sarah roehrig lmao really? Reading this after experiencing extreme racism at a club last night for being black this comment made me giggle. I’m not saying that white people dont encounter race related comments but still this made me giggle out of shock😦😂
sarah roehrig also I’ve never met a black person with a Prussian name like Roehrig. I mean I have a German friend with that name but she’s white so that’s really interesting🤪💞
Man! I was there in the 60's to with Stevie, Marvin and even the smooth voice of Sam cook. But this guy from Manchester is on par. How many times have you heard someone sing live like this? A real rare thing to hear.thank God for some REAL good soulfulness. Brother, I'm gona come see you live. You have just awoken a man in his 70's so thank you for that. I thought music was dead lemme tell you all..he dam good
Oh all this time I thought you lived in the UK😅 my bad lol where are you from? And thank you haha I'll follow you back!! Are you on Instagram or anything?
Damn this song will always get in my feelings, lauryn really blessed us with her lyrics, her voice, her music, and this cover is the best I have found of this song, he did an amazing job, I could feel every emotion in it
there's always that one, in everyone's life. chase him or her. you'll never be happier, don't give up on em. i still can't stop thinking about her, no one else could fill her void.
It might feel like there's only 1 in everyones life and no one else could fill that void but that isn't actually the case you know mate. We're just hardwired to think like that, to feel like that. There's always more than 1 person that can make you feel love and your happiness genuinely isnt contingent on anyone else but you. Love exists inside us all mate, it's always there when you think about it. Happiness is never a constant in anyones life, ever. And you shouldn't seek to make it so, we have to feel sad and and down to feel happy and feel love. Without anger and sadness we have no comparative frame of reference with which to attribute any value to happiness. In other words, we need to know what sad feels like so we can feel happy. This is the same with any emotion, including love. The only real truth you've conveyed is that you're capable of love. That doesn't mean there's only 1 person for everyone and you should chase them. You will be happy again my friend regardless of who you do or don't chase. I can promise you that
No one will ever be able to touch the original for me, but it wasn't bad. The first time I ever heard her sing I was moved to tears. I later had the fortune to see her live in concert many years ago. No one has ever come close to that performance and no one ever will.
I can honestly say after playing this 1000 times or more thats its the best cover i heard. Jp cooper is on another level people. That soul and truth hits your heart with power. Bless you brother.
I listened to this about a 100 few times looking for words to explain how this cover made me feel and after ther the thousandth time , still nothing . It made me cry his voice is so beautiful😣 it touched places in my soul that only good music can . I really love this ❤😢*I'm not crying anymore by the way * 😊
I'm The Biggest Lauryn Hill Far On This Planet!!!!! And I Hate When Any Artist Sings Her Songs. But I Truly Loved Hearing This Man Sing This Song The Moment I Heard This Years Ago.
I hate anyone covering Lauryn hill but this can never get old, just phenomenal.still listened to daily 7 years later as well as the original of course xox
This song was a perfect for him to cover since he still have that rasp and grogginess in his voice like Lauryn hill it was uncut and raw, in conclusion one of the best Lauryn hill covers👌🏾
i could listen to this forever...when i hear it i want: to lay all day in bed with my love doing nothing, i want to cry, i want to smile, i want to walk by the sea, i want to have a slow dance in a kitchen. Sway in the fields looking at the sky. To remember everything again and again and forget what's forever gone. Want everything what's big and small and at the same time - nothing at all..💔💞. so pure version..🖤🖤🖤
As an old soul man myself who spends his time listening to 60s and 70s soul music finally a voice in JP, heaven sent, that has the talent to be a great soul singer. He's waited a long time and never gave up his dream. A master wordsmith and singer can't wait to see him in concert. I bet he's got a ton of great songs to hit us with.
It could all be so simple But you'd rather make it hard Loving you is like a battle And we both end up with scars Tell me, who I have to be To get some reciprocity No one loves you more than me And no one ever will Is this just a silly game That forces you to act this way Forces you to scream my name Then pretend that you can't stay Tell me, who I have to be To get some reciprocity No one loves you more than me And no one ever will [Hook:] No matter how I think we grow You always seem to let me know It ain't workin' It ain't workin' And when I try to walk away You'd hurt yourself to make me stay This is crazy This is crazy I keep letting you back in How can I explain myself As painful as this thing has been I just can't be with no one else See I know what we got to do You let go and I'll let go too 'Cause no one's hurt me more than you And no one ever will [Repeat Hook] Care for me, care for me I know you care for me There for me, there for me Said you'd be there for me Cry for me, cry for me You said you'd die for me Give to me, give to me Why won't you live for me [Repeat]
Omg, I never knew there was a video of this live session.... This cover always makes my Spotify top 100 listened to songs at the end of the year. I'll never get tired of it.
wow im a man who holds singers in high regard and I mean real singers like Luther the god or Brian McKnight .. but this guy has caught my attention his vocals are real good he knows how to actually sing a song. which is amazing for this day and age when most artists rely on autotune or some technology to make them sound better . big respect to this dude . I like him
Who is watching in 2024?
Was not expecting any likes on this lol, this song is magic.
Watching and singing 💥
Watching and giving my neighbours a live concert
☝️
Meeeee
Furst listened to this in 2018 sitting in my kuzzins room having beers n cones n he pulls this song out,its forever a magic song my man
2024 and still listening to this masterpiece 😇
Sameeeee
Lauryn Hill needs to see this.
Jsky Chat that's exactly what I thought
She said she would rather her own children starve than to have white people buy her records.
sarah roehrig lmao really? Reading this after experiencing extreme racism at a club last night for being black this comment made me giggle. I’m not saying that white people dont encounter race related comments but still this made me giggle out of shock😦😂
sarah roehrig also I’ve never met a black person with a Prussian name like Roehrig. I mean I have a German friend with that name but she’s white so that’s really interesting🤪💞
@@nicskeptic That's a lie, she never said such thing... google it and you will find no evidence to that awful statement .
Never have I ever come across anyone doing a Lauryn Hill song justice.. Nice to know I've finally found someone!!
check out Jarrod Lawsons version of this if you haven't trust me he does it justice swell
Greg C no way jarrods version is no way near as good as this guy . This guy kills it
Beyonce's is great.
are y0u okay mate?
+senn jutsumaki
THOSE RUNS! 😮 Never heard anyone come close to slaying Lauryn like that! Beautifully done JP.
I fully agree
I definitely agree!!!!
true BUT BESIDES Tori Kelly !

Darynell Bell get your shit straight and go back and read what I wrote as I clearly said 'come close to slaying'.
One of my favourite covers ever, I think he did Ms Hill justice ✨

Thank you for bringing me here 1xtra

I honestly never get tired of hearing his cover of this song... Then again, I never get tired of anything he sings lol I love him sooo much💕
Haha you probably did😂 I'll be honest, you'll most likely see my name quite a lot when it comes to JP Cooper's videos😅
Amen to that! He's been my favourite singer for three or four years now, looove him👏
Yeahh I loved that!! I remember seeing him on an advert and I had to look him up straight away, and it all grew from there
Are you going to see him on tour this month?
Oh all this time I thought you lived in the UK😅 my bad lol where are you from?
And thank you haha I'll follow you back!! Are you on Instagram or anything?

I HAD CHILLS!!! through every note, every Rift ,every Run, and every Falsetto. Just Pure Gold #GOLDEN 🔑
His voice is so soulful and sounds like liquid gold, I'm obsessed!😍
Whoosh! As a Lauryn Hill Fan that was great. Best Cover Ever ..... Those Runs ...
I'll admit, when I saw the thumbnail I didn't have much faith in this cover. This dude nuke me out of the water. That was phenomenal.
He legitimately might be the best vocalist on the planet right now.
No lie
I have played it on repeat for three hours!
just when you’re about to die , your mind finds a way to give you life . you listened to this . Peace Love .
✌💖
Wow. I'm never getting tired of this
iv been listening to jp cooper for about 2 years now... so happy he's finally getting what he deserves... I knew he'd blow up sooner or later 🙂
Ahh...back when music was worth listening too. #LaurynHill × #TheFugees
Justin Lujan and JP Cooper lol
Facts
The truth!!!!
YES! My heart don’t belong in this generation!
it still is if u know which artists are nice
Damn this song will always get in my feelings, lauryn really blessed us with her lyrics, her voice, her music, and this cover is the best I have found of this song, he did an amazing job, I could feel every emotion in it
@BBC Radio 1Xtra - Bring back JP for a session!
A timeless song covered by an incredible artist!
He should cover a song from Maxwell. Either "Fortunate" or "This Woman's Work." Thumbs up if you agree!
Yeah "This Woman's Work" would be a good shout.
Great shout
This woman's work is kate bush!
jeromio_peezy YES
THIS WOMAN'S WORK .
I never thought someone could make such a beautiful Lauryn Hill cover 💕 Makes me cry
there's always that one, in everyone's life. chase him or her. you'll never be happier, don't give up on em. i still can't stop thinking about her, no one else could fill her void.
Justin Timeless thank you xxx
Preach
This is so sad but true ♥️
This.

You will be happy again my friend regardless of who you do or don't chase. I can promise you that

No one will ever be able to touch the original for me, but it wasn't bad. The first time I ever heard her sing I was moved to tears. I later had the fortune to see her live in concert many years ago. No one has ever come close to that performance and no one ever will.

I hate anyone covering Lauryn hill but this can never get old, just phenomenal.still listened to daily 7 years later as well as the original of course xox
Still here 2023. JP your a legend
this guy deserves much more recognition...☝🏼
I had to hold my breath for this! he took all my air away .
This song was a perfect for him to cover since he still have that rasp and grogginess in his voice like Lauryn hill it was uncut and raw, in conclusion one of the best Lauryn hill covers👌🏾
i could listen to this forever...when i hear it i want: to lay all day in bed with my love doing nothing, i want to cry, i want to smile, i want to walk by the sea, i want to have a slow dance in a kitchen.

Want everything what's big and small and at the same time - nothing at all..💔💞. so pure version..🖤🖤🖤
That was unexpected and it blew me away, one of my favourite songs sang beautifully
As an old soul man myself who spends his time listening to 60s and 70s soul music finally a voice in JP, heaven sent, that has the talent to be a great soul singer. He's waited a long time and never gave up his dream. A master wordsmith and singer can't wait to see him in concert. I bet he's got a ton of great songs to hit us with.
Just found my new favourite artist : ) what an amazing voice.
eddie Doyle please have a listen to my covers if you have a minute,I'm just starting out and I'd be grateful for any feedback 🎤🎸😊
Absolutely beautiful I hope she sees this
It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
Is this just a silly game
That forces you to act this way
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
[Hook:]
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't workin'
It ain't workin'
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy
This is crazy
I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See I know what we got to do
You let go and I'll let go too
'Cause no one's hurt me more than you
And no one ever will
[Repeat Hook]
Care for me, care for me
I know you care for me
There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me
You said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me
[Repeat]
His voice is so pure and beautiful. Love this. 😌
wonderfull song !!!!! amazing voice jp cooper !!!!!! lauryn hill the best !!!!
I actually paused and gain profound appreciation for the song and him as an artiste. I think about my past and all I been through. Wow
