glass - johnnyOnline original

[jamieiiles]

That was cool and your guitar and voice sound perfect...for the bigger part on glass maybe try a stained glass concept you know different shapes~ some are broken like me and you...different colors but what can we do....I look threw ur eyes and I see right inside of you.....& when I put back the pieces It gives me a different view....u know stained glass how there all pieces of this great big puzzle that will make sense some day...

[WrongEnough]

love the song ... you also gave me inspiration with your "making a song" video :)

[XcXtrippyXcX]

Awesome, it does sound a tad bit like Seal's kiss from a rose though... xD

[Cogentesque]

I was thinking about doing something exactly the same and searched if anyone else had done something like that - yours is the best.

I am here in my dusky lounge in Southampton, curtains closed to shield unwanted views, speakers turned up to here your strings twanging, with my Guild GAD30RE on my lap plucking the wires along with your video. If you are ever down, let's jam :)

[picturesqueish]

This is awesome!! My songs take centuries and you created this in an hour...... Keep on rocking

[Frailpoignance]

wow sounds exactly like seal kiss from a rose ahaaaha.. melody and everything..

[azncoolz]

cool, i just started writing like this week haha,. This is an inspiration! What genre do you think this song would fit in?

[FROMAN1115]

Your amazing

[Aaron0141]

i wanna put this on my ipod

[Aaron0141]

i write a few songs myself

[Aaron0141]

wow i love this song

[JacobDavisBand]

love the lyrics, job well done ._.

[iheartunotreally]

Well that turned out to be a lot more awesome than I expected. Aweshum.

[insanityea]

Awesome dude! Good job! Keep writing. :)

[TrawrAria]

Wow. Thats amazing. Umm and excuse me, but why are you not famous? I would very much so love to but an album :D Thanks for the video, you have alot of talent. <3

[TaubiMonki6336]

DOOD!!

You are awesome!!

I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU KNOW BUT YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

[olin9999]

You did super great on this! I just have to say, I liked the more raw-while-still-educated vibe you gave when brainstorming the melody and weren't completely sure what you were going to do yet more than the finished product. Still, I very much did enjoy the finished product, and again, kudos!

[Hystericalbliss24]

hey dude... i may be a few years too late... but I LOVE YOUR SONG hahaha! :D

and am wondering if i could possibly cover it coz i really like it :)

would be muchly apreciated

thankyou

[Hystericalbliss24]

hey dude... i may be a few years too late... but I LOVE YOUR SONG hahaha! :D

and am wondering if i could possibly cover it coz i really like it :)

would be muchly apreciated

thankyou

[cristian9correa]

i cringe when u try to hit those high notes. I dunno, constructive criticism, u sound great, but dont try to hit high notes cuz it just sounds weird and awkward

[avecat97]

wow, this is better than i can ever do. i cant even write a song.

[sulfer52]

thats awesome im trying to write a song its my first song

[dragonslayerdom]

Cool chords you use

[JuSanDah]

this could easily pass as a lost Beatles song

[TheAwakendDreamer]

This is amazing



[sweetoliveoil]

This song is amazing, is it available on iTunes, because if it is I would buy it in a heartbeat(:

My favorite part is the second verse... the whole second verse:P

[Zerrith]

Not bad.. Reminds me of Coldplay.

[mspianogirl18]

Very nice!! I really want to write a song of my own... :) In time

[cdlabelsideilive]

dude i listen to metal, but that song i think is like accually good, like please replace all these bad artists, id way rather listen to this then that shitty song "bubbly" that comes on all the time

[johntygesen]

hey johnny

really really like your song!

can i please have the chords?

[iliveibreatheising]

thats cool..yeah i remember me and a friend wrote a song in 10 minutes...i wrote the lyrics and he wrote the music..it was pretty awesome. but if i try to write by myself it takes a REALLY long time..i can whip up lyrics easily, but the music is harder because im a perfectionist :) but this is good.

[skaplis]

actually really good.

[eschmitty]

impressive mate. What chords are you using Major 7th?

[Boosley88]

Very nice song...you remind me of Jason Mraz! Even the rythem, and the voice, and the guitar, and the lyrics...I dk, maybe Jason is your idol? I dk....all I know is I like your song and yeap, Jason mraz is one of my favorite artists! ^_^

[sourpatches123]

i really like this song

[HateLoveApathetic]

that was BEAUTIFULL! u inspired me to write my own song... :)

[Harrytheguy]

This is still one of favourites, I think it deserves a proper recording? Ya know ya wanna!

[pointypencil1]

Bravo!!! You are truly inspirational!

[PianoXxRobin]

I listened to this song a while ago.. and somehow it kept in my mind all the time.. so I youtubed it today again and I have to say: I love it! The melody, lyrics, voice.. the song just remained in my head for soo long!! It has got to be a good one then, right?

[csrfieldtech]

You are magnificent!!!! I wish I could write at all. You never fail to amaze me.

Thanks, have a happy Christmas!

[I86COW]

damnnn, how do you come up with that in one hour. thats crazy. props man, 5 stars.

[blues2oo]

That fucking song wasn't rubbish actually it was pretty good. It's been nearly 2 weeks and I'm still stuck with the chord progression and the rhythm. (I'm not satisfied with the progression I got) And I'm haven't work the lyrics or the melody yet. Man! I wish I could do it as easily as you.

[ccsitaround]

this is a great idea--hope you do more like it/thanks

[Shmellowchris]

this is great man. imma big fan of ur stuff.

[LFDIII]

i can spend weeks...(probably longer) and it would be nowhere near as good as this...it was awesome!

[starecky23]

wow that was really good

[c4shFan]

[holuc08]

The song sounds John Mayer-ish... Good job, by the way!

[buttcrack96743]

i agree totally

[buttcrack96743]

haha i've watched way more than you man. ha i have no life

[gammypage]

I also like this channel coz I've finally found someone who's watched almost as many videos as I have hehe =D

[gammypage]

SUBSCRIBED! =D

[lvincentl7]

love the chorus man

[dcfrmhb]

You are a fucking genius, even though you look disinterested.

[StarGazer2188]

You are one of only two people on all of YouTube to whom I subscribe. I really enjoy your work, man.

[ilikepie2398]

actually if you count him talking and choosing the title its less than an hour btw this one is for johnnyonline great vioce

[Glitches0and0stuff]

I watched the clock in your last one and it took you 1 hour 15 mins to learn this. thats amazing!

[johnnyonline]

well.. 1 hour to write it. 15 minutes to learn it. but who's counting? haha.

i'm sure a lot of the worlds best songs were written in 5 minutes.

[Glitches0and0stuff]

Probably. I do think this is your best song.

[streetmatt]

i think let it be or yesterday was written dead quickly melody wise anyway and in the end they called in scrambled eggs or summat cos they couldn't think of any good lyrics lol.

[notasimplesimon]

yeah thats how writing songs seems to go. you look like john hodgeman and ben gibbard. you sing king of like him but nr. i like your voice, and the song it sounds like acoustic inde except like the melody and chords remind me of like... seal haha.

[mcfendur]

yeah...for instance half of the Beatles records =P

[9PRELUDE2]

BRILLIANT!

[tappakegga2010]

man... amazing.. like im a drummer and sum months ago i decided to take on guitar.. it didnt go so well as it did when i started drumming so my guitar just sat there... but u inspire me to pick it up and keep at it.!!! thanks

[sushi2889]

i watched your 10 min video ( i had nothing better to do lol) and i can see u are so very talented ! thank you for sharing !!

[marples1973]

can you tell me the chords i need for school project plz =)

[johnnyonline]

i don't remember.. or more to the point.. i don't actually know the chord names. but if you watch the 1st video.. you can see me write it and work out the chords!

[picturesqueish]

@johnnyonline This is incredibly late and irrelevant but I'm pretty sure the chords are C major 7, D major 7 and E major 7 in barre chord form :) I love major 7 chords and my songs tend to be filled with them so their pretty easy to identify...

[olicc]

This needs to be featured.

[irockdudeoo7]

Awesome...hey can you replay to this with the chords please?

[charlee2552]

You just keep getting better and better all the time ... lyrics, music and vocals!!

[Prafeston]

I think this just may be my favorite song you've done...and it only took you an hour to write both music and lyrics...not bad!

[cookiekath]

wow

[babywiththebathwater]

The bridge where you play really fast is nice. I do not like the last chord though.

[mathers13]

i like your music man..

keep it up

[elykoko]

thats great, reminds me of kiss from a rose by seal, because of the whole major/minor progression :) loved it :)

[chmurkleby1]

johnny, you're just amazing. if it was written in one hour from a randomly chosen title, then you have to be one of the gratest youtubers ever;)

[lagriff]

wow you have a nice voice and touch on guitar my friend. Thank you to subscribe to my channel.

[johnnyonline]

thank you, but not a patch on your amazing guitar skills sir. i have an SS10 just like yours, that's how i found your videos.

[olicc]

I hate you (not really) for being so talented. You're brilliant.

[olicc]

Is there a way I can buy or have an MP3 of this track?

[imthehuman]

Not bad Johnny. Your originals are awesome. =)

[bleed0range]

I guess I should have also said... "nice song." lol. It's very good, especially for just one hour.

[Windbush]

Fantastic, beautiful lyrics, I'm impressed!

Gief album! :-P

[bleed0range]

In my head... I kept wanting you to hit the word "fast" in falsetto. Ya know, go higher?

[richagen]

sounds good

[alieo01]

hehe I always love your stuff, I think this is prolly the best of all your songs I have heard.

thanks for blessing with us with audio heaven :D

[glenwatts123]

6 honors :O way to go!

[songsbymikedotnet]

very good song. esp for having been written in one hour! showoff! ;P (j/k)

[xmrbojanglesx]

Amazing stuff, great talent.

[encinitasmel]

very nice, great sound

There is so much great talent on You Tube! Support Independent Musicians .. click, listen, rate, comment and then subscribe ... Thanks!

[streemguitar]

Nice but probably too similar to Gavin Degraw's song "glass" lyrically. and musically similar to John Mayer's "St. Patrick's Day"

[jod10]

I don't think so at all. The lyrics aren't similar to Gavin Degraw's " Glass." Johnny song is also much better.

[johnnyonline]

i don't know any gavin degraw... but you might be right about the mayer chords.

[H2TheChrizzle]

I envy your talent! 5*

[joseluisdevezas]

Great song, man! GREAT SONG!

[Alyaziah]

we are all made of sand..

[jonlevesquemusic]

interesting, i watched u write it, i'm not sure if i like the chorus but the verses are very good. keep it up.

[nikkocarlocayaga]

You look like my friend here in college. Are you asian??

[godofthesunn]

no australian

[johnnyonline]

half indo.. half aussie

[kryptic99999]

I'm half indo half aussie too!

Keep up the good work man. I really love watching your vids...

[nikkocarlocayaga]

That's cool =D I'm Asian lol

[ThoughtScientist]

you must get this question a lot lol

[randy0987]

wheh you mean 'half indo', what does that mean?

half native austrailan, or half east indian??

nice song, good lyrics esp for being written in one hour

[dontnudge]

half australian and half indonesian

[MCycle07]

i never noticed the whole clock thing until I read one of the comments but that's a really neat idea. And a new johnnyonline original so soon? Nice job man, keep it up.

[LoserDude28]

WOW!!!! Johnny, this is the best song I've heard in a long, long time.  I love inspiring songs such as this. This is by far the best work I've seen you do and I'm deeply impressed! Thank you so much for inspiring me to continue my musicianship -- I hope you continue to create amazing originals like this!!!!

[DashHopes]

Nice! Very Nice!!

[tzsch83]

awesome song. this is classic johnnyonline. great job!!

[nichelle27]

loved it!

[ActionMirror]

That was WELL GOOD!!!...

[Lawlzz09]

nice song..gj =]

[frank2982]

Filming infront of a clock gave away that you edited it a bit. The length of the video is 3:12 but the minute hand moved atleast 5 minutes from start to end. Although, I thought the clock added to the video though cause it was a sad sounding song and the way the hands were placed looked as if the clock was frowning.

[CJG90]

yea u can see it at 1:43. awesome song nonetheless.

[johnnyonline]

haha.. that was the intent of the clock.. so you could see the edits. i played the song a few times and cut together the best takes of each part. that's how most of my videos work. but nobody ever asks me about it. so i left the clock in this one.

[frank2982]

haha yeah. I've noticed the cuts before but there was no hard proof evidence of it. Nothing wrong with it. Sorta makes it more fun to watch to see any weird things while getting to listen to your music. And that's the main reason I sub to you. Your music. It's something I wish (and other probably) they could do but we can't so we just enjoy it when you do it.

[BostonBWW93]

lol. that was the deepest explination of why a clock was in the background i've ever heard. nice.

[insidethemusicbox11]

i wish i could write songs. period.

to know that you wrote this in an hour is crazyness.

[IChoseTheRedPill]

nice

[poica1]

It feels like a song that would never be released as a single, but that nerdy fans would love and say was their favourite due to its relative obscurity.

Release a damn album.

[PlutonicTeacup]

Johnny, that was lovely. Thank you so much.

[onelastks928]

you make me happy. I love it

[KIRKIN2112]

Such perfection! Awesome John! The lyrics are epic!

[killerclair]

simply beautiful.

[mrsmiller105]

that was pleasant :) awesome lyrics!

[Psykotiskemavesmerte]

great job johnny! There's something about this song I really really love=]

[dmy986]

very good! it has a cold playish john mayer feel.

[nikkocarlocayaga]

cold and alone with the shards at your feet :(

[nrcha]

well done :)

[cqwc]

johnnnaayyyy!! you're improving your chord progressions and vocal melody with every coming video.

[nikkocarlocayaga]

So we are two hours advance lol.... Its 10:35 here!

[nikkocarlocayaga]

That's really good! I thought it's going to be a mess but I was wrong. =D
