*Lyrics* How does it feel When it’s quiet and calm And will I be denied How will it feel When it’s time to move on Mother says kneel and pray When it gets hard I will roll those sleeves Life can be so unkind I will be found on the edge of the world Where there will be no one around Oh solid ground How does it feel to be on your own No one to understand I know I’m here and I don’t belong I’m on my knees today When it gets dark I will know no fear Life can be so unkind Hanging around on the edge of the world Finally no one around Oh Would you help me I don’t understand Is it over Am I losing solid ground Solid ground
Tought you guys would fix my lyrics, did it 10 hours before you hahah I'm so addicted to this sound that I couldn't wait for the official lyrics release.
My biggest flex of 2020 was seeing him live at Palace Theatre before the pandemic. I cried & made friends. Everyone in the audience embraced him. Everyone was silent when needed. Everyone left healed.
There's a saying that "Everything new is actually well-forgotten old" and I hope we'll see the renaissance of the lo-fi soulful male music soon. This man is a forerunner of Labrinth, Khalid, Maverick Sabre and Joji caliber that I've never heard of before. Thanks again, COLORS.
I promise you there’s no better feeling of peace than driving down the coast, windows down, and the smell of the ocean waters while listening to Michael.
I was floored when I saw him play "I'm Getting Ready" live on Letterman years ago. His music is touching on a whole different level, and I'm so happy to see him here. I never clicked on a UA-cam video so fast. Awesome job getting this guy, COLORS.
Michael is like movie music what you makes you keep watching a movie but you never find this song. He is extraordinary and we lack musicians like him nowadays and I must thank Big Little Lies TV show for making him more known for public. All of his songs are just soul resting. I hope colors bring more singers like him into this channel. I can't wait Leon Bridges to sing
Ran across his music 2 weeks ago. All I can say wow!!!! Music for the soul and mind. I'm mad that I just found out who he is, but I'm glad I found this dude. PURE SOUL!!!!!
First heard this from Kandahar today... came across Michael in 2013. I feel I have lost good music and good times over the years not following up on him. Oh, well.. I'm happy to be here today :) this track is just beautiful. Love from Swaziland
I saw this guy live MANY years ago and he was absolutely incredible. He also seemed like such a cute little soul. So happy to see he's still doing well 🥰
Thx, fantastic song/voice. Woke up early morning 3 AM after a max 3 hour sleep as usual in the last month of pain coz of a broken shoulder--this was simply fantastic song, my tears running, but at peace. Bless U Michael
I remember listening to his music was I was little. My mum and dad would play his music in the kitchen as they cooked. Especially the song 'tell me a tale'. His voice make me feel so nostalgic. Beautiful.❤
I am incredibly grateful for this share COLORS, didn't knew him and it was the best new song I've heard in a long long time. For someone whose addicted to music, this was pure pleasure. Is voice, simple piano keys and the smoothness in which he makes both ressonate... make this sublime. To you Michael Kiwanuka, you've got another listener sir love the soul you put into this, thank you!! P.s : The lyrics as simple as they may sound, there's nothing of simple in them, the more I listen the more I feel, powerfull.
Just amazing talent! It appears simplistic, yet the vocals and what the lyrics are telling us are definitely not "simple". This is such an amazing art piece. We cannot forget this artist!
What are the people who dislike this or any art trying to prove? Seriously you see someones art and your only response, is not just 'it is not for me' it is to say "I want to say this is not good and I want to tell other people I think it is not good".... Sometimes that makes me said for humanity.
Bro… your skills sound like they are coming from solid ground, melody, harmony, variation, heart! absolute perfection. Your performances are so rock solid. Thank you, Lots a love man.
Dude I friggin LOVE Michael Kiwanuka. The Colours Playlist was on in the background for me, as soon as the first note hit, chills down the spine. Not surprised to see its Michael. Thank you Colors!
I'm so glad I found this channel that introduces me to artists who put art back into their music. I was really looking for new music and I found the source
*Lyrics*
How does it feel
When it’s quiet and calm
And will I be denied
How will it feel
When it’s time to move on
Mother says kneel and pray
When it gets hard
I will roll those sleeves
Life can be so unkind
I will be found on the edge of the world
Where there will be no one around
Oh solid ground
How does it feel to be on your own
No one to understand
I know I’m here and I don’t belong
I’m on my knees today
When it gets dark
I will know no fear
Life can be so unkind
Hanging around on the edge of the world
Finally no one around
Oh
Would you help me
I don’t understand
Is it over
Am I losing solid ground
Solid ground
I'm on my knees today ✋
Tought you guys would fix my lyrics, did it 10 hours before you hahah I'm so addicted to this sound that I couldn't wait for the official lyrics release.
@Colors , please look into artists from Kerala, India.. there's Job Kurien, Sooraj Nambiar from Masala Coffee , Agam the band and so many others.
Such a beautiful depressing song
At first i thought it was Nina Simone, heard it at the end of a Blacklist,
When the first notes came out from his mouth I felt home again
Totality
Ikenna Ahamefula Totality?
Chicken4life home again home again
I agree. Another one of my favorite artists. His lyrics are so poignant and reach into the depths of the soul.
love the song and artist- wanted to make comment and you said it best so I'm using yours credited to Chicken4life-well said
Takes something special to sing and play the keys like this. Simplicity at its absolute finest.
Virtual Farmer Nick check his mahogany sessions out
Plays guitar well to !
Virtual Farmer Nick here 👊🏻👉🏻 ua-cam.com/video/s7NEy938nWY/v-deo.html
One of my favourites
Has a Ray Charles influence
I love Cold Little Heart too!
felt like time has stopped, this performance is out of this world
Totally agree... Amazing
The background colour matches the mood of the song. Perfection.
Courtney Jazz I’m pretty sure that’s the point
I was thinking like a dark orange-ish, kinda like a sunset but yeah, awesome song!
My biggest flex of 2020 was seeing him live at Palace Theatre before the pandemic. I cried & made friends. Everyone in the audience embraced him. Everyone was silent when needed. Everyone left healed.
Wow! Im happy for you that you experienced this! Memories never die :)
I would have loved to experience that. Lucky!
That's so beautiful
@@fayfay3470 it truly was
This is a huge flex sister, you have my jealousy
This is the warmth and harshness at the same time

Dude, enjoy his last albums. Soooo gooood and timeless
@@nurrealsupertramp8617 I'm scanning Spotify for them right now. Thanks for the feedback.
Enjoy✌❤
Loving Mr Sabre....!
I have seen him perform 4 times. An amazing artist. His1st albums never leaves my car. Its probably 7 years I've been listening to him. Amazing
Un artiste que j'admire, il a ce talent d'apaiser par ses mots, ses notes, sa musique...
Love an hate
Diable que tu as raison
Feels like its not only the piano and him, there is a whole groove going on here
⫷ °⧭° ⫸
It’s called reverb
Groovin
soul
There’s something funky going down here man
I promise you there’s no better feeling of peace than driving down the coast, windows down, and the smell of the ocean waters while listening to Michael.
The sheer beauty of his voice and words make me cry. Why is that? Maybe because he's putting my feelings into words the way I wish I could.
This man can't put out a bad song. Every single one is phenomenal.
he's warming my cold little heart
He's the best! I listen to "Cold Little Heart" every single day!!
This was playing in the Season 2 finale of All American - one of my favourite dramas of all time.
You never forget a voice like this. He had me hooked since ‘Cold Little Heart’ 😭
Kiwanuka's voice feels like home.
Thank you, Animal Kingdom, for introducing me to this brilliance.
So soulful and deep! And Michael's shoes blend so well with his keyboard ... this guys got style too! Bravo!
Brings you home to a place you didn't know, but you know you belong.
He's soulful, please dont get sucked up, please stay true to yourself. Stay strong, stay safe!

His voice is smooth as butter on one of Grandma's hot biscuits...
weird statement
He sounds like he matured in Nina Simone's womb to the sounds of Otis Redding. He makes it seen that his laughter sounds like Maya Angelou
@@ivyandcallalily2076 keen observations. Nice
@@cyrillewis9606 weird flex but ok

“When it gets dark, I will know no fear”
Woooo! My reassurance in following Christ right there!!! Thank you sir 🤗
Ran across his music 2 weeks ago. All I can say wow!!!! Music for the soul and mind. I'm mad that I just found out who he is, but I'm glad I found this dude. PURE SOUL!!!!!
Grief is the holiest of emotions. If you need to grieve - this sacred song will help you do that.
such a soul resting music. it feels like someone playing in his living room, all alone, looking for solid ground on his music, on his life.
First heard this from Kandahar today... came across Michael in 2013. I feel I have lost good music and good times over the years not following up on him. Oh, well.. I'm happy to be here today :) this track is just beautiful. Love from Swaziland
This song is a combination of emotions that last a lifetime.
I saw this guy live MANY years ago and he was absolutely incredible. He also seemed like such a cute little soul. So happy to see he's still doing well 🥰
His voice is amazing!
How is he doing so little, and it sounds like so much. The restraint is just amazing.
Whenever i listen to this song, i can imagine myself at the edge of the cliff where it meets the sea. It's dark grey, kinda stormy, windy & cold.
your voice is heavenly man. never quit
Michael is unbelievably talented. Loving his soulful songs till the first album. Bless you!
Thx, fantastic song/voice. Woke up early morning 3 AM after a max 3 hour sleep as usual in the last month of pain coz of a broken shoulder--this was simply fantastic song, my tears running, but at peace. Bless U Michael
How does this not have 100 million views? What a brilliant musician and lyricist.
I remember listening to cold little heart for the first time and feeling calm and nostalgic. Can’t wait to hear more from him 💕
I remember listening to his music was I was little. My mum and dad would play his music in the kitchen as they cooked. Especially the song 'tell me a tale'. His voice make me feel so nostalgic. Beautiful.❤
Michael leads me places with his voice and they're all beautiful
his piano looks like caramel candy and it looks delicious
L Hunt 😂😂😂

It's a giant caramel kit kat
You obviously have got the munches, big time :-)
Yeah let’s eat it
Gives me Modern Day Nina Simone vibes ✨love it
BlondiieK Came here to say that. Im sure he’s a fan.
You nailed it!
this is literally so soothing and the vocals is like...... y'know what I'm bloody speechless.
this made me cry for no reason, love the atmosphere he creates
Wow. Just wow. Unrecognized talent. In loss of words... just amazed that music like this still exist. 🙌🏾🙏🏾
I love this song by Michael. I feel he is expressing me.
“Life can be so unkind”. Such a simple line yet so effective. Delivery is key ✨
I feel comforted the minute that this song begins to play
His voice got me mesmerized
Soulful....Thank you Michael for such a beautiful song

one of my very favorite artists right now
Thanks for introducing me to new (to me) artists. He's so talented!
check out his song 'Cold Little Heart'. Hit's me right in the heart. Beautiful song
"The Final Frame", also 😊
Honestly all his songs 😉
Father's Child is a phenomenal record as well. So raw and one of the more underappreciated songs from his last album.
Sometimes the music is so good it's hits you too hard. The song hurts.
I just watched Kandahar and heard this song. You came out of left field! The keyboard, with your voice and soul, I love it.
Божественно, как и всегда. Спасибо, Michael.
Oh goodness!!! Can someone please tell me, how one person is this talented???
True Talent. Can't Wait to listen to the whole album. I feel like I am on SOLID GROUND already.
This song and the texture in his voice. Soulful for sure. Killed it
this song is truly something else.. can't even begin to describe the feelings I go through listening to it.
He comforts me 💯
Just amazing talent! It appears simplistic, yet the vocals and what the lyrics are telling us are definitely not "simple". This is such an amazing art piece. We cannot forget this artist!
Damn!! This is fye. Goosebumps 🔥🔥🔥🇰🇪🇰🇪
Mwaniki Mwaniki ya he’s Ugandan
He's Ugandan
Our Neighbors Uganda representing 🔥🔥
Wow wow wow he just blessed us with that voice
Why am I hearing the judges slam their buttons to turn around to know who is delivering this masterpiece. Iconic voice#nofakes
This is a vibe. I can definitely paint and listen to him all day in my room.
I have never been this excited!!!! Haven't watched it yet but I am here since I am super excited. Go Michael
So mesmerizing watching this performance
This is beautiful from start to end tears down my face I can feel the pain & see now
I'm in love with Michael Kiwanuka!!!
So talented! He's awesome live too!
What a blessing to have this Maestro

His voice, like his talent seem effortless but perfect at the same time !

Such a voice, gosh. Thank you Colors, always bringing us fresh music♥️
the sound of these keyboards touched my soul
The colors are so beautiful and he’s voice makes me feel a type of way. It’s just so beautiful I love it
His song Cold Little Heart is one of my all-time favorites.
Anyone else immediately get transported inside Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?
I love colors it gives me life
I've listened to this song 3x back to back my emotions are tied deep to this song
AMAZING, Michael is just something else...
So much smooth tone and richness! Timeless performance !
This one touched the heart a little bit.
I feel like i'm dreaming... Thank you Mickael.
This guy will soon get a Grammy. He's a true sound from Uganda/UK
I had this song running in the background while I was playing No Man's Sky on my Xbox. What an amazing experience.
Bruce Lee 🤩
Brilliant! Just brilliant!
Blacklist soundtrakcs are on another level 💯💎
