Naïka - For Gerard (Acoustic Video)

Lyrics:

VERSE:
Baby it’s nearly July
Talk about it day and night
Can’t believe we made it by yeah
Got me up before the light
So alive

And boy I crave it more and more
The way you come and reassure me
Can’t remember who I was before you
Possibly naive and insecure
Darling you so good

PRE:
Every time’s a new time
Never been a blue time
Now I got a new shine

You’re my blood and my world
From a slow wine, tell me where to co-sign

CHORUS:
I just feel so lucky in your arms
Oh baby, oh baby
Telling me it’s all calm
Oh baby, oh baby
X2

VERSE 2:
You bring me outta my shell
Baby you shell
In a two star little gritty motel round the corner
Flickering lights
Danced like the rhythm in my heart when I saw ya

Oh baby baby yeah you see me
Better than anybody like family
You keep me high on my toes
In them FILA’s you chose
Oh you’re so good to me

PRE:
Every time’s a new time
Never been a blue time
Now I got a new shine

You’re my blood and my world
From a slow wine, tell me where to co-sign

CHORUS:
I just feel so lucky in your arms
Oh baby, oh baby
Telling me it’s all calm
Oh baby, oh baby
X2

BRIDGE:
Oh we won’t turn it won’t turn it down
Won’t turn it won’t turn it down
Oh we won’t turn it won’t turn it down
X2

CHORUS:
I just feel so lucky in your arms
Oh baby, oh baby
Telling me it’s all calm
Oh baby, oh baby
X2

ALSO Can we take a moment to how stunning she looks. That dress, the way it's cut and layered I like a lot and the color compliments her so well. She looks beautiful

[connorperry]

Only a true artist can slay a acoustic accompaniment as well as she can. Honestly with today's artists and there crappy autotune it is so refreshing to see this treasure repping her Haitian creole background, giving love to her uncle, and sounding perfect lol. Girl why ain't you famous yet we need to really be having you on the front line of music

[clo-e-]

Jacob, the guitarist, and her singing together was magic 🧡

[pradeepkurian]

In my opinion, Naika deserve more attention. She is so talented!

[verybadsamy]

I love your voice.
I miss people who sing without any adjustment, neither instruments...
You so natural. so confident. Good luck.

[loicpaul]

Yassss Naika! Lots of love from St. Vincent! 🇻🇨❤ Rest in Whistling Peace Uncle Gerard 🙏

[Shona]

I don’t like this song because the lyrics made me cry realizing how touch starved for love I am 😭 😭 it really touched my heart, thank you ❤️

[dopamine]

I love the story behind For Gerald. Especially you’re Uncles whistle in the being.🥰🥰🥰

[salome]

Naika don't need auto-tune, the auto-tune needs her. She sings very beautiful and oh my god, she has a good style to compose great music. I hope Naika can be more recognized. She deserves it. 💖
