The lyrics "to think of all the days I missed in college, while third world children, they drench for the thirst for hidden knowledge" actually made me go and do my homework! The lyrics are so meaningful!! ahhh bliss
I just absolutely love this song! deeply relative and identifiable. Definitely a wake up call and an inspiration to look at one self and realize how important it is to remind ourselves of who we are, where we come from, where we're going, and by which ways are we going to get there. And once there will/have we change? Or do we allow our own self inflicted sorrows consume us to the point where we cant even realize we're only hurting ourselves and effecting those around us as well. Dwelling so deeply into our own dreamed up stories we call "lives" that we cant even step into anyone else's dealings and experience what others are faced with. In this song, it's a sense of coming into realization and getting back to reality, by admitting ones fault and asking for forgiveness for being oblivious, to other realities than those of our own. This was definitely an inspiration. A great message for everyone. And in music, this is always important.
Been trying to find this for years. I remember seeing it when I was 15. Words that didn’t find the vid when looking. Lyrics that didn’t quite tip that TH-cam bar over the edge to find it. I think all for a purpose. When I really needed to find it, it came back years later. The lyrics mean so much more to me now. I laugh at those who try to sound deep in TH-cam comments but reading back my quick sentences damm. This song means more and more to me each year. Almost 10 years of growth and still it pulls strong. Pure art
Wwwwwwwwwwwoaaaaaaah. I discovered this at 4 AM. My room is full of light, this song's a fucking musical diamond. it's flawless, the lyrics, the flow, the voice, the tone. Oh my.
Meeting on MySpace I'm 30 so I know what that is. This song comes from the heart. You can hear the pain in voice. 10 years on this song is still beautiful ❤️
Whomever wrote these lyrics, I owe a lot to you. The meaning behind them snuck up on me. I was so not ready. I realize that I've been unfriendly, unthoughtful & careless in a lot of ways. Thank you, thank you, thank you! This song is saving my life. Peace.
This actually made me cry. I felt her pain in every word she sang. I hope this girl gets massive all over the world. Everyone deserves to hear her voice.
This gave me goosebumps , everything she said i could totally relate too. we all do it sometimes , pretend we don't have any money when someone less fortunate than us asks for a few pence. This actually really made me think. Amazing !
So absolutely amazing. She has such beautiful sheer talent in her voice. I love it and I want a repeat button!!!!! -3 the lyrics are so deep and heartfelt and they're personal for her which I love. This is real music. Not American pop, REAL music.
BRAVO BRAVO!!!! Raw and young talent, the meaning of this song is truly amazing and your delivery of it was just beautiful!. I Pray you have a Awesome career
LOVE LOVE LOVE SO MUCH ❤️ !! Etta is my girl man still waiting for her new 2016 shit haha, I shall wait for however long it may take !! True Talent right there!!
Hi Etta. I am in love with your work. I don’t know if you are still around, doing music. But you have created the first song I am going to try to sing. Thank you for the beauty you put into the world.

I STILL listen to this song till today. This song is my song for sure and I’m so thankful for Etta for making myself this 😍
Where is she?
I don't understand how real talent, like this, gets no cred but trash artists get all the publicity internationally. Please come to Chicago Etta.
The lyrics "to think of all the days I missed in college, while third world children, they drench for the thirst for hidden knowledge" actually made me go and do my homework! The lyrics are so meaningful!! ahhh bliss
I still love it 2019 anyone ?
2022 still love
2years later still listen to this, Etta bond is an angel
angel ❤️
Her voice, the words, everything!
I finally got to share this song with my 13 year old. When it first came out she was just a toddler.
