I do the same. I never knew who Lee Fields was til I saw this video. And when I want to listen to something that touches my soul, I come back to listen.
I'm a traveling industrial electrician. I ended up rooming with an awesome guy who owns a house, Rico, sweetest, heartfelt guy ever. He showed me this song, and I'm forever grateful cause it's damn beautiful. Wish I could experience it live ❤
Astronomers and other observing scientists around the world noticed earths rotation slowed by 0.5% on Nov 5, 2014. They were puzzled for days until one esteemed astronomer stumbled into this video in his leisure. After watching this youtube video the scientific community has concluded that it was Mr. Fields performing a power stance seen around 3:30 of this video that caused the astronomic disturbance. A few short moments after it is believed the song ended, the earths rotation returned to normal speed.
Life altering stuff...never will we be able to experience this again...my heart pounds for moments like this. Thank you Lee Fields and the expressions.
This song is so fuckin deep and raw , when he talks about walking alone late at night it literally froze me in a flashback of my own lonely life and i could barely remember a time when music hit me closer to home than this, not even possible really, this goes way down into the core , dont listen to this song if youre not willing to cry a little bit today
I love how the Asian woman chuckles at the unsuspected ferocity of Lee Fields voice in the beginning. What a sweet pleasure for the passerby’s and audience.
This video is a good example of what the world has come to .. people don't recognize real or appreciated it just care a bout a picture 🤔that's a blessing to witness to me .🙏
I just discovered this man’s music and just tears came out of my eyes. I can feel his pain and hardship. Thank you Lee Fields. Your music is medicine to me and gives me strength to push forward.
I know this song is most likely about a broken relationship between two lovers but honestly... it helps me process the loss of my mother who died when I was 22.
I am sorry for your loss. I just lost my husband of 44years a few months ago. And I am not sure how to deal with it. But I know life has to go on. But I listen to Lee Fields all the time. We loved dancing with it turned up on high so we would here the music from every room. But you can know that I feel your pain. I will pray that it gets easier for you everyday. We will both be alright.
Sometimes the universe takes stuff from you, but today it brought this...I it fits the exact moment I find myself. Universe, you are cruel and wonderful.
Just imagining seeing Lee Fields in Detroit and he comes out and tells you that your family completely inspired him for the whole night of the show and invites us backstage when Lee Fields and expressions inspired my whole family to be there that night.
Lyrics When I first met you, I felt the flames of desire Been like I known you for you years, oh yes i did But your heart grew colder, through the fire Left me holding back my tears I don't expect you to understand How these memories haunt my mind Now I walk alone late at night And I can't, can't, stop from crying Oh... Don't leave me this way Don't leave me this way Don't leave me this way Don't leave me this way You moved on but I keep holding on To the sweet lies that will never be I don't expect you to understand How these memories haunt my mind Now I walk alone late at night And I can't, can't stop from crying Oh... Don't leave me this way Don't leave me this way Don't leave me this way Don't leave me this way I'm trying baby, I'm begging you Can't you see that I need you? C'mon hear my _____ What am I to do? Don't you leave me, I can't take it Don't you leave me woman, don't you leave me I don't know what I'm gonna do I need you here by my side
People have you believe that artists like this don't exist anymore, well I can only say I had the priveledge of seeing Lee Fields in Manchester, (supporting Sharon Jones none the less) and the experience was truly amazing, something that will stay with me for a long time, pure soul and passion.
Beautiful. I unfortunately dont know much about this man but that's about to change! You can feel the love and passion he puts into his art. Truly amazing stuff! Bravo kind sir, bravo! ❤😮
Just saw him at Jazzaldia Donostia Festival. It was the last "big" concert that I saw and it was so fantastic that here I am, looking for his art all over the internet. It's obvious to say that seeing this guy live is waay more amazing.
I barely know any songs of Lee Fields, but this song is so damn good. Especially without that studio crap they used to add to kinda "fit the norm" or to make songs "better for radio". This version is much more honest, raw and just simply better. Thank you, I appreciate it!
Miggy Cabrera - Even in 2018, that sadly seems to be the case. Rather brutally ironic, how the ever-increasing, overly pervasive tendrils of social media still fall short of bringing about/increasing awareness of true talent like that of Mr. Fields.
i just feel like man has a soul. a great soul and a great talent which come together and create something that some of us can appreciate. and this song for me is just relatable right now. keep on going lee
Need to hear more soulful music, that grabs my heart and squeezes it until my arteries burst pushing loose a century of backed up tears, like this. Seriously!
Serious question . What’s the point in using Jesus name in vain ? Do you believe in Jesus? I gave my life to him , so yea it offends me and millions others too. Just my 2cents
@dsanti4069 and to some people it's offensive for you to say Jesus is the son of God. So maybe don't force your religion on people and live your life how you want to instead of chastising others. You know, be more Christ like and then the other cheek. Love thy neighbor. Basically be a good Christian and not so pious.

6 years in, I still come back to listen to this pretty often.
Same
It’s just one of most vibrant songs out there 💕
I do the same. I never knew who Lee Fields was til I saw this video. And when I want to listen to something that touches my soul, I come back to listen.
Me too. Sometimes I just need to listen to it ten times in a row, you know?
Agreed
Just imagine, walking down the street and hearing that voice and then realizing it is Lee Fields singing. Pure awesome.
I'd never be so lucky, but it would be amazing.
not everyone appreciated it though... they skipped him
Imagine hearing anyone sing like this- name doesn't really have much to do with it. He is an excellent singer- excellent song- perfect. In every way.
Tears in my eyes every time I listen to this, even almost 7 years in.
Man he has a voice. That's the real deal. No studio magic, just real singing. Quality.
people will not appreciate music like this until. the artist is gone! like Mr. Charles Bradley so
give this man the recognition that he deserves👍🎼🎵🎶💯💗
but Lee Fields still alive and kickin!!
So true
He is tthe last of the old school soul singers
Thank U for ur acknowledgment & U’re Absolutely Right about that!! R.I.P. Mr. Bradley!!💯🙏🏾👍🏾🎹🎼🎷🎺🎸
I talked to Charles Bradley a couple times and he was the single nicest person I've ever met. A massive talent just like Lee, well said!
I'm a traveling industrial electrician. I ended up rooming with an awesome guy who owns a house, Rico, sweetest, heartfelt guy ever. He showed me this song, and I'm forever grateful cause it's damn beautiful. Wish I could experience it live ❤
man I could listen to this a million times... if anyone else knows any hidden heartfelt gems like this please put them under the comments

You are Amazing. Just a fyi 😁

I will never get tired of watching this performance.
Wow. Just discovered and I’m so glad. Just wow. Amazing.

Just. Pure. Soul.
Too much feeling for today. Amazing.

He was absolutely amazing, I love his voice.

I can not stop coming back to this.
I am still coming back to this
Ahhh.. three years ago and still coming back to this
I just discovered this man’s music and just tears came out of my eyes. I can feel his pain and hardship. Thank you Lee Fields. Your music is medicine to me and gives me strength to push forward.
Everyone who did not stop to listen to this masterpiece has no soul.
I know this song is most likely about a broken relationship between two lovers but honestly... it helps me process the loss of my mother who died when I was 22.

This man's voice is OFF THE HOOK!! Instant classic.
I love Lee Fields , I love that voice
That voice! I love the soul and feeling he put into his vocals, that was one of the best Take Away Shows in a long time (in my opinion, of course!)
People be walking past Lee Fields without understanding his genius, while he sings "don't leave me this way".
He certainly doesn't need to be leaved this way, he should be famous with this voice!
Sometimes the universe takes stuff from you, but today it brought this...I it fits the exact moment I find myself. Universe, you are cruel and wonderful.
Amen brother. Was going to say the exact same thing but....you got it right on point.
Just imagining seeing Lee Fields in Detroit and he comes out and tells you that your family completely inspired him for the whole night of the show and invites us backstage when Lee Fields and expressions inspired my whole family to be there that night.
When music gives you the chills, you know
This is talent. Feel that raw emotional power in his voice
Lyrics
When I first met you, I felt the flames of desire
Been like I known you for you years, oh yes i did
But your heart grew colder, through the fire
Left me holding back my tears
I don't expect you to understand
How these memories haunt my mind
Now I walk alone late at night
And I can't, can't, stop from crying
Oh... Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
You moved on but I keep holding on
To the sweet lies that will never be
I don't expect you to understand
How these memories haunt my mind
Now I walk alone late at night
And I can't, can't stop from crying
Oh... Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
I'm trying baby, I'm begging you
Can't you see that I need you?
C'mon hear my _____
What am I to do?
Don't you leave me, I can't take it
Don't you leave me woman, don't you leave me
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I need you here by my side
I am watching this daily, I'm running out of time in the day with all these amazing blog videos,I'm still watching bon iver ones from years ago!
People have you believe that artists like this don't exist anymore, well I can only say I had the priveledge of seeing Lee Fields in Manchester, (supporting Sharon Jones none the less) and the experience was truly amazing, something that will stay with me for a long time, pure soul and passion.
One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard and every time I listen, it brings me close to tears
I can understand how too many close shots can frustrate people but the idea is to produce an intimate experience with the music.
Please, do yourself a favor and see this man in concert. He is amazing. He is soo much fun and the Expressions,my God they were born to play with Lee.
Beautiful. I unfortunately dont know much about this man but that's about to change! You can feel the love and passion he puts into his art. Truly amazing stuff! Bravo kind sir, bravo! ❤😮
Lee Fields and the Expressions represent something that has been missing from this world for a very long time
No auto tune in sight.....love it!
Just saw him at Jazzaldia Donostia Festival. It was the last "big" concert that I saw and it was so fantastic that here I am, looking for his art all over the internet. It's obvious to say that seeing this guy live is waay more amazing.
how can you just pass by?!
Amazing soul. Also an interesting take on the social aspect of selfies and walking away instead of listening. Either way Mr Fields is the BOMB
Still coming back to this.
Still as powerful.
It goes really deep. Thank you Lee Fields.
If you can't feel this, you have no soul.
BlackCat WhiteFace this gets me right through the heart.
🍿
Or you haven't felt heartbreak yet
I barely know any songs of Lee Fields, but this song is so damn good. Especially without that studio crap they used to add to kinda "fit the norm" or to make songs "better for radio". This version is much more honest, raw and just simply better. Thank you, I appreciate it!
Sad ppl still don't know the greatness of this man
Miggy Cabrera - Even in 2018, that sadly seems to be the case. Rather brutally ironic, how the ever-increasing, overly pervasive tendrils of social media still fall short of bringing about/increasing awareness of true talent like that of Mr. Fields.
I've been a fan of Mr. Fields for what seems like forever now and every time I listen to him I still think "he's SOOOOOO goddamned GOOD!"
i just feel like man has a soul. a great soul and a great talent which come together and create something that some of us can appreciate. and this song for me is just relatable right now. keep on going lee
Spectacular...thank god for those who keep the soul alive.
A vintage Guitar and lee's lovley Voice, what do we need more?
His chuckle at the end is so fitting God damn what a singer
A song to sing from the heart. To take off and fly.
to shiver . To remember.... so many things.
“What we do now” @the end…perfect
Best love performance I've experienced this year... Listening repeatedly for days now.
What an incredible singer!
Still listen to this song a lot. Ty Blogothèque
The raw uncut soul of a man. beautiful
so much power in his voice. amazing.
I had the honor of running sound for these guys a couple of years ago in telluride CO, they are truly amazing, on and off the stage
Paris did receive the light of good old vibes!!!
I almost lost this gem but i finally remembered the name of the group after finding them a few years ago.
Fantastic!!! What is with all those people just ignoring this fantastic voice???
exactly
no appreciation for soul.
Gale Brown maybe this is a video and these are actors.
True.
Ikr
Need to hear more soulful music, that grabs my heart and squeezes it until my arteries burst pushing loose a century of backed up tears, like this. Seriously!
Back again baby! Lovely song.
This is so arresting. Something so special going on here.
How come people just went by him? Amazing performance.
exactly, even worst, take a picture and go by
momburac n
Because they have jobs.
Lee Fields is Magique , Paris is Magique OMG Amazing voice
OMG he is amazing. i would have loved loved to been at that place where he is singing!! he has so much feeling. AWESOME
Yep, still as good as it was last week.
I can’t wait to be able to go to gigs again. Saw these guys back in 2019, the last gig I went to! So good!
I can't believe how many people just walked by. I would have ran to this performance.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME~~
Lee Fields is AMazing without question

Serious question . What’s the point in using Jesus name in vain ? Do you believe in Jesus? I gave my life to him , so yea it offends me and millions others too. Just my 2cents
@@dsanti4069rub those two pennies together move along
@dsanti4069 and to some people it's offensive for you to say Jesus is the son of God. So maybe don't force your religion on people and live your life how you want to instead of chastising others.

This is one of my most favorite live performances of all time. Love the videographer who captured these moments.
im in awe.. i feel this song.. deeply.. ty 4 sharing it.. such an amazing voice..
Amazing some things are so good they make you cry this is one
After a lot of years listening to this I finally get it hah. I wish it hadn't ended that way.
Grandiose. Et dire qu'il y a des badauds qui passent sans s'arrêter...
When a man bares his soul to the world!
Anybody else get that shiver up yo spine! GODDAMN!!
Goosebumps every time!
Es la primera vez que paso por aquí y me quede para repetirla, hasta volver, Gracias
That's real soul. ...Amazing.
Good Lord. This dude is the balls.
I'd say he's the Tits.
one of his best performances (my favorite part is when the little kid in the headphones passes by with his family and wants to stay)
Espectacular voz y guitarra!!! Craks!!!!
This is why I love music.
This is so incredibly powerful, so good!!! Brought tears to my eyes
Now I know why they call this soul music . It shakes you down to your very last bone
Soul , beautiful soul.
What a good voice
Felt that in my soul 😪
Mind Blowing Passion and Power !!!
Great Monsieur Lee Fields thank you
Gotta love Lee Fields.
It is very unfortunate that the name of the guitarist is not mentioned in the credits of this film.
This is Vincent John.
Pure passion. Great voice
