I will never forget the first time I heard this song in my car, and it changed the entire landscape of the sky, and suddenly I was driving a 1957 Chevy Bel Air as the sunset over the horizon.
Hello Gorgeous, Thanks for supporting me and my career, This is my own way of showing Appreciation. I really do appreciate you for the love and support you have showed me and I'm so Grateful🌹🌹
Wait .. so, this is from 2015??! The world needs guys like Leon to create music the way it was meant to be. This song has a heart, a soul, life and emotion.
+sudhindra srinivas This kid has a lot of talent but I have to give some credit to the late/great Amy Winehouse. She started this trend of retro, 60's music when she released her famous album, Back To Black. That album and music spawned other solo artists to embrace that era. Leon does the job very well. The kid has a lot of talent.
love this song, so familiar of the music i listened to in my childhood. reminiscent of Supertramp's classic My Kind of Lady which achieved the same feeling in its own day ruclips.net/video/Q0FXu6bv_8k/видео.html
I think this is what they meant when they said, "He's an old soul." The artist may be young, but that soul has been around for centuries. And to make ya feel better it's in no rush to leave anytime soon. So we hope 🙏
+Don Pasquale Todd and I were cool. And his brother Wallace. Not to mention there's more than one manager at the store so I don't think he was referring to me.
I’m 17. My boyfriend and I trade songs for each other to listen to every week. Most of the time, it’s songs we both already know but this one, I wasn’t aware of. It came out four years ago yet when I first listened to it, it sounded straight out of the 60s. Sounds like Sam Cooke. My boyfriend dedicated this song to me, as well as “Forever Mine” by The O’Jays. Safe to say, we both have very old souls. I miss time periods and eras that I wasn’t even born in. I adore music that takes me back. In this world today, we don’t hear songs like this much anymore. Thank you, Manuel for dedicating this to me. I love you. And Leon Bridges? Please keep on making music. We need you and love you.
Omg good to know I wasn’t insane when i thought this was straight out of late 50’s early 60’s. Im 18 and an old soul as well. I cant help but love classic soul music from the 60s! Glad to know im not the only one out there
Try Light the Sky by Grace Vanderwaal, Wake Up by Coheed & Cambria, Darlin' or For No One by Houndmouth, Stubborn Love by The Lumineers, Unsteady By X Ambassadors, Thunderclouds by LSD, Without You by Louis Odom, Jr or Flicker by Lxandra.
Oh this is sooooo good. I’m 70 years old. Brought up on Motown as a teenager. This is Temptations, Otis Reading, all that great great stuff all in one song. Voice production and video. I’m gonna get more of his stuff. I’m gonna try and learn this for an open mic. FANTASTIC MUSIC THANKS LEON
Yeah, Kevin. I’m 70 years old too. This is like AM radio from the 60s. I’ve known about Leon Bridges for some time now, but I can't grasp why he isn't more well-known.
I feel the same way. I'm actually a huge hip hop/rap fan and this is one of my favorite songs. These types of songs make me realize what music is really about.
Found this from a McDonalds TV advert.this evening. Absolutely beautiful song, just as beautifully sung. Never heard him before but will definitely be checking out more of his music.
McKee April Yeah I see what you mean. It would be ideal that this talent should remain pure and un-tampered with by the music industry and its money-grubbing schemes. I doubt Leon is the kinda guy lookin to sell out though so I think we're good. And yes, I do believe the world could use more of a guy like Mr. Bridges.
Leon Bridges my name is Elaine Bridges and I come from a long line of Bridges Family. Your music is excellent and don’t ever stop. God bless you and your family?
I wouldn’t necessarily say talentless. I would just say it’s over saturated with low talent individuals & lacking lots in the love & soul department. Most just wanna be famous for nothing & simply emulate what is “trendy”. I see where you’re coming from & definitely agree to an extent tho. But this music right here, is definitely full of love & soul, & it’s so refreshing.
Why does everybody have to knock stuff instead of just enjoying what they love? Just do you and recognize even stuff you don't like probably influences things you do?
To those complaining about mainstream music not being ^this good, DO something about it! Support artists like Leon!! Actually buy his album and don't just illegally download it.. make a statement.
+TheUnderdog1026 AMEN TO THAT!!! I am a music teacher & I'm always trying to let my students know that if your getting music illegally just so you don't have to buy it then I guess the same will happen to you when your 1st #1 comes out!
Adrian Brood The best part about that is no one has to have sex with anyone. What other people choose and do is quite literally none of anyone else's business when it pertains to consenting adults..
Wow... He has so much soul man, very talented artist. Thank you for restoring the feeling and standing out from the rest. This is proof that good music still exists. -Paint The Sky,Blew!!!

+Khesanio Moon fuck the grammys. i don't need to see who won in order to decide who i want to listen to. no disrespect to you. look at is this way, the beatles NEVER won a grammy
Only discovered Leon Bridges the other day (July 2024) as I was watching 'New Amsterdam' on Netflix and a song Take me to your river was playing, looked it up and discovered this young man with the beautiful soulful voice, thought wouldnt top the river song but this one is just as good in a different way, looking forward to discovering more of his songs.
He hasn't sold his soul. That is why he is killing the vast majority of these other "artists" in creativity and talent and he isn't as "mainstream". His come up and success are authentic. I absolutely love his music!
He reminds me so much of the black singers of the 60's.. He has that sound that is so pleasant , wonderful groove. He is what was needed in this new decade. Great talent. Man , he takes me back. Love this guy.
This makes no sense... There has always been ''bad'' music. If you blame it on the generation/time of period - that you can't find good music for yourself, you don't really want to listen to better music.
People often say that there’s no good music anymore like the music or of our fathers and forefathers. Good music is like a good woman, it exists you just have to persevere to seek it out.
My manager at work heard I like oldies music and showed me this guy. I was so amazed and in love, and then I found out he was contemporary and my mind was blown further. Best manager ever haha
Genuine//Imitations I was unaware that ppl still listen to the radio in 2015....you can download whatever you wanna listen to,why depend on the radio for your musical entertainment
Just discovered Leon Bridges tonight. Called a friend and told her about him. I'm from the old school and his style has touched my soul. Very talented young man. I'm actually smiling now!
Leon, this song takes me way, way back. I’m young and there’s a dance hall over Lake Geneva. I’m dancing to the music on the jukebox. I’m in the middle of a large room with wooden floors above the Lake and the music is taking me away. Thank You! ☺️🕊
Leon Bridges is bringing back that "Real" soul music from the heart! I'm all thinking about Marvin Gaye, Al Green, The Temptations, even The Five heartbeats after hearing this!
OMG son YOU are the revival of rhythm and blues. It is so special, and an honor to hear what beautiful music you make! Please don't keep hitting that Harmony making the tune to love peace and happiness.. Your music makes me happy and overjoyed! You are the epitome of music keep up the good work! I am ecstatic at knowing what you have in store! not to be vocal but your music is this shit! thank you for understanding your blessing, God bless, keep up the good work!
Baby, baby, baby I'm coming home To your tender sweet loving You're my one and only woman The world leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, girl You're the only one that I want Wanna be around Wanna be around girl Wanna be around girl Ooh, wanna be around Baby, I would be grieving If you wanted to leave me all alone now By myself, I don't want nobody else The world leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, girl You're the only one that I want Wanna be around Wanna be around girl Wanna be around girl Ooh, wanna be around Baby, baby, baby I'm coming home To your tender sweet loving You're my one and only woman The world leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, girl You're the only one that I want Wanna be around Wanna be around girl Wanna be around, girl Ooh, wanna be around I need you baby Girl I, I need your loving Darling, wanna hold you close Girl
Even the sound of his music is like he recorded it 50 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if he used vintage equipment in the studio. This is great stuff.
+brownvid totally agree, some people are just less perceptive to the message pop music sells, it's all about money and sex and violence. I just love that music like this, even while being made in recent years, doesn't have any negative message, just pure emotion and creativity. I'm also a huge fan of classic soul and R&B so that plays a big part haha
I really hope this is a taste of whats to come in the next generation of music. REAL musicians, who write REAL music, and play REAL instruments with MEANING. I know what record i'm adding to my vinyl collection next. THIS ONE!! Seriously, support this man, don't steal his music, go out and buy it, and pay his bills, so he can keep doing what he is doing.
Phuking classic- been trying to find this song since 2014/2015!! Took me ten years. This love for this song was meant to be. This made my week and probably the rest of my year!!
We most DEFINITELY need MORE soul music LIKE THIS out in the world it's just one of those songs that when you're having a bad/tough day you can listen to and it'll just hit different and lift your spirits UP like NOOOOO OTHER
+Nijah S. Kinda amazing how few people pay attention in high school history class. I mean, you only cover the topic twice in two separate years; people should know by now the 60s were the most frighteningly volatile period in the post-WWII era. Advent of intercontinental ballistic missiles, Vietnam War, cuban missile crisis, race riots and arson, presidentially endorsed bomb shelters, assassination of both Kennedys, MLK assassinated, friggin *Charles Manson*, most of the major progress in Civil Rights and its associated violence. I mean for fuck's sake people, why do you not know how shitty the 60s were?
+buca117 I meant the music aspect of the time period. I'm well aware of the things that happened in the 60s and how oppressive, traumatic, and violent it was. I was simply expressing my opinion about how wonderful I think the music of the 60s is, not the actual time period. Some things about certain time periods are terrible, yes, but there are also some aspects of them that are beautiful, like music. I'm appreciative of how you care about this subject but please realize when you're reading too much into something someone says.
Nerelle Alice Well, you didn't make that clear, not a lot of people actually know anything about history and are very assuming. But I got the gist of what you meant.
FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!!! I'm a 60+ old white woman and I LOVE LEON!!! Back to REAL MUSIC! UP CLOSE SLOW DANCING! now the young couples can feel what it was like to be held tightly and fall in love while dancing. not just walking around in a circle, but real dancing. I love you Leon!!!!
That's awesome someone coming out of their skin..it's always a blessing to see that transformation in somebody..I've seen it many times over..even with a racist step dad..not saying anyone is racist but Jesus transformed my step dad several years before he died and it was beautiful because the whole town is a witness and I never expected to see so many at his funeral the church was so packed not everyone could fit inside and he was a poor man
God bless this wonderful man for the magical beauty of his soul filled music. He has recaptured the 50's 60's and 70's all in one swoop.....I'm so glad to have found his music
Leon, you once stated (according to what I read when I googled you) that: “I didn’t know where I fit in,” he said. “I didn’t have any friends at school.” And ”People didn’t want to be friends [with me]. I had no place.” Well sounds like we have something in common...I don't have many friends as well. I have only one person who I can say is a friend of mines today. When I was in high school, I was mostly a loner. Anyway, now you are providing something positive to the world through your music. That's a good thing. I wonder who wants to be your friend now! March 7, 2021
Although I don't personally know Leon Bridges I always believed we were some how kindred spirits, and you confirmed why, so thanks for your (insightful) comment and, in our youth, had we three known each other we'd be inseparable/I'm sure of it.
He makes me miss a time I have never experienced.
Perfectly said.
It can still happen
Lee-anne Russell 😊👍💃
True
Same
He reminds me of sam cook i am pushing 93 years old and you bring me back in time
AWE💓💓
❤❤❤❤❤
Awww💖💖 I’m amazed to see the older folks liking this!
sweet
God bless you❤️ you’re a treasure
I will never forget the first time I heard this song in my car, and it changed the entire landscape of the sky, and suddenly I was driving a 1957 Chevy Bel Air as the sunset over the horizon.
Cool car you drove😊
😂
Hello Gorgeous, Thanks for supporting me and my career, This is my own way of showing Appreciation. I really do appreciate you for the love and support you have showed me and I'm so Grateful🌹🌹
I want to go! Take me next time girl!!
Ahhhhhh nice 🤙😁
Leon Bridges is such an old tender soul in a young man's body he really makes us old timers feel so young again.
Y'all aint old.....yall started it. Lol. Much love.
Its like a trip back to the 1950s 1960s. These modern artists are really trying to bring back the old days of music.
Fearfully and wonderfully made Psalms 139:14 awesome name you picked. Peace and Blessings to you and your family in 2023.

Agree. I must admit I have not listened to Amy much. I must catch that recent movie of hers. Thanks!
Facts!!!!! Need to bring back these songs
This song sounds like an old classic, I absolutely love it
Yeah Im sure this song was purposely made to sound just like one from the 1950s time period
I thought it was Motown Gold, had no idea! Happy to have found this ❣️
love this song, so familiar of the music i listened to in my childhood. reminiscent of Supertramp's classic My Kind of Lady which achieved the same feeling in its own day ruclips.net/video/Q0FXu6bv_8k/видео.html
It does, reminds me of the 70's. Great music.

Please God let this guy continue to put amazing music into this crazy world!!!
Amém!
it's working just heard of him today!!
Amen!!!! 🙌🙏🙌 This world is lacking this kind of ❤ & soul ❣️😇
Beautiful 1950s retro song
Ditto ❤
Remember when he use to work at rosa cafe, and he'd sing while he was cleaning tables. Look at him now!
that's so so sweet!
I remember. I was his general manager
+Don Pasquale manager*
+Don Pasquale Todd and I were cool. And his brother Wallace. Not to mention there's more than one manager at the store so I don't think he was referring to me.

Right?!

If Sam isn't the father, then old school Marvin Gaye is!! He sounds a lot like the first half of Marvins career - just incredible!!
I wish my father was alive to listen to this. he'd love it.
Just turn it up. He can hear it. One love.
That was classy.

I post it every year for my father.....Today. My father would love it too. They hear it.
He hears it all through you..
This is the kind of music that needs to be promoted today. Actual instruments. Such a difference.
I feel the same way. I'm actually a huge hip hop/rap fan and this is one of my favorite songs. These types of songs make me realize what music is really about.
Dominic Quinones They don't sing or play like this anymore. This is what the music industry needs REAL SINGERS,REAL INSTRUMENTS,REAL MUSIC!
***** I agree with you so much..This young man is amazing....
I think all types of beautiful music should be celebrated no matter how made really. Guitars and 808s can sound amazing.
***** actual instruments, recorded on analog. this is how to do
Found this from a McDonalds TV advert.this evening. Absolutely beautiful song, just as beautifully sung. Never heard him before but will definitely be checking out more of his music.
This is where I heard it, and have been searching, found it and it's fabulous!!!!!
Same here. Beautiful 😍
Same! What a song!
Likewise. I have been playing this since I heard the advert. Beautiful 😍.
Same.. Had to look it up. Gorgeousxx
This guy has soul. Exactly what the industry needs.
Agreed

The industry does not need anymore souls if you know what I mean, the world needs more souls
Fuck the industry and the sheeple

Christy J yup, i had to click the add on spotify too! glad i did! i was out of sam cooke ;)
Christy J was this the song on the ad
Christy J I thought it was some soul singer I've never heard of from the 60/70s, but it turns out to be a guy not much older than me!
Christy J Pshhh real music is everywhere :D behind those music gigants!
I can’t wait to play this song again when it finishes
This is the song my wife and I chose for our first dance, Thank you for the magic you made with Coming Home.
That's awesome. Its the perfect song
that's amazing bro! Ive been wanting to learn to play it on the guitar so I could sing it to my fiancé on our wedding day.
That's so Lovely! I am using this music for slow dance with my husband some time around weekend... Super nice 🙂
We're thinking of choosing this for our first dance! Now, i guess that makes me unoriginal, but DGAF.
This song absolutely melts me to my core. So romantic, beautiful and sweet. His voice is like honey, I love it.
Close your eyes belly music
Where is this man at??😢😛
Love it !!
Agree 100%. Pure talent. Nostalgic and beautiful. I’d love to have this on vinyl, for certain. 😍

Damn, this is the first song I've seen on youtube whose comments are 99% wholesome. Thus is the power of Leon Bridges and his music.
I got married in 2015 and this was our first dance song. I love everything about this song. Leon's voice is perfection. ❤️
Still with eachother

It's so refreshing to have the sound of soul alive in this modern day filled with talentless music

Why does everybody have to knock stuff instead of just enjoying what they love?
Just do you and recognize even stuff you don't like probably influences things you do?
This has a retro feel to it. This is beautiful music. 1st heard this some years ago been a fan since then.
You said it brother
His voice feels more like home to me than any physical place ever has.
Love how you describe this song.... feels like home... very poetic
Me too
Hope you're still listening 🎶 cheers
Hearing this feels like my favorite time of day

Real music right here... Why the 155 dislikes? This has soul!
They're not disliking the music, they dislike the black on white sex that's about to pop off.

Jane Doe captain obvious
I swear Leon gives me 1940’s-50’s vibes. Love his voice so much and I love him dearly ♥️
Yep. Music like this I think was intended to be nostalgia of good old fashioned music back in the day
If this generation can't have Sam Cooke, I'm sure glad they have Leon Bridges.
Found you by watching The Voice. So 60’s it makes me cry. I’m 76 years old
I’m in my teens and also enjoy this ! It’s a good song to cook/ clean to

There already is tho. Just look up some old motown records
Leon’s voice speaks to my soul.
This guy has his spirit so talented I can play his music all day 😊

@@b0oseymo0sey It sounds more like a mid 1960s motown sound. not the 1950s, they did not have this sound yet in the 50s.

great idea! i'm stealing it xD
I was watching this song on a skiing video and thought the same but realised i hate marriage lol
My wife and I danced to this when we renewed our vows...but treated it like a first dance, just 10 years later.
mgoode 👍
Infatuated with your musical style and your voice!
Nice one!!__
People often say that there’s no good music anymore like the music or of our fathers and forefathers. Good music is like a good woman, it exists you just have to persevere to seek it out.
I am The Batman most true thing I've seen today
Speak that truth friend
This comment brings me hope in so many ways.
This should be reposted every time someone say they rather listen to oldies instead of discovering artist like this!
When you put it that way, it's hard to argue!
Soul is eternal
My manager at work heard I like oldies music and showed me this guy. I was so amazed and in love, and then I found out he was contemporary and my mind was blown further. Best manager ever haha
Better give that manager a raise lol
Finally some good soul music, just when I was about to give up on current music.
What about Sam Smith though? I think he's quite soulful. He seems to sing from his heart... Or Hozier? Same thing...
I totally agree, everything on the radio is awful. This is music right here.
Tammy Doherty Radio garbage still! *smh*
Genuine//Imitations I was unaware that ppl still listen to the radio in 2015....you can download whatever you wanna listen to,why depend on the radio for your musical entertainment

I don't know, I guess some people dont have aux cords.
Just discovered Leon Bridges tonight. Called a friend and told her about him. I'm from the old school and his style has touched my soul. Very talented young man. I'm actually smiling now!
This is the kind of music you can play over and over again and love it better every time you hear it
Leon, this song takes me way, way back. I’m young and there’s a dance hall over Lake Geneva. I’m dancing to the music on the jukebox. I’m in the middle of a large room with wooden floors above the Lake and the music is taking me away. Thank You! ☺️🕊
This song was made to sound like a song from the time period of 1956
Wouldn’t it be the perfect crime if I stole your heart and you stole mine?
Leon Bridges is bringing back that "Real" soul music from the heart! I'm all thinking about Marvin Gaye, Al Green, The Temptations, even The Five heartbeats after hearing this!
Well said !!! :)
Lord help me!! This is so beautiful and soulful. This music sounds so classic. Like Otis Redding.. Fire!!
Love how they nailed replicating that old motown gorgeousness. Music like this turns a crap day into something so much more managable.
Mr.Bridges hits different
It's amazing hearing new Motown!
Huge fan of the motown era/soul music. I am so excited to see artists like Leon during our generation. So much soul, so much heart. Love it!
now this the type of music we need today !!! (& this is a 20 yr old saying this )
100% agree...I'm trying to help bring it back, too lol. This is the stuff I love to sing
***** we sure do!
This fellow 20 yr old agrees
***** Just turned 20 and I completely agree this music kinda touches the soul to be honest
We need all types of music. But this should be given more play
Only just found this (here in U.K.) picked up from a TV McDonald's advert. Amazing! And even more amazing is that this song is 7 years old??
OMG son YOU are the revival of rhythm and blues. It is so special, and an honor to hear what beautiful music you make! Please don't keep hitting that Harmony making the tune to love peace and happiness.. Your music makes me happy and overjoyed! You are the epitome of music keep up the good work! I am ecstatic at knowing what you have in store! not to be vocal but your music is this shit! thank you for understanding your blessing, God bless, keep up the good work!
I am so impressed honest to God this is the freaking most beautiful song I've heard in a long time
This is the kind of music i want to listen to. This the kind of music i want this generation to make, finally there is one.
Amazing.
Baby, baby, baby
I'm coming home
To your tender sweet loving
You're my one and only woman
The world leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, girl
You're the only one that I want
Wanna be around
Wanna be around girl
Wanna be around girl
Ooh, wanna be around
Baby, I would be grieving
If you wanted to leave me all alone now
By myself, I don't want nobody else
The world leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, girl
You're the only one that I want
Wanna be around
Wanna be around girl
Wanna be around girl
Ooh, wanna be around
Baby, baby, baby
I'm coming home
To your tender sweet loving
You're my one and only woman
The world leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, girl
You're the only one that I want
Wanna be around
Wanna be around girl
Wanna be around, girl
Ooh, wanna be around
I need you baby
Girl I, I need your loving
Darling, wanna hold you close
Girl
His music is so soulful it's like I traveled back through time and living in a different era.
FAITH IN MUSIC
shut up
This is definitely ❤ anytime, anywhere, any Year 🎉
Even the sound of his music is like he recorded it 50 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if he used vintage equipment in the studio. This is great stuff.
Zach Sweis He did.
Naruto Uzumaki Well, there you go.
This is a masterpiece. Trust me, I got taste.
I can trust you have taste, just look at your username
😁
+Tala Fondungallah haha, I try to become vegetarian at one point in my life though ;)
you should try again tho. watch Cowspiracy on Netflix
@@talaf6616😂😂
love this shit man, i wish this is what was pushed to the masses
Pushing what?
it's always up to us to educate ourselves... but i do agree with you. he has a purity.
+brownvid totally agree, some people are just less perceptive to the message pop music sells, it's all about money and sex and violence. I just love that music like this, even while being made in recent years, doesn't have any negative message, just pure emotion and creativity. I'm also a huge fan of classic soul and R&B so that plays a big part haha
It's us to us. :) Try to call a radio station and see if they'll play it just once if you send it to them... And then see what happens from there! :)
It was.. IPhone ad.
I've been searching for this guy ever since I listened to him on a late night show ,familiar and fresh❤superb
I really hope this is a taste of whats to come in the next generation of music. REAL musicians, who write REAL music, and play REAL instruments with MEANING.
I know what record i'm adding to my vinyl collection next. THIS ONE!!
Seriously, support this man, don't steal his music, go out and buy it, and pay his bills, so he can keep doing what he is doing.
more of this on the radio please 😰😰😰
Exactly. It never got the radio play it truly deserved.
Leon, Leon, Leon...What a God given talent...what a gift to hear anew the stirring, soulful, R&B that I grew up with and love.
Phuking classic- been trying to find this song since 2014/2015!! Took me ten years. This love for this song was meant to be. This made my week and probably the rest of my year!!
We most DEFINITELY need MORE soul music LIKE THIS out in the world it's just one of those songs that when you're having a bad/tough day you can listen to and it'll just hit different and lift your spirits UP like NOOOOO OTHER
Dammmn that good soul feelings, we miss that kind of music today. I hope Leon Bridges won't disappear, his music's too good.
i love this song. always wanted to live in the 60s and this is perfect
If you knew what ACTUALLY happened in the 60's you wouldn't want to live back then, lol. But I agree they need to bring this style back.
+Nijah S. Kinda amazing how few people pay attention in high school history class. I mean, you only cover the topic twice in two separate years; people should know by now the 60s were the most frighteningly volatile period in the post-WWII era.
Advent of intercontinental ballistic missiles, Vietnam War, cuban missile crisis, race riots and arson, presidentially endorsed bomb shelters, assassination of both Kennedys, MLK assassinated, friggin *Charles Manson*, most of the major progress in Civil Rights and its associated violence.
I mean for fuck's sake people, why do you not know how shitty the 60s were?
buca117 Exactly. It's why most older folks [try to] "forget the sixties". 😂
+buca117 I meant the music aspect of the time period. I'm well aware of the things that happened in the 60s and how oppressive, traumatic, and violent it was. I was simply expressing my opinion about how wonderful I think the music of the 60s is, not the actual time period. Some things about certain time periods are terrible, yes, but there are also some aspects of them that are beautiful, like music. I'm appreciative of how you care about this subject but please realize when you're reading too much into something someone says.
Nerelle Alice Well, you didn't make that clear, not a lot of people actually know anything about history and are very assuming. But I got the gist of what you meant.
Just heard it played on the radio for the first time and the first few lines got me.
In Nigeria .
Oh Leon, Leon, Leon...you're incredible, out of this time, do retro and so authentic...love you so much!!
Can’t wait to play this at my wedding someday ❤ this song literally gives me chills and makes me tear up. So beautiful.
FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!!! I'm a 60+ old white woman and I LOVE LEON!!! Back to REAL MUSIC! UP CLOSE SLOW DANCING! now the young couples can feel what it was like to be held tightly and fall in love while dancing. not just walking around in a circle, but real dancing. I love you Leon!!!!
That's awesome someone coming out of their skin..it's always a blessing to see that transformation in somebody..I've seen it many times over..even with a racist step dad..not saying anyone is racist but Jesus transformed my step dad several years before he died and it was beautiful because the whole town is a witness and I never expected to see so many at his funeral the church was so packed not everyone could fit inside and he was a poor man
God bless this wonderful man for the magical beauty of his soul filled music. He has recaptured the 50's 60's and 70's all in one swoop.....I'm so glad to have found his music
Is this jazz or soul?
This does sound like my daddy's music.. I can remember dancing on his feet
this guy is just magic classic silk
Leon, you once stated (according to what I read when I googled you) that: “I didn’t know where I fit in,” he said. “I didn’t have any friends at school.” And ”People didn’t want to be friends [with me]. I had no place.” Well sounds like we have something in common...I don't have many friends as well. I have only one person who I can say is a friend of mines today. When I was in high school, I was mostly a loner. Anyway, now you are providing something positive to the world through your music. That's a good thing. I wonder who wants to be your friend now!

Although I don't personally know Leon Bridges I always believed we were some how kindred spirits, and you confirmed why, so thanks for your (insightful) comment and, in our youth, had we three known each other we'd be inseparable/I'm sure of it.
