As much as I believe Jordan Rakei deserves much more recognition than he receives, a large part of me wants him to remain low-key so that he can continue to make music that he passionately loves. A main-stream Rakei seems weird to me, and if he lost any authenticity, I would be heartbroken.

[@unlxveable1718]

Stoof fany same!!!!!!

[@honeybonnney]

I feel the same.!! but also.. James Blake pretty much managed to keep his authenticity after all of his collabs with Bey, Kendrick, etc i think its possible

[@peppilouis]

Beautiful Jordan Its very special Xxxx

[@AZIZ18691]

I totally agree.

[@CRASS2047]

These days labels have far less power due to so many artists being independent . So artists have far more say in creative control, as long as they are steadfast in their will to maintain integrity . But I agree, it would be sad.

[@charlottetobias6812]

credit to the background singers... ugh...can we names?

[@janinamirkovic]

Naomi Scarlett, Dionne Reid and Baely. Better late then never.

[@DawnMcGhee_Official]

I love the purity of this video. I think this was masterfully captured. Jordan's voice is pure and sensual over the guitar. This version is better than the original. It has heart, feeling, movement and is not rushed. The background vocalists are in sync with the song and its sonically smashing.

[@escobarines]

Dawn McGhee You have a way with words, what a wonderful comment. It honors the song! 💙 I love it when somebody else manages to put my thoughts into words this beautifully.

[@DawnMcGhee_Official]

Thank you.... Jordan Rakei will always get the truth from me....

*Listen to 'Peacock Affect - Who Cares If You Exist'*

[@BenjaminHaycock]

Jordan as transcendent as ever. The cinematography is awesome as per, would love to be on the Mahogany sessions one day!

[@Nannoir]

This is poetry in motion. Those harmonies are so beautiful and haunting at the same time. Channelling that Fink ostinato

[@traciehoward6681]

He never disappoints!

[@nicknguyen9767]

the key change at 3:06 was so amazingly subtle

[@vielajoa]

[Verse 1] Once I borrowed the canvas to my lover's heart But the stone was too full, and that envelope had a letter In that scarcely room Back in silence is when it all began falling apart I was always a clumsy speaker, and we couldn't find one another In that scarcely room Mark my words, I say I'm guilty of no poetry I was working, I confess, I see the courage in her eyes In that scarcely room There were words of disagreement But we talked to find the answers, in a mutual disposition In that scarcely room [Chorus] How can I find a reason to love you, when I don't love myself How can I find a reason to love you, when I don't love myself, self How can I find a reason to love you, when I don't love myself How can I find a reason to love you, when I don't love myself, self [Verse 2] Shout at me and mirror traits of insecurity See the man had stole her fire, so was her who put the flame out In that scarcely room Courted dress for the occasion, yet not filled with glee His hands reaching for the curtain, she was quick to put the light out In that scarcely room [Chorus] How can I find a reason to love you, when I don't love myself How can I find a reason to love you, when I don't love myself, self How can I find a reason to love you, when I don't love myself How can I find a reason to love you, when I don't love myself, self How can I find a reason to love you, when I don't love myself How can I find a reason to love you, when I don't love myself, self

[@Holly18th]

this cinematography!!

[@PalesaSekhoetsane]

If anyone sees him tell him I asked him to marry me

[@LuNa-kh9xr]

Waw WHO film this ? the accoustic and the shooting are awesome as the performance ... quietly elegant, softly rhythmic and amazing dancing camera !

[@Mrneal0216]

To the 29 people who disliked this.. Your taste in music is disgusting!!!

[@dangkids4586]

Why is there no guitar tutorial for this masterpiece?!

[@AZIZ18691]

Jordan tends to make me cry. His voice and his lyrics so pure so honest expressed in sheer brilliance and eloquence...💎💎💎💎

[@RichardReadey]

Yes Jordan! This is beautifully filmed as well!

[@sebastianabella5126]

This is an amazing video, who directed it? Props to Jordan as always, amazing!

[@Soul_Latina]

#1. I hit that like before listening #2. These background singers tho 🙌🏽. The sound of Angels

[@hurricaneolga]

A voice filled with mana and beauty. Filmed so delicately to match the timbre of the words. Nice one Jordan.

[@olybirdmusic]

Humble and powerful. Thanks for this amazing discovery Mahogany! ♥

[@Faultress]

Wish you’d credit the incredible talented backing vocalists. They contribute so so much to the beauty of this piece.

[@ThatsAggravating]

Killer, love it dude. Guitar work is reminiscent of Dallas greens style

[@bairdey1140]

If this song is any indication, I will scarcely be able to wait for Wallflower's release.

[@whispywillow1]

Discovered this channel today looking for Matthew and the Atlas and I'm absolutely LOVING it. Beautiful videos and I'm being introduced to so many different, amazingly talented artists! Cracking stuff, well done 👍🏽

[@sierraloza8730]

[@littlet108]

Just listened to this guy on COLORS and this is the first video of his im watching because i had to dig deeper into this guys stuff. This video was posted on my bday...if thats not fate idk what is.

[@traciehoward6681]

The angst in his voice makes me want whatever he's dishing out!

[@lovrboy670]

Literally one of the best gems in the last 2 years I have found he is so good in making you engaged and enthralled by what's going on

[@AZIZ18691]

Oh he can sing for me any time. That subtle angst in his voice...yummy. 🥰🥰💕💕🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@laboule83]

It has a lot of similarities with justin nozuka early's work, nice vibe !

[@galagalacticga]

Wonderful song! The set reminds me of Edward hopper's Nighthawks.

[@sara78889]

My favorite song right now 💕

[@roxy1522]

IM GONNA BURST INTO TEARSSSS THAT VOICEEEEE!!!!!!!!

[@roxy1522]

[@dangkids4586]

[@Drummersatx]

What an interpretation...sounds warm and dark.

[@northinstead]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ everything about this is beautiful ..

[@mashningshen5284]

0:38 anyone noticed that glitchy walk of the person coming out from the dark on the left?

[@naomirhoja6539]

Why didn’t I know about this sooner?!

[@internetathi]

This is spiritual.

[@kagisoubane4078]

Modimo wa tshwaro...period

[@nelsonsmith8287]

I went by the drug store to see what I could see. The drug store was full, sadnes right before my eyes. The drug stalls are waiting for healing, healing of self. Belief is what is needed to purify. Purity you can't buy. The drugs stores are fall of people whom are all by themselves. Take a hand, ther e temperature is rising, raise there hand, hold what you feel in front of you. What life do you hold, blanket, covers you. Sleep well Ps this should be good night. X

[@sagenosnibor9173]

This man's voice always puts me at ease ❤

[@lachlansimpson1670]

I love this song so much, it's so beautiful and really helps me understand my place in life and shows me that we're all alike in a way. The most beautiful music in my eyes is music that's honest.

[@gilbertofinolmusic]

so good!

[@imani828]

I hope you enjoy, Chia :)
