This guy exploded on the music scene circa '97', stepped back from the mic & now is ready to emerge again...this is what Britain & the world needs. A man who can not only sing but can knock spots off any song he covers. Let's hope '21' is his year. There is a need for soulful music sung well & with passion...Conner Reeves is the answer. Been too long Conner...Nuff said!!!
I was recently blessed with a son. I loved this song growing up, but now do I truly understand it. A powerful song with a touch of Conner Reeves magic. Beautiful.
I remember being 20 years old, still living with my mam and dad, playing this song (and the whole Earthbound album) on repeat. It's an absolutely beautiful song and I still get the same goosebumpy feeling that I did back then when I listen to it now (which is often). Chris, Indie Voices Podcast.
THIS TUNE, A N D, TO SEE IT, VOCALLY UNRAVEL HERE, NOTHING SHORT OF, A M A Z I N G!!!!!!! SOUNDS LIKE, IT'S ALL THROAT HEAD VOICE, A N D, A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF, USING THE MOUTH, TO CREATE THAT REALLY SMOOTH TONE, A M A Z I N G!!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁
진짜 잘하시네요……….. Hello! I’m Korean. When i was 17 years, my vocal teacher teaching to me ‘ordinary people’ . now I’m 26 years old, and still listening your song . I Love You bro!😊
Why does my tears keep running down my cheeks!? Cos my father died late last year. And international borders are closed, I can't go home to see him off 😢 No matter how I've transitioned, and no matter how his dementia made me completely unrecognisable to him, I am and will always be My Father's Son. This song made me cry so much when I first listened to it, at the time my entire family has already disowned me 😢. R.I.P. Dad 😢
Just as good now as you were when I saw you live in Birmingham, so many many years ago. I remember you sang to me... You made my then boyfriend super jealous. Nice one Connor !!!
One of the greatest vocalists to walk our UK soil. A voice absorbed ,immersed in soul an in line with our other artists that deserve more recognition. In a world of ...just emulating singers..not recording artists which Conner is without a shadow of a doubt.Like most vocalists songs are always the key and this song is the exact personification of true soul.This is what makes them continue to live as names and reinforce true soul music .A man who stands out with talent rarely seen that is rarely seen from the heart .Lasting .love to work with this guy.
Dear Conner. I have been listening to your songs for over 20 years. I have your album Earthbound and I have listened to it over and over and over again....and then again. I think it is magical. I think you are an artist of great stature. Tonight for the first time I have seen this video of you singing. I am a songwriter-singer and a guitar player (living in very small town in beautiful West Cork in Ireland) and I simply want to say you have a major fan of your work/art in me.
Wow! I remember seeing him on 'Top of the Pops' doing this song back in the day (telling my age, but IYKYK) - I thought it was great then, and I can't believe he still sounds as flawless as he did then. Way to go Connor! Welcome Back Bro!
Made me cry 😭😭😭 you have become more seasoned and your music has become more relevant through the years. This song has so much meaning in my life, and while I wish I had half your talent, I am more than blessed to be basking in and witnessing yours. I am hoping you could do a live version of Under Your Wing someday. Lots of love to you, Conner! Thank you for this!
What a rendition. Fabulous. I remember the first time this song resonated with me. February 2000...on Capital FM, the advert for Party in the Park played a snippet of this song. But I never knew the artist and there was no RUclips then. Haha.
I taped Conners interview (with Dr. Fox or Steve Penk I think) on Capital 95.8FM. Compared him to Stevie Wonder. Listened to it on loop for a very long time. Gotta find the cassette now.
Conner, It’s hard to put into words, man I’ve fucking held onto you since I was 19? Yeah I think it was I was 18 or 19. I love singing soo much, I sing myself... but when I first heard your voice Conner it was like WTF?? Man, your voice just blew me away man. One of my fave singers is Stevie wonder, and honestly you are right in that ballpark Conner... god the joy you bring with the talent that you have just makes me giggle to myself when I watch you brother, I actually chuckle to myself because you’re that good. Man your singing touches people . I’m so happy your around mate at this time, while I’m living. Thanks for from the bottom of my heart.
Bless you,Jamie..what a beautiful message and I'm honoured you place me way up THERE lol and that you're still listening to me..hope you like the NEW stuff mate and thanks again..big love Cx
@@connerreeves3383 man, I’ll always listen to you Connor. I love the covers that you put up, I especially loved “lean on me” and “you’ll never walk alone” they are brilliant. Do you still gig?? I must find out so I can come and see you.
OMG! You still have it. Wow, those high notes and run is amazing. What a stunning rendition of one of my favourite songs from back in the day when i lived in Botswana. Remember struggling to get your CD. Took me half a year. Now, well, Spotify and youtube. Now living in New Zealand.
Please do a new album... One of my favourite artists of all time! Seen you open for the lighthouse family in 1997 in Manchester, and no disrespect to them but your set was far more enjoyable!
Your voice is so flexible man, this is the best live version I have heard you sing since the song was first released. Lovely song, lovely tone of voice :-)
Wow!!! Man has Still got it!! Them riffs and the falsetto is awesome! My favourite song of the album is ordinary people, have you sang it recently in a video? If not then please do!! Love it and well chuffed to subscribe to you! Randomly early hours of christmas writing this after wrapping presents hearing ordinary people on my playlist of male artists 👌🎉🎉 Merry Christmas mate
So just to be clear this is a cover. It is Joe Cocker. But he smashes the ass out of it. Love his performance! So much soul. Makes it his own for sure.

Always loved this song, but then there's so many great songs you've wrote.
I taped Conners interview (with Dr. Fox or Steve Penk I think) on Capital 95.8FM. Compared him to Stevie Wonder. Listened to it on loop for a very long time. Gotta find the cassette now.

Almost unbearably good! If there is better music in heaven I would be surprised
So just to be clear this is a cover. It is Joe Cocker. But he smashes the ass out of it. Love his performance! So much soul. Makes it his own for sure.
😂😂just to be clear, I wrote this song and released it first.Joe Cocker’s version(which I love )is the cover😜Cx
My son sings this song for me; #dreamnevercometrue coz he doesnt like singing 🤣🤣
