Lighter (Original Song) Acoustic guitar

[gijsforever]

Great song man! It's got a great dramatic sound.

G"s

[obdami]

This reminds me of that party scene in Animal House where John Belushi grabs the dudes guitar and smashes it on the stairs.

If I ever catch you playing this crap at a party, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

[balijam]

Love your lyrics, themes and your heartfelt performance! Fav and sub...

[bigbabyhoss]

YES!

[simplesonofagun]

[SuicideFriendly]

Great job man!

[Isodig]

Thanks bro

[Isodig]

Thanks my friend. I am going to write some less heavy songs. Maybe I can just be more obscure will do the trick.

[TeamCannabis]

So real,so true,so sad,what you've done here with this song is so good,Watch Again,Thanks Again!

[Isodig]

Hey Reg, thanks to you. I feel the same about The Message of yours. And a song I am working on has a couple of the same lines as your new song, and is themeatically very similar. It's uncanny, yet cool.

[stealurface1976]

nice bro...like this one man 5 *****

[Isodig]

Thanks Jesse :-)

[chewwinggum]

Very nice indeed! 5 stars for you

[Isodig]

Hey Chew! Thanks and I love your new vid. I love all your vids, but the new ones I haven't worn out yet. :-)

[edenmaze]

VERY NICE! 5 STARS! ☺

[Isodig]

Thanks bro. ☺ back at you!

[pintsizecatastrophe]

everything strikes me as working well together..your voice, the lyrics, and the accoustic all benefit eachother. it's refreshing to hear lyrics that have meaning, one that relates to the current day. awesome work!

[Isodig]

pintsizecatastrophe - your thoughtful comment are awesome :-) And we do live in interesting times, though it seems that information is, uhm.. thinned. Thanks!

[montomaniac]

great song bro!! love your voice and guitar playing!! 5 banger!

[Isodig]

Thanks Joe.. That's awesome coming from you one of the best voices on the tube. I appreciate it man.

[TeamCannabis]

You're a great songwriter and performer. It's truly a pleasure coming across these gems.Thanks for sharing your gifts. ♫ †ễą♫ĈẳħŊαβﺄ5* ♪ ♫

[Isodig]

Thanks again bro. I definitely appreciate the comments and that you appreciate the songs.

[Isodig]

Hey bro, haha... yep and the night on my side.

[Isodig]

Hey langesdenia, thanks bro - just needs a guitar lead like you do and it would be set..

[Isodig]

kalidescopeeye - hey man thanks :-)

[ccendana]

Good lyrics. Very charging and powerful. :) Good job!

[Isodig]

Thanks Chris, I appreciate it.

[patman2112]

The five star repeat trick doesn't work anymore... :o(

We use to be able to wait a few hours and click on the five stars again. Anyway Great song again!

Pat :o)

[Isodig]

Hey Pat, lol.. Yeah, I guess they checked one more off their 20000 book of outstanding bugs to fix on youtube haha. And thanks bro. :-)

[ChaseOmusic]

very powerful lyrics. "Blue collar angels" is such a great term, as are the lines "heroes full of holes" and "our heroes were heroes before they were sent". i thoroughly enjoyed this song.

[Isodig]

Thanks man, I am glad you like it.

[zneella]

cool song.very powerful.thanks

[Isodig]

zneella - Thanks back at you man.

[ParadiseEarth1]

The sadness comes through out of the subtleness of the fine lyrics.

Well-thought of work. I so dig it. *****

[Isodig]

Thanks bro, I actually was pounding it out harder but I think the softer does more.

[Isodig]

lol.. I don't know... that could be a sick time eater (unlike it is now lol).

[Isodig]

I think it's probably that they really don't question such things until they really start to seem important. But realistically, they are still not any more important then. Just distractions, or obsessions, which are probably valuable to have to keep sane.

[marywinmusic]

Hi Isodig, excellent opening lyric. It's a real attention grabber. I've got a few songs about sacrifice me self. It's a real inspirer among us songwriters eh? Five Stars on smooth guitar playing. I really like how you provided the lyrics in "sing-a-long" format. I enjoyed singing along : ) Cheers, ~Mary :D

[Malvasio]

great song, got me thinking, might post a video response

[Isodig]

Hey Mal, that's awesome and I hope you do.

[SiMoFkr]

Fucking hell man, you've still got my ass beat hands down haha 5 stars, would be 6 if I could manage it

[Isodig]

Hey thanks bro, glad you dig it and I appreciate the kind words man.

[Isodig]

You are right, I do try to keep an open mind. That said, my beliefs are based on my experiences, and I think it's important for people to not accept what they are told and taught, but to question their beliefs (because if they don't know why they believe what they believe, then the beliefs are not really their own, just implanted). Other than that, I try to avoid the big questions which have never been answered.

[Isodig]

Thanks.. Like I said, you do the same.. I think what we do here really makes us all better.

Thanks bro! i don't pay attention very much anymore, lol. Remember the good ol days "like amonth ago" when we used to get like 8 to 12 honors or something, lol. I wonder why they changed it up! Doh!, lol. Its nice to see the shows get some honors because it helps bring further exposure for the featured artist! You ROCK BROTHA!

[Isodig]

That selfless attitude is awesome bro.. But you really deserve the honors for your music itself. And lol at 'like a month ago'.. We are moving at youtube speed in youtube time...

[modernoracle]

HAHA! We were so much younger then too, LOL! Thanks man! I was a little suprised with the re-release turn out. What can we say? This is an awesome group we are part of and the support is awesome all round! Give and take. it's great!

[MikeHelmsMusic]

Very very strong on this one brother!! could almost cry just Reading the lyrics!!! lookin forward to a version with some Floydish keys/piano. and Electric fills..*****

[Isodig]

Thanks a bunch Mike. I am not sure I would know how to even start doing that. That's no reason not to I guess...

[Isodig]

Hey thanks - and I totally dig what you are saying.. Awesome. :-)

[Miker2]

sweet song bro.

[Isodig]

Thanks Mike, glad you like it man.

[Isodig]

True, but this isn't about light. It's about weight. The weight that causes heaven to float farther from us as the angels bleed out their souls trying to save us from ourselves. And still it's dark.

[Isodig]

Thanks bro, and well, it had to compete against Fergie and Miaarose and Duck Tales and Justin Timberlake Bringing Sexy back, lol.. If there was a Paris Hilton prison video this would get no play... ;-)

[BlinDman72]

Damn powerful song Isodig! Always dangerous to do a song which cuts so deep to the bone on such a contentious issue, but I think you'll get more support than you think with this one. Great lyrical content, and really well delivered man. You obviously feel strongly on this subject, and it sure comes thru! 5 here mate!

Dan:)

[Isodig]

Thanks Dan.. I am really not a political person, just tired of the pain caused by people acting like children. So I guess I am passionate about that it's time to grow up and act like people who deserve to be as we act.

[Isodig]

Thanks Dave.. I think I have a natural ability for the dark stuff even though I try to not to. And thanks for stars man. :-)

[Isodig]

Hey Paul, thanks so much man. Great comment too.

[Isodig]

lol, you know it doesn't work like that heh.. I'm glad you dig it man. Like I said.. I hope that what I put up inspires other people to do stuff that we can all dig. You definitely do that.

[Isodig]

Back atcha bro.

[Isodig]

Yep.. low4life.. Thanks man.

[Isodig]

[artgirlsreality]

LOL I loving smilin with MG!! I still can't bring myself to call ya my death. YOU ARE SO LIVIN my friend!

[Isodig]

I never liked that name either, lol. I think of him as that way cool dude that puts out awesome stuff, has a killer vibe going, and I don't know his name.

[artgirlsreality]

yea that's why I always call him MG. no worries isodig...just call him friend!

[Eddie629]

[sennennoki]

[Isodig]

[Isodig]

Thanks man. No capo this time.

[stealurface1976]

awesome brother!!

[Isodig]

Thanks Jesse, you are the man.

[vamosbabe]

Wow! Poignant (the word exists in English?) lyrics! After reading the description, I was expecting different lyrics, maybe more "personal" and then realized why you said "larger sacrifices, in the absence of that responsibility". A truely nice and humane song Isodig!

[Isodig]

Hiya VB.. I thank you deeply. I am also glad you got it.

[Isodig]

And also yes poignant does exist in English, but I am sure it sounds much better when you say it.

[classican]

Magnificent my friend!!!!

[Isodig]

Thanks bro!

[LeopardJoy]

Beautiful and heartrending, Isodig! Love the lyrics and your voice this a.m. (or p.m. wherever people are)... 5stars + FAVed. Best, Joy

[Isodig]

Thanks Joy, I am very glad you like it.. it was a few hours post meridian my time, according to youtube. I just wanted to say post meridian for some reason.

[LeopardJoy]

Well, it's 4:57 ante meridian here, as I read this. Just wanted to say ante meridian! lol

[4846steven]

[Isodig]

Thanks Henno, I appreciate it man.

[hoonfan3ed1975]

grear song bro

[Isodig]

Thanks James.

[mmcs122]

Really, really...GREAT song, Isodig! I'm listening a 2nd time right now. I love this phrase: 'for a hero to save today's heroes...'

[mmcs122]

(oops,I wasn't done yet... ;) Okay, listening a 3rd time now ;)

Do you write the lyrics first, then figure out the music, or write the music part first? You make it look so easy. (sigh...) I really like the guitar on this, esp. that last part (told you that yesterday, I know, but it bears repeating). Oh, just saw me in the description! Hey, No Problem. Anytime. I know you'd do the same for me. ;)

[Isodig]

On this one I had some imagery in my head of angels bloody and wounded trying to hold the world together in face of mankind's violence toward itself, and that as the violence escalates we are bleeding our angels dry and if we keep going there won't be the same weight to hold heaven in place and it float will farther away. So with that in mind, I kind of did the music and lyrics at once, revising as I went.

[Isodig]

Thanks M, and again thanks for the help. :-)

[CasualDaveDotCom]

excellent tune, really powerful

[Isodig]

Hey Dave, thanks man, I appreciate it.

[bobsaguitarist]

Wow thats got a deep message! Cool song dude! thats a big FIVE STAR SONG! *****

[Isodig]

Thanks a bunch Bob - I appreciate it. And the stars too. :-)

[artgirlsreality]

Isodig pumping them out my friend!!! Nice to see ya in action. I got get me a camera...AAAHHH another thing on my "to go list". Rock on! *****!

[Isodig]

Thanks Meg. :-)

[MonkeylessJohn]

Absolutely brilliant lyrics !!!! Great song !!!

[Isodig]

Hi John, thanks my new friend, I am glad you like it. And I wanna say again how much I love your Eva Cassidy cover.

[KrisShred]

Great song Isodig! Especially the strong lyrics.

Kris

[Isodig]

Hey Kris, thanks man. I don't see how you do all you do - over 1000 subs that you interact with, juggle the constant frantic attention from women all over the world, make videos that have huge amounts of time and care in them, and yet you have time to check out songs like mine and leave thoughtful comments. You really are like Robin Hood of YT. Except for the stealing part.

[KrisShred]

Oh, maybe I steal some women's hearts? ;) Thanks Isodig. I totally appreciate your very kind words! You're right, it's hard to stay tuned with all my subscriptions, especially finding the time to listen closely to a song and to the lyrics. Oh well, I try what I can. There's so much good musicians out here on the Tube ^^ I don't need no MTV any more, this is much better cuz here you'll find the <b>real</b> stuff ;) Keep it real and rocking in the free world! Cheers,

Kris

[edenmaze]

KRISSHRED: Alieshar does admit that you are Quite the HANDSOME and charming Man! LOL.... When you steal the womens hearts, do you EVER give them back?

lol. I agree with you 100%. The way the YOU and I and ISODIG and so many others are "KEEPING IT REAL" makes MTV useless. WE are pretty cool becasue WE keep it Real. Are there any musicians here on YT that you think "DON'T" KEEP IT REAL? If so, who would they be, I'm just curious! TAKE CARE!

GREAT VID ISODIG. 5 STARS!

[Isodig]

EdenMaze: Hey bro - thanks for the compliment on the vid, I am glad you like it. You can usually spot the ones that don't keep it real because they selfishly promote and really don't seem to care about the people that subscribe to them, in short, they lack respect for others. Some of them are talented and sound good, but the last thing they are is real.

[edenmaze]

That sounds a little too much like me.....

Have you been listening in on my private calls?

LOL....  TAKE CARE BROTHER!

[Isodig]

haha, I didn't mean to but they are being uploaded to youtube..

[Isodig]

Hey Kris clearly you are total player man. And well one big difference between MTV and YT is that there is actually music on YT, lol.. How do you highlight (bold) a word like that (the real stuff)? Alt-numpad characters?

[KrisShred]

You can use html code for that. <b>BOLD</b> works, <u>underlinded</u> and <i>italic</i> works too. Other html code doesn't, as far as I know. You can also use signs, with the ALT key and numpad [3] is for example a ♥ :D

[Isodig]

Awesome.. I used to know the alt codes pretty well from back in the beginning day of BBS-ing and stuff, like this one: ☺

[TheLastHumanOnEarth]

That could be a Pink Floyd song from a movie..

[Isodig]

Wow, what a compliment. At least for me - considering how huge a Floyd fan I am. Thanks bro.

[REDNECKPEPI64]

ciao bro,now i'm on the mountains and is not possible watch the video because the dsl connection is really low.when i return in my home your video is the first in my list.

pepi

[Isodig]

Ciao Pepi. No worries mate, I have totally loved your last few posts man.. Thanks so much.

[KIDiotequeA]

Great song. I think we can all agree with the sentiments there...reading through the lyrics again, has gotten me pretty emotional. Great stuff Isodig.

[Isodig]

Thanks KIDiotequeA. And I have to say that your passion for knowledge and truth has definitely had an effect on me. I may not agree with it all, but it does bring in to focus that all-too-easy-to-forget fact: we know much less than we think - and we don't think very much at all.

[uncledave10]

Nice tune Bro . 5/5 cool lyrics :o)

[Isodig]

Thanks UD.. Glad you like it man.

[uncledave10]

;o)

[TomsterMusic]

Oh my gosh.. for once I'm just speechless... staring at the comment box wondering what to say. I can't even find a word to describe this! Very inspiring and heartfelt.. just brilliant! Thank you SO much for sharing this with us.. we are so lucky to experience this song along with you!

ToM

[Isodig]

Wow, thanks Tom for that fantastic comment man- I appreciate it.

[doctorcastille]

f*****g Right on man!! You said it in a way that so many of us can only think it. Great song-great lyrics-great sentiment. Don't think you will lose subs. Hell...I even tried to subscribe AGAIN but YouTube wouldn't let me !!

[Isodig]

doctorcastille - Hey thanks Mike for the awesome comment. I am sure you know how it is to kind of hang yourself out there and hope they don't pull the lever. I am glad you like it.

[doctorcastille]

I know the feeling all too well. btw: i'm gonna try sending that mp3 mix again in just a bit.

[Isodig]

Thanks man. I expect to lose a sub or maybe a bunch over this tune, but I knew you wouldn't be one of them. And I agree. Safe and alive.

[billybrews40s]

awsome man 5 stars

[Isodig]

Thanks Billy bro.

[Isodig]

Nah.. Just got that YT addiction sleep deprivation going on. Happens to most of us over the weekend. The addicts can differentiate between stupid and stupor.

[Isodig]

Thanks Jerry. And thanks for your help man.

[dreaminglad]

wow heavy or not that was great

[Isodig]

Thanks Jody. I am glad you like it man.

[Eddie629]

Great song Isodig !..love the lyrics..' filling heaven full of heroes full of holes '..very cool..Nice work !5***** !!

[Isodig]

Hey Eddie, thanks bro, I definitely thought you would dig it and I am glad you do.

[coolanddark]

this is a great song!if they leave us alone we`ll leave them alone.we all want peace!!!great lyrics.

[Isodig]

Hey Dan, thanks. We do want peace. We want to think about our lives in our towns and not be pulled into global drama that we can't control or really understand. It's mental avarice to think we deserve to hate people we don't know.

[coolanddark]

we know they declared war on us,jihad.we cant defend ourselves?but were allowed to disagree in this country.i still like this song a lot bro.were pals.

[modernoracle]

Sounds great brother! Excellent lyrics! WHOOP! 5 bro!
