Back in high school people thought I was weird when I told them Seal was my favorite singer. Years later they finally understand. This man sings from his soul to yours.
I was listening to him way back when I was in middle school, and I can relate to you in that my friends thought I was weird too for listening to him. He was never my favorite singer, but I have always enjoyed his music.
@@xoxxobob61 I vividly remember driving in Chapel Hill, listening to the radio when his 1st album came out. "Crazy" came on the radio. I drove straight to a pay phone (they existed back then), called the station for the artist's name, then drove straight to the record store for the CD. Crazy & this are 2 of my absolute fave songs of all time.
@@kellyhoward6941 That's funny because I heard the song on the radio before work in the morning & went to the record store after work to buy the CD as well! It was stuck in my head all day long at work.
This album came out the year I was born. My father had this cd, and played when I slept. I remember in my dreams, this song lifted my tied spirit and made the dreams better. This song still lifts my spirit with joy.
I wash my faith in dirty water 'Cause it gives my mind a little order And I play that game, just like I should do But my whole world, slips away I live my life, I live it slowly And I take my time, I'm in no hurry, yeah .......... I'm livin' And when I go then I would surely I would dance with a total stranger And hold them in my arms Hell, there could be no danger if I open up 'Cause when the cryin' starts so If I chant for happiness Maybe that will make me feel better? I can't change my ideals, I can't lose my desire Oh, if I chant for happiness Maybe that will make me feel better? I'd be your newborn friend for the world Well I wash my face in dirty water for life I have no order 'Cause I know that feeling when you've tried so hard To make your way out, nothing mends So you search for the breed of the problems there lying Deep down in the soul and if, they never end There's a whole bunch of reasons, tryin' to get out But they can't make it out of the door Oh, I know the reason I'm not enough There's nothing more but If I chant for happiness Maybe that will make me feel better I can't changes my ideals, I can't put out the fire Oh, if I chant for happiness Maybe that will bring us together, for the better I can't changes my ideals, I can't lose my desire I'm just a newborn friend for the world Just a newborn friend for the world I'll be your newborn friend and I'll Sing loud, sing loud, sing loud, my friend But I'll sing louder sing louder sing loud my friend To my friend my friend Sing love, sing loud, sing a little louder of my friend Oh my friend
Back in 1994 we were living on the airforce base in Vegas. My dad was in the military. I was aleast 13 or 14. Im now discovered this song in my later years. I only remember Seal's big hits growing up. He has lots of amazing songs. I got to know his music more in my 30s, im 45 now. ❤
Found it necessary to hear this trac last night. The CD was in my vehicle. Thanks to this lovely UA-cam, I just got online and satisfied my craving. I can't believe there is actually one dislike from someone in regards to this performance. Who in God's name could you find ANYTHING but enlightenment from it. Great tune!!!
I love Seal he is the best Singer of All time he has a beautiful Voice and His music is Amazing.Newborn Friend is one of My Fravorite Songs of Seal.God Bless him
One of my two favorites, the other is Future Love Paradise. Watch that official video and hear it all. It's celestial, sheer soul and...seriously...a teleporting, galactic experience as though you're scaling a planet in another orbit.
Had the extreme pleasure of seeing Seal perform at the House of Blues in New Orleans. He was intensely electric💥one man one guitar had more power than most bands can ever hope for😀😚😁✌
Seal's songs always have something interesting to say! There are no futile or commercial lyrics! I've been an unconditional fan since the first time I heard it.
@kevintheshedend1976 I agree completely. Just goes to show that even the most brilliant artists don't receive near the recognition they deserve. There are countless Seal songs I've listened to that I think could easily break the top 10 or top 5 of their time. It's just a shame. A damned shame.
seal has to be the most amazing song writer i have ever heard! thank you my friend! for your wonderful gift fo song and your incredible way of saying things in such a way that has touched so many people including myself. may we all chant for happiness and may it make us all feel better and make us ALL new born friends to the world! god bless you seal! you are an amazing man among men!
The man is Smooth as Silk.. love that 12-string GUITAR I remember his first hit crazy my brother's hated him now they love him , they were kings and queens followed by princes and princesses great lyrics
@acechadwick No it isn't, it's Susanah Melvion, a highly revered singer song writter who co-wrote this ludicrously underated tune with Seal. They compliment each other beautifully, don't you think? Hard to believe that this didn't even make the top 40 in the UK and even more disheartening is that it didn't even make the US Billboard's top 100
Awesome song! The Silver Mix is one of my favourite mixes of Newborn Friend; it has a very warm sound. Also, Trevor lookin' like Jim Cornette at 2:29 🤣
For me, one of the most singer in the world. I remeber when I was 18 years old. Now, does anybody know that blond woman who appears with him in this vídeo?
My Best Male human Vocalist of all times...! Please do not mention Michael Jackson for he is an Alien from Krypton...! Seal got my vote always as the best and KISS FROM A ROSE, PRAYER FOR THE DYING, PEOPLE ASKING WHY, LOVE DIVINE and this ageless NEW BORN FRIEND; are the songs I used in the early 90s to learn how to sing Ballade soulfully... Hopefully my first Album will be ready in December 2020! I am D'Zinger. Viva viva Seal(The Ballade Legend)...!!!
@kevintheshedend1976 Gosh kev I am stunned. I could swear it's Paula. Only because I have read everything about her and I just can't believe that is not her. Even her mannerisms are the same. But you obviously know and of course it makes more sense that it is the co writer of the song. Amazing, and yes totally underated.
Weird song, but i like it. Seal's first album was the best but his second one has some thought provoking songs. This song is the best one on his second album i reckon.

He has one of the most angelic voices I've ever heard.
Him and George Michael.

👍🏿
Absolutely!
me too! after Crazy, somebody said he would fail, but hey, now 30 years on, who's right?
This really takes me back to the 90's.. Seal is just incredible.
It's been 20 years since Seal put this song out and still brings a smile to my face.
same in 2021

@@xoxxobob61 it's quite a grabber, isn't it! Wonder how many did like we did. bunches, I'd wager.
His voice is like syrup and honey and whiskey, and effortless. He clearly poured everything into his first two albums, and every note makes me shiver.
This album came out the year I was born. My father had this cd, and played when I slept. I remember in my dreams, this song lifted my tied spirit and made the dreams better. This song still lifts my spirit with joy.
I Actually Share A Birthday With 'Seal
Susannah Melvoin! Prince's muse of so many incredible songs. Her sister Wendy also had contributions on this album!
Thanks for gal backing singer identity,!! I loved Wendy &Lisa. /Prince era. Susannah is Wendys sister. Yes?
She looks positively darling & radiant❤❤🎉🎉
There’s Sade.
There’s Seal.
Still the most beautiful male voice I've ever heard.
totally :)
I wash my faith in dirty water
'Cause it gives my mind a little order
And I play that game, just like I should do
But my whole world, slips away
I live my life, I live it slowly
And I take my time, I'm in no hurry, yeah .......... I'm livin'
And when I go then I would surely
I would dance with a total stranger
And hold them in my arms
Hell, there could be no danger if I open up
'Cause when the cryin' starts so
If I chant for happiness
Maybe that will make me feel better?
I can't change my ideals, I can't lose my desire
Oh, if I chant for happiness
Maybe that will make me feel better?
I'd be your newborn friend for the world
Well I wash my face in dirty water for life I have no order
'Cause I know that feeling when you've tried so hard
To make your way out, nothing mends
So you search for the breed of the problems there lying
Deep down in the soul and if, they never end
There's a whole bunch of reasons, tryin' to get out
But they can't make it out of the door
Oh, I know the reason I'm not enough
There's nothing more but
If I chant for happiness
Maybe that will make me feel better
I can't changes my ideals, I can't put out the fire
Oh, if I chant for happiness
Maybe that will bring us together, for the better
I can't changes my ideals, I can't lose my desire
I'm just a newborn friend for the world
Just a newborn friend for the world
I'll be your newborn friend and I'll
Sing loud, sing loud, sing loud, my friend
But I'll sing louder sing louder sing loud my friend
To my friend my friend
Sing love, sing loud, sing a little louder of my friend
Oh my friend
Yeah we already know by now that he's a lyrical genius. H aha
Back in 1994 we were living on the airforce base in Vegas. My dad was in the military. I was aleast 13 or 14.
Im now discovered this song in my later years.

He has lots of amazing songs.
I got to know his music more in my 30s, im 45 now. ❤
Oh dear Lord. Thanks for Seal's music.
Seal was very young in this video. Love this song so much. Love the beginning to, how they was harmonizing the chorus together.
My all time favorite song by seal. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
this is the best song and the best performance Seal I'll sing love, sing loud, sing a little louder of my friend.
Crazy is his best ever and most would agree with me.
"music" these just isn't the same as it was once
good old days
another Great Seal song
Kids today just don't appreciate. Just listen to duet with Seal and Donna Summer. Wow. I LOVE this album!
I was 11 when I fell for Seal's music, and that was in 2009, so I don't think you should make such sweep statements ;-)
Seal's songs all bear listening again and again - there's always something new to find.
My all time favorite Seal album. Once I bought the CD, I couldn't stop listening to it.
Seal is an amzing artist that delivers fabulous music. Thanks Seal
I will never stop watching or listening to this... RIP this angel.. ty Seal for keeping video
One of the most polished performers to ever grace the stage. He makes my skin tingle when I hear his voice..................
My favoirte Seal Song...
I love this song. Seal is awesome!
2:31-3:04 I get chills!
and 3.55..sing loud my friends..wow

I remember seeing Seal perform during this time and he was sensational.
Just saw him and he is still sensational!
beautiful song
walter c. charles campbell lll Lovin' Bearwolf and meaningful
hi! there's no uround the world another one singer like seal. the best of the best
I know the reason I'm not in love there's nothing left. Seal truly has insight into the human condition.
+Laura Schmidt Oh "I know the reason I'm not enough,
There's nothing more" but what you said is good too :)
This is awesome. Hollywood. Geshem Israel Geshem Israel elehenu Adonai Hashem Hashem. Merry Christmas. I was born March 11th in Bethlehem
I just love it. So touching. Seal is such a gentleman. He is just the best. God bless him.
One of the greats.....he should be talked about more often.
Peter Freeman playing bass on this track. Rest In Peace ... 💔

SEAL you are a superman of art and music...
One of my Seal faves, a true COSMIC sound!!!

Yes I still do big sis😊😇

Perfect song on a perfect album.
THANK YOU.
My other fav Seal song. The house remix is a banger

super
I like this version better than the album one. ✌🏼
Béâútiful song...
I haven't seen Seal in jeans and a t-shirt in a long time, lol. He is an amazing performance with an amazing voice and talent.
I thought that was Trevor Horn popping up in this video ,man’s got the midas touch
Awesome song! The Silver Mix is one of my favourite mixes of Newborn Friend; it has a very warm sound. Also, Trevor lookin' like Jim Cornette at 2:29 🤣
que grande seal canta maravilloso saludos a todos desde chile
PERFECTION. BE HAPPY YOU ALL.

Absolutely beautiful!💯👊💕
Wonderful 🙋🏻♂️

There's a timeless quality to his music. This still sounds fresh to me all these years later. Only the baggy jeans make this video seem dated.

This is such a cute video :-) it makes me smile!
