[@wendyarcher3702]

I had to read through comments on FB to find the name of this song.. Thanks Les twins

[@ronaldwsims4402]

Me too

[@benny8429]

The dancing twins Laurrent and Larry brought me here! Sorry I’m late 🔥🔥🔥

[@yonnielewis1863]

😁No doubt! There are few songs/singers who can go beyond your ears and touch your inner man.

[@nakisharhodes]

Same and I'm so glad

[@croxtoncrimefiles]

Les Twins

[@cliff5355]

This song deserves a Grammy 🆑 🖤

[@bccstat]

Heard this song on a video I saw yesterday of the Les Brothers dancing at a workshop. It’s haunting. Never heard of this artist, but then again I’m American so if it’s not pushed in our markets then we’ll never know about it unless we seek it out after hearing it by accident. Still trying to decipher the meaning of the song. Also he sounds just like the gospel singer Fred Hammond

[@lmwms1]

Sis, you and I are sharing the same experience. After watching that dance video shared be Taraji P. Henson, I’ve been searching all things Kwabs. This song is mesmerizing. I searched genius.con to see if there was more context to the lyrics but haven’t found anything.

[@natelesterjr]

I can definitely can hear Fred Hammond in his tone....

[@tommiemcwilliams7586]

Why did he say he having the devil watching over him or being Spell bound? This can’t be music of the true and living God.

[@jozina1]

Found him the same way!

[@bossteamentertainment6836]

😁Les Twins😂😂😂😂😂 I have learned so much new music from them. They have incredible ears and musical taste.

[@92Emeka]

Anyone else notice that the girl singing with him is "NAO"? She's amazing.

[@Ambereyes89]

I always thought that just wasn't 100%

[@joz2012]

+92Emeka i thought so but i wasnt sure

[@amybenham1796]

omg i love them so much

[@loridelisa]

+92Emeka What is NAO? Thanx.

[@joz2012]

+L. King NAO is the girls name standing off to the side in all black singing

[@CharlieMarshall1997]

Undoubtably Britain's best right now. It's funny how true talent like this is barely recognised yet One Direction can sell out worldwide

[@darkstarflorin]

It's all about WHO promotes you, don't act like you don't know...

[@zakthomas-akoo1504]

Darkstar Florin Don't act like Kwabs is an outsider trying to break into the industry, his album is going to be pushed hard next year and every label is already fighting over him. The state of music right now isn't the ignorant masses listening to one direction while only people with a real ear listen to Kwabs, he is very much a commercial, uncontroversial singer.

[@zakthomas-akoo1504]

This might be an unpopular opinion but I'm finding his style of singing annoying and his lyrics pretty tame.

[@tomblejk84895]

Kwabs will be famous, we know it.

[@tomblejk84895]

His voice is amazing. So deep.

[@keyvmis22]

Get your music to AMERICA. This is your year🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@mistynorman3172]

Where in the world did this brilliant singer come from and whyyyy am i Just finding him...Im blown away

[@gazellerobinson2028]

YES!!! AWESOMENESS !!!

[@anitagu21]

South London ❤

[@shardcasso407]

I'm asking the same thing

[@docnative328]

Listen to him on disclosure’s song Willing and Able

[@ladyhellsbells741]

You should check him out doing Wrong or Right on Jools Holland live - goosebumps

[@leroyjnr21]

WOW!!!!!!.... for 3 minutes and 45 seconds I think my heart just stopped!!.... If this guy isn't the best male vocalist in the UK right now, then show me someone who is!!!!.... He needs to worldwide, and I hope and pray he gets the recognition he deserves. Big up KWABS and ur band. Im a fan already.

[@leroyjnr21]

Thanks for the tips I will investigate, and I'm agreeing with you 100% on the Anthony Hamilton thing..to hear him sing anything by anthony would be amazing..have you watched Kwabs' version of 'Stars' by Corine Bailey Rae??

[@davidwatson2327]

Im witcha bro

[@ericaantle6449]

Just heard this song omg.... Had me stuck!!!!!!! I had to find this song and the artist. I’m absolutely in love with this whole vibe but still trying to understand the meaning behind this song after reading the lyrics

[@dotb5397]

hell he's the best male vocalist in the world. I don't know why somebody has not given him a record deal to make everybody filthy rich! 🧐🤔🤔

[@leroyjnr21]

@@dotb5397 he had a deal with a major label and released his debut album a few years ago but they didn't do much promotion with hit or him. I'm unsure if he still has a deal. He's not active on much social media either. It's a shame as he's the best singer out there.

[@sihle_khums]

6 years later and I still come back to this song. This is a whole experience 😍😍😍😍

[@duzeluyanda]

It's 2021 I just found this song now I can't stop listening

[@masibongesibiya2877]

I think I've been here like 1000 times now

[@gee9922]

It's literally my ringtone till now

[@andreamcintyre-wilson858]

It's 2023, came searching after just seeing the video with Les Twins impression and expression of the song, dance move out of this world, singer brilliant out of this universe his vocals crazy. Felt every word and note of this song.

[@Guananchio]

"War’s over but I soldier on, Still battling the ghost long-gone, Oh, oh, oh Still struggling to see the signs, Too heavy for a heart like mine, Save me, SAVE ME... Oh, oh, oh Keep my heritage to keep me clean, Keep the Devil watching over me, Save me, SAVE ME LAST STAND before I walk away, Spell bound, I Stutter, I Pray RELEASE me! Say you need me! Oh, oh, oh Still burning from the heat of your touch, Know I shouldn’t But it’s never enough. Oh, oh, oh Still burning for the heat of the dark, Know I shouldn’t But it’s never enough. Oh, oh, oh I know I don’t belong, But I’m scared to leave! Oh, oh, oh Still burning from the heat of your touch, Know I shouldn’t But it’s never enough. Oh, oh, oh Still burning for the heat of the dark, Know I shouldn’t But it’s never enough."

[@Nnoo1987]

Guananchio it’s never enough

[@jovafitness]

We live for people like you.

[@natelesterjr]

Deep!!!!!!!!

[@StephanieWatkins1013]

Thanks for lyrics

[@maiajanashiasmith]

Love everything except why devil watching after him! Not a good wish. He is talanted need God to watch after him. We seen so many talants end their life tragically. Be safe!

[@geezyjeezy2365]

Just learned bout him today im definitely a fan now

[@keyvmis22]

I can listen to your voice over and over. Souls are crying out SAVE ME. And les twins spoke that i their dance to your song.

[@MahoganySessions]

Deep.

[@NeiljohnonionsCoUk]

Haunting perfection

[@Well_Edumacated]

waiting on his feature on The Mahogany Sessions....

[@tunji3861]

He is one those rare artist whose live performance blows away his recorded tracks. This song live is absolutely captivating!

[@chantiarobinson9371]

Les Twins danced to this song and I was truly touched

[@deniseforeman7241]

This is 6 years old? I just heard it when Tracie Ellis Ross posted Les Twins dance to this song. Well, now that I've heard it, I will pass your music along to anyone who will listen. Your voice gives me joy to know that soul is not dead. God Bless.

[@phylliswingo1084]

One proud SENIOR CITIZEN. WHO IS LEFT SPEECHLESS AND ON A NATURAL HIGH. SING YOUR SONG MY BROTHER...GOD BLESS YOU

[@tawandaJerry]

What motherless goat disliked this video... Son of a.. Smh

[@jwalt8019]

LMAO!!!!!!! Too funny.

[@siknotesimpkins4222]

its either a slip of their finger or a slip of their mothers grasp dropping them on their head as babies

[@88Kartman]

2024. Favorite song ❤

[@dannyrose6231]

It's Criminal how underrated this song is .

[@kishamack-allen1980]

This is six years later..... Masterfully done🎤🎶 this a gifted brother.

[@dotb5397]

LORD YES HE IS AND HE DESERVES WORLDWIDE RECOGNITION!!!

[@RayWayEatznTreatz]

Les Twins brought me here ....omg I love your voice thank you .... nothing but soul and they dance was soooooo emotional .... God bless you and your family

[@wesleyjones6535]

I don't understand how anyone could hate on this man. You must be an utter idiot if you can't recognize how much technique and skill is behind his voice. There are so very few vocalists that possess this much talent. Hopefully, he sees the same amount of success like other UK artists (Adele, Sam Smith, Amy Whinehouse, FKA Twigs, etc.) Kwabs is brilliant. His tone is rare. As someone who is being classically trained, your ear grows accustomed to what true art sounds like and feels like. This cat here is it.

[@escobarines]

+Wesley Jones And thus I found myself violently nodding while reading your comment. I totally agree with you. He is indeed brilliant, well said!

[@brandyD33]

Word. His voice and artistry cannot be taught, a gift straight from God. Outrageously gifted human being.

[@TrasieHemingway]

His voice moved my SOUL!!!!

[@NadzUK]

Probably racists and haters

[@arthurfox6777]

Mannn we didn’t know about him we’re American lol

[@brendahbranday]

I came here after watching the twins dance to this song ....now I’m in love 😍🙏

[@br0wnskinsheila250]

I’m here from the Les Brothers video I saw today. I resonate with it completely. This song gives me goosebumps and not many can. As I am currently healing from a heartbreak, I interpret the song as a relationship being over but still being haunted by all the memories and the “what ifs” daily. I fought for the relationship and here I am now, in be aftermath, still fighting, attempting to truly heal; facing what was done wrong to me and what I’ve done wrong also. It takes a strong individual to admit their faults but that is imperative in the process of healing. “Struggling to see the signs, Too heavy for a heart like mine” resonates with me as it is extremely tough to look back and realize that the signs were there but I refused to acknowledge them so now those same things are haunting me. Not only am I heartbroken-I feel like a fool, I would rather not think about it because it’s only going to make the heartbreak worse and I can’t bare it with my broken heart’s current condition..It’s heavy, extremely heavy. When he says “keep my heritage to keep me clean” I’m interpreting it as a person using their beliefs to protect them in this process. Some people pray, meditate , etc., whatever your belief is, you look to that for guidance and protection. I thank my ancestors/spirit guides DAILY for protecting me from things seen and unseen. The last stand TO ME is being unconditionally in love with someone that is no longer reciprocating the love they once showed so I have no choice but to begrudgingly walk away. I’m stuttering as I walk away because I don’t really want to but my hand is being forced. I’m tormented by the thought of having to leave someone I love unconditionally but I know I deserve better, I want better but I’m also hoping that you say something/anything, that’ll make me stay. I’m asking you to release me as you’re acting as if I’m not what you want but in the same mind, wishing that you’ll say that you need me so I can have an excuse to stay. I can recall being so in love that I felt like a spell had been placed because the love had such a magnetic pull, something I’ve never experienced, the feeling was foreign to me. I’m not supposed to still yearn you and/or love you as we are no longer together but I do. I can still feel your touch, the way you made me feel, the memories and I’m haunted by them all... just my interpretation of the song!!

[@haileybradley6513]

Chills. I'm super late but grateful to have found this song.

[@emmiliafedorov3786]

Probably one of the very few people left who don't auto tune their voice, you sound fricken amazing!!!

[@nikolettcsomor]

He has a strong, relaxing voice. I can feel my soul trembling while I listen to him.

[@samanthastoker7108]

Did anyone else cry, i did like that was so beautiful....

[@PerrrsianCat]

His voice is just fab.... And I love his outfit

[@BRINKDIZASTER]

Daphne Mohajer-Va-Pesaran lol...

[@kisha1218]

This is orgasmic. His voice is so rich and powerful I am addicted!

[@tdmagichands]

Why are we not getting music like this on the radio. I came because the Les Twins dance video & i was shocked that yhis song was released 9yrs ago. This doesn't make sense. Artists like him is what the music business needs

[@fredrickawhaley5263]

Yesssssssss!!!! Les Twins put the ENTIRE universe onto you!! I’m so grateful to be here!! ❤️❤️

[@rodgeComAu]

Oh man. I just discovered you while looking searching through some tunes and now I've watched 5 performances in a row. You sir, were born to sing. So glad to discover your music.

[@damonjones6681]

Dude is nice wasn't even on no R&B was trying to hear Lil Boosie and he popped up. but now I can't stop playing it. lol

[@johnnyjudis9163]

😂

[@animalvillebreeders1289]

😆 me too. Looking for Ratchet stuff on to laugh at on social media and ran into his song

[@deehardaway6451]

Me too. Almost haunting.

[@Darryljpadillamusic]

Thank you SOHN for breathing life into this song. Kwabs deep soulful voice is undoubtably underrated!

[@НеТот-м4з]

War's over but I solider on Still battling the ghost long gone Still struggling to see the signs Too heavy for a heart like mine Save me, save me Keep my heritage to keep me clean Keep the devil watching over me Save me, save me Last stand before I walk away Spell-bound I stutter, I pray Release me, say you need me Still burning from the heat of your touch Know I shouldn't but it's never enough Still burning from the heat of your touch Know I shouldn't but it's never enough I know I don't belong But I'm scared to leave you Still burning from the heat of your touch Know I shouldn't but it's never enough Still burning from the heat of your touch Know I shouldn't but it's never enough

[@leroyjnr21]

Still giving me chills in 2018.... Why is it that Ed Sheeran, or Sam Smith are worldwide and selling millions...making diluted soul music....yet this amazing talent, with more soul than all these blue eyed soul boys put together, isnt!?.... Oh wait.... Yep...you're probably thinking the same as me.

[@maibae4129]

Because real soul music makes you feel so many emotions at once some people can't handle it. This song/him singing takes you through planes, worlds and other places and brings you back and then you realize there's more to your existence than you thought.

[@iamenough6958]

I agree.... But watch him take off now Thx les Twin for exposure!! Proof the universe is always working on behalf!

[@mancjaynem5654]

I agree mate

[@mialanore2056]

Maaaaan i just shazammed this song from the dancers @officialLesTwins page when they danced to it. I bought on itunes And to see this .. Man YOU ARE FREAKING TALENTED WITH AN AMAZINGGGGG VOICE OMG!!!! Taraji henson posted too!!! This is 6 years old but I HOPE UOU ARE STILL SINGING BECAUSE YOU ARE AMAZINGGGG

[@audreyandrewsbennett2507]

I just discovered this and it gives me goosebumps.

[@afropopular1711]

why isnt this guy famous he has such a great voice like an awsome voice i would buy tickets to his concerts and everything

[@tesha2087]

I cant believe 99 ppl disliked this. Probably my 99th time watching it. This was beautiful and stirred my emotions ❤

[@jackjackson7831]

You are absolutely correct. It had me stuck lost for words.

[@electromaestro]

I should have been asleep a long time ago but I've discovered his voice. I can't remember the last time I've listened to one song after another and constantly had chills and goosebumps. I hope the voice and the music and ultimately the artist are never compromised, but allowed to flourish like the natural wonders that they are.

[@Joek1808]

Nao killing it with the backing vocals, must have watched this vid 10 time over the last 5/6 years, gets better each time

[@alishahandy3055]

Every time I hear this song I get goosebumps I love this song and if it wasn't for the twins I would never heard this song. Now that I'm hearing you sing it by yourself I'm loving it even more. But just to let you know the twins promoted your song. Yes they did they was deep and it was really.

[@sheilavirgil8954]

I am a street Pastor..I discovered this song, by seeing the les twins dancing. My breath stopped and tears flowed. Someone said , in their comments, that souls are crying this song😭..I am myself and I can't wait to have my goddaughter dance to this..Thank you young man..this is true ministry...Music finds the pathway to the deepest of the soul..Thank you for showing us this Path..

[@RachelJadeMalika]

Aren't the lyrics strange for a Christian ? " Keep.. Watching over me". Just asking i'm French. How do you interpret the lyrics, because I don't get it.

[@JustMeandJesus]

Amen pastor 🙏🏼🙏🏼 my interpretation of the song is, about spiritual warfare. Our will verses God's will. Our Spirit crying out to Jesus. Like Paul said. I do the things I do not want to do. 😇💕💯

[@snigdhasaikia1931]

This is perfection, Kwabs. I will never know why I am discovering you now. BUt then, better late than never. You are phenomenal and your voice gives me chills. ❤❤❤

[@dotb5397]

My words exactly thanks to the twins that's how I discovered him. He's now on my playlist and considered to be one of my favorite artists.

[@11jacqueline11]

Goosebumps on arms. Wow. This was so otherworldly it was so remarkable. speechless. Your upper register is so gorgeous. wow. okay, hitting play again.

[@nataliablair9973]

Jacqueline FitzGibbon I got goosebumps too..It's weird. He's amazing and that girl's voice is soothing too..

[@therrynick9084]

Kwabs, Nao, Jorja Smith, Jessie J, Dave, Stormzy and Sam Smith are representing a beautiful variety of British precious and outstanding voices. In this case Kwabs is incredibly talented. Your voice gives me peace. You deserve the best with your God given voice of power!

[@snmsfixit]

My God... The power behind these voices

[@stefanovanutrecht9610]

Still love this song! who else?!

[@thecliff4670]

His voice is so powerful in tone. Pure strength. This song tugs at my soul.

[@LANGORS]

"Still struggling to see the signs Too heavy for a heart like mine Save me, save me" His music is strong and invades my soul!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!

[@StephanieWatkins1013]

Me too

[@flo15jo]

I can't BELIEVE this guy's voice. The emotion just takes hold of you. Look, I'm a fan of female vocal, I worship Kate Bush. I just had this total fantasy of a collab between Kwabs and Kate. Something soulful. It could work. Off to look at other videos. I would rather do this than sleep.

[@yummyikissedagirl]

Power brought me here !Love this track and yes NAO!!!!

[@screwfaceclub]

her voice is beautiful too

[@Doggstyler]

Wow.. just wow... and that woman with him I think she has learned to speak with some angels because... so soft voice, so sweet. This guy, also, doesn't need comments really. Mesmerizing.

[@giwheazzer1431]

Crying right now! ❤️ So many emotions. You touched my heart.

[@TheGoddessLili]

wow! even live, he sings with finesse and precision. raw ralent and soul. God blessed this man with a voice of gold! I'm officially a fan.

How is this not recognized as one of the best voices and songs? I'm so late! Twins brought me here too, but I'm not leaving!! Thank you Twins!!

[@jeremymakaga579]

Magnifique chanson .superbe voix .artiste talentueux .✅💪👊🤙

[@lilgirl307]

Im such a big fan of your raw talent. We are in a time with a lot of autotune and to hear artists that have a voice that can sound like this without any studio sound modifiers is refreshing.

[@ferehj675]

His and Jacob Banks’s voice has me mesmerized.

[@futurewarrior7979]

Its amazing how the Lord can use people or a person to see or hear another person or people the song is amazing an heart felt

[@MrLandy77]

Nothing better than a deep spiritual experience of life...

[@ebonychild]

I haven't come across a talent that deserves global recognition more than you. No disrespect to anyone who's gone on a reality/talent show, but I'm glad you weren't 'discovered' through that medium, it somehow makes your gift more authentic to have beat your own path. I've watched a few of your videos and I must say, special mention must go to the guys jamming behind you too, they are supremely talented musicians. For all the crap I have to sift through on a daily basis on KZbin, I'm so glad I stuck it out and found you man. You can't keep a lid on genuine talent that's for damn sure!

[@morganbell3276]

I too learned of this song from Les Twins, since that day I cannot get enough of this song, in any version. the emotions this song evokes is beautiful

[@iamenough6958]

10262020 here in Dallas Tx First time hearing this OMG LES TWIN THANKS FOR PERFORMING TO IT!!

[@notacttalkpodcast6072]

Prime example of sticking to your craft no matter what and no matter how long. I mean this came out six YEARS Ago. Keep grinding bro

[@YeahYall]

There's a video circulating on Facebook. I think it's Les Twins. Brought me to this video. Dope!

[@keishapierre5265]

Mercy lord Mercy 🥺 🙏 😫 😢 his voice 😭 his voice 😭 God the beauty 😍 makes me cry and rejoice at the same time I can definitely relate 😢 😭 ❤ ♥ 💖 💙 SING MAN SING

[@BibiMcMurray]

I just discovered this on Spotify. I think this song is incredible, the lyrics touching. The phrasing perfect. The main singers heart touchingly, hauntingly beautiful. My new favourite song. Thank you so much for your music. You enrich our lives.

is that nao? I'm sure it is. That voice is so distinct. Wonderful track

[@rachidakoch]

Not me coming back to this song years later and realising the back up singer is Nao, who now has an established singing career of her own. I love that for her. And now I’m gonna need a collab
