Lyrics: Poetry: How Does It Feel? - Akua Naru yeah... yeah... love. aha. hey. love, I told you all, we would be the band to play it. my ghetto butterfly flew away from me, I wait patiently. by windows and doorsteps, play make believe as my tears pour to chest won't succeed to breathe if not the hear of you. surely there never been a shade so blue a stank attitude, so not mad at you not a magnitude to encompass the latitude of my love for you. no space or time compatible what do I have to do. what do I have to do. oooh my friends say i got it bad for you. I do, but there's nothing in this world i would rather do, but you.... I want to make love to your existence. drenched in the colors of your energy, then masturbate to the memories. I wanna lose myself inside yourself. until you find me, confine me, to freedom, of your prison. exist in the same space, same time combine. until your thoughts slow grind with mine combine. until your thoughts slow grind with mine. combine. until your thoughts slow grind with mine. My, I want to drink the sweat off your intellect reflect, and watch your light passion off my neck caress the sight of your presence with no question undress, to the nakedness of love, pure love I want to make love to my soul mate. my soul mate. make love to my soul mate my soul mate make love to my soul mate shit. I wonder how does it feel to make love to your soul mate. kind of like writing poetry till climax. till the point and place where our space and time match, and we, cross divine paths. tell me would you like that. now how would like that tell me would you like that would you like that tell me would you like that would you like that. im asking you again now tell me would you like that. tell me would you like that. now would you like that. tell me would you like that. tell me I wanna love you more than madly. wrap these legs, around your words. until your speech is straddled deep, gladly swim the currents of your vibrations be separate and one with the same meditation with the same meditation you know what, this right here is poetry...
This is pure art Some of us are getting pregnant Some of us are getting turned on Some of us are simply enjoying Some of us are hypnotized Some of us fell into meditation listening to this ❤️

2021! Coming back again and again.. Cause this performance is timeless! And this lady is such an inspiration for me as a singer! I can't believe I was lucky to see her live! 🍀💗
Just imagine how peaceful and pure one small moment of time would be with this song just playing. Walking around town, looking around at people having fun and smiling, appreciating how the little things really make living worth it. Or maybe just walking down at the beach while the sun is setting and telling yourself how you wish you could freeze that one moment. Or sitting on a small hill at night going through memories and dreams. It's pretty silly to be honest but right now while I type this silly comment people won't really understand, I'm enjoying this moment of time in my life to really appreciate how amazing music can be.. one love:)
It is not silly. It is just perfect and I feel lucky I reached to your comment because it’s full of positivity . I hope you still have the same mindset. Love to you human!
I saw her twice in Belgium! She is amaaaazin!!! She's so humble and charismatic and her band is just sick! I feel so lucky to have had the chance to see her in a small underground venue the first time where we felt every vibration of that song! She was so cute at the end she cried when she saw how every person in that room was singing along and feeling it! ❤❤❤
Anytime I hear a crowd sing a band's song while the lead singer remains quiet, I always wonder how grateful and what powerful emotions are going through the singer and the band...it must be an amazing feeling...I wish I could experience that but I'm not a singer
Came here because Cara Delevingne gave you a shout out on Kelly Clarkson. This is so beautifully written. truly a masterpiece . And the beat and the jazz just brings it to another level. Couldn’t have picked a better genre to capture the good vibrations. … haha. pun was an accident but very fitting 😊
I don't know what exactly happens inside of me when listening at this majestic peace of art. Goosebumps and tears and a huge hug of hope and admiration. Just magic
Oh my god. I literally cried. I’ve never had a song connect with me on such a level I just I can’t even describe it in words It’s just so unexplainably purely beautiful there isn’t a word worthy of describing it wow.
I saw them live at Fusion Festival 2016. I was supposed to meet someone there but we didn't find each other. I've found myself standing on a rock higher than the entire crowd. When that song hit, I just felt it was only me and the band. One of the best moments I've ever had.
occasionally they have it at Godot Cafe in the Old Town; there are also (open air) festivals from time to time; for sure there are pubs (in the Old Town ?) that play good live music, but I wouldn't know for sure which ones; I'd be curious too
9.1 million views?? This is so crazy to see, but this performance is exactly how I experienced Akua back in the day when I first saw her live.. Never would've thought that something this alternative/underground/soulful would attract so many people. Happy for her, hope this shows in her success nowadays.
I was shown this song only less than 48 hours ago and I can’t stop playing it. This is the most beautiful combination of sounds I have ever listened to, and I weep at the thought of all the seconds I lived without knowing it existed. Thank you thank you thank you Akua Naru & the DIGFLO band ❤️
I didnt even pay atension 2 that . I wonder if you are even able to hear these lyrics and feel the heat of this soul . Must be a lack of love from out your childhood . Dont hate player ...
So i found this three years ago and each time i listen it, its like i'm hearing it for the first time and i am mesmerized over and over again. It inspires my poetry.
I like this a lot from the very first note to the very last. Left me wanting to keep hearing it again and again.Her beautiful presentation and the dynamite band puts the icing on the cake.
Wow this is so beautiful, watching and listening to this has me running to my journal and continue writing poems. This style is so raw keep going queen!
The relaction between voices instrumental and tecnic makes the quality off the final artistic project incencial to the sucess between the artists and all the logistics that makes the show hapenning! Jazz like it is ....... amayzing!
after 6 min it kinda got chaotic with everything all over the place just the sax and piano would have made it even more heavenly...but until 6 mins through its liquid gold... Akua Legend Naru....
I love her so much. I'm from CT so she is definitely representing. This is so touching,unique,soul,class,and such a turn on this lady is the reason the real women can still have hope of doing our thang without twerking,showing ass,or bleeching our skin just our natural seduction who else can follow the real not the fake not many i bet. Do your thang sista do your thang.
Oh my my I don’t think I’ve ever felt what I just felt listening to this. Simply spoken with harmony in your voice. You are a dream. Lovely inspiring Queen
