So I just came across this song/video that totally swept me off my ashy feet. It is sang by Alex Boye (some guy who I am sadly just getting myself acquainted to his music), and The Piano Guys were on the instrumental. This song is so beautiful, it shows to you that music is a language on it's own. You may not understand a bit of what he is saying, but you would definitely feel the power of the song. Alex Boye sang the song in different languages: Swahili, English, Yoruba (which happens to be my native language), and he also made use of scat singing. It is a cover of Cold Plays 'Paradise (Mylo Xyoloto)', but in my humble opinion, this is a better version. It can stand as an individual song on it's own, and it is by far the the best song I have heard in a good minute. The whole ensemble of the instruments (Piano, Strings, & drums), and the African feel to it is wonderful. It has a nice video to go with it too. The video was shot on the cliff of a mountain close to Las Vegas (Very unique and intriguing location). Enjoy it below.
