Did anyone else notice
This man is INCREDIBLE , I have found absolutely nothing to complain about any songs I've been blessed to hear from him , absolutely wonderful artist
It's like going through life without hearing, and then one day GOD opens your ears. "Soft and sweet, the song repeats".
Ahh I know I love this recent discovery of his evolution and dedication to his craft..."Cold little Heart" in studio got me hooked
To think he was gonna collaborate with Kayne west lol I feel like that would've been bad for his career.
indeed, yes
This isn't music....this is the divine truth
Never heard of this guy, heard one song and now 6 songs later I am still listening. Incredible talent.
I thought for sure this was Nina Simone. I heard it while watching All American and almost plugged in Nina Simone, Solid Ground and plugged in only Solid Ground and his name came up.
How does it feel when it's quiet and calm?
And will I be denied?
How will it feel when it's time to move on?
Mother says kneel and pray
When it gets hard, I will roll those sleeves
Life can be so unkind
I will be found on the edge of the world
Where there'll be no one around
Oh, solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
How does it feel to be on your own?
No one to understand
I know I'm here and I don't belong
I'm on my knees today
When it gets dark, I will know no fear
Life can be so unkind
Hanging around on the edge of the world
Finally no one around
Oh, would you help me?
I don't understand
Is it over?
Am I losing solid ground?
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
Hard-of-hearing, deaf community thank you---lyrics.
The violins sound is like an answer to his voice.
U'r high aren't u
Yes buddy, you could say that. They are having a melodic conversation with the vocals. Beautiful arrangement.
@@RyanKoriya It was fun to play!
@@kwesiedman you played in it?
@@RyanKoriya Yep. I'm the cellist in it. And 'Light'
Theres no doubt that he is the most talented artist in our time.
It's true
Check out Black Pumas but I really like this guy!
@@mporter123456 Will do!
well,, you havent heard me yet...
@@joachimdahl233 Give me a reason to, then!
Can't stop listening to his music. I'm late to the show but I'm staying.
right on time
I wish he'd get a James Bond opening song. It's such a wonderful full sound with a slow build to power.
Exactly man I thought that exact thing after accidenally finding this song whilest searching for the lyrics to another song, within the first 5 seconds.i was like, yeah one of these modern James bond intros for sure
He's on Animal Kingdom soundtrack.
When my wife and I first split....I listened to this song over and over again....and cried and cried... it didn't fix anything but it started the healing process....this man's music is powerful...
i hope you find your soulmate someday. I never did for reasons beyond my control.
How does it feel when it's quiet and calm?
And will I be denied?
How will it feel when it's time to move on?

Great, thanks
tranen …..
van pure ontroering
Thankyou all American for introducing me to this masterpiece
The undeniable beauty of the MK minor chord progressions.
🙏
Yes🕴
There is this really rare quality to his voice that almost reminds me of Nina Simone. Truly beautiful.
Like someone said in another comment, this is the kind of song you need to listen to in a car with an ashtray.
Very good sir
With all the uncertainty that is going on in this world, you able to bring us back some solid Ground for our Hearts and Minds.
Thank you Michael Kiwanuka and your band for this beautiful Performance.
You’re not paying your strings enough.
It’s not often you’re afforded the opportunity to witness an artist performing at the very limit of their abilities, let alone a group of them doing it in unison.
Real music for our souls.. more original voice you won’t find in this wasteland of autotunes artists..
Incredible artist my man🎶
The performance the cinematography... astonishingly beautiful!!
Your words are perfect 👌🎷👍
His voice is so pure.
The string quartet added so much to this song. As well as all the other musicians. They are all shining bright with the song
This should have way more than just a million views. It definitely should have
787,973271 views ❤
I haven't been able to enjoy music much in so long for mental health reasons, but every song by Michael Kiwanuka feels like a masterpiece that I'm just barely present enough to recognise and it's one of the few things keeping me feeling like a human right now.
take care beep beep ! your message speaks to me ! may you feel better and found what you are searching for
@@MrRoots974 Big love bruvva
this guy has a beautiful soul. His songs show that!
Finally I found some talent on the internet
There are so many more great artist that can be found on the internet who do not get the attention they deserve in this Taylor Swift music world. If you like I can make a few recommendations to you.
From day one I listened to MICHAEL KIWANUKA i loved this artist inside out - a master of music from the deepest depth of his beautiful soul ! GOD bless you, Michael. Always an indescribable joy to listen !
Hands down, this is the best song I’ve heard all year. Just saying.
it still is, in 2024❤
One day I will make wonderful films and I will happily say I have been moved by the emotions this man’s music has brought to me... I hear his songs and I can just see it.
This song hits every part of my soul....headphones in and this just takes you to the clouds!!
Yes....
Thank you!!! Ive been on my own for a long time. Theres no solid ground. Thank you for telling me im not alone. There are many of us searching for solid ground!
I was on my knees in October, things can change so quickly. Hope you’ve found some solid ground 💚
thank you, I will not give up. I wish you grace.
🙏❤
Solid ground? No, solid gold! This is simply beautiful....
This man is freaking AMAZING! Extremely talented!
PUT SOME QUALITY HEADPHONE ON FOR THIS ONE!
This song wants me to invest in a good headphone..
I'm embarrassed to say I only heard of Michael today when mentioned for the Mercury prize. This is the first song I've heard of his and it's not very often after one listen does a song strike me like this!
Absolutely beautiful! I'm now going to spend the rest of today listening to him. I'm onboard 👍🏻
Welcome John.
You are in for a treat!! Literally my top albums of the year each time: Love and Hate AND KIWANUKA. Just brilliant!!
you will not be let down
Can't wait to see him Iive next year
Fantastic contemporary soul-black-music!! 😇😇👍👍🥰🥰
This still put tears my eyes no matter how many times I listen ,it still absolutely moves my soul ! If you can't understand that , you have no feelings !
The finest, authentic, heartfelt music in the world. Truly beautiful.
Brilliant - and the social distancing in the video is such a poignant reflection of our times. Song gives hope - a better and solid tomorrow is coming.
i am your biggest fan from Angola. Jah bless
My favorite Michael Kiwanuka song - he absolutely is amazing live. Here's hoping those days return!
Facts
Love this song, love his voice, love the words.
This is my all time favorite song by him the lyrics hit hard and true for most of us I’m thanking God for having me back on solid ground🙏🏿🙏🏿🥰❤️
Been a fan since day one, still amazes me every single time!
saddens me to see that this performance has only 25k viewers when some tekashi 69 or some other low quality musician gets to a million viewers in less than a hour, when all the respect and views should go to lyrical and vocal geniuses like Michael and others.
keep on putting this amazing pieces of art!
Those of us who understand and respect real music will be here any single time!
so a hear later same the views went UP quite a bit 🎹🎵🎶🎼
Well, I watch it about 20 times a day, so I'm doing my part!
What a voice
Although we are physically apart from one another because of COVID 19, we can be together collectively in mind and spirit that way we will never be alone...One Love!!!
I got tears in my eyes
This Song is a real Master peace..
Heard this from the movie Kandahar. And I was like, I gotta find this song. This is beautiful
So beautiful to me in every way. Man what a genius!
I love this young man! Finally someone in his generation to bring art back to music and song. Each song is so powerful. Keep songs coming.
This is one of those songs that I feel in my bones. I can’t imagine how anyone can hit the “unlike” button.
I just heard this song on the late late show with James Corden. I have NEVER IN MY LIFE been so moved by a piece that I felt chills and had goosebumps. This song... My god. It's so beautiful. Thank you. You gave me that experience. I'm sitting here on my couch with tears just freely streaming down my face and such a deep feeling of appreciation, I don't really know what to do with myself. You're absolutely amazing. Such a simple melody, Such little involvement with the left hand-- after four years of studying the piano and being unable to do complicated things.. THIS is a song I can learn to play. A beautiful, moving masterpiece. And I can learn it. Music means so much to me. Thank you so much, just for existing. Producing something so wonderful is just an added bonus.
So happy that Michael Kiwanuka is getting the recognition he deserves. First heard him almost 10 years ago and was blown away. He was so good, I almost wanted to keep him my little secret discovery. Glad I didn't and now everyone knows! Love and Peace!
An absolute STAR, you just seem to get lost in Michael's lyrics and outstanding musical talent...... Thank you sir...
Gawddamn! This made me feel actual real human emotions🥺🥹
Such a masterpiece. I was completely taken over and transcended. Moving at best! 👏🏻
M.Kiwanuka + L.Einaudi....Let's make it happen!
Another great song, music and arrangements from a great songwriter/composer.
Yep. True gift. His good soul is there to see, and it reaches mine💕
Kandahar got me searching for this song! So beautiful!
Same case
Heard this guy's music in Atlanta. Had to hear more.
Blissful... Nothing less.
how lucky to record in that location. in front of the victoria&albert museum i used to sell ice-cream to the tourist in the seventies.
Michael Kiwanuka thank you for everything you put on your performance with that pure soul ! God bless you ! Hope to see you one day
Hi Micheal, I just wanted to let you know that Ugandans are proud of you mate.
Continue to spread peace and tranquillity through your amazing music, I truly appreciate your craft and art of delivery.
Hope he wins the The Mercury Prize this evening.
Wow. He won!
Still searching for solid ground too...Beautiful composition and lyrics, great live performance. Excellent choice of the historical location.Thank you so much.
Twists me into exhaustion with tears. Beautiful.
❤ i love and feel it❤
I can't really explain the feeling when am listening to his songs!
How the hell isn't this is a complete blown up song
I just heard this in the soundtrack of an Australian tv series and thought it was a Nina Simone I hadn't heard before. I searched TH-cam and found this. This really has the sound of Nina. Lovely.
❤🎵🎵🎵 the setting, the music the artist, the voice the lyrics everything is perfect
So much soul
Doesn’t get any better than this.
𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑢𝑙.

His voice and music touches the deepest inside...like celestial.
This background excellent!
Go on please.
Never give up.
Thank you very much!
Look how bloody clean this visual is praise the camera person for knowing what bumbuclart camera to use this is truly a work of art
Clean clean clean
Genius 😍😍😍💜
I love how haunting this song is.
Last song at the end of Troppo brought me here. Such a beautiful voice and instrumental 🎶 Very smooth, just floats effortlessly through the air
You've just made my day better. Thank you
You should come to Brazil
SIM 💚🇧🇷
This was so beautifully done. Everything came together perfectly.
Talent at it's finest
It's rare that every single performance of a single song can become it's own masterpiece by the same artist -- just. he really is... just that good.
PERFECT 💖💖💖💚💚💚🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Canta de mais, pqp fico até arrepiado...
Beyond beautiful
I'm heartbroken, I'm made whole, I'm born again.
I'm already a BIG fan of his!! But tonight, I decided to watch a Netflix movie & chill. The movie was The Beautiful Game and ya'll it's so moving. This little gem played in the background on one scene and i watched the credits to see the name of the song. I saw his name first and knew I was in the right place. Beautiful song 4 a Beautiful film!!❤❤❤
This music is so beautiful... and his voice!!!
1 thing that I'm not happy about is that I've only just discovered this genius music ...My loss until now ....
Same never heard of him, was looking for a different video when I stumbled across him and my qm6 videos later and still stunned❤❤😮
Wow. When he began to sing I got goosebumps. He is so talented and I have the upmost respect for him. Just an excellent artist and singer.
Dear God. I have tickets to see him in Madrid, and it keeps getting pushed further and further back, but I can't imagine it won't be worth the wait. This is incredible
Kiwanuka continues to knock it out of the park. Beautiful rendition of Solid Ground
my favorite artist right now for real mostly everything he does is just DOPE flat out this was EPIC as well
There really are no words for this guy except two. THANK YOU.
So good 👍🔥 16 ocak 2023
I will always love this song for my healing heart .
Unreal!
Woow
Gonna be listening to this every sad time to get back 🥰🤗 I love his voice
