Lyrics
My soul is yearning and I'm longing too
See my day time, see me breaking through
My time is coming soon
So I'm waiting, I'll be waiting
For you, my friend
My load ain't burdened that I count me too
My key, my body, all the things that I do
My time is coming soon
So I'm waiting, I'll be waiting
For you, my friend
Ooh, will it stay? Ooh
Ooh, will it break for me?
A toll has taken all the song that's in me
The road they're making won't take me where I should be
My song is coming soon
So I'm waiting, I'll be waiting
Always waiting for you, my friend
#Kiwanuka

Only a person with a very old soul or a person who went through a lot of pain and desperation can create such a beautiful and touching piece of art, and make a powerful and appealing message for all good people in this difficult times...
💗💗🙏
Well said
How's about somebody that still making list and it's long this guy is very inspirational for those who are down looking up
Well done me too I waiting my son my sul for my little crepi col heart :( but never give up
Ll .❤ 😂😢😅
H h.
See see
If this made you cry, I’m convinced you have a beautiful soul.
I almost peed myself. A little bit.
Don't watch this while laying down, or you might drown in your tears
These are moments I lived with my mother. All she could remember was my father. I would dance with here and she would call me my dad's name for a few minutes then she would disappear in her wonders. So many times she ran out looking for him not knowing where she was. Amazing music powerful video.
I haven´t had that kind of experience, but just the video and your story... man my heart shuddered for a while.
Life is cruel in it's nondiscrimination, very cruel.
It is sad that people have to experience things like this. But then again, in some mysterious ways, these are things that will make you stronger. Since it's been 2 years since you posted this, I hope that your mother is in a better place now. Stay strong and God bless.
I've been home again 4 yrs. 24/7 . Mom's 89 , with dimentia , but hops like bunny . Dad's 101 . Can't walk , yet completely lucid .
I REFUSE to dump them in a SNF
This video had me sobbing. When you understand what dementia/ Alzheimer's does to a person and their family who watch someone they love and depended on fade away, this video will tear your heart out. And such beautiful lyrics too.
7 YEARS LATER - still sobbing.. still...
I have faded away from my grandmother a bit, but I love her so much. I hope that I can be her guiding light if or when this happens to her. Even if she doesn't remember me, I won't take it personal. I just want her to feel as comfortable as happy as she made me feel when I was young, when she took care of me. Damn. Moms and grandmas are something special.
Note to self: Go now. Go again. Be there. Life is short. Your family needs you.
I love this man's soul...his music, his voice are beautiful.
Stirred to soulful perfection.
I'd really love for the world to see/hear what I see/hear in him. This generations will be more than anyone could imagine
Me too
He’s absolutely one of my favorites!,,
Why doesn't everyone know about this amazing man ? And I simply have no clue how anyone can dislike his music.... all of his music is so beautiful moving...Real Life ...God Bless Micheal Kiwanuka for his beautiful soul and sharing his gifts with us ! 💕
I listened to this song over and over since I found it today. I was crying everytime. It touched my heart. I will keep this song like a treasure. 🤧🖤
Michael, you're only 30 years old - you're not meant to know these things. You've reduced me to tears. Don't know whether to love you or hate you for that, but you're certainly an artist.
In fact, Kiwanuka was 25 yrs old when this came out! So much depth and wisdom in his songs
🫂💜
This song is just so sad, I love it. My wifes mum died 18 months ago and had been suffering from alzheimers and looked unbelievably like this lady in the video. Such a great combination of music to video.
Omg! 😭😭 how can he be this good and I don't hear people talking about him or giving him awards. Has he been nominated to any? I honestly don't know but if he hasn't he surely deserves it! Each song is like a piece of art! Is the kind of music that touches your soul!
Yes he's won some very prestigious awards in the UK. He certainly deserves to win alot more!
Agree .I feel the same the music 🎶 industry is preset .rigged
Awards are for popularity not reality...
Made me cry, beautiful song. The actress was amazing!
A very beautiful lady.
She is a really strong actress. If you haven't already, you can see her strong interpretation in the movie Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Here is some more info on her : www.revistasexcelencias.com/en/arte-por-excelencias/%C2%BFy-ahora-que-bola/cuba/veronica-lynn-perfect-formula-great-actress
When she sings the lyrics, makes me feel so sad...beautiful sad song...
Not only the lyrics and melodies but so the visuals are healing.
This-is-just... Wow.
This song makes me cry every damn time. Never fails!
i don't know what there is to say. This song accompanied by video really knocked me down and woke me up. Its beautiful. Stunning. I came upon this artist by accident, listening to canadian radio station, driving my children to school. The way my youngest was sitting in the seat, sweet, innocent ,ready for school, matched perfect to a song playing. I did not want to forget the song, so I took a video of him sitting so nice.. with "getting ready" in the background. I'm now a huge , HUGE fan.
She had a memory of a time that was very special and it brought her out of her age for a moment. God let people have their moment even if you can't understand. Maybe its because you haven't lived a life.
👍
This reminds me of my grandmother. She has Alzheimer's. Thank you for such great music.
i think i'm a Philistine, i know i'm culturless, is this art.? if so , then i'm hooked
Its been years since ive seen this video. I cried then. Im cry now. Im convinced ill cry every time. Such a beautiful piece.
Same. It is just so beautiful. Reminds me of an absolutely beautiful girl but werent meant to be together...she said let's, I backed down, like always. Omg...story of my life in one song
This is trully an amazin song. So beautiful. The melody reminds me of spaghetti westerns soundtracks by Ennio Morricone. But with the right touch of emotion.
Sergio André Castelani oh god. It's MORRICONE. Jesus Christ.
How can people dislike a singer like him!?
IDK! this guys MUSIC is totally AWESOME!
They want electronic bubblegum music. 😐
Weird. What's to dislike? Beautiful stuff. Some people are just plain deaf.
Because some people are idiots who wouldn't know pure talent if it slapped them in the face! Michael Kiwanuka is a truly talented singer who deserves far more recognition!
Just some stupid people, they don't know.
Why does his music and visuals always touch my soul?
Tracy Snyder fabiola
the Spanish at the beginning was actually my very favorite part of the song...great song
Thank you Michael Kiwanuka. #SOULFOOD
Favourite song in the whole album
Hola, hello, Hi, Salam Maleikum, 😘
This is heartbreaking and beautifully executed in the simplicity of the story. Thank you!
the beginning 20 seconds of this video made me just want to burst out in tears.
When I heard this song, I listened to it all night. I'm a psychiatrist, maybe an old lady with Alzheimer's disease. Fragments of youth memories appear, chaotic, beautiful film colors, a beautiful sadness.. Love your talent!
Beautiful sadness are the words. TY
We truly truly do not realize how beautiful life is.. and before you know it.. it’s over.. damn this song is strong.. way to go Michael
Kiwanuka is skilled at causing my heart to simultaneously swell and break.
He gets me all in my feels with the music and the videos just pull me to another level.
This shows his music is relevant and present in people - god bless, Kiwanuka x
Wow... Wow... Wow... Simply wow... No other words to describe this. 😍❤️
Strong, Heavy...
wow, I didn't expect the video to hit me that hard.
WoooooW, me too!!!
Same here.
This man is ingenious. Not your typical A4 format artist. Listen to him, because he has something he wants to tell us through his music.
This is so sad, it brought tears to my eyes and reminded me of a love I named soul! My love for him was immeasurable and I would wait a lifetime for him if need be. He's an artist painter It took me back to him! it fit us perfectly and his name is Victor so it was even more significant. Thank you for this brilliant song.
You still have time to go find your love Soul if he is not already with someone else, do not waste time, this life is like smoke, passes away so quick.. Do not hesitate to go get the person you love
Has your love come true?
the song and the actor's performance are the Best!
Oh, La Habana! Thank you, Michael Kiwanuka. Beautiful music and beautiful images of Havana: . The Plaza de Armas, the malecon, the people. It was very nice surprise to see Verónica Lynn in this video. For once, real people, real images of my beautiful Havana:. Thanks, Michael. You are great.
His music is so pure
Bravo sir, bravo
Indeed. his soul, indescribable... Beautiful
The ending shocked the hell out of me, and just about brought a tear to my eye. Duh. It seems obvious what the whole video and song is about now.
I need to go spend some time with my grandma. ASAP.. Life is too short to wait. Thank you Michael ♥. Beautiful.
Oh just awesome...song and video...soooo good this! In every old person there is always a young soul. Beautiful, beautiful song! ♥
Suzyhazelwood. Yep. . .even at 50 (just) I think back to when I was 20 in a melancholic mood and maybe just a little bit of sadness. This vid and song go so so so well together . . .makes me think of carefree days of my youth with a heavy heart.
Martina M 🙄 maybe you're right. I'm 22 in my mind. . . .but my body . . .and experience tells me . . no.
I don't believe we have a 'soul' as such but i don't want to argue as my experience tells me neither of us can prove we are right or the other wrong.
What i do know is I love this song and think it's enhanced by this vid. ☯️☮
Thanks. I am a fan for life.
It's been a Manic Monday so let's Go Crazy and party like it's 1999
I was at Starbucks 4 years ago at the right TIME. This song played and I found out the name and it became the best song to cry to.
You, me, Starbucks, Germany 2014. but life had other plans..
Wow, this video is so emotional ...I love your songs, but this video for real brought me to tears ....
+erika storelli
Same here...
2nd that~
3rd that....powerfully beautiful
me too....
same here, i cant stop see this video even makes me cry. a lot of emotions. me hace recordar y sentir miles de cosas. Igualmente me hace sentir tan enamorada.
So here's the deal. Friend of my girlfriend shows her this guy and she instantly get's in love with his music. Shows him to my dad (who is old school and does not get into anything after 90s basicly) so he gets in love with this guy as well and can't stop talking how he is plesently suprised and then they turn on his music every time and now I end up listening to this ALL THE TIME cause I can't stop anymore ;)
Flambass one of my favorite things about music is sharing it with others and spreading the joy. Hell, it's one of my favorite things in life itself :)
Flambass absolutely. I saw him on Saturday night at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park New Jersey with Gary Clark Jr.. life changing for me
Yes, me too!
Worse things can happen in life, my friend. Thanks for sharing your story.
this song is made me feel sad and cry,, so touching. Im also waiting someone who was my childhood friend to see just one time till my last breath. We are so far away from last 30 yrs ago. I miss you Papoo.
OMG! Life, Death, Love, Passion. This song and video are amazing. We are little grains of sand in the desert of time so make sure you live every day. No regrets.
Cheers everyone.
Wow ❤️most beautiful feelings❤️
Just when i thought that music from the sixties and seventies was dead, this guy comes along and resurrect it again. In the word of al pacino, # whoa!
The message in your songs, the pain anguish, and yet u never grow up in Uganda to know it is something I can never get about you. Watching this kills my heart the fear that I might really have dementia at a young age(31) and won't have to see my son grow up...I havent gotten the guts yet to tell my family or my husband, he wants us to have more children but I keep saying know cause I cant imagine not being there to see them grow
I can't even watch this...it instantly made me cry so much!! Reminds me of my mother who recently passed away. She lost her memories at the end..It was the saddest thing to watch...It still haunts me..the day she walked out of the house barefoot..looking for something,, not knowing where she was, me begging her to come back in the house.. hardest thing to witness..... Reminds me also of myself, waiting.. waiting for love, waiting for something good to happen....
Sorry for you Lewis, God loves you and he's got you. Everything will be alright
Beautiful, this guy has so much talent. I hope i get to see him in concert one day.
Wow just wow !!
Oh. Wow. My goodness. This is genius. x
me encanta su voz tiene mucho soul ,el video fue realizado en la habana, CUBA, y la senora es una actriz de gran calibre su nombre veronica lynn
Gracias x la info 👍
Sempre esperando ❤
I immediately cried watching this video. I didn't quite understand why but found the woman did remind me of my mom in her last days. This man always touches my soul and brings me to an emotion I tend to burry. Thank you for helping me cope with pain rather than continue to carry it❤
1er album : la candeur du débutant et l'expérience de mille vies...
et pour ne rien gâcher le clip est bouleversant!!
This made me cry
Guys, I recommend you watch The Father. Such a great movie. This lovely lady reminded me of Anthony Hopkins.
Dear Michael, you're on my bucket list. Hope to see you live one day. Or, to make it easier, please consider having a gig in Jakarta. Love
I felt this sense of earth shattering in my soul
beautiful song, amazing video clip
My soul is yearning and I'm longing too
See my day time, see me breaking through
My time is coming soon
So I'm waiting, I'll be waiting
For you, my friend
My load ain't burdened that I count me too
My key, my body, all the things that I do
My time is coming soon
So I'm waiting, I'll be waiting
For you, my friend
Ooh, will it stay? Ooh
Ooh, will it break for me?
A toll has taken all the song that's in me
The road they're making won't take me where I should be
My song is coming soon
So I'm waiting, I'll be waiting
Always waiting for you, my friend
If you're going to post the lyrics, use the correct ones please
This young man's lyrics are so spiritual, absolutely love how the symmetry of all the different instruments roll's with the splender of such a unique voice!!!
He is an Artisan of the music industry and a talented genius of the guitar as well as vocal range reminds me of a new Jimmy Hendricks
so beautiful
This song is so well produced musically bars, instruments and chorus. Why isn't this guy nominated for a grammy
Love is a useless pursuit in search of another soul ...a detached life is far better than an insecure love...
yeah yeah Hate is much useful seeing the world today
Never has a song touched me this hard.
An exceptionally moving song and video.
Michael Kiwanuka is an important person/artist. What power he holds.
I feel grateful.
I must listen more to this whole album rare now to want to listen to a whole album end to end but it has a great vibe as each song progresses. The songs give me a feeling of a hot dusty country road on a beautiful warm summer's day like life is ahead to be explored and anything is possible just go easy and slow. Soothes my aching spirit.
word! couldn't have said it better
wow. music that transcends time. Love is still alive, though world has deceit has truth. We must persevere and find the promised land. I hope to make music and write like Michael does. Peace and Love to all
MICHAEL..you are BIG MUSICIAN ...- stay in your ROAD - don t listen to anyone for ...EASY hits .=KEEP DREAMING,,,
This poignant video makes me cry while I am watching, it's touching me deep inside. We all comes to a moment as we gets older each passing day, month, years.. All things we remembered about our youth. The lost love we had feels like a melancholy woman as I am.. I was waiting for my lover but he never shows up. I assume it was never meant to be.. I still don't give up and waiting for a miracle.. Thank you for this beautiful song Michael Kiwanuka.. Love from Holland

I LOVE IT !! SO TOUCHING !!
Hello my beautiful friend 😍😘🎶🎵🎶🎵🍃🌹🎸
Michael your music touched me deeply, you are an old soul, you are great.
Beautiful song on its own, but the video makes it more. I don't know the words to use to describe what this made me feel, but I had only cried 4 times in my adult life, this made it 5. Thank you to every and anyone that had a hand in creating this masterpiece.
OmG tears won't stop, ,,, and give her that FECKING key back!!
Wow this guy is incredible. The only person I can think to compare him to is Paul Simon. He's that level.
Wow, that's beautiful. When she reaches for her necklace after it's taken away I was very moved.
this guy is so amazing, and i speak spanish, 'm from Ecuador. Este chico es increible. Todas sus canciones tocan mi alma.
I wasnt watching the video, just listening to the song till I heard spanish and came over. This was filmed in Havana Cuba, my hometown. Endless memories walking those streets!!.. Nice surprise! Sad song though.. Michael is very talented, his music is pure bliss.. Thanks for it! Man, the scene at the end by the payphone is across from the Cementery Colón. Thats where my mom was buried in 1994 when I was 8.. Have not been back in so long.. darnit Michael you making me cry now.. :(
Achingly beautiful. Moved to tears.
shit.... that was a Damm powerful video, never seen anything like if.
michael kawanaka.... Where did you come from.... your awesone!!!
Only music to calm me down. 🙏
Your songs have identified me so much. It's like a mixture of emotions, of grins and teary eyes all together...
SO BEAUTIFUL STILL
💜❤️ thanks
Mu County boy 👦 big up kiwanuka
La música, la letra y el vídeo son realmente hermosos.
The video is heartbreaking!!
OMG this video just made me cry so hard, but i love it. So deep.
The clip was filmed in Havana it made sad since I was born in Cuba and Havana used to be my favorite city in the island. I remember the actress and all those places too. This guy is very talented I just happened to know about him, I listened to Home Again on Invasion and had to look it up!
just discovered your music today....your music is heartbreakingly beautiful....have me in tears watching...so touching!
wow. it just touched me so much, profound and straight in the heart...I thought same will happen to me if i will not let go my love. i dont want be old lady...sometimes it`s time to let go beautiful love, not get crazy isn`t?
Unbelievable, I had to stare in space for a minute to digest my thoughts and emotions that came out after seeing this video. This is what true Art Is. I'm so Grateful to have seen this work. Thank You 😊
Songs like this make me rethink about the things im doing in my life
This man is like my Song Father guys. Love it.
