Tommy Emmanuel - Ruby's Eyes

[JRHartly1984]

Beautiful piece.

[laufke]

believe me or not but songs with this concert are different you can see it from his face. In here he is 100 percently connected with his guitar and in addition he is really calm. Tommy himself said that one day you can play like a master and one day you can play like a fool - off course tommy never plays like a fool so you can never know when he is in "highest shape" but I think this concert he was at his best in this case..

[blah9676]

@satrionic Along with many other instrument such as the harp and violin, both of which contradict your terms

[blah9676]

@satrionic1 That was a pretty stupid comment, Mozart played a piano and that IS A STRINGED INSTRUMENT. The hammers inside hit steel strings. I myself love Tommy and his music and enjoy learning it but could not possibly compare him to the likes of mozart, except for the fact they were both child prodigys to begin with.

[satrionic1]

How can someone make such a perfect music. Tommy is the Mozart of steel string. YOUR SONGS DESTROY MY SOUL :(

[aendaltsev]

I want be happy like him. This is every man need. Be happy like that man.

[Waldstein65]

Even my guitar understand, that i can not play like Tommy....but they play Ruby's Eyes when i am sleeping. Wonderful Instruments :-) thank u guitar-whisperer Tommy

[abaer65]

thats tommy. an alien ...the best ever...

[abaer65]

Woooooooonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[MALALAKAY]

this is my imagination of music

[garfinorbit]

then 1 people who dislike it, i don't know the fuckin reason why someone did that

[ikjnbfgfrcgh]

It's a lullaby..

[guitarinspired]

incase u all didn't know. this song is about the little girl that he met when he was sitting in the airport while playing his guitar with his eyes closed. when he opened his eyes he saw this little girl staring at him and started singing with the melody while swaying left to right. and then tommy asked her parents who is right across the other side of her name and they say "ruby" and tommy said "well Ruby, i just wrote you a song" :)

[mindlesscoolguy789]

@guitarinspired 100% correct i was there (in kl though0 and thats exactly wat he said

[grekey]

heartstopping!

[MatsVed]

My girlfriend listens to Justin Bieber, but this is something else...

[FullMoonCreep]

My boyfriend is getting tommy to play this for me tomorrow night in Glasgow. CAN'T WAIIT!!!!

[RaptorJMR]

@musztarda00 why?

[musztarda00]

@RaptorJMR

This was about tragedy in Smolensk.

[Musclecar1973]

Whoever disliked this is a just a bastard that's jealous because he'll never have even a fraction of the talent Tommy's got

[GlassEyes8]

@Musclecar1973 Don't get personal, there is three reasons why. 1) It's the internet, people do things here regardless of their own belief or reasoning which is why having decent contact to strangers is a rarity. 2) They accidentally hit it, happens to the best of us. 3) For personal reasons they didn't enjoy it, maybe stumbled here by accident or think it's weaker than his other material. Anyway I love this tune and the story behind it makes it all the better. Great song Tommy.

[beaudparker]

ONE OF THEM THINGS

[Fligis]

I remember when I was at his concert and he played this song.. I almost cried from this beauty.. I'm just speechless to express how beautiful this song is..

[GuitarChris97]

I think he made this song for a child he saw at the airport.

[Gnarlycardz]

yep

[KattenKrister]

Yes. He says on the Center Stage CD: "I like to play a very new song for you, and this is a song that I wrote at the airport, in my hometown of Melbourne Australia. I met a little girl there, and I asked her mother: 'Whats your Daughter's name?' She said 'Ruby' and I said: 'Ruby, I just Written you a song. And here it is: Ruby's Eyes."

That just make it even more beautiful!

[mattisbig45]

cant be any better than this. i`ve just found a new place for my guitar...in the fire

[punishr36]

@mattisbig45 I hear you man,, I've decided to learn how to play the coffee table.

[beaudparker]

[thavador]

[dljrp]

Excellent camera work. Thanks for posting.

[Grockle1345]

Stunning tune... I've listened to this tune so many times and it gets me every time. I'm sitting here now almost in tears... just raw passion. What phrasing, who needs words in a song. Just brilliant, thanks Tommy!

[IgorGuittar]

Tommy Emmanuel Rules~

[xmo22]

[fretsonfire75]

Google ultimate guitar and find it on there. It's there, I'm learning it now.

[subakuryu]

This guy, is THE best! I swear, he's the Gene Kelly of guitar. He just pours it out of his heart, honest and simple. There's only so few guitarists that can or have come close to him!

[johved]

he is the Tommy Emmanuel of guitar

[vitalyach123]

Tommy and Emmanuel are two best player on the world!

[mabroussardii]

what?

[vitalyach123]

Je dobře že jsem vás všechny pobavil svou nedokonalou angličtinou, ale teprve se učím. Chtěl jsem jen vyjádřit, že Tommy a Emmanuel jsou dva nejlepší hráči na světě. Příště to bude lepší:) free translation: i just learning english, tommy is the best guitar player.

[mabroussardii]

Ok - please, what language is that?

[vitalyach123]

czech language, why? do you like it?

[joonhwex]

COOOOOOOLLL =]]]]

[binarycloud]

;-) Cieszę się że nasi bracia Czesi też doceniają to, jakim geniuszem jest Tommy. Pozdrowienia z Polski! Glad to see that so many people feel that Tommy is a real gem and musical genius.

[twixter22]

mabroussardii not what? i think u meant WTF!!!!!! lol

[johved]

?!?

[xmo22]

yes idd but Emmanuel is better lol...

[GaBrY59]

The most beautiful thing of Tommy is that when he plays make me dream, and sometimes also cry a bit... His songs are full of love for the poetry that he can make with the guitar.

Beautiful!

[madzia1508]

Tommy is the best guitarist in the world :) !!!!!

I love this song ...!! :)

[luvlybaby01]

i swear.

this brings a tear to my eye.

i like it so much.

[johved]

ruby not rubby:P

[Lynduh47]

I'm so impressed with how much the love the of music is in his face. What a consummate artist!

[markgalloway]

What a great song. Tommy usually tells the story behind the song in concert. He was playing the song in an airport when a little girl started singing along. He asked, "What is your name?". She said "Ruby". He said, "Ruby, I've just written you a song". It's Ruby's Eyes by the way.

[NEEDHELPsorta]

Yeah, it's just awesome when he tells it in person, and then he plays the song.

It's too bad all of the microphones and cameras can't really bottle what it's like to hear him play.

But it's still amazing.
