      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

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]

    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
