  • I am not understanding negativity with this video.God is good and he gave us a freedom of choose.No negative person can give me anything,I only hear and embrace positivity.Love is always the way.I Love you even though you spoke negative and I Love India Arie for speaking to the soul and comforting it with her smooth sound.Sometimes we need comfort.Not trying to push a view only to Love and comfort you.For sometimes our soul needs healing,RIVER RISE.[Love Always]

  • ah......gosh bump..

  • Wtf, video is at 111,100 Views

  • 6 people drowned in the river ,

  • @lameizcool01 lmAO good1

  • 6 people have a hearing problem!

  • She is truly an amazing lyricist...her songs speak to me and touch my heart!

  • BREATHTAKING...........One word that can be expressed to accurately describe the brilliance & passion of the music of India Arie........her personal intelligence & physical beauty......and oh yeah, the overwhelming charm & beauty of this song....."River Rise". India, quite simply, appears to be too intellectually stimulating for the "average" music fan of today. That would SOMEWHAT explain the lack of recognition & accolades that she has so richly earned....but has yet to receive. I love her.

  • @aliquippawill I AGREE!!!!

  • Thumbs up if the movie 35 and Ticking brought u here!!!

  • @ashcali22 Yes sir.. I heard it before, but that was the hardest part of the movie..

  • @alphamanKC Yes it was... That was sooo messed up on so many levels.

  • @ashcali22

    3 THUMBS UP!!!!

    Although I hated that scene of the movie!!

  • @ashcali22 it reallydid man that was so fucked up

  • India sings from her heart & deep down in her soul. It's amazing how she can put words to paper & tranform them into a song. I love her songs because they reflect something that I've gone through,going through or just simply accepting me for who I am. She's an amazing artist because she has perfected her gift from God with each album/song she presents to the music industry/fans. I listen daily to her music because it's classic beauty and joy.

  • l.o.v.e river rise!!!! 

  • just a beautiful baeutiful song so can relate an just pure ignorance down below like someone said jusy enjoy the song all them side convos is so unecessary smh my God!

  • I love Indie Arie...

  • i agee she is so underrated , but she is getting her greatest praise by her best and ever , we will always support her , by purchasing whatever she put out to the world.

  • BEAUTIFUL SONG FROM A BEAUTIFUL ARTIST!! she is so underrated but her works are great,,,, Im inspired everyday to be a tranquil and insightful as she has grown to be

  • Does Everybody's Mother have to get on here andd . preach/ give a testimony?? just enjoy the song , and promote India .

  • @butinbranes amen to that, lol

  • everybody need to face the fact that they have a little type of evil in them regardless

  • I don't understand why people who don't belive in the most high even comment on threads that christans are on. I don't comment on child porn sites. If jesus is not your thing leave us alone and do something that concerns you it's not like your trying to help anyone it's just annoying!!!

  • @dirty17delf Because we're interested in the content itself, and find threads that affect us personally. You have no right to say that people who don't agree with you have to leave. I, for one, am not religious, but this song is beautiful. Both groups of people are saying what they feel. To censor one side because it bothers you is ridiculous.

  • @Ptoras 

  • @Ptoras It's because it's STUPID to bother people with views that you know will make them upset just for the reason of being ASSHOLES excuse me for my poor choise of words! But you're right to say whatever you want is true i can't take away from you thats why religous people came here to excape people who wanted to censor there choise to live the way they wanted to not non-regious people so YOU'RE WELCOME FOR THE FREEDOMS WE GAVE YOU

  • @MrJerBears Lady Gaga is pure evil, she sold her soul, Satan is in every song has. Look closer.... in the alejandro vid she actually eats the rosary beads, there are a bunch of baphomet signs and she has an upside down cross on her CROTCH, what does THAT say? All we can do is pray for her to find a way back to Jesus!

    ]

  • this song moves me to tears:}

  • i cant get enough of this song !!! i love sheeeeeeeeee... lol

  • Okay. How do people manage to argue under an india arie song?? isnt she like the most peaceful neo soul artist? lol wow.

  • Why? Why can we not just agree to disagree instead of reducing ourselves to name-calling like "loser" and "retard" because you can't see eye to eye on something? If he thinks Lady Gaga "utters junk" that's his opinion he is entitled to...this IS America. I agree she inspires people to be themselves, however there is a more mature approach to sharing what's on one's heart & mind than to act in that manner in retort. Continue to LISTEN to India's music. Learn more patience & humility. Peace <3

  • hallejhah!

    

  • Yes Lord i need you!

  • Only 98 000+ hits?!!!!!....strange how someone like Lady Gaga can get 2 billion for utter junk...the imbalances of the wrold *SIGH*

  • @Mannyboy1983 FYI You Loser, Lady Gaga Inspires People To Be Themselves And Not Who Retards Like You Say They SHould So Stfu And Actually Learn Good Music!!!!!!!

  • @MrJerbearz how does she inspire ppl to be themselves when she's mocking and blaspheming the Bible. Its a temporary false feeling because she's not operating in a way in which she truly cares about the well being of ppl, if that was the case she wouldn't be putting a bunch of crap about Jesus in her vids and songs all the time, all the crap in her vids and songs are so obvious yet ppl STILL continue to defend her, but don't nobody wanna defend the person who died for all of us. TSK TSK.

  • @reese92xx Well Actually She Does Care And If You Weren't Compltley STUPID You Would Realize That Judas Isn't Even About Religion It's About Forgiveness And How Her Boyfriend Cheated On Her And Stuff And That She Keeps Going Back To Him And She Is Only Using Religion As A Mask And If You Actually Heard The Song You Would Know And Also She Does Care About People And She Is Talented And Amazing [Much Unlike Yourself] So Truly Listen To The Lyrics And You Will Understand!

  • @MrJerbearz, Thank you bro 4 real talk!

  • @TheBluberripie Anytime... Teaching Morons That Mo†her Mons†er Is Amazing Is Awwsomeeeee

  • @MrJerbearz Funny how the video does not portray that AT ALL. If you're going to speak of something like that, there is no need for men riding bikes with jackets that have the apostles names on the back of them, there's no need for a dude walking around with a crown of thorns, or washing of feet. You don't compare things like that to such things in the bible. I didn't know you knew Lady Gaga personally, I would assume you do by the way you speak of her.

  • @reese92xx Whatever, You Don't Understand Crap About Anything

  • @reese92xx Blind submission I see, u should read more books not just the bible. Teach yourself to love, she's phenomenal, Im sorry to say this but you yourself dont sound anywhere close to her tranquil state of mind. This is good music for good people! Peace out!

  • Child molesters Rapist and Murders claim to be just being themselves. Sometimes we need to have better self control everthing about us is not beautiful being yourself is just an excuse to do whatever you want regardless to if it's right or wrong!!!

  • Love the harmony

  • Love this song!!! Love the visual!!

  • Love this song!!!

  • SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG

  • WOW!!!!! What powerful song. It's soft ,soothing, relaxing & calm to the soul. It puts me in a glow where I escape all my problems & just take the lyrics of this song in & just feel like my skin has been kissed by the sun. I love India, she's the total package & there are no comparisons.

  • @myhappyness1 bless you for that....you said it in 1. This is a very powerful/spiritual song x

  • ...but then, who am I to say! lol

  • I love this song.it just gives me a serine feeling and just calms me down.her voice is so beautiful.we need more REAL singers like her right now.A job well done....

  • @MsSwaggtastic12 amen lolzzz and im only 11 and i know thts the truth

  • angelic peaceful and just plain beautiful thank you God in Christ name for sending me this angel with a song just for me

  • I believe, God is everything, everyone, and everywhere.  God has no division. God is love. Religion = Division.

  • i love that she always stays true to herself there for she will never be as big as some other artist but that's why i love her music.

  • " i been flying blind i need you to come & be my eyes " love that line !

  • It's nice to see some intelligent post! As stated, she definitely believes in GOD and speaks about GOD in several of her songs. I am not sure how she identifies him, whether it be, Jesus, Buddha, Jah, etc. I like that she keeps this a mystery. It allows her audience/listeners to make it relate to their beliefs. LOL, wait a minute. I hear her say, LORD I need you at 3:38. Check it out.

  • I wonder if she believes in Jesus or accepts him as God tho...Cuz i read somewhere that she is into "spirituality", and a lot of her songs have quite a special message that you would think she would be singing about God. But then she never directly sings about Jesus/God. I mean she could still have beliefs, but some people are quite 'on the fence' and perhaps brought up as a certain type of christian but are into other things...anyways im not sure but i love her music :)

  • @lozzymagoo

    I don't personally know her so i can't say i'm one hundred percent sure of her sure of her spirituality but i believe she believe in God because she has a song titled, "GOD IS REAL" and most of her songs do sound as if she's singing about Him. check it out on youtube & hit me back if possible, if it helps with your question.

  • @RenoraLewis Yeah i can see she believes in "a God" but i dont know if she believes in Jesus. I havnt got the impression yet that she does, and also people into 'karma' and spirituality tend to have a belief in 'a God' but obviously are not Christ followers.

    I love her music tho!

  • @lozzymagoo - I believe she knows exactly who is "The Living Water"... Hence the lyrics/title River Rise .She does not explicitly state Jesus or God or Holy Spirit directly or should I say regularly because she is a secular artist. What makes it great is that she can speak to the masses more directly because for some reason there is a stigma to openly worship God. Some people still have the mindset that worship or giving admiration only belongs in church (that baffles me to this day).

  • @mzthang0519 Yeah i get you!...I think its just the sterotype of being "Christian". Its that word! People run a mile when I say Christian...but maybe there's a subtle message in her music although she just might not be a 'born again Christian'.

  • I still do not understand why is the subject "Jesus",think about it,shouldnt we be thanking GOD the one who created "Jesus"? Its like no one believe in GOD now days!

  • @vivy2 If Jesus is the subject of our thanks, we are inevitably giving thanks to God. No one can get to God except through Jesus, so He works as our intercessor. Vice versa, there are many who believe in God, but do not acknowledge Jesus. That is what separates Christianity from all other religions and beliefs. Romans 7:25 says "Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!..." But I understand where you are coming from.

  • @chutzpah3 thank you for understanding...:)

  • This song soothes my soul and centers me. 

  • Comment removed

  • Simply beautiful song!!!

  • There was always a power I could feel

    It was guidance to tell me the way to go

    But nowadays I feel like I can't hear that voice

    I've been flying blind

    I need You to come and be my eyes

    River rise, carry me back home

    I cannot remember the way

    River rise, carry me back home

    I surrender today

  • The richness and depth of India's spirit has taken her music to a new level. This is amazingly moving!

  • This song is like the soundtrack to my life. Its kinda sad but true.

  • Heavenly little sister, wow I remember when you were still in high school and look at you now! I also think of you whenever we go through this little town in the desert, yeah you guessed it, "Cal-Nevi-Ari". God bless you, and see you in the air when Lord Jesus soon comes for us, and can't wait for your concerts at the bema. Let the rivers of living water flow out of you.

Out of all the ppl that have been born, died and will be born thruout the earth's existence, he cares about each of us as if we are the 1st 2 be born and the only 1 who exists! Lord, idk y u luv us so! "What is man that u r mindful of him? All I want 2 do is plz u!!! I hope that the songs i write will impact ppl's lives just as this 1 does!!!!
