Lyrics
Did you ever want it?
Did you want it bad?
Ohhh, my
It tears me apart
Did you ever fight it?
All of the pain
So much pride
Running through my veins
Bleeding, I'm bleeding
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can't stand myself
And I know
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
Did you ever notice
I've been ashamed
All my life
I've been playing games
We can try and hide it
It's all the same
I've been losing you
One day at a time
Bleeding, I'm bleeding
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can't stand myself
And I know
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
Maybe this time I can be strong
But since I know who I am
I'm probably wrong
Maybe this time I can go far
But thinking about where I've been
Ain't helping me start
#Kiwanuka - เพลง
Saw him live when I was battling heroin addiction and it was like a spiritual rebirth for me and this album helped me get clean. Been sober for a year and and a bit.
Keep listening, enjoy 'clean' music!!!
Bro, I've been clean for 12 years and am so thankful every day I have real relationships and live life. Life hurts, but its real and I'm proud of you for choosing yourself and your future. All the best, compadre. Stay the course, I wanted to turn back sometimes, it changes the brain, but you got this!
Wonderful. Keep it up.
Congratulations, I'm so proud of you!!! You got this, one day at a time, and hell, one hour at a time if need be - that's how it is for me sometimes at least. . . . just know that you are stronger than any addiction you may battle in life, keep your head up always, forgive yourself, and ALWAYS ALWAYS love yourself more than any one else ever could!
@@Macamposd So proud of you bro!!! Keep loving yourself and lifting yourself and others up on the daily!!! The world needs more people like you who show understanding, love, and encouragement to others 🤜 🤗👏🙌
I'm 71 years old. I love this song . . can listen to it all night long. I wonder how many other "geezers" my age can appreciate this young man's incredible talent.
Me for one. Got into his music a couple of years ago (except 'I'm a black man in a white world' which I resented
You're 7 years ahead of me. All I can say after the first listen to anything from this artist is, wow.
Not also the man... everyone!! 💖 Luved the choir~
There are plenty of us old geezers here.
I agree with you i can keep on listening to this song
Broke up with a wonderful woman, my son crossed over in February. The pain that is my life right now… just heard this song today 06/22/24.
Tears are real and so is the pain… as real as this amazing music.
Reaches the depths of my soul. Here I cry without a tear as my heart breaks…again.
Military man hard for me to show this much vulnerability.
God I miss them both. My cold little heart……..
Gina Denise Torrez
I'm sorry for your loss good music that reaches the soul to tell all our life stories. Stay strong!!
Heed up pal
Pink Floyd meets Marvin Gaye meets Leonard Cohen. Brilliant sound.
You nailed it. 100% agree!
Great analogy. ❤
Wtf you took the words right out of my mouth
Anyone reading this comment: you have absolutely smashing good taste in music ❤
Subashish Bhattacharjee 👍
Same to you
secret life of plants, stevie wonder.
True...
Thank you :) Same to you :)
My wife and my baby are sleeping right now, long day by the way... i just opened a beer and this song came just to make the day perfect.
Congrats on your newborn sir!
Wish you many more perfect days in your life❤😊
Little joys of life that count the most!
Blessings man

Driving my truck cross country and this song brings tears to my eyes. Loneliness on the highway and missing my family. This is pure talent
Would love to connect and share music! Music is the one thing keeping me from feeling lonely. I would love to share more with you
I wish you all the best bro! You should listen to that song "arriving somewhere but not here". ❤
I wish you all the best!
thank you and your family for everything you do for this country..stay safe.. n my prayers
Be safe on the road. And thank you for doing what you do. 🙏
The intro is so Pink Floydish........ I love it and can't get enough of it!
go check out the album full version. it actually has that... liquid crystal sound of pink floyd. amazing song.
amazing yes. but I can only wait so long, so many times for 6:22 to arrive.
*the intro
Totally!! Even, when i heard this song for the first time, i thought it was pink Floyd but then I saw that it was Michael.
@@void-were-prohibitive nah man, the whole experience is what does it. What you are saying is like wanting to have sex just for reaching orgasm. The whole experience is much more fulfilling than actually reaching the end goal
I don’t think many people fully comprehend the level of skill that it takes to execute such a flawless performance. Every unit in this musical group is working in perfect harmony.
Yep, this is bloody amazing (although recording in a studio does permit to edit and mix)
The song unfolds magnificently, this version is thoroughly mindblowing.
Pink Floyd?
pink floyd
don't focus on the technical performance and enjoy the music
This is not a song, it's a journey into incredible beauty, omg, what a genius, This is the kind of talent the world should be celebrating.
Amen
Absolutely, Agree w/that.....
Agreed. Music isn't dead it's just harder to find
Well said.
Indeed
I'm 76 & listen to this everyday. It brings hidden emotions to the surface of my soul.
@pat … same with me I’m 68 and love this song.
Love ya Pat!
@@chanelv5373 I'm 77 and enjoy this music as well...don't need the joints to get to a good place!
its 2024 an we are still here
I'm now 69 years of age and listen to pop and rock and soul music for maybe 60 years. This young man called Michael Kiwanuka with this song has added a masterpiece to my personal list of songs for eternity, thank you Mr Kiwanuka.
@Georg Eickhoff could you share your list please? I love this song too so you definitely have great taste sir!
👊
Sir, if you perhaps use spotify or have some playlist, I'd love to have a listen to your favorites. I love finding music through people and I'd be very interested in getting to know your faves :)
Can you share some titles sir?
give us your personal list of songs for eternity :p pls
Shine on you crazy Kiwanuka.
Hell yeah you got it buddy! Was looking for a Pink Floyd reference!
I can hear pink Floyd, this is better love it
Right ? Yesssss
Absolutely, everyone has his own style, but.. it's going without any comments..
Beautiful, really!🙌
The name is: shine on you crazy cold little heart 😂😂
The power of music is incredible, I don’t know if my tears are happy or sad but, I can feel this song in my bones.
Its a spine tingler for me .....🥰
I'm 84 years old, and I can't get this beautiful song out of my mind, I truly love it, it makes me feel so grateful to still have my husband here by my side . (63 years). Truly amazing, soulful, singer !
@@agnesgruber7697 Ah, that`s nice. I`m 86 and listen to this a great deal. My old man of 60 years is 90 years old- he doe not appreciate - he ain`t cool !! The intro to this will be played at my wake !!
Yeah this and the video are sublime, and take me specifically right back to my 20’s, working in the St Louis ghetto. Makes me ache all over, but beautifully.
Junho de 2023
Whoever filmed this deserves as much credit as the incredible musicians. Sound and vision in pure harmony
I lost my husband of 42 year slowly to cancer, my one, my only and my last love… Michael you are a gift to us all ! Your music cuts straight through the depths of my heart. My heartbreak of loss, you have just helped me release, as my tears flow down my face l am so touched by your music. l have been holding back for so long, a pain that will never go away, only strengthen all my love and thoughts of our most wonderful life we shared together for so long… My dog Skyler and l are alone now… l lost my husband, Cody our 17 year old healer mix, Casey our 18.5 year dog, my cat Cali who was killed the week he died, and her brother to cancer all in this short period of time… Heartbreak only makes us stronger to help us manage our journeys throughout the rest of our life ! 💔🐾❤️ You become more forgiving, tolerant and loving of so many others. LIFE IS TO SHORT … Forgive, move forward and Love everyone !
Love, Love, Love you and your music ! Thank you so very, very much for all your gifts ! 💔🐾 Melanie and my dog Skyler
Sending my condolences Melanie. So sorry to hear of your loss. Hang in there as best you can and give Skyler a big kiss.
My condolences. This song does speak to many emotions. I agree to your words. i think of love for those that we lost is one of the most natural feelings this cut through. I admire the beautiful sincere words you have written for your husband, you can tell you truly had met and embraced immortal Love through and wkth him. For me, I am thinking of the many miscarriages my wife and I suffered. The hopes of a life and of someone you will never meet. This song leaves me stern and pensive, the thoughts and emotions swim through me. I think we all meet the deepest love and loss emotions thanks to this song..all the best Melanie, may music and thinking of your husband keep your big heart warm, not cold or little. Vito
Thank you for your kind words, my love to you and your family ! ❤️
❤️
🤍🤍🤍
My darling brother introduced me to the sounds of this awesome singer/musician. Sadly my brother passed away 06/10/16 suddenly at the age of 45 yrs. We played this track at his memorial in Australia, so beautiful and haunting.i will always think of Andy when I hear it. R.I.P. XXXX
TRACY BURNELL RIP
so sorry.
Oh wow; just sometimes it can be hard to find answers in all the chaos; seems your brother was on to something big, here - what a great man he was must have been in life; I am so sorry for you. I was JUST thinking I would want this played at mine still have more to explore, and as far as I know I have a few more days but we don't ever know so I live my life that way.
Sorry baby...sorry.
This is a true piece of art and so is your brother. RIP
How does a song do so much healing...this is just incredible.
😭🥰🙏🏿
I'm 60 and wish this version was on Spotify
Today I lost my friend who introduced this song to me. He is just 29. He had so much passion and dreams. Feeling completely void now. This was already my favourite song and listening to this song now more depth and meanings. No matter how far we are, you will always be my brother, and I will never forget all those wonderful memories we shared.. Stay strong everyone. May everyone find peace and happiness in their lives❤️.. love always
My condolences, stay strong.
My deepest condolences bro
My condolences! Thoughts and prayers are with you, brother
I’m sorry for your loss ♥️
Stay strong brother

You had me in the first half.

Comment of the year. Well played
Thanks

I love this sooo much. On a road trip a few weeks ago, turned my 84 year old mother onto it, loved it. So beautiful
Probably one of the most amazing compositions of our time...especially if you've been through it and really know how it feels.

I don't know how I got here, but hi everyone what a pleasure to enjoy with you all.
Beautiful.
So beautiful. 💗
:D the feeling is mutual
One of us 👍
"I dont know how I got here..." thank you for giving words to so much. Beautiful. 🌤
Big thanks to HBO's ‘Big Little Lies’ for introducing this masterpiece to a wider audience. Absolute perfection. Such beauty and soul in a contemporary, alternative rock vibe.
Vinay Chandra totally agree!!!!
Vinay Chandra the music director of that show , must be congratulated on introducing these artists most people never heard of
Me too!
@@ANGELSLVME Best soundtrack! I am hoping it is just as good if not better than Season 1. Do you know the name of the black guy who singing back up? He has an incredible voice.
absolutely haunted by this song, and love that we can listen and watch this studio recording session ~ such a gift! such a treasure, thank you!
This guy has just made an old man shed happy tears..... sweet soul..
Bless you!!
It touches me in the very same way .. .. it's some of the very best of human beings capabilities.. and it's breathtaking!!!
2023 and I just found this sound. What a masterpiece.
Man you're about to go on a great ride with this artist🙌🙌🙌Hope you'll be able to catch a live performance, they are great👍
a colleague just put me on right now, about to listen to it for the 1st time
How can someone so young, and all alone, be so similar to Pink Floyd?
This guy is a miracle
Why? Because PF's influence is all pervasive. Any serious young guitarist / musican at some point gets the recommendation to listen to Pink Floyd, follows up on it and falls in love with. PF is truly timeless music that will continue to inspire musicians for ages to come. BTW, loving this :-)
He's not quite all alone but being influenced by such an influential band as Pink Floyd is no surprise.
We all are influenced by Pink Floyd, just like every good musician should be. But creating songs similar to Floyd's songs is not an easy job, and he did it brilliantly, despite his age.
Michael you are really special..your music gives me all kind of emotions..
Piero Pasquini Yeah !!!! amazing sound!
Every once in a while a song comes along that is just sheer perfection - this is one of those songs. Every element of it is brilliant, beautiful, touches the soul. In another 50 years this song will still be moving people. Bliss.
perfect comment... agree entirely
Your response is a fine tribute.
Totally agree. Where did this come from ? Sublime, is that a good word? Anyhow perfrct
You make it sound like it’s not already doing that lol
Concordo, sinto o mesmo! Parece anjo cantando.
I’ve been coming back to this video for years and it's still the best 12 minutes that you get to see here
I'm 60 and this song is one of the best I've heard in my hole life
If I had 11 minutes and 57 seconds left to live I'd lay back and play this while the world crumbled around me!
Richard O yeah this is one of those songs where you feel like so good everything could be going to shit and it’s okay
Yes but then 2 f***ing TH-cam adds in a row.
Cool comment!
Richard O Yes, I hear you, brother!
You win!!! 🙌🙌🙌
So much YES!!!
All your live sessions are pure genius. Mr Kiwanuka, you deserve all our respect for what you are giving to us.
Sly Cooper saw him live on Saturday.. wow.. what a spiritual journey he put me on
Sly Cooper b
The guitar is a story in itself. A story of longing and regret and wanting to atone for a mistake made. What a beautiful masterpiece! 2024 and I am still here.
Yes please..
@@kennethkayemba5100 it's too good.
nothing is a mistake when we understand that life is an experience and.... be safe and healthy is the only value EVERY BODY IS MISSING THE CONECCION WITH OURSELF,,,, we regret forget and we know deep inside
For every broken soul that's lost someone they loved, I pray that you meet them again and continue where you left off. God knows I would like that too.
❤
❤
The start of this is so Pink Floyd it's unreal. I've been obsessing over this for the past 3 weeks. I have to listen to it every single day. Incredible.
Yes!! Very Pink Floyd sounding!!
This song is addictive to the soul.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just said the same to my mum actually, lol I thought I was alone with that observation. Very much the Pink Floyd vibes going on at the start 👌🏼
Exactly my thoughts..
That's exactly what I thought. Those beautiful haunting complex harmonies in the instrumental lead in are hypnotic. Reminds me of vintage Pink Floyd. The vocals are incredible. If we all still lived in the age of super groups this would definitely he heading to the hall of fame. These guys are real craftsmen.
Pink Floyd's spirit will live on through many beautiful wonders such as this one.
Total Pink Floyd vibes 🌈 🌚
I get what you guys are feeling here. But man, it's actually a little more subtle, a little more gentle hey? Keys are so sweet and Michael's guitar playing is beautiful. Vocals are almost tearful. You know the world is feeling you when you're viewer 22,979,130
well said. exactly. Its one of those conceptual tracks
Damn for real pink Floyd vibes from this song, all his songs feel like a different era/genre
can't wait for the pompeii live version
I love this guy. I’m an abstract painter & do some of my best work listening to him. Made a playlist. Great band with phenomenal sound.
Pink Floyd is proud of you
that opening sequence with essence of Pink Floyd....
mucho bad ass!
Yeah
Remember me Gilmour a lot
@@dariosepulveda4445 In the 70s, this type of entry into various prog-rock groups was very common, it was not Pink Floyd who invented the genre. It was a musical genre very typical of the time and Michael Kiwanuka was inspired by it. I advise you to listen to more music from the 60s / 70s besides Pink Floyd, such as for example Camel, E.L.P., Genesis, Uriah Heep, etc.
I thought the exact same thing. Amazing
Thanks for the uppity music history lesson Luis - complete with 'advised' listening list - but this is Pink Floyd all over, namely Shine On You Crazy Diamond from the Wish You Were Here album of 1975. If you're not recognising that you have no place advising anyone about anything to do with music. No thanks to your 'prog-rock' wankery anyway, can't stand any of those bands. No one is saying they "invented the genre", but Floyd were in a class of their own.
@@compassolargo ...Kool and the Gang's Summer Madness, Carlos Santana, George Duke, Lonnie Liston Smith, to add my 2 cents to your impressive list.
How can this song exist for 4 years without me ever hearing about it. I am so happy, youtube just auto-played right when I needed a song like that.
I've found it on instagram a few weeks ago, and today this performance made my day
Its on the opening credits of an HBO show.
Better late than never! :)
My feelings exactly ✌️🥰🍁💨💨💨
Opino lo mismo, solo nos queda disfrutar de la música
Nothing ever compares to listening to this song for the first time, but the sheer emotion building up while hearing this is undescribable, too powerful, insanely epic to admire. What a song, what a video, HUGE PROPS EVERYONE INVOLVED Y'ALL KILLED IT 🙏🏽🙌🏽.
+1
This song has to be one of the best I have heard .....I'm 47 and my oldest son introduced me to this song ... .. Every time I hear it reminds me of my Gordo. 🙏
I've been a musician since 1990. I honestly think this is the best live studio performance I've ever seen and heard.
It touches your mind, body and soul very deep
As a videographer and sound engineer I must say this is one hell of a production! Well done and looking forward to the next one :)
bro you have to check out city and colour!
1👍
Who you been watching?The spice Girls?
This song is medicine for the soul
Exactly
maybe u like Placebo
indeed, my friend AMEN HALLELU _JAH_
A while ago we drove trough Scotland.. this song started out of nowhere in the car this version actually. The road was very very scenic… the sun came out trough the clouds… was such an epic moment everything geeltje in it’s place
This is music. Rich music. Expect no better kind of music from our generation. The legends are proud to have Michael Kiwanuka as a heir of rich music.
I'm 149 years old, I love this song. It reminds me of when I was about 100 years old and the Psychedelia reigned
What the...? LOL
LMAO !!!
i dont get it
lol
😂😂😂
dude is channeling otis and bill withers, and then takes it beyond. we're blessed to have a young musician with this kind of deep talent.
omg. I was totally thinking Otis and Withers!
With a little David Gilmour thrown in on the geetar.
Not just a little. Don't sell David short on this one ;-)
Wahn Yoon fucked up part my lil nieces and nephews wont hear of him till I put this in their faces..this music needs to reach these lost souls....
this young and over talented man knows what he is doing..now this is what you call serious music that's very good for your ears and soul...just absolutely brilliant
im 91 years old...thats some good black music love it!!
It sure is!
Chris @ 77 years old, heard this for the first time and was stunned by its beauty. Wow!
This didn’t just feel like a song, it felt like a journey. That was beautiful.
I'm tired of old farts like me saying there is no more real music like in the 70's and 80's. This is beautiful and well made music. It's just a matter of exploring and finding. Wow.
👏
Because it just sounds like the old Songs ;)
Don't even mind that he's borrowing the Gilmore tone/feel a bit....
I recommend listening to KEXP (listen online or with their app. Their TH-cam Channel has AMAZING live sessions). They are a cut above the rest as far as genres of music they play. I find alllll my new music there. I found Michael Kiwanuka there as well. They are public ran radio too.
To be honest, this music does borrow greatly from music from the 70's. His guitar tone and feel, and the ARP String Ensemble are staples of the Pink Floyd sound.
This is one of the most beautiful live versions that I have ever heard, and the original version was already amazing. I find myself coming back to this video once a month just to relive the feelings
Same! 🎶🎶🎶
So accurately described !!
Big little lies brought me here a while ago still returning because of how good this is
Totally agree with you. Perfect!
This is the best "new music" Ive heard in years. Im 72 and this is my "go to" music now! ... cant wait to explore more .
Shine on You Cold Little Diamond....
Superb stuff.
culltim cool . . .I see what you did there. :))
The notes you don’t play are just as important as the ones you do! This guys ability to leave space and build is incredible. Just a dynamic guitarist / musician so underrated it should be a crime
Silences...
12 minutes. One Take. AWESOME
You described it PERFECT
Michael is one of those rare musicians with the confidence to make you wait that little bit longer, before hitting you with another masterful chord change, alteration in tempo or subtle shift in sound. Absolutely magnificent.
Ah man! I think I lost my virginity again listening to this master piece. You are a genius sir and your cold little heard is bigger than the world now... Sending love from Canada and Iran.
Do yourself a big favor. Pour yourself a big glass of whatever suits and dial this puppy up as loud as you can get it. Fabulous...Lyrical and great lyrics. Five Thumbs Up.
Can't explain why, but, this gives me the feeling of being in the exact right place at the exact right time! Chills...
Perfectly said
I agree
It Gives You Peace
Gods connection!!
It's trueeeeee. I felt that before with this song.
This song is a gift to the entire planet, I've listened to it hundreds of times and still feel so amazing each time
Just heard it yesterday for the first time. I have listened to it 5 more times. What a masterpiece of music...
I discovered this song yesterday and it is the earworm of this decade. The last song to do this to me was maybe Gnarls Barkly’s crazy.
I don't know what to praise more, the song which is a masterpiece or the recording of this live session which is a chef d'oeuvre !
The music is so refreshing and moving! I'm nearly 60, and this crosses genres and types...it speaks to me.
This record leaves me speechless, it's got that Shine on era Pink Floyd, crossed with Otis Redding. Now that is a recipe for happiness. Respect to Mr Kiwanuka
Balcstar I agree! That's exactly what I thought!
Of course this song is incredible, but I was just wondering who shot this video. I love how it starts on the pianist and Kiwanuka and expands its perspective as other people are brought into the song. At one point you can even see the engineers in the booth. Also love the choice to not focus on Kiwanuka as he starts to sing... to cut back to Kiwanuka would be the most obvious choice, imho, but he's not even in the shot at this point! The camera instead seems to highlight the ensemble of performers around him. Which is perfect because it is really quite a brilliant ensemble.
Stephanie D I was thinking the same thing, Stephanie. Terrific camera work, congruent with flow of music.
Stephanie D...and the lighting. The religious feeling...
Stephanie D yes. You can actually see the (fab) musicians playing their instruments . . .no fade zoom fade cut zoom fade. Its quality production to go with the music.
and the way you described all the thing, the way you writed that down is indeed quite pleasent to read
Absolutely! Starting with the coffee mugs, then the pianist with his delicate play to start the song and slowly introducing the others members, standing behind Kiwanuka when he's working on his pedals, including the drummer just in time in the shot at 4:10 when he makes his debute, then the light into the lens at 6:10 to visually make the transition of the song from intro to the 'actual' song, subsequently getting behind the drummer and shifting the focus at 7:20 back to Kiwanuka and the rest of the band, including the percussionist at 8:20 at exactly the right moment to show his work on the shakers and make you actively noticing them, geting the guitarist at 9:10 in shot when his individual work is more prominent, getting the backup vocals and Kiwanuka in the shot at 10:00 when it is all about them, standing behind Kiwanuka at 10:30 when it is all about him, subtle moving him to the left side of the shot to include the drums and percussion as they kickin in again at 11:00, getting the backup vocals back in the shot when they re-emerge at 11:20, idem for the guitarist and then going back to the starting position and the coffee mug to close the video.
Definately not by coincidence all this and it must have taken them a lot of tries, but the result is very natural and subtle. Makes you really part of the whole live aspect. Love it!
Music like this saves more lives than doctors.
It's been almost 6 years. Please release this version of the song to streaming services ❤
Some jewels stay on the underground for true treasure hunters ;)
The extended version is on spotify
@@ADegry Yes, it is. And it's great. But the live session isn't.
@@TheMorphrickso true.
Try listening to this song while watching the sunset in Santorini. One of the best moments of my life. I owed that to my wife. Thank you!
Beautiful!
Sounds incredible!
Im listening to it from ashitholein manchester, yep, its beautifull.😁
Sounds amazing anywhere on the planet
Or listening to it over and over ... having a boyfriend in a shitty country... not being able to be together.
I cannot quite express the emotion this song seems to dive up. It’s like seeing the past and future melt into one whilst shedding a tear and laughing out loud. 🤷🏼♂️
personally I could have gone for more gutair wailing
@@bluboots45 I actually quite like the restraint.
Deep bro 😎
The feeling are real in this song. Not sure why, but humanity is really loosing the ability for deep feels in these times.
A rare song.
I smoked some joints with my wife and then we laid down in bed to go to sleep. Lights off and we put earphones and this song came up. All i remember that i was taken to another dimension with an Afterlife vibe. I certainly couldn't feel my body and it somehow felt like I'm in contact with dear friends and relatives who passed away during my lifetime. My wife said that night she was trying to grab my arm, but it felt very cold to her and i wasn't reacting to any kind of touch, she also stated that i was smiling real wide while asleep. Amazing experience
❤
Damn
Your heart is never broken It’s only growing
Thank you internet stranger ❤️
♥️
is this from Gene Belcher?
It's mixed incredibly well... so here's a shout out to the audio engineer.
I'm 71 years old. I love this song . . can listen to it all night long. I wonder how many other "geezers" my age can appreciate this young man's incredible talent.
That is what makes this performance so special. The engineer is part of the band
Man, agreed here. He got that SM7B sounding incredible & every aspect.
🙏
Did you ever want it?
Did you want it bad?
Oh my, it tears me apart
Did you ever fight it?
All of the pain
So much pride
Running through my veins
Bleeding, I'm bleeding!
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can't stand myself
And I know in my heart
In this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
Did you ever notice
I've been ashamed?
All my life
I've been playing games
We can try to hide it
It's all the same
I've been losing you
One day at a time
Bleeding, I'm bleeding!
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can't stand myself
And I know in my heart
In this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
Maybe this time I can be strong
But since I know who I am
I'm probably wrong
Maybe this time I can go far
Thinking about where I've been
Ain't helping me start
I can‘t explain why this song triggers me so hard. I am working a lot and missing so many moments with my loved ones. Listening to this gets be back to earth, my memories with lost ones passing by and I remember how fast life can be over. I want to cry and then I feel emptiness and moments later I am just happy.
This song drives me to be a better person after realizing how dumb it is to waste time for nonsense.
This is a masterpiece! Thank you for this! I can‘t stop listening to this.
I also feel the same , spot on mate , its just bringing some memories back , good and the bad ones at the same time, this one is a masterpiece indeed 👌
About five years ago, I was broke, about to be evicted and just straight up depressed. My only friend in the world sent me this song (we dated back in the day but we're still close). I would play this specific version while I took long walks at night just vibing. This song became my staple for the first part of 2017.
Now you have 3 likes lol 😂 and good taste in music 🎶
Go girl go.
The deal with matter and flesh (versus energy and abstract which is what we are ultimately made of) is that we FORGET the reason we came to this planet. We know IN ADVANCE the troubles and hardships we will face, the temptations and falls we will encounter. This being the constant for everyone that signs up to the matrix of the little blue planet...
What would then be the variable?
THE WAY WE GO THROUGH THE HARDSHIPS OF LIFE. The attitude, the temperance we choose to undergo experiences while we 'walk through the valley of death'...
You faced your grim reality and pulled through by playing sounds, appealing to VIBRATIONS. That was your coping mechanism. Some will do it appealing to substances like alcohol, pot, chemical drugs, some others will do it through tasting violence, control and some, the least, will even choose murder... very dangerous choices we will pick as we go through life but those will be the memories that will stick through, long, long after we are no longer physically here.... So good on ya Chelsea!.

God wiling. Hope you are doing better
@@daniluchison you are a wise genius..
I came to this video to read all the comments. Kind of makes me feel warm knowing I am not the only one who enjoys music like this.
This song deserves a billion wiews
There is something very special about this. It deserves to be up there with all the classics. Thank you.
Outstanding, the album is quality. How stuff like this goes under the radar when the "charts" are jam packed with rubbish. True talent this, deserves more attention
stephen percival conspiracy
It's not a conspiracy. The thing is, the vast majority of people don't dig around for good music. They take what is put in front of them. Back when the internet was first going public, so many people argued that it was going to take away the 'filters' of the music companies and let everyone get out there on their own.
And of course it did that. But what those folks never understood was that you could ALWAYS get out there on your own. The difference between the ones who got big and those who didn't is money, in almost all cases. Doesn't matter how good they are, unless they are gotten in front people on a broad scale, they will almost never become big. Nothing to do with talent, it's all about the human nature.
And, the other thing the internet did, was let EVERYONE get out there on their own. So now there's a massive over-supply of music. By next week, most people can't even remember what it was that they were listening to last week. They stumbled across ten other acts or artists in the meantime. Add to that the fact that so much music is now synthetic and edited to the gills on the computer, it's undermined the value of talent. We don't live in an era anymore when people are respected for talent like was the case before the 2000's. That makes it a lot easier for 'beautiful people' to appear to be talented artists, and beautiful people always have the advantage with the wider audience.
So it becomes about image and fashion and being a celebrity and all that. People like this guy need to be in an era where talent is celebrated. And an era where the ability to actually play your own music is important. That's just not the case now in mainstream popular music, and hasn't been since the 2000's really. I watched a video a few weeks ago of a festival where people just played their recorded music and basically just stood around on stage without actually performing anything at all. Where does this guy fit in that?
With everyone stealing music like crazy, those folks with the money to put behind musical acts are going to take no risks. They'll put their money on the most formulaic, digitally produced music. The guy who just plays his music off of his laptop on stage and stands there just costs them plane tickets, unlike a real band.
Back when music made a lot of money, music companies would put money behind a lot of acts and see what worked. And guys like this would get a chance to see if he could find a real audience. But now, most folks like him are going to be just another dude on TH-cam, amongst millions of the same, struggling to get above the noise.
Well said. I heard this on satellite radio. Far better than any of the " top 40" crap.
stephen percival I so agree!!!!
I can't stand the music now a days..no talent and no depth or message..this is a breathe of fresh air and Michael and the rest of the band should gets noticed.
Some things in this world makes us feel that life's worth living. This song's for sure one of those things.
Me too my escape room
Absolutely. Aahh to be reminded that you're alive.
I severely hope you don’t feel like that all the time. I know life is hard, and it’s easy to go down the rabbit hole that is depression. But like in the song, you can try or you can die.
Merry Christmas and happy new year my friend.
The first time I listened to this song was September 17, 2018. It was a bad time for me. I remember sitting on a makeshift roof, having climbed it with so much difficulty, at 4 in the morning. I listened to this song on loop till the sun came out. That was the first time I ever wrote and here's the poem I wrote that day:
Cold Little Heart
You win.
Amidst the tyranny of my agony, I realize...
My heart succumbs finally,
To my guilt, or to your absence?
Burdened by something,
Is it your virtue or my sins?
Can see myself fading,
Is it the growing dark or the shimmering light?
I feel myself sinking,
Is it a dream, or just the starry night?
Want to ask you once,
Should l stand again or give up the fight?
Bewildered,I run searching around,
Am I blind or is there no one in sight?
Rush to me, strap me in your trap too tight,
This cold little heart may bleed yet again,
Another day, Another plight.
This song will haunt me forever and I'll happily let it.
Wow, just beautiful. Music is an incredible thing for sure.
That is poetry! Fantastic. So well written. What can I say. You have a true gift.
@@superflyfunkandsoulbelfast3171 thank you and indeed, it is.
@@carmelita7348 thank you.
My son took his life 6 years ago today at age 17 (Fathers day in Canada) This was our song together.
I'm so sorry for your loss. May his memory be your blessing🙏❤️.
Oh NOooo...I am SOooo Sorry...my sincere condolences 😢
Sorry…may him, you and all this he knew find peace
How this people can live normally after have played this intro? It's a thing awesomely deep and beautiful. Gives me chills and tears every time I listen.
reminded me of Pink Floyd
The intro slays me every time.
In the world I wake up to today, among a pandemic, the division, the hate, the doubt and the fear, here I (we) have this.
They have the guns, but we have the love.
Uprising. Jah!
amen to you Frank. There are more of us out here!
@@SHMANN62 thank you.
@@SHMANN62 little did I know how accurate I was. 😑
Blessings to you
@@mommabear3085 et tu mon ami.
An unbelievable song that hits you straight in the middle of the heart. When you think that everything has been done, here it comes Micheal Kiwanuka to tell us otherwise.
I discovered this song 6 hours ago, and i listened to it at least 30 times....then i discovered there is a Live session of the song...its going to be a long night
Most music moves the body but this. This moves the soul!!
Best version of the song in my opinion
That Pink Floyd vibe... always get to my emotions. About to see him live in a week in Zaragoza, Spain. This guy is a legend, one of a kind in this era.
Perfectly written! Well done.
Came here looking for someone to agree with me… shine on you crazy dimond
Am 70 yrs and can’t get enough of Michael’s great voice and music!
A mix of Otis Redding , Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley and Curtis Mayfield. How refreshing in modern times for that sound to live on. So gifted just Genius !
and some
neil Jung dont ask me why....
Classic Autumn so well put!! Each time I’m listening I hear someone I can relate his sound to but he has his own thing which makes him that much incredible
I felt a little David Gilmour in there too....
@@timmyr345 A Little? :D A ton!
A lot of David Gilmore! @@timmyr345
The fact that I can feel the energy, especially in the beginning. That’s how u now it’s gon be good
I was feeling very heavy today when I got home, and I found this pearl.
It was like finding a glass of water on the desert.
Pure gold:
Did you ever want it?
Did you want it bad?
Ohhh, my
It tears me apart
Did you ever fight it?
All of the pain, so much power
Running through my veins
Bleeding, I'm bleeding
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can't stand myself
And I know
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
Did you ever notice
I've been ashamed
All my life
I've been playing games
We can try and hide it
It's all the same
I've been losing you
One day at a time
Bleeding, I'm bleeding
My cold little heart
Oh I, I can't stand myself
And I know
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In my heart, in this cold heart
I can live or I can die
I believe if I just try
You believe in you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
In you and I
Maybe this time I can be strong
But since I know who I am
I'm probably wrong
Maybe this time I can go far
But thinking about where I've been
Ain't helping me start
Dam!! Share talent.
Thank you so much 🎶💝🎶
Laura Ciardullo Absolute GOLD✔️
Thanks for the lyrics
My life in words.
Thanks a lot! 😘
The music and lyrics of this version always hit me, but today... Man today I just feel it in a whole different level and can't stop crying as I think about all the stuff that I had bottled up inside for so so long
This is powerful
5 months later... Days just keep getting harder and I haven't stopped replaying this song over and over again to deal with it
we're with you all the way...
Yeah, today is a tough one for me as well. Missing my Dad who passed recently. A lot was held inside and I've been recently letting it out. This song helps so much as I come to terms. I'm with you Brother.
@@releasethekraken3603 and I'm with you as well
Stay strong brother, we all feel the same
Words can not describe the music the lyrics take me too the depths of my soul and rip through my heart I hope every one hears the same thing I do fn magnificent
This song has so many layers and levels to it. It takes you on a very spiritual journey
Absolutely breathtaking from start to finish. This man is a legend.
the intro was EPIC!!!
Izzul Ameer my thoughts exactly
