Underrated by who? She has over 1 million subscribers on RUclips, she's had multiple features with some of the biggest names in music and all I've heard/ read is rave reviews of her. She really is an amazing talent. I primarily listen to rap and she has tracks with eminem and lil wayne(2 of my all time favorite artists) that I listen to mainly because of her.
Rusty Cramer she’s definitely slept on. Her album didn’t chart like it should’ve, even though it was amazing. People honestly slept on “imported” until 6lack jumped on it. I messed with her waaay before she got big. She’s definitely has made it far and I’m very happy with the progress. Just wish she was bigger because she possess so much talent. She still got time tho.
But really you're asking for people who don't seek out good music to find her. I don't want those people to find her. Let them stick to what's "popular" and leave the good shit to us.
“Go to school and get a good job, just to work your life away and pay your debts. And even those who live their dreams out, cry cause all that glitters isn’t what you expect.” Finally someone says it.
RIGHT!!! I've had this shitty day because of shitty people acting good and this song has made me feel so good that at least one person with money has a good heart.

Jessie Reyez is one of the most lyrically soul-grasping and heart to mouth artists of this generation. Her ability to tackle even the deepest darkest philosophical ideas with ease and a beautiful melody just shows how she is truly a one of the kind music artist that can resonate with pain you didn’t even know you had. Beautiful voice, melodies, lyrics, and person inside and out. I love u jessie!!! U are one of one🤍🤍🤍

She’s super nice in person, I met her a couple years back and it was great! Saw her do soundcheck as well and she was super shy ! It was the cutest thing ever. I didn’t expect her to be so shy lol
This was detrimental to the stage that we’re in right now. Everybody gotta sit with themselves and it got crime, suicide, drug abuse all going up. This self-reflecting art will make a difference. You’re making a difference.
This is so touching, sadly it is the life a lot of us live afraid to chase our dreams... We need to manifest our dreams more, so we don't live such an unhappy life.
stanning JESSIE REYEZ isn’t just a hobby. it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world filled with thieves. It’s art, the first gift you open on xmas, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted, everything you need.
I love how she’s never afraid to say whatever she wants and speak the truth no matter the “consequences”. She’s such an amazing role model🥺💯and ok I’m gonna stop now before I cry😂😁
I never comment on any social media platforms but my goodness this song legit brought me to tears 🥺👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼she spoke to depths of me that I couldn’t even verbalize before now and I’m sure she has touched on many things that many of us are going through during these tumultuous times. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️10/10 love her and all of her music, can’t wait to see her live after it’s safe again ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. I'm actually tearing up rn cuz I really dont know who I am when no ones in the room because all I know is what people want me to be.
All we are is echoes of the pieces that define our facial features, skin tones, cultures, beliefs, and so on. They existed before we did is the weird part. I like to tell people that if this is true, that would mean you don’t just have a purpose because you exist, you were eminent and bound to happen because you already did before you do. Don’t worry about everything everyone says about you, which words were you called that resonated with you? Be like that or become like that.
It's crazy how just before this song was released I've been having this exact conversation over and over in my head. Yet again, Jessie has released another song that just describes my feelings, thoughts and mental/spiritual disposition. Wow. Wow. Wow. Love it. As well as every song you've ever made. Thank you for gracing my ears and heart with your sound malady!
Saw this music video in an ad and the first lyric hit me hard and all the rest after. Didn’t skip the ad because the message was too powerful 😭, thank you Jessie for being so brave to put everything out there. The hate comments you get also really got me, I hope they don’t get you down!
I'm a month sober and this song makes me believe in you more and 51 days no alcohol you helped me stop feeling horrible about having to make.new.friends.and.change my life I love you Jessie
This really hits home for me. I’m a single mom to three hyper kid’s, and I have zero idea who I am anymore now. It wasn’t my choice to be a single mom. It just happened this way.
"Who am I when no one's in the room?" Easily one of the best lines I've ever heard in any song ever. Not to mention the rest of the song. Jesus H Christ what a treasure.
The concepts in her songs and music videos blow my mind every time🤦🏽♀️💯. It’s just amazing and so reallllll. Omg it’s not any of that fake crap that is in most music videos. I live for her genuineness in everything she does and that’s gonna keep me coming back everytime💯💝💝💝
As someone who doesn't even believe in God this is probably one of my favorite songs by you. Don't listen to the idiots who get mad that you put God in your music. That's a part of you and so is your music, never stop being you!!

@@arhdone I didn't miss it. All I did was copy and paste it from genius and that part isn't there so what can I do cause I have no idea what she is saying
Because people don't read video descriptions but we read the comments section. The lyrics for this song is there. This is not shade. I feel you are doing a service for the people that don't bother. Peace and light
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt you right! I didn’t even think to click the description bc usually artists don’t bother to put the lyrics there. I’ve given up on the description tab😅
Her voice is so beautiful. I don't think I heard a artist with such a unique voice since Amy Winehouse. Jessie is something we won't come over that often in music. Keep up the great work. Not many can bring out emotions like Jessie Reyez through their music.
My goodness, this artist is so incredible and introspective. I love how she tackles the hard stuff instead of just singing about her body; other "bitches," and all that nonsense.
When the song started it began to rain down around me. And as it ended, there was nothing left but an intense feeling of peace, and the rain. That you Jessie ❤️. You are a blessing on this Earth.
This is freaking art! The saddest part of this song is that it ends. I admire her voice so much, it sucks that she is still underrated. Love you Jessie !!!
Jessie Reyez is one of the smartest and most profound lyricist in the entire music industry. Every single line she sings carries so much weight and makes you think. A true auteur and master of her craft.
This music video and song premise makes so much more sense to me now, because my dad went to Catholic school and was telling me stories that fit the narrative of this music video. It’s wild
This song maybe hits me different because the journey to finding out I was trans was so long. I realized it at 31 & I had so many of these questions. Now here I stand, 3yrs on hormone replacement therapy, being authentically me and I'm happier because the happiness is complete because I found the missing piece of my life's puzzle. It's not always easy because of my own insecurities but I'm a good person with a heart of gold and my mission is to spread self-love.
I'm really saddened by this because people separate themselves from God because of being hurt by other people. And being judged. But human beings are imperfect they the Preachers, the teachers fall short as well because they are human too. They are human like you. Don't put them on a pedastal because when they fail you'll get hurt. Put God on that pedestal because truthfully no-one can stand upon it. I really pray you find your way back to us. We love you. Jesus loves you. But we ain't perfect either only he is. Please forgive us if we've hurt you.
@@RJWM1999 it wasnt from being hurt that i left. When i was in it i accepted the being hurt as my own failing and didnt blame those around me for it at all. I "abandoned" god only because of all the contradictions i was finding and logical failings in my understanding of the world. I held on to the belief until i logically was unable to come to the conclusion that the christian god could exist anymore. In fact, the goal of my search was to prove his existence (even if only for myself because then i could choose the straight side of my bisexuality and live with it for the sake of pleasing god cause i had loved him and wanted nothing more than to serve him) but everything only came up with more and more problems, questions, and failings. If someone is able to give convincing evidence that god exists id believe it and depending on the god and its moral character i may even bow down but that would take a lot of things changing that show me there is not a loving god out there on a purely logical level. Also dont speak for christians as a whole because you have no idea if all christians love me and would welcome me. Secondly, while i see what kindness you intend in saying you love me, in truth you do not. Youve never met me and never been there to support me. Love is being there, truly seeing another person and reflecting back the good things and helping them grow past the painful or bad things. You havent done that for me so please dont call it love. It cheapens the whole concept. Finally, i know it may have been unclear in my original comment but this song saddens me because it reminds me of realizations ive had about my past now that i am out of it. Please dont be sad that i have successfully escaped sadness and abuses and can now truly know and learn to love myself which i was entirely kept from doing when i was Christian - ms. Lauda
@ you dont know what i am going through. How would you? Also just look up the no true Scotsman fallacy and youll see why i stated such a thing. Plus it assumes that Id be safe in returning to just any church out there and the fact is i sure as hell wouldnt be. I didnt leave this comment to have people tell me to come back to god lol i left this comment because this song reminded me of many of the thoughts i had while in religion and struggling with leaving it and that it is only outside of the abuses of religion was i able to find myself, love myself and see that i should be proud of myself for all the dark shit I've gotten myself through. Yes I suffer but so does everyone and now I at least i realize that suffering doesnt reflect badly on me because "im just not trusting god enough". I dont need or want to go back so just stop -ms lauda

Lauda 69. Your right. I don’t know what your going through. And your right again. You more than likely wouldn’t be safe returning to any old church. Your wrong, however, on the part for people not to bring you back to god. Any Christian that sees this comment would instantly want to bring you back. You may not want to come back to the church but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t come back. I understand that you have had bad experiences with “religion” but your making the assumption that all churches are like that. Most churches are full of amazing, loving people. You should never be proud of bad things you do. It is only the secular world that teaches that “dark sh!t” is something to be proud of. I agree that suffering isn’t a reflection of your connection with god. That just isn’t true. From personal experience I know. Someone close to me had a beautiful relationship with god and got cancer. They suffered a lot before they passed away. Everyone needs god whether they accept him or not. I hope that eventually you will accept him.
@@lauda6945 @Lauda 69 I mean the whe point of me saying I love you is because if I was in your life, I would be there for you. In fact even through the net right now I can be there for you if you want. I don't say I love you without meaning it. In fact thats the problem we have in the world we live in today is that people only love people that are close to them or the classic love people who love me. But that's why there's so many problems in thr world and lack of empathy. In fact I believe its more powerful for me to love you without knowing you because it shows that I love you irregardless of any good of bad qualities you have. And yes I love you. You might not think so. But I genuinely would sacrifice my time for you. And so would so many others. And yes I can speak for all Christians, because true Christians follow the teachings of Jesus. And Jesus said the two most important things, commandments are love the Lord your God and love each other. Jesus says love your enemies, pray for those who hate you. And look i know you may not think I'm sincere but genuinely I'm here for you. And that's why I commented. I'm here to serve. Hope I didn't type too much loolll. This is something I'm really passionate about because, I myself grew in confidence and got out of my dark place through finding God and being in community with people who genuinely love me and love God. And I know how powerfil it can be to have people like this in your life. So I will always try to be this person and if people wish for me to be in their lives ima be there, if not its all love.
Read the Bible pray to God meaning talk to him about everything even when you don't feel worthy of it God will respond to you in people's actions . Look closer you will be shock God is really real. It's never to late and God will be there no matter what God will make sure your never alone you gotta communicate with God
This touched my heart beyond words. When the bible verse came up during the song (John 8:7) the tears began to flow! Thank u Jessie for putting out truly wonderful music! Ur talented and amazingly gifted! With all my heart Thank you!
I've loved your music for so long, since 2016, and I can confidently say you've never released a song that I didn't like! This video was amazing and I'm so glad I get to live in a time when I can watch you grow and create art that I just KNOW I'll love, you're truly an angel 💛💛💛
Jessie, I cried on the first listen. The way you put our thoughts on paper in the form of a song, that is so beautifully articulated, is beyond me. This song touched me deeply. Thank you for releasing this (and all the others) in a time like today. We need you. We need change. And the more we can continue to help one another understand each other, the better. Your song is universally understood. 🙏❤ thank you for this beautiful piece.

Keep doing you because you are more than enough
I love you! 💕
You're always blowing my mind.
It’s pisses me off how underrated she is. She’s literally an amazing artist. This song is flawless
She's one of the top artist with dvsn, and drake. She hasnt been underrated since her YT covers, pre-discovery.
I promise you bro...I fucking love her music...and I normally only listen to rap music
Underrated by who? She has over 1 million subscribers on RUclips, she's had multiple features with some of the biggest names in music and all I've heard/ read is rave reviews of her. She really is an amazing talent. I primarily listen to rap and she has tracks with eminem and lil wayne(2 of my all time favorite artists) that I listen to mainly because of her.
Rusty Cramer she’s definitely slept on. Her album didn’t chart like it should’ve, even though it was amazing. People honestly slept on “imported” until 6lack jumped on it. I messed with her waaay before she got big. She’s definitely has made it far and I’m very happy with the progress. Just wish she was bigger because she possess so much talent. She still got time tho.

She is criminally underrated. Art. Music. Passion. And Uniqueness
Although she is the song writer of big big songs that are sang by big artists its so unfair
Facts.
maybe two years ago when you said this lol, but I just went to her show and it was INSANE and sold out
This woman has never released a bad song. She amazes me every time

I'm a crying child deep down waiting for a light to shine and lead me down my next path....
[Verse 1]
I'd go to church every Sunday
But teenage love still took my virgin skin
And the night after my first time I cried, 'cause I
Thought Heaven wouldn't let me in
Meanwhile the priest has got a boyfriend
And lots of teachers smoke weed after school
When you're young, they try to keep you in the cages but
Most of them don't follow their own rules
[Pre-Chorus]
Spend your whole life being graded
Being told you're not enough
Being told go find the one and sit and wait for death to come
But I don't wanna
I need to talk to God, there's things I just don't understand
[Chorus]
Like who am I when no one's in the room?
Who am I when no one's in the room?
Does the voice in my head, that talks me off the ledge, belong to me?
Or does it come from the clouds?
Who am I when no one's in the room? (Hmm)
[Verse 2]
Go to school and get a good job
Just to work your life away and pay your debts
And even those who live their dreams out
Cry 'cause all that glitters ain't what you expect
Sometimes I don't want to sing no more
Slit my throat and take my music back from evil men
They can put my body in the ocean
So I can die wearin' a smile and maybe find peace again
[Pre-Chorus]
Spend my whole life being graded
Being told I'm not enough
Being told go find the one and sit and wait for death to come
But I don't wanna
I need to talk to God, there's things I just don't understand
[Chorus]
Like who am I when no one's in the room?
Who am I when no one's in the room?
Does the voice in my head, that talks me off the ledge, belong to me?
Or does it come from the clouds?
Who am I when no one's in the room? (Hmm)
Vices only pacify for the moment
Vices that were made to hold our pain (Hmmm)
Vices only pacify for the moment
Vices that they made to hold our pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Spend your whole life being graded
Being told you're not enough
Being told go find the one and sit and wait for death to come
But I don't wanna
I need to talk to God, there's things I just don't understand
[Chorus]
Like who am I when no one's in the room?
Who am I when no one's in the room?
Does the voice in my head, that talks me off the ledge, belong to me?
Or does it come from the clouds?
Who am I when no one's in the room?
[Outro]
Who am I when no one's in the room?
You missed the part about vices. It’s right before she says the chorus for the last time
@@arhdone I didn't miss it. All I did was copy and paste it from genius and that part isn't there so what can I do cause I have no idea what she is saying
@@arhdone its there?
Because people don't read video descriptions but we read the comments section. The lyrics for this song is there. This is not shade. I feel you are doing a service for the people that don't bother. Peace and light
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt you right! I didn’t even think to click the description bc usually artists don’t bother to put the lyrics there. I’ve given up on the description tab😅
This song is a human and psychology theories explained with magic and simple but deep words. Eres un mundo saliendo del mundo
Her voice is so beautiful. I don't think I heard a artist with such a unique voice since Amy Winehouse. Jessie is something we won't come over that often in music. Keep up the great work. Not many can bring out emotions like Jessie Reyez through their music.
My goodness, this artist is so incredible and introspective. I love how she tackles the hard stuff instead of just singing about her body; other "bitches," and all that nonsense.
Oh my god, beginning the song with John 8:7, I’m already in love ❤
Her visuals for this album are so cinematic, she's in a league of her own.
When the song started it began to rain down around me. And as it ended, there was nothing left but an intense feeling of peace, and the rain. That you Jessie ❤️. You are a blessing on this Earth.
Jessie doesn't just understand the assignment, she embodies the assignment ❤
she is something diffrent🎶🎶
I- .. sobbed watching this. Her pen, her concepts... they're soul wrenching and beautiful. Love herr
This is freaking art! The saddest part of this song is that it ends. I admire her voice so much, it sucks that she is still underrated. Love you Jessie !!!
Jessie can't do no wrong 🔥 it's a bit frustrating how underrated she is 😭
Jessie Reyez is one of the smartest and most profound lyricist in the entire music industry. Every single line she sings carries so much weight and makes you think. A true auteur and master of her craft.
She won MUSIC VIDEO OF THE YEAR AT THE JUNO AWARDS 2021 congratulations Jessie 🎉👏🏽
This music video and song premise makes so much more sense to me now, because my dad went to Catholic school and was telling me stories that fit the narrative of this music video. It’s wild
Jessie has so much depth to her soul, the emotion she gives through her music is so beautiful and poetic, shes truly one of a kind
This song maybe hits me different because the journey to finding out I was trans was so long. I realized it at 31 & I had so many of these questions. Now here I stand, 3yrs on hormone replacement therapy, being authentically me and I'm happier because the happiness is complete because I found the missing piece of my life's puzzle. It's not always easy because of my own insecurities but I'm a good person with a heart of gold and my mission is to spread self-love.
"When you're young they try to keep you in a cage but most of them dont follow their own rules" 👏👏👏👏 deep song, jessie your voice is amazing
It’s scary how real this song is
Something about her voice is so satisfying
As someone who used to be a Christian i feel this song in my deepest most broken places 😭 - ms lauda
I'm really saddened by this because people separate themselves from God because of being hurt by other people. And being judged. But human beings are imperfect they the Preachers, the teachers fall short as well because they are human too. They are human like you. Don't put them on a pedastal because when they fail you'll get hurt. Put God on that pedestal because truthfully no-one can stand upon it. I really pray you find your way back to us. We love you. Jesus loves you. But we ain't perfect either only he is. Please forgive us if we've hurt you.
@@RJWM1999 it wasnt from being hurt that i left. When i was in it i accepted the being hurt as my own failing and didnt blame those around me for it at all. I "abandoned" god only because of all the contradictions i was finding and logical failings in my understanding of the world. I held on to the belief until i logically was unable to come to the conclusion that the christian god could exist anymore. In fact, the goal of my search was to prove his existence (even if only for myself because then i could choose the straight side of my bisexuality and live with it for the sake of pleasing god cause i had loved him and wanted nothing more than to serve him) but everything only came up with more and more problems, questions, and failings. If someone is able to give convincing evidence that god exists id believe it and depending on the god and its moral character i may even bow down but that would take a lot of things changing that show me there is not a loving god out there on a purely logical level. Also dont speak for christians as a whole because you have no idea if all christians love me and would welcome me. Secondly, while i see what kindness you intend in saying you love me, in truth you do not. Youve never met me and never been there to support me. Love is being there, truly seeing another person and reflecting back the good things and helping them grow past the painful or bad things. You havent done that for me so please dont call it love. It cheapens the whole concept. Finally, i know it may have been unclear in my original comment but this song saddens me because it reminds me of realizations ive had about my past now that i am out of it. Please dont be sad that i have successfully escaped sadness and abuses and can now truly know and learn to love myself which i was entirely kept from doing when i was Christian - ms. Lauda
@ you dont know what i am going through. How would you? Also just look up the no true Scotsman fallacy and youll see why i stated such a thing. Plus it assumes that Id be safe in returning to just any church out there and the fact is i sure as hell wouldnt be. I didnt leave this comment to have people tell me to come back to god lol i left this comment because this song reminded me of many of the thoughts i had while in religion and struggling with leaving it and that it is only outside of the abuses of religion was i able to find myself, love myself and see that i should be proud of myself for all the dark shit I've gotten myself through. Yes I suffer but so does everyone and now I at least i realize that suffering doesnt reflect badly on me because "im just not trusting god enough". I dont need or want to go back so just stop -ms lauda
Lauda 69. Your right. I don’t know what your going through. And your right again. You more than likely wouldn’t be safe returning to any old church. Your wrong, however, on the part for people not to bring you back to god. Any Christian that sees this comment would instantly want to bring you back. You may not want to come back to the church but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t come back. I understand that you have had bad experiences with “religion” but your making the assumption that all churches are like that. Most churches are full of amazing, loving people. You should never be proud of bad things you do. It is only the secular world that teaches that “dark sh!t” is something to be proud of. I agree that suffering isn’t a reflection of your connection with god. That just isn’t true. From personal experience I know. Someone close to me had a beautiful relationship with god and got cancer. They suffered a lot before they passed away. Everyone needs god whether they accept him or not. I hope that eventually you will accept him.
@@lauda6945 @Lauda 69 I mean the whe point of me saying I love you is because if I was in your life, I would be there for you. In fact even through the net right now I can be there for you if you want. I don't say I love you without meaning it.
In fact thats the problem we have in the world we live in today is that people only love people that are close to them or the classic love people who love me.
But that's why there's so many problems in thr world and lack of empathy.
In fact I believe its more powerful for me to love you without knowing you because it shows that I love you irregardless of any good of bad qualities you have.
And yes I love you. You might not think so. But I genuinely would sacrifice my time for you. And so would so many others.
And yes I can speak for all Christians, because true Christians follow the teachings of Jesus. And Jesus said the two most important things, commandments are love the Lord your God and love each other.
Jesus says love your enemies, pray for those who hate you.
And look i know you may not think I'm sincere but genuinely I'm here for you. And that's why I commented.
I'm here to serve.
Hope I didn't type too much loolll. This is something I'm really passionate about because, I myself grew in confidence and got out of my dark place through finding God and being in community with people who genuinely love me and love God. And I know how powerfil it can be to have people like this in your life.
So I will always try to be this person and if people wish for me to be in their lives ima be there, if not its all love.
How can you NOT love her?? I've never been so addicted to a person.
Me after every song "wow I love this song".
No but seriously, this one is pretty relatable
The "who am I?" at 3:27 hits different. It makes me smile every time🥰🥺
Read the Bible pray to God meaning talk to him about everything even when you don't feel worthy of it God will respond to you in people's actions . Look closer you will be shock God is really real. It's never to late and God will be there no matter what God will make sure your never alone you gotta communicate with God
This is everything .... she’s real bro
Pretty sure this has become my favorite Jessie song. These lyrics are so beautiful.
This touched my heart beyond words. When the bible verse came up during the song (John 8:7) the tears began to flow! Thank u Jessie for putting out truly wonderful music! Ur talented and amazingly gifted! With all my heart Thank you!
I AM CRYIIIIING. Blessed af to be present on Earth & experience Gods gifts in infinite forms
You are perfection.
God doesn't care about street credit, he cares about the heart. If you hate anyone, you can't love anyone.
I've loved your music for so long, since 2016, and I can confidently say you've never released a song that I didn't like! This video was amazing and I'm so glad I get to live in a time when I can watch you grow and create art that I just KNOW I'll love, you're truly an angel 💛💛💛
Jessie, I cried on the first listen. The way you put our thoughts on paper in the form of a song, that is so beautifully articulated, is beyond me. This song touched me deeply. Thank you for releasing this (and all the others) in a time like today. We need you.
We need change. And the more we can continue to help one another understand each other, the better. Your song is universally understood. 🙏❤ thank you for this beautiful piece.
REYES I HAVE THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON YOU, saludos desde manhattan, nyc. YOU HAVE MORE TALENT THAN THE WHOLE INDUSTRY. KEEP WORKING!!
This song gets me so unexpectedly emotional. Guess it’s time to accept this transformation🔼
A metaphorical SLAP to everyone still sleeping.
Like to wake them up.
YOU ARE. AND FOREVER WILL BE. MY FAVE ❤️
This touched a part of my soul ❤🇯🇲
I just met her and I don't understand how I've lived without this woman my entire life
no one can sit here and say Jessie isn't the most amazing iconic human being to ever have been born. TE AMO!!!
“Sometimes I don't wanna sing no more...slit my throat, and take my music 🎶 back from evil men...”

God loves u. I love u and I hope u start your journey with God today if u have not already it will be hard but it will be worth it in the end. 🙏🏽❤️
For me, her voice is like the coffee. First time I heard her, I couldn’t listen the song till the end, but something pulled me back to listen to her again - and I was hooked. Now I can’t imagine some days without her voice&emotions❤️
