Tems's voice is literally therapy.

[DlFl]

The tone in Tems voice has a healing vibration to it, spiritually on a different plane.
Give thanks Tems

The reality is, 20 years from now people will still be sampling this and still getting emotional when they hear it. Everything else connected this is popular, but this is magic!

[jordyoriantal]

That “I will wait for you” hits every time.

[DYLTHEVYL]

That chorus “if the world was ending…, ” is one of the sweetest melodies in music history.

[JvnTheeBarber]

She’s a voice from the motherland that’s why it hits every time!

[ibrahimrobiu]

This woman is a complete package. Will love to see you on Tiny Desk.

Tell me why you're crying now kini big deal
(Higher, higher, higher, higher)
When you gave me something I don't really feel
(Higher, higher, higher, higher)
But you knew that already
When I found you on the ground
You were dying (higher, higher, higher, higher)
Now you come into my yard, uninvited
Can you see me on the edge?
I'm enlightened (higher, higher, higher, higher)
If the world was ending
Would you cry or would try to get me?
Tell me now, I want you to be clear, yeah (tell me)
Tell me now, I need you to be clear, yeah (tell me)
I will wait for you, for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
Get me
Can you put the time on a rewind, yeah?
Help me understand, can you tell me now?
Why you made the war that we're fighting now?
(Higher, higher, higher, higher)
And you fall and you run when you see my big guns
Run around, run away as the rebel comes out
Then you call, call on me when you call me I come
But there you go again (there you go)
With your deaf ears
Open your mind to the sound of the trumpet
What do want from a life of the hopeless? (of the hopeless)
Now here you are and you're begging and crying (and your crying)
I want to fly, yeah, I'm flying 'til morning
Running away to the land of discovery
Running away from the suffering, I'm gone, yeah
Running away from the darkness, I'm out here, yeah (higher, higher)
Higher than all the limits
Going way beyond the noise and your feelings
When you speak all I can hear is silence
Turning back from all the pain and violence
Big tunes, now it's big tunes I'm killing
Cry now from the side now, call my name
Fall down when you see me, you know that
You know that I won't stay for you, you
I will wait for you for you, for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you

[JulieEpps]

music is feeling alive again, can't explain it

[benbenassi]

She has the world in her voice. Adele, Rihanna, Lauryn, SZA, Nigeria, Jamaica, America...

[Sportik]

When I heard this song, I burst into tears like a little child, because I never really loved... I brought so much pain to people who loved me... For many years I struggled with a serious illness, experienced a lot, I was in a lot of pain and besides that I felt nothing else, maybe that's why I can't love?

[Jumpingforjoya]

This is my favorite live performance of all time.

[cdavid]

She literally sounds just like her tracks, if not better!!! 🤯

[lifewithsky]

it’s the whole song for me but when she said “ If the world was ending would you cry or would you try to get me ? “ I felt that on a different level 🥺❤️

[wanyewest]

Still come here regularly… somebody top this 🤷🏾‍♂️

[lukeroberts]

The most underrated heavily vocal ever witnessed on YouTube! This woman has the most beautiful and classy vocal ever to grace YouTube X

[niyasolos]

I lost my 5 month old this week and we listened to this every time we went somewhere, she was extremely talkative whenever I would play this song. I’ve been so lost these past couple of days but tems voice is helping me feel a bit better.💔

[Everythingfreshandsassy]

This is REAL MUSIC AND A REAL VOICE! Thank you, young lady!

[almosleyjr]

I sat in the shower and listened intently, then the spirits came over me and brought me to tears. Blessings

[airconditioning.]

Everything about this woman is beauty.
