I found & fell in love with this 12 years ago and I'm still here in 2024. Who else is with me?

👇🏿

[egask]

I’ve been watching this video for 9 years. Never take this down please

[electromaestro]

His voice is so thick with soul and feeling it's like a fog so dense that by the time you cross a field your face is wet. It encompasses you and leaves you almost disoriented, but happy enough to just be lost in the moment

[Onlykoji]

who else comes back to this regularly?

[dainam.]

Kwabs. My God. He is at a whole different level of greatness. His voice gives me goosebumps and makes me just cry. Every note he sings is like prayer.

[vivasocialista]

My sister told me to check this song out so I casually looked it up, put on my earphones +didn't really expect anything special.WOW. For the next 4 minutes I felt like I was in a little bubble with just me and the singer- it absolutely covered my body in goosebumps and I now truly understand the meaning of a voice sounding like velvet. I have no superlatives for how beautiful and distinctive that voice is- just utter emotional and physical experience- without a doubt up there with Stevie.

[leroyjnr]

just watched this again for the 100th time (not really but a lot !) and still it leaves me speechless. To be able to sing like that just in your living room!!!...what the f**k!!.... I pray this guy gets the credit, fame, fortune, recognition etc etc that he deserves... this guy is up there with my all time favourite male singers Michael, Luther, Donnie, Terencne Trent D'arby, Stevie, and even 80's singers like Sherrick, Lilo Thomas, Keith Washington... LOVE his voice and tone. 

[EternalEnemy]

This is the best live performance I've seen in my entire life. Perfect vocals and perfect guitarist.

[kwabsmusic]

@vivasocialista I'm truly heartened by the comment. It really made my day. I try to keep a lid on my ego but it was hard yesterday!! The stuff you said about physical and emotional experiences - that's the idea I suppose! I can only try : )

[kwabsmusic]

Thankyou! Best opportunity ever. I'm very lucky indeed.

[deexquisite]

just fast forward to 2:38 and you'll find the exact note where he found your soul.

[ebonychild]

When Luther Vandross covered a song, no one remembered the original. Donny Hathaway covered 'A Song For You' and to this day most people don't know or care who sang it first. You have the exact same gift. I love Corine Bailey Rae but I think you've just done her a disservice with this mind-blowing version. My god bruv, that was outstanding.

[adielaorike]

This is marvelous. Kid has got depth & soul
This cover is classic

[chuchokaka]

Im upset it took me 7 years to find this beautiful cover! its been a couple of months and never get tired of it!

[CurlyToeChronicles]

I am a woman and love to hear your deep voice sanging this song.  You gave this song so much depth and the whisper toward the end is smooth.  I am probably going to break my replay button.

[AlThurayya]

I don't know what just happened. I've never felt anything like that before, listening to someone sing. It kinda hurt - like my heart might have momentarily stopped? I don't know if I've just not heard enough of you yet but this is the best I've ever heard you use your vocal ability.. Amazing. <3

[sandeepsatpal]

Can’t stop replaying this. What a vibe

[menendawit]

can we all rally up and get this guy famous 

[elisabethliones]

Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same
Just like a song in my heart
Just like oil on my hands
Oh, I do love you

Still wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

You've got this look I can't describe
You make me feel I'm alive
When everything else is so faint
Without a doubt you're on my side
Heaven has been away too long
Can't find the words to write this song, oh
Your love

Still I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

Yeah

I have come to understand the way it is
Is not a secret anymore
'Cause we've been through that before
From tonight I know that you're the only one
I've been confused and in the dark
Now I understand, yeah, yeah

I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you
I wonder why it is
I won't let my guard down
For anyone but you
We do it all the time
Blowing out my mind

Just like a star across my sky
Just like an angel off the page
You have appeared to my life
Feel like I'll never be the same
Just like a song in my heart
Just like oil on my hands

[hopsail]

Sheer liquid bliss.  Mr Guitar has class too.
