Imagine being able to hit those notes. Just imagine yourself in your car when you are singing trying to hit that one note, he hits it every time. Beautiful voice.
This is one of the most underrated artists of a lifetime. I am almost offended that this man doesn't get more recognition. Not that it bothers me, gems like this - I'd rather have this for myself than it being mainstream music. This is art. This is love. This.... is pure emotion. Thank you so much for your music. All the best, from Sweden!
His voice alone is soo powerful and hits so deep even without the music , it just blows my mind away! And that echo from the cathedral added such haunting effect, it made this song so much more powerful and impactful
You know he is singing genuinely when every word they say hit you right in the core of your heart. You know you have found your song when the chaos in you finally intermingles with the rhythm of the song.
LYRICS 🎼 Here stands a man At the bottom of a hole he's made Still sweating from the rush His body tense His hands, they shake Oh this, this is a mad boy Don't you ever leave me alone My war is over Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy Here stands a man With a bullet in his clenched right hand But don't push him, son For he's got the power to crush this land Oh hear, hear him cry, boy Don't you ever leave me alone Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy
Had my hands in slow running warm water when this song began to play on Spotify radio. I've never heard of SYML or this song before. I closed my eyes and could feel his voice and words go through every fiber of me as I just stood there. I have never become lost in a song to this magnitude nor felt a soft melody gently touch my soul. After the song was over, I opened my eyes and saw my hands clasped together, just as they were when my Mother would stand behind me as a child, to help me wash my hands! Streams of hot burning tears rolled down my cheeks as I felt her love come through from the other side, telling me she's still with me and loves me. There are simply no words to describe how beautiful & amazing this song truly is, only feelings, thoughts, memories & emotions!.... 🕊🕊🕊
I get a rush of chills every time I listen to this. Beautiful, deep, haunting...stirs my soul and I swear I can hear his soul through his voice. I can't help but to physically grab my chest with my hand when he's singing. Simply beautiful. Wow.
I used to listen his songs on repeat because they were so meaningful in my younger teen years and now im here at 21 listening to it on repeat again…. You saved me.
I love his songs ... i feel carried away to another dimension.... but one thing i don't dare to do , is singing along coz i know try hitting these notes like he does, I would sound like a squeaky squirrel
This video is so incredible, beautiful, and tragic. I feel the emotion in my soul and I can’t stop listening. Thank you, SYML. That’s all I can say. This video keeps bringing tears to my eyes.
He deserves more views, all of his songs are so good. Such an underrated artist. My only cope mechanism is just by listening to any songs, especially yours. So please keep making more.
Brian, if you're reading this, I know I've said it before in other videos but: I LOVE your voice on the high notes, and then there's this super subtle "I... am a sad boy" after them is like a feather falling to the ground. "The War" is such a jewel
The perfect place for this song. I don't know what Brian intended with it initially, but for me it's about surrendering. Being hopeless and tired after fighting and trying to be powerful. And admitting that you're human and weak. Admitting that you're just a lost child and asking God to be your shelter, to stand by you and protect you. And finally finding peace in that surrender 🙏
I have no idea how this only has 396,000 views!!! It's a masterpiece that finds the deepest parts of your soul! Everyone needs to hear this beauty!! I'm hooked!! SYML we love you please keep producing such amazing songs!!
Magical performance! Thanks SYML♡ Lyrics The War Here stands a man At the bottom of a hole he's made Still sweating from the rush His body tense His hands, they shake Oh this, this is a mad boy Here stands a man With a bullet in his clenched right hand Don't push him, son For he's got the power to crush this land Oh hear, hear him cry, boy Don't you ever leave me alone My war is over Be my shelter from the storm My war is over I am a sad boy Here stands a man At the bottom of a hole he's made Still sweating from the rush His body tense His hands, they shake Oh this, this is a mad boy Here stands a man With a bullet in his clenched right hand But don't push… Source: Musixmatch
Wow! Just Wow! Emotion is felt in every word, every note & every pause. This is one of those songs that creates a unique story to each soul that hears it. For me...this story is for my darling brother Daniel. My twin flame whom I lost on November 19th 2020. We shared lots of music between us & I introduced him to you! Thank you for this. It's absolutely lovely. ❤ Much love from Kentucky.
Trzy miesiące mija gdy usłyszałam to pierwszy raz . Zwaliło mnie z nóg to skromnie powiedziane . Codziennie słucham i nie przestaje odlatywać w inny wymiar .Tacy artyści to diamenty które szuka się przez całe lata .W marcu koncert w Warszawie ,odliczam dni kiedy wysłucham to na żywo 👌
one of the most beautiful albums of the last 10 years. Thank you Brian, from the bottom of my heart....thank you thank you! The War & Where's my love are for me the most heartwrenching songs I have ever heard!
WowBro, existentiality in live time, but high-quality studio sound, This is divine!!! Better than in the video. Well, and the song is of course very beautiful and smart Bravo Maestro👏🙏!!!!
I bumped into this and got the chills. The voice reminded me of something. I searched who is this awesome guy, and realize that is the voice behind a beloved band that I used to listen 10years ago (Barcelona). What a ride!

It’s incredible how emotional he was in the beginning but then you can actually see the lyrics giving him strength at 2:20 when he said “Don’t push him son, He’s got the power to crush this land”.
please WHAT ARE YOU! what is this! I cannot i just cannot! this is so good to be true i swear, the emotions! Oh god your voice! It took me somewhere else, somewhere more peaceful yet painful. Idk how to explain anything but i fell in love. this is just a piece of art.

One of the few artists that manage to sound even better live than in the studio
Sooooo true !!!
Very true!
absolutely
Would of loved to be there..what a feeling🙏
Manages what ? This is not a thing to be a master at
Imagine being able to hit those notes. Just imagine yourself in your car when you are singing trying to hit that one note, he hits it every time. Beautiful voice.
I tried. It sounded like I was cutting the throat of a lamb...
One of my must songs every drive alone.
Yep tried it I just start coughing and have to pull over.
I crashed. What’s your info as I will sue you
This is unbelievable.
There are no words to define this performance...
This guys voice is enough reason for me to stay on this beautiful planet
Yeah. Totally.
That is true.
Who’s here from the Third Estate episode of the Blacklist?? 🤙🏽 Absolutely beautiful. A new fan for life 🙏🏽❤️
I almost cried when he reached the high point. What a beautiful and powerful voice. So full of emotions.
I'll never stop listening ❤
This is one of the most underrated artists of a lifetime. I am almost offended that this man doesn't get more recognition. Not that it bothers me, gems like this - I'd rather have this for myself than it being mainstream music.
This is art. This is love. This.... is pure emotion. Thank you so much for your music.
All the best, from Sweden!
I agree soo much with you... I started listen to this guy when he was in Barcelona. Incredible voice and emotion in his voice
Håller med dig till 100% ska bli fantastiskt att få se han uppträda live i Stockholm om några veckor 😍
Yeesss!
Holy smokes 🤯🙌🏻
His voice alone is soo powerful and hits so deep even without the music , it just blows my mind away! And that echo from the cathedral added such haunting effect, it made this song so much more powerful and impactful
I want to walk around and show this video to everyone with the phrase "look! look at this masterpiece!"
You know he is singing genuinely when every word they say hit you right in the core of your heart. You know you have found your song when the chaos in you finally intermingles with the rhythm of the song.
Absolutely
Yes ... you’ve hit that feeling spot on. Symal and the guys are astonishly good ! Sounds better every time you listen... 🏴
You said what my heart was thinking, but I couldn’t say.
Without a doubt your best song. This sounded incredible. What a place to sing it.
My fave changes daily. Then starts over. Girl gets me every.damn.time.
@@mo1234590 I have been playing Connor at like every chance I get right now
Harriet ... Connor?? That’s new to me.
I’m such a fan. Like crazy. And I just want to talk about him! Friends like him, but they don’t hear him like I do. They don’t hear him. ❤️
@@mo1234590 Search it. It's really beautiful
Why do I have to cry every damn time I hear half his songs. Everything he does is pure gold.
listening to this with headphones is something else man
HOLY!!
LYRICS 🎼
Here stands a man
At the bottom of a hole he's made
Still sweating from the rush
His body tense
His hands, they shake
Oh this, this is a mad boy
Don't you ever leave me alone
My war is over
Be my shelter from the storm
My war is over
I am a sad boy
Here stands a man
With a bullet in his clenched right hand
But don't push him, son
For he's got the power to crush this land
Oh hear, hear him cry, boy
Don't you ever leave me alone
Be my shelter from the storm
My war is over
I am a sad boy
2:24 No words 🥺

I tear up and get chills every single time.
I get a rush of chills every time I listen to this. Beautiful, deep, haunting...stirs my soul and I swear I can hear his soul through his voice. I can't help but to physically grab my chest with my hand when he's singing. Simply beautiful. Wow.
His voice, music, story, everything is beautifully connected. Touches my heart❤️
I love how your music lives in every corner of my being, thank you for existing.

Holy Shivers....a soul's cry. Thank you for your sheer talent.

Don't you ever leave me alone, my war is over. 🖤🖤🖤🖤
What a voice, what a song, what a studio, what a performance!!!
This is one of those 'stop dead in your tracks' moments...I don't usually comment on TH-cam but this just couldn't pass me by not to amazing.
This Song with full volume 3 am in the morning is my reason to live😌✋🏻
I used to listen his songs on repeat because they were so meaningful in my younger teen years and now im here at 21 listening to it on repeat again…. You saved me.
Beautiful voice, amazing song, I love it.
I love his songs ... i feel carried away to another dimension.... but one thing i don't dare to do , is singing along coz i know try hitting these notes like he does, I would sound like a squeaky squirrel
I’m commenting for the third time : please put this on Spotify 😭😭😭
This video is so incredible, beautiful, and tragic. I feel the emotion in my soul and I can’t stop listening. Thank you, SYML. That’s all I can say. This video keeps bringing tears to my eyes.
Same for me it's an amazing artist 🔥✨
OBRIGADA POR SUA EXISTÊNCIA, SYML 🥺🇧🇷
🇧🇷
Ele merecia muito mais reconhecimento. A voz dele é tão perfeita, sem falar nas músicas 😍
@@BrynaArt também acho! Principalmente aqui pelas terras BRs, espero que um dia possamos receber shows dele 🥰
He deserves more views, all of his songs are so good. Such an underrated artist. My only cope mechanism is just by listening to any songs, especially yours. So please keep making more.
4:30am this moment and this song is all feels. Same song but yet you come over and again; you ask why, because it feels right in.
He has such a Powerful voice, So Beautiful ❤️
Brian, if you're reading this, I know I've said it before in other videos but: I LOVE your voice on the high notes, and then there's this super subtle "I... am a sad boy" after them is like a feather falling to the ground. "The War" is such a jewel
Beyond incredible Brian is , it’s the most touching voice ever
one of the most breathtaking and chilling performances in the history... absolutely incredible.
This is why I’m a fan
Imagine having so much faith in yourself and your music that it has touched people from all over the world.
I am a good listener, I can be a good friend. Don't hurt himself. Why are you singing this? Don't play, I ain't got games.
The FULL VOICE for this one!!!
The perfect place for this song. I don't know what Brian intended with it initially, but for me it's about surrendering. Being hopeless and tired after fighting and trying to be powerful. And admitting that you're human and weak. Admitting that you're just a lost child and asking God to be your shelter, to stand by you and protect you. And finally finding peace in that surrender 🙏
I'm obsessed, I just recently discovered him, he's MEZMERIZING his music hits the soul❤
não é possível que esse ser não tem a fama que merece
Sometimes i forget how amazing and beautiful humans can be, music usually serves as my reminder. Thank you! 🤍
One of my favorite artist! The world be sleeping!
Великолепная работа 🖤
Привет всем из Москвы 🙌
I have no idea how this only has 396,000 views!!! It's a masterpiece that finds the deepest parts of your soul! Everyone needs to hear this beauty!! I'm hooked!! SYML we love you please keep producing such amazing songs!!
If someone sang "don't you ever leave me alone" like that 2:25. I would never let go ❤️ I would protect that man.
God. you never miss. the vocals, the story , the videography.....
Perfection.
I cannot think of a greater voice who makes you picture his feelings through his voice😌
0:48 ❤️❤️
"Don't you ever leave me alone."
Magical performance! Thanks SYML♡
Lyrics
The War
Here stands a man
At the bottom of a hole he's made
Still sweating from the rush
His body tense
His hands, they shake
Oh this, this is a mad boy
Here stands a man
With a bullet in his clenched right hand
Don't push him, son
For he's got the power to crush this land
Oh hear, hear him cry, boy
Don't you ever leave me alone
My war is over
Be my shelter from the storm
My war is over
I am a sad boy
Here stands a man
At the bottom of a hole he's made
Still sweating from the rush
His body tense
His hands, they shake
Oh this, this is a mad boy
Here stands a man
With a bullet in his clenched right hand
But don't push…

One of my absolute favorite songs of all time, so THANK YOU... You are such an amazing artist and singer, I have no words.
Wow! Just Wow! Emotion is felt in every word, every note & every pause. This is one of those songs that creates a unique story to each soul that hears it. For me...this story is for my darling brother Daniel. My twin flame whom I lost on November 19th 2020. We shared lots of music between us & I introduced him to you!

This is not a song, it’s an experience. Absolutely beautiful
This performance is simply incredible, the raw emotion in his voice is breathtaking
This is genuinely one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard, so moving.
Caramba que espetáculo.
Yo creo que esta canción es para después de un momento muy difícil. Saliste, pero saliste despedazado. No es la tragedia, es lo que haces con ella. 🤍
one of the most beautiful albums of the last 10 years. Thank you Brian, from the bottom of my heart....thank you thank you! The War & Where's my love are for me the most heartwrenching songs I have ever heard!

Once in your lifetime someone will stand out from the rest with a light so bright it is almost blinding...
...here he is.... a star is born...
Probably the best song for my lungs!!!
He says the words by feeling. This is perfect.
This gives me chills

You are the King of Indie. This couldn't be more soulfully satisfying. My spirit was set on fire with each profound note.
It’s incredible how emotional he was in the beginning but then you can actually see the lyrics giving him strength at 2:20 when he said “Don’t push him son, He’s got the power to crush this land”.
please WHAT ARE YOU! what is this! I cannot i just cannot!
this is so good to be true i swear, the emotions! Oh god your voice! It took me somewhere else, somewhere more peaceful yet painful. Idk how to explain anything but i fell in love. this is just a piece of art.
