I lost my 29 year old daughter and her boy friend to a DUI driver on June 30. Then, I lost my 39 year old son on January 6, mostly because he never really dealt with his sister's death. My other son brought this song to me, and it was played as the prelude music in both memorial services. It's amazing how this song speaks to those who have lost children or siblings. It brings tears to my eyes and the eyes of my three remaining children, every time we hear it. Thank you, Alexi.
Damn its crazy how the simplicity of this song takes your away man. I lost my grandfather last year right before New Years and when i think of him and hear this song its breaks man heart man. Im happy i learned to play guitar so i could play this for him anytime i feel. I hope he knows that i love him very much
Alexi Murdoch is one of my main inspirations. If you really like his music, please, please take some time to check my stuff out on my channel. I'd really appreciate it!!
Awesome, to see such a gritty, live performance. One which mystifies the distinct between the album version. Maybe Vinyl F-E-V-E-R will want to invest in an iron. Show some love for you name! :)
@PaulRBechard I get what ur saying but that is plastic and it would most likely melt, they prob just put that out that day and never thought it would look wrinkled. but it helps give it the "independent" look lol
I absolutely love Alexi....his music is so pure...so sincere..and this song especially is so beautiful...reminds me of my family and past loves but never in a sad way...I wish I could see him live! I bet he's amazing ...does anybody know if he's single? :) lol Alexi...please come to the UK!!!
The lyrics, the guitar, the feeling is all there. I would have loved to be there. I would be crying to how sincere and just amazed to be in the presence of real music. This is an artist, who has beautified music in his own way.
Life took me away from Nick Drake for twenty years and I was devasated to learn he had died so young. I have since often wondered 'what if ..." Now Alexi has brought back that magic. Great stuff.
Very nice: equal parts Nick Drake and John Martyn - and filmed at my old stomping grounds too! You younger fans should check out Drake & Martyn for sure!
i've been familiar with alexi for awhile and obviously i know nick drake but i'd never heard of john martyn. thanks for the mention. i can't get into 99% of the newer music that comes out so i try to dig deeper into older stuff. it's always nice to find great music that somehow goes unnoticed by the masses
Six strings - two chords - one voice - one man. Simplicity rules the day. We look for it every day. We want to believe in good. Look at us when we see something like the crash in the Hudson. Go find yours...
lol for a sec there i thought u were serious about the remix, i was liek WHAT!? but yeah so true these days with all the crap that gets thrown out there
this song reminds me of chilling on middle bass island laughing, drinking and carrying on...what an awesome time to be with friends and party your ass off
yeah, his guitar is a step down, so put a capo on the 2nd fret and the chords are C with a hammer on on the D string and then i think its Am/F...not sure if thats the chord name but you just move your index and middle finger down one string from C. Thats it until the little bridge sorta thing then its Am, G/C, and Am/F...then it goes back to C...there ya go
I was bored tonight so I just wasted a few minutes posting a quick tutorial on this song. Check it out you like... It should be a big help. I go through the tapping pattern, the chords and strumming patterns. Nothing fancy but should assist you. Hope it helps... Peace!
I had a friend who passed away due to tragic circumstances. And I'd like to believe that regardless of what happened, these are the words he'd like to say to those who love and miss him.
I discovered this song ages ago but I've recently re-fallen in love with it. I don't know, it's just suiting my mood these days. I'm very at peace with life and myself and the world and this song makes me believe everything will be alright, no matter what's going on.
could someone tell me what chords he is using... i mean the form he is using... i use normal open chords... they sound okay but this is just too cool...
Originally heard the song in Prison break's season 1..Perfectly suited the scene.One of those songs which is extremely sad, but at the same time has a small part of hope in it :] 'such a long road we've been walking on'.There is still some real music in this world
Hey guys, I wrote this song awhile back about a girl I had the biggest crush on, but was too shy to say anything. Please have a listen if you have time =)
It's called "Am I just a Fool" under my videos :)
Great artist! I found him on CDBABY while looking for some local musician's work. I was hooked at Orange Sky and the other tunes on his Four Songs CD.
Such simple and beautiful lyrics. The melody is so lovely it makes me wanna cry. I love this song!
