It is difficult for me to explain as no native English speaker how I can understand every single word of every single song that James sings. Leave alone the mastery she put on it.
Morgan James, you're one of the most impressive singers I've discovered accidentally on the internet. I'm very glad about that discovery. You're voice, your technique, your guts, your heart .. goosebumps. You're voice goes directly under my skin and in the depths of my soul. Keep being so wonderful - Lots of love from Switzerland
It's so nice to hear a beautiful song and see the singer just standing there letting her voice do the talking without all the histrionics most artists use these days. What a gorgeous voice!
This is definitely one of my favorites among the many that Morgan James and the guys have covered over the years. Morgan, in case you still read these, you are the most talented singer I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. It’s not just the control you have over your instrument, it’s everything that goes into it as well. From the outfits you wear, the way you carry yourself and perform, and the way you sing with such emotion and from the heart leads one to not have any choice but to believe that you have lived every word of the song, ripped up the t-shirt and came back even stronger. Bravo! THIS, is real music!
What a wonderful and soulful rendition. I don't think that female vocalists get enough credit for the emotion and soul that they can infuse into songs like this. Thank you so much for all that you poured into this.
The first time I saw Morgan was the Postmodern Jukebox video, All About That Base. That must have been so much fun to do. Every since then I have been a fan. I love her simplicity and raw musical talent; she is such a breath of fresh air.
О Боже, это восхитительно! В мурашки бросило с первых же нот. Бесподобная игра и вокал. Прямо будто сама спела, как это было эмоционально. Аплодирую стоя.
I can’t believe I’m just now stumbling onto this video for the first time. I hope that y’all are still playing together, I haven’t checked your channel yet to see if you’re still making music together. This was awesome, rhythmically, musically, like y’all FELT those lyrics. It made a lot of everyone’s individual personalities shine and how y’all interact with each other as a group it was fantastic. That was so raw and so real and that voice was just amazing.
I found her through Post Modern Jukebox, along with a heap of other singers that I otherwise never would have found. You should check them out, and listen to Haley and Robin as well - Morgan and Hayley also do an amazing version of Dear Prudence.
I love it. The steel guitar rolled with the accordian + slower pace makes this sound like older blues. Morgan's almost staccato delivery of the lyrics punctuates this giving it a spoken word blue-grass quality. And much respect to Ron, using a stripped down precussion arrangement is ironnically easy to screw up & Ron keeps it on point.
What an interpretation of this song! The combination of that soaring voice and those nasty Mississippi slide guitar licks on the resonator with understated accordion and percussion accompaniment are simply chilling. The sound and words penetrate to the gut like a shot of 100 proof.
Number famous artists (painters/photographers) use same setup in their paintings/photos. Basic background with texture and window letting in natural light to left. Adds to the atmosphere.
This is an interesting take on the song. Whereas the original had a more defiant tone, this version sounds more… sad; more internalized emotions. Both are wonderful renditions.
She's a blues/soul singer so her style tends to bring a more emotional perspective to the music. You should check out her other stuff. She does a great Melissa cover by the Allman Brothers. Even if you're not a fan, it's a great rendition.
I would only suggest making the instrumental part more pronounced and filling. Morgan's voice fills all the gapes, sure. But there is a tiny step to make it perfect.
Your voice, timbre, its strength, magnificent. Hello from France and thank you for these moments of happiness. Votre voix, le timbre, sa force, magnifique. Bonjour de la France et merci pour ces moments de bonheur.

Vocally and musically Awesome ! ! ! I really like the simplicity of the music. That song could go over well with a "full set" accompaniment. But works out so much better with what you chose! Excellent!
Good Lawd you got the blues in your blood. My measure for music is does it get my feet to tappin. Listening to this cover my feet were so happy it made me smile! The musicians are fantastic!
Dearest Morgan. I love this cover (as usual). Would you consider doing a cover of "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaac? I think you would do a fantastic job. Thanks!
Holy Moly ! Combination of type of instrumentation and Super Soulful Emotion really took me right there to that Special Place (electric thru my entire body). Felt the Connection and am thankful !
This needs to go viral!!!!!! This young lady is so underappreciated,her vouce is so strong.ive seen her go from the" barbie girl " song to rhis...i have one word HOLY CRAP!!!! I'de like to here more songs like this or at least done in this bluesy totrured style....AWESOME JOB TO EVERYONE!!!!! MORE PLEASE.
All of your performances are amazing. Everything suits well they're together a complete whole. You can choose well which songs should have been sung and how. Great work.
How does one break into the field of professionally tapping on boxes in the background of awesome videos? I'm digging this vibe of the guy on the right lol!
It's called a "cajón." Reportefly, they were played by stevedores at ports on empty crates of sardines and codfish in Cuba and El Callao in Peru as well as in Spain. You can get incredible sounds out of them.
Late to the party, but I am glad I have arrived. Powerful vocals blends with the other music perfectly. Would love to hear this voice in tandem with Puddles. God bless!
I like it, especially the instrumental arrangement but honestly, it's missing the rag'n'bone soul that builds this song. Clearly, she did it in her style but I like the original style better.
No dancers, no fireworks, no light shows, no gimmicks.
Just pure talent.
That is what should be dominating the charts.
yes !!!!
Charts are kinda bought haha
ok boomer
Dance and fireworks, light shows, are all forms of art that add interest to shows, and shows promote music that end up dominating charts.
@@litewavegames3967 boomers invented the shows you like, kiddo.
Wow!! This lady never fails to give goosebumps when I hear her sing. A duet of this with RagnBone man would be out of this world.
It is difficult for me to explain as no native English speaker how I can understand every single word of every single song that James sings. Leave alone the mastery she put on it.
Morgan James, you're one of the most impressive singers I've discovered accidentally on the internet. I'm very glad about that discovery.

Morgan ,glad I discovered you.Wow.❤️ from Northern Ontario Canada.
Me too! She’s amazing. ❤
I love the calmness in the beginning, and how the intensity slowly comes in as the song further goes on.
It's so nice to hear a beautiful song and see the singer just standing there letting her voice do the talking without all the histrionics most artists use these days. What a gorgeous voice!
First time I’ve ever understood all the words to this song, Morgan’s diction as usual are perfect, and so is she.
I could watch and listen to Morgan James sing for hours and hours!
That’s literally what I’m doing right now. 😅
This is definitely one of my favorites among the many that Morgan James and the guys have covered over the years. Morgan, in case you still read these, you are the most talented singer I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to.

Bravo! THIS, is real music!
I love how she explain emotions through her face and do not care about what people would think of it.
Outstanding voice. Wish she had an original hit song. She deserves to be known!
Every song she‘s performing you can feel every emotion in every word!
So honest, raw, real and touching. Just talent!!
Some people have real problems, some people out of luck
This woman deserves to be as well know as Adelle
She is
Agreed. She''s one of the most outstanding female vocalists in the world just now.
She has to write her on songs for that to happen.
In a better world Morgan James would be better known than Taylor Swift
Who's Addle
What a wonderful and soulful rendition. I don't think that female vocalists get enough credit for the emotion and soul that they can infuse into songs like this. Thank you so much for all that you poured into this.
Met her in person one on one at a Jacksonville Jazz festival after her performance. Her inside shines just as bright as her voice & smile🥰
the whole package right here--a great looker with tons of talent, a great voice and a serious artist in every way--take care of yourself Morgan.
The first time I saw Morgan was the Postmodern Jukebox video, All About That Base. That must have been so much fun to do. Every since then I have been a fan. I love her simplicity and raw musical talent; she is such a breath of fresh air.
Bass..............
Among her best! A soulful voice...so great.
Morgan is a KILLLER. I just wanted to say that before I said. . .those instrumentals were BANGIN
О Боже, это восхитительно! В мурашки бросило с первых же нот. Бесподобная игра и вокал. Прямо будто сама спела, как это было эмоционально. Аплодирую стоя.
There is no way to prove I'm a huge Morgan James fan, but of all her amazing covers... This is IT. Over and over I come back to this video.
I absolutely adore the tone of this woman’s voice …
I am always amazed at her power , range and emotionality.
She is so jazzy and gifted and beautiful ,I am so impressed ,please come to Paris we miss talent like yours .
Ms. James is a singular talent. She has total, and apparently effortless, command of her instrument.
“Nothing that looks effortless is effortless.” - Tiffany Poon
Fantastic ¡¡¡¡¡¡ Voice and Musicians ¡¡¡¡ Great ¡¡¡
The Roy Orbison Situation. "Just" standing there all in black and killing it.

I love this artist. She is amazing
One of the most mesmerizing voices ive ever heard. Could listen for days.
If u love mesmerizing or unique performances I would recommend diana ankudinova she is 17 this year but she is unique and talented.
Morgan James, what an amazing cover of this song! Your band was flawless and I certainly felt the message. Thanks for your expression and art!
Mravillosa. Esta es una hermosa joya de cancion en USA . Enorme voz y tremenda presencia de mujer. Es simplemente espectacular.
What an interpretation of this song! The combination of that soaring voice and those nasty Mississippi slide guitar licks on the resonator with understated accordion and percussion accompaniment are simply chilling. The sound and words penetrate to the gut like a shot of 100 proof.
Props to whoever chose the location too. beautiful textures.

Great job morgan, really felt it. shout out to rag n bone man for making it to the point where he is getting covered by another great artist
This is an interesting take on the song. Whereas the original had a more defiant tone, this version sounds more… sad; more internalized emotions. Both are wonderful renditions.
This is indeed sad, haunting even.. and all the more beautiful for it
A bottle of vodka and another cover this song th-cam.com/video/1jyex7Wl7ro/w-d-xo.html
Couldn't have said it better myself!
She's a blues/soul singer so her style tends to bring a more emotional perspective to the music. You should check out her other stuff. She does a great Melissa cover by the Allman Brothers. Even if you're not a fan, it's a great rendition.
To be fair the sad hits home harder.
Morgan nailed it...beautiful voice..beautiful talent..
Stumbled upon this and absolutely love it. I had not heard the original, but after hearing them both, this cover is my favorite. More depth and color.
i am so amazed every time i hear you sing. As if time stood still. Thank you for sharing your work/music with us.
This Lady can sing for sure. Amazing voice!!
Wonderful version of this song! Great guitar by Doug Wamble. More please!
I would only suggest making the instrumental part more pronounced and filling. Morgan's voice fills all the gapes, sure. But there is a tiny step to make it perfect.
I love her. What a voice!! This girl is amazing!
Angels voice! With lots of caracter hard work and great taste !
Love this woman’s voice
One hell of a spin good JOB !!!
"I'm only human"......with the voice of an angel
Your voice, timbre, its strength, magnificent.
Hello from France and thank you for these moments of happiness.
Votre voix, le timbre, sa force, magnifique.
Bonjour de la France et merci pour ces moments de bonheur.
Totally in love with Morgan's voice❤
Yes!! Everything about this song is absolutely wonderful.
Live; this lady is epic beyond spine tingles, goose bumps and soul-stirring voodoo charms.
Oh my God. She is so perfect to be human...
Brilliant performance. MJ gives you shivers with every performance and with that powerful voice. A killer lady on all levels.
Beautiful voice, beautiful woman, beautiful arrangement !
Goosebumps - Bravo
Totally awesome,can listen to your voice all day, beautiful raw talent, let's have lots more from you,
She has an outstanding voice, with a range of 7 octaves. Unheard of. The drawback: her hubby. Note her performances w/o him - astounding!!
Yeah he is a total loser.
all of the "gimmicks" are in her voice and talent!, She is truly amazing!

Dearest Morgan. I love this cover (as usual). Would you consider doing a cover of "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaac? I think you would do a fantastic job.
Thanks!
A R I second that! Nice call 🤙🏽
It's just such a great strong song and she sings it immensely
A wicked game,that would be great
Yeah but she ain't Chris Isaak that's like saying Chris Isaak should do Barbra Streisand? Just saying
You been watching Diana? She is mesmerizing as is Morgan.
Best song written in a couple of decades. Very well sung. She is a real treasure. Wish I could sing!
Шикарно! Брависимо! 👍🔥🙏💐💐💐 Магнетическое исполнение!
Holy Moly ! Combination of type of instrumentation and Super Soulful Emotion really took me right there to that Special Place (electric thru my entire body). Felt the Connection and am thankful !

Guitarist is exceptional as well.
Morgan James’ husband Doug Wamble
Came for the voice, stayed for the guitar. And the voice.
What a stunning girl with a mesmerizing voice, musicians and arrangement are excellent
Gez, that guy can really make that guitar sing. Such a vocal quality to it.
This woman is not human. She is an angel in human form with absolutely flawless beauty!
very, very, very, very, very, good
All of your performances are amazing. Everything suits well they're together a complete whole. You can choose well which songs should have been sung and how. Great work.
what a voice ... very clean, definitely touched me in my soul. Got me thinking about a scoth and a cigar
Human ! no a idealistic, mythical being .... or in other words a monster! Bravo !
Música maravilhosa, voz e beleza encantadoras!! Saudações brasileiras, Morgan...
4 artists, their instruments exquisitely played.
Yesssss! This is the kind of cover I was looking for this song! Amazing voice!
Im in love with the vocals
Nicely done. Good arrangement, definitely owned this, and the location just *fits.*
Totally totally amazing
I got goosebumps right after the first note she sang. LOVE this version of Human. Sub added.
Hermosa versión!
now that's what I call singing.Beautiful emotion.Fab and well done.
I welcome you, Morgan James. Excellent performance ! Greetings from the Caucasus !
How does one break into the field of professionally tapping on boxes in the background of awesome videos? I'm digging this vibe of the guy on the right lol!
Ya start with a pickle barrel , white plastic , resonator adds some shells or bells an some string to react in harmonics.
It's called a "cajón." Reportefly, they were played by stevedores at ports on empty crates of sardines and codfish in Cuba and El Callao in Peru as well as in Spain. You can get incredible sounds out of them.
maravilloso. un cover increible
Those are four talented musicians right there.
The guitarist! Fantasticly done!
I wish vinyl records were still being made with this voice.
Late to the party, but I am glad I have arrived. Powerful vocals blends with the other music perfectly.
Would love to hear this voice in tandem with Puddles.
God bless!
She crushed it... then, she nursed it back to health; then, she crushed it, again...
True
That's what she does best.
as long as u dont blame her
I like it, especially the instrumental arrangement but honestly, it's missing the rag'n'bone soul that builds this song. Clearly, she did it in her style but I like the original style better.
.... and it came back for more.
FANTASTIC! I can not find words. My breath stopped!
