I was adopted when I was 3. Had a lot a struggles accepting love and understanding myself. I lost my parents in 2016 and 2017, 9 months apart both were sudden and unexpected. I hated myself for a while for not letting them be the parents they wanted to be because I fought them every step of the way. Im learning to forgive myself. because God said their mission was over. They did what they came to do. And that was raise me. It took their passing for me to get my act together but I’m forever grateful for all the lessons and love they instilled in me. I miss them everyday and I cry for them every night 😔 It gets super lonely and I get lost but I know they’re watching over me

"I heard the sound of your voice in music, so I speak with you everyday."
how do you even create a beautiful waterfall of lyrics like that

[VaranusVideos]

Its sad that the music industry will never recognize a gem like this man (and many others) and its obvious he recognizes that and will not conform, much respect and thank you for the beautiful music you give us.

[anthonyrivera]

He is not as famous as he is talented. Worth so much more than just a few thousand views

[thestoryiseek]

I think I've listened to this about 50 times in the past few days. So talented. The lyrics are so simple, poetic, and relevant all at the same time. Beautiful.

[gibskimbler]

I'm not a religious person what so ever, but I feel my dad's presants everyday, watching me. Idk i miss him but I'll always carry a part of him with me forever. Rip pop's

[louvveeeelleiremua]

I-woahhh..HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS MANS VOICE UNTIL TODAY, LIKE SOEAKING, HIS VOCALS IMMEDIATELY GOT ME BUT WIAHGHHGLHH

[Jo-hgtl]

I don't want this song to end .. I could listen to this for hours
And the lyrics means so much more when you think about Jesus

[ajakennedy]

Bruh. That raspy timbre + vibrato? I'm done. I'm leaving. Can't handle it. Bye. Uggghhh, so beautiful. Please don't let anyone produce/master the texture out of your voice on these studio recordings.

[LAYNABEI]

This is the best praise and worship song EVER!

[Popcornification]

Losing a parent is tough, usually not thought about until it happens. It happens then, reflection and pain and smiles and tears.Thank you for this song. Cheers to all!

[vanitygivens]

Sang this at my grandmother's funeral. The best thing I think I've ever done for her. This song does her justice.

[shawnkimble]

[Rwn]

[ceylanakcicek]

We were raised under Grey skies,
But you'll never hear us complain
Oh, and father led with examples
Of how to draw beauty from pain
So I found a thousand spring-times in her eyes
And I learned to play games in the rain

Oh, when you left us you didn't really go
I know you're watching me from my head to my toes
And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no
And truth be told, everybody knows you
You put the food on my plate and you gave me my clothes
And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no

I found the touch of your hand in the breeze
And the light of your smile in sun rays
You should know I hear the sound of your voice in music
So I speak with you everyday

We have overcome, 'cause of what you've done
And it's plain to see that you're here with me

[shalashaska_]

Man... I felt that shit... I felt every bit of that tune all the way to my bones. It's not often that i come across an artist that can grab you with a song as much as this one has. That was some heavy shit, Cooper... keep it up.

[trinalefebvre]

It's a shame to think that artists whom don't have passion or heart and emotion in there music will go trending and then people like JP Cooper, who writes beautiful music and sings just as beautifully will go under the radar unnoticed. He deserves to be heard, and I am thankful that I've found such a talented artist.

Keep it up JP! I listen to you every day. I have epilepsy and I listen to you more after I seize because your voice calms me. We need more real musicians like you ❤
