Mortimer - Lightning (Official Music Video) 

Will definitely play this at my wedding when the lord finish writing my love story

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

I walked down the isle to this song 2 years ago today!!! Love this song sooo much

my bf was playing this song to me and I literally was bawling my eyes out because he treats me so amazing and i love him ❤

"Don't hurt me just because you know I will forgive" Just love me.

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.

Easily one of the greatest Reggae songs of all times

This song can be on repeat 24/7, and u wont even realize it. That just how beautiful it izzz.

reggae is literally the genre you simply cannot dislike...

What is the emotional state of the people who dislike this song? Lord, we bring them to you in prayer.

Imagine listening to this song under a moonlit sky with the love of your life holding you close✨🥺

Mortimer's voice is the definition of tranquility 🌴💯

This should go down in history as the most authentic and beautiful love songs of all times. Breathtaking...

This song makes me miss someone I haven't met yet

This was my wedding song 😭💕💕

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

This song literally has spiritual healing woven into it ❤❤❤

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.

his wife is in the video and his children which makes it more beautiful…blessings❤

He sings so effortlessly. Definitely a song for all seasons, talent to the max.

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.

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

This song makes me cry without knowing what I'm crying about. The emotions are that real.

Who still listening in 2024??? ❤✊🏿👑🖤

Jamaicans are so talented. The children acted so well and this singer is simply amazing. His voice is like a breath of fresh air. 🔥❤️❤️

I haven't heard a song this sincere and beautiful in years.

This song makes me cry every time. Everything about this song is beautiful, the lyrics are so vulnerable and pure.

I can’t believe people still don’t know this beautiful work of art love this song

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.

Look at the beautiful music we still get because of reggae.

3 years and two months and i still find this song brings nothing but good vibes.

THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO HEAR COMING OUT OF JAMAICA, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG AND TIMELESS VOICE

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.

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 ♥️

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! 🇯🇲

This song will be forever one of the best reggae songs I've ever heard. one love from Angola 🇦🇴

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!

the lyrics are made even more authentic knowing that his wife and two young children feature towards the end of the video

This song reminds me that I don't have love in my life, but I still listen to it on repeat

I've been playing this song everyday for a year lol It's like medicine to my soul 🙂

"Don't hurt me just because you know I'd forgive." Sigh

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? 😓😓😓

4:03 My mostest favoritist part!!!! 💞⚡💞 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 God Bless this Sacred Song that captures so many Emotions!!! Thank you, Mortimer!!! 💞⚡💞

This song touches my soul It humbles my heart. Defined what real love is. I don't know if I can say it is the best reggae love song ever, but I can say it is definitely one of the best. Maybe top 5.

My first time listening to this guy. Didn’t even know he existed. Omg! His voice is amazing. This is now my favorite song.

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

This song blessed me in ways no other reggae song has! Any one else tear up on this one? Thank you for sharing. Praises to the Most High forever!

I heard this on a Hawaiian radio station and I’ve been replaying the song. Makes me feel so happy and puts me in a good mood ❤

These kids can act. This is actually my new favorite song

“Dont hurt me just because you know I’ll forgive” This resonates with me.

In the bus going home crying, while it pelts outside. This is beautiful. Thank you😭

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 .

Bwoy mi nah lie thank God fi Raising Star cause a the winner mak mi know the song🔥🔥🔥🔥

I've fallen in love with song! That's my School Mate! So proud!🤗🤗

I'm literally in tears for how beautiful his voice is, the lyrics and the visuals!

This is the kind of music that people NEED.

Can't ignore the fact that these kids played their part so well wow!

This should play at my wedding When my husband finds me

Boy, I'm telling you this is soul-filling music ☺️☺️☺️☺️2023 and still listening....Fav☺️☺️

This song is so beautiful Mortimer. Just discovered you today in my listings. Wonderful to hear and see a loving couple and the sweet young children getting to know each other. Truly lovely and needed in our evil world. Thank you and may God protect you and your family. Amen.

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

I don’t know how I feel about this song. From amazing music to magnificent songs. This song and everything about it is heavenly .

Listening for the 3rd time. It’s good to see the promotion of love, respect and family coming from a male perspective. Mortimer ya got a new fan 😍🇧🇧🙏🏾

BEST song of 2019!!! Refreshing. This is what reggae is all about!!!

This is undeniably one of my all time favourite songs ever. Tears and smiles at the same time. The lyrics the video is beauty at its purest.

Everything about this song is just so beautiful. The lyrics, the video, this man's voice. Perfection. Everytime I watch this video I get goosebumps.

This is by far the most refreshing song of 2019....

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.

His voice !!💕I pray he uses it to continue to bless souls and uplift!!!🙏🏽💕💕👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

I feel like I’m behind the times!! I have just heard this song!! It is the most beautiful song ever, it actually makes me feel emotional! The words, video!! It’s on repeat!!!

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.

The most romantic reggae song I've ever came across. Just wow. This song is perfect for a dance with the one u love.😍❤

One of the best line in song ever. Don’t hurt me, just because you know I will forgive.

This song hits differently, so beautifully written ❤️

Deep down everyone wants to find a love that makes them feel this way

This song shows we must never ever give up on searching for love....we are all so worthy of being loved

Just beautiful. Soothing, connecting, inspiring, relaxing and of course loving.

A real man isn't scared to express wats inside for his woman. Bless up to ras he did it.

No Nudes, No violence, No Disrespectful language, 100% good music. +254

No body nuh tell mi nothing Reggae Music like this is the closest thing to Jah yah man. Mortimer Jah Bless your dome and your sole

Everything about this music video is so beautiful..the children really understood the assignment, they are sooooo adorable😍😍

Jamaica's cultural contributions remain unmatched. Thank you. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤Unity & love to you all🌍🌎🌏

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.

Timeless music ❤❤

I grew up in the country and this video throws me back to a time when we walked home from school, picking fruits, playing games, hitching rides, trodding through fields with not a single care in the world. We just looked forward to doing it all over again the next day. I watch this video, listen to this song a million times and it never gets old.

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

Widely accepted, nairobi kenya approves ❤️🇰🇪

Played this song for our dance at our wedding. This song means so much to my wife and me. Thank you for this beautiful music!

What a beautiful song! Authentic Reggae vibes! Just Mello and nice.
