  • Is this on iTunes?

  • The best artist that always have something deep and meaningful to say. That give knowlege to others in the best way through the beautiful talent of music. Are sadly always underrated. But how many records sold in the first week, or if the single makes it on the chart isn't important. Whats important is that this music is reaching and touching somebody. Its beautiful...

  • Isn't that Zoe in the video

  • shes from my reserve! :) REDPHEASANT!!!!

  • omg! this is breath-taking....:) "Save yourself"

  • I have her first album and she was awesome then and awesome now. She is completly under rated as an artist . Girl , come back with another album please!

  • Love this artist..love this song...

  • fuckn luv this song so bad cree summer fuck ya man i luv this song

  • Can't believe her music career flopped. I adore her voice....

  • First I would like to say that Cree Summer is the most wonderful and passonate woman I have ever heard sing. I'm a 27 year old man and was going through a really rough time in my life and was really sad and depressed and this song helped me so much. As i listened to her powerful words, I cried alot and let all my feelings out and it helped me to express my feelings more. I learned that a person doesn't have to always bottle their feelings inside all the time, cry it out and you'll feel better.

  • @Jouri21 I cried too this song rull emotional and i love Cree Summer

  • GOD BLESS THE CHILD WHO GOT HIS OWN.PERIOD.

  • Really ?!!! 86,550 .... It should be millions !!! Love you Cree ... I saw you for the first time when I was 14 ! I'm 27 now and still your biggest fan !!! <3 U

  • I can't do anything - i only hear Foxxy Love.

  • At 1:36 Zoe looks like Alicia Keys.

  • I googled voice actors from "As Told By Ginger", and looked up the voice actor of the MEAN girl Miranda, and it's really cool to hear the voice of character Miranda sing o_o! Especially since it's so... the lyrics are so "not mean Miranda-ish"?! LOL God love her voice from Drawn Together too!

  • Where can I find this song as an mp3??

  • Ever since "A Different World " I always liked Cree Summer. Matter of Fact, all of the women I ever dated , Had Freddy's Persona and eclectic style,.. Outside of that, I just started listening to her about a year ago And I am impressed, honest. She is a dynamic Artist, and worth whatever price her CD cost and more..... Great Add.

    P.S.

    She also does Voice overs and has been in tons of cartoons

  • The Lord WILL save me after I let him. He only helps those who help themselves=]!

  • cannot find the lyrics -_- can someone help?

  • @Orisiya PM'd you with the link to the lyrics.

  • Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this! I am a huge Cree Summer fan. Her album Street Faerie is one of my most treasured possessions.

  • [i made an account just to ask this question,] xD

    is this song nowhere on itunes?

    i love it so much.

  • She's so amazing, a beautiful soul. These words of wisdom are words to live by.

  • Save yourself...that's real talk there.

  • I havent heard of her in so long! wow she can sing! This is my new favorite!

  • That lady singin is my aunt in law, be leave me or not.

  • i looove cree summer from ever since a different world, her character was so cute, funny, and she inspired me to beome better, also i love her character on rugrats(:

    she is so pretty!

  • Cree has always been one of my favorites. I love this one.

  • i love her voice 

  • powerful

  • This is one of the most BE YOU TO FULL songs I have ever heard. Cree Summers Words and Voice RESONATE within me PASSIONATELY. I can relate on more than one level. I am HALF CREE and HALF DUTCH. I belong to a Reserve in Canada as well. And, I have enough scars to last ten thousand lifetimes from the amount of (Neglect and Abuse) I have experienced in ONE lifetime. LOVE and RESPECT to CREE SUMMER. She is AMAZINGLY AWWWWSOME.

  • I live 40 mins from Red Pheasant Reserve! haha, and she actually stayed on my rez when she was young

  • she used to do the voice of miranda from as told by ginger.

  • Comment removed

  • I love how she belts it out!!! She's my favorite voice actress.

  • good stuff

  • i watch this show at drawntogetheronline . com

  • as told by ginger theme song♥♥

  • awesome song amazing artist i love it

    

  • @DeeElAe I find it interesting that newkid22 shares his convictions and a firestorm lights up in a few people...sad. Cree is crazy talented. Her songs are passionate and inspiring in many ways. She has helped me to think deeper about many areas of my life. Unfortunately she is still hurting and healing from all the pain in her past. That's what many of us connect with, is the genuine pain and hope in her songs. The thought to overcome tragedy and hard times. Who can't relate too that?

  • beautiful. thanks cree.

  • I love this artist.

    5 heart rating all the way ♥♥♥♥♥

    Peace Love Groove,

  • This sista is the truth!! I listen to this for inspiration.

  • That voice...so much power...

  • @DreamFashionTV God helps those who help themselves, isnt that what its said?. Im not catholic or religious, but I'm sure she says that in the sense of :dont sit around waiting for things to come your way, and do something about it.

  • @steviesniper I read the lyrics and I remember her saying "God can't save you, you better save yourself." but maybe I'm wrong.:(

  • @DreamFashionTV Dont get me wrong i still love Cree, that doesnt mean i dont.

  • @DreamFashionTV I think she does, or The Lord cant save you or something. But I guess its said in the sense that I meant: Faith without deeds is nothing. I dont think its said in an offensive way or anything...

  • lol susie

  • ~Love It~ :-)

  • thats right FOXXY!!!!!

  • i love this song....

  • OMG this is so hard to listen to.

  • Wicked. :D

  • this song goes out to all those who were born in a condition that they could not control, whether it is an alcohol-infested reservation or alcohol-infested segergated area of any major city...you can rise above the madness and save yourself...God helps those who help themselves, newkid22...

  • Every time I watch a certain cartoon with her voice I just always picture her face.

  • Anybody else get a little choked up watching this? I thought all we had was her '99 album, STREET FAERIE (which is STILL proudly on my MP3 player).

  • @les907 i know right, i got choked up but she is so the truth more people should check her out and really listen.

  • This is NOT lisa Bonet. It is Cree Summer..also in the video is Zoe Kravitz, Bonets daughter with Lenny.

    Cree Summer is NOT the girl in MJ's Black or White video.

  • There isn't a CD for the song, I went to Elevate Film website and I bought there Video so I will be able to put it on my zune so I can watch it anytime I want.

  • omg foxxy love!!!! hahaha sorry this song is pretty cool^^

  • i swear to fucking god if you were interviewed objectively at a psychiatrist youd be diagnosed as a psychotic. idiot.

  • Shut the fuck up you wack job!

  • lol... hey newkid22 . i take it 22 is ur age . live and learn . the good lord help those that help themselves . so , how bout u pass around the collection plate and shut ur yap ! get a clue , the bible is not a literal interpretation , nor are most songs . it's unfortunate u have religion up your ass and nothing in your head . wake up and Savior Self !

  • @newkid22 YO! SHUT DUH FUCK UP BITCH!

  • Comment removed

  • @newkid22.Understand what you said. this is what we are taught to believe. But, God is a great god, and saw fit to equipt up with this thing called Free Will. We can make our own life. Cree is saying for a people to get up and use your free will. To do this you may need more than prayer. that is all. She wants you to see yourself as your own savior. Be your own "god". We all take different things in diffrent ways. Just don't be so literal with everything. OPen up your box and look outside.

  • i agree with you even though i believe Jesus is The Saviour, i think he gave us the choice to be saved or not, that's how i understand the song

  • @MissStarKitty - you make great points. As a woman who was raised int he church and is still "in the church", i was also taught sort of the same way. My mom always says "God helps those who help themselves" and that's what comes to mind when I hear this song. If you're waiting for something to happen or waiting for a blessing without trying to make a way for yourself, it wont happen. That's not how salvation works.

  • @MissStarKitty Even during the crucifixion, the Bible says Jesus "GAVE UP the ghost"--that can be viewed as an act of doing for Himself so that God could grant Him salvation ;-)

  • Miranda "care for some dip?"

  • beautiful song! Excellent video. Man I wish she would put another CD out!

  • I agree... love her... and her msg... .

  • Yeah, and I want to play guitar / sing harmonies on it. Really! That would be a blast.

  • Cant help but think of Suzie Carmichael from Rugrats...

  • hm..

  • her and strong are amazing, one talented woman, would love to meet a woman like her in alabama, hey hey hey, her box is made of 100% bacon

  • Can someone please put this on limewire

  • Sometines people let you see their soul. I see cree's soul evertime i hear her sing. i think that she may be a truly beautiful person inside as well as out. it's something in her voice. i hope that she graces us with another album someday soon.

  • I always wanted to marry her!

  • Comment removed

  • i love this song...but especially from 2:10 to 2:24...wow!

  • Wow, she's as awesome a singer as an actress. Wish I could work with her someday.

    Wonder if she plays any of the instruments on this song.

  • Hi people I am a Cree First Nations person. Cree Summer is singing about our reserve called Red Pheasant (which means golden eagle tail feathers). This song is to us, we are to save ourselves from the destruction around us. She is singing about First Nations. Her family used to live on our reserve.

  • Now where's the rest of the foxxy's? ;D

  • Hey, hey, hey!

  • Rofl, man I love this chick.

  • This song is so deep, I love it. Likewise, I really love how she conveys the emotion in the video so passionately.

  • sing it, Foxy Love!!!!

  • 3:34-3:38 self respect, dignity, that's cool, i felt that

  • Thats susie from rugrats!

  • she also talked for Foxy Love from Drawn Together, and the black girl from code name kids next door...and countless other cartoons. Always the exact same voice, but it works for each individual cartoon.

  • Beautiful Lady. Beautiful Voice.  Beautiful Song. Thanks for posting this.

  • Two out of three ain't bad.

  • She is the last girl in the clip "Black or White" by Michael Jackson in morphing scene. She was so beautiful!!!!!! SO SWEET!

  • I'm sorry that wasn't Cree Summer in the black and white video. THey look simliar but that wasn't her

  • well this girl isnt cree... its lisa bonet!!! i read it somewhere...

  • really? hhahaha, maybe i dont understando you, because i have a poor english, but search her in any place, you can search "cree summer black or white michael jackson" in IMDB com or any place.

    you can see Cree Summer in the clip "Black or white" y the final

  • o really??? sorry!!! hahah maybe i just mistook somethin^^ heheh.. and by the way: your english is very good!!!

  • oh! thanks!! hahaha

  • Lyrics: Ever since I was a little girl In a house made of mud In a place called Red Pheasant Reservation I got some Frank Zappa I was nine years old He shook me down to my soul And I knew just what I would do But the world dont always give you everything And life aint always everything you dreamed Times steady changes And nothin really last And those friends they said theyd be there Well thats in the past.
  • Aint nobody gonna save you,

    Savior Self.

    And your momma she cant save you,

    Savior self.

    I loved a drummer boy,

    Played rock and roll.

    I knew this fool would make me whole.

    Make Yourself.

    Because the world dont always give you everything

    And love aint always what you thought itd be

  • Every time you fall somebodys there

    And every time you crawl somebodys there

    And you almost got burned but somebody was there

    So you never had to learn 'cause someone was there

    Aint nobody gonna save you,

    Savior self.

    The Lord cant save you

    You better save yourself

    Sunshine and everything is so right

    Aint nobody gonna save you.

  • Your black pearl, your white crow,

    Thats who you got to know.

    Terror its just a small thing

    Get ready for the burning, the yearing, the praying

    The wishing, the hoping, the dreaming

    (Save yourself? Savior self?)

    I wish I could save you

    But I got to save myself

    Aint nobody gonna save you

    (Save yourself? Savior self?)

  • Thank you sooooooooooooooo much <3333 I really really appreciate this:)

  • yea i fell in love with this song the first time i heard it and had to know what she was saying. lol i know it by heart now.

    your welcome :P

  • i love this song and im addicted but i cant find the lyrics anywhere!! please post if anyone knows where to find them thanks :)

  • wow to awesome this is my mom used to play with cree summer when they were kids cool cool

  • I LOVED IT!!!

    BRILLIANT!

    I see this as a story about a girl who broke free from the chains of mental and spiritual slavery imposed upon her by the gods of western "civilization", only to find her roots and discover who she truly is.

    This is a tribulation each soul must endeavor for themselves. Not Jesus, nor Allah nor Yahweh nor Buddha can take this journey for you.

    YOU ARE THE ONE! Savior Self!

  • Amazing song, love the simplicity of the video aswell, it didn't distract away from the song. Also love the fact it had Zoe Kravitz in it.

  • christian this, pagan that- i hate you, you hate me- we are all going to curse at each other on youtube and get really angry because it is such an affective method of....what does it accomplish again? it's a beautiful piece of art: something from someone's soul and if that ain't straight from god, well then i don't know what is... just take it for whatever it can be for you. That's the beauty of art-the intended meaning is lost and you get to make your own meaning when you experience it:) love

  • Comment removed

  • She is right on point. Savior Self. ...SAVE YOURSELF!!!
