It's hard to explain without sounding ridiculous & attention seeking.. It's nothing big, but it's happened literally my whole life, starting really little like I was 6 or 7 my mom said...

If you’re lucky enough to get older, someday, you’ll understand lyrics like these in a profoundly different way. Just because we’re older doesn’t make us “old”. It wakes us more keenly aware of what life offers, and what it takes away.

      "I'm a creep, i'm a weirdo".
      But i thought when the song first was released that it was Widow, too.
      Im sorry for the pain youre in, it cant be easy.

    I once read somewhere that Creep is one of those songs that feel silly and juvenile most of the time but every so often, under the right circumstances, will absolutely break your heart, and I don't think I really got that until now. This lovely, soulful song brought me to the brink of tears and yet it makes me feel understood somehow. Thank you for this beautiful cover ❤

    I introduced this song to my parents when it first started playing on the radio. They both loved it. They would have been 84 & 85 this year. I miss them.
    Sir, your soulful version was fanfuckingtastic.

    This has been my favourite song since I was 14. My best friend was murdered and this was our song. I have always hated covers because I never heard one that was from a singer that had lived the lyrics. Today I have found the only cover I approve of. This song was written for this man. Just perfection ❤

      He's definitely a really good singer! Despite his age, there's still so much passion in his voice.
      My vocabulary is not particularly large, so the only words I can use to describe this are beautiful and heartfelt.

    Wow. Just wow. I’ve heard many covers of this song. None like this. I think so many musicians are focused on getting the climax of that song done right that they forget what the song is about. This version was brilliant. I wholeheartedly believe this man has someone special who he is singing about. He really makes you slow down and appreciate what this song is about. Well done Sir, well done.
