I agree. My wife and I saw her live a few years ago and we loved her show. She went out on stage, all alone with just a guitar, and she rocked the house. With todays overproduced and electronically altered music it is a rare treat to see someone with as much talent as this young lady has.
This Serena song will stand the test of time. I fell in love in with it when she first released it, and now 13 years later I'm 44 and it's even more powerful to me now. Such a huge talent....Canada proud! 🇨🇦🎵
I will see Serena and Melissa Ethridge tomorrow night in Concert. I cant waitt to see them both. Serena has such an amazing voice. Again. Let the voice of Canadian Artists and their talent be heard..
This was how I discovered Serena Ryder, years ago on the radio I heard this song and loved it. Glad she's still writing and producing new music! :D Also nice to have Canadian radio stations play her stuff at least. Because she never appears on the Top music charts like most Canadian artists unfortunately. More people would be able to hear her awesome music if that were the case!
Serena Ryder has an amazing voice, can play the guitar and piano like its a part of her, (I think she has a bit of a Janis Joplin sound to her voice) as well as brilliant writing abilities! Another amazing Canadian artist who is under appreciated in the industry, she has more talent in her pinky finger then most female artists who are topping the Billboard Charts! No Auto-Tuning or sleazy attire required, just the pure beauty that is Serena Ryder!
These lyrics touch my heart. They mean so much to me because I can relate to them. If I ever met Serena I would hug her and say thank you. Thank you for being unique and for writing such a true song. You're beautiful . . . Gotta love Canadians like Serena Ryder. Music wouldnt be the same without her
fantastic.....Here's another example of American Labels not getting behind Canadian Artists......This should have been a major hit across both countries. Her voice is unique and easy on the ears and quess what ????she wrote this song as well!!!!!!
Actually, it was THIS Song on a "Small Rooms Collection" that lead WEA to Signing an International Deal for SERENA RYDER... WEA purchased the Rights to a selection of her Songs after Discovering her Gifted Songwriting and VOICE! She EARNED this Special Attention and Profile, which occurred around the time EMI, her CDN Label was being Sold to Universal. True... Many Artists and supportive Staff were Lost then, Sadly, but NOT SERENA! NO... NO... NOPE!!! ❤
A beautiful lady singing a song that brings tears to your eyes with the voice of all the angels singing at once. 390,000 views? WOW!! More people need to hear this!!!
Aedán Duchene If that's what it takes for Serena to become more popular....I'll take her just the way she is thank you. Beautiful, talented and honest.
This song was always on the radio. Me and my sisters love singing it all the time! This is the first time I have ever seen the video, and the singer. It's one of those songs that gets in your head!
Her voice and this song kill me every damn time. Amazing!! I wish I could write like this. I just broke up with someone who didn't truly want to be with me and this song resonated with me. You can move on, but the physical can linger and make it harder ;)
Flipping through channels one night and this video was on Much Music. I have to admit it was "love at first sight!" This remains one of my absolute favourite songs by any artist. Her voice is just absolutely amazing and many of her songs are just lyrical perfection!
Since the first time I heard you on the radio,I never heard of you but after that I always will listen to a Ryder song!! About the same time Lights was new.💗💗💗💗💗
I live in garden Hill And I cant believe this girl sings like she does I am an old guy but pick hard and this girl jams Proud of you sweetie Come for a campfire sing song. We will make you feel back at home Thumbs up
🎉😊Love this song and Serena Ryder🌸🌸 I watched her Live Concert here @ our place in Vancouver Island. Man, she’s great @ singing & doing live performances!! 💖🇨🇦
I just learned of Serena..by accident..I have been relentlessly trying to find the song played on "w" network during "outlander" commercials...I wasn't getting the words right..it took my son, 17 of course..to find it on his first go....i am ecstatic!!!...the song is "Sanctuary "...amazing song, amazing singer and I can't wait to listen to more...now I would LOVE to hear the whole song the network is playing...maybe 'VEVO'..it has a bit different sound than the utube version....xo
Two dislikes? Obviously a couple of people had trouble hitting the right button. That could be the only viable reason Serena Ryder could ever get a "dislike".
Agreed with Danielle Sullivan. Serena Ryder is amazing! Love love your music and this song! I think of your Stompa song whenever I stomp on a centipede ;P
All the best in the New Year!!....and im week in the knees (arthritis).......of course you mean when you get that tummy flip that gives you week knees...its a good feeling.
It is one of my favorite songs and artists. She is simply amazing!! And Canadian:) We love you Serena. Go get em!!! WILL YOU EVER COME TO CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA?
No , it's been 28 yrs, and my daughter and mother were going to pass and this song came on ,I had to Let them Go ,, the Dr,s asked me , there was nothing more they could do ,, didn't want machine keeping them alive ,, I'll never let go of them my hearts
This was our song and after 12 year's she don't love me no more. But my love for Her will never go away but I respect your choice because I love you and now you are free.
Oh God she's great. No computer generated crap. The voice is the greatest, and she has the sweetest innocent face. I just love her.

IMHO. the best Canadian voice since Amanda Marshall. Absolutely talented,she deserves more success.
A beautifully written song by one of Canada’s best vocalists.
Her rendition of “Good Morning Starshine” is superb.
I will see Serena and Melissa Ethridge tomorrow night in Concert. I cant waitt to see them both. Serena has such an amazing voice. Again. Let the voice of Canadian Artists and their talent be heard..
I can definitely see/hear the Alanis influence in her vocal style and even how she moves. Both great Canadian singers
This was how I discovered Serena Ryder, years ago on the radio I heard this song and loved it.

One of the most lovely, down to earth people I've been lucky enough to work with. And a quality singer and songwriter too. You go Serena!
This girl has something so special and touching in her voice and music. So beautiful

The answer to your question is quite simple - she is not half naked singing about her anaconda....sad right?
Aedán Duchene If that's what it takes for Serena to become more popular....I'll take her just the way she is thank you. Beautiful, talented and honest.

I
I remember when this song came out . I was ten . I saw her in concert I was 14. I was 17 when I met a boy who made me weak in the knees
What an awesome voice. Wonderful tune, lovely lyrics.

Grew up with this song. Absolutely gorgeous
I love this song! She's a great singer.

i cant help but love this song
Beautiful..great singer
Somehow I have not been aware of Serena Ryder. From the reactions of the posters that have seen her perform, she gives her all. She connects with me.
love this song so much. and i love the sincerity in her voice.
woot canadian!
Love! Love! This song...
This is truly the first time I've listened to the lyrics.
Two dislikes? Obviously a couple of people had trouble hitting the right button. That could be the only viable reason Serena Ryder could ever get a "dislike".
A truly great singer.
I met her at a concert near my home town and i got to spend like an hafe an hour with her she is amazing Canadian singer.!!!
I can't stop sobbing.
Such a great song....proud to be Canadian

14/11/2023: here's the little hill I'm willing to die on when it comes to top 3 Canadian women singers: Basia Bulat, Serena Ryder, Misha Bower.
Love this song
All the best in the New Year!!....and im week in the knees (arthritis).......of course you mean when you get that tummy flip that gives you week knees...its a good feeling.
It is one of my favorite songs and artists. She is simply amazing!! And Canadian:) We love you Serena. Go get em!!! WILL YOU EVER COME TO CAPE BRETON, NOVA SCOTIA?

When I recently searched this song up I didn't know it was Serena Ryder. I thought it was a Canadian country singer I haven't heard of.
First song I heard by Serena. I thought what a cool voice.
Beautiful song
@freedomwomanOne I am seeing them both tonight in St. John's Newfoundland... Can't wait!!!! I am sure they both must put on an amazing concert!
