Miscellaneous I don't know what you're trying to say. The voice is an instrument, yes. Does that mean the voice of Kwabs couldn't stand up to the voices of some of the greatest soul artists of all time?
@mescellaneous9 жыл бұрын
AndroZeus just like how it's not the instrument that makes the artist, his deep voice doesn't make him any more soulful. i was looking up james blake covers and i didn't find this cover matched or surpassed the original in any way except style.

Sacred. Listening to this song is an out of body experience. Lyrics: I don’t know about my dreams I don’t know about my dreaming anymore All that I know is I’m falling, falling, falling, falling I don’t know about my love I don’t know about my loving anymore All that I know is I’m falling, falling, falling, falling …I’m falling for you Where are all the stars? Where are all the walls keeping us apart? Well light the light and break them down I don’t want them around I want the one who doesn’t know Who takes me to and fro Well love me still, keep me safe All is joy when I’m awake What is this feeling for? What is this loving I can’t ignore? Well, I don’t know, I can’t say All I know… I don’t know about my dreams I don’t know about my dreaming anymore All that I know is I’m falling, falling, falling, falling I don’t know about my dreams I don’t know about my dreaming anymore All that I know is I’m falling, falling, falling, falling I don’t know about my love About my love anymore All that I know is I’m falling, falling, falling, falling

Kwabs, one thing is for sure, James Blake would NEVER attempt to cover one of your tracks, his vocals are not even on the first rung of your ladder. Your band and backing vocalists on this and other tracks are always first class. I am old enough to be your Grandfather, but your voice still gives me goose bumps. Keep at it mate, you are destined for great things.
