Noel Gourdin - The River

[symone09]

Awesome song! The main girl is pretty,she looks like a Barbie..

[dezzelify]

So cool in what he do..

[027Willie]

great song



[SuperPlayboy89]

Dis Boy BADDDD, But Y Is He So Underated.

[theoneonlymrsbiber]

@SuperPlayboy89 He's Underated Because He Doesn't Degrade Women, Cuss Every 5 Minutes, Have An Upbeat Tempo, Have Half Naked Girls Shaking There Behinds Around, Fancy Cars, He Isn't Making It Rain, And Number 1, He Isn't A Rapper. Shaking My Head. The Music Industry Has Gone Into A Black Hole. Music Used To Have Meaning, Now It's All About Getting Money And Making It Rain. I Honestly Don't Know What Happened. Music Is Like Candy. Throw Away The Rappers.

#Missing The Real Music </3

[SuperPlayboy89]

@theoneonlymrsbiber I Agree

[earthydreama32]

[AllStarComedian]

[aprilchappell]

[MyPureBeauty10]

[tylerg15073]

[momentstocheerish]

Z ADORES this song sing it over and over in my head!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moonbeandanyse]

this song makes me cry because this was played at my granny's funeral.

[tonettek]

This song already had a video. All you needed to do is to visualize what you were singing about. This video takes so much away from the song. Too bad!!! Next time you do a song with such a strong message, there is no need to try improve upon perfections. Why is "Minds playing Tricks on Me" the best video ever? Cause it is what it is. And that is what this should have been!!!!

[Tacoma1993]

Top Comment kinda has NOTHING to do with my favorite song. Anyone to explain this or should I just shut up and enjoy the music? Never-mind I in music mode.

[IamKushiro2]

luv this song!!!!!!!! and he is soooooooooooo cute

[tsub07]

Yea that's tru... tha video spoke a different msg than the song itself but the song is cold!!!!

[YourHomieHenry]

I remember when I herd this song on the radio for the first time. I thought that was Jahiem singing.

[75ebbie]

This is real and raw. I love TRUE music.

[JubileeAway]

Awwwww!!!!

[Jasonthamixtape]

when i heard this i thought it was anthony hamition lol i like this song good work

[katofromgreenhornet]

Thank you Steve Harvey for introducing this song to me

[luz4mj1995]

I heard this in my dads car... Loved it ever since

[cortconn12]

he is one of the best singers ever

[MyJunior1975]

Produced by Kay Gee of Naughty By Nature!!!!

[LadyCiss]

the words to this song and the video do not relate whatsoever. um, excellent songwriting, performing, etc but the video doesn't do this song or performance justice.

[dezale19]

checkout this song i song by tank i cant make you love me subscribe, comment, and like it if u feeling it

[pinkcoach182]

[MsFalon1]

this song is very deep. this video is terrible.

[blacquebuttafly]

love this song & this artist. he is truly a work of art made by God's own hands.

[Damadehierro89]

ONLY 400,000 views?! What in the world? How in the hell Rebecca Black can have more views than an actual artist? Shame!

[sanggurl16]

This song is so beautiful. It made me cry

[badazzfirefighter]

Now this song is what's up! The other "Beautiful" was "Ugly" but this here joint could be the jam if radios would play it. Does he need a new publicist or what because NO ONE HAS HEARD OF HIM! That is sad... such natural and raw talent! He might want to rethink his "people" that he has pushing his music cause look like they are pushing it with kids hands and not letting him go anywhere!

[shanithekidd]

this cat from the sip

[Kobby2786]

@princesszania He should be played on the radio. i have his whole collection of cds

[misspacman1984]

I am a big fan of Goudin's "The River" I wish more R&B songs were as thoughtful as this one. #music #instantclassic

[MrERRTHING]

[kopealoc]

I'm old school, so this reminds me of the River baptisms. Also reminds me of the love of my life--my wife.

[shadowh1]

Love this song. Reminds me of the past being together ... one last time before the funeral, a decade plus ago

[coilsncurls]

This is one of the most under rated songs... very smooth

[kalidon301]

Dear Vevo,

I am writing this letter as 1/4 of my time on youtube is spend on watching your advertisement. I do appreciate that you must have an advertisement, but at the beginning of every fucking video? Your advertisment will be best placed at the END of the video. AS most of the products you are advertising are SHIT and doesnt have anything to do with the music video.

Thank you for your time and I hope you consider my suggestion.

[sillysadieify]

@kalidon301 Aha, i love this.. You made my day. (:

[Amy82010]

i love it!!

[diamondtiara2008]

[xogirlz123]

@jallisah14 lol me too, but they wouldn't let him

[unruhcarey]

I love the song but the video wasn't what I expected. It would have been good if it were shot down south and was a little less city and a little more bayou.

[WWEdude624]

omfg this was my song back in da friggen day i cried listin to this hardwood classic

[mizzstlbaby]

does anybody know where the shooting location was in the video?? it favors some of my home streets but ya know favor dont mean it is.

[lashavio]

[jazzylia]

it bothers the mess out of me that this man isn't more popular, he's got an awesome voice.

[ladystalker101]

@jazzylia

i know right but think about it ...sex sales he's not singing about sex or fucking bitches and eaing cooch so they don't put him out there ... he reminds me of musiq soulchild

[BossWOman420]

@ladystalker101  its nice to have this music ionstead of the violent, swearing we're used too

[GangstaDiva16]

This is some really good music... He should be bigger than this..

[Shellytina]

@fullmoonanime53 congrats!

[thesunwillshineonme]

this song is really nice i love the soulfulness of his voice and the meaning behind the song

[babinida22]

Its a shame REAL music like this just gets swept under the rug... ---The song is amazing

[lovinnis]

the song is wonderful but the the video sucks......no visual of the chorus!! no real river, not church and no grandpa, no thoughts of yesteryear

[bigsexyblondiedreads]

@lovinnis I gotta co sign that the whole song takes all us country boys back home (little rock, ark) and the song is off the hook and whats pitiful is the record company wouldnt put enough money behind this cat and paint the picture of what he is saying everything on the hook should have been visualized I mean if you gonna take us back take us all the way back

[FunSized1822]

Dis song is off da chain mane dis me & mi big sis. fav song lol : )

[samuelle]

WHY DON"T WE HEAR MORE ARTIST LIKE HIM...the one's who can really sing... and have quality lyrics don't get heard. And the ones singing about "poking your booty out" get played over and over on the radio and video stations. WHAT's WRONG WTH us? Why do we settle???!!! I am a Joel G fan and look forword to hearin gmore from him!!!

[Vargo0071]

Maaaan wow... This is my first time hearing this guy and hes an AWESOME TALENT... seems a bit under-rated. It sucks when gifted people dnt get the acknowledgement they deserve.. makes me wonder.

[indierulz64]

@Vargo0071 Agreeeddd ... wish he was more recognized. LOVE THIS SONG!! He's got more tunes like this??

[Vargo0071]

@indierulz64 LOL Ikr. Uhhh dunno =\.

[weekendwarrior8404]

1st time listening to these lyrics, and the melodies alone, brings tears to my eyes. I didn't think they wrote songs like this anymore!  ^_^ BRAVO!!!

[ASOULFULBLESSINGS1]

I SAY YES TO THE RIVER!!

[Kimberly2013OleMiss]

I love this song...his vocals are amazing...I love the video and Mississippi <3 !!!!

[nospaces08]

I absolutely love this song!

[youngknight04]

This song was too great not to give my man Noel Gourdin a country setting it's okay though the song still is the shit but they could of gave him a better director or something

[Mac4211]

@youngknight04 agreed country setting would of put this song over the top.

[jiga06]

@youngknight04 i was thinkin the same thing, that it wus gunna be a southern country video, that really wudda brought it out

[Smileyfacedkiller]

This is the first time I've seen who made this song. I always pictured it would be some chubby dark skinned dude. I guess it's the voice, it sounds so deep and there's so much soul to it.

[youngroy47]

this is one of my favorite songs... I did a cover to it... check it out and let me know what you think.... noel gourdin is one of those artist that you feel his music....

[BadBoyToonz]

This is my Favorite song.

[tham7a]

Love It!

[WhoDatBarbie]

thats my step brother lance uncle .when i go to boston i be wit noel all the time ima be on his next album. lol

[Jettrice]

The song is beautiful, but this is the worst video ever! It has nothing to do with the song!  You would think with the depth of the lyrics that they'd incorporate rural scenes and I don't know maybe a RIVER! >:-/

[BadBoyToonz]

@Jettrice they did, they show a river on a screen lol, but i get what your sayin, this aint the music video i expected for this song. But its still a GREAT song.

[NOLUVINCTV]

I LUV THIS TRACC!!!! :)

[mrhitthemhard]

[ashalynreed]

hater

[fnurfeg]

i love this to cause it got old school southern style

[UTBigVic]

I like this song. Shouda shot it in Mississippi tho. Looks like Boston

[crudup1015]

Truthfully if they shot this is Mississippi, the video would make sense, considering he is contemplating going "back to the place" - back home - so he technically wouldn't be home and thinking about going home at the same time.

[MissKissy5400]

lolx true

[knowledgeandpower07]

yea u right....it is boston....he's from there

[knowledgeandpower07]
