Been following this man for years... I don't understand why he is not bigger, but that's what makes it even better at the same time. He's a gem of an artist. The ones that get it, get it... Amazing.
It took me a couple listens but the metaphor he’s using about people putting down their phones and just experiencing one another and not letting their lives pass them by…just A+ song writing. His lyrics are overshadowed by the sheer magic of his voice.
Allen stone you have kept fire in my marriage when it seems to b deeming at times but the atmosphere of your vocals soothe the moment where we leave this world into ture love again. Thanks bro see you in August.Yours truly Howard Simmons
I heard this coming from my daughter's room. I was spellbound by his voice, the melody and then the crescendo. At first I thought it was Maverick Sabre. Brilliant.
Another amazing song Allen. Thanks for sharing your gift. LYRICS: wanna be the first thing you reach for in the mornin and the last thing you put down at night I want my heart to be the only thing to charge it search for me frantically when I’m out of sight is it too much to ask is it too much to ask lay it down lay it down you can finish with your searchin i am waiting to be found lay it down lay it down lay it down keep me close enough to fit inside your pocket let me see inside the windows to your heart oh, if you’re looking for some love let me unlock it if you need another chance we can restart is it too much to ask don’t let this moment last lay it down lay it down you can finish with your searchin i am waiting to be found lay it down lay it down oh lookin through the cracks of a faded glass waving at the world bye your life goes passing by oh wake up on the side of reality open up your eyes and finally breathe lay it down lay it down you can finish with your searchin cuz i am waiting to be found lay it down lay it down if there’s one thing that is certain its in front of you right now lay it down lay it down you won’t find another version that will always be around lay it down lay it down lay it down oh lay it down
You can literally see his heart on his face, he’s feeling every increment of those words and he’s actually living it through this song alone...speechless wow this, is, music! He just literally retired so many major artist who can’t even hold a second without auto tune.
I have followed Allen Stone for years, I am my family and friends guru of finding yet unknown artists at small musical venues. the first time I heard him was at such a place. My mouth dropped, because I have seen and heard many talented artists, but not many instantly affected my musical soul, in such a way. I couldn't wait to tell my family who are very musically inclined and some are professional billboard topping artists/musicians themselves. I said "this guy is going to Blow Up", and I can't tell you how many agreeing phone calls I've received once they heard him. I share his musical gift daily as I drive down the streets blaring his music in my convertible, singing along at the top of my lungs😂, I also play his songs throughout the day at my place of business. Not one day goes by, without someone asking "who is that?". I am so happy to see him on such platforms as american idol, morning and late night shows. His kind of God giving talent is meant to touch others. Allen Stone = real music, exceptional talent, minus circus acts, and dog and pony shows.

2023 and I'm here listening to this and enjoying it like my first time! Please use a noise canceling, lights out and close your eyes while you listen to this song!
Wow I usually listen to this in the car so I dont ever see him actually singing. I thought this was a happy love song! After finally watching him perform though I understand so much more. This is a yearning solemn song aching for reciprocity. I love his work!
This literally brought me to tears! You have the most beautiful soulful voice that has the power to touch the deepest parts of a person's being!! I don't think I've felt any music as much I do yours especially this specific video! Please make your way to San Diego! Thank you for making music please don't ever stop! 🙏 🥰😌😌🎶🎶🎶
Can you do it just like this in April. Unbelievably beautiful. "If there's one thing that is certain , It's in front of you right now." That line gets me all choked up
Keep reading about Allen Stone, Allen Stone, Allen Stone ... And I am so happy to finally see what all the hype is ... And I agree ... SUPERB! Will be watching everything I can find.♥️
As much as I hate to be "that guy" the song is actually about laying down your phone (specifically about someone he's romantically involved with. The first few lines give it away the most
wow, allen i love how you enjoy what your doing for a living. please never stop, you are truly making an impact with your gift. I tweeted chris pratt sumit la17 and he liked it btw.

I'd like it better if he stays under the radar, it seems like artists stray away from what made them who they are after they go mainstream

Guitar on this version gives me mad purple rain vibes. Super ambient and highlights the powerful vocal. Chills
One in a million this bloke, not many possess such a talent both musically and songwriting. Very very special.
Man well said mate..I couldn’t have explained it better..Chur Chur (kiwi slang for I agree)👍🏽
Love how he said Bloke 😂😂
Been a fan since unaware. Dude is legit.
Me to
Me too. Love him
Allen stone you have kept fire in my marriage when it seems to b deeming at times but the atmosphere of your vocals soothe the moment where we leave this world into ture love again. Thanks bro see you in August.Yours truly Howard Simmons
I literally hear God speaking and singing to me through this song
One of the coldest artists in the game. Pure and raw God given talent!
This guy is quickly becoming my favorite current singer song writer
I heard this coming from my daughter's room. I was spellbound by his voice, the melody and then the crescendo. At first I thought it was Maverick Sabre. Brilliant.
I’ve heard this song 100 times, but this version brought me to tears. Incredible
My guy's talent can't be touched nobody like this guy exists today
OMG. Tears. I’m literally crying. So beautiful.
ladyabercrombie right there with you! His talent brings me to tears so often!
I wish this version was on the album, it is greytttt
Even here in a small town in South Africa, I’m obsessed with your music, your Gift! Truly inspirational!
WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT!?!?
Who gave you the RIGHT TO SOUND THIS GOOD?!?
I AM FLOORED
Stevie Wonder
So much passion. Cant get enough of live performances like this.
401s Finest he sounds better live than on Cd and he sounds great on cd lol 😂
Another amazing song Allen. Thanks for sharing your gift.
LYRICS:
wanna be the first thing you reach for in the mornin
and the last thing you put down at night
I want my heart to be the only thing to charge it
search for me frantically when I’m out of sight
is it too much to ask
is it too much to ask
lay it down
lay it down
you can finish with your searchin
i am waiting to be found
lay it down
lay it down
lay it down
keep me close enough to fit inside your pocket
let me see inside the windows to your heart
oh, if you’re looking for some love let me unlock it
if you need another chance we can restart
is it too much to ask
don’t let this moment last
lay it down
lay it down
you can finish with your searchin
i am waiting to be found
lay it down
lay it down
oh lookin through the cracks of a faded glass
waving at the world bye your life goes passing by
oh wake up on the side of reality
open up your eyes and finally breathe
lay it down
lay it down
you can finish with your searchin
cuz i am waiting to be found
lay it down
lay it down
if there’s one thing that is certain
its in front of you right now
lay it down
lay it down
you won’t find another version
that will always be around
lay it down
lay it down
lay it down
oh lay it down
Don't let this moment pass *
Sun Yun thanks for the lyrics 💜
My God. I'm heavily affected by this level of immaculate mastery. Kids should be played this in school. Superb
That thick vibrato and belt 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
His whole soul is pouring into the song I just love him so much ❤️
This song is so needed today. It was so needed for me. Lay it down..
Speaking of laying it down. Allen lays it down every time! Just got “Stoned” to the bone
My new favorite singer🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He didn’t have to snap like this. Such a quality performance. 👌🏾
Allen Stone is a gift...
I’m here for the millionth time to hear him belt and live in those lyrics 🙌🏾 what a song and don’t get me started on the performance dynamics he chose
My favorite singer, songwriter of all time, hands down 🥰
You can literally see his heart on his face, he’s feeling every increment of those words and he’s actually living it through this song alone...speechless wow this, is, music! He just literally retired so many major artist who can’t even hold a second without auto tune.
Best version ever
Please, Allen Stone deserves to be more recognized and needs to sing in any music awards!
Saw Allen live in Boston and he was incredible. So grateful for his talent and purity!
Just found out about him yesterday on the today show! Instant fan!!! So much soul and talent!

Great songwriter, great singer, great guitar playing , great man.
Goosebumps at 2:30!!!!

Another brilliant performance by Mr. Allen Stone!
How could anyone hit the dislike button? His voice is like butter melting slowly on top a stack of buttermilk pancakes.
Wow I usually listen to this in the car so I dont ever see him actually singing. I thought this was a happy love song!
After finally watching him perform though I understand so much more. This is a yearning solemn song aching for reciprocity. I love his work!
Full body chills every time! You are a legend, Al!
This makes me feel things when I don't even have things to feel
HOLY SHIT!! I'm stunned. In tears.. I love this. Thank you
I find this to be a very spiritual song. God imploring us to let Him in and fill our emptyness... Wow
What an AWESOME song and incredible voice. The world would do good to listen and do exactly what the message behind this song is.
My, my, my!!! To God be the glory!!! Simply phenomenal. Really touching and moving 🙌🏾🙌🏾💪🏽💪🏽
Allen has been my favorite for years always emotional love u

Another great song and the message only you can put it into a song.
Can you do it just like this in April. Unbelievably beautiful. "If there's one thing that is certain
, It's in front of you right now." That line gets me all choked up
This man's voice!! It's so pure and amazing!!
I love the prince vibe with his amazing voice!
You must not know or be a Prince fan this is an insult to Prince.🧐
Agree, starts off like Purple Rain.
So beautiful

Ms. Smith we have a fan page on Facebook... you are more than welcome to join us!! He is amazing 😉
Right
Me too ☺️ I cannot believe how I've missed him for so long. He fits it all in my opinion.
My obsession on repeat ❤️
Interpret this as God telling you to lay it down-your burdens. That within his love and closure, peace will come.
iNTEL Pain that’s so beautiful.
You said it!!!
I never thought of it biblically but you could be right as Allen is a preacher's kid.
As much as I hate to be "that guy" the song is actually about laying down your phone (specifically about someone he's romantically involved with. The first few lines give it away the most
this is masterful writing right here. i am literally crying over a song that's about his girl using her phone too much.
Damn that voice soars 🤯🔥🔥🔥
