I saw him live as a blessing, front row in Cleveland and this man doesn’t sing, he guts himself alive on stage. RIP to a legend.

🇵🇹
Conheci esse cantor pelo UA-cam....
Não sabia que ele morreu
😥😥😥
Saudações do Brasil,!
It's why I refuse to sing. I'd rip my still beating heart out to show you the pain it feels and, does to itself then, I'd probably off myself. Just the power I feel from him singing hits, so, fucking, hard. The gutteral scream gets me every time. It sums up how I feel when I hear these songs and feel my own pain resurface.
Discovered him a few days ago. Didn’t know he was gone. Man the way he sings 😢
For over a decade I didn’t speak with my father because I couldn’t understand why he was the way he was. I carried around that anger and resentment just as I carry his name, and it did nothing but make me feel sad and alone. My father and I have since reconnected and it’s nice to know that he feels the light of my love as an elderly man.
Rest in peace Charles and thank you, brother.
My autistic 6 yrs old son still doesn’t speak but he very clearly sings the chorus of this song perfectly enunciating each syllable. This is the only song he sings along with. This song allowed me to hear my son say words for the first time. He doesn’t call me “dad.” He doesn’t call my wife “mama.” We still haven’t heard the words “I love you mom and dad.” But hearing him sing along to this song gives me hope that he will start speaking soon. I will forever remember my son’s first words, “I’m going through changes!”
Thanks for sharing.
@@mountainguyed67 update a year later. He is now speaking more and will repeat the words "I love you." So my wife and I finally heard him tell us that he loves us.❤
@@11cylynt11 Awesome progress!
My sweet son is now 18 years old and has autism. It's been a hard road. I know exactly where you're coming from. Just remember he has a disability which makes even the simplest of speech very difficult for him. I won't BS you. It's hard on the heart not to be able to hear your son say dad or I love you. I know.
But I'll say this ..If he could say I love you mom and dad 100 times in a row he most def would. But he just cant. Drew's 18 now and he has told me this in so many words. So Ive come to peace with it. He is so much more to me than words will ever say. He is a gift. He has taught me so many things about myself. I am greatful. I know he and your son can't talk much ..but Cherish his soul.
And Stay strong my brother. For real. For him. And remember there are so many of us parents going thru this with you. You're not alone.
Peace
@jayybirdberg6545 Thank you for sharing your journey. Yes it is sad at times not being able to have a conversation with my son. But we bond in different ways. We snuggle. We play games, we laugh together.
May you be blessed.❤️✌🏾
This man is 100% soul
PURE SOUL
"Ladies and gentlemans, brothers and sisters, may ever who you are, if you have a loss one or ever loss, if you have mama or a papa and your had your arguments and you're went away and never said i'am sorry.
brothers and sisters, it's later then we think you better go back to your mama and hug her and let her know "mama i love you",and pap, he did the best he can for you.
I never knew my father, my mom was my mama and my father but if you gotta a father out there that loves you, Oh! you've got the greatest in your heart.
Ladies and gentlemans, let sorrows be gone, let love stand on chance"
words of truth ... RIP
Nacer Mediouni o
wheeeeew hit me, hard brother, when he said that.
this speech brought me to tears... damn! i love this man!
Had no idea this was a Black Sabbath song, it sounds as it poured directly from his heart. It made me think with tenderness and nostalgia of my mama. Miss you, mom
I cannot express how hard it is to sing when you wanna breakdown. This is by far the most emotional performance ive truly ever witnessed. Its like watching him be reborn. God bless you and rest in peace Charles.
The lump in your throat really gets you. Music is so incredible at making you feel things.
I must admit this is 100 times better than the original... and I'm a huge Sabbath fan
I've never dig the Sabbath original version. Randomly I've discovered Charles Bradley on youtube and damn, he lifted the song to a whole different level.
Indeed.
Music it's not competition.
I must admit that I like and appreciate the effort and passion of this cover, but still prefer the original.
Black Sabbath wrote a fire R&B tune and didn't even realize it
This is one of those performances that you come back to over and over throughout your life. It makes me start to tear up as soon as he starts. Love this man.
Hope is reunited with his mom now..
Holy fuck this is amazing
same for me ^^ amazing stuff, have a good life my friend.
Rest in Power Charles :(
IDA SOFAR he die?
Aye what happened to him why is he sad is every song it's making sad I'm worries me
Oh thats tuff
lowkeyQUICK stomach cancer. He fought it hard. RIP.
RIP to a real one. He spread so much love in the face of pain and hatred.
This is one of most pure, heartfelt performances I've ever seen.
This man was a rarity mankind didn't deserve.
I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I've lost the best friend
That I ever had
She was my woman
I loved her so
But it's too late now
I've let her go
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
We shared the eve's
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way
But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was crying
Love went astray
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
It took so long
To realize
That I can still hear
Her last goodbyes
Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
I am fucking balling with tears, I love Charles Bradley.
I'm not crying, you're crying!
Die hard metal fan here, big fan of Oz & Sabbath, and much in the same way Cash turned "Hurt" into a better song, Charles made this song into what "should have been". Knowing that he did this song because of the loss of his mother, and that he originally didn't want to do it, beings it to a whole new level.
❤️ RIP Mr. Bradley ❤️
My wife and I are Canadian and eloped at San Francisco City Hall for our wedding. We had tickets to see Charles at the Great American Music Hall that night. We had the world's best wedding singer... After the show, he worked his way through the audience. Some of our fellow concert goers knew we had eloped and made sure Charles met us. We both got the best bear hugs of our lives. Still married... ❤
I still have my mother glory to god, but man this made me tear up and made me tell my mom I love her
I miss you, dad. I love you so much.
The world is going to miss this man greatly.
He left the life to get into the History... sorry about my English, but when the music is good the language is just a detail. I already miss you . Condolences from Brazil.
It's funny that you apologise for your English. A fluent native speaker would have said something like "He left life, and entered History". But i think "He left the life to get into the History" is really beautiful and poetic. Also your English is really not that bad. RIP Charles
Edevaldo Gonçalves I understand perfectly and agree wholeheartedly
'When the music is good the language is just a detail' and you apologised for you English. 😶
Monbroe music is a universal language. Sometimes more is conveyed in the sounds one makes than the words one speaks.
This song is an exception as both the words and music convey an immense amount of emotion and wisdom.
I cried like a kid when he started speaking about forgiveness 😢 what a legend
That's not sweat, it's his soul crying. RIP CB.
I wish I could go back to 2005 when I met my ex wife, I’d do things so differently. Now I have to live with the pain forever.
Charles Bradley is so underrated! He gives everything he's got, every performance!
Bass line is so psychedelic , this is the best version of the song
the bass line is basically the original version, except near the end of the chorus, i think it would've been better if they kept that part like the original but i still love both versions equally
Bradley offers a real peace sensation for us, singing softly this sound.
Beautiful song, his whole body was crying.
A masterclass on singing with real emotion. Nothing spared. RIP Mr. Bradley. I hope you can now hug your mother again.
I haven't cried like that in a long fucking time. Rest in piece Charles, that cover is not only amazing, but you made it your own.
I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I lost the best friend

We found a way
But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
It took so long
To realize
That I can still hear
Her last goodbyes
Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
Thank you, Charles Bradley ❤
Ese unos meses perdí a mi mamá, era de las personas más guerreras, era mi mejor amiga. Esta canción me ayudó a salir de mi depresión. Gracias Charles Bradley donde quiera que estés. I love you
Recibe un fuerte abrazo, de mi parte, amigo. Tu madre siempre te vigila.
Misma situación, mismo sentir. Un abrazo
Rest in peace, Charles. Let's take a moment and realize the pure spirit that this man had. In today's day and age, it was very, very rare.
so much emotion. This is what art is about: soul.
It just doesnt get any better. The first line, it just grabs you and you know what youre in for - but you still cant prepare.
Stay gold.
Black sabbath know how to write a good tune hey
It's been a long time since a song/performance drained so many tears out of my eyes. Beautiful!
same man this was incredible! this is what music is supposed to do, make you feel!!!
What a beautiful song to cry
I feel like I lost one of the best friends I had when listening to the song :(. Fighting this terrible decease may have been really exhausting, so rest in peace mister Charles, hope he sees his mom cause I know how it's hard to not be able to talk to someone we love so much, hope my grandpa meets him now cause I know they would get along. I miss you still, everyday, grandpa.
Never saw no one singing with so much soul. Loved it..

Eso es sentir la música en todo su esplendor en el alma, dejar que fluya por tus venas y sentirte pleno, descansa en paz hermano Bradley, dejaste un gran legado para aquellos buenos conocedores de la música.
Rest In Paradise Mr Charles Bradley 🙏🏼😔 It was an honor to see you Live . LA loves you.
I wish I knew him before he passed away ! I miss out but now he's always on my mind
im crying sooooooooo much 😥😢😭😰😰😢😥😩😮😪
Damn, RIP Charles, this song absolutely moved me
This is the best song ever, I've listened to it over and over again! It speaks to my inner soul. I'm going to carry this on my soul next year. It reminds me of baby cuddles
Listen to the black sabbath version too. I'm torn between the two. They're both amazing.
Judith lovely comment xx
@@BrianS756 Charles had 10000000x the soul that Ozzy did in his voice. HUGE sabbath fan. Diehard even. But this is his song now. Reminds me of Johnny Cash's - Hurt, in that aspect. 9IN, did great. But Cash.. With the pain and experience, took it away. They said it themselves.
I listened to this song on repeat as we were driving to bury my father a few years ago. Beyond soulful. He was the truth. We lost a truly great soul. He suffered so much. Rest easy, my man.🙏🏾🙏🏾
As a long time Black Sabbath fan I’ll say this version exceeds the original in every way. Well done 👏👏
Damn this shit always get me ! I dedicate this song to my dad !
Its sad how we dont realize the importance of our mothers till they are gone. This life will always keep you away from her, and before you know it she's gone, and you're left with the guilt. Btw my mom is still alive today, but I just keep thinking about this moment, and its like there's always this thing , or this job, or this person that keeps from actually picking up the fucking phone, and calling her. Its just so fucking hard sometimes.
Not gonna lie, when he says “it hurts so bad” I really feel it man. RIP to a great man
Holy shit that was wonderful. I got a lump in my throat. Raw emotion of love.
RIP Charles & his Mama (who was of course his papa too).
I don’t think I’ve seen many performances like this... he’s all sweat at the end, like he’s given everything he had. Drained.
Can’t believe the power of his voice and the love in his sole… It all shines through - 68 years young when he left this world is far too young for such a powerful character to leave this world and far too early ! RIP
It is the first time I hear his songs and he is amazing. RIP.
This is why you should treat good music like an open door in your life. You never know when it will suddenly slam shut and the opportunity lost forever.
I had seen another live version before, and I didn't think I could like any other version even better.
Yes, Thank you Big Mouth for putting such an amazing and talented artist on my radar to follow and learn from.
Thank you to Charles, The Band and KEXP!
Rest In Paradise Charles Bradley
he's not sweating his whole body is crying R.I.P charles
I rarely cry listening to a song, this time I just did it.
No one will ever do what mister Charles did... He gave everything that he got in every single performance.
So much love, so much soul.
Rest in peace.
Miss you mom!
Life really is so cruel... I hope you've found your peace Charles. Thanks for the music Sir!
Not easy to hold back tears......
RIP to the Screaming Eagle of Soul, and my heart.
We love you.
Music, along with math and science, is one of the universal languages.
Sometimes more is conveyed in the sounds one makes than the words one speaks.
This song is an exception as both the words and music convey an immense amount of wisdom and emotion - painful but with a hope for better.
Bri Fitz Excellent comment couldn’t have said it better. No matter where you live, what you look like, or what language you speak, we are all just human beings. We all cry tears and we all bleed red.
Thank you Charles Bradley. Rest easy. You have touched many souls with your talent and grace. Your voice will live on. We love you!
He took this song and made it his own. Nailed it! We will miss you Charles...RIP
RIP to an extraordinary musician. Charles will be missed.
Hope he's having a blast with his mama in heaven, may both of them rest in love 🖤
Am just speechless! RIP Charles
this song always destroys my heart,I miss her so...
I almost cried! This video should be in black & white like the old days!!!
Valeu, meu irmão! Obrigado por tudo. R.I.P.
Duílio Gomes ele morreu?💔
Ele faleceu, no ano passado.
F
I said god dam made have goose bumps and I'm glad I have my mama and papa thank you sir for reminding us truly blessed
Charles Bradley: i love you brother! What a song...
Balling in tears man
Rest In Peace Charles’s Bradley
Thank you Charles for being there under so many skies, you will always be remembered. RIP beautiful soul.
that guy is just amazing
I love both Sabbah and Charles Bradley, so this is amazing.
Rest in Peace and Love Mr Charles Bradley. Your being has been blessings to me and countless others.
RIP Screaming Eagle of Soul.
RIP the Great Charles Bradley, we lost a great one today, a truly great person- heart and soul for miles!!!!
Rest In power Charles Bradly
It's hard to hear this song but I love it with all my soul. Thank you Charles for the being in our life.
Did I just cry. Yes. Yes I did.❤️
Im doing a tribute page for this man as a part of my certifications for web development. I was in the process of pulling the code to attach this performance to the page and my god, I had to stop for a minute and hear this performance through. Had me pulling tears at the end and texting my loved ones. Bless this man and the music he gave us!
Gone, but the songs live on. RIP Charles.
I never heard this song before in my life...... One of the Best ones it really got all my attention from the start to finish. Great Song
I don’t know wether to cry or smile of happiness. I just discovered this beautiful man’s’ music. I’m speechless and I rarely say that. Wow! My respect to him and his music. Rest In Peace, Mr. Charles. ❤️
This is Otis Redding-calibre soul singing. Every last ounce of his soul is emptied out onstage. The pain, the loss-- it's all there in his performance, raw & unfiltered. One of the most moving singers I've heard in years... 🦃😬🦃😬🦃😬
Big Mouth led me to this legend.
This man’s voice it’s so powerful!
R.I.P. Charles.. You were a true talent. Taken way too young from us.
Wow...this is fucking strong. Listen and feel her voice, her crying, is a knock that makes you vibrate.
heart wrenching.
RIP Thanks for da g8 vibes, great moments, great voice!
RIP your music had helped me in so many ways. Wish I saw you live my friend. Keep singing up there
I’m sitting here crying. I haven’t gone through what some of you in the comments have gone through. My parents, both of them, are sitting metres away from me. I tire of them, maybe I am to blame.. but I know it wasn’t my fault. Friends I need the power to just go upto them. I haven’t spoken or even looked into my fathers eyes in the last three weeks. It’s making our relationship strained. I’m destroyed by this song. Absolutely. I need the strength to go up to him and tel him I still care. Let love stand a chance.
this singer was fantastic, rest in peace
the sad world that we live in where people have to die before they are truly heard.... stay blessed everyone
Man the legend cries every time he sings this song, and then I cry
One of the greatest souls. Thank you for sharing, and supporting kexp. His music changes lives.
Damn man, they have the vocals cut so dry and Charles still rips it 1000%
What a force and inspiration.
