This track is therapy after a long day at the job...loop it a few times on the way home from work and you're guaranteed to feel better. Only genius can get this accomplished while singing about it!
I get that lump in my throat, shortness of breath. Eyes well with joyous tears. I love what she does to me. No one else ever did this in my 38 years of loving music.
I love Esperanza Spaldings music so so much!! I own almost all of her cd albums. Sadly not many people know of her outside of the jazz musician community. I tell everybody about her music!
Right now you need it, driving yourself through the hard times Traffic won't speed up, so you turn the radio on But it's the same old stuff that makes you yawn Well somehow he feels it and the DJ here at the station Sends sweet salvation, when he starts to play this song Now you can't help singin' along Even though you never heard it You keep singin' it wrong This song will keep you grooving (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) Words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Ooh, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits Words are speaking through you Ooh, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) Words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Yes, this song's the one Even though you never heard it You keep singing it wrong, this song's the one And then they start mixing it up When you're tired and scared of missing something Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better Enter that song Now that's how we know the power of song can save When you're tired and scared of missing something Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better Enter that song Now that's how we know the power of song can save That's how we know the power of song can save Well it can surely save the day and keep you grooving (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits Words are speaking through you Yes, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) Words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Yes, this song's the one Smiling and driving, sounds like soon it might be over So you pull over, and start scrambling for a pen But another comes in again Paper in hand, you, can't help movin' while you're listenin' Your skin starts bristlin', here comes the part you know And you can't help singing along, even though you never heard it And you keep singing it wrong This song will keep you grooving (Can't stop it moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) The words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Ooh, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits When the words are speaking through you Ooh, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) Words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Yes, this song's the one Yes, this song's the one Now if you want to Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart (Play it to lift your spirits) Because you like to, because you need to This song's the one Now if you want to Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart Because you like to, because you need to Now if you want to Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart Because you like to, because you need to Now if you want to Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart Because you like to, because you need to
This song is great on many levels. The lyrics are great but listen for the point and counterpoint between the voice, rhythm section, horns, and of course the bass. The blending of styles is remarkable and worth listening to many times to appreciated what she has pulled together.
I can see how you think that but she's definitely not selling out. If you look into her project more, you will learn that the mission statement behind this album was not to get her onto the radio necessarily, but to bring jazz more into the forefront of today's mainstream music. If you haven't already, you should check out the DVD that went along with the bonus edition of the cd, it contains 10+ music videos and some really awesome behind the scenes features that are worth seeing.
Fantasticoooooooooooo!!!!!!! Eperanza è FAntasticooooooooooo !! Bravissimi tutti , video e brano meravigliosi! ti ho visto a Lucca nel 2016 non lo scorderò mai
Just discovered her and I'm blown away! Heard this cut on a college radio station (since it's too good for regular radio). Wow, the funky bass line, the complex melody, the beautiful vocals... sign me up! Can't wait to hear the whole record and see her live!
I love this woman. She's a female version of Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Rick James, Billy Preston, Lenny Kravitz, Larry Graham, Stanley Clarke (as well as so many others whose names are too long to name). Versatility in every sense of the word defines her. Can't wait to see her in concert one of these days. BTW, they played this @ Starbucks just now. I plan to get this bad boy next pay period!
So this was written nine years ago. I hope you have learned by now that listing male performers to praise her really don’t make sense in many ways. Are you saying male performers are better but she is included as an equal? Listing so many of them to suggest she is unique? Why does she have to be a female version of anyone? You must not be alive being so badly handicapped. Rip.
I remember when she won the best new artist Grammy over the biebster with his outrageously silly baby,baby,baby song and all of the little girls were outraged that he lost to Esperanza!!😆😆😆
@@akemygoto4425 that wasn’t my intent. All I was saying was she’s right up there with the greats before her. She even surpassed some of them. It was just a compliment, no more no less. And you’re right, she IS her own version (gonna edit that in my comment, thank you).
i 'met' Esperanza just a few day's ago at youtube, but i already bought her cd's. Swinging, musical, grooving (my style, ooh yeah) sound great and is just nice to listen too.
I must say that the video is fun to watch, too. I should keep this CD in my car and play it the next time I'm in a traffic jam. Maybe people will get out of their cars and start dancing.
I went to see her in concert last night and I tell you she sounds even BETTER in person! My goodness! Esperanza and the Radio Music Society are absolutely AMAZING!
it like she read my mind! after work, i was tired of the radio so i downloaded this album and listened to it in my car. sadly it was rush hour, but this song came up and i was happy just groovin' and singing it wrong. haha
Mathews Barbosa Or, y'know, personal taste. Just because something is popular (or unpopular, for that matter) doesn't automatically make it good or bad. Putting down one musician to big up another is just silly and unnecessary.
I never saw the video before. What fun! It's every commuter's fantasy. The story is exactly how I got turned on to ES.I started bopping down the freeway and when I got off, I pulled over and started searching for a pen...
I met Esperanza last night...she is absolutley as wonderful as her music!!
I hear Erykah Badu, Basia and Steely Dan in this one track alone. Brilliant. The world of jazz was waiting for Esperanza.
This lady is pure class.
Playing bass so skilled and singing so effortless is crazy difficult. She's truly brilliant and groovy hair to bootsy
The way the sound changes at 2:15 get me teary eyed. It's just such a beautiful sound.
❣
truth
This track is therapy after a long day at the job...loop it a few times on the way home from work and you're guaranteed to feel better. Only genius can get this accomplished while singing about it!
Cool .Whit-It I agree with you... pure genius!
Or on the way to work this songs da1
This song is definitely the one..
I get that lump in my throat, shortness of breath. Eyes well with joyous tears. I love what she does to me. No one else ever did this in my 38 years of loving music.
I love Esperanza Spaldings music so so much!! I own almost all of her cd albums. Sadly not many people know of her outside of the jazz musician community. I tell everybody about her music!
She has the flava of a back in the day NYC Village jazz club singer. Wow!
I'm in love. This song IS the one. And all your songs girl. I wish they would play this on the radio. Thank God for bluetooth.
This Girls is off the chain, I mean..... Such a great Intellect in sound!!!!
Yeah she's pretty amazing. Lol I kinda love her.
Right now you need it, driving yourself through the hard times
Traffic won't speed up, so you turn the radio on
But it's the same old stuff that makes you yawn
Well somehow he feels it and the DJ here at the station
Sends sweet salvation, when he starts to play this song
Now you can't help singin' along

(As if they knew you)
Yes, this song's the one
Even though you never heard it
You keep singing it wrong, this song's the one
And then they start mixing it up
When you're tired and scared of missing something
Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better
Enter that song
Now that's how we know the power of song can save
When you're tired and scared of missing something
Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better
Enter that song
Now that's how we know the power of song can save

(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Yes, this song's the one
Smiling and driving, sounds like soon it might be over
So you pull over, and start scrambling for a pen
But another comes in again
Paper in hand, you, can't help movin' while you're listenin'
Your skin starts bristlin', here comes the part you know
And you can't help singing along, even though you never heard it
And you keep singing it wrong
This song will keep you grooving
(Can't stop it moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
The words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Ooh, this song's the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
When the words are speaking through you
Ooh, this song's the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Yes, this song's the one
Yes, this song's the one
Now if you want to
Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart
(Play it to lift your spirits)
Because you like to, because you need to
This song's the one

Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart
Because you like to, because you need to
Now if you want to
Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart
Because you like to, because you need to

Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart
Because you like to, because you need to
This song is brilliant on so many levels... technically & emotionally.
What an amazing artist & what an amazing band/team!
She is #class 👌🏾
THIS IS GOLD!!!! brightened the hell outta my day!!!
This Song needs a LOVE button!! Warm & Fuzzy good feeling listening to this!
Generally love the groove in most of her songs !!!
Really has this repetitive feel in a lot of her tunes, snare hit on 3, bass line on 2&, 3, 4.
The oldies are great, but I am excited that I finally have an artist from my generation I can share with my kids...
oh. my goodness. so good. sooooo good. genius status.
This needs so much more publicity... this is the best song I've heard in a very long time
Love me some Esperanza. She's crazy talented. She's gorgeous. Just lovely all around.
I adore her. She's a breath of fresh air.
This song is great on many levels. The lyrics are great but listen for the point and counterpoint between the voice, rhythm section, horns, and of course the bass. The blending of styles is remarkable and worth listening to many times to appreciated what she has pulled together.
Thats a HUGE responsiblity your putting on this young womans shoulders!
She's amazing, Thank you My sister Nefeteri.
I was nine feet away from her last night in Charlotte. Her and her band was crucial. She funny as hell to and even more beautiful in person.
this song's the one...beauruful song beautufully sung.

Fantasticoooooooooooo!!!!!!! Eperanza è FAntasticooooooooooo !! Bravissimi tutti , video e brano meravigliosi! ti ho visto a Lucca nel 2016 non lo scorderò mai
Just heard this song at our University Women's Choir Spring Concert and fell in love!!!!!!!
OH THE POWER OF SONG! What a wonderful world we live in!
This woman is SUPER TALENTED! This is a great song from an exemplary CD.
Just discovered her and I'm blown away! Heard this cut on a college radio station (since it's too good for regular radio). Wow, the funky bass line, the complex melody, the beautiful vocals... sign me up! Can't wait to hear the whole record and see her live!
Man, Radio Music Society saxophone section is just the best...
Fresh as a daisy and as beautiful as a rose...The music is wonderful...
I'll sleep with this song in my ears...
This is in perfect harmony with the call to prayer in Doha today. She is an angel
Venite para Argentina!!!!!!!!!!!!!! te queremos mucho!! Gracias, sos la mejor. Te mando un abrazo.
Esperanza! I love u! you are an angel from our musical heaven!
I love this woman. She's a female version of Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Rick James, Billy Preston, Lenny Kravitz, Larry Graham, Stanley Clarke (as well as so many others whose names are too long to name).

More like Jaco meets Billie☺️
In fact, her name should be in this list. Why gender comparison? She is her own version.
@@akemygoto4425 that wasn’t my intent. All I was saying was she’s right up there with the greats before her. She even surpassed some of them. It was just a compliment, no more no less. And you’re right, she IS her own version (gonna edit that in my comment, thank you).
Saw her last weekend in Rochester, NY at the Jazz Festival. Fantastic. Can't get this song in particular out of my head.
Every time I hear her voice...I feel better about life.
Claramente esta es LA canción!!
I cannot stop listening to this song. It's awesome.
how haven’t this song gone viral? I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!! FAVORITE SONG EVER😁
I heard this song last night when she preformed in Jacksonville FL, She was amazing!!!!!!!!!
She will definitely contribute to healing America, but this country needs more than just her. We need everyone. Together. :)
I could listen to this song ten times in a row and love it more each time. Amazing as she is on the recording, she's even better live.
i 'met' Esperanza just a few day's ago at youtube, but i already bought her cd's. Swinging, musical, grooving (my style, ooh yeah) sound great and is just nice to listen too.
What a brilliant song, brilliantly sung by Esperanza.
I must say that the video is fun to watch, too. I should keep this CD in my car and play it the next time I'm in a traffic jam. Maybe people will get out of their cars and start dancing.
This song actually put me in a better mood. Love her.
This Beautiful Lady just made my day with her music. Pray God for her I am hooked!!! peace and love!
One of my favorite songs by her!!! Its upbeat, happy and gets me going! True musician!
Gosh, I get goosebumps EVERYTIME I listen to this song!!!
Esperanza is so amazing!!!!! She's introducing a whole new hip hop generation to jazz.
THIS song is the ONE!
She is life......a smile that unlocks everything...pure joy
Just saw Ms. Spalding perform live in Toronto.... my mind was blown. Her live show, it's like I've never heard music before. I was in awe.
Faltaba un comentario en español adorando está canción
Seraa jajaja
Excelentíssima, extraordinário , esepicional !!!!!!!!!!
I went to see her in concert last night and I tell you she sounds even BETTER in person! My goodness! Esperanza and the Radio Music Society are absolutely AMAZING!
This Beautiful woman is MAGIC
Thank you for giving her the best new artist award. Finally the right person won.
This is exactly what your music and voice does to me: makes me happy, brightens my day.
THIS song's the one!
Refreshing music for the Soul. Thank you Esperanza. 1 Love!
+Ramon Acosta I'd be her knight in shining armor. The old song, "I Dream of You" applies to you Esperanza".
I'm a fan...brilliant talent..Esperanza!!!!! sing and play on!!!!!
A lot of chords and changes wow
I'm dying to see the chart. So much going on rhythmically. I just have to let go and let it hit me. Love it.
Very underrated song!
uauwww just amazing song... so talented singer... Groove Jazz Samba-rock( brazilian music) for me the BEST singer... s2
That's true! The music can change your mood! And this song... really "... keep you grooving.."!. Esperanza, you're awesome
She's brilliant... she is 1000x more talented than 90% of the artists on the radio... so forget the music industry and their snobbish opinions.
Esperanza your are a GODDESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I listen to this song every morning since it came out....because I like to, because I need to!!!!
it like she read my mind! after work, i was tired of the radio so i downloaded this album and listened to it in my car. sadly it was rush hour, but this song came up and i was happy just groovin' and singing it wrong. haha
This song is the one luv it! Like the way u play the bass guitar u got the right hands just for it to.
This song deserves more views than Anaconda.
Thank you!
Mathews Barbosa Or, y'know, personal taste.
Just because something is popular (or unpopular, for that matter) doesn't automatically make it good or bad. Putting down one musician to big up another is just silly and unnecessary.
***** Exactly. I agree 100%. Its not on the same wave length whatsoever.
on god it does
but see the way this world is set up...
I was having the worst night until I came back to this song. It relaxes me so much.
Ela pega todas referências e faz algo único... Muito de Brasil
I never saw the video before. What fun! It's every commuter's fantasy. The story is exactly how I got turned on to ES.I started bopping down the freeway and when I got off, I pulled over and started searching for a pen...
Again here, what a groovy jazzy happy song!!! Perfect to get the vibing soul up
2022 - I needed this today!
This... should have millions of views
Thanks Speranza for you punto de vista optimista de la vida! From Patagonia Argentina, thanks a lot.
Probably the biggest compliment i've ever seen on tube!
This song, this song is so, so wonderful. This is a cross between Weather Report and Manhattan Transfer. Great song by a great artist.
I just purchased the deluxe edition. It has a movie which is made up of music videos for her songs. Best iTunes purchase I ever made.
This songs the onee 🗣️
Pure brilliance.
Heavy smooth groovy sound...whaooooooo...what a creativity.....Respect
Perfeito!!!!! Música de qualidade surgindo no mundo!!!!!
She is Heavenly!
This isn't the first time her words have spoken to me as if she knows me. Thank you Ez, for your beautiful spirit! xx
I love it; everything she puts out is perfect
Sadly this wonderful song never gets played on the radio. However, it's not junk, so it doesn't fit their standards.
I am here after hearing it on the radio
you are super talented !!! Love your music... I also love your afro...
