By the time that artist records this, the living Soul is already off to another part of journey. The rotating record never stops. You can stop, rewind and repeat a favorite song when you fall in love, but time does not stand still. Those souls writing the thought and feelings of the sleeping dreamers are capturing bits and pieces of old memories of those who don't even know they are being heard. You may end up in another space and time among unlike energies trying to preserve the last of your sanity if you fall off the record at the wrong time. But, if you really listen to the lyrics, most artists are searching for their like energies among many. And writing through the happiness or the pain is difficult while you are living it. So, there are writers and artists for that. The Soul going through it looks for reciprocity rather than recognition. The antagonist stands in the middle and prevents the merge, like a dam holding back a flood, knowing someone somewhere is going to relate to the memories and keep the record rotating. It's programmed isolation and causes trauma in the astral body. But, it's also responsible for the flow of the Current Sea.
Truly like not only is is charming in its melody but the energy of getting that shit off your chest with real bravado and fury that this situation would warrant is nothing short of therapeutic
Saw him in concert last night in Philly!!! Fire is an understatement. Immense talent. Vocals live are exact. Instrumentation is beyond. Already was a fan, now I STAN for Xavier Omar.
"If This Is Love" Why are we here? Why are we wasting all of this time now? Let me be clear baby You won't be stressing me in my prime now You need to speak to me better Talk to me like I'm worth a damn You could be treating me better And I could be doing well on my on now, now, now You say baby "Hold me tight Don't let go Ease my mind Keep me close Hold me tight" You're so subjective This don't reflect what you give me You're so subjective If this is love I don't want it I don't need it I could live without it Oh I thought that I was okay (Ain't I) treat you all the best ways? (Ain't I) there whenever you call? (Ain't I) check my tone when we don't agree And I watch my words like a hawk? (Ain't I) make it right when I'm wrong? (Ain't I) stay away from what'cha don't like? (Ain't I?) It's super fake that you can't relate You need to speak to me better Trying to hide the truth You've got all these expectations but they don't apply to you I'm not here for it I don't want that for myself I could be doing well on my own now, now, now You say baby "Hold me tight Don't let go Ease my mind Keep me close Hold me tight" You're so subjective This don't reflect what you give me If this is love I don't want it I don't need it I could live without it
This song came across my playlist 4 years ago during a rough break up, and these words couldn’t have been better said! Still playing this joint to this day ❤
I found this song right before I got into my 4 year relationship and we just broke up today and I honestly gave my all and if a person doesn't respect you the relationship will not work. I feel free today this was the perfect song ❤❤❤❤
thank you so much for your music. please continue doing what you do, i hope the world will one day give you the appreciation you truly deserve. you're one of my favourite artists and i hope you can visit europe sometime. would love to hear your wonderful voice live!

These lyrics , voice & the music... brilliant🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦😍😍😍 it gave me even more love than I ever thought I could have for the art of music 💯 am in awe , so intense to hear this
Back when this came out, I listened to this so much that I just couldnt anymore. So I waited until I could "enjoy" it again. It still has always been an earworm till then. Now some time later this feels like listening to it for the first time again, I took a tolerance break from this song heh
Este tema es tan relajante y agresivo a la vez que me encanta, si esta cancion no es reconocida en el futuro como el himno de la superacion estare decepcionado
Bro is telling them (women) exactly what it takes to be wife material. First line, Don't waste time. Second line, don't waste time. Third line, be clear, don't stress me. Fourth line speak to me with respect. Fifth line don't be subjective about what you bring to the table, be concrete. Then he tells how he does all of the things he ask of you. And the theme repeats.❤
Aku TheAntagonist Could you help me get a better understanding of when he said “you’ve got all these expectations but they don’t apply to you.” I don’t really know what that means :(
If only, this artist could receive the recognition deserved. Just be honest, this is true music.
Real music
Most definately
exactly

Oh but he will, in his due time..
How the hell was this song not #1 for years...barely hearing it today and blown away by the music and lyrics...damn it is good!!
"You've got all these expectations, but they don't apply to you" PREACH......
I felt that part
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@CC-Queen We all did. I sing my heart out on that part lol
damn
i sing that part out loud so my girl can hear
I have this song on repeat. His voice, the lyrics, the instrumentals - EVERYTHING WORKS.
Truly like not only is is charming in its melody but the energy of getting that shit off your chest with real bravado and fury that this situation would warrant is nothing short of therapeutic
Saw him in concert last night in Philly!!! Fire is an understatement. Immense talent. Vocals live are exact. Instrumentation is beyond. Already was a fan, now I STAN for Xavier Omar.
Oh man very lucky
This dude's background vocals are always on point!!
I thought I was the only one appreciating this.... top class!
I LOVE THIS SONG!! When I first heard it I felt like it was speaking to me directly. Made me gather myself!! So much respect.
"If This Is Love"
Why are we here?
Why are we wasting all of this time now?
Let me be clear baby
You won't be stressing me in my prime now
You need to speak to me better
Talk to me like I'm worth a damn
You could be treating me better
And I could be doing well on my on now, now, now
You say baby
"Hold me tight
Don't let go
Ease my mind
Keep me close
Hold me tight"
You're so subjective
This don't reflect what you give me
You're so subjective
If this is love
I don't want it
I don't need it
I could live without it
Oh I thought that I was okay
(Ain't I) treat you all the best ways?
(Ain't I) there whenever you call?
(Ain't I) check my tone when we don't agree
And I watch my words like a hawk?
(Ain't I) make it right when I'm wrong?
(Ain't I) stay away from what'cha don't like?
(Ain't I?)
It's super fake that you can't relate
You need to speak to me better
Trying to hide the truth
You've got all these expectations but they don't apply to you
I'm not here for it
I don't want that for myself
I could be doing well on my own now, now, now
You say baby
"Hold me tight
Don't let go
Ease my mind
Keep me close
Hold me tight"
You're so subjective
This don't reflect what you give me
If this is love
I don't want it
I don't need it
I could live without it

Hold me tight …don’t let let go”
"Talk to me like I'm worth a damn"
"You need to speak to me better"
I just love those lyrics so much
Period
This is a musical and lyrical masterpiece
This music has its own personality
“If this is love,
I don't want it,
I don't need it,
I could live without it..”
Why are we here?
Why are we wasting all of this time now?
Let me be clear baby
You won't be stressing me in my prime now
You need to speak to me better
Talk to me like I'm worth a damn
You could be treating me better
And I could be doing well on my on now, now, now
You say baby
"Hold me tight
Don't let go
Ease my mind
Keep me close
Hold me tight"
You're so subjective
This don't reflect what you give me
You're so subjective
If this is love
I don't want it
I don't need it
I could live without it
Oh I thought that I was okay
(Ain't I) treat you all the best ways?
(Ain't I) there whenever you call?
(Ain't I) check my tone when we don't agree
And I watch my words like a hawk?
(Ain't I) make it right when I'm wrong?
(Ain't I) stay away from what'cha don't like?
(Ain't I?)
It's super fake that you can't relate
You need to speak to me better
Trying to hide the truth
You've got all these expectations but they don't apply to you
I'm not here for it
I don't want that for myself
I could be doing well on my own now, now, now
You say baby
"Hold me tight
Don't let go
Ease my mind
Keep me close
Hold me tight"
You're so subjective
This don't reflect what you give me
If this is love
I don't want it
I don't need it
I could live without it
Found it on Spotify & now I’m obsessed 🥺
everytime I listen to this song it somehow gets better
me: i cant dance
*play this song*
me: start cursive dancing
The emotions this evokes from me 😩👌🏽❤️
The ultimate I'm about to break it off with you song.
And he still don't get it....
Yup!
On New Yrs Eve and just sent it to ol boy. Replied back that he wouldn't listen to the song and that my ego is on fire.
This is my anthem right now.
These lyrics , voice & the music... brilliant🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦😍😍😍 it gave me even more love than I ever thought I could have for the art of music 💯 am in awe , so intense to hear this
I like this song more men need to know their self worth. Don't accept half ass love!
Lights Candles & Vibes Out. Beautifully Sung
Ok..... Just added this to my "Black Roses" playlist...😂😂😂😂😂My new favorite post relationship song!!
You are a musical genius Xavier Omar 👌🏾
Stephan Attilus yes he is!!!!!!
“Break up wit him sis” tune right here
*her *bro

I can listen to this all day long
Year 2023 Listening and wanting to know when the next concert is!
Every word is my exact thoughts and current feelings
damn this song hits me right into the feels
Great song; really makes me feel something
Back when this came out, I listened to this so much that I just couldnt anymore. So I waited until I could "enjoy" it again. It still has always been an earworm till then. Now some time later this feels like listening to it for the first time again, I took a tolerance break from this song heh
He is so dope. So nice to find real music again!
"You need to speak to me better!"
SOULFUL, BLACK ESSENCE,STRAIGHT GROWN FOLKS MUSIC PERIOD!!👌👌❤❤💃💃
absolute masterpiece! still sounds fresh like how i heard it 5 years agothe producer did a good job with the foleys and effects
idren, you're killing it for real!!!!! BIG UPS!!!!!!! this production is PURE FIYAH!!!! I'm trying to see who made this beat?
Perfection. I listen to this probably more than I should.
I like those circles, simple yet aesthetic
I was high asf yesterday listening to this
Este tema es tan relajante y agresivo a la vez que me encanta, si esta cancion no es reconocida en el futuro como el himno de la superacion estare decepcionado
So underrated 😪
Did I just find good music on my own??
How are there only 18,000 comments, like this is "worth a damn"
I’m going through a lot right now and this song is helping me out so much
My secret fix. I like that very few know about Xavier. The unknown make timeless music.
Love this song! Listening to this and Jorja Smith really helped to heal my soul during a really hard breakup. Love and respect! 🙌🏽✨🎧❤️
men like Xavier and Russell Wilson thoooo 🙌🏻🙌🏻 men of substance, husband material fosho
You finally have your own channel!!! I'm elated!!
You seem like you've been following this artist for a while...why the name change from sptkrt or whatever? Do you know?
I just love me the underrated ones bcos they're the best 😍❤
0:18 and 1:52 just give me chills over my whole damn body
THIS HAS "BEEN MY MOTTO" 4-EVA...SAY THAT THEN!(LOVE THE WAY U EXPRESS IT...AND THE DRUM/PIANO N THE BACKGROUND*GO CRAZY*)!🤟💯🫡

You've got all these expectations but they don't apply to you. That hit me.
Aku TheAntagonist
Could you help me get a better understanding of when he said “you’ve got all these expectations but they don’t apply to you.”
I don’t really know what that means :(
You cant meet anything you expect from anybody else
Just exquisite
Takes me back to 2016. Oh shit what a time.
I can relate to every line of this song.Caught me right in the feels ❤
Absolutely amazing talent! This guy is really one of a kind 🔥🔥
