[rickydickypants]

[stxguy]

This has to be, hands down, one of my favorite songs. The passion in it's words makes this so beautiful. Clean and not afraid to be straight forward. THANKS!

[rickydickypants]

you, sir, are too kind. thank you so much and stay tuned for other videos.

-rec

[Dusterz]

This is my favorite video. Probably my favorite song. You get to these points some times where I realize that you are telling these stories of epic proportion, that journeys are taken in your playing. I get stuck. I love when I feel/hear those qualities in your work.

[rickydickypants]

wow. dusty. woah. you actually just touched me... and all this time i thought you were a heartless douche bag. just kidding :) - but seriously though, thank you so much for those beautiful words. they mean more to me than you probably know.

[BradleyVoorheesMusic]

Gosh you're cute... and have great guitar and singing skills! And your lyrics are wonderful! Offer still stands as I put on your other video :-)

"Its getting harder to write a song but I do it anyway" is something I might say, or may have said lol.. I dunno... I release an average of 6 albums a year, and produce for 3 other artists hahaha! You're great Richard!

[rickydickypants]

danke baby!

[Painislife28]

i love your art

i bought your album off itunes and i dont regret it one bit

so heartfelt

someone with that much beauty and talent needs to be appreciated

[rickydickypants]

:) this comment made me smile. and i'm hung over a little, so thanks. haha. since you are a paying customer of wollenberg records i'll make you one of the first to know... i'm releasing a free album for download on my website next month. :) a project i shelved for about two years. see keep your eye out, and again thanks.

[Painislife28]

haha you just told the whole world.

one quick question, when are you gonna come to new york to perform?

[mishalmooremusic]

still think this is one of your bests! got it on my ipod...bless.

[rickydickypants]

girl, you're too much. you are my muse and my goddess. a true inspiration. a million kisses.

[joshuawinn]

well I like the whole song really, it's just a very familiar feeling that I miss, it's a long story, but yeah. But if I had to pick one part that fits, it would be "Everyone knows that I'm sort of a failure, when it comes to matters of the heart. I try so hard, I fall apart so frequently..what keeps me together is the idea of a new start."(and basically everything after that haha)My ex is still a huge part of my life and we're still best friends and she's the one person who still gives me hope.

[rickydickypants]

consider it on the list of things to do... :)

[smokehighgrade]

aw richard i love this song

[rickydickypants]

LIVING for your video. it's like drag, but better because you're actually singing! that flower in your hair and the uke... too much. seriously, i think i'm in love!

[joshuawinn]

seriously? awesome! haha I do have a request again actually, man I feel so needy. lol One of my favorite songs of yours that I've actually covered before is "Unsure Waters" I love the lyrics and harmonies and yeah, I just feel like, even though circumstances may be different the lyrics are still able to make me feel like I can relate. This is just a request though, so you don't have to do it lol, but I'll be watchin' every week to see what you'll post next. later man.- j

[rickydickypants]

unsure waters, workin on it. :) what lyric in the song do you relate to the most?

[joshuawinn]

aw Richard, you did the song I requested. I know you didn't do it 'cause of me but I don't care I'm still just as happy. You don't need anyone to tell you you're talented, but I'm going to anyway, I've been listening to you forever and I just think that you're passion for everything is awesome. Anyway catch ya later man, great job once again. -j

[rickydickypants]

believe it or not i did do this song because you requested it. ;) i kept reminding myself that you had asked for it, so every time i sat down to make a video that was the song that came up. i'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for all your kind words of praise, keep posted as i'll be adding a new song every week. :) any other requests?

[resvrdog]

THIS IS THE SONG! A strong contendeer for my fave Cortez joint. A great hook, great lyrics, heartfelt vocals. When I'm driving back to the house, slowly coming down after another great Richard Cortez show, this is the song that carries me home.

[rickydickypants]

thank you! thank you! thank you!

[usfboi]

soo wonderful, richard!!

James from Tampa

[portugueseblues]

[rickydickypants]

[deityofcereals]

A great version of this song, which will always for me be the Original Richard Cortez.
