Lyrics:
It's nice to hear your voice again
I've waited all day long
Even wrote a song for you
It's strange, the way you make me feel
With just a word or two
I'd like to do the same for you
It's nice to hear you say "hello"
And "how are things with you?
I love you"
But very soon it's time to go
An office job to do
While I'm here writing songs for you
Strange
How a phone call can change your day
Take you away
Away
From the feeling of being alone
Bless the telephone
It's nice, the way you say my name
Not very fast or slow, just soft and low
The same as when you tell me how you feel
I feel the same way, too
I'm very much in love with you
I'm very much in love with you

Who else got sent here by Little Joel?
Me
Me.
…yes.
Maybe
Yuh
Little Joel has never betrayed me.
happy pride, y'all
Happy pride 💛
Sent here by little Joel, by way of RJD2. 🤯 I had no idea the RJD2 song was a cover with a different name... It being written by a black man is the least suprising revelation. I wonder why I never heard the original? 🤷♂️
Me too
RJD2 is American and Labi Siffre is British, so it probably just never crossed the pond.
only real legends are here in 2024. (who is lil joey?)
he's a youtuber who mentioned the song in a video
LIL JOEY-
He's Little Joel's nemesis.
A rapper
@@briannawilliams97 ????
this is about his BOYFRIEND :)
I owe you little Joel
thank you joel.
as someone in a long distance relation ship this made me bawl.
💛
Thanks Little Joel
Time for dinner.
So glad to find this song during pride
My grandmother passed away a few weeks ago and I miss her dearly. Every saturday since I was a child she would call me and my brothers at 6pm. Every Saturday. She would never forget to call. Looking back I took it for granted because now, that hour between 6 and 7 on a Saturday that is no longer filled with her voice feels pointless. I heard this song the first time today and absolutely sobbed. Bless the telephone for letting me gain so much more time talking to my granny over the years. I'm so very lucky to have experienced a love like the one she gave me.
Aww, that's a really touching story. I'm sorry that you lost such an important person in your life and I'm in awe that you are able to dress it in such poetic words. Honestly, this comment made me tear up! Wishing you all the best :)
My Nana passed 6 years ago, but reading your comment brought back both her love and my grief over losing her like it was just weeks ago. It is a sort of beautiful pain, only made possible by the deep and unending love we shared through the years.
I’m sorry you are now experiencing the loss of your grandmother. The loss you feel is only as big as the love you shared, which is both painful and magical. I wish you so much peace and a reliving of your many wonderful memories together as you travel along your grief journey
Just found this song today thanks to my Spotify algorithm. Bless the smartphone
I discovered this today. The world makes a little more sense now, ya'know?
bless internet
Same
tiny little joel
For such a short and simple song it's genuinely so beautiful. So many relationships are just that, pure admiration for someone else that you're thankful for even small, everyday things that most people may not even acknowledge. I can't fathom why anyone would be against love like this, I hope everyone can be lucky enough to experience something this beautiful.
This amazing song perfectly describes how I feel in my long distance relationship. I'm crying. Thnks Joel
Ty little joe
little joel sent me
God damn... imagine being in the audience and you just burst into tears listening to this.. that would be me lol
Ok i guess it really is time for dinner
I lost my dad to suicide a few days ago.. all I wish for just now is to hear his voice one last time, wether that’s in person or via the phone ❤
i am so sorry for your loss, i hope you know you are not alone. stay strong ❤️
Sorry for ur loss , i lost my son 2 years ago id give anything to hear his voice , i hope u heal mate xxxx
This sounds like a true loves 1st kiss. Sweet and caring but not possessive.
Who cutting onions bro
This man is so remarkably talented! I've only recently "discovered" him--somehow, living in the U.S., I wasn't aware of him. And now I can't stop listening to his music!
Yeah I’m only 14 and I discovered him today
The "I love you" line is so beautiful
Wish this song was at least 3 mins long
It's nice to hear your voice again
I've waited all day long
Even wrote a song for you
It's strange, the way you make me feel
With just a word or two
I'd like to do the same for you
It's nice to hear you say "hello"
And "how are things with you?
I love you"
But very soon it's time to go
An office job to do
While I'm here writing songs for you
Strange
How a phone call can change your day
Take you away
Away
From the feeling of being alone
Bless the telephone
It's nice, the way you say my name
Not very fast or slow, just soft and low
The same as when you tell me how you feel
I feel the same way, too
I'm very much in love with you
I'm very much in love with you
In my opinion, this is the best song for a ringtone for a specific person
❤
He looks just like my dad. I miss ya pops
It’s nice to hear u say hello :(
hello :)
This my favorite artist now
where did you find him? I just realised he was one of Kanyes samples from "my song" then found this and im on the same page as you hahaha
@@baileedavidson3009 I saw a short on UA-cam about the origin of that Kanye song I wonder. Then found this genius labi siffre
@@pastogzz7167ha, my story like yours 😅
I feel like Kanye and other rappers really brought Labi to light for younger generations :) He’s also one of my favorites as well
Labi is a British singer. Songwriter and Poet. Now in his 70s.
i miss my mother i know i should call her more
i cant wait to relate to this song one day
That’s sweet :)
Such a beautiful artist lovely like I ☀️
God I miss my son this one is for you and I know I’ll see you soon.
This has to be one of the most romantic songs ever written.
It's crazy how he can sing and talk at the same time. Beautiful artist.
MOST UNDERRATED ARTIST BRITISH ARTIST EVER
I'm like this, but with root beer instead of the telephone. SEND
Cheating on Spezi now, are we
Northernlion tweet vibes
I am in love with this song, it reminds me of high school relationships that can sometimes mean a lot more than it seems.
The most pleasant voice ever
one of the most beauftiful songs on the planet 💓
So overlooked when the term legend is thrown around
i feel like you kind of proved your own point there
A friend has two daughters in their teens. One played guitar and the other sang this song. It is so beautiful. I hadn't heard it prior to listening to them and then to you. Thank you!
I listen to this song all the time because I live so far away from my family and it comforts me
Simply beautiful - one of my favourite songs when I hit 20. The words are so true....
I first heard this song in 1971 (I'm 75 now) and still love it - yes, it is a poem. Wish there were more of them : simple and so true about a love relationship
You've got great taste! Wonderful song.@@GrafindeKlevemark
Best advice I ever got was if there's someone you love, tell them as life is far too short to not remind them.
I heard his song My Song because of Kanye West. But listening his vast catalogue, today in 2023, his work is nothing short of mastery.
I just discovered him people been posting him. I'm in awe, he his so ahead of his time then. But he said in the 70s he doesn't want to be famous! He would of been huge and everyone would of heard of him but this the way he wanted it!
It’s been a long while that a song has brought me to tears. And I don’t even know why. It’s always the oldies too.
How does this not have more views, this song is so beautiful and good
I had no idea that this is where RJD2 lifter the smoked lyrics in Since we last spoke!
The best songs are always the shortest
What a voice 💛
Our wedding song. Brings tears to my eyes.
Tell us all about it
That’s beautiful ❤❤
This is my song
And no one can take it away
Beautiful choice, congratulations!
The most beautiful song I’ve heard
he showed this to me and I fell asleep listening to it. I have so many feelings
this is one of my favorite songs. i love seeing him play it live. his voice is so unique, so sincere. i love it!!!
Greatest love song ever written.
it's nice to hear you say
hello
and
how are things with you
i love you
My boyfriend sent this to me late night after a fight and I had it on my mind
marry him!
“It’s nice to hear you say my name..”
actually sobbing to this song
Gives Don McClean vibes
RJD2 brought me here 15 years ago
Wow! I haven't heard this for 50yrs. It's so beautiful
His compositions were so unique.
On my tenth listen in a row. Never heard of this man before what a beautiful song
Very simple love song, yet very powerful one.
"not very fast or slow, just soft and low." - my favorite line
just now discovering this song and Labi as an artist. I'm amazed. So beautiful
beautiful
Nah this is crazy tuff 🔥🔥🫶🏾
Labi, it's nice to hear your voice again 🤙
Fell in love...instantly ❤
Someone shared this me... what a sweet song. Does mean he's in love with me? Lol🤔☺💚
You are beautiful, I'm sure that is what it means
Who knows ? I always thought he was in love with me - lol !!!!
@@brycemarion118 so kind of u, thanku😊
He's a national treasure
Back when music was raw and heartfelt.... incredible
It still is.
@@Wonks1000it’s disrespectful to so many modern musicians to say it isn’t heartfelt or raw anymore; sure some of it is a money grab but plenty of it still is authentic; it’s just the genres or their sounds have changed throughout the generations.
New fan here
My heart ❤❤❤❤
the only song to make me cry
I can't stop listening even though it makes me cry
🌟
So beautiful and what a unique voice
I Hear Paul Simon And Tracy Chapman....Is It 0:49 Just Me.....Either Way I Love His Sound
Add canon in D. Very similar progression. Great song
I definitely got a bit of a Paul Simon vibe hearing this for the first time.
I heard this song once, ages ago, and never know who wrote/sang it until this morning when I stumbled upon a TikTok piece about Mr. Siffre. So glad I finally found it again -- such a lovely song.
I love this song
This is my favorite song
Thank you! Could you post "Make My Day" from this TV show or could you post the entire show if possible. I have asked the BBC many times to re broadcast this show on BBC 4 without any response from them! Thank you again for posting this beautiful song.
Beautiful song.
