This is my favorite song on your album.

Beautiful,beautiful,beautiful.

It's special to me because it basically describes a situation that is happening in my life. This song has helped me through some tough days.

Thanks for being amazing =)

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

Thanks so much! Means a lot. :)

[heyyyitsthatONEgirl]

[awesomenerdfighter]

This is soooo good! I especially love the first few lines. Keep up the great work!

[almostcrime49]

[JesusLovesYou2317]

I can't tell you how much I come to like your music. You are talented and in all honesty, I have never seen someone with an accent such as your, sing so well. (Forgive me I am American lol) I will absolutely buy your cd(s). I cannot wait to hear more.

[tyedyefire4u]

amazingly, wonderful song :)

[landbamirum]

You really do write good songs! I like the lyrics, five-bar phrase lengths, your phrasing and rhythm, the inventive rhyming (permit/admit/shit) and the sheer musicality of it all.

[zzxxxlll]

i really love your music, im gonna buy your cd

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

Thanks a lot! =)

[makjpa]

i forgot how amazing you are

:)

[smilingstorm13]

you are my new favorite person.

[ohheyerin]

I adore this song!

[Maitechu122]

cool song! XD

[amanduh111112]

wow man you are amazing! great voice to compliment the acoustic. i love it...keep it up!! next time i save up some money, it'll go towards this album :)

[amanduh111112]

and i mean complement lol

[TinaWantsToRoar]

Spelled it right the first time - compliment.

[amanduh111112]

noo compliment is a verb. the other complement means to enhance something.

[MousketeerMaiden]

This is my favorite song by you :]

[prtyponi]

i swear, i've replayed this like 10 times already! :D

[keithzworld]

This is amazing Dave, your awesome man:)

[zexyxroxas]

gah, if i wasn't broke {college sucks} i would buy this album.

[ossiejo]

I love this song.

Your hair is hot.

[ashleekiss]

this song is so sweet

[R4cjj2]

nice harmonic at the end! :]

I'd buy your cd but i havn't got money right now.. :[

[MyShowbizName]

I like your album muchly. The one about going back to Liverpool reminds me of the end of the last episode of friends. It has a nostalgic quality. I like that x

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

Thanks love. x

[beccas87]

You are amazing =]

Seeing/hearing you like this makes me think my decision to not sell my guitar and keep learning how to play was a good one. Thanks for being an inspiratioin.

Also, DEFINITELY getting the CD once payday rolls around on Friday. I've hated having to wait this long for it.

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

Thanks! That's the two best things you can say to a musician! =D

[Healer96]

Right.

Buying album now.

:D

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

Yay! Thank you. =)

That's handy actually because my iMac just broke. If you could find another 100 people to buy it I could get a new one! =P

[woodlandfox2112]

Dude, launch the ChipIn.

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

I'm not sure I like the idea of Chipin because it's something for nothing... I've just set up a site that lets you offer downloads of a song or album for whatever price people want to pay, so I might use that to let people help out if they want - put up some old unreleased material and let people have it for whatever they want to pay/donate. At least they get something from it.

[woodlandfox2112]

I defer to your self-respect, and applaud the solution you have worked out. I assume the new site works via Pay Pal?

Please keep us updated (preferably via FB) on the fate of your Mac and [if it is not too invasive to ask of you] the costs you are facing to repair or replace this essential conduit of your art. You may be surprised by the support it could generate.

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

Thanks, and I will of course.

It does take paypal, you can see the site at blueskies dot bandcamp dot obvious (apparently youtube won't let me write the c word!), I've put the EP and Blackout Sessions up there already, just need to work out which songs to use for this idea.

[woodlandfox2112]

GREAT energy!

Is it cold in the UK?  You're back wearin' a hoody [jumper].

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

Thanks! Yeh it's on the way to being cold. Quite nice when the sun is out though - warm sun / cool air. =)

[woodlandfox2112]

Maybe another outside video when the snow returns....

[kungfukitten90]

I love this song, it's wonderful! I may actually have to get your CD!

[lesliegonewild]

looooooooove

[Thebrioche66]

I LOVE YOUR ACCENT!! <3

[aLittleBitNaf]

This is a truly wonderful song. I really like it :] x x x

[Laurbubble]

Awesome song! Always love the originals you write!

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

THANKS BUBBLE. =)

[theatrefreak2010]

gahhhh your sooo amazing, i tell everyone that i think would enjoy you, about you. =) i really hope that you make it big, you've got my support and free advertising. =)

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

Haha, thanks a lot! =)

[Rach3y2008]

This and you are amazing!

[ohsocooljess]

your music is growing on me, or maybe i just didnt listen properly before, but the songs of this album are pretty amazing

[DEADKiffer]

That harmonic at the end was perfect... great sound and effective ending to the song :D

[belidama]

that ending was so cool! :D

[Minish]

Ah! I love this.

You can do no wrong with the guitar, Dave. ^_^

[breakfastroute]

One of your best, there's nothing more to say.

[KikaPugna]

Wow! It's wonderful! U're very good! :)

[doubleextermination]

This Is What A Guitar Is Made For..........

[Ultramarine646]

You got a Fender? They're awesome- but so expensive. I have to use a Yahama and 50 year old acoustic.

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

That was £200 man, they aren't all pricey. =)

[Ultramarine646]

The ones I saw at the shop near Wembley had them for around £800. Maybe that was just electrics or some kind of offer.

[razdragan0]

your guitar playing makes my jaw drop.

[contrerazallie]

:):):)

love it so much

[swoat]

Oh dang! This is so good!

[mad4music7]

Wonderful guitar work.

[lalalablair]

this is a nice song to listen to while drinking hot chocolate. :]

[DrGeeky]

Favorite. <3

[musicalmal]

your songs are amazing. as soon as I get paid, Ill be ordering your album.

Thank you :)

ps~ I have the lefty version of that guitar!

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

Thanks a lot!

Now I want a left handed twin so we can form a band and mirror each other on stage.

[Ocalane13]

this is one of my faves from the album. :)

[pineapplemicrophone]

love it and the rest of the album :D

FENDER

[yourshotgunpulse]

really good tune! keep up the good work! :)

[funkyfish1272]

I'd give it 10 stars if I could :)

[sarahjeanne18]

Love the harmonics at the end!

[Thebrioche66]

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[trlstaff]

I liked it, but thought it might have been nice if it was played and sang a little slower....5/5

[thephantommilk]

lovelovelovelovelove <3

[omhyster]

[mattkooliodude]

I liked this one lyrically, you could be pro.

[iianardo]

[sxckuku]

You are an amazing guitarist O_O

[whocaresomg2]

I love your guitar! You should try writing just an instrumental. That would be awesome!

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

Have a look at my second channel called davefromblueskies there are a couple on there. =)

[lachrymosaXX]

I wish I could play guitar like that :/ As it is, I'm mostly just a singer.

[ThreeStepsBack]

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

You're hawt.

[mavstarjeans]

This sounds alot like Paul Baribeau, in a good way of course.

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

I don't think there is a bad way!

[TaylorSmile]

Your guitar playing is always so much fun :) and lyrically, you're awesome. Really enjoyed this!

[wikdot]

if we're telling the truth, i think i am in love with you, Dave <3

[VivaLaLaurennn]

I love it because it is chalk full of talent. :D

[eddplant]

You make me feel completely devoid of talent. This is incredible. Do I detect some Malta references? <3

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

Lol thanks, that's what I aim for.

Actually this was written pre-Malta but I see where you're coming from!

[CheekTV]

I love this song. But then I listen to the whole album as a unit of work x

[ShaneFoxX]

Golden!

[llmcox]

Amazing amazing amazing.

[Jannatjeuuuh]

[EmiliaTsontilis]

ahh, my favourite!! (the song, you're probably not my favourite person)

x

[Minish]

I don't understand why people thumbs'd this down....

My favorite person is David Mitchell. Feel free to thumbs me down too.

[percynumber1]

they normally thumbs it down bcause its irrelevant, there talking about this video and then you get an annoying random comment like that

[EmiliaTsontilis]

ahhahahaahha. fuck, i hope dave forgives me. MINISH. WILL DAVE FORGIVE ME?

[MusicFromBlueSkies]

Wait, wait, wait... NOT your favourite person? Fuck off, why not?!

[EmiliaTsontilis]

there are a lot of people in the world and you STILL havent given me my child.

[Minish]

I am thumbsing you up in support of Dave forgiving you. That's apparently how society works these days.

[idcdammit]

More comments/ratings than views you say?

.
