SammySofieSteffy me too. Knew the song from the 70s but she scales it back with emotion and purity. I love New Amsterdam. I love the characters and cried during probably every episode, especially this last one.
I remember singing this to myself, over & over, as a teenager living in a family filled with substance, physical and emotional abuse. When I was locked in my room, sometimes for days; music and reading were my escapes. I also promised myself that I would bring up my children differently, with love. I did, and today, my grown children bring me hope for our future.
elaineg60 I lived the same kind of life. Had it not been for books and music, both which transported me away from the pain, I’m 99% sure that I wouldn’t be typing this right now. I’m so glad that you made it through the difficult times, Elaine. Praying that you have many, many beautiful days ahead of you.♥️
I congratulate you, you are a person who despite your circumstance decided to go further, life for some is difficult, however the difference is the determination with which you live.
When I was 15 and pregnant I dedicated this song to my daughter Rachel who was not yet born yet. She is now 41 and this has always been "our special song". I love you Rachel.
I am glad to hear he's doing better... and I'm honored that I could play a small part in his healing. He's lucky to have a mom who is there for him and his mental health. Happy new year to you.
This song is so appropriate for the troubled times we’re living in right now. Sending love and peace to all who are reading this and praying that you all stay healthy. ♥️
The new series "New Amsterdam" brought me to this song. I cannot point my finger on it but my goodness this song speaks to my soul on so many levels. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for sharing your amazing voice with all of us.
My dad passed away from Covid last year November. I sing myself this song whenever I'm missing him knowing he set me up with the best education and job to know everything is going to be alright.
This song means so much to me. I have been thru child abuse, rape, and so much more. We all have a story to tell and we all have something that makes us take a deep breath and well just exhale. This is a beautiful song and has been done very well. Be stong and look up, the world has new things to offer everyday!
I was an original fan of the Five Stairsteps' version of this song, back in 1970. I heard it briefly again, years later, in connection with the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and appreciated the return of an old friend. But tonight I heard it yet again in a new version on the New Amsterdam TV show. The lyrics seemed to me to be so much clearer and more meaningful than ever before. This singer is a masterful interpreter of song. On Thanksgiving Day, I am thankful for this recording.
Wow that means the world to know I get to be a part of your courageous journey. I have so much respect for you on your journey of sobriety. Sending love.
Get it out there, dont let darkness hide push evil under the spotlight where everyone can see it. You did a good thing for the world with the courage you got. Roar my brothers and sister 🦁 🗣🗣🗣
Last night, I closed the blinds, turned off the lights, laid down, put this on and cried. I’m too old to be a “child” but I don’t feel grown up. I just want to be okay and happy...
I listened to this when I had postpartum depression and when my child was tiny I would rock and sing this to her it means so much to me at the time I was in a domestic relationship my merical was the only thing that gave me hope for brighter days
Yesterday I stood in a circle of people in a kids yoga training. We held each other, swayed and cried to this song. We can make the world better for our young people. I know we can. Thank you.
Since two days gone, I had my last tears in my eyes! But now.............you broke that short era! One of my favourite songs out of QUILLS MOMS TAPE for the GUARDIANS! Amazonazing!
The original by the Five Stairsteps can never be equaled, but your rendition is very well done! Good job! In these times in this world this song is all the more powerful and important.
This song is from one of my favorite movies Over the Edge. Every time I hear it I think of when I was younger and my family and friends. Even a cover like this transports me back. So thanks for the ride.
I use to imagine my mom singing this to me when she was on a drinking binge now I sing it to my beautiful girl when life seems a bit overwhelming for the both of us
I started crying as soon this song came on New Amsterdam! Love shows that present me new good songs to listen to! Doing a presentation on Mental Health Awareness, def using this song at the end of my presentation!
I'm a dancer and at my dance studio one of the dances is to this song, it's a very beautiful dance and the song makes it even more beautiful. Sometimes the judges cry while watching the dance
still a simply amazing talent of her time, part Carole King, part Nina Simone, part Roberta Flack, blesses everything she touches with her gifts in an effortless timeless way no one else comes near doing today; truly a 60s grandchild pointing toward the star of our better future;
listening to this song makes me melt through & through. i have a 6 month old son & i feel like this is what i will sing to him when he stumbles upon his own real life issues no matter how old he gets!
Heard this on the P&G commercial which preceded "The Last Jedi" and it made me sob in my seat. It packed more emotional punch than the whole movie it ran before. So beautiful, so optimistic.
Stressed to the max after potentially deadly crash with my 92yo mom and a car cut in front of us then hit us on Christmas. Mom suffering horrible pain with chest crushed 8 fractures, my car totaled and now insurance saying fault can't be determined. New Amsterdam is the perfect series. I knew listening to this song would help me let go of some stress, cried all through it.
New Amsterdam's latest episode sent me here. Her voice had me choking up in the last episode
SammySofieSteffy me too. Knew the song from the 70s but she scales it back with emotion and purity.
I love New Amsterdam. I love the characters and cried during probably every episode, especially this last one.

I congratulate you, you are a person who despite your circumstance decided to go further, life for some is difficult, however the difference is the determination with which you live.
Music and books were my escape to!
When I was 15 and pregnant I dedicated this song to my daughter Rachel who was not yet born yet. She is now 41 and this has always been "our special song". I love you Rachel.
Your story chokes me up!
Amazing
So beautiful I’m
In tears bless you and your daughter , I knew my daughter before she came too I think I dreamed her into life 💜
What a beautiful story
AWESOME.
I’d play this for my son when he was going through bad depression. He is doing so well now.
I am glad to hear he's doing better... and I'm honored that I could play a small part in his healing. He's lucky to have a mom who is there for him and his mental health. Happy new year to you.
For a man who suffers with clinical depression, severe anxiety and PTSD this beautiful voice with inspirational lyrics just gives you hope ❤️
Go listen to the original by the 5 stairsteps
It appears I’m not the only one who first heard this song on New Amsterdam. I can’t listen to this song and not think about that show now 🙏🏼
New Amsterdam brought me here!
Me too😊
Me too😂
2024 me
My mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer I heard her listening to this and it broke my heart ❤️
This song is so appropriate for the troubled times we’re living in right now. Sending love and peace to all who are reading this and praying that you all stay healthy. ♥️
Sending love to you, too, Donna. Thanks for dropping by. :)
Thank you 😢❤
So back in the 70s we may have seen it as a rebellious tune kicking the system in the ass, the war, etc. But happy innocent times were alive actually.
The new series "New Amsterdam" brought me to this song. I cannot point my finger on it but my goodness this song speaks to my soul on so many levels. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for sharing your amazing voice with all of us.
The program Amsterdam brought me here. Always loved this song. Love the way she sings💟 Awesome ✌ Thank you 👍

I play this version whenever I question my sobriety. I know for a fact this song truly helped 1250 days later.

Originally done by The Five Stairsteps early 70s An absolute CLASSIC!

In Jesus’ name
My soul is leaking.... My eyes are watery and I'm wondering how the hell I stumbled upon this gorgeous beauty. I'm beyond weak....
Madison Cee Mom's spaghetti....sorry.
Her eyes are watery, knees weak, arms are heavy
Her soul is leaking already, mom's spaghetti
karissa nikolopoulos you're my fucking hero
Wow. Go find the original version (Black American) on you tube.
@@ccstewart38 This is very chill... The original is Great also !!!
I listened to this when I had postpartum depression and when my child was tiny I would rock and sing this to her it means so much to me at the time I was in a domestic relationship my merical was the only thing that gave me hope for brighter days
She puts such a different twist on it. I love it. The original is so upbeat. This is a little more laid back.
This is a beautiful version of this song; I find it comforting and feel calm every time I listen to it.
Thanks for listening, Pamela. Much love to you!
Hats for to MILCK. She’s doing wonderful things in the world as well as melting our hearts with her amazing voice. Can’t wait to hear and see more.
How can any one not like this??

Agreed. Superb original that I LOVE. There is so much music created by black artists that continues to inspire us. Thank you for listening.
This is how this song is meant to be performed.
This song is from one of my favorite movies Over the Edge. Every time I hear it I think of when I was younger and my family and friends. Even a cover like this transports me back. So thanks for the ride.
Cried the whole time. Definitely a song for now.
Damn head phones don’t go any louder

Commercials bringing back the oldies but goodies. My era, the best. Great voice and rendition.
Tv Commercial Got Me Searching This Song ........ I Love It
Makes me think of all the hardships me and my family struggled through, and how we always power through. Hits home
Love is a beautiful balance
Someday. A Gen X's prayer for the future.
I love how her voice is so smooth and how the song has such a powerful message ✨
So I see this song means so much to everyone. That is so awesome❤
Heard this on TV last night.. caught my attention immediately.. beautiful song
Love the Five Stairsteps as this is their song but this young lady does a beautiful rendition.
If this song was sped up by 10bpm… it drags. But your voice is absolutely divine
still a simply amazing talent of her time, part Carole King, part Nina Simone, part Roberta Flack, blesses everything she touches with her gifts in an effortless timeless way no one else comes near doing today;
truly a 60s grandchild pointing toward the star of our better future;
Means the world to me. Thank you for seeing me. :)
@@MILCKmusic don't need eyes for that, but if you EVER tour, even near me...
Makes you appreciate the original harmonies of the Stairsteps. Badly sung with the beautiful simplicity of the melody spoiled.
I just imagine this song playing and my mama holding me and my friends mamas holding them and I have a warm feeling
New Amsterdam S01 E08 brought me here... Such a beautiful song💕
I've discovered your channel it after seeing the P&G ad - now I'm feeling more blessed :) thank you!
