golden, golden

Livin' my life like it's golden
Livin' my life like it's golden, golden
I'm holding on to my freedom
Can't take it from me
I was born into it
It comes naturally
I'm strumming my own freedom
Playing the God in me
Representing his glory
Hope he's proud of me
I'm livin' my life like it's golden
Livin' my life like it's golden
Livin' my life like it's golden
(Hope he's proud of me)

Good for you, man! How has it been going for you since your message?
AMEN!!!
The same here as a Latino Man. Love her music and would love to see her in concert in NJ or NY anytime soon. Absolute genius..
Live your golden life, man.
Jill owns this song, her voice is so powerful!!
Can't Believe It's Been 20 Years Since This Classic Song and Video.
Jill Scott Is An Highly Underrated Singer/Vocalist/Actress.
"Golden" Is an Underrated Dope Gem 💎💎 Love Her Vocals On Here, and Loved It On The "Beauty Shop" Soundtrack.
20 YEARS Old!!! STILL Dope 🔥 🔥
"Living My Life Like It's Golden"...I NEED to start doing that Now; instead of waiting "until I lose weight".Gaining self-confidence is in the journey,not by procrastination or putting yourself "on hold".
Amen to that 👏 I need to do the same
Michele Washington great post, never thought bout this song like that, prob cuz i know it from GTA IV lol
Michele Washington ALL WE HAVE IS THE NOW!
jbl01456 DO IT!
Michele Washington hugs, me too! Life is short
Thank you Jesus ❤
Our Freedom is in Jesus Christ. That's why no one can take it from us.!!! Sing it Jill!💯💯
Amen mina
I love Jill her smile brightens me whole heartly. I know everybody has problems but a song like this will make me keep going and move on. Only time will heal wounds. Just endure till the end and we shall inherit heaven. Ikr
Philadelphia stand up! Whether in life or death Golden is marked as proceeded. Love You Aunt Yas! You sang this beautifully.😊
Jill Scott:
This is some of her best work! The writer of this track has a special talent! This song is upbeat and has great energy! I would love to see Jill perform it " live"!
Jill wrote it herself
The nostalgia runs so deep. How beautiful is this song? I love it! ❤
Jill is so pretty.. 👏
You're beautiful to
You beautiful too
So are you
So beautiful. I can smell the cocoa butter through my phone.
This song never gets old and always put you in a good mood!
Sometimes I cry when I hear this song. This song came out a week after my great grandmother passed. I can't listen to this song without crying 😭😭😭
((Hug))❤️
@@elliet5706 love you
My condolences
Heard this playing out of a car window this morning and it reminded me just how good this song is. Jill is such a class act.
One of the most underrated artist. She puts soul and everything into her music.
1:53 “Representing His Glory, hope He’s Proud of Me.” That part … Father I love you!
Battling a disease that is whipping my behind but I put this song on during my school drives with my kids.Whooo can say they dont feel like tackling the world while listening to this song!!! Grateful for music it heals n strengthens.🌻💜
16 years ago man...where does time go? Smh. I was in 11th grade when this came out. Absolutely amazing song man. I was a 100% hip hop head and never cared for any other genre of music but once I heard this I started really listening to a lot more neo soul. Thanks Jill.
I am still listening to this song, July 29, 2019. There are so many talented people born and raised in Philadelphia, Pa.
Yo, Philly is all that WORD!
My birthday yo
Germantown West Oak Lane and Mt. Airy stand up
@@dawoudalmajid1972 west oak lane ! 215 all day ... my bday is 2-15 and my area code
Finally living golden. Thanks Jilly from Philly! We are neighbors! 💛💛💛🌼🌼
Jaehyun make me listen to my old fav song again. dude, you got me
I'm sober now and that's what golden is all about
Donald Flowers Amen.
Amen
Donald Flowers well done ♥️👊🏾
Congrats!
Good Job!!!!
I love this song for so many many reasons but the main reason being is that I was deep in depression when this album dropped and I was in a state of transition, closing a chapter of my life that weighed heavily on my soul and this song/album, although it didn't completely cure me of my depression, for those moments that it was in play, I was free. Thank you Queen Jill. You are my goddess.
This song makes one to appreciate life, the little that you have, you got to live your life like its GOLDEN, APPRECIATION, big-up Ms Jill Scott 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I just told someone that I encourage younger people to grab life by the horns … after I said that I instantly thought…just because I am a certain age I still need to have the same concept.
An instant classic even 16 years later still remains "GOLDEN".
16 years? Already? Seriously? Still sounds fresh and powerful! And timely!
Correction: Now it's 18 years...
Ummmm this was made 16 years ago??? No way! Wow. Time has flown by so fast
Such a beautiful , funky, soulful, upbeat song. It always makes my heart soar x
I'm an Asian, I found this song so emotional and sentimental, so beautiful
What has to do with the song that youre asian? Who cares about your race.
"I'm holding onto my freedom
can't take it from me
I was born into it
It comes naturally"
This is beautifully put. I could not have portrayed it better myself.
Her voice is so beautiful this video reminds of growing up in Chicago early 2000s 🙌🏾❤️❤️ and her showing us that black is beautiful 🙌🏾
My song 2024 healing cancer and coming along! Living my life it’s golden. Jah thank you for slowly healing and life is short care on borrowed time make the best of it!
Be healed, delivered, set free, and blessed in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
BLESSINGS ON BLESSINGS,,,,CANCER BE GONE FOREVER!!!!🙏🙏🙏

Word up; Jill Scott,
living my life like it's GOLDEN, is a top favorite musical joint of mine by Jill Scott. Love peace & respect to Jill Scott for sharing such talent and beautiful natural tones of vocals of hers are 👌 awesome.
One of the best songs I've ever heard. Such an inspiring, powerful and positive message. Love you Jill. ♥️✌️
2024!! I found my freedom!! Thank you lord
Living my life like it’s golden ❤
This brings me back to the golden days driving around liberty city as niko in gta 4, not a worry in the world
Liberty City💯💯💯💯💯
This one hit home for me 😩. The vibes from playing that game that I’ll never get back...
@@barryobamaallday fr man 😔
The nostalgia is very sad I’ll never feel that again
Yesssss
This song hits different when ur literally on the verge of mental breakdown and it pops in your head🥰
OMG. Tell me about it. 17 years ago, first time Mom to a newborn. No one to help me. Silly me chose wrong one to get me pregnant. Everytime I felt overwhelmed or like I was gonna lose it, this song would pop on the radio and ease my spirit. I would feel like I could make it another day. Now I have a smart mouth 17 year old whose taller than me. I'm not necessarily a Jill Scott fan, but I definitely owe her one. Don't know where I'd be at some of those would be breaking points, if it weren't for her and that song. Ms. Scott THANK YOU! MUCH LOVE 💓😘. You don't know what you've done.
Cassandra my Beloved Sweet Queen Daughter ♥ U ARE FAR STRONGER THAN U THINK... (in my God voice).
@@bikerdivarolling4333 yes she is. 💪🏽

I know that’s right
This song is almost in every black movies out there.
