[Gurgi1990]

@NordicMe I personally see no issue with his shirtlessness...

[rockerchickomg30]

How is it that lady gaga and Miley Cyrus are getting money by the millions while someone with REAL talent shows off their skills on YouTube? I love your work, btw. Keep it up -3

[toumepassalepoiv]

@rockerchickomg30 lady gaga a un vrai talent de auteur compositeur. miley cyrus je sais pas.

[FRlGHT]

You have an amazing voice.

My god.

[zmufeng]

I love your voice

[Senceinterpreter]

И нет изменений двенадцать лет к ряду,

Не стал я взрослее, чем был я тогда.

Беззаботность мышленья не спасёт от крушенья,

Я сброшусь без страха; скажите, когда.

[Senceinterpreter]

Я знаю, что песня звучала однажды,

Но я напою ещё раз мотив.

Не буду вам лгать - нет желания жить.

И я лучше сдохну, чем буду строптив.

[princessprojector]

happy christmas Jay. u r the man

[WuschelKuschel94]

I don´t know what´s better:

Your voice, or the lyrics *~*

I love this song so much, I can´t describe my feelings for it.

You did an awesome job!

This song helped me to find clarity for my feelings. Thank you very much.

(My English is so bad T-T I hope you understand it...)

[Vendetta5246]

horrible voice )

[JMVpokefan]

omg, the song rlly fits how i'm feeling rt about now. its nice 2 know someone feels the same way at the same i do :)

*sigh* that was so beautiful ^^

[hatefullpain01]

the songs perfet jay. keep em coming and il keep doing what i do best. listen to you. :-)

[screamer4charlotte]

the ultimate voice that can cheer me up after a day of unpleasantness.

[EXtremedges]

oh jay, looks like you're about to fall asleep...just a random comment there...

but love this song too!

[07janpl]

me encanta la song!!!!!

[guitarpoetone]

WoW What a cool song Did u write this its so right. today I found your videos for the frist time I was looking 4 Be-bop & jazz songs when u pop up I injoy your music your very talented...never stop its you...

[daringdavie]

You beautiful, vunerable man.

[MrAliMcB]

The CD version is irresistably good. I've been playing it over & over (and i must confess of doing a terrible so-called waltz each time i do listen to it)

[andersonalanviana]

Wow, sing in my bed (6) A fan from Brazil

[screamer4charlotte]

why do you have to be so amazing?

:)

[guiradete]

none of your songs could never suck...this is...amazing...

[gwydion1400]

you would just end up loving the guy on your ipod, not the guy in your bed

[tiwai22]

Wow. Are you single?

[04211992April]

This is my favorite song of yours. Well, tied with On All Fours.

[RonaldFran]

I like it so much! it´s amazing the way you look trough camera

[screamer4charlotte]

you're voice is the most beautiful instrument i've ever heard.

[ECOmusician123]

Amazing!!! This song can be related to life in general. We're constantly on a "Death Waltz" day by day.

[lovelifegreenpeace]

he's perfect.

[drunkonimmorality]

there's this metamusicality to your songs... which may not be the appropriate term, but what I mean to express is that the lyrics express the consciousness of being in a song... it's beautiful because each time you perform this song it must feel like a live reenactment of your song writing process. i can't wait to see you live. i may gift you with flowers, or chocolate or handmade jewlery. you decide

[xaviervelastin]

tbh it was better than average until the verse which was like i wish my songs didnt suck

it changed the entire style of the song and i really didn't like that, your voice is pretty nice though.

the song pisses me off but i can't really pinpoint why, probs just not very centred on anything - some lyrics are good but then you put yourself down, and i don't really get any kind of emotion from you.. *shrug*

[dollylapecora]

wow..fantastic!

[RickSteinbock]

Wooooooow......no words to this!

(and very beautiful voice)

[lucyforever]

this is my favourite.

[Miakanobaka]

Oh my goodness! You sound so much like Jay. Absolutely wonderful, really.

[aznbwong]

that is jay....

[onpianoisland]

hoshit this is awesome!

[BlimBlam1977]

Quickly becoming one of my faves Jay. Can't wait to see you on Friday!

[CowsxgoxMooo]

One of ur best songs. Soooo upset i couldnt come see you when u were in Machester in August, I was in hospital, and have been waiting for like FOREVA to see you play live! =[ oh well I still listen to you ALL the time! Thanx for suppliying my ears with BEAUTIFUL music xxxxx

[Jo0s]

LOVES ITTT

[maribelpv]

linda voz......linda canciones...

nice..

nice

[gravitysong]

you have such a beautiful talent. whether it gets broadcasted on the radio with a whole bunch of shit or discovered by the lucky ones on youtube and myspace etc. you are getting it out there and affecting people. You deserve happiness and know that you continue to provide it for so many here.

[jim10701]

I love you, Jay

[PoizOneParadize]

From Italy... we all Love YOU!

[Gutsman39]

Hee Jitske jij hier.. :O

[AshlynneMay]

TASTE THE RAINBOW LOVE THE RAINBOW

Ash

[Daritai]

Nice spelling douche.

It's queer.

Now, to the topic truly at hand, Jay, I love your voice.

[obsessed89]

Why so many thumbs down for someone who is sticking up for the lovely Jay? :(

[CowsxgoxMooo]

Coz they rnt reading it they think s/he is tlkin to Jay, not defending him!

[rockerchickomg30]

yeah really,either they r J haters or they just read to me saying "nice job jerk" but thanx.Luv u J!

[Tayl012]

you're awesome

[nattefb]

OH-MY-GOD! who is this guy?! He's amazing... the sweetest voice ever... I'm from Argentina, and i don't kown how i arrive here (sorry my english hehehe)

Keep it on like this...!!! Naty from Argentina!

[barnsie]

beautiful voice

[Coasterfan06]

fyi. this song is absolutley AMAZING, and currently my favorite. I got all of my friends into your music, but we cant find your album anywhere.! WEll definately think about putting this one on 'the myspace' purchasing thing cause my friends and i cant stop singin this one. <3

[eruditanonyme]

jay's first album doesn't come out until july, i think.

[lynsibug]

there is one album on itunes but its only four songs

[jusguyz]

I never had shoulders like that :-(

[collialba]

When are you coming back to Vancouver, Canada? Hope it is soon I want to swoon. Jeffrey

[teufel0708]

Excellent, Gorgeous!!!! (=

[xxJitskee]

great song! but to be honest, Arjens version sounds.. better ? I just like his version!

You're a great singer and songwriter ;) x

[volnessj]

i must disagree with you. Arjen's sounded good, but the performance was no where near as good as brilliant. Jay, has so much more emotion and you can tell he's feeling what he's singing.

[xxJitskee]

I just like his version more ;) he's just singing it a different way. x

[ArjenFortuin]

and i got to agree with you.. jay is way better than me =\ but i'll try hard to be just as good one day .. i've got the time u know! only 15 :P

[arrrprivate]

there is this vulnerability in his voice when he sings ''if i must face the gun squad again then let me get shot'' that sends a chill down my spine everytime.

[ArjenFortuin]

just posted a video response to this video with me covering it.. not as good as jay's though =\ singing it differently 'n stuff..

and daaamn brilliant song jay :D took a really close look at the lyrics.. and i'm STILL wondering.. if I'll EVER be as good at songwriting as you are.. damn dude ^^

grtz arjen

[Nicolasdu7]

I hate you! Grrrr! because You sing too well and I am a very bad singer

[JerbyVids]

Gorgeous song!

[justforfun]

Jay, why you alwasy look sad? you are wonderful and amazing!

[bzzz03]

rocky...oaw...where do these comm come from?...:P...jay u r great...cute:)

[rockyMTN57]

Experience, hanging-in there. You can't rush or force things. Learning the hard way is an effort that comes with risk of brain damage!

Important just to learn to be a good listener, an observer, not too hard on yourself or on others, or staying in a rut for too long if you fall down. Success and happiness come by way of trusting your instincts- the divine in you, and boosts confidence! Being open to new adventures & ideas is key. My Grandma said, 'may as well be shot for a sheep as a lamb'!

[supermanatrandom]

some of your songs invoke an applause and others a forceful nod of agreement, but this time Jay i just ant to kiss you and let you cry. You wear your heart on you guitar stings and I can't help but find that to be both endearing and very brave.

[rockyMTN57]

I second that emotion. Jay's ability to write intelligent, refreshing lyrics challenge the status quo, dumbed-down, western culture of today. Fortunately, many more crave honesty, and value integrity. Jay with his beautiful voice and musical talents is destined to go far and will leave the critics in the dust!

[ianoxDD]

Jay did it again! Great song, and a nice video for your fans out here. From the bottom of my heart: may your wishes come true. My blessings are for sure.

[mycoldcase]

amazing, as always.

[kaedelake]

Im not gonna lie I dont really wanna live either but here I am and I'm glad I have your music to keep me company on my journey.

[mightymongoose]

The way you put stress on your syllables is really unusual. I love it!

[weshookhands]

wow, impressive...er, honest, i mean.

[Rab0b]

always awesome.

[laurytanty89]

jay sing another song with ur kashakas, pleaseee!!!!!!!

kissesss :-)

[petermortimer]

Superlatives no longer suffice...

Another gem in the Jay Brannan songbook.

When will your "first album" be on the record shop shelves?

With my deepest admiration...

[zematus]

nice song

[funnylittleonion]

MMMMMM....that was he sound of me sounding soothed...thank you Mr Brannan, for bringing your music to my ear lugs.

[xolil0925]

this song is amazingg

i love every one of your songs

and your lyrics are always so different and unusual, but in a good way

its not like the songs you hear on the radio today where they repeat the same line over and over.

i loveee it jay! :D

[jred7]

i'm starting to appreciate you music more. i only subscribed to you because i remember several months ago i came across one of your videos ( i think you were on the toilette playing guitar!lol.) but i came across your cover of terra naomi's...oh shoot i forget...nonetheless i liked it and i am starting to like your style as well. never stop playing. you are an inspiration to me to keep writing songs no matter what i think of them because it may have an influence on someone else. God Bless.

J

[daninohio]

I like. very soothing. :)

[BananaEarthquake]

I love you!

[wwwhennesycc]

wonderful, very emotional!

[MegaRoooos]

I love this song.

[SparhawkGT]

Very good sir. Keep up the good work.

[gabrigante]

great song jay, keep doing this good job, i subscribed you, and i really think you should get your hair back like in shortbus

<3

[joshuawinn]

I can really relate to this song... and p.s. your songs don't suck regardless what you might think. Hope your show with Bitch was a blast. i'm pissed i missed it

[Crune]

i love it!!

nice song

love the title too

[IrisJang]

Wow...

[rockyMTN57]

Defiant, absolutely insightful. Masterfully executed! Song and lyrics are subversive GENIUS! Moralizing aside there is irony in the melancholy, a call to live boldly. Literal or metaphorical call to take a stance. Positive thinking won't stop ships from sinking. Call to courage, to waltz with death...to tango with forces that torment us, to rise against repression or oppression. This road is long, my patience is not. This is a defining moment as Jay Masters Classic Folk with this Masterpiece!

[sydneygayboi]

OMG!!!! another great song Jay !! keep up the great work . please please please come to AUSTRALIA ...PLEASE!

[hockeychick5739]

Jay, I want to hug you.

[JoeDisturbia]

omg, that was awesome! very beautiful song ♥ keep going, jay!

[Treadersuk]

Excellent song. I hope it isn't true for you Jay, if it is chin up and I hope you get through it. If not outstanding insight to how others are feeling.

[lighthouse66]

Outstanding lyrics..... they spoke straight into my heart.... they described my life

[edituko]

Great...

[LouOo]

Pretty really good ^.^

[stepicot]

Nice camera position, Jay. By the way, nice to see it's hot in your apartment even in February;-)

[Alexanadu]

in vancouver, i found it refreshing that jay's live performance and his youtube videos are consistently...real. the only difference is that you can actually talk to him! and touch him, if lucky.

[SeksiMa2Nv]

I love this song ! Amazing ... as usual =]

[j025431f]

Kinda creepy...

It seemed like you were singing how about how crappy I feel right now.

Good job!

(ps, I love how my cover of ur song pops up on the similar videos thing at the end of ur video...that would explain the sudden jump in comments i got on it today. haha....)

Aaaanyway.

Love ya Jay, keep impressing me!

[clarkcny]

Oh my, Jay...come to Homer and sing for us.

[tittiit]

You have no idea how this song effected me. I don't even know how to put it in words I'm just.. amazed by you, you're entire.. I don't even know the name for it, persona? It's amazing, you're an amazing intresting person. Wow. Unbeliveble.

[cheeshire]

Me encantas, nen!!!!

I'm not really sure that i could translate it well to english, but Isn't a bad comment, ^_^

Take care

[keys4321]

[Vedicondos]

*fans self*

Every time I think I can't love your music any more, you wow me all over again!

Purely orgasmic, Jay. Keep it up!

[TxikyKlosy]

U'r the hunkest boy I've ever seen!!! And u've got the nicest voice I've ever heard!!

[xKarolina]

[pambomar]

[Taurusaud]

I love how you sing it differently each time. Very funny touch with the "I think this verse died" hahaha!! You're a very original song writer and I hope you continue to write many more.

[meowmixX23]

[krissyheartyou]

[sparkers70]

Love this song to bits! It's definitely a Jay original. lol. One of these days I'm going to drag you to the beach and make you play for me beside a campfire!

[burner289]

Amazing...

[wonderboycw]

[Isaacisgonnarock]

Waltzing with death... interesting concept

[maultreehill]

awesome.

[IgnoreTheSun]

i love you.

[volnessj]

I love the Chorus Jay. It angers me that you aren't as big as you should be.

[LaurenS419]

[evilkid28]

[zwitterion24]

Nice song... ur face at 0.02 - 0.03 sec was hilarious!!

[equalrightsforall87]

[rab2148]

I love your subtle sense of humor. Good song.

[evilaelf]

Very nice song, but sad.

Thrilled to hear a new song from you :D

[Janzah]

I write songs like you too. But they always seem to make me so depressed that I never post them. :(

awesome song. it shocks me kind of, the song, but it's very nice. only emotions in songs sometimes are no good to me. this just makes me wanna cry :(

you don't write crap songs, you're just great the way you are.

[adorkable58]

wow, i just wrote a song a couple days ago similar to the topic of your song and i thought mine was superly sad. but your's definitely beats mine!

i like it by the way

[royalicecream]

ok for some reason, the more i listen to it, the better it gets, i would really buy a cd of this song, it amazes me!

[royalicecream]

your lyrics are amazing, i don't know, it's so nice to listen to your songs.

[bmusiclovr]

this song is depressing, but i love your music.

[AllieMo24]

Thank you Jay Brannan... for existing and putting yourself on youtube. i 'preciate it.
