U know what is funny? When u never feel that certain songs get old... it means certain times that you are getting old, old people love to stick with what they grew up with... not to be disrespectful, it was just kinda funny to me
I think the saddest thing about this album is that it didn’t sell that good and this song is one of her most powerful songs and it was so underrated.. why????!
Easy the fake fans at that time in 2009 were shook and didn't understand us loyal navy bought the album and support her thru all that situation back then. Now everyone claims to love her but the navy knows the truth and Rated R is one of her best
Because it was too dark for the charts. Usually an artists most personal cult favourite album underperforms. It still went platinum so didn’t really flop, just didn’t do well as her previous project, but then again that was huge so it’s hard to replicate something again like that.
i just remember how beautiful this song is. And it's one of her most unique song because it can be interpreted in so many ways. It could be a song about abusive relationship, a song of contemplating to take your own life, or a song about struggling to free your self from vices or many more. it's a masterpiece
Rihanna was ahead of time,no wonder she hasnt released an album in years. She gave us timeless classic music,more than a decade later and this song still hits hard 🥺🔥❤
Now that I'm older and have experienced the darker sides of humanity I am able to appreciate the deeper meaning and significance of this song and the emotions behind it. It resonates with you on an entirely different level.. Wishing strength to all those who are fighting this fight.
This fight makes you stronger day after another, it made a devil out of me, now I learned how to control others around me and manipulate everyone because my fight removed humanity from my heart completely and now I am ready to fu*k with all human beings the way I want
Me too,now that I experienced different sides of evil,like malignant and narcissism,I'm free to move on. We all are! You can go;🙏it was all a test,not real /
LYRICS [Verse 1] Take a breath, take it deep "Calm yourself," he says to me If you play, you play for keeps Take the gun and count to three I’m sweating now, moving slow No time to think, my turn to go [Chorus] And you can see my heart beating You can see it through my chest Said I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving I know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger (Trigger, trigger, trigger) [Verse 2] Say a prayer to yourself He says, "Close your eyes Sometimes it helps" And then I get a scary thought That he’s here, means he’s never lost [Chorus] And you can see my heart beating Oh, you can see it through my chest Said I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving Know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger [Bridge] As my life flashes before my eyes I’m wondering, will I ever see another sunrise? So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye But it’s too late to think of the value of my life [Chorus] And you can see my heart beating Ouh-oh, you can see it through my chest Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving, no Know that I must pass this test You can see my heart beating Oh, you can see it through my chest I’m terrified but I’m not leaving, no, no Know that I must pass this test So just pull the trigger (Trigger, trigger, trigger)
This song deserves more than it got. It’s perfect for anyone dreading the next moment, day or week, because they’re hiding, because there’s no way to be happy or because there is only death to look forward to. The composition, the lyrics, the interlude, it’s all expertly crafted and delivered. Rihanna is a master of artistic execution. She is a talent like no other.
@@tyliekinc. I don’t like either of them tbh, mj had good hits, but I don’t like most of his music, I don’t like Whitney’s music, they’re both great ppl tho!
Wow. The way her voice is shaky like she's sad but damn that's what makes the song so beautiful. She was feeling it. Love this song. Def tops in my list of fave rihanna song.
@@maryammure5151 If you already knew that, why didnt you say the term? Oh yea. Because you didnt and now you are trying to act as if you knew that already.
Most likely she phrased it that way so more people could understand what exactly she liked about Ri’s voice. If she had said “I like the vibrato in her voice”, not many people (including myself) would have understood.
THE relationship...but that's why it's like Russian Roulette (on all levels) ...to go that deep....it's not meant to be a song about being shallow. It's dangerous if it's rushed....love takes time. To know someone well takes time, patience, friendship, communication ....trust.
Guys!!! It's not about suicide!! I think this song is about falling in love, but it is speaking about it from a totally helpless point of view. A lot of songs are about love being bliss but in reality it can be paralyzing. The metaphor of russian roulette and shooting yourself, is plunging in to a relationship. The moment where you 'pull the trigger' is the moment where you commit to someone enough, that they are now in a position to break your heart. The line of 'hes here means he has never lost' means because he single/available means he has never played the game and not lost his heart anyone completely. I guess, as normal in a Rihanna song, the act of sleeping with the guy is the act of pulling the trigger and falling for him. 'close your eyes, sometimes it helps' is kissing etc The middle 8 is a bit intense, but can sadly also be true. ''Too late to pick up the value of my life'' is that feeling where you are no longer completely self dependent. That horrible feeling were you can't imagine having not met someone and that you are not complete without them. Sappy movies such as Jerry Maguire have made sentiment of this, but it is actually painful to be that in love with some one. Very interesting song because it barely strays from the metaphor and could almost be a literal meaning.
I think you don't get the exact point of this song. This is about loving someone so deeply that even after they do something unforgivable to you, there is still so much feeling left that you cant accept how this person does such a thing to you, but this is literally the suicide because if you continue to love them, you will feel miserable and lose your self esteem. So, one of you is going to die, either you will relinquish yourself, or kill his image that resides inside you. This is the essence of russian roulette. rihanna chooses herself and states in her song: "Damn I'm glad I picked ya Couldn't be with no one else You're the only way I'll win"
I used to be obsessed with this song and video omg, I was a teenager 😢 and now as an adult I can’t be more obsessed then I was before! Rated R was her best Era! FR
Take a breath, take it deep Calm yourself, he says to me If you play, you play for keeps Take a gun, and count to three I’m sweating now, moving slow No time to think, my turn to go And you can see my heart beating You can see it through my chest And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving Know that I must must pass this test So just pull the trigger Say a prayer to yourself He says close your eyes Sometimes it helps And then I get a scary thought That he’s here means he’s never lost And you can see my heart beating You can see it through my chest And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving Know that I must must pass this test So just pull the trigger As my life flashes before my eyes I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise?

Makes me miss the "old days" when an artist would make music videos that tell the visual story to a lyrical one... This was movie quality production all the way down to the stellar editing job! Also, she is just naturally beautiful so visually she hit it outta the park

Wow.. I usually don't get chills listening to music but I did this time.. there is just so much emotion in this song.. Rihanna is a queen and this is a true masterpiece,period.
this song always makes me cry. so emotional. especially the ad libs when she's singing the chorus. makes the feel of the song more deep. Rihanna is truly amazing.
I used to watch this every day as a kid, scared of the video and in love with the song although i didn't have enough english lol. Now listening to it for the first time after years, actually understanding the lyrics, it really hits hard. Getting the meaning and emotion of this song makes me feel bittersweet and rlly emotional
It’s her most personal era also I think one of my favorite era’s because it was dark and so personal it was like a story that we were watching ✨❤️💖🥰💯❤️💖🎊
There is deep message on her songs she's real and she speaks through her music, much love , this is august 2021 I will still come back even after 10 years .
I remember vividly being shocked that it was Rihanna’s voice when I heard this for the first time on Ryan Seacrest’s blog. This song definitely was the mark of a new era for Rihanna, vocally. Her voice was fuller, darker, and heading in a very good direction. Ne-Yo really pushed and applied that pressure, and a true diamond came shining out of such a dark era. Shine on, Queen. That Rihanna reign just won’t let up.
This is what made me finally pay attention to Rihanna as more than just a pop star. This song and video is a masterpiece and a gem that came out of the 2000/10 era
For me this song was a metaphor for when I was in an abusive relationship. I was playing Russian roulette. I never knew if today would be the day he killed me or not. I finally got out and never looked back.

Nice!some people just like to criticize everything and bring bad vibes, don't mind about that. Just the lyrics: If you play, you play for keep not not you play the key
I love that she put out a ballad as the first single from Rated R during a time when the only way you had commercial success was either to put out a dance song or be Bruno Mars. Really goes to show she has zero Fs to give and it paid off.
Hello Rihanna Navy, I invite you to watch this beautiful video homage that I did with love for Rihanna! the most successful and humanitarian artist of recent years! :) Thank you! th-cam.com/video/0GHp0VIZ1WE/w-d-xo.html
It's about the super soldier programs: "Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving I know that I must pass this test" Breath the poison gas and survive, you've past the test. Dive in the water and not get killed buy the gunfire, you've past the test. There's a car running full speed at you, through up a telekinetic shield and you've past the test. "As my life flashes before my eyes . I'm wondering will I, ever see another sunrise?" Consider the shear number of missing children, many of them end up being used in these programs. "So many won't get the chance to say goodbye But it's too late to think of the value of my life" Because eight out of ten don't live to see adulthood. @@blood66693
Momo Jules sometimes you don't know the reason. But in retrospect God has just given me new life. When I made the above mentioned comment l didn't know the value of life but now I know.
I am preparing for a medical exam that determines the rest of my life and career, and this song popped into my head out of the blues. I am deeply terrified of the outcome and what it means for my life but just like she says, I must pass this test. My heart is beating but I am not leaving. Thank you riri.
@@yamip1978 Awww thank you for bringing me back to this. I ended up passing that exam & excelling in my interviews, & I just found out last week that I’m going to become a surgeon. 🥹 I was at a very scary place when I typed my initial comment, so thank you for checking in & bringing me back to this. I’m ok ❤️
I happened to visit Rihanna at a concert back in 2010, she came to visit us in Moscow. It was incredible, so to this day her work plays in my ears to this day!) and hello to everyone from Moscow! Who is reading this message!) 🇷🇺
I always cry when I hear this song it still means a lot for me after all these years. Thank you Rihanna for your music, thank you for being you, I thank God for your life. No words can explain how much I love who you are. You are a legend. I can’t wait till the superbowl. I will pray for you to bless us with an amazing show and for you to enjoy every single seconde because you deserve an amazing performance after all these years. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Damn, I just realized how to me personally this song is about high school, peer pressure, peer group exclusion, high school bullying and adolescent depression (and even suicidal ideation) 💔 I'm so glad and *proud* that I'm doing and feeling much better now than I generally did in high school so no one has to worry about me btw. I hope everyone who is listening to this song and reading this comment is good - or at least okay aswell 🌻
I miss such lovely music Rihanna used to give us. Please come back RiRi. We miss you. We miss such music that touches every inch of our nerves and keeps ringing in our heads. Much love from Kenya.

I think the saddest thing about this album is that it didn’t sell that good and this song is one of her most powerful songs and it was so underrated.. why????!
Quality doesnt always sell good. Whatever cant be played in cafetirias or the radio 24/7 or clubs usually doesnt sell so much.
Because she was singing about suicide and it's no forgiveness in that but is real it's just a truthful song then no one likes to talk about.🎼🎼🎼
@@ericcollins4151 lmao u the only true one out here then huh xD
Easy the fake fans at that time in 2009 were shook and didn't understand us loyal navy bought the album and support her thru all that situation back then. Now everyone claims to love her but the navy knows the truth and Rated R is one of her best
Because it was too dark for the charts. Usually an artists most personal cult favourite album underperforms. It still went platinum so didn’t really flop, just didn’t do well as her previous project, but then again that was huge so it’s hard to replicate something again like that.
i just remember how beautiful this song is. And it's one of her most unique song because it can be interpreted in so many ways. It could be a song about abusive relationship, a song of contemplating to take your own life, or a song about struggling to free your self from vices or many more. it's a masterpiece

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Take a breath, take it deep
"Calm yourself," he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take the gun and count to three
I’m sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go
[Chorus]
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger (Trigger, trigger, trigger)
[Verse 2]
Say a prayer to yourself
He says, "Close your eyes
Sometimes it helps"
And then I get a scary thought
That he’s here, means he’s never lost
[Chorus]
And you can see my heart beating
Oh, you can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified, but I’m not leaving
Know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
[Bridge]
As my life flashes before my eyes
I’m wondering, will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye
But it’s too late to think of the value of my life
[Chorus]
And you can see my heart beating
Ouh-oh, you can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving, no
Know that I must pass this test
You can see my heart beating
Oh, you can see it through my chest
I’m terrified but I’m not leaving, no, no
Know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger (Trigger, trigger, trigger)

That he’s here, means he’s never lost
[Chorus]
And you can see my heart beating
Oh you can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
[Bridge]
As my life flashes before my eyes
I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye
But it’s too late to think of the value of my life
[Chorus]
And you can see my heart beating
Ouh-oh, you can see it through my chest
Said I’m terrified but I’m not leaving, no
I know that I must pass this test
You can see my heart beating
Oh you can see it through my chest
I’m terrified but I’m not leaving, no no
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger (trigger, trigger, trigger,...)
aleks.arsova thanks 😄
Thanks
Thank you
Wow.. I usually don't get chills listening to music but I did this time.. there is just so much emotion in this song.. Rihanna is a queen and this is a true masterpiece,period.
As a 14 year old girl Rihanna’s songs hit hard and I can relate to half of them ❤️
2017 gang where u at boiiii.
2018 October Still a banger
2019 and this shit still fkn dope
2020 and this is still top tier
2098 still fire
XxT3DxX right here bitch
XxT3DxX ayeeee
XxT3DxX Never left
XxT3DxX heyyyyy

this song always makes me cry. so emotional. especially the ad libs when she's singing the chorus. makes the feel of the song more deep. Rihanna is truly amazing.
Am still here in 2019...it never gets old😊😊☀️☀️
So many years and it stills sound's fresh☀️☀️👍👍
Bridget Muthoni i was 7 when i heard it first now im 16 an listen to The song after all this years and its amazing
Every challenge I face in the last few years I play this and push through it.
I love Rihanna's courage to sing this.
CRUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD :)))))))
Bridget Muthoni yes it’s a terrific song
@@BP-cc4gp midget..
I used to watch this every day as a kid, scared of the video and in love with the song although i didn't have enough english lol. Now listening to it for the first time after years, actually understanding the lyrics, it really hits hard. Getting the meaning and emotion of this song makes me feel bittersweet and rlly emotional
Her acting skills are great cuz I felt like I was watching a movie.
She’s also an actress so
@@caylei9967 she is?
And check out Oceans 8
she's featured on many famous action movies, check out battleship and oceans 8
Well this is Jessy Williams I never realised.
Grey's anatomy, Detroit become human, the cabin in the woods etc
i remember listening to this at age 13 thinking i was all depressed LMAAOOO
😂😂good one
Gahahah
I was listening to this at the age of 10 :3
XxCrazyCakesxX YT yeah actuallyyy i was way younger than 13 i listened to it when it first came out so i was 9/10 too
I'd be depressed if i looked like that too 😂 (jokes, i know it's not u lol) ❤️
Rated R was the best of all. As far from generic pop of it's time as it could be, with drama and pain streaming through almost every song.
🙌🏼
It’s her most personal era also I think one of my favorite era’s because it was dark and so personal it was like a story that we were watching ✨❤️💖🥰💯❤️💖🎊
October 2024 ❤ anyone?
This is still INSANE❤️🔥❤️🩹❤️🔥
29 ✌️
31 im last one😂
Even if it's old...I think it's Rihanna's best song.
yeah you are right
Göksu Köksal true
Göksu Köksal one of her best☝😏❤
Göksu Köksal i agree , not just because of the rythm , the Message...
Göksu Köksal I think its Diamonds , than this :)
There is deep message on her songs she's real and she speaks through her music, much love , this is august 2021 I will still come back even after 10 years .
Same it’s my haven Even tho I get criticized for my belief’s It’s tough tho
Me too will still come back even after 12 years.
☺️
What is deep in here
All these years and I never realized Jesse Williams is in it 🙀😻
Wait.. where?
@@kestdrain1446 that dude
Me too
@@kestdrain1446 litteraly the main guy
Who listens to Rihanna's music in November 2024?🎉🎉🎉🎉
When I was young this song got me , like it still makes me emotional
Kera Kay sane I suffer from chronic depression no one understands that
Kera Kay u wanna play roulette I dare u
Sarah Layoun sameee
Same here
I remember vividly being shocked that it was Rihanna’s voice when I heard this for the first time on Ryan Seacrest’s blog. This song definitely was the mark of a new era for Rihanna, vocally. Her voice was fuller, darker, and heading in a very good direction. Ne-Yo really pushed and applied that pressure, and a true diamond came shining out of such a dark era. Shine on, Queen. That Rihanna reign just won’t let up.
This is what made me finally pay attention to Rihanna as more than just a pop star. This song and video is a masterpiece and a gem that came out of the 2000/10 era
It’s 2024 and this song hits so different 🥺❤️
Underrated masterpiece!
Never gets old! 🧡
although it also sounds 150 years old!!
Yes that's also good my friend
For me this song was a metaphor for when I was in an abusive relationship. I was playing Russian roulette. I never knew if today would be the day he killed me or not. I finally got out and never looked back.
I feel like that's the overall message. She did such an amazingly powerful job on the video as well as the song :)
Nice couples Nick ✌✌✌saw that comment
Good that you realized Nicky Freddy both.of us were.trying hard to make you understand finally thank God 👍👍👍😛😋😂😂😂dude 👏👏👏👏👏
I feel you, and salute you for getting out 💕 it’s not easy and you’re a warrior
I'm glad you're out
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug
Cocaine too
It is shii

August 2024? ❤

Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play the keeps
Take the gun, and count to three
I'm sweating now, I'm moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go
And you can see my heart, beating,
You can see it through my chest
I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger (trigger, trigger, trigger)
Say a prayer, to yourself
He says, close your eyes
Sometimes it helps
And then I get, a scary thought
That he's here, means he's never lost
And you can see my heart, beating,
Now you can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering will I, ever see another sunrise?
So many won't get the chance to say goodbye
But it's too late to think of the value of my life
And you can see my heart, beating,
Now you can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no!
I know that I must pass this test
And you can see my heart, beating,
Oh you can see it through my chest
I'm terrified but I'm not leaving, no!
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger (trigger, trigger, trigger
just saying we don't rly need the lyrics but thank you anyway
@@gabbycerundolo9825 ok but I am french, so when I have some songs in english, to not say stupidity, I prefered get the world but another person ability to get
dje n what?😂
she's saying she do that so she can read the lyrics when she listen 2 the song, but some people can get it without reading the lyrics
Nice!some people just like to criticize everything and bring bad vibes, don't mind about that. Just the lyrics: If you play, you play for keep not not you play the key
I could listen to it over and over! 2017 November
Mamo4ka Leo same
class
YES!!
Same here 😍

Now we can say that song is a representation of the first time she signed to a record, young, scared and snatch from the Barbados 😢
She’s honestly a goddess
ASAINTHMECHEGGI YEAH BABE
I love that she put out a ballad as the first single from Rated R during a time when the only way you had commercial success was either to put out a dance song or be Bruno Mars. Really goes to show she has zero Fs to give and it paid off.
Bruno Need was a year later. This was during the time “whatcha say” “3” “Empire State of mind” “down” were number one.
Best rihanna song for my opinion
I think cheers is the best one...
I dont know about the best but this is my favourite Rihanna song.
Hello Rihanna Navy, I invite you to watch this beautiful video homage that I did with love for Rihanna! the most successful and humanitarian artist of recent years! :) Thank you! th-cam.com/video/0GHp0VIZ1WE/w-d-xo.html
For me, I'm back in 2009
joker cool
Rihanna, this song is also now so beautiful to me. Not just sad, but in a great way. It always makes me cry happily and sad, again, too.
One of her best vocal performances 💕
This song feels like a cold war thriller story.
It's soft disclosure, pay very close attention to the video and the song lyrics, its all about super soldier programs.
She sang it about the Illuminati..
It's about the super soldier programs: "Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test"
Breath the poison gas and survive, you've past the test. Dive in the water and not get killed buy the gunfire, you've past the test. There's a car running full speed at you, through up a telekinetic shield and you've past the test. "As my life flashes before my eyes
. I'm wondering will I, ever see another sunrise?" Consider the shear number of missing children, many of them end up being used in these programs. "So many won't get the chance to say goodbye
But it's too late to think of the value of my life" Because eight out of ten don't live to see adulthood. @@blood66693
Hahahah true
@@TomasCorvidea Yea . So true.
This album was and continues to be my favorite of hers. ❤
Yes, it’s the best album of all time!! All the songs are hits!!!
❤
🙂
This song is so incredible. The phenomenal lyrics written by Neyo the one and only, and Rihanna’s incredible delivery❤️ i love Rihanna’s voice
Facts. Ne-Yo wasn't playing at all when he wrote this 🔥🔥
who is still here in 2024?❤
Eee🔥
Me.....❤
Я
Me ❤❤❤
👉🏻👈🏻
One of her best songs, her vocals are insane in this song
Am I the only one who notices that Rih doesn’t say ‘ Russian Roulette ‘ in this song ? A queen 🙌🏾
kosa wha name 5 pop/R&B songs that don’t
@Kerith Chirhal 7 rings doesn’t have the title mentioned in the lyrics
The song and video is already playing out the title no need for it in the song.
She sang it about the Illuminati
Your not the only one listening to this great song of Rihanna 🔥💖2021👻
Your right 💙...
We are together ...
14 years later but still feels like yesterday❤🎉
People were never ready for this hit🔥🎶🤞
Slažem se u potpunosti sa Vama
I am madly, insanely,hopelessly in love with this song.
Momo Jules sometimes you don't know the reason. But in retrospect God has just given me new life. When I made the above mentioned comment l didn't know the value of life but now I know.
Munira Ragina it's a bond song for wich bond flick i don't krowy
Me too 😘😍
I am preparing for a medical exam that determines the rest of my life and career, and this song popped into my head out of the blues. I am deeply terrified of the outcome and what it means for my life but just like she says, I must pass this test. My heart is beating but I am not leaving. Thank you riri.
I hope you pass, unfortunately my big brother didn't pass his exam
I hope you are ok ❤
@@yamip1978 Awww thank you for bringing me back to this. I ended up passing that exam & excelling in my interviews, & I just found out last week that I’m going to become a surgeon. 🥹 I was at a very scary place when I typed my initial comment, so thank you for checking in & bringing me back to this. I’m ok ❤️
I sincerely hope you passed your exam.
Hope all is well ❤
I am listening to this song after like five years and it sounds better than it ever did.. The nostalgia is hitting me like a full blown tornado.
I happened to visit Rihanna at a concert back in 2010, she came to visit us in Moscow. It was incredible, so to this day her work plays in my ears to this day!) and hello to everyone from Moscow! Who is reading this message!)
🇷🇺
I always cry when I hear this song it still means a lot for me after all these years. Thank you Rihanna for your music, thank you for being you, I thank God for your life. No words can explain how much I love who you are. You are a legend. I can’t wait till the superbowl. I will pray for you to bless us with an amazing show and for you to enjoy every single seconde because you deserve an amazing performance after all these years. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes, the song got me through high school, it about facing your fears no matter what!!!!!
I agree Rihanna is timeless very iconic young woman her style her music is always relevant😝
Damn, I just realized how to me personally this song is about high school, peer pressure, peer group exclusion, high school bullying and adolescent depression (and even suicidal ideation) 💔
I'm so glad and *proud* that I'm doing and feeling much better now than I generally did in high school so no one has to worry about me btw. I hope everyone who is listening to this song and reading this comment is good - or at least okay aswell 🌻
💖
😘
💙
Sending you love and light 🌻 Glad you doing better 🖤
This song helped me through a lot the year it came out
I miss such lovely music Rihanna used to give us. Please come back RiRi. We miss you. We miss such music that touches every inch of our nerves and keeps ringing in our heads. Much love from Kenya.
This song will never be forgotten ♥️🥰
