My father once told me about agape love. In his introduction and explanation of agape as an idea and practice of true unconditional love, he mentioned a very commonly held misconception. This misconception resided in the “why,” the fundamental reasoning for the presence of love itself. In its frequent justification, “I love you” would precede, “because of…” which would often precede a list of conditions, sometimes physical, sometimes emotional, intellectual, etc. Despite the endearing nature of any of these conditions, they all nonetheless, revealed the love that they described as conditional. They were reminiscent of either previous, present, or predicted future conditions of the relationships. My father proposed that agape, or unconditional love be based on one’s ever changing self, and the unwavering partnering of that, to that same self-manifested as another. “I love you not because of you, but because of “I,” I love you because “I am,” my father corrected. He then went on to advise that if I approached love as an inward process first, there-by deepening a love “myself,” to a love of “self”, and then approached the love of another through that understanding, those processes, whether kindly, romantic, or platonic, would be stronger and have more longevity.
The clarity in my father’s ponderings on self-love, drove me to name this song, inspired by them, Lavender. Though the song sonically emits lavender, it was the etymology and history of the word lavender that resonated with me and solidified the songs name. Lavender, a name for a flower as well as a color, potentially, comes from Latin “lavare", to wash, reflecting the plants historic usage as an aromatic agent in washing fabrics.
My father’s thoughts on self-love returned to me many years later in moments when I needed to withdraw from the commotion and cloudiness of relationships built on seeking love externally. In my withdrawal and cultivation of self-love, I felt clear and cleansed. I felt washed.

My wife and I used this as our wedding song, one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and now I will always be reminded of my vowels to her!
:') so much love to you both!

His music has saved my life so many times ...."time and time again"
"10,000 hours" is the amount of time it takes to master something. I love this guy...
Loved his music since I heard him on Madden '17
Me too man. Jambo introduced me into the whole Kamauu realm
Bro this is crazy because that’s how I heard of Kamauu and I’ve been hooked ever since. His new album is awesome.
Just found this artist today. I haven’t wanted to listen to music in months. Sounds like living again. Thank you.

All the people listening to this before these songs get famous know real music
Shawn Dennis 💯
Meeeee
Rhita Nattah Bennani you know what's good 🙌🏻
WOO HOO haha
Or maybe regardless of when someone "discovers" something, it does not make them any "less than". This way of thinking is obnoxious. Don't be that guy.
Kamau, you never fail to consistently give us music straight from the heart. This is the music that will stand the test of time. Shoutout to everyone who listens to Kamau, real music
Who else get chills listening to this song 😩🥰
Major chills
🙋🏽♂️
Me 😭😭😭💯sounds new every time
I get swept away. 🕺
Every time 😩❤️
My fiancé and I are getting married on Dec 13, 2020 after 7 years of back and forth fighting for this relationship and to keep our family whole.
This is our song.
Always has been and we can’t wait to dance to it.
We praise Jesus for music like this.
Prophetic and timeless. 🔥🎶
Beautiful ✨
That's Wright 😢
i could swear I've solely given this still video a thousand views. His voice resonates within the soul, and the message it carries can pierce through even the toughest of hearts. I've only become a fan recently, but I can honestly say, Kamauu, you are my favorite artist, hands down. Thank you for this song, and I look forward to any and all future projects
This is real music
And the movie still is such an artistic interpretation of this vivid sound
The little girl is so precious and makes this all the more special
Facts 🙌
Everyone's facial expressions and body language feels untouched and therefore priceless 🤙
That little girl is so precious ❤ love the color and song
Reading the post of all you beautiful people - fills my heart...so blessed to know you Brother Kamau - you are freaking awesome...
Your son is an angel!
This has been my favorite song from the moment I first listened to it. It's so well put together, so well crafted, and honestly a creation of some of the best emotions and sounds a song can hold. Props to you Kamau, and I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!
Such a beautifully written, sung and orchestrated song. Smells like lavender 🍃 tastes like mint tea 🍵and feels like soft summer rain💙💙💙 You know a song is great when you enjoy it when dad and when happy.
One of the most inspirational and beautiful songs of all time in my opinion. This songs makes me cry, smile, and feel strong at the same time
'God Friended Me' brought me here in the first place.. The show keeps surprising me with the choices of tunes they pick.
It's a nICe song...
@Bianca Zoey you are here too late.. the show has been cancelled already...😔
Kamau ft Chance The Rapper and Noname Gypsy would be a masterpiece of the century
The old chance tho
This is my favorite song on this album. It brings me to tear every time I listen to it. I absolutely have fallen in love with this song
I've listened to this song 5 times in row, it's absolutely unreal, moving, timeless ;) !! Kamau you're gunna be B-I-G very soon Bro, Well done!
It’s ~20 now😂👌🏾
Same thing happened to me! Especially after reading the little excerpt.
honestly tho, that Dad's laugh was the best part of the entire "Moving Still" concept lol
Sooo I'm currently crying and listening on repeat. Humble is my heart.
There goes my love
Five hundred minutes
Til I get home
There goes my love
Love when you're in it
And I'm not alone (yeah)
There goes my love
There ain't no limit
To holding on (mmm)
There goes my love
We gon' make it
Ten thousand hours
Yeah (mmm)
[Chorus]
Time and time again
I'm tired
You're timeless
Baby
Time and time again
I'm tired
You're timeless
Ten thousand hours
[Verse 2]
There goes
We could be, we could be
There goes the future here
There goes the present
Oh what a presence now
We don't even [?]
No matter what
I love you very much
You love me very much
I love you very much
No matter what
I give you my life
No matter what you do
Cos I bow to you
You are the one
The best of me I could never be
The recipe for the better me
And give a new love
[Chorus]
Time and time again
I'm tired
You're timeless
Baby
Time and time again
I'm tired
You're timeless
Ten thousand hours
[Verse 3]
World that's so good
But there's no love that's so strong
Still, still, still
So easy to love you very much
Even in the rush
When everything is rushed
You slow breathing in the mist of pain
Shows me how to embrace it
And love it all the same
My love
[Chorus]
Time and time again
I'm tired
You're timeless
Baby
Time and time again
I'm tired
You're timeless
Ten thousand hours
I think those couple lines in verse two are "your slow breathing in the mist of pain shows me how to embrace it and love it all the same". You can hear it more clearly in his acoustic performance of it with No Wyld's guitarist, Joe Pascoe and I think he talks about it in that interview with Daily News about that performance! From all the other recordings of him performing this (one other at Tufts Uni), I can't make out exactly what that verse two line is, but it might be "You don't even trade (or train/trace/trail?)".
Also, thank you so much for doing this!!
@Maddie Baldwin In the acoustic version it sounded like he said "You don't even train".
I believe he says "We don't even stray"
Not all Superheroes wear capes!
He’s sayin try omg you guys listen
Wow, reading KAMAU's description of the song brought tears to my eyes. I love this song so much and the description resonates with me so much. So much respect!!
Where is his description of it I really wanna know the meaning behind it 😊
Ever since ive found u youve been my favorite artist. your unique style is amazing
To all the people saying they kinda like him as a secret? Pff no way, this man must be heard. I'm blown away. - sincerely, a new fan
It took me 3 years to find this, I’m so glad my ears are blessed
It's to the point where I just like the video before I even watch it. I will see you one day KAMAU, mark my fuckin words. Much love from England
Listening to it brings back memories where the relationships I were in had a sense of joy, where both were able to be proud that we had each other, where we didn't want anything else besides each other.
My fav track on this project...everything is beautiful about it. The energy, the vocals, the production...
Man, Kamau, every song/interpretation you've released that I've heard has been absolutely mind blowing. Now this album I can't stop replaying over and over... Absolutely fantastic!!
Your conversation with your father reminisce of my conversation with my father. You surmised it so well that I can visualize my father saying it to me. Respect.
.... Okay, can't believe i'm only hearing this now, I'm a fan now. Salute all the way from South Africa
SALUTE TO THE KING & QUEEN for letting the PRINCESS be in her
PURE ELEMENT‼️
💕THIS💋
This is such an amazing concept for a video. Goosebumps every time I hear that beautiful falsetto.
If the song itself doesn’t echo into every part of your heart, the description certainly will. The two together, the intention flowing into the output are so completely pure. Powerfully humbling, cleansing and curiously inspiring.
Heard this on God Friended Me. Now I'm going through all of these great songs!!
Clifton Shepherd Me too. For some reason, this song really touches me.
@@michaelrobertson5532 Hits ya right in the soul brother.
Me too.🤩
You’re everything!! So happy your parents made you and you found courage to let your beautiful light shine♥️♥️♥️
Aye man just wanted to tell you that this song is absolutely my favorite song dude. This song made me realize how much love I have for my significant other
"It's so easy to love you very much, even in the rush, when everything is rushed..."
KAMAU, beautiful pieces of art. My mind and heart are captured and taken along for a walk throughout every one of your songs.
Total work of art, can never get over how this song just touches the soul. try listening with your eyes closed, magical
How does this not have 100M listeners. This is an incredible song from an incredible artist. Keep up the awesome work man.
i've been waiting for this album for a song like this. by far my favorite song. bless you brotherKamau
my wife and I walked back down the aisle to this after exchanging our vows
I CRY EVERYTIME THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I just can’t stop listening to all of his songs.
How is it possible that I'm crying reading the description/ his fathers explanation on agape love while listening to this song?!
If y'all wanna experience an intense emotional rollercoaster I suggest you do the same.👌👌💚 new favorite song for sure!
I just got chills from reading the note/explanation for the song. Read...then listen...
The little girl in the video is so cute and the couple just smiling:) It's so cute!
Nov '23 you still got me
the playful detail of the young child looping the adults and logo accompanied by quality vocals is perfection.
I could just imagine the powerful creative dance that will go with this song.
The latest episode of God Friended Me sent me here! I can’t stop listening!!!
Do you know what episode was this song in?
@@aayushhayaran3927 It's Season 2 Episode 13 "The Princess and The Hacker"
Watching this in 2023 realizing that Kamauu was doing visualizer before they popped off and became mainstream ❤
True ART. You painted the picture perfectly and the video was totally unique and told its only story as well. Protect the lovely energy that you can ever put on a canvas.
All of KAMAU'S songs are absolutely gorgeous! 💖💖
If your music came out 20-30 years ago, you'd already be a widely known but today real music and talent has become unpopular (somehow) and the masses taste for it has decreased (sadly). I'm glad there are still a few of us out here that love and appreciate great and authentic music. Glad artists like you haven't _all_ disappeared!
From 1:00 - 1:11, the Queen standin' on business!
Thank you Kamau and whoever helped make this! Beautiful music
I go into another world when I listen to this! Thanks for the getaway that u don't hand to pay for! Can we say this song is a Playlist in itself! #REPEAT 💜
Just beautiful. I saw a video of him singing this live. He's incredible. ❤
There goes my Love youre Timeles there aint no limite to hold on...on Love youre Timeles ❤ so strong
Glad I refound kamauu I miss ya maji
LăVĭNDŭR will never not make me tear up listening to it. It's such a beautiful song and reminds me of how much I love my mom, and seeing a young happy family makes me happy.
I will NEVER get tired of this song. literally amazing
Didnt even know who this was at first. Turned on a song and kept going. This guy has some serious lyrics
I love Kamau too much. Omg!!! My daughter will do same. Running in Circles. I'm waiting for Kamau to perform at Grammys
No matter what I Love you so very much
So beautiful.. Mbonisi's artistry and music heals me.
Love this song

Absolutely one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard.
Brings a little tear in my eye😊
I'm so greatful to have the chance to hear your music. You Special
My absolute favourite song from my favourite artist of all time 💕
Man out of body experience via my soul experiencing what the story this song brings feeling the depth of love . Fuck man .
His music speaks to me. So organic and beautiful❤️
We still looking for you. This is unreal and we all recognize that. You are something else. Keep on fella.
So powerfully meditative. Thank you ❤
Tore season 1 episode 4 led me here😢❤
I look forward to the day this masterpiece blows up.
I’m so selfish with amazing artists like this, and I’m low key hoping you don’t blow up so I can carry on having a personal relationship with your music that no one can understand. On the other hand I wish you the best in the music industry ❤️
I Love this song so much ! You're so talented. Your concert is one of my best memory from Toronto and I'm so happy that I can listen to this song since I'm back in France
Still listening in 2022! One of my favorite songs from him.
KAMAU is the prime definition of underrated
Beautiful song ❤
Awww I love your world men. I love your mv series that looks like an image but actually it is a video.
You changed my life, truly (thanks for your art, from France)
I'm mad at how underrated this is
I am just glad I came across this song, much love to the chilling vibe of this song
Kamau!!! You are making my week!
So in love of this music
Nimeskia leo ni noma sana
This song makes me want to ball my eyes out. Reminds me of a special somebody ❤
I’ve just found this artist. And he’s now on ever playlist
This always seems to unlock a part of me. something really deep down gets to breathe.
Why is he not blown up yet ???!!! What's wrong with the world???!!!!
Not everyone has been blessed with the gift of appreciating true creativity and talent! We're the few lucky ones! 💓
Thank you for existing.
Another REAL/RAW BRILLIANCE!!! LOVE!!!!!
