Raul Midon-"State of Mind" (long version)

[yovannis]

At last, a real artist, keep on grooving man, killerrrrrr !!!!!!!!!

[BtySeymour]

wonderfull he is the best

[Kasino80]

He is unfortunately a complete unknown in Denmark. Here it is Jason Mraz who dominates this genre. Ironically I hadn't heard of Jason Mraz until I heard himon Midon's State of Mind album...

[SehoMoon91]

what a song

[Lopro94]

sometimes, the whole, huge, universe of music seems to be centralised in one person.

undescribable.

[sanyodude14]

This night, when i found this guy, I feel my whole world became larger!

He is one of the best singers&guitarists in the world, if not the BEST!

Respect man! Keep up the good work and, think about making a World Tour!

You are very appreciated from what i see in the comments below so, it wouldn't be such a bad idea!

Greetings from ROMANIA!!!

GOD SENT YOU! PEOPLE, LET'S TREAT HIM WITH ALL THE RESPECT AND LOVE WE HAVE! THUMBS UP !!

[gabylane1]

pas de mots pour dire ce que je ressens... my state of mind goes higher and higher when i listen to him!

[Softsillmusic]

This song is a freaking masterpiece

[rfd73]

A big hug from Ecuador bro, keep making music forever, now I am your biggest fan!!

[wwwtextnu]

Sweden loves this!

[FreddyClapton]

@wwwtextnu to bad about saab right my brotha from anotha country

[marini1976]

Impressionante!!!!!....senza parole

[justinian1962]

First saw him w/Leno on the 2Night show over 7 years ago...fabulous, crazy talent! Went online, found Raul would be at PDX, OR, Aladdin theater in 2 weeks; bought tix, went with my best bud. Only about 400 people there; they got the treat of their year, My friend and I aren't easily impressed, but Raul's skills, talent, diligence, and engaging personality blew us away! Afterward we met Raul & sweet, caring wife. 2 gentle, humble people: I pray he succeeds wildly! Love & Blessings to you, Raul!

Lrn2music mate.

[framelessfilms]

Wow, this sounds great! You have exactly the success we were both dreaming about at UM just a couple of years ago. Awesome!

[fuel2obsessions]

Well he is really talented. He is way better than most arist lateley. He can sing live and most artist lateley can't do that !

[fuel2obsessions]

[TheSuperbat007]

[Antonio43254]

[monkysplus]

quien seria el ignorante, que se ve que de música no sabe nada, que voto e contra de este talento humano.

[TRUMPITI]

I was listening to it browsing something else and then I heared this flugelhorn reminding sound. Hectically I went to see the player and found out, it was his mouth. Amazing! 

[Cerandubois]

Hey, I’m a young artist, & I would really appreciate it if everyone would check out my cover of Michael Bublé’s “You’re Nobody till Somebody Loves You.” Although I’m knowledgeable that Michael Bublé was not the first to record the song, my version was inspired by his rendition, nonetheless. I promise you that you will not regret giving my version of the song a listen, & it will truly knock you off of your feet! So please listen & enjoy! Thanks!

[leparrain781227]

frenchement c couille met c un carchere ki la dans la bouche ptdrrrrr met il se gave

[leparrain781227]

trop de postillons lol 

[Bongus75]

Still glad to had this song at first on my favourite list. Times have past...G....I`m so thankful I know him

[leys0526]

Exelent !!! exelent!!!

[celiasanchez8]

God exists! This is one of the most breathtaking performances I have ever witnessed. Outstanding!!!

[RoseG1rl]

/watch?v=Q0189jtedrw&feature=r­elated

Watch this cover!

[fonkeemonk]

This is real music!

[Cerandubois]

Hey, I’m a young artist, and I would really appreciate it if everyone would check out my original compositions “My Bluest Sky” and “Será.” “My Bluest Sky” sounds a bit like a cross between “Irreplaceable” by Beyoncé, “Water Runs Dry” by Boyz II Men, and “Tell Him” by Lauryn Hill. And “Será” is, of course, a Latin number that is very high energy, hot-blooded, and extremely unforgettable. Thanks!

[axeman1009]

Wonder how many musicians are looking to collaborate with Raul?!?! They better be ready to keep up....

[rinuextreme]

I know that the pause at 1:40 is on purpose, but why would he want that to happen? Because it really sounds that he made a mistake...

[LennyHirsch]

@rinuextreme no it doesn't.. :L it's a break, and it's executed perfectly, sounds beautiful to me.

[LennyHirsch]

@rinuextreme no it doesn't... it's a break, it's executed perfectly, sounds beautiful to me. :')

[yawedfs]

@rinuextreme It's just a break... is nice!

[mightyafrowhitey]

@rinuextreme doesn't sound like a mistake to me. he hits some harmonics and lets them ring out before the after the chorus verse to build tension, then slides up into a chord right before the 2nd verse.

[Adyoz]

@rinuextreme Building tension...

[DarthPew]

Human beings can truly be amazing.

[grownnbass]

@DarthPew I concur buddy...

[SeeksOnlyJesusChrist]

Love it!

[JohnMcNamaraAcoustic]

Hi All, I am an Aussie soul/blues singer and a BIG fan of Raul Midon. I heard this track on the radio and couldn't get to the record store quick enough. Hope you take the time to check out my channel and enjoy what I do. Best wishes- John

[benja303]

1:22 goodooooooood

[76Satine]

c'est pas mon univers musical, mais il a un sacré talent !!,

[tonysloan]

As I told him last Sat. night at his post-gig cd signing, I've sung professionally for 30+ yrs. and no singer/songwriter/guitarist has ever impressed me more. The man's talents are to be paid attention to!...it's just that simple. Amazing artist!!!

[cafesmitty]

If you are in a bad mood, listening to this guy will improve your move by 1000 percent. He is amazing and so thankful we have music like this.

[MyRoxNameIsBOB]

Hey P Diddy, why don't you pick up a guitar and show this guy your stuff? OHH right, I forgot, you're too busy getting grammys for that noise that comes out of a computer to learn what real music is

[Cresspur]

I love the vibe of this tune! so inspiring!!

[fenixhicaro]

Chupa essa Ed Motta! A linha é essa!

[PianoMeister3]

That is so ridiculously awesome.... As a music major (I'm a pianist and a percussionist), I can testify that the rhythms he sings are super hard to do over his guitar playing! Props dude!! I hope you go far with your music!!! :)

[Koohee1]

かっこいい

[MrSnriley]

WOW

[superjam18]

and people still want to do the jerk and the dougie? shame shame shame.. lol jk

[hike21]

gosh, you're good. where've you been all this time?

[beunique84]

Wow...this is real music TALENT right here!!

[LWolfie5]

how the fuck can you dislike this, wow that amazes me!

[bhaal1]

@LWolfie5 jealousy, hatred, stupidity, racism ( which are actually both the same thing ) or he just fucked their gf xD but i guess there's at least 26 ways to have no musical ear at all to enjoy this

[KirbyPwnz13]

26 people have not talent.

[rodolfmm]

Got no words enough to describe my happiness whenever i hear his music.

[naotaqe]

great!!!

come to Japan!!!

[itsPhite]

Great song! Could do without the handi-clapper in the background though...

[jinters1]

Wow this guy is fantastic!!! And really who is Justin Beiber? I truly don't know, just keep hearing his name bandied about...x

[camillalandolf]

u gotta be ucking me! he is blind??? holy crap! AMAZING!

made my night! really!

damn you man fuck... YOU R MINDBLOWING!

[FlinckShinesOn]

I put this on favourites before it even had started.

He and Richard Boona is godlike.... truly. ;D Was on their fifth set today in Sweden in our city: Vara! (I loved how awesome they said it xD).

He played guitarr, bongodrums and sang and played trumpet with his lips - at the same time, and it was guuuud - One of the most amazing things I've seen!

[ZOTWOMAN]

@BenediktKotruljevic not really - a little bit...

[soulgirls39]

c classe!!!!!!!!!

[Dom13d]

If Stevie played guitar.... Hello Raoul!

[RREsound]

Raul Midon e Ed Motta seria um sonho!!!!!!!!!

[JIazZyIBIHiFii]

Young george Benson

[bigbluntt]

Legendary!! this guy is something special! wonderfull!

im buying his album I suggest you do the same!

[ManOfRhythm]

Fantastic!!!

[Arnaudetjulien]

RESPECT !!!!!!!!

[lordavernal]

fck that was great!

[DunkdaHunk]

Also how can 26 ppl not like this?? seriously 26 ppl in the world who don't have any taste.

[Gonzo41237]

@DunkdaHunk perhaps they didn't like the lighting. also it might interest some of you to know that this guy is also blind. makes him a little more incredible i think.

[DunkdaHunk]

@Gonzo41237 I certainly knew he was blind, but all the same you're right, it just makes him even more incredible. Maybe having vision gets in the way when it comes to being truly musical. In any case he seems to have truly embraced his talent.

[billthegeek33]

This song is so good that puts me in a State of Shock.

[DunkdaHunk]

So many different types of music and types of sounds he can produce using only 2 instruments, and they sound so perfect! True musical talent if ever you could witness it!

[smittyzx]

that was so beast...

[BRUQBEATS]

They have eyes ,but Raul will make em see what real vision is...

[AuTooth]

Rediculous Voice! Sheldon Botler and this guy should collab

[AuTooth]

I am inspired, give me more good music. Somebody should hook him and @SheldonBotler up, they would be a fantastic combo.

[guytitanic]

Solid!

[jingeshan24]

i cant play slap guitar as well as he does when i can see something!

and he does it that well blind!

amazing talent, and amazing feel for notes.

its sad to know he's not that well known.

[louisianarookie]

This dude is a monster

[theCluevi]

Ante na doume kai kana ellina na pezi etsi k na tragoudaei mazi se kamia 20tia?

[f9287AA]

outrageous!!!Can t believe it. He rullz.How can i get a hold of him for a remix?????

[simtholile]

08 Dec 2010, 06:32 pm South African time, "The day I discovered Raul Midon by mistake". What a talent. Shows you one thing, nothing should limit you from achieving your dreams and attaining perfection in what you do. You are my new inspiration and may your life be field with all the blessings..........

[THEDEVILINRS]

[glitcha100]

3 men walk into a The Guinness Book of world records HQ.

the first man claims he has the worlds smallest arm.

the second man claims he has the worlds smalles foot.

the third man claims he has the worlds smallest penis.

after being tested by the Guinness Book of Records, the first man said "wow, i really have the worlds smallest arm!"

the second man said "wow, i really have the world smallest foot!

the third man storms out and says: "WHO THE FUCK IS JUSIN BEIBER!?"

[0GreenGiant0]

[ryuol8]

[THEDEVILINRS]

i saw him at the monterey jazz festival a few years ago. he makes me jealous. haha keep going raul!!

[xxguitardude34xx]

is he blind?

[quirara]

yes

[TheFreshPeddler]

@xxguitardude34xx - you can ask or you can read the info under the video lol. but yes it says he was born blind.

the guys a genius. love the funk influence. bet he can rock a bass

[ssst90]

@xxguitardude34xx sure

[OMGianfra]

wooooooooooowww!!!!!

[516azizah]

I'm loving his music!!!!!

[KevinSpacey4ever]

Absolut Great...fantastic!!!!!

[rtortore]

Why is it that you get 101 thousand pathetic 'musicians' out there ... not to drop names (Kattie Perry) that cannot sign to save themselves, and yet Midon is having problem making it "big" ... how sad.

Raul, thanks for giving us a "bit of heaven here on earth"!!!!

Richard.

[lbb2r]

@rtortore are you really asking this question for an answer? this is not main stream music....musicians and lovers of music that takes such skill to produce dig this stuff....but if teeny boppers were begging their moms to buy this music...then u wouldnt like it either....raul midon doesnt wanna to be big like katie perry...it would be so lame if he was

[deathtollTMx]

Thats true musican blood! Sounds happy.

[streetscaper69]

Thank you for helping me find a cool state of mind to be in peace tonight . . . for finding the time to be in the moment & enjoying the "present" that is You . . .  ho! my brother

[Lauchex]

Just awesome

[ronkingston]

one of the coolest songs i have heard!

[Bongus75]

...pure...

[PaoloGAngelo]

Thank you Raul, you're awesome...

[jameskellyacoustic]

love this.. come back to the uk!!

ps i'm a flamenco/blues singer songwriter from manchester uk.. feel free to check out my music on my channel...

[jeffree82]

I found this guy called James Kelly who is blatantly influenced by Raul Midon. check out his video. search for James Kelly Let It Go. you will like!

[primitivefiremusic]

I do the slap guitar thing n sing....mabey as good as Raul....mabey not. Come and check out my vids and enjoy life. peace

[MrRastaRiley]

isnt he blind?

[IPawnNoobs]

@MrRastaRiley Yes.

[d4nlo]

... wow x

[prophetviewer]

The first time i Heard this song Was in a class oh hIP HOP, My teacher had a cd with many songs and i ask her for the cd to burn it, and wow ¡¡¡¡ This song is awesome describe my thoughts and important things of mi life ¡

[pricelesspistola321]

it almost make me want to give up on music seeing this guy have so much talent and music sense. lol

[petruswoo]

nice trumpet !

[oliverandm]

The chords progression is very easy, but don't get me wrong, the technique is fuckin hard and he owns my ass ... he is blind, and it's no fair he can sing that well... AND DO THE TRUMPET thingy!

[all3332]

@oliverandm Hey there passive aggressive, "don't get me wrong...". Many of the greatest songs ever written were/have been made based on simple chord progression. Simple, not only makes it harder to hide the mistakes, but also makes it accessable to a wider audience. Not neccessarily a bad thing, Beatles anyone?

[ronkingston]

very cool :)

[nihongo94]

Seriously, he got to have perfect pitch! No doubt!

[jasonnnf]

I don't get it.. there are lot's of shitheads in the world, but I never thought that there could be 24 that would not like this.. =S

VAMOS RAÚL! MUCHO AMOR DESDE ARGENTINA!

[OnceMoreBob]

Why is it that EVERY fucking video i go to there's a comment saying "fuck justin bieber". WHO FUCKING CARES? The kid is not even relevant here so shut the fuck up and talk about how good RAUL is and stop trying to insult people that are widely hated just so you can get thumbs up and feel like a bad ass. Fuck off.

Raul rules hard btw

[mastersedu78]

I LOVE YOU RAUL!!!! I saw you in concert at the Kennedy Center. You are an amazing artist. These videos give you no justice!!! Keep doing your thing. My favorite is "bonnie's song"

[PhiLoSoPHiAsMusica]

he's awesome!!!!!oohh i love this music!!

[endrick1234]

FUCK justin bieber Raul Midon for Ever

@endrick1234
