You know how sometimes commercials will show only the good part of songs, then when you look the song up you get disappointed. This isn't one of those songs.
Like everyone else that Subaru commercial had me in search of this song... definitely "Powerful Stuff". Such beautiful Lyrics and the base line is awesome... Now on repeat on my iPod! Love it!
I literally can not stop listening to it! I've been playing it over and over again for the past two days! And when I'm not listening to its stuck in my head! I love this song.
It's about passion It's about compulsions It's about impulsiveness It's about this bad ass tune It's about Sean Hayes Thank you Thank you for bringing this refreshing, soothing song to us in the New Orleans area Wow! So sorry for those who associate something so soulfully satisfying to only drugs. How sad and empty your lives must be. Hope something powerfully awesome comes into your life that consumes you with " Powerful Stuff." Love/Peace GOD bless everybody.
LOL Same here. Saw the commercial and just had to find this video. Just typed in 'Subaru commercial powerful stuff' and found it. Listened to it many dozens of times now.
In a world on the verge of collapse, the music still plays and for those 4minutes and 29 seconds we can forget this strange inhumane world we live in and catch a glimpse into the beauty of time itself...
While this song has NO reference to ANY narcotic I can see, and completely agree with, the statement made about it being about passion and love. It is most definitely soulful and moving to the spirit. May the good Lord bless us with more of this "powerful Stuff."
I Love these guys. Its a damn shame I never Heard of them till that stupid car commercial. Am grateful for it so that now I know who they are and plan to listen every chance I get. LOVE YOU >
Music and the Arts are about interpretation ~ So the song could be about LOVE, drugs, ALCHOL, peanut butter & jelly, CARS. It's how you relate to the song. I instantly thought of my boyfriend...because we have some powerful stuff. But I could see how it could relate to other aspects of my life. BTW - I would like to personally thank Subaru for bringing Sean Hayes into my bedroom this morning! ;)
For some odd reason the best place 2 find new music is in commercials? We have this 1 in the Subaru commercial then I found a song by Kyle Andrews called You always make me smile in a Holiday Inn Express ad!
This song is so soulful that u can't help but fall in love with it and I think it about falling or being in love. It so powerful that it feels like a drug;)
Anyone else reminded of a youngish Tom Waits? Seriously. Glad I found this. The live is better than the studio version. Sean, you need to tour (more)!!!
@JesaStar -Thanks for the kind words bout my Mom, I so many memories bout her linked w/music-Her playing or singing, our family all playing or singing 2gether, of course my brother, sister, & I were all lil' kids doing our concerts for my Mom & Dad stuff we'd just make up-GREAT STUFF! I KNOW if my Mom would have had a chance to hear this she'd be wanting to sing this song as my brother, sister, & I got older (now all in our 20's) she & my Dad slowly grew into liking the same stuff we all liked
im so feelin sean hayes right now its blues and soulful gruff beautiful music...i didnt know who he was till i saw a subaru commercial..lol...but im glad i did....
I first heard about Sean Hayes b/c he's friends with the girls from Be Good Tanyas and they gave him a shout-out a few years back. I never knew he was getting popular until I saw the Subaru commercial!! Yay :)
I'm not a proficient emcee. But the break could stand a verse that shakes hands with the theme. The solo actually is a verse of thoughts. You must be good if your art starves for more art on its arc. Thanks, Master Hayes. A commercial paid you but the music keeps paying us mortals.
I heard this on the Subaru commercial and fell in love with this song. I love his voice, and Ray LaMontagne, also Josh Krajcik from X Factor has their voice sound. Ahhh, so gorgeous. :)
At first, I was sure he was talking about LOVE or a girl, but after I didn't hear the word 'LOVE' one time in the song, I listened more closely to the LYRICS, and then I heard: "Mmm, yummy, this is powerful stuff. There's no way for you to give this up. It's in yo BODY. It's all in yo blood. It'll tear you down and lift you up. And keep you turning like it's never enough." I wasn't sure. But the more I listened the more I became convinced that it was talking about...I know it's crazy...HEROINE.
This is still Powerful Stuff in 2024! ❤
The commercial didn't make me want to buy a Subaru but it did make me want to look up the music.
You know how sometimes commercials will show only the good part of songs, then when you look the song up you get disappointed.
This isn't one of those songs.
first heard this song a few years ago on a car commercial a few years ago and I don't regret searching for the full version
I cannot begin to describe just how powerful this is.
I love his soulful voice... 😍
You don't need to. This is powerful stuff.
This song should have an "Oh Lordy" in between every line. This guy's Taj Mahal mock-up makes my skin crawl.
Like everyone else that Subaru commercial had me in search of this song... definitely "Powerful Stuff". Such beautiful Lyrics and the base line is awesome... Now on repeat on my iPod! Love it!
iTunes now…iPod 😂👏🏾
This comment is so 2012 it hurts 😩
I learned of this song through the Subaru commercial years ago. I searched it out and has loved it ever since!!!❤❤❤
I literally can not stop listening to it! I've been playing it over and over again for the past two days! And when I'm not listening to its stuck in my head! I love this song.
I was listening to my old cds & this came on…& started my love ❤again for it 👏🏾🎶
looked up "Powerfulstuff" after hearing a commercial...Love this song...Of course it's about LOVE
Saw you this night for our 10 year wedding anniversary! Best celebration night ever!
I can't get enough of this song! Dude's voice is absolutely AMAZING!!!
One of my all time favorite,.. just puts everything at ease... Sean's mannerisms are reminiscent of another favorite from days back, Jerry Reed!
I've never loved a commercial as much as i love the one that had this song in it!
It's about passion
It's about compulsions
It's about impulsiveness
It's about this bad ass tune
It's about Sean Hayes
Thank you Thank you for bringing this refreshing, soothing song to us in the New Orleans area
Wow! So sorry for those who associate something so soulfully satisfying to only drugs. How sad and empty your lives must be. Hope something powerfully awesome comes into your life that consumes you with " Powerful Stuff." Love/Peace GOD bless everybody.
I could watch or listen to this and "When We Fall In"over and over..."could"? I do!
Sometimes watching TV is a good thing..This is a great song..Going to listen to some more of Sean Hayes.
LOL Same here. Saw the commercial and just had to find this video. Just typed in 'Subaru commercial powerful stuff' and found it. Listened to it many dozens of times now.

Yeah❤
Awesome! I am addicted to this song!
Sean hayes earned a fan! :) thumbs up if your now a fan of his!
Thank you Subaru for turning me on to this amazing musician. So soothing. Perfect for these troubled times. Can't get enough.
It's so magical how guy's voice sounds nothing like what he looks like
Awesome video and audio quality. I love his unique sound. You just don't hear stuff like this very often. Really diggin it! ; -
While this song has NO reference to ANY narcotic I can see, and completely agree with, the statement made about it being about passion and love. It is most definitely soulful and moving to the spirit. May the good Lord bless us with more of this "powerful Stuff."
These solos though.. I'm glad I decided to look for a live version.. definitely a new jam.
Luv the commercial, makes me stop, watch, smile..& take a trip down memory lane
Heard this on the Subaru commercial and ran to the computer to look it up. Great song!!!!!!!
Just fell in love with a voice. I love a song with soul.
Thank you Subaru Commercial for introducng me to the genious that is Sean Hayes!!!!!!!
2024 & continue to listen to Sean Hayes & Powerful Stuff..
That guitar solo is the TRUTH!!!
I have a close person whose on Heroin and this song hits me close to my heart. Great performance.

I Love these guys. Its a damn shame I never Heard of them till that stupid car commercial. Am grateful for it so that now I know who they are and plan to listen every chance I get. LOVE YOU >
OASSpartan, I could not have said it better myself. I can easily imagine Otis Redding or Sam Cooke singing this song. Love it....
I will admit, I am new to his music. However, I became an instant fan. Holy shit, this guy pretty much rocks.
There is not a cooler voice anywhere on this planet. This song is AMAZING.
i hear a little of this song on a commercial and i like it so i decided to listen to da whole song today. i love it
I love this song! Thanks Subaru for cluing me in!
If you ever get a chance to see him Live grab the tickets ASAP. Well Worth It.
I just love his voice, good stuff!
i love when you listen to a song and it doesn't sound like it's live when it is
I love the commercial and love the song even more. I love his voice! Glad I found him! :)
Can't wait to see him live tonight at The New Parish in Oakland.
Lol so glad to see I'm not the only one here because of the commercial! ; ) love this!
Music and the Arts are about interpretation ~ So the song could be about LOVE, drugs, ALCHOL, peanut butter & jelly, CARS. It's how you relate to the song. I instantly thought of my boyfriend...because we have some powerful stuff. But I could see how it could relate to other aspects of my life. BTW - I would like to personally thank Subaru for bringing Sean Hayes into my bedroom this morning! ;)
i instantly looked this up after hearin this on the commercial. i was completely zoned by his voice.
i played this song for my grandson when he was 8 months old he is now 14 months old and he still loves to dance to this song, i love it too
I played this song at my gig.... It was soo much fun and everyone had a good time jammin' with me to it(:
I loved the commercial song from Subaru too. I would always stop whatever I was doing to look and listen to the commercial!
For some odd reason the best place 2 find new music is in commercials? We have this 1 in the Subaru commercial then I found a song by Kyle Andrews called You always make me smile in a Holiday Inn Express ad!
Great song! Glad Subaru took notice.
Why am I crying to this song in my bathroom at 3am????
This song is so soulful that u can't help but fall in love with it and I think it about falling or being in love. It so powerful that it feels like a drug;)
Yep 😏
Anyone else reminded of a youngish Tom Waits? Seriously. Glad I found this. The live is better than the studio version. Sean, you need to tour (more)!!!
been listening to this song ever since I saw the Subaru commercial. love it?
I could listen to him sing all day long, I love his style of music and singing. Makes me wanna bump & grind. ;-)
@JesaStar -Thanks for the kind words bout my Mom, I so many memories bout her linked w/music-Her playing or singing, our family all playing or singing 2gether, of course my brother, sister, & I were all lil' kids doing our concerts for my Mom & Dad stuff we'd just make up-GREAT STUFF!

I may have found out about this song a year after is was released, but damm its a good tune!
Dear subaru, Thank you very much for introducing me to this amazing song,
I am forever in your debt.
Love, Caroline
Damn... He's got an Awesome voice! :)

Gripping blues. Work of art.
