@Robinbanks420-f7u obviously he saying this kid has an old soul. Some people believe souls or ones energy never dies and either gets reincarnated or moves around in like different planes/ dimensions etcetera.
I’ve listened to this about 20 times today. Just feels right. He might be 15 but his voice is 46 and works on a tow boat on the Mississippi River. He went to a birthday party yesterday but His voice went to a beer joint and got arrested in a bar fight. West Virginia keep sending that music on down to Tennessee. Outstanding!!!
I'm old enough to be this kids grandpa, and the feeling he puts into this song brings a tear to my eye. He's the real deal folks, he's going to be huge one day soon.
When I leave here baby, you're left with whatever's left.... My goodness I cry like a little child. Hits home so hard. Seems he wrote this for me and the hand I was dealt, almost. This young man couldn't have felt this much pain this early on in life could he? Or is his gift from another time?
Hints of a young Colter Wall in that deep resonant vocal expression.. so unique. Every time I think the current industry is doomed, a new talented young man like this show up in my feed. Fantastic!
As a 15 Y/o guitar player from WV, this is one of my favorites by him. Jake is one of the best guys on here and in folk country music. i’ve seen with his voice, guitar, AND his lyrics. He’s a gift from God and can’t wait to see this wild bright future he has
Better yet, don't sign that damn contract! The internet has killed radio and television, so those labels have nothing to offer you that you can't get for yourself, but you absolutely have something they want, and they'll gladly take a cut of what's yours for nothing if they can, they'll even end up owning the stuff you made if you're not careful.
He's doing a character, my brother in Christ. Same as Colter Wall. I find this kid's technique irritating, because it sounds like throat cancer, but it's cool that he's fooling people into thinking that's actually his normal voice.
@@DrFrogglePhD That very "Christian of you" , can you not be happy for a young man , making people with music , He not out doing Drive by shootings , what do you want him to do ?
@@DrFrogglePhDalways going to be someone like you bringing people down to sound intelligent or just look for negative attention. Strong men bring others up, cowards bring other men down, hmmmm? 😊
Lyrics: Well I made a phone call to my momma last night In a pay phone in the middle of pilfer street, She didn’t have much to say, Never does anyway so I Hung up the phone, Got back moving my feet I feel so hard on the inside, My soul is empty as a drum Well I used to wander when I was a child Back when I got drunk and wild Why do I feel so drunk? Everything’s gonna be alright Go home with all your lies You bleed darkness baby, Be right here just wrapped up in the night. Try to stop the frostbite Try to stop the frostbite Take another puff of my cigarette, I threw it down half finished cus I thought the nicotine rush just made me sick Watch the ashes glow until it all faded out Stepped on a greyhound bus Let it take me wherever I’m bound We’re destroyed and need my breath And you scared me to death When I leave now baby you’re left with whatever’s left Everything’s gonna be alright Go home with all your lies You bleed darkness baby Just wrapped up here in the night Try to stop the frostbite Try to stop the frostbite.
I am so serious when I say that this is one of the best songs I have ever heard in my life. This song moved me, brought me to tears, and cleaned my soul. I can feel his emotions in my soul!! This guy is so incredibly talented. His voice!!! That is the voice of a international rock star who has been in the industry for 40 years, I was so amazed when I heard it come out of him!!!! I’m just so moved by this song, please keep making your art. Someday the world will know your name. I’ll be at your first stadium concert!!❤
Generational talent. Absolute real deal. At 15 his heart is on his sleeve and I believe he’s lived every word of emotion he belts out. I can’t stop going back to this. My prayer is he is protected as he now navigates through this soon to be explosion of exposure. Keep grounded as you grow, kid. You’ve an amazing talent.
This is what I feel like Modern Country should be. I’m not trying to draw comparisons here, this guy is clearly in his own lane. But much like Zach Bryan or Tyler Childers, you sing about the real, the raw. Country shouldn’t hide behind filters for the media or for the public. Real heart break. Real addiction. Real thoughts that creep into your head at night. And I’m here for it, 100%.
I haven't had my mind blown with the surprise of legendary vocals for a min but 20 seconds in I had tears in my eyes. I'm sharing and following on all platforms. AMERICA 🇺🇸 HAS A STAR HERE .
people poke fun at us west virginians but we seem to produce the strongest and very talented people around.. God i love my state and the people who are from here
I’m a huge fan of music. I know it well. This is one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard. I feel like it was written for me. I am in tears. God bless you young man
Always listening for that song that hits you in a place different than most music. This has exactly that. Raw and real, powerful and beautiful, and exactly what real music is supposed to be. Cannot wait to see what amazing music he makes in the future.
Holy shit. Just saw Justin Hawkins did a video on you. Figured I'd check your talent first before I hear him talk about you. HOLY SHIT. You're going places, kid, for sure! Hope you blow up and get the recognition you deserve.
+1 sent here by the one who rides again. Thanks Justin! Man, Jake... you're a legend in the making dude. Please please don't mess it up. We need you -- and so does music.
This is just extraordinary. The voice. The guitar playing. The song writing. The screen presence. The believability. And 15 years old? Protect this child. He's a star.
Dear Lord!!! My boyfriend just played this song for me. I got into an argument with him...me: that's not a 15 year old boy! That's a guy that's been drinking straight whiskey and smoking cigarettes for 30 years! Not to mention the many heartaches the guy has been through! My boyfriend says shut and look. I shut up and looked and listened and dang!! This young man has soul! Jake I'm an instant fan! Don't hide this talent! God bless you and your gift!
I needed this song from you. I first listened because you resemble my own son, remarkably shocking resemblance. Then you began with your voice... chills. My baby is grown up and I miss him so very much and now that I have heard this... you gave me a sense of peace. He does have his mom's eyes... my baby . Thanks from the core of my soul.
Ever had music touch your soul? So relatable it brings you to tears? Music can be deadly and it can bring life. "When i leave, youll be left with whatever's left"... That sht hurt ... Amazing song, its one for the books..
I listen to this over and over, it hits me in a way that hurts but soothes. Being given up as a child, this kid less than half my age sang everything I felt for most of my life in 4 minutes. This song, his voice and his emotion performing it is impeccable. I truly hope he ends up mainstream. He will go far.
Im sure you are right but this song is incredible and it needs to be heard. This kid has a very unique voice he controls perfectly. As a singer myself, his kind of talent is not learned, it is in his genes.@RemnantDiscipleLazzaro-Rev1217
Unbelievable talent and feeling with this guy. Man! I'm floored every time I listen to this and I'm shocked there isn't more views on this. I'm telling all of my friends about him!
Jake, I've got to tell you that you go straight into the top 5 of my favorite artists of all time, and that's on only the third listening! You stand alongside musical legends the likes of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. You walk among giants! You've got it all, the voice, the poetry, the acoustic guitar, and the passion..... I feel every word of your beautiful song, and it touches my soul. Just Brilliant! You are Ace, my friend. I Can't wait to tune into your next one. Stupendous! Keep 'em coming. ❤️
I have had this masterpiece on repeat since yesterday when I overheard my mom playing it, and it was at 88K views. Jake's voice is strikingly powerful and also comforting. It's exactly what I needed. There is so much depth and soul in this song; the lyrics, quitar and voice. It hit me hard. Right to my core. Clearly I'm not the only one, as it has climbed to 96K views in 24 hours, and still rapidly going. What gorgeous talent. Jake, your record deal is definitely coming real soon! Keep on going! Many of us already want to hear you live in concert and buy your merch! #jakekohn 💜🎶👏🏼
Please don’t act like a 15 year old can’t have a broken heart. One of the worst pain I ever felt was when I was 15. I’m 39 now and still hurt from losing her. I was grown man at 15 years old. I’d been though a lot early in life and grew up fast. As a musician that’s been playing music since I was 11 years old. I don’t see him as unique for 15. I just see him as unique. But from my life experience, he definitely old enough to have pain and heart break in his voice.
Do yourselves a favor and close your eyes whilst listen to that in an empty room with only a single candle lit. Its an expierience u never had before. This song is alien.
Well fellas the bar has been set for the next group com8ng through and looks like real life talent and struggle is back. This kid... sorry young MAN is going to be a shining light for the future. He is absolutely unbelievably good
Bless you young man, you're the TRUTH! Helping me with loved 1's dying, and other things in my Shit life at the moment... As a musician i have No words. Please keep it up, i believe the world needs you. Much Love and success to you. 🎼🎶🎵🎶
He's got grit, gravel, and soul in that voice. This song is soulful, truthful, and haunting. Definitely stirred my emotions. The way REAL music should be. Amazing music, Jake Kohn!
Thank you for this!! Sometimes... rare specimens walk this earth... and through physical performance they bare their soul - helping us who witness, with the trajectory of linking lost parts of our own soul to its core once again. You just know when the tears start leaking and you can't explain exactly how this artist touched you so deeply - but they did. Thank you for helping me and my scattered pieces come together!! Thank you for moving me so 🎶🙏🍃
This is like new old music. I've heard so much music that sounds the same but this is the kind of different I was looking for, and didn't even realize I was looking for till I found it. I'm relieved there's still great music to discover.
