I heard this song In high school maybe 12 years ago at this point. Man, does time fly…. I have been searching for this song for the last 5-6 years. Today, I rekindled a love I thought I’d never find again. To be honest, friends, I nearly shed a tear. I needed this today. I hope everyone is living beautifully. I love you all. Don’t let the bitterness of this world bring you down.
🇿🇼 🇬🇧 Tinashe Fazakerley now professionally known as Rationale, is a Zimbabwe born British singer and songwriter, formerly known as Tinashé. That's why we couldn't find him on Spotify etc🙂. Let's ask Rationale to share this beautiful song - Zambezi, everyone needs to hear this! ❤
Literally been 10 years and I still find myself coming back to this. I’m in a bad place right now and this is helping me allot! I was in high school when I first came across this and im 28 now and it still sound so new!
It gets better, it always will. Just stop, listen, and look outside and within to find your solution to your problems. It's never at the handle or barrel of a gun. That's all I can tell you. May Hashem bring you comfort and peace.
My favorite part is when he smiles at 1:55, on "you're the one", like he's remembering some stupid moment or inside joke that only the other would get, and realizing that stupid moments like that are the best ones because you love the moment not for any external reason but simply because you're with the one you love, and that "you're the one" is never more profound than in those moments.
It was clear on the first listening that this was spectacular. By the eighth listening, it was clear that this was one of the truest, most bittersweet love songs ever written.
A blind busker plays the mbira in Toronto's subway stations, and he is absolutely amazing. Once after work I watched and listened for 10 minutes and it completely made the bullshit day disappear. this is a sweet instrument and song!
I started shedding tears halfway into the song, didn't quite know why, as the text was rather upbeat but something clashed. And then I understood why that wasn't just a beautiful love song.
Weird when you keep revisiting a song for so long that you can’t remember how you found it! Can’t remember how I came across this, but so glad I did. Raw beauty
Anyone 2019 plus why is this so beautiful it makes me wanna cry where are u dude if u see this come back please dude u are the best probably impressing your family omg i wanted to not cry but i wanted to cry at the same time this guy has a beautiful voice keep up the great job have a wonderful and an amazing day :D
i am such a different person than i was when i first began listening to this song. Listening to this now makes so many memories flood back. Such a great artist and talent.
I came back to revisit this lovely song sung to a Kalimba (or variation thereof) I can't help thinking that the trees and birds and the bees and other critters enjoyed this as much as I do.
Your mbira songs outdoors (instead of in your home studio) are waaaaaay more aesthetically pleasing, much easier to sink into the vibrations. Thank you for this gorgeous, gorgeous video. It's kept me loving you for many months now... God bless on your unfolding musical path!
I sent this to a girl I had a huge crush on in senior year of high school. I couldn't remember exactly what it was called, until I remembered a few words and put them into Google with quotes. Still amazing. I wish I had gone somewhere w/ that girl; she was beautiful.
here from #googledoodle. I'm from Ghana and I'm ordering my mbira today because we need more Africans across the continent playing this intstrument - I first heard about it from Chinese youtubers and thought it was an ancient Asian instrument until I did my own research and found out it was African - none of them acknowledged where they copied the culture from, renaming it "kalimba."
Omfg I used to listen to this in 6th grade and now I’m a freshman in college making music and I looked this up and got the visdeo first try let’s go finna make a song to this beat ngl…
Oh my. I just saw a Facebook post about this instrument and I wanted to see how it sounds. Then I got to reading about how it has been haunting them for years in a good way. Now it will haunt me in a good way. His voice is incredible!
I'm randomly at this video now while browsing through old past likes. I have no idea how I found it originally... But if Day[9] linked it at some point, that probably explains it.
The first time I saw this was 7 years ago. I don’t think I’d have cared too much about moving back then, but now, it hurts more than ever, as I feel like I won’t get a chance to go back to the place I called home. Even if it was home for two years, I’ll still hold it on my heart for a very long time...
Day9 might of swaded me to view this video, but its not day9 who will make me keep listening to it over and over, its this guy. This is pure talent and this guy deserves to make it big.
I love both versions of this song but there is something about the simplicity of the video and instruments used that really compliments the moving lyrics and your amazing voice. You deserve far more views for this beautiful piece of art :)
I’ve been coming back to this song every so often for almost a decade. Where are you sir? You stir my soul. Thank you.
So i looked him up, and he is now a professional artist by the name of Rationale
haha same here man! back again for another ride!
MagChii and Rationales work is ANGELIC -especially Deliverance
Same here. Perfect song to sooth out.
Same. Probably once a year I’ve come back to this if not more.
13 years and this song still brings tears to my eyes
Yup. Every. Time.

You're a hero, I've been wondering about him for years.

This will be my first dance at my wedding 🥰 me and my partner have been listening to this for the last 7 years together ❤

Eleven years later, I'm still in love with this song!!!
A blind busker plays the mbira in Toronto's subway stations, and he is absolutely amazing. Once after work I watched and listened for 10 minutes and it completely made the bullshit day disappear. this is a sweet instrument and song!
I play it along on my kalimba. Such a beautiful song. Wished it was launched on Deezer and Spotify.
Pls send tab friend 🙏
Discovered this song 5 years ago. Kalimbas still always remind me of this, so I often comes back to it. Love the intimacy and melancholy
I wish this was on Spotify! Been listening to this for years
I was privileged enough to hear this live many years ago in london. The most emotive live thing i have ever seen live
This is probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I really want to give him a hug.

Right? Found him some years ago, by accident and fell in love. You're so right though.. beautiful.
He's apparently under the name Rationale now!
@@JessicaTsangjbktsang thx for telling me
Lol me reading the comments again a year later seeing a comment I already liked
He makes music under the name Rationale now
i am such a different person than i was when i first began listening to this song. Listening to this now makes so many memories flood back. Such a great artist and talent.
The sound, the story, the gift, Artistry... Thank you. I Dont know where you are right now, but this is a powerful piece.
amazing how a song can be played two ways and make you feel completely different even with the same lyrics.
Still remember my Mother showing me this when I was 6. So much Nostalgia.

Listened to this song about 300 times in the past 2 days and it's still as good as the first time. Gahhhhh, in love with ittttt.
After all the years its still one of the best songs i ever heard
I'm still madly in love with this song.
2022, still in love with this performance
Same here. Coming back every now and then over a decade. And so grateful you put so much into a simple song.
this is one of my favourite songs of all time.
I sent this to a girl I had a huge crush on in senior year of high school. I couldn't remember exactly what it was called, until I remembered a few words and put them into Google with quotes. Still amazing. I wish I had gone somewhere w/ that girl; she was beautiful.
the most angelic instrument and what a beautiful voice.... Angles realm down on this sad planet
I love this song (so much I had to sign in and save it).
There is such honesty in his voice.
Simple, beautiful, hypnotising... I wanna MORE!
Thank You Tinashe!
I think a lot of people like the mbira version due to the calmness of it and the angelicness of it.

Google Doodle brought me here too
I bought a Hugh Tracey Kalimba the same one Tinashe uses right after I watched this vid for the first time! So awesome
I love this version.
I play this song in my own kalimba (mbira). :D
can you write notes ???
dude... where are you now? you are missed
+L SunShyne he now goes under the name Rationale hes got a new single called fast lane
+abottleofRUMtv He was way better when he stuck to his roots, this new stuff is crap imo
+Michelle Rabena gee willikers; funny. whew, did he say soldiers? oh gosh gee tears
+Mingo Tubman I like gosh gee too is part of older expression
+L SunShyne I was thinking the same thing.... his first album was so good but we haven't seen him since!
A taste of another cultures music is always enlightening and enjoyable.
I'm only 18 years of age. I live in an age of music I don't really care for. But this song really touched me.
I’ve been back for 13 years. Wow
Omfg I used to listen to this in 6th grade and now I’m a freshman in college making music and I looked this up and got the visdeo first try let’s go finna make a song to this beat ngl…
I'm back again after 2 years!! Your voice is beautiful.
I had to search in all my messages from 5 years back to remember this song
I don't know how I heard this originally, but I've been carrying it in my heart for over a decade now. Thank you
Day[9] is a beast. Always picks the best songs.
I have always loved this song so much...
this song and rainymood were made for each other.
I am going to perform this song in california ..... i have a alto kalimba for the past year and love it!
Found this in my music appreciation class many years ago and it’s always in the back of my head
Man that its just beautiful, uncanny!
Real shit j had to listen to this in a music class and it went hard
Remember this from when I was a lil toddler :,)
My teacher from musician show us this song and me and my friends absolutely love it!!!
what a powerful performance on kalimba and vocals, very well done my brother!
Oh my. I just saw a Facebook post about this instrument and I wanted to see how it sounds. Then I got to reading about how it has been haunting them for years in a good way. Now it will haunt me in a good way. His voice is incredible!
Day[9] brought me here some years ago and I'm so glad he did
A fellow DayKnight!
Same, and I keep coming back after few months :D
I'm randomly at this video now while browsing through old past likes. I have no idea how I found it originally... But if Day[9] linked it at some point, that probably explains it.
And he played it again today.
I found this song buried in an old playlist of mine, so nostalgic listening to this
Been looking for this song for a few years...played it for my classes years ago and then forgot it and now I finally found it again
For everyone wondering where this artist is - He goes by Rationale now
Probably listened to this 10 times today
This song is pure experience, the experience of beauty and tragedy
bravo for bringing out the mbira to the spotlight.
simplicity..... something we should all convert back too
Tinashé you are an artist complete, this your woderful song is again more beautiful played with this paradise's instrument! Thanx!
This squeezes my heart in such a tenderly, brutally beautiful way.
I have a mbira..and this video is just sweeeeet to my soul.....INSPIRED!
came across this on a web page...all i have to say is wow. such a captivating artist
Truly beautiful Tinashe. ❤❤❤
Que linda música ♥️😍não acredito que eu so conheci agora, e nessa versão ficou ainda mais lindo
Listening to this for the first time and I also happen to be having a mango for the first time in months.
I really like this song. It's catchy and just a pretty song... Wow...
Just kidding! This song has actually become near and dear to my heart for years, on the wedding list
So beautiful it made me cry. Thank you
The one who made us do it.
The first time I saw this was 7 years ago. I don’t think I’d have cared too much about moving back then, but now, it hurts more than ever, as I feel like I won’t get a chance to go back to the place I called home. Even if it was home for two years, I’ll still hold it on my heart for a very long time...
LOVE IT!
Oh my god I love this!!
This is beautiful, gave me chills. Definitely sharing.

Day9 might of swaded me to view this video, but its not day9 who will make me keep listening to it over and over, its this guy. This is pure talent and this guy deserves to make it big.
LOVE LOVE LOVE
Ah HA! I found you. My teacher showed us this song a few years back. And I completely forgotten about it. But I found it :D
MixedScales exactly the same, for gcse music...
was racking my brain for ages trying to remember
MixedScales same teacher showed this to us at music appreciation
yea, been shown a bunch of songs but lost them one way or another. And it sucks because there's no way to search for these songs.
Exact same thing happened to me. Two years ago my teacher showed this to our class and it brought me to tears. I just had to hear it again!
Used to be my primary teacher for a bit.
Best music lessons I've had.
so pure and simply brilliant
This brings me back to when I used to play a Mbira as a kid... :)
Stunning!
Love in the most simple form..
Love it!
i love it!
I love both versions of this song but there is something about the simplicity of the video and instruments used that really compliments the moving lyrics and your amazing voice. You deserve far more views for this beautiful piece of art :)
