    I'm just imagining him playing this for Suleika, neither one of them knowing whether she's coming home from the hospital or whether this time, the cancer is going to take her "HOME", and I am tearing up. And then he smiles while playing, and it's clear this man tries his best to live in the moment with gratitude.

      I mean, it's a smart chord choice, but it's a classic jazz substitution.There's so much more to him as a musician than that one choice- specifically the way he blends his classical training with this roots in New Orleans, and now with more Pan-African flavours. That's the true genius and artistry.

    I just love this so much. The theme is pure beauty, but then he throws in these atonal minor notes to take you out of the ease of emotions, to make you back up and think some, before reinvesting yourself into the quiet elegance.

    Just utterly beautiful.
    One of the coolest moments was sitting in the Late Show audience in the early months of the show. Seats were front row but off to the side - not a great view for the guests, but basically front row seats for the magic that was Jon Batiste and Stay Human.
    He's missed on the show, but boy am I glad the rest of the world has caught up to the level of ears listening and accompanying accolades he deserves.
    Heart and joy in everything. Rarely in music does so much technical talent coincide with such deep, palpating emotion. We're lucky to get to see it in real time.

The fact that he's unafraid to express them in such a tender way speaks volumes about his level of maturity as a man and just as a human "being" period.

    This is not the kind of music I would ever just listen to... but OMG hearing him sing and play this put me in tears. I know the story behind this song, and you can't hear this and not feel the love and admiration he has for his wife, and hear the flutter of butterfly wings. This is just so emotional and pure and good and inspirational and calming. Thank you, Jon... thank you so much for sharing this part of you with us.

    Woke up to hear this song on Late Night the same day I learned my childhood friend had taken her own life. Thank you Jon Baptiste for making such a beautiful song that captures the hope and pain of life's journey. I will be sharing this with my dear friend's family, hopefully it will give them the same feeling of peace and awe it gave me. 🩷

    The delicate and exquisite beauty of Jon’s soul is pure.
    Music and painting are SO important to me.
    This just fully opened my heart and to be honest, made me sob.
    Also, knowing and seeing these two men sharing the deep respect and love they have for each other feels like an honor to see again!
