  • Amazing i loved it! I just got my heart broken so bad from this boy who said he liked me but this song helped me get over him. thanks =)

  • This is so about my lovelife...*subscribes* because you mister are amazing!

    Also this song just proves it again...you don't have to be gay to relate to this, just human.

  • Thats it. I'm subscribing.

  • i'm doing my job as a fan and giving those negative votes extra thumbs downs.. watch out haters..

  • I don't have shoulders.. just saying..

  • YOU'RE AWESOME!!!! You're going to make a big difference for the gay community!! Ily jay Brannan:)

  • ur rubbish

  • @palmer704 "I cannot get over it...get over yourself." If you can identify who and what "it" refers to in your statement, you'll understand your folly and hypocrisy. Hint: It's not Jay. Find a mirror.

  • you are splendid!

  • My favorite jay song. :)

    p.s your body is perfect the way it is. :)

  • I have been completly out of the "good music loop" evidently! i discovered this yesterday and have downloaded every possible song in itunes! I am in love!

    Ashesane

  • you have a beautiful voice jay. thank you for watching and listening to my dinky video on here, and i will most definitely continue checking out your videos because i think you're really talented. i'm glad there's innocence to your sound, and your falsetto is extremely lovely as well as pure.

  • looks like there's a lot of smoke in this room jay...

    thats wrong..

  • Bang tidy (y)

    I love this song =P

    Your mint haha.

    x x

  • Again, your words are so well chosen. It exactly describes what i feel right now. I'm heartbroken, it hurts like hell. panic/sadness attacks. thank you for being so talented and sharing your gift with the world. xo

  • i love ur music so i downloadin the cd. it is fuckin great and i cant get enough of it and u.

    U are fucking fit. i love ur body and u should 2. Danny x

  • you're amazing.

  • prety sure you wont read this, but any ways good job man, its good to see people doing things with the talent that they have.

  • What? He's not wearing a shirt?

    Fuck! I was distracted by his gorgeous voice and personality! Damn... I need to start paying attention.

  • I didn't listen to this song until recently (a few months ago...) and I love it! Not only does the music string along in itself, with sentences running into each other, a little enjambment going on there haha. But I also like the message, especially since there's no malice towards the person the song is directed towards. Of course, unless you count the flake epidemic, and the rest of that stanza, but I don't count that as malice...it's more...factual? I don't know.

    Anyways - great song!

  • Congratulations Samoons!

    You have just revealed that you are an uneducated angry little turd to the world! In the future when you set out to spread hate it would be so much more effective if you used the correct spelling of whatever slur you feel is right for the particular situation. For your future posts I would suggest using a dictionary to help you spread your hate in a more effective manner. When you get your dictionary look up the words "overcompensation" and "closet-queen". Good Luck :)

  • @samoons Sucking dicks > not knowing how to spell.

  • plEASE COME TO cALGARY, ALBERTA

  • Agreed you should

  • how do you do it ? time and time again !

  • Wow Jay! This song is TOTALLY my life!! I love it!! Thanks! :)

  • All your songs are awesome, but this one is one of my favorites. You are awesome.

  • anyone know the tabs/chords for this song?!?

  • i just started watching criminal minds, and jay, you look scarily like Spencer Read (Matthew Gray Gubler). That mix of innocence and sass, even more than any physical similarities.

    Keep up the good work man- you rock!

  • stunning.. right into my heart.. sad but beautiful!!

  • ahh-mazingg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! your absolutely beautiful sweetie (inside&out) keep up the good work && keep the shirt off :) haha

  • how does it go?

    "Head, shoulders, knees and toes (knees and toes)!"

    I love your voice, and your lyrics (those especially) ur really amazing!

  • This is my favorite song you've ever written and I hope you know I listen to this video, VERY often.

    So thank you for writing it.

    I love you. Come to LA. <3

  • I don't have shoulders.... I'm not letting it go!!!!!

  • you write my life. great song.

  • i love ur songs and i think ur hot

  • Jay, you and your songs are simply amazing! Loved them all!

  • beautiful.

  • man I love this song, especailly the pre-chorus

  • hahas shoulders! your song, their lyric's like words from a diary. beautiful meaningful and private yet appealing and so touching.

  • Where did you come from? Your songwriting is brilliant -- clever, powerful, emotionally sophisticated -- and your voice is a delight to hear, especially as you play with pauses and breaks. I'm so happy that your album is out, although I've probabably bored my family and neighbors by playing it so much. PLEASE come to DC and do another show!

  • hey guess what?! I HAVE SHOULDERS! i love you jay.

    in my top 3 for favorite songs from the new album :)

    love love love

  • Beautiful song!!! You have a beautiful voice and a real talent for writing songs!! :-) Your awesome!

  • Shoulders are okay dude.

    The song is awesome!

  • wow ur songs are amzing i know i've only just decided to comment on ur song now but like u really are a true artist and i hope u continue to write meaningfull songs like this in the future, i really admire your songs because you can tell it tells a story in your life :) plz write more i luv ur songs!!

  • Very nice...

  • What is everyone's problem coming here leaving hate comments? Ive never seen so many on Jays page before. Jay is one of the most HUMBLE musicians/singers ive ever came in contact with. Go harrass someone who deserves it and leave Jay alone. Were all here to enjoy his (amazing) music and dont want to have to shuffle through the remnants of you people not having a productive life. Thanks.

  • Yeah, great... but at least you could have put on pants....that's embarrassing!

  • Good job man, continues doing good things like this.

  • I was impressed with your short role in Shortbus but I had no idea how amazing your voice truely was. You remind me of Jason Mraz but with your own uniqueness. Beautiful song I do admit. I hope you check out my videos.

    ~Mike

  • I absolutely adore you and your songs and I just really hope you find true happiness one day x

  • i like his song

  • omg i love you without a shirt on hehe i think your so sexie!

  • yes. yes he is. You have a problem with that?

  • Then why are you watching the video?

  • If you have gay friends, then why do you care about how 'fruity' Jay is? Having gay friends would lead me to imagine that you have no problems with gay people, but you clearly do.

    And if you're not watching it, then why do you keep coming back here? Why not just not reply?

    And by the way, in case you haven't noticed (point in case: username), I'm a female. And a perfectly straight one at that.

  • First, you keep using the word 'fag'. The demeaning fashion in which you use it is offensive.

    Second, if he's so "fruity", then not watching the video would solve the problem. But then you say you're NOT watching the video. I can only conclude that you have nothing better to do, and that you're petty.

    And as it's your CHARACTER that is in question, I'm just going to stop responding now; I can't change your personality over the internet. Congratulations, you "have the last word."

  • @psychowoman jay is pretty fruity but whats funny is all these homophobes keep watching cuz he's HOTTTT .. if he was a fruit he'd be a plantaine

  • @lancerooke You're pretty sound in everything you say except for the whole it's nauseating part. To actually be physically or emotionally disturbed because someone exhibits effete qualities in their speech and demeanor might represent a lack of intestinal fortitude regarding your own tolerance, no?

  • 'we all have shoulders' couldnt agree more :P but still, people find it sexy! so .. 2 positive things about me.. youre pleasing women and yeh also 1 out of 10 men.. if it isnt more :O.. and you help yourself to be lazy sparing yourself the energy of finding a shirt.. good times mate! =D

  • You so need to record this song! As great as it is that it's my display video (easy access rocks) I want to put it on my i-pod. Definitely my favourite!

  • This is my new favorite of your's, I had forgotten how amazing it really is.

    Speaking of amazing, last night's show at the Troubadour was awesome! Thank you so much for making the trip out to LA again!

  • The melody of the pre-chorus is so great! The whole song's great! I love how your song's sad and cheerful at the same time!

  • ...i have shoulders

  • YEAH DON'T CARE ABOUT the dress, just care on music man! five stern

  • i love the pre-chorus, lyrically and every way otherwise

  • Wow

  • Brilliantly talented... I look forward to more!

    Best wishes!!!

  • i was wondering if you could possibly write this song down for me. i would love to learn how to play it.

    I not to good at reading dots, so tab would be great if you have the time.

    thanks kris

  • This is my favourite of all your songs. By far. I think I've played it like 200 times today, literally. I've become obsessed. It's a little wordy which makes it a little harder to sing along but I like a challenge. Love it! By the way, you're clearly gorgeous! Quit criticising your body! :D

  • Very Impressive! Love the lyrics and the music, as well. I can tell you sing from the heart, and your story is well told. Just subscribed yesterday, but plan to stay that way! Wonderful stuff.

  • Good job man, continues doing good things like this. OK. sayonara my friends.

  • great job

  • Never pay any mind to the people who say you should wear a shirt.

    The shirtlessness suits your style. It is so like your style of music, really raw and vulnerable. You should never wear a top when you sing.

  • Jay, I think this is my favorite :-) (((hUgS))) ~bruce~

  • You shouldn't worry about not wearing a shirt...its your video that you are taking the time to make...so fuck the haters. I love your music by the way...ever since I first heard Soda Shop in Shortbus

  • Same here. I've been a fan ever since

  • attitude! love it jay. beat those assholes up with ur guitar.

  • :D Can't wait for your album... when is it coming? :)

  • Oh my god! He's right! I have shoulders!

    I <3 this guy. Jay, you're fuckin amazing.

  • i like the song it was good

  • Beautiful...reminds me of when I used to see Tracy Chapman perform in small clubs before she got famous. Oops - I guess I'm showing my age :-(

  • Jesus, I think I'm in love.

  • i love u i seriously tink i am ur biggest fan and im proud to announce it ur so creative i love you!!!

  • Such interesting guitar playing in every song.

    I haven't seen many musicians play like you. It's great.

  • i love this song and the staccato guitar chords. you have a beautiful voice, and good for you for debuting #2 folk on itunes! i wish you the best of luck with your film/music career- you truly deserve to make it. and don't put on a shirt just because people want you to. it's really a stupid thing to complain about.

  • don't put any shirt on, that makes you so special :)

    and keep talking...

    cheers

  • your voice is beautiful

  • I love the city noises in the background, it actually really compliments the songs!

  • lol yeah we love your shoulders!

  • wow u are so talented!! i lov this song!!!

  • the thing that come across is your humility. That is star virtue!!

  • This is fantastic.

    Great tune - love the title.

    Good stuff.

    Shoulders? Shocking! never seen such a thing. Don't have em myself.

    Robb

  • oh jay. i cannot watch you speak without breaking into a huge grin. "they're just shoulders... you all have em... we all have shoulders."

    thanks for being a happy spot in my horrible day.

  • Great song. Search in youtubr MANUEL VARGAS (Disco 45) and you will see an honoring to this one and others hits of these years.

  • Musicaly not my favorite, but I love the message. =]

    --sarah

  • I can't help that I wanna see you again... killer line. simple but so beautiful. I feel the same : "I can't help that I wanna see you again!!!"

  • oo! This is definately my favorite of your songs. they are all great, but this is VERY FOLK and VERY CATCHY! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • love it!

  • nice job...i like it good voice...i envy your ability to play guitar too...great job! :)

  • WOW!! I really like this song. I came across it by accident somehow. You are wonderful. I like watching guys play the guitar and I would say you have to be the best I have seen. You have a wonderful voice and you play incredibly as well. It would be nice to have a guy (boyfriend) play and sing me a song.

  • You are soo amazing!! hehe Ive already bought the album :) I think string-a-long song is one of my favorite songs right next to Soda Shop! Thanks for putting your songs on youtube! keep it up!

  • Last chorus is really good! Too bad you're not reading the comments anymore. Hope you still read your mails... Take care.

  • Interesting, it will help me to understand your song. In case, you sang a song to yourself. Haha...This is a peacefully song, I guess you could take a lot of patient to sing it. :-)

  • I adore your music, I really do. Your lyrics are beatiful and clever, your guitar playing tasteful and your voice is wonderful; I feel I can just relax when listening to you, as opposed to people who have a tendency to sing a bit out of tune. I hope this comment makes sense, since english isn't my first language.

    Much love to you!

    hahha, i can't wait to see you succeed!

  • I really love this song. Most of it flows really well, except the beginning of chorus 1 is a little disjointed, but that's okay. This is now one of my favorites of yours. Also, I like how you talk at the beginning, it helps us get to know you better. I also don't mind you having your shirt off. Who cares? Plus, you're cute. You look good with your shirt off. Keep up the great work! You're really going places!

  • i LOVE how you talk at the begginning of videos!!!
