Stood there by broken tree
Hands were all twisted;
Pointing at me.
I was damned by light comin'
All the while she
Spoke with a voice that disrupted the sky.
She said, "Walk on over here to the bit of shade.
Let me sign, Let me sign

His singing voice and his speaking voice are so vastly different, I can't even believe this is him
@manuelarredondo1084
Yeah I’m in Shock too when I first heard that this was him singing it I was like no freaking way !
@Shackapalooza2010
You can hear the soul folk influence. His pronunciation comes from a mixture of that influence (the drawl) and his natural accent that tends to roll harder R and Ts into the vowel, creating your "Ed Sheeran" effect mixed with already powerful actors diaphragm.
End result is a wonderful little tune, mad props to the guy
