I watched this live. I don't remember it so thanks for the reminder.     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

That song and performance by Jake Brugg just vaulted into my list. It is incredible. That is one of the most beautiful songs and performance I've ever heard.

He builds that song up from the first note to the ending.
A different voice for sure, but mesmerizing.

Loved his finger picking supported by the background strings and vocals.  It was frigging great !!

Thanks for sharing that one - I hope everyone gives it a listen.
These are the lyrics to it if anyone needs them

I'll wait here for you
For I'm broken down
I'm coming down this town
For my heart lies
Far and away where they took you down
Let them over to your house
Where I'm broken
Down by the people if they let you breathe
Don't give a damn if you still can't see
Still my heart beats
For you have become
All I lost and all I hoped for
But I must carry on
Always one, never broken
Run to the lobby where I saw you try
Don't give a damn for your reasons why
Where soul feels
Down in the valley where the church bells cry
I'll leave them over to your eyes, woah
I am one, I am one
Break story of peace and love
In a future, bright
Sacrifice came around
Never broken
Down by the people if they let you breath
Don't give a damn if you still can't see
Traveling a street that I did not go
Wheels locked on to the winter lull
Down in the valley where the church bells cry
I'll lead them over to your eyes, woah
I am one, woah
I am one, I am one
