[scurvalicious]

Oh my.



[watchlistentell]

If you have enjoyed this, know this. Sharing this video and allowing others to enjoy it too, is how WLT works. Imagine if everyone who had watched this, shared it with just a few other friends... After all, you put the T in WLT.

[MiekyWay]

im getting ready now

[Ledahosnbua95]

Reminds me of Jack Johnson...

[TehGuitec]

@Ledahosnbua95 Jack Johnson's voice is smoother :) But the style, yeah, pretty much :)

[13Bee1]

As soon as he sung the first "Oh my" I literally just forgot about the entire crappy day I've had, closed my eyes, and smiled the whole way. Music like this...just... merci WLT.

[PublicAwkwardness]

@13Bee1 same thing with me

[youguillerrmotube]

E major ftw

[VenomMontages]

Amazing, Acoustic is were true talent rises!

[GorgonDrageil]

I'm getting ready... to replay this track 720p with headphones on. ...Pants optional.

[WillG42]

@GorgonDrageil 1080p, headphones on, i can no longer find my pants.

[Jb72987]

What camera do you use to film these videos?

[TehGuitec]

@Jb72987 They won't answer :P But you can definitely get this quality with any kind of DSLR (preferable Canon 550d, 7D, 6D, 5D, 600D) with any 50mm lens (f1.2, f1.4, f1.8). Have a look on youtube :) The colors are corrected afterwards.

[Greene269]

Looked him up after seeing him on Jools - this is just beautiful. I can only imagine how suited he was as an opening act for Laura Marling! :)

[rakshi7259]

holy shit this man has brought me to tears. that has never happened.

[kttod]

watchlistentell you never fail to impress me, thank you , lovely song

[watchlistentell]

@kttod will keep trying.

[luigidivuonomusic]

just watching him on jools holland now, pure talent!

[knauftegellijm]

i saw him as an opening act for laura marling. it was amazingly beautiful!

[dutchappletea]

Okay. Hands down one of the greatest songs I've ever heard.

He has such a beautiful, soulful voice.

[tom36450]

This is sooo good, so powerful and emotive, its one of those songs that means something different to everyone who hears it. Love it, love it, love it.

[bobby08ify]

@samsung074 your a disgrace to the HUMAN RACE!!!!!

[cliffordjoe89]

the 9 who disliked this song, i feel for they don't got soul bone most people have

[bobby08ify]

excellent!!!!!

[ffffffern]

(: yeeah

[antunovich07]

1,000th like yes..

[nagity12]

his voice <3

[RaRaAshley]

Uh...why does it matter what color his skin is? Shut up and enjoy the music.

[TVseanleemedia]

this is so good ,

[rabokel]

great performance, i love it

[BlankBoardsCo]

@samsung074 Asshole. Degenerate asshole. Take your racism and leave. Seriously not acceptable.

[treeoftears]

That's what I like

[xeniadasquens]

He's GREAT, I listened him in Sala Bikini in Barcelona.. and woooow

[MrMohdiqbarothman]

Bravo.!!! Light n easy music.

[MrAgentVaffel]

Beautiful song!

[sachmofranklin]

Beautiful :-)

[MrAsianWay]

I just cannot understand why there are 5 people who dislike this? What's wrong with it?

[TheBizzle280]

Amazing man! Keep it up!

[CHICKPEA20]

beautiful!



[kevie923]

well done bro

[kkhhaalliid1]

 Here the truth Come

[bishoptutuspants]

sent shivers down me spine.. there are more years behind this song that this young man's age. unbelieveably mature performance

[PeresD]

amazing !!!

[broxmouth]

Great playing, wonderful voice - just one question? Why do you sing in an American accent. You are obviously a Londoner with a perfectly good English accent - why throw all that away into the bottomless pit of pseudo-American shlock accents? Nick Drake sang in his own accent; so did the Beatles; why give up your own birthright for a 'mess of potage'?

Once again - superb voice, wonderful playing, great song,

[twatcole]

love this !thanks !

[RaeSandwich]

i am in love with this song<3

[ggodbers]

WTF its amazing !!

[GorgonDrageil]

This song is Black Powered

[Englishgrlverity]

I love his voice : ) Wonderful!

[MrLambanomai]

you make me wanna go back to high school and play with my band.

[ollimurphy1995]

im getting ready to buy this song!

[Jb72987]

Reminds me of Nick Drake

[atomik12345]

@Jb72987 Agreed.

[sunz600]

@Jb72987, Yeah man, similar guitar work to Nick certainly.

[jweightmanmusic]

@Jb72987 And sounds very, very similar to Bob Dylan's 'Corrina Corrina'.

[cheparo5]

Wow thanks for this amazing tune

[goodideabiaggio]

if you go one the page i asked for this beautiful, beautiful man 2 weeks ago... im some haps guy :D

[goodideabiaggio]

DID WATCHLISTENTELL ACTUALLY LISTEN TO MY REQUEST?!?!?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[1000bookstoread]

This song is like the epitome of pretty.

[bonesmaan]

brilliant stuff!

[thebashfulmanech]

I know this is about God, but the song can also be about other things that need faith.

Take Love, for instance. I am going through some tough time right now because of a recent break-up from a man I deeply, deeply love, and this song somehow assures me that everything will be alright soon, and that I will be ready to believe in love again.

[UneedMe113]

Love Mr Kiwanuka, bought his itunes festival album...amazing.

[turaibarna]

I don't get it, why is it good to make hidden tracks? I listen all the songs you publish, but why do I have to watch it closely and look for a link? I just don't get it. If someone doesn't watch your videos, he won't watch them to find hidden tracks, so what is it good for?

[GorgonDrageil]

LOL... [credits:] This performance was brought to you by Black Power.

I love this tune. Kiwanuka's great :).

[harkahn]

The one how disliked this did this because he know that Michael Kiwanuka had a 10 inch bigger penis then himself. !

[stuntakstur]

Amazing song mate!

[doctorosullivan]

....... I like the song ...... only because it sounds exactly someone imitating Ben Harper.

[nagelm01]

Beautiful :)

[themindsden]

this is pretty great :)

[RVBeckett]

Who could dislike this video D:

How could you do that do this masterpiece!

[sumayacoldplay]

beautiful voice!

[rbergsten74]

I'm only going to say this once and with a heavy heart...This isn't going any further than this Youtube post. The man has an amazing voice and can play some guitar but, the song has religious undertones. And by "undertones", I mean it's about "God". Too bad. Besides that bullshit song "What If God Was One Of Us", have you heard any "big time" songs that were this focused? NOPE! I love this guy's voice...he's talented...the "God" thing isn't gonna press him any gold records though.

[MoHatMoGheansai]

@rbergsten74 ever heard of: Van morrison, u2 and glen hansard?

[rupumped]

@rbergsten74 Totally agreed--except for that one song "How To Save A Life" by The Fray...oh yeah, and "Jesus Take the Wheel" by Carrie Underwood...and then there's that one CC band Switchfoot which won like 3 ASCAP's, 8 GMA's, and was nominated for a Grammy. But yeah, other than that, and about a million other successful songs with Christian undertones, you're totally right. This guy has no chance at making it big.

[matt036]

@rbergsten74 You haven't heard of Lady Gaga before?

[rbergsten74]

@matt036 Lady Gaga got her snatch in the door by singing about poker faces and other stupid shit to hook all of her fans and THEN sang of "God" and what not. This guy is actually talented and she's a fucking hack! Let's do us a favor and NEVER compare someone like this to Lady Gagsga! (Typo intended. :-D) Thank you for your time. That is all.

[matt036]

@rbergsten74 I never said that he was bad. It's a terribly narrow minded thing to think that because there is religious elements to a song that it means it will never get big.

[ATTILABROOTAL]

does anyone know what guitar this is?

[Murannda]

Zero dislikes. Proves how amazing this is.

[thedannyization]

no dislikes! just WLT- Fans can do that!

[davidshurrmusic]

woah..

[hallunke26]

one of the greatest songs i've ever heard. greetings from germany! btw: nice channel ;-)

[ikeepsecrets1]

this is gorgeous. Anybody have any idea what kind of Martin he's laying? It's so pretty.

[rubynadine1]

Truly amazing. I would love to do a video for WLT!!

[ventouse]

Oh Lord... this is marvelous!

[ToasterRehab]

I usually listen to pop-punk, post-hardcore, and some metal (like Woe Is Me, Of Mice & Men type of stuff) , but how could anyone not enjoy this?

[milandejong]

Perfect!

[PenelizedHappiness]

:D -3

[MrUkuleletime]

[Alexisnotburning]

I like it. It kind of reminds me of Paolo Nutini, in a really weird way.

[fillesneverland]

this is beautiful, just REAL music. WLT is the best.

[ivanishedify]

WLT you are my hero

[RvHulten]

Damn, wlt.. everytime i get this message that you have uploaded a new clip, a whole new world opens up for me!

[czumulumu]

everyone from WTL is so perfectly in the right place

[lloydguillaumegroup]

Poem : Blossoming Flowers undeveloped in the play, illuminated in the form of beauty, from the inner determined from the time of the day, the center of what is hidden, an interlude of the form.
