This has special meaning for me right now. The world is dark, my eyes are red and it's going to be worse in the next few months, but this little piece of light is soothing.

I hope I can sleep tonight. This Lullaby will help.

You should really just... let me buy your song / downloaded version.

Congrats man!

[johnnyonline]

well this one is a certainty for the CD whenever i get time to actually recording it. I just need to write another 12 or so songs that i like as much as this one. HA.

[ihuxo]

It is definatley worth it :)

[crimsonooze]

Johnny, every time I come to listen to this song, it gives me the chills. And it's not the string squeaks. It's just that good. Thanks for having music that puts a smile on my face. :)

[snarfblat7]

wow, that was beautiful...

~EMptY

[SmoshVideoLuvah]

This song has helped me get through some troubled times recently, thankyou. It's quite amazing how powerful a guitar and heartfelt words can be.

[fungummies]

can't you put it on a site somewhere as an mp3 file so we can download it to put on our ipods? i love it!

[Pugepunk]

Wow...It works...or I'm just tired.

(Fell asleep on the desk.:S)

[Overswarm]

People like you make me wish I was rich so I could just give you the ability to put all this on a CD!

[monicasmix]

This is great! You sound a bit like Paul McCartney...

[tuskaiae]

Great Original my friend!! I love your voice too :-)

It's such a beautiful song. Thank you so much for writing it. It has further inspired me to keep playing guitar. It brings tears to my eyes. Thank you.

[Shifty567]

Very nice.

[RunnerGunner]

I'm still waiting for you to get a record deal...

[etabone1]

dude that song was AMAZING! so powerfull...thank you for sharring..

[janisplennon]

This reminds me of The Beatles' "Mother Nature's Son". You should definitely do that song. It would kick ass.

[zzzzzzzzap]

Beeeeutiful. A fan of yours was passing by my channel and recommended I check out your channel; so glad they did. Really stunning song; besides this you have a lovely personable quality. Peace..

[johnnyonline]

well i've just checked out your channel sir, beautiful voice, wonderful player. you have a new subscriber.

[thespiritliesdormant]

a little hint of john mayer(one of the best guitarist/singers ever) awesome song!!

[killerclair]

(side note: is there any way i could get an mp3 of this? i would put it on my little mp3 player and walk around with a smile all day long.)

[killerclair]

still my favorite original by you. it calms me. such is beauty, i guess.

[NiteRider107]

Very insperational. I loved that line "i'll be hiding from the world outside" what a great line...

[0PhantomShadow0]

Nice,amazing work.

[themadchipmonk]

cant stand the string-scratching sounds...

[vguandbloopers]

yea right but it stops

[martybow1]

!!! sliding rocks!

[TamTam1394]

great song, keep it up buddy :)

[Jak1772]

This song really spoke to me. Can you tell me what its like, being grown up ? Im in highschool now. To me it seems like a distant horrible future, where I'll have to either go to college and TRY to make a living afterwards, or struggle... Growing up really sucks...

[johnnyonline]

it doesn't have to suck.. well not completely. but it's always going to a little bit. though if it didn't, you wouldn't appreciate the good times as much. acknowledge the bad stuff.. but focus on the good. in terms of making a living, follow what you love. feed your passion, and your passion will feed you. but i'm no wise monkey.. just keep your eyes and your ears open to the world and you'll work it out just fine.

[Jak1772]

Thanks for the words of wisdom, I think it won't be that bad, I mean I tend to overstress from time to time.

[martybow1]

NO! growin up is amazing! way it seems to me is (bearin in mind i'm only 17 ya get millions of rsponsibilities n hav 2 pay for everythin u want or need or wot ur family needs. ur constantly bein watched by big bro n everythin is TAXED but it's not all bad! Hopefully u get a job dat makes a diff or one u enjoy! life is what u make it reli and u just got 2 fill it wiv lil things dat make u feel better!pretty scary out there but i think it will be a blast!

[forbiddenwonders]

you seriously sound like paul mccartney! you have a great voice.

[snowboardpatrol]

oh how do you adjust your voice?

[johnnyonline]

what do u mean by 'adjust' ?

[DonnaSwift]

thanks a million!! download it now!!! :D

[timetravelfx]

dude! that was a beautiful song. fantastic singing and guitar playing. awesome lyrics too. you have a hit for sure!

[dswif06]

Is there anyway of making this song available for download??? I love it soooo much... Great job!

[johnnyonline]

it should already be.. on my myspace :)

[jamityclane]

I adore this video. It's beautiful and comforting; I listened to it non-stop when I was going through a nasty breakup and it calmed me down everytime. Thanks for sharing. =)

[jedislave]

very very good. If only I could write this well. Thanks for sharing it was a pleasure!

[thegraystate]

Hey Gringo! Long time no communicate. Is this song yours? It's beautiful dude. Beautiful song, beautifully performed. Pete

[johnnyonline]

hey pete. thanks. yeah, it's all mine. but everything in open D tuning sounds lovely.. lol

[Indrina]

Please re-record this song once your strings are less squeeky. The squeek drives me nuts, but the song is absolutely beautiful. Great job.. please re-record! :D

[chaoscausingleo]

Don't suppose I could beg you to do another version of this song eh? I love the music and lyrics but I just can't really hear it through the squeaky strings... they distract too much from the real feel of the song...

[johnnyonline]

i was thinking about it actually.. i might just do that sometime

[snowboardpatrol]

forget that i like the sqeek lol

[lonniejc]

Wow, this is an amazing song. It actually made me cry.

[whb]

another amazing song! you should do a CD - i would buy it in a nanosecond.

[TorquatoTheCat]

Yes, Johnny, in a nanosecond! What're you waiting for? Go independent!!

[alwayswriting07]

I don't remember why I passed over this one before... but I missed out for a while. I like this a lot too. Do you write your lyrics as well as the music?

[johnnyonline]

i certainly do :)

[KennilworthyWhisp]

WOW!!! that was amazing! the lyrics are so beautiful and your voice is really soothing! one of my favorites!

[coolsascha]

I want the fucking TAB :)

Someone got that?

[johnnyonline]

[coolsascha]

[LadyApple32]

This is so beautiful.

You're beautiful.

<3

[michaelisanevildude]

This is such a beautiful song. Just like cloudismyhero, I had the same reaction. Love Two Point Oh made me sing along and so did this. I actually started to tear up listening to this. I would really, really like to have this on my ipod, any chance at all I can download this from a website?

Thank you so much, please, keep on writing.

[johnnyonline]

it's on myspace.. free to all :) just click the link right of the video.

[Cloudismyhero]

It's amazing how I can go from Love Two Point Oh, smiling, and listen to something so incredibly different from that and still be enjoying myself at least as much if not more. That is a really gorgeous song. Making my mother listen to it she started to tear up. And in a good way, I promise you. It's stuff like this that keeps me coming back to YouTube.

[johnnyonline]

that's such a sweet thing to say. thank you.

[Fluxumation]

Absolutely stunning.

[ZayMaster]

wow.. I used to only watch your drummin videos but I love your voice and guitar too. damn man.

[killerclair]

just a little comment: i listen to this before bed sometimes. it gives me the sweetest of dreams. i think, you are somehow magic.

[johnnyonline]

thank you clair.. i honestly think that music is the last real magic humans have left.

that and magnets.

[squedge55]

I know how you feel, amazing song; I hope the dream in your last verse is not too far away. Thanks for sharing.

[imthehuman]

I've had this song stuck in my head for days now. I decided to learn how to play it. Thanks for making it easy.

The tuning is annoying though.

You rock Johnny.

[1SuP3Rm4n1]

I can't stop listening to it. You're amazing. Do you do performaces across te world, would you performe at a party in Holland? :D

No you're really great. Pity the strings squeaked..

[llanbradach]

good song, and quite a good voice.

[janice24]

this song got stuck in my head today! and i haven't heard it for a week!  look what you've done :D

[AntosGagliano]

[candie1985]

[Thewindstale]

This is incredibly moving ... Both lyrically as well as musically ... I love your originals! You have such a sincere, and beautiful voice...

Cannot wait to hear more!

Thank you!

[Sonaslecairde]

That song is absolutely amazing! It has moved me so much. I love it

[UserNameTaken99]

Something about that I just don't like... Sorry Johnny

[spricket24]

probably because you are an unfeeling control freak who has a problem with public affection? I'm not assuming anything here... but would you be upset if I licked your face in public? I think you would be. I'm just teasing you. :P

[UserNameTaken99]

Let's try, I might just like it! Haha

[MuppyMaster]

I would love to hear this song again without the guitar squeaks. The lyrics really moved me. Thank you.

[othoncn]

This is a beautiful song! Hey, do you know Paul Colman's the One Thing? He is from Australia, and plays cool acoustic guitar. Anyway, I tried playing it and posted it on my page...maybe you can try it too!

[bamiballetje]

i wanna download this song to put on my mp4 but the song hasnt a download link on your myspace is it comming or not? and i saw youre aries im aries to 15-04 so lets high five each other!!

[Havic222]

[matts417]

[UC3vil]

Very Elliott Smith-Esque I love this piece.

[bleed0range]

Reminds me of John Mayer and Switchfoot in style.

[Andyb012]

Great song... Kinda reminds me of a combination of Jack Johnson or more so Blackbird by The Beatles

[Schlash]

Very good :D

[Minichibi]

Really cool :D

[prabhun83]

Wow I'm really impressed. This is the first non-cover I've seen you do and I'm definitely looking forward to more!

[JoshuaGarofolo]

I love it Johnny. Great work.

[yiyindigo]

"i'll be hiding from the world outside, singing lullabies for troubled times..." :') you're still an inspiration for me, and this song really calm my beasts! :D

[Quarkinator2]

[EmceeEric]

You have serious long term potential. I think if you searched for success you would find it soon enough. Thanks for using your gift for others to enjoy.

[Bocist]

very cool !

[cristian9correa]

ok you wanted honesty, i liked the lyrics but you started off singing like a girl like all high pitched, dont do that, you started singing good at the one minute mark good lyrics though, and nice guitar play, even though that squeeky shit got annoying

gj -long term subscriber

[navaros5]

The high notes add a very nice tone to the song, instead of being monotone the whole song, I suggest he leave it in.

[MortestMort]

You remind me so much of lennon. Great song Johnny, thanks for sharing!
