I got this album in my high school years (early 2000s). This man is an amalgamation of artists from the 70s (Mayfield, Pendergrass, etc.). #LongLiveTheFunk 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Saw Van Hunt on the NBC The Tonight Show, he and the band kill it,, the female bass player stole the night, saw a sign saying Van Hunt at the Black Cat and they played Character and i was hook like a fish
It's amazing the power a song has. I constantly get into emotionally draining situations. I don't feel talking to people solves it for me. This song has saved me on so many occasions. I'll go for a walk and just sing it out loud until my soul is lifted. Beautiful
Helped me in a very hard time. I was around 18 when first listening, had a distant relationship with both parents and little good ahead of me, but despite my rough spot, I found this. I'm 30 now, and it's tough but I'm in a good position to lead and push a positive force on things, rather than contemplating you know what... Thank you Van Hunt. People don't realise how much good music helps sometimes.
so exciting to see people discovering great artists. just think if radio stations would do the right thing for a change instead of the what you get on a regular. music that inspires can be hard to find. But there is more out there.
Faces have trouble smiling When it's less than a merry affair When you communicate through the writing on the wall There's no love for you there You wanted to draw a picture But your relationship could never hold a pose You're left with a roomful of sketches That only hint at the love you wanted to know Let it out, let it go Hold back the tears no longer Let them fall on the floor Not on your will to be stronger Who are you In the face of disappointment? Where is your character The one who keeps you going? The one who keeps you going Caught you by surprise How time changes people and places Would you guard over your ruins like you're doing If you knew your first kiss was your greatest? Let it out, let it go Hold back the tears no longer, listen When you work too hard to get along Maybe it's time you moved on Who are you When heavy weather is blowing? Where is your character The one who keeps you going? Who are you When heavy weather is blowing? Where is your character, baby The one who keeps you going, going? The one who keeps you going, going The one who keeps you going, going And going, and going, going
there was a place i left dear memories. it would be late night trying to catch sleep and this would come on. never got the name of this here coz after it played, commercials came on and i waited to get the name of the artist. yesterday, i stumbled on this here. had just listened to saadiq; "different times". when i saw the song title and beside it van hunt, i knew insictively it was my jam!

Still listening in 2024....my kids know the words because I play the ish out of this song❤🎉🔥
Van Hunt is such a talented vocalist and songwriter - he should have a much larger audience.
2024...mind officially blown! Perfect song at this very moment!!
Little Mayfield, little Womack and a whole lot of Prince. I have to admit since this cat dropped years ago I have enjoyed his sound.
You described his sound to a capital T...
I guess I'm showing my age since I'm dropping old school names.
a whole lotta Mayfield!
Yea. I can think of worse artists to emulate though. So I'll give the cat a break.
Chase Pipkins not a Mayfield fan ?
This song has been on repeat in my head for the last two days. Y'all know why.

Van Hunt is undiscovered gold!
Everyone should play this morning inspiration once a day! Take heed of the lyrics and jam to the groove! Awesome!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I bought this CD back in Kuwait in 2007 and it's been one of my favorites every since!
This album is so bomb! From beginning to end!
Still listening 🎧 3/21/23🔥
I come back to this song, "when heavy weather is blowing." It helps me re-focus.💜
Saw Van Hunt on the NBC The Tonight Show, he and the band kill it,, the female bass player stole the night, saw a sign saying Van Hunt at the Black Cat and they played Character and i was hook like a fish

That 77 Drop Top Cutlass and This Track.
Two Great Things That Go Great Together
Correction : That T Top 77 Cutlass
+Philip Bourne Yessss Philip Bourne!!! He definitely has that 70's sound going on!!! Remind me of Curtis Mayfield a little! :-)
so exciting to see people discovering great artists. just think if radio stations would do the right thing for a change instead of the what you get on a regular. music that inspires can be hard to find. But there is more out there.
This is a perfect song. 10 out of 10.
This dude is cool,smooth,such charisma!! Love his music...On a Van Hunt Marathon💜
Did Curtis Mayfield have a "love child"?
Faces have trouble smiling
When it's less than a merry affair
When you communicate through the writing on the wall
There's no love for you there
You wanted to draw a picture
But your relationship could never hold a pose
You're left with a roomful of sketches
That only hint at the love you wanted to know
Let it out, let it go
Hold back the tears no longer
Let them fall on the floor
Not on your will to be stronger
Who are you
In the face of disappointment?
Where is your character
The one who keeps you going?
The one who keeps you going
Caught you by surprise
How time changes people and places
Would you guard over your ruins like you're doing
If you knew your first kiss was your greatest?
Let it out, let it go
Hold back the tears no longer, listen
When you work too hard to get along
Maybe it's time you moved on
Who are you
When heavy weather is blowing?
Where is your character
The one who keeps you going?
Who are you
When heavy weather is blowing?
Where is your character, baby
The one who keeps you going, going?
The one who keeps you going, going
The one who keeps you going, going
And going, and going, going
