Does no one else think he's so handsome?! And the voice....the voice woo!

From Sofar Sounds to preforming at the White House what a journey it has been for Leon

Wow. This kid is the truth! We need more of this and less of what's being played on the radio.

Leon is beyond talented. What I love about this young man is the fact that his music and sound is timeless. I look forward to seeing this guy blossom.

no lie I wish I knew what kind of ppl to show this too. to me this is magical, soulful. honestly I just wana find a women to grab by the hand and just Dance with. this is music, this is life, this is what ppl are missing.

I'm really grateful to Apple for showcasing "Coming Home" on their iPhone 6 ad with the seagull and the wave. Seriously, that thing brought me to Leon Bridges.

this is what you called becoming the track an expression of his soul...he's realize that his voice is in instrument...

I have personally watched this video 3,578 times

Great cadences in his vocal, and the guitar just ebbs in and out around the margins, this is stunning.

This is so powerful and fucking real.

Didn't know we still had talent like this, sing live without a compromise!

He is the most handsome man that i have seen and his voice is more than words can describe

So complex, and yet so simple. Beautiful, enchanting. Just a story. Absolutely amazing. Composed with so much love and real meaning of life, true meanings. I couldn't say how many times I've listened to this. Leon, thank you. You have forever changed my life. One

If I could sing and scratch a guitar this beautifully, I wouldnt be such trash🔥

I like listening to Leon Bridges It's the right kind of music for a peace of mine

The magic in this song, and Leon in general, is the absolute timelessness of his voice, songwriting, and composition. It's a song that even the first time you hear it, it feels like an old friend whose presence you've been missing.

I’m here again, Dec. 2021 for this masterpiece

he makes u see the movie in his song beautiful ,.🤗🤗🤗

I'd pay such big money to see him live, his music truly transports me

i feel like you couldn't possibly be disappointed with a live performance from him. hope he comes to seattle sometime

I wish I was there, this is my favorite song now lol.

WHY DO I NOT HEAR THIS ON THE RADIO?!? WTF?!?! Guess I'll ALWAYS go over my damned days since all the good shhh is HERE! THIS MAN IS AMAZING!!!

wow! jeez. how original and beautiful.

I'm responsible for approximately 74k of these views and that's probably just today.

Such raw, soulful talent. Something hard to find in today's young artists really. His music is fantastic!

The BEST! The ONE! 🎤​🌟​🤗​🙏​

Sam Cooke in the flesh lol glad this young brotha is coming back with the black soul at such a critical time for our culture

has the feel of sam cooke and the voice mixture of sammy davis and sam cooke, taking us back to the soulful days of music with his voice and performance

really fun to watch the drummer mouth the words and pretend he is effortlessly singing this Leonic tune. keep it up mr bridges and my lady Brittni!

Got to see Leon last night in NYC - blown away by every song, but I gotta say, this one topped the top. Incredible voice, incredible songwriter. This is real deal goodness.

MUSIC! MUSIC! MUSIC!!! YES! Good to see a young man keeping the power and beauty of music afloat. Cheers, Mr. Bridges! Keep it up - people are listening & appreciating!

1:39 , now that's adoration.

this literally gave me chills

Leon, you kill me with this song and you will kill me again at your show at the Troubadour in LA on March 24

I wish this song was 20 minutes long.

One of my most favourite songs on sofar. Moving the time back to 2017 when I just gave birth and became a new mum. My husband slowly abandoned me, I was in a lot of pain. The background music of that period of time was this song, which I listened to a thousand times, which got me through countless heartbroken nights. His voice, the tune, the lyrics, just angels from heaven to help people in hardships. Now I'm a relatively stronger mother and woman. Thank you so much..

One of the best songs and albums of the last decade

mmmmm his voice is smooth as honey and just as sweet. beautiful

So real.. be sure to recognize your talent and don't conform.

Voz de oro, tono antiguo, tema eterno… de qué navegar sin más orilla que sentir la desvaída caricia de quien tanto nos amó. Gracias Leon por tan tierna canción. “She was going home in New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana/ Branded with a name, Lisa Sawyer”.

This is absolutely serene

Wow .. greatness happening right now with this kid. Hopefully he is surrounded by the right people so we can enjoy his music for many many years to come. What a great tribute to his mom
