Instruments allow for a manipulation of mood and atmosphere that's not possible with words. With vocals alone, the depth goes as far as your emotions, which is why bands like Kodaline are able to sound so good live.
Beautiful. Lyrics: I wouldn't be who I am, without you I wouldn't sing the way I sing, without you You fill my eyes up with color And you'll always be my mother I wouldn't be who I am I wouldn't be the son that I am Without a father who showed me I can face all the bullies at school You taught me how to keep my cool I wouldn't be who I am I wouldn't be the brother I am Without a sister who understands my ambitions and dreams We always were on the same team I wouldn't be who I am Without the people We don't see no more And all the imperfections on my skin The family tree, with its branches around me Oh, I just wouldn't be who I am I wouldn't be who I am I wouldn't be who I am I wouldn't be who I am I wouldn't be the human I am Without the friends that let me fly and help me land Our foundations go deep I'll always have a place to sleep I wouldn't be who I am
my dumbass was sat here thinking 'how the hell did they get the keyboard in there so quickly before Steve started playing ??' then I realised that it must have already been in the room and they just WALKED OVER TO IT... on a serious note though, this was not the song I thought I needed but it really is the song I needed at this point in my life, kodaline always seem to reflect my innermost thoughts and feelings, as if they can read me like a book. The list of kodaline songs I've shed tears to is growing ever longer and I'm so very thankful that their music can give me a release of sorts
I Wouldn't Be is honestly my favorite song from the EP. I always have goosebumps whenever I listen to it. This video simply just made it even better! Steve's voice is unbelievable amazing, it looks like he's been taking care of his vocal due to his smoking habit. And the harmonization, oh where do I begin, its ALWAYS perfect. I might have fallen in love with Kodaline just a year ago (I've listened to some of their songs years ago, All I Want was and still my favorite song ever) and every single day, every minutes, every seconds I was never unpleased with their performance. I wish, if I have the chance, to meet them and talk to them personally to tell them how their music saves me. They deserve every recognition they deserve, they're very talented. I love them so much.
me too! i love their songs, they're very important to me in real life. Almost everyday i hear at least one song from them, and these moments always made my days. Love these guys so much! I really care for them. Wish i can hug everyone and just say how powerful they're in my life.
SAAAAME. I love this song and new EP so much :'D (declared I Wouldn't Be as one my funeral songs the first time I heard it. haha!) Their first album was the only one I kept on replaying since that's the only one they have when I started listening to them. Don't know much about the 2nd album though, coz I didn't listen much.. but this new EP makes me excited for the 3rd album :'D I love it!!
I know Kodaline since their first album "in a perfect world". From the first listen to "one day", I liked. I just bought their latest album "politics of living", and once again I'm dazzled ... The voice of Steve Garrigan transports me! I can not wait for them to release their next album
3:05 this has to be my favourite bit. He sings this bit so passionately. You can really feel the emotion going into that singing. And what makes it extra special is that he actually doesn't do that in the original song. It added it for me. Love this channel because it just makes the songs even better! I've actually found amazing and talented singers through this channel. Can't wait to add to the list! 😄😁
I really think that you should do a cover like this as a single. And just have you guys singing with a piano. Do that amazing vocal at the end that you did in this version then you've got a hit!
After all the years I have listened to Kodaline, I have never fell out of this deep love I have for them. I have never felt this way towards a bands music before and I don't think I ever could again. Thanks for the raw emotion you give me guys; thanks for gracing us with your music.
Steve's voice. Oh my Lord! It's like listening to the smoothest velvet (if there is such a thing). Every song they've released so far are in my playlist. It seems like Kodaline can never do wrong in music. They are blessed with phenomenal gifts. Much love!
When I saw this song live in Portland omg I was almost in tears it was just amazing all the harmonies were just perfect if you ever get the chance to see them take it it is so worth it (get it)
Easily my favorite off of their new EP... This song has such a prevalent meaning in so many of our lives. I could only imagine how beautiful this would sound live in that very room... Those acoustics!
If I were to die young, with my parents and siblings and close friends still alive, I'd want this song to play or to be sung, I've put myself through so much because of my drug addiction, and I've dragged them down with me, but they've always been hopeful and supportive, thank god I'm sober today, and we are all facing life with its ups and downs together and strong.
Sent this to my mum and sister. I'm not always great with words or emotions.Thank you for helping me express how I feel towards them through this beautiful song x
This song hit me hard when I heard the studio version for the first time... This is so much powerful. Beautiful. Thank you and love from Chile, Kodaline and Mahogany ❤
It's always beautiful to hear voices compliment one another the way these do. It's very touching to the soul, because it speaks to the heart. BON CHANCE avec ça chansons.
a day with a video music by kodaline is always a good (and sad obviously) and beautiful day, thank you Kodaline and now what about the poll for the cover?
I keep listening over and over again. Like a kind of mantra. It gives mee goosbumbs. It is so beautiful and so true also. This song will stay in my list of favorites. Then I can listen it as much as I want.Over and over and over
Love from Nigeria. Since i discovered you guys in 2015, my life has gotten better. Yes i still feel depressed and shit but every time i listen to yall, i get reminded that there's a God somewhere cos voices and faces this beautiful and soothing must be from above. I love you guys and wish to watch y'all perform live someday.

This is how I imagined heaven would sound like.
Crying. In the office. This truly is beautiful. Thank you.
love your comment!
Acapella versions of songs always make them so much more intimate and genuine i dont know why

Steve Garrigan always manages to make my heart feel very full or very empty. His voice, it does something to me.
te juro
Absolutely same!!!
Most of the times , his voice gives me this endless feeling of sadness and makes my heart feel hollow!
Beautiful.
Lyrics:
I wouldn't be who I am, without you
I wouldn't sing the way I sing, without you
You fill my eyes up with color
And you'll always be my mother
I wouldn't be who I am
I wouldn't be the son that I am
Without a father who showed me I can face all the bullies at school
You taught me how to keep my cool
I wouldn't be who I am
I wouldn't be the brother I am
Without a sister who understands my ambitions and dreams
We always were on the same team
I wouldn't be who I am
Without the people
We don't see no more
And all the imperfections on my skin
The family tree, with its branches around me
Oh, I just wouldn't be who I am
I wouldn't be who I am
I wouldn't be who I am
I wouldn't be who I am
I wouldn't be the human I am
Without the friends that let me fly and help me land
Our foundations go deep
I'll always have a place to sleep
I wouldn't be who I am
Just wow. The four of them sounded like a choir of a thousand people.
word 🙏🏼
What a beautiful song,about being a human,a brother,a son,a father,a sister,a mother,a friend...
Just be a human...just be kind...
I closed my eyes and listened...and i felt it.
Mahogany just makes heavenly songs a million times better
How does this not have Millions of view man? This is too good
THE POWER IN STEVE'S VOICE WHEN HE GOES ON THOSE HIGH NOTES😘😘💗💗💗 AGHHH, I'M MELTING!!!
No lol

And I wouldn't be who I am without all this beautiful music and a channel like Mahogany Sessions to show me
Amazing location,
Amazing harmonies,
Amazing band. 😊❤

completely unrelated, but is that origins in your pfp?
Leah McGregor it’s the Freemasons eye n compass ☝🏻
I love these guys so much. Listening to their acoustic sessions is almost like a transcendental experience.
You can tell that they are singing this from a real place, especially Steve. Amazing song and performance
I really think that you should do a cover like this as a single. And just have you guys singing with a piano. Do that amazing vocal at the end that you did in this version then you've got a hit!
2:21 was a damn spiritual experience
Ode to family. Beautiful!
YESSSSSS, MORE KODALINE.
Can't get enough of his voice.
After all the years I have listened to Kodaline, I have never fell out of this deep love I have for them. I have never felt this way towards a bands music before and I don't think I ever could again. Thanks for the raw emotion you give me guys; thanks for gracing us with your music.
why are all their performances so beautiful????!!! i almost cried!

Imagine Kodaline & Mumford & Sons on a track together. The harmonies would be out of this world
Seen this Live in Manchester Apollo.
Goosebumps all over.
Thanks lads.
Thanks Manchester from Liverpool xx
Wow
this voice makes me feel so ... [NO WORD CAN EXPRESS IT]
Easily my favorite off of their new EP... This song has such a prevalent meaning in so many of our lives. I could only imagine how beautiful this would sound live in that very room... Those acoustics!
Very beautiful song. A life song!
O M G...
The best band there is 😭♥️
And these acoustic versions are so pure.
This song hits me every damn time
I'm crying, this is beautiful.
OMFG I didnt think this song could be more amazing
GOLD!!!
If I were to die young, with my parents and siblings and close friends still alive, I'd want this song to play or to be sung, I've put myself through so much because of my drug addiction, and I've dragged them down with me, but they've always been hopeful and supportive, thank god I'm sober today, and we are all facing life with its ups and downs together and strong.
I wouldn't be who I am... Without this song. 😭💖
The moment I heard this I know I want this to be played in my funeral.
This is so freaking beautiful!!!
Sent this to my mum and sister. I'm not always great with words or emotions.Thank you for helping me express how I feel towards them through this beautiful song x
And still listening to the song. And every time goosebumbs🙋
I have never been more grateful for RUclips's 'Loop' function

I can't stop crying. Its so beautiful.

There are tears in my eyes, that's how moved I am from their voices and this beautiful song.. Kodaline will forever have a special place in my heart
Beautiful song ❤
as if the feelings-downpour wasnt enough.. then there's the addition of the Lion King shirt
I wouldn't be who I am without their music💛
Love the irish twist they have for the whole rhythm and all for most of the song
Irish twist? What part of the song? They left out the bagpipes from the studio version.
well... they are an Irish band...
I keep listening over and over again. Like a kind of mantra. It gives mee goosbumbs. It is so beautiful and so true also. This song will stay in my list of favorites. Then I can listen it as much as I want.Over and over and over
Truly beautiful 💚
This is perfeeect... Love u Kodaline! ❤️
Best song makes me think about all the people routing for me and and wanting me to succeed. Please come to South Africa.
Steve’s high note in 3:07 omggg😍

It's so sad that Kodaline is so underrated!
From the first note this song held me captive. It's so beautifull it gives me goosebumbs and i keep listening.
