Love the rawness in his voice. Perfection isn't ever best. When people show their humanity and emotion in their songs, that's what's worth listening to...
And I'm alright Standing in the streetlights here Is this meant for me My time on the outside is over We don't know how you're spending All of your days Knowing that love isn't here You see the pictures But you don't know their names no Cause love isn't here And I can't do this by myself All of these problems, they're all in your head And I can't be somebody else You took something perfect And painted it red No sympathy When shouting out is all you know Behind your lies I can see the secrets you don't show We don't know how you're spending All of your days Knowing that love isn't here You see the pictures But you don't know their names no Cause love isn't here And I can't do this by myself All of these problems, they're all in your head And I can't be somebody else You took something perfect And painted it red When, you took something perfect And painted it red You take the best things from Then everything gets empty That's not a world that I need Ooh, you take the best things from me Then everything gets empty That's not a world that I need Oh And I can't do this by myself All of these problems, they're all in your head And I can't be somebody else You took something perfect And painted it red When, you took something perfect And painted it red When, you took something perfect and painted it red You took something perfect And painted it red
I like the way he says, "This is Jeff." -ahahahah I have this album. LOVE THIS GUY - Want more! Waiting for the next album. Hope he presents the same spirit. Well sung @ Daniel.
A great local voice from Melbourne Australia. What a great talent. I remember seeing Daniel in the nightclubs about 7-8 years ago. He's come a long way.
I love this song so much. the amount of time i spend with this song on repeat on my ipod is unbelievable. Thinks Daniel Merriweather should either marry me or come do a personal show for me. :D
You know when you listen to someone such as Bobby Womack it’s about emotion, soul and passion,not comparing just saying it’s the best moments that speak straight my heart ❤ , you take the best things from me then everything gets empty that’s not a world that i need
Biggest fight of my fight with my husband. He didn't care for this song. I however LOVE this song. He passed away 2 years ago. I remember our fight and want him here so bad.
he is a great live performer and it shows true class in performers when they can do it accapello or acoustically live would love to see him do an MTV live acoustic session well worthy of one, he draws you into his songs and can have an audience captivated
Gosh so many memories flashing back listening to this song. Took me out of dark times.
Me too beautiful soul xxxxx love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me too
Love the rawness in his voice. Perfection isn't ever best. When people show their humanity and emotion in their songs, that's what's worth listening to...

Massively underrated.
2020 during covid-19 whos listening

THIS SONG HELPED ME THROUGH A BOUT OF DEPRESSION , THANKS DANIEL THE LYRICS A TRUE INSPERATION

took me 64 years for this song. God bless this boy, thank you
What a voice!!!!!
Damn Daniel
I adore stripped back acoustic versions ... and this does not disappoint!! The intensity is 110% in Dan's perfrmance xxxx
Such a raw, strong voice 😍
He even sounds amazing live. So much power behind his voice!
He is God Damn Gorgeous with an equally God Damn Gorgeous voice ♡
haven´t heard this song for long time. but after listening to this version i´ve fallen in love with it again
What an amazing performance. Always liked the guys music, but this version is amazing.
And I'm alright
Standing in the streetlights here
Is this meant for me
My time on the outside is over
We don't know how you're spending
All of your days
Knowing that love isn't here
You see the pictures
But you don't know their names no
Cause love isn't here
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red
No sympathy
When shouting out is all you know
Behind your lies
I can see the secrets you don't show
We don't know how you're spending
All of your days
Knowing that love isn't here
You see the pictures
But you don't know their names no
Cause love isn't here
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red
When, you took something perfect
And painted it red
You take the best things from
Then everything gets empty
That's not a world that I need
Ooh, you take the best things from me
Then everything gets empty
That's not a world that I need
Oh
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red
When, you took something perfect
And painted it red
When, you took something perfect and painted it red
You took something perfect
And painted it red

Sometimes I hear this song and I just want to cry. There isn't a lot of art that can move a person like that.
powerful performance..both versions from that session were indeed artistic performances..
You know when you listen to someone such as Bobby Womack it’s about emotion, soul and passion,not comparing just saying it’s the best moments that speak straight my heart ❤ , you take the best things from me then everything gets empty that’s not a world that i need
