Lyrics
We're miles apart
But safe from dreams
You're running from
Beyond the dawn
We'll always need
One of their own
To lead
(Shine your light over me)
Shine your light over me
(All of my fears are gone)
All of my fears are gone, baby, gone, gone
(And it don't bother me)
And it don't bother me, don't bother me, no
(If it's not meant to be)
Too far to run
Fall on your knees
To find a love
You're light to me
My only sun
You'll always shine
For me
(Shine your light over me)
Shine your light over me
(All of my fears are gone)
All of my fears are gone, baby, gone, gone
(And it don't bother me)
Don't bother me, don't bother me, no
If it's not meant to be
(Shine your light over me)
Shine your light over me
(All of my fears are gone)
All of my fears are gone, baby, gone, gone
(And it don't bother me)
It don't bother me, don't bother me, no
If it's not meant to be
I had to lose to understand
Strung out from all this
Pour out a thousand tears
I never knew a kinder man
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free

Just heard this song last night on Ted Lasso, Season 3. I turned to my wife and said, "this is an amazing song.....no, really, this song is beyond good. Out of this world good and It's hitting me unexpectedly in a marvelous way." (I'm 63).
Me too 😢
🎉😊😊😅
@@wolfe50same
Totally did that last night and haven't listened to anything else since!!
Me as well. Another reason to love Ted Lasso!!!
Ted Lasso sent me here. I'll be honest; I thought this was like a 1970s kinda Bill Withers-ish song from that era. I was surprised to find out that this masterpiece is from 2019 and it gives me hope that real music isn't dead and lost to loops, samples, tik-tocks, and talentless hacks that couldn't even hope to approach the songwriting, arrangement, atmosphere, and talent like this. Very well done. My word...
I agre mate,,
I'm 55 yrs and I thought all was lost with 'modern' music, obviously I was wrong. Thank you, this is outstanding and utterly, utterly beautiful
I totally agree 100% he is an amazing artist
I agree. I’m almost 50 & was just talking to my nephew about how music these days seems to be in the gutter. It’s just so awful. But there are gems out there!
@@jilligain3409 at last there is some amazing new artists for us oldies (only joking) just AMAZING
Listen to BLACK PUMAS too. There's a lot of young guys doing good work out there, I assure you.
53 and I agree. Stunningly beautiful.
Thank you Ted Lasso for introducing me to this song and artist.
I lost one of my best friends in February. He introduced me to your music. Tonight I will have a scotch in his memory and listen to this a few more times. Thanks for the great music and the reminder that my friend is still here with me in thoughts and good times.
Sorry for your loss ... I lost my son 2 years ago next month... Saw Michael with Gary Clark Jr... It was a life changer .. Don’t miss the opportunity to see him ✊🏼
@@stevetrivago wow I'm sorry for your loss. I definitely want to see him. Last time he came around it was at a standing only place and my buddy wouldn't have been able to do it. Next time I'm going no matter what.
@PietreADI I can understand but what's cringe to you is connectedness for him. Let's all be respectful towards other ppl's feelings especially when one is mourning a loss of a loved one. This track is the epitome of musical composition. Let's fill the space with love not negativity.
@Deadringer - I'm so sorry for your loss. Condolences. Your friend's smiling :)
God bless you bro
@@HipHopJournal I bet you are right. Thanks for the kind words.
If you're on this comment section praising Michael,I love you and I love that we have similar taste in Music!
love & peace 💜
He is one of the best
Heard this at Ross today and I loved it, I had to listen to it again so I stopped shopping just to shazam it💕
Just watched him on CBS this morning show...wow..such deep lyrics and passion 🤗❤
🤗❤️🤗
The completion of Nate's redemption arc is getting closer. Lovely song. Ted Lasso ♥
I'm only recently discovering him, and I'm blown away by the range of sound and feel of his music. I'm binging, and then I'll repeat.
Love and hate is my favorite, just discovered him myself
@@the1andonlypop hate is a strong word, choose a different one.
@@langstonreese7077 it's the title of his song lol. Love and hate are the same thing just different sides of the same spectrum but both are strong emotion towards. Never forget there's a thin line.
Lastly I would be cautious before telling someone to change the way their speak. Infringing on someone's freedom of speech is more hateful than using the word hate.
We are in the same boat. I'm asking myself where was I hiding.
Believe me you’re going to stay a fan whole your life probably lol, I’ve known him through a friend for a couple of years and his sound always sounds different and stunning. What an artist!
I feel so grateful for people who make music to touch the soul like this does.
Soul isn't dead!! Just a little harder to discover!! ❤❤
I’ve just discovered this song. It was playing at the end of the BBC programme Ambulance. I had to type in some of the lyrics to find out who was singing this. And I found it so here I am, a 64 year old woman who thinks it’s lovely. A new fan of this singer! Great song ❤️
Same
Same
Exactly the same, fell in love
Thats how I found it ha
The Song and the programme blew me away the NHS are amazing.
I can't wait to see him get even bigger than this. Such a calming song, so much soul in his voice!!
UA-cam recommended~
agree
there's absolutely nothing that could compare to this song or even remotely come close. this is timeless, priceless, incredible.. it is not music, this is alchemy at its finest, it is a piece of your soul. grateful for your work + light.
Ted Lasso brought me here
This song is seriously underrated
This man is a genius. I'm grateful I discovered his masterpieces and feel sorry for people still yet to discover him.
💯
This whole album is a masterpiece!
So true
Indeed!!
Completely agree!
Yup.😉
It truly is!
One of the best songs of the 10's decade, hands down
THEE BEST SONG
Caught this on Ted Lasso tonight. I am stunned by how beautiful this song is.
♥Thank you, Lasso !♥
I cried when I saw him live. I’m not ashamed to say that.
Super jealous. Would love to see him live.
That's my biggest wish since I discovered him,
I'll probably break down too..
Me Too !! Thinking about my Son 😔😢❤️💝💔💔
I love it when that happens. When the music just takes over the soul.
@@annjackson2129 I'm sorry. I can't imagine your hurt. I'm thinking of you. I really wish you the best in the future. 😔
Just watched this guy on the Graham Norton show. Unbelievably talented. Medicine for the soul.
Me too 😂😂
Me three.
Even better live
"Light"
We're miles apart
But safe from dreams
You're running from
Beyond the dawn
We'll always need
One of their own

(Shine your light over me)
Shine your light over me
(All of my fears are gone)
All of my fears are gone, baby, gone, gone
(And it don't bother me)
And it don't bother me, don't bother me, no
(If it's not meant to be)
Too far to run
Fall on your knees
To find a love
You're light to me
My only sun
You'll always shine
For me
(Shine your light over me)
Shine your light over me
(All of my fears are gone)
All of my fears are gone, baby, gone, gone
(And it don't bother me)
Don't bother me, don't bother me, no
If it's not meant to be
(Shine your light over me)
Shine your light over me
(All of my fears are gone)
All of my fears are gone, baby, gone, gone
(And it don't bother me)
It don't bother me, don't bother me, no
If it's not meant to be
I had to lose to understand
Strung out from all this
Pour out a thousand tears
I never knew a kinder man
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
A mile apart, leave and be free
Thank you for posting this. ...YES,!!!!!!!!!🤗🙏💖🌷
I’m pretty sure it’s “even if we, are miles apart”
@@synthmalicious7541 you're right :)
Kind of you to post. FYI, the lyrics are included in the description of this video.
Thank you for everything from the heart
I hear this song all the time at work and it has become one of my favorites. I will blast the longer version on my way home.
This is some old-school singer/songwriter stuff, respect. I have this on loop, must have listened twenty times in a row.
Yeah late 60s to the early 70s vibe.
From a little country called Belize. Love your music, just wanted to let you know your music was impact all around the world
Finally found this! Came to this song via the excellent C13 It Was Said podcast closing credits. Love it.
Probably his best song
Pure privilege to be in this artists era, witness to the rise of a rare star in the age of plastic music, thank you Michael.
Absolute masterpiece
I LITERALLY STOPPED IN MY TRACKS WHEN I HEARD THIS . IT FILLED ME WITH A SADNESS BUT NOT IN A BAD WAY. IT HAS SPOKE TO MY BEING. I CAN LISTEN TO IT OVER AND OVER. THANK YOU .
What a mind-blowingly beautiful song, felt transported back to my 60s childhood, that trippy sound. Amazing
This guy is in a league of his own and that league is very high. I love real music like this.
Living breathe feeling showing love
I've found a type of calmness in my life that I can't describe since the day I discovered Michael Kiwanuka. After Nujabes and J Dilla, you're the one who speaks straight to my soul. Thank you Michael ❤️🙏🏾💥
Same!
Exactly, is the only artist I can stand and need right now to keep going through this pandemic 😔
Nujabes? 🤔 can u tell me a bit about him. I already know about the legend j dilla
@@narellano4726 Thanks for asking.
What's J Dilla in the western part of the world, Nujabes is to the east.
J Dilla makes your neck nod and groove.
Nujabes makes your neck nod and reminisce.
J Dilla is feelings and funk.
Nujabes is feelings and soul.
J Dilla is Yin.
Nujabes is Yang.
And, here comes the best one, they both even share the same Date of birth which is February 7, 1974.
Check Nujabes out. His music will bless you with enlightenment. And, if you like his music (which I'm sure you will) then do give the anime SAMURAI CHAMPLOO a check to understand the depths of his musical composition.
I love that music can do that.
Watching BBC news and saw this guy won and it closes with the song live , it sounded great . Looked him up and got blown away , amazing artist His looks peaceful and his music is soulful.
Wowwww 🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏿
I was walking alone through a graveyard recently as I often do. I was reading the gravestones and looking at the sculptures whilst listening to this album, the surroundings and the music made me so emotional that I started crying, I literally felt like I wanted to get on my knees and start sobbing. I felt overwhelmed. His music is powerful. I wish I had the words to describe it properly but it truly is beautiful. Micheal is amazing.
This song can save lives... This song saves lifes.
I’m 83 years old, a classical/jazz buff and relieved to hear something genuinely new, something kind, something not canned!! 😅😉
Great song , hope you all have a great day.
The song is great. The video is equally as impressive and meaningful.
Such a talent and really original sound. He’s great!! (I’m a 60 yr old hippy who’s young at heart )
This is amazing. Only just discovering him, will definitely check out more.
Check out his love and hate album .. I saw him 3 summers ago with Gary Clark Jr... best show I’ve ever attended ✊🏼
Kawinuka got soul man!
Beautiful, Bold, and necessary.
This guy, no words. He's in a class all his own. Thank you for your beautiful work.
One of those rare songs (in today's music) that stops me dead in my tracks - sublime 💜
Favorite song of all time❤️
I am absolutely in love with Michael Kiwanuka's music.
Me too
I feel the same. It feels otherworldly. It's so emotional. I'm in love too.
Congratulations on the Mercury Prize it is very much deserved
Love Michaels music,
Love Michael too.
Such soul in his music, you can feel him. X❤️💫
I love this, from México city ❤️ 🇲🇽
We love you from Africa !
👌🏼 Ya somos dos!
Saludos hermanos ✌
The Graham Norton Show brought here. That performance was lovely and your backing singers voice was amazing. 🥰
✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻✊EQUAL RIGHTS AND JUSTICE
AND REPRESENTATION, TOO!💕
YES! #powertothepeople #nojusticenopeace
Nice. Where do we get the t - shirt... 🖖
good song!
This should have been the soundtrack for the new 007
AMEN!!!
Would be the GREATEST Bond film yet. They DO just get better and better, darker and darker, deeper and DEEPER. Daniel Craig ROCKS as Bond. The drama is spot on. I love how the movies seem to get more and more serious and dangerously dark. Skyfall, Casino Royale were really good, they all are. Comedy is nice, but I like the dark, trauma-- filled Bond movies.
and the BEST villains are the COLDEST, sociopath Bond villains.
totally agree
well done !!! reminds me of Bill withers who we lost his in March of this year ... very fitting
The Graham Norton Show brought me here! Lovely song...
So much love 🇧🇷
This is very beautiful music. Salute
Heard this on a Graham Norton last night. Simply stunning. I am now away to binge on all your music. 🙏🏼❤️
Just simply blown AWAY by this Man and his music, messages. We all need more of this, its good for the heart, soul and mind.
Soothing music for troubled times. Thank you Michael.
"Beautiful Life" was as depressing and real as "Light" is beautiful and inspiring.
I heard this randomly in a store, and it just stopped everything around me. So beautiful. Just a pure moment of transcendence. Thank you for allowing me to be touched by the spirit today.
Same
Ligit the best clm song ever can't wait to see u live
Damn, this is beautiful.
Okay, This is pure gold! Happy to be here first!
I feel so fortunate to have watched you live in Southampton at the beginning of March, just before lockdown. Will always treasure the memories ❤️
My wife and saw you live in Washington D.C. back in February 2020 before the whole Covid-19 lockdown. It was an amazing chance to see you perform live. Love your music, your artistry, and your talent. Please don't stop.
Peace, love and LIGHT!!!
Amazing!!! 🙏🙏❤❤
Found this watching BlackList, had to look it up, amazing.
Thank You Michael took me to a safe place listening to your song I just lost my son Thanksgiving eve and the pain is Unbearable especially for the holiday thank you for your calming words and your music blessings much love from Oakland California USA
So sorry for your loss 🙏❤
Very new to his music, I'm a aging rocker, this song genuinely gives me chills. F**k this guy can sing amazing voice ❤
He’s amazing and his music touches your soul, a very special talent indeed x
So moving. More than music 💎
He performed on CBS this morning, the day after Christmas..what an awesome performer! ❤
Heard a song of micheal in the past, but today I really heard his music! His style is classy, great artist. I would love to see him in concert!
This is the first song of his I heard and it hooked me instantly! I'm a big fan now.
Same
Reymond Redington (the Black List) sent me here. A wonderful voice ever heard 😊
Your talent is undeniably amazing. Thank you for taking me through hard times with your incredible music, Michael.
Wholesome n Grounded. Michael is 1 of the absolute BEST in terms of today's musician 💕
Every new album has managed to be miles better than the last! And I’m loving that direction of travel!
I'm brazilian and i loved🖤
Michael Kiwanuka brought me here. He's such a gem! The first time I found him was when I heart Cold Little Heart and then Love & Hate and man! I told to myself, do people not realize how soulful and spectacular his voice and music is?
No I mean, the lyrics is deep, thought provoking, and emotional, but the melody too! It transports you into Michael's world. Creates amazing imagery, gives you goosebumps.
I always think that songs such as this, you can interpret in multiple ways. Like how you would describe a beautiful art. It's different for different people.
Michael's songs... it makes me think about humanity, the struggle, hopes and dreams, the pain, the joy and the freedom, the safety, the solace that comes from God.
Like this beautiful song here, it makes me think about Jesus and his amazing light. Light that can remove any and every darkness. In our life, heart and mind.
Yes, I liked Ted Lasso. Great series. But no, this show didn't bring me here.
It's just Michael and his raw, amazing talent.
I hope he makes more songs.
I can't see it without thinking about the beauty of Brazilian woodcut art, just beautiful ...
"Ted Lasso" brought me here.
Beautiful. Unique voice ❤️
I feel so privileged i;ve seen this before he gets 'big'. Best new talent of the past 10 years! Superb voice, amazing writing, great story telling. What an artist. Long live Kiwanuka.
Him and Jacob Banks absolutely amazing
The Soul of Marvin Gaye
The Creativity of Paul Simon
The Voice of Kiwanuka
The Blacklist brought me here...something about it just grabbed me. Such a soulful tune!
You are so light I ca believe in wonders again
WhAt ever we achieve it’s worth the journey
I shine in you
You on me
All is we
You shine on me
I on you
We are the living
truth
Blacklist Episode 150. You know a song is good when you put a show on hold to give it a listen!
Beautiful song. I think this song is underrated. Needs at least 50 Million Likes
Cannot wait to see you live!! My tickets are already booked let's just hope the shows can continue.
This is my favourite artist of recent years. So grossly under hyped. No gimmicks just class
This guy's got it, full on, total.
