Let's hope he comes back, and if he doesn't, he'll still be the best artist we've ever heard. As soon as I heard his most famous hit, I fell into it and listened to it non-stop.

@@sugoitom Hi 👋🏽 My apologies. It is still a powerful song and video. Justin did a great job with his voice to get emotion into the mix. Well done and thank you for sharing.
Oh Lewis I hate you are going through this. You are a fine Man. You’re my man Lewis with your Beautiful voice that sings those Beautiful songs. Love you always Lewis ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a bunch of idiots. What about the lowland Scots who fought for the crown do they not deserve to be called flower of Scotland. Scottish nationalists, laughable
The moral of this tale would appear to be, don't send ill equipped irregular troops to do a suicidal banzai human wave charge against well disciplined forces in prepared positions , who have effective artillery and accurate firearms. Duh!
Yeah im Scottish 😂 l suppose as long as the song is good I was thinking that spelling but I got confused dam I put it on the album already with that spelling lol😂 I can’t change it a well can’t be helped thanks for the update 😊
Fantastic song Thomas! I truly love what you wrote in the comments of this video, it most definately hit home for me & I'm certain many others. RIP Scott
To Lewis... Never give up, I accepted you without thinking, everyone has shortcomings, but what you are experiencing right now is a blessing from God, fight because I really love you❤
I am not sure Lewis would want to sing this song for one reason. He is so much more than Tourette Syndrome; he is a brilliant song writer, the best singer I have ever heard in my life, and his heart and mind has experienced more in life (good and bad) than most anyone will. The song, to me, is a good one but unless you also have Tourettes, it is one only someone living with Tourette's can understand. I hope, if Lewis does hear this, he will consider it a misdirected love offering from you (as I think it is meant to be) and not think negatively about its writing.
It’s a beautiful song I believe i wrote about his life in my opinion it’s to bring awareness to Tourette’s he would be perfect to sing about it we will never know if Lewis would sing it as that would be is option I’ve written a song about obesity he could sing but I think this one is better nothing is misdirected I took the time to write it for him produce the song at my expense only Lewis would know if he wanted to sing it would be nice to get his opinion on it for a start would be nice some kind of feed back from Lewis I would appreciate it actually
@@sugoitom I understand wher e you are coming from, I really do. I like the song itself, it is a good song. But, in my experience as an RN who's worked, and in psych wards that have young people, someone who has never experienced themselves what they're writing about, can not know how it may affect the person living with it. I personally have not purchased a CD since the 1990s when the boomtown rats we're popular. But the first time I heard Louis then checked out what each of his songs sounded like 5 years, I fell in love with his talent and his voice and the fact that it was as if he had watched my life unfold. He is one of the most talented and insightful singer-songwriters I have ever come across all of my years, which are many. Half of them before he was even born. And it would kill me if the song hit him on one of his bad days, which I hope and pray he has very few now that he is successful and so loved by many. I just asked people to be mindful about how something so personal could affect him. The song on his second, The Pretender, I suppose I suspect is a personal that that he wrote about himself but that is him putting it out before anyone else could say such a thing about him. I just want it to remain that people genuinely love him and his music because he is such a unique talent, so that none of the jealous ones who have said horrible things on social media because they are jealous we'll never affect him negatively ever again. I know that you do not intend him to feel bad, I just want you to know that cruelty by others can lay dormant for decades. Please, just keep this in mind, Luv.
I do keep it in mind at the end of the day it is to bring awareness to the facts of Tourette’s not his it under the radar I wrote about cancer Alzheimer’s anorexia and so on it’s a fact it’s life if you listen to the lyrics it makes sense I’m site if Lewis had a problem with it he will contact me so your opinion is yours it’s not mine I believe i wrote good and true so it’s Lewis business not yours if he has a issue
@@sugoitom this is not my opinion, it is my training & experience as an RN, caring for patients in similar conditions. Your reaction to my explanation of why I am concerned... my professional degree explaining why... now leads me to think you may have Asperger's Syndrome, High IQ, but lacking certain social skills when discussing different ways of handling social situations. You felt like I was attacking you . . . When all I did was to speak about my experiences from patients words or actions in similar situations. When reading what somebody writes to you always remember that the emotion you put into the words come from you and not the person commenting. I told you that I did like your song, yet from this response it sounds as if you are either angry, or defensive when I merely wanted to share my nursing experience & how something may affect a person you have never met. I was not telling you what to do or not to do. I was merely telling you how something so personal to another person could affect them, if they are in a bad moment when they hear your song. There is no need or reason to be on the defensive. I am sorry if I ruffled your feathers, it was not my intention.
