Word! I've been rocking with Dawn since Day 1. "Bulletproof" (from her first mixtape) is STILL on repeat in my music mix. I hope and pray she finally reaps the rewards (financially and recognition-wise) that she deserves. She is the definition of UNDER-RATED! Love her!
Dawn is proving once again that she can not be categorized or labeled. She is more than a simple genre title. She makes music for those who love music with no barriers. Kudos to her!
I know, she's on of those people that just does what she wants and thinks is cool no matter what other people think, so it seems. I respect that a lot.
Her originality and artistic visuals make mainstream artist look WACK! It's a shame record company's would rather show support towards untalented hacks with false talent and unoriginality, than to support TRUE artist who perfect their craft and show growth. Dawn you are amazing, I have been following you since MTB3. Your musical stories have always taken me to places of tranquility during times of stress. It's like I can close my eyes and let the music's vibe take me to another world.
And honestly its a sad tired song that these labels & supposed industry experts keep trying to push & promote the lame. So over it & apparently a lot of folks t cause these artists (mainstream) r not moving units.
Elle Rhapsody you are absolutely right. Dawn has her own brand which she makes her money off of. She doesn't have to split her money with a label that would leave her high and dry, nor diminish her artistic creativity. People overlook artist who aren't mainstream which is sad. Perhaps if they gave the indie artist a chance they would finally see what true talent is LOL. Dawn has originality and creativity that is lacking in the industry.
She do be making these label artist look so lame. And she doin it w/no money, besides what she's able to pull together, & 1 person (KC) in her corner. Smh I wish I would give these whack radio artists my money. All the talent & creativity is Indie.
I love this concept. Amazonian warrior is the best description for Dawn. She is fighting for her music and creativity freedom, and people... SHE IS WINNING!
I love her style and the way she is freely creative with everything she does. It doesn't sound or look forced. I feel like she is truly a warrior. A queen. A Titan.
Gravity holds me close. Under your gaze, feel your pull. Every night my waves grow. Crushing past the rocky view. Day moon - I am your tide, your light gives me life. Day moon, day moon. Gravity holds me close, Way past the shore. Every night my waves grow. Crushing past the view. Day moon - I am your tide, your light gives me life. Day moon, day moon.
I feel like she's saying "dear moon" as kind of an ode to it. Every lyric site says day moon but I hear "dear"...Also because there isn't any reference to a "day moon" in the video. "Every night my waves grow"
Can't stop playing this over n over .I love dawn's music and her videos they are watched in gratitude and awe by me.so many songs on the radio the same nothing original.Dawn always does original artistic videos and deep lyrics .this song is poetry
OMG Dawn are You Human. Can't Figure because You are the First Ebony INDEPENDENT Goddess Whose AlbumS has successfully Made Number one Album on the Charts! Dawn this is just the Beginning Of New Music that's takes You another world! U Did it this time!
I can can't believe I did not know this was out,, dawn you are so gifted , your voice and your originality is beyond your years,, bless you baby girl I love this.,
This song always sends me into wonder about what life can give to us. I mean, like what is out there, what other worlds or universes could we may discover one day. The concept and art always leaves me dumbfounded. So as being the humans we are in this crowded world, we need to make up for the future that utterly depends on us. So go ahead and Keep Calm, America, for we can create new things even we would be surprised about.
This video blows my mind. I am in love with this song. So deep and spiritual. I love the universe and the stars and everything about this reality that we exist in.
This is so damn dope!! Dawn wtf can't you do girl?!! I don't even need an answer, lol, this chic does it all & then some. On an artistic level, NO ONE is on touchin her!! #HeartHeaux #TheBlackEra #MyArtistIsBetterThanYours #TheBlackAlbumIsHere
A lot of comments below have a problem with connecting the lyrics with the video clip It’s actually talking about the love gravity and passion attraction that love made us feels, it pulls us like a planet gravity that we lose are selfs into not minding what chaos might take place around us simply like a tide.
She's so amazingly intrinsic! Dawn Richards gets it! I don't how she has found the perfect way to have her voice evoke such emotion. And her producers...sick!! Kudos for them finding one another. I hope this is a long lasting marriage, b/c the off spring of great conceptual videos to further support the melodic music they're making needs to continue on. I support her! Keep working it Ms.Dawn Richards.
SOME FEAR THE FIRE...BUT A TRUE WARRIOR BECOMES THE FIRE!!! The being in the video was the last of her kind a lone warrior on a dying planet that was destroyed by that dark powerful energy! It was self sacrifice! This lone warrior steadily marched to her final attempt to harness the energy to renew her planet! Knowing of the sacrifice it would require!!! She was unafraid when faced with strong opposition and attacks as she carried a small source of her ancestral power inside her and it haloed a flame on her crown! In the end She did not die... She became the power!
The monochromatic color scheme, the character, and the background transitions make the song mix well together. Its kind of atmospheric in a way as well
This video makes me feel I can do anything! inspiring as hell!! just keep walking, keep marching, when the bombs fall, when the hate attacks, just put your amor on and WALK!
+Jakub Krysztofiak If you're as big a fan of fantasy and Sci-Fi as I am, I'm sure you can relate. Imagine something like The Fountain but done up in this type of style - with a much better story line obviously.
I hope she keeps the warrior imagery throughout the trilogy. It really helps in telling her story and just provides a visually stunning infrastructure which she can build upon.
This song needs to be added to her spotify.
THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING
@@thatvolvoguy6565 it was a bonus track for the limited viynl release I think that’s why it’s not on Spotify
I just noticed it wasn’t there cause I just went to Spotify and looked
It's amazing and has gotten me through absolute hell. I'm just glad it's around period.
I just came here to say this
Still in love with this track. Dawn is in a league of her own. No one can touch her. Pure genius.
That fire-hawk is so bad ass.
ikr
Bobbyp02 the fire on top her head. Whatever its called. Its badass!
oh ok
@@bobbyp0243 Spartan's Fire Hawk!
Best of both worlds.
The black era was amazing!
This song is AMAZING!
Dawn is amazing!
Blackheart is amazing!

Totally agree with you!
Agreed!!

Well said

Hello from 2024!

I told 'em. Dawn is just an artist, through and through.
Bodybags. EVERYWHERE.
Dawn is proving once again that she can not be categorized or labeled. She is more than a simple genre title. She makes music for those who love music with no barriers. Kudos to her!
ITunes got 25 genres behind her name. Lol
ONE OF THE BESSST VIDEOS EVER MADE.
Agreed!!!
OKKKKKKKKK THE CONQUEROR!!!!
Gravity pulls me close......this video will be on repeat!! I am your tide...Dawn gives me life! I love this video!!!
2022 and this still gives me life . Timeless music
The artist we know as Dawn is gone ... This being is the DAWN in every essence of the meaning of the word! This being is a messenger!
No Matter How Old This Song And Visual Is It Never Gets Old..........
This video and song is awesome. I love Dawn and her inventive mind.
I know, she's on of those people that just does what she wants and thinks is cool no matter what other people think, so it seems. I respect that a lot.
This song was so before it’s time. Still fire to this day!! I can zone out to this at any time

Elle Rhapsody stop commenting on all the comments
Lol uh No. U tried though lmao
coming back 2022 this was always in the back of my memories
I love this concept. Amazonian warrior is the best description for Dawn. She is fighting for her music and creativity freedom, and people... SHE IS WINNING!
This will forever be my FAVORITE! My God the visuals! The song, the meaning EVERYTHING 🔥🔥🔥
Dawn makes the most creative videos. Her music is really fantastic, I pray that she becomes a world renowned iconic artist.
the beauty in art is that when left open to interpretation it is beautiful
This song is beautiful
I heard this through vsauce a few years back. Still listen to it all the time. True piece of art. Never gets old.
do you remember the video? i'd like to go back and watch it :)
...still listening...
Always come back to this one. It's so good. I need more stuff like this.
I keep coming back to this every Equinox.
I come back every full moon
This song genuinely has an emotional affect on me. It’s just beautiful. The layers of this genuine artist are just outstanding.
Still come back to this
visually breathtaking.....sonically innovative....creativity at it's best....true musical artistry lives!!!! :)
Everything she touches turns to art and now she has just evolved :-)
This is so amazing, I really see the artistic growth in her, from goldenheart to blackheart wonder where redemptionheart will take us
Had to find this music video again! Distraction has never looked so beautiful.
Back to this song after many years, I’m thankful to have aknowledged her genius. We love you Dawn.
I love her style and the way she is freely creative with everything she does. It doesn't sound or look forced. I feel like she is truly a warrior. A queen. A Titan.
I'd love a whole album from Dawn in this style!
This... is the definition of NEXT LEVEL.
How TF am I so late to this.. ..... SMH better late than never I guess...... My new favorite song is 4yrs old lol
I still come back to this video regularly. It's called out to me since I first saw it. The next full moon. I'm coming back.
Dawn is a creative genius and she doesn't copy no one in the music industry that's why I love her
We are Warriors ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊🏽💜💜💜💜💜🧙🏾♀️
I remember finding this when I was younger and just being mindblown at how appealing this video is to me
Her music videos have always been beyond incredible
This was dope AF!!
You know it's gonna be a bomb ass music video when it starts with a glowing warrior with fire coming out of its head. Amazing vid, love it
Gravity holds me close.
Under your gaze, feel your pull.
Every night my waves grow.
Crushing past the rocky view.
Day moon - I am your tide,
your light gives me life.
Day moon, day moon.
Gravity holds me close,
Way past the shore.
Every night my waves grow.
Crushing past the view.
Day moon - I am your tide,
your light gives me life.
Day moon, day moon.
So is this about an ocean, I'm not criticizing this is beautiful, but what does this have to do with the video
I feel like she's saying "dear moon" as kind of an ode to it. Every lyric site says day moon but I hear "dear"...Also because there isn't any reference to a "day moon" in the video. "Every night my waves grow"
(=
Jessica Loftin It does say Dear Moon
Thank you.
Can't stop playing this over n over .I love dawn's music and her videos they are watched in gratitude and awe by me.so many songs on the radio the same nothing original.Dawn always does original artistic videos and deep lyrics .this song is poetry

A lot of comments below have a problem with connecting the lyrics with the video clip

Excuse my poor English
You have to at least appreciate how visually appealing this video is! Incredible to watch!
Her sound touches inner emotions and spirits
She's so amazingly intrinsic! Dawn Richards gets it! I don't how she has found the perfect way to have her voice evoke such emotion. And her producers...sick!! Kudos for them finding one another. I hope this is a long lasting marriage, b/c the off spring of great conceptual videos to further support the melodic music they're making needs to continue on. I support her! Keep working it Ms.Dawn Richards.
This video and song is everything! Dawn is channeling her inner Kelis with this one. Love it!
Still my favorite video of all time.
I cant explain this but this song gives me some type of feel
SOME FEAR THE FIRE...BUT A TRUE WARRIOR BECOMES THE FIRE!!! The being in the video was the last of her kind a lone warrior on a dying planet that was destroyed by that dark powerful energy!

One of the most underrated artists EVER . So Talented . So Strong . So Beautiful . #BLACKISQUEEN
The best music video I've ever seen!
Still listening in 2024

The end of Doechii’s “fireflies” sounds close to this.
This visual is beautiful
Music from the future slayyyyyy QUEEN
The monochromatic color scheme, the character, and the background transitions make the song mix well together. Its kind of atmospheric in a way as well
This video makes me feel I can do anything! inspiring as hell!! just keep walking, keep marching, when the bombs fall, when the hate attacks, just put your amor on and WALK!
There are no words to describe how awesome this video is. I just love it on so many levels. Please make a full length film!! :)
I would love to see an animation / movie made like this
+Jakub Krysztofiak If you're as big a fan of fantasy and Sci-Fi as I am, I'm sure you can relate. Imagine something like The Fountain but done up in this type of style - with a much better story line obviously.
MINDBLOWING!!!
uuuhh!! Love this woman's artistry.
The moons affects the tides. great song.
I hope she keeps the warrior imagery throughout the trilogy. It really helps in telling her story and just provides a visually stunning infrastructure which she can build upon.
