  • Such simple and beautiful lyrics. The melody is so lovely it makes me wanna cry. I love this song!

  • amazing! 

  • Found Alexi through Stargate Universe. Sure glad I watched it now!

  • this man saved me from depression. it's a true story.

  • oh to be a music scout...ideal...

  • oh to be a music scout...ideal...

  • He sounds like he has so much wisdom... You can hear he sings from the heart.

  • There is only one real Alexi .... Laiho !!

  • 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.

  • He looks like Jesus

  • Thanks so much for posting the videos to this set. Beautiful and appreciated.

  • come to Maine please!!!

  • He has THE most amazing voice. HOW have I not heard of him before .../sadface lol

  • 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

  • This song is my favorite and just so he knows, with this song you are inspiring a painter to paint, this very moment. Thanks man! Keep it comin.

  • 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

  • Alexi as the son of Nick Drake....not as original or clever, however.

  • @stonethemason amen to that, your second statement, that is

  • Great song, makes me wanna create something just as soulful and chill

  • this guy is a dude, no doubt about it.

  • 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.

    With love from Washington State.

  • this is unbelievable.

  • damn =/ my brother and sister are both outa country to study got tears in my eyes :\

  • He's wearing a ninja shirt! SWEET!

  • god i love him so much!

    that song is ridiculously soothing.

    and... yea i have to say, he's adorable.

    and his accent's straight up irresistible.

  • i loved that.

  • Beautiful. Estou encantado com o som desse Sr. do vídeo.

  • "I had a dream I stood beneath an orange sky, with my brothers/sisters standing by"... (My side)...

  • "My salvation lies in your love"...

    (If no one loves Him in return, then His salvation was a useless act)...

  • @0pillar great input

  • @albatrosser12 Thanks...

  • this is the most beautiful thing...

  • Beautiful dream, my friend.

  • hes so cute.

    this is my fav song in the world.

  • "So quiet, it's crazy."

    So beautiful, it's crazy :)

  • simply beautiful. thank you.

  • 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.

  • thank you

  • 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

  • this dude's voice is just solid. there's nothing different between recorded version and live versions. just SOLID.

  • I first heard this in my car, driving home. I didn't want the song to ever end.

  • JOHN MARTIN???

  • I love this song very much! Is really touching! Great take! :)

  • ele eh demais

  • reminds me of a young cat stevens

  • Not even close. Try Nick Drake.

  • floating in the orange sky

  • As me jensonofmull ^^.

    Just a amazing song. In perfect harmony with this eposiode 5 of prison break.

  • and he sounds so amazing live

  • I was just watching an episode from season one of prison break and this is in it. Brilliant, brilliant song.

  • Simply stunning

  • Comment removed

  • I'm making a Indie film and want to use this guys stuff, it would go perfect with the film.

    Could anyone tell me how I go about that?

  • Just so you know, the soundtrack for the movie "Away We Go" with John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph is made up almost entirely of his songs...

  • Well if your planning to sell your film you need his permission. But if its none profit i say just go ahead and use it. You won't get sued.

  • His stuff is all over the recent Sam Mendes film "Away We Go."

  • gives me chills..

  • good stuff

  • i think this song is musically creative. it obviously has a focus.

  • great song.

  • I love this song.

  • Sunrise, sunset, sure, but you never see an orange sky at noon, unless something's gone terribly wrong.

    I just saw "Away We Go," and everytime his music came up, I wondered, "Is that Nick Drake?"

    It's hypnotic.

  • i agree that it isn't very creative musically, but it manages to sound good

  • Nick Drake!!!!

  • come home safe...your beautiful daughter is wating for you

  • my brother...come home safe from the gaza strip...you beautiful daughter is waiting for you

  • how is it mediocre?

  • Awesome.

  • No wonder Alanis Morissette likes him so much.

    This guy is amazing. =D

  • Good song. He kinda sounds like Nick Drake in a way. This song reminds me of Pink Moon.

  • perfect chill out song (:

  • watch the sunrise to this song. or the sunset. it's such an amazing feeling. you feel like you're floating.

  • watch the sunset with your brother even better with song

  • @tzncz good pot?

  • This song does serious things to me.

  • /squash Bob.

  • this played on prison break? oh, I found it not from there, but a hallmark commercial where the guy was learning to read

  • yeah it on a really sad moment at the end of season 1 episode 5 be warned it will put you in tears

  • Yeah, i've gotta admit first time i heard this time.

    I got all choked up.

  • I'm really enjoying his music, can someone, please, tell me if we're ganna be blessed by his music once more?

  • beautiful, thanks for sharing..

  • who did the original of this song? i've heard it before, i know i have!

  • It's an original by Murdoch himself.

  • season 1 of Prison Break... PERFECT song!

  • I love tis song can't get enough. ever since i heard it on the last episod e of E R i can't stop listening to it.

  • Great video.

  • Wow. And to think I was worried he wouldn't be a good singer live.

    +5*

    Alexi

    Such simple, beautiful expressions... those who can say the most with few words are the true artistic geniuses.

  • i think it's beautiful..

  • Absolutely beautiful. It makes me think if for no more than a second, there is still hope for the world. Thank you so much for this.

  • 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...

  • preciosaaa ^^

  • I just love this song.

  • One of the best songs ever. Genius.

  • so sick

  • his voice is simply amazing. so peaceful and calm. unbelievable.

  • wow real music is still alive! he should do a remix with lil wayne...jk

  • 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 is beautiful. Thank you for posting.

  • Thanks for uploading this video ! :)

    Classic !

  • Oh marry me.

  • 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

  • I want that guitar but its costs 2 grand. Quite a sound though.

  • 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

  • does anybody know how to play this song on the guitar?

    and how i have to knock on the guitar to the song?

    sorry, my englisch is not really brilliant

  • 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!

  • Brilliant.

  • so good

  • beautiful.

  • 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.

  • this song gets to me....beautiful.

  • 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.

    And only a very special song can do that.

  • up again

  • 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...

  • I just posted a tutorial on it. It should help you out with this version. It's posted as a response to this vid. Peace!
