3.5 million views. To think, i really wasn't gonna upload this video to youtube because i thought my audience at the time wasn't gonna feel it and the algorithm would not favor it. By far the most popular video I've put out, and ironically also my favorite cover i've done. thank y'all for rocking to this!

The algorithm doing you right my guy

amazing vocals but can we talk about the set up? the quality of this video? the plants? the guitar? him? his style? really nailed it.

He's literally just a dude with a guitar, sitting on a couch, minding his bidness. And sounding absolutely amazing.

That guitar tone is buttery smooth

I showed this song to my ex and we used to listen to it all the time. I found out that he has been cheating on me all this time 🙄 and since then I haven't heard it again untill I discovered this version. Now it's mine again and I'm going to claim it ✨♥️ Salute.

His voice feels like moving your palm over a good matte finished surface. Coarse and yet so smooth.

This guy could sing my dishwasher manual and I’d be fine with that

Thanks, KZfaq!!!!!!!!

I'm obsessed with his tonneee

This mans voice pierces my soul, he’s dangerous.

Don't wanna kill the vibes, but my grandpop passed away 3 days ago and I've been listening to this album on repeat. Then I remembered your cover, it's amazing! and it's crazy because I've listened to your version several times but always end up turning it off before finishing it, but today I finished, and that "rather be with you" bit at the end just really ties everything together. Thanks for making my day a little better :-) I'd love to hear your rendition of "Terrified" from that album!

the aesthetics are just... YES

A Joseph Solomon and Masego collab would be 🔥!

I absolutely love this. It hits me right in the feels in each note, tone and the way you play.

His voice feels like he’s singing close to your hears like a secret and CHILLS 🤤

I feel like I understand the song better sung this way.

Anyone else have a playlist of just Joe’s covers and all of his own songs🙋🏾‍♀️ Always always a vibe!

no one's talking about the mic quality like holy shit it feels so soothing.

To those who wants to sing along: Daylight I wake up feeling like you won't play right I used to know, but now that shit don't feel right It made me put away my pride So long You made a nigga wait for some, so long You make it hard for a boy like that to go wrong I'm wishing I could make this mine, oh If you want it, yeah You can have it, oh, oh, oh If you need it, oooh We can make it, oh If you want it You can have it But stay woke Niggas creepin' They gon' find you Gon' catch you sleepin' (Oooh) Now stay woke Niggas creepin' Now don't you close your eyes Too late You wanna make it right, but now it's too late My peanut butter chocolate cake with Kool-Aid I'm trying not to waste my time If you want it, oh You can have it, you can have it If you need it You better believe in something We can make it If you want it You can have it, aaaaah! But stay woke Niggas creepin' They gon' find you Gon' catch you sleepin' Put your hands up on me Now stay woke Niggas creepin' Now, don't you close your eyes But stay woke Niggas creepin' They gon' find you Gon' catch you sleepin', ooh Now stay woke Niggas creepin' Now, don't you close your eyes Baby get so scandalous, oh How'd it get so scandalous? Oh, oh, baby, you... How'd it get... How'd it get so scandalous? Ooh, we get so scandalous But stay woke But stay woke

The vibes are immaculate

Just one of those voices where the moment you hear it you close your eyes and your shoulders slowly get a life of their own..

Your voice is absolutely beautiful, and I LOVE everything about this cover.

This gives me chills bruh. The Voice, the song, the aesthetic...everything’s matching perfectly and it makes me feel the peace inside of me for the first time in a very long time. Thanks for that 💜

As soon as he sings the lyrics “daylightttt...” *subscribe*

Dude what, you’re so good. Everything about this video is so solid, vocals, guitar, setting, angle. Love it bro

Notice the mic placement so he could sit like he doesn't care because he's cool like that.

Broooo the transition into “bootsy collins - I’d rather be with you” was truly epic! I always listened to these songs in tandem because of the similar beat. Well done 👏👏👏

i know this will be buried in hundreds of comments but i would just like to say, thank you. this made my day :)

If my girl chose to leave me for this guy id understand and wish her goodluck :)

The smile you bring to my face when I listen to your voice is unmatched. Thank you so much for uploading!

Bro please never stop. Everything about your videos from your voice and music style down to the color palettes in the video are SUCH A DAMN VIBE! Never stop!

Bruv... *YOU ARE THE BEST*

This is art. The song was already amazing, but you gave the sound tremendous soul. Blown away dude.

Damn near 2 years later and this joint still slaps. The vocals, the mashup, and the lil guitar solo at the end. So fucking perfect man. 🥹 Also, I can’t believe Redbone didn’t sample Rather Be With You cuz they just fit.

Joe, your voice sounds the whole Soul of 2020/21🔥 We need your sound 👏🏽 Covers on repeat 🔁

I was expecting a chill tune on the guitar and then suddenly the singing started and I was like woaaahhhhhhhh

Music really does feed the soul in ways we could never imagine

Daylight, I wake up feeling like you won't play right I used to know but now, that shit don't feel right It made me put away my pride So long, you made a nigga wait for some, so long You make it hard for a boy like that to go on I'm wishing I could make this mine, oh If you want it, yeah You can have it, oh, oh, oh If you need it, ooh We can make it, oh If you want it You can have it But stay woke Niggas creepin' They gon' find you Gon' catch you sleepin' Ooh, now stay woke Niggas creepin' Now don't you close your eyes Too late You wanna make it right, but now it's too late My peanut butter chocolate cake with Kool-Aid I'm trying not to waste my time If you want it, oh You can have it, you can have it If you need it You better believe in something We can make it If you want it You can have it, aah! But stay woke Niggas creepin' They gon' find you Gon' catch you sleepin' Put your hands up on me Now stay woke Niggas creepin' Now don't you close your eyes But stay woke, ooh Niggas creepin' They gon' find you Gon' catch you sleepin' Ooh, now stay woke Niggas creepin' Now don't you close your eyes How'd it get so scandalous? How'd it get so scandalous? Oh, oh Baby you How'd it get... How'd it get so scandalous? How'd it get so scandalous? But stay woke But stay woke

that guitar tone is out of this world

such fire bro wow

As soon as he started singing, the guitar just melded with his voice, and everything... good vibes

Bruh a whole year later and I still jam this version over all the others out there.. This cover turned me into a fan of this brother.. Keep supporting amazing artist like this 💜🌍

The splice of “I’d rather be with you” at the most fundamental part of the song is genius. You sir are truly one of a kind. Thank you so much for blessing us with your gift. 🤙🏾

I came to hear how he’d deliver “MY PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH KOOLAID” and impressed I am!!! 🤎

I hate that the artists who are mainstream never make full albums like this

Definitely one of our generation's best musician. Keep going on making us travel through your covers, songs and credits.

I WANNA HEAR THIS VOICE ALL DAY EVERY DAY

This whole video looks like the cover art for a "Spotify: Up & Coming"

By far one of my favorite covers. Thanks for this beautiful piece of art. ❤️

I keep coming back to this song so many times because it just makes me feel better. No matter why the day sucked, this is my cure for a shitty day. Thanks Joseph :D

My man, hateful comments may be more pungent to the heart than the good ones, but don't let it get to you man, you're amazing. God bless.

This is just outright incredible

I remember you from college in tyler, i never knew you had a voice like this. If i would have known ,i would have had you singing all the time. Now you're shinning with such a lovely voice.

"if you want it, you can have it"... I needed this, yes make me alive, take me there again and again and again. So beautiful!

Alguém do BRASIL? 🇧🇷 Esse cover ficou simplesmente perfeito.👏👏👏

The switch up to the bootsy collins was...*chef kiss* perfect

Come for the tunes, stay for the BEAUTIFULLY shot footage. I know people who have camera-specific channels who don't have footage this smooth and beautiful. Absolutely phenomenal.

I got goosebumps. Your voice and vibe feels like a warm hug. with the song reminding me of these magical evenings with a person I like, slowly falling in love, somewhere on the beach, exciting, living, breathing, some tension. kudos to you, your cover is perfection.

Do “Get You” by Kali uchis pls

Love his smoky, raspy tone *heart eyes*

What a gift your artistry is to all of us! Thank you for posting and sharing 🙏🏽

WOW!What a voice! Damn!!!!! This is pure talent. These vocals take me to a different place man

I am grateful for KZfaq algorithm. I am so glad I discovered you. You have an amazing voice

the absolute chills i got this, you’re so amazingly talented. this is one of those songs in a movie scene where the main character is running somewhere with a purpose and you just get chills all up and down.

Hi Joseph, I've been listening to this song for three years and I wanted to thank you for the comfort that watching you sing calms me down whenever I need it. I'm Brazilian and I really support your work and I hope you make a success of it because it's what you definitely deserve.💛💚

I searched a while for this song, I heard it over and over as an intro song I absolutely love this song❣❣your voice is blessed

“Stay woke” gets me everytime I know request are rare but if you could do “Baby boy” by Childish Gambino, it would honestly make me so happy, things have been a lil rough but your voice has so much bliss, so tranquil 👑

woaahhh this is groovy as hell. your voice is so soulful and unique 🥺

I have a special feeling for this rendition of the song. I absolutely love it❤

Wow. Just wow. Feel like you’ve single handedly brought back an interest in music that has been lost for me since before I joined the military 7 years ago.

I have alot of respect when i see an artist not only sing great but also play an instrument while doing so.

Bro, the audio quality that went into producing this is incredible, fair play to yah 🔥

His voice is a masterpiece 😍

I always come back this this cover. Simply beautiful.

Haven't looked up any Childish Gambino in a while but KZfaq still recommended this and I'm blessed this is great

Quarantined with COVID and I’m so glad I found your music. Your voice is getting me through it rn

I’ve never even heard the original song and idk if I ever want too because this was incredible. Such a vibe!!!

Really need this on 1hr repeat....I listen to it so much.

Everything is beautiful about this but THE GUITAR- OH MY GOSH, ITS SO BEAUTIFUL!!

just putting this here, to prove that i was here before the 1M

your voice is a god’s gift!! it’s so relaxing, love it 💖✨

perfeição

Why did I think he was sitting in a bathtub this whole time?!

This came on and I just started to cry. Your voice is absolutely soul encompassing. Thank you for sharing it with the world.

That man just *BLESSED* my ears with that damn beautiful voice. Keep going on mate ur vibes are *flawless*

That *daylight* hits like a sledgehammer every time. *I bet I've heard this cover more than the original and I'm not ashamed to say it.* That is straight🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This gives me chills!!!! Congrats on doing such a great adaptation for your voice and style. This is just so amazing and overwhelming im in love and cant stop listening to it

He has grown so much as an artist...the brokenness is producing so much oil...

Your voice moves my heart 😖

It’s Wonderful to see and hear talented people

god this whole video is so dreamy and ethereal

The harmony in his voice just around 1:04 Just incredible

I must listen to this at least once a day since I’ve found it. Mans a unbelievable talent, keep up the great work

Gave me chills!! Such an amazing voice!

Jesus he’s beyond amazing

hearing your music is like expressing my soul and digging deep

The warmth in your voice gives goosebumps 😊

It's perfect! Sounds like a complete new song,this cover is so good!!!
