[jhaley12]

Hello Lily, as you can see by the comments alot of people think this song sounds like an old Beatles song. I wrote this when I was around 16 or 17 and I've always been very heavily influenced by them. I am so glad you like this, thanks Reg

[infinitedwarf]

Well... I've not been able to post anything, just have some playlists up at the moment. Trying to get over my major "stagefright" of playing recorded. It's a slow process, lol.

[jhaley12]

sorry for the late response, but just go with it and be yourself, i've played in front of thousands of people and it isnt' easy but just put yourself in a different place and you can do it, remember you can always erase it. Good luck, Reg.

[miketheveg]

sounds sick bro.. maybe i could use one of your tracks for a low budget production of ours called Simon Sayz.. videos on my youtube page

[jhaley12]

Hey i don't understand your comment, but if you don't like it please don't listen, maybe a tazer is more your speed. I don't remember having you in mind when i wrote this but i'm open to all comments, i look forward to your original song with you playing the instruments as well.

[miketheveg]

hey mate i said i liked your song?? "sick" means good btw.... thats why i asked you if i could use it for my movie.. there are 2 of my original tracks on my page called - how will we live, and flames and fire - by me, michael menzies.. have a listen.. they just too mellow for my movie.. peace

[jhaley12]

Hey miketheveg. man i'm so sorry i'm 56 years old and you know sick to me means well sick. lol really sorry please feel free to use any of my songs you'd like, i'd be honored, let me know so i can see it would like it very much. Again i'm very sorry, Reg.

[DsmB2007]

WoW

[jhaley12]

thanks so much, sorry for the late response, Reg.

[BytomGirl]

You sound great! I am glad I commented on the Procul Harum and you replied :-)I am finding some great old music here. Thanks.

[wildhorsestudios1421]

Dig a Pony! Awesome. You'd almost think that Paul and Bad Finger had a hand in this production.

[jhaley12]

This is one of my favorites as far as my own material. It is definately inspired by The Beatles and I would love to redo it but I don't know about hitting those notes anymore. RJ

[AMG93]

I love this!

[AMG93]

I love this!

[jhaley12]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your comment.Reggie

[dnarbbrand]

lol and people reckon i write like The Beatles and Paul McCartney - you guys win the trophy lol

great song

[openyourmind25]

I already like the first five seconds.

[jhaley12]

Thanks so much, please check out "Forever" Jun is playing guitar on that one too.

[timtipton5071256]

Man you have a great voice...bluesy quality..Really fantastic...Jun is one of my favs too man...keep rockin

[jhaley12]

Hi, thank you very much, I'm so glad you like the song, please check out "Forever" it's with Jun also. I've got new songs coming up soon, original songs.

[esteehoneywillkittu]

i really like your voice reg!

[jhaley12]

Hi, yes Jun played the lead break on this song and a new one "Forever".

[dustyboyx]

Wow excellent song. Is it you singing?

[jhaley12]

Thanks, yes it's me singing. I am releasing a CD hopefully before April, thanks again.

[dustyboyx]

Will it be available online?

[dustyboyx]

If so then it's a deffinit buy for me. Keep up the awesome work.

[jhaley12]

Again thank you for your comment and your interest. I'm not sure yet about the availability online but I'll let you know.

[vwtch]

This definitely has a 'Pete Ham - Badfinger' sound to it. In the 60's/70's this would have easily been a hit. I am certain of that. Keep it up!

[jhaley12]

thank you very much, I had never thought of the song sounding that way but I guess your right.

[frenchytouch]

oh i forgot,very nice video editing!

[frenchytouch]

man you rock,grea song,inspired a bit by "maybe i'm amazed" am i wrong?great voice!jun's solo is perfect!

[jhaley12]

hey frenchytouch, your right on, this was inspired by maybe I'm amazed and the Beatles as a whole, hence the backing guitars, thanks for the kind words, Jun did an excellent job in both departments.

[yppers]

Great, love the style of the song. keep making them :)

[jhaley12]

Hi and thanks, this was written when music was music. I do have more on the way thank you again.

[HumptyKing]

Beautiful!

[jhaley12]

Thank you very much.

[HelloHalo117]

Beautiful song. And jun was pretty damn awesome too.

[jhaley12]

thank you so much, please check out my channel, Jun is a fantastic guitar player.

[PDXguitarlegend]

Wow... WOW. That was awesome. What a great song, and Jun really played great here too. 5*s and favorited.

[jun626]

Thank you so much my friend!

[jhaley12]

thanks so much, Jun and I have something new coming pretty soon, he is an amazing guy, thanks again.

[jeffj257]

jun and your vocals are great . jun guitar solo is amazing

[4thfret]

Simply amazing! I'm looking forward to hearing more from you!

[jhaley12]

Thank you so much, I'll have a couple of new songs up shortly. I am so glad you like this one and hope you'll like the ones coming, again thank you.

[Dansull123]

very Beatly!!!!!!!

Awesome

[BeatlesBassGuitar2]

this is THE BEST NEW ORIGINAL SONG THAT I HAVE HEARD IN A LOOOOOOOOOOOOONNGGG Time sounds like a Paul McCartney Song which adds a little something that everybody likes

[jhaley12]

BBG2, thank you so much. I am a life long fan of the Beatles and love everything they ever did. I will have a new song up before too long it's just taking longer than I thought. I'm gonna check out your stuff, thanks again.

[ShakeMetro]

Hey there its BBG2 other account that im gonna use in the future just updating some stuff doing alot of different music and im just saying hi i really missed youtube for many reasons and this song is one of those reasons so thank you and please check my account out in later june/july ill have more music out.ShakeMetro

[fredthejunkman]

Reggie, had to come back for another listen...man this is just beyond words! If there is any way I can lend a hand in mixing mastering, bkg vocals, or whatever, PLEASE let me know. You've got a great voice and great song-writing skills! ***** from me x 10!

[jhaley12]

Thank you very much Fred, I decided not to go with the Tascam, it doesn't have Hi-Z inputs for the musicial instruments so now I'm researching a Zoom HD8CD. I'll let you know, thanks again.

[montblancparade]

amazing job! i haven't heard anything this good since the real beatles. the bass line is especially mccartney-influenced at times. very good, keep it coming-both of you

[jhaley12]

Thanks very much, that is truly a big complement. It won't be too long and we'll have something new up, thanks again.

[spartan24018]

Where are the lyrics for this song?

[jhaley12]

I didn't post them, didn't know how.

[shadownerv]

Great song!!

It's yours?

I really like it! Five stars!

And a wonderfull guitar solo from jun ,as always

[jhaley12]

Hi, thanks I'm glad you like it. Yeah I wrote this. It is highly "Beatles" influenced, I'm working on some new stuff that Jun and I are going to do, hope to get it up soon, thanks again.

[ripley222]

Jun,

Cool tele man. Edwards is also killer. Great song. Great playing as always.

Thanks for what you do.

[muttiplay]

is that jun at 2:57?

we see you at last...very good song

[muttiplay]

sorry... 1:57

[jhaley12]

Yes that's my friend Jun, the best guitar player on YouTube and an even better person.

[timtipton5071256]

good stuff!!!!

[fredthejunkman]

Great tune man! You sound like the Beatles with a little bit of Foreigner thrown in for good measure! Love your voice, dude! Check out some of my stuff.

[Katsumato0]

I see you Jun! Very Good Guitar Playing.Who is the singer?

[jhaley12]

Hi Katsumato0, I wrote and sung the song. I'm working on new ones right now for Jun and I to do. Hope you liked it.

[then00best]

nice

[danimalindy]

Wow...impressive.  Sounds very Beatles-like (and I mean that in a good way). Great voice, great guitar...good collaboration! Keep em coming fellas.

[jhaley12]

Thank you very much. Jun and I are planning on some big new things to come. He is an out standing guitarist and more importantly a wonderful person. Watch Friends and I on my channel to see some pictures of me and Pete Best, again thank you very much.

[z1freerider]

Awesome Solo Jun!

[oscaesnaopensam]

you really did this song? it's all yours? because it sounds one of those classic song, that we hear in the radio, and stay in our head forever [in a good way]

[jhaley12]

Hi, yes it's mine. I wrote this song somewhere around the early to mid 70's. As you can tell it is highly influenced by The Beatles, the backing guitar licks are "Abby Road" and the run on the piano is "McCartney" Maybe I'm Amazed. Hope you like it. The lead is entirely Jun's.

[oscaesnaopensam]

yes, i do^^

im learning the lead part, so i can do a video tribute to jun =D

im learning lots of things thanks to him

[jun626]

That is Great!!!Good Luck!!!

[Organiclymade57]

at 1:54 thats jun or is it?

[jhaley12]

I'm not at liberty to say, thanks for watching.

[jun626]

yes,thats me！

[sjcoomer]

I love this...You are truely amazing.Don't ever give up your dreams.I love you, Shelley

[Emmett006]

You've written a great song, when I first heard it I couldn't quite believe that it wasn't something late beatles that I'd missed. You know like 'free as a bird' found and brought back to life. And that boy can't half play the guitar!

[jhaley12]

Hi and thanks, I'm glad you like the song and yes it does have a "Beatles" sound to it, I was highly influenced by them. Jun is a fantastic guitar player, go to his channel and watch his Beatles guitar solo's.

[frenchytouch]

mmh...mc cartney spirit here.. you did a great job together!

[jhaley12]

Thanks, Jun did a fantastic job. I've written a new song that he's going to play lead on and I'm thinking about trying to put it together with "YouTube" musicians. You'd sound great doing bass on it. I've still got to get in the studio and do a demo of it but let me know if you'd be interested.

[aki3912]

Beautiful song!! I like it so much!

jun`s guitar is too! thank you so much!

[jhaley12]

aki3912, thank you so much. The song is actually about an old girlfriends father who was a truck driver, she bet me I couldn't write a song about him and Don't Deny Me is the results, I'm so glad you like it.

[genealogyy]

Your song is really wonderful!!! There's some Lennon's musical mood, and you sound so awesome! Great work!

and with Jun.. you do magic music!

5+ and fav.

[jhaley12]

Thank you so very much. I am a huge Lennon and Beatles fan so thank you again. There is no bigger compliment than having someone recognize your music and Jun really made the song. I hope to do more with him again, thank you so much.

[bbonny1]

You almost sound like the singer in Foreigner :)

[jhaley12]

Well thank you very much, that is a big compliment, I use to do a lot of Foreigner "back in the day", also did some Nazareth. I've got three new songs I'm mixing down so maybe I'll have them up pretty soon. thanks again.

[bbonny1]

WOW, that would be cool to listen too. I'm totally into listening to "original compessions". Make sure you ask "Jun" to play in them ;)

[jhaley12]

I've written one song in particular with Jun in mind, it is sort of like the Raspberries did, I always loved Eric Carmen, so I'll be sure to let you know when there up. Jun is such a nice person and one hell of a guitar player.

[bbonny1]

Speaking of Jun...I had never been on youtube before, and I have been going through alot of things lately, had someone who claims they can read fortunes told me I'd be meeting someone who has the gift of music and a heart of gold born in June. (continued)

[bbonny1]

You have a "rock" voice, sounds like the ole classic's voice, 70's rock. Very cool song, lyrics are great.

[jhaley12]

Thank you, I'm glad you like the song and my voice. I think the "older" music is the best music. Jun did one heck of a job on the guitar and the video editing, he is a super nice person.

[bbonny1]

Your welcome :) I actually found Jun's guitar playing on "youtube" after searching for guitar players. What i found cool is how he never showed his face in his video's. I believe that is him in your video :)

[jhaley12]

Hi bonny, yeah I think that's Jun too. He is definately the best I've heard and believe me I've seen a bunch. He goes out of his way to help people and I wrote this new song just to showcase his lead playing, it should be a great song if we can get it worked out.

[bbonny1]

jhaley12, are those your paintings?

[jhaley12]

yes those are mine, the pictures of are my nieces and when I was touring on the road.

[bbonny1]

The first guitar solo that I came across after the first time being on youtube was Jun's song..."A Cover of The Beatles Guitar 1 / Let It Be Medley", that video just captured my soul and the rest is History. He lightens my mornings and evenings with his music. :) So to me, he's an angel :) and yes, nice guy....

[bbonny1]

Cool nastalgic video editing with the record player, I like that and the lead of course if "AWESOME" :) Great voice by the way, very unique. Could of had some base playing and maybe a tamborine? :) Great job...

[jhaley12]

thanks for the compliment, I didn't want the bass to override the guitars but it's plenty strong. I've been away from tamborines for a long time. thanks so much

[BetteGump]

AWESOME!!!! THAT'S ONE BAD LEAD !!!
