Joan Armatrading - Down To Zero Lyrics

What a fabulous voice, musician, woman, person. Thank you Joan for all the decades of your voice in my life. I especially like this video.

WOULD YOU MESS WITH THE QUEEN OF THE NORTH

G8 song.

Wow... A true Queen... see where Tracy Chapman got her inspiration

She has the most amazing voice. Sounds like that live as well😍

*"down to the ground, down to the ground"* 🎶

I don't know what she is talking about but I love it :D heartbreak I assume...?

Im her big fan since l heard her singing in late seventies she's amazing lm listening from South Africa KZN Durban Toti Kwa Makhutha

One of a kind

So underrated, Joan deserves so much accolades and never received them..its a pity, look at this talent, will not find this today, I've ben a fan since the 70's..hard to beleive she never won grammys or any awards....took courage and talent, a black woman in racist England

Gorgeous, every bit of the way

Listening to this song with tears streaming down. Loved playing Joan with my boyfriend. We made plans - road trip to the US, a little cottage in rural England, caring for children who need us. We were getting married in December. Then suddenly he became quiet. Weeks later,.he told me that our relationship is becoming too intense. That was it.

TMI...

My best friend Kesten used to listen to Joan back in 1995, long time ago and at that time I had never paid much attention to this music. Today, about 15 minutes ago actually, I was watching 'Only Fools and Horses'(Amazing must-see UK comedy show) and at the end of the episode, Joan's song 'Someone Who Loves You' was played over the end credits. I immediately came to YouTube and found that song which in turn lead me to more! I have just been enjoying some crazy flash backs to the nineties and I have realized that I have stored way more of Joan's music in my subconscious than I thought possible! I'm so impressed! Defo gonna be sharing the good news about her to everyone I know!

Awesome!

God, she's wonderful ...

"Brand new dandy"

I love it and the first time i heard it in Tanzania and it always reminds me to Africa

Wow what an amazing voice and song .Takes me back to my younger days.

Love love this song! Joan is the best!

Beat that!

Love! never dies ... Israel Olowole Ifebogun - Aberdeen, Scotland: magic!

Love Joan, beautiful woman, great artist, fantastic.some of the best female vocals ever by a British woman, sung with meaning and feeling

Me tu! What a voice.

I was probably between 8 and 10 of age in the 80s when I first heard this song. It's truly quality music. I wonder which year this song came out.

Ooooh oo hhhhmmmm when u fall oohhh wen u falllll.....

Ai shem I know Gentleman Gud shit, GO Gola ke jola le Bagolo Nana ,THEN U FALL.....

A brilliantly constructed song. I never understood why it didn't sell as well as "love and affection". Great singing , and sympathetically supported by Jerry Donahue on guitar .

I could get lost in her hair.

I NEVER get tired of this track. The pedal steel solo is exquisite.

Just commenting to ensure that this stays at the top like it should.

The female Hendrix. Just oozing musicianship naturally. Amazing song and her voice has something in it that flows with purity.

Hardly compares to Hendrix? Odd thing to say!?! They're both of the highest quality and make amazing music but they're both of different worlds too. Just MHO, and I mean no disrespect to you at all.

Metro FM 🇿🇦 introduced me to this woman...

Why is this song sped up?

Now you walk back with your feet on the ground
Down to the ground
Down to the ground.

Wow wow wow

😗🔥

Joan amatrading + Tracy Chapman + Sade ❤

Sooooooo good

Sadly, don't get to hear much about Joan and that is a pity, as she is one of the most talented female artists in the UK.

She was on Good Morning Britain recently promoting her latest work btw.

Wonderful.

proud to be the 1, 000, 199th viewer of this fabulous song. Just wish I could see Joan live one day...

She's fantastic.

Veryyy cool cat.

Anyone else here from 2019?

I spent 50 bucks on a rock encyclopaedia. Joan is not mentioned, nor is Steve Miller. 50 cents is. What a waste of money.

I hear ya..................................I hear ya man.

How my God

The eponymous album this song came from is one of my top 5 albums of all time. Every track was a gem!

o Joan ❤

MY FAVORITE ARTIST---THIS SPEAKS TO ME!

Pure and natural cannot compare with another. In a class by herself. I love this song.

love Joan her songs and her voice make's me feel happy but kinda sad

Timeless and deep!

How could I have forgotten this song? Thank you for posting. My mom n dad used to play this on vinyl..those guitar riffs cutting thru your soul as the words hit your ears and it dawns on u what they are saying....oh its but pure ecstasy 🙏🏿🙏🏽💗

It’s healthy to drop a tear

To all the thumbs down people ( you`re nob heads )  this is great music , classic 70`s.They don`t make music like this any more :)

I hear what ya saying Derek..............................And I dig it.

Timeless music, great memories, thanks to everyone who enjoy this experience.

💕💕💕💕

Here Christmas day 2019 <3

Her songs were on regular rotation when Toronto's famous CFNY was in it's heyday as one of the world's foremost innovative radio stations of the late 70's early 80's and her songs added to the mix perfectly. She had an androgynous sound back then which was sort of the trend at the time it was cool to be that way.

SLAYS AND THEN TEARS

Forever period.

Love for Joan. Thank you for all the music over the years. All love

I’m in love with her voice, every melody suits her voice

cool videos

I've listened to this song thousands of times and it still has me in awe. Simply magical.

This was a fucking revaluation to me in 1979

I love this women so much, I wonder if she'll ever know. <3 <3 <3

Joan's cool.......................I'm sure she has a peak to see what people say and think. You just never know..

I can listen to her over and over

I am 25 years old but this song bring tears in to my eyes

wow*****

💫✨✨✨

Hard to categorise, Joan Armatrading had a unique style, lots of emotion, I grew up on her music being played in my house, she was definitely underrated talent

I loved her music when I first heard it 40 years ago and I still do. Such a rich distinctive voice. Unique lyrics. Where do you hear aa voice like that in pop music today?

Love this song so much

She's a Black Woman (Lucy); mother to all men!

Josie, we walked the warm sands together, we fell in love. Love never dies, sweet cheeks, no forgetting, no escape from the loneliness. What should never have happened to you, was a mistake for which we all pay.

why you give thumbs down??

EVEN BETTER THAN HENDRIX, THIS IS PERFECT. HIGH, GREAT PROFFETIONAL COMPOSITION, AND SO, SO MELODIOUS <3 HARMONY & PERFECTION <3 THANKS ALOT FOR THIS SHARING, I HAVE SUBSCRIBED ;) Yours sincerely, Sissel Jahnsen

loved her then love her now

Loved this woman 40 years. Still do; it just doesn't get old

Joan...soo beautiful

I had an ovation too!

amazing

jesus my lard

she is so fantastic.

Unique - and then there was Joan - the real deal.

If I had of looked and seen this song had 200 million views.....................................I wouldn't been at all surprised, it's that fucking good.

I love, you're wonderful.

Love her

Will always be loved and missed.

Missed? She was on Good Morning Britain recently promoting her latest work! You make it sound like she is dead!?!

I have been a fan since the 70's I have seen her in concert at least 6 times. She is one of the greatest singer/songwriters of the last 50 years. If you get the chance, go see her.

Joan and Kate Bush , the UK"s GREATEST female singer- songwriters

Thanks Clo brown of swansea !!! To dialling this onto my radar .....

extraordinary song . So much of her work makes me hurt and cry. And be happy.

Joan's up there with Van Morrison for my part.

Thank you Joan for happy teenage years, hope you are keeping well in the fold. Love you forever, X 🤗

Fantastic what else could you say.

Now I know where Tracy Chapman got her inspiration from

She is a genre unto herself. I treasure her albums love her so much

Really nice! Joan singing live for " Down to Zero" was VERY nice!! Much appreciated! Joan helps me get to a good place!

mitica voce....

It occurs to me that perhaps one of my favorite artists, Tracy Chapman, may be influenced by this great lady. I'm a new Fagan, thanx to Graham Norton.

What a great song and Lady love the sound great times
