Very rarely does a song bring me to tears with the first note but this one did. I am in a marriage with someone who doesn't love me anymore and it hurts. I still love her but we have grown so far apart and it hurts. I do a good job hiding it but it hurts. It hurts. Thank you for this music. I needed to cry.

Life goal.. Find another human that gets the messages in that song...

I'm a grown fuckin man but his music can bring a tear to my eyes

[paradoxicalbox]

This song is beautiful. This man's soul is beautiful

[timrichards]

I know why .. Cause its good music..
The beauty of the heart and soul hidden behind everything else out there.
This guy is one of them..
Amazing ..

[DeathValleyDebbie]

His music is not only amazing, but he’s seriously one of the nicest guys to his fans.

Nearly 2 years ago i was diagnosed with a massive tumor in my spine. 2 surgeries and 3 months in the hospital I'm exceeding recovery expectations. My beautiful wife was a key factor in my recovery, I dont know how I would have done it without her. A little over a month ago she left me. She told me she wasnt attracted to me any longer and needed to be held tight and that I could no longer give her what she needed. My hands were affected the worst by the nerve damage. I came across this song randomly the other night and it broke my heart listening to it.... Bless anyone who's dealing with a hardship/disability like this. Keep your head up, good things are in store for you.

Heartfelt!!!! Pulled my heart strings completely out#!!! My husband had cancer and became paralyzed from the waste down. He was only 32. I STAYED!!!! I LOVE ( Loved) him and would have did anything for him . I'd traded places with him to take his pain away. I lost him after his 3yr fight finally ended. I STAYED and would do it all over again ...over and over....to just have him with me again!!! That's what it's all about.... You and your spouse/ partner....you are 1 . Love. If it's real....YES! YOU WILL STAY!!! Thanks for this emotional ...extremely deep...heartfelt song.

I lost my husband 3 1/2 yrs ago and the pain suffocates me daily. He was my everything. I took care of him and stood beside him through the good and bad times, all with unconditional LOVE. I would do anything to have him back, I MEAN ANYTHING!!! THIS SONG SAYS IT ALL. THE STRANGE THING IS HE LOOKS LIKE MY LATE HUSBAND

I have been a fan of the white Buffalo since 2019 and every time I listen to his song I just get relaxed and I get my day done with a good head space

Probably the only south African that listens to your songs ( 🇿🇦)

If I lost my eyes
Would you stay with me
Would you take me by the hand
Tell me what you see

Fill my head with colors for my dreams
If I lost my eyes
If I lost my eyes

If I lost my hands
Couldn’t feel a thing
If my touch was gone forever
Out of reach
Couldn’t hold you like a woman needs to be
If I lost my hands
If I lost my hands

Would you stay
Would you stay
Or would you stray
Just run away
Or would you give me something to believe in
Would you show me the way
You believe so I believe

If I lost my mind
Would you stay with me
Remind me of the man I used to be
Fill my head with hope times infinity
If I lost my mind
If I lost my hands
Oh, if I lost my eyes

Would you stay
Would you stay
Would you stay

He reminds me of when Eddie Vedder did the soundtrack for Into the Wild.

[paintedmustang]

I could listen to you sing all day. Truly gifted.

I watch/listen to this video everyday to remind me of my late husband!! During his months, weeks and days, he was in and out of lucidness, and I relished in the moments when he was very LUCID and spoke of his love for me, our children and grandchildren. I miss him so deeply, and Pray often that God come and take me home to be with him. I know our children and grandchildren need and want me here, but the pain is often so paralyzing that I feel the only relief would to go to Heaven!!! TEARS FLOW EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS SONG

[jamesryangrant]

I love this guy ! He plays and sings from the soul ! Truly appreciated and underappreciated ! A true artist !

[Gratefulman]

Found this guy a few years back. Just incredible. The one true sign of a monster talent is it speaks to your soul. This guy speaks to mine like few others do.

[curtismallette]

He does a really good feathering his voice with such a low tone. Well done

Who else has such a beautiful, clean vocal range? I have had so many emotional moments listening to this song - most often thinking of my aging old friend and companion - my dog. He will be my reason for living until his last day.

Beautiful song, beautiful musician. Buffalo really touch's my heart.
