Being in a toxic, abusive family ever since I was born up until the age of 15, I never really wanted to live. Even as a young kid. I'd say things that most children would never say about their own life. But my grandma showed me bobby mcferrin as a lullaby song and he's always calmed me down. Everytime I got mad or sad at something, I'd always hum the melody of one particular song by him that I don't think I'll ever even hear again..it calmed me. Made me feel so much better. I'm now 15, living with my mom and her family. They're not toxic. They love me for me and that's all I've ever needed. And to bobby mcferrin? Thank you so much for getting me through the hardest year I think I'll ever have. You are a blessing to this world and we all love you so so so much. Thank you...😇🙏
I'm sorry you grew up in that environment, but I'm glad you're in a better situation now! I feel the same way about all of Bobby McFerrin's music. When I was really young, I remember hearing a lullaby-like song by him that calmed me down too. Maybe it's the same one you're thinking of. For some lucky reason, I remembered the name, which is "Common Threads." Even if it isn't the song you're thinking of, I think you'll love it if you love his music.
I was just thinking about my really traumatic childhood and my cousin said I would always sing Bobby Mcferrin’s songs. I would always tell everyone “don’t worry be happy” He was so major in my childhood. I appreciate him so much
I remember listening to Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" as a kid, then I stumbled across more of his music. This is art. It's soulful and chill. This man is a genius.
He sure is! Have you watched the vid with him scatting Spain with Chic Corea? That just blows my mind! If you are not familiar with the song Spain, compare it to Al Jarreau singing it... then listen to McFerrin scat it...Unbelievable! This man is music!
My son studied with him and the Voicestra at Omega Institute. I think he would say that it was life-changing. What a beautiful musician, inside and out.
I'm so digging this. From jazz to classical, to every genre in between, I believe him to be the most uniquely skilled vocalist of this generation. A true musician...
Love this whole record. Also I was husking once and he came up too me and gave me $20 bill once and walked away without saying a world. Big fan forever.
There are some musicians that simply transcend so far beyond the shoddy scene of what is considered "talent" today that there is no comparison. Bobby McFerrin is one of those. To me, he understands -truly understands - the power of music from the soul. He needs no autotune, no ridiculous levels of boosted equalization, nor any other garbage effects employed by the latest pop tarts for profit. And this is coming from an old hard-rocking Metalhead. :)
This guy has always been in a class all by himself. No one is a greater vocalist than Bobby. The sounds he makes, his vocal range, his creativity, he goes where no one has thought to go with vocal arrangements and style. He is the only person I've ever heard of that can sing two notes and harmonize with himself........enough said.
@@Elixear you know the sing day Bobby McFerrin performed in. I want every song name on the pertcuilar video and the language he sang. If you you know please inform me
Hey, hey, say Ladeo Time for taking words away The melody will tell the story As we go along Riding a wave of a thousand stories Starlit journeys of morning glories Where your long lost dreams are suddenly awake Summoning a prayer, didn't even know was there Say Ladeo A song becomes a thousand songs Hey, hey, say Ladeo Time we took the words away We're getting to somewhere closer That's hidden inside Words only take you so far and leave you Wondering just what it was you meant to Say what you would say if your heart led the way Take away the words, letting all the sounds just play Say Ladeo A song becomes a thousand songs And each and every heart Brings life and times and rhymes along All the dreams you never knew were there Sound and feeling, melody and prayer Say Ladeo Words only take you so far and leave you Wondering what it was you meant to Say what you would, say what you would Say if you could let your heart just lead the way Say Ladeo A song becomes a thousand songs A prayer becomes a song So sing out loud or whisper low
Mr. McFerrin, I love you! This is just like I always imagined God dancing and playing the worlds and starry universe into being! May you be blessed! as you have blessed us all.
Bobby do you even KNOW how much I love you? I just really really do. You are a genius and an ambassador from the angels to show us glory. I would really love to sing with you someday.
I heard this song last night after listening to "Don't Worry Be Happy". This song is THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Everything about it is just so chill and has the best vibes. Makes me instantly happy. Heard it at least 10 times now. Lol. Wow. Also the nature sounds in the back. Peaceful! ✌️❤️
I am a big fan of Bobby and also of Lisa Fischer...it's her voice that is floating around like a breeze in this song, there are many singers on the album "Vocabularies" where this song comes from; there are 55, fifty five!!, different singers on the 7 songs on the album. On this song "Ladeo" there is Bobby of course singing lead, but he also sings"soprano"; and then Lisa, that I hear more than the others, she sings "alto" and! "soprano" in this song; and Luciana Souza "alto"; and Roger Treece sings "alto" and "soprano" ; Kevin Osborne sings bass; Aubrey Johnson sings soprano; Bonnie Denise Christensen sings soprano, and Rosanna Eckert "soprano"; Alexandra Montano sings "alto" and "soprano"; Gayla Morgan sings "alto" and "soprano"; Kim Nazarian sings "alto" and "soprano"; Darmon Meader sings "tenor"; Licoln Briney "tenor" --- all together 13, thirteen! people on vocal. Here's a link to "Discogs" to check, but you can also check on Wikipedia for the album : www.discogs.com/release/5317535-Bobby-McFerrin-VOCAbuLarieS
Bought the album VOCAbuLarieS just for this song. Cant stop listening to it. So much going on. Love the female vocalist. Crisp, clean quality to their voices. Appreciate comments made here. Helps me understand the experience listening to Bobby.
I remember getting this album when I was in college, studying IT. I am a huge hiphop head and I was friend with the most metal dude you could imagine. I played this on my phone and he said this is the best thing ever. Thanks for the great memories, Bobby :D PS. You are one of the reasons I started to beatbox.
Легенда! Удивительный человек! Он не поет, а словно играет на музыкальном инструменте. Такой талант и дар не у каждого, кто сейчас считает себя певцом! Большую из них часть надо гнать со сцены пинками просто! Пусть будет немного таких, как Бобби, но слушатели будут действительно получать удовольствие от такой качественной элитной музыки!
Best song i've heard, ...in a great long while! Only in my first 30 minutes of listening to this masterpiece. I can hardly wait to hear the extended version! Absolutely..."Yapah!!!❤"
I have been a B McF fan since "Spontaneous Inventions" was released, and I recently had the opportunity to see him at the Disney Theater in L A. He is always experimenting with sound in music, and there is a wide variety of styles over the years. My favorite is "Vocabularies" which is just spectacular.
I adore this piece of music, it takes me away from myself, my fears, worries and negative thoughts. It is in turn bewildering, beautiful and sonically gorgeous. So unique, so utterly wonderful. I wish there more like him but I’m incredibly grateful that in a world of fakery true talent exists. What a treat for the senses 🤗
Mr. McFerrin is the greatest musician ever live and shape our music history. This song makes me feel happy but sad at the same time. Happy to see everybody enjoys music but sadly I never find this kinda beauty tones in today's music.

Make a video where you hum it - and Ill help you find it, if you want to find it!
Songs like this remind me of the vastness of God - so many beautiful sounds extracted from a few notes - bravo bobby

he is timeless, knows no borders, knows his limits as a human being, knows his gift
Blake Geometrio Music embodied. He is artist. 👍🏽
yep. A Genius.
This guy calms the pain inside
He's like a soul chef; feeds our soul.
mmmh, i'm feeding me
it's really good this lunch
( ;
That‘s actually what I felt too.
Indeed, he does wonders and miracles through his music! Cheers and namaste! :)
My son studied with him and the Voicestra at Omega Institute. I think he would say that it was life-changing. What a beautiful musician, inside and out.
I'm so digging this. From jazz to classical, to every genre in between, I believe him to be the most uniquely skilled vocalist of this generation. A true musician...
His heir has recently been revealed in the form of Jacob Collier
Tim Stanton checked him out. very nice
Bobby McFerrin has always been from another world, what gems his works are.
You're not too bad yourself! I enjoy your videos and I just found Bobby McFerrin so I am still forming an opinion, but so far I think he's great!
@@chrismatice9213 (>
You are very right indeed! I was fortunate enough to attend one of his concerts in Aalborg, Denmark and he was amazing!
dance

and His voice

Happy birthday, Bobby!
Absolute living legend! Thank you so much for all the beautiful music you have gifted the universe!❤
The beginning is the best part of the song
Probably my favorite Bobby McFerrin song
Thank you!
His music is clear as crystal water. Long live Bobby McFerrin!
He’s not dead
If there was a song that could transport you to heaven. This would be it.
Love this whole record. Also I was husking once and he came up too me and gave me $20 bill once and walked away without saying a world. Big fan forever.
Such a pure clean musical mind and voice! Such beauty…
why arent these tracks aired more.......this world-peace music right here
Haha what a beautiful concept. Perfectly put
My soul is crying out with joy. Thank you for such a beautiful song

Bobby McFerrin is on Fire!
I knew who he was as a kid but now after so many years, I finally understand, this man is beyond any of us. I’m so grateful to listen to his art!
It took me 32 years to find this amazing human ❤
Hey Bobby in the beautiful video you remind me of God creating the universe and at the end you rest.
Fine observation!
Actually Bobby is the best artist of the world. A genius.

Hey, hey, say Ladeo
Time for taking words away
The melody will tell the story
As we go along
Riding a wave of a thousand stories
Starlit journeys of morning glories
Where your long lost dreams are suddenly awake
Summoning a prayer, didn't even know was there
Say Ladeo
A song becomes a thousand songs
Hey, hey, say Ladeo
Time we took the words away
We're getting to somewhere closer
That's hidden inside
Words only take you so far and leave you
Wondering just what it was you meant to
Say what you would say if your heart led the way
Take away the words, letting all the sounds just play
Say Ladeo
A song becomes a thousand songs
And each and every heart
Brings life and times and rhymes along
All the dreams you never knew were there
Sound and feeling, melody and prayer
Say Ladeo
Words only take you so far and leave you
Wondering what it was you meant to
Say what you would, say what you would
Say if you could let your heart just lead the way
Say Ladeo
A song becomes a thousand songs
A prayer becomes a song
So sing out loud or whisper low
Thanks for taking the time
What an incredible message and piece of art. Thanks for writing it
The Creator of all things is infinite dimensions. Black man and woman arise and continue to procreate. Love this video. Love this man!
Im 12 and this song means world to me since I was 7
I remember when I was in kindergarten (age 5) my dad used to play this in the car I'm still listening to it at 15
Adrian that’s so sweet I feel you on another level
Mr. McFerrin, I love you! This is just like I always imagined God dancing and playing the worlds and starry universe into being! May you be blessed! as you have blessed us all.
Yes! Exactly what I was seeing myself! I believe it's not far from the truth!❤
Gosh how pretty
This is the most chill comment section in history
McNugget Butts yes this music is incredible 😋
And so does the music
Its the music
It has that effect.
I burst into tears of joy!! This is beautiful.
Myself as well brother!!!! This is indeed a Spiritual experience listening to this masterpiece!!

One of my favourites songs.
Beautiful music that will forever stay.

how can you not love this man ?
He never frickin changed. THIS WAS 10 YEARS AGO!
it's a crime that this video doesn't have at least a million views.
2021 needs his vibe 💯💯
How would one even begin to conceptualize a piece as vivid as this, let alone execute it as beautifully as it has been?
I heard this song last night after listening to "Don't Worry Be Happy". This song is THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Everything about it is just so chill and has the best vibes. Makes me instantly happy. Heard it at least 10 times now. Lol. Wow. Also the nature sounds in the back. Peaceful! ✌️❤️
Btw. This is for sure needed during this Strange world we live in currently. 2020 needs to chill.
Wow same here never this before

No one comes close to this guy is a master of harmonies vocalist...only al jarreau and him by far the greatest vocalists 🙏
Saw them live together at Expo 2000
I just feel so great inside every time I listen to this. Thank you.

What a touching and magnificent musical video! This Bobby is extraordianary.
This song is the definition of music. REAL music. The type that reaches down to your soul & literally speaks to it. Thankful for this blessing.
I didn' t know there was so much beauty and that I would be lucky enough to hear it! Thank you.
