I thought the same thing because I instantly fell in love with this version of Light. It's the first time I heard the song. But the studio version doesn't speak to me at all after having listened to this. It just seems overloaded to me. For me this has more depth.^^

@ Also found out about him when he released "Home again" as a single. Haven't really listened to that album since then, though; that's a weakness of mine - too much music to discover… Recently heard "Tell Me a Tale" from that album, though, which I really liked then and now. I think "Love & Hate" between the debut and the latest album is worth a mention. Especially like the live session of the title song!

I know in my heart, theres been a child an oracle, to wake the stars. Let them talk about you and I. I know in my heart there's a place better. Its within us all search for more. Whispers are my power we need to listen to ourselves. Search no more life brings you gifts to explore. I know in my heart there's more, I know my soul will never forget. I am there for I see, I see there for I know. Silence is a killer when you don't let your soul speak freely. Trust in your self, trust what you believe, believe what you know. I know love has a place for me. Ps this is me free. Thank you for your song

I went to see his show at Bonnaroo a few years back, and was able to get front row. It was amazing and peaceful to watch him from up close. I met a man wearing a full three piece suit with a cloud/sky pattern with a matching cowboy hat. He was incredibly nice, he shared a joint with me and we talked about what drew us to his music. I never got his name but saw via reddit pages that he had been struck and killed in a car accident returning home from the festival. I like to think of him every time I listen to Michael's music....

The first song I heard of his was Love & Hate, and it was one of those songs that I just want to be enveloped in. I’d put on my headphones, cover my eyes with a scarf, crawl under my blankets and feel like the music was all around me. A form of meditation, I guess. Four years after finding him and countless times listening to his albums, I still do that often. I highly recommend it. His voice is otherworldly. Incredible.

Finally brilliant soulful Kiwanuka in the NPR house👏 👏👏 His live sessions are unmissable.. takes you on a spiritual journey. Outstanding lyrics like.. "U can't steal the things that God has given me.. no more pain, no more shame & misery.. u can't take me down" and smooth voice. All his songs are masterpieces but i have more love for Light, Home Again, Cold Little Heart and Tell Me A Tale.

Listening to this in the hospital. Two weeks here now. Music helps me to keep going on everyday. I wanted to see him live in Mallorca last summer.. I hope I can go someday. Thank Tiny Desk Concert for all the good musicians I discovered here 🌻

I got my headphones, turned the lights low and closed my eyes. Sublime therapy, good for all my senses. Thank you Kiwanuka, you never disappoint.

Enjoyed the opening song he did for "Big Little Lies". Been listening to his songs 1 or two years before that! They should eliminate the thumbs down option completely: as my grandmother said, " If you can't say something nice......."

This video is so important to me. On my last day with my soul dog, I listened to it over and over as I laid with her. I can barely listen to it now because of the emotions, but I listen to it when I can handle it. Thank you Michael

Michael is what I need in these crazy times... his music is bitter-sweet, makes me feel sad, but still wanting more of it. His voice is just therapy.

A tragedy for anyone not to hear this!!!!!!! I love it all but this tiny desk is my favorite way to really hear an artist and get to know them!! Am I the only one who loves to study each artist I love and know about their life... and I love reading the comments here. I sleep with music playing because I know there aren’t enough minutes in a day even if I live to 100 to hear it all. So much talent in the world.. past present and future

I keep thinking I've discovered my favorite Tiny Desk, and then another one comes along and blows me away. Like another commenter, I can't wait to have my system set up again so I can give this a proper play. Everything about this performance is perfection..
