Getting strong 90s vibes, and that’s a good thing. Nice song!

[@ellenmurphy2150]

The lyrics are about me right now. Great song. I feel that song personally.

[@katlavellehawk]

same!

[@Havetohide79]

Awesome song! I also relate, my take is the scapegoat empath getting abused by the narcissist.

[@macareuxmoine]

@@Havetohide79wishing you energy to heal!

[@uglylovemachine]

Joy Oladokun, you're my new favorite artist!! Great vibes!

[@sarahsmolinski8980]

My new favorite! Going to see her in Nashville in 2 weeks! So stoked ❤

[@dananorris6242]

Never heard of her and will need to hear more of her!

[@vanessawhitneypro]

GORGEOUS song!

[@VirtualMud]

This is really good, sounds great ❤️

[@anikadraw]

YES!! Go Joy & band- ya’ll deserve to enjoy every bit of the goodness you are creating.

[@molliemurphytindle5451]

Go, Joy!!!! So glad to see your rise continue!!

[@cherishireland9194]

What a lovely voice. I love her vibe.

[@matteowatteo1296]

Great song. Nice job Joy. To me your sexual orientation matters not. Your pronouns are irrelevant. Your music is what I find compelling and it's awesome.

[@FeileCase]

I REALLY LIKE THIS SONG, Joy Oladokun...Thank You. I'm so glad to find this. #JoyOladokun

[@joanneweiss3864]

Love Stephen introducing new artists, shes got a future once the live nerves are mastered with songs like this, watch the official audio YT WOW ! Wish I'd had this song to play piano at coffeehouses in college (70s LoL)

[@whatisron]

If you liked this song, Joy has more really incredible music. Brilliant poetry, great production and songwriting. I currently can't stop listening to Changes and We're All Gonna Die (from her latest album). But you don't want to miss her previous album either, which is also pretty stunning.

[@alessandrarivell8180]

that is a GREAT song

[@katlavellehawk]

Wow, how did I miss her talent! I love this!

[@paxgood7373]

My feelings exactly 😂❤❤❤

[@julianfernandez9041]

Yup.. And so does Dave Matthews 🤘🏼🎉❤

[@apalmer7388]

Wow, closed-minded comparisons from people who can't light a candle...😂

[@paxgood7373]

@@apalmer7388 I... don't know what that means...

[@renatacantore3684]

Good song. Beautiful music with relatable lyrics. Be blessed 💖♥️💐🕯🪔🎂🪔🕯

[@leavingitblank9363]

Reminds me of Tracy Chapman.

Lyrics: "Somebody Like Me" Even when I do my best Feels like it doesn't matter Feels like it doesn't matter I've watched even my best intentions Turn into disaster Everything goes backwards I've searched the rubble of all of my decisions Learned to say sorry for the things I do Though I don't want to Some days it feels so hard to get better And I've never been as honest as I want to be When I need help through Can anybody say a prayer? Can anybody light a candle? For somebody like me Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh It's the least that God could do For giving more than He could handle To somebody like me Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Somebody like me Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Somebody like me Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh I've watched all my rivers run dry Over and over Over and over Now I know that's no way to get by Can't keep on fixing The things I haven't broken I've searched the rubble of all of my decisions Learned to say sorry for the things I do Though I don't want to Some days it feels so hard to get better And I've never been as honest as I want to be When I need help through Can anybody say a prayer? Can anybody light a candle For somebody like me? Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh It's the least that God could do For giving more than He could handle To somebody like me Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Somebody like me Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Somebody like me Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Somebody like me ain't perfect Somebody like me needs care In the moment I'm heavy and hurting Can anybody meet me there? Somebody like me ain't perfect Somebody like me needs care In the moment I'm heavy and hurting Can anybody meet me there? Somebody like me ain't perfect Somebody like me needs care In the moment I'm heavy and hurting Can anybody meet me there? Somebody like me ain't perfect Somebody like me needs care In the moment I'm heavy and hurting Can anybody meet me there?

Can anybody help me find the video of Sunflower Bean's Late Show performance? The song's called "Who put you up to this?". Full Video or audio-only, I don't care. I just want to listen to it again. Please help!

[@spencerlawrence8318]

Wowww love this! Refreshingly original and soulful

[@saragracie5554]

Wait a minute. There are no episodeS. Is that as previously predicted because the WRITERS ARE ACTUALLY ON STRIKE??

[@timothypartridge674]

[@user-ku4gs9yc9d]

90s vibes! 👍🏻 If you're looking for new artists to feature on the show, you may want to check out SB19, a multi-genre Filipino male group who are monsters when performing live. Their latest single Gento went viral on Tiktok with 1 billion views so far. Great beats, meaningful lyrics. And the choreography is 👌🏼. They will surely put your stage on fire. 🤟🏻

Wow. Just wow.

[@stillhere1425]

I NEVER NEVER NEVER get picked to serve on a jury, not that I want to be, but I believe it is my civic responsibility, I sit through days n days of waiting and watching and listening to the babbling of some of the densest potential jurors ever born, then last second, I’m dismissed. Every time. My most recent experience, for whatever reason, every single one of us had to listen to every single other answer precisely the same queries: “Have you ever been the victim of a __? Is anyone in your family in law enforcement?” On and on for days. Next time I swear I am going to fake a seizure.

[@chrisgadd]

WHAT kind of guitar is that on the left with the "H" on the headstock? So cool.

[@robertexile1235]

OMG, those backup vocalists. I am smitten.

[@jelledk9]

Amazing. So much India Ari and Laura Mvula sounds

[@bjdefilippo447]

Excellent songwriting.
