Josiah Leming New Song #2 "Body and Mind" and "Stand by Me"

[powherpuffable]

YES. THANKS JOSIAH for sharing with us.

[GhostTech100]

Man he needs to go back to Karaoke.I do not know how he made it this far ouch.

[Lukesaunders17]

@GhostTech100

Dude, your a freak that believes ghosts follow you... Don't bag on a kid that puts his heart into music. Thats true talent right there, not ghost hunting.

[MzBra66]

Well, thats just it, he was singing w/ all his heart, sweat and tears. He fought for where he is, and it shows in this performance!

[basketcase5295]

his stand by me hadn't improved since idol. the point of it, was to give a big F U to idol and show his fans love him. haha. hes with warner bros now so they can suck it

[lmpulse]

That was so classy. Well done Josiah lol.

I mean it was far from perfect, but that's the point of artists like him. They aren't perfect, they are big bruised bleeding hearts, alive and ugly and beating on the stage. When it comes to music, flaws are perfection.

[basketcase5295]

well said.

[jocelynemartinez12]

hes great (:

[ANBU625]

does he have a album out yet.

[theeflea3]

he has two EPs on itunes. and idk about an official CD yet because the dates keep changing. but i think i read somewhere that it's supposed to come out in January?

[basketcase5295]

March

[ashattackyou]

dude that guy can suck it, his stand by me was FANTASTIC! totally unique :]

love it!!

[catarina0509]

he has major piano skills

[dugw15]

His song is excellent.

His Stand by Me was pitiful.

Stay at the piano, Josiah.

[fallencmd]

agreed

[Ryanrre45]

I agree also.

[ArianaRadhika43]

lyrics i want lyrics!!!!

[hungryhippos41]

myspace look at his myspace!!! :)

[appledancer]

Beautiful.

[josiahlover]

): this song kinda mkaes me cry everytime i hear it. this kid amazes me. i wanna marry him with my all. he and i woulld be perfect. lol just a fantasy but yeah i love you josiah leming!

[jake1o]

no the description says he was losing his voice not drunk haha

[millardfillmore788]

i love you josiah. he sounds so good when he sings a cappella :D

[Ballerstatus51]

wtf? have you ever thought of the fact that he might be saying thank you for them listening to his song and being a fan? why wait a minute till after the song is over to say thank you? ha but whatever Josiah is personally one of the best song writers ive ever heard and im sure hes workin up some mad shit in the studio right now.

[TearsAesthetic]

haha sooo fucking tru man

im in the same boat

haveta stop

[roughryder5]

the second song was kinda.....

[smarticlegirl]

i agree......

[dyingangel259]

I hate that everytime something is "bad" is when I actually love it...He hit a bad note but I still thought it was ridic. good. Unique in a way you don't hear everyday

[jin098]

OMG!!!! I was at this concert!!! Yay!!! JOSIAH LEMING ^.^

[AvaGirl10Roses]

Wow.. the audience sucks at clapping. XDDD

[torigasm10593]

god hes so hot.

and hes a really good singer.

i don't really like him singing this though.

but thats okay<3

[jennapahl08]

HE'S SO EFFING HOT!

OH MY !

[shisksjis]

haha i love how hell never give up on the stand by me...im a big fan

[cocalico]

Ok people saying the stand by me was dreadful.You have to remember his voice is shot after singing so many shows

[pgfizzleboy]

No offense, I really like his music, but that Stand By Me was just not good.

[TCrowther10]

wtf :S, stand by me was dreadful, omfg, thats shit as fuck, David A is so better, are all the crowd tone deaf :S?

[kikkeli012345]

he reminds me of Janis Joplin and Jimmy Hendrix. he sings with the same passion as they did. he puts all of himself in the words/songs. and I really love it!

[fustah86]

exactly,it fails me that people want pitch perfect vocals with shite for lyrics, and then cant stand someone mess up vocally even though the passion level is ten times that of someone like say David A?

[mromaha]

this video is NOT good but josiah leming is good!!!!!

[rolandoreyes]

HEY, GUYS ITS ME jOSIAH. i AM UNDERCOVER WITH THE NAME. wOW, YOU HAVE THIS VIDEO UP.... I WAS SO TIRED HERE. aNYWAYS WRITE ME....

[mjr9303]

keep it up your closer now than you were yesturday fella.

[supermario00]

ya ur not josiah leming

[noname5555565]

He's a decent piano player and a decent lyric writer but he butchered stand by me.

[Fillipinoskater]

i'm so glad that he did not go through in american idol.

hes too great for them.

hes revolutionary.

the only thing im worried about,

is when he comes out with his CD, everyone will know about him, and even these little kids who dont understand the real quality and beauty of his lyrics and singing.

but i'm glad that he will make money, and become something we wants to be.

5/5

[windburn333]

all josiah video have a 5 star vote rating...hmm...

[jziskid]

i think the piano is fantastic and the lyrics are just so-so for both songs

[carmodykc]

how can you judge lyrics, when they are written with his feelings, unless you have lived his life there is no way to truely feel them, they are beautiful

[blueblueblee]

p0oor chap, his voice went.... i like what he does with stand by me though... people think he cant sing it when really all he's doing is putting his own josiah spin on it, which i actually prefer....

[ostrichcake]

you can tell he lost his voice big time, lol

[ostrichcake]

im a big josiah fan but this was not his best...

[JseigristJ]

lol supermario lol

[jennak1629]

Josiah is a beautiful thing.

he's so emotional and moving and perfect.

[supermario00]

he still can't sing stand by me lol

[laurarivs1]

yes, so funny!!!!!!!!!!

[fxxkfayce]

He got the words wrong on the Stand By Me part.

And he sang that horribly.

The first song was okay.

[cmc3208]

your the man

[laurarivs1]

he could be a good performer, but he can not sing.

[zzzboredzzz1]

FYI he lost his voice before this performance and he still sounds amazing, so back off.

[hetherandkimkshow111]

wow how could you even say that he is so good you need to get your ears checked not to be mean or any thing but yeah

[Kallygirl0921]

Even tring to sound bad he's good i loved him and he should have been in the final 2 instead of artuleta but he didn't prepare and unfortuniatly there were better people that day. But i stand behind him 200000000000000000000000000000­00000000 percent and wish him luck. He's hot and i hop he tries out for american idol again because he can and will defintly go places. YOU RULE JOSIAH

[ihartjude]

dear, he did way better without moving foreward on the show. to be honest, he wouldn't have been as popular if he hadn't got kicked. and he deserves everything he has. josiah rocks, epic song, and peace out.

[Kallygirl0921]

your probibly right but it doesn;t mean he didn't deserve the spot

[ihartjude]

but what you're not understanding that if he would have won he would have been a nobody like the more recent winners who are fighting for there fame. who bought taylor hicks album? not alot of people. the sympathy and incredible talent pushed his fame to the eyes of millions and that's all that's important,because ultimately,that's what he wanted.

[Kallygirl0921]

no i DO understand what your saying i'm just saying that his voice was SOO good he derseved the final 2 more than david a. But i do understand what your saying about how if he had he may not have been AS famous.

[LauraandMoreLaura]

Was this like a big show, or a small one?

[amandaxx10998]

can somebody please make a tutorial for this?

[palosi2]

the most unequivocal talent and absolute perfection I have ever seen. Josiah Leming is my inspiration.

[cstanler]

I like the passion, and I am a big Josiah fan. But the part at 3:47 is just a little over the top. You can even here the crowd laughing.

[2niteisnow]

yeah i agree but he reminds me of the guy from coldplay..you know when he gets all into it and he acts like that..idk i still love him!

[thecrimescene]

...I Adore Him...

[jadler23]

Dude, this guy is trash. Go back to sleeping in your car. Your voice makes me cringe...you crack on anything resembling a "high" note. Never try out again for something serious...stick with karaoke at bars with drunk people.

[bessiebessbess]

If i could've just grabbed his kiss..

it'll last forever..

aaah...

truely amazing... i mean AMAZING! :D

[amandaxx10998]

passion, true passion.

[mynameisflubber]

Josiah you are amazing. How you put so much passion in each song is truly wonderful. You will always be my favorite! and I like how you sing stand by me no matter what anyone else thinks. It's your voice that makes me love it. Keep doin what your doin. Much love.;)

[jonizzle112]

i think his voice still sounds good even when he is loosing it. The rawness of it is pure passion.

[nata3211]

You are totally rigth!!! he is so talented and COOL, and of course really hot!

[scifigeek]

Gah! He sounds so British.

He sounds like a mix of Coldplay and Snow Patrol oh and a little James Blunt mixed in.

[vivi13031993]

i could just marry him right now

[pseven21]

stand by be was worse than on idol

[MuizeekPhanahtic]

"Body and Mind" is a special new song unveiled by Josiah that would no doubt please all his fans. It has so much involved with it; touching piano playing softly unravelled as the angst of the love-tale gone wrong slams through the microphone. His ability to express himself so controlled/convincingly is remarkable. "Stand By Me" was a treat to have at the end; while his take on it still remains controversial I like that he interprets the yearning lyrics in his own eclectic fashion! Much PROPS! A+

[bballcutie11]

and he's super hot!

[MissJedi]

I know what you mean, AI4ILiFE. I know that he's not singing it very well, but at the same time... Josiah has this thing about him that you can't help but love. His voice and style is amazing.

[AI4ILiFE]

i know deep down he is killing "stand by me", and i know ppl will think im an idiot but no matter what, i like his version the best....is that weird? David A sang it really well, but somehow i just cant get over how much i love josiah's voice. Im a big fan of both of them, and i wish Josiah well, and I hope David wins AI.

[ImTheNeighbor]

he was losing his voice, but yet still never fails to amaze

[mannequin1]

the thing about him that separates him from many other singers, especially those that seem to make it big, is that his singing, is a representation of something internal, rather then just some, bland, external crap

i think thats what i wanted to say haha

its confusing

whatevs man

PEACE

[BenjaminFranklin2u]

What I love about him is that he writes his own music. So everything he sings he knows, he feels. Thats what makes his songs so good, cause they are so genuine. I Wouldn't buy too many covers of his, but I Love HIS music. He is an AMAZING song writer, and an ok singer. Reminds me of Bob Dylan

[baller312331]

josiah.. quick little adivice for you.. no more singing "stand by me" your just killing the song.. one of my all time favorites just not when your screaming it or what ever you doing to the song.. stick to "to run" and "one last song" those are great songs for you even "grace kelly" is another good one.

[lmaostrnoob]

His singing is weird, its like really good, but sometimes its like off tone, like doesnt go with the flow, i dont know its confusing!

[jckasule]

I agree. But i really like his voice and i reckon, with a couple of vocal lessons, that'll be sorted.

[bballcutie11]

when did he sign a deal with WB? That is awesome! Josiah is amazing. I love you so much. I could listen to you songs forever!!!!!

[AI4ILiFE]

quite a while ago actually. i think a few months ago.

[jaywallace23]

his "Stand By Me" version is still rough... he needs to work on it more.

[basketcase5295]

I totally thought he would have aced after bringing the song back up lol..but i guess not. hes still a great singer

[jaywallace23]

well with a record deal from WB, no need to try and ace "Stand By Me," no?

[basketcase5295]

exactly haha. take that american idol douche bag judges.

[hemiphil81]

ive been playing guitar for 15 years and jamed with some awesome bands,when i saw this kid has talent,this kid has talent and the girls will love him and buy his cds.hes a great song writer and vocalist.

[BenjaminFranklin2u]

very true.

[Maka1993]

Loved the first song. It was very emotional and meaningful. Amazing josiah.

Your voice sounded like James Morrison at the higher notes, which is very, very rare today. Very, very, VERY nice!

Ehhh, "Stand by Me" was ok, just ok, it wasn't THAT BAD like on AI (no offense) but it wasn't amazing either. But no worries; you still rock!

[brian77731]

holy crap his stand by me sucks, he needs to learn whats his strength and his weakness. And his vocal is def his weakness..

[CJGPhotography]

The Stand By Me performance was a joke at the end of his concert. He did it the same way he did on AI just for fun.

[supermanwannabe111]

common seriously now i know you're just being overly generous because your a fan.. i am not saying that hes not a passionate artist.. im just saying hes no where near half the talent on youtube that will never be discovered simply because they cant get publicity.. and this guy is only getting recognition because he has a heartfelt story about coming from nothing and trying to make something of himself.. i guarantee you he wont make it anywhere.. and yes he butchered stand by me, a great classic.

[CJGPhotography]

You have an opinion and that is fine...No major label will ever sign somebody because it is just a good story...that will be forgotten, but talent won't. Warner Bros. Records signed him for his talent. Have you actually ever listened to all of his music?? Yes he got some exposure on American Idol which excellerated the process, but he would have gotten signed eventually anyways. You sound like a musician that has never made it and you are jealous!

[supermario00]

ahh his stand by me was still kind of crap lol

[supermanwannabe111]

no to be a dick but i dont think ur as talented as you think you are

[jaywallace23]

he's talented enough to spend 6 minutes of your life watching him.

[CJGPhotography]

Warner Bros. Records disagrees with your comment. They would not sign somebody without much talent...open your ears. He was sick that night, so his voice is raspy, but he is a very talented musician!

[bluebleau]

i agree! he's really2 talented, and actually i kinda like his raspy voice...the thing is, whatever he sings, i'll love it..=)

[foundthevelvetsun7]

LMAO Josiah!!! That's hilarious how he would do that again... Half of it seems like a "I showed you!" and half seems sorta just like laughing at himself for screwing up the first time. I think he does realize he didn't do the best when he did it on AI, because of things he said afterwards. But yeah, what a treat for people who were there! Sounded like you guys were having fun!

Peace.

[foundthevelvetsun7]

Oh and it was kinda difficult to watch after you turned the camera sideways... Just a tip for future reference, lol. (Might work for pics but on YouTube it's sorta hard to turn your head sideways...)

;-)

[CJGPhotography]

I agree...lol this was the first time my wife used the video function on her camera and she thought it would always stay upright...we know now!

[kcyrox]

Thanks so much for putting this up, I love his songs and its great to have updates on him

he has a great vocie and great hair lol

rock on

-Kacey

[littlematt91]

sounds like in some parts he is about to cry. God I love Josiah

[bballcutie11]

Josiah you are so amazing. Every song is good. Don't ever stop. I love the stand by me, it's great. I love you;)Can't wait for the Album.

[LennonxImagine]

I love josiah.

[nata3211]

OMG... Im in love of this guy, His voice, his talent!!!! he is just amazing! Simon, Paula and Randy make a BIG mistake! but Im sure that Josiah is better with Warner than with AI.

[BreValintine]

Beautiful song. What surprises Josiah has for us. How talented you are!

[untoronczyk]

Amazing...there are no other words.

Body and Mind is such an awesome song and I loved, loved, loved the a capella Stand By Me, I've loved it since the very first time I saw it (yes, on american idol) judges didn't like it cuz they don't know true talent even when it kicks them in the face.

Josiah you are the absolute very best singer/songwriter I have seen in many years. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with the world.

[Dlynnda]

His songs are amazing. I am just in awe.

[justbombin]

yea he has no stamnina in his vocie, the reason why he is losing it is because he just needs to keep singing. good none-the-less

[viviansbasket]

this song is so good I almost cried when I heard it. I love the lyrics "we were forgot, and we never forgave"

[conwayd]

He was a little hoarse from a cold but the song is excellent. The words are on his MySpace page. Good work Josiah!

[S0xPRiSoNeR]

I love this song, he's so talented!

[sham220]

i love him!

but his little spazzy moment durring the first song was a little scary. lol. still doesnt change the fact that i love him to pieces.

[wowbenji]

that is, song meanings dot com (no spaces) and type in his name for discussion of meanings of his songs I am calendar girl there

[wowbenji]

it's funny as so many songs are love songs but I guess he is original. I would love to see him do political issues of our day type songs like waiting on the world to change. I feel plaines overhead is about a married couple in Iraq as the bombs are falling at the start of the war..for more on this, go to song meanings site

[viviansbasket]

I really don't think it is about that. Josiah usually writes aboout personal experances

[wowbenji]

wonder why he doesn't want to do love songs..you and I is certainly a love song

[danesmonkeyheist]

Body and mind lyrics on his myspace. Wow.

dang the raspy has added alot of personality. That body and mind was......man..grab ya, pull you in and dont let go. Hope those 'pipes' had some time to rest though.

[wowbenji]

thank you very much for posting..does anyone know the name of the song so I can post it at our fansite with the other 24 or so songs and try to eventually get the lyrics for discussion. Goggle josiahleminglemingfans (at the forumland) look for the words index in the right link towards bottom of the page (for the link message me) while there, please check out chatter folder for a thread at top with words car in it and also plan and see the surprise we are sending Josiah and be a part of it.

[animalsrocklol]

The song is called "Body and Mind" the lyrics is on his myspace where it says "Lyrics for My Loves ( :"

[wowbenji]

hey thank you danes..t and animal..l for the song words and title.  I added it to our website..thanks a million..added it to my itunes too, yay

[animalsrocklol]

Lol, stand by me! That made my day!

[hyesu05]

massive thanks!!!! he's such an amzing song writer for sure...

[lizzielulu0324]

haha that was amazing. (:

[lizzielulu0324]

haha that was amazing. (:

[lizzielulu0324]

haha that was amazing. (:

[animalsrocklol]

AWESOME!

[LionKingfangirl9]

A great song, it was so sad. I love it.

[untoronczyk]

I don't think Josiah could ever write a song I wouldn't like...once again another great song!

LOOOOOOOVeeeeeD!! Stand by me!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrkayyx]

WAT SONG IS THIS!

ITS AMAAZZINGG!

is it body and mind?

[aarfan4lifee]

Thanks for these videos of his show! Love this song, too! But Josiah just doesn't write a bad song, so I love them all. :]
