Michael Kiwanuka - Cold Little Heart (Live Session) 

Definitely not ❤

The instrumental intro sounds like it’s inspired by Pink Floyd

A little shine on crazy diamond vibe most definitely ❤

Heaps .

U r not alone.

Keep listening, enjoy 'clean' music!!!

Bro, I've been clean for 12 years and am so thankful every day I have real relationships and live life. Life hurts, but its real and I'm proud of you for choosing yourself and your future. All the best, compadre. Stay the course, I wanted to turn back sometimes, it changes the brain, but you got this!

Wonderful. Keep it up.

Congratulations, I'm so proud of you!!! You got this, one day at a time, and hell, one hour at a time if need be - that's how it is for me sometimes at least. . . . just know that you are stronger than any addiction you may battle in life, keep your head up always, forgive yourself, and ALWAYS ALWAYS love yourself more than any one else ever could!

@@Macamposd So proud of you bro!!! Keep loving yourself and lifting yourself and others up on the daily!!! The world needs more people like you who show understanding, love, and encouragement to others 🤜 🤗👏🙌

Me for one. Got into his music a couple of years ago (except 'I'm a black man in a white world' which I resented

You're 7 years ahead of me. All I can say after the first listen to anything from this artist is, wow.

Not also the man... everyone!! 💖 Luved the choir~

There are plenty of us old geezers here.

I agree with you i can keep on listening to this song

You nailed it. 100% agree!

Great analogy. ❤

Wtf you took the words right out of my mouth

Nail on head there 🥰

Definitely some Floyd going on. He even has Gilmour"s tone. First thing I thought of when I heard the first guitar note.

Subashish Bhattacharjee 👍

Same to you

secret life of plants, stevie wonder.

True...

Thank you :) Same to you :)

Congrats on your newborn sir!

Wish you many more perfect days in your life❤😊

Little joys of life that count the most!

I'm 84 years old, and I can't get this beautiful song out of my mind, I truly love it, it makes me feel so grateful to still have my husband here by my side . (63 years). Truly amazing, soulful, singer !

@@agnesgruber7697 Ah, that`s nice. I`m 86 and listen to this a great deal. My old man of 60 years is 90 years old- he doe not appreciate - he ain`t cool !! The intro to this will be played at my wake !!

Yeah this and the video are sublime, and take me specifically right back to my 20’s, working in the St Louis ghetto. Makes me ache all over, but beautifully.

Junho de 2023

Perfectly said

I agree

Gods connection!!

It's trueeeeee. I felt that before with this song.

Richard O yeah this is one of those songs where you feel like so good everything could be going to shit and it’s okay

Sorry, my bad.

tenebrafer just superb

@Georg Eickhoff could you share your list please? I love this song too so you definitely have great taste sir!

Can you share some titles sir?

give us your personal list of songs for eternity :p pls

Would love to connect and share music! Music is the one thing keeping me from feeling lonely. I would love to share more with you

I wish you all the best bro! You should listen to that song "arriving somewhere but not here". ❤

I wish you all the best!

thank you and your family for everything you do for this country..stay safe.. n my prayers

Be safe on the road. And thank you for doing what you do. 🙏

go check out the album full version. it actually has that... liquid crystal sound of pink floyd. amazing song.

amazing yes. but I can only wait so long, so many times for 6:22 to arrive.

*the intro

Totally!! Even, when i heard this song for the first time, i thought it was pink Floyd but then I saw that it was Michael.

@@pladtoeputh nah man, the whole experience is what does it. What you are saying is like wanting to have sex just for reaching orgasm. The whole experience is much more fulfilling than actually reaching the end goal

@pat … same with me I’m 68 and love this song.

Love ya Pat!

@@chanelv5373 I'm 77 and enjoy this music as well...don't need the joints to get to a good place!

omg. I was totally thinking Otis and Withers!

With a little David Gilmour thrown in on the geetar.

Not just a little. Don't sell David short on this one ;-)

Wahn Yoon fucked up part my lil nieces and nephews wont hear of him till I put this in their faces..this music needs to reach these lost souls....

this young and over talented man knows what he is doing..now this is what you call serious music that's very good for your ears and soul...just absolutely brilliant

Yep, this is bloody amazing (although recording in a studio does permit to edit and mix)

The song unfolds magnificently, this version is thoroughly mindblowing.

Pink Floyd?

pink floyd

don't focus on the technical performance and enjoy the music

Carlo Gigantini , same here )

After RU-vid’s algorithm recommended to me a few weeks ago black pumas colours (which I’m obsessed with Now), and now it recommended this. I’m very happy. Amazing discovering musicians doing their magic. Love live performances like this.

@@Flutterbyby personally with this RU-vid feature i discovered a lot of gifted musician. Only in the last year: Khruangbin, Kiwanuka, Camel (a fantastic progressive rock band from UK), and so on....

🙌🙏🙌

This time anyhow...lol

It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my 55 yrs on this world and I doubt I'll ever hear anything better. I bet you're hubby gets some memories from watching this back. Tc.❤

​@@petercurrie8047i agree 100% with you, these are the 11 minutes most beautiful I've had.

@@petercurrie8047 Never lay in doubt

Exactly

maybe u like Placebo

indeed, my friend AMEN HALLELU _JAH_

😭🥰🙏🏿

TRACY BURNELL RIP

so sorry.

Oh wow; just sometimes it can be hard to find answers in all the chaos; seems your brother was on to something big, here - what a great man he was must have been in life; I am so sorry for you. I was JUST thinking I would want this played at mine still have more to explore, and as far as I know I have a few more days but we don't ever know so I live my life that way.

Sorry baby...sorry.

This is a true piece of art and so is your brother. RIP

Man you're about to go on a great ride with this artist🙌🙌🙌Hope you'll be able to catch a live performance, they are great👍

a colleague just put me on right now, about to listen to it for the 1st time

Sly Cooper saw him live on Saturday.. wow.. what a spiritual journey he put me on

Sly Cooper b

culltim cool . . .I see what you did there. :))

My condolences, stay strong.

My deepest condolences bro

My condolences! Thoughts and prayers are with you, brother

I’m sorry for your loss ♥️

Stay strong brother

Bless you!! It touches me in the very same way .. .. it's some of the very best of human beings capabilities.. and it's breathtaking!!!

I've found it on instagram a few weeks ago, and today this performance made my day

Its on the opening credits of an HBO show.

Better late than never! :)

My feelings exactly ✌️🥰🍁💨💨💨

Opino lo mismo, solo nos queda disfrutar de la música

Sending my condolences Melanie. So sorry to hear of your loss. Hang in there as best you can and give Skyler a big kiss.

My condolences. This song does speak to many emotions. I agree to your words. i think of love for those that we lost is one of the most natural feelings this cut through. I admire the beautiful sincere words you have written for your husband, you can tell you truly had met and embraced immortal Love through and wkth him. For me, I am thinking of the many miscarriages my wife and I suffered. The hopes of a life and of someone you will never meet. This song leaves me stern and pensive, the thoughts and emotions swim through me. I think we all meet the deepest love and loss emotions thanks to this song..all the best Melanie, may music and thinking of your husband keep your big heart warm, not cold or little. Vito

Thank you for your kind words, my love to you and your family ! ❤️

❤️

Melanie, your words were apt and incredibly touching. Thank you for sharing writing to the world. Sending my condolences. May warmth and serenity find their way to your heart xx

Beautiful.

So beautiful. 💗

:D the feeling is mutual

One of us 👍

"I dont know how I got here..." thank you for giving words to so much. Beautiful. 🌤

I listen to it at least once of twice every few months since like 6 yrs ago

👏

Because it just sounds like the old Songs ;)

Don't even mind that he's borrowing the Gilmore tone/feel a bit....

I recommend listening to KEXP (listen online or with their app. Their RU-vid Channel has AMAZING live sessions). They are a cut above the rest as far as genres of music they play. I find alllll my new music there. I found Michael Kiwanuka there as well. They are public ran radio too.

To be honest, this music does borrow greatly from music from the 70's. His guitar tone and feel, and the ARP String Ensemble are staples of the Pink Floyd sound.

Vinay Chandra totally agree!!!!

Vinay Chandra the music director of that show , must be congratulated on introducing these artists most people never heard of

Me too!

@@ANGELSLVME Best soundtrack! I am hoping it is just as good if not better than Season 1. Do you know the name of the black guy who singing back up? He has an incredible voice.

absolutely haunted by this song, and love that we can listen and watch this studio recording session ~ such a gift! such a treasure, thank you!

Gina Denise Torrez

I'm sorry for your loss good music that reaches the soul to tell all our life stories. Stay strong!!

Heed up pal

Stay strong, brother.

All the best mate.

Yeah Remember me Gilmour a lot

@@dariosepulveda4445 In the 70s, this type of entry into various prog-rock groups was very common, it was not Pink Floyd who invented the genre. It was a musical genre very typical of the time and Michael Kiwanuka was inspired by it. I advise you to listen to more music from the 60s / 70s besides Pink Floyd, such as for example Camel, E.L.P., Genesis, Uriah Heep, etc.

I thought the exact same thing. Amazing

Thanks for the uppity music history lesson Luis - complete with 'advised' listening list - but this is Pink Floyd all over, namely Shine On You Crazy Diamond from the Wish You Were Here album of 1975. If you're not recognising that you have no place advising anyone about anything to do with music. No thanks to your 'prog-rock' wankery anyway, can't stand any of those bands. No one is saying they "invented the genre", but Floyd were in a class of their own.

@@compassolargo ...Kool and the Gang's Summer Madness, Carlos Santana, George Duke, Lonnie Liston Smith, to add my 2 cents to your impressive list.

I'm 71 years old. I love this song . . can listen to it all night long. I wonder how many other "geezers" my age can appreciate this young man's incredible talent.

That is what makes this performance so special. The engineer is part of the band

Man, agreed here. He got that SM7B sounding incredible & every aspect.

🙏

Why? Because PF's influence is all pervasive. Any serious young guitarist / musican at some point gets the recommendation to listen to Pink Floyd, follows up on it and falls in love with. PF is truly timeless music that will continue to inspire musicians for ages to come. BTW, loving this :-)

He's not quite all alone but being influenced by such an influential band as Pink Floyd is no surprise.

We all are influenced by Pink Floyd, just like every good musician should be. But creating songs similar to Floyd's songs is not an easy job, and he did it brilliantly, despite his age.

Michael you are really special..your music gives me all kind of emotions..

Piero Pasquini Yeah !!!! amazing sound!

Same! 🎶🎶🎶

So accurately described !!

Big little lies brought me here a while ago still returning because of how good this is

Totally agree with you. Perfect!

Yes!! Very Pink Floyd sounding!!

This song is addictive to the soul. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I just said the same to my mum actually, lol I thought I was alone with that observation. Very much the Pink Floyd vibes going on at the start 👌🏼

Exactly my thoughts..

That's exactly what I thought. Those beautiful haunting complex harmonies in the instrumental lead in are hypnotic. Reminds me of vintage Pink Floyd. The vocals are incredible. If we all still lived in the age of super groups this would definitely he heading to the hall of fame. These guys are real craftsmen.

Jimi Hendrix

Don't forget Neil Young

Very "Floydian...."

GREAT influence!

uff strong Words it is pretty fucking great but there is Are hell of are way to say the Words you just said peace from Danmark

Yep totally agree ❤

Stephanie D I was thinking the same thing, Stephanie. Terrific camera work, congruent with flow of music.

Stephanie D...and the lighting. The religious feeling...

Stephanie D yes. You can actually see the (fab) musicians playing their instruments . . .no fade zoom fade cut zoom fade. Its quality production to go with the music.

and the way you described all the thing, the way you writed that down is indeed quite pleasent to read

Absolutely! Starting with the coffee mugs, then the pianist with his delicate play to start the song and slowly introducing the others members, standing behind Kiwanuka when he's working on his pedals, including the drummer just in time in the shot at 4:10 when he makes his debute, then the light into the lens at 6:10 to visually make the transition of the song from intro to the 'actual' song, subsequently getting behind the drummer and shifting the focus at 7:20 back to Kiwanuka and the rest of the band, including the percussionist at 8:20 at exactly the right moment to show his work on the shakers and make you actively noticing them, geting the guitarist at 9:10 in shot when his individual work is more prominent, getting the backup vocals and Kiwanuka in the shot at 10:00 when it is all about them, standing behind Kiwanuka at 10:30 when it is all about him, subtle moving him to the left side of the shot to include the drums and percussion as they kickin in again at 11:00, getting the backup vocals back in the shot when they re-emerge at 11:20, idem for the guitarist and then going back to the starting position and the coffee mug to close the video. Definately not by coincidence all this and it must have taken them a lot of tries, but the result is very natural and subtle. Makes you really part of the whole live aspect. Love it!

It would be a long forehead.

Love this comment

Lmao YES!!

YAS

Omg that's so accurate lol

Balcstar I agree! That's exactly what I thought!

The guitar was Pink Floyd laced. Love the player

First half of the song is like a Pink Floyd tribute.

Yes, yes I do.....

Totally agree

Fully agree. Shades of Pink Floyds live at Pompeii version of 'Echoes' in some strangely beautiful way

and some neil Jung dont ask me why....

Classic Autumn so well put!! Each time I’m listening I hear someone I can relate his sound to but he has his own thing which makes him that much incredible

I felt a little David Gilmour in there too....

@@timmyr345 A Little? :D A ton!

A lot of David Gilmore! @@timmyr345

❤

❤

Jip...same feelings here !!!

not sure what or if I can possibly say to describe what I feel about the song but for some reason I see angels smiling while listening

I agree all the way.

totally what I thought

Was getting mad Gilmour vibes in the intro

No shit!!! Wowo!!!

Reminds me of Geoff Whitehorn guitar too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OccmcfZ9ZnY.html

Im getting that «shine on you crazy diamond» and «5 Am» vibe:). Incredible playing!

It touches your mind, body and soul very deep

As a videographer and sound engineer I must say this is one hell of a production! Well done and looking forward to the next one :)

bro you have to check out city and colour!

1👍

Who you been watching?The spice Girls?

Beautiful!

Sounds incredible!

Im listening to it from ashitholein manchester, yep, its beautifull.😁

Sounds amazing anywhere on the planet

Or listening to it over and over ... having a boyfriend in a shitty country... not being able to be together.

Total Pink Floyd vibes 🌈 🌚

I get what you guys are feeling here. But man, it's actually a little more subtle, a little more gentle hey? Keys are so sweet and Michael's guitar playing is beautiful. Vocals are almost tearful. You know the world is feeling you when you're viewer 22,979,130

well said. exactly. Its one of those conceptual tracks

Damn for real pink Floyd vibes from this song, all his songs feel like a different era/genre

can't wait for the pompeii live version

perfect comment... agree entirely

Your response is a fine tribute.

Totally agree. Where did this come from ? Sublime, is that a good word? Anyhow perfrct

You make it sound like it’s not already doing that lol

Concordo, sinto o mesmo! Parece anjo cantando.

Your "hole" life?

Michael Clayton best description

~ beautifully said Michael... and so true ~

Michael Clayton 100%.

Silences...

12 minutes. One Take. AWESOME

You described it PERFECT

Michael is one of those rare musicians with the confidence to make you wait that little bit longer, before hitting you with another masterful chord change, alteration in tempo or subtle shift in sound. Absolutely magnificent.

Yes please..

@@kennethkayemba5100 it's too good.

nothing is a mistake when we understand that life is an experience and.... be safe and healthy is the only value EVERY BODY IS MISSING THE CONECCION WITH OURSELF,,,, we regret forget and we know deep inside

Thank you internet stranger ❤️

♥️

is this from Gene Belcher?

reminded me of Pink Floyd

The intro slays me every time.

Agreed..the ammont of times I have hit the replayed button to this song is rather unhealthy. I am proudly addicted to this song.

@Pray-Each-Second-Create-Miracles you religious zealots really have no shame, huh?

Thanx

thank you

It is such a beautiful soulful song...love, love, love it.

God damn.....the lyrics....so true ...so powerful

Bellísima..

I also feel the same , spot on mate , its just bringing some memories back , good and the bad ones at the same time, this one is a masterpiece indeed 👌

I feel offended

Don't worry, you've heard it and I've heard it. Views are *not* a measure of quality .

Right? Been listening to it on repeat for past weekend

stephen percival conspiracy

It's not a conspiracy. The thing is, the vast majority of people don't dig around for good music. They take what is put in front of them. Back when the internet was first going public, so many people argued that it was going to take away the 'filters' of the music companies and let everyone get out there on their own. And of course it did that. But what those folks never understood was that you could ALWAYS get out there on your own. The difference between the ones who got big and those who didn't is money, in almost all cases. Doesn't matter how good they are, unless they are gotten in front people on a broad scale, they will almost never become big. Nothing to do with talent, it's all about the human nature. And, the other thing the internet did, was let EVERYONE get out there on their own. So now there's a massive over-supply of music. By next week, most people can't even remember what it was that they were listening to last week. They stumbled across ten other acts or artists in the meantime. Add to that the fact that so much music is now synthetic and edited to the gills on the computer, it's undermined the value of talent. We don't live in an era anymore when people are respected for talent like was the case before the 2000's. That makes it a lot easier for 'beautiful people' to appear to be talented artists, and beautiful people always have the advantage with the wider audience. So it becomes about image and fashion and being a celebrity and all that. People like this guy need to be in an era where talent is celebrated. And an era where the ability to actually play your own music is important. That's just not the case now in mainstream popular music, and hasn't been since the 2000's really. I watched a video a few weeks ago of a festival where people just played their recorded music and basically just stood around on stage without actually performing anything at all. Where does this guy fit in that? With everyone stealing music like crazy, those folks with the money to put behind musical acts are going to take no risks. They'll put their money on the most formulaic, digitally produced music. The guy who just plays his music off of his laptop on stage and stands there just costs them plane tickets, unlike a real band. Back when music made a lot of money, music companies would put money behind a lot of acts and see what worked. And guys like this would get a chance to see if he could find a real audience. But now, most folks like him are going to be just another dude on RU-vid, amongst millions of the same, struggling to get above the noise.

Well said. I heard this on satellite radio. Far better than any of the " top 40" crap.

stephen percival I so agree!!!!

I can't stand the music now a days..no talent and no depth or message..this is a breathe of fresh air and Michael and the rest of the band should gets noticed.

Now you have 3 likes lol 😂 and good taste in music 🎶

Go girl go.

The deal with matter and flesh (versus energy and abstract which is what we are ultimately made of) is that we FORGET the reason we came to this planet. We know IN ADVANCE the troubles and hardships we will face, the temptations and falls we will encounter. This being the constant for everyone that signs up to the matrix of the little blue planet... What would then be the variable? THE WAY WE GO THROUGH THE HARDSHIPS OF LIFE. The attitude, the temperance we choose to undergo experiences while we 'walk through the valley of death'... You faced your grim reality and pulled through by playing sounds, appealing to VIBRATIONS. That was your coping mechanism. Some will do it appealing to substances like alcohol, pot, chemical drugs, some others will do it through tasting violence, control and some, the least, will even choose murder... very dangerous choices we will pick as we go through life but those will be the memories that will stick through, long, long after we are no longer physically here.... So good on ya Chelsea!. "It takes a very long time to clean out the garbage that we, luminous beings, pick up while in the world..." Book The Eagle's Gift by Carlos Castaneda

God wiling. Hope you are doing better

@@daniluchison you are a wise genius..

Yes I thought the same. I've heard this song many times, just not this version and I will say it's phenomenal!

Saw him live at a festival, about three years ago, didn't know anything about him, never heard of him before. As soon as they started to play this song I got chills -- and the same vibe -- Pink Floyd. Amazing and unforgettable experience!

fax

Fuck yeah . Its turururur rururue at 6. Something . God I was going craaaaaaaazy to figure out where I had listen to something similiar to that .

Izzul Ameer my thoughts exactly

Over 6 minutes! Oh yep, its what we talking about! I have no word, its so great

What Pink Floyd song(s) come to your mind with this?

No particular song, just the general atmospheric mood of the instrumental intro.

Ok. I'm going crazy trying to think what song 3:42 riff reminds me/is similar to.

Well, that bit reminds me of "Shine on your crazy diamond".

Most of The Wall, obviously.

Just heard it yesterday for the first time. I have listened to it 5 more times. What a masterpiece of music...

I discovered this song yesterday and it is the earworm of this decade. The last song to do this to me was maybe Gnarls Barkly’s crazy.

we're with you all the way...

Yeah, today is a tough one for me as well. Missing my Dad who passed recently. A lot was held inside and I've been recently letting it out. This song helps so much as I come to terms. I'm with you Brother.

@@releasethekraken3603 and I'm with you as well

Stay strong brother, we all feel the same

Words can not describe the music the lyrics take me too the depths of my soul and rip through my heart I hope every one hears the same thing I do fn magnificent

Beautifully stated....

Music is subjective, objectively “crap” music doesn’t exist, it’s just for different people
