goose bumps. Every. Single. Time. I know this song for like 4 years now but i still get this feeling when i listen to it. Its almost impossible to describe. Amazing what music can do^^
A gente pára, fecha os olhos, abre os ouvidos e o som nos leva...e nos traz com todo o cuidado nos coloca de volta, só que desta vez com a respiração no lugar e é inevitável o sorriso nos lábios e a paz na mente e coração! É...é assim que ouço!
listening to this is like coming home. after a lifetime of war, walking beneath oak trees with nothing but the sound of the breeze. the sun forever rising. forever standing still. peace for the weary. redemption for the damned.
You know I am always struggling for words to express my unbridled enthusiasm for this guy (it only took me a day to become a fan for the rest of my life). My friend - you've said it all here - and thank you Tommy for digging so deep with every song.
its amazing.. tommy is the only artist i know of that can paint a picture like that in the listeners head.. thats so much emotion put into the song. he's always my #1 musical idol.
@thedevilscolt Traditionally i would respond to that by saying something like 'dont get too gooey' but you're right on the money, man. no exaggeration at all. This man and this song are incredible.
@thedevilscolt so true man...closing ur eyes, listening to his songs, especially this one, is like hallucinating WITHOUT drugs true? its the gift he has man
this is awe-inspiring. my absolute favourite song of tommy's. every time i listen to this, i fall in love with this song just a little more. it takes a true genius and a pure soul to compose something as beautiful and perfect as this. to me, listening to this is almost like having a religious experience of some sorts. simply breathtaking. thank you for this wonderful piece of music, tommy, it makes the world a better place to live in.
I'm sure... I will hear this melody in heaven... My heart cries when I listen this song.. unsatisfied longing..but also my heart smiles..God Bless You Tommy. from Poland.
It's tuned down 3 halfsteps and it has a more huge sound with this and with normal tuning this song wouldn't sound sooooo beautiful! The dreadnought has also a huge sound because of it's guitar body.
oojakapiv I was there at Bolton and it was my brother and I who requested Questions! Im kindof happy about a request of ours making someone elses night too!
uplifting. very touching tune. i have made up my mind to set tommy as the ultimate standard to achieve as a guitarist. I personally think those artist from candyrat, though very skillful, does not come anywhere close to tommy's way of expressing music and his flexibility on the guitar. Truly an all rounder, superb guitarist. Not to forget showmanship.
Saw Tommy for first time this week in Bolton, U.K. with Andy McKee. Was blown away. This was the highlight of the night. Ranks alongside Bensusan as a great writer/player.
He's a great performer, as well... just radiating pure joy; completely comfortable with himself & the audience... as if we're all just friends & family hangin out in his family room with him.
A guitar player like Tommy has no need to sing , songs like this need no words. When the guitar is played this beautifully it tells the story no words are needed. Pure class.
This is what happens when you start playing guitar professionally at six years old and dedicate your life to an instrument and to the pursuit of self expression through your music. He is beyond comparison.
As amazing as his fast stuff is, this is the best. He needs to make another album with this stuff. Enough with the lyric songs already, he is a guitar player.
He appeared on Woodsongs old time radio hour later, (performance 418 I think) and said he split it open performing...someone in the audience gave him a band aid!
Amazing. He can tell story thru guitar. Look at his expression when playing guitar said it all. Truly amazing.

Every candrat artist has their own unique style and they still make great music. Andy Mckee and Don Ross could play with anyone.

I find, for example, Rylynn by Andy Mckee to be a beatiful song, but it's uncomparable to Questions or Those Who Wait.
