I keep coming back to "RatCandy" to see and hear the singer/songwriters. Justin, you always stand out as a REALLY great talent. This song has a memorable melody and the lyrics are perfectly biting. "Cheesy Little Love Song" is fantastically fun. It makes me smile every time. Your latest, "You", has the obvious word at the end of the verse unexpectedly silent, which adds mightily to it's value. Please continue to write and sing. IT'S WORKING!
Hey guys! If you like acoustic and folk music with powerful lyrics, melody, and purpose, please check out my song "Lighthouse" and my other originals and covers! I'm working really hard on starting this new project and I know you'll love to hear it! Please click on over to my channel for some music!
@june12canada poor boy... yeah of course.. He can play the guitar good? nope he can't. Actually do you know what a real musician is? In my opinion a real musician writes his songs on his own and tells about a story from his/her life or feelings. A musician doesn't have to play 4 different instruments, this doesn't makes you a good musician. But any way, just listen to this great song and don't come up with this bieber shit.
Once in a while a Muscian comes along that has a hit song that needs to be noticed... Its time for a Justin Taylor ... kind of we are missing a Nilson .. He hs much better talent .. I will will learn this song and would love to acompany Justin ...I too am a Lover of Larrivee OM's L's & D's ..Their sound are the best with the 1 3/4 nut width.. Cheers Justin .. you hang in there man .. You are great ...This one should be heard all over the world
Yes Larrivee's are very nice for a production built guitar.. I particularly like the ones made in Vancouver , or the Non gloss and plain .. I like sappelle sides and back for the rich tones and of course spruce tops.
Justin has a great lead bass line in this song , which makes it besides his voice tones and I really think its a hit...There are alot of influences , thats what is so cool about music.. ...
@Jack1C1Brown I agree, however I've noticed that there are a few who actually stick around. The only one I'm going to reference off the top of my head, probably because of the way this song makes me feel, is Imogean Heap. Anyway, I think that some musicians can't be corrupted, atleast not as easily as some others. But the core of my thought of shitty music, is that the people that made it, were in it for the fame to begin with.
At moments like this I hang my head in shame that I call my self a singer/guitarist. My God our brother here has talent. So much soul. I praise God for the gift of music. I shall practice more and try to sing better. Perhaps one day I shall write a song like this and connect with others the way Justin Taylor does. Well sang man. alex
Lyrics need to be tightened up. If you could sing it a little deeper that would make it seem more heartbreaking. I think you want to try and convey a little more emotion with this song. Voice levels tend to become lower when someone is upset. It is a good start.
@sarahdaye1981 see...this is an example of constructive criticism, not something infantile like "this shyt is ghey". why can't more people comment on youtube stuff like you just did?
by the way, i'd have to disagree with the lower voice thing (for the most part). another vocal break or two might do the trick. the really, REALLY high part (2:20) kinda does break the "sad" feel of the song.
badass piece bud:) nice flow to the progression, good use and mix of several jazz and classical components. Very reminiscent of the early John Mayer pieces from back when he was just hitting the scene in Atlanta with his acoustic guitar, which is some of the finest work he ever did.
I can't even begin to say how much I appreciate this song. This perfectly describes something I just went through. I've never had a song explain so fully and so well what I wanted to say after my break up. Thank you for your talents!
You are the best new singer in the world today . Thanks , I´m so happy listenining your music .You can´t imagine it . I´m a musician too from Spain and your so deep and simple at the sime time and this is so dificcult . The best for you in your life . You deserve it . Thank you very much
hi Justine!you play the guitar really well and your voice is just the best partner of the song you just sang.I like the way your finger moves through the strings...hope ill be able to meet you in person and witness your beautiful gift...keep it up!
ahah YES. that's the one...for reference, because of the down thumbs I'm getting...I like the song and am in no way trying to diminish its credibility, it just sounded familiar on one part
The girl i wanted to be with moved on from me before i could tell her. So I missed my chance. God, I love her. God, this song reminds me of her so much. I've had this tune on my head all day.
All around perfectly great! Relatable Lyrics, molten melody and my favorite, the unexpected (keep them guessing) Chords. You get a great big 'BINGO' for this one.
