I was adopted when I was 3. Had a lot a struggles accepting love and understanding myself. I lost my parents in 2016 and 2017, 9 months apart both were sudden and unexpected. I hated myself for a while for not letting them be the parents they wanted to be because I fought them every step of the way. Im learning to forgive myself. because God said their mission was over. They did what they came to do. And that was raise me. It took their passing for me to get my act together but I’m forever grateful for all the lessons and love they instilled in me. I miss them everyday and I cry for them every night 😔 It gets super lonely and I get lost but I know they’re watching over me

[@markdeneven1645]

trust me they knew your love - did they give up on you? - no - theres your proof

[@misspaula213]

"I heard the sound of your voice in music, so I speak with you everyday." how do you even create a beautiful waterfall of lyrics like that

[@jadeb2690]

Paula Choi a "waterfall of lyrics"... That is very nicely put. 😊👌🏽

[@gibskimbler2441]

It's so deep and so true

[@terraalbritton6405]

"Beautiful waterfall of lyrics" Wow. That was lovely!

[@jameswhiteczar1285]

In my playlist and has to be played at least 3 times before another song can play incredible voice n message💯✊🏿😎

[@GeorgeBates-uk]

I don't have the words to describe that falsetto

[@tatdaddy22]

Never delete this. This is the closest version to the original you can find that's not remastered. I wish he would re release all the originals

[@norangnzg]

Why did the acoustic version get removed from spotify? It was my favorite version of the song! It should be put back up! Other acoustic versions are there.. sad fan!

[@JustinDonovanDuncan]

This is some India Arie type vibe. Shoo

[@emkayMJ18]

Gente alguém faz legenda dessa musica por favor

[@leisaamor1398]

I wish I found this ages ago

[@isotrish]

[@MrMaheKiki]

+Trish Roque (Roquesque) For me it sounds like : D#m / F / F# / B / A# and G#m / A# / D#m / C# if it dont work try a semitone up

[@garfocarro]

in case you haven't found it after 2 years, there is a good tab on ultimate guitar for this song

[@joecampbell2539]

From GJC not JC.🤗

[@Izzyarden]

[@ajakennedy6072]

Bruh. That raspy timbre + vibrato? I'm done. I'm leaving. Can't handle it. Bye. Uggghhh, so beautiful. Please don't let anyone produce/master the texture out of your voice on these studio recordings.

[@KerouacsAccomplice]

They already have sadly.. A lot of his albums are commercilaised in exactly the way you describe :-(

[@VaranusVideos]

Its sad that the music industry will never recognize a gem like this man (and many others) and its obvious he recognizes that and will not conform, much respect and thank you for the beautiful music you give us.

[@dillonmartin4388]

+VaranusVideos he will get famous just like Amos Lee and Ray Lamantagne

[@AshPear91]

+VaranusVideos I know your comment is 4 months old, but you may be glad to hear he's recorded an album, finished a tour with RHODES and is currently supporting Ella Henderson. Let's hope he get's some recognition that he clearly deserves!

[@ceylanakcicek7768]

We were raised under Grey skies, But you'll never hear us complain Oh, and father led with examples Of how to draw beauty from pain So I found a thousand spring-times in her eyes And I learned to play games in the rain Oh, when you left us you didn't really go I know you're watching me from my head to my toes And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no And truth be told, everybody knows you You put the food on my plate and you gave me my clothes And I will not go without, I won't walk without you, no I found the touch of your hand in the breeze And the light of your smile in sun rays You should know I hear the sound of your voice in music So I speak with you everyday We have overcome, 'cause of what you've done And it's plain to see that you're here with me

[@thestoryiseek]

I think I've listened to this about 50 times in the past few days. So talented. The lyrics are so simple, poetic, and relevant all at the same time. Beautiful.

[@PKSiggy24wc]

Why am I just now hearing about JP Cooper

[@ChristianTierney]

I don't know but thank god you did!

[@gersonlopez1394]

i could listen to him sing for eternity and never get bored

[@chovanhoeba7218]

Amen!!

[@rva]

absolutely beautiful

[@shalashaska_3096]

Man... I felt that shit... I felt every bit of that tune all the way to my bones. It's not often that i come across an artist that can grab you with a song as much as this one has. That was some heavy shit, Cooper... keep it up.

[@JozeyRa]

felt this comment✌

[@coakdawg22]

Listen to Gregory Alan Isakov's "The Stable Song". Equally powerful in voice, soul and lyrics.

[@shalashaska_3096]

coakdawg22 ● If friendship was based solely on musical taste, friend, well I believe we'd get nicely. That song is incredible and the Cardinal Sessions version is captivating, man... I appreciate the introduction.

[@shawnkimble4756]

RIP momma. 7/3/65_12/22/2020 I love you momma you will be missed. This is my song to you. Sleep easy ma dukes

[@Jo-hg6tl]

I don't want this song to end .. I could listen to this for hours And the lyrics means so much more when you think about Jesus

[@tambriajones5946]

Yessss 😍😍😍

[@gibskimbler2441]

Nothing to do with religion look up the definition of the video keep your religion out of this especially Jesus he has literally nothing to do with this

[@justcallmetyty]

Keep it up JP! I listen to you every day. I have epilepsy and I listen to you more after I seize because your voice calms me. We need more real musicians like you ❤

[@anthonyrivera4496]

He is not as famous as he is talented. Worth so much more than just a few thousand views

[@joshuajoyco1945]

even though the way he sings is just simple, his vocals is enough for me to be amazed. you sing so good.

[@poochicuddle]

[@tsatsaa1123]

i love JP Cooper. his voice is so beautiful.

[@Popcorn1ification]

Losing a parent is tough, usually not thought about until it happens. It happens then, reflection and pain and smiles and tears.Thank you for this song. Cheers to all!

[@gibskimbler2441]

It is i cry every time because it's so accurate about the father roll and how heavy the loss is but the fact that you carry a piece of them with you no matter what and that I will not walk without you

[@rendilegethe9435]

When the music breaks your heart... you know it's real

[@martinamakre2137]

Jp cooper is my favourite artist! I would fly sydney to manchester to see this incredible talent! if your music has the ability to touch someones heart you have achieved more than any million dollar recording artist!

Praise the Lord for leading me to you. My Soul is jumping with joy. God Bless you and your famz.

[@melindyD]

I'm hooked to JP Cooper's great melodies. Simply breathtaking.

[@trinalefebvre8325]

It's a shame to think that artists whom don't have passion or heart and emotion in there music will go trending and then people like JP Cooper, who writes beautiful music and sings just as beautifully will go under the radar unnoticed. He deserves to be heard, and I am thankful that I've found such a talented artist.

[@alexisachickennugget3500]

WHY.....WHY does this not have more LIKES?!?!?!?!? Y'all are all crazy if you think this man doesn't have talent!!! His vocal controls are AMAZING! Brovo👏👏👍👍
