Gregory Porter - Illusion Lyrics

🎻🎻🎻🐐🐐🐐

I'm immediately in love with him.

"....sweeping dust and memories beneath the carpet that we purchased somewhere on some cool retreat, somewhere in Africa, somewhere." Africa?? Imagine. Such a conscious choice of words suggests a conscious and conscientious man. I am officially a fan.

amazing doesn't define this

Oh my goodness! :-)

This vibe and this voice from the man are awesome

clothespins snapped by wild winds omgggg fukn god exhaleeeee shit man gold 1:45 see you one day old pal

one verse=i'm dead -- time for bed? NO mORE mUsIC

true love

Gregory Porter's voice and the way he sings is so vivid, so colorful. wonderful.

"Gray clouds filling my eyes" i love this song. Because of what i went through in a breakup, a while back.

Bellisimo

ohh men!! wuauu..it is like a wake up to enlightenment. i feel so thamn good. Tnx Mr. Porter

The first song on the album and how convincing it is to give faith in its purchase. I find it hard to give critical ears of anything he does. It comes through him and grabs your soul.

Wait. Wait. What happened to her???

trying to find reality after a bad break up, just the illusion of my mind

So Nice

que video mas amoroso,gracias.

I simply can't get enough of this man's beautiful voice...

Me either.

Beautiful.

Lord thank you for blessing me with this great soul. Mr. Porter is pure elegance.

Sooooo beautiful...his voice is amazing and the video just makes it so sad, lol.

Man good music right here!

his voice is like a full body massage, spirit and soul included. Each time I hear it. I just melt at the smooth and soulful sound.

Just like clothes pins snapped by wild winds, sometimes you can't hold on to love. It never dies.......

Glad to have been introduced to the soul behind this familiar voice.

this is me

just like clothes pins snapped by wild wild, man that's my song it's speaks of true love for sure

Maravilhoso! Não consigo parar de ouvir

"I've been trying to catch my breath from the illusion that I lost it when you left me".......wow

Wow! He's AWESOME! Never heard of him b4. Everything I've heard is 4 the REAL GROWN UPS FOLKS.

music that speaks to the HEART

im a big fan of jazz and why am I just now finding out about him.

Awesome

Not really!..

Dear God.

meravigliosamente struggente...

so beautiful...words fail.

Carolina Martucci

what was the song called they he sang at Glastonbury this year when the couple got engaged? Can't find it anywhere

what are some of the lyrics ? Did you find it?

powerful

Deep, so beautiful

He has such an authentic feel to him....remind me of Donny Hathaway.

just seen him live this evening at Royal Albert Hall... A true wonder and a great celebration of music

Millions thanks for shairing

It breathes.... all throughout.

♫ Like Bare feet on Hot concrete. ♪♫

I love his music!!  I could listen to him 24/7!!

Where's that #Yaaaaas  button ?! Love it.

Such a beautiful song

love this song

Wonderful Voice

That last breath....

This song is amazing... The Video feels like it was shot by Spike Lee. Great feel to to it. But yet both the song and the video, feels incomplete. Still it's a Great piece of work!

+RayfieldA I know what you mean, but there are some song that intentionally leave you wanting more like they end too soon - it feels frustrating

I love his hat, but I just cant get past the head scarf thing.. its all i look at when he's on screen.

Close your eyes and just listen.. thats what is did for a while..

I was wondering about that, too, when I saw him on TV; maybe he has a skin condition?

Yes he had surgery because of a skin condition...now its healed and he continues to wear it for the allure!

Simon Walker ..me too I was just thinking this..wow

Simon Walker, this is a late response, but your comment explains why talent competitions like "The Voice" were born. The judges are initially faced away from the performers so that their eyes don't get in the way of their smarter ears.

wreszcie dojrzałem do takiej muzyki

Wow....(exhale)...simply breathe taking

My brother introduced me to Gregory Porter's music and I have been a fan ever since!

He's simply amazing !!!! I just saw him live for the first time ....

Adult music.

This man's voice is such nourishment.

IThis was music for life, love and good mornings.

Beautiful!

Thanks,  I see we work for the same company. 

@Pat Cocoa Brown-Rice
Some of your profile was so classic I had to jack it. LOL..I see you checked out my profile, thanks. you can direct message me on twitter if you like, its much more private @bigcity20 

what a beautiful voice..touches my soul

Interesting choice of words! it's 'you're not your'.

I love this song. It's been on repeat in my house for 3 days whilst I learn the piano chords. He's playing tonight in Hackney, but I'm teaching.. Might have to call in sick and hit the gig :)

smoooooooth!! Yes Gregory!!

love. pure love

Damn who would have thought. I still remember being at school and Greg would start singing. Not anything in particular, just whatever situation we were in or even if it was just a couple words just to get on your nerves. or make you laugh. Memories
Damn good music Greg

what is a cultured or working class look? We are just people...@1emmain

Renaud has a Paravel brotha... comprenne qui pourra... si l'eau est plus précieuse que l'or, alors...

i've been planting all the flowers that you like with the hope that it'l take root and smell the blossom when the wind blows...

He doesn't look the way I had imagined him to look from hearing his records on Jazz FM. Somehow more kinda working-class or something. Maybe he sounds more "cultured" than he looks?

@Iemmain: Interesting. You think Gregory Porter "sounds more cultured than he looks", and I hope you look more cultured than you sound.

sad and deep.......and the music is ethereal

Some songs are just perfect. This is one.

This is pure beauty and mystical magical wonder.....he takes you with him and tells the story so well........I am a new fan 4 LIFE!!!!!!!

Your composition,Mr.Porter,the lyrics,I've been trying to catch my breath from the Illusion that I lost it when you left me...Is unusually imaginative,heartfelt,this song a special kind of magic...

He took me down with this one...

TOTALLY!!

"Waiter, a table for two in that dimly lit corner, please..."

his voice is similar to gospel singer marvin winans. take gander and listen to marvin sing, and you will SEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

wow..

Oh My. The unmatched clarity... Takes me to so many places...

Look at my homegirl Akua Taylor... what an amazing video to go with such an amazing voice!

where has this dude been! thank fuck i found this.

Well executed video of telling a story, beautiful, beautiful song. Just recently seen him perform in Detroit... words cannot how express how humble, soul touching, his music and collaboration of words have u mesmerized to listen and recognize. Video Ovation to Mr Porter!!!

Great voice and great song. Greg Porter is so talented. A star is born!

An 'old fashioned' delightful voice that is rarely heard nowadays... Lovely lyrics lovely video

AMAZING!!! BRAVO!!!!!

I love it...It makes me cry...

no dislikes this is a song that needs to be heard.

so good ...beauty...love it...;))

Wow! I have been checking out his music ever since a friend of mine posted "Be Good" on Facebook. His voice is so soothing, yet it cuts right into my heart, softly.

effortless :)

proper music personified and a pity that this kind of non comercial seriously good music/voice is only acknowledeged by a few globally. I would love to hear him sing over Ahmad Jamal's "Sparticus Love Theme." Check it out on youtube. Big up Mr Porter !!!!

Thank you gregory for your beautiful songs, this is timeless music, special in every era, bringing back to feeling in music. Brother please I beg, remember the creator who gave you that wonderful voice and glorify Him in your music also, you have a rare talent, sew wha you can for the harvest

Its been a long time since a new singer gave me this kind of a feeling, I love this music!

This is beautiful and his album is nice as well! The sista in this video gorgeous!!

great song and a great performance on Jools. But wtf is he wearing? Has he got some scars or a skin condition? its bugging me!

Just seen him on Jools Holland show tonight - WOW he is so special.
