Not all is real music. Electronic beats, auto tune voices is not real music. Here we have a man who is creating melody, rhythms, and soul using a violin and voice. Sadly this kind of music is extremely underrated and does not get the praise and notoriety it deserves.
Love the message, the lyrics, the voice, the violin, everything about this song is perfect! At the beginning of it I was like WOW at the end I was speechless. This song touched me, so glad he's not using his talent to sing about nonsense.
"There's power in your sorrow, you'll see tomorrow. Take you places you don't know. It led me up to heaven, now they say I'm ready & it's time to let it go" Beautiful.
I think the amazing thing about this is that you can totally invision how in his head there's a full orchestra behind him, and you can almost hear them too with only one man, one instrument, and one heck of a lot of soul.
saw this guy as a warm up act in London yesterday, absolutely loved the way the audiences jaws dropped at his IMMENSE talent. what an epic live performer, and what a fantastic raw voice.
Without listening to the lyrics or actually listening to what this dude was saying, I instantly fell in love. It terrifyingly spoke to my soul. I came home this evening and listened to it again. I'm positive with in his painful sounding voice and repetition of the same chorus over and over that his "pain" comes from our oppressors as black people. "Despise me if you wanna, but I know that you will never win". "Baptize me if you wana, but i'll never be the same again." It's brilliant...
I don't usually leave comments, but wow this guy is so talented! This is true music instead of the dubstep crap on the radio, big respect for this guy!
I appreciate this because you can tell he is comfortable enough with himself to where even if the haters gon' hate it doesn't matter. I think he knows his music has a huge impact on the people who will really listen. Music like this changes the world. Kudos.
Haha that's so sweet. It's almost like a story or a movie. It's basically what life is all about, taking risks, chasing your dreams, pursuing happiness. Beautiful really...
Lyrics --- Deep in my heart I know it's right, And my enemies they try to break me, But I won't give up without a fight... I gotta keep on pressing on, I've gotta keep my mind free Just to keep on walking, even if I'm all alone I won't let nobody, ever try to stop me, I've gotta keep track of my soul Despise me if you wanna, but I know that you will never win Baptize me if you wanna, but I'll never be the same again Deep in my heart I know it's right, And my enemies they try to break me, But I won't give up without a fight There's power in your sorrow You'll see tomorrow, take you places you don't know It led me up to heaven, now they say I'm ready, and it's time to let it go Despise me if you wanna, but I know that you will never win Baptize me if you wanna, but I'll never be the same again, the same again Deep in my heart I know it's right And my enemies they try to break me, But I won't give up without a fight Deep in my heart I know it's right, And my enemies they try to break me, But I won't give up without a fight I gotta keep on pressing on
Man, you just made a fan base in Serbia...simply unbelievable...was dressing up when accidentally played this, and was sitting for 3.24 half-naked...showed it to my sister, she got goosebumps after ten seconds :)...we`re poor and we don`t buy cds, but if it means something, you truly changed somebody`s life and your name will be remembered till the end of my time :)))) ...
I am moved by this music and your presence. I have watched more of your other video's and I want to say this one has real power, for its just you in a field with music, its real. No need for flash video's, extra beats, dancing girls. Please keep it real so many are not. You have a great gift. thank you. xx
Listened to the studio version myself after a fair few years of this - you're absolutely correct. I've no idea why the studio version ended up so cluttered.
Pizzicato is fucking gorgeous. And this is the first time I've ever seen any form of string pizzicato with singing - actually any kind of strings with singing simultaneously. Amazing!
I went to school with him! We use to jam all the time. I remember when he left school, and ran off to NY, everyone thought he was crazy. Looks like he is doing ok. :) Do your thang, Marques!
Marques.... if you are reading this... this performance is stunning. awesome and raw and passionate. i listen to this song a bunch. however, your EP sounds like a pop mix. not having a go at you, just wish the EP was as raw and beautiful as this version is. good luck mate!

"There's power in your sorrow, you'll see tomorrow. Take you places you don't know. It led me up to heaven, now they say I'm ready & it's time to let it go"
Beautiful.
I am speechless and weeping. Humanity is so beautiful.....
Simply beautiful...
This is far more moving and talent soaked than anything that can be seen on tv nowadays
MAgic

What would this sound like in a studio with perfect acoustics? Spectacular.
If you haven't already heard the studio version...just type his name in the search and it will pop up
Thanks. And wow.

How has this never been done before?! A classical violin and John Legend-ish vocals. Pure genius.
Can't get enough of this dude, original, stupidly different. Ahhh FAN!!!
This is so powerful and gives me chills!
Can't get enough of this. This is raw music. Gotta give it to him for making the sound of the classical violin his own
He sounds like John Legend. This is always a good thing. Thumbs up from me!
WoW so Lovely!!
Oh my god.. !!! BRAINMELT !!! THIS WAS LOVEE !!! THIS MAN NEEDS TO SING MORE !!!!!

Omg he has such a beautiful voice 😍
From one violinist/singer/guitarist/songwriter to another: you are simply amazing. Keep on keepin' on, Marques. New fan here!
The brother looks hungry... but he is feeding our souls... isn't it amazing?
They can't take away our joy; God given.
Marques, I love your music! Stay strong and always sing
I don't usually leave comments, but wow this guy is so talented! This is true music instead of the dubstep crap on the radio, big respect for this guy!

Lyrics
---
Deep in my heart I know it's right,
And my enemies they try to break me,
But I won't give up without a fight...
I gotta keep on pressing on,
I've gotta keep my mind free
Just to keep on walking, even if I'm all alone
I won't let nobody, ever try to stop me, I've gotta keep track of my soul
Despise me if you wanna, but I know that you will never win
Baptize me if you wanna, but I'll never be the same again
Deep in my heart I know it's right,
And my enemies they try to break me,
But I won't give up without a fight
There's power in your sorrow
You'll see tomorrow, take you places you don't know
It led me up to heaven, now they say I'm ready, and it's time to let it go
Despise me if you wanna, but I know that you will never win
Baptize me if you wanna, but I'll never be the same again, the same again
Deep in my heart I know it's right
And my enemies they try to break me,
But I won't give up without a fight
Deep in my heart I know it's right,
And my enemies they try to break me,
But I won't give up without a fight
I gotta keep on pressing on
when you hear those notes going flat and/or sharp,you have to say "omg i like it, sounds so organic"
This just gave me chills. Amazing. You don't hear this kind of thing now a days.
He is absolutely amazing. So dope, I think I love him lol. But he is everything, like a John Legend on the violin. I want more!!!
Thank the lord, talent does exist!!!!! great voice...
