Guitarists: Sonic Major and Israel
Yes!!!!! Omg!

Yes!🤲🤲
No one talking bout the guitarists and how well they did 😢 they killed it
They really really killed! That’s one of the reasons why I like the song, the beat is on point 😩😩😩😍🥰🥰
They followed her so well and raised/dropped the key in a beautiful way.
Shout out to those guys
@@WinningJiroOjejenu-cu6hd seriously. From a musical perspective it's brilliant.
Give the drummer some lol! Yea they dope!
Yes he did ❤
This is my favorite live performance of all time.
Tems's voice is literally therapy.
Yes!

Facts!
Facts on facts 💯 👏
The algorithm led me to her,but I've heard the song somewhere.
Tems’ voice sounds like everything is going to be okay.
Couldn’t have said it better!!!! ☀️🥰🌈
Check out my piano cover on this 🔥
Definitely
Her voice sounds how angels would s sound
Clearly 😏😏😏😏
Her voice kissed my cheek and gave me the warmest embrace
@hunter111 yes!
Still come here regularly… somebody top this 🤷🏾♂️
literally once a week since it came out. feels good forreal
The tone in Tems voice has a healing vibration to it, spiritually on a different plane.
Give thanks Tems
I really think so .. the fact that you can hear a voice and instantly start tearing up I think it’s god given that not a lot of ppl can feel definitely a different vibration
couldn’t have set it better🙌🏽
Most definitely 👏🏾
This facts fr
Can any music heads give me her voice frequency? I'm getting 432 vybz
She has the world in her voice. Adele, Rihanna, Lauryn, SZA, Nigeria, Jamaica, America...
Best comment so far 🤫
Love this comment
Those are who she look up to, luaryn hill , Sza biggest one plus Adele
@@dammybello7415 I remember she said so .on other video
No just Nigeria she is Nigerian and amazing at that.
When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - Heart Of A City Boy” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💝
quanto mais você viver, mais perceberá...que a realidade é apenas feita de dor sofrimento e vazio, ouça... neste mundo, onde quer que exista luz, também existem sombras. enquanto o conceito de "vencedor" existir...também haverá o de "perdedor", o próprio egoísmo de se querer manter a paz, causa guerras. e assim...o ódio nasce pra proteger o amor.é uma relação de coexistência que não pode ser evitada...por meios naturais
keep winning
@@jahsehonfroy7508Que abordagem diferente!!! Lúcidas palavras.... Mtos parabéns 🤌🏾
❤❤❤❤❤
I hope things are running smoothly for you, we are in it together. Live is a crazy journey
The reality is, 20 years from now people will still be sampling this and still getting emotional when they hear it. Everything else connected this is popular, but this is magic!

Defo! Precisely because of its Originality, a lot of music today is already sampled
That “I will wait for you” hits every time.
That stand for you go hard too
Was waiting on this comment
The whole song goes hard compared The original is better than wait for you by future in my opinion
Damn forreal I wish she did that and the world was ending part more
@@djpainkiller3326 good thing no one asked you your opinion.
This woman is a complete package. Will love to see you on Tiny Desk.
That's the truth!
yesss
Yessssss . Me too
I agree with you!!!
Facts
That chorus “if the world was ending…,” is one of the sweetest melodies in music history.
Jesus loves you 💓
Jesus loves you guys 💓
Jesus can save you, and save your family 💓
believe in Him, trust in His love 💓
He never leaves you 💓
She literally sounds just like her tracks, if not better!!! 🤯

I agree 🥰
Looks too... she a whole package !!!
She sounds way better live!
She sounds wayyyy better live
This version can bring a person to tears.
Literally me right now 🥹
Especially if you lost someone
Only version I listen to

Her PRESENCE and AURA is astounding. GIGANTIC spirit. A genuine soul that you feel in the music and interviews.
She’s a voice from the motherland that’s why it hits every time!
lmao the shade to black people who aren’t from the motherland 😹 African music is the best 🇳🇬
@@neeeeeaae4736 mugu u dey follow hispanic person dey laugh at other black people issokay
Chills
She sounds like Tracy Chapmen
Speaking English. Lol. Ok
Everything about this woman is beauty.
Everything about your comment is Air Conditioning.
She’s perfect 😭😭
GOREEEJUUUUSSS‼️
Word up
@@beatrizcruz5855 I swear
Tems is the only person that can get Drake, Jcole and Kendrick on a performance it would be divine
Waiting for someone is such a sweet sentimental and romantic, yet sad concept. It reminds me of The Notebook how Noah waited for Allie until she was ready. It’s something that is so painful yet so beautiful that someone could have so much love for someone else that they’re willing to patiently wait because they know they’re meant to be
😢❤
I will wait him
Feel ashamed that it took a sample to get me here, but i'm grateful to have made it 💯
That’s exactly what she needed tho I have no business listening to this but here I am lol . She’s stamped now
@@nizzyg4629 yo, that’s on God 😭 lmao
What song used this as a sample?
@@brandonmathews8291 future x wait for you
How didn't you know Essence
Her voice is actually the back bone and essence of WizKid's essence song.
Exactly 🙌🏾🔥🔥 she carried the whole song a 👸🏾
Facts 💯
Say it louder for the folks on the back‼️
It's funny becus alot of people don't actually know that til they watch the video .... Her voice ..it's just ..no words... The earthiness of it almost makes her sound like a man ..it's so gorgeous .... Tem's
... blessings.
I thought it was her song lmao
I don’t care how many times I listen…. I bawl! She is incredible!
It’s how I’ve played this more than 10 times today. And it’s not even my first time hearing it🤧
Forget the lyrics. Imagine you didn't speak English, just listen to the sound. Then you will get it. It's a spiritual awakening sound. It's Soul calling for compassion, giving love, showing care. With that goes the feeling of regret and inadequacy because, deep down, we need to do more to make this life easier, better, happier for ourselves and the next person. Tems is a spiritual person who doesn't need to sing gospel songs but gets to uplift people's consciousness by just making sounds from the depths of her being. I hope she gets to read this.
spot on!
I disagree. The only reason you like this so much is because it's a live performance with the tempo slowed down, if she performed her other songs this way I'm sure you'd have a hard time picking the best one
@@o.t9358 Music, like any work of art, is valued from an individual, subjective pov.
This my first time I caught chills thts crazyyy asf
@@tosinkingjames9892 bruh if she hadn't done this live performance of this particular song would you say this was her best song?
Tems has such an amazing voice.
Holi a todos ✋❤️
😻😻😻
Yes she does ❤
Poweful
That part 'all I can hear is silence' gave me goosebumps
One of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.
I lost my 5 month old this week and we listened to this every time we went somewhere, she was extremely talkative whenever I would play this song. I’ve been so lost these past couple of days but tems voice is helping me feel a bit better.💔
🙏
So sorry for your loss.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Sorry for your loss. Know that everything will be fine. ❤️
Big hugs.
So sorry for your loss ❤️
it’s the whole song for me but when she said “ If the world was ending would you cry or would you try to get me ? “ I felt that on a different level 🥺❤️
yes
That hits hard. I love this song 💘
Amen
YES,AMEN
Hit the feels every trip !!!
54 days since 2024 started thank you Tems for gracing us with Higher ❤❤
This is REAL MUSIC AND A REAL VOICE! Thank you, young lady!
Everything REAL 🥺❤️ truly gifted with this masterpiece 💯
“If the world was ending, would you cry or would you try to get me?”
gets me every time
😩
💘
This is what life is supposed to be about, but we allow the small things to win everytime and as a result you have unhappy people...
I had no idea that's what she was saying. Thank you.
Man
Her voice is a gift from god, and the lyrics cut so so deep . This song is a masterpiece
F A C T S
Facts.💯
You Knew That Already
È proprio vero
God* but yes she really is a masterpiece
I sat in the shower and listened intently, then the spirits came over me and brought me to tears. Blessings
I still cry when I hear this version.. 😢
hug from🇦🇴🇦🇴
She sings like she IS Mother Earth 🎶🎶
Cause she is. In human form.
She might be
Because she is!!! 😂
This 🔥🎯
Because she’s from the Mother Land 🇳🇬🌍🇿🇦
It’s how she sings without stress her voice 🥺😍 you can tell it’s natural damnnn🥺🇳🇬
💣💣💣
I played this for my young granddaughter (18) and she LOVED it!!! She is now a big Tems fan, like me and I am 67😎
Love this song; escaping from all of the mischief and negativity of that falls on this earth, to a higher vibration
Her voice is balanced in masculine & feminine energy that’s why she’s one of a kind
Yeah that's pretty rare in singers
Yessss. For the longest time I thought Tems was a male artist. Just off the voice alone.
I don’t see anything masculine in her voice it’s very feminine to me.
@@itsyourscenttv.7040 yeah me either.. don’t know what the hell they talking about lol
I mean I understand you point. To me, i can feel her heart when she sings. More like deep within. Not so much masculine. She sings with direction! Clarity! You can hear her message!
Sitting in my car at 2am just listening to this on repeat thinking about everything going on in life this song is a real vibe 💯 touches the soul idk it’s hard to explain..
Listen to Free Mind plz !!!! Tems❤️
You EXPLAINED it. ❣
swear just be sitting listening to this in a trance just meditating
@@SF-sl7fi
Definitely just cried off this and this my first time listening to it.
I keep restarting this performance. I can't stop. She's unreal.
This is medicine for the broken soul and thoe who have sufferd from mental illness beautiful 😍😍😍😍

She gave this song exactly what I needs, no over singing, just perfect.. her voice gives those “everything will b ok soon” vibes🙏🏽

Amen 🙏🏽
AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I have a toddler and an infant. They were both having a meltdown and I played this on the TV. Both calmed down and just stared in awe watching her sing
Wow
That's so special fr
Thanks for sharing, I am going to try it at home with my infant :D
So gooood God Bless you and your family for posting that for us all 😌
@@MrMindy15 much appreciated!
I’ve listen to this close to 1k times and I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. Hits me deep as I can relate
Mee too . me and you acoustic is dope too love and Mr rebel. And ice tea is so beautiful..try me goes hard loukolouko is hard I feel like we hearing part of God's Promis in her sound. Like she speaks the Word when she sings.❤❤❤
This will never get old. Tems voice is beautiful...
This live version sounds better than the original
I agree! So much soul and passion, and the guitar kicks it up several notches. So beautiful
❤️🔥❤️🔥
Yes because I never understood the hype of tems until I found this gem 💎 😭😭😭now I feel stupid and I love this sm
Agreed
Said the same both are tuff but live should have been on the album lol
10+ months after, no one ever thought Future would sample this song and put Tems on his album. FuturexTemsxDrake 🔥 🔥 🔥
Kodak kind of sampled this too on Love and War, without her vocals though
Tems carried it
That song was bad tho
She already made a Drake album so Futute is pretty meh. Im js
@@hectorrico7267 wait for u was drake song a clb throwaway
This song soothes the soul! Blessings 😊
This song stands alone period! Doesnt need any watering down.
Drake & Future did a smart move in adding this beautiful, angelic voice into their track "Wait For You". Please, please give this woman her respect, time for radio play & main stream albums
This song(Higher) was actually released in 2020 in her debut EP "for broken ears". If you love this song, Wait until you listen to the whole EP....oh and after that listen to her second EP too "If orange was a place". Prepared to be mind blown!!
@@bigh9027 I appreciate that, I'll most definitely check that out. Thank you & God bless
@@gerardolara4477 God bless you too my friend. I Just find joy in seeing new people discovering Tems. I feel like she's what the whole world has been missing, and everyone needs to hear her
@@bigh9027 I completely agree, music is beautiful, it's so precious & life changing.
She got her respect a fat check
Her voice is like a painting.
What a wonderful way to describe her music. I love it.
It draws you in😌
So calm and soothing🤗
😌🧘🏾♀️✨

I totally agree 👍🏾💯💯
Tems is so freaking magical and ethereal. She is so beautiful and fairy-like. This world does not deserve this angel.
1:57 -2:20 best part of the song bruh I feel like crying relaxing closing my eyes at the same time make me wanna fly and run away from all these problems❤️❤️🔥🔥
Said as I was thinking.....
Thank you Nigeria 🇳🇬 for this Gem 💎 we'll treasure her. 😭🙌
From me and my fellow South Africans.
👑
south african will always tell you their south african why?😂
She’s amazing.
@@grounds585 Thats a really dumb question ,its bottom less unlike your name
@@grounds585 same with Nigerians and Ghanaians tho😭🤣
i cannot wrap my head around this unbelievable performance, she is a master storyteller. i am so moved, god has blessed my ears todayyyy. tears come to my eyes watching her beauty and power.
Go listen to the original. She's a genius.
I couldn’t have said it better
I feel the same, tears
OMG I thought I was the only person brought to tears by her presence
I'm back again in tears today. Your a great artist
Bro I damn near cried! Her voice greased me gracefully
If it wasn’t for future I wouldn’t have known I needed this masterpiece
I forgot . Future put Andre 3000 on that beat n rap.Time is now.
Poetry
If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have known that I needed the incandescent light.
Imagine finding out Tems through future yikes
@@aleyna671 it’s very sad but…. Future brought me here too. And I’m very grateful
She not just singing this song, she's really waiting for somebody. This is a true story from her life. Her singing is so real.
you feel it too
God it’s god
Yeah…. This Is how I fee waiting for her, will try my best to comfort,protect and understand her but she not ready for what I have to give, damn! A Black man’s Love is tragic, but if she is worth it,she’s worth it!
@@orionpax85 she want a Latino my guy, sorry.
It's sad af. This is sad as hell. Domestic violence.
She did not miss a single note 😮 her voice is truly amazing
She always make me cry with this version! I always come back. 😢
This song is like a breeze in the scorching heat, like your lover washing your hair, like cradling your newborn, like tasting your favourite food after a fast, like soaking in moonlight on a warm summer night dreaming and finding peace..
Great description ❤️
I visioned and felt every word of your description 🥰
@@bryariiDaGoddesz I totally agree and felt. 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
OMG!! All of this💕💕💕
she sounds like a woman who knows pain , Sacrifice, and Love
❤️ ✨⭐️…..Her voice is such a light in this world
Gods love all over this
This song is unreal.. By far the greatest display of poetry and music I’ve ever heard
I’m
Ohh,yes?
In the moment *
Can't believe it but this song made me cry
Yes!!
Her accent reminds me of listening to Fela Kuti with my father, but her voice holds more love and pain than Fela could ever show. Such an amazing artist.
Dang man this is dope. Her voice and singing style are beautiful!
I love her laid back approach to singing. No over singing, she does with the song only what it needs.
u jerckin her chicken ngl
I was thinking the same🔥
💯🎯..
I never get tired of returning back to this. Her voice gives so much reassurance for hope in the world. Like this comment if you can relate.
Right she on the playlist actually she no1 on the list
Literally same.🤗 I listen to this version at least twice a day.😅 I'm obsessed.✨️
I feel exactly the same ✌️
I can relate
Her voice is different and beautiful, but out of curiosity, how does it "give so much reassurance for hope in the world"?

I love this song so much. It is so spiritual and beautiful 👏🏽👏🏽✝️✝️
So poetic... This 'poetry' should be taught in schools 😊
I have to see her in person. She’s a work of art.
I can take you where she lives

I hope he's in a much better place now ❤️
God bless you and your family
My deepest condolences. Peace be w you
Love to you and your daughter, i couldnt imagine what youve been through, you are so strong.
The guitarists made her voice and lyrics connect sooo heavenly ... don't forget them.
Right
Her voice scratches the very deepest itch on the soul. I was not prepared for this...and I'm still not every time I play it. But it hurts so good.
This is 🔥 Tems is one of the most unique artists to ever exist on earth! This version of this song just hits different ❤
