i think when we say it really mean "the music that people getto hear is terrible" which when u think about it sucks b.c most. ppl don't know to go out and find this stuff
Exactly! You can't just turn on the first pop-music radio station you come across and think it'll be good, pop music has always been 90% bad no matter what decade! You gotta look to find the good stuff! :)
This song has given me courage to open my eyes to God's Truth and Be FREE! Lizz Wright, thank you for allowing God to use your talents and Gift of The Holy Spirit, to sing a song, so freeing to the captive. Blessings
I bought the cd when it first came out, just cuz it was one of the samples at Barnes & Noble music section. Never heard of her before. She needs more play today.
I was surfing Sirius today and found this song and artist. Love it. There are no coincidences in life I/eye find things that I/eye am supposed to and hear messages that I/eye am meant to hear. OPEN YOUR EYES.
Lizz is so calm, strong and spiritual and her voice flows so naturally and pleasantly...The video is great, with the sun, the sea, the sand, the children... makes me travel to some sunnier regions...
THIS IS SO INSPIRING. HEARD THIS FOR THE 1ST TIME BOUT A MONTH AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IT BROUGHT ME TO TEARS. SIMPLY AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL! LIZ WRIGHT IS INCREDIBLE. THIS CAME TO ME AT THE RIGHT TIME. SO MANY OF US ARE AFRAID. THANK YOU MS. WRIGHT. NEEDED THIS
It takes time for Lizz to become known all over the world - which will happen. She knows this. But her fans are impatient. I'm sure Ella, Sarah, Carmen, and so on, also took some years to hit the charts regularly and worldwide. Those who appear on the music scene and are instant hits, are often also fly-by-nights. This will not happen to Lizz. As the guides say when you climb Mount Kilimanjaro: "Pole Pole" ... go slowly go slowly. Or, you will NOT make it to the top. :)
@ayodele1118 real soul music is never brought out to mainstream music, and not to mention the fact that shes a beautiful sista with a natural style and appearance, the industry isnt ready for the real deal, but you are right, this song makes me feel wonderful inside, its very inspirational
I love you with my whole entire being Lizz ... Beautiful vocal styling smooth as the colors or the wind! Your music is absolutely a bright place in everyone's day! : ) con mucho amor. TerrellGuyMusic
I wholeheartedly agree with the comments lamenting that Lizz is unfortunately not as immensely popular as she most certainly deserves to be. But while I am hopeful that she can maintain an amount of success that allows her to remain prosperous, comfortable and productively active in her career, the reason she appeals to me so strongly is the fact that she is Filet Mignon while Beyonce and Katy Perry are Quarter Pounders with Cheese. Billions served with A LOT of cheese..
Watching this video reminds me of who I am...Liz does a beautiful job with her vocals and video..but i remember being laughed at and made fun of for being who I am...I was even called grossly immature.....but watching the video,,,Liz portrays a BEAUTIFUL FREE INDIVUDIAL...so who's the immature person? ..... THE PERSON WHO COULD NOT SEE REAL BEAUTY!
@ayodele1118 Totally agree!!! This song touches my soul. What is Lizz Wright doing currently? Is there new music from this awesome sistah? I would buy it...but she is not being promo'd correctly. Someone needs to discover this amazing voice. Good luck to you girl!
Lizz Wright (@lizzwrightmusic) debutaba por todo lo alto en 2003 con este "Open Your Eyes, You Can Fly", parte de su álbum "Salt" con el que llegó al puesto #2 en la lista 'Top Contemporary Jazz' de Billboard (@billboard). Hija de un religioso que también era el director musical de su iglesia, Wright creció muy cercana al Gospel y sus inicios en la música fueron justamente cantando gospel y tocando el piano en la iglesia. #NowAndTHEN #SmoothJazzVocals
Delightful song. Hard to come by song like these nowadays.

Uhhh this is pretty old soooo.....
ESHWIbaby I realized that, point still stands though, there is still great music out there.
This is a great and relaxing music.😊
This song has given me courage to open my eyes to God's Truth and Be FREE! Lizz Wright, thank you for allowing God to use your talents and Gift of The Holy Spirit, to sing a song, so freeing to the captive. Blessings
I had to come back in listen in 2020, to remember I can be free, sometimes we need reminding.....
This song puts me in such an aspiring mood. This is what mainstream music is missing.
As I minister I grew up around would say, " yeah, say dat say dat!"
And tell me why this doesn't have over a million views? this is a super great song and video
Because she does not twerk
Because the general public does not appreciate a true artist.
DistinctiveMusicTV - Plus LOL!
Maybe marketing because a lot of people haven't heard of her..a shame cause she's talented.
I bought the cd when it first came out, just cuz it was one of the samples at Barnes & Noble music section. Never heard of her before. She needs more play today.
Wow, this is how I purchased it. Her picture made me purchase it. Not because of the physical but what the picture represented to me.
Lawd, lawd, lawd...this girl's voice is soooooo beautiful!
Just finding this video today. Her voice is absolutely incredible. And this video, beautifully shot on Martha's Vineyard, my happy place.
I thought that was Oak Bluff!
Nice rendition originally recorded in 1976 by Brazilian Jazz Singer Flora Purim
with Chick Corea!
Rest in power piano man
Yes! This is the music I am talkin' about!!!!
I was surfing Sirius today and found this song and artist. Love it. There are no coincidences in life I/eye find things that I/eye am supposed to and hear messages that I/eye am meant to hear.
OPEN YOUR EYES.
This is still one of miss wright's best albums
Wow 16 years ago this one me over, fan 4 life!
Do yourself a favor and go listen to live version from Newport Jazz Festival! Awesome!!!
Smoothness. Reminiscent of Maysa Leak in Incognito.
This should not be "off the beaten path". This SHOULD be the path.
Wow...she should soooo be getting more play!!! She's beautiful and her voice is gorgeous!!!
Lizz is so calm, strong and spiritual and her voice flows so naturally and pleasantly...The video is great, with the sun, the sea, the sand, the children... makes me travel to some sunnier regions...
Nice cover and lovely video. A message for this mess age.
amazing
THIS IS SO INSPIRING. HEARD THIS FOR THE 1ST TIME BOUT A MONTH AGO WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IT BROUGHT ME TO TEARS. SIMPLY AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL! LIZ WRIGHT IS INCREDIBLE. THIS CAME TO ME AT THE RIGHT TIME. SO MANY OF US ARE AFRAID. THANK YOU MS. WRIGHT. NEEDED THIS
Easy to breezy. I love this
Beautiful woman, Beautiful song, Beautiful message.
#florapurim wow heard lizzs 1st.. forgot about lizzs..Heard Floras purchased the the vinyl then just heard yours again yrs later 🤔😭😱😫👀🤦🏾♂️

I love this song "we are going to Fly!!!! 🦅Have the curiage to be Free in Jesus
This video was shooted in Martha's Vineyard!!! I went to many of those places.
Just as beautiful as the song itself!
Thank you for posting.
i dont know why but this song makes me cry everytime i hear it.....the lyrics are so powerful and true.
Beautiful song❤
Liz is so smooth and her style is powerful yet effortless. Love Her!
Don't remake Greatness. Make NEW great things...
Because she sings REAL music!!!! We only get 1 or 2 at a time, in limited play on mainstream radio. Ledisi & Kem are those 2 right now.
Lizz wright is extremely talented
Wow! Very nice! I just heard this song on the radio. And had to look up this amazing vocalist!! Very very nice!!
I live by the lyrics of this song! So inspiriational
A message so needed in these dark days! Beautifully performed!
Greatest cover ever made
I will see her live at the North Sea Jazz Festival. :-)
Real talent! Such a beautiful voice!
This song kept me from committing suicide. Thanx Liz Wright
aligned576 ❤
aligned576 I have been there.... we have a purpose, no matter what......
I pray you are still with us
Love this song 😊
Would love to hear her do what she does!💜
This song truly inspires me💖
I agree with Bryce. I just was introduced to Liz's music. Breath taking.
Lizz is unreal. UNREAL. U·N·R·E·A·L·.
One of the best new voices in the last 50 years.
This is a song written by Chick Corea and Neville Potter in 1972
Beautiful voice, words and melody, you've brighten up my day. Thank you
I've had this song since the first day it came out. I just sung the lower part harmony to it. It STILL is amazing to me! #RealMusicNeverGetsOld;)
Chk out Flora Purim, same song, 1976
This is a beautiful song!!
Every bit as good as Flora. Different, but damn good!
WOW! Powerful lyrics ~ soothing sounds...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and music.
It takes time for Lizz to become known all over the world - which will happen. She knows this.
But her fans are impatient. I'm sure Ella, Sarah, Carmen, and so on, also took some years to hit the charts regularly and worldwide.
Those who appear on the music scene and are instant hits, are often also fly-by-nights. This will not happen to Lizz.
As the guides say when you climb Mount Kilimanjaro:
"Pole Pole" ... go slowly go slowly.
Or, you will NOT make it to the top. :)

Love this Song!

This song gives me chills, it is truly beautiful!
Heard on the radio

Song Goddess!!!❤️❤️❤️
The height of gorgeousness ❤️
there many artists who do what they do and no one notices except a few good listeners.
I love you with my whole entire being Lizz ... Beautiful vocal styling smooth as the colors or the wind! Your music is absolutely a bright place in everyone's day! : ) con mucho amor. TerrellGuyMusic
So True, the lyrics are!!
I wholeheartedly agree with the comments lamenting that Lizz is unfortunately not as immensely popular as she most certainly deserves to be. But while I am hopeful that she can maintain an amount of success that allows her to remain prosperous, comfortable and productively active in her career, the reason she appeals to me so strongly is the fact that she is Filet Mignon while Beyonce and Katy Perry are Quarter Pounders with Cheese. Billions served with A LOT of cheese..
I'm heading to Nashville from St. Louis in a few weeks to see her at the City Winery and she is worth every minute of the 5 hour drive.
Ya know, some people just hate french food 🤣
love this this cd reminds me of my gmom celeste. i miss her soo much
goooooood song very classic
Angelic sounds, thanks.
beautiful!
Pretty awesome!!!!!!!
Why we cannot listen to her music on the radio. Tried of that cramp they put on radio
amo essa canção!
Le tue canzoni sono un viaggio in treno oppure sentire l'odore della fioritura di primavera.
Yes,I can fly!
Amazing🌟🌟🌟💛🎶
The whole album, man! And they just washed over her! That's okay, though! Just do what she says!!!
Watching this video reminds me of who I am...Liz does a beautiful job with her vocals and video..but i remember being laughed at and made fun of for being who I am...I was even called grossly immature.....but watching the video,,,Liz portrays a BEAUTIFUL FREE INDIVUDIAL...so who's the immature person? .....
THE PERSON WHO COULD NOT SEE REAL BEAUTY!
niceness!
Hopefully this cut introduces a generation to Flora Purim and Airto Moreira!
Best youtubers EVER!🌚🌚🌚
Sho-nuff, Sho-nuff!
@ayodele1118 Totally agree!!! This song touches my soul. What is Lizz Wright doing currently? Is there new music from this awesome sistah? I would buy it...but she is not being promo'd correctly. Someone needs to discover this amazing voice. Good luck to you girl!

Where's the beach scene filmed
Martha's Vineyard

Great song. Good music isn't being promoted anymore.
Was she at Martha's Vineyard for this video???
