This song is soooo smooth. Something you just roll to at 2:00am on a Saturday when your trying to clear your head.

@ 2:04, what the fuck was that nigga doing?

[latinlex28]

True...but esperanza plays a upright bass and sings at the same time. I get what your overall point is though.

2023 still listening.. <3

She's been around longer. They both retain their jazz sound roots, they both remain out of the pop light, preferring to be artists, and true to themselves, rather than become "products" of the pop system, which they could easily do. Amel has been recording since 1999.  That's how.

[latinlex28]

how is she a precursor to Esperanza?

[KevinSoap]

neither does she! At 39 she still looks pretty young. Beautiful. :)

Damn...I didn't know this was her song!!!

That's exactly what this song tells you. "I know you're down, I see your pain & struggles, but what are you gonna do to combat what's been holding you down. When you gon' get up?" I need to listen to this song every single day for the rest of my life. It's very motivational. Just makes me want to strive more.
