First Johnny Cash sings Hurt.
Then Charles Bradley sings Changes.
There's something powerfully humbling about old men singing young mens' songs, and putting a lifetime of experience into them.

I once heard someone say, it's the duty of artists to go into the darkness and bring something back that's tangible for people to heal themselves with. Thank you Charles. Rest in peace.

I will be 79 in less than a month, this song made me cry my eyes out. I was married for 53 years to the BEST woman ever ! She never lied, never drank, never smoked, never did a drug, never cursed, she was SOOOO beautiful, she came down with Parkinson's 13 years ago, I took COMPLETE care of her for ten years, I CAN NOT GET OVER THIS LOSS, I want to be with her again, I can't stop the tears

I’m 25 now and Charles was my next door neighbor throughout my entire childhood up until he died. I live in the projects so it’s not the easiest to navigate through life as a young black man in that environment, but Charles always gave me kind words of advice and the occasional spare change to get some snacks in the summer. He always praised me for keeping on the straight and narrow path.

He loved his Parrot, he loved his mother (clearly!) and he loved people. Most of the times I saw him he was on his way to his mothers house to comfort/ care for her. She was all he had, and vice versa. He didn’t have much materially and he was struggling with loneliness towards the end of his own life. I wish I had the awareness 7 years ago to actually speak to and console/comfort Charles in his hard times.

I just want people to see the side of Charles that I got an opportunity to see. The emotion and pain in his voice is real and it’s from his experiences he had to endure in his short, hard life. Im glad I stumbled upon this video, Rest In Peace Charles, you were a great example of a good man and I will always remember you.

This song proves what I’ve been saying for years. You can only successfully cover a song if you sing it like it’s yours.

My mother is dying of stage 4 lung cancer right now. She has maybe a few days. This helps. Charles Bradley was a true conduit for soul. When people start clapping at the end, he snaps out of it....the spell is broken, he opens his eyes and returns to the "real" world. Anyone who's visited that world, even briefly, is lucky to have experienced something most people will never know.

Saw Charles live and between songs I shouted "I love you Charles" and he looked right at me and said "I love you too my brother" so genuinely it moved me; after the last song he hopped off stage to hug a girl in a wheelchair and preceded to hug half the people in the crowd...he smelled like coconuts and heaven. RIP Charles you beautiful soul.

I lost my Mama. I can relate. Black is white. Up is down. My life will never be the same. When he calls for his Mom. I felt that. Thanks Charles! Rip

Ozzy said Charles' version blew him away and that he took the song to a new level. That man bore his soul on this song and leave it to anonymous people on the web to dislike it.

He was singing to his mom, not the people in front of him.
