[LeonRFpoa]

you sir need to pursue a career in songwriting and performing. I don't know if that's a British accent I'm detecting or what but you kick many many asses of pros too vain to admit it.

[nerdjuice32]

Haha! Same here. Looking for Owl City, stumbled upon Joe. Lucky I was vague enough to just enter 'fireflies' in the search. lol.

[newjoy97]

Joe, your voice and playing are amazing. The lyrics are heartbreaking.

Thank you for sharing your talent with the word.

Blessings! Nancy

[nerdjuice32]

Absolutely amazing man. As an acoustic singer myself, I have to say I'm quite envious of your voice man. I looked you up on myspace. Love The Wedding Song as well. I saw that you haven't been on for over a year though. You should get that running again. Howabout some previews of your upcoming album? :D If I have the means, I'll buy it man. Excellent job dude.

[bababybwoo]

that's so sad and beautiful. Could you please tell me if you ever put that on a cd?

[joeburton77]

the song is on my album which is coming out soon.. I'll keep you posted ! :)

[Dannyfuck]

i just can't stop to listen

[colinf89]

[TheDragonWhelp]

Great and enchanting song! Keep it up!

[task002]

Verry good song, Touching, Soft, And jsut flows betifully. Wish you had a better mic though, Grade A hope you get a recording contract some day!

[joeburton77]

[NutsMovies]

Playing the guitar on a veranda is great indeed :) your music is beautiful. Do you perform or record albums or something too?

[joeburton77]

thanks, I am recording an album at the moment.. this song is on it... will be out soon! all the best

joe

[NutsMovies]

I wish you all the best with your upcoming album!

[kidderminsterbro]

back in 1964 i got my first guitar and taught myself to play it on my front stoop. whenever i drive through small towns i always look with want at the many verandas that i would love to play on. you are such an inspirational man.

peace to you,

rich

[joeburton77]

thanks rich, very much, there's something about playing the guitar outside on a porch with a good view!!

[dreamtiger2]

sounds like a song donavan would write. i love it!

[joeburton77]

thanks! I like donavon a lot!

[luddehonk]

I believe this is the first ever comment I post here at Youtube and being a musician as I am praise are always given seldom. This song however was so remarkably touching that I needed to write it off my heart. This is what confirms my belief that there will always be good music - and the reason I never grow impatient, radio music and such being as it is. Continue writing, performing and sharing your music with us here on youtube. Thank you, Joe.

[joeburton77]

thanks so much!!!!

[Derrickheatherwillia]

I need a CD !

[ComradeGraffities]

How will one get your CD in Dublin?

[joeburton77]

I'll probably upload it to download online.. and could probably post copies too! thanks for the sub.. i'll keep you posted

[heythatisjourney]

You just got yourself a new sub!

[joeburton77]

[devononfire]

[MandolinJackFlatt]

Wonderful, sad song.

[dreamtiger2]

[Mangov]

Did I just watch joeburton77 or Nick Drake himself? :-) Wow, truly fantastic song!

[trenchdiggersnow]

This is amazing dude reminds me of the good old times of catching fireflies as a kid and how it relates to being in love.

Beautiful song really touching

love the theme of being empty and fully filled with the emotion and feeling of love

[joeburton77]

thanks!

[joeburton77]

thanks all!! :)

[cumbi9]

kool

[letambourinnoir]

ah, f**king gorgeous!

I've never seen a firefly before, but they definitely held a strange spot in the mythological accompaniments of my childhood. Thanks for sharing more of your originals, seems you've become quite prolific!

[dreamtiger2]

dang dude. best original song yet!

[amccann7]

Wow you've been a busy minstrel; pumpin' out the folk!! Just wonderful, Joe!

*Amy

[footprints6837]

sounds great :)

[zzzzzzzzap]

Love it, Joe. The description text is fascinating, too. Loving your originals. Have you suddenly been struck by inspiration or are these old favourites biding their time till they got posted on YT?

[joeburton77]

Thanks - I think I have overcome some sort of psychological hurdle which is allowing me to exorcise these songs if that makes any sense?

[mysticcynic]

Good song!

[galensmith]

wow man, excellent song!
