I don't know if it's humanly possible to sing better than this. Just unbelievable. Even his backup singers gave him stank-face at one point. Mad respect for Allen Stone. I've been a big fan for 4 years now and I'm always blown away by his talent when I come across a new performance like this one. Not sure why he's not THE benchmark for artistry and vocal mastery. But for some reason the masses want to hear auto-tune-quality singers, daily. It's mind-boggling. Thanks for everything you do, Allen.
After my 50th listen to this song I've decided he's this generations Michael McDonald or Michael Bolton. That soul is undeniable. He's got a fan for life!
He got screwed over by a manager and record company. That’s why he handles all his own stuff. Like the other comments he doesn’t want to have to sell out to the machine.
All he's doing with these live videos of the songs from Building Balance is making me love the songs more. I would download every version if it was available.
Allen... You are truly my inspiration. Everyday since I heard you for the first time! My dream is to sing with you! Live on stage or in the studio!!! Maybe my prayers will be heard one day🙏🏽
Lyrics I've got a brown-eyed lover On the other side of town I don't wanna keep her waiting (I don't wanna keep her waiting, waiting) She's got me upside tongue-tied Twisted all around I don't wanna keep her waiting (I don't wanna keep her waiting, waiting) Well, I don't know I can't tell Will this last Or just come and go? It came so fast And my feet feel cold But my mind is for sure And my heart remains Oh, she's got everything you want Wardrobe bought at the thrift shop And all my friends adore her She reminds me of my mother She wonders how my day went And don't care about my paychecks Well, I don't wanna keep my baby waiting I've got a brown-eyed lover On the other side of town I don't wanna keep her waiting (I don't wanna keep her waiting, waiting) She's got me upside tongue-tied Twisted all around I don't wanna keep her waiting (I don't wanna keep her waiting, waiting) Oh, let me think What if she finds a man Who's got so much more time For her than me on his hands? That don't make sense Why would she wait so long Just to run away? Oh, she's got everything you want Let's me pick the restaurants And all my friends adore her And I can still afford her She wishes I'd stop worrying About where my next paycheck is Well, I don't wanna keep my baby waiting I've got a brown-eyed lover On the other side of town I don't wanna keep her waiting (I don't wanna keep her waiting, waiting) She's got me upside tongue-tied Twisted all around I don't wanna keep her waiting (I don't wanna keep her waiting, waiting) I've got a brown-eyed lover On the other side of town I don't wanna keep her waiting, ye (I don't wanna keep her waiting, waiting) She's got me upside tongue-tied Twisted all around I don't wanna keep her waiting I don't wanna keep her waiting (I don't wanna keep her waiting, waiting) I don't wanna keep her waiting (I don't wanna keep her waiting, waiting) I don't wanna keep her waiting (I don't wanna keep her waiting, waiting) I don't wanna keep her waiting
His tonal tracking and control of pitch is exquisite. I don't even think Allan knows how good he is. I hope he never stops being inspired and keeps channeling that talent from where ever he gets it from.
This is my favorite version of this song! The outstanding background vocalists, the acoustic & intimate setting, I just love it all 💙 What a Soulful Perfection!
You are so fucking amazing! I got to see you with Train and Goo Goo Dolls in PA this summer, I wish your set was longer!! Definitely one of my favorites ever, love you and your voice!!!
I love that I have found your music and I love that you are not as well known as you deserve to be (selfishly) because I worry if those big companies get a hold of your amazing talent they would destroy it. So sorry but I would hate to lose your amazing talent to mainstream music. You are such a breath of fresh air! Love your music!!!
