Whole Lot Lighter - Sons Of Maxwell

[Purepanne]

I Found your music recently and fell in love with it!

The harmony, the choices of songs, music actually worth listening to again and again!

There is something about Dave and Don singing together that adds a richness and depth to any song I have heard them sing..

Sons of Maxwell has made a life long admirer....me!

[anitabaker64]

originally from Ontario, but true Nova Scotians!!! love you guys!!!

[g8rb8sfender]

Must be weird to think that someplace in the Middle of Minnesota, Some guy is typing to tell you that you're way to obscure a group. CMT Canada... it's a step... but I wish you guys could get Airplay in the US... It's really strange.. but this version of this song is the one that really catches my attention... One day I'll have to go someplace that's actually colder than here and see you guys. James taylor's Carolina in my mind had been my favorite mellow song for years... not anymore.

[mimimeam]

@g8rb8sfender

Sons of Maxwell travel all over, but they are based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Candad. They have quite a few CD out and they are great. Also, Dave and Don Carrol, who are the Sons of Maxwell, also do their own individual stuff as well.

From the SOM my kids favourite song is Mr. Tanner. It's a great song. They have many upbeat song of various types as well. Our family got lucky when we moved to where we can see them often. In person, it's always a great show!

[wes22ca]

@mimimeam Canada* and its awsom because they went to the same school as i do so every christmas they comeback and play a show ive gone for the past 4 years i love them

[cyndihines]

[athiessen]

I have a trip to Newfoundland planned in July ... cottage by the ocean ... *sigh* ... stumbled upon Sons of Maxwell ... love, Love, LOVE LUUUVVVV you guys!!! Will be in Burt Cove, NFL between July 16 and 26 ... any chance you'll be near by?

[mundymanor]

Would you guys PLEASE come to America more often? Say... Kansas??

[SouthernGospelNut]

Is that the famous Taylor guitar?

[mimimeam]

@SouthernGospelNut

Yes, this is the famous Taylor guitar guy.

[kittyspurrr]

Dear Dave, you know your music is catchy when people sing along. (and even more so when they make people laugh and cry) I know most of your songs by heart now and sing 2nd harmony with Don. Thanks once again for your wonderful music.

[gpatiuk1984]

[Maysey1]

What a wonderful song Sons of Maxwell, man I wish some folks like you would cover my song "Imagine it's You" or one of my many others that folks seem to like. Love your style and spirit Dave. Mark

[edwin4759]

one thing i noticed besides the awesome song is the sound if the guitar, when i visited music center and tried their guitars, i picked up Martin and tried, then Taylor, then grab Martin then Taylor, then i didn't let go Taylor guitar... now i've been dreamin of havin the guitar... saving to get it...

[glenwoodfin]

There aren't enough o's in smooooooooth to describe...

[thiray66]

[shaylossmysterygal]

love this and the united broke guitar ones. cute songs and well done. waves~~

[bedamoon11]

this one got to me...well done, lads.

[jcreyb]

Easy to play, nice harmonies. Your voices display the right vulnerability, and the guitar and bass are a nice counterbalance to the vocals. It is a poignant comment about the divorce pain also.

Great stuff.

[rick2u1786]

Saw their concert live last night in Timmins. It was the best one I have ever seen. They come back to ther home once a year from Halifax. This was their 11th time. A definite on my resevation list for 2010. Grwat band also.

[sgtcharlesfloyd]

Nice song! Is that the 710ce that United broke?

[k6yardotcom]

wonderful work, a very nice music in deed !

with warm regards,

-- ruben

[Meliann11]

Now that's good music! So glad someone sent me the link to your United song so I know about your music now. You have another new fan!

[MsRainchild]

Beautiful...always

[stc1958]

Nice job guys...

Have really enjoyed your work.

[CoffeeDrinker08]

WOW! Incredibly well crafted song. Impeccably performed. Kudos all around.

There's something about a sad, sad song that gives it near universal appeal.

Thanks for posting it!

[Graiskye]

this is a classy classy tune. SoM are doing alright.

[Graiskye]

this is a fucking classic tune man. It gives me goosebumps listening to it.

Well done SoM.

[TONE9142]

If you ever make a greatest hits album, this tune should go on it!

[Maysey1]

Beautiful music, just the kind that still inspires me to this day, hope you don't mind me sharing one of mine here. Mark

[Crimsonblade80]

Great Song! I've always been a rock/metal/punk listener...but this is good, real music!

[Crimsonblade80]

Great song...I need this CD!

[TONE9142]

a nice placid tune... gota give it 5stars

[sloopjohnb324]

Nice job, I'm thinking Simon and Garfunkel when I hear you sing.

[janety98]

Very nice song, very well sung!

[RockingchairBill]

You guys really got something. I love your music & videos!!!

[FeoranPride]

Though the United songs have certainly taken off, I really do love this song the most. Absolutely beautiful.

[FeoranPride]

Though the United songs have certainly taken off, I think this one is truly my favorite. Absolutely beautiful.

[oliviathefolkie]

This is so beautiful!

[BlueBeardie]

I have lived a long time. I've witnessed many men lose money, love, life, friendships and brothers. Losing a brother is the biggest waste of life. Life is difficult, but with brothers one word, one nod and one hug makes all the BS in life go away. Sometimes it's best to say it, mean it and work it out.

trust me.

[diegocariocarj]

Very nice music!

[AliceMaureen]

Great song. I love these guys. Did United ever fix his guitar? Really liked the United tune. They should write new words to it.

[NEFARIOUSPURPOSE]

this is an outstanding song and I`m glad I found this band due to the popularity of UBG, just excellent and looking forward to years of enjoyment in their music and one day even seeing them live , certainly deserve every success , best wishes , Mike ...Perth , West Oz

[ddb05440]

I can't overstate what a huge fan I am of these guys!! Absolutely love them We can all relate to the sentiments expressed by this song at times in our lives. Perfectly done!!! Hope they come to Vermont!!!!!

[FairytalePalace]

I love love love all their ballads. I listen to them daily. I'm hooked on SOM

[Gameking347]

[biglenny67]

Beautiful song guys! Love it more each time I hear it and it's so good to see you guys getting the recognition you have deserved for so long! Don't forget the little people like me who have followed you for years and years!

[poppet1955]

This is the third time I've tried to post.I LOVE this song..my favorite by far.The harmony is so awesome.

[poppet1955]

Just wanted to tell Don that it wouldn't be Sons of Maxwell without him.Love the harmony he provides.This is my favorite song..I play it 3 or 4 times a day!

[rwasmyfirstlove]

ALL OF YOUR SONGS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND GREAT!!!!

THANK YOU UNITED AIRLINES!!! HADN'T IT BEEN FOR YOU, I WOULDN'T HAVE DISCOVERED THESE WONDERFUL SINGERS!! :-)

LOTS OF LOVE TO BOTH OF YOU :-)

Billy (other than Elliot) from MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY, SOUTH AMERICA

[pc4nae]

Good sound! I heard about you from your United Song.

[rgg765]

Love this song - very much in the same vein as Jim Croce. Keep up the awesome work guys!

[78720]

@rgg765 AMEN TO THAT!!

Jim and Dave would be great if they could perform with each other

RIP JIM

[MrYodafett]

@78720 what happened to Jim?

[MrYodafett]

@78720 what happened to Jim?Or did you mean Jim Croce?

[Brutaliuz]

FIRST!!!!

[Libbythebookworm]

This really is a great song.

[KaptKan1]

Reminiscent of the late great Jim Croce. You guys are GREAT!

[YourGrannysGranny]

You have spelt 'Lighter' wrong in the title, but have spelt it right in the description. Just to point it out. You are a great little band, you could make a run for people like Brad Paisley or maybe even somebody like George Jones.

[poppet1955]

This has become my new favorite song.But it's so hard to choose.All the Sons of Maxwell songs are great.

[poppet1955]

Absolutely incredible!I thought I loved "A Woman Like You" but I hadn't heard this one yet."A Whole Lot Lighter" has just become my favorite song.Best to you in the future.And I don't mean it in a bad way,but I'm SO glad United broke your guitar.How else would I have found you guys?

[Vinefeather]

Hm, not exactly my style, but you guys are definitely talented. I think one of my friends would love this. :D -scurriesoff-

[rich6800]

This is really good. Greetings from a Brit in France.

[sully801]

You guys rock, and to think we found you over a broken guitar, (courtesy of United).

[allieteensie]

I know you got a lot of attention from the United Breaks Guitars video but y'all are really good and I hope all the publicity helps your band get the attention it deserves.

[MonsterSound]

Great job (even though the audio quality isn't the best). I look forward to hearing this in HQ.

[ddb05440]

This song is so very haunting! You've got a huge fan in Vermont!

[freewebtv]

Nice song, well written and nicely played.

Just need to work on your spelling. ;-)

[AZterritory]

Wonderful!

[hutchisonb]

I can't find this on iTunes. I've bought your stuff but can't find this there. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song. You guys are awesome. Please post this and more on iTunes. Please!!!

[hutchisonb]

I love, love, love, LOVE this song. You guys are awesome. I've bought your stuff on iTunes, but I can't find this song. :((((((((

I am pretty much desperate now for all your stuff. Can you put this and more on iTunes? Help!!!!

[dashandsplat]

Wow, what a treat these guys are!  I just happened across them because of an email sent to me about the 'United Breaks Guitars' sensation! Good Stuff!

[Bigmussie1]

Oh, that's really really nice. Like a young Jim Croce.

[1footonthedawn]

What a beautiful song. I <3 Sons of Maxwell & Dave.

[PixiesFanatic]

Almost like a Byrds song, excellent

[MMsGirl15]

This so is so great! I wonder why i am the first to comment? Oh well, Don and Dave this song is great and i love all of your songs! I would just like to congratulate Dave on the success of UBG. It was a fantastic way to make a complaint and your statement defending the staff member you mention is the song was really thoughtful. I have been and always will be your biggest fan :) xx

[salvisascamp]

Wodnerful harmony.

[GMitre4]

Really nice song..

[gepimu]

Great tune and lyrics about broken hearts and love lost. Awesome.

[JackyJack3000]

WOW!

[pyrobryan]

Never heard a Canadian with a southern accent (American south that is).

[funrundun]

Beautiful Guys!

[KaptKan1]

The Sons of Maxwell ROCK!

[calax75]

[KaptKan1]

You guys are really talented. This song reminds me of the late, great Jim Croce at his best.

The Sons of Maxwell ROCK... and FOLK... and COUNTRY... and...

[TheCosmicFrog]

Nice job guys. A really mellow song! 5*

[iveante]

This is fantastic!...from a Croatian in Ottawa...go figure....it hits me hard.

[RodWilliamsMusic]

this must be the guitar they broke.......

[aletaleta]

This song also works for me as words of comfort in trying to handle the difficult death of my mother.

[UtubeFreshman]

If there is no crying on BT why play such a sad song....

[bubbalip2222]

This song is high quality. Its the one that should be getting all ther attention. Way to go guys.

[extracorporeal]

Is the title supposed to be "Whole Lot Lighter"?

Sweetest break up song ever.

[Craftycarmen]

Wow, this so beautiful!!!

[MrClamjuice]

I hope you and your team/band just absolutely blow up because of United Airlines poor customer service.

[breakland]

I was initially drawn to your videos by "United Breaks Guitars", but this is really great work guys!

[gaiagale]

I commented on this video earlier.

[gaiagale]

Brilliant lyrics! I checked your channel after seeing your video about your Taylor guitar and your subsequent statement. I'm astounded at the number of comments where people ragged on UA. I hope that your gratious statement and your other music gets as much attention/comments because you are an amazing artist/musician.

...thanks for sharing your musical statements on youtube!.

[cateater4u2]

god dam what a voice :) is there an album?

[GryphusLionheart]

[bluejackets136191]

I think you can thank United Airlines for bringing your music to a lot more people. Might have been worth the Taylor.
