On March 8th, 2013, Snarky Puppy and a host of special guests convened at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke VA. The project was to record a series of live performances in audio and video that would bring attention and benefit to the ongoing work of the center. The Jefferson Center is a non-profit arts organization that is revitalizing a key neighborhood in Roanoke with the restoration of Jefferson High School and the renovation of the Shaftman Performance Hall. The hall brings world class music to the local community through the Music Lab, providing education and recording space for local children.

The Music Lab at Jefferson Center is working daily to pull from every social and economic class of the Roanoke community and create the next wave of real, human musicians. They host low cost or free after-school programs for any interested young people filled with visits by guest artists, private instrumental instruction, and recording training. Wafting out of the little studios and rehearsal rooms on the third floor of Jefferson Center, you can hear Afro-beat in Swahili, hip-hop in Liberian Kreyol, the blues coming from the guitar of a 13 year-old prodigy, and the undeniable sound of young musicians growing. It's a thing that needs to be supported at all costs across this country, and by purchasing this record, you've done it.

A portion of every sale will go to the Music Lab at Jefferson Center.

I want to do this song at a gospel concert sometime. Pure energy.

Sidenote: They should get snarky puppy to do the next James Bond soundtrack. Just. IMAGINE!

[TheFidelity]

You don't just wake up and sing like that.  She has been through shit... This is the sound of soul!

[alexistomin]

Heads up from 2023! I want Family Dinner Vol.3 😅

[blaque]

[RaevaeMusic]

Who's still feeling the energy in 2021? The lyrics are so relevant for these times...

[jlofton]

Funny part most of all don't realize this is a gospel/Christian song. I love how they had a praise break at the end. Lmbooo.

[rubenlouis]

This track doesn't get enough love ❤

[tombarron]

I know this is old stuff - but I’ve listened time and time again. Thanks Snarky Puppy for sharing your talents and the talents of so many others. Truly ambassadors for music!!!😎

[brandmeow]

Nothing makes me smile more than those outro screams she pulls off. Just makes my soul

[GlenPeterson]

I've listened to this 4 times now and cried every time. Thank you!

[andreadaniel]

Oh, my gosh!! There is so much energy in this! I can't just listen, I have to watch it too because everyone is giving 1000% to this track and it's great to watch. And I have to watch it back-to-back at least 5 times while getting ready for work, and at a certain point throughout the day because the song won't let go of me. Just EXCELLENT!

LYRICS

My heart bleeds, I am broken
And I got nowhere to go
There's this thing holding me down
And I'm at an all-time low

I can't sleep, but I keep my eyes closed
Can't even think of moving ahead
I can't breathe, this battle I'm loosing
This weary body been there for days

I'm going under, under the water
I'm drowning my sorrows, and burdens away

I feel this house, every corner
Nothing left but bad memories
Can't sit up, up in here no more
Pretending that I'm already free

I think twice, try'na stop me
I'll bring you down like gravity pulls
Can't take back what's been done to me
Last time I made you look like a fool

I'm going under, under the water
I'm drowning my sorrows, and burdens away
I'm going under, under the water
I'm drowning my sorrows, and burdens away

Ohohoh, no more, no more, no more, no worry no more ://:

I need faith, I need you my Lord
So tired I don't know what to do
I need faith, I need you Lord
So tired I don't know what to do

I even think I need you Lord
So tired I don't know what to do
I need faith, I need you Lord
So tired

Don't want to go under, under the water
I'm drowning my sorrows, and burdens away
Don't want to go under, under the water
Cleansing my sorrows, and burdens away

Eyeyey, no more, no more, no more, no worry no more ://:

I'm going under, under the water
I'm drowning my sorrows, and burdens away
Don't want to go under, yea!
