The soulful singer Lizz Wright at AVO Session 2005, with a great band that puts their heart into the song. This song is called Stop.===================================Don´t tell me to stopTell the rain not to dropTell the wind not to blowBecause you said soTell me love is not trueIt´s just something we doTell me everything I´m notBut don´t tell me to stopTell the sun not to shineNot to get up this timeLet it fall by the wayLeave me here, where I layTell the leaves not to turnBut don´t tell me I´ll learnTake the black off a crowBut don´t tell me to goTell the bed not to layLike the mouth of a graveNot to stare up at meLike a calf on its kneesKeep on telling me love isn't trueIt's just something we doTell me everything that I'm notBut don't tell me to stop

Jul 26, 2008 - They just both used the lyrics of a writer but both gave a whole other inperpetation to the words. Nice to see how such things can be so different.

Jul 26, 2008 - What a underrated artist she is. She is one of my favorites.Her album Dreaming Wide Awake is I believe a masterpiece.

Jul 26, 2008 - Yeah youre right!! She doesnt get the attention she deserves! shes great, i love the album too...and now theres a new one!! check it out, it's called "the orchard"
AmyRoseXOXOXO Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Gasp!!!I had no idea!!I'm off to check it out right now. Thanks!Oh, and you know what is shocking? I have looked all over the web for guitar tabs to her music, and there aren't any. Further proof that she is incredibly underrated. So was Nina Simone though, so I guess she's in good company : ) XOXO

Jul 26, 2008 - I feel like I've just stumbled across some really awesome secret and I'm not sure if I'm bummed that I didn't know about it sooner or just really pleased to finally be in on it.Lizz Wright: It's made that a musician this talented and real is, like someone said below, so underrated. I love how she elements of two of my favorite performers - India Arie and Lauryn Hill - and yet her style is definitely her own. Just brilliant.

Jul 26, 2008 - discovered this 2 days ago and it is in HEAVY rotation at my house. magnificent...
suthrncmfrtatl Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Wow Lizz...she just gets better and better with time. This is probably one of my favorite songs, the emotion, the subtleness of her voice, the interpratation of the song. Pick up all of her cd's..you will not be disappointed. Just wish I would have gotten her autograph many years ago when she was singing with In the Spirit...we knew she would always make it.

Jul 26, 2008 - She's live better then on cd!Great singer!!
tikitequila Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - So beautiful! Do you also have Lizz's 'Silence', live at AVO Session? If so, could you add it?
jonsey44 Says:
