    "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.

    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.

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.

    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.. 😊

    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"
