Omar - There's Nothing Like This

Omar has just been cast as Mitch’s brother in Eastenders. All the comments will start to come in on this video when he debuts in Eastenders

[@MrMmnngghh]

you were right....me included 👍

[@MickeyScouse92]

I once saw Omar sing this live in my classroom back when I was in primary school. I was taught by his mum when I was 6 years old. Hearing this again takes me back to them good old days when I didn't have a care in the world.

[@MsHelenaka]

That amazing! I bet his voice was fantastic.

[@GrafindeKlevemark]

So strange, woke up this morning and suddenly remembered Omar (I'm 74 now), so dug out my record and had a lovely day listening to the only record I have of him - he really has a great voice - shame I never hear other records of him - he's definitely underrated.

[@ricardomusicdoc7227]

Still love this as much as ever. Javone Prince Show (bbc) had Omar on a lot. Not disposable music like so much these days. ❤ Am 70, got a girly to enjoy it with...

[@TeenyTukere]

Very smooth and melody so cool still love it

[@sumthinsumthin523]

Just saw his live in Oakland last night:) He sang this song. His voice is still SO GOOD live!! I have been asking all venues in the Bay Area to bring him to their venues. I started thinking only way for me to see his live is to travel to UK, but SO happy and grateful to have found out about his show last night in the last minute. I took pictures with him after the show that made my day!!!:) 💕

It’s the spring / summer of 1991 and I’m 18, in love with a boy and enjoying the freedom of being young with everything in front of me. Life was spontaneous and full of good times. Whenever I hear that introductory bass line I’m transported right back to that blissful time.

Yes vox populi I agree. And beyond the nineties. Because I've not heard anyone do anything like it since. There's still nothing like this; a combo of heart tugging lyrics and couples dancing bass. It's a bit like a good reggae lovers rock tune in that way.😊😊

[@MarceloMoss]

Hello Omar! I'm a singer from Brazil, but when I met you, I didn't even dream about it ... I lived in a little room at the back of a house, in a difficult situation, I only had a mattress, I barely ate right because I was depending on a boss who lived in front house. My only joy was listening to the radio, there was a small radio clock that I left on the side of the mattress on the floor. Here in Brazil there is an excellent radio called "Eldorado fm". She who introduced you to me. After that, when things got better, I started singing, I started a funk / soul band and included that song and "I guess" in the set list. I even have the audio we recorded here on youtube. We didn't get to play anywhere, we stopped, a lot of water rolled under the bridge, I had a problem with my voice, I got well and now I'm coming back. Behold, I came looking for some songs to record and I came across you again. I just want to tell you that I really like your sound, your voice tone is beautiful. Thanks for the grooves. Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷

It's nearly 2023 and this remains one of those songs that is timeless..

[@kilodelta5562]

This song is a time machine that transports my mind to days of youth as a 19 year old soldier. The melody reminds me of lying beside my beautiful German lover. The smell of her hair, touch of her skin, the passion in her eyes. When we met we were on borrowed time, as I was going back stateside in 6 months. When I was introduced to her I told her ”don't fall in love with me.” We both laughed, but the last day I saw her there were tears. She was about 4 or 5 years older than me, and had been in a few more relationships than I had. This was my first ”grown woman" not a girl but a woman. The sad thing is she thought I was joking about leaving. In her mind, I was planning a way to get away from her if things didn't work out. She was wrong, it tore me to leave her. I told her not to fall in love, but I should have taken my own advice.

[@roycullum6289]

Nice...some people never experience that true love for someone all their lives..like you I consider myself lucky to have loved and lost but those feelings never die...they are with you forever...life can be so hard sometimes...

The summer before University. Going to meet my mates after going to the gym.Awesome tune for a time capsule. As good as that moment was, Im loving and living this one too with my family, my children who are the age that I was then and watching the wheel of life turn from one generation to the next.

Criminally underrated. It's pretty much the perfect love song. It's a perfect chillout song. My only criticisms are, it's impossible to sing and do it justice and there isn't a twenty minute 'jam session' version, preferably with a jazz band, where every instrument gets to butter this.
