Lyrics
I Won't change my name
No matter what you call me
I lost my only friend
And I'll Grieve you till the end
Am I Your Hero
Am I Your Hero How
To Die a Hero
Is All That We Know Now
Am I Your Hero
Am I Your Hero Now
Am I Your Hero
Am I Your Hero Now
Please Don't Shoot Me Down
I Loved You Like a Brother
It's On The News Again
I Guess They Killed Another
Am I Your Hero
Am I Your Hero Now
To Die A Hero
Is All That We Know Now
Oh We All Get Told To Go
Alone
Oh We Know It's All For Show
We Know, We Know
Am I Your Hero
Am I Your Hero Now
To Die a Hero
Is All That We Know Now
Am I Your Negro
A Fallen Hero Now
Hear No See No
Speak No Evil Now
My Amigo
No Gun To Reload Now
A Broken People
They Go Were We Go Now
#KIWANUKA
Michael is the greatest talent to come out in the last 20 years. I am 67 and have been listening to music since the womb. This young man "has it" and "gets it".....hard to explain but that's where I'm at.
dobby glis is that you
Rare talent with penetrating 60's soulful blues vibe
Try and see black pumas too.
Ko jgn lebih2 la sial
Old Soul!
The last 2 months i discovered Kiwanuka and Black Pumas and i am listening them all day every day
giannis sioutis good month for you brother haha soul and rock n roll are back
Yes very good artists you should check out Samm henshaw for more soul music
Same, heard Black Pumas from their first Instagram ad, best ad iv ever gotten. So good!!!
the best way to start the year
Igualmente 🎉
"I won't change my name. No matter what they call me."
WOW So fucking powerful.
I thought this song was from the 70s. The vibe is unreal
Pure gold in this era of music. We want more music like Michael's
This era....like Today? lol
Fragkiskos Sigalas yes
@@clumsiii like this decade - but hope for the best of the upcoming one
Hell yeah!!!!
So many people say music is dead but they just haven't explored enough, this is easily the best time for music there has ever been. So many incredible artists
Uganda is proud of you Kiwanuka! child of the soil🌸
L u babe
I was in a clothing store yesterday, not paying particular attention to the overhead music until this song came on. I stopped what i was doing and did a quick web search. I came home and i think I've listened to it 10 times now. This song has touched my soul in a way I haven't had in years❤❤❤
Same scenario for me. I couldn't figure this out until this morning.since the store sound system and the background noise made it difficult for me to hear the words correctly. This is soooo good.
All along the watchtower vibes all over this track. In the sense that this truly is a song of its time. We will all be time travelling back to this time due to this song.
It sounds like its a lot hendrix influenced but still unique. Just 🔥🔥
As they say, "One Man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist".
This is a powerful song. A beautiful, necessary reminder. And for that, you are our hero.
No mate... This video depicts the racism and them false allegations the white government (I mean no offense there are many great whites in history) how government used to take out the voice which asked for equal rights, a right to be treated equally so they used such tricks to shut em down in some cases kill.... Saddest truth
On behalf of all white people I apologize for Ted Bundy's reply
Madeeha Majid 👍👍👍
✊ W🙌W
@Ted Bundy wait did this maggot say? whites have a "homeland"? You and your forefathers never had a homeland. Race became an issue when the whites forcibly took over land that did not and never will belong to them. Made colonies. However, go on with your rambling of the "current" situation Professor Trump. As if discrimination against white people was never going to happen....karma bitch. Enjoy.
The live version of this he did on the Graham Norton show was simply sublime.
Yes I watched it to and it was beautiful to watch and listen
Agreed
This is one of those songs you can simply keep on replay for hours.
Such a talent.
"Love & Hate" was the sound of an artist spreading his wings. "Kiwanuka" is the sound of artist taking flight and soaring high above the clouds.
Completely Underrated and UnderValued Outstanding Artist Period ! This Man should be a Chart Topper Anywhere and Everywhere , Has an Retro Vibe and Just Pure Fire🔥🔥🎶🔥🔥🎤☑️🙏
I love this man's musical style. He's for real. And for the age group he's in...not typical. He's original and fresh. Love. Live love love him!
*CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING THE MERCURY PRIZE*
Keep it up kiwanuka
Yes, you are my hero, for saving my mind in a mindless world.
How is possible that this song doesn’t have a couple 100 millions viewers? 🙀
Had to find this incredible artist after watching him on The Graham Norton Show. Blew me away.
I found him after watching Graham as well
FW Gre I found him after watching Big Little Lies and Seven Seconds. Love his music!
Same here m8
FW Gre ....I actually heard him for the first time on Steve Wrights Radio 2 program
Me too !!!
Much Respect Mr. Michael. You are a Gifted Man & an Old Soul.
Suena en Radio Doble 9
Lima, Peru!
I have goosebumps all over my skin. Can’t stop listening. This is pure gold in my ears
Jimi Hendrix - All along the watchtower vibes
Came her to leave that reaction. Same vibe & sound.
YESSSSS
I thought the same, we need the next Jimi Hendrix hopefully he can fill the boots and last a bit longer
Crossed with Riders on the Storm
I reckon.
My friend said the same thing when she heard it.
Michael is brilliant, I hope he's with us for a long time to come.
Your a breathe of fresh air Michael Kiwanuka yet, your not appreciated nearly enough...ijs
Exactly how I feel & why I tell so many people about him.
his music is out of this world.
I discovered the singer when I heard his song played on the opening of 'Big Little Lies' TV drama. Love his albums now
IS BSO of black lighting :D
What a strong statement in the introduction, "I lost my only friend and I'm bleeding 'til the end"
Actually I misheard it
The sounds you bring in your music is phenomenal. Vintage vibes as always. Thanks Michael for this lovely track.
Michael is A DIAMOND!!!! What an incredible artist... HANDS DOWN.

This song is so relevant today.
Was JUST thinking this... How many front line "heros" were just thrown on the street
Music is so powerful
If this was recorded back in the 60's it would be up there with Hendrix's Along the Watch tower and Stones' Gimme Shelter as one of the greatest songs of Vietnam War era.
Right-on, brother
Literally the same chords
Good song, but if you believe that, you're high af
sounds copied from All Along The Watchtower
@@jodybeskinirutherfordcoanimal Copied or inspired by? I'd argue the latter.
Thanks Michael for bringing back the spirit of the 70's
This Brother is from a whole different time 👑
When I first heard this I was driving….made me pull over and say just WOW….BRILLIANT
Brilliant Michael. Just brilliant.
Everyone of Michael's songs gets better with each listen, Cant wait for the album brotha!
Love his voice and his playing abilities are off the hook......Yes to more from Michael......
I am so in love with this music, hard to describe. it transcends all shades of my being..
Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr. and now Michael Kiwanuka are keeping the flame alive!
I would trade Joe for John Mayer any day.
For life brought me here and I tell you what it’s a blessing from God to just hear Mr Michael kiwanukas voice! This man is a Gift from God and should be protected at all cost....
Love this song
Just heard this song for the first time on For Life
Xavier Ortiz same! Those last three episodes were insane eh?
@@user9936 yes they were
Hello Guys hope everyone is doing well and hope everyone’s family is doing well. Yes Guys this song is so Amazing, I can’t stop listening to it. For life season 1 was indeed a Great show right? Hope and can’t wait for season 2. Be safe Guys and Bless Y’all....

Same for me
he is one hell of a guy man.... each time he brings some awesome tracks ...love u MK
Such a Soulful masterpiece
Absolutely my favorite musical artist! Genuine pure soul!
Literally just discovered this Guy - I feel revived. Class tune mate.
Same
I discovered him today, Cloves(another amazing artist) was talking about artists she listens to, I am glad i watched that interview/live session!
Check out Labrinth while you're at it then
No need to say "literally", just a misoverused word.
I wonder if Michael knows that he wrote the song that defined 2020
Looking back I'm sure he smirks from time to time
@@sloshed-rat it was a hard year to smirk at, but I think he'd be proud of his contribution
Omgosh best comment ever .I feel his lyrics.So powerful so theripuetic
I used this as inspiration while on the front lines
Well done Mr. Kiwanuka, powerful in many ways!
absolutely phenomenal. I'm in love with this album already
Am feeling so proud of you
mR.Micheal🇺🇬 🎶
This is beautiful music!!! Truly amazing that people still make such great music. This is true art!!!
FOR LIFE brought me here! This dude is frickin' awesome! Would love to see him live.
Love Michael.. highlt talented.. one of those guitarists whose style you instantly recognise.. like Johnny Marr, Hendrix, Robert Cray etc.. and a sublime voice.. stand out artist in a bland world..
This song is just amazing. What a talent. Pure talent.
So refreshing to see artists with a mind, heart & soul, and talent. Pure gold. Thank you!
“We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying
than what anyone else can inflict.”
― Jim Morrison
I still love this! I recall this getting into the charts, I then went on to listen to Michael's wider album & it's pure joy & a great vibe.
I love finding new music. I’m late to this party but I’m here to stay now!
Love Michael's music, the moe I hear the more I love it. A true artist in rare form.
Here we go again. All aboard riding through and away. Blissful.
This guy breathes life back into me... I feel like I am coming back to life
Love the song and the voice really is unique
Your name is your spirit💯. Your voice is golden.
Sounds like 80's south African music...I love it
He's name sounds like he's from the Buganda tribe in Uganda
@@bernsb6929 yes..it is
This is flawless. Absolute masterpiece. Written wonderfully, loving the guitar work and the vocals fit this so well
Fantastic songs and singer...thank you Michael...from Spain!!
This album is pure fire! there are no words to describe it, I just adore every song! Can't wait to listen to it live
Yes, you are ONE of my HERO'S. Thank you Michael.
I love his music.
Michael Kiwanuka brought me here.
This is so powerful. This song needs to skyrocket.
What a great sound, just heard it on the radio, now my favourite song
Kiwanuka always gives us the best music ! This is The Pure Music ! You are Our Hero Kiwanuka ! Thank You !
Absolutely love his music.......slot of his songs have a strong Hendrix vibe to them. I wasnt born in that era, however his music takes me there!
Such power and soul.
This man is magic.
Soul is able to breathe when the connection is open for musical genius..
Heard this on Steve Wright in the Afternoon today while driving home from work... blown away!
The BEST musician I've heard in a long, long time! I can't get enough.
Yes!
Some of the finest drumming I've heard in years.
Incredible album.. thanks Michael!!!
Thank you Kiwanuka, one of the people keeping real music alive. Every single album has such class!
Exactly how I feel
Loved Michael since his first album. So happy to see so many people here appreciating his artistry. My favorite musician. Just listening to his music restores my soul.
Pam Stuckey I always thought this sounded like Hendrix
To my ears, this sounds like the perfect mix of late 60s/early 70s rock and 90s trip-hop. Amazing.
It is always a good day when you discover an artist and the music has such a depth, that it actually makes you feel alive.
I absolutly adore this!!
Pure gold
Hero! Soul music with a distinctive voice
Today is the first day I've heard this music. I cant believe he's not on every single radio in the world. Such talent and his voice is the best.
Just falling in love with this artist and Black Pumas also. If anyone has anymore with this feel please share! Looking forward to more.
Devon Gilfillian!
Jacob banks
