I've been going through a very hard time in life rn. I don’t even know how to open up anymore. But this song has always held my hand through it. It's tiring being tough all the time. So when I want to feel I come back here. Tonight after a REALLY long time I am going to pray to my God. If nothing I Don't want tp feel so wretched and alone. Thank you.
For me this is a spiritual hymn. So beautiful. I'm not a religious person, but I do find it filled with a positive spirit, from the singing, the lyrics, and the music. Just perfection. Thank you to everyone involved in the production.
Maybe this religion. I used to be Christian fundamentalist and after leaving a poisening god I can't say that I believe. But in these moments I do. Beyond words.
It really is one of the bests, although I recommend you to listen Ocean wide canyon deep from Jacob Collier, Laura performs there too. Prepare to cry like a baby
Not that they aren't all amazing on all the various keys (they are), but I thought it was particularly nice that they had Cory on the grand, Shaun on organ and Bill on moog. "Normally" I feel like it would be Bill on grand, Cory on organ and Shaun on the moog so it was cool to see them mix it up. Gave it some extra punch
I think I might be allergic to this song and performance. My eyes start to run and sometimes followed by chills... goosebumps. Usually the same moments... which narrows the cause of allergy reaction :)
I dedicate this song to all the Earthlings that suffer and die every day and night. Watch Earthlings full documentary and educate the children the next generation they need to know the truth. Watch COWSPIRACY sustainability secret full documentary make the connection. The planet needs us she's dying. Remember we reap what we sow
Who are you telling ... my allergy meds need to be upped or something, because my eyes are red and watery and I have a lump in my throat when I contemplate the lyrics to this song while listening to this perfect composition.
Gawd, between this and her new 80's version, I can't choose which is better. Testament to how great the song is, being able to wear so many different dresses without not being amazing.
Laura Mvula is a singular talent - a once in a generation talent - and I feel lucky to have lived on this earth while she was here - and of course Snarky Puppy - no equal.
I forgot everything. What I was thinking. What I was doing. And even after the song is over, I don't need anything. It's going to ring in my mind, as I sit here the beautiful in-between.
Beautiful arrangement of a beautiful song, by the beautiful and great Laura Mvula. This is fine musical dining. Laura Mvula is a very underrated singer/songwriter/composer/arranger. To my ears, she is beyond terrific. Well done Snarky Puppy, for recognizing Laura's genius and doing great justice to her song!
Holy cow...I thought I've heard music before. The Lingus key solo was the very first piece of music to bring tears to my eyes by shear perfection; this song made me cry with joy for the whole 6 minutes. Snarky Puppy, there are not enough thanks in existence I could give ya for everything you've done for the world!
This is my lullaby every night before I sleep. I suffer from insomnia a lot and I find it very relax listening to this specific version. Thank you Snarky Puppy for making this version of the song, appreciate GroundUp for not putting ANY ads on this. Appreciate it A LOT. BIG THANKS!!!
This is honestly the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my whole life....Idk how I missed this. I love Snarky Puppy! But this right here....This is a treasure
A special shout out to Shaun Martin on organ. So often in these videos taking what seems to be a supportive role, but is everyone here just a virtuoso.
O.M.G. I love Laura and I've heard her song so so many times, but this version is so so so much more than I expected. Snarky Puppy is ridiculousness!! This is so beautiful, I have tears in my eyes
It's such a satisfying build-and-release... the first chorus is gentle, as though the singer doesn't want to push the subject too hard before they're ready; the second adds a backup singer, feeling a bit more insistent, and a bit of extra instrumentation, but ultimately it's the same at its core. Then we get the solos - they wander with purpose, as though the broken soul is taking the singer's advice, following the path, picking themself up, learning to love things again... And then the last solo ends with that one note, the whole band building to the third chorus. Where the main counterpoint to the vocals had been a gentle keyboard before, it's now taken up by the trumpet section, giving this chorus a dramatic, climactic flair, and just building on that. It feels like such a victory lap when the third chorus repeats and the trumpets get a new melody to just emphasize the feeling even more, like a triple red underline
Oh man, at the 4 minute mark when they come out of those incredible keyboard solos and the vocals just SOAR, that is a PEAK experience in beautiful humanity
I’m glad I’m not the only one who low-key goes to church on this song, lol! 😄🙌🏾 But it’s true, not only is the music gorgeous, but the lyrics are poignant, evocative, and uplifting, to a level that verges on spiritual ministry. This song is a delight and a comfort on multiple levels.
at first I wanted to skip the song, then the chorus started.. since then till now, I've kept on singing this song.. I'm in love with you Laura... snarky puppy, you guys are just..... I love you guys. however you guys found yourselves, it was not a mistake. much respect guys.
I've been a fan of Laura Mvula for a while and Snarky Puppy for a few years. This song is one of my favorite songs from her. Snarky Puppy did not disappoint with their interpretation of her song. 2:25 onward was pure ecstasy. The keyboard solos...ugh. Eargasmic like none other.
OMG this is the closest thing to heaven in a song or music arrangement. my favorite part is 3:44 to 3:37 the compliment from the synth with the piano, I'm just wondering if that was planned or it just happened in that moment but this hole arrangement was crazy!!!!!! love it.
I wasn’t familiar with Laura before I attended the film screening, and this performance completely stopped me in my tracks. The best word I can use to describe it is “glorious”. Now, having listened to the earlier versions of this song, I appreciate the modifications Michael League made to it. I LOVE this entire album, but this song in particular left me so inspired!
+Mechum22 And I hope it’s not too attention-whorish of me to say that this song inspired me to remix the well-known Christian hymn “How Great Thou Art”. Feel free to check it out on my channel! --> watch?v=xqTDMZh78R4
This song is amazing, I always sleep to a Plini playlist because it relaxes me and I woke up to this song in tears because I heard it while I was dreaming and it just was an amazing experience. Thank you.
I was doing my organic chemistry report while listening to Snarky Puppy and this song starts playing and suddenly I was move to tears, what a power in this women's voices, absolutely a masterpiece
This whole dvd is ridiculously amazing. I wish this type of artistry and musicianship got the recognition it deserves. Nothing but pure talent from everyone who participated in this project.
steely dan meets funkadelic and mccoy tyner at a mdma party.....yeees i needed that in a musical world thats dominated by helene fischer and britney....thx guys u gave me back some hope that i lost along the way....:-)
Snarky puppy does it again! Last year around this time I found Laura Mvula and this song in particular. Got me through things I tell you. Thank you for your music talent and your talent to spot talent
Awesome keyboardist and organist. But what i love most is the dramatic nature post-interlude with the instruments, Mvula’s vocals, and amazing horns. Have loved this mix for many years now. Much love and respect Ms. Mvula, and brilliant to collab with Snarky Puppy.
Such beauty, impeccable musicianship, imagination, color and dimension. Laura Mvula is such a unique artist. This collaboration is inspired. They were all on a very special wave length together, holding that groove throughout. I'm so happy that people are making uplifting, wonderful music, and that I chanced upon this performance.
Damn, X brought me to something amazing

Just found it. Wow!
Mvula's original is better than this
Damn, when the solos end and the band comes together... Tears swelled up in my eyes! I found out about Snarky Puppy yesterday and couldn't be happier!
It's been two years since this comment, and I hope you found more from them. I can't wait for a new Family Dinner.
I also just found Snarky Puppy yesterday 🥳 and I'm hooked
Same 🙌🏽
I found out about Snarky Puppy yesterday as well and I can't get enough of them :-)
I noticed my eyes were watery at the end of this, too
I'm completely obsessed with this song ... one of the most moving performances I've heard in years.
This may be the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my life. Thank you to everybody involved in this. Wow.
It really is one of the bests, although I recommend you to listen Ocean wide canyon deep from Jacob Collier, Laura performs there too. Prepare to cry like a baby
Bill, Cory, Shaun, Justin. It's like they're one mind. Those solos really flowed one after another.
Really great
Not that they aren't all amazing on all the various keys (they are), but I thought it was particularly nice that they had Cory on the grand, Shaun on organ and Bill on moog. "Normally" I feel like it would be Bill on grand, Cory on organ and Shaun on the moog so it was cool to see them mix it up. Gave it some extra punch
*no intended slight to Justin who always slays on the moog
I love looking at everyone in the room enjoying the shit out of this stellar performance.
Nice letters.
Cant stop listening. Can’t stop crying.
RIP X🖤🙏
I always listen to this song when im going my dark times in my life.... 2020 has not been easy
If it's any consolation, there are many of us that are struggling right now. Those of us that do survive it may come out stronger on the other side. 💜
Same. She did a whole album with an orchestra (including this song) and I always come back to it for comfort and warmth ... stay safe out there
Chin up. Focus on positivity even in hard times. You control your mindset. Don't forget to smile.
Larnell at 4:35 is probably the best summary of this song as a whole.
jesus fucking christ, I'm crying.
I'm with tears. What the hell is happening?! What the hell is this music?!
+Yuri Vilas Boas I AGREE. THIS IS SURREAL!
i got the same..
Next time you wipe your ass don't forget to report it here as well.
and to think some people moan about the fact that music in the 21st century is crap and not as good as previous decades, ha ha ha! this stunning!!!
Yuri, my first thought was "How can he love this music and not God?" But then I realized you do, but He's still working on you. (and me.)
I think I might be allergic to this song and performance. My eyes start to run and sometimes followed by chills... goosebumps. Usually the same moments... which narrows the cause of allergy reaction :)

Ahhh...can be.. I have similar reactions. :-)
yes alert the CDC... it's spreading

Who are you telling ... my allergy meds need to be upped or something, because my eyes are red and watery and I have a lump in my throat when I contemplate the lyrics to this song while listening to this perfect composition.
Me too! Especially at the key solos... omg!
Probably my favorite song from the album.
i know what you mean, but there are so many superb tracks...A truly superb album..Snarky are probably the most under rated band in existence.
Gawd, between this and her new 80's version, I can't choose which is better. Testament to how great the song is, being able to wear so many different dresses without not being amazing.
Laura Mvula is a singular talent - a once in a generation talent - and I feel lucky to have lived on this earth while she was here - and of course Snarky Puppy - no equal.
Laura's vocals are so hauntingly beautiful, hands down my favorite song on the album.
Lauras Gesture at 4.30 looks like her emotions exploding from the inside and she has to get all of that energy out. At this point i cant hold myself
I forgot everything.
What I was thinking.
What I was doing.
And even after the song is over,
I don't need anything.
It's going to ring in my mind,
as I sit here the beautiful in-between.
heard this a bunch through speakers and thought "eyy, that's pretty good", then put on some quality headphones, and started crying.
Beautiful arrangement of a beautiful song, by the beautiful and great Laura Mvula. This is fine musical dining. Laura Mvula is a very underrated singer/songwriter/composer/arranger. To my ears, she is beyond terrific. Well done Snarky Puppy, for recognizing Laura's genius and doing great justice to her song!
oh my goodness when the trumpets start kicking in after the piano soloists gosh pls God take me
This song is beyond incredible.
It's like it's more than music.
Holy cow...I thought I've heard music before. The Lingus key solo was the very first piece of music to bring tears to my eyes by shear perfection; this song made me cry with joy for the whole 6 minutes. Snarky Puppy, there are not enough thanks in existence I could give ya for everything you've done for the world!
Couldnt agree more.
It's really difficult for me to listen to this song without breaking into tears. good selection, SP
Vice City brought me here....beautiful...
This is my lullaby every night before I sleep. I suffer from insomnia a lot and I find it very relax listening to this specific version. Thank you Snarky Puppy for making this version of the song, appreciate GroundUp for not putting ANY ads on this. Appreciate it A LOT. BIG THANKS!!!
I love that she gets so happy after the key solos and everything opens up and the brass and bass and drums and she feels it.
This is honestly the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my whole life....Idk how I missed this. I love Snarky Puppy! But this right here....This is a treasure

A special shout out to Shaun Martin on organ. So often in these videos taking what seems to be a supportive role, but is everyone here just a virtuoso.
This song tears me up. So beautiful. Fav song on her album. ❤️
This has to be one of my most favorite songs snarky puppy covered. The depth of the words are so beautiful.
listening to this song always makes me cryyyyyyyyy it’s so hauntingly beautiful
O.M.G. I love Laura and I've heard her song so so many times, but this version is so so so much more than I expected. Snarky Puppy is ridiculousness!! This is so beautiful, I have tears in my eyes
In the name of the Art: Thank you for making this masterpiece.
I shattered in a thousand pieces... thx Laura, thx Puppy...
Hello to everyone, who’s enjoying this song in 2019🌟💕💫⏯
Here I am! :) Hello!
Hey there you
sup from 2020 things are terrible here! but this song is still good.
2021 now life still mad
I discovered a few days ago, but I run several times a week. Beautiful played and sung! The song also speaks in 2021!
It's such a satisfying build-and-release... the first chorus is gentle, as though the singer doesn't want to push the subject too hard before they're ready; the second adds a backup singer, feeling a bit more insistent, and a bit of extra instrumentation, but ultimately it's the same at its core.

It feels like such a victory lap when the third chorus repeats and the trumpets get a new melody to just emphasize the feeling even more, like a triple red underline
This song saw me through difficult times.
Her voice - no frills, just a pure heart felt tone that cuts into your soul. And the keyboards are sublime
Perfectly stated. Couldn’t agree more. Absolutely beautiful.
I don't know if I have ever been moved by a song as much as this one. I have no words for how beautiful I think this is.
Would have never found Laura Mvula had it not been for this great band.
5:10 this part and the solo section moved my spirit. Wow. Simply beautiful ❤️
This is classic Snarky Puppy. The vocals of Laura Mvula as so buttery. This is comparable to any of the vocal performances on Family Dinner Pt 1.
I love Michelle Willis voice
ruclips.net/video/g6B-bGGMaF0/видео.html
have been listening since 2016 and that 1:40 note never fails to give me chills
Oh man, at the 4 minute mark when they come out of those incredible keyboard solos and the vocals just SOAR, that is a PEAK experience in beautiful humanity
If you know what I know...you would drink from this well if spiritual upliftment. This is so ethereal...like never before.
What a beautiful, uplifting, Jesus filled message....The instruments are vibrating with my soul! The lyrics are felt deep within my spirit!!!!!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who low-key goes to church on this song, lol! 😄🙌🏾 But it’s true, not only is the music gorgeous, but the lyrics are poignant, evocative, and uplifting, to a level that verges on spiritual ministry. This song is a delight and a comfort on multiple levels.
This has nothing to do with Jesus. This is about looking forward, not 2000 years backwards
Still don’t understand why she’s not bigger than she is!!! This video should be at least 50M+
at first I wanted to skip the song, then the chorus started.. since then till now, I've kept on singing this song.. I'm in love with you Laura... snarky puppy, you guys are just..... I love you guys. however you guys found yourselves, it was not a mistake. much respect guys.
Just suddenly found myself in musical heaven.
gettin' all four keyboard players in on that solo! absolutely love it
+Delta1382 and both drummers!

RIP XXX
you truly changed a minimum of 5 million peoples lives
that call and response between Laurva Mvula and Michelle Willis with the backing vocals supplying the harmony at the end is just gorgeous!
This song carries so much power behind every note played. Therapeutic.
I've been a fan of Laura Mvula for a while and Snarky Puppy for a few years. This song is one of my favorite songs from her. Snarky Puppy did not disappoint with their interpretation of her song. 2:25 onward was pure ecstasy. The keyboard solos...ugh. Eargasmic like none other.
Yes
this connects with the last 35 years of my life like few songs have. Thank you for writing and performing this.
I've become addicted to this song. Her voice is beautiful.
Ecstasy...its like...its like... loosing your mind and finding your soul...
Ma - Afrika Kekana Yes you dont even know what to do with yourself after that
OMG this is the closest thing to heaven in a song or music arrangement. my favorite part is 3:44 to 3:37 the compliment from the synth with the piano, I'm just wondering if that was planned or it just happened in that moment but this hole arrangement was crazy!!!!!! love it.

Where it all started "X"
i think that's the most beautiful sequence of keyboard solos i've heard from these guys, and that's saying something
I was doing my organic chemistry report while listening to Snarky Puppy and this song starts playing and suddenly I was move to tears, what a power in this women's voices, absolutely a masterpiece
Goosebumps engaged
The lockdown song that keeps me going.
This whole dvd is ridiculously amazing. I wish this type of artistry and musicianship got the recognition it deserves. Nothing but pure talent from everyone who participated in this project.
What a perfect dynamic, damn ninjas peeling onions.. I love this song and the way they're involved while playing it. Perfection.
It is suuuuuper rare these days that I both love and am transofmed by a song on a first listen. What an experience. Thank you so much.
The keyboards solos was beyond the definition of beautiful, it brought tear to my eyes
This is an absolutely beautifully tragic song. Breaks my heart and healed it at the same time.
I'm so grateful for this one. Took me to a better place..

To me the moon represents my intuition. The light that shines the way in the dark.
It gave me goosebumps... Excellent! i call this MUSIC!
+Yves Léonce KOUASSI me too! endless chills
The feels are so real in this one!
I think this is my favourite track off the album, beautiful.
I love how comments section always boosts your feelings towards the music more
Something about good music bringing good people. And since this is the best music, it brings the...
So glad this video is back up! I was freaked out when it disappeared for a couple weeks! This song/video will always be so precious to me.
One of the best melodies I've ever heard.
There's so much outstanding musicianship in that room, that it's almost scary. But fortunately, I don't tend to get scared very easily :-)
Best track on album. The Moog melody, the Soli, everything. Definitely best track.
Snarky puppy does it again! Last year around this time I found Laura Mvula and this song in particular. Got me through things I tell you. Thank you for your music talent and your talent to spot talent
Unbelievable!!!! This SONG is from the Heavens
Definitely one of the best ones on the album!
That;s so fantastic that I'm thrilled to the extent of not being able to control my tears here,t ears of pure enjoyment.
This Beautiful and Positive Life affirming Song just stops me in my tracks every time I hear it!🌞👍🏿
Oh my goodness am I alive right now? This must be heaven.
well just DAMN....I thought the studio version was good, then I saw THIS!!! LAURA,LAURA!!
Awesome keyboardist and organist. But what i love most is the dramatic nature post-interlude with the instruments, Mvula’s vocals, and amazing horns. Have loved this mix for many years now. Much love and respect Ms. Mvula, and brilliant to collab with Snarky Puppy.
This entire set of live performances makes me weep from its beauty
Such beauty, impeccable musicianship, imagination, color and dimension. Laura Mvula is such a unique artist. This collaboration is inspired. They were all on a very special wave length together, holding that groove throughout. I'm so happy that people are making uplifting, wonderful music, and that I chanced upon this performance.
Shes so gorgeous. And to match that with an angelic voice.. goodness gracious 😍
