Lyrics:
Goodnight my Love
It's been a long day
To bring my spirits up
Ain't gonna be easy
I'll see you in the morning
I'll put a smile on my face
You won't even speak to me
So why am I to stay
So take my hand
Cause this is where I stand
Yes I need to know
If you're even there
Yes I need to know
If you're still here
Your love is faded
As faded as your jeans
You don't love me anymore
But you won't leave
I keep trying to make you happy
But it gets harder and harder
I keep on giving my love
It's like you don't even want it
I can't keep it up anymore
Yes, I'm gonna walk out that door
It's like you don't even care anymore
But I need to know
So take my hand
Cause this is where I stand
Tired of your lies
And no helping hand
So take my hand
Cause this is where I stand
Cause I need to know
If you're even here
Yes I need to know
If you're still there
Yes I need to know
If you're still here
Been sitting here listening to some of this kid's originals, and not a single one I haven't loved...that's impossible...?
I absolutely love and adore this kid! I pray that he goes far and stays as simple and sweet as he is now! He is so gifted and is such and blessing! I'm so thankful that God has shared him with the world! God Bless you Sawyer!
With a voice like that, you can change the world.
Sawyer is the new king just watch how many try to imitate his natural gift.long live this young gifted king
it kills me that people are listening to this kid and don't even know how incredible he is. just chattering in the background with no clue. I'd like to wish this young man Sawyer the best of luck in the future and by the sounds of things, he is going to be a great artist with many followers to come. He sings from the soul and without any care who is watching. God Bless this young man! I enjoy listening to his work! really nice work!
***** If they aren't in total awe, and don't see the raw talent that you have, then they are deaf or stupid,
But then again, there are those that think Bieber has talent. Soon you will be playing to the masses, and those that appreciated your talent from the beginning will be that much richer in the soul, for it.
I know!! Every time I hear them talking I just cringe and think, "what is wrong with these people?" He's incredible and they're just ignoring this amazing artist. Sawyer, please, just keep being amazing for the people who appreciate your amazing music. This song is so beautiful!! 💜
He is very aware of EVERYTHING that is going on around him while he performs, but it doesn't phase him. He still pulls from that special place inside of himself. A young man with an ole soul,,,a gift, truly. I pray that he stays surrounded by "good" people, (influences). He is quiet and humble, but is SO young. The dangers now will surround. Stay strong Sawyer, stay true. You are amazing and my prayers are with you.
Eddy Young I agree in Prayer with you for Sawyer. I also felt that he will be running into cut throats and other dangers. Sawyer just keep the focus on your singing just like you do when you perform...focus on that and don't let anything distract you.
C Lewis yes,,,,very good,,,I agree
Wow! It brought tears. Sawyer has this gift of empathy and understanding human souls in himself and others.
This dude def has what it takes. He sings with so much heart and soul its unbelievable. He makes you feel whatever emotion he sings about, he is AMAZing
He really, really does!
I don't mean any disrespect but how does this kid that has never been in a relationship(probably) write from such an honest yet broken place? It boggles my mind. And to think in another few years when you have truly experienced life and love your music will be even more powerful. You sir are an old soul. I don't even know if you know just how special you are. I've never said this before but I truly believe that you will be the voice of your generation. Stay true and blessed. .
pixigirl999 because maby the emotion comes from a LONGING guess you JUST don;t get it ... when one writes music it can come from ...anywhere
I was being hyperbolic so save the condescension for someone that cares.
pixigirl999 He will be the voice of his generation and the voice FOR all generations.
Cristy Gore no I believe your confused his song "please" is by Ray Lamontagne not this one I don't think
What part of new "original" by Sawyer Fredericks were you having trouble comprehending? This is an 8 month old video when barely anyone knew this kid existed and you really think Ray LaMontagne wrote this song for him? LOL...let me guess you're a Sawyer hater or one of the numerous "I don get it" people out there*rolls eyes* For the record Ray wrote Please.
Unbelievable. Keep on keeping on.
You are very welcome.
*****
you could speed up the melody and sing this on the Voice? :) Love your sole in your tone
It's like his voice is crying. And now my heart hurts.
Splatter Of Paint I love the way you put that. :)
Thanks ^-^ Yeah I dunno it's the only way i can really put his voice into words in a decent way haha. So glad he won, he really deserved it and I'm glad his style of music is finally getting noticed :)
I've watched every season of The Voice. (that's a lot of talent, young and old). I'm in awe of your voice Young Sawyer. The very best of luck to you. God Bless.
So I just have to say, i am overwhelmed at the talent you have. Sitting in my lunch room at work last night I always play around on my phone before I start my shift and in the background they have a tv, well The Voice was on and as focused as I was on my phone, when you're performance began I was instantly intrigued, this song and Any of my Trouble pull at my heart. I honestly cannot wait for an album, tour, merchandise and to show you to all of my friends and family. You have such an amazing voice and I truly wish the best for you, good luck in your career man.
Should've checked iTunes first, just found you haha can't wait to listen to you some more!
You had me at "good night". The coolest thing about you is that the show will end and it doesn´t matter if you even win, ´cause you are gonna last. We can tell by your music that you have been living for a while...
I agree he sings from the soul. I don't understand that there is no videos here that are current. Sawyer honey where are you?? We miss you. Want to hear more. Just ignore the ignorant people who cant appreciate music and your blessed gift. Please give us more. Hugs
+parisdoll52 Hi, Go to Newyorker9's channel for Sawyers most recent live performances. You'll find the best videos there. He is amazing!!!!!!! Peace
thank you so much!
Your welcome!
Oh Sawyer.. you're already a star... i love you already,. you're sooo talented... i can feel the song.. really.. i've never felt this way before while listening to a song.. you are one of a kind Sawyer..
I cannot wait for your album. Really love your voice...I can imagine playing it on the weekend when I'm trying to relax, taking care of the house, reading, whatever. Just a beautiful voice with such heartfelt songs. SO happy for you, Sawyer. We need more genuine, wise souls in this world.
He captures our hearts. It's been wonderful to follow this young man. He has the qualities of a great artist. Thank You Sawyer, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Such an incredibly gifted young man! Voice is beyond words! Love your music Sawyer!!!
I love the soul of this guy, because here is where his music comes from and hit your own soul, like the blues is meant to do. He interprets the blues like no one I have heard in a long time, and most welcome it is. Please tour Scotland soon.
The talent is undeniable and I want this kid to have the most amazing career. He is spectacular.
After all this time......I just love these "younger" songs...I listen to all your songs..old and new...
love the sound of your voice . ....
Keep singing from your soul. Don't ever stop singing from your soul.
My heart breaks whenever I hear you. That's a good thing. I grew up on Blues and you evoke the sadness in my soul that I felt as a teen, in a terrible situation but one that made me stronger. Please do not let the L.A scene run you down. Your original music is just as good as some blues legends,,,especially this one. I am not religious but let your vision and kindness blaze your trail.
Sawyer , I am a fan...Can't wait to see what you do in the future,what you've already done is amazing and special..Thanks for sharing your gift..
this man is unbelievably talented with soul put to every word he utters
Yesterday, I could express my gratitude for this beautiful song to Sawyer on his profile of Instagram and he answer me if only two letters: TY. Just this, and my night are so happy and relax. "TY" 🎩
Such power in his voice that can rewrite the direction of a soul.
You are amazing, stay true and pure. Never forget these times they made you who you are today. People are going to love you all over this great world.....
Sawyer's voice is literally the epitome of perfection. I literally can't focus on anything but his voice when I play one of his videos. I can't believe I didn't know who he was before the voice.
You are phenomenal, Sawyer. You have what so many performers lack. Heart and soul. It is evident that very thing, is what drives you. You have a lot of passion in your voice. ALL the best to you in pursuing your dream.
In this day and age of Autotune and fake musicians who CANNOT play and instrument, it is so REFRESHING to see/hear this young man doing it so BIG! Sawyer, there are big things headed your way! I wish I had just a fraction of the talent you possess!! Keep going in the direction you are going, UP!
Congrats..I'm one of those people that knew you would win when you sang your first note on the voice stage. Please please whatever you do don't let them auto-tune you. You don't need it. You are perfection! Every little nuance in your voice belongs there. Don't mess with perfection. You have a very rare gift to move people. Keep your family close because they will always have your back. We are a society that likes to build people up the revel in tearing them down. So protect yourself and stay true to your music. You deserve all the good things that come out of this. Not just because of your talent but because of who you are. Well grounded good roots. Your parents I'm sure are very proud of the children they raised.
agreed...
agreed...
You have such an incredible talent. I'm amazed that you can not only sing and play like you do but you write so beautifully. It sounds like a modern folk mixed with something else.
this boy is only 16 and he already feels musical talent and the pain of growing up.. it's been fifty years since we've had a talent like that. Hope the boy Sawyer becomes the man Sawyer and he really reminds me of another poet, song writer. Just happened across him the other night and this boy has got another "desolation row" in him. In case you wonder, I really like this kid,
It don't come easy, so ride while you can, cause sometimes you walk.
Sawyer you are awesome! I can't wait to buy your music!
Sawyer you literally blow my mind every single time I listen to you. Every time I replay a song you sing it just gets better. Your voice is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. You are so perfect, never stop singing!
Creo que naciste para encender el corazón de quienes te escuchan. Un abrazo desde Chile Sawyer.
Took the word's out of my heart and mind ......
I was never into the voice until I saw Sawyer audition. He is perfection in every way, shape and form. I will be watching the voice for the first time just to see this beautiful soul sing. He is by far the best singer I have ever heard!
Magical, you're beautiful in every way and I will continue to keep listening to you. Your voice and your lyrics really speak to me. Thank you.
your so amazing Sawyer. We all love you keep up the good work.
Incredible talent!! You are A-Mazing Sawyer!! I saw you recently on The Voice and became an instant fan!! You will go far and I wish you every success.
Oh yes! I am from Ontario, Canada and I can assure you Sawyer...this country will adore you!! :)
I am a product of the 60s and 70s music age and you stir awesome remembrance of a combination of some of the best soulful sounds of that era including bob dylan, mama cass, ronstadt, and many other greats. At some point in time others eill ge compared to your greatness. Bol
doug alexander I hear it too, amazing soul this young man has. Caught him on the Voice show by accident - became instant fan. Hope we hear much more of this from him... we need a "great" artist again with this genre of heart.
***** Would love to hear you do Jake Bugg- "Broken"
+Sawyer Fredericks I genuinely like him. I don't know him personally but I do like the person I think he is. I'm just to years younger than him like come on :))))
I don't ever want to stop listening to him sing, his voice is addicting! ^^ He's wonderful~ good luck on The Voice! ❤
I keep saying I've heard everyone's voice on the voice before...but I've never heard a sawyer Fredericks before!! U deserve to win good luck
I love your originality, Sawyer. Just found out about you today. Your voice and your songs have touched my heart deeply. You are truly talented and amazing. I wish you the best!
Man, your voice is unimaginable! Hello from sunny Russia!
Im stunned ..I watched at least 20 of your videos including the Voice / and Im simply floored..Its been years since I have heard an artist that moves me to tears, you have something soulful . honest and magical in your heart and music Tahnkg god in this world of canned pop music and phony autotuned singers there are still REAL artists being born !
the moment I heard his first notes on the voice in his audition I knew he was going to win. We took bets and posted them so you couldnt have fair weather supporters. I knew. He has a rich full voice from heaven that reaches deep into your soul and grabs your attention. It doesnt hurt that he has and old soul and a face of an angel to go with it.
He has a long and winding career in front of him and I am looking forward to listening to him grow.
Stay true to yourself. Godspeed.
The Best I have heard in long long time. His voice is mind blower.
He reminds me of James Taylor. Sawyer is a natural story teller.... Love him. .. He is a rarity ... . He is a bright light in what is now a talentless industry....
Dude. My girlfriend and I watch the voice just to hear you sing. keep it up and God bless you. Can't wait to purchase your cds...
You are so awesome. Ive watched all of your Youtbe videos and your original songs are my favorites Your voice cuts right into my soul. Im a fan. Ive watched many seasons of the voice american idol and the x factor and this is the first time I have ever voted for anyone. You seem so sweet and genuine. Dont ever lose that or you'll lose your soul If you look at the greats John Fogerty, Aretha, Joni Mitchell, the ones that atand the test of time stayed down to earth Share your gift with love and kindness
Your voice is phenomenal, everything about it makes the day seem brighter. Your voice is exactly what we needed to save today's music. Thank you for being so amazing.
I couldn't believe those people were talking! I was speechless. This gave me goosebumps! I'll be buying your album, and can't wait to see you on the Voice this season. You can win it all! Keep that pure soul and spirit. God bless!
Sawyer. Wow. Man you are just. Idek hlw to put it. Your only a star on the voice. But no, you are soooo much more. You are suuch an inspiration to me. Your amazing, and humble, you are star quality. I really really hope you the best. Just keep singing. Please, keep singing. The whole world needs to feel fhe feeling I get when you sing. Good luck man.
From the moment I first heard him sing, he captured me. His voice is so powerful and so strong. It sent chills down my spine. I know he is going to go very far and I can't wait to see this journey.
Crazy to think that such a timeless voice can come from a 16 year old!! The more I listen to you the more blown away I am by your talent. There really is no teaching what you can do! Someone with your talent is hard enough to find, but adding such kindness and having no ego is even more rare. You're gonna have a loooooong and awesome career ahead of you. I wish you the absolute best of luck on the voice and everything that will come after!! absolutely amazing
Nothing but a mic and a guitar...all voice & soul!!! Powerful young man I would love to see him go really far! He needs to be heard!
I actually feel emotion listening to you sing. You are an incredible songwriter and musician. I'll be praying for you my friend.
I just told every single person I know... "If you miss him... Don't worry he'll be around for another 60 years" dude you're the real deal... And don't do anyone else's work! You can write! Peace be with you!
Sawyer you rock!! Stay true!!

I really hope you win the voice, because you are so amazing, and there are no words to describe how amazing you are. Best of luck during the lives! You must win!
Wow. How can a human hold that much talent? His voice is haunting.. Shine on♥
Amazing. This was mesmerizing - no traffic, no chattering, nothing else mattered - just your voice, your words, your ability. I saw you on the Voice tonight (even though I don't normally watch it), and from the first note, you had such soulfulness, such control but also passion, such originality. I was blown away. It led me to search you out here, and I'm so happy to discover you're a talented songwriter as well as musician. I will watch the Voice as long as you're on it, and I wish you all the success you deserve, there or elsewhere. You also seem like just a really good person, as far as I can tell, and that makes me want to root for you even more.
Sawyer You have such an amazing talent, I believe that you will be very successful with your voice, I am so glad that I discovered you through the voice. I think that you will win! I am in a choir in high school and we are always talking about your amazing talent and how it is crazy that you can just move people. I love your voice and I think that it is just going to keep getting better. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world!
Your music is therapeutic for me =) makes me calm
I was just watching the voice and when you came onto sing my heart dropped. Everything you sing is incredible and the songs you write are amazing. Don't let anything stop you from doing what you love!
Uuuugggghhhhh (gut wrenching sound of amazement and awe)!!!!! I am so mesmerized by his voice. Every note is like a wave of emotion. Sawyer you were blessed with this talent and Pharrell Williams said it in the audition rounds - you were destined to do this. I can't wait to hear you over the coming years and see how you develop.
Your going places kid. Even if you don't win this season of The Voice, don't let that discourage you. Keep on making passionate music
Sawyer you reach a heart wrenching ability to affect the deepest of the soul in a way that can feel for us all and at a young age is just so incredible & has to be a Gift from God. Your parents made a great choice by home schooling you to be able to bring out the gift you have. May you go far to the dreams you have made for yourself & a big ty to your parents family & friends.
My fifteen year old daughter Elizabeth is in love w/your singing!! She has bought everyone of the songs available on iTunes! You are fantastic! 👍👏✌️ oh and we live in NY too!

Thats talent, making sure you sing to every single person listening to you. Keep up the GREAT singing. Best wishes on The Voice!
This has to be the most powerful song I've ever heard. As said, Sawyer has an old soul, but.. How..? How can you put so much talent In such a boy.. He's 17 years. He is the most believable artist out there.
