I have no words

“Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.” ― Maya Angelou

[@hebegebe1231]

yes

[@88niteowl88]

I miss her.

[@laurent.674]

@Cynthia Erivo Is this really you? As they say ... huge fan here. This song slays me every time I hear it. Thank you.

[@OsheyBaddest]

@@laurent.674 it’s not her smh. It’s a bot

[@laurent.674]

@@OsheyBaddest Yeah ... I guess I was just being hopeful. So unlike me!

[@kayelizabeth3870]

I play this over and over for my Mother, 8 years without you Mum, and I think about you every day. I said you could go and leave your pain, I would be ok without you, I lied. I will never be ok without you. I miss you. I hope your face is the first face I see when it’s my time to leave my own daughter 💔

[@leixmoon]

Omg she literally sounds like an angel from heaven

[@clusa3721]

Great singer indeed. Many thanks for the video because I have just met Ms Cynthia Erivo thru it.

[@tinyf7283]

This song touched my heart😢

[@neilsalaver2818]

Cynthia Erivo is one of the female singers who made me cry. Such an incomparable talent that is hard to resist. Love you Girl!❤️

[@joyvramos]

My Mom died 21 years ago...it still seems like yesterday. She suffered in pain so long before she was finally diagnosed with cancer. I moved her in with me and I eventually quit my job to care for her. It was so hard watching her deteriorate from the once vibrant woman she was. I’m glad she’s out of pain and I know she’s resting in the arms of the angels. I need to believe that. 💜💜 Thank you Scott and Cynthia for this beautiful song!💜

[@jazzlover1317]

Scott Alan has the rare talent to express his emotions through music. Cynthia Erivo is blessed with the gift to convey these emotions vocally. What an extraordinarily talented duo. This is such a beautiful song with such a powerful message. It simply melts the heart!

[@duhnoni]

Yvonne Sanchez I agree 💯

[@monamurray9975]

Yes Yes Yes All I just went off Earth for the Moment of Freedom and peace with my Mom and My Extended LOVE Ones...and it just felt like she was ditating all my thoughts and emotion threw her Song and my Heart Actually Pained.Threw every note and Rhythm of The Tune.💖😥💖😥💖😥💖 It.

[@austinball829]

😢❤😊❤😢 just so moving for so many reasons ... it you can't feel it , Then simply one doesn't have much spirituality Lovely

[@lyoniess1]

I must say this woman is amazing, her voice constantly gives me chills. I was good until that last line "go to sleep", because I literally told my mom on her last day with us (after her 10 years battling with cancer), that I will take care of everything, but she should get rest and go to sleep, just say Hi to Mama.

[@g12340alks]

her voice feels like a warm hug❤

[@johngarvey5234]

The way her vibrato makes Alan's beautiful words shimmer, absolutely breathtaking

[@andreabrown3330]

This song breaks me down every time.

[@jasminemoreland8103]

My grandma had been struggling in her health and was on hospice. She could barely talk and was having a hard time breathing. Her heart was only functioning at 40%. This song was in my recommendations a few days after I listened to "Stand Up" on KZbin. I listened to it and cried my eyes out in a Mexican restaurant parking lot. It felt like she was speaking to me. I went to see her a couple days later and let her listen to it while she was in and out of sleep. She passed away the next day. I honestly feel like God sent me this song and allowed me to say goodbye. Thank you for this, it will always be a way I remember her💜

[@laurent.674]

How can singing this song not rip her apart every time. I know I am gutted each time I listen.

[@nutrishus]

when she sings 'now go to sleep' it is hard to bear. the beauty and the pain weave together in such truth it comes close to love and grief itself

[@prisstifying]

Most beautiful voice of this generation

[@dannyclarkemacomber7022]

The most beautiful piece I've heard of hers

[@Sweetzerlandia]

How to sing such an emotional song so flawlessly, just breathtaking

[@sheilagibson3143]

After watching the Harriet movie bought me here. OMG!!! Thinking of my two year old granddaughter who passed away 💔😢 This is simply magical! Thank you...to both of you 🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️

[@tc2541]

May God always bless you. An angels watching you every single day....... lets pray!! One love!

[@bobkay8806]

My dad just passed. You song is so much comfort! Thank you, Scott!

[@keilahisrael4314]

I love how clean she sings. And the control is spectacular.

[@anneodland502]

Oh my. This might be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Thank you Scott and Cynthia.

[@mindyjoyfullplay5340]

And Miss Erivo!!! I bow.

[@TH-bj3nf]

Takes me to such a peaceful place. Such beauty.

[@babarabaraha]

Dang it! I'm still hooked on POSE, the netflix/fx series. And this song Always, reminds me so much of the pain the HIV/AIDS patients and their loved ones had to go through. That moment with Pray Tell and Costas, oh my, that just moment just killed me. And all the countless times they all had to remember fallen sisters and brothers. Damn that show educated me more than any school about what I know about my community, the LGBTQ.

[@duhnoni]

She is God’s gift!

[@mindyjoyfullplay5340]

Scott Allen. This song helped save my life.

[@aliciabrillante]

We are listening to the voice of an angel 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

[@Marianne_L]

Watching this again a month after my grandmother passed away... I didn't think it was possible for this song to mean more to me, but it does and it's more comforting than ever before. Thank you, Scott.

[@Evie3331]

I really needed to hesr such a beautiful song and voice tonight. Days are darker every day lately, thank you for reminding me of something deeper within me 😢❤

[@Sophiewophie45]

[@princepeterwolf]

Theres so much pain and beauty and emotion in her voice. Amazing

[@serious7179]

This is such a heartbreaking, beautiful song and Cynthia is the perfect person to sing it...I pray that I could say something this beautiful to my loved one before they go...

[@anthonygardner400]

I have listened to this many times, and I have yet to make it through without tears flowing. It is so beautiful, and there is no one better to sing it. Thank you both.

[@DADA090161]

"jesus" it"s perfection !!! tears on my face ....mad about this artist !!

[@deborahminter9784]

Her voice is so beautiful!

[@berakha111]

Gosh, I’m not even grieving anyone... and still bawling my eyes out!!! 😭 😭😭

[@victoriayamen8923]

[@martybob55]

Beautifully written and sung like an angel.

[@leomedicidosreis]

Her voice is magical

[@RnbFreeeak]

I tear up every time when I hear this. Pure gold. Purely magic music.

[@kayealvar6258]

the gates of heaven just opened..such angelic presence.. always....hauntingly beautiful x

[@nyashabonner-shakir9770]

So Beautiful. Families struggling with love ones who are slowing making their transition, can play this for themselves and the souls taking flight. ❤️

[@ShanikaB]

I believe my father's spirit lead me here. I hadn't seen or heard from him for many years. I recently began searching for him...I googled him to no end and even searched on KZbin...this song came up. I cried so much, not knowing that he had passed away. His name is Allen Scott, I love and miss him. This song brings so much comfort. Thank you ❤

[@allysther]

I’m sorry that your search ended in sadness. Wishing you peace.

[@sarahpauley2262]

this song is so beautiful. the meaning is so beautiful, and Cynthia has such a beautiful voice and delivers the true message of this song so effortlessly. Absolutely stunning

[@lauroratac3058]

This performance makes me think of a peaceful place. Everytime I listen to the voice of this wonderful lady I remembered the lullabies that my mother used to sang it to me before I sleep.

[@hakunamatata6060]

Holy sh.... I'm bawling my eyes out... this is just... no words 😮😮😮

[@antheaparkes3284]

[@gentryman1976]

I May Never get over This song.. or would I want to... The most BEAUTIFUL song I've ever Heard in my Life... Thank you God, You had a Hand in THIS....AMEN 💜

[@markmark1066]

Hauntingly beautiful song. Voice of an angel.

[@JEANLOUISG]

I have just discovered it hence to my American friend ! amazing and so emotional. Cynthia and Oliver are just great and help us feel this song till our stomach....

[@Candy07007]

This is probably the most moving piece of music I've heard in a long time... My brother I'm sure is missing his wife/ best friend in this life recently and I thought about sharing, but I had to keep reading the comments myself to distract myself from crying. I don't want to do that to him. This song, Thank You Most High for life; makes going to sleep, the movement of notes, the flow and energy, seem absolutely beautiful

[@pianofingers1981]

... this is just the gift that keeps on giving .. love how you think you can't take any more ,, it just carries on .... didn't want it to ever stop. .. pure beauty in the writing, piano accompaniment, singing, everything xx

[@WHATTHEBUCKSHOW]

TO DIE FOR!

[@marjorielee6169]

Absolutely beautiful, I listen and reflect on my daddy. How much I miss him. 18 years feels like 18 seconds. Yes my strength comes from God, but my character comes from him and my mother. 2020 looks great to me and my family I pray, through God and his Angel's guide me to victory Victor.

[@katjabollmann4928]

This song, this performance is amazing. Brought me to tears.

[@Hammerton32]

+Katja Bollmann I know what you mean, Katja. My sister passed away from cancer, and this song takes me back to that place. Beautifully sung by Cynthia Erivo.
