I never get tired of your music / art. It is ALWAYS therapeutic & medicinal. Thank you, Erykah, and that which created you, if you ever see this. "You are much appreciated" is an understatement.
Erykah is the best live entertainer…. she’s got it all… musical intelligence, spontaneous and razor sharp orchestration, uniqueness, good atmospheric vibes, unselfish healing, fun/humor…I could literally go… “ON and ON”. Pun intended ❤❤❤
had to come back to this.. I worked at the hospital during quarantine and I saw things u wouldn’t believe.. i had to get out of that..watching and listening to this got me through..and now 3 years later.. i’m my own boss and driving a bmw.. thank u Lord and it’s all because I believed .. u see the shirt i’m wearing in the pic.. that was 5 years ago and I had nothing…real💯🙏🏾♥️

"Most intellects do not believe in God but they fear us just the same" - hardest line ever wrote. She hit em with the James Brown "play your instrument like a drum"
@@electrosonicnebula thanks for the comment. ... When i think religious i think of the one god concept. But Eryka comes from the original man and original woman are all gods way of thinking, which i always considered the key to freeing the mind from "religious" dogma and bs. As far as feisty, that's a hard one. It remind me of that saying, "we had to take everything we have, nothing was ever giving to us"
@@coreyano I love her music and this stripped-down band show was definitely cool. I've been even more down on religion and war lately. Ever more the secular humanist peacenik. I'm cartesian so sometimes I have a hard time following her musings. I see the irony that I was being feisty myself right there anyway, maybe defensive in case her dichotomy pitted the religious against the intellectuals. Maybe I've never fully understood the exact meaning of that particular lyric and that's why it bothers me. I'm not sure about "original man and original woman are all gods" way of thinking but maybe you can explain. I think I understand the part about having had to fight for what one has. Being white, I haven't had to fight for certain privileges that should be everybody's, in case the reference is racial.
@@electrosonicnebula great reply. I too am a secular humanist peacenik. When i was a young impressionable youth, i along with other young knuckleheads, heard the rap group 'Eric B and Rakim'. Along with being the smoothest rapper we had ever heard, Rakim was also the first time many of us heard the lessons of the nation of Islam ☪ One of the lessons says "YOU, black man, are the original man. And the original man is god." This was a powerful statement to a people who in some places were being told "the bible says God cursed the black man". So, yeah, maybe one day miss Badu will give a good breakdown to the lyrics in her 1st! single, "On and On". Till then we always got the comments section. PEACE
@@coreyano Yes I remember Rakim was religious. It was a time of increased globalization and new powerful means of communication that my own clique of knuckleheads thought might bring more multiculturalism and help people generally get along. Some people were skeptical and turned out to be right, and then some. It was also the days of Rodney King and the Million Man March, which somehow felt marginal or excessive. Fishbone had a song called "So Many Millions" that was definitely one of the best songs I knew. It said "so many millions can't be wrong" and I thought at the time was some sort of exaggeration for emphasis. In hindsight I hear that differently. It was also a fun time I guess, maybe in part because of that innocence. That would have been right before I first heard Erykah Badu. Music is also an educational process. Peace to you.
