Lyrics
Turn Down The Light
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close
Don't patronise
Don't patronise
'Cause i can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something that it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And i feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause i can't make you love me if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then i won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Mornin' will come and i'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And i will give up this fight
'Cause i can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something that it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart
And i feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause i can't make you love me if you don't - Hudba
For me personally this is the best male vocal performance ever made. Pure Magic.
I was very lucky to see him live. The purest voice ever ❤
@@lindawalker8312 putz!!!! Que inveja !!!! ❤
The world was better when George was in it 😢
used to live very near to him in highgate. the small park area in front of his house was filled with flowers, the day he passed. and it stayed that was for probably two years afterwards, new people bringing new flowers and taking care of the old ones every single hour of the day
@@rpbmpnI lived not to far away but until he passed had no idea wot he had done for the world in secret. A beautiful soul more people need to be like George rip
I agree 100000000%
Listening to this now is almost surreal. Because, nowadays you just don't hear songs like this or voices like this. And especially those put together.
This performance is magic. ❤❤
This was the last time George’s beloved mother saw him perform. He never sang better and no one has ever sang this song better. It’s absolute perfection. I’m a metal and rock guy… and even I think George Michael is the greatest male singer to ever sing a song. Simply brilliant. Much missed.
Same here brother. His voice is absolute perfection.
Yes I agree so much with these sentiments. His voice is like a bell. No matter how how fondly he is remembered I still think he was underrated as a singer. Literally one of the best of all time.
I'm sorry, no matter how much I love this rendition, the Bonnie Raitt original will for me always be the standard other artists will be measured against. This rendition comes close, very close to matching it.
@@roykliffen9674 imagine if the writers had given it to Bette Midler or Linda Rondstadt as they had envisioned… ugh
@@GrimmmReaperz Bette Midler ... meh.
Linda Ronstadt however is a very underrated singer, though I doubt she could give it the same depth bonnie Raitt did
If you listening to this in 2024, you're LEGEND!
So are you!😘
I definitely am!xxx
2024. I am still listening to Georgia. Am I legend.
Right back at you !
@@gilbertsoupras5669
Right back at you? What
do you mean. Are you being funny (ha,ha) or rude.? We all love George
for his music and will be listening till end of time
There is no doubt that George Michael was one of the best vocalists that ever lived.
For me, the best. Nobody else come close, male or female.
Two ARTISTS that do it for me, one I found on CZcams over 5yrs ago, her name, the magical voice of MORISSETTE AMON LAMAR from the Philippines and one guy who has always been magical to the music world, the brilliant and sadly missed GEORGE MICHAEL, your music lives on 🇬🇧🔥👌❤️.
George and Luther vandross my absolute favourite
@@amriaye7593 you should take a listen to MORISSETTE AMON LAMAR mate she's absolutely brilliant, she's like so easy on the ears with a personality to die for, for a Filipino her English enunciation in her songs is perfection, the only problem is she is an independent artist who won't submit to the big corporate music industry in fear of not being allowed to be herself which unfortunately is not based on talent anymore but rather image based, she's an old school singer despite only being 27yrs old, she mesmerises an audience with her whole persona, personality, charisma with a voice that no one can even come close to 🇬🇧🔥👌❤️.
@@amriaye7593Perfect, Luther Vandross, such a magical voice. Another all time favourite of mine is Jeff Buckley.
Voice of an angel, no one comes close.
Miss you George x
I don't think people realized just how talented this guy was while he was still with us. Legend.
We knew....after this MTV Unplugged it was crystal clear...
@@bj5121 I knew from the 80s
People who knew him from wham already knew his talent
oh his spirit is
We were all aware.
World is empty without george
The world is better place because of him. We all go, at some point. He blessed us all. Enjoy it ❤
He has (had) the most beautiful male voice in the world in my opinion. Hands down.
Georgie boy put the Lulla in bye , that voice , that sentiment, that look , that money , , , all forsaken for a gents public toilet , , riches it seems don't redeem, , , , he still makes me remember with love 🥰🥰❤
😪
You are so wright. His voice is outstanding. For me, the best, I have ever heard. I miss him so much.❤
Freddie Mercury and George Michael top the Mens field
Totally agree
Saying goodbye to someone who you'd easily spend the rest of your life with is the hardest thing to do, but you can't make someone love you.
Agreed 💯
God I miss have George on this planet. 💔
This song helped me walk away from someone I thought I loved but they didn’t love me. You can’t make them love you if they don’t. ✌️❤️ Thank you Bonnie R.
Someone will love you like supposed to be loved! ❤
❤
Yes - I loved my best friend and I had to walk away - it destroys your soul and never heals.......
The first time I heard this version was an early morning in summer 2017. My ex-husband and I went down to the hotel's breakfast room. We were the first to arrive and exactly as we stepped in, the music started and it was exactly this song. The message I felt was that, after 40 years, it was time to part ways. It's now almost seven years ago that we finally broke up and extra sad because we didn't even argue. We still call each other every week but definitely don't feel like we're going to be a couple again.
This performance proves beyond doubt why George Michael was and remains one of the world’s truly great singers. The way he conveys the profoundly painful emotions in this song is utterly captivating and spell-binding. Simply magical. R.I.P. George. Thank you for your incredible artistry.
😢
😭
Incredible singer. Just perfect, perfect. ❤
Such a sad sad loss a true legend, such emotion from George in this track, he's music will always live on by so many, me being one of them rip George💔🙏
Indeed utterly captivating, still gives me shivers
We need you.. you left us to face this world alone
George Michaels version is sublime. ❤💚🖤💛😎🎶🎵💃☘️🦩🦄
His mum was in the audience for this performance and died 3 weeks later from cancer. God bless you George God bless you darling xxx Declan
I will always love him. Forever.❣❣❣
How proud she must have been and now they are together! He is proof that ANGELS WALK THE EARTH…before GOD calls them home…
I am 54 & I don't think I will hear anything like him in my lifetime all through decades what an absolute voice
I couldn't have put it better, one in a million and gone too soon
Hi Maureen, how are you doing?
It still feels like he just died yesterday ...
Hi Maureen. Nothing compares to George but we have someone quite close in New Zealand called Teeks. He does a beautiful cover of this classic which you may like.
Well said
I would love to confirm this version is the best ever . George was unfulfilled and this song proves how good he was 👍
Yes I agree it's absolutely the best ❣
Omg , his voice is simply Amazing...im balling my eyes at because of the words , and because of how beautiful his voice was.
Me too 😢 just beautiful
Me to 😭
vocal control is ...utterly amazing
yes, this is as good it gets. i've seen many great singers mess it up in live shows
Tommy Holmes his mom mustve been so very proud in the audience
Not only was George a very talented artist, he was a humble and compassionate man, often contributing anonymously to to various charitable causes... despite his personal battles, ( we all have them) he still leaves a fabulous legacy
🙏🌺❤️
Yes he was some kind of wonderful ❤
Charity, he was so kind, he gave and gave to charity, this is lovely, so lovely
I totally agree with you
Lovely, compassionate man.
Gave to charity without bragging.RIP.
British media destroyed that man..media are scum
Just listening to this song and my heart breaks…💔
Saw George in Manchester, he was on his own with no other support on stage and he sang for 2 hours some of the most moving songs in his repertoire, he captivated us that night like he still does every time we hear him, a true iconic legend.
Wow!!!
Me and my wife were there too, 2012 I believe, and started as a silhouette behind the curtain ❤🙏
I'm 52 years old and grew up with his music I will never get my head around him passing away absolutely heartbreaking
Drug use and a broken 💔
You and me both Jediknight1209. totally heartbreaking 💔😢
I'm 52 as well and understand everything you stated. Just be grateful that this voice and sound is apart of your/mine life soundtrack. 💯
i am 77 yearss old what a talent rip sir sad lose
I was gutted like so many other people. He died peacefully in his sleep, with no pain. The pain left us completely broken
Who misses this absolute legend
Yes every year.
me 😭
Absolutely amazing artist
So much.
Me.
Makes me weep every time! What a voice, what a legend! Miss you Georgie! My first gay hairdresser in San Francisco introduced me to George back in the late 70s. Then the AIDS epidemic hit and the gay population really suffered in SF. We all worked to raise money for some of the first hospices for gay men. It was a tough time. Thank god we are through that. Bless you George for coming out. Your voice is one of a kind. So much love. ❤️ ❤❤
Sounds like your favorite song. Huh?
One of those songs that just encapsulates everything about the emotions you have when you’re deeply in love with someone you know you’ll never have completely emotionally or physically for whatever reason that just breaks your heart.
George was one of those people you knew had felt love and his musicality and vocals second to none!
Wonderful musicians too supporting him!
Let’s never forget them and their amazing performances too.
We have lost so many wonderful people who gave us so much fantastic music. Bless them all and I hope young people will continue listening to the songs they left us so they’re never forgotten. ❤️
That voice!!! He felt every word he sang!!! My God he is missed. Pure talent.
Hi 👋, how are you doing today?
You can touch the emotion, you can feel the hurt in his voice.
What a talent so miss that great voice.
So true 💔
I miss Mr. Michael RIP. Perfect pitch musician, Bradley Nowell RIP, Whitney Houston RIP, Beth Moore too, how is it humanly possible?
Me too. So sad he´s gone.
❤
It seems like he was searching for happiness his entire life. He found real love and his partner died of cancer. I believe we lost part of George then. On Christmas Eve he pulled back the curtain to see the carollers pass his home. He died that night. He had the most beautiful voice and had an honest sincerity about preforming for his fans! He was a gorgeous man!❤
This is just so beautiful. Kinda cuts right through in the best possible way. This guy was truly deeply sensitive. We’re so lucky to have this body of his work to enjoy here on YT. RIP George. You are greatly missed but still greatly loved and appreciated.
I have always called him Sir George Michael....An absolute musical genius,Ladies & Gentlemen
this is definitely the saddest and yet the most beautiful song i've ever heard
Listen to Serenade for Winds by Mozart. Youre welcome :)
Lord, I'm missing my boy. Love GM
What a beautiful and crystal clear voice! One of the best singing voices of the past decades. And everything so emotional and pitch perfect! We all miss George, a man with a golden heart and voice, who passed away too early...
Closest today is Zayn Malik if he could just get his s**t together, stop being confused focus on the songs n emotion play the music industry game where required and just fu****g sing out with that voice..then you win as George did
SEND THIS. SEND THIS. To the World. This Is the song the World needs to listen to a thousand times to understand what love means
This is just sublime. Really is. Dude is criminally underatted. And a amazing person too by all accounts.
There is no one else I have heard that can sing a love song like this man,he is absolutely amazing and brings all those feeling that we have all experienced flooding right back.Truly a extremely talented hurtled in love man.
Top Jockey Agreed 100%😉
What's "... hurtled in love man"?
You some kind of mook ?
*Best male voice, everlasting 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖*
Isn't Geroge's voice incredible?
Something you don't hear anymore, singing live perfectly
Adele 's cover, at Royal Albert Hall
I wonder if George had even a small clue of how brilliant he is.
He is perfection, he’s everything
2022 🕊🥀
OMG he's just perfect. Amazing soul , I love him so much. Right now I'm in tears , the soundtrack is superb 👌
He's angelic.
One of best of all time not many people hit you in the soul
What saddens me Robyn is that this precious man passed thinking that we, his loving family, would think anything less of him with the change in his appearance. I hope he's looking down and reading all our comments, miss and love you so much Yog
It's like we only lost him yesterday...........his music still lives on in our heats. His soothing voice speaks volumes. May he continue to appease the Lord with his music in Heaven.❤️💋💞🌹
His voice aged like a very fine wine.. dancing gracefully thru a woman's heart ❤️ this woman misses that tender voice
An absolute vocal masterclass by a master vocalist.
Listening in 2022 on the sad anniversary of his passing. Those of us 80s children love you George Michael!
Not just 80s children! But most music lovers!
and kid from the 00s
Hi Patricia, how are you doing?
He's we do...best era ever
* yes
I'm sure Bonnie Raitt is in awe. George absolutely nailed this song.
Bonnie showed him how to sing it,, he missed, tho not bad
This was flawless
@@jaymccuin4665 I've read that she was very impressed with his version and it "struck her deeply".
@@johnwright2911 I bet she did love it, I just think her version is better, by far.
@@jaymccuin4665 it's absolutely isn't.
Was such a talented man. That smooth and pure voice, soo relaxing.
My goodness, this man had one of the most amazing and beautiful voices ever. What a god given talent. My goodness……takes my breath away…..
Man what a powerful performance
RIP
zack jones I know....Dreadful Christmas day😢😢😢
One of the greatest love songs ever written, sung by one of the greatest voices ever. Legend.
Totally agree!
@Alexander González We know it’s covered 😊
This is a cover, a great version nonetheless.
Sometimes, rarely an original song can be interpretated so much better, than the original. It is rare, as 99% of covered versions destroy the original.
I don’t think he was necessarily saying that George Michael wrote it. He only said it was one of the best love songs ever written and that Mr Michael sung it well, basically.
I want george michael back 😢
Singing live and so perfect. Not many can do that. There’ll never be another like him
Songwriter, producer. Singer. He put his life and soul into his music. And he wanted it perfect. For us. His audience. This song (his cover take) exemplifies it. It’s beautiful. And he touches your soul with his voice. Massive love to him ❤
what a lovely comment
George Michael was such a soft hearted man , so gentle to talk to , and had impeccable manners. Miss him and hope he is blissfully happy wherever he is.
he really did and someone should have been looking out for him
He did justice to the song, he immortalized the song.
Great interpretation of this Bonnie Raitt classic. It still bothers me a lot that this lovely man died, depressed and alone. Sad he couldn’t get the help he needed. One of the great voices of a generation.
I grew up with George in the 80s. At that time, it was just fun music and did not think too much about it. Now that I hear what is out on the radio these days, I realize I was blessed to grow up in that generation. I only wish the new generation can hear and feel the music artist like George Michael produced back then.
Same here, Very lucky to grow up in the 80s with the greats. It makes me realize how great they really are when I look around and listen to the crap that is out there in 2021. It makes me sad, it makes me melancholy and nostalgic. I love George, went to two concerts an even met him once. What a thrill!!! These artist worked at their craft tirelessly. Today they use a keyboard and producer record the live streams. There is no talent needed today, sad!!
You wrote that absolutely right mate!! I feel the same way. His voice could melt northpole and hearts!!
So true! We had the best music in the 70s and 80s. Best cars, best clothes. Best everything!
@@jnoyes8180 70s? Lol you young'un's weren't even around in the 70s if you kids grew up in the 80s wtf???
@@michaelcrawford5083 I was. I was born in the 60’s.
He was so talented. Poor man was haunted by losses in his life. So sad. Such a loss to the music world. Hope he's at peace now.
The losses in his life is why we have his Beautiful music, from the heart......He was great!!!!
@@barbaracampbell3887 True sadly, love how he put his emotion and pain to heal and heal others in the same time! 🌿💜🙏🏽
Right, the losses of his partner and mother put him in darkness for a long time until his death.
He is dead...he is nowhere.
Hi Clare, how are you doing
The most beautiful song sung by the most beautiful man ❤, miss you George 💔xx
A friend of mine loved George, sadly he is no longer here. Battled cancer. Enjoy your friends and the moments spent together. One day its just memories. RIP my mate.❤
Just wanted to point out that this is live. All the more impressive.
and no autotune
Hard to believe its 6 yrs since we lost this talented man , what a voice what a performer sadly missed RIP George .
😢
Absolutely and why do the good ones always die so long. Can’t believe it has been 6 long years. Time going fast again
He Left us Great Memories. 🏂
I've been listening to a lot of Tony Bennet since he passed as well as interviews of him and his colleagues (thanks Sirius XM) anyway it's put a lot of things in perspective and I really feel that George was that caliber of artist for our generation. Nobody did it bigger and nobody did it better. Sure there were the Michael Jacksons and the big shows, but George was the entire show and hearing his voice was pure magic. I can only imagine what the live shows would have been like, I was just a kid. Going back and watching some of them now and there's just this presence you can't capture. I wish we got another 50 years to enjoy like we did with Tony. Gone too soon, but forever in our hearts.
This makes me cry 😢 😭 miss you George x
This is the best version of this song, what a voice. I love this song. What a year, Prince and now George. :( :(
agree sarah, just beautiful :(
And let us not forget Michael Jackson who passed a few years ago, all these singers were great...
sarah c Nope...nothing beats the original (Bonnie Raitt)
I already know you guys don't agree with me but imo James Arthur's version is million times better. His voice too
George Michael has an emotional, deep and soulful approach. Prince's approach is genius.. If we see how He unroll the song, the song goes through different phases, the choir is going each more dissonant and intense.
Prince's version worth by the whole: voice, arrangements, production, interpretation of the instruments
George Michael version worth by his beautiful voice. everything else is practically the same throughout the song. No changes.
This is how to sing live.One of the few to sounds better than any studio album.
Years after his death he is finally getting the love and adoration he deserves.
Yes❤
George Michael is an immortal soul and will live on forever thanks to the Internet.. RIP 🪦
Just returned to this after seeing George on the BBC. Absolutely incredibly talented and very sadly missed.
Bonnie Raitts version makes you emotional, but this one gives you goosebumps his voice hits the perfect tone and timing. Live as well, what a writer and performer this guy was.
I hope youve heard Prince's version. Imo the best one.
lol def the best @@MikeBruski
George had a beautiful voice. He should have sung this in Bflat - same as Bonnie. He really could have done it.
Bonnies version with Hornsby is 1000x better than this.
This is utter trash.
@penknight - you obviously don’t know anything about music if you think this is trash. George’s voice is sublime and this version can’t be beaten.
"morning will come, and I'll do what's right..."
This version is the Best music in the world! Miss you G.M. Rip 💔🥹
2024 and I'm here crying because of George 😢

We ALL loved you George,we still do.We can't forget you.Miss you TERRIBLY.
Still can´t believe he is gone...i saw him live twice...such a talented God
I never get bored of listening to this song by George Michael. Just Perfection
Perfection he is RIP xxxx
I'm sure you know that it's a Bonnie Raitt song? George's version is awesome, but Bonnie's hits it out of the ball park for me 🌹 Either way, great song! 💖
Please tell me I’m not the only one who randomly cries thinking of the life and talent of George Michael. 💔💗😢

You are
OMG CAN I GET 0 SUBS WITH 3 PLAYLISTS skrr no I’m not but you’re obviously a lonely loser who needed attention so badly so here you go. Enjoy 😌
I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried when I found out that George Michael had passed away! He had such an emotive singing voice like the U.S. singer Steve ''The Voice'' Perry does! 💗
What a gift this man bestowed on this world. We are not worthy.
Easily one of the greatest ever live performances this earth has seen! His talents and person will be missed for a eternity
Too much pain, torn between two worlds and never really in either. His musical contribution was huge and his legacy treasured. Fly high, fly free George, we'll always love you.
Hello, how are you doing?
@@jonahgerfin4409 Doin just fine. Strange coincidence that I should receive a message when I am writing a song about this very subject.
I sang this song to my ex from 20 years ago we are the best of friends and we both cryed time changes nothing
U
Hi Julie, how are you doing
Probably one of the best cover songs especially live. What a voice he had. ❤
David Cook also covered this song and it may be even better than this one!
Sang it better than anybody else. One of the greatest musician ever ...
The best version i ever herd of this son is sung by Teddy swims here on tube
@@paulmears6636 Had to listen to Teddy's cover. You are right! I thought no one could sing a song better than Mr Michael's but.. hey, Teddy's voice is in the big leagues! They have both their signature, both their 'felt' but on this one, Teddy Swims reaches me more! Even though George is my absolute favorite normally.
A legend that gave me strength ❤ 5:26
I have goosebumps listening to this. Very talented he was.
I wish he was alive today
July 4, 2020
There’s a pandemic going on.
Just came back to hear this again, anyone else here?
Me....for some reason I miss him so much

I do, 11 agust 2020.. Just for feel some peace ..

I used to come here almost everyday until I left my ex three months ago. He would watch as I cried listening to this song on my headphones, not knowing the tears were over him. I had to give up the fight.
August 15th, 2020
His voice control in this song is just amazing.
No one like him - ever. Stunning singer. Rips your heart out.❤
He said this was one of his best nights. His breathing was good and everything went perfectly and it was the last time his mother saw him perform.
Perfect voice thank you george michael ❤️🩷🙏
His phrasing is incredible. A masterclass for singers.
And to think his father once told him he wasn’t that great of a singer…😳🤦🏾♀️
It's been almost eight years and listening to George in 2024 makes me nearly as sad as it did in 2016 when he left us
--so sad he's gone
George was an angel sent down from heaven to teach us mortals what music is ❤
RIP George. Thanks for the music - in my heart to treasure always.
George Micheal faith
Anne Galloway Same feelings here!RIP GEORGE MICHAEL.😭
Hi Anne
Hi Anne, how are you doing?
George sang this with everything he had. This unplugged concert was the very best and probably up there with his best vocal performance. A true aspiring perfectionist of his work, delivered with 'heart and soul' in every way. RIP George
Totally agree ,you can feel something,,well I've never felt this way ,hearing this 1 ,wow chills n heartache 😊😢
Xxxx
This is the greatest voice ever!
It‘s effable beauty is truly God- given.
The World isn't the same without this exceptional talent. I've been to several of his live concerts and every one was truly memorable. One in a million ❤
This is my favourite version of this song, sung by George Michael. His voice was like smooth buttery silk that caressed to the bone. The man was amazing. ❤
Mine too
This is why I fell in love with George..this performance is better than the original..I miss his beautiful smooth, silky, flawless voice. so gifted and so very much missed..
Hi 👋, how are you doing
No words, this voice is unique and nothing to compare with. His intelligence, passion, beautiful appearance and love for people makes him so special. RIP George
In this life very very special people are a rarity like George. If you ever happen to meet one hold on to them tight ❤️
I'd be honored if some George Michael fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of ONE MORE TRY and PRAYING FOR TIME on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of George's many legendary compositions. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. THANK YOU GEORGE, WE MISS YOU.
👍❤️
❤️👍
He could sing his shopping list and it would be beautiful. So terribly missed 💔
I had the pleasure of meeting George in our local pub in Bushey when he was with Andrew in Wham
I miss him so much your a legend my friend RIP
His version is better than any other I have heard, no vocal gymnastics, just pure and effortless.
Teddy Swims' cover is worth checking out if you like soulful and effortless.
Likewise with bon iver’s cover, incredible cover
CHECK OUT PRINCE VERSION
The best version after George's is Tank's.
Liquid gold - unbelievable voice - Talent at it's highest level.
Best version ever!!! The one and only. No one compares with him on this song.
That voice should still be here, be heard and be enjoyed. This song is ever lasting.
It's seems all these great musicians are destined to leave us too soon. 😢
