Myself dear
Me
This video made me start writing poetry, and a decade later, I’m releasing my chapbook!
Love to you ❤️
wait why are you waiting a decade to release your chapbook?
@@nirajshah5411haha no, I came across this a decade ago. I’m releasing the book in March. Ironically she’s coming to the UK in April and I get to see her
After hearing something like this you can never be the same...
Yessssssss
@@joselinekouwo Definetely
💕
For real! ❤😂
Then, some of us have wondered if love will ever be this deep, encompassing our mind, body, and soul.
Never waste your feelings on people who don't value your emotions
Word!💯
That part 👌💯
Easy to say
Preach
Yes!,,,,
Lyrics: Poetry: How Does It Feel? - Akua Naru
yeah... yeah...
love. aha. hey. love, I told you all,
we would be the band to play it.
my ghetto butterfly flew away from me,
I wait patiently. by windows and doorsteps,
play make believe as my tears pour to chest
won't succeed to breathe if not the hear of you.
surely there never been a shade so blue
a stank attitude, so not mad at you
not a magnitude to encompass the latitude of my love for you.
no space or time compatible
what do I have to do.
what do I have to do.
oooh my friends say i got it bad for you.
I do, but there's nothing in this world i would rather do,
but you....
I want to make love to your existence.
drenched in the colors of your energy,
then masturbate to the memories.
I wanna lose myself inside yourself.
until you find me, confine me, to freedom, of your prison.
exist in the same space, same time
combine.
until your thoughts slow grind with mine
combine.
until your thoughts slow grind with mine.
combine.
until your thoughts slow grind with mine.
My, I want to drink the sweat off your intellect
reflect, and watch your light passion off my neck
caress the sight of your presence with no question
undress, to the nakedness of love, pure love
I want to make love to my soul mate. my soul mate.
make love to my soul mate
my soul mate
make love to my soul mate
shit.
I wonder how does it feel to make love to your soul mate.
kind of like writing poetry till climax.
till the point and place where our space and time match,
and we, cross divine paths. tell me would you like that.
now how would like that
tell me would you like that
would you like that
tell me would you like that
would you like that.
im asking you again now
tell me
would you like that.
tell me
would you like that.
now would you like that.
tell me
would you like that.
tell me
I wanna love you more than madly.
wrap these legs, around your words.
until your speech is straddled deep, gladly
swim the currents of your vibrations
be separate and one
with the same meditation
with the same meditation
you know what, this right here
is poetry...

Still listening to this in 2024 (11 years later)
If you never just sat back and relaxed with a blunt or some wine while sitting in the dark with this playing on your speaker .. you haven’t lived 🌊✨🌬
See u , u i like u !
Exactly this, but with a beer instead of wine and the blunt 🤯😂
I'm right there
I miss my baby. Passed May 23, 2023. I’ll never forget listening to this with her.
Akua is the name given to females born on Wednesday among the Akan people of Ghana in Africa
her roots are nigerian, though.
Lmao
She's my once-every-Wednesday from now on!!!
Today being the second loop-day, but first Wednesday!
Beautiful :) in arabic, "akua" sounds like a world we also have and that means "strongest"
Wednesdays child is full of woe
I was born on Wednesday too
Man, she is so gorgeous...her voice is so hypnotic.
+FR amps absolutely incredibly sexy, beautiful, talented, WOW
FR amps
It's not only the voice. Women CAN be erotic.
It's also the sound of the guys.
This song is pure lovemaking, from dusk to dawn! Thank you Akua
This is pure art
Some of us are getting pregnant
Some of us are getting turned on
Some of us are simply enjoying
Some of us are hypnotized
Some of us fell into meditation listening to this ❤️
absolutely
not a lot of answers to this 2 bad
And some of us are healing! Poetry saves lives and somewhat more importantly... souls. We will be alright.
I am getting all the them
hot🥰🔥🥰🔥🥰🌈🌞🌈
two million children were conceived to this
Anni Abuhl 😂😂😂 I definitely love uuuu!! Right right right :)))
HAHAHA yup
lol...💖
Bruuuhhh 😂🙌🏾
Anni Abuhl Believable actually.
That Sax had me thinking about my wedding night, I ain't even married 🥺
🤣 🤣 🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Are you okay?!
❤
He knew exactly what he was doing when he made me listen to this masterpiece: this, right here, is poetry
Yeah, yeah
Love, uh-huh, hey
Love, mm, I told y'all
We would be the band to play it
[Verse: Akua Naru]
My ghetto butterfly flew away from me
I wait patiently, by windows and doorsteps
Play make-believe as my tears pour, chest
Won't succeed to breathe, if not the air of you
Surely there has never been a shade so blue
A stink attitude, so not mad at you, uh
Not a magnitude to encompass the latitude
Of my love for you
No space or time compatible
What do I have to do? What do I have to do?
Ooh, my friends say I got it bad for you
I do, but there's nothing in this world I'd rather do
Uh, but you
I want to make love to your existence, uh
Drenched in the colors of your energy
Then masturbate to the memories
I wanna lose myself inside yourself
Until you find me, confine me
To the freedom of your prison
Exist in the same space, same time
Combine until your thoughts slow grind with mine
Combine until your thoughts slow grind with mine
Combine until your thoughts slow grind with mine
My, I wanna drink the sweat of your intellect
Reflect, and watch your light passion mark my neck
Caress the sights of your presence with no question
Undress to the nakedness of love, pure love
I want to make love to my soulmate, my soulmate
Make love to my soulmate, uh, my soulmate
Make love to my soulmate, shit
I wonder, how does it feel to make love to your soulmate?
Kind of like writing poetry till climax
Till the point and place where our space and time match
And we cross divine paths, tell me, would you like that? Uh
Now would you like that? Tell me, would you like that
Would you like that? Tell me, would you like that?
Would you like that? Uh, I'ma ask you again now, tell me
Would you like that? Tell me, would you like that?
Now would you like that? Tell me, would you like that?
Would you like that? Tell me
I wanna love you more than madly, uh
Wrap these legs around your words
Until your speech is straddled deep, gladly
Swim the currents of your vibrations, uh
Be separate and one with the same meditation
Uh, same meditation
Uh, you know what?
This right here is poetry
Yeah, mm

best song i've ever heard and i don't usually listen to music like this... and the sax player is giving me an eargasm. #love
Jolene Lin saw them live yesterday. Different band, but the sax player was also boss
Hugo ten Dam, interesting! thanks for sharing! Would want to see them live someday! :)
Jolene Lin I was lucky enough to see them just because i wanted to go see another artist. It was the first i ever heard of her.
Hugo ten Dam The other artist is Akala, do you know him? I recommened you listen to his song Find no enemy
Hugo ten Dam, haven't heard of Akala, will check him out on CZcams later. Thanks for the recommendation!
Wow just discovered her in 2024 and I'm so captivated
So sensually beautiful 😍 🌺✨️
The person that gets to be on the receiving end of that woman's love is truly, TRULY blessed
And why you are called LatinGQ- cause if you know- ukno
💯
This is kind of w0man when she falls in love follows you around , sleep outside your gate to monitor activities.
Beautiful deep poetry tho.
Anyone listening in 2020 ?!
To be exact on January 1st
On January 9th, YES !
Me
Still wish I were a saxophone in 2020...
Ani Ghazarian yes
And me :) January 27
Just imagine how peaceful and pure one small moment of time would be with this song just playing. Walking around town, looking around at people having fun and smiling, appreciating how the little things really make living worth it. Or maybe just walking down at the beach while the sun is setting and telling yourself how you wish you could freeze that one moment. Or sitting on a small hill at night going through memories and dreams. It's pretty silly to be honest but right now while I type this silly comment people won't really understand, I'm enjoying this moment of time in my life to really appreciate how amazing music can be.. one love:)
stay as you are bro
Rui carmo you made my day, thank you! Please never change the way you think about life, about the small moments. Love and peace
Alexandra Elena q
ONE LOVE...!
It is not silly. It is just perfect and I feel lucky I reached to your comment because it’s full of positivity . I hope you still have the same mindset. Love to you human!
one of those songs that you accidentally find and you love it so much because there are parts that just really makes you stop what ur doing and just listen
POYINK totally
same
100percent
Damn...
😍
If the Love don't feel like this, DASH IT BACK TO THE RIVER!
7mins of my life I don't need back!
This is the sexiest song i've ever heard
are you crazy???
Right.😭😭😭
not a song
thi is not a song. she practically doesn't sing.
Zsuzsanna Párdiné Tóth A song doesn’t have to be sung, there’s this thing called rhythm-and-poetry.
completly eargasm
+Rui Sousa (collisioN-)
Perfect Description!
+Rui Sousa (collisioN-) So true.
+Nico Poliskey
Exactly
Rui Sousa most definitely
2021! Coming back again and again.. Cause this performance is timeless! And this lady is such an inspiration for me as a singer! I can't believe I was lucky to see her live! 🍀💗
Same here.
Deep, true, earthshaking love...what a blessing...It's my prayer for everybody on this earth...
Feels good 🥰
This is how it feels when music is making love with your ears.
i thought i was the only one.
”°•.♥●•٠·˙˜”°•.·٠•●♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷƸ̵̡
This is poetry of souls... and bodies wow
hahaha
And you get an Eargasm to this 😘 While you're listening baby... Is being BORN .
her voice makes love to my soul
With all our souls, hunny...
phelto - Lingonberr
I love how in tune the musicians are. Damn, everyone and everything is turned on. I just want to be the saxophone.
Lmfao
Yeah, I get it.
I don't know what exactly happens inside of me when listening at this majestic peace of art.
Goosebumps and tears and a huge hug of hope and admiration.
Just magic
I saw her twice in Belgium! She is amaaaazin!!! She's so humble and charismatic and her band is just sick! I feel so lucky to have had the chance to see her in a small underground venue the first time where we felt every vibration of that song! She was so cute at the end she cried when she saw how every person in that room was singing along and feeling it! ❤❤❤
Anytime I hear a crowd sing a band's song while the lead singer remains quiet, I always wonder how grateful and what powerful emotions are going through the singer and the band...it must be an amazing feeling...I wish I could experience that but I'm not a singer
Best 7 minutes of my life.
7min55, please :D
hiiiiiiiiiii
TheDirtypoison
my mistake..
TheDirtypoison 7:56 -_-
I CANT STOP LISTENING TO THIS. So powerful in so many ways...
Listening to this song live has been the most amazing life performance that I ever attended and experienced. A real treat for the ears and soul..
I was shown this song only less than 48 hours ago and I can’t stop playing it. This is the most beautiful combination of sounds I have ever listened to, and I weep at the thought of all the seconds I lived without knowing it existed. Thank you thank you thank you Akua Naru & the DIGFLO band ❤️
Seeing and Hearing her live in a small venue in southern Germany, was the greatest Musical experience of my Life!
Oh my god. I literally cried. I’ve never had a song connect with me on such a level I just I can’t even describe it in words It’s just so unexplainably purely beautiful there isn’t a word worthy of describing it wow.
Came here because Cara Delevingne gave you a shout out on Kelly Clarkson. This is so beautifully written. truly a masterpiece . And the beat and the jazz just brings it to another level. Couldn’t have picked a better genre to capture the good vibrations. … haha. pun was an accident but very fitting 😊
Same
Me too - baby making music
Hahaha, me too.
Some might call it Hip Hop 😏😇
@@joew2842 nah
Damn that Sax was so good...
the sex too
what kind of sax is?
original
...my soul is coming...
Damn
When you combine good music and poetry theirs something that is sensational about it.
Uhhhhhhhhh....what a sensation she is ! and how every instrument talks to her words , how the whole thing rhymes !
I love how she tells the band in the beginning that they are perfect to play this song 😍
One of the best poetry jazz combos of all time!...
This is the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard. The music, the poetry. Every time I am in a different world when I listen to this. ❤️
keep coming back to it every now and then to remind myself what love should sound like #iflovehadasound
you're the one!
peace and respect from Romania/Bucharest
+1 :D
clau0xd 🙏🏻
👌🏻
Hey I'm currently living in Bucharest.....do you know of any cool spots that play live music like this?
occasionally they have it at Godot Cafe in the Old Town; there are also (open air) festivals from time to time; for sure there are pubs (in the Old Town ?) that play good live music, but I wouldn't know for sure which ones; I'd be curious too
Wow, when I heard this song it was barely 1000 views - this remains just a timeless piece of art. Purely love.
I love getting high to this in the dark and just dance around in my kitchen
9.1 million views?? This is so crazy to see, but this performance is exactly how I experienced Akua back in the day when I first saw her live.. Never would've thought that something this alternative/underground/soulful would attract so many people. Happy for her, hope this shows in her success nowadays.
I feel like i have been transported to another world,wow. Her voice is so sultry, overall vibe omg
I’ve been crying so hardly listening to this… Thank you!
Beautiful! Akua Naru and DigFlo you all know how to let the poetry and rhythm of love flow... Soul Sweet Soul Smooth and Soul Beautiful! Thank you! 🧡
wahouw...i have heard this for the first time 7 years ago, and i have found this today. Like the first time, i'm crying. Music et poetry making love...Thanks Akua Naru, from France
You are brilliant and brave Akua Naru. Bravo!
"If love had a sound....you kno....this would be that sound....and we....well.......WE... would be the band to play it.."
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I have never been turned on by music before. What an experience, thanks for the inspiration! 🎸
სამყაროში ორი რამ მეხმარება ქაოსურ სამყაროს გავექცე და მასთან წავიდე
ეს მუსიკა
Amazing flow, amazing voice, can't help but to listen to it on repeat on and on...
I like this a lot from the very first note to the very last. Left me wanting to keep hearing it again and again.Her beautiful presentation and the dynamite band puts the icing on the cake.
Man this lady is gifted 🔥🔥🔥 I mean who makes a crowd of people wanna look for their soulmates 🙌♥️ The band too 🔥🔥🔥
So i found this three years ago and each time i listen it, its like i'm hearing it for the first time and i am mesmerized over and over again. It inspires my poetry.
Music (poetry) & love are universal.
This is the best I've heard, I'd swear to this..
I saw them live at Fusion Festival 2016. I was supposed to meet someone there but we didn't find each other.
I've found myself standing on a rock higher than the entire crowd.
When that song hit, I just felt it was only me and the band. One of the best moments I've ever had.
Wow!
Wow this is so beautiful, watching and listening to this has me running to my journal and continue writing poems. This style is so raw keep going queen!
The relaction between voices instrumental and tecnic makes the quality off the final artistic project incencial to the sucess between the artists and all the logistics that makes the show hapenning! Jazz like it is ....... amayzing!
Oh my my I don’t think I’ve ever felt what I just felt listening to this. Simply spoken with harmony in your voice. You are a dream. Lovely inspiring Queen
Feeling those words and music in every part of my body while stimulating my senses! Pure eargasm!
This Song is deep. I have to leave the rap music alone and get into more of this. I love it
She's a Queen! ....I feel happy this piece was released on my Birthday...
Would you like that, tell me would you like that,
now would you like that, tell me would you like that..
it gives me goosebumps!
:)
This is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard.
Some people put dislikes how is this possible not to fall in love with this poetry, this voice this vibe this musiiiiiic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Everything about this is LIFE!🦋
true rap!!!!!!!
Rhythm And Poetry
"write poetry to climax"
-fans self-
This is AMAZING! I want to do this with my poetry one day! I will do this with my poetry one day
I can’t get tired of this one… ethereal !!!!
Poerty that speaks to the soul ! Outstanding on the level of the universe. Well spoken, felt, and shared ...exquisite on the level of. Audre Lorde! Perfect.
This works perfectly. It evokes the feelings exactly.
Oh God... shivers through my whole body
What a time to be alive
My beautiful malagasy woman introduced me to this masterpiece. This song trancends reality, time and space.
The most beautiful lyrics in the world!
She is everything beautiful,Her words are a deep dive in to your being. truly tantalizing.
Everybody in my house pregnant now.
Hahahaha yes
lol...
😂😂😂
KKKKK
Lmfao
Goosebumps ❤
This pure rap, pure art, rhythm and poetry.
She tells my story!
Had a pleasure of hearing this live. They're always going to be one of my favourite concerts, entry was through an art exhibition, 4h performance, dancing, talking, she tossed flowers to the audience, it was truly an unforgettable experience.
Every year I have to come back to listen to this, it's beautifully poetic
Insanely beautiful.
Words can’t even describe the passion in the piece fire 🔥 🔥 🔥
I love her so much. I'm from CT so she is definitely representing. This is so touching,unique,soul,class,and such a turn on this lady is the reason the real women can still have hope of doing our thang without twerking,showing ass,or bleeching our skin just our natural seduction who else can follow the real not the fake not many i bet. Do your thang sista do your thang.
after 6 min it kinda got chaotic with everything all over the place just the sax and piano would have made it even more heavenly...but until 6 mins through its liquid gold... Akua Legend Naru....
Sounds so Beautiful ..... I'm in love with her voice
OMG this is some of the best i've heard in a long time
In love. I'mma wake up to this every morning, go bed to this every night. ❤️
Spoken word... this is a poetry cafe session... red wine doobies and long stares n glances in irises
