Eff yeh. I cried, stopped the first song on tiny desk and came here to listen to the studio version. Going back to finish crying, watching him stay human. ❤
I couldn’t have said it better. The first time i heard this song it was like a corkscrew on my 2020 bottle, ALL of it. Heavy, real, & beautiful. Top notch song writing!
this song sounds so timeless and authentic the vibes are so blissful. it sounded great on npr tiny desk but the studio version is 🔥👌😩 like that guitar solo dammmmn batiste you really killed this one and i’m here for it
This man is in a class all of his own , truly one of the greats who's talent shines. together with the added plus of a unique video I could listen to Mr Batiste for eternity Thank you so much
Wow! Just when you think Jon Batiste can't get any better, he takes it to a "whole 'nuther level." Like I've said before, greatest musician on the planet. "Cry" is so retro-gorgeous. Love it! Congrats to you, Jon, for the Golden Globe for Original Score!! God bless you, Jon. You bring us music, joy, activism, and "Soul." Peace, love, and props, RE-VO
Such a perfectly delivered, heavy song. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Jon. How he chooses to use his voice makes me believe there’s still good in this world. What a truly beautiful individual, i can’t wait to hear the rest!!!🤘🖤🤘
Cancer Sucks, but it gives us the gift of appreciation for the "small" things, that are actually The Only things. Live Every Day! Dare to LOVE! LOVE2ALL
No this sounds like the 60’s - 70’s era Al green .. guitar riff sounds like 40’s -50’s Chuck Berry this is a classic Jon Batiste makes real music Wow a true star🤩
Just over half a million views!? I'll eat my shoe if this isn't a classic song in the next twenty years. This has, with all due respect, far more dept and quality then Leave The Door Open.
John Batiste, you have been gaining my respect for the past few year, this song put you in my heart . You got me! Thank you for being the wonderful man you are.
Song speaks to so much. I’m old, in constant pain, and all these young men dying my heart if so heavy sometimes I don’t think I can move or breathe but I do.
The Difference between sampling your music versus knowing how to read, write music and play the instruments. Reading, writing and playing instruments = Musical Genius.
Just the song I needed for today. I can do hard, I can do tedious, but there is nothing more painful than inconsideration / people imposing their wills and values /opinions & judgements on other's lives. So unfais and disrespectful. This is the pain I feel today and when I hear Jon's raw, soulful, genuine music, it strikes a chord and makes me feel less alone with my thoughts. Thanks so much Jon😌.
I still remember the first time I heard this on your Tiny Desk, and before that, your delightful quips with Stephen on the Late Show. Look at you now! I am so proud of you, Jon. You are a positive male role model! This for the kids.
So many personal things happening in my life over the past year and a half…listening to this song now…wow, deep, but Jon’s song has touched my soul, and I understand it.
I understand what you're saying, he might be too good for this world, but he is soooooo needed here right now.....may he be here for many years to come.
My favorite song of all time! There is nothing that is more healing to me rn than crying to this song. It's literally one of the best things in my life. Thank you so much Jon Batiste!
so very soulful, and a hint of beatles near the intro, it seemed. a wondrous melange of sound. i don't know who played the brief guitar lead, but it was fire.
Is this man tortured by love( or the lack of it)? I feel this song, for I am the lonely man in the desert, of loneliness. Get Down John. All the best Shaun of NYC ( Third )
Well Towards the end of the song, he says “loss of innocence, struggle of the immigrants, unjust imprisonments...” So I’m gonna go with systemic racism and deep injustice?
UA-cam really needs to create a “love” alongside of the like and dislike .. “like” just doesn’t cut it for this song ...
touché Monica
Bravo
Agreed
Amen 🙌
There should be "awards" like on Reddit
Something about him is so genuine.
EVERYTHING about him is genuine, and that is rarer than the most coveted gem on earth.
He is the real thing.
Yes
No, everything about him is genuine. 😉
That’s why he won a Grammy in 2022.
When I heard Jon's NPR tiny desk, my two favorite songs were "Cry" and "I need you." Glad to see both became singles!
Best tiny desk ever!
That’s exactly how I felt when I saw Jon’s tiny desk - wow - just WOW.
@@rosalindglazer7454 I watched it at least 100 times.
Yes, fantastic tiny desk!The sheer joy and talent of the instrumentalists was so fun to watch!
Eff yeh. I cried, stopped the first song on tiny desk and came here to listen to the studio version. Going back to finish crying, watching him stay human. ❤
I don't know why but this speaks to every emotion I've felt in 2020
My exact sentiments... encompasses what many of us have experienced in 2020 right through 2021 in the most simplest way
I couldn’t have said it better. The first time i heard this song it was like a corkscrew on my 2020 bottle, ALL of it. Heavy, real, & beautiful. Top notch song writing!
all i did was cry for you amanda
Is there nothing this man can't do? Jon is a musical genius!
It feels like this song came out in the 70's/80's and everyone has known it since. Instant classic for me.
Maybe because it has been around since the 70's
@@kellynorton3811 dun dun duuuun! Jon Batiste and Steve McEwan are the songwriters.
@@willfrank961 no fooling. I was referring to the style there Sherlock
I totally agree !
@@kellynorton3811 this beauty has one hell of a hook!!!
Jon’s spirit is so bright. Be sure to purchase the single to support this brother!
This is an instant classic. I can see it as a soundtrack on a movie. Like when the protagonist is at a pivotal moment.
MAN! I'M LOVIN THIS SONG!!! It gives me Al Green mixed with B.B. King Vibes!
FACT
I also here a bit of Daryll Hallq
this song sounds so timeless and authentic the vibes are so blissful. it sounded great on npr tiny desk but the studio version is 🔥👌😩 like that guitar solo dammmmn batiste you really killed this one and i’m here for it

Jon is walking sunshine. Love this!! Timeless tune from an old soul. killing it. Go Jon!!
Oooooh, the end verses that speak on the reasons one wants to cry...oh that list can be so long today...including the state of the world.
Your words are well received.

Such a talented man , real music,
I’ve been Batiste’d!!!
I’m not even a fan of this genre of music but this is so good I can’t stop listening it.
A polyphonic audio massage with modalities that stir," the beast."
Feels like his music is fresh but also plays homage to delta blues
Voice smooth as butter
Never heard this one from him til right now! 💕💥
😍 es como bocanada de aire fresco, al fin algo diferente. Excelente. Quien en español le gusta esto? 👍🏻
This fucking song is just incredible. It lifts me up despite how deep it is.
I’m ready! 💕
Man, your voice is smooth like butter.
There are only a handful of artists that touch something in my soul. This young man is one of those artists!
Instantly flashed back to the tiny desk performance 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Difference between sampling your music versus knowing how to read, write music and play the instruments.

I can't get enough of this guy. Jon Batiste is AWESOME!!🙂🙂
Beautiful Jon Batiste
No fluff on this man's album. This is all substance. Can't praise it enough!

I was listening to "I need you" ... So i found this song ... Its really heart-touching 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💜💜
Fantastic Blues song. Love it.
Yes, indeed.
♥️ Fast becoming my go-to phrase.
I can feel the desperateness in his voice 👍👍👍
Straight fire, dude

Is that Robert Randolph on the track? Getting some Bill Withers vibes on this one.
Yes, RR on steel guitar!
The world needs you 💛
I feel happy about this way of crying 😢 let it all out .....
Love this song. When I hear it, I hear elements of the Eagles "I Can't Tell You Why."
Ouuuuuuuwee! Jon channeling is inner Stevie Wonder in this one!
Beautiful!
A CLASS ACT
