True story... I fell asleep to my Spotify playlist playing . Once the list was done is continued to play related songs or songs I would like. In my sleep I heard SiR singing and wanted to get up to check who it was. When I woke up I played back all of the “ related” songs searching for that voice. I found it and added him to my playlist. And of course listened to his music... love love. You SiR got a fan.
The mix on a colors show is always SO good, that you start suspecting that the artists are mouthing along to pre-recorded audio. So that part was powerful and beautiful, but it also lets us hear the sound of the room and realize SiR just sounds THAT good improvising on a single live take!
Mesgana Waiss he def get it next year ! SiR album dropped a little later than his contemporaries like Anderson Paak , his album dropped last year and he just got a Grammy nomination.
"she dont believe it when i tell her that i need her"' no matter how much you show your partner how much you love them "enough will never be enough" this song has help me with my healing process
Phez _ I feel like the colors they use and the contrast on the performers are way too deep for it to be a green screen. Might just be good lighting though idk.
One of the most heartbreaking songs I've heard in the last 5 years. The way he ended this performance made me cry.So.Hard. I put my hand on my chest...jesus.
Chasing Summer is the best album for me this year!! John Redcorn is such a great music if you know John Redcorn you know the metaphor is absolutely genius🤩 Love SiR wish I could see him live
Christian Zion Gallos He’s a character from the show King of the Hill! And as you know, the album basically talks about being in the wrong place, wrong time with the right one. Well, John ended a 14 year relationship, more like an affair, with Nancy, a married woman, who decides to go « back » to her marriage knowing that Redcorn is the father of her and knowing very well that she’s still in love with him.
This man is a whole vibe! Did anybody else instantly think of someone in their life whose doing this to them? Especially the “you don’t ever bring me good news”??
I literally just heard this song yesterday and it's all I've been playing since. I'm even working on a remix that I plan to send in. This song is pure heat.
When I 1st heard this song I said: "it sounds like the words are fighting to come out through his pain" watching him sing it...I can see the pain & the words punching through his clinched mouth. Soul ties are the hardest to break BUT the walk away is what we've all done...while still in love with our addiction.
I saw him sing this live at dreamville fest . It was one of the most amazing moments I’ve ever had at a concert . I literally felt like melting . Haven’t stopped listening to it since
Being in this situation can def give one flashbacks. This song hits me right in the feels. It literally hits so hard that I feel like I’m experiencing it first person
Anyone else froze up while watching? This performance could bring me to my knees. Just one of those perfectly crafted masterpieces that is necessary to life like remembering to take a breath of fresh air.
Watching some of his old performances and now knowing what he was going through is kind of heartbreaking but beautiful at the same time. He gave us such gold while going through a dark time
I still can’t believe this album wasn’t nominated for a Grammy. One of the best R&B albums on the last decade. My opinion of course, but every song is a masterpiece.
I've learned in time loving music. They'll overlook a lot of the best. Like ab-soul's latest album should be nominated. I'd say killer mike is going to get it.
This is my favorite video on TH-cam in 2020. Listened/ watched this 100 times now. His emotions as he sings this are so powerful, how he transfers that hurt and yearning into his voice. As an amateur musician and vocalist, this stuff is top-shelf, inspiration-worthy. I hope I can make a listener feel this pathos through my performance. If I survive the pandemic, I hope I get to see SiR in concert, someday...
Damn, tell me you wouldn't see this man on the street and think he was a regular joe. Then you hear him sing and you're in your feels. Extreme talent right here.
I cannot get enough of playing this song on repeat this song speaks so much volume and different aspects in just the harmony is so essential like the vibe is just so vibrant I love it it's just one of my favorite classic songs... THANKS FOR BEING U...
First time hearing this song... it was meant to be heard! Songs hit the soul at the right time and place in life. God is good! God bless all that read this. You're the head and not the tail!!
*Lyrics*
[Chorus]
Alone, every night alone
Why am I alone when I know that you want me too?
Am I wrong? Tell me that I'm wrong
Tell me I deserve all the pain that you put me through, oh
[Verse 1]
I really hate that I give a fuck
Pressin' my line, I don't wanna pick up
We know enough won't ever be enough
I play hard to get, she keep callin' my bluff
Baby divin' deeper and deeper
She don't believe me when I tell her that I need her
Guess I shoulda stayed where I belong
'Cause once you make it back to your happy home...
[Chorus]
I'm alone, every night alone
Why am I alone when I know that you want me too?
Am I wrong? Tell me that I'm wrong
Tell me I deserve all the pain that you put me through, oh
[Post-Chorus]
You don't ever bring me good news, babe
I just wanna be the one you choose, babe
[Verse 2]
Dream girl got me losin' sleep
Baby, you remind me of my Jeep
Maybe I'd be better on the run
Double vision playin' all week
This feels like a game of survival
Why am I dyin' for a title?
Is it even worth the fight?
[Chorus]
When I just end up alone, every night alone
Why am I alone when I know that you want me too?
Am I wrong? Tell me that I'm wrong
Tell me I deserve all the pain that you put me through, oh
[Post-Chorus]
You don't ever bring me good news, babe
I just wanna be the one you choose, babe
You don't ever bring me good news, babe
I just wanna be the one you choose, babe
[Outro]
Dream girl got me losin' sleep
Baby, you remind me of my Jeep
Maybe I'd be better on the run
Double vision playin' all week
Get kiesza on here please
*Baby you remind me I’m a G*
Not Jeep 😂
get Alfie Sharp on here!!!
Oh they will.
For sure.
I'm just here waiting.
But I think it'll come in the next few weeks.
COLORS soulful✨
That fade-away walk while singing...god damn.
that lowkey gave me chills!
Goosebumps !!
Banging but its deffo gonna be a meme 😂
Gave me chills.
Yesssss fire!!!!!!
The guy is not singing he is FEELING his songs. The end says it all, truly
And i feel it
So true he sings lyk a dream
That is why I love him
SiR has been happily married for like 10 yrs. He sings about things he’s been through/past experiences. He said it in some of his interviews.
Yasss. He's feeling it and I'm feeling it yes boo yes..
To this day SiR is still criminally underrated
Facts
🤌🤌🤌
Yeap
real
In todays world, the best artist usually are.
This hits different when you really goin thru what he’s singin about. Got this on repeat til I find peace.
It hurts when you realize that they know how much it hurt for them to leave you but they shut themselves out
Same bro same
It hits even harder
Man oh man...🤦🏾♀️
Amen
I literally haven’t stopped listening to this song since I found out about it
yolanda bobadon I look at this video everyday then go play the album lol
In the EXACT same boat
Me tooo
yolanda bobadon it’s been on repeat for three days straight
Same!
Sir Dropped one of the RNB albums of the year
And now we get a Colors performance
We're Blessed indeed
The best album of the year for sure 🙌
If he makes it to tiny desk this year is absolutely blessed!
We got 2
Ntsako Mabasa YUP.
You are correct Ntsako, SiR did drop an RNB album this year... Great comment Ntsako, very cool...
Dayum when he walked away...he literally separated himself from other singers...he’s phenomenal
Similee right. It definitely was a moment. My fav part
Game me chills reading your comment because it was exactly what I was thinking.
My favorite part and why I keep coming and listening to this version. At the end his voice gets really raw...
My 👂& My 💔
@@tffy2004 its the only one i listen to just to hear this part. i am in love with this part.....
Facts !
This guy is not just singing, he is literally speaking to my soul.
Big fax for me too
The way he walked off the stage really solidified the whole performance.
PinkLemonSocks I know right!!!!
PinkLemonSocks gave me chills man
that shit gave me chills !
When he said:
🚶🏿♂️“AAAAAOOOOaaoooooOOOwawoOoooo..”
I felt that.
😂🤣😂😂
Lol 😁
Camilla Eizieiei listen ! That’s all I’m tryna say !
SAME!!!
Accurately spelled!
I am so mad, I am so mad that he didn't get a nomination for Best R&B.
It’s cool maybe next year but regardless he’s a great artist either way
Politics nowadays, not about quality or talent but pop chart numbers
Me toooooooi
He'll get the nomination next because year his album got out two or three months before the nominations, so is too soon i guess
Do something Bin Laden
that "oooo" while walking off SENT CHILLLLS down my spine! this man is a treasure ❤
“Dream girl got me losing sleep” BAR
Atlas Speaks facts
Atlas Speaks brooooo on god
Bombaclot🔥❗
He does rap well. Check some out.
Double vision playing all week
One of them tracks that makes you feel happy but heartbroken at the same time.
The entire album is so bittersweet and I'm obsessed with it. Such a great addition to the TDE roster
Tejas C omg yes
This is the perfect description
Yeah, like a satisfying sadness❤️
True story... I fell asleep to my Spotify playlist playing . Once the list was done is continued to play related songs or songs I would like.

You SiR got a fan.
Dedication. You are a true music lover.
Nice- 69th like AND that last remark you made there friend

This is literally how I fell in love w save me and John redcorn.
Guess you stopped sleeping on him...
Damn that walk off hit me right in the heart. This version is so 🔥
Yassss! Don't it tho...
That's singing from the soul
YESSSSSS
The mix on a colors show is always SO good, that you start suspecting that the artists are mouthing along to pre-recorded audio. So that part was powerful and beautiful, but it also lets us hear the sound of the room and realize SiR just sounds THAT good improvising on a single live take!
@@katricesturgis8962 you're that part, fine as hell woman 🔥🥴
The number of times I’ve watched this one song is ridiculous.
Agnes Nyabaro YO IK

Every single person on the plane felt that Awouuuwooo in the end.
In my soul!!
Favorite part and this version is the only one i like just so i can hear it every time!!
Lol! That part just runs through me I swear!
In my chessssst👏🏾
His soul touched mine 💫
“This feels like a game of survival. Why am I dying for a title?”
That line murked me.
@@shadyea-scireadams6299 me too sadly I'm dying for a title
Jalea Real this line slapped me in the face!!
It left me speechless. I’m dying for a title too, sadly 😪
In the face. 😂
This song still slaps even years later❤what a beautiful vocalist. Love you Sir🇿🇦
🗣 ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Anthony Dones I’m upset he didn’t receive at least a best R&B Album Grammy nomination
Agreed!
Mesgana Waiss releases after the cut off
Mesgana Waiss he def get it next year ! SiR album dropped a little later than his contemporaries like Anderson Paak , his album dropped last year and he just got a Grammy nomination.
HSPY actually he didn’t the deadline was 31st and he dropped it on the 30th 😂
Damn near broke into tears at my desk. That pain is waay too relatable.
Exactly
Oh no 🤦🏾♀️🚬
Feel you brother

BEST ENDING TO COLORS EVER !
Made it look so easy, too
Flex’s TF out if it 💪🏿
Sir walked away hitting that note killed them
"she dont believe it when i tell her that i need her"' no matter how much you show your partner how much you love them "enough will never be enough" this song has help me with my healing process
Good love ♡ I'm still healing from my past. I feel hopeless one minute and hopeful the next for the future
The wrong partner, perhaps?
Give the set designers a raise.
Always wondered whether they greenscreen them or not, always looks great either way but props to them if they dont
Phez _ I feel like the colors they use and the contrast on the performers are way too deep for it to be a green screen. Might just be good lighting though idk.
i do like how there's a slight raise in this one, makes SiR stick out
👍🏻
It's crazy how perfectly the colours fit the performance.
When he said "You don’t ever bring me good news, babe"💔 I really felt that
One of the most heartbreaking songs I've heard in the last 5 years. The way he ended this performance made me cry.So.Hard. I put my hand on my chest...jesus.
It’s like Carl Thomas’s “ I wish” had a baby ...
Same bro same 😢
Chasing Summer is the best album for me this year!! John Redcorn is such a great music if you know John Redcorn you know the metaphor is absolutely genius🤩 Love SiR wish I could see him live
i love the album as well!! but who is john redcorn and how is the song related to him?
Christian Zion Gallos He’s a character from the show King of the Hill! And as you know, the album basically talks about being in the wrong place, wrong time with the right one. Well, John ended a 14 year relationship, more like an affair, with Nancy, a married woman, who decides to go « back » to her marriage knowing that Redcorn is the father of her and knowing very well that she’s still in love with him.
@@sajaa. thank u ♥️
The metaphor alone is genius, this song man oh man, if you watched the show this song will forever great for many reasons
SiR is artist of the decade for me.
Katelyn Rhea for me too!!!!🥺
More like artist of the entire lifelife
@@tarumbidzwamburayi3489 thats K-dot
This is more than just a song, its an experience.
Fax
Play this between 2am-4am and see the tears run 😭
That ending just gives me chills. His voice is so haunting in the best kind of way.
This man is a whole vibe! Did anybody else instantly think of someone in their life whose doing this to them? Especially the “you don’t ever bring me good news”??
i was this person and am sure so many of us can relate. now im outta that situation and moved on to bigger and better.
Just discovered this today....popped up into my rotation.....
Been on Repeat for 2 hours.... my God. THIS.🖤🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽
Maaan so much SOUL was put in this song. That's real pain he singin.
Been a fan since I heard Somethin' Foreign and D'Evils.
CHRISTI XX been a fan since I heard/came across “Queen” from HER...
Been a fan since 7 Sundays....check In the Sky and Jay Z from that album..classics.
D’evils is my SHIT
Pardon me while I elevate
One splif a day keeps the evil away
i didn’t think it was possible for his voice to sound any smoother and angelic than the recordings but here we are

Amazing song
I literally cried at the end , this song was to real.
Cant write a song like this from watching a cartoon. He sees himself in that character and this shyt resonates with me DEEPLY.
Facts
On me 🥴
This song is great. I’ve had it in my library for a long time now and never knew this existed. Saw him live at the TDE concert a few years back
Thanks for explaining that captain obvious
Yeah this is a feel. You can see the pain in his face from the memory, and hear it in his voice.
Dude brought out the true feelings of John Redcorn. Damn.
"Tell me I deserve all the pain that you put me through ..."
That part hits me so hard every time
Nobody deserves pain
I still can’t believe this album wasn’t nominated for a Grammy. One of the best R&B albums on the last decade. My opinion of course, but every song is a masterpiece.
I've learned in time loving music. They'll overlook a lot of the best. Like ab-soul's latest album should be nominated. I'd say killer mike is going to get it.
Favorite song on the album... Wonderful performance 🌈
I just discovered this song three weeks ago and I'm obsessed. It feels like he's singing to me.
how he just walked offff and continued to bless my ears 😭🙏🏾
1. His hands move as if he was composing an orchestra, but with his voice
2. He walked off the stage like a boss
Gonna need him to do his entire album in this setting. Beautiful.
Can I cry, can we cry.
😭😭😭😭😭 sad and happy tears at the same time
This is my favorite video on TH-cam in 2020. Listened/ watched this 100 times now. His emotions as he sings this are so powerful, how he transfers that hurt and yearning into his voice.

SiR. His voice, words, delivery, sensuality is pure magic. Puts my soul at ease. Needless to say..I love him so.
Never heard this in my life this is why I love music man you can just find gems like this amazing
I can't stop pressing replay, I love this song.
On gaaawd ‼️‼️
I didn’t think this song could get any better, wow. The whole album is 🔥🔥
I cannot stop listening to his entire album. Album of the year. 🙌🏼
I love it when he walks off and just literally gives the melody to you from the deeps within... whewwww❤❤❤
I've listened to the song now for 2 years. And this is a work of art. The melody the flow context depth energy perfect.
I cannot get enough of playing this song on repeat this song speaks so much volume and different aspects in just the harmony is so essential like the vibe is just so vibrant I love it it's just one of my favorite classic songs... THANKS FOR BEING U...
I honestly sit through and listen to this whole thing over and over just to hear the ending 😩
I cant get enough of that last bit where he walks off while singing, it touches the soul ❤️
I use this song as a bandage ❤️
I feel this comment
OMG. I feel the same
Me too
Did it stop the bleeding if not where ghb going to have cauterize the wound
For reaalllllllll
Literally obsessed with this song and sound. Especially the guitar at the end. Insane. Bless you bro.
"Why am I dying for a title?"
We have all been there...
The way he exits gracefully at the end while serenading us…. Gives me Chills
😊
Slaps harder than my moms slipper.
YM -_- word
YM -_- 😂
But why 🤣🤣🤣
Underrated comment😂
Wa itse😹
The way is voice bounced of the walls when he walked away gave me chills
How the vid faded of was just breathtaking. This is a man who truly loves his work.
First time hearing this song... it was meant to be heard! Songs hit the soul at the right time and place in life. God is good! God bless all that read this. You're the head and not the tail!!
this whole album was a masterpiece 😭🥺❤️
Chasing summer best R&B album of 2019 change my mind.
Thing with SiR is that you don't know if he's trying to hit the right note or he if he's reliving the pain
Man this right here. That's what really sells the heartbreak in this song. This is musical brilliance at play here
He feels his music on another level
idk why this comment hit deeper than the song! 🔥😪
He’s definitely ain’t tryna to hit any notes…he’s beyond that.
🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥
