His voice sounds like a vinyl record, pretty cool.

[livjunkie]

I swear to god my future children gonna listen to this and make this their comfort song because its just too beautiful 💕

[goolumf]

I remember when this first came out, I was a angsty teen and I had this on loop, brought me so much comfort.
Moses Sumney’s music is always quality and always raw and beautiful, thankful that this performance exists

I'm crying tears of happiness my soul is free

[Verse 1]
I know what it is to be broken and be bold
Tell you that my silver is gold
Though we're much too old for make believe
And I know what it's like to behold and not be held
Funny how a stomach unfed
Seems satisfied cuz it's swell and swollen
And you caught me
Shootin' cross the sky like a star
But nobody told me
To never let it get too far
You see my silhouette, so you're standing scared of me

Can I tell you a secret?

[Hook]
My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic
My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic
Oooh
My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic
My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic
Plastic
My wings are made of plastic, my wings are made of plastic
My wings are made of plastic
And so am I

Heard this in another video and thought "i've never heard this song by Nina" as in some parts definitely reminded me of Nina Simone. Fell absolutely in love with his voice!

[yourdamelola]

He's voice is like a freaking super power

[netragandhi]

I literally haven't heard a song this good in a while

[camchamp]

His voice sounds like warm sunlight glinting and shining through lush trees on a warm day.

[rachelsrooms]

I hear this song from a make-up tutorial called My Blackness. I laid my head back and felt the good vibes. It makes me want to go to my local art museum, the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, go to the outside area, and just chill

[melodyblack]

those lyrics crack something inside of me but in a good way.

[daoyang]

His tone is just amazing!!
His voice is just so controlled, and that falsetto proves his lungs are just something else.

[winslowsewell]

I usually skip ads on Youtube, but when I heard his voice on a Honda civic ad i had to find out who he was. Moses Sumney is definitely something special. Now down the rabbit hole I go, I cant wait to hear more of his music!... Good job and move on the Honda commercial gig!

[pinkhearts]

Sounds so like Nina Simone. How wonderful. Amazing voice, love this song.

[danielarazo]

My friend introduced this song to me and I kid you not, I almost cried. Beautiful song and voice!

[kikiaderoju]

I think this is the best thing my ears have ever heard. My soul is at peace, what a perfect sound. Thank you so much :)

[abovebiscuitcrumbs]

I'm so happy to have discovered him (and only as of yesterday no less). This song has given me chills both times I've heard it now... and I don't see that going away aanytime soon.

[khadijicheatham]

Thank you Insecure. I thought this was a woman when I first heard it but I'm not disappointed. That was absolutely beautiful.

[mercyogbee]

"My wings are made of plastic, girl "😍

[MadManest]

It's a fact, God has not given up on us. He gives us a voice like this to let us know music of old is new again.
