I really think so .. the fact that you can hear a voice and instantly start tearing up I think it’s god given that not a lot of ppl can feel definitely a different vibration
My baby was born 5 months ago and since day 1 he’s only able to go to sleep or stay calm with Tems music. Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice with the world
I lost my 5 month old this week and we listened to this every time we went somewhere, she was extremely talkative whenever I would play this song. I’ve been so lost these past couple of days but tems voice is helping me feel a bit better.💔
Forget the lyrics. Imagine you didn't speak English, just listen to the sound. Then you will get it. It's a spiritual awakening sound. It's Soul calling for compassion, giving love, showing care. With that goes the feeling of regret and inadequacy because, deep down, we need to do more to make this life easier, better, happier for ourselves and the next person. Tems is a spiritual person who doesn't need to sing gospel songs but gets to uplift people's consciousness by just making sounds from the depths of her being. I hope she gets to read this.
I disagree. The only reason you like this so much is because it's a live performance with the tempo slowed down, if she performed her other songs this way I'm sure you'd have a hard time picking the best one
Oct 2024, left work, busy day, I was exhausted, got a Lyft home.... slipped into the car and immediately was totally mindblown by her voice.i told the Lyft driver, omg this singer, the vibe, her phrasing is lush, gorgeous...so I used Shazam and now I know it's Tems and this song was and will be a forever favorite. Man what a gift to hear such a great song in a random Lyft ride. That voice, it's powerful and beautiful.
it’s the whole song for me but when she said “ If the world was ending would you cry or would you try to get me ? “ I felt that on a different level 🥺❤️
i cannot wrap my head around this unbelievable performance, she is a master storyteller. i am so moved, god has blessed my ears todayyyy. tears come to my eyes watching her beauty and power.
💓💓💓 The lyrics, “If the world was ending, would you cry or would you try to get me…I need you to be clearer….I will wait for you..” Touches my heart deeply bc it speaks love to me. ⚜️
Then u not a tems fan I heard this version & the other one the radio hyped future version up they knew no better that’s why but they woke up boy is ignorance blind 😮💨🥴😩
Tems is deep,glad she’s finally getting recognition.Her voice is unique,also she sings with her accent and enunciates well.She’s Yoruba and the language is very tonal and versatile
It's funny becus alot of people don't actually know that til they watch the video .... Her voice ..it's just ..no words... The earthiness of it almost makes her sound like a man ..it's so gorgeous .... Tem's ... blessings.
I have a toddler and an infant. They were both having a meltdown and I played this on the TV. Both calmed down and just stared in awe watching her sing
First song I heard her was on Essence and when I heard it I knew I had to hear more! Her voice is so amazing! Her emotion and delivery are so pure! Straight from the heart I can't wait to hear more!
Yeah…. This Is how I fee waiting for her, will try my best to comfort,protect and understand her but she not ready for what I have to give, damn! A Black man’s Love is tragic, but if she is worth it,she’s worth it!
Higher Lyrics [Intro] Mmm, oh Higher, higher Saying higher-er-er-er, ayy [Verse 1] Tell me why you're crying now kini big deal When you gave me something I don't really feel But you knew that already When I found you on the ground you were dying Now you come into my yard, uninvited Can you see me on the edge? I'm enlightened [Chorus 1] If the world was ending Would you cry or would you try to get me? Tell me now, I want you to be clear, yeah Tell me now, I need you to be clеar, yeah I will wait for you, for you I will wait for you I will wait for you [Verse 2] Get me Can you put thе time on a rewind, yeah Help me understand, can you tell me now Why you made the war that we're fighting now And you fall and you run When you see my big guns Run around, run away As the rebel comes out Then you call call on me When you call me I come But there you go again [Verse 3] With your deaf ears Open your mind to the sound of the trumpet What do you want from a life of the hopeless Now here you are and you're begging and crying I want to fly, yeah, I'm flying till morning Running away to the land of discovery Running away from the suffering, I'm gone, yeah Running away from the darkness, I'm out here, yeah [Chorus 2] Higher than all the limits Going way beyond the noise and your feelings When you speak all I can hear is silence Turning back from all the pain and violence Big tunes, now it's big tunes I'm killing Cry now from the side now, call my name Fall down when you see me, you know that You know that I won't stay for you I will wait for you, for you I will wait for you I will wait for you
Sitting in my car at 2am just listening to this on repeat thinking about everything going on in life this song is a real vibe 💯 touches the soul idk it’s hard to explain..
Going through a tough phase of life, laying on my bed, while watching this video around 12:11 am with tears in my eyes when I'm supposed to be sleeping.
"when you call all I can hear is silence..." Then it actually goes silent for a second 😭, that small detail on the actual song and this performance emphasis that line as a powerful bar!
Literally my favorite part of this performance it’s makes the words resonate on a different level! I found this track a few weeks back and I’ve been enjoying it often since then. Tems is slept on fa sho, she is indeed a 💎
Drake & Future did a smart move in adding this beautiful, angelic voice into their track "Wait For You". Please, please give this woman her respect, time for radio play & main stream albums
This song(Higher) was actually released in 2020 in her debut EP "for broken ears". If you love this song, Wait until you listen to the whole EP....oh and after that listen to her second EP too "If orange was a place". Prepared to be mind blown!!
@@gerardolara4477 God bless you too my friend. I Just find joy in seeing new people discovering Tems. I feel like she's what the whole world has been missing, and everyone needs to hear her
I feel like such a cry baby, but I can't help but cry bc she so articulately, gracefully & beautifully said everything I'm thinking & feeling to perfection. The depth of her vulnerability for this love she can't help but feel was so felt in her voice. I think we've all felt this at least once in our lives as women. She captured that feeling w/ so much precision. GOT DAMN
The amount of music talents in Nigeria is insane, the world need to hear us. Nigerian music is the present of future of the global music scene. What out!
[Intro] Mmm, oh Higher, higher Saying higher-er-er-er, ayy [Verse 1] Tell me why you're crying now kini big deal When you gave me something I don't really feel But you knew that already When I found you on the ground you were dying Now why you come into my yard, uninvited?

My boyfriend was Nigerian. He passed away February 18 2022. We have a one year old daughter together.. I had a kidney transplant and thought it would be me. 🕊️❤️🩹 This song speaks volumes !!!
Mmh Ooh Higher Higher Saying higher Ayy Tell me why you're crying now kini big deal (Higher, higher, higher, higher) When you gave me something I don't really feel (Higher, higher, higher, higher) But you knew that already When I found you on the ground You were dying (higher, higher, higher, higher) Now you come into my yard, uninvited Can you see me on the edge? I'm enlightened (higher, higher, higher, higher) If the world was ending Would you cry or would try to get me? Tell me now, I want you to be clear, yeah (tell me) Tell me now, I need you to be clear, yeah (tell me) I will wait for you, for you I will wait for you I will wait for you Get me Can you put the time on a rewind, yeah? Help me understand, can you tell me now? Why you made the war that we're fighting now? (Higher, higher, higher, higher) And you fall and you run when you see my big guns Run around, run away as the rebel comes out Then you call, call on me when you call me I come But there you go again (there you go) With your deaf ears Open your mind to the sound of the trumpet What do want from a life of the hopeless? (of the hopeless) Now here you are and you're begging and crying (and your crying) I want to fly, yeah, I'm flying 'til morning Running away to the land of discovery Running away from the suffering, I'm gone, yeah Running away from the darkness, I'm out here, yeah (higher, higher) Higher than all the limits Going way beyond the noise and your feelings When you speak all I can hear is silence Turning back from from all the pain and violence Big tunes, now it's big tunes I'm killing Cry now from the side now, call my name Fall down when you see me, you know that You know that I won't stay for you, you I will wait for you for you, for you I will wait for you I will wait for you
That’s because SHE is a STAR who had a career before Future or Drake! She carried them!! This is HER song!! When I found “Higher” this song is annoying now 🧐🧐
“I want to fly, yeah, I'm flying 'til morning Running away to the land of discovery..” “Higher than all the limits Going way beyond the noise…” This is my favorite song of Tems. Beautifully written and preformed. The message is way deeper than the surface.
This needs to be released as is, this is probably my favorite live vocal performance, and the guitarists who accompany her are stunningly amazing too. I cant get enough of it, just beautiful
Why am I crying at this video? Am I marveled at the light that exists in every being? Is this my way of appreciating talent? Or odd I just realize life is beautiful AF? Why am I crying?
I mean I understand you point. To me, i can feel her heart when she sings. More like deep within. Not so much masculine. She sings with direction! Clarity! You can hear her message!
Yes, I am in Tennessee and randomly took a chance and listened to her song and I’m hooked. I’ve never listened to to much Jamaican music other than drakes take on it and Rhianna. This is beyond and just the best singing I’ve heard since H.E.R made her first big appearance.
Lawd have mercy!!! How she just effortlessly killed this!! Yes to a Jazmine Sullivan collab! Yes to tiny desk!! We need more of these acoustic vocals Miss ma’am!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whoever’s reading this, i pray that whatever your going’s through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Tears instantly flowed from my eyes as I press through my first Christmas without my mom. I love the memories but nothing compares to her earthly presence. I will always love you mother💕🙏🏽
@@myhappyness1I know exactly how you feel. I lost my sister in 2016 & I lost my mom in December 2017. Things haven't been the same since they've passed. We have to stay strong for them. Never let their memories fade away.
Such a beautiful song. I never heard this until I saw AMERICAN idol and Ajii sang it. You NEED to let Ajii make a remake song of this I loved how he sang it on AMERICAN idol ❤❤❤❤

Higher Lyrics
[Intro]
Mmm, oh
Higher, higher
Saying higher-er-er-er, ayy
[Verse 1]
Tell me why you're crying now kini big deal
When you gave me something I don't really feel
But you knew that already
When I found you on the ground you were dying
Now you come into my yard, uninvited
Can you see me on the edge? I'm enlightened
[Chorus 1]
If the world was ending
Would you cry or would you try to get me?
Tell me now, I want you to be clear, yeah
Tell me now, I need you to be clеar, yeah
I will wait for you, for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
[Verse 2]
Get me
Can you put thе time on a rewind, yeah
Help me understand, can you tell me now
Why you made the war that we're fighting now
And you fall and you run
When you see my big guns
Run around, run away
As the rebel comes out
Then you call call on me
When you call me I come
But there you go again
[Verse 3]
With your deaf ears
Open your mind to the sound of the trumpet
What do you want from a life of the hopeless
Now here you are and you're begging and crying
I want to fly, yeah, I'm flying till morning
Running away to the land of discovery
Running away from the suffering, I'm gone, yeah
Running away from the darkness, I'm out here, yeah
[Chorus 2]
Higher than all the limits
Going way beyond the noise and your feelings
When you speak all I can hear is silence
Turning back from all the pain and violence
Big tunes, now it's big tunes I'm killing
Cry now from the side now, call my name
Fall down when you see me, you know that
You know that I won't stay for you
I will wait for you, for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
You're for the people!! 🙏
Thanks for that!!

A Grace in These Times Yea ❤️🔥💌🙈🙉🙊
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I have to see her in person. She’s a work of art.
I can take you where she lives
@@collinsoconnor5843 Creep
She's really so beautiful. 😩
I swearrrrr😍
I saw her at broccoli city fest and she sounds just as good live, so amazing
I feel like such a cry baby, but I can't help but cry bc she so articulately, gracefully & beautifully said everything I'm thinking & feeling to perfection. The depth of her vulnerability for this love she can't help but feel was so felt in her voice. I think we've all felt this at least once in our lives as women. She captured that feeling w/ so much precision. GOT DAMN
I’m so glad I found Tems… she is pure beauty… her voice is magical..
Nothing better love nothing better❤️
October 2024, anybody?

Have a great day❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

If it wasn’t for future I wouldn’t have known I needed this masterpiece
I forgot . Future put Andre 3000 on that beat n rap.Time is now.
Poetry
If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have known that I needed the incandescent light.
Imagine finding out Tems through future yikes
@@aleyna671 it’s very sad but…. Future brought me here too. And I’m very grateful
10+ months after, no one ever thought Future would sample this song and put Tems on his album. FuturexTemsxDrake 🔥 🔥 🔥
Kodak kind of sampled this too on Love and War, without her vocals though
Tems carried it
That song was bad tho
She already made a Drake album so Futute is pretty meh. Im js
@@hectorrico7267 wait for u was drake song a clb throwaway
I never get tired of returning back to this. Her voice gives so much reassurance for hope in the world. Like this comment if you can relate.
Right she on the playlist actually she no1 on the list
Literally same.🤗 I listen to this version at least twice a day.😅 I'm obsessed.✨️
I feel exactly the same ✌️
I can relate
Her voice is different and beautiful, but out of curiosity, how does it "give so much reassurance for hope in the world"?
Tems voice sounds like the warmth of the morning sunshine on your skin ❤️
I cant stop listening to this. Her voice is that of an angel
The amount of music talents in Nigeria is insane, the world need to hear us.
Nigerian music is the present of future of the global music scene. What out!
I couldn't possibly agree more!!
Put me on some Nigerian artist 💯💯
I'm from Botswana and Nigerian music is just wow. I fell in love with it 5 years ago and it has been amazing listening to all these artists
Agreed. I love my people ✊🏾
Trust me we are listening!!! All the way from Jhb SA and was just going through the comments and I saw this! Trust me we acknowledge the Talent 🙏🏿
[Intro]
Mmm, oh
Higher, higher
Saying higher-er-er-er, ayy
[Verse 1]
Tell me why you're crying now kini big deal
When you gave me something I don't really feel
But you knew that already
When I found you on the ground you were dying
Now why you come into my yard, uninvited?
Can you see me on the edge? I'm enlightened
[Chorus]
If the world was ending
Would you cry or would you try to get me?
Tell me now, I want you to be clear, yeah
Tell me now, I need you to be clеar, yeah
I will wait for you, for you
I will wait for you, I will wait for you
[Verse 2]
Get me, can you put thе time on a rewind, yeah
Help me understand, can you tell me now
Why you made the war that we're fighting now
And you fall and you run when you see my big guns
Run around, run away as the rebel comes out
Then you call, call on me when you call me I come
But there you go again
[Verse 3]
With your deaf ears
Open your mind to the sound of the trumpet
What do you want from a life of the hopeless
Now here you are, you're begging and crying
I want to fly, yeah, I'm flying till morning
Running away to the land of discovery
Running away from the suffering, I'm gone, yeah
Running away from the darkness, I'm out here, yeah
[Chorus]
Higher than all the limits
Going way beyond the noise and your feelings
When you speak all I can hear is silence
Running back from all the pain and violence
Big tunes, now it's big tunes I'm killing
Cry now from the side now, call my name
Fall down when you see me, you know that
You know that I will stay for you
I will wait for you, for you
I will wait for you, I will wait for you
WHAT A COMBINATION WONDERFUL LYRICS AND BEAUTIFUL SINGING TO GO ALONG WITH IT SHE IS A TRUE GEM.. STRAIGHT FROM HEAVEN✍️❤️🤲🏾❤️
AM MESMERIZED ❤️❤️❤️
🐐sel Palacios 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Angelic
2:32 When you speak all I can hear is silence. Deep! Too Deep Tems!
My boyfriend was Nigerian. He passed away February 18 2022. We have a one year old daughter together.. I had a kidney transplant and thought it would be me. 🕊️❤️🩹 This song speaks volumes !!!

Mmh
Ooh
Higher
Higher
Saying higher
Ayy
Tell me why you're crying now kini big deal
(Higher, higher, higher, higher)
When you gave me something I don't really feel
(Higher, higher, higher, higher)
But you knew that already
When I found you on the ground
You were dying (higher, higher, higher, higher)
Now you come into my yard, uninvited
Can you see me on the edge?
I'm enlightened (higher, higher, higher, higher)
If the world was ending
Would you cry or would try to get me?
Tell me now, I want you to be clear, yeah (tell me)
Tell me now, I need you to be clear, yeah (tell me)
I will wait for you, for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
Get me
Can you put the time on a rewind, yeah?
Help me understand, can you tell me now?
Why you made the war that we're fighting now?
(Higher, higher, higher, higher)
And you fall and you run when you see my big guns
Run around, run away as the rebel comes out
Then you call, call on me when you call me I come
But there you go again (there you go)
With your deaf ears
Open your mind to the sound of the trumpet
What do want from a life of the hopeless? (of the hopeless)
Now here you are and you're begging and crying (and your crying)
I want to fly, yeah, I'm flying 'til morning
Running away to the land of discovery
Running away from the suffering, I'm gone, yeah
Running away from the darkness, I'm out here, yeah (higher, higher)
Higher than all the limits
Going way beyond the noise and your feelings
When you speak all I can hear is silence
Turning back from from all the pain and violence
Big tunes, now it's big tunes I'm killing
Cry now from the side now, call my name
Fall down when you see me, you know that
You know that I won't stay for you, you
I will wait for you for you, for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
That’s because SHE is a STAR who had a career before Future or Drake! She carried them!! This is HER song!! When I found “Higher” this song is annoying now 🧐🧐
@@mayrauiz YASSSS! They don’t know about THIS!!!!!!!
got me in tears
@@Gr3yMary everytime I hear this
“I want to fly, yeah, I'm flying 'til morning
Running away to the land of discovery..”
“Higher than all the limits
Going way beyond the noise…”
This is my favorite song of Tems. Beautifully written and preformed. The message is way deeper than the surface.
Flying to Maldives. A beautiful beach country people see as the land of discovery
That’s phenomenal. It’s such a beautiful place. Hopefully one day, I’ll be able to experience it myself. Definitely on my bucket list.
Definitely
This is my favorite part as well ❤️❤️
Beautiful beautiful beautiful song. Good lord. Thank you for the miracle of birth to listen to this.
This needs to be released as is, this is probably my favorite live vocal performance, and the guitarists who accompany her are stunningly amazing too. I cant get enough of it, just beautiful
When the Acoustic better than the studio version 😩😩😩😩❤️❤️❤️‼️
facts
Her voice brings tears REAL tears to my eyes so beautiful and angelic
Yes! Tears of joy and pain too, but it's very beautiful
No 🧢
I Thought I was the only one who cried to this song
Literally at wrk in tears rn
I always have to pause what I'm doing because I know tears will be flowing when I hear this song.
I can’t tell if it’s my consciousness or soul waking up through song but I can’t get enough of!!!
Why am I crying at this video?
Am I marveled at the light that exists in every being?
Is this my way of appreciating talent? Or odd I just realize life is beautiful AF?
Why am I crying?
I wanna say it ain't this serious but I feel you😌 Smally just so majestic with it
@Nicole Kings Feeling the powers of heaven in human form. He is waiting for you❤💯
Man .. I'm crying too. Lol
Idk why, but I am too…😭
❤️
Nothing in this world sounds like her. She was born special
Jouja Smith sounds like her 😏
@@nunesmiguel7226 no they just have the same singing style. they don’t sound alike
True.
Honestly😎
Giveon vibes from my pov
Her voice is balanced in masculine & feminine energy that’s why she’s one of a kind
Yeah that's pretty rare in singers
Yessss. For the longest time I thought Tems was a male artist. Just off the voice alone.
I don’t see anything masculine in her voice it’s very feminine to me.
@@itsyourscenttv.7040 yeah me either.. don’t know what the hell they talking about lol
I mean I understand you point. To me, i can feel her heart when she sings. More like deep within. Not so much masculine. She sings with direction! Clarity! You can hear her message!
Thank you. I needed you. 🫂
This live version sounds better than the original
I agree! So much soul and passion, and the guitar kicks it up several notches. So beautiful
❤️🔥❤️🔥
Yes because I never understood the hype of tems until I found this gem 💎 😭😭😭now I feel stupid and I love this sm
Agreed
Said the same both are tuff but live should have been on the album lol
She's tearing through the American circuit. Tems is catching fire in the states🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
And I love it. Well over due.
It’s so damn refreshing we needed this a voice like this brings ppl together in my opinion
Yes, I am in Tennessee and randomly took a chance and listened to her song and I’m hooked. I’ve never listened to to much Jamaican music other than drakes take on it and Rhianna. This is beyond and just the best singing I’ve heard since H.E.R made her first big appearance.
@@willharris2607 she’s nigerian
@@taslimah_a ohh sorry, thanks for that info, I’m super uncultured I guess lol
Tems voice is the sound of Ancestors speaking. ♡
❤
Praise Jesus only
Wat a Beautiful way to phase it🙏🏾
I Luv it💯👏🏾
🎯🎤👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
Most Def
Everytime when i hear your music ..i have my peace ... greetings from germany ❤
🤞🏽Me Too🧘🏽♀️💪🏽🧬
Lawd have mercy!!! How she just effortlessly killed this!! Yes to a Jazmine Sullivan collab! Yes to tiny desk!! We need more of these acoustic vocals Miss ma’am!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That would be so fire
But why you gotta be so FLY though DomoniqueSmith?!
Whoever’s reading this, i pray that whatever your going’s through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
i read this and cried because i have been going through alot i really needed this
@@hacklilly9181 same

Amen 🙏🏽
AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This song is so healing
Facts
Yesss it is
Literally!
Healing? f4ck u talk bout get to work
I feel the EXACT same way
Her voice if I was blind I could see how beautiful she is damn ..!! ❤
Tems + Koffee ASAP the world needs it. What a voice and a powerful scenic presence
🔥
Her voice kissed my cheek and gave me the warmest embrace
@hunter111 yes!
such a good way to put it
@@nodrvgsFr but it it's accurate
Best description of what this song (and specifically her singing it) feels like 🥹🥰
Her voice sounds just like song❤ just beautiful ❤
Tears instantly flowed from my eyes as I press through my first Christmas without my mom. I love the memories but nothing compares to her earthly presence. I will always love you mother💕🙏🏽
🙏
🕊️🕊️🕊️Hugs 🌹💕🙏🏾💫💫💫iiiii Feel You….. iiiii Miss My Momma Indeed 😇💕🥰🌹👑🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
@@ninamarie3836 Prayers to you too 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@myhappyness1I know exactly how you feel. I lost my sister in 2016 & I lost my mom in December 2017. Things haven't been the same since they've passed. We have to stay strong for them. Never let their memories fade away.
@@devontezp347 God bless you always. I thank God for the memories
Such a beautiful song. I never heard this until I saw AMERICAN idol and Ajii sang it.
You NEED to let Ajii make a remake song of this I loved how he sang it on AMERICAN idol ❤❤❤❤
If y’all haven’t heard Free Mind by Tems please go listen to it
