To quote Mortimer from a particular article on this song: “‘Lightning’ is a song I wrote for my wife and I wanted the video to stay true to that,” shares the artist over email. “The video features my wife and our children towards the end. I wanted the vibe to feel as natural as possible, with the person I feel naturally comfortable with and around. That person who has been there for me all these years through thick and thin, ups and downs, frowns and laughter. This video is dedicated to her.” Their love literally permeates through the screen into all our hearts
Anyone who hurts others is in some way or another hurt themselves. When you can find love for yourself completely you can find love for others by extension.
Wish everyone felt this way Max. I know I sure do cuz that's all I listen too. But, Unfortunately I recently had a female say it gives her a headache , wtf 🤷🤦
So after listening to this song over 300 times, I've come to the conclusion that this is hands down one of the top five best reggae songs I've ever heard in my life.
Isn’t it a beautiful thing when a man knows and is very much aware that he is not a slave to his pride and it’s ok to express love wholeheartedly in its purest form! 😊....... this song and video is everything! Love a man that is not afraid of his feelings. Thanking god he’s allowing me to experience this kinda love between my husband and I
I was listening this song when my woman came and show me the test and said we having a baby OMG now I can't stop play this song and I'm going to make sure it play at our wedding real talk.
I CANNOT wrap my head around the fact that there are people out there in the world who dared to give this a thumbs down.....what is wrong with y'all? This is the best song ever!
Listing to this song for the first time while cooking dinner, had to call my beautiful wife in so I could just hold her and rock. This song says all I feel. Sixteen years and I fall in love with you every day, may Jah guide our path. One Rastafari love.
That is absolutely beautiful Hope to experience that kind of love one 26 yrs in a loveless marriage, first mistake having kids with him But their grown now and I’m filing for Divorce.
Known this kid for years, even when everyone told him to stop doing music and focus on a 9-5 he never submitted and kept pushing forward, this is the result of hard work. Big up T and keep moving forward bro.
Andrew Mortimer looks like he could easily be one person I'd love to meet in real life in Kingston or St. Thomas Jamaica " so much Soul deep Vibe 🤪😃💕💯⛲⛱🖐🏻☂🏵🌷💗👊🏽👣⛱
Thank him for me for not listening to the naysayers!!! This song has not only made such beauty it has saved my life lately!! His music is needed in the world- Godsent
I cried when I first heard this song that my soulmate, Miguel introduced to me. We had the most magical night on Friday June 27. Within 24 hours he was killed right here in Jamaica. He reminded me to keep my heart open to love and not let past events scar me. I've been through so much since I've been on the island and he made me feel so safe and loved. What is life? 😓😓😓
This song as me in tears. This is all i want. Someone to see my fragile heart n take good care of it n let us love eachother each day. 😊😊. Im hoping that love finds me soon
He didn’t write this song for anyone, but his partner, we were just blessed he decided to share it. I have so much respect for this man as an artist and individual.
Swear when I heard this I really thought it was a John legend song really didn't know about this singer I humbly apologize this song i will FOREVER play this here is real fire
Your love struck me down, Lightning Thunder in my soul, baby My heart beats for you only Every word is true I'm in love with you Take you as you are lady You ain't gotta change for me Need you from your crown, honey Right down to the soul of your very feet Girl, my love grows stronger Each day baby please Don't hurt me just because You know I'll forgive Girl, my love grows stronger Each day baby please Don't hurt me just because You know I'll forgive Hold me until we die Weather together the storms of life Won't always be sunshine Baby we're blends of imperfection Give me your heart and soul Love me like you've never loved before Beautiful morning dew I'll be your shoulder to cry on to Girl, my love grows stronger Each day baby please Don't hurt me just because You know I'll forgive Girl, my love grows stronger Each day baby please Don't hurt me just because You know I'll forgive You ain't gotta worry 'bout a thing, girl Heaven every time you let me in, girl I know you've been waiting for a King, girl Oh, wait no more Girl, my love grows stronger Each day baby please Don't hurt me just because You know I'll forgive Girl my love grows stronger Each day baby please Don't hurt me just because You know I'll forgive As the years go by we get older And with experience, we get wiser And our love burns bright like a fire Oh make my soul explode with desire I'd go crazy without your love Oh how could I go on You're my favorite drug 'Cause your love feels warm in the winter Oh I've never felt What I feel with you Girl, my love grows stronger Each day baby please Don't hurt me just because You know I'll forgive Girl, my love grows stronger Each day baby please Don't hurt me just because You know I'll forgive
Dear Mortimer, I don't know if you'll see this, but don't you dare stop doing music from your soul my brother. Continue being authentic and may the Universe bless you with limitless positive abundance ♥️
It's a shame that out of the millions of love songs I've heard in my life I think of only 2 others that are written about the artists spouse. It's like once people are married they are no longer interested in being romantic. True love is not just the fireworks and passion, it's staying together in love for life.

Until both persons are willing to open themselves up to each other be hurt it won't happen. Love is sacrifice, and sacrifice is pain. But in the end it's all worth it.
Blown away by the vibrant and authentic reggae “riddim” couple with his calm voice. Listening to this along with seeing the two children playing with each other innocently takes me back to my childhood in Jamaica. I actually smell the hills of Gordon Town, the winding curves of the countryside of St.Ann and more in this song. I’m a fan- BIG UP yuhself Mortimer. You are representing our Likkle Jamaica VERY WELL with this masterpiece. One Love, mi breddah! 🇯🇲

I just found this song recently, and I've played it three times already just today. The words, the water, the video, the children, this man and his family, was nothing less than pure beauty. I am in love with this song and everything that they put together for the visual. There wasn't a dark club, no half naked women, no cussing, no side chick, no jewelry, no liquor, just natural and untouched beauty. God bless you and your beautiful family 🤎
Playing this tune in my garden, my 4yr old grandson stopped playing... asked me whos singing (they have same surnames) he beg me to re-wind an he sat quiet an listenened it bk to bk 4 times! Bless 💙💙
Young man i lost my newborn he got the chance to live for only three day and my ears bumps into your wonderful talent and i can say i can feel strenght by listening, calm my mind and soul keep pressing on ...wonderful vocal ..@ vocal
Shantal Francis so sorry for your loss, I pray you find peace through this music and any other way possible. You know me not but I pray for you with all my might, that your heart be at ease and that comfort finds you again. May live reign supreme in your life always..
This is the song of the year. This is the most beautiful, soul pitching, heartfelt song I've heard in a long time. It emobies the premise of love in just short 5 minutes; the innocence, the passion all of it! It deserves every award coming.
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Amen Amen agreed that this is my First Dance song 🎵 for our marriage covenant union together ceremony wedding at reception.
🇯🇲👑👍😁🇯🇲 Well Done Mortimer, You are rare and remarkable, you make Kingston Jamaica so Proud, my family is from there & your music is so healing and Beautiful, God really gave you a Gift to share with the world to help everyone, God Bless you and your family 🙏
Congrats on Mortimer winning two Jamaica Reggae Industry Association (JaRIA) Awards -- including one for this track "Lightning". Well deserved respect within Jamaica for a talented artist.
This song makes me want to cry because I love my husband so much. I pray to god he continue to bless us with a happy life together and help us to work through anything that comes in our way.

oh my gosh my heart could burst. Captured the true essence of innocent love so perfectly. And that little girl has the most beautiful contagious smile I have ever seen too cute
Love it . shame to the radio stations, they do not play these songs on the air. Only gun songs and disrespectful songs for LIKES. While Africans are singing decent songs with Reggae Beats and use it to flood the international market. I have stopped listening to Jamaican Reggae a long time ago , too much disrespect, blood and gore. Thanks Mortimer , this is such a treat. Love it .
To quote Mortimer from a particular article on this song:

Anyone who hurts others is in some way or another hurt themselves. When you can find love for yourself completely you can find love for others by extension.
That line right there stuck out to me the most in the song idk why but I'm not complaining 🧘♀️💙
reggae is literally the genre you simply cannot dislike...
FACTS!
Wish everyone felt this way Max. I know I sure do cuz that's all I listen too. But, Unfortunately I recently had a female say it gives her a headache , wtf 🤷🤦

his wife is in the video and his children which makes it more beautiful…blessings❤
Jamaicans are so talented. The children acted so well and this singer is simply amazing. His voice is like a breath of fresh air. 🔥❤️❤️
You hit the nail on the head.
And yet the same Jamaicans (some) will turn around and not appreciate this song....I love the song very much....and the pure reggae

I cried when I first heard this song that my soulmate, Miguel introduced to me. We had the most magical night on Friday June 27. Within 24 hours he was killed right here in Jamaica. He reminded me to keep my heart open to love and not let past events scar me. I've been through so much since I've been on the island and he made me feel so safe and loved. What is life? 😓😓😓
Sorry for your loss
I'm sorry
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 it sounds he was an angel who you met for a powerful lesson before he returned home. What a blessing wrapped in such deep pain.
I am so sorry Zani... My love and mind goes to you. Miguel sounds like a great being, he lives through your stories.
What a bittersweet story, so deeply touched and pray for your healing,
Still here in 2024. Mortimer you made a gem here
“Dont hurt me just because you know I’ll forgive”

Mortimer's voice is the definition of tranquility 🌴💯
Your love struck me down, Lightning
Thunder in my soul, baby
My heart beats for you only
Every word is true
I'm in love with you
Take you as you are lady
You ain't gotta change for me
Need you from your crown, honey
Right down to the soul of your very feet
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Hold me until we die
Weather together the storms of life
Won't always be sunshine
Baby we're blends of imperfection
Give me your heart and soul
Love me like you've never loved before
Beautiful morning dew
I'll be your shoulder to cry on to
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
You ain't gotta worry 'bout a thing, girl
Heaven every time you let me in, girl
I know you've been waiting for a King, girl
Oh, wait no more
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Girl my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
As the years go by we get older
And with experience, we get wiser
And our love burns bright like a fire
Oh make my soul explode with desire
I'd go crazy without your love
Oh how could I go on
You're my favorite drug
'Cause your love feels warm in the winter
Oh I've never felt
What I feel with you
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Merci
Thank you!! 🙏🏾

I'll be your shoulder to cry on to
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
You ain't gotta worry 'bout a thing, girl
Heaven every time you let me in, girl
I know you've been waiting for a King, girl
Oh, wait no more
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Girl my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
As the years go by we get older
And with experience, we get wiser
And our love burns bright like a fire
Oh make my soul explode with desire
I'd go crazy without your love
Oh how could I go on
You're my favorite drug
'Cause your love feels warm in the winter
Oh I've never felt
What I feel with you
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
💛🧡💛

THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO HEAR COMING OUT OF JAMAICA, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG AND TIMELESS VOICE
Dedicated this song to my inner child 💕💕💕
Me as well. So sentimental

Ok me si mtu reggae hivyo sana but this song is just too beautiful
Kabisaa!!
@@NderituNduhiu same here
I just found this song recently, and I've played it three times already just today. The words, the water, the video, the children, this man and his family, was nothing less than pure beauty. I am in love with this song and everything that they put together for the visual. There wasn't a dark club, no half naked women, no cussing, no side chick, no jewelry, no liquor, just natural and untouched beauty. God bless you and your beautiful family 🤎
Well said, I couldn't say it better
You are late to the party, but there’s plenty of room.

This is the song of the year. This is the most beautiful, soul pitching, heartfelt song I've heard in a long time. It emobies the premise of love in just short 5 minutes; the innocence, the passion all of it! It deserves every award coming.

Can you send a link so I can download it.
This song can be on repeat 24/7, and u wont even realize it. That just how beautiful it izzz.
This song reminds me that I don't have love in my life, but I still listen to it on repeat
These kids can act. This is actually my new favorite song
A real man isn't scared to express wats inside for his woman. Bless up to ras he did it.
Wish I had a woman to sing this to... guess I'll be waiting till then...blessings to all !
Wonder if I'll ever find a love like this?! 😩

Mortimer- Lightening (Lyrics)
Your love struck me down, Lightning
Thunder in my soul, baby
My heart beats for you only
Every word is true
I'm in love with you
Take you as you are lady
You ain't gotta change for me
Need you from your crown, honey
Right down to the soul of your very feet
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Hold me until we die
Weather together the storms of life
Won't always be sunshine
Baby we're blends of imperfection
Give me your heart and soul
Love me like you've never loved before
Beautiful morning dew
I'll be your shoulder to cry on to
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
You ain't gotta worry 'bout a thing, girl
Heaven every time you let me in, girl
I know you've been waiting for a King, girl
Oh, wait no more
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Girl my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
As the years go by we get older
And with experience, we get wiser
And our love burns bright like a fire
Oh make my soul explode with desire
I'd go crazy without your love
Oh how could I go on
You're my favorite drug
'Cause your love feels warm in the winter
Oh I've never felt
What I feel with you
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Girl, my love grows stronger
Each day baby please
Don't hurt me just because
You know I'll forgive
Brother you have made my night!!! Thanks for taking the time to do this!
BEAUTIFUL LYRICS, THANKS FOR WRITING IT OUT❤️💛💚
Thank you for this...made me cry twice as hard knowing the full lyrics lol
This is like a warm perfumed bath, in a antique clawfoot tub, lots of bubbles. Pot of lemongrass tea on the side. Candles. Bliss. Beautiful.
Boy, I'm telling you this is soul-filling music ☺️☺️☺️☺️2023 and still listening....Fav☺️☺️
This song makes me cry without knowing what I'm crying about. The emotions are that real.
This song symbolizes why reggae is the purest Musical religion.
Facts 🙌🏾
Instant classic! Tune will live forever.
definitely one of the best songs with a heavenly voice
soundman1233 No doubt about it💛✨🤘🏽😊
This song makes me cry every time. Everything about this song is beautiful, the lyrics are so vulnerable and pure.
Song ya deserve a Grammy yo... perfectly written... I man not even ago mention Mortimer vocals...
facts
oh my gosh my heart could burst. Captured the true essence of innocent love so perfectly. And that little girl has the most beautiful contagious smile I have ever seen too cute
Me right now
This is the most beautiful song I've heard this year.
I'm in tears. Just hearing for the First time
Love this song i first heard it when he performed at Tony Rebel 2020 show beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Love it . shame to the radio stations, they do not play these songs on the air. Only gun songs and disrespectful songs for LIKES. While Africans are singing decent songs with Reggae Beats and use it to flood the international market. I have stopped listening to Jamaican Reggae a long time ago , too much disrespect, blood and gore. Thanks Mortimer , this is such a treat. Love it .
You've just been listening to the wrong stuff, there is still good, clean reggae coming out of Jamaica.
@@hotstepper8420right reggae is not the only genre in Jamaica lol people just put everything in the same category for some reason lol
This one go out to my darling wife Helen,Rest in peace HONEY WE WILL BE TOGETHER SOON 😁
Aww. I grieve with you bro. Much love
Sympathies
My condolences 🙏🏽💖💋
The best choice lucky her 🔥
