My mom just passed recently, she was a huge Alicia Keys fan and my best friend. This song always reminded me of our relationship. I played it so much while I pray by her bedside.
Lyrics : Money, some people so poor all that they got is money Oh and diamonds Some people waste their life counting their thousands I don't care what they're offering, How much gold they bring. They can't afford what we got, Not even the king They can't afford what we got, Not even the king Ohhh castles, some people so lonely What good is a castle? Surrounded by people, but ain't got a friend, That's not on the payroll. Ohh, I don't care what they bring, They can have everything. They can't afford what we got, Not even the king They can't afford what we got, Not even the king All the king's horses and all the king's men, Came charging to get what we got. They offered the crown and they offered the throne I already got all that I want All the king's horses and all the king's men They came marching through They offered world just to have what we got. But I found the world in you, I found the world in you. So darling listen Your arms around me worth more than a kingdom, Yeah, believe that The trust that we feel, The king's never felt that. Yeah, this is the song we sing We don't need anything They can't afford this This is priceless. They can't afford what we've got Not even the king They can't afford what we got, Not even the king
One of the most poignant songs .. heartfelt and beautiful - “So Darling Listen.. your arms around me worth more than a kingdom “ They can’t afford this- This is priceless ❤❤❤

I love Alicia Keys, her songs are amazing, she is wonderful, has a wonderful voice, she is talented and all of the best things. But I have a concern: does she have a personal stylish? Because I swear, I try to understand her outfits, but every time...I can't, I just can't understand why every time she disappoints me. She has a great body...but something is just not right...
@mrmat12311 clearly something's missing in you if you aren't moved by the lyrics in this song which makes most people love it. "Love" what the song is about, the world needs more of, thank you Alicia Keys for continuing to spread that message
You kidding? Sandé co-wrote the song, Keys is an excellent songwriter, writes almost all of her songs (if not all) and composes her music. If you want to blame someone for only singing songs of others, do it with someone else. ItchB.
This is my music is power. Even if I didn’t know the lyrics and she said nonsense, the tone of her voice and that piano would be perfect. Emotion and passion laid out to perfection

Mexi so sorry dear 🙏🏾
Rest Peace Queen 👸
I'm so sorry..may I ask how you go on after that..do you have your father or grandparents or siblings ?
Favorite female singer. So insanely talented
Lyrics :
Money, some people so poor all that they got is money
Oh and diamonds
Some people waste their life counting their thousands
I don't care what they're offering,
How much gold they bring.
They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king
They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king
Ohhh castles, some people so lonely
What good is a castle?
Surrounded by people, but ain't got a friend,
That's not on the payroll.
Ohh, I don't care what they bring,
They can have everything.
They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king
They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king
All the king's horses and all the king's men,
Came charging to get what we got.
They offered the crown and they offered the throne
I already got all that I want
All the king's horses and all the king's men
They came marching through
They offered world just to have what we got.
But I found the world in you,
I found the world in you.
So darling listen
Your arms around me worth more than a kingdom,
Yeah, believe that
The trust that we feel,
The king's never felt that.
Yeah, this is the song we sing
We don't need anything
They can't afford this
This is priceless.
They can't afford what we've got
Not even the king
They can't afford what we got,
Not even the king
Her greatness was never in the majesty of her voice. It was in the sincerity of her art.
Back handed compliment, she has a beautiful voice
One of her best performances. This is actually amazing. No wonder she's my idol. She really made me feel this. Actually crying
She was vocally at her best today

Actually, Keys co-wrote it with Sande. Both are extremely talented. Keys co-wrote the song Hope with Sande on Our Version of Events as well.
Alicia and Emeli Sande are both beautiful and talented! She co-wrote this beautiful song with her!
❤
Best song of AK
Apparently this song is actually about a guy Alicia came across called Bruce Wayne
esta mujer es maravillosa es capaz de sacarme una lagrima tan solo con su musica la amo ♥
Tru words spoken by a person who knows music
I love this song
Just A Perfect Song!
# Awesome Song!
It was written by Emeli Sande. She sang it. Sande is the talented one! FYI
Alicia and emeli both wrote it TOGETHER. And Alicia produced it herself.
Oh my God..♡♡♡♡
