He ain't sweating, his whole body is cryin.
Now my eyes won't stop sweating.
Lmfao this comment is on all his vids. Still funny tho
Couldn’t be said better. Thank you
Coke
Lifes greatest gifts arrive and we can accept or fight it but what ever we do its always Changinnnnnn
I once heard someone say, it's the duty of artists to go into the darkness and bring something back that's tangible for people to heal themselves with. Thank you Charles. Rest in peace.
Mr. Benjamin Tod said that
@@OptimusPrime-wz4vl yes it was ben! how could i forget. one of the best to ever do it
Wow, what a quote.
Jesus, what an incredibly wise quote. I literally wrote it down so I don't forget it and can look at it later. May your Charles rest in peace. Ironically my grandpa who passed a few weeks ago was also named Charles. Charles Melvin Wynn he was 91, I've inherited his harmonica collection. I'm glad he's finally at peace.
@@alexissixela6914says the guy who can't fix his miata
I’m 25 now and Charles was my next door neighbor throughout my entire childhood up until he died. I live in the projects so it’s not the easiest to navigate through life as a young black man in that environment, but Charles always gave me kind words of advice and the occasional spare change to get some snacks in the summer. He always praised me for keeping on the straight and narrow path.
He loved his Parrot, he loved his mother (clearly!) and he loved people. Most of the times I saw him he was on his way to his mothers house to comfort/ care for her. She was all he had, and vice versa. He didn’t have much materially and he was struggling with loneliness towards the end of his own life. I wish I had the awareness 7 years ago to actually speak to and console/comfort Charles in his hard times.
I just want people to see the side of Charles that I got an opportunity to see. The emotion and pain in his voice is real and it’s from his experiences he had to endure in his short, hard life. Im glad I stumbled upon this video, Rest In Peace Charles, you were a great example of a good man and I will always remember you.
What a great post. Tx for sharing, young man.
Thank you for sharing, I come back to this video every couple of months and I cry every time. I honestly don't think that I have seen something more raw than this. You truly feel his pain in his music. What a gift he gave us while he was here. Again, thanks for writing that.
Thanks for sharing!
May ur soul RIP Charles!
This is truly an example of beauty in this tragic life we all share. May you all find peace and love within. ❤
This performance might be the most authentic thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
I do agree, from a grown up...
First Johnny Cash sings Hurt.
Then Charles Bradley sings Changes.
There's something powerfully humbling about old men singing young mens' songs, and putting a lifetime of experience into them.
couldn't have said it better myself
I see what you mean but Charles and Ozzy were born the same year...
@@_TDS_ The song was released 1972
Nailed it
Sabath young. Hahahaha..young music is awful and I bet Ozzy is older then Charles
If you're reading this, I want you to know, you have a great taste in music. I hope you have a great life ahead.
Horacio Stjeward thank you brother
Thanks man . U to
Thank you buddy! You have a great life also, as well as good taste in music.
You're absolutely right. To get here is a journey, all the best ahead to all who read this.
Never thought I'd see someone with my name in these comments. Thank you sir.
The night my mom died I gave her a new blanket, draped it over her. She woke up a little surprised and she said thank you when I explained it. That morning she wasn’t with me. Startling her with a gift the night she died will be the most haunting and bittersweet moment I’ll ever have.
c'mon, man...

@@patpat586dude…
My condolences
My mother is dying of stage 4 lung cancer right now. She has maybe a few days. This helps. Charles Bradley was a true conduit for soul. When people start clapping at the end, he snaps out of it....the spell is broken, he opens his eyes and returns to the "real" world. Anyone who's visited that world, even briefly, is lucky to have experienced something most people will never know.
Hope you are OK my man went through something similar still hasn't really registered but things get better
@@Ryan-mo6mc Thanks dude. She just died this morning.
@@evankolpackRIP brother 🙏🏿
My prayers go out to you
@evankolpack sorry for your loss.
Let's give credit to the random guy playing that beautiful guitar so beautifully
Bob Skadoodle can’t have to many Bens
That may well be TOM BRENNECK, Mr. Bradley's band leader, co-producer & guitarist.
Yeah... Session musicians, arrangers, and producers have names.
Thats Ben on guitar
@@tonyandreasen3847 I was gonna say, "oh you mean ben?"
This song proves what I’ve been saying for years. You can only successfully cover a song if you sing it like it’s yours.
You gotta feel it
ManScoutsofAmerica I like this version Better for sure! Too bad he’s dead now he deserved a longer recognition than he got
What a fantastic and real comment. So true
So true!!! I can feel his heart in it it's beautiful
David Pfeifer that “too bad” comment could be used to describe most of this planet’s greatest artists.
Just found this at 9pm on 9/13/2023. Listened to it 26 times in a row. Music is a beautiful thing. Rip to this beautiful soul. I hope to create a small coffee shop or a venue where I can play music like this all day.
I'm a barista and actually found this version of the song through the coffee shop I work at.
@@leshee3000need more such cafes
Don’t stop working for your dream, you WILL own that coffee shop.
I hope you get your wish. Good luck!
I’d love to come!
I lost my Mama. I can relate. Black is white. Up is down. My life will never be the same. When he calls for his Mom. I felt that. Thanks Charles! Rip
He died a little over 5 months after this. A true legend in music
Don’t wanna be that guy but he died almost exactly a year after this.
His mama called him to be back together. Rest In Peace Legend. ❤️
Shut your mouth! Is that true? Nooooooo😭 that just broke my heart😭. This song is so important to me for the very reason he finally finished it. Black sabbath was her favorite band growing up and I played this for her the day she took her last breath 💔
Was it heart problems? I watched this and how he was sweating buckets and got nervous for him.
@@EmoEmu stomach I heard
He was singing to his mom, not the people in front of him.
💔
I die from this song
This one was and is for my Dad. Kissed him on his cold forehead and watched him be taken away. And nothing has been the same since. Godspeed to all of you that have been blindsided. It's so hard.
Word
Lost my Mother when I was 17 and my Father when I was 19 ... both to cancer ... this man just tapped into my heart
My dad died in my arms on 10/15/23. I'm still going through changes. Thinking of you pop.
Rest in peace ❤
My condolences!
I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much listening to a song… thank you charles for helping me heal. Rest in Paradise ❤️
So true brother 😢
Healing can be a painful process. Pulling for you friend!
I was hoping I wasn't the only one
RIP Charles, hope your enjoying times in heaven with your mama.
Nice
This comment literally made me tear up a bit.
mixmmick Oh honey Charles ain’t dead! That was a terrible made up rumor. You can’t always believe fake news
@@cellblocknine5385 Shush your hole, Boris
@@cellblocknine5385 stop being a dork.
He’s not sweating, he’s secreting liquid soul.
👏
You made my day friend
Bravo sir.
Dude. Nice.
@@TheEndOfABloodline reminds me of James brown never saw the man when he was not sweiting even on talk shows in the 70s before he performed I think some people are so high strung as soon as they think about the show they are over loading on adrienalin explains the sweiting but being able to perform at that level while having all that going on is amazing
I lost my little brother. This version helps me cry. Helps me realize how much I care. I'm here today bc I almost lost my other brother. It hurts, we should never have to talk to the young ones through the dirt.
I know what you mean I lost my older brother
*It hurts, we should never have to talk to the young ones through the dirt.* ~that is why i won't ever stop making my way towards restoration of the human species.
Man to have found this on the 2 year anniversary of my mothers funeral just brought me tears. Such an amazing soulful cover.
Reminds me of my own crap. Im about done wit life. Yall take care. Oh, Good🍀Luck out there.✌️
Strange days....I found too this song 2 years anniversary of my mothers funeral.
Wasn't planning on crying today. But, ya know, here we are.
Word!!! I'm balling 30 seconds in!!!
I'm right there with ya. First heard this on that Netflix show, Big Mouth. Which is a really raunchy cartoon comedy. But this song... it smashes all the comedy out and makes me cry every damn time I hear it. I wonder if Ozzy has heard this. R.I.P. Charles.
I started sobbing as soon as he opened his mouth
My girlfriend died this year and I’m going through something terrible, this song reminds me of so much.
@@TheSchematican stay strong dude or dudette the good time will Come again
Saw Charles live and between songs I shouted "I love you Charles" and he looked right at me and said "I love you too my brother" so genuinely it moved me; after the last song he hopped off stage to hug a girl in a wheelchair and preceded to hug half the people in the crowd...he smelled like coconuts and heaven. RIP Charles you beautiful soul.
psuedospike. Coco butter
Well now I'm upset I found this after this man passed away
He is with his mother once again. R.I.P sir.
Now I'm sad
I envy you. I feel like hugging him too especially when seeing him sing his heart out and sweat a bucket load
Man the way he sings this song is so pure. It says everything about being true to yourself and your art.
My father had a stroke. He was never the the same, and this helped me cope and accept the new reality.
I love you dad
hang tight fam
Best wishes for your father
He died a year after he sang this cover and this was around the time he was diagnosed with stomach cancer. This literally brought tears to my eyes. It's so powerful. RIP Charles Bradley. Your voice was truly annoited and blessed by God.
Wolfie Maus I had planned to see him in Baton Rouge and then learned it was cancelled because of the cancer.
@@dam4274 Man that's sad. Smh.
This was actually one of his last live performances. He had to cancel the rest of his Canadian tour shortly after this performance.
@@letsgobluengold1027 because he got sick?
@@sabrinamitchell4107 yeah. This performance was in Toronto and I guess he did the show at Danforth the next night and one show in NYC a few days later, then took the next seven or eight months off. I think he did maybe a show or two in 2017 but I could be wrong.
It doesn't make any sense, but it feels like he's singing the original Blues version and Black Sabbath covered him
No... That makes sense
He made it truly his own .
I think the same.
DrShitrock I mean Sabath started as a traditional blues band until Tony cut off the tips of his fingers and started down tuning 🤷♂️
Black Sabbath is just so fundamentally bigger than you think.
I lost my mom from brain cancer. This song hits way harder now. 😢😢😢😢
I’m sorry to hear about your loss, Daniel. You and your mother are both incredibly strong people ❤
Cry my bro...cry...you're going through changes.
Can’t believe I’m hearing this for the first time ever. Made a grown man cry like a baby at 11 in the morning. This is one of the most powerful performances ever.
Dang i didnt believe you when i first started listening. But here i am with watery eyes but not in a bad way. Man i want give my mom a hug right now im so grateful i still have her in my life.
All love my man . Glad u got to hear it . All men have to talk at some point .
Nothing but goosebumps and chills
You aint lying brotha✌🏼
I hear that my friend…
Who would dislike, when a man exposes his heart and emotions like this..... cried and still crying.... Charles Bradley Rest in peace
i think maybe sabbath fanatics i dunno
@@mrmasrawy92 maybe,... Honestly the sad part about Charles Bradley he was always compared to the king "James Brown" even though he had his own style of singing and sense of music, and that didn't sit well in me,.... so having some people dislike his own version of the song "changes" tells me how people don't have an ear for classical music.... Charles Bradley legend to the very end of time
Me
Amen brother 😢
Agreed, I was going to say the same.
32 YEAR MARRIED SHE GAVE UO ON M. Charles you helped this man stay up. RIP see you saome day.
This is why I love soul music, music like this just hits you deep into your soul that you can’t help but get emotional along with him. God bless soul music, may it never die.
what makes this hurt even more is that he passed away about one year after this :(
Its ok hes with his mom
@@mr.meowgi9876 oh my goodness....I think it’s the onions I’m cutting! 😞😔😢😥
One of the most underrated vocals in music. X
Im lucky enough to have seen him perform. He shut the whole place down and everyone was watching or listening to him. A true LEGEND.
gleeful there's someone who ascertains the truth
I’m 25. I watched and heard my mother suffer through her fight with diabetes. She lost the fight 10-27-2020. Cherish your mother. Get videos of her voice, her smile, her life. Don’t let life pass you by. It will. I love you mom! 💙
Beautiful.
Sorry for your loss. Im lost my mother too in 2017 and still can’t get over it :/
You are so right sweetie...my mom is gone 16 yrs. You only get one mommy, cherish her!💔
😢😢😢 so sad God bless you
I'm sorry brother, May Almighty Allah bestow his mercy upon her
This man put his entire soul into this song. Rest well sir. Now you and momma are praising God together.
Today is the six year anniversary of my mom passing away. I love you Charles thank you friend.
My mom is currently fighting terminal cancer and after today I kinda just broke down and got on my computer to listen to music. I happened to click on this song and see all these comments and Charles himself talking about his mother. It's so hard but somehow I feel like I was meant to find this song, it was truly touching. Much love to everyone
Love you brother, all the best to you and your mother ❤️❤️❤️
Take care bro, love to you and your Mom. It is well with you ❤
Jesus has His eye on both of you. You'll be ok.
hope your mother gets well, man
I wish you an your mom the best of days my guy.🙏.
My mother passed of pancreatic cancer in 1999 its now 2021 .an im 27.but she never left. She just passed on a different connection that requires your spirit an soul an emotions.. Tho i would walk through hellfire to bring her back.. just don't work that way . i love what she left me. An continues to show me, things i wouldn't have saw or felt on my own. ..much love brother much love
Im a 60 year old Sabbath fan and hearing this for the first time. I've heard this song a thousand times, but never have I heard it like this...The tears are rolling down my cheeks. Jesus, this is powerful.
Life is beautiful big daddy, and so are you
I hope the Sabs got to hear this too
Geezer butler who wrote the lyrics said this is his favourite version
Fyah 🔥 Jim , bless frm NZ Native
Well yeah but..whoah cowboy, it's not the Sistine chapel
As someone who lost their mother at a young age this song activates my tear ducts every time.
Omg, that scream he does always hit me in the feels. That's years of pain and suffering coming from out of him. Well done brother. Well done
I lost my mom yesterday. This song hurts me to the core of my soul.
Good for her, she is at peace once more. Wish her the best.
Sorry to hear this
Breaks my hear to hear this man, hope you're doing well
Rest in peace
keep your head up and stay strong my friend
I've only heard Black Sabbath do this and clicked on it kind of snickering to myself, I got quiet and respectful real quick.
Awesome gifted man.
When he said this the part that gets me. Then sang about his Mom that got me. Respect to the lyrics and made sure to feel it to the core.
👌🙏😇😍❤️🤯
I had a quick myself....stupid me...this is great!!!!!!$
FACT!
This was not a song that went with a lot of the band’s catalog... much like midnight caravan so I thought whoa! But yeah I’m right there with you sir! ✌🏻
This song hits so hard during a divorce. I consider myself a widow because my husband didn't actually die but lost himself to meth. I look back constantly and ask myself if there was anything I could have personally don't to keep it from happening. People love to say "it's not your fault" but when you're someone's rock and whole life for a decade, it almost seems illogical not to blame yourself. I feel like I can still his last goodbye and I look at pictures of him before the drugs and I cry because I've seen people come back, but I don't believe he ever will. So I feel widowed and this song hits me so hard especially hearing his pain when he sings it. I wish love and peace to anyone dealing with losing loved ones to hard drugs and I wish healing and return to individuals losing themselves to hard drugs. In the end I had to protect myself and my children.. anyway, this song hits so hand. When he sings "it took me so long to realize I could still hear her last goodbye" it brings up a moment for me that crushes my heart every time. Beautiful song
Lost my grandma a month ago and even tho I knew it was coming it hurt. I didn’t cry when we laid her to rest, I just grabbed the dirt and closed my eyes and heard the sound of it hitting the box. I thought no more pain grandma, I love you and thank you for everything. I know I’ll see her again when my time comes, but dammit hearing this again I lost it. Holding my phone typing this is hard, having to go back and fix my misspelled words. Love you grandma
"Oh Duke, that's a sad song"
"Well, love is a sad business, Connie"
"And profitable!"
Andres for the win.
You got a Big Mouth.....
I'm very excited there are a few people who notice what's what
Can someone explain this to my ignorant eyes?
Ozzy said Charles' version blew him away and that he took the song to a new level. That man bore his soul on this song and leave it to anonymous people on the web to dislike it.
They don’t know good music. Probably don’t even know the song. But it’s us who know what music sounds like too love it.
Damn, that's some toxic pessimist sh*t. Part of being an artist is some people won't like your work. If you don't piss some people off, your not an interesting artist. Did you fail to notice how many more likes than dislikes their is?
Where did he say that? Trying to find it
I was talking about the second part of the comment," leave it to anonymous people on the internet to dislike it."
I totally agree with the first part.
Ozzy is so real!! He recognizes and appreciates talent. He’s so much more than he projects to the public!!
Wow, wow, wow. No matter how many times I hear it. It moves me when he is moved by the lyrics and it instantly sounds it.. Much Love and Respect. Thankfully this is now immortal..
I believe Ozzy would definitely approve of this cover
100% 🤘❤🤘
@@dustyharris1061 I believe that is what he is saying
@@dustyharris1061 that's how he talks dude. Notice he said "ax" instead of ask.
Those kind of things bother me too, but this cover is just so amazing I can't knock it.
@@dustyharris1061 To be fair, Ozzy doesn't know the lyrics anymore either. I am fully convinced that his singing is muscle memory rather than actually remembering. :P
@@UserJWR to that extent I have to agree.
Shout out to that absolute guitar player. Guy is shifting between base line riffs and strumming chords on the fly based on the mood of individual verses.
He’s riding Charles’ vocals so perfect and still sneaking those riffs in. Seriously. This dude is a professional.
Although it was a vocal performance that would have carried emotion acapella Ben on guitar really did take the whole thing to another level and added to the emotion perfectly.
Beast
yea right guy was killing it as well. What was that little backhanded compliment at the end lol "can never have too many bens in the room"? what is that supposed to mean haha
@@bryancarpio7030 that's what guitar mastery really is imo. Not shredding this is legit
The first time I heard this my mother was alive. Tonight I listened to it for the first time since my mother passed away. Now I understand Charlie 🥹
Early metal was very much influenced by blues, so a bit of a "full circle".
Lavrentivs this is important
Black Sabbath was but a blues influenced hard rock band. Listen to the riffs and Iommi's solos.
Lavrentivs that’s beautiful and so true.
Listen to their earlier incarnation as Earth, they started w/ Blues-Rock ...
Great point!
Those James Brown-style screams have so much meaning in this context. It’s the sound of a man screaming out in pain. Very powerful performance.
Absolutely!
well said
It’s so raw. It’s perfect
@@georgie8609 Pics or it didn’t happen.
Used to be a James brown impersonator until he finally got discovered. Only saw success for a minute. Boy, do I miss this man.
I lost my Moma 2years ago. I was there when she died. I feel this song through my heart soul and your version should have been the first. I'm right there with you. It never goes away.
Wow. Charles. A protest against the heavens they gotta hear you. Rest in Peace.
Man, iv been playing this song most days and still never ever tire of it. I was driving my son to an after school event a few weeks back and he asked me
“Dad, why does he scream RAAAA like that?” So I explained to him that this man is singing with all his heart and he’s so sad because he just loved his mum so much and when she sadly died it broke his heart. So his scream is just the sad emotion he’s feeling, just escaping his soul. My son (who’s 5) didn’t reply he just listened and at the end of the song he told me from the back of the car that “it makes his eyes wet”
Man oh man that boy of mine had a full on tear ready to drop and I couldn’t be happier. It’s now our song we listen to while driving and he still just listens. RIP Charles and I can’t thank you enough
Thanks for that..!
Damn man, I was already wiping tears off my cheek and this just kept em going. What a beautiful moment shared with your emotional genius of a young son.
Beautiful story. ❤️ god bless
Reading your comment made my eyes wet :) That's beautiful.
@@preexisting154 he’s been like this all his life so far. When he was a newborn Imagine by John Lennon was the only song that stopped him in in tracks. Especially when he was upset with wind.
Another song that he stops what he’s doing and just listens to is Holocene by Bon Iver.
When Charles finished singing, he didn't want applause, he just wanted his mom back.
..think most would make that trade.👏
Amen...found this song after my mom died...I feel this....
@@blubird951 I am sorry for your loss.
my mom died of cancer 12/9/19...heard this song done by bradley not long after, and it hurts so bad
karvin DALLAS
I lost my bro , 10 years ago. Time doesn’t heal , but it helps you deal with the pain. Bless up .
In this performance, he gave a masterclass showing us why it’s called SOUL music. You could understand what kind of human being he was just by the way he expresses himself on stage. You could feel his honesty, his sincerity, humility, sensitivity, kindness, compassion, as well as his loneliness, sorrows, and immense pain. Just in this one song, he teaches us what it means to be human, by taking the mic and laying his entire soul absolutely bare, scars and all, so that we may find healing or consolation within his music.
I think this is something all musicians should strive to achieve when writing new songs, or when performing on stage.
To do it with all their love behind it, in hopes to uplift or move someone.
Never thought I’d be in tears cause of a Black Sabbath song, but here we are. Sharing the years and each day
I'm a metalhead to my core and this cover brought me to tears. I share his pain. I lost my grandma, grandpa, and aunt. It never stops hurting. But because of this song there is beauty in pain. \m/
This comment😭💕
It's a good cry, though. Sending love your way
Check out the Overkill version.
daniel alaniz amen brother lost my grandma a few days after thanksgiving this past year she was my best friend evertime i hear this somg makes me cry
The performance made this metalhead shed more then one tear.
RIP Charles, sad I couldn't see you live. Maybe one day, another world.
I've been feeling this way for a long time now, living everyday of my life like it was the last day. That has caused many problems in my life with my family and mainly especially with my mama. And I love her very much, she's my rock. Love you Mama!!!!! 💖
I dedicate this song to my mom who died 12/19/19 from suicide. You’re not in pain anymore mom, I love you.
Lost my dad the same way last year. Yes the pain is over for them😔
R.I.P for both of this amazing people that we have the grace to share this land with!
Don't forget them never! That's way they will never die!
Be strong guys!

Wow I cannot even imagine. Everyone says its such a selfish thing to do, how can you do that to your family. But maybe we are just being selfish for not understanding their pain. I'm so sorry to hear that.
@@nickbouillon3454 Wow also very sorry for your loss! I hope I can never say I know how you feel.
This was one of my wife’s favorite songs… she would play it all the time because it reminded her of her grandmother that passed and she would cry everytime…

I read your post, you are not alone. Hope you find some comfort. Be safe. Be well.
Hang in there.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how much pain you're in. I know it doesn't really go away. It changes your life forever. I hope you have people around you who can hold space for you and sit with you in it.
Bless your hearts
Attended one of his shows years ago, spoke with him outside afterwards at a food cart on the street, after telling how emotional and beautiful I found his performance he gave me a hug... Small and forgettable moment in his life, but I'll never forget that show or that moment, when he sung he did so with all of his soul.. The word 'powerful' loses luster next to this Giant among mortals
Damn this came out 7 years ago! I love cross genre covers like this, shows you how universal music is.
Hey Mr. Bradley,
Please sing this to my mom in heaven. Tell her I miss her.
He will.

God bless you Julio. Your mum will know you miss her, as Angels know our thoughts. 🙏

Damn thats sucks... This guy had talent!!

Can we agree that he was experiencing success every time he sang, no matter how many people heard him?

The moment he said "Mama" I had a combination of tears and chills. What emotion. RIP Mr Bradley, thank you for sharing this gift with us.
You can really feel his pain . RIP to the both of them ❤️
God does it hurt so bad Rip mom and so many other's love ones I lost 💔
Same here I cry for my mom every time I hear this
Heard him say it right as I read your comment. Crazy
Jesus christ, this cover hits like a brick. His voice is amazing.
Real talk
Amen
He even screams so perfectly 😍
can't hear this version without crying. It's awsome
Found this song through a friend whilst my mum was going through cancer and they didn’t want to play it for me and was going to skip it, I to.d them no , let it play though! , broke my heart as still was waiting for mum to beat it , I still play it to this day and so far my mum has beaten cancer over 6 years strong since watching this and hopefully many more years to come ❤
I lost my mom in 2008.
I didn't cry once.
I was raised by men of men who don't cry, served my country, and it's hard to spill your guts, much less shed a tear, even if you want to.
I sobbed the first time I watched this in 2022.
Thank you for your service, sorry to hear about your mom brother 🫡
@@granayo420 thanks
It's never easy to lose your mom I lost mine at age 23. I'm 32 now and think about her every single day. I wouldn't be the man I am today without her.
Better man than most of us, thank you for your service and bearing your soul to us. May you have peace. If I bought you a beer I would still be indebt to you.
Don't worry brother I cry too...
None of my friends would like this, but all of you listening, never feel alone. There are people out there like you, with awesome taste in music.
I heard it on Big Mouth, and I like it alot both this version and the Black Sabbath version
Maybe your friends don’t know genuine voices. But that’s ok. When he said this the part that gets me and spoke on his Mom - nothing else mattered. Great lyrics
I love you
There's a lot of lames out there. Just be thankful you have good taste
So many of my friends have pleasantly surprised me with their interest in my taste of music. I hope you let it play someday and you find some likeminds in your group.
The levels of influence and music history on display here is insane.
Black Sabbath is sacred heavy metal... Charles made a masterpiece cover... RIP
This performance is brutal. Sensitive, intense, honest, beautiful. If there is life after death I hope Charles has gotten to see what gorgeous memory he left for all of us to hear
Perfectly said
I just hope he got to see his mom again.
…while hanging out with his mama! 🥰🥰🥰
……and James, and Otis!
Never mind that, I hope he got to see his mum
I didn't need to cry like this at 9am.
wow
Same... God damn
At 8 am for me
How is there always a comment
make it 6 am
I always come back to this when I'm going through my own changes. RIP Charles, thank you.
I still listen to this song to this day, and it still hits harder , it really helped me come to realize I'm not gonna he here forever, but you go to cherish what you have, I lost my dad 2021 and my beat friend this last year 💔 Thank you for still having this on your channel, it helps a lot
.
That's tough bro, hope you're doing well.
after the song finished. I pulled out my Cell and called home. Oh man, the sound of moms voice. Thank you Charles for your suffering caused me to appreciate what I still have.
💙🙏💙🙏💙
Enjoy it brother and appreciate her. My mother passed in 2018 and I dust off my old iPhone to listen to old voice-mails she left me. Not a single day goes by I don't think about her.
@@josbodereel No idea what I'll do with myself when this inevitable day comes, I can't even imagine.
@@ARUCARDFTEPES you never can I’m 19 and it’s been a month and a day since my momma left this world and nothing can prepare you for this pain and helplessness or dread of a future without them just know it gets better one day at a time
Damn, that was hard.
Jesus christ, this man's soul is 100ft tall and obeys no walls
you're a true wise man
Perfect description
Plague Doctor beautiful statement. So true!
"This man's soul is 100ft tall and obeys no walls."
That is beautiful.
Hit the nail on the head
Watched my mother pass away from a stroke. This version helps deal with the emotions
Thank you for this blessing of a song Charles you were amazing sir 🙏
Of all artist's who died before they could be discovered by the world, this one hurts the most.
The masses never appreciate a true artist.
That scream is from his soul, that's pain you're hearing.
William Perry 🙌🙏💜
Facts!!!!
A message that goes a long way.
how would you know
@@williambison9772 i hate pretencious comments like his stating the obvious for attention lol
My brother has some pipes, talent, and stories! What an encouraging sign that he's sharing them!
You too can!
The first time I watched this a few years back I never thought I'd know what he went through watching his mother take her last breathes.
That was until on march 25th when I sat there and watched my mom take hers. I walked out of that hospital a different person than I walked in. I felt so powerless to do anything to help her. I stepped back and let everyone else say their goodbyes. she fell asleep before I could say mine.
I've been sober from meth for over 5 years and stagnation cause me to lean on other shortcoming copings. I am now going through new changes to be a father that my father never was, this song emulates the pains of my childhood I must endure through to grow for my boy. Thank You Charles
Hello, i'm just a random person who want to give you support for making new better live..
always stay away from drugs and alcohol, love yourself, love your children and their mom.. do your best being father n husband, make them proud of you..
You’ve got this David
Stay strong My Dude.
I don't know you ... but I am very proud of you . Five years can feel like an eternity . One foot in front of the other . Your son is very , very lucky to have you as a role model .
Brah the flavor of ice cream you are tasting is not strawberry, but it all taste better with an excellent father
knowing he's with his momma brings me so much peace. He deserved the world.
seems like god was in need of a soul singer, so he took the best one we had.
The world didn't deserve him.
Wait! He’s dead? I didn’t know.😢
@@trendybistro 🤓
@@trendybistro he's immortal. We'll always have his music.
I think i comment everytime i listen what a camaraderie ever present music taps us into
He shared a part of his soul in that song and performance, truly amazing
As a Black Sabbath fan, I wholeheartedly approve of this cover. Breathtaking.
Josh Richard. You guys fuked me up it hurts so bad rip bradley great sabbath song
Gotta love how the guitar brings a "solitude" vibe to the song
Alejandro Montero ohh yeahh
Oh yes we need your approval... GTFOOH seriously
Overreact much? I'm just offering my opinion as a fan of the original source material. Chill out.
If a voice could shed tears, this is how they'd feel.
If tears could sing, this is how they'd sound.
@@gst013 indeed
TO know that I get to hear this man in heaven praise the Lord is gonna make me literally go crazy
The most powerful and emotional 5 mins of vocal you will ever hear. RIP Charles.
I can respect his pain over his mother. I just lost my mother during these crazy times to cancer, and because I couldn’t visit her in hospice, I never really had the chance to say goodbye.
Sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️
She knows brother, she knows
I'm sorry for your loss, and I wish you could have had the chance to say goodbye.
Sorry for you’re loss
This is one of the greatest covers of a song ever. I love how he saw the beauty in music that was foreign to him and made it his own.
I am not very impressed. It doesn't feel geuine at all. It seems he just picked a song that would work with the audience.
@@unwnme or maybe -- crazy thought here -- the song is a good song and he liked it
@@unwnme to each their own.
I'm afraid to ask what trash yoy listen to and are de facto gatekeeping..
I felt his loss
@@unwnme awww man u have no taste lol
I'm so grateful I got to seem him live in 2015. He was incredible, powerful and so real. R.I.P. brother.
I so miss hearing this kind of sound that is so rare and not everyone can deliver like this guy can..use to hear it alot in 60s n early 70s but not anymore..such great sound and soul..wow..
I was born as a pair of ears for the universe to listen to music like this
