Without a doubt. Touches everyone. You either remember feeling the hurt of being those lyrics or the guilt of having hurt someone in that position. We can all relate.
Please, for those who are not old enough or as musically diverse, find the original performance by Bonnie Raitt. The song writers are Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin who like most song writers and lyricists, only get recognized by their peers, but are unknown to the general music loving public. That said. I would love to hear Teddy sing Lionel Ritchie's hit "Lady", as sung by the late Kenny Rogers.
Bonnie Raitt had something special with this song, but he absolutely KILLS this!!! Sounds like Sam Smith and Luther Vandross mixed together. Dude is so unique 🔥🔥🔥
i could give you many reasons that someone might not like this song...the song is too slow...you like a different version of the song by someone else, you want her to react to a different style of music... I liked it but chill others can have other opinions...
Teddy's voice to me, is like smooth honey, slowly trickling down the rough edges of a beautiful Maple Tree 💗💗💗 I think the majority of us have felt this, at some point in our lives, that Teddy, is able to open the memory, like it was yesterday 😞There is something to be said about an Artist who can do that 💞💞💞 *Luv your reactions girl, so authentic & so real!!!* 😊
I’ve listened to music for over 40 years and , in my top 3 with any doubt in my mind. Behind Prince and Elvis He’s come in to my life just at the right time ☝️☝️😏😏👍👍🫣🫣🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧
so when you paused like 5 seconds in...with facial expression of "Jesus take the wheel" I literally have had that response to every song I've experienced of his.
When I was going through my divorce, Bonnie Raitt released this song. It was as if she had read my mind. This guy does a really nice cover. You can’t fake that kind of emotion.
If a man EVER SANG. To me this way. I would love him forever. The white Anthony Hamilton. Pure passion in his voice!!! Just excellent!! He has a special voice... He truly does
The song originated from article about a drunk guy shooting his girl in a car. The judge asked him what did he learn he said your honor " you can't make a woman love you if she don't"
Really? Man they need to do like a behind the hit documentary with the songwriters on it. Btw I'm the songwriter... 🤣 jk! I wish though I'd be totally rich😉
That opening reaction from the moment he opened his mouth. Was by far the best I’ve seen. It’s like when he opens his mouth it’s like a ray of sunshine an spring exiting during winter, it’s so warm and comforting same time sends chills down your spine.
The fact that everything stops(literally)at the sound of your daughter's need, calls for a follow. I dont mind listening to someone who has a clear consciousness...
I feel you girl!!! One of his songs brought me to tears. I am literally listening to him repeatedly. His tone, control and the purity of his voice reminds me of the G.O.A.T Donny Hathaway!!
I am just going to say this, I am a new subscriber to your channel (yesterday actually) I have watched 3 of your reaction videos, (Unchained Melody, Sound of Silence and this one) I totally love the surprise and authenticity of your reactions... you have a new fan in NYC
-Craig Lewis Band "A Change is gonna come" -Linkin' Bridge "7 Years" -Dave Fenley "Help me hold on" -Dillon Carmichael "Dancing away with my heart" -Gregory Porter "It's probably me" -Ben l'Oncle Soul "I've got you under my skin"
You cant handle his voice because you have a super loving gentle heart and that makes you as wonderful as him... Sooo very beautiful, I enjoyed watching you as much as him.
Sushi, like you I just discovered Teddy and I must say Teddy’s voice is extraordinarily sublime. His soulful tone, texture and tenor is perfect, especially for ballads and R&B tunes. I would be honored to dance with you to this song.
Teddy can blow R&B... Love it. His voice is so smooth, deep and just gives you chills you never expected with his soulful reverence. It flows so naturally and effortless. I'm a new fan for sure!!
A week ago I discovered Teddy Swims and was overwhelmed by the beauty of his voice. Now I troll reaction videos to witness that epiphany experienced by others. Yes, it is somewhat like watching others experiencing sex, but I get to remember an awesome feeling again.
When I clicked on Subscribe from your reaction to Joni Mitchell singing I knew you were the real deal Sushi but this solidifies it. When a song/singer reaches down in you and grabs your soul then you truly realize you have been blessed by the almighty. Not everyone can feel it, but those of us that can. Amen I say to you. Keep up the good work! A year old video, doesn’t matter to me. Better late the never...
❤️Too Sushi - Too Emotional Too Love - Too Amazing - Too Genuine - Too Tears - Too Soul - Too Jaw Dropping - Too Face Fanning - Too Wow 😥 "And I'll close my eyes So I cannot see The love that you don't feel When you're holding me" So deep and heart felt and heart breaking TOO.
Your nose turned red after 15 seconds and your mouth didn't close....lol. got to capture him (photographer) sing live. Watching the audience do what you did was priceless.
I sent this song (plus many similar) to someone that left me after more than 30 years together. It didn't faze her. She knew how much that I loved her before she decided that she wanted to be with someone else. I am a hopeless romantic. I never forgot her birthday, our anniversary , Valentine's day or any other special occasion. Trust me Too Sushi, their are people who can harden their heart so much that nothing will reach them. Money and prestige can mean more to some people far more than a loving relationship ever could.
Teddy Swims is incredible! His voice, control, rasp, range and how he takes each song and puts his own stank on it! Another artist I would love to see him do a duet with is Yebba (AKA Abbey Smith). Check out her video singing “My Mind”. She wrote the song and the video I’ve seen is a live performance. It will rip your heart out and make you cry and want to protect her. She has many of the same qualities but in a female voice.
Thank reaction is priceless, just like we all were when we first heard that voice, I'm a 55 yr old man, and first hearing that voice left me speechless, love it.....
I love watching your videos regardless of when they were made. Your reactions are so real, so true and really shows your compassion. Your eyes always tell the truth. Keep on keeping on!
I had the opportunity to watch him 10 years ago. The band is the elephant. He loves his Momma. He even has her mentioned in his first blow-up song.i shared all of his music. He is extraordinary and kind. Your reaction was exactly my reaction, WOWZA... I'll be following you. You have good taste.. 😊
Found him on RUclips some time back....... JUST A BEAST!!!! .... The next up and coming.....Nothing extra just a voice and music.... the way it should be!!
i am so glad that i was not the only one to react to his voice the way you did lol i am such a fangirl when it comes to him lol he has such beautiful range!!
There is so much talent on RUclips that the world needs to hear. I've heard people on here that are way better than some of the mainstream artists that are "famous"

"I'll close my eyes so I can not see... the love that you don't feel when your holding me." What a great verse.
Right, and most people pass that part or pause the video to talk about something unrelated. That verse is the one
@@beebobox I noticed the same thing... How often I watch reaction videos and the reactor misses or glazes over the most powerful verse.
That one verse is what made me learn this song.....it is such a profound massage.
Waterfalls immediately..I cried🤣🥺😭
Without a doubt. Touches everyone. You either remember feeling the hurt of being those lyrics or the guilt of having hurt someone in that position. We can all relate.
This guy randomly came up on youtube suggestions for me and I was like ok why not and was utterly surprised by the beautiful voice.
Same for me.
exactly... 5th song or so now. he's wonderful..
Ditto!.....damn!
Blew me away~I’m hooked
Likewise
Please, for those who are not old enough or as musically diverse, find the original performance by Bonnie Raitt. The song writers are Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin who like most song writers and lyricists, only get recognized by their peers, but are unknown to the general music loving public. That said. I would love to hear Teddy sing Lionel Ritchie's hit "Lady", as sung by the late Kenny Rogers.
And find the real story about the song. It´s about a murder.
Bonnie Raitt did it better!
@@jamesdoble2087 it's all a matter of personal taste.
Yes, Bonnie's performance is beyond. So much pain and heartache in this song. I would love to hear him cover Lady as well.
@@jamesdoble2087 you should put the pipe down
Doesn’t matter how many times I listen to this I get emotional. ❤️
Bonnie Raitt had something special with this song, but he absolutely KILLS this!!! Sounds like Sam Smith and Luther Vandross mixed together. Dude is so unique 🔥🔥🔥
When Bonnie Raitt sang this song I fell in love with it...then Teddy Swims sang it and I fell in all over again. Bonnie and Teddy!
I’m just glad people are giving Bonnie Raitt her props instead of Adele or Tank or anybody else who has covered this
@@darianharris9735 of course Bonnie Raitt killed the song, but Tank and Boys to Men killed it as well. This guy is okay, but it was over produced.
Bonnie Ratt singing this I felt it was way deeper ,heart felt
Luther Vandross will always be my all time favorite singer, but Teddy Swims is right up the in vocal purity and range.
The man has a perfect voice, he was born to sing.
I swear…man tells a story every time I hear him sing. So effortless and just pure amazing talent
What a song and what a voice, never judge a book by its cover , love ❤️ it.
He's like a super smooth Joe Cocker - grown folks will get the reference.
His voice is like hot lava cake. Lol A-Mazinga!
I agree,, he has that slight rasp in the back of his voice like Joe.. although it's quite a bit more refined and definitely smoother.
Nice !
Yes sir......amazing
Great analogy.
First time I heard Teddy Swims, I 'bout fell outta my chair. The man has a golden voice.
To the 156 people who gave this video a “thumbs down”...why? Who hurt you?
🤣🤣🤣
Gerald Lazanis cuz their dumb!
Ikr? 🤔🤨😐
i could give you many reasons that someone might not like this song...the song is too slow...you like a different version of the song by someone else, you want her to react to a different style of music... I liked it but chill others can have other opinions...
I prefer Bonnie Raitt’s version.
Teddy's voice to me, is like smooth honey, slowly trickling down the rough edges of a beautiful Maple Tree 💗💗💗 I think the majority of us have felt this, at some point in our lives, that Teddy, is able to open the memory, like it was yesterday 😞There is something to be said about an Artist who can do that 💞💞💞 *Luv your reactions girl, so authentic & so real!!!* 😊
Man,this guy was given a gift.The music flows through his voice.
I love how she stopped to tell us this cover is a straight up "Panty Dropper" LOL!
Tom Thumb lol....
I’ve listened to music for over 40 years and , in my top 3 with any doubt in my mind. Behind Prince and Elvis He’s come in to my life just at the right time ☝️☝️😏😏👍👍🫣🫣🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧
A tear-jerking song and a gorgeous young lady: The perfect combination.
I love her reaction when the song began. She's in love. I keep replaying the beginning.
The first time I heard his gift of a voice I was hooked. 🥰🥰🥰💯💯
the man sings like an angel and the look on your faces speaks volumes about how you were touched by his music
Looks & seems like his voice pulled every emotion out of her body,going by her facial expressions 🙂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
so when you paused like 5 seconds in...with facial expression of "Jesus take the wheel" I literally have had that response to every song I've experienced of his.
Donny Graham, that is another amazing song...one of my favorites!
The look on your face when he started singing - Priceless! Welcome to Teddy Swims Sushi!
When I was going through my divorce, Bonnie Raitt released this song. It was as if she had read my mind. This guy does a really nice cover. You can’t fake that kind of emotion.
His voice has the ability to touch your very soul
Hahaha...everyone's expression the first time they hear a Teddy song!
Yeah you right. I love Teddy!
The same way when i heard Chris Stapleton Tennessee Whiskey
Facts
Right!!!
I love Tenn. Whiskey🤗
And just like that you’re pregnant
Darian Harris Man I wish!🥰
Hahahahahaahahahahahaah
What u said!!!!!!
Whole stomachs pregnant
Lol. 😎
All the quarantine babies gonna be named Teddy
I know a quarantine baby that is going to be named 'Carter' (notice his shirt).
If a man EVER SANG. To me this way. I would love him forever. The white Anthony Hamilton. Pure passion in his voice!!! Just excellent!! He has a special voice... He truly does
The song originated from article about a drunk guy shooting his girl in a car. The judge asked him what did he learn he said your honor " you can't make a woman love you if she don't"
Wow
Really? Man they need to do like a behind the hit documentary with the songwriters on it. Btw I'm the songwriter... 🤣 jk! I wish though I'd be totally rich😉
Him singing this song makes me feel like I am in a 1 sided relationship. He breaks my heart every time I hear him sing this!
His singing is like a new age blue eyed soul
That opening reaction from the moment he opened his mouth. Was by far the best I’ve seen. It’s like when he opens his mouth it’s like a ray of sunshine an spring exiting during winter, it’s so warm and comforting same time sends chills down your spine.
This isn't even his best work! Dude is a gem that is gonna be massive here soon. Glad people are finally finding this voice.
The fact that everything stops(literally)at the sound of your daughter's need, calls for a follow. I dont mind listening to someone who has a clear consciousness...
The woman reviewing this song is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life.
Totally agree, beautiful
so you dont have a mother??
She is very much easy on the eyes yall!
He puts heart and soul in what he does. He feels what he sings. Roger Robinson love this mans voice.
Your face when he started singing, was definitely me when I first heard him! Great reaction, he sounds amazing!
If you never heard teddy it's a experience, that man can blow
I feel you girl!!! One of his songs brought me to tears. I am literally listening to him repeatedly. His tone, control and the purity of his voice reminds me of the G.O.A.T Donny Hathaway!!
I am with you on Donny as the G.O.A.T. Also recommend a vey under appreciated back up vocalist, Robert Bailey.
@@iamwhoam3790 Thanks, I'll check him out!
I am just going to say this, I am a new subscriber to your channel (yesterday actually) I have watched 3 of your reaction videos, (Unchained Melody, Sound of Silence and this one) I totally love the surprise and authenticity of your reactions... you have a new fan in NYC
He got you. You literally turned colors. Every shade was more beautiful than the next.
@Mr Hansen Straight Up!!! Bro over Shot his Shot!
This is a powerful song. Remember when dudes would make their women feel this? We gotta get back to that.
I don't think people listen to the lyrics
Her reaction when he hit that first note was me
He straight killed this song My Lord have mercy that went real deep I'm crying my eyes out baby wow he is amazing
I've watched several of these Teddy Swims reaction videos and yours is the best! You weren't ready...
-Craig Lewis Band "A Change is gonna come"
-Linkin' Bridge "7 Years"
-Dave Fenley "Help me hold on"
-Dillon Carmichael "Dancing away with my heart"
-Gregory Porter "It's probably me"
-Ben l'Oncle Soul "I've got you under my skin"
This man songs will get more women pregnant than the quarantine
LMAO
I’m 63 and I think I just got pregnant!
@@idahomountainlover754 cool, at 63 u looked a challenge dead in the eyes and winked at it. Any baby names yet ??.
wesley Brathwaite lmao

I would be honored to dance with you to this song.
I appreciate the fact that she keeps responding to the calls of her daughter without hesitation
"effortless" perfect delivery I need that voice every mountain I climb 💯🔥🐯
Teddy can blow R&B... Love it. His voice is so smooth, deep and just gives you chills you never expected with his soulful reverence. It flows so naturally and effortless. I'm a new fan for sure!!
This is why you NEVER judge a book by its cover because this book is FIRE!
I literally thought I was gonna die when I heard this! ITS SO GOOD!!! seriously I love this song and he just made me love it more
A week ago I discovered Teddy Swims and was overwhelmed by the beauty of his voice. Now I troll reaction videos to witness that epiphany experienced by others. Yes, it is somewhat like watching others experiencing sex, but I get to remember an awesome feeling again.
Excellent...wow!!! And your genuine emotions Sushi...gives me extra goosebumps 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Hes the truth . I'm always happy to see ppl who have a talent shine ! And I loved your reaction ! You must have a true beautiful heart inside .

I usually never comment, that is until I started watching your captivating emotional expressions, you help me feel the music ! Thank you
Birds Fly, Fish Swim, and Teddy Sings. It's that simple.
Girl, his voice made me cry too when I first heard this.
This guy Teddy is amazing !!! This song is in my head on a daily ... his voice is unreal !!! Loooove
I'm running around the RUclips today saying "Welcome to the Teddy show"
This man has a voice like melted silk! I reacted the SAME way when I heard this the first time
i did the same when he started singing i was like 🤯🤯🤯
❤️Too Sushi - Too Emotional Too Love - Too Amazing - Too Genuine - Too Tears - Too Soul - Too Jaw Dropping - Too Face Fanning - Too Wow
😥 "And I'll close my eyes
So I cannot see
The love that you don't feel
When you're holding me"
So deep and heart felt and heart breaking TOO.
Your emotional honesty is what a man loves to see and needs in this world... please don’t stop sharing ✨💫
Damn! I didn’t love him before hearing him sing this song. Now I do. I guess he literally just made me love him❤️
He did a George strait song and man it was powerful
He's from Loganville Ga, started at a club called atmosphere!
Your nose turned red after 15 seconds and your mouth didn't close....lol. got to capture him (photographer) sing live. Watching the audience do what you did was priceless.
Exactly how I reacted to his voice. So unexpected and I am so glad
This song looks like it brought back memories for you as well😍

Marc Broussard “Cry To Me” (Solomon Burke Cover) , trust me 😉
Great choice! I love Marc Broussard!
Damn never heard him sing that... it was sooooo powerful, I'm crying.
He didn't try to sound like someone else, he took the song and make it his own...he put his own emotion in the song...
I absolutely love his version of this classic song but her reaction is the greatest thing I've ever seen ♥ ❤
*Its a case of:*
*Dnt judge the book by its cover*
And the reactions of shock get me every time. 😂 Marty Ray is another.
I never expected this
A long time ago we had the Bonnie Raitt version. First time I heard I was luckily on a date and it played on the radio. We both cried.
Love You Sushi!;) love the comments, love the emotion.. love you.
I love watching your videos regardless of when they were made. Your reactions are so real, so true and really shows your compassion.
Your eyes always tell the truth. Keep on keeping on!
I love seeing everyone's first reaction, he is simply amazing!!
He makes it look effortless because to him, it is effortless
To see your face like that the same I was thinking wow!!!!! That’s the best voice I have ever heard!!! He’s amazing!
I had the opportunity to watch him 10 years ago. The band is the elephant. He loves his Momma. He even has her mentioned in his first blow-up song.i shared all of his music. He is extraordinary and kind. Your reaction was exactly my reaction, WOWZA... I'll be following you. You have good taste.. 😊

I did play this song for her, she started crying. It made me feel like shit.
i am so glad that i was not the only one to react to his voice the way you did lol
i am such a fangirl when it comes to him lol he has such beautiful range!!
I love your authentic reactions to these beautiful songs with soulful singers!
I know this guy is not singing to me but damn, I feel like I hold him an apology for something!
Originally sung by Bonnie Raitt also she is a fantastic guitarist.
Judy T. She also recorded that song in one take. I know this song because of her and Prince. 🖤🖤🖤
Whooooooo! He's the truth, watching you watching him... Y'all bout to make me cry. Stay safe, well & blessed.
You are too precious! Love your reactions!
It is beautiful seeing a natural emotion out of a woman. Btw isn’t she cute as hell dang.
Exactly My thoughts n feelings when I first heard him! 🥰❤️
Teddy had me crying and I dont have man troubles.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There is so much talent on RUclips that the world needs to hear. I've heard people on here that are way better than some of the mainstream artists that are "famous"
