  • Check me out!!

  • 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.

  • How do you thumbs this dow

  • This is calming n i juz started

  • 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?

  • john legend is a musical genius, he never disappoints me.

  • I remeber when they played this song on Grey's anatomy....It was sooooo emotional.

  • 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!

  • the guitar in this song is sick, it's like hendrix came back just to play over 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.

  • Love this song!

  • Dat dnt matta hes still da best n a mack no no no a mack= manwhore srry but hes juz fine where he is

  • Does anyone have the video where he performed this at the 2008 Celebration of Gospel event?

  • Simply beautiful...

  • this song really hits me dip in the heart and if you feel the the same just say so =)

  • one of my go to jams for a while....beautiful song

  • Comment removed

  • Best track from this album imo and one of the best Hendrix-esque guitar intros ever (Raphael Saadiq, who else?)

    thanks for posting.Peace out

  • @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

  • @fonkfiend hey thanks for the info dude, love this intro and this tune :) peace out.

  • This is so beautiful. I jus wanna cry, because this ir real. This is everyday life. Feels like u trap inside and wonders.

  • When I go.. I want this to be played at my funeral

  • When people go

    Why do they go?

    Why don't you choose me?

    But someday I know

    I'm gonna go

    I hope you're waiting for me

  • this song is so freakin awesome

  • 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

  • John Legend... I love his songs.... love it more!!!

  • Such a deep song

  • Is that what it is? I thought that it was my computer.

    Fucking Vivo.

  • very good video i love john legend :D x

  • the original video i have but i have deleted it accidently... if not ad upload le.. for all to see...

  • it's like hendrix meets buckley.

  • @natn0 Perfect description.

  • I love this song also John Legend is on fire

  • The lyrics in this song are so deep and emotional.

  • 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!

  • this song is beatiful

    havent heard something like this in a long time

  • This song is a beautiful prayer.

  • This is so Jeff Buckley!

  • Too bad I can't watch the actual video because VIVO has corrputed it and slow it down that it buffers every 5 seconds. Fuck Vivo.

  • @kawkhammer yea fuk vivo

  • i love this song so much!

  • 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.

  • i love this song its so peaceful and touching they played this at the yele thing for the ppl down in hati it matches perfectly

  • 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.

  • I love the guitar in the beginning.

  • "O God of love, peace, and mercy

    Why so much suffering?" love that part love you lord jesus!

  • lol i cant believe i only now discovered john legend...

  • what!!! wow... well better late than never

  • great song.

  • used to sing this to my girlfriend

  • i luv dis song its a good God song

  • this is my shyt and i feel like this sometimes show meeeee.....

  • i like the lyrics..mostly it reflects my life

  • this song is so sad :( but i love it!! <3

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!

  • one of my favorites of all time

  • I think it could be blues, and maybe a mix of Jazz.

  • Nice and Relaxing music......

  • What genre do you think this most falls under, Jazz or blues. I know most of you guys will say the obvious, and say R&B but work with me here.

  • To be honest I dont think this really falls under either Jazz or Blues, but if I had to choose I would say it has more of a blues feel.

  • the genre tht john legend does is called neo soul

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

    this song is really nice, by the way (even though i dont believe in a god). and i love john mayer's music.

  • I refuse to answer your question go back to english class!!!!!

  • Thank you John Legend!

    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.

    Thank you for posting AddyG22!

  • Beautiful song...one of those that you'll never get tired of, no matter how many times you hear it

  • 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.
