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?
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.
I can picture love and even feel it when I listen to this... but then it slips away through my fingers and turns into star dust and lost dreams... a sinking shipwreck that is my mind.
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!
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.
This guy needs to be heard all around the world. In my opinion the 1st male soul voice from th UK to compare with all the soul greats from the USA. love him. Big up KWABS.
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
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.
This rendition is perfection. God has truly blessed you with an amazing gift, one that you have chosen to share with us all. So there is nothing more for me to say other than thank you.
This cover is beautiful and heart whelming. The emotions he projects through his music is just beautiful. It captivates and nearly brings me to tears every time I listen to him.
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!
Wait...he is great now...tomorrow...and my future grandchildren....would listen and know who KWABS was....wait and enjoy him NOW.....he is so BIO naturel....I love him....
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.
The man I'm dating sent me this link brought me to tears. He has me thinking about a lifetime with him. This song will definitely be our first dance at our wedding.
James Willis i love that you know who kwabs is and not sam smith because that speaks volumes of where kwabs should be in relation to sam because kwab is better (just my opinion, sam is good too), yet he hasnt made it as big yet :(
You singing "I don't want them around. I want the one who doesn't know", your voice sinks into this depth that just completely transforms me. Such a beautiful job, boys. Keep keep keep doing your thing.
Your voice is like deep, soulful magic! Your tones are breathtaking 😍. It rattles my Spirit and I'm here for it 100% 🙌. I hate that I'm so late in knowing who you are but thank you for the blessing!
Felt crappy when I thought the song wasn't on anymore. ..... brilliant voice, and band.I see my self sitting in a cafe in long street, Cape Town.... With you guys on the small stage. Making a long week wroth while. .....thank u
STILL UNREAL IN 2024❤❤❤
Thanks for listening : )
Kwabs, please make more music 🙏🏽🙏🏽 the world needs your voice
Your voice is CRAZYYY. I'M A FAN. I NEED MUZIK
I come back to this every few times. Still absolutely obsessed
Found this in 2015 it’s 2020 and will never get old
Beautifully done
Even after 8 years, I always go back to this cover. It’s so bittersweet. Got us in our feels, even in 2021 corona time
Same
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.
***** Well playing an instrument can also come from heart...

I’ve been listening to this version for the past 9 years and it gets me every time 🖤
EVERYYY.TIIIME. 😭😭😭🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽😍😍😍
SHOUTOUT TO THAT GUY HITTING THE BOX

Box be going hard though
Been listening to this since I was 14, 22 now still hits the same. This man is a rare gem of an artist
This still completely destroys me every single listen. Soul shattering.
It’s 2024. ❤ thank you James
It's been 10 years and this is still my singular favorite cover of any song, of all time.
Seriously ethereal.
same
Check out Reckoner by Gnarls Barkley. It’s up there too, different vibe lol
Close your eyes and i swear you can picture love.
Ivan Ruhinda that's a beautiful comment.
Thanks Breana :)
I agree
No love here. Only falling.
I can picture love and even feel it when I listen to this... but then it slips away through my fingers and turns into star dust and lost dreams... a sinking shipwreck that is my mind.

why isn't he MEGAfamous??? fuck society!
Being famous isn't everything! Sometimes it's good to have things and people just to yourself.😌
This guy needs to be heard all around the world. In my opinion the 1st male soul voice from th UK to compare with all the soul greats from the USA. love him. Big up KWABS.
I keep coming back, listening to this song. That voice! 😭❤️
The aching in Kwabs's voice is one of the sweetest sounds I've ever heard.
Genuinely my favourite cover of all time.
Discovered this gem in 2015 and I haven’t stopped listening since. Every time feels like the first. Goosebumps
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
im not crying u crying
It really is , I'm amazed and grateful
This is so sweet :)
Music moves us, lovey.
Literally read this as my eyes welled up and burst out laughing.
6 years later and I’m still not sick of his version! Love this ❤️❤️
Jasmine Terry seriously! 💕
Still in love with this after 5 years
this is actually the best cover on youtube
10 years later and this Is still in the top 10 of my favorite videos on TH-cam
It’s 2019 and I’m still coming back to this 🥰
2020
2021
One of the best voices I have ever heard. I listen to music everyday. 30 years plus. Wow... just wow.
I found this today totally by accident. Lovely.
After so many years this cover is the one ❤❤
9 years later and I’m still find my way back to this
Still in love with cover ❤️
I am just so blown away by this very talented man. Thanks Tom Findlay for turning me on to Kwabs. Has made my day!
This is so quietly heartbreaking.
the deepness and smoothness of his voice is like no other and i don't even know how to respond to this video tbh i just..... wow.
Beautiful
I'm happy I discovered this now
Still here in 2022, this should be on iTunes
I love how, by the end of it he's just so into it that it's almost like he can't contain himself to just sitting on the chair.
I`ll never close this tab from my browser..
Still there?

I swear this made me shed a tear... amazing rendition.. amazin.

***** you're dumb. that's just an accurate description.
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!
Wait...he is great now...tomorrow...and my future grandchildren....would listen and know who KWABS was....wait and enjoy him NOW.....he is so BIO naturel....I love him....
***** it still isn't racist to describe someone by their skin color.
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.
His voice is Godly. Like something divine bestowed itself on him.
Who's here in June 2024❤
He deserves an award this is a beautiful emotionally in depth cover.
Wow. Stay grounded my brother, you have an amazing talent. Breathtaking voice
Why isn't this song on spotify yet? This vid is the only thing that keeps me coming back to YT. Such a vibe. 🙌🏻
Brand new fan, right here.
YES... pure soul on the mic. I love when people can make you feel their music with nothing more than their natural talents
seen this video at least 10 times, still gives me chilllllllsss
It's 2022 and I'm still coming here❤
The first song I ever heard him sing. still the best one tbh
The man I'm dating sent me this link brought me to tears. He has me thinking about a lifetime with him. This song will definitely be our first dance at our wedding.
thats funny because my friend sent me the same song on Friday ... where not that serious but i thought it was so sweet.
Update b???
So many memories with this cover come back when I listen to it after so many years.Still love it so much 🫶
For a song already so soulful I don't know how u put more soul into it. Great cover absolutely loved it.
Amazing, the way he sings, he performs every song. A real talent, good!

It's 2024 and I'm still here🥰
Kwabs... you flow so deep trough my heart, mind and soul... thanxx for your voice, your texts, your tender power...
There are many singers that comes and go, but very few true musicians who have the gift of truly great music
Lord this man is amazing! I can't get enough of him. The band is great too. I've Fallen for you Kwabs!
I love James Blake, but..... this song, this song right here. I mean this guy literally gave me chills! My face is like this 0_0 !!!

James Willis i love that you know who kwabs is and not sam smith because that speaks volumes of where kwabs should be in relation to sam because kwab is better (just my opinion, sam is good too), yet he hasnt made it as big yet :(

You singing "I don't want them around. I want the one who doesn't know", your voice sinks into this depth that just completely transforms me. Such a beautiful job, boys. Keep keep keep doing your thing.
Kwabs is incredible one the 21st century's great voices sent by the Creator for all humanity Wow.

It takes a spectacular amount of talent to out-sing the original artist. You, sir, are the TRUTH!
You betta . . .
I listen to this cover 50 million times a day!!! You have the most beautiful voice i have ever heard!
