yeah man, this is music...why songs exist

[@giancarlo3081]

Been traveling these wide roads for so long
My heart's been far from you
Ten-thousand miles gone
Oh, I wanna come near and give ya
Every part of me
But there is blood on my hands
And my lips aren't clean
In my darkness I remember
Momma's words reoccur to me
"Surrender to the good Lord
And he'll wipe your slate clean"
Take me to your river
I wanna go
Oh, go on
Take me to your river
I wanna know
Tip me in your smooth waters
I go in
As a man with many crimes
Come up for air
As my sins flow down the Jordan
Oh, I wanna come near and give ya
Every part of me
But there is blood on my hands
And my lips aren't clean
Take me to your river
I wanna go
Go on,
Take me to your river
I wanna know
I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know
Take me to your river
I wanna go
Lord, please let me know
Take me to your river
I wanna know

Buenas tardes. Magnifica canción. Sublime interpretación.

[@lazer54]

Soul singer: Sam Cooke would be proud. This wasn’t the song that got me here: it’s the one that makes me stay. He’s growing immensely as an artist and it’s a great ride to be on. Saw him for $17 in a small room; what a talent.

[@kindacoolstuff1595]

Bet that was incredible. Small venues are so much more intimate

[@ryanphelan6861]

Saw Leon too in Worcester Sam cooke with soul stirrers is about as good as it gets. I swear to my ear Leon reminds me of Sam and Michael kiwanuka sounds lot like Otis Redding 🤙🎶 safe travels

[@virtuallyreplayed9776]

All American brought me here; Leon Bridges made me stay over and over again.

[@iulia1690]

[@guydwy]

He is using different tuning here. I wish I could tell what open chord he has the guitar tune to

[@kt2775]

Standard tuning. Think it would sound better with open chords

[@smlovefee]
