Lauryn Hill 'Selah'

[ladyjag121]

the divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood brought me here. beautiful song

[lovelymokah]

This song is so amazing! It is so beautiful to hear her surrender herself to God! It's like she is admitting and letting go of her stubborn ways! Accepting the fact that she can't be complete without him. Acknowledging God can fufill the void that she has been desperately trying to fill. Just beautiful

[lovelymokah]

Selah

[batalvitrinidad]

[Mijmerdemijmer]

Now I know where Selah Sue got her artistname :D ..She's a big star in Belgium .. she grow up with Lauryn Hill, and was u big inspiration for her .. SELAH SUE look it up ;) U WILL LOVE IT!!

[ButterflyFlow08]

[shebopamama]

lyrically one of the most brilliant compositions ever and her voice... exquisite

[PropheticSarahNell]

Love this! Especially love 5:04! First time hearing this song all the way through. What was I waitin' on?!

[bendebiase]

she is the best!

[reeceJyoung]

im not religious in any way at all, but i think that this songs describes a lot of people in my generation (im 17). we need to be thankful for something instead of feeling entitled and we should all do a little meditation. everyone is so busy trying to be who others think they should be, instead of finding themselves (or through religion). much love to lauryn and much love to katelovesrock20

thanks for posting this=]

[youtubmoe2010]

Lauryn, i know everyone ask "where ya been, come back, etc. the song simply explains it. love you girl praise and meditate  we all need it the world needs it.

[TheJamieBarrett]

love it

[talkalot91]

@ imaniawesome

at ANY given time.

say it girl.

[glamdoll143]

thank you for posting this! i love this song soooooooooo much !

[AnnieNo2]

"Oh I'm such a mess

I have no choice but to confess

That I've been desperately trying to belong

Lying to myself

And everybody else

Refusing to admit my right was wrong"

brought me to tears. first time I've listened to this. already in love.

[LouBabyy1]

I Fell In Love Wit This Song

[imfrickincrazy]

I FRICKIN LOVE THIS!!!

[70s80s90sNostalgia]

And a lot of people claim 2 kno Jesus but they really dont. u cant sell out and go hollywood and sell your soul to the devil and say u r a Christian. the Bible say that u cant love both God and money. matthew chapter 6 verse 24. Lauryn is special. as popular as alicia keys and yet she reps Christ. who else in hollywood or the music industry r doing that? plus lauryn makes beautiful music. come back L-Boogie.

[70s80s90sNostalgia]

She is special! best female rapper/female singer/female musician. her essence even exceeds beyomd her fugees group. altho wyclef is one of the greatest also. but i represent Jesus and i think Lauryn Hill may b the only 1 in mainstream worldly music who has a real relationship with Jesus Christ. Lauryn, please come back and grace the world with your gifts. Jesus is God!

[berdew1]

@70s80s90sNostalgia Amen! Jesus Is God!!!

[eastlondz]

why is Lauryns voice so beautiful???? girlz voice is in a CLASS OF ITS OWN!!! she'll always be my fav ;) x luv ya Lauryn x

[halimede]

anyone know where I can download this?

[ismael19993]

@halimede use the youtube to mp3 converter, to download it from here

[dahighbar]

This song is just Magical..so  beautiful!

[PropheSAY]

Why the K-Swiss logo? I almost clicked 'favorite'...

[lckenne1983]

Every note that comes out of your mouth sounds as though it came from above and puts my soul at rest please come back your true fans will always be here to lift you up no matter what the world says.

[JamaquinaCubana]

@lckenne1983 Yes! That's how I feel too! Her melodies (both voice & guitar) & lyrical truth overwhelms me to tears!! Each and every time! One of my eternally favourite musicians!

[sbgal13]

when did she record this?

[DRAEnt]

@sbgal13 2002 for "divine secrets of the ya-ya sister hood" sandra bullock movie

[emilyprince1]

I lose myself in her

[youngzacc]

This song is incredible.

[SelahRainTV]

I love Lauryn too. We all miss her. But perhaps she has done her work...

[tiyh3]

Lovely!



[liizziibabii17]

[lduvelle]

@liizziibabii17

You can get the PROPHET'S song on napster

[ElliotIam1]

her music is like living water... its endless and timeless Kingdom Music

[MrSameoleg]

Selah...



[dedeomari]

she is the reason i love music. this woman has been blessed with this awesome gift. im so inspired! cant get enough of it! this is real music/talent.

[rabbitoni]

lauryn hill miss youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu !!!

[Zebedoodah]

Thank you for putting this one-of-a-kind musical therapy session here! What a song.

You are right, SueannisCool, that's the movie.

[palmtree1978]

No pleasure is greater than a life serving the true and Living God. Our current existence is temporal so why trade in an eternity of light for the darkness of now? Much love to everyone trying to see beyond all of this...

[iriejah100]

@palmtree1978 jah bless u prophet..

[31MillerTime31]

Selah means, stop and listen.

Or, pause and think of that.

"Let those with eyes see and with ears hear"

I just checked wikipedia. I do my homework.

[aladdingee]

ALADDIN GEE--The super star was here to rate your video thumbs up

[crazee4bluey]

totally love this song! I heard it The Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood and fell in love with it!!!!!!!! I love this song and that movie!

[Trammelbach]

Lauryn I miss you soo much! love your incredible lyrics and your heavenly voice. Please dear angel make another album.

[stingrae69]

Selah is her daughters name

[smurfsgot1]

she and d'angelo put knowledge on us

[Jgangsta94]

Is this christian?

[lunarbachelor]

@Jgangsta94

the lrics were inspired by God, through likely her pain and emotion. The song is for everyone, but she herself is a believer. She sings about God (Jesus) when she says "and then he came"

[5656onelove5656]

many want lauryn to release more music like The Miseducation. Id be perfectly happy if she was to release more music like this. I wish she would.

[cj06feb]

This song is mindblowing aaaahhhh Love't

[crazee4bluey]

@SueannIsCool yep this is in The Divine Secrets of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood!!!! i love this song and i love that movie!!!

[iisadoraf]

She retired cause the market is dominated by iluminati organization Sorry but the world is at war .... TV IS A SHITT for the mind

[reganko]

lauryn hill's best song, this track is sooo underrated

[aurabalaura]

maan I cant believe I ve never heard this song...but damn whatever she sings it is BEAUTIFUL...because she loved to do it, you can feel this in her voice...in all her songs. Again that voice that touches my soul.

I wish you all the best Lauryn...and also I wish for you to come back...and sing us more pure, powerful songs as you used to. One love forever.

[MrSameoleg]

Yes, praise and celebration to the most high!

[sskkyyblu7]

>>>>peace and meditatiion

[TeamMiseducation]

Selah is also the name of her daughter.

[MelinaMagicPants]

HE CAME

[johnsnev]

Wo. Rastafari . Selah

[itsjaasmine]

me tooo! haha, i had never heard it before i watched that movie. but i love it now <3

[Armonipooh]

what is the name of the movie???

[itsjaasmine]

@Armonipooh "divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood" (:

[SeggenGhi]

God bless u. Make him proud and praise him wiv ur music

[Krissennd]

You ripped my heart out and never blinked

[Krissennd]

exactly where I am. reminded that God is my rock and always my shoulder... every line seems ripped from the depths of heart. : (

[amaruby2u]

Let me say this first, he that has no sin let him throw the 1st stone. As Christians we are so quick to comment on a splinter in our neighbor's eye when we have a log struck in our own eyes. Jesus commissioned us to love one another and spread the Good News of Jesus Christ, Him Crucified, the ways of a lot of so called Christians is to down people where they are saved or not. Have you ever thought that it might have been you that God sent to minister to these persons for the Glory of His Kingdom

[KDW1212]

amaruby2u...as christians? we are so quick to comment....or as humans.

[lady777121]

She's a Christian now-Selah is in the bible. Gwarn Lauryn ;-)

[MizShinobi1]

shes not even jewish. she goes to bible study man.

[uniqueone4lyfe]

this is such a beautiful song...x

[SandraBBiggestFan]

that's so beautiful :) it's on the divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood<3

[satomipanki]

i think she talks more about "thruth" than "poetry".

[cnadymaker123]

this song is not about her daughter.

[biglew516]

THE TRUE JEWS ARE NEGROES !!

[dreamweaver34]

The Jews were scattered throughout the whote world. Today, some of them are European Jews, others are Jews in America, Ethiopian Jews and so on. I am a black man who studies the Word of God and the truth is that the Jewish line is not only found in the black race.

[jheanel100]

im a youngster ..nd i grew up hearing about lauryn hill... i love her music nd poetry tooo .. probably too much .. i would really love to see her perform or even say a few words

[GODHOLYGIRL]

ahhhh iLUV HER POETRY AND SONGS..wish she wud make more poerty ni a days...

[zion3631]

Lauyrn, my sister where are you. We miss you so much. Are like me taking care of your young ones for that day to come. We miss your sweet sweet voice the Most High have blessed you with. I pray to our Heaven Father all is well with you and we love you... without the industry.

[dmin51289]

@zion3631 amen

[31MillerTime31]

@zion3631

I think she's coming backkkk.

She's got a new song.

It's called "Repercussions."

[RockMeLinda]

I love this song!!

[IslandSuferBoy6895]

the song about about her daughter selah

:)

[UniqueTush]

reading through the comments i feel like some 'fans' dont understand what L.Boogie is trying to say......all her songs shes singing about Babylon and the selling of souls within the music industry......i believe thats why she left......carefully listen to her lyrics of lost ones

[IMANIAWESOME]

i can really relate to this song especially "oh im such a mess i have no choice but to confess that ive been desperately trying to belong lying to myself and everybody else"

Lauryn is one of the few singers who really captures my emotions at any given time

[freedome7]

beautiful...

[cushe83]

you know lauryn's daughter?

[5BronxExp]

so Im assuming your from South Orange then?

[prerb]

@5BronxExp no i lived there then i moved, but i still know her

[papayi139]

much love to lauryn Hill for this song n give thanks in da name of the most high KING SELASSIE DA 1st n da LAST RASTAFARI..SELAH

[meiks22]

omg..dis helped my mood perfectly

[deejanaeLOVE]

this is such a beautiful song and beautifully sung by lauren hill who has a soulful voice that speaks the truth . love xx

[J2Cam85]

It's so sad!

[msraymond]

beautiful!!

[Dirtyxhandsxclean]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[namloly]

love this song!! i fell in love with it when i saw the movie.

and guys rock in hebrew is sela,but pronunced totally diffrent,it's used a lot in the hebrew bibble and is another work for amen and praise ,and also a name of a city from david and salomon time...

[JClovesme92]

Where's this song from? Has it been officially released?

[SueannIsCool]

I think it was in the movie "the divine secrets of the Ya-Ya sisterhood"

[theeladybug305]

@SueannIsCool yea yea it was i been searchin for this song for a good while

[budgetcooking]

@SueannIsCool yeah it was. i wateched it yesterday and recognized Lauren's voice so i looked it up and found it. :)

[peacemakerandrebel]

i think she song it on lauryn hill mtv unplugged

[albread]

It is translated into today's general language with the meaning: think about it or praise [the Lord]. Other editions just leave it untranslated as "sela" or "selah

[artificialview]

selah means rock in hebrew

not to be confused with selasie which means trinity

[SandyWerthy]

No it doesn't.

[cococree]

love love dis song

[Zmatheson20]

Selah is the name of her Daughter

[diklarasta]

its an hebrew word thet means pause, reflection, within the context of a prayer or psalms. and its taken from the hebrew bible

[SandyWerthy]

So far you're the only person that has the meaning correct. It's written numerous times in the bible next to passages in italisized print. It literally means that you should ponder or reflect upon a particular passage of the written word of god!

[2theyellowhouse]

thank you for posting this song!!

[katiecranfield]

what a beautiful song <3

[rastacity1]

Jah Rastafari

[michelvaliented]

no man selah is from the last ethiopian emperor, Selah Selassie, the one rastafari venerates as the last reencarnation of jesus. in fact ras means duke and tafari means his first name. so she is singing beatifullly for his god

[ilove2sing23]

Selah is in the Bible.

[ballpark4]

selah was a sell out... Marcus was the real...

[queenelbow]

selah is not a person.. I think u are thinking of haile selassie ... Selah is in the bible mostly after a psalm that is when the most high is telling us did u think about what he just said . She explains it in the song as well

[ballpark4]

yup you right :)) . I was not thinking nor listening cuz i heard it before i was reading comments and that is why i said what i said :O)) So i correct my error haile selassie was a sell out and Marcus Garvey was the one people should learn about.. Both went through things but Garvey was actually doing

[Persephonie22]

This song is so beautiful. Also one of my favorites of Lauryn Hill. These lyrics really got to me. The first time I've heard it was from the 'Devine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood'. Which was a sweet & wonderful movie. I hate the fact that this song is so underrated. I just don't get it. =0~

[strangesheree]

That's where I first heard it too

[ldover]

I'm usually not a fan of acoustic pieces, but this is by far one of my favourite songs. And then he came...

Definitely a hidden gem.

[lovely90sbaby]

man, i cried when i heard this song, it spoke to me on many levels i felt every lyric and cherished it...

[daskorpian]

nothing can be done against the truth no matter how much we remain in denial......huge statement!

[howazakaria2]

peace love and i have fun

[1loveisu]

love this song

[KrumpNikka]

the most underrated lauryn hill song..

[Persephonie22]

Ain't that the fhruth!

[Bonitaymorena]

OMG Now I know where Selah sue the Belgian soul/ragga singer got her name from!!! Wow I'm so late!! I mean she looks up to Lauryn Hill so it makes perfect sense.

[rebeccazakreski]

can anyone tell me which album this is from?

[sistasumthin]

Its from a soundtrack, Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood. One of my favorites.

[selahsmom1]

My daughter's name is Selah, when I saw it in the Bible I knew that'd be my child's name...the definition I found is "to praise or uplift"...I love this song!

[tiababy1177]

Selah means "stop and think of this" or "pause and reflect"

[all4god116]

if you read the book of Psalms they mention Selah at the end of many verses..i always selah meant death, got it mixed up with Sheol..not the same thing obviously lol. it does mean a musical term

[rlthegreatst]

When she says Selah she isn't talking about her kids!!! Selah is in the bible which mean amen!!!! like 77SoUIJaH77 said! lol! y'all gettin all off looool!!!

[levar1979]

Wow, this is why Lauryn is considered one of the greatest R&B artists ever. So, richly talented.

[KJ3wood]

Selah is her son not her daughter

[Jssavage2009]

but I dont think shes singing to him/her

[QuanIzDaBest1]

Selah is her daughter her full name is Selah Louise Marley

[lunarbachelor]

beatiful and true God Really uses her

[moa1girl]

Awesome song...doesn't really matter how we analyse her music it gives a message that is always thought provoking and deeply personal to her and her life...massive stuff..luv it

[BackseatPoet]

selah is always next to the psalms in the Bible.....and doesn't she even say that it means "praise and meditation"

[heartafterHim]

she says the meaning at around 3:51-3:52

[Stiletoseven]

this term Selah... I think has some double meaning going on. If you look the word up, it essentially means a pause or break in song for reflection. And the way in which she inserts the word makes me think that was a part of it when she wrote this... but again just a theory... only she really knows. But foremost, I think Selah is her daughter. And the same reasons she probably chose the name for her, are a part of this song as well.

[77SoUlJaH77]

selah means amen

[Stiletoseven]

that's not the only interpretation.

[keemonta]

she says it plainly in the song "selah oh and it means praise and meditation, did you think about that, that it is sealed".

[truthis1934]

Also, "he" God is her savior.

[truthis1934]

I think the song is an open letter from mother to daughter about avoiding the pitfalls that Lauryn herself fell victim to. I think that is why she says Selah "did you think about that". She wants her to reflect on her actions before she makes them. I think this song will be very important to Selah as she grows into womenhood.

[skugl23]

This is about her daughter SELAH.

[rendition55]

Why does she say "and the HE came" then, not saying you're wrong.

[Stiletoseven]

maybe "he" is suppose to represent "god."

[rendition55]

Maybe, but then why does she say "Selah", directly afterwards. But anyway, who cares.

[Stiletoseven]

Selah... is her daughter ... and she sees god in her children. She already used that lingo with Zion... not in the same way.. but that's what got me thinking how she may view god in relation to her children. just a theory.

[sofitelle]

Lauryn hill has made many christian songs their just not upfront christian.. u have to really listen to the song like i gotta find of piece of mind and tell him.. her voice is so amazing.. the new album is long awaited

[nvballer3]

lauryn hill says she is a christain but i havent heard her sing enything christain but dont judge her cause she can always turn her life around if she havent already but who cares cause she can sing her tail off i love her music expecially zion
