BTW sometimes you gotta REST (without cap letters). Let it go 'till NOT letting it go. Then there's the limits...AND you COULD check out Elephant9 offscreen or not. For the sake of jazz. Or Live Maria Roggen/Come Shine. Jazzjazzjazz. "Don't worry, be happy".
7th heaven is the ultimate level of bliss and happiness, it's where God resides. I can only assume that Angelina is aware that she is here on earth, with a heavenly mission, as such she realizes the heaviness of such a life's intent. At 15 to be so in tune, spiritually speaking, is truly beyond our ability to comprehend...wow!
Pedro. Are you sure about your statement because she would have to have a very comprehensive and accurate knowledge of the Bible for that to be true. I really am a big fan of Angelena but I always remember her age and we should not put pressure on her.
There are many people doing reactions to this song in the last couple days (so many), and I knew there would be. But as a big fan that has been following these reaction for a long time, there are a certain few reactors that I have been waiting for... Wolf, you are one of those ;) I appreciate you giving it a little time after the drop to let it settle in on her channel. All that out of the way... How 'bout this song!!! She never disappoints! I just can't imagine anyone not liking this song. Thanks for taking a deep look at the lyrics. Her lyric ability is really growing to match her vocal ability. She writes songs that are deep and make you think...and in the end, you always come away with a positive message. Every new song she releases makes me so happy to see her developing into just the artist I always hoped she would be. True to her style, deep lyrics, positive messages. What more could we hope for
I agree the hope that she stayed true to her sound. I feel that she wants to please everyone and this song really brings that to light. I can talk a lot about 7th heaven is a perfectly titled song.
@@devon7008 Indeed. She's already ranked amongst some of the best vocalists of my lifetime. And her lyric ability has always been high level.... I mean her first song (at 11) was titled "what is life".... that's a pretty good sign that we will not be getting any shallow lyrics from this one ;)
LOL, You weren't expecting that, were you? I think I've listened to nearly 50 reaction so far, and they all have two things in common. Everyone says it was too short, and EVERYONE moves to the beat. Even I want to get up and dance, and I can't dance at all. I hope this song gets promoted heavily, because it, and most other songs Angelina does, reaches all ages, but especially this song. She gives us some Jazz/Soul and a bit of Pop, and it's pure Angelina. I hope I can see her in concert before I die, and I hope that when Republic releases her first album, they offer it on vinyl. It would be the "Crown Jewel" of my collection.
@@hans-georgschroter7887 I’m not questioning that they might release it on vinyl and that Angelina is a fan of old vinyl recordings, only that the gimmick of simulated vinyl noise was OK on her own earlier production, but I and at least one other who should know about such thingsc, don’t think it belongs on a a label studio production, especially if they plan to actually release it on real vinyl.
For Angelina (and I think it likely that these lyrics are quite personal to her) her 7th heaven is singing, and singing for the whole world. Getting to that blissful happy place (where our dreams reside) isn't easy and she sees the related obstacles (and they fall heavy on her shoulders). That weight, that tension to not compromise, to not take the easy path of fluffy pop songs and skimpy clothes in order gain popularity is the harder path she is willing to walk. She is hopeful, not bitter, not sad. She is taking the high road. She'll get there. What an awesome message and piece of artistry (lyrically and musically) delivered as only she can!
I am hoping that this track, on the album, and being it is swift truncated ending, goes DIRECTLY into a companion song... maybe show that dedication and hard work/perseverance is how to make the LIVE WITH HOPE become realized, vs. pipe dream for lazy ones. I WANT to buy her album on VINYL, not just CD, and definitely not ultra compressed MP3.
This fantastic artist Her voice is so special and the lyrics have a meaning One day I will see a concert with her Norway is next to Sweden 🥰 I love this girl and her voice ❤️❤️ The lyrics I thinks about love of course
The best 2 minutes and 40 seconds I've lived. Angelina brings another stirring quality song that should establish her as the future legend she is destined to become. Thumbs up sir.
I apprehend it as a realitiy check on being a prodigy like her, having been in 7th heaven even at the age of 7/8. 7th heaven on her shoulders now falls heavy, loaded with dreams, expectations, illusions from childhood... It is a song about change and hope, as well as a song to connect to us, maybe hoping for mutual empowerment? Touching, even more by using this upbeat sound.
I think she is recognizing that her life is a lot of people's version of "7th Heaven"; i.e. life could not be better; she has nothing to complain about. But, there is a weight (falls heavy) to that (i.e. pressure to meet expectations, or impatience that things are not happening as fast as she would like), and she has to keep reminding herself to not let that distract her from staying focused on the things that REALLY matter in her life.. to like the person she sees in the mirror and enjoy life.
This girl has life wisdom way way beyond her years . Such a awesome Artist. Mind blowing . You asked about 7th heaven. Well Angelina is from 5 cultures & she's travelled the world from a very young age. But since she is at the moment living in America I think she be meaning the place where you are happier than you ever thought you could be your in 7th heaven. 7th heaven is also the dwelling place of God & his most exiled angels We're he sits on his throne surrounded by Angels singing his praises 24 7
For me she is one of the best songwriter. It's not easy to tell a story with low words. Her message are clearly wise and always in a positive way. You can feel better, when you follow her proposals
Hi Wolf Rock I'm really happy to see your fantastic reaction and analysis with this fantastic song Angelina's. I love this extraordinary melting between her voice, always more mature, warm and powerful, the really deep and bluesy lyrics and the old jazz style atmosphere. She has acquired a style which, by mixing all her sources of inspiration, is increasingly unique and fascinating, I absolutely love it. Angelina is absolutely a blues soul, she sings melancholy, pain, loneliness, love, hope, in an absolutely special and unique way. Take a pinch of Amy, Adele, Billie, Etta, Aretha, Whitney plus a few splashes of some great male singers, mix it all up, distill it and here's an Angelina's pure blend. She have style that, despite the many sources of inspiration, is increasingly unique and fascinating. Angelina is not only a wonderful singer, but also an attentive and profound songwriter and always writes beautiful lyrics, really has an unreal artistic maturity for her age. The more I listen this song the more I love it, is simply amazing. ❤️ ❤️ The only problem is that the song ends 😂
Hi Ollie! Thanks for encouraging people to go watch the video in Angelina's channel and subscribing to it 😊 What a song, right? It came as a total surprise for me, a wonderful surprise. This beat, this rhythm is incredible. So jazzy, so funky and yet with very deep lyrics as Angelina always writes. All her songs have a profound meaning. Nothing you would expect from a 15 year old these days. I share your feeling of being overwhelmed having seen her growing up into the beautiful young lady she is and the great musician she's become! 7th heaven... oh, my. In some religions it means the ultimate state of bliss. Translated to a musical career it could be attaining fame or notoriety which can be a weight on the person's "shoulders". One thing not many people realize is that she wrote this song last year, not long after AGTC. So the bitterness she's talking about could be her own. And that when she realized that she had to let go, to live in the moment, everything was better. Her mind was clear of all those negative feelings. Life goes on and it is up to each of us to decide how to live it: with bitterness or with hope ;)
This song is pure Angelina our Jazz Queen 👸🏻 is back this is just brilliant and you just can’t help but move to it I’m 68 and I’ve followed Angelina since she was 8yrs old she never disappoints she’s out of this world 🌎 and no one comes close to her I’ve lost count how many times I’ve listened to it I just adore her I listen to her every day she makes me feel so happy 😀 when I listen to her as I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks she will never know how much she helps me I love 💕 her so much I’m in 7th Heaven when I listen to Angelina Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🏴🏴💖👼👼👸🏻👸🏻🦶🦶👏👏👏😘XX
you probably won't be able to follow that song on your guitar on the same pitch, the song's in a very difficult key, lol :-) I very much enjoyed your reaction and your take on the lyrics. Not many analyze the lyrics as thorough as you do, but I agree that the lyrics are just as important as the music, because ideally they correlate with each other. E. g. it surely is no coincidence that she slid up with her voice when she sang "hope", or I take it that the heavy bass is a symbolism for something that lies "heavy on someone's shoulders". At the same time the song's upbeat and radiates confidence and positive vibes, which, when thinking of 7th heaven and hope, is the main point of the song. The mastery lies within those small details in the way she composed the song and the way she articulates every word. When she sings "slowly fading" the duration of the notes are longer for instance. In the end, when she sings about the "bitterness" and that we "can't do anything about it" she also didn't do much musically wise, the instruments are thinned out and she cuts the words with glottal stops as to demonstrate that she doesn't put much emphasis (weight, significance) on these words. During the verse about the lack of strength, power and unfulfilled miracles the contrabass drops out for a moment, which is a way to express the line "there's nothing in you", however only after when it says "you have to let go" the bass kicks in again and the music "picks up the pace" (subjectively). I take it that "7th heaven" stands for bliss and is right in front of us. That's probably why she sang the word "7th heaven" literally right after the previous line "right in front of your eyes", there's no pause/gap between those words; if I heard correctly she even did "back phrasing" there as she sang the word a tad ahead of the beat. In my opinion the meaning of "7th heaven" lies in your perception of life, life can be bliss or sorrow, it depends on how you look at it, just like the way you look at yourself in the mirror. "7th Heaven" is similar to the "sky" in my opinion. Sometimes the sky shines, sometimes it rains, there's even the idiom "the sky is falling" (I'm also reminded of the song "Skyfall" by Adele). The sky is like fate, you can't change it, fate can be heavy on your shoulders. You can't change the look of yourself, you can't create a miracle, but what you can change is your perspective! Your hope might defy fate. You can accept and love yourself for who you are and your life might turn to the better. "Live should be lived with hope" after all. The idea of "7th heaven" and "sorrow" standing side by side, just like two sides of a coin, you just gotta flip it (change your perspective), is reflected in the middle of the song, when she sings "sadness" and "7th heaven" with two voices simultaneously! The lyrics and the music are both structured symmetrically. This is pure art. Props to Angelina.
Angelina👣 If You think about it, She has from the very start with "Gloomy Sunday" throughout all her 130+ Covers of all different styles and Genres from over 85 different Vocal Masters from past century.. What She has done is; She has brought back this beautiful Tones from the past that otherwise would have faded away and got lost in time, Angelina has brought back those Tones along with the style and atmosphere of the different Eras and "dusted them of" rejuvenated them made them Current and brought them back into the Future 😊💫 Many try to compare Angelina👣 To this artist or that but it's more like all those Artists are wrapped up in One >Angelina< 🤗 From the very first tone that came from her ab.7 Years ago I knew instantly she was special, Unique and the very first thought that came through my brain ( after it had thawed up from the brain freeze I got after the initial shock) was "She is an Angel of Future Music" 🎶👼🏻👣👸🏻A🌟 Thanks again for Your as Always wonderful reaction and review to Our singing Angel ~ OneLove 🕊
I feel like this song is talking about the struggle of wanting to be a great artist, and fulfilling her promise, both for herself and the expectations of others. Especially when you want something so much, and you can't seem to get there, and people expect you to do amazing things, but sometimes it doesn't play out the way you expect, as life throws you curveballs.
I think she's singing about the creative process, and the burdens that go along with measuring up to all the accolades bestowed upon her, creating another little masterpiece while doing so. The girl is a musical genius.
Now we know for a certainty that Angelina is not going to abandon her jazz roots! She’s staying true to her early influences like Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, and Amy Winehouse. There's no mistaking the artist singing this song. Angie has forged a unique style and sound over many years, regardless of the genre, regardless of the song. It's her! I can't wait to see a live performance of this, and also so many of her greatest to come. Angie's my daily dosage since I found this treasure in 2015. As I said in a previous comment, the Jazz Queen is back! IMO, this is the third time Angie has addressed the burdens of her quest to “sing for the world” in her songs. In “Shield” it was, “forgive me for all that I am.” In “Million Miles” it was, “I’ll never regret what I do.” And now, it’s the whole song with lyrics like, “Don’t give up cause it’s right in front of your eyes,” and “Seventh heaven on my shoulders falls heavy. Sometimes I feel all my dreams are slowly fading” Also, “Sometimes I wanna be powerful, gotta find the strength within me. Sometimes you look for miracle but there’s nothing in you.” Yes, this IMO, is about Angie, but also a strong message to others with the lyric, “LIfe should be lived with hope.” So, IMO this is yet another example that Angie’s songwriting has true meaning to her, and is a message to us all.
Yes, Angelina is the most complete young artist we have in the world today! Many who sing well, but we can ask them if they can switch credibly between jazz, edm, pop, country, and classical music in no time. In addition to her beautiful voice, you also have a unique communication ability. After Angelina has sung a cover song, I rather continue on her and forget the original artist. And she's still only 15 years old.
Nice to see you back with Angelina Wolf. Enjoy your honest reactions. What a fantastic song. You were mentioning the lyrics so here is a quote from Angelina regarding the release of her song 7th Heaven you may find interesting. This appeared today in an article from "With Guitars" which is a music magazine.: Angelina's comment on release of 7th Heaven: Angelina commented, “Life has ups and downs, and you always have to be ready for whatever is coming up. The song is a reminder to look at everything in a positive light and not get down on yourself. Most importantly-no matter what you’re doing-don’t give up. It’s also meant to make you dance,” she smiles.Stay tuned for the premiere of the “7th Heaven” music video soon!
Yes, that at "sound of the diamond point in the groove of an old vinyl disc" just perfectly in the mood and you do what all of us do: listen again and again. 😋 It's amazing how she captures the sense of music, the sense of words, the sense of the soul and gives them back in such a deep way: awesome! 🥰 The comment of soundofdakota suits her perfectly: "The talent of this Girl is Freaking insane!" 🤩
I can't wait to see the official music video of this. I picture it with men with top hats long tail tux and cain's with Angelina in the for front with a crowd snapping there fingers to the beat. But just to much talking at the beginning I came close of leaving hey but it's Angelina Great Reaction Stay Safe ❤️
Maybe many people approach her with expectations that her life is blissful, which of course can't meet their expectations, and is heavy for her to work with and not disappoint them
big thumbs up to you, yes totally agree to give the artist the first views !!! Respect the artist ...... it is not so difficult as you just shown us . Thanks Wolf
Pure Angelina. She mixed jazz, blues and pop in this song and created her very own genre. I’m going to call it, the Angelina affect. I so love her voice.
7th Heaven ultimate bliss,the place where God resides.Remember she wrote in her book about a ladder and light filling her heart?That's a mystical experience and I suspect as AJ does with everything that she learned something to help guide her life.That feeling must have been powerful and blissful,but also very elusive as such experiences tend to be.As brilliant as she is she no doubt knows that purity of heart,hope,and living in the eternal present are keys.
Great reaction Wolf, liked it! Angelina is the queen of music and because of that I have to say: Everybody on your knees! The Queen is entering the room!🤣😁😂
Someone in a chat at another reactor site I was just on mentioned that an Italian Music/Media influencer just posted to his 16 million followers that they should give a listen to this track of Angelina Jordan's. If the story is true, that's the kind of promotion this song deserves...and more.
Angelina lives up to her name, as she is indeed angelic when she sings. She’s fifteen and has the unusual gift of communicating her feelings in her music. She’s growing in every way. I think she is singing about herself. She has so much to live up to not only for herself, but for all of the people who love her, and she sometimes is overwhelmed with the awesome responsibility. Her lyrics express what I’m trying to say way better than I can. Honestly, I get chills every time I hear her sing. I hope I live long enough to watch her continue on to her 7th heaven journey. I’m so grateful for her. She is a blessing.
Wolf Rock thanks for your very nice reaction with reading the lyrics to this inspiring song by Angelina. The Barefoot Angel opened the gate to the 7th Heaven and took us with her inside to a wonderful and a worry free world. Angelina, the following poem by Rumi the great Persian poet, mystic, and Sufi was written about you centuries ago: “O heart, I cannot explain you, you are what you are. But I know this much that now you are tearing apart the curtain of the heavens like the sun.”
Great reaction. I don't think anyone saw this coming, but wow.... You ask about 7th Heaven - I think back to the interview on Skavlan when she was 12 years old, two things: 1. When you sing you don't sound like a 12yr old, do you feel like a 12 yr old? - Only when I look at my passport. - In this song she wants to look in the mirror and feel able to love the 15 yr old looking back at her. 2.When I see you on stage, who do you feel you become? - When I sing I go to another world, it's endless, full of happiness. - In this song this could be the endless bliss of 7th Heaven...
Your opening comments are why you're a favorite subscriber channel. I'm sorry that RUclips elects not to numerically link our views of your reaction and her videos as numeric counts for her videos. That's what happens - I'm watching her video each time I watch reactors' views. With your 2nd play-thru's, I was thinking not of contemporary singers but turning the tables: "Which '30s, 40's, 50's and '60s singers could I hear doing this?" Roger Miller... Nat King Cole... Ray Charles. Those are the 'modern' ones... but Ginger Rogers, Lauren Bacall, Etta James absolutely, yes, too.
Super great reaction. I believe it's the ultimate reward of heaven. Angelina co wrote the song and the melody. Angelina IS the Queen of Jazz/Pop/Soul.: )
Your opinion concerning the respect that is due to the artist being more important than the quick superior number of views that a diligent reactor can gain by reacting as soon as a new song is posted or released is based on an elegant and generous spirit of discernment and wisdom that honors you, Wolf Rock. I would add that your practice of reading the lyrics before listening twice to the musical part of the song shows that your reactions are always the result of a clear understanding of the value of the performance and of the merits of the artist. The new single of Angelina, although way too short, is a stunning piece of jazz with which Angelina is very familiar since it bears the exact color, tempo, energy, vibration and frequency of the music that reigns in her. In my opinion, it is partly on that fertile ground of bluesy soulful cool jazz that she should continue for awhile to distinguish herself from other vocalists, to excel in her individual field and to prosper. I subscribe entirely to your views and analysis. I wish you 30K subs by the middle of April.
I was so glad to see that Angelina is staying true to her roots. I love her soul/jazz voice. We are blessed to have her in this lifetime. My prayer is that many would appreciated the artist that she is. Can you believe she is only 15.
@@wolfrock2270 Back when Angelina was eight years old, after one of her performances on NGT, Mia Gunderson told Angelina she had a unique style and "You must protect your style." I think Angelina listened to her.
Angelina combines the classic with the modern. Angelina takes the different styles of music (jazz, blouse, R&B etc.) and makes her own, unmistakable ANGELINA STYLE. The fact that 7th Heaven clearly bears Angelina's signature is indisputable and shows again that the producers of Stargate give Angelina every freedom to make music according to Angelina's ideas. Angelina wrote this song with two Norwegian co-writers Mikkel Storleer Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen, the founders of Stargate, the hit makers and GRAMMY® AWARD winners (4 awards and around 14 nominations). ✌️😷💯 *AJ* 💯👣
I believe that the 7th heaven is the desire for perfect happiness. This expectation can be heavy on the shoulders. Some are bitter that others are apparently in 7th heaven, but not themselves. To achieve perfect happiness - you must love yourself first. Then the 7th heaven is easier to achieve. Let go of all the expectations of the world - your 7th heaven may already be present.
As she said life is live with hope I m so happy that she reminds us in this stressful world now. She is my angel everyday. God bless her. I agree with your reactions which is always full of positive vibe like the song. Love her 💗
Always the bezt cover of any song..Angelina you're amazingly incredible..i always get hypnotized while listening to your beautiful musíc..luv this girl..Godbless ..stay grounded in God's protection...
This great grandma has lost count of how many times she has listened to 7th Heaven. Thanks Wolf Rock, I love the lyrics, the composition, the instrumental background and the fact that I can get up and move to Angelina's latest HIT ♥
If you listen to her read her Diary about why she doesn't wear shoes when she performs, ruclips.net/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/видео.html, after she gave her shoes to the other little girl she says her heart opened up and was filled with light, as if there was from Earth to Heaven a staircase, she climbed up the stairs and felt, to be able to do something for another human was such a big thing, it was hard to describe. She wrote this when she was six. Look at the Cover in front of you, discover the meaning of the color of the roses, and is that "threatening" cactus an Aloe Vera? Just like in her songs , she does these things deliberately. It's impossible to imagine being in her shoes, she doesn't wear any. 7th Heaven on her shoulders falls heavy. She has my utmost respect and love.
Nice reaction as allways. I wonder if the 7th heaven that falls hard on her shoulders is the burden of fame. Everyone expect that she must allready be in that heaven of happiness since she is so successfull and talented. But she is just a girl with dreams and hopes like the rest of us and must fight for it without loosing her self.. Just a thaught..😉
I think the 7th Heaven reference is to Angie's goal which I believe she now knows is inevitable. She has also referenced the knowledge of the weight of the responsibility that comes with such power. She now knows that her GIFT is not without consequence. Her every action is scrutinized. With all the love and support we give her it is really only her family that keeps her from feeling alone. Being so gifted and special has a price and I most certainly hope to help her deal with it.
7th Heaven in Islam (her grandmother, Mery, is Iranian and I believe she was raised with strong Islamic influences.) Attaining "7th Heaven" may indeed weigh heavy on the shoulders of our Angelina in meeting the spiritual criteria while she is exposed to the fame and successes of today. She is doing great and her barefoot commitment is a reflection of that goodness in her spirit (my 2 cents)
Thank you for your very insightful reaction. I’ve read many of the comments on the original video and many reaction videos. I’m surprised no one mentioned the aloe leaves in her photo. The aloe plant has healing properties and is used medicinally to fight infections. I think this is subtle but intelligent signal from Angelina offering to heal our souls with her music especially in these crazy times that our world is experiencing. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Several people have commented about Aloe....but the only aloes (and there are many) are much more fleshy in my experience. In my yard here in S California are Saguaro, which are a dead match for the photo...solid spike at the tip, cupped shape to allow dew or fog or (rarely) rain to run to the root center. And enough hooks along both side to deter inquiring tongues....
What do you mean, you can't explain exactly??? OF COURSE YOU DID!! You want to get up and DANCE!!🕺And by the way, you are one of only 2 reactors out of 30plus that caught and commented on the vinyl scratch at the end!!💯💯 Great reaction, can't wait to hear the rest of your analysis!!
I'm on Spotify, RUclips Music, and Apple Music and like/follow Angelina on all of them. 0 notifications of a new song. Disappointed to say the least that I had to wait a few days to find out about this song. Found out about Dimash's new song only by direct search too. Just goes to show, you have to keep an eye on their channels directly regardless of the platform. As for the song, it's definitely one to groove to. Quite fun sounding for such serious lyrics, but then again, having fun is one of the best ways of releasing the stresses of life, so it works quite well together.
Well first I really love your reactions as a Christian 7th Heaven is the highest point in heaven where God is and his angels it represents pure happiness,joy hope, pure love and Angelina takes me there every time she sings
Hi Olly, so happy to see your reaction to Angelina's amazingly wonderful new release. Thank you for ALWAYS being so thoughtful, kind, and insightful when reacting to our Angelina. My 2 cents, is that Angelina continues to take us along with her on her lifes journey. I think of her song What is Life, where I believe she was in 7th Heaven (pure bliss), sitting at the piano, creating paintings like her grandma, feeding birds with her little sister, life was beautiful. She was singing about her life at the time. Then fast forward, it would be interesting to know when she wrote this, pre AGT or post AGT. Quite a bit has happened in her life since then. The passing of her grandfather. AGT, signing with a major record label, everything put on hold (pandemic), wow that's a lot! 7th Heaven on my shoulder falls heavy. That's my 2 cents Olly, looking forward to what your take is. The one thing for certain is that her music continues to bring joy to the hearts of many. What Is Life, the good and the bad. 7th Heaven, life should be lived with hope. Continue to stay classic, stay well and stay safe. 😊
The man is back 🤘 Nice to see you back again on the train Ollie, I knew you would love this one. Really nice to hear what a respect you have for the artist when you wait with your reaction. It might be smart as well, you wont drown in the ones that is in a hurry. "I den syvende himmel", Norwegian for "in the 7th Heaven", it is about the ultimate happiness, like when you are newly in love, or your first child.
I know this is the third time I have commented but you are very correct it's like old jazz brought into modern light and I love this song it is a finger snapping head bopping get you up dancing kind of song
There is no money in it for the music moguls. She just might turn that around. I like tat part too. Where she sings up over an incoming line. I also like how she lifts the notes on hope. It is a place of highest closeness to God. It is a difficult space to get to. But all our efforts should be towards that. This is a seemingly simple song until you listen to it. People are going to be talking about this song awhile. Great reaction Wolf. Have you heard the latest from Daneliya? She did a cover of 'Take Me To Church' that is pretty tight. Did I mention she is getting more beautiful every day? Well she is. All our little girls are becoming young lady's, and beautiful ones at that.
"Seventh heaven on my shoulder falls heavy" I think it is about the responsibility we have on our shoulders to be happy and thankful for what we have. So specially because all we have been living lately, it might be easy to give up on our dreams. She is giving us the advise to never loose hope and keep following our dreams.
Great reaction, Wolf. And, I think you really got it. After all, happiness is a choice. And 7th Heaven is a state of bliss. How do you get there? It's really simple...but, sometimes very hard.
I agree that jazz is kind of in the back ground. But I think Angelina is, and has been, bringing it to the forground. I don't think it will really matter in the end what style of music she writes and records of her own. I just want to listen to her sing. What a trip it's been so far. Has any other artist ever done three versions of the same song, as in "Million Miles". I found that amazing.
If you would like to go to the reaction go to 10:10 that will be the place to start. I wanted to talk about the lyrics a bit. Thank you!
Greetings from Russia! You've completely forgotten our beloved Dimash!
Greetings from Russia! You've completely forgotten our beloved Dimash Kudaibergen!
You just HAD to wait
pushed some button -well surstrømming needs waiting -it's actually delicious. I just can't understand the volume of AJA's empathy.
BTW sometimes you gotta REST (without cap letters). Let it go 'till NOT letting it go. Then there's the limits...AND you COULD check out Elephant9 offscreen or not. For the sake of jazz. Or Live Maria Roggen/Come Shine. Jazzjazzjazz. "Don't worry, be happy".
7th heaven is a state of extreme happiness, euphoria. It is the feeling you have listening to AJ.
Bliss, you are on the right track. Very cool. Love it.
The new queen of jazz, and she is 15 years old!
Oh yes....I agree...
7th heaven is the ultimate level of bliss and happiness, it's where God resides. I can only assume that Angelina is aware that she is here on earth, with a heavenly mission, as such she realizes the heaviness of such a life's intent. At 15 to be so in tune, spiritually speaking, is truly beyond our ability to comprehend...wow!
That my friend is perfect. That is exactly the thought.
Great reaction, as always. And very smart comments.
Pedro. Are you sure about your statement because she would have to have a very comprehensive and accurate knowledge of the Bible for that to be true. I really am a big fan of Angelena but I always remember her age and we should not put pressure on her.
Pedro. Sorry but she should have read you
Pedro, putting religion aside, l totally agree with you.
There are many people doing reactions to this song in the last couple days (so many), and I knew there would be. But as a big fan that has been following these reaction for a long time, there are a certain few reactors that I have been waiting for... Wolf, you are one of those ;) I appreciate you giving it a little time after the drop to let it settle in on her channel.
All that out of the way... How 'bout this song!!! She never disappoints! I just can't imagine anyone not liking this song. Thanks for taking a deep look at the lyrics. Her lyric ability is really growing to match her vocal ability. She writes songs that are deep and make you think...and in the end, you always come away with a positive message. Every new song she releases makes me so happy to see her developing into just the artist I always hoped she would be. True to her style, deep lyrics, positive messages. What more could we hope for
I agree the hope that she stayed true to her sound. I feel that she wants to please everyone and this song really brings that to light. I can talk a lot about 7th heaven is a perfectly titled song.
If she's this good at 15, in a few years I can see her being rated amongst some of the greatest lyricists....
@@devon7008 Indeed. She's already ranked amongst some of the best vocalists of my lifetime. And her lyric ability has always been high level.... I mean her first song (at 11) was titled "what is life".... that's a pretty good sign that we will not be getting any shallow lyrics from this one ;)
@@RustyShacklefordChannel I think she inherited the poet part of Grandma Mery, among other things..
I appreciate your mana'o.. Deep and accurate. Mahalo sir
A absolut cool Song,just amazing like all she do)))))
Its sooooo frickin good. Top notch timeless quality music
Beautifully modern old school jazz! This young woman is a genius :>)
This tune is an instant classic.
She just gets better and better! So talented and unique in more ways then one! She sounds like AJ and no other!
LOL, You weren't expecting that, were you? I think I've listened to nearly 50 reaction so far, and they all have two things in common. Everyone says it was too short, and EVERYONE moves to the beat. Even I want to get up and dance, and I can't dance at all. I hope this song gets promoted heavily, because it, and most other songs Angelina does, reaches all ages, but especially this song. She gives us some Jazz/Soul and a bit of Pop, and it's pure Angelina. I hope I can see her in concert before I die, and I hope that when Republic releases her first album, they offer it on vinyl. It would be the "Crown Jewel" of my collection.
Well said, vinyl rest more longer than a CD until the end of our lifetime 🎶💯😇
Yes! vinyl please.... I could dust off the old Rega turntable, and I'd be in.... well you guessed it. :-)
If they plan to release it on vinyl why would they add vinyl noise to it to begin with.
@@fredbloggs6080 if there enough fans, they will do it, I am shure. Angelina has a good connection to the old classics, look her last Interviews
@@hans-georgschroter7887 I’m not questioning that they might release it on vinyl and that Angelina is a fan of old vinyl recordings, only that the gimmick of simulated vinyl noise was OK on her own earlier production, but I and at least one other who should know about such thingsc, don’t think it belongs on a a label studio production, especially if they plan to actually release it on real vinyl.
For Angelina (and I think it likely that these lyrics are quite personal to her) her 7th heaven is singing, and singing for the whole world. Getting to that blissful happy place (where our dreams reside) isn't easy and she sees the related obstacles (and they fall heavy on her shoulders). That weight, that tension to not compromise, to not take the easy path of fluffy pop songs and skimpy clothes in order gain popularity is the harder path she is willing to walk. She is hopeful, not bitter, not sad. She is taking the high road. She'll get there. What an awesome message and piece of artistry (lyrically and musically) delivered as only she can!
I am hoping that this track, on the album, and being it is swift truncated ending, goes DIRECTLY into a companion song... maybe show that dedication and hard work/perseverance is how to make the LIVE WITH HOPE become realized, vs. pipe dream for lazy ones. I WANT to buy her album on VINYL, not just CD, and definitely not ultra compressed MP3.
I was thinking along those same lines.
@@yousurf374 I was thinking the same thing and found a place that sells it in FLAC format.
Nice analysis. 👍👍
This fantastic artist Her voice is so special and the lyrics have a meaning One day I will see a concert with her Norway is next to Sweden 🥰 I love this girl and her voice ❤️❤️ The lyrics I thinks about love of course
The best 2 minutes and 40 seconds I've lived. Angelina brings another stirring quality song that should establish her as the future legend she is destined to become. Thumbs up sir.
I am glad a reaction without someone comparing Angelina to others. She is all by herself with her voice and compassion she has. 👍
that is a fact, no need to compare this angel with anyone.
oh my God I was having a full-fledged anxiety attack waiting for this video to come out for my favorite reactor thank you thank you thank you
I apprehend it as a realitiy check on being a prodigy like her, having been in 7th heaven even at the age of 7/8. 7th heaven on her shoulders now falls heavy, loaded with dreams, expectations, illusions from childhood... It is a song about change and hope, as well as a song to connect to us, maybe hoping for mutual empowerment? Touching, even more by using this upbeat sound.
Great insight.
That is what Angelina does with all her songs 😊👍
7th heaven has a deep meaning hints in it.....
AJ is a genius artist....i am in 7th Heaven whenever i'm hearing AJ singing. Thanks sir...✌
A wise explanation 🙏😎💯
Love 7th.Heaven, ❤️❤️❤️love your reaction 👍🏼🤩
I think she is recognizing that her life is a lot of people's version of "7th Heaven"; i.e. life could not be better; she has nothing to complain about. But, there is a weight (falls heavy) to that (i.e. pressure to meet expectations, or impatience that things are not happening as fast as she would like), and she has to keep reminding herself to not let that distract her from staying focused on the things that REALLY matter in her life.. to like the person she sees in the mirror and enjoy life.
Simply LOVE your reaction! She’s always amazes us all. 💞🇳🇴
hey Ollie, i love your react. you are charismatic and a good guy. congratulations on your videos. I am your Brazilian fan. a big hug for you
This girl has life wisdom way way beyond her years . Such a awesome
Artist. Mind blowing .
You asked about 7th heaven. Well Angelina is from 5 cultures & she's travelled the world from a very young age. But since she is at the moment living in America
I think she be meaning the place where you are happier than you ever thought you could be your in 7th heaven.
7th heaven is also the
dwelling place of God
& his most exiled angels
We're he sits on his throne surrounded by
Angels singing his praises 24 7
I think you meant "...his most *exalted* angels..."
@@fredbloggs6080 yea exactly lol . That shows I'm only human . But Angelina mind blowing .
Super human
@@joekaye2228 To err is human. But why must you be *so* human? That was on one of a set of joke cards I had when I was a kid.
Jazz is back baby!! 😎
Oh yah. Thats a fact.
So much agree with you, she needs views, likes, comments and subscribers on her official yt channel!
For me she is one of the best songwriter. It's not easy to tell a story with low words. Her message are clearly wise and always in a positive way. You can feel better, when you follow her proposals
I don't think it's by chance we get the musical climax in the phrase "... let go of sadness!"
I noticed the plant on the cover. It is an aloe vera plant which is often used for healing, including scars. Interesting symbolism!
healing.
Somebody said in another reaction, that she single handedly created a new genre of music, jazz/pop.
Or maybe "JAZZY BLUES" ?
Hi Wolf Rock I'm really happy to see your fantastic reaction and analysis with this fantastic song Angelina's. I love this extraordinary melting between her voice, always more mature, warm and powerful, the really deep and bluesy lyrics and the old jazz style atmosphere. She has acquired a style which, by mixing all her sources of inspiration, is increasingly unique and fascinating, I absolutely love it. Angelina is absolutely a blues soul, she sings melancholy, pain, loneliness, love, hope, in an absolutely special and unique way. Take a pinch of Amy, Adele, Billie, Etta, Aretha, Whitney plus a few splashes of some great male singers, mix it all up, distill it and here's an Angelina's pure blend.
She have style that, despite the many sources of inspiration, is increasingly unique and fascinating. Angelina is not only a wonderful singer, but also an attentive and profound songwriter and always writes beautiful lyrics, really has an unreal artistic maturity for her age. The more I listen this song the more I love it, is simply amazing. ❤️ ❤️
The only problem is that the song ends 😂
I was going to say that it end to soon. I have listen to 5 more times and i think a couple more.
@@wolfrock2270 ❤️ 😂
I must confess that I liked your reaction so much that I saw it again and I smiled stupidly all the time, beautiful 🤗
@@wolfrock2270 It's like a drug. The more you get, the more you want. 😂
Great insights on the lyrics. Best I’ve heard so far. Thank you 🙏💕
I agree with your comments I love this song I love her jazz sound I hope she stays with it.
Thank you and hi Wolf, your going to love it.... Love ya and always classic😊👍🥰
I Totally loved it had to play it a couple more times. lol Stay Classic
Hi Ollie! Thanks for encouraging people to go watch the video in Angelina's channel and subscribing to it 😊
What a song, right? It came as a total surprise for me, a wonderful surprise. This beat, this rhythm is incredible. So jazzy, so funky and yet with very deep lyrics as Angelina always writes. All her songs have a profound meaning. Nothing you would expect from a 15 year old these days.
I share your feeling of being overwhelmed having seen her growing up into the beautiful young lady she is and the great musician she's become!
7th heaven... oh, my. In some religions it means the ultimate state of bliss.
Translated to a musical career it could be attaining fame or notoriety which can be a weight on the person's "shoulders".
One thing not many people realize is that she wrote this song last year, not long after AGTC. So the bitterness she's talking about could be her own. And that when she realized that she had to let go, to live in the moment, everything was better. Her mind was clear of all those negative feelings. Life goes on and it is up to each of us to decide how to live it: with bitterness or with hope ;)
This song is pure Angelina our Jazz Queen 👸🏻 is back this is just brilliant and you just can’t help but move to it I’m 68 and I’ve followed Angelina since she was 8yrs old she never disappoints she’s out of this world 🌎 and no one comes close to her I’ve lost count how many times I’ve listened to it I just adore her I listen to her every day she makes me feel so happy 😀 when I listen to her as I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks she will never know how much she helps me I love 💕 her so much I’m in 7th Heaven when I listen to Angelina Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴🏴🏴💖👼👼👸🏻👸🏻🦶🦶👏👏👏😘XX
you probably won't be able to follow that song on your guitar on the same pitch, the song's in a very difficult key, lol :-)
I very much enjoyed your reaction and your take on the lyrics. Not many analyze the lyrics as thorough as you do, but I agree that the lyrics are just as important as the music, because ideally they correlate with each other. E. g. it surely is no coincidence that she slid up with her voice when she sang "hope", or I take it that the heavy bass is a symbolism for something that lies "heavy on someone's shoulders". At the same time the song's upbeat and radiates confidence and positive vibes, which, when thinking of 7th heaven and hope, is the main point of the song. The mastery lies within those small details in the way she composed the song and the way she articulates every word. When she sings "slowly fading" the duration of the notes are longer for instance. In the end, when she sings about the "bitterness" and that we "can't do anything about it" she also didn't do much musically wise, the instruments are thinned out and she cuts the words with glottal stops as to demonstrate that she doesn't put much emphasis (weight, significance) on these words. During the verse about the lack of strength, power and unfulfilled miracles the contrabass drops out for a moment, which is a way to express the line "there's nothing in you", however only after when it says "you have to let go" the bass kicks in again and the music "picks up the pace" (subjectively). I take it that "7th heaven" stands for bliss and is right in front of us. That's probably why she sang the word "7th heaven" literally right after the previous line "right in front of your eyes", there's no pause/gap between those words; if I heard correctly she even did "back phrasing" there as she sang the word a tad ahead of the beat. In my opinion the meaning of "7th heaven" lies in your perception of life, life can be bliss or sorrow, it depends on how you look at it, just like the way you look at yourself in the mirror. "7th Heaven" is similar to the "sky" in my opinion. Sometimes the sky shines, sometimes it rains, there's even the idiom "the sky is falling" (I'm also reminded of the song "Skyfall" by Adele). The sky is like fate, you can't change it, fate can be heavy on your shoulders. You can't change the look of yourself, you can't create a miracle, but what you can change is your perspective! Your hope might defy fate. You can accept and love yourself for who you are and your life might turn to the better. "Live should be lived with hope" after all. The idea of "7th heaven" and "sorrow" standing side by side, just like two sides of a coin, you just gotta flip it (change your perspective), is reflected in the middle of the song, when she sings "sadness" and "7th heaven" with two voices simultaneously! The lyrics and the music are both structured symmetrically. This is pure art. Props to Angelina.
Well said! Great analysis.
Angelina👣 If You think about it, She has from the very start with "Gloomy Sunday" throughout all her 130+ Covers of all different styles and Genres from over 85 different Vocal Masters from past century.. What She has done is; She has brought back this beautiful Tones from the past that otherwise would have faded away and got lost in time, Angelina has brought back those Tones along with the style and atmosphere of the different Eras and "dusted them of" rejuvenated them made them Current and brought them back into the Future 😊💫
Many try to compare Angelina👣 To this artist or that but it's more like all those Artists are wrapped up in One >Angelina< 🤗 From the very first tone that came from her ab.7 Years ago I knew instantly she was special, Unique and the very first thought that came through my brain ( after it had thawed up from the brain freeze I got after the initial shock) was "She is an Angel of Future Music" 🎶👼🏻👣👸🏻A🌟
Thanks again for Your as Always wonderful reaction and review to Our singing Angel
~ OneLove 🕊
I feel like this song is talking about the struggle of wanting to be a great artist, and fulfilling her promise, both for herself and the expectations of others. Especially when you want something so much, and you can't seem to get there, and people expect you to do amazing things, but sometimes it doesn't play out the way you expect, as life throws you curveballs.
If Angelina wasn't one of the best vocalists ever, she could easily be a top notch therapist.... wait a minute! She' *is* that too!
7th heaven is often described as complete happiness.
I think she's singing about the creative process, and the burdens that go along with measuring up to all the accolades bestowed upon her, creating another little masterpiece while doing so. The girl is a musical genius.
😊👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ She is a jewel!!!!
Now we know for a certainty that Angelina is not going to abandon her jazz roots! She’s staying true to her early influences like Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, and Amy Winehouse. There's no mistaking the artist singing this song. Angie has forged a unique style and sound over many years, regardless of the genre, regardless of the song. It's her! I can't wait to see a live performance of this, and also so many of her greatest to come. Angie's my daily dosage since I found this treasure in 2015. As I said in a previous comment, the Jazz Queen is back!
IMO, this is the third time Angie has addressed the burdens of her quest to “sing for the world” in her songs. In “Shield” it was, “forgive me for all that I am.” In “Million Miles” it was, “I’ll never regret what I do.” And now, it’s the whole song with lyrics like, “Don’t give up cause it’s right in front of your eyes,” and “Seventh heaven on my shoulders falls heavy. Sometimes I feel all my dreams are slowly fading” Also, “Sometimes I wanna be powerful, gotta find the strength within me. Sometimes you look for miracle but there’s nothing in you.” Yes, this IMO, is about Angie, but also a strong message to others with the lyric, “LIfe should be lived with hope.” So, IMO this is yet another example that Angie’s songwriting has true meaning to her, and is a message to us all.
Yes, Angelina is the most complete young artist we have in the world today! Many who sing well, but we can ask them if they can switch credibly between jazz, edm, pop, country, and classical music in no time. In addition to her beautiful voice, you also have a unique communication ability. After Angelina has sung a cover song, I rather continue on her and forget the original artist. And she's still only 15 years old.
Nice to see you back with Angelina Wolf. Enjoy your honest reactions. What a fantastic song. You were mentioning the lyrics so here is a quote from Angelina regarding the release of her song 7th Heaven you may find interesting. This appeared today in an article from "With Guitars" which is a music magazine.: Angelina's comment on release of 7th Heaven: Angelina commented, “Life has ups and downs, and you always have to be ready for whatever is coming up. The song is a reminder to look at everything in a positive light and not get down on yourself. Most importantly-no matter what you’re doing-don’t give up. It’s also meant to make you dance,” she smiles.Stay tuned for the premiere of the “7th Heaven” music video soon!
I can't wait to see the music video.
Way to go Wolf!!!
Yes, that at "sound of the diamond point in the groove of an old vinyl disc" just perfectly in the mood and you do what all of us do:
listen again and again. 😋
It's amazing how she captures the sense of music, the sense of words, the sense of the soul and gives them back in such a deep way: awesome! 🥰
The comment of soundofdakota suits her perfectly: "The talent of this Girl is Freaking insane!" 🤩
I can't wait to see the official music video of this.
I picture it with men with top hats long tail tux and cain's with Angelina in the for front with a crowd snapping there fingers to the beat.
But just to much talking at the beginning I came close of leaving hey but it's Angelina
Great Reaction Stay Safe ❤️
AJ and only AJ can give us such a joy , thanks for the reaction
Maybe many people approach her with expectations that her life is blissful, which of course can't meet their expectations, and is heavy for her to work with and not disappoint them
big thumbs up to you, yes totally agree to give the artist the first views !!! Respect the artist ...... it is not so difficult as you just shown us . Thanks Wolf
You are welcome and thank you for showing the love of this beautiful artist.
Pure Angelina. She mixed jazz, blues and pop in this song and created her very own genre. I’m going to call it, the Angelina affect. I so love her voice.
7th Heaven ultimate bliss,the place where God resides.Remember she wrote in her book about a ladder and light filling her heart?That's a mystical experience and I suspect as AJ does with everything that she learned something to help guide her life.That feeling must have been powerful and blissful,but also very elusive as such experiences tend to be.As brilliant as she is she no doubt knows that purity of heart,hope,and living in the eternal present are keys.
Great reaction Wolf, liked it! Angelina is the queen of music and because of that I have to say: Everybody on your knees! The Queen is entering the room!🤣😁😂
This song makes you wanting MORE🎉
Someone in a chat at another reactor site I was just on mentioned that an Italian Music/Media influencer just posted to his 16 million followers that they should give a listen to this track of Angelina Jordan's. If the story is true, that's the kind of promotion this song deserves...and more.
Angelina lives up to her name, as she is indeed angelic when she sings. She’s fifteen and has the unusual gift of communicating her feelings in her music. She’s growing in every way. I think she is singing about herself. She has so much to live up to not only for herself, but for all of the people who love her, and she sometimes is overwhelmed with the awesome responsibility. Her lyrics express what I’m trying to say way better than I can. Honestly, I get chills every time I hear her sing. I hope I live long enough to watch her continue on to her 7th heaven journey. I’m so grateful for her. She is a blessing.
Wolf Rock thanks for your very nice reaction with reading the lyrics to this inspiring song by Angelina.
The Barefoot Angel opened the gate to the 7th Heaven and took us with her inside to a wonderful and a worry free world.
Angelina, the following poem by Rumi the great Persian poet, mystic, and Sufi was written about you centuries ago: “O heart, I cannot explain you, you are what you are. But I know this much that now you are tearing apart the curtain of the heavens like the sun.”
She lost both her grandfather's. I think she pulls a lot of sadness from those experiences. I hate funerals! So sad!🤧 Great Reaction!!! 🇺🇸👍💥🔥
Great reaction Wolf!! Angelina has brought jazz and soul into the 21st Century. I LOVE her music more than I can express.
Great reaction. I don't think anyone saw this coming, but wow.... You ask about 7th Heaven - I think back to the interview on Skavlan when she was 12 years old, two things:
1. When you sing you don't sound like a 12yr old, do you feel like a 12 yr old? - Only when I look at my passport. - In this song she wants to look in the mirror and feel able to love the 15 yr old looking back at her.
2.When I see you on stage, who do you feel you become? - When I sing I go to another world, it's endless, full of happiness. - In this song this could be the endless bliss of 7th Heaven...
Your opening comments are why you're a favorite subscriber channel. I'm sorry that RUclips elects not to numerically link our views of your reaction and her videos as numeric counts for her videos. That's what happens - I'm watching her video each time I watch reactors' views. With your 2nd play-thru's, I was thinking not of contemporary singers but turning the tables: "Which '30s, 40's, 50's and '60s singers could I hear doing this?" Roger Miller... Nat King Cole... Ray Charles. Those are the 'modern' ones... but Ginger Rogers, Lauren Bacall, Etta James absolutely, yes, too.
Thank you so much. I love my family of wolf pack on this channel. They are wonderful, love you all.
And Peggy Lee. Listen to her classical Fever fr 1959 and you'll understand...ruclips.net/video/JGb5IweiYG8/видео.html
@@visionblow Absolutely... thanks for the link. I hope FEVER gets tens of thousands of hits now, as well.
Really liked it, thanks.
AJ is going to be BIG!
Super great reaction. I believe it's the ultimate reward of heaven. Angelina co wrote the song and the melody. Angelina IS the Queen of Jazz/Pop/Soul.: )
Your opinion concerning the respect that is due to the artist being more important than the quick superior number of views that a diligent reactor can gain by reacting as soon as a new song is posted or released is based on an elegant and generous spirit of discernment and wisdom that honors you, Wolf Rock.
I would add that your practice of reading the lyrics before listening twice to the musical part of the song shows that your reactions are always the result of a clear understanding of the value of the performance and of the merits of the artist.
The new single of Angelina, although way too short, is a stunning piece of jazz with which Angelina is very familiar since it bears the exact color, tempo, energy, vibration and frequency of the music that reigns in her.
In my opinion, it is partly on that fertile ground of bluesy soulful cool jazz that she should continue for awhile to distinguish herself from other vocalists, to excel in her individual field and to prosper.
I subscribe entirely to your views and analysis.
I wish you 30K subs by the middle of April.
I was so glad to see that Angelina is staying true to her roots. I love her soul/jazz voice. We are blessed to have her in this lifetime. My prayer is that many would appreciated the artist that she is. Can you believe she is only 15.
Very nice of you Wolf!
@@wolfrock2270 Back when Angelina was eight years old, after one of her performances on NGT, Mia Gunderson told Angelina she had a unique style and "You must protect your style." I think Angelina listened to her.
Angelina combines the classic with the modern. Angelina takes the different styles of music (jazz, blouse, R&B etc.) and makes her own, unmistakable ANGELINA STYLE. The fact that 7th Heaven clearly bears Angelina's signature is indisputable and shows again that the producers of Stargate give Angelina every freedom to make music according to Angelina's ideas. Angelina wrote this song with two Norwegian co-writers Mikkel Storleer Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen, the founders of Stargate, the hit makers and GRAMMY® AWARD winners (4 awards and around 14 nominations). ✌️😷💯 *AJ* 💯👣
You’re right nobody out there like Angelina, she’s truly unique, can’t get enough of her voice!
7th heaven I think is a very happy place. A place where you can get lost and feel all good things😍
Wonderful reaction! Good that you gave attention to the lyrics! Feels like you are proud of her!!! I know I am! :-)
Chills all the way through!
I believe that the 7th heaven is the desire for perfect happiness. This expectation can be heavy on the shoulders. Some are bitter that others are apparently in 7th heaven, but not themselves. To achieve perfect happiness - you must love yourself first. Then the 7th heaven is easier to achieve. Let go of all the expectations of the world - your 7th heaven may already be present.
As she said life is live with hope I m so happy that she reminds us in this stressful world now. She is my angel everyday. God bless her. I agree with your reactions which is always full of positive vibe like the song. Love her 💗
Always the bezt cover of any song..Angelina you're amazingly incredible..i always get hypnotized while listening to your beautiful musíc..luv this girl..Godbless ..stay grounded in God's protection...
Someone said AJ has started in new gender of music Jazzy pop. Love it. I am so happy that she loves to sing. I one of her passions.
This great grandma has lost count of how many times she has listened to 7th Heaven. Thanks Wolf Rock, I love the lyrics, the composition, the instrumental background and the fact that I can get up and move to Angelina's latest HIT ♥
If you listen to her read her Diary about why she doesn't wear shoes when she performs, ruclips.net/video/-cCLDY0CSZ8/видео.html, after she gave her shoes to the other little girl she says her heart opened up and was filled with light, as if there was from Earth to Heaven a staircase, she climbed up the stairs and felt, to be able to do something for another human was such a big thing, it was hard to describe. She wrote this when she was six. Look at the Cover in front of you, discover the meaning of the color of the roses, and is that "threatening" cactus an Aloe Vera? Just like in her songs , she does these things deliberately. It's impossible to imagine being in her shoes, she doesn't wear any. 7th Heaven on her shoulders falls heavy. She has my utmost respect and love.
Well said sir! Respect.
Nice reaction as allways.
I wonder if the 7th heaven that falls hard on her shoulders is the burden of fame. Everyone expect that she must allready be in that heaven of happiness since she is so successfull and talented. But she is just a girl with dreams and hopes like the rest of us and must fight for it without loosing her self.. Just a thaught..😉
great point.
I think the 7th Heaven reference is to Angie's goal which I believe she now knows is inevitable. She has also referenced the knowledge of the weight of the responsibility that comes with such power. She now knows that her GIFT is not without consequence. Her every action is scrutinized. With all the love and support we give her it is really only her family that keeps her from feeling alone. Being so gifted and special has a price and I most certainly hope to help her deal with it.
7th Heaven in Islam (her grandmother, Mery, is Iranian and I believe she was raised with strong Islamic influences.) Attaining "7th Heaven" may indeed weigh heavy on the shoulders of our Angelina in meeting the spiritual criteria while she is exposed to the fame and successes of today. She is doing great and her barefoot commitment is a reflection of that goodness in her spirit (my 2 cents)
Awesome reaction, I loved every little bit of it. Great that you’re back to Angelina reactions ❤️❤️😃
Thank you for your very insightful reaction.
I’ve read many of the comments on the original video and many reaction videos. I’m surprised no one mentioned the aloe leaves in her photo. The aloe plant has healing properties and is used medicinally to fight infections.
I think this is subtle but intelligent signal from Angelina offering to heal our souls with her music especially in these crazy times that our world is experiencing.
Thanks again and keep up the good work.
about the aloe.... you make sharp point there sir.
I did not think about that, but that makes perfect sense. Thank you
Several people have commented about Aloe....but the only aloes (and there are many) are much more fleshy in my experience. In my yard here in S California are Saguaro, which are a dead match for the photo...solid spike at the tip, cupped shape to allow dew or fog or (rarely) rain to run to the root center. And enough hooks along both side to deter inquiring tongues....
Once is never enough with Angelina. I have listened to this on a loop all day. Another masterpiece from a master of the vocal art.
A fantastic performance by Angelina was a great song and your reaction was great too. Thanks
❤️ your reaction and Angelina’s new song 👍🙂
What do you mean, you can't explain exactly??? OF COURSE YOU DID!! You want to get up and DANCE!!🕺And by the way, you are one of only 2 reactors out of 30plus that caught and commented on the vinyl scratch at the end!!💯💯 Great reaction, can't wait to hear the rest of your analysis!!
I'm on Spotify, RUclips Music, and Apple Music and like/follow Angelina on all of them. 0 notifications of a new song. Disappointed to say the least that I had to wait a few days to find out about this song. Found out about Dimash's new song only by direct search too. Just goes to show, you have to keep an eye on their channels directly regardless of the platform. As for the song, it's definitely one to groove to. Quite fun sounding for such serious lyrics, but then again, having fun is one of the best ways of releasing the stresses of life, so it works quite well together.
Thanks for a great review. She created a new genre. Jazz/soul/pop.
Well first I really love your reactions as a Christian 7th Heaven is the highest point in heaven where God is and his angels it represents pure happiness,joy hope, pure love and Angelina takes me there every time she sings
Excellent as usual!! Thank you.
AJ fans..takes one to know one. And they’re everywhere!
Hi Olly, so happy to see your reaction to Angelina's amazingly wonderful new release. Thank you for ALWAYS being so thoughtful, kind, and insightful when reacting to our Angelina. My 2 cents, is that Angelina continues to take us along with her on her lifes journey. I think of her song What is Life, where I believe she was in 7th Heaven (pure bliss), sitting at the piano, creating paintings like her grandma, feeding birds with her little sister, life was beautiful. She was singing about her life at the time. Then fast forward, it would be interesting to know when she wrote this, pre AGT or post AGT. Quite a bit has happened in her life since then. The passing of her grandfather. AGT, signing with a major record label, everything put on hold (pandemic), wow that's a lot! 7th Heaven on my shoulder falls heavy. That's my 2 cents Olly, looking forward to what your take is. The one thing for certain is that her music continues to bring joy to the hearts of many. What Is Life, the good and the bad. 7th Heaven, life should be lived with hope.
Continue to stay classic, stay well and stay safe. 😊
The man is back 🤘 Nice to see you back again on the train Ollie, I knew you would love this one. Really nice to hear what a respect you have for the artist when you wait with your reaction. It might be smart as well, you wont drown in the ones that is in a hurry. "I den syvende himmel", Norwegian for "in the 7th Heaven", it is about the ultimate happiness, like when you are newly in love, or your first child.
That is a fact, you can't hurry a perfect song like this.
This song & this artist, contribute to Heaven on Earth.

I know this is the third time I have commented but you are very correct it's like old jazz brought into modern light and I love this song it is a finger snapping head bopping get you up dancing kind of song
That is so true. I have listen to it again and again. Jazz is back baby..lol
There is no money in it for the music moguls. She just might turn that around. I like tat part too. Where she sings up over an incoming line. I also like how she lifts the notes on hope. It is a place of highest closeness to God. It is a difficult space to get to. But all our efforts should be towards that. This is a seemingly simple song until you listen to it. People are going to be talking about this song awhile.
Great reaction Wolf.
Have you heard the latest from Daneliya? She did a cover of 'Take Me To Church' that is pretty tight. Did I mention she is getting more beautiful every day? Well she is. All our little girls are becoming young lady's, and beautiful ones at that.
Yesssss
"Seventh heaven on my shoulder falls heavy" I think it is about the responsibility we have on our shoulders to be happy and thankful for what we have. So specially because all we have been living lately, it might be easy to give up on our dreams. She is giving us the advise to never loose hope and keep following our dreams.
Great reaction, Wolf. And, I think you really got it. After all, happiness is a choice. And 7th Heaven is a state of bliss. How do you get there? It's really simple...but, sometimes very hard.
I agree that jazz is kind of in the back ground. But I think Angelina is, and has been, bringing it to the forground. I don't think it will really matter in the end what style of music she writes and records of her own. I just want to listen to her sing. What a trip it's been so far. Has any other artist ever done three versions of the same song, as in "Million Miles". I found that amazing.
Life is full of bitterness, keep hope alive, follow your moral code, and you can love yourself, let go of sadness, it hinders keeping hope alive
pure jazz
