John Legend - Ordinary People (Live on Letterman)

[@macssushiyorkuniversity3392]

this song could be played in another 10 years and still be an anthem. this isn't a breakup song or just another love song. john's not professing that he's head over heals in 'new' love, however, he knows the value of his 'existing' love and wants to invest in it even though there are some hardships. this is a thinking person's love song. great lyrics do not come easy; it's even harder to pull the heartstrings of the masses. john hit every note!

its will.i.am's song

[@MrRuperty]

blablabla und leck mich am ... !!!!

[@mattbarden]

No, will.i.am wrote this. John Legend sang it beautifully, but he didnt write it

[@LeiB]

Although John created the beautiful melody behind william's lyric. Perfect dúo for perfect song❤️

[@Krieky]

Sometimes all you need is the singer and his piano, and an intimate audience who can whisper the song along with him.

This is a real love song. It conveys the struggles, misrskes, hurdles and pitfalls in love. And the willingness to press through it all.

Thanks so much for this one John

[@Letskeepitclassy-t1k]

WOW! I JUST LOVE HOW MUSIC BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER. BLACK, WHITE, YELLOW, AND BROWN. MUSIC SOOTHES THE SAVAGE BEAST!!!!

[@kerrgal]

One of the most beautiful songs, ever written.

[@swoolsey6561]

@kerrgal AGREE 100%

[@raphaelbonillo2192]

Yes! Agree!

[@rogerzebrowski9426]

John is hands down one of my favorite male vocalists, what an amazing talent!! This is his Quintessential song in my opinion, as well as my favorite by him!

[@jonloftness5210]

John Legend is an amazing talent. He's an amazing piano player, but his vocals are out of this world. He never, ever is flat or sharp. How is that possible? God blessed us with Mr. Legend.

[@mikedwyer2925]

We all can relate to this song if you have a heart! Hits home every time!

[@christophercase921]

This live performance is legendary. He is absolutely incredible. What a voice!

[@nickharley2344]

4:07 was the most beautiful note I've ever heard

[@JavierSerraltaSanMartin]

+Nick Harley yes it is...same for me...and at 4:58 the phrase is so powerful...love it

[@j.pejoro4909]

A well deserved STANDING OVATION! BRAVO!!!

[@nathanwright4334]

2 words... Golden Voice. A song that future generations will be able to play over and over again. A song that will never get over played. Possible the best vocal and pitch singer ever.

[@Thekidisalright]

“We are ordinary people, we don’t know which way to go.” The lyrics somehow works perfectly with what’s happening around the world we live in now.

[@artisticskillz01]

One of the greatest songs written in the 21st century

John Legend lives up to his name! He is one of the very few of this era that people will remember and listen to in 20 years. Him, Rihanna, Adele and maybe a few others... Certainly only a few.

[@wickedwit20]

I listened to this 8yrs ago.. and I'm still listening right now and it hits differently, amazing.

[@stareeagle]

One of the few musicians that can perform live really well.

[@officialzizimusic]

I remember watching this live but now it hits different and I didn’t realize how old it is!

[@carlaaristy4774]

no doubt John Legend's music will never die!!! love this man

[@johnlegend7441]

Thanks for your love and support all through this time ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@wendigoo1006]

yup

[@christianeymery5495]

John Legend is one of the best live performers. His live renditions are way better than the studio versions which are already mind blowing. What a great artist! ❤️

[@to94ri57]

I heard this song when I was younger and it didn't mean anything. Now I've been through a relationship and I find it absolutely beautiful.

[@roxmejox]

I get goosebumps whenever I hear this song & seeing it live was an absolute delight. Love you, John! xo

[@NoSenseOfReality]

John Legend is the only singer I know who sounds better live. He is faultless. What a prodigy.

[@trinitavargas7404]

Most honest song about love ever written.

John Legends Voice is like chocolate! Dark, Smooth, and oh so good. What a Good Song!

[@Javier1638]

Every now and then an artist like John comes along, and you remember why music plays such an important role on your life.....brilliant!

[@jashaluja]

This music is powerful. All present in the room indulged in an intimate moment. One person became many. Many voices became one. What a beautiful gift to share

[@justabaker5609]

Love his piano playing in this.

[@christiantasidaily]

he performs so well live !! just sounds like its recorded :O so good :)

[@mervh58]

its better than the recorded version to me, his voice doesnt need the studio production that it inevitably gets, his recordings would have been sensational 40 odd years ago and he would really have stood out in the crowd

[@jeffsmit8376]

mervh58 njjii

[@mr.marino9247]

3:01 he slips over a note. That makes it more authentical, and no doubt for those what maybe say that is a playback.

[@christiantasidaily]

This is so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. You have to listen to the very end.

[@adamwhite1556]

I'm so glad there is still musicians like this around it shows talent is still there in the music industry

❤️ Lyrics - Ordinary People ❤️ Girl, I'm in love with you This ain't the honeymoon Past the infatuation phase Right in the thick of love At times we get sick of love It seems like we argue everyday I know I misbehave And you made your mistakes And we both still got room left to grow And though love sometimes hurts I still put you first And we'll make this thing work But I think we should take it slow We're just ordinary people We don't know which way to go Cuz we're ordinary people Maybe we should take it slow (take it slow, oh oh ohh) This time, we'll take it slow (take it slow, oh oh ohh) This time, we'll take it slow This ain't a movie, no No fairy tale conclusion ya'll It gets more confusing everyday Sometimes it's heaven sent We head back to hell again We kiss and we make up on the way I hang up you call We rise and we fall And we feel like just walking away But as our love advances We take second chances Though it's not a fantasy I still want you to stay We're just ordinary people We don't know which way to go Cuz we're ordinary people Maybe we should take it slow (take it slow, oh oh ohh) This time, we'll take it slow (take it slow, oh oh ohh) This time, we'll take it slow Take it slow Maybe we'll live and learn Maybe we'll crash and burn Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave, Maybe you'll return Maybe you'll never find Maybe we won't survive But maybe we'll grow We never know, baby, you and I We're just ordinary people We don't know which way to go (hey) Cuz we're ordinary people Maybe we should take it slow (heyyy) We're just ordinary people We don't know which way to go 'Cuz we're ordinary people Maybe we should take it slow (take it slow, oh oh ohh) This time, we'll take it slow (take it slow, oh oh ohh) This time, we'll take it slow Take it sloww Take it slow This time, we'll take it slow Take ✨Thanks John. You are and will be a LEGEND for us.✨

The lady at 2:24 is the reason we need audience managers. Why is she up? Now people at the back cannot enjoy the show coz she is blocking their view. The song is not even up tempo. It's the kind of song that's best enjoyed while sitting down.

[@Kindred6007]

Darn well. The music, the souls and the heart are all connected. Hats off man

[@deborahelhalwany2407]

I’ve always liked this Song , funny my son introduced it to me, but I never knew the words just Listened and for the first I’m looking and reflecting on them. Wow this is for everyone that has a relation or relationship with someone , I saw myself saying we do need each other and we need to help each be our best self . I’m saying time is pressure but let’s make the best of it tell someone you love them , breath and start caring a little more , patience is key , And I’m not saying let someone take advantage of you but do what you can to share some joy when necessary. 😎

[@bkhattaway]

A true musician and poet. As I age, I always thought my generations and past generations owned the rights to pure and true music/ poetry. John Legend made me sit my ass down.
