I have had people say that there are other male singers with better voices and singing ability. I have diligently listened to each but every one pales in comparison to Groban. His range, delicacy, power, tonal quality and ability to transition from range to range is simply extraordinary. He adds so much emotion and depth to all that he performs that others lack. Well done Josh...
This is one video that I wouldn't mind my children watching. Josh's music is like a breath of fresh air of true art, decency, and self-respect in the music world. I shall always be your fan, please keep up the good work.
People don't realize how much their words can change a person's day. So many of us walk around with smiles on the surface when on the inside it is pain that we wish someone could see. I spent so many years of my life hiding behind smiles and clothes while no one could see the cuts all over my arms and the toll the anorexia was taking on my body. I recovered because of the man who is now my husband seeing through it all, and now at twenty eight I battle an illness that will probably take me away from my family way sooner than I would like, and I am blessed to have a few people in my life who see me and help me come out of hiding when things get tough.
wow!! Bless you! I never struggled with any eating disorders, however I have strugggled with cutting, too. I know it really is just that- a struggle. but together, we are strong and can say no more! I actually made several videos with my best friend GinnyJBskits. no pressure, but it might encourage you to see them!
I really adore your honesty. To be honest, although I never suffer from any kinds of eating disorder, I had lived with a crisis for a half years of my life, I was genuinely having no self confident. I kept cursing myself, torturing myself. Till' one day, someone told me that everyone had a hidden power, waiting to appear. I'm sooo glad that you've recovered. Be confident!!!! You're more beautiful that you think!!!!
wow!! thank you very much!! you are very strong! I think many people, including you and myself, are stronger than we know. thank you for sharing your story! keep being strong and be patient with yourself. whatever it is, it's a part of your past, and that won't help you in moving forward in your life. forgiving yourself is so important! God bless you!
I remember hearing this and instantly it was one of my favorite songs by Josh Groban. I was in my office one night playing music and my late wife was in the other room and I yelled to her when I die dont you keep your heart hidden away. She yelled back it is not me that needs to worry about that it's you, since you don't open your heart to very many people. She would pass away suddenly a few months later. In the last 5 years I can count the number of times on one hand I have listened to ANYTHING by John Groban. She was a huge Josh Groban fan and listened to him all the time so it still is hard for me. At one of the concerts we went to he actually grabbed her hand in the audience and she completely started crying tears of joy. I know he will never read this or hear the story but that simple gesture made her so happy.
Don't keeps words of kindness hidden away. These words were never more true than they are today. If kindness spread like this pandemic....the world would be a better place.
Simple. Powerful. Beautiful. About the desire to connect with another person's heart. Flawless. Side Note: You know its a fantastic song and artist when the youtube comments are all positive and respectful. Kudos Josh. Balance restored. If only all of youtube comment sections were like these.
This album is most personal amazing one yet.. Tells a story of how much Josh cares about helping others get out of their own way and out of their shell to sing to the world..With Find your light, Josh is a true caring soul.. May God continue to Illuminate his life and open more doors for his hearts desires, and may God lift up those stuck within their dreams.. Awesome words, love and heart felt lyrics.. Josh you're the best.. keep it going Babe!! God Bless You :) Peace & Love be with you always.
Absolutely! I have been battling with depression and anxiety for the last 15 years ( at least ) and I found his first concert on line and was hooked. He has helped me through some very tough times and he still brings tears to my eyes with his very meaningful lyrics and beautiful music. So yes, I guess I wouldn’t be writing this in 2024 if it didn’t. 😊 He voice and music have a way of really touching your heart and soul. ❤
I've just realized that I can't find a single Josh Groban song that I don't like. I honestly don't think it matters to me what the lyrics are, or what the story is behind the song. (Which is usually something that I am drawn to with music from most artists) But with Josh, it is simply his voice that draws me in. Don't get me wrong, each song's lyrics are amazing to me, but I'm just amazed that I really can't find any song that I don't care for!
Thank you God that you have these divine gifts, voice and soul full of divine light, Josh Groban and thank you sharing yours blessing existence with us!
Josh is an amazing singer! His unique brilliant voice can touche all hearts, i think. I heard lots of singers with good voices but i believe that Josh's voice is the best in the world!
My hero....is Jesus Christ. In Heaven...Josh's musical talent will be very "commonplace". Got Jesus Christ everyone? Time is short...can you feel Jesus coming soon?
stunning song..... i am going to dance with my god daughter to this song on my wedding day....... gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it.... WELL DONE..... saw you in providence rhode island ..... took my mom as her christmas gift........ she cried from begining to end..... hope you come around massachusetts or rhode island again soon......... and man you are a fabulous performer......
@TheZubie1, Thanks for your kind comments about me talking about Josh Groban. The good thing is i'm healthy now,but my comment was as or when i'm slipping of to see Jesus is to hear Josh singing to me as i slip away.I truly think Josh has the best male voice ever and it blows me away to listen to the range of his voice,his ultra smooth delivery and his ability to change to different languages in his songs.Like i said before i hope he's there in heaven to sing in God's choir . Jim Peterson
Just amazing. Totally amazing. Goose bumps, tears, heart stopping, mind blowing, heart beating, totally lost in this song. The best. And that girl is gorgeous. Thank u Josh
I'll be honest here. I'm a huge metal fan and I barely listen to anything but metal. Well, recently I've started to broaden my musical taste and I think that Josh Groban is a fantastic singer that I really can listen to.
where did this angelic man come from? oh please, I know God sent him down to nurture us back to our innate sanity! Josh, you are a fantastic singer........
Can i just say something? I believe these videos are posted for people to enjoy them. Therefore, if you don't enjoy them, go find something you do enjoy and listen to that rather than posting your negative feelings on here. I am here listening to this because I enjoy it. I also enjoy reading the comments and opinions of others who enjoy it. So, instead of posting your negativity, go find something else to listen to. That's all! :D Have a great day and happy listening!
Music is anything that has pitch and rhythm. This is music. This is not however, a piece. A piece is music without lyrics. This is a song, which is music with lyrics. I think...
I listened to this song like a billion times last week in the hospital when the surgeon said they wanted to send me to another state for my transplant evaluation which we thought we had years before. I'm only twenty seven with a two year old who needs me. Listening to Mr. Groban always helps me calm down when I'm getting bad news and calms me down when I'm running awful IV meds that make me feel very sad. It is nice to have great music to listen to with a true talent performing.
He looks so young here, I can't decide how I like him best...all mature and distinguished like he is now or that baby face. It's his heart that matters anyway isn't it?
I've been in total love with his music for years. My baby boy grew up listening to it and now loves it too. Keep on making the world a much more beautiful place with your voice and your message of love and hope.
This may have been a late reply, but when i saw your post, i was thinking... "You speak of Josh Gorban like his not a part of God's big family ! For goodness sakes, the man has it's own life, God give us this "free will" to live ! He perform songs that really helps us to be ourselves and to be more closer to God, that means his still a Good Person" ...
My Father, The Most High God of Israel, The Lord of Hosts and The King of Jacob, I love you always and need you forever. I'm yours, Your Menekel, your mine.
Mister Groban! Simple! No Words! The music, the Voice, the Soul...... Fantastic. One day, my dougther Carol, Bailarina, will dance, solo, on Stage with Mister Groban, singing! My real dream! One day.........
its rare for 14 year old like me to love josh groban especially when i am a rock lover and then suddenly josh came into my life and now he is never leaving my heart
If no one sees you, then nobody knows. And all these words You were meant to say Held in silence day after day Words of kindness that our poor hearts grave Please don't keep them hidden away.
I just sent this to a student I mentor in Japan This wonderful & gifted girl who has been through terrible challenges. Struck by a truck on her way to school. I felt it in my sleep. I mailed her in class & urged the school to rush her to a hospital & she slipped into a long coma. Months later her father was in a coma for weeks. I urged her to go in her traditional costume & dance for him. Holding his head in her hands he woke up & cried. Now her mother collapsed from all this stress
Whilst 'Closer' and 'Awake' were albums that really displayed groban's talent in terms of the number of languages he can sing and his singing prowess, I reckon 'Illuminations' is his most personal and grounded album to date...you get a true sense of who Groban is like
why cant you look at me like that...with the same longing i feel for you...? all i have to do when im stressed is put in a song,and all i need is te very first note to feel all better.
Reminiscing back, can't seem to get a grip, so hard even today after so many years it gets worse..sorry, it's not about you, it's about the song..does that make any sense?..Great job on your Lyrics Josh, they never get old..#GodBless!!....
I love josh but I love his first albums over all the others. songs he sings in other languages just have this beautiful soaring quality about them that you don't find in his english songs
You have everything Josh.a beautiful voice, great singer and very handsome.I truly hope that you find the right person to understand you and love you for yourself and not what you you are worth.What good is money and fame if you are lonely.Money can't buy you love ❤️
Lifetime of misery for those who have disliked and those who will dislike Josh's Ssongs and music videos. All his songs have powerful messages. You may not have need of them, but someone may have a bad day and will listen, then be lifted up by them.
Dear Denis, it means a great deal to me; foremost: that your parents took our son on such a beautiful trip: and how much he loved and gained in life experience from this amazing vacation of a lifetime, with them! I cry with joy and happiness, that your beautiful parents had such a great time with our son; knowing they have been to this area of the world a few times before! Max, is over the moon, happy with the trip: rich in new culture, experience and love for all of us! Thank You, Walters! SW.
''Your a wonder. How bright you shine. A flickered candle, in a short lifetime. A secret dreamer that never shows. If no one sees you, then nobody knows'' I've got this song suddenly in my head especially that couplet this evening and so I begun to sing it softly and there was that realization that I'm so quite, dreamy and shy around people. Very reserved. And immediatly I became emotional and only I thought was: 'I'm good as I am. I just have to open up to the world to let my light shine. Even when I'm a little afraid'. And there was the sudden tear that roll down my face... This song is just so beautiful... Shivers everytime...
