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

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

I've never heard this song before. It really speaks to me - and millions more like me. WONDERFUL! Thanks LNWSC for giving me this gift.

The beat, the vibe, the mood., 😍 Perfect song for summer 2023

[@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]

[@joanneweiss3864]

Love this, and it gives my 70s heart a boost, wish I'd had a song like this struggling in college😊

[@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)

[@anikadraw]

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

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?

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.

[@Lcmsguru]

Love love love her. Go listen to all her wonderful music. 😊

Somebody like me isn't perfect and I am hurting... I know exactly what she is talking about!

[@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. 🤟🏻

iKON is having US Tour next month, pls invite them to perform on the show and interview ✨✨

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!

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.
