I was in a bad place when i first heard this years ago... and i really needed this song, it had the power to make me cry and shed of the baggage for atleast a few moments and give me clarity Now, years later im in a great place... happy, depression free, engaged with many blessings.. and this song still makes me cry... im so thankful things have changed, and for this song being a part of my healing❤ Thank you, Laura, for your service🥰lol
I was lucky enough to see her perform last night in Brooklyn at AfroPunk (right after the ever-inspirational Miss Nikki Giovanni took the stage). She did not disappoint! Such a phenomenal performer and her band was sooo on point! At the end of her set we were screaming for an encore and she actually came back and sang an a cappella version of Human Nature. Such a phenomenal performer!
You can't live with the world on your shoulders Your shoulders Take my hand and you'll see love will find us Will find us You've been lost in a dark place a long time A long time Now I'll find you, I'll stay here and hold you I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning I'll hold you tight You can't live with the world on your shoulders Your shoulders Come to me, say goodbye to your struggles I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning I'll hold you tight I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning I'll hold you tight Remember how far you've come From the start till the end Depend on me You can't live with the world on your shoulders I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning I'll hold you tight I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning I'll hold you tight You can't live with the world on your shoulders You can't live with the world on your shoulders Stay to the morning come Stay to the morning come Hold you to the morning light Hold you to the morning light
This sweet, simplistic, dreamy sound is a groovy, backdropped to a very soulful, classy time!!!!! Sounds like the tranquil sound piped out in our classrooms from back in the 60's....... Absolutely a peaceful, beautiful, lovely gift!!!!!! Woooooow what an unexpected glimps back in time, from a less distracted decade!!!!!!
I have been carrying so much and this song just captures everything. The ups and the downs. Lord knows there have been days where I needed someone to hold me. Smh. I can not live with the world shoulders.
Animation is beautiful. After you've seen it a few times, listen to the music by itself. If you turn off your monitor or close your eyes you might see yourself floating over incredible landscapes, like a feather riding gentle winds. Music has no visual limits. BTW, I hear a lot of Satie in this music, especially the Gymnopedies. That, I think, is NICE.
Being a massive Gaga fan (Little Monster), i very rarely stray into different music. This woman is a pure black goddess from paradise, her voice is great, and she's like a graceful cloth of silk! i love her so much!!
Does this woman know me? No? Then why does she sing my life so perfectly? I'm sure I'm not the only one. She's out of this world. Please let's spread the word, she deserves the same love as Adele, Amy Winehouse (AND SADE!) and other great singers from the other side of the pond. Love, LoVe, LOVE Laura Mvula. Ironically, her name means "Rain" in Zulu and her music feels like the softest rain on your soul.
S/o to TH-cam for leading me to so many wonderful artists & songs lately... gosh so refreshing to hear real talent in a world filled w/ so many glorifying the f*kery
My friend sent me this song last night and I'm just listening to it thank you Wan. I really love you and I have to stop feeling like I'm holding the world on my shoulders this is not my battle! ❤️
My soul! Where have you been all my listening years? I hear you... your music really takes me out of myself into a quiet calm space. Certainly getting all your albums on iTunes and CD. Ngiyabonga Sis Laura!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This makes me think of sunlight and blue and yellow and orange. Its hard to explain. I just feel pulled along into a really good place listening to this song. I can't wait get this album. Laura Mvula, Josephine Oniyama, Corinne Bailey Rae, Jessie Ware, and I know there are more to come. They are making music worth my while these days.
Congratulations Earthlings we are getting back in our minds musically. Refreshing what I'm hearing/seeing lately. Now put down those damn guns. Please.
just loved your comment as well as this song, quiet rebellion is an undiscovered hidden gem in all things quiet and profound and makes stunningly beautiful music, some of his videos are on my favourite list...x
Hello old friend. Sing to me again my heart is heavy today. I'll try not to live with the world on my shoulders but sing again for me. For my heart is heavy... 😔💔
This video, combined with this beautifully enchanting song, is one of the most wonderful things I've seen in a long, long time. Absolutely mesmerizing! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with the world!
Laura Mvula music makes me so happy and so sad @ the same time..She makes me feel good things while missing the people I love who are no longer here. GOD bless her and her music..She's saving me right now. Thank you Laura.
LAURA MVULA'S ALBUM "SING TO THE MOON" OUT ON THE 4TH MARCH DESERVES TO BE AS BIG AS ADEL'S 21 ALBUM. The video's for GREEN GARDEN and SHE are really beautiful. She's a great talent. A BREATH OF FRESH AIR.
she has a beautiful voice. its a pitty that most of us have been brainwashed into thinking loud music is good music. its time we recognise talented people with meaningful music like Laura. I LOVE HER xx
When I listen to this I feel like my soul is being kissed softly
Isabel Mateus 💜💜💜

This song soothes me. I feel cradled by my mom when I hear it . You are beautiful, thanks for your music.
Waterman brought me here.....I wanna speak into existence me seeing you perform this live
Reminds me of waking up on a Sunday morning and seeing the sunlight shining rainbows through my hair.
I heard literally 2 seconds of this song in the netflix film 'the water man' and now I'm obsessed
Played at my baby son's funeral...a very special song to me. With this song Laura saved my soul...
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my 40 years of existence
this was the last song I played with my dog listening, before he passed away from cancer. ): rest in peace totoro.
+Lina Chang Ohh
+Lina Chang :(
+Lina Chang RIP
+Lina Chang Sorry for your loss,i love animals.RIP...
Lina Chang, Totoro lives on. I never met your dog and I appreciate the little love.
I really needed this song... I'm struggling tonight...
It makes me really, really happy too see there is not a single bad comment... It gives me hope that the world still craves for good music :)
Right!
The song sounds beautiful during the winter
It's nice to see different people admiring this woman's beautiful work of art. It feels nice. One world
7 years later and it still slaps

Really excited to see her at AfroPunk-Johannesburg, South Africa on the 31st. I've missed her Jazz performances for so long.
Laura Mvula's music is like having your soul brushed with silk and having wonderous secrets gently whispered in your ear
Dang, all of her music is nice. I forgot and let her whole playlist go and I am blown away. Lyrics are so real.
i cried, she knows how they treat us
icicle en viva :(
Me too....
people really need to recognize her AMAZING talent!!
I am so grateful for this music!
i play this song for my baby girl some nights and she sleeps so peacefully
Beautiful.
Whereee is the loooove button????? This stole my heart, the voices, the instruments, the pause.. everything's in place
You can't live with the world on your shoulders
Your shoulders
Take my hand and you'll see love will find us
Will find us
You've been lost in a dark place a long time
A long time
Now I'll find you, I'll stay here and hold you
I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning
I'll hold you tight
You can't live with the world on your shoulders
Your shoulders
Come to me, say goodbye to your struggles
I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning
I'll hold you tight
I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning
I'll hold you tight
Remember how far you've come
From the start till the end
Depend on me
You can't live with the world on your shoulders
I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning
I'll hold you tight
I'll stay, I'll hold you till morning
I'll hold you tight
You can't live with the world on your shoulders
You can't live with the world on your shoulders
Stay to the morning come
Stay to the morning come
Hold you to the morning light
Hold you to the morning light
Thanks 😊
What a lovely thing to say ....the music and this comment brightened up my day ...thanks Ant. Laurie
I've been listening to her album non stop. It's such a fresh change. Awesome. My hat off to Mrs Mvula!!
Yes it is!
I AGREE!
Verity N She Is amazing! I've just found her these last few weeks... She's captivating, I'm going to buy her albums tomorrow when I get paid 😄
This sweet, simplistic, dreamy sound is a groovy, backdropped to a very soulful, classy time!!!!! Sounds like the tranquil sound piped out in our classrooms from back in the 60's....... Absolutely a peaceful, beautiful, lovely gift!!!!!! Woooooow what an unexpected glimps back in time, from a less distracted decade!!!!!!
Gawd, yes Paul Bee, this is absolutely exquisite.
Just such perfect judgement in the delivery, too.
This song is a gem I can’t believe it’s not more popular
Al Laura's videos are sooo beautiful to look at
This song got me through the toughest time in high school years ago. It's so refreshing to hear it again after so long. Beautiful voice
I have been carrying so much and this song just captures everything. The ups and the downs. Lord knows there have been days where I needed someone to hold me. Smh. I can not live with the world shoulders.
Heard this in the Netflix movie "The Waterman" last night. Nearly brought me to tears. I'd never heard of her - but I'm so glad I found this.
The caress of God....In the Spirit
I always wonder, what type is this song? It's good for soothing
Animation is beautiful. After you've seen it a few times, listen to the music by itself. If you turn off your monitor or close your eyes you might see yourself floating over incredible landscapes, like a feather riding gentle winds. Music has no visual limits. BTW, I hear a lot of Satie in this music, especially the Gymnopedies. That, I think, is NICE.
oh thats so true......and I hear Satie too now that you mention it......love this
D.E.J.A.V.U.........Lovely, mystical, classy, simplistic sound from the 60s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful angelic vib.......A sample, a touch of imagining what H.E.A.V.E.N may be like!!!!!!
My brother's friend, is friends with her! I love her music sooo much, its breathtaking!!
Being a massive Gaga fan (Little Monster), i very rarely stray into different music. This woman is a pure black goddess from paradise, her voice is great, and she's like a graceful cloth of silk! i love her so much!!

Does anyone else love it how it sounds like its ending at 3:33 but then it just carries on and it just makes you so happy
S/o to TH-cam for leading me to so many wonderful artists & songs lately... gosh so refreshing to hear real talent in a world filled w/ so many glorifying the f*kery
My favourite very talented singer and musician- I played this to someone passing and it reared me up
All her clips are visual masterpieces.
This song makes me very happy. It's like my little go to for a short meditation. The lyrics, voice and music are incredible.
If the whole world could listen to this song the world will be @ peace, Thank You Kitlano Holele for introducing me to your love
How did she get on my Facebook timeline? Thank you for placing her there. She is truly incredible. I can listen to this forever.
Been lookin for this song. I'm glad I found it. Shout out to The Water Man_the movie
SAME! So glad i found it
This is so beautiful in its simplicity. I always wondered what music looked like. Thanks to Laura , now I know.
Literally sounds like heaven...ahhh..he and serious banks are the bass silk vocalist of the century..
My friend sent me this song last night and I'm just listening to it thank you Wan. I really love you and I have to stop feeling like I'm holding the world on my shoulders this is not my battle! ❤️
I listen to this and just . . . unwind. It's so beautiful.
Even in cold light of day this is amazing.Peace!
I can't describe how much this song means to me...
My words exactly I have no idea why she is not on the radio. Her voice is like Amy Wine house mixed with Adele and Yuna!
Pure talent!
This is so mellow and beautiful. It is like being lightly caressed by beauty!
My soul! Where have you been all my listening years? I hear you... your music really takes me out of myself into a quiet calm space.
Certainly getting all your albums on iTunes and CD. Ngiyabonga Sis Laura!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing music video! And this music is made of peace. I loved it!
i only just heard this song, and oh my word, her voice is sooooo beautiful
🍌🍌🍌zzzz
Beautiful is the voice that sings effortlessly, touching the soul of those looking for nothing but beauty in a world that is cold...
I'm singing this in Choir. I love this song so much. It lifts my feet off the ground and just calms me. ❤
If heaven had a waiting room i’d imagine this song would be playing there ✨
one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

I completely lost in her voice, and got mind-blown on this music video. Shitttttt
Agree, simple but complex. What a voice and what marvellous delivery.
Stands out from the crowd - Excellence - Truth
This is enchanting! Truly beautiful, it reminds me of music from big hollywood movies in the 50's x
