Since I found Teddy on Spotify I listen to no one else. I’m 64 and maybe not your demographic but when music and lyrics speak to you, age, gender or genre just don’t matter. Stay on your path, you got this. ❤
I'm 56 and love him too! I think he's one of those artists who crosses those demographics and crushes them. Music has this effect when it feels like it's being manipulated into something it's not.
To soon! he has just conquered the whole of Europe with a fabulous tour! I'm from the Netherlands; he had 2 top 3 hits here, and his album is slaying the charts. In the UK he has just become a hot commodity. People are paying over 5 times the usual ticket price to see him in concert! Next year, he'll be playing the Big Arena's, for sure!
He will though. I’ve followed him on RU-vid for years. Probably 7 I Came across a cover. I knew right then I’d be seeing him live one day in my hometown of Manchester 🇬🇧 see you Saturday Teddy ❤
I smiled when he said 'Pain is paying the bills'- reminded me of when a reporter asked Sarah McLaughlin why she hadn't wrote or recorded anything as her child was 2 yrs old now and she replied she wasn't miserable or sad enough to write.
Love watching him, listening to him in interviews and Definitely Love Listening to him pour out his Beautiful heart and soul to all of us ❤😊 Stay your humble self , we need this in our lives 😊 💯%
Teddy you are amazing! You remind me so much of my husband that past in 2010. He and I would sing and dance and just enjoyed life and when he passed, I didn't want to listen to music anymore and quit singing. I was watching the Kelly Clarksons show and you brought me back. Thank you. I sing your music every morning on my way to work. It feels so good to sing and dance again. I love your song Broke. It cracks me up and I just love it. I love you and am so grateful to you for bringing some joy back to my life. I hope to attend your concert in Knoxville this year. Keep doin it man. You are my therapy. ✌🏻💜
Wow just started really listening to teddy and I think I’ve found my favorite secular artist! I just love the raw vocals and relate so deeply to his music! Keep it up man God loves you!
Love Teddy since his early videos. I came across him on UTUBE and had to tell everyone that liked Music, you have to listen to this guy !!!!! I am so happy that he finally made it.. He sang that for his Mom & said I'm not crying❤
DUDE.......I NEVER comment but.... I'm a 61 year old mom of 2 grown kids and grandmom of 4. I play an acoustic Ibanez custom inlaid mother of pearl and abalone neck. Was a mom and accountant....now I just play for hours each day and sing and shit. I find you to be so authentically y...and I'm lovin it all man. EAT IT UP
Love me some Teddy Swims. He’s someone I listen to every night now at the end of my day. Such an original artist that is so humble but just exceptional singer. He feels the music and you embrace every note. 8:39
I love you so much I'm a 66year old woman I watched all your interviews and love you more would love to meet you I'm in Texas my mom is from toccoa Georgia my name is Cheryl Stewart ❤
Thank you for allowing us a little sneak peak into your process, as well as part of your catharsis! I definitely identify. Your music is my therapy ~ Love you! Keep your head up, because your are amazing inside and out
Teddy I have always loved your music and the human being you are. Such a beautiful soul it's unfortunate the people judge us for the way we look in the music industry you are such such a beautiful soul and a beautiful gentleman inside and out. You are raw and don't put on a persona which is rare. And you are beautiful truly moving people's heart and soul.... Keep On Keepin On and staying true to yourself because you are beautiful are we all doubt ourselves sometimes especially if we are impacts I'm truly care about people.... thank you so much for changing my life🎉
I've been following Teddy Swims & his band the Elefvnts since his early RU-vid garage videos in 2019. I was hooked from the start - got to see his first tour in Philly in January 2020 & multiple times since. Have tickets for the show in Atlantic City next month. His raw, rich, raspy, & genuine bluesy vocals are phenomenal. Heartbreak gave him the best lyrics & music for the most recent album. Teddy deserves the recognition he's getting- he's incredibly humble & generous- I'm hopeful that won't change!
Very classy person. I really like Teddy Swims. I mean that. He seems like someone who is making memories & really coming into his in a major way and also impressing all of us, the fans of his music, his lyrics-but more than that, the scratchy, sexy, strong sounds that emerge from him when he opens his mouth to sing his songs for us all... I'm a fan, getting to be a bigger fan all the time❣️
It's amazing what effect heart break can have on the mind and propel imagination. What a fab artist. This song from the heart is the same as what happened to LP when her lover dumped her resulting in epic song Lost on you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W8ayD4b5FMo.html Keep the great work up Teddy and may you continue to have great success in your career...
My son and I love him so much! His music brought us through a difficult time with the death of Paul's dad, my husband. I just existed. I wasn't living. Then I discovered Teddy's music, and we started going to his concerts and feeling like living might be possible again. He has no idea. But we travelled over 1500 miles by car to see him this summer, and it was worth every mile. My son (special needs) loves him so much, and he just shined! Teddy even seemed to sing to him at one point in Denver, Colorado, after we had endured high temperatures, thunderstorms, rain... all the stuff that can make a memory. Paul was simply beside himself that his hero sang right in front of him... he calls Teddy his "Friend". It was precious to him, and Lord knows it was precious to me. I only wish I could let Teddy know how much it meant, and how awesome he is to people like us.
HEARING THIS SONG FOR THE FIRST TIME SHOT ME RIGHT UP OUT OF MY BED AND GOT ME MOVING AND LEARNING THE SONG, WRITING THE CHORDS AND PREPPING TO PERFORM IT FOR REAL THIS WEEKEND!! THANK YOU TEDDY SWIMS AND MIKKI EKKO
Isn’t losing ‘control’ in a sense a good thing? Especially when you are emptying yourself of self? Being ‘other centered’ is what real love is all about. It’s called ‘kenotic love’ aka “agape”.
I dont give many newer artists their credit bc lets be honest, most of them are just one hit wonders or just disappear in 1 year. I honestly feel like this guy could be here for a long time. His voice and singing ability is extremely unique! The older crowd even enjoys his music a lot. He definitely has talent! I hope he doesn’t fall off tho 😂 A lot of times these newer artists get fame and they get lost in it, and drugs. Hope thats not the case with Teddy. Truly talented and he doesnt get the credit he deserves. I have seen so many ppl judging him over his tattoos and how he dresses in such. I personally like that abt him and I have only 1 tattoo on my body and only ears pierced but havent wore earrings in 10+ years. But anyways, its abt the music, not whats on his skin or his fashion is it? I wouldnt think so. Ppl can be so judgmental these days.
Maybe the highs, and lows of your relationship with this woman ( I assume it was a woman). and even the break up lows were actually plummeted to incredible lows, and the heights were propelled to a super high due the substance abuse
No such thing as a particular type of demographic for music my friend. A 14 year old listening to this would take something away from it very differently to a 24 year old, 44 year old or 64 year old. One of the greatest joys we all have as we get older is being able to listen to songs from when we where young and them taking on a whole new significance - like listening to a song for the first time again. It's glorious!
Teddy I am a therapist. It is our job to care about you. It's a therapist seems to be uncaring you have the wrong one but most are caring. That's why we get into this business. Do it. You will not regret it. Oh and if you don't connect with one just save it I'm not connecting with you and find another one.
Therapy is a wonderful tool, skills to learn to cope. Not a pseudonym, it is nothing more than school for the mind body and soul! I have chronic pain, from 4 spinal surgeries. I learned a tremendous amount, about who I am from therapy. Without it I would still be lost.
WELL AMEN TEDDY SWIMS! .... I have had years of therapy and I actually think we can all learn something from you! I am not saying "don't " because we all need to grow on our journey ... but I have to say from my experience, you are humble, honest, brave and not afraid to grow. I feel we can all learn something from your bruises and honesty. Thank you Teddy Swims for being you ... I actually took a life lesson from your sharing tonight that I can put in my tool box of life and bring out when needed to accept myself and the life that is always changing.
I am 66 and have loved music all my life all genres, my favourite singer songwriter was George Michael and I would have no doubt that if they had been to collaborate with each other the end product would have been incredible, Teddy Swims is incredible and deserves much more recognition than he gets
so my understanding from listening to multiple interviews with him about this topic, and this song was that he was with somebody he loved and the relationship was partially built off of using drugs together, and the best feelings that they had together were using drugs and connecting on so many levels physically and what not and it just seemed like it was something very toxic and that was going to end badly so that's my understanding of the whole situation I just know bless your heart for coming out on the other side clean and doing better whether or not you're clean you're definitely healthier and I hope you stay on the straighten path and get your act together because we need you for so many souls in this world mine included listening to you in this interview when you said you don't know that you want something so bad until you get out of the other thing that you're in use substances to make yourself feel better or numb and going to the withdrawal sucks but when you get on the other side, the realization of being clean and feeling so good is something that you want more than the substance abuse and I remember that feeling and thinking about it when you said that gives me hope for myself because I know that's what I want.
Don't bring up the past of someone so much sometimes people really are trying to fix their life and they don't need someone always bringing the stuff back up once is enough just be happy with them enjoy their happiness with them let them have their enjoyment. And love them for.fixing their wrongs...just bless them daily..
@@deborahthompson8370 I'll try to be polite by saying you must be lacking some sense in your head because the reason he made the song and put it out for the world is because he wanted people to understand specific problems and hopefully how to avoid them bye understanding what he's gone through so the whole reason is for someone to maybe learn from his mistakes and not go through what he did . not only that the interview they're literally talking about it and the interviewer is asking him this question so for you to say don't bring up the past about a subject that is literally about the past is hilarious. I'm not sure if you're all there in the brain but I think you should gather all the information of a situation before you start saying what people should or shouldn't say because you're just going to sound crazy.
I didnt have a great start in life, bad life as kid and even worse when becoming a teenager. Things never went my way, and all choices i take turns wrong. 30 years later i found this women, strange enough she is 16 years older. However, what we had was true and real and finally i found something happy in my life. Last week we had a conversation and she couldnt handle that i was so much younger, cause when she gets older she thinks i will cheat and find another and she will be all alone. Again, i finally find something i would hold on to my dear life and it slips. Hello alcohol
