*Lyrics*

How does it feel
When it’s quiet and calm
And will I be denied
 
How will it feel 
When it’s time to move on 
Mother says kneel and pray
 
When it gets hard 
I will roll those sleeves
Life can be so unkind
 
I will be found on the edge of the world
Where there will be no one around
Oh solid ground
 
How does it feel to be on your own
No one to understand
I know I’m here and I don’t belong
I’m on my knees today
 
When it gets dark
I will know no fear
Life can be so unkind
Hanging around on the edge of the world
Finally no one around
 
Oh
Would you help me
I don’t understand
Is it over
Am I losing solid ground
Solid ground

When the first notes came out from his mouth I felt home again

[mrnickless]

Takes something special to sing and play the keys like this. Simplicity at its absolute finest.

[mathilde.]

felt like time has stopped, this performance is out of this world

[courtneyjazz]

The background colour matches the mood of the song. Perfection.

[aleksandravv]

This is the warmth and harshness at the same time

[yenapas]

Un artiste que j'admire, il a ce talent d'apaiser par ses mots, ses notes, sa musique...

[vgueafrica]

My biggest flex of 2020 was seeing him live at Palace Theatre before the pandemic. I cried & made friends. Everyone in the audience embraced him. Everyone was silent when needed. Everyone left healed.

There's a saying that "Everything new is actually well-forgotten old" and I hope we'll see the renaissance of the lo-fi soulful male music soon. This man is a forerunner of Labrinth, Khalid, Maverick Sabre and Joji caliber that I've never heard of before. Thanks again, COLORS.

I promise you there’s no better feeling of peace than driving down the coast, windows down, and the smell of the ocean waters while listening to Michael.

[ehwma]

he's warming my cold little heart

[Mathijsburgh]

Feels like its not only the piano and him, there is a whole groove going on here

[LazyIRanch]

The sheer beauty of his voice and words make me cry. Why is that? Maybe because he's putting my feelings into words the way I wish I could.

[ZenoKoninckx]

This man can't put out a bad song. Every single one is phenomenal.

[Billoo]

He's the best! I listen to "Cold Little Heart" every single day!!

[hugorodrigues]

Kiwanuka's voice feels like home.

[hmgrffn]

Brings you home to a place you didn't know, but you know you belong.

[SunflowerSunflower]

Grief is the holiest of emotions. If you need to grieve - this sacred song will help you do that.

[mikejika]

This song is a combination of emotions that last a lifetime.

[chloe]

You never forget a voice like this. He had me hooked since ‘Cold Little Heart’ 😭
