Did anyone else notice This man is INCREDIBLE , I have found absolutely nothing to complain about any songs I've been blessed to hear from him , absolutely wonderful artist
I thought for sure this was Nina Simone. I heard it while watching All American and almost plugged in Nina Simone, Solid Ground and plugged in only Solid Ground and his name came up.
There are so many more great artist that can be found on the internet who do not get the attention they deserve in this Taylor Swift music world. If you like I can make a few recommendations to you.
When my wife and I first split....I listened to this song over and over again....and cried and cried... it didn't fix anything but it started the healing process....this man's music is powerful...
Exactly man I thought that exact thing after accidenally finding this song whilest searching for the lyrics to another song, within the first 5 seconds.i was like, yeah one of these modern James bond intros for sure
With all the uncertainty that is going on in this world, you able to bring us back some solid Ground for our Hearts and Minds. Thank you Michael Kiwanuka and your band for this beautiful Performance.
From day one I listened to MICHAEL KIWANUKA i loved this artist inside out - a master of music from the deepest depth of his beautiful soul ! GOD bless you, Michael. Always an indescribable joy to listen !
One day I will make wonderful films and I will happily say I have been moved by the emotions this man’s music has brought to me... I hear his songs and I can just see it.
I haven't been able to enjoy music much in so long for mental health reasons, but every song by Michael Kiwanuka feels like a masterpiece that I'm just barely present enough to recognise and it's one of the few things keeping me feeling like a human right now.
How does it feel when it's quiet and calm? And will I be denied? How will it feel when it's time to move on? Mother says kneel and pray When it gets hard, I will roll those sleeves Life can be so unkind I will be found on the edge of the world Where there'll be no one around Oh, solid ground Solid ground Solid ground Solid ground How does it feel to be on your own? No one to understand I know I'm here and I don't belong I'm on my knees today When it gets dark, I will know no fear Life can be so unkind Hanging around on the edge of the world Finally no one around Oh, would you help me? I don't understand Is it over? Am I losing solid ground?
Thank you!!! Ive been on my own for a long time. Theres no solid ground. Thank you for telling me im not alone. There are many of us searching for solid ground!
Although we are physically apart from one another because of COVID 19, we can be together collectively in mind and spirit that way we will never be alone...One Love!!!
This still put tears my eyes no matter how many times I listen ,it still absolutely moves my soul ! If you can't understand that , you have no feelings !
Brilliant - and the social distancing in the video is such a poignant reflection of our times. Song gives hope - a better and solid tomorrow is coming.
You’re not paying your strings enough. It’s not often you’re afforded the opportunity to witness an artist performing at the very limit of their abilities, let alone a group of them doing it in unison.
So happy that Michael Kiwanuka is getting the recognition he deserves. First heard him almost 10 years ago and was blown away. He was so good, I almost wanted to keep him my little secret discovery. Glad I didn't and now everyone knows! Love and Peace!
I'm embarrassed to say I only heard of Michael today when mentioned for the Mercury prize. This is the first song I've heard of his and it's not very often after one listen does a song strike me like this! Absolutely beautiful! I'm now going to spend the rest of today listening to him. I'm onboard 👍🏻
Been a fan since day one, still amazes me every single time! saddens me to see that this performance has only 25k viewers when some tekashi 69 or some other low quality musician gets to a million viewers in less than a hour, when all the respect and views should go to lyrical and vocal geniuses like Michael and others. keep on putting this amazing pieces of art! Those of us who understand and respect real music will be here any single time!
I just heard this in the soundtrack of an Australian tv series and thought it was a Nina Simone I hadn't heard before. I searched RUclips and found this. This really has the sound of Nina. Lovely.
Still searching for solid ground too...Beautiful composition and lyrics, great live performance. Excellent choice of the historical location.Thank you so much.
Hi Micheal, I just wanted to let you know that Ugandans are proud of you mate. Continue to spread peace and tranquillity through your amazing music, I truly appreciate your craft and art of delivery.
I discovered Michael during Covid lockdown. His music was instrumental (pun intended) in getting me through it. I thought I had seen every video of every song, but this one popped up for me tonight. How did I miss it before??????????
Dear God. I have tickets to see him in Madrid, and it keeps getting pushed further and further back, but I can't imagine it won't be worth the wait. This is incredible

It's like going through life without hearing, and then one day GOD opens your ears. "Soft and sweet, the song repeats".
Ahh I know I love this recent discovery of his evolution and dedication to his craft..."Cold little Heart" in studio got me hooked
To think he was gonna collaborate with Kayne west lol I feel like that would've been bad for his career.
indeed, yes
No words can describe it. It pierces totally the heart❤❤❤❤deep in the soul
Never heard of this guy, heard one song and now 6 songs later I am still listening. Incredible talent.
I thought for sure this was Nina Simone. I heard it while watching All American and almost plugged in Nina Simone, Solid Ground and plugged in only Solid Ground and his name came up.
Finally I found some talent on the internet

This isn't music....this is the divine truth
The violins sound is like an answer to his voice.
U'r high aren't u
Yes buddy, you could say that. They are having a melodic conversation with the vocals. Beautiful arrangement.
@@RyanKoriya It was fun to play!
@@kwesiedman you played in it?
@@RyanKoriya Yep. I'm the cellist in it. And 'Light'
Can't stop listening to his music. I'm late to the show but I'm staying.

The undeniable beauty of the MK minor chord progressions.
🙏
Yes🕴
Theres no doubt that he is the most talented artist in our time.
It's true
Check out Black Pumas but I really like this guy!
@@mporter123456 Will do!

@@joachimdahl233 Give me a reason to, then!
When my wife and I first split....I listened to this song over and over again....and cried and cried... it didn't fix anything but it started the healing process....this man's music is powerful...
i hope you find your soulmate someday. I never did for reasons beyond my control.
Thankyou all American for introducing me to this masterpiece
The performance the cinematography... astonishingly beautiful!!
Your words are perfect 👌🎷👍
how lucky to record in that location. in front of the victoria&albert museum i used to sell ice-cream to the tourist in the seventies.
I wish he'd get a James Bond opening song. It's such a wonderful full sound with a slow build to power.
Exactly man I thought that exact thing after accidenally finding this song whilest searching for the lyrics to another song, within the first 5 seconds.i was like, yeah one of these modern James bond intros for sure
He's on Animal Kingdom soundtrack.
this guy has a beautiful soul. His songs show that!
Real music for our souls.. more original voice you won’t find in this wasteland of autotunes artists..
Incredible artist my man🎶
This man is freaking AMAZING! Extremely talented!
With all the uncertainty that is going on in this world, you able to bring us back some solid Ground for our Hearts and Minds.
Thank you Michael Kiwanuka and your band for this beautiful Performance.
Solid ground? No, solid gold! This is simply beautiful....
The finest, authentic, heartfelt music in the world. Truly beautiful.
Heard this guy's music in Atlanta. Had to hear more.
From day one I listened to MICHAEL KIWANUKA i loved this artist inside out - a master of music from the deepest depth of his beautiful soul ! GOD bless you, Michael. Always an indescribable joy to listen !
His voice is so pure.
One day I will make wonderful films and I will happily say I have been moved by the emotions this man’s music has brought to me... I hear his songs and I can just see it.
i am your biggest fan from Angola. Jah bless
The string quartet added so much to this song. As well as all the other musicians. They are all shining bright with the song
damn this video really got me thinking
Can't wait to see him Iive next year
Like someone said in another comment, this is the kind of song you need to listen to in a car with an ashtray.
Very good sir

Fantastic contemporary soul-black-music!! 😇😇👍👍🥰🥰
How does it feel when it's quiet and calm?
And will I be denied?
How will it feel when it's time to move on?
Mother says kneel and pray
When it gets hard, I will roll those sleeves
Life can be so unkind
I will be found on the edge of the world
Where there'll be no one around
Oh, solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
Solid ground
How does it feel to be on your own?
No one to understand
I know I'm here and I don't belong
I'm on my knees today
When it gets dark, I will know no fear
Life can be so unkind
Hanging around on the edge of the world
Finally no one around
Oh, would you help me?
I don't understand
Is it over?
Am I losing solid ground?
🔥🔥🔥

Beyond beautiful
Love this song, love his voice, love the words.
There is this really rare quality to his voice that almost reminds me of Nina Simone. Truly beautiful.
Came here for this comment 100%
An absolute STAR, you just seem to get lost in Michael's lyrics and outstanding musical talent...... Thank you sir...
Yep. True gift. His good soul is there to see, and it reaches mine💕
Thank you!!! Ive been on my own for a long time. Theres no solid ground. Thank you for telling me im not alone. There are many of us searching for solid ground!
I was on my knees in October, things can change so quickly. Hope you’ve found some solid ground 💚

🙏❤
Although we are physically apart from one another because of COVID 19, we can be together collectively in mind and spirit that way we will never be alone...One Love!!!
So beautiful to me in every way. Man what a genius!
M.Kiwanuka + L.Einaudi....Let's make it happen!

This Song is a real Master peace..
I love this young man! Finally someone in his generation to bring art back to music and song. Each song is so powerful. Keep songs coming.
My favorite Michael Kiwanuka song - he absolutely is amazing live. Here's hoping those days return!

Clean clean clean
This is one of those songs that I feel in my bones. I can’t imagine how anyone can hit the “unlike” button.
Gawddamn! This made me feel actual real human emotions🥺🥹
Genius 😍😍😍💜
Such a masterpiece. I was completely taken over and transcended. Moving at best! 👏🏻

Another great song, music and arrangements from a great songwriter/composer.

Kandahar got me searching for this song! So beautiful!
Same case
Talent at it's finest

Welcome John.
You are in for a treat!! Literally my top albums of the year each time: Love and Hate AND KIWANUKA. Just brilliant!!
you will not be let down
This was so beautifully done. Everything came together perfectly.
Been a fan since day one, still amazes me every single time!

so a hear later same the views went UP quite a bit 🎹🎵🎶🎼
Well, I watch it about 20 times a day, so I'm doing my part!
I can't really explain the feeling when am listening to his songs!
Michael Kiwanuka thank you for everything you put on your performance with that pure soul ! God bless you ! Hope to see you one day
So good 👍🔥 16 ocak 2023
I just heard this in the soundtrack of an Australian tv series and thought it was a Nina Simone I hadn't heard before. I searched RUclips and found this. This really has the sound of Nina. Lovely.
It's rare that every single performance of a single song can become it's own masterpiece by the same artist -- just. he really is... just that good.
Heard this from the movie Kandahar. And I was like, I gotta find this song. This is beautiful
Kiwanuka continues to knock it out of the park. Beautiful rendition of Solid Ground
I love how haunting this song is.
You've just made my day better. Thank you
You should come to Brazil
SIM 💚🇧🇷
How the hell isn't this is a complete blown up song
What a voice
Still searching for solid ground too...Beautiful composition and lyrics, great live performance. Excellent choice of the historical location.Thank you so much.
CRIKEY absolutely stunning.
There really are no words for this guy except two. THANK YOU.
Michael kiwanuka we love you♥️🙏🏽 god bless you brother
The 12K-78 Like-Dislike ratio really says something. We love Michael Kiwanuka, that’s what.
Michael, just know that there are more people standing with you, than not…people of all colors and generations….❤
Hi Micheal, I just wanted to let you know that Ugandans are proud of you mate.
Continue to spread peace and tranquillity through your amazing music, I truly appreciate your craft and art of delivery.
His voice and music touches the deepest inside...like celestial.
This background excellent!
Go on please.
Never give up.
Thank you very much!
1 thing that I'm not happy about is that I've only just discovered this genius music ...My loss until now ....
Hauntingly beautiful!❤❤❤
Ufff Kiwanuka you are the best!!! 💯 Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱✌️
I discovered Michael during Covid lockdown. His music was instrumental (pun intended) in getting me through it. I thought I had seen every video of every song, but this one popped up for me tonight. How did I miss it before??????????
❤🎵🎵🎵 the setting, the music the artist, the voice the lyrics everything is perfect
I wonder if the designer of this museum had any idea how perfectly it would also serve as a performance space? Incredible!
This dude is got talent,I salute you Michael Kiwanuka listened in from Uganda. Love your calm serene soothing music you create.
Sounds like the introduction of a good ass movie or show...I love it!!!!
WOW
Dear God. I have tickets to see him in Madrid, and it keeps getting pushed further and further back, but I can't imagine it won't be worth the wait. This is incredible
💜💜💜 Hanging around on the edge of the world 🌎
Such a deep song Amazing as Always and with headphones it's so Amazing
Hope he wins the The Mercury Prize this evening.
Wow. He won!
Song makes me feel comfortable being alone...
So much soul
I'm heartbroken, I'm made whole, I'm born again.
I'm so glad I found Michael Kiwanuka. So moving and so talented. Love his music.
