[theloathlydaddy]

Welcome back Thomas and happy holidays! :)

[freenexton]

Your voice almost sounds like Chuck Norris'

[freenexton]

Pretty deep song my brutha. You should have a recording studio of your own.

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks Steve and Rich, have a great holiday season! :)

[willnflorida]

:-) Love it Steve

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks Will, much appreciated! :)

[faelarwen]

Dude, you should send a demo cd to some various recording company, man. I mean... you shouldn't waste great talent like this. Like what you said in the song... "It's such a shame".... ^_^

It's excellent, Steve! Really cool! :D

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks Noor, much appreciated! I haven't played guitar in quite awhile and am very rusty, and also I no longer have my recording equipment, but hope to get it all back soon. Have a great weekend, friend! :)

[RubberWilbur]

I've listened to this song like 5 times today, it really stays with you. I don't know why in the hell you don't get more views.

[rickvanman]

Really great work Steve! Lovin it!

[rickvanman]

Guitar solo was awesome!

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks, Rick, very much appreciated, I did my bestest  :)

[williamdouglasb]

Great job!

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks, Bill, much appreciated :)

[diamondreveal]

[TheToltec]

Cool:)

[theloathlydaddy]

Much appreciated, Henry, have an awesome weekend! :)

[maknbacon]

Wow, a lot of time and effort went into this video. You did do a great job on it and what a lead solo!

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks for the kind words, Allen, have a super weekend pal :)

[Perroquet51]

Steve, everything about this is beautiful! I had no idea you had this kind of talent. Even the editing was terrific and those tree branches forming a heart in the sky. Beauty often comes from deep pain. This reminds me of the Kiergegaard quote:

"What is a poet? An unhappy person who conceals profound anguish in his heart but whose lips are so formed that as sighs and cries pass over them they sound like beautiful music."

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks so much Marc, for a very meaningful comment. Have a great weekend, friend :)

[Perroquet51]

You also, Steve.

I really should never come back to a comment cuz I always find a typo. Of course I meant Kierkegaard, in case anyone tries to look it up :-)

[proofisinthepudding]

I like good stuff!:)

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks, Carolyn, really very much appreciated :)

[marywinmusic]

b r a v o ! wonderful piece Steve and Tim.

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks so much, Mary, that means a lot coming from someone as wonderfully talented as yourself :)

[moomay11649]

Steve,

A most wonderful piece of music!

You are so talented, my friend!

Luvs,

Mooz

[theloathlydaddy]

You're wonderful, Carol, thanks so very much for the kind words :)

[RubberWilbur]

Steve are you going to have the opportunity to spend time with your kids tomorrow for Thanksgiving or with other family dude?

[theloathlydaddy]

Well, I guess the answer is obvious by now... anyway, thanks so much for commenting and have a terrific weekend :)

[NLPNVC]

Wow, dude that guitar is all a flame. You got skills man! Much gratitude!

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks, friend, all the best, and have a super weekend! :)

[Bflatblues55]

Hey my loathly friend ... you're a marvel... truly. This was SO frigging excellent! I loved watching every moment of your video and truly felt the heartstrings tug a bit at your bittersweet lyrics.

GREAT tune. Can't even say enough good stuff here about this one, Steve. Wonderful.

[Bflatblues55]

And I especially found you cute as a button (a sexy button) at 4:19 ! Love the George Harrison look in your eye. My next fave? At 6:10 ... that "daddy" shot ... SO very cool. Love this! lots of work went into it.

[theloathlydaddy]

Much appreciated, Carol. Sexy? No kidding? lol Have super Turkey Day, my good friend :)

[theloathlydaddy]

What a wonderful comment, especially coming from such a terrific talent as yourself. This really made my day, Carol, thanks so much :)

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks Juan, have a super day my friend! :)

[JoeFielding72]

This is the best song I have herd in a long long time. I love your lyrics and the Melodie.Your sound takes me way back. You are a Star and I would love to hear more. The feelings that were packed into this song and mixed with your video. Was super powerful. I will be watching this video for a long long time. Thank you my dear friend for sharing this with me. I hope you have the best Thanks Giving ever and I can not wait to enjoy more of your music. THIS ROCKED. God bless you and your family,.

[theloathlydaddy]

Will try to post more music videos soon, I'm so very grateful for the response from my good friends. Thanks for my heart, Joe, you're the greatest :)

[anmoose]

You have previously hidden talents that are seeping out into the wild, now. I do hope you don't plug that leak.

This is a powerful song, Steve, very introspective, and I think it gives us all cause to slow down and reflect on how transient life is. I feel an aura of Moody Blues in parts of it.

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks so very much, moosie, I very much want to write and record more music. Unfortunately, this apartment is above the office for the apartment complex, and it's not that easy to just plain crank it up! But I'll find a way... thanks again, and have a terrific Thanksgiving Day! :)

[GAMS1981]

You remain in my thoughts and prayers Steve. Hang in there, and best wishes for a good turkey day.

God bless.

I've written and recorded many songs, and only now have begun to make them into music videos. Very glad you enjoyed this one, Aegan, your kind words made my day! :)

[thizizliz]

0:30 the sky was heart shaped. Cool. Oh! It's repeated at the end - perfect circle! :) Lovely song, imagry and message. Well done.

[theloathlydaddy]

Believe it or not, Liz, I didn't realize the sky was heart shaped at the time. So I was pleasantly suprised when I saw the video, and read the comments, and folks were noticing this! A lucky accident of the fates. Thanks for stopping by, you're the greatest  :)

[blueclouds4me]

Awesome work here Steve!! I see many hours in editing but well worth the effort;-)

Music is great as well.....loved this, truly enjoyed!!

Bravo~~

Hugs

Marylou

because I don't understand when you speak...I ever prefer you play music.

It's very good music

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks, friend :)

[booya62056]

I love your creativity as a musician as well as through your videomaking! Again, I do hear a Neil Young influence which is awesome! I also love your KISS posters and memorablia. Looks like you have accomplished a lot so far in your life as well as I am sure many memories yet to come! thanks for sharing!

[theloathlydaddy]

Very, very much appreciated Blair, thanks so much for the kind words :)

[booya62056]

You are welcome!

[liz1060]

It's interesting to see how you grew through the years, Steve, thanks for sharing these old photos. They are a perfect complement to the poignant song -- well done video!

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks so very much Liz, have a terrific Thanksgiving and all the bestest to you and yours :)

[greggfla]

What can I say Steve? Im totally blown away. This is nothing short of creative genius! The depth of this video is amazing. Whats so impressive to me is the fact that you have achieved what most musicians/artists strive for, and never seem to be able to accomplish. You made your audience feel genuine emotion. Your emotion. Bravo, very inspiring! Faved and 5*s!

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks so much, Gregg, that's a great complement, I really tried to give it my all for this one :)

[MonaroDoorslammer]

Great song, Steve. This would make a super addition to the charts.

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks Dave, much appreciated! :)

[Ivansvideocollection]

Well done Steve! As noted in a previous comment, very deep. Best wishes bud!

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks, Ivan, very much appreciated, guess I was in a deep mood :)

[MrRandomWritings]

Love the song - cool vid too

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks Brian, have a great week, keep on rockin' :)

[robertpina99]

That's a nice heart shaped clearing through the trees, Steve.

[theloathlydaddy]

Believe it or not, Robert, that was completely by accident. I was just videotaping in the park, and knew a view of the sky was needed. So I just tilted the camera up and this was the result. I didn't realize that it was heartshaped until people began commenting on the video. But I guess it worked out okay. The video seems more meaningful, as a result. Thanks for the kind words. :)

[robertpina99]

Sometimes nature works with you, Steve. Peace.

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks Melinda  :)

[hallbe]

Well...aren't you Mr. Deep and Reflective! ;-)

That was AWESOME man! great job!!

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks so much, I was feeling, er, kind of deep and reflective at the time lol Have a great week, friend :)

[IreneK43]

Wow! Awesome video ;o)

Hugs, Irene

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks so very much, Irene, you're the greatest :)

[RubberWilbur]

Artistic wise as far as the video I would have had you ending with putting the pictures back into the dresser, then closing the drawer. The video seems to represent your life.

[RubberWilbur]

You sound a little like Neil Young. Very nice.

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks friend, it's an honor to be compared to the great Neil Young. :)

[TamHickey67]

Wow Steve, what a great song. I could picture the Stones or U2 covering this. Loved all the editing that went into this too. Great photographs and very poignant.

[theloathlydaddy]

Thanks very much, Tam, I kind of poured my heart and soul into this one, glad you enjoyed. :)

[keanghiero]

Nice

All the best
