one of the best songs ever written! lyrics are just something special
When he’ sings “a place for the end” I always tear up for some reason, it’s crazy, this song hits hard. So relatable for anyone who’s experienced heart break and regret
Completely agree!
"I read the script and the costumes fits, so I'll play my part " 💜🌹
HIS VOICE IS SO RAW OH MY
I have a crush on you dear Sabrina
The lyrics to this song hit me somewhere so close to home that it makes me cry at times.
they sound almost same as the album, now that's so rare nowadays, gone are the days of Freddie and McCartney, indie singers/bands around the globe keep music alive
Gorgeous as the original studio recording. Wow
the most underrated band... i wish i knew about it when i was a teenager
Late for this late for that
Late for the LOVE of my life 💔
This hook is the story of my life 😢
damn that voice is golden 👌
there's something special about this song!! one of my favorites, just by the side of flapper girl 😂❤
"but i read the script and the costume fits, so i play my part" that hits hard,
I can’t be on time to save my life and this song is my anthem.
"Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around" it's just hit me what a line
Definitely keep music vibrant, alive and soulful
I just want to go to a concert where only my favourite songs and bands play
Lucid dream it
My favorite song of all times, I can’t stop listening to it…i think this music was made for me😢…Thank you Wesley, Jeremiah , Simone, Neyla and everyone of your team who made this possible , i love you soo much🥺❤️
What is sad song but awesomely incredible
One of the only current musicians who do sound the same in recording and live
Just discovered The Lumineers , never to late 😊
This song is a work of art
ya los extrañaba los amo the luminners desde mexico
Gorgeous, Masterful
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
With my father in a casket, I had no plans, yeah
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part
I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
But that's all in the past love, gone with the wind
Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
It's a bed and a bathroom
And a place for the end
I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time
I was late for this late for that late for the love of my life.
I really love Kexp.. always have a good bands show.. ❤
exactly like on the album lol! incredible live performance!!
Best of the best
Brilliant
Thank you
this music is very good I like so much
these lyrics are the story of my life. *I'm also half egyptian too, so it works
How old are you? Because if you're younger than 70 no it's not
This guy looks like what Macaulay Culkin should look like.
Vinny Mac LoL
Now I can't unsee this, thank you
he looks like if Jax Teller sold his MC and moved to Denver
😂 so true
@@michaelkennedy7173 that’s fuckin spot on wow
I'm Egyptian, A COPTIC CHRISTIAN EGYPTIAN, I shout that out loud because we are the most pure blooded Egyptians out there and that's not only my opinion that's what Egyptologists, Historians and Scientists also agreed on , and I tell you that every word that Bassem Youssef said is right and I totally agree with him.
Yes Egypt had lots of mixed cultures throughout its history like for example: Greeks, Romans and Arabs, but the Egyptian blood didn't mix and change that much and that's because for centuries we Egyptians had a golden tradition rule to marry our cousins, and that tradition is still present until now especially in Upper Egypt(from Assiut to Aswan), Although that tradition seems silly and bad from a scientific biological point of view, but that doesn't matter, silly or not we kept that tradition of marrying our cousins for centuries and that helped us to preserve our pure Egyptian blood not mixed as long as we could, and the result is what you see now and that is Modern Egyptians looks typical to their Ancient Egyptian Ancestors, just look at my skin color and Bassem Youssef's skin color we are almost the same although he is a Muslim who was born and lived in Cairo and I am a Coptic Christian who was born and lived in Luxor and there is almost a 1000 km distance between us, doesn't that tell you a thing or two about who Ancient Egyptians were and what they looked like?
With all due respect for all the Black people and all the other ethnicities out there, but we Egyptians are special very special, WE ARE NOT Black or White or Yellow, Not Europeans or Africans or Asians, Not Assyrians or Persians or Israelites or Nubians or Greeks or Romans or Arabs or French or Italians or Germans or British or Turkish or Ukrainians, Not Middle Easterners or Caucasians or Mediterraneans or Levants or Amazigh or Berbers or even North Africans.
WE ARE
EGYPTIANS,
WE ARE
VERY UNIQUE!
Prideful
no one cares
troll just trying to rile things up. Nice try bud lol
@@hannahblaylock2105 No one asked for your opinion, that’s first.
And second is this comment is 10 month’s old, and that was the time when Afrocentrics were attacking our own culture and heritage all over the social media when the movie black Cleopatra was first introduced on Netflix, so I had to defend my culture by sending this message all over the social media and especially on UA-cam, so whenever I found any video talking about Cleopatra even if it was just a normal song I had to send my message to the world through it.
I AM A REVOLUTIONIST, and that’s how we send our messages.
That’s what we call a CREATIVE CHAOS, it may make no sense but it has a purpose.
Lastly those who judge the book by it’s cover are the real trolls, and you just did that.
love
>>> = JUST TIMELESS =
Neyla like cleopatra😘😘😘
his voice is brutal.
Wtf
@@tanthaman ?
Agreed. Great on official recordings, but he’s so often out of tune live or acoustic. The wrong notes aren’t massively different. It’s so so small a difference, but I can’t not hear it. Incredibly distracting, and I can’t get past it. 😅 Will continue listening to the regular recordings though. I enjoy those :)

NICE
"late for the love of my life..." been there way too many times
I’ve been missing this song. It is my favorite song by far, but it appears they took the music video off of YT? Is this true? Is the music video still here cuz I can’t find it anywhere. This is just a little emergency so get back to me if you know TY! I haven’t had it come on to my playlist in weeks so it made me wonder where it is. Now I’m worried cuz I haven’t been able to find it anywhere on YT
it's here
Does the girl ever sing a solo? Sorry I don’t know her name
all first...
Shouldn't Neyla be singing this song?
Hey look, No one's on the cello (;
That cello is just freakin awful. They need to cut the mic on that thing. Honestly that lead singer doesn’t even need the band.
