I understand where he's comin from, And I love the melody of this song, but this song shows clearly a lack of what he really needs which is a solid connection with God. And that's sad cuz I love John Legend. But God is Everywhere and he's always showing you if you're willing to Look! Don't look through the Lenses of this reality but His and you will always find him. Amen.
I love the personal message he sings to God, and this song is so relatable. Because each person's relationship to God is a personal one, and I don't think that any one religion can completely encompass that. Plus I truely believe that no matter what religion you choose to follow God is part of it. I mean, isn't God a part of eveything? Why not every religion?
Beautiful song, but He's not praising God! He's asking where is God among everything that's wrong with the world? He's tired of just keeping the faith. He HOPES there is a God. He hopes "when he goes" God is waiting for him, but he's not sure because God doesn't appear to be anywhere. He questions what's real and pleads for God to show up, but as always God doesn't. He DOESN'T feel God hence the title of the song! He can "keep the faith", but he'll still be singing this song!
I know i am not the only one who feels they have seen more than most have. I know i am not the only one who has lost it all... and I also know anyone who can relate to the sentences i just wrote has at some point, felt God. I am not a religous person ,but i am spiritual, and i do know this for sure, God shows up in strangest ways. I love this song.
@Fjord76 Actually.. that was Saadiq's longtime guitarist, and collaborator, Rob Bacon on the guitar on that song. Saadiq did co-write and co-produce. Rob Bacon wrote the main riff to the song. Didnt want u or anyone else to be mis-informed... God Bless
If you would like to read lyrics on screen to this song then please click my name and listen to it, it's my first video please watch it and give feedback
this song make even more sense now with the whole Haiti situation and global crisis in general. So many hearts are in despair as i write this....peace, love and happiness to all of mankind.
This is a very touching and close to the heart kind of song and i saw the actual video for it and everytime i think or even sing the song to myself start to cry im not trying to sound like a b****h but its a good ass song real talk keep up the good work John.....
this doesn't sound like John. it's a real nice song. But it just doesn't sound like John to me. John's key is lower, even his falsetto. Still, great song.
@gunkydood In rolling stone magazine he said this song is a homage to singer Jeff Buckley. He said Buckley was one of few that intimidates him as a singer
@MattyC555 Yeah Jeff Buckley was the first thing that came into my mind when I heard this song. I never heard any of John Legends stuff before but I like and I am a huge Buckley fan.
does any 1 kno d song were like for de whole video clip black singer sings a song into womens ear song is kinda slow nd its abt luv that no one loves her like he does and d women was white nd she was listening him 4 d whole time (bt ist nt ying yang twins d whispering song just incase) pls i cnt find it anywhere nd i dnt kno d title and the singer.. does any 1 kno it???
You are doing your part even if this is the only song you ever did in your career as its the most important one. This song causes me to tear up each time I hear it. I think about the story of "Fode Tounkara" and "Yaguine Koita" all the time.
All Africans across the world has a responsibility to help the continent.
awhhh that soo sad i didnt kno who they were but then i checked on google very brave kids they did it 4 the whole country ,they just wanted help ,change ,better life ,life is so unfair........
On 28 July 1999, Yaguine Koita and Fodé Tounkara were stowaways who froze to death flying from Conakry, Guinea, to Brussels, Belgium. Their bodies were later discovered in the aircraft's wheel bay. The boys were carrying a letter, written in imperfect French, which was widely published in the world media.

This song powerfully calls a couple associations:
Vocals - Jeff Buckley's "Mojo Pin"
Guitar - John Mayer Trio's "Another Kind of Green"
I am NOT saying this one bites those - it's clearly original. But to follow such fantastic predecessors is a mark of marvelous taste!

@ Romeo0787- i would file this under the blues. it has the same feel as a john mayer record.
