    I appreciate how open he was about how anxiety and depression affects him. And his voice…what a voice. He’s truly gifted.

      Yeah, he was self-soothing a lot, rubbing that chair. The honesty is beautiful. He is gifted indeed.

    I love me some Luke James! I don't why but when he sang it made me cry. Maybe because of what he said prior about feeling depressed & anxious. The little black boy that he's singing about is him. ♥️

    I love that he’s such a vulnerable and honest person. We all have anxiety and go through it daily but you can tell that music is his anchor. As soon as he sang he closed his eyes and sunk into it. He became comfortable and I love that he has that. We ALL need that! He’s a gift from God man!

  • @Larouge07

    Luke seems like a good guy. I would like to have a conversation with him. Just talk about the complexities faced and life as it is. It would be a great conversation and men need to have more talks like that. It would curve a lot of the depression that's induced by the feeling of being lost and alone.

    I love 💗 his humility And transparency 💫 What a beautiful Soul! I must been hiding under A rock 🪨 because I’ve never heard of this Young Man But I’m Glad 🙂 I Did! Because I Am A Sure Fan! I love 💗 the fact that when he Openly shared about his Anxiety 😟 And Depression That He Stated That He’s Cruising 🌊 On Fear! I Can Totally Relate! We Must Push 💨 Forward In Order To Get To The Other Side Of Whatever The Force 💨 Is That’s Holding Us Back Because There Is Something Far More Magical 💫 That Will Soothe The Soul! And Once Were There! There’s A Sigh To Self! And Our Higher Self Meets Us Right Where We Are And Welcomes Us With Open Arms! And Whispers To The Soul! I Was Expecting You And I Am So Glad You Made It Here!!! I Knew You We’re Coming! I Was Expecting You!!! 😊 Ase 💞
