This song just completely melts me away. The first time I heard this at a fraternity house at 4:30 in the morning, I was feeling odd. And this song just recaptures everything I feel about everything.
Damn. When I'm freaked out sometimes, I just listen to this song and forget what I've been worrying about. I feel this way about a few people... 5/5. Great vid.
It's nice to hear you say hello And how are things with you? I love you But very soon it's time to go An office job to do And I'm here writing songs for you It's nice to hear your voice again I've waited all day long I even wrote a song for you It's strange the way you make me feel With just a word or two I'd like to do the same for you It's strange how a phone call can change your day Take you away Away from the feeling of being alone That's the telephone It's nice to hear you say hello And how are things with you? I love you But very soon it's time to go An office job to do And I'm here writing songs for you It's nice to hear your…
I wasn't even aware that this was a cover until I saw that I bookmarked Bless the Telephone on Pandora like, a year ago haha. I love both versions a LOT :3
I love it, but because it as such a creepy feel, with such a beautiful melody intertwined. To me it shows up as frustration mixed with finally feeling happy again. Cool song definitely though!
Skid Mashr I think this is the first time I’ve listened to this sound in years and I still get goosebumps and tears. I think it brings up a lot of truth to emotions that you ignore
@pandaLMT I was thinking about how RJD2 is a standout in my repertoire of taste, about what else might evoke similar feelings. Jun Seba was all I could come up with. This comment made my night.
hey paradiser, the answer to your question turned out to be too long to fit in here but I enclosed the text in the updated info/video description, so please get the information there, ok?
The entire Readymade Fc 's track been sampled here & simply mixed with the melody (& lyrics) of Labi Siffre. RJD2's only original contribution consisted in adding a kick and a snare (Same key, same tempo). None of these two artists are mentioned in the credits.
@JacoBluezz i don't think so,labi sings it in a completely different key and different notes.even if rj did take the labi vocals and slowed them down and pitched them it would not sound like this.
Es agradable escucharte decir «hola». Y como están las cosas contigo, te amo Pero muy pronto es el momento de hacer un trabajo de oficina, estoy aquí escribiendo canciones para ti Es lindo escuchar tu voz otra vez He esperado todo el día, incluso escribí una canción para ti Es extraño la forma en que me haces sentir, con solo una o dos palabras Me gustaría hacer lo mismo por ti Extraño cómo una llamada telefónica puede cambiar tu día, llevarte lejos Lejos de la sensación de estar solo, pasa el teléfono Es agradable escucharte decir «hola».

this is a scary beat, if i was locked in a pitch black room and this came on i would scream and start crying like a little girl LMAO no joke, because in my head there would be like 5 scary IT clowns going around in circles dancing to this song. BUT then after the song ends Ante Up by M.O.P. would come on and i Roy Jones Jr all those clowns like an O.G.
Readymade - "Interlude 02" (Bold album) for the instrumentals (can listen a sample on yahoo music /readymade/albums/bold-159588833 ) + Labi Siffre - "Bless The Telephone" for the song = great RJD2 title !
uhmm..., original? like, by someone else...? the music's taken from the original cd "since we last spoke" by RJD2. is there an older original version by an other band? who?
this is cool and shit but i have to agree with those that say that Labi Siffre's original is a lot better, and i would usually side with the song with drums, but not in this case.
This song just completely melts me away. The first time I heard this at a fraternity house at 4:30 in the morning, I was feeling odd. And this song just recaptures everything I feel about everything.
The fact that he hasn't much control of his voice actually makes this song even sweeter. It's like an impro
such a beautiful song....
reminds me of when my husband was deployed. just waiting for those phone calls.
One of those pieces of music that takes me far away from the every day and makes me just melt. In a good way ;)
I feel this in my soul.
I love this song so much. Its perfect.
tears in my eyes

It's nice to hear you say hello
And how are things with you?
I love you
But very soon it's time to go
An office job to do
And I'm here writing songs for you
It's nice to hear your voice again
I've waited all day long
I even wrote a song for you
It's strange the way you make me feel
With just a word or two
I'd like to do the same for you
It's strange how a phone call can change your day
Take you away
Away from the feeling of being alone
That's the telephone
It's nice to hear you say hello
And how are things with you?
I love you
But very soon it's time to go
An office job to do
And I'm here writing songs for you
It's nice to hear your…
Yes he is, check out the acoustic live-versions; you can actually see him sing it there.
And yes, I like his kinda fragile voice too...
beautiful song
I like songs like this that give me an undiscribeable feelin.
I wasn't even aware that this was a cover until I saw that I bookmarked Bless the Telephone on Pandora like, a year ago haha. I love both versions a LOT :3
his reinterpretation is one of a few
Simply beautiful! I think that more words are not needed ..
I love it, but because it as such a creepy feel, with such a beautiful melody intertwined. To me it shows up as frustration mixed with finally feeling happy again. Cool song definitely though!
i literally cry every time i hear this song :( i dont know why
same for me, i guess reminds us life is distance, time and space
Skid Mashr I think this is the first time I’ve listened to this sound in years and I still get goosebumps and tears. I think it brings up a lot of truth to emotions that you ignore
@@slj400 "nice to hear your voice again"

OLDE ENGLISH USES THIS SONG in one of their sketches, thats awesome

i lost myself in this song, e a c h a n d e v e r y t i m e.
Agree I do, it is!
okay, thanks for this information, i'll have to find it then, + greets!
Thanks!
YEAH!
this song is the shit! rjd2 is putting columbus ohio on the map
reminds me of underwater scene in a video game but ya sweet song
means: the film-footage was not especially made put out by the artist RJD2 for the song MAKING DAYS LONGER...
can anyone else recommend anyone else with cool beats like D2?
I Agree gree!! (not another teen movie quote)
So underrated....
YEAH!!!!!! it's like Lamb of God but harder, haha... jk but RJD2's kickin a** as always, great beat
The fact you referenced RJD2 and Lamb Of God in the same sentence warms my heart 😆 Niiiiiice

i think there used to be a version on youtube of a guy knocking at someones door while this song played, anyone remember that?
Don't give him all the credit man - Labi Siffre's wrote this song and his version is all the more tender... give it a listen!
fkiin lovee ittt!
damn fuckin amazing
Fuck yeah.
thanks
@pandaLMT dude feather by the nujabes is awsome
YEAH??!
öööh, well, honestly I don't have the slightest cue what "kocham kocham kocham ten kawałek i całą ich płytę" means...
Where is the beginning melody from ??
@JacoBluezz i don't think so,labi sings it in a completely different key and different notes.even if rj did take the labi vocals and slowed them down and pitched them it would not sound like this.
Essa musica é um relato dos sentimentos humanos estartados pela tecnologia.
nickuh you crazy
Es agradable escucharte decir «hola».
Y como están las cosas contigo, te amo
Pero muy pronto es el momento de hacer un trabajo de oficina, estoy aquí escribiendo canciones para ti
Es lindo escuchar tu voz otra vez
He esperado todo el día, incluso escribí una canción para ti
Es extraño la forma en que me haces sentir, con solo una o dos palabras
Me gustaría hacer lo mismo por ti
Extraño cómo una llamada telefónica puede cambiar tu día, llevarte lejos
Lejos de la sensación de estar solo, pasa el teléfono

Muchísimas gracias
check out UNKLE, different but incredible as well.
what does (unofficial) mean?
@MrNo1reala Then damn, I got so much more respect for RJD2 if he can sing like this too.
@bitsoflofifi Actually he's not singing. He took Labi Siffre's voice from the song 'Bless the Telephone', but live he does a good voice
OH YEAAAAH
LOL
I don't care if he has a speech impediment. it's a an amazing song regardless.
this is a scary beat, if i was locked in a pitch black room and this came on i would scream and start crying like a little girl LMAO no joke, because in my head there would be like 5 scary IT clowns going around in circles dancing to this song. BUT then after the song ends Ante Up by M.O.P. would come on and i Roy Jones Jr all those clowns like an O.G.
Sick song Thumbs up if u agree
i guess thats possible, i didnt know he sang this. listen "just a word or two. id like to do the same for you" he deffinately has a speech impediment.
i wasnt knocking the song, i was saying ive heard it a million times and never noticed. who said i was talking to you anyway?
hudson mohawke did this justice
RJD2 x Ciara - Go Longer (Hudson Mohawke Edit)
@princebibol22 search Labi Siffre - Bless The Telephone on you tube
dj shadow
Readymade - "Interlude 02" (Bold album) for the instrumentals (can listen a sample on yahoo music /readymade/albums/bold-159588833 )
+ Labi Siffre - "Bless The Telephone" for the song
= great RJD2 title !
i don't notice anything wrong, why do you say that?
uhmm..., original? like, by someone else...? the music's taken from the original cd "since we last spoke" by RJD2. is there an older original version by an other band? who?
by labi siffre, the original song is "bless the telephone" released in 1971
i guess the original is here: ruclips.net/video/pODdlAnk4-U/видео.html
o wrote that 3 yearsd ago andcan comfortably say likes in youtube was not going through my mind what so ever
sorry
ive listened to this song hundreds of times and yesterday i just realized the guy singin has a speech impediment
Original I like more, but I can see the appeal here.
nujabes
wtf is with the video? song's alright
he has a lisp like he was deaf as a child or something
we obviously all think it or we wouldnt be here. stop tryna get likes
this is cool and shit but i have to agree with those that say that Labi Siffre's original is a lot better, and i would usually side with the song with drums, but not in this case.
