    this voice could stand up to some of the greatest soul artists of all time

      the voice is only an instrument

      Miscellaneous but voice is coming from heart. Heart is the magic key to doors calling "beautiful" . We all hear this.

    • @modernlacuna
      @modernlacuna 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Miscellaneous I don't know what you're trying to say. The voice is an instrument, yes. Does that mean the voice of Kwabs couldn't stand up to the voices of some of the greatest soul artists of all time?

    • @mescellaneous
      @mescellaneous 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      AndroZeus just like how it's not the instrument that makes the artist, his deep voice doesn't make him any more soulful.
      i was looking up james blake covers and i didn't find this cover matched or surpassed the original in any way except style.

  • @irgendwelchedinge
    @irgendwelchedinge 8 ปีที่แล้ว +158

    I have not seen one successful James Blake cover because his voice is just unbeatable but THIS!!! Kwabs did an amazing job in changing this up enough to make it his own but also doing justice to the original!

  • @drunkbanana8785
    @drunkbanana8785 9 ปีที่แล้ว +143

    Oh my gosh. The original song was beautiful but he REALLY changed this up and I feel so different. Such a beautiful voice and such a beautiful song. I can't put into words how beautiful this is.

  • @leroyjnr21

    Sacred. Listening to this song is an out of body experience.
    Lyrics:
    I don’t know about my dreams
    I don’t know about my dreaming anymore
    All that I know is
    I’m falling, falling, falling, falling
    I don’t know about my love
    I don’t know about my loving anymore
    All that I know is
    I’m falling, falling, falling, falling
    …I’m falling for you
    Where are all the stars?
    Where are all the walls keeping us apart?
    Well light the light and break them down
    I don’t want them around
    I want the one who doesn’t know
    Who takes me to and fro
    Well love me still, keep me safe
    All is joy when I’m awake
    What is this feeling for?
    What is this loving I can’t ignore?
    Well, I don’t know, I can’t say
    All I know…
    I don’t know about my dreams
    I don’t know about my dreaming anymore
    All that I know is
    I’m falling, falling, falling, falling
    I don’t know about my dreams
    I don’t know about my dreaming anymore
    All that I know is
    I’m falling, falling, falling, falling
    I don’t know about my love
    About my love anymore
    All that I know is
    I’m falling, falling, falling, falling

    @MyEscopeta 9 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    Kwabs, one thing is for sure, James Blake would NEVER attempt to cover one of your tracks, his vocals are not even on the first rung of your ladder. Your band and backing vocalists on this and other tracks are always first class. I am old enough to be your Grandfather, but your voice still gives me goose bumps. Keep at it mate, you are destined for great things.

  • @ReneRenie
    @ReneRenie 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Christ. We have so much good music in this country. The original is wonderful, this cover is amazing. Why, why, why are our artists not ruling the world? Kwabs, you nailed it, your skinny white guys are playing their socks off. This should be a million seller, and it's frankly a disgrace that it's not.

      sandysanchez4 No, don't be so harsh. We're all friends here. I meant it as a joke when I said it, but some people have sensitivities. I'm a fat balding bloke in my sixties - hard to be sensitive about that!

    • @flo15jo
      @flo15jo 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Flo Jo Coming back to say that while it may not be a million seller - who sells anything like that these days? - but the views are at least climbing towards that figure, and that's a GOOD thing.
