I´m really schnubbisch about Beethoven and I still agree, he would. He would, even if it was him alone in a big crowd of whatever plastic fans or people believing in "calmdown relax classical music" or people thinking, a woman shouln´t sing these words and like this.
I just celebrated 10 years clean October 28 this year. You can do this! The first year is the toughest, breaking the habit. I know you can do this, many have. ⚘💞🙏
Hi Ms Hawkins, I’m a Social Worker, who worked with the Sex Worker community, on Assertive Outreach, in Liverpool. Our Team were the best and our one doctor, who gave a damn and the Police who worked very hard to safeguard and protect these women and, at times, their young daughters, who had also been introduced into the Life, were all an honour and privilege to work with. This song and your interpretation brought me to tears, floods of them. The innocence at the beginning and the exhaustion at the end was done with so much raw emotion, compassion and resignation. My compliments to your Accompaniment - the arrangement was so simple and elegant allowing your power to reach the summit. You did these women/girls proud and conveyed a difficult story. May the God of your understanding, bless you and keep you xx
Such a heart felt song, being an EX addict myself, it resonates a lot of truth, to how I felt going through it...Mistakes were made along the way, and I found myself lying on the floor more than once...Thankfully I am through that period now. Unfortunately I fked a lot of good relationships up over it, (Meaning friends, family, and significant others, over in the process, of finding myself again.) It is a constant struggle to get through, but if you believe in yourself, greatness will come. Believe and keep hope in the darkest recess's of your core. Thank you Kaz for singing this song, For all of you and all of me, Believe it can get better and easier as time passes by. Peace to you all, stay safe, stay healthy and just breathe, keep moving forward, time is short here on this wonderfully fked up planet we call home. I wish the best for all of you.
7 years sober now 2020 after 45 yrs of alcohol & drugs, needles & meth, 2 years in prison on top of 30 yrs HIV & 7 yrs cancer. You could say this is my song, now, too.
35 years of doing dope, I quit in May, since then I lost my left leg , and then , another heart surgery , a month ago , and her music has helped me through it ALL ! I would give anything to watch her live and give her a huge hug 🥺
I scrolled past her many times never having heard of her. Something told me, give her a listen. I'm so glad I did. She has a phenomenal talent and voice !!! God bless her. 👏👏👏
You do not have to be a addict or alcoholic to appreciate this song. So many folks struggle to live and having that hand reach for them to lift them up is inspirational. One more fight! I love this song! It makes me fight one more time. I sugfer from anxiety and depression.
I don't wear lipstick and I've never done cocaine (or any drugs). I don't even drink. But this song damn near broke me. I'm sitting here crying. Such an amazing, beautiful song sung with such passion and conviction.
Dropping in to say thank you for all your amazing comments. I see them all. Be sure to sign up to my mailing list to keep up with things. Love to you all. www.kazhawkins.com/contact/
Kaz Hawkins I don’t think I’ve ever left a comment on RUclips and God knows It’s my local! Having just read your comment, wanted to say... you can’t imagine the emotions I went through and gratitude I felt when I discovered this here song and that Voice of yours! Serendipity, life, coincidence destiny all being Part of it. You saved a part of me. Thank you 🤍
Kaz Hawkins I can't stop listening to this song. Sometimes with tears rolling down my cheek. It's like an exact mirror to my own story and it's...wow. I don't even have the words. Thanks for sharing your gift.
Dear sweet Angel thankyou for singing this to me this am. You are what i needed to keep fighting against the chronic pain. Crying makes me feel better. Love to you!
My Story I've sat on many bar stools, today I sit on a pew. The bar stool led to a jail cell, today I'm something new. I've never been asked to walk a straight line or blow into a device, the choir's music sounds beautiful and the people around me smell nice! No one has thrown a punch at me for something stupid I've said. People get on their knees with me and pray with me instead. I still remember the bar stool and all it's misery, so I choose to sit in a church today, today my spirit is free. Amen
I come back here every 6 months, Just to hear you, Tell me, it'll be alright. You should come back to this, and help all the people that feel small...Make them big again. That's what we need to do.
Played it twice...3x...and just put it on a loop. As a struggling alcoholic, (2 months 10 days sober in 2020) this came home hard. Thank you for this amazing piece of light 😊
@@juliapierce369 thanks, dear. 2mths 17ds now😊. Some days are a breeze and others, I wish I could strangle myself 😂. Not giving up though! Have fun and stay corona-free!
This has brought me to tears. As a recovering drug addict, the lyrics and heartfelt performance truly spoke to me and touched my soul. I'm now in my 15th year of sobriety....one day at a time. Thank you for sharing, Kaz.
Proud of you Girlshine! Me, in my 23rd year now. Songs like this can bring healing, thank you Kaz. ❤ There's so much more to life than what came before.
@@nikiluv6336 - Congrats!!! I know it's not easy but it's so worth it. With every passing year, you get closer to the wonderful life that awaits you. Love yourself and be the best version of you because you deserve it. xxx
Omg thank you so much! I'm at work right now and you just made a terrible day a hell of a lot brighter. My roommate is dying and I was informed this morning of being evicted when he passes. I was freaking the bleep.out. then u commented. Thank God for you girl!!!! Again u are my rescue
A couple of times in your life, you'll hear a song that hits you like a truck. Lipstick and Cocaine is such a song. Elegance in its simplicity, a vocal and a piano. Beautiful rendering.
Kaz . I am a 61 year old man in Hawaii ... this song makes me cry everytime I listen to. I am so happy for you and thank you for existing and surviving to tell your story ... Hope I could see you in concert sometime since i visits Europe often
Wow Kaz what a heavy story It remembers me of the death of my girlfriend.. Whole day lipgloss and ofcourse cocaine. Last year she died at the age of 47 You put your whole deep feeling in the song and proud of you to tell us your sad story You are a very strong woman!!! Respekt!!!
I found you accidentally , my son walks into the room " What are you listening to mom? Sounds like a little angel!" And my son , 19 , does not usually like music at all! Your voice ..... AMAZING
Hallo Frau Hawkins Sie gehöhren mit Absoluter Sicherheit zu den 5 schönsten Stimmen und den Ehrlichsten Gesang die Ich in den Letzten 3 Jahrzehnten gehört habe . Neben Adele, Beth Harth Bruce Springsteen, und Alex Diel . Es ist einfach nur schön Ihren Gesang und das Gefühl das Sie damit zum Ausdruck bringen zu höhren. Man merkt das Sie das Lieben was Sie tun, danke dafür . Ein Gruss aus Deutschland Detlef
I keep coming back to this masterpiece of a song time after time.No words needed I'm not ashamed to say this song brings me to tears time after time I hear it.Thank you again for this amazing song wow.
This song touched me on a deep, deep level. Though I haven't had addictions issues, I have had mental health issues, and the awful, life-threatening thoughts that accompany those issues. The universal message of hope is palpable, and I thank you. I am so glad that you beat your demons.
Surprisingly similar. I honestly believe you dont have addiction without having mental issues that are to hard to handle ... I think it's why some people can just stop a drug and others loose their soul to it. Who would voluntarily go back to living in hell after they believe that a pill, shot injection, can make it all hurt less... it takes so long for it to become clear you just trade one problem for another.... its nearly impossible.
This song leaves me in tears every single time. I always feel like absolutely must listen to it over and over and over again every time I revisit it. So beautiful, painful, haunting, and victorious all at once.
Well , this is one of the saddest tunes I have ever heard , but it is a story that needs to be told ! You are an Angel , and you sing like one . Your voice is pure because it is real . Thank you for sharing your life with us ! I hope that it lightens your load ! Greetings from Akron , Ohio .May God be with you !
I have never been down this road but I can side with the broken people who have. I am a broken person too but in another way. Broken people are the best. An d now I am crying.
WOW .........what a song...........moved me to tears ...................... I once had 3 1/2 years sobriety and life was wonderful.......... the struggle is real..........i need to find sobriety again.
She is awesome, isn't she! So glad to have found her and her music!! She is quite the "uber" talented woman. So glad we all found her. I share her music where and when I can because everyone should hear her. 💜💜💜💕🌷
Makes me think of all the doctor's and staff and patients at the wards. Strangers who made me feel like I shouldn't have tried to get rid of myself like I did. People I had never met before then yet still mean the world to me to this day. Beautiful song.
Kaz I don't have an addiction, except for pop lol, but I do suffer from anxiety and major depression. I've listened to this song on loop since yesterday and everytime you say "it's just one more fight" I actually can feel that and it gives me hope. I just want to Thank you for that. You're beautiful !!! 🙏
Kaz,thank you for your courage and willingness to share your experience in such a healing way.I think 3 things when I watch this incredible video ; 1. I’m SO glad he made you well ❤2.Your song is a light for others to see which they can reach for and 3. To me, you’re also singing for all those who never got to hear the knock.If a song, like a mother’s love, can reach across time as a vibration, which I believe it can, this song will always do so.Bravo.🦋
Congratulations, Kaz! Glad you're here. I'll follow your advice and I'll buy your first album. I'm 60, a musician, a world traveler and have NEVER heard a song performed with such sincerity, sensitivity, depth, and with such gut wrenching pain and beauty. Thank you for your courage to stand up and reveal your testimony to the world. Your performance of Lipstick and Cocaine is incredible - I'm so glad you emptied your bucket of darkness and filled it with the sunshine you DESERVE! Peace, love, and keep weaving your tapestry for our lucky ears on RUclips. We want and need you here in New York! Lyn
Here i am again kaz fighting this disease of hell addiction. Hoping to be in treatment 2nd time please God last,yes i can do this just one more fight❤❤❤❤ its taken everything from me
Perfect song for my partner I cry so menny time I were going through it with my lover powerful my lover is doing fine menny heartbreak just to see some one you really love going through this it does have a big affect on you but it we’re a roller coaster now we’re just fine it’s true the words it you big love to kaz H lipstick and cocan
💪🔥♥️🙏 Thanks you for you commentary. You give your fight , energy and sensibility. Î love you and your magnifique Voice. I hope for you the better de the future and présent.🥰
Woman you’re beautiful and I’m glad you’re away from that. May you always be at peace and surrounded by light. We addicts have to lift the ones up that are dying cause the same was done for us.
Why is this amazing woman not famous?! My lord she is awesome...she has some pipes!!! I love her voice...She has a very beautiful soul...A very raw talent...beautiful woman God bless you❤️❤️❤️I can feel your pain...I'm a recovering addict myself...clean for 13 years now...(Opiates heroine)
I am not an addict I don't suffer from alcoholism or drug use but this woman's voice really moved me and it's quite beautiful and I'm grateful I discovered her stay strong everyone God bless
Fighting is the difference between being a victim or a survivor. I am also a survivor and I am thankful to be able to be here to share my story. FIGHT....You are not alone. ❤
Talent is the ability to hit a target most cannot; Geniality, however is hitting a target others cannot see. I had the opportunity to work with many artistis in my life as a celebrity costume designer. Prince is one of the references i was most proud to work with. Small in figure, but the grandeur he exuded would make giants feel insignificant. You are one of those people, that i am sure anybody around you can tell they are in the presence of greatness. Everything about this song and your performance is touching perfection in a flawless inexplicable way. All we can do is savour and break inside mesmerized. Discovering you, somehow in a very simple way, has made my life better. God Bless you!
I can think of no mortal words. No description can define this. To touch a soul in another person so deeply. To remind them of life so precious. Thank You
I lost all. This song makes me cry i here you Kaz was there also. this song is so emotional for me... Been sober nearly 20 yrs lost all .. What at the bottom could not get any lower. I yelled i want to leave and the person that gave me birth saved me and gaved me life again .... Life is good i Love life and Kaz
☆_Yes, life is difficult, but the things we go through make us strong people to overcome the pressures of life. How wonderful it is to love life. That is a beautiful feeling when you overcome the pressures_❤⚘
Throughout my career I have had the privilege of meeting many people who have suffered from depression, anxiety, substance misuse or some form of abuse. It's hard to hear their stories at times but everyone needs a shoulder. This song is dedicated to all of the brave and beautiful souls who have shared their struggles with me. Thank you Kaz for giving people strength and hope 🙏🏻 x
The lyrics of the songs burn themselves directly from eternity into paper through her pen, she brings a melodious sound to the last corner of every soul, she lives the full score of all feelings from the innermost part of her being. She can touch me deeply and lastingly, even this unique gift to get under my skin, where others may only touch me gently and superficially. The power of her voice is a revelation. Dear Kaz Hawkins - Thank you for your being and becoming.
Serpen Tarius Wish I was as eloquent as you. Love this song so much. So personal to a traumatic time in my life this year. I lost my brother to drugs. 😢😢
Dear Tracey, your brother has made his personal way, this is and is his personal freedom to be and to become, he certainly didn't want to cause you the pain you are feeling now with his very own way, he chose suicide, his choice in the here and now for his very own being and to end himself... He will have chosen to be free and will never have had the intention to build a prison out of his decision... In the cathedral of your heart, let a light always burn for him, so that he may move towards you out of the darkness of his own choice in case of need. To continue to communicate with you in an appropriate form I ask you to use serpentarius26@gmail.com... if you want to do that for yourself...... Serp
This song brought absolute Tears to my eyes, I felt every word, every note, and felt the emotion your poured into this song. Just Wow..You are truly a blessed talent.
Dear lady kaz, thank u for continuing to sing thru all the things you do and have done. You help me see the job of a performer - to reach, to teach, to enfold.
Magnifique voix qui me transporte, cette chanteuse mérite la plus haute marche du podium, merci de venir en France je vais pouvoir vous applaudir, vous êtes une grande Dame de la chanson. ❤
I was in a loveless relationship for 20 years and I was the last one to find out ! I'm still in that relationship and I understand what it means to be alone with a big hole in my heart . This song sums it up really. Thanks kaz for putting to music the pain I feel ❤️
This is why I love RUclips. It allows me to find Wonderful, talented people like you that I probably would never have discovered if I was relying on mainstream sources. You are an absolute joy. Thanks for sharing your incredible talent! Big love from Tasmania.
I'm 13 years sober from drugs...This song hit me deeply...I love her voice...she is singing her pain like Beth hart does...God bless ALL addicts...if you are an addict and reading this...please know...When you're ready...You can get clean/sober...BELIEVE IN YOURSELF....LOVE YOURSELF....DO IT FOR YOU!!! I know how hard it is...I know the thought process..."I will just taper down"..."have one less pill/drink"....Please don't wait...Get the help you want and need...Don't wait to hit rock bottom...Rock bottom is DEATH...Do it now!!! You are so worth it...I love you...if you need to talk...Leave your number in my comment section...or inbox me...I will call u as soon as I get the message...I will help you as long as you're ready...I pray for all addicts...if you just want prayers sent? Leave your name...I will pray for you...God bless us all🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋 Ps...If you don't believe in God?? I don't care...keep scrolling...I'm not forcing my religion on ANYONE...so keep the nasty comments to yourself...you won't change my mind about GOD❤️❤️❤️❤️😉😉😉😉
Maybe no one wants to change your idea of God dear (: . . . . It's nice to see that there are ppl like you who are ready to help those who are seeking out. God bless 💓💓💓
for all of you beautiful souls fighting today in 2022. We see you we hear you and pray for you. I've been there. "you can do it. just one more fight." day by day my loves❤
Beethoven said, "playing a wrong note is insignificant. Playing without passion is unforgivable."
Beethoven would cry with you.
I love you
:)
Exactly
Couldn't have said THAT any better!!💜💜
I´m really schnubbisch about Beethoven and I still agree, he would. He would, even if it was him alone in a big crowd of whatever plastic fans or people believing in "calmdown relax classical music" or people thinking, a woman shouln´t sing these words and like this.
That is the most simplistic words yet the meaning holds so much power and beauty
I'm fighting just now, so far, I'm winning 👌🙏💖
GREAT!! You can do this... ;)
Youre gonna make it

Even as a non-drug addict it nearly made me cry. We all have something we‘re addicted to and that may destroy us slowly.
It makes me cry when I heard this the first many times and I 'vê never been an addict
❤ that's so true....😢
7 years sober now 2020 after 45 yrs of alcohol & drugs, needles & meth, 2 years in prison on top of 30 yrs HIV & 7 yrs cancer. You could say this is my song, now, too.

My Story
I've sat on many bar stools, today I sit on a pew.
The bar stool led to a jail cell, today I'm something new.
I've never been asked to walk a straight line or blow into a device,

3 yrs sober myself ,God is Amazing
Powerful!
Beautiful
I'm confused. Are you saying you never drove drunk and never fought when you were a drunk, or that you did before but don't now in church?
Wow! Reading that just hit me hard. I'm crying. Thank you for such poignant words
This song literally rips my heart out in a good way
I come back here every 6 months, Just to hear you, Tell me, it'll be alright. You should come back to this, and help all the people that feel small...Make them big again. That's what we need to do.
Played it twice...3x...and just put it on a loop. As a struggling alcoholic, (2 months 10 days sober in 2020) this came home hard. Thank you for this amazing piece of light 😊

Ok...crying now. A good cry never hurt anyone. It means you can "feel" and you can "heal".
I am free from the shackles that bound me too. HALLELUJAH!!
Being that vulnerable and exposed is painful and surreal. My FREEDOM flag flies...nobody can take that away...no one.

WOW .........what a song...........moved me to tears ...................... I once had 3 1/2 years sobriety and life was wonderful.......... the struggle is real..........i need to find sobriety again.

One of the most emotional performances I have ever been privileged to witness
Kaz I don't have an addiction, except for pop lol, but I do suffer from anxiety and major depression. I've listened to this song on loop since yesterday and everytime you say "it's just one more fight" I actually can feel that and it gives me hope. I just want to Thank you for that. You're beautiful !!! 🙏
funny how a song can move a man to tears ,so so deep so sad so beautiful ,I NEVER get tired of hearing you .
thanks kaz.
love everything you do .
Qué hermosa versión querida Kaz. Yo solo quiero felicitarte, solo decirte gracias por tanta belleza.
OMG tears dripping song, so much feeling and emotions .
Kaz,thank you for your courage and willingness to share your experience in such a healing way.I think 3 things when I watch this incredible video ; 1. I’m SO glad he made you well ❤2.Your song is a light for others to see which they can reach for and 3. To me, you’re also singing for all those who never got to hear the knock.If a song, like a mother’s love, can reach across time as a vibration, which I believe it can, this song will always do so.Bravo.🦋
I love Kaz's voice...she moves me more than any other artist has. The world needs to hear her voice & lyrics...love & compassion is what we all need😢❤
Congratulations, Kaz! Glad you're here. I'll follow your advice and I'll buy your first album. I'm 60, a musician, a world traveler and have NEVER heard a song performed with such sincerity, sensitivity, depth, and with such gut wrenching pain and beauty. Thank you for your courage to stand up and reveal your testimony to the world. Your performance of Lipstick and Cocaine is incredible - I'm so glad you emptied your bucket of darkness and filled it with the sunshine you DESERVE! Peace, love, and keep weaving your tapestry for our lucky ears on RUclips. We want and need you here in New York! Lyn
You are a Beautiful soul

This has to be one of the most moving songs ever, every time I hear it.Why isn't this lady on every radio station around the world,this is music.
Woman you’re beautiful and I’m glad you’re away from that. May you always be at peace and surrounded by light. We addicts have to lift the ones up that are dying cause the same was done for us.
Been clean 19 years. Been sober 8 years. This song put chills in my whole body. Such a beautiful song. Thank you.
Why is this amazing woman not famous?! My lord she is awesome...she has some pipes!!! I love her voice...She has a very beautiful soul...A very raw talent...beautiful woman God bless you❤️❤️❤️I can feel your pain...I'm a recovering addict myself...clean for 13 years now...(Opiates heroine)

Talent is the ability to hit a target most cannot; Geniality, however is hitting a target others cannot see. I had the opportunity to work with many artistis in my life as a celebrity costume designer. Prince is one of the references i was most proud to work with. Small in figure, but the grandeur he exuded would make giants feel insignificant. You are one of those people, that i am sure anybody around you can tell they are in the presence of greatness. Everything about this song and your performance is touching perfection in a flawless inexplicable way. All we can do is savour and break inside mesmerized. Discovering you, somehow in a very simple way, has made my life better. God Bless you!
I can think of no mortal words. No description can define this. To touch a soul in another person so deeply. To remind them of life so precious. Thank You
Thank you ❤️
I love ya Kaz, hands down, your voice and song writing, touches my soul in soooo many ways,
Words can't even describe how deep and moving this performance is
OMG her voice and this song is an operation on the open heart ❤
I lost all. This song makes me cry i here you Kaz was there also. this song is so emotional for me... Been sober nearly 20 yrs lost all .. What at the bottom could not get any lower. I yelled i want to leave and the person that gave me birth saved me and gaved me life again .... Life is good i Love life and Kaz
☆_Yes, life is difficult, but the things we go through make us strong people to overcome the pressures of life. How wonderful it is to love life. That is a beautiful feeling when you overcome the pressures_❤⚘
Throughout my career I have had the privilege of meeting many people who have suffered from depression, anxiety, substance misuse or some form of abuse. It's hard to hear their stories at times but everyone needs a shoulder. This song is dedicated to all of the brave and beautiful souls who have shared their struggles with me. Thank you Kaz for giving people strength and hope 🙏🏻 x
The lyrics of the songs burn themselves directly from eternity into paper through her pen, she brings a melodious sound to the last corner of every soul, she lives the full score of all feelings from the innermost part of her being. She can touch me deeply and lastingly, even this unique gift to get under my skin, where others may only touch me gently and superficially. The power of her voice is a revelation. Dear Kaz Hawkins - Thank you for your being and becoming.
Serpen Tarius Wish I was as eloquent as you. Love this song so much. So personal to a traumatic time in my life this year. I lost my brother to drugs. 😢😢
Dear Tracey, your brother has made his personal way, this is and is his personal freedom to be and to become, he certainly didn't want to cause you the pain you are feeling now with his very own way, he chose suicide, his choice in the here and now for his very own being and to end himself... He will have chosen to be free and will never have had the intention to build a prison out of his decision... In the cathedral of your heart, let a light always burn for him, so that he may move towards you out of the darkness of his own choice in case of need.
To continue to communicate with you in an appropriate form I ask you to use serpentarius26@gmail.com... if you want to do that for yourself......

I am not eloquent, I am a person with body, mind and soul It writes me .....

Magnifique voix qui me transporte, cette chanteuse mérite la plus haute marche du podium, merci de venir en France je vais pouvoir vous applaudir, vous êtes une grande Dame de la chanson. ❤
I thought I was alone when that feeling overwhelms me. Now I have this miracle Kaz Hawkins to hold my head on her shoulder, and I'm not alone.
God i love this woman
I can't think of the words to express my love of this song, it means so much....................
I was in a loveless relationship for 20 years

I'm still in that relationship and I understand what it means to be alone with a big hole in my heart .
This song sums it up really.
