Welcome to the club! Believe me, you are not the only one who loves AMK and is obsessed with Henning May’s voice. Of course, there is also a fair share of people who hate his voice, or like his voice but not his songs. But then, there are people like me - and you, obviously - who are deeply affected and delighted by this voice, his personality, and that beautiful band.
When African-American reactors on YouTube react to Henning’s voice (most often to the viral “Tom’s Diner (Cover)”, of course) they often use the word “soul” to describe this voice. What they mean is a certain emotional depth and authenticity that does not come from drinking whiskey or smoking cigarettes, but from an “old soul”.
Or, as you put it, it’s “so heartachingly beautiful that it changes you deep inside”.
Great voice! If you’re into foreign language stuff, reminded me of this guy a bit. He’s not as raspy, but I find this song absolutely haunting…
