Alicia Keys - If I Ain't Got You (Orchestral) (Official Video - Netflix’s Queen Charlotte Series)

If I Ain’t Got You re-imagined with this 70-plus piece Global Orchestra made up entirely of women of color is SOOOO crazzzy! I had REAL tears in my eyes when we recorded this! How does this song keep doing this? I’m so grateful to you, for loving this like I do!! #QueenCharlotte #SheIsTheMusic

This song deserves to be in a museum because it is a masterpiece 👌

Alicia Keys has probably sung this song how many millions of times, in a variety ways, and heard just about every cover and rendition possible, but the fact that every time she performs it, she puts her whole soul into it and just genuinely seems as passionate about it as the first time she recorded it really makes her stands out. All throughout this video you can tell she just loved singing it again with this orchestra and she just seemed to love how much of an iconic song it has become.

2024 anyone?

That piano at the beginning is always so beautiful! So happy to see this song continue to breath life into our day!

This is not simple music. This is pure art. One of the best pieces ever written in contemporary music rearranged in a perfect way.

This song deserves to be in a museum because it is a masterpiece Alicia Keys is so dope. I can't stop watching this track again and again. I am sure she will be #1 soon due to 💖a u t h e n t I c v i e w s 💖

Lyrics: Some people live for the fortune Some people live just for the fame Some people live for the power, yeah Some people live just to play the game Some people think That the physical things Define what's within And I've been there before That life's a bore So full of the superficial Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you, baby If I ain't got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you, yeah Some people search for a fountain Promises forever young Some people need three dozen roses And that's the only way to prove you love them Hand me the world on a silver platter And what good would it be With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you, baby If I ain't got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you, you, you Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you, baby If I ain't got you, baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you, yeah If I ain't got you with me, baby, oh, ooh Said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing If I ain't got you with me, baby.

Alicia Keys keeps upping the musical game! The fact that this brilliant orchestral version was made up entirely of women of color makes this all the more special 🖤✨

Masterpiece. This classic is my favourite Alicia song. It melts my heart every time. Sending you love Alicia. This brought tears to my eyes. I know what Shonda Rhymes is attempting to do. She's restoring the dignity of black people that have been stolen in so many ways and mostly by excluding us from participating in the equal celebration of our humanity. Showing the world that we could have elevated history were we an equal and empowered participant of it. Our world would be more beautiful if only we embraced our diversity and cultural differences instead of relegated to being enslaved, marginalized, misrepresented, excluded, segregated, and dehumanized by those who feared our greatness and nobility.

Amazing all female orchestra with beautiful leaders. If I missed any male there then sorry. Probably I just love to see at least one all female orchestra. So proud of being female❤

This orchestral version takes it to another level.

I'll bet you never imagined all these years later you would get to create another beautiful rendition of this classic. It's so cool to watch things come back full circle. Congratulations it's beautiful. Everyone did a phenomenal job. 🧡
