One person that Gary turned down for a date disliked this video.

[merrycenci]

...."Don't dare stop

Don't loose heart

Don't give up.

Love you."....

All your songs are so melancholic  and positive in the meanwhile... Thanks for giving me this inner strength that you spread around with them

[fuckoffycus]

So much raw emotion today and in this song, thanks Gary :) To invite and acknowledge pain is to tremble and wither and grow. You know enough to be free...Don't dare stop, don't lose heart... Powerful is an understatement! Thank you so much, hearing this means a lot to me today :o) Tx

[smartbluecat]

@fuckoffycus Thank you so much Trish. That's lovely to hear. Your comment means a lot to me today.

:o)

I hope you're well.

:oP

[BluesMamaRaven]

This song still breaks my heart everytime I listen...(pretty often really)... one of my all time favorites. Hello Gary, sweetness all.

[smartbluecat]

@BluesMamaRaven I'm glad it's still potent.

:o)

All my work is very personal but this especially so. After so much time undergrounds I'm happy I surfaced with something that's precious to a few other people and myself.

[Willowtable]

two songs in and I'm a huge fan, can't wait to watch~~hear the rest ~~♥

[smartbluecat]

[loopyone73]

Hey G... any chance of the tab for this amazing track if you're able please bro? =)

[smartbluecat]

@loopyone73 Hey mate! Thanks for the heads up on Laurie's latest - she is always fantastic. Erm... I don't know I'll send you the chords if that'll help but full tab is beyond me... at the mop atleast... just back in from a BIG shift and another waiting for me tomorrow darn it. An early night beckons. I better start winding down pronto but I'll be up for a bit. Mmm... how did I play this again?

:o)

Gary

[loopyone73]

@smartbluecat I think she's posted 2 others since but I've not heard her before and she's a beauty. The chords will be fine mate cheers... I want to see if I can do a spin on it anyway so don't worry about the tab. If I go with it I'll run it by your good self first otherwise I'll stick with what I mentioned yesterday. Don't go to any trouble tonight man, there's no hurry.  I'm off next week and plan to get lot's done... a new loopyone in the making. ; )

[loopyone73]

@loopyone73 Oh, I've also approached a certain Lady about a collab we talked about a while ago... do you think you might be interested in joining us if she's still up for it? She's a real champ! =)

Sorry to fill your comments section with this btw but I'm quite settled here at the moment matey. =)

[smartbluecat]

@loopyone73 I can't wait to hear what you do with it if you decide to go for it man.

I want to hear it now!!! Wow! Paul E sings one of my tracks? A dream come true indeed.

:o)

[fuckoffycus]

One of your best, Gary. I will never tire of your music!!!

[smartbluecat]

Gary

[BigLoveZone]

Gary, I've watched this several times throughout the year, and it's just as fantastic as when I first listened. It's going into my faves for the third time 8-)

[smartbluecat]

Cheers B! Thanks for stopping by. I'm airing out a few older vids at the mo so I'll be featuring a new one every few days on my channel. This was the first time anyone saw me on-line or heard me sing... scary! It's an important tune to me so I'm glad you like it.

Have a wonderful weekend.

:o)

Gary

[BigLoveZone]

@smartbluecat that's a great idea. I do that from time to time in a much less organized way!

[thetubemeister]

Has any told you this is quite a good song yet? I thought I'd come back and felt compelled to tell ya that this is good; quite. (tips his cap politely)

Thanks for your most welcoming hospitality; now, if you'll excuse me, I need to embody Mr Freeman.

[smartbluecat]

Cheers man.

:o)

I'm sending you the making of Mr Freeman through skype if you're interested. Happy crowbarring.

:o)

Gary.

[joesnuggles999]

[jkty776]

@smartbluecat hey bro, i love all ur songs i have added them all to my favorites on my yt channel :D, i just wanted to know weather u got a album? or there is somewhere i can download ur songs? i also like cruel(modo) is that ur old banned?

[smartbluecat]

Thanks so much man. It's always nice to know someone likes my stuff. You're very kind. Modo was my band (we split about4years ago). I'm afraid I don't have them available for download anywhere yet. Maybe this year I'll get that sorted.

:o)

There's some live footage of Modo on my Tagged vid if you're interested.

:o)

Take it easy.

Gary

[jkty776]

@,@...I love this ! Awesome, awesome, awesome song !!, lyrics, vid ! .. Is it a wishful wish.. or do I see long wavy hair? Peace, Love, Incense & Patchouli. DisforDelight

[smartbluecat]

Thanks! Yes you do - I have most of it tied back in Fear the Sincere but some of it escaped. This was the first song I posted on you tube so it's kinda special to me. Before 2009 I was a guitarist only, this year has been my solo singing/song writing year. Cheers for watching, D.

:o)

Have a great weekend!

Gary

[andrewnorris1]

I have watched a few of your vids this evening, A simple plan, to bed, but I keep coming back to this one. You have quite a gift, and like most self taught people have none of the usual hang-ups that inhibit others, I like that, while you demonstrate a great feel for your material and your medium, and I can really respect that. Nice one.

[BluesMamaRaven]

I vote for SPARKS to be the hymn of the Gold Ring. Brilliant...really

[smartbluecat]

I'm very glad you like it so much! Thank you again, Raven. You rock beautifully yourself. 

:o)

Gary

[BluesMamaRaven]

Oh..my... I think I'm hooked...back again. I have fallen into the beauty of your subtle melodies and the deep well of your enlightened songwriter's soul... I wonder what else lies within? Truly beautiful...

[smartbluecat]

Thank you! This song was the first tune I ever posted on the tube so it was a big deal to me. It's a note to self but also to those I know who doubt the strength they have inside.

:o)

Cheers for watching.

[medicinesocks]

fantastic, gary. thanks

[smartbluecat]

Thank you!

[marycigarettes]

life affirming

[smartbluecat]

Thanks for checking it out.

Yeah it was a kind of "note to self" at the time I wrote it.

[betweentwoislands]

Wonderful, very personal in that you did every aspect of this piece.

And good lyrics too, if I'm reading it right ;) We'll reject the false reality so long as we come together, and don't lose our good and true feelings.

[smartbluecat]

Thank you for checking it out. I'm very glad you liked it. Yeah, all my work's personal... therapy. doing every aspect of every piece is why my vids take a while... I'm a control freak creatively.

:o)

Cheers for leaving such a nice comment.

Great sound and magical sights, lyrics. Your sparks of sparks swirl, ignite in a beautiful powerful dance, that grows and glows, free and good; and incredibly, what gets me too, is the kindness. Love the flow and spirit in this...

[smartbluecat]

Thank you! That is one of the best comments I've ever received methinks.

Cheers for stopping by and taking a look.

[smartbluecat]

Thank you very much for your kind words.

:o)

Much appreciated.

[ReliableInsider]

Okay, Gary, now wait a minute. You're not allowed to be incredibly talented at -everything-. :)

Singing and animating seem like such different parts of the brain. Wow.

[smartbluecat]

Yeah this was quite scary to do - I've been writing

music for a lot longer than I've been doing digital art but this was the first time I put my solo stuff out there. Thanks for watching.

:o)

[Miguel9kb]

Awesome song Gary. Very impressive voice you have and the song is just fantastic. The video is wonderful. 5/5 ☆☆☆☆☆

[smartbluecat]

Thank you again! Glad you like it so much.

Have a great weekend!

:o)

[wigon]

Wow! I stumbled on your video by accident looking for a CGI animated short I saw a long time ago. I was VERY impressed by not only the song but also by your video editing skills and tasteful usage of FX. That song REALLY deserves a better drum track however and not the drum machine. Definitely worth taking the tracks over to a small project studio to record some real drums (or perhaps redoing the drum tracks on a goood drum program). At any rate, BIG thumbs up from a fellow songwriter.

[smartbluecat]

Thank you so much. Glad you liked it.

:o)

Yeah I'm no drummer as you can tell. I write most of my stuff acoustic - when I come to rec I'm always frustrated with the drums - I use samples manly but I'm looking at beat software at the moment.

Cheers for stopping by and for the nice words.

:o)

[lilwoodboy]

You, my friend, are talented.

Always inspiring.
