Oh My Wow!.. The build from 3:16 on is remarkable.. The power.. the passion.. the raw emotion.. the all-too-palpable desperation -- Music doesn't get more "real" than this.. The performance of this song alone has already made me a "Forever-Fan".. Bravo!
I will have 100 people watch this performance this month. Everyone who comes to our house has to watch it. I have teared up every time I have watched it. I Love Music !!! I Love Talent.....Passion is everything and it is so pure here. Where the hell have you been, and what is wrong that I have never heard of you till last week, and that was by accident looking for something from Billy Montana....Erick- you are absolutely amazing. Thank You, Thank You !!!!! You can't fake this. WOW !!!
This world pisses me off so much. I've known about Erick Baker for many years now. I really like his music and he still only has 5k Subscribers. He has more talent than all of mainstream musicians who cant even write their own songs or play an instrument. I write songs as well but I'm no where near as good as Erick Baker and I can't sing. But if he has been on here for 10+ years now and still only has 5k subscribers what is the point. The music industry no longer cares about talent or real music. It's really disgusting. As the years go on the talent pool gets lower and lower. Guys like this that actually deserve the spotlight don't even get a seat at the table.
I found this song and it instantly became my girlfriend and my song... but now she is gone, and I can't help but feel every emotion when I hear this song
Erick Baker is as AWESOME performer. If you ever get a chance to see him perform live you will come away amazed at his passion, the way he milks everything from a song, and leaves you feeling like you've just seen something that no other live performer does. And on top of that he is a kind and caring person. He allowed my son to sing a song for our twin daughters 30th birthday at one of his concerts, and he really didn't have to do that. GO SEE HIM!!
“Let’s fill this room with empty coffee cups, so we don’t ever have to go to sleep. Cause if I close my eyes I feel tomorrow won’t let this day repeat”❤️
Man something about this song just gets to me! Gives the lump in throat feeling. Great song, awesome dude, can't believe I'm just hearing this song. Haven't found a song I didn't love.
How in the hell can there be 9 dislikes? Are there people out there that dislike amazing music? Gotta be people that accidentally hit it or just trolls. As a matter of fact I'm gonna listen to this amazing song again.
Wow, wow, WOW! I recently discovered this song and instantly fell in love with it. Certain songs give me goosebumps and this is one of them. I decided to Google this song to find out more about the artist and came across this video. I can count on one hand the number of performances that have made me cry - this is one of them. I can't explain it, but this makes me feel so many emotions. Unbelievable song and performace. That passion, the words, the sound, everything about it is amazing!
Turning locks and losing the keys. A heart left open will have unwelcomed guest of hurt, but nonetheless the emptiness is just as consuming. Open the door, let the light in. Anyone else "speak to the choir " after hearing impeccable godsends such as this one? 👏 The way it showcases his foo awekwordly tapping with the beat of heart and song, imperfection and beauty of the here and now , anxiously intoxicating, to me, my choir. Open doors yall. Spring is here. Let light and lovers bypass built-in barriers. ✌
ah YES...my favourite song, forever etched in my mind, especially after your Highlands Orchard series last summer. Thank you for the gift of your music...
The cat got me up early so I came downstairs, fired up a cup of coffee and opened my email to see your new release of Fight for Your Right (which was awesome), but I stayed to hear this again, for the second (millionth) time. It blows me away, EVERY TIME! I love how your eyes shine while you sing to Mandy and I love how you almost pop out of your seat with all that energy, soul, and beautiful sound coming through you. You have such an incredible talent, Erick -- thank you for sharing you! Life is better (and we are better) for knowing you and your incredible family.
I absolutely love this song! my fiancee sent it to me after a big fight we had. when I listened to it I broke down crying. and I've listened to this song every day since then. I love his passion, the way he sings! this is going to be our wedding song. Erick, you are an amazing singer!
Out of ALL the music I've had the privilege of hearing and seeing live, I don't think I've ever seen so much enthusiasm, dedication and truth as Erick displays. I've attended more live events than I can possibly remember. The closest I've personally seen to Erick is Charlie Daniels
@@ErickBakerMusic Every single time I listen to it I get chills halfway through and then towards the end my eyes fill with tears. Every single time. The passion in your performance is overwhelming. 💗
This song is #1 on my ITunes Playlist. Good luck Erick finding the balance you seek between family and your musical passion. I know you will do well in both. God bless!
I have loved this song for YEARS! I heard it on a radio station playing local artists years ago, coming down a backroad to my house and I fell in love with it immediately. It’s beautiful and perfect.
Wow the pain I remember feeling back then hits me like a train.... Only a couple people know that this song was on repeat during the peak pain of my divorce almost a decade ago already.. I found it at at a time you would think would be the worst time to find this song, but it gave me hope that I could have this someday. I cried my ass off night after night back then wishing for a woman that was nothing like the one I had to divorce after 12 years and 2 kids. Im proud to say that pain is healed and I've been with the most supportive woman I've ever met in my life, one who doesn't stand in the way of my dreams or desires. Instead she's included in those dreams of mine, and includes me in hers. People, I can't stress this enough when I tell you that the feeling of imminent death that comes with a very serious relationship ending, will not last forever and will not define who you are. You HAVE to let the clock tick and let time heal. You may be reading this and thinking, "Yea bullsh*t dude.. you have no clue what I just lost or the memories we've had, and now im losing it all." I assure you 1000% I know what losing all of this feels like, including the sight of unbearable pain and desperation in my childrens faces when we told them the divorce news. Every holiday memory, every beach day, every movie night, every road trip, every photo, every talk, every promise, every intimate moment, everything you remember that is currently killing you inside... ALL of this gets easier with time, it gets better, you have my word. Let time do its job. Time fking heals! While you wait for it, find out who you are and what you enjoy. The puzzle piece you're searching for to fit into yours, will show up when its time.
Hey Eric it is jj don’t know if your ember me but I am don straten nephew you use to host his July 4 party’s man I still listen to your music today your great man just want to tell you and reach out to you would love some tickets sometime but be easy brother
I don't know how their faces didn't melt off. That audience was way too calm and I feel they didn't fully appreciate the emotional delivery. Powerful stuff.
Was lucky enough to stumble upon this amazing performance and artist . And have listened to it at least once a day since simply awesome 😊 As are a lot of his other songs
I accidentally stumbled upon Stay Awhile on TH-cam while searching for an old embarrassing 70's song with the same title by The Bells (I'm 60 years old). Since then I have grown very fond of Stay Awhile by Erick Baker and have become an instant fan of his music, Stay Awhile (Awesome), Unbroken Promise, Comfort You, Who I Want to Be, etc. Great sound, awesome talent. I love his Rihanna cover of Stay. Great artist!
+Lori Mattice He is talking to you. It's what makes Erick different than every other artist - he'll tell you that he does what he does for all of us, and he means it. :)
I don't understand why I haven't heard of this guy until today? This is just amazing! Just so moving. An incredible show of passion, vulnerability, vocal all you f****** got, and a final build to jesus H, wow. Thanks Pandora for the heads up. Gotta love the Ray Lamontagne channel.
Oh My Wow!.. The build from 3:16 on is remarkable.. The power.. the passion.. the raw emotion.. the all-too-palpable desperation -- Music doesn't get more "real" than this.. The performance of this song alone has already made me a "Forever-Fan".. Bravo!
You are not kidding! So soulful
Everything you said was perfect. Beautiful song.
he is so underrated

I had the privilege of seeing him preform, breathtaking

My thanks to Erik Scott Smith From the Heidi and Frank Show KLOS FM 95.5, Los Angeles, CA for turning me on to this great singer!

Open doors yall. Spring is here. Let light and lovers bypass built-in barriers. ✌
that woman at 4:50 is thinking "yes, i will be the mother of your child."
That’s his wife!

Amazing isn't even a powerful enough word to describe your performance and gift of a voice. Fabulous words. I could listen to you everyday!
Why are non of these people crying? He is so amazing, I could only imagine hearing him live.
Amazing performance,The End
Thank you so much!!!
I absolutely love this song! my fiancee sent it to me after a big fight we had. when I listened to it I broke down crying. and I've listened to this song every day since then. I love his passion, the way he sings! this is going to be our wedding song. Erick, you are an amazing singer!

My heart aches and swells with so much emotion with this song. Wow. Just wow.
Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The passion brings me to tears. 💖

I have loved this song for YEARS! I heard it on a radio station playing local artists years ago, coming down a backroad to my house and I fell in love with it immediately. It’s beautiful and perfect.
As with so many others I'm sure, this instantly became mine and my girlfriend's song. Great lyrics and amazing vocals. Awesome job!
