oh hot damn, this is my jam | i’m here → the color purple (cynthia erivo / lachanze)

I’ve been a little down lately, about life and all its hurdles, then the other day I finally bought the new recording of The Color Purple. While I had been in love the show, it had fallen by the wayside and I hadn’t listened to it for years. “I’m Here” was always one of those songs that spoke to me so deeply, I can’t even explain it. When I finally listened to Cynthia Erivo sing it, I honest to goodness was changed. Her performance is transcendence and beauty and hope and everything good, and I haven’t even seen it live (much as I wish I could!!!). Now I know it’s a role I could obviously never play, but because I love the song so much, and want to thank Cynthia for her performance, and for snapping me out of my funk for even a little bit, in the only way I can fully express myself. So here it is, riddled with emotion and, no doubt, mistakes. Hope it’s still worth a listen.
