Seal - 'Kiss From A Rose' [Live @ SiriusXM] 

It amazes me that Seal has never been asked to record a Bond theme.

Is there a more iconic "BABAYYYY!"

they all lookin at each other like "FUCK YEAH we playing kiss from a rose WITH seal!!!" they all killed it

23 years after the song was released, he still had it. Wonderful performance.

Fact: this song almost never made it to his second album. He was short one song so he pulled this song from a pile of songs he had written years ago and the producer turned into this excellent track. Won a grammy award for it and hit number one.

How he doesn’t even need back vocals is just beyond me. His voice is amazing!

This dudes voice has aged like a fine wine, spectacular

My daughter and I were there to witness this recording. It was an experience - BREATHLESS!!

A lot of artists’s voices aren’t that great live but man does he have such an amazing voice. Literally perfect!

All the musicians behind him are exchanging glances. They know they were smashing it.

Seal probably has one of the greatest voices in history.

Jeff Winger: I'm pretending to be sick to avoid helping Annie move Dean:

He is singing with impeccable mic technique. He is using his voice better live now than he has in the past. Very impressive to see an already gifted singer keep improving his craft.

At his age? Still hitting those high notes. He's feeling the lyrics as he sings with his eyes closed most of the song. That's what you call, bringing it live.

Seal : "Thank you" Me : No.. thank YOU for having such a majestic voice

He's still got it, long live Batman Forever!

One of the very best songs ever written and composed... it never gets old!

Everyone in this video seems genuinely pleased to be able to participate, really an excellent production

Gotta love Seal. He oozes class, sophistication, soul and talent. This song is a total ear-gasm.

The clarity of his tone, the power on the high notes, the tender breathy tone on the low notes, the incredible feeling on the whole song. This man has not lost any of the ability that made this song such a great hit when he released it.

Anyone who likes this I'd recommend looking at Rick Beato's video on this great song.

He's 55 in this video and he doesn't have a single wrinkle (despite those cheek scars). Didn't change at all in almost 25 years. I can only wish I look that good at his age.

There are only 3 songs in my lifetime (I'm 66) that I can honestly say I could listen to on a daily basis without fear of getting bored.This is one. Masterpiece. One word says it all really. Thanks Seal.

Seal’s voice never fails to give me goosebumps. It’s so silky and smooth like butter. What a legend.

im a hard rock guy but you can't deny this mans talent. i remember hearing this song as a kid and i have always loved it, it's kind of my guilty pleasure. amazing singer and just a brilliant song.

Incredible Live Performance. 😊

The young guy behind him ..just in awe. Seal really is an amazing talent. His silent charisma a joy to watch

I love that at the first BAAAAABAYYYY there is just some dude with a yellow shirt casually strolling through the background. Like, what's his deal? Imagine you're just walking around the studio looking for creamer for the coffee and stumble on to fucking SEAL singing Kiss From A Rose. That's the life I want.

As a musician I can say this is a lesson in song writing. Great songs don't just remain great. They become even greater as time goes by. Ripper song and performance.

Unmatchable vocals. So much feeling and it ages like the finest of wine.

He’s taken great care of his voice over the years. And the live instruments are amazing.

You know how great this is when it sounds almost identical to the studio/original version

I'm a metalhead, but I love this song and the complex emotion and sensitivity that Seal pours into it. You can tell you are in the presence of true musical talent when a live cut is better even than the stellar original recording.

Very talented, he never faded. Watched like three times.

He’s his own backup singer 🔥

It always boggles my mind that Seal was embarrassed by this song initially and didn't think it was good enough. After all these years it still gives me goosebumps!

Put Seal in the middle of a battlefield and make him play this song. They’ll be friend by the end ♥️

I am frozen. Not just the song lyrics, Seal, but the clarity in audio and everything about the music through headphones. SiriusXM, Thank you!

If I were to die tomorrow, I'd want Seal (Henry Samuel) to know it was an absolute gem to have experienced listening to him sing in my lifetime. Thank you Seal for all you've given us of your wonderful talent.

I'm so addicted to this, I can't stop playing it. Seal is the man for REAL.

The people who disliked this clearly don’t know what talent is.

"Kiss from a Rose" won the Grammys in 1996 as: Best recording of the year, Best song of the year and Best male pop vocal performance. In this song love has power, it is pure and unconditional ❤

He close his eyes while singing the song. There you know he sing from his heart.

Seal's voice is as amazing as it was as in 94. Don't care much for this tame arrangement compared to the original with all it's intensity. But it is still beautiful.

“... you are my power, my pleasure, MY PAIN!” What a voice!

Love the young guy on the trombone nodding and smiling after the high pitched "myyyyyyyy pain!!!" 👍👍 Nuff appreciation there

Left handed guitar, strung right handed, played left handed. What kind of sorcery is this?!

So he's R&B? So he's Rock? So he's Pop? So he's Orchestral? And he's a hit maker!!! Great rendition here! Soulful as hell!

Seal is like a good Wine, getting better and better with time! Legend right there

I could die. Just flat out die. This is absolutely insanely gorgeous! This and Crazy are two songs that are so incredible. They’re top tier. This live version is a blessing

I’m looking for the best cover to his song and he did it himself ☹️☹️☹️ dam your soulful voice 😂😂😂😂

Now that’s how you sing live- no useless Autotuned garbage needed.

3:35 the guy playing the trombone is so inspired- he is almost cheering!!

who in 2024?

I just want to know who tf disliked this video ?? Whoever disliked this masterpiece definitely has some serious issues 😂😂

His voice is like a rose that never withers. God must be watching with pride, how he created such a wonderful gifted soul. Sail on my brother.

Left handed guitar restrung for a right hander played upside down left-handed. Nice!

You are my power, my pleasure, myyyyyyyyyyy pain lol always great

Now there’s a bloke that can sing!!! 🎤 🎶

1:04 God damn, he's still good! This is a masterclass in singing live.

Only Seal can sing this song so wonderfully!!! 😍

Holy shit that was phenomenal.

It's AMAZING how Seal's voice sounds exactly as the one on the record! Respect!

I was three when this song was released 25 years later you still sound timeless and beautiful God bless your soul and what your heart loves for sharing your magnificence with the world 🌟

Flute guy landed the best job a flute guy could get 1:27

His voice is so good it doesn’t seem real

Back then when you had to have talent to sing on the TV

At about 3:35 mark, trombonist on end shaking his head like "yup, he's got this!" Beautiful.

Damn , his voice is astounding. Dude is holding back but you can still feel the power behind it

Normal people: What a beautiful song, what an incredible performance Me: *Dean Pelton blackmailing Jeff Winger*

If you don't get goosebumps from this, you better check for a pulse.

3:31 that trumpet guy on the right when Seal hits that gargantuan note 😂

If they sing with eyes closed shut, it's good.

Seal is an amazing artist. This song is extremely well crafted and seems simplistic at first listen, but if you look at the changes in the chords and the adding of 9th & 4th intervals give it that signature sound in the melody.

I love this song. I am here listening to this song, April 15, 2021. This is my favorite song by 'Seal'.

impressionante como o ao vivo dele é idêntico a gravação, grande qualidade musical...

Goodness that voice gives me goosebumps…

Let me remind you people that this song is one of the hardest to sing. Kudos to Seal for providing 5 star performance.

I will always love this song. It is so beautiful it almost hurts. At 3:25 - the trombonist's reaction! Love it! 3:35 i like that dude in the back just smilin' "heck yea, this is the good shit right here"

SEAL - Kiss from a rose (Lyrics) There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea You became the light on the dark side of me Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill But did you know that when it snows My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen? Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the grey There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain Baby, to me, you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby? But did you know that when it snows My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen? Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the grey I've been kissed by a rose on the grey I've been kissed by a rose on the grey And if I should fall, will it all go away? I've been kissed by a rose on the grey There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain To me, you're like a growing, addiction that I can't deny (yeah) Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby? But did you know that when it snows My eyes become large, and the light that you shine can be seen? Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the grey Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey Ooh, the more I get of you stranger it feels, yeah And now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the grey Now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the grey. ;)

Seal's voice gives me goosebumps. Raw and powerful with that rasp. Love it.

Every time I revisit this song, has the same effect; makes me cry a little, but always tears of joy. 😌

This song makes me crave romance and family. It makes me want to start a family with a man who loves me. This song has always held an unimaginable power. Thank you, Seal.

Que simpatia!! O Seal é um GRANDE MÚSICO, ARTISTA!!

I'm not gay; but Seal can melt the legs of the ladies if he sings this in a room full of ladies.

What an incredible singer, beautiful, unique voice. Fantastic, memorable song.

realmente Seal é um cantor completo! Maravilhoso!!!!!! algum brasileiro aqui de excelente gosto musical?

Watching in 2021, on repeat. Just beautiful

I'm flabbergasted how incredible Seal's voice still is. This song won't ever get old, even if it's nearly if not more than 30 years now 💖

The lead vocal melody line is such an odd deliberate sequence of ♯ and ♭ Composition a stroke of genius, like catching lightning in a bottle.

OMFG !! When you watch a live you always think ... "let it be as good as studio" this one is actually 3*studio quality ;)

Easily one of the most natural, pure and stunning voices on the planet.

One of the best pop songs ever written

One of the greatest songs of all time!

My 🙂Fave by far.. It means sooo much to me. It was my first born son's favourite song.. He passed away tragically. Irony is He Remains My Power, My Pleasure, My Pain. He is and always will be, My Kiss From A 🌹Rose .My 🕯️Light..😭🤧 😇 SEAL 👑 I💟U.🇯🇲

This vocal performance is just incredible!!!!!

1996 Grammy Award Winners. My first tape. I got it as a youth to skirt the parental advisory label on Coolio’s album… I came for Gangsta’s Paradise.. and stayed for Seal, Allanis, Brandy, Mariah… MJ. It was a good compromise:)

Nowadays live performances hardly (if ever ) sound like the record itself This man is amazing ❤

I found another lefty that plays with the strings upside down even though he has a left handed guitar. That means he learned on a right handed guitar without reversing the strings. That's crazy wicked because you have to learn everything upside down(chords and scales).

1:51 absolutely took my breath away. ive loved this song since i was a kid. of all the musical legends people talk about, he's criminally underrated.
