The Big Farm in the Sky (Ode to a Late Pet)

[PoolShark228]

honestly wondering what kind of people disliked this... besides the fact that it is very good. it's about his dog that died.. how can someone actually click the thumbs down. i just do not get that..

[frankieicheban]

:'}

[SomewhatCleverName]

definitely someone cutting onions around me right now :(

[ninja123k]

@SomewhatCleverName You too ? thats kinda wierd.

[Akakioz]

It is crazy how things work. My dog just passed away recently, less than two months ago, and of course, as the person who had him, i loved him, and he was a sweet and gentle dog. I also started writing a song, but because i am not an experienced song writer, there wasn't much I could do. The point is, this is the first song i've ever seen by you, and wow.... there are very powerful emotions that can be felt from the beginning.

This is very beautiful, thank you for having written this.

[EPrimeRulezTheNation]

Last my cat last night, was so upset during work I had to fight so hard to get through the day, something that helped though was that this video kept playing in my head.

This is very beautiful, and I want to thank you, John.

[sugarycactus]

This made me cry! :( Beautiful!!!

[Infiandreas]

so talented

[Moshugaani]

Beautiful. Made me remember our beloved dog who's also gone to that Big Farm in the Sky.

[azalias114]

Melancholy beauty. Your dog definitely had a wonderful life with such a great owner

[criticastrike]

i can love this song forever

[NickRimmer2005]

Красиво, жаль здесь нет кнопки автоповтора (;

Спасибо!

[TheNubbbler]

Pure talent.

[mostlycrapreviews]

15 people wanted Sagan.

[slaneyside]

its horrible when a dog or cat that you actually really love dies,they are much more loyal than humans...

[jhomie1]

May Science and "good" music live on forever.

[BumperMorgan]

Holy shit, that clip of Lucy at the end brought tears to my eyes.

[ProjectMNow]

Wonderful tribute.

[Maddacheb]

15 dislikes? you have to be fucking kidding me

[synyster86]

As a secure straight man John, I can honestly say that I would totally do you.

[peoplearemessedup]

love the lyrics :D

[DjTommyKx]

Guys im a avid fan of melody sheep! Show your support and donate even just a few bucks!!!!!!! Cmon! lets try and help musicians with real talent get into the light not douche bags like justin beiber who have no musical talen at all.

[TheVaspa]

Amazing.

[DemoraX]

amazing, beautiful, and sorry for your loss.

[gerrylazlo]

I can't tell if I'm saddened by your moving tribute or the fact that I'll never be capable of making things at the level that you can.

[zrhealey]

Such a simple, yet amazing song. It is truly heart warming. It speaks so many emotions, and without using words.

Someone like John, who has so much intellect and follows a path of science... Yet still feels heartbreak and passion for their dog... It is beautiful. Much respect, man.

[soundzofdestructionz]

You're one awesome man, Mr. Melodysheep. I hope all goes well with you, and for Lucy, hope she rests in peace. Amen.

[KennyGarrett95]

I was being a downer and I told my friend in a band that he should really consider a better career than musician because only lucky musicians with big record deals make it, but looking at the this guy's talent and understanding of music on many instruments, I can see what kind of success is possible.

[g0fux0rur53lf]

Amazing song dude, you can absolutely feel the emotions coming through the music, you are incredible

[N0CR3AT0R]

Can I get the link to the download of this song please.

[ace1122tw]

15 dislikes is really too many. One of a kind.

[Coolmang]

The whole video i was almost tearing up. The video of Lucy at the end made me cry.

r.i.p. Lucy.

;___;

[Karlfalcon]

15 people have obviously never had a pet :(

[stinth]

John, I would love to see more from you.

This has two things I love, great music and fancy directing.

I'm sure a lot of others would say the same.

[telecoustic]

Truly astonishing. Music and videography... This was a once in a long time pleasure. Rest in peace, Lucy. Your owner is a one in a billion amazing talent and luckily shows it to the world!

[fuckingyourcorpse]

I NEED the tab for this song, anyone know where I can get it??

[crowded]

You are really great. Keep making music. The world needs beautiful music

[shimmyshow4]

One of the BEST pieces of music I have ever heard!

[awdbadidea]

Sheer class and real emotion :) Love it

[jeangodoy1]

Muito bom...

[kmike3]

...like

[thehside]

Thank you John!

I just lost my beloved dog recently and this song has such a soothing effect for this pain, I don't know how you charge your songs with so much emotion!

Your music is really something else, please don't ever stop playing, the world needs more musicians and inspirations like you! ;D

(as a fellow musician you have all my respect!)

[WeaselCrow]

That was beautiful...

[mikotouchihaXD]

14 ppl missed the like button :(

[Adrianics4k]

the last ten seconds absolutely destroyed me - very good work, and I'm sorry for your loss.

[MellowCruisin]

Honestly, I am not one of those people who comment "14 people in incapable of touching their penis" but how could this be disliked? Perfect instrumental.

[Fentox]

@ AceFantastic where is the mystical repeat button? i've been looking for it for ages!

[TheUraharaFan]

@Fentox

A little trick I found, Create a playlist with just this video and set it to play.

[glendagable]

John, you really are a great music writer. But also, your emotion is somehow implanted in all of your songs. I can really feel the happiness Lucy gave you and how she comforted you as only a loyal companion can. It brings me back not only to memories of my lost friend, but comforting feelings too.

I can also feel your love of Science and the fascination it holds when I hear your music while watching the amazing videos you put together.

Great experiences, you're helping so many see the big Pic

[Rhezoloution]

You are very talented and Dogs are the best , I felt your pain when I my White Shep died a few years ago. I just adopted a pup 2 days ago from a shelter...they bring so much joy. I wish they could live forever. Its so so sad to see them go.

[SuperSpanishJoe]

Can't. Stop. Crying. AAAGH! :-) Fantastic work, though!

[huyked]

My condolences for your loss of your companion. Your song sounds good.

[Vixenated]

This kinda made me cry a little.

My dog just died yesterday.

[TheMaslato]

@Vixenated 1 yr ago 8 likes and the best comment ;O

[lazysammich]

R.I.P lil doggie, my dog passed away about a month ago, i only wish i had the talent to doe something like this.

[balist0]

how on earth does this only have 15,000 views? Thats fucking criminal!

[MetalSlugzMaster]

This was beautiful and heart-felt. You're a great musician btw

[GreenLiberationTV]

In memory of the stray kitten killed by a car yesterday. We were just getting to know each other : (

[BigKazzy]

hey man great stuff, just curious what kind of camera you used? like the way it looks, thanks

[MetalSlugzMaster]

@BigKazzy It's shallow depth-of-field, and any camera can have this effect, as long as it has an adjustable apperature you can make really wide-open.

[veyronman]

@BigKazzy it's more to do with the lens than the camera. I'd assume it was a DSLR with HD video capability, teamed with a prime lens with a nice wide aperture. maybe a 50mm f/1.8

[utoobasaurus]

I lost my kitty not to long ago. It's an experience that really draws one closer to nature and the universe. You wish that all things good exist in another dimension...like heaven...or that Big Farm in the sky. Love the song and tribute! Thumbs up! Sorry about doggy.

[MrPrawdaboli]

Pure "poetry of music".And you are a very nice person:) I wish you the best .

"You can do music and with it ,improve our lifes."

[Jacobsenacc]

Arn't you one talented sonova.

I seriously wish I had as much creativity and talent as you man, 5/5, sorry "thumbs up 5 times".

[fatant4602]

blisss!

[checoto156]

My dog passed away too, she was a boxer and her name was Lucy too.

[zudthespud]

Well filmed and beautiful music. Thank you.

[aslives]

Beautiful song

[Hangshai]

Nice one man. Great tribute.

[nudell14]

This is extravagant

[FissionNonStop]

this is very very very very very very very very..et cetera

GOOD!

[Sarosun]

great video go for a cd man! I lover you melodies

Makes your heart shine

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

My favorite part starts at 2:05. A nice exit, as seen in a couple of SOS videos.

Still would have liked to see more of Lucy in the video itself. No offense to you John. :-)

[mozartiikodesu]

Great performance!

[kaputmonkey]

nice melodic passages..it's a beautiful piece..

[Scarecrow0089]

Beautiful song. A very good expression of your skills and emotion. Truly touching to me because my dog is over 8 years old with the same name. So i will be back to visit this song again one day... Good luck with everything, looking forward to viewing more of your work.

[GrexicanNerd]

Wow. This is the kind of music that I wish was more popular. Today's music is all 'PARTIES! BITCHES! GET DRUNK! YEEEEAH!" and lacks any real emotion. It's easy to listen to this, and without any lyrics, know the message you're saying. This is a wonderful piece of music, and the video editing to go along with it is perfect. Please, do not stop playing music. Ever.

[renabell2]

@GrexicanNerd I don't think I could agree with you any more than I already do.

[GrexicanNerd]

@renabell2 Glad to see someone agrees.

[KennyGarrett95]

@GrexicanNerd More like a sentimental tone. I'm not receiving any messages.

[CanceledCzech]

@GrexicanNerd Dumb over generalization. Most of the music I listen to is from the past decade and none of it is about parties and bitches. Well, maybe a few, but what's wrong with that partying with bitches every once in a while?

[BetaDanU100]

@GrexicanNerd "and withouth any lyrics, know the message your saying."

hahaha you're talking out of your arse so hard

[AutoSear]

Sorry for your loss :(

[quitejaded]

melodysheep, you are so sexy

[sosopitt]

serious talent. more more more.

[fungus3688]

thanks, i needed something to put me to sleep BA DOOM CHING!

[AndyUK2006]

Fantastic tune, added to my favs.

[theQiwiMan]

Awesome. Excellent as always man. :-)

[katapumatmyspace]

sweet

[Neanderthalcouzin]

Nice.

I'm also glad there's a song about a dog. Too many songs about chics. I want variety, music is more than a damn love song to a girl.

[VictoriaBigDaddy]

dude excellent song and excellent playing. I listened to your song and figured out things about life

[ralphzimmermann]

really nice tune as always. love your music man and sorry about your dog though his inspiration has brought this peace of music to thousands of us fans which can only be a good thing :)

[CoolGuy23423]

very beautiful leads, and some excellent camera shots of your key/fret work. i very much appreciated this piece.

[omgwtfbbqstudioz]

Def BA. I love your work, both in the SoS and C-P. GJ bro!

[balist0]

It still staggers me just how few people view John's videos, I have yet to see or hear anything by him that I didn't like instantly (and thats saying something - im a critical bastard!). To those that like this; SPREAD IT TO YOUR FRIENDS, both they and John deserve it!

[dtstrain]

You've made me feel for Lucy. Thank you for sharing some of that feeling you got from her time here. Also, an excellent composition :)

[wondermachinedc]

Beautiful piece. I lost my first dog, a sweet lab, just 2 months ago to cancer.

Thanks for sharing the beauty you created for your sweet friend. All best.

[vuducile]

Beautiful job, man- loving it!

[cylencce]

John-I'm sorry for your loss. The song is beautiful-a fitting tribute. -D

[ModernSaxDotCom]

RIP LUCY!

Beautiful song!!

I think a soprano sax would sound nice in the middle ;-)

[oreo995]

beautiful.

[Speculationist]

Awesome instrumental :) beutiful music

[HernFTW]

R.i.p dog

[stillooking9696]

what a wonderful way to express your feelings

I cried myself sick & begged God to let him come for a visit every now & then...not the best way to handle things but it was all I had at the time. Grief stricken tears

[deejbrown]

This was beautiful, as was your Lucy. Thank you. I know how it feels and will cry again when the next one goes..but just can't stop loving these critters.

[ladd428]

Beautiful :) Great job.

[badugu123]

Beautiful song. Peace to lucy....

[starstuff100]

Beautiful. I cried.

[jimbio]

Sucks to hear about your pet man.

[swamilive]

Beautiful. I'm sure Lucy would be comforted by it.

[boss1001]

What is it about your music that has me listening to it over and over and over...

[geekmastermind]

My condolences to you for your loss. Pets are no less family than any human relative.

[Jimmaresa]

@geekmastermind I agree, but it is a damn shame that pets get better treatment than most of our children. Pets help keep us human...they keep on forgiving.

[Jimmaresa]

@geekmastermind I agree, but it is a damn shame that pets get better treatment than most of our children. Pets help keep us human...they keep on forgiving.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

@Jimmaresa

Pets get better treatment that most children? On what planet?

[strijkbout12]

this really reminds me of a big farm in the sky. very well done!

[Ufosxm]

It's great!

[remotecontrolaholic]

who disliked this? stupid haters.

[siflaar]

I love it, great song created from pure emotion.

[ClintokMeyer]

As a pet owner, I can relate and offer my condolances to you for the loss of your pet.

I really enjoyed your song. I am always impressed by people who have this kind of talent. The world is a better place because of artistic efforts like this.

Thank you

[tehdreamer]

Very touching, nice song :)

[AfexNine]

Just personal opinion, but to me the electric guitar is pretty overpowering in the mix, almost drowns out the other instruments, which is a big shame. Still a really nice song, but yeah.

Either way, it's pretty cool to finally see the face of the guy who's made all these fantastic songs.

[Viva711711]

Thank you. This is beautiful.

[PDALY503]

you are the man

[pocalujmniewdupe]

i know exactly how it feels. thank you for writing this! i'm sure she is in a better place, running around and chasing squirrels :)

[Tdfaria]

Sorry about your dog...

Great song!

[DaTimeHat]

Change yo strings boy - dem shits is rusty

[WhirlyBoy36]

:')

[MAFiA303]

this is very high quality video, my internet connection can't take it lol

[miken700]

Stunning. A gem.

[lozleigh]

I love you melodysheep.

[antpop1]

For you to create such a beautiful song in your dog's honor shows how much you care. Your little one must have had a great life with you. I hope that gives some comfort.

[eltrentoro]

so i'm sorry about your loss and all, but i kinda hope more of your pets die if it gets you to make more videos...

[happyjihad]

@eltrentoro What morbid thinking... But I'm with this guy. =D

[GoheX]

My dog passed away a few months ago. I considered doing this but I know I couldn't have done her justice. I think you did your own dog justice. R.I.P., and I hope you also find peace.

[balist0]

Utterly stunning piece of music!!

PS Fuck anne druyan!

[sandrateager]

This is so beautiful!!!

I'm so sorry about your loss!!!

[arunmnair]

Dude... everything you write is so good. It's really ridiculous haha. Keep it up.

[Generic1125]

RIP Lucy. Sorry for your loss melodysheep, I have been there too

[tysonjon]

RIP Lucy. Thats beautiful John!

[AceFantastic]

The repeat button is being put to good use!

[kristopopins]

very nebulous, awesome.

[michaelemmanuel]

very nice, John!  Nice tribute to your friend!

[NLyteNmE]

Always nice to hear from you!

Quaerendo Invenietis!

[Darkozl]

Dude, this song will be used in AMVs and wedding videos.. you wait and see. absolutely beautiful work.

[erictheartman]

Truly amazing! Keep it up, you rock!

[sidneysablier]

very nice. But you should put clean strings on your guitar lol those strings seem to be used ;) thumb up

[mhmmaria]

this was beautiful, and i'm sorry for your loss.

[HandaCarr]

You have such nice hands.

[noteliiii]

Simply amazing ♥

[ivlfounder]

One of the most historically important Christian Theologians wrote "Be thou comforted, little dog, Thou too in Resurrection shall have a little golden tail."

In other words he found it madness to assume good dogs don't deserve a place of joy in the afterlife.

[manmanpantsman]

I do not like dogs

but I do know your loss, friend

my condolences

[MITHWORLD1]

My sympathies...Lucy,RIP excellent song,Lucy must be sooo happy :)

[vidocqcz]

i want more. MORE :-)

[codesennin]

Well done. As for Lucy, my sympathies..

[Bandnot01]

@ISeeFurther I was just thinking that myself... Beautiful tune

[Doogeedoo12]

So long Lucy! And my sympathies for your loss, my friend.  I'll be sad when mine dog goes, too.

[Crazyfish66]

Aww, thats sweet. Nice tune.

[jwil2570]

Very good. I love this style of music.

[benjenner1990]

Dude, this was amazing :)

You should do a song about animals more often, in fact nature itself. We humans need to respect the wonders of the natural more often.

[Undeployedparachute]

It's good music, but for me, I get tired of the small depth of field in no time.

[armyrat1979]

How many arms do you have? You are quite the multitasker. Well done!

[MassacreMagix]

@armyrat1979 Im pretty sure he did them at different times

[wilsonboswell]

SUBLIME!!!

[ISeeFurther]

Why the hell is the rickroll song in the related videos?

[KillerKennyx]

@ISeeFurther that's a featured video, nub.

[arodomus]

This is powerful. I feel the love you had for the Lucy in the beauty and pain of the music. It feels like your going through a ride, up and down.. The video is very creative too... Dogs are great.

[rbrtmrtll]

you are the Shizznitt!!

fo shizzle

[Wormtail81]

Imagine what would happen if he wrote songs for people ha ha This is great.

[Floydthefuckbag]

My dog just died too. I wish I could write her such an epic tribute.

WeII RIP both our dogs.

and great song!

[Saphiramajka1]

RIP Lucy

[shpaik1990]

wow! this is great! I feel sorry for you.

your dog is lucky to have you as his owner.
