Es dificil transmitir un sentimiento a través de la voz. Por eso no cualquiera que canta bien, es un artista. Tienes un gran talento. Gracias por este regalo
This is the first cover I've heard of "Lift Me Up" that does not forfeit the raw emotion of grief that is so essential to the lyrics of this song for the added color of interpretation. Your voice and rendering of this song is as close to perfect as it gets. Thank you so much. I'm a big fan.
Coming across to your acoutic cover of this song and hearing listening to your voice brought some comfort to me. Thank You for making me feel a bit happy again.
My son was killed this year and I promise you, your voice has my spirit floating, this gave me chills...You are very Blessed with your beautiful voice, thank you for this...God Bless you❤️
I knew you were going to be one of the first to jump on this song and cover it. 💯 Great job as always. You will have covered another Grammy award winning song soon.
Yesterday, my two and a half months old daughter was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia ... The lyrics sound like they're coming from her to my wife and I. Heartbreaking ... Thank you for this song.
This song suits your vocals so much ❤️ Today is my Mom's birthday and I lost her 3 years ago.. For some reason this is so fulfilling and healing to hear ❤️❤️
This is soo warm and soothing. I was looking forward to seeing my fav artists make a cover of this song. You did it so beautifully Will. Thanks from my heart♥

My husband just died unexpectedly. This song makes me cry but it comforts me too. My husband worked on Black Panther as a camera operator. I feel him in this song. His name was Will.
