redbone - childish gambino (joseph solomon cover) 

3.5 million views. To think, i really wasn't gonna upload this video to youtube because i thought my audience at the time wasn't gonna feel it and the algorithm would not favor it. By far the most popular video I've put out, and ironically also my favorite cover i've done. thank y'all for rocking to this!

The algorithm doing you right my guy

That guitar tone is buttery smooth

I'm obsessed with his tonneee

amazing vocals but can we talk about the set up? the quality of this video? the plants? the guitar? him? his style? really nailed it.

He's literally just a dude with a guitar, sitting on a couch, minding his bidness. And sounding absolutely amazing.

Thanks, RU-vid!!!!!!!!

I showed this song to my ex and we used to listen to it all the time. I found out that he has been cheating on me all this time 🙄 and since then I haven't heard it again untill I discovered this version. Now it's mine again and I'm going to claim it ✨♥️ Salute.

His voice feels like moving your palm over a good matte finished surface. Coarse and yet so smooth.

the aesthetics are just... YES

A Joseph Solomon and Masego collab would be 🔥!

This mans voice pierces my soul, he’s dangerous.

The vibes are immaculate

Anyone else have a playlist of just Joe’s covers and all of his own songs🙋🏾‍♀️ Always always a vibe!

Your voice is absolutely beautiful, and I LOVE everything about this cover.

Just one of those voices where the moment you hear it you close your eyes and your shoulders slowly get a life of their own..

Dude what, you’re so good. Everything about this video is so solid, vocals, guitar, setting, angle. Love it bro

Don't wanna kill the vibes, but my grandpop passed away 3 days ago and I've been listening to this album on repeat. Then I remembered your cover, it's amazing! and it's crazy because I've listened to your version several times but always end up turning it off before finishing it, but today I finished, and that "rather be with you" bit at the end just really ties everything together. Thanks for making my day a little better :-) I'd love to hear your rendition of "Terrified" from that album!

i know this will be buried in hundreds of comments but i would just like to say, thank you. this made my day :)

Music really does feed the soul in ways we could never imagine

I absolutely love this. It hits me right in the feels in each note, tone and the way you play.

This is art. The song was already amazing, but you gave the sound tremendous soul. Blown away dude.

The splice of “I’d rather be with you” at the most fundamental part of the song is genius. You sir are truly one of a kind. Thank you so much for blessing us with your gift. 🤙🏾

Broooo the transition into “bootsy collins - I’d rather be with you” was truly epic! I always listened to these songs in tandem because of the similar beat. Well done 👏👏👏

This is just outright incredible

I WANNA HEAR THIS VOICE ALL DAY EVERY DAY

I feel like I understand the song better sung this way.

Bruv... *YOU ARE THE BEST*

I remember you from college in tyler, i never knew you had a voice like this. If i would have known ,i would have had you singing all the time. Now you're shinning with such a lovely voice.

As soon as he sings the lyrics “daylightttt...” *subscribe*

I was expecting a chill tune on the guitar and then suddenly the singing started and I was like woaaahhhhhhhh

His voice feels like he’s singing close to your hears like a secret and CHILLS 🤤

My man, hateful comments may be more pungent to the heart than the good ones, but don't let it get to you man, you're amazing. God bless.

I am grateful for RU-vid algorithm. I am so glad I discovered you. You have an amazing voice

This guy could sing my dishwasher manual and I’d be fine with that

such fire bro wow

Love his smoky, raspy tone *heart eyes*

"if you want it, you can have it"... I needed this, yes make me alive, take me there again and again and again. So beautiful!

If my girl chose to leave me for this guy id understand and wish her goodluck :)

The switch up to the bootsy collins was...*chef kiss* perfect

The smile you bring to my face when I listen to your voice is unmatched. Thank you so much for uploading!

woaahhh this is groovy as hell. your voice is so soulful and unique 🥺

Alguém do BRASIL? 🇧🇷 Esse cover ficou simplesmente perfeito.👏👏👏

no one's talking about the mic quality like holy shit it feels so soothing.

I have alot of respect when i see an artist not only sing great but also play an instrument while doing so.

Daylight I wake up feeling like you won't play right I used to know, but now that shit don't feel right It made me put away my pride So long You made a baby wait for love, so long You make it hard for a boy like that to go wrong I'm wishing I could make this mine, oh If you want it, yeah You can have it, oh, oh, oh If you need it, oooh We can make it, oh If you want it You can have it But stay woke Baby creepin' They gon' find you Gon' catch you sleepin' (Oooh) Now stay woke Baby creepin' Now don't you close your eyes Too late You wanna make it right, but now it's too late My peanut butter chocolate cake with Kool-Aid I'm trying not to waste my time If you want it, oh You can have it, you can have it If you need it You better believe in something We can make it If you want it You can have it, aaaaah! But stay woke Baby creepin' They gon' find you Gon' catch you sleepin' Put your hands up on me Now stay woke Babys creepin' Now, don't you close your eyes But stay woke Babys creepin' They gon' find you Gon' catch you sleepin', ooh Now stay woke Babys creepin' Now, don't you close your eyes Baby get so scandalous, oh How'd it get so scandalous? Oh, oh, baby, you... How'd it get... How'd it get so scandalous? Ooh, we get so scandalous But stay woke But stay woke

Damn near 2 years later and this joint still slaps. The vocals, the mashup, and the lil guitar solo at the end. So fucking perfect man. 🥹 Also, I can’t believe Redbone didn’t sample Rather Be With You cuz they just fit.

Haven't looked up any Childish Gambino in a while but RU-vid still recommended this and I'm blessed this is great

“Stay woke” gets me everytime I know request are rare but if you could do “Baby boy” by Childish Gambino, it would honestly make me so happy, things have been a lil rough but your voice has so much bliss, so tranquil 👑

As soon as he started singing, the guitar just melded with his voice, and everything... good vibes

Do “Get You” by Kali uchis pls

This came on and I just started to cry. Your voice is absolutely soul encompassing. Thank you for sharing it with the world.

Definitely one of our generation's best musician. Keep going on making us travel through your covers, songs and credits.

Quarantined with COVID and I’m so glad I found your music. Your voice is getting me through it rn

This whole video looks like the cover art for a "Spotify: Up & Coming"

Hi Joseph, I've been listening to this song for three years and I wanted to thank you for the comfort that watching you sing calms me down whenever I need it. I'm Brazilian and I really support your work and I hope you make a success of it because it's what you definitely deserve.💛💚

Bro, the audio quality that went into producing this is incredible, fair play to yah 🔥

Everything is beautiful about this but THE GUITAR- OH MY GOSH, ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!!

Joe, your voice sounds the whole Soul of 2020/21🔥 We need your sound 👏🏽 Covers on repeat 🔁

Solid vocal skills and playing, a great personal version of a good song. Everything I love... Respect !

His voice is a masterpiece 😍

god this whole video is so dreamy and ethereal

the absolute chills i got this, you’re so amazingly talented. this is one of those songs in a movie scene where the main character is running somewhere with a purpose and you just get chills all up and down.

Bruh a whole year later and I still jam this version over all the others out there.. This cover turned me into a fan of this brother.. Keep supporting amazing artist like this 💜🌍

I came to hear how he’d deliver “MY PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH KOOLAID” and impressed I am!!! 🤎

The visuals, the setting, the vibes.

Wow. Just wow. Feel like you’ve single handedly brought back an interest in music that has been lost for me since before I joined the military 7 years ago.

You have your own identity but every single persons voice brings you back to some artist from the day ... Al Green is what I want to say brother . Your amazing

This gives me chills!!!! Congrats on doing such a great adaptation for your voice and style. This is just so amazing and overwhelming im in love and cant stop listening to it

I got goosebumps. Your voice and vibe feels like a warm hug. with the song reminding me of these magical evenings with a person I like, slowly falling in love, somewhere on the beach, exciting, living, breathing, some tension. kudos to you, your cover is perfection.

Jesus he’s beyond amazing

damn this is the best cover i’ve heard of this song. loved the chord progressions you used and your voice is so amazing and relaxing!

This is the definition of absolutely vibing

Love the aesthetic of these last couple cover videos 😍

I've been listening this version so many times on a row that I sometimes think that this is the original. Great work, man. Cheers from Brazil.

By far one of my favorite covers. Thanks for this beautiful piece of art. ❤️

Found this in my recommended. RU-vid usually recommends 10 year old 10 second videos but this. This was worth listening to. Amazing.

omg, is this guy real?? the voice, the aesthetic, the vibe, everything about it is simply flawless!!!

I keep coming back to this song so many times because it just makes me feel better. No matter why the day sucked, this is my cure for a shitty day. Thanks Joseph :D

The harmony in his voice just around 1:04 Just incredible

This entire vibe! I don’t know if this makes sense but I could live in this vibe. This is everything great cover Joe!!!

Playing music for me is a kind of therapy: a way to release and chill. I get this feeling from your videos.

Bruh...... Just incredible. The audio quality is fantastic.THIS is how you do a cover. You consistenly produce amazing stuff. Keep it comin!

hearing your music is like expressing my soul and digging deep

This performance makes you feel the daylight of a warm spring morning.

Nahhh I love these series of songs you’ve been giving us!😻😻😻😻

Probably my 30th time listening to this cover.... can you put this ON SPOTIFY ILL ADD ASAP 🙌🏼😭🙏🏽 much love it bro keep it up... ewf

Man, it's November 2022 and I ain't tired for this cover. Ts Joseph

It’s Wonderful to see and hear talented people

To those who wants to sing along: Daylight I wake up feeling like you won't play right I used to know, but now that shit don't feel right It made me put away my pride So long You made a nigga wait for some, so long You make it hard for a boy like that to go wrong I'm wishing I could make this mine, oh If you want it, yeah You can have it, oh, oh, oh If you need it, oooh We can make it, oh If you want it You can have it But stay woke Niggas creepin' They gon' find you Gon' catch you sleepin' (Oooh) Now stay woke Niggas creepin' Now don't you close your eyes Too late You wanna make it right, but now it's too late My peanut butter chocolate cake with Kool-Aid I'm trying not to waste my time If you want it, oh You can have it, you can have it If you need it You better believe in something We can make it If you want it You can have it, aaaaah! But stay woke Niggas creepin' They gon' find you Gon' catch you sleepin' Put your hands up on me Now stay woke Niggas creepin' Now, don't you close your eyes But stay woke Niggas creepin' They gon' find you Gon' catch you sleepin', ooh Now stay woke Niggas creepin' Now, don't you close your eyes Baby get so scandalous, oh How'd it get so scandalous? Oh, oh, baby, you... How'd it get... How'd it get so scandalous? Ooh, we get so scandalous But stay woke But stay woke

This is one of the most beautiful things I have heard, and seen, ever. Can't get enough.

Amazing, laid-back cover. Love the tone of it, wish I could combine jazz and singing and vibe by myself but my singing is terrible.

Keep killin ‘em, Joe

Really need this on 1hr repeat....I listen to it so much.

I’ve never even heard the original song and idk if I ever want too because this was incredible. Such a vibe!!!

WOW!What a voice! Damn!!!!! This is pure talent. These vocals take me to a different place man

His voice and the instrumental. Dammmn

That *daylight* hits like a sledgehammer every time. *I bet I've heard this cover more than the original and I'm not ashamed to say it.* That is straight🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I've never been touched like this in a while.

It’s everything. The color of the shirt, which matches the shirt, which matches the hair, which matches the beanie, which jumps out from the plants, which blends in with the couch. Love it.
