Lizz Wright - Stop

Who can say no?

Her voice is something unreal. Wish to go one time to hear her live. Maybe If she will be in Europe at least somewhere in Germany or France... I don't even dream her to come to Ukraine, but would be miracle if come true...

any distance to travel for her is worth while ... she's a revelation --- first time I saw her live she brought tears in my eyes within a few seconds once she started singing... her presence is (as you say) somehow unreal

В апреле будет в Польше, Австрии, Франции http://lizzwright.net/

This version is so much better than Madonna's version, even though I'm a fan

Here's Joe Henry's version of the song.. He wrote it for Madonna.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uaoDLcqo9I

it's funny, it makes me think of Lhasa de Sela

saw her at Newport ('16). held the audience in her palm

one person wanted to stop

Don´t tell me to stop Tell the rain not to drop Tell the wind not to blow Tell me love isn´t true It´s just something we do Tell me everything I´m not Don´t tell me to stopTell the sun not to shine Not to get up this time Let it fall by the way Leave me where I lay Tell the leaves not to turn Don´t tell me I´ll learn Take the black off a crow But don´t tell me goTell the bed not to lay Like the mouth of a grave Not to stare up at me Like a calf on its knees

@PlatypusRising55 Wow, thanks for the info. I'm a big Lizz Wright fan and also like Joe Henry. Didn't know of the connection. Hey, not surprised.

Stop: my intro to Lizz on Canadian radio a few years ago. I raced to the music shop (a really large one) where they had to order this CD, and I waited. It took a while. I hope Lizz has better presence there now... Amazing voice. She connects with all her listeners. Someone wrote this about her, that it was as if Lizz was singing to her during a performance in a small venue. I know what she means, just from listening here!

Classic song, this version with her voice is perfect

Joe Henry is married to Madonna's sister -- that's the connection.Haven't heard Madonna sing it but I love Lizz's version. She has a lovely voice and interprets songs in an original way.

I love this version!! $give me if I'm mistaken but, isn't this a Madonna song?! Or did Madonna do Liz Wright?! - Someone school me?! Either way... Liz's version is beautiful!!

Madonna wrote this ..its on her 2000 album 'music' its actually called 'don't tell me'

Joe Henry wrote it and gave it to his sister in law who happens to be Madonna. His version is the best.

i love this song...
