So I was sitting at the Brisbane airport playing this song on youtube on my phone, and Lianne came over and said 'that's me singing that song ' She stopped and chatted, signed her album for me I had just bought that morning, and was happy to have photo's. Not only immensely talented, gorgeous, but clearly grounded and a beautiful person. Deserves all the success in the world!!
I had the honor of doing her makeup a couple times during my early days in NY. One of the most soulful, warm, talented, classy, elegant, amazing artists who don’t get enough credit. She absolutely deserves some Grammies. Love Lianne!
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt It's pretty difficult to make music, publish it, perform live and also mitigate your fame to the perfect level - it's basically down to luck
She deserves a few Grammy's, Is Your Love Big Enough? And Blood are Albums that you can listen to from Start to finish without skipping any tracks, Her Lyrics can really touch you.
First time I heard Lianne's voice was on Being Mary Jane. Her music came on & I immediately shazamed, got the album, watched her live performances, read about her, followed her on twitter and IG. She's like none other. I just hope she gets MAJOR attention cuz music isnt all about the generic formulaic pop bullshit on the radio.There are soo many soulful awesome artists out there who MAKE REAL MUSIC.
+jerrie sambers yeah that's exactly how it was first time i heard Chaka singin's with Rufus, cept there was no twitter or any such b.s., but yeah, same. lol
@@yasinkhansaheb I would say self-love and self-awareness, because of the part she talks about cleaning the dust from the mirror, now she can see herself. Also the part where she says that sees everything clearer after all those lines she was just discovering herself.
I never heard of her until I went to Coldplay's concert yesterday, all I could think when she started to sing was "WHO IS SHE AND WHERE SHE WAS THIS WHOLE TIME?" I can't describe how much in love I am.
This is a really beautiful dedication to her heritage. "Dreaming of the green and gold, just like the ancient stone, every sun rise I know, Those eyes you gave to me, that let me see, where I come from" it's about getting to travel to the countries her parents/ancestors come from and see where she comes from.
I heard this song on the beginning of Grey's Anatomy last night...immediately went on a frantic search and found this lovely, angelic, never heard before voice!!! How did I not know? New fan!!!!
+Tori Flot Lianne La Havas was AMAZING in ATL on the 25th of October 2015. She was better than expected, had awesome presence and seemed genuinely happy about the crowds reaction to her and her music. Beautiful experience indeed!!
This is terribly unfortunate! I really hope you get to see her next time she comes around. She was truly amazing. I could see her 10 times and not get tired!
one day i decided to just randomly click on a playlist on spotify, her song was on the playlist and i instantly fell in love. what a beautiful coincidence
Realising why haven't I discovered her before where was I when this song has been released ??? It's freaking literally my vibe of song!! And her version of say my little pray is living in my head rent free🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 lots of love appreciation to Lianne💗💗😍
It’s so refreshing to see a woman value her natural beauty instead of covering it up with false eyelashes, wigs and a ton of makeup, to the point where they don’t even look like themselves anymore. We need more of this
oh! beautiful lady I love the creation with which your notes mark my life, it is worth mentioning that I am captivated by such unique beauty, thank you for the suspended sighs that you provoke in me with such a gentle smile.
I studied under a motown era bass player who jokingly called this the "Ooom - Blat" beat. Love it. Right in the pocket. This track is SO FRESH! Sexy beautiful amazing black woman absolutely slaying it, hats off Ms Lianne La Havas. Dig the broken glass mirror motif in the video too. Love everything about this. You got a new fan forever.
+They Call Me Sully maybe, but you should look at it from the artists perspective. raised knowing that that award is the epitome of progress. Theres a lot of recognition that comes with a Grammy
+PJ If you're asking of the importance of a grammy, try this article. medium.com/cuepoint/you-may-not-care-about-winning-a-grammy-but-i-do-5e04999229c Maybe you'll better understand that we're talking about career implications, not only status/titles.
Its not fair, she is so beautiful, talented, relatable and feels grounded...i want to be all these things but i would settle for one of them..this particular song speaks volumes about its creator
Such an amazing song. I just love all the vibes this song has. I nearly teared up the first time I heard this song, the lyrics are so damn beautiful. Such a great gift you are giving us here.

Wow. How have I not heard of this woman before??? She is awesome! I fell in love with this song and her voice ten seconds into the song and am so blown away. What a rich, sultry voice. She's gorgeous to listen to and also to see. I love discovering a new artist that truly IS talented!
Lianne La Havas is an artist with style, grade "A" talent and creative vocal ability. The awesome track "Green & Gold" (certified platinum) has a Prince and the New Power Generation feel to it. I got to get my hands on this lyrical masterpiece. I'm gonna make it my business to add this to my musical library. Yes, oh yes!
I met Lianne in a pub in Sheffield and she was wring a song down on a pad. She told me she was a singer/songwriter. She wrote her name down for me on a piece of paper and I put it in my pocket unread I was so blown away. by her beauty. When I got home. I looked her up on TH-cam. and I couldn"t believe how accomplished she was and her achievements Glasto North Sea Jazz festival nominations for MOBO"s US TV and US and Canadian tours. She was so modest and didn"t enlighten me on her successes and didn"t. blow her own trumpet. She is certainly one to watch a fabulously talented artist. with a bright future
It didn't surprise me to read recently that Lianne is a big fan of Radiohead and their song Weird Fishes because the arpeggios that open this song immediately made me think of Radiohead. Love it.
I checked it and you have god damn right. but I prefere definetly Lianne`s song. Her composition is more advanced in my opinion and off course her voice and beauty beats every radio head : 0
She is my queen. Saw her in concert, up against the stage right underneath her. I was the happiest i'd ever been. I love her and her background singer, Frida, is everything.

She is great! I've just listened to her songs this sunday right before Coldplay AHFOD tour starts here in Brazil! I wish her success and she is so cute speaking to her audience live ^^
A band called the Accidentals done a cover of this and I just couldn't get it out of my head, so I had to check this out and nice to realise the cover was faithful. Great song 🎶

Stfu!!!!! Is it true?! I can't believe it 😨
wayyyyy too good to be true bro
People will really say anything for attention.
awesome
Lucky guy
I had the honor of doing her makeup a couple times during my early days in NY. One of the most soulful, warm, talented, classy, elegant, amazing artists who don’t get enough credit. She absolutely deserves some Grammies. Love Lianne!
She seems like someone who would make an amazing friend.
HER OUTFIT. HER HAIR. THE VIDEOGRAPHY.
HER VOICE
+gracelee HER TALENT. HER VOICE. HER GRACE.
JUST. HER.
why isn't she up there with artists like Beyonce, Adele, etc. She has such a beautiful voice and she's absolutely flawless.
That's what makes her that much better... she's a hidden gem!
Jack Cleary couldn't agree more
Perhaps she's not interested in empty fame.
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt It's pretty difficult to make music, publish it, perform live and also mitigate your fame to the perfect level - it's basically down to luck
Jack Cleary Just not Beyoncé - overrated with only few decent songs
She deserves a few Grammy's, Is Your Love Big Enough? And Blood are Albums that you can listen to from Start to finish without skipping any tracks, Her Lyrics can really touch you.
exactly
you don't need an award when you have that talent
Why this doesnt have at least 3 million views is beyond me.
People don't know good music these days!!
Not 3 million views, but it is getting there. :)
3.6 million and counting!
This song puts me in such a good mental state - makes me so comfortable and ready to do the things I love
This song stays in your brain after just one listen.
Lianne is doing her thing. Kudos to her for stepping outside of the box of the music industry.
First time I heard Lianne's voice was on Being Mary Jane. Her music came on & I immediately shazamed, got the album, watched her live performances, read about her, followed her on twitter and IG. She's like none other. I just hope she gets MAJOR attention cuz music isnt all about the generic formulaic pop bullshit on the radio.There are soo many soulful awesome artists out there who MAKE REAL MUSIC.

She is so beautiful she makes me appreciate my blackness!!!
Wonderfully put.
You are beautiful! ♥️
everything about Lianne La Havas is stunning - voice, looks, personality...
The message of this song is so beautiful. It's about her journey to self-love.
MooCowPoopPoop xviedo
Can you explain how so? I am dumb I don’t get it 😭
@@yasinkhansaheb I would say self-love and self-awareness, because of the part she talks about cleaning the dust from the mirror, now she can see herself. Also the part where she says that sees everything clearer after all those lines she was just discovering herself.
she looks so beautiful on this video omfg.
Mel Beltrán ikr makes me.wanna marry her.
She always looks beautiful! ;)
I love that this song was inspired by/about Jamaica. This song perfectly embodies what I feel like whenever I go to my homeland ⭐️🇯🇲
I never heard of her until I went to Coldplay's concert yesterday, all I could think when she started to sing was "WHO IS SHE AND WHERE SHE WAS THIS WHOLE TIME?" I can't describe how much in love I am.
same here!
So much better in the real life as well!
true her acoustics sound much better live
yeah same |-/
I've been waiting years for her to get the attention she DESERVES. phenomenal in every way.
Jerh ree I know how you feel, good music it's hard to be successful nowadays
Probalby the most beautiful woman on the world :) Gorgeous song ! Happy to have the album on vinyl !

Yas!!
Timeless, Classy, Beautiful, Soulful, Creative and Talented... I smell a Grammy needed.
Being Jamaican, I just had a hunch that Green & Gold was referring to Jamaica. So proud that you got green and gold blood girl!
NOWDAYS IN THE WORLD OF CHEAP MUSIC LIANNE SHINES ABOVE ALL AND SHOWS THE REAL ART OF MAKING MUSIC
Lianne La Havas and Corinne Bailey Rae.
I'll be waiting patiently.
Oh my god yes
oh my God, that would be phenomenal. I'll be there for sure!
Same here
Monique
Damn you read my mind
Yessss😻
Sadly still waiting 😢
I'm gently crying because of the beauty I just witnessed.
Just saw her live in Atlanta and she was absolutely incredible. Easily a top 10 life experience for me!
Me too. She was so beautiful and sounded amazing
+Tori Flot Lianne La Havas was AMAZING in ATL on the 25th of October 2015. She was better than expected, had awesome presence and seemed genuinely happy about the crowds reaction to her and her music. Beautiful experience indeed!!
+Tori Flot they had to cancel our show :(

This is terribly unfortunate! I really hope you get to see her next time she comes around. She was truly amazing. I could see her 10 times and not get tired!
Ish i hit the wrong button was trying to reply
I can feel her beauty and her confidence through her video. It's so beautiful to watch
This vibe.... this groove..... wow!! precious. It gets in your head and carry with you all day.
one day i decided to just randomly click on a playlist on spotify, her song was on the playlist and i instantly fell in love. what a beautiful coincidence
That's exactly how I found her, only last Sunday. I've had Green & Gold and Unstoppable on repeat since then.
Realising why haven't I discovered her before where was I when this song has been released ??? It's freaking literally my vibe of song!! And her version of say my little pray is living in my head rent free🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 lots of love appreciation to Lianne💗💗😍
A bonafide work of art this is, she is so incredibly talented and this song has a vibe that strums the deepest chords in my heart.
It’s so refreshing to see a woman value her natural beauty instead of covering it up with false eyelashes, wigs and a ton of makeup, to the point where they don’t even look like themselves anymore. We need more of this
Her beauty brings me to tears..did such a perfect woman ever walk this earth?
she was just amazing last night in Bogotá!
Absolutamente de acuerdo contigo :)
En México la partió también.
+Javier Medina Total me gusto mucho, me hubiera encantado verla haciendo la voz femenina en hymn for the weekend pero buehh
Si, estuvo buenísima.
oh! beautiful lady I love the creation with which your notes mark my life, it is worth mentioning that I am captivated by such unique beauty, thank you for the suspended sighs that you provoke in me with such a gentle smile.
Everything she produces is just amazing like how
I studied under a motown era bass player who jokingly called this the "Ooom - Blat" beat. Love it. Right in the pocket. This track is SO FRESH! Sexy beautiful amazing black woman absolutely slaying it, hats off Ms Lianne La Havas. Dig the broken glass mirror motif in the video too. Love everything about this. You got a new fan forever.
Her voice is beautiful and velvety ...wonderful performance!!
This Girl killed it yesterday in Bogotá.
Amazing performance! 👏🏻👏🏻✊🏻
If she does not win a Grammy...

Definite neo soul vibe goin' on. Sounds very early 2000's.
I love the honesty in this so much, thank you Liane. It's subtle, beautiful, different..
Such an amazing song. I just love all the vibes this song has. I nearly teared up the first time I heard this song, the lyrics are so damn beautiful. Such a great gift you are giving us here.
My goodness. This is so beautiful , I feel my soul dancing. So so so so beautiful
[Lyrics]
Six years old
Staring at my nose through the mirror
Trying to get my toes in the mirror
Thinking 'who's that girl?'
And 'does the mirror world go on forever?'
Carmenia Road
Sharpening the knives in the attic
Trying to watch cartoons through the static
Thinking where am I gonna be
If I'm ever twenty three?
I'm looking at a life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sun rise I know
Those eyes you gave to me
That let me see
Where I come from
Found an old friend
Meeting my guitar in the city
Feeling like a star in the city
And suddenly it seems that I'm where I'm supposed to be, oh
And now I'm fully grown
And I'm seeing everything clearer
Just sweep away the dust from the mirror
We're walking hand in hand in the warm white sands
I'm looking at a life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sun rise I know
Those eyes you gave to me
That let me see
Where I come from
Ancient stone
Oh, green and gold
Ancient stone
Oh, green and gold
Ancient stone
Green and gold
Ancient stone
Green and gold
I'm looking at a life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sun rise I know
Those eyes you gave to me
That let me see
Where I come from
Thanks for this
Yey
Gracias por las letras me encanta esta canción lianne es una voz y una artista completa fresca divina .

This song is basically a reckoner cover
@@xmrsmarsx which she recorded for her self titled album released this year!
The GRADE is EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such a beaut x
I usually listen only songs because I'd rather fall deep in music than the singer's appearance. But I have to admit that she's so gorgeous.
She is my queen. Saw her in concert, up against the stage right underneath her. I was the happiest i'd ever been. I love her and her background singer, Frida, is everything.
Wonderful. I love this song. Lianne, your voice Is so calm and so nice 💞💞💞💞💞
So glad I found these tracks. A poet with a God given voice
Una fan desde el concierto en el Estadio Nacional - Perú, magnífica voz Lianne ❤️
lo segundo mejor después de Coldplay :D
concuerdo contigo, tiene una excelente voz, espero regrese con ellos la próxima gira :3
Otra fan desde el concierto en lima❤️❤️❤️❤️
killer tan outfit in the beginning. love everything about it. so many amazing details and a really rad overall feeling
Beautiful piece of art.
