Everything is a joke to you, isn't it...?

I'd never heard of him 'til the link yesterday (thanks for that) and I've played it a few times. Getting the CD soon, probably today. Nice song. Nice hook.

But it's 5 months old already or so

CD's nice too

It gets a lot of airplay lately,like it!
Didn't know it was released months ago.

I sure wanna hear more of this guy.

I actually saw him live about a month and a half ago. A friend of mine had tickets and he didn't have anyone to go with. He just buys tickets to absolutely everything and just goes to shows.

So he didn't even really know who he was either, and I had no clue whatsoever who I was going to see. Small venue (Melkweg, Amsterdam) and it was packed. We were joking about how it was going to be all women there, and we weren't wrong.

Anyway, it was a good show though, although it's always odd to go see someone when you don't know one single song by them. The whole time the women were just screaming though and basically watching the whole show through their phone cameras and singing along.

He had a great voice though. Reminded me a bit of Terence Trent D'arby actually. the music though was a bit on the Dave Matthews side and at times was just a little too happy/smiley for me. I mean, the band was just grinning the whole time.

He played acoustic guitar pretty well and sounded great. I still wouldn't buy his album though. Not really my thing.

Thanks V

By now he has already sold out a larger venue (Heineken Music Hall).
Glad we got to see it at the smaller Melkweg.

Yesterday we saw The Funk Brothers in Paradiso Amsterdam, which was not as great as a couple of years ago (some Funk Brothers died and some got "divourced" with each other ) But it was still nice to see !!

Hey, I was JUST going to e-mail you about going to The Fratellis show with me on Tuesday. Remember? I'll send you a clip of their music if you don't know who they are. (I know you said you may be busy though)

The song is nice and his voice is not bad, but I don't understand why people compare him to TTD, his voice sounds nothing like him .

It did when I saw him live. It really really did.

I heard an entire concert by him on television and I have seen TTD live about 20 times and there was not the slightest ressamblance.

Serious said:

Well, you had to be there then. I swear, I turned to the person I was at the show with, and we both agreed right away that he sounded like TTD. And so what if he does sound like him? Is that a bad thing to compare his voice to him or something?

I haven't heard anyone else make that comparison. Is it a common one or something? I have no idea.

minneapolisgenius said:

Well I read about that comparison in some reviews of his album and/or live show. No it's not a bad thing, though his voice is so not in the same league as Sananda's IMO. I just think it's not the case at all and neither does my boyfriend who watched the concert with me and is very familiar with Sananda's music as well. I read that Cody Chesnutt sounds like TTD and I don't hear that either, though I love Cody's album and I like his voice. If anyone has a voice similar to TTD it's Ce-Loo (sp?) IMO, though his voice sucks big time live, so he sounds a lot like TTD, but a hundred times worse .

Serious said:

No denying that TTD has a great voice. I just was really impressed with James Morrison's voice at that show. It really was flawless and surprisingly, very soulful.

God I can't believe I'm even defending the guy. I'm not even a fan.

that song "its a wonderful world" or whatever it's called is more sappy than Corrine Bailey Rae's "put your records on"

i used to listen to this when it first was out. the album isnt bad either!

OMG!!!!!

THANK YOU!!! I've been like..in love with this song for the past 2 weeks now, but i just couldn't remember it's title or the singer's name! The strange thing is that i only listened once this song and that's why i couldn't remember the lyrics, just the melody. I've been searching for it like crazy these days but without any success.

once again thank you

You`re welcome

It`s a great song

It's a cute little song..... I like the string- & brass-arrangements in the bridge of it..... The video is cute as well!

I actually just bought the single yesterday on a whim and at the recommendation of a friend and it's great stuff! Hopefully he doesn't turn out to be another James Blunt.
