2024 still here...this is one one the greatest songs EVER written and recorded...yes i said it...i havent heard it in a while and it popped up by itself....my heard jumped the same way it did the first time years ago, as soon as it started!!!
For me it's one of the song that I repeat playing until I get sick of it for a while then discover it again then repeat what I just did few weeks before 😂😂
ever you're listening If ever you're listening If ever you're listening If ever you're listening If heaven's a prison Then I am your prisoner Yes, I am your prisoner I messed up, oh I know now There's no room for me to play now Nowhere to dig my way out My vital organs are beating through My ribcage opened, my heart ballooned I, I've lost another one I'm on the floor trying to dress my wounds Address the fact it was mine to lose I, I didn't try enough And when I'm left without your love It could feel like a lifetime baby And somewhere in the start we had it alright Sunshine and blue skies, yes I call But now there's a darker blue I'm bleeding and you don't care The sun sinks and you're not there If ever you're listening If heaven's a prison Then I am your prisoner Yes, I am your prisoner I messed up, oh I know now There's no room for me to play now Nowhere to dig my way out My brother always said I'm a dreamer, dreamer You better watch out where this life will lead ya And he always said she's a keeper keeper She'll stay by your side when the rest will leave ya Well I'm looking on my left side, I'm looking on my right She's nowhere to be seen now when I close my eyes at night Dreaming, surely you can find me by the shore I'm singing so blindly, can you hear me? Can you find me? If you find me, wanna tell you I love you so I wanna tell you that love comes and goes That it comes and goes I hear the footsteps in the water and I feel the breeze I open my eyes and no words, no words I wish that I listened when I was in prison Now I'm just a visitor I came to the gates but you turned me away You asked me what am I waiting for I'm waiting cause I fucked up, oh I got thrown out I don't know which way to go now Don't know which way is home now If ever you're listening If heaven's a prison Then I am your prisoner Yes, I am your prisoner I messed up, oh I know now There's no room for me to play now Nowhere to dig my way out
I have never heard of him before. But he is on Solange's new album Seat at the Table song Don't Touch My Hair featuring Sampha -- So I checked him out. And I love him. I have been looking for new music. I don't like the main stream music b/c it has no substance. So I am building my music up -- Music for the Soul.
Sampha really makes me feel at peace and I really appreciate artists that can elicit such strong emotions from people they have never met. I am in love with all of this song!
Came back to listen to this and turns I out bottled a lot of feelings up in this song many years ago that I just accidentally unburied again. What a masterpiece.
Just came back from the xx's concert and Sampha was the opening act. So amazing, he set the mood so damn right and I am so glad that I've found him. He sounds EXACTLY like this, live. Beautiful voice.
Currently sad was letting a playlist play on SoundCloud and the slowed version of this song came on and I’m so grateful I’ve fallen in love with this song and it’s making me feel better. ❤️
One of the best surprises I ever got was finding out Sampha was opening for The xx back in 2017 in Singapore. Watching this live gave me a whole new appreciation for this song and Sampha. Had to get a physical record after seeing it live.
+Ben cook cool story bro. i love how kanye shines a light on these really unknown artists. i too have just heard of sample and also a really cool guitarist and songwriter called paul mccartney he is featured on the kanye song 'only one' and 'four five seconds' you should check him out
This song you NEVER get sick of.
Im 61 and as if today after hearing this song…I AM a FAN!!!
sampha is the really the most slept on artist in the last 20 years
2024 still here...this is one one the greatest songs EVER written and recorded...yes i said it...i havent heard it in a while and it popped up by itself....my heard jumped the same way it did the first time years ago, as soon as it started!!!
For me it's one of the song that I repeat playing until I get sick of it for a while then discover it again then repeat what I just did few weeks before 😂😂
I do the same thing!
Me too
I just rediscovered it and found a like I left for u like 2 years ago
Time to find it again
Same
2023 and still bumpin this banger
The sweetest part of this song
ilaallstar so true
Man hell yea!!! Words were nicely put together
Guys we need God! Please seek God & develop a relationship with God!God will never do you wrong 💖!
GODDAMN
his voice is truly a masterpiece within itself
Most beautiful voice I've heard in a long time
Is there a name for when do this washboard voice Crack thingy?
agree
better then sam Smith?
+Rexx Runna yeah better than Sam smith
Bob Marley.
ever you're listening
If ever you're listening
If ever you're listening
If ever you're listening
If heaven's a prison
Then I am your prisoner
Yes, I am your prisoner
I messed up, oh
I know now
There's no room for me to play now
Nowhere to dig my way out
My vital organs are beating through
My ribcage opened, my heart ballooned
I, I've lost another one
I'm on the floor trying to dress my wounds
Address the fact it was mine to lose
I, I didn't try enough
And when I'm left without your love
It could feel like a lifetime baby
And somewhere in the start we had it alright
Sunshine and blue skies, yes I call
But now there's a darker blue
I'm bleeding and you don't care
The sun sinks and you're not there
If ever you're listening
If heaven's a prison
Then I am your prisoner
Yes, I am your prisoner
I messed up, oh
I know now
There's no room for me to play now
Nowhere to dig my way out
My brother always said I'm a dreamer, dreamer
You better watch out where this life will lead ya
And he always said she's a keeper keeper
She'll stay by your side when the rest will leave ya
Well I'm looking on my left side, I'm looking on my right
She's nowhere to be seen now when I close my eyes at night
Dreaming, surely you can find me by the shore
I'm singing so blindly, can you hear me?
Can you find me?
If you find me, wanna tell you I love you so
I wanna tell you that love comes and goes
That it comes and goes
I hear the footsteps in the water and I feel the breeze
I open my eyes and no words, no words
I wish that I listened when I was in prison
Now I'm just a visitor
I came to the gates but you turned me away
You asked me what am I waiting for
I'm waiting cause I fucked up, oh
I got thrown out
I don't know which way to go now
Don't know which way is home now
If ever you're listening
If heaven's a prison
Then I am your prisoner
Yes, I am your prisoner
I messed up, oh
I know now
There's no room for me to play now
Nowhere to dig my way out
Thank you song 🎶❤️🙏🏻
I just started Insecure, this song was on episode 7 season 1. I immediately fell in love with this song! Yes sir! You are truly talented ❤️

thank you "Insecure" for giving us real music in every episode !!!
One of the most underrated artists...sad!
he's getting recognition from artists, now he just needs recognition from the public.
Naetr Thats true. I agree
I have never heard of him before. But he is on Solange's new album Seat at the Table song Don't Touch My Hair featuring Sampha -- So I checked him out. And I love him.
