@@officialiamtongi If you like Blaze I think you’d like Townes van Zandt too (two legendary TX songwriters). I’d love to hear you sing “if I needed you” by Townes. Keep doing your thing brother, your voice is beautiful, really touches people’s heart.
I know of Blaze! Clay Pigeons is one of my favorite songs! Way to go, Iam. When I feel bad, listening to your singing makes me feel better. You are such an inspiration and I think of you often and send a prayer up when I do. Thank you. ❤
Listening to this song made me forget about the anxiety and stresses of tomorrow. Christ has blessed you with an amazing voice my brother. Keep inspiring others man ❤🙌
Jesus Christ loves you and yours, Brother!@@officialiamtongi - May God Bless you on your Journey and let you Endure through any Struggles you're going through!
@@officialiamtongiHello Iam, this is a very beautiful cover version of one of my favorite country songs. Originally song by the late great Merle Haggard. "The Great Hag", as he was so lovingly referred to as a nick name.❤
With God young man he 2:30 will get you through this. I promise keep God in your heart and you will never be lonely. This song breaks my heart😢. . I WISH FOR YOU HAPPILY...
Iam, du bist mein Lieblingssänger. Ich kann dir stundenlang zuhören. Auch Dank an deinen Musikkollegen. Ihr seid ein ganz tolles super, super Team. Macht weiterhin vielen Menschen auf der ganzen Welt Freude. Wenn alle so wären wie ihr, Da gebe es keine Kriege, sondern ganz viel Liebe ❤.
Must be one very lovely place you're at when you shut your eyes to sing, Iam. Glad a place like that exists. Keep going there. Love from this side of the world 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
@IamTongi the way you tell the story is just so beautiful. As listeners...it's like you draw us in. Thank you for giving us another great song. God bless you always! 🙏♥️🤙 Yessah!
how can you sing so well? oh, you have a very blessed heart, ..stay humble because everyone is always blessed by your singing. God bless you Iam tongi 😇🤗❤️🧡💛💚💙
I have been listening to this song all week by various artists. I just love the song and now you popped up on my videos. You don’t know how happy this made me. I love Iam
Shout out to Lucas on the pedal steel guitar. His mad skills on the pedal steel really accentuates Iam's emotional vocal performance. Also Iam's skill on the acoustic guitar is superb and underrated. Lucas + Iam + Blaze = perfection. I can't stop listening to this song. I love it so much.❤
You always help me feel the emotions of the lyrics. It also took me back to visiting the Islands of Fiji, Honiara, Port Vila and New Zealand on a cruise playing those wonderful instruments. God has blessed you. You will always have that wonderful connection with your beloved dad. Best wishes, Elizabeth, from Australia.
This is beautiful. It seems like I can see pain or sadness in Iams face. I wish I could make it all better. He deserves nothing but happiness. He is so special in my life. Such a good looking young man and a voice as smooth as butter. Love him so much.❤❤❤❤
Theres Nothing in this Crazy World Today than Getting a New Song from You @Iam Tonga ♥️♥️♥️🌴🌺 We just buried my Cousin 💔😭 he was Only 71....and His sister, my Godmother, gave an Amazing Remembrance of his Life!! 💔😭🥀 So Sad during these Holidays!! Your Music helps us All through the Difficult Times!! Thank You for You being You....Our American Idol!! ♥️♥️♥️🌴🌺😢
